description: The research work addresses mainly issues related to the adoption of models, methodologies and knowledge management tools that implement a pervasive use of the latest technologies in the area of Semantic Web for the improvement of business processes and Enterprise 2.0 applications. The first phase of the research has focused on the study and analysis of the state of the art and the problems of Knowledge Discovery database, paying more attention to the data mining systems. The most innovative approaches which were investigated for the "Enterprise Knowledge Engineering" are listed below. In detail, the problems analyzed are those relating to architectural aspects and the integration of Legacy Systems (or not). The contribution of research that is intended to give, consists in the identification and definition of a uniform and general model, a "Knowledge Enterprise Model", the original model with respect to the canonical approaches of enterprise architecture (for example with respect to the Object Management - OMG - standard). The introduction of the tools and principles of Enterprise 2.0 in the company have been investigated and, simultaneously, Semantic Enterprise based appropriate solutions have been defined to the problem of fragmentation of information and improvement of the process of knowledge discovery and functional knowledge sharing. All studies and analysis are finalized and validated by defining a methodology and related software tools to support, for the improvement of processes related to the life cycles of best practices across the enterprise. Collaborative tools, knowledge modeling, algorithms, knowledge discovery and extraction are applied synergistically to support these processes. [edited by Author]

description: Line intensities and oscillator strengths for the controversial 3C and 3D astrophysically relevant lines in neonlike Fe${}^{16+}$ ions are calculated. We show that, for strong x-ray sources, the modeling of the spectral lines by a peak with an area proportional to the oscillator strength is not sufficient and non-linear dynamical effects have to be taken into account. Furthermore, a large-scale configuration-interaction calculation of oscillator strengths is performed with the inclusion of higher-order electron-correlation effects. The dynamical effects give a possible resolution of discrepancies of theory and experiment found by recent measurements, which motivates the use of light-matter interaction models also valid for strong light fields in the analysis and interpretation of astrophysical and laboratory spectra.

description: The Canadian/American regional group of the International Clinical Epidemiology Network (INCLEN) invites SGIM members to join in an international network dedicated to improving health in low and middle-income countries and reducing health disparities in North America—not only because many goals and activities of the 2 organizations are compatible such as evidence-based medicine, mentoring, and training; but because collaboration between SGIM and INCLEN could strengthen both groups. With increasing brain drain from the developing world to the North, there is an everincreasing need for academic contributions from the North to swing the balance toward brain gain for the South. SGIM members have the academic expertise to make an important contribution to global health. Participation and contribution from SGIM members is welcomed at the individual or organizational level. We invite you to explore possible partnership and collaboration.
MetaEvoMining: a tool for the exploration of novel biosynthetic pathways applied to polluted ocean metagenomic data
Creators: name: Arredondo, Andrés

description: The problem of finding novel chemistry, such as new antibiotics, pigments, or other chemical pathways, is always relevant for humanity. Genomic data has been an incredibly useful resource for finding new biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs). The collection of metagenomic data has increased in the last 20 years; recent studies offer as public data more than 10,000 metagenomes of the Earth. In genomic data, EvoMining is a tool that has been used as a strategy to discover new enzymes recruited by the specialized metabolism. EvoMining has not been used in metagenomic data despite available public datasets leaving a big amount of BGCs unexplored by mining algorithms. To connect EvoMining with metagenomic data, we developed a Bioconductor open-source package that enables this connection. One environment that scientists are particularly interested in is polluted waters. This work uses data collected from an enriched experiment of ocean samples of hydrocarbon-polluted zones also to elucidate the microorganism’s novel solutions to deal with this environment. To explore bacteria novel-BGCs, we use an Evomining adaptation to metagenomic data. To find enzyme families repurposed into specialized metabolism, EvoMining uses evolutionary-based distances in genomes. In enzyme families from conserved metabolism, EvoMining finds those families that have expanded their copy number on genomes in a given lineage. After comparison with a database of experimentally validated BGCs, EvoMining predicts novel natural products becoming an alternative strategy to analyze metagenomic information. The difficulty of using EvoMining on metagenomic data is that there is no longer knowledge about copy numbers on a genome, and taxonomic classification may need to be more precise. Nevertheless, after taxonomic assignation, given an enzyme family, metagenomic information can be complemented with genomic data, allowing one to make more reliable predictions. Metagenomics studies the genetic content of entire communities of microorganisms that live in a certain environment. These microorganisms interact to improve their survival in an environment full of antagonism. The genomic information of these entire communities can serve us to discover new chemical pathways. This MetaEvoMining R package is a tool that allows us to explore data from contaminated oceans and will help other researchers lead to new discoveries about the metabolism of huge amounts of metagenomic data and find useful knowledge.
Klinische Sozialarbeit, Beziehungsgestaltung und tiergestützte Interventionen: Inwiefern tiergestützte Interventionen die Beziehungsgestaltung zwischen klinischen Sozialarbeitenden und Erwachsenen mit einer Depression unterstützen können

description: Noemi Conod und Jennifer Bird befassen sich in dieser Bachelorarbeit mit der Frage, inwiefern
tiergestützte Interventionen die Beziehungsgestaltung zwischen klinischen Sozialarbeitenden
und Erwachsenen mit einer Depression unterstützen können. Die Arbeit trägt den Titel
«Klinische Sozialarbeit, Beziehungsgestaltung und tiergestützte Interventionen» und
fokussiert sich auf die Zielgruppe der Erwachsenen mit einer schweren Major Depression,
welche sich in einem stationären Setting befinden. Nebst dem Störungsbild der Depression
und deren Auswirkungen auf den Alltag wird daher die klinische Sozialarbeit in der stationären
Psychiatrie thematisiert und wie mit der genannten Zielgruppe dort gearbeitet wird. Ein
wichtiger Punkt für die Zusammenarbeit ist die Beziehungsgestaltung. Diese kann für klinische
Sozialarbeitende herausfordernd sein, da depressiv Erkrankte zum einen zahlreiche
Symptome aufweisen können, welche deren Willen, Antrieb und Interesse hemmen und zum
anderen, weil sie zur hard-to-reach Klientel gehören können. Um einen alternativen und
natürlichen Zugang zu Betroffenen zu schaffen, könnten tiergestützte Interventionen
eingesetzt werden und so die Beziehungsgestaltung unterstützen. Denn Tiere haben
zahlreiche bio-psycho-soziale Wirkungen auf den Menschen wie positivere Gestimmtheit oder
Stärkung des Selbstbewusstseins und können auf diverse Arten, beispielsweise als
Eisbrecher in der Beratung eingesetzt werden. Leider fehlt es an aussagekräftiger Empirie in
diesem Bereich, was als Ansatzpunkt für die Praxis gesehen werden kann.

Planar Hall effect in Y3Fe5O12(YIG)/IrMn films
Creators: name: Zhang, Xu

Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)

description: The planar Hall effect of IrMn on an yttrium iron garnet (YIG = Y3Fe5O12) was measured in the magnetic field rotating in the film plane. The magnetic field angle dependence of planar Hall resistance (PHR) has been observed in YIG/IrMn bilayer at different temperatures, while the GGG/IrMn (GGG= Gd3Ga5O12) shows constant PHR for different magnetic field angles at both 10 K and 300 K. This provides evidence that IrMn has interfacial spins which can be led by FM in YIG/IrMn structure. A hysteresis can be observed in PHR-magnetic field angle loop of YIG/IrMn films at 10 K, indicating the irreversible switching of IrMn interfacial spins at low temperature.

description: The performance of prediction models is often based on "abstract metrics" that estimate the model's ability to limit residual errors between the observed and predicted values. However, meaningful evaluation and selection of prediction models for end-user domains requires holistic and application-sensitive performance measures. Inspired by energy consumption prediction models used in the emerging "big data" domain of Smart Power Grids, we propose a suite of performance measures to rationally compare models along the dimensions of scale independence, reliability, volatility and cost. We include both application independent and dependent measures, the latter parameterized to allow customization by domain experts to fit their scenario. While our measures are generalizable to other domains, we offer an empirical analysis using real energy use data for three Smart Grid applications: planning, customer education and demand response, which are relevant for energy sustainability. Our results underscore the value of the proposed measures to offer a deeper insight into models' behavior and their impact on real applications, which benefit both data mining researchers and practitioners.

description: Homomorphic Encryption (HE) is a cryptographic scheme that enables arbitrary computations over encrypted data. It offers perfect protection for data at rest, in use, and in transit because encrypted data can be analyzed without decryption. We introduce HEaaN, a new scalable privacy-preserving data analysis tool that uses HE technology. HEaaN provides various statistics and machine learning toolkits, such as linear models, logistic regression, and more. The package offers user-friendly APIs similar to those of popular data analysis tools like Pandas and scikit-learn in Python and R. Additionally, HEaaN supports data analysis such as Polygenic Risk Scores and Ancestry Inference and integrates with tools developed within R/Bioconductor packages.

description: The goal of this work is to help mitigate the already existing gender wage gap by supplying unbiased job recommendations based on resumes from job seekers. We employ a generative adversarial network to remove gender bias from word2vec representations of 12M job vacancy texts and 900k resumes. Our results show that representations created from recruitment texts contain algorithmic bias and that this bias results in real-world consequences for recommendation systems. Without controlling for bias, women are recommended jobs with significantly lower salary in our data. With adversarially fair representations, this wage gap disappears, meaning that our debiased job recommendations reduce wage discrimination. We conclude that adversarial debiasing of word representations can increase real-world fairness of systems and thus may be part of the solution for creating fairness-aware recommendation systems.

description: This paper aims at building a unified framework to deal with a wide class of local and nonlocal translation-invariant geometric flows. First, we introduce a class of generalized curvatures, and prove the existence and uniqueness for the level set formulation of the corresponding geometric flows. We then introduce a class of generalized perimeters, whose first variation is an admissible generalized curvature. Within this class, we implement a minimizing movements scheme and we prove that it approximates the viscosity solution of the corresponding level set PDE. We also describe several examples and applications. Besides recovering and presenting in a unified way existence, uniqueness, and approximation results for several geometric motions already studied and scattered in the literature, the theory developed in this paper allows us to establish also new results.

description: ContextStudies documenting racial/ethnic disparities in health care frequently implicate physicians’ unconscious biases. No study to date has measured physicians’ unconscious racial bias to test whether this predicts physicians’ clinical decisions.ObjectiveTo test whether physicians show implicit race bias and whether the magnitude of such bias predicts thrombolysis recommendations for black and white patients with acute coronary syndromes.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsAn internet-based tool comprising a clinical vignette of a patient presenting to the emergency department with an acute coronary syndrome, followed by a questionnaire and three Implicit Association Tests (IATs). Study invitations were e-mailed to all internal medicine and emergency medicine residents at four academic medical centers in Atlanta and Boston; 287 completed the study, met inclusion criteria, and were randomized to either a black or white vignette patient.Main Outcome MeasuresIAT scores (normal continuous variable) measuring physicians’ implicit race preference and perceptions of cooperativeness. Physicians’ attribution of symptoms to coronary artery disease for vignette patients with randomly assigned race, and their decisions about thrombolysis. Assessment of physicians’ explicit racial biases by questionnaire.ResultsPhysicians reported no explicit preference for white versus black patients or differences in perceived cooperativeness. In contrast, IATs revealed implicit preference favoring white Americans (mean IAT score = 0.36, P < .001, one-sample t test) and implicit stereotypes of black Americans as less cooperative with medical procedures (mean IAT score 0.22, P < .001), and less cooperative generally (mean IAT score 0.30, P < .001). As physicians’ prowhite implicit bias increased, so did their likelihood of treating white patients and not treating black patients with thrombolysis (P = .009).ConclusionsThis study represents the first evidence of unconscious (implicit) race bias among physicians, its dissociation from conscious (explicit) bias, and its predictive validity. Results suggest that physicians’ unconscious biases may contribute to racial/ethnic disparities in use of medical procedures such as thrombolysis for myocardial infarction.

description: The Callebaut inequality says that \begin{align*} \sum_{ j=1}^n \left(A_j\sharp B_j\right)\leq \left(\sum_{ j=1}^n A_j σB_j\right)\sharp\left(\sum_{ j=1}^n A_j σ^{\bot} B_j\right)\leq\left(\sum_{ j=1}^n A_j\right)\sharp \left(\sum_{ j=1}^nB_j\right)\,, \end{align*} where $A_j, B_j\,\,(1\leq j\leq n)$ are positive invertible operators and $σ$ and $σ^\perp$ are an operator mean and its dual in the sense of Kabo and Ando, respectively. In this paper we employ the Mond--Pečarić method as well as some operator techniques to establish a complementary inequality to the above one under mild conditions. We also present some refinements of a Callebaut type inequality involving the weighted geometric mean and Hadamard products of Hilbert space operators.

description: Depremler, hiç beklenmedik bir zamanda meydana gelen, meydana geldiği toplumu ve orada yaşayan insanları psikolojik olarak derinden etkileyen, can, mal ve ekonomik kayıplara neden olan doğal afetlerden biridir. 6 Şubat 2023 tarihinde Kahramanmaraş’ta meydana gelen depremler psikolojik travmaya yol açarak kişilerin hem sağlığını hem de psikolojik sağlıklarını negatif yönde etkilemiştir. Deprem yaşayan kişilerde başta Travma sonrası stres bozukluğu (TSSB), depresyon ve kaygı olmak üzere birçok psikolojik belirtiler görülebilmektedir. Travmatik olaylar genellikle insanları ruhsal, bedensel ve sosyo-ekonomik açıdan negatif etkilemektedir. Fakat bazı durumlarda yaşanan travmalar olumlu etkiler yaratarak bireyde gelişime sebep olmaktadır. Travma sonrası büyüme, travmatik yaşantı sonrasında kişinin bu stresle başa çıkarak gösterdiği gelişimdir.

description: Das Ziel dieser Masterarbeit ist es das Thema post-quantum Kryptografie zu beleuchten. Hierfür wird einleitend das Thema Quantencomputer allgemein erläutert. Dies soll zeigen, wie Quantencomputer im Vergleich zu traditionellen Computern arbeiten. Dies beinhaltet welche Realisierungsformen es gibt, welche Potentiale diese besitzen aber auch welchen Einfluss dies auf die Informationssicherheit hat. Klassische, häufig verwendete Algorithmen der Gegenwart werden hierfür genauer beschrieben und wie anfällig das diese gegen Quantencomputer sind. Doch es gibt alternativen die langsam an Bedeutung gewinnen. Das Feld der post-quanten Kryptografie beschäftigt sich mit neuen Verfahren welche gegen herkömmliche Computer als auch gegen Quantencomputer sicher sind. In dieser Arbeit wird dieses noch recht junge Thema mithilfe von Experten erarbeitet und soll ein Bild er derzeitigen Lage liefern, und aufzeigen wo Handlungsbedarf besteht. Die erzielten Ergebnisse werden abschließend auf ein ausgewähltes System im Gesundheitswesen angewendet und soll zeigen wie gut dieses gegen solche Angriffe aufgestellt wäre.
description: This master’s thesis is about post-quantum cryptography. Therefore, it shows how quantum computers differ from traditional computers, what kind of quantum computers do exist, and what strengths they have. But the focus lies on the threat to information security. For this purpose, the paper shows how traditional cryptographic algorithms work and how vulnerable they are against quantum computers. The paper also shows the possible alternatives. This field is called post-quantum cryptography, and these algorithms are resistant against traditional computers and also against quantum computers. In this paper, expert interviews illustrated an outline of the threat and where it is mandatory to react. At least the results are applied to an IT system in the health sector, and it is analyzed how vulnerable it would be against quantum computers.

description: Colorectal cancer (CRC) screening has been supported by strong research evidence and recommended in clinical practice guidelines for more than a decade. Yet screening rates in the United States remain low, especially relative to other preventable diseases such as breast and cervical cancer. To understand the reasons, the National Cancer Institute and Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality sponsored a review of CRC screening implementation in primary care and a program of research funded by these organizations. The evidence base for improving CRC screening supports the value of a New Model of Primary Care Delivery: 1. a team approach, in which responsibility for screening tasks is shared among other members of the practice, would help address physicians’ lack of time for preventive care; 2. information systems can identify eligible patients and remind them when screening is due; 3. involving patients in decisions about their own care may enhance screening participation; 4. monitoring practice performance, supported by information systems, can help target patients at increased risk because of family history or social disadvantage; 5. reimbursement for services outside the traditional provider—patient encounter, such as telephone and e-mail contacts, may foster enhanced screening delivery; 6. training opportunities in communication, cultural competence, and use of information technologies would improve provider competence in core elements of screening programs. Improvement in CRC screening rates largely depends on the efforts of primary care practices to implement effective systems and procedures for screening delivery. Active engagement and support of practices are essential for the enormous potential of CRC screening to be realized.

description: BACKGROUNDMany Americans lack health insurance. Despite good evidence that lack of insurance compromises access to care, few prospective studies examine its relationship to health outcomes.OBJECTIVETo determine the relationship between insurance and cardiovascular outcomes and the relationship between insurance and selected process measures.DESIGN AND PARTICIPANTSWe used data from 15,792 participants in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study, a prospective cohort study. Participants were enrolled in 1987–1989 and returned for follow-up visits every 3years, for a total of 4 visits.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURESWe estimated the hazard of myocardial infarction, stroke, and death associated with insurance status using Cox proportional hazard modeling. We used generalized estimating equations to examine the association between insurance status and risk of (1) reporting no routine physical examinations, (2) being unaware of a personal cardiovascular risk condition, and (3) inadequate control of cardiovascular risk conditions.RESULTSPersons without insurance had higher rates of stroke (adjusted hazard ratio, 95% CI 1.22–2.22) and death (adjusted hazard ratio 1.26, 95% CI 1.03–1.53), but not myocardial infarction, than those who were insured. The uninsured were less likely to report routine physical examinations (adjusted risk ratio 1.13, 95% CI 1.08–1.18); more likely to be unaware of hypertension (adjusted risk ratio 1.12, 95% CI 1.00–1.25) and hyperlipidemia (adjusted risk ratio 1.11, 95% CI 1.03–1.19); and more likely to have poor blood pressure control (adjusted risk ratio 1.23, 95% CI 1.08–1.39).CONCLUSIONSLack of health insurance is associated with increased rates of stroke and death and with less awareness and control of cardiovascular risk conditions. Health insurance may improve cardiovascular risk factor awareness, control and outcomes.

description: The path integral approach offers not only an exact expression for the non- equilibrium dynamics of dissipative quantum systems, but is also a convenient starting point for perturbative treatments. An alternative way to explore the influence of friction in the quantum realm is based on master equations which require, however, in one or the other aspect approximations. Here it is discussed under which conditions and limitations Markovian master equations can be derived from exact path integrals thus providing a firm basis for their applicability.
