Self efficacy and self care behaviours among adults with type 2 diabetes.
Venue: Applied nursing research ANR
Year: 2017

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) has an impact on an individuals' health and is influenced by glycemic control.  To examine the relationship between glycemic control, demographic and clinical factors on self efficacy and self care behaviours among adults with T2DM.  A correlational, descriptive study was used. One hundred and forty Omani adults with T2DM were recruited from a public hospital.  Data on self efficacy, self care behaviours and glycemic control were collected between April and July 2016. The study was approved by the College Ethics Committee and Hospital Board. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were conducted.  Most adults had a fasting blood glucose >7.2mmol/L (90.7% with the majority demonstrating 'uncontrolled' or poor HbA1c of >8% (65% Variance of self care behaviour (20.6% and 31.3% of the variance of the self efficacy was explained by the age, duration of diabetes, medication, HbA1c and prevention of activities of living.  Adults with T2DM with poor glycemic control were more probable to have poor self efficacy and self care behaviours. Glycemic control has an effect on improving diet, exercise, medication, foot care efficacy and behaviours.  The study recommends using these findings to plan self efficacy and self care behaviour to improve glycemic control among adults with T2DM.

A revised molecular phylogeny reveals polyphyly in Schistura (Teleostei: Cypriniformes: Nemacheilidae)
Venue: Zootaxa
Year: 2019

There is a general consensus that the genus Schistura (Nemacheilidae) currently with 241 species, is not monophyletic. However, weak morphological synapomorphies and a lack of genetic data for most species of Schistura and their presumptive relatives have prevented meaningful diagnoses of species groups within this genus. To aid in deciphering evolutionary relationships, sequence data from two mitochondrial genes (cytochrome b and D loop) were implemented in phylogenetic analyses for species of Schistura and other nemacheilids for which data from earlier studies and recently collected material were available. This analysis of 67 nemacheilid species, including 28 species of Schistura, provides the most comprehensive phylogeny of Nemacheilidae to date. In the phylogenetic tree for the combined data set, species of Schistura clustered in three clades. One clade contained 14 species of Schistura and Sectoria heterognathos and was sister to Homatula. A second clade of 11 species of Schistura was in a larger clade with Turcinoemacheilus kosswigi and Nemacheilus corica. The third clade contained three species, all from the Mae Khlong basin of Thailand. Taxonomic implications of these results are discussed; however, a more taxon rich dataset and nuclear sequence data are needed before making taxonomic changes.

Recycling of leather industrial sludge through vermitechnology for a cleaner environment A review
Year: 2020

In the last few decades, an enormous number of industrial sectors have been developed particularly, leather industries. The leather industries consume a large quantity of freshwater and various chemical substances during the leather making process and eject different solid waste materials, hides, buffing dust materials, and wastewater sludge. Besides, leather industrial wastes contain a significant amount of hazardous substances like heavy metals (e.g. cadmium, chromium, lead, nickel, and cobalt) aluminum sulfate, and magnesium oxide. Insecure disposal of wastewater sludge creates serious environmental problems in soil and groundwater. This situation warrants the easiest way to rationalize such conflicts through urgent environment friendly disposal technologies. The main objective of the present review is to highlight the remediation of leather industry wastewater sludge through eco friendly vermiremediation employing earthworms. Additionally, earthworms and microorganisms can eliminate toxic chemical substances. The present review also addresses earthworm species employed in a polluted environment, factors (i.e. pH, humidity, and temperature) and amendment materials essential for the stimulation of earthworm activity. In the hope of moving past this state, the earthworms are used for in situ and ex situ remediation of leather waste materials. The present review points to the real significances of vermi treated leather wastes as plant growth promoting medium that is useful in the field of sustainable agriculture. Furthermore, the fastidiously gathered evidence proves that vermi treatment would be a potential alternative strategy to our surroundings with improved agroecosystems.
Do We Need to Create Big Datasets to Learn a Task?
Venue: SUSTAINLP
Year: 2020

Deep Learning research has been largely accelerated by the development of huge datasets such as Imagenet. The general trend has been to create big datasets to make a deep neural network learn. A huge amount of resources is being spent in creating these big datasets, developing models, training them, and iterating this process to dominate leaderboards. We argue that the trend of creating bigger datasets needs to be revised by better leveraging the power of pre trained language models. Since the language models have already been pre trained with huge amount of data and have basic linguistic knowledge, there is no need to create big datasets to learn a task. Instead, we need to create a dataset that is sufficient for the model to learn various task specific terminologies, such as 'Entailment' 'Neutral' and 'Contradiction' for NLI. As evidence, we show that RoBERTA is able to achieve near equal performance on 2% data of SNLI. We also observe competitive zero shot generalization on several OOD datasets. In this paper, we propose a baseline algorithm to find the optimal dataset for learning a task.
Improved Memory Elicitation in Virtual Reality: New Experimental Results and Insights
Venue: INTERACT
Year: 2017

Eliciting accurate and complete knowledge from individuals is a non trivial challenge. In this paper, we present the evaluation of a virtual world based approach, informed by situated cognition theory, which aims to assist with knowledge elicitation. In this approach, we place users into 3D virtual worlds which represent real world locations and ask users to describe information related to tasks completed in those locations. Through an empirical A/B evaluation of 62 users, we explore the differences in recall ability and behaviour of those viewing the virtual world via a virtual reality headset and those viewing the virtual world on a monitor. Previous results suggest that the use of a virtual reality headset was able to meaningfully improve memory recall ability within the given scenario. In this study, we adjust experiment protocol to explore the potential confounds of time taken and tool usability. After controlling for these possible confounds, we once again found that those given a virtual reality headset were able to recall more information about the given task than those viewing the virtual world on a monitor.

The effect of COVID 19 and subsequent social distancing on travel behavior
Venue: Transportation Research Interdisciplinary Perspectives
Year: 2020

The spread of the COVID 19 virus has resulted in unprecedented measures restricting travel and activity participation in many countries. Social distancing, i.e. reducing interactions between individuals in order to slow down the spread of the virus, has become the new norm. In this viewpoint I will discuss the potential implications of social distancing on daily travel patterns. Avoiding social contact might completely change the number and types of out of home activities people perform, and how people reach these activities. It can be expected that the demand for travel will reduce and that people will travel less by public transport. Social distancing might negatively affect subjective well being and health status, as it might result in social isolation and limited physical activity. As a result, walking and cycling, recreationally or utilitarian, can be important ways to maintain satisfactory levels of health and well being. Policymakers and planners should consequently try to encourage active travel, while public transport operators should focus on creating ways to safely use public transport.
The Making of the Ancient Greek Economy: Institutions, Markets, and Growth in the City States
Year: 2015

This comprehensive introduction to the ancient Greek economy revolutionizes our understanding of the subject and its possibilities. Alain Bresson is one of the world's leading authorities in the field, and he is helping to redefine it. Here he combines a thorough knowledge of ancient sources with innovative new approaches grounded in recent economic historiography to provide a detailed picture of the Greek economy between the last century of the Archaic Age and the closing of the Hellenistic period. Focusing on the city state, which he sees as the most important economic institution in the Greek world, Bresson addresses all of the city states rather than only Athens. An expanded and updated English edition of an acclaimed work originally published in French, the book offers a groundbreaking new theoretical framework for studying the economy of ancient Greece; presents a masterful survey and analysis of the most important economic institutions, resources, and other factors; and addresses some major historiographical debates. Among the many topics covered are climate, demography, transportation, agricultural production, market institutions, money and credit, taxes, exchange, long distance trade, and economic growth. The result is an unparalleled demonstration that, unlike just a generation ago, it is possible today to study the ancient Greek economy as an economy and not merely as a secondary aspect of social or political history. This is essential reading for students, historians of antiquity, and economic historians of all periods.
Cross National Comparison of Parental Choice of Two Way Bilingual Education in the United States and Israel
Venue: Comparative Education Review
Year: 2019

This article presents a comparative analysis of a metasynthesis of Israeli and US studies on parental choice of two way bilingual education. My analysis reveals that the reasons majority language and minority language parents expressed in the US and Israeli studies converge in some aspects but, significantly, also diverge. I argue that the divergences problematize the sociopsychological motivational model that dominates the analysis of parental choice of bilingual schools and lack of engagement with the general sociological literature on parental choice and lack of international comparison of school choice. I address these gaps, drawing on two sociological insights to understand parental choice of bilingual education: sociohistorical and political dynamics of the educational fields in which the choices are made and a Bourdieusian culturalist understanding of parental choice. These two perspectives can account for the potential for divergence across locales and cultures and have implications for policy makers in parental choice and bilingual education.
Domain adaptation for object recognition: An unsupervised approach
Venue: 2011 International Conference on Computer Vision
Year: 2011

Adapting the classifier trained on a source domain to recognize instances from a new target domain is an important problem that is receiving recent attention. In this paper, we present one of the first studies on unsupervised domain adaptation in the context of object recognition, where we have labeled data only from the source domain (and therefore do not have correspondences between object categories across domains) Motivated by incremental learning, we create intermediate representations of data between the two domains by viewing the generative subspaces (of same dimension) created from these domains as points on the Grassmann manifold, and sampling points along the geodesic between them to obtain subspaces that provide a meaningful description of the underlying domain shift. We then obtain the projections of labeled source domain data onto these subspaces, from which a discriminative classifier is learnt to classify projected data from the target domain. We discuss extensions of our approach for semi supervised adaptation, and for cases with multiple source and target domains, and report competitive results on standard datasets.
Concept Development of the Eindhoven Diabetes Education Simulator Project.
Venue: Games for health journal
Year: 2016

This study was designed to define the concept of an educational diabetes game following a user centered design approach.  The concept development of the Eindhoven Diabetes Education Simulator (E DES) project can be divided in two phases: concept generation and concept evaluation. Four concepts were designed by the multidisciplinary development team based on the outcomes of user interviews. Four other concepts resulted from the Diabetes Game Jam. Several users and experts evaluated the concepts. These user evaluations and a feasibility analysis served as input for an overall evaluation and discussion by the development team resulting in the final concept choice.  The four concepts of the development team are a digital board game, a quiz platform, a lifestyle simulator, and a puzzle game. The Diabetes Game Jam resulted in another digital board game, two mobile swipe games, and a fairy tale themed adventure game. The combined user evaluations and feasibility analysis ranked the quiz platform and the digital board game equally high. Each of these games fits one specific subgroup of users best: the quiz platform best fits an eager to learn, more individualistic patient, whereas the board game best fits a less eager to learn, family oriented patient. The choice for a specific concept is therefore highly dependent on the choice of our specific target audience.  The user centered design approach with multiple evaluations has enabled us to choose the most promising concept from eight different options. A digital board game is chosen for further development because the target audience for E DES is the less motivated, family oriented patients.

Target shareholders' wealth creation in domestic and cross border acquisitions in India
Year: 2011

This paper seeks to compare target shareholders' wealth gains in domestic and cross border acquisitions in India. Two existing schools of thought namely, the industrial organizational theory and bid specific factors theory have been compared to identify which of these two theories affect the target shareholders' announcement wealth gains in India. Standard event study methodology has been applied to compute the announcement returns for domestic and cross border acquisitions. Cross border effect is calculated to compare the value creation in the two sets of acquisitions. Furthermore, cross sectional regression analysis is conducted to capture the impact of bid related features on target shareholder's value creation. The results indicate that both domestic and cross border acquisitions have created value for the target company shareholders on the announcement. Nonetheless, the analysis of cross border effect as well as regression analysis makes it evident tha.
Marine spatial planning in areas beyond national jurisdiction
Year: 2019

Pressure on marine areas beyond national jurisdiction (ABNJ) has increased significantly in recent decades, prompting the international community to begin formal negotiations for a legally binding agreement on the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity in these areas. The current international legal framework does not provide for the creation of holistic and cross sectoral area based management tools (ABMTs) in ABNJ. The forthcoming negotiations will consider how to fill this gap. Marine spatial planning (MSP) is one ABMT that could be covered in a new agreement, alongside marine protected areas (MPAs) and other measures. This article introduces the current framework for MSP in ABNJ, provides discussion of selected ongoing initiatives, and proposes some avenues for inclusion of MSP in a new agreement, including general provisions, institutional implications, and possible models for an international MSP process.

Reengineering the Discharge Transition Process of COVID 19 Patients Using Telemedicine, Remote Patient Monitoring, and Around the Clock Remote Patient Monitoring from the Emergency Department and Inpatient Units.
Venue: Telemedicine journal and e health the official journal of the American Telemedicine Association
Year: 2020

At the beginning of the COVID 19 pandemic, New York City quickly became the epicenter with hospitals at full capacity needing to care for patients. At New York Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital, we needed to develop an innovative system of how to safely discharge the massive influx of patients. Inundation of patient care with limited manpower and resources forced us to align with a third party vendor, around the clock alert, to make remote patient monitoring (RPM) possible. Each patient was prescribed a pulse oximeter and nurses were assigned to monitor vital signs, speak to patients, and escalate to physicians if required.  We enrolled 50 patients, of whom 13 were escalated resulting in 3 emergency room visits and 1 readmission. We had a high compliance rate with high patient satisfaction in postsurveys.  Our program was unique in that it utilized telemedicine for regular patient follow up, along with RPM through a third party vendor. Patients were able to be safely discharged home with close follow up through regularly obtained vitals with access to a 24/7 hotline for any emergencies, possibly preventing readmissions. Limitations include a small sample size population.  Our experience shows that in a short period despite lack of resources, telehealth and RPM's concurrent use with a third party vendor could be successfully utilized for safe discharges with high patient satisfaction.
