Student support in higher education: campus service utilization, impact, and challenges.

Worldwide, university student support services facilitate student performance, contribute to students' success, and increase students' chances of degree completion. Student support services programs' success depends on students' help-seeking behavior. This study explores the help-seeking behavior of Foundation Program and Undergraduate students at Qatar University (QU) through their use of campus services to better understand students' use of these services.

Predicting COVID-19 cases using bidirectional LSTM on multivariate time series.

To assist policymakers in making adequate decisions to stop the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, accurate forecasting of the disease propagation is of paramount importance. This paper presents a deep learning approach to forecast the cumulative number of COVID-19 cases using bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (Bi-LSTM) network applied to multivariate time series. Unlike other forecasting techniques, our proposed approach first groups the countries having similar demographic and socioeconomic aspects and health sector indicators using K-means clustering algorithm.

Low-dose Bleomycin Injections for Orbital Lymphatic and Lymphatic-Venous Malformations: A Multicentric Case Series Study.

Purpose: Orbital lymphatic malformations (LM) are associated with ocular morbidity and facial disfigurement. Surgery is challenging and may not be effective. We describe the outcome of bleomycin injections for venous LM and lymphatic-venous malformation (LVM) malformations of the orbit in 5 tertiary referral centers between January 2010 and December 2018.
