This document presents a framework designed using Asterisk to provide computer access to visually impaired users via telephone. The framework takes DTMF input from the user's phone as commands and provides output via text-to-speech. It allows customization by being built on the open-source Asterisk platform. The system maintains a client-server model where a computer with Asterisk acts as the server and a Bluetooth-connected phone is the client. When a call is received, an interactive voice response menu is provided using text-to-speech to allow the user to select and execute programs on the server computer remotely via phone commands.

The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
Francisco Sátiro had a dream where he discovered a new planet with three-eyed beings who did not speak his languages. Over a period of months, he found a new transportation method called "jetpacks" and eventually opened a successful jetpack store, becoming popular and wealthy. However, he then woke up and realized the entire experience had just been a dream.

This study examined the effects of applying a 40% chlorhexidine varnish on dental plaque. 40 volunteers participated in a clinical trial where their plaque levels, gingival bleeding, and bacterial colony counts were measured after applying the varnish or not applying anything. The results showed that applying the chlorhexidine varnish significantly decreased plaque levels and gingival bleeding in volunteers with poor oral hygiene. It also reduced the frequency of high bacterial colony counts. The varnish was most effective at reducing plaque for patients with high baseline plaque levels. Regular application of chlorhexidine varnish can be an effective way to reduce caries risk for patients with poor oral hygiene.
This document discusses the relationship between oral health and quality of life. It presents a literature review on articles published between 1990 and 2004 analyzing this relationship. The review found that temporomandibular disorders and tooth loss in diabetes patients were highly associated with reduced health-related quality of life, while dissatisfaction with teeth and dry mouth also contributed to lower quality of life. However, edentulism, periodontal disease, and dental caries were not correlated with health-related quality of life. The discussion notes a lack of suitable instruments for measuring oral health has made research on this relationship difficult.
La Unión Europea ha acordado un embargo petrolero contra Rusia en respuesta a la invasión de Ucrania. El embargo prohibirá las importaciones marítimas de petróleo ruso a la UE y pondrá fin a las entregas a través de oleoductos dentro de seis meses. Esta medida forma parte de un sexto paquete de sanciones de la UE destinadas a aumentar la presión económica sobre el gobierno de Putin.

This document reviews the clinical application and performance of pit and fissure sealants. It finds that placement of resin-based sealants on children's and adolescents' permanent molars is effective for caries reduction, with reductions ranging from 58.6% to 86% over 1 to 4 years. Sealants are also effective in reducing caries when reapplied and remain retained on primary molars at rates of 70.6% to 96.3% over 1 to 2.8 years. The use of sealants is associated with reductions in subsequent restorative dental services.
This document discusses the oral health of psychiatric patients. It notes that psychiatric patients are likely to report dental problems and lack preventive dental care due to the unavailability of dental personnel and lack of full-time dental facilities in hospitals. The document presents results from a study using a 18 question instrument to assess nurses' knowledge of patients' oral health, which had an 89.5% response rate. It concludes that training nurses on oral care delivery and attaching dentists to hospitals is important for comprehensively caring for the oral health of psychiatric patients.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against developing mental illness and improve symptoms for those who already suffer from conditions like anxiety and depression.

The document discusses the results of a study on the effects of a new drug on memory and cognitive function in older adults. The double-blind study involved 100 participants aged 65-80 who were given either the drug or a placebo daily for 6 months. Researchers found that those who received the drug performed significantly better on memory and problem-solving tests at the end of the study compared to those who received the placebo.
Curiosity's science objectives are to explore the habitability of Mars by studying the geology, environment, and potential for past life. It landed in Gale Crater, which preserves a record of diverse sedimentary environments and contains Mount Sharp. Analysis of rocks and sand at Yellowknife Bay found evidence of a ancient habitable environment with sustained water interaction and minerals that could have supported microbial life. Curiosity will continue exploring Mount Sharp to understand the planet's climate history recorded in its layers.
This document provides an overview of user experience (UX) research conducted at the Musei Capitolini museum. It discusses why UX research is important, how the research was conducted, how the data was analyzed, and next steps. The research involved fieldwork where researchers acted as tourists, shadowing and observing real tourists, and interviews with tourists, staff and stakeholders. Data was analyzed using a User Ethnographic Map to identify key categories like what users say, do, feel etc. Next steps include inventorying and categorizing the data and creating mental models of the tourist experience. The document was presented by the "UXL" research team led by a tutor.

In de Flevopolder is een wrak gevonden met daarin de inventaris van een familie De Jong uit Sneek. De vraag is nu hoe het schip heette dat eind 1826/begin 1827 op de Zuiderzee verging. Onderzoek van Hans Zijlstra, Joran Smale, Nykle Dijkstra, Jacob Roep en Jelle Jan Koopmans. Artikel in Leeuwarder Courant van Erwin Boers, redacteur Erfgoed.
Hopelijk hebben genealogen in de omgeving Sneek al eerder naar deze familie van Johannes Cornelis de Jong en Aafke Hoekstra en hun schip onderzoek gedaan.

Maandag 5 augustus zou de Zangeres zonder Naam, Mary Servaes, 100 jaar geworden zijn. Opvallend genoeg is het feest niet in Stramproy te vinden, maar in haar geboortestad Leiden. De Zuid-Hollandse stad heeft talrijke activiteiten op de rol staan in het ‘Mary Servaes Jaar’ met zelfs een pop-upmuseumpje.
3. HERINNERINGSLEPEL
Al sinds de 17e eeuw kent men in Nederland de herinneringslepel. Deze
werd gegeven als aandenken aan een bepaalde gebeurtenis en wanneer er
moeilijke tijden zouden komen, kon de lepel verkocht worden voor de
zilverwaarde. Vooral in Friesland kwam dit gebruik veel voor.
Nu is er in mijn familie één herinneringslepel. De lepel is van mijn oma, zij
heeft hem ook weer van haar oma gehad. Deze oma van mijn oma heeft de
lepel ook weer van haar oma gehad, Aafke Willems Swart geboren op 30
December 1869. Haar naam staat ook in de lepel gegraveerd.
Al deze vrouwen hebben één ding gemeenschappelijk; ze dragen allemaal
de naam Aafke. Mijn tweede naam is ook Aafke, later wordt het dus mijn
lepel. Ik vind het mooi om te zien hoe een herinneringslepel een familiestuk
wordt die van generatie op generatie wordt overgedragen. Alleen was er
over mijn lepel vrijwel niks bekend, ik vond het hoog tijd om daar verandering
in te brengen.
4. HERKOMST
Het enige wat mijn oma mij kon vertellen was dat het een krentenlepel is.
Maar daar is de lepel nooit voor gebruikt, omdat die daar te mooi voor was.
Op het handvat staan drie merkjes en in de bak staat een jaarletter. De
jaarletter verwijst naar het jaar 1827, hoewel Aafke Willems Swart in 1869 is
geboren. Er zit dus 32 jaar tussen de maak van de lepel en het moment
waarop de lepel bij ons in de familie kwam. Aan de inscriptie is te zien dat er
eerst een andere naam in heeft gestaan. Dat verklaard het verschil.
Wanneer er financieel moeilijke tijden waren werd het zilverwerk verkocht om
het leven iets te veraangenamen. Dit kwam wel vaker voor. De inscriptie
werd er dan uitpoetst en de lepel weer de verkoop in.
Een ander merkje verwijst naar de Sneker zilversmid Meinardus Warren.
Leuk om te vertellen dat er ook werk van hem in het Rijksmuseum ligt.
5. UITERLIJK
Het handvat versiert met organische vormen en het er aan de bovenkant een
vrouw met een kruis en een bijbel afgebeeld. Deze steelbekroning stelt een
personificatie van het geloof voor.
In vergelijking met andere herinneringslepels, is mijn lepel vrij eenvoudig
maar nog in zeer goede staat. Het is duidelijk te zien dat de lepel met zorg is
onderhouden door haar eigenaressen.
6. TENSLOTTE
Mijn oma is zeer trots op de naam Aafke en de
lepel die daarbij hoort. Stiekem ben ik dat ook
wel, want een lepel van ruim anderhalve eeuw
oud, die ook nog eens bij mijn naam hoort, dat
komt niet veel voor. Wanneer de tijd daar is zal
ik de lepel ook met veel zorg bewaren en zal ik
er alles aan doen om de traditie voort zetten.
