Context server on a mobile device

Da bi mobilne aplikacije lahko učinkovito nudile vse svoje storitev in jih prilagodile uporabniku, bi morale pri tem uporabiti ves kontekst uporabnika in njegove okolice. V obstoječih raziskavah to nalogo prevzema poseben kontekstni strežnik, ki skrbi za zbiranje podatkov ter posredovanje informacij aplikaciji. V primeru, da bi tak kontekstni strežnik deloval na mobilni napravi, bi bila postopoma odpravljena potreba po omenjenem sistemu. V sklopu naloge smo predlagani model kontekstnega strežnika uspešno implementirali in njegovo delovanje preizkusili s pomočjo kontekstno odvisne aplikacije, ki deluje na principu tekstovne klasifikacije uporabnikovih vnosov v spletnih iskalnikih in njegovi trenutni lokaciji. Aplikaciji omenjenih podatkov ni potrebno zajeti ročno, saj so ti ob pojavitvi novega podatka avtomatično posredovani preko kontekstnega strežnika.In order for mobile applications to efficiently offer all of their services and adjust them according to the end user, they would need to monitor all of his context and surroundings. In the existing researches this is done by a special context server which is responsible for data retrieval and transmission of information application. In the event, when the context server would work on a mobile device, the before mentioned system would gradually not be needed anymore. In the context of the thesis we have successfully implemented the proposed model of context server and tested it with a context application, which operates in the principle of text classification of user entries in the search engines and its current location. The application of this data does not need to be captured manually, since they are automatically transmitted to the server when the new data appears

Periungual lipoma: about three cases.

Lipomas are one of the most common benign soft tissue tumors. The usual development sites are the neck, the torso, and the legs. Lipomas of the nail unit are extremely rare. Only five cases have been reported up to now, four in subungual locations and one in the lateral nail fold. We report three cases of peri-ungual lipomas, one on the digit and two on the toes. Two of them exhibited the histological features of perisudoral lipomas.Case ReportsJournal Articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe

Effects of Repetitive Administration of Growth Hormone-Releasing Hormone on Growth Hormone Secretion, Insulin-Like Growth Factor I, and Bone Metabolism in Postmenopausal Women

This study sought to determine whether GH response to synthetic GHRH was impaired in 13 postmenopausal (55-71 years) as compared with that in 8 eugonadal women and whether IGF-I and bone metabolism were consequently depressed. Thereafter, the effects of daily iv injections of 80-micrograms GHRH-44 for 8 days were studied in the same postmenopausal group. In addition to significantly higher basal IGF-I and osteocalcin levels (P less than 0.005) in eugonadal as compared with the postmenopausal women, the administration of one GHRH-44 injection resulted in significantly higher 120-min postinjection GH maximum peak and cumulative responses in the former group as well (P less than 0.005). Highly significant correlations were observed between 17 beta-estradiol plasma levels and either GH maximum peak or cumulative responses to GHRH-44 when both groups were pooled together, but not when considered independently. In postmenopausal women, a correlation was found between both age and duration of menopause and GH responses. Repeated GHRH-44 injections in postmenopausal women induced a significant increase in GH response (P less than 0.001) as well as in IGF-I levels from day 4 to 8. No phospho-calcium parameters were modified except for a significant rise in osteocalcin from day 2 to 8. These data indicate an age-related loss of sensitivity of somatotrope cells to GHRH-44 in postmenopausal women, partly corrected by repeated daily GHRH-44 injections. As a consequence of the GHRH-induced increase in GH secretion, IGF-I was also enhanced and may be responsible for a stimulatory effect on bone formation, as shown by the osteocalcin increase, uncoupled from bone resorption

Judging the quality of customer segments: segmentation effectiveness

Market segmentation is well established in marketing theory and applied by organisations from all industry sectors. Despite widespread use, developing and implementing segmentation schemes is rarely problem free. Testing the quality and robustness of segments is one of the difficulties which marketers face. The literature describes segment quality criteria which are intended to help with this task, yet there is little evidence of their deployment and efficacy in practice. Using a longitudinal case study from the Eastern European mobile phone market, the practical application, impact and efficacy of these segment quality criteria are examined. The findings reveal the value of combining 'hard' statistical and 'soft' segment quality criteria to test the validity and robustness of segmentation outputs prior to implementing the segmentation. Implications from this case for managers seeking to select and deploy suitable quality criteria are considered
