Abstract

[Cancer is the second most common cause of death worldwide and encompasses highly variable clinical and biological scenarios. Some of the current clinical challenges are (i) early diagnosis of the disease and (ii) precision medicine, which allows for treatments targeted to specific clinical cases. The ultimate goal is to optimize the clinical workflow by combining accurate diagnosis with the most suitable therapies. Toward this, large-scale machine learning research can define associations among clinical, imaging, and multi-omics studies, making it possible to provide reliable diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for precision oncology. Such reliable computer-assisted methods (i.e., artificial intelligence) together with clinicians’ unique knowledge can be used to properly handle typical issues in evaluation/quantification procedures (i.e., operator dependence and time-consuming tasks). These technical advances can significantly improve result repeatability in disease diagnosis and guide toward appropriate cancer care. Indeed, the need to apply machine learning and computational intelligence techniques has steadily increased to effectively perform image processing operations—such as segmentation, co-registration, classification, and dimensionality reduction—and multi-omics data integration.]

Abstract

In this paper, the policy implementation of the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) has been widely assessed. Tunisia has been chosen for a case study and its democratisation process has been my primary focus area. First, this paper has touched upon EU relation with Tunisia amid a background of the 2011 Jasmine Revolution, and looked at a snapshot of ENP as well as a brief chronology of Tunisian democratisation process. In this context, I have also assumed that the ENP has played a significant role in the democratic transition in Tunisia, with justifying Tunisia has now become a democratic country more than ever. Next, using the policy implementation framework and modernisation theory, this research answers the question: how has the ENP been implemented in the case of Tunisian democratisation process since the 2011 Jasmine Revolution? Through the review of secondary literature, and investigation of official EU documentations, and commitments of two semi-structured interviews with public officials from EU institutions, this research has analysed specific ENP programmes implemented as outputs of ENP under consideration of top-down approach and discussed it with the findings of interviews, and finally concluded that the ENP has been implemented well to achieve its policy objectives and this correct implementation eventually has contributed to democratisation process in Tunisia so far. Keywords: European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP), policy implementation, top-down approach, ENP output, modernisation, democratisation, the 2011 Jasmine Revolution, Arab Spring, Tunisia, European Union (EU).
