S³DR-Det: A Rotating Target Detection Model for High Aspect Ratio Shipwreck Targets in Side-Scan Sonar Images by Quanhong Ma, Shaohua Jin, Gang Bian, Yang Cui, Guoqing Liu, Yihan Wang

“…In this paper, to address the discrepancies in the above three aspects, we propose the Side-scan Sonar Dynamic Rotating Target Detector (S³DR-Det), which is a model with a dynamic rotational convolution (DRC) module designed to effectively gather rotating targets’ high-quality features during the model’s feature extraction phase, a feature decoupling module (FDM) designed to distinguish between the various features needed for regression and classification in the detection phase, and a dynamic label assignment strategy based on spatial matching prior information (S-A) specific to rotating targets in the training phase, which can more reasonably and accurately classify positive and negative samples. …”

Why are there discrepancies between depressed patients’ Global Rating of Change and scores on the Patient Health Questionnaire depression module? A qualitative study of primary car... by Alice Malpass, Glyn Lewis, Jude Robinson, Christopher Dowrick, Naila Khan, Louise Fusco

“…Of these, 29 completed our interviews; most were women, identified as white British, had high school education or higher, were employed or retired and had been depressed for a long time.Main measures We conducted semistructured interviews with a topic guide, focusing on experiences of depression; treatment experiences and expectations; effectiveness of the questionnaires; reasons for the mismatch; and social factors. Interviews were transcribed and subjected to interpretative phenomenological analysis.Results We identified four themes as explanations for mismatch between GRC and PHQ-9: perceptions that GRC provided a more accurate assessment of current mental state than PHQ-9; impact of recent negative or positive life events on either measure; personal understanding of depression as normally fluctuating, and tendency to underscore on PHQ-9 as a means of self-motivation; and lack of recall.Conclusions The combined used of the PHQ-9 and a more open question better captures the patient’s unique experiences of mental health. …”
