Chronic Lumbalgia

In literature there is a confusion about the etymology and the prevalence of lumbar pain, especially for chronic lumbar pain. Chronic lumbar pain generally defines that kind of a kind of chronic pathology which lasts more than 7-12 weeks. Some of the other authors define it as chronic disorder which is extended beyond the time that a cure or significant improvement is expected. Several authors have found a correlation between chronic back pain with a certain socioeconomic status and psychological or sociological problems of patients. Private or public health insurance companies use other criteria and often different for chronic lumbagos definition based on the financial compensation paid by them over a period of time. An average of 25-30% of people have at least one episode of lumbago in the last three months with a touchscreen that runs at 75-80% over the life of an adult person. In our study were included 469 patients from 35-65 years and were followed for a period of two years 43% (201 patients) females, 57% (268 patients) males.Keywords: back pain, lumbago, hernia, vertebral column

Application Integration for Sustainability Smart Tourism Model in Indonesia

The existence of the COVID-19 pandemic over the past few years has made the tourism world slump, and Indonesia is no exception. However, this creates a potential use of IT not only for managing tourism activities but also for managing risks and conflicts that arise due to pandemics or others. The existence of various integrated managements on the economic, socio-cultural, and ecological dimensions can create tourism sustainability that is supported by technological advances. The purpose of this study is to provide a comprehensive and integrated model of sustainable tourism activities supported by the use of IS/IT infrastructure. The methods used in the formation of this model are Interpretative Structural Modeling (ISM) and smart thinking. From ISM, four key components are produced, namely innovation, local wisdom, local residents resources, and revitalization of tourist destinations due to disasters. The results of this study are in the form of a smart tourism sustainability model in Indonesia which is supported by an integrated application derived from the four key component

The Socio-Demographic Data on Disabled People in the City of Cerrik

Priorities of the public health today in the whole world are the prevention of people’s disability, and especially the causes that lead to its terminal phase. The morbidity of the disease, the increase of the death rate by cardiovascular diseases at 53%, the increase of disease by tumors, the rapid increase of death cases due to road accidents in our country, the low access to health services make the public health services even more tangible. On the other hand the low quality of the health service, the lack of or the incomplete coverage due to high costs for the disabled persons, make the treatment of these patients an even more difficult task. The Albanian society spends large amounts of money on such categories of patients, who are considered parasite people, as their contribution to the society is scarce

Structural Investigations for the Refurbishment Project of the Municipal Building of Gjakova

This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the structural investigations performed on the existing municipal building of Gjakova, intended to be refurbished as part of the Refurbishment project by the European Commission. The municipal building of Gjakova built in the end of 1960s is a reinforced concrete structure with bearing masonry walls which are scattered without any logical pattern. This structural system poses a great challange for the seismic assessment of this building. In order to obtain the confidence factors and the mechanical parameters for the appropriate numerical modeling, a series of structural investigations is carried out in detail. Initially a visual inspection is conducted, and a photographic survey is carried out with a detailed marking of each picture to visualize the building and plan the detailed inspection. The detailed plan is drafted in compliance with the gathered information and the existing documentation, so that maximal information concerned with the structure is acquired with the most minimal interferring. The detailed scrutiny is carried out in a series of frequent site visits and through the help of the measurement techniques a precise geometry is formed which supports the following phases. To obtain the correct mechanical parameters with very few damages to the structural elements a combination of destructive and non-destructive methods is utilized. Reinforced concrete core samples and reinforcement samples are drilled from the structural elements and combined with the rebound hammer measurements, a correlation is formed between these two. The reinforcement is located with the help of the profoscope and a discrepancy between the old drawings and the actual structure is noted. Afterwards, a spreadout testing utilizing the rebound hammer and the profoscope is carried out to achieve the required number of measurements. A compilation of all this information is utilized to assess the structural integrity of the structure and obtain the mechanical parameters. A qualitative measurement is performed for the structural arrangement of the elements and the regularity parameters are assessed as per the Eurocode 8 demands. With the data obtained from the measurements and the testing, reliable mechanical parameters and confidence factors are achieved to form a numerical model which represents appropriately the real building

MDSA, MULTI DECISION SCHEDULING ALGORITHM FOR UE ENERGY POWER SAVING ON MOBILE NETWORKS

Nowadays general different kind of recurrent network applications on mobile phones are like: news feed, podcast and e-mail which mostly run in the background and are a significant source of power consumption on battery limited mobile phones. Theory of scheduling such applications by prioritizing and evaluating step by step based on many conditions (or even parameters, timers) like radio network parameters, timeout values, coverage conditions or RSSI, switching between 2G and 3G on packet data, etc is our main focus on this paper. Cellular network providers typically try to control these timeout values, though some mobile devices use a technique called fast dormancy in order to reduce the time out duration which mostly results in huge power consumption for end user. The duration of this timeout, which ranges from a few seconds to ten seconds or more, is chosen to balance the cost of signaling for resource allocation to move a radio into active state (and the resulting latency and energy costs on the device) and the wasted resources due to maintaining a radio unnecessarily in active state. We also illustrate the significant energy savings that can be achieved via scheduling of recurrent mobile phone applications considering some network parameters, conditions and also user activity time (clock time) and phone battery condition as an add. These kinds of applications such as email syncing, facebook or photo uploads can defer communication, up to a point, without sacrificing service and user perception. Other applications such as on-demand streaming can prefetch content in anticipation of future need and this will not be considered for now on our study. The other very common service for mobile users is voice and by transmitting data when a call is active brings an extension on mobile phones battery life
