Transformation of education as the precondition of the establishment of episcopal see in Alexandria in second and third century
Authors: Kindiy Oleh
Published: November 2020

Starożytna Aleksandria to kosmopolityczna metropolia, swoiste skrzyżowanie kultur i religii Cesarstwa Rzymskiego oraz uznane centrum naukowe świata anty­cznego. Tę pozycję miasto zawdzięczało Ptolemeuszom. Owa wyrosła w okresie hellenistycznym stolica wschodniego basenu Morzy Śródziemnego stała się w II i III wieku po Chr. miejscem spotkania trzech najwyżniejszych nurtów religijno-społecznych epoki: hellenizmu, judaizmu i chrystianizmu. Chrześcijanie aleksan­dryjscy, aby uniezależnić się od silnych wpływów kwitnącego w mieście życia intelektualnego hellenizmu i judaizmu, zostali niejako zmuszeni do stworzenia własnego środowiska intelektualnego, którego podstawą stał się autonomiczny system edukacji. Przy jego tworzeniu szczególne miejsce przypadło judaizmowi. Funkcja nauczyciela, rabbi, niezwykle ważna w judaizmie, została przejęta przez młode chrześcijaństwo aleksandryjskie i zmodyfikowana w duchu grecko-rzym­skiej paidei. W konsekwencji powstał swego rodzaju nowy typ chrześcijańskiego nauczyciela-pedagoga. To właśnie hellenistyczny model edukacji, paideia, dopomógł prawdopodobnie chrystianizmowi uniezależnić się od modelu edu­kacji proponowanej przez judaizm. Było to również ściśle związane z napływem prozelitów helleńskich do młodej wspólnoty aleksandryjskich wyznawców Chrystusa. W konsekwecji nastąpiło w tamtejszym chrześcijaństwie przejście od modelu edukacji judaistycznej do modelu autonomicznego, w którym silna pozycja przypadła „pedagogice” grecko-rzymskiej. Transfomacja ta miała m.in. na celu podniesienie rangi szkolnictwa chrześcijańskiego i uczynienia go atrak­cyjnym dla helleńskich prozelitów. Klasyczna paideia pozwoliła chrześcijanom wejść do grona wykształconej społeczność metropolii nad Nilem, a biskupom Aleksandrii – następcom św. Marka – odgrywać ważną rolę w życiu miasta. Owo skrzyżowanie wpływów judaizmu i hellenizmu widać dobrze w twórczości Klemensa Aleksandryjskiego i Orygenesa, których dokonania wzmacniały (mimo wszystko) pozycję lokalnego biskupa. Drugim dowodem krzyżowania się rzeczonych wpływów jest powstanie gnozy chrześcijańskiej. W ten sposób Aleksandria stała się miejscem koegzystencji ortodoksji i heterodoksji w łonie chrystianizmu. Ów system edukacji chrześcijańskiej oparty na gruncie dziedzic­twa wielokulturowej metropolii znajdował się zatem niejako z konieczności pod kontrolą hierarchii kościelnej. Tak stworzono podwaliny pod przyszłą teologiczną hegemonię starożytnego patriarchatu aleksandryjskiego.
Biskupi Dyrrachionu w strukturach patriarchatu Konstantynopola (VII-XI wiek)
Authors: Dudek Jarosław
Published: November 2020

The Early Middle Ages brought grave losses to the Christian Churches in the East. It was only the patriarchate of Constantinople that managed to maintain its previous dignity. Starting form the end of the 7th century, one may notice the pa­triarchate activity in the western Balkans. That church substance, having survived barbarians invasion, was defined in the literature as „the bridge between the West and the East” and it became the subject matter of a rivalry with the papacy. The patriarchate of Constantinople, consistently supported by the emperors of the New Rome, gradually gained superiority in this field. A significant role in these changes was played by the attitude of the patriarchate towards the bishopric in Dyrrachion (at present Dürres in Albania). The majority of preserved written sources concern­ing this church centre was created in a defined relationship with projects pursued by some emperors and patriarchs. From this perspective, one may follow the evo­lution of the local bishopric status based on preserved registers of bishoprics sub­ject to Constantinople (Notitiae episcopatuum Ecclesiae Constantinopolitane) as well as the lists of attendance of Dyrrachion’s metropolitan bishops at the Trullan Synod (692) and The Second Council of Nicaea (787). In the first case, it is pos­sible to reconstruct the image of the mediaeval Dyrrachion metropolis clearly referring to the ancient church traditions of the New and Old Epirus (Epirus Vetus i Epirus Nova). However, the second preserved source data collection underlines quite high status of the bishops of Dyrrachion at synods and councils, which re­flects their growing position (in comparison with Thessaloniki, Corinth or Athens) in the organization structures of the patriarchate of Constantinople.
Radość z nawróconego grzesznika. Metanoia w nauczaniu Orygenesa
Authors: Duda Jerzy
Published: November 2020

In this article the subject of metanoia was presented and the joy from conver­ted sinner in the teaching of Origen in the context of parable „the lost sheep” according the Gospel of St. Luke in chapter 15. At the foundation of the Origen’s analysis there were the problems of salvation history and eschatology connected with the apocatastatis hypothesis. The return of the primitive community will be the source of perfect joy both for the fallen human-beings (because of their sins) and for those who persisted in God’s love. Metanoia is the process connected with beneficial intervention of God in the human history. The first stage of meta­noia, by which there is the absolvation of sins, is the sacrifice which Jesus Christ offered on the cross. Man receiving God’s love should turn his attention towards God once again, recompense for his sins and give the holy fruits of convertion. The process of metanoia is not only closed during the life in this world but is still going on after our death.

Günümüz çalışma ortamında çalışanlar iş yerlerinde çeşitli riskler ile karşı karşıya kalabilmektedir. Onların risk alma davranışları, iş yerlerindeki yaşam tarzı değişkenlerini şekillendirebilirken, aynı zamanda yaşam tarzı değişkenleri de iş yerinin sosyal performansı üzerinde çeşitli etkiler yaratabilir. Bu açıdan araştırmada çalışanların risk alma davranışları, iş yerindeki endişeli, sosyallik odaklı ve yenilik odaklı yaşam tarzı değişkenleri ve iş yerlerinin sosyal performansı arasındaki ilişkiler sosyal mübadele kuramı kapsamında araştırılmıştır. Alan yazında daha önce yapılan çalışmalar incelendiğinde; çalışanların risk alma davranışları, yaşam tarzı değişkenleri ve iş yerinin sosyal performansı arasındaki ilişkileri ortaya koyan herhangi bir çalışmaya rastlanılmamıştır. Araştırma ile bu eksikliğin tamamlanması amaçlanmaktadır. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre; çalışanların iş yerlerinde risk alma davranışları endişeli yaşam tarzlarını pozitif ve anlamlı olarak; sosyallik odaklı yaşam tarzlarını pozitif ve anlamsız olarak; yenilik odaklı yaşam tarzlarını ise negatif ve anlamsız olarak etkilemiştir. Çalışanların endişeli yaşam tarzları iş yerlerinin sosyal performansını negatif ve anlamlı olarak etkilemiştir. Çalışanların sosyallik odaklı yaşam tarzları ise iş yerinin sosyal performansını pozitif ve anlamlı bir şekilde etkilemiştir. Son olarak çalışanların yenilik odaklı yaşam tarzları da iş yerlerinin sosyal performansını pozitif ve anlamlı bir şekilde etkilemiştir. Bu sonuçlar sosyal mübadele kuramına çalışan ve organizasyon açısından önemli ve farklı katkılar sağlamıştır.

Published: November 2020

BACKGROUND: Gait analysis, such as portable gait rhythmogram (PGR), provides objective information that helps in the quantitative evaluation of human locomotion. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to assess the reliability of PGR in post-stroke patients. METHODS: Two raters (A and B) examined 48 post-stroke patients. To assess intra-rater reliability, rater A tested subjects on three separate occasions (Days 1, 2, and 3). To assess inter-rater reliability, raters A and B independently tested participants on the same occasion (Day 3). RESULTS: There was no significant systematic bias between test occasions or raters. Intraclass correlation coefficient values were 0.93–0.97 for intra-rater reliability at both the comfortable speed and maximum speed, and 0.97–0.98 (comfortable speed) and 0.97–0.99 (maximum speed) for inter-rater reliability. The standard error was 1.25–1.49 (comfortable speed) and 1.62–1.77 (maximum speed) for intra-rater investigation, and 1.04–1.32 (comfortable speed) and 0.91–1.26 (maximum speed) for inter-rater investigation. At the 90% confidence level, the minimum detectable change ranged from 2.9–4.1%, and the error of an individual’s score at a given time point ranged from ±2.1–2.9%. CONCLUSIONS: Based on this excellent reliability of the PGR in post-stroke patients, it can be recommended as a simple test of gait analysis in this population.
Core qualities of an educational program to reduce fears and beliefs of GPs about low back pain: Results of a GPs, experts and literature survey

Published: November 2020

BACKGROUND: Despite the fact that non-specific low back pain (LBP) is a frequent symptom, its management remains suboptimal in primary care. A plausible reason is the persistence of erroneous fears and beliefs among general practitioners (GPs). OBJECTIVE: We aimed to determine the core qualities an educational program should have to reduce erroneous fears and beliefs about LBP among GPs. METHODS: We used a two step-approach. In the first step, meaningful qualities were collected using comprehensive data source triangulation from GPs, experts and literature. In the second step, qualities were extracted by three independent investigators in a standardized manner using the Template for Intervention Description and Replication checklist. RESULTS: Qualities were collected from 8 GPs, 24 experts and 15 articles. Extraction revealed a wide range of qualities depending on participants’ background and literature. After consensus between investigators, the most meaningful qualities included evidence-based messages and web-based interventions (videos and classes) delivered by a multidisciplinary panel of experts. We found no systematic trend for when and how much, and how to tailor the intervention. CONCLUSIONS: Data source triangulation revealed that the core qualities of an educational program targeting fears and beliefs about LBP among GPs should include evidence-based information, web-based interventions and a multidisciplinary panel of experts. Our findings will help us to design a provisional targeted educational intervention. This will be further assessed in a mixed-method feasibility study and then in a randomized controlled trial.
Transparency in algorithmic decision-making: Ideational tensions and conceptual shifts in Finland
Authors: Ahonen Pertti , Erkkilä Tero
Published: November 2020

This article uses a theoretical and methodological framework derived from the political theorist Quentin Skinner and the conceptual historian Reinhart Koselleck to examine ideational and conceptual tensions and shifts related to the transparency of algorithmic and other automatic governmental decision-making in Finland. Most of the research material comprises national and international official documents and semi-structured expert interviews. In Finland, the concepts of ‘algorithmic transparency’ and other ‘transparency of automatic decision-making’ are situated amongst a complex array of legal, ethical, political, policy-oriented, managerial, and technical semantic fields. From 2016 to 2019 Finland’s Deputy Ombudsman of Parliament and the Constitutional Committee of Parliament pinpointed issues in algorithmic and other automatic decision-making with the consequence that at the turn of 2019 and 2020, the Ministry of Justice started moving towards the preparation of new legislation to resolve these issues. In conclusion and as expected, Finland’s version of the Nordic tradition of the public sphere with established legal guarantees of public access to government documents indeed has both important enabling and constraining effects upon resolving the transparency issues.
Fuzzy MRAS rotor resistance identification of BL-IM based on reactive power
Authors: Bu Wenshao , Zhang Fei , Chen Youpeng , Zhang Xiaofeng
Published: November 2020

As for the inverse decoupling control system of a bearingless induction motor (BL-IM), in order to eliminate the influence of rotor resistance variation on its control performance, on the basis of the reactive power calculation of torque system, a novel fuzzy model reference adaptive (MRAS) identification method of rotor resistance is proposed. The reference model and adjustable model of instantaneous reactive power are derived in detail. In order to improve the identification performance of rotor resistance, a fuzzy PI adaptive law based on popov super stability theory is constructed. On this basis, a rotor resistance identifier is constructed, and it is used to on-line correct the rotor resistance parameter in the inverse system mathematical model of a BL-IM system. Based on the inverse decoupling control system of a BL-IM, the simulation experimental analysis and verification are carried out. The simulation experimental results have shown that when the proposed identification method of rotor resistance is used, not only the identification- and tracking-speed of rotor resistance can be effectively improved, but also the identification accuracy of rotor resistance can be improved; as for the BL-IM system, after the rotor resistance parameter is on-line corrected, not only the inverse dynamic decoupling control performance can be effectively improved, but also the robustness of BL-IM system to the variation of rotor resistance parameters can be improved.
Influence of annealing temperature on nanocrystalline alloy’s excess loss parameters
Authors: Zhang Xiwei , Li Lin , Pang Jian
Published: November 2020

In this paper, both nanocrystalline alloy (Fe73.5Cu1Nb3Si15.5B7) ribbon samples and toroidal samples (wound ribbon) are annealed at different temperatures in order to consider the influence of inner stress on the magnetization properties. Then the AC magnetization properties of these samples are measured. Combined with the measured results, the influence of inner stress on nanocrystalline alloy’s microstructure is analyzed quantitatively based on the loss separation principle and the statistical theory of loss. By comparing measured macroscopic magnetization characteristics and excess loss, the equivalent stress state of the toroidal sample is evaluated. Furthermore, two kinds of samples’ excess loss under different annealing temperatures are analyzed, and the effectiveness of stress relief at optimal annealing temperature is validated.

Published: November 2020

The present study analyses the dissipative influence into an unsteady electrically conducting fluid flow embedded in a pervious medium over a shrinkable sheet. The behavior of thermal radiation and chemical reactions are also contemplated. The governing partial differential equations are reformed to ordinary differential equations by operating similarity transformations. The numerical outcomes for the arising non-linear boundary value problem are determined by implementing the Successive linearization method (SLM) via Matlab software. The velocity, temperature, and concentration magnitudes for distant values of the governing parametric quantities are conferred, and their conduct is debated via graphical curves. The surface drag coefficient increases, whereas the local Nusselt number and Sherwood number decreases for enhancing unsteadiness parameter across suction parameter. Moreover, the magnetic and suction parameters accelerate velocity magnitudes while by raising porosity parameter, velocity decelerates. Larger numeric of thermal radiation parameter and Eckert number accelerates the temperature profile while by enhancing Prandtl number it decelerates. Schmidt number and chemical reaction parameters slowdowns the concentration distribution, and the chemical reaction parameter influences on the point of chemical reaction that benefits the interface mass transfer. It is expected that the current achieved results will furnish fruitful knowledge in industrious utilities.
A novel high-precision motion control for permanent magnet linear synchronous motor servo system
Authors: Yuan Hao , Zhao Ximei , Fu Dongxue
Published: November 2020

In this paper, a novel high-precision motion control is proposed for a permanent magnet linear synchronous motor (PMLSM) servo system, which is vulnerable to the influence of uncertainties. First, the dynamics of the PMLSM with uncertainties are derived. To cater for the parametric uncertainties, the model-based feedforward control is constructed so that the transient response of the system is improved. Moreover, the adaptive jerk control (AJC) scheme based on a robust integral of the sign of the error (RISE) feedback is adapted to restrain the uncertainties such as external disturbance and nonlinear friction in the system. To alleviate the chattering phenomenon, a novel exponential adaptive law is designed to bound the feedback gain of the jerk, under the condition of the initial term of control efforts considered. Then, the jerk signal is integrated to form the feedback control law, which generates continuous control input and ensures the stability of the system. Compared with sliding mode control (SMC), the experimental results indicate that both the robustness and tracking performance of the system are significantly improved without adding more control efforts. The position tracking error is reduced and high-frequency oscillation is effectively attenuated.
MFV: Application software for the visualization and characterization of the DC magnetic field distribution in circular coil systems
Authors: Torres-Osorio J. , Sabogal-Suárez D. , Alzate-Cardona J.D. , Restrepo-Parra E.
Published: November 2020

The characterization of the magnetic field distribution is essential in experiments and devices that use magnetic field coil systems. We present an open-source application software, MFV (Magnetic Field Visualizer), for the visualization of the distribution of the magnetic field produced by circular coil systems. MFV models, simulates, and plots the magnetic field of coil systems composed by any number of circular coils of any size placed symmetrically along the same axis. Therefore, any new design or well-known coil system, such as the Helmholtz or the Maxwell coil, can be easily modeled and simulated using MFV. A graph of the homogeneity of the magnetic field can be also produced, showing the work region where the magnetic field is homogeneous according to a percentage of homogeneity given by the user. A standardized input and output file format are employed to facilitate the exchange and archiving of data. We include some results obtained using MFV, showing its applicability to characterize the magnetic field in different coil systems. Furthermore, the magnetic field results provided by MFV were validated by comparing them with results obtained experimentally in a commercial Helmholtz coil. Obtaining the maximum variability between the experimental and simulation magnetic flux density values along the axis of symmetry is 0.87%.
OWMA: An improved self-regulatory woodpecker mating algorithm using opposition-based learning and allocation of local memory for solving optimization problems
Authors: Karimzadeh Parizi Morteza , Keynia Farshid , Khatibi bardsiri Amid
Published: November 2020

Success of metaheuristic algorithms depends on the efficient balance between of exploration and exploitation phases. Any optimization algorithm requires a combination of diverse exploration and proper exploitation to avoid local optima. This paper proposes a new improved version of the Woodpecker Mating Algorithm (WMA), based on opposition-based learning, known as the OWMA aiming to develop exploration and exploitation capacities and establish a simultaneous balance between these two phases. This improvement consists of three major mechanisms, the first of which is the new Distance Opposition-based Learning (DOBL) mechanism for improving exploration, diversity, and convergence. The second mechanism is the allocation of local memory of personal experiences of search agents for developing the exploitation capacity. The third mechanism is the use of a self-regulatory and dynamic method for setting the Hα parameter to improve the Running Away function (RA) performance. The ability of the proposed algorithm to solve 23 benchmark mathematical functions was evaluated and compared to that of a series of the latest and most popular metaheuristic methods reviewed in the research literature. The proposed algorithm is also used as a Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) neural network trainer to solve the classification problem on four biomedical datasets and three function approximation datasets. In addition, the OWMA algorithm was evaluated in five optimization problems constrained by the real world. The simulation results proved the superior and promising performance of the proposed algorithm in the majority of evaluations. The results prove the superiority and promising performance of the proposed algorithm in solving very complicated optimization problems.

Traditional object detection algorithms and strategies are difficult to meet the requirements of data processing efficiency, performance, speed and intelligence in object detection. Through the study and imitation of the cognitive ability of the brain, deep learning can analyze and process the data features. It has a strong ability of visualization and becomes the mainstream algorithm of current object detection applications. Firstly, we have discussed the developments of traditional object detection methods. Secondly, the frameworks of object detection (e.g. Region-based CNN (R-CNN), Spatial Pyramid Pooling Network (SPP-NET), Fast-RCNN and Faster-RCNN) which combine region proposals and convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are briefly characterized for optical remote sensing applications. You only look once (YOLO) algorithm is the representative of the object detection frameworks (e.g. YOLO and Single Shot MultiBox Detector (SSD)) which transforms the object detection into a regression problem. The limitations of remote sensing images and object detectors have been highlighted and discussed. The feasibility and limitations of these approaches will lead researchers to prudently select appropriate image enhancements. Finally, the problems of object detection algorithms in deep learning are summarized and the future recommendations are also conferred.
Making music to making lives better: A transition from musician to health professional
Authors: Stanhope Jessica
Published: November 2020

The day my pain specialist told me I would never be pain-free again, I knew my music career was over. I was 21 years old, and had been in constant pain for about two years. I had experienced intermittent jaw pain for about 10 years, but having braces on my teeth, and later having my wisdom teeth removed was supposed to fix it. It did not. The day of my surgery was the last time I had been pain free, even for a second. The years that followed were horrible, and my life was turned upside down.
Predictors of health-related absenteeism, presenteeism and sick leave among brazilian elementary school teachers: A cross-sectional study
Authors: Coledam Diogo Henrique Constantino , da Silva Yara Machado
Published: November 2020

BACKGROUND: The health risks that usually affect teachers are already known; however, the predictors of health related absenteeism, presenteeism, and sick leave have not yet been fully described. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the predictors of health-related absenteeism, presenteeism, and sick leave among elementary school teachers. METHODS: This study involved a probabilistic sample of 519 Brazilian elementary school teachers. The outcomes were days of health-related absenteeism, presenteeism, and sick leave in the previous 12 months. Work-place and individual factors were the independent variables analyzed. RESULTS: Inadequate infrastructure of schools, disability, and medical consultations were positively associated with all outcomes. Teachers who reported having a chronic disease, common mental disorders, and voice disorders presented higher absenteeism and presenteeism days. Musculoskeletal pain and low job support were associated with higher presenteeism and sick leave days. Teachers who performed strength and flexibility activities presented less presenteeism, those who reported physical violence at school were more frequently absent, and teachers with depersonalization presented a higher likelihood of sick leave. CONCLUSIONS: The prevention of health-related absenteeism, presenteeism, and sick leave among elementary teachers should ensure adequate work conditions and prevention and monitoring of health risks.

BACKGROUND: Exercise has been demonstrated as effective for the treatment of low back pain (LBP) in workers. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to investigate whether an exercise program adapted to the characteristics of the workplace is a useful supplement to general exercise recommendations in assembly line workers with chronic LBP. METHODS: Workers were randomly assigned to intervention group-adapted exercises plus general exercise recommendations (n = 10), and control group-general exercise recommendations (n = 8). Both received 8-week exercise program through a mobile application (APP) to manage the intervention. Outcome was based on lumbar disability (Oswestry Disability Index), interference and lumbar pain intensity (Brief Pain Inventory), and kinematic parameters. RESULTS: Significant differences were obtained for the intervention group in the “pain interference” variable, in the “mood” and “enjoyment” sub-variables, as well as in “flexion angle” variable. For the control group, significant differences occurred in the “pain intensity” variable. Adapted exercise plus general recommendations seems more effective than the general recommendations for the improvement of lumbar flexion. CONCLUSIONS: An adapted exercise program for assembly line workers with chronic LBP could be an effective treatment. Future studies with a larger sample size and with an exhaustive control of the exercise adherence are required to confirm the findings of this pilot study.
Lack of English proficiency is associated with the characteristics of work- related injury and recovery cost in the Victorian working population

Published: November 2020

BACKGROUND: Migrant workers have been identified in Europe, North America, Asia and Australia as a particularly vulnerable working population with a higher risk of work-related injury and mortality compared to non-migrant workers. Lack of English language proficiency is associated with an increased risk of work-related injury. Whether lack of English proficiency influences post-injury recovery or return to work outcomes remains unknown. OBJECTIVE: Using administrative data from a population based workers’ compensation dataset in the state of Victoria, Australia, we aimed to examine work-related injury rates, worker characteristics and compensation outcomes in workers who were not proficient in English. We hypothesized that the use of an interpreter service would be associated with a poorer post-injury recovery profile and worse return to work outcomes. METHODS: WorkSafe Victoria accepted non-fatal claims for injuries and illnesses reported between January 1, 2003, and December 31, 2012 by workers aged 15 to 74 (n = 402, 828 claims) were analysed. Consistent with prior research, we selected “use of an interpreter service” as the indicator of English language proficiency. The total and categorical compensable cost of recovery was used as recovery outcomes. RESULTS: Of these claims, 16,286 (4%) involved the use of an interpreter service (LOTE workers). Our analysis revealed that Victorian injured LOTE workers have significantly different demographic, occupational and injury characteristics compared to non-LOTE injured workers. Furthermore, we present novel evidence that LOTE status was associated with poorer long-term injury outcomes, observed as a greater healthcare utilisation and larger paid income benefits, after controlling for occupation, employment status and injury type compared to non-LOTE injured workers. CONCLUSIONS: These data suggest that English language proficiency is associated not only with the risk of work-related injury but also to the long-term recovery outcomes. We conclude that despite access to language interpreter services, injured LOTE workers experience English language proficiency dependent, and injury severity independent, recovery barriers which need to be overcome to improve long term recovery outcomes.
The relationship between long working hours and weight gain in older workers in Europe
Authors: Guner Umit , Guner Neslihan
Published: November 2020

BACKGROUND: Several studies have been performed on the relationship between working conditions and health. Numerous parameters still require further study, including working hours and obesity among different groups, specifically older workers in national, regional, and international levels. OBJECTIVE: Working hours have considerable effects on the socio-cultural, psychological, and economic aspects of people’s lives and health. While long working hours increases income level and raises living standards, it increases the risk of certain health problems. This study investigated whether working hours are associated with obesity in upper-middle-aged workers. METHODS: The Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) dataset was used for the analyses. Analyses were carried out by means of a Cox regression of the panel dataset created with the data in question, surveyed by European Commission to 12,000 participants. RESULTS: The survey was performed in Austria, Belgium, Switzerland, Germany, Denmark, Spain, France, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, Sweden, the Czech Republic, Poland, and Ireland. We found that in most countries, especially Sweden and the Netherlands, upper-middle-aged employees working > 59 hours per week are more likely to gain weight than their counterparts working < 59 hours. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings raise awareness of obesity in older workers, and highlight the need to regulate working conditions and hours in the European Union and other countries.

Frequent pattern mining is an essential data-mining task, with a goal of discovering knowledge in the form of repeated patterns. Many efficient pattern-mining algorithms have been discovered in the last two decades, yet most do not scale to the type of data we are presented with today, the so-called “Big Data”. Scalable parallel algorithms hold the key to solving the problem in this context. This paper reviews recent advances in parallel frequent pattern mining, analysing them through the Big Data lens. Load balancing and work partitioning are the major challenges to be conquered. These challenges always invoke innovative methods to do, as Big Data evolves with no limits. The biggest challenge than before is conquering unstructured data for finding frequent patterns. To accomplish this Semi Structured Doc-Model and ranking of patterns are used.
