Diabetic foot is a chronic disease that occurs due to increased glucose levels, in addition to being the result of poorly controlled diabetes. In this case, the affected foot increases in temperature, because it contains accumulated blood. According to the Alianza para el Slvataje del Pie diabético en el Perú reported that currently has been increasing the cases of diabetic foot being 8% of the Peruvian population suffering from diabetic foot. Many research papers mention that the temperature difference of both feet has to be minimal due to the homogeneous distribution of the body, but when the temperature of the feet is higher than 2.2 ° C degrees with respect to the other foot, it is an indicative of diabetic foot. That is why the thermal evaluation of feet with suspected diabetic foot was raised in this research to prevent future damage or even amputation of the foot; first a thermal image of both feet is captured using the FLIR ONE Pro thermal camera following a temperature range protocol, then the images are processed in the MATLAB software in order to obtain the zones where the variations are greater or equal 2.2 degrees of temperature and finally superimpose it on the foot with higher temperature to determine the area where the highest temperature was detected. It was obtained as results, that patients with diabetic foot do not have sensitivity in both feet, which will indicate us as a result and in addition to the difference in temperature between both feet which is a possible diabetic foot.
Muscle heating is the process that every athlete follows before any physical activity or sport which are the legs where greater force is exerted and in case a good heating routine is not practiced, the muscles can suffer tears, cramps or fractures due to sudden movements while the muscles are cold. According to the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases of the United States, the most common injuries occur in the ankles because it is a central point where greater force is exerted by the induced weight of the athletes, in addition if excessive muscle care is important. That is why the evaluation of muscle heating in athletes to prevent muscle damage was raised in this research work, first two thermal images of the before and after heating will be obtained using the FLIR ONE Pro thermal camera following a protocol of distance, position and temperature range, then the images are processed in the MATLAB software to map them in the temperature range and then subtract them to obtain the zones where the temperature variations are found indicating where an adequate heating has been carried out. As a result, the areas where the subtraction of both images was positive were obtained, this new image of the subtraction is superimposed on the real image, showing the real image with the areas where it has proceeded with an optimal heating.
The people who require greater protection and safety are children, mainly when they are in an educational center, where teachers are responsible for their care, therefore, it is important to have prepared teachers to face emergency situations, since, the sense of insecurity is greater in national schools due to the shortage of prepared teachers to handle emergencies situations in Peru; there are studies which mention that 98.2% of accidents in educational centers are trauma and falls, also 1 of every 4 students suffers a fracture, therefore, in this study, spatial data of kindergarten and primary education is presented from Peru, relating the number of students per teacher for the year 2019. The regions whose student-teacher relationship is risky for the welfare of the students are presented and analyzed by georeference, this data is public and is provided by the Ministerio de Educación de Perú (MINEDU), and using tools from the Geographic Information System (GIS), and it was possible to generate maps at the district level. Observing at the maps, it was possible to identify that the areas with the greatest risk are in the natural region of the jungle. Base on the spatial distribution of vulnerable points and outliers of the studentteacher relationship at the levels of kindergarten and primary education, it is recommended that governmental and nongovernmental institutions in Peru allocate resources urgently to reduce student vulnerability, reducing the relationship between the number of students and teachers, in order to get better the response to any accident or natural disaster.
Currently in Peru, patients with degenerative diseases, such as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) have lost of communication ability. Many researchers' papers that establish basic communication system for these patients. It is also essential to know their feelings or state of mind through their emotions, in this study, we present an analysis of electroencephalographic signals (EEG) applied to emotions such as fear, tenderness, happiness and surprised; it was used linear discriminant analysis (LDA) to get the identification and classification of the 4 emotions with a success rate of 63.36% on average.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
