Temporal Order and Pen Velocity Recovery for Character Handwriting Based on Sequence to Sequence Gated Recurrent Unit Model
Authors: Rabhi Besma , Elbaati Abdelkarim , Boubaker Houcine , Alimi Adel M.
Published: October 2020

The online signal is rich in dynamic features such as trajectory chronology, velocity, pressure and pen up/down. Their offline counterpart consists of a set of pixels. Thus, the online handwriting recognition accuracy is generally better than the offline one. In this paper, we propose an original framework for recovering temporal order and pen velocity from offline handwriting. Our framework is based on sequence to sequence Gated Recurrent Unit (Seq2Seq GRU) model. The proposed system consists in extracting a hidden representation from an image using Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Bidirectional GRU (BGRU), and decoding the encoded vectors to generate dynamic information using BGRU. We validate our framework by an online recognition system applied on Latin, Arabic and Indian On/Off dual handwriting character database. To prove the performance
of the proposed system, we achieve a low error rate of point coordinates and a high accuracy rate of the LSTM recognition
system.
A Generic Algebraic Proof of the Unified Power Conservative Equivalent Circuit Theorem
Authors: Barbi Ivo
Published: October 2020

This paper presents a generic algebraic proof of a recently published theorem [4], on the power conservative equivalent circuit for linear DC networks formed by time-invariant resistors and independent voltage and current sources. As the cited publication states, the internal losses of any network have two components: one variable and dependent on the internal resistances of the actual circuit and the power transferred to the pair of accessible terminals; and the other constant and dependent only on the internal voltage and current sources and the resistances of the actual network. It is also noted that the traditional Thévenin and Norton equivalent circuits are particular cases of the proposed equivalent circuit.

Authors: NOUA Abdelouahab , GUEMINI Meryem , ZIAR Toufik , FARH Hichem , GUEMINI Rebai
Published: October 2020

Aluminium alloys are of particular interest because of their low density, low cost and ease of thermo-mechanical processing. During the recent years, much interest has been shown in the development of alloys with optimal mechanical properties which can be retained at high temperatures. The purpose of the present investigation is to study the microstructure of two Al-Mg-Si alloys containing transition elements after cold deformation 10%, 20 %, 30%, 40% and 50% reduction in thickness and annealing at 1 hour at different temperature by using the optical microscopy, transmission electron microscopic (TEM), Vickers hardness measurement. We notice that the micro-hardness increases with the increasing of the deformation level. The coarse particles, with a particle size of about 2 to 3 µm, give rise to a heavily local deformation of the Aluminium matrix. The formation of well-defined substructure due to the arrangement of dislocations is observed after an increase in annealing temperature.

Published: October 2020

Effects of elevated temperature on thermo-mechanical properties of fired ceramic products reinforced with waste glass powder (WGP) were reported. Samples were produced by the addition of WGP to clay in varied amount and oven dried samples were fired in an electric furnace which was operated 1200 oC. Compressive and flexural strength were examined at room temperature and at elevated temperatures of 100, 300, 500, 700, and 900 oC. Results showed that, compressive strength and flexural strength reduced at elevated temperatures. Thermal conductivity, diffusivity, and emissivity were higher with increasing WGP content, while thermal expansivity and specific heat capacity were lower as percentage WGP increased in the samples. Results on thermal shock resistance showed that WGP reduced shock resistance in the samples, while the cooling rate increased with the percentage addition of WGP. Impact resistance was noted to decrease in samples when fast cooled from high temperature as the rapid cooling rate was observed to increase with WGP addition in samples. It was concluded that for fired clay products incorporated with WGP, the operating temperature should not exceed 700 oC. Also, in an environment whereby cooling is done by air or/and water, an operating temperature of ≤ 300 oC was recommended.
MICROBIOLOGICAL SURVEY AND DISSEMINATION OF FILAMENTOUS FUNGI OF PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE FROM WATER RESERVOIR (STORAGE TANK) IN CROWN ESTATE, IGBINEDION UNIVERSITY, OKADA, NIGERIA
Authors: Akpoka Obhioze Augustine
Published: October 2020

Results of this investigation revealed that several species of filamentous fungi are present in the reservoir waters. Samples were collected from the surface and walls of the inner storage tank. The isolation process was done by a range of techniques and media, monitored by trained taxonomist to achieve broad arrays of water-borne fungi classified to species level. The direct plate enrichment counts and filtration technique recorded the highest number of counts (59 % and 32 %) respectively. The sabauraud dextrose Agar (SDA) was observed as the medium that recorded the highest colonies (60 cfu/100 ml) for incubation period of 5 d at 30 oC. Six different fungal taxa were recovered from the three examined sites (ST1, ST2 and ST3) and the ST3 was reported to have the highest number of isolated species. However, certain fungi were observed to be more distributed than others, specifically in species of Aspergillus and Penicillium which tended to be the most common. Although, species of other genera such as Acremonium sp., Rhizopus stolonifer, Mucor racemosus and Trichophyton sp. were also present but in low counts. The significance of fungi in water systems is lowly expressed as many of the species isolated from water sources are confirmed to possess the potentiality of secreting toxic secondary metabolites like patulin, produced by P. espansum causing immune-suppression in hosts, A.flavus secrets aflatoxins that can be carcinogenic, A. versicolour releases the musty odours in homes, while some moulds are concerned in food deterioration.

Authors: Shkorbotun Volodymyr O. , Shkorbotun Yaroslav V.
Published: October 2020

Topicality: The radical treatment for patients with cysts of the paranasal sinuses is only surgery. There are different approaches used for sinusotomy.
Objective: Comparison of the impact on the quality of life of patients performing maxillofacial surgery with different options for surgical approaches.
Methods and materials: 110 patients who underwent endoscopic sinus surgery for maxillary sinus cysts removing were examined. They were divided into 3 groups, according to the selected approach: 1st group – sublabial approach (35 people), 2nd group – anthrostomy through the middle nasal meatus (35 people), 3rd group – infraturbinal approach (40 people). To evaluate the quality of life of patients, we used our validated Ukrainian language version of the SNOT-22 questionnaire.
Results and discussion: In the early period after maxillofacial surgery there was a significant deterioration in the quality of life of patients, which was more pronounced in groups 1 and 2 and was respectively Ʃsublab 45.3 ± 1.3 and Ʃantrostomy 42.1 ± 1.2 a in patients of group 3 it was significantly lower – Ʃinfr
21.4 ± 0.9 (p <0.05). The total score of ear/facial symptoms on the 3rd day after sublabial sinusotomy was 7.3 ± 1.9 points, which is 1.7 times higher than in the second and 6 times higher than in the 3rd group. According to rhinological symptoms, the greatest impact on the quality of life of patients was observed in patients for whom anthrostomy was chose nasal approach (12.3±1.7 points), which is 1.8 times more than in maxillary microsinusotomy and 2.3 times more than in infraturbinal approach.
Conclusions: Infraturbinal approach sinusitis compared with sublabial and anthrostomy according to the SNOT-22 survey has a smaller impact on the quality of life of patients. According to the results of the SNOT 22 survey in the early postoperative period after endoscopic maxillary sinusomy with approach through the antrostomy, there is deterioration in the quality of life of patients mainly due to rhinological complaints, while with sublabial approach – due to ear/facial.
Theoretical "t-z" Curves for Piles in Radially Inhomogeneous Soil
Authors: Crispin Jamie
Published: October 2020

Accurate estimates of pile settlement are key for efficient design of axially loaded piles. Calculations of pile settlement can be simplified using one-dimensional “t-z” curves describing pile settlement at a certain depth as a function of side friction. In the realm of this simplified framework, theoretical “t-z” curves can be derived by substituting an attenuation function describing the variation of shear stress with distance from the pile, into a soil constitutive model relating shear strain to shear stress, then integrating with respect to distance to get the settlement at the pile circumference due to an applied shear stress. A handful of analytical “t-z” curves are available in the literature using the concentric cylinder model to define an attenuation function; these include solutions for linear-elastic, power-law and hyperbolic constitutive models. However, radially homogeneous soil has often been assumed, ignoring the effect of the pile installation resulting in unconservative calculations of pile settlement. This paper considers the installation of the pile, resulting in a radially variable shear modulus distribution in the surrounding soil. A radial inhomogeneity correction factor has been developed for selected constitutive models based on two simplified functions for the soil inhomogeneity, which can be applied to the previously derived “t-z” curves produced assuming radially homogeneous soil. The performance of this simplified method is investigated.

Antisynthetase syndrome is a clinical and laboratory syndrome that develops in patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathy and is characterized by the development of interstitial lung disease, namely fibrosing alveolitis syndrome, resistance to traditional corticoid therapy and the presence of myositis-specific antibodies.We present a clinical case of an antisynthetase syndrome in a middle-aged patient who has presented severe myalgic syndrome, photodermatosis, Raynaud’s phenomenon. The disease debuted with cutaneous (heliotropic erythema, erythematous rash on the skin of the upper torso) and myalgic symptoms, fever with next adding of the joint syndrome, as well as lung damage (pulmonitis and infiltrates). Immunological testing revealed anti-Jo-1, anti-PL-12-, anti-PL-7 antibodies («Polycheck», BIOCHECK, Germany). Since years, the patient has got the diagnosis of antisynthetase syndrome. The use of combined pulse therapy with cyclophosphamide and methylprednisolone, as well as the addition of high doses of vitamin D3 has contributed to the regression oflung damage and reduction of dermatomyositis activity.

Contribution to the study of frontal sinus familial similarity based on genealogically documented individuals (Bohemia, 19th to 20th centuries)
Authors: Cvrček Jan , Velemínský Petr
Published: October 2020

The issue of the influence of biological relatedness on frontal sinus patterns is still the subject of discussion. Research possibilities worldwide are however limited by the lack of genealogically documented skeletal remains. This study presents the results of analyses of seven identified 19th-20th century skulls from two families, discovered in the collections of the Hrdlička Museum of Man. Anteroposterior X-rays were created and the morphology of the frontal sinuses was evaluated using two approaches: A) a simple visual assessment indicating shared or similar features; and B) calculation of the degree of similarity based on a scoring system. With both approaches, the results of family relationship assessments were best reflected in the first family, between individuals with the smallest degree of biological distance. In the second family, which had more distant relationships compared to the first, the positive relationship between biological distance and degree of similarity was not clearly apparent. Although this is a small sample with a small number of generations, our findings support the conclusions of previous studies, i.e. that the degree of similarity between individuals decreases with their increasing biological distance.

The legal aspects of attracting a specialist to conduct a search, as well as the organization of the activities of the most popular carrier of special knowledge in practice - a criminalist. The main directions of the specialist's activity during the search are highlighted: the use of technical and forensic tools; assistance in fixing the course and results of the investigative action; explanation of the properties and features of the discovered objects. A number of factors that significantly reduce the effectiveness of regime searches on the territory of industrial zones of correctional institutions are singled out separately: violation of the frequency of search activities; superficial, formal search for prohibited items; inefficient use or lack of technical search tools.
Exploring word memorability: How well do different word properties explain item free-recall probability?
Authors: Madan Christopher R.
Published: October 2020

What makes some words more memorable than others? Words can vary in many dimensions, and a variety of lexical, semantic, and affective properties have previously been associated with variability in recall performance. Free recall data were used from 147 participants across 20 experimental sessions from the Penn Electrophysiology of Encoding and Retrieval Study (PEERS) data set, across 1,638 words. Here, I consider how well 20 different word properties—across lexical, semantic, and affective dimensions—relate to free recall. Semantic dimensions, particularly animacy (better memory for living), usefulness (with respect to survival; better memory for useful), and size (better memory for larger) demonstrated the strongest relationships with recall probability. These key results were then examined and replicated in the free recall data from Lau, Goh, and Yap (Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 71, 2207–2222, 2018), which had 532 words and 116 participants. This comprehensive investigation of a variety of word memorability demonstrates that semantic and function-related psycholinguistic properties play an important role in verbal memory processes.

This research was a study conducted on transgender as one of the media spotlight. This study aimed to describe how the media portrays the existence of transgender in Indonesia through media. In this case the researchers looked at the cases of Dena Rachman. Results showed that there was particular justification of media in portraying negatively the behavior of people who become transgender or the like. The portrayal makes people against for the decision and behavior taken by Dena Rachman. Changing the male identity to be a female is very unusual. Especially for those who think that identity is inherent and unchangeable. Yet this identity is socially constructed and liquid. Dena Rachman’a changing reinforces the notion that gender is only two, namely men and women.  Keywords: Transgender, Mass Media, Social Construction.

An evaluation of machine learning and latent semantic analysis in text sentiment classification
Authors: Miazga Justyna , Hachaj Tomasz
Published: October 2020

In this paper, we compare the following machine learning methods as classifiers
for sentiment analysis: k – nearest neighbours (kNN), artificial neural network
(ANN), support vector machine (SVM), random forest. We used a dataset
containing 5,000 movie reviews in which 2,500 were marked as positive and
2,500 as negative. We chose 5,189 words which have an influence on sentence
sentiment. The dataset was prepared using a term document matrix (TDM) and
classical multidimensional scaling (MDS). This is the first time that TDM and
MDS have been used to choose the characteristics of text in sentiment analysis.
In this case, we decided to examine different indicators of the specific classifier,
such as kernel type for SVM and neighbour count in kNN. All calculations were
performed in the R language, in the program R Studio v 3.5.2. Our work can be
reproduced because all of our data sets and source code are public.
Tyrannosaurus rex it is not a prehistoric animal: roaring in a semantic prehistoric jungle
Authors: Romano Marco , Sardella Raffaele
Published: October 2020

The word “prehistory” has been used for a long time to indicate all extinct organisms of the past, with dinosaurs occupying a center stage stimulating the imagination of a very large audience. Such erroneous use of the term prehistory is widespread even today, a word and concept originally referred to the period of human history which preceded writing, i.e. prior to documented history and embracing a time interval from about 2.6 million years ago to 4000 BC. Keeping in mind the crucial milestone of 'deep time' concept in geology the division of the extensive Earth history into only two sections of respectively 4.5429 billion years and 4000 years in our opinion is a misleading oversimplification. Over the past few centuries much effort has gone into the development of a hyper-detailed chronostratigraphic scale, substantiated by absolute dating, detailed biostratigraphy, and documentation of biological evolution. All this generation of knowledge, conducted by thousands of researchers over many years, is completely lost when, in a simplistic way the anthropocentric dichotomy is accepted.
Avoiding Common Legal Issues Confronted in Pharmacy Practice: Evaluating Prescriptions with PRN Wording and Calling for Refills
Authors: Weissman Fred , Rosenberg Ettie
Published: October 2020

Community pharmacists are cited and/or fined at an alarming rate. Pharmacists can also be charged by the California (CA) Attorney General (AG) or the Board of Pharmacy (BOP) for more severe violations of law and/or professional practice standards, in the form of an Accusation, the administrative equivalent of a civil “complaint.” This article presents a concise review of two pharmacy practice scenarios involving adjudication of refills with implications for practice violations and attempts to clarify best practices in order to meet the expectations of the BOP and avoid problems with a BOP inspection. The scenarios discussed here cover: 1) Use of “as needed” (prn) wording in a prescription (whether in the directions for use or refill context); and 2) Refills of routine and controlled substance prescriptions called in by a pharmacy technician or pharmacy clerk. The authors' identification of best practices in these refill contexts aims to enhance pharmacists' understanding of pharmacy law in order to ensure maximum compliance.

La sífilis es una enfermedad sistémica de transmisión sexual causada por la espiroqueta Treponema pallidum. A pesar de ser una infección neonatal prevenible mediante tamizaje y tratamiento materno, las tasas de sífilis congénita han mostrado un aumento a nivel global en los últimos años.Metodología: estudio descriptivo, transversal, prospectivo. Se revisaron los expedientes de los neonatos nacidos de madres con pruebas no treponémicas positivas, se diseño una escala de evaluación de la calidad de atención recibida por el binomio madre – hijo.Resultados: Se revisó un total de 2977 expedientes, 20 cumplieron con criterios de inclusión. Se estimó una tasa de sífilis congénita de 2.3 por mil nacidos vivos. La prueba de VDRL se realizó después del primer trimestre en el 40% de las embarazadas, 86% de las madres de los neonatos con sífilis congénita recibió tratamiento inadecuado. El 71% de los casos de sí lis congénita recibió el antibiótico de elección, dosis y duración de tratamiento adecuada y 42%, recibió un ajuste adecuado de los intervalos de administración de antibiótico. Ningún paciente con sí lis congénita recibió la evaluación de laboratorios e imágenes de acuerdo a la norma. La calidad de la atención recibió una puntuación de 77 /100.

Published: October 2020

Introducción: Durante los años 90 en Panamá, un programa patrocinado por los EE. UU. llevo a cabo la Iniciativa para los Hospitales Amigos de los Niños (IHAN) como guía para educar a los profesionales clínicos, al público y a las mujeres en edad reproductiva sobre los beneficios de la lactancia materna. Como resultado, Panamá tiene actualmente la mayor proporción de mujeres que ofrece el pecho materno dentro de la primera hora de vida (89.9%), pero una de las menores tasas en la región de alimentación exclusiva al pecho materno hasta los 6 meses de edad. Este estudio explora la relación entre las practicas alrededor del periodo de ablactación y la historia nutricional del lactante en mujeres panameñas con un niño de hasta 1 año de edad utilizando un diseño transversal.

Materiales y Métodos: Se invito una muestra por conveniencia de 35 binomios madre-hijo en dos Centros de Salud de Chitré, Herrera. Las mujeres que consintieron participar en el estudio completaron la Escala de Autoeficacia para la Lactancia Materna, Formulario Corto (BSES-SF) y se compararon las medidas antropométricas del niño utilizando los nomogramas de los CDC.

Resultados: Los puntajes del BSES-SF variaron entre 29 y 56 (media = 44.2, DE = 7.9) puntos. Siete lactantes fueron considerados a riesgo para retraso en el Desarrollo; 40% estuvieron a riesgo de talla baja y 2 estuvieron a riesgo de sobrepeso.

Conclusión: A pesar de que Panamá duplicó su cantidad de IHAN a 16%, muchos lactantes continúan a riesgo nutricional.
