Wide base of evidence across different studies and clinical practices shows the effectiveness and safety of CBT as compared to other types of treatment. After a face-to-face session with therapists, patients would typically carry out Homework, a central concept to CBT. Patients fill in their worksheets or diaries using pen-and-paper forms between two consecutive face-face sessions with the therapist. Homework provides crucial information about patients to the therapist. In this paper, we discuss mobile support for the delivery of CBT interventions in general, and present an Android app called CBT Assistant that supports behavioral interventions for patients suffering from SAD. CBT Assistant, highly adaptable to the specific context of a given patient. is designed for both therapists and patients, CBT Assistant provides active support for end-to-end CBT protocol including identification of stress or situations that trigger mental problems, assessing their severity, recording and then analyzing the patient's inputs. We believe that CBT Assistant can improve the efficacy of the therapy, and makes the delivery of CBT less taxing for both the therapist and patient. CBT Assistant is designed with input from technologists and therapists. It will be evaluated first by healthy subjects and then by patients receiving CBT at the National University Hospital.","PeriodicalId":437025,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Global Humanitarian Technology Conference - South Asia Satellite (GHTC-SAS)","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123097400","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Approximately 15% of all people with diabetes will be affected by a foot ulcer during their lifetime. Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) often co-exist with vascular insufficiency and are the major cause of gangrene and amputation in people with diabetes. Risk identification is fundamental for effective preventive management of the foot in people with diabetes. The risk of ulcers or amputations is increased in people who have had diabetes ≥10 years, are male, have poor glucose control, or have cardiovascular, retinal, or renal complications. it is generally agreed that non-mechanical factors such as peripheral neuropathy, dry skin, and/or vascular problems are often major contributing causes for skin ulceration. Therefore monitoring the subcutaneous tissue of foot for callus formation in a low-resource setting, and early prevention by identifying and relieving the \"hot spot\" pressure points in shoe insole is a necessity. People with diabetes must inspect their feet regularly, or have a family member or care provider do it on their behalf. Daily inspection is the foundation of diabetic foot ulcer prevention. Fortunately India has a good penetration of mobile phones, camera and now a days tab which can be an effective monitoring device and therefore we present a mobile/camera/tab based application for monitoring sole of the foot for calluses and detecting pressure “hot spots” in the shoe insole so that they can be relieved in a timely manner and they done the first level diagnosis and reduce the treatment cost and we used advanced gabour filter algorithm for effective result And also proposing, the educating the people about the diabetic foot ulcer by that we can reduce the foot ulcer problems.","PeriodicalId":437025,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Global Humanitarian Technology Conference - South Asia Satellite (GHTC-SAS)","volume":"79 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121723028","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper presents an algorithm for simulating two important performance parameters of solar simulators, namely spectral match and spatial non-uniformity. It can be used to determine the uniformity of light falling on a plane kept below a light source at a particular distance. If the light source has a known spectrum, it can be used to find the distribution of the irradiance of the light source throughout the wavelength range of interest. Light source may be a single source or an array of sources. The required data for this algorithm is the light source intensity, number of sources, distance from the light source to the plane whose uniformity is to be calculated, viewing angle of the light source and the spectrum of the individual sources. The algorithm can also consider the effect of reflecting surfaces, if their position and average reflectance is given. From the resulting irradiance map of the test plane, the parameter spatial non-uniformity can be calculated, while from the spectral irradiance, the Spectral Match with the reference solar spectrum can be calculated.","PeriodicalId":437025,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Global Humanitarian Technology Conference - South Asia Satellite (GHTC-SAS)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126526401","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Social networks help us to communicate amongst our acquaintances and friends with whom we share similar interests on a common platform. Globally, there are more than 200 million visually impaired people. Visual impairment has many issues associated with it, but the one that stands out is the lack of accessibility to content for entertainment and socializing safely. This paper deals with the development of a keyboard less social networking website for visually impaired. The term keyboard less signifies minimum use of keyboard and allows the user to explore the contents of the website using assistive technologies like screen readers and speech to text (STT) conversion technologies which in turn provides a user friendly experience for the target audience. As soon as the user with minimal computer proficiency opens this website, with the help of screen reader, he/she identifies the username and password fields. The user speaks out his username and with the help of STT conversion (using Web Speech API), the username is entered. Then the control moves over to the password field and similarly, the password of the user is obtained and matched with the one saved in the website database. The concept of acoustic fingerprinting has been implemented for successfully validating the passwords of registered users and foiling intentions of malicious attackers. On successful match of the passwords, the user is able to enjoy the services of the website without any further hassle. Once the access obstacles associated to deal with social networking sites are successfully resolved and proper technologies are put to place, social networking sites can be a rewarding, fulfilling, and enjoyable experience for the visually impaired people.","PeriodicalId":437025,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Global Humanitarian Technology Conference - South Asia Satellite (GHTC-SAS)","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122882614","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To lessen this burden several renewable energy sources are used - one of which is photovoltaic energy. The source of solar/photovoltaic energy is the radiation of the sun which is abundant in nature. A solar cell produces electric energy when sunlight is incident on it. Photon (produced due to interaction between light and matter) hits the p-n junction of a solar cell (made up of photosensitive material) produces electrons in abundance, which may be routed through for proper functioning of the load. The amount of current produced by a solar cell/panel depends on various factors due to which the state variables of a cell keep changing. The various state variables in question manifest different behaviour as time and place changes and empirical formulae of a solar cell does not suffice. In absence of such empirical formula, one has to rely on estimation in order to predict the behaviour of a solar cell. In this paper the estimation of state of a solar cell has been done by a Kalman filter, which is a linear quadratic estimator. Furthermore, the filter can predict the state variables based on the assumptions of linearity and gaussianity of noise, inherent to the Kalman filter.","PeriodicalId":437025,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Global Humanitarian Technology Conference - South Asia Satellite (GHTC-SAS)","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126262914","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper proposes a model of local employment generation in rural or underdeveloped areas, which often do not have an adequate infrastructure (including wireless connectivity and uninterrupted electricity supply) to enable them to take advantage of technology. We assume that most people in such areas already possess and can make use of a basic mobile phone with facilities to call and text. Our model uses a kiosk based architecture (similar to ITC's e-Chaupal), with a subscription based model of services to standalone clients. The kiosks are equipped with net connectivity and enable the services to the mobile phones of the clients, with each kiosk serving up to 500 rural users. Users looking for work update their employable skills at the system, while users needing jobs done post the details. The system connects the skills with the places where needed, and includes the facilities to rank employment seeking users with their suitability for the job in real time. Such a model is feasible to run with optimal costs, and can play a good role in stimulating local employment and ultimately the local economy.","PeriodicalId":437025,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE Global Humanitarian Technology Conference - South Asia Satellite (GHTC-SAS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129290649","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
