The objective of this study was to improve user experience when appreciating visual artworks with soundscape music chosen by a deep neural network based on weakly supervised learning. We also propose a multi-faceted approach to measuring ambiguous concepts, such as the subjective fitness, implicit senses, immersion, and availability. We showed improvements in appreciation experience, such as the metaphorical and psychological transferability, time distortion, and cognitive absorption, with in-depth experiments involving 70 participants. Our test results were similar to those of “Bunker de Lumières: van Gogh”, which is an immersive media artwork directed by Gianfranco lannuzzi; the fitness scores of our system and “Bunker de Lumières: van Gogh” were 3.68/5 and 3.81/5, respectively. Moreover, the concordance of implicit senses between artworks and classical music was measured to be 0.88%, and the time distortion and cognitive absorption improved during the immersion. Finally, the proposed method obtained a subjective satisfaction score of 3.53/5 in the evaluation of its usability. Our proposed method can also help spread soundscape-based media art by supporting traditional soundscape design. Furthermore, we hope that our proposed method will help people with visual impairments to appreciate artworks through its application to a multi-modal media art guide platform.

Anxiety in preoperative patients with Sectio Caesarea is a specific anxiety, namely concern about operating procedures, anesthesia procedures, information deficits, and concerns about family financial problems, concerns about themselves and the baby to be born. Music is applied into therapy, because music can restore, and maintain physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual health. The provision of classical music therapy can releases pain and reduces stress levels, so that it can cause a decrease in anxiety. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of Beethoven classical music therapy to reduce anxiety in cesarean section. This study used a pre-experimental design with the design of two group control interventions. The number of samples in this study were 10 people each in the intervention and control groups. Sampling is done using accidental techniques. Data analysis using the t-dependent test. The t-dependent statistical test results can be concluded that there is a significant influence of classical music therapy to reduce anxiety in cesarean section delivery mothers in the intervention and control groups (P = 0.041). From the results of this study it is known that Beethoven classical music therapy is effective for reducing anxiety, so that nurses can apply classical music therapy in providing care to cesarean section mothers.

Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic first originated in Wuhan, China and has spread to every country in the world. Without a viable cure in the near future, there is an urgent need for rapid diagnosis of COVID-19, faster test results and automated segmentation of infected region in the lungs. The aim of this paper is to assist in the rapid detection and segmentation of COVID-19 patients using deep learning techniques. This paper proposes a method for automatic segmentation of the lung and infected regions of COVID 19 patients using lung CT scan dataset. This has been done using a modified U-Net model along with different cross validation folds. The region of infection which is segmented will contain the lesion, which if identified in the early stages can be beneficial during treatment of the person. This can help doctors to determine the severity of the infection and suggest treatments based on it. A comparative analysis of the proposed architectures has been done against recently published results which proves the superiority of our models in terms of dice similarity coefficients.

Abstract Semantic segmentation is a traditional task that requires a large number of pixel-level ground truth label data sets, which is time-consuming and expensive. Recent developments in weakly-supervised settings have shown that reasonable performance can be obtained using only image-level labels. Classification is often used as an agent task to train deep neural networks and extract attention maps from them. The classification task only needs less supervision information to obtain the most discriminative part of the object. For this purpose, we propose a new end-to-end counter-wipe network. Compared with the baseline network, we propose a method to apply the graph neural network to obtain the first CAM. It is proposed to train the joint loss function to avoid the network weight sharing and cause the network to fall into a saddle point. Our experiments on the Pascal VOC2012 dataset show that 64.9% segmentation performance is obtained, which is an improvement of 2.1% compared to our baseline.

Abstract Background: Renal cancer is one of the ten most common cancers in human beings. The laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) is an effective way to treat renal cancer. Localization and delineation of the renal tumor from pre-operative CT Angiography (CTA) is an important step for LPN surgery planning. Recently, with the development of the technique of deep learning, deep neural networks can be trained to provide accurate pixel-wise renal tumor segmentation in CTA images. However, constructing the training dataset with a large amount of pixel-wise annotations is a time-consuming task for the radiologists. Therefore, weakly-supervised approaches attract more interest in research. Methods: In this paper, we proposed a novel weakly-supervised convolutional neural network (CNN) for renal tumor segmentation. A three-stage framework was introduced to train the CNN with the weak annotations of renal tumors, i.e. the bounding boxes of renal tumors. The framework includes pseudo masks generation, group and weighted training phases. Clinical abdomina CT angiographic images of 200 patients were applied to perform the evaluation. Results: Extensive experimental results show that the proposed method achieves a higher dice coefficient (DSC) of 0.826 than the other two existing weakly-supervised deep neural networks. Furthermore, the segmentation performance is close to the fully supervised deep CNN. Conclusions: The proposed strategy improves not only the efficiency of network training but also the precision of the segmentation.
