It gives me great pleasure to announce the sixth regular issue of 2021. All this is only possible thanks to the great support of the J.UCS community. Therefore, I would like to thank all the authors for their sound research and the editorial board for the highly valuable reviews and suggestions for improvement. These contributions together with the generous support of the consortium members sustain the quality of our journal. We are always interested in receiving high quality proposals for special issues on new topics and emerging trends. Please consider yourself and encourage your colleagues to submit high quality articles to our journal. I am also still looking to expand our editorial board: If you are a tenured associate professor or higher and have a good publication record, please feel free to apply to join our editorial board. In this regular issue, I am very pleased to introduce six accepted papers contributed by 17 authors from six different countries. Rochdi Boudjehem and Yacine Lafifi from Algeria outline their research on how to identify and assist struggling learners by monitoring and analyzing their behavior within the e-learning environment. Abdelouafi Ikidid, Abdelaziz El Fazziki and Mohammed Sadgal from Morocco introduce a fuzzy logic-based multi-agent system for traffic light control at a signalized intersection by acting on the length and sequence of traffic light phases to favor priority flows and make traffic flow more smoothly at an isolated intersection and for the entire network with multiple intersections. Andrea Lezcano Airaldi, Jorge Andrés Diaz-Pace and Emanuel Irrazábal from Argentina conducted a case study to evaluate the benefits of incorporating data-driven storytelling into the development of a software system to support decision-making in crisis settings. José Monteiro, Maria Bernardo, Mafalda Ferreira, and Tânia Rocha from Portugal discuss their study of quality aspects of e-government information with the goal of better understanding which of these attributes are most valued from the users’ perspective when evaluating content provided by government websites. Ricardo Pérez- Castillo and Mario Piattini from Spain outline their study on how the evolution of the development effort influences the code quality, which was analyzed on 13 open source projects. Hamda Slimi, Ibrahim Bounhas and Yahya Slimani from Tunisia discuss their approach, which aims to detect emerging and unseen rumors on Twitter by adapting a pre-trained language model, namely RoBERTa, to the task of rumor detection.

Summary Objectives: To summarize recent research and emerging trends in the area of secondary use of healthcare data, and to present the best papers published in this field, selected to appear in the 2017 edition of the IMIA Yearbook. Methods: A literature review of articles published in 2016 and related to secondary use of healthcare data was performed using two bibliographic databases. From this search, 941 papers were identified. The section editors independently reviewed the papers for relevancy and impact, resulting in a consensus list of 14 candidate best papers. External reviewers examined each of the candidate best papers and the final selection was made by the editorial board of the Yearbook. Results: From the 941 retrieved papers, the selection process resulted in four best papers. These papers discuss data quality concerns, issues in preserving privacy of patients in shared datasets, and methods of decision support when consuming large amounts of raw electronic health record (EHR) data. Conclusion: In 2016, a significant effort was put into the development of new systems which aim to avoid significant human understanding and pre-processing of healthcare data, though this is still only an emerging area of research. The value of temporal relationships between data received significant study, as did effective information sharing while preserving patient privacy.

It is with great pleasure that I write this editorial to welcome you to the first issue of this new International journal, “Pakistan Biomedical Journal” (PBMJ). The topics covered by the journal are certainly broad and interesting. Biomedical science is a collection of applied sciences that help us understand, research, and innovate within the _eld of healthcare. It includes disciplines like molecular biology, clinical virology, bioinformatics, and biomedical engineering, among others. It's designed to apply the biological sciences to advance not only individual health but also the area of public health. Biomedical Research can help health professions better understand things like the human body and cell biology, making advances in our understanding of epidemics, health initiatives, and human health in the age of longer life expectancy. It aids our understanding of infectious disease and provides research opportunities into some of our most troubling health issues. The journal will continue to publish high quality clinical and biomedical research in health and disease later in life. Peer review will remain a vital component of our assessment of submitted articles. I am very happy to have a team of excellent editors and editorial board members from the top international league covering in depth the related topics. They will ensure the highest standards of quality for the published manuscripts and, at the same time, keep the process time as short as possible. We hope to bring best researches in the _eld of biomedical sciences that may serve as a guideline in health awareness, understanding the mechanisms and its management in future. We definitely look forward to receiving your excellent studies to making PBMJ synonymous with high quality in the biomedical science domain.
