The Affect Labeling Questionnaire (ALQ): Decomposing affect labeling and implications for individual differences in socio-emotional well-being
Authors: Sahi Razia S. , Guassi Moreira Joao F , Torre Jared , Lieberman Matthew
Published: June 2023

A number of studies have shown that putting feelings into words, a process known as affect labeling, can be an effective emotion regulation strategy for dampening negative affect. However, the components of this emotion regulation strategy and corresponding implications for social behavior, relationships, and other emotion regulation strategies remain poorly understood. We developed the Affect Labeling Questionnaire (ALQ) to measure individual differences in affect labeling and its relation to other psychological constructs. In study 1 (N1 = 200), we used exploratory factor analysis to identify three factors underlying affect labeling: (a) affective awareness; (b) affect labeling tendency; and (c) affect labeling capacity. In study 2 (N2 = 293), we used confirmatory factor analysis to validate our affect labeling measure with these three components. Item response theory was utilized in both studies for additional item validation and to ascertain psychometric properties of the scale. In study 3 (N3 = 227), we correlated the ALQ with existing measures of social and emotional tendencies, and found that greater affect labeling use tracked with increased emotional expressivity, social support, and use of other emotion regulation strategies (i.e. reappraisal, coping). In addition to validating a measure of affect labeling for future use, these data shed light on the psychological structure underlying affect labeling and inform how it relates to other socio-emotional metrics of well-being.
The relationship between education and fertility preferences in Mexico: Lessons from Italy
Authors: del Rosario de Fatima Juárez Carcaño María , De Rose Alessandra , Testa Maria Rita
Published: June 2023

Education is an important determinant of reproductive preferences. How, its role has changed in countries at different level of fertility transition has been largely under-investigated, due to the lack of adequate data. In this paper we analyze the role of education as determinant of fertility preferences in Mexico, a country which is fast approaching the end of fertility transition, although with substantial within-country territorial differences. We contrast the results with evidence from a very low fertility country, Italy, using survey data. Findings indicate a persistent negative relationship between fertility preferences and educational level in Mexico. However, a more refined analysis at the territorial areas reveals that in the most developed regions – such as Mexico City - the relationship is reversing, with more educated women showing an attitude toward having a child more similar to that observed in Italy, where the effect of higher education on fertility intentions is positive.
МАТЕМАТИЧНА МОДЕЛЬ ПРОЦЕСУ ВИНИКНЕННЯ ЗОНИ ЧИСТОГО ЦЕМЕНТА НАВКОЛО ЗАКРІПЛЕНИХ ЕЛЕМЕНТІВ ПРИ ВИКОРИСТАННІ СТРУМІННОЇ ТЕХНОЛОГІЇ

Розглянута математична модель, що пояснює виникнення зони чистого цементу при закріплені дисперсної породи струменями високого тиску. На підставі розглянутої моделі зроблений висновок щодо лінійної залежності тиску подачі закріпляючого розчину і товщини зони чистого цементу навколо закріпленого елементу.

Вважаючи породу ізотропним середовищем, потовщення струменя можна описати звичайним диференційним рівнянням. Якщо знехтувати величинами першого і другого порядку малості, можна у першому наближенні оцінити величину товщини зони чистого цементу. При цьому різниця між теоретичними та експериментальними результатами в середньому не перевищує 16 %.

Можна зробити висновок, що товщина зони чистого закріплюючого розчину при збільшенні тиску подачі розчину збільшується за лінійним законом і коефіцієнт кореляції між розрахунковими і експериментальними значеннями становить 0,97. Даний ефект цікавий тим, що оболонка з чистого цементного розчину на порідно-розчинному елементі покращує його фільтраційні властивості, що необхідно враховувати при створенні протифільтраційних завіс струменями високого тиску, що закріплюють речовини. Внаслідок того, що оболонка з чистого цементного розчину на закріпленому елементі покращує його фільтраційні властивості, можна або економити закріплюючі матеріали, або підвищувати фільтраційні властивості ПФЗ.
МАТЕМАТИЧНА МОДЕЛЬ ВЗАЄМОДІЇ ПАРАЛЕЛОГРАМНОГО МЕХАНІЗМУ ҐРУНТООБРОБНОГО ЗНАРЯДДЯ З РЕЛЬЄФОМ ПОЛЯ

При вирощуванні сільськогосподарських культур в наш час застосовується мінімальна технологія вирощування. Вказана технологія має, як свої переваги, так і недоліки. Однак вона передбачає виконання технологічної операцій підготовки ґрунту та сівби. Інші технології виробництва зерна різняться лише операціями щодо основного та передпосівного обробітку ґрунту та сівби.

Одним із основних завдань сівби є створення оптимальних умов для розвитку сільськогосподарських культур. До таких умов можна віднести рівномірність розподілу насіння за глибиною сівби. Сучасні посівні машини та комплекси, що використовуються в умовах України мають продуктивність до 12 га/год. Такі показники забезпечуються досить складною конструкцією посівних секцій, що складається з системи паралелограмів, та інших механізмів.

Для забезпечення копіювання поверхні поля сучасні ґрунтообробні та посівні агрегати оснащуються, паралелограмними копіювальними механізмами. Копіювання поверхні поля паралелограмним механізмом можна визначати різними методиками з врахуванням всіх факторів, однак в польових умовах за допомогою спеціального обладнання. Сучасні посівні машини та комплекси, що використовуються в умовах України мають продуктивність до 12 га/год. Однією з актуальних задач сьогодення є моделювання режимів роботи окремих елементів механізмів копіювання, що сприяє оптимізації їх параметрів. Основним джерелом коливань паралелограммного механізму сівалки або культиватора є нерівності опорної поверхні — сільськогосподарського фону, що мають випадковий характер, та описується законом нормального розподілу. Мікропрофіль вважається стаціонарним випадковим процесом та основними його характеристиками є: кореляційна функція, спектральна щільність та максимальна висота нерівностей. Кореляційна функція характеризує структуру випадкової функції нерівності і для неї найчастіше вибирається апроксимуючий вираз відомого виду. Числові значення моделювання залежать від типу поля та швидкості руху агрегату, тому для довільної швидкості визначаються за їх значеннями, отриманими для швидкості 1 м/с, використовуючи наступні співвідношення. Розподіл ординат мікропрофілю поля відповідно до нормального закону підпорядковується виразу . Моделювання показує, що з ростом часу моделювання зв'язок різко падає. За результатами моделювання, час кореляції змінюється від 0,5 до 1,24 , що свідчить про невеликий кореляційний зв'язок профілю. Коливання ординат у профілях поля відсутні. Згідно з експериментальними даними, значення для профілю поля знаходяться в межах 0,026...0,12 м.

Отримані результати можуть бути використаними на етапі проектування або моделювання механізмів копіювання посівних та ґрунтообробних машин.

У роботі розглядається дифрактограми, що одержують під час рентгенівських досліджень мають відносні одиниці, а для дослідження близького порядку використовують структурний фактор, який має електронні одиниці. Підкреслено, що нелінійність математичної моделі зумовлює необхідність застосуван­ня чисельних методів та засобів їх комп’ютерної реалізації.

Структурний фактор отримують з експериментальних даних введенням різних поправок, які залежать від довжини хвилі випромінювання, геометрії зйомки, форми зразків та їх складу. У випадку нормування інтенсивності даним методом діють таким чином: знаходять відношення експериментальної інтенсивності до інтенсивності розсіяння одним атомом, тобто суму квадратів атомного фактору і комптонівського розсіяння. Якщо в експериментальну інтенсивність введені інші похибки та відсутні систематичні похибки, то отримане співвідношення при великих значення  повинно рівномірно осцилювати навколо деякого постійного числа, обернена величина якого є нормуючим множником.

Для визначення впливу режимів імпульсного струму на близький порядок сплавів Ni-P, Со-Р і Fe-P використовували розчини електролітів з мінімальною концентрацією Na2НPO2. Для уточнення фазового стану сплавів розглянуто мікроелектронограми сплавів з максимальним вмістом фосфору.

Raising private finance for public infrastructure in Sub-Saharan Africa: Exploring Infrastructure Mutual Funds and Islamic Finance
Authors: Arimoro Augustine Edobor , Elgujja Abba Amsami , Elgujja Abba Amsami
Published: June 2023

Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) lags other regions of the world as far as critical infrastructure is concerned. Even though the region has great potential, the governments in the region are constrained by budget deficits and competing demands for state resources. With limited access to foreign finance for private sector-led infrastructure procurement in most economies in SSA, this article examines how innovative financial products can be developed to unlock domestic finance for infrastructure. The article adopts a law and development approach. The article recommends the development of infrastructure mutual funds and Islamic finance as alternative sources for infrastructure finance in SSA. This recommendation is based on Prof YS Lee's adaptability to socioeconomic conditions theory.
About the origin of analcime in meso- and cenozoic volcanic rocks of the Czech Republic and its role in rock classification
Authors: Pour Ondřej , Rapprich Vladislav , Matýsek Dalibor , Jirásek Jakub
Published: June 2023

Magmatic origin of analcime has been discussed for decades (e. g., Karlsson and Clayton 1991, 1993; Pearce 1993). Despite the fact that analcime has been re-classified as zeolite and its secondary (post-magmatic) origin is globally accepted (e. g., Roux and Hamilton 1976, Giannetti and Masi 1989, Wilkinson and Hensel 1994), it is still commonly used in classification of alkaline rocks in the Czech Republic. In these rocks, analcime can be mostly found in the pseudomorphs after leucite (Fig. 1a; see Rapprich 2003), or as a homogeneous anhedral filling in the groundmass (Fig. 1b). In the second case, the boundaries of individual analcime crystals cannot be identified due to the isotropic optical properties of analcime. Therefore, origin and growth of analcime is difficult to reconstruct. For this contribution, we have studied samples of Mesozoic and Cenozoic alkaline rocks from three localities across the Czech Republic, where partly analcimized glass in the groundmass was preserved, with an aim to better understand the origin of analcime in alkaline rocks. Mesozoic augitite from the southwestern slope of the Petřkovice Mt. near Nový Jičín (sample TG05) displays small isometric colourless, optically isotropic domains (analcime) enclosed in originally glassy groundmass (Fig. 1c–f ). This texture suggests the analcime is replacing original glass in the groundmass, enclosing also microcrysts of the stable minerals in groundmass. Very similar texture was observed also in Oligocene augitite from Mětikalov in Doupovské hory Mts. (sample DR338, Fig. 2). In this rock, the analcime domains either mantle larger phenocrysts, or are distributed within the groundmass. The growth of the analcime domains on the edges of larger phenocrysts resembles growth of spherulites, which represent products of silica-rich glass recrystallization (e. g., Breitkreuz 2013). To further investigate this possibility, additional samples were collected from Kamenický vrch near Zákupy (Fig. 3). In individual samples, number and size of analcime domains vary, which suggests, that these domains represent various stages of a continuous growth. The X-ray elemental mapping of Al and Na (Fig. 4) then shows, that the analcime domains are represented by single grains of cubic analcime. As a result, we may conclude that analcime in groundmass of Mesozoic and Cenozoic alkaline rocks originates from devitrification of original glass. These rocks hence should not be classified as “analcimites” or “analcimic …” but rather as “analcimized …” according to Le Maitre et al. (2005).
Fracturas de pilón tibial, clasificación y tratamiento
Authors: Gutiérrez Fernández Francine , López Angulo David , Ramírez Perera Shelsy
Published: June 2023

Las fracturas de pilón tibial son poco comunes; sin embargo, se consideran de alta complejidad. En general, se producen por mecanismos de trauma de alta energía, como fuerzas axiales sobre el astrágalo, lo que provoca impacto en la tibia y su fractura. Estas fracturas están asociadas con una grave afectación de los tejidos blandos, lo que las predispone a complicaciones. Por tanto, se debe tener un manejo meticuloso de estos tejidos, lo que representa un desafío para su fijación, dado que en múltiples ocasiones dificultan su abordaje.

A pesar de los avances quirúrgicos y los protocolos por etapas, así como la introducción del uso de la fijación externa provisional en el período agudo, hasta lograr un adecuado estado de los tejidos blandos, se ha reducido la tasa de infecciones y complicaciones. Sin embargo, su pronóstico continúa siendo deficiente.

The article discusses the means of expression the locatives in the functional-semantic field in the Russian and Chinese languages. The functional-locatic field is characterized by its own hierarchical organization. The sphere of locativeness and the functional-semantic stratification of vocabulary expressing spatial meanings play a significant role. The sources for the study were materials from the National Corps of the Russian Language and the Chinese Language Corps. This study is devoted to the representation of the phenomenon of space as a category of locality. The fundamental in this work was a functional-semantic approach, integratinglexical, word-formation, grammatical, contextual and modular means based on the community of their functions. The results of the study can be useful for better mastering by Chinese students the rules for using proposed case designs with a place value.

The article is devoted to the definition of insurance in tourism, which will ensure that the tourist solves all problems and receives qualified medical, legal or administrative assistance. It was determined what insurance is, travel insurance, insurance in tourism. It has been proven that insurance in the tourism industry is used to insure against the risk of financial losses, both large and small, that may arise from damage to the insured or his property, or from liability for damage caused to a third party. The main categories of travel insurance have been revealed, namely: insurance against trip cancellation or interruption, insurance for luggage and personal belongings, medical insurance, accident insurance, in-flight accident insurance. The main sections of the travel insurance policy were also mentioned. During the pandemic, it has become more difficult to travel, so you need to understand the requirements of different countries, as well as protect yourself from risks due to the disease. Additional insurances against no-show and additional financial risks help protect tourists from illness if they have a travel permit. It was concluded that travel insurance provides some security and confidence for tourists to travel with peace of mind. Insurance is designed to cover financial risks.
Affect and Empathy
Authors: Ball Andrew J.
Published: June 2023

Our summer issue begins with a three-part special section on phenomenologies of perception in screen media. These articles focus on novel technological means of representing embodied, lived experience, as well as ways that visual media can impact embodied spectatorship. Each examines media artworks that attempt to represent the seemingly intangible, such as loss, decay, and temporality. The authors in this section offer nuanced and ethically oriented phenomenologies of vision, motion, and time. In “Projecting the Colors of Vision,” Wendy Haslem discusses how artists working in animation, cinema, and virtual reality use visual media to represent the lived experience of sight loss. Haslem analyzes the “haptic optics” of Yoav Brill's Ishihara (2010), Derek Jarman's Blue (1993), and James Spinney and Peter Middleton's Notes on Blindness (2016) to show how these artists use technological tools and experiments with color to represent diverse, embodied experiences of visual disability, and to encourage “empathic awareness” in viewers. In his article, Yifei Sun critiques the analog-contingent theories of movement put forward by Henri Bergson and Gilles Deleuze. Sun modifies aspects of Deleuze's Cinema 1: The Movement-Image to offer a theory that accommodates the qualities of digital film. Sun considers the possibilities for software art to produce what he calls “voyeuristic authorship” and applies his “ontology of decay” to Marc Lafia and Fang-Yu Lin's The Battle of Algiers (2006). In “Aesthetics of Slowness, Aesthetics of Boredom,” Giulia Tronconi examines slow cinema's phenomenology of time. Tronconi offers an incisive reading of Tsai Ming-liang's films I Don't Want to Sleep Alone (2006) and Days (2020) that reveals how the filmmaker uses “felt duration” as a strategy to cultivate “empathic contemplation” and “respectful observation” in viewers. The author engages with the work of Schopenhauer and Heidegger and with Deleuze's Cinema 2: The Time-Image to explain the political and ethical potential of delaying movement in film.
Projecting the Colors of Vision
Authors: Haslem Wendy
Published: June 2023

“Projecting the Colors of Vision” investigates the role of color in the depiction of changing visual dispositions across four screen texts and the technologies that create them. This article explores the role of color in the depiction of color blindness in the abstract cell animation, Ishihara, directed by Yoav Brill (2010). It examines the role of blue in Derek Jarman's experimental film Blue (1993), and it looks into the ways that both the feature film and the virtual reality version of Notes on Blindness (James Spinney and Peter Middleton, 2016) use color, rain, and sound to sculpt spaces. This article develops an intermedial comparison of each text, focusing on image and sound as dialectical forces that invite an embodied experience of distinct perspectives.
Becoming Other, Becoming More
Authors: Lauderdale Jasper
Published: June 2023

This article examines how continuity is dealt with in fictional feminist texts that depict gender or sexuate transition, via surgical intervention or transmogrification, in terms of naming and pronoun use, self-image, and perceived image. The texts here examined—literary and filmic works by cis artists Angela Carter, Sally Potter, and Octavia Butler, principally—all pastiche the familiar narratological mode of transsexual autobiography, aping the convention of internal focalization, though each elides the wrong-body formula that frequently accompanies such narratives to justify access to medical treatment and care. I situate each alongside scholarly engagements with transsexual embodiment, surgery, and lived experience, with particular focus on flesh as that which both contains and determines gendered and sexed readings, to ground these fictive accounts of becoming.
“So, what you been up to…for twenty years?”
Authors: Zurita Mariana Pintado
Published: June 2023

Implicitly or explicitly, society constantly gives us the imperative never to age, to keep our bodies and minds young in order to be valuable—this is particularly the case for women. However, the ageing body tells a valuable story that is worth tracing and analyzing in more depth. In this article, I explore two groups of films in which the ageing bodies of the characters and actors contribute to understanding the narrative of what I call the time-critical sequel. These are sequels produced several years or even decades since their original story was released, in which the years between one film and the other are incorporated into the narrative. First, I will define the time-critical sequel and how it interacts with its parent film. Following, I will develop how the duality of the ageing body of the character/actor, along with their corporeality and embodiment, becomes the means through which a story is told on our screens. I will do this by analyzing Richard Linklater's Before trilogy (1995–2013) and Danny Boyle's Trainspotting (1996), and T2 Trainspotting (2017).
CLAUDE DEBUSSY’NİN “BİR FAUN’UN ÖĞLEDEN SONRASINA PRELÜD” İSİMLİ ESERİ ÜZERİNE İNCELEME

Published: June 2023

Yüzyıl sonu (fin de siècle) Fransa’sında mânâyı ve çağrışımı ortaya koyan sembolizm ile görünene karşı bireysel bakışı tercih eden izlenimcilik sanat üretiminde rol oynar. Fransız sembolizminin önemli isimlerinden Stéphane Mallarmé’nin 1865 yılında bitirdiği “Bir Faun’un Öğleden Sonrası” (L’après-midi d’un faune) şiiri, bir orman tanrısının öğleden sonrasını anlatan, yoğun sembollerle örülü bir eklogdur. Şiir, Édouard Manet’in illüstrasyonlarıyla önce resim sanatında karşılık bulur, fakat en çarpıcı etkisi Claude Debussy’nin 1894 yılında “Bir Faun’un Öğleden Sonrasına Prelüd” (Prélude â l’Aprés-midi d’un faune) ismiyle bestelediği eserde görülür. Sembolist şairlere yakın fakat öncelikle izlenimci akımın tekniklerini kullanan Debussy, şiire dair izlenimlerini müziğine aktarır.

Bu çalışma, Mallarmé’nin şiirini göz önüne alarak, “Bir Faun’un Öğleden Sonrasına Prelüd” eserindeki müzik malzemesini ve müzikologların esere dair tasniflerini merkezine koyar. Eserin üç parçalı yapısı, orkestranın renk yaratmak üzerine tasarlanışı, tonal ve modal kesinliğe rağmen bir belirsizliğin mevcudiyeti, motiflerin ve ezgi parçalarının orkestra ve kimi enstürmanlar tarafından paylaşılması ile şiirdeki gibi bir ana anlatıcının olmayışı, varyasyon teknikleri ve daha eserin başlangıcında Debussy’nin flüt partisinde kullandığı kültleşmiş kromatik ezgi ile eserin, izlenimci öğeler ile şiiri yeniden yorumladığı görülür.

Background:

Apraxia of speech (AOS) is a core feature of nonfluent/agrammatic primary progressive aphasia (naPPA), but its precise characteristics and the prevalence of AOS features in spontaneous speech are debated.

Objective:

To assess the frequency of features of AOS in the spontaneous, connected speech of individuals with naPPA and to evaluate whether these features are associated with an underlying motor disorder such as corticobasal syndrome or progressive supranuclear palsy.

Methods:

We examined features of AOS in 30 patients with naPPA using a picture description task. We compared these patients to 22 individuals with behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia and 30 healthy controls. Each speech sample was evaluated perceptually for lengthened speech segments and quantitatively for speech sound distortions, pauses between and within words, and articulatory groping. We compared subgroups of naPPA with and without at least two features of AOS to assess the possible contribution of a motor impairment to speech production deficits.

Results:

naPPA patients produced both speech sound distortions and other speech sound errors. Speech segmentation was found in 27/30 (90%) of individuals. Distortions were identified in 8/30 (27%) of individuals, and other speech sound errors occurred in 18/30 (60%) of individuals. Frequent articulatory groping was observed in 6/30 (20%) of individuals. Lengthened segments were observed rarely. There were no differences in the frequencies of AOS features among naPPA subgroups as a function of extrapyramidal disease.

Conclusion:

Features of AOS occur with varying frequency in the spontaneous speech of individuals with naPPA, independently of an underlying motor disorder.
A cognitive-based routing algorithm for crowd dynamics under incomplete or even incorrect map knowledge

Published: June 2023

A cognitive-based routing algorithm is proposed. Concepts like local form and path algorithms are developed. Unlike current mainstream routing algorithms assume that all people know everything about the environment, the proposed algorithm allows people to have a complete or incomplete map knowledge and built up their own map knowledge in a piecemeal fashion. Using a hospital floor plan as the scenario, numerical experiments are conducted by assuming pedestrians to have different levels of map knowledge. Results show that reasonable routes could be frequently found even if pedestrians only have an incomplete knowledge of the network. Also pedestrians generally need to traverse more rooms if having zero or less map knowledge. Hence the proposed algorithm’s effectiveness is validated to some extent.
A discrete equilibrium optimization algorithm for breast cancer diagnosis

Published: June 2023

Illness diagnosis is the essential step in designating a treatment. Nowadays, Technological advancements in medical equipment can produce many features to describe breast cancer disease with more comprehensive and discriminant data. Based on the patient’s medical data, several data-driven models are proposed for breast cancer diagnosis using learning techniques such as naive Bayes, neural networks, and SVM. However, the models generated are hardly understandable, so doctors cannot interpret them. This work aims to study breast cancer diagnosis using the associative classification technique. It generates interpretable diagnosis models. In this work, an associative classification approach for breast cancer diagnosis based on the Discrete Equilibrium Optimization Algorithm (DEOA) named Discrete Equilibrium Optimization Algorithm for Associative Classification (DEOA-AC) is proposed. DEOA-AC aims to generate accurate and interpretable diagnosis rules directly from datasets. Firstly, all features in the dataset that contains continuous values are discretized. Secondly, for each class, a new dataset is created from the original dataset and contains only the chosen class’s instances. Finally, the new proposed DEOA is called for each new dataset to generate an optimal rule set. The DEOA-AC approach is evaluated on five well-known and recently used breast cancer datasets and compared with two recently proposed and three classical breast cancer diagnosis algorithms. The comparison results show that the proposed approach can generate more accurate and interpretable diagnosis models for breast cancer than other algorithms.
Exploiting the implicit independence assumption for learning directed graphical models
Authors: Wang Limin , Wei Junyang , Li Kuo , Zhou Jiaping
Published: June 2023

Bayesian network classifiers (BNCs) provide a sound formalism for representing probabilistic knowledge and reasoning with uncertainty. Explicit independence assumptions can effectively and efficiently reduce the size of the search space for solving the NP-complete problem of structure learning. Strong conditional dependencies, when added to the network topology of BNC, can relax the independence assumptions, whereas the weak ones may result in biased estimates of conditional probability and degradation in generalization performance. In this paper, we propose an extension to the k-dependence Bayesian classifier (KDB) that achieves the bias/variance trade-off by verifying the rationality of implicit independence assumptions implicated. The informational and probabilistic dependency relationships represented in the learned robust topologies will be more appropriate for fitting labeled and unlabeled data, respectively. The comprehensive experimental results on 40 UCI datasets show that our proposed algorithm achieves competitive classification performance when compared to state-of-the-art BNC learners and their efficient variants in terms of zero-one loss, root mean square error (RMSE), bias and variance.

The emergence of the Industry 4.0 trend brings automation and data exchange to industrial manufacturing. Using computational systems and IoT devices allows businesses to collect and deal with vast volumes of sensorial and business process data. The growing and proliferation of big data and machine learning technologies enable strategic decisions based on the analyzed data. This study suggests a data-driven predictive maintenance framework for the air production unit (APU) system of a train of Metro do Porto. The proposed method assists in detecting failures and errors in machinery before they reach critical stages. We present an anomaly detection model following an unsupervised approach, combining the Half-Space-trees method with One Class K Nearest Neighbor, adapted to deal with data streams. We evaluate and compare our approach with the Half-Space-Trees method applied without the One Class K Nearest Neighbor combination. Our model produced few type-I errors, significantly increasing the value of precision when compared to the Half-Space-Trees model. Our proposal achieved high anomaly detection performance, predicting most of the catastrophic failures of the APU train system.
FairAW – Additive weighting without discrimination

With growing awareness of the societal impact of decision-making, fairness has become an important issue. More specifically, in many real-world situations, decision-makers can unintentionally discriminate a certain group of individuals based on either inherited or appropriated attributes, such as gender, age, race, or religion. In this paper, we introduce a post-processing technique, called fair additive weighting (FairAW) for achieving group and individual fairness in multi-criteria decision-making methods. The methodology is based on changing the score of an alternative by imposing fair criteria weights. This is achieved through minimization of differences in scores of individuals subject to fairness constraint. The proposed methodology can be successfully used in multi-criteria decision-making methods where the additive weighting is used to evaluate scores of individuals. Moreover, we tested the method both on synthetic and real-world data, and compared it to Disparate Impact Remover and FA*IR methods that are commonly used in achieving fair scoring of individuals. The obtained results showed that FairAW manages to achieve group fairness in terms of statistical parity, while also retaining individual fairness. Additionally, our approach managed to obtain the best equality in scoring between discriminated and privileged groups.

With the advent of the era of Industry 4.0, big data and the Internet of Things came into being. The rise of big data and the Internet of Things has had an impact on all walks of life. The development of big data and the Internet of Things provides an opportunity for the evolution of street form. With the rapid development of smart cities, the street shape is also changing more and more towards the direction of intelligence. Taking Chunxi Road in Chengdu as an example, this paper studies the generation mechanism of street morphology. The factors influencing the generation of street form are divided into two categories: (1) legal factors. (2) Architectural design factors. By building a model, the article quantitatively analyzes the impact of these two types of factors on street form. At the same time, the article conducts an in-depth study on the evolution of ancient Chinese street morphology. The ancient Chinese street form is divided into four stages, namely the Tang and Song Dynasties, the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Late Qing Dynasty, and the founding of New China. The influencing factors of street shape are divided into four categories, namely, the influence of commodity economy, the influence of foreign culture, the influence of building materials, and the influence of traffic. This paper elaborates the influence mechanism of these four factors on the street form in China. The article finally puts forward the development trend of my country’s future street form, and points out that the evolution of my country’s street form will develop in the direction of intelligence, and intelligent transportation, intelligent garbage classification system, etc. will be applied. The number of brick-and-mortar stores in my country’s street layout may decrease.

Authors: Luo Guowei , Qin Kaixian
Published: June 2023

Entity matching is one of the key technologies for geospatial data update and fusion. In response to the shortcomings of most spatial entity matching methods that use local optimisation strategies, a global optimisation matching method for multi-representation buildings using road network constraints is proposed. First, the road network is used for region segmentation to obtain candidate matches. Second, the spatial similarity among the candidate matching objects is calculated and the characteristic similarity weights are determined using the entropy weight method. Third, the matching of building entities is transformed into an allocation problem using integer programming ideas, and the Hungarian algorithm is solved to obtain the optimal matching combination with minimum global variance. Finally, two test areas are selected to validate the proposed method, and the precision, recall, and F-measure values of the experiments are 96.35%, 97.11%, and 96.73% versus 95.96%, 97.03%, and 96.49%, respectively. The matching accuracy is greatly improved compared with the local search strategy.
