Attribute Reduction for Credit Evaluation using Rough Set Approach

Generation of an Integrated Model is an important technique in the research area. It is a powerful technique to improve the accuracy of classifiers. This approach has been applied to different types of real time data. The unprocessed data leads to give wrong results by using some of the machine learning techniques. For generation of an integrated model attribute reduction and re-sampling technique is necessary. For attribute reduction Rough set is the best approach as it requires less execution time, high Interpretability, high reduction rate and high accurac

Rule based Model for Credit Evaluation using Rough Set Approach

Credit plays an important role in the economy. Credit Evaluation of any potential credit application has remained a challenge for banks all over the world till today. Credit evaluation can be defined as a technique that helps lenders to decide whether to grant credit to consumers or not. Its increasing importance can be seen from the growing popularity and application of credit scoring. It is mandatory not only to construct effective credit scoring models to help improve the bottom-line of credit providers, but also to design rule based system for effective credit evaluation system. This paper approaches the use of rough set technique to generate rule based system for credit scoring model

Autism spectrum disorder, essential fatty acids and infant feeding

 Dr Brown’s research identified the importance of breastfeeding duration and essential fatty acids in children. Her research found that children who were breastfed for a longer duration in infancy were significantly less likely to have a diagnosis of autism or show signs of a fatty acid deficiency

Interventions to reduce maternal mortality in developing countries: a systematic synthesis of evidence

Background: Every year 287,000 women die from pregnancy related complications. Methods: Systematic reviews of interventions to reduce maternal mortality in developing countries with meta-analysis or meta-synthesis where appropriate. Results: Participatory learning and actions cycles with women’s groups significantly reduce maternal and neonatal mortality, training and supporting TBAs also reduces perinatal mortality. Clinical officers performing caesareans section do not seem to cause any more maternal or perinatal mortalities than doctors. Prophylactic antibiotics reduce infectious morbidity in surgical abortion, yet the effect on miscarriage surgery is unclear. Cell salvage in ectopic pregnancy and caesarean section appear to be a safe and effective alternative in the absence of homologous transfusion. Motivational interviews may have potential to improve contraceptive use short term. Symphysiotomy may be a safe alternative to caesarean section. The anti-shock garment may improve outcomes when used in addition to standard obstetric haemorrhage management. Potential solutions to emergency transport for pregnant women include motorcycle ambulance programmes, collaboration with local minibus taxis services, and community education and insurance schemes. Conclusion: Several interventions reviewed in this thesis can be utilised to aid reduction in maternal mortality, however the level of evidence available within each review varies, some allowing firm inferences with others more tentative

Textbook of Patient Safety and Clinical Risk Management

Implementing safety practices in healthcare saves lives and improves the quality of care: it is therefore vital to apply good clinical practices, such as the WHO surgical checklist, to adopt the most appropriate measures for the prevention of assistance-related risks, and to identify the potential ones using tools such as reporting & learning systems. The culture of safety in the care environment and of human factors influencing it should be developed from the beginning of medical studies and in the first years of professional practice, in order to have the maximum impact on clinicians' and nurses' behavior. Medical errors tend to vary with the level of proficiency and experience, and this must be taken into account in adverse events prevention. Human factors assume a decisive importance in resilient organizations, and an understanding of risk control and containment is fundamental for all medical and surgical specialties. This open access book offers recommendations and examples of how to improve patient safety by changing practices, introducing organizational and technological innovations, and creating effective, patient-centered, timely, efficient, and equitable care systems, in order to spread the quality and patient safety culture among the new generation of healthcare professionals, and is intended for residents and young professionals in different clinical specialties
