A Person-Job Fit Index Using Multiple Intelligences Profiles: Calculating Risk for Chronic Relative Underperformance
Authors: Jessurun Haiko , Gelper Sarah , Anthonio Gabriël , Weggeman Mathieu
Published: October 2020

 In this article an index is investigated which can express the fit between a job profile and a personal profile, which both make use of Gardner’s concept of multiple intelligences. The difficulties are (1) that even though the same conceptual framework is used to describe both the capabilities that functions/jobs need and the capabilities that persons have, the two measurements are not exactly the same, and (2) that the index must be able to indicate whether a person is possibly underperforming, or might be overburdened by the function. Other indexes, such as correlations, or common distance measures provide parts of the answer, but in themselves destroy too much information.  

 To illustrate the different steps, data are used from a small set of profiles from well functioning mental health professionals from a community mental health centre in the Netherlands and a job profile, obtained from colleagues from another community mental health centre.

A method preserving the direction of the differences, based on the Mahalanobis distance is developed in this paper, which expresses over- as well as the underscoring of a personal profile in regard to the job profile, as well as combining these in a single index that can be used in statistical analyses. The method might be applicable to compare other kinds of profiles to each other as well.

SweetPea: A standard language for factorial experimental design.
Authors: Musslick Sebastian , Cherkaev Anastasia , Draut Ben , Butt Ahsan , Srikumar Vivek , Flatt Matthew , Cohen Jonathan D.
Published: October 2020

Experimental design is a key ingredient of reproducible empirical research. Yet, given the increasing complexity of experimental designs, researchers often struggle to implement ones that allow them to measure their variables of interest without confounds. SweetPea is an open-source declarative language in Python, in which researchers can describe their desired experiment as a set of factors and constraints. The language leverages advances in areas of computer science to sample experiment sequences in an unbiased way. In this article, we provide an overview of SweetPea’s capabilities, and demonstrate its application to the design of psychological experiments. Finally, we discuss current limitations of SweetPea, as well as potential applications to other domains of empirical research, such as neuroscience and machine learning.
White and Minority Demographic Shifts, Intergroup Threat, and Right-Wing Extremism
Authors: Bai Hui , Federico Christopher
Published: October 2020

We present four studies (one correlational and three experimental) of American Whites that examine relationships between White and minority demographic shifts, intergroup threat, and support for extreme-right groups and actions. We focus in particular on the role of collective existential threat (i.e., a perception that the ingroup will cease to exist), along with three alternative/competing intergroup threats: status threat, symbolic threat, prototypicality threat. Though no zero-order relationship was found between perceived White population decline and far-right variables, we find evidence that (1) perceived White population decline leads to collective existential threat net of other perceived demographic shifts, (2) collective existential threat is related to far-right support net of other threats, and (3) perceived White decline has a robust indirect relationship with measures of far-right support via collective existential threat.
L’enfer c’est les autres? The effects of COVID-19 virus on interpersonal trust
Authors: Gambetta Diego , Morisi Davide
Published: October 2020

Does the COVID-19 pandemic affect interpersonal trust? Most evidence shows that natural disasters reinforce trust and cooperation, but the COVID-19 virus differs from other calamities since it spreads through contact with people, potentially increasing suspicion and distrust. We investigate the link between exposure to COVID-19 and trust in strangers in a representative sample of adults in Italy, one the countries hardest struck by the pandemic. Contrary to intuitive expectations, by conducting a panel study with an embedded survey experiment we find that those who report COVID-19 symptoms trust strangers substantially more than those who do not. Panel data analysis shows that trust increases within individuals who catch COVID-19, although the effect seems to decline once people recover. In addition, our experimental findings reveal that priming people on the risk that the COVID-19 pandemic poses to their health, leads to a substantial increase in trust in strangers, which lasts over time. Priming in terms of job loss and economic recession too leads to a smaller increase in trust in strangers, while solidarity appeals and knowledge of people with COVID-19 symptoms in one’s network has no effects on trust. These findings could be explained partly by people observing altruistic behavior and increasing their estimate of other people’s trustworthiness and partly by conjecturing that when caught in catastrophes people become more dependent on other people’s support and prone to “outward exposure”, consistently with the “emancipation theory of trust”.
Not all females outlive all males: A new perspective on lifespan inequalities between sexes
Authors: Bergeron-Boucher Marie-Pier , Alvarez Jesús-Adrian , Kashnitsky Ilya , Zarulli Virginia , Vaupel James W
Published: October 2020

Differences in lifespan between populations, e.g. between females and males, are often measured by differences in summary statistics, such as life expectancy, which generally show an advantage of females over males across the whole age span. However, such statistics ignore the fact that two lifespan distributions are generally not mutually exclusive and that not all females outlive all males. Here we use a novel measure of inequality in lifespans: the outsurvival probability, which is interpreted as the probability of males to outlive females. The measure accounts for the similarities in lifespan between populations. It also considers the interaction between the mean and variance of two lifespan distributions and their combined effect on between-populations inequalities. Our results show that the probability of males outliving females varied between 25% and 50%, across 44 countries and regions since the middle of the 18th century. Thus, despite the usually male lower life expectancy and higher death rates at all ages, males have a substantial chance of outliving females. Our suggested approach is generalizable to any pair of populations.

These type of liquids, called self-rewetting, show a complex dynamics and here we will compare with those liquids of linear dependence in the temperature. Unlike to the latter ones, the droplet width increases with the time.
INTEGRATING INTERCULTURAL ASPECTS IN EFL LESSONS AT SLOVAK SECONDARY SCHOOLS
Authors: Sándorová Zuzana
Published: October 2020

Over the last decades the importance of incorporating intercultural aspects in FL education has often been emphasized, especially by intercultural communication as well as foreign language pedagogy scholars. Yet the everyday teaching practice in Slovakia does not always reflect this viewpoint, as it has been revealed due to some research in the field. 

The aim of the paper was to summarize the results of the observations carried out at secondary schools in Slovakia in order to map which intercultural aspects were developed suitably and sufficiently in the observed EFL lessons. The investigation showed that EFL courses at Slovak secondary schools tend to disregard the must of integrating cultural aspects in FL education. One of the reasons can be the lack of further education for in-service teachers in the given field; hence, the paper also includes some proposals for teacher development in terms of developing intercultural competences in FL courses

Published: October 2020

El surgimiento exponencial de la pandemia por el virus SARS-COV-2 en México, es un tema de suma importancia que ha conllevado a la contención de su propagación, empleando diversas disciplinas médicas. Sin embargo, estrategias como la alfabetización en salud, que han sido ampliamente probadas y que son de bajo costo, requieren ser revisadas para mejorar su implementación. Por lo anterior, el propósito principal del presente manuscrito es analizar la importancia de la alfabetización en salud en la contención de la pandemia en México, con un estudio conceptual de los principales factores que participan en el desarrollo de esta enfermedad, como: el tipo de virus, los mecanismos fisiopatológicos, la interacción de factores sociode-mográficos y culturales que forman parte del escenario epidemiológico. Las principales premisas integradas que han llevado a reconocer la necesidad de verificar la fuente de información, referente a los conocimientos médicos que continuamente se están difundiendo sobre la pandemia, para evitar la propagación de información falsa. Así como la importancia de aplicar las acciones preventivas sobre el uso del cubre bocas y el correcto lavado de manos, no a base de medidas obligatorias por sanciones, sino mediante la enseñanza razonada, que permita en las personas poder decidir mediante el auto consentimiento. No obstante, es necesario continuar con la enseñanza preventiva, involucrando diversos líderes poblacionales (políticos, religiosos, profesores, comunicólogos etc.) que puedan replicar con el ejemplo y facilitar la enseñanza de estas estrategias.

System for monitoring and adjusting the learning process of primary schoolchildren based on the EEG data analysis
Authors: Kurkin Semen , Grubov Vadim , Maksimenko Vladimir , Pitsik Elena , Hramova Marina , Hramov Alexander
Published: October 2020

Introduction: Monitoring the learning process usually involves an analysis of the higher mental functions of the student: imagination, memory, thinking, attention, etc. Currently, there are wide opportunities for objective monitoring and evaluation of these characteristics based on the achievements of modern neuroscience. Analysis of the personal characteristics of the student allows to perform personalization of educational process. In this context, the approaches based on the electroencephalography analysis are particularly promising. Currently, one of the main barriers to the widespread introduction of EEG based systems in the school educational process is the lack of ready-made solutions to such systems for use in the learning process of schoolchildren, as well as scenarios for their application. Purpose: Development and initial testing of the system for monitoring and adjusting the learning process, as well as strategies for its use for primary school students. Methods: EEG analysis, wavelet analysis of recorded multichannel EEG data, analysis of changes in the energies of the main rhythms of the neural activity of the brain, the feedbackprovided by the system. Results: The concept and diagram of the developed system for monitoring and adjusting the learning process and the strategy for its use for elementary school students are described in detail. An increase in the efficiency of learning process with developed system was demonstrated as a consequence of feedback based on the assessment of changes in the energies of the characteristic rhythms of the student’s brain activity. Practical relevance: The use of EEG systems for an objective analysis of the personal characteristics of students and the personalization of the learning process through the implementation of feedback based on the data obtained will increase the quality of the educational process and the efficiency of learning new material.

Performance Effects of Shock Absorber and Spiral Springs Against Vertical Vehicle Expenses Weighing the Road Structure
Authors: Ka'ka Simon , Andre H Festo
Published: October 2020

This study aims to examine more about the effect of vertical dynamic load of vehicles and changes in dimensional barriers on the road surface in its path. Experimentally this fluctuating load is replaced by a pneumatic force change based on the regulation of air pressure on the regulator. The deviations generated by the varying load work are measured by placing a proximity sensor along the spring movement. The amount of vertical load transformation reaches the road surface is measured by using Load cell. Characteristics of vertical dynamic vibration occurring due to several dimensional barriers, U (cm) obtained using mathematical modeling method with 2 DOF suspension system transfer function.Â  The results showed a condition on the body and wheels of vehicles experienced a brief overshot for 0.14 seconds with deviation of 0.178 m. From the graph shows that the rate of deviation that occurs is large enough that Y2d = 1.03 m / s caused by a sudden shock that occurred on the wheels of the vehicle. This condition does not last long that is only duration t = 0.22 s, because the spring reaction force and shock absorber can absorb 25% vibration against the sprung and un-sprung vertical load of the vehicle.
As reviravoltas de um conceito: a crítica do “poder” em Michel Foucault
Authors: Aleikseivz Renato Alves
Published: October 2020

Nesse artigo, empreenderemos uma reflexão sobre a analítica do poder em Michel Foucault. Nossa intenção é percorrer a produção foucaultiana a partir de meados dos anos setenta até início dos anos oitenta, buscando compreender os deslocamentos ou “reviravoltas” pelos quais o conceito de poder sofreu ao longo do tempo. Procuraremos mostrar que é possível identificar três momentos na pesquisa de Foucault. Em primeiro lugar, ao tentar se afastar da tradicional compreensão jurídica-discursiva do poder, ele introduz uma análise inédita a respeito da dinâmica do poder disciplinar e dos micropoderes que compõem o campo social. Pode-se considerar esse um deslocamento, de modo geral, em relação à tradição política ocidental. Com o curso Em defesa da sociedade encontramo-nos diante de uma modificação na compreensão do poder, ao identificá-lo como guerra ou luta. Por fim, com a introdução dos conceitos de biopoder/biopolítica, Foucault é levado a uma grande expansão de suas pesquisas, tematizando conceitos que não faziam parte de seu interesse até então, como, por exemplo, o conceito de Estado. É nesse contexto que o conceito de governo fará sua entrada nas reflexões de Foucault. Entendemos que o conceito de governo se configura como um refinamento e, igualmente, deixa mais ampla e complexa sua análise do poder a fim de dar conta do presente político.
Uma análise da terceira seção da obra Fundamentação da metafísica dos costumes
Authors: Orben Douglas João
Published: October 2020

O artigo aborda a problemática que envolve a terceira seção da obra Fundamentação da Metafísica dos Costumes, mais precisamente a questão referente à validade sintética a priori do imperativo categórico na determinação da vontade humana. Muito embora a lei moral seja universalmente reconhecida por todos os seres racionais, Kant precisa demonstrar a sua efetividade no que diz respeito à vontade humana, a qual é empiricamente afetada. Deste modo, a estratégia argumentativa kantiana gira em torno de uma tentativa de deduzir a autonomia moral da noção transcendental de liberdade, o que se mostra impossível, pois, nesse contexto, ainda não há como comprovar a validade objetiva de tal conceito. Apesar do esforço empreendido por Kant, todos os argumentos aqui erigidos esbarram na impossibilidade de se conhecer o âmbito inteligível, de modo que tal questão só vai ser levada a cabo na Crítica da Razão Prática.
Sobre a noção de transparência em Byung-Chul Han e a defesa de nossa desacreditada opacidade
Authors: Domecq Martin
Published: October 2020

A transparência é um velho ideal moderno que as novas tecnologias rejuvenesceram e tornaram onipresente nas discussões atuais sobre poder, cultura digital e controle. Neste artigo, propomos uma análise da noção de transparência ao longo de quatro obras do filósofo contemporâneo Byung-Chul Han: Sociedade do cansaço, Topologia da violência, Sociedade da transparência e Psicopolítica. Este percurso nos permitirá sugerir uma genealogia desta noção na obra de Han. A noção de transparência será analisada como desdobramento da sociedade de desempenho, como forma de violência, como fenômeno econômico e cultural e como dispositivo neoliberal. Tais abordagens propostas por Han supõem uma mudança do paradigma disciplinar elaborado por Foucault: assim a sociedade contemporânea seria mais uma sociedade do desempenho que uma sociedade disciplinar. Em nossas considerações finais, pontuaremos algumas críticas ao livro Psicopolítica. Se a transparência é um dispositivo que gera uma visibilidade seletiva para reproduzir uma ordem neoliberal, um discurso crítico sobre a transparência não deveria invisibilizar as concepções que se contrapõem a esse dispositivo. Nesta direção, aventamos quatro perspectivas que agrupam linhas de ações coletivas e individuais que confrontam o dispositivo neoliberal da transparência.
O lugar da obra de arte na filosofia do sublime do século XVIII
Authors: Achlei Renata Covali Cairolli
Published: October 2020

A relação entre o sublime e a arte, a princípio, soa natural e certa, mas ao longo do século XVIII algumas teorias afastaram essa categoria da produção artística. Foram décadas notadamente frutíferas nas questões sobre o sublime, período em que não só o sublime recebe seu título de categoria estética como destacadamente participa das questões epistemológicas da recém cunhada disciplina Estética. Nesse cenário, alguns pensadores se voltam exclusivamente para o sublime natural. Esse artigo procurará mostrar o caminho percorrido por esse conceito a partir da recepção pelos ingleses, em 1689, do tratado sobre retórica do século I d.C. intitulado Peri Hypsos, traduzido por Boileu-Despréaux como Sobre o Sublime e atribuído ao crítico grego Cassius Longinus. Visitaremos as teorias de pensadores como Joseph Addison, Edmund Burke e Immanuel Kant, que apontam para o sublime exclusivamente como contemplação da natureza, e encerraremos essa jornada na reinserção do drama trágico na categoria sublime por Friedrich Schiller. Fecha-se, dessa forma, o que chamamos aqui de “ciclo do sublime natural”, que se inicia na leitura característica dos britânicos empiristas, encontra sua mais bem acabada teoria na terceira Crítica kantiana e se encerra no trabalho teórico e literário do poeta de Weimar.
A filosofia na perspectiva anti-representacionista de Rorty: da imagem mental especular à ênfase na linguagem como prática social
Authors: Silva Heraldo Aparecido
Published: October 2020

O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar a perspectiva do filósofo neopragmatista Richard Rorty sobre a filosofia e a atividade profissional de seus praticantes. Nesse contexto, privilegiamos alguns aspectos de sua crítica anti-representacionista ao legado filosófico moderno e também seu prognóstico acerca do que a atividade filosófica pode vir a se tornar na contemporaneidade. No decorrer da argumentação de Rorty, temos uma abrangente crítica à noção epistemológica dominante de uma imagem mental especular e, em contrapartida, a proposição de uma necessária transição para o campo cultural na qual a ênfase filosófica residiria nas possibilidades de uso da linguagem como modo de lidar com o mundo.
APPLICATION OF THE APPARATUS OF BALL VECTORS IN PROBLEMS OF MECHANICS
Authors: Novikov V.V. , Fevralskikh L.N.
Published: October 2020

An approach to solving problems of dynamics of distributed mechanical systems with spherical symmetry based on the use of the ball vector apparatus is demonstrated. A number of problems of the dynamics of a solid deformable body, liquid fluid, and magnetic hydrodynamics are presented, for which an analytical solution is obtained that allows us to identify qualitative features of the dynamics of the studied objects.

The problem of free angular movements of a deformable body close in shape to a ball is considered. The example of almost of ball possessing cubic symmetry, body shape and almost spherical the inertia tensor in the undeformed condition, demonstrates the ability of the global movement in the body axis of steady rotation (pole). The effect is due to the fact that when a body rotates at high speed, the elastic properties play a decisive role in its dynamics. Over time, the angular velocity of the drag decreases and the movement of the body is increasingly affected by its ellipsoidplicity.

The motion of an incompressible viscous fluid in the space between a rotating non-concentric sphere and an ellipsoid is studied. It is shown that the asymmetry of the flow leads to the appearance of a radial flow of the liquid. The presence of such a flow in the case of a conducting liquid is a necessary condition for generating a magnetic field.

Assuming that the liquid is conductive, a study of the possibility of generating a magnetic field is carried out on the basis of the obtained flow in the framework of the kinematic approach. The smallest value of the Reynolds magnetic number is found, which creates an exponentially growing magnetic field when passing through it.

The results obtained can be useful for studying the dynamics of the Earth and the planets of the Solar system and the mechanism of generating a geomagnetic field.
NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF NON-STATIONARY PROCESSES IN THE GAS TURBINE CIRCUIT OF THE SSTAR LEAD-COOLED REACTOR
Authors: Chistov A.S. , Savikhin O.G. , Savikhin I.O.
Published: October 2020

The problem of mathematical and numerical modeling of non-stationary processes in a closed gas turbine installation as part of an energy conversion unit of a lead-cooled reactor is considered. The problem is solved in a fairly General formulation, in which the gas circuit can include an arbitrary number of turbines with gas preheating, an arbitrary number of compressors with gas pre-cooling, as well as a heat exchanger for regenerative gas heating. Variants of both single-shaft and two-shaft gas turbine installations are considered. Point idealization is used when modeling the flow part of the turbine and compressor. Heat and mass transfer in the circuits of lead and gas coolants is described in a one-dimensional approximation. The possibility of mutual phase transformations of a melt-solid phase in the lead coolant is taken into account. Calculation of heat and mass transfer in the circuits is carried out within the single approach, in which the circulation circuit is represented as a set of interconnected heat-hydraulic elements (channels). Integration of the system of heat and mass transfer equations in the contour is performed using a fast scalar sweeping algorithm. The calculation algorithm provides the ability to take into account the sources of impulse and mass at arbitrary nodal points of the contour. This makes it possible to “end-to-end” computation when integrating the system of equations of gas dynamics along a closed loop, taking into account changes in adiabatic pressure drops at the points of turbines and compressors at each time step. The possibility of using the integral form of the momentum equation for modeling heat and mass transfer in a gas circuit is considered. For the SSTAR-type reactor with a lead coolant and a gas-turbine energy conversion cycle, the calculation of an emergency process with a rupture of a hot gas pipeline was performed. It was found that, in contrast to a reactor with a steam-turbine cycle of energy conversion of the BREST type, lead solidification in gas heaters does not occur in this accident. The study results can be used in elaborating the designs of lead cooled reactors and high-temperature gas reactors.
Upregulated CNTN1 is associated with lymph node metastasis and poor prognosis of colorectal cancer
Authors: Li Guangyao , Zhang Zhengjun , Ge Guochao , Fang Ke , Zhu Jianyu
Published: October 2020

BACKGROUND: Contactin1 (CNTN1), a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily, is known to correlate with tumor development and progression. Although recent studies have found that elevated CNTN1 has been demonstrated in some types of cancers, the expression and prognosis of CNTN1 in colorectal cancer (CRC) are unclear. Here, we aimed to determine the clinicopathological characteristics and prognostic role of CNTN1 in CRC patients. METHODS: The protein expression of CNTN1 in tumor tissues was evaluated by immunohistochemistry. In addition, the mRNA and protein expressions of CNTN1 were examined by qRT-PCR and Western blotting analysis in 40 matched adjacent normal mucosa samples. The relationships of CNTN1 with clinicopathological data and prognosis significance were analyzed. RESULTS: Immunohistochemical consequence suggested that the protein level of CNTN1 was obviously raised in CRC compared with adjacent normal mucosa tissues (56.9% vs 10.3%, P< 0.05). In addition, we detected a significant increase in CNTN1 mRNA and protein levels in CRC tissues compared with the matched adjacent normal mucosa tissues. Moreover, increased CNTN1 exprssion was significantly associated with tumor size, lymph node metastasis (LNM), tumor node-metastasis (TNM) stage and carcino-embryonic antigen (CEA) in clinical analysis. Kaplan-Meier analysis suggested that patients with CNTN1 over-expression showed worse overall survival (OS) (P= 0.001). Multivariate analysis indicated that high CNTN1 expression was an independent predictor for poor OS in CRC patients (P= 0.028). Further analysis revealed that patients with high CNTN1 combined with LNM present accurately predicted poorer outcome. CONCLUSION: Taken together, the findingsindicate that CNTN1 plays a significant role and serve as a potential biomarker for the prediction of adverse prognosis in CRC. Intriguingly, high express of CNTN1 + LNM-present combination may improve the accuracy of prognosis.
Artificial intelligence, bureaucratic form, and discretion in public service

This article examines the relationship between Artificial Intelligence (AI), discretion, and bureaucratic form in public organizations. We ask: How is the use of AI both changing and changed by the bureaucratic form of public organizations, and what effect does this have on the use of discretion? The diffusion of information and communication technologies (ICTs) has changed administrative behavior in public organizations. Recent advances in AI have led to its increasing use, but too little is known about the relationship between this distinct form of ICT and to both the exercise of discretion and bureaucratic form along the continuum from street- to system-levels. We articulate a theoretical framework that integrates work on the unique effects of AI on discretion and its relationship to task and organizational context with the theory of system-level bureaucracy. We use this framework to examine two strongly differing cases of public sector AI use: health insurance auditing, and policing. We find AI’s effect on discretion is nonlinear and nonmonotonic as a function of bureaucratic form. At the same time, the use of AI may act as an accelerant in transitioning organizations from street- and screen-level to system-level bureaucracies, even if these organizations previously resisted such changes.

Published: October 2020

Background: Agitation in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) has been hypothesized to be an expression of anxiety, but whether anxiety early in the course of dementia could be a risk factor for developing later agitation is unknown. Objective: We used the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) database to examine the longitudinal relationship between anxiety and incident agitation in individuals with a diagnosis of AD at baseline or during follow-up. Methods: Longitudinal neuropsychiatric symptom data from AD individuals who were agitation-free at study baseline (N = 272) were analyzed using mixed effects regression models to test the longitudinal relationship between baseline and incident anxiety with incident agitation. Results: Anxiety at baseline was not associated with subsequent agitation, but there was a positive linear relationship between incident anxiety and agitation over the study duration. Baseline apathy and delusions were consistently associated with subsequent agitation and greater disease severity and illness duration also appeared to be risk factors for agitation. Conclusion: Our findings support the concept that anxiety and agitation are likely to be distinct rather than equivalent constructs in mild-moderate AD. Future longitudinal cohort studies are needed to replicate these findings and further characterize potential risk factors for agitation, such as apathy and delusions.

Published: October 2020

Probabilistic uncertain linguistic sets (PULTSs) have extensively been employed in multiple attribute group decision making (MAGDM)problem. The QUALIFLEX method, which is relatively a novel MAGDM technique, aims to obtain the optimal alternative. This paper proposes the probabilistic uncertain linguistic QUALIFLEX (PUL-QUALIFLEX) method with CRITIC method. To show the effectiveness of the designed method, an application is given for green supplier selection and the derived results are compared with some existing methods. Thus, the advantage of this proposed method is that it is simple to understand and easy to compute. The proposed method can also contribute to the selection of suitable alternative successfully in other selection issues.
Indoor air quality prediction using optimizers: A comparative study
Authors: Saini Jagriti , Dutta Maitreyee , Marques Gonçalo
Published: October 2020

Indoor air pollution (IAP) has become a serious concern for developing countries around the world. As human beings spend most of their time indoors, pollution exposure causes a significant impact on their health and well-being. Long term exposure to particulate matter (PM) leads to the risk of chronic health issues such as respiratory disease, lung cancer, cardiovascular disease. In India, around 200 million people use fuel for cooking and heating needs; out of which 0.4% use biogas; 0.1% electricity; 1.5% lignite, coal or charcoal; 2.9% kerosene; 8.9% cow dung cake; 28.6% liquified petroleum gas and 49% use firewood. Almost 70% of the Indian population lives in rural areas, and 80% of those households rely on biomass fuels for routine needs. With 1.3 million deaths per year, poor air quality is the second largest killer in India. Forecasting of indoor air quality (IAQ) can guide building occupants to take prompt actions for ventilation and management on useful time. This paper proposes prediction of IAQ using Keras optimizers and compares their prediction performance. The model is trained using real-time data collected from a cafeteria in the Chandigarh city using IoT sensor network. The main contribution of this paper is to provide a comparative study on the implementation of seven Keras Optimizers for IAQ prediction. The results show that SGD optimizer outperforms other optimizers to ensure adequate and reliable predictions with mean square error = 0.19, mean absolute error = 0.34, root mean square error = 0.43, R2 score = 0.999555, mean absolute percentage error = 1.21665%, and accuracy = 98.87%.
Generalized dynamic attribute reduction based on similarity relation of intuitionistic fuzzy rough set
Authors: Chuanchao Zhang
Published: October 2020

In view of the characteristics with big data, high feature dimension, and dynamic for a large-scale intuitionistic fuzzy information systems, this paper integrates intuitionistic fuzzy rough sets and generalized dynamic sampling theory, proposes a generalized attribute reduction algorithm based on similarity relation of intuitionistic fuzzy rough sets and dynamic reduction. It uses dynamic reduction sampling theory to divide a big data set into small data sets and relative positive domain cardinality instead of dependency degree as decision-making condition, and obtains reduction attributes of big intuitionistic fuzzy decision information systems, and achieves the goal of extracting key features and fault diagnosis. The innovation of this paper is that it integrates generalized dynamic reduction and intuitionistic fuzzy rough set, and solves the problem of big data set which cannot be solved by intuitionistic fuzzy rough set. Taking an actual data as an example, the scientificity, rationality and effectiveness of the algorithm are verified from the aspects of stability, diagnostic accuracy, optimization ability and time complexity. Compared with similar algorithms, the advantages of the proposed algorithm for big data processing are confirmed.
Vasculitic Peripheral Neuropathy, Differences Between Systemic and Non-Systemic Etiologies: A Case Series and Biopsy Report

Published: October 2020

Background:

Vasculitic peripheral neuropathy (VPN) is caused by vessel inflammation leading to peripheral nerve injury of acute-to-subacute onset. When VPN occurs in the context of systemic disease it is classified as Systemic Vasculitic Neuropathy (SVN) and as Non-Systemic Vasculitic Neuropathy (NSVN) when restricted to the nerves.

Objective:

This study aimed to compare the clinical characteristics, biopsy findings and disease outcome in patients with VPN.

Methods:

Clinical records of adult patients with VPN diagnosed at our institution between June-2002 and June-2019 were retrospectively reviewed. Demographic characteristics, clinical manifestations, nerve conduction studies, nerve biopsies, treatment and clinical evolution were analyzed in all patients with at least 6 months follow-up.

Results:

Twenty-five patients with VPN were included (SVN, n = 10; NSVN, n = 15). No significant differences in demographic or clinical features were found between groups. The median delay between symptom onset and nerve biopsy was significantly longer in NSVN patients (10 vs 5.5 months, p =  0.009). Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) values over 20 mm/h were significantly more common in SVN patients (100% vs. 60%, p =  0.024). Nerve biopsies showed active lesions more frequently in treatment-naive patients compared to those who had received at least 2 weeks of corticosteroids (92% vs 38%; p =  0.03), with a higher proportion of definite VPN cases (92 vs 46%; p =  0.04).

Conclusions:

Although the clinical manifestations are similar, ESR is an important tool to help distinguish between both conditions. Early nerve biopsy in untreated patients increases diagnostic accuracy, avoiding misdiagnosis.
