Predicting UK Housing Price using Machine Learning Algorithms
Authors: GHAFOOR Mubeen , OGUNDEJI Gbadebo A. , PITTS Dilkushi de Alwis
Published: August 2024

The development of reliable predictive algorithm for house price as the housing market is a stand-out among the most involved regarding valuing the price and continues to fluctuate, is constantly a need for socio-economic advancement and welfare of citizen. In this paper, we develop machine learning algorithms for forecasting UK housing Price, and find an optimal algorithm that forecasts housing price accurately on the premises of the presence of many features or covariates. After applying correlation analysis to remove correlated variables in order to avoid multicollinearity, thereby increasing the statistical power, a novel method of using regression analysis to first of all understand and select statistically significant features for the various regions in England based on North South divide is adopted. These features are then used in the machine learning algorithm to further increase the statistical power of the algorithm, increase the level of accuracy for each of them and ultimately increase the predictive values for the algorithms.The model construction involves 3 stages: 1- correlation analysis to identify and remove correlated variables thereby avoiding multicollinearity and increasing the statistical power of the linear regression, 2 - using linear regression to determine variables that are statistically significant and 3 - building the machine learning algorithms based on the variables that are statistically significant from the linear regression. A comprehensive dataset of UK Paid housing Price from 2010 to 2019 was linked to a number of other datasets to generate a total 21 variables or features used for the models. Catboost, Gradient Boosting, Bagging, Random Forest, Extra Tree all achieved the excellent model’s performance result in all the regions considered. The comparison of the seven models showed that Extra Tree algorithm consistently achieved the best performance in term of level of accuracy in all the regions. K-Nearest Neighbours (KNN) is the only algorithm with less than 50% level of accuracy. Noticeably, the regions considered had varying or differing insignificant variables, implying that although many variables are common (statistically significant) to all the regions, there are regional differences and impact when modelling or predicting housing prices. This study validates the practicability of developing a machine learning methodology for the prediction of housing price. This research offers a reference for future house price prediction based on machine learning.© 2024 The Author(s). Published by RITHA Publishing.

Glucose Differences Between Continuous Glucose Monitor Brands and Application Sites
Authors: Pham Kevin C. , Liu Xiaohan , Shek Allen , Shah Sachin A.
Published: August 2024

Switching between continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) device brands and application sites is common in clinical practice. We hypothesized that the differences between CGM device measurements are significant enough to impact glycemic control interpretation. Current evidence has identified a trend of clinically meaningful differences between right- and left-arm CGM readings in one CGM device. We also hypothesized that application sites can affect glycemic control interpretation. A case study in which two adult males each wore three Dexcom G6 (right arm, left arm, abdomen) and two FreeStyle Libre Pro (right arm, left arm) CGM devices simultaneously for 10 days was conducted to explore performance differences between CGM devices and application sites. Our case report was consistent with both hypotheses as clinically meaningful differences were observed between time-matched, same-arm Dexcom G6 versus FreeStyle Libre Pro glucose readings and between time-matched FreeStyle Libre Pro right-arm versus left-arm glucose readings. Glycemic control was not significantly impacted by the three Dexcom G6 application sites.

Authors: John Michael , Vito-Antonio Held Juan , Sassor Nele , Wagner Michael
Published: August 2024

In our article, we introduce a method for the model-based analysis and development of telemonitoring applications for the German healthcare system. Based on data from two exemplary telemonitoring applications in the fields of Parkinson’s disease and heart failure, we show which barriers exist to the widespread introduction of digital health applications (DHA) and what positive effects a consistent digitization of the interacting IT components and process steps would have. The method presented combines approaches from process modeling using business process model and notation (BPMN) and the consistent application of quality metrics to the modeled processes, the actors involved, and the IT components used or to be developed. By modeling different evolutionary stages of digitalization of medical care processes, the positive effects and possible barriers in terms of resource consumption, effectiveness, security, and efficiency can be identified on the basis of the metrics used. The aim of the article is to use the developed methods to identify critical process steps at an early stage of product development or transition from a research project to standard care and to identify potential for improvement in the interaction between organizations, service providers, patients, and technology providers.
Surgical Ablation Techniques
Authors: L. Beckles Daniel
Published: August 2024

Atrial fibrillation is the most common arrhythmia affecting millions of people globally. The increasingly aging population and those with established cardiovascular risk factors (i.e., diabetes, obesity, hypertension, heart failure, and sleep apnea) are most susceptible to this arrhythmia and its dreaded complications. Although early detection, primary prevention, and anticoagulation are the most common treatment strategies, newer surgical technologies can halt disease progression, improve quality of life, and decrease mortality. While catheter ablation therapy has proven effective for new-onset paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, minimally invasive and aggressive surgical ablation procedures may offer another option for longstanding atrial fibrillation and recurrent atrial fibrillation that failed catheter ablation.

Published: August 2024

Since the use of non-traditional feedstuffs has become more popular in poultry production, the use of exogenous enzymes has become more crucial. In order to lower the cost of ration formulation, low protein diets and unconventional feedstuffs are now being used. Therefore, enzyme supplementation or fermented feedstuffs could release certain nutrients and increase their availability. In conclusion, the supplementation of exogenous enzymes may introduce a positive development in terms of poultry nutrition. For instance, it has been discovered that phytase supplementation may release phosphorus from phytate and reduce phosphorus excretion in broiler manure. In addition, fiber-degrading enzymes have been proven to improve broiler performance and reduce intestinal viscosity. Likewise, protein-degrading enzymes are beneficial in low-protein diets, as they decrease anti-nutritional factors in soybean meal, increase crude protein, amino acids digestibility and reduce nitrogen excretion and ammonia emission in broiler manure, which positively impacts the environment. The supplementation of mixed exogenous enzymes to broiler feed may lead to better utilization of the nutrients on behalf of the chickens. This chapter discusses the most common enzymes in the field of poultry production, such as β-glucanase, xylanase, mannanase, phytase, and protease.
“K Cramps,” Recurrent Abdominal Pain in a Patient with Chronic Ketamine Use: A Case Report
Authors: Avra Tucker , Torres Jesus , Vasudevan Kumar Felipe , Samuels Elizabeth A.
Published: August 2024

Introduction: Medical and nonmedical ketamine use is increasing in the United States. This will likely lead to an increase in emergency department (ED) visits in individuals experiencing associated side effects. Physicians will need to be able to effectively recognize and manage ketamine-related complications. Case Report: A 31-year-old male with a three-year history of inhalational, intramuscular, and intravenous nonmedical ketamine use presented to the ED twice within a week with symptoms of severe atraumatic back pain, abdominal pain, and dyspepsia. A comprehensive workup, including advanced imaging, was unrevealing for identiﬁable causes, and the patient was discharged with instructions for primary care follow-up for further evaluation. The patient used information shared on Reddit, an online forum and social network, to identify that the cause of his pain was related to chronic ketamine use. Subsequently, upon discontinuation of ketamine, the pain improved in 24 hours. The patient self-navigated to addiction treatment. Conclusion: Emergency physicians should consider sequelae of chronic ketamine use as a possible cause for gastrointestinal and urologic symptoms in the ED. In addition to thorough examination and assessment for other acute medical problems, patients should be offered education, symptomatic treatment, and linkage to harm reduction and substance use disorder treatment services.

Published: August 2024

The inaccurate detection of diabetes and hypertension causes’ time wastage and a cost burden due to higher amounts of medicine intake and health problems. The previous works did not investigate machine learning (ML)-based diabetic and hypertension patient prediction by using multiple characteristics. This paper utilizes ML algorithms to predict the presence of diabetes and hypertension in patients. By analyzing patient data, including medical records, symptoms, and risk factors, the proposed system can provide accurate predictions for early detection and intervention. This paper makes a list of eighteen characteristics that can be used for data set preparation. With a classification accuracy of 93%, the Support Vector Machine is the best ML model in our work and is used for the diabetic and hypertension disease prediction models. This paper also gives a new mobile application that alleviates the time and cost burden by detecting diabetic and hypertensive patients, doctors, and medical information. The user evaluation and rating analysis results showed that more than sixty five percent of users declared the necessity of the proposed application features.
Faith-Based Understanding: A Trialogic Perspective within the Abrahamic Religions
Authors: Ab Majeed Ganaie
Published: August 2024

In contemporary times, the world is facing many challenges, some of which are perplexed notions about the different ethnic communities. Among the major faith-based ethnicities are Abrahamic religions. These religions are centuries old and have shared a legacy as well. However, despite the fact that their shared legacy should have brought them together and become a source of peace for the rest of the ethnicities, there are many perplexities. Therefore, a process that is a prerequisite to come to the rescue is trialogue. This study attempts to investigate the possibilities and grounds essential for trialogue. This study highlights the origins and fundamental relationships among Abrahamic traditions. It explores the ways and means to understand the perplexities among the traditions. Therefore, this paper uses descriptive and analytical research to examine the need for and importance of a trialogue. The present research finds that on the basis of doctrinal similarity, ethical, and moral obligations understood by the three Abrahamic traditions, there is a clear ground on the basis of which trialogue can be started, and most of the issues and confusions can be erased. This paper has also highlighted some moral duties for a fruitful trialogue process.

Anticipating Painful Pleasures
Authors: Brants Zachary ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: August 2024

In the Philebus, Socrates argues that some anticipatory pleasures can be false. The main argument at 38b6-41a4 has perplexed readers, however, and scholars have developed several different ways to understand the falsity of false anticipatory pleasures. I argue that the anticipation argument should be read in conjunction with a later distinction in the Philebus between intense pleasures mixed with pain and pure pleasures free from pain. I suggest that anticipatory pleasures taken in intense pleasures are false because they misidentify an intense pleasure as a genuine pleasure when in fact intense pleasures are inferior and non-genuine due to being mixed with pain. I contend that the example of a false anticipatory pleasure supports recognizing this kind of falsity, and that doing so helps to resolve several challenges that face existing interpretations.
A Story of Corruption

Published: August 2024

In Plato’s Philebus, Socrates’ second account of ‘false’ pleasure (41d-42c) outlines a form of illusion: pleasures that appear greater than they are. I argue that these pleasures are perceptual misrepresentations. I then show that they are the grounds for a methodological critique of hedonism. Socrates identifies hedonism as a judgment about the value of pleasure based on a perceptual misrepresentation of size, witnessed paradigmatically in the ‘greatest pleasures’.

Authors: Wosu C.O. , Ezeh E.M. , Ojong O.E.
Published: August 2024

Industrially, one of the techniques used to enhance the optimum production of petrochemicals is the configuration of process control units such as gas chromatography (G.C. Analyzer) for concentration and thermocouple for temperature in the production system. This research focused on the application of the principles of mass and energy conservation in the development of dynamic or unsteady state models for predicting the behaviour of the system or process involved in the production of ethylene glycol from a reaction involving oxidation of ethylene-to-ethylene oxide which further undergoes hydrolysis to produce ethylene glycol in a continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR). The high mathematical complexities of the mass and energy balance models of the Process as a result of the reaction kinetic scheme of the non-elementary reaction of the process which integrated both linear and non-linear terms into the models were resolved by the application of the principles of Taylor’s series expansion, Laplace Transform, partial fraction and matrix in the development of the dynamic models. Process simulation tool (Simulink) was utilized in the configuration of closed-loop systems with thermocouple and G. C. Analyzer, at the feed point of the reactor for process variables (temperature and concentration) control during the process using proportional, integral and derivative (PID) as controller parameters. The results of the process behaviour showed that manual tuning of different controller parameters experienced a high level of fluctuations and would not attain its stability or steady state even at a processing time above 16 seconds. Whereas, automatic tuning of desired controller gains of 1.361, 1.056 and 0.4109 for K
P, K
I and K
D for temperature and pressure with a tuning time of 143.9 Seconds, requires a maximum time of 8 seconds for the system to attain stability. This study showed that automated tuning of the controller resulted in better performance characteristics for optimum production of ethylene glycol in a non-isotheral continuous stirred tank reactor within the shortest possible time.

Published: August 2024

Lymnaea rubiginosa as a snail host found in the Babura River, Medan City, is a type of snail that is known to be an intermediate host in the life cycle of several trematode worms. Lymnaea rubiginosa was collected using net sources at four research stations and there were 10 sub stations at each research station. Research in 2023 found Lymneae rubiginosa in juvenile form and only at station two was it found, and even then only in one collection and only one individual. Snails can be infected by Fasciola gigantica and by other trematodes such as Echinostoma sp. and Trichobilharzia sp. as well as oligochaete worms, namely Chaetogaster sp. Chaetogaster sp. infection in Lymnaea rubiginosa snails originating from rice fields and ponds shows that the spread of these worms is widespread. If it is suspected that the worm is capable of preying on the Fasciola gigantica miracidium, then Chaetogaster sp. more effective for use as a biological control. If the Lymnaea rubiginosa snail has been infected with E. hystricosum, then the snail cannot be infected again with other trematodes such as Trichobilharzia brevis. There seems to be a mechanism that inhibits the occurrence of mixed infections. Trematode and oligochaete worm infections in the snail's body can affect the development and growth of the snail. There is no mixed infection between two types of trematodes, namely Echinostoma sp. and Streigidae in a snail Lymnaea rubiginosa supports the phenomenon of antagonism.

Optimizing risk mitigation in maritime supply chains through strategic supplier relationship management
Authors: Vaandrager Celine
Published: August 2024

Modern supply chains face escalating vulnerabilities, especially in the maritime industry. Traditional lean supply chain management lacks flexibility and risk mitigation measures, encouraging the proposal of agile-focused SCM. The success of companies is intricately tied to supplier performance, highlighting the pivotal role of procurement in risk mitigation through supplier relationship management (SRM) strategies. This emphasizes the role of procurement in risk mitigation since they manage suppliers using supplier relationship management (SRM) strategies. To properly apply SRM strategies, suppliers are segmented. The standard segmentation method is the Purchasing Portfolio Matrix (PPM). The downfall of this matrix is the focus on power relations, which misses a softer relationship side of SRM. The Supplier Potential Matrix (SPM) includes relationship dynamics but overlooks supply risk. A new matrix for segmentation is proposed, the Integrated Supplier Matrix (ISM), which combines and integrates the PPM and SPM. A case study in a maritime company assesses risks using the Best-Worst Method (BWM), revealing significant procurement risks such as product uniqueness, regulatory compliance, and external factors. The ISM then establishes relationships between supplier willingness, capabilities, risks, and profit impact. The findings emphasize the critical role of communication and trust in managing trade-offs within supplier relationship management (SRM).

This study employs a qualitative approach to investigate the impact of interventions targeting these factors on childhood obesity. Through in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and document analysis, the study examines the effectiveness of nutrition education programs, physical activity promotion initiatives, and mental health support services in addressing childhood obesity. The research explores how these interventions are implemented in diverse settings, such as schools, communities, and healthcare facilities, and assesses their outcomes in terms of changes in dietary behaviors, physical activity levels, and psychological well-being among children. Additionally, the study investigates the barriers and facilitators encountered during the implementation of these interventions, including socio-cultural factors, policy environments, and resource availability. The findings highlight the complex interplay between nutrition, physical activity, and mental health in shaping childhood obesity outcomes. Effective interventions often involve a comprehensive, multi-sectoral approach that addresses the underlying determinants of unhealthy behaviors and promotes holistic well-being. Key themes identified include the importance of community engagement, the need for culturally sensitive programming, and the integration of mental health support into obesity prevention efforts. By elucidating the impact of nutrition, physical activity, and mental health interventions on childhood obesity, this study contributes to the evidence base for designing and implementing effective strategies to combat this growing public health challenge.
