Background

Assessing patients’ suicide risk is challenging, especially among those who deny suicidal ideation. Primary care providers have poor agreement in screening suicide risk. Patients’ speech may provide more objective, language-based clues about their underlying suicidal ideation. Text analysis to detect suicide risk in depression is lacking in the literature.

Objective

This study aimed to determine whether suicidal ideation can be detected via language features in clinical interviews for depression using natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning (ML).

Methods

This cross-sectional study recruited 305 participants between October 2020 and May 2022 (mean age 53.0, SD 11.77 years; female: n=176, 57%), of which 197 had lifetime depression and 108 were healthy. This study was part of ongoing research on characterizing depression with a case-control design. In this study, 236 participants were nonsuicidal, while 56 and 13 had low and high suicide risks, respectively. The structured interview guide for the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD) was adopted to assess suicide risk and depression severity. Suicide risk was clinician rated based on a suicide-related question (H11). The interviews were transcribed and the words in participants’ verbal responses were translated into psychologically meaningful categories using Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC).

Results

Ordinal logistic regression revealed significant suicide-related language features in participants’ responses to the HAMD questions. Increased use of anger words when talking about work and activities posed the highest suicide risk (odds ratio [OR] 2.91, 95% CI 1.22-8.55; P=.02). Random forest models demonstrated that text analysis of the direct responses to H11 was effective in identifying individuals with high suicide risk (AUC 0.76-0.89; P<.001) and detecting suicide risk in general, including both low and high suicide risk (AUC 0.83-0.92; P<.001). More importantly, suicide risk can be detected with satisfactory performance even without patients’ disclosure of suicidal ideation. Based on the response to the question on hypochondriasis, ML models were trained to identify individuals with high suicide risk (AUC 0.76; P<.001).

Conclusions

This study examined the perspective of using NLP and ML to analyze the texts from clinical interviews for suicidality detection, which has the potential to provide more accurate and specific markers for suicidal ideation detection. The findings may pave the way for developing high-performance assessment of suicide risk for automated detection, including online chatbot-based interviews for universal screening.

BACKGROUND

Myocardial injury after non-cardiac surgery (MINS) is an easily overlooked complication but closely related to postoperative cardiovascular adverse outcomes, so the improved risk prediction tools are critically needed.

OBJECTIVE

To develop and validate an explainable machine learning model for predicting MINS in older patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery.

METHODS

The retrospective cohort study assessed operations performed on non-cardiac surgical older patients at center 1 in the training set. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) method and recursive feature elimination (RFE) methods were used to select key features. Prediction performance was measured by the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) as the main evaluation metric to select the best algorithms. Validation data from the two datasets were explored to validate the performance of the model and the developed model was compared with the RCRI model. The SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) method was applied to calculate values for each feature, representing the contribution to the predicted risk of complication, and generate personalized explanations.

RESULTS

A total of 12424 patients were included in training set, 4754 in center 1, 2245 in center 2 were included as validating sets. The best-performing model for prediction was CatBoost algorithm, achieving an AUC of 0.805 (95% confidence interval, 0.778–0.831) in the training set, and validating with an AUC of 0.780 in center 1, 0.70 in center 2, with superior performance compared to RCRI (AUC:0.636, P<0.01). The SHAP values indicated the ranking of the level of importance of each variable, and preoperative serum creatinine concentration, red blood cell distribution width, and age accounted for the top three. The results from SHAP method can make predictions towards event with a positive values or non-event with negative value and an explicit explanation of individualized risk prediction.

CONCLUSIONS

The Catboost model demonstrated superior capability of predicting individual-level risk of MINS, and the explainable perspective can allow identification of potentially modifiable sources of risk on patient level.

Authors: Nugrahini Arita Dewi , Prasanti Ferninda Berliana , Noviani Putri
Published: December 2023

Roasting process is the most important process in processing Phaleria macrocarpa (also called as Mahkota Dewa/God’s Crown) into dried tea product. It aims to change the color, texture, and reduce the water content of Phaleria macrocarpa to extend the shelf life and simplify the distribution and serving process. This study aims to determine the effects of temperature and time in the roasting process on the physicochemical properties of Phaleria macrocarpa including water content, color, texture, and their effect on antioxidant activity (AOA) using DPPH method. The design experiment for this study was by varying the treatments at temperature of 80℃, 100℃, and 120℃ and time at 40, 60, and 80 minutes in the process of roasting Phaleria macrocarpa fruit. Furthermore, the tea of Phaleria macrocarpa produced in each treatment and the standard samples from the industry were analyzed for its physicochemical properties and antioxidant activities. The results of multiple regression analysis showed that the correlation coefficient (r value) between the variables of temperature and time on water content, color, and AOA was 0.827; 0.944; and 0.886 respectively. Increasing temperature and roasting time caused a decrease in water content, color and AOA; however, multiple regression analysis showed a weak correlation between temperature and time on the texture of Phaleria macrocarpa with a correlation coefficient (r value) of 0.095. The best treatment based on research that has been done was found at a temperature of 100℃ for 60 minutes with a total score of effectiveness index (EI) of 0.688. In this treatment it was found the average water content at 1.31 ± 0.20%, lightness at 21.80, redness at 5.10, yellowness at 9.65, texture at 1.16 kgf, and AOA at 82.33 ± 0.30%. Meanwhile, the best physicochemical characteristics and AOA based on the effectiveness index showed results close to the standard sample test values. The slight difference was found in the value of the water content in which at the same temperature and roasting time it showed different values between the test samples and standard samples. The water content in standard samples showed a higher value, probably due to poor storage process. Hence, it is deemed necessary to improve the storage process of Phaleria macrocarpa tea product on industrial scale.

Authors: Rahmawati Wulan , Wahyudin Mohammad
Published: December 2023

PT Perkebunan Nusantara VIII Pasirmalang (PTPN VIII) is one of the tea processing industries that has successfully become a black tea powder stakeholder. The high demand did not cause the achievement of tea processing results to increase. In fact, the achievement of product output in 2020 was always below the production target. The pandemic conditions at that time also affected the activities of black tea processing. The company has not conducted further analysis on what factors cause unstable production. Therefore, it is necessary to measure productivity in production to see the company's performance. The method used is the Objective Matrix (OMAX) method by identifying the company's performance value with various input factors used. The productivity calculation focuses on 3 inputs, namely raw materials, electrical energy, and labor. The results of measuring productivity in the production process using the OMAX method show that during 2020 the highest occurred in December 2020 and the lowest achievement in February 2020.
Impact of the US-China Trade War on Foreign Trade of Emerging Economies: Brazil, South Africa, and Indonesia
Authors: Kurniawan Andi , Rizal Luthfi Khoirur
Published: December 2023

The study analyses the potential impacts of the US-China trade war on the foreign trade of emerging economies, i.e., Indonesia, Brazil, and South Africa, and their foreign economic policies to obtain alternative markets outside the US and China. These countries were chosen because they have similar industrial characteristics and robust commercial relationships with the US and China. This study uses desk review approach and secondary data analysis from the International Trade Center (ITC) Database, the WTO Tariff Database, and the Peterson Institute of International Economics (PIIE). The impacts were portrayed in several views: triangular trade structure, global value chain, China+1, and Global South relationship. In the context of a triangular trade structure with China as the mediator, Indonesia’s and Brazil's trade was relatively secure since they exported considerable natural resources to China. At the same time, they could maintain positive trade performance with the US and China owing to the global value chain. South Africa has extensive imports of intermediate goods from the US and China, mainly for the automotive sector and further processed for the African market. However, since the significant position of the US as a trading partner, Indonesia, Brazil, and South Africa were potentially exposed to protectionism behavior. Indonesia benefits significantly from the US General System Preferences (GSP) trade facilities for developing countries. The consistent trade surplus has raised critical concerns from the US government regarding Indonesian exports. Therefore, the escalation has also enhanced cooperation in the Global South, including the Brazil-led Mercosur free trade negotiation with Singapore and Indonesia's preferential trade agreement with Pakistan and Bangladesh.

Order Reduction using Basic Characteristics and Factor Division Method
Authors: . Naaz
Published: December 2023

Abstract: The authors propose a mixed method for reducing the order of the high order dynamic systems. In this method, the denominator polynomial of the reduced order model is obtained by using the basic characteristics of the higher order system which are maintained in the reduced model while the coefficients of the numerator are obtained by using factor division method. This method is fundamentally simple and generates stable reduced models if the original high-order system is stable. The proposed method is illustrated with the help of the numerical example taken from the literature.

Зарождение Санкт-Петербургской агломерации. Закономерности начального этапа урбанизации.
Authors: Панибратов Юрий , Лавров Леонид , Молоткова Елена
Published: December 2023

Статья представляет собой первую часть публикации, в которой закономерности возникновения и начального этапа развития крупной градостроительной структуры рассматриваются на примере территорий в дельте Невы и в восточной части Финского залива. Подчёркивается высокая неоднородность доступной информационной базы, отмечаются существенные расхождения в трактовке базовых определений и терминов, поэтому методика исследования – расчленение изучаемого объекта на простейшие структуры, сочетаемое с системным анализом. Привлечены количественные данные о создававшейся инфраструктуре, её «технико-экономических показателях». Выявляется связь процессов урбанизации с реформированием государственной территориально-хозяйственной и административно-управленческой структуры. Показано, что основными детерминантами развития города были местная гидрология, безграничность фонда казённых земель и относительная автоном-ность основных застройщиков – государственных ведомств. Подчёркивается роль менявшихся условий финансирования и постепенное поглощение территориальных ресурсов. Как рубежные этапы градостроительного развития выделяются вторая половина XVIII века (исчерпан потенциал природного каркаса освоения территории) и начало XIX (прекращено бесплатное выделение земельных наделов). Акцентируется внимание на полицентричности формировавшейся в дельте Невы градострои-тельной структуры и принципиальной неоднородности составляющих её элементов.

Authors: Almashaqbeh Ma’in Khaled , Mohamad Nor Raihan , Taha Roshaiza
Published: December 2023

This study investigates the impact of ownership structure on the firm’s value of Jordanian companies listed in the Amman Stock Exchange (ASE) between 2020 and 2022. The study uses yearly financial reports to collect data on institutional ownership, family ownership, firm value, leverage, company size, liquidity, and profitability. The findings indicate that institutional ownership and family ownership strongly correlate with firm value. The results indicate that good institutional ownership and family ownership are significant determinants in the firm value of Jordanian companies. To make reasonable judgments, it is recommended an attempt to re-study this topic, with the need to expand the scope of the sample to include all sectors operating in Jordan. The study also recommends the necessity of taking disclosure variables (such as voluntary disclosure) together with the ownership structure and knowing their effect on the firm value.

This research analyzed and compared administrators' supervisory and teachers' pedagogical skills concerning quality education in Public and Punjab Education Foundation Funded Schools at the secondary level, in line with the Vision of Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG-4) by 2025 (Minimum Standards for Quality Education in Pakistan, 2016). The research employed a descriptive method and adopted a quantitative approach. For this study, 248 head teachers were selected from public schools and 126 from Punjab Education Foundation Funded Schools via simple random sampling, making a total sample of 374 respondents. Data were collected using a five-response Likert scale and analyzed with SPSS, including mean, standard deviation, t-test, and f-test to assess the difference between administrators' supervisory and teachers' pedagogical skills towards quality education in both school types. The study concluded that administrators in public secondary schools exhibited better academic and professional qualifications and that both administrators' supervision and teachers' pedagogical skills were superior in public schools. Additionally, public schools were more aligned with the Minimum Quality Standards for Schooling to meet the vision of Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG-4) by 2025 for quality education compared to Punjab Education Foundation Funded Schools. It is recommended that the heads of Punjab Education Foundation-funded schools enhance their supervisory skills, while teachers should improve their pedagogical skills to align with the vision of Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG-4) by 2025.

Authors: Jamshidnia Maryam , Asgary Sedigheh , Rafieian-Kopaei Mahmoud
Published: December 2023

The aim of this study was to investigate the genetic variations of Iranian
Silybum marianum accessions using inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR)
markers. Twenty-nine accessions from various Iran regions and a sample from
Hungary were selected and evaluated by 19 ISSR primers. A clear banding
pattern was produced by 9 primers and a total of 85 repeatable polymorphic
bands were detected. ISSR7 and ISSR8 primers identified the most Polymorphic
Information Content (PIC) with 100% among primers. In the tested accessions,
polymorphism information content (0.45), polymorphic percentage (83 %), and
Shannon?s information index (0.53) assessed a high level of genetic
variation. Based on Jaccards distances, cluster analysis molecular traits
with unweighted pair group method with arithmetic mean (UPGMA) method were
taken into consideration, and accessions were grouped into nine clusters and
confirmed by principal coordinate analysis. Four clusters were identified by
a Bayesian structure analysis, and 12 individuals were maintained inside the
admixed clusters. According to the findings, ISSR marker system can be
considered as a powerful tool for detection of genetic diversity of
accessions in S. marianum. The results indicate existence of a high
variation among Iranian S. marianum accessions to start the breeding
programs.
Solanum pseudo-capsicum effects on Bax and Bcl-2 gene expression and apoptosis in MCF-7 cell line
Authors: Kavousi Mahsa , Delfani Afsaneh
Published: December 2023

In the present study, the effect of Solanum pseudo-capsicum extract on MCF-7
cell line was investigated. Control cell line in this study was HFF skin
fibroblast cell line. Cells have been exposed to the treatment for 24h, 48h
and 72 hours respectively. Then, the viability of dual cell lines was
assessed using MTT assay. Its results showed that 72-hour treatment with
plant extract at IC50 concentration had the greatest effect on cancer cell
death. Flow cytometry results showed that 48 hours of treatment with plant
extract at IC50 concentration, the highest rate of induced apoptosis occurs.
Then, Real time PCR test was performed to measure changes in the expression
of Bax and Bcl-2 genes The reference gene in this study was ?-actin. The
results of this study showed that in cancer cells treated with the plant
extract, the expression of Bax pro-apoptotic gene increased and the
expression of anti-apoptotic gene Bcl-2 decreased. Therefore, 72-hour
treatment had the greatest effect on increasing Bax gene expression and
decreasing Bcl-2 gene expression. Due to the lower side effects of plants
compared to conventional chemical drugs used in the treatment of cancer, it
is possible to take an effective step in the treatment of this disease by
using new methods in identifying effective plant compounds and purifying
them.
