Text Classification Model Explainability for Keyword Extraction - Towards Keyword-Based Summarization of Nursing Care Episodes
Tools to automate the summarization of nursing entries in electronic health records (EHR) have the potential to support healthcare professionals to obtain a rapid overview of a patient's situation when time is limited. ...
Handler familiarity helps to improve working performance during novel situations in semi-captive Asian elephants
<p>Working animals spend hours each day in close contact with humans and require training to understand commands and fulfil specific tasks. However, factors driving cooperation between humans and animals are still unclear, ...
Using machine learning to predict subsequent events after EMS non-conveyance decisions
<p><strong>Background: </strong>Predictors of subsequent events after Emergency Medical Services (EMS) non-conveyance decisions are still unclear, though patient safety is the priority in prehospital emergency care. The ...
MHC Class II Heterozygosity Associated With Attractiveness of Men and Women
The genes of the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC), which plays a fundamental role in the immune system, are some of the most diverse genes in vertebrates and have been connected to mate choice in several species, ...
Will granny save me? Birth status, survival, and the role of grandmothers in historical Finland
<p>Grandmothers play a crucial role in families enhancing grandchild
wellbeing and survival but their effects can be context-dependent, and
the children born in poor conditions are most likely to benefit from the
investments made by helping grandmothers. In this study, we examined,
for the first time, whether grandmothers' presence modified associations
between adverse birth status and survival up to 5 years of age. In
detail, we verified, whether (i) firstborns, (ii) twins, (iii) children born within 24 months after their sibling, and (iv)
children followed by short interval (i.e. their younger sibling was
born within 24 months) survived better when either their maternal,
paternal, or both grandmothers were present. Moreover, we evaluated
whether illegitimate children survived better when the maternal
grandmother was present. We used an extensive and largely pre-industrial
demographic dataset collected from parish population registers kept by
the Lutheran Church of Finland from years 1730–1895. We show that
although grandmother presence cannot mitigate adverse effects of many
poorer birth conditions, grandchildren whose next sibling was born after
a short interval survived better when the maternal grandmother was
present. Taken together, these findings highlight an important role of
grandmothers in compensating the mother's investment in the new baby,
thus enabling overall faster successful reproductive rate of mothers.
Whilst the opportunity for grandmothers to mitigate the risks of adverse
birth statuses is limited, this study does show - through the
beneficial effect on survival for those with a short subsequent birth
interval - that grandmothers can increase their daughters' and their own
reproductive success.</p>...

Peripherally Administered Y-2-Receptor Antagonist BIIE0246 Prevents Diet-Induced Obesity in Mice With Excess Neuropeptide Y, but Enhances Obesity in Control Mice
Neuropeptide Y (NPY) plays an important role in the regulation of energy homeostasis in the level of central and sympathetic nervous systems (SNSs). Genetic silencing of peripheral Y-2-receptors have anti-obesity effects, ...
Age related variation of health markers in Asian elephants
Although senescence is often observed in the wild, its underlying mechanistic causes can rarely be studied alongside its consequences, because data on health, molecular and physiological measures of senescence are rare. ...
Sex-specific links between the social landscape and faecal glucocorticoid metabolites in semi-captive Asian elephants
<p><br></p><p>Although social behaviour is common in group-living mammals, our understanding of its mechanisms in long-lived animals is largely based on studies in human and non-human primates. There are health and fitness ...
Parental Self-Efficacy and Child Diet Quality between Ages 2 and 5: The STEPS Study
<p>Parental self-efficacy (PSE), a measure of the subjective competence in the parental role, has been linked with child well-being and health. Research on the influence of PSE on child eating habits is scarce, and the few ...
