Longitudinal validity of self-rated health: the presence and impact of response shift

Abstract Objective: This paper aimed to examine the longitudinal validity of self-rated health (SRH) and whether it would be affected by possible changes in evaluation standards (i.e., response shift) over time. Design: Data are from a longitudinal survey of a nationally representative sample in China. Analytical sample was restricted to respondents aged 45 and above (n = 15,893). Individual fixed effects models were used to analyze changes in ratings on health anchoring vignettes and self-rated health over time. Main outcome measures: SRH at two time points with a two-year span. Results: Both SRH and anchoring vignettes ratings displayed changes over a two-year span for all the studied age groups. Compared with the self-assessed change in health (“How would you rate your health as compared to that of last year? ”), changes in SRH reported over time displayed a more stable and optimistic pattern. SRH responded to doctor diagnosed chronic disease and changes in functional limitation, before and after adjusting for evaluation standards. Conclusion: SRH is responsive to the newly diagnosed chronic disease and functional limitation, regardless of whether we consider response shift within the same respondents over time.
Introduction of a tree-based technique for efficient and real-time label retrieval in the object tracking system

This paper addresses the issue of the real-time tracking quality of moving objects in large-scale video surveillance systems. During the tracking process, the system assigns an identifier or label to each tracked object to distinguish it from other objects. In such a mission, it is essential to keep this identifier for the same objects, whatever the area, the time of their appearance, or the detecting camera. This is to conserve as much information about the tracking object as possible, decrease the number of ID switching (ID-Sw), and increase the quality of object tracking. To accomplish object labeling, a massive amount of data collected by the cameras must be searched to retrieve the most similar (nearest neighbor) object identifier. Although this task is simple, it becomes very complex in large-scale video surveillance networks, where the data becomes very large. In this case, the label retrieval time increases significantly with this increase, which negatively affects the performance of the real-time tracking system. To avoid such problems, we propose a new solution to automatically label multiple objects for efficient real-time tracking using the indexing mechanism. This mechanism organizes the metadata of the objects extracted during the detection and tracking phase in an Adaptive BCCF-tree. The main advantage of this structure is: its ability to index massive metadata generated by multi-cameras, its logarithmic search complexity, which implicitly reduces the search response time, and its quality of research results, which ensure coherent labeling of the tracked objects. The system load is distributed through a new Internet of Video Things infrastructure-based architecture to improve data processing and real-time object tracking performance. The experimental evaluation was conducted on a publicly available dataset generated by multi-camera containing different crowd activities.
On minimax estimation of a normal mean vector for general quadratic loss

Let X ~ ? (T,S>) (S known) and consider the problem of estimating the mean vector when loss is general quadratic loss (d ? 9)'Q(6 ? T). Many results are known for the case S = Q = I. There is also a relatively large literature for the case of general S and Q but it is relatively less well developed. The purpose of this paper is to unify many of the results in the general case by relating them to the simpler case S = Q = I. We give a reduction of the general case to a canonical form (S = I, Q ? Diagonal) and show that a natural correspondence between priors, marginals, and estimators in the two versions of the problem preserves risk, admissibility, minimaxity and Bayesianity. This allows many results on minimaxity and admissibility in the case S = Q = I to be extended to the general case and allows an expansion of the classes of known minimax estimators in the general case. It also seems to make the general case somewhat more comprehensible.
Heterogeneity in Psychological Adaptation Patterns and Its Predictive Factors Among Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A Latent Profile Analysis

Purpose To identify the distinct profiles of psychosocial adaptation of Chinese inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients and the predictive factors. Patients and Methods A cross-sectional survey method was used to recruit 263 IBD patients who were treated in a tertiary hospital in Shandong Province from July 2022 to April 2023. The general information questionnaire, Inflammatory Bowel Disease Psychosocial Adaptation Questionnaire, Resilience Scale for Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Chinese Benefit Finding Scale, and Stigma Scale for Chronic Illnesses, Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire and Inflammatory Bowel Disease-Disk were used as the instruments for investigation. Latent profile analysis was conducted with the six dimensions of the IBD Psychosocial Adaptation Questionnaire as the explicit indicators. The predictors of profile membership were analyzed by multinomial logistic regressions. Results Four profiles of psychosocial adaptation in IBD patients were identified: Low level psychosocial adaptation (14.1%), Medium level psychosocial adaptation – High body image distress (25.5%), Medium level psychosocial adaptation – Low body image distress (30.0%) and High level psychosocial adaptation (30.4%). Compared with Low level psychosocial adaptation group, High level psychosocial adaptation group had a higher level of positive cognition (OR=2.930, 95%IC 0.017–0.305, p< 0.001) and overall psychological resilience (OR=1.832, 95%IC 0.000–0.016, p < 0.001), more health behaviors (OR= 2.520, 95%IC 0.191–1.358, p=0.001), a lower level of internal stigma (OR=0.135, 95%IC 0.043–0.420, p < 0.001) and overall stigma (OR=0.010, 95%IC 0.003–0.118, p=0.001), less acceptance-resignation coping style (OR=0.055, 95%IC 0.209–3.200, p < 0.001) and lower disease burden (OR=0.407, 95%IC 0.298–0.698, p=0.006). Conclusion About a half of IBD patients had a medium level of psychosocial adaptation. Psychological resilience, benefit finding, stigma, medical coping styles and disease burden predicted psychosocial adaptation profiles. Healthcare providers need to focus on the heterogeneity of psychosocial adaptation of IBD patients and formulate personalized intervention programs for patients with different profiles to improve their psychosocial adaptation.

Exact Template Matching Using Boolean Satisfiability

Reversible logic is an emerging research area that has shown promising results in applications such as quantum computing, low power design, and optical computing. Since the synthesis of minimal circuits is a cumbersome task, many synthesis algorithms apply heuristics and can therefore not provide a minimal solution. As a consequence, post synthesis methods such as window optimization and template matching are being applied. Template matching algorithms explore the circuits for gate cascades that can be replaced by smaller ones using a special class of identity circuits, so called templates. The determination of cascades applicable for substitution is the bottleneck of the template matching algorithm and problem-solving methods have been proposed in the recent past. Since these algorithms are based on heuristics, it cannot be ensured that a matching cascade can always be found. In this paper, we propose a new approach that determines matching cascades based on Boolean satisfiability and therefore ensures that these cascades are always found if they exist. Experimental results demonstrate that template matching yields smaller circuits when applying the new method for cascade determination.
Complexins Regulate a Late Step in Ca 2 1-Dependent Neurotransmitter Release cellular

Munc13-1 functions as an essential synaptic vesicle priming factor (Brose et al., 2000). Vesicle fusion, on the Abteilung Membranbiophysik Am Faßberg 11 other hand, is thought to be mediated by the concerted action of the synaptic vesicle protein Synaptobrevin/ D-37077 Gö ttingen Bundesrepublik Deutschland VAMP (vesicle associated membrane protein) and the two synaptic plasma membrane proteins Syntaxin and SNAP25 (synaptosomal associated protein of 25 kDa).

Deaths due to traumatic brain injury in Austria between 1980 and 2012

Abstract Background: To investigate changes in TBI mortality in Austria during 1980–2012 and to identify causes for these changes. Methods: Statistik Austria provided data (from death certificates) on all TBI deaths from January 1980–December 2012. Data included year/month of death, age, sex, residency of the cases and mechanism of accident. Data regarding the size of the age groups was obtained from Statistik Austria. Mortality rates (MR; deaths/105 population/year) were calculated for male vs. female patients and for different age groups. Changes in mechanisms of TBI were evaluated. Results: The MR decreased from 28.1 to 11.8 deaths/105 population/year. Traffic-related TBI deaths decreased from 62% to 9%. This caused a significant decrease in TBI deaths in younger age groups. Fall-related TBI deaths (mostly geriatric cases) remained unchanged. Falls became the leading cause; its rate increased from 22% to 64% of all TBI deaths. Thus, the mean age of fatal TBI cases increased by 20 years and the rate of cases aged <60 years decreased from 71% to 28%. Another important cause was suicide by firearms; its rate increased from 10% to 23% of all TBI deaths. Conclusions: These findings warrant better prevention of falls in the elderly and of suicides.
Review on Brand Spam Detection Using Feature Selection

Word of mouth is one of the way of marketing, and its usage is increasing because today marketing becomes more expensive and less effective. In the past, word of mouth was limited to person-to-person communication. Today, the internet allows conversations which are spread all over the world and influence millions of people. This fact, changes way of marketing from traditional person-to- person communication to online reviews, which is considered a key factor for purchasing decisions in marketing. These reviews are important to customer and to companies or vendors. Customers use the reviews to make decisions regarding quality of product which they are going to buy. Companies or vendors use opinions to make a decision to increase their sales. However, all reviews are given by customers or users are not given with true intention. Some reviews may be given to promote or to demote the product. Some reviews are given on brand of product, and some are given related to advertising of another product. This fact, need to find how many reviews are spam or non spam. In this paper, the work is proposed for detecting reviews on brand spam detection using Feature Selection.

How functional programming mattered

In 1989 when functional programming was still considered a niche topic, Hughes wrote a visionary paper arguing convincingly 'why functional programming matters'. More than two decades have passed. Has functional programming really mattered? Our answer is a resounding 'Yes! '. Functional programming is now at the forefront of a new generation of programming technologies, and enjoying increasing popularity and influence. In this paper, we review the impact of functional programming, focusing on how it has changed the way we may construct programs, the way we may verify programs, and fundamentally the way we may think about programs.

Data Reduction Approach for Sensitive Association Classification Rule Hiding

When a business unit shares data with another unit, there could be some sensitive patterns which should not be disclosed. In order to remove or "hide" a sensitive pattern in data sharing scenario, the data set needs to be modified such that the sensitive pattern becomes uninteresting according to the pre-specified "interestingness" threshold (s). However, data quality of the given data set should also be maintained, otherwise, the sharing will be meaningless. Existing data modification algorithms usually use data perturbation approach, i.e. changing some data values in a given data set from an original value to another value. Though, it could hide sensitive patterns and maintain data quality, such the approach could not be applied in a situation where real data are required. In this paper, we explore an alternate approach for sensitive pattern hiding problem, data reduction, i.e. removing the whole selected tuples. By data reduction, every tuple in modified data sets is real data without any change. The focused pattern type is associative classification rule. The impact on data quality is denoted as the numbers of false-dropped rules and ghost rules. The experiments are conducted to evaluate the approach and the results have shown that data reduction approach can produce data sets with high data quality, thus it is applicable to the problem.
Introduction to the log minimal model program for log canonical pairs

We describe the foundation of the log minimal model program for log canonical pairs according to Ambro's idea. We generalize Koll\'ar's vanishing and torsion-free theorems for embedded simple normal crossing pairs. Then we prove the cone and contraction theorems for quasi-log varieties, especially, for log canonical pairs.
"Sound, meaning and politics, The social construction of aircraft noise annoyance"

Humans produce sounds and they hear each other’s sound. What is seen as noise, how much noise can be tolerated and who is allowed to produce the din, is not given with the sound itself. Aircraft noise annoyance is in part a social construction. Not so long ago, aircraft sound was highly regarded. These days, it is often linked to annoyance. The meaning of aircraft sound has changed. Growing noise exposure has contributed to that. But the growth alone does not account for irritation. I assume that the way we deal with annoyance politically has contributed to a change in perception. Noise policies, social movements and regulating institutions influence the way in which we think and feel about noise and annoyance. In the political process a definition of a problem emerges and is spreads. The public will adopt it, reject it or modify it. Policy measures and institutions shape private perception as well. If Swiss citizens are allowed to vote for or against public financing of Swiss airline in a referendum, this creates a sense of control. This feeling of control inhibits part of the annoyance. If, on the other hand, neighbors of London Heathrow, Frankfurt Airport or Amsterdam Schiphol get dissatisfied with their role in the policy process, this contributes to misfeasance and annoyance. In this paper I am focusing on the political context in which aircraft noise annoyance is defined and regulated. Hopefully, this contributes to a better understanding of noise annoyance. Furthermore, it might reveal some of the reasons why current noise policies often seem so ineffective. To analyze the interplay between political context and private troubles, I will conduct a comparative study. Two neighborhoods with the same noise-exposure in the Netherlands (Amsterdam) and Switzerland (Zürich) are compared. The hypothesis is, that the difference in political context, leads to differences in the kind of problem people have. The political context also might explain why, given the same exposure, Swiss citizens seem to be less annoyed than Dutch. At this moment, data are generated. Therefore, in this paper I will focus on the conceptual framework of my research.
The ultrastructural and morphological characteristics of the anterior cruciate ligament of the pig: a study using 7.0-Tesla diffusion tensor imaging

Objective Diffusion tensor imaging research on the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is limited, and no study has revealed the ACL fibrous microstructure by 7.0-Tesla magnetic resonance imaging. Therefore, we used magnetic resonance imaging to assess the ACL. Methods Eight porcine ACLs were investigated by diffusion tensor imaging. Imaging was performed with a 7.0-Tesla scanner using a diffusion-weighted two-dimensional spin-echo echo-planar imaging pulse sequence optimised for muscle. The diffusion tensor eigenparameters, fractional anisotropy (FA), and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) were used for bones and muscles. Three-dimensional projection maps of the principal eigenvectors were plotted to visualise the microstructure. Results The mean FA and ADC for the ACL were 0.27 ± 0.079 and 0.0012 ± 0.0005, respectively. There were no significant differences between the values in the proximal and distal portions . However, the ADC was smaller in the centre than on the sides (0.0015 ± 0.0007), and the mean FA was larger in the centre than on the sides (0.42 ± 0.23). The ACL fibres were parallel on the proximal and distal sides but interweaved in the centre. Conclusions These findings may be beneficial for artificial ligaments.
