A Critical Approach to A Concise Introduction to Mixed Methods Research with Rhetorical Analysis by Mahdi Shaghaghi

“…Then by using Spurr’s (1993) model of rhetoric analysis, I tried to extract sample sentences from important sections of the book that explicitly have rhetorical acts and categorize them. This rhetorical aspect would be the point of departure for a methodological discussion about the pre-assumptions of this structure for research.…”

Economic Evaluation of FebriDx®: A Novel Rapid, Point-of-Care Test for Differentiation of Viral versus Bacterial Acute Respiratory Infection in the United States by Katherine Dick, John Schneider

“…**Background:** Acute respiratory infections (ARIs) are commonly treated with antibiotics in outpatient settings, but many infections are caused by viruses and antibiotic treatment is therefore inappropriate. FebriDx®, a rapid point-of-care test that can differentiate viral from bacterial infections, can inform antibiotic treatment decisions. …”

Nonhuman primate antigenic cartography of SARS-CoV-2 by Annika Rössler, Antonia Netzl, Ninaad Lasrado, Jayeshbhai Chaudhari, Barbara Mühlemann, Samuel H. Wilks, Janine Kimpel, Derek J. Smith, Dan H. Barouch

“…Human single variant exposure sera have previously defined the antigenic relationships among SARS-CoV-2 variants but are now largely unavailable due to widespread population immunity. Therefore, antigenic characterization of future SARS-CoV-2 variants will require an animal model, analogous to using ferrets for influenza virus. …”

Noise-attention-based forgery face detection method by Bolin ZHANG, Chuntao ZHU, Qilin YIN, Jingqiao FU, Lingyi LIU, Jiarui LIU, Hongmei LIU, Wei LU

“…With the advancement of artificial intelligence and deep neural networks, the ease of image generation and editing has increased significantly.Consequently, the occurrence of malicious tampering and forgery using image generation tools is on the rise, posing a significant threat to multimedia security and social stability.Therefore, it is crucial to research detection methods for forged faces.Face tampering and forgery can occur through various means and tools, leaving different levels of forgery traces during the tampering process.These traces can be partly reflected in the image noise.From the perspective of image noise, the noise components reflecting tampering traces of forged faces were extracted through a noise removal module.Furthermore, noise attention was generated to guide the backbone network in the detection of forged faces.The training of the noise removal module was supervised using SRM filters.In order to strengthen the guidance of the noise removal module, the noise obtained by the noise removal module was added back to the real face image, forming a pair of supervised training samples in a self-supervised manner.The experimental results illustrate that the noise features obtained by the noise removal module have a good degree of discrimination.Experiments were also conducted on several public datasets, and the proposed method achieves an accuracy of 98.32% on the Celeb-DF dataset, 92.61% on the DFDC dataset, and more than 94% on the FaceForensics++ dataset, thus proving the effectiveness of the proposed method.…”
