EmFORE: Learning Email Folder Classification Rules by Demonstration

Tools that help with email folder management are limited, as users have to manually write rules to assign emails to folders. We present EMFORE, an iterative learning system that automatically learns and updates such rules from observations. EMFORE is fast enough to suggest and update rules in real time and suppresses mails with low confidence to reduce the number of false positives. EMFORE can use different rule grammars, and thus be adapted to different clients, without changing the user experience. Previous methods do not learn rules, require complete retraining or multiple new examples after making a mistake, and do not distinguish between inbox and other folders. EMFORE learns rules incrementally and can make the neutral decision of leaving emails in the inbox, making it an ideal candidate for integration in email clients.

A novel insecticide seed treatment formulation (Chlorantraniliprole 625 g/L FS) for yellow stem borer and leaf folder management in rice

The potential yield loss of 15-25% rice production is noticed due to different pest infestation in South Asian countries. This is due to the favorable climatic conditions for pests. It compels farmers to use a major chunk of pesticides to prevent/recover from pest attack. Hence, the field experiments were carried out to test the insecticide, Chlorantraniliprole 625 g/L FS as seed treatment formulation. It is evident from the studies undertaken during rabi 2018-19 and kharif 2018, that Chlorantraniliprole provided excellent control over yellow stem borer and leaf folder in conventional variety of rice (CR Dhan 304) and hybrid rice (28P67). Among the different doses, Chlorantraniliprole @ 75.0 g a.i/ha recorded significantly better control registering least dead heart of 5.41, 4.77, 3.43, 2.98% and 2.47% at 14, 21, 28, 35 and 42 days after transplanting, respectively. Similarly for Hybrid (28P67) trial the treatment recorded the least count of leaf folder with 0.57, 0.68, 0.74, 0.81 and 0.89 larvae/hill during the intervals of 14, 21, 28, 35 and 42 days after transplanting, respectively and the highest yield (5.46 t/ha) was registered in treatment which was significantly superior over the other entire dose rates of Chlorantraniliprole and the market standard. Thus, from this study, Chlorantraniliprole @ 75 g a.i /ha can be recommended for controlling stem borer and leaf folder in paddy (both for conventional variety and hybrid).

The Effects of Stress on Employee Performance: The Case of African Methodist Episcopal Zion Hospital in the Offinso North District of Ghana

The study sought to identify the conditions and factors that generate acute stress among the workers in the public service with particular emphasis on workers at A.M.E Zion Hospital in the Offinso North District and the extent to which it impacts on effective service delivery and performance. The in-depth semi-structured interviews were employed to obtain data. To this end, a case study methodology design was used. In all, 25 health workers were interviewed at the hospital facility, 5 at the Ante Natal Center, 6 at Reproductive child health clinic and 14 at Labour ward. Workers (nurses) were chosen for the study according to their convenience to the researcher. Qualitative data analysis was employed in order to make meaning out of the information collected. The study found out that the stress related factors among the workers were the workload, role ambiguity, role insufficiency, work family relations, adverse working conditions, career development, time pressure, individual factors. Organizational adjustment, changing global scene and working under two perceived supervisors. The physiological stress related effects also included the feeling of anxiousness, irritation and depression. Whiles being irritated, their working relations with both clients and colleagues begin to change negatively especially towards innocent clients;Â also, excessive sweating which is a sign of stress and fatigue makes the workers uncomfortable to continue working and subsequently loses interest to work and sometimes have trouble concentrating. These factors have affected the workers in several ways including reduced productivity, low employee morale to work and poor working relations. The proposed recommendations include electronic folder management system, an enhanced staff strength with proper motivation of the staff.

The two of the most popular systems were chosen which are Puppet and Ansible. The comparison was based on a simple system configuration using these two systems in several aspects: installation, file and folder management, package management, user management, configuration of the Apache server and Firewall. Through this comparison, it was possible to determine which system is more suitable for a novice Linux system administrator.

Evaluation of various IPM modules against foliage feeding insect-pests of Rice

Five Integrated Pest Management (IPM) modules were tested along with untreated control against the foliage feeding insects in rice. Over two years, the IPM module having nursery treatment with fipronil 0.3G @ 20 kg/ha + chlorantraniliprole 0.4G @ 10 kg/ha at 40 days after transplanting + buprofezin 25% SC @ 825 ml/ha foliar spray at 65 days after transplanting proved to be most effective in controlling leaf folder and case worm having highest benefit cost ratio (1.89). The treatment module constituting nursery treatment with fipronil 0.3G @ 20 kg/ha + Trichogramma japonicum + Beauveria bassiana @ 2 lt/ha foliar spray at 30 and 50 days after transplanting + neem seed kernel extract (5%) spray at 65 days after transplanting’ performed second best with respect to leaf folder and caseworm management; however showed superiority in suppressing hispa and whorl maggot, achieved benefit cost ratio (1.71). In the present context of increasing trend of insecticide resistance by the pests and environmental hazards, this experiment had the interesting finding that biopesticides, botanicals and green level pesticides can be a safe alternative which can compensate the efficacy of conventional pesticides in the management of rice insect pests.

Teaching Folder Management System for the Enhancement of Engineering and Built Environment Faculty Program

A strong, systematic and well-executed management system will be able to minimize and coordinate workload. A number of committees need to be developed, which are joined by the department staffs to achieve the objectives that have been set. Another important aspect is the monitoring department in order to ensure that the work done is correct and in line with the Washington Accord’s requirements. A strong academic management system consists of four main sections namely activities organization and evaluation, documentation system, ongoing improvement and information sharing. This paper focuses on the importance of the third aspect, which is the documentation system. It is crucial to establish a systematic and efficient documentation system that reflects all the efforts that have been done in the program courses. The Faculty of Engineering and Built Environment of Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia ( The National University of Malaysia ) has taken a number of measures in upgrading its document management. The performance of teaching folder submission has increased significantly for all departments.

PACS databases and enrichment of the folder manager concept.

Current challenges facing picture archiving and communication systems (PACS) center around database design and functionality. Workflow issues and folder manager concepts such as autorouting, prefetching, hanging protocols, and hierarchical storage management are driven by a properly designed database that ultimately directly impacts the clinical utility of a PACS. The key issues in PACS database design that enable radiologist-friendly, cost-effective, and data-secure systems will be discussed, including database difficulties of the DICOM standard, HIS/RIS/PACS (hospital information system/radiology information system) connectivity, and database issues in data acquisition, data dissemination, and data display.

The MIC/MIE model for generating multimedia patient folders

The patient folder is the main source of documentation on the patient's health state. It is not a mere collection of information, but a set of heterogeneous documents accessed by different users having different goals (e.g. choice of a therapeutic strategy, quality assessment). In this paper, we present an information model – the MIC/MIE model – able to represent the heterogeneous kinds of data composing a patient folder. The MIC/MIE model is based on an object-oriented approach and supports the definition of a multimedia patient folder. It is flexible enough to be adapted to diverse clinical environments and it allows physicians to structure the information needed in their patient folder without employing a programming language. Finally, we show some features of the CADMIO system, a tool based on this model which can be employed for designing patient folder management systems.

Toward a General Model for the Description of Multimedia Clinical Data

The patient folder integrates information originating from heterogeneous sources. For this reason computerized tools for patient data management should exploit the advantages of multimediality and offer an integrated environment for data presentation, and image and biosignal visualization. Object-oriented modeling is the best approach for designing systems for multimedia patient folder management. We propose an object-oriented model, able to define the entities constituting the patient folder and their logical organization. This model has sufficient flexibility to adapt to the most varied clinical environments. It allows the physician to structure the information needed for his/her patient folder without employing a programming language.

Viewport: an object-oriented approach to integrate workstation software for tile and stack mode display.

Diagnostic workstation design has migrated towards display presentation in one of two modes: tiled images or stacked images. It is our impression that the workstation setup or configuration in each of these two modes is rather distinct. We sought to establish a commonality to simplify software design, and to enable a single descriptor method to facilitate folder manager development of "hanging" protocols. All current workstation designs use a combination of "off-screen" and "on-screen" memory whether or not they use a dedicated display subsystem, or merely a video board. Most diagnostic workstations also have two or more monitors. Our central concept is that of a "logical" viewport that can be smaller than, the same size as, or larger than a single monitor. Each port "views" an image data sequence loaded into offscreen memory. Each viewport can display one or more images in sequence in a one-on-one or traditionally tiled presentation. Viewports can be assigned to the available monitor "real estate" in any manner that fits. For example, a single sequence computed tomography (CT) study could be displayed across all monitors in a tiled appearance by assigning a single large viewport to the monitors. At the other extreme, a multisequence magnetic resonance (MR) study could be compared with a similar previous study by assigning four viewports to each monitor, single image display per viewport, and assigning four of the sequences of the current study to the left monitor viewports, and four of the earlier study to the right monitor viewports. Ergonomic controls activate scrolling through the off-screen image sequence data. Workstation folder manager hanging protocols could then specify viewports, number of images per viewport, and the automatic assignment of appropriately named sequences of current and previous studies to the viewports on a radiologist-specific basis. Furthermore, software development is simplified by common base objects and methods of the tile and stack modes. Prototype workstation display software and folder manager protocol implementation will be described and demonstrated.

WORKSTATION DESIGN: Image Manipulation, Image Set Handling, and Display Issues

The importance of this article is fourfold. First, the introduction of workstation technology and the types of image workstations provides readers with a better understanding of the state-of-the-art and availability of digital image-display workstations in the marketplace. Second, this article identifies primary processes related to image viewing in radiology daily operations. This is crucial because it illustrates the important concepts of the Folder Manager with image preprocessing, patient folder organization, and automatic image display sequencing. With these features incorporated in the workstation design, the number of steps required for a radiologist to interact with a workstation is minimized. Third, the discussions on how to present and manipulate images on the workstations suggest methods concerning the issue of displaying large volumes of image sets on a limited number of monitor screens. Lastly, examples of automatic image sequencing, high-resolution color monitors, and voice-based user interface illustrate current research topics in the future of digital workstation design.

An object-oriented model for a multimedia patient folder management system

The management of information related to clinical activities is a complex task. In fact, patient related information reported in patient folders comes from heterogeneous sources and may be rendered by means of different modalities. Data can originate from direct observations made by physicians like in the case of objective examination. In other cases physiologic phenomena are captured by means of the involved electrical activity (like in the case of heart or brain activity), whereas anatomical structure details are obtained by means of radiologic techniques. In this paper we propose an object-oriented model of a multimedia patient folder. This model has an adequate flexibility for adapting the most different clinical environment. It allows the physician to structure the information needed for his/her patient folder without employing a programming language. Finally we show some features of the CADMIO system, a tool for designing patient folder management systems, based on this model.

Factors Predicting Perceptions of E-Mail as an Organisational Aid

Data examining the use of E-mail were collected from 412 managers. Over 55% of the sample often used E-mail for simple tasks such as reading and deleting mail. However, over 75% reported never or rarely using E-mail for more complex tasks such as folder management and redirecting mail. Significant differences were found between hierarchical levels of management and perceptions of E-mail as an aid to organisational communication and decision making. Managers with lower anxiety concerning the use of E-mail, and with higher computer self efficacy, reported more positive perceptions of Email as an aid to organisational communication and decision making.

The medical folder as an active tool in defining the clinical decision-making process.

Whenever the user of a consultation system needs to know a large amount of information items that are possibly inter-related, a system that is able to cooperate with the user can simplify the interaction and increase its speed. In fact, these systems can recognize the goals of the user, individuate the information related to his goals, and finally focus their attention on this information [1]. This paper describes research work on the design and creation of a medical folder management system capable of establishing cooperative dialogue with users who have access to the information contained therein. Particular attention has thus been paid to the problems of man-computer dialogue and user models. The research work has addressed the problem of integrating into the system knowledge about the medical domain and users (physicians are only used for the time being), which are both necessary to activate a cooperative dialogue. After analysing the literature on the problems of user models, this paper presents and formalizes a study performed at the IVth Surgical Clinic of the Rome University Umberto I General Hospital to identify and represent how, when, and with what goals the physician consults the medical folder, as well as the dialogue procedures he normally adopts. The paper also illustrates important characteristics of the CADMIO prototype, which has been developed since the study was made. CADMIO stores information about users for use in recognizing and interpreting their behaviour, providing help, and in acquiring and returning further information. Whilst always bearing in mind the physician's pre-established goals, it structures information to facilitate his consultation activity, offering him options for the retrieval of further information semantically linked to that already obtained.

A storage subsystem for image and records management

Digital storage and communications are becoming cost effective for massive collections of document images with access not only for nearby users but also for those who are hundreds of miles from their libraries. The Document Storage Subsystem (DocSS) provides generic library services such as searching, storage, and retrieval of document pages and sharing of objects with appropriate data security and integrity safeguards. A library session has three components: a manager of remote catalogs, a set of managers of large-object stores, and a manager of cache services. DocSS supports all kinds of page data--text, pictures, spreadsheets, graphics, programs--and can be extended to audio and video data. Document models can be built as DocSS applications; the paper describes a folder manager as an example. What differentiates DocSS among digital library projects is its approach to data distribution over wide area networks, its client-server approach to the heterogeneous environment, and its synergism with other components of evolving open systems.
