Methodologies for publishing linked open government data for the data on the web: a systematic mapping

Since the beginning of the release of open data by many countries, different methodologies for publishing linked data have been proposed. However, they seem to not be adopted by early studies exploring linked data, for different reasons. In this work, we conducted a systematic mapping in the literature with the aim of synthesizing the different approaches around the following topics: common steps, associated tools and practices, quality assessment validations and evaluation of the methodology. The findings show a core set of activities, based on the linked data principles, but with very important additional steps for practical use in scale. Although a fair amount of quality issues are reported in the literature, very few of these methodologies embed validation steps in their process. We describe an integrated overview of the different activities and how they can be executed with appropriate tools. We also present research challenges that need to be addressed in future works in this area.
A Front-end Application for Markov Random Field-based Texture Image Segmentation

Accurately segmenting texture images that are characterized by globally varying patterns that belong to the same class is a challenge, especially when the images are large or highly susceptible to noise. Such textures appear for example in radar images and in H&E stained pathology images. Markov Random Fields segmentation is a powerful technique that is able to take into account information of the surroundings of a pixel to infer the most likely class it belongs to. However, Markov Random Fields work on pixel level which makes it very computationally demanding, especially for large images or when fast processing times are required. Furthermore, working on pixel level means that it is hard to use accurate texture features during segmentation. This document aims to overcome these drawbacks of Markov Random Field segmentation by providing a front-end based on the concept of superpixels, the output of which can be used as input to the Markov Random Field segmentation algorithm.

Experimental cultures of giant lion s paw Nodipecten subnodosus in equatorial waters of the eastern Pacific: progress in larval development and suspended culture

The bivalve Nodipecten subnodosus is one of the largest scallop species and has been selected as an appropriate species for mariculture, adapting the culture technology for production in equatorial waters of the western Pacific. A study of its larval development was performed, comparing standard technology with different treatments in terms of larval density (2 and 4 larvae/ml), temperature (24, 27 and 29oC), photoperiod limitation (darkness) and antibiotic treatment (Florfenicol 1.2 mg/L). The juveniles obtained (11 mm) were transplanted to suspended culture in Ayangue Bay, Santa Elena Province, Ecuador. Results show suboptimal larval cultures, probably due to water quality. The only treatment that produced competent larvae for metamorphosis (>50% larvae with eye spot) was the darkness treatment after 18 days, when the larvae reached 193.4±15. 69µm in length with a survival of 33±1.48%, however, growth rate (6.2 μm/day) was also lower than that reported for the N. subnodosus . Juveniles in intermediate culture showed the highest growth rates so far reported for the species (9.3 mm/mo), and reached 64 mm in 8 mo. The rapid growth in suspended culture conditions with the estimation of >55% in survival, suggest N. subnodosus as an emerging species for the diversification of aquaculture in Ecuador.
Pneumonije u dječjoj dobi Pneumonias in Children

Sažetak Pneumonije i sada imaju velik udio u pobolu i smrtnosti djece osobito u zemljama u razvoju. Spektar kliničkih slika je od blage do za život opasne infekcije. Rizik od nastanka teških infekcija osobito je velik u dojenačkoj i predškolskoj dobi. Na osnovi kliničkih znakova, laboratorijske i radiološke obrade vrlo je teško razlučiti bakterijsku od virusne pneumonije. Posljednjih godina diljem svijeta sve češće se opisuju rezistentni uzročnici na antibiotike. U ovom preglednom radu, na osnovi recentne literature iznose se današnje spoznaje o uzročnicima pneumonije u djece, kao i o mogućnostima liječenja.
MATH 595 Hypergraph Container Method notes

The maximum triangle-free graph has n/4 edges [8]. Hence, the number of triangle-free graphs is at least 2 2/4. This was shown to be the correct order of magnitude by Erdős, Kleitman and Rothschild [5] (see Balogh-Morris-Samotij [2] or Saxton-Thomason [13] for recent proofs). Moreover, almost every triangle-free graph is bipartite [5], even if there is a restriction on the number of edges (first shown by Osthus-Prömel-Taraz [11], extended by Balogh-Morris-Samotij-Warnke [3]; see [2] and [3] for a more detailed history of the problem). This suggests that most of those graphs are bipartite, and subgraphs of a complete bipartite graph, therefore most of them are not maximal. Erdős suggested the following problem (as stated in Simonovits [14]):
Pesantren and University: An Educational Networking in the Era of Globalization

Globalization and the communications revolution have allowed vastly increased flows of ideas and people across the Islamic world, generating new social forms. As it is well known, these include transnational religious movements providing Islamic education (pesantren) services. Indonesia, as the country with the largest Muslim majority, has attracted Islamic activists from other parts around the world. What is little known is that some of the most active transnational Islamic movements in Indonesia in recent years originate from Turkey. This research introduces one of the lesser known of the major Turkish transnational piety renewal movement that have recently established their Pesantren in Indonesia: the Süleymancıs. This paper provides an example of how a new actor of Turkish Muslim organization comes to project itself into a new cultural environment and adapts to that new context as well as contested their religious authority in Indonesian Islam through establishing Pesantren (Islamic education institution). One obvious characteristics of the Pesantren is to works closely with Indonesian universities. This paper is based on ethnographic research conducted in Indonesia and additional observations made in Turkey, Germany, and Australia. The study aims at documenting of the arrival of the Süleymancıs in Indonesia providing service in the form of high quality religious education considering the available ‘opportunity spaces’. This paper will also illustrate that an educational networking between Pesantren and University shares mutual benefits in order to educate younger generation in both secular and religious education. This networking could be an alternative model for future of education in this globalized era.
Intensive LDL-C Lowering in Type 2 Diabetes: How Can We Achieve It?

67 The optimal management of type 2 diabetes in order to minimize its associated morbidity and mortality remains a significant challenge for healthcare providers. In Canada, statistics from 2005 showed that 5.5% of the population (1.8 million people) had diabetes; the vast majority of these individuals had type 2 diabetes.1 A more recently published study using the ICES database found that the prevalence of diagnosed diabetes in Ontario had increased from 5.2% in 1994/1995 to 8.8% in 2004/20055—an almost 70% increase over just 10 years.2 People with diabetes remain at significantly increased risk for cardiovascular (CV) disease, in addition to blindness and end-stage renal disease. Studies such as the STENO 2 trial3 have demonstrated that a comprehensive, multifactorial approach will dramatically reduce the macrovascular and microvascular complications of diabetes. In this study, for example, an intensified multifactorial intervention strategy—including aggressive control of LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C), blood pressure (BP), and glucose in addition to the use of reninangiotensin-system blockers and ASA—was highly effective in reducing the risk of macroand microvascular complications by about 50% over the eight years of the trial in patients with diabetes and microalbuminuria. After an additional five years of passive follow-up, the multifactorial risk-reduction strategy was associated with a remarkable 46% reduction in total mortality compared to conventional treatment (hazard ratio 0.54; 95% confidence interval 0.32 to 0.89; p = 0.02). 4 As a result of this, and similar studies, the 2008 Canadian Diabetes Association (CDA) Clinical Practice Guidelines5 emphasize the importance of a comprehensive, multifaceted approach to reduce the risk of diabetic complications. All people with diabetes should receive lifestyle modification including the achievement and maintenance of a healthy body weight, healthy diet, regular physical activity, and smoking cessation. In addition, LDL-C should be treated to target (i.e., < 2.0 mmol/L in high-risk patients), BP should be treated with a target of < 130/80 mmHg and glucose levels should be treated with a target A1C of < 7.0% for most patients. This review focuses on several elements that need to be considered in the management of dyslipidemia for patients with type 2 diabetes: the increased CV risk associated with diabetes; the benefits of lowering LDL-C; the current targets for lipid levels recommended in Canadian guidelines; the care gap that exists in Canada; and the interventions that can be employed to help achieve LDL-C goals.
Anesthetic Management of Common Pediatric Emergencies

Several issues must be considered when presented with a child for an emergency procedure. The airway must, of course, be managed along with ensuring adequate breathing and circulation. At the same time, the urgency of the proposed intervention needs to be determined. It is a great disservice to a patient when a thorough preoperative workup and attempts at optimizing nil per os (NPO) status have been abandoned for a procedure that is, in fact, elective. Intravenous (IV) access may also prove challenging in the pediatric patient undergoing emergency surgery. It would be extremely unlikely for an adult in an emergency situation to present to the operating room without an IV, whereas a child may be sent from a clinic or emergency department without an established one. Most emergency procedures dictate the presence of an IV before induction. Another consideration unique to children is the desire for parental presence at anesthetic induction. Consideration should be taken to determine whether having a parent present poses an unnecessary distraction and places the child at risk due to the emergent nature of the situation. Parental presence need not be an expectation in such cases.
Mechanoresponse of stem cells for vascular repair

Stem cells have shown great potential in vascular repair. Numerous evidence indicates that mechanical forces such as shear stress and cyclic strain can regulate the adhesion, proliferation, migration, and differentiation of stem cells via serious signaling pathways. The enrichment and differentiation of stem cells play an important role in the angiogenesis and maintenance of vascular homeostasis. In normal tissues, blood flow directly affects the microenvironment of vascular endothelial cells (ECs); in pathological status, the abnormal interactions between blood flow and vessels contribute to the injury of vessels. Next, the altered mechanical forces are transduced into cells by mechanosensors to trigger the reformation of vessels. This process occurs when signaling pathways related to EC differentiation are initiated. Hence, a deep understanding of the responses of stem cells to mechanical stresses and the underlying mechanisms involved in this process is essential for clinical translation. In this the review, we provide an overview of the role of stem cells in vascular repair, outline the performance of stem cells under the mechanical stress stimulation, and describe the related signaling pathways.
A study to assess the degree of adherence of prescription to WHO and MCI guidelines at a tertiary health care teaching hospital in North India

Background: Prescription errors are one of the most common preventable medication errors. The occurrence of medication errors can compromise the patient confidence in the healthcare system and also increase healthcare costs. The aim of this study was to randomly audit medical prescriptions and associated factors at the outpatient department of a tertiary care teaching institute in Lucknow. Methodology: A total of 420 prescriptions were randomly selected and reviewed. Data on the prescribed drugs were collected from prescription papers using a structured format and analysed using SPSS software. Data on patient demographics, indication for each medication, dosage, dosage form, regimen and concurrent medications were collected. Data on duration of medication were not evaluated. Results: Out of 420 prescriptions included for review, date of prescription was documented in only 59% of cases. Signature of doctor was present in 94.2% prescriptions although the name of the prescriber was mentioned in only 27% prescriptions. The average number of drugs per prescription was 3.89%. Errors related to dosing were documented in 44% cases. Injectable drugs were prescribed in 26.6% prescriptions, whereas antibiotics were written in 13.8%. The percentage of drugs prescribed by generic name was only 7.61%. The understanding of patients regarding prescription of medication given to them, especially with regards to legibility of dose and timing was 55.7%. Conclusion: The results of our study prove that prescribing errors are a major cause of preventable iatrogenic injury to patients. They may be rectified by educational intervention as well as standardised prescription charts.
Effect of glycemic control on periodontal disease and caries experience in diabetic patients: A pilot study

Background: Diabetes mellitus is a diverse set of metabolic disorders initiated by either a lack of insulin, opposition to its action, or both. The aim of this study was to assess the association between glycemic control and the periodontal/caries status of controlled diabetic patients at Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja. Materials and Methods: Forty-eight diabetic patients with good glycemic control demonstrated by three consecutive results in their medical records and who gave informed consent were enlisted and screened for periodontal disease and dental caries. Glycemic control was assessed using fasting blood sugar, 2-h postprandial, and glycated hemoglobin (Hb1Ac). Caries was assessed by decayed missing filled teeth (DMFT) while oral hygiene index, gingival index (GI), clinical attachment loss (CAL), and probing pocket depth (PPD) were used to assess periodontal health. The data collected were analyzed using SPSS version 18 and test of statistical significance was done using Chi-square test and ANOVA test. A P ≤ 0.05 was recorded as statistically significant. Results: The PPD and CAL of the participants were significantly associated with their glycemic levels. Those with increased glycemic values had greater attachment loss and pocket depth. Gingival inflammation and oral hygiene were however not significantly associated with glycemic control. Respondents above 65 years similarly had significantly higher numbers of missing teeth (P = 0.04) and greater mean DMFT values (P = 0.03). Similarly, respondents above 66 years of age, those who had no education, and females were observed to have worse oral hygiene, gingival inflammation, and periodontal destruction evidenced by CAL and PPD than other respondents, even though the association was not significant. Conclusion: Oral health manifestations of diabetes need to be emphasized like other systemic diabetic complications. The salient role of glycemic control in periodontal health should also be continuously emphasized among diabetics.
A rare case of primary leiomyosarcoma of the inferior vena cava with an intra- and extravascular component

Primary leiomyosarcoma of the inferior vena cava (IVC) is a rare vascular tumor. It is frequently seen in the sixth decade of life with a female predominance. The diagnosis is often challenging as patients present with nonspecific complaints such as dyspnea, abdominal discomfort, or back pain. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging individually or in combination with cavography, ultrasonography, and echocardiography allow an early preoperative diagnosis. Herein, we present a rare case report of primary leiomyosarcoma of the IVC in a 65-year-old female patient who presented with vague abdominal discomfort. Ultrasound of the abdomen detected a mass in the retroperitoneum with mixed echogenicity. CT scan revealed a 10.5 cm × 8.5 cm × 6.3 cm lobulated, heterogeneously enhancing mass with areas of necrosis and involving IVC. The diagnosis of a retroperitoneal mass involving IVC with a possibility of an IVC tumor was made. En bloc resection of the tumor with primary closure of the IVC was performed after careful dissecting from the surrounding structures. Specimen grossly revealed a soft pedunculated tissue mass projecting into the IVC and a large lobulated mass of 13 cm × 12 cm × 10 cm adherent to the surrounding structures. Histopathological report confirmed the diagnosis of primary leiomyosarcoma of the IVC.
Public Health and Online Misinformation: Challenges and Recommendations.

The internet has become a popular resource to learn about health and to investigate one's own health condition. However, given the large amount of inaccurate information online, people can easily become misinformed. Individuals have always obtained information from outside the formal health care system, so how has the internet changed people's engagement with health information? This review explores how individuals interact with health misinformation online, whether it be through search, user-generated content, or mobile apps. We discuss whether personal access to information is helping or hindering health outcomes and how the perceived trustworthiness of the institutions communicating health has changed over time. To conclude, we propose several constructive strategies for improving the online information ecosystem. Misinformation concerning health has particularly severe consequences with regard to people's quality of life and even their risk of mortality; therefore, understanding it within today's modern context is an extremely important task. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Public Health, Volume 41 is April 1, 2020. Please see http://www.annualreviews. org/page/journal/pubdates for revised estimates.
What factors contribute to uncontrolled gout and hospital admission? A qualitative study of inpatients and their primary care practitioners

Objective To provide deeper insight into why patients are admitted to hospital with gout and discover potential targets for better disease control. Design Data from semi-structured interviews were analysed using a thematic analysis approach. Participants and setting Eleven inpatients from a tertiary institution in the Australian Capital Territory of Australia and their respective general practitioners (GPs) were invited to participate in the semi-structured interviews. Results Despite significant pain and disability that accompanied acute flares, patients continue to experience shame in seeking treatment and regarded gout as being not particularly important. Other barriers included patients’ poor continuity of care with and lack of confidence in GPs, suboptimal management in outpatient and inpatient settings, poor understanding of disease and treatment, and misconceptions held by both patients and physicians leading to uncontrolled disease activity. Conclusions Barriers to optimal gout management including patient and health practitioner factors have produced a complex effect which has led to a cycle of treatment avoidance behaviours and recurrent hospitalisations for severe acute gout flares. These barriers could be addressed using a multipronged approach guided by the chronic care model which has been applied in a variety of other chronic diseases with improved patient and professional-level outcomes. Managing gout according to best practice for chronic disease is more likely to prevent recurrent hospitalisations and improve health outcomes in patients with gout.
Speaking in Tongues: What Parents Really Think About Tongue-Tie Surgery for Their Infants

We evaluate maternal perspectives of frenotomy for ankyloglossia in newborns. We searched highly frequented forums like babycenter.com for comments related to frenotomy posted from 2012 to 2017. We applied modified grounded theory, reviewed posts for thematic synthesis, and calculated frequencies for each theme. High decisional conflict, low discussion of surgical complications, and an overall moderate positive experience were noted. Mothers posted about breastfeeding issues (n = 227, 74.7%) and overall experience (n = 229, 75.3%). Posts related to breastfeeding include discomfort (“I can no longer physically take the pain”; n = 93, 30.6%). Parents posted frequently about a satisfactory outcome (“It was so worth it to improve our nursing relationship”; n = 133, 43.8%), but dissatisfactory outcome (“I’m still having problems latching and am pumping. It’s brutal”; n = 31) was present in 10.2%. These results aid in understanding parental thoughts of frenotomy. Physicians can use these self-reported maternal perspectives on frenotomy to guide counseling and improve shared decision making for parents.
Supraglottoplasty in Neonates under One Month of Age

Objectives: Examine outcomes of patients 1 month of age or less who received supraglottoplasty. Demonstrate the feasibility and safety of supraglottoplasty in neonates <1 month of age. Methods: Charts were reviewed from 2015-2017. Patients with previously identified laryngomalacia requiring surgical intervention and age 1 month or less were identified. We collected data on age, gender, surgical technique, other airway lesions, time to extubation and discharge, and comorbidities. Results: Six patients met the inclusion criteria of which four were male and two were female. Average age at time of surgery was 19.5 days. All patients had diagnosis of laryngomalacia made on flexible or direct laryngoscopy with increased work of breathing, reports of cyanotic episodes, or oxygen desaturations. All had feeding difficulties, and three had signs and history consistent with gastroesophageal reflux. Two patients underwent supraglottoplasty by CO2 laser treatment alone, one patient received cold steel treatment alone, and the remaining three patients received cold steel with supplemental microdebrider treatment. Out of six patients, five were extubated within 5 days of their procedure. The average time to extubation was 1.8 days. The average time to discharge was 24.25 days following surgery. Two patients required revisions. Conclusions: Supraglottoplasty in children younger than 1 month of age is rare. Despite the rare occurrence, it appears to be feasible early in life in treating laryngomalacia. Neonates with respiratory failure, apneas, and cyanosis, or difficulty feeding due to laryngomalacia should be evaluated and treated with supraglottoplasty.
