Instrument development to assess knowledge of lifestyle change

This study involved designing an instrument to estimate self care knowledge levels of post myocardial infarction patients. The instrument subscales were diet, smoking, exercise, signs and symptoms of cardiac distress, medications, stress and high blood pressure. Twenty-six subjects were tested following hospital discharge and again two weeks later. Test-retest reliability was performed to establish stability of the instrument. The preset criterion level of.70 for the total scale was not met. The medication subscale did meet the.70 criterion level. Reliability estimates were conducted to establish internal consistency of the instrument. The preset criterion level of.70 was not met for the total scale; however, the stress subscale did meet the.70 criterion level on the retest. Concurrent validity was estimated by comparing subscale knowledge scores with self report behavior. Point biserial coefficients did not meet the preset.70 criterion levels. These results suggest that reliability and validity estimates in the post myocardial infarction patient population were not statistically significant. (Abstract shortened with permission of author.

Analysis and Visualization of Linux Core Dumps

This thesis deals with an automated approach to analyzing Linux core dumps. Core dumps are binary files that contain the runtime memory of a process running in a Linux based operating system. The dump analysis tool extracts and visualizes relevant information from core dumps. More advanced users can start a manual debugging session from within the web interface and thereby access all functions that a conventional debugger supports. By integrating the tool into a third party issue tracking system, core dumps are fetched and analyzed automatically. Therefore, the analysis is started as soon as a core dump is uploaded into the issue tracking system. The tool also keeps track of analysis results. The collected data can be filtered and visualized in order to provide a statistical evaluation but also to detect anomalies in the crash history.Diese Arbeit befasst sich mit der automatischen Analyse von Linux Core Dumps. Core Dumps sind binäre Dateien, die das Speicherabbild eines Prozesses im Betriebssystem Linux enthalten. Das Analyse Tool extrahiert und visualisiert relevante Information aus Core Dumps. Fortgeschrittene Benutzer können über das Web Interface eine manuelle Debugging Session starten und sämtliche Befehle eines konventionellen Debuggers benutzen. Durch die Integration in ein Issue-Tracking-System kann das Tool selbständig Core Dumps finden. Dadurch kann die Analyse direkt nach dem Hochladen in das Issue-Tracking-System gestartet werden. Das Tool speichert die Ergebnisse der Analysen in einer Datenbank. Die Daten können vom Benutzer gefiltert and visualisiert werden, wodurch eine statistische Auswertung möglich wird. Ebenso können die Daten für die Erkennung von Anomalien im Crash Verlauf benutzt werden.submitted by Dominik SteinbinderUniversität Linz, Masterarbeit, 2018(VLID)258199
