Large Language Models for Latvian Named Entity Recognition
Authors: Vīksna Rinalds , Skadiņa Inguna
Published: September 2020

Transformer-based language models pre-trained on large corpora have demonstrated good results on multiple natural language processing tasks for widely used languages including named entity recognition (NER). In this paper, we investigate the role of the BERT models in the NER task for Latvian. We introduce the BERT model pre-trained on the Latvian language data. We demonstrate that the Latvian BERT model, pre-trained on large Latvian corpora, achieves better results (81.91 F1-measure on average vs 78.37 on M-BERT for a dataset with nine named entity types, and 79.72 vs 78.83 on another dataset with seven types) than multilingual BERT and outperforms previously developed Latvian NER systems.
Interactive Learning of Dialog Scenarios from Examples
Authors: Deksne Daiga , Skadiņš Raivis
Published: September 2020

This paper reports on the development of a toolkit that enables collecting dialog corpus for end-to-end goal-oriented dialog system training. The toolkit includes the neural network model that interactively learns to predict the next virtual assistant (VA) action from the conversation history. We start with exploring methods for VA dialog scenario learning from examples after we perform several experiments with the English DSTC dialog sets in order to find the optimal strategy for neural model training. The chosen algorithm is used for training the next action prediction model for the Latvian dialogs in the public transport inquiries domain collected using the platform. The accuracy for the English and the Latvian dialog models is similar – 0.84 and 0.86. This shows that the chosen method for neural network model training is language independent.

Towards the Development of Language Analysis Tools for the Written Latgalian Language
Authors: Deksne Daiga , Vulāne Anna
Published: September 2020

This paper reports on the development of spell checking and morphological analysis tools for Latgalian. The Latgalian written language is a historic variant of the Latvian language. There is a wide range of language analysis tools available for Latvian, whereas the Latgalian language lacks such tools. The work is done by the joint effort of linguists who work on morphologically marked lexicon creation and IT specialists who work on language tool development. For the creation of a morphological analysis tool, we reuse the FST technology used for the Latvian morphological analyzer. We create a spelling dictionary that can be used with the Hunspell engine. All tools are accessible via Web Service. For now, the Latgalian lexicon contains 13,139 lemmas marked by 105 inflection groups. The work of lexicon replenishment still continues.

Lithuanian Pedagogic Corpus: Correlations Between Linguistic Features and Text Complexity
Authors: Boizou Loïc , Kovalevskaitė Jolanta , Rimkutė Erika
Published: September 2020

This paper discusses the problem of automatic CEFR (CEFR – Common European Framework of Reference for Languages: https://www.coe.int/en/web/common-european-framework-reference-languages/level-descriptions.) level assignment to texts. We address the correlations between the lexical, morphological and syntactic features and the different CEFR levels of the texts in the Lithuanian Pedagogic Corpus. Only the texts from coursebooks showed the correlation of investigated linguistic features with text complexity. In the coursebook sub-part of the corpus, we observed that higher language proficiency levels are associated with more complex linguistic features: their number increases in texts of higher CEFR levels from A1 to B2 (e.g., non-finite verb forms, participles, adverbial participles and half participles, dative and instrumental noun cases or longer sentences).

Mal de débarquement syndrome diagnostic criteria: Consensus document of the Classification Committee of the Bárány Society
Authors: Cha Yoon-Hee , Baloh Robert W. , Cho Catherine , Magnusson Måns , Song Jae-Jin , Strupp Michael , Wuyts Floris , Staab Jeffrey P.
Published: September 2020

We present diagnostic criteria for mal de débarquement syndrome (MdDS) for inclusion into the International Classification of Vestibular Disorders. The criteria include the following: 1] Non-spinning vertigo characterized by an oscillatory perception (‘rocking,’ ‘bobbing,’ or ‘swaying’) present continuously or for most of the day; 2] Onset occurs within 48 hours after the end of exposure to passive motion, 3] Symptoms temporarily reduce with exposure to passive motion (e.g. driving), and 4] Symptoms persist for >48 hours. MdDS may be designated as “in evolution,” if symptoms are ongoing but the observation period has been less than 1 month; “transient,” if symptoms resolve at or before 1 month and the observation period extends at least to the resolution point; or “persistent” if symptoms last for more than 1 month. Individuals with MdDS may develop co-existing symptoms of spatial disorientation, visual motion intolerance, fatigue, and exacerbation of headaches or anxiety. Features that distinguish MdDS from vestibular migraine, motion sickness, and persistent postural perceptual dizziness (PPPD) are reviewed. Motion-moderated oscillatory vertigo can also occur without a motion trigger, typically following another vestibular disorder, a medical illness, heightened psychological stress, or metabolic disturbance. Terminology for this non-motion triggered presentation has been varied as it has features of both MdDS and PPPD. Further research is needed into its phenomenological and biological relationship to MdDS, PPPD, and other vestibular disorders.

Authors: Li Qingqing , Chen Ke , Han Lin , Zhuang Yan , Li Jingtao , Lin Jiangli
Published: September 2020

BACKGROUND:

Automatic segmentation of individual tooth root is a key technology for the reconstruction of the three-dimensional dental model from Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) images, which is of great significance for the orthodontic, implant and other dental diagnosis and treatment planning.

OBJECTIVES:

Currently, tooth root segmentation is mainly done manually because of the similar gray of the tooth root and the alveolar bone from CBCT images. This study aims to explore the automatic tooth root segmentation algorithm of CBCT axial image sequence based on deep learning.

METHODS:

We proposed a new automatic tooth root segmentation method based on the deep learning U-net with AGs. Since CBCT sequence has a strong correlation between adjacent slices, a Recurrent neural network (RNN) was applied to extract the intra-slice and inter-slice contexts. To develop and test this new method for automatic segmentation of tooth roots using CBCT images, 24 sets of CBCT sequences containing 1160 images and 5 sets of CBCT sequences containing 361 images were used to train and test the network, respectively.

RESULTS:

Applying to the testing dataset, the segmentation accuracy measured by the intersection over union (IOU), dice similarity coefficient (DICE), average precision rate (APR), average recall rate (ARR), and average symmetrical surface distance (ASSD) are 0.914, 0.955, 95.8% , 95.3% , 0.145 mm, respectively.

CONCLUSIONS:

The study demonstrates that the new method combining attention U-net with RNN yields the promising results of automatic tooth roots segmentation, which has potential to help improve the segmentation efficiency and accuracy in future clinical practice.

O estudo tem como objetivo analisar os partos realizados na região Nordeste nos últimos 10 anos. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo, quantitativo de corte transversal, em que se verificou a proporção de parto normal e cesariano realizados na região Nordeste por meio de Procedimentos Hospitalares no SUS relacionando como conteúdo da busca as internações no período de Jan/2010 a Jan/2020, baseando-se nos critérios do Ministério da Saúde por meio do Sistema de Informações Hospitalares do SUS e do Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único de Saúde do Brasil. Evidenciou-se que a região Nordeste apesar de sobrepor o parto normal como o mais realizado nos últimos dez anos dentro do total dos 9 estados integrantes, 7 apresentaram índices duas vezes acima dos limites de cesarianas preconizado pela Organização Mundial da Saúde que estabelece uma taxa recomendada de até 15%. Embora os dados apontem resultados positivos na escolha pelo parto normal, os índices de cesarianas ainda continuam sendo um fator alarmante e se mostram acima do preconizado, visto que a falta de acompanhamento adequado no pré-natal e a desinformação a respeito dos tipos de parto pode causar um aumento considerável de partos cesáreos.
FEATURES OF VALUATION OF DOMESTIC ANIMALS
Authors: Marchuk Alla
Published: September 2020

This article describes the value of an animal estimation. The animal is an object of civil law relations. The objects of civil law relations are usually things (objects of the material world in their natural state or objects created by human activity). The justification for assigning live animals to the category «object of civil rights» is related to the fact that they are objects of evaluation in material form – movable property, consumer goods. Therefore, the assessment turns the animal into a special object of civil rights, which is subject to the legal regime of the thing. Animal objects in Ukraine may be in state, communal and private ownership, under the protection of the state, regardless of their ownership rights. (Law of Ukraine «About the Animal World»). The valuation of the animal is carried out by authorized persons – forensic experts, forensic institutions and certified experts. The assessment is carried out in accordance with the procedure established by the Code of Criminal Procedure, the Code of Civil Procedure and the Code of Economic Procedure of Ukraine; Code of Administrative Offences; Code of Administrative Procedure of Ukraine; Customs Code of Ukraine; Laws of Ukraine «On Court Legal Expertise», «On Execution Production» and other legal acts on forensic activities, in particular, «Instructions on the Appointment and Conduct of Forensics and Expert Studies».

The problem is that such a study requires a complete list of the original data on the subject, a set of indicators, morphological, physiological (external, internal) and economic features and properties forming and characterizing the animal, as one. Each indicator and feature affects their cost.

In this overview study, we will focus on the factors that play an integral role in the product examination of domestic animals. Consider in detail the main concepts that need to be analysed and study the impact of these indicators when conducting a study using methodological approaches in accordance with National Standard 1.

In day-to-day life, when holding a pet, one does not pay attention to the little things that are crucial to the evaluation, and sometimes the lack of information of the object of the study makes it impossible to resolve the issue with the forensic expert. So, we have been able to identify a number of indicators to be addressed.
THE DETERMINATION OF SELECTION BORDERS FOR PIGS
Authors: Pelykh Viktor , Ushakova Svitlana
Published: September 2020

The aim of the article was to determine genetically and mathematically optimal target standards for pig selection for future generations. To determine minimal selection limits for pigs to obtain high productivity traits. We used common methods of evaluating the reproductive ability of sows, fattening and meat-fat qualities of progeny. Selection indexes were built by the method of standardized deviations according to M. V. Mykhailov. The target selection limits for animals were determined using the table of Le Roy. Selective-genetic parameters were determined by the main traits of reproductive ability, fattening and meat productivity of pigs. Selection indexes were estimated using the weighting coefficients of the traits for each group of pigs, used as a basis for minimal limits at different intensities of selection. The estimation of local progeny by selection indexes allowed ranging them depending on the level of productivity with the consideration of genotype. At 20 % selection, the minimal value of the reproductive ability index for the control group was 238.7 points. The minimal target threshold while selecting sires by the fattening traits of progeny within the 20 % selection was from 50.57 to 255.65 points for different groups. The minimal value of the index of fattening and meat traits was in the range from 270.05 to 606.94 points. The index estimation of pigs during the crossing allowed ranging them by the values of indexes. Minimal limits of selecting animals were determined and the selection of parental pairs with estimated productivity was optimized: in case of 20 % selection by multiple pregnancy with at least 11 animals, the area of loin eye – 30.5 – 44.5 sq.cm. It would be reasonable to select the animals, the productivity of progeny of which is above the determined limit, for further breeding from 238.70 to 606.94 points.

Published: September 2020

The antimicrobial activities of ethanolic extracts obtained from the leaves of Begonia solimutata L.B. Sm. & Wassh., Begonia goegoensis N.E.Br., Begonia foliosa Kunth, Begonia × erythrophylla Hérincq, Begonia thiemei C.DC., Begonia peltata Otto & Dietr., Begonia heracleifolia Cham. & Schltdl., Begonia dregei Otto & Dietr., and Begonia mexicana G. Karst. ex Fotsch were assessed against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strain. The leaves were brought into the laboratory for antimicrobial studies. Freshly crushed leaves were washed, weighed, and homogenized in 96% ethanol (in proportion 1:19) at room temperature. The extracts were then filtered and investigated for their antimicrobial activity. The testing of the antibacterial activity of the plant extracts was carried out in vitro by the Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion susceptibility test protocol. The most effective plants among species screened against S. aureus NCTC 12493 growth were B. peltata, B. thiemei, B. foliosa, Begonia × erythrophylla, and B. solimutata being highly active with the ethanolic extracts (diameters of inhibition zone ranged from 12.5 to 21 mm). The ethanolic extracts from nine Begonia plant species were evaluated for their antimicrobial activity against methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) strain. Extracts from all test Begonia plants caused a remarkable reduction in bacterial growth, measured as an inhibition zone diameters. The diameter of the inhibition zone for B. solimutata was (16.4±1.1) mm, for B. goegoensis – (14.2±1.0) mm, for B. foliosa – (14.9±1.2) mm, for Begonia × erythrophylla – (16.9±0.9) mm, for B. thiemei – (16.8±1.3) mm, for B. peltata – (18.1±0.9) mm, for B. heracleifolia – (15.3±0.9) mm, for B. dregei – (14.7±1.1) mm, and for B. mexicana – (13.8±0.9) mm/ The highly active antimicrobial effects of extracts obtained from B. peltata and B. thiemei noted against S. aureus NCTC 12493 growth is worthy of highlighting. Our studies indicated that Begonia plants are worthy of further investigation as a potential phytotherapeutic agent for treating infections caused by S. aureus., as well as for the development of innovative feed and preventative products in animal husbandry.

Pemilihan umum (pemilu) adalah bagian yang sangat penting dalam kehidupan demokrasi. Dalam menjalankan pemilu tersebut, dibutuhkan sistem pemilu yang menunjang berjalannya demokrasi dan sesuai dengan karakteristik negara tersebut. Indonesia saat ini menerapkan sistem pemilu proporsional daftar PR terbuka. Sistem proporsional ini diberlakukan semenjak Indonesia merdeka yang telah diwariskan Belanda. Akan tetapi, dalam pelaksanaanya hingga saat ini, sistem ini dikritik karena berbagai alasan, utamanya dalam membangun relasi antara wakil dan konstituennya. Oleh karena hal tersebut, sejak reformasi, aspirasi-aspirasi untuk menerapkan sistem distrik the first past the post (FPTP) sudah digaungkan. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk membahas bagaimana prospek penerapan sistem tersebut di Indonesia dan dampaknya bagi kualitas demokrasi Indonesia jika diterapkan. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode pendekatan yuridis normatif, komparatif, dan deskriptif analitis. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian yang dilakukan, ditemukan kesimpulan bahwa sistem FPTP mempunyai prospek untuk diterapkan dalam Pemilu Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat di Indonesia karena mampu menyelesaikan masalah-masalah perwakilan yang ada. Selain itu, dampak terhadap kualitas demokrasi Indonesia dari sistem ini adalah berdampak positif berupa meningkatkan relasi antara wakil dan konstituennya, tetapi juga bisa berdampak negatif berupa tidak terwakilinya suara-suara masyarakat dalam distrik yang memilih partai dengan sedikit basis dukungan dalam daerah tersebut.

Korupsi yang merupakan masalah global telah menyebabkan tingginya kerugian keuangan dan perekonomian negara di Indonesia. United Nation Convention Against Corruption telah mencanangkan rekomendasi kepada negara-negara untuk membuat pengaturan mengenai Non-Conviction Based Asset Forfeiture sebagai upaya untuk mengembalikan kerugian negara secara maksimal. Kerugian negara yang telah kembali saat ini masih tidak sebanding dengan kerugian negara yang secara nyata ada akibat korupsi. Urgensi ini lah yang menghadirkan konsep perlunya pengaturan mengenai Non-Conviction Based Asset Forfeiture di Indonesia. Penelitian yang digunakan bersifat yuridis normatif dengan pendekatan peraturan perundang-undangan (statute approach) dan pendekatan konseptual (conceptual approach). Peraturan perundang-undangan di Indonesia sejatinya telah mengadopsi konsep Non-Conviction Based Asset Forfeiture, namun tidak memenuhi secara maksimal dasar filosofis adanya konsep tersebut, yaitu mengembalikan kerugian negara akibat korupsi secara maksimal dan cepat dengan mekanisme peradilan perdata. Sehingga, undang-undang yang mengatur mengenai perampasan aset perlu dibuat tersendiri dan diundangkan untuk mengakomodasi upaya pengembalian kerugian negara akibat korupsi secara maksimal.

Perbandingan Perkiraan Debit Puncak Banjir Menggunakan Metode Nakayasu dan Metode FSR Jawa Sumatera untuk DAS Dombo Sayung
Authors: Syarifudin Muhammad , Utomo Karuniadi Satrijo
Published: September 2020

Banjir merupakan salah satu bentuk bencana alam yang hingga saat ini masih belum dapat diselesaikan. Dampak banjir tidak hanya kerugian infrastruktur berupa jalan dan fasilitas umum akan tetapi kerugian materil menjadi bagian dari dampak yang merugikan bagi masyarakan. Padahal, bagi sebagian warga di Semarang dan Kabupaten Demak, banjir menjadi persoalan rutin pada musim penghujan. Daerah yang menjadi langganan banjir di Demak yaitu daerah Sayung, Karang Asem dan Mranggen. Banjir di daerah tersebut sulit diatasi bahkan semakin lama persoalan banjir tersebut semakin parah dan meluas. Dengan demikian penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui perbandingan perkiraan debit puncak banjir melalui dua metode yang berbeda. Berdasarkan pada hasil maka mitigasi bencana juga dapat ditingkatkan. Metode dalam penelitian ini menggunakan metode Nakayasu dan FSR Jawa Sumatera untuk mengukur debit puncak banjir dengan menggunakan rentang data curah hujan 10 tahun. Adapun hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa debit banjir yang dianalisis dengan menggunakan metode Nakayasu menghasilkan debit banjir lebih besar daripada analisis debit banjir menggunakan FSR Jawa Sumatera. Hasil analisis dengan menggunakan metode Nakayasu diperoleh nilai terbesar untuk Sungai Penggaron 270,4 m3/detik. Sungai Dombo Sayung 296,4 m3/detik dan Sugai Dolok 332,2 m3/detik. Adapun, untuk Metode FSR Jawa Sumatera diperoleh nilai terbesar untuk Sungai Penggaron 112,7 m3/detik. Sungai Dombo Sayung 239,7 m3/detik dan Sugai Dolok 632,1 m3/detik.Kata kunci : debit banjir; dombo sayung; FSR Jawa Sumatera; nakayasu ABSTRACTFlooding is a form of natural disaster that has yet to be resolved. The impact of flooding is the loss of infrastructure in roads and public facilities, but a material loss is part of the community's detrimental impact. For some residents in Semarang and Demak Regency, flooding is a routine problem during the rainy season. Areas that are regularly flooded in Demak are Sayung, Karang Asem, and Mranggen. Floods in the area are challenging to overcome, even if flooding is getting worse and broader. Thus this study aims to determine the comparison of the estimated peak flood discharge through two different methods. Based on the results, disaster mitigation can also be improved. This study used Nakayasu and Java Sumatera FSR to measure the peak flood discharge using a ten-year rainfall data range. The analysis results show that the flood discharge analyzed using the Nakayasu method produces a more massive flood discharge than the flood discharge analysis using the Java Sumatra FSR. The analysis results using the Nakayasu method obtained the most significant value for the Penggaron River 270.4 m3/second. Sungai Dombo Sayung 296.4 m3/second and Sugai Dolok 332.2 m3/second. Meanwhile, for the Java Sumatra FSR Method, the most significant value was obtained for the Penggaron River 112.7 m3/second. Sungai Dombo Sayung 239.7 m3/second and Sugai Dolok 632.1 m3/second.
