Global Advances in Oncology: Regulation, Multimorbidity, Education, Diagnostics, Cardio-Oncology, and Equity

The Global Mosaic of Modern Oncology The Global Mosaic of Modern Oncology: How Breakthrough Care Meets Real-World Practice A radical transformation is taking place in cancer treatment. For decades the focus of oncology research was only biological; finding the cell mutations, finding drugs that target them and finding ways to make the tumour go away. Although molecular advancements keep changing the course of prognosis, there is a broader reality that has come to light. Nowadays, the fight against cancer doesn't focus solely on cure or control. Regulatory speed, comorbid health conditions, stress from the diagnostic process, cardiovascular side effects, doctor and nurse education, and social determinants of health (SDOH) all influence a patient's journey. Global efforts from expedient drug approval in the Middle East to overhauling cancer training in Europe are changing the face of cancer care into a more unified, fair, and patient...

Disproving a Subgroup Property

Disproving a Subgroup Property Disproving the Property for Subgroups Suppose H is a nonempty subset of a group G with the property: If a, b ∈ H , then a -1 b -1 ∈ H . Is this enough to guarantee H is a subgroup? The answer is no . While every subgroup satisfies this property, a subset can satisfy it without being a subgroup, typically by failing to include the identity element. Subgroup Criteria Non-empty Closed under the group operation Contains the identity element Closed under inverses First Counterexample Consider the cyclic group Z 3 = {0,1,2} under addition mod 3. Let H = {1} . Non-empty: Yes, H contains 1. Property check: For a = b = 1, we compute (-1) + (-1) = -2 ≡ 1 (mod 3). Since 1 ∈ H, the property holds. Subgroup check: H does not contain the identity 0. Also, 1+1 = 2 ∉ H, and the inverse of 1 is 2 ∉ H. Therefore, H is not a subgroup. ...

Boundedness Theorem If a function f is continuous on a closed interval [a,b], then it is bounded. There exist real numbers M and m such that: m ≤ f(x) ≤ M for all x ∈ [a,b] Example f(x)=x² on [-2,2] Minimum value = 0 Maximum value = 4 Hence f(x) is bounded. Continuous functions on closed intervals never "blow up" to infinity. 2. Extreme Value Theorem If f is continuous on [a,b], then f attains both: Absolute Maximum Absolute Minimum Example f(x)=x² on [-1,2] Minimum = 0 at x=0 Maximum = 4 at x=2 3. Intermediate Value Theorem (IVT) If f is continuous on [a,b] and k lies between f(a) and f(b), then there exists c∈(a,b) such that: f(c)=k Example f(x)=x³ f(1)=1 and f(2)=8 Since 5 lies between 1 and 8, ...

Museum of Education is a socio-pedagogical biography of Khan Sir, who went through a fight for struggle to solidarity.

Khan Sir: A Socio-Pedagogical Biography Khan Sir: A Socio-Pedagogical Biography It is common knowledge that teaching is a noble profession. Each generation has a few people who have an impact that goes beyond their profession. They represent hope, strength, and societal change. In India today, where millions of students live in poverty and injustice, Khan Sir has become much more than just a teacher. He is a guide, a motivator, and a reminder for so many students preparing for competitive exams that dreams can conquer the toughest challenges. His classrooms are filled not only with lessons on geography, history, science, or current affairs, but also with encouragement for students who often doubt themselves. He believes education should be offered to all who desire it, not just the privileged few. His story is a testament to empathy, affordability, and culturally relevant communication, showing how digital technology is transforming education in 21st c...

Fractional-Order Bioconvection in Trihybrid Nanofluids Flowing Over a Rotating Disk: A Hybrid Neural Network With Genetic Algorithm Method for Entropy Generation Minimization

<p>Fractional-Order Bioconvection in Trihybrid Nanofluids Flowing Over a Rotating Disk: A Hybrid Neural Network With Genetic Algorithm Method for Entropy Generation Minimization</p> : Minimizing entropy generation in complex fluid systems is a primary concern for improving thermodynamic efficiency. This paper investigates bioconvection in a Carreau-Yasuda trihybrid nanofluid over a spinning disk, where fluid memory is modeled using fractional-order derivatives. We provide an analytical energy-based stability framework for the proposed model. Given the high computational cost associated with solving fractional partial differential equations, we propose a Hybrid Neural Network surrogate model combined with a Genetic Algorithm. The Hybrid Neural Network, trained on data obtained via the Finite Difference Method, accurately predicts Nusselt numbers and entropy generation, while the Genetic Algorithm navigates the response surface to identify Pareto-optimal solutions. A deep cas...

Understanding the Efficacy of Over-Parameterization in Neural Networks

Understanding the Efficacy of Over-Parameterization in Neural Networks Understanding the Efficacy of Over-Parameterization in Neural Networks: Mechanisms, Theories, and Practical Implications Introduction Deep neural networks (DNNs) have become the cornerstone of modern artificial intelligence, driving advancements in computer vision, natural language processing, and myriad other domains. A key, albeit counter-intuitive, property of contemporary DNNs is their immense over-parameterization: these models often contain orders of magnitude more parameters than the number of training examples, yet they generalize remarkably well to unseen data. This phenomenon stands in stark contrast to classical statistical learning theory, which posits that models with excessive complexity relative to the available data are prone to overfitting and poor generalization. Intriguingly, empirical evidence shows that increasing the number of parameters in DNNs can lead ...

Generalization in Extreme Over-Parameterization: Reconciling Expressivity, Efficiency, Robustness, and Fairness in Modern Neural Networks

Generalization in Extreme Over-Parameterization Generalization in Extreme Over-Parameterization: Reconciling Expressivity, Efficiency, Robustness, and Fairness in Modern Neural Networks Introduction The advent of deep learning has been marked by an unprecedented proliferation of over-parameterized models—neural networks whose parameter counts far exceed the number of training data points. This paradigm shift, initially counterintuitive given classical statistical wisdom, has yielded models of remarkable expressivity and performance. Far from being a liability, extreme over-parameterization—when properly harnessed via training dynamics, regularization, and architectural design—not only enables adaptation to complex data structures but also assists models in escaping spurious local minima, achieving state-of-the-art results on challenging tasks (Liu et al., 2021; Xu et al., 2018; Li & Lin, 2024). However, the very properties that empower these...

Neural Network Generalization in the Over-Parameterization Regime: Mechanisms, Benefits, and Limitations

Neural Network Generalization in the Over-Parameterization Regime: Mechanisms, Benefits, and Limitations Neural Network Generalization in the Over-Parameterization Regime: Mechanisms, Benefits, and Limitations Introduction Over the past decade, deep neural networks (DNNs) have risen to prominence across a range of machine learning applications, achieving remarkable performance in domains such as computer vision, natural language processing, and reinforcement learning. A striking and counter-intuitive feature of modern DNNs is their propensity for over-parameterization: models often contain many more parameters than training samples, far exceeding the classical regime where statistical learning theory would predict rampant overfitting and poor generalization. Yet, these highly over-parameterized models not only fit the training data perfectly but also display outstanding generalization to unseen test data—often improving as the number of paramete...
