1 Introduct ion Humanoid robots which share the space and environments with human, should have compliance. There are two approaches to realize the robot compliance. One is active compliance based on control theories on which many researches have heen reported [1],,~[6], the other is passive compliance adopting the mechanical elasticity. The former is known to have a. limited performance in high...

The effectiveness of household water treatment (HWT) at reducing diarrheal disease is related to the efficacy of the HWT method at removing pathogens, how people comply with HWT, and the relative contributions of other pathogen exposure routes. We define compliance with HWT as the proportion of drinking water treated by a community. Although many HWT methods are efficacious at removing or inact...

BACKGROUND Compliance is a critical issue for parental questionnaires in school based epidemiological surveys and high compliance is difficult to achieve. The objective of this study was to determine trends and factors associated with parental questionnaire compliance during respiratory health surveys of school children in Merseyside between 1991 and 2006. METHODS Four cross-sectional respira...

AIMS Non-compliance in patients with heart failure (HF) contributes to worsening HF symptoms and may lead to hospitalization. Several smaller studies have examined compliance in HF, but all were limited as they only studied either the individual components of compliance and its related factors or several aspects of compliance without studying the related factors. The aims of this study were to ...

This study investigated the factors influencing SME compliance with regulation on use of IT in South Africa.

The results show that cost of compliance was the main influencing factor and that both rural and urban SMEs make limited effort to develop po...

Today’s enterprises demand a high degree of compliance of business processes to meet laws and regulations, such as Sarbanes-Oxley and Basel II. Compliance should be enforced during all phases of business process lifecycle, from the phases of analysis and design to deployment, monitoring and evaluation. In this paper, a taxonomy of compliance constraints for business processes is introduced base...

Today′s dynamically changing business and compliance environment demand enterprises to continuously ensure their compliance with various laws, regulations and standards. Several business studies have concluded that compliance management is one of the main challenges companies face nowadays. Runtime compliance monitoring is of utmost importance for compliance assurance as during the prior design...

Tactile displays are used to provide tactile feedback in telemanipulation or virtual reality. One aim in further developments is the miniaturisation of tactile displays for incorporation into dataand/or force feedback gloves. This enables the combination of tactile and kinesthetic feedback. A main disadvantage of many tactile displays with a large number of stimulator elements is their large vo...

Improving hand hygiene from high to very high compliance has not been documented to decrease healthcare-associated infections. We conducted longitudinal analyses during 2013-2015 in an 853-bed hospital and observed a significantly increased hand hygiene compliance rate (p<0.001) and a significantly decreased healthcare-associated infection rate (p = 0.0066).
