The Road to Safety: A Review of Uncertainty and Applications to Autonomous Driving Perception.

Deep learning approaches have been gaining importance in several applications. However, the widespread use of these methods in safety-critical domains, such as Autonomous Driving, is still dependent on their reliability and trustworthiness. The goal of this paper is to provide a review of deep learning-based uncertainty methods and their applications to support perception tasks for Autonomous Driving.

The effects of COVID-19 on female and male bike sharing users: Insights from Lisbon's .

Women are among the groups most affected by the pandemic as they are more likely to be dependent on public transport (PT), which was heavily restricted during COVID-19. Thus, there is a need to consider transport alternatives such as bike sharing that can ensure their mobility needs. By conducting a survey to the bike sharing system (BSS) of Lisbon, we explored differences in travel behaviour and attitudes between female and male users before and during COVID-19.

The strengths and weaknesses of bike sharing as an alternative mode during disruptive public health crisis: A qualitative analysis on the users' motivations during COVID-19.

The coronavirus pandemic may provoke an increase on our overreliance on private car usage due to a permanent loss of confidence on public transport (PT), threatening current decarbonization efforts of the transport sector. Thus, alternative modes like bike sharing systems (BSS) must be considered. In this study, through conducting 16 semi-structured interviews and by employing thematic analysis, we explore the users' perceptions of using Lisbon's BSS during this pandemic.

The motivations for using bike sharing during the COVID-19 pandemic: Insights from Lisbon.

Urban mobility has been severely impacted by the coronavirus pandemic, with public transport (PT) particularly affected due to infection risks and fears. The promotion of alternative modes of transport such as bike sharing systems (BSS) has gained a new drive as a possible way of providing an alternative to PT and limit a potential surge in private car use. In this study, we provide insights on the motivations for using bike sharing during the COVID-19 pandemic through a survey to the BSS users of Lisbon (entitled ).

The link between bike sharing and subway use during the COVID-19 pandemic: The case-study of New York's Citi Bike.

The full societal impact COVID-19 pandemic is laid bare in urban mobility patterns. This research explored the recently published data on the operation of subway and bike share systems (BSS) during the COVID-19 outbreak in New York city, providing evidence on its impact over urban transport systems, but also on how its different components can work in conjunction. The BSS has proved to be more resilient than the subway system, with a less significant ridership drop (71% vs 90% ridership drop and 50% decrease on the ridership ratio) and an increase on its trips' average duration (from 13 min to 19 min per trip).

3D Breast Volume Estimation.

Introduction: Breast volume estimation is considered crucial for breast cancer surgery planning. A single, easy, and reproducible method to estimate breast volume is not available. This study aims to evaluate, in patients proposed for mastectomy, the accuracy of the calculation of breast volume from a low-cost 3D surface scan (Microsoft Kinect) compared to the breast MRI and water displacement technique.

InspirerMundi-Remote Monitoring of Inhaled Medication Adherence through Objective Verification Based on Combined Image Processing Techniques.

Background: The adherence to inhaled controller medications is of critical importance for achieving good clinical results in patients with chronic respiratory diseases. Self-management strategies can result in improved health outcomes and reduce unscheduled care and improve disease control. However, adherence assessment suffers from difficulties on attaining a high grade of trustworthiness given that patient self-reports of high-adherence rates are known to be unreliable.

Automatic Sternum Segmentation in Thoracic MRI.

The Sternum is a human bone located in the anterior area of the thoracic cage. It is present in most of the axial cuts provided from the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) acquisitions, used in the medical field. Detecting the Sternum is relevant as it contains rigid key-points for 3D model reconstructions, assisting in the planning and evaluation of several surgical procedures, and for atlas development by segmenting structures in anatomical proximity.

Three-Dimensional Planning Tool for Breast Conserving Surgery: A Technological Review.

Breast cancer is one of the most common malignancies affecting women worldwide. However, despite its incidence trends have increased, the mortality rate has significantly decreased. The primary concern in any cancer treatment is the oncological outcome but, in the case of breast cancer, the surgery aesthetic result has become an important quality indicator for breast cancer patients.

A Regression Model for Predicting Shape Deformation after Breast Conserving Surgery.

Breast cancer treatments can have a negative impact on breast aesthetics, in case when surgery is intended to intersect tumor. For many years mastectomy was the only surgical option, but more recently breast conserving surgery (BCS) has been promoted as a liable alternative to treat cancer while preserving most part of the breast. However, there is still a significant number of BCS intervened patients who are unpleasant with the result of the treatment, which leads to self-image issues and emotional overloads.

[Choroidal type aneurysmal malformation of the vein of Galen associated with Dandy-Walker malformation in an adult].

Lasjaunias differentiated true vein of Galen aneurysmal malformations (MAVG), which drain to the median prosencephalic vein of Markowski, the embryonic precursor of the vein of Galen, from the aneurysmal dilatations of vein of Galen (VGDA), which reveal venous drainage into a dilated vein of Galen, but already formed. In angioarchitectural terms, MAVG can still be divided in two subtypes: the mural form and the choroidal form, the most common. The authors describe the clinical case of a 18 years-old female, without symptoms until July 2001, who presented an episode of impaired equilibrium associated with vomits and non-specific vision disturbances.
