Recognizing sentences concerning future research from the full text of JASIST

In the conclusion part of an academic paper, sentences concerning future research provide an outlook about future focus of research and reflect the latest development trend in a specific topic or field. These sentences are of high value for further investigation. However, very little has been done on sentences talking about future research in academic full texts. Here, papers in JASIST were studied with respect to these sentences. Deep learning model was trained on articles containing sentences annotated as relating to “future research” by BERT model. The model capable of automatic extraction of such sentences from academic full texts was obtained. Later this model was verified on the unannotated corpus, which demonstrated good performance. Finally, clustering was performed for the extracted sentences. It was found by cluster analysis that the sentences concerning future research were divided into four types. Our findings provide support for classification of sentences concerning future research.

The Rebellious, Untamed Mare: Morrison's Heroine Sula

In her novel Sula, Toni Morrison creates one of the few black heroines to deliberately enhance the role of a pariah. This paper tries to unfold the rebellious attitude against the norms of the black community that mainly revolves around male’s centered society. Sula considers herself a free spirit who challenges and goes beyond all the boundaries; she dares to confront every aspect of that society. Her personality is remarkably evolved since childhood, whether with her relation with her grandmother; her mother or her friend Nel Wright as well as with her lovers. Being raised in household of strong women shapes the person she becomes; fearless, rebellious and daring.
Passive Diagnosis of Mental Health Disorders Incorporating an Empathic Dialogue System

Depression and anxiety are the two most prevalent mental health disorders worldwide, impacting the lives of millions of people each year. Current screening methods require individuals to manually complete psychometric questionnaires. In this work we develop a deep learning approach to predict psychometric scores given textual data through the use of psycholinguistics features. Data is collected via a dialogue system, were we develop and incorporate an approach to model empathy. Which aims to allow for appropriate use of these systems in a clinical setting. Following a public evaluation, we demonstrate that our approach to model empathy can out perform a similarly trained non empathic approach. Additionally, we show that our deep learning prediction approach performed well on evaluation data, but has difficulty generalizing to experimentally collected data. Limitations and implications as a result of this work are discussed.

The Role of CD16 + , CD56 + , NK (CD16 + /CD56 + ) and B CD20 + Cells in the Outcome of Pregnancy in Women with Recurrent Spontaneous Abortion

Objectives: Recurrent Spontaneous Abortion (RSA) is the most common complication of pregnancy. It is considered as one of the most important issues of reproduction in the world. RSA is defined as having three or more miscarriages in the first trimester of pregnancy. Increase in peripheral blood lymphocytes may be associated with abortion; therefore,the study was aimed to investigate and compare the peripheral blood CD16 + , CD56 + , NK(CD16 + /CD56 + ) and B CD20 + cells populations in diagnosis and on pregnancy outcome in women with abortion. Materials and Methods: In this case-control study, 25 non-pregnant women with at least 3 abortions without obvious reason and 25 non-pregnant women with a living child without history of previous abortion participated. Using monoclonal antibodies anti (CD16, CD56 and CD20) and flow cytometry method, the percentage of cells with these markers was determined. Data analysis was performed by with SPSS 15 software and T-test. Results: CD16 + , CD56 + and NK (CD16 + /CD56 + ) cells significantly increased in women with RSA compared with control group (P≤0.05) but there were no significant differences in the percentage of B CD20 + cells between the experimental and control groups (P>0.05). Conclusion: According to the results of the present study, increased percentage of NK cells may be considered as a risk factor for RSA but involvement and the role of B CD20+ lymphocytes in RSA cannot be confirmed; however, in regard to important role of B and NK cell in the management of the immune responses, more studies are required to understand the behavior of these cells in the different stages of pregnancy more efficiently
Sign Language Interpreter for Deaf and Dumb People

: For a person with disability (deaf and dumb) faces difficulty in communication with normal person. Because of this, a person who lacks in hearing (deaf) and speaking ability (dumb) is not able to communicate with normal person. This paper aims to lower this barrier in communication. Sign Language is used by deaf and dumb people for communication. A gesture in a sign language is a particular movement of the hands with a specific shape made out of them. A sign language usually provides sign for letters. Sensors in the glove pick up gestures and convert that to text data with the help of Analog to Digital convertor on arduino nano board. This converted text data will be sent wirelessly via WIFI module to a cell phone. The WIFI module transmits the gesture to a smartphone. Using Text to Speech software, incoming text message will be converted to voice. The arduino nano board will recognize the sign language for Alphabets and Numbers and it will display the message on computer and mobile. Sign Language interpreter system recognizes American Sign Language (ASL) alphabets, numbers in the form of letter, word or sentence based on sensor movement. A system is developed that can translate different signs using American Sign Language to text as well as voice format.
Toward an Integrated Model of Online Communication Attitudes, Communication Frequency, and Relational Closeness

ABSTRACT This article proposes an integrative model of how attitudes about online communication are associated with relational closeness, extending the work of Ledbetter and colleagues. The model stipulates the attitudes about online communication encouraging misunderstandings between relational partners, and causing apprehension in users, negatively predicting attitudes about the ease of online communication. In turn, attitudes about online communication’s ease positively predict attitudes toward online social connection and attitudes toward online self-disclosure. Attitudes toward online social connection and self-disclosure then predict the frequency of offline and online communication, with the type of communicative goal, type of relationship, and culture moderating these associations. Offline and online communication, in turn, influences relational closeness, and that relationship is moderated by in-group identity. The model presents a unified framework with eight propositions, and generates opportunities for future research.
Characterizing the impact of health literacy, computer ability, patient demographics, and portal usage on patient satisfaction with a patient portal

Abstract Objective We sought to measure patient portal satisfaction with patient portals and characterize its relationship to attitude towards computers, health literacy, portal usage, and patient demographics. Materials and Methods We invited 13 040 patients from an academic medical center to complete a survey measuring satisfaction, perceived control over computers, and health literacy using validated instruments (End User Computing Satisfaction, Computer Attitude Measure, and Brief Health Literacy Screen). We extracted portal usage and demographic information from the medical center data warehouse. Results A total of 6026 (46.2%) patients completed the survey. The median (IQR) scores for satisfaction, computer control, and health literacy were 87% (20%), 86% (22%), and 95% (15%), respectively. The normalized mean (SD) usage of messaging, lab, appointment, medication, and immunization functions were 6.6 (2.6), 4.6 (2.4), 3.1 (1.7), 1.5 (1.2), and 0.88 (0.91) times, respectively. Logistic regression yielded significant odds ratios [99% CI] for computer control (3.6 [2.5–5.2]), health literacy (12 [6.9–23]), and immunization function usage (0.84 [0.73–0.96]). Discussion Respondents were highly satisfied and had high degrees of computer control and health literacy. Statistical analysis revealed that higher computer control and health literacy predicted higher satisfaction, whereas usage of the immunization function predicted lower satisfaction. Overall, the analytical model had low predictive capability, suggesting that we failed to capture the main drivers of satisfaction, or there was inadequate variation in satisfaction to delineate its contributing factors. Conclusion This study provides insight into patient satisfaction with and usage of a patient portal. These data can guide the development of the patient portal, with the ultimate goal of increasing functionality and usability to enhance the patient experience.

Collaboration and mutual support as processes established by communities of practice to improve continuing professional teachers’ development in high schools

Abstract The purpose of the paper was to investigate how collaboration and mutual support as the processes established by communities of practice to improve continuing professional teachers’ development in high schools. This study is essential as it helped teachers to see the importance of working as teams through mutual support given to each other to boost their professional development. The study was qualitative in nature; semi-structured interviews were conducted in order to get expedient and in-depth information from the participants with the use of case study design. The study found that teachers participated effectively and had mutual relationship in collaborative learning activities in communities of practice. The findings indicated that teachers should collaborate and mutually engage in learning activities in communities of practice in high schools in order to enhance their professional development.
Physical activity of children and adolescents in Luxembourg during school, physical education and leisure time: An accelerometry-based study

Objectives: Due to its great importance for development and health, the physical activity (PA) of children has become a key issue in research over the last decade. Simultaneously, the measurement of PA has been strongly improved through the development of user-friendly and reliably working accelerometer, which allow to track PA over several consecutive days in an objective way. Although the benefits of accelerometry are well documented also for children (e.g. Hager et al., 2015), especially cross-national studies such as the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC) are still using questionnaires and are focused only on overall or leisure time PA. This study as part of the PALUX project (Physical Activity of Children and Youth in Luxembourg) aims to (1) measure children's daily PA patterns using up-to-date accelerometers while (2) differentiating between PA in school, physical education and leisure time.

Sourcing and Automation of Political News and Information over Social Media in the United States, 2016-2018

Social media is an important source of news and information in the United States. But during the 2016 US presidential election, social media platforms emerged as a breeding ground for influence campaigns, conspiracy, and alternative media. Anecdotally, the nature of political news and information evolved over time, but political communication researchers have yet to develop a comprehensive, grounded, internally consistent typology of the types of sources shared. Rather than chasing a definition of what is popularly known as “fake news,” we produce a grounded typology of what users actually shared and apply rigorous coding and content analysis to define the phenomenon. To understand what social media users are sharing, we analyzed large volumes of political conversations that took place on Twitter during the 2016 presidential campaign and the 2018 State of the Union address in the United States. We developed the concept of “junk news,” which refers to sources that deliberately publish misleading, deceptive, or incorrect information packaged as real news. First, we found a 1:1 ratio of junk news to professionally produced news and information shared by users during the US election in 2016, a ratio that had improved by the State of the Union address in 2018. Second, we discovered that amplifier accounts drove a consistently higher proportion of political communication during the presidential election but accounted for only marginal quantities of traffic during the State of the Union address. Finally, we found that some of the most important units of analysis for general political theory—parties, the state, and policy experts—generated only a fraction of the political communication.

Brave new world: exploring the non-academic career pathways of women astronomy PhD graduates

Policies designed to retain women in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) tend to focus on the idea of the leaky pipeline, a model for retaining women by minimising the structural barriers that force them to leave. Retention during doctoral candidature and early career is seen as necessary for increasing women’s participation at higher levels within the sciences, and to create management and institutional equity and change. Problematically, however, this policy approach, and its focus on structural problems within the sciences, fails to consider the complexity of women’s lives, and minimises the levels of agency attributed to decision-making processes, particularly in relation to leaving their field of study. The expectation that, having attained a PhD in the sciences, women will automatically wish to stay in the academic STEM pipeline is limiting. Current doctoral programs fail to adequately recognise the importance of non-academic career pathways as legitimate career options outside the academy. This thesis addresses one of the fundamental assumptions about PhD education and policy; that women who undertake a PhD want to pursue academic careers and that non-academic careers are potentially a second choice. Through a case study of women who have engaged in doctoral research in Australia, this thesis argues that measures put in place by gender equity policies tend to benefit those who are directly employed in academic research, while ignoring the female graduates who move out of academia. By focusing resources only on retaining women in postgraduate programs, institutions are in fact restricting women’s science careers by limiting training opportunities and providing inadequate information on non-academic career choice, which in turn creates a perceived stigma about leaving the academy. By applying a feminist lens to a qualitative sociological study, this thesis examines the experiences of PhD educated women astronomers as they narrate their pathways into and out of academia. It sheds a particular light on transitional experiences and demonstrates the importance of agency in work-related decisions and the complex factors that influence women’s career choice. This thesis concludes that moving beyond a linear understanding of the pathways of women in STEM, towards an understanding of how women navigate complex labour market pathways outside the expected academic norm, will enable the development of better policy and programs to support women interested in the STEM fields.
Professional Stakeholders’ Concerns about Reunification Case Plan Requirements

Parents whose children have been removed from their care because of maltreatment must resolve their problems within a limited time period for the family to be reunified. Child welfare workers create case plans outlining a set of services intended to facilitate this, but evidence on the best approach for helping these often highly challenged parents is limited. In this qualitative study, attorneys, caseworkers, managers, and service providers from four jurisdictions are interviewed to understand practice and decision-making in reunification case planning and service delivery. A thematic analysis of the data reveals these stakeholders have serious concerns about the number of services case plans entail, and report that heavily loaded case plans can hinder reunification. To ensure agency efforts are effective rather than overwhelming, case planning and service delivery should better accommodate parents’ circumstances. Program models that ease parents’ access to services are also needed.
FRI0185 Tofacitinib versus biologic treatments with and without methotrexate in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis who have had an inadequate response to traditional disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs - a network meta-analysis

Background Tofacitinib (CP-690,550) is a novel, oral Janus kinase inhibitor that is being investigated as a targeted immunomodulator and disease-modifying therapy in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Objectives A network meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tofacitinib 5 and 10 mg BID relative to biologic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) in the treatment of RA patients who have shown an inadequate response to DMARDs (DMARD-IR), based on available randomised controlled trials (RCTs). Methods Thirty-three RCTs evaluating tofacitinib and various biologic DMARDs, dosed as monotherapy or in combination with methotrexate (MTX) or another DMARD, were identified through a systematic literature search. Individual study efficacy data, based on American College of Rheumatology (ACR) responses at Mo 3 and 6, were combined with network meta-analyses. Comparisons of safety were based on rates of treatment withdrawal due to adverse events (AEs). Results Both as monotherapy and in combination with MTX, tofacitinib 5 and 10 mg BID showed ACR responses comparable to currently available tumour necrosis factor inhibitors and tocilizumab at Mo 3 (see Table) and 6. Furthermore, in this analysis tofacitinib is at least as efficacious as abatacept, anakinra, and rituximab. Withdrawal rates from trials due to AEs were comparable. Conclusions Based on analyses of available RCTs, tofacitinib has similar efficacy in improving signs and symptoms as biologic DMARDs for DMARD-IR patients. Further analyses are needed to explore the impact of factors that may impact the magnitude of the placebo response and confound comparative treatment effects in treatment of RA. Impact of factors that confound comparative treatment effects in treatment of RA needs to be explored (e.g. starting MTX dose, duration and number of prior DMARDs). Disclosure of Interest M.
