Data mining is the procedure of identifying the important and relevant data from large heterogeneous databases. Data mining plays an important role because of its usage in various domains. The transaction in the data mining defines the profit of the items associated with it. Earlier algorithms were proposed to measure the w-support without assigning predefined weights to determine the important transactions using the HITS model. Significant items are extracted from the databases using the quality of the transactions. However, there is considerable overhead in computing the w-support, as it requires four to five iterations. In this paper, two algorithms are proposed which uses the Poisson distribution and Normal distribution while computing the w-support without using the pre-assigned weights. The Poisson distribution uses the probability mass functions whereas the Normal distribution uses the probability density function to compute the w-support. The experiments were executed on various standard datasets. The results of our proposed algorithms show a considerable decrease in normalization time to compute the w-support as compared to the HITS model. Hence our algorithms provide better performance with respect to execution time and a number of significant items.

Many traditional systems give recommendations to the users based on their past history without considering the context of the situation the user is in currently. Such systems may be good at prediction based on the past but do not consider the rapidly changing environment and the prediction may not be the best for the user. Context personalized to the user is important because it explains the situation the user is in. The recommendations to the user should also change according to the various contexts present. Context often represents the hidden state information that the user is in currently. Many systems often take into consideration the location of the user because the situation of the user generally changes with the location. In this paper, we explain why context is important while predicting results for the users by reviewing a set of papers where different contexts such as weather, time, location, user preference, and activity have been taken into consideration. These papers have taken context such that the recommendations to users change dynamically according to their situation or location and these recommendations can be of various forms such as search results or targeted advertisement. Location based Services, Location based advertisement and several types of context have also been discussed in the paper. A general architecture of context-aware systems has also been proposed. Several real world companies also make use of this contextual information so that the user has a dynamic user experience where all the states which might affect his decision making are taken into consideration.
Pediatric Bartonella Infection (Cat Scratch Disease) Presenting as Inguinal Lymphadenopathy
Authors: Maniam Ganesh , Khan Aisha , Mattamal Raphael
Published: May 2020

Cat scratch disease is an infectious disease resulting from inoculation of Bartonella species through a cat scratch or bite, often presenting as an erythematous papule at the site of inoculation with nearby painful lymphadenopathy. The diagnosis of this disease is complicated by a wide variety of clinical presentations, as the primary lesion may not be initially noticed. Furthermore, cervical and axillary lymph nodes are the most commonly involved regions of tender lymphadenopathy, but there have been reported cases that do not fit the typical clinical picture – such the case discussed in this report of a pediatric Bartonella henselae infection that initially presented as left inguinal lymphadenopathy with underlying necrosis and abscess formation. In this case, a 9-year-old boy presented to the ED with a 4-day history of increasing mass in the left groin, as well as a subjective fever for the previous 2 days. An ultrasound revealed a necrotic abscess in the left inguinal lymph node which necessitated empiric antibiotic therapy and surgical excision; titers revealed a recent infection with Bartonella henselae. Atypical presentations of cat scratch disease, such as inguinal lymphadenopathy, have historically confounded the diagnosis. However, positive serology studies ultimately yielded the correct diagnoses in these children. Given that cat scratch disease can present in an atypical fashion in approximately 5 - 25% of cases, physicians should keep the disease on the differential even when presented with rare presentations such as inguinal lymphadenopathy; serological testing for B. henselae can be utilized once more likely etiologies have been ruled out.

Published: May 2020

With the proliferation of short term study abroad programs at institutions of higher education, there is a need for more rigorous assessment of how these pr ograms contribute to intercultural learning. This article presents a multi institutional comparative study of students’ intercultural learning in six short term study abroad programs in Canada and the U nited S tates , employing both quantitative and qualitat ive methods. The study combines pre and post IDI survey scores with a qualitative analysis of student writing to present evidence about the impact of specific program features on students’ intercultural learning, as well as an analysis of how the students themselves make sense of their experiences abroad. We argue that the extent of pre departure intercultural training has a positive relationship with intercultural learning outcomes. Additionally, we present evidence that service learning opportunities and intra group dynamics contribute to students’ intercultural competence. We conclude that mixed methods analysis provides the most effective way of identifying how different program factors contribute to intercultural growth, when that growth occurs in a pr ogram cycle, and how program leaders can provide effective intercultural interventions to best facilitate student learning abroad.

Authors: Павлова И. П. , Левчук Н. В. , Андреюк В. С.
Published: May 2020

Решение проблемы обеспечения безопасной эксплуатации ряда производственных объектов связано со своевременным проведением
диагностического обследования их технического состояния. На ряде предприятий в непрерывный процесс производства, являясь его важнейшей частью, включены дымовые трубы, являющиеся важнейшей частью процесса.
Дымовые трубы работают в сложных условиях и испытывают значительные статические и динамические нагрузки, воздействие уходящих газов, что приводит к повреждению материалов труб, изменению положения их элементов в пространстве, нарушению их целостности, возникновению трещин и других дефектов, и, как следствие, к повышению их аварийности при эксплуатации. При этом, как показывает практика, в настоящий момент большинство дымовых труб выработали свой проектный ресурс (50 лет).
Для предупреждения аварий проводится экспертиза промышленной безопасности, редусматривающая диагностику дымовых труб. Диагностика труб осуществляется с применением комплекса методов, включающим исследование степени карбонизационных повреждений.
Наиболее информативным способом определения степени карбонизации бетона является определение содержания углекислого газа в образцах бетона методом их растворения в концентрированной серной кислоте. В данной работе определена степень карбонизации бетона трубы на разных высотных отметках с анализом возможных причин, усугубляющих карбонизационные процессы и деградацию железобетона.

Comment l’intelligence artificielle s’attaque au manager ?
Authors: Dejoux Cécile
Published: May 2020

Le sujet de l’IA est principalement abordé en recherche sur son impact éthique ou économique. Peu de travaux s’intéressent à l’impact de l’IA sur la modification du rôle du manager et de sa personnalité. Cet article propose une rapide présentation de quelques résultats synthétiques d’une recherche consacrée pendant trois ans à l’observation des usages de l’IA en management. Il en ressort que le métier de manager n’est pas près d’être remplacé car le manager se définit par sa personnalité, ce que ne possède pas l’IA. Néanmoins, l’IA remet en question la répartition des tâches au travail. De plus, elle enrichit les pratiques managériales avec au moins quatre nouvelles catégories d’activités : la prédiction, l’individualisation, la notification et la culture data et redéfinit le rôle et les compétences des managers.

Cultural-geographical aspects in the development of borderland peripheries: an analysis of selected elements of territorial identity among residents of the Sušicko region
Authors: Chromý Pavel , Skála Jan
Published: May 2020

Among consequences of the new regional geography, marginality is not perceived as only the economic phenomenon. This article focuses on the socio-cultural dimension of marginality, using the concept of regional identity in a periphery, specifically in Sušice near Czechia’s borderlands. This means that both the consciousness of inhabitants in the region as well as the identity of the region itself are explored. Elements and processes involved in the formation of regional identity are discussed as a consequence of the regional development of the peripheral borderlands. The concept of regional identity seems to be crucial to any endogenous regional development strategy and can be successfully used in regional planning and territorial marketing as well as tourism management. In particular, any unique traits in peripheries, at the local or regional level, provide resources for future development amidst the generally limited development potential of peripheries and their communities. The article indicates that inhabitants can perceive the spatial determination of the model periphery. In contrast, certain non-marginal aspects of the region are also recognized by the local community. These non-marginal parameters form the essential elements of the local community’s regional identity and, according to public opinion, present opportunities for tourism development.

Este artigo tem como propósito abordar terapeuticamente possibilidades de problematização de práticas culturais diversas em ambientes formativos institucionalizados, apostando-se em suas potencialidades performativas para a promoção de práticas educativas transgressivas. Para este fim, fazemos, por um lado, um uso transgressivo-desconstrucionista dos escritos de Ludwig Wittgenstein, em particular, de seus estudos tardios, para se questionar o modo liberal-disciplinar-individual-meritocrático de se fazer escola praticando-a, invariavelmente, como lócus de assimilação psicológico-cognitiva de competências e habilidades em conteúdos disciplinares, o que torna as práticas educativas ideologicamente comprometidas e solidárias com a manutenção de regimes de verdade politicamente opressores, discriminadores, belicistas e socialmente excludentes. Por outro lado, fazemos também um uso transgressivo construtivo das investigações do filósofo, propondo-nos a descrever encenações de práticas culturais com um grupo de professores que levaram à investigação e realização efetivas, na escola, de práticas educativas indisciplinares, não dogmáticas e não homogeneizadoras. Tais práticas também mostraram seus poderes performativos transgressivos para a investigação e promoção de práticas escolares outras, orientadas por uma ética pós-humanista que elege as vidas que vicejam em diferentes formas de vida como eixo da ação educativa de formas de escolarização por virem.

Introduction: Migraine is a chronic neurological disease which has various etiological factors. It is important to highlight the importance of studies involving patients with migraine, as it generates significant limitations in quality of life. Objectives: To evaluate the association among pain impact, anthropometric status and others factors in migraine patients. Methods: Quantitative and descriptive, cross-sectional and secondary-based study, developed in a Clinical School of Pharmacy
of the city of Salvador-BA, with patients treated with migraine diagnosis, from April 2018 to March 2019, of 20 years old or more. Information was gathered about demographic, socioeconomic, anthropometric, lifestyle, clinical, pain impact [by Migraine Disability Assessment (MIDAS) and Headache Impact Test-6 questionnaires (HIT-6)] and pain intensity (visual pain scale). Logistic regression models were used to evaluate the factors associated with the pain impact with a value of p≤0.05. Results: Of the 40 patients evaluated, 87.5% were female, the average age detected was 40.35 ± 12.6 years. There was a prevalence of sedentary (87.5%), overweight (55%), high
waist circumference (68.4%), intestinal constipation (35%) and lactose intolerance (28.2%); high impact on daily activities: 62.5% (HIT-6) and 69.6% (MIDAS). Higher body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) averages were identified in patients with substantial/severe pain impact (p = 0.03 and p = 0.06, respectively) compared to those with no/some impact. The chances of greater impact of pain through HIT-6 seem to be associated with overweight (p = 0.04), female sex (p = 0.62) and physical inactivity (p = 0.89). Conclusion: Anthropometric status was associated with the impact of migraine. Overweight and female sex are related to migraine occurrence, and
together with physical inactivity seem to influence the pain impact.
