Authors: Long Bui Hong , Cong Nguyen Chi , Binh Tran Van
Published: September 2019

Nha Trang bay is considered one of the 29 most beautiful bays in the world. This is a coastal area with potential for tourism development with many beautiful clean beaches and dozens of large and small islands. In 2016, Nha Trang has attracted 5 million tourists including 1.2 million international tourists. Recently, while the development of tourism in the country tends to slow down, Nha Trang tourism in the period 2011–2016 increased by 19%/year on average. According to the statistics of Khanh Hoa province, Nha Trang tourism occupies 99% of the province. The number of hotels located in the immediate vicinity of Nha Trang’s central beach is 98% within 500 m from the coastline. In order to develop sustainable tourism, in addition to good management and protection of coastal and estuarine beach environments, more attention should be paid to the rehabilitation, expansion and development of the beach in the northern and southern areas to relieve pressure on the central beach and expand the investment potential and tourism development of Nha Trang city. According to survey data and the calculations based on a local project between Institute of Oceanography and Khanh Hoa province: "Identifying areas capable of rehabilitating and developing artificial beach and proposing solution for protection of natural beaches in Nha Trang Bay" (2014–2016), three beach nourishment scenarios have been simulated and evaluated, suggesting a number of potential areas for rehabilitation and artificial nourishment for the western coast of Nha Trang bay.

Published: September 2019

ABSTRACT In this review, we discuss the therapies used in the treatment of patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy since the first description of the disease. A short description is given of the various theories based on disease pathogenesis, which give the substrates for the many therapeutic interventions. A brief review of the methods of evaluation used in therapeutic trials is made. Of all the treatments, the only drugs that are still considered able to modify the course of the disease are the corticosteroids (prednisone/prednisolone/deflazacort). Other drugs (coenzyme Q10 and creatine) have had a little effect in a few functions without adverse reactions. Idebenone seems to improve the respiratory function in the long term. The trials with mRNA transcription, through nonsense mutations or exon 51 skipping, show some beneficial results in a few functional tests, but they are limited to a small set of DMD patients.

Published: September 2019

ABSTRACT The Word Accentuation Test (WAT) has been used to predict premorbid intelligence and cognitive performance in Spanish-speaking populations. It requires participants to read a list of words without the accent marks that indicate the stressed syllable. Objective: As Portuguese pronunciation is also strongly based on accent marks, our aim was to develop a Brazilian version of the WAT. Methods: An initial pool of 60 items was constructed and a final version of 40 items (named WAT-Br) was derived by item response theory. A sample of 206 older adults underwent the WAT-Br and a standardized neuropsychological battery. Independent ratings were performed by two observers in 58 random participants. Results: The items showed moderate to high discrimination (α between 0.93 and 25.04) and spanned a wide range of difficulty (β between −2.07 and 1.40). The WAT-Br was shown to have an excellent internal consistency (Kuder-Richardson Formula 20 = 0.95) and inter-rater reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.92). It accounted for 61% of the variance in global cognitive performance. Conclusion: A version of the WAT for Portuguese-speaking populations was developed and proved to be a valuable tool for estimating cognitive performance.

Published: September 2019

ABSTRACT Huntington disease (HD) is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder characterized by movement disorders, cognitive impairment, and psychiatric symptoms. Relatives of HD patients experience a great burden as the latter suffer from altered social conduct and deterioration of interpersonal relationships. Theory of mind (ToM) is the ability to attribute mental states (to oneself and others). Deficits in ToM are thought to have a role in the changes in empathy and interpersonal difficulties that HD patients face. Methods: We conducted a cross sectional study to compare ToM task scores of patients with mild to moderate HD, their relatives (spouse or at-risk first-degree relative with a negative gene test) and controls.Individuals with dementia or depression were excluded. The ToM test battery included Spanish versions of the Reading Mind in the Eyes Test (RMET), Happé's Strange Stories (Social and Physical Stories subtests) and the Hinting Task. Results: The series comprised 12 HD patients, 12 relatives and 12 controls. The HD patients showed lower affective ToM scores than controls (RMET 19 [3.5] vs 23.9 [2.7], p = 0.016). Cognitive ToM tasks scores were lower in HD patients than controls as well (Happé's Social Stories 9 [2.6] vs 13 [1.9], p = 0.001; the Hinting Task 13.6 [3.4] vs 17.5 [4.0], p = 0.009). In the Hinting Task, HD relatives had lower scores in than controls (13 [3.2] vs 17.5 [4.0], p = 0.009) and similar scores to controls in the rest of the battery. Conclusion: The HD patients with mild to moderate disease severity and their relatives show ToM deficits.

Published: September 2019

Abstract: Ethnobiological studies are necessary to understand the relationships between fishers and cetaceans. The aim of this study was to describe the interactions between cetaceans and artisanal fishers and the possible conflicts that can arise as a result. Semi-structured interviews were conducted from February to September 2017 with 35 fishermen from the municipality of Ilhéus, Brazil. All fishermen reported both positive and negative interactions with Megaptera novaeangliae, Tursiops truncatus and Sotalia guianensis and only negative interactions with Balaenoptera acutorostrata (n=14) and Stenella frontalis (n=4). The positive interactions consisted of playful relationships and collaborative fishing. Negative interactions (bycatch, entanglement, collisions) affect both the fishermen and cetaceans. S. guianensis is the species most affected by bycatch in fishing nets and M. novaeangliae by entanglement and collision with vessels. The results of this study highlight the value of bringing together scientific and fishing communities to understand conflicts by monitoring interactions in order to assess the impact of fishing activity on cetacean populations. Fishers have a positive perception of cetaceans, know the areas where accidents occur and would like to avoid them. They can contribute to research on these animals and to the development of management plans appropriate to the local reality. This points out the need to integrate scientific and local knowledge for the conservation of cetaceans and for the sustainability of fishing practices.

Interaction-Aware Factorization Machines for Recommender Systems
Authors: Hong Fuxing , Huang Dongbo , Chen Ge
Published: September 2019

Factorization Machine (FM) is a widely used supervised learning approach by effectively modeling of feature interactions. Despite the successful application of FM and its many deep learning variants, treating every feature interaction fairly may degrade the performance. For example, the interactions of a useless feature may introduce noises; the importance of a feature may also differ when interacting with different features. In this work, we propose a novel model named Interaction-aware Factorization Machine (IFM) by introducing Interaction-Aware Mechanism (IAM), which comprises the feature aspect and the field aspect, to learn flexible interactions on two levels. The feature aspect learns feature interaction importance via an attention network while the field aspect learns the feature interaction effect as a parametric similarity of the feature interaction vector and the corresponding field interaction prototype. IFM introduces more structured control and learns feature interaction importance in a stratified manner, which allows for more leverage in tweaking the interactions on both feature-wise and field-wise levels. Besides, we give a more generalized architecture and propose Interaction-aware Neural Network (INN) and DeepIFM to capture higher-order interactions. To further improve both the performance and efficiency of IFM, a sampling scheme is developed to select interactions based on the field aspect importance. The experimental results from two well-known datasets show the superiority of the proposed models over the state-of-the-art methods.
Learning to Adaptively Scale Recurrent Neural Networks
Authors: Hu Hao , Wang Liqiang , Qi Guo-Jun
Published: September 2019

Recent advancements in recurrent neural network (RNN) research have demonstrated the superiority of utilizing multiscale structures in learning temporal representations of time series. Currently, most of multiscale RNNs use fixed scales, which do not comply with the nature of dynamical temporal patterns among sequences. In this paper, we propose Adaptively Scaled Recurrent Neural Networks (ASRNN), a simple but efficient way to handle this problem. Instead of using predefined scales, ASRNNs are able to learn and adjust scales based on different temporal contexts, making them more flexible in modeling multiscale patterns. Compared with other multiscale RNNs, ASRNNs are bestowed upon dynamical scaling capabilities with much simpler structures, and are easy to be integrated with various RNN cells. The experiments on multiple sequence modeling tasks indicate ASRNNs can efficiently adapt scales based on different sequence contexts and yield better performances than baselines without dynamical scaling abilities.
Efficient Quantization for Neural Networks with Binary Weights and Low Bitwidth Activations
Authors: Huang Kun , Ni Bingbing , Yang Xiaokang
Published: September 2019

Quantization has shown stunning efficiency on deep neural network, especially for portable devices with limited resources. Most existing works uncritically extend weight quantization methods to activations. However, we take the view that best performance can be obtained by applying different quantization methods to weights and activations respectively. In this paper, we design a new activation function dubbed CReLU from the quantization perspective and further complement this design with appropriate initialization method and training procedure. Moreover, we develop a specific quantization strategy in which we formulate the forward and backward approximation of weights with binary values and quantize the activations to low bitwdth using linear or logarithmic quantizer. We show, for the first time, our final quantized model with binary weights and ultra low bitwidth activations outperforms the previous best models by large margins on ImageNet as well as achieving nearly a 10.85× theoretical speedup with ResNet-18. Furthermore, ablation experiments and theoretical analysis demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of CReLU in comparison with other activation functions.
Tensorial Change Analysis Using Probabilistic Tensor Regression
Authors: Idé Tsuyoshi
Published: September 2019

This paper proposes a new method for change detection and analysis using tensor regression. Change detection in our setting is to detect changes in the relationship between the input tensor and the output scalar while change analysis is to compute the responsibility score of individual tensor modes and dimensions for the change detected. We develop a new probabilistic tensor regression method, which can be viewed as a probabilistic generalization of the alternating least squares algorithm. Thanks to the probabilistic formulation, the derived change scores have a clear information-theoretic interpretation. We apply our method to semiconductor manufacturing to demonstrate the utility. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work of change analysis based on probabilistic tensor regression.

Notes on the Proposed Amendment of Section 21 of the Children's Act 38 of 2005
Authors: Heaton Jacqueline
Published: September 2019

In terms of section 21 of the Children's Act 38 of 2005, an unmarried father acquires full parental responsibilities and rights in respect of his child if he lives with the child's mother in a permanent life-partnership when the child is born. He also acquires full parental responsibilities and rights if, regardless of whether or not he has ever lived with the child's mother, he consents or successfully applies to be identified as the child's father or pays damages in terms of customary law, and contributes or attempts in good faith to contribute to the child's upbringing and maintenance for a reasonable period. Several provisions of section 21 are unclear and/or unsatisfactory. The draft Children's Amendment Bill, 2018 seeks to address problematic aspects of the section. Unfortunately, the proposed amendments to section 21 leave one disappointed. Although some of the amendments are welcome, the draft Bill fails to address several of the uncertainties flowing from the current wording of section 21 and even creates additional uncertainties. The wording of many of the amendments has not been properly thought through, and the draft Bill fails to address the key question of whether the requirements in section 21(1)(b) operate conjunctively or independently.

Well-care in Tondo’s Slums: Women-Driven Vocational Learning Knowledge Hubs Toward 2030’s Sustainable Development Goals
Authors: Fraizer L.
Published: September 2019

Worldwide efforts—such as Sustainable Development Goals and its predecessor Millennium Development Goals—historically offers country policy makers, industry leaders, and proactive citizens an aspirational guiding charter for actions needed to address complex issues that our planet and its inhabitants are facing such as adversities related to poverty, employability, quality education and holistic health. Households who are fighting for mere subsistence often depend on its youngest to work and contribute to the family’s economic livelihood and survival. It is not uncommon, for instance, for some children from residential-industrial parts of Tondo to forego free compulsory primary school education in order to scour landfill for valuables that can be traded or sold for basic necessities such as food and water. Millions of impoverished others experience similar hardships around the world. As nationwide achievement is highly dependent upon the well-being of a thriving population—educational opportunities can be pragmatic for those who pursue it if basic needs can be met—holistic well-care for human and economic survival. Entrepreneurship cases are explored, specifically vocational life skills investments by female entrepreneurs which include digital literacy and basic well-being practices.

The article deals with the problem of the dynamics of psychological well-being of students. It is focused on the role of conscious self-regulation of learning activities in ensuring the students’ psychological well-being stability during their transition from the primary to the middle stage of the secondary school. The main task of the empirical research was to identify, on the basis of longitudinal data, the features of the conscious self-regulation in the students with different trajectories of psychological well-being. The sample of the study consisted of the secondary school students (N = 298).The first stage of the longitudinal study was carried out in grade 4, the second stage — 6—8 months later, when students moved to grade 5.All in all, 239 people (48% boys) completed the questionnaires in two points of the longitude. The students were examined using a set of diagnostic methods, including "Self-Regulation Profile Questionnaire — Junior "; “Scale of manifestations of psychological well-being of adolescents”, “Scales of academic motivation of schoolchildren”, “Big Five — the children's version”, “Methods of diagnostics of the learning motivation and emotional attitude to learning”. The study allowed to describing three trajectories of changes in the psychological well-being of students during their transition from the primary to the middle school: "Increasing", "Stable" and "Decreasing". The data analysis made it possible to identify significant differences in the students’ regulatory characteristics with regard to selected groups. There are also specific academic motivation, attitudes to learning, and the personal dispositions characterizing students with different psychological well-being trajectories. The study revealed significant influence of the conscious self-regulation development on the various manifestations of the students’ psychological well-being. The obtained results point out the significant resources of well-being for the primary school students at the next stages of schooling. They are such regulatory features as planning goals, programming actions, evaluating their results, and flexibility as the ability to make corrections when the learning conditions change.

Authors: Shulga T.I.
Published: September 2019

The article presents a study of mindfulness as a feature of consciousness in orphan and parentless adolescents. The adolescents’ mindfulness is analysed through their awareness of the ability to achieve positive psychological effects, including psychological well-being and resilience. The study employed the following 9 techniques: the Child and Adolescent Mindfulness Measure (CAMM); the Resilience Scale; the Self-Compassion Scale; the Toronto Empathy Questionnaire; the Ryff’s Psychological Well-Being Scale; the Gratitude Questionnaire; the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire; the scales for measuring readiness to help and aggression in the classroom; the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ).The sample included 20 orphan and parentless adolescents. The study revealed that mindfulness is indeed a factor of psychological well-being. The educators of twenty organizations for orphans and children without parental care assessed the adolescents’ strengths and difficulties in order to evaluate their cognitive emotion regulation abilities.Сorrelation analysis allowed us to identify the relationship of mindfulness, psychological well-being indicators and emotional regulation with a number of social psychological characteristics of personality in the adolescents: indicators of positive psychological effects of mindfulness, in particular, humanity, resilience, competence (environmental management), and decrease of cognitive and emotional reactivity.
The Content and Dynamics of the Motivational Preferences of Modern Younger Schoolchildren and Younger Adolescents
Authors: Danilova E.E.
Published: September 2019

The article presents the results of an empirical study dealing with motivational preferences of children aged 7 to 11.The sample included 526 children studying at comprehensive schools of Moscow region. In order to examine the motivational preferences, a variation of the “Seven-colour flower” method was used. We conducted a comparative analysis of motivations characteristic for modern children and their peers of the Soviet era. It is shown that the motivational preferences of modern school students differ significantly in content, orientation and age dynamics from those of Soviet children of the same age. Modern children are distinguished by the prevalence of personal motivation associated with getting material welfare and self-development; their wishes for other people are mostly addressed to their close relatives. On the contrary, their Soviet peers’ dominating motivation was socially-oriented, with norms and values of their school class community as a priority. The age dynamics of the orientation of motivational preferences is not pronounced in today’s school students. The content and the general structure of motivational preferences revealed in this research reflects objective sociocultural conditions of growing-up in the post-industrial society as well as the change in priorities regulating the work of educational institutions.

The article presents the results of an empirical study of gender characteristics of bullying in adolescence. The study involved 69 adolescents of schools in the city of Tula and the Tula region, aged 13-14 years. The analysis of foreign and Russian psychological studies on the problem of school bullying made it possible to identify the following gender characteristics of bullying in adolescence: forms of bullying are different in boys and girls; in teenage boys, bullying is more related to power struggles; as for teenage girls, bullying is more psychologized and emotionally destructive. To establish the closeness of the relationship between the indicators “gender / type of behaviour in conflict” and “gender / type of aggression”, statistical data processing was performed using the Spearman's rank correlation coefficient, Pearson’s Chi-squared (х2) test and Cramér’s V coefficient. The obtained empirical data allowed us to identify “risk groups” in the experimental sample and to outline the areas of focus for school psychologists to prevent the risks of school bullying.

Regional networks of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) stations cover seismically and volcanically active areas throughout the United States. Data from these networks have been used to produce high-precision, three-component velocity fields covering broad geographic regions as well as position time series that track time-varying crustal deformation. This information has contributed to assessing interseismic strain accumulation and related seismic hazard, revealed previously unknown occurrences of aseismic fault slip, constrained coseismic slip estimates, and enabled monitoring of volcanic unrest and postseismic deformation. In addition, real-time GNSS data are now widely available. Such observations proved invaluable for tracking the rapidly evolving eruption of Kīlauea in 2018. Real-time earthquake source modeling using GNSS data is being incorporated into tsunami warning systems, and a vigorous research effort is focused on quantifying the contribution that real-time GNSS can make to improve earthquake early warnings as part of the Advanced National Seismic System ShakeAlert system. Real-time GNSS data can also aid in the tracking of ionospheric disturbances and precipitable water vapor for weather forecasting. Although regional GNSS and seismic networks generally have been established independently, their spatial footprints often overlap, and in some cases the same institution operates both types of networks. Further integration of GNSS and seismic networks would promote joint use of the two data types to better characterize earthquake sources and ground motion as well as offer opportunities for more efficient network operations. Looking ahead, upgrading network stations to leverage new GNSS technology could enable more precise positioning and robust real-time operations. New computational approaches such as machine learning have the potential to enable full utilization of the large amounts of data generated by continuous GNSS networks. Development of seafloor Global Positioning System-acoustic networks would provide unique information for fundamental and applied research on subduction zone seismic hazard and, potentially, monitoring.

Published: September 2019

Background: The Federation of Musical Societies of the Valencian Community (FSMCV) is a democratic association created 50 years ago, which represents and supports the 550 associations that make it up, with the aim of promoting, disseminating and teaching music. It promotes associationism and provides society with a way of developing cultural articulation, mainly developing its activities within the Valencian Community, although its national and international activity is very remarkable.
Methodology: This article based on a prospective study using a qualitative methodology analyzes one of the proposals made to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the FSMCV through the use and application of the collaborative creation system Soundcool where more than 100 students from music schools in the Valencian Community played with their own mobile devices. In order to obtain the results of this study: unstructured interviews; focus group; articipant observation and analysis of the audiovisual material collected through the different previous preparation meetings were taken into account, as well as the product of the final perforation collected by the researchers.
Main Findings: The results obtained with the introduction of creative elements and strategies through new digital tools such as Soundcool, allow new spaces in the teaching of music students further integrating contemporary languages and creativity, as well as promoting their digital competence.
Implications: Also with this type of proposals through the FSMCV, we reinforce the creative commitment through the production of sound by students of music schools.
