At least four people have been killed and eight others injured after a gunman drove a vehicle into a Michigan church, opened fire and set the building ablaze, police say.Officials said the attack on the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc, a town 60 miles (100km) northwest of Detroit, happened during a Sunday service attended by hundreds of people.The suspect, identified as Thomas Jacob Sanford, 40, from Burton, Michigan, was later shot dead by police in the church car park.Authorities are investigating the incident as an "act of targeted violence", but say the motive remains unclear.&nbsp;Two victims died from gunshot wounds, Grand Blanc Township Police Chief William Renye told a news conference on Sunday.He later said two more people had been found dead and "some" others remained unaccounted for, though he could not say how many. The church was still being "cleared" on Sunday night after suffering extensive fire damage, he said.Chief Renye said "hundreds" of people were attending services at about 10:25 local time (15:25 GMT) when a gunman drove a vehicle into the building.The attacker then opened fire with an assault-style rifle, "firing several rounds at individuals within the church," he said.The police responded immediately to the scene, he said, adding officers "engaged in gunfire with that particular individual, neutralising that suspect". Sanford was killed at 10:33 local time, eight minutes after the shooting."We are still trying to determine exactly when and where the fire ended up coming from and how it got started," the police chief said.The suspect had used an accelerant - most likely gasoline - to start the blaze, authorities said.Chief Renye also praised the "heroism" of churchgoers who he said had sheltered children in the church during the incident.At least four people have been killed and eight others injured after a gunman drove a vehicle into a Michigan church, opened fire and set the building ablaze, police say.Officials said the attack on the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc, a town 60 miles (100km) northwest of Detroit, happened during a Sunday service attended by hundreds of people.The suspect, identified as Thomas Jacob Sanford, 40, from Burton, Michigan, was later shot dead by police in the church car park.Authorities are investigating the incident as an "act of targeted violence", but say the motive remains unclear.&nbsp;Two victims died from gunshot wounds, Grand Blanc Township Police Chief William Renye told a news conference on Sunday.He later said two more people had been found dead and "some" others remained unaccounted for, though he could not say how many.

n April 2024, US Congress passed a bill - signed into law by former President Joe Biden - giving ByteDance nine months to find a US-approved buyer or see TikTok shut down.TikTok called the law "unconstitutional" and claimed that <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c87zp82247yo">censoring its US users</a> would have a "staggering" impact on free speech. It launched several unsuccessful legal challenges.ByteDance insisted it had no plans to sell.

This project aims to develop an integrated approach to control and predict blood glucose levels in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) by combining an insulin delivery method with advanced artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms. The project consists of two main parts: (1) the implementation of an insulin delivery system using a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller, and (2) the utilization of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) data and AI algorithms for predicting future blood glucose levels, a capability beyond the scope of the PID controller. This combined system offers personalized treatment and with prediction capability it can give early warning to medical staff to manage T1D patients more effectively.&nbsp;&nbsp;Introduction:&nbsp;Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a chronic condition characterized by insufficient insulin production, leading to unstable blood glucose levels. Maintaining optimal blood glucose control is crucial for T1D patients to prevent complications and ensure a&nbsp;healthy lifestyle. This project aims to address this challenge by integrating an insulin delivery method and AI-based glucose level prediction.&nbsp;&nbsp;Insulin Delivery System with PID Control:&nbsp;In the first part of the project, an innovative insulin delivery system is introduced. A virtual patient model is employed to simulate real patients’ blood glucose levels. The system utilizes a PID controller to regulate the amount of insulin delivered and achieve optimal blood glucose control. The PID controller is carefully tuned to prioritize the prevention of low blood glucose levels (hypoglycemia) while maintaining a balance to avoid high glucose levels (hyperglycemia), ensuring patient safety.&nbsp;The following graphs show the main concept and result of the first part of the project.&nbsp; <img src="https://strapi.dev.edps.w3btest.com/uploads/sample1_03d4dc0b2d.jpg" alt="sample1.jpg"> AI Prediction Model with CGM Data:&nbsp;The second part of the project focuses on leveraging CGM data and advanced AI algorithms to predict patients’ future blood glucose levels. By using continuous and extensive data provided by CGM, a recurrent neural network (RNN) model is trained to offer alternative predictions and personalized treatment plans for T1D patients. To mitigate the impact of error accumulation over time, the AI model is designed to predict glucose levels within a specific near-future timeframe of approximately 5 to 15 minutes. This narrower prediction window enhances accuracy and reliability, enabling healthcare professionals to make timely interventions and adjustments.&nbsp;The following graphs show the main concept and result of the second part of the project.&nbsp; <img src="https://strapi.dev.edps.w3btest.com/uploads/sample1_2_a3a03726ed.png" alt="sample1.2.png"> Advantages and Implications:&nbsp;The combination of the insulin delivery system with PID control and the AI prediction model provides several significant advantages. Firstly, it facilitates personalized treatment by considering individual variations in insulin requirements and metabolic responses. This approach ensures better glucose control to each patient’s specific needs. Secondly, the system offers early warning signs of high and low blood glucose episodes, enabling medical staff to intervene promptly and prevent potential complications.&nbsp;Conclusion:&nbsp;The Glucose Control Systems with PID Control and AI Prediction project presents an integrated approach to manage blood glucose levels in patients with T1D. By combining an insulin delivery system with PID control and AI prediction using CGM data, the project offers personalized treatment and early warning capabilities, ultimately contributing to improved glucose control and enhanced patient well-being.&nbsp;
