Published: November 2019

Because of the impact of global warming, the Earth’s ecosystems are currently at a critical stage. The European building sector, and the residential element in particular, is responsible for the largest portion of energy end-use. Although we know how to build a perfectly engineered house, it will not work properly if its inhabitants do not know how to run it. “Well-educated” dwellers can really improve energy use. The aim of this research is to optimize the users’ role in the energy reduction process, analysing as a case study, Dwell!, the monitoring system designed for “RhOME for denCity”, the housing prototype developed by Roma Tre University and winner of the “Solar Decathlon Europe” competition in 2014.

Evaluating Word Similarity Measure of Embeddings Through Binary Classification
Authors: Altowayan A. Aziz , Tao Lixin
Published: November 2019

We consider the following problem: given neural language models (embeddings) each of which is trained on an unknown data set, how can we determine which model would provide a better result when used for feature representation in a downstream task such as text classification or entity recognition? In this paper, we assess the word similarity measure through analyzing its impact on word embeddings learned from various datasets and how they perform in a simple classification task. Word representations were learned and assessed under the same conditions. For training word vectors, we used the implementation of Continuous Bag of Words described in [1]. To assess the quality of the vectors, we applied the analogy questions test for word similarity described in the same paper. Further, to measure the retrieval rate of an embedding model, we introduced a new metric (Average Retrieval Error) which measures the percentage of missing words in the model. We observe that scoring a high accuracy of syntactic and semantic similarities between word pairs is not an indicator of better classification results. This observation can be justified by the fact that a domain-specific corpus contributes to the performance better than a general-purpose corpus. For reproducibility, we release our experiments scripts and results.
Performance Evaluation of Reactive Routing Protocols in MANETs in Association with TCP Newreno
Authors: Vanaja A , Pinto Jeevan L J
Published: November 2019

We inspect the performance of TCP NewReno protocol for data transfer in Mobile Ad hoc networks (MANETs). Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) protocols and AdHoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV) are standard reactive routing protocols widely used in MANETs. In addition we also have to consider Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) as essential for MANETs since it is one of the widely used internet protocol for dependable data transmission. TCP has its variants namely TCP Reno, TCP NewReno , TCP Vegas and TCP SACK. In this paper we are evaluating the performance of DSR and AODV in association with TCP Newreno with respect to various parameters such as Average throughput, instant throughput, residual energy, packet delivery ratio. The ns-2 network simulator was used for simulation.
Modeling Interstate Banking in the United States: the Spatial 3-Stage Least Squares Approach
Authors: Zhou Bin
Published: November 2019

This study uses a spatial 3-stage least squares approach to model interstate banking of the United States in 1994 and 2014. The method simultaneously takes into account spatial dependence, outward and inward interstate banking and their interaction, and the temporal effects in interstate banking. The study shows that a healthy economic structure, an expanding market, and permissive banking legislation encourage inward interstate banking. A healthy economic structure is a basis for strong banking firms to rise and to expand in other states.  Large banking institutions were dominate in outward interstate banking while smaller firm sizes tend to be associated with inward interstate banking. By 2014, large and well-capitalized banking firms from states with a healthy economic structure had expanded into states with lower income levels, and lower capital-to-labor ratios, higher labor resource use, and lower profitability in their banking industry. Evidence shows some banking geographical fragmentation remains.
Comedy Movies and Stock Returns of Locally Headquartered Companies: Evidence from China
Authors: Lu Jing , Wu Jiajia
Published: November 2019

We utilize data on comedy moviegoers from 18 cities in China to investigate the impact of the positive mood triggered by these movies on the stock returns of locally headquartered listed companies. We find that although these movies have no relation to investment itself, the sentiment triggered by these movies could affect the risk decision making of investors. Moreover, the stock returns of locally headquartered companies become significantly negative after comedy movies are screened in their respective cities. These results support the mood maintenance hypothesis. This research also provides new evidence for the presence of home bias in capital markets.JEL Classification: G11; G12

Authors: Xu Xiaoyan , Zhao Liyan , Mellor David
Published: November 2019

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of participation in a health motivation-based intervention program on college students’ smoking behavior. One hundred and seventy smokers (mean age = 19.0 years, 151 males) from nine colleges and universities in Chengdu, China were randomly assigned to one of 5 groups that received between one and four sessions of the intervention, or no intervention. The intervention sessions included sequential activities based on the stages of the process model of health motivation. Each group completed questionnaires assessing health motivation and smoking behaviors at pre-test, immediately post-intervention, and at one month follow-up. Analyses indicated that the intervention program did improve participants’ health motivation, and that was associated with reduced levels of smoking relative to baseline. The greater the number of sessions, the greater the reduction in smoking.

The increasing prevalence of Autism Spectrum Disorder makes it as considerable issue worldwide. Recent studies addresses the hot topic of Mirror Neuronal System (MNS) confers behind the ASD. However, the cause is uncertain, Indian population prone to varied prenatal and postnatal factors of the condition. Indian parents and professional still be at the initial awareness phase of the spectrum. Years of delay in identification and intervention while comparing with world standards due to various Indian socio-economic and socio-cultural factors. Less availability of screening and diagnostic tools headed to relay on culturally irrelevant and expensive international tools. Government funded research initiatives developed ISAA, INDT-ASD, CASI and AIIMS Modified INDT-ASD as culturally relevant indigenous tools and available on practice. So far, the tools have their own advantages and limitations, requires further research and progression. Owing to scarcity of trained professionals for a wide population range, home based parent-mediated therapies be the most preferred mode of therapy. However, the therapeutic options vary with people. The study aimed to ascertain the present Indian scenario, look upon the awareness about the condition, availability of screening and diagnostic facilities, the early identification and timely intervention program. In addition, the study briefly confers the biological and clinical background of ASD.

Authors: Iria Catarina , Paixão Rui , Barbosa Fernando
Published: November 2019

It is unknown if the ability of Portuguese in the identification of NimStim data set, which was created in America to provide facial expressions that could be recognized by untrained people, is (or not) similar to the Americans. To test this hypothesis the performance of Portuguese in the recognition of Happiness, Surprise, Sadness, Fear, Disgust and Anger NimStim facial expressions was compared with the Americans, but no significant differences were found. In both populations the easiest emotion to identify was Happiness while Fear was the most difficult one. However, with exception for Surprise, Portuguese tend to show a lower accuracy rate for all the emotions studied. Results highlighted some cultural differences.
Propagation Model of Invasive Species: Road Systems as Dispersion Facilitators
Authors: Nunes L.J.R. , Meireles C.I.R. , Gomes C.J. Pinto , N.M.C. Almeida Ribeiro
Published: November 2019

The globalization of the planet allowed plant species to emerge from their traditional habitats and spread to other territories. This dispersion, sometimes occasional, sometimes by the influence of man, reaches proportions today that, in some cases, affect the development of natural ecosystems and their sustainability. Thus, becomes imperative to know seeds dispersion occur, since only after can be taken measures to mitigate these processes. In the same way that natural communication paths, such as rivers, are responsible for the natural dispersal of seeds, man-made communication paths, such as road systems, can allow very rapid dispersion. This review article addresses this issue, raising a problem that can be observed in Portugal, but which can easily be transposed to other territories of the Mediterranean basin, given the similarities in these territories. The dispersion model described here, called Highway Flow Model, intends to show the mechanisms of seed dispersion through road systems, mainly due to the configuration of the road profiles, but also by the processes associated with the cleaning of the roadsides. This demonstrates the need to take measures, such as cleaning and inspecting the equipment used to clean roadside berths before moving them to a new service elsewhere.

Authors: Lei Ji , Chen Rong , Gui Renyi , Gao Jianshuang
Published: November 2019

Plant species diversity is an important index reflecting the functional complexity and stability of ecosystems. Human activity can completely alter plant species diversity and cause serious degradation of ecosystems but its impact on bamboo forest still lacks of systematic evaluation. In this study, we performed a field investigation to reveal the influences of human disturbances on the plant diversity and stability of Moso bamboo forests at Southern China. The selected bamboo fields contained different intensities of human activities that could be classified as slight, moderate and severe disturbance level. Species richness index S, Shannon-Wienner index H, Simpson index D, Pielou index Jsw, community similarity index IS and community stability index were employed to quantitatively evaluate the plant species diversity and stability. The survey revealed that there were 203 species belonging to 83 families and 108 genera in Moso bamboo forests. The number of plant species in the Moso bamboo forests decreased with the increasing of disturbance intensity. The species diversity indexes generally followed the order of slight > moderate > severe disturbance, as well as the richness index S, Shannon-Wienner index H and Pielou index Jsw. The similarity and species stability of the bamboo forest communities also decreased with the increase of the disturbance intensity. Under the severe disturbance, plant species replacement occurred strongly. The obtained results provide some a guideline for the sustainable management of bamboo forest.

Authors: Zhong Yi , Gui Renyi , Qian Zhuangzhuang , Zhuang Shunyao
Published: November 2019

Slow release fertilizers are designed to enhance crop yield and minimizing the loss of nitrogen (N) to environment. However, N release in leaching and loss in ammonia emission from bag controlled release fertilizers have not been previously evaluated under the standardized conditions in soil. Accordingly, a laboratory study was conducted to evaluate the characteristics of N release from a bag controlled fertilizer with 1, 3, 5 and 7 rows of hole (B-1, B-3, B-5, B-7) and a kraft bag without hole (B-W). The results showed that the amount of N leaching of B-1, B-3, B-5, B-7 and B-W were significantly lower than urea fertilizer without bag (U). The maximum N release from the fertilizers followed the order: U (83.16%) > B-7 (54.61%) > B-5 (54.02%) > B-W (51.51%) > B-3 (48.87%) > B-1 (38.60%) during the experimentation. Compared with U treatment, ammonia volatilization losses were significantly decreased by B-1, B-3, B-5, B-7 and B-W treatments. Based on N release and loss, a suitable bag with holes should be considered in practice when using the bag controlled fertilizer to meet an environment good objective. The evaluation method merits further study combined with field experiment.

Published: November 2019

Soil erosion associated with land cultivation exerts a great impact on ecological environment. Such an impact is specific of land, crop, tillage, management and so on. This study aimed to investigate the effects of crop cultivation on water quality by comparing nutrient distribution in the sediment at Southern China. Two sedimentation sites adjacent to the uncultivated (S1) and cultivated upland (S2) were selected and samples were analyzed. Results showed that soil pH decreased with the increasing depth above 20 cm and then kept relatively stable of the both sediments. Soil organic matter, nitrogen and phosphorus contents decreased with the increasing depth. There was no significant difference between two sediments in organic matter and nitrogen contents, but the total phosphorus and extractable phosphorus contents in S2 were much higher than that in S1. The data indicated that soil eroded from S2 could possess much high potential to deteriorate water quality. Nutrient sedimentation can reflect the history of soil erosion and provide useful information for sustainable soil management and water conservation through improving cultivation and tillage measures.

Piscicidal effects of several solvent extarcts (distilled water, 50% ethanol, absolute ethanol and 80% methanol) of Terminalia arjuna leaves, barks and fruits were studied against a common fresh water predatory fish, Heteropneustes fossilis under laboratory conditions in terms of Behavior and mortality of fishes after 24 h. Fishes exposed to plant extracts showed agitating movement with quick surfacing, loss of balance, mucus secretion, and finally died. The LC50 values of distilled water, 50% ethanol, absolute ethanol and 80% methanol extracts were found to be 311.726, 236.141, 183.541, 478.794 ppm for leaves, 117.894, 96.998, 38.990, 304.193 ppm for barks and 1400.033, 949.209, 555.201, 875.158 ppm for fruits, respectively. Chi-square values were found to be insignificant at P<0.05 in almost all plant extracts, indicating that observed and expected mortalities did not vary significantly in relation to doses, except 80% methanol extract of barks and absolute ethanol extract of fruits. The F-values of treatments were significant at P<0.01, except 80% methanol extract of fruits, in which F-values were insignificant in all replicates at P>0.01. Based on LC50 values, order of piscicidal activity followed the pattern, bark > leaf > fruit extracts. Order of piscicidal activity for the extracts was like absolute ethanol > 50% ethanol > distilled water > 80% methanol for leaf and bark, while for fruit extracts, trend was like absolute ethanol > 80% methanol > 50% ethanol > distilled water.

Published: November 2019

The study was to determine the appropriate dose and administration route of Ornitin Triple vaccine in cross-breed coloured broilers in Vietnam by evaluating the antibody titer against Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale (ORT) and local reactions at injection sites on chickens after vaccination. The study was divided into 2 trials. Both trials were designed with 3 vaccine dose groups: 0.0ml (control group), 0.25ml and 0.5ml and 2 different administration routes: subcutaneous at neck (SC) and intramuscular at breast (IM) injection. The result showed that, no statistically significant difference was found between antibody titer of two administration routes as well as 2 vaccine doses until 13-week-old. Local reactions at the injection sites of IM route was less severe than SC at neck and in higher dose would produce a more severe swelling reaction. Daily weight gain was found to have a slight decrease in the vaccinated groups within 2 weeks after vaccination, however, no statistically significant difference was found in later stage (P > 0.05). In conclusion, Ornitin Triple can be used to vaccinate by IM with the dose of 0.25ml for coloured broilers at early age (3-week-old), or 0.5ml for older birds and should be careful for some reactions at the injection sites.

Published: November 2019

The cases and deaths due to Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF) [49] virus commonly known as Congo virus (fatality rate 15%) have been reported throughout Pakistan from the last five years especially during religious occasion, Eid-ul-Azha. The annual increase in death rates due to CCHF demonstrate the importance of awareness of Congo fever at academia as well as public level. The symptoms of Congo fever which appear one to nine days after tick bite, include sudden high fever, muscle aches, abdominal pain, headache, dizziness, sore eyes, jaundice, mood swings, confusion, aggression, and sensitivity to light. The other signs include sore throat, joint pain, vomiting, diarrhea, hemorrhages, and bleeding from skin and large intestine. The Infection has been reported in many species of wild as well as domestic animals including hares, cattle, sheep, goats, dogs, mice and hedgehogs. At least 31 species of Hyalomma, Boophilus, Rhipicephalus, Dermacentor (Ixodidae: hard ticks) act as vector of CCHF in which transovarial, transstadial and venereal transmission occurs. The virus attacks the immune system of the host and influences the immune cells. The Congo fever virus can be isolated from blood, plasma and many body tissues (kidneys, liver, spleen, lungs, brain and bone marrow). Mice inoculation, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) can be used for detection of the infection. Furthermore, IgM and IgG antibodies against CCHFV can also be detected and quantified. Education of general public, tick control with acaricides, use of anti-CCHFV immunoglobulin, usage of approved repellents to prevent tick bites, wearing neutral-coloured garments, application of a permethrin spray to the clothing, avoiding tall grasses and shrubs, applying sunscreen, avoiding direct contact with the blood or tissues of animals are the factors for successful prevention of the infection.

Bichas inauguram a utopia: resistência homoerótica na literatura lampiônica
Authors: Afonso-Rocha Ricardo , Mitidieri André Luís
Published: December 2019

Com foco na coluna literária do jornal guei Lampião da Esquina, no período de 1978, ano de surgimento desse periódico, objetivamos investigar se a literatura nele publicada expressa, enquanto laço homossocial, o exercício da resistência homoerótica à “ditadura cis-hétero-militar brasileira”. Os recortes extraídos do corpus literário permitem constituir os seguintes gestos de análise: 1) abre-se à interpretação a possibilidade de ler a produção publicada no Lampião como ato de resistência ao regime ditatorial; 2) percebe-se a convolação da palavra literária em estratégias jurídicas e não-jurídicas de contestação/resistência; 3) identifi ca-se a rasura da pornografi a autoritária, imposta pelo regime cis-hétero-militar; 4) delimita-se a tensão do regime de cis-hétero-realidade, incitando a formação de laços de homossocialidade. Utilizamos metodologia qualitativa, de caráter bibliográfi co, para revisão de literatura; bem como a técnica historiográfi ca de análise documental, para exame do jornal.
(Des)civilização e barbárie na guerra colonial em Moçambique: uma análise do personagem Luís Alex de A costa dos murmúrios de Lídia Jorge
Authors: Moura Adriano Carlos , Gonçalves Ana Beatriz Rodrigues
Published: December 2019

Estudo de caso é um método comumente empregado em pesquisas com objetos do mundo concreto, indivíduos ou pequenos grupos sociais. Este trabalho propõe tal emprego para análise de um sujeito do universo fi ccional: o personagem Luís Alex do romance A costa dos murmúrios (2004) da romancista portuguesa Lídia Jorge. Pretende-se compreender o processo que fez com que o estudante de matemática, noivo apaixonado pela protagonista e narradora Evita/Eva Lopo se transformasse a seus olhos num soldado capaz de degolar pessoas, fincar suas cabeças em paus exibindo-as como troféus durante a guerra colonial em Moçambique. Inicialmente o personagem será estudado sob a perspectiva de Aimé Cesaire de que a colonização em vez de cumprir sua missão civilizadora transformou o colonizador em bárbaro. Buscar-se-á, pelas mudanças ocorridas com o personagem no decorrer da narrativa, quais fatores contribuíram para tal inversão e em que momento da vida dele isso ocorreu. A hipótese levantada, sustentada pelo conceito de devir em Gilles Deleuze e Félix Guattari, é de que o personagem, como qualquer ser humano, guarda em si devires animal, fera, máquina de guerra, além de possibilidades identitárias que podem escapar ao domínio consciente e racional.

Communication Skills Through the Reference Frameworks of Languages
Authors: Hidalgo Downing Raquel
Published: December 2019

In this paper, the didactic and training potential of the Reference Frameworks of Languages is studied and discussed, with special attention to the REFIC (Référentiel de compétences de communication plurilingue en intercompréhension). While elaboration and dissemination of such Frameworks of Reference have a not too long tradition in Europe, its impact has been such as to consolidate them as the main documents articulating the language teaching practices in European educational contexts. In the didactic paradigm of intercomprehension, the Referentials have undertaken the systematization of its theoretical-methodological foundations, as well as its evaluation practice. On a population of students specialized in language teaching, this study explores the use of the REFIC as a (self) assessment tool of communicative competences, didactic learning in a comparative study of frames, and reception analysis of the REFIC.

Der therapeutische Blick
Authors: Sinapius Peter
Published: December 2019

In der Gesundheitsversorgung spielt der Begriff »Krankheitsbild« eine Rolle, der eine Symptomatik in eine statistisch darstellbare Größe überführt. In der therapeutischen Praxis – wie z.B. in der humanistischen Psychologie – spielt darüber hinaus das »Menschenbild« eine Rolle, das einen entscheidenden Einfluss hat auf die therapeutische Beziehung und das individuelle Bild, das der Therapeut vom Patienten gewinnt. Rezeptionsästhetisch lässt sich der Begriff »Bild«, der hier in unterschiedlicher Weise Verwendung findet, differenziert beschreiben und mit ihm anthropologische und ästhetische Aspekte der therapeutischen Beziehung. Die Art und Weise der Wahrnehmung, mit der der Therapeut dem Patienten begegnet, bringt dabei nicht nur etwas über ihn in Erfahrung, sondern zeigt sich auch als aktive Geste, die Wirklichkeit neu konstituiert. Diese Wahrnehmung zeigt sich insbesondere da als relevant, wo sie auf ein Gegenüber trifft, das – wie z.B. Menschen im hohen Alter – aus einer pathologischen Perspektive in erster Linie an seinem Unvermögen oder seinen Defiziten gemessen wird.
Geomorphological factors of development and placement of settlements of Mostisky district of Lviv region
Authors: Bayrak Galyna
Published: November 2019

Historical features of development of settlements of Mostisky district of Lviv region of Ukraine and influence on their formation of geomorphological conditions of terrain are analyzed. Geomorphological factors of placement of settlements were important at the first historical stages of building of terrain in the Middle Ages. The first settlements were concentrated at lower elevations along the valleys. With the expansion of the network of fortified castles, which were built on the hills, rural development held in conjunction with the middle part of the hills. On the low-lying areas are built local elevated areas in the marshes, where people were hiding from enemy Tatar raids. In ХVIII–ХІХ centuries rural building expands again along the valleys, and built palaces and manors were located on the upper parts of the slopes. The new wave of increasing settlements refers to 30th years of the XXth century, the building blocks occupy the middle of the slope of the valleys and the upper beams. In 60–80th years of the XXth century is compacted blocks within settlements, as well as expansion of their neighbourhoods along the rivers and roads, rural industries in conjunction with a top of the slope. Modern building of the beginning of the XXIst century is mainly developed in the middle and upper portions of the slopes. The influence of relief on the modern structure of settlements and the prevailing relief situation of cities and villages of the district are defined in article.
