Risk Assessment of Hydrogen-Powered Aircraft: An Integrated HAZOP and Fuzzy Dynamic Bayesian Network Framework by Xiangjun Dang, Yongxuan Shao, Haoming Liu, Zhe Yang, Mingwen Zhong, Huimin Zhao, Wu Deng

“…Expert knowledge is processed using a similarity aggregation method to generate fuzzy probabilities, which are then integrated into the FDBN model to construct a risk factor relationship network. A case study on low-altitude aircraft hydrogen storage systems demonstrates the framework’s ability to (1) visualize time-dependent failure propagation mechanisms through bidirectional probabilistic reasoning, and (2) quantify likelihood distributions of system-level risks triggered by component failures. …”

Prevalence and correlates of vision impairment and its association with cognitive impairment among older adults in India: a cross-sectional study by Shobhit Srivastava, T Muhammad, Drishti Drishti

“…Those who had vision impairment were 11% more likely to have cognitive impairment compared to their counterparts (OR: 1.11, 95% CI: 1.01 to 1.23). low psychological health (OR: 1.55; 95% CI: 1.36 to 1.77), low activities of daily living (OR: 1.80; 95% CI: 1.43 to 2.27), low instrumental activities of daily living (OR: 1.26; 95% CI: 1.14 to 1.40), poor self-rated health (OR: 1.28; 95% CI: 1.15 to 1.41) and chronic morbidity (OR: 1.27; 95% CI: 1.14 to 1.41) were found to be risk factors for cognitive impairment among older adults.Conclusions Additional efforts in terms of advocacy, availability, affordability and accessibility especially in a country with big illiteracy issue are mandatory to increase the reach of eye-care services and reduce the prevalence of avoidable visual impairment and vision losses that lead to cognitive deficits among the older population.…”
