Machine Learning-Based Stress Detection Using Smartphones and Wearable Sensors
No full textStress and mental health have been considered increasing global concerns in modern society, including some of the illnesses responsible for a large proportion of comorbidities and deaths worldwide, such as depression and cardiovascular disease. Recently, smartphones, smartwatches, and smart wristbands have become an integral part of our lives and have reached widespread usage [1]. This raised the question of whether we can detect and prevent stress with smartphones and wearable sensors wirelessly. The challenge of such an approach is that the weak ECG signal is prone to errors, and the battery life of the smart devices is limited. In this project, we propose to explore the generalization capabilities of Electrocardiogram (ECG)-based deep learning models and models based on handcrafted ECG features, i.e., Heart Rate Variability (HRV) features. We will work with the students to train efficient HRV models and machine learning models that use ECG signals as input. And then apply machine learning approaches to the processed ECG data and classify their stress levels accordingly [2]. At the end of the project, we will develop a smartphone application to display, process, and analyze the collected real-time ECG signals and provide appropriate advice to the users. The project aims to create a computational model to analyze Machine Learning based Stress detection using smartphones and wearable sensors. To this end, the student will: (1) Create a computational model that calculates stress features through the ECG detection algorithms. The mentor will help the student gain a solid understanding of the model that has been developed, and code it in Matlab [4]. (2) Next, the student will implement an intelligent approach (machine learning) to the acquired ECG signals, in which the collected data will be comprehensively classified into stressed and non-stressed states [5]. (3) In the final stage, the student will use the results developed to build up a smartphone application, in which the patients\u27 stress data can be displayed, and analyzed, and future actions will also be accordingly suggested
AGED 539 Graduate Internship Report - Nipomo High School
No full textThis report documents the implementation and outcomes of a comprehensive agricultural education program at Nipomo High School, aligning with California Career Technical Education (CTE) standards. The project focuses on enhancing student engagement through curriculum development, leadership activities, Supervised Agricultural Experiences (SAEs), and career readiness initiatives. Key components include expanding pathway offerings in horticulture, mechanics, and agricultural sciences, integrating field experiences, and hosting guest speakers to connect students with industry professionals
‘Hot Girl Teaching’ in A Faith-Based Environment
Get PDFThere is much to learn from Megan Thee Stallion, the self-proclaimed “Hot Girl Coach.” However, her provocative lyrics and hyper-sexuality are challenging to interject into communication-themed classes at a predominantly white, faith-based university where many students come with an expectation for learning that resists mainstream trends and upholds conventional Christian values and conservative ideological ways of thinking about socio-political issues. This commentary offers a faith-based and feminist perspective about how including Black popular culture, and (more broadly) culturally diverse texts in predominately white, faith-based classrooms can work and why such centering does not contradict biblical principles
Prep, Cook, Eat! Cookbook
Get PDFAs a young adult, specifically a college student, finding the time, effort, and money to cook delicious and nutritious meals can be extremely difficult. The stereotypical young adult will gravitate to the frozen section of grocery stores simply because of how efficient they can be. However, eating solely frozen food is not satisfying or very healthy. Because young adulthood is the first time most are living on their own, it is also the first time they only have themselves to rely on for cooking meals. With little to no experience, it can be daunting to enter the kitchen and try to cook something as well as one might be used to while growing up at home. A great helper for learning how to cook is cookbooks, but there are few to almost none that are geared towards a younger audience. A cookbook with the intended audience being young adults could provide a product where there is a big gap in the market. According to the Education Data Initiative, the average cost of groceries for a college student ranges around 356 (Hanson, 2023). This $106 difference makes it extremely difficult to cook out of books that are created based on the average individual. A specific cookbook focused on that lower budget would be extremely beneficial to young adults who don’t have as much money to spend on groceries. Another issue with current eating habits of young adults creates issues with overweightness and obesity (Sogari, G., Velez-Argumedo, C., Gómez, M. I., & Mora, C, 2018). Designing a cookbook for them to use would enable them to cook rather than live off of frozen food. For this project, the first step is to compile the recipes and cook them. From there, photos will be taken and then edited within photoshop. Finally, these edited images can be taken into InDesign and incorporated into an aesthetic layout that would catch young audiences\u27 eyes. While the gap in the market is already present, the design of the cookbook will be the final touch that allows for the cookbook to thrive and ultimately be a successful project
