A comprehensive, predictive mortality score for patients with bloodstream infections (PROBAC): a prospective, multicentre cohort study.

Objectives: Bloodstream infections (BSI) are an important cause of mortality, although they show heterogeneity depending on patients and aetiological factors. Comprehensive and specific mortality scores for BSI are scarce. The objective of this study was to develop a mortality predictive score in BSI based on a multicentre prospective cohort.

Differences in Microplastic Content in Commercial Salt and Salt at the Semiringkai Coastal Local Center in Kupang City and Kupang Regency.

Background: Plastic waste that ends up in the ocean can undergo a degradation process into small plastic particles measuring 5 mm called microplastics. The presence of microplastics in the sea can contaminate marine products such as sea salt. Microplastics in the salt consumed by humans can cause adverse health effects.

Design of a Desktop Virtual Reality-Based Collaborative Activities Simulator (ViRCAS) to Support Teamwork in Workplace Settings for Autistic Adults.

Autistic adults possess many skills sought by employers, but may be at a disadvantage in the workplace if social-communication differences negatively impact teamwork. We present a novel collaborative virtual reality (VR)-based activities simulator, called ViRCAS, that allows autistic and neurotypical adults to work together in a shared virtual space, offering the chance to practice teamwork and assess progress. ViRCAS has three main contributions: 1) a new collaborative teamwork skills practice platform; 2) a stakeholder-driven collaborative task set with embedded collaboration strategies; and 3) a framework for multimodal data analysis to assess skills.

Semi-Supervised Behavior Labeling Using Multimodal Data during Virtual Teamwork-Based Collaborative Activities.

Adaptive human-computer systems require the recognition of human behavior states to provide real-time feedback to scaffold skill learning. These systems are being researched extensively for intervention and training in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Autistic individuals are prone to social communication and behavioral differences that contribute to their high rate of unemployment.
