Abstract

This study presents a modular Fuzzy Expert System (FES) for chemotherapy drug dose scheduling. The computational model considers the patient’s Body Surface Area (BSA) and experts’ opinions to calculate chemo doses following the clinical practice. A proper balance between reducing cancerous cells and toxic side effects is required for effective drug scheduling. Still, in many cases, traditional clinical approaches fail to determine appropriate therapeutical doses that balance all restrictions. In our proposed system, FES-1 is developed to determine primary drug doses based on experts’ opinions and competing treatment objectives. To adjust the dose, FES-2 is developed based on clinical practices, the patient’s BSA, and experts’ opinions. The final chemotherapy drug dose schedule is generated by combining the outputs of FES-1 and FES-2, which is the proposed modular FES. A growth model is used in this work to observe response due to administration of chemotherapy drug doses and to determine the following doses by considering cancer patients’ three weight patterns (increasing, decreasing, and random order). Extensive simulation results and comparative assessment with other current computational chemotherapy drug scheduling models validate the effectiveness and the superiority of the model proposed in this study over the other methods reported in relevant studies.

Abstract

In the modern world, dams and the artificial reservoirs behind them serve the increasing demand for water across diverse needs such as agriculture, energy production, and drinking water. As dams continue to proliferate, monitoring water availability influenced by reservoir operations is now of paramount importance. The Reservoir Assessment Tool (RAT) is a data-driven software platform that integrates satellite remote sensing with hydrological models, enabling the estimation of key reservoir parameters such as inflow, outflow, surface area, evaporation, and storage changes. The earliest version of RAT (version 1.0) was set up for 1598 reservoirs around the world with limitations in functional robustness, updating frequency, and scalability. Some of these limitations on updating frequency and functional robustness were addressed in version 2.0 that was later made operational for the intergovernmental agency of the Mekong River Commission. Recognizing the need for scalability to mobilize the global water management community to benefit from satellite remote sensing, we hereby introduce RAT version 3.0. This version is optimized for accelerating open collaboration among users for continuous improvement and customization of RAT to enable reservoir management breakthroughs. RAT 3.0 represents a wholesale overhaul from the previous versions to empower the global community of users and developers in the spirit of the open-source movement. RAT 3.0 allows reservoir monitoring advancements and new functional developments that can be freely exchanged and seamlessly integrated for continuous evolution of the software. A centralized web application has also been established to facilitate the storage and dissemination of global reservoir monitoring information along with comprehensive training resources. RAT 3.0 aspires to bridge the traditional practices of water management community with the capabilities of satellite remote sensing. The global impact of the software can be expected to increase as uptake spreads, enabling a more sustainable and equitable utilization of our planet's water resources. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

49. Newspaper Portrayal of Gender-Based Violence during COVID-19 Lockdown in Bangladesh

Abstract

SARS-CoV-2 or COVID-19, has emerged as the most serious public health threat of the contemporary age. More than 4.2 million individuals died as a result of this infectious virus, which has infected about 200 million people. Coronavirus spread quickly across the world due to its infectious nature, resulting in a large number of deaths. In many ways, COVID-19 had an impact on nearly every nation in economic, social, cultural, political, and other spheres. The study aims to find out the portrayal of Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) in popular English newspapers in Bangladesh. Data were collected from the 12 most-read English dailies that published news on IPV all over the country. The study used a summative approach of the qualitative content analysis method as formulated by Bengtsson (2016). Findings show that the frequency of published news on IPV considerably increased amid COVID-19 induced lockdown in Bangladesh. The causes of such incidents go back to deep-rooted patriarchal norms, gender roles and the powerlessness of women. Many incidents occurred during lockdown that, as victims reported, were triggered by shocks like sudden joblessness, chronic stress, abject poverty, etc. caused by the pandemic. Such violence often affected women’s physical, mental and reproductive health. Many incidents like stabbing to death, killing with the home weapon, and physical abuse became national headings amid lockdown. The study suggests undertaking special protection measures for women in any such future event. Awareness and cooperation of people along with appropriate policies can be major steps towards combating the impacts of COVID-19.
