Published: January 2022

In this study, we tested the quality of the information extraction algorithm proposed by our group to detect pulmonary embolism (PE) in medical cases through sentence labeling. Having shown a comparable result (F1 = 0.921) to the best machine learning method (random forest, F1 = 0.937), our approach proved not to miss the information of interest. Scoping the number of texts under review down to distinct sentences and introducing labeling rules contributes to the efficiency and quality of information extraction by experts and makes the challenging tasks of labeling large textual datasets solvable.

Published: January 2022

The present study aimed to systematically search in app stores and intended to carry out content analysis of free Persian mobile health apps in the management of COVID-19 and, ultimately determine the relationship between the popularity and quality of these apps. According to a researcher-made checklist including five axes of ease of use, privacy, data sharing, education, and monitoring, four app markets such as Myket, Bazzar, Google Play and App Store were searched from May 2021 up to now. The findings showed that all selected apps performed well in terms of ease of use and privacy but they needed to be improved in terms of education, monitoring, and data sharing. Also, there was no significant relationship between the popularity and quality of these apps. Owing to the high penetration rate of smartphones in Iran and the low popularity of COVID-19 apps, government, developers, and investors are required to improve the quality of apps and their marketing.

Published: January 2022

The goal of this paper is to apply unsupervised machine learning techniques in order to discover latent clusters in patients who have opioid misuse and also undergone COVID-19 testing. Target dataset has been constructed based on COVID-19 testing results at Mount Sinai Health System and opioid treatment program (OTP) information from New York State Office of Addiction Service and Support (OASAS). The dataset was preprocessed using factor analysis for mixed data (FAMD) method and then K-means algorithm along with elbow method were used to determine the number of optimal clusters. Four patient clusters were identified among which the fourth cluster constituted the maximum percentage of positive COVID-19 test results (20%). Compared to the other clusters, this cluster has the highest percentage of African Americans. This cluster has also the highest mortality rate (16.52%), hospitalization rate after receiving the COVID-19 test result (72.17%, use of ventilator (7.83%) and ICU admission rate (47.83%). In addition, this cluster has the highest percentage of patients with at least one chronic disease (99.13%) and age-adjusted comorbidity score more than 1 (83.48%). Longer participation in OTP was associated with the highest morbidity and mortality from COVID-19.

Pharmacovigilance is the science and activities related to the detection, evaluation, understanding and prevention of adverse drug reactions or any other possible drug-related problems. In our tropics, this discipline is in an embryonic state. The availability of a management system capable of responding to pharmacovigilance activities is the main objective of our study. The coding was done on the DJANGO Framework. Signal detection was done using the ROR method. We designed three modules which are the notification module, the analysis module and the statistics module. This study has allowed us to launch the basis for a computerization of the pharmacovigilance information system and partly meets our objective. However, it could lead to the integration of the dictionary of adverse effects such as MedDRA as well as the International Classification of Medicines (ATC, EphMRA).

Authors: Samo Giuseppe , Zhao Yu , Guasti Maria Teresa , Utunen Heini , Stucke Oliver , Gamhewage Gaya
Published: January 2022

The ability of assessing any type of linguistic complexity of any given contents could potentially improve knowledge reproduction, especially tacit knowledge which can be expensive during a pandemic. In this paper, we develop a simple and crosslinguistic model of complexity which considers formal accounts on the study of linguistic systems, but can be easily implemented by non-linguists’ groups, e.g., communication experts and policymakers. To test our model, we conduct a study on a corpus extracted from the World Health Organization (WHO)’s emergency learning platform in 6 languages. Data extracted from open-access encyclopaedic entries act as control groups. The results show that the measurements adopted signal a trend for a minimization of complexity and can be exploited as features for (automatic) text classification.

Published: January 2022

Left bundle branch block (LBBB) is a frequent source of false positive MPI reports, in patients evaluated for coronary artery disease. Purpose: In this work, we evaluated the ability of a CNN-based solution, using transfer learning, to produce an expert-like judgment in recognizing LBBB false defects. Methods: We collected retrospectively, MPI polar maps, of patients having small to large fixed anteroseptal perfusion defect. Images were divided into two groups. The LBBB group included patients where this defect was judged as false defect by two experts. The LAD group included patients where this defect was judged as a true defect by two experts. We used a transfer learning approach on a CNN (ResNet50V2) to classify the images into two groups. Results: After 60 iterations, the reached accuracy plateau was 0.98, and the loss was 0.19 (the validation accuracy and loss were 0.91 and 0.25, respectively). A first test set of 23 images was used (11 LBBB, and 12 LAD). The empiric ROC (Receiver operating characteristic) Area was estimated at 0.98. A second test set (18x2 images) was collected after the final results. The ROC area was estimated again at 0.98. Conclusion: Artificial intelligence, using CNN and transfer learning, could reproduce an expert-like judgment in differentiating between LBBB false defects, and LAD real defects.

Published: January 2022

We applied social network analysis (SNA) on Tweets to compare Hispanic and Black dementia caregiving networks. We randomly extracted Tweets mentioning dementia caregiving and related terms from corpora collected daily via the Twitter API from September 1 to December 31, 2019 (initial corpus: n = 2,742,539 Tweets, random sample n = 549,380 English Tweets, n= 185,684 Spanish Tweets). After removing bot-generated Tweets, we first applied a lexicon-based demographic inference algorithm to automatically identify Tweets likely authored by Black and Hispanic individuals using Python (n = 114,511 English, n = 1,185 Spanish). Then, using ORA, we computed network measures at macro, meso, and micro levels and applied the Louvain clustering algorithm to detect groups within each Hispanic and Black caregiving network. Both networks contained a similar proportion of dyads and triads (Hispanic 88.2%, Black 88.9%), while the Black caregiving network included a slightly larger proportion of isolates (Hispanic 0.8%, Black 4.0%). This study provides useful baseline information on the composition of existing large groups and small groups. In addition, this work provides useful guidance for future recruitment strategies and the design of social support interventions regarding emotional needs for Hispanic and Black dementia caregivers.
Artificial Intelligence Models for Heart Chambers Segmentation from 2D Echocardiographic Images: A Scoping Review
Authors: Al Kindi Dawoud , Househ Mowafa , Alam Tanvir , Shah Zubair
Published: January 2022

Echocardiography (echo) is a non-invasive, safe, widely available imaging modality that is frequently used to assess the heart structure and function. Accurate heart chamber segmentation is an essential step to quantify certain parameters, including heart chamber volumes. In clinical practice, this task is manually done by echo experts, where it consumes considerable time and is subjective to both errors as well as intra-operator variability. Artificial intelligence (AI) models have been used to automatically segment heart chambers. We conducted a scoping review to provide an overview of the AI models used for this task. Three bibliographic databases; PubMed, Embase, and Google Scholar were explored. Out of 640 initially retrieved studies, 36 studies were included. Multiple AI models used for echo images segmentation were identified, which can be broadly categorized into five methods: low-level image processing, deformable-based, statistical techniques, machine learning (ML), and deep learning-based (DL) techniques. The initial three categories were relatively simple and required less computational complexity compared to the ML and DL models. The convolutional neural network was the most widely used DL-based technique in most-recent publications. Generalizability of the models is a major concern that needs to be addressed in the future. Well-annotated larger 2D echo image datasets would be required to mitigate the challenges to some extent.

Emergency ambulance use is deemed necessary for the transport of acutely ill patients to hospital emergency departments (ED). However, some patients are discharged as they present low acuity or chronic problems and should receive primary healthcare services, while the most severely ill are admitted. In the present study, we examined the descriptive epidemiology of ambulance transports for emergencies in the ED by utilizing the data of the information systems of a public tertiary general hospital in Greece. More than half of the patients transferred to the ED by an ambulance were finally admitted to the hospital (52.25%), whereas only one-third (33.74%) of those transferred by other means. A statistically significant association was detected between ambulance use and hospital admission. Age was also statistically significantly higher in the ambulance group. Higher mean values of creatinine, CRP, LDH, urea, white-blood-cell count, and neutrophils were detected in the ambulance group, in contrast to hemoglobin and lymphocyte count which were higher in the non-ambulance group.

ЕКОНОМІЧНА ЕФЕКТИВНІСТЬ ВИРОБНИЦТВА ЛІКАРСЬКИХ РОСЛИН ТА ПЕРСПЕКТИВИ ТРАВЯНОГО БІЗНЕСУ
Authors: Бойко Л.О.
Published: January 2022

У зв’язку з погіршенням екологічного стану планети все більше людей прагнуть до здорового способу життя, і у цьому їм можуть допомогти лікарські рослини та різноманітна продукція, виготовлена на їхній основі. Значна кількість підприємців цікавиться вирощуванням лікарських рослин, які потребують різні галузі та сфери діяльності. Зростаючий попит на лікарські рослини не покривається виробництвом, тому їх вирощування є вигідною нішею для бізнесу в аграрному секторі. У статті проаналізовано сучасний стан виробництва лікарських рослин в Україні. Установлено низку чинників, що, з одного боку, стимулюють виробників до розвитку трав’яного агробізнесу (високий рівень рентабельності), з іншого – стримують розвиток ринку лікарської сировини в Україні (дорогий насіннєвий матеріал, спеціальна техніка та обладнання, ручна праця).

The ensembles of beetles and the seasonal distribution of diversity attracted to carrion in an artificial forest result of the urbanization of the Protected Natural Area Sierra de Guadalupe in central Mexico was studied. Monthly samples were collected from June 2017 to May 2018 using four carrion traps type NTP-80. A total of 3,434 individuals belonging to 17 families and 58 species were collected, of which 13 were identified to the species level and 45 to morphospecies. The species estimators suggest that was registered between 77.3% (Chao 1) and 80.5% (ACE) of the species. The families Staphylinidae, Silphidae, Carabidae, Leiodidae, Histeridae and Nitidulidae grouped 95.8% of the total abundance and 67.2% of the species. The family Staphylinidae was the higher richness with 21 species, the remaining had less than five species, of which the family Silphidae was the most important with four species, and represented the necrophagous guilt which was the second most abundant making up 21% of all beetles collected after the predators (62%). The diversity was higher in rainy than in drought season, the faunistic similarity between seasons was low (J=0.37), with 32 species exclusive of rainy and four of drought season. In the area inhabit wide-ranging species adapted to perturbation conditions, an endemic species, and converge montane elements with species of semiarid environments, therefore, is important to maintain the connection of the artificial forest with the forest area in upper parts of the Sierra de Guadalupe, and conserve the fragments of xeric shrubland that are scarce in the basin of Mexican Valley, so as to mitigate the impact of the urbanization in the diversity of beetles associated to carrion

Motivational Quotes on Social Media: A Rhetorical Appraisal
Authors: TUMASANG Solange SWIRI
Published: January 2022

The world we live in has become an ocean filled with undulating waves of motivational messages. People ply the earth with vain looks; every unfortunate encounter seems to be welcomed with lots of bitterness. What can be done to remedy this situation? This is where motivational speakers come to the stage. When people face various life challenges, they often resort to a motivational quote for a bit of inspiration. This study sets out to look at the rhetoric in some motivational quotes in a bid to elicit those elements that make them more resonant to the extent that some have become celebrated parts of society's lexicon. Using the rhetorical theory by (Selzer 2003), we discovered from the 100 quotes analyzed from Facebook that a subtle combination of good words mitting, motivational psychology and rhetorical appeals inspire people. Well-structured messages that use figures of speech and appeal to our inspirational nature can be meaningful and powerful in shaping our thoughts hence aiding us to appreciate some valuable things in our lives that have been underestimated.
Linderos entre la fiesta y la academia. Acercamiento etnográfico a la meseta educativa del baile flamenco en Sevilla, España y Mérida, Yucatán
Authors: Pérez Antúnez Cynthia Jeannette
Published: January 2022

El baile flamenco es una manifestación cultural asociada directamente con Andalucía, España. Sin embargo, sobre todo a partir de la segunda mitad del siglo XX, se ha practicado en diferentes lugares del mundo, de tal manera que incluso la UNESCO en el 2010 lo declaró Patrimonio Cultural Inmaterial de la Humanidad. En mi investigación doctoral antropológica abordé al baile flamenco desde una metodología performativa para el trabajo de campo y desde la perspectiva teórica del rizoma para el análisis. Me situé en dos lugares principalmente: Sevilla, España y Mérida, Yucatán. Los procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje del baile flamenco resultaron ser tan distintos como dichas ciudades entre sí. En este artículo presento un diálogo etnográfico con las disímiles experiencias educativas a las que tuve acceso en ambos contextos explorados. Hablo de la transmisión de conocimientos del baile flamenco mediante escuelas en diferentes modalidades, partiendo de un eje con dos polos opuestos entre la fiesta y la academia.
Los jóvenes de educación media superior en contextos vulnerables.
Authors: Peniche Cetzal Rubí Surema , Ramón Mac Cristóbal Crescencio
Published: January 2022

A las dificultades educativas que se viven en México, se añaden otras relacionadas con la COVID-19. La Educación Media Superior (EMS) no fue la excepción para sufrir y acentuar los estragos de grandes problemas educativos. Por ello, el propósito de este artículo es analizar sobre algunos de los desafíos afrontados por los jóvenes bachilleres en el país, especialmente aquellos en condiciones de desventaja contextual. Se comparten algunos datos estadísticos de la EMS, correspondientes a los indicadores de calidad educativa, para identificar cómo se encuentra este tipo educativo. Se describe cómo se agudizaron las problemáticas de los estudiantes de EMS a raíz de la desigualdad y de sus situaciones de vida. Se presenta también los retos que ha implicado atender las necesidades educativas inherentes a las condiciones de éstos y, a manera de propuesta, se plantea qué aspectos deberán considerarse para el regreso a las aulas.

En el ámbito político y académico, la historia ha cubierto de un hálito de probidad al concepto de autonomía. Este revestimiento simbólico no es gratuito, al menos en un contexto como el de nuestro país. Un acercamiento profundo al florecimiento y la consolidación de los Órganos Constitucionales Autónomos (OCA) en las últimas décadas nos permitiría observar lo mucho que les debemos en temas como el ejercicio real de la democracia, el acceso a la información, la competencia económica y el desarrollo nacional sin las dañinas costumbres del poder unívoco y autoritario, ejercido desde el presidencialismo que padecimos durante varios sexenios. El caso de la autonomía de las universidades corre una suerte paralela a la de los OCA, aunque con particularidades ontológicas, históricas, legales y prácticas que la distinguen de la ejercida por estos últimos.
Derechos humanos desde el iusnaturalismo histórico analógico
Authors: de la Torre Rangel Jesús Antonio
Published: January 2022

Veinte años después de haber concluido el texto que da lugar a la primera edición de este libro (2001), terminamos de preparar esta segunda edición. Ya que hace años está agotado el tiraje de esta obra publicada originalmente por la Editorial Porrúa y la Universidad Autónoma de Aguascalientes, y en virtud de que es frecuentemente solicitada por profesores y alumnos, y porque la consideramos tanto de actualidad como pertinente, nos decidimos a preparar esta segunda edición. Hemos dejado intacta la estructura de la obra en lo fundamental; sin embargo, en cuanto al contenido, hemos añadido algunos temas y actualizado otros. En lo formal, cambiamos algunos aspectos de las citas a pie de página, adecuándolas al modo como venimos citando en los últimos años. Las referencias también se han aumentado. El libro concluye con unas reflexiones motivadas por un pensamiento del hoy santo de la Iglesia católica, Óscar Arnulfo Romero, que por los días en que terminaba de escribir el libro se cumplían veinte años de su martirio (24. III.1980). Esta nota la quiero cerrar recordando a Pedro Casaldáliga, religioso claretiano nacido en Cataluña, que durante muchos años fue obispo de São Félix, Mato Grosso, Brasil, y que falleció el pasado 7 de agosto de 2020, cuando terminaba de preparar esta edición. Dedicó su obra a la defensa de la vida digna de los más pobres, a la defensa de sus más elementales derechos.

Systemy oparte na sztucznej
inteligencji wpływają na branżę i umożliwiają wdrażanie nowych modeli
biznesowych. Celem artykułu jest opracowanie modelu dynamicznych zdolności big
data, które przyczyniają się do efektywnego wykorzystania technik sztucznej
inteligencji w procesach biznesowych. W artykule przedstawiono studium
przypadku w dużej firmie z branży handlu detalicznego oraz realizację dwóch
projektów opartych na algorytmach sztucznej inteligencji: systemu wspierającego
marketing bezpośredni oraz systemu prognozowania popytu. Wyniki badania wskazują,
że zidentyfikowane zdolności zwiększają szanse powodzenia projektów opartych na
sztucznej inteligencji. Istotnym wnioskiem, który płynie z badania jest to, że
zdolność infrastruktury danych organizacji do szybkiego reagowania na nowe
potrzeby biznesowe okazała się podstawą powodzenia projektów opartych na AI.
