P-FCM: a proximity-based fuzzy clustering for user-centered web applications

2003

Abstract In last years, the Internet and the web have been evolved in an astonishing way. Standard web search services play an important role as useful tools for the Internet community even though they suffer from a certain difficulty. The web continues its growth, making the reliability of Internet-based information and retrieval systems more complex. Nevertheless there has been a substantial analysis of the gap between the expected information and the returned information, the work of web search engine is still very hard. There are different problems concerning web searching activity, one among these falls in the query phase. Each engine provide an interface which the user is forced to le…

Damage identification of a jacket support structure for offshore wind turbines

2020

Offshore jacket structures are regarded as a suitable type of support structure for offshore wind turbines in immediate water depths. Because of the welded tubular members used and environmental conditions, offshore jackets are often subjected to fatigue damages during their service life. Underwater sensors can provide measurements of the structural vibration signals and provide an efficient way to detect damages at early stages. In this work, simplified forms of the damages are assumed, random damages are imposed on the jacket structure, and damaged indicators are established from combination of modal shapes. Then, a response surface is constructed mapping the damage indicators and damages…

Categorising animals and habitats in disaster-related activities

2021

A disaster is typically defined as a situation requiring external assistance, under the (contestable) assumption that the situation must affect people and society to be a disaster. Animals and their habitats are part of society and humans connect with them, so animals and their habitats are part of all disaster-related activities. This straightforward statement has produced divergent theories, policies and practices including challenges to categories, labels and divisions for humans and non-humans. This paper collates many practitioner aspects regarding animals and habitats in disaster-related activities. It assists in understanding and training for situations involving non-humans before, d…

Data Sources Handling for Emergency Management: Supporting Information Availability and Accessibility for Emergency Responders

2017

Information is an essential component for better emergency response. Although a lot of information being available at various places during any kind of emergency, many emergency responders (ERs) use only a limited amount of the available information. The reason for this is that the available information heterogeneously distributed, in different formats, and ERs are unable to get access to the relevant information. Moreover, without having access to the needed information, many emergency responders are not able to obtain a sufficient understanding of the emergency situation. Consequently, a lot of time is being used to search for the needed information and poor decisions may be made. Therefo…

Deep in the Dark: A Novel Threat Detection System using Darknet Traffic

2019

This paper proposes a threat detection system based on Machine Learning classifiers that are trained using darknet traffic. Traffic destined to Darknet is either malicious or by misconfiguration. Darknet traffic contains traces of several threats such as DDoS attacks, botnets, spoofing, probes and scanning attacks. We analyse darknet traffic by extracting network traffic features from it that help in finding patterns of these advanced threats. We collected the darknet traffic from the network sensors deployed at SURFnet and extracted several network-based features. In this study, we proposed a framework that uses supervised machine learning and a concept drift detector. Our experimental res…

Facteurs influençant le choix de la spécialité de médecine générale par les étudiants en médecine

2016

Contexte et problematique : Depuis plus de 20 ans, une diminution du nombre d'etudiants en medecine choisissant de devenir medecin generaliste semble s’observer. Objectif : L'objectif de cette etude etait d'etudier les facteurs influencant ce choix chez des etudiants en medecine d'une faculte francaise. Methodes : Une etude observationnelle descriptive a ete realisee en mars 2015. Les etudiants de la faculte de medecine de l’Universite de Caen (France) inscrits aux epreuves classantes nationales ont ete invites a repondre a un questionnaire valide auto-administre divise en trois parties : renseignements personnels ; choix de specialite et ville d'affectation ; facteurs influencant le choix …

Transteoretical Approaches on Domestic Violence

2019

Abstract Domestic violence is a widespread public health problem. Domestic violence does not just manifest itself physically, it can take different forms, from verbal aggression to insults of psychological, emotional, sexual, material deprivation or simply negligence. All these affect the victim in many ways. Thus, the professionals in medical, legal sciences, but also the state authorities with responsibilities in social protection and assistance must know the phenomenon very well and find the best ways to fight it. No institution will be able to achieve this objective by working individually, but only an efficient cooperation of all these factors can contribute to limiting the negative ef…

Réhospitalisation précoce des personnes âgées d’au moins 75 ans admises dans un service de médecine polyvalente post-urgence : taux et facteurs prédi…

2016

Resume Introduction Compte tenu des implications de la rehospitalisation a l’echelon individuel et societal, le depistage des personnes âgees (PA) a risque apparait fondamental. Nous avons analyse les facteurs predictifs de rehospitalisation precoce des PA d’au moins 75 ans hospitalisees en medecine. Methodes Etude retrospective monocentrique ayant inclus des PA d’au moins 75 ans hospitalisees en medecine polyvalente via le service d’accueil des urgences. Les patients decedes durant l’hospitalisation, mutes et hospitalises le mois precedent etaient exclus. L’influence sur la rehospitalisation a un mois de donnees sociodemographiques, administratives et biomedicales a ete analysee. Resultats…

Überlegungen des Expertenbeirats zu Anträgen im Rahmen des Innovationsfonds

2018

Zusammenfassung Der Innovationsfonds schafft Anreize zur Entwicklung und Erprobung von Versorgungsinnovationen im Bereich der gesetzlichen Krankenversicherung (GKV) mit dem Ziel einer qualitativen Weiterentwicklung der Versorgung in Deutschland. Uber einen Zeitraum von zunachst vier Jahren (2016-19) werden jahrlich 300 Millionen Euro fur Projekte zu „Neuen Versorgungsformen“ und zur „Versorgungsforschung“ bereitgestellt. Der vom Bundesministerium fur Gesundheit (BMG) berufene zehn-kopfige Expertenbeirat begutachtet in einem formalisierten Verfahren alle Antrage anhand verschiedener Kriterien auf wissenschaftliche Gute, Innovationsgehalt, Versorgungsrelevanz und Implementierbarkeit. Das vorl…
