Automatyczna detekcja i pomiar markerów w fotogrametrycznym systemie trójwymiarowego pozycjonowania ciała dla celów rehabilitacji leczniczej
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2006) Tokarczyk, Regina ; Huppert, Michał
Photogrammetric system of positioning for the purpose of medical rehabilitation is based on the images of digital cameras and allows the determination of spatial co-ordinates of selected points of human body. These points consist of characteristic places of skeleton transferred into the surface of human body. They are marked by light foamed polystyrene balls. Apart from these points, also patients' pupils were examined. Reference system is defined by flat paper sheets situated in one surface. The mentioned above points are measured manually, which makes the system not very competitive compared to other systems working in this field. In the framework of developing and modernizing this system, studies on automatic detection and measurement in digital images of the mentioned above three groups of points were carried out. For the detection of markers on the patient's body the method of searching referring to a defined colour was chosen. This search is carried out in the HSI area of colours. For the groups of pixels discovered in the pair of images and making images of markers - centres are determined and then connected into homological pairs based on the following criteria: belonging to a proper epipolar line and minimum of vertical parallax. The proposed method was compared to the manual measurement and it was successful in terms of its accuracy. Because amateur compact digital cameras, used for the recording of the image, save this image in JPG, causing quality loss, the influence of the degree of compression on the accuracy of automatic measurement was examined.

GMO – zalety i wady
(Data obrony: 2019-01-29) Łudzik, Dorota
Wydział Geologii, Geofizyki i Ochrony Środowiska
Genetycznie modyfikowane organizmy (GMO) to organizmy wytwarzane w warunkach laboratoryjnych za pomocą nowoczesnych technik inżynierii genetycznej. Zmiana materiału genetycznego organizmów powoduje, że uzyskują one nowe, pożądane przez ludzi cechy. Umożliwia to ich szerokie zastosowanie w różnych dziedzinach (m.in. medycyna, rolnictwo) zgodnie z obowiązującymi przepisami unijnymi i krajowymi. Wraz z zaletami komercyjnego wprowadzenia zmodyfikowanych organizmów do upraw, żywności i farmakologii pojawia się kwestia związana z oceną ich wpływu na zdrowie i życie ludzi. W niniejszej pracy zdefiniowano pojęcie i genezę genetycznie modyfikowanych organizmów oraz przedstawiono podstawowe modyfikacje genetyczne i metody prowadzące do ich uzyskania. Omówiono zalety związane z ich wykorzystaniem w najważniejszych dziedzinach, a także wskazano ich potencjalne zagrożenie dla zdrowia ludzkiego. Pracę uzupełniono o akty prawne regulujące wykorzystanie GMO w Polsce i Unii Europejskiej.

The interdisciplinarity of the publications of the Medical University of Silesia in Katowice based on the analysis of the co-occurrence of issues specific to medicine and computer science
(Wydawnictwa AGH, 2024) Paluch, Ewelina; Mikulska, Marcela
Over the years, the study of the interdisciplinarity of publications has taken various forms, from its identification based on the disciplines represented by the authors, through the examination of citations used when writing the article, to the analysis of the publication text itself. The last of these approaches seems to be the most reliable in the context of verifying the real integration between disciplines in a specific text. The approach utilized in the conducted research facilitates a deeper analysis of integration not only between disciplines in general but also between specific issues within their domains, aiding the examination of the intensity of such connections. The research was aimed at analyzing publications affiliated with the Medical University of Silesia in Katowice in terms of their connection with issues included in the area of Computer Science. OpenAlex, a bibliographic database supported by data mainly from Scopus, WoS and Google Scholar, which uses concepts that make up the Wikidata knowledge base to describe the content of publications was used. A list of 14,136 publications from the Medical University of Silesia in Katowice was downloaded from the OpenAlex bibliographic database including such data as: publication id, title, author, abstract, journal, date of publication, ISSN number or concepts. Overall, the most prevalent concepts in the publications were concepts regarding the field of the medicine (medicine, internal medicine, cardiology). The most prevalent concepts concerning computer science in the publications were: computer science, logistic regression and artificial intelligence. The strenght of the connections between concepts regarding medicine and computer science was calculated by calculating the arithmetic mean of the score value for each pair of IT and medical concepts contained in a single publication. The study showed the importance of computer Science issues in the medical publications and highligted the growing importance of AI in the field of medicine.
