End-to-End Stroke Imaging Analysis Using Effective Connectivity and Interpretable Artificial Intelligence by Wojciech Ciezobka, Joan Falco-Roget, Cemal Koba, Alessandro Crimi

“…To have a complete overview, the analysis with reservoir computing-based causality is compared to other two effective connectivity approaches: one linear (Granger causality) and one non-linear method (transfer entropy). Then, the pipeline subsequently incorporates a classification module to categorize the effective connectivity (directed graphs) of brain networks of patients versus matched healthy control. …”

A Meta-Synthesis of the Integrated Model of Customer Value co-Destruction and Value co-Creation by Zohreh Dehdashti Shahrokh, Vahid Nasehifar, Mohammad Reza Karimi Alavijeh, Yazdan Rahmatabadi

“…It should be noted that all the variables appear in both levels, but they show the greatest impact in the mentioned levels.ConclusionIt is very important to keep in mind that the categories of both value creation and destruction have a semantic contradiction, but it is necessary to pay attention to the fact that the creation of customer value co-destruction is unavoidable and the processes tend to increase entropy and disorder. This is also true regarding the co-destruction of customer value and the tendency of the system to create co-destruction is that by identifying the factors that cause co-destruction and curbing them using the appropriate strategy, it will be possible to create co-creation continuously and continuously. …”
