Multimodal and abstractive summarization of open-domain videos requires summarizing the contents of an entire video in a few short sentences, while fusing information from multiple modalities, in our case video and audio (or text). Different from traditional news summarization, the goal is less to “compress” text information only, but to provide a fluent textual summary of information that has been collected and fused from different source modalities. In this paper, we introduce the task of abstractive summarization for open-domain videos, we show how a sequence-to-sequence model with hierarchical attention can integrate information from different modalities into a coherent output, and present pilot experiments on the How2 corpus of instructional videos. We also present a new evaluation metric for this task called Content F1 that measures semantic adequacy rather than fluency of the summaries, which is covered by ROUGE and BLEU like metrics.
Uniqueness of positive solutions for Neumann problems in unbounded domain

In this paper, we consider the existence and uniqueness positive solutions of the following boundary Neumann problem. -Δu=a(x)u - b(x)f(u) x ∈ T, ∂u/∂n = 0, on ∂T, where T ={x=(x1,x2,.,xN): xN > 0}, (N ≥ 2), a(x) and b(x) are continuous functions with b(x) positive on RN and n is outward pointing unit normal vector of ∂T, we show that under rather general conditions on a(x) and b(x) for large | x | and f(u) behaves like uq, where constant q > 1, the above problems possesses a minimal positive solution and a maximal positive solution, respectively, Moreover, we establish a relationship between the above problem and the following problem -Δu = a(x)u - b(x)f(u) x ∈ RN, We establish a comparison principal which our proof of the existence results rely essentially on. and make use of a rather intuitive squeezing method to get the existence theorems. Furthermore, by analyzing the behavior of the positive solution for the problem in whole space, we show the boundary Neumann problem in half space has only one positive solution. Our results improve the previous works.

Introductory Chapter: Parenting – Empirical Advances and Intervention Resources

Raising offspring is a hard and long work for humans: parents take care of their children for many years, and in some of the so-called western cultures, their involvement still continues for several years after their sons have gained a partial socioeconomic autonomy. Child rearing is also a very demanding task: few skills are not acquired by parents and are intuitive, as protection, emotional sensitivity, or baby talk [1], but many other abilities must be learned. Therefore, parenting is a field of human experience with a privileged kind: it is a hinge between nature and culture. On the one hand, parents must support natural growth of their children, guaranteeing balanced nutrients, warmth, and safety; on the other hand, parents are their children’s first socialization agents. They have to enculturate their children to the values, beliefs, knowledge, customs, and habits of the specific society in which they live (see [2]).
Title Decentralized H ∞ control for air traffic flow networks modeledby a class of compartmental systems

In this paper, we study the decentralized H 00 control problem for air traffic flow (ATF) networks. By di­ viding the airspace into a number of interconnected regions, we first characterize the traffic flow dynamics by means of a compartmental system approach, and formulate the ATF control problem in a decentralized way, where the controller gain matrix is required to be diagonal and element-restricted. To solve the problem, a novel characterization is presented to ensure that the closed-loop system is asymptotically stable with a prescribed Hoo performance. T hen, a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a required controller is proposed and an iterative linear matrix inequality approach is further developed to solve the design condition. Finally, a simple ATF network is used to show the applicability of the obtained results.
Corporate governance and corporate performance: some evidence from newly listed firms on Chinese stock markets

This paper is concerned with some corporate governance issues related to newly listed firms in China, based on a sample of 329 firms commencing listing on Shanghai Stock Exchange (SHSE) and Shenzhen Stock exchange (SZSE) during the period from 1998 to 2000. We first investigate the impact of ownership change due to stock market listing on corporate performance measured in terms of profitability, sales, leverage and employee productivity. Our results indicate that, on average, profitability, sales and employee productivity have improved from pre-listing to post-listing. We further investigate the impacts of state majority control, foreign ownership and regulation effects on corporate performance. Overall, this paper provides some new evidence on the listing effect, ownership structure and regulation effect on Chinese firms which will be valuable to the future reform of state owned enterprises.
Modeling the Insulation Paper Drying Process from Thermogravimetric Analyses

It is now well-established that moisture in the oil paper insulation used in power and instrument transformers significantly reduces the transformers’ lifetimes, and can eventually lead to premature failure. This moisture should, therefore, always be removed, not only during production but also after repairs. At the final stage of manufacturing, the drying process should be carried out to remove water and air vacuoles contained in the cellulose-based paper before impregnation. Successful drying helps increase the residual life of transformers, because the presence of moisture and air vacuoles accelerates the aging/degradation process of the oil paper insulation. Proper estimation of residual moisture before impregnation and the determination of the time required for drying play key roles in the time-consuming process of drying. In this paper, the disadvantages of inadequate drying are addressed, followed by a mathematical approach to model the paper drying process. A mathematical model describing the kinetics of drying according to temperature, initial moisture, paper weight, final moisture, and extraction rate is proposed. This model also estimated the amount of moisture removed at the end of the drying process.
Professional development of teachers acting as bridges in online social networks

Spanish K-12 teachers participate in online social networks to share educational resources and also to socialise with other teachers. In these networks, participants connected to several groups can adopt a bridging role. In general, ‘bridging teachers’ are more participative, engaged and they help to spread information through the network. In this study, we explore how bridging teachers use Twitter and whether this use results in a better outcome in their educational practices. Three kinds of data sources were analysed: teacher interviews, teachers’ contributions on their own blogs and webpages, and teachers’ Twitter activity. The analysis provided information on the participants’ school practices, professional development, use of social networking sites and type of activity on Twitter. The results indicate that teachers acting as bridges use participatory methodologies combined with technology in their classroom and are active users of several social networking sites, although they prefer Twitter for professional matters. Regarding the use of Twitter, we have been able to identify two main patterns of interaction: one targeted at information sharing and the other focused on social relations.

Improving the speech and communication abilities of children with Down's syndrome : a new model of service delivery using electropalatography

Down’s syndrome (DS) is the most common genetic cause of mild to moderate learning difficulties (LD), affecting 1 in every 1000 live births in the UK (Down’s Syndrome Association, 2015). The speech skills of individuals with DS are poorer than would be anticipated in relation to both their general cognitive ability and their skills in expressive language (Roberts et al., 2007). These specific difficulties in speech production can lead to significantly reduced intelligibility (Kumin, 2006) which in turn affects the ability to communicate effectively. This often places considerable constraints on educational progress, affects friendship formation and impedes integration into the wider community. The specific speech production difficulties encountered by individuals with DS are often considered to be intractable as they have proved to be resistant to conventional methods of intervention delivered by speech and language therapists (Kumin, 2006). These difficulties persist into adulthood which can negatively impact life outcomes, affect employability and contribute to social exclusion (Shriberg & Widder, 1990). Our previous research funded by the Medical Research Council investigated the speech difficulties experienced by 27 children and young people, aged 9 to 18 years, with DS. As well as increasing our understanding of the types of speech errors made by this population, it experimented with the use of an intervention technique called electropalatography (EPG), not currently routinely available within the NHS, as a method of correcting speech errors in children with DS with a view to improving their intelligibility. The results from this previous research led to the grant funded by the Nuffield Foundation.
Smegenų edema ir jos gydymas

Santrauka. Smegenų edema – tai gyvybei grėsminga būklė, išsivystanti dėl uždegiminės reakcijos. Dažniausiai tai smegenų traumos, masyvaus smegenų infarkto, hemoragijų, absceso, naviko, alergijos, sepsio, hipoksijos bei kitų toksinių ir metabolinių veiksnių pasekmė. Smegenų edemos tipai. Vazogeninė – padidėjus smegenų kapiliarų endotelio pralaidumui albuminui ir kitiems plazmos baltymams; citotoksinė – išsekus ląstelių membranų energiniam potencialui, nepažeidus užtvaros; hidrostatinė – sutrikus smegenų kraujotakos autoreguliacijai; osmosinė – dėl kraujo hemodiliucijos; intersticinė – dėl ūminės smegenų vandenės (kai kurie autoriai dar išskiria išeminę edemą). Dabar, kai dažna jaunų žmonių mirties priežastis yra įvairios traumos ir trauminis smegenų pažeidimas, smegenų edemos gydymo taktika yra labai svarbi. Intensyviosios terapijos skyriuje būtinas ligonio būklės stebėjimas monitoriuose. Svarbi ir tinkama ligonio padėtis: galva pakeliama 30° kampu – taip optimizuojamas smegenų perfuzijos slėgis bei intrakranijinio slėgio padidėjimo kontrolė. Taikoma hiperventiliacija. Kontroliuojama hipotermija mažina metabolizmo greitį smegenyse. Palaikoma nežymiai teigiama skysčių pusiausvyra kristaloidiniais ar koloidiniais (hipertoniniais – hiperonkotiniais) tirpalais, o kartu ir smegenų perfuzinis slėgis didesnis nei 70 mmHg. Skiriamas antihipertenzinis gydymas, nesteroidiniai priešuždegiminiai vaistai, barbitūratai. Steroidai mažina kapiliarų bei hematoencefalinio barjero pralaidumą, skatindami Na+/K+ jonų ir vandens judėjimą per endotelio pagrindinę membraną, todėl jie vartojami gydant vazogeninę bei smegenų naviko sukeltą smegenų edemą. Glutamato ir NMDA receptorių antagonistai gerina smegenų mikrocirkuliaciją ir metabolizmą. Trometamolis koreguoja smegenų acidozę. Išplitusi smegenų edema gydoma chirurginiu būdu: atliekama dvipusė dekompresinė, o kartais ir šoninių bei užpakalinės duobės kraniotomija. Smegenų edemos gydymas yra kompleksinis, o gerų rezultatų galima laukti tik laiku ją diagnozavus ir suteikus tinkamą medicinos pagalbą. Medicina (Kaunas) 2007; 43(2)
Dementia IL-15 Is Elevated in Cerebrospinal Fluid of Patients With Alzheimer ’ s Disease and Frontotemporal

Interleukin-15 is a novel proinflammatory cytokine. It is produced by activated blood monocytes, macrophages, and glial cells. The objective of our study was to assess the role of interleukin-15 as a marker of increased proinflammatory activity in patients with Alzheimer’s disease and frontotemporal dementia. We measured cerebrospinal fluid interleukin-15 levels in 17 patients with Alzheimer’s disease and 7 patients with frontotemporal dementia in comparison with 17 patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and 15 patients with Parkinson’s disease. Patients with Alzheimer’s disease and frontotemporal dementia had significantly higher cerebrospinal fluid interleukin-15 levels compared with patients with noninflammatory neurological diseases (P < .05 and P < .01, respectively). In Alzheimer’s disease, a significant positive correlation was noted between interleukin-15 levels and age of onset (R = .48, P = .05). Our findings suggest that interleukin-15 may be implicated in the pathophysiology of Alzheimer’s disease and frontotemporal dementia. (J Geriatr Psychiatry Neurol 2006;19:114-117)

The effect of faloak ( Sterculia quadrifida R.Br.) extract to the cell membrane potentials of tilapia ( Oreochromis nilaticu s) egg in contaminated water lead was studied. The cell membrane potential of tilapia egg was measured by a microelectrode connected to a Picoscope. The result showed that increasing of the Pb consentration caused decreasly of the membrane potential. Faloak extraction in contaminated water raised the membrane potential value. It seems that the antioxidant of faloak extract can reduce pollution rate. Keywords : Faloak extract, Pb, tilapia egg, membrane potential
Irish social work : mindfulness, maintenance of emotional separation and professional quality of life

A study of 103 social workers (male =12, female=90, missing response=1) currently working in Ireland and aged over 18 years of age was conducted to explore the relationships of mindfulness and maintenance of emotional separation with the three subscales of the Professional Quality of Life Scale (Stamm, 2010); compassion satisfaction, secondary traumatic stress and burnout. The study was a mixed design study with correlational and cross sectional aspects. The study found social workers with higher levels of mindfulness exhibited higher compassion satisfaction and lower burnout. It also found those higher in maintenance of emotional separation were also higher in compassion satisfaction, lower in secondary traumatic stress and lower in burnout. Within demographic groups statutory social workers showed higher levels of compassion satisfaction but there were no significant differences based on area or work or gender. Social workers with high and low levels of mindfulness and emotional separation showed significant differences in levels of professional quality of life overall. Those showing higher levels of mindfulness also showed higher emotional separation.
Faktor Penghambat Pelaksanaan SPO 7 Benar dalam Pemberian Obat di Ruang Rawat Inap Rumah Sakit Panti Nirmala Factors Hindering the 7 Right SOP Implementation of Drug Delivery in Inpatient Ward Panti

Panti Nirmala Hospital's patient safety report contained 34,1% of events related to medication administration errors. This indicates that the implementation of drug delivery based on 7 rights is not running well. The purposes of this study are to identify and to analyze the factors inhibiting the implementation of drug delivery based on 7 rights according to the standard operating procedures (SOP) in inpatient unit of Panti Nirmala Hospital. This research was conducted by observation method towards 39 nurses in 7 units of inpatient units in the morning and afternoon shifts during drug administration, both oral and intravenous medications. After making observations, researchers gave questionnaires to measure knowledge, attitude, and willingness of nurses. The questionnaires were distributed to 49 inpatient unit nurses. The observations show 64,9% of nurses do right patients, 86,5% of nurses do right medication, 64,9% of nurses do right time, and 100% of nurses do right dose, right way and documentation. The results of the questionnaire showed that 89% of inpatient nurses have good knowledge on the principles of 7 rights. The nurses possess good attitude and have willingness in implementing drug delivery based on 7 rights. This was due to a lack of effective communication from nurses to patients and families.

Investigation of Relationship between Organizational Justice Dimensions and Maintaining Expert Human Resources of Educational System in Hormozgan

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship of organizational justice dimensions and maintaining expert human resources in educational system in Hormozgan. The population included the educational system managers, deputies and experts of Hormozgan Province in the educational year 2012-2013. From among them 250 people were selected randomly based on Morgan formula as sample volume. This is a descriptive research of correlational type and organizational justice questionnaire was used to collect data and his self-designed questionnaire was used to maintain the expert human resources. The reliability of the questionnaire was evaluated using Cronbach’s Alfa. Pearson’s correlational coefficient and multiple regression coefficient were used to analyze the data. The results of Pearson test showed that there is a significant relationship between organizational justice dimensions and maintaining expert human resources. The results of the regression analysis showed that organizational justice can predict dependent variable changes and that interactional justice has the most power to predict changes of dependent variable.
Managing your Customer’s Tariff Choice: What to do when your Customers Pay too Much

Abstract Telecommunications companies traditionally offer several tariffs from which their customers can choose the tariff that best suits their preferences. Yet, customers sometimes make choices that are not optimal for them because they do not minimize their bill for a certain usage amount. We show in this paper that companies should be very concerned about choices in which customers pick tariffs that are too small for them because they lead to a significant increase in customers churn. In contrast, this is not the case if customers choose tariffs that are too big for them. The reason is that in particular flat-rates provide customers with the additional benefit that they guarantee a constant bill amount that consumption can be enjoyed more freely because all costs are already accounted for.
Why Percy can't think: A response to Bailin

In "The Problem with Percy: Epistemology, Understanding and Critical Thinking," Sharon Bailin argues that critical thinking skills do not generalize because students do not understand the larger epistemological picture in which to situate the importance of arguments and reasons. More plausible explanations are: (I) instructors across the disciplines do not give assignments requiring critical thinking (CT) skills, (2) single courses in CT have little effect, (3) pragmatic arguments showing the effectiveness of CT are more effective than epistemological arguments with the average student. So to achieve the generalization of the logical skills and intellectual dispositions inherent in CT courses, CT thinking cannot be departmentalized.
Optical manipulation of the exciton charge state in single-layer tungsten disulfide

Raman scattering and photoluminescence (PL) emission are used to investigate a single layer of tungsten disulfide (WS${}_{2}$) obtained by exfoliating $n$-type bulk crystals. Direct gap emission with both neutral and charged exciton recombination is observed in the low temperature PL spectra. The ratio between the trion and exciton emission can be tuned simply by varying the excitation power. Moreover, the intensity of the trion emission can be independently tuned using additional subband gap laser excitation.
Psychoneurogastroenterology- A Review of Current Understanding

The existence of a gastrointestinal (GI) nervous system distinct from the CNS has been recognized for more than a century. With impressive brain-like features, the GI nervous system is increasingly being postulated to have an indispensable role in the pathophysiology of various neuropsychiatric disorders. Recent research has disproved the earlier notion of the communication between the higher brain and the GI brain being a unidirectional one. The major evolutionary event of microbial colonization of the GI tract in mammals has also contributed to the complexity of the GI-brain communication, and the GI microbiome has been hypothesized to explain the genome-complexity conundrum in humans. The role of the secretory products and the genetic components, for example Pre/Pro-biotics derived from various microbial species, are becoming the focus of intense research. Though psychoneurogastroenterology is a nascent entity, the evidences accumulated over the past decade definitely indicate an enormous potential for the exploitation of the GI-brain interactions, especially in neuropsychiatric research. This review about the developments in this field is aimed at igniting more research interest into this relatively neglected field, with the hope that it may open the door to innumerous future possibilities in neuropsychiatry.
