Khresmoi multilingual medical text analysis, search and machine translation connected in a thriving data-value chain

The overall objective of the KConnect project is to create a medical text Data-Value Chain with a critical mass of participating companies using cutting-edge commercial cloud-based services for multilingual Semantic Annotation, Semantic Search and Machine Translation of Electronic Health Records and medical publications. 
The commercial cloud-based services will be the result of productisation of the multilingual medical text processing tools developed in the Khresmoi FP7 project, allowing wide adoption of these tools by industry. The critical mass will be created by the KConnect Professional Services Community, which will consist of at least 30 companies by the end of the project. These companies will be trained to build solutions based on the KConnect Services, hence serving as multipliers for commercial exploitation of the KConnect services.
The KConnect project will facilitate the straightforward adaptation of the commercialised services to new languages by providing toolkits enabling the adaptation to be done by by people having a software engineering skillset, as opposed to the rarer language engineering skillset. The KConnect services will also be adapted to handle text in Electronic Health Records, which is particularly challenging due to misspellings, neologisms, organisation-specific acronyms, and heavy use of negation and hedging. 
The consortium is driven by a core group of four innovative SMEs following complementary business perspectives related to medical text analysis and search. These companies will build solutions for their customers based on KConnect technology. Two partners from the medical domain will use KConnect services to solve their medical record analysis challenges. Two highly-used medical search portal providers will implement the KConnect services to innovate the services offered by their search portals. Through these search portals, the KConnect technologies will be used by over 1 million European citizens before the end of the project

Semi-automated Ontology Creation for Semantic Search in Business Process Exploration

In a globalized economy with lean production structures well documented processes are more important for companies than ever. But not all processes can be documented in advance. In complex processes, unforeseen errors can arise and have often to be dealt with in an improvised manner. And if these errors happen regularly, they might point out problems in the company's core processes. In order to find these problems one first has to analyze the aforementioned improvised error handling processes. If they occur regularly, it is likely that they hint at a problem. Finding these undocumented error handling processes is, however, not an easy task as they are undocumented. One strategy is to start with a single instance of such process and search for similar instances to generalize a process structure from these instances. On major problem is that most steps of these processes are manual and thus involve natural language in a context specific to each step of the process. This paper shows how ad-hoc ontology snippets can be generated from corporate data such as organization structures to tune automatic document processing for the analysis of each process step separately.

No Association Between p21 Gene rs1059234 Polymorphisms and Risk of Endometrial Cancer Among Han Women in Northeast China

Objective of the study is to find the association between p21 rs1059234 polymorphisms and endometrial cancer in Han women from Northeast China. Genotyping of rs1059234 in the p21 gene was performed by sequencing and PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) of peripheral blood samples in 263 endometrial cancer patients (case group) and 315 healthy subjects (control group). C allele frequency of rs1059234 was significantly increased in patients of the case group when compared with that in the control group (P = 0.039). The CC genotype frequency of rs1059234 was also significantly increased in patients of case group (0.335, vs. 0.219, P = 0.045). CC genotype increased the risk of endometrial cancer (OR = 1.589, 95%CI: 1.010-2.502). However, after corrected with regression analysis, the CC genotype did not increase the risk of endometrial cancer (OR = 1.623, 95% CI: 0.720-3.659, P = 0.243). Our study demonstrates that in Han women from Northeast China, there is no association between rs1059234 polymorphism of p21 gene and risk of endometrial cancer.

Seasonal characteristics of indoor and outdoor fine particles and their metallic compositions in Nanjing, China

Abstract Frequent hazy weather across China has increased public concern about the health consequences of indoor and outdoor fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and absorbed metal components. However, few studies have been conducted on the multi-seasonal characteristics of indoor PM2.5 and its metallic composition in China. To fill this research gap, we selected a playground and classroom at the Nanjing Foreign Language School as outdoor and indoor sample sites, respectively. Samples were collected with a portable particulate monitor for four seasons (2015–2016) to obtain real-time PM2.5 records and were further analyzed by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) to characterize seven typical metallic elements. Considerable seasonal variability was observed in outdoor PM2.5 levels. The highest real-time outdoor PM2.5 mass concentrations were observed in winter (148.6 ± 52.3 μg/m3), and the lowest was observed in summer (15.1 ± 6.6 μg/m3). Due to the protective effects of the enclosed system, the indoor PM2.5 levels in the classroom did not synchronously vary with the outdoor levels, except in autumn. This result was inconsistent with prior findings regarding the indoor-outdoor relationships at urban residences and might be associated with unique characteristics of indoor sources in classrooms, which highlights the importance of this study. Moreover, indoor-sourcing PM2.5 had lower metallic compositions than outdoor-originating PM2.5. Pb was the dominant metal component in both indoor and outdoor PM2.5 in all seasons with the range of 14.93–109.14 ng/m3. Overall, metal contents in Nanjing were lower than other Chinese cities; however, the government cannot neglect the associated dangers because China has relatively lax environmental quality standards.
An evolutionary approach to automated norm synthesis for multi agent systems

The field of multi-agent systems (MAS) is concerned with the theory, design, and implementation of systems of semi-autonomous software agents that operate in an environment, and typically have conflicting goals. A key issue in such domains is that of coordination: how to design agents to minimise any potential negative aspects of their interactions, and to maximise any potential positive aspects. A key approach to coordination is that of normative systems. A normative system defines constraints on the behaviour of agents to coordinate their interactions. This research programme is at the intersection of normative systems design and evolutionary game theory (EGT). EGT studies how evolutionary forces can lead populations to game theoretic solutions, and has been useful in understanding, for example the distributions of populations of species in habitats. The hypotheses of this project are that (1) EGT can provide a useful mathematical framework to model and understand normative systems in MAS; and (2) EGT techniques can provide a powerful framework to engineer normative systems for MAS. Thus, norm synthesis will consist of an evolutionary process in which most successful norms will prosper, while unsuccessful norms will be naturally discarded. The tools used to understand such norms will be solution concepts from EGT - notably the concept of an evolutionarily stable strategy. In this project we will develop both frameworks for understanding EGT for normative systems design and to synthesise normative systems for MAS, and we will empirically investigate our techniques in the context of two application domains. To carry out this project the fellow will be trained in classical game theory and EGT. To this aim he will benefit from supervision of Prof Michael Wooldridge, and collaboration with his research group in Oxford. This project will develop science and will contribute to the development of the fellow's career plan to become an independent researcher.
Effect of leucine enkephalin administration on ovarian maturation in the freshwater crab Travancoriana schirnerae

The current study focused on the effect of administration of the neurotransmitter leucine enkephalin on ovarian maturation in the freshwater crab Travancoriana schirnerae .  The crabs were administered with leucine enkephalin in multiple doses (10 µl/injection) and their dissected ovaries were processed for histomorphological analyses. Ovarian maturation was assessed by both macroscopic and microscopic observations such as ovarian index, mean oocyte diameter, oocyte proportion values and histological examinations of the ovaries of control and treated crabs. Our observations revealed significantly higher ovarian index, oocyte diameter and oocyte proportion values in treatments over controls. Leucine enkephalin treatment induced previtellogenic ovary to grow into primary vitellogenic, primary vitellogenic to secondary vitellogenic 1 secondary vitellogenic 1 and 2 to secondary vitellogenic 3 stage as evinced by the presence of a large number of primary previtellogenic ovaries in previtellogenic oocytes, larger proportion of secondary vitellogenic oocytes in primary vitellogenic ovaries and secondary vitellogenic stage 3 oocytes in secondary vitellogenic stage 1 ovaries of treated crabs over the controls. The conversion of previtellogenic ovary to early vitellogenic, early to middle and middle to late vitellogenic ovaries in treated crabs probably indicate the stimulatory effect of leucine enkephalin on ovaries either by triggering the release of the gonad stimulating hormone synthesized and released from the brain or thoracic ganglion or by blocking the release of the gonad inhibiting hormone synthesized and secreted by the X organ-sinus gland complex of the eyestalks or both. The results of the present study clearly indicate that leucine enkephalin has a stimulatory effect on ovarian maturation in T. schirnerae , thus shortening the period of maturation of ovary, which can be utilized in large-scale production of the species concerned. Further studies are needed to check the efficacy of this neurotransmitter as a supplement in diet to induce ovarian maturation of this species.

A new paradigm in boosting orphan crops to super grains: linking metabolomics and gene editing to improve teff for global food security and sustainable agriculture

Food security is one of the prime concerns of the world as the production is affected by increase in demand for cereal crops as food and bioenergy resources. In order to maximize productivity, one strategy is to identify and improve indigenous crops (orphan crops) which are often ignored. Orphan crops (e.g. teff, millet) possess better nutritional and adaptive traits than other cereal crops (e.g. rice, wheat). Teff, Ethiopia’s most important indigenous cereal crop is recently gaining attention among farmers and consumers over other cereals due to its natural gluten-free nature and its adaptation to tough environmental conditions. The high market price for its grains and straw make it a valuable cash crop but has received less attention on research and funding. The main objective of “SUPERTEFF” is to apply omics and gene editing strategies for the improvement of teff. The key objectives of the study are (1) characterization of disparate teff germplasm for agronomically important traits using image-based phenomics (2) to explore the nutrient diversity in teff cultivars using high-throughput metabolomics (3) metabolite-genome-wide association studies (m-GWAS) to understand the genotype to phenotype relation (4) to develop a CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing platform in teff with prime focus to lodging. The proposed study will provide a new paradigm in linking metabolic status to gene expression and will provide valid targets for CRISPR gene editing strategies in teff to convert it from an orphan crop to a super crop which will bare comparison to other established cereal crops. The outputs of this project will result in bridging the gap between orphan crops and other cereal crops in terms of sustainable yield and resilience to environmental conditions, whereby addressing the growing concerns of farmers and consumers across the globe. This project aims to strengthen the EU economy, by placing it in the fore-front of global food security and sustainable agriculture.
David Geoffrey Dalgliesh

David Geoffrey Dalgliesh , naval surgeon was born on 22 March 1922 to Kenneth and Ellen Dalgliesh. With three sisters and a younger brother he grew up in Sidcup, Kent, in semi-rural surroundings of gardens, fields and woodlands where he developed a lasting love of natural history. Aged nine he learnt woodwork, a manual skill that re-emerged later in his gift for surgery. He attended Merchant Taylor's School until 1939, taking the 1st MB examination in preparation for entering medical school. When World War II began in September 1939 he was of military age but compulsorily reserved as a future doctor. After a gap year as agricultural labourer, fire watcher and founder member of the Local Defence Volunteers (forerunner of the Home Guard), David joined St Thomas's Hospital Medical School in 1940. His early months of study coincided with the London blitz, in which every city hospital was fully involved and severely tested. Later he served in emergency dressing stations, set up in southern England to treat casualties returning from the Normandy invasion. On graduating MRCS and LRCP in 1946, David had gained an unusual but invaluable practical training in emergency medicine.
PRECISE HAIR DYEING SET WITH HAIR LOCK FASTENER

The precise hair dyeing set with the hair lock fastener comprises of an injector and a hair lock fastener. The injector uses replaceable flexible cartridges (7) filled with dye components. When a pressure to cartridge's walls is applied, components are extracted. The pressure is created by springs (51) (60) or by the pressure of the slider (6) which slides manually, by a springs force or by an electro motor. Opening vaults (4) enables component's extraction from the flexible cartridge (7) into the spiral mixer (2), where they mix and then soak the sponge tip (1) which is used to lay the dye on a hair.? The fastener consists of two hemispheres with arms. By pressing arms, hemispheres open to create space between them. The protective foil (70) shaped as a tape with a self-adhesive element at its beginning is fixed to edges (74) of the fastener. A hair lock is placed between hemispheres, arms are released and the fastener closes and fastens the hair lock with the foil (70) underneath it. After dyeing a hair lock, the protective foil (70) is folded over the hair lock and seals it.
