Published: August 2021

Background

The rapid growth of social media as an information channel has made it possible to quickly spread inaccurate or false vaccine information, thus creating obstacles for vaccine promotion.

Objective

The aim of this study is to develop and evaluate an intelligent automated protocol for identifying and classifying human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine misinformation on social media using machine learning (ML)–based methods.

Methods

Reddit posts (from 2007 to 2017, N=28,121) that contained keywords related to HPV vaccination were compiled. A random subset (2200/28,121, 7.82%) was manually labeled for misinformation and served as the gold standard corpus for evaluation. A total of 5 ML-based algorithms, including a support vector machine, logistic regression, extremely randomized trees, a convolutional neural network, and a recurrent neural network designed to identify vaccine misinformation, were evaluated for identification performance. Topic modeling was applied to identify the major categories associated with HPV vaccine misinformation.

Results

A convolutional neural network model achieved the highest area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.7943. Of the 28,121 Reddit posts, 7207 (25.63%) were classified as vaccine misinformation, with discussions about general safety issues identified as the leading type of misinformed posts (2666/7207, 36.99%).

Conclusions

ML-based approaches are effective in the identification and classification of HPV vaccine misinformation on Reddit and may be generalizable to other social media platforms. ML-based methods may provide the capacity and utility to meet the challenge involved in intelligent automated monitoring and classification of public health misinformation on social media platforms. The timely identification of vaccine misinformation on the internet is the first step in misinformation correction and vaccine promotion.

Authors: Mathlin Georgina , Freestone Mark , Taylor Celia , Shaw Jake
Published: August 2021

Background

Offenders with personality disorder can be challenging to engage and retain in treatment. The UK Offender Personality Disorder (OPD) pathway aims to proactively and responsively identify and engage offenders with personality disorder. However, a subpopulation of offenders on the pathway have been found to not be accepted into any OPD service and therefore fail to progress.

Objective

This study aims to identify and describe offenders on the OPD pathway who fail to progress and to understand the causal drivers by which individuals fail to progress in the pathway.

Methods

A sample of 50 offenders on the OPD pathway who had been refused from at least two OPD services (nonprogression group) were compared to 100 offenders accepted into OPD services (control group). Partial least squares structural equation modeling was used to model the causal factors involved in not being accepted into OPD services.

Results

The path coefficients in the structural model showed that the most influential factor in nonprogression was attitude toward treatment (β=.41; P<.001; f2=0.25) alongside those with psychopathology (β=.41; P<.001; f2=0.25), specifically, psychopathy, psychosis, and co-occurring personality disorder.

Conclusions

The findings of the study provide a basis of how to work with this population in the future to increase the likelihood of acceptance into OPD services.
Social Media Polarization and Echo Chambers in the Context of COVID-19: Case Study
Authors: Jiang Julie , Ren Xiang , Ferrara Emilio
Published: August 2021

Background

Social media chatter in 2020 has been largely dominated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Existing research shows that COVID-19 discourse is highly politicized, with political preferences linked to beliefs and disbeliefs about the virus. As it happens with topics that become politicized, people may fall into echo chambers, which is the idea that one is only presented with information they already agree with, thereby reinforcing one’s confirmation bias. Understanding the relationship between information dissemination and political preference is crucial for effective public health communication.

Objective

We aimed to study the extent of polarization and examine the structure of echo chambers related to COVID-19 discourse on Twitter in the United States.

Methods

First, we presented Retweet-BERT, a scalable and highly accurate model for estimating user polarity by leveraging language features and network structures. Then, by analyzing the user polarity predicted by Retweet-BERT, we provided new insights into the characterization of partisan users.

Results

We observed that right-leaning users were noticeably more vocal and active in the production and consumption of COVID-19 information. We also found that most of the highly influential users were partisan, which may contribute to further polarization. Importantly, while echo chambers exist in both the right- and left-leaning communities, the right-leaning community was by far more densely connected within their echo chamber and isolated from the rest.

Conclusions

We provided empirical evidence that political echo chambers are prevalent, especially in the right-leaning community, which can exacerbate the exposure to information in line with pre-existing users’ views. Our findings have broader implications in developing effective public health campaigns and promoting the circulation of factual information online.

Authors: Tomaszewski Tre , Morales Alex , Lourentzou Ismini , Caskey Rachel , Liu Bing , Schwartz Alan , Chin Jessie
Published: August 2021

Background

The vaccination uptake rates of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine remain low despite the fact that the effectiveness of HPV vaccines has been established for more than a decade. Vaccine hesitancy is in part due to false information about HPV vaccines on social media. Combating false HPV vaccine information is a reasonable step to addressing vaccine hesitancy.

Objective

Given the substantial harm of false HPV vaccine information, there is an urgent need to identify false social media messages before it goes viral. The goal of the study is to develop a systematic and generalizable approach to identifying false HPV vaccine information on social media.

Methods

This study used machine learning and natural language processing to develop a series of classification models and causality mining methods to identify and examine true and false HPV vaccine–related information on Twitter.

Results

We found that the convolutional neural network model outperformed all other models in identifying tweets containing false HPV vaccine–related information (F score=91.95). We also developed completely unsupervised causality mining models to identify HPV vaccine candidate effects for capturing risk perceptions of HPV vaccines. Furthermore, we found that false information contained mostly loss-framed messages focusing on the potential risk of vaccines covering a variety of topics using more diverse vocabulary, while true information contained both gain- and loss-framed messages focusing on the effectiveness of vaccines covering fewer topics using relatively limited vocabulary.

Conclusions

Our research demonstrated the feasibility and effectiveness of using predictive models to identify false HPV vaccine information and its risk perceptions on social media.

An opaque, white chitosan/ Hydroxyapatite nanocomposite was prepared by a simple blend method. Morphology, pore size and dispersion of nano-hydroxyapatite in chitosan matrix were visualized using SEM images. The FTIR and SEM with EDX analysis confirmed the bony apatite layer was formed on the outside of the composite. Porosity measurements and water uptake studies of the nanocomposite were evaluated which revealed the maximum porosity of 80% to 92% in the chitosan: hydroxyapatite nanocomposite at the ratio of 20:80. The results also showed that water absorption ability was inversely proportional to the hydroxyapatite present in the nanocomposite. The porosity of prepared nanocomposite was corresponding to the cancellous bone porosity of 50% to 90% suggesting possible applications in bone transplantation. The nanocomposite exhibited antibacterial activity towards the tested Gram-negative and Gram-positive species of bacteria and reduced the bacterial adhesion in biofilm formation.

Este capítulo de reflexión muestra los resultados de la evaluación sobre las implicaciones que tiene para los socios o accionistas en Colombia la norma tributaria que establece las responsabilidades solidarias en materia fiscal; esto se realiza de forma comparativa con el fin de evidenciar la disparidad en los costos y riesgos asumidos por tipo de sociedad. La metodología que se implementó corresponde al estudio de casos, los cuales tienen que ver con empresas que han presentado incumplimientos fiscales y cuya forma societaria es diferente, además deben enfrentarse a unas sanciones fiscales que representan un riesgo para los socios, dada la responsabilidad solidaria que establece la norma tributaria. Previo a este trabajo se realizó un estudio de información secundaria que permitió sustentar, a nivel teórico y normativo, las diferencias en los riesgos asumidos por los socios, así como las posibles afectaciones. Los resultados permiten resaltar riesgos fiscales subvalorados a nivel financiero: el desconocimiento frente a las responsabilidades asumidas en la calidad de socio en relación con el tipo de sociedad comercial, así como las debilidades en la gestión tributaria y en el conocimiento de los procedimientos tributarios.

The advantages of these robots are hands-free and fast data input operations. In the field of agricultural autonomous vehicle, a concept is been developed to investigate if multiple small autonomous machine could be more efficient than traditional large tractors and human forces. Keeping the above ideology in mind, a unit with the following feature is designed: Ploughing is one of the first steps in farming. During this process we till the land and make it ready for the seed sowing. By tilling we mean that a plough will be used which will have teeth’s like structure at the end and will be able to turn the top layer of soil down and vice-versa. Seed sowing comes next where the seeds need to be put in ground at regular intervals and these needs to be controlled automatically. Limiting the flow of seeds from the seeds chamber is typically doing this. Mud leveler is fitted to close the seeds to the soil and to level the ground.

Social media websites are among the internet's most far-reaching digital sites. Billions of social network users exist Users' frequent interactions with social networking sites, like Twitter, have a widespread and sometimes unfortunate effect on day-to-day life. Social networking sites make it easy for large amounts of unwanted and unrelated information to spread around the world. Twitter is a popular micro blogging service where users connect with others with similar interests. Because of the current popularity of Twitter, it is vulnerable to public shaming. Recently, Twitter has emerged as a rich source of human-generated information, with the added benefit of connecting you with customers and enabling two-way communication. It is generally accepted that when someone posts a comment in an occurrence, it is likely to humiliate the victim. The fact that shaming users' follower counts increase faster than that of the people who don't use shame is interesting. Using machine learning algorithms, users will be able to identify disrespectful words, as well as the overall negativity of those words, which is displayed in a percentage.

Authors: Jana Dipankar
Published: August 2021

An electric vehicle has an electric drive motor which is coupled to drive train for converting the rotational movement of the motor into linear motion of the vehicle and an energy storage device to provide power for the motor uses. Present invention takes advantage of the powerful wind force generated by the vehicle motion. Wind driven turbine of particular design is mounted to rotate the wind energy capturing device upon or in the upper portion of the roof and other is installed under the bonnet area of an electric vehicle to transform wind energy into electrical energy for feeding such energy into the battery pack as the vehicle is being driven forward. At least six wind energy capturing devices are coupled for generating a fast electric potential for recharging the power source. Said wind energy capturing devices would be mounted on particular designed housing and suitable clamps. The motive power of the air rotates the wind-turbines, which are rotatably engaged with an armature shaft to produce electrical energy that is used to continuously recharge the batteries in all phases of road travel, that power the vehicle. Thereby driving range is extended of the vehicle between external charging cycles and reduces time required for that.

Representation and Denoising of ECG Signal Using Hybrid Filtering Approach
Authors: Venkat Neeraj
Published: August 2021

Electrocardiogram (ECG) signal plays an imperative role in monitoring and examining the health condition of the heart. ECG signal represents the electrical activity of the heat. The most consequential noises that degrade important features in ECG signal are powerline interference noise, external electromagnetic field interference noise, baseline wandering and electroencephalogram noise. The features of ECG signal obtained in time domain is not sufficient for analyzing the ECG signal. As the signal is non-stationary, the time-frequency representation can be used for feature extraction. The Short Time Fourier Transform can be used but its time frequency precision is not optimal. In this current project, we will be able to implement the ideology proposed to overcome the problem among various time frequency transformation. The discrete wavelet transform (DWT) is used which gives effective results for non-stationary signals like ECG signal which may be often contaminated. The combination of Savitzky-Golay filtering and DWT can be used for ECG denoising and feature extraction which has the advantage of preserving the important feature by elimination the noise components. The method is applied for the database which is taken from MIT- BIH arrhythmia and the algorithm is implemented in MATLAB platform.
A Brief Analysis about Anubhavamantapa & Parliament of India
Authors: Chidananda Dr. R. G.
Published: August 2021

The Parliament of India is the supreme legislative authority in the country and it is bicameral. It is divided into two houses – the Rajya Sabha, which is the Council of States, and the Lok Sabha, which is the House of the People. The Lok Sabha can be dissolved. In Rajya Sabha, 238 members are elected by the State and 12 members are nominated by the President for their contribution in the fields of art, literature, science and social services. The citizens of India directly elect the 543 members exercising the universal adult franchise. All the Indian citizens, who are aged 18 years and above, irrespective of their gender, caste, religion or race, are eligible to vote to elect their representatives to the Parliament. BASAVESHVARA established ANUBHAVA MANTAPA, a seat for intellectual discourses and provided equal opportunity to learn to all persons. It was a laboratory of Basaveshvara own preaching’s. He was the protagonist of equality and therefore the Anubhava Mantapa was open to all without distinctions of old and young, rich and poor, men and women, high and low, king and servants. It is a well-known fact that for centuries before Basaveshvara’s movement and also even during his period, there had been unimaginable wastage of talent because of the caste system. Basaveshvara pleaded for suitable opportunities to be provided for all the citizens for the fullest development of their personality. Learning had been the monopoly of a few privileged people only and a large section of the society was deprived of such a facility and it led to exploitation of the under-privileged by a few privileged ones. Basaveshvara revolted against such a system and proclaimed that knowledge is not the monopoly of a few people.

Introduction: Global outcomes can strengthen inferences from clinical trials. We evaluate global outcomes for persistent post-concussive symptoms (PCS) after mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) in two clinical trials of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) in United States service members. Methods: During study design, outcomes of symptom, cognitive, and functional impairments planned for a trial of HBO2 for PCS (HOPPS) were weighted and grouped into different domains to formulate the composite outcome total score. The composite outcome was compared between the intervention groups in HOPPS and those in a subsequent HBO2 trial (BIMA) for validation. Additionally, two post hoc global outcome measures were explored, including one composed of components that demonstrated favorable characteristics in both studies and another via components used in another TBI randomized trial (COBRIT). Results: In total, 143 active-duty or veteran military personnel were randomized across the two studies. Composite total scores improved from baseline for HBO2 (mean±SD -2.9±9.0) and sham (-2.9±6.6) groups in HOPPS but did not differ significantly between groups (p=0.33). In BIMA, 13-week changes from baseline favored the HBO2 group (-3.6±6.4) versus sham (-0.3±5.2; p=0.02). No between-group differences were found when COBRIT composite scoring was applied to BIMA. Overall, HBO2 effects were maximized when the post hoc global measure derived from both studies was applied to the data. Conclusions: Composite total scores in HOPPS and BIMA were consistent with primary study results. The global measures considered may offer utility as endpoints to achieve maximal HBO2 effect in future trials of the mTBI population.
QUANDO A GENIALIDADE FRACASSA: UMA TENTATIVA DE APROXIMAÇÃO ENTRE AS PERSONAGENS LÖNNROT E HOLMES DE JORGE LUÍS BORGES E ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE
Authors: Souza Cristina Gonçalves Ferreira de
Published: August 2021

Neste ensaio, investigo a relação entre de Jorge Luís Borges e de Arthur Conan Doyle a partir das personagens Erik Lönnrot e Sherlock Holmes dos contos A morte e a bússola e A face amarela. Esses textos se destacam porque falhas cometidas pelos protagonistas produziram desfechos que fogem ao tradicional nas narrativas policiais. Iniciamos falando do romance policial e apresentando cada autor, em seguida analisamos os contos selecionados, para, por fim, analisar pontos de aproximação/distanciamento entre os textos e entre as obras dos autores. Concluímos que Doyle mantém a tradição e que Borges recupera a narrativa policial tradicional e a transcende, como uma forma de homenagem e valorização do gênero.
LITERATURA NO SÉCULO XXI: LAÇOS AMPLIADOS PARA O DIGITAL
Authors: Bin Margarete Maria Soares
Published: August 2021

Neste artigo discute-se sobre o que é Literatura Eletrônica, bem como se apresenta a poética que se encontra na Coleção de Literatura Eletrônica, presente em três volumes. Há que se considerar sobre a importância de se conhecer esta forma interativa de realizar a leitura e em decorrência disso, a sua promoção. Pelas discussões aqui propostas percebe-se que esses meios eletrônicos se mostram diferenciados do impresso. Entretanto, desde o surgimento da poesia concreta até a poesia digital, o livro em sua versão física não desapareceu, apenas sofreu alterações com a introdução da Literatura Eletrônica, tal fato demonstra que os dois tipos de formatos podem conviver tranquilamente.

AS CAPACIDADES DE LINGUAGEM EM GÊNERO ARTIGO DE OPINIÃO: UMA ANÁLISE TEXTUAL À LUZ DO INTERACIONISMO SOCIODISCURSIVO
Authors: Florêncio Deymika de Carvalho , Lima Paulo da Silva
Published: August 2021

Neste estudo, objetivamos analisar como são mobilizadas as capacidades de linguagem (capacidades de ação, capacidades discursivas e capacidades linguístico-discursivas) para a construção de sentidos em gênero artigo de opinião. Selecionamos para a análise o artigo Aprendimentos Aterrados à Beira-Mar, um dos vencedores na Olimpíada de Língua Portuguesa Escrevendo o Futuro, 6ª edição - 2019. Visamos compreender como o produtor do artigo analisado opera essas capacidades para estruturar o seu texto e construir sua argumentação. Para tanto, fundamentamo-nos no quadro teórico do Interacionismo Sociodiscursivo, destacando os estudos de Bronckart (2007) e Dolz e Schneuwly (2004), que defendem a produção e análise textual com base nas capacidades de linguagem, em Machado (2005), que auxilia na compreensão dessa teoria. Para o entendimento do gênero artigo de opinião, apoiamo-nos em Castellani e Barros (2018), Rodrigues (2005) e Uber (2008). Como resultados, constatamos que o produtor do artigo analisado desempenha com proficiência a ação de linguagem, demonstrando consciência quanto à situação e finalidade de comunicação. Apresenta conhecimentos quanto à estrutura do gênero artigo de opinião, apresentando uma situação polêmica, defendendo uma tese com argumentos e contra-argumentos, com uso de discurso teórico e sequências argumentativas. Ademais, apresenta mecanismos enunciativos e de textualização que contribuem para coesão e coerência textual.

Apresenta-se a análise de um documento regulatório da atividade de uma tutoria que se desenvolve no contexto da Universidade Aberta do Brasil (UAB). O objetivo é compreender de que modo se constrói discursivamente a atividade do tutor nas normas estabelecidas pelo Programa. Verificou-se  que o enunciador institucional, no texto regulatório, dialoga com um interlocutor-tutor instituído como um ser dotado dos saberes procedimentais específicos de seu trabalho, antecipando uma resposta ativa de máxima adesão ao prescrito, sob a ameaça da perda do posto de trabalho.
FORMAÇÃO DE PROFESSORES SOB A PERSPECTIVA DA ANÁLISE DO TRABALHO: DIFICULDADES, CONFLITOS E POSSIBILIDADES DO MÉTIER
Authors: Fazion Flavia , Lousada Eliane Gouvêa
Published: August 2021

Neste artigo, apresentamos as análises de um tipo de verbalização sobre o trabalho que chamamos de diálogo dirigido sobre a atividade, ou seja, uma discussão organizada em torno da escrita e leitura do plano de aula e relato da aula dada, bem como as reflexões que se abrem para solucioná-los durante a discussão com os pares. Essa atividade foi desenvolvida em um curso de extensão para formação de professores de línguas sob a perspectiva da análise do trabalho. Apoiamo-nos em um quadro teórico interdisciplinar que sustenta nossas análises e orienta a concepção do dispositivo de formação, baseado em uma postura epistemológica interacionista social. A análise dos excertos permite-nos observar que o dispositivo de formação possibilitou aos participantes observar questões sobre o seu trabalho que antes não apareciam de forma clara.
A FLOR DE MULUNGU: POR UM SUPLEMENTO BIOGRÁFICO-CULTURAL
Authors: Leite Viviani Cavalcante de Oliveira , Nolasco Edgar Cézar
Published: August 2021

Este trabalho propõe uma teorização epistêmico-conceitual acerca do suplemento biográfico-cultural partindo do conceito de suplemento à esteira de Jacques Derrida. Para tanto nos valeremos de uma epistemologia de cunho crítico biográfico fronteiriço, uma vez que pensamos a partir de lócus e de corpos específicos.  Nossa teorização se dará por meio de uma leitura comparatista entre o conto “Macabéa, Flor de Mulungu” de Conceição Evaristo  e a novela “A hora da estrela” de Clarice Lispectors. Nesta perspectiva, nos embasaremos  nos pressupostos da crítica biográfica e crítica biográfica fronteiriça desenvolvidas respectivamente pelos intelectuais Eneida Maria de Souza e Edgar Cézar Nolasco. Por fim, almejamos considerar em nossa leitura, o bios e o lócus dos sujeitos envolvidos nesta reflexão bem como suas (in)corporações nas produções literárias e intelectuais, partindo da premissa de que é a partir das sensibilidades do corpo é que se dão tais produções.
COMPREENSÃO E RESPOSTA: LINGUAGEM, SINGULARIDADE E SUBJETIVIDADE NA EDUCAÇÃO INFANTIL
Authors: Silva Fernanda Rafaella da , Petrus Wilton , Dos Santos Adriana Cavalcanti
Published: August 2021

O presente artigo definiu por objetivo refletir sobre como as crianças constroem os caminhos interpretativos para compreender a palavra outra, tornando-a palavra própria. Foi um estudo de caso de abordagem qualitativa, configurada pelos pressupostos do Cotejo bakhtiniano. A proposta do Cotejo como metodologia para o trabalho com a linguagem, possibilitou às crianças um alargamento das compreensões e um posicionamento individual nos seus enunciados. Os dados foram coletados a partir da observação de um evento discursivo na Educação Infantil, com o uso do gênero música. Os resultados revelaram que, ao cotejar o texto com outros contextos na interação dialógica, as crianças apresentaram marcas de singularidade através do meio social e dos dizeres de outrem para construir sentidos próprios.
