Methods: Concept maps were generated by ChatGPT 4.
With profound effects on patient care, the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in radiomics has become a disruptive force in contemporary medicine. Radiomics, the quantitative feature extraction and analysis from medical images, offers useful imaging biomarkers that can reveal important information about the nature of diseases, how well patients respond to treatment and patient outcomes. The use of AI techniques in radiomics, such as machine learning and deep learning, has made it possible to create sophisticated computer-aided diagnostic systems, predictive models, and decision support tools.

In literature, the tasks proposed focused on different cognitive skills to elicitate handwriting movements. In particular, the meaning and phonology of words to copy can compromise writing fluency.

This Technical Report contains a description of the activities within the work programme of the EU-FORA Fellowship on the training in the evaluation of pesticides (active substances and plant protection products) according to Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009. The purpose of the Plant Protection Product Regulation is to ensure a high level of protection of both human and animal health and the environment and at the same time to improve the functioning of the internal market through the harmonisation of the rules on the placing on the market of plant protection products, while improving agricultural production.

The quality of the results provided by such applications, however, is strongly influenced by the selection of effective features, which should be able to capture the distinctive aspects to which the paleography expert is interested in. This process is very difficult to generalize due to the enormous variability in the type of ancient documents, produced in different historical periods with different languages and styles.

In this context, it is generally agreed that handwriting is one of the first skills altered by the onset of AD. For this reason, the analysis of handwriting and the study of its alterations has become of great interest in order to formulate the diagnosis as soon as possible.
