BACKGROUND: In low-middle income countries, healthcare providers primarily use paper health records for capturing data. Paper health records are utilized predominately due to the prohibitive cost of acquisition and maintenance of automated data capture devices and electronic medical records. Data recorded on paper health records is not easily accessible in a digital format to healthcare providers. The lack of real time accessible digital data limits healthcare providers, researchers, and quality improvement champions to leverage data to improve patient outcomes...

The increasing concentration of CO2 and CH4 in the environment is a global concern. Tri-reforming of methane (TRM) is a promising route for the conversion of these two greenhouse gases to more valuable synthesis gas with an H2 /CO ratio of 1.5-2. In this study, a series of Zr-MOF synthesized via the solvothermal method and impregnation technique was used to synthesize the nickel impregnated on MOF-derived ZrO2 catalyst. The catalyst was characterized by various methods, including N2 -porosimetry, X-ray diffraction (XRD), temperature programmed reduction (TPR), CO2 -temperature programmed desorption (CO2 -TPD), thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA), chemisorption, field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM)...

Querying time series based on their relations is a crucial part of multiple time series analysis. By retrieving and understanding time series relations, analysts can easily detect anomalies and validate hypotheses in complex time series datasets. However, current relation extraction approaches, including knowledge- and data-driven ones, tend to be laborious and do not support heterogeneous relations. By conducting a formative study with 11 experts, we concluded six time series relations, including correlation, causality, similarity, lag, arithmetic, and meta, and summarized three pain points in querying time series involving these relations...

CONTEXT: The osteopathic tenets may serve as a useful guideline for an interprofessional program. There is an alignment between the osteopathic tenets and the concept of interprofessional education (IPE). IPE occurs when students from two or more professions work with each other to collaborate or improve healthcare outcomes. Holistic treatment is fundamental in both instances, and the interrelatedness of structure and function requires acknowledgment of all healthcare professionals' roles in treating a patient...

A common analysis approach for resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) dynamic functional network connectivity (dFNC) data involves clustering windowed correlation time-series and assigning time windows to clusters (i.e., states) that can be quantified to summarize aspects of the dFNC dynamics. However, those methods can be dominated by a select few features and obscure key dynamics related to less dominant features. This study presents an iterative feature learning approach to identify a maximally significant and minimally complex subset of dFNC features within the default mode network (DMN) in schizophrenia (SZ)...

Streamflow time series data typically exhibit nonlinear and nonstationary characteristics that complicate precise estimation. Recently, multifactorial machine learning (ML) models have been developed to enhance the performance of streamflow predictions. However, the lack of interpretability within these ML models raises concerns about their inner workings and reliability. This paper introduces an innovative hybrid architecture, the TCN-LSTM-Multihead-Attention model, which combines two layers of temporal convolutional networks (TCN) followed by one layer of long short-term memory (LSTM) units, integrated with a Multihead-Attention mechanism for predicting streamflow with streamflow causation-driven prediction samples (RCDP), employing local and global interpretability studies through Shapley values and partial dependency analysis...

Coral bleaching is an important ecological threat worldwide, as the coral ecosystem supports a rich marine biodiversity to survive. Sea surface temperature was considered a major culprit; however, later it was observed that other water parameters like pH, tCO2 , fCO2 , salinity, dissolved oxygen, etc. also play a significant role in bleaching. In the present study, all these parameters of the Indian Ocean area for 15 years (2003-2017) were collected and analysed using machine learning language. The main aim is to see the cumulative impacts of various ocean parameters on coral bleaching...

BACKGROUND: Over the past decades dozens of randomized trials have shown that psychological treatments are more effective than care-as-usual (CAU). It could be expected that these treatments are implemented in routine care and that the response rates in usual care improve over time. The aim of the current meta-analysis is to examine if response and remission rates in usual care have improved over time. METHODS: We used an existing meta-analytic database of randomized controlled trials examining the effects of psychological treatments of depression and selected CAU control groups from these trials...

INTRODUCTION: Our laboratory has been exploring the MRI detection of fetal brain injury, which previously provided a prognostic biomarker for newborn hypertonia in an animal model of cerebral palsy (CP). The biomarker relies on distinct patterns of diffusion-weighted imaging-defined apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) in fetal brains during uterine ischemia (H-I). Despite the challenges posed by small brains and tissue acquisition, our objective was to differentiate between left and right brain ADC changes...
