Code switching and the so-called “assimilation narrative”
Authors: Vraukó Tamás
Published: October 2020

In literary theory, the works of (ethnic) minority authors–and similarly, the works of authors dealing with minorities–are often referred to as “assimilation narrative.” This term tends to suggest that minority authors, who write in the language of their country, seek a place in society through assimilation. Assimilation, however, means melting up in the majority nation by adopting all the values, customs and way of life characteristic of the majority, and abandoning, leaving behind, giving up the original traditional values, ethics, lifestyle, religion etc. of the minority. Assimilation means disappearing without a trace, continuing life as a new person, with new values, language, a whole set of new cultural assets. In this paper an effort is made to show that this is in fact not what many of the ethnic minority writers look for, so the term assimilation narrative is in many, although certainly not all, the cases, erroneuosly applied. It is justified to make a distinction between assimilation and integration narratives, as the two are not the same. In the paper examples are provided from Hispanic-American literature (Mexican-American, Puerto Rican and Dominican), across a range of genres from prose through drama to poetry, and also, examples are discussed when the author does in fact seek assimilation, as well as stories in which neither assimilation, nor integration is successful.

Authors: Haapanen Marjut , Katisko Kasper , Hänninen Tuomo , Krüger Johanna , Hartikainen Päivi , Haapasalo Annakaisa , Remes Anne M. , Solje Eino
Published: October 2020

Primary progressive aphasia (PPA) forms the spectrum of language variants of frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD), including three subtypes each consisting of distinctive speech and language features. Repeat expansion in C9orf72 gene is the most common genetic cause of FTLD. However, thus far only little is known about the effects of the C9orf72 repeat expansion on the phenotype of PPA. This retrospective study aimed at determining the differences between the PPA phenotypes of the C9orf72 expansion carriers and non-carriers. Our results demonstrated no significant differences between these groups, indicating that the C9orf72 repeat expansion does not substantially affect the phenotype of PPA.
Antivirals Against SARS-CoV2: Relevance to the Treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease
Authors: Itzhaki Ruth F.
Published: October 2020

A recent study in vitro has shown that a sulphated polysaccharide, a type of fucoidan, has potent antiviral activity against SARS-Cov2. If the antiviral action were successful also for COVID-19 patients, it would be enormously valuable against not only acute disease but also long-term mental effects, which might include Alzheimer’s disease (AD). In a trial of AD patients, the apparent success of treatment with a polysaccharide, GV971, was suggested to result from antiviral action against herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV1) in brain, a pathogen strongly implicated in AD, and that sulphation of GV971, making it fucoidan-like, might increase its putative antiviral action. These data indicate that treatment of AD patients might be very effective using valacyclovir, a conventional antiviral, which inhibits viral replication, together with a fucoidan, which blocks virus entry into cells.
UCrawler: A learning-based web crawler using a URL knowledge base
Authors: Wang Wei , Yu Lihua
Published: October 2020

Focused crawlers, as fundamental components of vertical search engines, focus on crawling the web pages related to a specific topic. Existing focused crawlers commonly suffer from the problems of low efficiency of crawling pages and subject migration. In this paper, we propose a learning-based focused crawler using a URL knowledge base. To improve the accuracy of similarity, the similarity of the topic is measured with the parent page content, anchor information, and URL content. The URL content is also learned and updated iteratively and continuously. Within the crawler, we implement a crawling mechanism based on a combination of content analysis and simple link analysis crawler strategy, which decreases computational complexity and avoids the locality problem of crawling. Experimental results show that our proposed algorithm achieves a better precision than traditional methods including the shark-search and best-first search algorithms, and avoids the local optimum problem of crawling.
The ordered weighted government transparency average: Colombia case
Authors: Perez-Arellano Luis A. , Leon-Castro Ernesto , Blanco-Mesa Fabio , Fonseca-Cifuentes Gina
Published: October 2020

The main aim of this paper is to propose a new aggregation operator to improve the evaluation of the transparency index. This new operator is called the prioritized induced ordered weighted average weighted average (PIOWAWA) operator. The main characteristics of the PIOWAWA operator are that it allows considering the degree of importance, reordering and weight factors given to the information in the same formulation by the decision maker. A mathematical application is performed using a Colombia transparency case. The findings highlight that according to the operator used, there are significant changes in the ranking. The main implications are given by using these aggregation operators for the generation of scenarios by considering the changes in the allocation of weights, the level of importance and the ordering of information simultaneously.
Application of improved random forest algorithm and fuzzy mathematics in physical fitness of athletes
Authors: Gao Tianye , Liu Jian
Published: October 2020

The comprehensive indicators of the physical fitness of young athletes and the specific modes of transportation, working and leisure activities as explanatory variables are not in line with the normal distribution. Moreover, there is a high correlation between explanatory variables, and fitting traditional regression models does not meet the assumptions, and multiple collinearity problems will occur, and good results will not be obtained. The random forest regression model has excellent performance in overcoming these difficulties. Therefore, the random forest regression model is constructed to evaluate the impact of various factors on the physical fitness of young people. This paper studies the impact of various factors on the health level of young people’s body and combines the source data and research goals to establish a comprehensive evaluation index system and an influential factor indicator system. In addition, this paper uses AHP to conduct comprehensive evaluation, and obtains the comprehensive physical quality of young people, and gives corresponding suggestions according to the actual situation.
A novel method for multi-attribute risk decision-making based on regret theory and hybird information
Authors: Zhang Nian , Han Yunpeng , Si Quanshen , Wei Guiwu
Published: October 2020

To consider the decision makers’ regret behavior and describe the hybrid evolution information in the risk decision-making problem, a new approach is proposed based on regret theory in this paper. Firstly, the probable value of different states are calculated by Pignistic probability transformation method. Secondly, the relative closeness formula of hybrid information are established and the utility values of alternatives are computed. Then, decision makers’ utility values are obtained according to the regret theory. Moreover, the overall perceived utility values of alternatives are obtained by weighted arithmetic mean and got the optimal one by the ranking order. Finally, an numerical example is illustrated the method and comparative analysis are offered between the proposed approach and other existed methods to show that is feasible and usable.
Violence recognition using convolutional neural network: A survey
Authors: Tripathi Gaurav , Singh Kuldeep , Vishwakarma Dinesh Kumar
Published: October 2020

Violence detection is a challenging task in the computer vision domain. Violence detection framework depends upon the detection of crowd behaviour changes. Violence erupts due to disagreement of an idea, injustice or severe disagreement. The aim of any country is to maintain law and order and peace in the area. Violence detection thus becomes an important task for authorities to maintain peace. Traditional methods have existed for violence detection which are heavily dependent upon hand crafted features. The world is now transitioning in to Artificial Intelligence based techniques. Automatic feature extraction and its classification from images and videos is the new norm in surveillance domain. Deep learning platform has provided us the platter on which non-linear features can be extracted, self-learnt and classified as per the appropriate tool. One such tool is the Convolutional Neural Networks, also known as ConvNets, which has the ability to automatically extract features and classify them in to their respective domain. Till date there is no survey of deciphering violence behaviour techniques using ConvNets. We hope that this survey becomes an exclusive baseline for future violence detection and analysis in the deep learning domain.
The beta and simplex regression models to explain homicides in state capitals of Brazil
Authors: Cordeiro Gauss M. , Rocha Enivaldo , Figueiredo Dalson , Fernandes Antônio , Ortega Edwin M.M. , Prataviera Fábio
Published: October 2020

The intentional killing of one human being by its own kind is considered the worst of the crimes. Therefore, homicide prevention is a major concern for policy makers in both developing and developed countries. We propose regression modeling for the homicide rates in Brazil along with appropriately chosen distributions for these responses that are in agreement with the restriction of values to the unit interval. We adopt the beta and simplex regression models with systematic components for the mean and dispersion parameters to explain the homicide rates in 27 state capitals of Brazil from the following explanatory variables: time, Gini coefficient, municipal human development index (MHDI), illiteracy and poverty rates. We employ standard likelihood techniques, perform influence and residual analysis and calculate goodness-of-fit statistics to select the best regression to explain homicides rates in these capitals. We perform the computations in the R package. The main results suggest the following: the mean homicide rate is increasing over time; there is a negative correlation between MHDI and murder rate; the poverty has a quite small negative impact on the mean homicide rates in the beta regression. The Gini coefficient and the illiteracy and poverty rates explain the dispersion of the homicide rates.
A statistical approach for assessing progress towards the SDG targets
Authors: Gennari Pietro , D’Orazio Marcello
Published: October 2020

The global SDG indicator framework establishes a set of measurement tools to assess country performances in a comparable way, and helps governments to identify appropriate policy interventions to achieve the SDG targets. Five years into the implementation of the 2030 Agenda, however, still different methods are being used by leading international organizations for assessing whether the SDG targets will be achieved or not. This may lead to different results, sometimes contradictory, generating confusion among users and policy-makers, who therefore cannot base their policy decisions on solid and coherent assessments. This article describes some of the solutions proposed by leading international organizations to address two distinct measurement objectives: (i) monitor the “current” status of achievement of a SDG target, i.e. the situation as pictured by the latest available data, and (ii) assess whether the SDG targets can be achieved by 2030. These distinct objectives are then translated in various methodological approaches, that often include also a way for identifying the targets when not explicitly set, and the procedure to obtain regional and global aggregates (as well as, aggregates by target and goal). This article provides a critical overview of the different approaches and proposes a unified coherent statistical approach for progress and status assessments, highlighting its advantages over the alternative approaches, and demonstrate its application to a specific FAO indicator. The article focuses mainly on the assessment of (i) and (ii), while is not intended to investigate the issues related the aggregation of results at target/goal level, a topic that is beyond the scope of this work.
EUCISE-OWL: An ontology-based representation of the Common Information Sharing Environment (CISE) for the maritime domain
Authors: Riga Marina , Kontopoulos Efstratios , Ioannidis Konstantinos , Kintzios Spyridon , Vrochidis Stefanos , Kompatsiaris Ioannis
Published: October 2020

The timely and efficient cooperation across sectors and borders during maritime crises is paramount for the safety of human lives. Maritime monitoring authorities are now realizing the grave importance of cross-sector and cross-border information sharing. However, this cooperation is compromised by the diversity of existing systems and the vast volumes of heterogeneous data generated and exchanged during maritime operations. In order to address these challenges, the EU has been driving several initiatives, including several EU-funded projects, for facilitating information exchange across sectors and borders. A key outcome from these efforts is the Common Information Sharing Environment (CISE), which constitutes a collaborative initiative for promoting automated information sharing between maritime monitoring authorities. However, the adoption of CISE is substantially limited by its existing serialization as an XML Schema only, which facilitates information sharing and exchange to some extent, but fails to deliver the fundamental additional benefits provided by ontologies, like the richer semantics, enhanced semantic interoperability and semantic reasoning capabilities. Thus, this paper presents EUCISE-OWL, an ontology representation of the CISE data model that capitalizes on the benefits provided by ontologies and aims to encourage the adoption of CISE. EUCISE-OWL is an outcome from close collaboration in an EU-funded project with domain experts with extensive experience in deploying CISE in practice. The paper also presents a representative example for handling information exchange during a maritime crisis as well as performance results for specific querying tasks that can demonstrate and evaluate the use of the proposed ontology in practice.

Authors: Ashraf Masood , Muzammil M. , Khan Abid A.
Published: October 2020

BACKGROUND: Despite extensive industrial use, no major modifications to the bench drilling machine, with respect to ease of operation, have been undertaken. OBJECTIVE: The objectives of the study were to design a new feed handle (NFH) to perform the drilling task on a bench drilling machine and evaluate the existing (EFH) and new feed handles on the basis of performance measures like drilling productivity in terms of metal removal rate (MRR) and worker performance in terms of perceived discomfort score (PDS). METHODS: Participants performed the drilling task on a steel block for three different working durations at two drilling speeds. RESULTS: ANOVA analysis carried out for the MRR data showed that drilling speed had a statistically significant effect on the task performance of the operator for both handles. However, the task duration was found to be statistically significant only for the EFH. The ANOVA results obtained on the PDS data showed that the task duration and drilling speed had a statistically significant effect on the task performance of the operator for both systems. CONCLUSIONS: The MRR obtained was higher when the drilling task was carried out using NFH. An appreciable decrease in PDS was also observed using the proposed system.

Published: October 2020

BACKGROUND: Occupations might influence the employees’ psychophysical conditions and an important issue is the human activity mechanization, which favors a hypokinetic work status and leads to several chronic diseases. One of the most hypokinetic occupations is the supermarket cashier, in which the individual may spend many hours a day in the same body position. OBJECTIVE: The goal of this study was to evaluate the association between cardiovascular risk, quality of life and physical activity level in supermarket cashiers. METHODS: This is a cross-sectional study which included 200 supermarket cashiers aged 20 to 41 years from São Paulo, Brazil. The following cardiovascular risk factors were evaluated: overweight, obesity, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and tobacco smoking. Physical activity level and quality of life were assessed with the short-form of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAq) and World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL), respectively. Student t test and Chi-square were carried out to evaluate mean gender comparations and frequency, respectively. Logistic regression models were applied to determine the association between cardiovascular risk factors and physical activity level. RESULTS: The prevalence for all cardiovascular risk factors was significantly high in the cashiers with a low physical activity level. However, there was a significant reduction in several risk factors in the groups with moderate and high physical activity levels. The odds ratio values were significantly reduced for the association between the cardiovascular risk factors and the moderate and high physical activity levels. The cashiers with moderate and high physical activity levels showed significantly higher quality of life scores for the social and environmental domain. CONCLUSIONS: A high physical activity level is positively related to quality of life in supermarket cashiers.
Hazardous Effects of Arsenic Contaminated Water on the Biological Characteristics of Fishes: A Review
Authors: Kanwal Maimoona , Hussain Mubashar , Younus Waqar
Published: October 2020

The aim of the current review is to deliberate on arsenic chemistry, its existence in aquatic ecosystem and its effects on the biological systems of fishes which are regarded as potential indicators for any change in water quality. Water is a major storehouse of arsenic which is present in the form of arsenate and arsenite. Anthropogenic activities including unlimited application of arsenic pesticides, industrial activities and mining operations have increased the universal incidence of soluble arsenic above tolerable levels of 0.010 mg/L. Variations in fish behaviour, growth rate, haematological and biological parameters and organ systems have been observed in arsenic contaminated water. Data regarding these parameters indicate that the fish shows aggressive behaviour and its weight increases due to a high arsenic uptake. The production rate of biochemical compounds like carbohydrates, proteins and lipids is reduced due to arsenic bonding with their precursors. Among organ systems, skin is a highly affected organ, while muscles are the least affected due to high arsenic concentration. Low concentration of arsenic results in bioaccumulation, conspicuously in liver and kidney, upon incessant exposure to freshwater ﬁsh. This bioaccumulation turns into biomagnification and becomes the cause of lethal diseases in human beings, such as hyperglycaemia, diminution of enzymatic activities and immune system abnormalities. Keeping in view all of these above mentioned facts, it is imperative to take action against excessive arsenic usage and to develop its eco-friendly management ways.

Authors: Nazeer Aqib , Ali Shahid , Tipu Imran
Published: October 2020

Background The prevalence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) in the Pakistani population has been reported previously, however, studies with a city-oriented approach and focus on age and gender distribution are very limited. Therefore, the current study was designed to unravel the age-wise and gender wise prevalence of HBV in Lahore, Pakistan. Methods A total of 350 blood samples of both male and female patients who visited National Genetic Laboratory, Lahore between February 2019 and July 2019 and who were suspected of HBV infection were screened. Sandwich based ELISA was used to detect rapid hepatitis B surface antigen (HbsAg) according to the manufacturer’s instruction. Real time PCR was used to detect HBV using HBV Rotor Gene PCR kit. Results Out of 350 blood samples screened for HBV infection (n= 350), 180 (51.43%) were of males and 170 (48.57%) were of females. Mean age (years) with SD (standard deviation) of the screened population was 37.22 ± 12.16 years. Overall, 224 samples (64%) were found to be positive for HBV infection. In our study, the number of females with this infection (52.24%) was slightly higher than males (47.76%). However, we observed no statistically significant difference (p = 0.225) between them. Conclusion Our study concludes that HBV is highly prevalent in Lahore, Pakistan. Females are slightly more susceptible to HBV infection as compared to males. This study also reports that HBV is more prevalent in the 20-40 age group.

Authors: Martin Hailey , Akpunonu Peter
Published: October 2020

Background: A Gar is a primarily freshwater fish that resides in North America. The flesh of a garfish is edible; however, the eggs and any meat surrounding the eggs are highly toxic to humans. The toxicity is induced by the protein ichthyotoxin.

Case Report: The studied patient was an 18-year-old male who ingested 2-3 spoons full of gar eggs in their residence place. Each spoon full contained 40-50 eggs. The estimated total amount of consumed eggs equaled 3 teaspoons. Approximately one hour after eating the eggs, the patient began to feel unwell. Upon arrival at the local Children’s Hospital, the patient was experiencing nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and sweating.

Conclusion: Patients affected by gar eggs should be treated symptomatically, given there is no antidote or specific treatment for ichthyotoxin. Further research is required on the mechanism that makes ichthyotoxin toxic. Luckily, the presented patient presented no seizures due to the toxin and the care providers could manage the related symptoms.

Un retrato de Carmen: Orgullosamente kichwa de Saraguro
Authors: Pentón Herrera Luis Javier
Published: October 2020

Las poblaciones indígenas provenientes de Latinoamérica residentes en los Estados Unidos han aumentado en número y en visibilidad en recientes años. Sin embargo, aún quedan muchas oportunidades por compartir las historias y realidades de esta población minoritaria dentro de la nación estadounidense. En este trabajo, el autor se apoya en el marco cualitativo de retrato (portraiture, en inglés) y en más de cuatro meses de comunicación para dibujar la realidad de Carmen, una mujer kichwa de Saraguro, Ecuador residente en Maryland, Estados Unidos. Los resultados de este estudio dibujan una realidad poco conocida sobre Carmen—y quizás otras mujeres indígenas latinas inmigrantes en los Estados Unidos— como mujer trilingüe inmigrante kichwa que, a su vez, es matriarca de su familia, estudiante universitaria, defensora y educadora de sus hijos en las escuelas y en su casa, al igual que puente de conocimiento cultural indígena para la nueva generación dentro de su hogar. El propósito fundamental de este trabajo es, entonces, el ayudar a la visualización de las poblaciones indígenas de Latinoamérica residentes en los Estados Unidos y a que, mediante Carmen, podamos aprender de sus realidades e historias.

Abstract: The purpose of the current study was to investigate the effect of power state, level of social exclusion, and the individual characteristic of need for uniqueness on consumption choice between viewing Major League Baseball (distinctive option) and the South Korean baseball league (general option) as well as viewing attitudes toward the general option. Binary logistic regression and 2 (power state: high vs. low) x 2 (social state: inclusion vs. exclusion) x 3 (NFU: high vs. medium vs. low) ANOVA were used to test the study hypotheses. Results indicated that first, the need for uniqueness (NFU) influenced the distinctive choice. Second, power states affected the distinctive choice of consumers. Third, individual levels of social exclusion did not yield significant results. Additionally, the interaction effect between power state and social state as well as the interaction effect between power state and the three levels of NFU were significant.

Myiasis is considered a dermatozoonosis infestation caused by infestation of dipteran larvae in tissues or organs, which lay their eggs in humans or animals, which for a certain period feed on living or dead tissues of the host the occurrence of myiasis in the oral cavity can be considered a rare thing. This type of disease most often affects people of low socioeconomic status, immunocompromised, bedridden elderly and with psychiatric disorders. Due to its great destructive potential, a timely and important appropriate prevention and treatment, there is also little knowledge of the dental professional for the diagnosis and treatment of such pathology, For this reason, the present study reports a clinical case of oral myiasis in an elderly person bedridden with a history of malignant laryngeal/glottal neoplasia injury, presenting physical and mental weakness and inadequate body hygiene and lack of lip sealing that led to the infestation of larvae in the tongue. The diagnosis was clinically established based on observation of tongue bleeding, tissue detachment, and presence of larvae that were between the second and third stages of development. Treatment was initiated as hospitalization of the patient for debridement of necrotic tissues and removal of larvae and prescription of ivermectin. Bedridden patients with physical and metal weakness constitute a risk group for oral myiasis, and it is of great importance to guide caregivers and family members in relation to dental care in order to prevent this pathology. However, the lack of a consensus on the best therapeutic approach for cases of oral myiasis was taken as therapeutic conduct for the disease the mechanical removal of larvae and institution of oral use of ivermectin.
