AI Article Synopsis

  • The extension of Whitehouse's model could provide insights into understanding self-radicalised individuals who operate outside of traditional social groups.
  • Conceptual ties play a crucial role in this understanding, indicating a need for deeper analysis.
  • A brief analysis of a database from the START consortium is presented to suggest directions for future research that builds on Whitehouse's framework.

Article Abstract

We believe that Whitehouse's model could be extended in a way that can help us make sense of self-radicalised individuals who are not active in cliques. We believe that conceptual ties may be important to this process and present a brief analysis of a database collected by the national consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism (START), to suggest future research to complement Whitehouse's proposal.

RNA-ModX: a multilabel prediction and interpretation framework for RNA modifications.

Brief Bioinform

November 2024

In-Service Master Program in Artificial Intelligence in Medicine, College of Medicine, Taipei Medical University, 250 Wuxing Street, 110, Taipei, Taiwan.

Accurate prediction of RNA modifications holds profound implications for elucidating RNA function and mechanism, with potential applications in drug development. Here, the RNA-ModX presents a highly precise predictive model designed to forecast post-transcriptional RNA modifications, complemented by a user-friendly web application tailored for seamless utilization by future researchers. To achieve exceptional accuracy, the RNA-ModX systematically explored a range of machine learning models, including Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), Gated Recurrent Unit, and Transformer-based architectures.

Background: Despite South Africa's well-established Civil Registration and Vital Statistics system (CRVS) and good completeness of death registration, challenges persist in terms of the quality of cause of death information and the delayed availability of mortality statistics. The introduction of an electronic medical certification of cause of death (eMCCD) system may offer opportunities to improve both the quality and timeliness of this information.

Methods: This study used an exploratory mixed methods design to investigate perceptions surrounding an electronic solution for registering deaths in South Africa.

Background: At present, the participation rate in cancer screening is still not ideal, and the lack of screening information or misunderstanding of information is an important factor hindering cancer screening behaviour. Therefore, a systematic synthesis of information needs related to cancer screening is critical.

Methods: On July 23, 2024, we searched the Cochrane Library, MEDLINE (Ovid), Embase, EBSCO, PsycINFO, Scopus, ProQuest, PubMed, Web of Science, and CINAHL to collect qualitative or mixed-methods studies on information needs of cancer screening.

Microalgal-bacteria biofilm shows great potential in low-cost greywater treatment. Accurately predicting treated greywater quality is of great significance for water reuse. In this work, machine learning models were developed for simulating and predicting linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS) removal using 152-days collected data from a battled oxygenic microalgal-bacteria biofilm reactor (MBBfR).

Hub regions in the brain, recognized for their roles in ensuring efficient information transfer, are vulnerable to pathological alterations in neurodegenerative conditions, including Alzheimer's disease (AD). Computational simulations and animal experiments have hinted at the theory of activity-dependent degeneration as the cause of this hub vulnerability. However, two critical issues remain unresolved.
