Design and Realization of a Wearable Necklace for the Assessment of Driver Well-being through Heart Rate and Blood Oxygen Saturation Monitoring
No full textThis paper presents the design and implementation of a wearable sensor necklace for monitoring the well-being of drivers, focusing on heart rate (HR) and blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) measurements. The proposed necklace allows HR and SpO2 monitoring into a compact and ergonomic design, enabling unobtrusive and continuous data collection during driving activities. The necklace’s design prioritizes user comfort and ease of wearing to facilitate prolonged usage without interfering with driving tasks. Collected physiological data can be wirelessly transmitted to a mobile application for real-time analysis and visualization. The HR and SpO2 data may provide information of the driver’s physiological state and potential stress levels. Particular attention has been dedicated to the firmware development in order to extract HR and SpO2 removing the motion artifacts that arise when the user moves the head. The design is validated by an experiment conducted in a simulated driving scenario, demonstrating the reliability of the wearable sensor necklace in capturing dynamic changes in HR and SpO2 levels associated with driving-induced stress
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
Wearable Sensor for Boxer Performance Improvement
No full textMeasuring punch force is crucial for assessing the performance and progress of boxers during training and matches. In this paper, we present a novel wearable sensor designed specifically to measure punch force in boxers. The sensor is a unique example of a measuring wearable device that can be easily integrated into commercial boxing gloves, making it suitable for both training and matches. The module is lightweight, compact, and fits into commercial gloves without compromising comfort or mobility. Moreover, the sensor incorporates wireless communication capabilities, enabling real-time monitoring of punch force data on a companion mobile application or a dedicated display unit, facilitating immediate feedback and analysis. We conducted tests with four amateur boxers, and we chose the boxers trying to cover a wide range of standard categories. The results demonstrate that the sensor reliably measures punch force across different boxing techniques such as straights and hooks, with accuracy in the order of 6 % of full scale. The presented wearable sensor represents a significant advancement in wearable sensor technology for boxing; its integration into commercial gloves allows for seamless adoption by boxers of all skill levels, enhancing training efficiency and promoting better performance during matches
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
