Generational Differences in Work Ethic: Fact or Fiction?
Year: 2017

Even though stereotypes suggest that older generational cohorts (e.g. Baby Boomers) endorse higher levels of work ethic than younger generations (e.g. Millennials) both the academic literature and popular press have found mixed evidence as to whether or not generational differences actually exist. To examine whether generational differences exist in work ethic, a dataset was compiled (k 105) of all published studies that provided an average sample age and average work ethic score, with each sample becoming an observation, and being assigned a generational cohort based upon the average age of the sample. Three hierarchical multiple regressions found no effect of generational cohort on work ethic endorsement. In two of the three phases, results found a main effect of sample type, such that industry samples had higher work ethic endorsement than student samples. Implications for applied practitioners and future research streams for generational and work ethic research are discussed.
The effects of exposure to natural light in the workplace on the health and productivity of office workers: a systematic review protocol
Venue: JBI library of systematic reviews
Year: 2010

Review question/objective The objectives of this review are to examine studies that evaluate offices with windows to the external environment which permit the entry of natural light on the health and productivity of the workers as monitored by output, staff turnover, sickness and absence from work and measures of their health status. The specific question to be answered: Do office workers with exposure to daylight experience better general health? Do office workers with exposure to daylight demonstrate a higher productivity of work output?  Types of participants This review will consider studies that include adults who work in an office environment. It is anticipated that all study participants will be over 18 years of age and regularly working in an office or office like environment. Studies considering effects on night shift office workers will be included with outcomes considered separately from day time office workers. Studies that consider regular part time or full time workers will be included in the review. This review will consider studies including males and females regardless of any pre existing medical conditions. However, participants with pre existing medical conditions will be examined in a sub group analysis. Types of intervention For the purpose of this the office environment is considered to be an administrative work place as opposed to a factory, school or retail facility. Office workers within other facilities may be included, however this population must be able to be considered discretely. The review will consider studies that evaluate office space with windows, skylights, atria or any facility allowing exposure to daylight from the external environment with our without a nature view compared to office space without facility to allow exposure to daylight and having lighting provided exclusively by electric light sources.

Household food insecurity is associated with low dietary diversity among pregnant and lactating women in rural Malawi
Venue: Public Health Nutrition
Year: 2018

To examine the association between household food insecurity and dietary diversity in the past 24h (dietary diversity score (DDS, range: 0 9) minimum dietary diversity (MDD, consumption of three or more food groups) consumption of nine separate food groups) among pregnant and lactating women in rural Malawi.   Two rural districts in Central Malawi. Subjects Pregnant (n 589) and lactating (n 641) women.  Of surveyed pregnant and lactating women, 66*7 and 68*6 respectively, experienced moderate or severe food insecurity and only 32*4 and 28*1 respectively, met MDD. Compared with food secure pregnant women, those who reported severe food insecurity had a 0*36 lower DDS (P<0*05) and more than threefold higher risk (OR; 95 CI) of not consuming meat/fish (3*19; CI 1*68, 6*03) The risk of not consuming eggs (3*77; 1*04, 13*7) was higher among moderately food insecure pregnant women. Compared with food secure lactating women, those who reported mild, moderate and severe food insecurity showed a 0*36, 0*44 and 0*62 lower DDS, respectively (all P<0*05) The risk of not achieving MDD was higher among moderately (1*95; 1*06, 3*59) and severely (2*82; 1*53, 5*22) food insecure lactating women. The risk of not consuming meat/fish and eggs increased in a dose response manner among lactating women experiencing mild (1*75; 1*01, 3*03 and 2*81; 1*09, 7*25) moderate (2*66; 1*47, 4*82 and 3*75; 1*40, 10*0) and severe (5*33; 2*63, 10*8 and 3*47; 1*19, 10*1) food insecurity.  Addressing food insecurity during and after pregnancy needs to be considered when designing nutrition programmes aiming to increase dietary diversity in rural Malawi.

AUTOMATED TREE AND BUILDING DETECTION IN RESIDENTIAL AREAS FROM STEREO IKONOS IMAGES
Year: 2006

Stereoscopic analysis of target images is the primary and conventional method for photogrammetric 3D range data construction. For object detection in high resolution satellite images, it is advantageous if the processing method can exploit a stereo derived DEM so that the technique can be applied anywhere in the world. Central to this is the need for a very reliable stereo matching algorithm and an improved camera model to perform such an analysis. Object detection using a stereo DEM is described in this article, including optical image processing and data fusion techniques and how these were applied to the IKONOS image. Results are here presented for stereo IKONOS images over several residential areas which are occupied by dense woodland and small housing building unis at a rural location called Barton Bendish in central England. Derived bare earth DTMs from DEM show 3m rms height difference compared with OS(r) PANORAMA. Also, a quality assessment by visual inspection of object detection results shows reasonable accuracy. The tree detection process gives a higher detection ratio than 85% consistently and the building detection process attains up to a 80% detection ratio even with relatively small scale targets.
Adopting results based management in the non profit sector: Trocaire's experience

Aleatoric uncertainty estimation with test time augmentation for medical image segmentation with convolutional neural networks
Venue: Neurocomputing
Year: 2019

Despite the state of the art performance for medical image segmentation, deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have rarely provided uncertainty estimations regarding their segmentation outputs, e.g. model (epistemic) and image based (aleatoric) uncertainties. In this work, we analyze these different types of uncertainties for CNN based 2D and 3D medical image segmentation tasks at both pixel level and structure level. We additionally propose a test time augmentation based aleatoric uncertainty to analyze the effect of different transformations of the input image on the segmentation output. Test time augmentation has been previously used to improve segmentation accuracy, yet not been formulated in a consistent mathematical framework. Hence, we also propose a theoretical formulation of test time augmentation, where a distribution of the prediction is estimated by Monte Carlo simulation with prior distributions of parameters in an image acquisition model that involves image transformations and noise. We compare and combine our proposed aleatoric uncertainty with model uncertainty. Experiments with segmentation of fetal brains and brain tumors from 2D and 3D Magnetic Resonance Images (MRI) showed that 1) the test time augmentation based aleatoric uncertainty provides a better uncertainty estimation than calculating the test time dropout based model uncertainty alone and helps to reduce overconfident incorrect predictions, and 2) our test time augmentation outperforms a single prediction baseline and dropout based multiple predictions.
Nonlinear vibration analysis of bladed disks with dry friction dampers
Year: 2006

In this work, a new model is proposed for the vibration analysis of turbine blades with dry friction dampers. The aim of the study is to develop a multiblade model that is accurate and yet easy to be analyzed so that it can be used efficiently in the design of friction dampers. The suggested nonlinear model for a bladed disk assembly includes all the blades with blade to blade and/or blade to cover plate dry friction dampers. An important feature of the model is that both macro slip and micro slip models are used in representing dry friction dampers. The model is simple to be analyzed as it is the case in macro slip model, and yet it includes the features of more realistic micro slip model. The nonlinear multidegree of freedom (mdof) model of bladed disk system is analyzed in frequency domain by applying a quasi linearization technique, which transforms the nonlinear differential equations into a set of nonlinear algebraic equations. The solution method employed reduces the computational effort drastically compared to time solution methods for nonlinear systems, which makes it possible to obtain a more realistic model by the inclusion of all blades around the disk, disk itself and all friction dampers since in general system parameters are not identical throughout the geometry. The validation of the method is demonstrated by comparing the results obtained in this study with those given in literature and also with results obtained by time domain analysis. In the case studies presented the effect of friction damper parameters on vibration characteristics of tuned and mistuned bladed disk systems is studied by using a 20 blade system. It is shown that the method presented can be used to find the optimum friction damper values in a bladed disk assembly.
Multimode stage light
Year: 2015

The lighting system is an important issue in creating very attractive lighting, which requires creativity and affecting the movement of light and program description. Nowadays, theater and film as well as social gatherings in dire need of a variety of lighting systems, and in addition, the operation of the lighting system require someone skilled to manage the procedure of lighting up the installation. Today, many lighting systems require full human control and monitor the operations manually. Accordingly, the project Multimode Stage Light is designed with an automated system to perform the movement and the way the lighting is programmed by selecting. This system involves the use of a microcontroller to control the movement and lighting is programmed by few of selectable choices. In addition, the way the lighting will be followed by the movement of a robotic arm that will create a complex and interesting movement. At the end of the production of this project, Multimode Stage Light can reduce human labor and ease of use for users to organize their needs according to the pattern that has been programmed automatically.
Ethnobotanical Aspects of Cannabis in Southeast Asia
Year: 2016

Cannabis indica, originating in central Asia, was probably introduced into Southeast Asia about the sixteenth century. The vernacular name used throughout Southeast Asia is derived from the Sanskrit ganja. Cultivation of the plant is on a family basis, several roots planted around the house. Ganja is openly sold in the markets. The female plants are smoked, together with tobacco. The occasional cases of intoxication are remedied by decoctions of native plants. Ganja leaves and stalks are used extensively in the cuisine, to provide both an euphoric quality and agreeable flavor. Recognized as an analgesic, cannabis is used to combat, among other conditions, cholera, malaria, dysentery, anorexia, and loss of memory; it relieves asthma and calms the nerves; suppresses polyps, coughing, dizziness and convulsions; facilitates digestion and childbirth; it stimulates lactation, purifies the blood and clears the bile, regulates the function of the heart, liver and lungs; eliminates intestinal parasites, decongests the organism and is a treatment for paralysis. Cannabis is considered a source of social well being to be shared with friends and is also used to ease difficult work tasks. Data are presented principally from Cambodia with some observations about Thailand, Laos and Vietnam. There are marked similarities in the use of cannabis in these countries. I wish to acknowledge the assitance of Mlle Uraisi Varasarin and M. Pierre Marie Gagneux in carrying out this study.
Pharmacology and management of the vitamin K antagonists: American College of Chest Physicians Evidence Based Clinical Practice Guidelines (8th Edition)
Venue: Chest
Year: 2008

This article concerning the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) is part of the American College of Chest Physicians Evidence Based Clinical Practice Guidelines (8th Edition) It describes the antithrombotic effect of the VKAs, the monitoring of anticoagulation intensity, and the clinical applications of VKA therapy and provides specific management recommendations. Grade 1 recommendations are strong and indicate that the benefits do or do not outweigh the risks, burdens, and costs. Grade 2 recommendations suggest that the individual patient's values may lead to different choices. (For a full understanding of the grading, see the "Grades of Recommendation" chapter by Guyatt et al, CHEST 2008; 133:123S 131S. Among the key recommendations in this article are the following: for dosing of VKAs, we recommend the initiation of oral anticoagulation therapy, with doses between 5 mg and 10 mg for the first 1 or 2 days for most individuals, with subsequent dosing based on the international normalized ratio (INR) response (Grade 1B) we suggest against pharmacogenetic based dosing until randomized data indicate that it is beneficial (Grade 2C) and in elderly and other patient subgroups who are debilitated or malnourished, we recommend a starting dose of or 5 mg (Grade 1C) The article also includes several specific recommendations for the management of patients with nontherapeutic INRs, with INRs above the therapeutic range, and with bleeding whether the INR is therapeutic or elevated. For the use of vitamin K to reverse a mildly elevated INR, we recommend oral rather than subcutaneous administration (Grade 1A) For patients with life threatening bleeding or intracranial hemorrhage, we recommend the use of prothrombin complex concentrates or recombinant factor VIIa to immediately reverse the INR (Grade 1C) For most patients who have a lupus inhibitor, we recommend a therapeutic target INR of 2.5 (range, 2.0 to 3.0) [Grade 1A] We recommend that physicians who manage oral anticoagulation therapy do so in a systematic and coordinated fashion, incorporating patient education, systematic INR testing, tracking, follow up, and good patient communication of results and dose adjustments [Grade 1B] In patients who are suitably selected and trained, patient self testing or patient self management of dosing are effective alternative treatment models that result in improved quality of anticoagulation management, with greater time in the therapeutic range and fewer adverse events. Patient self monitoring or self management, however, is a choice made by patients and physicians that depends on many factors. We suggest that such therapeutic management be implemented where suitable (Grade 2B)
Two Stage Robust Unit Commitment for Co Optimized Electricity Markets: An Adaptive Data Driven Approach for Scenario Based Uncertainty Sets
Venue: IEEE Transactions on Sustainable Energy
Year: 2020

Two stage robust unit commitment (RUC) models have been widely used for day ahead energy and reserve scheduling under high renewable integration. The current state of the art relies on budget constrained polyhedral uncertainty sets to control the conservativeness of the solutions. The associated lack of interpretability and parameter specification procedures, as well as the high computational burden exhibited by available exact solution techniques call for new approaches. In this paper, we use an alternative scenario based framework whereby uncertain renewable generation is characterized by a polyhedral uncertainty set relying on the direct specification of its vertexes. Moreover, we present a simple, yet efficient, adaptive data driven procedure to dynamically update the uncertainty set vertexes with observed daily renewable output profiles. Within this setting, the proposed data driven RUC ensures protection against the convex hull of realistic scenarios empirically capturing the complex and time varying intra day spatial and temporal interdependencies among renewable units. The resulting counterpart features advantageous properties from a computational perspective and can be effectively solved by the column and constraint generation algorithm until \epsilon$ global optimality. Out of sample experiments reveal that the proposed approach is capable of attaining efficient solutions in terms of cost and robustness while keeping the model tractable and scalable.
Unique Nonenzymatic Glucose Sensor Using a Hollow Shelled Triple Oxide Mn Cu Al Nanocomposite
Venue: ACS omega
Year: 2020

Glucose monitoring devices for diabetes mellitus, which is a worldwide significant health issue, have attracted attention of many researchers. Herein, we report a hollow Mn Cu Al oxide nanocomposite (HMCA) by a microwave assisted technique showing excellent sensing abilities toward glucose. Also, it possesses a superb supercapacitor activity described in our previous paper. The sensitivity value of the nanocomposite is 2.194 mA mM 1 cm 2 with a low detection limit of 0.43 mM (S/N 3) The high sensitivity and low detection limit were the results of the large surface area of the nanocomposite and the redox nature of CuO and MnO2. It shows a selective detection of glucose levels in blood serum. The hollow nanocomposite has been useful for monitoring the glucose level in blood serum and holds great potential for diabetes mellitus and clinical diagnosis.
Routine Assessment of Patient Reported Outcomes in Behavioral Health: Room for Improvement
Venue: Quality management in health care
Year: 2010

Outcomes assessment has become an important tool in assessing the quality of health care. To date, most quality initiatives have focused on adverse events, clinical processes, and/or cost variables. Considerably less attention has been paid to indices of clinical improvement, especially from a patient's perspective and in behavioral health settings. The relative inattention given to clinical improvement is attributable to a number of reasons, including (but not limited to) a lack of consensus regarding measures of improvement, few simple methods for data collection and analysis, and an inability to provide timely feedback. In this article, the authors describe a Web based system designed to routinely collect quality of life ratings from patients in outpatient behavioral health clinics, allowing for real time feedback at the patient levels regarding clinical improvement. The system also allows for administrative evaluation of overall clinic performance. The costs and benefits of this system are discussed.
Operational Planning of Inverter Control in a grid connected Microgrid with hybrid PV and BESS
Venue: 2020 IEEE International Conference on Environment and Electrical Engineering and 2020 IEEE Industrial and Commercial Power Systems Europe (EEEIC I&CPS Europe)
Year: 2020

Today, with the increase in electrical energy costs and the necessity to observe environmental issues, the development of solar energy can be observed. Currently, some urban and rural residential buildings use on grid or off grid Photovoltaic (PV) systems to supply electrical energy. The development of electrical industry technologies also leads to the capability of using Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESSs) in on grid hybrid homes. One of the major advantages of the hybrid homes with a BESS system is the capability of hybrid inverter planning for equilibrium control of power exchange between generation, consumption, and storage, and preventing the return of surplus energy to the distribution and load shift network. However, the load and energy management in hybrid homes is so difficult and depends on many parameters. The demand profile, duration of the PV system, and BESS are among the most important factors affecting the inverter behavior of hybrid homes. The main strategy of hybrid homes with BESS is an uninterruptible power supply with minimum power exchange from the distribution network. Therefore, the control and equilibrium of power between load, PV system, and BESS require accurate planning, for having a stable system load supply, in addition to providing the BESS restrictions. In this paper, using Matlab/Simulink software, a model of on grid hybrid buildings with the BESS is simulated.
