Global air quality index prediction using integrated spatial observation data and geographics machine learning by Tania Septi Anggraini, Hitoshi Irie, Anjar Dimara Sakti, Ketut Wikantika

“…However, effective mitigation of air pollution is often hindered by the uneven distribution of air quality monitoring stations, which tend to be concentrated in potential hotspots like major cities. This study aims to detect and improve the accuracy of the Global Air Quality Index from Remote Sensing (AQI-RS) by integrating AQI from ground-based stations with driving factors such as meteorological, environmental, sources of air pollution, and air pollution magnitude from satellite observation parameters as independent variables using Geographics Machine Learning (GML). …”

Examining interprofessional collaboration in oncogenetic service delivery models for hereditary cancers: a scoping review protocol by Maude Laberge, Jason Robert Guertin, Hermann Nabi, Karine Bouchard, Michel Dorval, Maria Eugenia Espinoza Moya, Julie Lapointe

“…Introduction In a context of limited genetic specialists, collaborative models have been proposed to ensure timely access to high quality oncogenetic services for individuals with inherited cancer susceptibility. Yet, extensive variability in the terminology used and lack of a clear understanding of how interprofessional collaboration is operationalised and evaluated currently constrains the development of a robust evidence base on the value of different approaches used to optimise access to these services. …”
