Abstract:

This paper presents multi-criteria methods for ranking project activities according to several ranking indexes. The methods are based on the Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP), on Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), and on the use of common ranking indexes. This paper reviews ranking indexes of project activities for project management tasks. The ranking of project activities in one project is applicable for focusing the attention of the project manager on important activities. The selection of the appropriate ranking indexes should be done in accordance with managerial purposes: 1) Paying attention to activities throughout the execution phase and in the resources allocation process, in order meet pre-determined qualities, and to deliver the project on time and within budget, i.e., to accomplish the project within the "iron triangle" 2) Setting priorities in order to share the managerial care and control among the activities. The paper proposes to use multi-criteria ranking methods in order to rank the activities in a case where several ranking indexes are selected.

Abstract:

In this work authors offers the list of the generalized requirements (or criteria) for indexes of assessment. Requirements can be applied during the development and the analysis of assessment indexes for programs and projects of evolution and performance of the Russian Federation regardless of exact subject domain. Based on authors experience in the field of various assessment techniques development, compliance to the listed requirements allows to improve interpretability of assessment indexes which, in turn, increases also their usefulness. Besides, in particular circumstances the concept of "quality of an index of assessment" can be expressed through the fact of compliance to the offered requirements (for example, direct calculation of requirements to which the index conforms) that can be the useful, for example, when choosing one "best" index of assessment from several alternatives. The offered list of requirements, certainly, isn't single valid one, and article pursues rather the purpose to open a topic for discussion, than to answer the question posed exhaustively.

Abstract:

There is a current lack of consensus regarding methods of assessment of vitiligo. Recently, the Vitiligo Area Scoring Index (VASI) and the Vitiligo European Task Force (VETF) were proposed to offer more accurate measures of disease severity indexes and treatment evaluation criteria. It would make sense to combine the VASI with the VETF system. We proposed an original scale for treatment evaluation criteria in vitiligo based on VASI. We plan to add the digital image analysis system, health-related quality of life questionnaire, affected skin location, and skin color in the original scale.

Abstract:

Based on Monte Carlo method, the concrete durability reliability indexes for typical concrete members in 50-year-period of service were calculated under normally moist environment conditions. By taking the typical concrete members under normally moist environment conditions as example, the fuzzy reliability indexes based on durability for crack control criteria provided in GB 50010-2010 were calculated. The calculation results show that the durability reliability indexes are mainly lower than crack control reliability indexes for normally moist environment conditions. To realize the goal that the durability design safety level can be generally closest to crack control safety level, one revision advice was presented for present concrete design code GB 50010-2010 to properly lower the crack control safety level in normally moist environment conditions: the present short period crack width enlargement coefficient should be multiplied with 0.85 so that the calculation guarantee rate will be lowered to 85% for flexural members.

Abstract:

AbstractGeneralized structured component analysis (GSCA) is a technically well-established approach to component-based structural equation modeling that allows for specifying and examining the relationships between observed variables and components thereof. GSCA provides overall fit indexes for model evaluation, including the goodness-of-fit index (GFI) and the standardized root mean square residual (SRMR). While these indexes have a solid standing in factor-based structural equation modeling, nothing is known about their performance in GSCA. Addressing this limitation, we present a simulation study’s results, which confirm that both GFI and SRMR indexes distinguish effectively between correct and misspecified models. Based on our findings, we propose rules-of-thumb cutoff criteria for each index in different sample sizes, which researchers could use to assess model fit in practice.

Abstract:

The paper developed a model of cluster analysis of expert criteria for assessing qualitative (non-numerical) characteristics with a certain level of reliability. To formalize individual criteria, Z-numbers are used, which are ordered pairs of ordinary fuzzy numbers. The first number is an estimate of the characteristic, and the second number is its reliability. For Z-numbers and their first components the aggregating indicators was defined based on a-cuts of fuzzy numbers. Aggregating indicators are used to determine the pairwise difference indexes of expert criteria and pairwise similarity indexes. Based on pairwise similarity indexes of expert criteria, a fuzzy binary relation of analogy is determined on the set of all criteria. A fuzzy similarity relation on a set of criteria is built using the transitive closure of a fuzzy relation of analogy. The constructed fuzzy similarity relation is decomposed into equivalence relations. Depending on the levels of values of the fuzzy similarity relation, all individual expert criteria are divided into clusters of similar criteria with a-levels of reliability.

Abstract:

The aim: To study peculiarities of morphological and immunohistochemical changes of stomach’s mucosa in eosinophilic gastritis in children Materials and methods: 64.1±6.0% patients with eosinophilic gastritis and 35.9±6.0% patients with lymphocytic gastritis participated in our investigation. In order to verify the diagnosis morphological and immunohistochemical diagnostics of the stomach’s mucosa was performed in all children. To assess morphological changes in tissues the specimens were colored with hematoxylin, eosin and picrofuchsin by van Gieson’s. Indirect streptavidin-peroxydase staining method was used for immunohistochemical investigation and the following indexes were assessed: proliferating cell nuclear antigen – PCNA, Bcl – 2, Вax, Collagen Type ІV, TGFβ and NF-κβ. Results: Comparative analysis of morphologic investigation has demonstrated that eosinophilic gastritis is characterized by fibrosis and fibroblasts proliferation into basal and superficial parts of mucosa’s lamina propria, multiple hemorrhages, thrombosis and erosions on the background of eosinophilic infiltration. Immunohistochemical indexes of cellular restoration in eosinophilic gastritis are characterized by increased proliferative activity and decreased indexes of proapoptotic and antiapoptotic activity. Prevalence of the reaction with the use of monoclonal antibodies to Collagen Type IV in majority of children with eosinophilic gastritis was characterized by separate fragmented foci in basal membranes of superficial epithelium. Remarkable TGFβ immune coloration was detected in majority of children on the background of fibrosis and eosinophilic infiltration of lamina propria. NF-κβ expression in epitheliocytes’ cytoplasm and nuclei was uneven. Homogenous remarkable coloration was detected in majority of patients with lymphocytic infiltration of mucosa. Conclusions: Eosinophilic gastritis course in children is characterized by remarkable inflammation, decreased regeneration of the mucosa, impairment of cellular restoration which is prognostic index of fibrous remodeling development.

Abstract:

As part of a large-scale field feeding system test we were able to collect and study hundreds of aliquots of overnight urine samples obtained immediately prior to a fasting blood sample on days 1, 20, and 44 of the field test. The large number of experimental samples (greater than 650) and concomitant collection of blood and urine aliquots along with data on body weights gave us the opportunity to assess and quantitate the sensitivity of commonly used criteria of hypohydration. Urine aliquots for all test days were initially categorized by specific gravity (SG) greater than or equal to 1.03 (n = 124) or less than 1.03 (n = 540). Creatinine levels were elevated (P less than 0.001) in the concentrated urine samples, but a decreased trend in sodium-to-potassium ratios in these samples failed to achieve statistical significance (P greater than 0.05). However, when individuals with high SG urine were subclassified by a criterion of weight loss greater than 3% from original body weight, then creatinine concentrations were elevated (P = 0.05), whereas sodium-to-potassium ratios were decreased (P = 0.05) when subjects also with high SG but weight loss less than 3% were compared. Because of the moderate altitude (2,000 m) of the field site and the time of sojourn (44 days), there occurred a slight, but significant (P less than 0.001), erythropoietic response. Hematocrit and serum osmolality were not significantly different when examined by the criteria of high or low SG urine and weight loss greater than or less than 3% original body weight.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract:

Abstract Over the past decade the venture capital industry has become more and more prominent, not just on a global level, but in Hungary, too. Thanks to the JEREMIE Program a large number of new venture capital firms are located in our country, and therefore an investment wave has started. The aim of the paper is to sort micro- and small sized enterprises in terms of how appropriate is a venture capital financing. The main topic of the paper relates to the selection of firms for venture capital investment; therefore, in the first part of the study we briefly summarize a general venture capital investment process, highlighting both the selection process and the criteria used for selection. Then we propose 3 indexes (trustworthiness index, openness index, investment index), which we have created to help venture capitalists to decide whether the targeted enterprises are appropriate for them, or not. In the main part of the paper we provide a classification of micro- and small sized Hungarian firms based on my own survey, and we analyze what kind of relationship exists between the proposed indexes and the type of the classified firms. The result of the classification is that we identify four main firm types and, based on statistical tests, it can be said that there is no significant relationship between the trustworthiness index and the clusters, but that there are between the two other indexes and the clusters.

Abstract:

This study aims to introduce and use new combined methods called analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and PROMETHEE II in order to prioritize the important criteria and indexes in educational assessment of Islamic education lessons for medical courses at university from the point of view of students. For this purpose, the comments of medical students of Tehran University of medical sciences were used. The number of samples was selected to be 191 by using Cochran formula and a researcher based questionnaire including 3 criteria of cognitive, Attitudinal and scientific skills with 14 overall indexes has been designed. Then, by using AHP method, the weights of criteria were determined and then the best index was selected for developing the aims of curriculum using PROMETHEE II and other indexes were prioritized. Based on the results, it has been determined that students believe that in assessing of Islamic education lessons for medical course at universities, the scientific, Attitudinal and cognitive skills must be prioritized as first to third ranks and also among the given indexes, convincing students to do research, rising their knowledge in different fields, improving Mental powers, Voluntary actions and being educated and trained accurately are prioritized as first to third ranks.

Paper management manuals, written by professional organizers, offer advice on which documents to discard as well as how to organize those that are retained. The guidelines on setting up headings for a filing system relate to the concepts of alphabetico-classed arrangement, specificity and slanted indexing. The manuals provide criteria for cross-references vs double posting that are similar to those of the indexing literature. As a genre, paper management manuals have poor indexes. Professional organizers should study the indexing literature, and indexers can contribute to the field of paper management.

Abstract:

This paper presents the development of a global and integrated sizing approach under different performance indexes applied to fuel cell/battery hybrid power systems. The strong coupling between the hardware sizing process and the system supervision (energy management strategy EMS) makes it hard for the design to consider all the possibilities, and today’s methodologies are mostly experience-based approaches that are impervious to technological disruption. With a smart design approach, new technologies are easier to consider, and this approach facilitates the use of new technologies for transport applications with a decision help tool. An automotive application with a hybrid fuel cell (PEMFC)/battery (Li-Ion) is considered to develop this approach. The proposed approach is based on imbricated optimization loops and considers multiple criteria such as the fuel consumption, reliability, and volume of the architecture, in keeping with industry expectations to allow a good trade-off between different performance indexes and explore their design options. This constitutes a low computational time and a very effective support tool that allows limited overconsumption and lifetime reduction for designed architecture in extreme and non-optimal use. We obtain, thanks to this work, a pre-design tool that helps to realize the first conception choice.

Abstract:

In multiple criteria decision making (MCDM), the even swaps method uses the relationships of criteria to make trade-offs but the burdens of experts are heavy; the linear programming technique for multidimensional analysis of preference (LINMAP) method cannot deal with the inter-dependencies among criteria but the cognitive burdens of experts are low. Taking the advantages of both these methods, this study proposes a criterion utility conversion (CUC) technique to solve probabilistic linguistic MCDM problems given that the probabilistic linguistic term set (PLTS) can reflect the psychology of experts when making evaluations. The utility conversion process is first proposed based on the marginal utilities of criteria. Then, the criterion preference ratios of experts are refined from the utility conversion process. Based on the criterion preference ratios and the operations of PLTSs, the adjusted probabilistic linguistic expected values of alternatives are calculated. The consistency and inconsistency indexes of alternatives and criteria are defined to set up the linear programming used to work out the criterion preference ratios. An illustration about the selection of emergency logistics supplier is given to validate the proposed method. The comparative analysis indicates the low cognitive burden, high stability, and strong applicability of the proposed method.

Abstract The ship operability can be understood and analysed in different manners, and its quality is described using different indexes by different authors. Practically, there is no general and widely accepted description of total ship operability in the literature, nor in the rules of classification societies, which would include both seakeeping and manoeuvrability characteristics of a ship, and simultaneously take into account all ship subsystems and, what is most important, comfort and safety of people on board. The aim of this paper is to propose a general definition of total ship operability and name, adjust, describe and justify criteria which should be considered in the ship operability analysis, as well as to provide a relevant algorithm paving the road for further investigation on total ship operability determination.

Abstract:

We prove that the standard motives of a semisimple algebraic group$G$with coefficients in a field of order$p$are determined by the upper motives of the group $G$. As a consequence of this result, we obtain a partial version of the motivic rigidity conjecture of special linear groups. The result is then used to construct the higher indexes which characterize the motivic equivalence of semisimple algebraic groups. The criteria of motivic equivalence derived from the expressions of these indexes produce a dictionary between motives, algebraic structures and the birational geometry of twisted flag varieties. This correspondence is then described for special linear groups and orthogonal groups (the criteria associated with other groups being obtained in De Clercq and Garibaldi [Tits$p$-indexes of semisimple algebraic groups, J. Lond. Math. Soc. (2)95(2017) 567–585]). The proofs rely on the Levi-type motivic decompositions of isotropic twisted flag varieties due to Chernousov, Gille and Merkurjev, and on the notion of pondered field extensions.

Abstract:

The purpose of this article is investigating the form of cities based on the new approach of urban smart growth and transect. Currently, the smart urban growth by using the transect method has been able to apply the environmental criteria and keep away from sprawl. The design is based on applying transect method in scale of neighborhoods within metropolis zone. In the zones of transect, different indexes of urban forms have defined clearly; furthermore are measurable and analyzable. The second purpose is determining degree of compatibility between urban characteristics within metropolis zone in one hand, and form-base codes of smart growth in the other hand. The case study of present research is selected due to having diversity of urban forms, different kinds of density, land-use and urban natural landscapes. For this diversity, 9th district in Mashhad metropolis was selected. The transect method has six separate zoning from T1 as the most natural and rural indexes, to T6 including most urban and dense indexes. The new method of Space Matrix for measuring the urban is used for transect zoning. By selecting a north- south crosscut in the considered district and exploiting the urban indexes, the Transect typology of each selected urban unit was determined by spacematrix method. Then, resulted indexes for each urban unit separately were assessed by multi-criteria decision-making matrixes(MCDM). Finaly by the hypothesis test part, with respect to compliance of more than 50% of 26 indexes of urban units of 9th district, it seems that direction of new urban regulation and models totally express avoiding sprawl and tending to ecologic approaches in the concepts of smart growth and urban form characteristics can analyzed.

Abstract:

In recent years, corporate governance and corporate social responsibility have come closer in academic research, and especially on sustainability indexes. In fact, the most significant indexes handle the matter of corporate governance along with other environmental and social criteria. The purpose of this study is to find out if all the variables included in the corporate governance dimension on the above mentioned indicators are equally relevant and material for both corporate social responsability and corporate governance. To carry out the study, a sample of academics and professionals from Spanish universities and businesses sector was taken. We defend the plausible hypothesis that not all items included within corporate governance dimension on sustainability indexes are homogeneous and interchangeable and, therefore, equally relevant. As a result, the measurements provided by these indexes may not be truly representative.

Abstract:

The aim: Is to determine the features of the HIV infection and changes in indicators of endogenous intoxication and immunoreactivity depending on the clinical stage and the level of CD4 lymphocytes. Materials and methods: 72 HIV-patients were examined. Comparison group included 40 healthy blood donors. Clinical and laboratory examination was performed. Indicators of endogenous intoxication, nonspecific reactivity and inflammatory activity were calculated. Results:Main opportunistic infections were: oropharyngeal candidiasis; tuberculosis of different localization, more often pulmonary tuberculosis; and brain toxoplasmosis (p<0,05). Indices of endogenous intoxication and immunoreactivity are important objective criteria for diagnosis. In groups where the distribution of patients depended on the level of CD4 cells – HIV (CD4≥500) and HIV (CD4≤499-200), index changes were more pronounced than in the HIV I and HIV III groups. The most significant changes in indexes were in the HIV IV clinical group and the HIV (CD4≤199) group: endogenous intoxication indexes were increased by 1,2-7,5 and 1,9-13,7 times in both groups respectively. Non-specific reactivity indexes were decreased by 1,2-1,6 and 1,3-1,6 times, respectively; nuclear index (NI) in groups was 3 and 3,4 times higher (p<0,05–0,001). Changes in indexes of inflammatory activity were observed (p<0,05-0,001). Conclusions: Main diagnosed opportunistic infections were: oropharyngeal candidiasis; tuberculosis of different localization; and brain toxoplasmosis (p<0,05). Indices of endogenous intoxication and immunoreactivity are important objective criteria for diagnosis. The most significant changes in indexes were in the HIV IV clinical group and the HIV (CD4≤199) group (p<0,05-0,001).

Abstract:

Technology transfer efficiency directly depends on the rate of intellectual property objects attractiveness. These objects involved in this process are selected by the technology user. Investment attractiveness of these objects is the only one that possess emergence property. It allows to compare different objects via same criteria. Theoretical groundings of investment attractiveness integral estimate are developed in this proceeding. The methodology is based on system analysis and decision-making theory. Namely it includes single-step decision-making task with vector efficiency index. Intellectual property objects estimation with indexes is taking into account. It is proven that experts’ individual preferences systems on the defined set of criteria determine experts’ “tastes”. They are considered as pattern masks for correspondent proper conclusion. Statistically agreed group preferences system demonstrates experts’ generalized opinion and should be used as a base for final conclusion about efficiency of intellectual property estimation indexes significance. Expression rate of these indexes has qualitative linguistic type. It is the same as for their ranks in the preferences systems. Thus they might be subjected to defuzzification procedure by significance coefficients application. This task is simply completed with priority arrangement method implementation. Multiplicative approach to the partial efficiency significance estimates aggregation is described. It provides integral estimate that characterizes single efficiency index and allows further indexes aggregation into single parameter. It determines attractiveness of intellectual property object and supports avoidance of mistakes of I and II type. Integral innovative intellectual property object attractiveness estimates are subjected to the normal distribution law. As an example the criteria of fuzzification implementation for multiple estimates are developed. This provides qualitative-quantitative research of considered objects.

Abstract:

Wind comfort in an built-up areas may be affected by a wide range of parameters, including wind speed, air temperature, relative humidity, solar radiation, air quality, human activity, age, etc. In practice, the assessment of the pedestrian comfort is carried out on the basis of the indexes defined to a considerably smaller number of parameters. Generally it is a criterion of wind velocity with the probability of exceeding the assumed discomfort threshold. This article discusses issues of spatial planning built-up areas including wind comfort criteria. The article pointed out the role of criteria adopted in estimation of discomfort areas. An important role is played here the value of the amplitude of the gust factor g. The attention was also drawn to the strong time variability of discomfort zones especially in areas close to buildings.

Aiming at the increasingly severe problem of University Campus Safety, this paper uses AHP based on the analysis and study of daily management of universities to establish five indexes as first criteria layer, which are school safety management, the management of counselor, the family factor, the factor of college student, social safety environment, and nineteen safety evaluation indexes as second criteria layer. So the Stratified hierarchical structure model can be built. As a result the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation model can be established. More over this paper applies MATLAB to solve the calculation of the model. Through the empirical analysis the evaluation result is consistent with the actual situation. Finally the result shows that the model have an important guiding significance to safety management work in colleges and universities, besides it is feasibility and operability.

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to reveal the limitations of h-index in assessing research performance through citation analysis and suggest two new indexes called prime index (P-index) and value added index (V-index), which are simpler to compute than g-index and more informative. For more serious research performance evaluation, analytic hierarchy process (AHP) methodology is proposed. Design/methodology/approach The methodology adopted is to compare existing indexes for citation-based research assessment and identify their limitations, particularly the h-index, which is most commonly employed. It gives advantages of g-index over h-index and then proposes P-index which is simpler to compute than g-index but is more powerful in information content than g-index. Another V-index is proposed on a similar philosophy as P-index by considering total number of citations/author. For serious evaluation of finite candidates for awards/recognitions, a seven-criteria-based AHP is proposed. All new approaches have been illustrated by drawing raw data from Google scholar-powered website H-POP. Findings This paper demonstrates over-hype about use of h-index over g-index. However, it shows that newly proposed P-index is much simpler in computation than g but better than g-index. V-index is a quick way to ascertain the value added by a research scientist in multiple-authored research papers. P-index gives a value 3–4 percent higher than g and it is holistic index as it uses complete data of citations. AHP is a very powerful multi-criteria approach and it also shows g-index to be a more important factor, whereas h-index is the least important but frequently used approach. It is hoped that the findings of this paper will help in rectifying the misplaced emphasis on h-index alone. Research limitations/implications The research focus has been to suggest new faster, better methods of research assessment. However, a detailed comparison of all existing approaches with the new approaches will call for testing these over a large number of data sets. Its limitation is that it has tested the approaches on 5 academics for illustrating AHP and 20 researchers for comparing new indexes with some of the existing indexes. All existing indexes are also not covered. Practical implications The outcomes of this research may have major practical applications for research assessment of academics/researchers and rectify the imbalance in assessment by reducing over-hype on h-index. For more serious evaluation of research performance of academics, the seven-criteria AHP approach will be more comprehensive and holistic in comparison with a single criterion citation metric. One hopes that the findings of this paper will receive much attention/debate. Social implications Research assessment based on proposed approaches is likely to lead to greater satisfaction among those evaluated and higher confidence in the evaluation criteria. Originality/value P- and V-indexes are original. Application of AHP for multi-criteria assessment of research through citation analysis is also a new idea.

Abstract:

This study evaluates the assignment system by FMCDM for Turkish Army Forces (TAF). TAF personnel are assigned to Garrisons (a headquarter or a certain geographical place in Turkey), for fixed periods. Selecting the optimal Garrison is an important problem for personnel, and is based on a number of alternatives and criteria. The system includes eight city centers, evaluated as alternatives. For defining the criteria, a questionnaire is designed and applied to army officers and sergeants. The criteria weights are determined by four randomly selected experts. Experts described the weights depending on their assessments, which may vary depending on their own necessities, experiences and priorities. They used linguistic weights, such as "very good, good, medium, low, very low". Hence, the assessments are away from certainty. This uncertainty implies fuzziness in weights. Besides, the criteria were determined by factor analysis, applied on the responses of the questionnaire, which also gives a sense of uncertainty. In the analysis under imprecision judgements, the criteria weights are presented as trapezoidal fuzzy numbers to get more reasonable and realistic solutions. Ideal and anti-ideal points are calculated for different optimism indexes and the final results are obtained based on these points. It is observed that different optimality indexes changed the rankings of alternatives.

Abstract:

The article develops methods for constructing economic (analytical) indexes in the framework of the holistic theory of market demand, built in recent years. By this, the economic indexes presented in the world literature within the framework of the theory of individual demand and, accordingly, related to households, acquire practical value.The introduction provides a brief overview of the main problems of modern indexology and the implementation of an economic approach dating back to the classical work of 1924 by the Soviet statistician A.A. Konüs. The properties of the most well-known «formula» indexes of Laspeyres, Paasche, and Fischer with respect to the fulﬁllment of the Fisher test criteria are described. These indexes play an important role in the methods proposed by the authors for constructing analytical indexes, which are determined through the function of consumer expenditures. The latter is determined by a utility function that rationalizes trade statistics. The rationalizing utility function is constructed ambiguously, and the corresponding task should be speciﬁed. Methods for its solution are proposed, developed within a non-parametric demand analysis of Afriat-Varian. The core of this analysis is the system of linear Afriat’s inequalities that determine the values of the utility function and marginal utility corresponding to statistical demand. This system can be inconsistent and unstable with respect to variations of non-exact demand statistics. In the case of compatibility, inequalities have many solutions, and the choice of different solutions of inequalities gives different values of analytical indexes. The authors suggest three types of tasks for the stable solution of Afriat’s inequalities, which deﬁne indexes with characteristics of optimism (low price indexes and high quantity indexes), pessimism (vice versa) and objectivity.Therefore, the problem of increasing the objectivity of consumer demand indexes receives a theoretically justiﬁed toolbox methods for calculating analytical market demand indexes that take into account, in contrast to formula indices, consumer preferences.

Abstract:

Currently, many a priori indexes are being used to assess maternal adherence to the Mediterranean diet (MD) during pregnancy but each with different components, cut-off points, and scoring systems. This narrative review aimed to identify all observational studies utilizing a priori indexes to assess maternal adherence to the MD during pregnancy. A systematic search was conducted in Pubmed until 1 July 2020. Among the 27 studies included, eight different a priori indexes were identified. Studies included a range of 5 to 13 dietary components in their indexes. Only three dietary components—vegetables, fruits, and fish—were common among all indexes. Dairy and alcohol were the only two components modified for pregnancy. All but one study either excluded alcohol from their index or reversed its scoring to contribute to decreased adherence to the MD. Approximately half of the studies established cut-off points based on the distribution of the study population; the others utilized fixed criteria. This review emphasizes the incongruent definitions of the MD impairing effective comparison among studies relating to maternal or offspring health outcomes. Future research should carefully consider the heterogeneous definitions of the MD in a priori indexes and the relevance of incorporating pregnancy-specific nutritional requirements.

Abstract:

Tunnel boring machine (TBM) tunneling data have been extensively collected to utilize TBM information technology by analyzing and mining the data for achieving a safe and efficient TBM tunneling. Feature extraction of big data could reduce the complexity for problems, but conventional indexes based on feature extraction, such as field penetration index (FPI), specific penetration (SP), and boreability index (BI), have some disadvantages. Thus, we present novel boring indexes derived from tunneling data in the Yinchao TBM project. Linear thrust-penetration and torque-penetration relationships in filtered ascending sections ( p ≥ 2 mm/r) are proposed using statistical features and through physical mechanism analysis of parameters in the TBM cyclic tunneling process. Boring indexes, such as normal boring difficulty index, initial rock mass fragmentation difficulty index, and tangential boring difficulty index, are defined using the coefficients of the linear thrust-penetration and torque-penetration relationships. Subsequently, the defined boring indexes are verified using performance prediction of 291 cyclic tunneling processes. Finally, a preliminary application of support measure suggestions is conducted using the statistical features of boring indexes, where certain criteria are proposed and verified. The results showed that the criterion of boring indexes for support measure suggestions could achieve a reasonable confirmation, potentially providing quantitative quotas for support measure suggestions in the subsequent construction process.

Abstract:

Background & Aims: To validate a predictive model of pre-eclampsia for classifying pregnant women into pre-eclamptic and healthy groups. Materials and Methods: A cohort study was carried out in a total of 132 pregnant women, including biochemical and clinical parameters for assessing the classification performed by a predictive model of pre-eclampsia from a 10-fold cross-validation method and the experts’ criteria. Results: A highly predictive value was obtained from the set of biochemical parameters included in the proposed model. Wilks’ Lambda, eigenvalues, canonical correlation, and distances between centroids of the groups point to the high classificatory power of the discriminant function. Risk indexes, computed from the centroids, provided a measure of different risk levels for this condition. The analysis of these indexes in a prospective study allowed assessing the effect of the parameters. The new ten models obtained from a 10-fold cross-validation achieved a 100% of correct classification (AUC:1.00; CI:0.00-1.00; p=0.00). The sensitivity and specificity of the model, obtained from ROC curves, showed the consistency of the model, even though there were only four clinical manifestations of the entity. Moreover, the risk indexes were assessed from the experts’ criteria in the cohort study, showing an AUC of 100% in the 3rd trimester of pregnancy. Conclusions: The model and proposed pre-eclampsia risk indexes could constitute an accurate diagnostic tool, employing markers of oxidative stress as a significant element in the prediction of this entity.

Abstract:

AbstractAim: The aim of this study was to develop quantiative criteria for defining visceral obesity and to establish dual-energy X-ray absorptiometric (DXA) diagnostic cut-off points (CP) for normal and abnormal values of the central obesity indexes (COI) that best differentiate extreme visceral obesity in Cushing’s syndrome (CS) from non CS obese and non obese women.Material and Methods: COI1–4 values calculated as a ratio of android to gynoid tissue mass, fat mass and their % were determined in 4 groups, each consisting of 18 women: 1st group of CS, 2nd group of obese women (O1) not different according to their age and BMI from CS, 3rd group of obese women (O2) with BMI of 35 ± 1.2 kg and 4th group of non obese healthy women (C) with normal BMI. Diagnostic accuracy (DG) of CP values of COI1m-4m indexes of abdominal obesity and CP values of COI1n-4n indexes of normal body fat distribution (BFD) was determined.Results: COI1-4 indexes values were highly significantly different among the 4 examined groups and were significantly highest in CS patients and lowest in group C (p < 0.0001). COI1m-4m CP values differentiated extreme visceral, abdominal obesity in CS with highest DG as well as COI1n-4n CP values differentiated normal BFD in group C. COI1m CP of 0.55 best differentiated CS from O1 for DG of 100%. COI2n of 0.38 best differentiated C from CS and O2 for highest DG of 100% compared to O1 because of the significantly higher BMI and COI1n-4n values in O2 that were associated with more pronounced abdominal obesity and highly significantly positive correlation with BMI.Conclusions: DXA cut-off point values of indexes COI1m-4m and COI1n-4n were established as diagnostic indexes and criteria useful in discovering extreme abdominal and normal BFD. COI1m CP value of 0.55 was discovered as a diagnostic criterion of extreme abdominal obesity and COI2n of 0.38 as a diagnostic criterion of normal BFD that excluded abdominal obesity. The other indexes COI1m-4m and COI1n-4n CP values had also high DG in discovering abdominal and normal body fat distribution.
