Abstract
Chronic diseases represent a significant share of the burden of disease globally. They are responsible for 86% of premature deaths in Europe. Unhealthy behaviours, such as physical inactivity, insufficient sleep, poor nutrition, and tobacco intake, explain up to 50% of chronic disease risk. However, the evidence is not precise enough to assess the risk for each disease. Human subject studies monitoring behaviours over long periods (longitudinally) during daily life (in situ) by leveraging unobtrusive (observational) technology can allow human behaviours to unfold. They can not only qualify, but also quantify the relationships between behaviours, health, and Quality of Life (QoL) outcomes from compliant participants.
This PhD thesis explores two research areas. In the first area, we research the motivation and facilitation of participation in human subject studies. We propose a presentational model using personalised stories to improve human studies’ participation. We design two unifying frameworks for conducting a wide range of human subject studies (mQoL mobile app, mQoL-Chat chatbot). They leverage two modules designed and developed by the author in mQoL-Lab, the lab platform of the Quality of Life Technologies lab.
In the second area, we research the relationships between behavioural, health, and QoL outcomes (co-calibration). We present the coQoL computational model for co-calibration. We demonstrate its feasibility in a study on N = 42 healthy older individuals (a population at risk, appropriate for disease prevention, and having benefitted from insufficient co-calibrations). They answered questionnaires on eight physical and psychological validated scales (physical activity: IPAQ, social support:
MSPSS, anxiety and depression: GADS, nutrition: PREDIMED and SelfMNA, memory: MFE, sleep: PSQI, and health-related QoL: EQ-5D-3L). They wore consumer wearables (Fitbit Charge 2) for up to two years. The wearables reported behavioural markers (physical activity, sleep, heart rate) in situ. We observed new relationships between these outcomes. We described the study’s human factors and data quality.
The scientific contributions in both research areas can inform the design of future studies leveraging consumer technology that monitors behaviours longitudinally in situ to assess and improve health and QoL.

A multidisciplinary reflexion on health issues of the 21st century could lead to innovative solutions. One of the challenges to overcome in the coming decades is how to support the increasing number of chronic patients in a pressured healthcare ecology. Patients in chronic disease management are expected to increasingly use Information and Communication Technology (ICT) for self-care during their treatment process and for co-decision with health care providers. The application of these types of information and communication technology is looked upon as one of the ways to get both patients and healthcare providers more involved in their treatment and to increase the health related quality of care, according to the WHO. Connecting patients and health care professionals would not only improve the technical system of communicating but also triggers social innovations of care models in which new ways of interacting and deciding improves the diagnostics and treatment. So far, a general overview of the extent and nature of published research involving this subset of ICT-interventions is lacking. Based on a scoping review conducted by Wildevuur e.o cancer was chosen as a case study to research how ICT could support cancer-patients in a person-centred approach to care.

DOCTORAL STUDY ORAL DEFENSE - MEDICAL IDENTITY THEFT AND PALM VEIN AUTHENTICA...CRUZ CERDA
The Federal Bureau of Investigation reported that cyber actors will likely increase cyber intrusions against health care systems and their concomitant medical devices because of the mandatory transition from paper to electronic health records, lax cyber security standards, and a higher financial payout for medical records in the deep web. The problem addressed in this quantitative correlational study was uncertainty surrounding the benefits of palm vein authentication adoption relative to the growing crime of medical identity theft. The purpose of this quantitative correlational study was to understand healthcare managers’ and doctors’ perceptions of the effectiveness of palm vein authentication technology. The research questions were designed to investigate the relationship between intention to adopt palm vein authentication technology and perceived usefulness, complexity, security, peer influence, and relative advantage. The unified theory of acceptance and use of technology was the theoretical basis for this quantitative study. Data were gathered through an anonymous online survey of 109 healthcare managers and doctors, and analyzed using principal axis factoring, Pearson's product moment correlation, multiple linear regression, and one-way analysis of variance.
The data in the current study contributes to the field of management by providing to healthcare leaders and policymakers the daily perceptions of healthcare managers and doctors about palm vein authentication systems. The results of this study may help leaders of hospitals and other healthcare providers understand the perspectives of healthcare managers, and therefore, enable them to shape policies and procedures that guide the adoption of palm vein authentication systems to mitigate the risk of medical fraud, improve patient identification, and increase patient safety.

Assignment: Locating an Empirical Research Article
Empirical research articles document a study that is either quantitative, qualitative or a mixed methods research design. When authors write an empirical research article they typically follow a format that looks like this: Introduction/Background, Literature Review, Methodology, Findings, and Discussion. The authors recount literature on their specific research topic and describe in a systematic manner how the data was collected and then analyzed in order to answer the research question(s). Once the data is analyzed, they present the findings. Finally, they interpret the findings using past literature to help understand the findings.
What we broadly describe as a “quantitative study” includes numerical summaries that involve descriptive statistics (averages, standard deviations), correlations, and inferential statistics (such as T-tests, Chi Squares and other kinds of analyses). These kinds of studies can include certain elements such as per- and post-tests or survey results looking at correlations between variables.
Qualitative articles, on the other hand, use interviews, focus groups, observations, and written answers to questions. Rather than using statistics to summarize the study, these studies look at themes and present the material using words, phrases and often paragraphs to illustrate what they are representing.
To prepare for this assignment, review Week 1’s readings and resources on how to locate an empirical research article using the library’s databases.
For this Assignment,
· Locate an empirical research article that is either a quantitative or qualitative study from a peer reviewed social work journal for the final assignment.
· Do not select an empirical research article that describes a mixed methods study. The reason is because a mixed method study involves both a quantitative and qualitative component. You would have to do two reviews – one for the quantitative component and one for the qualitative component -- for the final assignment.
· Upload the article. Your instructor will review the article to make sure it is an empirical resear.
Abstract
As mobile devices become ubiquitous, healthcare practitioners are exploring how using technological support in the workplace could advance their practice, communication and learning. This paper discusses findings from a research study funded by the Higher Education Academy (HEA) in the UK, which investigated how using iPads impacted on physiotherapy and occupational therapy students’ learning, reflective practice and communication with peers and tutors during placement cycles. Similar to research carried out amongst physicians in 2009, the students found that the devices collapse ‘time and space’, because they permit users to access data and resources when moving between patients, wards and clinics (Prgoment et al., 2009). The paper also discusses how students used the iPads to interact with other professionals and patients while in hospital and community settings, as well as the usability of the devices and associated apps for improving their learning (Clay, 2010). Apps were found to be good tools for documenting individual learning histories, engaging with learning objects and developing personalised structured education (Ifenthaler & Schweinbenz, 2013). The project adopted a participatory action research approach. Eighteen student participants used iPads during their placements in a variety of settings for a period of 5 – 10 weeks. The students were supported by visiting tutors and practice educators over an eight-month period. Interviews and focus groups were conducted with students, visiting tutors and practice educators to ascertain the utility and acceptance of the devices in practice settings. The Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model developed by Venkatesh, V. et al. (2003) is used to analyse the acceptability and efficiency of the devices in clinical settings. In particular, the research focuses on why user acceptance is challenged by established practitioners, and why healthcare settings have not adapted their environs and infrastructure so mobile devices can be used more readily by practitioners.

Abstract
Effective patient adherence management strategies require better understanding of patient-generated data, including patient-reported data and measurements from devices and sensors, as key to assisting providers in learning more about their patients’needs and enhancing patient centric care. Gaining “meaningful use” of patient-generated data could ultimately lead to improvements in patient safety and outcomes. In this workshop, we review proof of concept studies using technology to assess patient health literacy and self-efficacy with the goal of providing timely intervention, remedy, and improvements in cost and quality of care. In particular, we focus on engagement-enabling technolgoies that can leverage non-clinical information sources and reflect patient activities in the “wild”. We look into barriers to adherence, patients and providers roles in improving adherence, and the use of technology to assist patients in staying on track. The speakers will address the issues related tothe integration of patient-generated data into everyday life and clinical practice and share lessons learned from implementing these designs in practice. This workshop aims to share requirements gathered for the design of next-generation healthcare systems, especially in areas where the explosive availability of patient-generated data is expected to make impacts.
Accessing and Sharing Electronic Personal Health Data.Maria Karampela
An increasing attention has been given to personal health data (PHD) research over the last years. The rise of researchers’ interest could be attributed to the increasing amount of PHD that are stored across various databases, as a result of individuals’ rapidly- evolving digital life. Accessing and sharing PHD is essential to create personalized health services and to involve patients in the design process of these services. This paper conducts a survey of literature to present an overview of literature about accessing and sharing of PHD. This study aims to identify limitations in research and propose future directions. Sixteen studies were selected from various bibliographic databases and were classified according to three criteria: research type, empirical type and contribution type. The results provide a preliminary review with respect to access and sharing of PHD, addressing a need for more research about PHD accessibility and for solution proposals for both topics.

Key Topics in Health Care Technology Evaluation
The amount of new information and data, and the number of available technologies are growing at an ever-accelerating rate. Did you know that during any given 24 hours, humanity generates enough new information to fill the Library of Congress 70 times (Smolan & Erwitt, 2012)? As a nurse informaticist, it is important to keep current on new developments in the field, but with the rapid pace of change, that effort can be overwhelming. It is easier to keep current with key trends if nurse informaticists focus on selected issues.
In this Discussion, you consider key topics in the field of health care technology. You then consider the different approaches you could take when designing an evaluation in these areas. For example, if you are interested in usability, your goal could be to determine if a system is user friendly from the viewpoint of a nurse. A different goal might be to determine if the location of the system facilitates ease of use from the viewpoint of physicians.
Note:
This Discussion serves as practice for the first part of your Evaluation Project. What you derive from your Discussion with colleagues will likely inform the work that you do in Part 1 of the Evaluation Project.
The Discussion focuses on the following major topics in the health care information field:
Implementing HIT Systems
Consumer health information
Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE)
Decision support systems
Electronic health records (EHR)
Tele-medicine and eHealth
Nursing documentation
Other Issues Related to the Use of HIT Systems
Interoperability
Unforeseen consequences
Usability
To prepare:
Select at least
two
topics from the
lists above
that are relevant to your current organization or that are of particular interest to you. Read the articles in this week’s Learning Resources that relate to these topics. Consider why these topics are of interest to you, what relevance they have to health care organizations, and how they impact your professional responsibilities. Choose one topic to be the focus of your Evaluation Project, and consider potential evaluation goals.

DOCTORAL STUDY ORAL DEFENSE - MEDICAL IDENTITY THEFT AND PALM VEIN AUTHENTICA...CRUZ CERDA
The Federal Bureau of Investigation reported that cyber actors will likely increase cyber intrusions against health care systems and their concomitant medical devices because of the mandatory transition from paper to electronic health records, lax cyber security standards, and a higher financial payout for medical records in the deep web. The problem addressed in this quantitative correlational study was uncertainty surrounding the benefits of palm vein authentication adoption relative to the growing crime of medical identity theft. The purpose of this quantitative correlational study was to understand healthcare managers’ and doctors’ perceptions of the effectiveness of palm vein authentication technology. The research questions were designed to investigate the relationship between intention to adopt palm vein authentication technology and perceived usefulness, complexity, security, peer influence, and relative advantage. The unified theory of acceptance and use of technology was the theoretical basis for this quantitative study. Data were gathered through an anonymous online survey of 109 healthcare managers and doctors, and analyzed using principal axis factoring, Pearson's product moment correlation, multiple linear regression, and one-way analysis of variance.
The data in the current study contributes to the field of management by providing to healthcare leaders and policymakers the daily perceptions of healthcare managers and doctors about palm vein authentication systems. The results of this study may help leaders of hospitals and other healthcare providers understand the perspectives of healthcare managers, and therefore, enable them to shape policies and procedures that guide the adoption of palm vein authentication systems to mitigate the risk of medical fraud, improve patient identification, and increase patient safety.

Assignment: Locating an Empirical Research Article
Empirical research articles document a study that is either quantitative, qualitative or a mixed methods research design. When authors write an empirical research article they typically follow a format that looks like this: Introduction/Background, Literature Review, Methodology, Findings, and Discussion. The authors recount literature on their specific research topic and describe in a systematic manner how the data was collected and then analyzed in order to answer the research question(s). Once the data is analyzed, they present the findings. Finally, they interpret the findings using past literature to help understand the findings.
What we broadly describe as a “quantitative study” includes numerical summaries that involve descriptive statistics (averages, standard deviations), correlations, and inferential statistics (such as T-tests, Chi Squares and other kinds of analyses). These kinds of studies can include certain elements such as per- and post-tests or survey results looking at correlations between variables.
Qualitative articles, on the other hand, use interviews, focus groups, observations, and written answers to questions. Rather than using statistics to summarize the study, these studies look at themes and present the material using words, phrases and often paragraphs to illustrate what they are representing.
To prepare for this assignment, review Week 1’s readings and resources on how to locate an empirical research article using the library’s databases.
For this Assignment,
· Locate an empirical research article that is either a quantitative or qualitative study from a peer reviewed social work journal for the final assignment.
· Do not select an empirical research article that describes a mixed methods study. The reason is because a mixed method study involves both a quantitative and qualitative component. You would have to do two reviews – one for the quantitative component and one for the qualitative component -- for the final assignment.
· Upload the article. Your instructor will review the article to make sure it is an empirical resear.
Abstract
As mobile devices become ubiquitous, healthcare practitioners are exploring how using technological support in the workplace could advance their practice, communication and learning. This paper discusses findings from a research study funded by the Higher Education Academy (HEA) in the UK, which investigated how using iPads impacted on physiotherapy and occupational therapy students’ learning, reflective practice and communication with peers and tutors during placement cycles. Similar to research carried out amongst physicians in 2009, the students found that the devices collapse ‘time and space’, because they permit users to access data and resources when moving between patients, wards and clinics (Prgoment et al., 2009). The paper also discusses how students used the iPads to interact with other professionals and patients while in hospital and community settings, as well as the usability of the devices and associated apps for improving their learning (Clay, 2010). Apps were found to be good tools for documenting individual learning histories, engaging with learning objects and developing personalised structured education (Ifenthaler & Schweinbenz, 2013). The project adopted a participatory action research approach. Eighteen student participants used iPads during their placements in a variety of settings for a period of 5 – 10 weeks. The students were supported by visiting tutors and practice educators over an eight-month period. Interviews and focus groups were conducted with students, visiting tutors and practice educators to ascertain the utility and acceptance of the devices in practice settings. The Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model developed by Venkatesh, V. et al. (2003) is used to analyse the acceptability and efficiency of the devices in clinical settings. In particular, the research focuses on why user acceptance is challenged by established practitioners, and why healthcare settings have not adapted their environs and infrastructure so mobile devices can be used more readily by practitioners.

Course Project: Part 3—Translating Evidence Into Practice
In Part 3 of the Course Project, you consider how the evidence you gathered during Part 2 can be translated into nursing practice.
Now that you have located available research on your PICOT question, you will examine what the research indicates about nursing practices. Connecting research evidence and findings to actual decisions and tasks that nurses complete in their daily practice is essentially what evidence-based practice is all about. This final component of the Course Project asks you to translate the evidence and data from your literature review into authentic practices that can be adopted to improve health care outcomes. In addition, you will also consider possible methods and strategies for disseminating evidence-based practices to your colleagues and to the broader health care field.
To prepare:
Consider Parts 1 and 2 of your Course Project. How does the research address your PICOT question?
PLEASE REFER TO FILES ATTACHED BELOW
With your PICOT question in mind, identify at least one nursing practice that is supported by the evidence in two or more of the articles from your literature review. Consider what the evidence indicates about how this practice contributes to better outcomes.
Explore possible consequences of failing to adopt the evidence-based practice that you identified.
Consider how you would disseminate information about this evidence-based practice throughout your organization or practice setting. How would you communicate the importance of the practice?
To complete:
In a 3- to 4-page paper:
1) Restate your PICOT question and its significance to nursing practice.
My PICOT question is:
does hand washing and appropriate staff dressing among the surgical ward nurses reduce cross infection during patient management?

Abstract
Effective patient adherence management strategies require better understanding of patient-generated data, including patient-reported data and measurements from devices and sensors, as key to assisting providers in learning more about their patients’needs and enhancing patient centric care. Gaining “meaningful use” of patient-generated data could ultimately lead to improvements in patient safety and outcomes. In this workshop, we review proof of concept studies using technology to assess patient health literacy and self-efficacy with the goal of providing timely intervention, remedy, and improvements in cost and quality of care. In particular, we focus on engagement-enabling technolgoies that can leverage non-clinical information sources and reflect patient activities in the “wild”. We look into barriers to adherence, patients and providers roles in improving adherence, and the use of technology to assist patients in staying on track. The speakers will address the issues related tothe integration of patient-generated data into everyday life and clinical practice and share lessons learned from implementing these designs in practice. This workshop aims to share requirements gathered for the design of next-generation healthcare systems, especially in areas where the explosive availability of patient-generated data is expected to make impacts.
Accessing and Sharing Electronic Personal Health Data.Maria Karampela
An increasing attention has been given to personal health data (PHD) research over the last years. The rise of researchers’ interest could be attributed to the increasing amount of PHD that are stored across various databases, as a result of individuals’ rapidly- evolving digital life. Accessing and sharing PHD is essential to create personalized health services and to involve patients in the design process of these services. This paper conducts a survey of literature to present an overview of literature about accessing and sharing of PHD. This study aims to identify limitations in research and propose future directions. Sixteen studies were selected from various bibliographic databases and were classified according to three criteria: research type, empirical type and contribution type. The results provide a preliminary review with respect to access and sharing of PHD, addressing a need for more research about PHD accessibility and for solution proposals for both topics.

Key Topics in Health Care Technology Evaluation
The amount of new information and data, and the number of available technologies are growing at an ever-accelerating rate. Did you know that during any given 24 hours, humanity generates enough new information to fill the Library of Congress 70 times (Smolan & Erwitt, 2012)? As a nurse informaticist, it is important to keep current on new developments in the field, but with the rapid pace of change, that effort can be overwhelming. It is easier to keep current with key trends if nurse informaticists focus on selected issues.
In this Discussion, you consider key topics in the field of health care technology. You then consider the different approaches you could take when designing an evaluation in these areas. For example, if you are interested in usability, your goal could be to determine if a system is user friendly from the viewpoint of a nurse. A different goal might be to determine if the location of the system facilitates ease of use from the viewpoint of physicians.
Note:
This Discussion serves as practice for the first part of your Evaluation Project. What you derive from your Discussion with colleagues will likely inform the work that you do in Part 1 of the Evaluation Project.
The Discussion focuses on the following major topics in the health care information field:
Implementing HIT Systems
Consumer health information
Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE)
Decision support systems
Electronic health records (EHR)
Tele-medicine and eHealth
Nursing documentation
Other Issues Related to the Use of HIT Systems
Interoperability
Unforeseen consequences
Usability
To prepare:
Select at least
two
topics from the
lists above
that are relevant to your current organization or that are of particular interest to you. Read the articles in this week’s Learning Resources that relate to these topics. Consider why these topics are of interest to you, what relevance they have to health care organizations, and how they impact your professional responsibilities. Choose one topic to be the focus of your Evaluation Project, and consider potential evaluation goals.

Towards personalizing participation in health studiesVlad Manea
There is substantial evidence on the relevant factors that motivate participation in human subject studies and the expectations of participants when sharing their health data for research. However, most human subject studies focus on participant eligibility and data collection, omitting even a rudimentary use of the factors that motivate participation. We illustrate an approach to use motivation to construct personalized stories and exemplify it by using a chatbot under development towards monitoring, analyzing, and influencing health study participation, engagement, and retention. Additionally, we discuss the new advantages, challenges, and unexplored avenues for research stemming from our approach.

Prototyping for knowledge based entrepreneurshipVlad Manea
Two lectures on prototyping for the Knowledge-based Entrepreneurship M.Sc. course at UCPH Innovation Hub, the University of Copenhagen in December 2015.
The contains a brief overview of our case study from an IT-research project aimed at improving coordination in elder care centers. As part of the project, we built a series of prototypes.
It then continues with a systematic description of prototypes and their properties, along with concrete examples. Several simple pieces of advice, as well as common pitfalls, are presented.
Balancing priorities: a field study of coordination in distributed elder careVlad Manea
Within elder care, an increased distribution of care poses strong requirements on the ability of health providers, to coordinate their activities across organizational boundaries.
However, existing care administration systems do not offer sufficient support for collaboration and coordination among a heterogeneous ensemble of care providers. In this paper, we present findings from a field study of coordinative work in distributed elder care in Denmark.
The purpose of the study is to further our understanding of the coordinative challenges of distributed elder care and to inform the design of new care administration systems. Overall, we found that caregivers at the care center fulfill a crucial role in prioritizing the scheduled activities in cases where opposed interests occur, which indicates a need for a care administration system, that not only supports the meticulous planning of activities, that are needed by the healthcare system, but also the work involved in balancing priorities.
Phenomics assisted breeding in crop improvementIshaGoswami9
As the population is increasing and will reach about 9 billion upto 2050. Also due to climate change, it is difficult to meet the food requirement of such a large population. Facing the challenges presented by resource shortages, climate
change, and increasing global population, crop yield and quality need to be improved in a sustainable way over the coming decades. Genetic improvement by breeding is the best way to increase crop productivity. With the rapid progression of functional
genomics, an increasing number of crop genomes have been sequenced and dozens of genes influencing key agronomic traits have been identified. However, current genome sequence information has not been adequately exploited for understanding
the complex characteristics of multiple gene, owing to a lack of crop phenotypic data. Efficient, automatic, and accurate technologies and platforms that can capture phenotypic data that can
be linked to genomics information for crop improvement at all growth stages have become as important as genotyping. Thus,
high-throughput phenotyping has become the major bottleneck restricting crop breeding. Plant phenomics has been defined as the high-throughput, accurate acquisition and analysis of multi-dimensional phenotypes
during crop growing stages at the organism level, including the cell, tissue, organ, individual plant, plot, and field levels. With the rapid development of novel sensors, imaging technology,
and analysis methods, numerous infrastructure platforms have been developed for phenotyping.
ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptxPRIYANKA PATEL
With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.
Travis Hills' Endeavors in Minnesota: Fostering Environmental and Economic Pr...Travis Hills MN
Travis Hills of Minnesota developed a method to convert waste into high-value dry fertilizer, significantly enriching soil quality. By providing farmers with a valuable resource derived from waste, Travis Hills helps enhance farm profitability while promoting environmental stewardship. Travis Hills' sustainable practices lead to cost savings and increased revenue for farmers by improving resource efficiency and reducing waste.
This presentation explores a brief idea about the structural and functional attributes of nucleotides, the structure and function of genetic materials along with the impact of UV rays and pH upon them.

Nucleophilic Addition of carbonyl compounds.pptxSSR02
Nucleophilic addition is the most important reaction of carbonyls. Not just aldehydes and ketones, but also carboxylic acid derivatives in general.
Carbonyls undergo addition reactions with a large range of nucleophiles.
Comparing the relative basicity of the nucleophile and the product is extremely helpful in determining how reversible the addition reaction is. Reactions with Grignards and hydrides are irreversible. Reactions with weak bases like halides and carboxylates generally don’t happen.
Electronic effects (inductive effects, electron donation) have a large impact on reactivity.
Large groups adjacent to the carbonyl will slow the rate of reaction.
Neutral nucleophiles can also add to carbonyls, although their additions are generally slower and more reversible. Acid catalysis is sometimes employed to increase the rate of addition.
