Googling Politics? The Computational Identification of Political and News-related Searches from Web Browser Histories
Authors: van Hoof Marieke , Trilling Damian , Meppelink Corine , Moeller Judith , Loecherbach Felicia
Published: July 2023

Search engines play a crucial role in today’s information environment. Yet, political and news-related (PNR) search engine use remains understudied, mainly due to the lack of suitable measurement methods to identify PNR searches. Existing research focuses on specific events, topics, or news articles, neglecting the broader scope of PNR search. Furthermore, self-reporting issues have led researchers to use browsing history data, but scalable methods for analysing such data are limited. This paper addresses these gaps by comparing five computational methods to identify PNR searches in browsing data, including browsing sequences, context-enhanced dictionary, Traditional Supervised Machine Learning (SML), Transformer-based SML, and ChatGPT classification. Using Dutch Google searches as a test case, we use Dutch browsing history data obtained via data donations in May 2022 linked to surveys (Nusers = 315; Nrecords = 9, 868, 209; Nsearches = 697, 359), along with 35.5k manually annotated search terms. The findings highlight substantial variation in accuracy, with some methods being more suited for narrower topics. We recommend a two-step approach, using ChatGPT for automated classification followed by human evaluation. This methodology can inform future empirical research on PNR search engine use.

The moderation of user-generated content on online platforms remains a key solution to protecting people online, but also remains a perpetual challenge as the appropriateness of content moderation guidelines depends on the online community that they aim to govern. This challenge affects marginalised groups in particular, as they more frequently experience online abuse but also end up falsely being the target of content-moderation guidelines. While there have been calls for democratic, community-moderation, there has so far been little research into how to implement such approaches. Here, we present the co-creation of content moderation strategies with the users of an online platform to address some of these challenges. Within the context of AutSPACEs – an online citizen science platform that aims to allow autistic people to share their own sensory processing experiences publicly – we used a community-based and participatory approach to co-design a content moderation solution that would fit the preferences, priorities and needs of its autistic user community. We outline how this approach helped us discover context-specific moderation dilemmas around participant safety and wellbeing and how we addressed those. These trade-offs have resulted in a moderation design that differs from more general social networks in aspects such as how to contribute, when to moderate, and what to moderate. While these dilemmas, processes and solutions are specific to the context of AutSPACEs, we highlight how the co-design approach itself could be applied and useful for other communities to uncover challenges and help other online spaces to embed safety and empowerment.
For Whom Does Education Convey Health Benefits? A Two-Generation and Life-Course Approach
Authors: Luo Liying , Wei Lai
Published: July 2023

Scholars of social determinants of health have long been interested in how parent’s and own education influence health. However, the differing effects of parent’s and own education on health—that is, for what socioeconomic group education conveys health benefits—are relatively less studied. Using multilevel marginal structural models, we estimate the heterogeneous effects of parent’s and own education over the life course on two health measures. Our analysis considers both parent’s and respondent’s pre-education covariates such as childhood health and socioeconomic conditions. We find that the protective effects of college completion against negative health outcomes are remarkably similar regardless of parent’s (measured by father’s or mother’s) education. Meanwhile, parent’s education has a larger effect when the average educational level is low in the population. Our results also reveal distinct life-course patterns between health measures. We conclude by discussing the implications of our study for understanding the education-health relationship.
Frontier workers, and the seedbeds of inequality and prosperity
Authors: Connor Dylan Shane , Kemeny Tom , Storper Michael
Published: July 2023

This paper examines the role of work at the cutting of technological change – frontier work – as a driver of prosperity and spatial income inequality. Using new methods and data, we analyze the geography and incomes of frontier workers from 1880 to 2019. Initially, frontier work is concentrated in a set of ‘seedbed’ locations, contributing to rising spatial inequality through powerful localized wage premiums. As technologies mature, the economic distinctiveness of frontier work diminishes, as ultimately happened to cities like Manchester and Detroit. Our work uncovers a plausible general origin story of the unfolding of spatial income inequality.
Role of the Ayurvedic clock in boosting the immune system
Authors: Maibam Punyakishore
Published: July 2023

Ayurveda prophesizes that living in tune with nature's cycles is one of the keys to good health. All living things have a circadian clock which keeps track of night and day in the brain, orchestrates our daily rhythms of physiological, behavioural and molecular processes, and plays an explicit role in the immune system. This cycle regulates cytokine production and the activity of immune cells, such as T cells and B cells, which makes it closely intertwined with our immune system.

Published: July 2023

Introduction: Although changes occur in various dimensions in quality of life and it plays a significant role in the health of pregnant women, there are limited data on the quality of life of pregnant women. The objective of the study was to identify the quality of life of pregnant women.

Methods: We conducted a descriptive cross-sectional study in Gandaki Medical College Teaching Hospital and Research Centre, Pokhara in 167 pregnant women attending an antenatal clinic over one month period, selected by nonprobability purposive sampling technique. Data collection was done using the RAND SF-36 questionnaire. Descriptive statistics were used to describe the quality of life. Inferential statistics were used to compare two independent groups and three or more independent groups respectively.

Results: The Mean±SD score for the quality of life of pregnant women was 73.08±14.95 with 62.80±19.14 in the physical component and 83.35±10.76 in the mental component. The score was highest in role limitation due to emotional health and lowest in role limitation due to physical health domain. Women who had planned pregnancies had better scores in the general health domain (p=0.005) and emotional wellbeing domain (p=0.011) compared to those who had an unplanned pregnancies.

Conclusion: Since the quality of life scores are lower in physical health domains than in mental health domains, special attention should be given to the physical health of pregnant women.

Bu çalışmada, son yıllarda Türkiye’de ve Türkçe yapılan Uluslararası İlişkiler çalışmalarında da ilgi gören ve bir analiz aracı olarak kullanılan İngiliz Okulu’nun en önemli kavramsallaştırması olan “uluslararası toplum” ele alınmaktadır. İngiliz Okulu temsilcileri, uluslararası toplumun tarihsel-yorumlayıcı bir perspektifle anlaşılabileceğini savunmaktadır. Bu bağlamda, çalışma, uluslararası toplumun tarihsel olarak gelişimini bilhassa Türkçe olarak yapılan çalışmalar itibariyle nispeten boş bir alan olarak görmekte ve literatüre bir katkı yapmak amacıyla, uluslararası toplumun XV. yüzyıldan XX. yüzyılın başına kadar küresel olarak genişlemesini konu edinmektedir. Çalışmanın ilk başlığı XIX. yüzyıla kadar olan süreci genel bir tarihsel anlatı biçiminde sunmakta ve kalan başlıklar sırasıyla uluslararası toplumun Amerikalı, Asyalı ve Afrikalı devletler sistemleriyle etkileşimlerini incelemektedir. Buna göre, çalışma, Avrupa merkezli olan uluslararası toplumun Amerikalı devletlerle ilişkisinin daha çok karşılıklılığa dayandığını, Asyalı ve Afrikalı devletlerle olan ilişkilerinin ise çifte standart içeren bir emperyalist ve sömürgeci temele dayandığını savunmaktadır. Çalışmanın son başlığı ise, uluslararası toplumun kurumlarından biri olarak kabul gören savaşın, XX. yüzyılın başında, nasıl ve niçin, uluslararası toplumun en büyük başarısızlıklarından biri olan Birinci Dünya Savaşı’na giden küresel statükoyu ortaya çıkardığı analiz edilmektedir. Bu şekilde, çalışma, İngiliz Okulu yaklaşımının kullanılarak hem uzun dönemli hem de güncel küresel siyasetin anlaşılmasına yönelik çalışmalara bir katkı sunmaktadır.

THE USE OF BIODEGRADABLE UTENSILS IN RESTAURANTS
Authors: Blahopoluchna A. H. , Neshchadym L. M. , Liakhovska N.O.
Published: July 2023

The article considers the types of biodegradable utensils that can be used in restaurants. It is analyzed that such utensils hold their shape well when packing hot dishes in it. Can be used to store liquid dishes and sauces for 24 hours without getting wet and softening. Biodegradable utensils are an ideal solution for catering, and are also suitable for heating in microwave ovens of various capacities.

It has been established that organic utensils can be easily disposed of together with other food residues, which will greatly facilitate the work of the restaurant by reducing waste and allow you to completely abandon the sorting of plastic.

It is investigated that biodegradable utensils made of various natural raw materials are presented on the modern market: sugar cane cake, corn starch and coffee waste.

It was found that the company INFERRA PACK was one of the first who began to manufacture environmentally friendly disposable tableware from bio-materials. Thanks to innovative pulp recycling technology, kraft tableware contains 30% more recycled raw materials than ordinary paper tableware. The uniqueness of this ecological product is that the term of its full utilization in soil is about 180 days. Kraft organic glasses are easily disposed of with natural biocomponents - which means that the use of such disposable utensils does not leave garbage and does not harm the environment.

It was found that the advantage of using environmentally friendly disposable packaging made of bioplastics is the possibility of composting. Under certain conditions, PLA can completely decompose to water and carbon in 3 months. Decomposition requires temperatures of at least +55 - +70 ° C and humidity, which can only be provided by commercial composting plants. In addition, the production of biopolymer emits much less carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. Switching from conventional plastics to bioplastics would reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 25%. The use of PLA plastics will reduce dependence on petroleum-based plastics, which in turn will reduce demand for them.
ECONOMIC DAMAGE OF PHYTOPOLLUTION OF THE ECOSYSTEM OF THE TERRITORY AROUND THE RAILWAYS BY ADVENTIVE PLANTS IN THE CITY OF ZNAMYANKA, KIROVOGRAD REGION
Authors: Parakhnenko V. H.
Published: July 2023

The article presents the results of the study of the adventitious fraction of the flora of the city of Znamyanka, which includes 50 species of plants belonging to 20 families, which is approximately more than a third of the number of species of the spontaneous flora of the city. This is evidence of significant pollution of the flora of the city by invasive plant species. Adventitious flora currently poses a threat to phytodiversity in the city. Every year, the number of non-native plants increases, their habitat spreads, and the richness of their grouping increases.

Adventitious plant species cause serious and irreversible changes in the natural environment and economy. According to estimates by EPPO experts, losses from invasive plant species on a global scale amount to billions of dollars annually - from 55 to 248 billion. Currently, losses from alien species and costs related to their control make up about 5% of the world economy. According to the Global Invasive Species Program (GISP), the fight against the most dangerous alien plant species costs the world 1.4 trillion. dollars annually.

One of the main directions of the appearance and spread of invasive - adventive plants in the city of Znamyanka is railway tracks. They create plant groups with mostly native plant species, from where the plants migrate to nearby phytocenoses and enrich the native flora. In the flora of Ukraine, there is not a single complex of plants in which adventive plants did not participate.

In addition to the problem of phytopollution of ecosystems, there is an equally important reason that affects the health of the population. Adventitious flora, which includes many species, is often represented by plants whose pollen causes strong allergic reactions, which causes a significant threat to public health.

Authors: Lafta Ghashim Jassim Sajida
Published: July 2023

In this work, a numerical study is performed to predict the solution of two – dimensional, steady and laminar mixed convection flow over a square cylinder placed symmetrically in a vertical parallel plate. A finite difference method is employed to solve the governing differential equations, continuity, momentum, and energy equation balances. The solution is obtained for stream function, vorticity and temperature as dependent variables by iterative technique known as successive over relaxation. The flow and temperature patterns are obtained for Reynolds number and Grashof number at (Re= -50,50,100,-100) (positive or negative value refers to aidding or opposing buoyancy , +1 assisting flow, -1 opposing flow) and (102 to 105) , respectively. The results displaced that the recirculation length above the cylinder increases with the increase in Gr number and the average Nu number is the highest at the lower surface of the cylinder, while is the lowest at the top of the cylinder surface. A comparison between the obtained results and the published computational studies has been made and it showed a good agreement.

Published: July 2023

Rice has become a major food in Nigeria, but the acceptance of the local varieties are low due to the presence of impurities traceable, poor processing, and low quality. This study investigates the effect of drying temperature on selected properties of Ofada white and Boromo paddy rice. Using standard methods, selected physical, mechanical, and nutritional properties of the rice varieties were estimated when freshly harvested and after drying at 50, 60, and 80oC to 14% moisture content (wet basis). The drying temperature had a significant effect on the length, width, thickness, arithmetic diameter, geometric diameter, equivalent diameter, sphericity, grain volume, surface area, bulk density, true density, porosity, angle of repose, and thousand-grain weight, bending strength, compressive strength, fracture energy, carbohydrate content, crude protein, and amylose content. This study concludes that drying temperature significantly affects rice properties and should be considered in the design and selection of processing machines.

Authors: Aliiev E. , Lupko K. , Kobets O.
Published: July 2023

The STAR-CCM+ software package was used to create a model of the process of separating seed material from small-seeded crops on a cylindrical cellular trier. By taking into account the physic-mechanical properties of mustard seeds and the given initial and boundary conditions of the trier, a visualization of the separation process was obtained, which depended on several factors, including the number of seeds and impurities in the seed mixture, the rotation frequency of the trier cylinder, and the diameter of the trier cylinder. The numerical simulation of the process at a variable rotation frequency resulted in obtaining a relationship between the number of seeds and impurities, the relative content of impurity elements in the seed mixture in the tray, and the conditional performance of the separator, depending on the duration of cylinder rotation counterclockwise and clockwise. Based on the obtained dependencies of the numerical modeling and the results of the improvement of the TracTrac software package, a laboratory sample of an adaptive cylindrical cell trier was developed. This trier allows real-time, based on the received video image, to determine the trajectory of the seed flight and to control the position of the tray and the rotation frequency of the cylinder using Arduino UNO.

Tujuaan penelitian ini adalah untuk menguji dan menganalisis modal dan karakteristik individu sebagai faktor penentu inovasi usaha. Penelitian ini dikembangkan dengan mengintegrasikan modal dengan karakteristik individu yang mempunyai peran seperti kemauan bekerja keras, rasa percaya diri yang baik, pengalaman dalam bekerja sebagai jibu-jibu dan pendidikan/pelatihan terhadap inovasi usaha. Pendekatan yang digunakan dalam penelitian adalah dalam bentuk survey terhadap 80 “jibu-jibu” yang berada di Wilayah Kota Ambon. Pengamdilan data dilakukan dengan metode purposive sampling. Alat analisis dalam penelitian ini adalah Regresi Linier Berganda. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa modal berpengaruh dan meningkatkan inovasi usaha. Penyebab temuan ini adalah kebutuhan modal penjual ikan ”jibu-jibu”  tidak hanya di penuhi dengan modal sendiri tetapi juga dipenuhi dari pihak lain yaitu bantuan modal dan pinjaman dari pihak lain (non bank) dan modal social (modal kepercayaan). Jumlah modal yang dimiliki oleh jibu-jibu mendorong melakukan inovasi untuk pengembangan usahanya. Hasil riset ini, sesuai dengan fakta empiris yang mengabarkan bahwa 35% jibu-jibu telah melakukan akses penambahan modalnya dan sebanyak 18% dari jibu-jibu telah melakukan inovasi usaha dalam bentuk menjual ikan yang telah diolah dan inovasi pelayanan kepada pembeli. Selain varibel modal ternyata terdapat karakteristik individu yang dapat mempengaruhi inovasi usaha, namun berdasarkan hasil riset menunjukkan bahwa tidak berpengaruh terhadap inovasi usaha. Hal ini disebabkan oleh masih rendahnya karakteristik individu yang dicerminkan oleh rasa percaya diri sebesar 21%, selain itu kemauan kerja keras sebesar 16% dan belum pernah memperoleh pendidikan/pelatihan sehingga tidak menentukan inovasi usaha.

Back ground: Epstein- Barr virus (EBV) is a ubiquitous in that infecting more than 90% of adult population worldwide. Recently, EBV has been linked to the development of variety of human malignancies. P53 gene is mutated in more than 50% of human cancers. Cell cycle dysregulation, measured by p53 protein expression, and latent EBV infection are important in the pathogenesis of Non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas.Objective: To analyze the distribution and impact of concordant p53 expression and latent EBV infection on a group of B & T cell types of NHL.Materials and Methods: Forty (40) formalin-fixed, paraffin embedded tissue blocks were obtained from lymph nodes biopsies related to patients with NHL.In addition, biopsies of twenty (20) lymph nodes autopsies were included as apparently normal control group. The clinico- pathological criteria of NHL cases were assessed and In Situ Hybridization( ISH ) techniques for mutant p53 and Epstein-Barr Early Repeats(EBERs) detection were performed.Results: The percentage of EBV-ISH reaction results in the total group of NHL was (60%), where its percentage in NHL, B-cell type was (58.6%)and in NHL, T-cell type (63.7%). None of the control group showed EBV-ISH reaction. Statistical analysis showed significant difference between these groups (p<0.05). The percentage of B-cell lymphoma with moderate signal score for EBV-ISH test was (41.4%) while with strong scoring was (17.2%). In the T-cell lymphoma, moderate signal scoring was (18.2%) while strong scoring was(45.5%). Statistically, they showed no significant differences (p> 0.05). Mutant p53 gene was observed in 60% of NHLs and dual positivity of EBV and p53-ISH was found in 42.5 % of cases. Regarding the grades, it was found that the higher level of p53 expression was observed in low grade tumors (39.3% ; 11out of 28) NHL.Conclusion: The present findings indicate that cell cycle dysregulation and EBV-related transformation are important in the pathogenesis of NHL.

Published: July 2023

Dalam mengatasi permasalahan korosi, maka perlu adanya perbaikan korosi secara altenatif, yakni pencegahan korosi dengan menggunakan inhibitor korosi. Inhibitor organik yang dapat dijadikan sebagai inhibitor korosi adalah Puntung rokok, karena mengandung banyak nikotin. Nikotin dapat dijadikan sebagai inhibitor dengan cara mendonorkan atom nitrogen pada nikotin kepada atom Fe2+ sehingga terbentuk senyawa kompleks [Fe (NH3)6]2+. Senyawa ini memiliki kestabilan yang lebih tinggi dari pada Fe sehingga dapat digunakan sebagai proteksi dalam korosiTujuan dari penelitian ini adalah mengatasi masalah puntung rokok dengan menjadikannya sebagai inhibitor korosi untuk meminimalisir biaya penggantian bahan, perawatan, dan over design pada Jacket Platform. Penelitian ini merupakan eksperimen dengan mengunakan material uji baja ASTM A36. Material akan diblasting terlebih dahulu dengan material abrasif berjenis Steel Grid 26 sesuai dengan standar ASTM A36 G31-72. Dilanjutkan dengan proses coating, dengan mencampurkan cat epoxy dan ektraksi puntung rokok, kemudian direndam dengan medium korosif, yaitu air Laut Kenjeran. Pengujian laju korosi yang dilakukan menggunakan metode pengurangan berat, dimana semakin tinggi berat yang berkurang maka semakin tinggi laju korosi yang terjadi. Berdasarkan penelitian ini dapat disimpulkan bahwa kadar nikotin yang dapat digunakan sebagai cathodic protection pada coating.
Health Care Resource Use and Social Costs in Mild Cognitive Impairment and Mild Alzheimer’s Disease
Authors: Takechi Hajime , Yoshino Hiroshi
Published: July 2023

Background:

As the number of patients with dementia increases, so do the social costs. In recent years, attempts have been made to reduce risk to be dementia and treat it from the early stages of the disease, making it important to estimate the costs of the early stages.

Objective:

To estimate the medical and social costs of the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), which include mild cognitive impairment (MCI) due to AD and mild AD.

Methods:

Questionnaires were used to obtain basic information (e.g., age, cognitive function) and medical costs, social care costs, family caregiver medical costs, and family caregiver informal care costs from patients with MCI due to AD or mild AD who were attending a memory clinic. A comparison was then conducted between these two groups.

Results:

Patients with mild AD had higher total costs, patient medical costs, patient social care costs, and family caregiver informal care costs than did patients with MCI; however, only patient medical costs were significantly different ( p = 0.022). A detailed analysis of patient medical costs revealed that anti-dementia drug treatment costs were significantly higher in patients with mild AD ( p <  0.001).

Conclusion:

Compared with patients with mild AD, those with MCI may have lower patient and family caregiver costs. As it is important to reduce social costs through risk reduction and therapeutic interventions from the early stages of AD, the present findings could help estimate the social costs and verify the cost-effectiveness of early interventions for AD.
Influence of pier-water interaction on natural vibration characteristics of bridge with complex piers in water

Published: July 2023

In order to clarify the influence of water on the natural vibration of bridge with complex piers, based on a continuous beam with 4-column pier, the numerical analysis model is established. Single column circular pier is taken to discuss the range of waters. Then the influences of water on the natural vibration are analyzed. The research shows that waters reduce the natural frequency. When waters area width is less than 10 m, the natural frequency of the pier decreases. And the first-order longitudinal bending frequency is reduced by 3.36%. When waters area width is more than 10 m, the vibration frequencies tend to be stable gradually. Therefore, the waters 10 m can be regarded as an infinite boundary. The natural frequencies of single column pier and 4-column pier decrease with the increase of water depth. When the water depth is less than 10 m, the changes of natural frequency of the first four orders of single column pier are relatively small, and the changes of 5–10 order natural frequency are large. The maximum effect of the first ten orders is 14.84%. The natural vibration frequency of the bridge decreases gradually with the increase of water depth. The maximum effect of the first five orders is 3.33%.
Quantification of the effects of the spatial variation of ground motions on the seismic response of highway bridges
Authors: Belkheiri Nassira , Tiliouine Boualem
Published: July 2023

The stochastic responses of highway bridges to spatial variation of ground motions (SVGM) are analysed in this paper. A model of spatially varying ground motions is used to investigate the relative importance of the incoherency effect, the wave passage effect and the site effects on the stochastic dynamic response of an asymmetrical R.C box girder highway bridge with variable inertia. In this study, the incoherency effect is investigated using two widely used models while the wave-passage effect is incorporated using various wave velocities. Then, the random vibration theory is applied to study the effect of the non-uniform seismic excitations on the bridge structure. The bridge response is evaluated in terms of the mean values of the maximum displacements and the bending moments. Analyses of both stationary and transient response are performed. The results show that the stochastic dynamic responses related to site effects are mostly much greater than those calculated using uniform, delayed and incoherent seismic excitation assumptions. As a result, analytical models used for the stochastic dynamic analysis of long span highway bridges should take into account all the SVGM components, particularly the site-response effects.

Fuzzy clustering and optimal routing in wireless sensor network
Authors: Suresh Kumar P. , Barkathulla A.
Published: July 2023

A wireless sensor network (WSN) is a collection of numerous independent sensor nodes that can sense, process, and manipulate data. WSN is grouped into clusters for energy-efficient data collection. A clustering and aggregation technique automatically extends the lifetime of a WSN by collecting data within the cluster to the cluster head, reduces the amount of data through processing, and transmitting. WSN routing protocols are also required for completing all types of operations in a Internet of things (IOT) environment, such as sensing, controlling, and transmitting packets. In this paper, a novel Fuzzy Clustering and Optimal Routing (FCOR) method is proposed in order to lessen the energy consumption, delay, and improve network lifetime and node density. The proposed FCOR method is executed in two stages. The initial stage consists of clustering and cluster head selection using modified Fuzzy c-means algorithm (MFCM). This algorithm will efficiently cluster the nodes and select the optimal cluster head. The second phase consists of optimal routing using a normalized whale optimization algorithm (NWOA), that select the optimal route and thus improve the lifetime of the nodes. The efficiency of the proposed FCOR approach has been determined using the evaluation metrics such as energy efficiency, packet delivery, and network lifetime. The experimental results reveals that the proposed FCOR model achieves less energy consumption of 67.8%, 54.4%, 60% and 6.67% than existing FRNSEER, E-ALWO, ACI-GSO and CRSH respectively.
