Ultra-wideband Radar Detection of Breathing Rate: A Comparative Evaluation
… We focus on capturing the small mechanical movements caused by breathing. This is traditionally done via a strain gauge worn around the chest or stomach, but these systems limit user movement. Contactless systems provide a unique design that allows free user movement by eliminating all …

Conflict within psychosis treatment in the English NHS: investigating the experiences of patients and psychiatrists
The vociferous psychiatric Service User Movement and critical elements within psychiatry form evidence of conflict within the field of psychosis treatment. Psychiatric treatment of psychosis within the English NHS was investigated to understand the conflict-ridden relationships between …

Women's Voices: an anlysis of views on service user involvement in mental health care
… emphasises the necessity to involve service users in aspects of service planning, practice and evaluation. There is also a growing self-organised user movement, demanding greater and more sophisticated levels of such participation. Despite this apparent consensus between policy makers and …

PRIVACY PRESERVATION IN LOCATION-BASED PROXIMITY SERVICES
… type of services. The proposed techniques let a user control what is disclosed about her location and formally guarantee that these requirements are satisfied. An extensive empirical evaluation was performed, by using a dataset of user movement generated using an agent-based simulator, in which …

Mobile ID protocol: A badge-activated application level handoff of a multimedia streaming to support user mobility
… are ""machine- oriented"", and do not support user mobility. In this thesis, I designed and implemented a badge-activated application-level handoff protocol, called Mobile ID protocol, to implement user mobility support for multimedia streaming applications. The protocol has a location-aware …

The relationship between patient, carer and staff perceptions of need in an assertive community treatment team in South Africa
… has taken priority but the steady growth of the 'user movement' and 'recovery philosophy' has led to this being challenged. This study aimed to establish patient, carer and staff perceptions of patient need, the extent to which these perceptions were homo- or heterogeneous, and what factors were …

Gait Phase Estimation and Foot Trajectory Prediction During Dynamic Walking Using Gated Recurrent Units
… pivotal role in improving the functionality and user experience of worn devices. Rather than operating as a reactive system which only responds to user movement, a de vice which predicts future foot position can anticipate an action before it occurs, reducing latency and moving with the wearer …

Exploration of the lived experience of young adults diagnosed with a mental illness and being treated at a Nigerian psychiatric hospital, regarding their mental health problems
… such as Nigeria. In western society the service user movement has been active in developing policies and guidelines governing mental health care delivery, recognising the centrality of a person’s expertise in his/her own life trajectory. However, little research has been carried out into young …

Linking the Academy and Activism: From constructed subjectivities to participatory, communicative agency.
… its relevance for thinking about service user involvement activity in university settings. The thesis explores methodological and theoretical ideas by first narrating the thematic consistency of the portfolio of published work presented for consideration and, second, considering analytic …

3D Object Detection for Road Safety at Urban Intersections
… of a 3D object detector. By integrating road user movement patterns, vehicle dynamics, and temporal consistencies, this approach fine-tunes 3D object detector performance utilising a single monocular camera view of an intersection. My work sets a promising trajectory for future road safety …

Towards Zero Trust Network Security via Programmable Data Planes
… that enforces least-privilege access on a per-user, process-level basis. The defense creates a custom access scope for each user, restricting their visibility to only resources authorized by their identity policies. These access scopes are bound to user processes and persist across hosts with …

Sanktionerat motstånd : Brukarinflytande som fenomen och praktik
The roots of the idea of user involvement within social services can be found in the efforts of the rising service user movement in the 1960s and 70s. Today the concept of “service user involvement” has been adopted by the state and is widespread within political rhetoric’s as well as in human …

Dynamic user motion prediction using advanced Kalman filtering in 5G mmWave systems
… of mobile environments, coupled with diverse user behaviors and trajectories, complicates this task. Traditional beamforming approaches struggle to adapt to such scenarios, often leading to signal degradation, connectivity drops, inefficient resource utilization and more power consumption. …
