Intelligent beehive monitoring system based on internet of things and colony state analysis by Yiyao Zheng, Xiaoyan Cao, Shaocong Xu, Shihui Guo, Rencai Huang, Yingjiao Li, Yijie Chen, Liulin Yang, Xiaoyu Cao, Zainura Idrus, Hongting Sun

“…With the development of the IoT and computer vision algorithms, we hope to provide an automated and efficient system to meet the above challenges. In this paper, we proposed a hive monitoring system, and build a visualization module in the cloud to monitor the activity of bee colonies and the environmental dynamic changes. (1) We proposed a multi-bee tracking algorithm to solve the problem of monitoring bees at the door of the hive; (2) we constructed a dataset containing various complex scenes, named BEE22, for training and testing the performance of our algorithm; (3) we designed a bee counting rule, based on results of multi-bee tracking algorithm, to reasonably count the bees entering or leaving the beehive; (4) we have deployed multiple sensors around(center, margin, door, and environment) the hive to accurately reflect the changes in the environment around the hive. …”

“The Heart of the Center”: Exploring the Role of the Patient Care Technician in US Dialysis Care by Megan Urbanski, Emma Blythe, Alicia Hamblin, Alexis A. Bender, Courtney Hoge, Clarica Douglas-Ajayi, Fran Rickenbach, Jessica Joseph, Kelli Collins Damron, Jennifer Craft Morgan, Bernard Jaar, Laura Plantinga

“…Eight themes emerged: (1) value of PCT role is not reflected in job or organizational policies and structures; (2) PCTs play a flexible and often ill-defined role in dialysis clinics; (3) despite being in a position with high risk of burnout, PCTs find ways to persevere and provide high-quality care; (4) PCTs are often perceived as “helpers” or ancillary rather than an integral part of the dialysis care team; (5) PCT job training and qualifications are not standardized and often not commensurate with job expectations and responsibilities; (6) PCT-patient relationships are deeply valued, but boundaries can be fluid and become blurred because of the frequency and nature of dialysis care; (7) dialysis patients and staff are vulnerable to multilevel workplace safety issues; and (8) PCT-staff dynamics have a strong impact on employee morale, clinic efficiency, and patient satisfaction. …”
