Validation of the Malawi Developmental Assessment Tool for children in the Dominican Republic: Preliminary results

Plos.org 

by Laura V. Sánchez-Vincitore, Paul Schaettle, Arachu Castro

Background

This study initiated the validation process of a translated and adapted version of the Malawi Developmental Assessment Tool (MDAT) for children in the Dominican Republic (DR). Like Malawi before the development of the MDAT, the DR did not have early childhood development (ECD) tools explicitly designed for low-resource areas that are also valid assessments of child development. We chose MDAT because it underwent a rigorous... Читать дальше...

SimNet: Similarity-based network embeddings with mean commute time

Plos.org 

by Moein Khajehnejad

In this paper, we propose a new approach for learning node embeddings for weighted undirected networks. We perform a random walk on the network to extract the latent structural information and perform node embedding learning under a similarity-based framework. Unlike previous works, we apply a different criterion to capture the proximity information between nodes in a network, and use it for improved modeling of similarities between nodes. We show that the mean commute time (MCT) between two nodes... Читать дальше...

Prediction of 30-day pediatric unplanned hospitalizations using the Johns Hopkins Adjusted Clinical Groups risk adjustment system

Plos.org 

by Mitchell G. Maltenfort, Yong Chen, Christopher B. Forrest

Background

The Johns Hopkins ACG System is widely used to predict patient healthcare service use and costs. Most applications have focused on adult populations. In this study, we evaluated the use of the ACG software to predict pediatric unplanned hospital admission in a given month, based on the past year’s clinical information captured by electronic health records (EHRs).

Methods and findings

EHR data from a multi-state... Читать дальше...

Characterizing the US trade in lionfishes

Plos.org 

by Timothy J. Lyons, Quenton M. Tuckett, Jeffrey E. Hill

Invasive lionfishes Pterois volitans and Pterois miles have spread throughout the tropical western Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of Mexico, and Greater Caribbean. Beyond these two invaders, additional species within the subfamily Pteroinae are regularly imported into the United States. We evaluated the trade of lionfishes as a surrogate measure for propagule pressure, an important component of invasion success. Proactive evaluation of marine ornamental fishes in trade is vital...

Worth a thousand interpersonal words: Emoji as affective signals for relationship-oriented digital communication

Plos.org 

by Amanda N. Gesselman, Vivian P. Ta, Justin R. Garcia

Computer-mediated communication (CMC) is pervasive in our lives, influencing social interaction including human courtship. To connect with potential partners via CMC, modern relationship-seekers must master faster and shorter methods of communicating self-disclosure and affect. Although CMC can lack crucial sensory information in this context, emojis may provide useful aid. Across two studies, we assessed attitudes toward and frequency of emoji use... Читать дальше...

Acylcarnitine profiling by low-resolution LC-MS

Plos.org 

by David Meierhofer

Acylcarnitines are fatty acyl esters of L-carnitine and facilitate the entry of long-chain fatty acids into mitochondria via the carnitine shuttle, where they are metabolized via ß-oxidation. Alterations of acylcarnitine species can be diagnostic for fatty acid oxidation disorders and organic aciduria and are thus frequently used to screen newborns. Only a subfraction of all known acylcarnitines is thereby monitored and quantified. Therefore, a method for the simultaneous... Читать дальше...
