Active ageing level and its discrepancy in different regions (Bangkok, Central, North, Northeast, and South) of Thailand have been examined for prioritizing the policy agenda to be implemented. Attempt has been made to test preliminary active ageing models for Thai older persons and hence active ageing index (AAI, ranges from 0 to 1) has been estimated. Using nationally representative data and ...

Contactless RF-based sensing techniques are emerging as a viable means for building gesture recognition systems. While promising, existing solutions have poor generalization ability when targeting new users, environments or device deployment. They also often require multiple pairs of transceivers and large number training samples each target domain. These limitations either lead to cross-domain...
