Glycemic Profile and Clinical Treatment in Patients with Diabetes Mellitus-Tuberculosis: An Update Scoping Review by Rissaadah S, Nursiswati N, Pahria T

“…Severe hyperglycemia in patients with DM-TB is associated with an increased risk of TB treatment failure, a long recovery time, and the likelihood of developing multi-drug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). In addition, patients with DM-TB who did not start TB treatment were more likely to have poorer glycemic control than patients with DM-TB who underwent active TB treatment.Conclusion: Patients with DM-TB, such as MDR-TB, are at a higher risk of poor glycemic control, treatment failure, and clinical severity. …”

Management of Uncertainty by Statistical Process Control and a Genetic Tuned Fuzzy System by Stephan Birle, Mohamed Ahmed Hussein, Thomas Becker

“…In order to keep the process on its optimal growth trajectory (model based reference trajectory) a fuzzy logic controller is used that alternates the process temperature. Additionally, in order to stay within the process corridors, a genetic algorithm was applied to tune the input and output fuzzy sets of a preliminarily parameterized fuzzy controller. …”

Testing the Applicability and Transferability of Data-Driven Geospatial Models for Predicting Soil Erosion in Vineyards by Tünde Takáts, László Pásztor, Mátyás Árvai, Gáspár Albert, János Mészáros

“…RS data were represented by multi-temporal Sentinel-2 satellite imagery data, which were supplemented by (i) topographic covariates derived from a UAV-based digital surface model and (ii) digital primary soil property maps. In addition to spatially quantifying soil erosion, the feasibility of transferring the inferred models between nearby vineyards was tested with ambiguous outcomes. …”

Using informative priors to account for identifiability issues in occupancy models with identification errors by Monchy, Célian, Etienne, Marie-Pierre, Gimenez, Olivier

“…We propose an extended occupancy model that accounts for the identification process in addition to detection. Similar to other recent attempts to account for false positives, our model may suffer from identifiability issues, which usually require another source of data with perfect identification to resolve them. …”

Kiwifruit and Kiwifruit Extracts for Treatment of Constipation: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis by Mohamed Eltorki, Russell Leong, Elyanne M. Ratcliffe

“…Compared with placebo (n = 95), kiwifruit extracts might increase the weekly frequency of SBM (MD: 1.36; 95% CI: −0.44, 3.16) with low certainty of evidence; moreover, it had an uncertain effect on BSS (SMD: 1.54; 95% CI: −1.33, 4.41) with very low certainty of evidence. Additionally, compared with placebo (n = 119), kiwifruit or its extracts reduced abdominal pain (SMD: −1.44, 95% CI −2.83, −1.66) with moderate certainty of the evidence and improved frequency of straining (SMD: −0.29; 95% CI: −1.03, 0.47). …”

HSP60 inhibits DF-1 apoptosis through its mitochondrial signal peptide by Shengliang Cao, Yanlan Li, Lele Chen, Xiaojing Lei, Xiujuan Feng, Yubao Li

“…The structure of the HSP60 mitochondrial signal peptide (MIT) protein was predicted using Pymol software, which revealed that His amino acid at the 21st position affects its spatial structure. In addition, the transfection of HSP60 mutant protein (TB) into DF-1-HSP60-KO cells and induction with Bardoxolone MethyI significantly increased the apoptosis rates and reduced cell viability compared to the wild-type HSP60 group, inducing differential changes in genes such as Bax, Bak, and Bcl-2. …”

Towards Reliable Participation in UAV-Enabled Federated Edge Learning on Non-IID Data by Youssra Cheriguene, Wael Jaafar, Halim Yanikomeroglu, Chaker Abdelaziz Kerrache

“…When participants are unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), UAV-enabled FL would experience heterogeneity due to the majorly skewed (non-independent and identically distributed -IID) collected data. In addition, UAVs may demonstrate unintentional misbehavior in which the latter may fail to send updates to the FL server due, for instance, to UAVs' disconnectivity from the FL system caused by high mobility, unavailability, or battery depletion. …”
