Métodos para análise de concordância: estudo de simulação e aplicação a dados de evapotranspiração / Methods for agreement analysis: study of simulation and application of evapotranspiration data

Oliveira, Elisângela Aparecida de 15 February 2016 (has links)
O estudo de concordância ou coincidência entre os resultados obtidos por dois métodos ou modelos é amplo e abrange diversos índices e abordagens distintas, havendo divergências nas escolhas das técnicas usadas na estimativa da evapotranspiração. Dentre os índices usados para esta finalidade destacam-se: o coeficiente de correlação linear, o coeficiente de determinação, os índices de concordância de Willmott (WILLMOTT, 1981; WILLMOTT et al., 2012) e os índices de desempenho (CAMARGO & SENTELHAS, 1997; ALVARES et al., 2013). Também são utilizados o método de Bland-Altman (BLAND & ALTMAN, 1986) e testes sobre os coeficientes de regressão linear simples, com ou sem intercepto. O Irrigâmetro é um aparelho evapopluviométrico utilizado no manejo da irrigação, visando a otimizar o uso da água na agricultura irrigada e que pode ser usado para estimar a evapotranspiração de referência (ET0). Este aparelho apresenta grande potencial de uso na agricultura, pois além de ser um equipamento simples, de fácil manuseio e economicamente viável, fornece informações de quando e quanto irrigar, sem que o irrigante tenha conhecimentos técnicos especializados sobre irrigação (OLIVEIRA et al., 2008b) ou acesso a inúmeros dados meteorológicos. Neste contexto é interessante saber se a evapotranspiração de referência obtida com o uso do Irrigâmetro (ETI) concorda com a Evapotranspiração de referência obtida pelo método padrão de Penman Monteith FAO 56 (ET0). Diante do exposto os objetivos deste trabalho foram: (i) apresentar e avaliar diferentes técnicas utilizadas no estudo de concordância entre dois métodos para a obtenção da ET0 por meio de um estudo com dados simulados; (ii) implementar computacionalmente os cálculos no software computacional R e (iii) aplicar as técnicas aos dados de Evapotranspiração de referência obtidos com o uso do Irrigâmetro (ETI), em um experimento conduzido no Campus Universitário de Gurupi da Universidade Federal do Tocantins (UFT). Os resultados das simulações indicaram que nenhum índice ou técnica conseguiu sozinho identificar a real concordância entre os dados simulados. Dentre os índices estudados, o índice de Willmott refinado foi o mais eficiente para avaliar a concordância entre dois métodos usados na obtenção da ET. O teste para os parâmetros da reta de regressão e o método de Bland-Altman devem ser utilizados em conjunto com outros índices de concordância. A aplicação dos métodos de concordância aos dados do estudo com o Irrigâmetro indicou que a altura de água no evaporatório, que melhor estima a ET0 foi de 3 cm. O índice de Willmott indicou uma concordância boa (d = 0; 74), mas o índice refinado de Willmott indicou uma concordância fraca (dr = 0; 34) entre ETI e ET0. Em trabalhos futuros com o Irrigâmetro, além do nível de água no interior do evaporatório, outras medidas deverão ser consideradas, como a área de água exposta na superfície e, consequentemente, o volume de água no evaporatório, a espessura e o tipo de material do evaporatório. / The agreement or coincidence between the results obtained by two methods or models is extensive and comprises several indexes and different approaches, with differences in the choices of the techniques used to estimate evapotranspiration. Among the indices used for this purpose are: correlation coefficient, determination coefficient, Willmott\'s concordance indexes (WILLMOTT, 1981; WILLMOTT et al., 2012) and performance indices (CAMARGO & SENTELHAS, 1997; ALVARES et al., 2013). The Bland-Altman method and tests on the coefficients of simple linear regression, with or without the intercept term, are also used in this kind of study. The Irrigameter is an evapo-pluviometric apparatus to be used in irrigation water management, aiming to optimize the use of water in irrigated agriculture and that can be used to estimate the reference evapotranspiration (ET0). This apparatus has great potential for use in agriculture, because besides being simple apparatus, easy handling and economically feasible, gives information of when and how much to irrigate, without the irrigator has technical expertise on irrigation (OLIVEIRA et al., 2008b) or access to numerous meteorological data. In this context it is interesting to know whether the reference evapotranspiration obtained with the use of Irrigameter (ETI) agrees with the reference evapotranspiration obtained by the standard method of Penman Monteith FAO 56 (ET0). Given the above the objectives of this study were: (i) present and evaluate the different techniques used in the study of agreement between two methods for obtaining the ET0 through an analysis of simulated data, (ii) implement the calculations in the computer software R and (iii) apply the techniques to the evapotranspiration (ET0) data obtained with the use of an Irrigameter (ETI) in an experiment conducted at the Federal University of Tocantins (UFT), Gurupi-TO/Brazil. The simulation study concluded that none of the discussed methodologies can be used, isolated, to conclude on the agreement between two models or methods. Among the studied indices, the Willmott\'s refined index was the most efficient to evaluate the agreement between the two methods used in obtaining the ET. The test for the regression line parameters and the Bland-Altman\'s chart should be used together with other concordance indices. The application of the methods of agreement to study data with the Irrigameter indicated that the water level in the evaporatory that better estimated ET0 was 3 cm. The index of Willmott indicated a good agreement (d = 0:74), but the refined Willmott\'s index indicated a weak agreement (dr = 0:34) between (ETI e ET0). In future studies, beyond the water level inside the evaporatory other measures could be considered, such as the exposed area of water on the surface and, consequently, the water volume in the evaporatory, the thickness and type of the evaporatory\'s material.

Hur rör du dig? : En beskrivning av de fysiska aktivitetsvanorna hos elever i årskurs nio

Nilsson, Elfrida, Svensson, Erik January 2016 (has links)
Sammanfattning Syfte: Var att undersöka och beskriva de fysiska aktivitetsvanorna hos elever i årskurs nio och jämföra dem med den dagliga rekommendationen på 60 minuter fysisk aktivitet för ungdomar och barn. Vi ville få en bild av hur pojkars och flickors vardagliga fysiska aktivitet ser ut på olika skolor och ifall skolans eventuella idrottsfokus påverkar ungdomarnas fysiska aktivitetsvanor. Frågeställningar: (I) Finns det skillnad i andelen aktiva inom idrottsförening mellan pojkar och flickor i årskurs 9? (II) Har skolans idrottsfokus betydelse för ungdomarnas vardagliga fysiska aktivitet? och (III) Finns det skillnad i andelen pojkar respektive flickor som uppfyller rekommendationerna på 60 minuter fysisk aktivitet per dag? Metod: En enkät togs fram genom översättning av PAQ-A (Physical Activity Questionnaire – Adolescents) som sedan kompletterades för att besvara frågeställningarna. Aktivitetsnivåerna beskrevs med en poängsumma och ett medelvärde (PAQmv) beräknades för varje grupp. Ett informationsbrev formulerades där målsmans godkännande (signatur) efterfrågades. Skolor kontaktades för att få godkännande att dela ut enkäten hos dem. Enkäterna delades ut under lektionstid, men fylldes i hemma. Deltagarna i studien skulle sedan ta med sig enkäten tillbaka till skolan, där enkäten samlades in några dagar senare. Två av de åtta deltagande skolorna fick själva ansvara för utdelning och insamling av enkäten. Resultat: Av 97 respondenter var 57 flickor (58,8 %), 37 pojkar (38,1 %) och 3 (3,1 %) som inte angivit kön. Medelåldern var 15 år. Majoriteten (67,5 %) var aktiva inom någon eller några idrottsförening(ar). Utav de som var aktiva inom idrottsförening var 61,5 % flickor. Utav de som hade ett PAQ-A medelvärde (PAQ-Amv) på 1-2,49 (vilket klassades som lågaktiv) gick 58.8 % på en skola utan fysiskt aktivitetsfokus, 41.2 % gick på en skola med fysiskt aktivitetsfokus. Skillnaden mellan skoltyperna var inte signifikant. Utav de 97 eleverna som deltog i enkätundersökningen uppfyller 72 elever (46 flickor, 26 pojkar) de dagliga fysiska aktivitetskraven för ungdomar. Det fanns inte några skillnader mellan könen. Slutsats: Hypotesen, att skolans fokus påverkar hur aktiva ungdomarna väljer att vara, övergavs på grund av resultatet. De barn som var aktiva inom en idrottsförening uppnådde 98,5 % av ungdomarna rekommendationerna för fysisk aktivitet. Sambandet kan förklaras av att fysisk aktivitetsnivå beräknades utifrån medlemskap i idrottsföreningar.

Beautifully blonde or enchantingly ugly : re-imagining the Swedish nation through text and image in the illustrated fairy tale annual Bland tomtar och troll (Amongst gnomes and trolls)

Anderson, Matthew Owen 09 October 2014 (has links)
Much like oft-repeated quotes or catchy movie soundtrack tunes, famous illustrations often outweigh and outlast their original contexts and establish themselves as iconic cultural reference points for generations to come. Over the last 100 years in Sweden, John Bauer’s fairy tale illustrations have maintained a strong grip on that nation’s popular imaginary through over thirty reprint editions, museum exhibits, stamp collections, and, of course, stylistic imitations. While their century-old narrative contexts remain relatively unknown and uninteresting to contemporary audiences, his beautifully blonde children, enchantingly ugly trolls, and stark, Swedish landscapes continue to be bought, sold, and validated as embodying a typically Swedish relationship to nature. Why John Bauer’s work has remained so influential over time while the publication they appeared in has faded is a question that many of his biographers have attempted to answer. Harald Schiller, the most thorough of these, claims that “when one sees [his] images in black and white or color, they capture one’s interest to such a degree that there is none left for the text” (152). This essay uses Schiller’s comment as a starting point to pose one answer to this question. By exploring the dynamic potential of the relationship between Bauer’s images and their early twentieth-century contexts, it locates the artist’s appeal over against his narrative guidelines and the historical movements of his time. To this end, its comparative analysis of the textual and visual narratives in the illustrated Swedish fairy tale annual, Bland tomtar och troll (Amongst Gnomes and Trolls) explores how the interplay between the historical pregnancy of its fairy tale stories and the Swedophilic affects of John Bauer’s illustrations contributes to the project of imagining and proliferating a new Swedish national identity at the beginning of the twentieth century. / text

ACCURACY OF CONE-BEAM COMPUTERIZED TOMOGRAPHY IN DETERMINING THE THICKNESS OF THE PALATAL MASTICATORY MUCOSA

Hardison, Justin 23 April 2012 (has links)
BACKGROUND: The aim was to compare the thickness of the palatal masticatory mucosa as determined on a cone-beam computerized (CBCT) scan versus thickness determined via bone-sounding. METHODS: A total of twenty patients requiring palatal surgery participated. Thickness of the palatal tissue was measured at various points radiographically and clinically. The two techniques were compared to determine the agreement of the two measurement modalities. RESULTS: Analysis of variance determined that there was no significant difference between the two methods. A small bias of the radiographic measurement being larger was found to be statistically significant (0.09 ± 0.69mm; p <0.0001). Moreover, the tissue thickness was shown to increase as the distance from the gingival margin increased and the tissue over the molars was thinner than the tissue over the premolars. CONCLUSIONS: CBCT can be used to accurately determine the soft tissue thickness of the palatal masticatory mucosa with minimal bias.

Comparing Steady State to Time Interval Measurements of Resting Metabolic Rate

Irving, Chelsea Jayne 01 April 2016 (has links)
The two most common methods to measure resting metabolic rate using indirect calorimetry are steady state or time interval. Steady state is commonly defined as the first five minutes in which oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production vary by <10%. A time interval measurement generally lasts 20-60 minutes. Using steady state criteria is often harder to achieve, but many suggest it more accurately measures resting metabolic rate. Our objective was to determine if there were differences between steady state and time interval measurements in a healthy adult population. Seventy seven subjects were measured for 45 minutes. Inclusion criteria included healthy subjects ages 18-65, excluding pregnant and lactating women. Paired t-tests analyzed differences between measures, and Bland-Altman plots evaluated bias, precision, and accuracy. Of 77 subjects, 84% achieved steady state, and 95% achieved SS by minute 30. Most differences between steady state and time intervals were statistically but not practically significant. Bland-Altman plots showed steady state measurements were generally lower indicating that steady state is more indicative of resting metabolic rate. Minutes 6-25 were most precise, accurate and fairly unbiased compared to steady state. We recommend measuring a subject for 30 minutes and using steady state criteria of <10% variation of oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production for five minutes if a subject is able to achieve it. However, if a subject cannot achieve steady state, we recommend averaging minutes 6-25.

Regolith-landform mapping and dryland salinity investigaton: Booberoi-Quandialla Transect, Western New South Wales

Holzapfel, Michael, n/a January 2004 (has links)
Landholders in the Booberoi to Quandialla (B-Q) Transect area, located in central west NSW, have been concerned about an emerging dryland salinity problem since the late 1990�s (Wooldridge 2002, pers. comm. Muller 2002, pers. comm.) with borehole information and electromagnetic induction investigations supporting anecdotal observations. The presence of indicator vegetation, waterlogging of soils and salinisation of land are becoming increasingly prevalent, with two well-documented sites including �Strathairlie� near Quandialla, and �Back Creek� near West Wyalong. The B-Q Transect area lies within the Bland Creek Catchment, a broad open plain of subdued topography and restricted drainage receiving sediments from elevated rises located to the west, south and east. Significant deposits of transported alluvial materials have in-filled the catchment to depths in excess of 160 m and have posed a particular impediment to regional-scale mineral exploration. Stream flow across the alluvial plains and low angle alluvial fans is intermittent with most of the flow being diverted into groundwater storage or lost to evaporation. Rarely do streams flow into Lake Cowal to the north. A partial electromagnetic (EM) induction survey coupled with a long term bore and piezometer network monitoring program have been implemented by the Department of Infrastructure, Planning and Natural Resources (DIPNR � formerly Department of Land and Water Conservation) Central West NSW Salt Group. These programs allow for initial, broad-scale evaluation of the magnitude and spatial distribution of the salinity problem but fail to pinpoint remaining sites at risk as well as the mechanisms of salt emplacement. As part of an approach to assist with hazard mitigation and land management, two regolith-landform maps are being compiled using 1:20,000 scales in the Back Creek and Quandialla areas. A third, more regional regolith-landform map at 1:50,000 scale (Holzapfel & Moore 2003a, b & c) provides context for the more detailed mapping areas. The new regolith-landform maps will aid in interpretation of existing geophysical techniques, help piece together the three-dimensional characteristics of the Bland Creek catchment, aid in the development of a shallow fluid flow and palaeotopographic model and assist land managers in formulating land management units (LMU�s). The three-dimensional integration of regolith-landform mapping, electromagnetic studies, bore information and other geophysical methods is critical in determining the interaction, distribution and movement of groundwater in the Bland Creek Catchment as buried palaeochannels represent preferred fluid pathways. The distribution of these palaeochannels has implications for future dryland salinity outbreaks, the remediation of current outbreaks and mineral exploration closer to the well-known Wyalong Goldfield (Lawrie et al., 1999). The western quarter of the B-Q Transect area partially overlaps with the recently completed GILMORE Project (Lawrie et al., 2003a,b & c), a multi-disciplinary study, coordinated by Geoscience Australia (GA) and the Bureau of Rural Sciences (BRS). Regolith-landform information in addition to gamma-ray spectrometry, magnetics, airborne electromagnetics and a digital elevation model acquired by the GILMORE Project have been incorporated into regolith-landform maps over the B-Q Transect. The incorporation of these datasets has helped not only extend the usefulness of the GILMORE Project data but provide a consistent, regolith-landform coverage for the broader Bland Creek Catchment. Regolith-landform mapping has been successful in highlighting major recharge zones for local and intermediate flow systems. The mechanisms for dryland salinity at two well-known sites have also been determined. Increasing salt stores are occurring through evaporation of intermittent floodwaters sourced from floodplains, back plains and broad meandering existing creek systems and recharging partially exposed palaeochannels intersecting the surface. Due to the shallow nature of these partially exposed palaeochannels, evaporation further concentrates the salt load in the soil profile. It is unknown if mapped shallow palaeochannels further away from current drainage systems are affected by rising salt loads. Regolith-landform mapping highlights two additional risk factors common to the 1:50,000 and 1:20,000 scale B-Q Transect mapping areas including widespread waterlogging of soils and wind erosion. Due to the subdued topography, features such as gilgai, fences and roads are having an effect on drainage modification. Wind erosion was also observed to play a major role within the B-Q Transect with significant loss of topsoil creating hardened clay surfaces resistant to water infiltration and significant redistributed deposits of aeolian materials. Interpretation of regolith-landform mapping against geophysical datasets and drill hole data show considerable lateral and vertical variation of regolith units. This variation of regolith distribution with depth does not reduce the effectiveness of using regolithlandform mapping as a valued management tool. The subdued relief coupled with the complex interplay between recharge zones, discharge zones and surficial drainage networks over the B-Q Transect still requires a detailed knowledge of surface regolithlandform characteristics whilst reinforcing the need for a multidisciplinary approach to gain a 3D perspective. Catchment analysis has been performed on drainage systems within the Bland Creek Catchment and has helped explain the strong effect different catchments have had on sediment supply to the Bland Basin. Catchment analysis results have been used in basic calculations of salt loads in the Bland Creek Catchment. An estimated 18,780 Tonnes/yr of salt enter the Bland Creek catchment and as stream flow out of the Bland Creek Catchment is intermittent, salt stores are increasing in the upper margins of the soil profile and groundwater reserves. Reconstruction of the palaeotopography of the B-Q Transect has been made possible using a mutli-disciplinary approach incorporating information from regolith-landform mapping, drill hole information, gamma-ray spectrometry and GILMORE Project datasets. The production of large-scale regolith-landform mapping, the development of a shallow fluid flow model and reconstruction of palaeotopography builds on and contributes to knowledge of the Bland Creek Catchment allowing for detailed farmscale and paddock-scale land management decisions.
