Published: September 2021

The use of these traditional peacetime methodological approaches to accounting and analysis of non-combat injuries has led to an underestimation of its high level in the planning of inpatient care for servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the area of the Joint Forces operation (anti-terrorist operation). The purpose of the study is a general assessment of the place of combat and non-combat injuries (including poisoning) in the structure of cases of hospitalization of servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the area of the Joint Forces operation and anti-terrorist operation. Statistical mathematical processing was performed using computer programs Microsoft Excel and STATISTICA (version 6, StatSoft, Inc.). Based on annual medical reports on 3/med form, the ICD-10 structure of Ukrainian Armed Forces servicemen treated in MTF located in area of Joint Forces Operation for 2015-2020 has been presented. Ranks of disease classes have been calculated. Based on medical reports according Temporary instruction on codification of battle injures, non-battle trauma and diseases in Ukrainian Armed Forces, the structure of casualties admissions to MTF have been pointed out. The leading places in structure of treated servicemen belongs to patients with diagnoses on XIX class of ICD-10 (1st place for 2015-2019, 2nd place in 2020) that was stipulated by relative high levels of non-battle trauma in troops on the East of Ukraine. The comparison of structure of servicemen treated in MTF located in and out area of Joint Forces Operation as well as with structure of adult population (over 18 years old) treated in civil hospitals has been conducted. Prevalence of traumatic pathology levels among patients treated in MTF located in area of Joint Forces Operation in comparison with others treatment facilities data has been revealed. For 2015-2020 the shares of trauma and poison cases in structure of treated servicemen in MTF located in area of Joint Forces Operation significantly decreased that was connected with gradual lowing of battle actions intensity and non-battle trauma level. Based on result of research the necessity to improve curative and diagnostic base of military treatment facilities in area of Joint task operation as well as medical report and non-battle trauma prevention systems has been concluded.

The increase in the prevalence and age of seborrhea, its significant impact on the psycho-emotional sphere, social status and social adaptation of patients determines the relevance of further study of the causes of dermatosis in the key of constitutional psychodermatology, namely – the study of relationships between oily skin and emotional impact of oily skin with anthropometric indicators. The aim of the study was to analyze the correlations between Oily Skin Self Assessment Scale (OSSAS) and Oily Skin Impact Scale (OSIS) in men and women with seborrheic dermatitis with body structure and size indicators. A survey of 40 men and 40 young women with generalized fatty seborrheic dermatitis done. The OSSAS and OSIS scoring system was used to assess the severity of oily skin and the emotional impact of oily skin in seborrheic dermatitis. Anthropometric survey was carried out according to the scheme of Bunak V. V. (1941). The mathematical scheme of Carter J. and Heath B. (1990) was used to evaluate the somatotype. Matiegka J. (1921) formulas were used to calculate body weight components. In addition, the muscle component of body weight was assessed by the American Nutrition Institute. Correlation analysis was performed in the license package "Statistica 6.0" using the non-parametric Spearman's method. As a result of the conducted researches multiple reliable and moderate unreliable correlations of OSSAS or OSIS with anthropo-somatotypological indicators of men and women of patients with generalized fatty form of seborrheic dermatitis of mild and severe course were established. The practical lack of similar correlations between OSIS and anthropo-somatotypological parameters in men and women with severe seborrheic dermatitis is noteworthy. Quantitative analysis of reliable and moderate unreliable correlations of OSSAS or OSIS with anthropo-somatotypological parameters in men and women with seborrheic dermatitis of mild and severe course showed that the vast majority of such correlations are inverse, and unreliable average correlations are often observed (except for OSSAS correlations with anthropo-somatotypological parameters in women with mild disease). It was also found that regardless of sex, most of the reliable or moderately unreliable correlations between OSSAS or OSIS and anthropo-somatotypological indicators are observed in the mild course of the disease. The obtained results of the correlation analysis expand the current understanding of the risk criteria and unfavorable prognosis of seborrheic dermatitis.

Published: September 2021

Ectopic pregnancy is a quite common and life-threatening pregnancy. The most common site of ectopic implantation of a fertilized embryo is the fallopian tube. In extremely rare situations, the embryo can implant in other locations, which makes the diagnosis and management even more complex. Although close observation of a new pregnancy is key in the diagnosis and treatment of an ectopic pregnancy, there is still a major risk of life-threatening outcomes. This is a case report of a 31-year-old patient with a history of multiple pregnancies who presented to a community hospital in the spring of 2021 with an ectopic caesarean scar pregnancy. A diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy was on a timely basis, and surgical management was advised. Upon refusal of treatment and admission, pharmacological management was initiated, but patient compliance challenged the success of the therapy. Patient non-compliance to close follow-up resulted in a ruptured uterus. Emergency laparotomy with supracervical hysterectomy was performed as a life-saving procedure.

Published: September 2021

Palliative care aims to improve the quality of life of both the palliative care patient and their caregiver. Palliative care caregivers care for palliative care patients who suffer from symptoms and unmet needs. Most reviews and research to date have focused on the palliative patient, also called the care recipient. However, we still have little knowledge about the palliative care caregivers, including the risk factors of these caregivers becoming overburdened leading to caregiver burnout. The objective of this review was to examine the responsibilities of palliative care caregivers and the associated risks of these caregivers developing caregiver burden. We review the caring work of the caregivers, the types of caregivers, the differences between palliative care and general caregivers, the different types and levels of problems they face in caring for their patients and the risk factors of developing palliative care caregiver burden. We hope this review will increase awareness of this problem and help to improve the palliative care system to look after the needs of not only the patients in the system but also the patients’ caregivers, who play such an important role.

Published: September 2021

Activities in a company or institution are something that is usually done, the forms of these activities are generally training, socialization of new regulations, inauguration, and so on. These activities need to be recorded and the data managed as documentation or reference and consideration in subsequent activities. This activity requires planning starting from preparation, scheduling, distributing invitations via email, to implementing and recording the attendance of invited participants. The case study was conducted at PT Pelni Indonesia as an Indonesian National Shipping company that often carries out internal activities within the company. The problem that occurs in the management of company activities at PT Pelni is that so far it is still using the manual system. The participant registration process, participant data collection, sending invitations, recording participant attendance and so on are carried out in handwriting and stored in an excel file. Of course, this makes it difficult to search and manage data, and allows data loss or document slippage to occur. One solution that can be used to overcome these problems is to build an information system for managing company activity data. The management system can assist the HRD for data management needed in the implementation of activities carried out by the company. QR Code technology is also used to encrypt participant invitation numbers, verify participant data and to record attendance. The result of developing this system is a data management system for company activities by utilizing Quick Response Code (QR Code) technology. The generated QR Code can store various participant data in only 1 code and is used to verify participant data.
THE ROLE OF İNTONATİON İN THE CONNECTİON OF COMPOUND SENTENCE COMPONENTS İN AZERBAİJANİ FOLKLORE MATERİALS
Authors: Konul D.
Published: September 2021

The article discusses the role of intonation as a means of connecting the components of compound sentence structures in Azerbaijani folklore materials. Folklore materials are examples of oral language that reflects the national culture of our nation. These oral language patterns are expressed by different sentence structures. One of the sentence structures expressing the essence and content of our folklore is compound sentence structures. Compound sentences are a syntactic unit formed by the semantic and grammatical combination of sentences with equal rights. Since compound sentence structures in folklore materials are oral language material, its components are more associated with intonation. Intonation is related to the sentence and is the action of the sound in the sentence. In the process of speech, intonation is widely used in the expression of various feelings of joy, sorrow, anger, supplication, joy, etc.

Intonation also serves to clarify the purpose of utterance in compound sentences. Thus, the components of this sentence are mostly pronounced with the same type of narration, or question, or command, or emotionally intonation. Due to the structural features and the nature of the intonation, there are connections of meaning, connection, cause and effect, clarification, comparison, distribution between the components of compound sentences. Most of the components of compound sentences without this meaning are connected to each other through intonation. In addition to connect the intonation components in compound sentences in folklore materials, it also serves as an artistic means of decorating their sound and has an important stylistic role, providing easy, concise and emotional expression of thought with colorful colors.

Published: September 2021

Waldstrukturen lassen sich mit Methoden der Fernerkundung über grosse Gebiete erfassen. Dabei haben sich Stereoluftbilder als effiziente Grundlage für die Berechnung von digitalen Oberflächenmodellen erwiesen. Zieht man von diesen Oberflächenmodellen das Geländemodell ab und eliminiert künstliche Objekte, erhält man Vegetationshöhenmodelle. Je nach Auflösung der Luftbilder liefern diese in den Vegetationshöhen mehr oder weniger detaillierte Informationen über die Kronenoberflächen. Um Daten zu früheren Vegetationshöhen zu erhalten, wurden im Schweizerischen Landesforstinventar (LFI) auf Basis analoger Schwarz-Weiss-Luftbilder des Bundesamts für Landestopografie aus den Befliegungskampagnen 1979–1985 und 1990–1998 landesweite digitale Oberflächen- und Vegetationshöhenmodelle erstellt. Anschliessend wurden mit den historischen Vegetationshöhenmodellen (Zeitschnitte 1980 und 1990) und dem aktuellen Vegetationshöhenmodell des LFI (Zeitschnitt 2010) die Höhenveränderungen im Schweizer Wald in einer Auflösung von einer Hektare bestimmt. Anders als im Offenland und im Siedlungsgebiet funktionierte die Bildkorrelation im Wald mit den gescannten Schwarz-Weiss-Luftbildern zufriedenstellend. Über eine Million Hektaren Wald konnten in die Analyse einbezogen werden. Sie zeigt, dass die Vegetationshöhe auf fast einem Drittel der Waldfläche seit den 1980er-Jahren kontinuierlich zugenommen hat. Auf einer nahezu gleich grossen Fläche waren die Höhenveränderungen zwischen den drei Zeitschnitten gegenläufig mit Zunahmen in der einen und Abnahmen in der anderen Periode. Die grössten Höhenveränderungen waren im Mittelland zu verzeichnen, die geringsten auf der Alpensüdseite. Kleinräumige Veränderungen und Änderungen unter dem Kronendach können mit diesen Daten allerdings nicht erkannt werden. Trotzdem erlauben die historischen Vegetationshöhenmodelle einen Blick in die Vergangenheit der Schweizer Waldstrukturen.

Published: September 2021

Há uma discussão reiterada na sociedade de que os jogos virtuais podem influenciar em possíveis comportamentos violentos, levando assim ao cometimento de crimes. O objetivo desse artigo busca demonstrar que essa premissa muitas vezes está embutida com convicções morais e a serviço da mídia sensacionalista, gerando um pânico moral desnecessário em torno dos videogames. Isso gera consequências sobre a perspectiva do direito, onde pela análise de projetos de lei e decisões judiciais proibicionistas será demonstrado como a guerra contra os jogos gera ofensa ao direito fundamental das liberdades de expressão e artística. Ainda por meio de pesquisas cientificas serão abordados argumentos que desmitificam a suposta relação de causa e efeito entre videogames e violência. E por fim serão apresentados os principais benefícios que o uso dos jogos eletrônicos pode trazer, além de um guia para os pais com o objetivo de facilitar a escolha de quais deles seriam mais adequados a seus filhos e como utiliza-los. Para tanto, utilizou-se da seguinte metodologia: abordagem dedutiva e dialética; método de procedimento histórico e estatístico; e a técnica de pesquisa bibliográfica. Concluindo que os games são uma ferramenta útil para a sociedade e não merecem ser criminalizados.

Utility of intestinal intravital microscopy for the study of CNS injury-induced immunodepression syndrome (CIDS)
Authors: Bietar Bashir , Zhou Juan , Lehmann Christian
Published: September 2021

BACKGROUND: Stroke, traumatic brain injury, or other forms of central nervous system (CNS) injury initiate a local inflammatory response. Compensatory anti-inflammatory pathways are activated to limit secondary damage due to inflammation. The associated release of immunosuppressing neuromodulators can result in system-wide immune dysregulation (CNS injury-induced immune-depression syndrome –CIDS). OBJECTIVE: To establish an experimental stroke model where CIDS can be studied by intravital microscopy (IVM). METHODS: We used the photothrombotic stroke (PTS) model in C57BL/6 mice and studied its effects on peripheral immunity following challenge with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Leukocyte activation, as well as capillary perfusion of the microcirculation, were assessed using intestinal intravital microscopy (IVM). RESULTS: PTS caused a significant reduction in the number of adhering leukocytes in submucosal venules of the terminal ileum of mice challenged with LPS compared to LPS-challenged animals without stroke. Leukocyte rolling was also impacted by PTS in the submucosal venules. Following stroke, we also observed decreased mucosal functional capillary density (FCD). CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that PTS with subsequent LPS challenge poses as a viable model to further study CIDS using intravital microscopy of the intestinal microcirculation.
Safety assessment and diagnostic evaluation of patients undergoing contrast-enhanced urosonography in the setting of vesicoureteral reflux confirmation
Authors: Marschner Constantin A. , Schwarze Vincent , Stredele Regina , Froelich Matthias F. , Rübenthaler Johannes , Geyer Thomas , Clevert Dirk-André
Published: September 2021

BACKGROUND: Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) represents a common pediatric anomaly in children with an upper urinary tract infection (UTI) and is defined as a retrograde flow of urine from the bladder into the upper urinary tract. There are many diagnostic options available, including voiding cystourethrography (VCUG) and contrasted-enhanced urosonography (ceVUS). ceVUS combines a diagnostic tool with a high sensitivity and specificity which, according to previous study results, was even shown to be superior to VCUG. Nevertheless, despite the recommendation of the EFSUMB, the ceVUS has not found a widespread use in clinical diagnostics in Europe yet. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between 2016 and 2020, 49 patients with a marked female dominance (n = 37) were included. The youngest patient had an age of 5 months, the oldest patient 60 years. The contrast agent used in ceVUS was SonoVue®, a second-generation blood-pool agent. All examinations were performed and interpreted by a single experienced radiologist (EFSUMB Level 3). RESULTS: The 49 patients included in the study showed no adverse effects. 51% of patients (n = 26) were referred with the initial diagnosis of suspected VUR, while 49% of patients (n = 23) came for follow-up examination or to rule out recurrence of VUR. The vast majority had at least one febrile urinary tract infection in their recent medical history (n = 45; 91,8%). CONCLUSION: ceVUS is an examination method with a low risk profile which represents with its high sensitivity and specificity an excellent diagnostic tool in the evaluation of vesicoureteral reflux, especially in consideration of a generally very young patient cohort.

Published: September 2021

Human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) are a promising cell source to generate the patient-specific lung organoid given their superior differentiation potential. However, the current 3D cell culture approach is tedious and time-consuming with a low success rate and high batch-to-batch variability. Here, we explored the establishment of lung bud organoids by systematically adjusting the initial confluence levels and homogeneity of cell distribution. The efficiency of single cell seeding and clump seeding was compared. Instead of the traditional 3D culture, we established a 2.5D organoid culture to enable the direct monitoring of the internal structure via microscopy. It was found that the cell confluence and distribution prior to induction were two key parameters, which strongly affected hiPSC differentiation trajectories. Lung bud organoids with positive expression of NKX 2.1, in a single-cell seeding group with homogeneously distributed hiPSCs at 70% confluence (SC_70%_hom) or a clump seeding group with heterogeneously distributed cells at 90% confluence (CL_90%_het), can be observed as early as 9 days post induction. These results suggest that a successful lung bud organoid formation with single-cell seeding of hiPSCs requires a moderate confluence and homogeneous distribution of cells, while high confluence would be a prominent factor to promote the lung organoid formation when seeding hiPSCs as clumps. 2.5D organoids generated with defined culture conditions could become a simple, efficient, and valuable tool facilitating drug screening, disease modeling and personalized medicine.

Background: Primary progressive aphasia (PPA) is a neurodegenerative syndrome for which no effective treatment is available. Objective: We aimed to assess the effect of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), using personalized targeting. Methods: We conducted a randomized, double-blind, pilot study of patients with PPA receiving rTMS, with a subgroup of patients receiving active- versus control-site rTMS in a cross-over design. Target for active TMS varied among the cases and was determined during a pre-treatment phase from a list of potential regions. The primary outcome was changes in spontaneous speech (word count). Secondary outcomes included changes in other language tasks, global cognition, global impression of change, neuropsychiatric symptoms, and brain metabolism using FDG-PET. Results: Twenty patients with PPA were enrolled (14 with nonfluent and 6 with semantic variant PPA). For statistical analyses, data for the two variants were combined. Compared to the control group (n = 7), the group receiving active-site rTMS (n = 20) showed improvements in spontaneous speech, other language tasks, patient and caregiver global impression of change, apathy, and depression. This group also showed improvement or stabilization of results obtained in the baseline examination. Increased metabolism was observed in several brain regions after the therapy, particularly in the left frontal and parieto-temporal lobes and in the precuneus and posterior cingulate bilaterally. Conclusion: We found an improvement in language, patient and caregiver perception of change, apathy, and depression using high frequency rTMS. The increase of regional brain metabolism suggests enhancement of synaptic activity with the treatment. Trial registration: NCT03580954 (https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03580954)

Authors: Macpherson Helen , McNaughton Sarah A. , Lamb Karen E. , Milte Catherine M.
Published: September 2021

Background: Higher quality diets may be related to lower dementia rates. Midlife is emerging as a critical life stage for a number of dementia risk factors. Objective: This study examines whether diet quality is related to brain structure during midlife, and if this differs by sex. Methods: This study used data from 19184 UK Biobank participants aged 40–65 years. Diet quality was assessed using three dietary indices including the Mediterranean Diet Score (MDS), Healthy Diet Score (HDS), and Recommended Food Score (RFS). MRI brain measures included total, grey, white and hippocampal volume. Linear regression examined associations between diet quality and brain volume, controlling for potential confounders. Results: Better quality diet across all indices was significantly related to larger grey matter volume: MDS β= 429.7 (95%CI: 65.2, 794.2); HDS β= 700.1 (348.0, 1052.1); and RFS β= 317.1 (106.8, 527.3). Higher diet scores were associated with greater total volume: HDS β= 879.32 (286.13, 1472.50); RFS β= 563.37 (209.10, 917.65); and white matter volume: RFS β= 246.31 (20.56, 472.05), with the exception of Mediterranean diet adherence. Healthy eating guidelines and dietary variety associations with total and grey matter volume were more prominent in men. Conclusion: Findings suggest that diet quality is associated with brain structure during midlife, potentially decades prior to the onset of dementia.
Developing Glasgow Accord for COP-26 Using Game Theory
Authors: Nirwan  , Reddy Yamini M. , Rajeev R.
Published: September 2021

The UNFCCC hosted its 25th convention, known as COP25, which cannot be considered to be a success among the climate change conferences due to the failure of 175 nations to agree upon the final details of the Paris Agreement proposed in 2015. The aim was to bring together nations across the globe and reduce the global temperature rise to 2°C, which was expected to be around 4.5°C to 6°C. The justifications for the incompetence can be attributed to a variety of aspects, including their inability to implement the intended nationally determined contributions (INDC). Since there is no overall governing body that can ensure strong implementation of the accords, the system needs to be self-regulatory without any vulnerability to international politics. This study develops a series of factors that can be considered for decision making, benefiting and rewarding to assure complete self-governance of these nations on the said climate accord, without making it vulnerable to the political relations among nations. This study uses pre-defined elements of Game Theory in order to achieve the required equilibrium, as a base for understanding decision making and proposing a possible system to create an acceptable result for the member nations.
Accurate mining of location data in the communication field based on big data
Authors: Cai Guanqun
Published: September 2021

In order to extract value from data, data mining and data software technology are widely used in the industry. This study mainly discusses the precise mining of location data in communication field based on big data. Signaling preprocessing layer mainly obtains signaling message through acquisition module, filters FISU message in signaling message, judges abnormal message frame, and stamp it with time stamp, which provides effective data source for next processing. Signaling access layer mainly completes the function of signaling link access, mainly using high resistance jumper technology, time slot convergence technology, optical access technology and 155mdxc conversion technology to access 2 m link and 155 m link respectively. The signaling collection module must collect directly or via a link through DXC in order to reach the front-end data collection machine and access the signaling collection module of the front-end machine. The Signaling Collection Module also completes some of the message processing work. The presentation layer is the window of human-computer interaction of the whole system, which presents to users with friendly interface and perfect functions. The main goal of real-time big data analysis is to obtain signaling data sent by signaling acquisition system, and screen out the effective information in signaling data according to monitoring conditions, and then analyze the final real-time monitoring results. Geographic information module provides visual map control for the regional monitoring big data analysis module. The difficulty of system development can be reduced by using the existing WebGIS map toolkit. When the call from the Customs Bureau of Unicom in different cities is called into the mobile gateway Bureau, the call is rejected by the mobile customs bureau. The call time is 0 seconds, of which the interception success rate is up to 90% within 1 s. This research is of great significance for the better development and maintenance of signaling network and monitoring system.
A complete robust control network based on skewed temporal logic
Authors: Li Liuxing
Published: September 2021

The robust control network for nonlinear large-scale systems with parametric uncertainties also considers the uncertain robust stabilization problem for controlled networks. In heterogeneous populations, hybrid regression models are the most important statistical analysis tools. To aim of the study is to conduct a more in-depth analysis of the existing completive robust control networks relying on biased temporal logic. Compared with the symmetric distribution, the skewed distribution can obtain accurate and effective information. Therefore, a time-series logic model under skewed distribution is proposed. The temporal logic under skew state is applied to describe the normative language of fuzzy systems. Firstly, the mixed nonlinear regression model under skewed distribution data is introduced to test whether the temporal logic formula can be realized under the skew state. Secondly, through the method of reduction, the control flow interval logic CFITL is studied, and the time series logic sequence is used to describe the measurement output loss. The sufficient conditions for the control network system to satisfy the exponential stability and H ∞ performance index are given. The linear matrix inequality obtains the completeness control network to be designed, and the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by stochastic simulation experiments. Finally, the method is verified to be practical and feasible based on actual data. The maximum recognition rates of nearest neighbor classification, nearest subspace classification and biased distribution temporal logic classification reached 0.9019, 0.9622 and 0.9304, respectively.

With the development of society and the Internet and the advent of the cloud era, people began to pay attention to big data. The background of big data brings opportunities and challenges to the research of urban intelligent transportation networks. Urban transportation system is one of the important foundations for maintaining urban operation. The rapid development of the city has brought tremendous pressure on the traffic, and the congestion of urban traffic has restricted the healthy development of the city. Therefore, how to improve the urban transportation network model and improve transportation and transportation has become an urgent problem to be solved in urban development. Specific patterns hidden in large-scale crowd movements can be studied through transportation networks such as subway networks to explore urban subway transportation modes to support corresponding decisions in urban planning, transportation planning, public health, social networks, and so on. Research on urban subway traffic patterns is crucial. At the same time, a correct understanding of the behavior patterns and laws of residents’ travel is a key factor in solving urban traffic problems. Therefore, this paper takes the metro operation big data as the background, takes the passenger travel behavior in the urban subway transportation system as the research object, uses the behavior entropy to measure the human behavior, and actively explores the urban subway traffic mode based on the metro passenger behavior entropy in the context of big data. At the same time, the congestion degree of the subway station is analyzed, and the redundancy time optimization model of the subway train stop is established to improve the efficiency of the subway operation, so as to provide important and objective data and theoretical support for the traveler, planner and decision maker. Compared to the operation graph without redundant time, the total travel time optimization effect of passengers is 7.74%, and the waiting time optimization effect of passengers is 6.583%.
Negative-supervised capsule graph neural network for few-shot text classification

Published: September 2021

Few-shot text classification aims to learn a classifier from very few labeled text data. Existing studies on this topic mainly adopt prototypical networks and focus on interactive information between support set and query instances to learn generalized class prototypes. However, in the process of encoding, these methods only pay attention to the matching information between support set and query instances, and ignore much useful information about intra-class similarity and inter-class dissimilarity between all support samples. Therefore, in this paper we propose a negative-supervised capsule graph neural network (NSCGNN) which explicitly takes use of the similarity and dissimilarity between samples to make the text representations of the same type closer with each other and the ones of different types farther away, leading to representative and discriminative class prototypes. We firstly construct a graph to obtain text representations in the form of node capsules, where both intra-cluster similarity and inter-cluster dissimilarity between all samples are explored with information aggregation and negative supervision. Then, in order to induce generalized class prototypes based on those node capsules obtained from graph neural network, the dynamic routing algorithm is utilized in our model. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed NSCGNN model, which outperforms existing few-shot approaches on three benchmark datasets.

Click-through rate (CTR) prediction, which aims to predict the probability of a user clicking on an ad, is a critical task in online advertising systems. The problem is very challenging since(1) an effective prediction relies on high-order combinatorial features, and(2)the relationship to auxiliary ads that may impact the CTR. In this paper, we propose Deep Context Interaction Network on Attention Mechanism(DCIN-Attention) to process feature interaction and context at the same time. The context includes other ads in the current search page, historically clicked and unclicked ads of the user. Specifically, we use the attention mechanism to learn the interactions between the target ad and each type of auxiliary ad. The residual network is used to model the feature interactions in the low-dimensional space, and with the multi-head self-attention neural network, high-order feature interactions can be modeled. Experimental results on Avito dataset show that DCIN outperform several existing methods for CTR prediction.

In the intelligent unmanned systems, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) obstacle avoidance technology is the core and primary condition. Traditional algorithms are not suitable for obstacle avoidance in complex and changeable environments based on the limited sensors on UAVs. In this article, we use an end-to-end deep reinforcement learning (DRL) algorithm to achieve the UAV autonomously avoid obstacles. For the problem of slow convergence in DRL, a Multi-Branch (MB) network structure is proposed to ensure that the algorithm can get good performance in the early stage; for non-optimal decision-making problems caused by overestimation, the Revise Q-value (RQ) algorithm is proposed to ensure that the agent can choose the optimal strategy for obstacle avoidance. According to the flying characteristics of the rotor UAV, we build a V-Rep 3D physical simulation environment to test the obstacle avoidance performance. And experiments show that the improved algorithm can accelerate the convergence speed of agent and the average return of the round is increased by 25%.

BACKGROUND: The work environment is a place in which different kinds of interpersonal relationships are developed and can contribute positively or negatively to productivity and to workers’ well-being. Discussion on this topic may contribute to building more coping strategies to fight against gender inequality and the emotional repercussions of these conditions. OBJECTIVE: This is a cross-sectional study that investigated the possible influence of work environment relationships on the mental health of Brazilian seamstresses. METHODS: The participants were seamstresses from four clothing factories in a city in the southwest of Brazil. For data collection, we used the Social Support Perception at Work Scale; Self-Report Questionnaire; Alcohol, Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening Test; and a focus group. The quantitative data were statistically analyzed, and data from the focus groups were analyzed using content analysis. RESULTS: Interpersonal relationships at work were mentioned as sources of conflict and stress but also as emotional and material social support providers. In the sample studied, these relationships did not influence directly the development of mental health disorders. CONCLUSIONS: Study results suggest that a low level of education is an important factor that increases the vulnerability of these women to the precariousness of work, and, consequently to developing mental health symptoms or aggravating previous mental health distress. However, emotional and material support from peers likely protects these workers’ mental health.
Gemeinwohldienst oder Gratisarbeit?

Ausgehend von einer qualitativen Studie zu Freiwilligenarbeit im Strukturwandel des Wohlfahrtsstaats entwickelt der Beitrag die Diagnose einer Verzivilgesellschaftlichung der sozialen Frage, die auf die Aktivierung nicht-erwerbsförmiger Sorgetätigkeiten im Rahmen einer sozialpolitischen Gabenökonomie zielt. Eingebettet in konzeptionelle Überlegungen zur Bedeutung von Freiwilligenarbeit werden empirische Beispiele für die tragende Rolle von Freiwilligenarbeit präsentiert, um sodann die Ermöglichungsbedingungen ihrer staatlichen Indienstnahme auszuloten und die politische Ökonomie von Freiwilligenarbeit im Gegenwartskapitalismus in den Blick zu nehmen.
Ländliche Entwicklung auf der Basis erneuerbarer Energien?
Authors: Rudolph David , Tolnov Clausen Laura
Published: September 2021

Ländliche Regionen erlangen verstärkt Bedeutung als Schauplätze der Energiewende, wobei eine dezentrale Nutzbarmachung von erneuerbaren Energien oftmals als Chance für die Entwicklung strukturschwacher Räume angesehen wird. Anhand eines Beispiels von umkämpften Windparkprojekten in Schottland argumentieren wir, dass das emanzipatorische Potenzial stark vom gemeinschaftlichen Eigentum an den Infrastrukturen der Energieversorgung geprägt ist, während neoliberale Politik vermehrt die radikaldemokratischen Prinzipien alternativer Energieprojekte untergräbt.
