AbstractPurposeIn this contribution, we want to detect the document type profiles of the three prestigious journals Nature, Science, and Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States (PNAS) with regard to two levels: journal and country.Design/methodology/approachUsing relative values based on fractional counting, we investigate the distribution of publications across document types at both the journal and country level, and we use (cosine) document type profile similarity values to compare pairs of publication years within countries.FindingsNature and Science mainly publish Editorial Material, Article, News Item and Letter, whereas the publications of PNAS are heavily concentrated on Article. The shares of Article for Nature and Science are decreasing slightly from 1999 to 2014, while the corresponding shares of Editorial Material are increasing. Most studied countries focus on Article and Letter in Nature, but on Letter in Science and PNAS. The document type profiles of some of the studied countries change to a relatively large extent over publication years.Research limitationsThe main limitation of this research concerns the Web of Science classification of publications into document types. Since the analysis of the paper is based on document types of Web of Science, the classification in question is not free from errors, and the accuracy of the analysis might be affected.Practical implicationsResults show that Nature and Science are quite diversified with regard to document types. In bibliometric assessments, where publications in Nature and Science play a role, other document types than Article and Review might therefore be taken into account.Originality/valueResults highlight the importance of other document types than Article and Review in Nature and Science. Large differences are also found when comparing the country document type profiles of the three journals with the corresponding profiles in all Web of Science journals.

Introduction. Telerehabilitation is a complex of rehabilitation exercises and training programs provided to the patient remotely using telecommunication computer technologies, mainly at the outpatient stage of treatment. Telerehabilitation must be accompanied by appropriate software. The purpose of the work. To give an idea of the high-tech platform for telerehabilitation, which is being created at the Institute of Cybernetics named after V. M. Glushkov National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. Methods. Work is being carried out under a project of the National Research Foundation of Ukraine, which is called «Transdisciplinary Intelligent Information and Analytical System for Supporting Rehabilitation Processes in a Pandemic (TISP)». The peculiarity of the system is that it is based on knowledge-oriented technology, ontological engineering and trans-disciplinary paradigm. The cognitive services of the system implement structuring. and classification. information, synthesize the necessary documents based on semantic analysis, identify the characteristic properties of information processes and provide support for decision-making at all stages of their life cycle. Results. The absence of specialized scales for functional assessment of the cardiorespiratory system, suitable for use during telereha-bilitation, was revealed. The proposed technology of objective functional assessment of the patient at home, based on the use of several portable devices and an innovative system for scaling small ECG changes. The technology was tested in the process of rehabilitation of patients with PTSD in the Center for Psychological Counseling and Trauma Therapy «Open Doors» as a means of control in the process of psychodiagnostics and psychotherapy. Conclusion. 1. Telerehabilitation is the most modern type of rehabilitation, which is rapidly developing. 2. The V. M. Glushkov Insti-tute of Cybernetics of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine is creating a transdisciplinary intelligent information and analytical system for supporting rehabilitation processes in a pandemic (TISP), based on cognitive information technology, which fully provides the process of analyzing large volumes of information resources. 3. The technology of objective functional assessment of a patient at home, based on the use of portable devices and an original ECG scaling system, is an important component of telerehabilitation. Key words: Telerehabilitation; Novel coronavirus disease COVID-19; Post-traumatic stress disorder; Intelligent information and analytical system; Functional assessment; Scaling of the electrocardiogram and heart rate variability.

The experience of the use of applied containerized biomedical software tools in cloud environment is summarized. The reproducibility of scientific computing in relation with modern technologies of scientific calculations is discussed. The main approaches to biomedical data preprocessing and integration in the framework of the intelligent analytical system are described. At the conditions of pandemic, the success of health care system depends significantly on the regular implementation of effective research tools and population monitoring. The earlier the risks of disease can be identified, the more effective process of preventive measures or treatments can be. This publication is about the creation of a prototype for such a tool within the project «Development of methods, algorithms and intelligent analytical system for processing and analysis of heterogeneous clinical and biomedical data to improve the diagnosis of complex diseases» (M/99-2019, M/37-2020 with support of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine), implementted by the V.M. Glushkov Institute of Cybernetics, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, together with the United Institute of Informatics Problems, National Academy of Sciences of Belarus (F19UKRG-005 with support of the Belarussian Republican Foundation for Fundamental Research). The insurers, entering the market, can insure mostly low risks by facilitating more frequent changes of insurers by consumers (policyholders) and mixing the overall health insurance market. Socio-demographic variables can be risk adjusters. Since age and gender have a relatively small explanatory power, other socio-demographic variables were studied – marital status, retirement status, disability status, educational level, income level. Because insurers have an interest in beneficial diagnoses for their policyholders, they are also interested in the ability to interpret relevant information – upcoding: insurers can encourage their policyholders to consult with doctors more often to select as many diagnoses as possible. Many countries and health care systems use diagnostic information to determine the reimbursement to a service provider, revealing the necessary data. For processing and analysis of these data, software implementations of construction for classifiers, allocation of informative features, processing of heterogeneous medical and biological variables for carrying out scientific research in the field of clinical medicine are developed. The experience of the use of applied containerized biomedical software tools in cloud environment is summarized. The reproducibility of scientific computing in relation with modern technologies of scientific calculations is discussed. Particularly, attention is paid to containerization of biomedical applications (Docker, Singularity containerization technology), this permits to get reproducibility of the conditions in which the calculations took place (invariability of software including software and libraries), technologies of software pipelining of calculations, that allows to organize flow calculations, and technologies for parameterization of software environment, that allows to reproduce, if necessary, an identical computing environment. The main approaches to biomedical data preprocessing and integration in the framework of the intelligent analytical system are described. The experience of using the developed linear classifier, gained during its testing on artificial and real data, allows us to conclude about several advantages provided by the containerized form of the created application: it permits to provide access to real data located in cloud environment; it is possible to perform calculations to solve research problems on cloud resources both with the help of developed tools and with the help of cloud services; such a form of research organization makes numerical experiments reproducible, i.e. any other researcher can compare the results of their developments on specific data that have already been studied by others, in order to verify the conclusions and technical feasibility of new results; there exists a universal opportunity to use the developed tools on technical devices of various classes from a personal computer to powerful cluster.
