Executive and default network connectivity reflects conceptual interference during creative imagery generation

Functional neuroimaging research has recently begun to explore cognitive mechanisms of creativity that underlie the interactions between large-scale brain networks—specifically regions of the executive control (ECN) and default (DN) networks. Increased ECN-DN coupling has been shown to occur when participants are required to overcome conceptual interference (i.e., activation of salient conceptual knowledge); however, most studies have used creativity tasks with verbal stimuli. Here we examine whether overcoming conceptual interference elicits these interactions during a creativity task with visual stimuli, which may suggest that these interactions are a domain general neural mechanism (i.e., across multiple modalities). We used independent component analysis to identify task related functional connectivity networks during novel imagery generation under High- and Low-Constraint conditions (i.e., interference and no interference, respectively). Consistent with our expectations, our results showed greater connectivity between ECN and DN components during the High-Constraint condition compared to the Low-Constraint condition. In contrast to previous research using verbal tasks, our results showed that the ECN had greater connectivity with the posterior, rather than anterior, DN. Our results suggest that ECN-DN coupling may be a domain-general neural mechanism that underlies creative cognition, but stimulus modality may affect which specific regions within these networks are involved.
E-MARKETING ADOPTION AND COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE: STUDY OF COMMECIAL BANKS IN NIGERIA

Electronic-marketing moves commercial banks from traditional marketing into digital marketing which gives them a competitive edge over others in the same industry. In spite of the numerous advantages of e-marketing, there is a growing concern about the payoff of the investments (value for money) as to whether it will be useful to banks in boosting their revenue generation and enhance their competitive advantage. Therefore, the main objective of this study is to examine the relationship between e-marketing adoption and banks’ competitive advantage. To achieve this objective, Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) was used with two additional variables (Perceived Value for Money and Service Differentiation) integrated into it, to form the conceptual model. The study was conducted using the entire 17 commercial banks branches in Bauchi metropolis, Nigeria. Census survey method was used with a total valid 221 respondents which involved the staff of all the commercial banks. The results of the regression analysis revealed that perceived usefulness, perceived value for money and service differentiation of e-marketing adoption have significant relationship with the competitive advantage, while perceived ease of use of adopting e-marketing was not found to have any significant relationship with CA. The implications of the study were also adequately discussed. Keywords— Electronic Marketing Adoption(EMA), Competitive Advantage, Technology Acceptance Model(TAM),

Thelevel of journalistic resources dedicated to coverage of local politics is in a long-termdecline in the US news media, with readership shifting to national outlets. We investigate whether this trend is demandor supply-driven, exploiting a recent wave of local television station acquisitions by a conglomerate owner. Using extensive data on local news programming and viewership, we find that the ownership change led to (1) substantial increases in coverage of national politics at the expense of local politics, (2) a significant rightward shift in the ideological slant of coverage, and (3) a small decrease in viewership, all relative to the changes at other news programs airing in the same media markets. These results suggest a substantial supply-side role in the trends towardnationalizationandpolarizationofpolitics news, with negative implications for accountability of local elected officials and mass polarization.
Dimensionality reduction in (large) measurement datasets

—Modern network measurements may contain hard to discern facets. Dimensionality reduction is one method to emphasize and reduce features that are hard to ﬁnd in raw data, 2D plots or summary statistics. This is because network features are often derived from basic, measurable entities, for example, quality might be a function of the delay, loss, access technology or the environment. Some features may be coupled, for example network load and server response times may be related in complex ways. Consequently, we evaluated four dimensionality reduction techniques based on clustering: Principal Component Analysis, Kernel PCA, Linear Discriminant Analysis, and t-Distributed Statistical Neighbour Embeddings. We measured network attributes during the most-viewed boxing match streamed from three globally accessible servers. We measured the network and server delays, the packet loss. The access technologies were WiFi and Ethernet from two environments, home and work. The four algorithms were evaluated in terms of clustering or separation visualisation and CPU and memory performance.
Comparison of Nasoendoscopic Findings and Quality of Life between Type II Diabetics and Non-Diabetics with Chronic Rhinosinusitis

Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a group of disorders characterised by inflammation of the mucosal lining of the nose and paranasal sinuses for at least 12 consecutive weeks. [1], [2] According to the Clinical Practice Guideline formulated by the Rhinosinusitis Task Force of the American Academy of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery (AAO-HNS), diagnostic criteria for CRS depends on clinical symptoms and signs which are categorised into minor and major criteria.

High-throughput Sequencing Analysis of miRNA Expression in Embryonic Chicken Breast Muscle

The embryonic period is a critical period for the development of muscle and adipose tissue in chickens. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been shown to play important roles in various biological processes, but little is known about miRNAs in chicken embryos. To investigate functional miRNAs regulating the meat quality of adult chickens, embryonic breast muscle tissues of Cobb broilers (CB) and rose-crowned chickens (RC) were collected and analyzed with high-throughput small RNA deep sequencing. The results showed that 842 known miRNAs and 598 novel miRNAs were identified from the four sequencing libraries, of which 592 were diff erentially expressed (DE) miRNAs (P<0.05). Taking Cobb broilers as a reference, 321 miRNAs were upregulated, and 271 miRNAs were downregulated. Real-time PCR confirmed that the trends in diff erentially expressed miRNAs were completely consistent with the sequencing results. We identified 120,666 target genes of the diff erentially expressed miRNAs, and functional enrichment analysis revealed that these genes were mainly involved in the Wnt signaling pathway, Adherens junction, Butirosin and neomycin biosynthesis and the Hedgehog signaling pathway. Furthermore, regulatory networks of interactions among miRNAs and their targets were constructed, and fatty acid binding protein 5 (FABP5) was confirmed as a target of miR-3532-5p by dual-luciferase assay. The results of this study enriched the relevant data on chicken muscle miRNA expression, and they laid a foundation for further analysis of the miRNA-mediated regulation of genes and the link between miRNA and chicken meat quality traits.
Hospital Responses to the Introduction of Reimbursements by Treatment Intensity in a (Presumably Lump Sum) DRG System

Many OECD countries have replaced per-diem hospital reimbursement with lump sum payments by diagnosis-related groups (DRGs). However, modern DRG systems still allow hospitals to pass on actual treatment costs to payers, which might hinder the efficiency of health care provision. This paper analyzes hospital responses to a large-scale refinement of reimbursement practices in Germany on January 1, 2006, in which regulating authorities introduce reimbursements by treatment intensity in the market for stroke disorder. We find that the share of admissions receiving high-intensity treatment jumps by approximately 7 percentage points around the turn of the year. At the same time, a decrease in the average clinical appropriateness for patients receiving this high-intensity treatment reveals that the marginal high-intensity treated patient in 2006 is less appropriate for high-intensity treatment compared to 2005. We do not find accompanying (short-term) changes in the quality of care, such as decreases in in-hospital mortality. Thus, regulating authorities may improve efficiency by reducing the importance of extra reimbursements for marginal treatments in modern DRG systems.

Break Ames room illusion

Photos compress 3D visual data to 2D. However, it is still possible to infer depth information even without sophisticated object learning. We propose a solution based on small-scale defocus blur inherent in optical lens and tackle the estimation problem by proposing a non-parametric matching scheme for natural images. It incorporates a matching prior with our newly constructed edgelet dataset using a non-local scheme, and includes semantic depth order cues for physically based inference. Several applications are enabled on natural images, including geometry based rendering and editing.
NEW EXCITING IDEAS IN OLD AREAS

In recent years there has been a of lot glamour associated with new areas of research and teaching within the mechanical design community. This should be all for the good. However, there is a danger that instead of simply adding new areas, this gives the idea that older areas are no longer of much interest. Recently, four problems that I have dealt with for a long time have been viewed in new ways, and this has brought forth new and exciting ideas. This paper outlines these problems and the new solution methods. The problems are in the subject areas of robot design, robot control, linkage kinematics and design education. The main idea of this paper is to show that older, more traditional areas, when viewed in new ways, can lead to exciting new avenues of research, application and teaching.
RUTIN SEMISYNTHETIC DERIVATIVES WITH ANTIFUNGAL PROPERTIES

Among the often cited flavonoids with pharmacological properties, rutin is recently highlighted for its antifungal effect. On the other hand, the development of azole based drugs represented a major advance in medical mycology; azoles are currently the most popular class of antifungals used in medicine (clotrimazole, ketoconazole, fluconazole, itraconazole, a.o.). Starting from these facts, we synthesised some water soluble rutin derivatives containing imidazole and benzimidazole moieties in their chemical structure, treating rutin with 1,3-dichloro-2-propanol, 1-bromo-3-chloropropane, 2-dibromoethane and dibromomethane, and then with imidazole and benzimidazole, respectively. Molecular formula, weight, yield, melting points and solubility have characterized the new derivatives. Elemental analysis, IR and H-NMR spectral analysis have confirmed the structure of new the compounds. In vitro microbiological assays have been made. The tested compounds have shown a good antifungal activity (against Candida spp.) and antibacterial effects also (against Grampositive bacterial strains).
Extending the Use of Previous Relevant Utterances for Response Ranking in Conversational Search

This technical report describes the approach of the Univer-sit`a della Svizzera italiana and the University of Amsterdam to TREC CAsT 2020. TREC CAsT provides a reusable benchmark for open-domain conversational information-seeking dialogues. Our system ﬁrst performs query expansion by concatenating raw, relevant previous utterances, as predicted by an independent model trained on CAsTUR, with the current utterance. Initial ranking is performed by BM25, followed by ALBERT re-ranker trained on MS MARCO passage ranking task. Modiﬁcations of the approach include two diﬀerent methods for utilising context: i) feeding the previous utterance and its top response to the model alongside the current one; ii) feeding up to 3 relevant utterances to the model and performing an attentive-sum to aggregate context information. Our last run uses automatically rewritten queries without context utilisation.
Adalimumab – General Considerations

Dysregulation of the immune system and overexpression of TNF-α represents the basis of the action of TNF-α inhibitors. Adalimumab, as well as the other tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) inhibitors, has brought a revolution in the treatment of the immune-mediated inflammatory disease (IMIDs). Over the last two decades, this therapy has made a significant improvement in the quality of life for an ever increasing number of patients. Since its regulatory approval in 2002, adalimumab has shown a remarkable success and, although was the third TNF-α inhibitor that was put on the market, is now the leading agent among the TNF-α inhibitors. This review article discusses about key characteristics of the adalimumab, such as its production, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, indications, immunogenicity and side effects.
BOOTSTRAPPING DATA ARRAYS OF ARBITRARY ORDER1 BY ART

In this paper we study a bootstrap strategy for estimating the variance of a mean taken over large multifactor crossed random effects data sets. We apply bootstrap reweighting independently to the levels of each factor, giving each observation the product of independently sampled factor weights. No exact bootstrap exists for this problem [McCullagh (2000) Bernoulli 6 285– 301]. We show that the proposed bootstrap is mildly conservative, meaning biased toward overestimating the variance, under sufficient conditions that allow very unbalanced and heteroscedastic inputs. Earlier results for a resampling bootstrap only apply to two factors and use multinomial weights that are poorly suited to online computation. The proposed reweighting approach can be implemented in parallel and online settings. The results for this method apply to any number of factors. The method is illustrated using a 3 factor data set of comment lengths from Facebook.
INTEGRATION OF INFORMATION IN THE ERP SYSTEM AFFECTING THE EFFICIENCY OF THE SUPPLY CHAIN PERFORMANCE OF THE FROZEN FOOD INDUSTRY IN THAILAND

The purpose of this research was to examine the relationship of information integration in the enterprise resource planning system (ERP), an independent variable, which directly affects the efficiency of the supply chain performance (SCP), while the information integration is a mediator, which also has an indirect relationship with the efficiency of the supply chain performance. The data was analyzed, using the Structural Equation Model (SEM) for model testing and models editing by combining confirmation of suitability and presenting statistical significance as well as important meanings of theoretical models. The samples were taken from 234 small, medium, and large companies in the frozen food industry in Thailand. The results indicated that the organization should pay more attention to the integration of information contained in the enterprise resource planning system in order to enhance the efficiency of the supply chain by up to 24% in order to create competitiveness for the Thai frozen food industry. The findings supported the concepts proposed by a number of researchers that the integration of data from a process into the ERP system increases flexibility, improves processes, and promotes relationship among supply chains, resulting in organizational efficiency and competitive advantage. 2 Kasem Bundit Engineering Journal Vol.10 No.2 May-August 2020 Faculty of Engineering, Kasem Bundit University Research Article
Using reflective journals for analysing pre-service, early childhood teachers' perceptions of practicum experiences

This paper reports on the findings of a qualitative study conducted to explore the effects of reflective journal keeping by 30 female pre-service teachers studying at a university in the United Arab Emirates. At the onset of the study, the participants were trained on the principles of reflective journal writing and were asked to write in their journals during and after the completion of their weekly field experience over a period of ten weeks. Through content analysis, the qualitative data collected were analysed and four salient themes emerged from the data, i.e., “teaching using technology”, “constructive learning”, “experiential learning and play”, and “class management”. The data indicate that the teacher-trainees benefited greatly from writing reflectively as an important exercise that can help them develop professionally and ethically in their careers and aid their students to develop a good understanding of the subject(s) taught. The researchers believe reflective journal writing provides both the pre-service and in-service teachers with unique opportunities to examine and improve their teaching and their students' learning experiences. The researchers likewise believe in order to achieve optimal professional and practical results, teachers should be effectively trained by experienced and skilled educators on to how to write in their journals.
Comparison of Kinetin and 6-benzyladenine (BA) on in vitro Microtuberization of Potato Under Short Days Conditions

The influence of different concentrations of BA (6-benzyladenine) and Kinetin on microtuberization was compared. In vitro single node stem segments of potato were cultured on solid MS media supplemented with different concentrations of BA and Kinetin in dark at 22±1°C. No tuberization occurred 2.5 and 5.0 μM BA. Plantlets cultured on media containing 15 μM Kinetin exhibited the greatest microtuberization response. Moreover, considerable increases in yield of microtubers per plantlet were achieved on media containing 15 μM Kinetin. It was observed that high Kinetin concentrations promoted massive microtubers compared to BA at the same concentrations.
An arsenic-driven pump for invisible gold in hydrothermal systems

Pyrite (FeS 2 ), arsenopyrite (FeAsS) and löllingite (FeAs 2 ) are exceptional gold concentrators on Earth; yet the exact redox and structural state of this “ invisible ” gold and the forces driving its intake and release by these minerals remain highly contro-versial. Here we applied high resolution X-ray absorption spectroscopy to Au-bearing pyrite and iron sulfarsenides from hydrothermal deposits and their synthetic analogues. We show that Au preferentially enters octahedral Fe structural sites [Au(As,S) 6 ] enriched in As,by forming respectively[AuAs 1 – 3 S 5 – 3 ], [AuAs 3 S 3 ⋯ AuAs 6 ] and [AuAs 6 ] atomic units in arsenian pyrite ( > 0.1 – 1.0 wt. % As), arsenopyrite and löllingite, implying a formal oxidation state of Au II in the minerals. In contrast, in As-poorpyrite,Au is dominantly chemisorbedas [Au I S 2 ] moieties in muchlower concentrations. Combined with experimental data on Au mineral-fluid partitioning, our findings imply a universal control exerted by arsenic on gold incorporation in iron sulfides and sulfarsenides via coupled Au-As redox reactions. These reactions account for the observed variations in invisible gold contents in the minerals from different hydrothermal deposit types and enable quantitative prediction of iron sulfarsenide ability in controlling gold concentration and distribution in hydrothermal systems. and average bond lengths involving Au atom (in Å, (cid:69) angle in degree) of gold-bearing pyrite, arsenopyrite, and löllingite models. Angles other than the (cid:69) arsenopyrite angle are all equal to 90.0°. The reported interatomic distances are average values over the 1 st or 2 nd shell atomic cluster.
