A Data Model for Medical Schools and their Programs:
Authors: Opalek Amy , Gordon David 
Published: May 2018

ABSTRACT
This paper discusses the information needs of regulators in the face of increasing globalization in medical education and practice, the history of information resources cataloging the world's medical education institutions, and the development of a tool that can fill an information gap concerning where and how physicians around the world are educated — the World Directory of Medical Schools. The World Directory was developed to meet the needs of medical regulators and other stakeholders who rely on specific data about medical schools and their educational programs. Its data model captures information about schools and programs as separate entities, allowing for greater flexibility and utility in the areas of regulation and workforce research.

Authors: Krivchenya D. Yu. , Rudenko E. O. 
Published: May 2018

The aim — to study the experience in surgical treatment of isolated and associated pulmonary artery sling including tracheal, cardiac and aortic arch anomalies, to analyze the treatment strategy, complications and their correction.Materials and methods. Esophagography, digital subtraction angiography, contrast chest CT, tracheobronchoscopy, echocardiography were used for diagnosis. Surgery was used in all cases despite patient’s age, severity and associated lesions.Results and discussion. Over the 35­year period (1982 — 2017), 93 children were diagnosed and operated with different types of vascular rings in one center. Most of patients were under 3 year of age (n = 75; 80.6 %). Total of 8 (8.6 %) patients having pulmonary artery sling were included to the study. One of them had double vascular ring which included pulmonary artery sling and double aortic arch. Patients’ age at operation ranged from 21 days to 24 months (mean 12.9 ± 2.3, median 12.5), and weight ranged from 3.7 kg to 12.5 kg (mean 9.6 ± 0.9 kg, median 9.3 kg). Four of them (group I) (50 %) had isolated pulmonary artery sling and other 4 had associated airway or cardiac malformations (group II). Associated anomalies were as following: complete rings tracheal stenosis (n = 4), ventricular septal defect (n = 1), double vascular ring and total anomalous venous drainage (n = 1). Isolated pulmonary artery sling was corrected through left thoracotomy without cardiopulmonary bypass. Vascular anastomosis was performed using «fish mouth» technique to prevent postoperative stenosis. Median sternotomy and bypass were used in case of associated tracheal stenosis and ventricular septal defect. Tracheal resection or slide tracheoplasty were used for tracheal stenosis. In patient with double vascular ring and anomalous venous drainage surgery was staged: Rashkind procedure; then division of double aortic arch and left pulmonary artery reimplantation. Survival rate in the group I was 100 %, whereas in the group II 3 patients died, including that with double vascular ring. Overall mortality was 37.5 %. Stenosis of vascular anastomosis was corrected by balloon dilation in one case.Conclusions. Isolated pulmonary artery sling could be corrected through left thoracotomy without cardiopulmonary bypass, whereas associated anomalies should be managed using sternotomy approach and bypass. «Fish mouth» vascular anastomosis is effective in prevention of its stenosis. Balloon dilation of stenotic anastomosis in late period allows restoring an adequate blood flow in the left lung. Associated tracheal stenosis and cardiac defects has significant influence to the increase of mortality in patients with pulmonary artery sling. In case of associated heart defects simultaneous repair of cardiac hemodynamics and decompression of respiratory tract is expedient.

Authors: Ya. L. Zarutskii  , I. B. Plis  
Published: May 2018

The aim — to evaluate the effectiveness of modern preoperative methods for pressure ulcers in patients with the spinal cord injuries consequences.Materials and methods. A comparative analysis of 178 patients’ records with the spinal cord injuries consequences, which were complicated by bedsores in the rehabilitation period of the traumatic disease was carried out. The patients were divided into three groups, depending on the method of preoperative preparation. Mud therapy and ozonotherapy were used in the first group (n = 76), ultrasonic­assisted wound debridement and VAC­therapy were applied in the second group (n = 44). Preoperative preparation was performed with ointment dressings, wound dressings and antiseptic solutions in the comparison group (n = 58). Closure of soft tissue defects was performed by the method of autodermoplasty, local plastics or displaced grafts.Results and discussion. The regularity of the pressure ulcers appearance was determined according to the level of damage. In patients with cervical injuries, pressure ulcers were localized in the sacral region at 48.9 %, in cases of thoracic and lumbar levels of injuries, localization in the ischial area (32.1 %) prevailed. The use of ozonotherapy and peloidotherapy in the first group, ultrasonic­assisted wound debridement and VAC­therapy in the second group reduced the preoperative period to 12.1 ± 1.1 and 10.4 ± 0.9 days, respectively. Them the routine methods were applied, the pressure ulcers were ready for plasty by 15.9 ± 1.4 day. Auto­skin­grafting was used in 11 (6.2 %) patients, local flaps in 46 (25.9 %), regional flaps in 121 (67.9 %) cases. The early postoperative period was complicated by suppuration in 19.1 %, wound breakdowns in 10.7 %, and the marginal necrosis of the flap in 10.1 %. In the second group, the smallest proportion of early complications was observed due to a decrease in the number of wound breakdowns to 4.5 % and suppurations to 11.4 %.Conclusions. VAC­therapy and ultrasonic­assisted wound debridement allows for a short period of time to achieve the readiness of tissues among pressure ulcers for the plastic surgery. The optimal method for closing pressure ulcers is the plastic with distant axial muscle flaps, combined with anatomically­functional resection of the subordinate bones.

Published: May 2018

The aim — to study the role of capsule endoscopy in determination of small bowel bleeding management.Materials and methods. The study was based on 167 patients’ treatment results for intestinal bleeding at surgical and proctological departments. Patients were divided into two groups: the main one — 98 (62 (65.2 %) men and 36 (34.8 %) women, the average age 45.3 ± 1.3 years) patients treated since May 2013 to December 2015, whom were diagnosed and treated according to our new medical diagnostic algorithm, and the comparison group included 69 (34 (49.2 %) men and 35 (50.8 %) women, mean age (46.7 ± 1.3) years) patients treated during the period from April 2000 to December 2013, whom were diagnosed and treated according to the traditional scheme (esophagogastroduodenoscopy, videocolonoscopy, contrast X­ray of the small intestine, haemostatic and infusion therapy). Depending on the clinical signs, each group was divided into three subgroups. In the main group, 22 (22.45 %) patients with clinical signs of persistent bleeding (melena, bloody vomiting) entered the I subgroup, 29 (29.59 %) with stopped bleeding in the II subgroup, 47 (47.96 %) with recurrent bleeding and chronic anaemia of unknown origin (according to previous examinations), respectively in the comparison group 34 (49.28 %), 19 (27.54 %) and 16 (23.19 %) patients.Results and discussion. In the main group, with a capsule endoscopy, a source of bleeding was detected in 91 (89.4 %) patients. In the comparison group — the source of bleeding with the help of a traditional algorithm at the preoperative stage was detected in only 10 (14.5 %) patients. 14 (14.3 %) surgical interventions were performed in the main group, 9 (9.18 %) were planned and 5 (5.1 %) — in urgent order, in the comparison group — 53 (76.8 %), among them 13 (24.53) were planned and 40 (75.47 %) — in urgent order.Conclusions. Videocapsule endoscopy detected a source of bleeding in all patients with ongoing bleeding signs, in 93.1 % of patients without bleeding signs, and 89.4 % in patients with recurrent bleeding and chronic anaemia of unknown ethology. The use of capsular endoscopy made it possible to reduce the level of surgical interventions by 62.69, 45.92 and 25.0 %, and urgent surgical interventions by 70.37, 59.89 and 51.9 %, respectively.

Published: May 2018

The aim — to study the effect of expansion on the vascular bed tissues remodeling to obtain the combined perforator­based flaps and to determine their survival in the experiment.Materials and methods. Experimental studies were carried out on 35 rats, which underwent the skin flaps modelling supplied with skin perforators of the thoracic artery and superior gluteal artery. In the main group (n = 20), the expanded combined flaps with vascular networks of the posterior and middle muscle perforators of VII—X intercostal and I — II lumbar arteries and lateral artery of the chest were formed. The comparison group included 15 rats, in whom flaps with different power sources were formed on one side of the trunk. A comparative analysis of flap survival for different flap formation methods, including tissue expansion, was held.Results and discussion. The possibility of vascular bed remodeling, which allows the large expanded flaps formation which unite up to 5 perforasome skin areas supplied by single key vessel, is shown. Today, there is no universal method to improve the survival of the skin flaps, so tissue expansion with the inclusion of the neighboring 5 vascular sources perforators will help to obtain more plastic material with better survival potential.Conclusions. Tissue expansion facilitates the inclusion of additional vascular networks into the flaps, the vascular bed remodeling, allows to increase the flaps square in 1.9 times, improves their survival in 2.4 times and reduces the necrosis square in 2.8 times.
A cost-effective approach for chicken egg weight estimation through computer vision
Authors: ARAGUA Alphany , MABAYO Val İrvin 
Published: May 2018

Egg weighing and classification are among the most significant phases
done in egg processing by industries which are tedious if done manually by
poultry owners, and egg inspectors and graders.
This study presented an alternative way of estimating chicken egg weight
through computer vision minimizing human interaction during the process. In
this study, fifteen eggs of white leghorn chicken layers of different sizes
were tested. The eggs’ image was captured using an inexpensive yet reliable
webcam which was then loaded onto the MatLab workspace for image processing and
further image analysis. The center of gravity of the image was determined, and
the extraction of minor axis length and major axis length followed. The
obtained values were used to compute the egg’s weight mathematically. Through
the different image processing methods, image dimensions were extracted and
used to calculate the desired output. The results of this study showed 96.31%
accuracy in estimating the egg’s weight and classification validated by manual
egg weighing and classification procedure.

The research objective were to study the effect of compost fertilizer and Nasa liquid organic fertilizer (POC Nasa) and its interaction on the growth and yield of cucumber and also to find the proper dosage of compost fertilizer and POC Nasa concentration for obtaining the best growth and yield of cucumber.The research used Completely Randomized Design (CRD) in 4 x 4 Factorial Experiment and three replications. The factor was the dosage of compost fertilizer (K) consisting of 4 levels : no compost fertilizer application (k0), 48 g polybag-1(k1), 64 g polybag-1 (k2); and 80g polybag-1(k3). The second factor was the concentration of POC Nasa (D) consisting 4 levels : no POC Nasa application (d0), 1 ml l-1water (d1), 2 ml l-1water (d2), and 3 ml l-1water (d3).The results showed that: (1) the compost fertilizer treatment affected significantly on the weight of one fruit and the weight of fruit per plant, it affected very significantly on the plant lenght at age 15 and 30 days after planting, and fruit diameter, but it did not affect significantly on the number of fruit per plant. The best production was produced at 48 g polybag-1 (k1) treatment of 3,77 kg plant-1, while the least one was produced at the 80 g polybag-1 (k3) treatment of 3,06 kg plant-1; (2)the POC Nasa treatment affected significantly on the weight of one fruit; and it affected very significanly on the plant lenght at age 30 days after planting and fruit diameter, but it did not affect significantly on the plant lenght at age 15 days after planting, number of fruit per plant, and fruit weight per plant; and (3) the interaction treatment between compost fertilizer and POC Nasa affected significantly on the weight of one fruit and affected very significantly on the fruit diameter, but did not affect significantly on the plant lenght at age 15 and 30 after planting, the number of fruit and fruit weight per plant.

Developments in medicine and
increased health awareness has increased demand for health care. However, there
is not enough human resources, device,
and health care organizations to cover it. This demand can be reduced through
telemedicine. Especially the monitoring of the ECG signal of the patient with
heart disorders in rural areas is very important. Developments in information
technology starts to provide important contribution to the clinical decision
support systems for early detection and diagnosis. Features are composed of hjorth descriptors,
correlation of signal with an artificial ecg signal, standard deviation of
intrinsic. mode function, ratio of power to activity and standard deviation.
Different classification methods are compared using these features. Matlab is
used for feature extraction and classification. The performance of the method
is tested on data used obtained from the PhysioNet database.
Scientific reuse of open biodiversity information from national Living Atlases infrastructures: Using ALA4R for reproducible research studies
Authors: Skyttner Markus , Johansson Veronika , Shah Manash 
Published: May 2018

During the last few years, a large number of countries have deployed national customized versions of The Atlas of Living Australia (ALA) (https://www.ala.org.au/), which is a collaboratively developed, open infrastructure for collecting and presenting biodiversity data nationally and for sharing it globally through GBIF (https://gbif.org).
The increasing number of national nodes deploying this free and open source software platform has built a worldwide community involving more than 17 countries, that collaborate openly in a decentralized way (https://living-atlases.gbif.org/), helping each other out by organizing technical workshops and by developing and sharing new software modules using GitHub.
One of these modules in the Living Atlases infrastructure is an R package called ALA4R originally created by Ben Raymond (https://github.com/AtlasOfLivingAustralia/ALA4R). It provides the research community with programmatic data access to many of the Living Atlases data services using R.
This presentation will show how ALA4R can be used to access data from different national Living Atlases nodes and how this R package can enable research studies that utilize methods and practices for reproducible workflows that are being increasingly established within the research community (https://www.britishecologicalsociety.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/guide-to-reproducible-code.pdf).
The Living Atlases community in action: the NBN Atlas Spatial Portal and “Explore Your Region” module

Published: May 2018

Atlas of Living Australia (ALA) (https://www.ala.org.au/) is the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) node of Australia. Since 2010, they have developed and improved a platform for sharing and exploring biodiversity information. All the modules are publicly available for reuse and customization on their GitHub account (https://github.com/AtlasOfLivingAustralia).
The National Biodiversity Network, a registered charity, is the UK GBIF node and has been sharing biodiversity data since 2000. They published more than 79 million occurrences from 818 datasets. In 2016, they launched the NBN Atlas Scotland (https://scotland.nbnatlas.org/) based on the Atlas of Living Australia infrastructure. Since then, they released the NBN Atlas (https://nbnatlas.org/), the NBN Atlas Wales (https://wales.nbnatlas.org/) and soon the NBN Atlas Isle of Man. In addition to the occurrence/species search engine and the metadata registry, they put in place several tools that help users to work with data published in the network: the spatial portal and "explore your region" module. Both elements are based on Atlas of Living Australia developments.
Because the Atlas of Living Australia platform is really powerful an reusable, we want to show you these two applications used to make geographical analyses. In order to perform this, we will present you the specificities of each component by giving examples of some functionalities.
Building an OWL ontology with Xper3
Authors: Pellen Florian , Bouquin Sylvain , Mougenot Isabelle , Vignes-Lebbe Régine 
Published: May 2018

Xper3 (Vignes Lebbe et al. 2016) is a collaborative knowledge base publishing platform that, since its launch in november 2013, has been adopted by over 2 thousand users (Pinel et al. 2017). This is mainly due to its user friendly interface and the simplicity of its data model. The data are stored in MySQL Relational DBs, but the exchange format uses the TDWG standard format SDD (Structured Descriptive DataHagedorn et al. 2005). However, each Xper3 knowledge base is a closed world that the author(s) may or may not share with the scientific community or the public via publishing content and/or identification key (Kopfstein 2016). The explicit taxonomic, geographic and phenotypic limits of a knowledge base are not always well defined in the metadata fields.
Conversely terminology vocabularies, such as Phenotype and Trait Ontology PATO and the Plant Ontology PO, and software to edit them, such as Protégé and Phenoscape, are essential in the semantic web, but difficult to handle for biologist without computer skills. These ontologies constitute open worlds, and are expressed themselves by RDF triples (Resource Description Framework). Protégé offers vizualisation and reasoning capabilities for these ontologies (Gennari et al. 2003, Musen 2015).
Our challenge is to combine the user friendliness of Xper3 with the expressive power of OWL (Web Ontology Language), the W3C standard for building ontologies. We therefore focused on analyzing the representation of the same taxonomic contents under Xper3 and under different models in OWL. After this critical analysis, we chose a description model that allows automatic export of SDD to OWL and can be easily enriched. We will present the results obtained and their validation on two knowledge bases, one on parasitic crustaceans (Sacculina) and the second on current ferns and fossils (Corvez and Grand 2014). The evolution of the Xper3 platform and the perspectives offered by this link with semantic web standards will be discussed.
What Went Where When? Representing Animal Movements as Simple Darwin Core Occurrences
Authors: Newman Peggy , Dettki Holger , Belbin Lee 
Published: May 2018

To usefully describe sensor deployments on animals is a major challenge for advocates of data standards. Bio-logging studies also need to be documented in a standard manner to facilitate discovery and determine relevance? For systems aggregating biodiversity occurrence records, the use of the Darwin Core standard (Wieczorek et al. 2012) to express species occurrences is near ubiquitous. Bio-logging studies are universally multiple instances of species occurrences that output high quality spatial and temporal data recorded by specialists.
There are a lot of benefits to summarising these studies by means of a single, flat file record. Simple Darwin Core offers the ability to do this by representing the multiple occurrences as a date range in dwc:eventDate and a footprint polygon using dwc:footprintWKT for the area covered by the track. By also uniformly describing the species, the dwc:basisOfRecord as Machine Observation, and a controlled vocabulary to describe the type of bio-logging data, systems could offer an effective means of querying tracking data. It’s important to look to other data standards initiatives relevant to bio-logging to ensure common usage of Darwin Core terms.
The Atlas of Living Australia is using an implementation of Simple Darwin Core to represent data from the bio-logging platform ZoaTrack as occurrence data to make it discoverable via location or species-based searches. Other initiatives, for example Swedish LifeWatch follow a similar approach to represent data from the Wireless Remote Animal Monitoring (WRAM) Scandinavian bio-logging infrastructure. With endorsement from the community, the implementation could be useful as a type of metadata catalogue record, opening it for usage in application programmer interface (API) development and thus enabling machine interoperability between systems and users. In short, bio-logging systems and practitioners would be able to easily discover relevant studies by searching by location and/or species.
