Stereotypical Motor Movement Detection in Dynamic Feature Space
No full textStereotypical Motor Movements (SMMs) are abnormal postural or motor behaviors that interfere with learning and social interaction in Autism Spectrum Disorder patients. An automatic SMM detection system, employing inertial sensing technology, provides a useful tool for real-time alert on the onset of these atypical behaviors, therefore facilitating personalized intervention therapies. To tackle critical issues with inter-subject variability, in this study, we propose to combine long short-term memory (LSTM) with convolutional neural network (CNN) to model the temporal patterns in the sequence of multi-axes IMU signals. Our results, on one simulated and two experimental datasets, show that transferring the raw feature space to a dynamic feature space via the proposed architecture enhances the performance of automatic SMM detection system especially for skewed training data. These findings facilitate the application of SMM detection system in real-time scenarios
A Pattern for combatant theosophy based on thought of Martyr Mostafa Chamran
No full textThe possibility of gathering theosophy and combat and reaching to wisdom Through social combat has been a controversial matter during centuries despite that the common image shows the ungathering of those. Many mystics and Sufis have lived in self-surrounded way and being banished from society. But some new samples have been created during post Islamic revolution that confront with Sufis and mystics; gather the theosophy and combat and reach to God through combating not through isolation or self-surrounding. Martyr Mostafa Chamran is one those. This study is to formulate the differences between theosophy and reviewing duty-oriented and combatant theosophy pattern based on thought of Mostafa Chamran via reviewing his documentary notion. In this formwork combatant theosophy is based on fighting, devotion confronts with theosophy based on isolation and self-surrounding. In this view, a mystic not only devotes him or herself as a result of attempting to realize God’s will and removing obstacles for that but also, conquers his/her lust by courage. So the mercy of God conquers his anger and the combat will be covered by full mercy and divine in a way that it causes to self-improvement and improving the society thus the combatants reach to the God
Alpha self-absorption evaluation in radiometric filter material for the natural range of alpha energy (5-9 MeV)
No full textIn this paper, SRIM (The Stopping and Range of Ions in Matter) software package is used to simulate the interaction of alpha particles into the material of radiometric analytical filters. The effect of alpha particle self-absorption in alpha radiometric filters measurements is estimated, especially in the range of natural alpha energy (5-9 MeV, Radon and Thoron alpha energy). Software package SRIM allows to calculate the parameters of the ions interaction with target material using a Monte Carlo simulation method based on a quantum mechanical treatment of ion-atom collisions. The effect of the radiometric analytical filter material on the transmitted efficiency of alpha energy is discussed. As the energy increases the self-absorption in analytical filter material is decreased but still has a clear effect. In this case, the filter material and the space distance between the filter and the detector window decrease the number of alpha particles which reach to the detector window. © 2019 RAD Association.

Status prawny młodzieżowych rad powiatów
No full textSocial participation, which has its origin in the Constitution of the Republic of Poland (civil society principle), should also be seen on the self-government level. On the county level, citizens’ activity can be strengthened by a youth county council. The article first discusses the history of these bodies as well as their current popularity and condition. The author also tries to create their definition and outline the establishment procedure. While pointing to the legal basis of the establishment acts, the author gives several reasons why youth county councils are not legal in the current circumstances. Youth county councils and youth municipal councils are compared on the basis of their activity. In the final part of the article, the author points out why those bodies should have a legal basis on the national level.Partycypacja społeczna, wynikająca z konstytucyjnej zasady społeczeństwa obywatelskiego, powinna mieć silne oddziaływanie w ramach samorządu terytorialnego. Na poziomie powiatu jedną z form aktywności obywateli może być młodzieżowa rada powiatu. W artykule zarysowano historię tych podmiotów oraz przedstawiono ich obecne rozpowszechnienie. Podjęto próbę stworzenia definicji tych rad oraz omówiono procedury ich powstania. Wskazując na podstawy prawne aktów powołujących, przestawiono wątpliwości co do możliwości ich istnienia w obecnym stanie prawnym. Porównano także aktywność tych podmiotów i młodzieżowych rad gmin, posiadających umocowanie ustawowe. Na podstawie oceny działalności młodzieżowych rad powiatów zaprezentowano również powody, które przemawiają zdaniem autora za koniecznością nowelizacji ustawy o samorządzie powiatowym
A Study of the Factors Related to Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Physical Fatigue and the Quality of Resuscitation
No full textEffective chest compression is an important factor playing a key role in the cardiac arrest patient survival. An understanding of the factors causing an early physical fatigue can help to improve the quality of CPR operations in hospitals. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the factors relevant to the onset time of physical fatigue and resuscitation quality during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) provision by Iranian nurses.
The present cross-sectional study was performed on 194 subjects selected based on a stratified random sampling procedure from different hospital wards. The participants were required to perform CPR operations on a manikin. As they were performing CPR, the time and the quality of compressions were measured by a chronometer and visual analogue fatigue scale, respectively. The rescuers themselves reported the onset time of physical fatigue.
Statistical analyses run on the collected data revealed that the majority of participants experienced extreme physical fatigue after a two-minute CPR operation. Moreover, about 71.2% of the participants managed to provide compressions over five centimeters deep. Finally, the physical fatigue experienced by the participants was meaningfully correlated with the body weight, sex, university degree, and work place of the participants (p < 0.05). Since the findings of the present study showed that various factors including the sex, weight, height, university degree, and the work place of the rescuer were significantly correlated with the onset time of physical fatigue experienced during CPR operation, it is recommended that male nurses with greater height and weight be employed in the rescue teams in ICU wards. Moreover, it seems mandatory for the nurses currently working in such teams in hospitals to improve their physical fitness through doing aerobics on a regular basis so that they may experience less fatigue during their CPR operations in future
