Narrabat — a Prototype Service for Stylish News

Nowadays, news portals are forced to seek new methods of engaging the audience due to the increasing competition in today’s mass media. The growth in the loyalty of news service consumers may further a rise of popularity and, as a result, additional advertising revenue. Therefore, we propose the tool that is intended for stylish presenting of facts from a news feed. Its outputs are little poems that contain key facts from different news sources, based on the texts of Russian classics. The main idea of our algorithm is to use a collection of classical literature or poetry as a dictionary of style. The facts are extracted from news texts through Tomita Parser and then presented in the form similar to a sample from the collection. During our work, we tested several approaches for text generating, such as machine learning (including neural networks) and template-base method. The last method gave us the best performance, while the texts generated by the neural network are still needed to be improved. In this article, we present the current state of Narrabat, a prototype system rephrasing news we are currently working on, give examples of generated poems, and discuss some ideas for future performance improvement.
Vitamin E but Not GSH Decreases Reactive Oxygen Species Accumulation and Enhances Sperm Production during In Vitro Maturation of Frozen-Thawed Prepubertal Mouse Testicular Tissue

Freezing–thawing procedures and in vitro culture conditions are considered as a source of stress associated with increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, leading to a damaged cell aerobic metabolism and consequently to oxidative stress. In the present study, we sought to investigate whether vitamin E (Vit E) or reduced glutathione (GSH) enhances sperm production by decreasing ROS accumulation during in vitro maturation of prepubertal mice testes. Testes of prepubertal mice were cryopreserved using a freezing medium supplemented or not supplemented with Vit E and were cultured after thawing. In presence of Rol alone in culture medium, frozen-thawed (F-T) testicular tissues exhibited a higher ROS accumulation than fresh tissue during in vitro culture. However, Vit E supplementation in freezing, thawing, and culture media significantly decreased cytoplasmic ROS accumulation in F-T testicular tissue during in vitro maturation when compared with F-T testicular tissue cultured in the presence of Rol alone, whereas GSH supplementation in culture medium significantly increased ROS accumulation associated with cytolysis and tissue disintegration. Vit E but not GSH promoted a better in vitro sperm production and was a suitable ROS scavenger and effective molecule to improve the yield of in vitro spermatogenesis from F-T prepubertal mice testes. The prevention of oxidative stress in the cytoplasmic compartment should be regarded as a potential strategy for improving testicular tissue viability and functionality during the freeze–thaw procedure and in vitro maturation.
Measuring and Understanding Authentic Youth Engagement: The Youth-Adult Partnership Rubric.

Christens, & Powers, 2013). The Y-AP model is defined as “the practice of (a) multiple youth and multiple adults deliberating and acting together (b) in a collective (democratic) fashion (c) over a sustained period of time (d) through shared work (e) intended to promote social justice, strengthen an organization and/or affirmatively address a community issue” (Zeldin et al., 2013, p. 388). Unlike traditional OST programs, in which youth are viewed as service recipients, the Y-AP model emphasizes that youth serve in meaningful leadership roles in the organization or program. Studies show that programs using a Y-AP model have offered youth such diverse and meaningful roles as being youth council members, activity leaders, or program representatives in community events (Zeldin, Camino, & Mook, 2005). Research has also found that these experiences facilitate the development of youth autonomy (Akiva, Cortina, & Smith, 2014), which is a critical developmental need for adolescence. These leadership roles also contribute to youths’ empowerment and civic engagement, develop social-emotional skills, Heng-Chieh Jamie Wu, Mariah Kornbluh, John Weiss, and Lori Roddy
Role of Hypoxia and Metabolism in the Development of Neointimal Hyperplasia in Arteriovenous Fistulas

For patients with end-stage renal disease requiring hemodialysis, their vascular access is both their lifeline and their Achilles heel. Despite being recommended as primary vascular access, the arteriovenous fistula (AVF) shows sub-optimal results, with about 50% of patients needing a revision during the year following creation. After the AVF is created, the venous wall must adapt to new environment. While hemodynamic changes are responsible for the adaptation of the extracellular matrix and activation of the endothelium, surgical dissection and mobilization of the vein disrupt the vasa vasorum, causing wall ischemia and oxidative stress. As a consequence, migration and proliferation of vascular cells participate in venous wall thickening by a mechanism of neointimal hyperplasia (NH). When aggressive, NH causes stenosis and AVF dysfunction. In this review we show how hypoxia, metabolism, and flow parameters are intricate mechanisms responsible for the development of NH and stenosis during AVF maturation.
A Differential Measurement(DM) of Congestion Level in ATM Network

Summary A differential measurement of congestion level is introduced to enhance the cost function to be applied in routing strategy inorder to maximize the utilization of the installed resources as well as balancing the load in ATM networks is introduced. The differential measurement of congestion level is based on computing the number of in-progress calls within each reallocation period several times, which leads to find out the rate of loading. At each node (ATM switch) there is a controller for computing the occupied capacity, the residual capacity and the available capacity to prevent any call rejection if there is sufficient amount of bandwidth supporting the arriving calls. When a new call requests a connection, the bandwidth allocation controller assigns for it the required bandwidth, if there is enough resources, otherwise it will be rejected. After the call is completed, the assigned bandwidth will be released and returned back to the remaining amount of capacity, which we will call the channel reserve capacity. Once the call is accepted, the cost function will guide it to follow the least congested route taking into account the congestion level and the rate of loading at the next node. Some simulation results are
Selektivität bei der Zuweisung erwerbsfähiger Hilfebedürftiger in Trainingsmaßnahmen oder zu privaten Vermittlungsdienstleistern (What determines the assignment of means-tested unemployment benefit II recipients to a short-term training programme or a private placement service?)

"At the start of the year 2005 the Social Code II came into force in Germany. The reform introduced a unified means-tested benefit, the unemployment benefit II, for employable people who live in needy households. Prior to this reform they could have either received unemployment assistance benefit or (with little or no employment history) social benefit. A major goal of the reform is the integration of needy but employable people into the labour market. We regard two policies that aim at achieving this goal: (short-term) training programmes and the assignment to private placement services. The study relies on a large administrative data set of unemployment benefit II recipients. With probit models we investigate the individual determinants of the probability of entering from the unemployment stock at the end of January 2005 into each of these programmes in February 2005. We address the question whether people with particular problems of getting a job, like aged people or people without formal qualifications, are targeted by these policies. According to the new law all employable members of needy families should be activated. This includes partners of former unemployment insurance benefit recipients who did not participate in the labour market and are most likely hard-to-place. Our results do not suggest that the programmes generally target unemployed people who are particularly hard-to-place. This may be partly explained by the institutional set-up of the programmes. All programmes target young adults. " (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))
Soil food web controls on nitrogen mineralization are influenced by agricultural practices in humid temperate climates

Agricultural crop production depends upon judicious use of nitrogen (N) fertilizers to sustain yields. Globally, the N recovery rate by crops is about 60%, meaning that the rest of the N applied to agroecosystems is transformed to forms that are not available for crop uptake or are lost to the environment. Considering that part of the soil N supplied to crops comes from biological N2 fixation and mineralization of soil organic N, quantifying these contributions could reduce our reliance on exogenous N inputs. This review examined how the microbially mediated reactions of N mineralization and nitrification contribute to the soil N supply, and biotic controls on these reactions in the soil food web. Potential N mineralization by heterotrophic bacteria and fungi can exceed 10% of the total soil N per year, and ammonium released by mineralization is rapidly transformed to nitrate through the action of chemoautotrophic ammonia oxidizers (bacteria and archaea) followed by heterotrophic and chemoautotrophic nitrifiers (bacteria and fungi). Predation of these micro-organisms, primarily by soil microfauna, accounts for additional release of ammonium, estimated at 32‐38% of the annual N mineralization. Soil meso- and macro-fauna also contribute to N mineralization and nitrification by accelerating the decomposition of organic substrates and modifying the soil habitat in ways that favour microbial activity. Tillage, application of organic amendments and improving soil drainage in humid temperate regions should favour N mineralization and nitrification processes in soil food web, whereas agrochemical use is expected to have a negligible effect. In summary, the soil food web contribution to N mineralization needs to be included in the soil N supply concept, which requires the development of field-based measurements and models of the soil N supply.
A case of idiosyncratic liver injury after oxaliplatin‐induced thrombocytopenia

Oxaliplatin is a platinum drug used for treating digestive cancers that can lead to drug‐induced thrombocytopenia (DITP). We report a case of oxaliplatin‐induced anaphylaxis and DITP, complicated by idiosyncratic drug‐induced liver injury (IDILI).
Institutional Solutions to Precariousness and Inequality in Labour Markets

It has become widely assumed that the standard employment relationship (SER) is in irreversible decline in industrialized societies. However, non‐standard and precarious work relationships often complement the SER via labour market transitions, and are not displacing it as the focal point of labour market regulation. The co‐ordination and risk management functions of the SER continue to be relevant in market economies, and the SER is adjusting to new conditions. The SER has a complex and evolving relationship to gender and to social stratification. In the European context where the SER originated and achieved its clearest legal expression, institutional solutions to precariousness and inequality are being developed, the most innovative of which avoid simple deregulation in favour of integrated policy responses involving a range of complementary regulatory mechanisms.
Analyzing the consistency of the EPO's ruling on novelty and inventive step in emerging industries

The increasing number of patent applications worldwide and the extension of patenting to the areas of software and business methods have triggered a debate on "patent quality". While patent quality may have various dimensions, this paper argues that consistency in the decision making on the side of the patent office is one important dimension, particularly in new patenting areas (emerging technologies). In order to understand whether patent offices appear capable of providing consistent assessments of a patent's technological quality in such novel industries from the beginning, we study the concordance of the European Patent Office's (EPO's) granting and opposition decisions for individual patents. We use the historical example of biotech patents filed between 1978 until 1986, the early stage of the industry. Our results indicate that the EPO shows systematically different assessments of technological quality during the granting and the opposition phase. The inconsistency is likely not entirely attributable to additional information revealed after the grant date.
Motivated Endorsement of Interethnic Ideologies: An Optimal Distinctiveness Approach

The current study examined the effects of need for inclusion and differentiation (Brewer, 1991) activations on endorsement of colorblind and multicultural ideologies, and the roles ideological endorsements played in visual social perception. A total of 238 university students were given false feedback on a personality inventory to activate needs for differentiation and inclusion, as well as completed interethnic ideology measures and a morphed-faces judgment task in which they perceived whether paired others were exactly the same or different. Bootstrapping analyses (Preacher & Hayes, 2008) confirmed that, consistent with hypotheses, need for inclusion activation participants endorsed colorblind ideology to a greater extent, as well as took longer to correctly identify ambiguously different faces, compared to need for differentiation activation participants. Moreover, colorblind ideology endorsement predicted increased reaction time in correctly categorizing ambiguously different faces. Analyses indicated that colorblind ideology fully mediated the need state activation-reaction time to correctly categorize ambiguously different faces relationship. Need state activation condition did not predict multicultural ideology endorsement, nor did multicultural ideology endorsement predict reaction time to correctly categorize ambiguously different faces. Results reveal that inclusiveness need activation may predispose one to endorse colorblind ideology, which in turn holds basic social perception implications within ambiguous contexts.
Numerical Investigation of 3-D Effects on Thrust Generation of Flapping Airfoils

2-D and 3-D flows over flapping airfoils are computed, and thrust generation and propulsive efficiencies are compared. The flapping motion of the airfoils is described by a combined harmonic plunge and pitch motion. The flows are computed for flapping motions which produce maximum thrust and propulsive efficiency, predicted by a gradient based optimization algorithm using a 2-D flow solver. 2-D and 3-D flow computations are both performed in parallel. PVM and MPI message passing libraries are used. 3-D simulations resulted in slightly higher thrust and efficiency values than 2-D predictions. Both 2-D and 3-D numerical simulations show that high thrust may be obtained at the expense of reduced efficiency. For high propulsive efficiency, the large scale formations at the leading edge are prevented.
Herring fishery in the Bothnian Sea (southern Gulf of Bothnia) and the North Sea : similarities and differences

In recent years, herring catches have increased in the Bothnian Sea (southern Gulf of Bothnia, northern Baltic). The assessment of a fish stock by virtual population analysis (VPA) is sensitive to the input values used, and thus the results include uncertainties. In this paper I examine, also independently of the results of the virtual population analysis, if there are signs of overfishing in the Bothnian Sea herring stock. The situation there is compared with that in the North Sea, where changes in the fishery leading to the collapse of the herring stock are well documented. Results from the Bothnian Sea show that changes in the herring catch composition, growth, maturity and larval abundance due to fishing have been minor. According to VPA and the other parameters measured, so far there are no obvious biological signs of the herring overfishing in the Bothnian Sea.
Racial/Ethnic and Age Group Differences in Opioid and Synthetic Opioid–Involved Overdose Deaths Among Adults Aged ≥18 Years in Metropolitan Areas — United States, 2015–2017

Among the 47,600 opioid-involved overdose deaths in the United States in 2017, 59.8% (28,466) involved synthetic opioids (1). Since 2013, synthetic opioids, particularly illicitly manufactured fentanyl (IMF), including fentanyl analogs, have been fueling the U.S. overdose epidemic (1,2). Although initially mixed with heroin, IMF is increasingly being found in supplies of cocaine, methamphetamine, and counterfeit prescription pills, which increases the number of populations at risk for an opioid-involved overdose (3,4). With the proliferation of IMF, opioid-involved overdose deaths have increased among minority populations including non-Hispanic blacks (blacks) and Hispanics, groups that have historically had low opioid-involved overdose death rates (5). In addition, metropolitan areas have experienced sharp increases in drug and opioid-involved overdose deaths since 2013 (6,7). This study analyzed changes in overdose death rates involving any opioid and synthetic opioids among persons aged ≥18 years during 2015-2017, by age and race/ethnicity across metropolitan areas. Nearly all racial/ethnic groups and age groups experienced increases in opioid-involved and synthetic opioid-involved overdose death rates, particularly blacks aged 45-54 years (from 19.3 to 41.9 per 100,000) and 55-64 years (from 21.8 to 42.7) in large central metro areas and non-Hispanic whites (whites) aged 25-34 years (from 36.9 to 58.3) in large fringe metro areas. Comprehensive and culturally tailored interventions are needed to address the rise in drug overdose deaths in all populations, including prevention strategies that address the risk factors for substance use across each racial/ethnic group, public health messaging to increase awareness about synthetic opioids in the drug supply, expansion of naloxone distribution for overdose reversal, and increased access to medication-assisted treatment.
EFFECT OF SOME ORGANIC SOURCES IN WHEAT YIELD AND SOIL SANDY FERTILITY

Two field experiments were conducted at Abdel Menem Riyadh village, AlBostan, Beheira Governorate in two successive winter seasons of 2008/2009 and 2009/2010 to assess the effects of some organic sources viz. chicken manure (CM), farmyard manure (FYM) and organic wastes (OW) in combination with different levels of inorganic N fertilizer 60, 90 and120 kg N/fed on wheat yield and its components under sprinkler irrigation system prevailing in the region and to evaluate to what extent the fertilizer treatments impact on soil fertility status of the experimental field. The results showed that application of organic nitrogen sources in combination with inorganic nitrogen recorded significant effect on wheat grains and straw yields and weight of one-1000 grain. The significant effect of the organic nitrogen sources was in the following order: CM > FYM > OW with the exception of the significant effect of OW and FYM, which were similar on their effect on wheat straw yield. Applying CM (at rate of 50 kg organic-N/fed. =2ton CM/fed) combination with 90 kg N/fed significantly yielded the most significantly favorable N, P and K uptake in wheat grains and straw. When CM was applied at rate (50 kg organic nitrogen/fed.) in combination with 90 kg N/fed, the experimental soil gained after harvest the highest amounts of N, P and K as well as the highest amount of organic matter that will support the subsequent crop.
Prostate epithelial‐specific expression of activated PI3K drives stromal collagen production and accumulation

We genetically engineered expression of an activated form of P110 alpha, the catalytic subunit of PI3K, in mouse prostate epithelium to create a mouse model of direct PI3K activation (Pbsn‐cre4Prb;PI3KGOF/+). We hypothesized that direct activation would cause rapid neoplasia and cancer progression. Pbsn‐cre4Prb;PI3KGOF/+ mice developed widespread prostate intraepithelial hyperplasia, but stromal invasion was limited and overall progression was slower than anticipated. However, the model produced profound and progressive stromal remodeling prior to explicit epithelial neoplasia. Increased stromal cellularity and inflammatory infiltrate were evident as early as 4 months of age and progressively increased through 12 months of age, the terminal endpoint of this study. Prostatic collagen density and phosphorylated SMAD2‐positive prostatic stromal cells were expansive and accumulated with age, consistent with pro‐fibrotic TGF‐β pathway activation. Few reported mouse models accumulate prostate‐specific collagen to the degree observed in Pbsn‐cre4Prb;PI3KGOF/+. Our results indicate a signaling process beginning with prostatic epithelial PI3K and TGF‐β signaling that drives prostatic stromal hypertrophy and collagen accumulation. These mice afford a unique opportunity to explore molecular mechanisms of prostatic collagen accumulation that is relevant to cancer progression, metastasis, inflammation and urinary dysfunction. © 2019 Pathological Society of Great Britain and Ireland.

Incubation period of Hemileia vastatrix in coffee plants in Brazil simulated under climate change

Risk analysis of climate change on plant diseases has great importance for agriculture since it allows the evaluation of management strategies to minimize future damages. This work aimed to simulate future scenarios of coffee rust (Hemileia vastatrix) epidemics by elaborating geographic distribution maps using a model that estimates the pathogen incubation period and the output from three General Circulation Models (CSIRO-Mk3.0, INM-CM3.0, and MIROC3.2.medres). The climatological normal from 1961-1990 was compared with that of the decades 2020s, 2050s and 2080s using scenarios A2 and B1 from the IPCC. Maps were prepared with a spatial resolution of 0.5 × 0.5 degrees of latitude and longitude for ten producing states in Brazil. The climate variables used were maximum and minimum monthly temperatures. The maps obtained in scenario A2 showed a tendency towards a reduction in the incubation period when future scenarios are compared with the climatological normal from 1961-1990. A reduction in the period was also observed in scenario B1, although smaller than that in scenario A2.
Can a Data-Rich Environment Help Identify the Sources of Model Misspecification?

This paper proposes a method for detecting the sources of misspecification in a DSGE model based on testing, in a data-rich environment, the exogeneity of the variables of the DSGE with respect to some auxiliary variables. Finding evidence of non-exogeneity implies misspecification, but finding that some specific variables help predict certain shocks can shed light on the dimensions along which the model is misspecified. Forecast error variance decomposition analysis then helps assess the relevance of the missing channels. The paper puts the proposed methodology to work both in a controlled experiment - by running a Monte Carlo simulations with a known DGP - and using a state-of-the-art model and US data up to 2011.
