Edberg, Arvid, and Emil Ahlzén. "Aspects of modern health worries as predictors of development of anxiety and depression symptoms." Thesis, Umeå universitet, Institutionen för psykologi, 2018. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:umu:diva-147967.
Full textAbstract:
Worries about the negative health effects of modern life (Modern health worries, MHW) have increased during the last decades, but the phenomenon is not fully understood. The present study investigated the associative and predictive relationship between different types of MHW and symptoms of anxiety and depression in a large sample from Västerbotten county, Sweden (n=2223). The four subscales of the Modern Health Worries Scale (MHWS) were used to assess different types of MHW, while symptoms of depression and anxiety were assessed by using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. Spearman's correlation analysis and hierarchical multiple regression analysis were used to assess the degrees of association and prediction, respectively. It was shown that the subscales were associated with symptoms of both anxiety and depression to varying degrees, however MHW did not significantly predict symptoms of neither anxiety nor depression. This suggests that when using the MHWS in clinical settings, examining the subscales rather than the global score of MHWS provides a more nuanced understanding of an individual's experience. It also suggests that experiencing MHW does not cause an increase in neither anxiety nor depression.Oro kopplad till de negativa hälsoaspekterna av ett modernt liv (Modern hälsooro, MHO) har ökat under de senaste årtiondena, men fenomenet är inte helt klarlagt. Den här studien undersökte associativa och prediktiva samband mellan olika typer av modern hälsooro och symtom av ångesttillstånd samt depression i ett urval i Västerbottens län (n=2223). De fyra subskalorna av Modern Health Worries Scale (MHWS) användes för att undersöka de olika typerna av MHO medan Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale användes för att mäta symtom av ångesttillstånd och depression. Korrelationsanalyser baserat på Spearmans korrelationskoefficient samt hierarkiska, multipla regressionsanalyser användes för att mäta graden av association respektive prediktion. Resultatet visar att de olika subskalorna var associerade med symtom av både depression och ångesttillstånd i olika hög grad. Dock predicerade inte MHO en signifikant förändring av varken ångest- eller depressionssymtom. Detta tyder på att ett enskilt beaktande av subskalorna ger en mer nyanserad bild av en individs upplevelse av MHO jämfört med om endast totalpoängen på MHWS beaktas. Resultatet föreslår vidare att en upplevelse av MHO inte orsakar en ökning av varken ångest eller depressionssymtom.

The study presents evaluation of pig genetic markers (MHS and MC4R) associated with performance traits in the Lithuanian White pig breed. The study presents a direct approach the testing and explanation of the quantitative part of the trait and QTL with marker based on estimated breeding values in the Lithuanian White population. Information about the strategies for association analysis and improvement can be applied for further characterization of the Lithuanian White population. The use of breeding values instead of single measurements reduces the bias in the recorded performance traits, therefore, the results obtained by using the marker for the Lithuanian White population gives animal breeders the opportunities for realization of a short-term goal in their selection criteria.

Full textAbstract:
År 1961 startas utbildningen vid den nybildade Militärhögskolan. Bildandet av Militärhögskolan föregåsav utredningar som pekar på fördelarna med att kunna samordna de stabsutbildningar som tidigare harbedrivits utan samordning inom ramen för de olika försvarsgrenarna. I samband med detta lyftsstrategiutbildningen fram som ett ämne där stora samordningsvinster finns att hämta. I den utredningsom ligger till grund för bildandet av Militärhögskolan framgår att utredarna ser möjligheterna att genomsamordningen av strategiutbildningen ge officerarna en enhetlig syn på försvarsproblemen. I uppsatsenhar jag undersökt huruvida denna enhetliga syn på försvarsproblemen är styrd och påverkad av depolitiska beslutsfattarnas officiella uppfattning i dessa frågor eller om den enhetliga synen iförsvarsfrågorna baseras på andra uppfattningar. Jag har också haft som ambition att visa hurstrategiutbildningen bedrevs i fråga om vilka frågeställningar som diskuterades underundersökningsperioden. Uppsatsen har avgränsats till att omfatta tidsperioden mellan 1961 och 1972.Det ämne som jag i uppsatsen har fokuserat utredningen till är strategiutbildningen och de källor som ihuvudsak har använts är provhandlingar och rättningsmallar till strategiprov. Undersökningens resultatvisar att strategiutbildningen påverkades i relativt stor omfattning av de förändringar i politiken somskedde inom undersökningsperioden. Strategiundervisningen återspeglade också den förda politikengenom att aktualisera de frågor som politikerna fattat beslut om. Resultatet visar dock en störresamstämmighet mellan politik och utbildning fram till försvarsbeslutet 1968, än i den del som omfattarperioden efter 1968. Efter 1968 påverkades förvisso utbildningen i hög grad av de riktningsförändringari politiken som gjordes. Däremot återspeglades politiken i mindre utsträckning än tidigare i debakgrunder och scenarier som användes i undervisningen.In 1961 the training started at the newly founded Swedish Military College. Thefoundation of the military college was done after considerations published inseveral official reports. One of the reports stated that the training in strategy had alot to win by being coordinated between the different military arms. One of themotives that the report stated was that a common view of different defence issueswould be easier to attain in a coordinated training.In this essay I have examined if this so called common view is coherent with theofficial policy150 that is stated from the government. I have also examined if thetraining is influenced by the changes of direction in policies occurring. A secondaim with this essay is to give a broad picture of what assumptions and issues thatinfluenced the training at the time. The essays examination is delimited to the timebetween 1961 and 1972, and is based on the training in strategy. The examinationis based on a study of original manuscripts consisting of various tests carried outwithin the framework of the strategytraining 1961-1972.The result of the examination indicates that the training is highly influenced by theofficial policy at the time. The result also shows that the grade of influence ishigher prior 1968, at lest concerning the views of different threats that is used inthe training. At the same time the result shows that the training is influenced bythe policy after 1968 even though training is not based on official policy in thesame extension as earlier. The difference is first and foremost in the way threats isdescribed in the training.

O conhecimento organizacional, ou capital intelectual, é
hoje reconhecido
como o fator fundamental não só para o crescimento, como
para a própria
sobrevivência das organizações em ambientes dinâmicos,
turbulentos, incertos,
altamente inovadores e competitivos, como os do presente
contexto de
economias crescentemente globalizadas. A gestão do
conhecimento
organizacional (KM) apresenta-se, então, como uma das
condições necessárias
ao sucesso de estratégias competitivas, embora, por certo,
não suficiente, sendo
a demanda de conhecimento externo existente, por meio de
negócios de fusão e
aquisição (M&A), reconhecida como um dos processos
essenciais da gestão,
alternativamente a procedimentos inovadores em P&D, em
geral lentos e
onerosos. Todavia, pesquisas têm comprovado que,
mundialmente, apenas
cerca de 30% dos casos de M&A têm alcançado sucesso em
seus objetivos
estratégicos. Não obstante, esse tipo de negócio tem se
afigurado como
essencial à expansão de empresas de classe mundial, dada a
insuficiência do
mero crescimento orgânico, o que constitui um paradoxo.
Este estudo de caso
teve por objetivo descrever e explicar as causas do
fenômeno do insucesso no
desempenho da estratégia da empresa Xerox|MHW, combinada
em processo de
aquisição, tendo como componente essencial a gestão do
conhecimento. A
literatura examinada para a compreensão dos conceitos
básicos pertinentes
contemplou tópicos sobre padrões organizacionais;
estratégias de organizações;
conhecimento organizacional e sua gestão e resultados de
processos de fusão e
aquisição de empresas. A coleta de evidências, adotando
procedimentos de
triangulação, foi realizada a partir de documentos,
entrevistas e duas pesquisas,
visando, a segunda, validar os dados coletados
anteriormente. Com base no
modelo integrativo-sistêmico GI de MACEDO-SOARES (2000), a
realidade
revelada pela pesquisa mostrou-se contraditória
relativamente aos requisitos,
pressupostos e suposições implícitos na formulação
estratégica, resultando, daí,
a sua não-adequação ao desempenho da organização na busca
de seu objetivo
estratégico. A conclusão é que um processo de aquisição
está longe de ser algo trivial, sendo os problemas de não-
integração organizacional, principalmente
cultural, em casos de aquisição por escopo, em particular
envolvendo uma
grande empresa burocrática e uma pequena empresa de padrão
organizacional
flexível, os grandes responsáveis por esse elevado
percentual. Quanto ao
conhecimento organizacional, evidenciou-se que não basta a
uma organização
entendê-lo como um recurso essencial no contexto de
negócios atual. É
imprescindível a implementação de procedimentos e práticas
para a sua gestão,
não obstante constituir processo recente e complexo que
requer, até por isso
mesmo, efetivo apoio da alta administração das
organizações e o
desenvolvimento de uma cultura adequada à sua efetivação.Organizational knowledge, or intellectual capital, is nowadays recognized as a key factor not only for growth, but for survival of organizations in dynamic, disturbed, uncertain and highly innovative and competitive environments, such as the ones in the current scenario of rising global economies. Organizational knowledge management (KM) is introduced, therefore, as one of the necessary conditions for competitive strategies success. However, of course, it is not enough, and the need for external knowledge, through merger and acquisition (M&A), is recognized as an essential management process, an alternative for innovative P&D procedure, normally slow and burdensome. Anyway, researches have assured that, worldwide, only 30% of M&A cases have reached success in their business goals. Nevertheless, this kind of business have been considered essential for the expansion of worldwide companies, since mere organic growth is insufficient, which is a paradox. This case study aims to describe and explain the causes for the failure phenomena in Xerox|MHW company strategy performance, combined when Xerox acquired MHW, with knowledge management as its key component. The literature consulted to comprehend these basic concerning concepts encompasses topics about organizational models, strategies, knowledge management and results of company merger and acquisition processes. The gathering of evidences, adopting triangulation procedures, has been performed using documents, interviews and two surveys. The second survey aimed to validate the data collected previously. Based on MACEDO-SOARES (2000) GI systemic-integrative model, the reality revealed by the research is contradictory in relation to the requirements, presuppositions and suppositions implicit in the strategy conception, resulting, from this, its nonadjustment to the organization performance, trying to pursuit its strategic objective. The conclusion is that an acquisition process is far from being something trivial, and the problems of organizational non- adjustment - mainly cultural, in cases of scope acquisition, particularly involving a major bureaucratic company and a minor one with flexible organization model - are the responsible factors for this high percentage. About organizational knowledge, it is clear that understanding it as an essential resource in the current business scenario is not enough. It is crucial the implementation of practices and procedures to its management. However, building this new and complex process requires, because of it, solid support from high level management in the companies and the development of a proper culture, fitting its accomplishment.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis considers the properties of MHS equilibria formed through non-resistive MHD relaxation of analytical non-potential magnetic field models, which contain two null points connected by a generic separator. Four types of analytical magnetic fields are formulated, with different forms of current. The magnetic field model which has a uniform current directed along the separator, is used through the rest of this thesis to form MHS equilibria and to study reconnection. This magnetic field, which is not force-free, embedded in a high-beta plasma, relaxes non-resistively using a 3D MHD code. The relaxation causes the field about the separator to collapse leading to a twisted current layer forming along the separator. The MHS equilibrium current layer slowly becomes stronger, longer, wider and thinner with time. Its properties, and the properties of the plasma, are found to depend on the initial parameters of the magnetic field, which control the geometry of the magnetic configuration. Such a MHS equilibria is used in a high plasma-beta reconnection experiment. An anomalous resistivity ensures that only the central strong current in the separator current layer is dissipated. The reconnection occurs in two phases characterised by fast and slow reconnection, respectively. Waves, launched from the diffusion site, communicate the loss of force balance at the current layer and set up flows in the system. The energy transport in this system is dominated by Ohmic dissipation. Several methods are presented which allow a low plasma-beta value to be approached in the single-separator model. One method is chosen and this model is relaxed non-resistively to form a MHS equilibrium. A twisted current layer grows along the separator, containing stronger current than in the high plasma-beta experiments, and has a local enhancement in pressure inside it. The growth rate of this current layer is similar to that found in the high plasma-beta experiments, however, the current layer becomes thinner and narrower over time.

Recame, Michelle Ashley. "Exploring Women's Lived Experiences and Expectations with In-Patient Maternity Care within the U.S. Military Healthcare System." ScholarWorks, 2016. https://scholarworks.waldenu.edu/dissertations/2755.
Full textAbstract:
Satisfaction with in-patient maternity care within the Military Healthcare System (MHS) continues to score significantly below national benchmarks when compared to civilian hospitals and doctors. Lack of independent, qualitative research in this area has left the MHS with few answers as to why patients are satisfied, but still unhappy, with specific aspects of care. Discrepancy theory was used in conjunction with grounded theory as the foundation and framework for understanding the expectations and experiences of women who have given birth in the MHS within the past year. Using grounded theory and a hermeneutical approach to interview participants, qualitative data were collected to understand these women's expectations, experiences, and satisfaction. Participants were active duty dependents who had given birth within the last year at a local hospital and used TRICARE as their only insurance. They were recruited through the base's local community online network and 12 women total participated. Data were carefully analyzed using transcriptions and were subsequently grouped into common patterns, and then into themes. Findings revealed 3 key themes: (a) participants had one or more complaints or complications with their maternity care; (b) previous experiences on standard care were mostly negative, and (c) differences in satisfaction may be seen when a patient's personal experiences and beliefs about an occurrence are met or excused. This study contributes to social change by adding previously unexplored qualitative data to the military healthcare community in a population that had not been investigated in this manner and has the potential to increase understanding about the population, as well as how experiences, expectations, and satisfaction coexist.

Full textAbstract:
Byggnadsrelaterad ohälsa (BRO) är en av flera miljökänsligheter. De två konstrukten modern hälsooro (MHO) och somatosensorisk förstärkning (SSA) har båda visat sig kopplade till nocebo och de uppvisas ofta hos personer med miljökänsligheter. Det första syftet med uppsatsen var att öka förståelsen för vilka symtom som kännetecknar BRO, vilket undersöktes via 20 items utvalda från The Idiopathic Enviromental Intolerance Symtom Inventory (IEISI) vilka överensstämmer med WHOs lista över BRO-symtom. Det andra syftet var att öka kunskapen om vilken roll nocebo har i BRO, vilket undersöktes via Modern Health Worries (MHWS) och Somatosensory Amplification Scale (SSAS). Data inhämtades från en pågående studie vid Umeå Universitet. Urvalsgruppen utgjordes av 79 individer som uppgett att de upplevde BRO-symtom varje vecka. Data analyserades via korrelationsanalyser. Gruppen uppvisade variation i vilka och hur många symtom individerna rapporterade. Resultatet från korrelationsanalyserna visade sammantaget på att nocebo inte hade en betydande roll i rapporterandet av BRO-symtom i urvalsgruppen. Studien visade att gruppen med BROpatienter varken oroade sig mer än norm eller var särskilt känsliga för sensoriska intryck.Building Related Illness (BRI) is one of several environmental sensitivities. The two constructs Modern Health Worries (MHW) and Somatosensory Amplification (SSA) have both been shown to be linked to nocebo and are often reported by people with environmental sensitivities. The first purpose of this paper was to increase the understanding of symptoms that characterize BRI, which was investigated via 20 items selected from The Idiopathic Enviromental Intolerance Symptom Inventory (IEISI) that complies with WHO's list of BRI symptoms. The second purpose was to increase knowledge about the role of nocebo in BRI, which was investigated via Modern Health Worries Scale (MHWS) and Somatosensory Amplification Scale (SSAS). Data was obtained from an ongoing study at Umeå University. The sample consisted of 79 individuals who reported that they experienced BRI symptoms each week. Data was analyzed via correlation analyzes. The group showed variability concerning which and how many symptoms the individuals reported. The results from the correlation analyzes showed that nocebo did not play a significant role in the reporting of BRI symptoms in the selection group. The study showed that the group of BRI patients neither worry more than the norm nor was particularly sensitive to sensory impressions.

Full textAbstract:
L'emballage alimentaire est l'un des principaux acteurs de la préservation de la sécurité alimentaire et de la qualité au cours du stockage. Toutefois, de transferts de masse se produisent entre le l'emballage polymère et les denrées alimentaires. Polylactide (PLA) est un nouveau polymère biosourcé utilisé dans les applications d'emballage. Pour cela son interaction avec des denrées alimentaires a été étudiée dans des conditions réelles d'utilisation. Une méthodologie originale basée sur l'extraction multiple de l'espace de tête (MHE) et l'extraction multiple de l'espace de tête couplée à la microextraction sur phase solide (MHS-SPME) pour la mesure de sorption de composés organiques volatils (COVs) dans le PLA a été développé à des activités faibles et dans le domaine vitreux du polymère. Les COVs ayant une structure chimique modérément hydrophobe et des similarités de structure avec le PLA montrent une forte affinité pour le polymère. Plus surprenant, la forte sorption de composés aromatiques, notamment du benzaldéhyde, a été montrée. En mélange avec d'autres COVs le benzaldéhyde favorise leur sorption par un effet synergique. De plus, même à des activités faibles (0,01) et en présence de benzaldéhyde, la sorption de COVs induit une cristallisation du PLA. En contact avec un aliment aqueux, le PLA se montre résistant à l'hydrolyse et la sorption des matières grasses est faible, même en utilisant des conditions de stockage proches de sa transition vitreuse. L'apparition de COVs pendant le procédé de transformation a été étudiée par MHS-SPME. Des lactides, l'acétaldéhyde et le 2,3-pentanedione étaient détectés après extrusion et thermoformage. Les quantités des deux derniers composés diminuaient cependant pendant le procédé de thermoformage.

Full textAbstract:
La presente tesi affronta due tematiche differenti basandosi sulle radianze simulate dal codice di trasferimento radiativo RTTOV. Il primo studio ha lo scopo di comprendere la sensibilità nelle microonde dei radiometri satellitari MHS, ATMS, GMI e SSMIS in presenza di nubi di acqua liquida, ghiacciata e precipitazioni liquide e solide. In particolare, l’indagine è stata effettuata nelle bande spettrali con frequenze a 90, 150 GHz (o 157 o 166 a seconda del sensore) e nei canali del vapor d’acqua attorno alla frequenza di assorbimento a 183 GHz. Il metodo scelto è stato quello di attuare 4 diverse simulazioni per ogni strumento, ognuna delle quali eseguita azzerando il contributo di 3 idrometeore su 4. A questo punto, è stato esaminato l’andamento delle temperature di brillanza in funzione del contenuto colonnare dell’unica tipologia di idrometeora considerata.
Nella seconda parte, l’obiettivo ha riguardato lo sviluppo di due algoritmi prototipali, su terra e su mare, per ciascuno dei 4 sensori presi in esame, in grado di stimare l’acqua precipitabile totale da misure satellitari di radianza, in condizioni di cielo sereno. Per la fase di sviluppo, TPW (total precipitable water) inerenti a profili creati da WRF e BT (brightness temperature) simulate da RTTOV, nei canali tra 90 e 183 GHz, sono stati messi in relazione attraverso una regressione lineare multipla, così da determinare la migliore stima per i coefficienti.
In seguito si è passati alla validazione degli algoritmi su altri profili indipendenti. I test sono stati eseguiti su 4 diversi dataset, creati da WRF, inerenti a stagioni diverse: febbraio, giugno, agosto e ottobre. Anche in questo caso, le temperature di brillanza inserite negli algoritmi sono state ottenute da simulazioni di RTTOV, a cielo sereno.
Infine è stato applicato l’algoritmo di retrieval su dati satellitari di MHS, inerenti alla data di febbraio scelta per la validazione.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis consists of two studies designed to further validate the construct of modern homonegativity as measured by the Modern Homonegativity Scale (MHS). Similar to the concepts of modern racism and modern sexism, modern homonegativity rests upon three core assumptions: (1) gay men and lesbian women are making illegitimate (or unnecessary) demands for changes in the status quo; (2) discrimination against homosexual men and women is a thing of the past; and (3) gay men and lesbian women exaggerate the importance of their sexual preference and, in so doing, prevent themselves from assimilating into mainstream culture. The MHS was created to measure contemporary negative attitudes toward gay men and lesbian women (i.e., attitudes that are not based on traditional or moral objections to homosexuality). The scale contains two parallel forms: one for gay men (MHS-G) and one for lesbian women (MHS-L). Using Canadian participants (N = 374), results of Study 1 indicate that the parallel versions of the MHS are reliable, unidimensional, factorially, and conceptually distinct from a measure of old-fashioned homonegativity as measured by the Attitudes Toward Lesbian and Gay Men Scale and a relatively new measure of homonegativity entitled Modern Homophobia. As well, modern homonegativity correlated in the hypothesized direction with the motivation to control prejudiced reactions. Finally, results of one-way ANOVAs indicated that individuals who reported having gay men and lesbian women as acquaintances and close friends evidenced significantly lower levels of modern homonegativity than did individuals who reported no contact experience. Study 2 was designed to examine the psychometric properties of the MHS from a cross-cultural vantage. Specifically, the psychometric properties of the MHS were investigated using a sample of American participants (N = 608). Results of this study confirmed the unidimensionality of the MHS-G, and its conceptual distinctiveness from other measures of homonegativity (the ATLG and "Modern" Homophobia scales). Also, modern homonegativity correlated in the hypothesized direction with political conservatism, religious self-schema, neosexism, and concern about acting prejudiced. Similar to Study 1, results of one-way ANOVAs confirmed that individuals who reported having both gay men and lesbian women as acquaintances and close friends evidenced lower levels of modern homonegativity when compared with individuals who reported not having gay or lesbian acquaintances or close friends. Finally, the metric invariance of the MHS-G and MHS-L factor loadings were tested. With the exception of four items on the MHS-G, the metric invariance of the parallel versions of the MHS was confirmed. In summary, the studies outlined in this thesis strengthen the argument that a new form of homonegativity exists. Further, the MHS possesses superior psychometric properties and will prove useful when used to measure negative attitudes toward homosexual men and women in college and university settings. As an adjunct to the implications of the research, future directions are outlined.

Full textAbstract:
Municipal housing companies (MHCs) can be seen as hybrid organizations, operating under multiple institutional logics that are likely in tension with each other. Measuring the performance of hybrid organizations is a much harder exercise than measuring the performance of pure public or pure private entities. There is a lack of research in this area. To fill this gab van Helden and Reichard’s (2016a) proposed a framework that assigns typical characteristics to PMS in hybrids. The authors call for empirics to test the framework. Accordingly, the first purpose of the thesis is to test the hypotheses of this framework in practice, using a case study approach of two MHCs, MKB AB and LKF AB. The second purpose is to shed light on challenges, conflicts and even propose solutions for MCS/PMS. The thesis ended up by proposing a conceptual model for MCS/PMS that aims to reconcile conflicting goals and logics. The model integrates strategic management control tools (BSC and ERP) to support strategy implementation and formulation as well as to reconcile the different interests of the various stakeholders.

Full textAbstract:
Il lavoro di questa tesi è focalizzato sulla valutazione della sensibilità delle microonde rispetto a differenti idrometeore per le frequenze a 89 GHz e 150 GHz e nella banda di assorbimento del vapor d'acqua a 183.31 GHz. Il metodo di indagine consiste nell'utilizzo del modello di trasferimento radiativo RTTOV (Eyre, 1991) per simulare radianze dei canali dei sensori satellitari nelle microonde Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit-B (AMSU-B) e Microwave Humidity Sounder (MHS). Le simulazioni basate sul modello RTTOV si sono focalizzate su tre dataset indipendenti, forniti da ECMWF. Il primo passo tiene conto di una selezione di categorie dei profili atmosferici basato su una distinzione della fase delle idrometeore, LWP, IWP e WVP, con sottoclassi terra e oceano. La distinzione in diverse categorie permette di valutare la sensibilità di ciascuna frequenza utilizzata nelle simulazioni al variare del contenuto di acqua e ghiaccio. Un secondo approccio è usato per valutare la risposta di ciascuna frequenza nei casi di nevicate sulla terraferma. Questa indagine ha permesso lo sviluppo di un nuovo algoritmo prototipale per la stima dell'intensità di precipitazione nevosa basato su una serie di test a soglia e una equazione di combinazione lineare multipla che sfrutta una combinazione dei canali più sensibili alla snowfall: 150, 186 e 190 GHz. Una prima verifica su casi di studio pre-selezionati di snowstorm sembra fornire risultati promettenti. Infine è stato realizzato uno studio di sensibilità dell’algoritmo 183-WSL (Laviola and Levizzani, 2011) utilizzando le simulazioni di RTTOV con precipitazione/non precipitazione come predittori discreti e con le intensità di precipitazione come predittori continui. Le simulazioni RTTOV rivelano una sovrastima delle radianze in presenza di profili di pioggia e ciò potrebbe essere dovuto alle approssimazioni e parametrizzazioni adottate nel modello RTTOV-SCATT usato per la risoluzione dello scattering in presenza di precipitazione.

Este trabalho propõe um paradigma para gerencia de uma das entidades funcionais do Message Handling System (MHS) X.400, o Agente de Transferência de Mensagens (ATM). O MHS X.400 e a aplicação de correio eletrônico para o ambiente OSI. O correio eletrônico a uma das aplicações mais populares na comunidade de redes de computadores e atualmente tem sido cogitado como base para muitas outras aplicações. A definição conceitual do paradigma de gerencia baseou-se na estrutura de gerencia do modelo OSI, mas a implementação efetiva do protótipo utiliza o protocolo de gerencia da arquitetura Internet, o SNMP. As fases de definição e levantamento dos requisitos para gerencia de um Agente de Transferência de Mansagens (ATM) basearam-se nos modelos organizacional, funcional e informacional definidos pela ISO. 0 modelo organizacional define a hierarquia entre as entidades de gerencia, ou seja, a hierarquia entre agentes e gerentes. O modelo funcional descreve os requisitos para gerencia do ATM segundo as áreas funcionais do modelo: gerencia de fa1has, gerencia de configuração, gerencia de contabilidade, gerencia de desempenho e gerencia de segurança. 0 modelo informacional define a MIB, ou seja, os objetos que serão monitorados. A validação do modelo conceitual foi realizada através da implementação do protótipo. No protótipo foram utilizados os ambientes ISO Development Environment (ISODE), PP e SunNet Manager (SNM). A implementação do protótipo, alem de validar os conceitos te6ricos, foi útil para a obtenção de experiência com relação a integração entre os diversos ambientes.The network management has been grown due to the need of more secure networks and to reduce the network adminstrator work. The network physical elements management has been the most important topic in network management, but application management is also important because it is the interaction point between users and networks. There are groups working on standardization of application management defining Managemet Information Bases (MIBs) specifics for application management. A Management Information Base for Internet eletronic mail [KIL 941 was recently published. Beyond official groups, such as IFIP Working Group 6.6, there are other people investigating the management process of several well-known applications [CAR 94]. This work proposes a paradigm for the management of one funcional entity of Message Handlig System (MHS) X.400, the Message Transfer Agent (MTA). The MHS X.400 is the eletronic mail application for OSI environment. The eletronic mail is one of most popular network application and it has been indicated to be the base for other applications. The conceptual definition of management paradigm was based in OSI management framework, but the actual prototype implementation uses the SNMP protocol from Internet framework. The definition and elicitation of management requirements for MTA management were based on organization, function and information models defined by ISO. The organization model defines the hierarchy between the management entities, i.e., the hierarchy between agents and managers. The organization model describes the MTA management requirements by the functional areas: fault management, configuration managemet, accounting management, performance management and security managent. The information model defines the MIB, i.e., the managed objects. The conceptual model validation was realized throught prototype implementation. For this validation some softwares were used such as ISO Environment Development (ISODE) and PP that are sharewares commonly used in academic environments and SunNet Manager (SNM) that is a comercial software. This implementation prototype was helpful to apply the network management concepts and to get knowhow about real network managemnt softwares utilization and integration.

Nowadays Global Positioning System (GPS) has been widely used in different navigation applications. One of these important applications is GPS attitude determination. Given the antenna configurations the baselines can be defined and then the attitude is determined by the change of baseline on the coordinate. Practically it takes single difference carrier phase as measurements and decides a geometric matrix according to satellite distribution on the sky to conduct attitude estimation. However since there are multipath and noise after conducting line bias and integer ambiguity resolutions, the attitude estimation will deviate from the true vehicle attitude. Under normal condition with prior inspection for algorithm the linear relation between measurement residual and attitude estimation error can be derived. Further given the probability of integrity risk and the probability of continuity requirement, the protection level is determined. This protection level can be further compared with the alert limit which is decided according to different application requirements. Previously the protection level for attitude determination is calculated by least squared method, this kind of integrity system is lack of a mechanism to detect and exclude faulty measurement. As a result the Multiple Hypothesis Solution Separation (MHSS) method is therefore suggested in this thesis to add this feature. First the nominal bias and standard deviation of the measurements are decided and what kinds of fault hypothesis should not be taken into monitoring is determined. Following distribute the total probability of Hazardously Misleading Information (PHMI) to each fault hypothesis by integrity risk allocation. Due to the fact that the total probability of Hazardously Misleading Information (HMI) is the sum of the product between a prior probability of the hypothesis and the integrity risk allocated under the corresponding hypothesis case, the protection level value that satisfy the allocation condition is selected as the final overall protection level. Experiment is conducted in this work to validate the MHSS method and show the fault detection and exclusion capabilities. The results of experiment reveals that the protection level calculated by MHSS can bound the attitude estimation error through the experiment period as well as the MHSS can successfully detect and exclude the faulty measurement.

Cancer has been the leading cause of death for years in Taiwan. Oral cancer has the greatest possibility for early detection and recovery after early treatment. Compared to the traditional method of using the naked eye to detect oral cancer, the method of using the hyperspectral image of tissue can offer more information. We used the embedded relay lens microscopic hyperspectral imaging system to scan the sections and save the hyperspectral image. In this study, we diagnosed oral cancer using two methods: morphology and spectrum. In diagnosis using morphology, we presented two techniques: calculation of the fractal dimension and classification of k-Nearest Neighbor (KNN). In diagnosis using the spectrum method, we presented six techniques: comparing intensity, ratio of intensity, wavelength of peak, area under spectral curve, maximum after spline and full width at half maximum. We calculated the sensitivity and specificity using Gaussian distribution. Combining the 3 methods of the highest specificity provides a specificity of 98.45%. Finally, in accordance with sample data, we presented a cocktail method to increase the specificity of spectral analysis with fluorescence excitation to 87%.

Mugilidae is a group fishes living widely in tropical, sub-tropical and temperate coastal and estuaries in the world who have good abilities to adapt variety of environment and salinities. Therefore, these fishes are one of the most important food fish around the world. The aquaculture of mullet is very important in Taiwan, especially for flathead mullet (Mugil cephalus) which not only provide fish meat but also fish row which brought fishman a plentiful benefit every year. Despite the ecological and economical importance of grey mulle, the taxonomy and evolutionary relationships among the species so far remains largely unresolved. A major reason is that most morphological characters used in species identification classically are remarkably similar within the family. Especially during larval and juvenile stages which makes the reliable evidences deficiency for mullet resources investigation, utilization, conservation and management precisely. There were five genera and ten species of mugilid fishes recognized in Taiwan. Most species are living in the sandy coastal, estuaries, lagoon and mangroves while some speices living in rocky shore and coral reefs. According to the progress of molecular biology and biotechnology, there are many methods developed for species identificatoin. Multiplex COI haplotype-specific PCR (MHS-PCR) is one example. This method dependent on the DNA barcode of Mugilidae fishes for species specific primers design. We can identify the species rapidly based on the size of their PCR products. In this study, the molecular phylogenetic analysis using COI sequences suggested that there may have 6 genus and 16 species of Mugilidae in Taiwan and three of them are new species. Mugil cephalus is the most ancestral species of Muglidae in Taiwan who can be further divided into three cryptic species. Oedalecheila labiosus and Ellochelon vaigiensis are very different in morphology but are closer in genetics analysis. Valamugil seheli should be assigned in the same genus with Crenimugil crenilabis. Moolgarda perusii and Moolgarda cunnesius should be assigned to the genus Osteomugil. Genus Planiliza have more species and most of them are very similar in morphology, it is very difficult to identify them through morphology. In the situation of high fish diversity and high rate of cryptic species in Mugilidae in Taiwan, molecular systematics will be a fast, cheap and pricisely tool for species identification. The establishment of mullet barcode database can make species identification in research, aquaculture, fishery utilization and management more scientificaly.

3-Methoxy-5-hydroxy stilbene (MHS) is a naturally occurring stilbene, rich in rhizomes of Alpinia plants. In the present study, we isolated ~180 mg/kg of MHS from rhizomes of Alpinia nantoensis. The bioactivity investigations of this compound has been rarely reported. In this study, we investigated the anti-metastatic potential of MHS on human lung carcinoma A549 cells in vitro. Initial cytotoxicity assessment shows that treatment with MHS did not exhibit cytotoxicity in A549 cells up to the concentration of 40 µM for 24h. However, result from in vitro wound healing assay showed that MHS significantly inhibited tumor cell migration in a dose-dependent manner. Western blot analysis revealed that, inhibition of tumor cell migration by MHS is reasoned by down-regulation of matrixmettaloprotinase-2 (MMP-2) and matrixmettaloprotinase-9 (MMP-9) at both enzymatic activity and protein levels. Next, we also examined the transcriptional activity of β-catenin, which is one of the major transcription factors regulates metastasis. Immunofluorescence analysis showed that treatment with MHS significantly inhibited the nuclear translocation of β-catenin, followed by enhancing the expression of E-cadherin. In addition, we also found that MHS significantly up-regulated E-cadherin in TGF-β induced A549 cells, which regulates epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition during metastasis. Taken together, the present study suggests that MHS be a potential candidate for the development of chemopreventive /chemotherapeutic agents for human lung cancer. However, further investigations in both cellular and in vivo animal models are highly wanted.

NoThis paper presents a Knowledge-Based (KB) integrated approach for planning and designing of number of machining centres, selection of material handling system, layout and networking architecture and cost analysis for a Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMS). The KB model can be applied for integrating the decision issues at both the planning and designing stages of an FMS for three types of layouts (single row, double row, and loop) and three MHS types (robot-conveyor, AGV-conveyor and a hybrid AGV-robot-conveyor). The KB methodology starts from a suitable information input, which includes demand per year of part types, part type’s information, machining centre’s calculation, Material Handling System (MHS) selection, machining centre’s layout selection, networking selection and financial analysis. The KB methodology is developed by using AM, an expert system shell, and contains over 1500 KB rules. The performance of the system has been verified and validated through four published and four industrial case studies, respectively. The validation results from industry show that the KB methodology is capable of considering detailed design inputs and is able to assist in designing and selecting a practical FMS. It is concluded that a KB system for the present FMS application is a viable and efficient methodology.

The 5-years survival rate of oral cancer is approximately 57%; however, if the oral cancer is discovered in the early stage, the 5-years survival rates can be increased to 80%. Biopsy is a conventional approach for diagnosing oral cancer. In addition to allow pathologists to diagnose the stage of cancer accurately, a biopsy also allows them to prescribe the most appropriate treatment. However, the difference in experience and subjectivity between pathologists might affect their diagnostic accuracy. Therefore, the pathologist hopes to find an approach to quantitatively diagnose oral cancer. A microscopic hyperspectral imaging system (MHIS), which can simultaneously present the tissue image and the spectral information of each pixel on an image, has been developed to aid physician to quantitatively diagnose oral cancer. However, the MHIS has some hardware issues, such as the unstable scanning mechanism, complex mechanical structure, and inconvenient alignment. Hence, this study develops a novel embedded relay lens microscopic hyperspectral imaging system (ERL-MHIS), which is composed of the proposed ERL-HIS and a microscope, to improve the hardware issues by optical transferring the scanning plane from objective plane to imaging plane. In this study, the development of the ERL-MHIS is discussed and the capability of the system is firstly demonstrated by diagnosing early stage oral cancer of twenty mice biopsies. The sensitivity and specificity are 88.9% and 87.6%, respectively. Then, twenty-nine oral cancer (fourteen in early stage) patient’s biopsies are diagnosed using cocktail approach, which diagnoses the biopsy according to the patient’s condition. The sensitivity and specificity are 90% and 87.8%, respectively. Finally, the tissue stratification approach, which combines the morphological and spectral information of biopsy to discriminate cancer form normal biopsies, is used to diagnose thirty-four patient’s biopsies. The sensitivity and specificity are 94.12% and 91.18%, respectively. Moreover, we also connect the ERL-HIS with the fiberscope for in-vivo diagnosis.

PURPOSE: The main aim of this study was to systematically assess the factors that
influence maternal health care services utilization by women in Awash Fentale woreda
(district), Ethiopia.
DESIGN: A quantitative, descriptive, and cross-sectional design was selected as the
methodology for this study.
METHOD: Data were collected using a structured questionnaire administered to 422
women aged 15 to 49 years through a stratified sampling technique. Data was entered,
analyzed and interpreted using SPSS computer program. Binary logistic regression
model was used to identify the factors that influence maternal health care services
utilization.
RESULTS: The findings of this research indicated that not attending school, not
watching television, and not owning a Bajaj (three-tire motorbike) significantly influenced
low utilization of antenatal care (ANC) visits, while exposure to media, including reading
newspapers, was positively associated with the adequacy of ANC visits. Similarly,
factors such as not attending school and not watching television at all influenced
delivery care (DC) services utilization negatively, while husbands’ low income and not
watching television at all were negatively associated with postnatal care (PNC) service
utilization. This research study found that 80 (19%) of the respondents preferred to give
birth at home and the remaining 342 (81%) preferred a health facility for their delivery
services. In addition, 43% of the respondents were not satisfied with the care and
attention given by the health care provider and approximately 52% of the respondents
were not satisfied with the cleanliness of the health facilities. It was also illustrated in
this study that family members’ influence was one of the major barriers identified for DC
services utilization.
Conclusion: Policy making, planning, and implementation should focus on factors that
influence maternal health care services utilization and barriers to DC services. In order
to increase the utilization of maternal health care services by women with low levels of educational status, husbands ’low income or wealth quintile, and low media exposure,
strategies were developed by the researcher.Health Studies

Com o intuito de atrair os novos utilizadores de tecnologias moveis, algumas cadeias hoteleiras começaram a lançar Serviços Moveis Hoteleiros (SMH). Os SMH, referem-se ao uso de telemóveis como ferramentas de acesso e compra de serviços hoteleiros. Através de aplicações para telemóvel, os hóspedes podem ter acesso a serviços como reserva de quartos, check-in/out, concierge, serviço de quartos e de limpeza. OS SMH permitem aos hóspedes acederem aos serviços dos hotéis de forma rápida, onde e quando quiserem, apenas precisando de uma ligação à internet para desempenharem essas tarefas. Sendo que, a aceitação dos SMH pelos utilizadores é crucial para o sucesso da implementação destes sistemas, é imperioso para os profissionais e académicos, compreenderem os factores que influenciam a adopção dos SMH. Foi então desenvolvido um modelo conceptual que combina a extensão da teoria unificada de aceitação e uso da tecnologia (UTAUT2) com o factor de valor percepcionado, com vista a explicar a intenção de uso e recomendação dos SMH. Para testar o modelo conceitual foram reunidos dados de 348 casos validados, e observou-se que o modelo explica 62 por cento da variação na intenção de uso dos SMH, e 51 por cento da variação na recomendação. Os resultados suportam que a expectativa de performance, expectativa de esforço, condições facilitadoras e o factor valor percepcionado explicam a intenção de uso dos SMH. Por sua vez, a recomendação dos SMH é influenciada pela intenção de uso e pelo factor de valor percepcionadas. As implicações teórico-práticas dos nossos resultados são discutidas.In order to attract new consumers, stay competitive, and increase revenues, some hospitality corporations have started to launch Mobile Hospitality Services (MHS). MHS refer to using cell phones as a tool to access, request, and buy services related to hotels. For this reason we developed a conceptual model that combines the extension of unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT2) with perceived value to explain behavior intention and recommendation of MHS. To test the conceptual model we collected data from 348 cases, and found that the model explains 62 percent of the variation in behavior intention to use MHS, and 51 percent of the variation in recommendation. Our findings support the belief that performance expectancy, effort expectancy, facilitating conditions, and perceived value explain behavior intention of MHS. Recommendation of MHS is explained by behavioral intention and perceived value. Theoretical and managerial implications of our results are discussed.
