For decades, social science researchers have been studying programs, services, and settings that are explicitly designed to an influence on children (e.g., mental health services for children, school classrooms, after families, neighborhoods). Researchers who concerned with the contexts in which develop, issues and/or justice generally define evaluate a problem related these programs or settings, sometimes create assess intervention. Consequently, often ones determine definition. Common...
Abstract Tumor recurrence affects up to 70% of early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients, depending on treatment option. Deep learning algorithms allow in-depth exploration imaging data discover features that may be predictive recurrence. This study explored the use convolutional neural networks (CNN) predict HCC in patients with from pre-treatment magnetic resonance (MR) images. retrospective included 120 HCC. Pre-treatment MR images were fed into a machine pipeline (VGG16 and...
Posttreatment recurrence is an unpredictable complication after liver transplant for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) that associated with poor survival. Biomarkers are needed to estimate risk before organ allocation.
This case study examines an arts organization at the center of urban neighborhood revitalization effort and its contributions to creative placemaking inclusive community building. The documents innovative practices explores their meaning for a local context, understudied city in Mid-South region United States. It builds on research team's ongoing work as teachers, students, scholars partnership with organization. includes systematic participant observation, interviews stakeholders, review...
This interdisciplinary analysis examines the use of visual images in college classroom. The three authors—a community psychologist, a literacy specialist, and mathematician—share examples critical reflections that illuminate strengths challenges using this medium to meet teaching learning goals. authors highlight one dimension their work with images, promoting student capacities skills.
Abstract Geodesic covering problems form a widely researched topic in graph theory. One such problem is geodetic introduced by Harary et al. [Math. Comput. Modelling, 1993, 17, 89-95]. Here we introduce variation of the and call it strong edge problem. We illustrate how this evolved from social transport networks. It shown that NP-complete. derive lower upper bounds for number demonstrate these are sharp. produce exact solutions trees, block graphs, silicate networks glued binary trees...
Background: Despite the increasing number of people requiring palliative care at home, there is limited evidence on how home-based best practised. Aim: The aim this participatory qualitative study to determine characteristics that contribute brilliant care. Design: This was inspired by brilliance project – an initiative explore positive organisational scholarship in healthcare can be used health service management from viewpoint patients, families, and clinicians. methodology combined with...
Perspectives have emerged within health psychology that focus on the social constitution of and emphasize community development change strategies to reduce human suffering improve quality life. Education training are needed build student capacity in these areas. Our analysis, grounded theoretical, empirical, experiential evidences, suggests arts may play a leading role building this for research action. Major themes promote understandings values, goals, practices community-based work enable...
This qualitative study examined students' descriptions of their experiences in classroom groups an interdisciplinary arts and sciences program. Using a grounded theory approach, we found that students used descriptive names to navigate complex group demands. Their reductionist strategies interfered with learning, prevented flexibility, pointed small fatigue.
In order to model certain social network problems, the strong geodetic problem and its related invariant, number, are introduced.The is conceptually similar classical but seems intrinsically more difficult.The number compared with isometric path number.It determined for several families of graphs including Apollonian networks.Applying Sierpiński graphs, an algorithm developed that returns a minimum cover networks corresponding also proved NP-complete.
This paper presents an iris recognition system, based on a wavelet packet analysis using orthogonal wavelets. The identification of the different packets that carry discriminating information about texture is carried out through energy measure. Tests, conducted database 149 high quality images show good robustness in relation to changes illumination, blurring, optical axis deviation or local defects images.
For the retrieval of complementary information from medical images fusion multimodal is necessary. The fused image should not introduce any undesired feature and process possess all relevant information. In more precise diagnosis better treatment facilities are used. Higher accuracy reliability provided by image. Shift sensitivity, poor directionality lack phase real valued wavelet transform based method properties. Therefore Daubechies complex used for fusion, since it has less...
In this interdisciplinary analysis, the authors examine use of visual images in college classroom. They share examples and critical reflections that illuminate strengths challenges using medium to enhance social context for learning. The develop classroom community connect learning outcomes students' lives beyond is explored.
Place influences rural women's health when distance and lack of anonymity contribute to a reluctance seek care. A qualitative design was used explore relationships between place the grandmothers raising grandchildren. The study generated findings concerning theory related perceptual experience rurality, identifying "Cushioning," as basic social concept "Weathering," "Paradoxical Place," "Community Mothering" subconcepts. Physical mental wear tear, distance, isolation unraveling community...
The development of democratic citizenship and youth leadership requires an ability to collaborate with others in ways that are jointly empowering. In this study, we sought understand how students at urban liberal arts college the United States framed their own others’ efficacy responsibility narrative accounts situations they faced civic community engagement. We were interested young people learn work alongside local stakeholders, rather than serve on behalf communities considered be need....
Place emerges when space acquires definition in social constructions of meaning as landscape-languages, which reflect assumptions about physical and realities. The place work nursing, resonated throughout Nightingale's the profession's evolution, focuses on human health healing historical transitions landscape-languages populations. However, evidence-based practice dominated by empirical knowing inadequately addresses complex illness dynamics between Translating evidence to life course...
Background/Context Young people are often limited in the range of roles and dialogue routinely scripted for them, then enacted with schools other learning settings. Community-based arts classrooms may offer young access to a valuable alternative resource development, yet these programs have rarely been examined empirical research. Greater understanding is needed community-based activities experiences afforded adolescents situated economic, social, cultural contexts. Focus study This article...

Yet, obesity is often fueled by compulsive eating behaviors. Integrative therapies combine exercise training with techniques to enhance interoceptive awareness cognitive control over automatic, be especially efficacious.
