Investigation of Communication Type and Individual Characteristics : A Longitudinal HRS Analysis

Abstract Older adults are at increased risk for loneliness/isolation, particularly with new COVID-19 recommendations; however, communication may help mitigate these negative perceptions. Reductions in loneliness/isolation may also significantly improve quality of life and well-being for vulnerable populations. Thus, the purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships between communication, individual characteristics, and time, to provide a clearer understanding of communication patterns in a longitudinal cohort. Participants (N=2351) with no missing data on any variables of interest (across time-points) were pulled from the Health and Retirement Study’s Consumption and Activity’s Mail Survey (waves collected: 2013, 2015, 2017). When last reported (2016/17), respondents were an average age of 70.14(SD=9.9), were generally female (63.0%) and white (75.7%). Analyses included longitudinal investigation, normality tests, and regression. Assumptions were violated in ANOVA; results of a Kruskal-Wallis test revealed that there were no significant changes in the distribution of in-person or distanced communication across the three waves. Individual responses were then averaged and standardized across waves (per participant for each outcome variable). In-person communication regression results reveal that being female positively predicted in-person conversation volume (B=0.23,p&amp;lt;.001) as did increasing number of years in school (B=0.03,p&amp;lt;.001), while being non-white negatively predicted in-person conversation (B=-0.301,p&amp;lt;.001). Distanced communication regression results reveal being female positively predicted volume of distanced communication (B=0.381,p&amp;lt;.001); however, being non-white and younger positively predicted increased volume of distanced communication (B=0.241,p&amp;lt;.001; B=0.005,p&amp;lt;.001, respectively). Given the varied communication patterns, future research should consider explanatory mechanisms in addition to investigating changes as a result of the ongoing pandemic.
Attention-Based Graph Convolutional Network for Zero-Shot Learning with Pre-Training

Zero-shot learning (ZSL) is a powerful and promising learning paradigm for classifying instances that have not been seen in training. Although graph convolutional networks (GCNs) have recently shown great potential for the ZSL tasks, these models cannot adjust the constant connection weights between the nodes in knowledge graph and the neighbor nodes contribute equally to classify the central node. In this study, we apply an attention mechanism to adjust the connection weights adaptively to learn more important information for classifying unseen target nodes. First, we propose an attention graph convolutional network for zero-shot learning (AGCNZ) by integrating the attention mechanism and GCN directly. Then, in order to prevent the dilution of knowledge from distant nodes, we apply the dense graph propagation (DGP) model for the ZSL tasks and propose an attention dense graph propagation model for zero-shot learning (ADGPZ). Finally, we propose a modified loss function with a relaxation factor to further improve the performance of the learned classifier. Experimental results under different pre-training settings verified the effectiveness of the proposed attention-based models for ZSL.
Gli usi dell’articolo e del pro-aggettivo in alcuni tipi di sintagmi nominali italiani a confronto con lo sloveno

The article focuses on the relationship between postmodifiers in the form of noun phrases, relative and content clauses, and the use of articles or pro-adjectives in the nominal heads. The results of a qualitative analysis of Slovene and Italian texts and their translations into Italian and Slovene are presented, the main purpose of which was to identify markers of definiteness in Slovene and to predict the use of articles in Italian, thus showing the possibilities for Slovenes to express themselves appropriately in Italian. Assuming that definiteness is a universal category and therefore recognisable also in languages without articles (Slovene), and considering the author and the translator ideal speakers of Slovene and/or Italian, the Slovene texts served as the starting point of each analysis, while the Italian texts played the role of control. An article use is defined as cataphoric if the content of the postmodifier contributes to the definite interpretation of its head. Subordinate noun phrases can be divided into conceptual and argumentative. In Italian, the former, expressing a non-entity, are marked by a zero article and form a semantic unit with their heads, whereas the latter, expressing an entity, are marked by an article (included the zero one) and do not form a semantic unit with their heads. Related to definiteness is the restrictiveness of the clause, which consists in the article or pro-adjective determining the head including its postmodifier. Such heads can be both definite or indefinite. The analyses have shown instances of relative clauses that are placed between restrictive and non-restrictive ones. Conveying descriptive information, they occur after the heads preceded by an indefinite article. The definiteness of nominal heads preceded by a pro-adjective or without a determiner in Slovene texts is also discussed.

Resistive properties of Janson’s point contacts in the conditions of polarization inversion

The sensitive element of a new quantum sensor generation is the Janson dendritic point contact. Analytes that are in the space surrounding the sensitive element are able to interact with the freshly formed surface of the conduction channel of the Janson quantum point contact, as well as with the surface of the dendrite during its growth. This interaction provides the influence of the substances under study on the configuration of the output characteristic of the sensor, represented by the system conductivity histogram. The conductivity histogram is built on the basis of the chrono-resistogram of the self-oscillating point-contact cyclic switchover effect, which is directly recorded under self-oscillation conditions. In the structure of the sensor element, Janson's dendritic point contact is immersed in an electrolyte and in an electric field forms a chrono-resistogram, which depends on the environment composition. The paper considers one of the aspects of such chrono-resistograms formation. The features of a gapless electrochemical system in the process of realizing the point-contact cyclic switchover effect are analyzed. Modeling the sensitive element in the form of a gapless electrode system allowed explaining the mechanism and dynamics of the transition “Janson point contact – dendrite and counter electrode in the electrolyte”. The most important parameter of the gapless electrode system is the coordinate of the polarization inversion boundary. It is shown that the idea of the coordinate of the polarization inversion boundary plays a fundamental role in modeling the resistive properties of a point-contact system and its lifetime. The synthesized mathematical models describe well the experimentally obtained dependences of the resistance on the exposure time of the nanostructure in an electric field. It was found that the dependence of the contact resistance on the exposure time, obtained under the assumption of a linear distribution of the anodic polarization along the main axis of the conduction channel, is described by a differential equation in which the growth rate of resistance is directly proportional to the cube of this resistance. The materials obtained make it possible to purposefully optimize the design parameters and operating conditions of sensor devices based on Janson point contacts for the analysis of complex gaseous and liquid mixtures.

HaptWarp: Implementation of Bend, Twist, and Press Manipulations for Intuitive Interaction in between the Virtual and Physical World

In virtual reality applications, such as games and training, the use of two-handed controllers to interact with virtual objects is usually supported.To reproduce the interactive sensation of holding objects of various shapes and behaviors with both hands, previous researchers have used mechanical connections or set various peripheral brakes between controllers to simulate physical changes.However, these external devices are hard to quickly adapt to for the simulation of dynamic objects, nor can they be removed to support free manipulations.This research introduces Deformation Response virtual reality Glove, which is a pair of sensor gloves.There is no physical link and users can stretch, bend, or twist flexible materials and display physical deformations on virtual objects, allowing users to perceive the difference between haptic sensation and physical sensation simply by using their hands.

Contrastive Analysis on French and Malay Language Prepositions

The learning of French as a foreign language (FL) demands the student to master writing and speaking skills well.The mastery of basic French grammar is highly helpful to develop these skills.This research is limited to the comparison of French preceding preposition of location for "di" with Malay Language (BM) in writing simple French sentences.Research methodology is conducted by document analysis research.Research respondents comprises of 50 French 1 (WFD10101) students from University Kuala Lumpur Malaysia France Institute (UniKL MFI).The research locale is UniKL MFI.The research findings are analysed descriptively.The researcher uses Lado's Contrastive Analysis Theory (1957) to discern the similarities and differences between the preceding preposition of location for "di" in French and BM.The research instruments are the essays from the French 1 tests and questionnaires.The research findings showed that the comprehension on the similarities and differences of French and BM helped respondents in writing simple French sentences.The similarities aided the respondents in building sentences, while the differences confused the respondents when choosing the correct preposition.There are various different French prepositions for "di" if the place stated is a country.There are three prepositions for country in French, namely "en", "au", or "aux" which are differentiated by the gender factor whether the country is feminine, masculine, or in plural form.Meanwhile the French equivalent of the preposition "di" is the preposition "à".This preposition is written before the proper noun of a place such as cities, villages, and islands.The respondents performed errors when choosing prepositions due to the range of French prepositions.In summary, this comparison research hopes to benefit educators and students alike for French as a FL in Malaysia.
Design of Socioenactive Systems Based on Physiological Sensors and Robot Behavior in Educational Environments

Computational systems based on ubiquitous and pervasive technology present several challenges related to the interaction of people with scenarios constituted by sensors and actuators, changing the mindset of what we used to understand as interaction with a computer. This also has influence in the ways of considering the design of systems based on contemporary technology for the educational context. To cope with the challenges of ubiquitous computing, the concept of socioenactive system is being constructed as a system in which human and technological aspects are coupled together in a cycle of perceptually guided actions of people interacting with elements of the physical environment and with other people in the same scenario. In this work we address the design of a socioenactive system as an evolution of two previous systems designed and experimented with 5-year-old children in an educational context. The contribution of this paper is twofold: 1. We present an analysis of two different systems tested in educational scenarios, pointing out the lack of elements that should be present in a complete cycle of socioenactive systems, suggesting requirements for a third system; 2. We present an architecture for the third system and a simulation of its usage. Results of the third system and its simulation inform the next activities of bringing it to real life in a practice proposed for the same audience and context as the previous systems.
