Using data mining to improve assessment of credit worthiness via credit scoring models

Credit scoring model have been developed by banks and researchers to improve the process of assessing credit worthiness during the credit evaluation process. The objective of credit scoring models is to assign credit risk to either a ‘‘good risk’’ group that is likely to repay financial obligation or a ‘‘bad risk’’ group who has high possibility of defaulting on the financial obligation. Construction of credit scoring models requires data mining techniques. Using historical data on payments, demographic characteristics and statistical techniques, credit scoring models can help identify the important demographic characteristics related to credit risk and provide a score for each customer. This paper illustrates using data mining to improve assessment of credit worthiness using credit scoring models. Due to privacy concerns and unavailability of real financial data from banks this study applies the credit scoring techniques using data of payment history of members from a recreational club. The club has been facing a problem of rising number in defaulters in their monthly club subscription payments. The management would like to have a model which they can deploy to identify potential defaulters. The classification performance of credit scorecard model, logistic regression model and decision tree model were compared. The classification error rates for credit scorecard model, logistic regression and decision tree were 27.9%, 28.8% and 28.1%, respectively. Although no model outperforms the other, scorecards are relatively much easier to deploy in practical applications. 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Surface chemistry and aspect ratio mediated cellular uptake of Au nanorods.

Gold nanorods (Au NRs) have been recognized as promising materials for biomedical applications, like sensing, imaging, gene and drug delivery and therapy, but their toxicological issues are still controversial, especially for the Au NRs synthesized with seed-mediated method. In this study, we investigated the influence of aspect ratio and surface coating on their toxicity and cellular uptake. The cellular uptake is highly dependent on the aspect ratio and surface coating. However, the surface chemistry has the dominant roles since PDDAC-coated Au NRs exhibit a much greater ability to be internalized by the cells. The present data demonstrated shape-independent but coating-dependent cytotoxicity. Both the CTAB molecules left in the suspended solution and on the surface of Au NRs were identified as the actual cause of cytotoxicity. CTAB can enter cells with or without Au NRs, damage mitochondria, and then induce apoptosis. The effects of surface coating upon toxicity and cellular uptake were also examined using Au NRs with different coatings. When Au NRs were added into the medium, the proteins were quickly adsorbed onto the Au NRs that made the surface negatively charged. The surface charge may not directly affect the cellular uptake. We further demonstrated that the amount of serum proteins, especially for BSA, adsorbed on the Au NRs had a positive correlation with the capacity of Au NRs to enter cells. In addition, we have successfully revealed that the cationic PDDAC-coated Au NRs with an aspect ratio of 4 possess an ideal combination of both negligible toxicity and high cellular uptake efficiency, showing a great promise as photothermal therapeutic agents.
Evaluation of auditory functions in patients with asthma.

OBJECTIVE
The objective of this study is to evaluate the auditory functions in chronic asthma patients with the use of pure tone high frequency audiometry.


PATIENTS AND METHODS
Twenty-two healthy controls and 42 adult patients were included as a prospective, randomized, and controlled study. Pulmonary function tests and blood gas studies were completed on all subjects. Asthma patients have divided into two groups [Group A: Arterial oxygen tension (PaO2) > 75 mmHg, Group B: PaO2 ≤ 75 mmHg, Group C: Control group). Acoustic assessments of patients were performed in 250-20,000 Hz by using pure-tone audiometry (PTA) and tympanometry.


RESULTS
The mean value of air and bone conduction hearing threshold levels were in normal range for all groups. All patients had normal peripheral hearing all threshold levels across 250 Hz to 3000 Hz in the both ears. Significant differences were observed between the chronic asthma patients and control group for the extended high frequencies (10,000-20,000 Hz). Group B had statistically more significant increased hearing threshold levels than Group A in frequencies higher than 10,000 Hz. There were no statistical differences between the hearing threshold levels and FEV1, FVC, FEV1/FVC and tympanogram results in the groups.


CONCLUSIONS
This is the first study of evaluating the auditory functions in asthma patients. Sensorineural hearing loss in high frequencies (10,000 Hz-20,000 Hz) is common in chronic asthma and is probably present more often than were formerly thought.
Electrical properties of hydroxyapatite thin films grown by pulsed laser deposition

Abstract The formation of bioceramic hydroxyapatite (HAp) thin films has been accomplished on various substrates, such as Ti, α -Al 2 O 3 , SiO 2 //Si(100) and SrTiO 3 (100) using an ArF pulsed laser deposition. The surface morphology of the HAp films was also examined using an atomic force microscope. Au/HAp/Nb doped SrTiO 3 (100) structures have been fabricated to measure the electrical properties of the HAp films, and the dielectric constant and breakdown voltage at 25 °C are 5.7 (at 1 MHz) and 10 4 V cm −1 , respectively. From our results, it is suggested that the HAp films are useful not only as a biocompatible coating material for implantation but also for insulating and dielectric materials used in electric circuits and bio-electronic devices.
Towards a system of open cities in China: Home prices, FDI flows and air quality in 35 major cities

Over the last thirty years, China's major cities have experienced significant income and population growth. Much of this growth has been fueled by urban production spurred by world demand. Using a unique cross-city panel data set, we test several hypotheses concerning the relationship between home prices, wages, foreign direct investment and ambient air pollution across major Chinese cities. Home prices are lower in cities with higher ambient pollution levels. Cities featuring higher per-capita FDI flows have lower pollution levels.

Differential impact of five coronary devices on plaque size: insights from the ABSORB and SPIRIT trials.

BACKGROUND
Coronary plaque size modification, by either local (device) or systemic treatments, has been the target for many years.


METHODS
From ABSORB Cohort A (Absorb BVS 1.0), ABSORB Cohort B (Absorb BVS 1.1), SPIRIT FIRST (Multi-Link Vision vs. Xience V) & SPIRIT II (Xience V vs. Taxus), we calculated the total plaque area (vessel minus lumen area - thus it comprises both compartments - the plaque behind struts and the neointima.) changes by IVUS.


RESULTS
A total of 313 patients were included. Comparison-at-6-month follow-up: All devices induced an increase in the total plaque area. The largest increase occurred with Vision and Taxus stents as compared to other devices [Absorb BVS (1.0 and 1.1) and Xience V], (p=0.0002). Comparison-at-2-year follow-up: Absorb BVS 1.1 had a larger increase from post procedure in total plaque compared to Absorb BVS 1.0, Xience V and Taxus (p=0.0499). However, in Absorb BVS 1.1 total plaque showed a reduction of 2.2% from 1 to 3 years. Specifically, the total plaque in the sequential cohorts of Absorb BVS 1.1 increased 16.2% from baseline to 2 years (Cohort B1) while at 3 years this increase is only 5% compared to baseline (Cohort B2).


CONCLUSIONS
Local devices affect coronary plaque size differently and it depends on the platform (metallic vs. polymeric) and on whether it is a bare - or drug eluting stent. Coronary scaffolds appear to be a promising alternative to metallic stents since they allow plaque regression at long-term follow-up.
Combination of dynamic geometry, algebra and calculus in the software system GeoGebra

Dynamic geometry and computer algebra systems have highly influenced mathematics education. Unfortunately, these tools have been totally unconnected. GeoGebra is a new software system that integrates possibilities of both dynamic geometry and computer algebra in one tool for mathematics education. ZDM classification: R 20, U 70
Clinical, environmental, and genetic determinants of multiple sclerosis in children with acute demyelination: a prospective national cohort study

BACKGROUND
HLA-DRB1*15 genotype, previous infection with Epstein-Barr virus, and vitamin D insufficiency are susceptibility factors for multiple sclerosis, but whether they act synergistically to increase risk is unknown. We aimed to assess the contributions of these risk factors and the effect of established precursors of multiple sclerosis, such as brain lesions on MRI and oligoclonal bands in CSF at the time of incident demyelination, on development of multiple sclerosis in children.


METHODS
In our prospective national cohort study, we assessed children who presented with incident CNS demyelination to any of the 16 paediatric health-care facilities or seven regional health-care facilities in Canada. We did univariate and multivariable analyses to assess contributions of HLA-DRB1*15, Epstein-Barr virus, vitamin D status, MRI evidence of brain lesions, and CSF oligoclonal bands as determinants of multiple sclerosis. We used classification and regression tree analyses to generate a risk stratification algorithm for clinical use.


FINDINGS
Between Sept 1, 2004, and June 30, 2010, we screened 332 children of whom 302 (91%) were eligible and followed-up for a median of 3·14 years (IQR 1·61-4·51). 63 (21%) children were diagnosed with multiple sclerosis after a median of 127 days (99-222). Although the risk of multiple sclerosis was increased with presence of one or more HLA-DRB1*15 alleles (hazard ratio [HR] 2·32, 95% CI 1·25-4·30), reduced serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentration (HR per 10 nmol/L decrease 1·11, 1·00-1·25), and previous Epstein-Barr-virus infection (HR 2·04, 0·99-4·20), no interactions between these variables were detected on multivariate analysis. Multiple sclerosis was strongly associated with baseline MRI evidence of one or more brain lesion (HR 37·9, 5·26-273·85) or CSF oligoclonal bands (6·33, 3·35-11·96), suggesting established disease. One patient diagnosed with multiple sclerosis had a normal MRI scan, and therefore sensitivity of an abnormal MRI scan for multiple sclerosis diagnosis was 98·4%.


INTERPRETATION
Risk of multiple sclerosis in children can be stratified by presence of HLA-DRB1*15 alleles, remote Epstein-Barr virus infection, and low serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations. Similar to previous studies in adults, brain lesions detected on MRI and CSF oligoclonal bands in children are probable precursors to the clinical onset of multiple sclerosis. Children with a normal MRI are very likely to have a monophasic illness.

Optimal interdiction of attack plans

We present a Stackelberg game model of security in which the defender chooses a mitigation strategy that interdicts potential attack actions, and the attacker responds by computing an optimal attack plan that circumvents the deployed mitigations. First, we offer a general formulation for deterministic plan interdiction as a mixed-integer program, and use constraint generation to compute optimal solutions, leveraging state-of-the-art partial satisfaction planning techniques. We also present a greedy heuristic for this problem, and compare its performance with the optimal MILP-based approach. We then extend our framework to incorporate uncertainty about attacker’s capabilities, costs, goals, and action execution uncertainty, and show that these extensions retain the basic structure of the deterministic plan interdiction problem. Introduction of more general models of planning uncertainty require us to model the attacker’s problem as a general MDP, and demonstrate that the MDP interdiction problem can still be solved using the basic constraint generation framework.
An empirical study on applying data mining techniques for the analysis and prediction of heart disease

The health care environment is found to be rich in information, but poor in extracting knowledge from the information. This is because of the lack of effective analysis tool to discover hidden relationships and trends in them. By applying the data mining techniques, valuable knowledge can be extracted from the health care system. Heart disease is a group of condition affecting the structure and functions of heart and has many root causes. Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the world over past ten years. Researches have been made with many hybrid techniques for diagnosing heart disease. This paper deals with an overall review of application of data mining in heart disease prediction.
Meropenem versus ceftazidime as empirical monotherapy for febrile neutropenic cancer patients

 A total of 101 cancer patients with 121 febrile neutropenia episodes were randomised to receive empirical treatment with i.v. meropenem (1 g/8 h) or ceftazidime (2 g/8 h). After 3 days, 89% of patients were on unmodified therapy in the meropenem group, compared with 83% in the ceftazidime group. Of the evaluable episodes (n=106), the success rate with unmodified empirical therapy until the end of the treatment course was slightly higher with meropenem than with ceftazidime (48% vs 38%, P=0.39). Furthermore, initial success with further infections was observed in 22% of episodes treated with meropenem and in 13% of episodes treated with ceftazidime. Glycopeptides were used as first modification in 28% and 39% of meropenem and ceftazidime recipients, respectively. Both treatments were well tolerated and there were no reports of drug-related nausea/vomiting or seizures. No significant differences in response rate or in tolerability were observed when analysing only the first febrile episodes. In conclusion, meropenem seems to be as efficacious and well tolerated as ceftazidime and may be associated with a lesser requirement for the addition of glycopeptides.
Alcohol Consumption and Mortality in the Korean Multi-center Cancer Cohort Study

OBJECTIVES
To examine the association between alcohol consumption habit, types of beverages, alcohol consumption quantity, and overall and cancer-specific mortality among Korean adults.


METHODS
The alcohol consumption information of a total of 16 320 participants who were 20 years or older from the Korean Multi-center Cancer Cohort were analyzed to examine the association between alcohol consumption habit and mortality (median follow-up of 9.3 years). The Cox proportional hazard model was used to estimate the hazard ratio (HR) of alcohol consumption to mortality adjusting for age, sex, geographic areas, education, smoking status, and body mass index.


RESULTS
Alcohol drinkers showed an increased risk for total mortality compared with never drinkers (HR, 1.72; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.38 to 2.14 for past drinkers; HR, 1.21; 95% CI, 1.06 to 1.39 for current drinkers), while past drinkers only were associated with higher risk for cancer deaths (HR, 1.84; 95% CI, 1.34 to 2.53). The quantity of alcohol consumed per week showed a J-shaped association with risk of mortality. Relative to light drinkers (0.01 to 90 g/wk), never drinkers and heavy drinkers (>504 g/wk) had an increased risk for all-cause and cancer deaths: (HR, 1.18; 95% CI, 0.96 to 1.45) and (HR, 1.39; 95% CI, 1.05 to 1.83) for all-cause mortality; and (HR, 1.55; 95% CI, 1.15 to 2.11) and (HR, 2.07; 95% CI, 1.39 to 3.09) for all cancer mortality, respectively. Heavy drinkers (>504 g/wk) showed an elevated risk for death from stomach and liver cancers.


CONCLUSIONS
The present study supports the existence of a J-shaped association between alcohol consumption quantity and the risk of all-cause and cancer deaths. Heavy drinkers had an increased risk of death from cancer overall and liver and stomach cancer.
Childhood-onset multiple sclerosis: report of 82 patients from Isfahan, Iran.

BACKGROUND
Although multiple sclerosis is considered as an inflammatory demyelinating disease of young adults, nearly 3% of patients manifest it under the age of 16 years. The aim of this study was to highlight the clinical and demographic features of early-onset multiple sclerosis in Isfahan, Iran.


METHODS
This prospective study concerned multiple sclerosis patients in whom the disease started before the age of 16 years and who were referred to the only clinic of multiple sclerosis in Isfahan from October 1997 through February 2003. All early-onset multiple sclerosis patients underwent magnetic resonance imaging. Magnetic resonance imaging findings were analyzed according to the Barkhof's criteria. All early-onset multiple sclerosis patients were followed for a mean period of 4.7 years.


RESULTS
Among 1,238 multiple sclerosis patients, 82 early-onset multiple sclerosis patients were identified. The female to male ratio was 4.5:1. The mean age of onset was 14.1 (range: 5 to 16) years. In 53 (65%) patients, the onset was monosymptomatic; in the remaining 29 (35%), it was polysymptomatic. Sixty-four (78%) patients presented a relapsing-remitting course, 14 (17%) had a secondary-progressive and 4 (5%) had a primary-progressive course. At the last evaluation, the expanded disability status scale score was > or =6 in only 8 (10%) patients. According to Barkhof's criteria, the characteristic magnetic resonance imaging findings were observed in 80 (98%) of early-onset multiple sclerosis patients.


CONCLUSION
In our study, a high rate of childhood multiple sclerosis was observed that may be because of geographical or ethnic differences. Our study also showed that Barkhof's criteria, which is mostly used in adult patients, could be also applied to early-onset multiple sclerosis cases.
Creativity and innovation for corporate happiness management

In the system in which we are currently inserted, happiness and work seem to be completely exclusive words and without any possibility of association. The following study intends to show that it is possible to find a balance between happiness and work (Csikszentmihalyi in Gestão qualificada: a conexão entre felicidade e negócio, Bookman, Porto Alegre, 2004), by diagnosing the level of happiness shown by people in their working environment’s, proposing solutions to enhance happiness and productive in certain enterprise’s staff (Tidd and Bessant in Innovation and entrepreneurship, Wiley, London, 2007; Gestão da Inovação, Bookman, Porto Alegre, 2008). It is necessary, hence, an analysis beyond the happy-unhappy dichotomy when observing the different happiness levels presented in the routine and in the working hours, based on the interactions between creativity and innovation (Amabile in KEYS to creativity and innovation: user’s guide, Center For Creative Leadership, Greensboro, 2010; Sawyer in Explaining creativity: the science of human innovation, 2nd edn, Oxford University Press, Cambridge, 2012; West and Richter in Handbook of organizational creativity, 1st edn, Taylor and Francis, New York, 2008). Furthermore, this article shows that it is essential to combine the present’s happiness to a long-term project, an optimistic vision for the future (James and Drown in Handbook of organizational creativity, 1st edn, Elsevier, San Diego, 2012). To evaluate the work and a person’s life, this article develops a Multi Criteria Model of Work Organization and Evaluation and a Map of the Corporate Happiness Levels as a conscious path through workplace, collaboration in the enterprise, the marketplace and society, up to the personal and social life of a subject (Kamel in Artesão da minha própria felicidade, 1st edn. E-papers Serviços Editoriais Ltda, Rio de Janeiro, 2007). It offers ten practical recommendations to raise corporation rates of happiness. Accordingly, this paper proves its relevance by offering reference material to professionals and enterprises who search changes in its current personal management policy, willing to move towards a society with increasingly fulfilled professionals, happy and productive in their own employment.
