description: In robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery (RMIS), inverse kinematics (IK) must satisfy a remote center of motion (RCM) constraint to prevent tissue damage at the incision point. However, most of existing IK methods do not account for the trade-offs between the RCM constraint and other objectives such as joint limits, task performance and manipulability optimization. This paper presents a novel method for manipulability maximization in constrained IK of surgical robots, which optimizes the robot's dexterity while respecting the RCM constraint and joint limits. Our method uses a hierarchical quadratic programming (HQP) framework that solves a series of quadratic programs with different priority levels. We evaluate our method in simulation on a 6D path tracking task for constrained and unconstrained IK scenarios for redundant kinematic chains. Our results show that our method enhances the manipulability index for all cases, with an important increase of more than 100% when a large number of degrees of freedom are available. The average computation time for solving the IK problems was under 1ms, making it suitable for real-time robot control. Our method offers a novel and effective solution to the constrained IK problem in RMIS applications.

description: Brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) aim to restore sensorimotor function to individuals suffering from neural injury and disease. Elucidating the neural encoding of sensorimotor function in the cortex and decoding sensory and motor commands from these brain areas is essential for the advancement of BMIs. In this dissertation, I present two studies for determining the neural encoding of sensorimotor function in the mouse cortex using machine learning on neural data recorded with two-photon (2p) calcium imaging. The first study applies deep learning to decode multi-limb movements of running mice from 2p calcium imaging data, demonstrating that an artificial neural network can accurately infer movements of all four limbs from neural activity in a single cortical hemisphere. Feature importance analysis reveals that decoding is driven by a small, sparsely distributed subset of neurons rather than correlations between movements of different limbs. This work provides insights into sensorimotor processing and paves the way for the development of optical BMIs. The second study investigates how somatosensation is encoded at the population level in the mouse sensorimotor cortex, using principal component analysis on three 2p calcium imaging datasets from anesthetized and awake mice with passive or spontaneous limb movements. The results reveal that somatosensory encoding is low-dimensional, with a few principal components capturing large variance. Additionally, we show that limb movement representations are conserved across animals, including the orthogonality between ipsilateral and contralateral limbs, highlighting similarities with motor processing. While individual neurons mainly encode intrinsic variables, population-level activity also represents extrinsic ones. Together, these analyses demonstrate that population-level encoding of somatosensory information in the mouse sensorimotor cortex is structured to facilitate sensorimotor integration across the brain and provides insights for the development of BMIs and neural prosthesis. Together, these studies leverage 2p calcium imaging and machine learning to deepen our understanding of how sensorimotor information is encoded in the mouse cortex. By demonstrating the application of deep learning for neural decoding and revealing the low-dimensional encoding of somatosensation at the population level, this work enhances the foundational knowledge required to develop advanced BMIs.

description: In the context of medical imaging and machine learning, one of the most pressing challenges is the effective adaptation of pre-trained models to specialized medical contexts. Despite the availability of advanced pre-trained models, their direct application to the highly specialized and diverse field of medical imaging often falls short due to the unique characteristics of medical data. This study provides a comprehensive analysis on the performance of various fine-tuning methods applied to pre-trained models across a spectrum of medical imaging domains, including X-ray, MRI, Histology, Dermoscopy, and Endoscopic surgery. We evaluated eight fine-tuning strategies, including standard techniques such as fine-tuning all layers or fine-tuning only the classifier layers, alongside methods such as gradually unfreezing layers, regularization based fine-tuning and adaptive learning rates. We selected three well-established CNN architectures (ResNet-50, DenseNet-121, and VGG-19) to cover a range of learning and feature extraction scenarios. Although our results indicate that the efficacy of these fine-tuning methods significantly varies depending on both the architecture and the medical imaging type, strategies such as combining Linear Probing with Full Fine-tuning resulted in notable improvements in over 50% of the evaluated cases, demonstrating general effectiveness across medical domains. Moreover, Auto-RGN, which dynamically adjusts learning rates, led to performance enhancements of up to 11% for specific modalities. Additionally, the DenseNet architecture showed more pronounced benefits from alternative fine-tuning approaches compared to traditional full fine-tuning. This work not only provides valuable insights for optimizing pre-trained models in medical image analysis but also suggests the potential for future research into more advanced architectures and fine-tuning methods.

description: The growing availability of well-organized Electronic Health Records (EHR) data has enabled the development of various machine learning models towards disease risk prediction. However, existing risk prediction methods overlook the heterogeneity of complex diseases, failing to model the potential disease subtypes regarding their corresponding patient visits and clinical concept subgroups. In this work, we introduce TACCO, a novel framework that jointly discovers clusters of clinical concepts and patient visits based on a hypergraph modeling of EHR data. Specifically, we develop a novel self-supervised co-clustering framework that can be guided by the risk prediction task of specific diseases. Furthermore, we enhance the hypergraph model of EHR data with textual embeddings and enforce the alignment between the clusters of clinical concepts and patient visits through a contrastive objective. Comprehensive experiments conducted on the public MIMIC-III dataset and Emory internal CRADLE dataset over the downstream clinical tasks of phenotype classification and cardiovascular risk prediction demonstrate an average 31.25% performance improvement compared to traditional ML baselines and a 5.26% improvement on top of the vanilla hypergraph model without our co-clustering mechanism. In-depth model analysis, clustering results analysis, and clinical case studies further validate the improved utilities and insightful interpretations delivered by TACCO.

description: We present DurLAR, a high-fidelity 128-channel 3D LiDAR dataset with panoramic ambient (near infrared) and reflectivity imagery, as well as a sample benchmark task using depth estimation for autonomous driving applications. Our driving platform is equipped with a high resolution 128 channel LiDAR, a 2MPix stereo camera, a lux meter and a GNSS/INS system. Ambient and reflectivity images are made available along with the LiDAR point clouds to facilitate multi-modal use of concurrent ambient and reflectivity scene information. Leveraging DurLAR, with a resolution exceeding that of prior benchmarks, we consider the task of monocular depth estimation and use this increased availability of higher resolution, yet sparse ground truth scene depth information to propose a novel joint supervised/self-supervised loss formulation. We compare performance over both our new DurLAR dataset, the established KITTI benchmark and the Cityscapes dataset. Our evaluation shows our joint use supervised and self-supervised loss terms, enabled via the superior ground truth resolution and availability within DurLAR improves the quantitative and qualitative performance of leading contemporary monocular depth estimation approaches (RMSE=3.639, Sq Rel=0.936).

description: Burnout among Intensive Care Unit (ICU) staff has emerged as a critical issue affecting both their well-being and the quality of patient care. This study aims to explore the primary factors contributing to burnout among ICU healthcare professionals, assess its impact on their mental health, and identify strategies to mitigate these challenges. A cross-sectional study was conducted in five hospitals across urban and rural settings, involving ICU nurses, physicians, and allied healthcare professionals. A mixed-methods approach was utilized, incorporating quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews to provide a comprehensive understanding of the phenomenon. A total of 250 ICU healthcare workers were invited to participate, with 180 respondents (72% response rate), of whom 50 volunteered for in-depth interviews. Data collection was conducted using the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) to measure burnout levels and mental health outcomes. Thematic analysis of interview transcripts provided further insights into the lived experiences of ICU staff. Findings revealed that high workload, emotional exhaustion, and lack of institutional support were significant contributors to burnout. Furthermore, burnout was closely linked to increased anxiety, depression, and substance use disorders. Identified mitigation strategies included workload redistribution, mental health support programs, and resilience training. This study underscores the urgent need for institutional interventions to promote mental well-being among ICU professionals and enhance patient care outcomes.

description: The prefibrotic phase of primary myelofibrosis (pre-PMF) represents a distinct subentity within the spectrum of myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Consensus Classification (ICC). Pre-PMF is characterized by unique morphological, clinical, and molecular features, distinguishing it from essential thrombocythemia (ET) and overt myelofibrosis (overt-PMF). The diagnostic process for pre-PMF relies on bone marrow histology, identification of molecular mutations and exclusion of other myeloid neoplasms. Misclassification remains a significant challenge due to overlapping phenotypes and the heterogeneity of clinical presentations, which range from asymptomatic cases to severe cytopenias and a high thrombotic risk. Management strategies for pre-PMF focus on mitigating symptom burden, reducing thromboembolic events, and preventing disease progression. Low-risk patients often benefit from observational approaches or low-dose aspirin, while cytoreductive therapies, such as hydroxyurea or interferon-alpha, are utilized in symptomatic or high-risk cases. JAK inhibitors like ruxolitinib have shown promise in addressing splenomegaly and systemic symptoms, although their role in pre-PMF requires further investigation. Advances in artificial intelligence are enhancing diagnostic precision by refining bone marrow histopathological analysis, paving the way for more accurate disease classification and tailored therapeutic strategies. This position paper integrates insights from a German expert panel discussion, underscoring the need for interdisciplinary collaboration, adherence to updated WHO/ICC diagnostic criteria, and personalized treatment approaches. By addressing diagnostic challenges and therapeutic nuances, it seeks to improve outcomes and quality of life for patients navigating the complexities of pre-PMF.

description: Background: Cardiac rhabdomyoma (RHM) is considered one of the most frequent benign heart tumors in children. However, encounters with cardiac RHM in clinical practice remain rare. Clinical information is primarily available in the form of single case reports or smaller studies with a shortage of large-scale reviews encompassing a substantial number of cases. Results: In order to congregate existing and future information on cardiac RHM we established a web-based cardiac RHM online registry using an online survey tool. In addition we integrated previously published data from individual case reports and case series. The evaluation of this paper is intended to provide a brief overview of the cohort that we have been able to include so far. Our findings mainly confirm the previous knowledge on cardiac RHM. At the same time, our cohort shows a clear heterogeneity in the treatment methods with regard to rhabdomyomas requiring therapy and revealed a bias between literature data and our registry data with regard to symptoms and need for therapy. Conclusion: In the view of the heterogeneity of treatment methods, a systematic overview of cardiac RHM is all the more important, especially as specific drug treatment options now exist. The registry should not just provide a comprehensive and informative overview of causes, time course, symptoms and therapeutic options of cardiac RHM but also facilitate information sharing among clinicians and researchers and serve as a basis for future clinical and pharmacological studies.

Efficiency and productivity in presence of undesirable outputs
Creators: name: MANELLO, Alessandro
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Bergamo
Year: 2012

description: The present thesis is composed of a short introduction aimed at introducing the topic and reviewing the literature and then three empirical articles. In the first paper the eco-efficiency levels of a group of Italian firms operating in 5 industrial sectors are computed using the directional distance function (DDF) framework. Results are analysed in a second stage where the determinants of environmental performances and the regulatory impact are investigated applying a robust econometric technique. Estimates underline that the sector-specific effect on eco-efficiency and on regulatory opportunity costs will disappear when individual characteristics of firms are considered, finally a major difficulty in dealing with environmental constraints emerges for small and medium firms. The second application deals with the scientific production of CNR?s research institutes: they produce a portfolio of products characterised by different scientific profile. The hypothesis is that there are 2 category of scientific outputs: researchers and institutes try to maximize only one of them, but the other cannot be reduced or eliminated. Obtained DDF estimates allow to verify different hypothesis: from the consistency and novelty of results in respect to the standard approach, to the TFP growth trends and concluding with quantification, in term of unpublished scientific papers, of the fund cutting occurred after the 2003 reform. Finally is proposed an efficiency analysis of the chemical industry in Italy and Germany, a mature sector where testing for the validity of Porter?s hypothesis could be particularly interested. Estimations reveal an higher eco-efficiency level for Italian firms also if they are more pollutant in absolute term. TFP growth, that takes into account reduction in emission levels, reveal a more favourable trend for German firms which at the end of period reach an eco-efficiency level similar to their counterparts. Finally the formal test for the Porter?s hypothesis lead to a rejection, revealing the absence of a positive relationship between initial regulatory costs and observed TFP growth rates.

description: Crystalline lithium silicides LixSiy are a group of Zintl-like compounds, of which Li15Si4 is observed crystallizing in Si anodes after complete electrochemical lithiation. Here, Li diffusion in Li1Si1, Li12Si7, Li13Si4 and Li15Si4 is extensively studied by means of ab initio molecular dynamics simulations and nudged elastic band calculations considering various intrinsic point defects. Li interstitials are identified as the main vehicle of diffusion due to typically low formation and migration energies. They diffuse via an interstitialcy mechanism usually involving 2 or 3 atoms. Moreover, Frenkel defects are found to play a role in Li12Si7 and Li13Si4 only, as their formation energies are relatively high in Li1Si1 and Li15Si4. All investigated intrinsic defects have an impact on energy barriers of nearby as well as farther diffusion paths.

description: Infection by high-risk human papillomavirus is known to exacerbate cervical cancer development. The host immune response is crucial in disease regression. Large-scale genetic association studies for cervical cancer have identified few susceptibility variants, mainly at the human leukocyte antigen locus on chromosome 6. We hypothesized that the host immune response modifies cervical cancer risk and performed three genome-wide association analyses for HPV16, HPV18 and HPV16/18 seropositivity in 7814, 7924, and 7924 samples from the UK Biobank, followed by validation genotyping in the German Cervigen case-control series of cervical cancer and dysplasia. In GWAS analyses, we identified two loci associated with HPV16 seropositivity (6p21.32 and 15q26.2), two loci associated with HPV18 seropositivity (5q31.2 and 14q24.3), and one locus for HPV16 and/or HPV18 seropositivity (at 6p21.32). MAGMA gene-based analysis identified HLA-DQA1 and HLA-DQB1 as genome-wide significant (GWS) genes. In validation genotyping, the genome-wide significant lead variant at 6p21.32, rs9272293 associated with overall cervical disease (OR = 0.86, p = 0.004, 95% CI = 0.78–0.95, n = 3710) and HPV16 positive invasive cancer (OR = 0.73, p = 0.005, 95% CI = 0.59–0.91, n = 1431). This variant was found to be a robust eQTL for HLA-DRB1, HLA-DQB1-AS1, C4B, HLA-DRB5, HLA-DRB6, HLA-DQB1, and HLA-DPB1 in a series of cervical epithelial tissue samples. We additionally genotyped twenty-four HPV seropositivity variants below the GWS threshold out of which eleven variants were found to be associated with cervical disease in our cohort, suggesting that further seropositivity variants may determine cervical disease outcome. Our study identifies novel genomic risk loci that associate with HPV type-specific cervical cancer and dysplasia risk and provides evidence for candidate genes at one of the risk loci.

description: The landscape of scientific research in Latin America (LA), particularly in the realms of the Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic (PBPK) and Physiologically Based Biopharmaceutic models (PBPM), is a mosaic of varied contributions, collaborations, and specializations. This study examines research production in the region using data from the Scopus and PubMed databases collected between 2011 and 2023. Brazil stands out as a prominent country in terms of the quantity of publications. When considering thematic specialization, Colombia cones first as the country with the greatest Relative Specialization Index (RSI), followed by Brazil, Cuba, Uruguay, Mexico, and Argentina. Regarding internationalization, Brazil and Mexico are currently exerting significant influence, particularly through their increasing cooperation with the United States and Europe. Interestingly, there is a lack of cooperation inside Latin America at the regional level. Regarding the contribution of Latin-American institutions, the State University of Maringá leads in number of publications, followed by the University of São Paulo and the Federal University of São Paulo. In this work, we analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of LA’s scientific contributions, offering a roadmap for future collaborative and specialized efforts in the field of PBPK and PBBM.
My Undiagnosed Autistic Life: Sequential Art Storytelling and Empathetic Connections from an Autism Perspective
Creators: name: Shepherd, Aimee
Publisher: name: Leeds Beckett University
Year: 2024

description: The aim of this study was to explore the comic design preferences of the autistic
community and to better understand the reasons behind those choices. With this, the
researcher hoped to gain a clearer view of how comics could be used to share information in
an engaging, creative, and reader-centred way. These techniques were utilised to create an
exemplar comic, through an Aut-ethnographic memoir of the researcher’s experiences of
being an undiagnosed autistic woman. Yergeau (2013) described Aut-ethnography as an
autie-ethnographic narrative in her paper regarding Theory of Mind. As an autistic
researcher, she felt this term would be appropriate to describe research which has been
studied from the inside out.
A mixed-methods approach combining Aut-ethnography and Constructivist Grounded
Theory (CGT) - combining surveys, an online art exhibit and interviews - allowed for a
thorough collection of data and analysis. Surveys provided a view of the autistic community’s
tastes in comic books and why they chose comics to engage with. As well as giving an in depth outline of specific likes and dislikes regarding design features, while interviews
allowed a thorough understanding of those tastes and provided important conversations
about educational diversity.
Initial and focused coding was used to develop the final categories which suggested
that (1) The Impact of the Comic Community, (2) Comic Accessibility, (3) Influence of Media,
(4) Aesthetics that Induce Escapism, (5) Positive use of Comics in Pedagogy, and (6)
Diverse Learning Options were key themes that reflected the importance of the ever-present
theme of empathy. Not all participants had access to comic book shops, some feared what
people thought about the genre of comics they enjoyed, and the aesthetics of comics
allowed them to escape out of a difficult world. The central theme of empathy reflects the
importance of having a diverse and accepting society. This also indicates that autistic people
seek out empathetic content with a focus on the history of the characters, immersive world
building and relatable story writing. This helps the individual connect with an immersive
4
world which is important for their physical and mental wellbeing. This research contributes to
knowledge by suggesting that the empathetic connection between graphic texts and reader,
with their combination of imagery and information, could improve neurodiverse people’s
understanding and knowledge, grip their attention, and motivate people to have
conversations between each other and institutions.
