Constitutive Factor

There is no research on the assessment or treatment of help-seeking behaviours for individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI). This paper describes the development of a protocol, NICE (Noticing you have a problem, Identifying the information you need for help, Compensatory strategies, Evaluating progress) to train help-seeking for adults with TBI when lost. Theoretical and treatment components from three empirically validated interventions that target social problem-solving and communication skills were adapted to develop NICE: the Group Interactive Structured Treatment for Social Competence (GIST), the Problem Solving Group Protocol (PSG) and Interpersonal Recall (IPR). Preliminary pilot data evaluating the efficacy are presented for three adult persons with TBI. All three participants improved on the Executive Function Route Finding Task (EFRT) and help-seeking behaviours when wayfinding. Help-seeking is a constitutive factor in the wayfinding process capable of improvement. Preliminary evidence supports further investigation of this group intervention.

Automatic navigation in an unknown environment raises various challenges as many cues about orientation are difficult to perceive without the use of vision. Though assisted aids such as GPS devices help in route finding, still it fails to fulfill safety requirements. This paper proposes a framework that provides accurate guiding and information on the route traversal and the topography of the road ahead. The framework is composed of technologies such as Lumigrids, Drone, GPS, Mobile applications, Cloud storage which are used to map the road surface and generate proper navigation guidance to the end user. This is done in three stages; [1]. Off-line mapping of the road surface and storing this information in the cloud. 2. Wearable technology used for obtaining in real-time surface information and comparing it to the data on the cloud facilitating accurate and safer navigation 3. Updating the cloud information with information collected by the pedestrian

The Cost

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the development of an aircraft-type autonomous portable drone suitable for surveillance and disaster management. The drone is capable of flying at a maximum speed of 76 km/h. This portable drone comprises five distinct parts those are easily installable within several minutes and can be fit in a small portable kit. The drone consists of a ballistic recovery system, allowing the drone landing vertically. The integrated high-definition camera sends real-time video stream of desired area to the ground control station. In addition, the drone is capable of carrying ~1.8 kg of payload. Design/methodology/approach In order to design and develop the portable drone, the authors sub-divided the research activities in six fundamental steps: survey of the current drone technologies, design the system architecture of the drone, simulation and modeling of various modules of the drone, development of various modules of the drone and their performance analysis, integration of various modules of the drone, and real-life performance analysis and finalization. Findings Experimental results: the cruise speed of the drone was in the range between 45 and 62 km/h. The drone was capable of landing vertically using the ballistic recovery system attached with it. On the contrary, the drone can transmit real-time video to the ground control station and, thus, suitable for surveillance. The audio system of the drone can be used for announcement of emergency messages. The drone can carry 1.8 kg of payload and can be used during disaster management. The drone parts are installed within 10 min and fit in a small carrying box. Practical implications The autonomous aircraft-type portable drone has a wide range of applications including surveillance, traffic jam monitoring and disaster management. Social implications The cost of the cost-effective drone is within $700 and creates opportunities for the deployment in the least developed countries. Originality/value The autonomous aircraft-type portable drone along with the ballistic recovery system were designed and developed by the authors using their won technology.
