Giriş ve Amaç: Bu çalışma diyabetli bireylerin medya araçlarını kullanım durumlarını belirlemek, medyada yer alan beslenme ile ilgili yayınların diyabetli bireylerin beslenme bilgi düzeyleri ile ilişkisini değerlendirmek amacıyla yapılmıştır.

Gereç ve Yöntemler: Kesitsel tanımlayıcı tipte olan çalışma, İzmir-Çiğli Bölge Eğitim Hastanesi’nin Obezite ve Diyet Birimi’ne ve Endokrinoloji Polikliniği’ne başvuran 126 Tip 2 diyabetli hasta ile yürütülmüştür. Verilerin toplanmasında anket formu ve hastaların beslenme bilgi düzeyini ölçmek için “Diyabette Beslenme Tedavisi ile İlgili Bilgi Düzeyi Anketi” uygulanmıştır. Biyokimyasal bulgular hasta dosyalarından kaydedilmiştir.

Bulgular: Hastaların yaş ortalaması 56.59±10.90 yıl olup, %62.7’si kadındır. Hastaların %89.6’sının her gün televizyon izlediği, %45.2’sinin sosyal medyayı takip ettiği belirlenmiştir. Beslenmeyle ilgili en çok takip edilen konular; sağlıklı beslenme (%55.7), beslenmeyle ilgili yeni yaklaşımlar (%29.2), zayıflamadır (%10.4). Hastaların %21.4’ü medyada yer alan bilgilendirici içeriklerin besin seçimini etkilediğini belirtmiştir. İlkokul mezunu olan hastaların diyabette beslenme bilgi düzeyi en düşük iken, lise mezunu olanların en yüksektir (p0.05).

Sonuç: Bu çalışmada, diyabetli hastaların medyada yer alan beslenme içeriklerini takip etmelerinin hastaların beslenme bilgi düzeylerini etkilemediği bulunmuştur. Öte yandan, diyabette beslenme bilgi düzeyi eğitim seviyesi yüksek olan ve besin etiketi okuyan hastalarda daha yüksektir. Medya aracılığıyla edinilebilecek yanlış bilgilerden etkilenme olasılığı olan diyabet hastalarının beslenme bilgi düzeyinin besin etiketi okumayla artabileceği düşünülmüştür. Medyada, besin etiketi okumayı teşvik eden ve uzmanlar tarafından verilmiş doğru beslenme bilgileri içeren yayınların yer alması önerilmiştir.

Published: June 2021

Objective: We aimed to determine whether serum procalcitonin (PCT) levels measured after cesarean section were superior to the levels of other infection markers in the early diagnosis of surgical site infection (SSI).

Material and Methods: The present study was conducted with consecutive 249 patients who underwent elective primary cesarean delivery in our obstetrics clinic of a Private Hospital between November 2018 and April 2019. Measurements of serum PCT, C-reactive protein (CRP) and white blood cell (WBC) counts were performed at the postoperative 6th, 12thand 24th hours. The participating patients were examined for SSI on the postoperative 2nd,4h and 7th days.

Results: Of the participants, 15 (6%) developed surgical site infections, PCT was the most sensitive and specific marker of the SSI. Area under the curve (AUC) for PCT in predicting the SSI was 0.912 (95% CI: 0.79-1) and cutoff point was 0.099 ng/ml with a sensitivity of 93.3%, and specificity of 92.3% (p

Studies the influence of the MSME sector and regional categorical factors is often overlooked, so in this case a simple regression can be improved through classifying similar data sets and being handled properly. Therefore, to increase understanding of the factors that affect the income of MSMEs, it must be considered by looking at the relationship between the categories of the MSME sector and different districts / cities (regions) especially in Aceh Province. One of the analysis models suitable for MSME data is multilevel regression analysis. The purpose of this multilevel regression analysis is to form a regression model on the amount of MSME income in Aceh Province where individual level 1 business owners with factors of type of business, number of workers and amount of capital, are nested in the level 2 MSME sector, nesting in level 3 districts / cities. The data used are UMKM data obtained from the Aceh Cooperative and UMKM Service. The data were processed and analysed using the R-Studio software. The results showed that the type of mining, agriculture and livestock businesses had a significant negative effect of 5% on the income of MSMEs in Aceh Province, while the types of transportation, capital and labor businesses had a significant positive effect of 5%. The measure of suitability of the 3-level regression model obtained deviance, AIC and BIC, respectively, is 22,571, 22,585 and 22,636.

Published: June 2021

Cannabis analysis belongs to the most common types of analyses performed by forensic laboratories, owing to the spread of cannabis-originated drugs on illegal markets. Yet, this subject brings about numerous controversial analytical issues that spark heated debates among specialists in the field. The present work is a review of cannabis-related and analytical issues pertaining to the determination of the total content of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (A-9-THC) and delta 9-tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (A-9-THCA-A) in herbal cannabis samples. Such analyses are currently typically performed by means of gas chromatography or to a lesser extent by liquid chromatography. In the case of gas chromatography, the total content is determined as the sum of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (A-9-THC) that was originally present in the sample and delta-9- tetrahydrocannabinol (A-9-THC) formed as a result of decarboxylation of delta 9-tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (a-9-THCA-A). Liquid chromatography method is suitable for assaying both compounds in their natural form. Both methods have a number of advantages and disadvantages that require particular attention while performing analyses. One of the objectives of the present work was to carry out a comparative study of both methods of analysis, including their advantages and disadvantages. A review of the literature is presented - particularly, related to the subject addressed herein - published in recent years by police drug experts in “Problemy Kryminalistyki” quarterly. The first part contains the review of issues related to cannabis and their products - cannabinoids, cannabis subspecies, use and effect on the human body, legal issues related to cannabis, instrumental methods of assaying A-9-THC and a-9-THCA-A. The following part contains a discussion on factors influencing the assays’ results such as sampling, stability of cannabinoids in cannabis, plant age, extraction, sample humidity, derivatization, stability of standard solutions, decarboxylation of delta 9-tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (A-9-THCA-A), chromatography separation conditions and equipment. In view of the requirements of the Quality Management System that imposes the need for achieving accreditation of the test procedures, the author hopes that the present work will be helpful for analytical chemists working on developing cannabis assays and it will draw their attention to the factors that need to be considered when drafting budget and assessing total measurement uncertainty.

Legal issues in marketing of anabolic-androgenic steroids
Authors:   National Medicines Institute, Mazurek Adam , Jop Krzysztof ,   National Medicines Institute
Published: June 2021

This article provides an insight into the issue of illicit marketing of anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS) in Poland. This risk attached to this phenomenon is particularly reflected in forensic opinions elaborated by the National Medicines Institute for the Police, prosecutor’s offices, Border Guard and other agencies. The casework opinions concern AAS preparations not admitted to trading in Poland for various reasons, raw materials used in the production process, preparations admitted to trading, yet marketed in breach of the applicable provisions of law, and finally, falsified preparations. The article presents a range of the provisions of law, penalizing illicit marketing of AAS-containing products. The structure of criminal law provisions in Poland does not support the efficient reduction of AAS-containing products unlawfully introduced on the Polish market. As a rule, AAS-containing products are classified as medicinal products subject to medical prescription. The authors discuss the possibilities of applying alternative, more restrictive provisions of the Penal Code and other acts by the Police and prosecutors. For comparison purposes, a U.S. scheme of dealing with AAS marketing phenomenon was presented. The provisions of law in the U.S. are more restrictive as regards AAS, which are regarded as controlled substances equally with narcotics and dealt with by the Drug Enforcement Administration - a government agency responsible for combating drug-related crime.

The unpredictability of behaviour in traffic. Some reflections
Authors: Pawelec Kazimierz J.
Published: June 2021

A traffic accident is an unpredictable event, although it may be committed as a result of non-compliance with safety rules, i.e. the general standard specified in Art. 177 & 1 of the Penal Code, or the detailed rules set out in the Law on Road Traffic. Its important cause can also be absolutely unpredictable, deviating from the model behaviour of participants of traffic. They can mislead on another, which from a formal point of view is chargeable, for example, not yielding priority, cutting off traffic, failure to comply with particular caution when approaching the designated crossing points or other dangerous places. Rating non-model, misleading behaviour, repeatedly escapes the attention of law enforcement or the courts. A large part in this is also shared by expert witnesses in traffic and automobile technology, who in their opinions carry out legal assessments, especially the opportunities and obligations. This is an issue strictly dogmatic, not belonging to their competence.

Colour as a basic feature in comparative studies of fibre microtraces
Authors:   Jagiellonian University in Cracow, Starczak Róża , Was-Gubała Jolanta ,   Institute of Forensic Research
Published: June 2021

Forensic evidence in the form of fibres is recovered in cases involving sexual offenses, assault, murder and road accidents. In the event when a connection between persons is determined, fibres transferred from an offender’s to a victim’s clothing and vice versa are sought for. Colour is the first physico-chemical property verified during forensic analysis. Any colour differences between materials recovered at the crime scene and those originating from a suspect's clothing suggestthat fibres cannot have come from the same source. The aim ofthis article is to introduce the colour-related issues as they pertain to forensic fibre evidence.

La nécessité de construire une articulation avec le réseau de soins à l’extérieur de la maternité est finalement soulignée afin d’assurer la meilleure continuité possible des soins pour les patients et leur famille en favorisant au maximum l’alliance thérapeutique.
The Effect of Graphene Oxide Exfoliation Degree on Graphene Film Properties
Authors: ATALAY GENGEÇ Nevin
Published: June 2021

Interest in graphene, which is a new material, is increasing day by day due to its unique mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties. Graphite oxide (GRO), which is synthesized as a result of a series of chemical processes of graphite, was used as the primary material in the production of graphene film. In this study, firstly, graphene oxide (GO) dispersions with different exfoliation degrees were prepared from de-ionized water (DI-water) and repeatedly washed GRO mixture at different ultrasound times. Then, GO films with the same film thickness were produced by casting of the prepared GO dispersions. GO films with different exfoliation degrees were thermally reduced to graphene at 1100 oC, and the change in reduced graphene film (RGO) properties was investigated. XRD, SEM, and FTIR measurements were made for the characterization of thermally reduced graphene and GO films. While the maximum degree of exfoliation was obtained for GO films in 8 hours of ultrasound, the maximum degree of exfoliation was obtained even in 3 hours of ultrasound duruationby thermal reduction of GO films at 1100 oC.
Ladakh Dental Clinic: The Local-Imported Modulars Negotiating Contradictory Material Practices in Remote Cities
Authors:   Cornell University, Zivkovic Sasa , Lok Leslie ,   Cornell University
Published: June 2021

This paper outlines the design and construction of the Ladakh Dental Clinic project as a case study for hybrid local imported material building practices. Referencing local vernacular types as well as comparable rapid assembly systems deployed in India and beyond for other development projects, the paper discusses opportunities and shortcomings of such building strategies. In admirably positivistic modernist spirit, modular construction is often praised as the harbinger or exporter of progress and, at times, architectural advancement. Regularly choking on its own ambitions, successful modular construction largely remains an architectural fantasy as it often struggles to overcome its totalitarian spatial tendencies and inherent inflexibility. Compared to local techniques and perhaps contradictory to its intent, modular construction has a tendency to operate top-down instead of bottom-up. The Ladakh Dental Clinic project can be characterized as a result of its contradictory constraints and multi-client requirements. Necessitating both local construction and imported modular systems due to financial limitations, sponsorship opportunities, future expandability, and a tight schedule, the clinic emerges as a strange hybrid oscillating between local (de-facto imported) Indian cast-in-place concrete construction and (imported) German prefabrication.
Constructing Interior Design Pedagogy
Authors:   American University of Sharjah, Hughes Michael
Published: June 2021

This paper explores the nascent state of hands-on pedagogy within interior design education with regard to the impact of design-build precedents native to architectural curricula, as well as the challenges imposed by conventional assumptions linked to intellectual hierarchies and gender bias. Two primary models are emerging: Objects and the, less common, Augmentation. These methods will be discussed and illustrated with examples drawn from schools in North America and the Middle East. Taken together the methods and projects structure an evolving taxonomy for pedagogies of making in interior design.
Identity Crisis: The Agency of Instagram in Schools of Architecture
Authors:   Tulane University, Smith Benjamin J.
Published: June 2021

The focus of this paper addresses themes of neoliberalism, university commercialization and marketing, architecture school identity formation as a representational practice through social media, and the role of image curation and its production in contemporary architecture. This paper emerged after hearing the phrase ‘buyer’s motive,’ which explained what schools needed to consider for attracting students to their programs at a conference by Ruffalo Noel Levtiz on recruitment, marketing, and retention in higher education in the United States. The use of the word, ‘buyer’, instead of ‘student’, or ‘prospective student’, or ‘learner’ seemingly transformed the production of engaged education to its passive consumption.
Times Square, Times Out! A Speculative Approach on Public Space Practice
Authors:   University of Michigan, Morcillo Pallares Ana
Published: June 2021

480,000 tourists and locals walk through Times Square daily.1 A global destination oversaturated by millions of visitors around the world, a space of discrepancy between locals and administrators, shared by spectators and sanitation workers, entertainment and consumerism, filled by families, tourists, security cameras and performers; Times Square represents a case of study where public space is tested, produced and denied in everyday and extraordinary ways. The Square’s dense and diverse pedestrian activity offers a unique design challenge to explore more than ever public space practices addressing the pros and cons of the changing politics and city protocols, citizen’s demands and the principles of what makes spaces public, what it stands for, and how to provide an environment for interaction.
Design as Play: Sea-Level Rise Planning Board Game
Authors:   Temple University, Kaprielian Gabriel
Published: June 2021

The waterfront along the San Francisco Bay is facing a growing threat from sea-level rise. Over the years, the Bay Area has seen a large portion of the historic wetlands filled or leveled off for residential, commercial, and industrial land uses. According to current sea level rise projections, water will once again reclaim the bay lands that have been filled. The issues presented by sea level rise along the urban edge of the San Francisco Bay involve a complex series of challenges including: regional versus local governance, built versus natural environment, vulnerable local and regional infrastructure, diverging interests with diverse stakeholders, and population growth. With each possible future scenario come multiple outcomes with winners and losers. How can the best policy and design be selected and tested? How will distinct communities learn about different options and strategies for adaptation and be empowered to act? By creating and playing a sea level rise adaptation “game,” student were able to explore these different scenarios and inform future urban planning and design decisions.
An Intersectional Analysis of Urban Public Interiors
Authors:   Pratt Institute, Tehve Karin I.
Published: June 2021

This paper proposes an analysis of New York City’s Interior Privately owned Public Spaces (INT POPS) and the quality of public space they generate. Intersectionality here is a methodology to examine key attributes of INT POPS simultaneously. This method offers opportunities to question prevailing typologies of the term public that are oppositional in nature; this opposition serves to occlude the mutually dependent nature of the types. INT POPS are vaguely programmed, bounded, enclosed and enable proximity, and generate a social space recognizable as an essential characteristic of urban life: a visible aggregation of individuals prior to definition as a collective. Without a simultaneous examination of the physical spaces themselves and the rules, laws and codes that govern them these spaces a false image of a universally accessible space is produced.

After Lisbon : Abandon
Authors:   Wesleyan University, Huge Elijah
Published: June 2021

Announced by the unplanned, synchronous ringing of bells throughout the city, a series of tremors shook Lisbon on the morning of All-Saints Day, November 1, 1755 in what would become an era-defining urban calamity. Beyond the immediate destruction, the earthquake precipitated a tsunami and widespread fires that collectively killed approximately one quarter of the city’s population and destroyed nearly all of its buildings. Both the King, Joseph I, and the Prime Minister, Sebastião de Melo, later named the first Marquis of Pombal, survived.
Transforming Territories: A Landscape of “In-Tension-Alities”
Authors:   New York Institute of Technology, Santamaria Giovanni
Published: June 2021

The flow of people, resources, material and immaterial goods, and at the same time regimes and strategies of control, have always shaped/reshaped our geographies and processes of urbanization. Therefore built and unbuilt landscapes have been characterized by gradual or dramatic changes, leading to new architectural typologies and urban morphologies corresponding to the transformation of means of production, distribution, circulation, consumption and to the shift of political, economic and ideological realms. The effects of these processes on structure and quality of space and life could be described as part of a complex Urban Metabolism¹ which looks at the city and its territory as a complex organism. This dynamic landscape has reached a high level of complexity where natural environments (geology, hydrology, topography) and cultural environments (productive lands, urban settlements, infrastructural networks) need to be synergistically understood as part of an articulated ecological system, with both micro and macro implications. It is the synthesis of geographic-historical contents (collective values), aesthetic-perceptual contents (individual values), and ecological-natural contents (biological values)², influenced more and more by natural and man-made disasters caused by climate change and human conflicts. Since the city as a definable entity and product of predetermined models has become obsolete, we are now called to work with a collage of fragments, heterogeneous and dynamic, often in opposition and unpredictable, subjected to the balance of variable forces, with their own order and rules, and their own ways of evolving, which we have to understand and manage³. This determines the need for new tools and methods to observe, record and assess urban phenomena, and the data regarding them, towards more sensitive interventions.
Public Domesticity: The Beach as a Model
Authors:   Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, Colmenares Silvia
Published: June 2021

The temporary and collective appropriation of public spaces has become a way of pointing out the failure of their institutional management. But through the whole system of locally produced opportunities of engagement, a tendency to execute this appropriation by the performance of domestic scenes can be identified. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to describe this growing tendency to reclaim what is public by showing its capacity to be used as private, and among those, the ‘beach’ will be described as a model. Being the perfect incarnation of the idea of human fellowship in the open air, the beach regulates itself through its very un-programmed usage. This might be the reason why its genuine conditions have been tentatively replicated at the core of some highly urban scenarios. However, this experience oriented design examples seem to be just a rehearsal of what a real beach should be. Relying on the physical properties of the sand and the colourful atrezzo accompanying sunbaths, they fundamentally fail to engage the radicalness of the beach concept. If the topical image of relaxed individuals is superseded, by default distribution of space, access control, cleansing and security issues come to the fore. At a time when it is no more ‘under the pavement’, the beach can still gear the debate about public space in our cities.

An increasing challenge for the design of public space is the expanding awareness of the many dimensions and networks throughwhichthepublicdomainisfullyglobalandunbounded while built architectural projects remain inherently discrete and locally bounded – a paradox of public space- for designers. For example- how we are increasingly aware that any local and privatized practice (like farming along the Amazon River) has both significant direct and indirect impacts on shared global resources (like Canadian fisheries) the world over.

Gempa bumi merupakan salah satu ancaman terbesar terhadap gedung, sehingga perlu untuk mendesain gedung dengan memperhitungkan pembebanan gempa bumi yang terjadi. Dengan bantuan software finite element dapat diperoleh respons struktur berupa displacement, velocity, dan acceleration yang terjadi akibat gempa bumi. Jaringan Saraf Tiruan (JST) merupakan salah satu metode yang dapat memprediksi kerusakan bangunan dengan memanfaatkan data respons struktur dengan waktu analisis yang relatif lebih singkat dibandingkan menganalisis struktur satu per satu. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis data gempa dengan magnitude intensitas tinggi yang berbeda-beda. Data input dan output diperoleh melalui software Finite Element untuk menghasilkan jumlah data yang diperlukan JST yaitu sebanyak 4489 data. Pada penelitian ini, komposisi yang digunakan untuk training, testing, dan validating adalah 60%, 25%, dan 15% masing – masingnya. Data input yang digunakan yaitu waktu, acceleration arah x dan y, velocity arah x dan y, serta displacement arah x dan y. Sedangkan untuk data target yang digunakan yaitu kinerja struktur yang ditentukan oleh FEMA 356 dan simpangan antar lantai arah x dan y. Hasil pengujian menunjukkan analisis oleh JST yang menggunakan transfer function Tan-Sigmoid menunjukkan nilai R2 sebesar 97,542% dan Mean Square Error (MSE) yang dihasilkan yaitu sebesar 1,2449.E-07. Hal ini menunjukkan analisis JST dengan transfer function Tan-Sigmoid dapat digunakan untuk memprediksi kinerja dari struktur dengan cepat dan akurat. Dengan demikian metode ini diharapkan dapat direkomendasikan untuk Structural Engineer dan perencana gedung dalam mendesain bangunan gedung bertingkat tahan gempa.

Dynamic Diverse Summarisation in Heterogeneous Graph Streams: a Comparison between Thesaurus/Ontology-based and Embeddings-based Approaches
Authors: Pavlopoulou Niki
Published: June 2021

Nowadays, there is a lot of attention drawn in smart environments, like Smart Cities and Internet of Things. These environments generate data streams that could be represented as graphs, which can be analysed in real-time to satisfy user or application needs. The challenges involved in these environments, ranging from the dynamism, heterogeneity, continuity, and high-volume of these real-world graph streams
create new requirements for graph processing algorithms. We propose
a dynamic graph stream summarisation system with the use of embeddings that provides expressive graphs while ensuring high usability and limited resource usage. In this paper, we examine the performance comparison between our embeddings-based approach and an existing thesaurus/ontology-based approach (FACES) that we adapted in a dynamic environment with the use of windows and data fusion. Both
approaches use conceptual clustering and top-k scoring that can result
in expressive, dynamic graph summaries with limited resources. Evaluations show that sending top-k fused diverse summaries, results in 34%
to 92% reduction of forwarded messages and redundancy-awareness with
an F-score ranging from 0.80 to 0.95 depending on the k compared to
sending all the available information without top-k scoring. Also, the
summaries' quality follows the agreement of ideal summaries determined
by human judges. The summarisation approaches come with the expense
of reduced system performance. The thesaurus/ontology-based approach
proved 6 times more latency-heavy and 3 times more memory-heavy compared to the most expensive embeddings-based approach while having
lower throughput but provided slightly better quality summaries.
Intelligent Generation of Storylines for Immersive Point and Click Games
Authors: Cau Federico Maria , Mereu Angelo , Davide Spano Lucio
Published: June 2021

In this paper, we present an intelligent support End-User Developers (EUDevs) in creating plot lines for Point and Click games on the web. We introduce a story generator and the associated user interface, which help the EUDev in defining the game plot starting from the images providing the game setting. In particular, we detail a pipeline for creating such game plots starting from 360 degrees images. We identify salient objects in equirectangular images, and we compose the output with other two neural networks for the generation: one generating captions for 2D images and one generating the plot text. The provided suggestions can be further developed by the EUDev, modifying the generated text and saving the result. The interface supports the control of different parameters of the story generator using a user-friendly vocabulary. The results of a user study show good effectiveness and usability of the proposed interface.
View Planning for Robotic Inspection of Tolerances Through Visual Tracking of Manual Surface Finishing Operations
Authors: Njaastad Eirik B.
Published: June 2021

This article presents an approach for determining suitable
camera view poses for inspection of surface tolerances based on visual
tracking of the tool movements performed by a skilled worker. Automated surface inspection of a workpiece adjusted by manual operations
depends on manual programming of the inspecting robot, or a timeconsuming exhaustive search over the entire surface. The proposed approach is based on the assumption that the tool movements of the skilled
worker coincide with the most relevant regions of the underlying surface
of the workpiece, namely the parts where a manual process has been
performed. The affected region is detected with a visual tracking system,
which measures the motion of the tool using a low-cost RGBD-camera,
a particle filter, and a CAD model of the tool. The main contribution
is a scheme for selecting relevant camera view poses for inspecting the
affected region using a robot equipped with a high-accuracy RGBDcamera. A principal component analysis of the tracked tool paths allows
for evaluating the view poses by the Hotelling’s T-squared distribution
test in order to sort and select suitable camera view poses. The approach
is implemented and tested for the case where a large ship propeller blade
cast in NiAl bronze is to be inspected by a robot after manual adjustments of its surface.
Rosy: An elegant language to teach the pure reactive nature of robot programming
Authors: Pacheco Hugo , Macedo Nuno
Published: June 2021

Robotics is very appealing and is long recognized as a great way to teach programming, while drawing inspiring connections to other branches of engineering and science such as maths, physics or electronics.
Although this symbiotic relationship between robotics and programming is perceived as largely beneficial, educational approaches often feel the need to hide the underlying complexity of the robotic system, but as a result fail to transmit the reactive essence of robot programming to the roboticists and programmers of the future.

This paper presents Rosy, a novel language for teaching novice programmers through robotics.
Its functional style is both familiar with a high-school algebra background and a materialization of the inherent reactive nature of robotic programming.
Working at a higher-level of abstraction also teaches valuable design principles of decomposition of robotics software into collections of interacting controllers.
Despite its simplicity, Rosy is completely valid Haskell code compatible with the ROS~ecosystem.

We make a convincing case for our language by demonstrating how non-trivial applications can be expressed with ease and clarity, exposing its sound functional programming foundations, and developing a web-enabled robot programming environment.
Measuring Group Personality with Swarm AI
Authors: Willcox Gregg
Published: June 2021

The aggregation of individual personality assessments to predict team performance is widely accepted in management theory but
has significant limitations: the isolated nature of individual personality surveys fails to capture much of the team dynamics that drive realworld team performance. Artificial Swarm Intelligence (ASI)—a technology that enables networked teams to think together in real-time and
answer questions as a unified system—promises a solution to these limitations by enabling teams to collectively complete a personality assessment, whereby the team uses ASI to converge upon answers that best
represent the group’s disposition. In the present study, the group personality of 94 small teams was assessed by having teams take a standard
Big Five Inventory (BFI) assessment both as individuals, and as a realtime system enabled by an ASI technology known as Swarm AI. The
predictive accuracy of each personality assessment method was assessed
by correlating the BFI personality traits to a range of real-world performance metrics. The results showed that assessments of personality
generated using Swarm AI were far more predictive of team performance
than the traditional aggregation methods, showing at least a 91.8% increase in average correlation with the measured outcome variables, and
in no case showing a significant decrease in predictive performance. This
suggests that Swarm AI technology may be used as a highly effective
team personality assessment tool that more accurately predicts future
team performance than traditional survey approaches.
Estimating Number and Dwell Time of Visitors in a Large-scale Indoor Space from HVAC Data and Its Evaluation in Different Seasons
Authors: Tsunoda Keisuke , Arai Naoki , Obana Kazuaki
Published: June 2021

The aim of this paper is to estimate the number and dwell time of visitors in a large-scale indoor space or room with a common heating-ventilation-air conditioning (HVAC) system that includes sensors for CO2 and indoor temperature in any season. Previous studies tried to estimate the number and dwell time of visitors from CO2 concentration in small rooms with or without a HVAC system. However, in a large-scale indoor space with large air-conditioning and ventilation systems, the number and dwell time of visitors are difficult to estimate for three reasons: 1) CO2 concentration changes much more slowly than the number and dwell time of visitors and with a delay, 2) the difference in changes is affected by the amount of ventilation, and 3) this difference may be affected by operation of HVAC, which is affected by seasonal climate. To solve these problems, we proposed partial modeling with a variable time window. This method can make a partial estimation model that automatically corresponds to differences in the change speed between two variables: visitors and CO2 concentration. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposal using measured sensor data in summer, fall, and winter to clarify its feasibility in different seasons in Japan.
