Monazite (Mnz) and xenotime (Xnt) are rare earth element (REE) phosphate minerals that occur in a large variety of rocks. They are known to contain very limited amounts of common Pb, and thus, a date can be calculated by simply measuring the total lead- and actinide-contents. Such a measurement can be done at high spatial resolution with an electro...

... The unanimous approval by WHO Member States of the 'Resolution on Digital Health' [7] at the 2018 World Health Assembly and the Regional Committee for the Western Pacific's endorsement of the Regional Action Agenda on Harnessing e-Health for Improved Health Service Delivery [8] demonstrates a recognition of the value digital technology offers health service development and the commitment of decision-makers to exploring its use. There are many examples of the use of ICT to support health care delivery in low-and middle-income settings including for delivery of telemedicine [9][10][11], targeted patient communication [12][13][14][15], supply chain management [16,17], workforce training [18][19][20], clinical decision-making support, [21,22] data collection and management [16,18,19,23,24], and healthcare workers-to-healthcare worker communication and data exchange [25][26][27] including during disaster situations [28]. ...

Tuvalu is one of the smallest and most remote countries in the world. Due partly to its geography, the limited availability of human resources for health, infrastructure weaknesses, and the economic situation, Tuvalu faces many health systems challenges to delivering primary health care and achieving universal health coverage. Advancements in information communication technology are anticipated to change the face of health care delivery, including in developing settings. In 2020 Tuvalu commenced installation of Very Small Aperture Terminals (VSAT) at health facilities on remote outer islands to allow the digital exchange of data and information between facilities and healthcare workers. We documented the impact that the installation of VSAT has had on supporting health workers in remote locations, clinical decision-making, and delivering primary health more broadly. We found that installation of VSAT in Tuvalu has enabled regular peer-to-peer communication across facilities; supported remote clinical decision-making and reduced the number of domestic and overseas medical referrals required; and supported formal and informal staff supervision, education, and development. We also found that VSAT’s stability is dependent on access to services (such as a reliable electricity supply) for which responsibility sits outside of the health sector. We stress that digital health is not a panacea for all health service delivery challenges and should be seen as a tool (not the solution) to support health service improvement. Our research provides evidence of the impact digital connectivity offers primary health care and universal health coverage efforts in developing settings. It provides insights into factors that enable and inhibit sustainable adoption of new health technologies in low- and middle-income countries.

Мета роботи: на основі систематизації особливостей акустичних антропогенних чинників у повітряному середовище аналізується їх вплив на вирішення прикладних завдань знімання мовної інформації на відкритій місцевості. Дизайн/Метод/Підхід дослідження: при виконанні цієї роботи використовувалися методи аналізу фізичних властивостей повітряного середовища та технічних параметрів засобів прийому акустичних сигналів, методи опису акустичних полів, систематизації та узагальнення даних та знань, методи якісної оцінки впливу антропогенних факторів. Результати дослідження: у статті показано, що складовими акустичного фону є джерела природного, штучного і змішаного походження, кожен з яких має специфічний шумовий спектр. Антропогенний фактор повітряного середовища визначається як сімейство (об’єднання) шумів штучного походження. Ці технічні шуми є результатом діяльності людини. Теоретична цінність дослідження: полягає в тому, що дальність знімання мовної інформації на відкритій місцевості залежіть від рівня акустичного фону в районі вирішення прикладних завдань. При сталості технічних параметрів акустичного пристрою та постійній силі цілі, дальність її виявлення буде тим меншою, ніж вище рівень акустичного фону, і навпаки, зменшення інтенсивності акустичного фону призводить до збільшення дальності знімання мовної інформації.

This paper provides a review of research on robotics in crises, disasters, and crisis management, and identifies research gaps and directions for future research. The paper analyses 74 English-language publications between 2000 and 2020 identified through the Scopus database. Seven research domains were identified: “Robot”, “Human”, “Public Administration”, “Guards and inspections”, “Private Companies”, “External environment” and “Education, Training and Research”. Most of the research is devoted to robots in the general context of emergencies, earthquakes, fires, and floods. Most publications are conceptual. Empirical papers mainly provide the results of experiments and case studies. A significant part of the empirical research is related to Asia-Pacific countries. This is the first study to systematically analyse scientific publications on robotics in crisis management.

Over the past few years, virtual assistant solutions used in Contact Center systems are gaining popularity. One of the main tasks of the virtual assistant is to recognize the intentions of the customer. It is important to note that quite often the actual intention expressed in a conversation is also directly influenced by the emotions that accompany that conversation. Unfortunately, scientific literature has not identified what specific types of emotions in Contact Center applications are relevant to the activities they perform. Therefore, the main objective of this work was to develop an Emotion Classification for Machine Detection of Affect-Tinged Conversational Contents dedicated directly to the Contact Center industry. In the conducted study, Contact Center voice and text channels were considered, taking into account the following families of emotions: anger, fear, happiness, sadness vs. affective neutrality of the statements. The obtained results confirmed the usefulness of the proposed classification—for the voice channel, the highest efficiency was obtained using the Convolutional Neural Network (accuracy, 67.5%; precision, 80.3; F1-Score, 74.5%), while for the text channel, the Support Vector Machine algorithm proved to be the most efficient (accuracy, 65.9%; precision, 58.5; F1-Score, 61.7%).

Мета роботи: на основі систематизації особливостей поширення акустичних хвиль залежно від різних станів повітряного середовища показано їх вплив на вирішення прикладних завдань знімання мовної інформації на відкритій місцевості, та запропоновано оперативний швидкий облік цих факторів у вирішенні прикладних завдань. Дизайн/Метод/Підхід дослідження: при виконанні цієї роботи використовувалися методи аналізу властивостей хвильових процесів, методи опису акустичних полів, систематизації та узагальнення даних та знань, методи перетворення складних систем. Результати дослідження: статті досліджено швидкості поширення звуку в атмосфері, що є головною акустичною характеристикою повітряного середовища, яка повністю залежить від параметрів цього середовища (атмосферний тиск, температура повітря, його вологість, а також наявність додаткових домішок). Вертикальний розподіл швидкості звуку в приземних шарах атмосфери повністю визначає поширення акустичних хвиль і їх викривлення – рефрагування. Розглянуто поняття фактора аномалії повітряного середовища та його обліку при вирішенні прикладних завдань знімання мовної інформації. Теоретична цінність дослідження: полягає в тому, що складні розрахунки фактора аномалії повітряного середовища для отримання очікуваної дальності виявлення акустичних сигналів може визначатися як добуток значення енергетичної дальності виявлення на значення коефіцієнта впливу середовища в приземних шарах атмосфери.

Nowadays, innovative flame extinguishing techniques are still being sought that do not threaten the environment and do not damage the extinguished elements. One of them seems to be the acoustic method. Research is being conducted in Europe, America, and Asia into the possibility of using acoustic waves to extinguish flames. This article presents the original measurement results showing the extinguishing possibilities with a sinusoidal waveform and sinusoidal waveform modulated with a square waveform for the three analysed frequencies (15 Hz, 17 Hz and 20 Hz). A high-powered acoustic extinguisher was applied to extinguish the flames. Such a fire extinguisher may be equipped with an artificial intelligence module. Deep neural networks (DNN) were used for flame detection. Results from the training networks were described, as well as the hardware architecture employed. Such an intelligent module, which allows an acoustic extinguisher to be automatically activated when flames are detected, is particularly useful when traditional sensors are not available.

Chapter
In recent years, people have often settled in suburban communities around large cities. Mobility is usually identified with one’s own means of transport, which provides access to work or shopping. In the era of urban development, it is important to analyze the impact of various features on the safety of city and region inhabitants. With help come modern theories from computer science and statistics that can be applied in practice through formalized notation. Then, it becomes possible, in the long perspective, to increase the safety of road users. The aim of this paper is to analyze the influence of various characteristics based on a large testing ground (all national roads in the Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship). The Bayesian regression model for road accidents was evaluated based on actual data of road incidents that occurred in Poland, in the Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship, in 1999–2012. Logistic regression analysis was used to create the Bayesian model. The a posteriori distributions of the random variables of the model were obtained using a sampling Monte Carlo method based on Markov chains. In addition, the paper presents the selected possibilities of using the SAS system in supporting data analysis.KeywordsBayesian statisticsMarkov chainsMonte-Carlo methodRoad safety
