Cílem práce je prozkoumat doporučovací systémy a způsoby jejich vyhodnocení. Je kladen důraz na porovnání online a offline způsobů vyhodnocení, neboť jejich vztah je velmi sporný. Při výzkumu se běžně používá recall pro optimalizaci doporučovacích algoritmů. Avšak recall může trpět různými problémy a nemusí vždy odpovídat online metrikám, jako je m...

To estimate the impact on the effectiveness of Swedish breast cancer screening program in women aged 40-49 years of shortening the screening interval from 21 months to 18 or 12 months. The reduction in breast cancer mortality among participants in screening with mammography was previously estimated in the Swedish SCReening of Young women (SCRY) stu...

The first and second rounds of the Basque programme for organised colorectal cancer screening were implemented between 2009 and 2014. Our objective was to measure the changes in incidence, tumour, node, metastasis staging distribution and tumour, node, metastasis-adjusted survival of patients with colorectal cancer from 2003 to 2014. Colorectal can...

More than 350 million people are living with prediabetes. Preventing type 2 diabetes (T2D) progression can reduce morbidity, mortality and health-care costs. Interventions can support people with diet and physical activity behaviour changes; however, many interventions are university-based, posing barriers (e.g. accessibility, limited reach and mai...

The difficulty to find new drugs and bring them to the market has led to an increased interest to find new applications for known compounds. Biological samples from many disease contexts have been extensively profiled by transcriptomics, and, intuitively, this motivates to search for compounds with a reversing effect on the expression of characteri...

A triage test is used to determine which patients will undergo an existing or "reference" test. This article explores the potential value of using triage tests before reference tests when the capacity of the reference test is constrained. We developed a simple model with inputs: prevalence, sensitivity, specificity, and reference test capacity. We ...

In spite of significant interest in the application of police use of force (UOF) from organisations, researchers, and the general public, there remains no industry standard for how police UOF is trained, and by extension, evaluated. While certain UOF behaviours can be objectively measured (e.g., correct shoot/no shoot decision making (DM), shot acc...
Theory of Change (ToC) has been promoted as a useful tool in sustainability research for visioning, planning, communication, monitoring, evaluation and learning. It involves a mapping of steps towards a desired long-term goal supplemented with continuous reflection on how and why change is expected to happen in a particular context. However, there ...

Accurate estimates of precipitation are fundamental for hydrometeorological and ecohydrological studies, but are more difficult in high mountainous areas because of the high elevation and complex terrain. This study compares and evaluates two kinds of precipitation datasets, the reanalysis product downscaled by the Weather Research and Forecasting ...
