Applying Machine Learning and Model-Driven Approach for the Identification and Diagnosis of Covid-19

Ubiquitous environments are not fixed in time. Entities are constantly evolving;they are dynamic. Ubiquitous applications therefore have a strong need to adapt during their execution and react to the context changes, and developing ubiquitous applications is still complex. The use of the separation of needs and model-driven engineering present the promising solutions adopted in this approach to resolve this complexity. The authors thought that the best way to improve efficiency was to make these models intelligent. That's why they decided to propose an architecture combining machine learning with the domain of modeling. In this article, a novel tool is proposed for the design of ubiquitous applications, associated with a graphical modeling editor with a drag-drop palette, which will allow to instantiate in a graphical way in order to obtain platform independent model, which will be transformed into platform specific model using Acceleo language. The validity of the proposed framework has been demonstrated via a case study of COVID-19. © 2023 IGI Global. All rights reserved.

AC317 The Plant Phenome Journal editorial board

An initial quality control check was completed for the journal and magazine content and a check of the books content is currently under way. Authors make edits directly to the HTML article file, which cuts down time to publication and reduces errors introduced during typesetting. [...]far we've received positive response and hope to expand this program to additional titles. [...]the group reviewed mismatched guidelines and adopted a standardized Scientific Misconduct Statement for all 13 journals to create uniformity across the journal collection. The JIF is one tool used to evaluate a journal's relative importance when compared with other journals in the same study area.

Labouring the news: Management control strategies and work intensification in the digital newsroom

Using a labour process lens, this research focuses on the structured antagonism that characterises the employment relationship. This article seeks to further our understanding of how news organisations employ control strategies to extract the labour power of journalists and achieve organisational objectives, and we pay particular attention to the role of editors in this regard. We also explore the responses of journalists as workers to managerial control which can include accommodation, resistance, compliance, or consent. The findings are based on an empirical case study of a local newspaper incorporating interviews with editors and journalists. The case study reveals how journalists' work intensified with the turn to digital content, and because of reduced staffing since COVID-19, but editors ensured high levels of productivity through distribution of digital analytics and constant monitoring.

Issues discussed include illnesses more prevalent in children of color, such as asthma, sickle cell disease, and COVID-19;the difference in pain managementfor White children versus children of color;and how bias impacts mental health issues in children of color.

Editors' Note

Returning to the world prior to March 2020, though, is perhaps more of a return to a status quo in which those occupying positions of privilege and power—particularly in the Global North—shift focus back to the conventional news cycle. Aside from early reporting on COVID-19, former President Donald Trump's first impeachment trial and reactions to the United States' assassination mission of Qasem Soleimani dominated headlines in early 2020. [...]we cannot return to holding that level of unconcern for similar violence in the United States towards historically marginalized communities like Black and Indigenous People of Color.

A Note from the Editor

Reading and responding to manuscripts is a labor of love, a gift of time and energy. Bringardner grounds his love for and hope in the organization with a clear-eyed assessment of ways in which ATHE needs to grow. Acting as director and dramaturg (respectively) for their university's production of this season staple, Nees and Gearhart model how to bring twenty-first-century awareness to a tricky tale of magically enabled consent violations. Returning to the status quo ante risks reinstalling those "normal” exclusions as our standard operating procedure.

Communicable (Literature and Medicine 2013–2018)

People joke about "the before times," but they're not wrong. 2020 is an especially distorting lens, in part I think because things too easily relegated to peripheral vision came suddenly into shockingly clear focus: medical things, sociopolitical things, the fact of human health as an interconnected biocultural compound. Since 2020, surely no one can argue that it's possible to understand health without thinking about history and justice, or to understand disease without thinking about economics and rhetoric. Disease spread by invisible entities through a community or across the globe, exacerbated by social structures, controlled (or not) through public health measures, and made sense of (or not) by cultural rhetorics. Because infection is of course always metaphorical: something has an effect on something else by entering it, by infiltrating or invading it, or instilling itself into it. (Perhaps the positive antonym would be inspires, which we don't use for microbes, though it certainly implies inhalation?) In any case, literature-and-medicine always has in it that tension between invisible pathogens and communicable ideas. Health and suffering are unjustly distributed;health care is practiced within powerfully oppressive social structures;public health is a contradiction in terms when those structures go unquestioned, or when those who speak for it use their words less effectually than they might.

Finger on the Pulse of Lifestyle Coverage: Redefining What It Means to be a City/Regional Magazine in the Time of COVID-19

This study examines what city/regional magazines across the US did to ensure their longevity while the activities in those represented cities were canceled and many businesses closed for more than a year because of COVID. This study also explores what role the city/regional magazine played in the recovery measures of the city as COVID became more manageable. Finally, this study uncovers phenomena that occurred as the role of city/regional magazines changed in the wake of the pandemic. © 2023 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.

Chasing Societal Impact, Not Impact Factor: A Reflection as Outgoing Editor

Je me réjouis de l'occasion qui m'a été donnée d'etre, depuis janvier 2019, le rédacteur en chef de la revue Canadian Psychology / Psychologie canadienne. Aux côtés de mon équipe de rédaction formée des professeurs Sharpe, Godbout et Greenman, j'ai mis un point d'honneur, au cours des quatre dernieres années, a mettre en valeur l' excellent travail des scientifiques du domaine de la psychologie et, ce faisant, a renforcer la pertinence de notre profession au regard des enjeux critiques de la société. Nous avons réalisé de grands progres en vue de réaffirmer l' engagement de la revue a publier dans tous les domaines touchant a la psychologie, a établir un cadre de publication équitable et inclusif, et a promouvoir la formation ainsi que le mentorat d'un bout a l'autre du processus de publication. Dans cet éditorial, je réfléchis aux progres accomplis en vue de matérialiser la vision rajeunie du journal, soit d'avoir une incidence sociale plus grande et d'etre un moteur de « Pintérét public ». Nous avons notamment lancé notre Programme de mentorat en evaluation d'articles pour les étudiants et les étudiantes diplômés, publié cinq numéros spéciaux et avons vu deux de nos articles faire partie du top 10 des articles de l'American Psychological Association publiés en 2021 les plus téléchargés.Alternate :Since January 2019, it has been such a pleasure to be the editor of Canadian Psychology /Psychologie canadienne. Along with my editorial team, Professors Sharpe, Godbout, and Greenman, I have taken great pride over these past 4 years in showcasing the excellent work of psychological scientists and, by doing so, consolidating the relevance of our profession to society's critical questions. We made great strides in reaffirming the journal's commitment to publishing in all areas of psychological inquiry, to an equitable and inclusive publishing framework, and to promoting training and mentoring through the publication process. In this editorial, I reflect on our progress in realizing the journal's rejuvenated vision of having a wider societal impact and being an engine of the "public good," including launching our Graduate Student Reviewer Mentorship Program, creating five special issues, and having two articles in the top 10 downloads of all American Psychological Association journal articles published in 2021.

Visual Description of Digital IT Consulting Services Using DITCOS-DN: Proposal and Evaluation of a Graphical Editor

The digital transformation of the IT consulting domain recently gained momentum due to the Covid-19 pandemic. However, the range of IT consulting services that are fully digital is still very limited. Plus, there are no standardized and established methods for describing digital IT consulting services, nor there is any suitable tooling for digital IT consulting service provisioning. The present work aims to reduce this gap by contributing to establishing a well-defined approach to formally describing digital IT consulting services that could possibly be a candidate for standardization. Building upon (i) the ontology DITCOS-O, which provides the semantic basis for our approach, and (ii) the YAML-based description notation DITCOS-DN, which we leverage to describe digital IT consulting service models, we propose a graphical, web-based editor (called DITCOS-ModEd) to simplify service model maintenance. Following a design science based research process, we developed a prototype and empirically evaluated its applicability with the help of IT consultants. This first evaluation allowed us to identify some limitations and to plan specific improvements, both to the underlying artifacts DITCOS-O and DITCOS-DN, as well as to DITCOS-ModEd itself. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

Reflections on the theme issue outcomes: what are the growth drivers for tourism in the Middle East?

In response to expressions of interest from prospective contributors, we answered questions about the scope, timelines and the nature of the peer review process that we had designed for our theme issue. Additionally, articles covering functional areas such as technology and marketing provide actionable insights for managers in this geographical context. About the Theme Editors: Dr Mohit Vij is an associate professor in the Department of Business Administration at Liwa College of Technology, United Arab Emirates. With more than two decades of experience, he is an expert in developing and planning academic and training programs and has led research and consultancy projects for several Destination Management Organizations (DMOs).

Proceedings of the Society for the Promotion of Roman Studies 2019–2020

Since the last AGM, Dr Lynn Pitts has retired from her role as Publications Officer. In the autumn, the Society had held a number of events, including a conference on Germanicus, a book launch for Peter Wiseman's House of Augustus and its annual conference at the British Museum with the Association for Roman Archaeology on ‘Roman Temples in Britain and Gaul: Recent Discoveries and Interpretations'. Since Christmas, before the COVID-19 pandemic put a stop to face-to-face events, the Society was pleased to welcome Professor Mireille Corbier to deliver the M.V. Taylor Lecture, and in March (just before the lockdown) we held a joint event with the Hellenic Society on the topic of ‘Animals in the Ancient World', with Malcolm Heath, Emily Kneebone and John Pearce. Without these two exceptional items, the Society's cash flow would have been a negative £43,000 rather than a positive £78,000. [...]the net gain on our investments, managed by Newton Investment Management, was £219,000 in 2019 (a gross return of 19%).

TENNESSEE ACADEMY OF SCIENCE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING 20 November 2020

President Elect and 2020 Program Chairperson-Amy Thompson reported Maryam Farsian from Volunteer State Community College agreed to serve as member-at-large. 114 s were submitted for the November 2020 130th Meeting, and gratitude was expressed for virtual meetings held through-out the summer to help plan the event. Steve Murphree reported member growth of an additional 57 members (with 166 regular, 120 life time, 120 student, 13 emeritus, 4 supporting, 4 sustaining, 17 high school student memberships), steady renewals despite the COVID-19 pandem-ic. income exceeding expenses, a continued shift to online payment formats that diminished the work as treasurer, but that electronic reports from PayPal and Square (both collect fees) were not yet sufficient to account for which individuals renewed their memberships. Collegiate Division Director-Fred Matthews reported that all three Collegiate Division meetings scheduled for April 2020 were canceled due to COVID-19 precautionary concerns. Since many universities pivoted to online and virtual modalities of teaching, research mentors and students were struggling to conduct effective research. REPORTS FROM COMMITTEES Local Arrangements Committee Chairpersons-Gary Henson and Richard Ignace of East Tennessee State University, hosts of the 2020 Annual meeting, reported they believed the Zoom sessions would support the meeting the following day as they had test driven the process in anticipation of the event.
