Background: Recognizing and promoting the factors that affect the self-management behaviors of diabetes leads to a reduction in the number of patients and an improvement in the quality of care. The ecological approach focuses on the nature of people's interactions with their physical and socio-cultural environments. Objective: The purpose of this study was to identify the predictors of self-management behaviors with a comprehensive approach in these patients. Methods: The Keywords were investigated in the relevant national and international databases, including PubMed, Google Scholar, Science Direct, Scopus, and Scientific Information Database, Magiran, and Iran Medex to obtain the articles published from 2009 to 2019. The search and article selection strategy was developed based on the Prisma checklist and was carried out in three steps. Results: Most studies have shown that personal factors had the highest prediction power for the self-management of diabetes. Then, the interpersonal factors, society and policy-making factors, and group and organization factors were most frequently reported predictors of self-management behaviors in diabetic patients. Conclusion: Self-management of diabetes is necessary for controlling it because 95% of care is done by the patient. When designing self-management interventions, factors based on the individual level that increasing self-management behaviors should be taken into account.

The importance of network selection for wireless networks, is to facilitate users with various personal wireless devices to access their desired services via a range of available radio access networks. The inability of these networks to provide broadband data service applications to users poses a serious challenge in the wireless environment. Network Optimization has therefore become necessary, so as to accommodate the increasing number of users’ service application demands while maintaining the required quality of services. To achieve that, the need to incorporate intelligent and fast mechanism as a solution to select the best value network for the user arises. This paper provides an intelligent network selection strategy based on the user- and network-valued metrics to suit their preferences when communicating in multi-access environment. A user-driven network selection strategy that employs Multi-Access Service Selection Vertical Handover Decision Algorithm (MASS-VHDA) via three interfaces; Wi-Fi, WiMAX and LTE-A is proposed, numerically evaluated and simulated. The results from the performance analysis demonstrate some improvement in the QoS and network blocking probability to satisfy user application requests for multiple simultaneous services.

Polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) image classification is a recent technology with great practical value in the field of remote sensing. However, due to the time-consuming and labor-intensive data collection, there are few labeled datasets available. Furthermore, most available state-of-the-art classification methods heavily suffer from the speckle noise. To solve these problems, in this paper, a novel semi-supervised algorithm based on self-training and superpixels is proposed. First, the Pauli-RGB image is over-segmented into superpixels to obtain a large number of homogeneous areas. Then, features that can mitigate the effects of the speckle noise are obtained using spatial weighting in the same superpixel. Next, the training set is expanded iteratively utilizing a semi-supervised unlabeled sample selection strategy that elaborately makes use of spatial relations provided by superpixels. In addition, a stacked sparse auto-encoder is self-trained using the expanded training set to obtain classification results. Experiments on two typical PolSAR datasets verified its capability of suppressing the speckle noise and showed excellent classification performance with limited labeled data.

In the industrial environment, Autonomous Guided Vehicles (AGVs) generally run on a planned route. Among trajectory-tracking algorithms for unmanned vehicles, the Pure Pursuit (PP) algorithm is prevalent in many real-world applications because of its simple and easy implementation. However, it is challenging to decelerate the AGV’s moving speed when turning on a large curve path. Moreover, this paper addresses the kidnapped-robot problem occurring in spare LiDAR environments. This paper proposes an improved Pure Pursuit algorithm so that the AGV can predict the trajectory and decelerate for turning, thus increasing the accuracy of the path tracking. To solve the kidnapped-robot problem, we use a learning-based classifier to detect the repetitive pattern scenario (e.g., long corridor) regarding 2D LiDAR features for switching the localization system between Simultaneous Localization And Mapping (SLAM) method and Odometer method. As experimental results in practice, the improved Pure Pursuit algorithm can reduce the tracking error while performing more efficiently. Moreover, the learning-based localization selection strategy helps the robot navigation task achieve stable performance, with 36.25% in completion rate more than only using SLAM. The results demonstrate that the proposed method is feasible and reliable in actual conditions.

AbstractMultiobjective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) algorithm faces the difficulty of prematurity and insufficient diversity due to the selection of inappropriate leaders and inefficient evolution strategies. Therefore, to circumvent the rapid loss of population diversity and premature convergence in MOPSO, this paper proposes a knowledge-guided multiobjective particle swarm optimization using fusion learning strategies (KGMOPSO), in which an improved leadership selection strategy based on knowledge utilization is presented to select the appropriate global leader for improving the convergence ability of the algorithm. Furthermore, the similarity between different individuals is dynamically measured to detect the diversity of the current population, and a diversity-enhanced learning strategy is proposed to prevent the rapid loss of population diversity. Additionally, a maximum and minimum crowding distance strategy is employed to obtain excellent nondominated solutions. The proposed KGMOPSO algorithm is evaluated by comparisons with the existing state-of-the-art multiobjective optimization algorithms on the ZDT and DTLZ test instances. Experimental results illustrate that KGMOPSO is superior to other multiobjective algorithms with regard to solution quality and diversity maintenance.

AbstractVirtual Glove (VG) is a low-cost computer vision system that utilizes two orthogonal LEAP motion sensors to provide detailed 4D hand tracking in real–time. VG can find many applications in the field of human-system interaction, such as remote control of machines or tele-rehabilitation. An innovative and efficient data-integration strategy, based on the velocity calculation, for selecting data from one of the LEAPs at each time, is proposed for VG. The position of each joint of the hand model, when obscured to a LEAP, is guessed and tends to flicker. Since VG uses two LEAP sensors, two spatial representations are available each moment for each joint: the method consists of the selection of the one with the lower velocity at each time instant. Choosing the smoother trajectory leads to VG stabilization and precision optimization, reduces occlusions (parts of the hand or handling objects obscuring other hand parts) and/or, when both sensors are seeing the same joint, reduces the number of outliers produced by hardware instabilities. The strategy is experimentally evaluated, in terms of reduction of outliers with respect to a previously used data selection strategy on VG, and results are reported and discussed. In the future, an objective test set has to be imagined, designed, and realized, also with the help of an external precise positioning equipment, to allow also quantitative and objective evaluation of the gain in precision and, maybe, of the intrinsic limitations of the proposed strategy. Moreover, advanced Artificial Intelligence-based (AI-based) real-time data integration strategies, specific for VG, will be designed and tested on the resulting dataset.
