A Health Decision Support System for Disease Diagnosis Based on Wearable Medical Sensors and Machine Learning Ensembles

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Even with an annual expenditure of more than $3 trillion, the U.S. healthcare system is far from optimal. For example, the third leading cause of death in the U.S. is preventable medical error, immediately after heart disease and cancer. Computer-based clinical decision support systems (CDSSs) have been proposed to address such deficiencies and have significantly improved clinical practice over the past decade. However, they remain limited to clinics and hospitals, and do not take advantage of patient data that are obtained on a daily basis using wearable medical sensors (WMSs) that have the ability to bridge this information gap. WMSs can collect physiological signals from anyone anywhere anytime. Thus, they have the potential to usher in an era of pervasive healthcare. However, most prior work on WMSs only focuses on hardware and protocol design, and not on an information system that can fully utilize the collected signals for efficient disease diagnosis. In this paper, for the first time, we introduce a hierarchical health decision support system for disease diagnosis that integrates health data from WMSs into CDSSs. The proposed system has a multi-tier structure, starting with a WMS tier, backed by robust machine learning, that enables diseases to be tracked individually by a disease diagnosis module. We demonstrate the feasibility of such a system through six disease diagnosis modules aimed at four ICD-10-CM disease categories. We show that the system is scalable using five more disease categories. Just the WMS tier offers impressive diagnostic accuracies for various diseases: arrhythmia (86 percent), type-2 diabetes (78 percent), urinary bladder disorder (99 percent), renal pelvis nephritis (94 percent), and hypothyroid (95 percent). We estimate that the disease diagnosis modules of all known 69,000 human diseases would require just 62 GB of storage space in the WMS tier. This is practical even in today's cloud or base station oriented WMS systems.
Clinical Research: A Globalized Network

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Clinical research has become increasingly globalized, but the extent of globalization has not been assessed. To describe the globalization of clinical research, we used all (n = 13,208) multinational trials registered at ClinicalTrials.gov to analyzed geographic connections among individual countries. Our findings indicate that 95% (n = 185) of all countries worldwide have participated in multinational clinical research. Growth in the globalization of clinical research peaked in 2009, suggesting that the global infrastructure that supports clinical research might have reached its maximum capacity. Growth in the globalization of clinical research is attributable to increased involvement of non-traditional markets, particularly in South America and Asia. Nevertheless, Europe is the most highly interconnected geographic region (60.64% of global connections), and collectively, Europe, North America, and Asia comprise more than 85% of all global connections. Therefore, while the expansion of clinical trials into non-traditional markets has increased over the last 20 years and connects countries across the globe, traditional markets still dominate multinational clinical research, which appears to have reached a maximum global capacity.
Perceptual spatial-audio coding

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

A novel technique for the perceptual coding of spatial audio is presented. This coding technique allows individualized 3D audio presentation and exploits the dichotomous roles of the lowfrequency interaural timing and level difference cues versus the high-frequency spectral cues in human sound localization. The high-frequency spectral cues are modified to match the acoustics of the listener’s outer ears, while preserving the original lowfrequency interaural cues. The psychoacoustic principles and theory behind the coding scheme are described and sound localization data are shown demonstrating the fidelity of the coding technique. Based on the coding technique, we develop the notion of directional frequency bands and give some basic requirements for a 3D audio recording and reproduction system. 1.
Selecting Performance Measures: "Objective" versus "Subjective" Measurement

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

The distinction between "objective" and "subjective" measurement is neither meaningful nor useful in human performance studies. All measurement in science and technology is necessarily filled with subjective elements, whether in selecting measures or in collecting, analyzing, or interpreting data. Empirical examples taken from several domains related to human factors show instances in which self-report (subjective) measures may be essential. Amodel process is suggested for selecting performance measures.
Feeding and contact toxicity of selected botanicals and their mixtures against Spodoptera frugiperda

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

A laboratory investigation was conducted to assess the feeding and contact toxicity of methanolic seed extracts of Khaya senegalensis, Hyptis suaveolens, Capsicum frutescens and Azadirachta indica and their mixtures (50:50), against the larvae of Spodoptera frugiperda. Extracts were tested at 2.5%, 5.0% and 10.0% (w/v), while Emamectin benzoate (5% WDG) served as the synthetic check and distilled water + 0.1 % tween 80 as the negative control. Larval mortality was monitored for seven days, and data were corrected using Abbott’s formula. Results revealed that mixture containing of H. suaveolens and A. indica consistently produced the highest mortality in both feeding and contact assays, performing comparably to the synthetic check. The findings demonstrate that these botanicals particularly combinations involving Neem, possess potent larvicidal properties and may serve as viable components of environmentally friendly integrated pest management (IPM) programs.
Astragalus raphaelis (Fabaceae), a critical species from Sicily and taxonomic remarks on A. sect. Sesamei

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

The taxonomic position of Astragalus raphaelis , a rare and misappreciated species endemic to Sicily, has been examined. In addition, its geographical distribution, ecology and conservation status, diagnostic morphological characters, pod and seed micro‐morphology and relationship with A. stella are provided. Phenetic and phylogenetic trees (based on morphological data) for A. sect Sesamei shows that A. raphaelis is a taxonomically quite isolated species, with some relationships to A. sesamoides .
Prescription Drug Coverage and Elderly Medicare Spending

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

The introduction of Medicare Part D has generated interest in the cost of providing drug coverage to the elderly.Of paramount importance --often unaccounted for in budget estimates --are the salutary effects that increased prescription drug use might have on other Medicare spending.This paper uses longitudinal data from the Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey (MCBS) to estimate how prescription drug benefits affect Medicare spending.We compare spending and service use for Medigap enrollees with and without drug coverage.Because of concerns about selection, we use variation in supply-side regulations of the individual insurance market --including guaranteed issue and community rating --as instruments for prescription drug coverage.We employ a discrete factor model to control for individual-level heterogeneity that might induce bias in the effects of drug coverage.Medigap prescription drug coverage increases drug spending by $170 or 22%, and reduces Medicare Part A spending by $350 or 13% (in 2000 dollars).Medigap prescription drug coverage reduces Medicare Part B spending, but the estimates are not statistically significant.Overall, a $1 increase in prescription drug spending is associated with a $2.06 reduction in Medicare spending.Furthermore, the substitution effect decreases as income rises, and thus provides support for the low-income assistance program of Medicare Part D.
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) risk assessment: Rural nurses' knowledge and use in a rural acute care hospital

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

It is estimated that about 2000 people die as a result of venous thromboembolism ( VTE ) each year, with a further 30 000 being hospitalized. Prophylaxis significantly reduces VTE morbidity and mortality, and thus represents a real long‐term health‐care benefit. The aim of this study was twofold: (i) to assess the current level of compliance to VTE risk assessment and prophylaxis best practice guidelines within an A ustralian rural hospital; and (ii) to determine the effectiveness of nurse education on that compliance. VTE compliance information was obtained from auditing patient notes for a 3‐month period prior to nurse education and was repeated after the education. Nurse knowledge of VTE risk assessment and prophylaxis use was also measured. Both compliance with and knowledge of best practice VTE risk assessment and prophylaxis increased following nurse education. Although the sample size was relatively small, this study has shown nurse education to be effective at increasing VTE compliance and awareness within an A ustralian rural hospital. This relatively inexpensive and simple intervention bears consideration and could lead to reductions in the morbidity and mortality associated with VTE , as well as reduction in associated health‐care costs.
Electric-field-controlled interface strain coupling and non-volatile resistance switching of La1-xBaxMnO3 thin films epitaxially grown on relaxor-based ferroelectric single crystals

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

We have fabricated magnetoelectric heterostructures by growing ferromagnetic La1-xBaxMnO3 (x = 0.2, 0.4) thin films on (001)-, (110)-, and (111)-oriented 0.31Pb(In1/2Nb1/2)O3-0.35Pb(Mg1/3Nb1/2)O3-0.34PbTiO3 (PINT) ferroelectric single-crystal substrates. Upon poling along the [001], [110], or [111] crystal direction, the electric-field-induced non-180° domain switching gives rise to a decrease in the resistance and an enhancement of the metal-to-insulator transition temperature TC of the films. By taking advantage of the 180° ferroelectric domain switching, we identify that such changes in the resistance and TC are caused by domain switching-induced strain but not domain switching-induced accumulation or depletion of charge carriers at the interface. Further, we found that the domain switching-induced strain effects can be efficiently controlled by a magnetic field, mediated by the electronic phase separation. Moreover, we determined the evolution of the strength of the electronic phase separation against temperature and magnetic field by recording the strain-tunability of the resistance [(ΔR/R)strain] under magnetic fields. Additionally, opposing effects of domain switching-induced strain on ferromagnetism above and below 197 K for the La0.8Ba0.2MnO3 film and 150 K for the La0.6Ba0.4MnO3 film, respectively, were observed and explained by the magnetoelastic effect through adjusting the magnetic anisotropy. Finally, using the reversible ferroelastic domain switching of the PINT, we realized non-volatile resistance switching of the films at room temperature, implying potential applications of the magnetoelectric heterostructure in non-volatile memory devices.
How green is their valley? Subjective vitality of Welsh language and culture in the Chubut Province, Argentina

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Drawing upon the theories and taxonomy of vitality, suggested by Giles, Bourhis, and Taylor (1977), a questionnaire was developed to uncover the subjective perceptions of Welsh language and culture in the Chubut Province. This questionnaire was distributed between September and November 2004 in seven locations with 369 completed questionnaires being returned by inhabitants of these municipalities. The distribution of the questionnaires included a wide cross-section of society to reflect perceptions of the strength of the Welsh language among the society as a whole and not just the Welsh community. This article concentrates upon important questions relating to the current perceptions of the strength of Welsh language and Welsh culture and perceptions of the prevailing historical and future trends. Analysis of the questionnaire results shows positive trends in informants' responses linked to the informants' affiliation to the Welsh community, fluency in oral Welsh, and location. Some significant differences exist according to the informants' age and the region of the province in which they live.
Renewable Technology in The Homeschooling System as an Innovation in Learning

This research is related to innovations that support new learning methods, a more flexible place, a pleasant atmosphere, freedom of thought, focus on individual goals, monitoring, and evaluation to create innovations to improve the quality of learning. The research method used is the grounded theory qualitative research method. Researchers can draw generalizations of what is observed/analyzed inductively and abstract ideas about processes, actions, or interactions based on the views of the participants being studied. The basis for homeschooling modifications in systems research is a combination of private tutoring, tutoring, and schools then added innovation to the fun learning concept, namely learning that is comfortable, getting grades, and having competence. The development of learning for advanced Indonesia is very much needed in this 5.0 era. Homeschooling in the 5.0 era has proven to be good because it is very efficient regarding time, energy, thoughts, etc. Homeschooling on learning includes: homeschooling trains students to innovate and be exploratory. Homeschooling in education makes students able to develop their potential
COVID-19 complicates global humanitarian aid response

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Subject COVID-19's impact on the global humanitarian system. Significance The COVID-19 pandemic is generating immense new humanitarian needs at the same time as negatively affecting the quantity and quality of humanitarian aid. Meanwhile, countries with existing humanitarian crises are highly vulnerable to the effects of the pandemic and ill-equipped to prevent its spread. Impacts Funding for responses to ongoing emergencies, particularly slow-onset and low-profile ones, may suffer amid competing priorities. Even large-scale and high-profile emergencies, such as the conflicts in Yemen or Syria, may struggle for funding. Unmet humanitarian needs will increase vulnerability to the effects of climate change and fuel ongoing conflicts.
Syntactic Priming

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Abstract Syntactic priming effects, or the tendency to repeat syntactic structure across otherwise unrelated utterances, have been extensively investigated over the last two decades. Because such effects rely upon the language processor recognising a syntactic relationship between two utterances, they offer a versatile behavioural tool for investigating how syntactic structure is represented by the human cognitive system. In this paper, we review existing evidence to show that such effects can be truly syntactic in nature, and that they suggest syntactic representations that in many ways resemble strikingly those proposed by theoretical linguists on the basis of nonbehavioural measures. We suggest that there is a surprising dichotomy between the pervasiveness of such effects in contexts involving language production and their apparent elusiveness in language comprehension. We consider how syntactic priming research can cast light on issues of theoretical linguistic interest, including language use in special populations, and evaluate alternative explanations for the effects.
Development of a test rig to characterise magnetic bearing system

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Over the years, researchers have been trying to find a solution for heart failure patients and also those patients waiting for a heart transplant. These issues can be resolved by the implementation of ventricular assisted device (VAD) with the advent of technology and research. Since its development, VADs have undergone multiple technology changes from the first generation of pulsatile pump to the third generation magnetic-levitated continuous flow pump. As magnetic bearings are the key components in a typical third generation VAD, it is crucial to be able to analyse and characterise their properties. The main objective of this project is to develop a test rig to characterise magnetic bearing system. The project includes new design for the magnetic bearings and its driving motor. The new design of the hybrid magnetic bearings (HMB) system is more compact and smaller in size. The detailed steps of producing these hybrid magnetic bearings have been illustrated in the design procedure. Several pre-fabrication steps are involved in the project such as the set- up of the universal fixture assembly. The latter not only facilitates the coiling of copper wires to the desired amount, but also enables one to form shape for the motor coils. The hybrid magnetic bearing will be placed in specially designed test rigs where it undergoes some vibration tests to obtain its characteristics. Through the tests, the support parameters of the hybrid magnetic bearing system can be estimated. Therefore, a more efficient control system for the VADs can be developed.
Differences in cholinergic agonist- and cholinergic antagonist-induced changes in avoidance responses between dd mice and Wistar rats.

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

Effects of pilocarpine (PILO), physostigmine (PHYSO), atropine (AT) and scopolamine (SCOP) on continuous (response-shock interval = 30 sec and shock-shock interval = 5 sec) and discrete (intertrial interval = 25 sec and warning duration = 5 sec) lever-press avoidance responses in dd strain mice and Wistar strain rats were investigated. PILO and PHYSO suppressed continuous and discrete avoidance responses in both the mice and rats. However, the mice tended to show more sensitivity than the rats to the avoidance-suppressing effect of PILO and PHYSO. AT and SCOP suppressed the avoidance responses in the mice, but facilitated them in the rats. These results suggest that the neural activities of the central muscarinic-cholinergic systems are different between dd mice and Wistar rats.
On the Significance of Psychodynamic Discourse for the Field of Consciousness Studies

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Despite the obvious confluence of concerns between psychodynamic psychology and the emerging field of consciousness studies, the extent to which psychodynamic thinking has factored into the consciousness literature has been limited. With widespread interest in “the unconscious” having significantly diminished, the present paper asks what might be implied in the shift towards the notion of “consciousness”—what about this cross-disciplinary designation has come to attract attention not only within the academic world, but also in the popular press? That the term does indeed invite contributions from a variety of disciplines makes the field both a meeting space, and a battleground. It is posited that the field of consciousness studies can be considered both a reaction to, and a reflection of, the evolving nature of psychoanalysis in the English-speaking world. After demonstrating the ways in which depth psychological discourse is implicated in the debates around consciousness, the author suggests why the notion of an unconscious mind might profitably be adopted in the consciousness literature. Stressing the clinical and ethical significance of an assumed capacity for creative autonomy in individuals, this paper grounds itself in a fundamental concern for the sociopolitical dimensions of the consciousness debates.
Coherent communication with linear optics

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

We show how to implement several continuous-variable coherent protocols with linear optics. Noise can accumulate when implementing each coherent protocol with realistic optical devices. Our analysis bounds the level of noise accumulation. We highlight the connection between a coherent channel and a nonlocal quantum nondemolition interaction and give two new protocols that implement a coherent channel. One protocol is superior to a previous method for a nonlocal quantum nondemolition interaction because it requires fewer communication resources. We then show how continuous-variable coherent superdense coding implements two nonlocal quantum nondemolition interactions with a quantum channel and bipartite entanglement. We finally show how to implement continuous-variable coherent teleportation experimentally and provide a way to verify the correctness of its operation.
On the development of discourse markers from ellipticalstructures

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Korean has a group of DMs that developed from sentential fragments through ellipsis (EDMs), i.e., those that were morpho-syntactically incapable of standing alone. They carry diverse functions across discourse domains. In particular, they tend to mark the speaker’s affect, and this development is largely due to their lexical and structural characteristics. A diachronic analysis shows that their development is closely tied to semantic generalization, scope extension, and movement to non-licensed positions. The functions of EDMs are often correlated with their characteristic prosody rather than with their forms. All EDMs involve either deictic expressions or interrogatives which are related to indexicality and vagueness that play a significant role in the development of EDM functions.
