Emidec: A Database Usable for the Automatic Evaluation of Myocardial Infarction from Delayed-Enhancement Cardiac MRI

Abstract: One crucial parameter to evaluate the state of the heart after myocardial infarction (MI) is the viability of the myocardial segment, i.e., if the segment recovers its functionality upon revascularization. MRI performed several minutes after the injection of a contrast agent (delayed enhancement-MRI or DE-MRI) is a method of choice to evaluate the extent of MI, and by extension, to assess viable tissues after an injury. The Emidec dataset is composed of a series of exams with DE-MR images in short axis orientation covering the left ventricle from normal cases or patients with myocardial infarction, with the contouring of the myocardium and diseased areas (if present) from experts in the domains. Moreover, classical available clinical parameters when the patient is managed by an emergency department are provided for each case. To the best of our knowledge, the Emidec dataset is the first one where annotated DE-MRI are combined with clinical characteristics of the patient, allowing the development of methodologies for exam classification as for exam quantification.

Does adoption of ISO 56002-2019 and green innovation reporting enhance the firm sustainable development goal performance? An emerging paradigm

Abstract: Reporting is a means of communication for companies to their respective stakeholders. The literature on non-financial reporting has mostly focused on operational, Carbon Discloser Project (CDP), and environmental disclosure to firm performance. This reporting and disclosure approach adopted by companies in their sustainability practices appears to be a normative approach. However, there has been a growing demand by stakeholders to incorporate proactive approach in business activities. To meet that, green innovation practices (GIPs) has been integrated as a new element in environmental reporting, thereby reflecting the proactiveness of companies in their adoption of green innovation reporting (GIR). The objective of this study is to advocate for greater disclosure on sustainability reporting by incorporating the GIPs of companies and substantial, sustainable development goal contribution, along with the moderation of the newly upgraded ISO 56002-2019 innovation management system. Adoption of green innovation reporting and ISO 56002-2019 will enhance the level of transparency of business activities and create greater stakeholder confidence along with enhancing the firm's sustainable development of goal performance. Furthermore, an extensive literature review was undertaken to create a GIR framework (i.e., product, process, service and technology) for firms to integrate GIPs into sustainability reporting. The conceptual model proposed the adoption of green innovation reporting and ISO 56002-2019 innovation management system to firm sustainable development goal. This needs to be injected into the sustainable reporting of companies to reflect their innovativeness, actual sustainable business practices and sustainable development goal performance for the firm.

A new era of sustainable transport: An experimental examination on forecasting adoption behavior of EVs among Malaysian consumer

Abstract: The new global era of economy faced obstacle due to carbon emission. The main reason behind this intensification of crises is caused by the transportation sector, as million petroleum based vehicle are waging on the street day and day which initiated carbon emission. The Malaysian government also faced major problem due to this C02 emission. Because Malaysia is considered as major energy efficient nation. With the aim of obstructing these susceptibilities and endorse a more sustainable economy, the main solution is to change from Petroleum-based vehicles by using green vehicle innovation. Using, Electric Vehicles (EVs) have the probable to lessen the carbon emission, gasoline consumption in order to alleviate the environmental problem. Subsequently, the idea of this paper is to scrutinize whether attitudes (ATT) towards EV adoption by integrating three dimensions of attitude along with the theory of planned behavior the study suggests an assimilated model. A sample of 391 respondent has been collected from Malaysia in order to forecast the customer’s purchase intention to adopt EV by using the extended theory of planned behavior. The empirical outcome by using PLS investigation exposed the three dimension of attitude have a significant effect to build attitude. Finally, the finding of this survey questionnaire is analyzed by using Smart PLS to perform CFA and SEM. The outcome of this research specifies that ecological significance and individual preference.
