The use of special knowledge in the investigation of terrorism-related crimes

The article considers the use of special knowledge in the investigation of terrorism-related crimes. This includes the organization of forensic explosives examination and establishment of a list of necessary items and documents, namely physical evidence related to explosives and procedural documents. In addition to explosives examination, the article considers forensic firearm examination, which solves such groups of tasks as determining the properties of firearms and ammunition that serve in the case as physical evidence, identifying arms and establishing the circumstances of the use of arms. The authors conclude that the use of special knowledge in the investigation of terrorism-related crimes is one of the keys to successfully counteracting this type of crime.
Unity in diversity? Polarization, issue diversity and satisfaction with democracy

ABSTRACT How do the range of issues voters care about and party system polarization impact democratic outcomes? Recent debates have focused on the negative effect of polarized systems on democratic quality. However, the extent to which this polarization is channeled or diffused over a wide range of issues on the public agenda has not been analyzed systematically. Using data from 31 European countries from 2003 to 2018, we show that party polarization indeed has a negative effect on people's satisfaction with democracy. Importantly, however, we demonstrate that at high levels of issue diversity, the negative effect of polarization is minimized. Drawing on the deliberative democracy literature, we argue that at low levels of issue diversity, polarization makes compromise in society less likely and the political discourse more antagonistic. However, at higher levels of issue diversity, contestation and conflict can be diffused over a large range of issues, providing more favorable conditions for collective will formation and, ultimately, higher levels of satisfaction with democracy.

Harmony: mHealth framework for managing severe mental illnesses

In India, patients with severe mental illnesses(SMI) generally have their family members as caregivers. It becomes difficult for the caregiver to monitor the patients activites and behaviour closely and communicate the same to the doctor. A close analysis of patients behaviour can lead to interesting insights which could further help in his/her treatment. Harmony is an attempt to fill this communication gap between the patient, caregiver and doctor. Apart from monitoring a patients usage of the phone, it also asks the caregiver to enter the daily activities of the patient. All this data is saved on a cloud platform which can be used by the doctors anytime via the web portal.
Percepción y Motivación Social: Elementos Predictores de la Ansiedad y el Ajuste Social en Adolescentes

espanolLa percepcion de los iguales y las metas sociales tienen un papel clave en el comportamiento social. No obstante, su influencia en el desarrollo de ansiedad social o su impacto en el ajuste social durante la adolescencia no ha sido examinada con profundidad. El objetivo de este estudio fue explorar la relacion de la percepcion de los iguales y las metas sociales con la ansiedad y el ajuste social. Los participantes fueron 848 adolescentes espanoles (47.5 % chicas) de entre 12 y 17 anos (M = 13.58, DT = 1.247). Los modelos de ecuaciones estructurales indicaron que la percepcion positiva de los iguales y las metas de desarrollo social influyen directamente en el ajuste social, mientras que la percepcion negativa y las metas de evitacion social se vinculan a la ansiedad social. Esta evidencia destaca la importancia de potenciar el planteamiento de metas de desarrollo social y la percepcion positiva de los iguales EnglishPrevious research suggests that peer perception and social goals have an important role in social behavior. However, their influence on social anxiety or their impact on social adjustment during adolescence has not been examined in depth. The aim of this study was to test the relationship of peer perception and social goals with social anxiety and social adjustment. The sample was composed of 848 Spanish adolescents (47.5% women) aged between 12 and 17 years (M = 13.58, SD = 1.247). Structural equation modeling indicated that peer perception and social development goals have a direct effect on social adjustment, whereas a negative peer perception and social demonstration-avoidance goals were linked to social anxiety. These results highlight the importance of encouraging the setting of social development goals and positive perception of peers.
Nutritional assessment of omega-3 fatty acids intake in schizophrenia patients group

Abstract Introduction: Schizophrenia is a chronic mental disease which significantly affects functioning and quality of life of patients. Lifestyle, including irregular eating habits, is a factor possibly intensifying symptoms of the disease and unwanted effects of pharmacotherapy. Due to positive effect on metabolic parameters demonstrated in numerous studies and participation in structure and functioning of central nervous system, omega-3 essential unsaturated fatty acids (EFAs) are the suggested form of schizophrenia cotheraphy. Aim: The purpose of this paper was to evaluate EFAs (especially omega-3 family) consumption by individuals with schizophrenia and comparing contents of these acids in the diets of female and male patients. Method: A study was conducted with the participation of 32 patients, recruited in the Psychiatric Outpatient Department of the Independent Public Clinical Hospital No. 1 in Lublin, with diagnosed schizophrenia. Data concerning the intake of EFAs was acquired in the course of 24-hour diet recall. Results: Average intake of omega-3 EFAs in the examined population was 2.40 ± 2.85 g, of which only 201.6 ± 501.5 mg was constituted by EPA and DHA acids. The intake of omega-3 EFAs did not differ between men and women groups (p>0.05). Food rations of the 91% responders were characterised with the intake of EPA and DHA acids below the adequate intake level (AI). Conclusions: Patients suffering from schizophrenia consume insufficient amounts of EPA and DHA acids. Evidence suggests that optimum intake of omega-3 EFAs could bring significant benefits for this group of patients. People suffering from schizophrenia should be attended with the care of a dietician, who will choose optimum strategy for supplying sufficient amount of nutrients in the diet.
Self-Consciousness and “Split” Brains: The Minds’ I

This volume, written by a philosophy professor at Washington University, presents the philosophical conundrum of a single brain, a single person, with two separate consciousnesses. Schechter presents the philosophical history and contemporary analysis of this dual consciousness, but she also presents very thorough and detailed citations of the experimental literature on “split-brain” patients. Schechter begins with the history of split-brain surgeries for patients with intractable epilepsy. At first the separate behaviors of the two hemispheres went unnoticed, but when Michael Gazzaniga began testing the patients, and Roger Sperry and Ronald Myers studied nonhuman animals with commissurotomy surgery, the phenomenon became clear. Shechter then discusses consciousness, leading up to the concept of separate consciousnesses. The rest of the book contains experimental as well as philosophical underpinnings for the concept of dual consciousnesses. Schechter has clearly read and categorized the rich literature of split-brain studies, and she enunciates the implications for the philosophical foundations of both uniand dual consciousnesses. I found this volume to be comprehensive and persuasive in its arguments, and the author fully informed on both the psychological literature and the philosophical cornerstone of consciousness. It was compelling and interesting, but I would predict that most clinical neurologists, even those with behavioralcognitive training, would have difficulty getting through all of it.
Sentiment Analysis in Brazilian Portuguese Tweets in the Domain of Calamity: Application of the Summarization Method and Semantic Similarity in Polarized Terms

This research integrates an interdisciplinary project which mobilizes the areas of Computer Engineering, Linguistics and Communication to perform the processing of texts in a natural language extracted from microblogging service Twitter as well as to conduct an analysis and classification of the sentiments mined. Many proposals have been formulated using the polarization method; however, most projects do not encompass an automatic classification by semantic proximity. This research aims to evaluate the reaction of individuals shared in the social network, not only to classify them as positive or negative, but also to ascertain the semantic similarity of these messages in the same domain. Based on the set of tweets in Portuguese extracted from a corpus of calamity, we apply three methods: a) the lexical classifier, called Summarization Method; b) the semantic classifier, called LSA Latent Semantic Analysis; c) the ASSTPS classifier Analysis of Semantic similarity in Polarized and Summarized terms. The results are applied to a set of 811 tweets of the calamity domain and point out which method obtained the best hit rate and semantic approximation. In this sense, the classification of sentiments by semantic proximity can help greatly, performing the sorting of content of relevant messages, discarding unnecessary information, linking messages with the same theme in common, and even generating Metrics for classifying emotions.
CEO Reputation and Internal Control Effectiveness — Based on China A-share Listed Company Data

With the rapid development of information technology, reputation has become the signal of CEO's ability. The existence of high reputation enhances the CEO's enthusiasm and prudence in the work, thus promoting the operation and development of the company. This paper selects 2017 A-share listed companies in China as a research sample. According to the different nature of property rights, the CEO reputation and the effectiveness of internal control are empirically analyzed. The research finds that good CEO reputation can promote the effectiveness of internal control of enterprises, and under different property rights, the reputation of state-owned enterprise CEOs has a significant positive correlation with the effectiveness of internal control. The regression coefficient of non-state-owned enterprise CEO reputation and internal control effectiveness is negative, and has not passed the significant test. This shows that the establishment of a reputation mechanism is
Behavioral Economy and Public State Aids: Why Iranians Refused to Give Up on Government Subsidy Receipt? (A Multiple Prisoner’s Dilemma Game)

espanolEste articulo utiliza la teoria de juegos, mas especificamente el juego multiple del dilema del prisionero, para analizar por que los iranies se negaron a renunciar a recibir subsidios publicos en abril de 2014, a pesar de las frecuentes solicitudes del gobierno. La muestra de estudio consta de dos grupos principales: los que no dependian del subsidio del gobierno, pero que lo solicitaban; y los que tampoco dependian, pero habian fingido fraudulentamente depender del subsidio del gobierno. Se presentan algunas sugerencias, tales como definir el juego de la gallina y no el juego del dilema del prisionero como juego principal. EnglishThis article uses the game theory, more specifically multiple prisoner’s dilemma game, to analyze why Iranians refused to give up on receiving public subsidies in April 2014, in spite of frequent requests of the government. Sample of study consists of two main groups: the ones who were not dependent on government subsidy but were applying for it; and the ones who did not depend either but had fraudulently pretended to depend on government subsidy. some suggestions are presented such as to define chicken game and not prisoner’s dilemma game as the main game.

Bayesian Optimization Based Terrestrial Gait Tuning for a 12-DOF Alligator-Inspired Robot With Active Body Undulation

In addition to aiding in swimming, body undulation of an alligator plays a critical role in terrestrial locomotion by imparting stability. This paper reports design, fabrication and terrestrial locomotion control incorporating active body undulation of a 12-DOF alligator-inspired robot. Each of the four legs of the developed robot has two rotational degrees of freedom while the body can perform undulation using additional four rotational degrees of freedom. This paper also presents a Bayesian optimization based approach to tune the gait parameters of both leg oscillation and body undulation in order to maximize the average robot speed. We obtained improvement by a factor of 1.93 in average robot speed in comparison to the one obtained by randomly generated parameters and report the experimental results in this paper. In future, we plan to generalize the developed Bayesian optimization based parameter tuning approach for the swimming gait and thereby impart amphibious capabilities to the developed robot.

Using grammar checkers in the ESL classroom: the adequacy of automatic corrective feedback

Our study assessed the performance of two Grammar Checkers (GCs), Grammarly and Virtual Writing Tutor, and the grammar checking function in Microsoft Word on a broad range of grammatical errors. The errors occurred in both authentic English as a Second Language (ESL) compositions and simple sentences we generated ourselves. We verified the performance in terms of (1) coverage (rates of error detection), (2) accuracy of proposed replacement forms, and (3) ‘false alarms’ (forms mistakenly flagged as incorrect). To the extent GCs provide accurate and comprehensive corrective feedback, they could relieve teachers of the time-consuming task of providing written feedback themselves. While inaccurate replacement forms and false alarms are relatively rare, we found GCs to have poor overall coverage (total error detection rates under 50%). Grammarly and Virtual Writing Tutor, however, outperform Microsoft Word. Coverage is also higher both for certain categories of error and for the sentences rather than the authentic compositions. Finally, although GCs do not provide comprehensive feedback, we suggest designing special activities that target select error types.
Modelling information acquisition and its impact on social structure

Numerous social structures exist in the animal kingdom, all of which ﬁll a niche in which the organisms ﬁnd themselves. The various levels of aggregation and hierarchy within the majority of these social structures can be explained by selective pressures such as predation avoidance, resource exploitation and mating opportunity. The necessity and aﬀordance of acquiring social and ecological information has been proposed as another possible factor in the evolution of certain colonial structures, such as those of ravens and ospreys. We explore the conditions under which the use of socially acquired information beneﬁts individuals within a colony using an agent-based model. The agents are simple ﬁnite-state automata following a forage-and-return behaviour in which they can also breed and die. The model allows agents to socially acquire information by determining whether foragers have been successful. The agents can then decide whether to follow other agents or forage on their own. Increased competition at foraging sites is the cost for following but environments in which resources are patchily distributed and/or ephemeral in time provide a challenge to individual foragers. The preference for the use socially over personally acquired information, in the model, is a heritable trait and allowed to vary across generations. We demonstrate that more sociality in groups evolves in challenging environments. Although the model is an abstract representation of colonial species, it can provide a platform for understanding the behaviour of real animals.
Acil servisteki kritik hasta yakınlarının gereksinimleri ve karşılanma durumu

BACKGROUND: This study was designed as a definitive study to determine the needs of the critical patient's family and whether or not these needs are met. METHODS: The study was conducted in the emergency departments (EDs) of a University and a state hospital between February-May 2007 with the families of 353 critical patients. The data was collected by face to face interview technique using the Needs of the Critically Ill Patients' Family Members in Emergency Department Scale and uestionnaires and a personal information form. RESULTS: It was determined that the patient's family valued their right and need to be informed of the patient's status and take part in their care more than their own personal needs. In a more general perspective, nine of the 10 most frequently stated needs regarded communication. It was also found that the needs to be provided by the ED staff were listed as the most important or important. CONCLUSION: Defining the needs of the family of critical patients in the ED may help raise awareness of the health care providers about this issue, thereby helping to improve the service. Support of patients' relatives in regards to their needs would increase satisfaction of the patients' relatives and the quality of care in the ED.
Future mobility demand estimation based on sociodemographic information: A data-driven approach using machine learning algorithms

Estimations of the future mobility demand are highly valuable for policy makers, transportation planners and the automotive industry. Knowing mobility patterns allows for targeted and optimized decarbonization of the transport sector. This work provides a model order reduction approach for clustering mobility demand according to characteristic population groups that share similar travel behavior. Using Swiss household travel survey data and machine learning algorithms, the methodology developed in this paper allows for extrapolating future mobility demand based on socio-demographic information.
Design of an End-to-End Consumer Imaging System Simulator With an Emphasis on Efficient Application of Spatially-Varying Optical Kernels

Author(s): Khayambashi, Misagh | Advisor(s): Swindlehurst, Arnold Lee | Abstract: In this thesis, we discuss the theoretical background and the practical aspects of the design of a simulation toolchain for prototyping and testing new consumer imaging technologies during the design cycle. To enable a fully computer-aided design and test process, mechanisms are provided to model and investigate all the entities involved in the imaging system. In particular, modeling of the scenes, optics, and sensors are included. In addition, the computational and storage bottlenecks of the simulator are examined and more efficient methods are provided when appropriate. In particular, a method based on Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) is proposed to lower the storage-footprint of the scene model. Furthermore, an efficient algorithm based on Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) is proposed to implement the convolution of the scene with the spatially-varying optical kernels. The quality and complexity of the proposed method are compared with previous work and it is shown that higher quality is achievable with lower complexity.
