Some thoughts on deep learning empowering cartography

Cartography includes two major tasks: map making and map application, which is inextricably linked to artificial intelligence technology. The cartographic expert system experienced the intelligent expression of symbolism. After the spatial optimization decision of behaviorism intelligent expression, cartography faces the combination of deep learning under connectionism to improve the intelligent level of cartography. This paper discusses three problems about the proposition of “deep learning + cartography”. One is the consistency between the deep learning method and the map space problem solving strategy, based on gradient descent, local correlation, feature reduction and non-linear nature that answer the feasibility of the combination of “deep learning + cartography”; the second is to analyze the challenges faced by the combination of cartography from its unique disciplinary characteristics and technical environment, involving the non-standard organization of map data, professional requirements for sample establishment, the integration of geometric and geographical features, as well as the inherent spatial scale of the map; thirdly, the entry points and specific methods for integrating map making and map application into deep learning are discussed respectively.

Mind your language: the importance of english language skills in an International Medical Programme (IMP)

BackgroundLanguage proficiency is crucial for doctors as they communicate with patients, peers and other healthcare professionals. Although proficiency in English is part of admission requirements, there is a gap in the knowledge of medical students’ perception of factors enhancing English language (EL) skills during training in international medical programmes (IMPs). The gap prevents educators and policy makers from helping students who struggle with communication skills during medical training. This study therefore explores the importance of English language skills from medical students’ perspectives.MethodsSix focus group interviews with 24 medical students were conducted in an IMP. Data were analysed using Braun and Clarke’s framework of thematic analysis.ResultsResults established three themes that constitute the importance of EL skills, namely the use of EL in medical training and practice, influence of university culture in EL mastery and individual EL proficiency as perceived by medical students.ConclusionsFindings of this study demonstrate how students perceived the importance of EL skills as a professional and social requirement during medical training and for future practice. It also informs that setting English language admission pre requisites needs to be complemented with opportunities to practice context specific communication skills. Thus, international medical programmes should embed diverse and inclusive strategies to support and develop medical students’ English language skills.

Teachers’ Knowledge Framework for Designing Numeracy Rich Tasks across Non-Mathematics Curriculum Areas

There is a consensus that numeracy is important for students to develop logical thinking and reasoning strategies in their everyday activities. As a result, teachers are encouraged to design numeracy rich tasks that incorporate real-life contexts across non-mathematics curriculum areas. However, it is not clear what types of knowledge teachers require to design such tasks. In this study, the authors used the stepwise generalization method and developed a framework for the knowledge required by teachers to design numeracy rich tasks across non-mathematics curriculum areas. The study begins with a brief introduction to numeracy and its definition in various contexts. The nature of knowledge required to design numeracy rich tasks (mathematics content knowledge, a non-mathematics curriculum area knowledge, activity design skills and knowledge of context)) are further described. In the later section of the study, each element of teacher knowledge and the framework to design numeracy rich tasks across non-mathematics curriculum areas are described. The knowledge framework developed in this study can be used to analyze teachers designed numeracy-rich tasks and identify their professional learning requirements.

Satisfaction of industrial health care managers regarding the work of industrial hygiene engineers: a cross-sectional study.

A group health service is a system that delegates workplace health management to an entrusted institution. There have been various studies on group health services to date, but recent changes, such as an increase in foreign workers, are rapidly changing industry characteristics. Satisfaction was assessed using a 27-question survey distributed among 203 workplaces employing health professionals. The survey items consisted of general characteristics, comprehensive satisfaction, requirements for health professionals' work, and satisfaction with work environment management, ergonomic management, and healthcare management. Multiple regression and frequency analyses were performed. The comprehensive satisfaction was 4.08 points on average, out of 5. The comprehensive satisfaction of health professionals in the industry was positively correlated with each factor. Hazardous materials and chemical management (material safety data sheets, MSDSs) were the most common requirements. A low level of satisfaction with work environment management indicates high demand for healthcare management. The working environment should be improved by identifying characteristics of the workplace, examining harmful substances, inspecting equipment, and enhancing worker methods. The shorter the work experience of health professionals, the more dependent they are on group health services. The variables affecting comprehensive satisfaction were the period of work, healthcare management satisfaction, and work environment management satisfaction. Most of the requirements of health professionals in the workplace were practical improvement case presentations, MSDSs, and legal document management.

RUNOFF ESTIMATION BASED ON HYBRID-PHYSICS-DATA MODEL

Abstract. Runoff estimations play an important role in water resource planning and management. Existing hydrological models can be divided into physical models and data-driven models. Although the physical model contains certain physical knowledge and can be well generalized to new scenarios, the application of physical models is limited by the high professional knowledge requirements, difficulty in obtaining data and high computational costs. The data-driven model can fit the observed data well, but the estimation may not be physically consistent. In this letter, we propose a hybrid physical data (HPD) model combining physical model and deep learning model for runoff estimation. The model uses the output of a physical hydrological model together with the driving factors as another input of the neural network to estimate the monthly runoff of the upper Heihe River Basin in China. We show that the use of the HPD model improves the quality of runoff estimation, and results in high R2, NSE values of 0.969, and a low RMSE value of 9.645. It is indicated that the new model had an excellent learning capability to simulate runoff and flexible ability to extract complex relevant information; At the same time, the estimation capacity of peak runoff is optimized.

SOCIOECONOMIC FACTORS AFFECTING WOMEN CAREER ADVANCEMENT IN THE GHANAIAN CONTEXTUAL SETTING

Women's career advancement has still been a topic of interest in Sub-Sahara Africa. To meet women's professional development requirements and remain competitive, organisations must pay attention to what makes them thrive. Career development involves a series of stages that occur over time, characterised by diverse concerns, themes, and tasks. There is, therefore, the need to document efforts to develop women managers and professionals and get a better understanding of the factors that positively influence women's progress in organisations. This paper reviewed the socioeconomic factors that influence women's career advancement by analysing existing literature to identify factors that facilitate or hinder the advancement of women’s careers. These factors, including stereotyping, biases, preference for family and work-life balance, male-dominant cultures in firms, the glass ceiling effect, lack of training and development opportunities, and their exclusion from networking, are significant impediments to career advancement claimed by women. Other factors such as organisational and government policies, supportive work environment, top management commitment, organisational support system, mentoring, networking, training and development, and organisational culture contribute to women's career advancement. In addition, interventions such as women-specific counselling sessions are held to address work-life balance. Interventions that would contribute to women-specific career advance theories were also identified. The critical issues that emerge from the review about hurdles to women's career advancement and variables that promote their advancement have been highlighted in this study. It is clear that many women who advance to senior positions acknowledge the obstacles posed by attitudes, and stereotypes and tactics have to be put in place to overcome them.

Exploring individuals' experiences of hope in mental health recovery: An interpretative phenomenological analysis.

WHAT IS KNOWN ON THE SUBJECT?: The delivery of mental health recovery orientated acre is a requirement of mental health professionals and an acknowledged desired outcome for individuals presenting with mental health issues. Hope has been recognized as one of 5key processes of mental health recovery, and critically as the key catalyst of recovery. Mental health nurses are required to be competent in cultivating service user hope. WHAT THE PAPER ADDS TO EXISTING KNOWLEDGE?: Novel exploration of how people described and made sense of the lived experience of hope in mental health recovery. Participants described hope as intrinsic to life in the context of its ability to cultivate desire and provide energy for life and living. Participants with experience of attempts to end life had a very clear concept of hope as missing at these times. Participants described the concept of hope as present but hidden to explain their survival through tortuous circumstances. The themes generated contribute to a greater understanding of the dynamic role and process of hope in mental health recovery. WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS FOR MENTAL HEALTH NURSING PRACTICE?: Mental health practitioners need to be competent in understanding and cultivating hope as part of a person-centred approach, embedded in a therapeutic relationship. All stakeholders including service users, mental health nurses and educators need a more accessible reified dialogue of "hope" that harnesses its therapeutic potential. ABSTRACT: Introduction Mental health services have embraced the philosophy and practice of recovery. Research has confirmed hope as a micro-process of recovery. The lived experience of hope has received scant attention. This is required to improve understanding and optimize its therapeutic potential. Aim To explore how individuals describe and make sense of their experience of hope in mental health recovery. Method A qualitative interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) approach was used. The sample was accessed via email networks. Data were generated through semi-structured interviews and analysed using an IPA framework. Results Three superordinate themes emerged: "Without it we would wither up and die"-Hope as intrinsic to life; "I will be ok"-Having a sense of possibility and "Making it happen"-Moving forward. Individuals referenced hope by its absence when attempts were made to end life, and as present but hidden in tortuous circumstances. Discussion Individuals were more familiar with the concept of hopelessness, had a ready-to-hand vocabulary of "having no hope" and used this by default to inform what hope meant. Implications for Practice It is important that all stakeholders appreciate the context specific interpretation of hope and cultivate dialogue and understanding to harness its therapeutic potential.

W poszukiwaniu nauczycielskiego oporu – na podstawie narracji nauczycieli

Introduction : In the scientific circles of teaching profession, there is a common debate about a deficit of teachers’ professional sovereignty. They have been deprived of their professional autonomy and even have experienced enslavement as a result of the constant authoritarian style introduced in management of educational institutions and their entities. This text attempts to show how teachers perceive their place in the educational space, whether and how they oppose external limitations constraining them. Research Aim : My aim was to show if and which opposition actions are taken by teachers, who feel under their professional pressure, and which forms of resistance they apply. Method : the qualitative strategy was implemented in the research. I implemented a free-form interview, also known as the depth one. 19 primary and secondary school teachers participated in the research. A majority of Graham Gibbs’s analytical tools were used in the analysis of the collected results. Results : the research revealed the interviewees’ confidence about the lack of opportunity to create themselves as teachers and influence the wider educational reality. Apart from the sources they have noticed and the forms of exerting professional pressure, they also indicated a deficit of active acts of resistance aimed at changing their subordinate position. Conclusion: the investigated teachers presented the actions characteristic for accommodative resistance. Their responses to constantly changing regulations and increasing professional requirements are adaptive and do not contribute to any change of their place.

Ultra-sensitive and rapid screening of acute myocardial infarction using 3D-affinity graphene biosensor

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is one of the highest mortality diseases in the world. It is critical to treat AMI patients within a few hours, which can explain the high mortality. However, timely diagnosis of AMI out of hospital is still challenging because of low accuracy, sophisticated testing procedures, and requirement of experienced professionals. Here, we propose ultra-sensitive, facile, and rapid detection of the AMI biomarker by using a three-dimensional affinity biosensor (3DA-biosensor), which uses a graphene field-effect transistor constructed with a superwetting hydrogel-aptamer hybrid layer. The 3DA-biosensor exhibits the high sensitivity, adjustable sensitive range, and self-filtration ability, evidenced by a limit of detection down to 1.08 × 10 −9 nM in whole blood. Through preliminary application tests, the 3DA-biosensor enables the identification of positive or negative for patient samples within 5 min, with the accuracy rate over 94%, paving a way for convenient self-screening of AMI for the patients with suspected symptoms. • Ultra-sensitive detection of biomarkers in whole blood and patient samples • Graphene field-effect transistor constructed with 3D hydrogel-aptamer structure • Adjustable sensitive range and self-filtration ability of biosensor • Rapid identification of positive or negative AMI samples with accuracy over 94% Wang et al. demonstrate a graphene field-effect transistor constructed with 3D hydrogel-aptamer structure, which exhibits ultra-sensitive and rapid screening of acute myocardial infarction. The biosensor achieves the adjustable sensitive range and self-filtration ability. Moreover, rapid identification of the positive or negative status of patient clinical samples is realized with the accuracy over 94%.

Facilitating reflection: a review and synthesis of the factors enabling effective facilitation of reflective practice

ABSTRACT Reflective practice is an inherently personal and relational process, occurring privately within people, and publicly, between people. Consequently, given it positively impacts on professional practice, it has become a personal and professional requirement for professional bodies accrediting practitioners. This literature synthesis aims to consolidate understanding around the factors facilitating reflection by generating insights from a variety of publications across professional contexts. The analytical process involved initial coding and focussed coding wherein article text was fragmented, sorted, and integrated to develop a thematic structure. Analysis resulted in two higher order themes: Factors facilitating reflection; and Facilitator tasks. Results highlighted the value of supportive environments to facilitate open enquiry alongside focussed formal dialogues between peers, more experienced colleagues, and formal facilitators to enrich knowledge, perspectives, insights, and relationships. Further, to begin the reflective process, practitioners and novice learners benefit from support in deconstructing the concept of reflection. Ideally, this would be facilitated by an experienced reflective facilitator who values an open enquiry towards complexity, difference, and emotive responses. This requires safe, supportive, and blame-free environments where facilitators encourage dialogue while modelling qualities such as congruence, acceptance, and empathy.

Kinematic Motion Retargeting via Neural Latent Optimization for Learning Sign Language

Motion retargeting from a human demonstration to a robot is an effective way to reduce the professional requirements and workload of robot programming, but faces the challenges resulting from the differences between humans and robots. Traditional optimization-based methods are time-consuming and rely heavily on good initialization, while recent studies using feedforward neural networks suffer from poor generalization to unseen motions. Moreover, they neglect the topological information in human skeletons and robot structures. In this paper, we propose a novel neural latent optimization approach to address these problems. Latent optimization utilizes a decoder to establish a mapping between the latent space and the robot motion space. Afterward, the retargeting results that satisfy robot constraints can be obtained by searching for the optimal latent vector. Alongside with latent optimization, neural initialization exploits an encoder to provide a better initialization for faster and better convergence of optimization. Both the human skeleton and the robot structure are modeled as graphs to make better use of topological information. We perform experiments on retargeting Chinese sign language, which involves two arms and two hands, with additional requirements on the relative relationships among joints. Experiments include retargeting various human demonstrations to YuMi, NAO, and Pepper in the simulation environment and to YuMi in the real-world environment. Both efficiency and accuracy of the proposed method are verified.

Research on Void Signal Recognition Algorithm of 3D Ground-Penetrating Radar Based on the Digital Image

The three-dimensional ground-penetrating radar system is an effective method to detect road void disease. Ground penetrating radar image interpretation has the characteristics of multi-solution, long interpretation period, and high professional requirements of processors. In recent years, researchers have put forward solutions for automatic interpretation of ground-penetrating radar images, including automatic detection algorithm for subgrade diseases based on support vector machines, etc., but there are still some shortcomings such as training models with a large amount of data or setting parameters. In this article, a three-dimensional ground-penetrating radar void signal recognition algorithm based on the digital image is proposed, and the algorithm uses digital images to characterize radar signals. With the help of digital image processing methods, the images are processed by binarization, corrosion, expansion, connected area inspection, fine length index inspection, and three-dimensional matching inspection, so as to identify and determine the void signals and extract the void area volume index. The algorithm has been verified by laboratory tests and engineering projects, and the results show that the void identification algorithm can accurately identify the void area position; the error level between the measured values and the measured values of length, width, buried depth, and area is between 2.2 and 17.3%, and the error is generally within the engineering acceptance range. The volume index calculated by the algorithm has a certain engineering application value; compared with the support vector machine, the regressive convolution neural network, and other recognition methods, it has the advantage of not needing a large amount of data to train or modify parameters.

Professional and ethical requirements for police activity

It is established that a high level of ethical requirements, the implementation of universal values in official activities, which reduces the breaches of professional discipline and professional deformation, contribute to the formation of a morally mature person. The population begins to perceive the police not as a “punitive” body, but as one that prevents illegal actions and
