Interdependence in Malay Older People Who Live in the Institutions: An Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis
No full textAbstractThe aim of this study is to identify the benefit of interdependency in Malay older people who live in the institution. A qualitative approach has been used and in-depth semi-structured interview was conducted to three older people who lived in the institutions. The transcript obtained was analysed using the six stages of Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). One superordinate theme was emerged from that interview; life satisfaction. The superordinate theme was represented by two master themes that were “Alhamdulillah” (Contentment) and “Redha” (Acceptance). These themes facilitate the sense of the quality of life among older people in the institution
From apology to compensation: A multi-level taxonomy of trust reparation for highly automated virtual assistants
No full textThis paper presents a multi-level taxonomy of reparation levels specifically adapted to virtual assistants in the context of Human-Human-Interaction (HHI) with a specific focus on maintaining trust in the system. This taxonomy ranges from current models of apology to the newly integrated compensation area via a range of case studies specifically developed to address the rising concerns of unsupervised interactions in the context of Virtual Assistants (VA). Based on preliminary research, the author recommends the integration of reparation strategies as a fundamental variable in the ongoing development of VAs, as this element inserts a sense of balance in terms of vulnerability between users and developers to enhance trust in the interactive process. Present and future work is being dedicated to further understand how different contexts may affect integrity in highly automated virtual assistants

Optimal hop-by-hop flow control in computer communication networks with multiple transmitters.
No full textWe consider a flow control problem that arises in the performance modelling of packet-switched communication networks. There are M 2 transmitting stations sending packets to a single receiver over a slotted time-multiplexed link. For each phase consisting of T consecutive slots, the receiver allocates the slots (T) among the M transmitters based on: (i) the arrival statistics at the transmitters, (ii) the history of previous allocations, and (iii) the one-step delayed information on the queue lengths of the transmitting stations. The objective is to determine policies that minimize an infinite planning horizon cost due to holding packets at the M stations. We analyze the expected discounted cost problem by stochastic dynamic programming. For equal holding costs at the transmitters, we derive qualitative properties of optimal policies that reduce the optimization to the calculation of optimal allocations for T states, as optimal allocations for all the other states are determined explicitly. For M = 2, convexity and submodularity of the minimal total cost lead to further properties of optimal policies, one of which is monotonicity. For independent and identically distributed arrivals, we exhibit an optimal policy in explicit form. For non-identical holding costs, we derive analogous but weaker properties of optimal policies that reduce the complexity of the optimal flow control algorithm. We derive necessary and sufficient conditions on the arrival statistics that ensure the existence of finite cost time-average policies. Under these conditions, we exhibit a pure strategy that attains a finite average cost. This allows us to prove that: (i) there exists an optimal policy for each phase length T; (ii) an optimal policy can be obtained as a limit of infinite horizon optimal discounted policies as the discounting factor 1; and (iii) the properties of this optimal policy are the same as those derived for optimal discounted policies. Finally, we prove that in the absence of costs accrued by messages within the phase, there exists a policy such that the time-average cost tends toward zero as the phase length T .

The effects of ankle-foot orthoses on gait deviations associated with untreated developmental dysplasia of the hip during walking: case study
No full textDevelopmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is considered to be one of the most common orthopaedic disorders, referring to a range of conditions from mild to severe
dislocation of the hip joint. Knowledge of ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) use in patients with severe developmental dysplasia of the hip bone is crucial and may help improve the gait cycle during walking. The plantar pressure sensing mat and insole plantar sensor pad are ideal low cost alternatives to the force plate for capturing plantar centre pressure excursion during gait. Acquired centre of pressure (COP) traces are favoured by many medical clinicians and allied health professionals evaluating foot loading and body balance with respect to foot biomechanics, foot injury, foot deformation and foot ulceration. Researchers have recommended the use of COP traces for the study of the deformed foot and deformed lower limb to improve orthosis assessment and orthosis performance testing. Knowledge of the COP and plantar pressure characteristics such as peak pressure, contact pressure and pressure time integral during walking can help identify possible foot pathology, help determine the most effective foot orthosis, and allow for the appropriate calculation of balance control and joint kinetics and kinematics during gait.
However, there are unclear gait alterations in individuals with DDH which have clinical implications such as the investigation of AFOs and their effect on lower limb kinematics and kinetics, and their impact on the plantar pressure characteristics of the joints during walking and running. This research aimed to provide a better understanding of the gait characteristics of patients with severe DDH. The first set of objectives was to study and evaluate the kinematics and kinetics of the
ankle, knee and hip joints during walking in the sagittal plane for a patient aged 27 years (the author of this research) with severe dysplasia of the left hip, using two different types of ankle-foot orthosis (custom-made, and leaf-AFO). The data were collected using ten cameras and one force plate under four conditions: barefoot,
custom-made AFO, leaf AFO, and shoes only. The angles between every two segments were calculated using the Euler rotation sequence. An inverse dynamic approach was used to calculate sagittal joint moments and power. The results showed that the planter flexion angle reached its maximum during the time between the toes-off, the ground
phase and the initial swing phase with a mean difference of 21.1° and 14°, respectively.
Moreover, the results indicated that the fabricated orthosis decreased both the right and left extensor moments significantly during the load-bearing phase in comparison to barefoot by a mean difference of 0.29, and 0.43 Nm/kg respectively for both limbs. Results showed that the custom-orthosis had a higher moment during the late stance of the gait cycle compared to barefoot, with the data showing significant change by a mean difference of 0.1604 Nm/kg. However, the Leaf Spring AFO had little impact on the flexion moment during the late stance phase.
The second set of objectives of this study was to evaluate the effect of wearing the two ankle-foot orthosis on the plantar pressure distribution of specific foot regions for the patient with DDH. These objectives were achieved by developing a correlation technique between the COP trajectory and the lower limb trajectory during the three main phases of gait (heel strike, midstance and push off). The lower limb trajectory data were collected using a new close-range photogrammetry system that employed six HD video cameras to capture the lower limb trajectory. The COP trace and pressure data were collected using 3000E F-scan in-shoe sensors sampling at 100 Hz inserted inside the patient’s shoes. Six walking trials (ten steps per trial) were recorded
for each condition (barefoot, custom-made orthosis, and Leaf-AFO). The average of the three middle steps was taken out of the ten steps for each trial under each condition. The corresponding results showed that the highest values of the pressure time integral for the left foot barefoot condition were registered under the lateral heel (LH) 115.92±2.91 kPa.sec, medial heel (MH) 101.66±2.55 kPa.sec, first toe (T1) 73.79±1.85 kPa.sec, fourth and fifth toes (T45) 49.90±1.25 kPa.sec and second toe (T2) 42.94±1.08 kPa.sec.
The research concluded that the kinematics and kinetics of the ankle and hip joint were improved by the custom-made orthosis more than that of the Leaf AFO-Spring
Orthoses. The current work also concluded that both AFOs did not much change the kinematics of the knee joint however, there were some improvements in the moments and power generated. Finally, the researcher concluded that both orthoses enhanced body stability, minimized foot pain, and minimizing the risk of injury beneath specific foot regions. More investigations are required in the future, such as the investigation of the customized Knee-Ankle-Foot Orthosis (KAFOs) and increasing the number of samples
Conocarpus lancifolius Engl. (Combretaceae) photosynthetic apparatus suffers damage in heavy metal contaminated soil
No full textConocarpus lancifolius Engl. (Combretaceae), a heat tolerant plant, could be used for phytoremediation of polluted soil. We aimed to analyze the physiological changes in C. lancifolius exposed to single and mixed heavy metals (HMs), cadmium (Cd2+), nickel (Ni2+), and lead (Pb2+). Under controlled growth conditions, some groups of plants were exposed to a single HM at concentrations of 25 or 50 µM and other groups were exposed to 25 µM HM mixtures, for 30 days. Photosynthetic parameters such as electron transport rate, photosynthetic rate, chlorophyll fluorescence, chlorophyll content index, and photosynthetic pigments were measured. The chloroplast morphology was studied by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). In plants exposed to HM 25 µM, the photosynthetic parameters were unaffected, whereas at HM 50 µM, all parameters significantly decreased until 20 days of exposure followed by an increase until 30 days, indicating a slow adaptability of plants under HM stress. Compared to single HMs, mixed HMs were more toxic at the same concentration. All parameters indicated damage to the photosynthetic apparatus due to stress from mixed HMs at 25 µM and single HMs at 50 µM. TEM analyses showed a dispersion of grana in the chloroplast of the affected C. lancifolius plants.The accepted manuscript in pdf format is listed with the files at the bottom of this page.
