However, many people in the modem world feel that they are deficient in face-to-face communication. So, we feel that it is necessary to support their face-to-face communication using information technologies. We have developed a topic-providing system that can infer behaviors from daily life and provides users with information about their conversation partner, including that on his hometown, hobbies and life logs when face-to-face communication is initiated. The life logs are details about a user＇s life, and are generated using a Bayesian network on the basis of sensor data provided by our system. This system enables users to access other users＇ information of behaviors from the accumulated life logs and it utilizes this infbrmation to generate topics for conversation. We evaluated the accuracy with which proposal system inferred behaviors to confirm whether exact life log generation is possible. And we also evaluated the proposed system by administering a questionnaire to confirm whether the proposed system can support face-to-face communication.展开更多

The aim of the study is to measure physician and nurse awareness about four selected patient safety indicators by authors and events reported about these relevant indicators in the hospital. The study uses standardized four patientsafety indicators like ＂needle sticks, cut wounds, dressing allergy, infections indicators＂. Cross section study was conducted through three month period in 2011-2012 based on voluntary response to the questionnaire that intend to measure knowledge about four health indicators. Studypopulations consisted of accessible sample of 146 different specialty physicians and 108 nurses present on duty during survey period. The association between the patient safety indicators and events reported about indicators in questionswere analyzed. Meanpatient safety knowledge questionnaire scores of health staff （nurse and physician） for needle sticks, cut wounds, dressing allergy, infections indicators were 47.13（11.8）, 39.04（14.5）, 38.02（10.5）, 39.72（9.7）, respectively. Significant statistical differences were also found between the frequency of events reported according to department and patient safety indicators （F = 8.34; p 〈 0.05） Measuring patient safety culture via safety indicators is essential in improving patient safety. This matter is perfectly influence the financial management of the hospital.展开更多

The investigation data were firstly standardized and then processed with SPSS software. The index weight was confirmed by principal component analysis. Finally, the evaluation scale of ecoagriculture was calculated. The results showed that the evaluation value ranged from 0.141 to 0.689 for 121 households. Agricultural status of 113 households got the primary phase of ecoagriculture which accounting for 93.38%; 7 households into the second phase, representing 5.79% and only 1 household into the third phase according to the evaluation value. However, the ecoagriculture was divided into 5 stages, according to the evaluation value. Therefore, the ecoagriculture has huge potential to develop in red soil area, China.展开更多

The data for this study are elicited from an open-ended DCT questionnaire and analysis of frequencies of apology strategies. The concept of Chinese face and understanding of the conflict as well as its processing mode of seeking harmony make Chinese apology behavior more concerned with the recovery of estrangement relationships, and the apology strategies are used for the purpose of compensating for the face losses of the offenders. An apology will transfer emotional information to each other, to shift the focus of the conflict, quell conflicts, and ease relationships. The parameters of power and social distance have impact on the choice tendency of Illocutionary Force Indicating Devices （IFID）, self-supportive, and other-supportive strategies.展开更多
