A core goal of taxonomy and systematics, entomology, field botany, horticulture, zoology and many agriculture courses involves learning to identify plants and animals. But current syllabi and time constraint allow students to see only a limited amount of taxonomic variability. Usually only experts such as taxonomists and trained technicians can identify taxa accurately because it requires special skills acquired through extensive experience. Taxonomic keys are essential tools for species identification, used by students and professionals. The development of computer-based, multi-media keys provides one means of addressing this critical identification and diagnostic function. Automated species identification (ASI) is a method of making the expertise of taxonomists available to ecologists, parataxonomists and others via digital technology and artificial intelligence. Today, most automated identification systems rely on images depicting the species for the identification. Although computer programs will not replace classical plant identification methods, they have the potential to make these methods more effective.

Suture
Authors: Cerankowski KJ
Published: November 2021

The landscape of trauma is scattered with ghosts. Wolves hunkering in the shadows. Memory’s spectral persistence and evasion. Leaky bodies and selves gathered up in the storm of pain. Genders imposed and genders made. History’s cruel excisions, scars, the spillage of wounds. A landscape in which we are nevertheless called to build home. Here, “storytelling is a kind of suturing.”

Combining memoir, lyrical essay, and cultural criticism, KJ Cerankowski's Suture: Trauma and Trans Becoming stitches together an embodied history of trauma and its ongoing impacts on the lived realities of trans, queer, and other marginalized subjects. Suture is a conjuration, a patchwork knitting of ghost stories attending to the wound as its own archive. It is a journey through many “transitions”: of gender; through illness and chronic pain; from childhood to adulthood and back again; of psyche and form in the wake of abuse and through the work of healing; and of the self, becoming in and through the ongoingness of settler colonial violence and its attendant subjugations of diverse forms of life.

Refusing a traditional binary-based gender transition narrative, as well as dominant psychoanalytic narratives of trauma that center an individual process of symptom, diagnosis, and cure, Suture explores the refractive nature of trauma’s dispersed roots and lingering effects. If the wounds of trauma are disquiet apparitions—repetitions within the cut—these stories tend the seams through which the simultaneous loneliness of mourning and togetherness of queer intersubjective relations converge. Across these essays, healing, and indeed living, is a state of perpetual becoming, surviving, and loving, in the nonlinearities of trauma time, body-time, and queer time.
Precarização do trabalho na economia do compartilhamento: a perspectiva de lideranças de associações e de usuários
Authors: Sant Anna Eduardo , Barreto Lais Karla da Silva , Gomes Maria Antunizia
Published: November 2021

A economia do compartilhamento revela-se alternativa aos ambientes de trabalho tradicionais. Propondo ideias de liberdade e flexibilidade, na verdade, sua principal característica é a isenção de responsabilidade em relação aos trabalhadores; caracterizando a precarização nas relações de trabalho. Este trabalho analisou aspectos desta realidade sob a perspectiva de lideranças de associações de trabalhadores e de usuários de serviços na cidade de Natal RN. A pesquisa foi realizada em duas etapas. A primeira, através de entrevistas com os líderes; e a segunda, um questionário com usuários dos serviços. Os resultados permitem concluir que o processo de precarização vivenciado pelos trabalhadores envolvidos oferece um quadro de insegurança e desproteção social com plena fragilidade laboral.

In the ancient times, the Vaidyaraj was expected to develop therapies to prevent or treat diseases. Many times, these physicians prepared medicines freshly using plants cultivated in their gardens or collected from the forests. These were patient based medicines and highly customized for the individual patient (based on nadi pariksha or pulse diagnosis or similar techniques). Similar approaches were used in other ancient cultures of the world such as Egypt, Greece and China. Little changed in the method of diagnosis and treatment till the industrial revolution. In the last century, systematic research led to an in-depth understanding of cell biology and biochemistry. This paved the path of understanding of cause and progression of disease at the cellular level. This helped the development of synthetic drugs such as analgesics and antibiotics during the Second World War. These drugs had a major advantage over the plant-based medicines as they were specific for the disease through receptor binding and treating the symptoms appropriately.

Abattoirs have been purported to be ideal areas were possible microbial contamination of meat products is likely to occur. Food of animal origin, mainly beef, has been identified as a source of dietary protein for humans albeit it being a source of food-borne diseases including zoonoses. This study was carried out to evaluate bacterial contamination and the risk factors associated with contamination of beef carcasses during processing. A total of four abattoirs were sampled within three months with one in Namwala and three in Lusaka districts. A total of 314 beef carcass surface swabs were obtained from the neck region by swabbing the carcasses, immediately after evisceration and after washing. Results The results of mean total viable counts (TVC) of carcass contamination were enumerated as the mean log from 4.7 Log10 cfu/cm2 in an abattoir where Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) was practiced to 5.8 Log10 cfu/cm2 without HACCP. Bivariate analysis showed a significant difference in carcass contamination when town abattoirs (Lusaka) were compared with rural ones (Namwala); χ2 = 43.87, P < 0.0001. Multiple logistic regression analysis identified poor hygiene practices, the absence of antemortem inspection, and lack of Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) implementation as significant factors associated with carcass contamination. Conclusion A high microbial load as determined by the Total Viable Count is an indicator that beef is being produced under poor abattoir hygiene conditions. Therefore, beef carcasses with high bacterial loads are potential sources of foodborne pathogens leading to foodborne disease and hence there is need for advocating for good hygiene practices in the abattoirs.

Introduction: The advent of bovine mastitis associated antimicrobial resistance has necessitated development of alternative herbal remedies. In this study, we tested, in-vitro, the antimicrobial efficacy of three crude extracts: (1) aqueous, (2) ethanol and (3) ethyl acetate extracts of Zambian cultivated Aloe barbadensis Miller (Aloe vera) and Curcuma longa (Turmeric) and also made comparisons to synthetic anti-mastitis formulations. Methods: The active compounds of these herbs were obtained as crude extracts using water, ethanol and ethyl acetate as solvents. The test microbes comprised of ten standard controls including Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa and 84 field isolates (all gram positive bacteria) from clinical and subclinical mastitis milk samples from selected districts of the Southern Province of Zambia belonging to the genera Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Bacillus and Lactobacillus. The agar dilution method was used to determine the antimicrobial activity by observing the sensitivity which was graded as sensitive, intermediate or resistant. Commercial synthetic anti-mastitis preparations served as positive controls and their sensitivity was compared to that of the herbal preparations. The Minimum Inhibitory Concentrations (MIC) of the herbal formulation was also determined using two-fold serial dilutions. Results: The agar dilution test results of the field isolates indicated 18.8% resistance, 25.3% intermediate and 56% sensitivity for the herbal extracts, while the synthetic anti-mastitis preparation averaged 16.8% resistance, 4.75% intermediate and 78.5% sensitivity. The gram negative controls tested were generally resistant. On average, the agar dilution trials revealed; 41.8% resistance, 13% intermediate and 45.3% sensitivity for the herbal formulation while the synthetic antimicrobials produced 23.5% resistance, 5.2% intermediate and 71.3% sensitivity. Mean MIC was 11.5mg/ml at the 5% serial dilution for the herbal extract compared to the Cephalexin (semi-synthetic antimicrobial) MIC for S. aureus at 0.5mg/L or 0.0005mg/ml. Conclusion: The herbs Aloe vera and Curcuma longa from Zambia showed antimicrobial efficacy on bovine mastitis causing microbes and may be used as a cheaper alternative to synthetic anti-mastitis preparations and as an aid to fight antimicrobial resistance to the benefit of the most affected and resource limited small-scale dairy farmers.

Published: November 2021

Yield of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is highly constrained by water deficit especially when this occurs during the reproductive development. The purpose of the study was to determine the association of the morphophysiological traits with water stress and how this affects grain yield in common beans. A field experiment involving eight common bean genotypes and three water regimes (50 %, 75 %, and 100 % of crop evapotranspiration) was conducted at National Irrigation Research Station, Mazabuka district during the 2012 growing season. A Split plot design with four replications was used; with soil moisture regime (main plot) and the genotypes (subplot). Based on variation in water stress tolerances, 8 test genotypes - Gadra, KE 3, KE 4, ZM 4488, SER 76 SER 180, SER 89 and CAR-ZAR were used. Water stress treatments were imposed at pre-flowering stage and was discontinued after 43 days when the crop was in its late reproductive stage. Significant differences were found among genotypes for Chlorophyll a (Chl a), Chlorophyll b (Chl b), Total Chlorophyll, Relative water content, Grain yield, Number pods per, Seed weight, Seeds per pod and Days to 50 % flowering under the three water stress conditions. The grain yield in normally irrigated condition (2191.3 kg ha-1) was 60 % higher than in high water stress condition (866.2 kg ha-1), while in the low water stress condition (1078.3 kg ha-1), the reduction in grain yield was 50.8 %. There were significant genotype by environment showing that the genotypes behaved differently under the different growing conditions. Results suggested that Gadra, KE 4, ZM 4488, and SER 180 were water stress tolerant while the SER 89, CAR-ZAR, KE 3 and SER 76 were water stress sensitive genotypes. These results suggest that a selection method based on 100 SW, Chl a, Chl b, and NPP can be used in breeding for bean genotypes to water stress.

Published: November 2021

Cyber-attacks are the attacks that target organizations and individuals either as a tool for other activities like identity theft, stalking, etc. or with a computer as a crime object like phishing, hacking, and spamming. Cyber-attacks are rapidly increasing and making cyber security a major concern currently. When launched successfully, cyber-attacks can cause massive damage to individuals and businesses. Hence, immediate response is mandatory to contain the situation in case cyber-attacks occur. In this paper, we will discuss the history, present and future of cyber-attacks and measures for organizations to prevent those attacks in future. The ever-elusive strategies and suspicious nature of criminals should also be identified. We have outlined some of the practices to prevent those attacks while recommending incidence response measures and updates in enterprises.
A WSN-based maritime border alert system to protect fishermen
Authors: T Thomas Leonid , M Mary Grace Neela
Published: November 2021

The safety of fisherman has become a big issue in Tamil Nādu because of fishermen invading the Sri Lankan border. This initiative primarily seeks to save fishermen's lives by tracking the location of their boats and alerting them to the boundary limit, which is then sent to the control centre. A pulse detector is also included, which aids in the monitoring of the fishermen's health. The concept is built around an embedded system that protects fisherman by alerting them to the country's border via a wireless sensor network (WSN) and a global mobile communication system (GSM). Each zone in the region has a different function, but they all have four things in common: they're all in the same general area. While fishing, if the fisherman ignores or fails to see the display, the alarm will go off, alerting him and slowing down the boat as it gets close to the forbidden zone. It includes a pulse oximeter as well; in case the user has any health issues. This information is sent to the command centre.
An analysis of anomalous propagation parameters and its effect on the intensity of clutter in weather radars
Authors: R BIBRAJ , B. ARUL MALAR KANNAN , K. RAMACHANDRA RAO , K. C. SAIKRISHNAN
Published: November 2021

Weather radar is used by forecasters for identifying storms and estimating its corresponding precipitation. Anomalous propagation of the radar beam may lead to misinterpretation of the weather events and associated errors in precipitation estimates. As the weather radar transmits electromagnetic waves, it is affected by the refractive index of the atmosphere which depends on the temperature, pressure and water vapor content. It is important to understand the refractive index of the atmosphere and how it affects the beam propagation of the radar to interpret the echoes better. Meteorological conditions causing anomalous propagation is well described in literature by Battan (1973), Doviak and Zrnik (2006) and Rinehart (2001). The vertical refractivity gradient (VRG) affects the propagation of radio waves in the atmosphere (Gossard, 1977). These anomalous propagation cause clutter to be displayed in the radar images. The intensity of the clutter was differentiated into various groups by the amount of clutter present in the radar image. Refractivity parameters at various heights and the height of the temperature inversion layer were calculated using radiosonde observational data at the Visakhapatnam (VSK) station. The observed values from the radiosonde data were compared with the intensity groups and it was found that three parameters were influential in determining the intensity of the clutter which is the presence of the temperature inversion layer above the radar, the VRG of the temperature inversion layer above the radar and the VRG from the radar to a height of 1 km from sea level.

Published: November 2021

Effective utilization of photovoltaic (PV) plants requires weather variability robust global solar radiation (GSR) forecasting models. Random weather turbulence phenomena coupled with assumptions of clear sky model as suggested by Hottel pose significant challenges to parametric &non-parametric models in GSR conversion rate estimation. Also, a decent GSR estimate requires costly high-tech radiometer and expert dependent instrument handling and measurements, which are subjective. As such, a computer aided monitoring (CAM) system to evaluate PV plant operation feasibility by employing smart grid past data analytics and deep learning is developed. Our algorithm, SolarisNet is a 6-layer deep neural network trained on data collected at two weather stations located near Kalyani metrological site, West Bengal, India. The daily GSR prediction performance using SolarisNet outperforms the existing state of art and its efficacy in inferring past GSR data insights to comprehend daily and seasonal GSR variability along with its competence for short term forecasting is discussed.
Meteorological drought assessment using standardized precipitation index for different agro-climatic zones of Odisha
Authors: BALRAM PANIGRAHI , FANAI LIANSANGPUII
Published: November 2021

In this paper standardized precipitation index (SPI) is used to assess meteorological drought for all 30 districts covering 10 agro-climatic zones in an eastern Indian state, Odisha. Monthly rainfall data of 115 years (1901-2015) for all 30 districts of Odisha are analyzed using SPI on 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12-month timescale. These timescales reflect the impact of drought on the availability of different water resources. Results indicate that in all the agro-climatic zones of Odisha, mild drought events have the highest frequencies of occurrence followed by moderate drought events for different timescales. Severe and extreme drought frequencies are comparatively lesser than mild and moderate drought frequencies. SPI analysis shows that 32-46 years are affected by mild drought, 4-16 years affected by moderate drought, 1-9 years are affected by severe drought and 1-5 years are affected by extreme drought during study period of 115 years in different agro-climatic zones of Odisha. It is observed 50.3% areas in the state are affected by drought in June out of which chances of occurrence of mild drought is maximum (28.7%). In the months of July, August and September, 51.7, 48.5 and 46.1% areas are affected by droughts. On average 49.15% areas of the entire state is affected by drought of various intensities out of which the share of mild, moderate, severe and extreme drought is 28.38, 13.28, 5.06 and 2.43%, respectively.
THE ROLE OF THE SPIRIT BAPTISM IN PAULINE ESCHATOLOGY
Authors: Hinna Jefri
Published: November 2021

This paper presents the eschatological view of the Spirit Baptism in Paul’s writing.  The Spirit Baptism and eschatology in Paul’s perspective are thoughts that function hand in hand with each other and cannot be separated.  In Paul, Spirit Baptism is the fulfilment of the Old Testament promise in which God declares to His people that He will be with (stay among) His people through the pouring out of His Spirit.  This promise is understood by His people as the eschatological promise of God.  This pouring out of the Spirit upon God’s people should be understood as the doctrine of Spirit Baptism which has eschatological role in Paul’s theology.  This paper will emphasize the background of Paul’s understanding of the Spirit Baptism as it relates to the soteriological dimension work of the Holy Spirit.
Menciptakan Suasana Perjumpaan Antar-Agama: Refleksi Filosofis Etika Global Hans Küng
Authors: Wera Marz
Published: November 2021

Indonesia faces the problem of differences for many year ago until now. Even though, Pancasila symbolizes the unity but mostly in religious relationship have a cliff between ''us’’ and ‘’them’’ for many reasons recently. Another problem emerges in area of  Religious pluralism, makes the situation more difficult. The reality of religious diversity is isolated by misleading and shallow interpretations. The space for dialogue is insulated by religious formalism and theological claims of truth. The dialogue of agreement, both inclusivism and pluralism, has not been able to knit religious plurality. Traditions, symbols, rituals, ethical dimensions and universal core in religious dialogue as a precondition do not find space. In this context, the author is trying to offer the idea of "Global Ethics" by Hans Küng as a new understanding of religious dialogue.

 

===

Indonesia menghadapi masalah perbedaan selama bertahun-tahun yang lalu hingga sekarang. Meskipun Pancasila melambangkan persatuan, tetapi sebagian besar dalam hubungan agama memiliki jurang antara '' kami 'dan' mereka 'karena banyak alasan baru-baru ini. Masalah lain muncul di bidang pluralisme agama, membuat situasi lebih sulit. Realitas keragaman agama diisolasi dengan interpretasi yang menyesatkan dan dangkal. Ruang untuk dialog terisolasi oleh formalisme agama dan klaim kebenaran teologis. Dialog kesepakatan, baik inklusivisme dan pluralisme, belum mampu merajut pluralitas agama. Tradisi, simbol, ritual, dimensi etis, dan inti universal dalam dialog keagamaan sebagai prasyarat tidak menemukan ruang. Dalam konteks ini, penulis menawarkan ide "Global Ethics" oleh Hans Küng sebagai pemahaman baru tentang dialog agama.
Model Pelayanan Pastoral Konseling terhadap Orang Sakit berdasarkan Lukas 10:33-35
Authors: Simbolon Sori Tjandrah
Published: November 2021

Pastoral counseling services for the sick are services that complement the services that have been carried out by health workers and other officers who want to help patients experience healing. Pastoral counseling services are different from other services in general, because these services not only emphasize physical healing but services that touch all aspects of human life, both physically, mentally and spiritually. This ministry emphasizes service so that people when they are experiencing pain can understand God's plan in their lives, and they can even accept pain as a tool for paradigm change and be able to improve their behavior so that they become better and healthier individuals.

 

====

Pelayanan pastoral konseling terhadap orang sakit adalah pelayanan yang memperlengkapi pelayanan yang selama ini dilakukan oleh para petugas kesehatan dan petugas lainnya yang ingin menolong para pasien mengalami kesembuhan.  Pelayanan pastoral konseling berbeda dengan pelayanan lainnya secara umum, karena pelayanan ini bukan hanya menekankan pada penyembuhan secara fisik saja tetapi pelayanan yang meyentuh seluruh aspek kehidupan manusia, baik secara fisik, jiwa dan roh/spiritualnya.  Pelayanan ini menekankan pada pelayanan agar manusia saat mengalami sakit dapat memahami rencana Allah dalam hidupnya, dan bahkan mereka dapat menerima rasa sakit sebagai alat bagi perubahan paradigma dan mampu memperbaiki perilaku mereka agar mereka menjadi pribadi yang lebih baik dan lebih sehat.

Penelitian ini adalah penelitian lapangan dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan tujuan menjelaskan (1) Pola tuturan mahasiswa dalam merealisasikan strategi kesantunan dalam percakapan tatap muka dan melalui Whatsapp (2) Penggunaan deiksis pronomina persona dan deiksis sosial dalam tuturan mahasiswa, dan (3) Perbedaan pengaruh komunikasi langsung dan melalui Whatsapp terhadap realisasi pemilihan strategi kesantunan bertutur mahasiswa. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pola tutur mahasiswa dalam pembelajaran baik secara luring maupun daring melalui aplikasi Whatsapp tidak mengalami perbedaan yang signifikan. Perbedaan tampak pada dominasi pola yang terbentuk dari upaya merealisasikan kesantunan bertutur. Pola dominan yang terbentuk dari tuturan mahasiswa dalam pembelajaran luring yaitu (-P) + (-D) + (+R) dengan menggunakan strategi kesantunan terus terang (STT) sedangkan dalam pembelajaran daring terbentuk pola (-P) + (-D) + (-R) dengan menggunakan strategi kesantunan Negatif (SKN). Berdasarkan temuan tersebut dalam diindikasikan bahwa tuturan mahasiswa dalam pembelajaran Luring cenderung mengabaikan perbedaan status sosial maupun jarak atau keakraban karena memaksimalkan ancaman muka lawan tutur sedangkan dalam pembelajaran secara daring melalui whatsapp, mahasiswa berupaya menghormati atau menyelamatkan muka lawan tutur karena adanya perbedaan status sosial dan jarak. Perbedaan penggunaan deiksis sosial tampak dalam tuturan mahasiswa melalui pembalajran secara daring seperti ibu sayang, ibu cantik, ibu dosen sebagai upaya untuk mendekatkan jarak atau keakraban karena perbedaan status sosial.

Experimental results shows that all electrical parameters of solar cell such as maximum output power, open circuit voltage, short circuit current, and fill factor beside efficiency have been changed with temperature. According to results, the most significant is the temperature dependence of the voltage which decreases with increasing temperature while the current of cells slightly increases by temperature. The fill factor and the efficiency decrease upon increasing temperature. This confirms the fact that the voltage decrease is more significant than the current increase.
Van gedwongen ontslag naar het delen van de pijn: een juridische reflectie

Van gedwongen ontslag naar het delen van de pijn: een juridische reflectie

In dit artikel bespreekt de auteur de voordelen voor zowel werkgevers als werknemers van noodgedwongen tijdelijk minder werken in geval van economische tegenwind boven gedwongen ontslagen. Niet alle werknemers zullen echter een dienovereenkomstige tijdelijke verlaging van hun loon kunnen of willen accepteren. Dat probleem kan echter worden opgelost door een overheidssubsidie. Voor de overheid lijkt het financieel aantrekkelijker te zijn om een dergelijke tijdelijke loonsverlaging aan te vullen in plaats van werkloosheidsuitkeringen te moeten verstrekken. Als grootste obstakel in het realiseren van het voorstel van De Beer om de loonsom automatisch mee te laten bewegen met de omzet zie ik het gebrek aan vertrouwen tussen sociale partners. Dat belet meerjarige afspraken. Ook het verschillend uitpakken van zijn voorstel voor groepen van werknemers is een probleem. De juridische bezwaren hangen daar deels mee samen. Het vergelijkbare voorstel van de SER omzeilt mijns inziens de grootste bezwaren en lijkt daardoor meer kansrijk.

Collectief ontslag in tijden van (economische) crisis

In deze bijdrage onderzoeken auteurs of in de Wmco wel voldoende rekening is gehouden met ontslag in en van de flexibele schil en zo nee, of aanpassing van de Wmco dan gewenst is met het oog op de doelstelling van de Wmco tegen de achtergrond van de huidige flexibele arbeidsmarkt. Daarnaast onderzoeken zij de rol van de overheid bij een collectief ontslag en meer specifiek over de NOW-1 en NOW-2 en de verhouding tot ondernemersvrijheden. De NOW-1 en -2 beperkten namelijk in zekere zin de vrijheid van ondernemingen om beslissingen te nemen over een collectief ontslag en de vraag is hoe die beperkingen ten aanzien van collectief ontslag zich verhouden tot de ondernemersvrijheden.
Pozasądowe metody rozwiązywania sporów między państwami członkowskimi w obszarze koordynacji systemów zabezpieczenia społecznego – opis dostępnych procedur
Authors: Sypniewska Grażyna
Published: November 2021

Przepisy o unijnej koordynacji systemów zabezpieczenia społecznego mają fundamentalne znaczenie dla realizacji traktatowej zasady swobodnego przepływu osób. Stosowanie rozporządzeń nr 883/2004 i 987/2009 napotyka jednak w praktyce trudności i staje się przedmiotem sporów między państwami członkowskimi. Spory te dotyczą sposobu interpretacji przepisów unijnych, bądź okoliczności faktycznych istotnych dla oceny danej sprawy. Przedłużające się, niezałatwione konflikty między administracjami państw członkowskich, z jednej strony generują koszty i obciążenia dla zaangażowanych w nie instytucji, z drugiej uderzają w zaufanie obywateli i przedsiębiorców do prawa UE i stawiają pod znakiem zapytania skuteczność ochrony socjalnej, której przepisy o koordynacji mają być gwarantem. Kwestia szybkiego i ostatecznego rozwiązywania sporów ma więc doniosłe znaczenie praktyczne, zarówno w sensie systemowym, jak i jednostkowym.
Spory z obszaru koordynacji systemów zabezpieczenia społecznego mogą być rozstrzygane w postępowaniach sądowych, prowadzonych przed sądami krajowymi lub TSUE, albo
w postępowaniach pozasądowych, opartych na formule dialogu, koncyliacji, a już wkrótce także mediacji między administracjami państw członkowskich. Niniejszy artykuł ma na celu omówienie dostępnych pozasądowych metod rozwiązywania sporów między państwami członkowskimi. Zagadnienie to zasługuje na pogłębioną analizę, gdyż ostatnie lata przyniosły istotne zmiany w tej materii. Głównymi czynnikami rozwoju były nowe rozstrzygnięcia TSUE oraz powołanie do życia w 2019 r. Europejskiego Urzędu ds. Pracy.
Commodities trend link prediction on heterogeneous information networks
Authors: do Carmo P. , Reis Filho I. J. , Marcacini R.
Published: November 2021

Events can be defined as an action or a series of actions that have a determined theme, time, and place. Event analysis tasks for knowledge extraction from news and social media have been explored in recent years. However, there are still few studies that aim to enrich predictive models using event data. In particular, agribusiness events have multiple components to be considered for a successful prediction model. For example, price trend predictions for commodities can be performed through time series analysis of prices, but we can also consider events that represent knowledge about external factors during the training step of predictive models. In this paper, we present a method for integrating events into trend prediction tasks. First, we propose to model events and time-series information through heterogeneous information networks (HIN) that allow multiple components to be directly modeled through multi-type nodes and edges. Second, we learn features from HIN through network embedding methods, i.e., network nodes are mapped to a dense vector of features. In particular, we propose a network embedding method that propagates the semantic of the pre-trained neural language models to a heterogeneous information network and evaluates its performance in a trend link prediction. We show that the use of our proposed model language-based embedding propagation is competitive with state-of-art network embeddings algorithms. Moreover, our proposal performs network embedding incrementally, thereby allowing new events to be inserted in the same semantic space without rebuilding the entire network embedding.
