Integrating social network data into GISystems

ABSTRACT Today, online social media outlets provide new and plentiful sources of data on social networks (SNs) and location-based social networks (LBSNs), i.e., geolocated evidence of connections between individuals. While SNs have been used to show how the magnitude of social connectivity decreases with distance, there are few examples of how to include SNs as layers in a GISystem. If SNs, and thus, interpersonal relationships, could be analyzed in a geographic information system (GIS) setting, we could better model how humans socialize, share information, and form social groups within the complex geographic landscape. Our goal is to facilitate a guide for analyzing SNs (as derived from online social media, telecommunications, surveys, etc.) within geographic space by combining the mature fields of social network analysis (SNA) and GISystems. First, we describe why modeling socialization in geographic space is essential for understanding human behavior. We then outline best practices and techniques for embedding SN nodes and edges in GISystems by introducing terms like ‘social flow’ and ‘anthrospace’, and categorizations for data and spatial aggregation types. Finally, we explore case study vignettes of SNA within GISystems from diverse regions located in Bolivia, China, Côte d’Ivoire, Singapore, the United Kingdom, and the United States, using concepts such as geolocated dyads, ego–alter relationships, node feature roles, modularity, and network transitivity.
Cutting Edge: IFN-Inducible ELR− CXC Chemokines Display Defensin-Like Antimicrobial Activity1

Recent reports highlighted the chemotactic activities of antimicrobial peptide defensins whose structure, charge, and size resemble chemokines. By assaying representative members of the four known families of chemokines we explored the obverse: whether some chemokines exert antimicrobial activity. In a radial diffusion assay, only recombinant monokine induced by IFN-γ (MIG/CXCL9), IFN-γ-inducible protein of 10 kDa (IP-10/CXCL10), and IFN-inducible T cell α chemoattractant (I-TAC/CXCL11), members of the IFN-γ-inducible tripeptide motif Glu-Leu-Arg (ELR)− CXC chemokines, were antimicrobial against Escherichia coli and Listeria monocytogenes. Similar to human defensins, antimicrobial activities of the chemokines were inhibited by 50 and 100 mM NaCl. The concentration of MIG/CXCL9 and IP-10/CXCL10 released from IFN-γ-stimulated PBMC in 24 h were, respectively, 35- and 28-fold higher than from unstimulated cells. Additionally, the amounts of chemokines released per monocyte suggest that, in tissues with mononuclear cell infiltration, IFN-γ-inducible chemokines may reach concentrations necessary for microbicidal activity. IFN-γ-inducible chemokines may directly inactivate microbes before attracting other host defense cells to the area of infection.
Detection of Healthcare Bubbles in Iran: a Left-Tailed Augmented Dickey-Fuller (LTADF) Approach

Healthcare bubbles can cause instability in healthcare system. This study investigates the possibility of single and multiple healthcare bubbles in Iran healthcare market. We applied ADF, SADF and GSADF methods of Left-Tailed Augmented Dickey-Fuller to locate single and multiple healthcare bubble episodes. In particular, this study focuses on the explosive behavior of the pharmaceutical products indicator in the Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE) from November 2008 to August 2017. Our results show that the Iran healthcare market has experienced 8 bubbles over the period of 2008-2017, some of which are single, and others are multiple. The first bubble has occurred in June 2010. Other healthcare bubbles have appeared from 2011 until August 2014. However, the seventh bubble appears two years later in August 2016. The peak in healthcare bubbles can be seen in March to April in 2013. Healthcare policymakers should monitor the market to recognize the bubbles so that they can mitigate the consequences of the bubble in the market and orient the prices of medical and pharmaceutical commodities

Gaining and Losing Health Insurance: Strengthening the Evidence for Effects on Access to Care and Health Outcomes

This study uses longitudinal data to examine the consequences of losing and gaining health insurance coverage for access to care and health. For both Medicaid and privately insured persons, compared with those who remained insured, persons losing coverage over a 2-year period were more likely to lack a usual source of care, encounter difficulty in obtaining medical care, be very dissatisfied with ability to obtain needed care, and report no physician visits in the previous 12 months. Uninsured people who gained coverage showed improvement across all indicators of access, in contrast to those who remained without insurance. The effects of changes in coverage on health were in the same direction as those for access, but did not reach statistical significance. This study strengthens the evidence that health insurance coverage has a substantial impact on ability to gain access to medical care and may affect health status.
Breakfast and the diets of Australian adults: An analysis of data from the 1995 National Nutrition Survey

The aim of this study was to describe the nutrients provided to Australian adults by the breakfast meal and to compare the food and nutrient intakes and health of regular breakfast eaters and breakfast skippers. The Australian Bureau of Statistics was commissioned to undertake additional analysis of data collected in the 1995 Australian National Nutrition Survey (NNS). The survey included 24-h recalls, physical measurements and a food habits questionnaire collected during the period February 1995–March 1996, with a nationally representative sample of 10,851 Australians aged 19 years and older. The median nutrient intakes at breakfast and the proportion of the daily total contributed by breakfast were calculated. Differences between regular breakfast eaters and breakfast skippers in terms of nutrient intake, body mass index and health status were compared using Student t-tests. The findings show the typical Australian breakfast was low in fat, high in carbohydrate and a good source of thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, calcium and magnesium. In the NNS regular breakfast eaters had more adequate diets overall, particularly those aged 65+ years. People who did not eat breakfast cereal were much more likely to have inadequate nutrient intakes, especially of thiamin, riboflavin, calcium, magnesium and iron. Regular breakfast eaters were more likely to rate their health as excellent or good than those who skip breakfast, but there was no difference between the fat intake or the body mass index of regular breakfast eaters compared with breakfast skippers. Regular breakfast consumption is associated with better diets for adults overall.
Tibial condylar fractures. Impairment of knee joint stability as an indication for surgical treatment.

In a series of 260 fractures of one or both tibial condyles, the main indication for surgical treatment was clinical evidence of instability of the extended knee joint. Forty-four per cent of the patients were treated either by closed traction-reduction and internal fixation using a wire loop or by open reconstruction of the joint surface using autogenous bone grafts. Follow-up of 78 per cent of the patients revealed that 87 per cent of them had an acceptable knee function. Post-traumatic osteoarthritis was found in 17 per cent. The relationship between end results and factors such as age, sex, type of fracture, instability, angular deviation, and local deformity of the joint surface is evaluated. The principal factors that led to bad results were residual instability and malalignment.
The Impact of Stock Split on the Performance in Indonesian Manufacturing Companies

The stock performance used in this research was trading volume activity, bid-ask spread, and abnormal return in five days before and five days after the stock split. Data analysis method used was quantitative method by using SPSS 21 with the Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality test, paired sample t-test, and Wilcoxon test. The findings indicate that stock split does not affect the trading volume activity, bid-ask spread, and abnormal return.
Reporting standards for endovascular repair of saccular intracranial cerebral aneurysms.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The goal of this article is to provide consensus recommendations for reporting standards, terminology, and written definitions when reporting on the radiological evaluation and endovascular treatment of intracranial, cerebral aneurysms. These criteria can be used to design clinical trials, to provide uniformity of definitions for appropriate selection and stratification of patients, and to allow analysis and meta-analysis of reported data. METHODS This article was written under the auspices of the Joint Writing Group of the Technology Assessment Committee, Society of NeuroInterventional Surgery, Society of Interventional Radiology; Joint Section on Cerebrovascular Neurosurgery of the American Association of Neurological Surgeons and Congress of Neurological Surgeons; and Section of Stroke and Interventional Neurology of the American Academy of Neurology. A computerized search of the National Library of Medicine database of literature (PubMed) from January 1991 to December 2007 was conducted with the goal to identify published endovascular cerebrovascular interventional data about the assessment and endovascular treatment of cerebral aneurysms useful as benchmarks for quality assessment. We sought to identify those risk adjustment variables that affect the likelihood of success and complications. This article offers the rationale for different clinical and technical considerations that may be important during the design of clinical trials for endovascular treatment of cerebral aneurysms. Included in this guidance article are suggestions for uniform reporting standards for such trials. These definitions and standards are primarily intended for research purposes; however, they should also be helpful in clinical practice and applicable to all publications. CONCLUSIONS The evaluation and treatment of brain aneurysms often involve multiple medical specialties. Recent reviews by the American Heart Association have surveyed the medical literature to develop guidelines for the clinical management of ruptured and unruptured cerebral aneurysms. Despite efforts to synthesize existing knowledge on cerebral aneurysm evaluation and treatment, significant inconsistencies remain in nomenclature and definition for research and reporting purposes. These operational definitions were selected by consensus of a multidisciplinary writing group to provide consistency for reporting on imaging in clinical trials and observational studies involving cerebral aneurysms. These definitions should help different groups to publish results that are directly comparable.
Rapid assessment of avoidable blindness and diabetic retinopathy in Taif, Saudi Arabia

Background/aims To estimate the prevalence of blindness, diabetes and diabetic retinopathy (DR) in Taif, Saudi Arabia using the Rapid Assessment of Avoidable Blindness (RAAB) framework. Methods 66 clusters of 50 people aged ≥50 years were randomly selected. Participants underwent visual acuity measurement and examination by an ophthalmologist. DR among diabetic participants (previous diagnosis and/or random blood glucose >200 mg/dl) was assessed through dilated fundus examination by an ophthalmologist using a direct and indirect ophthalmoscope (‘clinical examination’) and dilated digital fundus photographs graded by a retinal specialist following the Scottish DR grading system (‘reference standard’). Results 3052 (93%) out of 3300 eligible people were examined. The prevalence of blindness was 2.6% (95% CI 2.0% to 3.2%). Posterior segment diseases (44%) and cataract (41%) were the leading causes of blindness. The estimated prevalence of diabetes was 29.7% (28.1% to 31.4%), among whom the prevalence of DR was 36.8% (33.3% to 40.2%) and sight-threatening DR (STDR) was 17.5% (CI 15.1% to 20.0%). Agreement was good (κ>0.6) between the clinical examination and reference standard for any DR and STDR. Conclusions There was a high prevalence of diabetes, DR and STDR. It was possible to assess diabetes and DR within RAAB but it increased the survey duration, cost and complexity.
A simple method to determine power-dissipation dependent thermal resistance for GaN HEMTs

A simple method to determine the power dissipation dependent thermal resistance and the junction temperature of a power AlGaN/GaN HEMT proposed. The method is based on a rigorous mathematical treatment of the nonlinear characteristics of thermal resistance. It is hence suitable for modeling of transistors operating at any power densities. This method has been verified by an accurate predicting of junction temperature of an 8×80µm×0. 3µm AlGaN/GaN HEMT, fabricated with an in-house AlGaN/GaN HEMTs technology.
Enigmatic morphological disparity in tarsometatarsi of giant penguins from the Eocene of Antarctica

The only record of the Paleogene Antarctic Sphenisciformes comes from the Eocene La Meseta Formation (Seymour Island, Antarctic Peninsula). The analysis of tarso− metatarsi attributed to the genus Anthropornis ("giant" penguins) from the Argentine, Pol− ish and Swedish collections revealed an intriguing heterogeneity within these taxonomi− cally important elements of the skeleton. The unique hypotarsal morphology challenges the current systematics of large−bodied penguins and sheds new light on their evolution.
Innovative characterization techniques for ultra-scaled FinFETs

This paper describes the first single impurity metrology study and the first experimental study of the behavior of the active cross-section area in function of VG for undoped FinFETs. From one side we show how we can identify chemical species, electric field and position for a donor present in the channel of a doped FinFET. From another side, for the undoped devices, we propose a mechanism of inversion of the bands from flat band to band bending in the interface regions respectively, all as a function of VG. By doing these we have confirmed the possibility that a combination of low temperature measurements and TB simulation techniques can be used to investigate transport in nano-scale FET devices. We have furthermore also given some answers to the fundamental technological question on how to obtain the best FinFET geometry for electronic functionalities.
Antibiotic resistance in Salmonella Enteritidis isolated from broiler carcasses

Eighty Salmonella Enteritidis strains isolated from broiler carcasses between May 1995 and April 1996 in the State of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, were tested for antibiotic susceptibility using the disk diffusion method. Resistance to colistin, novobiocin, erythromycin and tetracycline was observed in 100% of the isolates. The strains showed intermediate resistance at different levels to kanamycin (1.25%), enrofloxacin (3.75%), neomycin (3.75%), fosfomycin (20%), sulphonamides (86.25%) and nitrofurantoin (90%). Resistance to ciprofloxacin, norfloxacin, gentamicin, polymyxin B, sulphametrim and sulphazotrim was not found. Since resistance to antibiotics especially those introduced in the last decades, was detected, it is recommended that their use must be based on the results of resistance tests or minimum inhibitory concentration tests.
The relationship between the dimensions of the internal auditory canal and the anomalies of the vestibulocochlear nerve.

BACKGROUND Internal auditory canal (IAC) stenosis and vestibulocochlear nerve (VCN) abnormalities have been reported to be associated with sensorineural hearing loss. Previous studies classified the normal dimensions of the IAC and its anomalies with no consideration of the VCN. Other studies categorised the VCN development in only stenotic canals. In the present study, an anatomical classification of the normal dimensions of the IAC and its anomalies and their association with malformations of the VCN and its subdivisions were described. MATERIALS AND METHODS Retrospective review was undertaken for children ranged from 1 to 10 years. A total of 764 canals were investigated for pre-operative assessment of cochlear implantation. Other 100 canals of normal hearing ears were included as the control group. The maximum anteroposterior diameter, considered the width of the canal, was measured in axial plane and the length of the canal was identified in coronal plane. The canals were categorised normal: if they are from 3 to 8 mm, patulous: if they are more than 8 mm, stenotic: if they are less than 3 mm and atretic if absent, using multislice computed tomography. The VCN trunks and their subdivisions were investigated using magnetic resonance imaging. RESULTS Internal auditory canals were found normal in 66% with a mean width: 5.27 ± ± 0.68, patulous in 17% with a mean width 113% more than that of the control group (p = 0.000), stenotic in 13% with a mean width 73% less as compared to that of the control group (p = 0.000) and atretic in 4% of the experimental canals. The VCN trunks were found normal with well-developed subdivisions in 77.8% of the normal canals, 98.4% of the patulous canals, and 19.2% of the stenotic canals. The VCN trunks were normal with hypoplastic subdivisions in 11.3% of the normal canals, 1.6% in the patulous canals, and 61.6% in the stenotic canals with a mean width 52% less than that of the normal trunk with developed subdivisions. Hypoplastic VCN trunks with absent subdivisions were reported in 7.3% of the normal canals, 11.1% of the stenotic canals and in 3.2% of the atretic canals. The VCN trunks were not found in 3.6% of the normal canals, in 8.1% of the stenotic canals and in 96.8% of the atretic canals. CONCLUSIONS Internal auditory canal formation was dependent on the process of development and growth of the eighth cranial nerve and its subdivisions that greatly affected the completion of IAC canalisation. This paper could serve as a reference providing a quantitative classification of the relationship between the dimensions of the IAC and the development of the VCN trunk and its subdivisions.
Analysis of Leadership Perceptions, Skills and Traits as Perceived by Agribusiness and Industry Professionals

Leadership continues to be an important topic in both the agricultural industry and agricultural education discipline. This study focused on identifying to what degree individual leadership perceptions, skills and traits should be emphasized when preparing college graduates for the agribusiness profession. Participants included employers at University of Minnesota and Iowa State University agriculture career fairs and members of the Minnesota Teacher Induction Program business network. Participants agreed that effective leaders are open to change (M=3.48), effective listeners (M=3.49), knowledgeable about their technical field (M=3.23), can be trusted (M=3.18) and are team players (M=3.17). According these agribusiness professionals, the five most important leadership skills are being accountable (M=3.78), taking responsibility (M=3.75), communicating (M=3.73), learning (M=3.58) and adapting to change (M=3.61); and the five most influential leadership traits are honesty (M=3.71), positive attitude (M=3.71), trustworthiness (M=3.66), self-confidence (M=3.60) and dependability (M=3.60). These findings, like previous studies, confirmed that leadership qualities continue to be invaluable as businesses and organizations develop in a complex global economy and these qualities are equally important in agribusiness. An ongoing connection and exchange of leadership knowledge and resources among colleges of agriculture and agribusiness professionals ensures that future agricultural leaders leave college well prepared for leadership challenges and opportunities in the workplace.
