Fourth Industrial revolution is currently sweeping the high-income countries (HIC) with Artificial Intelli- gence (AI) based automation affecting virtually every aspect of life. The term AI was first coined by McCar- thy in 1956. It was not until 2000s that AI began to thrive. The evolution of AI into the current status occurred in the last decade owing to the enhanced computing power using Graphic Processing Units (GPU), development of high-powered computer languages, and the emergence of the Big Data. The latter is generated through wireless communication between ‘Smart’ sensors/devices and self-learning machines. The word ‘smart’ is applied to any device that has memory and is able to connect with data networks such as the internet and the processors. In the last few years, there has been exponential growth in AI applications. This can be judged by the projec- tion that the AI field will add $ 15 Trillion to global economy, by the year 2030, up from $ 600 Million in 2016. This will occur mostly in the HIC. The adoption of AI by low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) lags far behind that of HICs. The LMICs would miss out in the economic benefits, further widening the global inequalities. Machine Learning and Deep Learning are branches of AI that are beginning to form the basis of the automation of financial and business decisions, and are the tools of self-driving cars, industrial produc- tion, data analytics, quality improvement and health- care processes to name a few. In healthcare, some of the AI applications have shown to enhance patient care, reduce medical errors, support clinical and administrative decision making, automate equipment maintenance and help reduce operational cost. For instance, AI led cost reductions achieved up to 25 percent drop in the length of hospital stay and up to 91 per cent reduction in admissions to step down facili- ties. In the United States alone, by the year 2026, AI in healthcare is estimated to realize $150 billion in annual cost savings.

Full textAbstract:
In the advent of very high data rates of the upcoming 3G long-term evolution telecommunication systems, there is a crucial need for efficient and flexible turbo decoder implementations. In this study, a max-log-MAP turbo decoder is implemented as an application-specific instruction-set processor. The processor is accompanied with accelerating computing units, which can be controlled in detail. With a novel memory interface, the dual-port memory for extrinsic information is avoided. As a result, processing one trellis stage with max-log-MAP algorithm takes only 1.02 clock cycles on average, which is comparable to pure hardware decoders. With six turbo iterations and 277 MHz clock frequency 22.7 Mbps, decoding speed is achieved on 130 nm technology.

Full textAbstract:
Gordon Moore famously observed that the number of transistors in state-of-the-art integrated circuits (units per chip) increases exponentially, doubling every 12–24 months. Analysts have debated whether simple exponential growth describes the dynamics of computer processor evolution. We note that the increase encompasses two related phenomena, integration of larger numbers of transistors and transistor miniaturization. Growth in the number of transistors per unit area, or chip density, allows examination of the evolution with a single measure. Density of Intel processors between 1959 and 2013 are consistent with a biphasic sigmoidal curve with characteristic times of 9.5 years. During each stage, transistor density increased at least tenfold within approximately six years, followed by at least three years with negligible growth rates. The six waves of transistor density increase account for and give insight into the underlying processes driving advances in processor manufacturing and point to future limits that might be overcome.

Full textAbstract:
As a result of hardware resource constraints, it is difficult to obtain medical images with a sufficient resolution to diagnose small lesions. Recently, super-resolution (SR) was introduced into the field of medicine to enhance and restore medical image details so as to help doctors make more accurate diagnoses of lesions. High-frequency information enhances the accuracy of the image reconstruction, which is demonstrated by deep SR networks. However, deep networks are not applicable to resource-constrained medical devices because they have too many parameters, which requires a lot of memory and higher processor computing power. For this reason, a lightweight SR network that demonstrates good performance is needed to improve the resolution of medical images. A feedback mechanism enables the previous layers to perceive high-frequency information of the latter layers, but no new parameters are introduced, which is rarely used in lightweight networks. Therefore, in this work, a lightweight dual mutual-feedback network (DMFN) is proposed for medical image super-resolution, which contains two back-projection units that operate in a dual mutual-feedback manner. The features generated by the up-projection unit are fed back into the down-projection unit and, simultaneously, the features generated by the down-projection unit are fed back into the up-projection unit. Moreover, a contrast-enhanced residual block (CRB) is proposed as each cell block used in projection units, which enhances the pixel contrast in the channel and spatial dimensions. Finally, we designed a unity feedback to down-sample the SR result as the inverse process of SR. Furthermore, we compared it with the input LR to narrow the solution space of the SR function. The final ablation studies and comparison results show that our DMFN performs well without utilizing a large amount of computing resources. Thus, it can be used in resource-constrained medical devices to obtain medical images with better resolutions.

As a public policy researcher of Mainland China for the author of this thesis, the selection of social medical insurance﹙SMI﹚ system as the thesis topic has the following reasons. Firstly, the reforming of SMI system of Mainland China, in particular during the transition of political system, can involve a wide range of public territories such as public finance, civil administration relief fund, public health care, social security, etc.. and can induce a wider range of conflicting interest among different public sectors, in comparison to the policy-makings of national defense, foreign affairs, environment etc., thus, being a good research topic for the public policy research. Secondly, the author intends through the research of medical insurance policy having abundant contents, to present the general condition of public policy of Mainland China, so to fulfill the in-depth analysis requirement of academic research. However, under the limited live data which could be collected, the clear presentation of the every aspect of medical insurance policy of Mainland China is a very difficult task. Hence, the author selects the New Rural Cooperative Medical Scheme﹙NRCMS﹚ which is applicable to the agriculture sector of Mainland China as the research topic. It is because, according to the recent statistics, farmers occupy 70.86% of the total population of Mainland China. The thesis begins with finding the system reasons for the present medical status in Mainland China, i.e., being difficult and expensive to get medical treatment. Then these system reasons mainly caused by the pitfall of medical insurance policy are further investigated. For a further clarification, the core stakeholder entities and the three core operation subsystems, both of the NRCMS , as well as their interactions are presented. The three core stakeholder are： the medical service provider、 the medical service user and the cooperative venders； the three entities subsystems are： the medical insurance subsystem, the medical funding subsystem and the medical service subsystem. By analyzing the interaction among the three core stakeholders entities and with the three core subsystems, the author intends to clarify the causal chain between the policy pitfall and the present medical status of Mainland China. The research results show that after implementation of the NRCMS, there are now still several problems to be solved, such as “medical cost on users not decreased”、“the service offered by providers shrinks due to limited medical funding”、“the lower efficiency due to the unnecessary overlapping of organization layers”. To solve the above problems, the author suggests： 1.The fundamental changes on medical users, such as： ﹙1﹚changing the medical health concept of farmers； ﹙2﹚properly increasing the percentage of self-payment for the medical service； ﹙3﹚properly increasing the proportion of fund collected from medical users. 2. The fundamental changes on service providers, e.g., moving towards privatization and deregulation,. 3. The fundamental change on cooperative vendors, such as ﹙1﹚Speeding up the development of commercial medical insurance﹙CMI﹚； ﹙2﹚Encouraging the CMI companies to take charge of the NRCMS business； ﹙3﹚Lifting up the government level for a better coordination among various subsystems of NRCMS. Furthermore, the author suggests referring to the National Health Insurance (NHI) of Taiwan and making a comparison between the NHIS and the NRCMS,. The NRCMS of Mainland China, 1. May consider to conduct the “forced participation”； 2. Should guide the service users¢ medical concept, in the same way as the NHI； 3. May consider to integrate the different medical insurance systems presently existing in Mainland China. As to the future integration of NRCMS, the author suggests implementing the following policies： 1.Combing the existing three medical insurance systems：the NRCMS , the Urban Employee Basic Medical Insurance (UEBMI) and the Urban Resident Basic Medical Insurance (URBMI), as soon as possible, to be under one single governmental department to lower down the administrative cost； 2. Combining the NRCMS with the URBMI first, and then with the UEBMI. The contribution of this thesis can be summarized as follows： 1 .Investigating the NRCMS from all possible aspects in a systematic and in depth approach； 2. First time applying the three-aspect equilibrium theory to the policy analysis of NRCMS； 3. Highlighting the core contents of NRCMS as the interaction among three types of stakeholders with the three operation subsystems. Finally, the research results of this thesis could be extended into the analysis of medical policy reform of the developing countries, in particular of Eastern Europe, which are under the same transition from planned economy into free-market economy as in Mainland China. Consequently, the policy reform research of these countries is highy encouraged for future study. As this thesis has been focused on the NRCMS of Mainland China, insufficient attention has been paid to the medical insurance policy reform of the developing countries in Eastern Europe, only limited presentation has been given as part of the literature survey. Facing with the high value of Eastern Europe research or the medical insurance policy reform, the author expects more studies by researchers in this area. Key words: Mainland China; the New Rural Cooperative Medical Scheme﹙NRCMS﹚; Social Medical Insurance

Full textAbstract:
The monograph is a study of main trends of emergence and evolution of the national historical writing in Western Europe in the XVIIth century. Based on a complex analysis of several phenomena which defined the development of the Early Modern historical writing, it provides a comparative analysis of the regional schools of historical writing (particularly those of the English antiquaries and French érudits) in the process of their respective growth and formation accomplished by the end of XVIIth century with the advent of the national historiography. The conceptual unity of the book is verified within the context of the rise of the national states in England and France, which stipulated a consistent demand for reinforcing the nationally orientated discourses not only in a historical writing but also in legal and political thought. The perception of England as an empire, entrenched in the insular historical and legal consciousness, recurring during the reigns of the Stuarts and extending to the whole British archipelago, determined the establishment of chorography as a prevalent form characteristic of the English historiography. Chorographic structure of the narrative unfolding the space of the territorial “empire” to the reader corresponded to the method of “intellectual appropriation” of the British Isles by the English antiquarians which could be defined as “cultural-historical”. A considerable role was devoted to reactualization of ethnogenetic myths at different levels: while some of them (primarily – the Galfridian myth) were regarded as relevant to the pan-British cultural and historical past, others emphasized autonomous dimensions of the past and present of distinct composites (Scotland, Ireland, Wales) The continental French variant of proto-national historiography also utilized the idea of empire but in a different mode defined by the formula “rex in regno suo imperator est”. The emerging school of érudits modelled principles of its narratives on patrimonial structures rooted in the feudal medieval society (dynasty; royal family; aristocratic lineages; seigneurial rights and vassal obligations; the system of offices created by the monarch stemming from the royal household etc.). The unity of the subjects of the French kingdom was ensured not by the shared territorial commonality but by their loyalty to the king. Therefore, the French variant of “intellectual appropriation” was developed in a socio-political direction in contrast to the territorial.

Full textAbstract:
This book provides an integrative framework for the anthropological demography of health, a field of interdisciplinary population research grounded in ethnography and in critical examination of the social, political, and economic histories that have shaped relations between peoples. The field has grown from the 1990s, extending to a remarkable range of key human and policy issues, including: genetic disorders; nutrition; mental health; infant, child and maternal morbidity; malaria; HIV/AIDS; disability and chronic diseases; new reproductive technologies; and population ageing. Collaboration with social, medical, and demographic historians enables these issues to be situated in the evolution of institutional structures and inequalities that shape health and care access. Understanding fertility levels and trends has widened beyond parity and contraception to the many life course risks and alternative healing systems that shape reproductive health. By going beyond conventional demographic and epidemiological methods, and idealised macro/micro-level units, the anthropological demography of health places people’s health-seeking behaviour in a compositional demography based on ethnographic observation of group formation and change over time, and of variance between what people say and do. It tracks family and community networks; class, linguistic, and religious groups; sectoral labour and market distributions; health and healing specialisms; and relations between these bodies and with groups controlling local and national governments. The approach enables examination of how local cultures and experience are translated formally into measures on which survey and clinical programmes rely, thus testing the empirical adequacy of such translations, and leading to revision of concepts of risk and governance.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter describes real-time physiological status monitoring, which provides key medical situational awareness of at-risk individuals. The information obtained enables military leaders to make better decisions with regard to mission management. These monitoring systems do not replace medical or leadership decision-making, but rather they provide objective information on which leadership can base their decisions to mitigate the risk of injuries and enhance performance. Commercial systems and research tools must be modified to meet the requirements of operational military personnel. These monitoring systems integrate wearable sensors, smart algorithms, computer and mobile user interfaces, and communications equipment to allow data-driven decisions to be made by appropriate personnel. This often requires data to be aggregated and sent from the wearer of the system to a decision-maker some distance away. This chapter describes the research and development efforts to meet the needs of military operational units.

Full textAbstract:
According to the historical and social context and the evolution of technologies, medical care onboard ships has been a requirement of variable priority throughout the ship design. Strangely, this statement is much more evident in the field of naval ships, where there is a greater probability of injured or sick personnel when operating in warfare scenarios or humanitarian operations. NATO provides simple prescriptive recommendations, which indicate the health care and assistance facilities that naval units must offer. The classification describes the operational capabilities of the ship’s health facility using the word “Role”, depending on the response in terms of available treatments. The level is assigned with progressively increasing capabilities from Role 1 up to Role 4, which requires a complete operational response. On naval ships, the need to integrate many requirements minimises the design margins regarding the use of onboard volumes. In spite of the particular mission profile of naval units, the medical treatment capability is often underestimated. Indeed, it is necessary to reserve an appropriate part of the overall space onboard to rationally allocate adequate medical facilities. In this paper, the integration of innovative medical facilities with Role 2 Enhanced capability within the general arrangements of an LPD ship is presented. Furthermore, the 90 m2-wide hospital enables the dual-use of the military ship more effectively. Specifically, the accommodations onboard are convertible to beds for patients, whilst complying with all safety and survivability criteria.

Full textAbstract:
So far our treatment of fluid motions has not emphasized the behavior of fluids residing within porous geological materials. Let us now turn to this topic and, in doing so, make use of our insight regarding purely fluid flows. The general topic of fluid behavior within porous geological materials is an extensive one, forming the heart of such fields as groundwater hydrology, soils physics, and petroleum-reservoir dynamics. In addition, this topic is an essential ingredient in studies concerning the physical and chemical evolution of sedimentary basins, and the dynamics of accretionary prisms at convergent plate margins. In view of the breadth of these topics, the objective of this chapter is to introduce essential ingredients of fluid flow and transport within porous materials that are common to these topics. Our first task is to examine the physical basis of Darcy’s law, and to generalize this law to a form that can be used with an arbitrary orientation of the working coordinate system relative to the intrinsic coordinates of a geological unit that are associated with its anisotropic properties. We will likewise examine the basis of transport of solutes and heat in porous materials. We will then develop the equations of motion for the general case of saturated flow in a deformable medium. In this regard, several of the Example Problems highlight interactions between flow and strain of geological materials during loading, because this interaction bears on many geological processes. Examples include consolidation of sediments during loading, and responses of aquifers to loading by oceanic and Earth tides, and seismic stresses. We will concentrate on the description of diffuse flows within the interstitial pores of granular materials, as opposed to flows within materials containing dual, or multiple, pore systems such as karstic media, or media containing both interstitial and fracture porosities. We will consider unsaturated, as well as saturated, conditions. For simplicity, the subscript h is omitted from the notation of quantities such as specific discharge q and hydraulic conductivity K.

Traditional fields in health delivery such as chronic diseases or independent aging are evolving to novel healthcare applications like intra-hospital ecosystems and Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs). Furthermore, emerging trends in Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) and evolution of the Medical Devices (MDs) to Personal Health Devices (PHDs) led towards the interoperability of new health services. In this patient-centered context, the international ISO/IEEE11073 (X73) family of standards is proposed to provide device usability enhancements. In this chapter, the X73 technical features and the new transport technology profiles specifically designed for X73 are introduced to provide an updated framework for developing highly efficient portable and wearable MDs and PHDs. Moreover, these protocol guidelines and technology features are applied to vital signs monitoring, pointing out some potential advantages for adopting new use cases such as NICUs where design requirements like ergonomics, reliability, size, power consumption and signal transmission become strict implementation constraints.

Abstract The main purpose of this study is to investigate the forgability of sintered powder compacts, including the void evolution and fracture prediction in the forming process. A new ductile fracture criterion for porous media is developed based on the maximum principal strain energy per unit of volume. It demonstrates that the strain energy density is governed by the maximum principal stress in material. Fracture will occur as the accumulation of strain energy density reaches the critical value at that point. Experiments and Finite element analysis were conducted to establish the models. The material properties of sintered porous preforms were obtained from both the uni-axial tension and compression tests. The finite element models were verified with experiments of upsetting under different frictional conditions. Studies show that the results by the new criterion are more compatible with the experimental data than other previous forms. In addition, voids lead to the degradation of the strength and workability of materials. Friction contributes to the non-uniformity of deformation and density variation that causes the workpiece to fracture.

Full textAbstract:
Active contraction of smooth muscle results in the myogenic response and vasomotion of arteries, which adjusts the blood flow and nutrient supply of the organism. It is a multiphysic process coupled electrical and chemical kinetics with mechanical behavior of the smooth muscle. This paper presents a new constitutive model for the media layer of the artery wall to describe the myogenic response of artery wall for different transmural pressures. The model includes two major components: electrobiochemical, and chemomechanical parts. The electrochemical model is a lumped Hodgkin-Huxley-type cell membrane model for the nanoscopic ionic currents: calcium, sodium, and potassium. The calculated calcium concentration serves as input for the chemomechanical portion of the model; its molecular binding and the reactions with other enzyme cause the relative sliding of thin and thick filaments of the contractile unit. In the chemomechanical model, a new nonlinear viscoelastic model is proposed using a continuum mechanics approach to describe the time varying behavior of the smooth muscle. Specifically, this model captures the filament overlap effect, active stress evolution, initial velocity, and elastic recoil in the media layer. The artery wall is considered as a thin-walled cylindrical tube. Using the proposed constitutive model and the thin-walled equilibrium equation, the myogenic response is calculated for different transmural pressures. The integrated model is able to capture the pressure-diameter transient and steady-state relationship.
