Blockchain and Data Mining are not simply buzzwords, but rather concepts that are playing an important role in the modern Information Technology (IT) revolution. Blockchain has recently been popularized by the rise of cryptocurrencies, while data mining has already been present in IT for many decades. Data stored in a blockchain can also be considered to be big data, whereas data mining methods can be applied to extract knowledge hidden in the blockchain. In a nutshell, this paper presents the interplay of these two research areas. In this paper, we surveyed approaches for the data mining of blockchain data, yet show several real-world applications. Special attention was paid to anomaly detection and fraud detection, which were identified as the most prolific applications of applying data mining methods on blockchain data. The paper concludes with challenges for future investigations of this research area.

In health-care, medical errors are quantified. Among them, wrong dose prescriptions occur. Drug dose titration (DT) is the process by which dosage is progressively adjusted to the patient till a steady dose is reached. Depending on the clinical disease, drug, and patient, dose titration can follow different procedures. Once modeled, these procedures can serve for clinical homogenization, standardization, decision support and retrospective analysis. Here, we propose a language to model dose titration procedures. The language was used to formalize single-drug titration of chronic and acute cases, and perform retrospective analysis of the drug titration processes on 1,000 cases treated with Bisoprolol and 2,430 cases treated with Ramipril, in order to identify different types of drug titration deviations from standard DT methods.

SMEs represent a significant share of business companies in Europe. Their limitations might be overcome by using value chains, resulting in successful development and growth also within traditionally low-digitalized, natural fiber-based domains. Reaching a sustainable competitive advantage for natural fiber-based value chains is possible by boosting the digitalization of the included SMEs. The digitalization level can be improved by properly addressing the detected digitalization issues and challenges. This paper aims at proposing a novel comprehensive approach for assessing the digitalization level of natural fiber-based value chains and the respective SMEs. Using the proposed dimensions, indicators, and corresponding measurement instruments, the digitalization level of a particular SME, as well as of the entire value chain of SMEs can be assessed. The paper additionally depicts a practical demonstration for applying the proposed approach within two case studies. The proposed approach favors low-digitalized SMEs to enter and benefit from the digitalized value chains, as well as provides the benefits and facilitates the growth and sustainability of the existing natural fiber-based value chains.

Students taking a Databases Course have different pre-knowledge of Conceptual Database Modelling. At the beginning of the course, they were asked to self-evaluate their knowledge of database design concepts. We have compared the results of self-evaluation of students with Technical and General High School education, as well as the results they achieved at the final exam. All together 132 students have collaborated in both parts of the survey. The results show that the students with a technical background have a better pre-knowledge of database design constructs, but, on the other hand, received lower results in the exam where the knowledge on Database Modelling was tested.

Online Social Networks are used widely, raising new issues in terms of privacy, trust, and self-disclosure. For a better understanding of these issues for Facebook users, a model was built that includes privacy value, privacy risk, trust, privacy control, privacy concerns, and self-disclosure. A total of 602 respondents participated in an online survey, and structural equation modeling was used to evaluate the model. The findings indicate significant relationships between the constructs in this study. The model from our study contributes new knowledge to privacy issues, trust and self-disclosure on Online Social Networks for other researchers or developers of online social networks.

Blockchain technology is showing its potential to disrupt established business processes. Four types of blockchain initiatives have been identified: Record keeper, efficiency play, digital asset market, and blockchain disruptor. Many different applications have also been emerging within the educational domain, following a student or institution-centric approach. Student-centric solutions simplify the validation process of received credentials, while institution-centric solutions facilitate mainly operational activities of educational institutions. In this paper, we present several use cases addressing different aspects within the educational domain, such as streamlining the process of diploma verification, virtual lifetime learning passport, securing the issued certificates permanently, verifying the accreditation process, automatic recognition of credits, etc. A preliminary review and analysis of identified projects and initiatives show that most of them follow a student-centric approach while facilitating record-keeping.

Medical processes combine medical actions which are performed by health care professionals while they observe signs and symptoms and decide about interventions, prescriptions, or tests, in order to deal with the health problem that affects a particular patient. Our research was centred in the representation of knowledge for the purpose of decision making in medical processes for chronic diseases. In order to achieve this objective, we followed three steps: (1) We performed an analysis and comparison of formal languages for procedural knowledge representation from a decision-making perspective. (2) We proposed an intuitive, easy, and effective mechanism of medical knowledge formalization. And, (3) we defined a methodology to model medical processes. Our new formalism to represent knowledge is called the extended Timed Transition Diagram (eTTD) and can be used to describe three basic levels of decision making in a long-term treatment: therapy strategy, dosage, and intolerances. The methodology can be applied manually to build eTTDs from clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) or automatically to construct them using the information available in clinical records about individual, multi-level medical processes. We validated eTTDs with clinical practice guidelines for arterial hypertension. The obtained models can be used as a baseline framework for medical, procedural decision support systems development.

Blockchain technology enables a decentralized and distributed environment with no need for a central authority. Transactions are simultaneously secure and trustworthy due to the use of cryptographic principles. In recent years, blockchain technology has become very trendy and penetrated different domains, mostly due to the popularity of cryptocurrencies. One field where blockchain technology has tremendous potential is healthcare, due to the need for a more patient-centric approach to healthcare systems and to connect disparate systems and increase the accuracy of electronic healthcare records (EHRs). In this systematic review, an analysis of state-of-the-art blockchain research in the field of healthcare is conducted. The aim is to reveal the potential applications of the technology and to highlight the challenges and possible directions of blockchain research in healthcare. First, background information is discussed, followed by a description of the exact methodology used in this paper. Next, an analysis of the results is given, which includes a bibliometric overview, an analysis of gathered data and its properties, and the results of a literature quality assessment. Lastly, there is a discussion of the results from the analysis. The findings indicate that blockchain technology research in healthcare is increasing and it is mostly used for data sharing, managing health records and access control. Other scenarios are very rare. Most research is aimed at presenting novel structural designs in the form of frameworks, architectures or models. Findings also show that technical details about the used blockchain elements are not given in most of the analyzed publications and that most research does not present any prototype implementation or implementation details. Often even with a prototype implementation, no details about blockchain elements are given.

Blockchain technology enables the creation of a decentralized and distributed environment in which transactions and data are not controlled by a central authority. Simultaneously transactions are secure, ubiquitous and trustworthy due to the used cryptographic principles. In this paper, we present a global decentralized blockchain-based platform and ecosystem called EduCTX. The platform enables managing, assigning and presenting credentials for individuals and educational institutions as well as other potential stakeholders such as companies, institutions and organizations. Further it enables the development of own digital services, which offers organizations the opportunity to automate the evaluation of individuals' skills and knowledge. The EduCTX platform is implemented on the blockchain platform Ethereum on a consortium-based network of Ethereum run nodes. The platform enables a globally efficient, simplified and ubiquitous environment to avoid language and administrative barriers.

Wearable devices have recently received considerable interest due to their great promise for a plethora of applications. Increased research efforts are oriented towards a non-invasive monitoring of human health as well as activity parameters. A wide range of wearable sensors are being developed for real-time non-invasive monitoring. This paper provides a comprehensive review of sensors used in wrist-wearable devices, methods used for the visualization of parameters measured as well as methods used for intelligent analysis of data obtained from wrist-wearable devices. In line with this, the main features of commercial wrist-wearable devices are presented. As a result of this review, a taxonomy of sensors, functionalities, and methods used in non-invasive wrist-wearable devices was assembled.

Experience-based temporal knowledge detected using our algorithms complements the evidence-based knowledge about clinical procedures contained in the CPGs. Our temporal model is simple and highly descriptive when dealing with general or specific time constraints' representations, offering temporal knowledge representation of varying detail. Therefore, it is capable of capturing all the temporal knowledge we can find in medical procedures, when dealing with chronic diseases. With our model and algorithms, an adherence analysis emerges naturally to detect CPG-compliant interventions, but also deviations whose causes and possible rationales can call into question CPG recommendations (e.g., our analysis of AH patients showed that the time between visits recommended by CPGs were too long for a proper drug therapy decision, dosage titration, or general follow-up).

Blockchain technology enables the creation of a decentralized environment where transactions and data are not under the control of any third party organization. Any transaction ever completed is recorded in a public ledger in a verifiable and permanent way. Based on blockchain technology, we propose a global higher education credit platform, named EduCTX. This platform is based on the concept of the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS). It constitutes a globally trusted, decentralized higher education credit and grading system that can offer a globally unified viewpoint for students and higher education institutions (HEIs), as well as for other potential stakeholders such as companies, institutions and organizations. As a proof of concept, we present a prototype implementation of the environment, based on the open-source Ark Blockchain Platform. Based on a globally distributed peer-topeer network, EduCTX will process, manage and control ECTX tokens, which represent credits that students gain for completed courses such as ECTS. HEIs are the peers of the blockchain network. The platform is a first step towards a more transparent and technologically advanced form of higher education systems. The EduCTX platform represents the basis of the EduCTX initiative which anticipates that various HEIs would join forces in order to create a globally efficient, simplified and ubiquitous environment in order to avoid language and administrative barriers. Therefore we invite and encourage HEIs to join the EduCTX initiative and the EduCTX blockchain network.

Relational databases are one of the pillars of information systems and as a consequence conceptual and logical design can be seen as the foundation of almost every application regardless of the platform. Nevertheless, little research has been done so far on the effectiveness of teaching approaches to database basic concepts and design. This paper introduces a multi-level experimental study developed to examine the effectiveness of learning database fundamentals, depending on the notation used for conceptual design. The main experiment was carried out at a higher education institution. We developed different experimental instruments to evaluate the effectiveness of a teaching approach using Barker or Bachman notation for conceptual database design. In contrast to Barker notation, Bachman notation incorporates elements of logical design (i.e. foreign keys) in the conceptual design level. Students? achievements were examined with regard to influencing factors throughout the learning process. Introducing the Bachman notation and a manual transformation from a conceptual into a logical data model, could increase students? understanding of conceptual, logical and relational data model concepts. We found that the notation used during the learning process has an impact on students? achievements. Moreover, students achieved better results when solving tasks presented with a notation that incorporates elements of logical design into the conceptual level. Finally, we required the use of manual transformation from a conceptual into a logical data model and the results confirmed an increase in students? understanding.
