Long non-coding RNA in osteogenesis
Authors: Zhang J. , Hao X. , Yin M. , Xu T. , Guo F.
Published: February 2019

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are transcripts longer than 200 nucleotides with limited coding potential, which have emerged as novel regulators in many biological and pathological processes, including growth, development, and oncogenesis. Accumulating evidence suggests that lncRNAs have a special role in the osteogenic differentiation of various types of cell, including stem cells from different sources such as embryo, bone marrow, adipose tissue and periodontal ligaments, and induced pluripotent stem cells. Involved in complex mechanisms, lncRNAs regulate osteogenic markers and key regulators and pathways in osteogenic differentiation. In this review, we provide insights into the functions and molecular mechanisms of lncRNAs in osteogenesis and highlight their emerging roles and clinical value in regenerative medicine and osteogenesis-related diseases.

Effect of Health and Training on Ultrasensitive Cardiac Troponin in Marathon Runners
Authors: Bishop Emily N , Dang Tam , Morrell Heather , Estis Joel , Bishop Jeffrey J
Published: February 2019

Purpose

Cardiac troponin (cTn) is the gold standard biomarker for assessing cardiac damage. Previous studies have demonstrated increases in plasma cTn because of extreme exercise, including marathon running. We developed an easy-to-use, ultrasensitive assay for cardiac troponin I (cTnI) by combining single-molecule counting (SMC™) technology with dried blood spot (DBS) collection techniques and validated the assay on a cohort of marathon runners by correlating postmarathon cTnI elevations with training or risk variables.

Methods

An SMC-DBS method was developed for accurate and reproducible measurement of cTnI in fingerstick whole blood. Samples were collected from 42 runners both before and immediately after running a marathon. A similar collection was obtained from 22 non-running control individuals. Pre- and postrace questionnaires containing health and training variables were correlated with cTnI concentration.

Results

The assay quantified cTnI in all controls and marathon runners, both before and after the race. Prerace concentrations were significantly higher in marathon runners vs controls (median 3.1 vs 0.4 pg/mL; P < 0.0001). Immediate postmarathon concentrations were increased in 98% of runners (median elevation, 40.5 pg/mL; P < 0.001), including many above traditional cutoffs for acute myocardial infarction. Several health and training variables trended toward significant correlation with cTnI elevations.

Conclusion

While further studies are needed to better understand the mechanisms and clinical implications of exercise-induced cTnI elevations, the present study suggests several variables that may be associated with such elevations and demonstrates a simple, cost-effective method for monitoring cTnI during exercise, managing chronic disease, and/or for assessing risk in large populations.
Recentrifugation of Lithium Heparin Gel Separator Tubes up to 8 h after Blood Collection Has No Relevant Influence on the Stability of 30 Routine Biochemical Analytes
Authors: van Balveren Jasmijn A , Gemen Eugenie F A , Kusters Ron
Published: February 2019

Background

Venipuncture for the purpose of blood analysis is often performed at remote locations, and samples may be centrifuged locally to preserve the integrity of analytes. At the central laboratory, these tubes may be centrifuged again in the routine process. However, limited research shows that >1 centrifugation cycle of gel separator tubes causes significant changes in analytes, in particular troponin I and potassium. These preanalytical test changes are undesirable and may lead to errors in diagnosis and treatment of patients.

Methods

Ten volunteers donated blood in 10 lithium heparin gel tubes. Per volunteer, 5 tubes were centrifuged with Becton Dickinson centrifugation settings and 5 tubes with our local centrifugation settings. For each centrifugation setting, 1 tube was centrifuged directly after venipuncture; the second tube, directly after venipuncture and again after 4 h; the third tube, directly after venipuncture and again after 8 h; the fourth tube, 4 h after venipuncture; the last tube, 8 h after venipuncture. Thirty routine chemistry analyses were performed in plasma directly after the last centrifugation cycle. All tubes were kept at room temperature. Analytes were considered unstable when the mean percentage deviation exceeded the total allowable error.

Results

Except for calcium, which slightly exceeded the predefined total allowable error limit, all the investigated analytes remained stable up to 8 h after a second centrifugation cycle with both centrifugation settings.

Conclusion

This study shows that recentrifugation up to 8 h after blood collection does not cause relevant deviations in test results and may be applied safely.

Authors: Dhannahisvara Aisya Jaya , Harjo Hartono , Wicaksono Pramaditya , Nugroho Ferman Setia
Published: February 2019

Spatial distribution and concentration of Total Suspended Solid (TSS) is one of the coastal parameters which are required to be examined in order to understand the quality of the water. Rapid development of remote sensing technology has resulted in the emergence of various methods to estimate TSS concentration. SPOT-6 data has spatial, spectral, and temporal characteristics that can be used to estimate TSS concentration. The purposes of this research are (1) to determine the best method for estimating TSS concentration, (2) to map TSS distribution, and (3) to determine the correlation between TSS concentration and chlorophyll-a concentration using SPOT-6 data in Segara Anakan. The estimation of TSS concentration in this research was performed using empirical model built from SPOT-6 and TSS field data. Bands used in this research are single band data (blue, green, red, and near infrared) and transformed bands such as band ratio (12 combinations), Normalized Difference Suspended Solid Index (NDSSI), and Suspended Solid Concentration Index (SSC). The result shows that blue, green, red, and near infrared bands and SSC index significantly correlated to TSS. Afterwards, regression analysis was performed to determine the function that can be used to predict TSS concentration using SPOT-6 data. Regression function used are linear and non-linear (exponential, logarithmic, 2nd order polynomial, and power). The best model was chosen based on the accuracy assessment using Standard Error of Estimate (SE). The selected model was used to calculate total TSS concentration and was correlated with chlorophyll-a field data. The result of accuracy test shows that the model from blue band has an accuracy of 70.68 %, green band 70.68 %, red band 75.73 %, near infrared band 65.58 %, and SSC 73.67 %. The accuracy test shows that red band produced the best prediction model for mapping TSS concentration distribution. The total TSS concentration, which was calculated using red band empirical model, is estimated to be 6.13 t. According to the correlation test, TSS concentration in Segara Anakan has no significant correlation with chlorophyll-a concentration, with a coefficient correlation value of -0.265.

Authors: Che Man Noordini Binti , Salihin Anis Farhan Binti
Published: February 2019

Urbanization and urban land-use transition have a competitive environment to ensure and provide good facilities for citizen benefit. The landscape patterns resulting from urbanization effect processes at local, regional, and global scales. Quantifying the spatiotemporal pattern of urbanization is important for understanding its ecological impacts and can provide basic information for appropriate decision-making. The growth of urbanization in Mukim Pengerang, Johor, has undergone rapid changes in agriculture, settlements, townships and various activities. The changes of land use take place in Mukim Pengerang due to the rapid economic development, especially in industrializations which are Refinery and Petrochemical Integrated Development (RAPID) project and Pengerang Integrated Petroleum Complex (PIPC). The industrialization boosts the growth in land property and commercial which progressing in rapid development since the year 2012, in resulting whether it can give good, bad or both impact to the human and surrounding. Therefore, the main aim of this paper is to quantify the changes in landscape pattern or land use pattern between the year 2008 and 2017 occurred in Mukim Pengerang. In monitoring the spatial pattern changes, and the changes of landscape structure, the metrics landscape were analyzed with determination of the Shanon Diversity Index (SHDI), the number of patches (NP), Edge Density (ED) and Total Edge (TE) in the period of 8 years. The results show that the changes occurred with the three types of land use showed significant changes in the types of land use which are forest, agricultural and built-up area. The result of SHDI analysis shows the increment value between the year 2008 and 2017. This situation illustrates that the higher value of SHDI for an area, resulting in the higher level of land use. This is because the growing pattern of land use is reflected by a large number of patches due to the diversification of land use activities in the area. As a result, from the metrics statistics test verifies there was a significant change in land use that took place within 8 years.
Congressional Midterm Forecasts: A Trump Economic Difference?
Authors: Tien Charles , Lewis-Beck Michael S.
Published: February 2019

Among certain politicians, pundits and people, the expectation was that President Trump would make an economic difference in the 2018 congressional elections. In particular, the belief was that his economic appeal, coupled with his economic policies, would favor Republican candidates. However, an application of the classic referendum model for forecasting congressional outcomes shows no detectable Trump economic effect. That is, the economic conditions prevailing prior to the election, measured in multiple ways, worked as usual, helping to predict the actual Republican 40 seat loss rather closely. Put another way, any incumbent administration, faced with this set of numbers, would likely have experienced the same outcome. In sum, the Trump presence, in its economic manifestations, did not positively impact the Republican party fortune at midterm time.
Affirmations for an Aging Electoral Order: The Mid-Term Elections of 2018
Authors: Shafer Byron E. , Wagner Regina L.
Published: February 2019

At bottom, the election of 2018 produced one more iteration of an electoral order dominating American politics since 1992. So the main task of this paper is to elicit the structure of that order, drop the results of 2018 into it, and see how well those results fit. The key micro-analytic tools for approaching any election did work well in 2018, but cannot distinguish this election from other recent contests. The common journalistic focus on idiosyncratic elements of stability but especially change provides no real means of analyzing either. With the result that a focus on the structure of the modern American political world has to provide the tools for unpacking what proves to be an impressively stable electoral pattern.
Cardiovascular risk estimated by UKPDS risk engine algorithm in diabetes
Authors: Kavaric Nebojsa , Klisic Aleksandra , Ninic Ana
Published: February 2019

Since there is a high prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2), as well as CVD in Montenegro, we aimed to estimate CVD risk by United Kingdom Prospective Diabetes Study (UKPDS) risk engine algorithm in individuals with DM2. Furthermore, we aimed to explore whether non-traditional biomarker such as high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) is superior for CVD risk prediction over old traditional risk factors. A total of 180 participants with DM2 (of them 50% females) were included in the current cross-sectional study. Biochemical and anthropometric parameters, and blood pressure were obtained. More males than females were classified at high UKPDS risk category (p<0.001). Also, about one third of diabetic patients (29.4%) were classified into the high-risk category. In multivariate regression analysis, triglycerides [Odds ratio (OR) =1.703, p=0.001] and creatinine concentration (OR=1.040, p<0.001) were independent predictors of CVD risk, whereas hsCRP was not correlated with CVD risk. HsCRP is not superior for CVD risk prediction by UKPDS risk engine algorithm over high triglyceride and creatinine levels in diabetic population, which suggests that the old traditional markers must not be underestimated when examining CVD risk in population with diabetes.

Link-Based Clustering Algorithm for Clustering Web Documents
Authors: Ashokkumar P. , Don S.
Published: February 2019

Clustering web documents involves the use of a large amount of words to be inputted to clustering algorithms such as K-Means, Cosine Similarity, Latent Discelet Allocation, and so on. This causes the clustering process to consume much time as the number of words in each document increases. In many web documents, web links are available along with the contents; these web link texts may contain a tremendous amount of information for clustering. In our work, we show that just using the web link text alone gives better clustering efficiency than considering the whole document text. We implemented our algorithm with two benchmark datasets, and the results show that the clustering efficiency is increased by our algorithm more than the existing methods.
Spatial Distribution of Atoms in the Field of Intersecting Standing Bichromatic Light Waves
Authors: Romanenko V. I. , Kornilovska N. V. , Udovytska O. G. , Yatsenko L. P.
Published: February 2019

We have shown that, by properly detuning the carrier frequencies in each of two perpendicularly intersecting bichromatic waves from the atomic transition frequency, it is possible to create a two-dimensional trap for atoms, if the wave intensities are sufficiently high. At the zero and near-zero values of the initial wave phases, as well as at the phase shift between the intersecting waves equal to п or close to п values, the dynamic spatial patterns of atoms consisting of square cells with the side length equal to л/√2 are formed. Numerical simulations were carried out for sodium atoms.
Reciprocal Relations for the Open Hydrodynamic Steady States (OHSS)
Authors: Lesnikov V. P.
Published: February 2019

Based on Onsager’s regressive hypothesis and a local equilibrium in hydrodynamics, the time symmetry of the mutual correlation functions of fluctuations is analyzed directly from the macroscopic equations of motion for the open steady state of a continuous medium. It is shown that, in OHSS, the flux violates the symmetry of correlation functions and Onsager’s reciprocal relation, which take place near the equilibrium steady state. The reciprocal relations for OHSS are found. Examples of their use are considered.
Peculiarities of Bacterial Chemotaxis in a Cylindrical Pore
Authors: Vasilev A. N. , Serhushev B. Y.
Published: February 2019

The process of bacterial redistribution in a cylindrical pore filled with an attractant has been considered. The attractant concentration decreases linearly along the pore, and the redistribution of bacteria occurs due to their diffusion (the motion of bacteria along the gradient of their concentration) and chemotaxis (the motion of bacteria along the gradient of attractant concentration). The influence of a spatial confinement on the bacterial distribution in the pore is analyzed. It is shown that if the pore wall is “repelling” for bacteria, the spatial confinement can change the bacterial distribution. In particular, as the pore radius decreases, the chemotaxic effect becomes weaker. The non-uniformity of a bacterial distribution in the system is estimated. The chemotaxis sensitivity function (the deviation of the ratio between the local average bacterial concentration and the average bacterial concentration over the whole system from unity) is calculated, and its dependence on the attractant concentration at the system ends and on the pore size is determined.
Qualitative Analysis of Clustering in Aqueous Alcohol Solutions. II
Authors: Chechko V. E. , Gotsulskiy V. Ya. , Diieva T. V.
Published: February 2019

Specific features of the clustering in aqueous solutions of monoatomic alcohols have been discussed. Main attention is focused on details of the clustering in water-ethanol solutions. The clustering degree is supposed to depend on the nteraction between ethanol and water molecules, as well as on the ordering degree of the H-bond network in water, which changes with the temperature and concentration of the alcohol. The elementary cluster volume is assumed to be smaller than the sum of the molecular volumes of components that form this cluster. The clustering degree in aqueous solutions of methanol and ethanol and its concentration and temperature dependences are determined.

Published: February 2019

Conditions for the production of rectifying semiconductor-insulator-semiconductor (SIS) heterostructures n-SnS2/CdTeO3/p-Cd1−xZnxTe with the use of the spray-pyrolysis of SnS2 thin films on p-Cd1−xZnxTe crystalline substrates with the formation of an intermediate tunnel-thin CdTeO3 oxide layer have been studied. By analyzing the temperature dependences of the current-voltage characteristics, the dynamics of the heterostructure energy parameters is determined, and the role of energy states at the CdTeO3/p-Cd1−xZnxTe interface in the formation of forward and reverse currents is elucidated. By analyzing the capacity-voltage characteristics, the processes of charge accumulation and inversion in SIS structures is considered. An energy diagram of the examined heterostructure, which well describes experimental electro-physical phenomena, is proposed.
Aromatic hydrocarbon receptors in the immune system: Review and hypotheses
Authors: Csaba György
Published: February 2019

Ah-receptors (AhRs) recognize and bind foreign environmental molecules as well as some target hormones of other nuclear receptors. As ligands activate transcription factors, they transmit the information on the presence of these molecules by binding to the DNA, which in turn activate xenobiotic metabolism genes. Cross talk with other nuclear receptors or some non-nuclear receptors also activates or inhibits endocrine processes. Immune cells have AhRs by which they are activated for physiological (immunity) or non-physiological (allergy and autoimmunity) processes. They can be imprinted by hormonal or pseudo-hormonal (environmental) factors, which could provoke pathological alterations for life (by faulty perinatal hormonal imprinting). The variety and amount of human-made new environmental molecules (endocrine disruptors) are enormously growing, so the importance of AhR functions is also expanding.

Modeling Short-Term and Long-Term Dependencies of the Speech Signal for Paralinguistic Emotion Classification
Authors: Verkholyak Oxana , Kaya Heysem , Karpov Alexey
Published: February 2019

Recently, Speech Emotion Recognition (SER) has become an important research topic of affective computing. It is a difficult problem, where some of the greatest challenges lie in the feature selection and representation tasks. A good feature representation should be able to reflect global trends as well as temporal structure of the signal, since emotions naturally evolve in time; it has become possible with the advent of Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN), which are actively used today for various sequence modeling tasks. This paper proposes a hybrid approach to feature representation, which combines traditionally engineered statistical features with Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) sequence representation in order to take advantage of both short-term and long-term acoustic characteristics of the signal, therefore capturing not only the general trends but also temporal structure of the signal. The evaluation of the proposed method is done on three publicly available acted emotional speech corpora in three different languages, namely RUSLANA (Russian speech), BUEMODB  (Turkish speech) and EMODB (German speech). Compared to the traditional approach, the results of our experiments show an absolute improvement of 2.3% and 2.8% for two out of three databases, and a comparative performance on the third. Therefore, provided enough training data, the proposed method proves effective in modelling emotional content of speech utterances.

Problems of Uneven Development of China in the Works of Chinese Area Studies Scholars
Authors: Makeeva Svetlana
Published: February 2019

Introduction. Based on the analysis of Chinese scholars’ works in the field of area studies, such problem as the uneven development of the territory of China has been identified. Intense social and economic transformations in China at the end of the 20th century influenced the emergence of regional problems, the solution of which was possible only through the competent regional policy of the Chinese leadership. As part of the study of regional disproportionality, Chinese researchers highlight the characteristic features inherent in each of the provinces and autonomous regions of the Northeast, North, East, Central South, South West and North West regions of China. These research are based on the study of economic agglomeration, regional division and features of regional management. Methods. On the basis of the method of logical analysis, the features of the formation of regional knowledge in China within the framework of borrowing the theoretical and methodological base of Western European and American science of the region have been determined. The use of a systematic approach in the analysis of Chinese-language scientific literature revealed one of the key problems in the field of national regional studies of China, namely the problem of uneven regional development of China. Analysis. Analysis of Chinese-language scientific literature allows the author to identify four main groups of reasons: geographical, historical, cultural, economic, underlying the disproportionate regional development of China. The author analyzes scientific articles and monographs of leading Chinese scholars published not only in China, but also in the United States. The works of Chinese authors Bao Yuan, Wang Xuanxuan, Wei Yehua, Li Zhuni, Luo Yu, Lu Zunhua, Wu Peng, Hu Zhaoliang, Zhang Wei, Chiang Lexiang contain a comprehensive analysis of the imbalance of the socioeconomic development of China’s regions. Results. Results of this paper can be summarized in the following points: the study of the causes of uneven development of the territory of China will allow to more objectively perceive the origins of modern domestic regional problems in China and identify the features of the use of the results of scientific work of Chinese scientists in the formation of regional policy to eliminate socio-economic disproportion in the development of China.
Garrison Artillery in Northwest Russia in the 1710s: Management Features
Authors: Slavnitskiy Nikolay
Published: February 2019

Introduction. The article discusses the relationship between various departments and leaders associated with the management of garrison artillery in the 1710s.

Methods. Documents preserved in the archives of the Order of Artillery allow us to understand the principles of this administration, especially in the part of supplying fortresses with guns and ammunition.

Analysis and results. The main body of documentary materials on the issue which is of interest to us is preserved in the archives of the Order of Artillery (Archive of the Military Historical Museum of Artillery, Engineers and Signal Corps). In addition, important information was found in the correspondence of the Admiralty Office (in the Russian State Archive of the Navy), as well as in the letters of Peter I (they are published). The artillery department was involved in the supply, and the reports were sent from the fortresses about how many and what tools there were in the fortresses. But in the military situation, Peter I himself often interfered in the matter, and the heads of the provinces often gave orders for the transfer of ammunition from one garrison to another. This was especially frequent in the first years of the war, since then fortresses were often used as strongholds for siege operations, and in such cases some of the guns were taken from them for those corps that carried out these sieges. Management in the years of the Northern War was very confusing and largely depended on the relationship in the command of Peter I, as well as on the nature of military operations.
Two Missions of Major Hieronymus Natalie to Istanbul: Diplomatic Contacts Between Russia and the Ottoman Empire in 1715-1718
Authors: Bazarova Tatyana
Published: February 2019

Introduction. Diplomatic contacts between Russia and the Ottoman Empire between Adrianople (1713) and Constantinople (1720) treaties are explored. For Posolsky prikaz (Ambassadorial office), the main task was to keep peaceful relations between Russia and the Ottoman Empire, which gave the possibility to the tsar to concentrate on military operations in Pomerania.

Methods. The study is based on the analysis of unpublished materials of the Posolsky prikaz and their comparison with notes of contemporaries and with other historical sources.

Analysis and results. The absence of Russian diplomatic resident in Istanbul did not promptly allow to solve the problems caused by violations of the conditions of the Adrianople treaty: border conflicts and the entry of the tsarist army into Poland. After the Treaty of Passarowitz (1718), which ended the war of the Ottoman Empire with Venice and Austria, a new danger arose for the beginning of the Russo-Turkish war. In 1715 and 1718, the Ragusin on the Russian service Hieronymus Natali was twice sent to the Sublime Porte with the charters of Peter I. Along with handing the tsar’s charters to the Grand Vizier about border conflicts, Natalie had secret assignments connected with the prevention of a military conflict with the Ottoman Empire.
Reconnaissance and Sabotage Plans of Special Agencies of Nazi Germany in Kalmykia During the Great Patriotic War
Authors: Maksimov Konstantin
Published: February 2019

Introduction. On the basis of new resources, the article examines the actions of the Nazi agencies which inculcated sabotage groups of betrayers and experienced German agents on the Ju-290 of the Luftwaffe in 1943-1944 in the Kalmyk steppe. The main purpose of the German operations was to conduct reconnaissance and sabotage actions in the rear of the red army to cause the uprising of the population of Kalmykia.

Methods and materials. Scientific, popular science publications that have appeared in recent years and documents introduced into scientific circulation cover only the general picture and fragmentary episodes of special operations of secret Luftwaffe units. The main source base of the article consists of unpublished documents identified by the author in the funds of the State Archives of the Russian Federation. These are documents about the results of the interrogations of some of the leaders of the fascist special services, certificates, reports, cases of various Soviet special services and officials addressed to the leaders of the highest party, state bodies, the NKVD of the USSR. These documents are devoted to the results of the fight against banditry in the country, with desertion, evasion of service.

Analysis and results. The Abwehr group (Otto Verba’s103 officers with the agent name - the doctor Doll) having the false information about the readiness of the rebels for uprising planned to raise a rebellion of the Kalmyk population. In this connection, the German special services planned a special operation under the code name Salzsee (‘Salt lake’). In October 1943 and May 1944 the Germans using the newest Junkers landed prepared saboteurs groups of collaborators and experienced scouts in the central part of the Kalmyk steppe. Some of the crews of aircraft and saboteurs were destroyed by the chekists, captured scouts agreed to cooperate with the SMERSH and to participate in the radio game. As a result, due to the radio game Aryans held by the Soviet intelligence, the Abwehr group intentions had completely failed. The Germans lost two new Ju-290 aircrafts with crew members and experienced scouts. During the operation Dr. Doll secretly disappeared and after the war found himself in the Eastern part of Germany.

Background.Pleuropulmonary blastoma (PPB) is a rare primary embryonal tumor of the lung in children. Three main histological variants of PPB with a possible transformation of type I into type II and III are now described. The prognosis in pleuropulmonary blastoma patients with distant metastases is considered to be unfavorable.

Case Report.The article presents the case of type I PPB development in a 14-month-old child followed by the transformation of type I PPB into type II in the setting of relapse with multiple bone metastases. The aim of the article was to provide reliable data on successful treatment and achievement of long-term event-free survival in a PPB patient with multiple bone metastases who underwent intensive chemotherapy and high-dose therapy with autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Conclusion. The case study demonstrates the possibility for achievement of long-term event-free survival in PPB patients with multiple bone metastases and relapses.
The Use of Stem Cells in the Treatment of Intervertebral Disc Degeneration
Authors: Byvaltsev V. A. , Stepanov I. A. , Bardonova L. A. , Belykh E. G.
Published: February 2019

The paper presents a review of current data on the use of stem cells in the treatment of intervertebral disc degeneration. Acute spinal pain is often a consequence of the pathology affecting the intervertebral disc. Many applied therapeutic techniques do not provide effective results as expected because most of them address symptoms, but do not treat the underlying disease. We have outlined current findings on the molecular mechanisms of intervertebral disc degeneration, analyzed international experimental studies demonstrating the feasibility of a stem cell therapy for intervertebral disc degeneration. The conducted studies reported on the clinical application of mesenchymal stem cells or stem cells derived from adipose, synovium, and bone marrow tissue. The most pressing and undetermined issues that require further experimental and clinical studies are indicated and defined in the article.
Hyperlocal Journalism and PR: Diversity in Roles and Interactions
Authors: Jangdal Lottie , Cepaite-Nilsson Asta , Stúr Elisabeth
Published: February 2019

Hyperlocal media has repeatedly been framed as a potential saviour of local journalism, but the democratic and civic role that often is ascribed to hyperlocals is not obvious or uncomplicated. The hyperlocals’ vulnerable economic situation makes them dependent on free content, for example material produced by local councils or organizations. This paper investigates the role of hyperlocal media entrepreneurs and their interaction with local councils and other stakeholders. We examine how the hyperlocal media entrepreneurs supply their communities with news in places of a media void, and how they perceive their role in their communities. Findings from this qualitative study show that the media entrepreneurs view their news production as an important part of the local community. They provide a forum for debate and information for citizens, local governments and organizations. Their service also includes a channel for local events relevant for the community. The interactions with the local governments vary, as well as the hyperlocal entrepreneurs’ evaluation of how the information provided by the councils can or should be handled. The relation between hyperlocal media entrepreneurs and local governments is a complex process, including both interrelated and contradictory goals.
Comunicação Política e ONG: o lugar do Jornalismo
Authors: Neto Pedro Pereira , Lamy Cláudia
Published: February 2019

O Jornalismo constitui, como sabemos, um fenómeno social cujas características decorrem da sociedade em que se inscreve. Por outro lado, os media não apenas constituem o meio através do qual a maioria dos cidadãos estabelece contacto com a realidade não fisicamente experienciável mas foi também capacitada por ela que se desenvolveu uma opinião pública informada. Conhece-lo implica, necessariamente, correlacioná-lo com o sistema social em que está inserido, incluindo a paisagem económico-política em que se encontra.
Uma dimensão essencial na valorização da classe profissional prende-se com a sua literacia profissional ou, no caso específico deste trabalho, literacia ambiental, fruto de um processo de educação da atenção, atributos constitutivos das relações estabelecidas num determinado contexto.

A Sampling Approach for Proactive Project Scheduling under Generalized Time-dependent Workability Uncertainty
Authors: Song Wen , Kang Donghun , Zhang Jie , Cao Zhiguang , Xi Hui
Published: February 2019

In real-world project scheduling applications, activity durations are often uncertain. Proactive scheduling can effectively cope with the duration uncertainties, by generating robust baseline solutions according to a priori stochastic knowledge. However, most of the existing proactive approaches assume that the duration uncertainty of an activity is not related to its scheduled start time, which may not hold in many real-world scenarios. In this paper, we relax this assumption by allowing the duration uncertainty to be time-dependent, which is caused by the uncertainty of whether the activity can be executed on each time slot. We propose a stochastic optimization model to find an optimal Partial-order Schedule (POS) that minimizes the expected makespan. This model can cover both the time-dependent uncertainty studied in this paper and the traditional time-independent duration uncertainty. To circumvent the underlying complexity in evaluating a given solution, we approximate the stochastic optimization model based on Sample Average Approximation (SAA). Finally, we design two efficient branch-and-bound algorithms to solve the NP-hard SAA problem. Empirical evaluation confirms that our approach can generate high-quality proactive solutions for a variety of uncertainty distributions.
Revisiting CFR+ and Alternating Updates
Authors: Burch Neil , Moravcik Matej , Schmid Martin
Published: February 2019

The CFR+ algorithm for solving imperfect information games is a variant of the popular CFR algorithm, with faster empirical performance on a range of problems. It was introduced with a theoretical upper bound on solution error, but subsequent work showed an error in one step of the proof. We provide updated proofs to recover the original bound.
