A model for implementing vibration and sound heatmaps in smart cities based on crowdsensing data

This paper aims to establish a model that can utilize vibration and sound heatmaps in smart traffic using Internet of things, mobile and web technologies. The developed system should be able to monitor and collect information using crowdsensing technology, as well as provide the current status of the environment. The final objective of the model is to generate visual heat maps related to perceptual attributes (e.g. ‘calm’, ‘pleasant’, ‘unbearable‘) with collected vibrations and sounds as a starting point. The proposed system is developed through these main stages: (1) Vibration and sound sources recognition (2) Profiling of the sources (3) Prediction of perceptual measures divided by the area (4) Implementation of vibration and sound heatmaps. This research is specifically focusing on the last two stages (predictions and implementation). These stages are broken down into smaller phases with methodology and processes described in detail. The model of the developed system was realized through measured vibrations and sound data in urban transportation in Novi Sad city. Finally, we present the research results from the analysis paradigm and provide suggestions for its implementation

Prikaz duševnih bolesti i poremećaja kao uzroci hospitalizacije stanovnika Dubrovačko-neretvanske županije u razdoblju 2001.-2005. godine

U ovom radu prikazana je učestalost i kretanje bolničkog pobola zbog duševnih bolesti i poremećaja kod stanovnika Dubrovačko-neretvanske županije (Županija) u razdoblju 2001.-2005. godine posebno analizirajući vodeće dijagnostičke kategorije. Podaci su prikazani kao apsolutni brojevi, postotni udio te kao opće, dob i spol specifične stope na 100.000 stanovnika.Dobiveni rezultati pokazuju da stope hospitalizacije zbog duševnih poremećaja u promatranom razdoblju imaju uzlazni trend, ukupno, po spolu i dobnim skupinama. Sve analizirane stope uglavnom su više za muški spol osim stopa hospitalizacije zbog depresivnih poremećaja. Prema dobnim skupinama stope hospitalizacije su najviše za dobnu skupinu 40-59 godina, osim stopa hospitalizacije zbog shizofrenije, koje su najviše za dobnu skupinu 20-39 godina, naročito za muški spol.  Kretanje prosječnog trajanja bolničkog liječenja kroz godine pokazuje trend pada za oba spola; od 59,7 dana u 2001. na 32,6 dana u 2005. za muški spol, te od 33,3 dana u 2001. na 25,0 dana u 2005. za ženski. U 2005. godini duševne bolesti i poremećaji nalaze se na 1. mjestu u ukupnom broju dana bolničkog liječenja za bolesnike s prebivalištem u Županiji s udjelom od 18,9%, a na 7. mjestu u ukupnom broju hospitalizacija s udjelom od 6,0%. Od posebnog su značenja podaci koji pokazuju da se gotovo 50% bolničkih dana liječenja za muškarce u dobnoj skupini 20-59 godina koristi za ovu skupinu bolesti, a za žene 20%

Quality of life in Croatian Homeland war (1991-1995) veterans who suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder and chronic pain

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The aim of this study was to investigate the quality of life in Croatian homeland war veterans who suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder and chronic low back pain (LBP).</p> <p>Methods</p> <p>A total of 369 participants were included, classified in four study groups: those with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD; N = 59), those with both PTSD and lower back pain (PTSD+LBP; N = 80), those with isolated LBP (N = 95) and controls (N = 135). WHOQOL-BREF survey was used in the estimation of quality of life. The data were analysed using statistical methods and hierarchical clustering.</p> <p>Results</p> <p>The results indicated a general pattern of lowering quality of life in participants with both psychological (PTSD) and physical (LBP) burden. The average overall quality of life was 2.82 ± 1.14 for the PTSD+LBP group, 3.29 ± 1.28 for the PTSD group, 4.04 ± 1.25 for the LBP group and 4.48 ± 0.80 for the controls (notably, all the pair-wise comparisons were significantly different at the level of P < 0.001, except for the pair LBP-controls, which was insignificant). This result indicated that quality of life was reduced for 9.9% in patients with LBP, 26.6% in patients with PTSD and 37.1% in PTSD+LBP, suggesting strong synergistic effect of PTSD and LBP. The analysis also identified several clusters of participants with different pattern of quality of life related outcomes, reflecting the complex nature of this indicator.</p> <p>Conclusions</p> <p>The results of this study reiterate strong impact of PTSD on quality of life, which is additionally reduced if the patient also suffers from LBP. PTSD remains a substantial problem in Croatia, nearly two decades after the beginning of the 1991-1996 Homeland war.</p

The Connection between Coping Mechanisms, Depression, Anxiety and Fatigue in Multiple Sclerosis

The aim of this study was to show how different coping mechanisms influence the prevalence of anxiety and depression in people suffering from multiple sclerosis. We also aimed at showing how different coping mechanisms contribute to subjective prosperity of the patients emphasizing general health, cognitive functions and fatigue. A questionnaire was given to attendants of the VI Symposium of Patients Suffering From Multiple Sclerosis. Scales were taken from Multiple Sclerosis Quality of Life Inventory (MSQLI), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and COPE inventory. A total of 68 anonymous questionnaires were handed in. A total of 57.9% of examinees had symptoms of depression, and 63.2% suffered from symptoms of anxiety. However, majority of the examinees suffered from the combination of these entities. Hypothesis about impact of various coping factors on depression, anxiety, fatigue was validated except an impact on physical state was not proven significant. Predictors improving these states were positive reinterpretation, social emotional support and humor, Predictors worsening these states were planning, acceptance, focus on emotional ventilation and denial. Psychiatric comorbidity has a high prevalence in people suffering from MS. Different coping mechanisms can help in improvement of everyday life

Controlling Pd-Catalyzed N-Arylation and Dimroth Rearrangement in the Synthesis of N,1-Diaryl-1H-tetrazol-5-amines

The Pd-catalyzed N-arylation method for the synthesis of eighteen N,1-diaryl-1H-tetrazol-5-amine derivatives is reported. By running the reactions at 35 °C, compounds were isolated as single isomers since the undesired Dimroth rearrangement was completely suppressed. Furthermore, the Dimroth rearrangement of N,1-diaryl-1H-tetrazol-5-amines was rationalized by conducting comprehensive experiments and NMR analysis as well as density functional theory (DFT) calculations of thermodynamic stability of the compounds. It was established that the Dimroth rearrangement is thermodynamically controlled, and the equilibrium of the reaction is determined by the stability of the corresponding isomers. The mechanism was investigated by additional DFT calculations, and the opening of the tetrazole ring was shown to be the rate-determining step. By maneuvering Pd-catalyzed N-arylation and the subsequent Dimroth rearrangement, two more N,1-diaryl-1H-tetrazol-5-amine derivatives were acquired, which otherwise cannot be synthesized by employing the C–N cross-coupling reaction.This is the peer-reviewed, authors’ version of the article: Nikolić, A., Stanić, J., Zlatar, M., Gruden, M., Anđelković, B., Selaković, Ž., Ajdačić, V.,& Opsenica, I.

Percipir ana socijalna potpora veteranima Domovinskog rata s posttraumatskim stresnim poremećajem – što se nije smjelo dogoditi

The goal of this study was to evaluate the association between self-perceived social support and chronic combat-related posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The study included 262 male war veterans suffering from chronic PTSD. Their diagnosis was confirmed according to DSM-IV -TR . They were given self-reported measures Trauma Symptom Inventory-A and Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support. No significant correlation was found between peer and family support and PTSD. The authors hypothesize this might be the result of secondary victimization, traumatization, and enduring personality changes during the course of PTSD. The items evaluating satisfaction with health care and state institutional support were correlated with most of the PTSD symptoms indicating the possible importance of improving institutional policies toward this population.Glavni cilj ovoga istraživanja bio je procijeniti moguću povezanost percipirane socijalne potpore i kroničnog posttraumatskog stresnog poremećaja (PTSP) uzrokovanog ratom. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 262 veterana Domovinskog rata koji pate od kroničnog PTSP-a. Psihijatrijsku dijagnozu potvrdio je psihijatar prema kriterijima DSM-IV -TR . Simptomi PTSP-a ispitani su samoocjenskim upitnikom Trauma Symptom Inventory-A, dok je socijalna potpora procijenjena ljestvicom Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support. Nije pronađena značajna povezanost između percipirane socijalne potpore od strane obitelji i prijatelja sa simptomima PTSP-a. Ovakav nalaz može se objasniti kao posljedica sekundarne viktimizacije, traumatizacije te trajnih promjena ličnosti uzrokovanih PTSP-om. Istraživanjem je utvrđena značajna povezanost između institucionalne potpore, primarno državne i zdravstvene, sa simptomima PTSP-a. Važnost ovog rezultata se temelji na mogućem poboljšanju institucionalne skrbi radi smanjivanja simptoma unutar ove osjetljive populacije

Does Shoot Age Influence Biological and Chemical Properties in Black Currant (Ribes nigrum L.) Cultivars?

The aim of this study was to examine the influence of shoot age on the biological and chemical properties of 13 black currant cultivars with different origins and ripening times. Pheno-logical observations together with examined pomological and chemical characteristics were studied in two consecutive years at the experimental field near Belgrade, Serbia. The total content of phenols was estimated spectrophotometrically by the Folin-Ciocalteu method, while quantitative analysis of anthocyanin and flavonols aglycones was performed using a high-performance liquid chromato-graphic (HPLC) method. Principal component analysis was performed to establish differences in biological and chemical properties of black currants. Three-year-old shoots had an earlier start of all examined phenological stages, better generative potential, higher yields, while clusters and berries from 2-year-old shoots had significantly higher values for physical properties, total phenols, anthocyanin and flavanols aglycones and antiradical capacity. Late ripening cultivars had higher contents of all chemical compounds. The berries on 2-year-old shoots had total phenolics that ranged between 123.0 (‘Titania’) and 298.3 mg/100 g fresh weight (FW) (‘Ometa’), while total antho-cyanins ranged between 398.5 (’Ojebyn’) and 1160.8 mg/kg FW (’Ometa’). According to the obtained results, cultivars ‘Ometa’, ‘Ben Lomond’, ‘Tsema’ and ‘Malling Juel’ can be recommended as the most promising for growing in the continental climate because they stood out with higher generative potential and yield, physical traits of cluster and berry, higher level of primary and secondary metabolites and DPPH activity in their berries
