Term Monitoring

Our study deals with long-term monitoring of physical fitness of soldiers, namely members of the 31st Regiment specialising in Radiation, Chemical and Biological Protection (prchbo) in order to determine whether the annual fitness test has rising trend, or in another words, whether the military service physical training process is fittingly effective. The study was carried out by comparing the assessment of physical fitness each year between 2012 and 2019. The monitored group consisted of 316 professional soldiers, who participated in this assessment regularly, without interruption in the same disciplines. Due to the managed long-term military physical training process, overall improvement in the strength and endurance disciplines throughout the monitoring period took place. Men improved by 0.32 sit-ups, 0.74 push-ups and 0.24 pull-ups in the strength tests. Women improved by 0.83 sit-ups and 0:21 min in pull-ups endurance test. Men improved by 55.8 meters in Cooper test and 0:17 min in swimming in the endurance tests. Women improved by 135.6 meters in Cooper test. Increase in the number of overall rating excellent and good and decrease in the assessment of satisfactory and unsatisfactory occurred concurrently in men throughout the monitoring period. Significant increase in the number of excellent assessments, while at the same time reduction in the number of evaluations good and satisfactory occurred in women. None of the women was assessed as unsatisfactory during the whole monitoring period. Based on the acquired data, it may be stated that in the monitored years, the annual testing showed rising trend and thus the efficiency of the in-service physical training process proved to be good and appropriate.

Development Of Students

The structure of the physical fitness of students engaged in golf has been studied on the basis of long-term observations. Methods of variance, correlation, and factor analysis were used to process the results of physical fitness tests of 242 male students. The structure and typical features of the physical development of students in the course of golf classes were formulated

Term Monitoring

Epilepsy is a prevalent condition characterised by recurrent, unpredictable seizures. The diagnosis of epilepsy is by surface electroencephalography (EEG), a time-consuming and uncomfortable process for patients. The diagnosis of seizures using EEG over a brief monitoring period has variable success, dependent on patient tolerance and seizure frequency. Further, the availability of hospital resources and hardware and software specifications inherently limit the capacity to perform long-term data collection whilst maintaining patient comfort. The application and maintenance of the standard number of electrodes restrict recording time to a maximum of approximately ten days. This limited monitoring period also results in limited data for machine learning models for seizure detection and classification. This work examines the literature on the impact of reduced electrodes on data accuracy and reliability in seizure detection. Here we present two electrode ranking models, demonstrating the decline in seizure detection performance associated with reducing electrodes. We assert the need for further research in electrode reduction to advance solutions toward portable, reliable devices that can simultaneously provide patient comfort, long-term monitoring and contribute to multi-modal patient care solutions.

Term Monitoring

Historic monuments and buildings are critical cultural assets which cannot be presented by again by human beings. Longer affected by natural climate, environment and biological behavior (including human), resulting in damage and the need for repair. Therefore, UNESCO proposed periodic reporting and reactive monitoring in 2007, in order to achieve “early detection, early repair”. This study discusses about suitable preservation monitoring methods for Taiwan. To shed light on damage and impact factors of historical buildings and cultural relics, the study is based on impact and sensor, monitoring method, monitoring period and maintenance personnel in order to propose standard operating procedures of monitoring method. <br><br> To reduce the rate of the human and sensor monitoring, with the long-term monitoring data analysis, it is calculated that 30 minutes is the best period of data collecting. Besides, the study is adopted regression analysis to select temperature variable only then calculate humidity variable function. <br><br> This study provides a reference monitoring method for monitoring personnel and maintenance personnel, and establishes a long-term monitoring data based information for damage and destroy in the future. Monitoring period and maintenance personnel can follow the data based to find out the damage points and problems, to keep the value of cultural assets.
