A confirmatory analysis of the knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions questionnaire for community-based surveillance of infectious diseases: a cross-sectional study in Malaysia

Objectives This study aimed to validate the psychometric properties of the recently developed knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions questionnaire for community-based surveillance of infectious diseases (KAP-CBS-ID questionnaire), using conf...

Colonic stenting as bridge to surgery versus emergency surgery for management of acute left-sided malignant colonic obstruction: a multicenter randomized trial (Stent-in 2 study)

Abstract Background Acute left-sided colonic obstruction is most often caused by malignancy and the surgical treatment is associated with a high mortality and morbidity rate. Moreover, these operated patients end up with a temporary or perm...

Study of Effect of Climate Change on Potential Evapotranspiration in Arid Areas Using Geostatistics (Case Study: Yazd Province)

In water systems, precipitation is considered as input and evaporation as the output of the system. Water availability can be estemated from the relationship between these two factors. Therefore, evapotranspiration is the most important fac...

Uncovering the spatiotemporal evolution of the service industry based on geo-big-data- a case study on the bath industry in China

Abstract The bath industry has multiple attributes, such as economic, health, and cultural communication. Therefore, exploring this industry's spatial pattern evolution is crucial to forming a healthy and balanced development model. Based o...

Estimating the Intensity Equations for Rain Intensity Frequency Curves (Mosul /Iraq)

The relationship between the rainfall intensity, duration, and frequency (IDF) is widely used in water resources engineering in designing hydraulic structures, such as culverts and sewage systems, and for reducing and controlling floods. In...

An Improved Supervised-LDA Text Model and Its Application

Supervised-Latent Dirichlet Distribution Allocation (s-LDA) model cannot handle the multi-label problem and s-LDA model is not correct distribution in the classification model.The Supervised Labled-LDA(sl-LDA) model is proposed by adding a ...
