Study of Variation in Platelet Count and WBC Count in Smear of Serology Positive Malaria Patients

Malaria constitutes one of the maximum percentages of mortal diseases on earth. It is normally definite by abnormalities in many haematological indices with anaemia and thrombocytopenia being almost regular. Malaria is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. It is estimated that there are about 300–500 million new cases every year, with 1.5–2.7 million deaths worldwide. The study was conducted in population of Anand city, and district Anand of Gujarat state, India; from July 01, 2018 to Oct 31,2018. All samples were subjected to complete blood count and then blood smear (thin and thick) were made and stained with Giemsa stain. Positive for malaria parasite was finally included for species identification, white blood cell (WBC)and also for platelet count. Total 50 samples were examined for malaria. A total of 50(100%) patients were positive for malaria. Among them 30(60%) were males and 20(40%) were females. Age group of patients was between 10 to 60 years. Thrombocytopenia was observed in 35(70%) patients and 36(72%) patients showed leucopenia. In this study, 32(64%) patients were positive for Plasmodium vivax and 18(36%) patients were positive for Plasmodium falciparum. Thrombocytopenia and leucopenia had a significant correlation with the presence of malarial parasites in blood films and should be considered as an important predictor for the diagnosis of malaria.

Local image features dominate responses of AM and AF face patch neurons

The fMRI-defined face patches of the macaque inferotemporal cortex contain neurons that are known to respond more strongly for faces than for other images. Previous studies have measured the tuning of such neurons to parametrized internal facial features. Here we investigated the relative contribution of internal and contextual head, body, and background information in the anterior medial (AM) and anterior fundus (AF) face patches. We developed a stimulus paradigm in which we systematically swapped image elements to investigate the relative influence of internal facial features (eyes, mouth), external facial features, attached bodies, and background scenes. Each test stimulus was a photorealistic composite image containing a combination of the image parts, presented to each of three monkeys briefly during a passive viewing task requiring strict fixation. We recorded local populations of single neurons from AM in one monkey and from AF in two other monkeys, using chronically-implanted microwire bundles. We found that most AM neurons were strongly modulated by either internal or external facial features, but few were modulated by both. For those sensitive to internal features, variation of the upper face (eyes), but not the lower face (nose-mouth) was most important. Although no AM neurons were selective for body parts, AF neurons tended to be weakly modulated by variation in bodies. AF neurons at one recording site were predominantly sensitive to details of the external hair, but not to inner facial features. At the second AF site, neurons were primarily modulated by the lower face, with many selectively firing for an open mouth. None of the neurons in either area were strongly modulated by background scene. In sum, the parts-swapping paradigm demonstrates that face patch neurons exhibit idiosyncratic specialization for internal and contextual facial features that is to a large extent shared within a 1mm3 volume of tissue.
Top-down Influence of Global Motion Patterns on Local Motion Patterns

Purpose: During the formation of hierarchical motion patterns, the observation of global motion patterns can affect the perception of local motion patterns (Hock, Schöner, Brownlow and Taler, 2011). The purpose of this study is to determine whether global-to-local feedback is specific to areas where locally stimulated motion patterns exist within a global pattern, or whether this feedback generalizes to other spatial locations of the global pattern that are not locally stimulated. Hypothesis: If global-to-local feedback is not spatial location specific, we expect that exposure to a global motion pattern will affect the perception of a local motion that is presented at a location in the visual field that was not previously stimulated by the global motion pattern. Methods: Four motion quartets were organized into a diamond configuration to induce a global motion pattern described as global rotational rocking. After viewing the global motion pattern, participants viewed a single motion quartet which was present in one of two locations: the top portion of the previously presented diamond quartet or along the rotational arc between the top and left portion of the previously presented diamond quartet. After stimulus presentation, participants reported 1) whether they perceived rotational rocking with the four motion quartets, and 2) the direction of motion induced by the individual motion quartet that was presented after the global motion pattern. Results: For the single quartet presented after perception of rotational rocking motion, we found that participants were more likely to report motion as rotation consistent, irrespective of the location of the single motion quartet. Conclusion: Our results suggest the top-down influence of global motion patterns on local motion patterns is not spatial location specific.
Mitigating the interferences and intruders in cognitive radio networks using an authentication protocol over Reed-Solomon codes

Cognitive radio networks have emerged as a promising solution for spectrum scarcity problem. Secondary users (unlicensed users) accessing cognitive radio network suffer from continuous unintentional interference from primary users (licensed users). Also, the adversary present in the channel tries to thwart the secondary users' communication. To address these two problems, an inherent authentication protocol is defined over Reed-Solomon codes. Reed-Solomon codes with authentication protocol are used with M-ary frequency shift keying modulation technique, for transmissions over cognitive radio network. Similarly, the received message is demodulated and decoded to get the original information bits at the receiver. The performance of the proposed scheme is given in terms of bit error rate. The experimental results show that the proposed system performs better in terms of BER reduction. Also, it is shown that the proposed scheme is resistant to replay attack, man-in-the-middle and impersonation kind of attacks.

A Parallel Algorithm for Mining Non-Redundant Recurrent Rules from a Sequence Database

We propose a parallel algorithm for mining non-redundant recurrent rules from a sequence database. Recurrent rules, proposed by Lo et al. [1], can express “Whenever a series of precedent events occurs, eventually a series of consequent events occurs,” and they have shown the usefulness of recurrent rules in various domains, including software specification and verification. Although some algorithms such as NR 3 have been proposed, mining non-redundant recurrent rules still requires considerable processing time. To reduce the computation cost, we present a parallel approach to mining non-redundant recurrent rules, which fully utilizes the task-parallelism in NR 3 . We also give some experimental results, which show the effectiveness of our proposed method.
Políticas públicas de leitura e biblioteca escolar: percebendo os cenários nacional e internacional

School libraries are information units that promote reading and form the basis for users assimilate information in order to ascend socially in life. In this sense, public policies can assist for this purpose. Thus, this study aimed to verify bibliographical papers on reading and school libraries public policies in national and international scenarios. Methodologically, it was carried out a study of qualitative, bibliographic and descriptive approaches. Searches were undertaken in the Librarianship and Information Science Information Database (LISA), taking into account a search strategy using the terms: public policies, reading, school libraries and media center. The study presents a discussion between initial considerations about public policies, school libraries and book, reading and literature, in order to relate these themes and sharpen the results achieved. As a result, it was perceived that public policies for reading and school libraries in Brazil and abroad, mainly in the United States of America, are related to information, cultural, educational and health policies, as well as are to research, organizational development, services and electronic media. It is concluded that there are other perspectives on school libraries as complex information units beyond the book, reading, and literature approaches.
Flexible Malicious Accounts Detector (FMAD) for Mining Twitter Social Network using Features and Accounts Frequent Pattern

The Online Social Networks (OSN) have a great role in increasing the communication among people.Their role never stops as they have become the way to share information and the real-time news.However, their unprecedented success has also attracted the attention of hackers, who use OSN to spread spam and malicious contents.Hackers have found a good environment, which is compatible with their goals in terms of widespread reach to the largest number of victims or even spreading large propaganda in a very short time.All this can be done using OSN.The presence of spam and malicious contents on OSN may lead to people's aversion from these sites.This research tackles this phenomenon by introducing Flexible Malicious Accounts Detector (FMAD) solution, which can detect malicious and spam accounts using predefined features.Additionally, FMDA can identify newly emerging features and classify them as either normal or abnormal.Moreover, FMDA can recognize malicious accounts campaigns.Therefore, the presented solution performs better than all previous approaches that cannot deal with new emerging features.For this purpose, FMAD uses both supervised and unsupervised machine learning techniques.The experiment shows that FMAD results in accuracy reaching 99.75 %.
CONJUNCTION ERROR ANALYSIS ON INDONESIAN EFL UNIVERSITY STUDENTS’ WRITTEN COMPOSITIONS: A QUALITATIVE STUDY

It has been widely agreed that conjunction constitutes one important aspect in building cohesion. Despite the fact, the use of conjunction in both EFL and ESL students’ writings is deemed problematic. Some problems found by quantitative researchers cover misuse, overuse and underuse. Some others revealed by qualitative researchers involve misuses but with specific aspects like meaning and register. The types of errors mentioned were also found in Indonesian context. This study aims at investigating qualitatively the conjunction errors committed by Indonesian EFL university students in their written compositions. This study revealed that distraction, wrong relation and semantic incompletion are respectively the most frequently committed errors. Further research examining the major problems constituting the main cause of the error occurrences need to be conducted.
Implicit reading direction and limited-capacity letter identification

Reading this sentence was quite an accomplishment. You overcame a poor ability, possibly even a complete inability, to simultaneously identify multiple objects - according to the influential “EZ reader” model of reading, humans can identify only one word at a time. In the field of visual attention, it is known that if one must identify multiple simultaneously-presented stimuli, spatial biases may be present but are often small. Reading a sentence, by contrast, involves a highly stereotyped attentional routine with rapid but serial, or nearly serial, identification of stimuli from left to right. Unexpectedly, my lab has found evidence that this reading routine is elicited when just two widely-spaced letters are briefly presented and observers are asked to identify both letters. We find a large left-side performance advantage that is absent or reversed when the two letters are rotated to face to the left instead of to the right. Additional findings from RSVP (rapid serial visual presentation) lead us to suggest that both letters are selected by attention simultaneously, with the bottleneck at which one letter is prioritized sitting at a late stage of processing - identification or working memory consolidation. Thus, a rather minimal cue of letter orientation elicits a strong reading direction-based prioritization routine, which will allow better understanding of both the bottleneck in visual identification and how reading overcomes it.
Model Performance Metrics in Assessing the Value of Adding Intraoperative Data for Death Prediction: Applications to Noncardiac Surgery.

We tested the value of adding data from the operating room to models predicting in-hospital death. We assessed model performance using two metrics, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) and the area under the precision-recall curve (AUPRC), to illustrate the differences in information they convey in the setting of class imbalance. Data was collected on 74,147 patients who underwent major noncardiac surgery and 112 unique features were extracted from electronic health records. Sets of features were incrementally added to models using logistic regression, naïve Bayes, random forest, and gradient boosted machine methods. AUROC increased as more features were added, but changes were small for some modeling approaches. In contrast, AUPRC, which reflects positive predicted value, exhibited improvements across all models. Using AUPRC highlighted the added value of intraoperative data, not seen consistently with AUROC, and that with class imbalance AUPRC may serve as the more clinically relevant criterion.

A Logic-Inspired Approach to Reconfigurable System Modelling

Software systems have reached a level of complexity that demands new approaches to software design in order to support continuous adaptation to the changes in their internal and external environment. This implies the capability of capturing at design-time the dynamic features of systems that are composed of large numbers of interacting components in order to reduce the risks of undesirable interferences and unpredictable outcomes. The L-DReAM framework (“Light Dynamic Reconfigurable Architecture Modelling”) relies on a logic-based modelling language that is expressive enough to capture different approaches to systems coordination, reconfiguration and dynamicity. L-DReAM components have a “loose” structure that, combined with the flexibility of the adopted coordination language, results in a framework that can be used to model many different computational paradigms while offering a readable syntax easy to understand.

Is set size six really set size six? Relational coding in visual working memory.

When people are asked to remember many items in visual working memory, performance suffers. Many prominent models claim this is because some items are unrepresented, or represented extremely poorly. For example, when asked to report all 6 items from a set size 6 display, participants appear to have little or no information about the last few items they report (Adam et al. 2017). We propose that this strictly item-based approach to performance is incomplete. Rather than thinking about each item independently, we show that when there are many things to remember, people encode items relative to each other and take advantage of the structure of the display. In particular, we reanalyzed data from previous whole-report visual working memory paradigms (N=22), but rather than looking independently at performance for each item, looked at the relationship between the items people reported. In such paradigms, people have to remember 2–6 items and report all of the items in any preferred order. We find that when the set size is high (>= 4 items), people tend to report the colors that are close to the mean color of the display first, and these first responses are systematically attracted toward each other (e.g., reported closer together in color space than the items truly had been). The number of items that are grouped depends on the entropy of the display (high entropy->more grouping). Examining the last items people report on a given display also reveals they are not random responses. Instead, the later responses (including the last) are systematically repelled from the earlier ones. Thus, rather than encoding items independently, memoranda are compressed by combining and separating items in relation to each other. Overall, we show that no memorandum is an island and each response reflects how that item fits into the whole picture.
Top-down control of spatial memory visualization in early visual cortex

Introduction. To analyze mechanisms of visual working memory and learning, we compared the brain networks involved in the processes of direct visual study, and (open-eyes) visualization from immediate memory, using previously unfamiliar material in a novel procedure to enhance memory representations. Methods. Functional MRI was run while complex spatial structures in the form of line-drawings were alternately i) visually explored to be learned, and ii) mentally visualized on a blank screen in a repeated sequence to maximize the accuracy of the memory trace. The viewing and visualization blocks were 30 s each, separated by 20 s rest periods, and repeated 3 times in each trial. The brain imaging session was followed by testing for comprehension and by direct readout of the memory trace through memory-guided drawing of the learned images. Results & Conclusions. The first response site of particular interest was the primary visual cortex (V1), which our previous studies in the blind have implicated as the neural implementation - in a supramodal form – of the ‘spatial sketchpad’ for working memory (Likova, 2012, 2013). V1 was subdivided into foveal, parafoveal, mid- and far-peripheral regions. Remarkably, direct viewing and memory visualization equally activated the mid- and far-periphery regions, whereas in the parafoveal representation the visualization signal dropped to about half of that for direct viewing, and even rapidly inverted into strong suppression throughout the extrastriate foveal confluence. Conversely, the classical visual hierarchy beyond V1 was not involved. Granger causal connectivity analysis was used to disentangle the interregional interactions within the activated networks and to provide deeper insights into cortical mechanisms of visualization from memory and its involvement in learning, including top-down causal influences to the V1-subdivisions and foveal confluence from hippocampal, parietal and frontal regions.

Many people assume that learning languages is easy because they think we have used language every day. Learning languages is not only able to communicate with the language, but also to know and understand the meaning contained in the words or phrases spoken. In learning languages, especially English, most students experience difficulties in speaking skill. The difficulty is usually caused by difficulties in expressing ideas verbally, limited vocabulary, limited grammar ability so that it is difficult to speak with the correct rules, limited ability to pronounce words (pronunciation) correctly. These result inthe students’ difficulties to pronounce the words correctly and lack of courage to speak because they are afraid of making mistakes. There are several effective ways to improve students’ speaking skill, namely increasing vocabulary, reading aloud, recognizing simple English grammar, reading English writing, practising English conversation, listening to English songs, watching Englishmovies, andbeing fond of English. This paper also discusses the method of teaching using role play and media of picture strip stories to improve students' English speaking skill.
