Authors: Pagen Linda H.G. , Smeets Tom , Schmiedek Lisa , Yassa Michael A. , Verhey Frans R.J. , Jacobs Heidi I.L.
Published: March 2021

Background: Reductions in memory practice effects have gained interest as risk factor for future cognitive decline. Practice effects vary with age and can be moderated by factors such as individual variability in arousal or stress experience acting as an additional cognitive load. Objective: In the current pilot study, we examined whether sympathetic nervous system activation moderates the relationship between age and practice effects. Methods: Thirty cognitively healthy individuals aged 40–70 years performed a mnemonic discrimination task twice. Salivary alpha amylase (sAA) samples were obtained at different time points as a proxy of sympathetic activity. Spearman correlations examined the relation between practice effects and sAA. Subsequently, age by sAA interactions on practice scores were explored with bootstrapped linear regression models. Additionally, participants were divided in learners (exhibiting practice effects) and non-learners based on the difference in mnemonic discrimination performance. Results: Higher age and baseline SNS activity were independently related to lower practice effects. The non-learners showed significantly higher sAA scores at all time points compared to learners. Among the learners, baseline-adjusted lower levels of sAA after encoding were associated with greater practice effects, particularly in middle-aged individuals. No such interaction was observed for non-learners. Conclusion: These results show that higher baseline sympathetic activation is associated with worse practice effects independently of age. Additionally, in a subgroup of middle-aged learners practice effects were observed when sympathetic activity remained low during learning. These findings suggest that elevated sympathetic nervous system activation may be a promising indicator of imminent cognitive decline.

Published: March 2021

Background: Wealth and income are potential modifiable risk factors for dementia, but whether wealth status, which is composed of a combination of debt and poverty, and assessed by wealth and income, is associated with cognitive impairment among elderly adults remains unknown. Objective: To examine the associations of different combinations of debt and poverty with the incidence of dementia and cognitive impairment without dementia (CIND) and to evaluate the mediating role of depression in these relationships. Methods: We included 15,565 participants aged 51 years or older from the Health and Retirement Study (1992–2012) who were free of CIND and dementia at baseline. Dementia and CIND were assessed using either the modified Telephone Interview for Cognitive Status (mTICS) or a proxy assessment. Cox models with time-dependent covariates and mediation analysis were used. Results: During a median of 14.4 years of follow-up, 4,484 participants experienced CIND and 1,774 were diagnosed with dementia. Both debt and poverty were independently associated with increased dementia and CIND risks, and the risks were augmented when both debt and poverty were present together (the hazard ratios [95% confidence intervals] were 1.35 [1.08–1.70] and 1.96 [1.48–2.60] for CIND and dementia, respectively). The associations between different wealth statuses and cognition were partially (mediation ratio range: 11.8–29.7%) mediated by depression. Conclusion: Debt and poverty were associated with an increased risk of dementia and CIND, and these associations were partially mediated by depression. Alleviating poverty and debt may be effective for improving mental health and therefore curbing the risk of cognitive impairment and dementia.

Background: Longitudinal changes in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers are seldom studied. Furthermore, data on biomarker gradient between lumbar (L-) and ventricular (V-) compartments seems to be discordant. Objective: To examine alteration of CSF biomarkers reflecting Alzheimer’s disease (AD)-related amyloid-β (Aβ) aggregation, tau pathology, neurodegeneration, and early synaptic degeneration by CSF shunt surgery in idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) in relation to AD-related changes in brain biopsy. In addition, biomarker levels in L- and V-CSF were compared. Methods: L-CSF was collected prior to shunt placement and, together with V-CSF, 3–73 months after surgery. Thereafter, additional CSF sampling took place at 3, 6, and 18 months after the baseline sample from 26 iNPH patients with confirmed Aβ plaques in frontal cortical brain biopsy and 13 iNPH patients without Aβ pathology. CSF Amyloid-β42 (Aβ42), total tau (T-tau), phosphorylated tau (P-tau181), neurofilament light (NFL), and neurogranin (NRGN) were analyzed with customized ELISAs. Results: All biomarkers but Aβ42 increased notably by 140–810% in L-CSF after CSF diversion and then stabilized. Aβ42 instead showed divergent longitudinal decrease between Aβ-positive and -negative patients in L-CSF, and thereafter increase in Aβ-negative iNPH patients in both L- and V-CSF. All five biomarkers correlated highly between V-CSF and L-CSF (Aβ42 R = 0.87, T-tau R = 0.83, P-tau R = 0.92, NFL R = 0.94, NRGN R = 0.9; all p < 0.0001) but were systematically lower in V-CSF (Aβ42 14 %, T-tau 22%, P-tau 20%, NFL 32%, NRGN 19%). With APOE genotype-grouping, only Aβ42 showed higher concentration in non-carriers of allele ɛ4. Conclusion: Longitudinal follow up shows that after an initial post-surgery increase, T-tau, P-tau, and NRGN are stable in iNPH patients regardless of brain biopsy Aβ pathology, while NFL normalized toward its pre-shunt levels. Aβ42 as biomarker seems to be the least affected by the surgical procedure or shunt and may be the best predictor of AD risk in iNPH patients. All biomarker concentrations were lower in V- than L-CSF yet showing strong correlations.

Authors: Zhao Dongmei , Song Huiqian , Li Hong
Published: March 2021

The element extraction from network security condition is the foundation security awareness. Its excellence directly disturbsentire security system performance. In this paper we introduce fuzzy logic based rough set theory for extracting security conditional factors. The traditional extraction method of network security situation elements relies on a lot of prior knowledge. With the purpose of solving this issue, in this paper we proposed fuzzy rough set theory based featurerank matrix of neighborhood rough set. Additionally, we propose reduction based parallel algorithm that uses the concept of conditional entropy in order to constructs the feature rank matrix as well as, constructs the core attribute by using reduction rules, takes the threshold of standard deviation as the threshold, and redefines the multi threshold neighborhood of mixed data. The attack type recognition training is carried out on lib SVM, filtered classifier, j48 and random tree classifiers respectively. The results demonstrate that the proposed reduction based parallel algorithm can increase the accuracy of classification, shorten the modeling time, and show increased recall rate and decreased false alarm rate.
Fuzzy based association between China’s service industry and downstream manufacturing industry with liberalization effects
Authors: Yang Ling , Li Linyue
Published: March 2021

In this work, we study the impact of China’s services sector liberalization reform on the country’s manufacturing sector. In this paper we propose Fuzzy based association between service industry and Manufacturing Industry with performance evaluation of Manufacturing Industry based on different performance criteria. The results analysis of proposed work suggest that there is: a extremely important and constructive relationship between the existence of reserved services suppliers and the efficiency of downstream manufacturing companies; a constructive (yet unsteady) relationship between the existence of overseas services suppliers and manufacturing efficiency; and a important and adverse relationship between the extent of state-owned services providers and manufacturing productivity. Curiously, our results also suggest that given the unstable association between the presence of foreign services providers and manufacturing performance, overall imported services (including foreign services providers operating in China) have a highly significant and positive association with manufacturing productivity. In addition, taking into account firm heterogeneity, such as AI (artificial intelligence), our results suggest that there is no difference in the above effects of China’s services sector’s liberalization between those manufacturing firms that engage in importing and exporting and the manufacturing firms that do not.

Published: March 2021

Nowadays, improvement in power system performance is essential to obtaine economic and technical benifits. To achieve this, optimize the large number of parameters in the system based on optimal power flow(OPF). For solving OPF problem efficiently, it needs robust and fast optimization techniques. This paper proposes the application of a newly developed hybrid Whale and Sine Cosine optimization algorithm to solve the OPF. It has been implemented for optimization of the control variables. The reduction of true power generation cost, emission, true power losses, and voltage deviation are considered as different objectives. The hybrid Whale and Sine Cosine optimization is validated by solving OPF problem with various intentions using IEEE30 bus system. To varidate the proposed technique, the results obtained from this are compared with other methods in the literature. The robustness achieved with the proposed algorithm has been analyzed for the considered OPF problem using statistical analysis and whisker plots.
Fuzzified time-frequency method for identification and localization of power system faults
Authors: Srikanth Pullabhatla , Koley Chiranjib
Published: March 2021

In this work, different types of power system faults at various distances have been identified using a novel approach based on Discrete S-Transform clubbed with a Fuzzy decision box. The area under the maximum values of the dilated Gaussian windows in the time-frequency domain has been used as the critical input values to the fuzzy machine. In this work, IEEE-9 and IEEE-14 bus systems have been considered as the test systems for validating the proposed methodology for identification and localization of Power System Faults. The proposed algorithm can identify different power system faults like Asymmetrical Phase Faults, Asymmetrical Ground Faults, and Symmetrical Phase faults, occurring at 20% to 80% of the transmission line. The study reveals that the variation in distance and type of fault creates a change in time-frequency magnitude in a unique pattern. The method can identify and locate the faulted bus with high accuracy in comparison to SVM.
HGAN: Hybrid generative adversarial network
Authors: Iranmanesh Seyed Mehdi , Nasrabadi Nasser M.
Published: March 2021

In this paper, we present a simple approach to train Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) in order to avoid a mode collapse issue. Implicit models such as GANs tend to generate better samples compared to explicit models that are trained on tractable data likelihood. However, GANs overlook the explicit data density characteristics which leads to undesirable quantitative evaluations and mode collapse. To bridge this gap, we propose a hybrid generative adversarial network (HGAN) for which we can enforce data density estimation via an autoregressive model and support both adversarial and likelihood framework in a joint training manner which diversify the estimated density in order to cover different modes. We propose to use an adversarial network to transfer knowledge from an autoregressive model (teacher) to the generator (student) of a GAN model. A novel deep architecture within the GAN formulation is developed to adversarially distill the autoregressive model information in addition to simple GAN training approach. We conduct extensive experiments on real-world datasets (i.e., MNIST, CIFAR-10, STL-10) to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed HGAN under qualitative and quantitative evaluations. The experimental results show the superiority and competitiveness of our method compared to the baselines.

This paper first describes a characterization of a lattice L which can be represented as the collection of all up-sets of a poset. It then obtains a representation of a complete distributive lattice L0 which can be embedded into the lattice L such that all infima, suprema, the top and bottom elements are preserved under the embedding by defining a monotonic operator on a poset. This paper finally studies the algebraic characterization of a finite distributive.
Modelling and analysis of uncertain hub maximal covering location problem in the presence of partial coverage
Authors: Wang Junbin , Qin Zhongfeng
Published: March 2021

The hub maximal covering location problem aims to find the best locations for hubs so as to maximize the total flows covered by predetermined number of hubs. Generally, this problem is defined in the framework of binary coverage. However, there are many real-life cases in which the binary coverage assumption may yield unexpected decisions. Thus, the partial coverage is considered by stipulating that the coverage of an origin-destination pair is determined by a non-increasing decay function. Moreover, as this problem contains strategic decisions in long range, the precise information about the parameters such as travel times may not be obtained in advance. Therefore, we present uncertain hub maximal covering location models with partial coverage in which the travel times are depicted as uncertain variables. Specifically, the partial coverage parameter is introduced in uncertain environment and the expected value of partial coverage parameter is further derived and simplified with specific decay functions. Expected value model and chance constrained programming model are respectively proposed and transformed to their deterministic equivalent forms. Finally, a greedy variable neighborhood search heuristic is presented and the efficiency of the proposed models is evaluated through computational experiments.

Authors: Kurt Merve , Şimşek Tülay Tarsuslu
Published: March 2021

PURPOSE: Assessing motivation and motivation-related factors will contribute to a better understanding of motivation and the development of optimal rehabilitation conditions. The purpose of this study was to determine the motivation level and investigate the relationship of motivation level with socio-demographic characteristics (i.e., age, gender, comorbidities), functional level, and family satisfaction with rehabilitation centers in children with disabilities. METHODS: Sixty-two children with disabilities were included in the study, and the socio-demographic characteristics were recorded. Children were assessed by the Pediatric Motivation Scale (PMOT) and the Pediatric Functional Independence Measure (WeeFIM). Also, parents were asked to complete a questionnaire titled, “A patient satisfaction instrument for outpatient physical therapy clinics.” RESULTS: The mean age of the children was 12.16 ± 3.19 years. Total PMOT and WeeFIM scores were found to be 93.71 ± 9.66 and 108.23 ± 22.14, respectively. There was a positive correlation between children’s PMOT score and the satisfaction score of their families that was statistically significant (r= 0.602, p< 0.05). CONCLUSION: The level of family satisfaction with rehabilitation centers was found to be positively correlated with the motivation level of children. Improving family satisfaction with rehabilitation centers, potentially through modifying the physical conditions of rehabilitation centers and focusing on the interest of the family, may increase the motivation level of children, and thus may improve rehabilitation outcomes.
Estimation of a nonlinear functional from the probability density when optimizing nonparametric decision functions
Authors: Lapko Aleksandr V. , Lapko Vasiliy A.
Published: March 2021

A method for estimating the nonlinear functional of the probability density of a two-dimensional random variable is proposed. It is relevant when implementing procedures for fast bandwidths selection in the problem of optimization of kernel probability density estimates. The solution of this problem allows to significantly improve the computational efficiency of nonparametric decision rules. The basis of the proposed approach is the analysis of the formula for the optimal bandwidth of the kernel probability density estimation. In this case, the bandwidth of kernel functions is represented as the product of an indeterminate parameter and the average square deviations of random variables. The main component of an undefined parameter is a nonlinear functional of the probability density. The considered functional is determined by the type of probability density and does not depend on the density parameters. For a family of two-dimensional lognormal laws of distribution of independent random variables, the approximation errors of the considered nonlinear functional from the probability density are determined. The possibility of applying the proposed methodology when evaluating nonlinear functionals of probability densities that differ from the lognormal distribution laws is investigated. An analysis is made of the effect of the resulting approximation errors on the root-mean-square criteria for restoring a non-parametric estimate of the probability density of a two-dimensional random variable.

The enormous needs in ensuring the measurement of the hydrogen index in various industries and the national economy of Russia make the measurement of the hydrogen index one of the most important methods for monitoring aqueous media. In 2013, work was carried out to enter into the State Register of Measuring Instruments of the Russian Federation a buffer solution and a standard titer with a pH value of 7.00 – a working pH standard of the 2nd category, which is one of the most demanded of non-standard solutions for verification and calibration pH measuring instruments. To confirm the metrological characteristics, pilot comparisons were organized within COOMET. This article presents the results of a pilot comparison to determine the pH of a phosphate buffer solution – a working standard of рН=7.00. 8 metrological institutes and 10 metrological organizations took part in the comparisons. The results obtained showed that the overwhelming majority of the participants in the comparisons presented the results of pH measurements, which have an uncertainty not exceeding ±0.03 of the average value, which is an acceptable criterion for measuring the pH.

This article analyzes a particular corpus of theater-perfor- mance: Prometheus chained according to Alberto Kurapel, a work released on March 11, 1988 in the Exile Space, Montreal, Canada and published in 1989 by the Humanitas publishing house. From the photographic images and the video of its staging, this analysis focuses attention on the body - on its various constructions / presentations - and on sound understood as a space / body that reveals another reality. Bodies that denote a dis- location caused by the notion of exile, since the actor-performer is the entity in charge of recovering memory in the utopian body of the scene, unraveling its meanings and showing its symbolic depth. The study at- tempts to answer the question: how is the historical memory of exile in Alberto Kurapel's Prometheus constructed with body and sound?
Câncer na Mídia: uma Questão de Saúde Pública
Authors: Castro Regina
Published: March 2021

O estudo aborda o câncer na mídia. É baseado na hipótese de que, há 10 anos, o câncer era considerado pela imprensa como um problema de interesse apenas de uma parcela da população. Atualmente, a partir de ações de comunicação do Instituto Nacional de Câncer (INCA) e das diversas instâncias envolvidas na questão, o câncer já seria considerado como uma questão de saúde pública. Assim, de forma a contribuir para guiar as ações de Comunicações no Instituto, seria importante checar se a percepção da imprensa sobre o câncer estaria em consonância com atual política do Ministério da Saúde. Essa política considera o câncer como uma questão de saúde pública. Também era necessário investigar a importância que a imprensa dá ao tema e se a cobertura da mídia em relação ao assunto evoluiu. Com esse objetivo, foram entrevistados 13 jornalistas dos principais meios de comunicação do país, todos com experiência na área de saúde. Paralelamente, foram analisadas 360 matérias publicadas em alguns dos mais importantes jornais e revistas do país, nos períodos de junho de 1997 a julho de 1998, e junho de 2006 a julho de 2007.

Eventos vasculares (EV) venosos são frequentes durante o tratamento quimioterápico. Os EV arteriais são incomuns e podem ser graves se não diagnosticados e tratados corretamente. Os autores descrevem três casos incomuns de síndromes coronarianas agudas diagnosticadas durante a quimioterapia. O paciente 1, com tumor de células germinativas de testículo, não apresentava nenhum fator de risco para doença coronariana e tinha apenas 27 anos, no entanto, apresentou uma parada cardiorrespiratória com diagnóstico post-mortem de infarto agudo do miocárdio (IAM). O paciente 2, com adenocarcinoma de pulmão, era ex-tabagista, apresentava uma história familiar de coronariopatia e apresentou um IAM durante o segundo ciclo de gencitabina e cisplatina. O paciente 3, com diagnóstico de carcinoma de células escamosas de tonsila palatina direita, apresentou três eventos vasculares maiores durante o tratamento com 5-fluorouracil e cisplatina. Era hipertenso, diabético e ex-tabagista. A quimioterapia, especialmente quando utilizada a cisplatina, pode estar relacionada com eventos coronarianos agudos.
Understanding the Lack of Team Identification Research in Women’s Sport
Authors: Delia Elizabeth B. , Katz Matthew , Armstrong Cole G.
Published: March 2021

Abstract: For decades, scholars have sought to understand individuals’ identification with sport teams. As a result, we have great knowledge of how team identification influences a variety of attitudinal and behavioral outcomes as well as the impact of identifying with a team on an individual’s sense of self. However, nearly all studies of team identification have dealt with men’s sport rather than women’s sport. The authors addressed this issue in the current study by using the Delphi technique to solicit expert opinion on the lack of team identification research in women’s sport, including reasons for the lack of research, the extent to which context matters in studying team identification, and potential contributions to the team identification literature by examining the concept in women’s sport settings. The authors conclude by discussing experts’ opinions, the extent to which some views may underpin the lack of research, and implications for future studies of team identification.

However, nearly all studies of team identification have dealt with men’s sport rather than women’s sport. The authors addressed this issue in the current study by using the Delphi technique to solicit expert opinion on the lack of team identification research in women’s sport, including reasons for the lack of research, the extent to which context matters in studying team identification, and potential contributions to the team identification literature by examining the concept in women’s sport settings. The authors conclude by discussing experts’ opinions, the extent to which some views may underpin the lack of research, and implications for future studies of team identification.

La malaria è una malattia mondiale che causa un elevato numero di decessi. È causato dal morso della zanzara Anopholes infettata dal protozoo parassita del genere Plasmodium. Lo scopo di questo articolo è di mostrare il numero di casi confermati di malaria in Brasile, per quanto riguarda gli anni di conferma, il gruppo di età e la notifica regione, tra gli anni dal 2011 al 2015. Dati tratti dal dipartimento IT di SUS, DATASUS e da articoli. Si è registrato un calo nel numero del periodo citato, le persone di età compresa tra i 20 ei 39 anni, seguito dal gruppo tra i 49 ei 59 anni, il maggior numero di casi si è verificato con persone di sesso maschile, il maggior numero di casi si sono verificati con persone di razza bianca seguite da marroni, il numero più alto di casi per scolarizzazione è sconosciuto dove è nota l’istruzione, i numeri più alti sono con persone di scuola media superiore, seguiti da persone con istruzione superiore completa, il numero più alto di casi si è verificato in un’area urbana, la regione sud-orientale ha il maggior numero di casi confermati di malaria nel periodo, il maggior numero di casi si è verificato nello stato della Rondônia. Si è concluso che le campagne hanno avuto un’influenza sulla società e hanno collaborato alla riduzione del numero di malattie trasmissibili come la malaria. Gli uomini lavorano in aree a maggior rischio di contaminazione e in luoghi di proliferazione di vettori, quindi sono più esposti ad aree di proliferazione e contagio da zanzare. In Brasile la maggioranza della popolazione è riconosciuta rispettivamente come bianca e marrone, quindi i numeri mostrano queste etnie come le più infette. La zanzara sembra proliferare più facilmente nei luoghi in cui ci sono stati cambiamenti causati dall’uomo. L’ambiente urbano, essendo un luogo estremamente modificato, causa un maggior numero di casi a causa della maggiore disponibilità di siti di riproduzione. Si ritiene che per questo motivo la regione sudorientale abbia un maggior numero di casi e perché è anche una delle regioni del Paese che ha subito i maggiori mutamenti da parte dell’uomo. L’apertura delle autostrade e l’aumento degli insediamenti facilitano il contatto tra le zanzare e l’uomo. Lo stato di Rondônia ha un gran numero di insediamenti e disboscamento per favorire il progresso.

From the results of the analysis based on calculations that have been carried out on the financial statements of PT Express Transindo Utama (TAXI) Tbk in 2015 and 2016 the company is included in the gray area category because the Z-score shows a value of 1.1 <Z <2.6. But in 2017 and 2018 the Z-score shows a Z value <1.1, so the company is in the bankrupt category or the company is experiencing serious financial problems.

Published: March 2021

Background

Habits and behaviors in everyday life currently need to be modified as quickly as possible due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Two of the most effective tools to prevent infection seem to be regular and thorough hand-washing and physical distancing during interpersonal interactions.

Method

Two hundred and eighty-four participants completed a short survey to investigate how previous habits regarding hand-washing and physical distancing have changed in the general population as a function of the current pandemic and the thereby increased information and constant recommendations regarding these behaviors.

Results

Participants aged 51 and older reported a greater change in everyday hand-washing behavior than younger participants. In addition, participants aged 31 and older selected significantly greater distances to have a conversation than younger participants. However, that was not the case if participants had to actively stop their conversational partner from approaching.

Conclusion

Participants aged 51 years and older seem to be well aware of their at-risk status during the current pandemic and might therefore be willing to change their behavior more strongly than younger survey participants. Nevertheless, they seem to struggle with enforcing the current rules towards others. The group aged between 31 and 50 years, however, reports a comparable level of fear, but no corresponding change in hand-washing behavior. Future surveys should try to provide more insight into why this might be the case.

Background

Prolonged grief disorder (PGD) is a new disorder included in the 11th edition of the International classification of diseases (ICD-11). An important remit of the new ICD-11 is the global applicability of the mental health disorder guidelines or definitions. Although previous definitions and descriptions of disordered grief have been assessed worldwide, this new definition has not yet been systematically validated.

Method

Here we assess the validity and applicability of core items of the ICD-11 PGD across five international samples of bereaved persons from Switzerland (N = 214), China (N = 325); Israel (N = 544), Portugal (N = 218) and Ireland (N = 830).

Results

The results confirm that variation in the diagnostic algorithm for PGD can greatly impact the rates of disorder within and between international samples. Different predictors of PGD severity may be related to sample differences. Finally, a threshold for diagnosis of clinically relevant PGD symptoms using a new scale, the International Prolonged Grief Disorder Scale (IPGDS), in three samples was confirmed.

Conclusions

Although this study was limited by lack of questionnaire data points across all five samples, the findings for the diagnostic threshold and algorithm iterations have implications for clinical use of the new ICD-11 PGD criteria worldwide.
