Article Abstract

Recently, biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries have made strides to adopt and implement Natural Language Processing (NLP) to address challenges faced when extracting and synthesizing high volumes of information found in unstructured and semistructured text. Here we present, and provide a summary of the findings from, a use case where NLP and text mining methodologies were used to extract clinical trial data from ClinicalTrials.gov for mRNA cancer vaccines.

The emergence of the Novel COVID-19 Pandemic has undoubtedly impacted the lives of individuals across the globe. It has drawn the attention of major public health agencies as they work intensely towards understanding the behavior of the virus causing the disease, while simultaneously establishing ways to curb the spread of the virus among populations. As of the time of writing, 7,949,973 confirmed cases have been reported globally; with the United States (US) contributing to 26.

This study quantitatively evaluated the adsorption performance of natural bentonite for removing three dye classes-cationic (Basic dye: BEZACRYL RED GRL), anionic (Reactive dye: AVITERA LIGHT RED SE), and non-ionic (Disperse dye: BEMACRON BLUE HP3R) from synthetic textile wastewater. Batch adsorption experiments were conducted under varying conditions of contact time (15-90 min), adsorbent dosage (20-60 g L⁻), pH (4 and 12), and temperature (25-100 °C), with dye concentrations quantified by UV-Vis spectroscopy. At a contact time of 30 min and room temperature (25 °C), maximum removal efficiencies reached 99.

Language control has been argued to adapt dynamically to the language context bilinguals are communicating in (Green & Abutalebi, 2013). Previous research has suggested that the demands of the task and current context itself can influence a bilingual's language behaviour and potentially also their language control. Here, we examined how the preceding context, specifically the switching patterns of another bilingual in that context, can influence a bilingual's own language control during production.

A real old man: Aging masculinity and late-life creativity in Ernest Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea.

There is surprisingly little age-critical research on Ernest Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea (1952), even though the novella seems like an obvious choice for age studies. This article reviews foundational concepts and approaches in age studies on gender, performativity, creativity and space and brings them into dialog with The Old Man and the Sea. In the first part, the representation of older age and gender is emphasized through an analysis of the intersectional and performative nature of the old man's aging masculinity, including a focus on the aesthetic choices which contribute to the novella's semantic complexity.

Rapid advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI) have significantly impacted multiple sectors of our society, including healthcare. While conventional AI has been instrumental in solving mainly image recognition tasks and thereby adding in well-defined situations such as supporting diagnostic imaging, the emergence of generative AI is impacting on one of the main professional competences: doctor-patient interaction.A convergence of natural language processing (NLP) and generative AI is exemplified by intelligent chatbots like ChatGPT.
