Generating Creative Language - Theories, Practice and Evaluation
Authors: Hämäläinen Mika
Published: November 2020

This thesis presents approaches to computationally creative natural language generation focusing on theoretical foundations, practical solutions and evaluation. I defend that a theoretical definition is crucial for computational creativity and that the practical solution must closely follow the theoretical definition. Finally, evaluation must be based on the underlying theory and what was actually modelled in the practical solution. A theoretical void in the existing theoretical work on computational creativity is identified. The existing theories do not explicitly take into account the communicative nature of natural language. Therefore, a new theoretical framework is elaborated that identifies how computational creativity can take place in a setting that has a clear communicative goal. This introduces a communicative-creative trade off that sets limits to creativity in such a communicative context. My framework divides creativity in three categories: message creativity, contextual creativity and communicative creativity. Any computationally creative NLG approach not taking communicativity into account is called mere surface generation.I propose a novel master-apprentice approach for creative language generation. The approach consists of a genetic algorithm, the fitness functions of which correspond to different parameters defined as important for the creative task in question from a theoretical perspective. The output of the genetic algorithm together with possible human authored data are used to train the apprentice, which is a sequence-to-sequence neural network model. The role of the apprentice in the system is to approximate creative autonomy.Evaluation is approached from three different perspectives in this work: ad-hoc and abstract, theory-based and abstract, and theory-based and concrete. The first perspective is the most common one in the current literature and its shortcomings are demonstrated and discussed. This starts a gradual shift towards more meaningful evaluation by first using proper theories to define the task being modelled and finally reducing the room for subjective interpretation by suggesting the use of concrete evaluation questions.

Published: November 2020

Background and Aims: ACEF score is simple risk score which uses only three parameters for predicting mortality and postcontrast acute kidney injury (PC-AKI). This study was designed to look into various risk factors and ACEF score for patients undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI).

Methods: This is single-centre, observational, cross-sectional study. The patients were divided into tertiles.Bivariate analysis of various risk factors and ACEF score was done for PC-AKI as well as In-hospital and 30-day mortality.

Results: Total 257 patients were included.The total mortality among PCI patients were low: In-hospital (0.8%) and 30-day (1.9%). The risk factor for increased mortality were higher Killip class and reduced Ejection Fraction (EF). PCAKI occurred in one-fifth. The risk factors for PC-AKI were increasing age, higher Killip class, diabetes, reduced EF, emergency PCI procedure and higher contrast volume. Hydration with NS was protective against PC-AKI. Mean ACEF score was higher among those who died within 30 days (p=0.35) and who developed PC-AKI (p<0.001). ACEF-low had trend toward better outcome with no mortality (p=0.17) and had low risk of PC-AKI (p=0.026). ACEF-moderate had reduced risk of PC-AKI (p=0.029), however was not associated with increased odds of 30-day mortality (p=0.66). ACEF-high showed significantly increased odds of mortality (p=0.04) and PC-AKI (p<0.001). Discriminatory capacity of ACEF score to detect 30-day mortality was good (AUC 0.82, p= 0.016) and goodness of fit=0.70. Discriminatory capacity of ACEF score to detect PC-AKI was fair (AUC 0.7, p<0.001) and goodness of fit=0.62.

Conclusions: ACEF score fairly predicts the short-term mortality and PC-AKI in patients undergoing PCI.

Published: November 2020

Osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and gout are frequently encountered diseases in the orthopedic clinic. CRP is done to evaluate and monitor these disease processes. This study aimed to evaluate total leukocyte count with differential count, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio, platelet, platelet/lymphocyte ratio, mean platelet volume (MPV), platelet distribution width (PDW), and plateletcrit in patients with arthritis. This was a cross-sectional study conducted at KIST Medical College, Teaching Hospital from 15 Ashad 2075 to 14 Ashad 2076. The patient’s demographic data and laboratory findings: total leukocyte count, differential count, hemoglobin, platelet count, plateletcrit, mean platelet volume, platelet distribution width, and plateletcrit. CRP, ESR, RA factor/anti-CCP, and Uric acid tests were also performed. Among 67 patients, osteoarthritis was seen in 53 (79.1%), rheumatoid arthritis among 11(16.4%), and Gout among 3(4.5%). The ROC area under the curve was within acceptable limits for the neutrophil count, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio, mean platelet volume, platelet distribution width. The sensitivity and specificity of the neutrophil count were 75% and 62% respectively (cut-off: 64.5%). Neutrophil/Lymphocyte ratio was increased and correlated with CRP (p-value: <0.001). PDW had a sensitivity of 90% and specificity of 83.0% (cut-off: 16.8 CV). For MPV, the sensitivity was 80% and specificity was 81% (cut-off: 9.1 fL). At 1.92 cut-off value, the sensitivity and specificity of neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio were 80.0% and 62.0% respectively. CBC parameters can provide an important clue to the treating physician, which helps to manage a patient with arthritis effectively. Neutrophil count, Neutrophil/Lymphocyte ratio, MPV, and PDW correlated with other inflammatory biomarkers and can be used to assess the patient with arthritis.

Authors: Godar Srijana Thapa , Kaini KR
Published: November 2020

The measurement of retinal nerve fiber layer thickness can help significantly in the early diagnosis of glaucoma and monitoring of its progression. The objective of this study was to compare the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness by optical coherence tomography in primary open angle glaucoma, glaucoma suspects and normal Nepalese population. This was a hospital based cross-sectional study conducted in the Ophthalmology Out Patient Department of Manipal Teaching Hospital, Pokhara. Total 100 numbers of subjects (40 primary open angle glaucoma, 30 glaucoma suspects and 30 normal people) were evaluated. Complete ophthalmological examinations including tonometry, gonioscopy, optical coherence tomography, perimetry were performed. Statistical analysis was carried out using Epi-info 7. The result showed that the average retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness was 70.22±12.07μm in right eye and 69.42±11.53μm in left eye in primary open angle glaucoma (POAG), 88.87±10.39μm in right eye and 88.73±9.59μm in left eye in glaucoma suspects (GS) and 94.40±9.21μm in right eye and 94.73±6.76μm in left eye in normal group respectively. The mean RNFL thickness was statistically significant in all three comparison groups except in nasal quadrant. The mean RNFL thickness was statistically significant in two comparison groups except in GS-Normal (nasal and temporal quadrant), GS-POAG (left nasal quadrant) and Normal-POAG (left nasal quadrant). The study concluded that the RNFL thickness is lower in POAG as compared to glaucoma suspects and normal group in the Nepalese population.

Published: November 2020

In this present methodical study, on the basis of the density functional theory (DFT), the first-principles calculations have been employed successfully to study the structural and electronic properties of N-acetyl-DL-methionine (C7H13NO3S) which is a derivative of DL-methionine which is also known DL-2-amino-4-methyl-thiobutanoic acid. Optimized molecular structure, vibrational frequencies and also 13C and 1H NMR chemical shift values of the title compound are provided in a detailed manner by using B3LYP and HSEH1PBE functionals by applying 6-311++G(d,p) basis set for calculations using Gaussian 09W program. The comparison of the calculated values with the experimental values provides important information about the title compound. In addition, the electronic properties (UV-Vis calculations) of the title compound, such as HOMO-LUMO energy values and energy gap, absorption wavelengths, oscillator strengths were performed basing on the optimized structure in gas phase. Moreover, the molecular electrostatic potential surface, dipole moment, nonlinear optical properties, linear polarizabilities and first hyperpolarizabilities and chemical parameters have also been studied.
Analysis of an electroosmotic flow in wavy wall microchannels using the lubrication approximation
Authors: Arcos J. , Bautista O. , Méndez F. , Peralta M.
Published: November 2020

We present the analysis of an electroosmotic flow (EOF) of a Newtonian fluid in a wavy-wall microchannel. In order to describe the flow and electrical fields, the lubrication and Debye-Hückel approximations are used. The simplified governing equations of continuity, momentum and Poisson-Boltzmann, together with the boundary conditions are presented in dimensionless form. For solving the mathematical problem, numerical and asymptotic techniques were applied. The asymptotic solution is obtained in the limit of very thin electric double layers (EDLs). We show that the lubrication theory is a powerful technique for solving the hydrodynamic field in electroosmotic flows in microchannels where the amplitude of the waviness changes on the order of the  mean semi-channel height. Approximate analytical expressions for the velocity components and pressure distribution are derived, and a closed formula for the volumetric flow rate is obtained.  The results show that the principal parameters that govern this EOF are the geometrical parameter, ε, which characterizes the waviness of the microchannel and the ratio of the mean semi-channel height to the thickness of the EDL, κ.

Through computer simulations of Monte Carlo (TOPAS-nBio code), the generation of reactive oxygen species will be analyzed when applying external radiation with electrons which energy is 3 and 5 keV to physical system: composite system and intracellular water. This study of the generation of reactive species was focused exclusively on the interaction between secondary radiation from the composite system and intracellular water.This secondary radiation originates from the platinum atom and oxygens (from the composite system) the influence being greater relative to platinum; which mainly consists of electrons called Auger. In this work, only the influence of these ionizing electrons in intracellular water is considered, leading to the generation of reactive oxygen species. Furthermore, the interaction between the nanoparticle surface and cisplatin was not taken into account.
Modern problems of implementing the strategies of the legal policy of the Russian Federation in the context of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic
Authors: Krylov Dmitrii Viacheslavovich
Published: November 2020

The article is devoted to the problems of the legal policy of the Russian Federation during the pandemic of the new coronavirus infection COVID-19. One of the most serious problems associated with the levels of implementation of legal policy was the actual absence of conceptual strategies of legal policy, since during the period under review, legal policy was implemented not at the traditional conceptual level, but at the situational level. At the same time, the consequence of the legal, including law enforcement, policy that has developed in these conditions has been not only the emergence and development of various conflict situations, but also the resolution of legal problems.
Muslims in Pioneering Modern Knowledge: Chronicles of The Freely or Unconsciously Surrendered Legacies To The West
Authors: Maigida Abdulrahman Yusuf
Published: November 2020

The paper dwelt on exemplification of the role of early Muslim world in pioneering modern knowledge with a magnification of the legacies that these torchbearers in Islam bequeathed to the world. The peculiarity of Nigeria as a nation with more than half of its entire population as Muslims was retrospectively reviewed from the pre-colonial to colonial-era; focusing on scholasticism. The study was examined purely from the historical perspective, to appraise how the impressive efforts of the early Muslim pioneers of modern knowledge in Medicine, Chemistry, Physics, Astronomy, Geometry, Mathematics, History, Geography and Biological Sciences were undertaken. The study did not finish without the expression of concern on how the golden legacies of the early Muslim pioneers have been played down by the Muslims of today, where knowledge or groundbreaking discoveries are now credited to the West, making it look like stolen legacies or freely surrendered legacies to those who are currently worried about the development. Based on these genuine concerns, several wells thought out recommendations were penned down, not limited to a suggestion on growing above externally triggered wars and hostilities among Muslim nations, and giving peace and unity chance, to settle down to reflect on how sustainable progress can be achieved in the world of knowledge economy.

Published: November 2020

The principles discussed in this article are similar to the processes that occur every second in nature. They are the basis of the bionic model under consideration in the framework of nano -, bio -, info -, and cognoconvergence (nbic-convergence). This model is similar to the processes of quantum teleportation that occur in natural biogeocenoses and ecosystems. The article also discusses ways to "preserve" entangled states in crystals as optically active nonlinear media. The following is a method of hypothetical physiotherapy for modeling persistent remissions of multiple sclerosis due to the remyelination process. This method creates some forced conditions for the execution of the macroscopic quantum teleportation protocol. The considered hypothetical model can also be used for reconvalescence of a wide range of nosological forms.

European Anthropology as a Fortuitous Accident?
Authors: Brković Čarna
Published: November 2020

Under what conditions does European anthropology emerge today as an intellectual project? European anthropology takes shape only provisionally, as a fractured, heterogeneous and uneven field, for the duration of time-limited research projects and meetings with Europe-wide participation. In the currently dominant socio-economic conditions of academic life, European anthropology as an intellectual project has little chance to develop, except as an accident. And yet, with more institutional stability for researchers and their conversations, European anthropology could be turned into a more inspiring intellectual endeavour that challenges the classic Anglo-Saxon way of understanding anthropology as a conceptual translation between ‘our’ modern and ‘Other’ worlds; it could also help us to reimagine the world anthropologies framework through the postsocialist and postcolonial lens as something other than a ‘family of nations’.
Problems Don’t Care about Disciplinary Boundaries
Authors: Bendix Regina F.
Published: November 2020

Interdisciplinary collaboration is a sensible approach for addressing complex problems. However, academic training and the resulting disciplinary habitus (and competition) often leave such collaborative skills woefully underdeveloped. This contribution outlines how ethnographic sensibilities and skills may contribute to overcoming borders between disciplinary practitioners and enhancing self-awareness within and across scientific and scholarly practice. It thus proposes ethnographic attention as interdisciplinary midwifery.

Published: November 2020

OBJECTIVE

With the continued evolution of bundled payment plans, there has been a greater focus within orthopedic surgery on quality metrics up to 90 days of care. Although the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services does not currently penalize hospitals based on their pediatric readmission rates, it is important to understand the drivers for unplanned readmission to improve the quality of care and reduce costs.

METHODS

The National Readmission Database provides a nationally representative sample of all discharges from US hospitals and allows follow-up across hospitals up to 1 calendar year. Adolescents (age 10–18 years) who underwent idiopathic scoliosis surgery from 2012 to 2015 were included. Patients were separated into those with and those without readmission within 30 days or between 31 and 90 days. Demographics, operative conditions, hospital factors, and surgical outcomes were compared using the chi-square test and t-test. Independent predictors for readmissions were identified using stepwise multivariate logistic regression.

RESULTS

A total of 30,677 patients underwent adolescent idiopathic scoliosis surgery from 2012 to 2015. The rates of 30- and 90-day readmissions were 2.9% and 1.4%, respectively. The mean costs associated with the index admission and 30- and 90-day readmissions were $60,680, $23,567, and $16,916, respectively. Common risk factors for readmissions included length of stay > 5 days, obesity, neurological disorders, and chronic use of antiplatelets or anticoagulants. The index admission complications associated with readmissions were unintended durotomy, syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone, and superior mesenteric artery syndrome. Hospital factors, discharge disposition, and operative conditions appeared to be less important for readmission risk. The top reasons for 30-day and 90-day readmissions were wound infection (34.7%) and implant complications (17.3%), respectively. Readmissions requiring a reoperation were significantly higher for those that occurred between 31 and 90 days after the index readmission.

CONCLUSIONS

Readmission rates were low for both 30- and 90-day readmissions for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis surgery patients. Nevertheless, readmissions are costly and appear to be associated with potentially modifiable risk factors, although some risk factors remain potentially unavoidable.
The use of autologous free vascularized fibula grafts in reconstruction of the mobile spine following tumor resection: surgical technique and outcomes

Published: November 2020

OBJECTIVE

Reconstruction of the mobile spine following total en bloc spondylectomy (TES) of one or multiple vertebral bodies in patients with malignant spinal tumors is a challenging procedure with high failure rates. A common reason for reconstructive failure is nonunion, which becomes more problematic when using local radiation therapy. Radiotherapy is an integral part of the management of primary malignant osseous tumors in the spine. Vascularized grafts may help prevent nonunion in the radiotherapy setting. The authors have utilized free vascularized fibular grafts (FVFGs) for reconstruction of the spine following TES. The purpose of this article is to describe the surgical technique for vascularized reconstruction of defects after TES. Additionally, the outcomes of consecutive cases treated with this technique are reported.

METHODS

Thirty-nine patients were treated at the authors’ tertiary care institution for malignant tumors in the mobile spine using FVFG following TES between 2010 and 2018. Postoperative union, reoperations, complications, neurological outcome, and survival were reported. The median follow-up duration was 50 months (range 14–109 months).

RESULTS

The cohort consisted of 26 males (67%), and the median age was 58 years. Chordoma was the most prevalent tumor (67%), and the lumbar spine was most affected (46%). Complete union was seen in 26 patients (76%), the overall complication rate was 54%, and implant failure was the most common complication, with 13 patients (33%) affected. In 18 patients (46%), one or more reoperations were needed, and the fixation was surgically revised 15 times (42% of reoperations) in 10 patients (26%). A reconstruction below the L1 vertebra had a higher proportion of implant failure (67%; 8 of 12 patients) compared with higher resections (21%; 5 of 24 patients) (p = 0.011). Graft length, number of resected vertebrae, and docking the FVFG on the endplate or cancellous bone was not associated with union or implant failure on univariate analysis.

CONCLUSIONS

The FVFG is an effective reconstruction technique, particularly in the cervicothoracic spine. However, high implant failure rates in the lumbar spine have been seen, which occurred even in cases in which the graft completely healed. Methods to increase the weight-bearing capacity of the graft in the lumbar spine should be considered in these reconstructions. Overall, the rates of failure and revision surgery for FVFG compare with previous reports on reconstruction after TES.
The Microstructure of a Lexicographical Resource of Spoken German
Authors: Möhrs Christine , Torres Cajo Sarah
Published: November 2020

This paper presents the corpus-based lexicographical prototype that was developed within the framework of the project Lexik des gesprochenen Deutsch (=LeGeDe) as a thirdparty funded project. Research results regarding the information offered in dictionaries have shown that there is a necessity for information on spoken lexis and its interactional functions. The resulting LeGeDe-prototype is based on these needs and desiderata and is thus an innovative example for the adequate representation of spoken language in online dictionaries. It is available online since September 2019 (https://www.owid.de/legede/). In the following sections, after first focusing on the presentation of the project’s goals, the data basis, the intended end user, and the applied methods, we will illustrate the microstructure of the prototype and the information provided in a dictionary entry based on the lemma eben. Finally, we will summarize innovative aspects that are important for the implementation of such a resource.

From Specialized Web Corpora of Tourism to a Learner’s Dictionary
Authors: Srdanović Irena
Published: November 2020

This paper presents the two approaches used in creating specialized web corpora of Croatian tourism in Japanese for their usage in building a specialized learners’ dictionary. Both approaches use the WebBootCat technology (Baroni et al. 2006, Kilgarriff et al. 2014) to automatically create specialized web corpora. The first approach creates the corpora from the selected seed words most relevant to the topic. The second approach specifies a number of web pages that cover tourism-oriented information on specified regions, cities, and sites in Croatia available in Japanese, which are then used for web corpora creation inside the Sketch Engine platform. Both approaches provide specialized web corpora small in size, but quite useful for lexical profiling in the specific field of tourism. In the process of dictionary creation, the second approach has proven to be especially useful for the selection of lexical items, while both approaches have proven to be highly useful for the exploration and selection of authentic examples from the corpora. The research exposes some shortcomings in Japanese language processing, such as errors in the lemmatization of some culturally specific terms and indicates the need to refine existing language processing tools in Japanese. The Japanese-Croatian bilingual learner’s dictionary (Srdanović 2018) is currently in the pilot phase and is being used and built by learners and teachers through the open-source dictionary platform Lexonomy (Mechura 2017). In addition to the fact that work on the bilingual dictionary is useful as a means for training students in language analysis and description using modern technologies (e.g. corpora, corpus query systems, dictionary editing platform), the dictionary is also important in educating new personnel capable of working in tourism using the Japanese language, which is strongly needed. In future, the same approach could be used for creating specialized corpora and dictionaries for Japanese and other language pairs.
Neuroradiology Manifestations of Li-Fraumeni Syndrome: Epidemiology, Genetics, Imaging Findings, and Management
Authors: Naganawa S. , Donohue T. , Capizzano A. , Ota Y. , Kim J. , Srinivasan A. , Moritani T.
Published: November 2020

Li-Fraumeni syndrome is a familial cancer predisposition syndrome associated with germline mutation of the tumor suppressor gene 53, which encodes the tumor suppressor p53 protein. Affected patients are predisposed to an increased risk of cancer development, including soft-tissue sarcomas,
breast cancer, brain tumors, and adrenocortical carcinoma, among other malignancies. The tumor suppressor gene TP53 plays an important, complex role in regulating the cell cycle, collaborating with transcription factors and other proteins. The disruption of appropriate cell cycle regulation
by mutated TP53 is considered to be the cause of tumorigenesis in Li-Fraumeni syndrome. Appropriate surveillance, predominantly by using MR imaging, is used for early malignancy screening in an effort to improve the survival rate among individuals who are affected. Patients with Li-Fraumeni
syndrome are also at increased risk for neoplasm development after radiation exposure, and, therefore, avoiding unnecessary radiation in both the diagnostic and therapeutic settings is paramount. Here, we review the epidemiology, genetics, imaging findings, and the current standard surveillance
protocol for Li-Fraumeni syndrome from the National Comprehensive Cancer Network as well as potential treatment options.Learning Objective: Describe the cause of second primary malignancy among patients with Li-Fraumeni syndrome.
Party Lines and Other Mucosal Crimes: Nasal Septal Perforation: A Review of Common and Uncommon Causes
Authors: Taylor C.S. , Nichols T.A. , Joyner D.A.
Published: November 2020

Nasal septal perforation refers to the abnormal communication of the nasal cavities via a defect in the nasal septum. Clinical symptoms, if present, include bleeding, crusting, a sensation of nasal obstruction, and whistling noises during inhalation. The mucoperichondrium of the nasal cavity contains most of the nasal septal vasculature and sandwiches the relatively avascular septal cartilage. An insult to the mucoperichondrium on both sides of the septal cartilage in approximately the same area results in ischemic necrosis of the septal cartilage, which leads to nasal septal perforation. Nasal septal perforation is a common end to an expansive list of etiologies that occur due to ischemic necrosis or direct erosion of the osteocartilaginous nasal septum from a tumor or infection. Imaging alone is typically insufficient to establish the exact underlying etiology. However, there are imaging features that may narrow the differential diagnosis or suggest less common causes, particularly malignancy. Radiologists can also identify lesions that place the nasal septum at risk, such as for a nasal septal hematoma or an abscess. Preoperative imaging allows for the evaluation of the size of the defect, as well as other areas of osseous and cartilaginous destruction in the palate, sinus walls, or orbits, that may need surgical reconstruction.Learning Objective: Describe nasal septal anatomy, pathophysiology of nasal septal perforation, and the differential diagnosis for causes of nasal septal perforation.

WHAT AFFECTS EMPLOYEE MOTIVATION AT IT PROJECTS IN TURKEY? THE IMPACT OF LEADER COMMUNICATION, WAGE SATISFACTION, AND JOB OPPORTUNITIES AT IT PROJECTS EMPLOYEE’S
Authors: CEYLAN Cemil , YAVAŞ Hande
Published: November 2020

This study aimed to investigate the factors influencing employee motivation and performance of information technology projects in Turkey and the perception of employee motivation next to it and investigate the effect of redundancy request. The employee on different IT projects was selected in Turkey for this study. Seven hypotheses were developed and tested by using literature studies and survey data obtained together. For the hypothesis tests, structural equation modeling was performed by using SPSS and AMOS programs. As a result of the application, five hypotheses were accepted, and two hypotheses were rejected. According to the results of the analysis, it is seen that employee-manager relationships and wage satisfaction have a positive effect on employee motivation.

Bu çalışma, Türk politik gençliğinin Suriyeli mülteci krizini, sosyal medyada hangi konumlardan inşa ettiklerini tespit etme amacı taşımaktadır. Etkileşimli konuşmalarda kişiler/örgütler kendilerini ve diğerlerini belirli konumlara yerleştirmektedir. Bu konumlanmalar kimlik gibi sosyal gerçekliklere göndermede bulunurlar.

Ekşi Höyük ve çevresindeki doğal çevre değişmelerinin belirlenmesi amacıyla delgi sondaj yöntemli paleocoğrafya ve jeoarkeoloji çalışmaları yapılmıştır. Bu kapsamda höyük üzerinde 10, höyüğün batısındaki alanda 6 olmak üzere toplam 16 adet sondaj gerçekleştirilmiştir. Sondajlardan alınan sediman örneklerinin sedimantolojik ve paleontolojik analiz sonuçları, sahada gerçekleştirilen arazi gözlemleri ile birleştirilerek Ekşi Höyük ve yakın çevresinin paleocoğrafya-jeoarkeoloji özellikleri ortaya konmuştur. Neolitik Çağda ilk yerleşim Neojen (Pliyosen) anakaya üzerinde başlamış olup, kültür katmanının kalınlığı höyüğün merkezinde 2 metreye kadar ulaşmaktadır. Ekşi-2018-13 ve Ekşi-2018-16 sondajlarında seramik ve çört / artifact (obsidyen?) parçalarına rastlanmıştır. İlk yerleşimin başladığı Neolitik’te höyüğün batısında Büyük Menderes Irmağı’nın gömülmüş bir menderese ait eski yatağın bulunduğu anlaşılmıştır.
