    Abstract The main goal of this research is the interpretability of deep learning (DL) model output (e.g., CNN and LSTM) used to map land susceptibility to subsidence hazard by means of different techniques. For this purpose, an inventory map of land subsidence (LS) is prepared based on fieldwork and a record of LS presence points, and 16 features controlling LS were mapped. Thereafter, 11 effective features controlling LS were identified by means of a particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm, which was then used as input in the CNN and LSTM predictive models. To address the inherent black box nature of DL models, six interpretation methods (feature interaction, permutation importance plot (PFIM), bar plot, SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) main plot, heatmap plot, and waterfall plot) were used to interpret the predictive model outputs. Both models (CNN and LSTM) had AUC > 90 and therefore provided excellent accuracy for mapping LS hazard. According to the most accurate model-the CNN predictive model-the range from very low to very high hazard classes occupied 20%, 20%, 25%, 16.3%, and 18.7% of the study area, respectively. According to three plots (bar plot, SHAP main plot, and heatmap plot), which were constructed based on the SHAP value, distance from the well, GDR and DEM were identified as the three most important features with the highest impact on the DL model output. The results of the waterfall plot indicate two effective features consisting of distance from the well and coarse fragment, and two effective features comprising landuse and DEM, contributed negatively and positively to LS, respectively. Overall, these explanation techniques can address critical concerns with respect to the interpretability of sophisticated DL predictive models.

    Abstract Purpose: This paper aims to review clinical and preclinical evidence regarding new strategies for the prevention of vancomycin-induced nephrotoxicity.
    Methods: Evidence from 2014 to the end of 2019 was included. Twelve animal studies and one clinical trial were evaluated.
    Results: Although the incidence of vancomycin-induced nephrotoxicity was not reduced significantly in the clinical trial, antioxidants reduced the incidence of vancomycin-induced nephrotoxicity in preclinical studies.
    Conclusion: Antioxidants including vitamin C, vitamin E, cilastatin, melatonin, zingerone, rutin, naringenin, saffron, silymarin, and dexmedetomidine were nephroprotective against vancomycininduced nephrotoxicity in preclinical studies. The nephroprotective effects of these antioxidants must be confirmed before routine use in clinical practice.

    Abstract Streptococcus agalactiae has different virulence factors, from which the capsule has the most significant role in the pathogenesis of this organism. We aimed to investigate the distribution of more prevalent capsular genes among different Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) types of S. agalactiae isolated from pregnant women. A total of 106 isolates were collected from 420 vaginal and rectal swabs obtained from pregnant women. The specimens were transferred using Todd Hewitt Broth and were cultured on a blood agar containing antibiotics. The S. agalactiae isolates were identified by the standard microbiological and biochemical tests. The genomic DNAs of S. agalactiae isolates were extracted using an extraction kit. Then, the PCR method was used to detection of the capsular genes. Moreover, The RAPD PCR was used to genotyping of the isolates. The colonization rate of the pregnant women was 25.23%, and there was a statistically significant correlation between the weeks of gestation and the probability of colonization (p-value < 0.05). Also, 31 (29.24%) and 18 (16.98%) pregnant women had a history of abortion and membrane rupture, respectively. In addition, 20 (18.86%), 32 (30.18%), 4 (3.77%), and 6 (5.66%) isolates carried genes encoding capsular types Ia, Ib, III, and V, respectively. None isolates had the type II capsular gene, and other 44 isolates were non-typeable. Nine clones (clusters) of S. agalactiae were observed in the present study with 70% similarity, and 53 different types were identified among the isolates. Except for capsular types III and V that belonged to clones 3, 5, 7, and 9, other capsular types were detected in different RAPD types. We found that the capsular types Ib and Ia were predominant among pregnant women in this area, indicating their significance for vaccine designation. Also, our isolates showed a lower genotypic diversity in RAPD typing. This may be due to the same sources of most isolates.

    Abstract To evaluate the evidences related to the effectiveness of neurofeedback treatment for children and adolescent with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) based on the most-proximal raters. A systematic review of randomized control trials (RCTs) was carried out across multiple databases. the primary outcome measure was the most proximal ratings of ADHD symptoms in subjects. Conner's Parent Rating Scale (CPRS), Conner's Teacher Rating Scale (CTRS), and ADHD Rating Scale (ADHD-RS- are considered as primary outcomes. Seventeen trials met inclusion criteria (including 1211 patients). Analysis showed that there was no significant benefit of neurofeedback treatment compared with other treatments or control conditions [weighted mean difference/CI = HI-P: -0.02 (-0.26, 0.21), HI-T: 0.01 (-0.46, 0.48), weighted mean difference/CI = I-P: 0.00 (-0.23, 0.23), I-P: 0.12 (-0.14, 0.38)]. The results provide preliminary evidence that neurofeedback treatment is no efficacious clinical method for ADHD and suggest that more RTCs are needed to compare common treatment .

    Abstract Considering the importance of biosensors on the Internet of the patient body that collect vital signs and transmit them to the coordinator, energy consumption and network lifetime are essential challenges in these networks. This paper, it has been tried to present a method based on adapting sampling rate through patient's risk and discovered pattern by employing an intelligence method based on adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system, interpolation function, and a biosensor patron. It causes restricting sensed and transmitted data to the coordinator. In the proposed schema, three methods containing Grid partitioning, Subtractive Clustering and fuzzy c-means have been used in two modes, including hybrid and error backpropagation, to predict the individual's behavioral pattern and determine the patient's risk, attentively. The simulation results in MATLAB R2018b show that the proposed method reduces the network communications. It has improved energy consumption by up to three times and also reduced traffic by more than 80% compared to similar methods.

    Abstract Biological methods (adding bacteria to the concrete mixtures) among the most recently investigated procedures increase the durability of concrete and repair concrete cracks. In the present study, different biological methods were used to heal the cracks of concrete and the most suitable method was subsequently introduced as the main aim of the research. For this purpose, the culture medium, various sources of calcium salts as bacterial nutrients, and the effect of air-entrained agent on the healing process were studied. The results showed that the use of bacterial nutrient inside the concrete mixes has an affirmative impact on the mechanical properties and self-healing characteristics of concretes. Simultaneous use of Sporosarcina pasteurii bacteria and calcium nitrate-urea or calcium chloride-urea as a bacterial nutrient in the concrete mixture increased the 28 days compressive strength of concretes by 23.4% and 7.5%, respectively. The utilization of bacterial cells, nutrients, and culture in the concrete mixture provided the ability to heal wide cracks where the healing time was significantly reduced (about 8 days). On the other hand, separation of the bacterial culture medium slightly reduced the self-healing performance of the concretes.

    Abstract Background: Despite the fact that mental illness is among the ten top diseases with the highest burden, the health services required by these patients do not have adequate insurance coverage. The purpose of this study is to develop the attributes and levels of mental health insurance services using a discrete choice experiment (DCE).
    Materials and method: This study involved a qualitative phase of the DCE that was conducted in Iran in 2020-2021 and included several stages. First, during a literature review, the attributes and levels were determined. Then, the attributes of health insurance were identified and weighed through virtual and in-person interviews with 16 mental health insurance professionals and policymakers in this field who were selected by purposive sampling. Finally, after a few sessions, through review studies, interviews, and a group of the expert panel, attributes and levels were finalized.
    Results: This study showed that coverage of inpatient services, outpatient services, place of receiving services, use of online internet services, limitation of services, and monthly premiums were the most important attributes of mental health insurance services.
    Conclusion: To promote mental health insurance, policymakers and health insurance organizations should pay attention to premiums to be commensurate with the payment of people, packages of mental health services, and the ability of people to pay in appropriation with inflation. Identifying these attributes can determine people's willingness to pay and preferences for mental health insurance and lead to better planning for more comprehensive coverage for patients and increase the desirability of individuals in receiving services.
