Abstract: One of the biggest problems in hospitals today is the increase of costs associated with the treatment of patients, especially in the case of the elderly. This trend makes it necessary to adopt new strategies in order to reduce such costs and, at the same time, maintain high levels of care that is provided to patients. One way to reduce such costs is by moving patients to non-specialised areas or, if possible, to his/her home as soon as possible. In this paper we present a remote monitoring system capable of monitoring the state of a patient 24 hours a day, 7 days a week through the analysis of parameters extracted from the electrocardiographic signal (ECG) and reporting any anomaly to the hospital. One important feature of the system is its flexibility for providing users with access to monitoring information. In order to do so, the system is equipped with two complementary interfaces, being capable of giving integral access to monitoring information at any time, any place and from any location in an optimal manner., Presented at Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (23rd) held in Istanbul, Turkey on 25-28 Oct 2001.

Abstract: This report results from a contract tasking Universidae De Santiago De Compostela as follows: The contractor will investigate techniques of simulated annealing and/or genetic algorithms of an N-element array to synthesize a desirable far-field electromagnetic radiation pattern. The approach will take into account polarization, sidelobe topography, dynamic range ratio in the aperture distribution, and the bandwidth for both linear and planar array pattern synthesis. The contractor will consider infinite and finite scatterers, and conduct a comparative study on the results obtained using near-field nulling and those obtained using direct synthesis in the presence of the scatterers.

Abstract: Made available in DSpace on 2021-06-25T15:08:19Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2021-03-09 Wellcome Trust From 1985 to 2016, the prevalence of underweight decreased, and that of obesity and severe obesity increased, in most regions, with significant variation in the magnitude of these changes across regions. We investigated how much change in mean body mass index (BMI) explains changes in the prevalence of underweight, obesity, and severe obesity in different regions using data from 2896 population-based studies with 187 million participants. Changes in the prevalence of underweight and total obesity, and to a lesser extent severe obesity, are largely driven by shifts in the distribution of BMI, with smaller contributions from changes in the shape of the distribution. In East and Southeast Asia and sub-Saharan Africa, the underweight tail of the BMI distribution was left behind as the distribution shifted. There is a need for policies that address all forms of malnutrition by making healthy foods accessible and affordable, while restricting unhealthy foods through fiscal and regulatory restrictions.

Abstract: Made available in DSpace on 2018-11-26T20:04:45Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2017-12-16 Wellcome Trust AstraZeneca Background Underweight, overweight, and obesity in childhood and adolescence are associated with adverse health consequences throughout the life-course. Our aim was to estimate worldwide trends in mean body-mass index (BMI) and a comprehensive set of BMI categories that cover underweight to obesity in children and adolescents, and to compare trends with those of adults. Methods We pooled 2416 population-based studies with measurements of height and weight on 128.9 million participants aged 5 years and older, including 31.5 million aged 5-19 years. We used a Bayesian hierarchical model to estimate trends from 1975 to 2016 in 200 countries for mean BMI and for prevalence of BMI in the following categories for children and adolescents aged 5-19 years: more than 2 SD below the median of the WHO growth reference for children and adolescents (referred to as moderate and severe underweight hereafter), 2 SD to more than 1 SD below the median (mild underweight), 1 SD below the median to 1 SD above the median (healthy weight), more than 1 SD to 2 SD above the median (overweight but not obese), and more than 2 SD above the median (obesity). Findings Regional change in age-standardised mean BMI in girls from 1975 to 2016 ranged from virtually no change (-0.01 kg/m (2) per decade; 95% credible interval -0.42 to 0.39, posterior probability [PP] of the observed decrease being a true decrease= 0.5098) in eastern Europe to an increase of 1.00 kg/m(2) per decade (0.69-1.35, PP> 0.9999) in central Latin America and an increase of 0.95 kg/m (2) per decade (0.64-1.25, PP> 0.9999) in Polynesia and Micronesia. The range for boys was from a non-significant increase of 0.09 kg/m(2) per decade (-0.33 to 0.49, PP= 0.6926) in eastern Europe to an increase of 0.77 kg/m (2) per decade (0.50-1.06, PP> 0.9999) in Polynesia and Micronesia. Trends in mean BMI have recently flattened in northwestern Europe and the high-income English-speaking and Asia-Pacific regions for both sexes, southwestern Europe for boys, and central and Andean Latin America for girls. By contrast, the rise in BMI has accelerated in east and south Asia for both sexes, and southeast Asia for boys. Global age-standardised prevalence of obesity increased from 0.7% (0.4-1.2) in 1975 to 5.6% (4.8-6.5) in 2016 in girls, and from 0.9% (0.5-1.3) in 1975 to 7.8% (6.7-9.1) in 2016 in boys; the prevalence of moderate and severe underweight decreased from 9.2% (6.0-12.9) in 1975 to 8.4% (6.8-10.1) in 2016 in girls and from 14.8% (10.4-19.5) in 1975 to 12.4% (10.3-14.5) in 2016 in boys. Prevalence of moderate and severe underweight was highest in India, at 22.7% (16.7-29.6) among girls and 30.7% (23.5-38.0) among boys. Prevalence of obesity was more than 30% in girls in Nauru, the Cook Islands, and Palau; and boys in the Cook Islands, Nauru, Palau, Niue, and American Samoa in 2016. Prevalence of obesity was about 20% or more in several countries in Polynesia and Micronesia, the Middle East and north Africa, the Caribbean, and the USA. In 2016, 75 (44-117) million girls and 117 (70-178) million boys worldwide were moderately or severely underweight. In the same year, 50 (24-89) million girls and 74 (39-125) million boys worldwide were obese. Interpretation The rising trends in children's and adolescents' BMI have plateaued in many high-income countries, albeit at high levels, but have accelerated in parts of Asia, with trends no longer correlated with those of adults.

6. Reasoning with truth values on compacted fuzzy chained rules.

Author: Bugarin AJ and Barro S
Abstract: In this paper, we consider the problem of executing a fuzzy knowledge base (FKB) with rule chaining. The inference process used as starting point is the one based on forward reasoning functions which, obtained from the compositional rule of inference, permits performing the execution of rules in the truth space. This way the process is totally independent from the universes of discourse in which the different variables are defined, allowing a homogeneous treatment for all the variables in the FKB. The execution of the rules is interpreted as the "propagation" of linguistic truth values of the linguistic truth variable that reflect the linguistic degree of fulfillment of each of the propositions in the rules. This execution process is analyzed in two fields of application: control systems, where it is customary to assume t-norm operators as implication functions, and the aggregation process is implemented through the maximum operator and expert systems applications, where other implication functions may be needed and t-norm operators are generally used as aggregation operators. For both of these situations, we present a compaction mechanism which allows a noticeable part of the operations to be performed a priori, thus achieving an important computation time saving.
