Can AI Improve Imaging Diagnostics?

The 2016 Cochrane Review identified Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Transvaginal Ultrasound scans (TVUS) as the most diagnostic non-invasive test for endometriosis. This led to IMAGENDO, which uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) to model digital data from these two imaging modalities to improve the accuracy of endometriosis non-invasive diagnostics. The IMAGENDO team have developed a novel, award winning, multimodal approach to improve the sensitivity and specificity of endometriosis imaging. The talk will describe some of the methods used, the impact AI has had on diagnostic accuracy and the challenges faced and yet to be overcome. The likely role of AI in future endometriosis diagnostics will be speculated upon.

And the award goes to…the Matthew Effect: Examining external status as a predictor of productivity and opportunity.

It has been suggested that increased status that comes from being an award winner can generate enduring advantages that compound over one's career via the Matthew Effect. However, research in this area has yielded conflicting results and has been unable to isolate the unique effect of status on career outcomes from the positive endogenous characteristics of award winners. In the current research, we attempt to address previous research limitations and examine if winning an award is associated with career outcomes (i.e., opportunities and productivity) irrespective of individual productivity levels prior to receiving an award. We examined our research questions using observational data of National Hockey League (NHL) league championship winners and non-winners (N = 427). By using a team award and several different analytic approaches we were able to examine the unique effects of affiliation-based external status, generated from an award win, on career outcomes. Our results generally show support for the Matthew Effect and suggest that affiliation-based external status, achieved by an award win, provides access to increased opportunities, which ultimately results in more productivity. We discuss the importance of incorporating opportunity and investigating its role in the cumulative advantage process and implications of the results.

Whiteness Makes the Laughs Possible: A Sitcom’s Representations of Sexual Violence

The award winning, Netflix comedy Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt (2015–2019) broke new ground in representations of sexual violence. Recalibrating the energies of the sitcom to address issues of trauma, memory and witnessing, Unbreakable has helped craft a new esthetic of the genre. The four-season series replicates key features of the historical captivity narrative and the contemporaneous #MeToo movement. Ignoring the slave narrative of captivity and dispossession allows the series to sidestep the racialized dimensions of sexual assault. The narrative’s resolute focus on white survivors permits the series to mobilize trauma for comedic effect.

Classic Experiments in Education Technology

Classic experiments in Biomedicine are presented that inspire students to enthusiastically continue in this field, written by a U.S. Presidential Award winning, American Association for the Advancement of Science Fellow. Four experiments are selected: the structure of DNA, the structure of the cell membrane, sugars in cell adhesion, and unconventional dealing with a deadly cancer problem. Papers, written mostly by students, from the author’s lab are also included that support the concept that students will enter a science research field if they are introduced to it by easy to read, enjoyable, papers. Some of the author’s papers strongly support one of the Classics presented, the role of sugars in cell adhesion. Using these Classics to teach students at all levels is presented, as the author has used them for decades, helping him win a US Presidential Award for Mentoring and supporting his election as Fellow, American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) (Note 1). This approach helps students to understand the personalities involved in great discoveries, making them unforgettable.

A journey following childbirth trauma

Back in 2015 I gave birth to my first child and had a complicated birth and postnatal experience. I suffered birth trauma and I was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) when my baby was eight months old. Whilst I mostly dealt with the mental and physical difficulties of PTSD with therapy, what I was not prepared for nor do I think I’ll fully get over, was the effect the investigation report into my birth had on my mental well-being. Writing became part of my therapy. In fact, my therapist prescribed it as ‘homework’ at the time. I had not written creatively prior to this and I didn’t understand how writing would benefit my well-being positively. What I learned along the course of my therapy was the power the written word has in healing a hurt and damaged soul. I maintained a blog and could see my healing progress as time moved on. Therapy for me has since finished but I still try to write when I can. I do this often around my child’s birthday as I struggle most with memories from the time of birth. I write when I feel emotionally overwhelmed and I feel a release in this process. Whilst I do not think my pieces are award winning, each holds a period of time when my emotions ran high and to me, they have become precious notes capturing the rawness unique to my experiences and where others may also find some comfort in that they’re not alone. I will share some of these pieces with you. Dedicated to anyone who has suffered birth trauma or from the effects of poor communication and lack of acknowledgement around psychological harm, this is for you.

Diversity in Monographs: Selectors, Acquisitions, Publishers, and Vendors

In 2020 the University of Kansas Libraries began a year-long diversity audit of the circulating monograph collection. The study, which utilized the checklist method evaluated the Libraries’ holdings based on a curated list of award winning and nominated titles. In addition to determining if specific titles were part of the collection, the study also sought to learn how these books were acquired. The study found that the library owned 60% of the 6,671 titles checked and of those with a known acquisitions method, 59% came via an approval plan. Titles and publishers not profiled by GOBI were significantly less likely to be in the collection as they were not included in the approval plan or highlighted by a slip notification. The Libraries’ reliance on GOBI and efficient and streamlined selection and acquisition processes has resulted in a less diverse collection.

Sahitya Akademi Award Winning ‘Gopalla Gramam’ - An Information Repository

The purpose of this article is to explore the disappearing uniqueness in Rajanarayana's Sahitya Academy Award-winning novel Gopalla Gramam. It is said to be a novel. But there is no complete storytelling in this novel that is unique to a novel. So no specific characters were found. There is no continuous sequel in the storytelling process. However, it has acquired the unique status that a novel deserves. A lot of people exist in this. A lot of incidents do happen. The novel is considered to be a wonderful work that contains a lot of information and traces of time. The characters in this novel have every kind of relevance. The novel also explores the lifestyles and customs of different types of people, both socially and individually. It has also recorded social issues. Many colloquialisms that have been in circulation at that time are recorded. On the whole, the purpose of this article is to explore the availability of Ki Ra’s ‘Gopalla Gramam’ as an information repository.

Quantifying Award Network and Career Development in the Movie Industry

In show business, awards are conferred to persons and films to provide incentives to performers’ future career development through periodic film festivals and events. In this work, we focused on exploring the growth and dynamics of the film award system, the structure of the award network, and the relationships between historical performance, collaborations, and future career success of performers in the movie industry. We collected data from IMDb, which covers more than 3.5K movie events for 520K individuals with their award-winning and career records for over 90 years. By using network analysis and regression models, we find several novel results. At first, we found the exponential proliferation of awards across all genres of films and all professions of individuals and the uneven distribution of the number of awards in careers across time. More than 30% of the performers have won multiple awards. Second, we built an award network to reveal the interlocks between awards based on multiple award-winning phenomena. We found that for prestigious awards, 47% of the linkages were over-representative than the expectations from the null model. Furthermore, the performers’ collaboration network was highly clustered, exhibiting a high propensity of linkages between awarded performers. Lastly, our regression models revealed that multiple factors were related to performers’ early career success and award winning. Specifically, we showed that along with the performers’ historical achievements, their collaborators serve an important role in award winning after being nominated, with the scope and depth of the impact differing in the awards’ prestige. This work has strong implications for the harmonious dynamics of the movie industry and the career development of performers.
