Background: Many studies have highlighted the positive effects of dance in people with neurodegenerative diseases. Objectives: To explore International Ballroom Dancing on cognitive function elders amnestic mild impairment (aMCI). Methods: One-hundred twenty-nine elderly patients aMCI diagnosis (mean age 66.8 ± 10.1 years) were randomly assigned into 2 groups: intervention group (IG, n = 66) and control (CG, 63). The IG exercised systematically for 10 months, both groups submitted to...
Background: Assistive technology, in the form of a smart home environment, is employed to support people with dementia. Objectives: To propose system for continuous and objective remote monitoring problematic daily living activity areas design personalized interventions based on fee dback clinical observations improving cognitive function health-related quality life. Methods: The assistive technology proposed system, including wearable, sleep, object motion, presence, utility usage sensors,...
Flooding is one of the most destructive natural phenomena that happen worldwide, leading to damage property and infrastructure or even loss lives. The escalation in intensity number flooding events as a result combination climate change anthropogenic factors motivates need adopt real-time solutions for mapping flood hazards risks. In this study, methodological framework proposed enables assessment hazard risk levels severity dynamically by fusing optical remote sensing (Sentinel-1) GIS-based...
There is evidence to suggest the efficacy of Crocus (saffron) in management cognitive decline. This study examined patients with amnesic and multi domain MCI (aMCImd). The participants included 17 on 18 a waiting list, who were short neuropsychological battery, MRI 3T, while some via 256-channel electroencephalogram (HD-EEG) at baseline after 12 months. results showed that had improved Mini-Mental State Examination scores (p = 0.015), control group deteriorated. Also, MRI, EEG, ERP...
Abstract The rise of Internet Things (IoT), coupled with the advances in Artificial Intelligence technologies and cloud-based applications, have caused fundamental changes way societies behave. Enhanced connectivity interactions between physical cyber worlds create ‘smart’ solutions applications to serve society's needs. Water is a vital resource its management critical issue. ICT achievements gradually deployed within water industry provide an alternative, smart novel improve efficiently....
Social media play an important role in the daily life of people around globe and users have emerged as active part news distribution well production. The threatening pandemic COVID-19 has been lead subject online discussions posts, resulting to large amounts related social data, which can be utilised reinforce crisis management several ways. Towards this direction, we propose a novel framework collect, analyse, visualise Twitter tailored specifically monitor virus spread severely affected...
Abstract Research on computer‐supported collaborative learning (CSCL) has strongly emphasized the value of providing student support either fixed (e.g. collaboration scripts) or dynamic form adaptive supportive interventions). Currently, however, there is not sufficient evidence corroborating potential methods to improve domain‐knowledge acquisition in activities. Furthermore, available CSCL systems are difficult integrate everyday instruction because most them research prototypes. This...
Participation in the labor market is seen as most important factor favoring long-term integration of migrants and refugees into society. This paper describes job recommendation framework Integration Migrants MatchER SErvice (IMMERSE). The proposed acts a matching tool that enables contexts individual refugees, including their expectations, languages, educational background, previous experience skills, to be captured ontology facilitate with opportunities available host country. Profile...
Background: Although cognitive training is effective for people with mild impairment (MCI), it not clear which format more effective. Objective: To compare the effectiveness of same language programs when carried out via computer, paper/pencil and orally in MCI. Methods: Seventy-one participants MCI were randomly classified 3 experimental 2 control groups. The groups attended 48 sessions 6 months. either unstructured or they on waiting list. Results: Mixed measures analysis variance, at...
The objective of Dem@Care is the development a complete system providing personal health services to people with dementia, as well medical professionals and caregivers, by using multitude sensors, for context-aware, multi-parametric monitoring lifestyle, ambient environment, parameters. Multi-sensor data analysis, combined intelligent decision making mechanisms, will allow an accurate representation person's current status provide appropriate feedback, both person associated enhancing...
This paper presents a novel warning system framework for detecting people and vehicles in danger. The was tested several images compiled from Flickr other social media sources is highly suggested to get integrated future surveillance safety systems preventing or solving crisis events. proposed recruits State-of-the-Art deep learning technologies so as solve series of image processing machine challenges provides near real-time localization solution scoring severity levels flood fire images.
Collaboration scripts are didactic scenarios that guide and support groups of learners in collaborative learning. Adaptive collaboration scripting is the idea can be adapted during run time several their aspects, to provide learning experiences tailored individual group characteristics. In order build systems this type adaptation, one needs implement adaptation models consider both user characteristics (at and/or level) script features. Especially for latter, it important distinguish between...
The goal of ambient assisted living (AAL) is to help and support elderly persons manage everyday activities using intelligent pervasive computing technologies. One the main issues regarding people with dementia designing integrating user-centered AAL environments assist these in their daily life activities. These systems should enable cognitive impairments optimize functioning context, order prevent or reduce excess disability, thus improve quality well-being. This paper presents elements a...
This paper presents the colMOOC project perspective for integrating a conversational agent service in Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) to facilitate peer dialogue during chat-based activities. Furthermore, it provides high level system architecture highlight key aspects of technology infrastructure and functionality software system. The rationale approach follows tenets several converging theoretical perspectives emphasizing value learners' constructive argumentation as knowledge building...
This work presents a prototype method (DeACS) for identifying useful adaptation patterns to be embedded in systems adaptive collaboration scripting. Collaboration scripts are didactic scenarios that guide and support the collaborative learning activity while scripting is idea computer-supported can adapted during run time, provide experiences tailored individual group characteristics. An pattern described as well-defined process initiated by system when specific conditions identified script...
Research in the field of computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) has systematically indicated that providing adaptive support to collaborating students is an efficient way improving outcomes activity. In this paper we introduce MentorChat, a web-based system supports by utilizing Conversational Agent. This agent, which can be easily configured through MentorChat authoring environment, aims intelligently facilitate and trigger discussion takes place among partners. To achieve this,...
