Authors: GUSHCHA Sergey , PLAKIDA Alexander , NASIBULLIN Boris , VOLYANSKA Veronica , SAVITSKYІ Ivan , GLADKІY Tatyana
Published: September 2019

In the modern world, a lack of magnesium in the body is one of the most common deficient conditions in humans. Low levels of magnesium have been associated with a number of chronic diseases. This work is devoted to the study of the effect of the use of the balneological means "Magnesium oil" for the correction of the manifestations of experimentally induced magnesium deficiency. The experiment was conducted on 50 white female rats of the Wistar auto-breeding line which were divided into 3 equal groups: (1) control, (2) model of magnesium deficiency, (3) received "Magnesium oil". As a result of modeling the state of magnesium deficiency, significant changes are observed in the central nervous system, vegetative nervous system, and kidneys of animals. The use of balneological means "Magnesium oil" can significantly reduce the negative manifestations of magnesium deficiency.
Role of rehabilitation in prevention of early thromboembolic complications in hemorrhagic stroke

Published: September 2019

Hemorrhagic strokes (ICH) affects mainly young active people, with increasing incidence in developing countries. Mortality is high in acute phase, and patients are prone to complications related to stroke itself and to coexisting medical conditions. Patients with ICH are at high risk in developing deep venous thrombosis (DVT) with secondary pulmonary embolism (PE). Prevention of venous thrombotic events in hemorrhagic stroke patients requires intermittent pneumatic compression and preventive doses of low molecular weight heparins (LMWH) in high-risk patients. If DVT and /or PE occurs, the therapeutic management should balance the risk of recurrent cerebral bleeding and the life-threatening risk of PE, making the decision to start anticoagulation challenging. We present a case of a young patient with a large hypertensive capsulo-lenticular hemorrhage, who was diagnosed with pulmonary embolism 21 days after stroke onset. The decision was for anticoagulant treatment initial with LWMH, and switch to direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC) after 10 days; strict control of vascular risk factors of the patients (hypertension, diabetes and obesity) was achieved. Rehabilitation treatment, delayed until day 21, was recommended with progressive intensity. Evolution of the patient was favorable, with complete hematoma resorbtion under DOAC treatment at 10 weeks follow-up and important motor recovery. Rehabilitation program was intensive during this interval, and strongly contributive to neurologic improvement.
Prevalence of clinical manifestations of temporomandibular osteoarthrosis
Authors: BOCHIS Calin , LAZAR Liviu , NISTOR-CSEPPENTO Carmen , CIOARA Felicia , PASCALAU Nicoleta
Published: September 2019

Introduction. The two compartments, disco-temporal and condilo-discal, which make up the temporo-mandibular joint, fulfill the functions of the stomatognathic system, namely: phonation, mastication and swallowing. The temporo-mandibular degenerative pathology is one of the 5 clinical entities given by the American Academy of Orofacial Pain in 1993. The symptoms are varied, dominated by pain, impaired joint mobility, cracks, sensation of muscle fatigue in the masseter and temporal muscles. Most cases benefit from conservative treatment, consisting of anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory medication, specific orthodontic treatment, electrotherapy (TENS, ultrasound, magnetodiaflux, laser), kinesiotherapy. 2-5% of patients require surgery. Material and method. We performed a retrospective study, over a 9-year period (January 2010-March 2019), in which we included 503 patients who went to the Timisoara Oro-Maxillofacial Surgery Clinic, with a definite diagnosis of temporomandibular algodisfunctional syndrome, of different etiologies, between the ages of 6 and 85 years. We evaluated the etiology of temporomandibular algodisfunctional syndrome, the prevalence of clinical manifestations in temporomandibular osteoarthritis and their evolution after 10 days of conservative treatment. Results and discussions. Pain is present in 100% of cases, the values obtained in these patients with temporomandibular osteoarthritis are between 10 and 40mm. Cracks are present in women in the percentage of 40.8% and 37.9% in men; mobility limitation is found in women in 11% of cases, and in men in 15% of cases. Conclusions. The existence of a protocol for the diagnosis of TM osteoarthritis is essential to establish the treatment plan and prognosis of the disease. The pain from osteoarthritis TM is low intensity, present in all patients; cracks and limiting mobility are present in comparable proportions, regardless of gender. The response to treatment was optimal at 21 days of treatment.

Semidefinite Relaxations for Lebesgue and Gaussian Measures of Unions of Basic Semialgebraic Sets
Authors: Lasserre Jean B. , Emin Youssouf
Published: September 2019

Given a finite Borel measure [Formula: see text] on [Formula: see text] and basic semialgebraic sets [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], we provide a systematic numerical scheme to approximate as closely as desired [Formula: see text], when all moments of [Formula: see text] are available (and finite). More precisely, we provide a hierarchy of semidefinite programs whose associated sequence of optimal values is monotone and converges to the desired value from above. The same methodology applied to the complement [Formula: see text] provides a monotone sequence that converges to the desired value from below. When [Formula: see text] is the Lebesgue measure, we assume that [Formula: see text] is compact and contained in a known box [Formula: see text], and in this case the complement is taken to be [Formula: see text]. In fact, not only [Formula: see text] but also every finite vector of moments of [Formula: see text] (the restriction of [Formula: see text] on [Formula: see text]) can be approximated as closely as desired and so permits to approximate the integral on [Formula: see text] of any given polynomial.

The role of super interest groups in public policy diffusion
Authors: DeMora Stephanie L. , Collingwood Loren , Ninci Adriana
Published: September 2019

In recent years scholarship has drawn attention to the role of large multi-issue interest groups in policy networks and in public policy diffusion. This paper develops this field of study by demonstrating empirically the leverage of the ‘sustained organisational influence’ theory of policy diffusion. Specifically, it focuses on the role of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) in diffusing the Stand Your Ground policy across US state legislatures. By comparing ALEC’s template policy to bills introduced and legislation subsequently enacted within state legislatures, we demonstrate that ALEC has positioned itself as a ‘super interest group’, exerting sustained organisational influence across an expanding number of states. In doing so, this paper moves theory beyond the typical advocacy coalition framework that implicitly assumes policymaking occurs discretely among specialists on an issue-by-issue basis. It also highlights the democratic implications of the role of super interest groups in shaping policy behind the scenes.
‘Akerman’ on-screen: Chantal Akerman behind and before the camera, and after cinema
Authors: Pollock Griselda
Published: September 2019

To challenge the increasing tendency to read Chantal Akerman’s oeuvre autobiographically, this article analyses two documentaries on the filmmaker. It theorizes the effects of the increasingly frequent appearance of the filmmaker on screen in such documentaries and in her own films by reviewing both tendencies through the classic debates about authorship. Noting and critiquing the way in which the documentary filmmakers attempt to mimic ‘Akerman’ filmmaking, the article argues that their attempts betray the codes that constitute ‘Akerman’ cinema by reproducing the modes against which her cinema worked. ‘Akerman’ names a cinematic journey towards the formulation of an aesthetic language of space, shot, frame and temporality through which to make visible the unseen and make audible the unspoken that constituted both the conditions and the imperative for a cinematic intervention from a historically situated post-war, post-Shoah ‘Polish Jewish family in Brussels’. This article proposes the term filmworking (drawing on Bracha Ettinger’s post-traumatic concept of artworking) to reveal how Akerman queered cinema. This effect emerges only from close analysis of each instance of filmworking and not from the closed tropes of a retrospective narrative of the life of the filmmaker, who, being repeatedly interviewed, herself contributed to such extra-cinematic explanations and closures of her own work.
News From Home the redux version: Amodal perception and ‘la jouissance du voir’
Authors: Walsh Maria
Published: September 2019

In my 2004 article on Chantal Akerman’s News From Home (1976), I deployed a Deleuzian reading of the film to release the film from being interpreted as manifesting the impossibility of a woman’s desire (Stephen Heath) or a desire to return to the mother (Richard Kwietniowski), arguing instead that the indeterminacy of the final sequence opens out onto a transformative freedom from identity. In this article, I persist with this idea but reconsider it in relation to Griselda Pollock’s convincing insistence that Akerman’s work is a journey towards maternal trauma, a position that she develops in relation to Akerman’s installation Walking Next to One’s Shoelaces Inside an Empty Fridge. Before encountering this work, Pollock says that Akerman’s cinematic intervention was linked to ‘the choked feminine voice in culture meeting a new cinematic formalism’ rather than to the ‘deeper trauma’ of being the child of a Holocaust survivor. Pollock’s convincing reading of Akerman’s installation as visualizing the effects of unmourned trauma transmitted to the children of Holocaust survivors had a profound impact on me, one that I take into consideration in my reframing in this article of the final sequence of News From Home. In this, I deploy Raymond Bellour’s adaptation of psychoanalyst Daniel Stern’s notion of ‘amodal perception’ as a sensory, kinetic modality of spectatorship. This model allows me to retain the transformative freedom from identity in my earlier reading, while nonetheless mapping early intersubjective relations onto the pleasures of the film body Akerman called ‘la jouissance du voir’.
‘A pedagogy of the image’: Chantal Akerman’s ethics across film and art
Authors: Rennebohm Kate
Published: September 2019

This article elucidates the complex ethical paradigm at the heart of Chantal Akerman’s work and thought, arguing first that her ethics are as concerned with the figure of the self as they are with the figure of the other and that, second, these ethics exist as much in the spatial and durational structures of her work as in the content of her images. In this way, this article contends that approaching Akerman’s work through the question of ethics allows one to see consistencies across her film and installation work, even as her aesthetic strategies shift across the different dispositifs of the cinema and the gallery or museum. Addressing these shifts, I offer the concept of Akerman’s ‘ethical pedagogy of the image’ – a term that implies both a method and a site of instruction. Drawing on these two meanings, this article ultimately reveals that Akerman’s pedagogical aim involves turning viewers’ ethical attention back on to themselves – to offer a prompt and a space for reconsideration of their own ethos.
Revisiting Jeanne Dielman: Autour de Jeanne Dielman (2004), Woman Sitting After Killing (2001) and Akerman’s ‘cinéma de ressassement’
Authors: Murray Ros
Published: September 2019

This article revisits Jeanne Dielman, 23 quai du commerce, 1080 Bruxelles (1975), seeking to map its nomadic trajectories through different media. I elaborate on Akerman’s notion of a ‘cinéma de ressassement’, a cinema of mulling over or chipping away. Rather than focusing on the film itself, I concentrate on two lesserknown works that explicitly return to Jeanne Dielman, functioning both as works in their own right and as paratexts, revealing the film’s processes in different but corresponding ways: the installation Woman Sitting After Killing, made for the 2001 Venice Biennale, and Autour de Jeanne Dielman, a making-of documentary shot on Portapak by Sami Frey in 1975, edited by Akerman and Agnès Ravez in 2004, and released as a special feature on the Criterion Collection DVD edition of the film. The article contends that these two ‘returns’ to Jeanne Dielman rework the complex temporalities of the film in addition to revisiting its political concerns. Autour de Jeanne Dielman places Jeanne Dielman squarely within a feminist framework through its central positioning of Delphine Seyrig’s feminist discourse. I map the ways in which ressassement exposes the processes of a feminist filmmaking concerned with disrupting ‘chrononormative’ (Elizabeth Freeman) narratives. Building on B. Ruby Rich’s characterization of Akerman’s work as a ‘cinema of correspondence’, ultimately the article asks what counts as productive labour, suggesting that Akerman’s returns to Jeanne Dielman highlight its commitment to feminist and queer failure as a productive working method.
Sensory experience, sound and queerness in Chantal Akerman’s Maniac Shadows (2013)
Authors: Fox Albertine
Published: September 2019

This article offers the first scholarly study of Chantal Akerman’s installation Maniac Shadows (2013). It argues that the deviating sensory strategies at work in this installation form part of a process of ‘queering’ that allows for the expression of queer forms of embodiment and pleasure. These queer tactics include sonic excess and spatial disintegration, skewed framing, haptic auditory perception and an emphasis on indeterminacy and ambiguity, primarily through the figure of the shadow. Drawing on Sara Ahmed’s phenomenological approach to queerness, the article explores the sensuous queer effects arising from instances of audio-visual disorientation in Akerman’s installation. It suggests that the centrality of shadows, combined with the amorphous soundscape and the presence of opaque images and oblique angles, produce jarring moments of strangeness that undermine notions of a stable unified subject and disrupt heteronormative space. Offering an alternative perspective on the autobiographical accounts of the installation that have emerged so far, the article suggests that Akerman’s experimentation with spatial ambiguity is tied to a queerly inflected unravelling that pervades Maniac Shadows, as the artist fashions a less constricting and more subversive relational space for herself and her audience to grow into.
‘A matter of skin’: Chantal Akerman’s ‘porous narratives’
Authors: Jacquin Maud
Published: September 2019

In 2004, Chantal Akerman created two works – a feature film Tomorrow We Move (Akerman, 2004) and a video installation To Walk Next to One’s Shoelaces in an Empty Fridge (Akerman, 2004) – which feature the diary that her Jewish maternal grandmother had kept before dying at Auschwitz. Prompted by the contradictions manifest in the installation (spontaneity vs control; uniqueness vs familiarity), I will argue for an intricate interrelation between the documentary video and the fiction film. In relation to the thematic content of both works, I will subsequently demonstrate that the ‘porous’ form of narrative that this assemblage generates allows Akerman to challenge and transform dominant conceptions of storytelling, identity, history and memory. In particular, through analysing the modes of writing she portrays in both films in relation to Virginia Woolf ’s work, I will contend that Akerman is deeply aware of the political implications of thinking porously.
Disappearance in the films of Chantal Akerman
Authors: Bergstrom Janet
Published: September 2019

‘Disappearance’ in Chantal Akerman’s films means, in this essay, disappearance from a specific person. The attributes of the one who disappears are charged with special meaning for the one left behind, the one affected by the disappearance. It is not that someone used to be present and now they are not, but that one person is no longer there for another person. A dyad is involved, but its presence is felt from the perspective of half of that dyad. Whence the aptness of Barthes’s prologue to The Lover’s Discourse, that today that discourse is one of extreme loneliness.

Diagnostic value of magnetic resonance imaging in the analysis of ameloblastoma: report of two cases
Authors: Galvão Neiandro Santos , Pinto Antonione Santos Bezerra , Farias Alan Leandro Carvalho , Costa André Luiz Ferreira , Lopes Sérgio Lúcio Pereira de Castro , Oliveira Matheus Lima
Published: September 2019

Ameloblastoma is an odontogenic tumor that shares clinical and imaging characteristics with other lesions of the jaws, such as odontogenic keratocyst, which makes the diagnosis difficult. However, in addition to radiographic and tomographic examinations, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has been increasingly used, contributing with relevant additional information about the differentiation between solid and liquid components of the lesion. This case report was conducted to present two variations of ameloblastoma and discuss the radiographic, tomographic and MRI contribution in the differential diagnosis between ameloblastoma and odontogenic keratocyst.The signal intensity in T1-weighted MRI revealed internal fluid content in both cases, which was important in the differential diagnosis with other intraosseous lesions such as odontogenic keratocysts. This is probably due to the presence of keratin that increases the viscosity of the content and also for an intermediate signal intensity signal in T2-weighted MRI. Therefore, MRI revealed important internal characteristics of the reported lesions, which was very useful in the establishment of the differential diagnosis with other lesions.
Colonic Manifestations and Complications Are Relatively Under-Reported in Systemic Sclerosis: A Systematic Review
Authors: Brandler Justin B. , Sweetser Seth , Khoshbin Katayoun , Babameto Mary , Prokop Larry J. , Camilleri Michael
Published: September 2019

OBJECTIVES:

Although systemic sclerosis (SSc) is known to affect the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, most of the literature focuses on esophageal, small intestinal, or anorectal manifestations. There have been no reviews focused on large bowel SSc complications in over 30 years. The aim of this study is to perform a systematic review of colonic manifestations and complications of SSc.

METHODS:

An experienced librarian conducted a search of databases, including English and Spanish articles. The search used keywords including “systemic sclerosis,” “scleroderma,” and “colon.” A systematic review was performed using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Case reports/series were screened for validity by adapting from criteria published elsewhere.

RESULTS:

Of 1,890 articles, 74 met selection criteria. Fifty-nine of the 77 articles were case reports/series. The most common article topics on colonic SSc complications were constipation/dysmotility (15), colonic volvulus (8), inflammatory bowel disease (7), microscopic colitis (6), megacolon (6), and telangiectasia (6). Colonic manifestations constituted 24% of articles on GI complications of SSc. There were a total of 85 cases (84% women, with a median age of onset of colon complication of 52 years). Limited cutaneous SSc phenotype (65.6%) was more common than diffuse (26.2%). Patients frequently had poor outcomes with high mortality related to colonic complications (27%). Recent studies explore contemporary topics such as the microbiome in SSc and prucalopride for chronic constipation in SSc.

DISCUSSION:

Colonic complications comprise a large proportion of the published reports on GI symptoms afflicting patients with SSc and require raised diagnostic suspicion and deliberate action to avoid potentially serious complications including death.

O objetivo desse trabalho é analisar a importância da percepção da qualidade do serviço prestado pelo restaurante Albinos no município de Itaperuna RJ. Para fundamentar esse trabalho, elaborou-se uma pesquisa de satisfação do cliente, levando em consideração o atendimento prestado, a qualidade do serviço, rapidez do processo de entrega, confiabilidade, conforto, segurança e preço. O levantamento de dados ocorreu por meio da elaboração de um questionário baseado em estudos científicos e nas dimensões do modelo de desempenho de serviço SERVPERF, utilizando a escala Likert de 5 pontos. O estudo teve como objetivo comprovar que embora a satisfação do cliente dependa de um conjunto de fatores, o atendimento direto ao cliente pode se tornar um dos maiores diferenciais na hora de prestar um serviço ou atendimento ao cliente, tendo como base os princípios éticos e morais, seguido de cortesia e empatia. Com base nos dados foi possível avaliar e quantificar a qualidade dos serviços sob a visão dos clientes e sugerir propostas de melhorias para que a empresa atinja vantagem competitiva.
Política, ideología y educación en el PSOE durante la Transición (1976-1982): Escolarización y secularización
Authors: González-Moreno Javier
Published: September 2019

En primer lugar, exponemos la política educativa del tardofranquismo y las propuestas alternativas de la izquierda española, identificando aquellos aspectos fruto del diálogo entre ideas. Prestamos especial atención a la idea de la participación y al concepto Escuela Pública desde el punto de vista de la secularización. En segundo lugar, analizamos cómo aquellas ideas pasaron al PSOE y cómo se desarrollaron sus debates internos sobre escolarización y secularización a través de diversos hitos hasta la Constitución de 1978. Analizamos las concepciones de lo posible y lo deseable para las figuras socialistas más destacadas, como Felipe González, José María Maravall y Luis Gómez Llorente. Finalmente, estudiamos cómo la Constitución de 1978 –y la posterior sentencia del Tribunal Constitucional, que cincelaría el Bloque Constitucional– resolvió el debate interno del PSOE declarando como imposibles las propuestas participacionistas de Gómez Llorente y dejando vía libre definitivamente a las tesis escolarizadoras de Maravall y Felipe González.
“It just doesn’t add up”: Disrupting official arguments for urban school closures with counterframes
Authors: Syeed Esa
Published: September 2019

Mass school closures have become commonplace in urban school districts. To explain their actions, school system leaders often rely on a dominant frame that presents closures as an inevitable, data-driven, and politically neutral phenomenon in an educational landscape defined by shrinking budgets, demographic changes, and increased school choice. In response, research has typically focused on how communities tell counternarratives that seek to interrupt official accounts of school closures. Using a critical frame analysis of qualitative data from the 2013 school closure process in Washington, DC, I discuss another grassroots approach to disrupting school closures: counterframes. Drawing on Critical Race Theory and social movement theory, I discuss counterframes as discursive arguments that allow communities to directly challenge official rhetoric and offer alternatives. Findings show that communities in DC crafted counterframes that pushed back on the notion that the closures were inevitable, questioned the data guiding the process, and attempted to expose hidden agendas and interests behind shuttering schools. The article concludes with the relevance of counterframes to broader educational mobilizations as well as their limitations.
Articulações de demandas educativas (im)possibilitadas pelo antagonismo ao “marxismo cultural”
Authors: Lopes Alice Casimiro
Published: September 2019

Neste artigo, apresento, com base na teoria do discurso de Laclau e Mouffe, uma discussão sobre as identificações nas políticas educacionais, questionando o essencialismo das análises políticas que incidem sobre grupos sociais com identidades pré-constituídas. Para tanto, interpreto as demandas educacionais conservadoras e ultraliberais que se movem no jogo de articulações, desarticulação e rearticulações discursivas no campo educacional pós-eleições presidenciais de 2018, (im)possibilitado pelo antagonismo ao “marxismo cultural”, tornado equivalente às Ciências, principalmente as Humanas e Sociais, e à Universidade pública. Apresento essa interpretação, visando outras formas de pensar (e fazer) a política educacional ou mesmo qualquer política, de forma a questionar os fundamentalismos de identidades fixas.

Raziskava je potekala med majem in junijem 2017. Podatki so bili analizirani s pomočjo Giorgijevega pristopa, značilnega za fenomenološko raziskavo.Rezultati: Strukturo opisa sestavljajo štiri tematske skupine, ki opredeljujejo doživljanje mater ob rojstvu nedonošenega otroka: (1) potek poroda: želje in pričakovanja; (2) reprezentacijo materinstva: čustvovanje, navezanost, empatijo, spomine; (3) čustvovanje in skrb za nedonošenega otroka v poporodnem obdobju ter (4) (ne)profesionalnost zdravstvenih delavcev.Diskusija in zaključek: Izsledki raziskave kažejo, da je večina mater iskala vzroke prezgodnjega poroda. Veliko jim je pomenila podpora svojcev, zdravstvenih delavcev ter »sotrpink« z oddelka. Večina mater se je med porodom in hospitalizacijo soočala z negativnimi občutki; empatičen odnos zaposlenih jih je spodbujal in navdajal z upanjem ter zaupanjem.
The impact of delivery mode on the risk of neonatal intracranial haemorrhage
Authors: Buh Nika , Lučovnik Miha
Published: September 2019

Introduction: The objective of the study was to examine the association between the mode of delivery and the incidence of neonatal intracranial haemorrhage.Methods: Slovenian National Perinatal Information System (NPIS) data for the period 2002 through 2016 were analysed. Nulliparous women delivering singleton neonates in cephalic presentation weighting 2,500 to 4,000g were included. Incidence of neonatal intracranial haemorrhage in vacuum delivery vs. other modes of delivery was compared using the Chi-square test (p < 0.05 significant).Results: 125,393 deliveries were included: 5,438 (4 %) planned caesarean deliveries, 9,7764 (78 %) spontaneous vaginal deliveries, 15,577 (12 %) emergency caesarean deliveries, and 6,614 (5 %) vacuum extractions. 17 (0.14/1000) neonatal intracranial haemorrhages were recorded: 12 occurred in spontaneous vaginal deliveries, two in emergency caesarean deliveries, and three in vacuum extractions. In comparison to infants born by spontaneous vaginal delivery, those delivered by vacuum extraction had higher rates of intracranial haemorrhage (odds ratio (OR) 3.70; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.04−13.10). Risk estimates did not reach statistical significance when comparing infants born by vacuum extraction and those born by emergency caesarean delivery (OR 3.54; 95% CI 0.59−21.16).Discussion and conclusion: Infants born by vacuum extraction have significantly higher rates of intracranial haemorrhage than those born by spontaneous vaginal delivery although the absolute risk is small. There are no significant differences in the rates of intracranial haemorrhage in vacuum extraction vs. emergency caesarean delivery.
Subjective databases

Online users are constantly seeking experiences, such as a hotel with clean rooms and a lively bar, or a restaurant for a romantic rendezvous. However, e-commerce search engines only support queries involving objective attributes such as location, price, and cuisine, and any experiential data is relegated to text reviews.

In order to support experiential queries, a database system needs to model
subjective
data. Users should be able to pose queries that specify subjective experiences using their own words, in addition to conditions on the usual objective attributes. This paper introduces OpineDB, a subjective database system that addresses these challenges. We introduce a data model for subjective databases. We describe how OpineDB translates subjective queries against the subjective database schema, which is done by matching the user query phrases to the underlying schema. We also show how the experiential conditions specified by the user can be combined and the results aggregated and ranked. We demonstrate that subjective databases satisfy user needs more effectively and accurately than alternative techniques through experiments with real data of hotel and restaurant reviews.
doppioDB 2.0

Database engines are starting to incorporate machine learning (ML) functionality as part of their repertoire. Machine learning algorithms, however, have very different characteristics than those of relational operators. In this demonstration, we explore the challenges that arise when integrating generalized linear models into a database engine and how to incorporate hardware accelerators into the execution, a tool now widely used for ML workloads.

The demo explores two complementary alternatives: (1) how to train models directly on compressed/encrypted column-stores using a specialized coordinate descent engine, and (2) how to use a bitwise weaving index for stochastic gradient descent on low precision input data. We present these techniques as implemented in our prototype database doppioDB 2.0 and show how the new functionality can be used from SQL.

Data cleaning is a prerequisite to subsequent data analysis, and is know to often be time-consuming and labor-intensive. We present IHCS, a hybrid data cleaning system that integrates error detection and repair to contend effectively with multiple error types. In a preprocessing step that precedes the data cleaning, IHCS formats an input dataset to be cleaned, and transforms applicable data quality rules into a unified format. Then, an MLN index structure is formed according to the unified rules, enabling IHCS to handle multiple error types simultaneously. During the cleaning, IHCS first tackles abnormalities through an abnormal group process, and then, it generates multiple data versions based on the MLN index. Finally, IHCS eliminates conflicting values across the multiple versions, and derives the final unified clean data. A visual interface enables cleaning process monitoring and cleaning result analysis.

Published: September 2019

In this demo paper, we introduce Trinity, a general-purpose framework that can be used to quickly build domain-specific program synthesizers for automating many tedious tasks that arise in data science. We illustrate how Trinity can be used by three different users: First, we show how end-users can use Trinity's built-in synthesizers to automate data wrangling tasks. Second, we show how advanced users can easily extend existing synthesizers to support additional functionalities. Third, we show how synthesis experts can change the underlying search engine in Trinity. Overall, this paper is intended to demonstrate how users can quickly use, modify, and extend the Trinity framework with the goal of automating many tasks that are considered to be the "janitor" work of data science.
In-memory for the masses
Authors: Boehm Alexander
Published: September 2019

With unrivaled performance, modern in-memory data management platforms such as SAP HANA [5] enable the creation of novel types of business applications. By keeping all data in memory, applications may combine both demanding transactional as well as complex analytical workloads in the context of a single system. While this excellent performance, data freshness, and flexibility gain is highly desirable in a vast range of modern business applications [6], the corresponding large appetite for main memory has significant implications on server sizing. Particularly, hardware costs on premise as well as in the cloud are at risk to increase significantly, driven by the high amount of DRAM that needs to be provisioned potentially.

In this talk, we discuss a variety of challenges and opportunities that arise when running business applications in a cost-efficient manner on in-memory database systems.
How Do Intermediaries Affect the Effectiveness of the Four-Eyes-Principle? An Experimental Investigation
Authors: Fan Liangcong , Ying Zechun , Yuan Yuemei , Zhang Xinchao , Xu Bin
Published: September 2019

Corrupt deals are commonly arranged by intermediaries. However, attempts to deter corruption pay little attention to the role of intermediaries in corrupt deals. This paper reports a laboratory bribery experiment on corruption designed to investigate how intermediaries with information about the lowest bribe that the official is willing to accept in a briber-initiated corrupt deal affect the effectiveness of the four-eyes-principle (FEP) on deterring corruption. We find that the introduction of the FEP significantly decreases the corruption level by increasing uncertainty. However, the presence of intermediaries with information completely offsets the positive effect of introducing the FEP on preventing corruption. Our findings suggest that further research on corruption should allow a more active role of intermediaries, and legislators should take the role of intermediaries into account when designing anti-corruption mechanisms.

Currently, the number of distributed generation (DG) objects in the world is growing mainly due to renewable energy sources (RES). However, the integration of a large volume of DG based on RES into existing electric power systems (EPS) is associated with a number of significant problems. For a comprehensive study and solution of these problems, it is necessary to carry out detailed simulation of real EPS, which is not always feasible with the help of existing tools. Therefore, the article proposes the use of an alternative solution – the Hybrid Real-Time Power System Simulator (HRTSim). To confirm the properties and capabilities of the HRTSim, the simulation results of a test scheme obtained using the HRTSim and the widely used digital hardware-software complex RTDS were compared. The results of a comprehensive comparison in both complexes confirmed the adequacy of information about the processes in equipment and EPS as a whole, obtained by the HRTSim. Thus, it is proved that further use the HRTSim as a tool for detailed and adequate simulation of real EPS with DG will provide complete and reliable information about normal and abnormal quasi-steady-state and transient processes, which is necessary for reliable and efficient design, research and subsequent operation of EPS with DG.

Published: September 2019

We propose a new bi-level feature selection method for high dimensional accelerated failure time models by formulating the models to a single index model. The method yields sparse solutions at both the group and individual feature levels along with an expedient algorithm, which is computationally efficient and easily implemented. We analyze a genomic dataset for an illustration, and present a simulation study to show the finite sample performance of the proposed method.

Published: September 2019

This article presents a comparative analysis of the educational systems of EU countries, exploring them from a socioeconomic perspective with a special focus on new EU member states. The research question was whether post-socialist countries, in terms of social and academic segregation, are moving toward a separate educational “regime,” or whether they are currently approaching either the Scandinavian, Continental, Anglo-Saxon, or Mediterranean model. Segregation was analyzed according to performance scores in science and economics, social and cultural status, and hierarchical regression was employed in analyzing PISA 2015 data. Results indicate that post-socialist EU member states, in terms of academic and social segregation, do not form a separate “educational regime.”

Published: September 2019

ABSTRACT We investigated whether the movement and distribution of the migratory fish, Salminus brasiliensis, were affected by a small reservoir. We also examined how movement and distribution were related to water temperature, flow, and rainfall. In December 2011 and January 2012, 24 individuals were captured downstream from the dam, tagged with radio transmitters and released in the reservoir (5.46 km² total area). After being released in the reservoir, 18 of the 24 tagged fish travelled upstream, taking an average of 16.6 days to leave the reservoir, with daily movements varying from < 5 km/day to > 24 km/day. However, only seven tagged specimens (29.16%) returned to the lower reservoir section, while the rest remained in the intermediate and upper reservoir sections. Longitudinal distributions and movements were positively related to both upstream flow into the reservoir and water temperature. We found evidence that S. brasiliensis can recognize the longitudinal gradient and is able to continue its upstream migration. On the other hand, the reservoir negatively affected downstream movements, possibly because disorientation prevented movement to the lower reservoir section. Based on these results, we suggest that the impact of small reservoirs on migratory fish species should be objectively addressed in environmental impact assessments and management programs.
