From Data to Knowledge - Visualizations as Transformation Processes within the Data-Information-Knowledge Continuum

In this paper we suggest a different approach that considers visualizations in the wider domain of communication and defines a model capable of taking into account the context in which visualizations act as communication tools. In this perspective we consider visualizations as transformation processes within the Data-Information-Knowledge (DIK) continuum. In the paper we discuss the continuum, and apply the transformation process model to the main disciplines of visualization. Visualizations represent powerful cognitive tools that surround our everyday life [1]. By doing this we are able to think about visualization from a multidisciplinary perspective, exploring the role of visualizations in design practice, as artifacts that are used in facing problems of various degrees of complexity and nature. The contribution of the model is mainly addressed to orientate and nurture the reflective practice and to formalize the strategic more than the technical role of visualizations in the design discipline.
Post-metatheorizing Environmental Behaviours in Environmental Education

A five-participant dialogue is constructed using Kollmuss and Agyeman's (2002) model of pro-environmental behaviour, Stern's (2000) coherent theory of environmentally significant behaviour, the Hart and Nolan (1999) and Rickinson (2001) critical reviews of the environmental education research literature and this repondent's views. The dialogue demonstrates how metatheoretical development might selectively sensitize and circumstantially advance the practical aspirations of environmental education.
Presence of pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia-3 in a background of chronic pancreatitis in pancreatic cancer patients

The clinical significance of pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PanIN) lesions in non‐neoplastic pancreata of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patients remains controversial. As chronic inflammation has been recently demonstrated to promote dissemination of in situ precancerous lesions, we investigated the prognostic significance of PanINs associated with chronic pancreatitis (CP) in PDAC patients. This retrospective study analyzed 125 curatively resected PDAC specimens for the presence of PanIN and CP. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify significant predictive factors for poor disease‐free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS). Immunohistochemical staining for E‐cadherin and S100A4, markers of epithelial‐mesenchymal transition, was performed on resected specimens containing PanIN‐3 lesions. CP was observed in 27.2% (34/125) and PanIN‐3 in 25.6% (32/125) of specimens. In the presence of CP, PanIN‐3 was significantly associated with decreased survival (DFS: 4.3 vs 15.5 months, P = 0.021; OS: 16.3 vs 30.9 months, P = 0.004). PanIN‐3 was not a prognostic factor in the absence of CP. The presence of both PanIN‐3 and CP was associated with a reduced survival compared to the other cases, in both univariate (DFS: P = 0.039; OS: P = 0.023) and multivariate (DFS: P = 0.020; OS: P = 0.076) analyses. Furthermore, E‐cadherin loss and S100A4 expression were more frequently observed in PanIN‐3 lesions of CP specimens than in those of non‐CP specimens, although not statistically significant. PanIN‐3 in association with CP is a significant prognostic factor for decreased survival in PDAC patients, suggesting that chronic inflammation may accelerate the progression of preinvasive high‐grade PanIN.
Prediction of Stock Market using Ensemble Model

In the modern Digital Era, Data Mining is the powerful area for analyzing the large data sets to get unexpected relationships (models). The analysis of statistical data on sequential data points measured at regular time interval over a period of time is time series analysis. Time series analysis is used in predicting future occurrence of a time based event. One of the main areas where time series analysis is implied is in stock market prediction. The two important classification ways are Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Naive Bayes. SVM is a method used for the foreseeing of financial time based data sets. It uses a function called risk which contains a mistake and a term. The basic principle which is used to obtain this may be called as minimization of structural risk. Naive Bayes model assigns class labels for problem instances which can be denoted as vectors of feature measurements. For a given group variable, it takes into consideration that the numerical record of a specified feature is unique of others. Purpose of the present investigation is to develop an ensemble model namely AdaSVM and AdaNaive to analyse the stock data by comparing SVM and Naive Bayes methods. The performance evaluation measures such as accuracy and classification error were computed individually for the stock market data set. The experimental result shows AdaSVM and AdaNaive is acceptable than SVM and Naive Bayes.
Children's Comprehension of Relative Clauses in an Ergative Language: The Case of Basque

The investigation of the comprehension of L1 relative clauses across different languages has shown that subject relatives (SRs) are acquired earlier and responded to more accurately than object relatives (ORs). Most of this work has been based on SVO nominative-absolutive languages. In this article we present the results obtained in a binary picture-sentence matching task from L1 Basque, a highly inflected, ergative-absolutive, SOV language with prenominal relatives. The results obtained reveal that in Basque, ORs are responded to more accurately than SRs, which indicates that children do not comprehend SRs with more accuracy universally. The results are discussed in the light of different hypotheses put forward in the literature in order to account for the previously observed SR preference.
Circle Squared and Circle Keys Performing on and with an Unstable Live Algorithm for the Disklavier

Two related versions of an unstable live algorithm for the Disklavier player piano are presented. The underlying generative feedback system consists of four virtual musicians, listening to each other in a circular configuration. There is no temporal form, and all parameters of the system are controlled by the performer through an intricate but direct mapping, in an attempt to combine the experienced musician’s physical control of gesture and phrasing, with the structural complexities and richness of generative music. In the first version, Circle Squared, the interface is an array of pressure sensors, and the performer performs on the system without participating directly, like a puppet master. In the second version, control parameters are derived directly from playing on the same piano that performs the output of the system. Here, the performer both plays with and on the system in an intricate dance with the unpredictable output of the unstable virtual ensemble. The underlying mapping strategies are presented, together with the structure of the generative system. Experiences from a series of performances are discussed, primarily from the perspective of the improvising musician.
Association of Lack of Dreaming and Forgetfulness: Presentation of a Case with Depression

Although the aim and the function of sleeping is not definitely explained, its relation with memory has been discussed for more than 200 years. We want to discuss literature on dream-memory relation in the light of a depression case who was complaining from forgetfulness. We present a depression case who presented with complaints of forgetfulness and lack of dreaming and both complaints were relieved after treatment with fluoxetine 20 mg/day. We believe that investigating dreaming in patients who have memory disturbances can shade light on dreaming-memory relationship. Keywords: Dreaming, forgetfulness, depression
Antenarrative and managerial practice

An antenarrative approach to organizational communication acknowledges the fragmented, collective, situated, and performative nature of organizational stories and storytelling. Adopting an antenarrative approach to managerial practice focuses our attention on the ways individuals manage the multi‐voiced nonlinear character of organizfitional life. Antenarrative theory and its significance for managerial practice is overviewed followed by an explication of how an organizational consultancy firm has developed systemic story making as a core practice for managing the multiple, often conflicting stories comprising organizational experience. Systemic story making raises significant issues regarding how antenarrative theory may consider the relationships among stories, inquiry, and change.
Systemic and regional hemodynamics assessment in rats with fluorescent microspheres.

The aim of this study was to validate in rats an alternative to the radioactive microspheres (RM) reference technique, the fluorescent microspheres (FM), for the simultaneous determination of cardiac index (CI) and regional blood flows (RBF). Validation of the FM method was performed in three steps: (a) comparison of CI and RBF values obtained simultaneously by FM and RM, (b) determination of the repeatability of the measurements by using two successive injections of FM, and (c) evaluation of the ability of the FM method to assess vasodilating effects (by using dipyridamole). CI values (range, 242-513 ml/min x kg; n = 20) obtained with FM correlated with those obtained with RM (r = 0.82: p<0.001), and agreement was found between FM and RM (error 95% confidence interval for one pair, +/-125 ml/min x kg). FM RBF values, although smaller than corresponding RM RBF values, were correlated with the latter (range, 0.1-7 ml/min x g; n = 71; r = 0.99; p< 0.001). Agreement was dependent on RBF values, e.g., error 95% confidence intervals for one pair were 0.08-0.13 and 3.86-6.48 for 0.1 and 5 ml/min x g, respectively. Two successive FM injections at a 10-min interval (conscious rats) provided similar values (n = 14) for CI (306+/-24 vs. 346+/- 18 ml/min x kg), and renal (5.1+/-0.2 vs. 6.2+/-0.3 ml/min x g), left (6.1+/-0.3 vs. 5.8+/-0.4 ml/min x g) and right (4.8+/-0.4 vs. 4.7+/-0.3 ml/min x g) myocardial RBF. Corresponding error 95% confidence intervals were +/-187 ml/min x kg, +/-2.8, +/-2.2, and +/-2.0 ml/min x g, respectively. Dipyridamole (2, 4, 6, and 8 mg/kg x min for 10 min, i.v.; n = 9-13 per group, conscious rats) significantly and dose dependently increased left and right myocardial blood flows, whereas renal blood flow was not affected. We conclude that the FM technique (a) is reliable and in agreement with the RM method, (b) provides repeatable measurements of systemic and regional hemodynamics, and (c) allows detection and quantification of vasodilating effects in rats.
Accounting for orgasmic absence: exploring heterosex using the story completion method

Orgasms are central to academic and lay debates about sexual ‘normality’ and ‘dysfunction’ and are culturally constructed as the peak of heterosexual sex (Potts, 2000). Conversely, sexual interaction without orgasm is positioned as ‘only foreplay’, a failure or dysfunctional. Examining how people account for orgasmic absence during heterosex using a story completion method, this article addresses three key themes: (1) ‘reciprocity, blame and the orgasmic imperative’, which places obligations on both men and women to elicit or deliver an orgasm to another; (2) ‘sex work, technique and the orgasmic imperative’, which indicates the growth of a ‘performance imperative’ in which both men and women must work to improve their sexual skills and (3) ‘honesty and dishonesty in sexual communication’ in which open communication is positioned as difficult but key to solving sexual difficulties. Collectively, these themes demonstrate how gendered discourses of sexuality coalesce to produce an orgasmic imperative that provides different entitlements and obligations for both men and women.
The Patient Health Questionnaire-2: Validity of a Two-Item Depression Screener

Background. A number of self-administered questionnaires are available for assessing depression severity, including the 9-item Patient Health Questionnaire depression module (PHQ-9). Because even briefer measures might be desirable for use in busy clinical settings or as part of comprehensive health questionnaires, we evaluated a 2-item version of the PHQ depression module, the PHQ-2. Methods. The PHQ-2 inquires about the frequency of depressed mood and anhedonia over the past 2 weeks, scoring each as 0 (“not at all”) to 3 (“nearly every day”). The PHQ-2 was completed by 6000 patients in 8 primary care clinics and 7 obstetrics–gynecology clinics. Construct validity was assessed using the 20-item Short-Form General Health Survey, self-reported sick days and clinic visits, and symptom-related difficulty. Criterion validity was assessed against an independent structured mental health professional (MHP) interview in a sample of 580 patients. Results. As PHQ-2 depression severity increased from 0 to 6, there was a substantial decrease in functional status on all 6 SF-20 subscales. Also, symptom-related difficulty, sick days, and healthcare utilization increased. Using the MHP reinterview as the criterion standard, a PHQ-2 score ≥3 had a sensitivity of 83% and a specificity of 92% for major depression. Likelihood ratio and receiver operator characteristic analysis identified a PHQ-2 score of 3 as the optimal cutpoint for screening purposes. Results were similar in the primary care and obstetrics–gynecology samples. Conclusion. The construct and criterion validity of the PHQ-2 make it an attractive measure for depression screening.
Optimum shortened cyclic codes for burst-error correction

This paper is concerned with the construction of the most efficient shortened cyclic (pseudo-cyclic) codes that can correct every burst-error of length b or less. These codes have the maximum number of information digits k among all shortened cyclic burst- b codes with a given number of check digits r . The search procedure described is readily programmable for computer execution and efficient particularly for the case where r is close to the theoretical minimum of 2b check digits. For 2 \leq b \leq 10 , several optimum shortened cyclic codes in the above-mentioned sense have been found. Their code-lengths and generators are tabulated in this paper.
Cladistics as historiography: part I – introduction to cladistics

This paper is an introduction to cladistics, a qualitative evolutionary classification technique, as a method for historiography. An example of classification is provided, and used to present briefly the cladistic methodology. The benefits and applications of cladistics to business research are discussed. The three main benefits of cladistics are to: provide a method for historiography; combine effectively tasks of analysis and synthesis; and be an ideal support for collective modeling.
Time and Consumer Behavior: An Interdisciplinary Overview

Despite the fact that time pervades every aspect of human behavior, consumer researchers have given it scant attention. Our objective is to stimulate much-needed conceptual and empirical attention regarding the relationships between time and consumer behavior. The approach adopted here is to review what has been published on the subject in the fields of economics, sociology, home economics, psychology, and marketing and to advance a rudimentary terminology appropriate for the exploration of these relationships.
Developmental Studies of Visual Recognition of Incomplete Objects

A major difficulty encountered in comparative-developmental research is the location of experimental tasks which are within the response limits of widely disparate cross-sectional samples. The tasks must be easy enough so that fairly young Ss can come to grips with them and difficult enough so that adult Ss have to do some work in order to master the tasks. Correlated with the dimension of wo~kability of tasks are motivational factors which involve aspects such as attention, fatigue, and boredom. These aspects determine to a considerable extent the length of tasks which may be used and the amount of effort which will be expended by Ss. It is no surprise, in view of these difficulties, that the bulk of studies in developmental psychology are confined to proximate cross-sectional samples. It is important to note, in this general context, that the procedural and methodological problems which arise in attempts to investigate ontogenetic behavioral development may represent signposts to essential aspects of psychological functioning. These problems are discussed more extensively elsewhere by Gollin (1956, 1960) and Wohlwill (1960). The above considerations entered into the selection of materials for the present experiments. Common meaningful objects (they were copied from books prepared for pre-school age children) were selected for the recognition task. The problem under consideration was two-fold: first, how complete must the representation of a common object be in order that it be recognized; second, to what extent may the completeness of representation required for recognition be reduced as a function of training? In most investigations of the effects of experience upon recognition the stunidus materials are exposed at tachistoscopic speeds. Since very young children were to be employed in the present studies, longer exposure times were introduced and the size of the stimulus displays was made larger than is customary.
Real-Time Full-Body Motion Capture from Video and IMUs

A real-time full-body motion capture system is presented which uses input from a sparse set of inertial measurement units (IMUs) along with images from two or more standard video cameras and requires no optical markers or specialized infra-red cameras. A real-time optimization-based framework is proposed which incorporates constraints from the IMUs, cameras and a prior pose model. The combination of video and IMU data allows the full 6-DOF motion to be recovered including axial rotation of limbs and drift-free global position. The approach was tested using both indoor and outdoor captured data. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach for tracking a wide range of human motion in real time in unconstrained indoor/outdoor scenes.
Intrarater Reliability of the Functional Movement Screen

Abstract Gribble, PA, Brigle, J, Pietrosimone, BG, Pfile, KR, and Webster, KA. Intrarater reliability of the functional movement screen. J Strength Cond Res 27(4): 978–981, 2013—The Functional Movement Screen (FMS) is a tool that quantifies movement patterns as a way to detect performance asymmetries. Although previous study has investigated the reliability of FMS, no current research has examined intrarater reliability or how clinical experience plays a role in the reliability of this tool. In this controlled laboratory study design, repeated measures were used to investigate how experience using the FMS and clinical experience as an athletic trainer (AT) affects the intrarater reliability of FMS testing. Before the data collection, 3 individuals recruited from the university community provided signed informed consent to serve as videotaped models performing the FMS test. The participants (raters) in the study, with different levels of FMS and clinical experience, viewed each of the 3 videotaped models and rated the video models on each exercise of the FMS according to the script that was presented by one of the study investigators. A week later, the participants watched the same videos again, in a different randomized order, and rated each video model on each exercise. After the scores from the participants were collected from both sessions, the intersession scores of the FMS were examined to establish intrarater reliability of all the participants. Additionally, the intrarater reliability of different groups of clinicians and students was compared to make inferences about the influence of clinical experience as an AT along with previous experience using the FMS. The ATs with at least 6 months of experience using the FMS (ATExp group) had the strongest intrarater reliability [intraclass correlation coefficients, ICC (2,1): 0.946], followed by the AT group with moderate reliability [ICC (2,1): 0.771]. This study indicates that intrarater reliability is strong and seems to strengthen when the individuals have experience using the FMS in addition to clinical experience.
Symmetries for a Class of Explicitly Space- and Time-Dependent (1+1)-Dimensional Wave Equations

The general d’Alembert equation ✷u + f (t, x, u) = 0 is considered, where ✷ is the two-dimensional d’Alembert operator. We classify the equation for functions f by which it admits several Lie symmetry algebras, which include the Lorentz symmetry generator. The conditional symmetry properties ofthe equation are discussed.
Encouraging servant leadership: A qualitative study of how a cause-related sporting event inspires participants to serve

A longitudinal, qualitative case study was conducted to explore if a cause-related sporting event could inspire participants to serve others and how the event achieved this. Servant leadership theory, social leverage theory, and social capital theory were used to inform the investigation. Findings revealed the event encouraged servant leadership. The structural mechanisms and social processes which helped to achieve this were: (a) creating event-related social events to build a community; (b) encouraging themes and hosting ceremonies to create a culture of storytelling and safe spaces; and (c) facilitating formal and informal gathering places to foster celebration. These structural mechanisms and social processes then generated individual-level impacts, which helped participants practice servant leadership by: (a) developing broader identities; (b) nurturing participants’ abilities to see they can make a difference; and (c) strengthening awareness of the healing power of service. A conceptual framework emerged from the data to describe how a cause-related sporting event can create a sustainable community of servant leaders.
