Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine the onset of fetal movements' perception and to identify parameters that affect this timing.
Methods: This was a prospective cohort study including singleton pregnancies that attended routine prenatal care, in a tertiary care center, in northern Greece, between January 2020 and July 2021. We collected data on medical and obstetric history, and invited women to record the time that they perceived the fetal movements for the first time, that being the primary outcome of the study.
The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in an unprecedented production of scientific literature spanning several fields. To facilitate navigation of the scientific literature related to various aspects of the pandemic, we developed an exploratory search system. The system is based on automatically identified technical terms, document citations, and their visualization, accelerating identification of relevant documents.

A complicated pregnancy and hospital admission may negatively affect the pregnant woman's mental health. Several factors have been identified as possible risk factors for depression, which is proven to lead to several adverse perinatal outcomes.

Their curation is typically carried out through manual inspection of published scientific literature to find information relevant to a model, which is a laborious and knowledge-intensive task. Furthermore, models curated manually cannot be easily updated and maintained with new evidence extracted from the literature without automated support.

Such methods must not only extract snippets of text that relate to model interactions, but also be able to contextualize the evidence and provide additional confidence scores for the interaction in question. Although various approaches calculating confidence scores have focused primarily on the quality of the extracted information, there has been little work on exploring the textual uncertainty conveyed by the author.
