C: Consensus Cancer Driver Gene Caller / 基因组蛋白质组与生物信息学报·英文版

Next-generation sequencing has allowed identification of millions of somatic mutations in human cancer cells. A key challenge in interpreting cancer genomes is to distinguish drivers of cancer development among available genetic mutations. To address this issue, we present the first web-based application, consensus cancer driver gene caller (C), to identify the consensus driver genes using six different complementary strategies, i.e., frequency-based, machine learning-based, functional bias-based, clustering-based, statistics model-based, and network-based strategies. This application allows users to specify customized operations when calling driver genes, and provides solid statistical evaluations and interpretable visualizations on the integration results. C is implemented in Python and is freely available for public use at http://drivergene.rwebox.com/c3.

Se propone, optimizar el proceso actual de búsqueda a través de la implementación de un servidor de terminología médica utilizando servicios web y una librería de motor de búsqueda de texto. Método: Se propone una arquitectura cliente - servidor de tres capas (también conocida como arquitectura multi-nivel), organizada de la siguiente manera: capa de presentación, de negocios y capa de datos. Se eligió utilizar este patrón por la independencia entre las capas y la clara definición de cada una de ellas en cuanto al objetivo que persigue. El servidor de terminología se encuentra representado en la capa de negocios. Está compuesta por un conjunto de servicios web de tipo REST y una librería de motor de búsqueda de texto, denominada Apache Lucene. Experimentos y Resultados: Fueron realizados dos experimentos acordes a los objetivos específicos mencionados anteriormente. El servidor de terminología implementado responde hasta 19 veces más rápido que el proceso actual de búsqueda y resultó ser bastante competitivo contra Metamorphosys. Si bien ambas herramientas presentan un tiempo de respuesta promedio similar, el servidor de terminología es hasta 5 veces más rápido que Metamorphosys en sus valores atípicos. Conclusiones: El servidor de terminología implementado reduce el tiempo de búsqueda del proceso actual siendo más rápido que el proceso actual de búsqueda. Finalmente, ante la comparación del servidor implementado contra el buscador Metamorphosys, el servidor implementado se muestra competitivo contra dicho buscador ya que tienen tiempos de respuesta similares(AU)

Introduction: In the Hospital Clínicas of Paraguay, the current process of searching for terminologies for medical coding in health standards takes a long time since it is done manually. It is proposed to optimize the current search process through the implementation of a medical terminology server using web services and a text search engine library. Method: Three layer client-server architecture is proposed (also known as multilevel architecture), organized as follows: presentation layer, business layer and data layer. The use of this pattern was due to its contribution to the independence between the layers and the clear definition of them in terms of the objective pursued. The terminology server is represented in the business layer. It is composed of a set of REST web services and a text search engine library, called Apache Lucene. Experiments and Results: Two experiments were carried out according to the objective mentioned above. The implemented terminology server responds up to 19 times faster than the current search process and proved to be quite competitive against Metamorphosys. While both tools have a similar average response time, the terminology server is up to 5 times faster than Metamorphosys in their outliers. Conclusions: The terminology server implemented reduces the search time of the current process being faster than the current search process. Finally, before the comparison of the server implemented against the Metamorphosys search engine, the implemented server is competitive since they have similar response times(AU).

A gestão penitenciária na qualidade de vida profissional do servidor penitenciário / A prison management in higher technical professional quality of life penitentiary server

O presente artigo tem por objetivo refletir sobre os possíveis fatores de risco no trabalho do Servidor Penitenciário, no tocante ao tratamento penal e as perspectivas da gestão penitenciária para qualidade de vida profissional do trabalhador. O espaço de trabalho onde o Servidor Penitenciário desenvolve suas atividades no tratamento penal pode tornar-se um ambiente vulnerável aos mais diversos sintomas que possam afetar a sua saúde e a qualidade de vida. O universo penitenciário por sua natureza pode apresentar um ambiente de hostilidades, sofrimento humano, conflitos interpessoais e impactos dos limites institucionais para o exercício profissional, por se tratar de uma instituição total, onde a natureza das suas características podem afetar a todos que convivem neste universo. A gestão das instituições penais quase sempre está voltada para as demandas relativas à segurança e disciplina penitenciária. Para realização do estudo, utilizou-se como método a revisão de literatura sobre a temática, além de busca de artigos em sites, como google acadêmico, BVS-Bireme, MEDLINE, PubMed entre outros. Os resultados encontrados ressaltam para o papel da gestão penitenciária na garantia de espaços de trabalho que promovam saúde e reduzam riscos psicossociais e vulnerabilidades no trabalho penitenciário, visto que a saúde e a qualidade de vida do trabalhador penitenciário não dependem exclusivamente da sua condição como indivíduo ou mesmo das condições desfavoráveis disponibilizadas pela instituição. Depende, sim, de um jogo movimentado na relação e na forma como um e outro fator integram o espaço organizacional. (AU)

This article aims to reflect on the possible risk factors in the work of Penitentiary Server criminal treatment and prospects of prison management to professional quality of life of the prison technical worker defining the concept of quality of working life. The work space where the TSP develops its activities in the criminal treatment can become an environment vulnerable to the most diverse symptoms that can affect its health and the quality of life. The prison universe by their nature can present a hostility environment, human suffering, interpersonal conflicts and impacts of institutional boundaries for professional practice because it is a total institution, where the nature of its characteristics can affect all who live in this universe. The penal institutions management is almost always concerned with demands for security and penitentiary discipline. To carry out the study, a review of the literature on the subject was used as a method, as well as search for articles on websites, with academic google, BVS-Bireme, MEDLINE, PubMed and others. The results found highlight the role of prison management in guaranteeing work spaces that promote health and reduce psychosocial risks and vulnerabilities in penitentiary work, since the health and quality of life of the penitentiary worker do not depend exclusively on his condition as an individual or even from unfavorable conditions provided by the institution. It depends, rather, on a bustling game in the relationship and in the way one and another factor integrate the organizational space. (AU)
