Data Quality Tools

Data quality tools are essential for businesses to make strategic decisions, achieve business objectives, and solve critical challenges. TechTarget defines data quality as a health condition of data based on factors such as accuracy, consistency, reliability, completeness, and whether it’s real-time or not. If the data is bad, it can cost organizations an average of $12.9 million every year, according to a Gartner report . On the other hand, 80% of companies see a surge in revenue after implementing good and real-time data.

In this context, data quality tools play a pivotal role in determining the health of data. They examine the data to ensure it is good enough to make informed business decisions. Let’s discuss the top data quality tools, and their pros and cons, to help you make the right choice for your organization.

What are Data Quality Methods?

IBM describes a data quality method as a process organized by analytical functions to provide in-depth knowledge and best practices for data quality strategies. There are different types of data quality methods, which include:

Data Validation Through One or More Sources

The data validation process involves the implementation of predefined rules and knowledge to validate the integrity of data through single or multiple databases.

Conducting Data Quality Studies

This systematic process is about designing and executing data quality assessment studies to determine the health condition of the data.

Identification and Validation of Data condition

Identification of the data condition process is also known as case definition or case finding. In this process, data analysts use predetermined rules to identify and validate the data health condition.

The post Covid-19: air suvidha self declaration form for india appeared first on education.telefony-taksi.ru.

]]>

Travelers arriving from China, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, South Korea or Thailand no longer need to complete the Air Suvidha Self Declaration form for India.

This requirement was introduced in January 2023 for travelers from certain countries and ended on 13. February.

People from all other countries can now enter India without a negative test result, vaccination certificate or health declaration form. Passengers should check with their airline for any special requirements.

What is the self-explanation form for India?

The Air Suvidha self-declaration form for India was a questionnaire that had to be completed by all passengers traveling to India.

The form was one of many COVID-19 travel restrictions for India put in place during the pandemic. The restrictions have now been lifted.

The self-declaration form for India had to be filled out before departure. Affected travelers had to provide their travel plans and address in India and answer some questions about the coronavirus.

Who must complete the self-declaration form for India?

International travelers are not required to fill out a self-declaration form for India.

The form has been temporarily reintroduced for visitors from China and some other countries, but it is not required anymore.

Passengers must meet standard entry requirements, which include a visa.

Where to find the self-declaration form for India?

Travelers could access the self-declaration form for India online.

The form has since been discontinued.

How to fill out the self-declaration form for India

When it was mandatory, travelers filled out the form with the following information:

  • Name
  • Nationality
  • Age
  • Passport number
  • Contact details

There are also a few details to be provided about the trip, such as:

  • Date of arrival in India
  • Flight number
  • Seat number
  • Departure point
  • Place of entry
  • Contact address for India

In addition, some questions about recent travels and health had to be answered.

Finally, the traveler had to submit the form, certify that the information was provided to the best of his or her knowledge, and confirm that he or she agreed to the quarantine and other health protocols.

Do I still need a visa for India??

You must be in possession of an appropriate visa for India. Indian visa requirements still apply even if you have discontinued Air Suvidha self-declaration.

Passport holders from a number of countries can apply online for an India eVisa.

The traveler must simply fill out the India eVisa application with the required information. This eliminates the hassle of going to an embassy or consulate, and the application can be made from the comfort of your own home.

We software engineers sometimes work under questionable conditions. I have experienced a project team that had to go live at one o'clock in the morning with an overall system that had been developed over the last few months. Part of this system was a customized SAP solution for storing subscriber data. This SAP system had 120(!) Changes that had not yet been put into production. The team had accumulated them over the course of a year due to lack of testing capacity. What would happen if you actually "transported" those 120 changes that night?

When I see something like this, I ask myself questions:

  • Couldn't it have been done differently?
  • How can it be that one must necessarily go into operation at one o'clock in the night?
  • How is it possible that 120 uncommitted changes accumulate somewhere?

But that's just the tip. The stress culture is everywhere in our industry. Deadlines are set too tightly, the scope of the project is no longer discussed on the road but considered fixed. Teams get pressed for time just before release dates and try to compensate by working overtime.

Is it just us software engineers who are so crazy, or is this the case in the working world in general?

There is a method to it

The German Federal Institute for Occupational Safety and Health wanted to know exactly that. She organized a telephone survey of 20 in 2012.000 people and turned it into a report, the 2012 Stress Report.

As I read the report, I realized: it's not just us SW engineers who are so crazy, the whole working world is! The 2012 Stress Report reports on the psychological demands of the workplace and the working conditions that can be critical to employees' health. These include, for example

  • Long-lasting high time pressure
  • frequent interruptions at work
  • monotonous activities
  • lack of recreational opportunities, etc.

Such conditions often lead to stress. In addition, however, there are also work requirements that have more conducive properties (called resources) and can have a positive effect on health. This includes u.a.

  • Being able to plan one's own work
  • decide about breaks yourself
  • influence on the amount of work
  • Communication and cooperation with colleagues and superiors

Worth reading: Stress Report 2012

The roughly 200-page report from the Federal Institute investigates how many employees in Germany currently experience frequent stress factors at work. It is not only about the stress factors alone, but also about the existing resources at work. Furthermore, the extent of health complaints – also of a psychovegetative nature – and their joint occurrence with stress and resources are presented.

Data and facts in the report are broken down by gender, age, working hours, industries and professions. In-depth chapters also present current data and research findings on key work characteristics (deadline and performance pressure, working hours, leadership, multitasking, restructuring) and their consequences.

Aaahhh

Demands on us engineers

Virtual Scrum of Scrums

Resources in us engineers

Change in the last 2 years

The participants were asked: Has stress increased in the last 2 years?? Are you quantitatively (quantitatively) overwhelmed? Or qualitatively (professionally)?

We are heroes

We are heroes

We work really well with colleagues (92%), divide up our work ourselves (90%), decide for ourselves when to take breaks (80%) and get help from our direct supervisors (59%).

Everything is actually green, isn't it?? Then why do we whine that stress has increased in the last 2 years (46%) and complain that we are overwhelmed by the amount of work (20%)?

The long-term consequences

Maybe we are just people like everyone else. Multitasking and deadline pressure are only temporarily attractive and stimulating, but not in the long run. This is also shown by the research: There are disturbances in the body with continuous stress:

  • Pain in the neck and shoulder area
  • Lower back pain, low back pain
  • Pain in arms and hands
  • Pain and swelling in the legs
  • Pain in the hips and
  • pain in the knees

Deadline pressure also with you?

Easily meet deadlines from now on. With my 22-point action plan, this is easy for you.

Even the psyche cannot cope with this in the long run. Results..

  • general fatigue, tiredness, exhaustion
  • nocturnal sleep disturbances
  • Nervousness and irritability
  • depressiveness

More screen, more battery, more for health: the Apple Watch Series 4 opens up new dimensions. With the update to watchOS 5.12. the watch can – for the time being in the USA – create ECGs.

Apple Watches

Not quite three months after its unveiling, the Apple Watch Series 4 is finally getting an essential feature with a software update, becoming the first consumer product to provide a reliable electrocardiogram (ECG). To do this, you start the update to watch OS 5.1.2, which is available from today, included ECG app and places the index finger of the other hand on the digital crown. A circuit closes, the measurement begins. The system update also includes software that uses regular pulse measurement to detect arrhythmias and thus the risk of atrial fibrillation. If the watch detects a corresponding deviation in the heartbeat, it notifies the wearer to take an ECG and, if in doubt, to consult a doctor. The new features are only available in the US for the time being, since the Apple Watch needs an official approval as a medical device. This has been granted by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration). In the EU, Apple has long since applied for such a release, but it is uncertain when this will take place. This is unlikely to happen this year.

Test from 24. September 2018: every year a new watch, with only incremental improvements – but this year is different with the Apple Watch Series 4 and the watchOS 5 that accompanies it, the new watch makes a significant leap forward in development and points in the direction it will continue to move in. However, it's not just the hardware that matters, but also the software.

Conclusion on the Apple Watch Series 4

The Apple Watch Series 4 means a significant leap forward, even if some of the new features are not yet usable, such as the creation of the ECG – and other innovations already come with watchOS 5 also on older devices. The entry-level prices of 429 euros (40 mm) and 459 euros (44 mm) for the GPS version (the LTE watches cost 100 euros more each) may seem daunting, but like the iPhone 5 in its day, the Apple Watch Series 4 primarily brings more information to the larger screen – app developers still have to do their homework for it. But even the upgrade from the year-old Apple Watch Series 3 seems justified if you get an ECG device for your wrist in early 2019. Apple is likely to have even more health features in the works, but it is highly uncertain when these will appear in a product.

Special models

Apple sells the Apple Watch Nike+ in both versions as Series 3 and Series 4, each at the prices of the standard aluminum models. Only in stainless steel version and only as Series 4 are the fashionable Apple Watch Hermes to have, at prices at 1299 euros in the 40-mm edition and 1349 euros for the 44-mm variant.

Larger screen

That a lot has changed becomes clear as soon as you unpack it. A cardboard sleeve (unfortunately still shrink-wrapped) frames the cardboard box containing the watch – the wristband is included separately this time, also wrapped in cardboard. The watch (our test unit is a black aluminum model with a 44-millimeter screen) is packaged in a felt case, with the charger and cable lying next to it as usual – but not in a plastic shell, but in one made of cardboard. Apple has promised more sustainability and packaging made from renewable raw materials – this has already been met with the Apple Watch Series 4.

However, technical innovations are essential. This also starts on the surface: The case of the smart watch is only slightly taller and wider, but a bit thinner compared to the two previous models – the visible area on the screen, however, is much larger. Apple speaks of thirty percent, although the diagonals have only increased from 42 mm to 44 mm and from 38 mm to 40 mm respectively.

However, apps now take advantage of more of the available space the screen now goes all the way to the corners and edges, so you simply see more in each app. However, at launch, this is mainly relevant only for Apple's own apps and those of a few third-party developers. Because developers still have to do their homework, almost all of the apps on our iPhone that offer an extension for the Apple Watch Series 4 do not yet cope with the new screen defaults and therefore can not be installed on the watch. Simply scaling up doesn't work, the Series 4 finally claims the areas of the geometry not used at all so far. Update, 24.9. Numerous developers have apparently used the weekend and Monday and adapted their apps. Specifically, we can now install apps like DB Navigator, Runkeeper, Carrot 5 or kicker on the watch, which was not yet the case on Friday. Update end

Watch faces with much more information

How to make use of the space is already shown by the two new watch faces, one of which Apple has set up ex-factory: Infograph in round form (In addition, there is also the Infograph in modular form). Both "watch faces" have in common that up to eight complications can be put on the dial, previously there was a maximum of four. Some complications are also optimized for these views, the one for activity not only shows the filling level of the rings, but also gives concrete figures for training and calorie consumption, the one for temperature shows the current (calculated) value as well as daily minimum and maximum. Also only possible here: Putting favorite contacts on the watch face, which you can reach with a tap. A similar function had watchOS 1 already offered, the pressure on the side button brought a view on the screen, on which up to twelve contacts were placed. With the update to watchOS 2, this feature had given way to a multitasking view with the most important apps, which is still part of the system today. The infographics are exclusive to the new Series 4, but other innovations are coming to older watches with watchOS 5.

Apps like Photos, Mail or Messages benefit the most from the larger screen of the Apple Watch Series 4, you now get a much better impression of your own pictures and text messages can now be read somewhat reasonably.

Automatism when exercising, better views

You don't need an Apple Watch Series 4 for this, the update to watchOS 5 already does it: Automatic workout recording. How many times hadn't we realized after we started our sporting activity that we hadn't even activated recording at the beginning. The new operating system now remedies this by letting the watch ask after a while if you don't want to record the workout you just started, using the data the Apple Watch has collected from the start. Unfortunately this is only valid for a very limited selection, running as well as walking indoor and outdoor, swimming, cross trainer and rowing machine. For our preferred sporting mode of locomotion, cycling in the fresh air, this is not offered. And still the watch doesn't stop at traffic lights either. No special hardware would be necessary for this, algorithms should be able to recognize what we are doing quite easily on the basis of the GPS data and the pulse. An automatic stop after training is also only available for runners. There are also two new favorites in the workout app that were previously hidden under "other" – yoga and hiking.

For the latter, the altitude measurement is especially interesting, which we also have on the screen of the watch when cycling. For running, there is a new feature on the larger screen: The rolling kilometer. It shows the time needed for the last kilometer, i.e. not for the meters 2001 to 3000, but at meter 3076 the time needed from meters 2076 to 3075. Runners can thus control their speed even a bit better. Outdoor training should now be possible for an hour longer, up to six hours at a time. We have not been so diligent to verify this yet. Optimizations to many components are responsible for the extension, such as the more efficient S4 CPU, the GPS and the heart rate sensor. We can't say much about the battery life in the shortness of our test so far. We put the watch on at 71 percent charge on Friday afternoon, then trained on the bike for an hour, ran for half an hour the next morning and only plugged it into the charger in the early afternoon with ten percent charge left. We could also expect such things from a fresh battery, but whether it will now last longer than the previous maximum of two days (with little training) remains to be seen. We will update the test accordingly.

Caution, cases!

A technical update is given to the accelerometers in the Apple Watch Series 4. These are now able to detect values up to 32 g, until now it stopped at 16 g. This brings a new, useful function, only for the Series 4 (and its future successors). For so the watch is able to recognize falls as such. This can save lives, because if you fall and don't move any further, the phone connected to the watch (or the watch alone in its LTE variant) calls 911 – and knows the right phone number for each country right away. The watch also sends the coordinates and alerts the emergency contacts stored in the emergency passport. We have better not tried this, the misuse of the emergency numbers is finally punishable and in itself we did not want to lie on the face at all.

In the case of a less serious fall, however, you still have the opportunity to cancel the emergency call scenario after the fall. However, some sports or exercises can still be misinterpreted by the sensors as a fall, so when the fall sensor is activated, an appropriate warning appears. And if the wearer of the watch is older than 65 years, the function activates itself, a very useful feature.

Better pulse measurement, soon with ECG

Recently, we had visited the cardiologist because of repeated warnings of our Apple Watch Series 3 against too high resting pulse (>100 bpm), who fortunately found no problems. However, he pointed out to us that heart rate monitors are sometimes quite inaccurate, since they do not recognize extrasystoles and then display a higher heart rate. In terms of heart health, the Apple Watch Series 4 will bring real improvements, but we'll have to wait to try them out in the long run. This starts with the optical pulse measurement. Four instead of only two laser diodes emit green light, the photocells are arranged on the back of the watch around its center in a circle. The two infrared diodes, which check the pulse every ten minutes outside of training, are still attached near the center. With the new geometry, Apple wants to increase the reliability of the measurement, but during our performance test in the doctor's office a few weeks ago, we had already noticed with the Series 3 that its determined values were very close to those of the professional ECG.

Soon, however, we'll have the pleasure of being able to take an electrocardiogram ourselves with the fancy device on our wrist, without having to hook ourselves up to big gadgets with their weird suction cups. One electrode is installed on the back of the watch, a second one is in the digital crown. If you touch it, the circuit closes and the watch is able to create an ECG from the changes in current and write the data to the Health app. We'll have to wait a while for this feature though, Apple still needs clearance from the FDA in the US, they've already applied for clearance in the EU. In the U.S., Apple should be able to release the ECG via a software update before the end of the year; the manufacturer has not yet given a time frame for the EU.

The ECG device on the wrist, however, will offer a real advance in heart health. Because if the watch now registers a pulse above an adjustable threshold (so about 100 bpm), or – new under watchOS 5 – a pulse below a minimum value (ex works 40 bpm), you get not only the corresponding alarm on his wrist, but also the request to create an ECG – the data you can then immediately send by mail to the doctor of confidence or put him a printout in the mailbox. Similarly, the watch alerts you when it detects atrial fibrillation, a symptom of potentially serious conditions that should be investigated further with an ECG.

What the Apple Watch Series 4 cannot yet do, despite speculation to the contrary: Measure blood pressure and blood sugar. Both would be possible with spectroscopy alone, and Apple also holds the corresponding patents. However, the hardware of the current edition is not able to do so, as the manufacturer assures us. A 24-hour blood pressure monitor or even one for measuring glucose levels would be a hit – but when Apple will build such technology into a product remains completely open.

Connection to the outside

The Apple Watch Edition has had its day. The gold model of the first generation probably only had symbolic value anyway and hardly found any buyers, the ceramic model of the Series 2 and 3, on the other hand, was still somewhat affordable, although significantly more expensive than the stainless steel variant. Ceramic remains as a material, however, together with sapphire glass on the underside of the aluminum and stainless steel models. Apple cites a technical background: because the antennas of the watch are now no longer behind the screen and radiate only upwards, but sit below directly under the lid. Now that it's permeable to electromagnetic waves, reception improves, especially with the LTE variant of the watch. The GPS version and its Bluetooth and WLAN antennas also benefit from the new design. In practice this is hardly noticeable so far.

Whereas in another hardware design change, we hear significant differences. Microphone (right) and speaker (left) of the watch are now on different sides, Apple wants to improve voice quality during phone calls with it. This has audibly worked, we note during our conversations, you no longer have to hold your arm in front of your face to make a call.

Wristbands still fit

But what fits right away from the old days are the wristbands . These are as expensive as ever at Apple, the sports wristband (silicone), the Nike wristband and the Sportloop made of woven nylon cost 59 euros each, the leather wristbands and the Milanaise 159 euros. The link bracelet is available for 499 euro. Hermes bracelets cost 369, 469, 519 and 569 euros in their different versions. Fall 2018 sees a return to more muted colors, with Apple introducing Cape Cod Blue, Indigo, Hibiscus and Nectarine tones for silicone, leather and nylon, respectively.

With the unveiling of the Apple Watch Series 7, Apple has destroyed the leaker scene. We’ll try a look ahead anyway.

2021/22

The Apple Watch Series 8 will replace the current Apple Watch Series 7 in Apple’s portfolio. After Apple proved the biggest leakers wrong last fall and unveiled an even rounder smartwatch instead of a flattened one, there’s really no telling what to expect from the Series 8 now. Traditionally, rumors about the Apple Watch are much rarer than, for example, about the upcoming iPhone: the Watch interests fewer users, also fewer suppliers are brought to it, which is much easier to control in terms of leaked information. However, the Apple Watch has been on the market for almost six years, so we can identify a few trends.

Tick-Tock

No, Apple will not bring a native social media app to the Watch, with tick-tock cycle usually refers to a development in design or technology that alternates jumps like hands on the watch. It looks like Apple is also applying the tick-tock cycle to the Apple Watch, at least since the Series 3. For example, the manufacturer uses the odd Series sequence numbers to change something about the basic equipment. So it was with the Apple Watch 3 with its LTE capability and the Series 5 with its always-on display. The even serial numbers turn out to be much more exciting: with the Series 4 came the new larger display and the ECG measurement, with the Series 6 the blood oxygen sensor. The Series 7 innovations join the Tock series: the bigger screen and faster charging are more of a staple, which is why it’s not unlikely that Apple is planning something bigger with the Series 8, i.e. the Tick Watch.

Health sensors

Apple has also made a name for itself as a health provider in recent years with its Apple Watch, so it’s exciting to see exactly what health sensors we can expect to see in the Apple Watch Series 8.

Blood glucose sensor

Apple has been researching non-invasive blood glucose measurement for years, but with each new Apple Watch, users have had to wait even longer. Currently, we are not aware of any wearable on the market that measures blood glucose non-invasively. Every so often, a startup pops up claiming to be able to measure blood sugar without a prick, and even offer working prototypes in the next few months, but the claims can’t stand up to scrutiny over time. Latest examples: Quantum Operations , Medisana has offered a short time since 2019 a blood glucose watch GlucoWatch connect. Gluco Watch G2 Biographer was even in 2005 already on the market , to disappear again. Speculation about blood glucose sensors in Samsung or Apple smartwatches proved unfounded time and again. German supplier Diamontech promises a market-ready Wearble technology by 2024 , Apple’s supplier Rockley announced in the summer to sell bio-sensors for measuring various biomarkers. They are not expected to be ready for delivery to customers until the second half of 2022.

From this list of more or less justified promises, the UK company Rockley Photonics stands out the most: according to its own information, the developer has been able to win as its customers five largest wearables manufacturers, which means that the company has convinced with its technology not only Apple, but Samsung, Xiaomi, Huawei. In addition, there are the first steps in the cooperation with Mount Sinai Clinic in New York , which will use Rockley Photonics’ products in monitoring patients. This indicates that the company has at least some prototypes that can be used in the study. But even with an optimistic calculation, that technology won’t make it into the Apple Watch Series 8: Apple is putting several months of lead time into producing its devices. The upcoming iPhones 14 and probably a few weeks later the Apple Watch 8 will be decided in early 2022. Short-term changes weeks before the launch, as Jon Prosser most recently claimed , are simply not possible for products with millions manufactured. More realistic would be the next-but-one generation Apple Watch Series 9 from 2023.

Temperature sensor

The well-informed journalists at Bloomberg claimed as recently as this summer that Apple was planning to include a temperature sensor for the watch after next, i.e. the Apple Watch 8. This seems much more plausible, because there are already some devices on the market that allow continuous temperature measurement, Fitbit Sense and Oura ring . But the temperature measurement in the current wearables has its drawbacks: For one thing, it measures the temperature of the extremities due to the way it is worn, but this differs from the body temperature and also fluctuates more significantly throughout the day. In addition, both devices measure only the deviations from a so-called base temperature, which is recorded beforehand on a few days or rather nights. This representation of relative values means that a practical comparison with a commercially available thermometer is not possible.

The temperature sensor in the upcoming Apple Watch seems more realistic than any of the other rumored innovations. For one, Apple would have added an additional health sensor again, which may increase buying appeal for the next generation. For another, the technology isn’t as utopian as the non-invasive blood sugar sensor.

Design

The biggest question with the upcoming Apple Watch remains the design. Much excitement has been generated by renders from last spring and summer that showed a square Apple Watch. Rumors suggested that the Series 7 would follow the design language of the iPhone 12 and newer, but contrary to expectations, the watch has become even rounder than before. Meanwhile, there are new leaks that claim the upcoming Apple Watch will be no different from the Series 7. We think these hints are much more likely than a flattened design: Apple is sticking with the design for its products for several generations. Moreover, this is change for change’s sake, at the moment it’s not clear what problems a flattened version of the watch is supposed to solve. We’re not sure if comfort suffers a bit with an angular version. While there may very well be square watches on the market, they are significantly flatter than the current smartwatches. Considering that all the journo’s have been complaining about the lack of a round Apple Watch for years, the enthusiasm and subsequent disappointment is somewhat incomprehensible.

But without changes, the Apple Watch 8 will probably not remain. Well-informed display expert Ross Young has predicted that Apple is planning a third display size for its Watch. The Watch can hardly get smaller, bigger is more likely. So it is quite likely that a special edition Watch Series 8 will appear with the display size of 49 mm. This additional size would have further implications: Apple will certainly place a larger battery in it. Believe it or not, Apple has improved the battery and especially the battery management in the past generations of the Apple Watch, but these improvements were not so jumpy as to be announced on stage. Thus, the manufacturer has invested these additional energy resources elsewhere: Always-On display, blood oxygen measurement at night, sound detection, etc. If you imagine that with the next generation of the Watch, Apple will work even further on the efficiency of the battery or. Of the processors works, after all, a Watch processor based on iPhone 13 or newer is to come, and they are already incredibly economical. Along with a larger battery in the largest Apple Watch, this could be enough for an Extreme or Special model, which has been rumored for some time and is expected to appeal to athletes with its long battery life and ruggedness .

Independent

These changes come insidiously, mentioned in a passing sentence, but they are important to the watch’s evolution. We would like to see a bit easier update procedure with the next WatchOS 9 and the next generation, possibly decoupled from the iPhone. Because even after seven generations of the watch, you first have to load the update on the paired iPhone, place the watch on the charging disc and only after 50 percent charged battery, the smartphone transfers the new operating system version to the watch. It’s very cumbersome, because linked to several conditions, and slow. We wish for proper over-the-air updates of watchOS 9 directly to the watch, alright, still with the charging disc, but without additional download to the iPhone.

5G

iPhone since 12 and the newer iPads already support the fifth mobile generation 5G, there were rumors in past years that Apple with Series 7 or even Series 6 immediately offers the 5G support, but so far nothing came of it. So it’s high time that the upcoming Series 8 gets the 5G addition.
