Radiographic Interpretation

Tumor classification and segmentation problems have attracted interest in recent years. In contrast to the abundance of studies examining brain, lung, and liver cancers, there has been a lack of studies using deep learning to classify and segment knee bone tumors. In this study, our objective is to assist physicians in radiographic interpretation to detect and classify knee bone regions in terms of whether they are normal, begin-tumor, or malignant-tumor regions. We proposed the Seg-Unet model with global and patched-based approaches to deal with challenges involving the small size, appearance variety, and uncommon nature of bone lesions. Our model contains classification, tumor segmentation, and high-risk region segmentation branches to learn mutual benefits among the global context on the whole image and the local texture at every pixel. The patch-based model improves our performance in malignant-tumor detection. We built the knee bone tumor dataset supported by the physicians of Chonnam National University Hospital (CNUH). Experiments on the dataset demonstrate that our method achieves better performance than other methods with an accuracy of 99.05% for the classification and an average Mean IoU of 84.84% for segmentation. Our results showed a significant contribution to help the physicians in knee bone tumor detection.

AbstractNinth International Congress of Mongolists: A Personal Account Congresses of Mongolists usually take place in Ulaanbaatar every five years but the ninth was brought forward by a year to coincide with the celebration of the 800th anniversary of the ‘founding of the Great Mongolian State’ (Ikh Mongol Uls) by Genghis Khan (Chinggis Khaan). Held from 8 to 12 August 2006, it was dedicated to ‘Mongolian statehood, past and present’. The congress organisers were the International Association for Mongolian Studies, the Mongolian Academy of Sciences and the Mongolian National University, with financial assistance from the Mongolian government and UNESCO.

Education Courses

Globalization affects nations, cultures, and education in multiple ways. Quality of education to a large extent depends on the teacher quality. To reform education and teacher preparation from within is ineffective – first of all, we have to consider effects of the national culture on education, educators, and learners. This chapter offers a comparative study of several nations' cultural characteristics and their impact on education. Many innovative ideas and practices can be learned from advanced international educational systems and adapted to the US schools. For that we should introduce comparative international education courses with a focus on practical applications into every teacher preparation program. The author presents an example of a specialization US Education in Global Context taught at National University.
