The aim of the study was to build a low-cost mask-type eye tracker with accuracy and precision levels similar to those reported for commercial eye tracking devices. To this end, head-mounted hardware was designed and developed, while open-source software was modified for digital image capture, manipulation, and fixation analysis. An image recognition application was also included with different lighting scenarios. Moreover, parallax and viewing perspective errors were controlled to ensure the quality of data collection. The device was wireless and lightweight (99 g) to allow for natural movement and avoid participant discomfort. After calibration of a 9-target monocular grid, spatial accuracy and precision of the eye tracker was evaluated by 30 participants, at four different lighting setups, both before and after a climbing task. Validity tests showed high levels of accuracy in all conditions as evidenced by a systematic error for a 13-target grid of <0.5°. The reliability tests also showed consistent measurements with no differences in accuracy recorded between participants, lighting conditions, and visual behaviors for the pre- versus post-climbing task. These results suggest that the present eye tracker reports spatial accuracy similar to other commercial systems with levels of high quality. Altogether, this innovative user interface is suitable for research purposes and/or performance analysis in physical activity and sport-related activities. Also, features of this mask-type eye tracking system make it a suitable perceptual user interface to investigate human–computer interactions in a large number of other research fields including psychology, education, marketing, transportation, and medicine.

This paper presents a method for computing the gaze point using camera data captured with a wearable gaze tracking device. The method utilizes a physical model of the human eye, advanced Bayesian computer vision algorithms, and Kalman filtering, resulting in high accuracy and low noise. Our C++ implementation can process camera streams with 30 frames per second in realtime. The performance of the system is validated in an exhaustive experimental setup with 19 participants, using a self-made device. Due to the used eye model and binocular cameras, the system is accurate for all distances and invariant to device movement. We also test our system against a best-in-class commercial device which is outperformed for spatial accuracy and precision. The software and hardware instructions as well as the experimental data are published as open source.

SummaryThe limitations of currently used in vitro assays of heparin have demonstrated the need for an in vivo method suitable for routine use.The in vivo method which is described in this paper uses, for each heparin preparation, four groups of five mice which are injected intravenously with heparin according to a “2 and 2 dose assay” procedure. The method is relatively rapid, requiring 3 to 4 hours to test five heparin preparations against a standard preparation of heparin. Levels of accuracy and precision acceptable for the requirements of the British Pharmacopoeia are obtained by combining the results of 3 to 4 assays of a heparin preparation.The similarity of results obtained the in vivo method and the in vitro method of the British Pharmacopoeia for heparin preparations of lung and mucosal origin validates this in vivo method and, conversely, demonstrates that the in vitro method of the British Pharmacopoeia gives a reliable estimation of the in vivo activity of heparin.

Metronidazole is the most popular representative of antiprotozoal medicines from the group of 5-nitroimidazoles. Metronidazole blocks the enzymes of alcohol dehydrogenase and acetaldehyde dehydrogenase, therefore when its joint taking with alcohol it is observed the strong intoxication syndrome and fatal poisonings too. Therefore metronidazole can be a potential object of chemical toxicological investigations. The purpose of our paper is to develop HPLC/UV-procedure of metronidazole quantification with application of the system of HPLC-analyzer MiLiChrome® A-0230 implemented in practice of forensic medical laboratories in Russia and Ukraine and carry out step-by-step validation of the developed procedure. Chromatographic conditions: Eluent A (0.2 M LiClO4 – 0.005 M HClO4) and Eluent B (acetonitrile) wereused as the mobile phase components; HPLC microcolumn Ø2×75 mm and ProntoSIL 120-5-C18 AQ, 5 μm were used as an analytical column; temperature was 40°С; flow rate was 100 μl/min; gradient elution mode was from 5% to 100% Eluent B for 40 min, then 100% Eluent B for 3 min; detection was performed at 277 nm. Retention time for metronidazole is 5.95 min. Since metronidazole is easy soluble and stable enough in the solutions of diluted alkalis 0.001 M sodium hydroxide solution has been proposed for preparation of the solutions in developing HPLC/UV-procedure of metronidazole quantification. Validation of the procedure has been carried out in the variants of the method of calibration curve and method of standard by such parameters as in process stability, linearity/calibration model, accuracy and precision within 3 different analytical runs using different batches of reagents and different glassware; experiments have been performed by three different analysts. New procedure of metronidazole quantitative determination by the method of HPLC/UV has been developed. Its validation has been carried out and acceptability for application has been shown.

The accuracy in administering the diagnosis code was the important matter for medical recorder, quality of data was the most important thing for health information management of medical recorder. This study aims to know the coder competency for accuracy and precision of using ICD 10 at X Hospital in Pekanbaru. This study was a qualitative method with case study implementation from five informan. The result show that medical personnel (doctor) have never received a training about coding, doctors writing that hard and difficult to read, failure for making diagnoses code or procedures, doctor used an usual abbreviations that are not standard, theres still an officer who are not understand about the nomenclature and mastering anatomy phatology, facilities and infrastructure were supported for accuracy and precision of the existing code. The errors of coding always happen because there is a human error. The accuracy and precision in coding very influence against the cost of INA CBGs, medical and the committee did most of the work in the case of severity level III, while medical record had a role in monitoring or evaluation of coding implementation. If there are resumes that is not clearly case mix team check file needed medical record the result the diagnoses or coding for conformity. Keywords: coder competency, accuracy and precision of coding, ICD 10
