Comparative evaluation of machine learning models for enhancing diagnostic accuracy of otitis media with effusion in children with adenoid hypertrophy by Xiaote Zhang, Qiaoyi Xie, Ganggang Wu

“…Confusion matrix analysis further confirmed RF as the optimal model, achieving 0.875 accuracy and robust inter-rater agreement (Cohen's kappa coefficient = 0.696) in the testing cohort. SHAP analysis identified the adenoid-to-nasopharyngeal ratio as the predominant diagnostic indicator, followed by tympanometric type and history of recurrent respiratory infections.ConclusionAn RF-based diagnostic model effectively identifies OME in AH children by integrating anatomical, functional, and inflammatory parameters, providing a clinically applicable tool for enhanced diagnostic accuracy and evidence-based management decisions.…”

Presenting a model of political behavior based on the theory of shadow management in the public sector with a hybrid method by Ghorbanali Khazaei Pool, davood kiakojouri, Mohammad Javad Tghipourian

“…Components related to power and political behavior based on shadow management theory were identified and validated with the kappa coefficient. Based on the research findings, political behavior in the public sector has 72 components in three different dimensions: the white political behavior dimension with 28 components that has a practical function and is based on political behavior knowledge and helps achieve organizational goals; the black political behavior dimension with 26 components that are harmful and act in favor of groups under the supervision of shadow managers and prevent the achievement of the organization's goals; and the gray political behavior with 18 components that may be both beneficial and detrimental to the organization's goals. …”
