Design and implementation of Clinical Databases using openEHRPablo Pazos
This document provides an overview of designing and implementing clinical databases using openEHR. It discusses clinical information requirements, organization, and database technologies. OpenEHR's goals are to create flexible, interoperable EHRs through archetypes and templates that define clinical concepts. For database design, archetype IDs, paths, and node IDs are important for querying openEHR data. Relational databases can be used through object-relational mapping, mapping classes to tables, relationships, and inheritance.
This document discusses best practices for using PySpark. It covers:
- Core concepts of PySpark including RDDs and the execution model. Functions are serialized and sent to worker nodes using pickle.
- Recommended project structure with modules for data I/O, feature engineering, and modeling.
- Writing testable, serializable code with static methods and avoiding non-serializable objects like database connections.
- Tips for testing like unit testing functions and integration testing the full workflow.
- Best practices for running jobs like configuring the Python environment, managing dependencies, and logging to debug issues.
Natural Language Search with Knowledge Graphs (Activate 2019)Trey Grainger
The document discusses natural language search using knowledge graphs. It provides an overview of knowledge graphs and how they can help with natural language search. Specifically, it discusses how knowledge graphs can represent relationships and semantics in unstructured text. It also describes how semantic knowledge graphs are generated in Solr and how they can be used for tasks like query understanding, expansion and disambiguation.
The document discusses the RDF data model. The key points are:
1. RDF represents data as a graph of triples consisting of a subject, predicate, and object. Triples can be combined to form an RDF graph.
2. The RDF data model has three types of nodes - URIs to identify resources, blank nodes to represent anonymous resources, and literals for values like text strings.
3. RDF graphs can be merged to integrate data from multiple sources in an automatic way due to RDF's compositional nature.
POLYGLOT-NER: Massive Multilingual Named Entity RecognitionBryan Perozzi
The increasing diversity of languages used on the web introduces a new level of complexity to Information Retrieval (IR) systems. We can no longer assume that textual content is written in one language or even the same language family. In this paper, we demonstrate how to build massive multilingual annotators with minimal human expertise and intervention. We describe a system that builds Named Entity Recognition (NER) annotators for 40 major languages using Wikipedia and Freebase. Our approach does not require NER human annotated datasets or language specific resources like treebanks, parallel corpora, and orthographic rules. The novelty of approach lies therein - using only language agnostic techniques, while achieving competitive performance.
Our method learns distributed word representations (word embeddings) which encode semantic and syntactic features of words in each language. Then, we automatically generate datasets from Wikipedia link structure and Freebase attributes. Finally, we apply two preprocessing stages (oversampling and exact surface form matching) which do not require any linguistic expertise.
Our evaluation is two fold: First, we demonstrate the system performance on human annotated datasets. Second, for languages where no gold-standard benchmarks are available, we propose a new method, distant evaluation, based on statistical machine translation.

Frame - Feature Management for Productive Machine LearningDavid Stein
Presented at the ML Platforms Meetup at Pinterest HQ in San Francisco on August 16, 2018.
Abstract: At LinkedIn we observed that much of the complexity in our machine learning applications was in their feature preparation workflows. To address this problem, we built Frame, a shared virtual feature store that provides a unified abstraction layer for accessing features by name. Frame removes the need for feature consumers to deal directly with underlying data sources, which are often different across computing environments. By simplifying feature preparation, Frame has made ML applications at LinkedIn easier to build, modify, and understand.
The document discusses data engineering and compares different data stores. It motivates data engineering to gain insights from data and build data infrastructures. It describes the data engineering ecosystem and various data stores like relational databases, key-value stores, and graph stores. It then compares Amazon Redshift, a cloud data warehouse, to NoSQL databases Cassandra and HBase. Redshift is optimized for analytics with SQL and columnar storage while Cassandra and HBase are better for scalability with eventual consistency. The best data store depends on an organization's architecture, use cases, and tradeoffs between consistency, availability and performance.
Presented at the MLConf in Seattle, this presentation offers a quick introduction to Apache Spark, followed by an overview of two novel features for data science

It notes that EHRs use standardized codes to allow for interoperability and continuity of care across providers. EHR systems can provide clinical decision support, facilitate evidence-based practices, and enable automated clinical workflows and extensive patient education. Outsourcing EHR infrastructure to a secure cloud model tied to service level agreements reduces costs and infrastructure challenges for hospitals while improving availability, security, and free version updates. Following international trends of cloud-based EHR systems can help hospitals implement effective health IT solutions without reinventing processes.

Probiotics and it's use in Treatment of Neurodegenerative DisordersAbish15
The use of probiotics in the treatment and management of neurodegenerative disorders has emerged as a promising and increasingly discussed topic in recent years. Neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and multiple sclerosis are characterized by progressive neuronal damage and chronic inflammation, conditions in which the gut-brain axis plays a significant role. The human gut microbiota is now recognized as a key modulator of brain function through immune, metabolic, and neural pathways. Probiotics—live microorganisms that confer health benefits to the host when administered in adequate amounts—have shown potential in restoring gut microbial balance, reducing systemic inflammation, and modulating neurotransmitter levels.
Recent preclinical and clinical studies suggest that certain probiotic strains can improve cognitive function, reduce neuroinflammation, and enhance mood in patients with neurodegenerative conditions. For example, specific Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium strains have demonstrated neuroprotective effects by producing short-chain fatty acids, regulating the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, and enhancing gut barrier integrity. As a result, the gut microbiome and probiotics have become a focus of interest for researchers exploring novel, non-invasive, and adjunctive therapies for neurological diseases. Despite the growing body of evidence, more large-scale clinical trials are needed to fully understand the mechanisms involved and to standardize probiotic treatments for neurodegenerative disorders. Nonetheless, the field represents a promising frontier in neuropharmacology and personalized medicine.
Green and Yellow Gradient Healthy Lifestyle Presentation.pdfJYOTHI
A healthy lifestyle involves making intentional choices that support physical, mental, and emotional well-being. It encompasses balanced eating, regular physical activity, sufficient rest, stress management, and cultivating positive relationships. A healthy lifestyle also includes avoiding harmful habits like smoking or excessive alcohol consumption and prioritizing regular health check-ups. The goal is to improve overall quality of life, prevent disease, and enhance longevity by integrating healthy habits into daily routines.
Poor ergonomics in early years can lead to:
Chronic pain (e.g., back, neck, shoulders)
Poor posture habits
Repetitive strain injuries
Reduced focus or academic performance
Encourage regular movement and stretching.
Teach children about good posture and safe lifting techniques.
Monitor for signs of discomfort or fatigue during prolonged tasks.

ATTITUDE, PSYCHOLOGY, Post Basic B.Sc. Nursingpuchupuchu3
In psychology, attitude refers to a learned tendency to evaluate people, objects, events, or ideas in a consistent way—either positively, negatively, or neutrally. It is a complex mental state involving beliefs, feelings, and behavioral intentions. Attitudes help individuals make sense of the world, guiding their reactions and interactions within social environments. They are influenced by various factors such as upbringing, culture, personal experiences, peer influence, and media. Psychologists categorize attitude components into three parts: cognitive (thoughts or beliefs), affective (emotions), and behavioral (actions). Attitudes are not static; they can change with new information, persuasive communication, or personal experiences. Understanding attitudes is essential in fields like social psychology, marketing, education, and health because they play a key role in shaping behavior. Whether promoting social harmony or triggering bias, attitudes are central to human psychology and behavior, making their study crucial to understanding individuals and society.
