Summary: This article explores the issues of garbage collection (GC) in solid-state drives, proposing a fast GC scheme called FastGC that efficiently detects the copyback feasibility of data using copyback error characteristics for optimized data migration and wear leveling. The FastGC greatly improves system performance and extends the lifespan of SSDs, as demonstrated by comprehensive experiments in SSDsim comparing it to traditional copyback-based GC.

Summary: Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) offers byte-addressability and persistency, providing an opportunity to build new database systems with a single-layer storage design. N2DB, a single-layer NVM-Native DataBase, avoids the complexity of disk-oriented and in-memory databases. The paper also presents the garbage collection and data recovery mechanisms for N2DB.

Summary: This study proposes an effective and low-cost method for detecting dumpsites using deep convolutional networks applied to satellite images. Compared with manual methods, the new method saves more than 96.8% of the investigation time while maintaining strong sensitivity to dumpsites. The approach allows for the timely and cost-efficient detection of dumpsites, which is crucial for environmental governance in various countries.

Summary: In recent decades, the amount of household waste in rural China has increased, causing environmental and health risks. Effective garbage classification can reduce waste volume, facilitate recycling, and improve environmental quality. Developed countries have implemented domestic garbage classification, but a global model does not yet exist. The impact of incentive-based policies on garbage classification and residents' acceptance of rewards and punishments is a hot research topic.

Summary: This paper aimed to investigate the potential accumulation of toxic elements in the surface sediments of cavuslu Stream in Giresun, Turkey, and determine any association between a garbage disposal facility and ecotoxicity or human health risk. Results showed that certain metals in the sediments were above average shale levels, indicating potential toxic responses in benthic organisms. Multivariate statistical analysis suggested that anthropogenic pollution, likely from the GDF, played a major role in the metal accumulation in the sediments of the cavuslu Stream.

Summary: This empirical study found that urban residents have a significantly higher willingness to sort and deposit garbage at designated points compared to rural residents. Factors such as the number of family meals, household food expenditure, cleanliness, and neighbourhood environment all play a significant role in a family's willingness to sort garbage. The study also proposes that improving neighbourhood garbage recycling services and facilities can enhance people's convenience in garbage sorting.

Summary: In this study, a deep learning-based method (CHESHIRE) is proposed to predict missing reactions in genome-scale metabolic models using topological features of the metabolic networks. Results show that CHESHIRE outperforms other topology-based methods in predicting artificially removed reactions and improving phenotypic predictions. This method is of great significance for the curation of genome-scale metabolic models.

Summary: In NAND flash-based consumer electronics, garbage collection can negatively impact performance and lifespan. Hot-cold data separation is crucial for efficient garbage collection. This paper presents a novel algorithm that accurately separates hot-cold data by introducing the T-P factor. Experimental results demonstrate its superiority in terms of garbage collection overhead, wear leveling, and extra memory consumption.

Summary: Misclassification of HIV deaths can reduce the usefulness of cause of death data. This study developed methods to adjust misclassified cause of death data to estimate HIV mortality in 132 countries and territories. The corrections resulted in an increase in reported HIV deaths, enhancing the data's value for tracking progress and analyzing trends.

Summary: This article presents a method for rewriting and reading data on synthetic macromolecules. By utilizing a reversible strategy to modify position tags and a novel algorithm, the information encoded in macromolecules can be efficiently modified and decoded. This method simplifies the read-out process, increasing the potential for blind sequencing of macromolecules.

Summary: This article highlights the potential risks associated with the collection and interpretation of 'big' health data, focusing on a study investigating the use of hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine for COVID-19 treatment. It emphasizes the pitfalls that researchers may face in multi-country studies and the importance of considering country-specific factors like data items, ethical constraints, and health classification systems. The inclusion of a Health Information Manager in research teams and ethics committees is suggested as a way to prevent potential problems in research.

Summary: This study investigated the health information governance status and maturity in Victorian hospitals in Australia, and found that 50% of respondent-hospitals had no formal health information governance program. The hospitals need to improve privacy-security compliance and audits, as well as enhance the electronic data breach detection skills of health information managers.

Summary: This study investigated the secondary uses of population health and administrative datasets of the Department of Health (DoH) in Victoria, Australia, and evaluated their fitness-for-purpose. The findings showed that these information assets were widely used for research purposes, with the majority of them being fit-for-purpose. The study recommends that data custodians provide information on data quality and transparency in the use of health information assets.

Summary: This article identifies and contextualizes the societal and political drivers that have shaped contemporary Australian health information management and HIMs' scientific work. It discusses eight critical, socio-political drivers including scientific medicine, standardization, non-medical healthcare managers, bureaucratisation in healthcare, technologisation, the fast-paced risk society, the health consumer movement, and the commodification of health information. These forces continue to shape the profession and will impact its direction.
