In the context of the basic project J6 4104 “Slovenian toponyms in space and time (historical topography of Slovenia from the Middle Ages to the 19th century)” that was carried out by the ZRC SAZU, we were involved in the transmission of plain text into the relational database. Existing text was formed in accordance with the agreed standards, which allow automatic transfer of data from text files into tables of a relational database using our own developed software tools. While working with the data we had to solve several methodological problems. From the technical point of view the question of storing entries of original archival sources and their editions was raised. We decided for slightly modified system Citation Style Language, which is designed in XML standard and uses a series of research tools for organizing bibliographies. New website “Slovenian historical topography” is already in test form available on http://topografija.zrc-sazu.si/. The user interface is programmed in PHP language, and relational database server uses MySQL. The website provides basic and advanced search and show results on Google maps. We also plan to export results (in xml format).
F.15 Development of a new information system/databases
COBISS.SI-ID: 28601895The energy sector has an important role in decreasing the consequences of climate change. The purpose of the web application is to facilitate finding of the best combination of natural energy systems and ensure effective future planning. Integrated model allows calculation of mass and energy flows within a geographical area.
F.11 Development of a new service
COBISS.SI-ID: 28892455In 2015, we have contributed to two projects that are aimed to support public and personalised nutritional assessment. In the project “EU Menu”, which is financed by the European Food Safety Agency (EFSA) and coordinated by the Slovenian National Institute of Public Health, we have upgraded the Open Platform for Clinical Nutrition to serve the needs of the Slovenian survey on food consumption. For this aim, we have indexed and classified the national food, recipe and supplement composition database with respect to FoodEx2 system proposed by EFSA. In another project “Enjoy in Health”, which is financed by the Norway Financial Mechanism, we have developed i) an application to support the CINDI weight-loss programme for adults performed in Slovenian health centres, and ii) a mobile app to trace physical activity of children and adolescents. The mobile app is wirelessly connected with a fitness wristband and is based on OPEN.
F.22 Improvement to existing health/diagnostic methods/procedures
Within the PD_manager project we developed games for rehabilitation and monitoring patients with Parkinson's disease. The games use a 3D camera (Kinect V2 sensor) and allow the monitoring of a patients' improvement (or slower progression) remotely. In the first game, the patient collects apples on a tree, gathers points and advances in higher levels where apples are positioned higher and more far apart. The aim of the game is to stretch the patients arms thus preserving the range of movement of his arms. In the second game, the patient picks small cubes and puts them in a box. This games is focused on preserving the patient's fine motor skills of the hands. The game settings are retrieved from a remote server from where the doctor can control the therapy via web interface. Game results are also stored on the server together with kinematic data (position and orientation) of the patient's joints during gameplay.
F.22 Improvement to existing health/diagnostic methods/procedures
This Special Issue aims at filling the gap between 'pure' machine vision and 'general' computer vision solutions.
