Towards More Reliable Deep Learning-Based Link Adaptation for WiFi 6
Authors: Hussien Mostafa
Published: November 2020

The problem of selecting the modulation and coding scheme (MCS) that maximizes the system throughput, known as link adaptation, has been investigated extensively, especially for IEEE 802.11 (WiFi) standards. Recently, deep learning has widely been adopted as an efficient solution to this problem. However, in failure cases, predicting a higher-rate MCS can result in a failed transmission. In this case, a retransmission is required, which largely degrades the system throughput. To address this issue, we model the adaptive modulation and coding (AMC) problem as a multi-label multi-class classification problem. The proposed modeling allows more control over what the model predicts in failure cases. We also design a simple, yet powerful, loss function to reduce the number of retransmissions due to higher-rate MCS classification errors. Since wireless channels change significantly due to the surrounding environment, a huge dataset has been generated to cover all possible propagation conditions. However, to reduce training complexity, we train the CNN model using part of the dataset. The effect of different subdataset selection criteria on the classification accuracy is studied. The proposed model adapts the IEEE 802.11ax communications standard in outdoor scenarios. The simulation results show the proposed loss function reduces up to 50% of retransmissions compared to traditional loss functions.

However, to reduce training complexity, we train the CNN model using part of the dataset. The effect of different subdataset selection criteria on the classification accuracy is studied. It is shown that some criteria for dataset selection consistently behave better than others. To confirm the performance, we applied the proposed model for adapting the IEEE 802.11ax standard in outdoor propagation scenarios. The simulation results show that the proposed loss function reduces up to 50% of retransmissions compared to traditional loss functions. Finally, we propose an optimal subdataset selection criterion.

Published: November 2020

Introduction: Inappropriate shocks in patients with an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) are associated with significant psychological and physical consequences and increased long-term mortality.
The aim: To assess predictors associated with inappropriate high-energy discharges of implantable cardioverter-defibrillators.
Material and Methods: Retrospective data analysis of 150 patients aged 64.2±12.8 years (84.7% male) admitted to the Hospital Emergency Department due to at least one
cardioverter-defibrillator discharge was performed. All of the discharges were inappropriate in the group of 33 patients, and in the group of 117 patients at least one discharge was appropriate. The following data: age, gender, concomitant diseases, type of ICD implantation (primary vs. secondary prevention), type of discharge, number of discharges, serum potassium, and sodium concentration were collected.
Results: Patients with only inappropriate discharges were younger, significantly more often had chronic atrial fibrillation, a significantly higher number of discharges, and
ischaemic cardiomyopathy. Logistic regression analysis revealed that the occurrence of only inappropriate discharges was related to the number of discharges over three, the age of patients below 60 years, the serum sodium concentration between 135 mEq/L and 142 mEq/L, and the primary type of prevention of sudden cardiac death.
Conclusions:
1. Predictors of inappropriate discharges include: age, serum sodium concentration, and primary type of indications for cardioverter-defibrillator implantation.
2. Further research is necessary to determine the influence of disturbances in the sodium economy on the occurrence of appropriate and inappropriate interventions of implantable cardioverter-defibrillators.

Published: November 2020

Introduction: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with hypertension occupy a leading position in morbidity and mortality in the world. The question of studying a
single pathological way of their development, the search for diagnostic markers and therapeutic targets in this comorbid pathology remains relevant.
The aim of the study was to study cardiopulmonary parameters in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with concomitant hypertension, depending on the
level of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP).
Materials and methods: 99 patients with COPD GOLD 2 were examined, 54 of whom had concomitant hypertension II stage, in which the dependence of lipid metabolism,
spirometry and hemodynamic parameters, depending on the level of VIP in blood serum.
Results and conclusions: It was established that the smallest values of VIP and the greatest changes in cardiopulmonary parameters, lipid metabolism were found in the
cohort of persons with concomitant hypertension. There was a significant decrease in spirometry values and an increase in hemodynamic parameters, respectively, a decrease in VIP levels in patients with COPD in combination with hypertension, which may indicate its role in the formation of these pathologies due to a decrease in its protective function, both in relation to apoptosis of alveolar cells and in relation to progression atherosclerosis and high blood pressure. It was also noted that in patients with the lowest VIP serum levels, a more rapid formation of COPD was observed. The data obtained make it possible to consider VIP as a diagnostic marker and a potential therapeutic target for the comorbid pathology examined.

Published: November 2020

Introduction: Rotavirus infection is a leading place in the structure of acute intestinal infections in children. Rotavirus is excreted in 40–60 % of children hospitalized with
gastroenteritis all over the world. Every year, 2 million patients are hospitalized with a severe form of RVI, 25 million need medical help from a doctor and 111 million cases
are treated at home.
The aim: The purpose of our study was to optimize the treatment of rotavirus infection in children by using Bacillus clausii.
Materials and methods: There were 65 children with a rotavirus infection under supervision. The control group was consisted of 28 practically healthy children. The study of humoral immunity was carried out on the basis of determining the serum content of immunoglobulin G, immunoglobulin M, immunoglobulin A, and secretory immunoglobulin A in coprofiltrate. In the process of treatment, the children were divided into two groups: the first received standard treatment, the second group were added to standard treatment with a probiotic drug (Bacillus clausii).
Results: In children with RVI with modified treatment main symptoms were reduced compared with the children receiving standard treatment, (p <0.001). In patients with
rotavirus infection in the acute period of the disease, a decrease in the concentration of IgA (p < 0.001) and an increase in IgM (p < 0.001) in serum and a decrease in sIgA
(p < 0.001) in coprofiltrate was observed in comparison with children in control group. In the period of reconvalescence in children after the traditional treatment, it wasn`t
revealed normalization of the immunoglobulins. Patients receiving a probiotic drug in addition to traditional treatment it was revealed normalization of the parameters of
serum immunoglobulins A, M, G and sIgA in coprofiltrate.
Conclusions: So, the probiotic drug containing Bacillus clausii has a positive effect on the humoral immune system in children with rotavirus infection.

La “Paseología”: el paseo como ciencia para conocer y transformar el mundo
Authors: Apolonio Laura
Published: November 2020

Junto a Maderuelo, Nogué, Augé, de Certeau y Burckhardt, mostraremos cómo el paisaje es fruto de una construcción cultural y es un concepto abstracto. Al creciente proceso de abstracción del espacio corresponde la paulatina transformación de los lugares en no lugares. Frente a esta situación surge la necesidad de activar de nuevo una relación activa y directa con el espacio. El caminar, la más elemental “práctica del espacio”, es una potente herramienta para volver a vincularnos al lugar que habitamos. Lucius Burckhardt, inventor de la “Paseología”, nos enseña cómo el caminar nos hace recuperar nuestra innata capacidad de crear significados.

Accounting Information Quality and the Clustering of Stock Prices
Authors: Baig Ahmed , Blau Benjamin M. , Hao Jie
Published: November 2020

The foundation of economic theory is based on the premise that prices will converge to their equilibrium value. However, prior research has documented that stock prices cluster on round pricing increments. In this study, we develop and test the hypothesis that audit quality and the management of earnings—both of which affects the information environment of the firm—influence the degree of price clustering. Results show that firms with Big 4 auditors have less clustering in their stock prices while firms with higher abnormal audit fees, more discretionary accruals, and firms that tend to manipulate earnings have a higher degree of price clustering. These findings support our hypothesis and suggest that accounting information quality helps explain the price clustering anomaly and subsequently influences the efficiency of financial markets.
Evaluating Quality of Matrimonial Websites: Balancing Emotions with Economics
Authors: Sharma Dheeraj , Srivastava Praveen Ranjan , Pandey Peeyush , Kaur Inderjeet
Published: November 2020

There are a plethora of studies evaluating the quality of websites on functional and design-related aspects such as usability and visual parameters. The majority of these studies are related to e-commerce websites where individuals make decision largely relying on economic parameters. However, matrimonial websites are unique, as the decisions involve both economic and non-economic parameters. Therefore, this study aims to propose a framework to evaluate quality of matrimonial websites by incorporating contextual factors and examine differences among different groups of users. This study proffers a website evaluating framework considering non-economic and emotion based factors from the information systems (IS) success model and the search match interaction (SMI) framework. The study proposes a hybrid model of multi-criteria decision-making techniques—namely Fuzzy-AHP and ranking models such as evaluation based on distance from average solution (EDAS), technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS), and complex proportional assessment (COPRAS). The results indicate that the context-specific factors related to search and matchmaking options are the most preferred parameters for evaluation. Males and females have been found to differ in their preferences related to service quality and price. Next, the study compares the performance of three ranking models, namely EDAS, TOPSIS, and COPRAS. The first and second models provide similar results, while the rankings obtained through COPRAS differ slightly. The study contributes towards website evaluation literature by highlighting the importance of contextual factors while evaluating the matrimonial websites and the differences among preferences of the users.

Totalitarian Newspeak
Authors: Vodenicharov Petar
Published: November 2020

Using the method of the critical discourse analysis and the insights of George Orwell „1984“ the author aims at analysing the propaganda mechanisms (production distribution and perception) of the totalitarian press in the 1950-s. The socio-political context of the press and the new relations between orality and literacy because of the domination of the new elite (mainly of village origin and with low education) have been outlined. The text analysis discovers the duality of the themes, the centralized and passive sources of the texts, new genres and the new imagery explained by some psychoanalytical concepts. The structure of the newspeak changed considerably with logoside and intensive production of neologisms, especially abbreviations, abundance of euphemisms and doublethinks which aim at closing the thought in vicious circles.

Published: November 2020

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common life-threatening autosomal recessive disease. CF is caused by mutations in the CFTR gene that encodes an anionic channel, which is expressed in epithelial cells. The most common genetic variant is F508del, its allelic frequency in the Russian Federation 52.81% (2017). This variant belongs to class II, leads to incorrect folding of the CFTR protein and its premature degradation. Currently, the effectiveness of target therapy can be individually evaluated by forskolin-induced swelling (FIS) assay on intestinal organoids obtained from CF patients with different genotypes.

Fully Automated Measurement Setup for Photovoltaic Panel Performance Evaluation and Testing under LabVIEW Platform
Authors: Ali Mustafa Q. , Tapou Monaf S. , Dhahad Hayder A.
Published: November 2020

Photovoltaic (PV) devices are widely used renewable energy resources and have been increasingly manufactured by many firms and trademarks. This condition makes the selection of right product difficult and requires the development of a fast, accurate and easy setup that can be implemented to test available samples and select the cost effective, efficient, and reliable product for implementation. An automated test setup for PV panels using LabVIEW and several microcontroller-based embedded systems were designed, tested, and implemented. This PV testing system was fully automated, where the only human intervention required was the instalment of PV panel and set up of required testing conditions. The designed and implemented system was characterized by high performance standard with accuracy, precision, and resolution that is good enough to practically test any PV panel of the 12 V and 24 V ratings. In this paper, several simulations run and manually performed testing for PV panels were done to verify the automatically obtained results and those were found to be of good conformity (-3% difference with simulation results, 0.01% with manually taken results).

Authors: Abed Azher M. , Kareem Doaa Fadhil , Majdi Hasan Sh , Abdulkadhim Ammar
Published: November 2020

This paper investigates numerically and experimentally heat transfer forced convective two-phase flow (i.e. air and water) over a rectangular ribbed channel with a vertical orientation. Three distinct rib–groove shapes have been examined. Ribs - groove shapes are; Triangle, Trapezoid, and Semi-Trapezoid ribs-groove. The present study has been performed with continuous heat flux through range of water and air superficial inlet velocity values between 0.105 – 0.316m/s, and 0.263 – 1.320 m/s, respectively. Continuity, momentum and energy calculations have been formulated using the Finite Volume Approach (FVM). Results indicate that the triangle rib-groove has the high heat transfer coefficient and lower temperature difference than other cases against a different number of Reynolds. The experimental data has been compared to numerical results for ribs –grooved channel with deviation of about 1.0% - 7.5%. The channel fitted with triangle ribs shows the highest heat transfer, which is about 59% higher than the smooth channel; 56% for trapezoidal rib, and 44% for channel fitted by semi-trapezoidal rib. Finally, the triangle rib-groove gives a better heat transfer improvement value in comparison with trapezoidal and semi trapezoidal rib-groove channel at constant pumping power.

Authors: Ubaka Michael Chukwuemeka , Noka Maxwell , Usifoh Stella Folajole
Published: November 2020

Purpose of study: To determine job satisfaction, perception towards pharmacists, and preparedness to provide pharmaceutical care (PC) among intern pharmacists.

Methodology: A prospective survey of all intern pharmacists in South - Eastern Nigeria was done. A questionnaire with five sections measuring work characteristics, job satisfaction, perception towards pharmacists, and preparedness to provide PC was administered. Descriptive analysis and chi-square tests for differences in proportions were calculated.

Results: It took interns an average of 10 months to get an internship position after graduation. The interns were barely satisfied with their workplaces and conditions (2.83 of 4.0). They held moderately positive perceptions about pharmacist's clinical roles in the hospital (3.79 of 5.0) and felt marginally prepared to provide PC on graduation (3.38 of 5.0). The interns’ age, gender, future career aspirations influenced their perception of pharmacists’ clinical roles and preparedness to provide PC (p<0.05 for all).

Conclusion: It takes a very long time to get a place for an internship in Nigeria. Interns were marginally satisfied with their jobs, held favorable perceptions about the profession, and didn’t feel adequately prepared to provide PC in all items assessed.

DEFINITION OF A PYTHON SCRIPT FOR THE MICRO-SIMULATION OF THE TRUCK PLATOONING SYSTEM
Authors: Agriesti Serio , Ponti Marco , Studer Luca , Maja Roberto , Aleccia Ornella , Lohmiller Jochen , Gordillo Isaac Vargas
Published: November 2020

Truck platooning is, by now, one of the major topics in transport science and freight transport. The benefits arising from the system explain the growing interest of the involved stakeholders and the many field-tests planned in the next years. This run towards truck platooning saw an abrupt acceleration but there are risks that should be accounted for. Even though field-tests are fundamental for the implementation of a new transport system, they will hardly cover all the traffic scenarios that a platoon of trucks will face on the European network. Therefore, there is the need for many more studies based on traffic simulation and for tools enabling traffic simulation software to reproduce truck platooning. In this framework, the paper has two aims, the first one being to report and describe a Python script to reproduce truck platooning with a common commercial simulation software. The second one is to apply said script to analyse what is the best driving strategy for a platoon of truck to limit the hindrance on the surrounding traffic while approaching a critical highway segment such as the on-ramp one. At the end of the paper, a comparison between three different strategies (driving as usual, dissolution and headway adaptation) is carried out and commented.
Fast Radio Burst Trains from Magnetar Oscillations
Authors: Wadiasingh Zorawar , Chirenti Cecilia
Published: November 2020

Quasi-periodic oscillations inferred during rare magnetar giant flare tails were initially interpreted as torsional oscillations of the neutron star (NS) crust, and have been more recently described as global core+crust perturbations. Similar frequencies are also present in high-signal-to-noise magnetar short bursts. In magnetars, disturbances of the field are strongly coupled to the NS crust regardless of the triggering mechanism of short bursts. For low-altitude magnetospheric magnetar models of fast radio bursts (FRBs) associated with magnetar short bursts, such as the low-twist model, crustal oscillations may be associated with additional radio bursts in the encompassing short burst event (as recently suggested for SGR 1935+2154). Given the large extragalactic volume probed by wide-field radio transient facilities, this offers the prospect of studying NS crusts leveraging samples far more numerous than galactic high-energy magnetar bursts by studying statistics of subburst structure or clustered trains of FRBs. We explore the prospects for distinguishing NS equation of state models with increasingly larger future sets of FRB observations. Lower l-number eigenmodes (corresponding to FRB time intervals of ∼5–50 ms) are likely less susceptible than high-l modes to confusion by systematic effects associated with the NS crust physics, magnetic field, and damping. They may be more promising in their utility, and also may corroborate models where FRBs arise from mature magnetars. Future observational characterization of such signals can also determine whether they can be employed as cosmological “standard oscillators” to constrain redshift, or can be used to constrain the mass of FRB-producing magnetars when reliable redshifts are available.
New records of long-legged flies (Diptera, Dolichopodidae) from Wrangel Island Nature Reserve (Chukotka AD, Russia)
Authors: Grichanov Igor Ya. , Khruleva Olga A.
Published: November 2020

New original data on five Dolichopodidae species from the Wrangel Island resulted from the 2015–2019 surveys in the Wrangel Island State Nature Reserve are presented. As a result of this study, a new material of Dolichopodidae has been identified, being collected from the new localities in the Wrangel Island Nature Reserve, and a new species Rhaphium tripartitum has been found on the Island. The present research excludes R. nigrum from the Chukchi fauna and expands the Dolichopus terminasianae area westward to the Yamal Peninsula.
One side makes you taller: a mushroom–eating butterfly caterpillar (Lycaenidae) in Costa Rica
Authors: Nishida Kenji , Robbins Robert K.
Published: November 2020

Electrostrymon denariusis the first mushroom-feeding butterfly caterpillar discovered in the New World. It belongs to the Calycopidina, a subtribe of lycaenid butterflies whose caterpillars eat detritus and seeds in the leaf litter.Electrostrymon denariushas not been reared previously, and we illustrate and briefly describe the biology and morphology of its caterpillar and pupa. The significance of this discovery is that it increases the range of organic leaf litter substrates that Calycopidina caterpillars will eat. Increased diet breadth may decrease the likelihood of species extinction.
Redescription of Stenothyra glabra A. Adam, 1861 (Truncatelloidea, Stenothyridae), with the first complete mitochondrial genome in the family Stenothyridae
Authors: Qi Lu , Kong Lingfeng , Li Qi
Published: November 2020

In this study, Stenothyra glabra belonging to the truncatelloid family Stenothyridae is redescribed using morphological characters from the shell, operculum, and radula. The species is distinguished from other species in the group by its shell without spotted spiral lines and by its dome-shaped, mostly smooth, protoconch with some pits. Together with the morphological description, the complete mitogenome for the species is provided, which fill a knowledge gap in Stenothyridae. The mitogenome of S. glabra is 15,830 bp in length and has a circular structure. It contains 37 genes: 22 transfer RNA genes (tRNAs), two ribosomal RNA genes (rRNAs), and 13 protein-encoding genes (PCGs). The overall A+T content of the mitogenome is 68.9%. Molecular phylogenetic analysis and COI sequence divergence separate S. glabra from its congeners and show that S. glabra and S. cf. divalis form a sister clade.

À la recherche du politique dans les villes
Authors: Le Galès Patrick
Published: November 2020

Cet article est une contribution à la compréhension du politique dans les sociétés contemporaines plus ou moins mondialisées envisagé à partir des villes et non de l'État, en faisant l'hypothèse que les processus d'urbanisation et de mondialisation contemporains ouvrent des possibilités de différenciation du politique et des régulations politiques à l'échelle soit transnationale soit infranationale. Cette urbanisation planétaire remet en cause à l'inverse le politique identifié à un lieu et amène à un renouvellement des questions d'inégalités, de justice, de démocratie, de citoyenneté. De manière différenciée de l'État, l'accumulation d'investissements matériels dans les villes en fait des concentrations originales de technologies qui peuvent s'analyser avec la sociologie de sciences comme des assemblages des systèmes socio-techniques où le politique se comprend en termes pragmatiques d'interactions quotidiennes.

A compreensão dos povos indígenas da América portuguesa por Alexandre Rodrigues Ferreira durante a Viagem Filosófica (1783-1792): A apropriação de uma tradução francesa de The History of America (1777), de William Robertson
Authors: Leal Ferreira Breno Ferraz
Published: November 2020

Este artículo trata de la forma en que el naturalista Alexandre Rodrigues Ferreira utilizó la edición francesa de La Historia de América (1777), del historiador William Robertson, para comprender a los pueblos indígenas de la América portuguesa durante el Viaje filosófico (1783-1792). Procedemos comparando la edición francesa con dos de sus escritos, Participación General de Río Negro (1787) y Observaciones Generales y Particulares sobre la Clase de los Mamais (1790), destacando los usos y apropiaciones textuales que hizo el naturalista. Argumentamos que la comprensión de los pueblos indígenas de las regiones que visitó se basó en la identificación de su «modo de subsistencia» y la existencia de un «carácter general» amerindio, conceptos incorporados de su lectura de Robertson.

Counseling personnel, counseling de carrière et psychothérapie
Authors: Lecomte Conrad , Guillon Vincent
Published: November 2020

Une évolution sensible se fait jour dans les rapports qu’entretiennent counseling personnel, counseling de carrière et psychothérapie. Cette évolution est particulièrement marquée dans le contexte nord-américain. S’agissant des processus fondamentaux de changement qui sont à l’œuvre dans ces différentes approches de la relation d’aide, elle met en évidence l’importance de leurs facteurs communs. Elle conduit à proposer un cadre conceptuel intégrant les facteurs qui leur sont spécifiques et ces facteurs communs. Ce qui émerge, en effet, c’est le caractère éminemment personnel de toute problématique d’orientation, c’est l’indissociable inscription du travail dans l’expérience subjective et intersubjective, c’est l’intrication profonde de deux facettes fondamentales de la condition humaine, aimer et travailler. L’histoire de ces rapprochements est rapportée aux conditions de naissance et de développement du counseling de carrière, de la psychothérapie, et du counseling personnel qui ont conduit, si longtemps et actuellement encore, à essayer de les distinguer radicalement, en vain. Elle est l’occasion d’examiner en quoi le contexte d’un pays comme la France peut rendre difficile la perception de tels changements, alors même qu’ils se produisent déjà.
Magnetic Sensors for Space Applications and Magnetic Cleanliness Considerations
Authors: Baklezos Anargyros T. , Hadjigeorgiou Neoclis G.
Published: November 2020

This chapter is composed by three parts. The first is an introductory part, providing general information about magnetism and related phenomena. Magnetic materials are also discussed and presented. Afterwards, the magnetic field and various measurement techniques are discussed. In the second part, different magnetic sensors used in a laboratory or space are presented. Magnetic sensors that are discussed include anisotropic magneto-resistance (AMR), giant magneto-resistance (GMR), giant magneto-impedance (GMI), flux-gate, and superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID). Although some of them may be outdated and well known, they are widespread, and they still pose an excellent choice for certain applications. Advances in magnetometers also presented in order to provide the reader with the recent trends in the field. Magnetic cleanliness is an important factor both in calibration and in normal operation of a system; in the third part, current techniques to isolate a system from the external magnetic field providing cleanliness are discussed.
