Authors: Rodríguez Angela Verónica Granizo , Antonelli Leandro , Firmenich Sergio , Firmenich Diego
Published: July 2024

Requirement engineering plays a crucial role in the software lifecycle, since errors made in the requirements require significant effort to be corrected in later stages. The main source of requirements is people; however, it is common to analyze existing applications when developing new software. This is particularly the case in the process of reengineering. On the other hand, the language of the domain is essential to understanding the domain and thus comprehending the requirements. Language Extended Lexicon (LEL) is a structured glossary designed to capture this language. This paper proposes an approach for obtaining the language of an application domain from a web application using the LEL glossary. The process comprises three main activities: general analysis of the web application, domain language capture, and the verification of the generated domain language. Additionally, this paper describes a web browser extension tool designed to support the process. Finally, the paper presents the results of a preliminary evaluation with promising outcomes regarding the applicability of the approach.

Authors: Martins Mariana Crisostomo , Kudo Taciana Novo , Bulcão-Neto Renato F.
Published: July 2024

Despite the increasing development of Machine Learning (ML) applications, Requirements Engineering (RE) activities face challenges in this new data-intensive paradigm, e.g., the high dependence on data availability and quality and the continuous adaptation to changing environments. In this context, we have identified a lack of an integrated view of the RE process of ML applications in the literature. This paper proposes an RE process tailored to ML application projects, covering requirements elicitation, analysis, specification, validation, and management. The process development methodology includes the ISO/IEC 12207 standard and Design Thinking. Our solution combines problem study and formulation supported by the state of the art in research. The solution proposal follows three evaluation formats: laboratory, static, and dynamic validation. We expect the process to improve RE practice and thus improve ML-based systems development with higher quality deliveries and easier maintenance.

Authors: Oliveira Rhenara , Marques Anna B. , Santos Ismayle , Andrade Rossana
Published: July 2024

Technical Debt (TD) in software engineering refers to the additional cost generated by inadequate decisions or implementations in software projects. Requirements TD emerges when specific requirements are overlooked, poorly understood, or implemented inadequately, leading to disparities between the developed product and the original specifications. In this context, requirements engineering should worry about how to prevent requirements TD from occurring and how to deal with requirements TD. This paper presents a qualitative study investigating the causes of requirements TD and identifying actions that can mitigate or resolve them. This qualitative study occurs in a software project of a partnership between an IT company and the Computer Networks, Software Engineering, and Systems Group (GREat) of the Federal University of Ceará. The literature review helped identify types and causes of RTD, later correlated with responses from exploratory questions in project retrospective sessions. With the qualitative analysis conducted, significant challenges were detected, especially in the requirements elicitation phase, highlighting the need for more effective approaches. To deal with these issues, actions aimed at mitigating and resolving existing Requirements Technical Debts were identified and implemented.

Authors: Collins Nwokoro Chigbundu , Amosu LO , Ogundele IO , Oso AR , Babajimi-Joseph IA , Kalesanwo EA
Published: July 2024

Background: Appendicitis is common, with a lifetime occurrence of 7 per cent. It is an urgent surgical illness with a wide range of manifestations and extensive overlap with other clinical syndromes.
Objective: To examine the presentation, differential diagnoses and complications of appendiceal diseases.
Methods: An eight-year retrospective study (18 July 2016 - 18 August 2023) was carried out in a Nigerian Teaching Hospital. All cases of appendiceal diseases managed in children during the study were included. Case notes of patients who were managed from admission through surgical intervention, discharge from the hospital, and complete follow-up at the paediatric outpatient clinic were selected for data retrieval and further processing.
Results: Four hundred children with appendiceal diseases were seen during the study period. However, only 250 patients’ case records were studied. Out of the 250 children studied, 170 were males (68%), giving a male-to-female ratio of 2.1:1. The age range was one year to 15 years. Those aged 7-12 years were in the majority (175; 70%). Most of the children (80; 32%) presented late to the hospital with the presence of complications, which occurred more in those aged less than 7 years (150; 75%). The complications included a ruptured appendix with generalised peritonitis (40; 50%), localised peritonitis (18; 22.5%), appendiceal mass (16; 20%), and gangrene of the appendix (6; 7.5%).
Conclusion: Acute appendicitis is one of the causes of acute abdominal conditions in children. Delayed presentation is common. Complications at presentation were associated with young age and late presentation.

Aquifer characteristics evaluation enables the determination of aquifer’s ability to recharge as well as discharge. However, knowledge of aquifer characteristics has been scarce at Kingsley Mbadiwe University and Its Environs. Thus, geophysical and hydrogeological investigations involving vertical electrical sounding (VES), pumping test and well logging were conducted in KOMU, Imo State Nigeria, to evaluate the aquifer characteristics as well as the groundwater protective capacity of the area. Twenty-Five (25) VES, using the Schlumberger configuration, were carried out. The vertical electrical sounding data were processed using a combination of curve matching and computer modeling using the IP2WIN software. The aquifer resistivity across the study area varies from 90 Ωm at 5 Star Hotel Obiohia, KOMU (VES 24) to 5872 Ωm beside the Stadium KOMU (VES 9). The depth to the water table across the study area varies from 1.43 m at Medical Centre KOMU (VES 13) to as high as 82.7m at Faculty of Sciences KOMU (VES 2) Southeastern parts of the study area. The aquifer thickness across the study area varies from 2.18m at 5 Star Hotel Obiohia, KOMU Environs (VES 24) to 126m at Benahllis Hotel, KOMU Environs (VES 14). The groundwater potentials of the studied area range from fair to good, with the areas underlain by the Benin Formation having better groundwater potentials, according to the interpretation of a variety of aquifer characteristics.

Published: July 2024

Introduction: Corneal abscess is a severe condition with a guarded prognosis and potential for blindness. Diagnosis relies on clinical evaluation, necessitating prompt and appropriate management to prevent delays in diagnosis and therapy that could adversely affect visual outcomes. The objective of our study is to characterize the epidemiological, microbiological, clinical, therapeutic, and prognostic aspects of corneal abscesses in pediatric patients. Material and methods: We conducted a retrospective study that included all cases of confirmed bacterial corneal abscesses in hospitalized children over a 2-year period. Each child underwent corneal scraping with microbiological examination, and data were collected from their medical record Results: The total number of cases was 18 patients with 18 eyes, with an average age of 3 years and a male predominance. Pain and ocular redness were the main functional signs. Visual acuity was difficult to assess due to the young age of the patients. The pathogens identified were gram-positive bacteria in 55.5% of cases, gram-negative bacteria in 33.5%, and polymicrobial in 11%. Contributing factors included ocular trauma, history of ocular surgery, ocular dryness, and ocular rosacea. Initial treatment consisted of broad-spectrum antibiotic therapy with fortified ceftazidime and vancomycin eye drops combined with systemic antibiotics. Treatment was subsequently adjusted based on microbiological results and clinical progression. An antifungal agent was added for suspected superinfected fungal keratitis, using voriconazole eye drops. An antiviral was added for suspected superinfected herpetic keratitis, with oral acyclovir. The average duration of treatment was 3 weeks. In 66.5% of cases, the outcome was favorable with improved visual acuity and reduced corneal opacity. Discussion: The risk factors for corneal abscess are primarily ocular trauma in developing countries and contact lens wear in developed countries. In our series, the most significant risk factors were ocular trauma and a history of ocular surgery. The frequency of pathogens responsible for corneal abscess varies from region to region and depends on geographical location and climate. Consistent with the literature, in our series, the most common pathogens were gram-positive bacilli (55.5%). Initial treatment should be broad-spectrum targeting both gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, and subsequently adjusted based on microbiological results. This approach aims to achieve optimal therapeutic efficacy and improve clinical outcomes Conclusion: The corneal abscess is a serious infection that affects visual prognosis. Faced with a severe corneal abscess, only rapid and well-conducted diagnostic and therapeutic management can reduce the risk of an unfavorable outcome. Similarly, prevention involves better management of ocular trauma and other causal factors.

Birth weight is the first weight a fetus or baby obtains after birth. A baby's birth weight is an indicator of future health status. Overall, an estimated 15% to 20% of all births worldwide are low birth weight, representing more than 20 million births annually. Body Mass Index before pregnancy can be considered an indicator of the mother's nutritional status, and maternal nutritional status can reduce placental-fetal blood flow and inhibit fetal growth. This study aims to determine the relationship between the body mass index of pregnant women and the birth weight of the baby. comparative research with a cross sectional approach at the Simomulyo Public Health Center. The population of this study is all mothers who gave birth to live babies in 2022. The sample for this study was taken using a total sampling of 72 people. The independent variable is the body mass index of the pregnant woman, while the dependent variable is the baby's birth weight. Data was taken from secondary data from medical records for 2022. The analysis test used Kruskall Wallis with a significance level of 0.05. Research shows that the majority of mothers who have a normal BMI give birth to 51 babies with a normal weight (70.83%), mothers with a thin BMI give birth to babies with a low birth weight as many as 4 (5.56%), mothers with a high BMI give birth to normal babies. 15 people (20.83%) and mothers with obese BMI gave birth to 1 normal baby (1.39%) and 1 large baby (1.39%). The results of the analysis using Kruskall Wallis obtained a value of p = 0.000 (p < 0.05). There is a relationship between the body mass index of pregnant women and the birth weight of the baby.

Authors: Han-Chen Huang
Published: July 2024

Selecting exhibition contractors based solely on the lowest price often results in low-quality services and products due to unreasonably low bids. To address this issue, the Most Advantageous Bid (MAB) method is proposed, emphasizing comprehensive evaluation criteria such as technical capabilities, management systems, cost efficiency, collaborative abilities, past performance, delivery guarantees, and quality control. Implementing the MAB method involves allocating weights to evaluation criteria and sub-criteria, which is a significant challenge. This study utilized the Analytic Network Process (ANP) and expert interviews to identify and analyze the weights of suitable evaluation criteria and sub-criteria, establishing a systematic evaluation framework. The study formulated five main evaluation criteria and sixteen sub-criteria. The top criteria are professional competence and service quality (32.16%), technological capability and innovative solutions (23.65%), customer service and support (17.67%), cost efficiency and price competitiveness (14.93%), and risk management and compliance (11.60%). This shift indicates a greater emphasis on quality and technological capabilities over mere price competitiveness. The results provide a comprehensive MAB evaluation model and offer guidelines for enhancing the accuracy and fairness of supplier evaluations. These findings can help businesses and government agencies develop tailored MAB evaluation models, improving the efficiency and effectiveness of supplier selection.
