Semi-Supervised Recursive Autoencoder

In this project, we implement the semi-supervised Recursive Autoencoders (RAE), and achieve the result comparable with result in [1] on the Movie Review Polarity dataset1. We achieve 76.08% accuracy, which is slightly lower than [1] ’s result 76.8%, with less vector length. Experiments show that the model can learn sentiment and build reasonable structure from sentence.We find longer word vector and adjustment of words’ meaning vector is beneficial, while normalization of transfer function brings some improvement. We also find normalization of the input word vector may be beneficial for training.

Impact of chronic kidney disease on quality of life, lung function, and functional capacity.

OBJECTIVES
To evaluate the impact of the chronic kidney disease (CKD) on quality of life, from the children's and their parents' perspective, respiratory muscle strength, lung function, and functional capacity in children and adolescents.


METHOD
Cross-sectional study of children with CKD aged 8 to 17 years. Those incapable of taking the tests were excluded. After an interview, quality of life by Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory) (PedsQL(TM)), muscular strength, pulmonary function tests, and the 6-minute walking test (6MWT) were applied. Student's t-test, ANOVA (difference in means), and Pearson's coefficient of correlation were used. The level of significance was set at 5%.


RESULTS
Of the 40 patients, the mean distance walked at the 6MWT was 396 meters, and the mean final score at the quality of life test as perceived by the children and parents was 50.9 and 51, respectively. From the children's perspective, the transplanted patients had a higher quality of life score when compared to those undergoing hemodialysis (p<0.001); those who practiced physical activity had better quality of life when compared to the sedentary children (p<0.001). From the children's and the parents' perspectives, the male gender had a higher quality of life score (p<0.05). There was a positive correlation between the distance walked at the 6MWT and age, height, final PedsQL(TM), forced vital capacity (FVC), and forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1), as well as a negative correlation between FEV1/FVC and the distance walked.


CONCLUSION
A significant reduction in the quality of life and the functional capacity was observed in children with CKD, influenced by the type of treatment, gender, and sedentary life style.
Mined-Knowledge and Decision Support Services in Electronic Health

Large organizations in various information domains are constantly facing the challenges of growing size, new business requirements, and customer demands for service agility. As an example, in the healthcare domain provision of unique electronic health record systems (EHR) for patient identification and health history, integration of regional systems into a nation-wide system, information and service sharing, and security and privacy of patient data have generated a set of new challenges. Canada Health Infoway has proposed an information infrastructure for networked healthcare systems that is based on service oriented architecture (SOA) and provides standards for sharing data and services. In this paper, we investigate the provision of mined-knowledge (results of data mining on patient data), clinical decision support systems, and network visualization and monitoring through SOA. We also address the advantages of SOA implementation using an enterprise service bus in order to accommodate these services. Such services can benefit similar domains such as banking, communications, air traffic control, and transportation.
The validity of consumer-level, activity monitors in healthy adults worn in free-living conditions: a cross-sectional study

BACKGROUND
Technological advances have seen a burgeoning industry for accelerometer-based wearable activity monitors targeted at the consumer market. The purpose of this study was to determine the convergent validity of a selection of consumer-level accelerometer-based activity monitors.


METHODS
21 healthy adults wore seven consumer-level activity monitors (Fitbit One, Fitbit Zip, Jawbone UP, Misfit Shine, Nike Fuelband, Striiv Smart Pedometer and Withings Pulse) and two research-grade accelerometers/multi-sensor devices (BodyMedia SenseWear, and ActiGraph GT3X+) for 48-hours. Participants went about their daily life in free-living conditions during data collection. The validity of the consumer-level activity monitors relative to the research devices for step count, moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA), sleep and total daily energy expenditure (TDEE) was quantified using Bland-Altman analysis, median absolute difference and Pearson's correlation.


RESULTS
All consumer-level activity monitors correlated strongly (r > 0.8) with research-grade devices for step count and sleep time, but only moderately-to-strongly for TDEE (r = 0.74-0.81) and MVPA (r = 0.52-0.91). Median absolute differences were generally modest for sleep and steps (<10% of research device mean values for the majority of devices) moderate for TDEE (<30% of research device mean values), and large for MVPA (26-298%). Across the constructs examined, the Fitbit One, Fitbit Zip and Withings Pulse performed most strongly.


CONCLUSIONS
In free-living conditions, the consumer-level activity monitors showed strong validity for the measurement of steps and sleep duration, and moderate valid for measurement of TDEE and MVPA. Validity for each construct ranged widely between devices, with the Fitbit One, Fitbit Zip and Withings Pulse being the strongest performers.
Long-term benefit-risk balance of drug-eluting vs. bare-metal stents in daily practice: does stent diameter matter? Three-year follow-up of BASKET.

AIMS
To assess the long-term benefit-risk ratio of drug-eluting (DES) vs. bare-metal stents (BMS) relative to stent size.


METHODS AND RESULTS
All 826 consecutive BASKET (BAsel Stent Kosten-Effektivitäts Trial) patients randomized 2:1 to DES vs. BMS were followed after 3 years. Data were analysed separately for patients with small stents (<3.0 mm vessel/<4.0 mm bypass grafts, n = 268) vs. only large stents (> or =3.0 mm native vessels, n = 558). Clinical events were related to stent thrombosis. Three-year clinical target-vessel revascularization rates remained borderline reduced after DES [9.9 vs. 13.9% (BMS), P = 0.07], particularly in patients with small stents (10.7 vs. 19.8%, P = 0.03; large stents: 9.5 vs. 11.5%, P = 0.44). Cardiac death/myocardial infarction (MI) rates (12.7 vs. 10.0%, P = 0.30) were similar, however, death/MI beyond 6 months was higher after DES [9.1 vs. 3.8% (BMS), P = 0.009], mainly due to increased late death/MI in patients with large stents (9.7 vs. 3.1%, P = 0.006). The results paralleled findings for stent thrombosis.


CONCLUSION
The clinical benefit of DES was maintained at no overall increased risk of death or death/MI up to 3 years. However, death/MI rates were increased in DES vs. BMS patients beyond 6 months, particularly in patients with large stents, paralleling findings for stent thrombosis. Thus, stent size seems to influence the 3-year benefit-risk ratio after DES implantation.
Tangible augmented reality

This paper advocates a new metaphor for designing threedimensional Augmented Reality (AR) applications, Tangible Augmented Reality (Tangible AR). Tangible AR interfaces combine the enhanced display possibilities of AR with the intuitive manipulation and interaction of physical objects or Tangible User Interfaces. We define what Tangible AR interfaces are, present some design guidelines and prototype interfaces based on these guidelines. Experiences with these interfaces show that the Tangible AR metaphor supports seamless interaction between the real and virtual worlds, and provides a range of natural interactions that are difficult to find in other AR interfaces.

Bovine aortic arch: predictor of entry site and risk factor for neurologic injury in acute type a dissection.

BACKGROUND
The aim of this study was to evaluate if the presence of a bovine aortic arch (BAA)- the most common aortic arch anomaly-influences the location of the primary entry tear, the surgical procedure, and the outcome of patients undergoing operation for type A acute aortic dissection (AAD).


METHODS
A total of 157 patients underwent emergency operations because of AAD (71% men, mean age 59.5 ± 13 years). Preoperative computed tomographic scans were screened for the presence of BAA. Patients were separated into 2 groups: presenting with BAA (BAA+, n = 22) or not (BAA-, n = 135). Location of the primary tear, surgical treatment, outcome, and risk factors for postoperative neurologic injury and in-hospital mortality were analyzed.


RESULTS
Fourteen percent (22 of 157) of all patients operated on for AAD had a concomitant BAA. Location of the primary entry tear was predominantly in the aortic arch in patients with BAA (BAA+, 59.1% versus BAA-, 13.3%; p < 0.001). Multivariate analysis revealed the presence of a BAA to be an independent risk factor for having the primary tear in the aortic arch (odds ratio [OR], 14.79; 95% confidence interval [CI] 4.54-48.13; p < 0.001) but not for in-hospital mortality. Patients with BAA had a higher rate of postoperative neurologic injury (BAA+, 35% versus BAA-, 7.9%; p = 0.004). Multivariate analysis identified the presence of BAA as an independent risk factor for postoperative neurologic injury (OR, 4.9; 95% CI, 1.635-14.734; p = 0.005).


CONCLUSIONS
In type A AAD, the presence of a BAA predicts the location of the primary entry site in the aortic arch and is an independent risk factor for a poor neurologic outcome.
Access to emergency and surgical care in sub-Saharan Africa: the infrastructure gap.

BACKGROUND
The effort to increase access to emergency and surgical care in low-income countries has received global attention. While most of the literature on this issue focuses on workforce challenges, it is critical to recognize infrastructure gaps that hinder the ability of health systems to make emergency and surgical care a reality.


METHODS
This study reviews key barriers to the provision of emergency and surgical care in sub-Saharan Africa using aggregate data from the Service Provision Assessments and Demographic and Health Surveys of five countries: Ghana, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda. For hospitals and health centres, competency was assessed in six areas: basic infrastructure, equipment, medicine storage, infection control, education and quality control. Percentage of compliant facilities in each country was calculated for each of the six areas to facilitate comparison of hospitals and health centres across the five countries.


RESULTS
The percentage of hospitals with dependable running water and electricity ranged from 22% to 46%. In countries analysed, only 19-50% of hospitals had the ability to provide 24-hour emergency care. For storage of medication, only 18% to 41% of facilities had unexpired drugs and current inventories. Availability of supplies to control infection and safely dispose of hazardous waste was generally poor (less than 50%) across all facilities. As few as 14% of hospitals (and as high as 76%) among those surveyed had training and supervision in place.


CONCLUSIONS
No surveyed hospital had enough infrastructure to follow minimum standards and practices that the World Health Organization has deemed essential for the provision of emergency and surgical care. The countries where these hospitals are located may be representative of other low-income countries in sub-Saharan Africa. Thus, the results suggest that increased attention to building up the infrastructure within struggling health systems is necessary for improvements in global access to medical care.
A systematic review identifies five "red flags" to screen for vertebral fracture in patients with low back pain.

OBJECTIVE
To determine the accuracy of clinical features in diagnosing vertebral fracture in low back pain patients and assess the psychometric properties of the Quality Assessment of Studies of Diagnostic Accuracy Included in Systematic Reviews (QUADAS) scale.


STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING
A diagnostic systematic review was performed on all available records in MEDLINE, CINAHL, and EMBASE. Studies were considered eligible if they investigated clinical features associated with vertebral fracture in a cohort of low back pain patients. All eligible studies were assessed for methodological quality using the QUADAS scale, and two authors extracted true-positive, true-negative, false-positive, and false-negative data for each clinical feature.


RESULTS
Twelve studies were identified by the review, investigating 51 clinical features. Five clinical features were useful to raise or lower the probability of vertebral fracture: age>50 years (likelihood ratio [LR]+=2.2, LR-=0.34), female gender (LR+=2.3, LR-=0.67), major trauma (LR+=12.8, LR-=0.37), pain and tenderness (LR+=6.7, LR-=0.44), and a distracting painful injury (LR+=1.7, LR-=0.78). The QUADAS had low internal consistency, and only three items had high inter-rater reliability. There was inadequate reporting of many methodological quality items.


CONCLUSION
Five clinical features were identified that can be used to screen for vertebral fracture. The psychometric properties of the QUADAS scale raise concerns about its use to rate the quality of low back pain diagnosis studies.

The dynamic interaction of AMBRA1 with the dynein motor complex regulates mammalian autophagy

Autophagy is an evolutionary conserved catabolic process involved in several physiological and pathological processes such as cancer and neurodegeneration. Autophagy initiation signaling requires both the ULK1 kinase and the BECLIN 1-VPS34 core complex to generate autophagosomes, double-membraned vesicles that transfer cellular contents to lysosomes. In this study, we show that the BECLIN 1-VPS34 complex is tethered to the cytoskeleton through an interaction between the BECLIN 1-interacting protein AMBRA1 and dynein light chains 1/2. When autophagy is induced, ULK1 phosphorylates AMBRA1, releasing the autophagy core complex from dynein. Its subsequent relocalization to the endoplasmic reticulum enables autophagosome nucleation. Therefore, AMBRA1 constitutes a direct regulatory link between ULK1 and BECLIN 1-VPS34, which is required for core complex positioning and activity within the cell. Moreover, our results demonstrate that in addition to a function for microtubules in mediating autophagosome transport, there is a strict and regulatory relationship between cytoskeleton dynamics and autophagosome formation.
Defect Prediction on a Legacy Industrial Software: A Case Study on Software with Few Defects

Context: Building defect prediction models for software projects is helpful for reducing the effort in locating defects. In this paper, we share our experiences in building a defect prediction model for a large industrial software project. We extract product and process metrics to build models and show that we can build an accurate defect prediction model even when 4% of the software is defective.
 Objective: Our goal in this project is to integrate a defect predictor into the continuous integration (CI) cycle of a large software project and decrease the effort in testing.
 Method: We present our approach in the form of an experience report. Specifically, we collected data from seven older versions of the software project and used additional features to predict defects of current versions. We compared several classification techniques including Naive Bayes, Decision Trees, and Random Forest and resampled our training data to present the company with the most accurate defect predictor.
 Results: Our results indicate that we can focus testing efforts by guiding the test team to only 8% of the software where 53% of actual defects can be found. Our model has 90% accuracy.
 Conclusion: We produce a defect prediction model with high accuracy for a software with defect rate of 4%. Our model uses Random Forest, that which we show has more predictive power than Naive Bayes, Logistic Regression and Decision Trees in our case.

Relationships among school climate domains and school satisfaction

This study investigated the magnitude of the relationships between eight school climate domains and a measure of global school satisfaction among 2,049 middle and high school students. Tests of moderator effects were conducted to determine if the magnitude of the relationships between the school climate domains and school satisfaction differed as a function of students’ gender, grade, age, GPA, or SES. Multiple regression analyses suggested that five school climate domains are significantly related to school satisfaction (p < .01): Academic Support (beta weight = 0.17), Positive Student-Teacher Relationships (0.12), School Connectedness (0.11), Order and Discipline (0.13), and Academic Satisfaction (0.12). In addition, the importance of the school climate variables to students’ school satisfaction appeared invariant across the demographic variables and academic performance levels. The inclusion of school climate and school satisfaction measures may form a foundation for more comprehensive assessments for understanding and monitoring the experiences of students in schools.
