Security Management in Electronic Health Records: Attitudes and Experiences Among Health Care Professionals
2018
Electronic health records play an important role for management, exchange and storage of information within health care organizations. Health care organizations are obliged to adopt strategies for information security and privacy associated with access to medical and sensitive information, but at the same time, the information needs to be available for authorized health care professionals carrying out patient treatment. This paper presents a study about attitudes and experiences among health care professionals towards security management in electronic health records. Qualitative research methods were used, with an initial literature review that was followed by observations and interviews wi…
Hybrid Deep Shallow Network for Assessment of Depression Using Electroencephalogram Signals
2020
Depression is a mental health disorder characterised by persistently depressed mood or loss of interest in activities resulting impairment in daily life significantly. Electroencephalography (EEG) can assist with the accurate diagnosis of depression. In this paper, we present two different hybrid deep learning models for classification and assessment of patient suffering with depression. We have combined convolutional neural network with Gated recurrent units (RGUs), thus the proposed network is shallow and much smaller in size in comparison to its counter LSTM network. In addition to this, proposed approach is less sensitive to parameter settings. Extensive experiments on EEG dataset shows…
Preliminary design process for an adaptive winglet
2017
In the framework of Clean Sky 2 Airgreen 2 GRA ITD project, this paper deals with the design process of a morphing winglet for a regional aircraft. By improving A/C aerodynamic efficiency in off-design flight conditions, the morphing winglet is expected to operate during long (cruise) and short (climb and descent) mission phases to reduce aircraft drag and optimize lift distribution, while providing augmented roll and yaw control capability. The mechanical system is designed to face different flight situations by a proper action on the movable parts represented by two independent and asynchronous control surfaces with variable camber and differential settings. A set of suitable electromecha…
Towards a simulation-based tuning of motion cueing algorithms
2016
Abstract This paper deals with the problem of finding the best values for the parameters of Motion Cueing Algorithms (MCA). MCA are responsible for controlling the movements of robotic motion platforms used to generate the gravito-inertial cues of vehicle simulators. The values of their multiple parameters, or coefficients, are hard to establish and they dramatically change the behaviour of MCA. The problem has been traditionally addressed in a subjective, partially non-systematic, iterative, time-consuming way, by seeking pilot/driver feedback on the generated motion cues. The aim of this paper is to introduce a different approach to solve the problem of MCA tuning, by making use of a simu…

Adaptive backstepping control of uncertain systems in the presence of unmodeled dynamics and time-varying delays
2016
In this paper, the problem of adaptive backstepping control for uncertain systems in the presence of unmodeled dynamics and input time-varying delays is studied. Under some mild assumptions, a robust adaptive controller is designed such that the system is globally stabilized by using adaptive backstepping technique. Meanwhile, the transient system performance in L2 and norms of system output can be adjusted by choosing the design parameters. Finally, a simulation example is given to show the effectiveness of the results.
Using Two-Level Context-Based Predictors for Assembly Assistance in Smart Factories
2020
The paper presents some preliminary results in engineering a context-aware assistive system for manual assembly tasks. It employs context-based predictors to suggest the next steps during the manufacturing process and is based on data collected from experiments with trainees in assembling a tablet. We were interested in finding correlations between the characteristics of the workers and the way they prefer to assemble the tablet. A certain predictor is then trained with correct assembly styles extracted from the collected data and assessed against the whole dataset. Thus, we found the predictor that best matches the assembly preferences.
Modified F-transform Based on B-splines
2018
The aim of this paper is to improve the F-transform technique based on B-splines. A modification of the F-transform of higher degree with respect to fuzzy partitions based on B-splines is done to extend the good approximation properties from the interval where the Ruspini condition is fulfilled to the whole interval under consideration. The effect of the proposed modification is characterized theoretically and illustrated numerically.
Application of Selected Methods of Black Box for Modelling the Settleability Process in Wastewater Treatment Plant
2017
Abstract The paper described how the results of measurements of inflow wastewater temperature in the chamber, a degree of external and internal recirculation in the biological-mechanical wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) in Cedzyna near Kielce, Poland, were used to make predictions of settleability of activated sludge. Three methods, namely: multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS), random forests (RF) and modified random forests (RF + SOM) were employed to compute activated sludge settleability. The results of analysis indicate that modified random forests demonstrate the best predictive abilities.
