Rationale, study design, and implementation of the ACS1 study

Observational epidemiological studies have the dual goals of measuring disease burden and assessing the association between exposures and outcomes. This report focuses on the first of these goals and provides an overview of design considerations of commonly used approaches, specifically community surveillance studies, cross-sectional studies, and longitudinal cohort studies. Each of these designs has strengths and weaknesses, with no study design being superior in all cases. Rather, these designs are complementary to achieve a better understanding of the burden of stroke.

Design And Implementation

Attitudes toward the use of medicinal marijuana have continued to change, which is reflected in the number of states that have passed legislation allowing for its use and in the number of states petitioning to place this matter on upcoming ballots. Understanding the attitudes of rehabilitation professionals toward medicinal marijuana use is important as they are responsible for providing appropriate support and services to all consumers and will be responsible for navigating through uncharted territory when it comes to this new trend. Their attitudes might determine how they approach the ensuing demands and consequences associated with the use of medical marijuana by their consumers. This manuscript reports the results of a pilot study conducted as a means to determine the most appropriate way to measure the attitudes of these professionals toward the use of marijuana for medicinal purposes. Results from the pilot are used to inform the researchers on the appropriateness of their study design and implementation procedures before a full scale study is conducted..

With the aim of improving the citizens quality of life; the study, design anddevelopment of smart cities have been worked in different parts of the world andColombia is not excluded. Accordingly, this document presents the advances in theimplementation of a platform prototype for joining smart developments in some universities from Bogotá-Colombia. First of all, some aspects to consider in the development of a Smart City are presented. Later, the importance of virtual environments and noise studies, the drain gratings to avoid flooding by rain and the use of the bicycle as an alternative means of transport is also shown.
