This thesis presents the theory and design of a sensor that detects a when a finger is pressed by visually examining a user's fingernail coloration. Unlike other finger-based controllers that primarily depend on covering the finger pad, this method of sensing allows for accurate measurements without impairing a user's tactile sense. First the color change of a fingernail is examined based on the underlying biological mechanisms of the finger. Then the hue, saturation, and value (HSV) coordinates of videos of the fingernails are analyzed in three different locations; the entire image, a segment of the rear of the fingernail, and a segment of the tip of the fingernail. The front of the fingernail, where a white band develops when pressure is applied to the finger, proved to have statistically significant increases in saturation and value for all test subjects. With these results a simple sensor was designed and tested that accurately sensed finger presses, however with a significant time lag. Finally, the mechanical design of such a sensor was proposed, leaving room for further study and development.

Повний текст джерелаSuicide is a major public health problem in France, with nearly 10,000 premature deaths each year. Studying the determinants of suicide is complex. It is a multi-factorial phenomenon, which can be influenced by personal and/or environmental, biomedical and/or socio-economic factors. The presence of diseases (psychiatric or physical) in the individual plays an important role. Psychiatric pathologies can be complicated by suicidal processes (suicidal ideation, which may be followed by suicidal behaviour and then death by suicide). For physical diseases, the disease can have a significant impact on the quality of life of the individual, favouring suicidal processes, and thus death by suicide. Psychiatric disorders can thus worsen physical illnesses and be a step towards the occurrence of suicidal processes. Physical diseases can also occur in individuals suffering from psychiatric disorders, and can trigger suicidal processes. For both psychiatric and physical diseases, suicidal processes can also be the consequence of adverse effects of drug treatments. In such cases, it is often difficult to disentangle the role of the treatment and that of the pathology being treated. The aim of this thesis was to study the complex relationships between diseases and suicide death, using data from the French National Health Data System (SNDS)

"Transdisciplinarity Within the North American Climate Change Mitigation Research Community, Specifically the Carbon Dioxide Capture, Transportation, Utilization and Storage Community." Thesis, California Institute of Integral Studies, 2017. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=10276706.
Повний текст джерелаThis research investigates the existence of and potential challenges to the development of a transdisciplinary approach to the climate change mitigation technology research focusing on carbon dioxide capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) in North America. The unprecedented challenge of global climate change is one that invites a transdisciplinary approach. The challenge of climate change mitigation requires an understanding of multiple disciplines, as well as the role that complexity, post-normal or post-modern science, and uncertainty play in combining these various disciplines.
This research followed the general discourse of transdisciplinarity as described by Klein (2014) and Augsburg (2016) which describe it as using transcendence, problem solving, and transgression to address wicked, complex societal problems, and as taught by California School of Transdisciplinarity, where the research focuses on sustainability in the age of post-normal science (Funtowicz & Ravetz, 1993).
Through the use of electronic surveys and semi-structured interviews, members of the North American climate change mitigation research community shared their views and understanding of transdisciplinarity (Kvale & Brinkmann, 2009). The data indicate that much of the research currently being conducted by members of the North American CCUS research community is in fact transdisciplinary. What is most intriguing is the manner in which researchers arrived at their current understanding of transdisciplinarity, which is in many cases without any foreknowledge or use of the term transdisciplinary.
The data reveals that in many cases the researchers now understand that this transdisciplinary approach is borne out of personal beliefs or emotion, social or societal aspects, their educational process, the way in which they communicate, and in most cases, the CCUS research itself, that require this transdisciplinary approach, but had never thought about giving it a name or understanding its origin or dimensions. Much of this new knowledge has come from the analysis and understanding of the Tier 1, Tier 2 and Emergent traits of the transdisciplinarian.

Повний текст джерелаOBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to analyze the impact of patient and hospital characteristics as well as selected comorbidities on inpatient mortality and charges in pediatric HSCT. We have determined the top 25 comorbidities reported during all inpatient stays for HSCT as well as for those stays ending in mortality. METHODS: All data was extracted from the AHRQ KID databases for the years 1997, 2000, 2003, and 2006. Two regression analyses were performed to determine the contribution of various independent variables on mortality and charges. Subjects of this study included all cases of HSCT reported in the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (HCUP) KID as ICD-9 41.XX. RESULTS: Factors accounting for larger increases in cost included death during hospital stay, the development of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), pneumonia, and length of stay (LOS). The largest decreases in charges were seen for patients coming from a small or “micropolitan” location, patients cared for in teaching hospitals, and in hospitals with large bedsizes. Variables associated with increased risk of mortality on linear regression included development of DIC, sepsis, or pneumonia. CONCLUSION: Further study relating to HSCT is necessary to determine the contribution of specific comorbidities to mortality and charges. Importantly, DIC is associated with both greater risk of mortality and greater charges. It would be prudent to recommend increased monitoring and early treatment for DIC based on these results.

Повний текст джерелаL’objectiu d’aquesta tesi era investigar com les comunitats microbianes del sediment dels rius Mediterranis utilitzaven la matèria orgànica dissolta a diferents escales espacials i temporals. Els resultats dels dos experiments de camp, van demostrar que tant la qualitat i l’origen de la matèria orgànica dissolta (al·lòcton versus autòcton) com els canvis hidrològics (sequera versus cabal mitjà) clarament modificaven l’activitat i la composició del biofilm. D’altra banda, els dos experiments de laboratori van mostrar primer que la disminució de l’oxigen dissolt en profunditat determinava la degradació microbiana de la matèria orgànica. I segon, com l’escalfament de l’aigua feia augmentar l’heterotròfia de les comunitats microbianes i modificava clarament l’estructura de la xarxa tròfica. En conclusió aquesta tesi demostra que l’estructura i el funcionament dels biofilms dels sediments varia espacial i temporalment i són sensibles a l’augment de la contaminació de l’aigua i els efectes del canvi climàtic global.

Повний текст джерелаThough globally recognised as ecosystems of ecological, biological and economical
remarkable importance, these ecotone formations are characterised by a continuously
increasing anthropization. However, very little studies have been focused on the impact of
various anthropogenic activities on the mangrove vegetation structure.
We have firstly (a) assessed the commercial and subsistence utilization of mangrove
wood products in the Littoral region (Cameroon estuary). Then, we have confronted the
subsistence usages of mangrove wood products in the Southern region (close to the mouth of
the Nyong River and Mpalla village (Kribi)) in comparison with the Littoral region. By doing,
we have compared the local residents‟ perceptions on environmental changes that occurred
within the two regional mangrove forests. Also, we have (c) studied the structural dynamic of
mangrove vegetation neighbouring the Douala city (Cameroon). Always in the vicinity of this
town, we have (d) reconstructed the original structure of largely disturbed mangrove forests.
Moreover, we have (e) map the mangrove structure in a non peri-urban setting located within
the Cameroon estuary. Here, we have finally (f) analysed the spatial distribution of a black
mangrove namely Avicennia germinans (L.) Stearn.
Our results underlined an excessive utilization of mangrove wood products in the
Cameroon estuary. We have showed that the frequency of mangrove harvesting was relatively
fewer in Kribi (Mpalla) and the mouth of the Nyong River. The local people inhabiting these
two localities perceived mangroves as less degraded areas. In contrast, those established
within the Cameroon estuary stated that mangroves were largely disturbed. When combining
the local people statements with our field observations, we recorded that it a complex mix of
causes (e.i. clear-felled corridors, agriculture, sand and gravel extraction, over-harvesting and
anarchic urbanization) that have led to the largely degradation (vegetation and sediment) of
the peri-urban mangroves in Cameroon. A diachronic analysis (1974, 2003, 2009) of their
coverage revealed that over the 35-year period, mangrove had decreases in cover of 53.16%
around Douala. We have also showed that in the peri-urban settings, wood harvesting was
commonly applied on the structurally more complex (highly dense stands neighbouring the
habitations) mangrove forests (Mboussa Essengue) and, in a lesser extent, on the structurally
more developed mangrove stands (fewer dense stands faraway from Douala). On the other
hand, the mapping analysis of the non peri-urban mangroves (distant from Douala) has
revealed that the structure of these intertidal forests was relatively less impacted. In the
Cameroon estuary, we also showed that A. germinans trees were randomly distributed on
almost one-half of the sampling plots and clumped at some scales on the remaining plots.
Accordingly, this species might play a significant role in the recovery process of artificial
gaps found in the non peri-urban areas.
The multi-disciplinary approach employed in this study has allowed a better
understanding of the direct and indirect impacts of anthropogenic activities on the mangrove
vegetation structure in Cameroon. These results constitute a fundamental data base quite
useful for the multi-temporal monitoring of these littoral ecosystems perpetually disturbed.
The application of similar approach in other mangroves facing high anthropogenic pressures
appears important.

The groundwater resources are abundant in the Pingtung Plain. As the economy grows rapidly and social patterns change, the demand for water supply increases as well. Due to the better quality of groundwater resources, the agriculture with the flourishing development in various industries has boomed since the retrocession of Taiwan. A large amount of groundwater resources has been used and become important issues to water resources development in Pingtung Plain. There are several reasons affecting groundwater resources in Pingtung Plain, particularly the recharge area has been reduced due to land development and construction that lead to shrunk number of rivers, preventing groundwater to be recharged with the maximum amount on a surface runoff to river. The annual volume of groundwater recharged to the middle fan has been extracted to use by agricultural irrigation and inland freshwater aquaculture farming, while the recharge water amount flowing into the distal fan is reduced. The result of heavily centralized groundwater extraction by the coastal aquaculture use was then the serious land subsidence occurred at the distal fan region. The thesis was mainly discussed the Pingtung Plain from the time when Taiwan Sugar Corporation developed groundwater resources since 1950 as of today by organizing the development history and research reports on groundwater resources, in attempt to present the transformation of groundwater development in the Pingtung Plain. The thesis was provided subsequent references for personnel working with groundwater resources with full integration of history and data that the Government and the public can understand the changes of groundwater for agricultural use in the plain. The thesis was to estimate the annually required depth of groundwater for farmed fish or shrimp species, i.e. freshwater shrimp annual water requirement of 142,240 m3/ha, eels annual water requirement of 398,700 m3/ha, other freshwater fish requirement 89,400 m3/ha in average, and grouper and other seawater fish annual requirement 152,940 m3/ha in average and seawater shrimp annual water requirement of 164,420 m3/ha. For Taiwan Sugar Corporation, annual depth of 18,600 m3/ha during the sugarcane growing stage in autumn time, whereas the annual demand for water is 17,200 m3/ha for the spring time and the perennial root requires 19,100 m3/ha in annual.

ABSTRACT This study aims to target Yuanliao Village as the study area by making use of Taiwan Baotu of the Japanese Occupation Period, the map around 1960, the map in 2006, the aerial photograph in 2015, the census registration and land administration, the field survey method, the interview method as well as collecting the related literature to explore the land development & utilization and change of settlements in Yualiao Village. We use the library information and the relevant literature data to compare the methods of the qualitative research of temporal and spatial development discrepancy and the participative & observation research, from which we find, analyze and investigate the changes of settlements and land utilization of Yuanliao Village far from the Japanese Occupation Period through to 1989, 1998 and 2004, to see how it transits the space from the implementation of the space during the development and utilization of the government and the private sectors, further represents the meaning of the interaction between settlement and land and finally formulates the new looks of settlement changes and land utilization of Yuanliao Village.It is found from the study results that due to the industrialization, the landscape of Yuanliao Village goes through the development and utilization in a way from simplification to multiplicity. Both the governmental sectors and private enterprises strive hard for developing the land of Yuanliao Village. Seeing that the residents of Yuanliao Village keep cultivating this land, they, along with the government, also make strenuous endeavors in protecting the natural landscape resources from the pollution of industrialized development.The land where the earliest immigrants of the Han ethnic group immigrated, reclaimed and acquired includes such settlements as Wayaokou, Tienliao, etc., much farer from the places where the Pingpu Tribe began to reclaim. The southern zone of fan tip in Yuanliao Village is the location of shrine of Chiateng Shrine of Pingpu Tribe. Under the tribal policy of wasteland openness in Ching Dynasty, the Pingpu Tribe gradually lost the location of shrine and it then became the settlement of the Han immigrants. Yuanliao Village boasts of the geographical adequacy and excellent natural conditions, so it turned out a granary of grain production at that time. Owing to the double material demands from people’s livelihood and economy, Yuanliao Village has been developed step by step as the convergence of grain production. At the initial stage after the War, the agricultural production of Yuanliao Village makes progress incessantly. It also drove the development of the settlements and the agricultural mechanism of the land utilization. In 1964, the government-planned economic reconstructions and the import-substituted industrial development took effect, leading to the industrial productivity exceeding the agricultural one. In order toimprove the lower price of farming products and the shortage of the labor force, the agriculture transformed to be a diversified, part-time and crude farming form. Accordingly the agricultural activities in the area of Yuanliao Village transited into a market-based crops farming pattern. Consequently the landscape in the settlements of this area was liable to change, depending on the demands of the market economy. The development of the settlements in Yuanliao Area still relied on the agricultural development of each settlement. On the contrary, the recession of development of the agricultural economy resulted in the stagnancy of the settlement development. After 1990s, thanks to the agricultural production function as a central place, Yuanliao Village can still resort to the agricultural economy to squeeze the employment opportunities and absorb the remaining labor of each settlement. However, the transition of its exportation place and decline of the settlement farming economy also jointly and severally affected the driving force of the settlement growth.After 2010s, the economic policy of the government lacked promotion for the agricultural industry of the Pingtung Plain. It influenced the overall development of the settlements in Yuanliao Village. Yuanliao Village played a role as the central place of agricultural economic function in the areas southern to the alluvial fan tip of the Linpien Stream. The agricultural productivity of its inner settlements and the adjacent townships reduced by degrees. The development of transportation, agriculture and servicing function of Yuanliao Village as a central place was affected in terms of lack of motive power for growth.The lifestyle of the settlements in the farming villages mostly remained as a type of agricultural production. Under the influence of the economic strategies of the commercialized crops, it moves towards the diversified and crude operation. The original simplified sugarcane and rice landscape of the agricultural village developed to be the agricultural landscape of the orchards, betel nuts and aquaculture fishery. The internal settlement development and the variance of the land utilization in Yuanliao Village testified the results of the local feedback from the process of the capitalization. It is not the case that the economic reconstruction and the national strength at each stage would follow the plan to move forward without cease. As time changes, the temporal and spatial distribution will demonstrate itself to create the dynamic look of the settlement development and the land utilization in Yuanliao Village. The launch of National Highway No. 3 in 2015 urged the agricultural economy of Yuanliao Village to start growing in the light of the appreciation of the land value, rapid shortening of the transportation time, upgrading of the agricultural industry and the increase of the resident population. Key Words: Yuanliao Village, Change and developmentof Settlements, Land Utilization, Agricultural Economy

Abstract Objectives: Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy is the most common treatment for upper urinary tract urolithiasis and also the highest outpatient payment unit for medical equipment usage. The aim of this study was determinate whether the urologist providing excessive ESWL after the reimbursement of ESWL changed since Jan. 1st, 2007 and to prove the “supplier-induced demand (SID)” hypothesis. Materials and Methods: The research sample was collected from LHID 2005 (Longitudinal Health Insurance Database 2005) and the study period was during 2000-2013. Prevalence of upper tract urolithiasis, demographic characteristics of stone patients and treatment trends were analyzed. Generalized linear model was used to for trends analysis after the imbursement changed. Result: Patients of upper urinary tract stone increased from 4303 in 2000 to 5887 in 2013, resulting in a 36.8% increase. From 2000 to 2013, patients diagnosed with urinary tract stone, the percent who received ESWL increased from 64% to 68%, those received URS decreased from 32% to 29.5% nd those received open surgery decreased from 1.3% to 0.3%. Utility of ESWL increased most obviously in the level of region hospitals. This research uses general linear model for trend analysis and shows ESWL use increased after reimbursement change in 2007 with statistically significant. Conclusions: In the face of income shock after reimbursement change, urologist increased the utilization of ESWL by both lowering the treatment indication and prolonging the treatment course, especially in level of region hospitals and district hospitals.
