Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEnhancing Disaster Resilience through Spatial Planning Strategies, a Case Study of Bono Region, GhanaAmponsah Maxwell, Nandi Nandi, Maryani EnokThe adverse impact of climate change has necessitated the global community to leverage spatial planning to curb the negative impacts of such incidents. Disasters continue to occur in human settlements, which makes it necessary to develop resilience through spatial planning strategies. The research question underpinning this study is, how can disaster resilience be improved through spatial planning strategies? Reducing the … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 1 · 30 Dec 2024 · 5,016 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Permutation Test for Comparing Two Correlated Receiver Operating Characteristic CurvesOkeh Uchechukwu Marius, Onyeagu SidneyThe area under the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) is a summary measure when comparing two ROC curves. However, this summary measure is less informative when two ROC curves cross and have the same AUCs. In order to detect differences between ROC curves and to be able to tackle the problem of exchangeability of the labels between two diagnostic … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 24 May 2020 · 8,132 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFunctional Non-Inferiority Hypothesis Testing for Longitudinal DataArsène Brunelle Sandie, Anthony Wanjoya, Jules Brice Tchatchueng-MbouguaThe study pattern of non-inferiority trials is increasingly used to show the non-inferiority of new health intervention. Although in such studies the data are longitudinally collected (data held over a period of time), the conclusion of these non-inferiority trials is based on data observed at a specific time during the study period (usually at the end of the study period). … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 29 Aug 2019 · 6,936 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGlobal Test for Superiority and Non-Inferiority Trials with Functional Endpoints DataArsene Brunelle Sandie, Jules Brice Tchatchueng-Mbougua, Anthony WanjoyaThe global two-sided test for functional means difference got much attention in the literary works. While the global one-sided test for functional means difference has not been studied. However, that could have some applications and implications for longitudinal trials or trials with functional data outcomes. This work introduced superiority and noninferiority hypothesis tests for functional data outcomes, which were viewed … …Current Research in Biostatistics, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 8 Jul 2019 · 12,662 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparing Approaches for Quality Evaluation of Software Engineering Experiments: An Empirical Study on Software Product Line ExperimentsViviane R. Furtado, Henrique Vignando, Victor França, Edson OliveiraJrThe Software Engineering (SE) research area must provide results of a certain quality for the sake of value. High quality research results may ensure experience and knowledge, which are essential for the technology to be transferred to the industry. One of the means to obtain such quality results is experimentation. Experimentation is a scientific method that aims to provide evidence … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 15, Issue 10 · 25 Apr 2019 · 7,752 accessesView PDF Cite

Letters to the EditorOpen accessIn the abstractIs Hydroxychloroquine a Safe and Effective Choice for Covid-19 ProphylaxisRodrigo Moisés de Almeida-Leite, Tais Rondello Bonatti, Carolina Rodrigues Ponzoni et al.The authors speculate about the possibility of Hydroxychloroquine as Covid-19 Phrophylaxis in the dose of 400 mg per week. The authors compared the experience of Malaria phrophylaxis in this dose, with acceptable safety profile. Also, we compared in vitro susceptibility of SARS-Cov-2 with that of Plasmodium falciparum.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVelocity of Heart Rate Recovery in Post-Exercise Under Different Protocols of Active RecoveryMaria Angela Magalhaes De Queiroz Carreira, Felipe Montes Pena, Mauricio B.F. Rachid et al.Abnormalities in the modulation of parasympathetic activity have been identified as a possible pathophysiological link with the association between decreases in heart rate recovery after exercise test. Hypothesis: To investigate if the application of different protocols of active recovery promotes difference in reducing Heart Rate (HR) in Post-Exercise (PE). This was a prospective, randomized trial of patients undergoing Exercise Testing … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 12 Nov 2013 · 7,007 accessesView PDF Cite
