A pilot study on interactive decision trees

The Dutch share of the company, Wolters Kluwer Nederland B.V, makes use
of an online information portal called Navigator to provide information and
functionality to primarily law and tax professionals. The company is focussed
on digitizing information and believes publishing a book online is not the
same as being an online publisher. A new customer need was identified
to provide users with practical content that helps the user get to the right
information efficiently. The company’s attention was drawn to a solution
called interactive decision trees. A pilot study is performed to identify what is
needed to incorporate interactive decision trees in the Navigator and how the
decision trees can be visually presented to the user.
The identified customer needs include the ability to find the trees and
favourite the trees in the Navigator. It should be possible to print the
interactive decision tree and to save it to the computer. The user wants to
be able to go back to previous answers and be able to change the answers.
Design principles defined based on a broad analysis of interactive decision
trees include guidelines about the overview, progress indication, consistency,
scalability, accessible for everyone, flexibility and attention.
Ideas and concepts are generated and tested with users in a user test. The
perspective of an author, publisher and manager is also gathered. The
result of this test phase is recommendations for the final visual design of an
interactive decision tree page in the Navigator based on the earlier defined
design principles. The most important recommendations include show all the
answers of previous questions, incorporate a categorisation of the questions,
integrate the trees in the Navigator, add an elaborated explanation (in-text or
in a separate window) and the recommended elements to include on the first
page are a title, a short description and the first question.
The implementation plan is about aspects to think of when integrating
interactive decision trees in the Navigator. First the real need of the customer
need and the result of a decision tree should be defined. For the business
perspective outsource options should be investigated and data control needs
to be assigned. An input environment needs to be created for the author and
a template for writing interactive decision trees is recommended. The authors
need to be prepared for this different way of writing. Also important is the
terminology used in both the title as the content of the decision tree. The new
functionality ‘decision trees’ should be communicated to the user and it is
important to make sure the user trusts the system.
The user is interested in this new functionality meaning further research and
detailed plans, continuing on the information presented in this report, should
be carried out to start the process of integrating interactive decision trees in
the Navigator.

Interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis of fibroblast-like synoviocytes of patients with rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis

We discuss the presence of anti-keratin antibodies (AKA) of the IgG class in patients with defined juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA).An indirect immunofluorescence test and rat oesophagus substrate was used for the detection and quantification of AKA antibodies in patients´ sera.Overall 33/60 patients with JIA had sera positive for AKA (55 %, P = 0,0001) ranging from 1:10 to 1:160 dilutions.Following idiopathic arthritis of childhood classification criteria AKA occurred in 2/7 patients with systemic disease (28,6 %), in 13/30 patients with RF negative polyarthritis (43,3 %, P = 0,008) and in 15/18 RF positive polyarthritis (83,3 %, P = 0,000002).AKA were also found in a small cohort of patients with oligoarthritis (1/3) and psoriatic arthritis (2/2).AKA positivity occurred in 3/26 healthy controls at a 1:20 dilution.The presence of AKA was correlated as well as with the severity of the disease.Our study revealed that AKA was present overall in 18/29 patients (62%) with severe JIA and in 12/26 patients (46,2 %) with non-severe disease, however this did not reach statistical significance (P = 0,18).We also observed that AKA remained positive regardless of disease activity.AKA were detectable in 55,6 % patients with active JIA and in 48,6 % patients in the complete or near remission.

A VIEW ON THE PROBLEM OF INADEQUATE SCREENING OF COLORECTAL CANCER IN UKRAINE

The incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) is increasing worldwide and it is the second most common cause of cancer death. There is a lot of investigations and improvement to rise quality of early diagnosis, successful treatment and effective preventions of colorectal cancer. Nowadays available few guidelines of international and national organizations what support effectiveness of screening programs. Colorectal cancer screening is effective way to decrease incidence and mortality with strong evidence confirmed by a lot of investigations of different scientific groups. Currently, Ukraine doesn’t have an established colorectal cancer program, what need to be changed as soon as possible. A lot of patients in Ukraine wait at home till the beginning of clinical symptoms, what often is the representation of later stage of diseases; and of course treatment of patients with later stage of diseases need more costs for treatment and show worst results of morbidity and mortality rate compare with patients treated at the early stage of diseases. We created a simulation Markov model and demonstrated that the implementation of the national screening program for colorectal cancer in Ukraine will be cost saving and will decrease the mortality from colorectal cancer significantly.

Protein Profiling In Alanine Aminotransferase Induced Patient Cohort Using Acetaminophen

Sensitive and predictive DILI (Drug Induced Liver Injury) biomarkers are needed in drug R&amp;D to improve early detection of hepatotoxicity. The discovery of DILI biomarkers that demonstrate the predictive power to identify individuals at risk to DILI would represent a major advance in the development of personalized healthcare approaches. In this healthy volunteer acetaminophen study (4g/day for 7 days, with 3 monitored nontreatment days before and 4 after), 450 serum samples from 32 subjects were analyzed using protein profiling by antibody suspension bead arrays. Multiparallel protein profiles were generated using a DILI target protein array with 300 antibodies, where the antibodies were selected based on previous literature findings of putative DILI biomarkers and a screening process using pre dose samples from the same cohort. Of the 32 subjects, 16 were found to develop an elevated ALT value (2Xbaseline, responders). Using the plasma profiling approach together with multivariate statistical analysis some novel findings linked to lipid metabolism were found and more important, endogenous protein profiles in baseline samples (prior to treatment) with predictive power for ALT elevations were identified.

On Distinguishability of Anomalies as Physical Faults or Actuation Cyberattacks

Increased automation has created an impetus to integrate infrastructure with wide-spread connectivity in order to improve efficiency, sustainability, autonomy, and security. Nonetheless, this reliance on connectivity and the inevitability of complexity in this system increases the vulnerabilities to physical faults or degradation and external cyber-threats. However, strategies to counteract faults and cyberattacks would be widely different and thus it is vital to not only detect but also to identify the nature of the anomaly that is present in these systems. In this work, we propose a mathematical framework to distinguish between physical faults and cyberattack using a sliding mode based unknown input observer. Finally, we present simulation case studies to distinguish between physical faults and cyberattacks using the proposed Distinguishability metric and criterion. The simulation results show that the proposed framework successfully distinguishes between faults and cyberattacks.

Valsalva Retinopathy : A Case ReportValsalva Retinopathy : A Case Report

Valsalva retinopathy is characterised by pre-retinal haemorrhage which presents with unilateral, sudden, painless diminution of vision. Pre-retinal haemorrhage caused by sudden rise in venous pressure was first termed as Valsalva haemorrhage by Duane TD in 1972. It is caused by rupture of superficial retinal capillaries due to increased intra-ocular venous pressure following increase in intra-thoracic or intra-abdominal pressure. It resolves in few weeks or month and vision returns to normal depending on the location of the bleed on the retina. Observation, Nd:YAG (neodymium-doped yttrium aluminium garnet) laser and Argon laser hyaloidotomy, vitrectomy are effective treatment options for eyes with Valsalva retinopathy. Here we present a case of a 32 year old female with Valsalva retinopathy with subhyaloid haemorrhageafter an episode of vomiting who was treated with Nd:YAG laser hyaloidotomy with a good visual outcome.The novelty of this case report lies in the fact that although conservative management is practiced more often with similar prognosis, early intervention by Nd:YAG laser hyaloidotomycan benefit the patient with marked improvement and rapid recovery.

Projection in Topographic Names

DERIVEDfrom a physical peculiarity of the feature to be named, such as its color, shape, size, location (Blue Ridge, Long Island, Grand Canyon, Lake Superior), or else the name may have no such base whatever but may serve to perpetuate the memory of an individual, an event, or an idea -be it arbitrarily or because of a historic connection (Mt.Washington, Lake Erie, Hudson River).In South Dakota, for instance, when it comes to classification of peak names, the largest group, 17 out of 48, is composed of those named for individuals ... The second largest group represents those names which are descriptive of the peaks they identify, six in number, such as Twin and Baldy Peaks. 1 It is the latter type of name that interests us here.If we examine the "descriptive" names, we find that the nature of the mental processes which entered into the act of "describing" may differ greatly.At the one extreme, we have the purely descriptive names, i.e. those that consist simply in naming the characteristic quality of an object: To call a body of water "Blue Lake" or a chain of peaks "Rocky Mountains" is merely to state a factual observation in the simplest and most direct terms: the lake is blue, the mountains are rocky.Other names imply a comparison."Fallen Leaf Lake" (because the lake is shaped like a leaf) states a physical quality but not simply descriptively.These names might be called descriptiveprojective or comparational.At the other extreme we have the descriptive element forced into a secondary place in favor of a more imaginative and less obvious comparison -in names like "the Rabbit Ears" or "Bridal Falls": the projective names.

Programmed Cell Death in Procyclic Form Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense - Identification of Differentially Expressed Genes during Con A Induced Death

Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense can be induced to undergo apoptosis after stimulation with Con A. As cell death in these parasites is associated with de novo gene expression we have applied a differential display technique, Randomly Amplified Differential Expressed Sequence-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RADES-PCR) to the study of gene expression during Con A induced cell death in these organisms. Twenty-two differentially displayed products have been cloned and sequenced. These represent the first endogenous genes to be identified as implicated in cellular death in trypanosomatids (the most primitive eukaryote in which apoptosis has been described). Evidence for an ancestral death machinery, 'proto-apoptosis' in single celled organisms is discussed.

META-AMPHION: synthesis of efficient domain-specific program synthesis systems

AMPHION is a real-world knowledge-based software engineering (KBSE) system whose program synthesis subsystem is based on deductive synthesis. AMPHION has a domain-independent generic architecture that is specialized to a domain through a declarative theory. Program synthesis has been made efficient and automatic through manual tuning of theorem-proving strategies and tactics, and careful formulation of domain theories. The META-AMPHION system is being developed to empower domain experts to develop, maintain, and evolve their own AMPHION applications. META-AMPHION is intended to be the knowledge-based analogue of application-generator generator technology. The paper describes technology for automatically transforming declarative domain theories into efficient domain-specific program synthesis systems.

Using Lagging and Leading Indicators and the Importance of Benchmarking Contractor Performance

Abstract Statistics show what gets measured gets done. Measuring and benchmarking contractor performance is a key driver of continual health and safety efforts in the oil and gas industry. Our research, drawn from 15 years of global experience with 450+ Clients and 60,000+ contractors, highlights the key leading and lagging performance indicators used in the oil and gas industry and introduces leading edge methods to identify vital Key Performance Indicators. Monitoring and benchmarking tools such as collection and tracking of contractor work hours, incident rates, action items, evaluations and written health and safety procedures are all crucial to effective ongoing management of contractor performance. In addition, having a system for contractors to be able to identify potential safety system gaps that may need their attention, can further drive improvements. Our paper demonstrates some basic data trending and analysis methods plus leading edge methods, including regression and correlation statistical analysis approaches being used in the industry to identify factors that are positively or negatively associated with increased or decreased health and safety performance. Such methods are useful in identifying vital Key Performance Indicators (KPI's) to measure and monitor. Real world analytical examples will be presented and discussed. Using data driven hiring decisions is a vital part of any prevention plan. Through use of a system for managing and evaluating contractor safety data, Clients have seen significant improvement in their contractors' performance. Case studies of clients who have seen improvement of more than 90% for their contractors' incident rates will be discussed.

Improving Coastal Flood Forecasting Services of the Environmental Agency

This paper describes how preventive flood works are susceptible to overtopping and therefore associated with a residual risk of flooding. The primary objectives of preventive flood works are to save life, minimize damage, reduce disruption to communication lines, mitigate trauma and restore normalcy. Residual flood risks are managed by providing information through flood forecasting and warning (FFW (2) seeking generic definitions for accuracy, timeliness and reliability; (3) Categorization of modeling techniques and physical systems; (4) a risk-based and defensible approach to selecting a modeling solution; and (5) integrating FF&W services to other flood management measures.

MOTION OF IONS ALONG LINEAR VORTICES

Abstract Ions and electron bubbles are captured by the vortex lines which occur in a rotating superfluid sample. Once captured, however, the charges can move along the quantized vortex lines. On one hand, this degree of freedom allows the researcher to use ions to detect the appearance of single, quantized vortex lines. On the other hand, the study of the ion motion along the lines gives important pieces of information on the structure and dynamics of vortices. In fact, the ion motion along the lines is limited by scattering on 3He impurities captured by the vorticity field and by vortex waves, i.e., columnar oscillation of the vortex lines. Experiments and theory of vortex wave-, roton, and 3He impurity scattering on vortex lines are described.

Cigarettes and addiction

of the Royal College of Psychiatrists has written that the bill represents "the worst of both worlds.The mentally ill will be subject to the power of 'arrest' and to no apparent purpose.Psychiatrists remain deeply sceptical and believe that the bill will not provide the extra public safety which the Government is hoping for.""At a recent meeting of the Parliamentary All Party Mental Health Group all professional, user, and other relevant bodies (except the National Schizophrenia Fellowship, representing carers) heavily criticised the bill.It is therefore opposed by nearly all the groups that will implement or be affected by aftercare under supervision.The bill legally tinkers when what is needed is radical revision of the Mental Health Act 1983 designed to take account of the massive change in the provision of psychiatric services towards the community."2It will fail in its stated purpose because it attempts to substitute legal rules for resources.It should be resisted and, if enacted, ignored.It removes civil rights without offering any appreciable clinical benefit and thus eschews any principle of reciprocity.12

Exercise-Induced Increase in Plasma Arachidonic Acid and Thromboxane B2 in Healthy Men

We examined the effects of beta-blockade with the nonselective antagonist propranolol, the cardioselective antagonist atenolol, and the cardioselective antagonist with partial agonist activity, practolol, on the levels of free arachidonic acid (AA), thromboxane B2 (TxB2), prostaglandin (PG) E2, and 6-keto-PGF1 alpha in plasma, and TxB2 production by platelets during clotting in six normal subjects during submaximal dynamic exercise. The drugs were given intravenously in equipotent increasing doses before the exercise test. Exercise induced a clear increase in AA, TxB2, and 6-keto-PGF1 alpha in plasma. During the first 60 min of exercise all three beta-blockers decreased the plasma levels of AA and TxB2. Propranolol (0.19 mg/kg) was slightly more effective than atenolol (0.19 mg/kg) or practolol (0.64 mg/kg); however, at exhaustion, propranolol was markedly more effective than the other two blockers. Plasma 6-keto-PGF1 alpha and PGE2 levels were less affected by beta-blockade during exercise, and no significant effect was seen on TxB2 formation by platelets. The plasma 6-keto-PGF1 alpha/TxB2 ratio was markedly higher after propranolol treatment than after treatment with the other two blockers during the exercise period. These results suggest that the capability of a nonselective blocker to inhibit both beta 1- and beta 2-adrenergic receptors may be of advantage because of the more effective inhibition of thromboxane formation than with a cardioselective blocker, especially when the sympathetic tone is markedly increased.
