ISHD:Intelligent Standing Human Detection of Video Surveillance for the Smart Examination Environment

In the environment of smart examination rooms, it is important to quickly and accurately detect abnormal behavior(human standing) for the construction of a smart campus. Based on deep learning, we propose an intelligentstanding human detection (ISHD) method based on an improved single shot multibox detector to detect thetarget of standing human posture in the scene frame of exam room video surveillance at a specific examinationstage. ISHD combines the MobileNet network in a single shot multibox detector network, improves the posturefeature extractor of a standing person, merges prior knowledge, and introduces transfer learning in the trainingstrategy, which greatly reduces the computation amount, improves the detection accuracy, and reduces the trainingdifficulty. The experiment proves that the model proposed in this paper has a better detection ability for the smalland medium-sized standing human body posture in video test scenes on the EMV-2 dataset.

目的了解0~6岁儿童眼保健和视力检查服务现状,为相关部门提供决策依据。方法采用方便抽样方法,于2019年9—12月从北京市、安徽省、青海省抽取15家区县级妇幼保健院及基层卫生机构进行问卷调查,并采用现场观察及小组访谈的方式了解儿童眼保健服务现状及存在的问题等。结果被调查的区县级妇幼保健机构均配备了开展儿童眼保健服务的基本用房及设备;基层卫生机构均配备了开展儿童眼保健服务的基础设备,但有些设备陈旧破损、闲置未用。被调查机构儿童眼保健人员均不足,区县级妇幼保健院、社区卫生服务中心和乡镇卫生院的儿童眼保健人员分别占卫生技术人员的9.5%、5.5%和2.4%,不同类型卫生机构的儿童眼保健人员占比差异有统计学意义(χ^(2)=8.966,P=0.011)。社区卫生服务中心无眼科医生,该岗位由儿保人员兼职。被调查机构儿童眼保健人员接受上级指导及培训的机会普遍较少,年人均1~3次。各地儿童眼保健及视力检查服务覆盖率均在90%以上,但现场观察发现儿童眼保健人员操作技能尚不熟练、不规范。结论各卫生机构均需进一步完善儿童眼保健及视力检查服务设备,提高儿童眼保健人员的知识技能及服务质量。

宪法视野下的婚检制度变革与完善——基于《民法典》第1053条告知义务的履行

《民法典》第1053条对禁婚疾病传统作出重大调整,成为新时代背景下婚检制度设计的重要法律依据。在婚姻宪法保护框架下,“婚姻自由—私人告知—自愿婚检”的传统思路忽略了比“婚姻自由保护”更为根本的“婚姻传统功能保护”。婚姻的公共性及解决相关司法实践难题的客观需要,使得婚检融入履行环节成为可能。从《宪法》到《民法典》再到《婚姻登记条例》,民法典时代婚检制度设计应沿循“婚姻保护—法定告知—弱强制婚检”设计思路,采取“程序强制+形式审查”模式,即当事人于婚前相互告知专业健康检查结论,婚姻登记机关仅要求当事人填写知晓声明并进行必要口头提示而不对告知内容及其真实性进行实质审查。
