Professionalism Program Evaluation and Its Impact on Undergraduate Medical Students.

Objective The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a professionalism program by conducting focus group discussions (FGDs). The research focuses on understanding how the program influences the development of professionalism skills among medical students, as well as their perceptions and experiences regarding the program. The study's objectives revolve around identifying the strengths and weaknesses of the program from the perspective of the students.

PseAAC2Vec protein encoding for TCR protein sequence classification.

The classification and prediction of T-cell receptors (TCRs) protein sequences are of significant interest in understanding the immune system and developing personalized immunotherapies. In this study, we propose a novel approach using Pseudo Amino Acid Composition (PseAAC) protein encoding for accurate TCR protein sequence classification. The PseAAC2Vec encoding method captures the physicochemical properties of amino acids and their local sequence information, enabling the representation of protein sequences as fixed-length feature vectors.

Exploring the Potential of GANs in Biological Sequence Analysis.

Biological sequence analysis is an essential step toward building a deeper understanding of the underlying functions, structures, and behaviors of the sequences. It can help in identifying the characteristics of the associated organisms, such as viruses, etc., and building prevention mechanisms to eradicate their spread and impact, as viruses are known to cause epidemics that can become global pandemics.

Sexual dimorphism in finger ridge breadth measurements: a tool for sex estimation from fingerprints.

Previous research has demonstrated significant sexual dimorphism in friction ridge skin characteristics. This study uses a novel method for measuring sexual dimorphism in finger ridge breadths to evaluate its utility as a sex estimation method from an unknown fingerprint. Beginning and ending in a valley, the width of ten parallel ridges with no obstructions or minutia was measured in a sample of 250 males and females (N = 500).

A re-examination of cremains weight: sex and age variation in a Northern California sample.

The reduction of modern commercially cremated remains into a fine powder negates the use of traditional methods of skeletal analysis. The literature on the use of cremains weight for estimating aspects of the biologic profile is limited, often with conflicting results. This study re-evaluates the value of weight in the assessment of biologic parameters from modern cremated remains.
