Information retrieval finds itself at an interesting juncture, where the amount of information that is available to people increases every day from its already bewildering limit. The problem is how to get the information we need in a timely and efficient fashion, without delivering useless or unwanted information. Current Web-Based IR systems do their best, but they will find it increasingly. . .

BackgroundCellulitis is a common painful infection of the skin and underlying tissues that recurs in approximately a third of cases. Patients’ ability to recover from cellulitis or prevent recurrence is likely to be influenced by their understanding of the condition.AimTo explore patients’ perceptions of cellulitis and their information needs.MethodMixed methods study comprising semi-structured, face-to-face interviews and cross-sectional survey, recruiting through primary care, secondary care and advertising. Adults aged 18 or over with a history of cellulitis (first or recurrent) were invited to complete a survey, take part in an interview or both. Qualitative data was analysed thematically.ResultsThirty interviews were conducted between August 2016 and July 2017. Qualitative data revealed low prior awareness of cellulitis, uncertainty around diagnosis, concern/surprise at the severity of cellulitis, and perceived insufficient information provision. People were surprised they had never heard of the condition and that they had not received advice or leaflets giving self-care information. Some sought information from the internet and found this bewildering. Two hundred and forty surveys were completed (response rate 17%). These showed that, while most people received information on the treatment of cellulitis (60.0%, n = 144), they reported receiving no information about causes (60.8%, n = 146) or prevention of recurrence (73.3%, n = 176).ConclusionThere is a need for provision of basic information for people with cellulitis, particularly being informed of the name of their condition, how to manage acute episodes, and how to reduce risk of recurrence.

ABSTRAKPenurunan prevalensi stunting balita merupakan tujuan yang pertama dari enam tujuan dalam Target Nutrisi Global untuk tahun 2025. Program pemerintah dalam penanggulangan masalah gizi pada balita sudah cukup banyak dan terstruktur. Namun, pada kenyataannya kasus kejadian balita stunting masih banyak dijumpai. Pada Kabupaten Gianyar terdapat 22,2% balita stunting, dan merupakan salah satu kabupaten yang menjadi pilot project penanganan stunting di Indonesia.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui secara mendalam determinan kejadian stunting pada balita di Kabupaten Gianyar, Bali  ditinjau dari faktor presdiposisi, faktor pemungkin dan faktor penguat. Penelitian deskriptif kualitatif ini menggunakan metode pengumpulan data observasi dan wawancara mendalam. Pengumpulan data dilaksanakan pada Bulan Mei-Juni 2020. Subyek penelitian ini adalah 8 pengasuh balita (usia 6-60 bulan) dan balita (usia 6-60 bulan) yang memiliki z-score TB/U di bawah -2SD di Kabupaten Gianyar. Proses analisis data menggunakan analisis data tematik.Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa faktor yang berhubungan dengan kejadian stunting adalah adalah faktor pendorong (pengetahuan ibu, pemberian ASI Eksklusif), faktor pemungkin (ketersediaan dana, ketersediaan pangan keluarga), faktor penguat (dukungan keluarga).Semua petugas kesehatan agar memberikan informasi yang memadai mengenai pentingnya gizi pada balita sedini mungkin. Pemberian informasi dapat diberikan melalui penyuluhan kepada remaja, ibu-ibu selama hamil, nifas dan saat menyusui sewaktu ibu kunjungan ANC, mengikuti kelas ibu hamil, datang ke pusling, dan pada waktu ibu berkunjung ke posyandu. Kata Kunci       : Determinan, Stunting, Gianyar  ABSTRACTDecreasing the children stunting prevelence is the first of the sixth 2005 Global Nutrition Target goals. There were a lot and structured government prevention program regarding to the infants nutritional problems. However, in fact,  there were still found 22,2% infants stunting problems in Gianyar Regency. It was one of regencies that become a pilot project of stunting  countermeasures in Indonesia.This study aimed to determine the Gianyar Regency inftants stunting determinants in terms of precipitating factors, enabling factors and reinforcing factors. This was qualitative descriptive research with observation and in-depth interviews applied as and the data collection methods. Data collection was carried out over May-June 2020. The subjects of this research were 8 infant’s caregivers (6-60 months old) and infants (6-60 months old) who had a TB / U z-score below -2SD in Gianyar Regency. The data analysis process applied thematic data analysis.The results found that the factors associated with stunting occurrence were predisposing factors (knowledge, exclusive breastfeeding), enabling factors (funds availability, family food availability) and reinforcing factors (family support).All health service providers should provide adequate information as early as possible about the nutrition importance for infants. Information provision could be given by counseling to adolescents, mothers during pregnancy, childbirth and while breastfeeding on ANC mothers visit, attend pregnancy classes, visitting clinic and when mothers visit the Integrated Healthcare Center. Keywords         : Determinants, Stunting, Gianyar

Innovative methods of aerial surveys changed approaches to information provision of projecting dramatically in last years. Nowadays there are several methods pretending to be the most efficient for collecting geospatial data intended for projecting – airborne laser scanning (LIDAR) data, RGB aerial imagery (forming 3D pointclouds) and orthoimages. Thermal imagery is one of the additional methods that can be used for projecting. LIDAR data is precise, it allows us to measure relief even under the vegetation, or to collect laser re-flections from wires, metal constructions and poles. Precision and completeness of the DEM, produced from LIDAR data, allows to define relief microforms. Airborne imagery (visual spectrum) is very widespread and can be easily depicted. Thermal images are more strange and less widespread, they use different way of image forming, and spectral features of ob-jects can vary in specific ways. Either way, the additional spectral band can be useful for achieving additional spatial data and different object features, it can minimize field works. Here different aspects of thermal imagery are described in comparison with RGB (visual) images, LIDAR data and GIS layers. The attempt to estimate the feasibility of thermal imag-es for new data extraction is made.
