Context-aware diabetic patient remote monitoring using wearable and mobile App / Mohd Izzat Ismail Hashim
Full text linkThe rise of busy lifestyle has made it difficult for caregivers to effectively remote monitor diabetic patients when they are away from them. With recent advancement of smartphone and wearable technology, it would improve the adoption of mobile healthcare. Previous studies have shown that context-aware techniques have been widely used in healthcare application. This paper introduces a context-aware android mobile application, titled LoveHealth, with smartwatch integration that would be use by diabetic patients and caregivers. The goal of this mobile application is to provide a tool for caregivers to remote monitor diabetic patients, even when they are not nearby. Context-aware algorithm is applied in this application, where a criticality reading threshold is defined, classifying the readings criticality levels. By applying this algorithm, LoveHealth is able to detect critical glucose reading, which are inputted by the patients manually, or heartrate readings captured from the patients' smartwatch, and notifies their respective caregivers, informing them that they require medical attention. Once the app has been developed, testing is done to ensure each functionality works as expected. Also, the app undergoes one-week evaluation period by real diabetic patients to get their feedback and recommendations regarding the app
Heavy gaming: is your brain at risk of permanent damage? / Yusandra Md Yusoff and Emmy Nurashikin Ismail Hashim
Full text linkPlaying video games too much can be bad for your mental health.” Gaming is undoubtedly an exciting experience. It is easy to lose track of time while immersed in intense combat or exploring new worlds. However, while gaming can provide a delightful escape, excessive gaming can have harmful effects that are often overlooked. Let us explore the dangers of excessive gaming in more detail, particularly when it develops into Internet Gaming Disorder or IGD. Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD): What is it? Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD) is far more than just a term for excessive gaming. In this condition, gaming dominates your life, pushing aside social connections, meals, and even sleep. Individuals with IGD often play for prolonged periods—even days—without adequate sleep. Over-gaming has led to dire consequences, with 24 reported fatalities worldwide [1]
Identifying and keeping your peace when dealing with narcissistic friends in university / Yusandra Md Yusoff and Emmy Nurashikin Ismail Hashim
Full text link“Choose those who lift you up, not those who bring you down.” When you first enrol in university, you encounter countless new people, places, and opportunities to form friendships. While some friendships will endure a lifetime, others may fade after just a semester or two. Additionally, you could occasionally run into individuals who initially seem entertaining and attractive but gradually show a selfish side that drains you. Yes, narcissistic friends are the subject of what we are discussing. A Narcissistic Friend: What Is It? Initially, narcissistic friends can be challenging to identify. You may be captivated by their charisma, confidence, and intriguing stories. But as time goes on, you will notice trends: they are attention-seekers, rarely care about your feelings, and frequently divert every conversation back to themselves, ignoring your achievements and departing from your worries
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
