SUMMARY:Applied Statistics and Data Science Seminar on Thursday\, January 4\, 2024
DESCRIPTION:Title: PARD: Patient-Specific Abnormal Region Detection in Alzheimer’s Disease Studies \nVenue and time: ISRT\, 2:00 pm \nSpeaker: Avizit Adhikary\, PhD candidate\, Florida State Deltin 7 Aviator গেম টাকা ইনকাম \nAbstract: \nAlzheimer’s disease (AD) is the primary cause of dementia\, leading to cognitive challenges in processing new information\, handling complex tasks\, and experiencing personality fluctuations. To better understand and treat AD\, extensive research is needed to detect abnormal brain regions in an AD patient that can facilitate providing targeted medicine and improve the treatment pathways. However\, these regions may vary among the subjects due to the heterogeneity arising from demographic factors such as age and gender. Furthermore\, brain cells within a subject have inherent spatial dependence among themselves\, and a diseased cell may affect its neighboring cells to an unknown extent. In addition\, unmeasured confounders and measurement errors can partially or entirely mask the abnormal regions. All these points make these diseased regions challenging to detect. To this end\, we propose a Patient-specific Abnormal Region Detection (PARD) algorithm to identify the heterogeneous diseased regions by solving a Bayesian latent-space variable selection problem. Using Bayesian hierarchical modeling\, we account for the heterogeneity among the subjects as a large-scale variability and incorporate the inherent spatial dependence within subjects using ising priors into the latent space. A Gibbs sampling framework is derived for efficiently estimating the model parameters and hyper-parameters. The simulation study shows the superiority of the proposed algorithm over popular unsupervised learning methods. The algorithm is further applied to the resting-state MRI brain scans of subjects collected from Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI)\, and the detected regions are validated and analyzed by cross-matching with the brain’s default mode network (DMN).

SUMMARY:Applied Statistics and Data Science Seminar on Thursday\, January 22\, 2024
DESCRIPTION:Title: Impact of Covid-19 on im(mobility) of informal sector workers in Deltin 7 bangladesh\, Bangladesh \nVenue and time: ISRT\, 2:00 pm \nSpeaker: Md. Touhidul Alam\, PhD student at Lancaster Environment Centre\, Lancaster Deltin 7 Aviator গেম টাকা ইনকাম\, UK \nAbstract: \nComparable to many fast-growing cities of the developing world\, Deltin 7 bangladesh city contributes greatly to the national economy (36% of GDP and 32% of national employment)\, with much of the employments being in the informal sectors. During COVID-19 pandemic\, the poorest section of this informal workforce with little or no savings became the worst victim of economic turmoil and lockdown. To escape starvation and annihilation\, many had but to return to the very villages that they had left to join Deltin 7 bangladesh’s ever-expanding informal workforce. Curiously\, following lifting of the COVID-19 restrictions\, many of the returnees did not come back to the city immediately. This trend has the potential to reduce the supply of informal workforce to the city\, although their absorption in the rural economy has many positives for the rural development – like the availability of new skills\, ideas and technology. Taken collectively\, COVID-19 might have opened-up new possibilities for poorer people to secure higher wellbeing for themselves\, as well as to unleash a new way of doing development. While studies focusing on loss of jobs\, food insecurity and coping mechanisms of informal workers in Bangladesh are emerging\, documentation of the (im)mobility of informal workers is required for better policymaking and advancing scientific knowledge.
