ONLINE HATE-SPEECH AND ANONYMOUS INTERNET COMMENTS: HOW TO FIGHT THE LEGAL BATTLE IN SLOVENIA?

The aim of this paper is to establish, who, according to the Slovenian civil and criminal law, may be liable for damage caused by unlawful commenting resulting in hate speech. To achieve this, remedies available under Slovenian civil and criminal law are analysed and special attention is given the their effi ciency in practice. Although legal remedies against hate speech are in line with international standards set by Council of Europe and Court for Justice of the EU, the case law in Slovenia is scarce and expected to even decline due to recent changes in the criminal defi nition of the offence.
BI Norwegian Business School Do stocks outperform Treasury bills ?

This thesis highlights the important role of positively skewed short horizon stock returns, and the effect of compounding on the long-term return distribution. I show that the majority of individual common stocks deliver a lifetime buy-and-hold return less than the accumulated one-month Treasury bill rate over matched horizons, and that they often are negative the results help explain why poorly diversified active strategies often will underperform market averages. ii 0957290 GRA 19703
Non Typical Fault Detection in Power Transformers using SFRA

The detection of incipient faults in power transformers allows its timely repairing, thereby preventing their evolution into declared faults, which permanently damage the transformer. The sweep frequency response test has effectively allowed detecting a significant number of such faults for several years. This paper focuses on the analysis of fault identification involving problems in the transformer internal connections, the grounding of both the tank and the core as well as problems of bad cable connections involving the SFRA test equipment itself. Behavioral responses typical of this type of faults, obtained through field tests of power transformers are shown as well. Index Terms Frequency Sweep, Incipient Faults, Grounding.
Employee participation and representation in Central and Eastern Europe

Using data from the 2013 European Company Survey, this article presents a study of employee involvement and participation (EIP) in decision-making in 12 Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries, a context that is rather less studied but interesting because of its political past and its current emerging economic status. The study explores how these countries can be clustered according to positive employee attitude towards employee representation (ER) and EIP in decision-making. It examines the association between these two components and the effectiveness of the ER body, as well as whether there are differences between country clusters. Finally, the article examines how the degree of EIP in decision-making is related to ER body effectiveness. This research contributes to prior work by seeking to understand EIP in decision-making in an understudied sample of CEE countries and provides an insightful classification.
The Relationship between Adolescent Behavior and Adult Success

Introduction: The traits and characteristics learned and developed in childhood have lasting effects throughout life. However, it is unclear how these traits and characteristics impact individuals as adults. This study examined the impact of adolescent body image on three dimensions of adult success-romantic success, earnings success and health success. Methods: Body image was measured using an instrument created from survey questions concerning body size and desired weight change in adolescence. Using two waves of data from ADD Health, a structural equation model was used to assess the relationship between adolescent body image and adult success. Estimation accounts for the endogeneity of body image and success in the system, specifies variables related to the heteroscedasticity of the residuals, and controls for the way these variables are used to model the error. Genders and success parameters are estimated separately. Results: Body image varied significantly by race/ethnicity with blacks having better and Hispanics having worse body image than other groups. Health and BMI were negatively related to body image for both genders. Not surprisingly, adolescent body image was highly correlated with adult success. Adolescents with higher body image reported having better physical health, more stable relationships and higher earnings than those with low body image. While body image was significantly related to success for both genders, BMI appeared to be more deterministic for females than males. Physical health and household size played only a small role. Discussion and Conclusion: Results were consistent with expectations. Given that health and self-esteem were important drivers for adult success, it is important to establish mental and emotional well-being among all races and genders early in life.

Knowledge of Stroke Risk Factors among Patients with Hypertension and Diabetes Attending the Outpatient Clinics of a Nigerian Tertiary Hospital (P04.068)

Objective: To determine the knowledge of stroke risk factors among patients with hypertension and diabetes attending the outpatient clinics of a Nigerian tertiary hospital. Background Although the first step towards effective prevention of stroke is awareness of its risk factors, there is limited information on knowledge of these risk factors especially among Nigerians at increased risk. Design/Methods: Using a cross-sectional design, patients with a diagnosis of hypertension, diabetes or both attending the outpatient clinics of the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital were interviewed using an interviewer-administered semi-structured questionnaire. Respondents were requested to mention all the risk factors for stroke they knew. Outcome measure was ability to mention at least hypertension or diabetes as a risk factor; binary logistic regression analysis was used to determine factors associated with the outcome measure. Results: There were 314 respondents (mean age 56.3 years, male 47.1%). The risk factors mentioned by the respondents were: hypertension (34.7%), diabetes (7.3%), alcohol intake (4.5%), smoking (3.8%), overweight and obesity (1.9%) and heart disease (0.6%). Almost half (48.1%) did not know any risk factor. Factors associated with ability to mention at least hypertension or diabetes as risk factors were age (OR 0.980, 95% CI 0.961-0.998; p=0.034), >12 years of formal education (OR 2.492, 95% CI 1.537-4.040; p Conclusions: Despite being on follow up for hypertension and diabetes which are well-documented stroke risk factors, knowledge of these as stroke risk factors is very poor in our respondents. A younger age, good formal education, urban residence and previous health education on stroke were associated with ability to identify hypertension and diabetes as stroke risk factors. Intensive health education is needed in order to improve on this poor knowledge. Disclosure: Dr. Wahab has nothing to disclose. Dr. Kayode has nothing to disclose. Dr. Musa has nothing to disclose.
Optimal consumption and portfilio choice with ambiguity

We consider optimal consumption and portfolio choice in the presence of Knightian uncertainty in continuous-time. We embed the problem into the new framework of stochastic calculus for such settings, dealing in particular with the issue of non equivalent multiple priors. We solve the problem completely by identifying the worst case measure. Our setup also allows to consider interest rate uncertainty; we show that under some robust parameter constellations, the investor optimally puts all his wealth into the asset market, and does not save or borrow at all. ∗ Email address: Qian.Lin@uni-bielefeld.de

The Functional Spatial Abilities Questionnaire for Use with Persons Who are in the Early Stages of Alzheimer Disease: Preliminary Data on Reliability and Validity

The 12-item Functional Spatial Abilities Questionnaire (FSAQ) was developed for evaluating spatial orientation in clients who have progressive dementia of the Alzheimer type. Twenty-five clients in the early stages of Alzheimer disease, ten clients in the later stage of the disease and 97 normal subjects rated themselves on the questionnaire. A proxy version of the questionnaire was administered to a caregiver or relative of each subject in the three groups. The FSAQ demonstrated acceptable test-retest reliability (ICCs = .84 to .85). Construct validity was examined in three ways. First, using the known group method, the proxy-ratings were shown to discriminate between early and late Alzheimer clients, but not the self-ratings. Second, there was a high agreement between the self-and proxy-ratings in the early Alzheimer group indicating concurrent validity. Third, the FSAQ scores did not correlate with mental status examination scores which provides evidence for discriminant validity. The FSAQ is quick to administer and provides occupational therapists with a basis for further evaluation of a client's ability to find his or her way in new or familiar environments.
Understanding the Users and Videos by Mining a Novel Danmu Dataset

Recent years have witnessed a successful rise of the time synchronized gossiping comment, or so-called danmu combined with online videos. This new business mode has enriched communication among users by sending users’ feelings through danmus and sharing these danmus on time synchronized videos. Can danmu communication be helpful for better user behavior modeling or video analyzing? To this question, in this article, preliminary attempts are made on analysis of users and videos by introducing a Danmu dataset which is collected from a real-world danmu-enabled video sharing platform. The dataset contains 1.7 TB of videos and danmus in total across eight video categories. With a focus on the 7.9 million danmus records and 4.8 million video frames, we first perform the basic statistic analysis and high-level semantic analysis. After that, we show some of the previous work on this area, including user behavior modeling, fine-grained video understanding and labeling, video plot generation and image-enhanced semantic understanding. For each application, we also propose its possible future directions. We hope this new dataset will inspire new ideas in areas among language, multimedia, and user understanding.
B-SPLINE SIGNAL PROCESSING: PART II-EFFICIENT DESIGN AND APPLICATIONS

This paper describes a class of recursive filtering algorithms for the efficient implementation of B-spline inter- polation and approximation techniques. In terms of simplicity of realization and reduction of computational complexity, these algorithms compare favorably with conventional matrix ap- proaches. A filtering interpretation (low-pass filter followed by an exact polynomial spline interpolator) of smoothing spline and least squares approximation methods is proposed. These tech- niques are applied to the design of digital filters for cubic spline signal processing. An efficient implementation of a smoothing spline edge detector is proposed. It is also shown how to con- struct a cubic spline image pyramid that minimizes the loss of information in passage from one resolution level to the next. In terms of common measures of fidelity (e.g., visual quality, SNR), this data structure appears to be superior to the widely used Gaussian/Laplacian pyramid.
A resolution-based E-connected calculus

We introduce a calculus to reason about E-connections, which provide a computationally robust method to combine arbitrary Abstract Description Systems (ADSs). ADSs, introduced by Baader et al, are a generalization of various logics such as temporal, spatial, epistemic description and modal logics in general. In this work, we restrict the logics to be combined to normal modal logics. We provide a resolution-based calculus to deal with connections, assuming that the global satisfiability problems of the component logics are decidable. This allows us to focus on reasoning only about the restrictions imposed by the E-connections, leaving domain-specific reasoning to the component logic. One of the most important steps required to achieve this is the proper separation of syntactical elements related to different components via a proposed normal form. Therefore, we provide the full set of transformation rules, presenting proofs for termination and preservation of satisfiability of this transformation. This work presents the correctness, completeness and termination proofs for the proposed calculus. We also make available a proof-of-concept implementation, based on the KSP prover. We discuss the results of the evaluation and suggest some modifications that can be made to improve performance, paving the way for the development of a future modular and efficient implementation.
Developing a socio-dental system of dental needs assessment in children

The traditional normative approach to dental needs assessment has serious shortcomings. Studies aiming to improve the normative approach are limited to adults, and cover particular types of dental treatment. The objective of this study was to develop a comprehensive system of dental needs assessment in children using the socio-dental approach, and to compare it with the traditional normative approach. It was hypothesised that the proportion of socio-dentally assessed needs was significantly lower than that assessed normatively. All 1126 grade-6 primary schoolchildren aged 11-12 years in Suphanburi province in Thailand were invited and 1034 participated in a cross-sectional survey. They were dentally examined for normative treatment needs, interviewed to assess oral impacts and completed a self-administered questionnaire on demographic and behavioural data. The integration of oral impacts with Normative Needs generated Impact-Related Needs, while further considering oral behaviours and evidence-based treatment resulted in Propensity-Related Needs. The CHILD-Oral Impacts on Daily Performances (CHILD-OIDP) index was developed to assess oral impacts. The index was shown to be a valid, reliable and practical measure of oral health-related quality of life in 12-year-old Thai children. It has potential to be integrated into the socio-dental needs system. When the socio-dental approach was used to assess needs, there was a large reduction in the extent of needs, when compared to the normative approach. The prevalence of needs for treatment/care for non-progressive dental conditions decreased from 98.8% for Normative Needs to 39.5% for Impact-Related Needs (p 0.001). The amount of normative treatment required decreased further when Propensity-Related Needs were assessed. It is concluded that the socio-dental needs assessment approach decreases the amount of dental needs. The approach highlights not only the importance of oral health-related quality of life in needs assessment, but also incorporates a broader approach for dental care in meeting children's dental needs.
Providing Traffic Control Device Information in a Connected and Automated Vehicle Environment

Traffic control devices (TCDs) play a critical role in delivering regulatory, warning, informational, and guidance information to drivers. Transportation agencies devote considerable resources to support TCD installation and maintenance. However, as connected vehicles develop and vehicle automation becomes a reality, the potential exists to replace or augment TCDs with a digital connection. This project investigated the development of a digital TCD (DTCD) data service, focusing on signs and pavement markings. To do so, the research team investigated emerging wireless communications capabilities, identified infrastructure information needs of automated vehicles, reviewed Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) current TCD practices, and surveyed existing data service systems. The results of the study led to the following conclusions: • Automated and connected vehicles will be most directly served with a comprehensive DTCD data service as opposed to deriving information from physical devices. • A portion of the data needed to populate a DTCD data service exists in VDOT database systems. • There is a need for a national standard for DTCD data services. • VDOT should conduct a prototype study to gain experience developing and operating a DTCD data service.
Socially Privacy-Preserving Data Collection for Crowdsensing

Crowdsensing has been recognized as a promising data collection paradigm, in which a platform outsources sensing tasks to a large number of users. However, requesting users to report raw data may give rise to many practical concerns, such as a significant overhead of communication and central processing, besides users’ privacy concerns. In many scenarios (e.g, advertising and recommendation), the data collector directly benefits from statistical aggregation of raw data. Thus motivated, we consider the data collection problem based on user's local histograms, which is intimately related to the fundamental trade-off between the platform's accuracy and users’ privacy. Because of users’ social relationship, their data are often correlated, indicating that users’ privacy may be leaked from others’ data. To tackle this challenge, we first utilize Gaussian Markov random fields to model the correlation structure embedded in users’ data. The data collection is modeled as a Stackelberg game where the platform decides its reward policy and users decide their noise levels while taking into account the social coupling among users. For the reward policy design, we first establish the relationship between users’ Nash equilibrium and the payment mechanism, and then optimize the platform's accuracy under a budget constraint. Further, since the noise levels are users’ private information, they may use falsified noise levels to achieve higher payoffs, which in turn impairs the crowdsensing performance. It turns out that with the insight into the correlation structure among users’ data, the information asymmetry can be overcome based on peer prediction. We revisit the payment mechanism to guarantee dominant truthfulness of each user's strategy. Theoretical analysis and numerical results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed mechanism.
Projection pursuit random forest using discriminant feature analysis model for churners prediction in telecom industry

A major and demanding issue in the telecommunications industry is the prediction of churn customers. Churn describes the customer who is attrite from one Telecom service provider to competitors searching for better services offers. Companies from the Telco sector frequently have customer relationship management offices it is the main objective in how to win back defecting clients because preserve long-term customers can be much more beneficial to a company than gain newly recruited customers. Researchers and practitioners are paying great attention and investing more in developing a robust customer churn prediction model, especially in the telecommunication business by proposed numerous machine learning approaches. Many approaches of Classification are established, but the most effective in recent times is a tree-based method. The main contribution of this research is to predict churners/non-churners in the Telecom sector based on project pursuit Random Forest (PPForest) that uses discriminant feature analysis as a novelty extension of the conventional Random Forest approach for learning oblique Project Pursuit tree (PPtree). The proposed methodology leverages the advantage of two discriminant analysis methods to calculate the project index used in the construction of PPtree. The first method used Support Vector Machines (SVM) as a classifier in the construction of PPForest to differentiate between churners and non-churners customers. The second method is a Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) to achieve linear splitting of variables node during oblique PPtree construction to produce individual classifiers that are robust and more diverse than classical Random Forest. It found that the proposed methods enjoy the best performance measurements e.g. Accuracy, hit rate, ROC curve, Gini coefficient, Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistic and lift coefficient, H-measure, AUC. Moreover, PPForest based on direct applied of LDA on the raw data delivers an effective evaluator for the customer churn prediction model.
Notes for a social occupational therapy: the way is done by the way we go

It is a social occupational therapy theoric analysis by two perspectives. The first one understands illness as a social and individual, medical and existential phenomenon with several meanings. This perspective is also a critical way to see – that was created since the 80s of the XX century – the dichotomies between individual-society, men-nature, men-culture. These dichotomies make us think the individual totally discontinued, out of the society and out of the environment. It seems like outstanding parts or parts linked in a mechanic way to the whole. The second part discusses the necessity to think the way to Occupational Therapy become able to be a conflict mediator an also to be a place of cultural negociation.
