Development of mathematical methods for diagnosing kidney diseases using fuzzy set tools
Get PDFAn approach based on fuzzy set theory is presented in the scientific article to enhance the efficiency of diagnosing kidney diseases by decreasing the time required for making medical decisions. The suggested approach employs fuzzy models and algorithms that consider the uncertainty and variability of clinical data to optimize the assessment of the functional state of the kidneys, taking into account various risk factors and individual characteristics of patients. The paper suggests a technique to develop a system of fuzzy decision rules. This technique combines E. Shortliff’s iterative rules with functions from the studied classes of kidney diseases. Mathematical modeling and experimental studies have indicated relatively high effectiveness in classifying different forms of kidney diseases. The results can be used to formulate intelligent decision support systems in clinical practice and improve diagnostic and monitoring processes. Moreover, the findings may aid in shaping more targeted and effective health policies at the national and regional levels, enhancing access to healthcare, and promoting the population’s overall health

Both conditions exhibit jaundice, pruritus, fatigue, and hepatomegaly. However, distinguishing features based on clinical and laboratory observations can aid in accurate differentiation between the two states. These distinguishing features can be incorporated by developing a mathematical model for diagnosing diseases, enabling precise identification and guiding appropriate treatment strategies.

DEVELOPMENT OF THE STRUCTURE OF AN AUTOMATED SYSTEM FOR DIAGNOSING DISEASES
Get PDFToday, the importance of information support for various medical technologies has increased significantly. The use of modern information technologies is becoming a critical factor in the development of most branches of knowledge and areas of practice, so the development and implementation of information systems is an urgent task. The clinical decision support system provides clinicians and stakeholders with individualized patient assessments and recommendations to assist in the clinical decision-making process.
Knowledge-based information systems are widely used in medicine around the world. Modern technical capabilities make it possible to reach a qualitatively new level of presentation of the course of the disease, namely, based on appropriate mathematical models, to model the typical development of the pathological process in a particular disease, to speed up the process of diagnosing and receiving recommendations on treatment protocols.
In Kazakhstan, there is no variety of decision support systems in medicine, especially in the process of diagnosing diseases. The purpose of this study is to develop the structure of an automated system for diagnosing diseases. The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is used as a design tool. The structure of the automated system is presented; the main components and key terms are considered. A mathematical model of diagnostics is shown (in the example of diseases of intestinal and pancreatic insufficiency) based on decision-making methods with fuzzy initial data. A diagram of the data flows of the system is presented. Thus, the paper proposes the structure of an automated system that will contribute to high-quality diagnostics due to an effective method of system organization and the use of fuzzy set theory methods
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
