    Abstract Machine Learning is entering a phase of maturity, but its medical applications still lag behind in terms of practical use. The field of oncological radiology (and neuro-oncology in particular) is at the forefront of these developments, now boosted by the success of Deep-Learning methods for the analysis of medical images. This paper reviews in detail some of the most recent advances in the use of Deep Learning in this field, from the broader topic of the development of Machine-Learning-based analytical pipelines to specific instantiations of the use of Deep Learning in neuro-oncology; the latter including its use in the groundbreaking field of ultra-low field magnetic resonance imaging.

    Abstract This paper aims to explore consumer beliefs about health hazards in infant foods by analyzing data gathered from the web, focusing on forums for parents in the UK. After selecting a subset of posts and classifying them by topic, according to the food product discussed and the health hazard discussed, two types of analyses were performed. Pearson correlation of term-occurrences highlighted what hazard-product pairs are most prevalent. Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression performed on sentiment measures generated from the texts provided significant results indicating positive or negative sentiment, objective or subjective language, and confident or unconfident modality associated with different food products and health hazards. The results allow comparison between perceptions obtained in different countries in Europe and may lead to recommendations concerning information and communication priorities.

    Abstract Scheduling tasks in production facilities are usually hybrid optimization problems of a large combinatorial nature. They involve solving, in near-real time, the integration of the operation of several batch units of continuous dynamics with the discrete manufacture of items in processing lines. Moreover, one has to deal with uncertainty (process delays, unexpected stops) and the management of shared resources (energy, water, etc.) including decisions made by plant operators: still, some tasks in the scheduling layers are done manually. Manufacturing Execution Systems (MESs) are intended to support plant personnel at this level. However, there is still much work to do in terms of performing automatic scheduling, computed in real time, that guides managers to achieve an optimal operation of such complex cyber-physical systems. This work proposes a closed-loop approach to handle the uncertainty arising when facing the online scheduling of supply lines and parallel batch units. These units often share some resources, so effects due to concurrent resource consumption on the system dynamics are explicitly considered in the presented formulation. The proposed decision support system is tested onsite in a tuna cannery, to handle short-term online scheduling of sterilization processes that deal with limited steam, carts, and operators as shared resources.

    Abstract Introduction: Teledermatology is the application of new technologies for the care of skin diseases. Its application in prisons allows the diagnosis and treatment of prisoners without the need to transfer them to the hospital, avoiding the problems associated with travel.
    Material and method: The objective of this work is to analyze the usefulness of teledermatology in prisons, through a retrospective observational study in the Castellón II-Albocàsser penitentiary.
    Results: The study sample consisted of 37 patients and 43 interconsultations. All the consultations corresponded to men, with a mean age of 42.43 years. 95.3% of the consultations were asynchronous and in 86% of them a diagnosis and a complete treatment plan were established. Only 18.6% of the consultations required a face-to-face consultation.
    Discussion: It is concluded that teledermatology in prisons is effective in the care and resolution of dermatological problems.

    Abstract ¿Cómo las mujeres se implican, interpretan y gestionan la emergencia política y cultural indígena de las últimas décadas del siglo xx y los primeros años del siglo xxi? ¿Cuáles son sus proyectos de sociedad? ¿Qué experiencias orientan estos proyectos? ¿Cómo ven su futuro, en tanto que mujeres, indígenas y ciudadanas en el contexto de la globalización?Esta publicación es el resultado de un seminario de investigación, «Modernidad indígena, indigeneidad e innovación social desde la perspectiva de género», en el que se pusieron encima de la mesa todas estas preguntas y muchas más, en un debate tan actual como necesario. El libro es un material ineludible para conocer el constatado doble rol de las mujeres indígenas: garantes de la tradición por un lado, y gestoras de los cambios sociales y políticos de sus comunidades y grupos por otro

    Abstract As formal causal inference begins to play a greater role in disciplines that intersect with pharmacometrics, such as biostatistics, epidemiology, and artificial intelligence/machine learning, pharmacometricians may increasingly benefit from a basic fluency in foundational causal inference concepts. This tutorial seeks to orient pharmacometricians to three such fundamental concepts: potential outcomes, g-formula, and directed acyclic graphs (DAGs).

    Abstract In recent years, thermoelectric (TE) devices have been used in several refrigeration applications and have gained attention for energy generation. To continue the development of devices with higher efficiency, it is necessary not only to characterize their materials but also to optimize device parameters (e.g., thermal contacts). One attempt to increase the efficiency at the device level consists of the replacement of the typical ceramic layers in TE modules by metallic plates, which have higher thermal conductivity. However, this alternative device design requires the use of a very thin electrical insulating layer between the metallic strips that connect the TE legs and the outer external layers, which introduces an additional thermal resistance. Impedance spectroscopy has been proved to be useful to achieve a detailed characterization of TE modules, being even capable to determine the internal thermal contact resistances of the device. For this reason, we use here the impedance method to analyze the device physics of these TE modules with outer metallic plates. We show for the first time that the impedance technique is able to quantify the thermal contact resistances between the metallic strips and the outer layers, which is very challenging for other techniques. Finally, we discuss from our analysis the prospects of using TE modules with external metallic plates.

    Abstract Motivation: Predicting the residues controlling a protein's interaction specificity is important not only to better understand its interactions but also to design mutations aimed at fine-tuning or swapping them as well.
    Results: In this work, we present a methodology that combines sequence information (in the form of multiple sequence alignments) with interactome information to detect that kind of residues in paralogous families of proteins. The interactome is used to define pairwise similarities of interaction contexts for the proteins in the alignment. The method looks for alignment positions with patterns of amino-acid changes reflecting the similarities/differences in the interaction neighborhoods of the corresponding proteins. We tested this new methodology in a large set of human paralogous families with structurally characterized interactions, and discuss in detail the results for the RasH family. We show that this approach is a better predictor of interfacial residues than both, sequence conservation and an equivalent 'unsupervised' method that does not use interactome information.
