MMLUP: Multi-source & Multi-task Learning for User Profiles in Social Network

: With the rapid development of the mobile Internet, users generate massive data in different forms in social network every day, and different characteristics of users are reflected by these social media data. How to integrate multiple heterogeneous information and establish user profiles from multiple perspectives plays an important role in providing personalized services, marketing, and recommendation systems. In this paper, we propose Multi-source & Multi-task Learning for User Profiles in Social Network which integrates multiple social data sources and contains a multi-task learning framework to simultaneously predict various attributes of a user. Firstly, we design their own feature extraction models for multiple heterogeneous data sources. Secondly, we design a shared layer to fuse multiple heterogeneous data sources as general shared representation for multi-task learning. Thirdly, we design each task’s own unique presentation layer for discriminant output of specific-task. Finally, we design a weighted loss function to improve the learning efficiency and prediction accuracy of each task. Our experimental results on more than 5000 Sina Weibo users demonstrate that our approach outperforms state-of-the-art baselines for inferring gender, age and region of social media users.
Metabolic signatures of pneumonia in critical care: a paradigm shift in diagnosis and therapeutic monitoring

Pneumonia and ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) are a frequent cause for admission to Intensive Care and complication of ventilation respectively. VAP occurs in 10-40% of patients requiring mechanical ventilation and is associated with increased mortality, morbidity and healthcare costs. Diagnosis can be difficult due to poor predictive value of clinical features and low specificity of radiological changes. Bronchoscopic techniques are often invasive, may not be suitable for all patients and are not without complications. New tests are required to improve the diagnosis of these conditions allowing early, appropriate antibiotic treatment. In this study several techniques were used to explore the value of profiling of a range of biofluids obtained from ventilated patients as an aid to diagnosis of pneumonia. Patients were recruited from Intensive Care with either a diagnosis of pneumonia or brain injury. Those with brain injuries were tracked to identify patients who developed VAP. Serum, urine and exhaled breath condensate (EBC) were collected from all patients. Metabonomics, an approach that identifies changes in metabolic profiles associated with disease, was applied using proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy to both blood and urine and with mass spectrometry (MS) to exhaled breath condensate. Following from the metabonomic work a panel of inflammatory mediators, including cytokines and eicosanoids were measured in serum using MS and flow cytometry to explore the inflammatory changes in these patients. Overall metabolic and inflammatory profiling of serum showed potential as an adjunct to clinical diagnosis especially when combined with clinical data. Analysis of urine and EBC proved more challenging due the number of drug metabolites and low concentration of metabolites they respectively contained. In summary this study has added to the field by demonstrating the potential for profiling techniques of serum from critically ill patients to assist in the diagnosis of both pneumonia and VAP.
RETRACTED: Pengasuhan Anak Usia Dini pada Keluarga Dayak Desa yang tinggal di Rumah Betang Ensaid Panjang

Abstract: The research that appears at this time is a lot that raises about early childhood parenting, but there are still a few who discuss parenting related to ethnicity and local culture in Indonesia. The purpose of this study was to describe the parenting of early childhood to the families of Dayak Desa who live in Betang House at Ensaid Panjang.

A Study of Morphological Variations in Femur: Implications for Use in Orthopedic Procedures. -

The principal purpose of this study was to contribute to Indian data on femoral geometry. However emphasis has been given on the amount of variability of a parameter, particularly femoral anteversion angle and neck shaft angle, and its clinical application in orthopaedic procedures. For this study a total of 100 (50 right and 50 left) samples of femora were selected from the medical college at Rajasthan. All femora were dried, adult, and intact. Eights parameters were studied: femoral anteversion angle (FNA), neck-shaft angle (NSA), femoral offset (FO), neck width (NW), Anterior/posterior neck length (ANL & PNL), Oblique/Trochanteric-oblique length (OL & TOL). IMAGEJ software analysis of digital photograph of femora was used to evaluate FNA, NSA & FO. Other materials used were vernier caliper and osteometric board. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS. Coefficient of Variation (CV) in percentage (%) was derived and compared with other studies. In the results FNA showed maximum CV (above 40) and NSA showed minimum CV (below 5). Retroversion was noted in 6% of samples. Our results compared well with other Indian as well as foreign studies. It was noted that FNA consistently showed high variability in the results of other authors. Thus our study shows that FNA is a challenge to surgeons (1) for its high CV (2) prevalence of retroversion and (3) wide range. Therefore anatomical variability in individuals should be kept in mind before planning any hip joint surgical procedure for better long-term outcome.

Genetic hearing impairment affects cochlear processing and, consequently, speech recognition in noise

The relation between speech recognition and hereditary hearing loss is not straightforward. Impaired cochlear processing of sound might be determined by underlying genetic defects. Data obtained in nine groups of patients with a specific type of genetic hearing loss were evaluated. For each group, the affected cochlear structure, or site-of-lesion, was determined based on previously published animal studies. Retrospectively obtained speech recognition scores in noise were related to several aspects of supra-threshold cochlear processing, as assessed by psychophysical measurements. The differences in speech perception in noise between these patient groups could be explained by these factors, and partially by the hypothesized affected structure of the cochlea, suggesting that speech recognition in noise was associated with genetics-related malfunctioning of the cochlea.
Edmodo & Schoology Application in Mathematics Learning in Elementary School

This article aims to determine the effectiveness of learning by including teaching material on the Edmodo and schoology application towards learning outcomes in fourth-grade elementary schools. Research data were collected quantitatively with experimental research using pre-experimental methods. Based on data analysis, the results of hypothesis testing using the t-test (t-test) were 12.03 and at the real level α = 0.05 thus t-count > ttable then H1 was accepted and H0 was rejected. There are differences in learning outcomes between students who use the Edmodo application before and after teaching material is given. Thus, the results show that Edmodo applications incorporated into teaching materials are more effectively used towards learning outcomes.
Processamento da Morfologia Flexional Verbal do Português Brasileiro: Um estudo com rastreamento ocular

The processing of inflectional verbal morphology has been the subject of an extensive debate in Psycholinguistics. Dual-mechanism theories support processing models in which regular verbal forms are processed via rule computation, while irregular verbal forms are retrieved in the memory. On the other hand, single-mechanism theories claim either regular and irregular inflected forms can be processed by means of a connectionist mechanism or by a process of morphological decomposition. Much of the evidence accumulated so far has been provided by studies of the English Past Tense. Unlike English, the Portuguese language has a complex verbal morphology. In view of the complexity of Portuguese verbal morphological system, a psycholinguistic experiment using the self-paced reading method associated with eye movement recording was conducted aiming at investigating if regular verbs that belong to different verbal classes and tenses are processed in the same or different way. A total of 108 native speakers of Brazilian Portuguese participated in the experiment. The results suggest that, in the processing of inflected verbal forms, verbal properties like verbal class and tense as well as syntactic elements that are part of the sentence in which the verb is inserted play a role in the processing of verbs.
Evidence of Sexual Transmission of Zika Virus

n engl j med 374;22 nejm.org June 2, 2016 2195 only one cerebellar hemisphere in 3 infants. In 2 infants, the brain stem was globally hypoplastic. In all the infants, there was abnormal hypodensity of the white matter, and in 87% of the patients it diffusely involved all the cerebral lobes. In 1 infant, chronic encephalomalacic changes from ischemic stroke in the vascular territory of the left middle cerebral artery were seen. Intrauterine ZIKV infection appears to be associated with severe brain anomalies, including calcifications, cortical hypogyration, ventriculomegaly, and white-matter abnormalities, although we cannot determine with certainty when ZIKV infection may have occurred during fetal development in these 23 infants. Our findings are nonspecific and may be seen in other congenital viral infections. The global presence of cortical hypogyration and white-matter hypomyelination or dysmyelination in all the infants and cerebellar hypoplasia in the majority of them suggest that ZIKV is associated with a disruption in brain development rather than destruction of brain. The neuronal and glial proliferation as well as neuronal migration appear to be affected. The mothers of the microcephalic infants in our study population had symptoms (e.g., low-grade fever and cutaneous rash) that were compatible with ZIKV infection during the first or second trimester of pregnancy, similar to the findings in other studies.4 Tang et al. found that ZIKV directly infects human cortical neural progenitor cells with high efficiency, resulting in stunted growth of this cell population and transcriptional dysregulation.5 This observation supports the type of disruptive, anomalous brain development that we found in these infants.

Role of guanine nucleotide regulatory protein in histamine secretion from digitonin-permeabilized rat mast cells

The role of guanine nucleotide regulatory protein in histamine secretion was investigated using rat mast cells permeabilized with digitonin. The addition of GTP, GTP analogues or NaF increased the sensitivity of secretion in response to Ca at concentrations higher than 0.4 rrM, resulting in a shift of the Ca dose-response curve to the left. GDP partially inhibited the stimulatory effect of GTPl’S without influencing the sensitivity of secretion to Ca alone. Treatment ofcells with pertussis toxin for 2 h did not alter the Ca dose-response curve in the presence or absence of GTP analogues or NaF, though the treatment decreased the response to compound 48/80. These results demonstrate the existence in mast cells of a guanine nucleo-tide-dependent mechanism that regulates the sensitivity of secretion in response to Ca.
Developing information systems technology within NHS wound clinics : an evaluation

The diffusion of information and communication technology (ICT) into healthcare has been generally low. This varies with application and setting, but at the point of care clinical level it has been particularly slow. The ICT niche in clinics has been recognised in numerous publications, where its potential benefits are proclaimed. A reoccurring factor identified with criticism of design in information systems research (ISR) is the difficulty in integrating the different human and technical elements. Activity Theory (AT) has been proposed as a means of overcoming this by providing a single theoretical framework able to represent relevant factors across all levels of operational abstraction. In this work the (practical) operational functionality of AT is employed (tested) as a basis for design and evaluation of ICT, applied to integration at the clinical level of the National Health Service (NHS) healthcare organisation. Chronic wound healing is a complex activity, with a long history and strong dependence on data, as observed and recorded by clinicians, to treat and heal patients. Wound clinics that are part of the NHS, which is currently actively pursuing a strategy for information technology (IT) integration in healthcare, afford the opportunity to develop specific ICT for wound data and consider issues of diffusion at different levels of the organisation. An Action Research paradigm, using methods borrowed from soft systems methodology (SSM), is applied to the problem of producing ICT to manage wound data in participating NHS clinics. Data are collected via naturalistic (participant) observation, 'in-depth' interviews and focus groups, and are recorded using ethnographic field notes, a research logbook and diary, and digital and analogue voice recordings. Activity models are generated, to interpret the research process and represent the activity at the action level of the clinic, situating the analysis, both within the network of supporting activities, and the influence and constraints of the administrative and the organisational levels. Practical findings highlight the potential of ICT in participating clinics, showing how this can be expanded to the chronic wound healing activity in general, and reporting the implications that this has for the NHS IT strategy at the level of the clinics involved with regards to integration of ICT. Theoretical findings support the suitability of the Action Research strategy and the relevance of AT both as a descriptive framework for information systems development (ISD), and as an evaluative framework for ISR
Overcoming Resource Scarcity: Consumers’ Response to Gifts Intending to Save Time and Money

Consumers feel increasingly pressed for time and money. Gifts have the potential to reduce scarcity in recipients’ lives, yet little is known about how recipients perceive gifts given with the intention of saving them time or money. Across five studies (N=1,816), we demonstrate that the recipients of gifts intending to save money experience more negative emotions and infer a lower status position than recipients of gifts intending to save time. Recipients experiencing greater financial scarcity (who may benefit most from gifts intending to save them money), experience negative emotions to a greater extent and perceive an even lower status position than recipients who experience relatively little financial scarcity. These findings are the first to directly evaluate the implications of receiving gifts seeking to address time and money scarcity and suggest that recipients may respond negatively to gifts given with the intention of saving money.
Preventing Routing Loop in Routing Distance Vector Protocol using Destination Sequence Distance Vector (DS-DV) Method)

Count to infinity is a problem that appear in the vector routing protocol. This is because, there is a routing loop caused by the nodes structure in the networking that create loop. The destination sequence – distance vector method can be a solution to prevent the routing loop, so that the count to infinity problem can be solved in the protocol routing distance vector.
Studentsâ?? Perceptions about Current Use, Effectiveness and Barriers in Implementation of Interactive Learning at College Of Medicine, Northern Border University, Arar

Objectives: To understand the perceptions of medical students about the current use of interactive learning, its effectiveness and barriers in its implementation. Method: A cross-sectional study was carried out at the College of Medicine, Northern Border University, Arar, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Study participants were fifth and final year medical students. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect the information in relation to perceptions regarding the use of interactive learning, its effectiveness, and barriers. The questionnaire consisted of Likert scale ranking and close-ended questions. The student’s response was analyzed by frequency analysis. Results: A total of 150 students participated in the study. The most frequently used methods for interactive learning at the College of Medicine were small group discussions (68%) and problem-based learning (56%). Educational games and online videos were used rarely. There was positive feedback regarding the effectiveness of interactive learning in generating interest in learning (84%) and understanding of subject (85%). 80% of the students also reported an improvement in exam scores as a result of interactive learning. The main barriers reported to adoption of interactive learning were inadequate class time (70%), faculty is accustomed to traditional lectures (66%) and lack of trained faculty members (40%). Conclusion: The data suggest despite barriers interactive teaching is being frequently and effectively used at the College of Medicine, Northern Border University, Arar. It is suggested more interactive learning techniques should be incorporated in the curriculum and barriers in adoption can be overcome by following faculty development programs and administrative support.
