ABSTRACT
Visual behaviorally operant method is one of the main detections for identifying animal models of visual diseases, which is mainly through the optomotor response (OMR) and optokinetic reflex (OKR) stimulated by the virtual operating system (VOS). The automated VOS was commonly used as a powerful tool to control the contrast sensitivity and measure the spatial frequency of the monitoring device by adjusting parameters such as grating fringe width, rotation velocity and light intensity, and also to track the OKR, OMR, and the combined movement of OKR and OMR.Both the optimized measuring methods and evaluation indicators including the search coils, the corneal labeling, OMR-arena system, the OMR index, the staircase protocol tests and the improved stimuli from two-dimensional to three-dimensional helped to ensure the validity of test data.Moreover, the introduction of image recognition technology benefited in extracting the body and head contours of mice.Computer algorithms such as deep learning were also applied to analyze and process the visual behavior of diseased mice, which promoted sensitivity, shortened testing time, reduced detection errors and improved data accuracy.For all the factors mentioned, the VOS could be used as an effective research tool for glaucoma, cataract, retinopathy, hereditary eye disease, optic nerve degeneration and others.This article reviewed the value of VOS for visual behavioral assessment in mice models of visual disease from the visual detection methods and assessment indicators.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To analyze the current situation and effect of mobile applications for physical activity management in China.Methods:In this systematic review, search terms such as “exercise”, “sports”, “exercise”, “physical activity” and “mobile health” were used to retrieve the applications for physical activity management in the IOS Application Store developed in mainland of China. Then the Mobile Application Rating Scale (MARS) and the Behavior Change Technology (BCT) were used to evaluate the quality of the applications and analyze the behavior change technologies that applications adopted. Moreover, a systematic review of relevant experimental studies was applied to summarize the effectiveness of the applications in promoting physical activity.Results:Total of 141 applications were included in this analysis, and 58 behavior change techniques in 16 categories were applied. The most frequently used 4 categories of BCT were behavior comparison (67.4%), repetition and substitution (67.4%), knowledge construction (67.4%), feedback and monitoring (58.2%). The overall objective quality score of MARS was 3.17±0.42, of which, the score of engagements, functionality, aesthetic design and information quality was 2.67±0.73, 3.75±0.54, 3.44±0.59 and 2.83±0.55, respectively. The number of BCT adopted in each application had a linear relationship with the application′s objective quality score in MARS ( B=0.023, 95% CI: 0.018-0.029) and user rating ( B=0.040, 95% CI: 0.019-0.060) (both P<0.001). A total of 4 articles were included to test the effects of techniques (i.e., physical activity behavior monitoring, physical activity planning and physical activity guidance) in 4 applications. The overall quality of the literatures was good. The main outcomes were physical activity duration (3 articles) and step count (1 article). Compared with those who did not use the application or only used the accelerometer to monitor physical activity, subjects who used the application to monitor physical activity had significant longer physical activity durations and step count (both P<0.05). Conclusions:The number, function and technology of physical activity management applications in China are abundant, but the quality of the applications is moderate. The number of BCT is an important factor in evaluating application′s quality, but its effect on behavior change is still not clear.
ABSTRACT
El avance de la ciencia y la tecnología aplicadas en favor de la sociedad contribuye al desarrollo sostenible de un país. Uno de los elementos fundamentales para trabajar en función de la soberanía tecnológica en Cuba es contar con un sistema operativo desarrollado por especialistas nacionales. El sistema operativo libre GNU/Linux Nova es una distribución de software libre desarrollada por la Universidad de Ciencias Informáticas. Es una de las propuestas de sistemas operativos a aplicar durante el proceso de migración hacia plataformas de software libre y código abierto en Cuba. El presente trabajo tuvo como objetivo determinar cómo impacta la calidad de la distribución GNU/Linux Nova en el proceso de migración, específicamente en el sector de la salud en Cuba. Se realizó un breve análisis de la importancia del desarrollo científico-técnico, así como de la migración a software libre para la informatización de la sociedad. Se muestra una breve reseña de la evolución del proceso de desarrollo de la distribución GNU/Linux Nova que actualmente incluye un procedimiento de evaluación cuantitativa de la calidad. Este último ha permitido lograr mejores resultados en la evaluación del producto antes de su liberación oficial para mostrar objetivamente estos resultados. Finalmente se presentan valoraciones sobre el impacto económico, científico-técnico y social de la distribución en el sector de la salud en Cuba(AU)
The progress of science and technology applied for the benefit of society contributes to a country's sustainable development. One of the fundamental elements of the work for technological sovereignty in Cuba is using an operating system developed by national specialists. The operating system GNU/Linux Nova is a free software distribution developed by the Information Sciences University. It is one of the proposals of operating systems to be applied during the process of migration to free software and open code platforms in Cuba. The purpose of the study was to determine the way in which the quality of the GNU/Linux Nova distribution impacts on the migration process, particularly in the Cuban health sector. A brief analysis was conducted of the importance of technical and scientific development, as well as migration to free software for the informatization of society. A concise overview is provided of the evolution of the process of development of the GNU/Linux Nova distribution, which currently includes a quantitative quality evaluation procedure. This has made it possible to obtain better results in the evaluation of the product before its official release to show those results objectively. An assessment is finally presented of the economic, technical and scientific, and social impact of the distribution in the Cuban health sector(AU)

ABSTRACT
College foodservice (FS) demands highly-developed operation technique which can provide adequate nutrients to their students, as well as to guide better eating habits and to meet students' various desires. The purpose of this study was to provide basic data to improve college FS satisfaction with food items by comparing 2 contract-managed and 2 self-operated college FS in Daejeon and Chungnam area. According to the results, 59.1% of students frequently (over 3 times per week) took meals at college cafeteria and the main reason for using college cafeteria was the low-price of meal, although the students' satisfaction degree with price of meal was lower in contract-managed FS than in self-operated FS. There were no differences in the food satisfaction degrees with overall appraisal of food items between 2 operating systems of college FS, but the satisfaction degrees with all food items were high in male as compared with female. The higher the negative self-perceived clinical symptoms scores, the lower the satisfaction with foods, which suggests that the health state of students was one of the factors that influenced college FS satisfaction. According to stepwise multiple regression analysis, 'taste of boiled rice', 'overall appraisal of boiled rice', 'overall appraisal of soup', and 'variety of side dish', in decreasing order, were the most relatively important attributes for overall customer satisfaction with food taste of college FS. Finally, there should be further studies on important management factors to improve college FS satisfaction according to 2 operating systems.

More and more DNA sequences have been obtained since the start-up of human genome project. Powerful system is badly needed for data mining on these DNA sequences. Based on a personal computer and Linux operating system, the Phred/Phrap/Consed software and Blast software were used to construct a platform for batch analysis of the sequences, including identifying raw DNA sequence from chromatogram file, vector sequence removing, contig analysis (sequence assembly), repeat sequence identifying and sequence similarity analysis. Result demonstrated that this robust platform could accelerate data analysis for large-scale DNA sequencing.
