<p>Tailorability in ubiquitous computing systems is needed at different levels, depending on the targeted end users. For inexperienced end users lacking computer competency, high level mechanisms for tailoring are needed. Systems such as ASTRA, which use a service oriented architecture, can provide such high level tailorability through service composition. With service composition, services can be combined and configured to form applications. However, using service composition introduces new challenges for end users. To find appropriate services, users need mechanisms for searching and browsi

Abstract:

End of life (EOL) caregiving can be a daunting and challenging endeavor as caregivers adjust to the ever-changing care demands associated with dying. Increased personal care, assisting with symptom and medication management, and attending to the emotional and spiritual needs of the dying person require caregivers to learn new tasks and to assume new roles such as social worker, nurse, and chaplain. As families continue to play an essential role in meeting the health care needs of their dying loved ones, it is imperative for social workers to understand the complexities of the end of life car

This qualitative and quantitative study focused on exploring hospice patient’s perceptions of family support. Family support was conceptualized as which family member they expect to receive support from, types of support provided, frequency of support, family communication about medical illness, and type of support that is perceived to be most helpful. Fifteen partcipants between the ages of 70 to 98 were interviewed using purposive sampling. Findings showed that although participants found both physical and emotional support helpful, more than half reported perceiving emotional support as the

Abstract:

Times of transition offer the greatest potential for changing direction, for better or worse in young people’s lives. Yet it seems that many young people with social, emotional and behavioural difficulties (SEBD) fail to make the most of this window of opportunity as they make the transition out of school into adult life. Existing research into the transitional experiences and outcomes of school-leavers with SEBD reveal that they experience high levels of unemployment, drug and alcohol abuse, mental health problems and involvement in criminal activity, with the consequent costs, social and eco

People with psychosis commonly have poorer social networks and social support than the general population. However, qualitative social network features (e.g. presence of a confidant, perceived social support) are under-researched in first episode psychosis. Also, mechanisms through which poor relationships and support make symptoms and functioning in psychosis worse are largely unknown. This study aimed to investigate social network features and perceived social support in people with first episode psychosis, and also examined if the association between loneliness and paranoia was mediated by

研究背景<br>耐多藥結核病（MDR-TB）在世界範圍內的廣泛傳播阻礙了結核病的有效控制。世界衛生組織推薦了一系列提高耐藥結核病人治療依從性和治愈率的社會支持政策，包括直接面試下服藥（DOT）、經濟支持、健康教育和心理支持。但是目前還不清楚這些社會支持政策能否促進耐多藥結核病的有效治療。為填補這一領域的研究空白，我們首先針對DOT這一促進治療依從性的主要社會支持政策與耐多藥結核病人治療結果之間的關係做了系統綜述和Meta分析。為了進一步驗證不同社會支持政策對耐多藥病人治療結果的影響，我們在中國浙江省对全球基金支持的國家耐多藥結核病控制項目（NMTP-GF）中納入的病人開展了回顧性隊列研究。<br>研究方法<br>在開展系統綜述和meta分析時，由兩名研究員在常用的電子文獻數據庫中搜索1970年1月至2015年12月期間發表的相關英文文章并提取關鍵信息。Meta分析的結果採用隨機效果模型分析并報告了合併的成功治療率以及95%置信區間（CI）。隊列研究的病人入選條件是：2009年1月1日至2012年6月30日期間開始治療的耐多藥結核病人。採用定量和定性相結合的研究方法收集數據。定量數據來自所有納入病人的病案以及面對面訪談的病人問卷調查。結果採用多元回歸分析方法檢驗社會支持、依從性和治療結果的影響因素并採用路徑分析驗證治療依從性的中介效應。定性數據通過分別對10名治療督導員（通常為社區衛

Abstract:

Since diffusion models of social network are widely used in studying epidemiology, in this thesis, we apply diffusion models to study the contact immunity generated by attenuated vaccines.Oral polio vaccine (OPV) is a typical attenuated vaccine for polio that can produce contact immunity and therefore help protect more individuals than vaccinees.<br>To better capture the utilization of OPV’s contact immunity, we model the community as a social network, and formulate the task of maximizing the contact immunity effect as an optimization problem on graphs, which is to find a sequence of vertices

Orientação: Manuela Guerreiro<br>Considerando a crescente importância dos conceitos de qualidade de vida e suporte social relacionados com a saúde dos idosos e a escassez de estudos existentes em indivíduos adultos, mais novos, pretende-se realizar um estudo, com o objetivo de comparar e analisar estas variáveis nos dois grupos etários. Este estudo comparativo, de diferentes aspetos da qualidade de vida e suporte social, envolve sujeitos mais novos (que designaremos apenas por adultos) e adultos idosos (que passaremos a designar por idosos).

Abstract:

Introduction. HIV positive men who have sex with men (HIVMSM), facing severe stigma and many stressors, have high prevalence of mental health problems, such as depression. However, there is a lack of mental health promotion and treatment services targeting HIVMSM in China. The Three Good Things (TGT) exercise is one of the commonly used positive psychology interventions; its benefits in reducing depression have been scientifically proven in many disease groups. Yet, TGT has not been applied among HIVMSM. In addition, social support has shown to be protective of depression. The emergence of ele

Abstract:

La mort d'un enfant est considérée comme l'une des expériences les plus difficiles à laquelle une personne puisse faire face. Les cliniciens, les hôpitaux et plusieurs organismes ont pour objectif d’aider les parents endeuillés, mais leurs efforts sont compliqués par un manque de recherche dans le domaine du deuil parental. Cette thèse est composée de trois articles, soit deux revues de littérature et une étude empirique, qui tentent de combler cette lacune et d’informer les services en soins palliatifs pédiatriques et les services de soutien au deuil en particulier. Le premier article porte
