Modelos Lineares Generalizados Hierárquicos Mistos (HGLMM) ajustados via Maxima Verossimilhança Hierárquica (HIML) e HG-BLUP: otimização da análise estatística de variáveis contínuas e categóricas
Authors:   , Silveira Lucas Souza da
Published: January 2023

Este trabalho teve como objetivo principal estudar e comparar os diferentes ajustes de Modelos Lineares Generalizados Hierárquicos Mistos (HGLMM), em função das diferentes classes de variáveis aleatórias (contínuas e categóricas) e de estrutura de modelos. Estudar a flexibilização proporcionada pelos HGLMM frente aos comumente utilizados Modelos Lineares Mistos (LMM) e Modelos Lineares Generalizados Mistos (GLMM). Por vez, o HGLMM é uma classe de modelos mais ampla (a qual abarca todas as demais, via convergência, e, portanto, é a melhor modelagem que pode ser feita para qualquer classe de variáveis aleatórias) que engloba a inferência bayesiana e a inferência fisheriana (verossimilhancista) por meio da utilização da Verossimilhança Hierárquica. Nessa classe é possível ter como casos particulares de ajustes tanto o Modelo Linear Misto como o Modelo Linear Misto Generalizado. A maior vantagem do HGLMM é a possibilidade de atribuir outras distribuições (além daquela atribuída aos efeitos dos erros) da família exponencial aos fatores de componentes aleatórios do modelo e, assim, flexibilizar o ajuste em diferentes variáveis, modelos e bancos de dados. Para esse estudo foram utilizados três bancos de dados reais que possuíam características de diferentes naturezas como a contínua e categórica. Os ajustes foram comparados pelos valores do Conditional Akaike Information Criterion – cAIC (seleção de modelos) e da herdabilidade (via a maximização da acurácia). A herdabilidade foi utilizada para comparar as capacidades das estimativas dos componentes de variância capturarem adequadamente a variação genética e, portanto, propiciarem elevadas acurácias seletivas. Pode-se observar que o HGLMM alternativo teve o melhor ajuste em vários cenários. Para características contínuas foi competitivo com o Modelo Linear Misto na estimativa de componentes de variância e em ajuste de acordo com os valores cAIC. Para características categóricas se sobressaiu ao GLMM em diversos cenários. Conclui-se que os HGLMM podem ser usados corriqueiramente na análise estatística, em geral, propiciando uma triagem eficiente de quais modelos usar na modelagem de cada uma das várias classes de variáveis aleatórias, quais sejam contínuas ou categóricas. Palavras-chave: Modelos Lineares Generalizados. Modelos Hierárquicos. Seleção de Modelos. Inferência Estatística. Verossimilhança Hierárquica. Quadrados mínimos iterativos ponderados.

In speaking to you today about the Centre for Rural Communities I also wish to share with you some understanding that has developed for me along with the establishment of the Centre for Rural Communities. Personally I have had to ask myself seriously why this is important to me, and slowly answers have formed past the stage of a gut reaction of because I like living in the country, for I also enjoy the anonymity of the city, past the answer of the need for choice of lifestyle. I have found answers in a range of places, from rural people I have worked with, students and colleagues, across a range of disciplines, friends and communities. From Australian writers also struggling to use English words to describe this country and their relationship with it - a sense of acceptance, a celebration of place a partnership. So today I wish to share with you briefly, the process of identifying that things were not as they should be for rural communities, the questions this raised and the action which has followed.
Evidence of mobile health integration into primary health care systems for better maternal mental health in LMIC during COVID-19 pandemic - Review
Authors: Jabeen Rawshan , Mubarak Jabeen Salman  , Ibtisaam Qazi
Published: January 2023

Mental illnesses are prevalent worldwide, especially in the underdeveloped countries of the South Asian region, particularly in women, where they largely remain unaddressed. Evidence from the South Asian region indicates that there is a high burden of mental disorders in vulnerable populations such as pregnant women. Mental health problems during pregnancy and in the postpartum period are twice as common in LMICs as compared to HICs. Interventions delivered by community health workers (CHWs) in many health delivery and promotive initiatives have played a vital role in improving mental health. CHW-based interventions are cost-effective, efficient and acceptable for the local people and can strengthen the overall health system. This review aimed to explore integration of maternal mental health into existing maternal, newborn and child health (MNCH) programs so that delivery of mental health interventions can be done alongside MNCH interventions.

Published: January 2023

Objective: To determine the epidemiological profile of dermatophytes among patients of tinea capitis and their susceptibility pattern to fluconazole and terbinafine.
Method: The cross-sectional study was conducted at the Department of Microbiology, Basic Medical Sciences Institute, Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre, Karachi, from August to December 2019, and comprised samples of hair and skin from the scalp of tinea capitis patients regardless of age and gender. Demographic details were collected and the samples were processed for direct microscopy and mycological culture. Antifungal susceptibility testing for fluconazole and terbinafine was performed using broth microdilution method. Data was analysed using SPSS 21.
Results: Of the 207 patients, 115(55.5%) were males, and 114(55.1%) were children. Alopecia was the most common presenting complaint 141(68.1%), while grey patch tinea was the most characteristic clinical form 53(25.6%). Dermatophytes were yielded in 61(29.5%) cases, non-dermatophytes were isolated in 45(21.7%) specimens, and 101(48.8%) were culture-negative. Among the dermatophytes, trichophyton violaceum was the most common pathogen 21(34.4%), followed by trichophyton mentagrophytes 18(29.5%). Resistance to fluconazole and terbinafine among dermatophytes was recorded in 12(19.7%) and 7(11.5%) isolates, respectively.
Conclusion: The frequency of dermatophytes among tinea capitis patients was higher compared to non-dermatophyte species. Antifungal resistance was predominantly seen in trichophyton violaceum and trichophyton mentagrophytes.

Optimal Estimation of Brownian Penalized Regression Coefficients
Authors: Pramanik Paramahansa , Polansky Alan M.
Published: January 2023

In this paper we introduce a new methodology to determine an optimal coefficient of penalized functional regression. We assume the dependent, independent variables and the regression coefficients are functions of time and error dynamics follow a stochastic differential equation. First we construct our objective function as a time dependent residual sum of square and then minimize it with respect to regression coefficients subject to different error dynamics such as LASSO, group LASSO, fused LASSO and cubic smoothing spline. Then we use Feynman-type path integral approach to determine a Schr¨odinger-type equation which have the entire information of the system. Using first order conditions with respect to these coefficients give us a closed form solution of them.
Numerical Simulation of Gas-Solid Flow in CFB Riser Using Different Approaches of Kinetic Theory of Granular Flows
Authors: Silva Renato Cesar da , Gomez Luben Cabezas , Navarro Helio Aparecido
Published: January 2023

In this paper is applied the two-fluid model to simulate the gas-solid flow in a riser of a circulating fluidized bed (CFB). The phases are modeled as a continuum medium computing the solid’s pressure and dynamic viscosity by the kinetic theory of granular flows (KTGF). The numerical simulations are performed with the MFIX (Multiphase Flow with Interface eXchanges) computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code developed in the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL). The main aim of this work is to perform a comparative analysis of the simulation results obtained from three different versions of the KTGF. In the work are presented time-averaged results comprehending the radial profiles of the axial velocities of gas and solid phases, the solid volumetric fraction and the solid mass flow. These results are compared with the available experimental data showing a different behavior for each version of the KTGF. For a more complete comparative analysis also are presented time-averaged and transient snapshots of the gas volumetric fraction in two risers sections disposed at two different heights of the column. In all the simulations is used a uniform two-dimensional computational mesh and the Superbee second order scheme for the discretization of the advective terms. The numerical results show that the procedure for the computation of the solid phase pressure and viscosity influences in a significant way the behavior of the gas-solid flow in a riser. These differences are obtained even when it is considered only the KTGF with slightly variations for the constitutive equations computations.

Virtual skeletons and digital muscles: an experimental bioarchaeological approach to the pre-Hispanic production of millstones (Tenerife, Canary Islands)
Authors: Carballo-Pérez Jared , Marrero-Gordillo Norberto , Lacave-Hernández Alberto , Arnay-de-la-Rosa Matilde
Published: January 2023

Highlights:

The combination of biomechanical analysis and open-access Kinovea software enables the study of musculoskeletal and articular wear of experimentally reproduced tasks.
The repeated use of the right arm during indirect percussion and abrasion in lithic production could increase the changes in bone robusticity of specific muscle attachments observed in the osteoarchaeological record.
Motion ranges and postural angles analysis can generate more accurate representations of "virtual humans" in their archaeological context.

Abstract:
Understanding the physical impact of ancient labours has become an important experimental bioarchaeology area. Complex motion capture systems and digital tools have been used in biomechanical analysis during the reproduction of manual tasks. However, these systems are costly, so the researchers have explored alternative digital solutions. Therefore, the open-access Kinovea software was checked to confirm its reliability in characterizing the physical loads associated with particular works of ancient times. In this case study, the authors have analyzed the central postural angles and muscle chains involved in the indigenous manufacturing process of rotary stone mills, in the high mountains of Tenerife. The study included a virtual motion capture analysis carried out during the different phases of the experimental reproduction of this process; it was defined from the archaeological record of the quarries-workshops of Las Cañadas del Teide National Park (Canary Islands, Spain) volcanic millstones. The results of this study have demonstrated the software's effectiveness to virtually analyze the significant differences in posture between work techniques, observing a predominance of the use of m. biceps brachii, the m. brachioradialis, and the elbow joint during the manufacture of stone mills. On the other hand, Kinovea also has excellent potential in virtual archaeology, giving users tools to generate the average postural angles. As a result, building "virtual skeletons" in more precise work postures has been possible. This may serve as the base element to create complete body representations in virtual environments.
The process of digital fabrication and 3D printing as a tool in the study of heritage pathologies: Carcabuey Castle (Cordoba)
Authors: Millán-Millán Pablo Manuel , Chacón-Carretón Celia , Castela González Cristian
Published: January 2023

Highlights:

High-definition scanning and 3D printing have been used as tools in the detection of heritage pathologies, as well as in the study of materials.
The Carcabuey castle has been digitized and the volumetric data recovered from the study of its materials typology and its stereotomy, obtained with laser scanning.
The study of construction and material phases, and the pathologies produced by them, has been carried out from the 3D printing of the heritage structure parts.

Abstract:
Precise documentation is essential to carry out the restoration and enhancement processes of protected heritage contexts. Data collection has been increasingly perfected, to the point of being able to perform virtual recreations of complex historical sites, in order to carry out in-depth studies and analyses. An example is Carcabuey Castle (Cordoba, Andalusia), a large fortress with important medieval structures. It is a monumental site of the so-called "Frontier Castles", which were located between the Kingdom of Aragon, and the Nasrid Kingdom of Granada. With the aim of restoring it and highlighting its value, an in-depth study was developed for its conservation and subsequent intervention. The data collection included terrestrial laser scanning and vectorising all the structures, as well as a complex and complete photogrammetric survey. From these previous data and carrying out a deductive analytical methodology, a model was generated which, after being printed in 3D (different models at different scales of detail), would allow the volumes, materials and textures which make up the castle, to be studied. The multidisciplinary team, composed of architects, archaeologists, historians and engineers, made it possible to provide multifaceted and inclusive character to all the work, both in the study of pathologies based on the models, and in the construction phases, detected by the stereotomy of the ashlars, or chemical composition of mortars. Since then, with all the data obtained in the research, summarised in this article, it has been possible to carry out a correct diagnosis for the restoration and enhancement of the heritage site.
Abandoned rural pre-industrial heritage: study of the Riamonte mil complex (Galicia, Spain)
Authors: Pouso-Iglesias Pablo Xosé , Arcones-Pascual Gustavo , Bellido-Blanco Santiago , Villanueva Valentín-Gamazo David
Published: January 2023

Highlights:

Graphic tools and virtual reconstruction applied to watermills contribute to their overall understanding as an anthropogenic landscape.
Virtual reconstruction of the milling mechanisms allows us to understand the mill operation beyond the mere construction preservation.
The Riamonte mills are an example of a group of canal mills linked to a single dam and with a social typology of inheriting turns to grind.

Abstract:
Each concello (municipality) in Galicia is home to a large number of pre-industrial rural heritage assets integrated into the landscape. Among them are the water mills, usually made up of small constructions that are difficult to reuse in their original function. They are not easily compatible with other uses either. Their current state of abandonment requires their cataloguing and correct valorization as pre-industrial archaeological heritage. These constructions must be conceived as interrelated constructive groupings, in their original physical and social context. A good example of this is the unpublished sample of the Riamonte milling complex. Its study, digitalization and virtual recreation by means of computer-assisted graphics have great potential for dissemination to the public and better integration into the nature trail near the riverbed. Graphically presenting archaeological heritage through virtual media helps to promote social understanding in order to raise awareness of the importance of its protection and irreplaceable nature, especially in case of those vestiges lacking sufficient security to survive. Due to the large amount of vegetation around the wall remains, a rigorous planimetric survey of the entire complex was carried out, followed by three-dimensional (3D) modelling of representative elements. In addition, applying a rigorous principle of transparency, a chromatic differentiation is made in the 2D and 3D virtual reconstructions between already existing and newly added elements. Regarding the 3D model, a historical-archaeological evidence scale is used, allowing a graphic identification of the authenticity degree required to provide reliability in the reconstruction of lost or altered parts. This facilitates virtual recreation interpretation among future researchers from different disciplines. The Riamonte mill complex is part of a typology typical of the region, in which the use of virtual models makes it possible to reach the scales of the territory, the building and the machinery, facilitating the correct understanding of this cultural heritage.

Authors: Popławski Błażej
Published: January 2023

Celem artykułu jest prezentacja psychospołecznych i kulturowych reakcji Afrykanów na epidemię eboli w latach 2014–2016 i pandemię koronawirusa ogłoszoną w 2020 roku i trwającą do dzisiaj, a także ukazanie kolizji – zarówno na poziomie praktyk, jak i sensów i wyobrażeń – religijności z naukowo umotywowanym zwalczaniem zagrożenia epidemicznego. W pierwszej części opracowania zrekonstruowano „socjologię wiedzy” o wirusach w społeczeństwach afrykańskich. Ukazano znaczenie teorii spiskowych tłumaczących źródła chorób; indolencję rządów w uświadamianiu obywateli co do skali zagrożeń; rolę systemów eksperckich w kształtowaniu percepcji chorób zakaźnych. Następnie omówiono postrzeganie przez Afrykanów medycyny zachodniej, w tym szczepień. W drugiej części tekstu przedstawiono ewolucję obyczajowości afrykańskiej w czasie plag, między innymi zwyczajów funeralnych i praktyk religijnych. Przybliżono wybrane mechanizmy oswojenia plag: konstruowania figury kozła ofiarnego, a także współczesne formy tańca śmierci. Kontekstem analizy są wybrane zjawiska polityczne i ekonomiczne, kwestie wiary, ścierania się tradycji i nowoczesności oraz – jak to określił niemiecki fenomenolog Dietrich von Hildebrand – metafizyki wspólnoty.
After Me/Ontopolitics: Post-Socialist Necroecologies in a Non-Philosophical Key
Authors: Filipović Andrija
Published: January 2023

The complex relationality between inheritance of the socialist past, the socioeconomic transitional present characterised by extractivist capitalism, and a future marked by species extinction, produces post-socialist necroecologies. On one hand, relationally devastating resource extraction produces necroecological non-becoming through its meontopolitics; on the other hand, there are mass movements calling for the cessation of that extraction and for an ontopolitics of becoming other than those causing environmental destruction.

This article concerns the non-philosophical reduction of the metaphysical presuppositions of these environmental material-semiotic practices in contemporary Serbia, showing that they are grounded in ontological pairs of non-becoming and becoming. To think about the post-socialist necroecological material-semiotic condition in a non-philosophical key means thinking about it neither relationally nor non-relationally, neither through non-becoming or becoming, but unilaterally, through heno-humaneity and beyond Western metaphysics.

Carnival is a space of play where you are at once earthly and divine. We are born to this culture, writing our narratives in song, dress, tradition and spirit. As Trinidadians, we embed our lives, our creativity, and our souls into this sacrament. And every year it blesses our people with inspiration, solace and liberation. The theoretical premise of this paper combines social constructivism and Mikhail Bakhtin’s dialogism, heteroglossia, and chronotope to investigate aesthetic architecture within the Trinidadian carnivalesque (mas). A series of narrative interviews were conducted with Carnival band leader Valmiki Maharaj and visual artist Jackie Hinkson, gathering core meanings, intentions, and processes of creation attached to the Trinidadian brand of Carnival. This work highlights the aesthetic manifestations of reflection, creation, and connection as represented in murals, costuming, and carnival accoutrements, whilst acknowledging the cultural and historical frameworks that support these structures.
Coming out jako rytuał przejścia - nowa metafizyka kształtowania tożsamości
Authors: Anczaruk Joanna
Published: January 2023

Celem artykułu jest analiza narracji pamiętnikarskich zawartych w tomie Cała siła, jaką czerpię na życie. Świadectwa, relacje, pamiętniki osób LGBTQ+ z wykorzystaniem metodologii religioznawczej Mircei Eliadego. Poprzez wydobycie z tekstów powtarzających się motywów i zestawienie ich z elementami scenariusza inicjacyjnego ukazane zostało, że akt coming outu może być traktowany jako współczesna wersja rytuału przejścia. Postępowanie analityczne osadzone jest w refleksji dotyczącej możliwości uprawiania refleksji metafizycznej we współczesności. Przez odwołanie do koncepcji Emmanuela Levinasa, Paula Ricoeura oraz Hansa-Georga Gadamera zaprezentowano sposób na filozoficzne ujęcie nowoczesnej duchowości jako kondycji pozwalającej na poszukiwanie Innego oraz wymiaru sacrum poprzez akt rozmowy hermeneutycznej odbywającej się w czasie lektury tekstu. W takim postępowaniu proces kształtowania się tożsamości rozumiany jest jako szansa otwarcia się na inność, duchowość i metafizykę.

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to explore the spiritual trajectories of promoting harassment-free workspaces. The paper develops a bilateral model of individual and organizational spirituality about both the intentionality and outcomes of spiritual modes of thinking, decision-making, and performance. Design/Methodology/Approach: The paper follows the case analysis method. It draws upon the experiences of an NGO working as an external change agent for instituting the spirit of the PoSH Act, 2013 in organizations. The authors have shortlisted 10 case studies from more than 100 sexual harassment cases handled by the NGO for addressing the larger issues of spirituality in organizations. The paper is interspersed with anecdotal and ethnographical references to continually juxtapose the letter and spirit of the legislation preventing harassment in India. Findings: As evangelists of harassment-free workspaces, the authors find that realization of this goal will not be possible with only passive, mechanistic compliance with the letter of law or the rules of the organization laid down in this regard. Research Limitations: The major limitation of this paper is that it only accounts the secondary information, the empirical investigation is missing. Managerial Implications: The aim of harassment-free workspaces as a building block of a harassment-free world is a collective journey of individuals, Internal Complaint Committees, organizations, and society as a whole. That organization where the spirit is given more importance than just the letter, and the closer an organization is to the principle of equality, as expected of us by the universe, the closer it is on its spiritual path to creating harassment- free workspaces. Originality/Value: The paper draws on the first-hand experience of the NGO and is an original contribution to the further development of research in this area.
