Going Viral: News Sharing and Shared News in Social Media
Authors: Wadbring Ingela , Ödmark Sara
Published: January 2019

Through the advent of social media, news achieves a life of its own online. The media organisations partly lose control over the diffusion process, and simultaneously individuals gain power over the process, and become opinion leaders for others. This study focusses on news sharers and news shared (or rather, interacted), and has three RQ:s: 1) What characterises the people who share news in social media, 2) Have the characteristics of interacted news changed over time? and 3) Are there differences between news content interacted by ordinary people and news highlighted by media organisations? Two different studies have been conducted: A representative survey and a quantitative content analysis.

The main results are that the opinion leaders differ from the majority by being younger, with a greater political interest, single and more digital in their general lifestyle, both concerning news consumption and other aspects. The content analysis shows that the most interacted news on social media follow the traditional news values rather well, with a few exceptions. Most apparent is that interacted news is more positive over time and compared to print front-page news. Accidents and crime dominate print front-pages, while politics is more prominent in interacted news.

Published: January 2019

We study fair allocation of indivisible goods to agents with unequal entitlements. Fair allocation has been the subject of many studies in both divisible and indivisible settings. Our emphasis is on the case where the goods are indivisible and agents have unequal entitlements. This problem is a generalization of the work by Procaccia and Wang (2014) wherein the agents are assumed to be symmetric with respect to their entitlements. Although Procaccia and Wang show an almost fair (constant approximation) allocation exists in their setting, our main result is in sharp contrast to their observation. We show that, in some cases with n agents, no allocation can guarantee better than 1/n approximation of a fair allocation when the entitlements are not necessarily equal. Furthermore, we devise a simple algorithm that ensures a 1/n approximation guarantee.

Our second result is for a restricted version of the problem where the valuation of every agent for each good is bounded by the total value he wishes to receive in a fair allocation. Although this assumption might seem without loss of generality, we show it enables us to find a 1/2 approximation fair allocation via a greedy algorithm. Finally, we run some experiments on real-world data and show that, in practice, a fair allocation is likely to exist. We also support our experiments by showing positive results for two stochastic variants of the problem, namely stochastic agents and stochastic items.
Study of the effect of the embedment of Invar36 in Ni60 coating
Authors: Li Qi , Shi Yongjun , Sun Rui , Wang Ruihai
Published: January 2019

Powder metallurgy (PM) is a rapidly evolving technique that is widely used for manufacturing novel materials. PM dies are exposed to harsh working conditions and are prone to damage. In this work, 45 steel was coated with Ni60 through high-frequency induction cladding to develop inexpensive PM mandrels with long service lives. The thermal expansion coefficient of the Ni60 coating reduced on embedment with Invar36 sticks. The temperature field was simulated through the finite-element method and experimentally verified. The microstructure and elemental composition of the coating were observed by using an electron probe microanalyzer, an energy-dispersive spectrometer and an X-ray diffractometer. A thermal mechanical analyzer and a Vickers microhardness tester were used to measure thermal expansion coefficients and microhardness, respectively. Results showed that current density and heating duration were the main factors that affected temperature distribution and the addition of Invar36 decreased coating temperature by 3–4°C. Energy-dispersive spectrometry revealed that metallurgical bonds formed among Ni60, Invar36 and 45 steel. The addition of Invar36 reduced the thermal expansion coefficient of the coating by 17·8% at 800°C. The microhardness of the coating surface reached as high as 800 Vickers hardness and was unaffected by the embedded Invar36.

Focalizamos variados sitios etnográficos donde se desencadenan flujos de valor lejos de los productores, con el fin de hacer visibles a mujeres y jóvenes como sujetos económicos, cuyo trabajo suele ser opacado bajo las categorías censales de “amas de casa” y “estudiantes”.
Desarraigo sin proletarización en el agro paraguayo
Authors: Fogel Pedroso Ramón Bruno
Published: January 2019

Este artículo analiza las peculiaridades del neoextrativismo en Paraguay y sus efectos en la reconfiguración de la estructura de clases, específicamente en el desarraigo campesino sin proletarización, perfilando los escenarios de los conflictos que pueden surgir alrededor de esta situación. En el trabajo se utilizan datos secundarios de los últimos años (2001-2016), tiempo en el cual la salida a la sobreacumulación requirió el desplazamiento del capital en busca de nuevos espacios para la explotación de recursos naturales en pos de la producción de granos. Desde entonces, la soja transgénica en Paraguay continúa en un notable proceso expansivo, al punto de que en la actualidad es el país más transgenizado del mundo, considerando la proporción de la superficie total destinada a este tipo de cultivos.

Authors: Krysanov I. S. , Krysanova V. S. , Ermakova V. Yu.
Published: January 2019

Objectives: to perfom analysis of the clinical efficacy and safety of using monofocal IOLs in the surgical treatment of cataracts in adult patients. Material and methods. In available sources (databases of the Cochrane Library and Medline) a search was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of using monofocal IOLs in cataract surgery in adult patients according to the PICO(S) regimen. A literature review was conducted in July 2018 for the keywords “intraocular lenses” and “cataract” using the following filters: clinical trial, randomized clinical trial, meta-analysis, systematic review (clinical trial, randomized clinical trial, meta-analysis, systematic review). Posting languages: English. Depth of search — 5 years. Last search date is July 27, 2018. Results. An initial search in the Medline database found 21,737 publications and 2157 in the Cochrane Library database. A total of 17,894 links were found. In a meta-analysis Zhao Y. et al., 2017, a comparison of the incidence of opacities of the posterior capsule (secondary cataract) after surgical treatment with the implantation of hydrophobic and hydrophilic IOLs was made. In multicenter retrospective cohort study Ursell P., et al, 2018 assessed the frequency of the Nd: YAG-laser capsulotomy for the treatment of secondary cataract which developed after the implantation of the IOL within the first 3 years after surgery. Conclusion. During the systematic review, the relationship between the incidence of complications (secondary cataracts) and the properties of the IOL material was found. The implantation of lenses from a hydrophobic material is associated with a lower incidence of secondary cataracts than the implantation of lenses from a hydrophilic material.

Authors: Poulkar Chandrakant B. , Chaudhari Nitin D. , Khatu Swapna S. , Patwekar Shilpa L.
Published: January 2019

Background: Palmoplantar psoriasis is difficult to treat and often recalcitrant to traditional treatment modalities like topical steroids, anthralin, calcipotriol, methotrexate, cyclosporine, NB-UVB and PUVA. This study was aimed to compare efficacy of 308 nm monochromatic excimer light (MEL) in combination with calcipotriol ointment to 308 nm MEL alone in treatment of palmoplantar psoriasis.

Methods: This self-control study was conducted in 30 patients of palmoplantar psoriasis. Right side was treated with 308 nm MEL, 2 times/week, at meantime calcipotriol ointment was applied externally, 2 times/day (treatment group); the left side was treated with 308 nm MEL alone, 2 times/week (control group). Erythema, scaling, induration and fissuring (ESIF) score and cumulative doses of 308 nm MEL were assessed before treatment and on weeks 2, 4 and 6 after initiation of treatment.

Results: All 30 patients completed the treatment. ESIF scores on week 2, week 4, and week 6 in treatment group were significantly lower than control group (p<0.01). The average cumulative MEL dose in treatment group at the end of trial was 8.12±1.72 J/cm2, which was significantly lower than in control group 12.76±1.92 J/cm2 (p<0.01).

Conclusions: Treatment of palmoplantar psoriasis with 308 nm MEL in combination with external application of calcipotriol ointment can improve long-term treatment efficacy, decrease cumulative doses, and adverse effects induced by MEL irradiations.

Authors: Gupta Surinder , Garg Preeti , Gupta Nakul
Published: January 2019

Background: Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disorder with defective proliferation and differentiation of keratinocytes. It is associated with metabolic syndrome i.e. dyslipidemia, hypertension, obesity, cardiovascular diseases and insulin resistance. The high incidence of cardiovascular events in psoriasis is highly associated with abnormal lipid metabolism. This case-control study was done in North Indian medical institute to investigate the levels of serum lipids in psoriasis patients taking in account various parameters like weight, height, body mass index, blood pressure and diabetes.

Methods: We assessed the fasting lipid profile in 48 psoriasis patients and 48 healthy, age and sex matched controls.

Results: The study found significant elevation (p<0.05) of serum total cholesterol, triglycerides, low density lipoproteins (LDL) and very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) in psoriasis patients compared to controls. The levels of high density lipoproteins (HDL) were also significantly lower (p<0.05) in psoriasis patients.

Conclusions: This study suggests that psoriasis is a high risk disorder for cardiovascular mortality and morbidity because of its association with dyslipidemia.

Authors: TOĞAN Vedat , EIRGASH Mohammad Azim
Published: January 2019

Considering the competitive environment in all
industries, completion on time is crucial for the stakeholders of a project.
This favorable target is achieved by finding the optimal set of time-cost
alternatives and this is known as time-cost trade-off problem (TCTP) in the
literature. In this study, a new initial population approach is presented to improve
the quality of the optimal set of time-cost alternatives. It put a predefined
number of the solutions of the single objective TCTP into the initial
population of teaching learning-based algorithm, which is utilized as an
optimizer for the multi-objective optimization of TCTP. Hence, it is aimed to
descend the randomness on initial population and to decrease the searching
effort to catch the optimal set of time-cost alternatives in the search space.
The proposed methodology is tested on a series of benchmark problems and the
obtained results are compared with those available in the technical literature.
It can produce good solutions as effective as with other techniques applied for
simultaneous optimization of TCTPs.

Authors: SEFEROĞLU Ayşegül Güneş , SEFEROĞLU Mehmet Tevfik , AKPINAR Muhammet Vefa
Published: January 2019

The objective of this research is to assess the elastic deformations and permanent strains of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) material as a base layer when it is treated or untreated with puzzolanic cement under cyclic loads. A large-scale cyclic plate loading testing (CPLT) device was developed for studying the mechanical characteristics of pavement base layer materials. When the RAP percentage of the mixtures increased, elastic deformations and permanent strains increased, but the opposite is true when the cement percentage increased. It was concluded that 100% RAP material can be used in base layers with 3% cement. The obtained deformation values and strain rates can be used as reasonable default design input values to be used by pavement designers when using RAP as a substitute for natural aggregate base layers.

Published: January 2019

The paper presents a review of current techniques of the interference microscopy of living functioning cells that allow for assessment of the real-time changes of subcellular microstructures with 2D and 3D reconstructions of the images and multifactorial data analysis. It has been shown that new diagnostic information can be obtained within the research methodology of the so-called interactive dialogue with the cell to identify changes in the morphofunctional state of living cells through registration of their realtime response to environmental fluctuations. We describe physical basis of laser interferometry, problems and specifics of interpretation of cell phase pictures. As an illustration to the practical use of the technique in the clinic we present the results of studies on morphofunctional state of peripheral blood platelets in patients with oral malignancies (OM) and various stages of the tumor. Analysis of circulating platelets with a realtime technique of laser interferometry allowed for identification of compensated activation of the platelet compartment of hemostasis in these patients, as well as an association between the severity of cancer and changes of dimensional cell parameters (an increase of the mean diameter and area of circulating platelets by 23.4, 26.8 and 30.3%, and by 30.2, 32.5 and 38.1% in the patients with OM grades II, III and IV, respectively (p < 0,05 for all comparisons)). The necessary condition for a wider implementation of new diagnostic technologies is a critical evaluation of the efficacy of their use in routine practice, identification of their advantages, disadvantages and differences between current and proposed diagnostic platforms.
The use of the interference microscopy to study structural characteristics of cultured dermal fibroblasts
Authors: Nefedova I. F. , Rossinskaya V. V.
Published: January 2019

Rationale: The use of electron, nuclear power and confocal microscopy for the screening of biologically active compounds, medical products and express diagnostics of some diseases at the cell level is associated with laborand time-consuming sample preparation, which cannot exclude potential measurement errors and artifacts. The modulation interference microscopy does not have these disadvantages; it allows for non-invasive studies of cell structures, imaging with nanometer resolution and analysis of the optical properties of an object.

Aim: To assess the potential of the interference microscopy in the evaluation of morphofunctional characteristics of in vitro mitomycin conditioned cultured cell nuclei (dermal fbroblasts taken as a model).

Materials and methods: Native culture of human dermal fbroblasts of the 6th passage, grown on glass with mirror coating in the cell culture laboratory of the Institute of Experimental Medicine and Biotechnology of Samara State Medical University (Russia), was examined with a modulation interference microscope MIM-340 (JSC PA UOMZ, Russia). Changes over time in the structural characteristics of dermal fbroblast nuclei conditioned with mitomycin were evaluated. The control group included fbroblasts cultured in the same conditions on glass with mirror coating without mitomycin. Imaging with MIM-340 was done at three hours, one and four days after adding the cytostatic. The control group was assessed at the same time points.

Results: We have shown that the cell culture grown on dielectric glasses does not diﬀer in its morphofunctional characteristics from the culture grown on culture plastics. This proves the possibility to study the adhesive native culture using interference microscopy. We have found that the cells respond to a single mitomycin 0.04% exposure with a change to a globular shape and a sharp increase in the nuclear phase thickness (217.8 vs. 142.18 nm in the control group, p ≤ 0.05). Thereafter, the morphofunctional characteristics of the cells are restored, which is confrmed by the changes over time in the culture density, cell shape and size, and the phase thickness of the nucleus.

Conclusion: The results obtained make it possible to recommend the method of modulation interference microscopy for evaluation of toxicity and biocompatibility of drugs, medical products and physical factors for diagnosis and treatment.

Published: January 2019

Deposit money banks are concerned with the provision of credit facilities in form of loans and advances to customers. These loans and advances are expected to be repaid by customers in line with the agreement reached with their bankers. Customers’ default in the repayment of loans and advances at the agreed period may lead to bad and doubtful debts and this can affect the financial health, profitability and going concern status of the bank. This study empirically explored the effect of credit risk management on the financial performance of ten listed deposit money banks in Nigeria for the period, 2005-2016. Credit risk management, the independent variable, was surrogated by three parameters- Non-performing Loan to total Loan Ratio (NPLLR); Non-performing Loan to total Deposit Ratio (NPLDR) and Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR). Return on asset (ROA) and Return on equity (ROE) was used as proxies for financial performance. Using the Random effects generalised least squares (GLS) regression as data estimation technique, the study revealed that all the three credit risk parameters have a significant relationship with ROA and ROE (p< 0.05).Based on the findings, the study recommended that the management of deposit money banks should develop rigorous and robust credit policies that will enable banks to effectively assess the creditworthiness of their customers. The regulatory agencies should also come up with modern credit risk measurements, identification and control. Prompt and necessary action should also be taken against the management of any bank that flouts their credit risk guidelines in order to avoid unpleasant distress in the financial system.

Authors: Liu Shuangyan , Xu Yihang , Shi Xiaopeng , Deng Qiong , Li Yulong
Published: January 2019

This paper studies topology optimization of metallic and composite panels of three different configurations (flat,
three-bay and 3×3 grid) covered by the constrained damping materials considering first modal loss factors. The
vibration experiments seek to obtain the first modal loss factor and first modal frequency for the aforementioned
panels, and corresponding finite element (FE) simulations are completed using commercial software ABAQUS
R
.
According to simulation results, the distribution of constrained damping materials is optimized with evolutionary
structural optimization (ESO) method developed using MATLAB. The results show that the first modal loss
factors of optimized panels are reduced slightly if the constrained damping material is removed by 50%. Under
the base excitation near each first modal frequency, the maximum root mean square of Von Mises equivalent
stress (RMISES) of optimized flat panels and 3×3 grid stiffened panels decreases compared with panels without
constrained damping materials. However, the maximum RMISES value of optimized three-bay stiffened panels
nearly remains unchanged due to the configuration type of the stiffeners. These results conclude that the three-bay
stiffened panel is the best to reduce the maximum RMISES value of at base structure with the same additional
mass

T-cell mediated immune responses should be regulated to avoid the development of autoimmune or chronic inflammation diseases. Several mechanisms have been described to regulate this process, namely death of overactivated T cells by cytokine deprivation, suppression by T regulatory cells (Treg), induction of expression of immune checkpoint molecules such as CTLA-4 and PD-1, or activation-induced cell death (AICD). In addition, activated T cells release membrane microvesicles called exosomes during these regulatory processes. In this review, we revise the role of exosome secretion in the different pathways of immune regulation described to date and its importance in the prevention of autoinmune disease. Expression of membrane-bound death ligands on the surface of exosomes during AICD, or the more recently described transfer of miRNA or even DNA inside T-cell exosomes are molecular mechanisms that will be analyzed.
The Determinants of Maqasid Shariah Based Performance of Islamic Banks in Indonesia
Authors: Amaroh Siti , Masturin Masturin
Published: January 2019

This study aims to examine the determinants of maqasid shariah based performance of Islamic banks in Indonesia. The data was extracted from the published annual audited reports of Islamic banks in Indonesia during the period 2014-2017. This research used correlation and multiple linear regression analysis to examine the proposed hypotheses. Maqasid shariah based performance was proxied by maqasid index. The proposed factors as determinants of maqasid shariah based performance are profit loss sharing financing, cost efficiency, and risk taking behavior. The results of this research revealed that profit sharing financing positively influences maqasid shariah based performance, but risk taking behavior has a negative impact. Cost efficiency does not influence maqasid shariah based performance. The implication of this finding is that Islamic banks should have commitment to realize maqasid shariah through increasing their profit loss sharing financing in the mudharabah and musharakah modes

Sustainable wellbeing is one of the goals of zakat distribution whereby  the poor (mustahiq) are not only able to survive by having the basic needs fulfilled, but also are able to work and fulfill his needs and his family independently. The mustahiq independency is important to solve the problem of inequalities in society, marginalization, unemployemnt and poverty. This can only be achieved if zakat is able to used as a means for economic empowerment of the poor that would increase their capacity and enable them to become enterpreneur and hence able to fulfil their needs by themselves.  This article attempts to observe various zakat productive programs initiated by zakat institutions in Indonesia and also analyze their implications in empowering the poors and increase their level of wellbeing. The case study in this paper is Baitul Mal Aceh and Baznas Indonesia.
Real-Time Pricing for Smart Grid with Multiple Companies and Multiple Users Using Two-Stage Optimization
Authors: Tao Li , Gao Yan
Published: January 2019

In this paper, we focus on the real-time interactions among multiple utility companies and multiple users and formulate real-time pricing (RTP) as a two-stage optimization problem. At the first stage, based on cost function, we propose a continuous supply function bidding mechanism to model the utility companies’ profit maximization problem, by which the analytic expression of electricity price is further derived. At the second stage, considering that individually optimal solution may not be socially optimal, we employ convex optimization with linear constraints to model the price anticipating users’ daily payoff maximum. Substitute the analytic expression of electricity price obtained at the first stage into the optimization problem at the second stage. Using customized proximal point algorithm (C-PPA), the optimization problem at the second stage is solved and electricity price is obtained accordingly. We also prove the existence and uniqueness of the Nash equilibrium in the mentioned two-stage optimization and the convergence of C-PPA. In addition, in order to make the algorithm more practical, a statistical approach is used to obtain the function of price only through online information exchange, instead of solving it directly. The proposed approach offers RTP, power production and load scheduling for multiple utility companies and multiple users in smart grid. Statistical approach helps to protect the company’s privacy and avoid the interference of random factors, and C-PPA has an advantage over Lagrangian algorithm because the former need not obtain the objection function of the dual optimization problem by solving an optimization problem with parameters. Simulation results show that the proposed framework can significantly reduce peak time loading and efficiently balance system energy distribution.

Sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum) is one of high-value commodities in Indonesia for producing sugar. Sugarcane production recently reduced due to insect pests attacked, mainly white grub Lepidiota stigma (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae). Utilization of entomopathogenic nematodes (EPN) is one of the alternative control methods for sugarcane white grub. The aim of the present
study was to select the higher pathogenicity of EPN isolates for controlling the sugarcane insect pest. The study was conducted in Insect Pathology Laboratory of Indonesia Sweeteners and Fiber Crops Research Institute. Nine isolates of EPN, e.g. DKS-1, AGH-1, DKH-1, DKH-5, NH-1, NH-2, PH-1, PH-2, and PH-4 and one untreated control were tested for their pathogenicity against sugarcane white grub, L. stigma. Each treatment was arranged in Completely Randomized Design with three replications. Every treatment consisted of 30 individuals of the third instar of white grub which treated by 2 × 104 infective juvenile or IJ of EPN
isolates. Parameter observed was the mortality of sugarcane white grub, L. stigma. The result showed that all of EPN isolates tested were promising pathogenic against the white grub with about 10 to 80% of the average percentage of mortality. However, DKS-1 and PH-1 showed more pathogenic against L. stigma with about 80–90% and 70–80% of white grub mortality,
respectively. The highest enhancement of white grub mortality occurred at 72 hours after treatment and it was showed by DKS-1 and PH-1 isolates which increased the percentage of white grub mortality about 57.1 and 50%, respectively. Obtaining the promising isolates of NPS with different host seeking strategies will potentially increase the effectivity of control against white
grub with the result to increase the yield of sugarcane.

Background. The personalized approach implies an individual choice of medicines and their doses for the patient, providing the most effective and safe pharmacotherapy. Objective: analysis of the frequencies of UGT1A1 and DPYD polymorphisms and comparison of genotyping data with irinotecan and 5-fluorouracil-induced toxicity, respectively.

Materials and Methods. Venous blood of 94 Caucasian patients (46 men and 48 women, median age 61 years). The *6 and *28 UGT1A1 alleles were identified by pyrosequencing, and the *2А DPYD allele was identified by Real-time PCR.

Results. The genotyping of 94 patients with colon cancer did not reveal the *2A SNP in the DPYD gene. The frequency rate of the *6 and *28 alleles of the UGT1A1 gene was 0.346 and 0.016, respectively. 24 % of patients receiving chemotherapy with 5-fluorouracil developed side effects associated with the circulatory system and the gastrointestinal tract. Hematological and nonhematological toxic reactions were noted in 48 % and 50 % of patients receiving irinotecan. Severe bilirubinemia was associated with the *28/*28 UGT1A1 genotype. The presence of a high-risk genotype (*28/*1, *28/*28 UGT1A1) correlated with the development of side effects (p=0.040).

Conclusion. The absence of carriers of the *2А DPYD allele in the sample with a significant proportion of pronounced adverse toxic reactions to 5-fluorouracil causes the need for the inclusion of new polymorphisms of the DPYD gene in pharmacogenetic testing. The inclusion of genotyping of UGT1A1 polymorphisms into a complex of preliminary examination is advisable when planning treatment with irinotecan.
Comments on abelian Higgs models and persistent order

Published: January 2019

A natural question about Quantum Field Theory is whether there is a
deformation to a trivial gapped phase. If the underlying theory has an
anomaly, then symmetric deformations can never lead to a trivial phase.
We discuss such discrete anomalies in Abelian Higgs models in 1+1 and
2+1 dimensions. We emphasize the role of charge conjugation symmetry in
these anomalies; for example, we obtain nontrivial constraints on the
degrees of freedom that live on a domain wall in the VBS phase of the
Abelian Higgs model in 2+1 dimensions. In addition, as a byproduct of
our analysis, we show that in 1+1 dimensions the Abelian Higgs model is
dual to the Ising model. We also study variations of the Abelian Higgs
model in 1+1 and 2+1 dimensions where there is no dynamical particle of
unit charge. These models have a center symmetry and additional discrete
anomalies. In the absence of a dynamical unit charge particle, the Ising
transition in the 1+1 dimensional Abelian Higgs model is removed. These
models without a unit charge particle exhibit a remarkably persistent
order: we prove that the system cannot be disordered by either quantum
or thermal fluctuations. Equivalently, when these theories are studied
on a circle, no matter how small or large the circle is, the ground
state is non-trivial.
