“…Generally, causes of classification errors can be categorized into the following table: Charu C. Aggarwal [1] Research work assumes a measurement noise that follows a random pattern and tries to recover the measurement of training samples assuming they are inherently sparse in feature space. Other work such as [2], [3], [4] address the classification problem under training sample uncertainty. Online random noise in measurement, however, has been addressed very little in literatures in the scope of classification.…”

Classification of an object under various environmental conditions is a challenge for developing a reliable service robot. In this work, we show problems of using simple Naïve Bayesian classifier and propose a Tree-Augmented Naïve (TAN) Bayesian Networkbased classifier. We separate feature space into binary TRUE/FALSE regions which allows us to drive Bayesian inference prior conditional probabilities from statistical database. We go further using TRUE/FALSE regions to estimate expected posterior probabilities of each object under online specific conditions. These expectations are then used to select optimal feature sets under this environment and autonomously reconstruct Bayesian Network. Experimental results, validation and comparison show the performance of the proposed system.

“…Originally identified through sequence comparisons of the class II gene promoters, the functional roles of these elements has since been established via extensive mutagenesis and deletional analyses (24,25). All three elements, or "boxes" as they are called, are essential for the proper transcription of class II genes both in constitutively expressing B cells as well as in IFN-'y-inducible cell lines.…”

Fragments of foreign antigen are detected by CD4+ helper T cells via the T cell receptor for antigen in the context of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecules. Very few cells normally express class II MHC molecules, and these cells play critical roles in antigen presentation and in the thymic selection of T lymphocytes before their exit into the periphery. Because of the central role the class II MHC molecules play in immune system function, it is not surprising that the lack of expression of these molecules results in a severe combined immunodeficiency disorder (called bare lymphocyte syndrome) and that the aberrant expression of the molecules is frequently observed in the target organs of various autoimmune disorders (e.g., multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis). Because both classes of disease could conceivably be treated by molecular approaches targeted at either restoring or inhibiting expression of class II MHC genes, there has been an intense effort during the past decade to elucidate the regulatory mechanisms of class II MHC genes. An analysis of recent advances in this effort is provided in this review article.

“…Reliability is concerned with the ability of a questionnaire to measure consistently. The reliability of a questionnaire does not depend on its validity, and a questionnaire cannot be valid unless it is reliable [24].…”

“…It must be noted that internal consistency should be determined before examining the survey to ensure validity. Cronbach Alpha, which is considered one of the most widespread reliability measure methods, was developed by Lee Cronbach in 1951 to indicate internal consistency [24]. It is associated with the inter-relatedness of questions, which indicates that items in the test measure have the same construct.…”

“…Some researchers [24][25][26][27][28][29] are interested in measuring the reliability and validity of their questionnaires to get good results, but sometimes they may hesitate to use the alpha method to test reliability. Since alpha is affected by the number of items count, increasing the number of items could indicate a high similarity, but the correlation does not change.…”

Since its inception in 2019, COVID-19 has been associated with significant changes in lifestyle-related behavior, including physical activity, diet, and sleep, which are vital to maintaining our well-being. This study measures lifestyle-related behavior during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown using a 21-item questionnaire. The responses were collected from March 2021 to September 2021. Four hundred sixty-seven participants were engaged in assessing the changes caused by the pandemic and their effect on BMI. The validity and reliability of the questionnaire were tested for 71 participants. Cronbach's alpha values for the questionnaire all exceeded 0.7, demonstrating good validity and internal consistency for it. The effect of each question regarding physical activity and dietary habits over the BMI difference was studied using ANOVA. The study shows that more than half of the participants reported snacking more between meals and increased their sitting and screen time, while 74% felt more stressed and anxious. These indications were the cause of the increase in the BMI rate for individuals in the lockdown. In contrast, 62% of the participants showed more awareness about their health by increasing the intake of immunity-boosting foods, and 56% of the participants showed an increase in the consumption of nutrition supplements. Females and married individuals tended to be healthier, so their BMI showed stability compared to others based on their gender and marital status.
