A Risk-Based Approach for Selecting Software Requirements

In incremental development approaches, there is a great interest in delivering system releases on-time and on-budget, raising the satisfaction level of the stakeholders involved in the development process. Thus, the software requirements selection process has a key role in identifying a good-enough or even an optimal subset of candidate requirements, which can balance trade-offs among critical aspects, such as project budget, requirements costs, customers’ preferences and their importance. Despite relevant contributions, current proposals do not address software risks involved in the development process, which represents another key aspect that can deeply impact on project cost and stakeholders’ satisfaction. In such a direction, this paper proposes a risk-based approach for selecting software requirements, in which a risk analysis is incorporated for estimating the impact of risks in the cost of the next release requirements and stakeholders’ satisfaction. Evaluation results based on a pilot use case reveal the potential practical applicability of the proposed approach.

Software Agent Technologies 1

It is by now a cliche that there is no one, universally accepted definition of intelligent agent technology, but a number of loosely related techniques. Yet there are certain themes that appear common to agent-based systems, and, correspondingly, certain problems that must be addressed and overcome by all agent system builders. The aim of this paper is to briefly survey the tools and techniques that can be used to address these common issues, and that hence form a substrate for software agent systems. This paper begins with a review of agent communication languages, focusing particularly on the emerging standard known as KQML. Then a thumbnail sketch of various programming languages for building agent-based systems is presented, and there follows a discussion on support for ontologies, which allow agents to communicate using commonly defined terms and concepts. Then other computing infrastructure support for agent-based systems is considered, in particular, the use of client/server architectures and distributed object frameworks. Finally, some general comments and conclusions are presented.
Diseño y simulación de un amplificador “Instrumental Operacional” como apoyo en la lectura y transmisión de señales mioeléctricas por un solo canal con bajo ruido

The importance of designing an AIO (Operational Amplifier Instrumental), is the need for development and production of electronic elements that help mioelectriaca interface, which without relying on sources of power or high power, you can control devices with the basic movements of human beings, through one of its articulated members, for this is required to have built an operational amplifier - instrumental. The most commonly used to date are two stages, comprising a differential input and an inverter output, they even do not have cleaning steps, filter, frequency and length of the signal to be criminalized for certain operations and actions basic with focus on design aspects that minimize noise and voltage amplifier. The investigation started with a modeling and design of components filters and noise reduction with AIO, capturing the signal on a channel, to go climbing in complexity and operability, all supported by an experimental analysis and supported by the frame CDIO (conception, design, implementation and operation). a first logical model of a manipulated with some muscle prototype is developed, this provides a platform for the movement of a servomotor and controlling at least 2 possible moves, in future work they will be documented and managed through a software that validates the significant reduction noise. It must acquire a greater understanding and knowledge of noise, electromagnetic interference, or EMI and its causes as it can help in the later stage of the processing chain, which is the removal or dissipation, so it plans to allocate time to better noise knowledge and study of procurement systems aimed at their reduction.

A COMPLETE RESPONSE OF METASTATIC RENAL CELL CARCINOMA TO BEVACIZUMAB AND INTERFERON AFTER A NEPHRECTOMY : CASE REPORT

In general, metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) is managed with systemic treatments and cytoreductive nephrectomy is recommended only when it is feasible. Historically, systemic treatment of mRCC was limited to cytokine treatment with interferon (IFN) and interleukin (IL)-2, as chemotherapy was considered to be ineffective in these patients. Bevacizumab in combination with interferon alfa is approved for treatment-nave advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC) in both the US and Europe. Its objective response rates is 30%. We report a case of a patient who presents a complete response after a nephrectomy and bevacizumab associated to interferon alpha.
Umbilical Cord Blood Transplant- Are We Doing Enough?

As the field of UCBT expanded exponentially a parallel evolution was seen in the system of cord blood banking. There are at least 142 public and 25 private UCB banks the world over with 3 public and 7 private banks located in India [4]. The private banks store approximately 900,000 UCB units as compared to a mere 400,000 units available in the public banks [5], highlighting a great divide. The futility of storage of UCB for autologous use is well recognized by the medical fraternity bringing it much obloquy. Currently, the indications for autologous UCBT in the pediatric populations are limited to recurrent lymphoma, solid tumors such as neuroblastoma and severe aplastic anemia [6]. The utility of autologous UCBT in the pediatric population is extremely low at 1-3 per million children as is the estimated risk of developing the few indications requiring autologous UCBT in children which is pegged at less than 1 in 50,000 [6].
Estratégia de manutenção no cenário da indústria 4.0 : construção de significado para os dados de condições operacionais relevantes na ótica de disponibilidade de uma siderúrgica.

The way for insertion of steel industry in industry 4.0 is is being built and maintenance sector can benefit from this moment by raising its service level. Talking about the two issues, makes us wonder what future strategies might look like and how technology might improve the management methods currently applied. The course completion work was make through a case study in the maintenance sector of a steel industry in Minas Gerais. The steel industry went through a standardization just like the other units belonging to the same group. It was verified what would be the benefits of industry 4.0 in the methods adopted in the unit. A data processing model has been developed that enters demands for maintenance by creating meanings. With rules definition, the model performs tests comparing the information obtained from the sensors of the machines. The model was applied by creating rules for a material transport problem. The defect, in this case meaning, was overload. Its implementation has potential to increase the reliability of maintenance. The construction of meaning for machine parameter changes supports the decision and optimizes the maintenance recourse that will make vital interventions for operational continuity.
Data Wrangling and Data Leakage in Machine Learning for Healthcare

Nowadays, healthcare and life sciences overall have produced massive amounts of real-time data by enterprise resource planning (ERP). These large of amount data is a difficult task to handle, and intimidation of data leakage by inside worker rises, the firms are smearing way out for security such as Data Loss Prevention (DLP) and Digital Rights Management (DRM) to prevent data leakage. On the other hand, data leakage system also turns into varied and challenging to avert data leakage. Machine learning techniques are used for the handling of significant data by evolving algorithms and set of rules to provide the prerequisite results to the workers. Deep learning has automatic feature extraction that grasps the essential features necessary for the solution of the problem. It reduces the issue of the workers to select elements explicitly to solve the problems for supervised, unsupervised and semi-supervised for healthcare data’s.
Outcome analysis of internal fixation of fractures with musculo skeletal infective foci elsewhere in the body

AIM AND OBJECTIVE : To evaluate the outcome of internal fixation of closed fractures with musculoskeletal infective foci elsewhere in the body. This study will provide possible variations in the outcome of this study. METHODS : This is a retrospective cum prospective analytical study in 15 patients presented with closed fractures with musculoskeletal infective foci elsewhere admitted in Institute of Orthopaedics & Traumatology, Madras Medical College , Rajiv Gandhi Govt General Hospital, Chennai from July 2013 to Aug 2014. This study applies strict inclusion and exclusion criteria’s with recommended guidelines of treatment. Pre and post operatively, both C R P & E S R values were obtained and interpretated. Wound swab culture and sensitivity was done at pre operatively and post operatively. Appropriate antibiotics were given at pre operatively and post operatively. Fracture fixation by open surgical methods is done to obtain anatomical restoration of articular surface & acceptable reduction of the fracture fragments. RESULTS : In our study, outcome analysis of internal fixation for fifteen (15) patients were analysed. Organisms found in infective focus are not seen at surgical site, which was confirmed by drain tip swab culture & sensitivity after 2nd POD. Post operatively all patients showed CRP value < 6 at 4th POD & end of the 4th Week( 28th day), Though we are able to isolate the organisms from the distal musculoskeletal infective foci pre operatively, there was no superficial surgical site infection as well as post operative implant related infection from the distal musculoskeletal infective foci. CONCLUSION : A short term follow up of our study results have encouraged us in preferring the surgical management of fractures with musculoskeletal infective foci elsewhere in the body with proper pre op planning. From our study, irrespective of the wound status with the recommended normal value of c reactive protein, outcome of internal fixation of closed fractures were found to be safe and effective.
Pediatric cardiomyopathies: A review of literature on clinical status and meta-analysis of diagnosis and clinical management methods

Cardiomyopathies define a heterogeneous group of heart muscle disorders. They are an important cause of heart failure and a leading indication for heart transplantation in pediatric patients. Research on cardiomyopathy has however focused on the adult populations with fewer dedicated clinical trials investigating pediatric cardiomyopathy. Diagnosis and clinical management of pediatric cardiomyopathy are also challenging because of the lack of specific methods for diagnosis and treatment. Assessment of ventricular structure using absolute values in adults are not useful in children because of their constantly changing body surface area. Therapies developed for adults applied to pediatric patients also have had varied clinical outcomes. This paper therefore reviews existing research evidence on pediatric cardiomyopathy, with the objective of broadening its clinical understanding and management. *Correspondence to: Aref Albakri, Department of Internal Medicine, St-Marien Hospital Bonn Venusberg, Germany, E-mail: arefalbakri@yahoo.com

Abstract 5530: PD-L1 expression in patients screened for phase 2 head and neck squamous cell carcinoma clinical studies (HAWK and CONDOR)

PD-L1 expression by immunohistochemistry (IHC) has proven to be a useful biomarker in determining patient response to anti-PD-1/PD-L1-directed therapeutics in several cancers, including HNSCC. Understanding the impact of sample type and demography on PD-L1 expression will inform the suitability of tumor biopsies for testing. Patients entering the HAWK and CONDOR studies were screened for PD-L1 expression (n=669) in a tumor tissue sample using the Ventana PD-L1 SP263 IHC assay as part of the inclusion criteria. PD-L1 assessment was performed centrally using fully validated test procedures and scoring by trained pathologists. Patients were classified as PD-L1 high if ≥25% of tumor cells (TCs) showed membrane staining. Recently acquired or archival samples ≤3 years old were permitted. Baseline demographic and clinical factors were obtained from the clinical database. Prevalence of PD-L1 expression was assessed according to various clinical and demographic characteristics, sample type (biopsy or resection) and location of biopsy (primary tumor vs metastatic site). Comparisons of PD-L1 expression between subgroups of samples were undertaken using a test for equality of proportions. PD-L1 prevalence was significantly higher in females, patients who never smoked, and those with oral cavity primary. Prevalence was similar in archival and recently acquired samples, by HPV status, and between primary and metastatic sites and for biopsies compared with resections (Table). A separate internal study using 40 pairs of matched samples from a commercial source confirmed strong concordance in PD-L1 status between primary and metastatic sites. These results indicate that various sample types can be reliably used for the determination of TC PD-L1 status in HNSCC. Similar prevalence of PD-L1 expression was found between primary and metastatic lesions and archival compared to recently acquired tissue, with important implications in everyday clinical practice.

The predictive modeling for learning student results based on sequential rules

Nowadays, learning activities at universities in Vietnam are mostly in the form of credit-based mode. That is, to graduate students have to complete the subjects speci(cid:12)ed in the curriculum including the compulsory and optional ones. Therefore, to achieve their best performance, students would need guidelines on study direction in the compulsory subjects and choose the optional courses appropriate to their interests and abilities. Based on these practical requirements, the paper proposes a tool to assist students in predicting their own academic performance in order to improve their academic ability and be more scienti(cid:12)cally grounded. In addition, the tool also helps students choose the subjects for the next semester in a reasonable manner. This tool is based on a set of sequential rules derived from the learning result of the students. To evaluate the performance of the proposed model, this tool was tested from real students records in the Faculty of Information Technology in Ho Chi Minh City University of Industry
Clinical Evaluation of Dry Eye Syndrome in Patients with Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy and Laser Therapy Indication

Studies have shown a higher incidence of dry eye among patients with diabetes compared to patients without diabetes. However, information regarding dry eye in patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy and laser therapy indication is not sufficient. To estimate the clinical manifestation of dry eye syndrome in patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy and laser therapy indication. A cross-sectional study was performed during a local evaluation campaign of diabetic patients with vision disabilities at the Instituto Cearense de Oftalmologia in Fortaleza, CE, Brazil. Patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy and laser therapy indication were included in the study. An anamnesis directly to dry eye complaints was performed, and eligible participants completed the Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) questionnaire. The slit lamp examination was performed with fluorescein staining; the tear break-up time (TBUT) was measured, and conjunctiva and corneal was evaluated using Rose Bengal (RB) staining. Finally, the Schirmer I test was performed. Twenty-five patients were included in the study with a diagnostic time of Diabetes Mellitus ranged from 1 to 35 years, with an average of 17.2 ± 8.7 years. In our sample, 14 patients (56%) reported glycemic control with insulin, while 11 patients (44%) had oral hypoglycemic agents. The most prevalent complaint was blurred vision (96% of patients) followed by low visual acuity (92%). A less prevalent complaint was pain (44%). The mean OSDI score was 49.4 ± 24.2. TBUT was less than 10 seconds in 21 patients (84%), and RB staining grade was more than 3 in 13 patients (52%). The results of the Schirmer I test ranged from 2 to 35 mm, with a mean of 13.57 ± 9.78 mm. It was smaller than 10 mm in 15 patients (60%). The frequency of manifestation of dry eye syndrome was very common in patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy and laser therapy indication. Ocular surface care should be provided for those patients with significant ocular morbidity.
Development of Algorithm for High Resolution Retinex for Image Enhancement

Retinex is a method used for image processing. Image processing has a great role in Medical science. Medical images such as MRI, CT, Ultrasound, X-Ray has to be processed for proper diagnosis. Retinex technique can be used for the processing of these images. By retinex processing it can provide better dynamic range compression, color consistency and lightness rendition. The different methods proposed by retinex algorithm includes Light Compensation Algorithm in Color Facial Image, Retinex for bridging the gap between color images and the human observation of scenes, Color Image Contrast Enhancement by Retinex, Color Image Enhancement with Adaptive Filter. In this paper we discuss about an algorithm for frequency domain based high resolution retinex for medical image processing. Initially we introduce Fast Fourier Transform to the image. Then Gaussian filtering is done and the inverse fourier transform is taken. Next step is to apply logarithmic function. Finally gain/offset is applied to obtain the enhanced output image. The method can produce good contrast enhancement. It can be used for both color image and gray image. Since it can process gray images the medical images can be processed successfully. The output for Single Scale Retinex, Multi Scale Retinex and Multi Scale Retinex with Color Restoration are obtained.
The Impact of Urinary Incontinence on Quality of Life in Those Receiving Home Care Services

This study aims to evaluate the impact of urinary incontinence on the quality of life in those receiving home care services and the factors that influence this. This cross-descriptive study was performed in 180 patients who were served from Home Care Services between 01 and 28 February 2018. An International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire–Short Form (ICIQ-SF) was implemented in person to those who gave their informed consent with orientation and cooperation. The mean age of a 180 patients was 74.40 ± 7.80 years (min = 18, max = 104), of which 55.2% were women. The mean ICIQ-SF score was found to be 12.42 ± 4.83 (min = 0, max = 21). The lowest points were given as responses to the question, “In your opinion, what amount of leakage do you experience? ” The highest points, however, were given to the question of “How much does urinary leakage interfere with your everyday life? ” It was seen that when quality of life is assessed with a visual analog scale within the ICIQ-SF, the quality of life for 66.6% of elderly individuals was affected moderately or significantly. The mean ICIQ-SF scores were higher in those with chronic diseases (p < .005). Urinary Incontinence negatively affects quality of life to a moderate and significant degree in those receiving home care. The quality of life for those who have chronic diseases was worse. In this respect, there is a need to support patients in those receiving home care services.
