This paper discusses the importance of DNA damage and repair in the genesis and progression of cancer. When DNA is damaged, the number of mutations grows, necessitating DNA repair mechanism. DNA Polymerase Beta (POLB) is a critical enzyme in the base excision repair mechanism. The mechanism preserves the genome and ensures genomic stability. Also, Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) may alter the capability of DNA repair. In this study we investigate bioinformatics feature extraction tools to build a profile of each SNP. The output will be evaluated by machine learning algorithms to predict whether a new SNP will develop cancer or not.

This paper addresses the fulfillment and delivery problem in the e-commerce distribution network. We focus on a retailer with an eCommerce platform and a network of physical stores. We present the online fulfillment and delivery problem as a mixed integer programming model that captures the multiitem features of online retailing in a multi-commodity network flow structure. Although the mixed integer formulation is defined for the set of online orders placed over time, we only solve the problem for a single order. We propose variable neighborhood search (VNS) metaheuristics to solve the formulation and provide results of computational experiments based on randomly generated instances. Although the VNS approach can produce a solution faster than the time required by the gurobi optimizer to solve the MIP, the gap between the VNS solution and the optimal solution still leaves much room for improvement.

The need for improved quality of care, specifically better patient experiences in mental health, has influenced a shift towards using a market-driven strategy that relies on patient experience surveys as indicators and tools for quality improvement. Different countries, including Sweden, the UK, the U.S. and Australia, use various patient-reported experience measures for mental health care, most of which vary in content, scope, and psychometric robustness . These countries also demand that healthcare institutions conduct annual surveys for patient experience in all departments, including mental care. Due to the numerous challenges that decision-makers face in the quality improvement process, understanding the domains that influence patient experience and the correlations between them are required. In response, this project aims to investigate the interconnections between domains in UK National Health Service patients’ experience of mental health services. The outcomes could help decision-makers in the mental health sector improve the quality of care provided.
