A Service-oriented and Cross Platform Health Promotion Information System
No full text在台灣,由於過重的人口比例日漸增長,並且有越來越年輕化的趨勢,肥胖儼 然已逐漸成為一個嚴重的公共健康問題。為協助正在進行飲食控制、體重控制亦或 是一般希望維持健康狀態的使用者達到健康促進,此研究中,我們發展了一套資訊 化的健康促進系統--臺大智慧健康照護系統。系統的架構設計主要是利用模組-界 面-控制項的模式進行設計。這套系統目前已經成功的運用於一間公司中。 在新的系統架構設計中,整合並集中了系統內的模組物件,使存取資料庫、使 用者識別及驗證、臨床數值分析引擎的功能集中在單一的元件之中。在這樣的架構 下,可以確保系統的擴充性、系統內的資料一致性以及系統地跨平台能力。本研究 成功的將此架構導入臺大智慧健康照護系統的系統建置之中,並且運用在數種平 台上,包含智慧型手機、個人平板電腦及網站。在使用者訪問系統時,系統使用了 客製化的憑證進行使用者及訪問的辨識,擁有處理網路不穩定的環境的特性。此外, 系統中飲食資料庫的機制則是根據 Web 2.0 的概念進行設計,資料庫的內容也能 由使用者產出,有用的資料量能隨著使用量增加,進而回饋使用者,使得記錄更為 方便。系統上線至 2014 年 5 月 30 日已運行三個月。在這段期間��,相較於過去 該公司所使用的健康照護系統,使用者持續使用的比例提升 25%,而過重的使用 者在這三個月中,平均每月能減少 2Kg。飲食資料庫上線後的一個月則新增了 255 種食物。這樣的結果也顯示使用者願意使用此系統的意願上升,同時增加使用與關 注,有助於體重的控制。同時此架構也顯現了能快速複製出相同的服務的能力,並 擁有未來發展成雲端系統及後續擴充的潛能。Obesity has become an important health issue in Taiwan due to its increasing prevalence among population and the ages of patients are getting younger. In this research, we build a health promotion information system (HPIS), for people who were on diet and to control their weight, or others to keep in shape. The HPIS is designed based on model– view–controller (MVC) pattern with a proposed architecture framework and has been successfully implemented in a company. The architecture centralized the functions of accessing databases, user identification, and the validation of inherited clinical knowledge in a single component. Under this architecture, the system ensures its scalability, extensibility, data consistency, and the capability of cross-platform. This architecture has also been implemented in different devices and platforms, including iPhone, iPad and website. The architecture also supports unstable network environment, which uses Token as session identifier and user validation. Furthermore, a food database mechanism are also proposed in this research. Until May 30, 2014, the system has been launched for three months. Compared with the system that was previously used in a study, the HPIS has retained 25% more users, overweighting people lose approximately 2Kg a month in average. And the food database increases 255 kinds of foods in one month. These results show that the proposed system has the potential of increasing the willingness of users to use it, and through using the system, the health condition of users may receive better control. The proposed framework is also fully capable in extending the service to other companies in the future
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
