Research on Peng-hu Medical Team Participation in Community Infectious Disease Prevention Programs
No full textThe purpose of this study was to describe the reasons of Peng-hu medical team participation in infectious disease prevention program. The study discussed the awareness of importance for medical team engaged in disease prevention of community, and obstacles and intervention faced by medical team self-participation in community infectious disease prevention programs. At the end, it discussed cooperated relationships and the essential factors of public-private partnership and also provided conclusion and suggestion to perfect the abilities for medical team self-participation in community infectious disease prevention programs and to have positive functions.
The purposes of this study are as follows: (1)to discuss the awareness of importance and advantages and disadvantages of medical team self-participation in community infectious disease prevention programs (2)to know the obstacles of Peng-hu medical team participation in community infectious disease prevention programs. (3)to study the cooperative relationship and essential factors of public-private partnership participation in community infectious disease prevention programs. (4)to conclude the related factors of medical team participation in community infectious disease prevention programs and to compare with the strategies for motivating community infectious disease prevention programs.
This study adopted a quality perspective and in-depth interviews. In the research we use the purposive sampling which aims at medical clinic, institute of pharmacy, leaders of medical team member, directors of public healthy center and the head nurses. Besides, we also visited and asked delegates, town or city mayors, principals of school, director generals of community development association and chiefs of village for their advises on medial team who participated in community infectious disease prevention programs in Peng-hu.
The conclusions are as follows: (1) it is important for medical team member to participate in community infectious disease prevention programs, because they have professional knowledge and they are at the cutting edge of disease prevention; public healthy center also has to take the responsibility for such program. However, the medical team is usually more utilitarian, so it is necessary to focus on their medical ethic program. (2) The largest benefit for the participation process is that medical team can learn from each other. (3) The obstacles for medical team to participate in infectious disease prevention programs are insufficient manpower, lack of protective equipment, and insufficient finances; therefore, they need help for these three aspects as well. (4) When medical team member promote community infectious disease prevention programs, patients who refuse to go to hospital and cover their condition will be the big obstruction for the program. (5) The understanding of infectious disease and the threat to health are both main factors to affect clinic in participating disease prevention. For public healthy center, the problems are unclear guidelines and political interventions for entire disease prevention. (6) The cross-professional corporation team has to be established and be conducted and integrated by public sector before reaching the goal of disease prevention program.
According to the results given above, we suggest that supervisor of healthy care needs to direct and integrate all medical team member and other relevant sectors to organize a corporative team for disease prevention. The information of infectious disease should be announced widely and update frequently. Disease prevention program should be made compulsory in education and medical ethics should be emphasized. Moreover, Organizations without real functioning should be considered abolished for releasing more manpower in the programs
The application of cluster analysis in geophysical data interpretation
No full textA clustering algorithm which is based on density and adaptive density-reachable is developed and presented for arbitrary data point distributions in some real world applications, especially in geophysical data interpretation. Through comparisons of the new algorithm and other algorithms, it is shown that the new algorithm can reduce the dependency of domain knowledge and the sensitivity of abnormal data points, that it can improve the effectiveness of clustering results in which data are distributed in different shapes and different density, and that it can get a better clustering efficiency. The application of the new clustering algorithm demonstrates that data mining techniques can be used in geophysical data interpretation and can get meaningful and useful results, and that the new clustering algorithm can be used in other real world applications.Science Foundation Irelan
Covariance matrix-based fire and flame detection method in video
Get PDFThis paper proposes a video-based fire detection
system which uses color, spatial and temporal information.
The system divides the video into spatio-temporal blocks and
uses covariance-based features extracted from these blocks
to detect fire. Feature vectors take advantage of both the spatial and the temporal characteristics of flame-colored regions. The extracted features are trained and tested using a support vector machine (SVM) classifier. The system does not use a background subtraction method to segment moving regions and can be used, to some extent, with non-stationary cameras. The computationally efficient method can process 320×240 video frames at around 20 frames per second in an ordinary PC with a dual core 2.2 GHz processor. In addition, it is shown to outperform a previous method in terms of detection performance
