In the present experimental study, it was investigated whether virtual groups, depending on their situational circumstances, were able to decide in favor of the more suitable problem-solving procedure for their situation. The situational circumstances were to either have the possibility to create a “knowledge and information awareness” approach or not, that is, an approach that provides to the ...

conclusions the current study revealed that the iranian nurses are exposed to a considerable risk of personal accomplishment. also, job burnout is in association with shift working and low job satisfaction level. in this regard, working pressure, type of job and income may affect job burnout. ergonomic interventional programs are recommended to improve the working conditions. methods this cross...

asthma  is a clinical syndrome  characterized by chronic  airway inflammation, airway responsiveness, and expiratory airflow limitation. nocturnal symptoms and decreases in lung function are common aspects of the asthma clinical syndrome. nocturnal symptoms also appear to be associated with asthma-related mortality. in addition to its importance to the regulation of human circadian rhythms, an ...

for most people iterance to hospital is a disturbing experience and expects that nurses be sensitive to patient's physical, emotional and social need at admission. whereas interrupt of sleep due to physical, psychological and social status damage, knowing about effective mechanisms in retention and disturbance of sleep – wake cycles help nurses to make natural criteria for their patient&ap...

This paper studies how prosodic features can help in the automatic detection of alcoholic intoxication. We compute features that have recently been proposed to model speech rhythm such as the pair-wise variability index for consonantal and vocalic segments (PVI) and study their aptness for the task. Further, we use a large prosodic feature vector modelling the usual candidates – pitch, intensit...

SOMba is a systemwhere multiple users create new rhythms and music by moving around a physical space while being tracked in real time using the infrared sensor on the Wii remote control. The physical space they move around in is mapped to a 2D Self-Organizing map. This SOM is created using the Marsyas audio processing framework from a collection of aligned 1-bar Samba rhythms of a variety of Br...

A detector based only on RR intervals capable of classifying other tachyarrhythmias in addition to atrial fibrillation (AF) could improve cardiac monitoring. In this paper a new classification method 2D non-linear RRI dynamics representation is presented. For aim, the concepts Poincaré Images and Atlases are introduced. Three rhythms were targeted: Normal sinus rhythm (NSR), AF bigeminy (AB). P...
