Tujuan penelitian adalah mengidentifikasi keramahan alat tangkap jaring insang terhadap aktifitas penangkapan ikan payangka di Danau Bolano Sau melalui kajian sex ratio dan ukuran pertama kali matang gonad. Penelitian dilakukan di perairan Danau Bolano Sau pada bulan  Agustus  sampai Desember 2019. Sampel ikan payangka diperoleh dari hasil tangkapan nelayan yang menggunakan jaring insang dengan mesh size 3½ inchi. Analisis sampel dilakukan di Laboratorium Kualitas Air, Sekolah Tinggi Perikanan dan Kelautan, Palu. Perbedaan sex ratio ikan payangka menggunakan uji Chi-square sedangkan ukuran pertama kali matang gonad diduga berdasarkan metode Spearman–Karber. Ikan payangka yang tertangkap dengan jaring insang di Danau Bolano Sau berukuran 79-163 mm. Sex ratio antara jantan dan betina tidak seimbang dimana jantan lebih dominan daripada betina. Ukuran pertama kali matang gonad sebesar 119, 19 mm. Sehingga disarankan ukuran layak tangkap ikan payangka > 120 mm. Penggunaan jaring insang dalam aktifitas penangkapan ikan payangka berpengaruh terhadap keseimbangan populasi jantan dan betina namun sangat selektif terhadap ukuran.

Published: July 2022

We construct a sequence of linear positive operators by means of the
Erkus- Srivastava multivariable polynomials which include q- Lagrange
polynomial operators discussed in [5] and the Lagrange Hermite
polynomial operators considered in [1]. We study the Korovkin type
theorems for the constructed operators by using summability techniques
of statistical convergence and the power series method. We also define a
k-th order Taylor generalization of the multivariable polynomials
operator and investigate the approximation of k-th times continuously
differentiable Lipschitz class elements.

Published: July 2022

Aims Protein kinase inhibitors (PKI) have revolutionized the prognosis
of several types of cancer, justifying the acceleration of their
clinical evaluation before they obtain marketing authorization.
Pharmacovigilance signals of heart failure (HF) following exposure to
PKIs have been detected in recent years. Our objective was to identify
the PKIs most frequently associated with the development of HF. Methods
Using the French National Healthcare Database, all patients newly
exposed to a PKI between January 2011 and June 2014 were followed up for
18 months. Specific hospitalisation diagnosis and long-term disease
codes related to HF were used to identify HF patients. HF Incidence Rate
Ratios (IRR) were measured and adjusted Hazard Ratios (aHR) were
estimated using a Cox model. Results Thirteen PKIs were studied. Among
the 49,714 new PKI users during the study period, the mean IRR of HF was
3.38 per 100 person-years, with a median time to onset of 155 days. We
found a significant increase in the incidence of HF for 6 drugs:
pazopanib (aHR= 2.42, 95% CI: 1.67-3.52), dasatinib (aHR= 2.22, 95%
CI: 1.42-3.44), ruxolitinib (aHR= 2.11, 95% CI: 1.69-2.64), crizotinib
(aHR= 1.71, 95% CI: 1.07-2.72), everolimus (aHR= 1.45, 95% CI:
1.26-1.67) and vemurafenib (aHR= 1.37, 95% CI: 1.01-1.86). Conclusions
Our study provides knowledge on HF following exposure to a PKI.
Additional studies could confirm these results for dasatinib,
everolimus, pazopanib and ruxolitinib, and particularly for the two
drugs with results slightly above the significance threshold, crizotinib
and vemurafenib in our sensitivity analyses.
Supercapacitive properties of the alkali metal hydroxides-activated carbons obtained from sucrose
Authors: Kosevic Milica , Krstic Sanja , Panic Vladimir , Nikolic Branislav
Published: July 2022

The influence of different hydroxides, applied to activate carbon black, on
the electrochemical properties of activated carbon was investigated. The
carbon material was prepared by hydrothermal treatment of sucrose and
afterwards thermally activated using KOH, NaOH and LiOH. The electrochemical
properties of the obtained samples were examined by cyclic voltammetry and
electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and correlated to their
physicochemical properties. All samples showed characteristic capacitor-like
behaviour. The highest specific capacitance was obtained for the KOH-treated
sample, while the increase in capacitance follows the sequence of the growth
of ionic radius of a metal from an alkali which is used for activation. It
was found that the dependence on the type of hydroxide is due to differences
in the radii of a metal. The alkalies of larger radii of metal generated
make pores wider and consequently the structure of a porous layer become
more accessible to the charge transfer of capacitive response.
The impact of body mass index on the results of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction
Authors: Ristic Vladimir , Sumar Vesna , Rasovic Predrag , Milankov Vukadin
Published: July 2022

Introduction. The aim of the study was to determine the quality of life among
groups with different body mass index after anterior cruciate ligament
reconstruction. Material and Methods. The study included 510 patients who
underwent surgery 95% were athletes, 81% were males, with an average age of
27 years. The body mass index was calculated for all patients, and the
quality of life was evaluated using the Knee Osteoarthritis Outcome Score.
Results and Discussion. The mean body mass index was 24.65, with the highest
percentage of normal weight athletes (59%). The body mass index is inversely
proportional to the Knee Osteoarthritis Outcome Score, so obese patients
have a poorer quality of life (p = 0.003). Men have a higher mean body mass
index (25.21) than women (22.26). The mean body mass index increases with
age, whereas recreational athletes and non-athletes have an increased mean
body mass index. The correlation between the body mass index and the level
of sports activity is significant, so higher body mass index is associated
with lower Tegner score. The body mass index is not a significant factor for
re-injury and revision reconstruction, since it does not differ
significantly among patients with revision and primary anterior cruciate
ligament reconstruction. The majority of patients (91.0%) rated their
general health as much better than before surgery, and 67.6% of patients
with an ideal body mass index thought that surgery did not affect their
quality of life at all. Conclusion. The hypothesis that persons with
increased body mass index (above 25) have a lower quality of life after
anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction compared to persons with ideal
body mass index (below 25) was confirmed.
The finance-growth nexus in the age of financialisation: An empirical reassessment for the European Union countries
Authors: Barradas Ricardo
Published: July 2022

This paper draws an empirical reassessment of the finance-growth nexus by performing a panel data econometric analysis for all 28 European Union countries over 27 years from 1990 to 2016. Since the mid-1980s, the financial system has experienced a strong liberalisation and deregulation by preventing its beneficial effects on the real economy. This phenomenon, typically called financialisation, points to a negative view of finance and contradicts the well-entrenched hypothesis on the finance-growth nexus. We estimate both linear and non-linear growth models by incorporating seven proxies of finance (money supply, domestic credit, financial value added, short-term interest rate, long-term interest rate, stock market volume traded and stock market capitalisation) and five control variables (the lagged growth rate of the real per capita gross domestic product, the inflation rate, the general government consumption, the degree of trade openness and the education level of the population). Our results show that finance has impaired economic growth in the EU countries, both in the precrisis period and in the crisis and post-crisis periods. The enormous growth of domestic credit and of the financial value added have been restraining the economic growth of the EU countries since 1990 and particularly up until the Great Recession. This implies the need to reduce the prominence of finance, i.e. socalled definancialisation, in the coming years in order to avoid the potential new ?secular stagnation? in the current age of financialisation.
Clinical-parasitological and epidemiological review of the nematode Acanthocheilonema reconditum
Authors: Jovanovic Nemanja , Despotovic Darko , Stepanovic Predrag , Rajkovic Milan , Ilic Tamara
Published: July 2022

Acanthocheilonema (Dipetalonema) reconditum is a less pathogenic species of filaria from the superfamily Filarioidea, and which parasitizes in the subcutaneous connective tissue of dogs, hyenas and jackals. The results of epidemiological studies indicate the zoonotic potential of A. reconditum, bearing in mind it can cause infections with clinical disorders in humans. This filaria is spread globally and it is mostly described in geographical areas such as the Mediterranean Basin, the Middle East, South Africa, South America and Oceania, where it is the only or is the most common filaria that infects dogs. The prevalence and distribution of A. reconditum depend mainly on the vector population, impact of environmental factors, and lifestyle of pets and their owners. Apart from the standard parasitological techniques for differential diagnostics of filariae, more attention is being dedicated to the development of protocols that are based on the simultaneous detection of specific DNA regions in each type of individual filaria. Due to its importance for public health, effective vector control is required, as well as regular preventive examinations, reliable diagnostics and therapy for A. reconditum in dogs, and continuous cooperation between veterinary and medical surgeons.
Management’s Reporting Motives and the Leniency of Auditors’ Internal Control Evaluations: The Role of Organizational Identification and Auditor-Type
Authors: Commerford Benjamin P. , Mullis Curtis , Stefaniak Chad M.
Published: July 2022

In a quasi-experiment with external (EA), in-house internal (IIA), and outsourced internal auditors (OIA) as participants in their natural roles, we compare auditors’ internal control evaluations in the presence of differing management reporting motives. Grounded in Organizational Identity (OID) Theory, we find EAs’ evaluations are more (less) lenient when management’s motive is less (more) self-serving. We provide evidence that management’s motives affect EAs’ evaluations because management is a conduit for EAs’ OID and because EAs adopt an affiliative protective orientation. In contrast, we find no evidence management’s motives affect IIAs’ evaluations or that management is an OID conduit for IIAs. Finally, we find that although OIAs and IIAs exhibit similar OID levels, on average, OIAs’ evaluations are more lenient than IIAs’. Our results clarify how auditors form OID, how it manifests into protective behaviors, and suggest EAs’ preference to rely on OIAs’ work over IIAs’ may inadvertently diminish audit quality.

Published: July 2022

OBJECTIVE

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a liver phenotype of type 2 diabetes and obesity. Currently, the efficacy of sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors and sulfonylureas in liver pathology and hepatic gene expression profiles for type 2 diabetes with NAFLD are unknown.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

We conducted a 48 week, randomized, open-label, parallel-group trial involving participants with biopsy-confirmed NAFLD. A total of 40 participants were randomly assigned to receive once daily 20 mg tofogliflozin or 0.5 mg glimepiride. The primary outcome was the percentage of participants with at least an improvement in all individual scores for histological categories of steatosis, hepatocellular ballooning, lobular inflammation, and fibrosis by at least 1 point. The secondary end points were the changes in liver enzymes, metabolic markers, and hepatic gene expression profiles.

RESULTS

Fibrosis scores improved in the tofogliflozin group (60%, P = 0.001), whereas the change from baseline did not differ significantly between the groups (P = 0.172). The histological variables of steatosis (65%, P = 0.001), hepatocellular ballooning (55%, P = 0.002), and lobular inflammation (50%, P = 0.003) were improved in the tofogliflozin group, whereas only hepatocellular ballooning was improved in the glimepiride group (25%, P = 0.025). Hepatic gene expression profiling revealed histology-associated signatures in energy metabolism, inflammation, and fibrosis that were reversed with tofogliflozin.

CONCLUSIONS

Tofogliflozin and, to a lesser degree, glimepiride led to liver histological and metabolic improvement in participants with type 2 diabetes and NAFLD, with no significant difference between the agents. The hepatic expression of the genes involved in energy metabolism, inflammation, and fibrosis was well correlated with liver histological changes and rescued by tofogliflozin. We need further confirmation through long-term larger-scale clinical trials of SGLT2 inhibitors.

Published: July 2022

Peristomal pyoderma gangrenosum (PPG) is an uncommon subtype of pyoderma gangrenosum. We describe a 74-year-old woman without inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) who developed PG around the jejunostomy and was successfully treated with cyclosporine. In our case, irritations by a lumbar corset and repeated sutures around the jejunostomy seemed to have caused pathergy reaction. It is noteworthy that 20% of PPG patients do not have IBD and therefore patients presenting PPG without IBD should not be overlooked.
Influence of displacement ventilation on the distribution of pollutant concentrations in livestock housing
Authors: Ruifeng Zhang , Hao Wang , Zhenjun Xu
Published: July 2022

Under replacement ventilation conditions, a simplified physical model of a tall space (livestock house) was established using ProSim software, and the relevant boundary conditions were set. The airflow size and direction distribution under different air supply and exhaust airflow conditions were obtained by slicing, and the simulation results showed that appropriately increasing the air supply and exhaust airflow helps to increase the pollutant emission rate so that pollutants can be discharged in time, but when the air supply and exhaust airflow were increased to a certain extent, these will cause the airflow vortex phenomenon near the pollutant source, which will enhance the mixing effect of pollutants and surrounding air, making up the pollutant concentration also. The study found that when the indoor air supply and exhaust air volume is increased by 45 times/h, the replacement ventilation effect is optimal and the indoor pollutant concentration is the lowest.

Published: July 2022

Nowadays, intensive rivalry forces enterprises and brands to strive for differentiation. Use of marketing strategies, which can allure the consumers, effectively is one of the ways of differing oneself from one's rivals. Sensory marketing strategy, which affects the buying behavior and perception of consumers by alluring their senses, is one the marketing strategies whose importance and use have increased in recent years. This strategy also has been intensively used by enterprises that produce and market clothing products, which are one of the basic needs of consumers. In this context, this research study aims to analyze the effects of sensory marketing on clothing-buying behavior. The research aims to reveal how consumers in Turkey, which is one of the leading global clothing exporters and at the same time which is one of the significant markets, are affected by sensory marketing factors during the clothing purchase process. In accordance with the aim of the research, a survey was conducted of consumers who live in the three biggest cities of Turkey and whose ages are 18 and over. The data, which were obtained from field research, were analyzed statistically and suggestions are made to enterprises and brands that produce clothing products and/or market clothing products, on the basis of the study's findings.
The role of foreign aid in the transformation of Iraq's society and economy
Authors: Jaber Hadi
Published: July 2022

Foreign aid helps in transforming nations and ensuring that they attain economic development. Foreign aid levels in Iraq are higher than those of its oil-producing neighbors due to numerous factors that are discussed in the present study. Iraq is the second largest oil producer in the Middle East after Saudi Arabia, but some activities within the country have curtailed development, leaving it at the mercy of foreign nations and investors. The present study aims to evaluate the level of foreign aid in Iraq, comparing it to its oil-rich neighbors. It highlights various factors that have increased Iraq's dependence on foreign aid and the role and management of this assistance. The article shows how negative factors like war, poor governance, and corruption have contributed to the over-reliance on foreign aid, in spite of Iraqbeing endowed with natural resources. The qualitative evaluation of the development of Iraq's oil aid reveals that continued reliance on foreign aid will jeopardizes the country's economic development.
Behavior of Vertically Confined Square Footing on Reinforced Sand under Centric Inclined Loading
Authors: Kirtimayee B. , Samadhiya Narendra Kumar
Published: July 2022

This study presents the behavior of vertically confined square footing on geogrid-reinforced sand under centric inclined loading through a series of experimental tests. The load was applied at 5°, 10° and 20° angles of inclination with the vertical. The tests were conducted on surface footing, footing with confiner and footing with confiner and horizontal reinforcement configurations subjected to inclined loading. Parametric variations like depth of the confiner (d=1B, 1.5B, 2B), number of geogrid layers (N; varies with variation in depth of confiner), and spacing between horizontal reinforcements (Y=0.25B, 0.5B, 0.75B, 1B) have been investigated at the top surface dimension of confiner (D) as 1.0B, 1.5B and 2.0B (where B is the width of the model footing). Results show that combined effect of confiner and horizontal reinforcement increases the ultimate bearing capacity of footing significantly compared to only confiner for all angle of inclinations. It can also be observed that load bearing capacities decrease with increase in angles of inclination and record the minimum improvement at 20° angle of inclination. Improvement in bearing capacities and reduction in settlement of footing analyzed in terms of bearing capacity ratio (BCR) and settlement reduction factor (SRF) are compared for all footing configurations. To summarize, the test results showed that confiner along with reinforcement can be considered as an economic ground improvement technique for shallow foundations to counter against heavily inclined loading.

The article is an attempt to draw attention to the intention of the Ministry of Family and Social Policy to shape its own legal policy with regard to the ability of the officials of the Social Insurance Institution (ZUS) to obtain information about individuals subject to official control. Within the proposed changes to Art. 61a of the Act of 25 June 1999 on cash benefits from social insurance in the event of sickness and maternity (Journal of Laws 1999, 60.636, as amended), the Ministry, not taking into account the requirement to ensure the existence of constitutionally guaranteed rights and freedoms, consciously shapes the law positive for full-range surveillance of every person covered by the interest of ZUS. In such circumstances, after adopting the amendments by the Polish Parliament (Sejm), ZUS will be included in the group of law enforcement authorities, as the scope of powers and possibilities its officials in the field have of obtaining information will be unlimited.

Background: Epilepsy is a neurological condition marked by unpredictably disrupted brain activity known as epileptic seizures. In Saudi Arabia, the prevalence of epilepsy is 6.5 per 1,000. The Saudi community has a low level of awareness regarding epilepsy.
Objective: To assess the awareness, knowledge, and attitudes regarding epilepsy in the Eastern region of Saudi Arabia.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among people who lived in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia. Data were collected through a self-administered questionnaire that was distributed via social media.
Results: A total of 448 responses were received. Participants fulfilling the inclusion criteria completed the study questionnaire. Only 111 (24.8%) participants had good knowledge level regarding epilepsy and its treatment. Good attitude was detected among 50.3% of female participants as compared to 43.1% of males (p = 0.049). Also, 49.5% of participants who had heard or read about disease had good attitude towards epilepsy.
Conclusion: Only one-quarter of the participants in the present survey had sufficient level of knowledge about epilepsy and its treatment.
Rediscovering Argumentation Principles Utilizing Collective Attacks
Authors: Dvořák Wolfgang , König Matthias , Ulbricht Markus , Woltran Stefan
Published: July 2022

Argumentation Frameworks (AFs) are a key formalism in AI research. Their semantics have been investigated in terms of principles, which define characteristic properties in order to deliver guidance for analysing established and developing new semantics. Because of the simple structure of AFs, many desired properties hold almost trivially, at the same time hiding interesting concepts behind syntactic notions. We extend the principle-based approach to Argumentation Frameworks with Collective Attacks (SETAFs) and provide a comprehensive overview of common principles for their semantics. Our analysis shows that investigating principles based on decomposing the given SETAF (e.g. directionality or SCC-recursiveness) poses additional challenges in comparison to usual AFs. We introduce the notion of the reduct as well as the modularization principle for SETAFs which will prove beneficial for this kind of investigation. We then demonstrate how our findings can be utilized for incremental computation of extensions and give a novel parameterized tractability result for verifying preferred extensions.
Public and Private Affairs in Strategic Reasoning

Do agents know each others’ strategies? In multi-process software construction, each process has access to the processes already constructed; but in typical human-robot interactions, a human may not announce its strategy to the robot (indeed, the human may not even know their own strategy). This question has often been overlooked when modeling and reasoning about multi-agent systems. In this work, we study how it impacts strategic reasoning.

To do so we consider Strategy Logic (SL), a well-established and highly expressive logic for strategic reasoning. Its usual semantics, which we call “white-box semantics”, models systems in which agents “broadcast” their strategies. By adding imperfect information to the evaluation games for the usual semantics, we obtain a new semantics called “black-box semantics”, in which agents keep their strategies private. We consider the model-checking problem and show that the black-box semantics has much lower complexity than white-box semantics for an important fragment of Strategy Logic.
The More the Worst-Case-Merrier: A Generalized Condorcet Jury Theorem for Belief Fusion
Authors: Karge Jonas , Rudolph Sebastian
Published: July 2022

In multi-agent belief fusion, there is increasing interest in results and methods from social choice theory.
As a theoretical cornerstone, the Condorcet Jury Theorem (CJT) states that given a number of equally competent, independent agents where each is more likely to guess the true out of two alternatives, the chances of determining this objective truth by majority voting increase with the number of participating agents, approaching certainty. Past generalizations of the CJT have shown that some of its underlying assumptions can be weakened. Motivated by requirements from practical belief fusion scenarios, we provide a significant further generalization that subsumes several of the previous ones. Our considered setting simultaneously allows for heterogeneous competence levels across the agents (even tolerating entirely incompetent or even malicious voters), and voting for any number of alternatives from a finite set. We derive practical lower bounds for the numbers of agents needed to give probabilistic guarantees for determining the true state through approval voting. We also demonstrate that the non-asymptotic part of the CJT fails in our setting for arbitrarily high numbers of voters.
Computing Stable Conclusions under the Weakest-Link Principle in the ASPIC+ Argumentation Formalism
Authors: Lehtonen Tuomo , Wallner Johannes P. , Järvisalo Matti
Published: July 2022

Rephrasing argumentation semantics in terms of subsets of defeasible elements allows for gaining new insights for reasoning about acceptance in established fragments of the central structured argumentation formalism of ASPIC+. We provide a non-trivial generalization of these recent results, capturing preferences in ASPIC+. In particular, considering preferences under the weakest-link principle, we show that the stable semantics can be phrased in terms of subsets of defeasible elements. We employ the rephrasing for establishing both complexity results and practical algorithms for reasoning about acceptance in this variant of ASPIC+. Justified by completeness for the second level of the polynomial hierarchy, we develop an iterative answer set solving based approach to reasoning about acceptance under the so-called elitist lifting in ASPIC+ frameworks. Our implementation of the approach scales well in practice.
Automating Reasoning with Standpoint Logic via Nested Sequents
Authors: Lyon Tim S. , Gómez Álvarez Lucía
Published: July 2022

Standpoint logic is a recently proposed formalism in the context of knowledge integration, which advocates a multi-perspective approach permitting reasoning with a selection of diverse and possibly conflicting standpoints rather than forcing their unification. In this paper, we introduce nested sequent calculi for propositional standpoint logics---proof systems that manipulate trees whose nodes are multisets of formulae---and show how to automate standpoint reasoning by means of non-deterministic proof-search algorithms. To obtain worst-case complexity-optimal proof-search, we introduce a novel technique in the context of nested sequents, referred to as "coloring," which consists of taking a formula as input, guessing a certain coloring of its subformulae, and then running proof-search in a nested sequent calculus on the colored input. Our technique lets us decide the validity of standpoint formulae in CoNP since proof-search only produces a partial proof relative to each permitted coloring of the input. We show how all partial proofs can be fused together to construct a complete proof when the input is valid, and how certain partial proofs can be transformed into a counter-model when the input is invalid. These "certificates" (i.e. proofs and counter-models) serve as explanations of the (in)validity of the input.
Kernel Contraction and the Order of Relevance
Authors: Ribeiro Jandson S.
Published: July 2022

The postulate of relevance provides a suitable and general notion of minimal change for belief contraction. Relevance is tightly connected to smooth kernel contractions when an agent's epistemic state is represented as a logically closed set of formulae.
This connection, however, breaks down when an agent's epistemic state is represented as a set of formulae not necessarily logically closed.
We investigate the cause behind this schism, and we reconnect relevance with smooth kernel contractions by constraining the behaviour of their choice mechanisms and epistemic preference relations.
Our first representation theorem connects smooth kernel contractions with a novel class of epistemic preference relations.
For our second representation theorem, we introduce the principle of symmetry of removal that relates relevance to epistemic choices.
For the last theorem, we devise a novel class of smooth kernel contractions, that satisfy relevance, which are based on epistemic preference relations that capture the principle of symmetry of removal.
Hyperintensional Partial Meet Contractions
Authors: Souza Marlo , Wassermann Renata
Published: July 2022

Formal frameworks for Epistemology need to have enough logical structure to enable interesting conclusions regarding epistemic phenomena and to be expressive enough to model competing positions in the philosophical and logical literature. While beliefs are commonly accepted as hyperintensional attitudes, i.e., epistemic attitudes, which may differ even towards necessarily equivalent sentences, most work on standard epistemic logic has relied on idealised and intensional agents. This is particularly true in the area of AGM-inspired Belief Change. Although a few recent studies investigate hyperintensional models of belief change, few have been well connected to the AGM framework, the main paradigm in the area. This work investigates hyperintensional notions of belief base contraction and belief set contraction, as studied in the AGM framework, and its connections to partial meet contractions. We also provide suitable representation theorems, characterising the constructions by means of rationality postulates.
Embed2Sym - Scalable Neuro-Symbolic Reasoning via Clustered Embeddings
Authors: Aspis Yaniv , Broda Krysia , Lobo Jorge , Russo Alessandra
Published: July 2022

Neuro-symbolic reasoning approaches proposed in recent years combine a neural perception component with a symbolic reasoning component to solve a downstream task. By doing so, these approaches can provide neural networks with symbolic reasoning capabilities, improve their interpretability and enable generalization beyond the training task. However, this often comes at the cost of poor training time, with potential scalability issues. In this paper, we propose a scalable neuro-symbolic approach, called Embed2Sym. We complement a two-stage (perception and reasoning) neural network architecture designed to solve a downstream task end-to-end with a symbolic optimisation method for extracting learned latent concepts. Specifically, the trained perception network generates clusters in embedding space that are identified and labelled using symbolic knowledge and a symbolic solver. With the latent concepts identified, a neuro-symbolic model is constructed by combining the perception network with the symbolic knowledge of the downstream task, resulting in a model that is interpretable and transferable. Our evaluation shows that Embed2Sym outperforms state-of-the-art neuro-symbolic systems on benchmark tasks in terms of training time by several orders of magnitude while providing similar if not better accuracy.
