Aiming at exploring the wireless sensing network with mass processing in data collection, an embedded wireless sensor system based on ARM-Linux is put forward and designed. The whole system is mainly divided into wireless ZigBee sensing node group part, ARM data processing part, and virtual cloud desktop terminal part. Users’ terminal can be connected to the cloud system server through wired or wireless  ways. And it is possible to view user system data and wireless terminal data by logging in to an individual account. The results showed that the system can be applied in a lot of fields, such as intelligent transportation, health care, smart home and so on. Based on the above findings, it is concluded that it is important for information aggregation and remote fast monitoring.

Agrarian Transformation

Historians have resorted to a language of mystery and metaphor when they come to grapple with the great structural changes which underpin the array of contributory causes of migration. The British Isles was the prototype case of agrarian transformation associated with industrial growth and mass migration. Frank Thistlethwaite in the early 1960s re-shaped the subject by insisting on linking the two sides of the Atlantic into a connected explanation of the migratory turmoil. There were links along the chain of causation towards the migration of millions of the British people in their confusing permutations. Migration history comes in three main schematic forms: first the individual account, second the general narrative of migratory behaviour, and third the grand theories of migration. International emigration has depended on the basic facilities of migration. The British case was the prototype of modern rural-urban migration and has been replicated, with important variations, across the world.

Purpose – The authors offer up an example of recovery in a high-secure setting. The purpose of this paper is to highlight how an individual account of recovery and the academic literature offer up related and important perspectives that have serious clinical utility. Design/methodology/approach – First the context is outlined. The biographical account is then deployed to describe the experience of being detained in an English high-secure facility using recovery as a framework for elucidation. This is often referred to in recovery as accessing the views of the “expert by experience”. In a thematic way this author details his understanding of recovery, what worked and what did not. This account is then contrasted with the academic literature and research at the same site. Social anthropology acts as the theoretical backdrop. This debate informs some clinical implications and issues for practice. Findings – Recovery can be a highly relevant concept in a high-secure context. The author found that the biographical account of the “patient” can offer the observer some insights for practice. The authors noted that the collective themes of previous research where consistent to this account. The authors found the use of recovery principles helped the person receiving care fulfil his potential. Nevertheless, forensic recovery implies a forensic past. This complicates recovery and placed limits on the own use of the principles. Social implications – The authors argue that recovery is highly relevant to the context and particularly important to people who are often stigmatized for multiple reasons including their, “illness”, their “crime”, and their social situation. The paper implies that forensic recovery is more problematic than mainstream recovery. Key events mark out issues. Originality/value – This is the first co-produced paper surrounding recovery in high-secure care.

AbstractThis paper studies the effects of risk aversion and density of contribution (DoC) on comparisons of proportional charges on flow (contributions) and balance (assets) during the accumulation phase of a defined-contribution pension plan in a system of individual retirement accounts. If the participant's degree of risk aversion increases and both charges yield the same expected terminal wealth, then the charge on balance improves with respect to the charge on flow when performing comparisons that examine the ratio between the resulting expected utilities of terminal wealth. When this methodology is applied to the Peruvian Private Pension System, empirical results demonstrate that the aforementioned result also holds for arbitrary charges on flow and balance and that the effect of DoC on these comparisons is nearly negligible for most of the assessed scenarios.
