Special Issue on Causal Inference in Healthcare
by Azzimonti Laura 13 Jun '25

13 Jun '25

Dear all, We are pleased to announce the special issue of the International Journal of Approximate Reasoning titled “Causal Inference in Healthcare”. The deadline for manuscript submission is November 5th, 2025. The widespread availability of real-world data from electronic health records, databases, registries, and digital health tools offers unique opportunities for advancing healthcare. However, extracting actionable insights requires grounded methods that account for bias, confounders, and the complexity of medical and biomedical systems. Causal inference provides a rigorous and robust framework for modelling cause-and-effect relationships, addressing biases and confounding factors and evaluating treatment effects, ultimately enabling personalised decision-making. This special issue seeks contributions exploring innovative applications, methodological advancements, and interdisciplinary perspectives on causality in healthcare, with a focus on utilising evidence from diverse data sources to address critical medical challenges. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Personalised treatment effect estimation. - Causal inference in randomised clinical trials. - Bias identification and mitigation in healthcare studies. - Counterfactual reasoning for clinical prediction. - Counterfactual fairness in healthcare. - Mediation analysis in medical research. Guest editors: - Laura Azzimonti, IDSIA USI-SUPSI, Lugano, Switzerland (laura.azzimonti(a)supsi.ch<mailto:laura.azzimonti@supsi.ch>) - Alessandro Antonucci, IDSIA USI-SUPSI, Lugano, Switzerland (alessandro.antonucci(a)supsi.ch<mailto:alessandro.antonucci@supsi.ch>) Important Dates: - Submission Open Date: May 05, 2025 - Submission Deadline: November 05, 2025 - Notification of Acceptance: March 05, 2026 Manuscripts must be submitted via the International Journal of Approximate Reasoning online submission system (Editorial Manager®). Please select the article type “VSI: Causal Inference in Healthcare” when submitting your manuscript online. Please refer to the Guide for authors to prepare your manuscript. All submitted papers under this call will undergo the journal's standard review process. For any further information, the authors may contact the Guest Editors. We warmly encourage you to submit your work or share this call with colleagues who might be interested.

Seminar Giuseppina GUATTERI
by Antonello Pesce 13 Jun '25

13 Jun '25

Dear all, On JUNE 18th, at the Department of Mathematics of the University of Bologna, room Vitali, and online at this LINK <https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19:meeting_NzYzZTc5ZDgtZjAxYi00ND…>, the following seminar will take place: 11:00-12:00: Giuseppina GUATTERI “MAXIMUM PRINCIPLE FOR OPTIMAL CONTROL PROBLEMS WITH DELAYS IN THE NON CONVEX CASE” as part of the cycle Stochastics and Applications. ABSTRACT: We establish a stochastic maximum principle for controlled stochastic differential equations with delay and control-dependent noise, without convexity assumptions on the control space. The cost functional depends on both present and delayed states, modeled via general finite measures. For measures with square-integrable densities, we employ infinite-dimensional reformulation and BSDE techniques; for general measures, we apply anticipated BSDEs and weak convergence methods. We further analyze the case of delay measures with $L^p$-densities ($p \in (1,2)$), deriving a generalized mild backward equation beyond Hilbertian settings. For any question, please contact the organizers: Elena Bandini (elena.bandini7(a)unibo.it <mailto:elena.bandini7@unibo.it>), Antonello Pesce (antonello.pesce2(a)unibo.it <mailto:antonello.pesce2@unibo.it>)

Mathematics - Special Issue: Mathematical and Computational Modelling in Empirical and Applied Science
by Alberto Lanconelli 12 Jun '25

12 Jun '25

Dear all, this is to bring to your attention the call for papers for a special issue in Mathematics, with title: Mathematical and Computational Modelling in Empirical and Applied Science The deadline for submissions is 31 October 2025. More details can be found at https://www.mdpi.com/journal/mathematics/special_issues/Computational_Model… and below. Best wishes.. Giulia Spaletta, Margherita Carletti, Alberto Lanconelli (Guest Editors) Mathematics an Open Access Journal by MDPI Impact Factor 2.3 CiteScore 4.6 mdpi.com/si/227288 Message from the Guest Editors Life sciences have become central in scientific research over recent years, both for their wide range of advanced applications and for their usefulness in the treatment of complex and/or rare diseases that affect humans. Experimentalists in biology and, more generally, in the natural and applied sciences increasingly look to the simulation methods and tools that mathematicians, statisticians, and computer scientists can offer, in attempts to obtain in-depth information on the physical phenomena in which they are involved. To accomplish this task, modeling is confirmed as an essential step with which to gain insights and acquire knowledge on the phenomena considered, describe the related processes of interest, and make predictions. Contributions are therefore welcome regarding applications of mathematics to real-life situations and, above all, to natural and applied science, particularly computational biology and biotechnology, but also physics and medicine. Also of interest are applications involving complex and/or high-dimensional data or dynamics arising in the social sciences, especially economics devoted to health and lifestyle aspects.
