Deep learning-based methods for individual recognition in small birds

Individual identification is a crucial step to answer many questions in evolutionary biology and is mostly performed by marking animals with tags. Such methods are well established but often make data collection and analyses time consuming and consequently are not suited for collecting very large datasets. Recent technological and analytical advances, such as deep learning, can help overcome these limitations by automatizing data collection and analysis. Currently one of the bottlenecks preventing the application of deep learning for individual identification is the need of hundreds to thousands of labelled pictures required for training convolutional neural networks (CNNs). Here, we describe procedures that improve data collection and allow individual identification in captive and wild birds and we apply it to three small bird species, the sociable weaver Philetairus socius, the great tit Parus major and the zebra finch Taeniopygia guttata. First, we present an automated method that allows the collection of large samples of individually labelled images. Second, we describe how to train a CNN to identify individuals. Third, we illustrate the general applicability of CNN for individual identification in animal studies by showing that the trained CNN can predict the identity of birds from images collected in contexts that differ from the ones originally used to train the CNNs. Fourth, we present a potential solution to solve the issues of new incoming individuals. Overall our work demonstrates the feasibility of applying state-of-the-art deep learning tools for individual identification of birds, both in the lab and in the wild. These techniques are made possible by our approaches that allow efficient collection of training data. The ability to conduct individual identification of birds without requiring external markers that can be visually identified by human observers represents a major advance over current methods.
Macro-Derivatives Nexus: New Drivers of Cross-Currency Basis Swap Spreads

Over the last decade, the derivatives market has witnessed a collapse of covered interest parity (CIP) which has unlocked a stream of arbitrage opportunities across currencies for investment managers. In this paper, we introduce two new factors --- inflation differential and relative economic performance --- as potential drivers of CIP deviations. Employing data on G10 currencies, we document a striking new evidence that higher inflation differential and improvement in relative economic performance drive CIP deviations wider and hence arbitrage profits higher for dollar investors. Our results are largely robust to different controls, sampling frequency, and consideration of alternative empirical specifications.
Faster Authenticated Key Agreement With Perfect Forward Secrecy for Industrial Internet-of-Things

Industrial Internet-of-Things (IIoT) is the basis of Industry 4.0, which extends Internet connectivity beyond traditional computing devices like computers and smartphones to the physical world for improving efficiency and accuracy while reducing the production cost. However, there are tremendous security threats to IIoT, such as IIoT device hijacking and data leaks. Therefore, a lightweight authenticated key agreement (AKA) protocol is commonly applied to establish a session key for securing the communication between IIoT devices. To protect the previous session keys from being compromised, perfect forward secrecy (PFS) has been one of the most important security properties of AKA. In this article, we present an efficient PFS-enabled AKA protocol for IIoT systems, which is developed based on a new dynamic authentication credential (DAC) framework, without using any public-key cryptographic primitives. It is worth noting that our protocol is also faster than the state-of-the-art DAC-based AKA protocols with PFS. Moreover, we give the formal security result of the proposed protocol in the random oracle model.
Factors Affecting Treatment Compliance of Hypertensive Patients in Erbil City

Background: Non-compliance to treatment is the major obstacles to the success of the treatment of hypertension and poor control of hypertension in worldwide. objectives: The objective of this study was to assess the level of compliance to treatment and identified factors contributing to poor compliance among hypertensive in Erbil city. Methodology: a cross sectional study design was undertaken among 200 hypertensive in 2014, to collect the data, patients who met the inclusion criteria were selected and questionnaires were filled through interviewing. The questionnaire including demographic information and compliance to treatment, data analysis though descriptive and inferential statistical tests. Result: shows that 45% of hypertensive patients were compliance to the treatment while 55% of them were non-compliance. Major factor for non-compliance is forgetfulness. There was a significant association between level of compliance and age (p=0.000), gender (p=0.003), level of education (p=0.000), duration of treatment (p=0.000), and duration of hypertension (p= 0.003) . also there was highly significant and positive relationship between compliance and benefit of treatment, barrier of treatment, severity of disease and susceptibility to complication. Finally the strongest predictor was reminder (cues of action) by advice of nurses. Conclusion: According result of the study more than half of hypertensive patients were not compliance to treatment. Recommendation: Nurses should give education program to hypertensive patients about treatment compliance
Dietary diversity score and socio-economic factors of stunting among pre-school children in Rajshahi city, Bangladesh

In the developing countries, stunting has been the most tenacious public health problem and is the major cause of child mortality and global disease burden, where 80% of this burden is found in developing countries and would result in 22% loss of adult income. The aim of this study was to investigate prevalence and determinant factors associated with stunting among pre-school children in Rajshahi City, Bangladesh. A multi-stage cross sectional study was performed during the period March 2017 to September 2017. One thousand and nine (1009) pre-school children (36≤ Age ≤71 months) were considered as our study population. Data were collected by using a pretested and semi-structured questionnaire, which consisted of socio-economic characteristics, dietary and feeding pattern related information. Stunting of a child was determined using the WHO Multicenter Growth Reference Standard. Chi-square test and multiple logistic regressions were carried out to identify determinants of stunting. The odds ratio (OR) with a 95% confidence interval was calculated to assess the strength of the association, and p-value of <0.05 were considered as statistically significant. Boys (52%) with mean age 53.56 ± 10.405 months and girls (48%) with mean age 51.67 ± 10.934 months were participated. The prevalence of stunting among the preschool children in Rajshahi City was 39.7% (5.4% severe, 24.9% moderate and 9.4% mild stunted). The odds of being stunted were illiterate mother, lower food purchasing capabilities, poor dietary diversity score (95% CI: 1.640-3.052; p<0.001), experiencing prelacteal (95% CI: 1.616-2.789; p <0.001), prevalence of disease frequency (95% CI: 1.62-3.56; p<0.01), poor socio-economic class (95% CI: 2.839.51; p<0.01).
Pathology Findings in Medical School Anatomy Cadavers

With more medical schools in the United States and abroad turning to virtual anatomy instead of gross dissection of actual cadavers, unexpected pathological ﬁndings may not be encountered as teaching opportunities. By using real cadavers the cause of death information provided might conﬁrm pathology which is found in the course of routine anatomical dissection. Additional pathology not attributable to cause of death adds further to the experience of the cadaver dissection. Over the course of four academic years, human cadavers at New York Institute of Technology College of Osteopathic Medicine were sampled based on encountered gross pathological ﬁndings. Over the four years, there were 64 cadavers sampled randomly and forty two percent of the cadavers had ﬁndings related to cause of death. Sixty-six percent of the cadavers had ﬁndings which were not related to the cause of death. Thus, not only is pathology abundant in human anatomy cadavers and a source of important medical education but additional pathology outside of cause of death is an even greater source of teaching material. The beneﬁts of human anatomy dissection are good medical educational sources with or without clinical information in the form of cause of death. Having limited clinical information may further enhance the educational value of anatomy dissection.

Cover Crops as an Integrated Approach for Pest Suppression and Pollinator Promotion in Arkansas Watermelon Production Systems

Arkansas watermelon growers face a variety of insect pest and disease problems that have the potential to threaten yield. Integrated pest management tactics can provide control over these threats and are intended to cut down on pesticide use and its associated negative impacts like pesticide resistance, non-target effects, and runoff. Cover crops provide an array of benefits and can be useful in integrated pest management. Evidence has shown that certain cover crops can increase beneficial insects and suppress disease in the following cash crop. They can also provide important resources to pollinators. In order to build a better understanding of how cover crops impact insects and disease in Southeastern watermelon production systems, this study sought to investigate a variety of winter cover crops and cover crop mixtures that could be utilized by growers in this region. One of the objectives was to determine the best winter cover crop or cover crop mixture to bridge beneficial insects into watermelon and thereby reduce pests. The study also aimed to evaluate the potential of the different cover crops for suppressing common watermelon diseases. The impact of the cover crops on pollinators, especially those important to watermelon pollination services, was investigated as well. Based on these results, the ultimate goal of this research was to develop recommendations for Arkansas watermelon growers on how winter cover crops can promote pollinators and be implemented as part of an integrated pest management strategy.
A Synopsis of 3D Printing and Robotics Applications in Construction

One of the difficulties hindering the application of 3D printing technology in construction is related to the versatility of materials and components used to produce a building or other structure. The prospect of using this technology is further complicated by the sheer size of the edifices to be constructed. While 3D printing a mechanical component can now be done in someone’s basement with affordable and readily available equipment, applying the same technology to produce large structures and building components is a challenge. In recent years, researchers have been working towards overcoming this challenge by trying to develop new construction materials and methods that would be more suitable for the application of 3D printing technology. One of the approaches that can be considered is the combination of robotics technology with 3D printing to automate construction activities. The use of robots in construction has been proposed long before 3D printing became possible or known but never gained widespread construction site usage, mainly because of the difficulty associated with the automation of most construction tasks. However, the combination of 3D printing with robotics may be the way to change that. In this paper, the authors examine the suitability of 3D printing in a number of construction tasks and present ideas that modify established construction methods to make them more suitable for automation. The authors then examine how the introduction of robotics in conjunction with 3D printing to the construction site may make it possible to automate a number of construction tasks. Some of the benefits of such automation include lower safety risks, improved control over construction schedules, more economical construction, and a better ability to build in remote areas and challenging environments.
Portal and mesenteric vein resection during pancreaticoduodenectomy and total pancreatectomy

Background Portal vein invasion by a malignant pancreatic mass is currently not a contraindication to pancreatic resection with acceptable oncologic outcomes. Aim The aim of this paper was to identify the perioperative morbidity and long-term outcomes of venous resection (VR) during pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) and total pancreatectomy (TP) operations. Materials and methods We carried out a retrospective study of patients undergoing PD or TP between March 1995 and December 2014 at Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida, using data collected from an institutional review board-approved prospective database. Preoperative, operative, and postoperative clinicopathological data were collected and analyzed. Results Out of 601 patients who underwent PD and TP in this study, 104 (17.3%) underwent VR. The types of VR and reconstruction were as follows: type I (lateral venorrhaphy) in 49 (47.1%) patients, type II (patch graft) in 10 (9.6%) patients, type III (primary anastomosis) in 27 (26%) patients, and type IV (interposition venous graft) in 16 (15.4%) patients. Two (1.9%) patients underwent no portomesenteric reconstruction. The 90-day major postoperative complications and mortality in patients with VR were 44.2 and 7.7%, respectively, versus 29.2 and 4.4%, respectively, in patients with standard resection. The 1-year, 3-year, 5-year, and 7-year survival rates in VR with periampullary adenocarcinoma (PAAC) were 55.1, 27, 21.9, and 15.4%, respectively, whereas in patients with PAAC without VR, the survival rates were 78.4, 45.6, 34.6, and 30.9%, respectively (P<0.01). Conclusion VR and reconstruction with PD can be performed safely with acceptable perioperative morbidity and long-term survival rates to achieve complete removal of the tumor.
Factors contributing to morbidity and mortality among preterm neonates admitted at two major hospitals in Rwanda

Objective: Prematurity is one of the highest global health challenges of the 21 st century and has been named the first killer of young children. In Rwanda, it is the leading cause of death in neonates. It is expedient to explore the factors contributing to the observed high morbidity and mortality to plan appropriate interventions. The objective of the study was to identify factors contributing to morbidity and mortality among preterm neonates and neonatal outcomes at discharge. Methods: Adopting the descriptive design and quantitative approach, 125 preterm babies admitted in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) of the University Teaching Hospital of Kigali and Muhima hospital over ten weeks were recruited in the study using consecutive sampling method. Interviewer administered questionnaire to the mothers, files of mothers and babies were used as sources of data. Frequencies, chisquare, and logistic regression were used for analysis. A p-value <0.05 was considered significant. Results: Marital status of mothers, mother's participation in the care of her baby, and APGAR score ≤ 6 with a p-value (0.007), (0.02), (0.002) respectively, were statistically significantly associated with mortality. Controlling for confounders, neonates with APGAR score ≥ 6 had a lower odds of dying compared to those with an APGAR score ≤ 6 (OR=0.268 CI:0.102,0.700). Morbidities and mortality was high as gestational age, and birth weight decreased. The main morbidities were neonatal sepsis (88.8%), and Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS) (62.4%). Conclusion: Mothers social background, participation in care, low apgar score and birth weights are critical factors with neonatal sepsis and RDS accounting for highest morbidities in preterm care. Keywords: Preterm neonates, born too soon, neonatal mortality, neonatal morbidity
The Mediating Role of Trust in the Effect of Perceived Organizational Support on Job Performance in Nurses

The aim of this study is to investigate the mediating role of trust in the effect of perceived organizational support on the job performance of nurses. The nurses were included in the study because of their need for high level of organizational support and trust perception due to the nature of nursing profession. The sample of the study consisted of 452 nurses working in a university hospital (N = 550) in the city center of Eskisehir. The research data were collected by using the "Personal Information Form", "Perceived Organizational Support Scale", "Job Performance Scale" and "Trust Scale". The relationships between variables were analysed with factor analysis, regression analysis and the sobel test. It was found that perceived organizational support positively and significantly affected job performance and trust; trust had a partial mediating effect in this relationship.
Individual differences in categorical perception: L1 English
 learners’ L2 perception of Korean stops*

This study investigated individual variability of L2 learners’ categorical judgments of L2 stops by exploring English learners’ perceptual processing of two acoustic cues (voice onset time [VOT] and f0) and working memory capacity as sources of variation. As prior research has reported that English speakers’ greater use of the redundant cue f0 was responsible for gradient processing of native stops, we examined whether the same processing characteristics would be observed in L2 learners’ perception of Korean stops (/t/–/t/). 22 English learners of L2 Korean with a range of L2 proficiency participated in a visual analogue scaling task and demonstrated variable manners of judging the L2 Korean stops: Some were more gradient than others in performing the task. Correlation analysis revealed that L2 learners’ categorical responses were modestly related to individuals’ utilizations of a primary cue for the stop contrast (VOT for L1 English stops and f0 for L2 Korean stops), and were also related to better working memory capacity. Together, the current experimental evidence demonstrates adult L2 learners’ top-down processing of stop consonants where linguistic and cognitive resources are devoted to a process of determining abstract phonemic identity.
