conclusions this study indicated that there are major indicators affecting oral health status and it was believed that current study results and suggestions can pave the way for health care planners and policymakers. results the obtained results showed that the average dmft was 7.91 ± 3.78 and one third of the students had symptoms of gingival inflammation, whereas only five percent of them did...

Though attention to evaluating human-robot interfaces has increased in recent years, there are relatively few reports of using evaluation tools during the development of human-robot interaction (HRI) systems to gauge and improve their designs— possibly due to a shortage of suitable evaluation techniques. Heuristic evaluation is a technique suitable for such applications that has become popular ...

The purpose of this paper is to draw upon the vast bank of Human Factors Research and indicate how the existing results may be applied to the field of HumanRobotic interfaces (HRIs). HRI development tends to be an after thought, as researchers approach the problem from an engineering perspective. Such a perspective implies that the HRI is designed and developed after the majority of the robotic...

To test the efficacy of passive antibody for protecting susceptible pregnant women who have been exposed to rubella high-titre human rubella immunoglobulin (HRI) was given to 20 seronegative male adult volunteers simultaneously with rubella vaccine. After receiving the intramuscular injections of HRI (750 mg of IgG) and vaccine (10(3 . 92) median tissue culture dose, Wistar RA27/3 subcutaneousl...

background: despite the enhancement in health outcomes worldwide, health inequity and inequality is one of the most relevant topics both for health policy and public health. this research was designed to decompose the health inequality of people living in shiraz, south-west iran. methods: data were obtained from a multistage-sample survey conducted in shiraz from april to may 2012, to find dete...

background: in this study, we examined the status of korean women’s alcohol consumption and identified the physical changes they undergo according to the level of consumption. the results of this study may thus be used as raw data to effectively control women’ drinking habits. methods: this study consists of a secondary analysis using data from female participants in the 6 th korea national hea...

The safety involved in Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) is an important issue. This is the key point for the increase or decrease in HRI activity. A novel solution concerning the safety of HRI is proposed. The solution considers the near future human intentions. A set of possible human intentions is known to the robot. The robot also knows the places that can be visited by the interacting human ac...

Human-robot interaction (HRI) has been maturing in tandem with robots’ commercial success. In the last few years HRI researchers have been adopting—and sometimes adapting—human-computer interaction (HCI) evaluation techniques to assess the efficiency and intuitiveness of HRI designs. For example, Adams (2005) used Goal Directed Task Analysis to determine the interaction needs of officers from t...
