Published: September 2022

Background

To better understand domestic violence, data sources from multiple sectors such as police, justice, health, and welfare are needed. Linking police data to data collections from other agencies could provide unique insights and promote an all-of-government response to domestic violence. The New South Wales Police Force attends domestic violence events and records information in the form of both structured data and a free-text narrative, with the latter shown to be a rich source of information on the mental health status of persons of interest (POIs) and victims, abuse types, and sustained injuries.

Objective

This study aims to examine the concordance (ie, matching) between mental illness mentions extracted from the police’s event narratives and mental health diagnoses from hospital and emergency department records.

Methods

We applied a rule-based text mining method on 416,441 domestic violence police event narratives between December 2005 and January 2016 to identify mental illness mentions for POIs and victims. Using different window periods (1, 3, 6, and 12 months) before and after a domestic violence event, we linked the extracted mental illness mentions of victims and POIs to clinical records from the Emergency Department Data Collection and the Admitted Patient Data Collection in New South Wales, Australia using a unique identifier for each individual in the same cohort.

Results

Using a 2-year window period (ie, 12 months before and after the domestic violence event), less than 1% (3020/416,441, 0.73%) of events had a mental illness mention and also a corresponding hospital record. About 16% of domestic violence events for both POIs (382/2395, 15.95%) and victims (101/631, 16.01%) had an agreement between hospital records and police narrative mentions of mental illness. A total of 51,025/416,441 (12.25%) events for POIs and 14,802/416,441 (3.55%) events for victims had mental illness mentions in their narratives but no hospital record. Only 841 events for POIs and 919 events for victims had a documented hospital record within 48 hours of the domestic violence event.

Conclusions

Our findings suggest that current surveillance systems used to report on domestic violence may be enhanced by accessing rich information (ie, mental illness) contained in police text narratives, made available for both POIs and victims through the application of text mining. Additional insights can be gained by linkage to other health and welfare data collections.
Personalized Progressive Federated Learning with Leveraging Client-Specific Vertical Features: Model Development and Validation (Preprint)
Authors: Kim Tae Hyun , Jang Won Seok , Heo Sun Cheol , Park Yu Rang
Published: September 2022

BACKGROUND

Federated learning (FL) is used to build models across distributed clients. Personalized federated learning (PFL) focuses on the training of personalized models for adaptation to diverse data distributions among clients. Horizontal federated learning (HFL) enables clients to train a global model based on distributed samples of the same feature space, whereas vertical federated learning (VFL) enables clients to train a global model based on the distributed features of the same sample. However, conventional HFL cannot leverage vertically partitioned features to increase the model complexity, and VFL requires all clients to share many overlapping sample-ids.

OBJECTIVE

In this study, we propose a personalized progressive federated learning (PPFL) model, a multi-model PFL approach that allows the leveraging of vertically partitioned client-specific features that can vary from client to client.

METHODS

PPFL personalizes the FL model by leveraging client-specific vertical features. PPFL’s performance was evaluated using two datasets: the Physionet Challenges 2012 dataset and a real-world dataset composed of eICU data and Highly Intensive Care Unit (HICU) data from Severance Hospital, Seoul, South Korea. Using these two datasets, we compared the performance and explainability of in-hospital mortality and length of stay task prediction between our model and the FedAvg and local models based on the model's accuracy and Area Under ROC curve (AUROC). We also compared the loss of the prediction task on in-hospital mortality during PPFL training with transfer learning to evaluate the effect of personalization mechanisms on PPFL.

RESULTS

The PPFL showed 0.867 accuracy and 0.807 AUROC, which are the highest scores compared to client-specific local models and FedAvg algorithms in the in-hospital mortality prediction task. In the length of stay prediction task, PPFL also showed an AUROC of 0.873. This is also the highest score among the compared models. Among common features, age and usage of mechanical ventilation features showed high SHAP values of 0.5 or more and 0.3 or more, respectively, and among vertical features, features related to vital sign (Glasgow Coma Scale, heart rate and oxygen) showed high SHapley Additive exPlanations values. Compared to transfer learning, PPFL showed higher learning performance by manifesting a stable decrease in the loss rate during training. Finally, PPFL achieved an AUROC of 0.955, the highest score compared to FedAvg and other local models in real-world data settings.

CONCLUSIONS

We proposed the PPFL algorithm to personalize federated algorithms for heterogeneously distributed clients and expand the feature space for client-specific vertical feature information. PPFL allows the integration of common globally learned common information and client-specific vertical information to achieve personalized inference while building a robust model.
Pengaruh Tegakan Sengon (Paraserianthes falcataria L.) terhadap Kandungan C, N Tanah dan Produktivitas Buah Perkebunan Salak
Authors: Handayani Diah Ayuretnani
Published: September 2022

Perbedaan sistem tanam agroforestri dengan monokultur ialah adanya masukan bahan organik dari tegakan yang menaungi maupun dari akar. Penelitian dilakukan untuk mengetahui pengaruh penanaman tegakan sengon terhadap kondisi mikro-klimatik, kandungan hara berupa C dan N, serta mengetahui pengaruhnya terhadap produktivitas buah pada tanaman salak. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode observasi dan dilaksanakan di perkebunan salak Dusun Gadung, Desa Bangunkerto, Turi. Pengukuran dilakukan pada lahan monokultur salak (kontrol), lahan dengan sistem agroforestri tengah (AFT), dan lahan dengan sistem agroforestri samping (AFS). Pengukuran unsur hara tanah C dan N dilakukan sekali pada ketiga lahan dengan cara komposit diagonal. Analisis yang digunakan ialah analisis deskriptif dan regresi linear antara nilai hara tanah dengan jenis perlakuan dan produktivitas. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa tegakan sengon pada perkebunan salak memberikan pengaruh pada kondisi mikro-klimatik lahan menjadi lebih tertutup. Selain itu, lahan AFT memiliki kandungan C dan N tertinggi masing-masing adalah 1,7% dan 0,1%. Hasil produktivitas pada lahan monokultur memiliki hasil tertinggi 1150 kg/ha tidak berbeda nyata dengan lahan AFT dan AFS yaitu masing-masing 1.085 dan 1.035 kg/ha. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa pola tanam AFT dan AFS antara sengon dan salak meningkatkan ketersediaan hara tanah khususnya C dan N, tetapi tidak memiliki pengaruh signifikan pada produktivitas buah salak.

Authors: Hendar Hendar , Astuti Endang Dwi , Pudjiastuti Sri Hindah
Published: September 2022

This study aims to empirically develop and evaluate the role of customer participation, customer ethical perception, and social support in creating value co-creation intention and repurchase intention for SEP customers in Indonesia. The theoretical model regarding the creation of value co-creation and repurchase intention is built based on a theory of planned behavior and literature on value co-creation, customer participation, marketing ethics, and social support. Therefore, using structural equation modeling, 376 empirical data for customers over 15 years old were analyzed. The results reveal that customer participation and ethical perception affect value co-creation intention, while social support does not. In addition, customer participation, ethical perception, SS, and value co-creation intention affect repurchase intention. Value co-creation intention becomes a partial mediator in the relationship between customer participation, customer ethical perception, and repurchase intention. Meanwhile, value co-creation intention cannot be a mediator in the relationship between social support and repurchase intention. This study contributes to the sharing economy literature by providing a holistic antecedent value co-creation intention model. Besides, it also offers important insights for SEP managers.

Published: September 2022

Starting in September 2007, 10 Innovation Cities were created across the country. Although there are positive evaluations of them in terms of enhancing balanced national development and vitality of the local cities, there are also criticisms on living or business environment. It is necessary to monitor the phenomena occurring in the Innovation City and find the customized revitalization strategies. This study analyzed the floating population and self-sufficiency of Gyeongnam Innovation City. The floating population between surrounding regions and Innovation City was analyzed by dividing it into the whole country, Gyeongnam, and Jinju. As a result, there was a large amount of inflow from the Seoul metropolitan area and the large cities in the Dongnam area. In Gyeongnam, the outflow was higher than the inflow. In Jinju, to which Gyeongnam Innovation City belongs, accounted for more than 80% of inflow and outflow. The amount of inflow and outflow in Jinju was large in Eup, Myeon, and Dong adjacent to Gyeongnam Innovation City. In addition, it was found that there were more inflows and outflows in the afternoon than in the morning and on weekend than on weekdays. The job-housing ratio was 0.789, the internal employment ratio was 0.836, and the self-sufficiency index was 2.245, indicating high self-sufficiency. As the number of jobs increased due to the creation of the innovation city, the number of economically active population and the number of jobs were balanced. However, in order to further increase the rate of relocation with families, it is necessary to reinforce support measures such as the creation of higher level of education and better living environment, and economic support.

Authors: Wei Wu , Ba Jin , Zhao Lun , Xiao Gang , Xie Maozhao
Published: September 2022

In liquid rocket engines or internal combustion engines, increasing the inlet fuels temperature or chamber pressure exceeding its critical point is capable of improving the combustion efficiency. Under these conditions, the thermophysical and transport properties have an important effect on fluids mixing and combustion process. In this study, the fuel of n-heptane injected into a multi-species environment are simulated by large eddy simulations and the performance of the injected fuel temperature and different chamber conditions are compared in con-junction with high accuracy equation of state and transport properties. The results show that as the injected temperature or the chamber pressure increase, the penetration length and density gradient decrease, while the width of mixing layer increase. The results obtained in this investigation indicated that for the single injection condition, by increasing the fuel inlet temperature or chamber pressure, the essence is to reduce the initial density ratio, thereby reducing the density stratification between the jet and environment gas, which is beneficial to the jet mixing and combustion process.
Heat transfer enhancement in an inclined solar collector using partially driven cold wall and carbon nanotubes based nanofluid
Authors: Maatki Chemseddine , Almeshaal Mohammed , Kolsi Lioua
Published: September 2022

In order to improve the performance of a solar collector in low heat transfer rate zones, a 3-D numerical study of the effects of partially moving wall sections and the use of a water nanofluid (CNT) in a tilted parallelepiped solar collector was performed. Equations governing the mixed convection phenomena occurring in the cavity are developed based on the 3-D potential-vorticity formulation and solved using the finite volume method. Two cases related to the direction of the moving surfaces are considered and compared to the base case (no driven walls). The results are presented in term of flow structures, temperature fields and local and average Nusselt numbers. The Richardson number is varied from 0.001 to 10 and the CNT volume fraction from 0 to 0.045. The results showed that for low Richardson values (less than 1), the motion direction of the moving surfaces has no significant effect on heat transfer rates and becomes effective for higher values. The highest rates of heat transfer are found for high Richardson values and CNT volume fractions, while the enhancement ratio (compared to the base case) occurs for low Richardson values.

Published: September 2022

Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is the leading cause of end-stage renal disease. Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) is a network structure composed of loose chromatin and embedded with multiple proteins. Here, we observed increased NETs deposition in the glomeruli of DKD patients and diabetic mice (streptozotocin-induced or db/db mice). After degrading NETs with DNase I, diabetic mice exhibited attenuated glomerulopathy and glomerular endothelial cells (GECs) injury. We also observed alleviated glomerulopathy and GECs injury in peptidylarginine deiminase 4 (PAD4)-knockout mice with streptozotocin-induced diabetes. In vitro, NET-induced GECs pyroptosis was characterized by pore formation in the cell membrane, dysregulation of multiple genes involved in cell membrane function, and increased expression of pyroptosis-related proteins. Strengthening the GECs surface charge by oleylamine significantly inhibited NETs-induced GECs pyroptosis. These findings suggest that the GECs charge related pyroptosis is involved in DKD progression which promoted by NETs.

Published: September 2022

Lack of security measures for cybersecurity threat is somewhat vulnerable and can even put one’s digital life at high risk of phishing attack which is so alarming nowadays. Perpetrators may even use fictitious personal information to infiltrate various institutions for their malicious acts. It is the aim of this paper to present a security measure for a safe data transfer by means of vaccination card. Vaccination information is one of the most commonly acquired pieces of data today. However, because most internet data collection processes lack encryption, personal data becomes very vulnerable to threats. As a result, the researchers presented a Centralized Covid-19 Record System, which illustrates secure data transfer via RSA-generated QR codes. A descriptive research design was employed in which a survey questionnaire together with secondary data sources and online tools i.e., RSA Express Encryption/Decryption Calculator and QR code generator were utilized as data instruments. Through a culmination of knowledge on asymmetric cryptography, RSA algorithm, QR codes, and web system development, answers to the founded research questions were unveiled. The web system’s architecture comprises several components and sub-components building its digital makeup. For the system development process, the most essential structural components are the web browser, web server, and database server. Through a message encryption/decryption feature that makes use of the RSA algorithm in generating a key pair, cryptography was implemented in the system. The essential mathematical parameters comprising such features are RSA encryption algorithm, RSA decryption algorithm, and Euler phi function. As for the system development environment, several hardware and software requirements that build and support the system’s end-to-end process were also specified. Upon the employment of those specifications, the system was able to offer several security features including the 15-digit account user IDs and QR code scanning for log-in, secured acquisition of public and private keys, and an admin verification process. Lastly, it was found that asymmetric cryptosystem provides a secured channel for data transfer due to the computational difficulty of factoring the large integers that constitute modulo . Upon the strategic culmination of the study’s framework, well-established system architecture, required system specifications, and security measures, the researchers were able to successfully develop VacciFied.net, a Centralized Covid-19 Record System involving authenticated data transfer process.

Published: September 2022

Geologists face a number of problems, mainly related to the difficulty of covering the entire terrain, leading to various pieces of information collected and its extrapolation for drawing maps. To overcome these problems, we have proposed to use remote sensing which is a current tool for rock mapping. Remote sensing is a modern tool to highlight several information that conventional mapping methods do not allow. Thus, the objective of this work is to update the geological contours of the Yaoundé metadiorites by processing satellite images coupled with the classical approach. Sentinel 1-A radar images were used. A textural analysis of these images was carried out using the GLCM (Grey Level Co-occurrence Matrix) method, resulting in eight co-occurrence indices, among which three were chosen to perform colored compositions. The colored compositions obtained are VMH and HMV. And the contrasts obtained were compared with maps from previous work and also with field work. The metasedimentary rocks (kyanite - garnet migmatites and garnet micaschists) and metaigneous rocks (metadiorite) constitute the metamorphic complex distinctly mapped by exploiting remote sensing data, superposition maps from previous work and integrating the new sampling points. Remote sensing in geological mapping thus plays an important role mainly in the urbanized study area as it detects the metadiorites under the metasediments despite the existence of anthropogenic works and low vegetation cover.

This research aimed to investigate whether: a) sport experience, coach/athlete sex and sex mismatch predicted athletes’ perceptions of their coach’s effectiveness on four dimensions of effectiveness, b) athletes’ perceptions of coaching effectiveness differed between team and individual sports, and c) the four dimensions of coaching effectiveness were predicted by athletes’ perceptions of conceptually related coach behaviors. Male (n=150) and female (n=147) athletes from team and individual sports completed questionnaires assessing athletes’ perceptions of their coach’s effectiveness and behavior. Results revealed, a) sex predicted three dimensions of coaching effectiveness, such that perceptions of motivation, technique and character-building effectiveness were higher in females than males, b) perceptions of motivation, technique and character-building effectiveness were higher in individual-sport athletes than team-sport athletes, and c) all four dimensions of coaching effectiveness were predicted by conceptually related coach behaviors. This study identified a wide range of antecedents of coaching effectiveness, partially supports past research and provides support for the contention that athletes’ perceptions of coaching effectiveness are based upon observations of coach behaviour.

The physical characteristics favourable for soccer players includes high level of speed, explosive jumping power, and aerobic fitness which highlights the importance of assessing these characteristics for strength and conditioning training program development. The aim of this study is to examine the associations between speed, power and endurance performance of Malaysia Super League soccer players. Twenty-four male soccer players (age = 24.50 ± 3.11 years, height = 176.12 ± 8.11 cm, body mass = 70.86 ± 9.07 kg) were recruited in this study and all the players were tested for explosive lower body power (vertical jump, VJ), speed (30meter sprint), and endurance (Yo-Yo Intermittent Endurance level 2, YYIEL2). A statistically significant correlation was found between 30-meter sprint time and distance covered in YYIEL2, but contrary to previous findings reported in the literature, sprint time and VJ height were not correlated. Therefore, VJ training may not necessarily improve speed and an improvement in VJ performance may not reflect an improvement in speed. In addition, no significant correlation was found between VJ height and the distance covered in YYIEL2. Given the intermittent nature of the game, the negative moderate correlation between sprint time and distance covered in YYIEL2 (r = -0.43, p <0.05) indicated that specific aerobic and anaerobic performance could be enhanced simultaneously through the appropriate training programme.

A balanced aerobic and anaerobic capacity is an important determinant of performance among field hockey players during the competition. Training and heritable talent play important roles in determining the performance of the athletes. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the influence of sport-related genetic variants on aerobic capacity and repeated sprint ability performance among field hockey players. A total of 45 participants (age = 16.42 ± 0.50 years old, height = 1.67 ± 0.06 m) were selected based on the inclusion criteria of this study. Participants were divided into three groups based on training intensity for eight weeks (high intensity, moderate intensity, and control). Three genetic variants associated with endurance and power (ACE rs1799752, ACTN3 rs1815739, and PPARA rs4253778) were used to calculate the total genotype score (TGS). Pearson’s correlation was used to analyse the correlations between the performance and TGS. There was a significant correlation between the aerobic capacity with endurance TGS (r=0.55, p=0.03) and power TGS (r=-0.55, p=0.03) following the moderate intensity group. It is concluded that the higher the endurance TGS, the better the aerobic capacity in the moderate intensity endurance exercise. Therefore, the short-term performance of the athletes was significantly influenced by the genotypes and training intensity.

Ficus deltoidea (FD) is herbal plant that been used traditionally in Malaysia to treat various illness such as cold, regain energy in post-partum women and improve libido. Scientific studies also proved that FD possess medicinal properties such as anti-inflammatory, anti-nociceptive, anti-diabetic and wound healing properties. Currently, FD has been claimed to possess energy booster effect and a commercialized energy drink has been formulated using FD, but there was no scientific study on the effect of FD on physical performance. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of FD aqueous extract on swimming time, muscle fiber size and blood testosterone level. Male Wistar rats (n=24) were used in this in vivo model of study. They were divided equally into 4 groups according to FD treatment dosage (0, 50, 200 and 800 mg/kg). FD treatments were given via oral gavage for 6 weeks. Physical fitness of rats treated with FD were evaluated using weight-loaded force swimming test (WLFST) while muscle fiber cross section area was measured to determine muscle fiber size. Data from WLFST suggested that FD supplementation did not improve swimming time in treated rats. FD was found to effectively induce muscle hypertrophy by increasing muscle fiber cross section area. In this study, FD was shown to exhibit ergogenic effect on rats by increasing lean muscle mass, without affecting testosterone level and swimming time.

This study examined the perception of Malaysian sport coaches on the sport coaching standards (SCS). A total of 384 coaches (age = 28.84+4.02 years; male = 67.7%, female = 32.3%) responded to the survey via an online google document. Almost 59% of the respondents were club level coaches with 42% having 1-3 years coaching experience. Majority (56.2%) of the coaches was involved in soccer, frisbee, dodgeball, and futsal. The adopted research instrument consisted of 40 coaching standards and were categorized into eight domains. The items were measured through an 11-point (0-10) Likert scale. The results suggested that Malaysian coaches perceived the 40 standards (minimum = 6.94 and maximum = 9.00) as knowledge and abilities that effective coaches must possess. As for the domains, Malaysian coaches ranked the top three domains to be ‘Growth and Development’, ‘Teaching and Communication’, and ‘Skills and Tactics’ respectively. Similar ranking of the domain was also reported according to gender. Even though coaching education in terms of sport specific and sport science programs is in place in Malaysia, it is imperative for Malaysian Sport Coaching Academy and National Sport Associations to incorporate some coaching standards in their relevant coaching education curriculum.

The purpose of this study was to examine the influences of carbohydrate (CHO) mouth rinse on self-selected running speeds, heart rate and psychological response during a 30-min treadmill run. Twelve endurance-collegiate male athletes (N=12) age 22.33 ± 0.63, mean height 169 ± 5.89 m, and mean body weight 62.57 ± 7.69 kg performed two trials that have one-week interval of crossover study. Each trial involved a 10-min warm-up at 60% HRmax followed by a 30-min run. The run was performed on an automated treadmill that allowed the spontaneous selection of speeds without manual input. Participants were asked to mouth rinsing with either a 6% CHO or taste-matched placebo (PLA) solution. Parameters measured include self-selected speed during treadmill running, heart rate and psychological responses (feeling arousal scale, feeling scale, gastrointestinal scale). Significant interaction between groups across experimental sessions were noted on three parameters (p<.05). The CHO mouth rinse group showed improvements of heart rate, feeling scale and feeling arousal scale compare to control group during treadmill running. These findings demonstrated that 6% CHO mouth rinse is effective in improving performance of moderate intensity running physiologically and psychologically.
