GLDM: Geo-location prediction of twitter users with deep learning methods1
Authors: Al-Jamaan Rawabe , Ykhlef Mourad , Alothaim Abdulrahman
Published: May 2023

Social networks like Twitter are extremely popular and widely used, which has increased interest in studying the information posted there. One such analytical application is extracting location information of users for real-time monitoring of the objects and events of interest, such as political and social events, disease surveillance, natural calamities, and crime prevention. Identifying geographic location is a nontrivial task, as user profiles contain outdated and inaccurate location information. Furthermore, extracting geographical information from Arabic tweets is challenging since they contain many nonstandard data (dialects), complex structures, abbreviations, grammatical and spelling mistakes, etc. This study focuses on the localization of Saudi Arabian users who tweet in Arabic. This study proposes a convolutional neural network-based deep learning model to predict a Twitter user’s region-level location using user profiles, text texts, place attachments, and historical tweets. The model was evaluated empirically on a dataset of 95,739 tweets written in Arabic and produced by 4,331 users from Saudi Arabia cities. Regarding classification accuracy, the proposed CNN model outperformed machine learning classifiers such as NB, LR, and SVM with a 60% accuracy on the test set. This study is the first of its kind, aimed at localizing Saudi users based on their tweets.

Improving data processing in big data is a delicate procedure in our current digital era due to the massive amounts of data created by humans and machines in daily life. Handling this data, creating a repository for storage, and retrieving photos from internet platforms is a difficult issue for businesses and industries. Currently, clusters have been constructed for many types of data, such as text, documents, audio, and video files, but the extraction time and accuracy during data processing remain stressful. Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) is a system that provides a large storage area in big data for managing large datasets, although the accuracy level is not as high as desired. Furthermore, query optimization was used to produce low latency and high throughput outcomes. To address these concerns, this study proposes a novel technique for query optimization termed the Enhanced Salp Swarm Algorithm (ESSA) in conjunction with the Modified K-Means Algorithm (MKM) for cluster construction. The process is separated into two stages: data collection and organization, followed by data extraction from the repository. Finally, numerous experiments with assessments were carried out, and the outcomes were compared. This strategy provides a more efficient method for enhancing data processing speed in a big data environment while maintaining an accuracy level of 98% while processing large amounts of data.

Authors: Castillo Jonathan , Thibadeau Judy K. , Brei Tim , Castillo Heidi
Published: May 2023

As with the wide range in spina bifida (SB) incidence rates across nations, there is also wide variance in topics encountered by clinicians today. Both the wide variance in SB incidence rates and the wide diversity of topics to be addressed provide the backdrop for any dialogue among professionals serving this population. On the international stage, the World Congress on Spina Bifida Research and Care has been the only conference dedicated solely to research, practical challenges, and real-life solutions for those living with SB, their families, and caregivers. As a conference with a clear sense of the growing global village, the 2023 congress showcased innovative research from junior to preeminent investigators. Topical areas included urology, neurosurgery, global health, prenatal surgery, and transition to adult care amid others. Ultimately, through the dissemination of a compendium of conference abstracts, we hope that professionals will be aided and inspired to continue to improve the education, advocacy, and care among the many communities of individuals affected by SB globally.
An ontology for maintenance activities and its application to data quality
Authors: Woods Caitlin , Selway Matt , Bikaun Tyler , Stumptner Markus , Hodkiewicz Melinda
Published: May 2023

Maintenance of assets is a multi-million dollar cost each year for asset intensive organisations in the defence, manufacturing, resource and infrastructure sectors. These costs are tracked though maintenance work order (MWO) records. MWO records contain structured data for dates, costs, and asset identification and unstructured text describing the work required, for example ‘replace leaking pump’. Our focus in this paper is on data quality for maintenance activity terms in MWO records (e.g. replace, repair, adjust and inspect). We present two contributions in this paper. First, we propose a reference ontology for maintenance activity terms. We use natural language processing to identify seven core maintenance activity terms and their synonyms from 800,000 MWOs. We provide elucidations for these seven terms. Second, we demonstrate use of the reference ontology in an application-level ontology using an industrial use case. The end-to-end NLP-ontology pipeline identifies data quality issues with 55% of the MWO records for a centrifugal pump over 8 years. For the 33% of records where a verb was not provided in the unstructured text, the ontology can infer a relevant activity class. The selection of the maintenance activity terms is informed by the ISO 14224 and ISO 15926-4 standards and conforms to ISO/IEC 21838-2 Basic Formal Ontology (BFO). The reference and application ontologies presented here provide an example for how industrial organisations can augment their maintenance work management processes with ontological workflows to improve data quality.
Stellenwert der Benzodiazepine in der Notfallmedizin
Authors: Ramming Michael , Kalbhenn Johannes
Published: May 2023

Zusammenfassung Benzodiazepine sind fester Bestandteil der (präklinischen) notfallmedizinischen Behandlung und werden häufig und in unterschiedlichen Situationen eingesetzt [59]. Selbst bei scheinbar „selbstverständlichen“ Anwendungsgebieten wie dem Krampfanfall sind Benzodiazepine zwar weit verbreitet und auch in Leitlinien empfohlen, aber keineswegs immer durch gute medizinische Evidenz begründet [18]. Andererseits gibt es – basierend auf der Erfahrung mit intensivmedizinischen, psychiatrischen und geriatrischen Patientengruppen – zunehmend Hinweise auf ein ungünstiges Nutzen- und Nebenwirkungsprofil dieser Substanzgruppe [53]. Da ein erheblicher Anteil von Notfallpatienten – zumindest im weiteren Verlauf – diesen Patientengruppen zugeordnet werden kann, ergeben sich zwangsläufig Implikationen dieser Erkenntnisse auch für die (präklinische) Notfallmedizin. Dieser Artikel beleuchtet und hinterfragt die derzeitige Praxis auf dem Boden der vorhandenen Literatur und soll eine konstruktive und sachbezogene Diskussion dieses Themas anstoßen. Schlüsselwörter Notfallmedizin; Benzodiazepine; Nebenwirkung; Intensivmedizin; Arzneimittelsicherheit

This paper examines the prevalence of gambling for gain among university students and to gain a theory-based understanding and knowledge of the influence factors of this gambling behaviour based on the University Student Psychosocial Problems Development Theory (USPPDT). Relatively little is known about the factors associated with students’ gambling for financial gain encompassing a student’s biosocial/cultural and psycho characteristics informed by a theory. Participants were recruited from two public and three private universities in Uganda. A total of 1101 randomly selected students participated in the study and 976 (88.6%) completed the survey instruments. The self-reported current prevalence of gambling participation was 281 (28.8%) among university students (≥ 19 years). In agreement with the theory and findings from the study, student demographic characteristics, study program characteristics, student-related health burden characteristics, psychosocial functioning, and antisocial behaviour items were particularly predictive of students’ participation in gambling for financial gain. These risk factors for gambling are not presumed as causation, identifying them points to important implications in terms of prevention and intervention on student gambling behaviour. This points to a considered interplay of different players in designing transversal strategies for a student at risk for gambling.

Los capítulos de este libro abordan distintos aspectos de la «cultura digital» entendida como un entorno que actúa sobre nuestra forma de estar juntos, nuestros vínculos sociales y nuestras sociabilidades —en suma, nuestra forma de vivir. La mediación de las interacciones, la difusión de contenido digital, las formas de violencia en línea, la apropiación de la escritura, la organización política en las redes sociales, la transmisión y socialización son algunos de los temas abordados en estas páginas. Y es que las Nuevas Tecnologías y las redes sociodigitales son portadoras de una revolución «mediológica» y «epistémica». Mediológica, porque la materialidad de la cultura se transforma, se refunde en el crisol técnico de la digitalización. Textos, imágenes, videos y sonidos se convierten en binary units. Comúnmente hablamos de «multimedia», pero de hecho deberíamos hablar de «uni-media», ¡ya que la tecnología es única! Y permite, en soportes diferenciados, recibir contenidos culturales previamente separados por una valla mediática hermética. Pero la revolución también es epistémica, porque las TIC nos hacen pensar y sentir diferente, «consumir» y producir cultura diferente, «estar con», hacer sociedad diferente. Contribuir a la reflexión sobre las dinámicas y desafíos de nuestras sociedades digitales desde las Ciencias Sociales ha sido el objetivo de este trabajo colectivo.

Published: May 2023

The lack of an established approach to methodological research in information security determines the further development of scientific knowledge and changes in paradigms and becomes especially relevant considering the aggression of the Russian Federation and the need to strengthen the information security of Ukraine. The purpose of this study was to identify the principles of information security research methodology. To fulfil this purpose, general philosophical methods of investigating legal phenomena were applied, namely the analysis of corresponding legislation and theoretical solutions. This paper, considering the latest theory of state and law and information law of Ukraine, considering the current legislation and regulatory requirements of the European Union, outlined abstract and logical aspects of the methodological foundations of information security research in the context of digital transformation and Russian information expansion. It was noted that addressing the topic of interdisciplinary research is closely related to a fundamentally new historical situation, which reveals the construction of information relations of a new type between social groups, covering philosophy, political science, sociology, economics, and law. This study considered the activity-based, system-structural, system-functional, informational, integration, predictive, methodological, and paradigmatic scientific approaches to the study of legal phenomena. It was indicated that information security is of particular importance for the design of innovative social systems in the context of digital transformation, which requires further scientific research on the methodology of scientific intelligence in information security. The study was aimed at improving the research methods of information security and protection of individuals, society, and the state from destructive informational influence covered by the object of information security.

Evolution of the Right to Life : Consequences of this Evolution on Human Rights and Freedoms
Authors: Pellet Philippe
Published: May 2023

After the horrors of the Second World War, European countries established a new political and legal framework with the aim of protecting individuals against the excesses of the State and preventing such horrors from happening again. This new order was launched by the Council of Europe, founded in 1949 with the aim of promoting human rights and democracy throughout Europe. The Council’s first task was to draft the European Convention on Human Rights, adopted on 4 November 1950, inspired by the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights. This undertaking aimed at reinforcing human rights by making them binding in order to avoid the violation of the fundamental rights and freedoms by the States. But a shift occurred in the early 1970s with the legalisation of abortion which was the starting point of an evolution of the conception of the first of the human rights – the right to life –, and of the human person. One by one, this process led to the creation of new rights. The analysis of this evolution through the example of France, “the Country of Human Rights”, allows to highlight the mechanisms which, in this country, led to the redefinition of rights and fundamental freedoms under the aegis of the European Court of Human Rights, the reference in the matter in Europe.
The EU’s attitude towards the ECHR’s system in light of the EU’s climate ambition
Authors: Köböl-Benda Vivien
Published: May 2023

Despite several attempts to access the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), the EU is still not a Party to the Convention. However, this does not mean there is no interaction between the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) and the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU). This article will analyse this interaction in cases related to environmental issues, primarily from the EU’s perspective. This objective includes the examination of the Bosphorus Hava Yolları Turizm ve Ticaret Anonim Şirketi v. Ireland case where the so-called ‘Bosphorus criteria’ was declared according to which the EU law should provide the same level of protection of human rights as the ECHR in environmental protection. Furthermore, the article considers the EU’s ambitious climate goals and commitment to the Paris Agreement, the Carvalho and Others v. European Union case and the third-party intervention of the European Commission in the Duarte Agostinho and Others v. Portugal and Others case before the ECtHR.
The Concept of Vengeance in the Book of Revelation in its Old Testament and Near Eastern Context
Authors:   , Musvosvi Joel ,   Andrews University
Published: May 2023

This study attempts to resolve the theological and ethical problems raised by the call for and rejoicing at vengeance as they appear in Rev 6:9-11 and Rev 19:2, respectively. Central to the study is the question of whether vengeance in Revelation expresses a vindictive human attitude or a divine attribute of justice. In Chapter 1 a review of pertinent literature reveals the lack of agreement among scholars on the interpretation of vengeance in Revelation. Chapter 2 examines the concept of vengeance as it occurs in several Ancient Near Eastern vassal treaties, the Old Testament, and Pseudepigrapha. This examination reveals that vengeance, in both biblical and extra-biblical documents occurs in the context of covenant or treaty relationships. The evidence suggests that vengeance is not a human action of self-help; rather it is the prerogative of the highest authority in protecting loyal subjects. Inasmuch as the survey of Ancient Near Eastern and Old Testament backgrounds revealed suffering to be the context in which calls for vengeance occur, there was need to examine evidences for persecution in the Apostolic era. Chapter 3 reviews these evidences in the New Testament and especially in Revelation. Chapter 4 examines Rev 6:9-10 and 19:1-2, wherein the call for and response to vengeance occur in juridical contexts. In view of the unfair human verdicts against his saints, God must "retry'' the case between them and the persecutor, so that the innocence of the saints and the guilt of the persecutor can be declared. The trial— a covenant lawsuit— involves an open review of the records of both defendant and plaintiff; and in line with the law of malicious witness, God reverses Babylon's judgments. Thus, vengeance is demonstrated to be a divine attribute of justice. The scenes of rejoicing in Rev 18 and 19 recall the Exodus-from-Egypt/Fall-of-Babylon motif and have parallels in some Ancient Near Eastern vassal treaties. The rejoicing is theocentric, and focuses on God's redemptive purpose. Vengeance means deliverance and the restoration of the kingdom to the saints.
The Relationship of Hemispheric Performance and Reading Achievement for Black and Caucasian Fourth- and Fifth- Grade Students
Authors:   , Byoune Helen ,   Andrews University
Published: May 2023

Problem. The relationship between race and hemispheric performance and the resultant effects of this relationship on learning pose a problem for educators. This study sought to determine whether Black students have a style of cerebral processing different from Caucasian students and whether this cognitive style leads to under achievement in certain subject areas. Method. The Cognitive Laterality Battery (CLB) was used to measure hemisphericity for 111 fourth- and fifth-grade students categorized into four groups: Blacks, Caucasians, males and females. Ninety-seven of these students comprised the population for this study. The results from the CLB were then used to determine whether there was a significant relationship between hemispheric performance and achievement in reading as measured by the Iowa Test of Basic Skills (ITBS). Four groups of null hypotheses were tested using Chi-square analysis and three-way Analysis of Variance. Findings. (1) There were no statistically significant differences in the proportion of students (Blacks/Caucasian, males/females) with a right (visuospatial) or left (verbo-sequential) mode of hemispheric processing. (2) There were no statistically significant main effects forrace, sex, and hemisphericity for achievement on the vocabulary or comprehension subtests for fourth and fifth graders. (3) There were no significant relationships between hemisphericity and achievement levels on either the vocabulary or comprehension subtest of the ITBS for fourth- and fifth-grade males and females. However, when the Pearson Product-Moment Correlation was applied to the individual CLB subtests and the ITBS subtests, several statistically significant correlations were observed for all four groups. Conclusions. Neither race, sex, nor laterality seems to be a significant factor in reading achievement. Regardless of hemispheric performance, as measured by the Cognitive Laterality Battery, achievement on the vocabulary and comprehension subtest of the ITBS was not significantly affected. The nonsignificant results may be due to small sample size. On the individual subtests of the CLB, there were significant relationships between several of the individual subtests and reading comprehension for fourth graders, and between hemisphericity and comprehension for fifth-grade females. It was concluded that these relationships may have practical significance for classroom teachers in planning and implementing curriculum strategies for improved instruction in reading vocabulary and comprehension.
Identification of Key Strategies for School Effectiveness and How They Are Implemented, as Perceived by Administrators and Teachers In Selected Exemplary Private Secondary Schools
Authors:   , Eager Hedley ,   Andrews University
Published: May 2023

Problem. Educators in the 1970s and early 1980s identified characteristics of effective schools. But researchers had not addressed the problem of identifying what strategies exemplary schools used to make the characteristics effective, nor how the strategies were implemented. Method. Administrators and teachers in selected exemplary private secondary schools responded to the Quality Schools Index for Private Schools (QSIPS). Key strategies for school effectiveness were ranked on the basis of mean weighted scores for: (a) extent of use of the strategies within the school; and (b) their importance to quality schooling. Selected personnel were interviewed in six schools to determine how strategies were implemented. Results. The 12 top ranking strategies for school effectiveness were: faculty (1) showing they care about the students as people; (2) being proud of school and student successes; (3) providing an all-round quality program for student benefit; (4) believing "We are an effective school", (5) showing personal interest in each student; (6) taking time to listen to students; (7) providing a curriculum that meets the school's purpose; (8) addressing the needs of the whole child; (9) developing a total school program students are proud of; (10) setting a positive example for students; (11) communicating regularly to parents about their students' progress; and (12) making clear to students how they are expected to behave. The major findings on how schools implemented key high use/high importance strategies were: the schools selected willing trainable staff; provided continuous professional improvement; provided care and respect in positive relationships and example; communicated openly and freely with each other; were consistent; constantly evaluated programs against student needs and the school's philosophy; treated each student individually; listened, talked with, and gave students positive recognition; corrected them with positive redirection, time out, and interactive guidance as needed; and kept the environment attractive. Conclusions. School effectiveness was achieved as faculty showed consistency in loving, personal care toward students, high academic professionalism, and cooperation in extracurricular activities with positive, open, two-way communication.

Published: May 2023

In a pluralistic society alternative models for delivery of mental health services are needed to enhance theeffectiveness of professional therapy, to provide appropriate care for persons from various subcultures, and to increase job satisfaction and reduce the level of stress for therapists. This study proposes an alternative modelbased on the concept of a healing community. Five alternative mental health programs qualifying as healing communities were observed to identify thetherapeutic dynamics in such settings. Communities observed were a self-contained village with mentally handicapped and normal adults, a church that functions as a community, a juvenile center, a self-help group, and a private day school for troubled children. The communities were studied through qualitative, phenomenological methodology utilizing participant-observer techniques. Since there was no way to know what would be found in these communities prior to spending time in them, existing bodies of theory could be tied to the study only after the findings were completed. In the healing communities observed, the major therapeutic dynamic was found to be warm, close, accepting interpersonal relationships in an egalitarian context in which healing interactions took place in social, peer-oriented as well as in formal counseling. The resultant model integrated professional therapy with a support system and educational program. Thesupport system provides, for clients, practical assistance, peer counseling, and opportunities to growth through serving others. It also includes features to reduce stress and burnout for counselors. The findings of this study were related to theories in social psychology, community psychology, and personality theory, particularly to the dynamic of love.

Problem. The phrase "because Christ also suffered for you" in 1 Peter 2:21b has been interpreted to suggest the vicarious death of Christ. The problem posed by this understanding results from the comparison made between Christ and the slaves who are invited to follow Christ's example. Therefore this study sought to determine the function of Christ's suffering in 1 Peter 2:21b and the nature of the example left to the slaves. Method. The Greek grammar and literary style of the pericope were analyzed; documents that discussed the slave-master relationship in the first centuries B.C. and A.D. were studied; and books, articles, and dissertations on the pericope and the subject of Christ's suffering were examined. Conclusions were reached from this historical, linguists, and theological investigation. Results. The research indicated that the comparison, just as Christ so also the slave, refers to "doing good," a Greek term meaning "to bring a benefit to someone." Of the five options available to slaves who suffered unjustly in the First Century, enduring unjust punishment rather than running away from it was the only Christian alternative. Thus to submit was a reference to maintain impeccable civic behavior by remaining with cruel master. Such submission is nevertheless doing good and benefits not the masters but the believing community in two ways: (1) The charges of slander and sedition against the church would be reduced and (2) the cohesiveness and solidarity within the church would be maintained. Therefore Christ's suffering (for you) in vs. 21b does not refer to Christ's death but instead promises God's blessing on and acceptance of the one who suffers unjustly and endures for others. Christ's suffering unjustly is the ultimate example to illustrate the concept of suffering for the benefit of others. Conclusion. The "call" to the slaves was to "doing good" even if the doing good resulted in unjust suffering. Therefore, there is no basis in 1 Peter 2:21b for the conclusion that the ideal behavior expected of the followers of Christ was martyrdom.

Problem No known study had examined the correlation between the Jungian psychological types and spiritual gifts. The purpose of this study was to investigate the possible correlation between the Jungian psychological types and a selection of 19 spiritual gifts of the New Testament. Method This study employed two instruments to measure the psychological types and 19 spiritual gifts: The Myers-Briggs type Indicator and The Spiritual Gifts Inventory. The data which were computed and analyzed to test 38 null hypotheses were provided by a total of 430 undergraduate, graduate, and seminary students from Andrews University, Berrien Springs, Michigan, and church members from the Beaverton Seventh-day Adventist Church, Oregon. Findings 1. The older the person, the more likely he will manifest the gifts of evangelism, faith, giving, hospitality, intercession, knowledge, prophecy and teaching. 2. The extraverted-sensing-feeling-judgment (ESFJ) type is more common among those with the gifts of prophecy, pastoring, hospitality, and exhortation. 3. Specifically for males: a. The extraverted-intuitive (EN) type is more common among those with gifts of hospitality, administration, mercy, and apostleship. b. The extraverted-intuitive-thinking-judgment (ENTJ) type is more common among those having gifts of administration, apostleship, and teaching. c. The extraverted-thinking (ET) type is more common among those having the gift of evangelism. d. The extraverted-feeling0judgment (EFJ) type is more common among those having the gift of pastoring. e. The introverted-sensing (IS) type is more common among those with gifts of helps and intercession. f. The intuitive-judgment (NJ) type is more common with the gift of knowledge. g. The thinking-perceptive (TP) type is more common among those having the gift of wisdom. 4. Specifically for females: The extraverted type is more common among those having gifts of exhortation, administration, and faith. Conclusions This study validates that psychological types are relevant predictors for 16 of the 19 spiritual gifts. It infers that gifts of intercession and helps are more practical for one-to-one ministeries. It appears that the higher the self-perception of spiritual maturity, the higher is the perception of spiritual giftedness. Finally, it suggests that only the gift of faith is more common among women, but gifts of administration, apostleship, evangelism, knowledge, patoring, and teaching are more common to men.

The Haitian baccalaureat is a difficult centralized state examination. Every year the percentage of students who pass this examination varies from 20 to 30 percent. There was a need for systematic research of the predominant factors which determine success in the Haitian baccalaureat. The purpose of this study was to determine whether or not selected factors were related to success in the baccalaureat. Three hundred and sixteen graduates in the baccalaureat for the 1984-85 school year, 150 Rhetorique Teachers, and forty principals served as subjects in this study. The data came from the official records of the National Department of Education of Haiti, secondary school records, and questionnaires. Twenty-one of the thirty-six predictor variables used in this study were correlated significantly with the criterion measure, student's success, in baccalaureat, singly. The best combination of variables for the prediction of student success in the Haitian baccalaureat consists of the following: instructional facilities, elementary score, mother's profession, teacher conveniences, discipline, residence location, and study hours. Each of the four categories of predictor variables (personal characteristics of the student, family background, school quality, and curriculum) were significantly correlated with the criterion measure, appearing as reliable predictors of success in the Haitian baccalaureat. School quality was found to be the best category of predictor variables of success. It is recommended that the Ministry of Education in Haiti appoint a Curriculum Review Commission to revise the curriculum; that the Ministry of Education in Haiti provide in the Haitian national budget to (a) establish enough public elementary schools, (b) equip the lycees with adequate offices for teachers and modern instructional facilities, and (c) require the same for colleges; that local administrators and teachers be more accountable for optimum functioning of their schools; that parents be more concerned about the needs of their children, limit family size, and share more time with them; that students study systematically every day, instead of cramming at the end of the school year, and not neglect their sleeping and leisure time; and that further study be undertaken in the area of curriculum development and comparative systems of evaluations.
