Generación automática de resúmenes con apoyo en ontologías aplicada al dominio Biomédico

En esta memoria de tesis se propone una arquitectura para la generacion de resumenes informativos monodocumento en un dominio especifico: la biomedicina. La utilidad de estos resumenes es indudable, en un campo en el que los profesionales han de estar continuamente al corriente de los nuevos avances cientificos, pero a la vez necesitan economizar el tiempo que dedican a su formacion. A lo largo de la exposicion, se presenta un metodo de extraccion de oraciones, basado en la teoria de redes complejas, que realiza un mapeo del texto a los conceptos de la ontologia UMLS, y representa el documento y las oraciones como grafos. La seleccion de las oraciones se realiza a partir del grado de conexion de sus conceptos en el grafo del documento, utilizando para ello un algoritmo de agrupamiento basado en la conectividad. Se desarrolla un sistema que implementa el metodo propuesto y se muestran los resultados empiricos de la aplicacion de distintas heuristicas para la seleccion de las oraciones del resumen. Se realiza una evaluacion formal del sistema y se compara con otros que resuelven tareas similares. Los resultados de esta evaluacion demuestran que la propuesta es util para la creacion de resumenes muy similares en contenido a los creados por humanos. Finalmente, se identifican algunos problemas y lineas de trabajo futuras. [ABSTRACT] In this thesis, a new approach to biomedical text Summarization is presented. In recent years, the amount of online information has increased explosively. But as time is precious, efficient access to data has become necessary. This is especially crucial for physicians and biomedical researchers, since they have to consult constantly up-to-date and heterogeneous information according to their needs. In order to tackle this overload of information, text summarization can undoubtedly play a role. We introduce an ontology-based extractive method for summarization. It is based on mapping the text to concepts in the ontology and representing the document and its sentences as graphs. To assess the importance of the sentences in the document, we compute the centrality of their concepts in the document graph. We have applied our approach to summarize scientific biomedical literature, taking advantages from free resources as UMLS. Empirical results and conclusions are presented. We also evaluate generated summaries using existing metrics and confirm that our methodology is promising. Finally, pending problems and future work are identified.
Surgical-interventional hybrid orchestra consisting of Potts shunt, transcatheter tricuspid valve repair by Edwards-valve in a 26-year-old patient with pulmonary hypertension and right ventricular failure

Reported here is a 26-year-old patient with corrected congenital interrupted aortic arch admitted with massive hemoptysis and severe suprasystemic pul-monary hypertension provided him for heart-lung transplantation. Initial closure of a small aorto-pulmonary collateral remained ineffective. Persistent life-threatening hemoptysis led to the decision for a modified Potts shunt with the aim of decompressing the right ventricle and avoiding pulmonary-hypertensive crisis. The hemoptysis did not recur. However, the patient’s oxygen transport condition deteriorated and necessitated an orchestra of interventional-surgical approaches from re-coarctation stenting, Potts shunt flow reducing to surgical and transcatheter tricuspid valve repair with transient ECMO before the patient could be discharged home.
Atypical mycobacterial infection resembles sporotrichosis in elderly patient

Atypical mycobacterial (AM) infection is caused by Mycobacterium species other than M. tuberculosis . AM skin infection has clinical manifestations that resemble M. tuberculosis infection and deep fungal infection. Laboratory workup is necessary to confirm the diagnosis. An 83-year old female came with a painful lump and swelling on her right lower extremity since three months before admission. Physical examination revealed a plaque consisting, of multiple erythematous and hyperpigmented papules and nodules, diffuse erythematous lesion, and shallow ulcers partially covered with pus and crust. Histopathological features showed tuberculoid granuloma. Direct test and periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) staining of the skin biopsy found no fungal element nor acid-fast bacilli (AFB). Culture and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) of M. tuberculosis were negative. The working diagnosis was atypical mycobacterial infection and treatment with 450 mg rifampicin and 100 mg minocycline daily were administered accordingly. In two months observation following the treatment, the pain was no longer exist, the ulcers were completely healed, and some nodules were in the process of healing Among other Mycobacterium spp, M.marinum is the most common cause of AM infrections . Clinical manifestation of M. marinum infection may present as solitary or multiple nodules on the hands, feet, elbows and knees with sporotrichoid spreading patern. The diagnosis of AM was established based on clinical and laboratory examination. The diagnosis was also confirmed by good clinical response to minocycline and rifampicin. K eywords: atypical, mycobacterium, minocycline, rifampicin
Analogy as a Child Centric Approach to Teach: As Seen by a High School Teacher.

The scarcity of trained man power in the field of science and technology has become a growing phenomenon today. Thus, we are still facing the same challenge country wide. With the multidimensional increase in the field of science and technology, there is a huge shortage of expert workforce in the field of STEM. The numbers of students who qualify for admission into higher educational institution in STEM field is less than required. Our old age school systems from our country sides have failed to fulfill the need of this time. In addition, most rural schools lack basic facilities in terms of the resources required for better learning. Therefore, the author suggests the use of analogy as a powerful tool for a child centric education in rural schools with less resource.
Lindley Type Estimators When the Norm is Restricted to an Interval

Consider the problem of estimating a mean vector under the quadratic loss, based on a sample , , , . We find a Lindley type decision rule which shrinks the usual one toward the mean of observations when the underlying distribution is that of a variance mixture of normals and when the norm is restricted to a known interval, where and 1 is the column vector of ones. In this case, we characterize a minimal complete class within the class of Lindley type decision rules. We also characterize the subclass of Lindley type decision rules that dominate the sample mean.
Implementation of the Balanced Scorecard in the Hotel Sector through Transformational Leadership and Empowerment

One of the current problems of the entrepreneurial world is the successful implementation of the Balanced Scorecard (BSC), which is why it is interesting to study the variables that can influence its application in business. The main purpose of this paper is to establish a theoretical model through the literature review, that should consider the relationship between the transformational leadership among company staff (Avolio, Bass and Jung, 1999) and the empowerment of the rest of employees ( Thomas and Velthouse, 1990 Spritzer, 1995) upon the achievement of an increased capacity for organizational learning in the implementation of the BSC in companies (Easterby-Smith & Araujo,1999) from the following perspectives: financial, customer, business process, learning and growth in major companies in the hotel sector, specifically in four and five-star hotels. The Balanced Scorecard (BSC) is a strategic management model (Norton & Kaplan, 1992) that allows the measurement and control of the tangible and intangible objectives based on the company´s mission and vision statements. The implementation of BSC has a great influence on the predisposition, training and motivation in middle as well as executive management through empowerment and leadership, hence the importance of the analysis of these variables by means of the BSC.
MODELLING AND RECONSTRUCTION OF GABOR-TYPE HOLOGRAMS

The processes of modelling and reconstruction of holograms are based on the calculation of the diffraction integral either on its kirchhoff-fresnel or rayleight-sommerfeld formulation. Numerically, such an integral can be evaluated via different approaches: the convolution theorem, angular spectrum, and fresnel transform, among others. In this paper, the modelling of gabor-type in-line holograms of opaque particles of different diameters is presented. Those holograms are thereafter reconstructed by the numerical evaluation of the diffraction process that a spherical wavefront undergoes when it illuminates the hologram. The modelling-reconstruction process is employed for studying the performance of digital in-line holographic microscopy while the concentration of a simulated monodispersed monolayer is varied.
Computer aided diagnosis for cardiovascular diseases based on ECG signals : a survey

The interpretation of Electroencephalography (ECG) signals is difficult, because even subtle changes in the waveform can indicate a serious heart disease. Furthermore, these waveform changes might not be present all the time. As a consequence, it takes years of training for a medical practitioner to become an expert in ECG-based cardiovascular disease diagnosis. That training is a major investment in a specific skill. Even with expert ability, the signal interpretation takes time. In addition, human interpretation of ECG signals causes interoperator and intraoperator variability. ECG-based Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD) holds the promise of improving the diagnosis accuracy and reducing the cost. The same ECG signal will result in the same diagnosis support regardless of time and place. This paper introduces both the techniques used to realize the CAD functionality and the methods used to assess the established functionality. This survey aims to instill trust in CAD of cardiovascular diseases using ECG signals by introducing both a conceptional overview of the system and the necessary assessment methods.
Inferential reconstruction in memory for connected discourse

ABSTRACT A reconstructive approach to memory for connected discourse is contrasted with orientations that emphasize passive reproduction. Conditions under which reconstructive errors i recall should occur are specified. Most conventional experiments do not satisfy the conditions. In an experiment involving 360 college students, subjects were induced not to differentiate information in discourse from prior knowledge, and subsequently presented information contradicted expectations formed earlier. Predicted recall errors from a previously generated set tended to be manifested. This tendency increased with delay prior to recall. Such recall errors were almost totally absent when schematic states at recall did not contradict earlier states and when conventional memory instructions were employed. The results were interpreted as supporting the reconstructive theory presented. A preliminary sketch of a model of inferential reconstruction is also presented. (Author/AA).
REPEATED SPRINT ABILITY AND RECOVERY PERIOD : COMPARISON OF TRAINED AND UNTRAINED INDIVIDUALS 1

The purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of training both in repeated sprint ability (RSA) and during the recovery after sprint. Soccer players playing in regional amateur league (n=14, age: 21.86±2.35 years, height: 180.14±4.54 cm, body mass: 72.57±5.03 kg, training age: 8.71±1.86 years) and students from faculty of sport sciences that played soccer in the past (n=13, age: 23.77±2.65 years, height: 178.54±4.67 cm, body mass: 74.54±10.52 kg) participated in this study as trained and untrained group, respectively. The groups were tested using Yo-Yo intermittent recovery test level 1 (YIRT1) and maximum oxygen uptake (VO2max) was calculated using a formula from distance covered in YIRT1. Groups performed a repeated sprint ability (RSA, 6x6 s of Wingate test protocol + 30 s of rest) test after 48 h. Blood lactate level and heart rate of groups were recorded at rest, immediately, 5, 15, and 30 min after RSA test. The absolute peak power and relative mean power in repeated sprints and the VO2max values were significantly higher in trained group than in untrained group (p<0.05). The absolute values of mean power was also significantly higher in trained group compared to that of the untrained group, except for the first sprint (p<0.05). On the other hand, it was observed that blood lactate level at 30 min and heart rate at 15 and 30 min of the recovery after testing was significantly lower in trained group than those of untrained group (p<0.05). The performance and metabolic results showed that VO2max level would be effective both in maintaining repeated sprint ability performance and for the acceleration of the recovery period.
Proximate and mineral composition of the of marchubeh (Asparagus officinalis) in Iran.

Most of nutrient requirements can be met by increasing the consumption of fruits and vegetables to 5-13 servings/day. In addition to meeting nutrient intake levels, greater consumption of fruits and vegetables is associated with reducing risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke and cancers of the mouth, pharynx, esophagus, lungs, stomach and colon. The proximate composition and mineral constituents of Asparagus officinalis stem were evaluated in order to standard methods. The stem contained a ashes: 10.70%,crude protein: 32.69%, crude lipid: 3.44%, crude fiber: 18.50% and carbohydrates: 34.67%. Stem also have high energy value (384.27kcal/100g)dry weight. Mineral ranges (mg/100g dry weight, DW) were: K (10.94), Na (1.84), Ca (0.67), Fe (0.19) and Zn (2.60). Comparing the tubers mineral contents with recommended dietary allowances (RDA), the results indicated that Asparagus officinalis stem could be a good supplement for some nutrients such as protein, potassium and carbohydrates. The wild leaves stem could be promoted as a carbohydrate supplement for cereal-based diets in poor rural communities, while its high potassium content could be utilized for the management of hypertension and other cardiovascular conditions. The plant, A. officinalis is suitable for high-temperature food processes.
The Changing Non-Voter: What Differentiates Non-Voters and Voters in Asian American and Latino Communities?

Asian Americans and Latinos are currently one of the fastest growing racial minority groups in the United States. However, much of this growth is due to immigration: over half of both communities are new immigrants. Thus, Asian American and Latino political incorporation is directly related to the challenges associated with immigration and in ensuring the transition from citizen adult to voter. This paper explores the effect of immigration on the Asian American and Latino political behavior. Applying DeSipio’s (1996) model of new electorates, we disaggregate immigrants from both communities into three non-voting categories: non-naturalized immigrant adults, citizen adults not registered to vote, and registered voter adults who did not vote in the 2000 or 2004 election. Using Current Population Survey (CPS) data we identify and compare the factors that differentiate these three non-voting categories from those who voted between both communities. We find that Asian American and Latino political incorporation cannot be predicted solely on the basis of individual socioeconomic factors. In addition, we must take into account influences related to immigration and political institutions such as labor unions.
The risk sharing of client request error terms in DB mode

The DB general contractor needs to be done according to client requirement design of part or all of the work, the developer in the preliminary design stage tender, general mainly provide relevant conceptual, basic requirements of the project, which unavoidably exist errors and biases. As for the request is not clear, the design information is not complete, time nervous cause design accuracy is not enough. If the employer in the bidding and construction drawing design stage, while the developer provides a relatively detailed design documents, but there still may be inevitable errors. The developer because of subjective or objective error causes of client request, may cause delays due to design changes and changes to problems such as the price dispute, engineering change agreement is not clear lead to change the understanding of both parties after the occurrence of deviation, change the controversy, the key to solve the dispute of engineering change is to clarify what kind of work does fall within the scope of engineering change adjustment.
The Impact of Women Managers on Firm Performance: Evidence from Large U.S. Firms

James J Cordeiro and Susan Stites-Doe, State University of New York, United States of America Drawing on arguments from the management and human resource economics literatures, we hypothesise that the percentage of women managers employed in firms will be positively related to the performance of firms. A correlational research design is employed, and 1992 employment and performance data for 183 U.S. firms is utilised in data analysis. The hypothesis is strongly supported.
A maximum principle for evolution Hamilton-Jacobi equations on Riemannian manifolds

We establish a maximum principle for viscosity subsolutions and supersolutions of equations of the form u(t) + F(t, d(x)u) = 0, u(0, x) = u(0)(x), where u(0): M -> R is a bounded uniformly continuous function, M is a Riemannian manifold, and F: [0, infinity) x T*M -> R. This yields uniqueness of the viscosity solutions of such Hamilton-Jacobi equations.
Prevalence of Risk Factors of non-communicable Diseases in an Adult Population of Rural Bangladesh

Background: A community based survey was carried out to determine the distribution of major noncommunicable diseases risk factors as well as to explore the detection and treatment rate of diabetes mellitus and hypertension in rural adult population of Bangladesh. Methods: The survey was done in2006 among 545 individualsaged 25 to 64 years randomly drawn from a village (Ekhlaspur under Chandpur district) of Bangladesh. Information on diet, physical activity, alcohol and tobacco, and treatment history for hypertension and diabetes were collected. Height, weight, waist circumference, blood pressure, capillary blood glucose and total cholesterol were measured. Results: There were 269 men and 276 women with the mean age of 43.9 years (standard deviation, 11.6 years). Six in ten (62.4%) of them used tobacco in some form (smoking or smokeless), 93.7% did not consume adequate fruits and vegetables (five servings or more), and 7.4% of them had low physical activity. More than 6% were overweight or obese (BMI ≥25kg/m2) and 10% had hypertension (blood pressure ≥140/ 90 mmHg or medication). Capillary blood measurement and history of medication combined provided a prevalence of 3.1% for diabetes while prevalence of hypercholesterolemia (≥240 mg/dL) was 2.9% based on capillary blood cholesterol level alone. Less than half of hypertensive and less than one-tenth diabetes subjects were receiving treatmentfor their respective conditions. Conclusions: Prevalence of noncommunicable diseases risk factorsis fairly high even in thisruralBangladeshi sample. Treatment rate for hypertension and diabetes is quite low. Interventionsshould address lifestyle changes and treatment of diabetes and hypertension. Cardiovasc. j. 2018; 10(2): 126-134
Students ’ Expectations in an Arab ICLHE / EMI Context : Implications for ELT Education Policy and Practice

Students’ expectations have seldom received any attention in English Language Teaching (ELT) education research in the Arab World in general and in Integrated Content and Language in Higher Education (ICLHE)/English Medium Instruction (EMI) English for Academic Purposes (EAP) in particular, despite their importance for policy and practice. This mixed-method study investigates the expectations of 50 students attending an ICLHE/EMI EAP course at College of Law, Sultan Qaboos University (SQU) in the Sultanate of Oman. The results have shown that the students had course materials and content and course pedagogy and design implementation expectations. The results have further revealed that the teacher played a key role in meeting his students’ expectations through his effective teaching. The findings have important implications for ICLHE/EMI policy implementation in other similar local, regional and global contexts.
Calf and Yearling Prices in the Western United States: Spatial, Quality, and Temporal Factors in Satellite Video Auctions

This paper investigates spatial, quality, and temporal factors impacting prices of calves and yearlings in the western United States using satellite video auction data and a hedonic regression framework. Prices received by western ranchers are discounted by approximately the costs of shipping cattle to the Midwest for processing. Other key results include identifying the presence of temporal price premiums for seller-offered forward contracts, providing new estimates of the marginal value associated with key quality attributes and management practices and finding support for the price benefits of third-party quality certification. We also link variability in estimated valuations for value-added attributes to the stage of the cattle cycle.
The Effect of Budget Participation to Budgetary Slack With External Pressure as Moderating Variable

This study aims to examine empirically the effect of budget participation on budgetary slack and the influence of external pressure as a moderating of the relationship between budget participation and budgetary slack in Probolinggo Municipal Government. The sample was 105 employees participated in the budgeting process at 40 Local Government Units (LGU) in Probolinggo Municipal Government. This study was using multiple linear regression. The outcomes indicated that the greater level of employee participation in the preparation of the budget, the budgetary slack will be reduced. Unfortunately, this study was not able to prove that the interaction between budget participation and external pressure strengthen the relationship between budget participation and budgetary slack. Yet, external pressure can reduce budgetary slack. Keywords: budget participation, budgetary slack, external pressure.

Stress evolution during the oxidation of silicon nanowires in the sub-10 nm diameter regime

Using a reactive molecular dynamics simulation, the oxidation of Si nanowires (Si-NWs) with diameters of 5, 10, and 20 nm was investigated. The compressive stress at the interface between the oxide and the Si core decreased with increasing curvature in the sub-10 nm regime of the diameter, in contrast to the theory of self-limiting oxidation where rigid mechanical constraint of the Si core was assumed. The Si core of the thinner Si-NW was deformed more with surface oxidation, resulting in a lower compressive stress at the interface. These results explain the experimental observation of full oxidation of very thin Si-NWs.
