Semi-supervised sentiment analysis of consumer reviews

Background: Consumer transactions and individual's online information exchange streams hold within them an enormous amount of data that is large in volume, velocity of generation, and variety. Motivation: Extracting information and trends from these data is a valuable asset in getting a better understanding of consumer's activities and preferences to guide future decision-making. Consequently, analyzing customer reviews through sentiment analysis classification is increasingly growing in interest. However, the resources and lexicons available to aid the classification learning are still scarce. Aim: The present research presents a domain-specific lexicon, enhancing the analysis intelligence of customer reviews on services. The Lexicon for Sentiment Analysis for Reviews (LSAR) is applied using semi-supervised SVM classification. Results: Results were encouraging, showing that the classifier based on the proposed lexicon, LSAR achieved better accuracy 0.94 compared to 0.72 for the AFINN-based classifier.
Pitfalls to avoid when treating patients with metastatic bone disease

The surgical management of patients with impending or realized pathologic fractures is fraught with multiple potential pitfalls. Many of these are unique to patients with metastatic bone disease and therefore warrant additional attention. An ordered systemic preoperative evaluation helps to prevent diagnostic omissions. A whole body bone scan and subsequent radiographic evaluation of all active lesions allows the identification of additional sites of concern that were not apparent on presentation. Determination of the tissue of origin, which is typically made with a thorough diagnostic evaluation, has implications for perioperative management and projected patient longevity that may influence operative planning. Before surgical intervention a histologic confirmation of metastatic disease must be obtained to prevent incidental intervention for a nonmetastatic lesion. Lastly, serum calcium levels should be assessed to rule out malignancy-associated hypercalcemia, a potentially fatal complication with nonspecific symptoms and an indolent progression. Both skeletal disease burden and projected patient longevity may influence whether skeletal fixation or arthroplasty is performed. Regardless of which modality is employed, a few general principles are constant. Surgical intervention should provide a durable reconstruction that allows immediate weight bearing and whose success is independent of osseous healing, which is unlikely to occur. As standard practice, long-stem, full-length implants are used to prophylactically splint the uninvolved segments of the operated bone, protecting against further disease progression. Optimal postoperative management requires use of localized and systemic therapies to limit metastatic disease progression and improve patient outcomes.
A Mathematical Formalism for Linguistic Theories with an Application in Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar

ordinary feature structures of Pollard 1989 and Pollard and Moshier 1990. As one would intuitively expect, the 87 abstract feature structures that correspond to the two 87 concrete feature structures that illustrate morphisms in (3) stand in the 87 abstract feature structure subsumption relation. I will presently summarize the mathematical results that confirm the intuition that this correspondence between concrete feature structure subsumption and abstract feature subsumption always holds.

Cheiloscopy for sex determination: A study

Objective: To find out the possibility of sex determination of an individual using lip prints. Materials and Methods: A total of 40 patients (20 males and 20 females) of the age group 20-30 years were included in this study. Lip impressions were made using lipstick, cellophane tape, and white bond paper. Tsuchihashi′s classification of lip prints was used for analysis using magnifying glass. Results: The analysis revealed that 12 females (60%) and 15 males (75%) were identified correctly with the lip prints. Type III pattern was predominant in males and Type I/I′ pattern was predominant in females. Conclusion: Our study demonstrates the potential use of lip prints for sex determination in forensic dentistry, as they are unique to every individual.
Are Today’s Mother Aware Enough About Breast Feeding?: A Knowledge, Attitude and Practice Study on Urban Mothers -

Background: Breastfeeding is a widespread practice in though out India. However it has been changing over the years, particularly in the past few decades. We need to keep exploring Knowledge and practices of mother regarding breast feeding for timely intervention and maintenance of his valuable age old practice. Objective: This study was aimed to explore mother’s knowledge, attitude and practice regarding breastfeeding. Methods: By using pre tested questioner, 200 mother delivered in last one year were interviewed to obtain information regarding knowledge, Attitude and practice of breast feeding. The study was conducted in area served by an Urban Health Clinic. Result: Knowledge on proper breast feeding technique was found inadequate in study participants. Only 10% women were aware about intitiation of breast feeding within half hour of delivery. Benefits of colostrums, importance of exclusive breast feeding and benefits of night feeding were known to 25%, 15% and 15% mothers respectively. Less than half (41.4%) mother had started breast feeding within half hour of birth while 15% were practicing exclusive breast feeding. Attachment and positioning techniques of 60% mother were found improper. None of the mother interviewed in the study got counseling on breast feeding during ANC visits. Conclusion: Harmful socio-cultural practices like giving prelacteal feeds, delayed initiation of breastfeeding after birth, late introduction of weaning foods and avoidance of exclusive breastfeeding are still common among the mothers.
Determinants of patient satisfaction with the medical consultation

Abstract This study assessed patient satisfaction with the medical consultation in ambulatory settings. A multistage sampling method, stratified by geographical location in metropolitan Sydney and type of medical practice, was employed. Two hundred and seventy-two patients attending medical consultations completed a brief questionnaire and interview immediately following a medical consultation with either a general practitioner or a medical specialist. Factor analysis of the questionnaire indicated that 58% of the variance in patient satisfaction ratings was accounted for by the level of interpersonal warmth and respect and the amount of information communicated by the doctor. Other factors impacting on satisfaction included the number of patient requests perceived to be met by the doctor, and the characteristics of the medical encounter, such as the length of the consultation and whether the visit was a first or subsequent consultation. There was no association between level of satisfaction and gender of.
Characterization of auroral current systems in Saturn's magnetosphere: High-latitude Cassini observations

[1] We have identified seven periapsis passes during the first high-latitude phase of the Cassini mission, from mid-2006 to mid-2007, in which the spacecraft traversed at intermediate altitudes the region between open field lines at highest latitudes and the region inside the inner edge of the ring current. Varying azimuthal magnetic fields indicative of the presence of field-aligned currents were observed in both hemispheres on all these passes, corresponding to the dawn and prenoon sector in the summer southern hemisphere and the dusk to premidnight sector in the winter northern hemisphere. In the southern hemisphere, strongly “lagging” fields observed on open field lines are observed to decline rapidly across the open-closed field line boundary, usually then reversing in sense to a “leading” configuration in a narrow layer of closed field lines, before declining to smaller values determined by the phase of the planetary period oscillation in the inner region. These observations suggest that the plasma flow in this sector increases sharply across the boundary from subcorotation on open field lines to a layer of supercorotation on closed field lines, accompanied by a major layer of upward-directed field-aligned current that is shown to be colocated with the statistical location of the southern auroral oval. Downward current then flows in the inner region as the leading field declines. In the northern hemisphere, however, only weak azimuthal fields are observed on open field lines, suggesting weak conductivity in the winter ionosphere if the plasma similarly subcorotates, while a layer of stronger lagging field indicative of subcorotation is observed immediately equatorward in the closed field region. The field-aligned currents in this case are thus directed downward just inside the boundary and upward in the interior region, opposite to the southern hemisphere, but are again modulated by the field of the planetary period oscillations on either side.
Medial Elbow Instability Resulting From Partial Tears of the Ulnar Collateral Ligament: Stress Ultrasound in a Cadaveric Model

Background: There is consensus that most complete ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) injuries in throwers would benefit from surgical intervention. Optimal treatment for partial UCL tears remains controversial. Stress ultrasonography has become a well-accepted diagnostic modality for assessing UCL injury. Hypothesis: Partial UCL tears will result in an intermediate increase in ulnohumeral joint space gapping as compared with that of an intact UCL and a complete UCL tear, but the degree of joint space gapping will vary by anatomic location of the partial tear. Study Design: Controlled laboratory study. Methods: Twenty-one cadaveric elbows were divided into 7 groups representing different anatomic locations of UCL partial tears. Partial tears were simulated by cutting 50% of the measured width of the UCL at 6 locations: distal anterior/posterior, midsubstance anterior/posterior, and proximal anterior/posterior. A seventh partial tear was created by partially elevating the undersurface of the distal UCL to simulate the radiographic “T-sign. ” Valgus stress (15 daN) was applied to each cadaveric elbow at 30° of flexion using a standardized device. Each specimen was tested intact, partially torn, and completely torn. At each state, joint space was measured using stress ultrasonography, and the difference in joint space from unstressed to stressed (delta) was recorded. Results: There were 10 right and 11 left upper extremity specimens. The mean delta was 0.58 mm for the intact state and <0.75 mm in all groups. Both distal partial tear groups had mean deltas <0.75 mm, similar to intact elbows. Proximal tears and the T-sign demonstrated intermediate deltas (0.99-1.23 mm). Midsubstance partial tears demonstrated the largest deltas (1.57-2.03 mm), similar to those of the complete tears. All complete tear groups had a mean delta >1.5 mm (1.54-3.03 mm). Conclusion: These findings suggest that partial tears introduce a spectrum of instability from functionally intact to completely torn. As a result, some may be biomechanically amenable to nonoperative treatment, while others would be indicated for early reconstruction. Further research into the biological and biomechanical determinants of nonoperative treatment failure will assist with more precise treatment recommendations. Clinical Relevance: Describing the biomechanical consequences of different, clinically significant partial UCL tears potentially allows more precise recommendations for operative and nonoperative treatment.
Selective non-operative management of abdominal gunshot wounds at Groote Schuur Hospital : a cohort study of clinical outcomes and financial costs

Background: Selective non-operative management (SNOM) of abdominal gunshot wounds is a practice that is becoming more common in major urban trauma centres. With increasing levels of violence, SNOM offers a useful method for managing injured patients. Historically, operative management of blunt and penetrating wounds to the abdomen has been the standard of care. This has changed over the past several decades with the advancement of imaging techniques and the realization that many penetrating wounds do not require surgical intervention. However, reticence towards SNOM for the management of abdominal gunshot wounds has remained because of the high probability of visceral organ damage. This study contributes to the growing field of violence prevention and trauma systems management by examining the use ofSNOM for abdominal gunshot wounds. We examined the hypothesis that SNOM does not increase morbidity or mortality in patients and decreases total hospital costs. Methods: A retrospective cohort study of257 consecutive patients admitted to a level I trauma centre in South Africa for the management of abdominal gunshot wounds over a one year period from I April 2004 to 31 March 2005 was performed. Results: Ninety-three of257 (36%) of abdominal gunshot wound victims were nonoperatively managed. Of these 93 patients, 5 (5%) later required surgery and were converted to a delayed laparotomy. Of the 164 patients who were treated. with immediate laparotomy, 10 (6%) underwent non-therapeutic laparotomies. There were no deaths within the cohort of patients that were managed non-operatively during the hospital stay compared to 9 deaths in the group of surgically managed patients (p=0.03). On multivariate analysis, there was no statistically significant difference in overall complication rate during the hospital stay between patients who were treated non-operatively compared to those who were treated operatively after adjusting for injury severity (HR 1.25, 95% CI 0.61-2.55). There was also no statistically significant difference in total hospital cost between the two groups (HR 0.40, 95% CI 0.15-1.08). Conclusion: This study has policy implications for violence prevention and health systems management. It suggests that SNOM can be successfully used in less severely injured abdominal gunshot wounds. The use of SNOM does not increase morbidity or mortality rates during the hospital stay. Thus, it can also be used effectively as a part of cost-containment policies geared towards the redistribution of human and financial resources in the trauma centre.
In vitro effect of thymosin‐α1 and interferon‐α on Th1 and Th2 cytokine synthesis in patients with chronic hepatitis C

Current evidence suggests that increased expression of Th1‐associated cytokines is important for immune‐mediated eradication of hepatitis C infection, while an increase in Th2‐associated cytokines is associated with persistence of infection. In this study we evaluated the effects of thymosin‐α1 (TA1), a naturally occurring thymic peptide, and interferon‐α (IFN‐α) on cytokine production in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from untreated patients with chronic hepatitis C. We examined the effect of incubation with TA1, IFN‐α, or both, on production of Th1‐associated cytokines (IL‐2, IFN‐γ), Th2‐associated cytokines (IL‐4, IL‐10), and synthesis of the antiviral protein 2′,5′‐oligoadenylate synthetase. TA1 treatment induced a significant increase in production of IL‐2 and 2′,5′‐oligoadenylate synthetase. Smaller increases were also seen after treatment with IFN‐α, while incubation with TA1 and IFN‐α together led to an additive or synergistic effect. Incubation with TA1 resulted in a decrease in IL‐4 and IL‐10, whereas IFN‐α increased these cytokines. The addition of TA1 to IFN‐α significantly reversed this IFN‐α‐induced increase. Hence, TA1 treatment could benefit patients with hepatitis C infection by increasing the Th1‐type response, fundamental for sustained clearance of hepatitis C; and by decreasing the Th2‐type response, associated with persistence of viraemia.

Reuse of Digital Learning Resources in Collaborative Learning Environments

With background in the proliferation of Informationand Communication Technologies (ICTs) in educational institutions, there is a growing interest in deploying ICT that complies with specifications and standards for learning technologies in these institutions. A key to obtaining the benefits of cost-efficiency and quality that motivate this interest is reuse of digital learning resources. Despite the significant efforts being made in design and deployment of learning technology standards facilitating the reuse of learning resources, the phenomenon of reuse is understudied. Central standardization initiatives originate in the requirements for training in large corporations and the US military. My research is concerned with learning resource reuse in educational institutions, with a particular interest in pedagogical approaches emphasizing the social aspects of learning. The central aim of my research is to develop a conception of reuse that facilitates systematic analysis of learning resource reuse in ICT-mediated collaborative learning environments. This aim locates my research at the intersection between learning technology standardization and the research area of Computer Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL). The theoretical basis for my research is sociocultural perspectives on human learning and development. This perspective contends that the process of learning is essentially a social process, situated in cultural and historical contexts. The sociocultural understanding of technological agency, that human actions are mediated by artifacts, has fundamentally shaped my understanding of learning resource reuse. I have used the more specific approach of Cultural-Historical Activity Theory as my analytical framework, which implies that I have studied the students, teachers, and technology designers’ engagement with learning resources as activity. The empirical basis for the research is formed by three interpretive case studies. Two of the case studies were carried out on an introductory course on object-oriented programming at the University of Aarhus in Denmark, during two consecutive semesters. The third case study was conducted on the development of a framework for technology-enhanced inquiry learning at the University of California, Berkeley, USA. The most important contribution of my research is that it brings the issue of how learning resources are reused in educational institutions into the foreground. The intermediate con-
The first five years of life

published series of tests in Busia, Kenya, indicate our ignorance of the overall and constantly changing situation. It is possible that the results of in-vitro tests carried out in semiimmune Africans cannot be compared with the results of such tests in non-immune subjects. ' Views are now more divided than ever before about practical advice on relatively the best and least harmful chemoprophylactic drug in Africa. I would agree with those who believe that for the time being chloroquine remains the drug of choice, being fairly reliable, fairly non-toxic (at correct dosage) and the least expensive and most readily available drug. With regard to Dr D G McLarty's comment (23 October, p 1202) I wonder if for nonimmune subjects a combination of 100-200 mg proguanil daily with a 300 mg base of chloroquine once a week has ever been given a serious trial; such a combination would decrease the common non-compliance of people with any once-weekly drug regimen; moreover, it may add the partial protective effect of proguanil (which maintains some activity against pyrimethamine-resistant strains) to the suppressive action of chloroquine. The degree of sensitivity response of P falciparum to proguanil in areas of chloroquine resistance has been studied in Thailand but not in Africa.4 As to the routine use of a primaquine because of its gametocytocidal value, mentioned briefly by Dr Onori and Dr A A Poltera (23 October, p 1202), I very much doubt if primaquine, given to some people mainly to prevent the transmission of drug-resistant parasites, would have any effect in those areas of Africa, where the sum total of the endemic potential is tremendous. Furthermore, the adverse side effects of this drug given for such a purpose to large African populations would present greater risks than the possible advantages.
Imprint cytology: A diagnostic aid in interpretation of upper gastrointestinal endoscopic biopsies

Abstract Context: Although major advances have occurred in the cytological diagnosis of various organ pathologies, gastrointestinal (GI) cytology has not gained popularity and is only occasionally practiced in the form of brushings and washings. Biopsy touch imprint cytology (IC) is a rapid, simple and inexpensive method of diagnosis of upper GI lesions. Thus, a study to show a correlation of IC and standard histopathology will allow the procedure to be performed routinely as adjunct to histopathology. Aims: To correlate results of imprints made from upper GI biopsies with histopathology in case of suspected upper GI lesions and to compare detection of Helicobacter pylori by IC and histopathology in suspected H. pylori infection. Subjects and Methods: One hundred and ten cases of upper GI endoscopic biopsies were included in the study. Touch imprints were made from the biopsies, stained and studied. The same tissue was put in 10% formalin for histopathological processing. Results of IC were compared with histopathology. Statistical Analysis Used: Chi-square/Fisher exact test were used to find out significance of study parameters. Results: Sensitivity and specificity of IC for neoplastic lesions were 94.3%, 100% for esophageal lesions; 88.2%, 97.14% for gastric lesions and 100%, 100% for duodenal lesions respectively, which correlated with other studies. Imprint smears for H. pylori had sensitivity of 80%, which was higher than that of brush cytology. Conclusions: IC is a valuable diagnostic tool and can be routinely applied as an adjunct to histopathological examination in the diagnosis of GI lesions.
