Professionalism, golf coaching and a master of science degree
No full textA distinction can be made between 'professionalisation', which is concerned with occupational status and standing, and 'professionalism,' which refers to matters of quality and standards of practice (especially specialized knowledge, ethics and altruism). The purpose of this stimulus article is to present key features of contemporary medical professionalism as a basis for critically reflecting on discourse associated with Tiger Woods' current coach, Sean Foley. It is suggested that that provision of a Master of Science degree in golf teaching/coaching would facilitate the development of 'professionalism' in golf coaches

MambaFoley: Foley Sound Generation using Selective State-Space Models
No full textRecent advancements in deep learning have led to widespread use of techniques for audio content generation, notably employing Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models (DDPM) across various tasks. Among these, Foley Sound Synthesis is of particular interest for its role in applications for the creation of multimedia content. Given the temporal-dependent nature of sound, it is crucial to design generative models that can effectively handle the sequential modeling of audio samples. Selective State-Space Models (SSMs) have recently been proposed as a valid alternative to previously proposed techniques, demonstrating competitive performance with lower computational complexity. In this paper, we introduce MambaFoley, a diffusion-based model that, to the best of our knowledge, is the first to leverage the recently proposed SSM known as Mamba for the Foley sound generation task. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method, we compare it with a state-of-the-art Foley sound generative model using both objective and subjective analyses
Algoritmo generador de foley mono a partir de texto
No full textEn el presente trabajo de grado, se pretende exponer el proceso llevado a cabo para desarrollar un algoritmo generador de Foley mono a partir de texto, con el uso de algoritmos pertenecientes al deep learning. Se hace entonces uso del algoritmo WCGAN-GP , inicialmente estableciendo un set de datos de entrenamiento, en el cual se encuentran audios Foley grabados en la universidad de San Buenaventura Sede Bogotá. Posterior a la obtención del set de datos, se desarrolla y entrena el algoritmo con la finalidad de generar audios Foley mono de dos categorías, cada una con tres variaciones y someterlos a un proceso de escucha, del cual se obtiene una prueba subjetiva realizada a estudiantes de Ingeniería De Sonido de la universidad. Se puede determinar finalmente que el funcionamiento del algoritmo durante la etapa de entrenamiento fue el esperado y adicionalmente, que conforme aumenta la frecuencia de muestreo de los datos utilizados para la etapa de entrenamiento, los audios generados obtenían una mejor puntuación subjetiva debido a su similitud con las categorías de referencia.In the present work of degree, it is intended to expose the process carried out to develop a mono Foley generator algorithm from text, with the use of algorithms belonging to deep learning. The WCGAN-GP algorithm is then used, initially establishing a training data set, in which Foley audios recorded at the University of San Buenaventura of Bogotá are found. After obtaining the data set, the algorithm is developed and trained in order to generate Foley mono audios of two categories, each with three variations and submit them to a listening test process, from which a subjective test is obtained from students of Sound Engineering at the university. It can be finally determined that the performance of the algorithm during the training stage was as expected and additionally, that as the sample rate of the data used for the training stage increases, the generated audios obtained a better subjective score due to their similarity with the reference categories.PregradoIngeniero de Sonid
Use of Foley catheter in control of internal carotid hemorrhage during endoscopic endonasal surgery
No full textInternal carotid artery (ICA) injuries during endoscopic endonasal surgery (EES) are rare life-threatening events. We describe a technique to manage ICA injuries based on the use of Foley catheters.A 26-year-old female underwent endoscopic transnasal trans-sphenoidal removal of pituitary adenoma. Cerebrospinal fluid leak occurred 4 days postoperatively. During repair procedure, accidental injury of ICA occurred. Emergency nasal packing through positioning of four Foley urologic catheters was successfully performed to stop bleeding. The patient did not report neurologic deficits.In author's opinion, Foley catheters are suitable to obtain immediate bleeding control since they are rapidly available and easily usable
