Ranked List

In the present web era, efficient and topmost outcomes of applications, such as recommender systems, search engines, voting and other ranking applications fascinate web users. Web services maintain communication among applications and applications to end users. In E*Trade, the support system evolves to suggest services based on the user's browser preferences. Services thus are ranked depending on the quality of service of the corresponding service from a user perspective. There are adequate services that are accessible, but users utilize only their desired services and give their ranking. In the process of final rank generation, merging the long partial ranked list by heterogeneous web service users is not adequate in current research articles. This approach applies the efficient methods of Markov chain for this dynamic context, and validating using real datasets and results showed the efficiency of this approach. This ranking approach engages the consumers to choose their services in a short span in the decision-making process in this competitive electronic business system.

The modern B2B electronic business system should be able to make the enterprise meet better the need of the market, which must have some characteristics of cross-organization, cross-enterprises and frequent interaction. The paper proposes a dynamic electronic commerce model based on XML and Web Services, which consists of presentation layer, Web Services layer, application service layer, data integration layer and data layer. The dynamic e-business model can not only implement the loose system integration, but also be able to reuse the existing resources, and reduce to the cost of system integration and implementation time.

Reliability evaluation of multi service multi-functional SOAP based web services for high load of users is important from the perspective of operational quality of the service, users and developers. In this article, the authors have emphasized on developing a novel methodology for evaluating the reliability of web service for high load. A prototype research medical web service is considered to predict the reliability of the service by using this methodology. The authors called the service as PMedWS (Prototype Medical Web Service). They performed stress and load testing on the web service using Mercury Load Runner to study the reliability aspects against massive users. The experimental results and the statistical analysis demonstrate the applicability and effectiveness of our methodology.

Recently, web services have presented a new and evolving model for constructing the distributed system. The meteoric growth of the Web over the last few years proves the efficacy of using simple protocols over the Internet as the basis for a large number of web services and applications. Web service is a modern technology of web, which can be defined as software applications with a programmatic interface based on Internet protocol. Web services became common in the applications of the web by the help of Universal, Description, Discovery and Integration; Web Service Description Language and Simple Object Access Protocol. The architecture of web services refers to a collection of conceptual components in which common sets of standard can be defined among interoperating components. Nevertheless, the existing Web service's architecture is not impervious to some challenges, such as security problems, and the quality of services. Against this backdrop, the present study will provide an overview of these issues. Therefore, it aims to propose web services architecture model to support distributed system in terms of application and issues.

The assent procedure reflects an effort to enable the minor to understand, to the degree they are capable of, what their participation in the decision making process would involve. Aims: To evaluate the minors’ ability to understand the information provided to them when obtaining assent and to evaluate the opinion of the parents regarding the importance of asking the child’s assent. Methods: The sample included a total of 52 minors aged between 10 and 17 years who underwent exercise echocardiogram. The Quality of Informed Consent is divided into two parts: Part A was used to measure objective understanding and part B to measure subjective understanding. Results: The results show that the minors have a high capacity to understand the information given to them when asking for assent. A positive relationship was found between the two parts of the questionnaire. No statistically significant relationship was found between age and sex and part A and part B or between both age groups (<14 years old and ≥14 years old) and the measure. In the case of the parents, 96.6% of parents consider assent as an advantage for the child’s acceptance of health care. The opinion of the parents is not related to the age, sex or level of schooling. Conclusion: Minors showed a substantial level of understanding regarding the information provided to them. The parents considered the implementation of assent fundamental to the child’s acceptance of health care.

Purpose of review: In this narrative review, we describe general aspects, histological alterations, treatment, and implications of Fabry disease (FD) nephropathy. This information should be used to guide physicians and patients in a shared decision-making process. Source of information: Original peer-reviewed articles, review articles, and opinion pieces were identified from PubMed and Google Scholar databases. Only sources in English were accessed. Methods: We performed a focused narrative review assessing the main aspects of FD nephropathy. The literature was critically analyzed from a theoretical and contextual perspective, and thematic analysis was performed. Key findings: FD nephropathy is related to the progressive accumulation of GL3, which occurs in all types of renal cells. It is more prominent in podocytes, which seem to play an important role in the pathogenesis of this nephropathy. A precise detection of renal disorders is of fundamental importance because the specific treatment of FD is usually delayed, making reversibility unlikely and leading to a worse prognosis. Limitations: As no formal tool was applied to assess the quality of the included studies, selection bias may have occurred. Nonetheless, we have attempted to provide a comprehensive review on the topic using current studies from experts in FD and extensive review of the literature.

The website of a university is considered to be a virtual gateway to provide primary resources to its stakeholders. It can play an indispensable role in disseminating information about a university to a variety of audience at a time. Thus, the quality of an academic website requires special attention to fulfil the users’ need. This paper presents a multi-method approach of quality assessment of the academic websites, in the context of universities of Bangladesh. We developed an automated web-based tool that can evaluate any academic website based on three criteria, which are as follows: content of information, loading time and overall performance. Content of information contains many sub criteria, such as university vision and mission, faculty information, notice board and so on. This tool can also perform comparative analysis among several academic websites and generate a ranked list of these. To the best of our knowledge, this is the very first initiative to develop an automated tool for accessing academic website quality in context of Bangladesh. Beside this, we have conducted a questionnaire-based statistical evaluation among several universities to obtain the respective users’ feedback about their academic websites. Then, a ranked list is generated based on the survey result that is almost similar to the ranked list got from the University ranking systems. This validates the effectiveness of our developed tool in accessing academic website.
