<b>WEARABLE BIG DATA HARNESSING WITH DEEP LEARNING, EDGE COMPUTING AND EFFICIENCY OPTIMIZATION</b>Jiadao Zou (16920153) 03 January 2024 (has links)
<p dir="ltr">In this dissertation, efforts and innovations are made to advance subtle pattern mining, edge computing, and system efficiency optimization for biomedical applications, thereby advancing precision medicine big data.</p><p dir="ltr">Brain visual dynamics encode rich functional and biological patterns of the neural system, promising for applications like intention decoding, cognitive load quantization and neural disorder measurement. We here focus on the understanding of the brain visual dynamics for the Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) population. We leverage a deep learning framework for automatic feature learning and classification, which can translate the eye Electrooculography (EOG) signal to meaningful words. We then build an edge computing platform on the smart phone, for learning, visualization, and decoded word demonstration, all in real-time. In a further study, we have leveraged deep transfer learning to boost EOG decoding effectiveness. More specifically, the model trained on basic eye movements is leveraged and treated as an additional feature extractor when classifying the signal to the meaningful word, resulting in higher accuracy.</p><p dir="ltr">Efforts are further made to decoding functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) signal, which encodes rich brain dynamics like the cognitive load. We have proposed a novel Multi-view Multi-channel Graph Neural Network (mmGNN). More specifically, we propose to mine the multi-channel fNIRS dynamics with a multi-stage GNN that can effectively extract the channel- specific patterns, propagate patterns among channels, and fuse patterns for high-level abstraction. Further, we boost the learning capability with multi-view learning to mine pertinent patterns in temporal, spectral, time-frequency, and statistical domains.</p><p dir="ltr">Massive-device systems, like wearable massive-sensor computers and Internet of Things (IoTs), are promising in the era of big data. The crucial challenge is about how to maximize the efficiency under coupling constraints like energy budget, computing, and communication. We propose a deep reinforcement learning framework, with a pattern booster and a learning adaptor. This framework has demonstrated optimally maximizes the energy utilization and computing efficiency on the local massive devices under a one-center fifteen-device circumstance.</p><p dir="ltr">Our research and findings are expected to greatly advance the intelligent, real-time, and efficient big data harnessing, leveraging deep learning, edge computing, and efficiency optimization.</p>

Previous issue date: 2014-04-15 / A aten??o prim?ria ? sa?de ? um importante cen?rio para o cuidado em sa?de mental
por suas caracter?sticas e pelo trabalho no territ?rio contribuir para a supera??o do modelo
manicomial de aten??o. Esta pesquisa partiu do questionamento sobre como acontece a
aten??o em sa?de mental na aten??o b?sica nas unidades em que se desenvolve a Resid?ncia
de Medicina de Fam?lia e Comunidade em um munic?pio do sert?o paraibano. Objetivou
investigar as demandas de sa?de mental e pr?ticas de cuidado no contexto de ESF e da RMFC
do munic?pio de Cajazeiras a partir do discurso dos profissionais ali inseridos e discutir
estrat?gias de qualifica??o do cuidado em sa?de mental nessa realidade. Utilizou-se
abordagem qualitativa em que foram realizados grupos focais envolvendo profissionais de
duas equipes da ESF e uma equipe de NASF. Os dados produzidos nos grupos foram
analisados a partir do referencial da an?lise do discurso de inspira??o foucaultiana. Como
resultados evidenciou-se que os profissionais percebem a demanda em sa?de mental na
aten??o b?sica principalmente na forma de sofrimento ps?quico inespec?fico e transtornos
mentais graves. A aten??o a essas pessoas n?o consegue superar a medicaliza??o que ?
identificada por esses profissionais. A pr?tica asilar persiste como alternativa para os casos de
transtornos mentais graves, sendo limitada a incorpora??o do paradigma da
desinstitucionaliza??o como referencial para a pr?tica profissional. Al?m disso, a rela??o com
a rede de sa?de encontra v?rios limites destacando-se a dificuldade de produ??o de
continuidade e integralidade do cuidado. A partir disto, analisa-se a forma??o m?dica e sua
capacidade de garantir o cuidado integral na aten??o ?s demandas de sa?de mental. No campo
da pesquisa, dois modelos de forma??o se encontram. Os residentes participantes ou
graduaram-se em Cuba ou em escola m?dica brasileira orientada pelas Diretrizes Curriculares
Nacionais. Percebe-se ent?o que a gradua??o, ao incorporar quest?es relativas ? integralidade
do cuidado, n?o ? suficiente para gerar bons profissionais para o SUS. Considera-se
necess?rio somar ?s mudan?as na gradua??o a perspectiva da Educa??o Permanente em Sa?de
no mundo do trabalho, o envolvimento dos profissionais com a transforma??o das pr?ticas de
aten??o ? sa?de e a constru??o da perspectiva da integralidade e da aten??o psicossocial por
dentro da Resid?ncia de Medicina de Fam?lia e Comunidade como importantes estrat?gias
para a forma??o de m?dicos generalistas aptos para a aten??o ?s demandas de sa?de mental

How to Prepare for DeathLind Färnstrand, Izabel January 2019 (has links)
Abstract of Master essay - 10 HP Izabel Lind Färnstrand Mentor: Emma Kihl Examinator: Sigrid Sandström How to Prepare for Death In this essay I dwell into the failures of our moral senses in relation to the concept of death. How does modern death culture affect our way of life and our ability to take responsibility for the life and death of others? These questions are formed by these current times and affect both my art practice and my everyday life. When facing death within my family it occur- red to me that my and my family’s relationship to death is failing us. I have become frustra- ted with the fear and silence that seems too natural to my surrounding. Not being able to talk about a part of life that is inevitable seems irrational. It became clear when the lack of under- standing and acceptance of death caused relatives an immense suffering. The struggle seemed unnessesary and urged me to try to understand more, based on their deaths. Seeing how very different the experience of dying can be made me wonder what makes a ”good” death possible for some and others not. From there my interest in the topic death culture and fear emerged, and this essay touches on this in a variety of aspects. I use my personal experiences in combina- tion with thoughts of others to talk of layers of these issues through my artistic practice. This personal method is my way of trying to structure a thinking – in a way that I can use and make sense of it – with a varied level of success. I feel it is important to note that I don’t claim to have any answes. This essay is more an attempt to pose questions around human behaviour. Even though many of these ques- tions have been asked over and over again, throughout different times, I believe it is impor- tant to ask them again and again. As long as the Human is part and violently effecting this suffering world. Many of the thoughts in this essay are based on fragments of ideas by Judith Butler, espe- cielly from her book Frames of War: When is Life Grievable? (2009). I also reference Caitlin Doughty’s From Here to Eternity: Traveling the World to Find the Good Death (2017) and and Sogyal Rinpoche The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying (1992). The themes gathered that I try to make use of in this essay and in my artistic practice are purpose, fear, death, health, happiness, narcissim and resposibility. / Abstract of Artistic work How to Prepare for Death @ Galleri Mejan, Exercisplan 3, october 2019 Media: Spatial installation with a performance (1 h) Materials: Clay, plaster, metal & red plastic film How to Prepare for Death is a spatial installation in one of the gallery rooms of Galleri Mejan. The work includes the whole space of the area, such as the floor and the walls. You step into an altered reality, where the floor is covered with clay that is cracking increasingly over time and windows that are tinted red so that the air you breath seems red. When you enter your eyes need to adjust and after a while it is rather the outside that seems colored, neon green - the complementary color of red. From the clay there are metal rods sticking out vertically, with plaster sculptures at the end. These sculptures are broken, and resemble body parts with a medical aesthetics. Similar sculptures come out from the walls, like fragile fragments of something that used to be. When you walk around the sculptures the clay crackle under your feet, and crumble into smaller pieces and dust. It is constructed as an ambivalent experience of nothingness, emptiness, ”afterness” and a sanctuary of thoughts. My questions about life and death drive me to investigate how to create spaces for these subjects to feel present, so that we can face our fears.
