Use of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence to Drive Personalized Medicine Approaches for Spine Care
No full textPersonalized medicine is a new paradigm of healthcare in which interventions are based on individual patient characteristics rather than on “one-size-fits-all” guidelines. As epidemiological datasets continue to burgeon in size and complexity, powerful methods such as statistical machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) become necessary to interpret and develop prognostic models from underlying data. Through such analysis, machine learning can be used to facilitate personalized medicine via its precise predictions. Additionally, other AI tools, such as natural language processing and computer vision, can play an instrumental part in personalizing the care provided to patients with spine disease. In the present report, we discuss the current strides made in incorporating AI into research on spine disease, especially traumatic spinal cord injury and degenerative spine disease. We describe studies using AI to build accurate prognostic models, extract important information from medical reports via natural language processing, and evaluate functional status in a granular manner using computer vision. Through a case illustration, we have demonstrated how these breakthroughs can facilitate an increased role for more personalized medicine and, thus, change the landscape of spine care
Dante poeta-profeta, pellegrino, autore : strutturazione espessiva della Commedia e visione escatologica dantesca
No full textLo studio del profetismo dantesco e del rapporto tra esso e la "lupa" (cioè la cupidigia-volontà di potenza, è condotto attraverso l'analisi dei momenti più intensamente profetici del poema: dagli aspetti escatologici, politici e sociali dell'antefatto, attraverso le intense reminiscenze da Ezechiele e da Apocalisse ricontestualizzate in Purg. XIX e XX, alle grandiose visioni escatologico-politiche di Purg. XXXII e XXXIII, alla sommessa e dolente speranza espressa negli ultimi canti di Beatrice.Il grido profetico di Dante è inseparabile dalle diverse immagini del poeta all'interno della Commedia: il poeta-pellegrino (l'agens); il poeta-scriba, addetto a riprodurre le esperienze vissute dal pellegrino; l'autore, cioè il poeta-profeta, il quale dice "io" anch'egli e intervienedal presente della scrittura per ammaestrare il lettore ed esecrare i vizi della cristianità sviata. Si esamina quindi la posizione di Dante tra i poeti-auctores antichi e l'auctoritas che spetta ai libri sacri di AT e di NT.The study of Dantean prophetism and of its relationship with the “she-wolf” (that is greed-lust for power), is carried out through the analysis of the most intensely prophetic moments of the poem: from the eschatological, political and social aspects of the background, through the intense reminiscences from Ezekiel and Apocalypse re-contextualized in Purgatory XIX and XX, to the great eschatological-political visions of Purgatory XXXII and XXXIII, to the quiet and sorrowful hope expressed in Beatrice's last cantos. Dante's prophetic cry is inseparable from the different images of the poet inside the Comedy : the pilgrim poet (the agens); the scribe poet, assigned to reproduce the experiences lived by the pilgrim; the author, that is the prophet poet, who also says “I” and intervenes from the present of the writing to teach the reader and execrate the vices of led astray Christianity. Then Dante's position is examined between the ancient auctores- poets and the auctoritas due to the holy books of the Old and New Testament
Sant'Ambrogio nella letteratura religiosa slava orientale del Sei e Settecento : per uno studio preliminare delle citazioni ambrosiane nell'omiletica rutena barocca
No full textThe aim of this study is to investigate the reception of Ambrose in the writings of three Ukrainian baroque preachers, viz. Ioannikij Galjatovs’kyj, Antonij Radyvylovs’kyj and Dimitrij Rostovskij. The method that has been adopted in the presentation of the results of our survey can be outlined as follows. First, we focused on the thematic aspects of the process of reception, which generally fall into two categories: 1. Exegetical themes, based on motives drawn from the Scriptures; 2. Philosophical-doctrinal themes. Furthermore, for all the writers which we examined we tried to determine whether an author made a direct or indirect usage of Ambrose’s oeuvre. Indirect use is generally to be ascribed to the influence of either exegetic Comments on the Bible, such as those of Cornelius A Lapide and Didacus de Baeza, or of emblematic literature produced in the West, such as Hemannus Hugo’s Pia desideria (1624).
A second question to be addressed is how the intellectual and ecclesiastical context of the Ukrainian lands, whose distinctive features were pluriconfessionalism and the close ties to Western Renaissance and Baroque, influenced our authors in the way they made use of Ambrose, especially as far as the relationship between Orthodoxy and Catholicism is concerned
Fammi del tuo valor sì fatto vaso, come dimandi a dar l'amato alloro
No full textIl contributo esamina lo sviluppo della possibilità di esistenza di poeti e autori volgari (accanto e in competizione con i classici soprattutto latini)nelle opere di Dante antecedenti la Commedia. Quindi argomenta le ragioni per cui Dante, nella Commedia, si proclama poeta ma non si definisce mai autore (tale in particolare è Virgilio).The contribution considers the development of the possibility of existence of vulgar poets and authors (beside and in competition with the classics, mostly Latin) in Dante's works prior to the Comedy.
Then it argues the reasons why Dante, in the Comedy, declares himself a poet but he never calls himself an author (such is particularly Virgil)

No full textEen duurzaam thuis: Over waarden in wonen
No full textNederlandse volkshuisvesting draagt van oudsher bij aan een ’waardevolle‘ samenleving. Volkshuisvesting had oorspronkelijk als doel te voorzien in een gezonde woonsituatie voor iedereen en bij te dragen aan een maatschappij waarin kwetsbare groepen middenin de samenleving leven. Dit streven kon lange tijd op breed politiek draagvlak rekenen. Met de introductie van marktwerking in de woonsector kwamen woningcorporaties en hun bijzondere positie tussen markt en overheid onder een vergrootglas te liggen. Het op economische efficiëntie gerichte denken kon niet uit de voetenmet deze vreemde organisaties die niet gericht zijn op winst maar op waarden. In plaats van de waarden expliciet te maken, werd geprobeerd onderscheid te maken tussen de op winst gerichte activiteiten van woningcorporaties en de activiteiten die het algemeen belang dienden. Dit artikel gaat in op de waarden in wonen die nu te vaak impliciet blijven, zoals rechtvaardigheid en duurzaamheid, en voorheen werden aangeduid met het begrip volkshuisvesting.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository 'You share, we take care!' - Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Housing Institutions & Governanc
A Review of "Housing wealth and welfare", By Caroline Dewilde and Richard Ronald
No full textBook review: Housing wealth and welfare, By Caroline Dewilde and Richard Ronald, Cheltenham, Edward Elgar Publishing, 2017, ISBN 978 78536 095 4.This is a very interesting edited volume comprising an introduction chapter reflecting on so-called housing asset-based welfare and nine chapters written by a nice selection of authors. It is a more than worthwhile joint effort of two excellent ERC laurates who have both been working on the topic for years which is demonstrated in the very comprehensive overview of the state of the art in housing wealth and welfare. They explain different models across time and across Europe: some models are more familialised, relying on family capital, while others are more financialised, relying on mortgages. The introduction is followed by a multi-angle, multi-country collection of well-written chapters. And last but not least, there is an epilogue by John Doling, ‘the father’ of housing asset-based welfare.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository 'You share, we take care!' - Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.OLD Housing System

French postmodern autibiography: the «African» BY J.-M.G. Le Clézio
No full textThe article explores the genre peculiarity of the French literary autobiography of ХХ – ХХI centuries based on the «African» by J.-M.G. Le Clézio. The main accent is made on the way conventional traits of a traditional genre of the autobiography – the autobiographical pact, a narration about private life of the author of the autobiography, the chronological sequence, a primary continuity of a narration – are transformed in the composition of the novel. The conclusion is, that “African” by Le Clézio is an original summary of the novelist’s long-term reflections about life, family relations, educational problems, western civilization, treating the former colonial people with hostility. Notably, the rupture between the author’s plan and the genre guideline to disclose the author’s “self” are determined by the essay technics.Рассматривается специфика жанра французской писательской автобиографии рубежа ХХ – ХХI веков на примере произведения Ж.-М.Г. Леклезио «Африканец». Основной акцент делается на том, каким образом конвенциональные черты традиционного жанра автобиографии – автобиографический пакт, повествование о частной жизни создателя автобиографии, хронологическая последовательность, преимущественная непрерывность повествования – трансформируются в произведении романиста. Делается вывод о том, что «Африканец» Леклезио является своеобразным подведением итогов много-летних размышлений писателя о жизни, семейных взаимоотношениях, проблемах воспитания, о враждебно настроенной западной цивилизации к бывшим колониальным народам. Отмечается, что разрыв между авторским замыслом и жанровой установкой на раскрытие авторского «я» создателя определяются техникой написания эссе
