ABSTRACT
COVID-19 which has hit almost the whole world, including Indonesia, which has become an epidemic in early 2020. Many cities and districts have enforced to comply with health protocols by using masks. All cities and regencies in South Sumatra are also required to follow health protocols by wearing masks and maintaining distance. So that the Mask Detection System program is a way to overcome public awareness, especially Bina Darma University that the importance of using masks today. In the case of making this mask detection system program using Python and using the Haar Cascade Algorithm. From experiments using the Haar Cascade method, the results show that this system can detect people who use masks and do not use masks. This test is also done by inputting images or videos. Futhermore, in testing this detection system, the approximate distance and angle also need to be considered because it will be very influential. © 2022 IEEE.
ABSTRACT
Objectives: To audit the transparent and open science standards of health and medical sciences journal policies and explore the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Design: Repeat cross-sectional study. Setting: 19 journals listed in Google Scholar's Top Publications for health and medical sciences. Participants: Blood, Cell, Circulation, European Heart Journal, Gastroenterology, Journal of Clinical Oncology, Journal of the American College of Cardiology, Nature Genetics, Nature Medicine, Nature Neuroscience, Neuron, PLoS ONE, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Science Translational Medicine, The British Medical Journal, The Journal of the American Medical Association, The Lancet, The Lancet Oncology, and The New England Journal of Medicine. Main outcome measures: We used the Transparency and Openness Promotion (TOP) guideline and the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) requirements for disclosing conflicts of interest (COIs) to evaluate journals standards. Results: TOP scores slightly improved during the COVID-19 pandemic, from a median of 5 (IQR: 2-12.5) out of a possible 24 points in February 2020 to 7 (IQR: 4-12) in May 2021, but overall, scores were very low at both time points. Journal policies scored highest for their adherence to data transparency and scored lowest for preregistration of study protocols and analysis plans and the submission of replication studies. Most journals fulfilled all ICMJE provisions for reporting COIs before (84%; n = 16) and during (95%; n = 18) the COVID-19 pandemic. Conclusions: The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of practising open science. However, requirements for open science practices in audited policies were overall low, which may impede progress in health and medical research. As key stakeholders in disseminating research, journals should promote a research culture of greater transparency and more robust open science practices.
ABSTRACT
Cross-disciplinary openness and transparency of research plays an important role in scientific progress. We evaluated open-science related policies of 19 high ranking health and medical journals before (February 2020) and during (May 2021) the COVID-19 pandemic. The Transparency and Openness Promotion (TOP) guideline and the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) requirements for disclosing conflicts of interest (COIs) were used to audit journal policies. TOP scores slightly improved during the COVID-19 pandemic, from a median of 5 (IQR: 2-12.5) out of a possible 24 points in February 2020 to 7 (IQR: 4-12) in May 2021. Most journals fulfilled all ICMJE provisions for reporting COIs before (84%; n=16) and during (95%; n=18) the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of practising open science, however adherence to open science standards in audited policies was low overall, which may reduce progress in health and medical research.
