The problem of discrimination in transactional data set has been well studied. Numerous techniques has been recommended by various researchers but suffer to achieve higher performance. To handle this issue, a real time feature convergence measure based discrimination prevention algorithm is presented in this paper. The method first eliminates the noisy records by preprocessing the transactional data set. Second, the transactional data set has been grouped into number of clusters according to the pattern relevancy measure (PRM). Using the clusters generated, the the feature convergence measure (FCM) is computed for each item towards each cluster. The value of FCM is used to select a subset of items as sensitive one. Based on identified sensitive items, the method performs sanitization using probabilistic mapping scheme. The FCM algorithm supports the performance development of sanitization and discrimination prevention.
A Critical Interpretation of Black Humor in Charles Wright's the Messenger and the Wig
Authors:   Department of Humanities, Veer Surendra Sai University of Technology, Burla, Orissa, India., Padhi* Dr. Prasanta Kumar
Published: December 2019

Charles Wright is one of the experimental American novelists of the mid-sixties and is concerned with depicting the absurdity of life in a world that threatens to destroy man’s sovereign self. As a black humourist, he not only highlights the black man’s despair in the white dominated America, but also the general condition of man in a hostile universe. He has placed his characters in the most bizarre setting to bring out man’s utter helplessness in the world. He tries to show how man becomes an easy victim of both the cosmic and social forces in the present day world. But despite his treatment of the bleak universe of human beings, Wright’s vision of life is not dominated by cynicism and despair. In this paper an attempt has been made to show how by incorporating into his fiction the vision of black humour Wright presents a constructive vision of life by not choosing an alternative to the meaningless and purposeless life, but by complementing it with a spirit of laughter which should help man in confronting life with courage and fortitude. His treatment of black man as a paradigm of the precarious human condition divorces him from other black novelists of the protest tradition. Whereas the writers of the protest tradition are occupied with the specific nature of black man’s problems, Wright is concerned with the idea that the black man, by his special burden in history, becomes the ultimate metaphor of the general human condition.

The article deals with analyzing the efficiency of using task-based learning in language learning process and issues on implementing it in practice effectively. As part of a communicative approach to teaching foreign language, the term task appears from the beginning of the 1980s, but has not received a single interpretation among foreign methodologists and continues to be at the center of discussions. Many researchers understand the term (task) in a broader sense - as a unit of teaching or learning (a unit of teaching / learning), this allows us to correlate it with the terms "exercise" and "task" in their wide sense. Task is a communicative exercise or task characterized by predominant attention to the content, and not to the linguistic form, correlation with the conditions of real communication and focus on achieving a specific result. The term task was assigned a specific meaning, different from the broad interpretation of the “exercise” in the domestic methodology, with the advent of training programs that were developed on the basis of communicative tasks. Task is a communicative exercise or task characterized by predominant attention to the content, and not to the linguistic form, correlation with the conditions of real communication and focus on achieving a specific result.

the article analyses notion of lexical skills and process related to their effective usage. The lexical skill is an automated action for the choice of a lexical unit adequate to the plan and its correct combination with other units in productive speech and automated perception and association with meaning in receptive speech Lexical skills are divided into receptive (in listening and reading) and productive (in speaking and writing). Productive lexical skills are understood as the skills of intuitively correct word usage and word formation in oral and written speech in accordance with situations and goals of communication. By receptive lexical skills are meant the skills of recognition and understanding when perceived by ear or when reading lexical phenomena. Thus, the lexical speech skill includes two main components: word usage and word formation (to correlate the visual / sound image of a word with semantics, to differentiate words that are similar in sound and spelling, to reveal the meaning of words using context, to recognize and understand the learned words and phrases in speech/ graphic text. In order to form lexical skills, the teacher needs to clearly understand the stages of work on lexical material. The process of introducing vocabulary begins with the presentation of the lexical unit and its explanation.

A Insuficiência Renal Crônica (IRC) é uma doença relevante na saúde pública devido sua prevalência ascendente. Ela minimiza a atividade renal, tornando os portadores dependentes de terapias de substituição (diálise), a qual simula a atividade renal para manter a homeostase hidroeletrolítica. Apesar de fundamental para a sobrevida dos portadores, ela ocasiona alterações nutricionais que devem ser monitoradas por interfirir no prognóstico e morbimortalidade. O objetivo do trabalho foi avaliar os parâmetros bioquímicos-físicos dos pacientes-dialíticos em tratamento inicial e identificar as mudanças após 3 e 6 meses associando-os a efetividade terapêutica. Trata-se de uma análise longitudinal-descritiva, tendo como base bioquímica a albumina, ferritina, hematócrito e potássio. Para base antropométrica foi feita a média das aferições da prega cutânea tricipital (PCT) e adequação ao percentil 50. Dos 22 pacientes 68,18% são homens, a idade predominante esteve entre 60-69 anos e a doença base, a hipertensão. Com base na PCT, os pacientes estiveram em déficit grave de gordura subcutânea, enquanto que a albumina obteve melhoras gradativas, atingindo a normalidade. O hematócrito reduzido associado à ferritina aumentada, confirmou anemia inflamatória, frequente nos pacientes renais crônicos. Pacientes hipercalêmicos melhoraram gradativamente. Conclui-se, que há uma real importância do fator nutricional sobre a efetividade da terapia hemodialítica.

Linfoma não Hodgkin caracteriza-se como uma doença clonal originada do tecido linfoide (ou linfático) que eventualmente faz infiltração da medula óssea e outros tecidos.  O tecido linfoide é o local que abriga as células imunológicas responsáveis pela resposta imune e é encontrado em maior quantidade nos linfonodos. Por ser ligada a linfócitos possui grande variação na apresentação clínica, biológica e histológica. O linfoma está entre os tipos de câncer mais comuns da infância. A doença possui um pico de incidência bimodal, na infância/adolescência e em adulto-idosos, sendo sua frequência aumentada em progressão geométrica com a idade. Além disso, ela possui uma ligeira preferência pelo sexo masculino e pela raça branca. A maioria dos casos não tem etiologia definida, porém cogita-se que fatores ambientais, genéticos e dietéticos possam estar envolvidos. O quadro clínico varia conforme a classificação, sendo que dois terços dos pacientes com a neoplasia apresentam como manifestação inicial linfonodomegalia periférica não dolorosa. Em relação ao prognóstico, há dependência do tipo histológico, da localização e da biologia do tumor, além do estágio que a doença se encontra ao diagnóstico.

Countering gender discrimination is reflected in current international professional standards and in international academic discourse. The purpose of this research is to look at approaches to integrating gender priorities into social work practices and to outline possible ways to develop gender training for social workers. Purpose and components of gender approaches (gender integration, gender mainstreaming) are outlined. The continuum of gender approaches by R. Gupta (stereotypical, neutral, sensitive, transformative and empowerment approaches) is considered. Key principles for working with women within the feminist social work perspective (according to L. Dominelli), are identified. It is stressed that social workers should treat women as active agents of change, capable of making decisions independently in all aspects of their lives. The ideas regarding the peculiarities of women’s socialization in social work practice (J. Norman and B. Wheeler), as well as the concept of social work as a "women's profession" are characterized. The content of training of social workers is analyzed, the reasons for slowing down the implementation of gender sensitive educational strategies in Ukraine are determined. It has been pointed out that gender training of social workers should be oriented towards teaching future and current social work professionals to diagnose how gender determines the balance of power in relations between women and men, and leads to social oppression and discrimination.

In today's conditions of country's development, the economic security of the regions serves as a guarantor of the independence of the territory and an indicator of its economic growth. Economic security acts as one of the components of national security and it is impossible to carry out effectively tasks for its maintenance without understanding of its essence. At the same time, the country's economic security is determined by the level of economic security of regional systems, the justified management of which requires an objective assessment of the state and development trends based on indicators of economic security. The purpose of the research is to generalize theoretical and analytical as well as methodological foundations for determining the level of the region economic security, the integral assessment technology formation and clustering of the regions of Ukraine according to the components of economic security. There were used the system approach, logical-comparative analysis, generalization method of information, methods of taxonomy and multivariate analysis during economic security research of the regions. Monographs of scientists from the mentioned issues, materials of periodicals, statistical information of the sites of the State Statistics Service of Ukraine, Main regional statistics officesismethodological and informational basis of the research. The research presents the results of calculating the integral indicators of economic security of Ukrainianregions for 64 indicators during 2015-2017. In terms of economic security there were applied cluster and discriminant analyses for the allocation of homogeneous groups of regions. In order to identify the factors having a negative impact on state of the general level of economic security of the regions, a correlation-regression model was built for each cluster. The results of the analysis demonstrate a low level of economic security of the regions of Ukraine. An integrated assessment of the economic security level of the regions made it possible to carry out a comparative analysis that identified the most volatile (weak, vulnerable) regions and showed according to which components of economic security should make the priority management impacts. In order to develop priority tactical and strategic measures to stabilize and increase the level of economic security of the regions their clusterization and analysis of cluster migration of the regions was carried out was. As a result of the use of multifactor econometric modeling, the weights of the impact of a specific structural component of economic security on its overall level for invariant regions are determined, and in accordance with this, a set of management recommendations for improving the economic security of the country's regions is formed.
