  • Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship of meeting the recommended levels of physical activity (PA) with health status and preventive health behavior in adults. Methods: A total of 5630 adults 18 years of age or older were included in this study. PA was assessed using a series of questions that categorized activities based on their metabolic equivalent values and then categorized individuals based on the reported frequency and duration of such activities. Participants reporting 150 minutes or more of moderate-intensity PA per week were considered to have met the PA guidelines. Multiple logistic regression was used to model the relationships between meeting PA guidelines and health status and preventive health behavior, while controlling for confounding variables. Results: Overall, 53.9% (95% confidence interval [CI], 51.9 to 55.9%) of adults reported meeting the recommended levels of PA. Among adults with good general health, 56.9% (95% CI, 54.7 to 59.1%) reported meeting the recommended levels of PA versus 43.1% (95% CI, 40.9 to 45.3%) who did not. Adults who met the PA guidelines were significantly more likely not to report high cholesterol, diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, arthritis, asthma, depression, or overweight. Furthermore, adults meeting the PA guidelines were significantly more likely to report having health insurance, consuming fruits daily, consuming vegetables daily, and not being a current cigarette smoker. Conclusions: In this study, we found meeting the current guidelines for PA to have a protective relationship with both health status and health behavior in adults. Health promotion programs should focus on strategies that help individuals meet the current guidelines of at least 150 minutes per week of moderate-intensity PA.

  • These days many meeting minutes of various organizations are publicly available and the interest in these documents by people is increasing. However, it is time-consuming and tedious to read and understand whole documents even if the documents can be accessed easily. In addition, what most people want from meeting minutes is to catch the main issues of the meeting and understand its contexts rather than to know whole discussions of the meetings. This paper proposes a novel method for summarizing documents considering the characteristics of the meeting minutes. It first extracts the sentences which are addressing the main issues. For each issues expressed in the extracted sentences, the sentences related with the issue are then extracted in the next step. Then, by transforming the extracted sentences into a tree-structure form, the results of the proposed method can be understood better than existing methods. In the experiments, the proposed method shows remarkable improvement in performance and this result implies that the proposed method is plausible for summarizing meeting minutes.

  • The service discovery method is an important technology finding and offering users' desirable services in smart meeting spaces. Extensive researches of the service discovery methods are achieved: SSDP(simple service discovery protocol) of UPnP(universal plug & play) and so on. However, there are several limitations to satisfy the requirements of service discovery in smart meeting spaces. In this paper, the requirements of service discovery in smart meeting spaces are investigated and the service discovery method based on multi-agent system is proposed in the practical aspect. Additionally, we explore the possibilities of the proposed approach by implementing a couple of services belonging to the smart meeting spaces.
