Hierarchical Recognition for Urban Villages Fusing Multiview Feature Information by Zhenkang Wang, Nan Xia, Song Hua, Jiale Liang, Xiankai Ji, Ziyu Wang, Jiechen Wang

“…Compared with results from single-view of RSI, the complementarity with SVI for multiview features increased the OA and Kappa by 3.34% and 0.079, which could effectively distinguish the old industrial parks. We believe that our proposed hierarchical framework is essential to the scientific and accurate UV recognition, which can guide the urban management and high-quality development.…”

Quality of Life Philosophy III. Towards a New Biology: Understanding the Biological Connection between Quality of Life, Disease, and Healing by Soren Ventegodt, Niels Jørgen Andersen, Joav Merrick

“…The source of the qualities (the qualia) characterizing the human being as a whole — like joy, love, motivation, consciousness, free will, wisdom, intuitive competence — is still practically unknown and scientifically unexplained, more than 50 years after science has turned itself towards these fundamental problems. We believe that we need a radically new biology and medicine to give the scientific explanations of the structure, dynamics, and quality of life, and of its consciousness.…”

Enhancing patient engagement: the influence of an in-consult patient decision aid on shared decision-making for lung tumour radiation – protocol for the randomised trial ‘SDM Lung... by Karina Dahl Steffensen, Signe Timm, Torben Frøstrup Hansen, Thomas Leth Fink, Charlotte Kristiansen, Torben Schjødt Hansen, Rune Slot Thing

“…The radiation oncologist often makes the choice of dose without any engagement of the patient. We believe that the patients should be engaged in such a decision.To explore this matter, we have designed a randomised trial, ‘SDM Lung SBRT’, for which we present our study protocol with a special focus on a patient decision aid (PtDA), which is being tested in this trial.Methods and analysis This study includes patients with a lung tumour located ≤1 cm from the thoracic wall. …”
