A typical question for people dealing with administrative processes is: “When will my case be finished?”. In this paper, we show how this question can be answered, using historic information in the form of event logs of the systems supporting these administrative processes. Many information systems record information about activities performed for past cases in logs. Hence, to provide insights ...

There are many unanswered questions about how to manage secondary hyperparathyroidism and associated alterations in mineral metabolism in patients with end-stage renal disease. We provide commentary on an observational study by Komaba et al. that presents interesting new insights into the long-standing controversy related to the impact of parathyroidectomy on survival of hemodialysis patients.

The extinction of species carry several risks to society [1]. Biological diversity provides numerous services to humans [1], most of these non-tangible and hard to quantify [1]. Conservationists, thus seek to minimize extinction risks because biological diversity provides ecosystem resilience [2], and human quality of livelihoods associate with system resilience [3]. The material value basis of...

The protein folding problem can be viewed as three different problems: defining the thermodynamic folding code; devising a good computational structure prediction algorithm; and answering Levinthal's question regarding the kinetic mechanism of how proteins can fold so quickly. Once regarded as a grand challenge, protein folding has seen much progress in recent years. Folding codes are now being...

One of the problems faced by developing countries is income inequality, which caused weak and uneven human capital between regions. This research aims to determine convergence in absolute conditional with explanatory variable government expenditure education. The method used panel data regression generalized least square robust standard error. results showed that provinces Indonesia experienced...
