co-located with IEEE/ACM 22nd International Conference on Model Driven Engineering Languages and Systems (MODELS 2019), 16 September 2019, Munich, GermanyThe 19th edition of the OCL workshop featured a lightning talk session where authors were invited to present their recent work and open questions related to textual modeling in general and OCL in particular. These 5 minute presentations triggered fruitful discussions within the OCL community on the usage of textual modeling, model validation, and specific technical points of the OCL specification. This community paper provides an overview of the presented contributions (one per section), as well as a summary of the questions and discussions they have triggered during the session
Clinical approach for the classification of congenital uterine malformations Grigoris F.

No full textA more objective, accurate and non-invasive estimation of uterine morphology is nowadays feasible based
on the use of modern imaging techniques. The validity of
the current classification systems in effective categorization
of the female genital malformations has been already challenged. A new clinical approach for the classification of
uterine anomalies is proposed. Deviation from normal uterine anatomy is the basic characteristic used in analogy to the
American Fertility Society classification. The embryological
origin of the anomalies is used as a secondary parameter.
Uterine anomalies are classified into the following classes:
0, normal uterus; I, dysmorphic uterus; II, septate uterus
(absorption defect); III, dysfused uterus (fusion defect); IV,
unilateral formed uterus (formation defect); V, aplastic or
dysplastic uterus (formation defect); VI, for still unclassified
cases. A subdivision of these main classes to further anatomical varieties with clinical significance is also presented.
The new proposal has been designed taking into account the
experience gained from the use of the currently available
classification systems and intending to be as simple as
possible, clear enough and accurate as well as open for
further development. This proposal could be used as a
starting point for a working group of experts in the fiel

Abstract
PURPOSE: To evaluate the role of topical mitomycin C in corneal wound healing (CWH) after photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) in highly myopic eyes.
DESIGN: Prospective, double-masked, randomized clinical trial.
PARTICIPANTS: Seventy-two eyes of 36 patients affected by high (>7 diopters) myopia.
METHODS: In each patient, one eye was randomly assigned to PRK with intraoperative topical 0.02% mitomycin C application, and the fellow eye was treated with a placebo. Postoperatively, mitomycin C-treated eyes received artificial tears (3 times daily, tapered in 3 months), whereas the fellow eye was treated with fluorometholone sodium 2% and artificial tears (3 times daily, tapered in 3 months).
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), contrast sensitivity, manifest refraction, and biomicroscopy. Contrast sensitivity was determined using the Pelli-Robson chart. Corneal confocal microscopy documented CWH.
RESULTS: Mean follow-up was 18 months (range, 12-36). No side effects or toxic effects were documented. At 12-month follow-up examination, UCVAs (logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution) were 0.4+/-0.48 and 0.5+/-0.53 (P = .03) in mitomycin C-treated eyes and corticosteroid-treated eyes, respectively. At 1 year, corneal haze developed in 20% of corticosteroid-treated eyes, versus 0% of mitomycin C-treated eyes. At 12, 24, and 36 months, corneal confocal microscopy showed activated keratocytes and extracellular matrix significantly more evident in untreated eyes (Ps = 0.004, 0.024, and 0.046, respectively).
CONCLUSION: Topical intraoperative application of 0.02% mitomycin C can reduce haze formation in highly myopic eyes undergoing PRK.

review covers a highly relevant clinical topic that has not
been summarised in such depth before and it provides upto-date information for clinicians (as acknowledged by
Funada et al). We strongly believe, for the aforementioned
reasons, that the methodological points raised by the
Funada et al have no impact on the validity of our
conclusions
A Relational Unsupervised Approach to Author Identification
No full textIn the last decades speaking and writing habits have changed.
Many works faced the author identification task by exploiting frequencybased
approaches, numeric techniques or writing style analysis. Following
the last approach we propose a technique for author identification
based on First-Order Logic. Specifically, we translate the complex data
represented by natural language text to complex (relational) patterns
that represent the writing style of an author. Then, we model an author
as the result of clustering the relational descriptions associated to the
sentences. The underlying idea is that such a model can express the typical
way in which an author composes the sentences in his writings. So,
if we can map such writing habits from the unknown-author model to
the known-author model, we can conclude that the author is the same.
Preliminary results are promising and the approach seems viable in real
contexts since it does not need a training phase and performs well also
with short texts
