However, many students struggle with mental health challenges like stress, anxiety, and depression during and even after the Covid-19 pandemic. These challenges, often stemming from academic, personal, social, or career concerns, negatively impact student learning and development. This underscores the need for robust support systems within higher education (HE). Artificial intelligence (AI) emerges as a promising field in educational technology, offering students readily available guidance on their path to well-being. This research, guided by the PRISMA Statement 2015, provides an overview of AI applications in higher education through a systematic review. From an initial pool of 270 publications identified between year 2021 and 2023, finally, 24 articles met our inclusion criteria and were analyzed for the final synthesis. This paper revealed three key areas where AI-based systems can support student well-being: i) AI’s Advancement and Potential: Exploring the evolving capabilities and promise of AI in this context. ii) Building Effective AI Systems: Identifying crucial components for successful AI-based well-being interventions. iii) Barriers to Implementing AI in Higher Education: Addressing ethical considerations and challenges unique to academic settings. The conclusions and the road ahead from this research is the critical need for ethical, well-designed AI-based systems to overcome existing barriers and deliver exceptional student well-being support services. By prioritizing student mental health and providing them with the necessary tools and resources, we can empower them to achieve their full potential and thrive in their academic endeavors.","PeriodicalId":507997,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Online and Biomedical Engineering (iJOE)","volume":"53 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140709849","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It uses remote imaging techniques to explore various segments of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, particularly the hard-to-reach small intestine, making it an effective alternative to traditional endoscopic techniques. However, physicians face a significant challenge when it comes to analyzing a large number of endoscopic images due to the effort and time required. It is therefore imperative to implement aided-diagnostic systems capable of automatically detecting suspicious areas for subsequent medical assessment. In this paper, we present a novel approach to identify gastrointestinal tract abnormalities from WCE images, with a particular focus on ulcerated areas. Our approach involves the use of the Median Robust Extended Local Binary Pattern (MRELBP) descriptor, which effectively overcomes the challenges faced when WCE image acquisition, such as variations in illumination and contrast, rotation, and noise. Using machine learning algorithms, we conducted experiments on the extensive Kvasir-Capsule dataset, and subsequently compared our results with recent relevant studies. Noteworthy is the fact that our approach achieved an accuracy of 97.04% with the SVM (RBF) classifier and 96.77% with the RF classifier.","PeriodicalId":507997,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Online and Biomedical Engineering (iJOE)","volume":"1 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140708684","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This proactive approach not only prevents further health deterioration but also fosters proper growth, minimizing the long-term consequences of malnutrition, such as stunted growth, impaired cognitive development, and increased vulnerability to diseases. Our work encompasses the creation of a new dataset comprising images of children in Healthy, Undernourished, Stunting, and Wasting categories. The core objective is to assess the deep learning model performance in classifying these children images. The experimentation is carried out by varying epochs, batch size, optimizers AdamW, Adamax, and RMSprop; and different values of the learning rate 0.1, 0.01, 0.001, and 0.0001 during model training. The model is trained on image dataset constructed by cleaning images generated by the stable diffusion model. The model is tested on randomly selected child images from websites. The model successfully classified two classes with 95% accuracy, 97.6% F1 score, precision 97.6%, and 97.6% recall with Adam optimizers, 0.0001 learning rate, and Batch size 4. Additionally, for the four-class categorization scenario, the study broadens the classification. The model achieved 88.87% accuracy, 90.3% recall, 90.2% precision, and an F1 score of 90% for four-class categorization with AdamW optimization, 0.0001 learning rate, and batch size 6.

The first axis involves establishing an overview of the system architecture that provides a high-level understanding of the various components of a context-aware IoT system. The second axis concerns the creation of a context-aware IoT systems meta-model, encapsulating the essential elements, relationships, and dependencies governing context awareness within the IoT system in a domain-independent manner. The third axis proposes a reinforcement learning reasoning process to enable intelligent decision-making within context- aware IoT systems. To validate the feasibility of the proposed approach, a simulation was conducted using the OpenAI Gym framework to emulate a context-aware smart home system.

Artificial pancreas systems (APS) perform automated insulin delivery in subjects with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). In this study, an optimized fuzzy logic controller was designed to achieve a euglycemic range after a substantial meal intake. All in silico simulations were performed using the MATLAB/Simulink environment, leveraging control variability grid analysis (CVGA), and the performance of the controller was evaluated. The proposed controller is based on a fuzzy-logic control law designed in three stages. First, a nonlinear framework of the glucose-insulin regulatory system was identified based on the heavy meal protocol of three patients given as follows: for subject ID 117-1, a total of 295 gCHO; for subject ID 126-1, 236 gCHO; and subject ID 128-1, 394 gCHO over a day. Then, an iterative tree structure was employed to establish a stabilizing control rule for insulin delivery, integrating inputs from two Mamdani Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) objects. Finally, a genetic algorithm refines the control system by fine-tuning the uncertainty of the fuzzy membership functions. Two scenarios were considered for three patients to assess the performance of the proposed controller. The results indicated its effectiveness under various conditions, achieving a time in the range of 61.25%, 71% and 61.10% respectively for the three subjects. The obtained results are analyzed and compared with IMC and multi-objective output feedback controllers. The findings of the study reveal that the proposed controller shows promising advancements in tailored strategies for type 1 diabetes patients, outperforming the other controllers in terms of blood glucose regulation.","PeriodicalId":507997,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Online and Biomedical Engineering (iJOE)","volume":"3 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140712413","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The principle behind the Ilizarov fixator is that thin wires (called Kirschner wires) are used to support the bones and connect them to framed rings. Before being fastened to the rings, the wires are tensioned and drilled through the bones. This study suggests using a new parallel wires configuration at the same level on the same ring and two revised versions, which are divergent and convergent models, and compare them with standard wires, 60 angle wires model. All models were designed using SolidWorks, a computer-aided design (CAD) software, and then analyzed in four conditions (axial compression, medial bending, posterior bending, and torsion) with Finite Element Analysis (FEA) using Ansys Workbench 2020 R2.

To achieve this aim, the websites of involved organizations were used for data research purposes, and the members of each respective ecosystem or network were identified by acquiring information about their cooperation partners. A variety of selection criteria have been applied to filter out whether these partners were suitable to be considered as a further starting point for the research. The results indicate the existence of ecosystems in the two fields, with Cologne as the central location, in which various stakeholders, including healthcare institutions, healthcare providers, foundations, NGOs, and the business community, work closely together. Larger institutions are usually networked at an international level, while smaller institutions increasingly depend on and foster regional partnerships. This promotes cooperation and the exchange of knowledge at the regional level and facilitates direct contact with the people affected, i.e., patients’ groups. Research institutions in both fields often receive financial support from commercial organizations, which highlights the importance of the business community’s involvement in exploiting research results and promoting the quality of healthcare. The article highlights the complexity and interdisciplinarity of the particular ecosystems, with all the different categories of institutions comprising an indispensable position. The interaction amongst stakeholders at international, regional, and local levels can significantly help to deploy resources more effectively and improve the quality of life of people suffering from any of the two conditions.","PeriodicalId":507997,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Online and Biomedical Engineering (iJOE)","volume":"24 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140240359","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
