Data-driven and interpretable machine-learning modeling to explore the fine-scale environmental determinants of malaria vectors biting rates in rural Burkina Faso.

Parasites & vectors
BACKGROUND: Improving the knowledge and understanding of the environmental determinants of malaria vector abundance at fine spatiotemporal scales is essential to design locally tailored vector control intervention. This work is aimed at exploring the...

Use of artificial intelligence on Electroencephalogram (EEG) waveforms to predict failure in early school grades in children from a rural cohort in Pakistan.

PloS one
Universal primary education is critical for individual academic growth and overall adult productivity of nations. Estimates indicate that 25% of 59 million primary age out of school children drop out and early grade failure is one of the factors. An ...

Mapping and Discriminating Rural Settlements Using Gaofen-2 Images and a Fully Convolutional Network.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
New ongoing rural construction has resulted in an extensive mixture of new settlements with old ones in the rural areas of China. Understanding the spatial characteristic of these rural settlements is of crucial importance as it provides essential in...

Machine-learned modeling of PM exposures in rural Lao PDR.

The Science of the total environment
This study presents a machine-learning-enhanced method of modeling PM personal exposures in a data-scarce, rural, solid fuel use context. Data collected during a cookstove (Africa Clean Energy (ACE)-1 solar-battery-powered stove) intervention program...

Serum vitamin D deficiency and vitamin D receptor gene polymorphism are associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease in a Chinese rural population.

Nutrition research (New York, N.Y.)
Several studies have reported a conflicting association between vitamin D deficiency, vitamin D receptor (VDR) polymorphism, and the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). We hypothesized that serum 25(OH)D concentrations and single nucleotide polymor...

Management practices associated with strongylid parasite prevalence on horse farms in rural counties of Kentucky.

Veterinary parasitology, regional studies and reports
Anthelmintic resistance among cyathostomin parasites is a wide-spread problem. The parasite control guidelines written by the American Association of Equine Practitioners (AAEP) encourages the preservation of anthelmintic efficacy by reducing treatme...

Egg Excretion does not Increase after Exercise: Implications for Diagnostic Testing.

The American journal of tropical medicine and hygiene
Children are frequently invited to exercise before micturition, as it is believed that this activity will result in higher egg excretion, and hence, increases sensitivity of microscopic diagnoses. However, the evidence of this recommendation is scan...

Evaluating the usability of an interactive, bi-lingual, touchscreen-enabled breastfeeding educational programme: application of Nielson's heuristics.

Journal of innovation in health informatics
The study purpose was to conduct heuristic evaluation of an interactive, bilingual touchscreen-enabled breastfeeding educational programme for Hispanic women living in rural settings in Nebraska. Three raters conducted the evaluation during May 2013 ...
