This presentation explains how to use newspapers and online news in research. It highlights why students should use news but why they should be careful of issues such as bias. This presentation shows the sources that are available for searching newspaper archives, both at Goldsmiths and outside, as well as where to find video news online.

For MEDITECH system administrators that are new to the Data Repository (DR), you may have found yourself scratching your head if you haven’t supported Microsoft SQL Server before. Database backups? Index maintenance? Transaction log files? We’ve got you covered in this session, where we’ll teach you the basics of database administration, especially as they apply to the unique database design of MEDITECH’s DR. We’ll look at routine DBA best practices, including how to manage security and basic database maintenance. We’ll also review optimal DR server configuration according to MEDITECH guidelines , as well as ways to intelligently manage routine tasks like index defragmentation and disk space and database capacity planning. If you’re a DR system administrator and want to learn more about managing your SQL Server databases, come to this informative session.

Theory to consider an inaccurate testing and how to determine the prior proba...Toshiyuki Shimono
I presented a mathematical theory on a medical testing method. This fundamental theory can be taken account of both cases when the resource of the testing is limited or not. One implication is that "negative proof" may not function well, and another implication is that excessively high specificity and accuracy are required for meaningful diagnosis unless the careful usage of the diagnosis is considered.

To Make Graphs Such as Scatter Plots Numerically Readable (PacificVis 2018, K...Toshiyuki Shimono
Different-sized discrete crosses placed in an organized lattice pattern can assist the human eyes to read numerical values on statistical graphs, enabling more precise interpretation and enlarging the utility of statistical graphs that visually represent numerical quantities. This paper presents a novel graph-plotting method that places roughly ten thousand of separated grids on a graph, providing human data analysis with an easy access to arbitrary numerical readouts from a statistical graph. At present, this functionality has been lacking in the existing graph-plotting softwares.
