Variational Tobit Gaussian Process Regression

We propose a variational inference-based framework for training a Gaussian process regression model subject to censored observational data. Data censoring is a typical problem encountered during the data gathering procedure and requires specialized techniques to perform inference since the resulting probabilistic models are typically analytically intractable. In this article we exploit the variational sparse Gaussian process inducing variable framework and local variational methods to compute an analytically tractable lower bound on the true log marginal likelihood of the probabilistic model which can be used to perform Bayesian model training and inference. We demonstrate the proposed framework on synthetically-produced, noise-corrupted observational data, as well as on a real-world data set, subject to artificial censoring. The resulting predictions are comparable to existing methods to account for data censoring, but provides a significant reduction in computational cost.

Organization of construction accounting in the process of sustainable development

The aim of this study was to examine the perceptions of different professionals who are working in the construction industry about construction accounting, within the context of construction project management and development. A primarily quantitative research approach was used in this study. The researcher developed a bespoke survey questionnaire as the research instrument. This research instrument was then used in the collection of the data from the respondents. Considering that this study was implemented at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, the data gathering procedures had to be conducted virtually. The sample population used in the present study was composed of 100 individuals (N = 100). These 100 individu-als have already been working as accountants in a company that is operating in the construction industry for at least 1 year at the time of the study's implementa-tion. The participants' responses to the survey questionnaire were collected and then sorted using Microsoft Excel. The corresponding scores were then analyzed using descriptive statistical analysis. This was done by determining the frequency (percentage) of the participants who chose a specific answer to every question in the survey. In conclusion, if quality, efficiency, and profitability are a construction firm's main focus, then there is a good chance that the use of construction ac-counting or its integration in the construction project management and sustainable development process would be of great help. However, if the goal is to shorten the project delivery timeframe, or to improve the project completion rates (i.e., productivity), then chances are the construction firms should stay away from con-struction accounting, at least at the moment.

Addressing Problems in Reporting and Classification of Complications in Neurosurgery

Objective. The purpose of this study was to quantify the rate of adverse events associated to in neurosurgery interventions, to evaluate the differences in reporting of such events among different authors and reviews, and to find the reason behind the occurrence of this differences. Methods. A systematic literature review of scientific publications on existing classifications and reports of frequency on complications in neurosurgery was performed by analysing articles from international databases. Results and conclusion. This current overview is taking an outlook on the existing issues in the classification and reporting of complications in neurosurgery. Complications are common in neurosurgery. Because of nonuniform criteria, unstandardized data gathering procedures, and retrospective data collection, their reporting is inconsistent and varies considerably among authors and reviews. The best way to address this issue is by gathering prospective, multi-institutional outcomes data on neurosurgical patients. The data collection initiatives in the future should be using same terminology and be based on the same universally accepted criteria.

Has Job Satisfaction been Affected by Islamic Leadership, Remuneration, or Organizational Citizenship Behavior?

Numerous hospital managers are unsatisfied with their positions, limiting their capacity to enhance the quality of hospital services. Even though personnel demand better remuneration to enhance their performance, this may harm hospital impressions. By fostering a culture of Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) and enhancing employee job satisfaction, Islamic leadership styles may assist in achieving a balance between employee compensation expectations and organizational resources. This study aims to determine the impact of Islamic leadership and compensation on organizational citizenship behavior and job satisfaction at a private hospital.
