Multi-View Multi-Instance Multi-Label Learning Based on Collaborative Matrix Factorization
Authors: Xing Yuying , Yu Guoxian , Domeniconi Carlotta , Wang Jun , Zhang Zili , Guo Maozu
Published: August 2019

Multi-view Multi-instance Multi-label Learning (M3L) deals with complex objects encompassing diverse instances, represented with different feature views, and annotated with multiple labels. Existing M3L solutions only partially explore the inter or intra relations between objects (or bags), instances, and labels, which can convey important contextual information for M3L. As such, they may have a compromised performance.\

In this paper, we propose a collaborative matrix factorization based solution called M3Lcmf. M3Lcmf first uses a heterogeneous network composed of nodes of bags, instances, and labels, to encode different types of relations via multiple relational data matrices. To preserve the intrinsic structure of the data matrices, M3Lcmf collaboratively factorizes them into low-rank matrices, explores the latent relationships between bags, instances, and labels, and selectively merges the data matrices. An aggregation scheme is further introduced to aggregate the instance-level labels into bag-level and to guide the factorization. An empirical study on benchmark datasets show that M3Lcmf outperforms other related competitive solutions both in the instance-level and bag-level prediction.
Partial Label Learning via Label Enhancement
Authors: Xu Ning , Lv Jiaqi , Geng Xin
Published: August 2019

Partial label learning aims to learn from training examples each associated with a set of candidate labels, among which only one label is valid for the training example. The common strategy to induce predictive model is trying to disambiguate the candidate label set, such as disambiguation by identifying the ground-truth label iteratively or disambiguation by treating each candidate label equally. Nonetheless, these strategies ignore considering the generalized label distribution corresponding to each instance since the generalized label distribution is not explicitly available in the training set. In this paper, a new partial label learning strategy named PL-LE is proposed to learn from partial label examples via label enhancement. Specifically, the generalized label distributions are recovered by leveraging the topological information of the feature space. After that, a multi-class predictive model is learned by fitting a regularized multi-output regressor with the generalized label distributions. Extensive experiments show that PL-LE performs favorably against state-ofthe-art partial label learning approaches.
Data-Distortion Guided Self-Distillation for Deep Neural Networks
Authors: Xu Ting-Bing , Liu Cheng-Lin
Published: August 2019

Knowledge distillation is an effective technique that has been widely used for transferring knowledge from a network to another network. Despite its effective improvement of network performance, the dependence of accompanying assistive models complicates the training process of single network in the need of large memory and time cost. In this paper, we design a more elegant self-distillation mechanism to transfer knowledge between different distorted versions of same training data without the reliance on accompanying models. Specifically, the potential capacity of single network is excavated by learning consistent global feature distributions and posterior distributions (class probabilities) across these distorted versions of data. Extensive experiments on multiple datasets (i.e., CIFAR-10/100 and ImageNet) demonstrate that the proposed method can effectively improve the generalization performance of various network architectures (such as AlexNet, ResNet, Wide ResNet, and DenseNet), outperform existing distillation methods with little extra training efforts.
Oversampling for Imbalanced Data via Optimal Transport
Authors: Yan Yuguang , Tan Mingkui , Xu Yanwu , Cao Jiezhang , Ng Michael , Min Huaqing , Wu Qingyao
Published: August 2019

The issue of data imbalance occurs in many real-world applications especially in medical diagnosis, where normal cases are usually much more than the abnormal cases. To alleviate this issue, one of the most important approaches is the oversampling method, which seeks to synthesize minority class samples to balance the numbers of different classes. However, existing methods barely consider global geometric information involved in the distribution of minority class samples, and thus may incur distribution mismatching between real and synthetic samples. In this paper, relying on optimal transport (Villani 2008), we propose an oversampling method by exploiting global geometric information of data to make synthetic samples follow a similar distribution to that of minority class samples. Moreover, we introduce a novel regularization based on synthetic samples and shift the distribution of minority class samples according to loss information. Experiments on toy and real-world data sets demonstrate the efficacy of our proposed method in terms of multiple metrics.
Weighted Oblique Decision Trees
Authors: Yang Bin-Bin , Shen Song-Qing , Gao Wei
Published: August 2019

Decision trees have attracted much attention during the past decades. Previous decision trees include axis-parallel and oblique decision trees; both of them try to find the best splits via exhaustive search or heuristic algorithms in each iteration. Oblique decision trees generally simplify tree structure and take better performance, but are always accompanied with higher computation, as well as the initialization with the best axis-parallel splits. This work presents the Weighted Oblique Decision Tree (WODT) based on continuous optimization with random initialization. We consider different weights of each instance for child nodes at all internal nodes, and then obtain a split by optimizing the continuous and differentiable objective function of weighted information entropy. Extensive experiments show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
Confidence Weighted Multitask Learning
Authors: Yang Peng , Zhao Peilin , Zhou Jiayu , Gao Xin
Published: August 2019

Traditional online multitask learning only utilizes the firstorder information of the datastream. To remedy this issue, we propose a confidence weighted multitask learning algorithm, which maintains a Gaussian distribution over each task model to guide online learning process. The mean (covariance) of the Gaussian Distribution is a sum of a local component and a global component that is shared among all the tasks. In addition, this paper also addresses the challenge of active learning on the online multitask setting. Instead of requiring labels of all the instances, the proposed algorithm determines whether the learner should acquire a label by considering the confidence from its related tasks over label prediction. Theoretical results show the regret bounds can be significantly reduced. Empirical results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm is able to achieve promising learning efficacy, while simultaneously minimizing the labeling cost.
Deep Robust Unsupervised Multi-Modal Network
Authors: Yang Yang , Wu Yi-Feng , Zhan De-Chuan , Liu Zhi-Bin , Jiang Yuan
Published: August 2019

In real-world applications, data are often with multiple modalities, and many multi-modal learning approaches are proposed for integrating the information from different sources. Most of the previous multi-modal methods utilize the modal consistency to reduce the complexity of the learning problem, therefore the modal completeness needs to be guaranteed. However, due to the data collection failures, self-deficiencies, and other various reasons, multi-modal instances are often incomplete in real applications, and have the inconsistent anomalies even in the complete instances, which jointly result in the inconsistent problem. These degenerate the multi-modal feature learning performance, and will finally affect the generalization abilities in different tasks. In this paper, we propose a novel Deep Robust Unsupervised Multi-modal Network structure (DRUMN) for solving this real problem within a unified framework. The proposed DRUMN can utilize the extrinsic heterogeneous information from unlabeled data against the insufficiency caused by the incompleteness. On the other hand, the inconsistent anomaly issue is solved with an adaptive weighted estimation, rather than adjusting the complex thresholds. As DRUMN can extract the discriminative feature representations for each modality, experiments on real-world multimodal datasets successfully validate the effectiveness of our proposed method.
Parallel Restarted SGD with Faster Convergence and Less Communication: Demystifying Why Model Averaging Works for Deep Learning
Authors: Yu Hao , Yang Sen , Zhu Shenghuo
Published: August 2019

In distributed training of deep neural networks, parallel minibatch SGD is widely used to speed up the training process by using multiple workers. It uses multiple workers to sample local stochastic gradients in parallel, aggregates all gradients in a single server to obtain the average, and updates each worker’s local model using a SGD update with the averaged gradient. Ideally, parallel mini-batch SGD can achieve a linear speed-up of the training time (with respect to the number of workers) compared with SGD over a single worker. However, such linear scalability in practice is significantly limited by the growing demand for gradient communication as more workers are involved. Model averaging, which periodically averages individual models trained over parallel workers, is another common practice used for distributed training of deep neural networks since (Zinkevich et al. 2010) (McDonald, Hall, and Mann 2010). Compared with parallel mini-batch SGD, the communication overhead of model averaging is significantly reduced. Impressively, tremendous experimental works have verified that model averaging can still achieve a good speed-up of the training time as long as the averaging interval is carefully controlled. However, it remains a mystery in theory why such a simple heuristic works so well. This paper provides a thorough and rigorous theoretical study on why model averaging can work as well as parallel mini-batch SGD with significantly less communication overhead.

Authors: Strauss André
Published: August 2019

Making 3 complete seasonal inspection rounds (feb/mar; may/jun; aug/sep) in the same year, ideally carried out by one person, in the forest target area using an orienteering map or a map of similar quality (in paper or in an electronic device; ideally at a scale of 1: 5 000) with additional means, such as GPS, compass and recording devices, so that every accessible place on the target area is screened for new taxa. Screening in a first step for new taxa along all accessible ways in the target area, recording these by determining them directly or later (photo and/or plant material), recording localisation of them by GPS (and optionally by sketching in the orienteering map) and noting optionally their abundance and state. The maximum distance from the way for recording can be e.g. 3 m for herbaceous plants, 10 m for at least 1 m high shrubs and 20 m for at least 2 m high trees and including all taxa which can clearly be recognized from the way. Sketching in the inspection track in the orienteering map. Screening in a second step for new taxa by meandering in 5-20 m broad loops in the accessible subareas between all ways (not including taxa already recorded by screening along ways) and other lines visible on the orienteering map and/or in nature, so that every accessible place can be searched for new taxa. Recording of taxa and additional notes are done as given above for taxa along ways. This sampling method can possibly also be applied to complete plant taxa inventories in large forests in other zones using orienteering maps or maps of similar quality.“O-map/way method-taxa”: A sampling method for complete plant taxa inventories in large forests in the moderate/colline zone using orienteering maps or maps of a similar quality By André Strauss, August 29. 2019

Secondment of the Employees' Labor (Personnel's s Labor) as an Atypical Form of Employment
Authors: Chernykh N. V.
Published: August 2019

The article considers legal relations arising between the employee, the primary employer and the seconding employer when a secondment agreement is made to provide staff (personnel) and when the employment contract is made between the employee and the seconding employer represented by a private employment agency. It is noted that secondment of staff (personnel) is one of the legalized forms of atypical employment in the Russian Federation, the author considers peculiarities of such relations. The author discusses the problem of “precarization” of employees’ labor temporarily sent to the secondment employer, considers the mechanisms of protection of workers from deterioration of their legal status and determines inefficiency of such mechanisms. The paper considers the issues related to 1) modification of traditional approaches to regulation of labor relations with employees temporarily sent to another entity performing the functions of the employer; 2) the problems of implementation of collective rights of workers; 3) the refusal to use traditional mechanisms of bringing employees to disciplinary and financial responsibility; and 4) the “splitting” of the status of the employer between the primary employer and the seconding employer.
Types of a Legal Mistake Excluding Criminal Responsibility
Authors: Dorogin D. A.
Published: August 2019

The article deals with the problems of identification of such types of the legal mistake that exclude criminal liability. With regard to the legal regulation and on the basis of the provisions of the criminal law doctrine, the author gives his own classification of the legal mistake and substantiates the necessity of recognition of its legal significance. The author comes to the conclusion that the variety of legal mistakes should be systematized on the basis of two criteria each of which implies two variants of manifestation. They include the cause of the mistake (either a defect of lawmaking or a defect of perception of established normative requirements), as well as the nature of the mistake (either ignorance of the fact of existence of criminal law prohibition or ignorance of its content). Within the framework of a comprehensive classification based on various combinations of the criteria under consideration, four types of the legal mistake that exclude criminal responsibility are distinguished: 1) a mistake caused by a defect in lawmaking and related to the ignorance of the existence of the criminal law prohibition; 2) a mistake caused by a defect in lawmaking and associated with the ignorance of the content of the criminal law prohibition; 3) a mistake caused by a defect in perception of established normative requirements by a person and related to the ignorance of the fact of existence of the criminal law prohibition; 4) a mistake caused by a defect perception by the person of established regulatory requirements and associated with the ignorance of the content of the criminal law prohibition. The article deals with the problems of presumption of knowledge of the law and awareness of wrongfulness of the act with due regard to intersectoral links existing in criminal law. The author refers to the legal stance of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, the European Court of Human Rights, the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation and relies in his conclusions on the examples from case law and jurisprudence, and makes references to foreign experience.

Published: August 2019

Aim: In this study, we aim to discuss the radiological and clinical results of closed reduction and Kirschner wire fixation we performed on 16 cases with extra-articular unstable proximal phalangeal fracturesMaterials and Methods: Clinical and radiological data of 16 patients with closed, unstable (transverse or short oblique), extra-articular proximal phalangeal fractures to whom we performed closed reduction and fixation with Kirschner wire in Erzurum Regional Training and Research Hospital Orthopedics and Traumatology Clinic and Hand Surgery Clinic between 2014-2017 were retrospectively reviewedResults: Functional results of the patients are evaluated; mean active MP joint flexion was 78.75 (60-90) degrees, proximal IP joint flexion was 77.5 (65-100) degrees, distal IP joint flexion was 73.4 (60-80) degrees and mean TAM was 230 (170-270) degrees. Mean passive MP joint flexion was evaluated as 81.25 (60-90) degrees, mean proximal IP joint flexion as 83 (60-100) degrees and mean distal IP joint flexion as 74 (65-90) degrees. The grip strength was measured as 36 (23-50) kgW in the fractured hand and the healthy hand comparison was 40 (30-50) kgW. Statistically, there was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of grip strength (p<0.05). VAS mean was 1.25 (0-5), DASH mean was 10.5 (2-34), the mean distance between finger pulp and finger curve was 6.25 (0-23) mm. Belsky score was excellent in 4 patients, good in 9 patients and poor in 3 patients (Table 2). Two patients underwent tenolysis due to PIP joint contracture. Sudeck atrophy was observed in 1 patient for an average of 8 weeks. We achieved improvement with physical therapy, contrast bathing and medical treatment. There were no complications such as non-union, late union, superficial and deep infection, tenosynovitis. Our patients did not develop material extraction due to soft tissue and skin irritation. Radiologic evaluation of the follow up direct X-ray graphies revealed no displacement, angulation, and rotational deformities.Conclusion: The proximal phalanx is 'small in size' for the body and 'functioning big' for the upper limb. Fractures of the proximal phalanges can be fixed with Kirshner wires after failed stabilization with closed reduction and brace fixation. It is a practical method which has satisfactory outcomes and has a relatively low cost.

Magyarország nyitott gazdaság, ezért jelentős importra és exportra van szüksége. A magyar külkereskedelem jellemzően jól lehatárolható, amelyet meghatároz az EU- tagállamokkal és a V4-es országokkal való kapcsolat. Tanulmányomban adatelemzéssel és külkereskedelmi forgalmi adatok vizsgálatával igyekeztem az utóbbi évek tendenciáit feltárni, és azokból és következtetéseket levonni. E tanulmány keretében arra vállalkoztam, hogy reális érthető képet vázoljak fel az elmúlt évtized gazdaságpolitikájáról, a mai külgazdasági-külkereskedelmi vonatkozású kihívásairól, illetve a magyar importtevékenység helyzetéről.

Published: August 2019

O artigo propõe compreender o papel e importância das indicações geográficas (IGs) em países em desenvolvimento ou emergentes, devido à sua potencialidade na melhora de índices socioeconômicos locais, através da proteção e valorização do produto, assim como de sua região produtora. Presente principalmente no segmento de alimentos, o conceito de IG é utilizado para identificar e sinalizar a origem de um produto ou serviço, quando seu local de produção tenha se tornado conhecido por isso ou quando certa característica ou qualidade do bem se deva à sua origem geográfica. Para tanto, foram analisados trabalhos acadêmicos que abordassem a implementação e gestão de IGs em países com diferentes níveis de desenvolvimento, buscados nas bases de dados Scopus e Web of Science. A pesquisa é exploratória e bibliográfica, tendo como base a leitura crítica de 40 artigos. Desses, grande parte explora o processo e desafios envolvidos na implementação de indicações geográficas em diversos contextos e produtos. Outros, analisam a questão estrutural interna e planejamento de estratégias das indicações geográficas. Já outra parcela mensura e analisa a imagem que as IGs transmitem, seu papel como sinalizadoras de procedência e a influência que exercem sobre os consumidores. A partir desta análise, verificou-se que nenhum dos artigos relaciona ou examina especificamente a questão do uso da indicação geográfica como ferramenta de alavancagem de desenvolvimento para países/regiões em desenvolvimento, encontrando-se uma lacuna no arcabouço teórico da área e a necessidade de estudos e casos práticos que comprovem essa relação entre a utilização de IG e desenvolvimento local.

Objectives:
To
determine fulvestrant efficacy and tolerability in Turkish patients with
hormone receptor-positive metastatic breast cancer. Methods: Patients
who developed metastasis while taking tamoxifen or aromatase inhibitors in the
adjuvant period or metastatic disease at the diagnosis. Fulvestrant 500 mg was
administered intramuscularly every 28 days. Progression-free survival (PFS) and
overall survival (OS) durations were calculated. Results: In this
particular research, totally 137 patients were participated. Median PFS was 9 months
(95% CI, 5.7-10.3). The 12-month PFS rate was calculated as 42%, and the
36-month PFS rate was 17%. The median PFS was not reached in the first line use
of fulvestrant in the metastatic period but 9 months and 7 months in the second
and subsequent lines respectively. Results indicated that this difference was
statistically significant (p =
0.002). It was shown that patients with liver and brain metastasis had lower
PFS compared patients with no liver and no brain metastasis. The estimated
median OS was 38 months after fulvestrant started. The 12-month OS rate was
calculated as 82.4%, and the 36-month OS rate was 50%.

Conclusions: Fulvestrant contributes both PFS and OS in patients with
hormone receptor-positive metastatic breast cancer and this effect is more
clear in using fulvestrant as first-line treatment.
In the Shackles of the Evil One The Portrayal of Tsar Symeon I the Great (893–927) in the Oration "On the treaty with the Bulgarians"
Authors: Marinow Kirił , Zytka Michał
Published: August 2019

The year 927 brought a peace treaty between Byzantium and Bulgaria, which ended many years of military struggle between both the states. On this occasion Theodore Daphnopates delivered a speech praising the newly concluded agreement. The blame for the accursed war was to put on (already dead) Symeon I (893–927), the then Bulgarian ruler, and his ungodly aspirations to the crown of the Byzantine Empire. It was his personal ambitions that were a real infringement on the God’s earthly order, and it was only and exclusively Symeon, who lead to the appearance of a crack on the House of the Lord. The Bulgarian ruler is referred to as pharaoh, holding the chosen people captive. Symeon is also characterised like various ungodly personages from the Old and New Testament, i e Goliath, Ader, Holophernes or even the Devil himself. It can therefore be concluded that Symeon was a usurper, tyrant, sower of discord, murderer, fratricide, and one who committed sacrilege. Daphnopates explicitly writes about his lies, hiding his true intentions, not fulfilling agreements and instability in his proceedings. So, by means of a variety of hints to ancient history, literature and the Bible the speaker present Symeon as a usurper and an enemy of truth, a servant of Satan.
Fund Collection through Litigation by the State Treasury in the Roman Empire (with Special Reference to the First Three Centuries A.D.)
Authors: Dyjakowska Marzena
Published: August 2019

The paper discusses the confiscation of property (publicatio bonorum) as a source of revenue for the fiscus in ancient Rome. The term fiscus means, among other things, the public property, State funds, but also the private property of emperors. The confiscated property could be adjudged not only to aerarium – the State Treasury (publicare), but also to the personal treasury of emperors, and trials seem to have been inspired to supply it. The most „successful” accusation was connected with the crime of lese-majesty: the scope of this crime was especially wide and it was easy to convict the defendant. The Senate often voted for adjudgement of the confiscated property in respect of the Emperor, especially if the convict had received some benefits from him. This practice turned into a rule and the Emperor’s treasury became the sole beneficiary of publicatio bonorum. Some emperors are especially known as rulers accumulating their private property on confiscated goods (Caligula, Septimius Severus, Domitian). A portion of those goods was due to the children of the defendant; some rescripts issued by the emperors even ordered to transfer his whole property in the first place to his descendants. In spite of the rule that it was necessary to find the defendant guilty to confiscate his property, the publicatio bonorum was not available; when he committed suicide before the sentence, a presumption was made that this act was equal to a guilty plea. According to another rule – confessus pro indicato est – the defendant was convicted unless his suicide was justified. The personal belongings (pannicularia) were to be confiscated, too, but only after the conviction.
Quss Ibn Sa’ida al-Iyadi (6th–7th Cent. A.D.), Bishop of Najran An Arabic and Islamic Cultural Hero
Authors: Dziekan Marek M.
Published: August 2019

The article deals with the half-legendary Quss Ibn Sa’ida from an ancient North Arab tribe Iyad, who is believed to have been a bishop of the Yemeni city of Najran and a monk (anachorete). The sources from the Quranic and medieval Arab (Muslim) tradition are gathered and analysed to underline the vivid place that Quss had in later historiography and theological works, and his unique position, a Christian, in the history of the Arab-Muslim culture. The case of Quss is not without value as far as the problem of common historical memory is concerned.

Medieval Christian Dualist Perceptions and Conceptions of Biblical Paradise
Authors: Stoyanov Yuri
Published: August 2019

The article intends to draw attention to some of the most significant and telling appropriations of traditional themes of Biblical paradise in medieval Christian dualism (namely, Paulicianism, Bogomilism and related groups in Eastern Christendom and Catharism in Western Christendom) and initiate discussion on the important but presently not always explicable problem of their theological and literary provenance. The significance of this problematic is highlighted by the increasing amount of direct and indirect evidence of the role played by a number of early Jewish and Christian pseudepigraphic works in the formation of medieval Christian dualist cosmogonic, cosmological, satanological, Christological and biblical history traditions. The preliminary survey of medieval dualist conceptions of biblical Paradise shows also once more that the doctrinal evidence for Bogomilism and Catharism is too complex and polyvalent to be defined or ignored apriori as representing medieval heresiological constructs drawing on earlier heresiological texts and stereotypes. The material examined in the article shows that the text-critical treatment of the primary sources to first establish the most plausible literary and theological provenance of the respective teachings attributed to medieval Christian dualist groups or individuals still remains indispensable to the study of medieval heresy and needs to precede the application of models and approaches drawn from contemporary anthropological and sociological theory to the source material.
Incidence of Brown Plant Hopper in the Rice Field with the Use of Different Doses of Fertilizers
Authors: Singh Arshdeep , Jaswal Anita , Sarkar Shimpy
Published: August 2019

The rice brown planthopper is a rice pest, which one is very harmful when the nitrogen fertilizer is applied at a higher rate. To evaluate the effect of brown plant hopper by using different fertilizers on transplanted basmati rice, a field experiment was conducted at the experimental farm of School of Agriculture, in Lovely Professional University, Punjab during Kharif season 2015–2016. The different fertilizer doses were used, and the experiment comprised of 15 treatments. The results showed that the nitrogen fertilizer did not harm to rice crop, but the attack of brown planthopper was icreased due to more succulent tissues of a rice plant. The nitrogen increased the photosynthesis effect and ratio in the plant due to more production of chlorophyll. In case of another fertilizer P and K (P2O5 and K2O) are not promoting but also nor affecting to insect/pests attack. Zinc sulfate proved that its effect was much positive towards crop because the zinc sulfate making less susceptibility of plants to pest attack at all doses. The rice crop was showed highest brown plant hopper attack at 50 kg ha-1 of nitrogen and also showed maximum plant height, number of tillers, panicles/plant, and 1000 grain weight. Maximum grain and straw yield (7093 kg/ha, 8753 kg/ha) was recorded in T9 where N- 50, P-40 kg ha-1 was applied. The grain yield and straw yield was recorded maximum in treated plots as compared to the control.

A field experiment was conducted to study the residual effect of integrated nutrient management in little millet on production potential of succeeding green gram crop under little millet-green gram cropping system. The residual effect of 50% RDN through chemical fertilizer + 50% RDN through vermicompost to Kharif little millet reported the significant effect on growth, yield attributes, seed and stover yields of succeeding green gram followed by 50% RDN through chemical fertilizer + 50% RDN through biocompost. Application of 50% RDN through chemical fertilizer + 50% RDN through vermicompost recorded maximum plant height at 60 DAS (52.08 cm) and at harvest (75.07 cm), maximum number of branches per plant at harvest (5.00), dry matter accumulation per plant (26.56 g), seed index (3.39 g) seed yield (991 kg/ha) and stover yield (2513 kg/ha). Thus, application of 50% RDN through chemical fertilizer + 50% RDN through vermicompost along with a recommended dose of 40 kg P2O5 reported the promising residual effect on growth, yield and yield attributing characters of succeeding green gram in little millet-green gram cropping sequence.
Agro-residues disinfection methods for mushroom cultivation: A review
Authors: Gowda N.A. Nanje , Manvi Dronachari
Published: August 2019

Agro residues have effectively been utilized as a substrate in mushroom cultivation. The substrates used in cultivating edible mushroom requires varying degree of pre-treatments in order to promote the growth of mushroom mycelium by excluding other competitor microorganisms. Sterilization using hot water, steam or chemical methods is done to disinfect the substrate. However, sterilization is not an ideal disinfection method as it kills both beneficial and harmful organisms in the substrate. Pasteurisation of the substrate seems to be the better alternative which permits re-growth of beneficial organisms during the cooling period. This paper presents an outline on the utilisation of agro residues as substrate in mushroom cultivation. Various methods of chemical, non-chemical sterilization and pasteurisation of substrate have been discussed. It also highlights that more focus is needed to promote mushroom growers to adopt the pasteurization technique than sterilization by developing simple and low cost pasteurization equipments for rural and small scale mushrooms growers.
