ABSTRAKMedia sosial memberikan bonus berupa data yang dapat dikelola menjadi informasi yang bermanfaat. Dalam penelitian ini, kami mengembangkan mesin crawler untuk media sosial Instagram dan Pinterest. Mesin crawler ini digunakan sebagai infrastruktur pendukung untuk mengambil data di media sosial. Data yang dihasilkan oleh mesin crawler selanjutnya digunakan sebagai bahan riset visual untuk merancang kemasan produk bagi konsumen menengah ke atas. Hasil uji coba menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan Apache MesOS dapat mempercepat proses crawling dari 30 jam menjadi 1 jam. Dalam hal seleksi data, pada Pinterest, mesin crawler ini dapat mencapai akurasi hingga 100%. Sementara itu, pada Instagram, nilai Presisi tidak stabil dan berada pada rentang 34.8% hingga 90.0%. Sedangkan nilai recall dan akurasinya konsisten di bawah 70%. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa arsitekturr mesin crawler sudah sesuai untuk menyelesaikan permasalahan. Namun, perbaikan masih dibutuhkan dari sisi algoritma seleksi agar nilai Presisi, Recall dan Akurasi pada Instagram dapat ditingkatkan lagi.Kata kunci: Media Sosial, Riset Visual, Mesin Crawler, Infrastruktur Big DataABSTRACT Social media gives us a huge number of data to be analyzed and sends us useful knowledge. In this paper, we develop a crawler machine for Instagram and Pinterest as an infrastructure of social media based visual research. We conduct the visual research to design product package for consumers from the middle class and upper class. The crawler machine is developed using Apache Kafka, Apache Spark, and Apache MesOS The evaluation result shows us that Apache MesOS can speed up data processing from 30 hours to one hour. In term of data selection, this machine can achieve 100% accuracy on Pinterest. Meanwhile, on Instagram, the precision is unstable between 34.8% to 90.0%. On the other hand, the recall and the accuracy on Instagram are consistently below 70%. Based on the evaluation result, we conclude that the machine performs well in term of time efficiency. However, we need to improve the selection algorithm so that the precision, the recall and the accuracy on Instagram can be increased.Keywords: Social Media, Visual Research, Crawler Machine, Big Data Infrastructure

Hygrophorus betulae, a new species described from subalpine birch forest in Finland
Authors: Larsson Ellen , Bendiksen Katriina
Published: February 2020

A new species, Hygrophorus betulae, associated with Betula pubescens is described from
the subalpine zone of northern Finland. The molecular phylogenetic analysis shows that it
is closely related to H. mesotephrus, a species described from England and associated with Fagus. In morphology H. betulae is characterized by the small glutinous basidiomata and the pale pileus with an olive-grey disc zone. The colour of the disc zone is similar to that of H. olivaceoalbus. The species seems to be rare or may be overlooked because of the small and pale appearance.

Autori u radu analiziraju primjenjuje li se Direktiva 2006/123/EZ Europskog parlamenta i Vijeća od 12. prosinca 2006. godine o uslugama na unutarnjem tržištu i na sustav visokog obrazovanja. U radu će prikazati postojeća teorijska razmatranja o toj problematici, kao i praksu Suda Europske unije. Autori će pokazati da se radi o iznimno složenoj problematici oko koje ne postoji konsenzus u teoriji, a postojeća praksa Suda Europske unije daje odgovore na određena pitanja, ali na niz pitanja koja se mogu postaviti glede eventualne primjene ove Direktive na sustav visokog obrazovanja Sud nije odgovorio. Sintezom teorije i prakse autori će pokazati da, prema njihovu mišljenju, navedena Direktiva nije primjenjiva na sustav javnog visokog obrazovanja. Odnosno, teza autora jest da je sustav visokog obrazovanja isključivi prerogativ država članica koje samostalno odlučuju kakav sustav visokog obrazovanja žele imati.

Implementasi bimbingan konseling kristen sebagai penuntun generasi muda kristen dalam hal berpacaran
Authors: Arruan Datu
Published: February 2020

ABSTRAK Friendship adalah kebutuhan yang hakiki dari setiap manusia, sebagai mahkluk sosial, manusia sejak lahir membutuhkan sesamanya. Kebutuhan sosial ini berkembang dari phase ke phase dan makin lama makin kompleks. Pada akhirnya, meninggalkan phase adolessence (remaja) manusia harus mampu membedakan antara kebutuhan ‘Sense of belonging’, Sebagai bagian dari beberapa macam groups dan kebutuhan sense of belonging pada pribadi-pribadi tertentu. Pada phase inilah seorang remaja menghadapi tantangan untuk menentukan sikap dalam pergaulan pacaran. Pacaran bagi orang Kristen adalah masa perkenalan antara dua pribadi secara khusus dengan tujuan pernikahan. Tetapi beberapa diantara remaja Kristen pada zaman sekarang ini pergaulan berpacaran mereka menyimpang yaitu berpacaran dengan melakukan perbuatan yang salah misalnya berbuat hal-hal yang melamggar perintah Tuhan yaitu hamil diluar nikah. Tanpa sikap yang jelas dan benar mereka akan memasuki masa prapacaran dengan kebingungan role dan ketidakpastian arah. Bahkan mengisi masa pacaran dengan hal-hal yang merugikan sehingga hasil mereka tidak mempunyai persiapam pernikahan Kristen yang baik dan dapat dipertanggungjawabkan. Remaja melihat dan meninginkan teman lawan jenisnya semata-mata sebagai obyek pemuasan seksuilnya saja. Orientasinya adalah bagian-bagian tubuhnya yang bisa memenuhi kebutuhannya (parts-obyect oriented) dan tidak pada pribadinya secara utuh (total objekt-oriented). Sehingga dalam hal ini gereja makin lama tidak mampu lagi menangani setiap kasus dalam hidup manusia secara khusus bagi anak muda (PPGT). Dan itu berarti makin lama pelayanan dan pemberitaan gereja makin tidak dapat dipraktikkan dalam kehidupan pribadi di jemaatnya. Oleh sebab itu perlunya bimbingan konseling bagi anak muda digereja yang berpotensi mengatasi berbagai persoalan hidup terutama pergaulan bebas (seks) dalam berpacaran yang dapat menghangbat pertumbuhan iman (PPGT). Dalam hal ini, Alkitab dapat menjelaskan bahwa “ketidaknormalan” ini terjadi oleh karena dosa, yaitu rusaknya hubungan dengan Allah. Rusaknya hubungan dengan Allah menyebabkan rusaknya hubungan dengan sesamanya, antara laki-laki dan wanita. Manusia tidak dapat lagi melihat kesatuan antara kebutuhan sexuil dengan kebutuhan sosial. Inilah yang menyebakan tingkah laku sexuil pada phase intimacy (adolescence) pada dasarnya Cuma merupakan gejala dari rangsangan sexual instinctnya, yang mencari pemuasan sesaat dan tidak mempunyai tujuan ke arah intimacy yang sejati yaitu kesatuan antara dua insan yang seutuhnya dalam lembaga pernikaha

Missio-Logoi and Faith: Factors that Influence Attitude Certainty
Authors: Dunaetz David Robert
Published: February 2020

One of the goals of missio-logoi (missionary speech) used by missionaries is the development of faith in the lives of those whom the missionaries serve. From a biblical perspective, faith has both a relational (e.g., John 3:16) and a cognitive dimension (e.g., Hebrews 11:1). This cognitive dimension is similar to what social psychologists call attitude certainty, the degree to which an individual is certain that a particular attitude or belief is true. This study reviews the empirical research conducted to discover the factors that influence attitude certainty. These factors include support for the beliefs by peers, repeated verbal expression of the beliefs, direct experience with the object of belief, and knowledge of how to defend the belief when confronted with strong counter-arguments to the belief. Beliefs and attitudes which are more certain are likely to have more of an impact on an individual’s behavior, are more resistant to persuasion, and persist longer in an individual’s life. Missionaries can thus focus their missio-logoi so as to maximize attitude certainty among the people to whom they minister.

Long-term outcomes of therapist-guided Internet-delivered cognitive behavior therapy for pediatric obsessive-compulsive disorder: A naturalistic one-year follow-up
Authors: Lenhard Fabian , Andersson Erik , Mataix-Cols David , Rück Christian , Aspvall Kristina , Serlachius Eva
Published: February 2020

Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) is the recommended first-line intervention for children and adolescents with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), but is not broadly accessible. Internet-delivered CBT (ICBT) with minimal therapist support is efficacious and cost-effective, at least in the short term. Whether the therapeutic gains of ICBT for OCD are sustained in the long run is unknown. In the current study, 61 adolescents with OCD who participated in a randomized trial of ICBT were followed-up 3 and 12 months after treatment. The proportion of treatment responders and remitters remained stable from post-treatment to 3-month follow-up but significantly increased from 3-month to 12-month follow-ups. This study suggests that the gains of ICBT for youth with OCD are not only maintained long-term, but that further improvements continue to occur during follow-up.

EEG-based model and antidepressant response
Authors: Nilsonne Gustav , Harrell Frank
Published: February 2020

In a recent article, Wu et al.1 presented an electroencephalogram (EEG)-based prediction model for antidepressant treatment response1. Here, we point to limitations in the methods used to define response and to validate the prediction model; specifically that change from baseline Hamilton depression rating scale (HAMD) scores needs to take into account the nonlinearity of response, and that the validation analysis transposed the predictor and the outcome.Wu et al. trained their prediction model on data from the treatment arm of the EMBARC study (n = 109) to predict change in HAMD scores. However, the relationship between HAMD scores at follow-up when compared against baseline is typically extremely nonlinear. This nonlinear relationship is caused by patients with more severe depression (higher HAMD) having much larger improvement than those with less severe depression (lower HAMD). This implies that change from baseline for HAMD is not an appropriate measure. A preferred solution is to fit a proportional odds ordinal logistic model with nonlinear adjustment for baseline scale, using for example restricted cubic splines, with raw HAMD at a fixed time point since baseline as the dependent variable. A more detailed discussion of issues relating with analyzing change from baseline in randomized controlled trials has been presented elsewhere2. Wu et al.1 also tested the model on data from the placebo arm. Finding that the model did not predict improvement, they argued that this suggests the predicted effect is specific to selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). However, an alternative explanation is that the model predictions did not generalize well due to overfitting on the training dataset. Proof of the efficacy of the model hinges on the test of the “antidepressant-predictive signature” in a second independent sample (n = 72). However, in this second dataset, the authors did not test whether the model predicted treatment response. Instead, they tested whether treatment responder status predicted the model prediction of HAMD change. We reanalysed the data to test whether the model predicted treatment response. Data points were estimated from Figure 4 of the paper by Wu et al. using WebPlotDigitizer, resulting in recovery of 71/72 data points. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was estimated using the pROC package3 in R4, yielding an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.67 (95% CI 0.53-0.81) (Figure 1). This case illustrates the general point that validation of predictive models should target the prediction of interest. The model validation by Wu et al. may be said to demonstrate a fallacy of transposition, as they used treatment responder status to predict the model predicted values. Model performance is barely above chance. Together with the uncertainty with respect to what is being predicted when change scores are the target, this suggests that the time has not yet arrived for clinically useful EEG markers for treatment selection in depression.
Does Spending Money on Others Promote Happiness?: A Registered Replication Report
Authors: Aknin Lara Beth , Dunn Elizabeth Warren , Proulx Jason Douglas Edward , Lok Iris , Norton Michael I.
Published: February 2020

Research indicates that spending money on others—prosocial spending—leads to greater happiness than spending money on oneself (e.g., Dunn, Aknin, & Norton, 2008; 2014). These findings have received widespread attention because they offer insight into why people engage in costly prosocial behavior, and what constitutes happier spending more broadly. However, most studies on prosocial spending (like most research on the emotional benefits of generosity) utilized small sample sizes (n<100/cell). In light of new, improved standards for evidentiary value, we conducted high-powered registered replications of the central paradigms used in prosocial spending research. In Experiment 1, 712 students were randomly assigned to make a purchase for themselves or a stranger in need and then reported their happiness. As predicted, participants assigned to engage in prosocial (vs. personal) spending reported greater momentary happiness. In Experiment 2, 1950 adults recalled a time they spent money on themselves or someone else and then reported their current happiness; contrary to predictions, participants in the prosocial spending condition did not report greater happiness than those in the personal spending condition. Because low levels of task engagement may have produced these null results, we conducted a replication with minor changes designed to increase engagement; in this Experiment 3 (N = 5,199), participants who recalled a prosocial (vs. personal) spending memory reported greater happiness but differences were small. Taken together, these studies support the hypothesis that spending money on others does promote happiness, but demonstrate that the magnitude of the effect depends on several methodological features.
Overestimating Reported Prejudice Causes Democrats to Believe Disadvantaged Groups are Less Electable
Authors: Mercier Brett , Celniker Jared , Shariff Azim
Published: February 2020

Four studies show that Democrats overestimate the explicit prejudice reported by the American electorate, leading them to perceive presidential candidates from disadvantaged groups as less electable. Study 1 (MTurk; n = 728) found that Democrats overestimated the percentage of Americans who say they would not vote for presidential candidates from disadvantaged groups. Study 2 (MTurk; n = 597) replicated this finding and demonstrated that Democrats who perceive high levels of explicit prejudice toward a group also believe presidential candidates from that group are less electable. Moreover, Democrats who more frequently interacted with Republicans were more accurate in estimating the amount of explicit prejudice reported by Republicans, Democrats, and Americans in general. Studies 3A (Prolific; n = 930) and 3B (YouGov; n = 747) found that presenting information about true levels of reported prejudice made Democrats believe generic presidential candidates from disadvantaged groups would be more electable. We did not find evidence that information about true levels of reported prejudice affected Democrats’ beliefs about the electability of specific candidates in the 2020 Democratic Primary or their support for these candidates.

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) affects approximately 250,000 Canadians. Although safe and effective (>95% cure rates) antiviral therapies have become available within the past 5 years, chronic HCV infection still remains a major driver of end-stage liver disease and liver transplantation. Both the Canadian Institute for Health Research and the Public Health Agency of Canada recognize the impact of HCV-related liver diseases and support the Canadian Network for Hepatitis C (CanHepC), a National network for the scientific study of hepatitis C that organizes an annual symposium as part of its knowledge translation mandate. At the 8th Canadian Symposium on Hepatitis C Virus in May 2019, basic scientists, clinicians, epidemiologists, social scientists, and community members came together to share their work under the theme of “Improving diagnosis and linkage to care”. This symposium also marked the launch of the Blueprint to inform hepatitis C elimination efforts in Canada, a policy framework that outlines specific targets, suggested activities, and evidence-based best practices to guide provincial, territorial and federal organizations developing their own HCV elimination strategies.

В работе рассмотрены результаты исследований водного баланса и экологических условий

Рыбинского водохранилища в маловодные годы начала 21 века. Для анализа использованы данные Рыбинской ГМО по ежегодному расчету составляющих водного баланса водохранилища и материалы гидрологических и гидробиологических съемок на водохранилище проводимых сотрудниками Института. Показано, что с 2000 по 2017 г.г. в притоке в водохранилище отмечалось два маловодных года (2002 г. и 2014 г.) с объемом годового притока меньше 20 км3 при среднегодовом объеме 32,646 км3. Большой размах колебаний притока приводит к изменению уровней наполнения водохранилища, его объема и росту площадей временного осушения, что оказывает влияние на обитание гидробионтов.

Приводится результаты исследований вегетативного размножение Colchicum autumnale L. в условиях Ташкентского оазиса Клубнелуковицы высаживались на расстоянии 8-10 см. друг от друга, а глубина посадки составляла 10-12 см. Такая глубина заделки клубнелуковиц считается оптимальной для выращивания. Об этом свидетельствуют многолетние интродукционные исследования, а также литературные источники. Рядовая посадка позволить нам своевременно ухаживать за растениями на протяжении всего вегетационного периода. Опыты показали возможность успешного его культивирования в условиях Ташкента. Для изучения влияние почвенных условий на рост и развитие растений опыты были заложены на 2-х (на обычных почвах и с перемещением перегноя или листового перегноя) вариантах.

Выявлено, что почвенные условия положительно влияет на развития растений. У растений, растущих на более благоприятных условиях за счет сохранение почвенной влаги рост и развития растений, а также продолжительность цветения увеличивается на 10-15 дней. Добавление органических удобрений в почву обеспечивает нарастание биомассы клубнелуковиц в 2 раза и больше.

Authors: Chazova I. Yu.
Published: February 2020

The purpose of the study is to analyze thematic sources for assessing the effectiveness of public authorities, determining the choice of an assessment method at the level of individual authorities, analyzing the process of evaluating the effectiveness of managerial activities, as well as identifying problems that arise in the process of determining the effectiveness of government bodies and public civil servants. Consider the performance evaluation of executive bodies of state power and officials on the example of the Udmurt Republic.

In the process, the methods used in economic science were used: general scientific (dialectic, analysis and synthesis, comparison and analogy,); special (systemic, comparative analysis, statistical, experimental).

Result. Determining the choice of an assessment method at the level of individual public authorities is related to the choice of methods for assessing the effectiveness of civil service as a whole at the federal level. Specific indicators of the effectiveness and efficiency of activities have been identified, allowing to assess the level of achievement of the tasks of state authorities of the Udmurt Republic, depending on the industry and the specifics of the activity. The mechanism for the formation of specific indicators allows us to determine strategic indicators for the development of public administration, based on current priorities and their specification in the next calendar year. The application of the methodology for assessing the effectiveness of the executive bodies of state power of the Udmurt Republic, as well as the adoption of the Decree and order of the Head of the Udmurt Republic, will contribute to increasing the efficiency of the activities of executive bodies of state power.

Conclusions. Taking into account the analysis of thematic sources for assessing the effectiveness of the activities of state authorities, it can be concluded that the effectiveness of public administration contains a combination of various results of managerial activity, both in the state and in the public sphere. Efficiency assessment indicators cover almost all spheres of activity of executive bodies of state power of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation and include a significant number of economic criteria. In addition to quantitative statistical indicators, special attention is paid to qualitative indicators, the assessment of which should be given by the population of the region. Only a comprehensive performance assessment allows you to get complete and reliable information about the quality of public administration in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation

Introduction: Kawasaki disease is an acute vasculitis of unknown etiology. The epidemiological data available for Nepal remains insufficient. In Nepal, Kawasaki disease has only been reported in cases of brief reports, leaving the true disease burden unknown. Many cases go undiagnosed and untreated due to a lack of knowledge regarding this entity. The objective of this study was to find the prevalence of Kawasaki disease in a tertiary care hospital.

Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out in a tertiary care hospital of Nepal from 2013 to 2018 after taking ethical approval from the Institutional Review Committee. The sample size was calculated and the consecutive sampling method was done. Data collection and entry was done in Microsoft Excel, point estimate at 99% Confidence Interval was calculated along with frequency and proportion for binary data.

Results: The overall prevalence of Kawasaki disease was found to be 0.1% among 11,416 patients under the age of 5 years admitted in pediatrics ward. There were 4 (33.33%) cases of complete Kawasaki and 8 (66.67%) cases of incomplete Kawasaki. There were 9 (75%) males and 3 (25%) females and the male to female ratio was 3:1. There was a male preponderance. The age at diagnosis ranged between 4 and 60 months. The median age at diagnosis was 10.5 months. The most common presentation was fever, conjunctivitis, rash, and oral changes.

Conclusions: Prevalence of Kawasaki disease was found to be lesser compared to other studies done in other countries. Knowledge of Kawasaki disease among Nepalese pediatricians should be enhanced to guarantee the appropriate diagnosis and treatment of this disease.
