    Modeling the Relation Between Non-Communicable Diseases and the Health Habits of the Mexican Working Population: A Hybrid Modeling Approach
    (MDPI AG, 2025)
    Domínguez-Miranda, Sergio Arturo
    ;
    ;
    The impact that Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) have on the health status of the population has generated the need for an in-depth analysis of health habits and NCDs. In addition to its significant impact on population health, this phenomenon also translates into substantial economic consequences for countries. This study delves into the analysis of the relationship between health habits and NCDs among the economically active population of Mexico. Through a hybrid approach that integrates the use of machine learning (ML) models and a structural equation model (SEM), we seek to quantify the direct and indirect causal effects between health habits and NCDs. For this study, information from the 2022 National Health and Nutrition Survey carried out in Mexico for the working-age population is used. According to the results obtained in the first stage of analysis using ML, the most relevant variables (health habits) that impact the probability of individuals presenting with NCDs were identified (random forest precision of 78.66% and Lasso with 71.27%). The second stage of analysis through SEM using the most relevant variables, which were selected through ML, allowed us to measure the direct and indirect causal effect of health habits on NCDs. The SEM model was statistically significant (Chi-square: 449.186; p-value = 0.0000) and revealed that negative health habits, such as a poor diet, physical inactivity, smoking and alcohol consumption, significantly increase the risk of NCDs in the working-age population in Mexico (0.23), while vigorous physical activity and salary has a negative impact (−0.17 and −0.23, respectively) on the presence of NCDs. This study highlights the ability of machine learning and SEM approaches to model the impact of health habits on NCDs for the economically active population in Mexico. ©The authors © Mathematics ©MDPI.

    Artificial intelligence (AI) has already played a significant role in the healthcare sector, particularly in image-based medical diagnosis. Deep learning models have produced satisfactory and useful results for accurate decision-making. Among the various types of medical images, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is frequently utilized in deep learning applications to analyze detailed structures and organs in the body, using advanced intelligent software. However, challenges related to performance and data privacy often arise when using medical data from patients and healthcare institutions. To address these issues, new approaches have emerged, such as federated learning. This technique ensures the secure exchange of sensitive patient and institutional data. It enables machine learning or deep learning algorithms to establish a client–server relationship, whereby specific parameters are securely shared between models while maintaining the integrity of the learning tasks being executed. Federated learning has been successfully applied in medical settings, including diagnostic applications involving medical images such as MRI data. This research introduces an analytical intelligence system based on an Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) framework that employs federated learning to provide a safe and effective diagnostic solution for brain tumor identification. By utilizing specific brain MRI datasets, the model enables multiple local capsule networks (CapsNet) to achieve improved classification results. The average accuracy rate of the CapsNet model exceeds 97%. The precision rate indicates that the CapsNet model performs well in accurately predicting true classes. Additionally, the recall findings suggest that this model is effective in detecting the target classes of meningiomas, pituitary tumors, and gliomas. The integration of these components into an analytical intelligence system that supports the work of healthcare personnel is the main contribution of this work. Evaluations have shown that this approach is effective for diagnosing brain tumors while ensuring data privacy and security. Moreover, it represents a valuable tool for enhancing the efficiency of the medical diagnostic process. ©The authors ©MDPI.

    Background: The objective of this work is to estimate the financial impact of increasing the monitoring period for breast cancer, which is financed by the Sistema de Protección Social en Salud (SPSS—Social Protection System in Health). Methods: A micro-simulation model was developed to monitor a cohort of patients with breast cancer, and also an estimation was made on the probability of surviving the monitoring period financed by the SPSS. Using the Monte Carlo simulation, the maximum expected cost was estimated to broaden such monitoring. Morbimortality information of the Ministry of Health and cases of breast cancer treated by the SPSS were used.

    Proposal for a comprehensive environmental key performance index of the green supply chain
    The consideration of environmental objectives in the design of green supply chains creates the need to build a set of key performance indicators for monitoring and control. There is a set of generally accepted environmental indicators for monitoring environmental objectives in the supply chain. However, so far these indicators have been disconnected from the operational and economic indicators of the supply chain. It is important to consider these elements in the integral performance of a green supply chain. The present work is a proposal of a general index of environmental performance that includes operational, financial, and environmental aspects that allow monitoring the integral performance of the supply chain by applying Principal Component Analysis of mixed data. © 2020, Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.

    Domínguez-Miranda, Sergio Arturo
    Noncommunicable diseases are growing worldwide and their impact within organizations affects the productivity of companies. The accelerated pace of life, sedentary lifestyle, eating habits, and lack of self-regulation have deteriorated workers’ health conditions. The Health 4.0 paradigm can help in health prevention and promotion thanks to the use of smart devices and digital tools adaptable to users and companies. Trials from 11 bibliographic databases were consulted and out of a total of 742 articles, 86 were selected that met the selection criteria. There is scientific evidence that supports the use of smart devices in companies focusing on weight control, physical activity, sleep control, and glycemic index to impact the treatment and prevention of noncommunicable diseases such as diabetes, overweight, work stress, cardiovascular diseases, and in lifestyle. Using wearables or smartphones, incentive programs or assistance with specialists have been considered by some researchers; elements such as privacy and information security are essential in the implementation, as well as methods that can maintain the use of these prevention and health promotion programs. More research is necessary regarding the use of smart devices such as the permanence of health initiatives in companies, cost-effectiveness, and real-time analysis, and focus on various pathological conditions for success in prevention and health promotion strategies.

    The global energy transition process has generated a set of modifications in the generation and consumption of energy. Environmental objectives have gained great relevance for regions, countries and companies. The fishing sector has been identified as having a broad environmental impact, which is why the transition to cleaner energy sources in this sector has been considered. One of the proposed strategies is based on the transition from the diesel engines of the ships to the use of liquefied natural gas (LNG), however, this transition requires guaranteeing the supply of fuel as well as the process of reconversion of units in operation and the impulse of LNG gas engines for new units. This work presents a proposal for the design of an LNG gas supply chain for the fishing industry in the State of Tampico in Mexico that allows evaluating the feasibility of the transition from the use of diesel to natural gas in fishing vessels. The main results show the feasibility of the transition in the fuel supply and economic and environmental benefits for the fishing industry. However, there is a significant challenge in converting units in operation to the use of natural gas due to the lack of public policies that promote and support its use in this sector. © Mobile Networks and Applications
