Development and implementation of an optimization model for the assignment of medical specialties in clinics: application of the Knapsack algorithm with a graphical interface in Python
Authors: Cruz Santiago González
Published: September 2024

This project presents the development and application of an optimization model designed to allocate medical specialties to clinics based on a predefined schedule. By employing the Knapsack algorithm in Python, the model aims to optimize resource utilization within a medical environment, ensuring that the distribution of services is both efficient and effective. The model incorporates critical constraints such as clinic capacity and patient service demand, which are essential for balancing resources across various specialties. Furthermore, the model addresses potential scheduling conflicts, ensuring that no overlaps occur among different specialty professionals assigned to the same clinic. The integration of these constraints ensures that the allocation process is not only optimal but also practical for real-world implementation. The results demonstrate the potential of this approach to enhance operational efficiency, minimize resource wastage, and improve patient care by strategically managing the availability of specialized medical services across clinics. This model serves as a robust framework for healthcare organizations aiming to improve their resource management strategies.

Authors: Thakkar Nachiket , Bhuyan Rafiqul
Published: September 2024

Abstract

This paper empirically examines the impact of financial technology (FinTech) and financial inclusion on sustainable development goals (SDGs). The adoption of FinTech has a significant positive effect on key SDGs in developing nations. Specifically, FinTech contributes to reducing income inequality and poverty, while promoting gender equality, access to basic sanitation, clean energy, and education. Additionally, the increasing adoption of FinTech is linked to overall economic growth. To address potential biases from heteroscedasticity and endogeneity, we conduct robustness checks using simultaneous equation modeling and Poisson pseudo-maximum likelihood estimations. Our findings confirm that the benchmark results are robust.

Published: September 2024

Alzheimer's disease (AD), a neurodegenerative disorder significantly impairing cognitive function and quality of life, necessitates an in-depth study of its pathogenic mechanisms. Despite extensive research, the disease's pathological mechanisms harbor numerous unknown elements. Analyzing DNA microarray data is crucial for elucidating gene co-expression relationships during AD's pathological processes. This study aimed at exploring the applicability of the ant colony optimization (ACO) algorithm in identifying linearly co-expressed genes in AD. This study utilized gene expression profile data of AD patients collected from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, employing the ACO algorithm to explore the co-expression relationships among AD pathogenic genes in different stages. Through the analysis of co-expression relationships, we identified four related genes (SDHA, NDUFA10, SDHC, and GPI). By using the co-expressed genes as features, we applied the support vector machine (SVM) algorithm for AD classification. The results of these experiments revealed that each model achieved average AUC values of 0.90, 0.91, 0.86, and 0.92, respectively. Our research findings reveal that the ACO algorithm provides a new perspective for in-depth exploration of the pathogenic mechanisms of AD.

An Online Scheme for Delayed MISO System Identification
Authors: Ghoul Yamna , Zitouni Naoufel , Flah Aymen
Published: September 2024

The issue of parametric estimation in time delay models is the main topic of this research article. Multiple-Input Single-Output (MISO) Continuous-Time (CT) systems with numerous unknown time delays characterize these models. Two different recursive parametric estimate techniques are explored in this paper, the strategic application of Sequential Nonlinear Least Squares (SNLS) to attain global convergence and the Recursive Least Squares (RLS) technique in conjunction with the Gauss-Newton algorithm with the goal of achieving local optimization. Both approaches contribute to the comprehensive understanding of the parametric estimation landscape for time delay models. In a pivotal stride towards enhancing convergence, the research proposes a hybridization of the two methods. This synergistic approach is designed to leverage the strengths of both SNLS and the RLS-Gauss-Newton combination, fostering improved overall convergence properties. To substantiate the credibility and effectiveness of the proposed methodologies, the conducted research provides comprehensive simulation results. These simulations offer concrete examples of the efficacy and practicality of the suggested techniques in real-world situations, and they make significant contributions to the field of parametric estimation for time delay models.

In view of the impact of extreme temperatures on physical and psychological health, particularly in urban areas, several studies have focused on assessing social vulnerability using quantitative indexing approaches with the aim of creating a heat vulnerability index (HVI). In this context, this study employs three statistical methodologies frequently used to construct HVIs on the territory of the Toulouse Métropole, France, at the census block (IRIS) scale to assess the efficiency of this type of approach for evaluating social vulnerability in urban environments considering the current theoretical conceptualization. The three HVIs show the same general trends, with a spatial configuration in which high levels of vulnerability are concentrated in the downtown and suburbs of the Toulouse municipality. Vulnerability gradually decreases away from the urban core, becoming moderate in the inner suburbs and low on the outskirts. However, a spatial analysis of the clusters reveals variability in the boundaries of the vulnerability hotspots. Value class matching indicates that a significant number of census blocks are classified differently according to the method considered. These results raise questions concerning the ability of HVIs to provide reliable vulnerability assessments, given their geostatistical and conceptual limitations. Indexing approaches therefore appear to contradict current theoretical conceptualizations promoting the concept of vulnerability as being complex and multifactorial.

Published: September 2024

Introduction

Epigenetic alterations, in particular DNA methylation, are the most important mechanism that silences tumor suppressor genes during carcinogenesis. Methylation of the BRCA1 promoter in peripheral blood is associated with an increased risk of breast cancer. In the present study, we aimed, for the first time in western Algeria, to investigate the role of BRCA1 CpG promoter methylation in peripheral blood cells (PBCs) among breast cancer patients, as a potential biomarker for detecting breast cancer risk at an early age.

Material and methods

The methylation profile of the BRCA1 gene promoter and its frequency in PBCs, derived from 39 breast cancer patients, was explored by methylation-specific PCR (MSPCR). The association between methylation profiles and clinicopathological features was evaluated with SPSS statistics software to estimate a convenient biomarker for early detection of breast cancer.

Results

MSPCR results demonstrated that the methylation frequency of the BRCA1 gene promoter detected in PBCs is significantly higher than in other populations. It was observed in 23 of 39 (58.97%) breast cancer patients.

Conclusions

Our study showed that the methylation of the BRCA1 gene promoter detected in PBCs’ DNA could have potential utility in clinical diagnostics as a new biomarker for breast cancer risk in Algerian women and for early detection.

Authors: Biricik Mehmet , Yılmaz Üstün
Published: September 2024

Aims: This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of temporomandibular joint diseases (TMD) among hemodialysis (hd)
patients and to explore the association between sociodemographic and laboratory parameters and the occurrence of TMD.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 81 hd patients. Sociodemographic characteristics and laboratory
parameters of the participants were collected. TMD was assessed using the fonseca anamnestic test. Statistical analysis was
performed using spss-22.
Results: Among the 81 participants, 39 (48.1%) were female and 42 (51.9%) were male, with a mean age of 58.2±15.27 years.
TMD was detected in 50 patients (61.7%). Significant associations were found between TMD and the presence of comorbid
diseases (p=0.002), low hemoglobin levels (p=0.001), and low albumin levels (p=0.002).
Conclusion: the study identified comorbid diseases, low hemoglobin, and low albumin as significant factors associated with
TMD in hd patients. These findings suggest that heightened awareness and targeted management of these risk factors may
improve clinical outcomes for hd patients with TMD. Enhanced understanding among clinicians regarding the high incidence and related factors of TMD in this patient population could lead to more effective treatment strategies.

Published: September 2024

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of Kenya’s immigration policy on regional integration within the EAC. Although Kenya’s immigration policy aligns with the East Africa Community Map (EACMP), as detailed in the 2010 Kenyan Constitutional and the Kenyan Citizenship and Immigration Act of 2011. Obstacles persist that prevent the free movement of people, labour, establishment rights, and residence rights despite East African Community (EAC) foreign citizens being exempt from visa and work permit requirements. The Kenyan government, however, insists on demanding these documents. The study employed a mixed methods approach with a convergent parallel research design. Quantitative data was analysed using inferential statistics in SPSS version 25, while qualitative data was analysed through content analysis. A sample size of 400 respondents was used. The findings show that Kenya’s immigration policy has successfully encouraged the free movement of labour, people, establishment rights, and residence rights within the EAC. In conclusion, Kenya’s immigration policy has significantly contributed to advancing regional integration within the EAC. It is suggested that the Kenyan government simplify the permit procedures for EAC investors aiming to establish legitimate businesses in Kenya. The immigration policymakers in Kenya should ensure that the rights and benefits available for EAC foreign nationals wishing to reside in Kenya are covered by the policy in accordance with EACMP.

Published: September 2024

The paper explores the complex decision-making process involved in determining the organizational structure for data analytics within a company. Before selecting whether a centralized, decentralized, or federated model is most appropriate, it’s crucial to accurately define the scope of data analytics within the enterprise and specify the roles it will fulfill. Each variation of organizational models for data analytics carries its own unique social implications. For instance, centralization provides managers with exclusive control over essential information, whereas decentralization promotes data sharing and nurtures a stronger sense of belonging among employees. It’s important to ensure alignment between the chosen organizational model and the predefined organizational units/roles, including their associated rights and responsibilities. This paper offers a thorough examination of the responsibilities of four distinct units: BI & Data Governance, Central Analytics, and Advanced Analytics, proposed for centralization, alongside the Business Analytics unit, recommended for decentralization.

Введение. Распространенность саркопении в мире составляет 10% как у мужчин, так и у женщин. В последние годы все больше накапливается сведений о повышенной распространенности саркопении у пациентов с неалкогольной жировой болезнью печени. Известно, что гиподинамия сопровождается уменьшением мышечной массы и влияет на профиль выработки миокинов и на предотвращение дальнейшей потери мышечной массы и накопления внутрипеченочного жира. Секреция миокина иризина индуцируется физической нагрузкой, что, по-видимому, объясняет негативное влияние гиподинамии на стеатоз печени. Существует также связь между физической активностью и выработкой гепатокинов. Кроме того, потеря мышечной силы и отсутствие физической активности является фактором риска более прогрессирующей потери мышечной массы, накопления жира и усугубления воспаления, что приводит к порочному кругу повторяющейся гиподинамии и еще более выраженной саркопении. Результаты. В обзорной статье приводятся данные о влиянии различных типов физической нагрузки на саркопению. Отдельное внимание уделяется роли миокинов в патогенезе саркопении и современным препаратам — ингибиторам миостатина. Рассматриваются аспекты роли гипераммониемии в патогенезе саркопении и вопросы влияния на данный патогенетический механизм. Описываются аспекты нутритивной поддержки пациентов с саркопенией.

Background. The prevalence of sarcopenia in the world is 10% in both men and women. In recent years, there has been an increasing accumulation of information about the increased prevalence of sarcopenia in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. It is known that hypodynamia is accompanied by a decrease in muscle mass and affects the profile of myokine production and its effect on preventing further loss of muscle mass and accumulation of intrahepatic fat. Irisin myokine secretion is induced by physical activity, which seems to explain the negative effect of hypodynamia on hepatic steatosis. There is also an association between physical activity and hepatokine production. In addition, loss of muscle strength and physical inactivity is a risk factor for more progressive loss of muscle mass, fat accumulation and worsening inflammation, leading to a vicious cycle of recurrent hypodynamia and even more severe sarcopenia. Results. The review article provides data on the effect of various types of physical activity on sarcopenia. Special attention is paid to the swarm of myokines in the pathogenesis of sarcopenia and the modern drug myostatin inhibitor. Aspects of the role of hyperammonemia in the pathogenesis of sarcopenia and its influence on this pathogenetic mechanism are considered. The aspects of nutritional support for patients with sarcopenia are described.

Regional General Hospitals are healthcare institutions that play a significant role in providing medical services to the community in a specific area. The Central Surgery Installation is one of the healthcare service units in the Regional General Hospital, aiming to provide services to patients requiring surgical operations. This study aims to determine the optimization of patient services at the Central Surgery Installation of dr. Haryoto Lumajang Regional General Hospital and the factors influencing it. The research method used is qualitative with a descriptive approach. Informants were selected using purposive sampling technique. The research location is the Central Surgery Installation at dr. Haryoto Lumajang Regional General Hospital. The research results show that the certainty of timing is still not accurate according to the scheduled time, there has been no improvement in information facilities regarding patient positions, and there is a limitation in the number of operating rooms, leading to long waiting times. Based on these findings, it is suggested to improve the information system by providing an information screen in the waiting room displaying the latest patient status, and adding more operating rooms to reduce patient waiting time and avoid surgery delays due to limited facilities.
