Editing New Testament Arabic Manuscripts in a TEI-base: fostering close reading in Digital Humanities
Authors: Clivaz Claire , Schulthess Sara , Sankar Martial
Published: June 2021

Accepté pour un numéro spécial JDMDH (ed. M. Büchler et L. Mellerin); version finale (v4)

If one is convinced that " quantitative research provides data not interpretation " [Moretti, 2005, 9], close reading should thus be considered as not only the necessary bridge between big data and interpretation but also the core duty of the Humanities. To test its potential in a neglected field – the Arabic manuscripts of the Letters of Paul of Tarsus – an enhanced, digital edition has been in development as a progression of a Swiss National Fund project. This short paper presents the development of this edition and perspectives regarding a second project. Based on the Edition Visualization Technology tool, the digital edition provides a transcription of the Arabic text, a standardized and vocalized version, as well as French translation with all texts encoded in TEI XML. Thanks to another Swiss National Foundation subsidy, a new research project on the unique New Testament, trilingual (Greek-Latin-Arabic) manuscript, the Marciana Library Gr. Z. 11 (379), 12th century, is currently underway. This project includes new features such as " Textlink " , " Hotspot " and notes: HumaReC.
Deception in Speeches of Candidates for Public Office
Authors: Skillicorn David , Leuprecht Christian
Published: June 2021

The contribution of this article is twofold: the adaptation and application of models of deception from psychology, combined with data-mining techniques, to the text of speeches given by candidates in the 2008 U.S. presidential election; and the observation of both short-term andmedium-term differences in the levels of deception. Rather than considering the effect of deception on voters, deception is used as a lens through which to observe the self-perceptions of candidates and campaigns. The method of analysis is fully automated and requires no human coding, and so can be applied to many other domains in a straightforward way. The authors posit explanations for the observed variation in terms of a dynamic tension between the goals of campaigns at each moment in time, for example gaps between their view of the candidate’s persona and the persona expected for the position; and the difficulties of crafting and sustaining a persona, for example, the cognitive cost and the need for apparent continuity with past actions and perceptions. The changes in the resulting balance provide a new channel by which to understand the drivers of political campaigning, a channel that is hard to manipulate because its markers are created subconsciously.

Special ISSUE VSST 2016

This paper proposes an ontological integration model for credit risk management. It is based on three ontologies; one is global describing credit risk management process and two other locals, the first, describes the credit granting process, and the second presents the concepts necessary for the monitoring of credit system. This paper also presents the technique used for matching between global ontology and local ontologies.
Intertextual Pointers in the Text Alignment Network
Authors: Kalvesmaki Joel
Published: June 2021

The Text Alignment Network (TAN) is a suite of XML encoding formats intended to serve anyone who wishes to encode, exchange, and study multiple versions of texts (e.g., translations, paraphrases), and annotations on those texts (e.g., quotations, word-for-word correspondences). This article focuses on TAN’s innovative intertextual pointers, which, I argue, provide an unprecedented level of readability, interoperability, and semantic context. Because TAN is a new, experimental format, this article provides a brief introduction to the format and concludes with comments on progress and future prospects.
Measuring and Mapping Intergeneric Allusion in Latin Poetry using Tesserae
Authors: Burns Patrick J.
Published: June 2021

Most intertextuality in classical poetry is unmarked, that is, it lacks objective signposts to make readers aware of the presence of references to existing texts. Intergeneric relationships can pose a particular problem as scholarship has long privileged intertextual relationships between works of the same genre. This paper treats the influence of Latin love elegy on Lucan’s epic poem, Bellum Civile, by looking at two features of unmarked intertextuality: frequency and distribution. I use the Tesserae project to generate a dataset of potential intertexts between Lucan’s epic and the elegies of Tibullus, Propertius, and Ovid, which are then aggregrated and mapped in Lucan’s text. This study draws two conclusions: 1. measurement of intertextual frequency shows that the elegists contribute fewer intertexts than, for example, another epic poem (Virgil’s Aeneid), though far more than the scholarly record on elegiac influence in Lucan would suggest; and 2. mapping the distribution of intertexts confirms previous scholarship on the influence of elegy on the Bellum Civile by showing concentrations of matches, for example, in Pompey and Cornelia’s meeting before Pharsalus (5.722-815) or during the affair between Caesar and Cleopatra (10.53-106). By looking at both frequency and proportion, we can demonstrate systematically the generic enrichment of Lucan’s Bellum Civile with respect to Latin love elegy.

Authors: Shao Hsuan-Lei , Huang Sieh-Chuen , Tsai Yun-Cheng
Published: June 2021

With the rapid evolution of cross-strait situation, "Mainland China" as a
subject of social science study has evoked the voice of "Rethinking China
Study" among intelligentsia recently. This essay tried to apply an automatic
content analysis tool (CATAR) to the journal "Mainland China Studies"
(1998-2015) in order to observe the research trends based on the clustering of
text from the title and abstract of each paper in the journal. The results
showed that the 473 articles published by the journal were clustered into seven
salient topics. From the publication number of each topic over time (including
"volume of publications", "percentage of publications"), there are two major
topics of this journal while other topics varied over time widely. The
contribution of this study includes: 1. We could group each "independent" study
into a meaningful topic, as a small scale experiment verified that this topic
clustering is feasible. 2. This essay reveals the salient research topics and
their trends for the Taiwan journal "Mainland China Studies". 3. Various
topical keywords were identified, providing easy access to the past study. 4.
The yearly trends of the identified topics could be viewed as signature of
future research directions.

Leveraging Concepts in Open Access Publications
Authors: Bertino Andrea , Foppiano Luca , Romary Laurent , Mounier Pierre
Published: June 2021

This paper addresses the integration of a Named Entity Recognition and Disambiguation (NERD) service within a group of open access (OA) publishing digital platforms and considers its potential impact on both research and scholarly publishing. The software powering this service, called entity-fishing, was initially developed by Inria in the context of the EU FP7 project CENDARI and provides automatic entity recognition and disambiguation using the Wikipedia and Wikidata data sets. The application is distributed with an open-source licence, and it has been deployed as a web service in DARIAH's infrastructure hosted by the French HumaNum. In the paper, we focus on the specific issues related to its integration on five OA platforms specialized in the publication of scholarly monographs in the social sciences and humanities (SSH), as part of the work carried out within the EU H2020 project HIRMEOS (High Integration of Research Monographs in the European Open Science infrastructure). In the first section, we give a brief overview of the current status and evolution of OA publications, considering specifically the challenges that OA monographs are encountering. In the second part, we show how the HIRMEOS project aims to face these challenges by optimizing five OA digital platforms for the publication of monographs from the SSH and ensuring their interoperability. In sections three and four we give a comprehensive description of the entity-fishing service, focusing on its concrete applications in real use cases together with some further possible ideas on how to exploit the annotations generated. We show that entity-fishing annotations can improve both research and publishing process. In the last chapter, we briefly present further possible application scenarios that could be made available through infrastructural projects.
Stylo visualisations of Middle English documents
Authors: Mäkinen Martti
Published: June 2021

Automated approaches to identifying authorship of a text have become commonplace in the stylometric studies. The current article applies an unsupervised stylometric approach on Middle English documents using the script Stylo in R, in an attempt to distinguish between texts from different dialectal areas. The approach is based on the distribution of character 3-grams generated from the texts of the corpus of Middle English Local Documents (MELD). The article adopts the middle ground in the study of Middle English spelling variation, between the concept of relational linguistic space and the real linguistic continuum of medieval England. Stylo can distinguish between Middle English dialects by using the less frequent character 3-grams.

Published: June 2021

The study of watermarks is a key step for archivists and historians as it enables them to reveal the origin of paper. Although highly practical, automatic watermark recognition comes with many difficulties and is still considered an unsolved challenge. Nonetheless, Shen et al. [2019] recently introduced a new approach for this specific task which showed promising results. Building upon this approach, this work proposes a new public web application dedicated to automatic watermark recognition entitled Filigranes pour tous. The application not only hosts a detailed catalog of more than 17k watermarks manually collected from the French National Archives (Minutier central) or extracted from existing online resources (Briquet database), but it also enables non-specialists to identify a watermark from a simple photograph in a few seconds. Moreover, additional watermarks can easily be added by the users making the enrichment of the existing catalog possible through crowdsourcing. Our Web application is available at https://filigranes.inria.fr/.
A New Approach to Reporting Archaeological Surveys: Connecting Rough Cilicia, Visible Past and Open Context through loose coupling and 3d codes
Authors: Matei Sorin Adam , Rauh Nicholas K. , Kansa Eric
Published: June 2021

The project presents the strategy adopted by the Rough Cilicia Archaeological
Survey team for publishing its primary data and reports via three potentially
transformative strategies for digital humanities: Loose coupling of digital
data curation and publishing platforms. In loosely coupled systems, components
share only a limited set of simple assumptions, which enables systems to evolve
dynamically. Collaborative creation of map based narrative content. Connecting
print scholarship (book, reports, article) to online resources via
two-dimensional barcodes (2D codes) that can be printed on paper and can call
up hyperlinks when scanned with a Smartphone. The three strategies are made
possible by loosely coupling two autonomous services: Visible Past, dedicated
to web collaboration and digital-print publishing and Open Context, which is a
geo-historical data archiving and publishing service. The Rough Cilicia
Archaeological Survey, Visible Past, and Open Context work together to
illustrate a new genre of scholarship, which combine qualitative narratives and
quantitative representations of space and social phenomena. The project
provides tools for collaborative creation of rich scholarly narratives that are
spatially located and for connecting print publications to the digital realm.
The project is a case study for utilizing the three new strategies for creating
and publishing spatial humanities scholarship more broadly for ancient
historians.

Analysis of rainwater quality according to seasonality in the city of Rio de Janeiro
Authors: OHNUMA JUNIOR ALFREDO AKIRA
Published: June 2021

Critical periods and abnormal rainfall events have been observed in the South-East of Brazil in recent years and this has affected both the amount and quality of the volume of water in the water supply systems. This study seeks to assess the influence of seasonal factors on the quality of rainfall at a water treatment plant, located in the city of Rio de Janeiro - RJ. The methodology involved collecting rainfall samples between January 2017 and December 2018, at four specific points in the system. The parameters were analyzed statistically and followed seasonal patterns for each of the seasons of the year, and included: pH, turbidity, and electric conductivity. The results suggest that there is an urgent need to dispose of the initial volume stored in the devices of the first flush. The water contained in the tank was of a satisfactory standard for non-drinkable purposes despite the effects of seasonality on the quality of the rainfall water.

Published: June 2021

Los esfuerzos que desarrolla el contexto universitario en Chile en la formación de profesores de educación física vinculados a las Estrategias Pedagógicas Integrada (EPI) son plausibles, pero, se plantea que toda propuesta pedagógica para alcanzar el rango de calidad necesita ser evaluada, lo que permite cumplir con los objetivos que generaron su creación. El objetivo del estudio fue identificar los obstáculos y desafíos que profesores y estudiantes de la carrera de pedagogía en educación física de una universidad en Chile, manifiestan de la EPI. La metodología utilizada estuvo dada por el enfoque cualitativo. La principal técnica de recolección de datos se realizó a través de la entrevista en profundidad. Para la reducción de los datos cualitativos se utilizó el software ATLAS Ti. 7.5. Los participantes de este estudio fueron diez estudiantes y diez profesores de la carrera de Pedagogía Educación Física en Temuco, Chile. Los principales resultados manifiestan, falta de articulación docente y el trabajo colaborativo entre el estudiantado que permite articular el trabajo en el proceso de la EPI.  Como conclusión se manifiesta que es necesario dejar de lado la mirada técnica del proceso que lleva a enfocar la EPI solo en los resultados, haciendo énfasis en el proceso EPI que enriquece la formación docente en la praxis educativa. 
Abstract. Efforts developed in the university context in Chile regarding physical education (PE) teaching training linked to integrated learning strategies (ILS) are plausible. However, it is stated that all proposed pedagogical approaches, to reach a high standard quality, require assessment to allow them to accomplish the objectives that prompted their creation. The aim of this study was to identify the obstacles and challenges that professors and students have encountered related to ILS in a PE training program from a Chilean university. The methodology employed was based on the qualitative approach and the main data collection tool was an in-depth interview. ATLAS ti. 7.5 software was used to reduce and define the qualitative data gathered. The participants of this research were 10 students and 10 professors from a PE teaching training program in Temuco, Chile. Results show the main obstacles and challenges for ILS are associated with a lack of structured teaching approach and of collaborative work among the student body, which allow efficient management of the ILS working process. As a conclusion, it is stated the need to put aside the technical approach focusing ILS only on results, to give emphasis instead to the ILS process, which enriches teaching training in the educational praxis.

Comparison of Efficacy of Nasal Septal Splints with Clip versus Nasal Packing after Septoplasty
Authors: Singh Piyush Kant , Singh Preeti
Published: June 2021

Introduction
It has always been a concern of ENT surgeon to prevent post operative complications like nasal bleeding, septal hematoma and septal abscess after septoplasty. Traditionally nasal packing has been done to avoid these complications. Although the nasal pack itself  has been a concern for several reasons, packing  apart from causing breathing distress, has resulted in  epiphora, dysphagia, sleep disturbance, post-operative pain, headache, septal infection, septal abscess and even toxic shock syndrome.
Materials and Methods
This study has compared the efficacy of a newly designed septal splint with clip with nasal packs. This study was done on 60 patients, nasal packing was done in 30 patients and septal splints with clip were applied in 30 patients. 
Results
Post-operative pain, epiphora, dysphagia, dryness of mouth and sleep disturbance was found to be significantly less in patients with septal splints with clip as compared to those with nasal packing.
Conclusion
Septal splints with clip is more efficacious alternative to nasal packing in patients undergoing septoplasty.

A fundamental law of reason and the constitutional law of elections in Africa
Authors: Atupare Atudiwe P
Published: June 2021

This paper attempts a comparative understanding of the constitutional law of elections in two African countries: Ghana and Nigeria. As a prelude, I argue that judges should approach the task of interpretation of the constitutional law of elections based on a non-positivist understanding of legality or the rule of law. Law is not to be regarded simply as the product of lawmakers’ decisions and intentions but as embodying fundamental values that gain normative force independently of what is decided, written or intended by lawmakers. The core of this claim is anchored on a theory of law, the fundamental law of reason. The identification of this fundamental law is not a matter of pure moral reasoning. It is a conception of law as a rule of reason with ‘reason’ here suggesting a uniquely judicial form of discourse where the particular values that will, under this approach, gain this special normative force cannot be listed in a fixed catalogue; they are, rather, the values that are deemed essential to securing the conditions for legality or the rule of law that are, in turn, necessary for ‘law’ to exist. In light of this, I contend that judicial decisions on electoral disputes in Ghana and Nigeria should be able to carry conviction with the ordinary person as being based not merely on legal precedent or the law-makers’ intentions but also upon acceptable values as understood from the reason of the fundamental law.
States of emergency and the rule of law under contemporary African constitutions: A comparative analysis
Authors: Abdulrauf Lukman Adebisi
Published: June 2021

Emergencies, whether natural or man-made, are inevitable in contemporary societies. Although the nature and magnitude of such emergencies are usually unpredictable, governments across the world must adopt measures to mitigate and control the emergency while securing the lives and properties of the people. Since emergencies envisage exceptional circumstances, there may be the need for the suspension of the normal legal order and its temporary replacement with an extraordinary regime to help restore the normal legal order. During the subsistence of the extraordinary regime, the question that has always concerned modern-day constitutionalists is how the rule of law can be maintained in such a regime which is characterised by the suspension of the normal legal order. This concern is even more apparent in Africa considering the general attitude of political leaders who will want to take advantage of every opportunity to abuse human rights, consolidate powers and remain in government. All these concerns therefore centre on the nature and scope of state of emergency provisions in constitutions and their implementation. Therefore, in this article, I will comparatively analyse the nature and scope of state of emergency provisions under modern African constitutions to determine the extent to which they are inclusive and embrace the basic tenets of the rule of law. I will further interrogate the applicability of the rule of law in states of emergency using recent practices in selected African countries.
Law Enforcement Principle in Islamic Ruling on Zakat Distribution to Transexuals, Prostitutes and Gigolos
Authors: Mohd Kashim Mohd Izhar Ariff , Mud Adnan Nurul Ilyana , Muhd Adnan Hafizuddin , Muhd Adnan Nurul Izwah
Published: June 2021

Surah al-Taubah Verse 60 mention that there are eight eligible persons to receive Zakat. They are the poor and the needy, amil (those employed to collect zakah), muallaf (those bringing hearts together for Islam), al-riqab (those in captives or slaves), al-gharimin (those in debt), fi sabilillah (those in the cause [way] of Allah) and ibn sabil (the [stranded] traveller). Al-riqab is the fifth from eight eligible persons to receive Zakat. Currently, the provision of zakat to the al-riqab (slave) is allocated into other asnaf as the slave is not existed in Malaysia. However, there are several states such as Selangor, Negeri Sembilan, Terengganu and Melaka have broadened the definition of al-riqab to individuals who wish to come out of the shackles of ignorance and social problems. The individuals are transsexuals, prostitutes and gigolos. However, some of other states rejected the fatwa of these states. This article is aimed to identifying the nature of the transsexuals, prostitutes and gigolos who are included in the al-riqab group. It is also intended to analyze the principles in law enforcement of this group (transsexuals, prostitutes and gigolos) which is categorized as al-riqab. This research uses the document analysis method such as Tafsir books, fiqh of four Sects and journals. Data is analyzed through thematic content analysis. The result shows the transsexuals, prostitutes and gigolos qualified to be considered to receive zakat aid under al-riqab. However, it must be based on the criteria and conditions stipulated by the country. The fatwa is designed to ensure that they are able to get out of the crisis and continue to live in a better life. In addition, it is also intended to ensure the asnaf of zakat in the al-Quran testimonial remains relevant at all times. Therefore, the zakat management in Malaysia should undertake the provision of al-riqab systematically and well organized to avoid any conflicts with Islamic principles. This will be uphold the dignity of the zakat institutions and Islam as a religion of Rahmatan lil Alamin.

Aspek pengetahuan jurulatih menunjukkan hubungan kuat dengan kepuasan atlet. Aspek aktiviti semasa latihan menunjukkan hubungan yang rendah terhadap kepuasan atlet. Kajian ini mencadangkan pengurusan risiko dalam latihan dan pertandingan terhadap atlet universiti boleh disesuaikan dengan keperluan semasa seperti kecekapan kakitangan sukan dan jurulatih. Kakitangan sukan dan jurulatih perlu berinovatif dan mempunyai ilmu yang baik dalam mengendalikan pengurusan risiko agar keselamatan dan prestasi atlet berada di tahap yang baik. Justeru itu, atlet lebih yakin dengan persekitaran latihan dan pertandingan yang selamat bagi mencapai tahap kepuasan yang maksima dan meningkatkan prestasi atlet. Selain itu, penyediaan pengurusan risiko yang baik dan selamat dapat mendorong atlet atau pelajar bergiat aktif dalam aktiviti sukan di peringkat kampus hingga mewakili universiti ke peringkat yang lebih tinggi dan menjaga kualiti hidup yang normal dan harmoni.

Today, many KadazanDusun children who live in rural areas, whose parents are without educational background and earn a living as farmers, have successfully entered public tertiary level education institutions (IPTA) or private tertiary level education institutions (IPTS). This development has prompted this study to identify the parenting styles involved in ensuring the success of children in school and thus succeeding in furthering to tertiary level. For data collection, this study choses the qualitative approach. Thus, to obtain the required data, interviews were carried out with parents who have more than one child studying at IPTA/IPTS, self-employed in their hometown and had no opportunity to formal education. The respondents were chosen through purposive and snowball selection. The findings show that both authoritarian and authoritative parenting styles are practiced by the KadazanDusun parents in ensuring that children are successful in school. The children who were also interviewed agreed these styles are practiced because of the difficulties in the parents’ lives due to the lack of good education. Therefore, the parents want to ensure their children to succeed in their education for a better future. The parents do not want their economic problems which they are facing now to be inherited by their children.

In our current generation we are very much habituated to many mobile services like communication, ecommerce etc. In mobile communication services SMS’s (Short Message Service’s) are very common and important services which we are using in personal purposes and profession. In these services some messages may cause spam attacks which is trap to users to access their personal information or attracting them to purchase a product from unauthorized websites. It is very easy for companies send any information or service or alert to their customers/users with these SMS API’s. Based on these services it is also possible for sending spam messages. So in this system we are using advance Machine Learning concepts for detection of the spam filtering in the SMS’s. In this system we are importing the dataset from UCI repository and for spam SMS detection we implementing machine learning classifiers like Support Vector Machine (SVM), K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), and Neural Networks (NN) algorithms and with their metrics like accuracy, precision, recall and f-score. We calculate performances between there algorithms as well as we show the experiment results with visualization techniques and analyses which algorithm is best for spam SMS detection.
EPIDEMIOLOGIA DO VÍRUS MAYARO NA AMÉRICA LATINA ENTRE 2009 A 2019
Authors: Barros Elizabeth Regina de , Pires Rayllany Maylly Turbe , Amorim Murilo Tavares , Holanda Gustavo Moraes
Published: June 2021

O vírus Mayaro (MAYV), é um arbovírus transmitido pela picada de artrópodes hematófagos, identificado no Brasil em 1955 nas proximidades do rio Guamá, Pará. Entre seus sintomas clínicos destacam-se a febre alta, as artralgias, a cefaleia, a dor ocular e o vômito. A falta de investimentos dos órgãos governamentais, de pesquisas e de vigilâncias epidemiológicas sobre o MAYV, e a habilidade de deslocamento entre espécies, representam os grandes desafios encontrados para se estabelecer a proporção de suas patologias. Neste trabalho, o objetivo foi indicar as características gerais, desafios clínicos, epidemiológicos e evolução viral, que podem resultar em viremias intensas ou alterações imunológicas, através da revisão de literaturas indexadas. Os resultados demostram que fatores ambientais, atividades antrópicas e o crescimento urbano, proporcionaram condições favoráveis para a proliferação do vetor e expansão do vírus pela América Latina, e que os principais países afetados pelo vírus foram Argentina, Bolívia, Brasil, Colômbia, Equador, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, México, Panamá, Peru, Uruguai e Venezuela.  Em virtude do risco que significa a saúde humana, o vírus MAYV torna-se significativo no que diz respeito a instalações e consolidações de medidas de controle, monitoramento e combate, que possam ser eficazes, para a diminuição de epidemias e endemias na América Latina, assim contribuindo melhor para os serviços de saúde pública.
A ESCOLA NACIONAL FLORESTAN FERNANDES: TERRITÓRIO DE RESISTÊNCIA IMATERIAL DOS MOVIMENTOS SOCIOTERRITORIAIS / The Florestan Fernandes National School: territory of immaterial resistance of socio-territorial movements / La Escuela Nacional Florestan Fernandes: territorio de resistencia inmaterial de los movimientos socio-territoriales

Este artigo tem o objetivo de refletir sobre a importância que tem a Escola Nacional Florestan Fernandes (ENFF) enquanto um território de resistência imaterial dos movimentos socioterritoriais, sobretudo, camponeses da América Latina. A pesquisa na ENFF foi desenvolvida a partir de observação-participante e entrevistas, por meio de um questionário semiestruturado, com coordenadores, lideranças de movimentos sociais e militantes-estudantes da escola no período das duas pesquisas de campo: julho de 2010 e 2011. A ENFF tem como principal objetivo a formação de consciência crítica visando a construção de uma sociedade com igualdade social e sustentabilidade ambiental. Está localizada no município de Guararema, SP. Foi construída em regime de mutirão com o trabalho voluntário de militantes de todo o país. Funciona em regime de autogestão mantida por militantes de movimentos sociais e pela Associação dos Amigos da Escola Nacional Florestan Fernandes.Como citar este artigo:CAMACHO, Rodrigo Simão.
