Savanas podem se Transformar Funcionalmente em Florestas na Transição Amazônia/Cerrado
Authors: Xavier Valadão Marco Bruno , Silva Carneiro Karla Monique , Hur Marimon Junior Ben , Piontekowski Ribeiro Fabiana , Schwantes Marimon Beatriz
Published: August 2021

As formações florestais adjacentes são zonas de ecótono que podem revelar mudanças na estrutura vertical de biomas tropicais, por exemplo, no Cerrado brasileiro. A produção de serapilheira é uma métrica que reflete essas alterações. Dessa maneira, investigamos os principais aspectos funcionais do Cerradão e Cerrado adjacentes na transição Amazônia/Cerrado. Avaliamos a camada de serapilheira, decomposição foliar e malha radicular com o objetivo de verificar até que ponto esses parâmetros estão relacionados ao funcionamento do ecossistema das duas formações distintas, floresta e savana. O sistema integrado de serapilheira/malha radicular é a principal pré-condição para o funcionamento do ecossistema e o equilíbrio trófico de florestas tropicais em solos distróficos. A camada de serapilheira, a malha radicular e as taxas de decomposição foliar foram semelhantes em ambos nos ecossistemas, incluindo a liberação de carbono da camada de serapilheira, apesar das diferenças florísticas e estruturais das vegetações. Essas semelhanças indicam uma densificação do cerrado adjacente com uma pré-estruturação do funcionamento de um ecossistema tipo floresta, principalmente devido à exclusão do fogo. Isso sugere que os ecossistemas de savana em solos distróficos de transição Amazônia/Cerrado apresentam alto potencial para estabelecer condições funcionais tróficas para sustentar uma comunidade florestal na ausência de fogo e mudanças climáticas. Contanto que o clima atual não mude para condições mais secas e quentes (por exemplo, aumento das anomalias do El Niño), a sucessão ecológica pode ser desencadeada e as savanas podem se transformar funcionalmente em florestas, com um aumento nos estoques de carbono do ecossistema.

Published: August 2021

Cyperus articulatus (Cyperaceae) é uma planta cujo tubérculo é utilizado na Amazônia para banhos de cheiro e perfumes caseiros. O óleo essencial (OE) da planta é empregado na perfumaria fina. A região do oeste do estado do Pará tem clima, terra e meios apropriados para o cultivo. Assim, o objetivo do trabalho foi a produção sustentável de  C. articulatus em comunidades locais, estabelecendo as bases de experimentos agronômicos para obtenção de parâmetros mínimos de um cultivo comercial. Foram instalados os experimentos Tabocal I e II (área de produtores) e Belterra (área da EMBRAPA). Optou-se por utilizar áreas agrícolas degradadas e analisar os fatores edafoclimáticos da região, obtendo-se coeficientes técnicos de produção aos 9 e 12 meses de cultivo. Aos 12 meses de cultivo, as melhores produções de tubérculos frescos de priprioca foram obtidas em Belterra 7,66t ha-Å, Tabocal I 11,20t ha-Å e Tabocal II 22,09t ha-Å. Os custos de produção por hectare foram estabelecidos para Belterra em R$ 12.410,00, Tabocal I em R$ 15.740,00 e Tabocal II em R$ 12.460,00. O lucro da produção de tubérculos para Belterra foi de R$ 1.910,00, Tabocal I com R$ 6.660,00 e Tabocal II com R$ 31.734,00. Foram estabelecidos parâmetros da extração e análise cromatográfica do óleo essencial dos tubérculosde priprioca em escala laboratorial, piloto e industrial. O rendimento médio no extrator piloto foi de 0,35%, Clevenger igual a 0,56%, e o industrial em 0,45%. A análise do OE por Cromatografia de Gás acoplada à espectrometria de Massas (GC-MS) é discutida com base nas características dos experimentos. O perfil químico mostra terpenos característicos da espécie, como a mustacona, com variações de concentrações sujeitas aos fatores edafoclimáticos. A comercialização do OE praticada a US$ 500/kg mostra-se como uma nova alternativa econômica para a região.

Repositioning Pan-Africanism for Human Security in the 21st Century
Authors: Ikeke Mark Omorovie
Published: August 2021

Africa in the 21st century is still troubled by myriads of problems. These problems include neo-colonialism, modern slavery, ethnicism, racism, xenophobic attacks, environmental degradation, human trafficking, sexual exploitation, war, famine, terrorism, conflicts, etc. All these problems gravely impede human security. Human security is more than military or national security and refers to all that constitutes the good life and makes life more abundant for the people. Human securities include the access to food, portable water, education, good environment, human rights, etc. Resolving and combating these problems will require concerted efforts on the part of many if not all African nations in the continent and Diaspora. Some of these problems cut across national boundaries. Problems like terrorism, illegal migration, human trafficking, sexual exploitation, xenophobic attacks, etc cut across national borders. Though Pan-Africanism may have waned in strength it can be repositioned to harness African cultural and historic values to combat its contemporary problems in the 21st century. A hermeneutic method will be used to interpret the meaning and import of Pan-Africanism and human security. A critical analytic method will be used to discuss the issues. The paper finds and concludes that Pan-Africanism can be re-positioned to enable Africa combat the problems facing her.

Published: August 2021

Stochastic Moore automata have in opposition to stochastic Mealy automata the same capabilities as general stochastic automata, but have the advantage that they are easier to access than their pure stochastic counterparts. Cascade decomposition of automata leads to a loop-free partitioning and in this way contributes to the analysis of automata. This paper shows that stochastic Moore automata can be decomposed into cascade products of stochastic Moore automata under mild conditions

Hydroxykenopyrochlore, (□,Ce,Ba)2(Nb,Ti)2O6(OH,F), occurs in a weathered Nb-ore from alkaline-carbonatite complexes and pegmatites of the Brazilian shield mined by Compania Brasileira de Metalurgia e Mineração (CBMM), Araxá, Minas Gerais, Brazil. The mineral is a product of alkali metasomatism. It occurs as parts of granular grains up to 0.1 mm in size in association with Ba-bearing hydrokenopyrochlore. Hydroxykenopyrochlore is lemon yellow to yellow in color, non-fluorescent, and brittle. The hardness is 4½ on the Mohs scale. The calculated density is 4.36 g/cm3. It is cubic, Fd–3m, with cell parameters a 10.590(5) Å, V = 1187.6(10) Å3, and Z = 2. The strongest seven lines in the powder XRD pattern [d in Å (I/I0) hkl] are 6.06 (49) 111, 3.18 (27) 311, 3.05 (100) 222, 2.64 (29) 400, 1.870 (56) 440, 1.594 (50) 622, 1.213 (15) 662, and 1.182 (13) 840.

The Kræmer Ø syenite, Kangerdlugssuaq: preliminary description of one of the voluminous oversaturated syenites of the East Greenland Tertiary
Authors: Brooks C. K.
Published: August 2021

Tue Kræmer Ø syenite, situated close to the Skaergaard intrusion, is typical of many oversturated syenites in the area. It consists of a maginal breccia with a sharp contact to the surrounding gneisses. This breccia, about 150 m wide is made up of basaltic clasts in a granitic matrix. It is associated with pegmatites, aplites and granophyres, all with a non-peralkaline characters. Tue main part of the syenite is a coarse-grained, massively jointed body with many large basic xenoliths and occasional modal layering. It is associated with peralkaline rhyolitic dikes and pegmatites. Anatexis of basement and crystal differentiation from a basaltic magma are thought to be unlikely processes to explain the origin of the syenites although the breccia matrix appears to be a simple partial melt of the gneisses. It is postulated thai such an anatectic melt, formed by heat transfer from basaltic magmas, becomes modified by diffusive interchange with the basaltic melt to generate the syenite in the way described for a nearby locality by Nielsen & Brooks (1988).
Reworked Carboniferous palynomorphs from the Lower Jurassic of Bornholm and their palaeogeographic significance.
Authors: Nielsen Lars Henrik , Koppelhus Eva B.
Published: August 2021

Reworked Carboniferous palynomorphs are found in the Lower Jurassic Rønne Formation on Bornholm. Carboniferous sediments are unknown in the Jurassic provenance areas, which were the Fennoscandian Shield and local highs in the Bornholm area. Their presence is thus of importance to interpretations of Carboniferous palaeogeography.
The northern-limit of proven Carboniferous sediments mainly follows the southern margin of the Ringkøbing-Fyn Arkona High. However, structural evidence suggests that this limit is attributed to post-depositional uplift, faulting and erosion. The reworked palynomorphs indicate thai Carboniferous sediments were originally deposited north of their present area of distribution. Down-faulting related to Permo-Carboniferous extension led to the preservation of Carboniferous deposits until uplift made the deposits available for erosion during the Late Triassic and Jurassic.
The effect of spatial distance between objects on categorization level
Authors: Schneider Iris K. , Mattes André
Published: August 2021

We show that spatial distance between two objects influences how people categorize these objects. We report three (two pre-registered) experiments that show that when objects are presented close together (proximal), they are more likely to be categorized in a superordinate category than when they are presented further apart (distant). In Experiments 1A and 1B, participants provided spontaneous category labels in an open response format. In Experiment 2, we asked participants to indicate their preference for either of two category labels. We found that when objects were close together, they were categorized more often into superordinate categories than when objects were far apart (Experiments 1A and 2). Our findings demonstrate that the categorization of objects is, in part, determined by where they are in relation to other objects.
Change not State: Perceptual coupling in multistable displays reflects transient bias induced by perceptual change
Authors: Pastukhov Alexander , Carbon Claus-Christian
Published: August 2021

We investigated how changes in dynamic spatial context influence visual perception. Specifically, we reexamined the perceptual coupling phenomenon when two multistable displays viewed simultaneously tend to be in the same dominant state and switch in accord. Current models assume this interaction reflecting mutual bias produced by a dominant perceptual state. In contrast, we demonstrate that influence of spatial context is strongest when perception changes. First, we replicated earlier work using bistable kinetic-depth effect displays, then extended it by employing asynchronous presentation to show that perceptual coupling cannot be accounted for by the static context provided by perceptually dominant states. Next, we demonstrated that perceptual coupling reflects transient bias induced by perceptual change, both in ambiguous and disambiguated displays. We used a hierarchical Bayesian model to characterize its timing, demonstrating that the transient bias is induced 50–70 ms after the exogenous trigger event and decays within ~200–300 ms. Both endogenous and exogenous switches led to quantitatively and qualitatively similar perceptual consequences, activating similar perceptual reevaluation mechanisms within a spatial surround. We explain how they can be understood within a transient selective visual attention framework or using local lateral connections within sensory representations. We suggest that observed perceptual effects reflect general mechanisms of perceptual inference for dynamic visual scene perception.
A tutorial on capturing mental representations through drawing and crowd-sourced scoring
Authors: Bainbridge Wilma A.
Published: August 2021

When we draw, we are depicting a rich mental representation reflecting a memory, percept, schema, imagination, or feeling. In spite of the abundance of data created by drawings, drawings are rarely used as an output measure in the field of psychology, due to concerns about their large variance and their difficulty of quantification. However, recent work leveraging pen-tracking, computer vision, and online crowd-sourcing has revealed new ways to capture and objectively quantify drawings, to answer a wide range of questions across fields of psychology. Here, I present a tutorial on modern methods for drawing experiments, ranging from how to quantify pen-and-paper type studies, up to how to administer a fully closed-loop online experiment. I go through the concrete steps of designing a drawing experiment, recording drawings, and objectively quantifying them through online crowd-sourcing and computer vision methods. Included with this tutorial are code examples at different levels of complexity and tutorials designed to teach basic lessons about web architecture and be useful regardless of skill level. I also discuss key methodological points of consideration, and provide a series of potential jumping points for drawing studies across fields in psychology. I hope this tutorial will arm more researchers with the skills to capture these naturalistic snapshots of a mental image.

Was ist die geometrische Botschaft eines Vektorausdrucks
Authors: Román Erika
Published: August 2021

In diesem Artikel stellen wir eine ungarische Tradition vor, indem die synthetische Elementargeometrie mit der analytischen Vektorgeometrie kombiniert wird. Wir wollen diese Methode auf das transkarpatische Talentmanagement übertragen. Unser Fokus liegt darauf, wie sich synthetische und vektorielle (analytische) Geometrie bei dem Problemlösen gegenseitig helfen. Wir weisen darauf hin, wie viel einfacher es ist, ein komplexes Problem zu lösen, wenn wir mit beiden Vorgehensweisen vertraut sind und die Methoden parallel behandeln können. Wir untersuchen je eine Reihe von synthetischen und analytischen Problemen. Durch parallele Behandlung und kontinuierlichen Vergleich der Stationen der beiden Wege entdecken wir, wie aus diesen ein einzelner Problemcluster organisiert werden kann. Die ausgewählten Aufgaben stammen aus dem Erbe von István Reiman und Katalin Horvay aus der zweibändigen Geometrie-Aufgabensammlung (Horvay et al. 2002). Die professionelle Qualität der Aufgabensammlung zeigt, dass István Reiman das ungarische Team über viele Jahre erfolgreich auf die Internationale Mathematikolympiade vorbereitet hat.

ON THE ISSUE OF THE BLANKET METHOD OF CONSTRUCTING CRIMINAL LAW PROHIBITIONS (BASED ON PROVISIONS OF SECTION VII OF THE SPECIAL PART OF THE CRIMINAL CODE OF UKRAINE)
Authors: Kamensky Dmytro
Published: August 2021

The article examines the blanket method for describing dispositions of criminal law prohibitions, in particular, the norms of Section VII of the Special Part of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. It has been established that when using blanket dispositions, the content of a criminal act is determined both by the law on criminal liability and by the norms of other branches of law; at the same time, such dispositions do not replace criminal law provisions, while performing in such cases auxiliary, clarifying function. It is determined that the blanket way of describing economic articles of criminal legislation is due to the special meaning of a criminal prohibition, which protects the economy as a regulator of relations by non-criminal legal acts.

In the norms of the Criminal Code of Ukraine on economic crimes considered in the article, the domestic legislator pragmatically concretized the semantic links between the norm of the criminal and special regulatory law, which should be taken positively. It was established that in this way, firstly, the limits of the volume of unlawful behavior are clearly established, beyond which the representatives of law enforcement practice are strictly prohibited from going out during the criminal-legal assessment of the deed. At the same time, here, to a certain extent, the work of the law enforcement officer is facilitated, since normative acts of a non-criminal direction have been concretized, which should be relied upon in the investigation and further judicial proceedings. Secondly, such a normatively specific approach to the construction of criminal law prohibitions obviously contributes to the unification and simplification of approaches to socially dangerous acts in the economic sphere. It shows that the state does not need numerous laws and regulations, which are textually, chronologically and legally distorted.

It has been established defined that the reform of the object and system of norms on crimes against the order of economic activity should have as its main task the careful development of specific criminal law norms in order to create the cross-sectoral mechanism of legal regulation.

Key words: blanket disposition, economic crime, legal act, disposition, regulatory law.

A comprehensive annotated checklist of the ladybeetle species of Portugal, including the Azores and Madeira archipelagos, is presented. The Coccinellidae fauna comprises a total of 101 species: 83 from the Mainland, 39 from Madeira, and 32 from the Azores. The listed species are distributed among 2 sub-families and 13 tribes: within the subfamily Microweiseinae, Madeirodulini (1 species), Serangiini (2 species), and within the subfamily Coccinellinae, Azyini (1 species), Chilocorini (4 species), Coccidulini (7 species), Coccinellini (30 species), Epilachnini (4 species), Hyperaspidini (7 species), Noviini (2 species), Platynaspini (1 species), Scymnini (37 species), Stethorini (3 species), and Sticholotidini (2 species). The Portuguese fauna comprises 10 exotic species: 5 present in the Mainland, 7 in Madeira, and 6 in the Azores. Harmonia axyridis (Pallas, 1773) from Madeira, Propylea quatuordecimpunctata (Linnaeus, 1758) from the Azores, Delphastus catalinae (Horn, 1895) from the Azores and Madeira, Nephus (Geminosipho) reunioni (Fürsch, 1974) and Nephus (Nephus) voeltzkowi Weise, 1910 from Madeira and Microserangium sp. from the Mainland, are reported for the first time. Some species are considered doubtful records, as explained in the text. These results were obtained by compiling information on the available literature regarding ladybeetle species on the Portuguese mainland and insular territories, and original data.
Contribution to the knowledge of the bee fauna (Hymenoptera, Apoidea, Anthophila) in Serbia
Authors: Mudri-Stojnić Sonja , Andrić Andrijana , Markov-Ristić Zlata , Đukić Aleksandar , Vujić Ante
Published: August 2021

The current work represents summarised data on the bee fauna in Serbia from previous publications, collections, and field data in the period from 1890 to 2020. A total of 706 species from all six of the globally widespread bee families is recorded; of the total number of recorded species, 314 have been confirmed by determination, while 392 species are from published data. Fourteen species, collected in the last three years, are the first published records of these taxa from Serbia: Andrena barbareae (Panzer, 1805), A. clarkella (Kirby, 1802), A. fulvicornis (Schenck, 1853), A. intermedia (Thomson, 1870), A. lapponica (Zetterstedt, 1838), A. pandellei (Pérez, 1895), A. paucisquama (Noskiewicz, 1924), A. simillima (Smith, 1851), Panurginus herzi (Morawitz, 1892), Epeoloides coecutiens (Fabricius, 1775), Nomada leucophthalma (Kirby, 1802), Chelostoma nasutum (Pérez, 1895), Hoplitis claviventris (Thomson, 1872), and Dasypoda pyrotrichia (Förster, 1855). Almost all the species recorded so far in Serbia belong to the West-Palaearctic biogeographical region, except Megachile sculpturalis (Smith, 1853), which is an alien invasive species native to East Asia. According to the European Red List of bees, 221 species listed in this paper were assessed as Data Deficient; threatened species mostly belong to the families Apidae with 13 species, Colletidae with eight species, and Halictidae with five species. This study contributes to the knowledge of the distribution of bee species in Europe. The present work provides a baseline for future research of wild bee diversity in Serbia and neighbouring regions at the local and regional levels, and a basis for their conservation.

Stent Flange-Induced Esophageal Stricture Treated with an Oral Steroid
Authors: Seo Junyoung , Park Ju Sang
Published: August 2021

Esophageal stent complications include stent migration, tumor ingrowth, perforation, a broncho-esophageal fistula, and gastroesophageal reflux. Development of a new stricture at a flange site after stent removal has been predicted but not yet reported. We experienced the first case of a recurrent esophageal stricture induced by a stent flange after stent removal. A fully covered metallic stent, which had been inserted 2 months ago for treatment of an anastomotic stricture, triggered another stricture at the flange site. Although endoscopic balloon dilatations were repeated several times and then the 2nd stent for rescue therapy was inserted, the stricture was refractory to all treatment. Thus, we prescribed oral prednisolone with repeated endoscopic balloon dilation; the stricture eventually improved. The oral steroid seemed to suppress stricture development. If a stent flange-induced refractory stricture is encountered, an oral steroid combined with endoscopic balloon dilation may be helpful.

Nouveaux modes de vie, montée de l’individualisme et du consumérisme, développement d’une société inclusive et promotion du concept de participation, vieillissement de la population et problématique de la dépendance, évolution des formes de pauvreté, complexification des besoins sociaux, évolution des familles, flux migratoires, enjeux climatiques, apogée du numérique, nouveau rapport au travail, transformation des formes d’engagement, nouvelles interventions sociales, rapport différent à la vulnérabilité et au handicap en particulier…, autant d’évolutions qui impactent la façon de penser, concevoir et mettre en œuvre des accompagnements en direction de personnes en situation de vulnérabilité, temporaire ou durable. Ces dernières sont considérées de plus en plus comme des sujets en capacité d’agir et détenant une expertise d’usage issue de leur vécu. Elles-mêmes ou leurs familles le revendiquent d’ailleurs. Les modalités de « faire travail social », beaucoup basées sur des logiques assistantielles et de domination, que les politiques publiques favorisent, doivent donc évoluer. Sans remettre en question des décennies d’accompagnements qui répondaient à des préoccupations sociales dans un contexte donné, le travail social doit prendre en compte un nouveau paradigme : l’exercice du pouvoir d’agir des personnes et la reconnaissance comme la prise en compte de leurs savoirs expérientiels. Identifier soi-même son problème, activer les ressources de son environnement, confronter son expérience de vie avec des pairs, participent de ce paradigme. Celui-ci n’est cependant pas sans poser un certain nombre de questions ni faire émerger des écueils, de l’injonction à agir au désengagement des politiques publiques, jusqu’au maintien de relations asymétriques entre accompagné et accompagnant. Son développement nécessite une réflexion et le partage de conditions préalables à sa mise en œuvre.
Un autre regard sur les personnes en situation de vulnérabilité
Authors: Kloeditz Sandrine
Published: August 2021

Notre éducation, l’environnement qui nous est proposé, la confiance qui nous est accordée, construisent nos choix de vie. Pourquoi en serait-il différemment pour les personnes vulnérables et dans cet article plus particulièrement, pour les personnes en situation de handicap ? Qu’est-ce qui nous a construit pour être acteur de nos vies, si ce n’est le regard de l’autre valorisant nos compétences, contribuant à une meilleure estime de nous-mêmes ? Rien de révolutionnaire si ce n’est de considérer toute personne dans sa singularité et dans une reconnaissance de sa place dans notre société.
Language Ideologies of Nepali People in YouTube Interactions
Authors: Acharya Goma
Published: August 2021

This chapter investigates how Nepali people demonstrate colonized thinking in their responses to a speech by a former Minister of State for Health and Population. Nepali people seem to be influenced by standard language ideology. Therefore, this chapter argues that Nepali people should come out of their colonized thinking, which adheres to standard language ideology. They should rather embrace translingualism in order to appreciate their own cultural and linguistic heritage when communicating in English.
Dynamics of Translanguaging
Authors: Kafle Madhav P.
Published: August 2021

Many pedagogical studies on composition as well as programmatic and curricular structures tend to take for granted the fact that people fall either in the camp of monolingualism or multilingualism. Building on Horner, Lu, Royster, and Trimbur's translingual approach, which calls for a pedagogy that reflects the reality of language use, this chapter highlights how the concept of a linguistic continuum better serves us than that of the two diametrically opposite poles of monolingualism and multilingualism. Often, native English speakers are perceived as monolinguals and non-native English speakers as multilinguals. Reporting on a literacy narrative of a so–called native English speaker, whom the author calls Chrissie, the author seeks to illustrate how such a simple dichotomy is reductive and has negative consequences for acquiring literacies and potentially appreciating linguistic differences. Thus, this chapter has serious implications for the teaching of writing in particular, and pedagogy in general.
Twin Contributors to the Physiology of Ambulatory Wellbeing and Falls Prevention in Ageing Populations
Authors: Hayes Catherine
Published: August 2021

Being able to theoretically underpin the gerontology of ageing is a fundamental part of designing and constructing bespoke research and care interventions for the exploration of fall prevention in practice. Within the context of home care and community-based settings being able to integrate fall prevention into the integrated care that older people receive, their ambulation, health, and wellbeing, and subsequently their longevity in senior years, can be extended and sustained in terms of quality and satisfaction. This chapter contextualises and frames falls and fall injuries as a societal challenge by deconstructing the characteristic physiological processes of senescence and identifying key areas for fundamental address in the prevention of falls ‘in situ'. The chapter's focus is predominantly aligned to those processes of natural senescence aligned with normal ageing processes, alongside those pathologies which constitute abnormal pathological processes, which occur more often in older adults as a consequence of these processes of senescence.
Effects of Spaceflight, Aging, and Bedrest on Falls
Authors: Goswami Nandu
Published: August 2021

With the increasing proportion of older persons globally, healthcare issues are becoming more complex. Older persons often spend substantial time confined to bed, which leads to physiological deconditioning and increased risk of falls. Fall-related injuries lead to higher hospitalization costs and worsening of the quality of life of older persons. Thus, monitoring of falls and reducing the risk of falls is an increasingly important element of geriatric care. Examined in this chapter will be aspects related to falls induced by immobilization (bedrest confinement). Interestingly, spaceflight-induced physiological deconditioning predisposes astronauts to higher risk of orthostatic intolerance and, consequently, falls. Since bedrest confinement is an established model for studying the deconditioning effects of spaceflight, knowledge drawn from bedrest studies can provide insights into the underlying mechanisms leading to falls in astronauts and in bed confined patients and in particular in bed-confined older persons who are typically dealing with the deconditioning effects of aging.
Role of Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) to Combat Pandemic COVID-19
Authors: Jain Arti , Kushwah Rashmi , Swaroop Abhishek , Yadav Arun
Published: August 2021

COVID-19 is caused by virus called SARS-CoV-2, which was declared by the WHO as global pandemic. Since the outbreak, there has been a rush to explore Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT) for diagnosing, predicting, and treating infections. At present, individual technologies, AI and IoT, play important roles yet do not impact individually against the pandemic because of constraints like lack of historical data and the existence of biased, noisy, and outlier data. To overcome, balance among data privacy, public health, and human-AI-IoT interaction is must. Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT) appears to be a more efficient technological solution that can play a significant role to control COVID-19. IoT devices produce huge data which are gathered and mined for actionable effects in AI. AI converts data into useful results which are utilized by IoT devices. AIoT entails AI through machine learning and decision making to IoT and renovates IoT to add data exchange and analytics to AI. In this chapter, AIoT will serve as a potential analytical tool to fight against the pandemic.
Predictive Modeling for Classification of Breast Cancer Dataset Using Feature Selection Techniques
Authors: S. Leena Nesamani , Rajini S. Nirmala Sigirtha
Published: August 2021

Predictive modeling or predict analysis is the process of trying to predict the outcome from data using machine learning models. The quality of the output predominantly depends on the quality of the data that is provided to the model. The process of selecting the best choice of input to a machine learning model depends on a variety of criteria and is referred to as feature engineering. The work is conducted to classify the breast cancer patients into either the recurrence or non-recurrence category. A categorical breast cancer dataset is used in this work from which the best set of features is selected to make accurate predictions. Two feature selection techniques, namely the chi-squared technique and the mutual information technique, have been used. The selected features were then used by the logistic regression model to make the final prediction. It was identified that the mutual information technique proved to be more efficient and produced higher accuracy in the predictions.
The Five Rs of Prison Reform With Ethnoracially Diverse Offenders
Authors: Mueller-Coyne Jessica , Johnson Ronn , Gresham Valene
Published: August 2021

There are various barriers associated with successful reentry into society for individuals released from prison. Reuniting with family members, rehabilitation efforts, employment, and housing are just some examples of obstacles individuals face when released into the community. Additionally, the costs stemming from the number of people incarcerated, length of stay in prison, racial disparities, and the mental status of offenders create an increased risk for post-release readjustment complications. This chapter focuses on what we call the Pentagonal Post-Release Risk Assessment Framework, or the 5 Rs, which include consideration for risk association of recidivism, reunification, rehabilitation, reintegration, and racism. For individuals released back into the community, it is imperative to consider the 5 Rs. Neglecting one or more of the 5 Rs may perpetuate a cycle of reoffending.
Recidivism and Cognitive Behavioral Therapies
Authors: Pelletier Sheryl L. , Flanegan Mary J. , Moore Derek M.
Published: August 2021

Recidivism of criminal offenders has become a national problem in the United States. New criminal activity along with technical violations of conditions of probation or parole are the results of deficiencies in cognitive behaviorisms. Numerous studies have revealed that weaknesses in cognitive behavior are a common denominator among offenders. These studies have led to the development and implementation of treatment strategies that, when administered to criminal offenders, have proven to be effective in reducing recidivism. Therapeutic programs grounded in evidence-based practices are widely used throughout correctional facilities and probation-parole departments. However, this evidence-based approach in reducing recidivism is moot if correctional leadership is not supportive of rehabilitative programs for offenders. The efficacy and success of these programs are dependent on effective leadership along with professionals and paraprofessionals that are specifically credentialed or licensed and have the qualities and skillsets to provide these types of rehabilitative measures.

Cybercrimes targeting women have remained a menace for the victims, police, and prosecution for over a decade now in India and the UK. This chapter aims to research on the comparative analysis of relationship of police and prosecution for case management with special reference to cybercrimes against women cases between UK and India to find positive solutions for restitution of justice in such cases.
Homelessness, Mental Health Afflictions, Problematic Substance Use, and Associated Criminality
Authors: D'Souza Jayesh
Published: August 2021

Homelessness and related community ailments have plagued society for a number of years, and governments have found it difficult to get these under control. The sheer number of homeless with mental health afflictions and problematic substance use problems leaves no doubt about the need for a stronger, more urgent government response. Community ailments such as these have led to increased crime rates and incarcerations and overcrowded prisons without a lasting solution in sight. This chapter uses the transformative justice model, with the expectation it produces better results than current models, by examining the source of homelessness, mental health afflictions, and problematic substance use and their bi-directional relationship with crime. This inter-jurisdictional study compares the current situations in the state of California and the province of Ontario, which have a high percent of homeless populations. It proves that special attention to vulnerable populations such as racialized groups, the socioeconomically disadvantaged, and youth is warranted.

A curriculum is a guiding strength behind any educational system, and its successful implementation defines the actualization of every country's education goals. School management team (SMT) success depends on their readiness to be dynamic in changing times and serving their duties as curriculum leaders. The purpose of this chapter is to investigate the roles of SMTs in managing curriculum delivery during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. The desktop research method was used. The content of this chapter focuses on the management of teaching and learning during the COVID-19 crisis. To ensure the quality of education, schools should be actively involved in curriculum implementation. Various factors supporting school management teams and strategies used in effective management curriculum delivery are highlighted. In addition, the factors that act as barriers in managing curriculum delivery and conflict of interests will be discussed. Finally, the authors recommend that SMTs, teachers, students, and all stakeholders should embrace the transition of curriculum delivery.
