Gender-based disparities and biases in science: An observational study of a virtual conference

Plos.org 

by Junhanlu Zhang, Rachel Torchet, Hanna Julienne

Success in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) remains influenced by race, gender, and socioeconomic status. Here, we focus on the impact of gender on question-asking behavior during the 2021 JOBIM virtual conference (Journées Ouvertes en Biologie et Mathématiques). We gathered quantitative and qualitative data including : demographic information, question asking motivations, live observations and interviews of participants.... Читать дальше...

Profiling leadership: Attitudes, knowledge and training in the biological sciences

Plos.org 

by James A. L. Brown

The development and practice of good leadership skills (distinct from management skills) enhances both an individual’s career development, and their organization. However, universities are known to present unique issues around the development, and practice, of good leadership. Good leadership skills should be considered essential for university staff who train (and mentor) staff or students. Currently, there is no clear evidence that staff in the biological (life) sciences... Читать дальше...

Severe mental illness and ophthalmic health: A linked administrative data study

Plos.org 

by Finola Ferry, Michael Rosato, Gerard Leavey

Background

While evidence has emerged highlighting the potential benefits of the eye as a window to the central nervous system, research on severe mental illness (SMI) and eye health is rare.

Aims

We examine the association of SMI with a range of ophthalmic health outcomes, and whether any relationship is modified by age.

Methods

We used linked administrative data from general practitioner (GP), hospital and ophthalmic records... Читать дальше...

Real-time scene classification of unmanned aerial vehicles remote sensing image based on Modified GhostNet

Plos.org 

by Xiaole Shen, Hongfeng Wang, Biyun Wei, Jinzhou Cao

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) play an important role in remote sensing image classification because they are capable of autonomously monitoring specific areas and analyzing images. The embedded platform and deep learning are used to classify UAV images in real-time. However, given the limited memory and computational resources, deploying deep learning networks on embedded devices and real-time analysis of ground scenes still has challenges in actual applications.

Less is more: Efficient behavioral context recognition using Dissimilarity-Based Query Strategy

Plos.org 

by Atia Akram, Asma Ahmad Farhan, Amna Basharat

With the advancement of ubiquitous computing, smartphone sensors are generating a vast amount of unlabeled data streams ubiquitously. This sensor data can potentially help to recognize various behavioral contexts in the natural environment. Accurate behavioral context recognition has a wide variety of applications in many domains like disease prevention and independent living. However, despite the availability of enormous amounts of sensor data... Читать дальше...

Risk of myocarditis and pericarditis after a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine booster and after COVID-19 in those with and without prior SARS-CoV-2 infection: A self-controlled case series analysis in England

Plos.org 

by Julia Stowe, Elizabeth Miller, Nick Andrews, Heather J. Whitaker

Background

An increased risk of myocarditis or pericarditis after priming with mRNA Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines has been shown but information on the risk post-booster is limited. With the now high prevalence of prior Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, we assessed the effect of prior infection on the vaccine risk and the risk from COVID-19 reinfection.

Methods and... Читать дальше...
