In this paper we use unique retrospective family background data from Wave 13 of the British Household Panel Survey (BHPS) on different birth cohorts to analyze the relevance of family background, in particular parental education, and gender on differential educational achievement. We find parents’ education attainments to be strong predictors of the education of their offspring. In particular, maternal education is the main determinant on the decision of whether stay-on beyond compulsory education. Our results are robust to the inclusion of a large set of control variables, including household income. A second research question addressed in the paper investigates whether the large expansion of the UK educational system during the last decades has concurred with enhanced relative educational opportunities for children of parents with low educational background. The analysis reveals that the relevance of parental education over time becomes stronger in terms of achieving higher educational levels, in particular university degree. However, there are significant dissimilarities with respect to gender differences; in particular we observe a positive secular trend in female education attainment associated to maternal education.

Hydatidiform mole in Aminu Kano teaching hospital, northwestern Nigeria: a five year review.

Background : Hydatidiform mole is a benign tumour of the trophoblast tissue and a relatively common gynaecological emergency. It could resolve spontaneously following evacuation, however 9-20% of patients with complete hydatidiform mole go on to have gestational trophoblast neoplasia. It is potentially curable once the correct diagnosis is made and the treatment is commenced early. Objective : This study is aimed at determining the incidence of hydatidiform mole in Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital (AKTH), its age distribution, complication and outcome Study Design : A retrospective review of case of hydatidiform mole managed in Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital, Kano between 1st January, 2009 and 31st December, 2012. Patients' information were obtained from gynaecology ward admission record book, and patient files were retrieved from the record department and data analysed using SPSS version 11. Result : 87 cases of hydatidiform mole were managed during the study period. 57 cases were retrieved and analysed with a retrieval rate of 66%. The mean age of the was 30.42(SD7.8). The incidence of hydatidiform mole in this study is 1 in 260 deliveries. The mean parity was 3.68 (SD 2.69). The commonest presentation was vaginal bleeding (47.4%). Half of the patients (52.6%) had preevacuation serum beta HCG and only 21.1% had beta HCG estimation at six weeks post evacuation. The only complication was severe vaginal bleeding requiring blood transfusion (10.5%). 10.5% of the cases progressed to choriocarcinoma. Conclusion : Hydatidiform mole remains a common premalignant lesion of the female genital tract. Early diagnosis and strict follow ups with relevant investigation is necessary for early detection of progression to choriocarcinoma. Keywords : hydatidiform mole, incidence, complications, Kano

Glioblastoma Multiforme Classification On High Resolution Histology Image Using Deep Spatial Fusion Network

Brain tumor is a growth of abnormal cells in brain, which canbe cancerous or non-cancerous. The Brain tumor have scarce symptomsso it is very difficult to classify. Diagnosing brain tumor with histologyimages will efficiently helps us to classify brain tumor types. Sometimes,histology based image analysis is not accepted due to its variations inmorphological features. Deep learning CNN models helps to overcomethis problem by feature extraction and classification. Here proposed amethod to classify high resolution histology image. InceptionResNetV2is an CNN model, which is adopted to extract hierarchical features with-out any loss of data. Next generated deep spatial fusion network to ex-tract spatial features found in between patches and to predict correct fea-tures from unpredictable discriminative features. 10-fold cross-validationis performed on the histology image. This achieves 95.6 percent accu-racy on 4-class classification (benign, malignant, Glioblastoma, Oligo-dendroglioma). Also obtained 99.1 percent accuracy and 99.6 percentAUC on 2-way classification (necrosis and non-necrosis).
LIMUS: exploration of technological prototypes for location-based services in museums

This paper explores three technologies: acoustic, visible light, and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) to provide Location-Based Services (LBS) in museums or archaeological sites. Acoustic and visible light beacons have been speciﬁcally designed, whereas for BLE a commercial beacon has been chosen. Also, a mobile phone application has been developed which implements the identiﬁcation algorithms for each proposed technology. Once the artwork has been identiﬁed, its information is displayed on the mobile phone screen. A set of experimental tests has been carried out in order to evaluate the performance of each technology. Results have shown a robust detection radius of 1.5 m around the acoustic and BLE beacons, while this radius decreases to 0.5 m for the visible light beacon. Results have also revealed the existence of some phenomena that worsen the detection quality in certain areas. This should be addressed in an evolved version of this work.
Educational intervention aimed at people with diabetes mellitus in Granma province

Objective: to assess the extent of knowledge about diabetes mellitus of patients before and after an educational intervention in the form of a basic information course about this illness. Methods: a descriptive study was conducted in 311 diabetic patients admitted to the Center of Care for Diabetes in Bayamo, Granma province, from July 2010 through June 2011. The knowledge about this disease was evaluated through a duly validated questionnaire to be answered at the beginning and at the end of the educational intervention. Results: at the beginning of the course, 301 (96.8 %) patients knew poorly their disease, whereas at the end, just 21 (6.8 %) showed the same condition. The patients who did not manage to acquire enough pieces of knowledge to control over their disease presented longer time of evolution, higher number of microvascular and macrovascular complications and older age than those who did it. The low level of knowledge about diabetes was also related to rural origin and low schooling. Conclusions: knowledge about diabetes mellitus of sick persons in this territory was poor. Therefore, an educational intervention is needed to make the patients better understand their disease; additionally, the comprehensive health care areas and the doctor's offices in the territory must provide this type of courses to a larger quantity of diabetics according to the characteristics and requirements of the participating group.
Plasma Collagen XVIII in Response to Intensive Aerobic Running and Aqueous Extraction of black Crataegus elbursensis in Male Rats

Angiogenesis is a process that can be classified into physiological and pathophysiological forms. Collagen XVIII is a part of extracellular protein and heparan sulfate proteoglycans in vascular epithelial and endothelial basement membrane cause the release of endostatin from noncollagenous collagen XVIII. Endostatin inhibits the growth of endothelial cells, inhibits angiogenesis , weakens different types of cancer, and the growth of tumors. The purpose of the current study was to investigate the effect of intensive aerobic running with or without aqueous extraction of black Crataegus elbursensis on Collagen XVIII in male rats. Design: Thirty-two Wistar male rats (4-6 weeks old, 125-135 gr weight) were acquired from the Pasteur's Institute (Amol, Mazandaran), and randomly assigned into control (n = 16) and training (n = 16) groups. Rats were further divided into saline-control (SC) (n = 8), saline-training (ST) (n = 8), crataegus pentaegyna extraction -control (CPEC) (n = 8), and crataegus pentaegyna extraction - training (CPET) (n = 8). The control (SC and CPEC) groups remained sedentary; whereas the training groups underwent a high running exercise program. Plasma were excised and immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen. Statistical analysis was performed using a one way analysis of variance and Tukey test. Significance was accepted at P = 0.05. The results show that aerobic exercise group had the highest concentration collagen XVIII compared to other groups and then respectively black crataegus, training-crataegus and control groups. In general, researchers in this study concluded that the increase of collagen XVIII (albeit insignificant) as a result of physical activity and consumption of black crataegus extract could possibly serve as a regional inhibitor of angiogenesis and another evidence for the anti-cancer effects of physical activities.
Financial Liberalisation and Economic Growth: A Panel Investigation

This study is aimed to examine the effect of Financial Liberalisation (FL) on economic growth. This study uses panel data of 58 countries, from 1973 to 2012, by applying the Panel Cointegration via Fully Modified Ordinary Least Square (FMOLS) method. This study constitutes FL index made up of eight dimensions of banking sector reforms. The estimation results found that Least Developed Countries (LDCs) showed more positively significant response to FL than Developed Countries (DCs). The reason is that most of the LDCs’ financial systems constitutes dominant banking sector, whereas most of the DCs’ financial systems are dominantly market based. Moreover, too much liberalisation shows ambiguous results in both groups of countries. The DCs are found to have significantly negative effect of too much FL, which infers that too much liberalisation harm the financial institutions and further the economic stability, via Currency over-valuation, capital flight, liquidity problems, financial distress, and eventually an occasional financial crisis. Whereas the LDCs’ result shows a positive and significant effect of too much FL, which shows that they still have the capacity to absorb the beneficial effects of more financial reforms that are consequently beneficial for the financial intermediaries development and hence fosters the growth rate.
Personalized recommendation of crowd-funding campaigns: A bipartite graph approach for sparse data

Bipartite graph is a global optimal algorithm, which enables direct recommendation of crowdfunding campaigns. In our method, PersonalRank is applied to calculate global similarity for a network in an iterative manner. It can be applied to recommendations where Cosine similarity function is ineffective. Furthermore, we propose a bipartite graph based collaborative filtering (CF) by combining CF and PersonalRank. The nodes are classified into one of the following two types: user nodes and item nodes. For any two types of nodes, the new model calculates the global similarity between the nodes by PersonalRank, and obtains the recommendation list through CF algorithm. Experiment results show that the bipartite graph based CF achieves better performance for the extremely sparse data from crowd-funding community.
Hearing Impairment in Vascular Disorders

Objective: Cochlea is provided with the arterial blood by the labyrinthine artery that is an end-branch of the vertebrobasilar system. Therefore, it is very susceptible to any compromise of the systemic and local circulation. During the last decades, a good proportion of the audio-vestibular disorders, that is previously labelled as “idiopathic” are proved to be of vascular origin through the advances in the study of microcirculation of the inner ear. This study aims to review the relevant literature on the relationship of inner ear pathologies, hearing loss in particular, and local and systemic vascular diseases in order to put together the current knowledge on the subject in a comprehensive manner. Material and Methods: A literature search have been conducted through “Pubmed” and full texts of relevant literature have been obtained. Results: A total of 82 landmark publications have been selected and used for the study. Conclusion: In this literature review, characteristics of cochlear blood flow and its disturbances are summarized with their clinical correspondences as to include recent findings.
Emotional Text Analysis (ETA) as contribution to the construction of an audience development questionnaire: a cultural festival case study

This paper presents a research-action case where, through text analysis, a questionnaire supporting organizational strategies of audience development for cultural and creative services has been created. The process was realised in two phases: the first, lasting three years (2012-2014), allowed us to explore the context of an Italian literary festival through the text analysis of a broad number of interviews (395) gathered during the events of this festival; in the second phase, a questionnaire constructed using the data produced in the preceding phase was administered (to 330 people) in the fourth edition of same festival (2015). The transition from textual analysis to the construction of a part of the items of the questionnaire will be discussed in this paper. Key-words: exploratory text analysis, questionnaire, Emotional Text Analysis (ETA), co-occurrences analysis, sentiment, mot plein, dense word, Local Culture, Indicators of Organizational Development (IOD), cultural events, audience development, impact, stakeholders.
Effect of Over-Pressure on Pipeline Structural Integrity

The effect of proof over-pressure on pipeline structural integrity using fracture mechanics parameters is analysed in the case of pipeline in Reversed Hydro Power Plant, made of High Strength Low Alloyed steel with 800 MPa tensile strength due to special design requirements. To assess its structural integrity, extensive testing of the full-scale prototype had been performed, including hydrostatic pressurizing. Since plastic strain was recorded during proof over-pressurizing, special attention is given to the fact that this is actually a mechanism for crack initiation and propagation. To investigate this effect micromechanical modelling is considered, as well as the Failure Assessment Diagramme. It is shown that over-pressuring has potential detrimental effect on pipeline safety, i.e. structural integrity.
Earthquake Activities along the Ranong-Klong Marui Fault Zone, Southern Thailand: Implication from the Seismicity Data

In this study, the earthquake activities along the Ranong-Klong Marui Fault Zone (RKFZ) are investigated using the power law of earthquake frequency-magnitude distribution (FMD). The possible maximum magnitudes, recurrence periods, including the probabilities of earthquake occurrences are determined according to the constant aand b-values obtained from the FMD. The results reveal that the RKFZ has a potential to generate the earthquake with 6.3 and 6.9 Mw in the next 50 and 100 years. Meanwhile, the Mw-7.4 earthquake proposed previously as the maximum credible earthquake has the return period around 230 year. Moreover, for the probabilities of the Mw-7.4 occurrences in the next 10, 25, 50, and 100 years, this study concludes that there are around 4, 10, 20, and 36%, respectively.
A destination prediction algorithm using spatial temporal bidirectional LSTM networks

Destination prediction provides important support for many location-based applications, such as urban resource dispatching, targeted advertising, etc. Destination prediction using sparse and partial movement trajectories poses many challenges. The traditional destination prediction methods using Markov model suffer from the data sparsity problem. Though the recurrent neural network (RNN) based destination prediction can handle the data sparsity problem, it only focuses on the context relationship between sequences and ignores the spatial-temporal information behind trajectories. In this paper, we introduce a spatial temporal bidirectional long-short term memory (ST-BiLSTM) network to destination prediction. This proposed method not only makes advantage of LSTM to handle data sparsity and long-term dependencies, but also employs the bidirectional structure of LSTM to effectively model the beginning and end of the sequence, which have greater correlation between sequences. Furthermore, we embed the spatial-temporal factors into the gates equations to further boost the prediction accuracy of the model. Experimental results on the taxi trajectory dataset in the city of Porto, demonstrate that our proposed algorithm outperforms the standard LSTM and BiLSTM models with more than 15% and 10% accuracies, respectively.
Assumptions and applications of physical therapy in autism

Background: The theory of mind (ToM), defined as the ability to recognize differences between and identifying one’s mental states, is currently believed to be a crucial condition concerning human body development. The lack of ToM capabilities indicates cognitive and developmental disturbances that may occur in autism, when primarily neurological and somatic impairments, along with social deficits, manifest themselves in a variety of deformities in posture and movement disorders. When taking into account the view of the Yale School of Medicine of autistic spectrum as related to Pervasive Developmental Disorder, not other specified (PDD-NOS), which symptoms refer in some cases to atypical autism, while in others, do not meet the autistic features, one can be aware of the challenges in the undertaken process of therapy with autistic patients, that complementarily includes physical rehabilitation. Objective: To reveal successive proceedings of the short and long term goals prescribed to KabatKaiser’s PNF and Souchard’s global posture re-education in case of autistic individuals. Methods: Analysis of the world recognized scientists’ works devoted to autism key facts considering the expected efficacy of treatment with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) patients that has been based upon the inclusion criteria for medical and social case study. Results: The currently recognized methods of rehabilitation that have the roots in the classic conceptions of Frenkel and Lovet, meet the demands to implement the therapeutic tasks in autism. Conclusion: The physical therapy in autism aimed at diminishing the multilevel postural and movement disabilities constitutes one of the pillars of the caregivers’ team combatting the ASD severities.
THE LINK BETWEEN PSYCHOSOCIAL STRESSORS AND CANCER INCIDENCE: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW

and full text evaluation. Results: After literature screening, thirty-five articles remained. Most of these studies examined stressful life events, but also job strain, social support, socioeconomic inequality, living conditions, teenage motherhood and suicide attempt resulted from the literature search. Most of the publications on life events reported a significant outcome. The publications about job strain and socioeconomic inequality seemed to be contradictory. The results regarding social support were mostly non-significant. Teenage motherhood and unfavourable living conditions seemed to be associated with cancer development, but suicide attempt did not result in a higher cancer risk. Discussion: Further research should focus on interacting and combined effects of different stressor types on cancer incidence, especially in hormone-related and lifestyle-related cancer types. Knowledge about a possible relation between psychosocial stressors and cancer development might be important in terms of prevention, as less screening participation and unhealthy lifestyle are common in stressed people. Conclusion: Psychosocial stressors might play a role in cancer development. Especially stressful life events seem to have a negative impact on cancer incidence. However, more research is needed to evaluate the effect of combined stressors on cancer development.
Competition Policy and Economic Growth – Is There a Causal Factor ?

Competition policy, basically, covers two elements. The first involving putting in place a set of policies that promotes competition in local and national markets, such as relaxed industrial policy, liberalised trade policy, easy exit and entry conditions, reduced controls and greater reliance on market forces. The second one, considered most critical, comprises legislation, judicial decisions and regulations specifically aimed at preventing anticompetitive business practices, avoiding concentration and abuse of market power. Although competition law is part of competition policy, the majority of countries started with the adoption of competition laws, without any competition policy in place.
Value-at-Risk and Extreme Value Distributions for Financial Returns of French Firms

The ability of the Generalised Extreme Value, Generalised Logistic and Generalised Pareto distributions to fit extreme financial returns in the French stock market is assessed. The results indicate that the GEV is not the most appropriate model for the data since the fatter tailed GL is found to provide better descriptions of the extreme minima. Extreme Value Theory based VaR estimates are then derived and compared to those generated by traditional methods. The results show that when the focus is on the really ruinous events which are located deep into the tails of the returns distribution, the Extreme Value Theory methods used in this study can be particularly useful since they produce estimates that outperform those derived by traditional methods at high confidence levels. However, these estimates were found to be considerably higher than those derived by traditional VaR models; consequently leading to higher Minimum Capital Requirements.
