Developing a priority global research agenda for antimicrobial resistance in the human health sector: protocol for a scoping review by Alessandro Cassini, Raph L Hamers, Koe Stella Asadinia, Silvia Bertagnolio

“…Introduction To accelerate the response to the public health threat by antimicrobial resistance (AMR), the WHO is developing a Global Research Agenda for AMR in the human health sector that aims to provide a global and transparent assessment of priority knowledge gaps related to critical bacteria—including Mycobacterium tuberculosis—and fungi that inform control and response strategies to tackle AMR by 2030. A literature scoping review represents the first phase in a stepwise process, and we hereby outline the protocol to review current knowledge gaps and research questions on AMR in the human health sector.Methods and analysis This literature scoping review will follow the Arksey and O’Malley (2005) methodology and will include: (1) a hand search to identify relevant WHO guidelines and documents suggested by the WHO Steering Group for the AMR Global Research Agenda; (2) a grey literature search through a stakeholder mapping process and google searches of organisational websites; (3) a systematic search of relevant systematic reviews through bibliographic databases (PubMed, Embase and Web of Science); (4) screening of the reference lists of included studies. …”

A deep learning approach for predicting the antenna pointing error caused by transmission faults with simulation data by Lihui Chen, Song Xue, Peiyuan Lian, Qian Xu, Meng Wang, Congsi Wang

“…By linking the two, transmission faults in key components can serve as a substitute for pointing accuracy as one of the criteria for antenna maintenance decisions, vibration signals, serving as a basis for fault diagnosis, can be collected and processed in real-time without the need for equipment shutdowns, undoubtedly bringing convenience to antenna maintenance providing a theoretical basis for the development of antenna maintenance strategies. In order to overcome the problem of insufficient data, this paper has established an antenna elevation system dynamic simulation model containing pre-defined transmission faults. …”
