Improving Moderator Responsiveness in Online Peer Support Through Automated Triage (Preprint)
Authors: Milne David N , McCabe Kathryn L. , Calvo Rafael A.
Published: July 2018

BACKGROUND

Online peer support forums require oversight to ensure they remain safe and therapeutic. As online communities grow, they place a greater burden on their human moderators, which increases the likelihood that people at risk may be overlooked. This study evaluated the potential for machine learning to assist online peer support by directing moderators’ attention where it is most needed.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of an automated triage system and the extent to which it influences moderator behavior.

METHODS

A machine learning classifier was trained to prioritize forum messages as green, amber, red, or crisis depending on how urgently they require attention from a moderator. This was then launched as a set of widgets injected into a popular online peer support forum hosted by ReachOut.com, an Australian Web-based youth mental health service that aims to intervene early in the onset of mental health problems in young people. The accuracy of the system was evaluated using a holdout test set of manually prioritized messages. The impact on moderator behavior was measured as response ratio and response latency, that is, the proportion of messages that receive at least one reply from a moderator and how long it took for these replies to be made. These measures were compared across 3 periods: before launch, after an informal launch, and after a formal launch accompanied by training.

RESULTS

The algorithm achieved 84% f-measure in identifying content that required a moderator response. Between prelaunch and post-training periods, response ratios increased by 0.9, 4.4, and 10.5 percentage points for messages labelled as crisis, red, and green, respectively, but decreased by 5.0 percentage points for amber messages. Logistic regression indicated that the triage system was a significant contributor to response ratios for green, amber, and red messages, but not for crisis messages. Response latency was significantly reduced (P<.001), between the same periods, by factors of 80%, 80%, 77%, and 12% for crisis, red, amber, and green messages, respectively. Regression analysis indicated that the triage system made a significant and unique contribution to reducing the time taken to respond to green, amber, and red messages, but not to crisis messages, after accounting for moderator and community activity.

CONCLUSIONS

The triage system was generally accurate, and moderators were largely in agreement with how messages were prioritized. It had a modest effect on response ratios, primarily because moderators were already more likely to respond to high priority content before the introduction of triage. However, it significantly and substantially reduced the time taken for moderators to respond to prioritized content. Further evaluations are needed to assess the impact of mistakes made by the triage algorithm and how changes to moderator responsiveness impact the well-being of forum members.
Social Cognitive Theories and Electronic Health Design: Scoping Review (Preprint)
Authors: Grace-Farfaglia Patricia
Published: July 2018

BACKGROUND

There are several social cognitive theories (SCTs) and models that support platform design in electronic health (eHealth) promotion trials. The rationale for this scoping review was to determine how social design features (informational aid, expressive support, gaming, and tailored content) are used to promote self-efficacy, engagement, knowledge, and behavior change.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to review a broad spectrum of digital health interventions in the literature seeking trials that use SCTs for the design of eHealth applications.

METHODS

The author conducted a systematic scoping review of 161 Web-based health interventions from published randomized clinical trials using 1 or more tools to address the social cognitive determinants in their website design from January 2006 to April 2016. An iterative approach was used in the selection of studies and data extraction. The studies were analyzed for quality and coded for type of social design features employed.

RESULTS

Expressive interaction tools were found in 48.6% (54/111) of studies categorized as a strong recommendation by the Joanna Briggs Institute criteria. Overall, less than half of the studies addressed participant social support and motivational needs (43.8%). The vast majority of studies (100%) relied on the use of the Web for delivery of informational aid and tailored content for the individual participant (75.9%).

CONCLUSIONS

This review fills a research gap by linking social theory to Web strategy to improve the impact and sustainability of eHealth interventions. A Digital Health Intervention Model was developed to provide a framework to enhance future Web-based health intervention design and execution.

Urban modernization has affected the behavior of the people in it. Today, real phenomenon is the emergence of an urban men’s lifestyle who really cares about her physical appearance like women. Previously, this lifestyle initially seen as hegemony and monopoly media celebrities, now replicated by people in everyday appearance, including a group of men in certain professions. The phenomenon of the metrosexual man in the government bureaucracy becomes interesting to study which stereotypes that the government bureaucracy are closed and rigid culture. Construction self-presentation shows an overview of social identity and self esteem. This study used a qualitative descriptive exploratory approach through the case study method. With purposive sampling technique, researchers determined the study subjects according to general characteristics of the metrosexual men. Researchers conducted in-depth interviews on four informants metrosexual men in the Ministry of Finance with a different of profession, age, and status. The conclusion is informant’s lifestyle more positively oriented. They tend narcissism, tidy, fashionoriented and more consumptive. Through informan’s self-presentation, the results show that bodyguard professions more recently adopting the metrosexual lifestyle than any other professions. Based on the characteristics of the AIO, the results showed four types of metrosexual men lifestyle, among other types of sport, trendy, automotive and artistic. Motivation of informan’s behavior in line with the general metrosexual cycle. Diverse motives behind the desire informant lifestyle look attractive especially to the opposite sex, work demands, and also increase comfort in social interaction. However, the phases of the metrosexual were experienced by the informants ‘non-linear’ as in general. While associated with the consumption patterns, the entire informants have high interest to the consumer. The findings showed that all informants included in the category of impulsive buyers who think rationally and selectively.

The hydrograph recession curve expresses the theoretical relationship between the aquifer structure and the flow of groundwater flowing into the river basin channel. These theoretical relationships are often empirically depicted using the base flow recession curve. The hydrograph recession curve is commonly used to estimate the recessionary parameters, aquifer properties and to evaluate alternative hydrological hypotheses. The river basin hydrograph recession curve records the behavior of the relationship between the aquifer structure and its association with groundwater outflow to the river channel. This research was conducted with the aim: to analyze the characteristics of the baseflow recession based on the parameters and coefficients of the recession, and the shape of the individual recession curve and the master recession curve. The characteristics of the baseflow recession to research sub-watershed have the recession curves tend to sloped, describing the water storage well enough. The parameter Q0 (recession early), α and the recession constant Krb ranging from 0,80 – 0,90 for the individual and master recession curve in all three research sub-watershed. This calculation result indicates that the recession characteristics in three research sub-watershed have the condition of water storage is excellent, because they are supported by the aquifer characteristics dominated by the geological structures are more permeable (porous).

Reclamation is a process of making new land on land that was previously covered by water, such as river banks or coastal coasts. The new area is usually used for residential areas, industry, business, air ports, agriculture, and tourism; in fact this reclamation has a positive and negative impact on the environment and surrounding communities. The Government has provided special arrangements for the spatial plan (RTRW) of each region including the sea, but its implementation is not aligned with more attention to the economic impact than the conservation of its natural resources. The research method used is descriptive analytical and explorative, to obtain an overview of marine policy for the utilization of marine reclamation that still pay attention to the environment and its resources. The reclamation of the sea causes a disruption of the ecosystem that causes many fishermen to lose their livelihood and cause natural disasters in other locations outside the reclamation area

Maritime zones of the sovereignty of the Indonesian archipelago can be divided into inland waters, archipelagic waters and territorial sea. But only in the inland waters of Indonesia have absolute sovereignty without any other state right. In order to guarantee and maintain the sovereignty of the country in the inland water zone from overlapping interests and rights of other countries in the zone of Indonesian maritime sovereignty, Indonesia should immediately establish the limits of delimitation of the inland waters and establish legislation to prevent violations of the sovereignty of Indonesia's inland waters territory by the state other. Delimitation of each islands is considered very important in order to maintain the security and defense of the country. The government must immediately establish inland water areas and ports considered strategic and vital to the defense and security of the country. Areas that are considered important this can be closing and banning to enter and / or stopover. So our marine law is firm and we can become a sovereign country in the sea region.

The existence of society is always followed by the existence of law. It indicates that society and law can not be separated from one another. The law is not only an instrument to create security and order relationships between individuals and other individuals in society. However, the law is also an instrument of morality that enters the human ratio to create justice. Related to that, in law there are two most famous schools of law, the school of natural law and legal positivism madhabab. Through the literature study approach, this study tries to answer the strength of binding power between the school of natural law and the school of legal positivism of the School of Natural Law sees the law as a reflection of morals, ethics and justice. While the legal positivism madhhab see law as a sovereign command that has nothing to do with morals, ethics and justice

The legal system or commonly referred to as the legal tradition, has a wealth of scientific treasures that can be examined in more depth through a holistic and comprehensive comparative process. Exactly, the comparison of the legal system must accommodate at least three legal systems that are widely used by countries in the world today. The three legal systems are the Continental European legal system, Anglo American and Islamic Law. The comparative study of the three types of legal systems found that the history of the Continental European legal system is divided into 6 phases, while Anglo American legal history began in the feudalistic era of England until it developed into America and continues to be studied until now. Meanwhile, the history of Islamic law is divided into 5 phases, starting from the Phase of the Prophet Muhammad to the Resurrection Phase (19th century until nowadays). In addition to history, the authors find that the Continental European legal system has the characteristic of anti-formalism thinking, while the Anglo American legal thinking characteristic tends to be formalism and is based on a relatively primitive mindset. While the thinking character of Islamic Law is much influenced by the thought of the fuqoha (fiqh experts) in determining the law to solve a problem, so relatively dynamic and moderate.

Movies have been seen as an encouraging media in learning English, tuning out the formal fear of English. They have helped increase students’ confidence and initiative to ask and answer the questions, and improve their listening skill and attention span in English drastically (O'Donnell, 1990). This article is intended to seek the applicability of the English sentences used in the movie Up and their uses for EFL learning in Indonesia. The 2013 curriculum was used as the standard guideline to determine the sentences’ appropriateness. A qualitative research by imposing content analysis method was employed to conduct the data analysis in this article. The findings classified the specific numbers of sentences generated in this research into ten (10) categories of English tenses. Another finding also indicated the applicability of those sentences for teaching EFL/ESL in junior high schools. Remarkably, these findings were substantial for appending the teachers’ resources in teaching English tenses.

How does toll road impact accessibilities, trades, and investments in short term? A case study of Cipali toll road in West Java, Indonesia
Authors: Kadam Ardiyono Sulistiyo , Parenrengi Nurul Pratiwi Andi , Faturachman Faturachman
Published: July 2018

To increase inter-region connectivity, the Indonesian government initiated infrastructure projects such as toll roads, airport, highways, as well as agriculture ones throughout the countries. One of the big projects in road infrastructure was the Cikampek–Palimanan (Cipali) toll road in West Java with a budget of more than USD1 billion which started to operate in July 2015. This paper is aimed to evaluate the impact of the toll road on accessibilities, trades, and investments in the region it traverses. To carry out the analysis, we used qualitative approach, difference-in-difference approach, and ANOVA, utilizing three kinds of data. The first data is collected from a survey of 331 small-medium enterprises (SMEs) in the logistics and the hotel and restaurant industries. The second one is bank loan data sourced from Bank Indonesia, while the third one is investment data from Investment Coordinating Board of Indonesia (BKPM). After two years of its operation, Cipali toll road has increased accessibility, mobility, trade, and investment in the region it traverses. The travel time was reduced by 39%, while the cargo volume of the local businesses increased by 30% to 40%. These led to an improvement of wholesale trade volume in almost all regencies. However, SMEs in the hotel and restaurant industry along the traditional northern coastal highway in Subang, Indramayu, and Brebes experienced a decline due to the traffic shifting. Meanwhile, investments from national companies especially those of labor-intensive manufacturing industries flowed significantly especially to Subang and Majalengka, which reflected a “sorting effect”. However, investments from local and foreign businesses did not increase significantly yet after 2.5 years of toll operation. To reap the benefit from the presence of Cipali toll road, the local governments should improve the ease of doing business to attract investments that boost employment in return. In addition, given a better accessibility from Greater Jakarta and a large number of potential visitors passing through the toll road, local businesses in the trade sector would benefit if they could promote the local attractions such as in tourism activities supported by the local government. The latter strategy should also be implemented by the local governments and local businesses in the northern coastal traditional route to minimize the negative impact of the toll road due to the traffic shifting. This strategy should be strengthened through increasing connectivity from the toll exits to local business areas and through increasing the ease of doing business.
Adaptive Impedance Control of Robot Manipulators with Parametric Uncertainty for Constrained Path–Tracking
Authors: Bonilla Isela , Mendoza Marco , Campos-Delgado Daniel U. , Hernández-Alfaro Diana E.
Published: July 2018

The main impedance control schemes in the task space require accurate knowledge of the kinematics and dynamics of the robotic system to be controlled. In order to eliminate this dependence and preserve the structure of this kind of algorithms, this paper presents an adaptive impedance control approach to robot manipulators with kinematic and dynamic parametric uncertainty. The proposed scheme is an inverse dynamics control law that leads to the closed-loop system having a PD structure whose equilibrium point converges asymptotically to zero according to the formal stability analysis in the Lyapunov sense. In addition, the general structure of the scheme is composed of continuous functions and includes the modeling of most of the physical phenomena present in the dynamics of the robotic system. The main feature of this control scheme is that it allows precise path tracking in both free and constrained spaces (if the robot is in contact with the environment). The proper behavior of the closed-loop system is validated using a two degree-of-freedom robotic arm. For this benchmark good results were obtained and the control objective was achieved despite neglecting non modeled dynamics, such as viscous and Coulomb friction.
Pattern Layer Reduction for a Generalized Regression Neural Network by Using a Self–Organizing Map
Authors: Kartal Serkan , Oral Mustafa , Ozyildirim Buse Melis
Published: July 2018

In a general regression neural network (GRNN), the number of neurons in the pattern layer is proportional to the number of training samples in the dataset. The use of a GRNN in applications that have relatively large datasets becomes troublesome due to the architecture and speed required. The great number of neurons in the pattern layer requires a substantial increase in memory usage and causes a substantial decrease in calculation speed. Therefore, there is a strong need for pattern layer size reduction. In this study, a self-organizing map (SOM) structure is introduced as a pre-processor for the GRNN. First, an SOM is generated for the training dataset. Second, each training record is labelled with the most similar map unit. Lastly, when a new test record is applied to the network, the most similar map units are detected, and the training data that have the same labels as the detected units are fed into the network instead of the entire training dataset. This scheme enables a considerable reduction in the pattern layer size. The proposed hybrid model was evaluated by using fifteen benchmark test functions and eight different UCI datasets. According to the simulation results, the proposed model significantly simplifies the GRNN’s structure without any performance loss.
Evaluation of a Greenhouse under Tropical Conditions Using Irish Potato (Solanum Tuberosum) as the Test Crop
Authors: Akpenpuun Timothy Denen , Mijinyawa Yahaya
Published: July 2018

Irish potato is a tuberous staple food predominantly grown in Plateau State, a temperate climate. As a result of the high demand for Irish potato, there is a shortage in its supply in Nigeria. The shortage in its supply could be attributed to climate change and the fall in the production level. This study sought to establish the potential of a greenhouse (GH) for the production of Irish potato in the tropics. The experiments were carried out in the rainy and dry seasons of 2015/2016 and 2016/2017. Nicola, Diamant, Batita, New Seed and Okonkwo varieties of Irish potato were cultivated inside and outside the greenhouse. Thirty seedlings of each variety were planted using Completely Randomised Experimental Design. Greenhouse performance was evaluated in terms of air temperature, relative humidity, vapour pressure deficit, yield, stem diameter, stem height and dry matter content. The result of the analysis of variance revealed that the mean greenhouse and open-field temperature, relative humidity and vapour pressure deficit differed significantly at 0.01 during the rainy and dry season. The yield and growth data in and outside the greenhouse were significantly different at 0.01. Diamant, Batista and Okonkwo varieties are recommended for GH production.

The paper presents the main drawbar parameters of tractor (drawbar pull, drawbar power and wheels slip) operating in a grass plot and evaluates the utilization of specially modified tyres with spikes. These prototypes of driving wheels were designed at the Department of Transport and Handling of the Slovak University of Agriculture in Nitra. The designed mechanism with spikes is mounted on standard tractor tyres, in which grooves were made. Spikes are hidden in grooves during transportation on a route. On the grassy landscape or soil, the spikes are ejected in order to improve the drawbar parameters. During operation, the drawbar pull and the rotation speeds of wheels were measured, whereupon the wheel slip was calculated. Results show the highest increase in tractor speed at the second gear and high load in utilized prototypes of the driving wheels (1.89 km·h-1) in comparison to standard tyres (1.10 km·h-1). Measurements also demonstrate the highest improvement of drawbar power under the aforementioned conditions in case of tractor with prototypes of driving wheels (1,719.87 W) in comparison with tractor using the standard tyres (1,061.57 W).

Published: July 2018

This paper deals with pyrolysis decomposition of Cedrus deodara leaves with the help of thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Experiments are performed in the presence of inert atmosphere of nitrogen. Experiments are conducted at three different heating rates of 5 °C∙min-1, 10 °C∙min-1 and 15 °C∙min-1 within temperature range of 35 °C to 700 °C. Arrhenius parameters such as activation energy and frequency factor are estimated by Flynn Wall and Ozawa (FWO), Kissinger-Akahira-Sonuse (KAS) and Kissinger. The activation energy and frequency factor calculated by using Kissinger method are 67.63 kJ∙mol-1 and 15.06 . 104 min-1 respectively; whereas the averaged values of the same parameters through FWO and KAS methods are 89.59 kJ∙mol-1 and 84.748 kJ∙mol-1, 17.27 . 108 min-1 and 62.13 . 107 min-1 respectively. Results obtained through Kissinger method represent the actual values of kinetic parameters. Conversely, FWO and KAS methods reflect the apparent values of kinetic parameters, as they are highly influenced by the overlapping of competitive reactions occur during pyrolysis.

Published: July 2018

In p. 219 of R.K. Guy's Unsolved Problems in Number Theory, 3rd edn., Springer, New York, 2004, we are asked to prove that the Diophantine equation xn + yn = n!zn has no integer solutions with n ∈ N+ and n > 2. But, contrary to this expectation, we show that for n = 3, this equation has in finitely many primitive integer solutions, i.e. the solutions satisfying the condition gcd(x, y, z) = 1.

Let ℌ be an in finite-dimensional complex Hilbert space and A be a standard operator algebra on ℌ which is closed under the adjoint operation. It is shown that every nonlinear *-Lie higher derivation D = {δn}gn∈N of A is automatically an additive higher derivation on A. Moreover, D = {δn}gn∈N is an inner *-higher derivation.

Improving the Quality of Life with Rural Development Programmes in Germany (2007–2013): Evidence from the Evaluation
Authors: Moser Andrea , Peter Heike , Fengler Birgit , Strohm-Lömpcke Renate
Published: July 2018

Improving the quality of life is a strategic priority for the European Union (EU), and is, therefore also a stated goal of development policy for rural areas. The EAFRD Regulation provides the legal framework for this policy. As Germany has a federal structure, the federal states of Germany are responsible for implementing the aims of the rural development programmes (RDPs). As each federal state has taken a different approach to improving the quality of life in rural areas, the effects of these programmes differ. Until now, there was no plan for measuring the success of the RDPs. In this article, we will show how the multidimensional concept of quality of life - which was developed in the 1960s and 1970s and has been applied since then - primarily in the social sciences - was turned into a theory-based research concept for evaluating selected RDPs. The focus of the article is on the theoretical derivation and the development of the research concept; concrete results are presented as examples. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Verbesserung der Lebensqualität durch die EPLR nur in einzelnen Teilbereichen erreicht wurde. The results show that the improvement in quality of life realized by the EPLR was only achieved in individual areas. Across all of the federal states we observed, the greatest positive effects were found in the dimensions “conditions in residential locations” and “personal activities (leisure etc.).”
Analysis of Water Retention Changes in Selected Lake-Wetland Catchments of West Polesie Based on Historical Documents
Authors: Mięsiak-Wójcik Katarzyna
Published: July 2018

The paper presents analysis results concerning changes in the range of areas of surface and transitional retention, here corresponding with wetlands, in two small lake catchments in the western part of West Polesie. The cartometric research was performed on maps covering the period from the 19th to the early 21st century. The analyses were referred to the modern state of investigation recorded on orthophotomaps in data bases disclosed in Geoportal Krajowy and in the Google Earth Pro application. Lake surface retention showed no substantial changes, and the differences result from the scale of maps used in the study, and therefore from the degree of detail of the presented objects. In the catchment of Lake Czarne Gościnieckie it occupied from 13.61 to 15.64% of its area, and in the catchment of Lake Brzeziczno from 0.96 to 1.28%. The greatest discrepancies in the area of wetlands result from the cartographic method of presentation, and generalisation of maps. In the catchment of Lake Czarne Gościnieckie, areas of transitional retention could be identified on 11 out of 13 maps, and in the catchment of Lake Brzeziczno on 12. In the case of the former catchment, transitional retention occupies from 17.35 to 34.00% of its area, and in the catchment of Brzeziczno from 4.81 to 24.00%. Such different surface areas of wetlands measured on maps, however, do not signify evident tendencies for change. Over the last 200 years, no substantial changes occurred in the studied catchments regarding the range of surface waters and wetlands, as confirmed by field research conducted in the years 2006-2012. The quantity and quality of maps and the variability of their scales encourage a careful interpretation of obtained information. In such a case, it is necessary to supplement cartographic analyses with investigating procedures of map preparation, and also to collect written documents concerning the entire area.
Hydrographic And Hydrochemical Characteristics of the Landslide Lake Jazerske (Spišska Magura, Northern Slovakia)
Authors: Molenda Tadeusz
Published: July 2018

This article presents the hydrographic and hydrochemical characteristics of this lake. Lake Jazerske is located in the Western Carpathians (Spiš Magura) in northern Slovakia. It occupies a depression that was formed at the foot of the main scarp of a landslide. Below the lake, there are small intercolluvial depressions that have been transformed into wetlands (peat bogs). The studied lake is very small. Its area is 3600 m2 and its length is 85 m. The maximum depth of the lake is 7.2 m and its capacity is 17 000 m3. The lake is supplied by an inflow of groundwater via fractured aquifers. During periods of heavy rainfall and snow melting, the lake is also supplied by the water from surface runoff. On the main slope of the landslides, traces of ephemeral courses were also found. During the periods of increased supply (spring snow melting, summer rainfall), the outflow of water from the lake occurs both on the surface and underground. In terms of its hydrochemistry, the lake water represents the four-ion type - bicarbonate-sulphate-calcium-magnesium. The concentrations of various ions is characteristic of the shallow groundwater of the Carpathian flysch. The predominant cation, the average concentration of which is 52 mg dm-3, is calcium. The dominant anion is carbohydrates with an average concentration of 163 mg dm-3. What is interesting is the very low levels of chlorides, which do not exceed 2 mg dm-3. The electrolytic conductivity of the water flowing out of the lake ranged from 290 to 328 μS cm-1.

Background

We assessed the incidence and characteristics of interval cancers after faecal immunochemical occult blood test and calculated the test sensitivity in Slovenian colorectal cancer screening programme.

Patients and methods

The analysis included the population aged between 50 to 69 years, which was invited for screening between April 2011 and December 2012. The persons were followed-up until the next foreseen invitation, in average for 2 years. The data on interval cancers and cancers in non-responders were obtained from cancer registry. Gender, age, years of schooling, the cancer site and stage were compared among three observed groups. We used the proportional incidence method to calculate the screening test sensitivity.

Results

Among 502,488 persons invited for screening, 493 cancers were detected after positive screening test, 79 interval cancers after negative faecal immunochemical test and 395 in non-responders. The proportion of interval cancers was 13.8%. Among the three observed groups cancers were more frequent in men (p = 0.009) and in persons aged 60+ years (p < 0.001). Comparing screen detected and cancers in non-responders with interval cancers more interval cancers were detected in persons with 10 years of schooling or more (p = 0.029 and p = 0.001), in stage III (p = 0.027) and IV (p < 0.001), and in right hemicolon (p < 0.001). Interval cancers were more frequently in stage I than non-responders cancers (p = 0.004). Test sensitivity of faecal immunochemical test was 88.45%.

Conclusions

Interval cancers in Slovenian screening programme were detected in expected proportions as in similar programmes. Test sensitivity was among the highest when compared to similar programmes and was accomplished using test kit for two stool samples.
