AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
We propose a new and flexible simulation method for non-normal data with user-specified marginal distributions, covariance matrix and certain bivariate dependencies. The VITA (VIne To Anything) method is based on regular vines and generalizes the NORTA (NORmal To Anything) method. Fundamental theoretical properties of the VITA method are deduced. Two illustrations demonstrate the flexibility and usefulness of VITA in the context of structural equation models. R code for the implementation is provided.

Development and Implementation of the Palliative Care Assessment Toolkit for Rural Aged Care Facilities in Australia.

Palliative care (PC) in rural aged care facilities faces significant challenges, including late referrals and insufficient staff training, leading to a risk of suboptimal end-of-life care. The aim of the project was to develop and implement an evidence-based Palliative Care Assessment Toolkit (PCAT) to improve PC in rural aged care facilities and evaluate its impact on care delivery and staff practices. The study employed a mixed-methods design across three phases: codesign of the toolkit, implementation, and evaluation (using pre- and post-data).

Grapevine trunk diseases (GTDs) attack the vine's wood, devastating vineyards worldwide. Chile is the world's fourth-largest wine exporter, and Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the most economically important red wine varieties. Botryosphaeria dieback is an important GTD, and is one of the main pathogenic species.

Article Synopsis
- In Australia, breast screening is free every two years for women aged 50-74, but women aged ≥75 can receive screenings without formal invitations.
- A study with 60 women aged ≥75 explored their experiences, motivations, and understanding of breast cancer screening, revealing limited information about ongoing screenings past age 75.
- Key findings highlighted a desire to continue screening among regular participants, but lack of communication from healthcare providers left many feeling confused and marginalized regarding their screening options.

Vine copulas have become the standard tool for modelling complex probabilistic dependence. It has been shown that the number of regular vines grows extremely quickly with the number of nodes. Chimera is the first attempt to map the vast space of regular vines.

Although many popular seeds-based algorithms have been proposed to improve the segmentation quality of superpixels, they still suffer from the seeds initialization problem and the pixel assignment problem. In this paper, we propose Vine Spread for Superpixel Segmentation (VSSS) to form superpixel with high quality.
