Abstract:
Detta examensarbete gjordes i samarbete med Husfoto AB där syftet var att undersöka potentialen i att använda maskininlärniningsalgoritmer för att utföra automatiska klassificeringar mellan godkända och icke-godkända bilder enligt en subjektivt framställd kvalitetsstandard. Både metoder som använder maskininlärning, samt mer traditionella bildanalysmetoder användes, testades och jämfördes inom kvalitetsmåtten precision, känslighet, träffsäkerhet och balanserad träffsäkerhet. Maskininlärningsmetoder som användes var en linjär och en icke-linjär variant av Support Vector Machine (SVM), samt XGboost. De manuella metoderna var en variant av White Patch, samt två egna metoder framtagna för projektet. Bildfelen som undersöktes var vitbalans och färgen på himmel för exteriörbilder, och datan samlades in och annoterades parallellt med arbetet. Trots att mängden data var begränsad så erhölls bättre resultat än förväntat, vilket ger en indikation på att maskininlärning kan användas för klassificeringar med subjektiva bedömningar som referensmått med gott resultat. Resultaten visar att kvalitetsmåtten för flera metoder presterar relativt likvärdigt i många fall med vissa avvikande skillnader. Genom att använda den subjektiva bedömningen av Husfoto för att skapa ett objektivt mått med metoderna som används så visar resultatet att metoderna för vissa fel kommer upp i över 80% träffsäkerhet.

Abstract:
Information communication technologies (ICT) in education is an expanding field, and within this field there is a need for development of effective systems for faculty and learners to communicate feedback and assess performance. The increasing migration of many academic disciplines and courses to an online format has prompted an increased need for the development of evidence-based tools and techniques that can be made available to educational institutions in order to connect and communicate with the learner. Many faculty and students have been faced with a less than optimal transition to the online environments and for these faculty and students, educational performance can be hindered. Guided by a developmental research methodology (DRM), the researcher examined the need for a novel communication and assessment system, the elements required for such a system to succeed, the building of such a system, and finally the testing of the initial effectiveness of the system. The developed system, known as an Online Assessment System (OAS) or Gradeswift (prototype name), incorporated criterion based assessment utility with multi-modal (text, voice, and video) functionality to create an asynchronous means for communicating effectively through online information storage and delivery. It was shown that the OAS had a significant impact on the educational landscape by providing better communication and performance assessment. Additionally, the OAS had been designed to increase the efficiency of the process of assessment, thus assisting faculty with workload and time required to assess student assignments. Last, students have the added benefit of receiving personalized feedback from instructors, enhancing the experience and perceived usefulness of online assessment.

Abstract:
Introduction: Light microscopy has remained the primary tool for the assessment of embryo quality and the selection of embryos for transfer in clinical IVF practice. Recent studies have suggested that metabolomic profiling of embryo culture media can distinguish human embryos with better implantation potential. We therefore undertook the following study to further assess the usefulness of metabolomic profiling “spent” embryo culture medium using Raman spectroscopy. Methods: Patients undergoing IVF+/-ICSI treatment from the UBC Centre for Reproductive Health were recruited for study. Demographic and clinical information was collected. As part of routine clinical procedures, embryos were individually cultured in G1 media from Day 1-3 and in G2 media from Day 4-6. G1 and G2 culture medium (vitrolife, Englewood, CO) introduced specifically for cleavage embryo and blastocyst culture respectively. Embryo-free G1 and G2 droplets were placed alongside the embryo-containing ones as controls. For the study, fresh droplets of spent and control culture media were individually collected on Day 3 and 6 and prepared for assessment by Raman spectroscopy. The assessment score under light microscopy of the corresponding embryo and its fate were recorded for comparison and correlation. To validate the detection limits of Raman spectroscopy a wide range of glucose and glycine concentrations between 0 and 500 mM in distilled water were analyzed. Results: A total of 300 embryos/spent media droplets from 54 patients aged 27-43 years (mean age ± SD: 36.33 ± 3.26) were evaluated. Of 111 embryos transferred, 19 implanted and led to a pregnancy: 7 (12.96%) single and 6 (11.1%) twin pregnancies. Irrespective of pregnancy, there were no systematic differences between the Raman spectra generated from spent media of Day 3 and Day 6 embryos, or between spent media and control media. Conclusions: In contrast to published reports, our study does not show that metabolomic profiling of spent embryo culture media by Raman spectroscopy can differentiate embryos with better implantation potential or add value to light microscopic assessment as in clinical practice.

Abstract:
Ce travail vise à mieux évaluer la qualité perceptuelle des images contenant des distorsions structurelles et géométriques notamment dans le contexte de médias immersifs. Nous proposons et explorons un cadre algorithmique hiérarchique de la perception visuelle. Inspiré par le système visuel humain, nous investiguons plusieurs niveaux de représentations des images : bas niveau (caractéristiques élémentaires comme les segments), niveau intermédiaire (motif complexe, encodage de contours), haut niveau (abstraction et reconnaissance des données visuelles). La première partie du manuscrit traite des représentations bas niveau pour la structure et texture. U n modèle basé filtre bilatéral est d’abord introduit pour qualifier les rôles respectifs de l’information texturale et structurelle dans diverses tâches d’évaluation (utilité, qualité. . . ). Une mesure de qualité d’image/vidéo est proposée pour quantifier les déformations de structure spatiales et temporelles perçues en utilisant une métrique dite élastique. La seconde partie du mémoire explore les représentations de niveaux intermédiaires. Un modèle basé « schetch token » et un autre basé sur codage d’un arbre de contexte sont présentés pour évaluer la qualité perçue. La troisième partie traite des représentations haut niveau. Deux approches d’apprentissage machine sont proposées pour apprendre ces représentations : une basée sur un technique de convolutional sparse coding, l’autre sur des réseaux profonds de type generative adversarial network. Au long du manuscrit, plusieurs expériences sont menées sur différentes bases de données pour plusieurs applications (FTV, visualisation multi-vues, images panoramiques 360. . . ) ainsi que des études utilisateurs
This work aims to better evaluate the perceptual quality of image/video that contains structural and geometric related distortions in the context of immersive multimedia. We propose and explore a hierarchical framework of visual perception for image/video. Inspired by representation mechanism of the visual system, low-level (elementary visual features, e.g. edges), mid-level (intermediate visual patterns, e.g. codebook of edges), and higher-level (abstraction of visual input, e.g. category of distorted edges) image/video representations are investigated for quality assessment. The first part of this thesis addresses the low-level structure and texture related representations. A bilateral filter-based model is first introduced to qualify the respective role of structure and texture information in various assessment tasks (utility, quality . . . ). An image quality/video quality measure is proposed to quantify structure deformation spatially and temporally using new elastic metric. The second part explores mid-level structure related representations. A sketch-token based model and a context tree based model are presented in this part for the image and video quality evaluation. The third part explores higher-level structure related representations. Two machine learning approaches are proposed to learn higher-level representation: a convolutional sparse coding based and a generative adversarial network. Along the thesis, experiments an user studies have been conducted on different databases for different applications where special structure related distortions are observed (FTV, multi-view rendering, omni directional imaging . . . )

Abstract:
La création des vidéos panoramiques de haute qualité pour des contenus immersifs en VR est généralement faite à l'aide d'un appareil doté de plusieurs caméras couvrant une scène cible. Malheureusement, cette configuration introduit à la fois des artefacts spatiaux et temporels dus à la différence entre les centres optiques et à la synchronisation imparfaite. Les mesures de qualité d'image traditionnelles ne peuvent pas être utilisées pour évaluer la qualité de ces vidéos, en raison de leur incapacité à capturer des distorsions géométriques. Dans cette thèse, nous proposons des méthodes pour l'évaluation objective des vidéos panoramiques basées sur le flux optique et la saillance visuelle. Nous validons cette métrique avec une étude centrée sur l'homme qui combine l'annotation d'erreurs percues et l'eye-tracking.Un défi important pour mesurer la qualité des vidéos panoramiques est le manque d'une vérité-terrain. Nous avons étudié l'utilisation des vidéos originales comme référence pour le panorama de sortie. Nous notons que cette approche n'est pas directement applicable, car chaque pixel du panorama final peut avoir une à $N$ sources correspondant à $N$ vidéos d'entrée avec des régions se chevauchant. Nous montrons que ce problème peut être résolu en calculant l'écart type des déplacements de tous les pixels sources à partir du déplacement du panorama en tant que mesure de la distorsion. Cela permet de comparer la différence de mouvement entre deux images données dans les vidéos originales et le mouvement dans le panorama final. Les cartes de saillance basées sur la perception humaine sont utilisées pour pondérer la carte de distorsion pour un filtrage plus précis.Cette méthode a été validée par une étude centrée sur l'homme utilisant une expérience empirique. L'expérience visait à déterminer si les humains et la métrique d'évaluation détectaient et mesuraient les mêmes erreurs, et à explorer quelles erreurs sont les plus importantes pour les humains lorsqu'ils regardent une vidéo panoramique.Les méthodes décrites ont été testées et validées et fournissent des résultats intéressants en ce qui concerne la perception humaine pour les mesures de qualité. Ils ouvrent également la voie à de nouvelles méthodes d'optimisation de l'assemblage vidéo, guidées par ces mesures de qualité
High quality panoramic videos for immersive VR content are commonly created using a rig with multiple cameras covering a target scene. Unfortunately, this setup introduces both spatial and temporal artifacts due to the difference in optical centers as well as the imperfect synchronization. Traditional image quality metrics cannot be used to assess the quality of such videos, due to their inability to capture geometric distortions. In this thesis, we propose methods for the objective assessment of panoramic videos based on optical flow and visual salience. We validate this metric with a human-centered study that combines human error annotation and eye-tracking.An important challenge in measuring quality for panoramic videos is the lack of ground truth. We have investigated the use of the original videos as a reference for the output panorama. We note that this approach is not directly applicable, because each pixel in the final panorama can have one to N sources corresponding to N input videos with overlapping regions. We show that this problem can be solved by calculating the standard deviation of displacements of all source pixels from the displacement of the panorama as a measure of distortion. This makes it possible to compare the difference in motion between two given frames in the original videos and motion in the final panorama. Salience maps based on human perception are used to weight the distortion map for more accurate filtering.This method was validated with a human-centered study using an empirical experiment. The experiment was designed to investigate whether humans and the evaluation metric detect and measure the same errors, and to explore which errors are more salient to humans when watching a panoramic video.The methods described have been tested and validated and they provide interesting findings regarding human-based perception for quality metrics. They also open the way to new methods for optimizing video stitching guided by those quality metrics

Abstract:
GPS technology has been embedded into portable, low-cost electronic devices nowadays to track the movements of mobile objects. This implication has greatly impacted the transportation field by creating a novel and rich source of traffic data on the road network. Although the promise offered by GPS devices to overcome problems like underreporting, respondent fatigue, inaccuracies and other human errors in data collection is significant; the technology is still relatively new that it raises many issues for potential users. These issues tend to revolve around the following areas: reliability, data processing and the related application. This thesis aims to study the GPS tracking form the methodological, technical and practical aspects. It first evaluates the reliability of GPS based traffic data based on data from an experiment containing three different traffic modes (car, bike and bus) traveling along the road network. It then outline the general procedure for processing GPS tracking data and discuss related issues that are uncovered by using real-world GPS tracking data of 316 cars. Thirdly, it investigates the influence of road network density in finding optimal location for enhancing travel efficiency and decreasing travel cost. The results show that the geographical positioning is reliable. Velocity is slightly underestimated, whereas altitude measurements are unreliable.Post processing techniques with auxiliary information is found necessary and important when solving the inaccuracy of GPS data. The densities of the road network influence the finding of optimal locations. The influence will stabilize at a certain level and do not deteriorate when the node density is higher.

Abstract:
Criticism of media speech is one of the directions in media linguistics based on the assessment of the quality of speech activity in the mass media. Within the framework of this direction, several subdisciplines have already been formed, each of which has its own approaches to the development of problems of the norm and the assessment of compliance with it. The manual contains two sections. The first one is devoted to the praxiolinguistic criticism of media speech. It shows how the use of the axiological scale of speech behavior in the media "effectively — permissible (unsuccessful — unacceptable — prohibited)" can assess the quality of business, art and sports journalistic discourse. The second section explains how to assess conflict media and diagnose speech crimes in the media. In the course of working with the book, students are taught to separate professional and non—professional speech in the media, to assess the quality of language and speech in media texts, or rather, the quality of the selection of language tools and speech resources, correlating the result of journalistic activity with social, general cultural language and speech norms — appropriate, permissive, binding, prohibiting. The work with the manual is designed to form eco-speech competence in the media and contributes to the formation of speech media literacy. Meets the requirements of the federal state educational standards of higher education of the latest generation. For students of educational departments studying in the areas of "Journalism", "Advertising" and "Public Relations".

Abstract:
This book develops the theme of teaching Italian abroad, starting from the awareness of the motivations for foreign students to study the Italian language and the different methodological procedures in order to teach it.For this purpose, the book focuses on the problems concerning the training of teachers of Italian to foreigners and on the many aspects of teaching Italian in order to propose both a methodological reflection on the edulinguistic project and educational solutions aimed at improving the quality of the students’ learning.Part 1The first part focuses on edulinguistic teaching vision for the learning of the Italian language as a foreign language based upon the principles of the Humanistic Approach.1. Teaching Italian Language Abroad: Institutional Language Policy and StrategiesThis chapter focuses on the situation of Italian foreign language teaching in the world. It also describes the linguistic policy for the promotion of Italian languages abroad adopted by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the results obtained as the number of students involved in the different geographic areas.2. Teaching Trainer Courses as a Key Factor to Improve the Quality of Teaching Italian AbroadIn this chapter teaching trainer courses for Italian language teachers are considered as a part of a strategy to increase the students’ motivations and the learning process.3. Students as a Customer vs Students as a PersonLinguistic education and the Humanistic Approach aim to develop the students’ potential and create an autonomous language personality. Therefore, in this chapter, we outline a teaching perspective that considers the student as a person at the centre of teaching and learning Italian process.Part 2In the second part teaching methodologies to improve the quality of teaching and learning Italian language to foreigners are described.4. Effective Cooperative Learning Strategies to Teach Italian as a Foreign LanguageExamples of cooperative learning are given to illustrate how the following teaching methodology is possible in teaching Italian language even if it demands strong research and clear guidance for educators.5. How to Teach Italian Grammar to ForeignersThis chapter examines the existing research about using a deductive form of teaching grammar versus using an inductive form of teaching it.6. Teaching Italian Through Literature, Movies and CartoonsIn this chapter, different media and sources to teach Italian are examined. Using both classic and digital tools, students can explore the Italian language and culture from different points of view, developing a strategy to revisit thinking and to collaborate with others during the reading of classic texts or reading a cartoon.7. Humanistic Testing and Assessment for Italian as a Foreign LanguageFrom a Humanistic point of view, in this chapter, testing and assessment are considered as potential and relevant instruments to measure the progress and performance of individual students of Italian language.8. How to Plan and Use an Environment to Teach Italian to ForeignersThis chapter focuses on learning space to teach Italian to foreigners. The main aim is to provide practical advice and support to the teachers of Italian language schools that are going to explore how to develop and adapt learning spaces to the teaching activities and the students’ needs.

Abstract:
The principal goals of editing biomedical publications are to select, improve, and disseminate information that will advance the art and science of the discipline covered by the publication. For example, biomedical publications are a major source of information for the improvement of medical care. In addition to initial transmission to readers at the time of publication, information from journal articles is often carried by the public media. Published articles influence educators and opinion leaders, who transmit the information to many persons who do not read the original publications. Medical journal articles can also be subsequently accessed by clinicians and researchers seeking information about particular topics. Such searches are facilitated by online search engines (see 25.0, Resources) and provide the information essential to practicing evidence-based medicine,1 in which patient-care decisions are informed by acquiring and assessing the relevant medical literature. These myriad uses of biomedical literature indicate the importance of the procedures to improve quality involved in editorial assessment and processing...

How is journalism training in Europe accredited and assessed? State organisations and the media industry influence the objectives, content and structures of such training through their accreditation. They set quality standards and, at the same time, interfere in its autonomy. Through studies of twelve countries, this volume shows how accreditation influences journalism training in Finland, Germany, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Switzerland, Russia, Georgia, France, Spain, Hungary and Romania. The second part of the book provides a comparative analysis of these studies, deals with the ACEJMC’s more than seventy years of experience in journalism studies accreditation in the USA and shows how the interdisciplinary accreditation of journalism study programmes is organised in Europe.

The Coping with Cancer Study is a multicenter, prospective, longitudinal observational study that examines the association between religious coping strategies and end-of-life care outcomes in patients with advanced cancer. Baseline interviews were performed to assess religious coping and other related variables. Patients were followed until death, a median of 122 days after baseline assessment. Logistic regression analyses showed a significant association between higher positive religious coping with increased preference of aggressive care at the end-of-life. Subsequent analyses from the same study showed that patients who expressed high spiritual support only from religious communities were less likely to receive hospice and more likely to receive aggressive end-of-life measures including dying in an intensive care unit. This effect was reverse in spiritual/religious care and was provided by the medical team.

In addition, syndromic surveillance, the (near) real-time collection of data has become increasingly used, facilitated by increasing use of digital data collection within health care settings and the availability of other digital data sources (e.g. social media). Other surveillance types include event-based surveillance (e.g. during major sporting events), and environmental surveillance, including food related disease, air pollution and chemical hazards. The chapter finally brings these together in integrated surveillance and the use of such surveillance in health planning and assessment.

Abstract:
Stress echocardiography has evolved over the last 30 years but image interpretation remains subjective and burdened by the operator’s experience. The objective operator-independent assessment of myocardial ischaemia during stress echocardiography remains a technological challenge. Still, adequate quality of two-dimensional images remains a prerequisite to successful quantitative analysis, even using Doppler and non-Doppler based techniques. No new technology has proved to have a higher diagnostic accuracy than conventional visual wall motion analysis. Tissue Doppler imaging and derivatives may reduce inter-observer variability, but still require a dedicated learning curve and special expertise. The development of contrast media in echocardiography has been slow. In the past decade, transpulmonary contrast agents have become commercially available for clinical use. The approved indication for the use of contrast echocardiography currently lies in improving endocardial border delineation in patients in whom adequate imaging is difficult or suboptimal. Real-time three-dimensional echocardiography is potentially useful but limited by low spatial and temporal resolution. It is possible that these technologies may serve as an adjunct to expert visual assessment of wall motion. At present, these quantitative methods require further validation and simplification of analysis techniques.

Abstract:
In this chapter, first, we explain media synchronization control. Next, we make a survey of media synchronization control techniques and classify the techniques. Also, we compare group synchronization control schemes. Then, we propose new control called the dynamic local lag control in joint musical performance which has severe requirements on high quality of media synchronization and high interactivity. In the performance, multiple users play their respective same or different types of musical instruments together. However, the media synchronization quality and interactivity may seriously be deteriorated owing to the network delay. By Quality of Experience (QoE) assessment, we demonstrate that the new control can achieve high quality of media synchronization and keep the interactivity high. Finally, we discuss the future directions of media synchronization control.
