Using Aesthetics and Action Recognition-Based Networks for the Prediction of Media Memorability

In this working note paper we present the contribution and results of the participation of the UPB-L2S team to the MediaEval 2019 Predicting Media Memorability Task. The task requires participants to develop machine learning systems able to predict automatically whether a video will be memorable for the viewer, and for how long (e.g., hours, or days). To solve the task, we investigated several aesthetics and action recognition-based deep neural networks, either by fine-tuning models or by using them as pre-trained feature extractors. Results from different systems were aggregated in various fusion schemes. Experimental results are positive showing the potential of transfer learning for this tasks.
A simple and efficient method of rearing aphidophagous hoverflies (Diptera: Syrphidae)

Syrphid larvae and their aphid prey are reared together with minimal maintenance on caged broad bean plants. An essential feature of the cage for adults is a feeding platform raised well off the floor for the diet of cube sugar, water and freeze-dried pollen. Since mating occurs in flight, the cage must be higher than wide or deep.

GÊNEROS TEXTUAIS EM PROPOSTAS DE PRODUÇÃO ESCRITA EM PROVAS DO EXAME CELPE-BRAS

This article is to analyze text production proposals based on textual genre theories. To address the subject, it is conducted a survey of some theoretical issues related to working with textual genres in Portuguese language classes. Thus, there is the development of the language approach that includes aspects of textual genres. There are also some questions about the same work done in PLE classes. For the analysis of this article, the text production proposals of the last three editions of the Celpe-Bras Exam are observed, more specifically, the third and fourth tasks of the tests. This analysis sought to investigate whether such proposals actually followed the approach of a particular text genre, corroborating the teaching-learning process in PLE classes.
Nutrient Recycling, Wheat Straw Decomposition, and the Potential Effect of Straw Shear Strength on Soil Mechanical Properties

This study aimed to explore the release rate (RR) of wheat straw nutrients during straw return to a paddy field and examined the possible relationship between wheat stalk shear strength and the content of the remaining components in wheat straw. We used the nylon mesh bag technique to study the decomposition of straw nutrients such as total organic carbon (TOC), total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP), total potassium (TK), lignin, and cellulose over time. During the time span of 0–90 days, results showed a rapid decomposition rate with a diverse trend under different tillage operations. Furthermore, the decomposition rate was higher under the plough (PRP) conditions than under dry conditions (RP) or water rotation (PR). Moreover, under PRP conditions, the RR of TOC, TK, lignin, and cellulose increased, while the RR of TK was higher than 95% initially and then increased slightly. However, the carbon to nitrogen ratio was first increased and then decreased; similarly the RR of TP first increased and then decreased; a fluctuating pattern was observed for TN. Additionally, we found a strong correlation between wheat stalk shear strength and the remaining contents of lignin, hemicellulose, and cellulose, with R2 ≥ 0.91, which was higher than 0.82 after computing adjustments. Furthermore, the changing trend of nutrients and components and the relationship between shear strength and the content of the remaining components in wheat straw were used to evaluate the release characteristics of nutrients under straw return. The potential effects of the straw shear strength on soil mechanical properties were determined, providing a remarkable opportunity for acquiring nutrients for sustainable application of soil.
Preservice English Teachers and 21st Century Composition in Flux: Implementing Principles of Writing Across Sites of Learning

PRESERVICE TEACHERS AND 21st CENTURY WRITING IN FLUX: IMPLEMENTING PRINCIPLES OF WRITING ACROSS SITES OF LEARNING Amber Nicole Jensen, Ph.D. George Mason University, 2019 Dissertation Director: E. Shelley Reid This study considers how English educators can catalyze learning within secondary English education programs to help preservice teachers define and re-examine what counts as writing in the 21st century, and to apply this knowledge in their future school contexts. In it, I explore how preservice teachers develop, articulate, and enact conceptual frameworks of 21st century writing and teaching as they transition from university courses into secondary English classrooms. My research offers critical perspectives to English educators about how they can support preservice teachers in developing reflective mindsets and theoretical knowledge that will enable them to enact digital and multimodal writing within a range of contexts in lasting, evolving, and rhetorically transformative—not just technical and transactional—ways. The dissertation comprises three article-length manuscripts which explore common themes of learning transfer, metacognition, and reflective practice to support preservice teachers in developing and implementing knowledge about 21st century writing principles in context. The research explores preservice teacher learning across a range of sites and through methodologies including an analysis of preservice teachers in an English methods class (Chapter 2), a collective case study of four student teachers (Chapter 3), and a single case study of one participant in her first teaching site (Chapter 4). Central to my approach was situating participants as co-learners and co-researchers, acknowledging the study itself as an intervention worthy of investigation. Taken together, the three chapters point to limited metacognitive interventions as a tool for preservice teachers to name what they know and reflect on their experiences, leading them to arrive at nuanced and adaptable understandings of and confidence in implementing 21st century writing and teaching practices. I offer suggestions to English educators about how to integrate structures that will help preservice teachers become both flexible and deliberate in enacting, advancing, and advocating for relevant and evolving 21st century writing pedagogies.
AN ANALYSIS OF MASLOW’S HIERARCHY OF NEED IN THE GREAT GATSBY NOVEL BY FRANCISS SCOTT FITZGERALD’S

This research discussed the main character’s need, Jay Gatsby. Namely, psychological needs, safety needs, love, and belonging need, Esteem needs, and actualization need. The objective of this research is to analyze the Abraham Maslow’s hierarchy need described in the Gatsby novel by Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald. This research used a descriptive qualitative method and Abraham Maslow’s theory. The result of this research was found from five types of Abraham Maslow’s need, there were two types that were not fulfilled by Jay Gatsby, namely safety needs, and love and belongingness need so, that actualization needs could not be reached.

The Impact of the Electronic Medical Record on Health Information Management Staff in Two Southeastern States

Health information management (HIM) staffs in health care facilities have a long history of managing medical records in a paper format. Since 2009, with the passage of the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH), health care facilities have been rapidly changing from a paper medical record system to an electronic system. The adoption of electronic record systems has reduced or eliminated paper medical record forms which consequently changed many HIM staff’s jobs. A survey of HIM professionals was conducted in two southeastern states to determine any increase or decrease in HIM staff numbers and to identify any changes in required HIM skill levels. While the response rate of the survey was low, the survey results yielded much information about the actual changes HIM staffs are experiencing with the adoption of electronic record systems in their health care facilities. This information will be valuable to HIM professionals by aiding them in developing realistic strategic plans for the future of their HIM departments.

Measurement Based Path Loss Study for Indoor Device-to-Device Communications at 60 GHz

This paper empirically investigates the path loss for indoor 60 GHz device-to-device (D2D) channels. In particular, we consider signal propagation between two user equipments (UEs) which are operated in close proximity to the human body within an indoor environment. Two key UE operating modes were studied: (i) making a voice call and (ii) carrying a device. It has been found that the obtained path loss exponents were often much less than those anticipated in free space (i.e., n = 2) particularly for non-line of sight scenarios.
The measurement of pain and the assessment of people experiencing pain.

Just as “my pain” belongs in a unique way only to me, so I am utterly alone with it. I cannot share it. I have no doubt about the reality of the pain experience, but I cannot tell anybody what I experience. I surmise that others have “their” pain, even though I cannot perceive what they mean when they tell me about them. I am certain about the existence of their pain only in the sense that I am certain of my compassion for them. And yet, the deeper my compassion, the deeper is my certitude about the other person’s utter loneliness in relation to his experience. —ivan illiCh (1976, pp. 147–148)
Validation of Origin-Destination Matrix by Open Data

—Many global factors can influence the socio-economic situation in the country. One such factor is the transport systems of cities. It depends on the state of the transport infrastructure of the city: business development, investment, quality of life, employment growth. However, in larger cities observed the deterioration of the situation with the transport systematic in connection with the increasing number of cars and other factors. To solve these problems resort to modelling. The dynamic modelling allows to determine the characteristics of the future project (capacity, number of road lanes, traffic light cycle, etc.) without high capital investments. Modeling of transport processes has been used in practice for a long time, but there is a problem in checking the compliance of the constructed model with the real transport situation. Existing methods, such as the manual method of collecting information about traffic flows, are expensive and labor-intensive. Authors propose the method of validation of origin-destination matrix by open data provided by Uber company.
An examination of the period between surgery and radiotherapy for patients with malignant glioma and their families

Introduction & Background to Study The most prevalent type of primary brain tumour is the malignant glioma (Davies & Hopkins 1997). The prognosis for this type of tumour is poor (6-12 months) and the treatment offered to patients with this diagnosis is palliative. It is, therefore, imperative that throughout their illness they, and their carers, receive optimum care (Davies & Hopkins 1997, Gupta & Sarin 2002, Efficace & Bottomley 2003). Study Aim To examine the practical and emotional issues that patients with a malignant glioma and their carers experience between their surgery and radiotherapy. Study Design Using a comparative descriptive design, this study prospectively examined 51 patients and their carers between their surgery and radiotherapy. The study explored changes in neurological functional status, frequency and severity of anxiety and depression levels, prevalence of side effects of dexamethasone therapy and level of disruption to lives and life quality of patients and their carers. Study Findings Lack of information and appropriate support, initiate a maladaptive emotional and physical response to the diagnosis of malignant glioma. The age, past medical history and familial commitments of patients are factors which influence the physical and emotional response exhibited. Recommendations If nurses and/or other health care professionals consider the age, past medical history and family commitments of patients, undertake regular assessment of the patients' neurological functional state and closely monitor the dosage and effectiveness of dexamethasone therapy, they could anticipate and predict the physical and emotional response of patients and their carers to the diagnosis of malignant glioma between surgery and radiotherapy. Overall implementation of these recommendations would ensure that the support needs of patients and carers could be met between surgery. Consequently, during this time the quality of the lives of these individuals could be optimised.
Who is responsible? An insight into the factors influencing the publication of undergraduate medical students' research projects

Worldwide, undergraduate medical students conduct research and its recognized that their research helps them understand medicine and improve clinical skills furthermore, they are able to apply what they have learned. Objective: To quantify the number of research publications of undergraduate research course projects and the factors affecting its publication. Materials and Methods: This quantitative, observational, questionnaire-based, and cross-sectional study was conducted at the College of Medicine, King Saud University (KSU), during the academic year 2014-2015. The participants were 164 research group leaders of the course, including internship, 4 th and 5 th academic year students. A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data. We analyzed the data using the SPSS version 21.0 (IBM Corporation, Armonk, NY, USA) statistical software. Karl Pearson’s Chi-square test and odds ratios (OR) were used in bivariate analysis and binary logistic regression in multivariate analysis. Results: Out of 164 research groups, 161 (98.2%) had responded to the study. Among them, 36 (22.4%) had published their research projects. The publications of internship students ( n = 49; 30.2%) and 5 th year students ( n = 53; 32.9%) were higher than 4 th year students ( P = 0.014). Furthermore, research groups with 5-7 members ( n = 91; 56.5%) had published their projects more than the group with 2-4 members ( P = 0.013). The higher publication was also associated with the supervisors’ high academic rank and attended extra research methodology courses skilled training. The improvement of curriculum vitae, supervisor support and skilled training were the motivating factors to publish their projects. Less number of students’ publications were due to lack of time, insufficient support from supervisors and supervisors’ academic ranks. Conclusion: The results of this study also suggest for the manuscript writing skill training could be included in such academic course. Many students are lacking the sufficient research training; therefore, appropriate training could be included. Further, emphasis should be given by training department and academic supervisors to overcome the perceived barriers.
A systems biology approach to integrated molecular analysis in pancreatic and periampullary adenocarcinoma

Periampullary adenocarcinomas include four anatomical sites of origin (the pancreatic duct, bile duct, ampulla and duodenum) and most of them fall into two histological subgroups (pancreatobiliary and intestinal). Determining the exact origin of the tumor is sometimes difficult, due to overlapping histopathological characteristics. The prognosis depends on the histological subtype, as well as on the anatomical site of origin, the former being the more important. The molecular basis for these differences in prognosis is poorly understood. Whole-genome analyses were used to investigate the association between molecular tumor profiles, pathogenesis and prognosis. A total of 85 periampullary adenocarcinomas were characterized by mRNA and miRNA expressions profiling. Molecular profiles of the tumors from the different anatomical sites of origin as well as of the different histological subtypes were compared. Differentially expressed mRNAs and miRNAs between the two histopathological subtypes were linked to specific molecular pathways. Six miRNA families were downregulated and four were upregulated in the pancreatobiliary type as compared to the intestinal type (P < 0.05). miRNAs and mRNAs associated with improved overall and recurrence free survival for the two histopathological subtypes were identified. For the pancreatobiliary type the genes ATM, PTEN, RB1 and the miRNAs miR-592 and miR-497, and for the intestinal type the genes PDPK1, PIK3R2, G6PC and the miRNAs miR-127-3p, miR-377* were linked to enriched pathways and identified as prognostic markers.

Evolutionary Causation : Biological and Philosophical Reflections

A comprehensive treatment of the concept of causation in evolutionary biology that makes clear its central role in both historical and contemporary debates.Most scientific explanations are causal. This is certainly the case in evolutionary biology, which seeks to explain the diversity of life and the adaptive fit between organisms and their surroundings. The nature of causation in evolutionary biology, however, is contentious. How causation is understood shapes the structure of evolutionary theory, and historical and contemporary debates in evolutionary biology have revolved around the nature of causation. Despite its centrality, and differing views on the subject, the major conceptual issues regarding the nature of causation in evolutionary biology are rarely addressed. This volume fills the gap, bringing together biologists and philosophers to offer a comprehensive, interdisciplinary treatment of evolutionary causation.Contributors first address biological motivations for rethinking evolutionary causation, considering the ways in which development, extra-genetic inheritance, and niche construction challenge notions of cause and process in evolution, and describing how alternative representations of evolutionary causation can shed light on a range of evolutionary problems. Contributors then analyze evolutionary causation from a philosophical perspective, considering such topics as causal entanglement, the commingling of organism and environment, and the relationship between causation and information.ContributorsJohn A.

The physiological time line of post‐exertional malaise in Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS)

With fatigue being such a dominant feature, it is important to define the time line and its impact following exertion in individuals with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). This study aimed to investigate the physiological effects of repeated graded maximal exercise testing at 48 and 72 hours, along with analyzing the reported time to recover from repeated graded exercise tests (PEM). ME/CFS (n = 16), age‐ and gender‐matched controls (n = 16) were randomly assigned to either a 48‐hour protocol or a 72‐hour protocol. Each participant completed a maximal incremental cycle exercise test on day one and again at either 48 hours (48‐h) or 72 hours (72‐h) later. Physiological responses were analyzed at peak work rate (PWR). There were significant differences in both peak VO2 and workload (P < .05) in the 48‐h ME/CFS group compared with the 48‐h controls in both test 1 and test 2. Significant differences in peak VO2 and workload were only demonstrated in test 2 in participants in the ME/CFS 72‐h group. There was a small but insignificant decrease in both peak VO2 and workload in the ME/CFS group at 48‐h. Interestingly those in the 72‐h ME/CFS protocol demonstrated an increase in workload (10 Watts), despite no change in VO2peak. Subjective data demonstrated the 48‐hour ME/CFS group reported significantly longer time to recover.
Adequacy of monitoring of intravenous Fluids in elderly patients in Kenyatta National hospital

Background Iatrogenic problems arising from inappropriate IV fluid therapy can increase morbidity and prolong hospital stay. Among those at risk, are the elderly patients as they have a high burden of cardio respiratory and renal diseases. Volumes and types of IV fluids will vary depending on the clinical scenario. Therefore, monitoring of fluid balance parameters is crucial and should remain consistent regardless of the clinical indications for IV fluids. Research has revealed gaps in the monitoring of fluid balance among the elderly patients. Objective The study thus aimed to establish if IV fluids were prescribed rationally and to determine if fluid balance was adequately monitored in elderly patients. Methodology This was a longitudinal descriptive study. All elderly patients who met the inclusion criteria, between March and July 2010 in Kenyatta National Hospital, were followed up until the day of discharge or death. A universal sample of 150 patients was obtained. The data obtained were entered into a structured data collection form. The data were analyzed using SPSS 12.0 software. Descriptive data analysis was performed on all variables. Exploratory data analysis was done to assess variables for associations and correlations. Multivariate logistic regression was done to control for confounding. Results A good majority of the patients (87.3 %) had IV fluids rationally prescribed. About 79.3 % had their baseline UEC determined. The most commonly prescribed IV fluid was Normal saline. The IV fluid most prone to administration errors was Normal saline alternating with 5 % dextrose. About 25 % of the patients either had no prescriptions for IV fluids or had incomplete prescriptions, though they received IV fluids. Weight and fluid charting were the least frequently monitored parameters. In contrast, vital signs and clinical signs and symptoms were the most frequently monitored (98 %). Determination of baseline UEC, duration of hospital stay and duration of IV fluid administration were found to be significantly associated with adequate monitoring. (P<0.05)
