Code Blue II: Your Patient is in Jeopardy

Description: The second annual Code Blue Challenge will take place on February 16th. Code Blue II: Your Patient is in Jeopardy is an opportunity for students in health programs from four different institutions to join together in a challenging learning experience. The goals of this event are (1) to provide healthcare students with an opportunity to become part of an interdisciplinary team that must ‘work together’ in order to demonstrate many of the same skills that are required for collaborative healthcare practice, and (2) to increase public awareness of the healthcare education programs available in the Greater Saint John area.

Teams of four individuals from at least three different health disciplines will compete for scholarships and prizes during a healthcare based game show. Teams will answer skill testing questions from multiple aspects of healthcare education and practice. However, they will not be alone. They can exercise their options to poll the audience, ask an expert, ask a stranger or 50/50, to try to improve their chances. Speed of knowledge is critical to the game; just as speed of critical thinking and action are required to manage real Code Blue emergencies.

Please consider supporting the healthcare students and enjoying a night out complete with some of the scrumptious dessert options for the low cost of $10.

Tickets are available at the door or you can buy them in advance for reserved seating by contacting Judy Armstrong juditha@unbsj.ca or Boon Kek boonkek@unbsj.ca

Computer Science & Applied Statistics Research The Computer Science & Applied Statistics Dept. will host Jonas Laurila Bergman, Dept. CSAS of UNB Saint John, discussing “The SAMBO System for alignment and merging of terminological resources.” Abstract The creation and reuse of thesauri, controlled vocabularies and domain specific ontologies is now commonplace. Many such ontologies contain overlapping information requiring terminology mapping and alignment in order to establish consistent and dependable terminological resources. Alignment and merging of ontologies is an emerging discipline within the field of Semantic Web technology. This presentation will showcase the SAMBO system for alignment and merging of ontologies from the biomedical domain and the Kitamo system for evaluation of different ontology alignment strategies.

Computer Science & Applied Statistics Research Talk The Computer Science & Applied Statistics Dept. will host a research talk with Jake van der Laan, Dept. CSAS at UNB Saint John, discussing “Detecting Online Investment Scams.” Abstract In the last few years, law enforcement agencies in Canada have noted the increased use of websites in the perpetration of investment scams. This observation led to speculation that perhaps there were ways to detect such sites using machine learning and web mining methodologies. This presentation will outline proof of concept system developed to facilitate online fraud detection. Moreover it will address experiences in developing this system, demonstrate its current capabilities and review a number of the challenges encountered in the development of the prototype. A number of examples of successfully identified scam websites will be presented. Future refinement and improvement of the system in the context of the current state of research into website classification and online deception detection will be discussed.
