Diabetes is a chronic illness which is among the 7th leading causes of death in the world. Accompanied by physical, emotional and social discomforts, the treatment in itself proves expensive for a developing economy-or a single family. But studies have shown that it can be treated and consequences be delayed with diet, physical activity and regular...

Most of the cutting-edge 3D convolutional-based video saliency prediction models adopt a fully convolutional encoder-decoder architecture, which provides a good spatiotemporal representation of salient regions. However, the spatiotemporal cues of the saliency models will be continuously diluted during the decoding process, leading to a decreased ab...

In clinical practice, self-administered and brief tools to promptly identify older people at risk of frailty are required. The Multidimensional Prognostic Index (MPI), derived from the Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) seems reliable enough to serve this purpose, but despite the several versions developed over the past 15 years, it lacks a s...

Despite enhanced infection prevention efforts, Clostridioides difficile remains the leading cause of healthcare-associated infections in the United States. Current prevention strategies are limited by their failure to account for patients who carry C. difficile asymptomatically, who may act as hidden reservoirs transmitting infections to other pati...

The unstructured employment interview is one of the most popular selection tools among employers and applicants alike. Although past research has shed light on some explanations for practitioners’ preferences for unstructured methods, less is known about the reasons for their popularity among applicants. One reason might be that applicants overesti...

Older people represent a large part of the population. Focusing on this population in order to protect them from the health risks they may face during their lifetime, especially undernutrition, is a very important issue. Indeed, undernutrition is a disease state caused by an imbalance in nutritional intake in relation to the body's energy expenditu...

We consider the screening of the axio-dilaton fields when both the dilaton and the axion couple to matter with Yukawa couplings. We analyze the screening of the dilaton in the vicinity of a compact object and find that this can only take place when special boundary conditions at infinity are imposed. We study the cosmological dynamics of the axio-d...

Additionally, we introduce a novel screening criterion for identifying candidate twin primes, extending our previous work l...

We analyse recent contradictory results and conclusions about the spectrum of the screened Coulomb potential V (r) = −r −1 e −C/r. The well known Hellmann-Feynman theorem shows that all the bound states of the Coulomb potential (C = 0) remain bounded as C increases. We derive a simple approximate analytical expression for the eigenvalues for suffic...
