This paper intends to study the adaptation of printed albums for the CD-ROM support in France during the 1990s. As an evidence of the first incursions of printed comics into digital publishing and ...composed of less than ten titles, the corpus studied nevertheless reveals a new situation in the editorial context in which it appeared. By situating these objects at the crossroads of upheavals in the editorial landscape of comics and books in general, at a time when entertainment computing is being democratized, this study aims to show how these marginal publications testify to and announce a disruption of the media identity of comic, at the crossroads of the symbolic influence of the album and the formal issues involved in publishing on an innovative support.
In what ways can the coded literature that circulates in the digital realm be interpreted in light of the logic of change? At present, pre-individual hyperlinks and hypermedia, encompassing the ...internet, social media platforms, blogs, hashtags, Twitter, and the world wide web, are utilized to represent the database of encoded literary texts. The correlation between the internet and AI is a captivating subject in the age of artificial intelligence. The historical progression of the World Wide Web illustrates its genetic and developmental stages: from static text-based information that was easily navigable for users to the social web, which integrated user-generated content and web applications, and finally to the "semantic web," which implemented artificial intelligence and machine learning. Transductive Intermedia, an emerging technology that integrates machine learning algorithms and user-supplied data via neural networks trained by artificial intelligence, facilitates enhanced "interoperability" and "hyper-connectivity" among diverse platforms and devices (e.g., Twitter, Facebook, or YouTube). The touchscreen or electronic interface serves as an illustration that "code" can be considered an essential element of the "text" in the form of a digital world literature database. This is apparent in electronic literature, digital poetry, and digital poetics of the present day. The aim of this article was to reassess the consequences of the challenges that the convergence of artificial intelligence, intermedia, digital humanities, and digitized/born-digital world literature presents. Furthermore, it proposes the concept of the pre-individual within the realm of transductive digital world literature. Keywords code; database; digital world literature; transduction; world wide web

Se llevó a cabo un estudio acerca de la utilización del CD-ROM en las bibliotecas públicas, académicas y centros de documentación de los países de Europa Occidental durante 1989. Se analizan con más ...detenimiento los resultados obtenidos en bibliotecas españolas, comparándolas con el resto de Europa, llegándose a la conclusión de que los productos ópticos en general, y el CD-ROM en particular no se emplean habitualmente en las bibliotecas españolas
Injuries are a public health crisis. Neurotrauma, a specific type of injury, is a leading cause of death and disability globally, with the largest burden in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). ...However, there is a lack of quality neurotrauma-specific data in LMICs, especially at the national level. Without standard criteria for what constitutes a national registry, and significant challenges frequently preventing this level of data collection, we argue that single-institution or regional databases can provide significant value for context-appropriate solutions. Although granular data for larger populations and a universal minimum dataset to enable comparison remain the gold standard, we must put progress over perfection. It is critical to engage local experts to explore available data and build effective information systems to inform solutions and serve as the foundation for quality and process improvement initiatives. Other items to consider include adequate resource allocation and leveraging of technology as we work to address the persistent but largely preventable injury pandemic.
Education for children with special needs, in Indonesia language known as Anak Berkebutuhan Khusus or ABK, at an early age plays a significant role in triggering their abilities to communicate by ...using sign language. This paper discusses the results of research on the development of sign language learning media for ABK with age range 6-9 years. The stage of designing learning media includes the SDLC method (System Development Life Cycle). The result of the design is a Multimedia Application for Introduction to Sign Language for Deaf Children age 8-12 years in the form of CD-ROMs. The first is the CD-ROM for PC / computer which contains Indonesian language learning element, examples of simple sentences, practice questions and puzzles, and each item includes a sign-language video, the second is in the form of VCD containing Indonesian language learning material and in each element comprises sign language video.
Background
Infants born to mothers with pre‐existing type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus are at greater risk of congenital anomalies, perinatal mortality and significant morbidity in the short and ...long term. Pregnant women with pre‐existing diabetes are at greater risk of perinatal morbidity and diabetic complications. The relationship between glycaemic control and health outcomes for both mothers and infants indicates the potential for preconception care for these women to be of benefit. This is an update of the original review, which was first published in 2010.
Objectives
To assess the effects of preconception care in women with diabetes on health outcomes for mothers and their infants.
Search methods
We searched Cochrane Pregnancy and Childbirth's Trials Register (31 January 2017) and reference lists of retrieved articles.
Selection criteria
Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) assessing the effects of preconception care for diabetic women. Cluster‐RCTs and quasi‐RCTs were eligible for inclusion but none were identified.
Data collection and analysis
Two reviewers independently assessed study eligibility, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of the included studies. We checked data for accuracy and assessed the quality of the evidence using the GRADE approach.
Main results
We included three trials involving 254 adolescent girls with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, with an overall unclear to high risk of bias. The three trials were conducted at diabetes clinics in the USA, and assessed the READY‐Girls (Reproductive‐health Education and Awareness of Diabetes in Youth for Girls) programme versus standard care.
Considering primary outcomes, one trial reported no pregnancies in the trial period (12 months) (very low‐quality evidence, with downgrading based on study limitations (risk of bias) and imprecision); in the other two trials, pregnancy was an exclusion criterion, or was not clearly reported on. None of the trials reported on the other primary maternal outcomes, hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and caesarean section; or primary infant outcomes, large‐for‐gestational age, perinatal mortality, death or morbidity composite, or congenital malformations. Similarly, none of the trials reported on the secondary outcomes, for which we had planned to assess the quality of the evidence using the GRADE approach (maternal: induction of labour; perineal trauma; gestational weight gain; long‐term cardiovascular health; infant: adiposity; type 1 or 2 diabetes; neurosensory disability).
The majority of secondary maternal and infant outcomes, and outcomes relating to the use and costs of health services were not reported by the three included trials. Regarding behaviour changes associated with the intervention, in one trial, participants in the preconception care group had a slightly higher score for the actual initiation of discussion regarding preconception care with healthcare providers at follow‐up (nine months), compared with those in the standard care group (mean difference 0.40, 95% confidence interval ‐0.02 to 0.82 (on a scale of 0 to 4 points); participants = 87) (a summation of four dichotomous items; possible range 0 to 4, with 0 being no discussion).
Authors' conclusions
There are insufficient RCT data available to assess the effects of preconception care for diabetic women on health outcomes for mothers and their infants.
More high‐quality evidence is needed to determine the effects of different protocols of preconception care for diabetic women. Future trials should be powered to evaluate effects on short‐ and long‐term maternal and infant outcomes, and outcomes relating to the use and costs of health services. We have identified three ongoing studies that we will consider in the next review update.
Semantic integration has been a long‐standing challenge for the database community. It has received steady attention over the past two decades, and has now become a prominent area of database ...research. In this article, we first review database applications that require semantic integration and discuss the difficulties underlying the integration process. We then describe recent progress and identify open research issues. We focus in particular on schema matching, a topic that has received much attention in the database community, but also discuss data matching (for example, tuple deduplication) and open issues beyond the match discovery context (for example, reasoning with matches, match verification and repair, and reconciling inconsistent data values). For previous surveys of database research on semantic integration, see Rahm and Bernstein (2001); Ouksel and Seth (1999); and Batini, Lenzerini, and Navathe (1986).
