Njord: a fishing trawler dataset
Fish is one of the main sources of food worldwide. The commercial
fishing industry has a lot of different aspects to consider, ranging
from sustainability to reporting. The complexity of the domain also
attracts a lot of research from different fields like marine biology,
fishery sciences, cybernetics, and computer science. In computer science, detection of fishing vessels via for example remote sensing and
classification of fish from images or videos using machine learning
or other analysis methods attracts growing attention. Surprisingly,
little work has been done that considers what is happening on
board the fishing vessels. On the deck of the boats, a lot of data and
important information are generated with potential applications,
such as automatic detection of accidents or automatic reporting of
fish caught. This paper presents Njord, a fishing trawler dataset
consisting of surveillance videos from a modern off-shore fishing
trawler at sea. The main goal of this dataset is to show the potential
and possibilities that analysis of such data can provide. In addition to the data, we provide a baseline analysis and discuss several
possible research questions this dataset could help answer
Efficacy of FODMAP Elimination and Subsequent Blinded Placebo-Controlled Provocations in a Randomised Controlled Study in Patients with Ulcerative Colitis in Remission and Symptoms of Irritable Bowel Syndrome:A Feasibility Study
Background: Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) may be intolerant to fermentable carbohydrates (FODMAPs). The aim of this study was to test the feasibility of eliminating and subsequently reintroducing FODMAPs in patients with IBS symptoms as part of the IBD manifestation and to compare the severity of IBS symptoms and pain, bloating and quality of life (QoL). Methods: An eight-week randomised open-label FODMAP elimination with double-blinded, crossover provocations of FODMAP and placebo. Diet patients were on a low-FODMAP diet for eight weeks with blinded two-week provocations after two and six weeks. Questionnaires, blood and stool samples were collected. Results: Patient enrolment was challenging. Nineteen participants were included in the study. Eliminating low FODMAP for two weeks resulted in significant decreases in pain and bloating scores (p 0.05). Conclusions: The results document the possibility of performing a randomised controlled study following the gold standard for testing food intolerance with blinding of the Low FODMAP diet. Recruitment of participants was challenging
