description: The Semantic Web (SW) constitutes a significant evolution in the management and application of information in different disciplines including medicine, where it can be useful in complex thought processes such as medical diagnosis. The objective of the study analysed how SW is related to medical diagnosis within the context of complexity. The method was a systematic literature review, with the SCOPUS and WoS systems, with the keywords “Semantic web” and “Medical diagnosis” from 2014 to 2024. The results obtained indicate: a) In addition to “Semantic web” and “Medical diagnosis” The most frequent keywords are: “semantic segmentation” and “medical imaging”, which suggests that the greatest application of SW in imaging; b) There is no single semantic methodology observed in the studies, however they are based on three main methodologies: Fuzzy semantic, neural networks and semantic segmentation; c) The main uses of SW in medicine are in: Diagnosis, Prediction and Decision making; d) The types of complex thinking identified are: Scientific thinking and Systemic thinking. The study contributes to understanding how SW has been applied to complex thought processes as relevant as medical diagnosis and contributes to understanding how SW has evolved with a view to application in other areas of medicine.

description: B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) is the most common form of cancer in children. Current treatments deliver a high survival rate, but often cause harmful and enduring side effects. New treatments are needed to address this clinical challenge and reduce relapse and long-term effects in children. This study investigates the centrosome clustering pathway as a target for cancer treatments in children with B-ALL. Cancer cells often have enlarged or extra centrosomes and require the centrosome clustering pathway to progress through cell division successfully. Our data reveals that when the centrosome clustering pathway is disrupted in B-ALL cells it causes cell death and produces a population of damaged refractory cells. The refractory cells have markers that make them more visible to the immune system and are therefore more easily targeted by immune-based therapies. Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common form of cancer in children, with most cases arising from fetal B cell precursor, termed B-ALL. Here, we use immunofluorescence analysis of B-ALL cells to identify centrosome amplification events that require the centrosome clustering pathway to successfully complete mitosis. Our data reveals that primary human B-ALL cells and immortal B-ALL cell lines from both human and mouse sources show defective bipolar spindle formation, abnormal mitotic progression, and cell death following treatment with centrosome clustering inhibitors (CCI). We demonstrate that CCI-refractory B-ALL cells exhibit markers for increased genomic instability, including DNA damage and micronuclei, as well as activation of the cyclic GMP–AMP synthase (cGAS)-nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) signalling pathway. Our analysis of cGAS knock-down B-ALL clones implicates cGAS in the sensitivity of B-ALL cells to CCI treatment. Due to its integral function and specificity to cancer cells, the centrosome clustering pathway presents a powerful molecular target for cancer treatment while mitigating the risk to healthy cells.

description: The goal of our joint Asian Pacific Telecommunity (APT) and CyberBrain Mass Agriculture Alarm Acquisition and Analysis  (CBMA4) project is to develop a collective intelligence-based platform that accommodates a decision making process related to agriculture early warning among communities of farmers.  The idea is to translate tacit knowledge from local farmers as well as fundamental knowledge from universities, research institutes, and government agencies into a computerized system. The system alerts and suggests solution for farmers based on two sources of input: Weather data observed automatically from weather stations and contextual data collected by farmers. We also propose an observation object named WarnCon (Warning Content) and an algebraic model to reduce the semantic gap in agriculture early warning management. The results are collected  from a real experimental farm in Thailand where the local farmers are currently use our system to reduce risk in plant disease.
Measuring mood – relative sensitivity of numerical rating and Likert scales in the context of teaching electroacupuncture: initial findings and the influence of response style on results
Creators: name: Mayor, David

Publisher: name: F1000Research
Year: 2016

description: Background. Mood and its changes are important but often overlooked in acupuncture research. A number of mood questionnaires exist, all using Likert scales, such as the validated, open-access 24-item Brunel Mood Scale (BRUMS24). This comprises six subscales – five of negative valence (ANGer, CONFusion, DEPRession, FATigue, TENSion), one positive (VIGour), with a derived construct, Total Mood Disturbance (TMD).

Our own acupuncture research called for a quick and easy method of assessing mood and its changes before, during and after stimulation. Following several pilot studies, we developed a multiple numerical rating scale for mood (NRS-M) with four negative subscales (Anxious, Confused, Fatigued, Gloomy) corresponding to those in BRUMS24, and four positive subjective states (Comfortable, Lively, Relaxed and overall ‘Good mood’) that would be useful in our research, rather than focusing solely on the pathological states emphasised by BRUMS24. Using fewer words, we hoped this would be easier to understand for non-native English speakers and those with learning difficulties, as well as quicker to complete even than BRUMS24. Here we analyse its use in a teaching situation.

Main objectives. To assess validity and reliability of NRS-M and determine whether it is more sensitive to mood and its changes than BRUMS24. To conduct factor and cluster analyses for NRS-M and BRUMS24, and to investigate common response styles for both scales.

Conclusions. NRS-M is a reasonably robust, responsive and partially validated measure of mood to use in the context of acupuncture practice. It has advantages over longer Likert scales such as BRUMS24.

description: Purpose: To compare reduction of intraocular pressure (IOP) after Trabectome in pseudophakic patients and Trabectome combined with phacoemulsification (Trabectome-phaco) in phakic patients. Methods: Cases were excluded if patients were followed for less than 12 months, diagnosed with neovascular glaucoma, or required additional glaucoma surgery within 12 months after Trabectome or Trabectome-phaco. Missing data such as type of glaucoma, gender, or age was imputed by generating 5 similar but non-identical datasets. Groups were matched using Coarsened Exact Matching based on age, gender, type of glaucoma, race, preoperative number of glaucoma medications and baseline IOP. Linear regression was used to examine IOP reduction after surgery. Results: A total of 612 cases were included in the study with 248 Trabectome cases and 364 Trabectome-phaco cases. Baseline IOP was found to be statistically significant. An average of 0.73±0.03 mmHg IOP reduction is associated with an increment of 1 mmHg in baseline IOP. Type of surgery was not statistically significant after adjusting for baseline IOP, age, baseline number of glaucoma medications and type of glaucoma. Conclusion: Patients with higher baseline IOP are expected to have a greater IOP reduction.

description: (1) Background: Healthcare workers experienced rising burnout rates during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. A practice-academic collaboration between health services researchers and the surgical services program of a Canadian tertiary-care urban hospital was used to develop, implement and evaluate a potential burnout intervention, the Synergy tool. (2) Methods: Using participatory action research methods, this project involved four key phases: (I) an environmental scan and a baseline survey assessment, (II), a workshop, (III) Synergy tool implementation and (IV) a staffing plan workshop. A follow-up survey to evaluate the impact of Synergy tool use on healthcare worker burnout will be completed in 2023. (3) Results: A baseline survey assessment indicated high to severe levels of personal and work-related burnout prior to project initiation. During the project phases, there was high staff engagement with Synergy tool use to create patient care needs profiles and staffing recommendations. (4) Conclusions: As in previous research with the Synergy tool, this patient needs assessment approach is an efficient and effective way to engage direct care providers in identifying and scoring acuity and dependency needs for their specific patient populations. The Synergy tool approach to assessing patient needs holds promise as a means to engage direct care providers and to give them greater control over their practice—potentially serving as a buffer against burnout.

description: Climate change will be one of the biggest drivers deciding the future of the natural assets of the SW Region. The predictive models on projected effects of a changing climate on these assets have been refined greatly in the last few years. These projected effects have to be incorporated into planning processes such as strategic planning for them to remain relevant. In line with this, SWCC undertook a major consultation process in 2014 with the key stakeholders in the region to update the regional NRM strategy. Supplementary info available on request.

Yellow, red, dead: are Pink gum leaves hypersensitive topsyllids or photodamage?

description: Feeding by the largely sedentary nymphs of Cardiaspina Crawford species of psyllid (Hemiptera: Psylloidea) is associated with foliar chlorosis (yellowing) of the tissues around the insect. Chlorotic lesions can subsequently become anthocyanic (associated with reddening), then necrotic and eventually affected leaves are abscised prematurely. Since Cardiaspina nymphs can accelerate leaf abscission, they are key contributors to eucalypt dieback. The synthesis of anthocyanins within feeding lesions could be explained as a response of leaves to photodamage while the synthesis of phenolic compounds (and even leaf abscission) could be considered an induced defence against the nymphs. This study investigated the changes induced in Pink gum (Eucalyptus fasciculosa) leaves by nymphs and sought to tease apart the relative contributions of feeding and photodamage to the symptoms expressed by leaves and their eventual fate.

Marine transgression and regression appear to have been a main feature of landform development in coastal northeastern Tasmania since Late Tertiary times. The present landscape is dominated by low, sandy plains created during the Last Interglacial marine transgression and by aeolian landforms which were formed during the succeeding glacial stage. The immediate coastal areas are backed by marine and aeolian landforms deposited during and since the marine transgression. ...

description: The inner shelf of the Great Barrier Reef province is characterized by active terrigenous sedimentation. In the area south of Townsville, the Burdekin River acts as a major point source of fine grained clastic sediment and contributes 3.5 x 10^6 tonnes per annum to the inner shelf. An examination of the sedimentation patterns in this area, based on 240 subtidal samples and extensive examinations of tidal flat, mangrove and supratidal terrains, has revealed that by far greatest volume of Holocene marine sediment is contained in a prograding sequence of intertidal coastal sediment bodies. Vertical accumulation on the inner shelf is limited and negligible sedimentation is occurring on the middle shelf. ...

description: The archaeological record of the Hamersley Plateau in northwestern Australia records over 45 ka of Aboriginal occupation though some of the most significant climatic events experienced by people on this continent, including the highly variable conditions of the Holocene (0-10 ka). The mid-to-late Holocene was a period of highly variable climatic conditions that impacted the availability and predictability of subsistence resources, increasing foraging risk. It was in these changing conditions that Aboriginal people practiced increased economising behaviour in the production of stone tools to reduce the cost of replacing them and to ensure they were functional under unpredictable conditions. Hiscock’s (2006) extendibility continuum and provisioning strategies were used as a framework to identify the timing and magnitude of economising behaviour in the eastern Hamersley Plateau. ...

description: Military activities often involve high-intensity exercise that can disrupt antioxidant capacity. We investigated the effects of oregano supplementation on muscle damage, oxidative stress, and plasma antioxidant markers of soldiers performing the army combat readiness test (ACRT). Twenty-four healthy male soldiers (age: 24 ± 3 years, height: 167 ± 14 cm, mass: 66 ± 3 kg) were randomized into a placebo group (n = 12) or an oregano supplementation group (n = 12). The participants consumed a capsule containing 500 mg Origanum vulgare immediately after completing the ACRT. Blood sampling was taken before exercise, immediately after exercise, and 60 and 120 min after oregano consumption. Plasma levels of creatine kinase (CK), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), total antioxidant capacity (TAC), and glutathione peroxidase (GPX) were measured at the four time points. The time × group interactions were found for CK (p < 0.0001, d = 3.64), LDH (p < 0.0001, d = 1.64), MDA (p < 0.0001, d = 9.94), SOD (p < 0.0001, d = 1.88), TAC (p < 0.0001, d = 5.68) and GPX (p < 0.0001, d = 2.38). In all variables, the difference between placebo and oregano groups were significant at 60 (p < 0.0001) and 120 (p < 0.0001) minutes after ACRT test. The main effect of time was also significant for all the variables (p < 0.0001). Our results suggest that oregano supplementation has the potential to reduce muscle damage and increase oxidative capacity following ACRT. Supplementation with oregano may serve as a dietary strategy to increase preparedness and promote recovery in military recruits.

description: Silicon photonic (SiP) sensors offer a promising platform for robust and low-cost decentralized diagnostics due to their high scalability, low limit of detection, and ability to integrate multiple sensors for multiplexed analyte detection. Their CMOS-compatible fabrication enables chip-scale miniaturization, high scalability, and low-cost mass production. Sensitive, specific detection with silicon photonic sensors is afforded through biofunctionalization of the sensor surface; consequently, this functionalization chemistry is inextricably linked to sensor performance. In this review, we first highlight the biofunctionalization needs for SiP biosensors, including sensitivity, specificity, cost, shelf-stability, and replicability and establish a set of performance criteria. We then benchmark biofunctionalization strategies for SiP biosensors against these criteria, organizing the review around three key aspects: bioreceptor selection, immobilization strategies, and patterning techniques. First, we evaluate bioreceptors, including antibodies, aptamers, nucleic acid probes, molecularly imprinted polymers, peptides, glycans, and lectins. We then compare adsorption, bioaffinity, and covalent chemistries for immobilizing bioreceptors on SiP surfaces. Finally, we compare biopatterning techniques for spatially controlling and multiplexing the biofunctionalization of SiP sensors, including microcontact printing, pin- and pipette-based spotting, microfluidic patterning in channels, inkjet printing, and microfluidic probes.

description: A technological analysis was undertaken on flaked stone artefacts from Bushranger's Cave in southeast Queensland to assess the frequency of platform preparation at different periods of the site's use. This research assesses previous findings and adds data to the development of a regional picture of manufacturing change between c. 3000 and 1500 years BP. Results reveal the presence of a previously detected manufacturing pattern (Hiscock and Hall 1988) on the chert portion of the lithic assemblage. However the results are placed under suspicion by a discussion of extensive disturbance inferred at the site. Similar results from two other sites in the Subcoastal Moreton Region provide support for continuing use of this analytical technique towards the development of a regional relative dating method in both stratified and open-air sites.

description: Authorship identification is the field of classifying a given text by its author based on the assumption that authors exhibit unique writing styles. This thesis investigates the semantic shortcomings of the vector space model by constructing a semantic kernel created from WordNet which is evaluated on the problem of authorship attribution. A multiclass SVM classifier is constructed using the one-versus-all strategy and evaluated in terms of precision, recall, accuracy and F1 scores. Results show that the use of the semantic scores from WordNet degrades the performance compared to using a linear kernel. Experiments are run to identify the best feature engineering configurations, showing that removing stopwords has a positive effect on the financial dataset Reuters while the Kaggle dataset consisting of short extracts of horror stories benefit from keeping the stopwords.

Where the Murray flows through western NSW and abutts northern western Victoria, the contrast between the river tract and the hinterland is marked. The contrast is emphasised in Mulvaney's description of the Murray in terms which invited comparison between the Murray and the Nile. ...

description: Sahul, the combined landmass of Australia and New Guinea, provides a record of behavioural modernity extending over at least the last 50,000 years. Colonised solely by anatomically and behaviourally modern humans, this continent provides an alternative record in the investigation of behavioural modernity to the extensively studied Middle Stone Age African and Upper Palaeolithic Eurasian archaeological records. In the past, the archaeological record of behavioural modernity in Sahul has been described as simple, sparse and essentially different to those records of Africa and Eurasia. These differences have been attributed to either low population densities during the Pleistocene or the loss of behavioural ‘traits’ on the journey from Africa to Sahul. While a number of studies have been undertaken, no single researcher has attempted to investigate the role of taphonomy and sampling on the representation of behavioural modernity in the archaeological record, despite Sahul being characterised by extreme environments, highly variable climates, and archaeologically, usually only small excavations.

description: This thesis presents the results of a technological analysis of the Ethic assemblage from Christmas Creek Rockshelter, southeast Queensland. Technological change occurring within the last 2000 years is noted on coarse- grained raw materials only. This is contrasted with Hiscock & Hall's (1988a; 1988b) hypothesis that there was late Holocene technological change in the Moreron Region. Their hypothesis reveals technological change on fine-grained siliceous raw materials at three rockshelters in this region. The temporal boundaries of the technological change so far noted remain somewhat unclear. The development of a relative dating system for lithic surface scatters in the Moreton Region is discussed in relation to the results. A larger sample of assemblages and radiocarbon dates is needed before a successful relative dating system can operate in this region.

description: Modern studies of economic behaviour using faunal remains from archaeological sites began with the excavation of Star Carr (Clarke.1972), but understandably, it was not until much later that site formation processes were taken into consideration when doing research on archaeological fauna! assemblages. Binford (1984a) did an in depth analysis of the faun al assemblage from Klasies River Mouth and examined the natural site formation processes to establish how they affected the composition of the fauna! assemblage. Likewise, Brain (1981) studied the taphonomy of a range of natural site formation processes in order to isolate hominid activity at the site. His ultimate aim was to establish if early hominids where "The Hunters or the Hunted ?" (Brain 1981 ). ...

description: The archaeological frontiers of the Australian Continent are still very tenuous. Contrary to the increasingly persistent frustrations of many of our European counterparts when trying to locate a new Late Pleistocene site, there is no lack of these here. Instead, a shortage of funds and of field workers restricts any major planning in regional archaeology in Australia. ...

description: The characteristics of anthocyanin and lignin are important parameters in evaluating the quality of red Toona sinensis buds. Red T. sinensis buds are prone to senescence during postharvest storage, which subsequently affects their quality and sales. However, the mechanism of senescence in red T. sinensis buds under low-temperature conditions remains unclear. In this study, red T. sinensis buds were stored at 4 °C, and their anthocyanin and lignin contents as well as the enzyme activities of PAL (phenylalanine ammonia lyase), 4CL (4-coumarate-CoA ligase), CAD (cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase) and POD (peroxidase) were determined at 0, 1, 2 and 3 d after handing. Meanwhile, the cellular structure of postharvest red T. sinensis buds was observed by microscopy. The relative expression of lignin-related and anthocyanin-related genes was analyzed using qRT-PCR. The results show that the anthocyanin content of the leaves was higher than that of the petioles. After 3 d of storage, the anthocyanin content of the leaves was 4.66 times that of the petioles. Moreover, the lignin content of the red T. sinensis buds gradually increased. Compared with 0 d, the lignin content of the leaves and petioles increased by 331.8 and 94.14 mg·g−1, respectively. The enzyme activities of PAL, 4CL, CAD and POD increased during cold storage. The intercellular space and the arrangement of the palisade tissue and sponge tissue in the mesophyll of red T. sinensis buds became smaller and closer, respectively. The secondary cell wall of xylem cells thickened, the number of xylem cells increased, and the arrangement number of the xylem cells became closed in the leaf vein and petioles during red T. sinensis bud storage. The expression levels of anthocyanin-related (Except for TsCHS and TsANS) and lignin-related genes increased during red T. sinensis bud storage and are highly consistent with the accumulation patterns of anthocyanins and lignin. This study may serve as a reference for exploring the molecular mechanisms of senescence, regulating the quality and cultivating new varieties of red T. sinensis buds that have low lignin content but high anthocyanin content after harvest.

description: The following is a comparative taphonomic analysis of fish and mammal remains from the Nara Inlet Art Site, Hook Island, off the Central Queensland coast. It focuses on the issue of intertaxonomic comparability through a quantitative comparison of the taphonomic histories of fish and mammal subassemblages. Differences in the responses of taxa to taphonomic processes need to be taken into account when interpreting past subsistence. At Nara Inlet Art Site, fish seem to be considerably under-represented in the lower levels of the site. This implies that fish were more important in subsistence at the site than appears from the results of the conventional quantitative analysis. The results of my analysis, then, support Barker’s hypothesis of Late Holocene marine specialisation in the Whitsunday region. ...

description: This project focuses on the high-resolution analysis of archaeological marine fauna assemblages, using methodologies situated in an evolutionary ecology theoretical framework. These assemblages come from eight Kaiadilt archaeological sites across the South Wellesley Archipelago, which are a valuable dataset to examine not just dietary composition of foragers in the islands but also long-term patterns in the temporal and spatial availability of subsistence resources. This study also represents the first Australian investigation that applies trophic level analysis to archaeological marine fauna assemblages in order to explore anthropogenic effects on prehistoric fisheries (e.g. Bourque et al. 2008; Reitz et al. 2009; Quitmyer and Reitz 2006). ...

description: The ongoing international debate regarding complexity in Southwest Victorian Aboriginal societies concerns unresolved issues surrounding the validity of the 19th century ethnographic record and the nature of archaeological evidence for complexity in the pre-contact period. This thesis critically re-examines SW Victorian Aboriginal societies with the aid of substantial new empirical data and by exploring the ethnographic and archaeological records through the theoretical lens of Hayden‚Äôs concept of transegalitarian socio-cultural complexity. It is contended that evidence for transegalitarian complexity is indisputably present in the ethnographic period and appears as early as the onset of the middle Holocene in the archaeological record of SW Victoria. Data from shell middens, including numerous radiocarbon age determinations, in the Cape Duquesne study area and other nearby localities are used to develop a 12,000 year long coastal archaeological sequence. Much of this period was characterised by small-scale, short-term shellfishing camps associated with the collection of individual, mobile, large shellfish. At c. 4000 cal BP there was a dramatic change with the appearance of permanent, focal coastal settlements resulting from highly organised, tightly scheduled, seasonal occupation by larger groups that stayed on the coast for longer periods. These groups utilised a broader range of shellfish species than previously while focusing on the mass collection and processing of one small, sessile species, Paphies angusta. These characteristics became more pronounced after c. 1500 cal BP. The direct historical approach is employed at the Lake Condah Outlet study area to investigate the archaeological manifestation of an ethnohistorically chronicled Aboriginal eel fishery. The late 19th century map and text, produced on the basis of first-hand observations plus information from traditional owners, provides invaluable information on the operation of a series of weirs, channels and traps as a water control and eel management system. Detailed archaeological mapping and recording of the still extant 19th century cultural features forms the basis for modelling the functioning of this system at varying lake levels, documenting the culture-based fishery form of eel aquaculture at the Lake Condah Outlet. This is the economic basis for transegalitarian features throughout SW Victoria in the ethnographic period and well into the pre-contact period. Three SW Victorian Aboriginal mortuary trees, from Moyston, Gorrinn and Cathcart, investigated using archaeological, ethnohistorical and physical anthropological data, are employed to evaluate the regional ethnographic model relating complexity in the staging of mortuary treatment to an individual‚Äôs status during their lifetime. ...
