Improving the Quality Indicators of Multilevel Data Sampling Processing Models Based on Unsupervised Clustering
Authors: Lebedev Ilya S. , Sukhoparov Mikhail E.
Published: February 2024

This paper presents a solution for building and implementing data processing models and experimentally evaluates new possibilities for improving ensemble methods based on multilevel data processing models. This study proposes a model to reduce the cost of retraining models when transforming data properties. The research objective is to improve the quality indicators of machine learning models when solving classification problems. The novelty is a method that uses a multilevel architecture of data processing models to determine the current data properties in segments at different levels and assign algorithms with the best quality indicators. This method differs from the known ones by using several model levels that analyze data properties and assign the best models to individual segments of data and training. The improvement consists of using unsupervised clustering of data samples. The resulting clusters are separate subsamples for assigning the best machine-learning models and algorithms. Experimental values of quality indicators for different classifiers on the whole sample and different segments were obtained. The findings show that unsupervised clustering using multilevel models can significantly improve the quality indicators of “weak” classifiers. The quality indicators of individual classifiers improve when the number of data clusters is increased to a certain threshold. The results obtained are applicable to classification when developing models and machine learning methods. The proposed method improved the classification quality indicators by 2–9% due to segmentation and the assignment of models with the best quality indicators in individual segments. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2024-08-01-025 Full Text: PDF

POEM IN MOTION: A UNIQUE BLEND OF EAST AND WEST IN SANDHYA RAJU’S PERFORMANCE POETRY OF MAYA ANGELOU’S POEM ‘PHENOMENAL WOMAN’
Authors: Sanal Sajna
Published: February 2024

Dance is an ancient, universal art form that stirs the souls of the performer as well as the admirers. Dance has the power to heal, nourish, teach, and spread joy and peace. In India, a multicultural and multilingual country, innumerable folk, and classical dance forms have flourished and continue to be practised across villages, towns, and cities. Religious festivals, cultural gatherings, social movements, and youth programmes are incomplete without the rhythm and beauty of music and dance. On Feb 2, 2022, the eminent Kuchipudi danseuse Sandhya Raju launched a terpsichorean rendition of the famous poem ‘Phenomenal Woman’ written by the American poet and activist Maya Angelou and published in 1978, as a tribute to the former’s mother on her birthday. Raju, with her co-dancers from the Aayana Dance Company, made a creative interpretation of the poet’s powerful words, while adding a verse of her own which in turn emphasised the concepts of inner strength of a woman and the depth of mother-daughter bonding. The choreography largely borrows from Kuchipudi, a dance form with its origin in an eponymous village in Andhra Pradesh and founded in the classical Sanskrit treatise Natya Sastra. Angelou’s emphatic paean to the confidence and inner beauty of the woman fuses with the Indian performance art form to weave a mesmerising visual-aural experience to the viewer, bringing in an East-West blend that surpasses the boundaries of language, culture, and race.

Background: Brain herniation occurs when there is something in the brain that pushes brain tissue. Brain herniation is a mechanical dislocation of brain organs to other regions due to mass, trauma, neoplastic, ischemic or infection. Because the herniation itself causes high pressure on certain brain structures, it is fatal. Hence at all hospitals, the first action performed is nothing but reducing intracranial pressure.On neurological examination, there is a decrease in the degree of consciousness. Depending on the severity of the herniation, interference with one or more brainstem reflexes as well as the function of the cranial nerve may occur. Patients will also show a consistent inability to breathe and irregular heartbeats..

 

Methods: Using established systematic review methods, three databases  (PubMed, Cochrane, ScienceDirect) with publication time before June 2021. We only include English literature in this review. Inclusion criteria was the study that published at the last 10 years, and only take a study that discuss about brain herniation in traumatic brain injury, the exclusion criteria that this review didn’t take an article journal as areference.

 

Results and conclusion: Ten studies (more than 1000 patients) were included.The current researches about the most common type and the most shown clinical manifestation of brain herniation in traumatic brain injury have been studied for the past few years, the result shows that most common type of the brain herniation is supratentorial herniation (transcalvaria/ekstracranial herniation (40%), transtentorial/central herniation (30%), uncal herniation (30%)). While The most common clinical manisfestation of brain herniation in traumatic brain injury based on this research are dilated pupil and decreased of consciousness.

A cognitive approach to concept of visualization in problem-solving
Authors: Lingefjärd Thomas
Published: February 2024

Any ball or small stone that is thrown follows a certain path. Many of us have experienced throwing objects towards a specific goal many times. If we throw a ball to someone or against something, the ball will follow a certain path, a visualized motion. Hopefully you can imagine a motion path if you are asked to throw something towards a target some 10 meters away. Somehow we can imagine the height and path in order to get the ball (or small stone) in the basket or what we are aiming at. If we want to shoot a basketball to go into the basket, we consider elevation angle and initial velocity also. Most of us humans do that without thinking about it.
#Am I Next? A Qualitative Study of Young Black Men Navigating Structural Violence: A Journey of Survival
Authors: Taylor John
Published: February 2024

ABSTRACT: Throughout history, Black men have been subjected to numerous minority stressors, social injustices, racism, police violence, and other traumatic incidents. Though research has examined young Black men’s mental health and sexual behavior, no study has looked specifically at young Black men’s experiences and perceptions of the connections between structural violence, mental health, and sexual behavior. To address this gap, this study reports the findings of 20 semi-structured interviews with 18–25 year old Black men (10 men that have sex with men [MSM], and 10 heterosexual). The study integrated Minority Stress Theory (Myers, 2003) and Terror Management Theory (Greenberg et al., 1986) to situate mortality salience as a proximal stressor in the processes outlined in Minority Stress Theory. Thematic analyses indicated that young Black men connected structural violence to a heightened sense of mortality and performance for survival. Furthermore, heterosexual Black men linked racism and discrimination to reluctance or safety precautions regarding sex with White women, and MSM highlighted sexual behaviors they did not engage in due to stigma and discrimination. Men clearly connected these experiences to their mental health. This study provides a variety of implications for police departments, mental health providers, educators, and medical providers that can be applied to help create a world where Black men feel protected, safe, seen, and heard.
#OverPolicing Black Males via Targeting and Searches: Navigating Supposed Freedom(s) and (Social) Death at the Hands of Police Through Counterstorytelling
Authors: Lacy Nicholas B.
Published: February 2024

ABSTRACT: Beyond killing Black males, US law enforcement continues to treat Black boys/men as threats to be neutralized even when not armed or resisting. In this study I investigate 15 Black men’s narratives to provide a deeper understanding of Black male vilification and vulnerabilities in police encounters insofar as being targeted and searched. Using Afropessimism’s tenet of social death and Critical Race Methodology: Counterstorytelling this study answers, (a) how do Black men describe being targeted by US police officers, and (b) what experiences do Black males encounter with police officers’ searches? Findings elucidate how Black males face a dual death even when no threats exist, therefore having their freedom(s) infringed. Conclusions inform psychological reforms and discretionary search policies.

Urban resilience against environmental disasters is a critical aspect of sustainable urban development, particularly in megacities like Lagos and New York, which face diverse environmental challenges. This review examines the comparative analysis of urban resilience strategies in Lagos, Nigeria, and New York City, USA, focusing on their responses to environmental disasters. Both cities encounter distinct environmental hazards, including flooding, hurricanes, and heatwaves, albeit within different socio-economic contexts. Lagos, Africa's most populous city, grapples with rapid urbanization, inadequate infrastructure, and informal settlements, exacerbating its vulnerability to environmental disasters. In contrast, New York City, a global financial hub, confronts challenges posed by its dense urban fabric, aging infrastructure, and coastal exposure. Despite differing contextual factors, both cities strive to enhance their resilience through various strategies. Lagos employs a mix of top-down and bottom-up approaches, emphasizing community engagement, early warning systems, and infrastructure improvements to mitigate flood risks. Initiatives such as the Lagos State Resilience Strategy and the implementation of green infrastructure projects signify efforts to enhance adaptive capacity and reduce vulnerability. Conversely, New York City adopts a multifaceted approach, integrating policy frameworks, technological innovations, and community-based initiatives to bolster resilience. Post-Hurricane Sandy, the city launched the "OneNYC" plan, emphasizing infrastructure upgrades, coastal protection measures, and climate adaptation strategies to withstand future shocks. Comparative analysis reveals both convergences and divergences in urban resilience strategies. While Lagos prioritizes grassroots involvement and low-cost solutions, New York emphasizes institutional coordination and investment in resilient infrastructure. Challenges persist in both contexts, including funding constraints, governance issues, and socio-economic disparities, underscoring the need for holistic and inclusive resilience frameworks. Understanding the nuances of urban resilience in diverse contexts can inform policy interventions and best practices transferable across cities globally. By examining the experiences of Lagos and New York, this review contributes to the discourse on building resilient cities capable of navigating environmental uncertainties and safeguarding the well-being of urban populations.

Published: February 2024

Biodiversity, especially in West Kalimantan, is very diverse, one of which is the kesum plant (Polygonum minus husks). The kesum plant is a plant that can be used as herbal medicine. The utilization of kesum plants is usually done as part of the leaves, namely as local processed cooking spices. Based on Fitofarmaka studies, kesum plants are believed to have antibacterial, antifungal, anti-viral, antioxidant, anti-cancer, and antiulcer activities. The study's aim was to find out how well different concentrations of kesum leaf juice-based solid soap formulations stopped the growth of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. This study used kesum leaves (Polygonum minus husks), which were squeezed, and then made solid soap preparations with concentrations of 3.93%, 5.25%, and 6.56%. Nine repetitions were carried out in each treatment, so the number of samples used was 27. The results of the antibacterial inhibition test showed that the soap preparation samples had the ability to inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. The result of the statistical analysis value in the Friedman test is P = 0.000, which states that there is a difference in each concentration of solid soap prepared from kesum leaf juice. Dilution concentrations of 5.25% and 6.56% are more effective in inhibiting the growth of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria than 3.93%.
Gazeta Medica da Bahia: análise preliminar da suspensão do periódico no século XX
Authors: Santos Davilene Souza , Barros Alessandra Santana Soares , Rosa Flávia Goulart Mota Garcia
Published: February 2024

O objetivo do texto é analisar fatores socioculturais que estejam associados à interrupção do periódico científico Gazeta Medica da Bahia, ocorrida em 1935. Criado na Bahia em 1866, por uma associação de médicos independentes, a revista apresentou uma metodologia e uma perspectiva investigativa para a medicina tropical que ultrapassou barreiras geográficas e epistemológicas. Desse modo, essa investigação de natureza aplicada, com abordagem qualitativa, por meio de um estudo bibliográfico e documental, busca identificar alguns aspectos que levaram à suspensão do periódico entre 1935 e 1965, ressurgindo em 1966, ano do centenário de fundação.  Para atingir o objetivo proposto, adotou-se a revisão de literatura e a observação sistemática do periódico como ferramenta de coleta de dados. Verifica-se que as revistas científicas da medicina passaram por mudanças significativas no início do século XX, influenciadas por questões relativas à forma e ao conteúdo.  Assim, alguns periódicos originados no século XIX foram atingidos por essas transformações, em virtude da manutenção de uma tradição evidenciada em outro período histórico, político, social e cultural. O ressurgimento da Gazeta em 1966 revela uma adequação aos aspectos da época relativos à editoração das publicações, atendendo a quesitos considerados relevantes, como as normas para submissão dos artigos, estruturado em seções, resumo em língua estrangeira e lista de referências. No entanto, a permanência no circuito editorial se apresenta de forma efêmera, voltando a ser suspenso em 1972, o que sugere novas investigações.

Vulnerabilità in migrazione
Sguardi critici su asilo e protezione internazionale in Italia
Authors: Garofalo Geymonat Giulia , Marchetti Sabrina , Morino Baquetto Alice
Published: February 2024

In the current public debate on asylum and migration, there is a growing emphasis on the need to protect the most vulnerable - such as minors, pregnant women, LGBTQ+ people and people with disabilities. The concept of ‘vulnerability’ is indeed playing an increasingly central role in migration policies. However, there is no unanimous understanding of what migrants’ ‘vulnerabilities’ are and how they should be recognised and addressed. The issue is often approached in a reductive and instrumental way. This volume provides critical tools for reflecting on ‘vulnerability’ and asylum and international protection policies through interdisciplinary contributions that interrogate rights, policies, public discourses and social practices.
«Tu dì tutta la verità»: categorie e politiche migratorie nel diritto d’asilo
Authors: Sorgoni Barbara
Published: February 2024

A leitmotiv in contemporary migration procedures, soliciting asylum seekers to “tell the truth” seems to automatically open up the possibility to get international protection, thus generating hope and expectations. Acknowledging the complex nature of the refugee status determination procedure, and the intertwinement between conflicting requests this system produces - i.e. to say the truth and to produce a “credible” narrative - I focus on instances of rejection where issues like vulnerability and provenance played a decisive role, in order to articulate the many aspects which affect the outcome of the procedure, regardless of the truth of the story.

Die Medizin hat in den letzten Jahrzehnten außergewöhnliche Fortschritte gemacht. Trotzdem suchen viele Menschen ihr Heil in der sogenannten Alternativmedizin, die Wirksamkeitsnachweise fast immer schuldig bleibt. Der Autor sieht die Gründe für die Abkehr von bewährten medizinischen Behandlungen zum einen darin, dass es im medizinischen Alltag immer wieder versäumt wird, auf den kranken Menschen mit seinen eigenen Perspektiven verständig einzugehen, zum anderen im von der Alternativmedizin leicht zu missbrauchenden Autonomiebedürfnis des Menschen. Wie kann das Vertrauen von Patientinnen und Patienten in wissenschaftlich erprobte Verfahren gestärkt werden? Norbert Schmacke zeigt auf, was sich im Gesundheitswesen ändern muss, damit die Fortschritte der evidenzbasierten Medizin allen Menschen zugutekommen können.

Published: February 2024

The problem of legality and management of waqf land in the midst of Muslim community life in the realm of praxis, often triggers case problems, such as the withdrawal of the waqf land, the seizure of waqf land and others. This study intends to identify factors of ineffective regulation on waqf land certification in Sarmi District, Papua Province. This qualitative study is empirical legal research. SoerjonoSoekanto's theory of legal effectiveness became the theory of subject matter analysis. Data collection through observation techniques, interviews and documentation. Meanwhile, data analysis uses data reduction, presentation, and verification techniques. The results of this study show that the ineffectiveness of regulations related to certification of various waqf lands in Sarmi Regency is caused by the views of the community which is a weak legal culture, including the view that there will be no waqf land disputes, the view of the difficulty of the waqf land certification process, the view of the Wakf Pledge Deed as the legality of waqf land. The theoretical implications and novelty of this study emphasize that to realize the effectiveness of the implementation of waqf land certification, massive and comprehensive socialization is needed related to understanding of the waqf land certification program and waqf land management management. The limitation of this study is that it has not examined the role of Islamic religious leaders in Sarmi Regency regarding the waqf land certification program.

Published: February 2024

In the context of advancing automotive fleet electrification dynamics, the development of hybrid electric vehicles (HEV) and electric vehicles (EV) serves as a pivotal strategy to mitigate CO2 emissions and promote decarbonization in the transportation sector. While Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV) are prevalent, Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEV) are gaining traction as a compelling alternative for heavy mobility, particularly Light Commercial Vehicles (LCV) and trucks were relying solely on batteries may not be feasible. Ensuring the efficiency of FCEVs necessitates a profound understanding and control of fuel cell operational conditions. However, concerns persist regarding fuel cell durability due to specific aging phenomena leading to performance decay after operational cycles. The objective of this study is to build a model to accurately characterize and control the fuel cell within a FCEV, by simulating its behavior during cycling and by dealing with common ageing issues like flooding, cold start, and carbon monoxide poisoning. The model described in this study allows not only to simulate the cathode, the anode, and the fuel cell membrane, but it also proposes strategies to handle the wa-ter management at the membrane, deal with cold starts, counter poisoning and, in the end, en-hance the fuel cell performance and lifespan.

Understanding the Superintendent Pipeline: A Call for a National Longitudinal Dataset

Published: February 2024

A recent study published in Educational Researcher by White (2023) examined superintendent gender gaps. This work required 4 years of internet searches to identify and match superintendent names with each of the roughly 13,000 school districts in the United States. Although this study provided important insights into the superintendent gender gaps, the study is unable to examine gaps for females of color or the long-term career pathways of superintendents. The lack of a national longitudinal superintendent dataset has meant researchers and policymakers have limited insights into superintendent racial and gender gaps, turnover rates, experience, and career pathways to the superintendency. Drawing on data from the Texas State Longitudinal Data System, we offer several findings to provide a glimpse of what could be accomplished with a longitudinal dataset. Policymakers, school boards, search firms, and communities will fail to understand the full range of challenges and opportunities to diversifying and strengthening the superintendent workforce until such a dataset exists and is accessible to researchers and other interested parties.
Analyzing Entropy Features for A-FIB Detection
Authors: Ni Luke , Gupta Arnav , Borkar Siddhant
Published: February 2024

Atrial Fibrillation (A-FIB) is the most common heartbeat arrhythmia in the United States. It is characterized by an irregularity in electrical impulse reception, causing the atria to beat asynchronously from the ventricles. A-FIB episodes are sporadic, so symptoms may not appear during clinical visits, causing a risk of misdiagnosis which can lead to life-threatening strokes. This study seeks to utilize a range of nonlinear dynamic features to detect A-FIB through using RR-intervals, the distance between two R-peaks, in electrocardiograms (ECG). Data were retrieved from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Beth-Israel Hospital (MIT-BIH) A-FIB Database. 10 entropy=related estimators were used and compared using three systems of analysis. Hyperparameter tuning on all tree-based methods and some non-tree-based methods was conducted to improve the accuracy of A-FIB prediction. Tree-based methods, such as Random Forests and Cat Boosting, performed higher accuracy in A-FIB prediction than non-tree-based models. If implemented in wearable heart rate monitoring devices, such as smartwatches, the machine learning models of this study can provide a preliminary A-Fib diagnosis outside of clinical settings.
The Scientification of Games: A complementary approach to improving behavioural science through games
Authors: Dyson Ben
Published: February 2024

In a recent Nature Comment, Long et al. (2023) argued for the gamification of behavioural sciences, where the intrinsic motivations and reward structures associated with games are implemented to improve the quality and quantity of human data. A complementary approach is also available, where commercially available games are studied for their hidden scientific content. Here the goal is not the ‘gamification of science’ but rather the ‘scientification of games.’ This approach asks whether naturalistic data related to the cognitive architecture of human behaviour can be found within games designed for commercial rather than scientific use, and considers if the ground truth of behaviour and cognition may be better revealed by treating individuals not as ‘study participants’ but rather ‘game players.’
Strategic housing decisions and the evolution of urban settlements: Optimality modeling and empirical application in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia
Authors: Fedorova Natalia , Kandler Anne , McElreath Richard
Published: February 2024

Investments in housing influence migration and landscape construction, making them a key component of human-environment interactions. However, the strategic decision-making that builds residential landscapes is an underdeveloped area of research in evolutionary approaches to human behavior. We develop a model of strategic settlement and fit it to data from Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. We construct a stochastic dynamic programming model to explore the trade-offs between building, moving, and saving over time, finding different trade-offs depending on optimisation scenarios. Household strategies are estimated using data on 825 households that settled in the Ger districts between 1942 and 2020. The Ger districts are areas of self-built housing that feature both mobile dwellings (gers) and immobile houses (bashins). Using Approximate Bayesian Computation, we find the parameters of our dynamic programming model that best fit the empirical data. The model is able to capture the time horizon of housing changes and their bi-directionality, showing that moving from a bashin to ger can also be an optimal strategy. However, the model under-predicts some types of dwelling change; we discuss deviations from model predictions in relation to housing changes.We identify a more detailed exploration of risk and population mixes of strategies as key steps for future research
Social Inequality and Data Sciences: a comparative analysis of the German labour market
Authors: Frege Carola
Published: February 2024

This paper explores the status of population data infrastructure with regard to Germany’s ability to address social inequalities in the labour market compared to the UK. I argue that data availability, though not sufficient, is a necessary condition for policy effectiveness, in particular in the area of social inequality. I find evidence that the collection and analysis of population data in Germany with regard to the protected categories, such as gender and ethnic minorities, is frequently insufficient and reveals a deeper, structural problem of German data sciences reflecting an uneasy relationship between scientific knowledge production and the German public discourse and its political class. Possible explanations might be a legacy of ethical and privacy concerns, a longstanding public policy focus on collectivism rather than individual rights, and a preference ofor hermeneutics and qualitative rather than quantitative social sciences.
Beziehungsgestaltung zwischen Studierenden und betreuenden Lehrkräften im Praktikum

Published: February 2024

Bestehende Forschungen zu Schulpraktika konzentrieren sich vor allem auf die Gruppe der Studierenden. Befunde zu den Betreuungspersonen und zur Interaktion beider Gruppen fehlen bisher und stellen ein Desiderat dar. Dem folgend diskutieren in der vorliegenden Studie Studierende im Praktikum und ihre betreuenden Lehrkräfte Bedingungen einer gelingenden Beziehung und Zusammenarbeit. Diese geben auch Aufschluss darüber, welche Konzeptionen von Beziehung und welche Rollengefüge beide Seiten als förderlich für ihre Interaktion wahrnehmen. Die Stichprobe umfasst 57 Studierende und 99 Praktikumslehrkräfte aus Grund- und Mittelschulen, rekrutiert im Rahmen eines Praktikums, das sich über ein Schuljahr verteilt. Die Auswertung der 21 Gruppendiskussionen erfolgte inhaltsanalytisch. Ein zentrales alle Kategorien übergreifend charakterisierendes Ergebnis ist, dass die Gelingensbedingungen aus Sicht von Studierenden und Lehrkräften eine Auflösung tradierter Meister-Lehrlings-Modelle widerspiegeln. Sie sind an einer symmetrischen Beziehungsgestaltung orientiert und beruhen auf reziprokem Agieren und einer gemeinsamen Verantwortung aller Akteur:innen. Hierarchische Abstufungen zeigen sich dort überholt, wo Studierende ihren Mentor:innen kritisches Feedback geben dürfen und sollen bzw. wo Mentor:innen ihren eigenen Unterricht zur Diskussion stellen und bereit sind, von Studierenden zu lernen. Die kollegiale Zusammenarbeit auf Augenhöhe ist allerdings an Erwartungen der Mentor:innen hinsichtlich des Verhaltens der Studierenden gebunden. Abschließend werden Desiderate der praktischen Implementierung und der wissenschaftlichen Evaluierung diskutiert.
