Detailed Description of Each Subtitle 1. Understanding Modern Healthcare Beyond Treatment Description: This section introduces the central idea of the research paper. Healthcare should not be viewed merely as diagnosing diseases and prescribing medicines. Modern healthcare involves diagnosis, treatment, communication, education, prevention, rehabilitation, emotional support and follow-up. The section establishes the argument that successful healthcare requires both medical expertise and human-centred care. 2. From Disease-Centred to Patient-Centred Healthcare Description: Traditional healthcare primarily focused on the disease and its treatment. Modern healthcare increasingly considers the patient as a whole person. The section can explain the difference: Traditional approach: Disease → Diagnosis → Treatment Modern approach: Patient → Diagnosis → Treatment → Communication → Support → Follow-up → Prevention The patient's preferences, concerns, values and individual circumstances are considered along with the clinical condition. 3. Challenges in Contemporary Healthcare Delivery Description: This section identifies the major problems that can prevent patients from receiving effective healthcare. These include: Poor communication Lack of awareness Delayed diagnosis Limited accessibility Patient anxiety Medication errors Lack of coordination High healthcare costs Inadequate follow-up Overdependence on technology The section establishes why improving healthcare delivery is necessary. 4. Purpose and Objectives of the Study Description: This section clearly states what the research is trying to discover. The main objective can be: To examine the changing role of healthcare professionals and their contribution to safe, supportive and patient-centred healthcare. Other objectives can include studying: Communication Patient participation Healthcare safety Technology Teamwork Patient education Follow-up care 5. Research Design and Methodological Approach Description: This section explains how the research was developed. For your paper, you can describe it as a qualitative descriptive study based on analysis of the newspaper article/theme and supporting healthcare literature. The methodology can include: Source identification → Literature review → Thematic analysis → Interpretation → Findings → Recommendations This makes the paper look more academically structured. 6. The Expanding Role of Healthcare Professionals Description: This is one of the most important sections. Explain that healthcare professionals have responsibilities beyond simply diagnosing and treating diseases. Their responsibilities include: Diagnosis Treatment Patient education Counselling Communication Monitoring Prevention Rehabilitation Follow-up Patient safety The section can also discuss the roles of: Doctors Nurses Pharmacists Laboratory professionals Physiotherapists Counsellors Other specialists 7. Healthcare Professionals as Partners in Patient Care Description: This section develops the central argument of your paper. A healthcare professional should not be considered merely a service provider. Instead, the professional can act as a partner and guide throughout the patient's healthcare journey. For example: Diagnosis → Explanation → Treatment → Emotional Support → Monitoring → Follow-up This section can discuss trust, empathy, reassurance and continuous support. 8. Communication as a Foundation of Effective Healthcare Description: Communication is one of the most important components of healthcare. A healthcare professional needs to explain: What the condition is Why tests are required Available treatment options Benefits and risks Medication instructions Follow-up requirements Preventive measures Medical terminology should be explained in language that the patient can understand. Key idea: Good medical knowledge becomes more effective when it is communicated clearly to the patient. 9. Putting the Patient at the Centre of Healthcare Description: This section focuses specifically on patient-centred care. Patient-centred healthcare means considering: Patient needs Patient preferences Patient values Patient concerns Patient understanding Patient participation Instead of: Doctor decides → Patient follows the approach becomes: Doctor explains → Patient understands → Options are discussed → Appropriate decision is made This can be connected to shared decision-making. 10. Patient Safety and Quality of Healthcare Description: This section explains why healthcare must not only be effective but also safe. Potential risks include: Medication errors Incorrect patient identification Communication failures

ECCOLA - a Method for Implementing Ethically Aligned AI Systems

Various recent Artificial Intelligence (AI) system failures, some of which have made the global headlines, have highlighted issues in these systems. These failures have resulted in calls for more ethical AI systems that better take into account their effects on various stakeholders. However, implementing AI ethics into practice is still an on-going challenge. High-level guidelines for doing so exist, devised by governments and private organizations alike, but lack practicality for developers. To address this issue, in this paper, we present a method for implementing AI ethics. The method, ECCOLA, has been iteratively developed using a cyclical action design research approach. The method aims at making the high-level AI ethics principles more practical, making it possible for developers to more easily implement them in practice.

AI-powered Code Review with LLMs: Early Results

In this paper, we present a novel approach to improving software quality and efficiency through a Large Language Model (LLM)-based model designed to review code and identify potential issues. Our proposed LLM-based AI agent model is trained on large code repositories. This training includes code reviews, bug reports, and documentation of best practices. It aims to detect code smells, identify potential bugs, provide suggestions for improvement, and optimize the code. Unlike traditional static code analysis tools, our LLM-based AI agent has the ability to predict future potential risks in the code. This supports a dual goal of improving code quality and enhancing developer education by encouraging a deeper understanding of best practices and efficient coding techniques. Furthermore, we explore the model's effectiveness in suggesting improvements that significantly reduce post-release bugs and enhance code review processes, as evidenced by an analysis of developer sentiment toward LLM feedback. For future work, we aim to assess the accuracy and efficiency of LLM-generated documentation updates in comparison to manual methods. This will involve an empirical study focusing on manually conducted code reviews to identify code smells and bugs, alongside an evaluation of best practice documentation, augmented by insights from developer discussions and code reviews. Our goal is to not only refine the accuracy of our LLM-based tool but also to underscore its potential in streamlining the software development lifecycle through proactive code improvement and education.

System for systematic literature review using multiple AI agents: Concept and an empirical evaluation

Systematic literature review (SLR) is foundational to evidence-based research, enabling scholars to identify, classify, and synthesize existing studies to address specific research questions. Conducting an SLR is, however, largely a manual process. In recent years, researchers have made significant progress in automating portions of the SLR pipeline to reduce the effort and time required for high-quality reviews; nevertheless, there remains a lack of AI-agent-based systems that automate the entire SLR workflow. To this end, we introduce a novel multi-AI-agent system designed to fully automate SLRs. Leveraging large language models (LLMs), our system streamlines the review process to enhance efficiency and accuracy. Through a user-friendly interface, researchers specify a topic; the system then generates a search string to retrieve relevant academic papers. Next, an inclusion/exclusion filtering step is applied to titles relevant to the research area. The system subsequently summarizes paper abstracts and retains only those directly related to the field of study. In the final phase, it conducts a thorough analysis of the selected papers with respect to predefined research questions. This paper presents the system, describes its operational framework, and demonstrates how it substantially reduces the time and effort traditionally required for SLRs while maintaining comprehensiveness and precision.

The Key Concepts of Ethics of Artificial Intelligence

The growing influence and decision-making capacities of Autonomous systems and Artificial Intelligence in our lives force us to consider the values embedded in these systems. But how ethics should be implemented into these systems? In this study, the solution is seen on philosophical conceptualization as a framework to form practical implementation model for ethics of AI. To take the first steps on conceptualization main concepts used on the field needs to be identified. A keyword based Systematic Mapping Study (SMS) on the keywords used in AI and ethics was conducted to help in identifying, defying and comparing main concepts used in current AI ethics discourse. Out of 1062 papers retrieved SMS discovered 37 re-occurring keywords in 83 academic papers. We suggest that the focus on finding keywords is the first step in guiding and providing direction for future research in the AI ethics field.
