Most justifications clinicians entered across three separate clinical content areas fit within a small number of themes, and these common rationales may aid in the design of effective accountable justification interventions. Justifications varied in terms of level of clinical detail. On their own, most justifications did not clearly represent appropriate clinical decision making.
Authors introduce a modular approach to dosage form design, and in this report we apply the approach toward obtaining dosage forms carrying a weakly basic API. The dosage forms obtained exhibit pH-independent API release. The dosage form assemblies of this study consist of prefabricated modules, each carrying either the API or the pH-modifying excipient, such that the API and excipient are in close proximity in the dosage form but remain separate from, i.e., not blended with, each other throughout.
The design and implementation of a programming environment, including an editor, a debugger and an interpreter engine for Lograph, a general-purpose visual logic programming language, is discussed. The rationale for user-interface design decisions is presented, the goal of which is to increase cognitive support for the creation, exploration and debugging of Lograph programs. The design of the interpreter engine allows for animation of execution in the debugger. The engine takes full advantage of an efficient implementation of Prolog and operates on a Prolog translation of Lograph programs and queries. The translated Lograph programs are probed with instrumentation code at appropriate places so that applications of Lograph rules are reported to the visual interface of the Lograph debugger as a side effect of the program's execution.
This study adopts the method of cross-disciplinary research, sketching the jewellery, analyzing from the point line surface perspective to construct the 3D model of jewellery, then colouring the 3D model of jewellery through Photoshop, more realistic aesthetics, optimizing the details of the 3D model according to the formula, establishing the mapping function to input into the python custom module, establishing the mapping relationship between semantic evaluation and design parameters By applying the genetic algorithm, it solves the complex design problems that cannot be dealt with by human enumeration scheme, and provides the optimal scheme and optimization direction for the design based on a large amount of operation, integrating the methods of design, art theory, software programming and other By integrating different disciplinary approaches, the objective and rigour of the design process are improved based on the relatively subjective nature of art and design.
Research4Life is a collaborative initiative providing free or low-cost access to scientific and scholarly content for researchers, academics, and professionals in low- and middle-income countries. Established by the World Health Organization, the Food and Agriculture Organization, the United Nations Environment Programme, and other partners, Research4Life encompasses programs like HINARI, AGORA, and OARE, offering access to a vast repository of peer-reviewed journals, books, and databases in various disciplines, including health, agriculture, and environmental science. By bridging the digital divide, Research4Life aims to empower individuals in resource-constrained settings with essential knowledge, fostering global collaboration and advancing scientific progress for sustainable development.

An institution to Research4Life can get a free trial six-month period, through which staff and students at your institution will have access to one of the world’s largest collections of scientific and technical literature offered by the leading international scientific publishers.
This Friday, 23rd of February (10:30 CET) COST ENIS network will be hosting a roundtable on the topic of women in science to celebrate the day of women and girls in science (11th Feb).
They would like to invite all of you to attend the roundtable, during which you will also have time to contribute your thoughts and questions. Thoughts and views will be shared from both the researcher and the practitioner side, and we'll also welcome ideas by early-career researchers as well as more senior academics.
Here's the link for you to connect to the event, which you're also more than welcome to share:

Western Balkans Fund Move Grants Now Open to Boost Regional Cooperation and Mobility in the Western Balkans Region
The Western Balkans Fund (WBF) is pleased to announce the opening of the Fourth Call for WBF Move Grants, aimed at fostering regional cooperation and mobility within the Western Balkans Region. This initiative seeks to empower individuals across various sectors by providing financial support for projects that promote collaboration and exchange.
The WBF Move Grants offer a maximum amount of 4,000 Euros in grants to eligible applicants. The grants are open to diverse individuals, including academic staff, researchers, students, civil society activists, public employees, journalists, artists, athletes, and more.
WBF Move Grants is a grant scheme launched by the Western Balkans Fund in 2023. In the three previous Calls for Proposals (March, June, October 23), WBF provided 85 grants to regional stakeholders. For more please visit: https://westernbalkansfund.org/
Key details of the Fourth Call for WBF Move Grants include:
Application Period: The application period will last 30 days, providing interested individuals ample time to submit their proposals (20 February-20 March).
Application Process: Applicants must apply through the Online Grant Management System, which can be accessed via the official webpage of the Western Balkans Fund at www.westernbalkansfund.org.
Eligibility: All citizens holding the nationality of one of the Contracting Parties of the WBF are eligible to apply.
The WBF Move Grants Scheme is part of the institutional strengthening and diversification of the grant portfolio of the Western Balkans Fund, supported by the Swiss Government.
SPS's present aims include detecting and preventing the use of chemical, biological, and radiological weapons to combat terrorism.
• Defense against security studies the causes and potential solutions to resource security issues such as food and energy scarcity, as well as environmental degradation.
• Proactive assessment of problems related to partner country priorities.
Next SPS calls for proposals
Many interested researchers are wondering when they will be able to submit new proposals. Here are the tentative timelines of the next SPS calls for proposals:
The 2024/2 call for proposals will be launched in April, with a deadline in June 2024.
The 2025/1 call for proposals will be launched in in October, with a deadline in January 2025.
AI systems that can engage in diagnostic discourse have the potential to improve accessibility, consistency, and quality of care. However, mimicking physician expertise is a significant great issue. The team behind Google DeepMind have proposed a new AI model, designed for diagnostic dialogue, called AMIE (Articulate Medical Intelligence Explorer), in a recent preprint paper, Towards Conversational Diagnostic AI (https://arxiv.org/abs/2401.05654) published on 11 January on arXiv. The model could take in information from patients and provide clear explanations of medical conditions in a wellness visit consultation.

Towards Conversational Diagnostic AI (https://arxiv.org/abs/2401.05654) published on 11 January on arXiv. This paper introduces AMIE (Articulate Medical Intelligence Explorer), a Large Language Model (LLM) based AI system optimized for diagnostic dialogue. AMIE employs a framework to assess clinically relevant aspects of performance, such as history-taking, diagnostic accuracy, managerial reasoning, communication skills, and empathy. The study contained 149 case scenarios from clinical providers in Canada, the United Kingdom, and India, 20 PCPs to compare with AMIE, and evaluations by specialized physicians and patient actors. AMIE outperformed specialized physicians on 28 of 32 axes and patient actors on 24 of 26 axes, indicating higher diagnosis accuracy and performance. This study contains limitations and should be treated with caution. Clinicians were constrained to unfamiliar synchronous text-chat, which allows for large-scale LLM-patient contacts but does not indicate standard clinical practice.
