Ai accelerator – a smart hospital care pathway engine

Healthcare systems lack flexible AI solutions that allow hospitals to improve efficiency and the quality of patient care. Current solutions provide limited scalability and are confined to isolated applications. Scalable models that address data sharing, integration, privacy, and ethics are needed to to ensure better adoption of AI in healthcare. The AICCELERATE project introduces an approach for scaling up AI-enabled digital solutions for different hospital use cases. AICCELERATE will develop partners’ existing digital solutions further to enable the development of a Smart Hospital Care Pathway (SHCP) Engine. This engine serves as a toolset for AI models and robotics to improve quality of care and health outcomes. It will also enable lean management and effective decision-making. These tools are tested in three pilots that (will) provide feedback for improving the SHCP Engine: (i) patient flow management for ER and surgical units, (ii) digital care pathway for Parkinson’s disease, and (iii) paediatric service delivery. AICCELERATE provides an adaptable model for varied clinical use cases to enhance patient-centric digital care pathways and to optimize patient flow management. Patient empowerment and evidence-based trust towards AI is a key part of the project.

The pilots are carried out by 5 hospital partners: Helsinki Univ. Hospital and Oulu Univ. Hospital in Finland, Ospedale Pediatrico Bambino Gesù in Italy, Barcelona Children's Hospital in Spain, and Univ. hospital Università degli Studi di Padova in Italy. The other partners of the consortium consist of; Erasmus Univ. Rotterdam from Netherlands, a RTO Fundació Eurecat from Spain, a Spanish non-profit TICBioMed, 6 SMEs aiming to advance the digitalization of the European healthcare services: Chino from Italy, Symptoma from Austria, Nuromedia from Germany, SRDC from Turkey, Evondos from Finland, NeuroPath from Belgium, and 2 large enterprises NEC Laboratories Europe from Germany and Innofactor from Finland.
Identification and Quantification of Tax Reliefs in the Czech Republic in the Year 2008

Tax reliefs (tax expenditures) in the Czech Republic, as well as in other countries, are frequent topic of political and public finance discussion. Sometimes they are presented in a positive spirit as administratively inexpensive tool for promoting desirable public policies. More often, however, they are presented negatively, as an exception, which complicates the tax system and causes distortions. This article aims to identify and quantify the tax reliefs (tax expenditures) of the three major taxes in the Czech Republic in 2008: personal income tax, corporation tax and value added tax. Unlike in many other OECD member countries, in the Czech Republic, tax expenditures have not been quantified and published yet; this contributions is therefore a first attempt to quantify them. For calculation we used the reference law approach and the revenue forgone method.

Turning waste from steel industry into a valuable low cost feedstock for energy intensive industry

The RESLAG project proposal is aligned with the challenges outlined in the call WASTE-1-2014: Moving towards a circular economy through industrial symbiosis. 
In 2010, the European steel industry generated, as waste, about 21.8 Mt of steel slag. The 76 % of the slag was recycled in applications such as aggregates for construction or road materials, but these sectors were unable to absorb the total amount of produced slag. The remaining 24 % was landfilled (2.9 Mt) or self-stored (2.3 Mt). The landfilled slag represents a severe environmental problem. 
The main aim of RESLAG is to prove that there are industrial sectors able to make an effective use of the 2.9 Mt/y of landfilled slag, if properly supported by the right technologies. In making this prof, the RESLAG project will also prove that there are other very important environmental benefits coming from an “active” use of the slag in industrial processes, as CO2 saving (up to 970 kt/y from CSP applications, at least 71 kg/ton of produced steel from heat recovery applications), and elimination of negative impacts associated with mining (from the recovery of valuable metals and from the production of ceramic materials).
To achieve this ambitious goal four large-scale demonstrations to recycle steel slag are considered: Extraction of non-ferrous high added metals; TES for heat recovery applications; TES to increase dispatchability of the CSP plant electricity; Production of innovative refractory ceramic compounds. 
Overall, the RESLAG project aims at an innovative organizational steel by-products management model able to reach high levels of resource and energy efficiency, which considers a cascade of upgrading processes and a life cycle perspective.
All these demonstrations will be lead by the industries involved in the RESLAG consortium. The RESLAG project is supported by the main organizations representing energy-intensive industries, CSP sector, energy platforms, governments, etc.
Chasm at East African Suswa Rift: Possible Explanations

A chasm reported on Suswa area of African rift zone during the last week of March 2018 and widely published as “Africa is splitting”. We studied the chasm and the surrounding region using differential interferometry technique to understand the ground deformation during this period. We did not observe any significant ground deformation in the interferogram at the chasm location. Interestingly, we observed a vertical deformation of 5–7.5 cm along the line of sight of the satellite along the fault located at Mosiro, Suswa region, between March 15–27 (subsidence) and March 27–April 04, 2018 (surface uplift). We present the analyses and discuss the factors that led to the surface deformation and possible association with the reported chasm in the East African rift system.

Resolution of reservoir scale electrical anisotropy from marine CSEM data

A combination of 1D and 3D forward and inverse solutions is used to quantify the sensitivity and resolution of conventional controlled source electromagnetic (CSEM) data collected using a horizontal electric dipole source to transverse electric anisotropy located in a deep-water exploration reservoir target. Because strongly anisotropic shale layers have a vertical resistivity that can be comparable to many reservoirs, we examined how CSEM can discriminate confounding shale layers through their characteristically lower horizontal resistivity. Forward modeling indicated that the sensitivity to reservoir level anisotropy is very low compared with the sensitivity to isotropic reservoirs, especially when the reservoir is deeper than about 2 km below the seabed. However, for 1D models where the number of inversion parameters can be fixed to be only a few layers, both vertical and horizontal resistivity of the reservoir can be well resolved using a stochastic inversion. We found that the resolution of horizontal resistivity increases as the horizontal resistivity decreases. This effect is explained by the presence of strong horizontal current density in anisotropic layers with low horizontal resistivity. Conversely, when the reservoir has a vertical to horizontal resistivity ratio of about 10 or less, the current density is vertically polarized and hence has little sensitivity to the horizontal resistivity. Resistivity anisotropy estimates from 3D inversion for 3D targets suggest that resolution of reservoir level anisotropy for 3D targets will require good a priori knowledge of the background sediment conductivity and structural boundaries.
Improved means for loading vehicles, which means may also be used for lifting

744,305. Shovelling apparatus. WOOD, R. L. Dec. 11, 1953 [Dec. 12, 1952], No. 31548/52. Class 68(1) [Also in Group XXX] Arms a carrying a skip j or other loadsupporting device are swung about their pivots' b<SP>1</SP> at one end of a vehicle by links c connected to the mechanism normally used to tip the vehicle body f, or to similar mechanism where the vehicle body does not tip. As illustrated the arms are adjustably connected at c<SP>l</SP> to the links c which are pivoted to a cross member d raised and lowered by rams e to tip the body f. The cross member d carries plates g<SP>2</SP> carrying rollers g<SP>1</SP> by which it is guided on members h on the tip-body. The plates g<SP>2</SP> are locked to the members h by pins g' when the body is to be tipped. Pivoting of the skip j relatively to the arms a is limited by pine j' engaging members j<SP>2</SP> on the arms. The pins b<SP>1</SP> forming the pivots for the arms a may be inserted in any of a series of holes in channel members b fixed to the front of the vehicle frame. In an alternative construction (Fig. 2, not shown), the arms a are pivoted at the rear of the vehicle so that the skip j is carried at the front, and the arms may be adapted for connection at either end. The skip j may be replaced by a shovel, a platform, a snow plough, a crane jib, a roller for supporting baulks of timber, or chains for supporting a damaged vehicle. The arms a may be tubular or telescopic in construction and may be replaced by hydraulic or pneumatic rams so that the bucket j can be forced into a load.

Oncoworm: using functional genomics in highly regenerative flatworms to find novel cancer genes

This project will take direct action in exploiting the powerful planarian model system to achieve novel insights into the molecular processes underpinning oncogenesis and cancer. Based on the principle that biochemical and physiological functions of many genes are conserved across phyla we will identify planarian genes that control the migration, proliferation and differentiation of the highly proliferative pluripotent adult stem cells (pASCs). We will combine a bespoke specially designed partial irradiation assay, bioinformatic and expression based candidate gene identification and the capacity to perform RNAi based screens of gene function to identify novel genes controlling pASCs that are conserved in humans. Those novel genes of greatest promise will then be studied in mammalian cancer cell lines using the insight gleaned from planarians. This project brings together, for the first time, a world-class planarian laboratory with an eminent cancer cell biologist, Dr Kosaka, who will acquire all the expertise required to exploit the planarian system and at the same time transfer his extensive knowledge of cancer biology to the Aboobaker laboratory.
An ml approach to ifis: determinants of imf lending

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) is frequently argued to be an agent of its most powerful shareholders. Challenging the common belief that strategic allies of the US and/or G5 countries always get better deals from the IMF, whereas it is the IMF staff who has the main leverage over the design of conditionality when low-income countries are borrowing from the Fund, this project will develop a novel framework, drawing upon existing literature on the IMF, in order to present a comprehensive model that takes into account all actors having an impact on IMF program design. The following questions will be at the core of this research: What factors influence the terms of an IMF program? And how do those factors play into shaping the design of the programs? Through creating an original framework, the project will aim to provide an indispensable and extensible tool for international political economy researchers, policymakers, governments and IMF staff to model the program design and implementation process with high predictive power of the outcomes. The project will make a major contribution to the literature by creating a machine learning (ML) model for predicting the loan size, number of IMF conditions and waivers during program implementation, which complements traditional statistical models by integrating a larger number of variables and providing high accuracy of prediction. The project will also create a natural language processing (NLP) tool for automated, fast analysis of the IMF’s Executive Board meeting minutes, which is able to capture elements including individual board member sentiments, alliance between representatives of different countries and G5 stance with high accuracy. The research will take on board an eclectic approach, using mixed methods involving ML, NLP, statistical analyses, and process tracing of in-depth case studies (namely Romania and Greece) to account for the variation in the terms of IMF programs.
Real-world prescribing patterns among newly diagnosed COPD patients receiving ICS: An analysis of UK patient dataset

Introduction 

Real-life prescribing patterns for COPD patients may differ from GOLD strategy recommendations. This study examined prescribing patterns during one year prior to and including initial date of COPD diagnosis during study interval from 1997 to 2010, without asthma as comorbidity in different GOLD 2013 categories (GOLD A=low risk, less symptoms; GOLD B=low risk, more symptoms; GOLD C=high risk, less symptoms; GOLD D=high risk, more symptoms).

Methods 

This retrospective observational cohort study used data from a large UK patient dataset Optimum Patient Care Research that included 387 primary care practices across UK. Patients (n=16,185) were included in the analysis who were ≥40 years of age and diagnosed since 1997 with 1 year of pre- and 2 years of post-diagnosis data and spirometry supportive of COPD (FEV1/FVC<0.7).

Results 

Of the patients with known GOLD group, 79.9% did not have asthma. At the time of diagnosis, an ICS containing regimen was prescribed to 37.2% of these patients, while 32% did not receive any treatment for COPD. Prescribing patterns of COPD (non-asthma) patients with ICS containing regimens using GOLD classification was 32.8%, 36%, 42.9% and 45.8% in GOLD A, B, C, and D patients respectively.

Conclusion 

Contrary to GOLD strategy, many patients in GOLD categories A and B without asthma comorbidity are prescribed and remained on ICS containing regimen regardless of risk of exacerbations, symptoms and lung function. Many patients with COPD also remained untreated after initial diagnosis.
Information Exploration in Search Computing

Search computing queries typically address search tasks that go beyond a single interaction. In this paper, we show a query paradigm that supports multi-step, exploratory search over multiple Web data sources. Our paradigm requires users to be aware of searching over interconnected with given semantics, but each exploration step is simplified as much as possible, by presenting to users at each step simple interfaces, offering some choices that can be supported by the system; choices include moving forward, by adding new objects to the search, or backward, by excluding some objects from the search; and the selection and de-selection of displayed results in order to dynamically manipulate the result set. For supporting exploration, we designed a new architectural element, called query orchestrator, which connects the user interface module with the execution engine; the orchestrator maintains the history of the query session and caches query results for reuse at subsequent interactions.
The Status of Ethnobotanical Knowledge of Medicinal Plants and the Impacts of Resettlement in Delanta, Northwestern Wello, Northern Ethiopia

The present study was conducted in Delanta (Ethiopia) to examine the use of medicinal plants and investigate the impacts of the 1984/85 resettlement program on the local people’s knowledge on herbal medicine and its uses. The research was conducted with 72 informants in six study sites through semistructured interviews, group discussion, and market survey. In this study, 133 species belonging to 116 genera and 57 families were documented. These plants were mentioned for uses in the treatment of about 76 human and livestock ailments. The family Asteraceae was represented by the highest number with 14 species. Herbs accounted for 52.6% of the total species and leaves (32.6%) were the most frequently used parts. The analysis showed that the resettlement program has both positive and negative impacts on nature rehabilitation and local knowledge along with many human induced threats. Most of the plant knowledge is held by traditional healers and permanent residents. The people’s preference for some medicinal plants gave indications of continuity of the ethnomedicinal information among the inhabitants. The findings inform that efforts need to be directed to in situ conservation in two of the plant community types which could protect a good proportion (about 50%) of the medicinal plant species.

Design considerations for tropical forest inventories

Forests contribute substantially to maintaining the global greenhouse gas balance, primarily because among the five economic sectors identified by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, only the forestry sector has the potential to remove greenhouse gas emissions from the atmosphere. In this context, development of national forest carbon accounting systems, particularly in countries with tropical forests, has emerged as an international priority. Because these systems are often developed as components of or in parallel with national forest inventories, a brief review of statistical issues related to the development of forest ground sampling designs is provided. This overview addresses not only the primary issues of plot configurations and sampling designs, but also to a lesser extent the emerging roles of remote sensing and uncertainty assessment. Basic inventory principles are illustrated for two case studies, the national forest inventory of Brazil with special emphasis on the state of Santa Catarina, and an inventory for Tanzania.
