Using a Physical Activity Application to Promote Physical Activity Levels Among Aged People : A Follow-Up Study
2021
The share and life expectancy of the ageing population are increasing. However, aged people are threatened by insufficient physical activity. Therefore, finding ways to support people to live a physically active life in older age is imperative. Digital wellness technologies represent a potential solution, but in order for such technologies to be effective, research is needed to gain a better understanding on their use among aged people. To address this need, this study investigated whether the use of a physical activity application can promote physical activity among aged people. The physical activity levels were measured at three different time points: before taking the application into us…
Optimization of the Speech Test Material in a Group of Hearing Impaired Subjects: A Feasibility Study for Multilingual Digit Triplet Test Development
2021
Background: The development of the global digit-in-noise test requires optimization of each language version on a group of normal-hearing native-speakers. An alternative solution may be an adaptive optimization during ongoing tests in a group of subjects with unknown hearing impairments. The objective of the research was to compare the optimization results between these groups. Methods: Digit triplets consisting of three pseudo-randomly selected digits were presented in speech-shaped noise at various signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs), according to the protocol of the final speech test. Digit-specific and position-specific speech reception thresholds (SRTs) were determined and compared between g…
Transitions in herd management of semi-domesticated reindeer in northern Finland. 45
2008
In northern Finland, reindeer-herd management has experienced two major transitions: extensification of intensive herding, and development of supplementary/corral feeding in winter. The transistions were studied in six herding associations in different parts of the Finnish reindeer management area. It was suggested that intensive herding turns into more extensive forms as the reasons for intensive herding (predation, reindeer disappearing to foreign areas, protection of agricultural fields) gradually ceased to exist. The results of the study, based on interviews of elderly reindeer herders, were variable. In the three southern areas intensive herding changed to the free ranging system at th…
Terminoloģijas lietojums mobilo iekārtu lietošanas instrukcijās
2018
Maģistra darbā pētīts terminoloģijas lietojums mobilo iekārtu lietošanas instrukcijās. Darba mērķis ir izpētīt vienotas terminoloģijas pieejamību tehniskās nozares terminoloģijai, kura izmantota mobilo iekārtu lietošanas pamācībās. Pētījumā izmantotās metodes ir teorētisko materiālu (grāmatu un publikāciju) apskats un izmantotās terminoloģijas un tās tulkojumu analīze. Pētījuma rezultāti liecina, ka lielākajai daļai no atlasītajiem terminiem nav pieejams vienots tulkojums, vai termins darināts latviešu valodā, kas secīgi noved pie situācijas, kurā tulkotājs kļūst par valodnieku, kuram jādarina terminoloģiskās frāzes.
Socially-aware Dynamic Computation Offloading Scheme for Fog Computing System with Energy Harvesting Devices
2018
Fog computing is considered as a promising technology to meet the ever-increasing computation requests from a wide variety of mobile applications. By offloading the computation-intensive requests to the fog node or the central cloud, the performance of the applications, such as energy consumption and delay, are able to be significantly enhanced. Meanwhile, utilizing the recent advances of social network and energy harvesting (EH) techniques, the system performance could be further improved. In this paper, we take the social relationships of the EH mobile devices (MDs) into the design of computational offloading scheme in fog computing. With the objective to minimize the social group executi…
Analysis of MAC-level throughput in LTE systems with link rate adaptation and HARQ protocols
2015
LTE is rapidly gaining momentum for building future 4G cellular systems, and real operational networks are under deployment worldwide. To achieve high throughput performance, in addition to an advanced physical layer design LTE exploits a combination of sophisticated mechanisms at the radio resource management layer. Clearly, this makes difficult to develop analytical tools to accurately assess and optimise the user perceived throughput under realistic channel assumptions. Thus, most existing studies focus only on link-layer throughput or consider individual mechanisms in isolation. The main contribution of this paper is a unified modelling framework of the MAC-level downlink throughput of …
L’habitat mobile à l’épreuve du droit. L’approche belge
2022
L’habitat mobile connaît un nouvel essor aujourd’hui. Pourtant, le droit peine à s’adapter, encore trop rivé à la figure traditionnelle du logement sédentaire et en dur. Résultat : les habitants mobiles affrontent de nombreux obstacles juridiques à l’heure actuelle, qu’il s’agisse du régime locatif applicable à leur bien, de l’installation sur un terrain, de l’inscription dans les registres de la population de la commune ou encore de la protection du logement familial (quand il ne s’agit pas, plus en amont, d’un déficit de reconnaissance normative). Émanant souvent des pouvoirs locaux, ces difficultés contrarient en tous cas (voire empêchent) l’expression de ce mode de vie plus itinérant. À…

Analisi sperimentale degli ioni metallici presenti nella saliva di soggetti portatori di apparecchi ortodontici mobili
2016
Fino a pochi decenni addietro, il fenomeno dell’esposizione a basse concentrazioni di agenti tossici era considerato soltanto un problema di igiene ambientale. In realtà vari studi1-5 hanno approfondito, grazie al monitoraggio biologico, il concetto di “esposizione a basse dosi” di agenti tossici o elementi in tracce: pertanto nei suddetti studi, gli autori concludono che le “basse dosi” corrispondono a una esposizione tale che le concentrazioni della sostanza in esame si mantengono, nei fluidi biologici (per la popolazione esposta), al di sopra dei valori massimi di riferimento (stabiliti per la popolazione generale) e al di sotto dei valori-limite biologici.
Advanced performance monitoring for self-healing cellular mobile networks
2015
This dissertation is devoted to development and validation of advanced per- formance monitoring system for existing and future cellular mobile networks. Knowledge mining techniques are employed for analysis of user specific logs, collected with Minimization of Drive Tests (MDT) functionality. Ever increas- ing quality requirements, expansion of the mobile networks and their extend- ing heterogeneity, call for effective automatic means of performance monitoring. Nowadays, network operation is mostly controlled manually through aggregated key performance indicators and statistical profiles. These methods are are not able to fully address the dynamism and complexity of modern mobile networks. Se…
