Fine-grained Prediction of Political Leaning on Social Media with Unsupervised Deep Learning
Authors: Fagni Tiziano , Cresci Stefano
Published: February 2022

Predicting the political leaning of social media users is an increasingly popular task, given its usefulness for electoral forecasts, opinion dynamics models and for studying the political dimension of polarization and disinformation.

Here, we propose a novel unsupervised technique for learning fine-grained political leaning from the textual content of social media posts. Our technique leverages a deep neural network for learning latent political ideologies in a representation learning task. Then, users are projected in a low-dimensional ideology space where they are subsequently clustered. The political leaning of a user is automatically derived from the cluster to which the user is assigned. We evaluated our technique in two challenging classification tasks and we compared it to baselines and other state-of-the-art approaches. Our technique obtains the best results among all unsupervised techniques, with micro F1 = 0.426 in the 8-class task and micro F1 = 0.772 in the 3-class task. Other than being interesting on their own, our results also pave the way for the development of new and better unsupervised approaches for the detection of fine-grained political leaning.

Innovative application of quality methods in the homogeneity assessment of the F-16 aircraft group in terms of generated noise
Authors: Misztal Agnieszka , Szymanski Grzegorz , Misztal Wojciech , Komorski Pawel
Published: February 2022

Given the high-power concentration of combustion engines used in military aviation, it is reasonable to measure the instantaneous surges in the sound pressure level. Therefore, a re�search question was raised regarding the differences in this level for various aircraft engines of the same type (F100-PW-229) to assess their size and statistical significance. The aim of the paper is to discuss the attempt to check the significant difference between the parameters of the acoustic level generated by the aircraft engines. The measurements were carried out for 32 engines of the F-16 Block 52+ multirole aircraft during takeoff process. The parameters of noise in the point system and in the octave distribution were subject to analysis. Statistical methods dedicated to assessing production stability, i.e. the Shewhart chart, were applied. The results of the analysis showed that the discrepancies generally do not exceed a value of +/− 3σ . Therefore, it can be concluded that the analogous results for F-16 noise are homo�geneous. Thus, the Shewhart chart method proved useful for assessing the homogeneity of these measurements.
What Geometry for teaching? Appropriations of Experts on pedagogical studies mission in Europe, late 19th century
Authors: Da Conceição Gabriel Luís
Published: February 2022

Background: The training of teachers who teach mathematics is surrounded by knowledge that changes over time. These changes are for several moments mobilized by specialists, in this context, the official documents are possible historical sources for reading and analyzing changes. Objective: To analyze the systematizations of a “Geometry for teaching” put into circulation for the training of teachers, at the end of the 19th century, in Rio de Janeiro, at this time the Republic, by professors Amélia Fernandes da Costa, Luiz Augusto dos Reis and Manoel José Pereira Frazão, appointed by the republican power for the mission of pedagogical studies in Europe.  Data collection and analysis: Data were collected from the travel records of commissioners, and also from publications in educational, analysed from the perspective of Cultural History. Design: Use for the study the official reports found by the documents and Revista Pedagogica, printed for teachers, these documents, acquired or accumulated by the specialists in question, were solved and problematized following the following investigation steps: recompilation of teaching experiences; comparative analysis of teachers' knowledge; analysis of systematization and use of knowledge as knowledge (Valente, 2018; 2020). Setting and Participants: It is a historiographical study in documents. Results: An analysis of the sources revealed that the performance of the documents, as well as their active participation in political issues and primary education, the recognition of peers, a call from the State for the pedagogical trip and the consequent responsibility to produce an official report, placed them in the category of Experts, thus allowing us to qualify them and put into circulation a proposal for a new “Geometry for teaching”, characteristic of intuitive times, and against the previous proposal. Conclusions: The “Geometry for teaching” put into circulation, should be mobilized by teachers in close relationship with Design and Handicrafts and was not structured as a subject in primary school.
Fake News Phenomenon: Formation of Beliefs under Pragmatic Optics and Mathematical Education
Authors: Souza Leandro De Oliveira , Araújo Jussara De Loiola
Published: February 2022

Background: Few studies in mathematics education have been looking at the new dynamics of communication with focus on the analysis of speeches propagated by false news. This social phenomenon is worrying: news that uses mathematical arguments to guide, shape, and reflect public opinion and popular thinking based on misleading information. Objectives: The aim of this investigation was to understand the role of mathematics education in the process of strengthening democracy. Data collection and analysis: A video published on a YouTube channel, in which mathematical arguments are used to convince public opinion about a certain point of view, was the object of the study whose result is presented in this paper. Design: With theoretical-methodological procedures that are based on the pragmatic theory of fixation of beliefs and on the verification of the mathematical content, the analysis adopted a qualitative approach. Setting and Participants: This is a study about a video considered false by news agencies, aired by a famous Brazilian journalist.  Results: The study of fake news and desinformation scenario has allowed us to observe that mathematical speeches linked to the ideology of mathematical certainty are responsible for the establishment of beliefs and the formation of opinions by authority and tenacity methods. Conclusions: We conclude that mathematical models and mathematical discourses used in virtual communication environments can be responsible for camouflaging the human factor in political decisions and obscuring the visibility of ethical and morality variables.
Remote Teacher Actions of Mathematics Teachers in Higher Education
Authors: Rhea Vanessa Cristina , Passos Marinez Meneghello , Arruda Sergio De Mello
Published: February 2022

Background: the investigation of teacher actions in face-to-face teaching has become a fertile line of research both in mathematics and in other areas. The pandemic moment that Brazil has been going through since March 2020, which forced teaching to take place remotely, provided conditions for the research to be extended to this type of teaching. Objectives: investigate teacher’s actions in remote education to understand what teachers actually did and do in their classes in this teaching format. Design: This research is characterised as qualitative, with the focus of observation on synchronous and asynchronous classes held by teachers. Setting and Participants: Eleven teachers who teach mathematics in higher education remotely at different institutions in the state of Paraná participated in the research. Data collection and analysis: Data were collected through interviews conducted via Google Meet, recorded, transcribed and analysed using discursive textual analysis. Results: From the analysis, the remote teaching actions were grouped into two moments, called Poscênio [Backstage] and Execution. The Backstage covered a set of seven actions (Self-education, Acquire, Organise, Elaborate, Send, Communicate, and Evaluate) that involved 35 different microactions, when the teacher carried out the preparation of the discipline and classes, as well as their closings asynchronously. The Execution moment comprised six actions (Operationalise, Write, Explain, Answer, Wait, and Interrupt) and 24 microactions, in which the teacher synchronously put into practice what was prepared in Backstage. Conclusions: Based on the results (large number of actions and micro-actions in Backstage), we conclude that remote teaching has required a great effort from teachers in the search for information and elaborate planning for the realisation of classes, which perhaps explains the anxieties revealed by them during interviews.
Caracterização Eletroquímica e Avaliação do Coeficiente de Difusão de Compostos de Inclusão Formados entre Ciclodextrinas e Ferroceno
Authors: Rodrigues de Carvalho Fernando , Da Silva Rafael
Published: February 2022

ResumoCiclodextrinas (CDs) são macromoléculas cíclicas com formato de cone, cujo interior hidrofóbico e exterior hidrofílico permite a formação de compostos de inclusão com espécies pouco solúveis em água, como por exemplo o ferroceno (Fc). Como o Fc tem potencial redox bem definido, este atua como sonda para avaliar as propriedades eletroquímicas e o coeficiente de difusão dos compostos de inclusão. Este trabalho tem o intuito de realizar uma caracterização eletroquímica dos compostos de inclusão β-CD/Fc e g-CD/Fc e avaliar seus coeficientes de difusão, empregando método eletroquímico, a fim de atestar que técnicas eletroquímicas são capazes de monitorar o crescimento de autoagregados moleculares. Os resultados mostram que há formação dos compostos de inclusão e que estes, assim como o Fc, apresentam processo redox reversível e controlado por difusão na superfície do eletrodo em uma ampla faixa de velocidade de varredura. Apesar de serem formadas pelas mesmas unidades de glicose, o interior das CDs aparenta ter ambientes químicos diferentes. Não houve variação significativa do coeficiente de difusão dos compostos de inclusão à medida que suas concentrações aumentam. Este fato sustenta a proposta de que técnicas eletroquímicas, como voltametria de pulso diferencial, são viáveis no monitoramento de processo de autoagregação molecular em meio aquoso de moléculas eletroativas.Palavras-chave: Eletroquímica, Coeficiente de Difusão, Compostos de Inclusão.

AbstractCyclodextrins (CDs) are cyclic cone-shaped macromolecules, whose hydrophobic interior and hydrophilic exterior allow the inclusion compounds formation with species that are poorly soluble in water, such as ferrocene (Fc). As the Fc molecule has well-defined redox potential, it acts as probe to evaluate the electrochemical properties and the inclusion compounds diffusion coefficient. This work aims to perform an electrochemical characterization of the inclusion compounds β-CD/Fc and -CD/Fc and to evaluate their diffusion coefficients, applying an electrochemical method, in order to attest that electrochemical techniques are capable of monitoring the molecular self-aggregation process. The results show that the inclusion compounds are formed and that these compounds, such as the Fc, have a reversible redox process controlled by diffusion on the electrode surface over a wide sweeping speed range. Despite being formed by the same glucose units, the CDs interior seems to have different chemical environments. There was no significant variation in the inclusion compounds diffusion coefficient as their concentrations increased. This fact supports the proposal that electrochemical techniques, such as differential pulse voltammetry, are feasible in monitoring the self-aggregation process of small electroactive molecules in aqueous medium.

AbstractThe study of numerical simulation on fused polymer rheology has been evolving in line with the improvement of software and hardware. Analyzing the rheological behavior of these polymers is of paramount importance especially in the automotive sector, which always seeks to replace heavier materials with lighter materials. The present work aims to numerically analyze the behavior of the variables temperature, speed, pressure drop and viscosity of Methylene Polyoxide, treated in the problem as a non-Newtonian and incompressible fluid, during an abrupt expansion process, a very common process in injection processing of thermoplastics. In order to obtain the desired results, a numerical simulation was performed with the theoretical basis of the Navier-Stokes equations for continuity, momentum and energy and the Cross - WLF viscosity model considering the steady state. The finite volume method was used to discretize the government equations and the dimensioning method was defined to compare the curves of the temperature, speed and viscosity profiles obtained and comparing with other authors. The simulations proved to be satisfactory and the viscosity model was able to be validated.

Published: February 2022

Objective: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is one of the most common chronic diseases. The CYP450 plays an important role in the biosynthesis of steroid hormones and the hormonal activity is mediated by the androgen receptor (AR) and the enzyme 5-alpha reductase (5αR). Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the relationship between these factors in T2DM.
Materials and Methods: This case-control study was performed with 60 volunteers, including 30 diabetics and 30 healthy individuals. Demographic information of individuals was recorded and levels of CYP450, 5αR, and AR were measured in serum by ELISA. Data were analyzed by SPSS v.26 version and the significance level was less than 5%.
Results: There were no significant difference  between diabetics and healthy individuals in gender (P= 1), body mass index (P= 0.199), diastolic pressure(P= 0.466), uric acid(P= 0.202), creatinine(P= 0.627), low-density lipoprotein (P= 0.572), high-density lipoprotein(P=0.692); But there was a significant difference in systolic pressure(P= 0.034), triglyceride(P= 0.0001), and insulin(P= 0.003), between diabetics and healthy individuals. The distribution of CYP450, 5αR and AR in two groups shows that the level of all three factors is higher in diabetic people (P= 0.0001). Also, glycosylated hemoglobin and insulin have a direct relationship with CYP450 (P= 0.0001, R=0.494; P= 0.043, R=0.263), 5αR (P= 0.0001, R=0.808; P= 0.016, R=0.309) and with AR (P= 0.0001, R=0.836; P= 0.011, R=0.326).
Conclusion: These results showed that there was a relationship between the levels of CYP450, 5αR, and ARs with T2DM which may explain hormonal changes in diabetic people and the different responses to treatment.

Objective: High-fat diet (HFD) rises the susceptibility of both obesity and consequently Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). We designed a study to investigate the improving effects of herbal extract (HE, the combination of turmeric, ginger, boswellia, and cat’s claw extract) on the risk of high AGEs-fat diet 60% (HFD) mice induced colitis and obesity.
Materials and Methods: Four-week-old C57BL/6 male mice after 2 weeks adaptation with normal diet were fed with either HFD or normal diets. After 6 weeks of being on diet, animals received HE for 16 weeks. Obesity index markers were determined as well as histological studies using H&E (Hematoxylin-eosin) staining. Colonic expression of IL-1β was determined. Data analysis was performed by utilizing Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney test for post-hoc comparisons, and SPSS (version 17.0) and GraphPad Prism Software (Version 8.0, USA).
Results: HE decreased histological scores (by 6-fold) in HFD diet-fed mice, and reduced myeloperoxidase activity (by 2.2-fold), and ratio of colon weight to length (by 4-fold) in HFD diet-fed mice. Moreover, HE prevented intestinal permeability through the restoration of ZO-1 (by 4-fold) and immune homeostasis by modulation of IL-1β (by 2.4-fold) expression.
Conclusion: HFD induced obesity-associated colitis. HE decreased the colitis symptoms in HFD diet-fed mice, with the reduction of inflammation.

The Antiglycation Ability of Typical Medicinal Plants, Natural and Synthetic Compounds: A Review
Authors: Sadeghi Morteza , Miroliaei Mehran
Published: February 2022

Given the prevalence of diabetes and the increasing number of diabetics, it is essential to find medicines to decrease the chronic complications of diabetes. Several studies have demonstrated that chronic hyperglycemia and its complications are directly related to protein glycation. Thus, identifying natural inhibitors to stop glycation of proteins may play a crucial role in managing the chronic complications of diabetes. Currently, various natural and synthetic compounds with anti-glycation attributes have been reported. The use of natural compounds in herbs (medicinal and non-medicinal) may be of particular importance due to fewer side effects and a wide range of therapeutic properties. Accordingly, this mini-review provides a list of common natural medicines and synthetic compounds with anti-glycation activity. As well, it provides brief information on the formation of advanced glycosylated end products (AGEs), their side effects, and glycation prevention mechanisms.

Background: Occupational stress and high work-related burnout have been observed among operating room personnel, so finding any therapeutic aids to alleviate this stress and relieve them is always valuable. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of occupational empowerment model on job stress and burnout in operating room nurses.
Methods: This quasi-experimental study was performed on all operating room personnel working in the operating rooms of Zahedan University of Medical Sciences hospitals, which numbered more than 250. Thirty 30 operating room personnel were selected and randomly divided into intervention and control groups. The number of research units was 15 persons in each group. Questionnaires used in this study were Nursing Job Stress Questionnaire (NSS) and Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI). Intervention was performed in 4 sessions, two days a week for 2 weeks and completed again after 4 weeks. The control group received no intervention. Descriptive statistics used mean and standard deviation, and inferential statistics, One-way ANOVA, Fisher, Chi-square and t-test were used.
Results: In the experimental group, the mean occupational stress of the subjects before the intervention was 7966 ± 8.33 Post-intervention was 72.93 ± 8.72. In the control group, the mean of job stress was 84.46 ± 7.32 before and 84.46 ± 7.32 respectively. There was a significant difference between the two groups after the intervention in terms of occupational stress (p value < 0.001) .In the experimental group, mean burnout was 59.26 ± 22.02 before and 56.8 ± 20.79 after the intervention. In the control group, the mean of burnout was 50.66 ± 17.20 before intervention and 51.00 ± 7.43 after intervention.

Background: Patients undergoing bone marrow transplantation (BMT) are high-risk during the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak. Viral infections are a common complication in transplanted patients. Since BMT is a definitive line treatment for many hematological malignancies, the BMT unit should provide therapy services during the COVID-19 outbreak. According to studies over the past two years, following the COVID-19 prevention guidelines recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) and European Group for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) has made it possible to carry out this high-risk treatment. This review article presents the experiences and challenges of BMT centers during the outbreak of COVID-19.
Methods: The present study is a review article based on searching in medical-scientific databases, including PubMed, Scopus, MEDLINE, and Google Scholar, from 2020 to 2021. All articles were evaluated, and 30 articles were selected as the primary sources of study.
Conclusion: Regarding the stability and new strains emergence of coronavirus over the last two years, as well as the importance of BMT as the last-line treatment in some hematological malignancies, COVID-19 prevention is the first pivotal step for immunity of BMT donor and recipient. Training medical service personnel and patients will effectively prevent virus contagiousness and spread. Moreover, regular screening of medical staff can inhibit viral transmission to admitted patients. Stick to home quarantine in patients pre-and post-BMT restricts the risk of COVID-19 contamination.

In this study, an anti-oxidant nanoformulation to prevent the oxidation of salmon was developed using rosmarinic acid (RA). Minced salmon samples (MSs) were treated with 8.10-3 g (RAT1) and 16.10-3 g (RAT2) RA-loaded nanoparticles for 100 g MS rosmarinic acid, separately. The thiobarbituric acid (TBA) values of control (C), RAT1, and RAT2 samples stored at 4 °C were found as 2.995, 1.350, and 0.994 mg MDA/kg; respectively, after 9 days. While the initial free fatty acid (FFA) value of C samples was 2.011%, RAT1 and RAT2 were found as 2.765% and 2.494%, respectively. The 2,2,diphenylpicrylhydrazyl (DPPH) values of MSs treated with RAT1 and RAT2 were observed to be higher than that of C samples. C samples were evaluated as unfit for human consumption on the 5th day of the storage, it was revealed that but the sensory scores of MSs treated with RAT1 and RAT2 were still acceptable for human consumption.
Evidence for Hospitals in Early India

Published: February 2022

The article surveys the history of South Asian literature and epigraphy for reliable evidence regarding the existence of early hospitals.  It explores the reasons that may account for the exclusion of South Asian data from international scholarship on the history of hospitals.  The widely-repeated idea that King Aśoka built hospitals is refuted.  Nevertheless, hospitals may be very early in India.  It is suggested that scholarly medical literature on the building and equipping of a hospital was transmitted to Baghdad in the late eighth century and influenced the construction of early Islamic hospitals
