The COVID-19 pandemic altered the modality, but not the frequency, of formal cognitive assessment.
Authors: Webb Sam Sappho , Kontou Eirini , Demeyere Nele
Published: December 2020

PurposeWe investigated the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the modality of formal cognitive assessments (in-person versus remote assessments).Materials and MethodsWe created a web-based survey with 34 items and collected data from 114 respondents from a range of health care professions and settings. We established the proportion of cognitive assessments which were face-to-face or via video or telephone conferencing, both pre- and post-March 2020. Further, we asked respondents about the assessment tools used and perceived barriers, challenges and facilitators for the remote assessment of cognition. In addition, we asked questions specifically about the use of the Oxford Cognitive Screen.ResultsWe found that the frequency of assessing cognition was stable compared to pre-pandemic levels. Use of telephone and video conferencing cognitive assessments increased by 10% and 18% respectively. Remote assessment increased accessibility to participants and safety but made observing the subtleties of behaviour during test administration difficult. The respondents called for an increase in the availability of standardised, validated, and normed remote assessments. ConclusionsWe conclude that the pandemic has not been detrimental to the frequency of cognitive assessments. In addition, a shift in clinical practice to include remote cognitive assessments is clear and wider availability of validated and standardised remote assessments is necessary.

Working From Home and the Division of Housework and Childcare Among Dual Earner Couples During the Pandemic in the UK
Authors: Chung Heejung , Birkett Holly , Forbes Sarah , Seo Hyojin
Published: December 2020

This paper examines how working from home influenced the division of childcare and housework among dual earning heterosexual couples with children in the UK during the first wave of the COVID-19 lockdown. We use unique data gathered during the peak of the UK lockdown (May-June), when many employees were required to work from home, to see whether fathers flexible working was associated with a more equitable division of housework and childcare. We found mothers were more likely to be the ones carrying out more if not all of five of the six categories of housework and care we examined – namely, cooking, cleaning, routine and non-routine childcare, and the education of children/home-schooling, both before and during the lockdown. This was not the case for the DIY tasks. A multivariate regression analysis showed that when fathers worked from home or using flexitime during the lockdown, a more equal division was found for tasks such as cleaning, routine childcare, and to some extent home schooling. Furthermore, fathers who worked flexibly were more likely to report that they had increased the amount of time they spent on housework and care. Mothers also reported that fathers who worked from home increased the time they spent on routine childcare. Overall, the study shows how flexible working, including working from home among men, especially done on a mass scale where there are no negative assumptions or stigma behind its use, may lead to a more equitable distribution of housework and childcare. Policy makers should encourage more men to work from home in order to support families and women’s labour market participation during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.
Visibility layers: a framework for systematising the gender gap in Wikipedia content
Authors: Beytía Pablo , Wagner Claudia
Published: December 2020

The gender gap in Wikipedia content is a complex phenomenon that comprises several asymmetries, discursive dimensions, and social concerns. However, there is no theoretical framework to organise this complexity consistently. Based on writings by Foucault, Deleuze and Tkacz, we interpret Wikipedia as a 'field of visibility' and provide a framework to systemise its content gaps. Then we use that model to organise the complexity of the content gender gap on Wikipedia, performing a systematic overview of the asymmetries tested in empirical research. We suggest that this analysis is relevant for the effective planning of governance processes that seek to avoid female or non-male subordination in digital platforms' discourses.
Making Meaning out of Numbers: Demographic Knowledge and Evaluations of Racial Diversity
Authors: Xu Janet
Published: December 2020

In recent years, cultural sociologists have analyzed how “diversity” emerged as the dominant framework for discussing racial and ethnic inequality in neighborhoods, schools, and organizations. Less attention has been paid to what people actually consider “diverse”. Social psychologists have studied how evaluations of racial and ethnic diversity vary systematically across individuals of different racial identities, but they have not theorized the role of socially shared reference points in shaping these judgments, or how evaluations may vary across other salient dimensions, such as political party affiliation. Using a survey experiment (N= 2009), I examine how ratings of diversity for white-majority neighborhoods and white-minority neighborhoods vary by respondents’ political party affiliations and how the presence of commonly shared demographic reference points shapes these judgments. When evaluating white-majority populations, Democrats, Independents, and Republicans draw different qualitative interpretations from the same quantitative data, but this evaluative disagreement is ameliorated when people are anchored with shared reference points. This research contributes to our understandings of how people interpret and evaluate racial diversity, and to how people make meaning from numbers in the absence of strongly institutionalized commensuration.

On a Generalised Exponential-Lindley Mixture of Generalised Poisson Distribution
Authors: Sah Binod Kumar , Mishra A.
Published: December 2020

Background: A mixture distribution arises when some or all parameters in a mixing distribution vary according to the nature of original distribution. A generalised exponential-Lindley distribution (GELD) was obtained by Mishra and Sah (2015). In this paper, generalized exponential- Lindley mixture of generalised Poisson distribution (GELMGPD) has been obtained by mixing generalised Poisson distribution (GPD) of Consul and Jain’s (1973) with GELD. In the proposed distribution, GELD is the original distribution and GPD is a mixing distribution. Generalised exponential- Lindley mixture of Poisson distribution (GELMPD) was obtained by Sah and Mishra (2019). It is a particular case of GELMGPD.

Materials and Methods: GELMGPD is a compound distribution obtained by using the theoretical concept of some continuous mixtures of generalised Poisson distribution of Consul and Jain (1973). In this mixing process, GELD plays a role of original distribution and GPD is considered as mixing distribution.

Results: Probability mass of function (pmf) and the first four moments about origin of the generalised exponential-Lindley mixture of generalised Poisson distribution have been obtained. The method of moments has been discussed to estimate parameters of the GELMGPD. This distribution has been fitted to a number of discrete data-sets which are negative binomial in nature. P-value of this distribution has been compared to the PLD of Sankaran (1970) and GELMPD of Sah and Mishra (2019) for similar type of data-sets.

Conclusion: It is found that P-value of GELMGPD is greater than that in each case of PLD and GELMPD. Hence, it is expected to be a better alternative to the PLD of Sankaran and GELMPD of Sah and Mishra for similar types of discrete data-sets which are negative binomial in nature. It is also observed that GELMGPD gives much more significant result when the value of is negative.

Prescribing trends in direct-acting antivirals for the treatment of hepatitis C in Ontario, Canada
Authors: Tadrous Mina , Mason Kate , Dodd Zoë , Guyton Mary , Powis Jeff , McCormack Daniel , Gomes Tara
Published: December 2020

Background: Direct-acting antivirals (DAA) offer an opportunity to cure hepatitis C. Reimbursement for DAAs has changed on two occasions since their inclusion on the Ontario public formulary. Whether these changes have appreciably modified prescribing patterns and increased access to DAAs is unknown. Methods: We conducted a repeated cross-sectional study of DAA reimbursement by the Ontario Public Drug Programs from January 1, 2012, to December 31, 2018, to summarize the use of DAAs in Ontario and describe changes in DAA prescribing physician specialties over this period. We measured the total number of users quarterly. Results are reported overall and by prescriber type. Results: A total of 27,116 individuals received a publicly funded prescription for a DAA from the first quarter (Q1) of 2012 to the fourth quarter (Q4) of 2018. Nearly two-thirds ( n = 17,813; 65.7%) of all DAAs were prescribed by gastroenterologists, hepatologists, or infectious disease specialists. Use of DAAs over time appears to have had three major phases in uptake: ( 1 ) the introduction of DAA treatments on the Ontario public drug formulary as a prior authorization benefit in Q1 2015, ( 2 ) expanded listing of all DAAs as limited-use products on the formulary in Q1 2017, and ( 3 ) the introduction of newer DAAs in Q2 2018. Conclusions: Changes in listing of these agents had a direct impact on the use of DAAs overall. Generally, broader listing expanded access but did not appear to shift utilization patterns to primary care prescribers. Further understanding of who is not receiving treatment is needed.

Background: The first case of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Alberta, Canada, was confirmed on March 5, 2020. Because the virus testing criteria had changed significantly over this time period, we wanted to ascertain whether previous cases of COVID-19 had been missed in the province. Methods: Our aim was to retrospectively evaluate specimens submitted for respiratory virus testing from December 1, 2019, through March 7, 2020, for undetected severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections before the first confirmed case. Results: Testing of 23,517 samples (representing 23,394 patients) identified 1 patient positive for SARS-CoV-2. This specimen was collected on February 24, 2020, from a patient with symptoms consistent with COVID-19 who had recently returned from the western United States. Phylogenetic analysis confirmed this viral isolate belonged to lineage B.1. The epidemiology of this case is consistent with those of other early cases before sustained community transmission, which included a travel history outside of Canada. Conclusion: This exercise provides support that local public health pandemic planning was satisfactory and timely.

Die zunehmende Vernetzung von Maschinen und Anlagen verändert Produkte, Unternehmen, und Wettbewerbsgrenzen. Die Entwertung reiner Produkt-Hardware zwingt traditionell produktgetriebene Unternehmen, digitale Services zu entwickeln, um sich weiterhin Alleinstellungsmerkmale und Wettbewerbsvorteile zu sichern. Jedoch schaffen es nur die wenigsten Marktteilnehmer, diese Lösungen auch profitabel und wettbewerbsfähig in ihr Geschäftsmodell zu integrieren. Um Unternehmen mit dieser Problemstellung einen Ausweg zu ermöglichen, behandelt der vorliegende Beitrag die Entwicklung einer Methodik zur Ausarbeitung von Geschäftsmodellen für das Internet der Dinge. Hierfür werden Geschäftsmodellmuster zu Grunde gelegt, die auf erfolgreichen Geschäftsmodellen aus der Praxis basieren und damit für 90 Prozent aller Geschäftsmodellinnovationen stehen.

Published: December 2020

Abstract

The present study aims at revealing the impact of engagement in out-of-class learning on foreign language students’ language proficiency. Accordingly, the relationship of private university EFL students’ involvement in English language activities outside the classroom with their language proficiency is investigated. The researcher designed a study based on descriptive quantitative research method utilizing a questionnaire comprising 25 items and administered it to the freshmen from English language teaching, biology education, physics education, and mathematics education departments at the education faculty of a private university in Erbil. 87 participants responded to the questionnaire. The statistical analysis of data was performed through SPSS 25 data editor. The results show that the most frequent activities in which English is practiced are entertaining activities like watching movies, videos, and surfing on the Internet, and that the level of the students’ involvement in English language activities outside the classroom is positively associated with their language proficiency. This research could be beneficial for language teachers to show how to encourage their students to start practice outside the classroom, for students to offer some ways to augment their language proficiency with the application of English in authentic environments, and for educational administrators to give some ideas for curriculum design including out-of-class learning.

Keywords: English as a foreign language (EFL), English language activities outside the classroom, language proficiency, out-of-class learning, second language acquisition (SLA)

djela. Nakon, dakle, početne opservacije Statuta pod izravnim svjetlom u svrhu
dobivanja daljnjih podataka o stanju iluminacije provedeno je njezino snimanje
pod kosim svjetlom. Tom je tehnikom snimanja objekta omogućena bolja vidljivost
površinske strukture osvijetljenih oslika raspeća (23,5x17 cm) uokvirenoga u
floralni okvir koji zauzima cijelu površinu folija 6v, stilizirano slovo D i floralni okvir koji se nalaze na
foliju 7r te još sedam ukrašenih inicijala koji se nalaze na folijima: 8r (II),
9r (III), 41r (XXXVI), 50r (XLV), 60r (LXV), 89r (LXXXIIII) i 93r (LXXXXVIII). Nakon
fotografiranja iluminacije pod kosim svjetlom obavljena je i identifikacija
pigmenata koji su upotrijebljeni za izradu tih minijatura i tinte. Utvrđena je
diskoloracija azurita, malahita i kobaltnoga pigmenta što je
temeljna dijagnoza koja ukazuje na potrebu stabilizacije ovih pigmenata
restauratorsko-konzervatorskim postupkom. Rekonstrukcija slikanoga dijela nije
uputna zbog oštećenja pergamene i prevelikoga zadiranja u izvornost iluminacije
jer je velika površina koja obuhvaća nedostatak boje. Zbog teškoća u opisivanju
ovako složenih mehaničkih oštećenja pokazalo se da je fotografija nezamjenjiv
dokument kojim se može ostvariti uvid u stanje minijatura u trenutku snimanja.

Mjesni narodni odbor Sveta Nedelja kao tijelo lokalne
uprave s radom počinje u srpnju 1947. naslijedivši dotadašnji Mjesni narodni
odbor Općine Sveta Nedelja (1945. – 1947.). Područje njegove nadležnosti
obuhvaćalo je područje Svete Nedelje (Nedešćine) s okolnim mjestima, selima i
zaseocima. Mjesni narodni odbor Sveta Nedelja bio je neposredno podređen
Narodnom odboru kotara Labin (1945. – 1955.). S radom prestaje u travnju 1952.
kada područje njegove nadležnosti prelazi pod novoosnovani Narodni odbor Općine
Sveta Nedelja (1952. – 1955.). Prestankom rada stvaratelja gradivo
je bilo pohranjeno u arhivu sljednika, sve dok ga u više navrata između 1973. i
1975. godine nije Skupština Općine Labin predala u Državni Arhiv u Pazinu (tada
Historijski arhiv – Pazin). Gradivo fonda sređivano je tijekom 2013. i 2014.
godine te je u veljači 2014. izrađen sumarni inventar. Struktura je fonda
formirana sukladno sadržajno-funkcionalnom modelu sređivanja djelomice se
oslanjajući na pravila iz Naredbe o planu
jedinstvenih arhivskih znakova za sve organe uprave na teritoriju Narodne
Republike Hrvatske (NN 7/58) iz 1958. godine. Fond je podijeljen na
sljedeće osnovne jedinice (serije): »Registraturna
pomagala«, »Opći poslovi«, »Rad i radni odnosi«, »Unutrašnji poslovi«, »Privreda«, »Financije«, »Imovinsko-pravni poslovi«, »Zdravstvo«, »Socijalna zaštita«, »Prosvjeta i kultura«, »Pravosuđe« i »Narodna obrana«. Gradivo sadrži pretežno spise iz
područja privrede, odnosno poljoprivrede, te trgovine i opskrbe. Sačuvani su i
spisi iz financijske oblasti, naročito u svezi s poreznom problematikom, te
spisi imovinsko-pravne problematike u svezi s predmetima agrarne reforme i
kolonizacije te pitanjima optanata. Fond sadrži i spise iz područja socijalne
zaštite, odnosno predmete u svezi s problematikom vojnih invalida, maloljetnika
i dr. Gradivo fonda stoga predstavlja dragocjen izvor o društveno-socijalnim
prilikama u mjestu i razdoblju djelovanja stvaratelja.
Political Finance Reforms: How to respond to today’s policy challenges?
Authors: Hamada Yukihiko , Agrawal Khushbu
Published: December 2020

Money is a necessary component of any democracy: it enables political participation, campaigning and representation. However, if it is not effectively regulated, it can undermine the integrity of political processes and institutions, and jeopardize the quality of democracy. Therefore, regulations related to the funding of political parties and election campaigns, commonly known as political finance, are a critical way to promote integrity, transparency and accountability in any democracy. Political finance regulations must adapt and adjust to political, economic and societal changes. This report contributes to the discussion of the future of political finance by exploring the following trends, opportunities and challenges related to money in politics that need to be taken into consideration when improving political finance systems: • mainstreaming political finance regulations into an overall anti-corruption framework; • supporting the implementation of existing political finance regulations and monitoring their performance; • harnessing digital technologies to ensure transparency and accountability in political finance; and • designing targeted political finance measures to encourage the inclusion of underrepresented groups in politics.

The language spoken by the masses of Indian descent in Padang is one of the social dialects that occurs in the city of Padang other than the Minangkabau dialect spoken by Chinese descendants, and the descendants of Nias. The ethnic customs of India in speaking and communicating have been accustomed to mixing their mother tongue with Minangkabau language, so that there has been a mixture of vocabulary that they say. Because the mixes are so swift, there has been mixed code-mixing in their language.              

The approach in researching this problem is used in sociological approach to achieve the objectives of this research. The purpose of this study is to explain the language changes that occur among ethnic Indians in the city of Padang. The theory is implemented in researching the phenomenon of language changes that occur and studied by using linguistic theories. After obtaining the data, the authors make a formula of mixing code (code mixing) which is found in the speech of ethnic Indian in the city of Padang. This study uses field research methods to obtain significant data and literature study to obtain theories that will be used as the basic theory in this thesis. Techniques of collecting data, among others, by using qualitative methods, which in this case the authors obtain data through 7 people informants in accordance with the criteria NORM (Nonmobile Older Rural Males). From seven people as the informan, the writer can apply recording techniques  to obtain significant data.              

The results of the research conducted, the writer finds language changes that are influenced by Minangkabau language, Chinese Padang language and Indonesian language. The changing that occur among others, change vowel /i/ become /e/ in the middle of the word, disappearance of consonant /h/ in the beginning, middle, and end of word. Consonant removal /r/ in the middle and end of word. The impingement  /to/  at the end of the word, vowel /u/ being /o/ in the middle and end of the word, consonant splitting /t/ to /k/, vowel /a/ being /o/ the consonant splitting /p/ into /?/, the /ŋ/ being /a/ at the end of the word, vowel /e/ being /a/ in the middle and beginning of the word. The disappearance of vowel /e/ in the middle of the word, the disappearance of consonant /d/ in the beginning and middle of the word, as well as the disappearance of consonant /p/ at the end of the word. The Indians ethnic code mixing can be formulated by using the theory of code mixing.
An approach for outlier and novelty detection for text data based on classifier confidence
Authors: Pižurica Nikola , Tomović Savo
Published: December 2020

In this paper we present an approach for novelty detection in text data. The approach can also be considered as semi-supervised anomaly detection because it operates with the training dataset containing labelled instances for the known classes only. During the training phase the classification model is learned. It is assumed that at least two known classes exist in the available training dataset. In the testing phase instances are classified as normal or anomalous based on the classifier confidence. In other words, if the classifier cannot assign any of the known class labels to the given instance with sufficiently high confidence (probability), the instance will be declared as novelty (anomaly). We propose two procedures to objectively measure the classifier confidence. Experimental results show that the proposed approach is comparable to methods known in the literature.
