Objective: This study aims to understand customer perceptions of community pharmacies utilizing publicly available data from Google Maps platform.

Materials And Methods: Python was used to scrape data with Google Maps APIs. As a result, 17,237 reviews were collected from 512 pharmacies distributed over Riyadh city, Saudi Arabia. Logistic regression was conducted to test the relationships between multiple variables and the given score. In addition, sentiment analysis using VADER (Valence Aware Dictionary for Sentiment Reasoning) model was conducted on written reviews, followed by cross-tabulation and chi-square tests.

Results: The Logistic regression model implies that a unit increase in the Pharmacy score enhances the odds of attaining a higher score by approximately 3.734 times. The Mann-Whitney test showed that a notable and statistically significant difference between "written reviews" and "unwritten reviews" (U = 39,928,072.5,  < 0.001). The Pearson chi-square test generated a value of 2991.315 with 8 degrees of freedom, leading to a value of 0.000.

Discussion: Our study found that the willingness of reviewers to write reviews depends on their perception. This study provides a descriptive analysis of conducted sentiment analysis using VADAR. The chi-square test indicates a significant relationship between rating scores and review sentiments.

Conclusion: This study offers valuable findings on customer perception of community pharmacies using a new source of data.

Assessment of temporal aggregation of Sentinel-2 images on seasonal land cover mapping and its impact on landscape metrics.

Environ Monit Assess

January 2025

Universidad Nacional de Córdoba - Facultad de Ciencias Agropecuarias, X5000HUA, Córdoba, Argentina.

Landscape metrics (LM) play a crucial role in fields such as urban planning, ecology, and environmental research, providing insights into the ecological and functional dynamics of ecosystems. However, in dynamic systems, generating thematic maps for LM analysis poses challenges due to the substantial data volume required and issues such as cloud cover interruptions. The aim of this study was to compare the accuracy of land cover maps produced by three temporal aggregation methods: median reflectance, maximum normalised difference vegetation index (NDVI), and a two-date image stack using Sentinel-2 (S2) and then to analyse their implications for LM calculation.

A salience map is a topographic map that has inputs at each x,y location from many different feature maps and summarizes the combined salience of all those inputs as a real number, salience, which is represented in the map. Of the more than 1 million Google references to salience maps, nearly all use the map for computing the relative priority of visual image components for subsequent processing. We observe that salience processing is an instance of substance-invariant processing, analogous to household measuring cups, weight scales, and measuring tapes, all of which make single-number substance-invariant measurements.

Background: Cardiovascular deserts are areas that lack medical facilities, specialists and equipment to effectively diagnose, treat and manage cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Romania registers the highest incidence and the highest mortality due to CVDs in Europe. Population ageing is a significant concern, as it increases the risk of CVDs and the demand for specialised care.

Cardiovascular diseases are a major cause of mortality and morbidity. Fast detection of life-threatening emergency events and an earlier start of the therapy would save many lives and reduce successive disabilities. Understanding the specific risk factors associated with heart attack and the degree of association is crucial in the clinical diagnosis.

Utilizing UAV and orthophoto data with bathymetric LiDAR in google earth engine for coastal cliff degradation assessment.

Sci Rep

January 2025

Department of Geomorphology and Quaternary Geology, Faculty of Oceanography and Geography, University of Gdańsk, Bażyńskiego 4, 80-952, Gdańsk, Poland.

This study introduces a novel methodology for estimating and analysing coastal cliff degradation, using machine learning and remote sensing data. Degradation refers to both natural abrasive processes and damage to coastal reinforcement structures caused by natural events. We utilized orthophotos and LiDAR data in green and near-infrared wavelengths to identify zones impacted by storms and extreme weather events that initiated mass movement processes.
