Modeller, miljø og manipulation: Vidensfiltrering og magt i beslutningsprocessen omkring den 3. Limfjordsforbindelse

se« i Aalborg er blevet VVM-vurderet (Vurdering af Virkninger på Miljøet). Denne vurdering bruger vi her som eksempel i en diskussion af, hvordan transportmodellers design – bevidst eller ubevidst – kan føre til fejl i de prognoser, som udarbejdes, inden store transportinfrastrukturprojekter påbegyndes. Fejlene i prognoserne kan fremme en bestemt politisk dagsorden. I sagen om den 3. Limfjordsforbindelse antog planlæggerne, at væksten i trafikken ville blive den samme, uanset om en ny motorvej blev bygget eller ikke. Det fik planlæggerne til at konkludere, at der ville opstå utålelig trængsel, hvis vejkapaciteten ikke blev udvidet. Vi vil i denne artikel opridse forløbet i planlægningsog beslutningsprocessen omkring 3. Limfjordsforbindelse og vise, hvordan trafikmodellerne gjorde det muligt for beslutningstagerne at ignorere nogle centrale årsagssammenhænge, der er i spil, når nye vejanlæg etableres. Vi konkluderer, at en vidensfiltrering fandt sted i sagen om Limfjordsforbindelsen: Anerkendt viden om fænomenet »trafikspring« (at det nye vejanlæg får trafikken til at vokse) blev ignoreret i det faglige beslutningsunderlag og afvist i det politiske og juridiske beslutningssystem.
Radical scavenging activity of extract, fraction and chemical compound from Calophyllum sclerophyllum vesq. stembark by using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl Hydrazil (DPPH)

SAS MACROS FOR EXACT METHODS IN NON-PARAMETRICAL STATISTICS

The precursors of modern non parametric statistics can be found in scattered papers in the latter part of the 19th century. Some early contributions to this topic are cited in a review paper by Scheffe [16]. However, it was not until the pioneering papers by Wilcoxon [22] and Mann & Whitney [21) that the theoretical foundations of nonparametric statistics began to be assembled. In the meantime a rapid development has taken place in this area as can be observed by consulting modern textbooks ([6), [12], [13]), [14]).
What We Have Learned from Sofie : Extending Lexical and Grammatical Coverage in an LFG Parsebank Gyri

Constructing a treebank as a dynamically parsed corpus is an iterative process whichmay effectively lead to improvements of the grammar and lexicon. We show this from our experiences with semiautomatic disambiguation of a Norwegian LFG parsebank. The main types of grammar and lexicon changes necessary for achieving improved coverage are analyzed and discussed. We show that an important contributing factor to missing coverage is missing multiword expressions in the lexicon.
Haemodynamic effects of etomidate, propofol and their combination on induction and intubation: A prospective randomized clinical trial

Introduction and Aims: Co-induction benefits of etomidate-lipuro and propofol have been studied in previous literatures. Here we tested the hypothesis that combination of etomidate and propofol have better haemodynamic stability during induction and intubation than their individual effect in patients undergoing surgeries under general anaesthesia. Materials and Methods: Sixty American Society of Anesthesiologist (ASA) I and II patients scheduled for surgeries under general anaesthesia were randomly allocated into three groups of twenty each. Patients in group E and P received 20ml of the study drug {Inj etomidate 0.3mg/kg in group E, inj.propofol 2mg/kg in group P} intravenously over 1minute during induction. While those in group EP, received 20ml of 1:1 mixture of etomidate and propofol intravenously over 1 minute during induction. Depth of anaesthesia was monitored using bispectral index (BIS). ANOVA and Chi-square test were used for statistical analysis. Changes in heart rate (HR), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), mean arterial Pressure (MAP) during induction and intubation were observed as primary objectives and incidence of pain on injection and myoclonus were observed as secondary outcome. Results: Demographic characteristics were indistinguishable in all the three groups. The gradient of fall in SBP, DBP, MAP and HR was more in propofol group. Group EP had better haemodynamic stability during induction and intubation. Incidence of pain on injection was relatively higher (60%) in group P and myoclonus was observed only in etomidate group. Conclusions: The 1:1 mixture of etomidate and propofol provides a better haemodynamic stability compared to either etomidate or propofol alone. Hence it can be preferred as a cost effective induction agent of choice. Keywords: Propofol, Etomidate, Stress response.

Simultaneous signal detection and classification under a false alarm constraint

An optimal technique for performing simultaneous signal detection and signal classification when the probability of false alarm (P/sub FA/) is constrained to be below a prespecified threshold is presented. A constrained max-min strategy that has the property of ensuring the best minimum level of performance among detection/classification procedures which satisfy the constraint is derived. The procedure compares a set of weighted likelihood ratios to a threshold, and if the threshold is exceeded it chooses the signal class with highest weighted likelihood. The technique is applied to the problem of detection and classification of a change in distribution of an independent sequence. <<ETX>>
Unsupervised regularization of historical texts for POS tagging

This paper presents an unsupervised method to reduce spelling variation in historical texts in order to mitigate the problem of data sparsity. In contrast to common normalization techniques, the historical types are not mapped to corresponding types in a standardized target language (e.g. normalizing Early New High German to Modern German). Consequently, no additional resources such as manually normalized data, parallel texts or a dictionary of the target language are needed. Furthermore, our approach does not use any annotation and is thus not dependent on the existence of annotated data. We evaluate the usefulness of this approach using POS tagging.
A study of treatment outcomes on the basis of revised venous clinical severity score in patients of varicose veins undergoing surgical management

Background: Chronic venous disease is a prevalent and progressive disease. There has been a tremendous increase in venous technologies and procedural volumes over the past decade, but still, there is a great deficiency in available clinical data. Reporting of clinical outcomes in a standard fashion is the need of the hour required to compare devices and other therapeutic methods intended to improve clinical outcomes. Materials and Methods: This is a prospective observational study carried out between November 2016 and October 2018 on 200 consecutive cases that underwent surgical management for varicose veins. Results: Revised venous clinical severity score (RVCSS) scores reduced significantly after surgical intervention and subsequent follow-up; however, when comparing the scores between the two groups, there was no significant statistical difference. Conclusion: RVCSS coupled with Clinical-Etiology-Anatomy-Pathophysiology provides a standard clinical language to report and compare different approaches to cardiovascular diseases management. Ligation and stripping (L and S) are the gold standard for the treatment of varicose veins, endovascular procedures are expensive and have similar efficacy as L and S, however, are preferred in the present era due to better cosmetic and faster recovery.
Age Estimation Using Support Vector Machine – Sequential Minimal Optimization

This paper investigates the use of SVM-SMO algorithms in estimating the age of a person through the evaluation of its facial features on both front and side-view face orientation. Stephen-Harris algorithm, SURF, and Minimum Eigenvalue Feature Detection algorithms were also used for feature extraction. During experiments, training sets composed on 44 front view images and 44 side view images were used to train the network. Testing was performed to 140 front view images and 44 side view images. Result of the experiment shows age recognition of 53.85% for front view images and 14.3% for side view images. 
EVOLUTION OF CONTINUOUS VARIABLE CORRELATIONS IN OPEN QUANTUM SYSTEMS

In the framework of the theory of open systems based on completely positive quantum dynamical semigroups, we give a description of the continuous variable quantum entanglement and quantum discord for a system consisting of two non-interacting modes embedded in a thermal environment. We describe the evolution of entanglement in terms of the covariance matrix for Gaussian input states. For all values of the temperature of the thermal reservoir, an initial separable unimodal squeezed state and a squeezed thermal state remain separable for all times. We study the time evolution of logarithmic negativity, which characterizes the degree of entanglement, and show that in the case of an entangled initial squeezed vacuum state and a squeezed thermal state, entanglement suppression (entanglement sudden death) takes place, for non-zero temperatures of the environment. Only for a zero temperature of the thermal bath the initial entangled squeezed state remains entangled for finite times. Independent of its type – separable or entangled, the initial state evolves asymptotically to an equilibrium state which is always separable. We analyze the time evolution of the Gaussian quantum discord, which is a measure of all quantum correlations in the bipartite state, including entanglement, and show that quantum discord decays asymptotically in time under the effect of the thermal bath. Before the suppression of the entanglement, the qualitative evolution of quantum discord is very similar to that of the entanglement. We describe also the time evolution of the degree of classical correlations and of quantum mutual information, which measures the total correlations of the quantum system.
Prevalence and Atherogenic Index of Plasma as a Predictor of Cardiometabolic Syndrome amongst Ken Saro-Wiwa Polytechnicstudent

Cardiometabolic syndrome (CMS) sometimes regarded as insulin resistance syndrome is a combination of metabolic risk factors, including a combination of diabetes mellitus, systemic arterial hypertension, obesity and hyperlipidemia. This study was carried out on 50 students of Ken Saro-Wiwa Polytechnic (Kenpoly) Bori, using atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) to determine the prevalence and as a predictor of cardiometabolic syndrome among students of school age. Biochemical (lipid profile analysis) as well as anthropometrical (waist circumference, height, weight, systolic and diastolic blood pressure) tests were performed using standard method of measurements. In addition to questionnaires designed to assess the biodata, background information and health history of participants in respect to smoking, diabetics and hypertension. AIP was derived as log of (triglyceride/high density lipoprotein cholesterol). Results were analyzed using regression analysis at p≤0.05. The prevalence was calculated as ratio of (number of participant at risk/the total number of the participant) and reported in percentage, and was found to be 20%. The mean age in years of the respondent males (56%) was 26.80±3.30 while that of the females (44%) was 24.10±2.30. AIP ranged from -0.0013 to 0.451 with overall mean of -0.033±0.351. There was a significant negative correlation between (AIP) and waist circumference (r=-0.144,p=0.319), age (r=-0.115,p=0.427) and pulse pressure (r=0.143,p=0.321) and a positive correlation between AIP, diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and fasting blood sugar (FBS) levels. The result indicated that AIP may be an independent factor predicting the risk of cardiometabolic syndromes amongst students of Kenpoly. It is therefore recommended that further studies be conducted on a large population of students to clearly elucidate the inter-relationship between AIP and the risk of cardiometabolic syndrome.
Improving the neural network-based machine transliteration for low-resourced language pair

Grapheme-to-phoneme models are key components in automatic speech recognition and text-to-speech systems. With low-resourced language pairs that do not have available and well-developed pronunciation lexicons, grapheme-to-phoneme models are particularly useful. The current work presents an approach that applies an alignment representation for input sequences and pre-trained source and target embeddings to overcome the transliteration challenge for a low-resourced languages pair. The proposed method is tested with French and Vietnamese low-resourced language pair. The results showed promising improvement compared to the state-of-the-art approaches, with a large increase of +7 . 30 BLEU and a reduction in translation error rate (TER) of − 8 . 16 and phoneme error rate (PER) of − 14 . 17 .

Motivational , Ethical and Gamification Issues in Crowdsourcing

This paper investigates a number of important issues related to ethics, motivation and gamification. Gamification has previously been presented and identified as an area containing high potential for learning (Perry, 2015), and may therefore be judged worthy of investigation when applying crowdsourcing techniques. In addition, this paper will cover issues related to learner retention and motivation. We will further pursue this area by including major points on ethical and motivational considerations, drawing upon our previous research on gamification (Buckley, et al. 2018) and aim to relate them to crowdsourcing.

From fundamentals to financial assets: the evolution of understanding price formation in the EU ETS

Now in its third compliance period, we can look back at more than 12 years of existence of the emissions trading system (ETS) in the European Union. The focus of this paper is to review the empirical literature on price formation in the EU ETS. As a reoccurring concept, we draw on a simple theoretical model of price formation that we subsequently extend to accommodate three different strands of literature. First, we gather evidence based on empirical papers which look at the role of fundamental price drivers. Second, we review the event study literature, where political and regulatory uncertainty is the main topic. Third, we devote a major part to finance literature in this market. In every section, we pay special attention to the challenges that arise when empirically modeling allowance prices in this complex market. We emphasize that there is a need for more evidence and possibly alternative approaches due to the complex interplay of compliance and finance trading motives. As a result, the findings of this review provide important lessons about price formation in the EU ETS, which can also inform the design of such programs in other countries.
The interface of power and charity : the case of MIA in Italy in the 16 th – 17 th centuries

The importance often assumed by charities in the social context where they operate makes their analysis by accounting historians an interesting topic. This paper explores the interface of power and charity, considering the case of an Italian charity during the 16 – 17 centuries, adopting Foucault’s “governmentality” framework. In particular, the paper inserts accounting, referring of both financial and non financial information, in a complex of technologies accomplishing the ‘government of poverty’, showing the role of the MIA charity within the socioeconomic context involved. In this sphere, evidences about technologies of ‘government of poverty’ are shown. The paper aims to enhance an understanding of the role of accounting, intended in its function of social practice considering the interfacing role of the MIA charity between the State and poverty.
