Psychological Aspects of the Health Care of Young Children

This paper describes a study of the psycho-social factors involved in the rate of catch-up growth, over a period of eighteen months, exhibition by children treated at the Gold Fields Nutrition Unit. Poverty, social support, home environment and maternal resources were assessed, as was the quality of the mother-child bond, classified according to attachment type. The result indicated that the global influences of poverty and social support had no direct relationships with children's weight gain, but that the quality of attachment and the mother's resources were significantly associated with catch-up growth. Suggestions are offered for ways in which primary health care workers can help to improve caregiver-child relationship, maternal resources and social support for mothers of infants at risk for undernutrition.

TENDENCY ANALYSIS OF EXTREME CLIMATE INDICES WITH SPECIAL EMPHASIS ON AGRICULTURAL IMPACTS

Drought events in a particular region may occur i n case of long-term lack of precipitation coinciding with hot weather. The main objective of our research is to detect the possibl e changes of intensity and frequency of the extreme e v nts associated with precipitation and temperature. In this paper, several climate extreme indices are analyzed and compared for the Carpathian Basin (focusing on Hungary) for the seco nd half of the 20th century based on the guidelines suggested by the joint WMO-CCl/CLIVAR Wo rking Group on climate change detection. Daily maximum, minimum and mean temperature observa tions and daily precipitation amounts are used in the present statistical analysis. Because o f the lack of century-long meteorological time seri es, the analysis has been accomplished mainly for the s econd half of the 20th century. However, the analysis has been extended for the entire century i n case of some stations, where sufficient data was available. The statistical trend analysis includes th evaluation of 27 extreme indices, e.g., the num bers of severe cold days, winter days, frost days, cold days, warm days, summer days, hot days, extremely hot days, cold nights, warm nights, the intra-annua l extreme temperature range, the heat wave duration, the growing season length, the number of wet days (using several threshold values defining extremes), the maximum number of consecutive dry da ys, the highest 1-day precipitation amount, the greatest 5-day rainfall total, the annual fraction due to extreme precipitation events, etc. The results suggest that similarly to the global an d continental trends, regional temperature of Central/Eastern Europe got warmer during the second half of the 20th century. Furthermore, regional intensity and frequency of extreme precipitation in creased, while the total precipitation decreased in the region and the mean climate became drier.
Predicting Movie Success with Machine Learning Techniques: Theoretical and Methodological Approaches to Improve Model Performance

Previous studies on predicting the box-office performance of a movie using machine learning techniques have shown practical levels of predictive accuracy. However, their efforts to improve the model accuracy have been limited only to the methodological perspective. In this paper, we combine a theory-driven approach and a methodology-driven approach to further increase the accuracy of prediction models. First, we add a new feature derived from the theory of transmedia storytelling. Such theory-driven feature selection not only increases the forecast accuracy, but also enhances the explanatory power of the prediction model. Second, we use an ensemble approach, which has rarely been adopted in the research on predicting box-office performance. As a result, our model, Cinema Ensemble Model (CEM), outperforms the prediction models from the past studies using machine learning algorithms. We suggest that CEM can be extensively used for industrial experts as a powerful tool for improving decision-making process.
Meta-analysis of the literature: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy versus surgery alone in non-small cell lung cancer

7580 Background: Patients with resectable non- small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have a low survival rate following standard surgical treatment. The effectiveness of neoadjuvant chemotherapy on the prognosis of the patients was still controversial. We performed a meta-analysis to evaluate the efficiency of neoadjuvant chemotherapy on the prognosis of the patients in non-small cell lung cancer. Methods: Randomized studies published in English and Chinese until 2007 were included in our study. Ten eligible randomized controlled trails including 2,546 patients were combined and used in the present meta-analysis (1,291 in the study group, 1,255 in the control group). Relative risk was calculated from the reports of the studies available and then combined together to get estimate of efficacy. Results: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy improved survival with a relative risk of 0.91(95% confidence interval, 0.86–0.96; p=0.0007). Conclusions: Our meta-analysis shows a benefit of neoadjuvant chemotherapy to the patients with .
Resonance modes for exterior vibro-acoustic problems , application to a dielectric elastomer loudspeaker

Modal expansion techniques are efficient order reduction tools for bounded problems, but their use for exterior problems is less investigated. In the present article a simple vibrating structure embedded in a heavy exterior acoustic fluid is studied. Using a coupled finite element model, with perfectly matched layers (PMLs) to insure the Sommerfeld boundary condition, we show that the coupled fluid-structure modes can be obtained by solving a linear eigenvalue problem. The full basis comprising the fluid loaded structural modes and numerical PML modes is then used to expand the structural displacement and the radiated acoustic pressure, providing good accuracy. It is shown that the displacement potential appears to be a more natural variable than the acoustic pressure to describe the fluid state. This modal approach is then applied in a real case where a dielectric elastomer loudspeaker is studied, and validated by measurements.
Coexistence of Gastric Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor and Ulcerative Colitis in Patient with Dyspepsia and Rectorrhagia: A Case Report

A 32-year-old man with dyspepsia and rectorrhagia dating back 3 weeks underwent endoscopy and colonoscopy. Upper GI endoscopy revealed a 2×2cm submucosal lesion at the gastric body. Endoscopic ultrasonography confirmed GIST and surgery was recommended. Colonoscopy diagnosed left side inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) (ulcerative colitis). Abdominal CT scan and sonography had no apparent abnormality. The pathology report confirmed low grade, spindle type gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST). Treatment was started with oral Mesalazine and Asacol enema. As the abdominal and pelvic CT showed no metastasis, a complete surgical resection of the tumor was performed and in a 6-month follow up, the patient had no problem. IBD patients are at an increased risk of malignancy due to chronic inflammatory state and the use of immunomodulator agents. Thus, the risk of malignancies at the beginning of the disease is low and its occurrence is rare. The most common cancer in such patients is adenocarcinoma and GIST is somehow rare, with a small number reported in literature. Since the presence of GIST is not related to disease activity, it should be considered in differential diagnosis in patients with controlled IBD who are still symptomatic.
An Unsupervised Subspace Ranking Method for Continuous Emotions in Face Images

Continuous dimensional models of human affect have shown to offer a higher accuracy in identifying a broad range of emotions compared to the discrete categorical approaches dealing only with emotion categories such as joy, sadness, anger, etc. Unlike the majority of existing works on dimensional models of human affect (VAD; i.e . Valence-Arousal-Dominance) that rely on training-based approaches, here we propose an unsupervised and novel approach for ranking of continuous emotions in images us-ing canonical polyadic decomposition. To better portray the efﬁcacy of our proposed approach, we provide theoretical and empirical proof that our system is capable of generating a Pearson Correlation Coefﬁcient that outperforms the state of the art by a large margin; i.e . 65.13% ( i.e . difference) in one experiment and 104.08% ( i.e . difference) in another, when our method was applied to valence rank estimation. Towards this aim, we run experiments on four major emotion recognition datasets; i.e . CK+, AFEW-VA, SEMAINE and AffectNet, and provide analysis on the observed results accordingly. Our datasets are selected in a way to include images collected under controlled environments such as a laboratory setting; e.g . CK+ and SEMAINE, semi-controlled environments; e.g . AFEW-VA, and uncontrolled environments (from the wild); e.g . AffectNet.
Analyzing BERT with Pre-train on SQuAD 2.0

BERT achieves the state-of-the-art results in a variety of language tasks. In this project, we replicated the BERT base model, and aim to analyze the source of BERT’s strength. There are three possible sources: (1) the pretraining on a large corpus (Wikipedia and BookCorpus); (2) the Transformer architecture; (3) the pretraining on SQuAD contexts, since they are collected from Wikipedia, thus included in the large corpus. In this work, we compared BERT in three different settings: (a) no pretraining; (b) pretraining on a large corpus only; (c) pretraining on a large corpus then SQuAD contexts. From the experiments, we conﬁrm that (2) and (3) are not enough for good performance on SQuAD and (1) is the key source of BERT’s strength.
BertNet : Combining BERT language representation with Attention and CNN for Reading Comprehension

This paper presents BertNet, a high-performance question answering system utilizing BERT [2] language representation combined with QANet [10] inspired RNN-free attention and encoder layers which trains faster than baseline BiDAF [7] model. We design the final layer of of our model to work with SQuAD 2.0 1 to effectively accommodate predictions on questions with no answers. This paper also demonstrates additional improvement to the performance by using back translation based data augmentation techniques. We used English-Arabic-English as back translation languages for increasing training data and show significant performance gain on "difficult" questions which the model otherwise doesn’t perform well on. On SQuAD 2.0 data-set, our single model trained with data augmentation produces an F1 Score of 77.15 on dev-set.
Design and Fabrication of a Microwave HEMT Oscillator Using a Phase-Locked Loop

The phase noise is one of the most critical figures for signal generators and the transceiver systems. Reducing phase noise still remains one of the most challenging aspects in oscillator design. This paper presents phase noise reduction technique of the HEMT oscillator using a phase-locked loop. Two HEMT oscillators for a C-band satellite receiver system are fabricated with different structures: one is made of voltage-controlled oscillator without a phase-locked loop and another uses a phase-locked loop frequency synthesizer, in order to demonstrate the phase noise reduction. The local oscillator operating at 2.45 GHz with output power higher than +5dBm, phase noise of -107 dBc@100Khz, a control voltage between 0 to 5 V and a single voltage supply of 5V.
Integrated simulation of active noise cancellation using a computational fluid dynamics approach

An attempt has been made in this paper to simulate active noise control (ANC) in a three dimensional space using computational fluid dynamics and pressure acoustics. We have considered a rectangular box, with primary and secondary sources at the two opposite sides of the box. A model of ANC has been developed, which considers a cardboard surface and air as the fluid. A control algorithm, which interacts with the fluid dynamic model has also been developed, which tries to achieve active noise control. The proposed approach can be used as an initial feasibility study to predict acoustic pressure field inside the control space.
An Improved Stereotactic System For CT Aided Neurosurgery

Several computed tomography (CT) aided stereotactic systems have been introduced during the last five years for precise placement of neurosurgical instruments. Using digital CT image data that is transformed to a patient-frame coordinate system surgery can be simulated, planned and executed with sub-millimeter precision. This paper introduces a second generation stereotactic system that improves on speed, image resolution, accuracy and patient comfort of past and current systems. The system described here is designed for surgical procedures conducted entirely in the CT suite. Geometric resolution of this system is presented, test procedures are described and phantom results are discussed. An application to percutaneous knee surgery is briefly mentioned. At this writing patient data is not yet available.

INTERNATIONALIZATION , ECONOMIC PERFORMANCE AND THE ROLE OF MARKET INTEGRATION : A firm-level evidence from Italy

This paper is aimed at exploring empirically the relationship between firm performance and the main modes of internationalization (exporting and outward FDI), as well as the role played in this relationship by market integration process. Using Italian firm-level data, we document that: i) multinationals outperform exporters, which in turn are more productive than non-internationalized firms; ii) the productivity differentials across firm groups are due to both self-selection mechanism and some learning-by-internationalizing effects; iii) ‘Europeanization treatment’ appears to be associated with a higher firm productivity respect to ‘Globalization treatment’ within each mode of access to foreign markets; iv) Italian firms’ productivity on average is increasing in industry-level trade intensity, as well as in industry-level FDI intensity with more integrated markets (European markets), bearing in mind that such linkages are heterogeneous across firms’ categories.
Treatment of Simulated Oily Wastewater by Ultrafiltration and Nanofiltration Processes

A study in the treatment and reuse of oily wastewater generated from the process of fuel oil treatment of gas turbine power plant was performed. The feasibility of using hollow fiber ultrafiltration (UF) membrane and nanofiltration (NF) membrane type polyamide thin-film composite in a pilot plant was investigated. Three different variables: pressure (0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2 bars), oil content (10, 20, 30 and 40 ppm), and temperature (15, 20, 30 and 40 ᵒC) were employed in the UF process while TDS was kept constant at 150 ppm. Four different variables: pressure (2, 3, 4 and 5 bar), oil content (2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10 ppm), total dissolved solids (TDS) (100, 200,300 and 400 ppm), and temperature (15, 20, 30 and 40 ᵒC) were manipulated with the help of statistical method of Taguchi in the RO process. Analysis of variable (ANOVA) and optimum condition was investigated. The study shows that pressure has the greatest impact on the flux of UF process, while temperature and pressure have similar contribution on flux of NF process. The temperature seems to have the greatest effect on TDS rejection. It was noticed that more than 96% oil removal can be achieved with flux of 624 L/m2.hr by UF process and that the fouling mechanism of UF process follows the cake/gel layer filtration model. It was observed that 100% removal of oil content can be achieved along with 79% for the TDS rejection and flux of 65 L/m2.hr by NF process. The result shows fouling in NF process follows the cake filtration model. It was concluded that the observed values are within ±5% of that the predicted which reflects a strong representative model. The treated wastewater has the characteristics that it can be reused in the process to reduce the operating cost.
Spectral-change enhancement with prior SNR for the hearing impaired

A previous signal processing algorithm that aimed to enhance spectral changes (SCE) over time showed benefit for hearing-impaired (HI) listeners to recognize speech in background noise. In this work, the previous SCE was manipulated to perform on target-dominant segments, rather than treating all frames equally. Instantaneous signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) were calculated to determine whether the segments should be processed. Initially, the ideal SNR calculated by the knowledge of premixed signals was introduced to the previous SCE algorithm (SCE-iSNR). Speech intelligibility (SI) and clarity preference were measured for 12 HI listeners in steady speech-spectrum noise (SSN) and six-talk speech (STS) maskers, respectively. The results showed the SCE-iSNR algorithm improved SI significantly for both maskers at high signal-to-masker ratios (SMRs) and for STS masker at low SMRs, while processing effect on speech quality was small. Secondly, the estimated SNR obtained from real mixtures was used, resulting in another SCE-eSNR. SI and subjective rating on naturalness and speech quality were tested for 7 HI subjects. The SCE-eSNR algorithm showed improved SI for SSN masker at high SMRs and for STS masker at low SMRs, as well as better naturalness and speech quality for STS masker. The limitations of applying the algorithms are discussed.
Assessment of genetic variability among antioxidant constituents in Husk tomato ( Physalis ixocarpa Brot . ) selections grown in temperate region

The current study was carried out at experimental farm of ICAR-Central Institute of Temperate Horticulture, Srinagar during year 2011 and 2012. In this investigation a total ten selections of Husk tomato were screened for chlorophyll, ascorbic acid, phenolic, flavonoids, anthocyanins attributes and antioxidant activities (DPPH). Significant differences among antioxidant attributes were detected in selected husk tomato selections. The range ofchlorophyll a of the tested samples was (1.00-3.28 mg/100g), chlorophyll b (1.03-2.46 mg/100g) and total chlorophyll (2.05-5.17 mg/100g). DPPH % inhibition varied between 42.54 and 84.65 %; however, total anthocyanins ranged between (1.23 and 5.65) mgcyanidin-3-glucoside Eq·100 g–1 fresh weight. Total phenols varied from (15.65-20.84) mg gallic acid Eq·100 g–1 and total flavonoids from (20.18-25.93) mg catechin Eq·100 g–1. Total phenols and DPPH showed close association; however, PCA revealed that the first PC explained 35% of total variation and was positively associated to Chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, total chlorophyll, total antocyanin, total flavonols and ascorbic acid. All of the diverse cultivars were clustered into two clusters which could be exploited for future qualitative breeding programs in husk tomato. The importance of our findings would be significant for farmers, breeders, consumers and industries concerning food quality, disease prevention and healthcare.

Systematic review of behavioural smoking cessation interventions for older smokers from deprived backgrounds

Introduction The associations between smoking prevalence, socioeconomic group and lung cancer outcomes are well established. There is currently limited evidence for how inequalities could be addressed through specific smoking cessation interventions (SCIs) for a lung cancer screening eligible population. This systematic review aims to identify the behavioural elements of SCIs used in older adults from low socioeconomic groups, and to examine their impact on smoking abstinence and psychosocial variables. Method Systematic searches of Medline, EMBASE, PsychInfo and CINAHL up to November 2018 were conducted. Included studies examined the characteristics of SCIs and their impact on relevant outcomes including smoking abstinence, quit motivation, nicotine dependence, perceived social influence and quit determination. Included studies were restricted to socioeconomically deprived older adults who are at (or approaching) eligibility for lung cancer screening. Narrative data synthesis was conducted. Results Eleven studies met the inclusion criteria. Methodological quality was variable, with most studies using self-reported smoking cessation and varying length of follow-up. There were limited data to identify the optimal form of behavioural SCI for the target population. Intense multimodal behavioural counselling that uses incentives and peer facilitators, delivered in a community setting and tailored to individual needs indicated a positive impact on smoking outcomes. Conclusion Tailored, multimodal behavioural interventions embedded in local communities could potentially support cessation among older, deprived smokers. Further high-quality research is needed to understand the effectiveness of SCIs in the context of lung screening for the target population. PROSPERO registration number CRD42018088956.
