The Analysis of Translation of Live Metaphors in Japanese Novel Haru No Yuki
Authors: Desa Melati
Published: December 2020

ABSTRACT   : Language and culture influences each other and its effect is reflected in not only the way humans think, but could also be seen in a full load of figurative elements in creative writing, such as metaphors. Thus, the report examines the aspects of the transfer of meaning in the live metaphors in Haru No Yuki, literary Japanese texts written by Yukio Mishima (1925 – 1970) translated to Malay by Muhammad Haji Salleh (1993) as Salju Musim Bunga published by Penataran Ilmu. This report studies on the equivalence of the meaning of translated live metaphors from the source text to the target text. From the study of the equivalence of meaning can be evaluated that, if there is any type of losses of meaning in form of under translation, over translation or wrong translation. The retention of live metaphors in the target text produced an ideal translation. Universal live metaphors maintained by the translator, this approach produced an ideal translation in form of meaning and accepted by the culture and speakers of the target language. The conclusion of this report shows that, one of the factors in producing quality translations is to understand the elements of the original cultural metaphors contained in the source text.

Keywords: live metaphor, personification, ideal translation, equivalence of meaning

ABSTRAK         : Bahasa dan budaya saling mempengaruhi dan kesannya dapat dilihat bukan sahaja dalam cara manusia berpikir malah dalam penulisan kreatif yang memuatkan unsur figuratif, metafora misalnya. Justeru, kajian ini meneliti aspek pemindahan makna dalam terjemahan metafora hidup dan personifikasi yang terdapat dalam teks kesusasteraan Jepun, Haru No Yuki hasil penulisan Yukio Mishima (1925 – 1970) diterjemahkan oleh Muhammad Haji Salleh (1993) menjadi Salju Musim Bunga (SMB) terbitan Penataran Ilmu. Kertas kerja ini mengkaji keselarasan makna terjemahan metafora hidup dan personifikasi daripada teks sumber kepada teks sasaran. Daripada kajian keselarasan makna dapat dinilai sama ada berlaku peleburan makna metafora apabila terhasilnya terjemahan kurang, terjemahan lebih atau terjemahan salah. Kaedah pengekalan metafora hidup dalam teks sasaran didapati menghasilkan terjemahan ideal. Metafora hidup yang bersifat universal dikekalkan oleh penterjemah, pendekatan ini menghasilkan terjemahan ideal dari sudut makna dan diterima oleh budaya dan penutur bahasa sasaran. Sebagai kesimpulan, kajian ini menunjukkan bahawa, salah satu faktor dalam usaha untuk menghasilkan terjemahan bermutu adalah dengan memahami unsur metafora budaya asal teks sumber.

Con el objetivo de establecer las posibilidades de abordar su historia mediante material fílmico, un primer acercamiento a acervos de la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires exhibe un contexto fragmentario en diversos planos: dispersión archivística, desordenada información sobre la procedencia y problemas de conservación. Para ello se construye una metodología a través de la disciplina archivística para estudiar material del “Centro de Documentación Histórica y Museo de la Educación Física y el Deporte”, una institución especializada con más de 200 películas en distintos formatos.
Magistratura y capitalismo: elementos para una crítica
Authors: Magalhães Juliana Paula
Published: December 2020

El alcance de nuestro artículo es abordar la superposición entre el poder judicial y el capitalismo, a través de un análisis de las formas sociales y la ideología que caracterizan este modo de producción. A diferencia de los puntos de vista tradicionales, buscamos demostrar, con base en autores que se basan en una perspectiva crítica, la peculiaridad del poder judicial en el contexto de la sociedad capitalista, cuya especificidad no nos permite establecer puntos de contacto con las funciones judiciales presentes en los tiempos históricos pasados, pre-capitalista de carácter. Incluso abordaremos la originalidad de la forma procesal legal de nuestro tiempo, como resultado de la derivación secundaria entre la forma legal y la forma política estatal, que, a su vez, surgieron directamente de la forma mercantil. También abordaremos, aunque sea brevemente, los enfrentamientos en torno al tema del activismo judicial en Brasil. La base teórica de nuestro estudio radica, eminentemente, en la lectura marxista de la sociedad y el fenómeno legal.
Politik Spasial dalam Lirik Lagu Bengawan Solo Karya Gesang dan Di Tepinya Sungai Serayu Karya Soetedja: Analisis Pascakolonial Sara Upstone
Authors: Sulistyo Hary
Published: December 2020

Tulisan ini membahas politik spasial Gesang dan Soetedja dalam lirik lagu “Bengawan Solo” dan “Di Tepinya Sungai Serayu”. Persoalan tersebut menarik dikemukakan karena menghadirkan konsepsi baru melalui redefinisi atas kedua objek. Tujuan penulisan ini adalah menunjukkan bentuk-bentuk place, space, dan postspace kedua lagu terhadap objek yang telah menghadirkan definisi baru atas pengetahuan. Teori yang digunakan adalah pascakolonial Sara Upstone mengenai place, space, dan postspace. Metode penelitian ini adalah mengamati aspek tekstual di dalam teks dan mengorelasikannya dengan persoalan kontekstual berdasarkan aspek-aspek teoretis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa politik spasial melalui kedua lirik lagu menghadirkan kebaruan informasi mengenai objek yang berbeda dengan realitas kedua sungai sebagai bentuk place. Jejak-jejak space yang ditinggalkan oleh kedua pengarang menunjukkan bahwa penciptaan lagu lebih pada kepentingan estetis dan romantik. Postspace yang dihasilkan dengan kehadiran lagu itu memberikan legitimasi atas konsepsi administratif dalam penyebutan asal sumber mata air Bengawan Solo dan hilangnya sisi mistisme yang terdapat di Sungai Serayu.Kata kunci: politik spasial; Bengawan Solo; Sungai Serayu[Spatial Politic in The Song Lyrics of “Bengawan Solo” and “Di Tepinya Sungai Serayu” : Sara Upstone’s Postcolonial Analysis] This paper discusses Gesang and Soetedja’s spatial politics in the song lyrics of “Bengawan Solo” and “Di Tepinya Sungai Serayu”. The issue is interesting to be raised because it presents a new conception through redefinition of the two objects. The purpose of this paper is to show forms of place, space, and postspace in both songs toward the object that have presented a new definition of knowledge. The theory used is Sara Upstone’s post-colonialism about place, space, and postspace. The method in this study is to observe textual aspects in the text and correlate them with contextual issues based on theoretical aspects. The results show that spatial politics through both song lyrics presents new information about objects that are different from the reality of the two rivers as a form of place. The traces of space left by the two authors through their songs show the creation of songs more in the interests of aesthetic and romantic aspects. The postspace produced by the presence of the two songs gives legitimacy to the administrative conception in the mention of the origin of the Bengawan Solo spring and the loss of the mysticism found in the Serayu River.

Published: December 2020

Ganglioneuroma (GN) represents a mature, well-differentiated tumor arising from the sympathetic nervous system. Mostly developing de novo, GN can appear during the treatment course of poorly differentiated or undifferentiated tumors of the sympathetic nervous system, such as neuroblastoma, or as a result of their spontaneous maturation. In this article we report three clinical cases of spontaneous and induced maturation of neuroblastoma (primary tumor and metastatic lesion) to GN. Histological verification of long-lasting stable or progressing residual tumor mases in patients with neuroblastoma stratified to the observation group plays a pivotal role as it may significantly affect the treatment course. The patients' parents gave their consent to the use of their child's data, including photographs, for research purposes and in publications.

Authors: Strumila N. A. , Krasnov A. S. , Andrianov M. M. , Teresсhenko G. V.
Published: December 2020

Embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma (eRMS) is one of the most common soft tissue sarcomas in children, accounting for 4.5% of all childhood tumors. Half of the eRMS occuring in the head and neck are parameningeal. About 40% of patients with eRMS can develop distant metastases. In patients with intracranial tumors, metastatic spread can occur along the central nervous system (CNS) meninges. The literature describes only 4 clinical cases of eRMS with distant metastases in the spinal cord and along the meninges. Only in two out of these four cases, CSF cytology was positive (meaning that tumor cells were detected in cerebrospinal fluid). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the central nervous system with contrast enhancement can be used to detect distant metastases in the CNS and meninges. We present a clinical case of a 4-year old girl with parameningeal eRMS. MRI of the CNS performed as part of a diagnostic check-up revealed nodal metastatic foci along the meninges of the spinal cord. In accordance with the treatment protocol, the patient was diagnosed with stage 4 disease and received intensive polychemotherapy resulting in the disappearance of the nodal lesions in the spinal cord and a good prognosis. The parents gave their consent to the use of their child's data, including photographs, for research purposes and in publications.
Erythrocyte as an ideal carrier for intavascular drug delivery
Authors: Koleva L. D. , Ataullakhanov F. I. , Sinauridze E. I.
Published: December 2020

Drug delivery using natural biological carriers, especially erythrocytes, is a rapidly developing field. Erythrocytes can act as carriers with the gradual release of a pharmacological agent, as bioreactors with encapsulated enzymes, or as a tool for targeted delivery of drugs to target organs especially tissue macrophages, liver and spleen. To date, red blood cells have been studied as carriers for a wide range of drug compounds, such as enzymes, antibiotics, anti-inflammatory, antiviral drugs, etc. The review is devoted to the advantages of erythrocytes as carriers for the delivery of drugs loaded into the erythrocyte, or related to its surface, and defines the main directions of research on erythrocytes carriers of biologically active substances. Particular attention is paid to in vivo studies that reveal the potential of carrier erythrocytes for clinical use.

The current study investigated the effects of stocking density (SD) on the performance, tibia mineralization, and the hypothalamic appetite genes expression in broilers. A total of 2,800 1-d-old male broilers (Cobb 500) were distributed in a completely randomized design to 1 of 5 SD treatments with 8 replicate cages for each treatment. The SD treatments were 12.5, 15.0, 17.5, 20.0, and 22.5 birds/m2, corresponding to 50, 60, 70, 80, and 90 birds per cage (4 m2/cage), respectively. The concentration of tibia phosphorus was determined by the ammonium metavanadate colorimetric method and the mRNA abundance in different tissues was measured by the real-time quantitative PCR method. The data were analyzed by the one-way and/or two-way analysis of variance and polynomial contrasts were used to determine the effect of increasing SD. Feed intake linearly decreased (P < 0.05) with increasing SD during d 1-42 production period. On d 42, body weight and tibia breaking strength were significantly lower in the groups of 17.5, 20.0 and 22.5 birds/m2 than in the groups of 12.5 and 15 birds/m2 (P < 0.01). Concentrations of ash and phosphorus in the tibia of broilers linearly decreased (P < 0.03) with increasing SD on d 42. The SD of 22.5 birds/m2 decreased the mRNA abundance of neuropeptide Y (NPY), NPY-receptor (NPYR) 1, and NPYR2 (P < 0.05), while it increased melanocortin receptor 4 mRNA abundance (P = 0.012) in the hypothalamus of broilers as compared with the SD of 12.5 birds/m2 on d 21 and 42. The mRNA abundance of hypothalamic cocaine and amphetamine-regulated transcript (CART), corticotrophin-releasing factor (CRF), and CRF-receptor 1 (CRFR1) were higher (P < 0.05) in the group of 22.5 birds/m2 than in the group of 12.5 birds/m2 on d 21. We concluded that increasing stocking density beyond 15 birds/m2 (corresponding to the 45 kg/m2 at 42 days of age) suppressed final BW and bone mineralization of broilers raised in multitier cage system. Hypothalamic NPY and CRF signaling might be involved in the anorexigenic effect of HSD.

Authors: Iordache Mihai
Published: December 2020

The article highlights the importance of the systems on board the NATO E-3A platform and how they influence the mission and work of the aircrew. The E-3A is an Airborne Early Warning & Control (AEW&C) system designed to provide early warning information to battle managers through surveillance of airborne and maritime objects, and to provide aircraft control capabilities. Even though the system is integrated on the old airframe of Boeing 707, in the past 35 years there have been numerous upgrades. The biggest upgrade of them all is the conversion of the entire fleet of aircraft to the NATO Mid-Term (NMT) configuration and then to “glass cockpit”. Now, the fleet is embarking upon a final modernization effort to extend its service life to 2035.

Authors: Meçe Elinda Kajo , Sheme Enida , Trandafili Evis , Juiz Carlos , Gómez Beatriz , Colomo-Palacios Ricardo
Published: December 2020

Background

Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) are aware of the immense importance of achieving their strategic objectives to increase their impact on the society and to be competitive. As a board responsibility, information technology governance (ITG) plays an important role in the overall HEIs performance. Numerous HEIs are making great efforts to properly govern information technology (IT) by using ITG frameworks.

Objectives

This study investigates the overall adoption of ITG frameworks in different HEIs through a systematic mapping review.

Method

We analyzed forty relevant papers, filtered from 6 selected online libraries, and answered six research questions on ITG implementations at universities worldwide.

Results

The results show an increasing number of publications on ITG usage in HEIs in the last decade. The largest number of applications is described in Asian countries, while the most popular used frameworks are COBIT, ISO versions, and in-house developed frameworks. Finally, we describe the top challenges and benefits of ITG implementation mentioned in research papers.

Conclusion

This paper provides a deep insight into the level of integration of ITG in universities worldwide. The results will be presented to the involved stakeholders at our university to increase the awareness of ITG in HEIs and help its implementation process.
IoT and Smart Home Data Breach Risks from the Perspective of Data Protection and Information Security Law
Authors: Vojković Goran , Milenković Melita , Katulić Tihomir
Published: December 2020

Background

IoT and smart devices have become extremely popular in the last few years. With their capabilities to collect data, it is reasonable to have concerns about the protection of users’ personal information and privacy in general.

Objectives

Comparing existing regulations on data protection and information security rules with the new capabilities provided by IoT and smart devices.

Methods/approach

This paper will analyse information on data collected by IoT and smart devices and the corresponding legal framework to explore whether the legal framework also covers these new devices and their functionalities.

Results

Various IoT and smart devices pose a high risk to an individual's privacy. The General Data Protection Regulation, although a relatively recent law, may not adequately regulate all instances and uses of this technology. Also, due to inadequate technological protection, abuse of such devices by unauthorized persons is possible and even likely.

Conclusions

The number of IoT and smart devices is rapidly increasing. The number of IoT and smart home device security incidents is on the rise. The regulatory framework to ensure data controller and processor compliance needs to be improved in order to create a safer environment for new innovative IoT services and products without jeopardizing the rights and freedoms of data subjects. Also, it is important to increase awareness of homeowners about potential security threats when using IoT and smart devices and services.

Authors: Zorica Barbara , Keč Vanja Čikeš , Vuletin Vedran , Mihanović Marin
Published: December 2020

Pelagic fisheries in the area of the eastern part of the Adriatic Sea, more precisely in the Croatian fishing grounds, are one of the most important types of fisheries in Croatia. In this paper, the quantitative and qualitative structure of catches obtained by the „ciplara“ purse seine in the Croatian part of the Adriatic Sea was analysed between 2013 and 2018. According to the data collected, the largest catches by this fishing gear were made in the coastal area, precisely in the fishing zones/sub-zones A/A4, E/E2, F/F2, C/C4 and G/G1. 70% of the catches consisted of targeted species, which indicates that the studied „ciplara“ purse seine is a selective fishing gear. Biological analyses are given for four target species.
Anthropogenic Impact on Plankton and Benthos Assemblage in the Lagos Lagoon, Nigeria
Authors: Ugwumba Adiaha Alda Alex , Esenowo Imeh Kokoete
Published: December 2020

The physico-chemical parameters, plankton and macro-benthic invertebrates of the Lagos Lagoon (Badore, Ajah), Lagos State, Nigeria were studied between February and July 2018 at four sampling stations in a disparate range of human activities and impact. The result of phytoplankton analysis indicated a total of 56 genera with 40 genera within Bacillariophyta, accounting for 72% of the abundance. Zooplankton comprised 26 genera with 82% of the abundance of crustacea. The benthic macroinvertebrates were composed of mollusca, arthropoda and annelida. Results also indicated that the main drivers affecting the abundance and distribution of planktonic and benthic invertebrates were water temperature, pH, TDS and EC. The monthly variations of physico-chemical parameters in the Lagoon could be the result of human activities associated with transportation, fishing and domestic sewage disposal from the surrounding settlements. Therefore, it is necessary that relevant authorities keep in check some of these activities around the Lagoon as well as educate the population on the necessity for the conservation of these water resources.
Fast, Not Furious - Adaptation of the Species List and Fish Size Classes for Fish Assemblage Survey Technique (FAST) for the Adriatic Sea
Authors: Čižmek Ivana Zubak , Stipić Sanja , Čižmek Hrvoje , Mokos Melita
Published: December 2020

Marine Protected Areas and other managed marine sites are designated to improve the status of coastal fish assemblages and protect valuable habitats. The implementation of management practices relies on data collected through monitoring activities. The monitoring of fish assemblages using the standard non-destructive methods requires significant financial resources and time. A new approach to monitoring fish assemblages in the coastal waters was recently implemented in the Mediterranean – Fish Assemblage Survey Technique (FAST). It is based on Citizen Science where trained volunteer divers collect the data following a pre-established protocol. Considering the differences in species presence/absence and their sizes between the Mediterranean and the Adriatic Sea, a modification of the method was necessary. This study presents 23 main fish species and four ‘joker’ species selected for the Croatian FAST list and their respective sizes that will be considered Large (>2/3 of the total size) for implementing the method in the Croatian part of the Adriatic Sea.
Spatial dispersion and the concentration of buildings in an urban agglomeration – a typology proposal for the Warsaw Metropolitan Area
Authors: Sudra Paweł
Published: December 2020

The purpose of this study was to determine the state of dispersion and concentration of buildings in the Warsaw urban agglomeration. In particular, a goal was defined to develop a typology of basic administrative units due to the level and characteristics of the spatial concentration of buildings. The study was conducted based on the municipalities (urban, urban-rural and rural) of the Warsaw Metropolitan Area (delimitation of the Warsaw urban agglomeration used for the strategic and planning purposes) and districts of the capital city of Poland. Data on buildings was obtained from the topographic objects database. The share of buildings in total, as well as single-family and multi-family housing objects, was taken into account (these two categories were assumed to be the main determinants of suburbanization). Two methods were used to analyze their distribution: the density quotient factor, and the average nearest neighbour method. The spatial arrangement of buildings covers a wide spectrum of types, determined by combinations of both extreme and intermediate values of two dimensions of spatial concentration – the density of objects and the degree of their spatial dispersion (level of regularity, randomization, or clustering in their distribution). The typology allows us to indicate units for which similarly oriented spatial policy should be applied. The method of construction of the developed typology may be useful for application to research in other areas.
Educators’ Digital Competence in Swedish Rural Schools
Authors: Pettersson Gerd , Näsström Gunilla
Published: December 2020

This article presents a survey census study performed in a small, remotely located municipality with four rural schools in the north of Sweden. The study is part of a larger project, Remote Consulting in special needs education between special educators and class teachers, the aim of which is to increase the equivalence between the municipality’s schools by giving more class teachers improved access to special needs education (SNE) consultations provided by special educators via remote consulting.

Prior to the start of the project, a questionnaire was sent out to all the class teachers in the participating schools. All the teachers approached answered the questionnaire. One of the aims of the survey was to gain increased knowledge about the teachers’ self-efficacy in their use of ICT. The most intriguing result was that three of the five 50-59 year-old teachers estimated their knowledge about ICT to be above average compared to that of their colleagues. A similar pattern was identified in the teachers’ use of ICT in their teaching. Of those who used ICT every day, three were 30-39 years old, three were 50-59 years old and one was 40-49 years old, while all of those who used ICT less than once a week were younger than 39. The results of the study indicate that the teachers in this study are adequately equipped to proceed from physical counselling to remote consulting in special needs education.
Karl Bühler’s Fantasmatic Deixis Between Motion, Gestures, and Words
Authors: De Vita Chiara
Published: December 2020

What is the “fantasmatic deixis”? It is a very creative and productive cognitive–linguistic operation that allows a “transfer” to other real or fantastic times, places, and “worlds”. The underlying psychological question concerns the possibility of moving and being moved with respect to something or someone who is absent (Bühler, 1965). This “fiction game” is made possible by deictic indicators (Tenchini, 2008), terms that allow motion in time and space, always considering the here–now–I system of subjective orientation. When we refer to something that can be gathered by hearing or by sight, by terms such as here, there, I, and you, the receiver can easily use natural, prelinguistic aids (e.g., gestures, voice quality, facial expressions, and body orientation) to understand what the issuer intends to communicate to him (demonstratio ad oculos). But what happens when we move from the study of “immediate” behavior to that of “mediate” behavior, i.e., the field of memories (retrospection) or the constructive fantasy (prospecting)? The fantasmatic deixis implies enfranchisement from the physical position of the body and requires the assumption of the listener’s current tactile body image. Thus, the receiver assumes an inner attitude to correctly interpret the indications given by the speaker, seeing and hearing through the “inner” or “mental” eye and ear (Raynaud, 2006). In this way, the listener can bring something absent in his/her here, now, and I or feel moved to the point where the speaker leads him/her. My paper will focus on the features and types of fantasmatic deixis, providing some examples and showing how this operation involves language, motion, and cognitive processes.
Using Network Embedding to Obtain a Richer and More Stable Network Layout for a Large Scale Bibliometric Network
Authors: Chen Ting , Li Guopeng , Deng Qiping , Wang Xiaomei
Published: December 2020

Purpose

The goal of this study is to explore whether deep learning based embedded models can provide a better visualization solution for large citation networks.

Design/methodology/approach

Our team compared the visualization approach borrowed from the deep learning community with the well-known bibliometric network visualization for large scale data. 47,294 highly cited papers were visualized by using three network embedding models plus the t-SNE dimensionality reduction technique. Besides, three base maps were created with the same dataset for evaluation purposes. All base maps used the classic OpenOrd method with different edge cutting strategies and parameters.

Findings

The network embedded maps with t-SNE preserve a very similar global structure to the full edges classic force-directed map, while the maps vary in local structure. Among them, the Node2Vec model has the best overall visualization performance, the local structure has been significantly improved and the maps’ layout has very high stability.

Research limitations

The computational and time costs of training are very high for network embedded models to obtain high dimensional latent vector. Only one dimensionality reduction technique was tested.

Practical implications

This paper demonstrates that the network embedding models are able to accurately reconstruct the large bibliometric network in the vector space. In the future, apart from network visualization, many classical vector-based machine learning algorithms can be applied to network representations for solving bibliometric analysis tasks.

Originality/value

This paper provides the first systematic comparison of classical science mapping visualization with network embedding based visualization on a large scale dataset. We showed deep learning based network embedding model with t-SNE can provide a richer, more stable science map. We also designed a practical evaluation method to investigate and compare maps.
Evaluation of the effect of surgical and immunological castration of male pigs on boar taint compounds in oral fluid and fat tissue by LC-MS/MS method
Authors: Woźniak Barbara , Cybulski Piotr , Jabłoński Artur , Witek Sebastian , Matraszek-Żuchowska Iwona
Published: December 2020

Introduction

An effective way of preventing undesirable boar taint in pork meat caused by the presence of androstenone, skatole and indole is surgical castration of piglets. This, however, arouses growing social opposition. An alternative method of inhibiting the development of unpleasant odour is immune castration. The aim of the study was to compare the effectiveness of both methods of castration for the elimination of the compounds responsible and to assess the suitability of oral fluid for pre-slaughter predictive testing for boar taint.

Material and Methods

The research material was pooled oral fluid and fat samples taken from gilts and surgically and immunologically castrated piglets. The samples were tested with a liquid chromatography– tandem mass spectrometry method developed in this research.

Results

The compounds giving rise to boar taint were found only sporadically above the accepted limits; only one sample of oral fluid contained skatole at a concentration above 200 μg L−1 and one contained indole more concentrated than 100 μg L−1. Indole above the limit value was also detected in one fat sample. In none of the tested samples was androstenone found.

Conclusion

The results indicate the similar effectiveness of both methods of piglet castration on the reduction of compounds generating boar taint. The usefulness of testing oral fluid for the ante-mortem prediction of boar taint has not been fully confirmed and further investigation is needed.
A new conjugate gradient method for acceleration of gradient descent algorithms

Published: December 2020

An accelerated of the steepest descent method for solving unconstrained optimization problems is presented. which propose a fundamentally different conjugate gradient method, in which the well-known parameter βk
is computed by an new formula. Under common assumptions, by using a modified Wolfe line search, descent property and global convergence results were established for the new method. Experimental results provide evidence that our proposed method is in general superior to the classical steepest descent method and has a potential to significantly enhance the computational efficiency and robustness of the training process.
Independence despite Political Appointment ? The Curious Case of the Austrian Ombudsman Board
Authors: Dahlvik Julia , Pohn-Weidinger Axel , Kollegger Martina
Published: December 2020

This paper addresses the politicization of public institutions through the case of national ombudspersons. While there is an established literature on the politicization of top public officials, we lack research on the politicization and / or de-facto independence of supreme or supervisory bodies, including ombuds institutions. In this paper, we combine the insights of three bodies of literature in order to build a framework for the empirical study of national ombuds institutions: Literature (1) on the independence of public institutions, in particular ombuds and regulatory agencies, (2) on politicization and party patronage in state institutions, and (3) on career patterns and selection criteria of top public officials and the administrative elite. We then discuss these issues on the basis of an empirical field study of the Austrian om-buds institution: First, drawing on a socio-demographic analysis of ombudspersons we identify common features of their profiles and career paths. We find that overall the ombudspersons represent a relatively homogenous group, but the political party represents an explanatory variable for some of the ombudspersons’ characteristics. The second set of empirical results, drawing primarily on qualitative interviews with case-handling staff, demonstrates that despite the institution’s public efforts and many interviewees’ reassurances that the AOB is independent and acts as such, there are several areas in which party-related positions become visible in the AOB’s work. These results are integrated into a typology on the effects of political appointment modes of ombudspersons, which should enable further research in this field.

Published: December 2020

Over the last decades, the European Hamster (Cricetus cricetus) has been declining in many parts of its European range. Due to the lack of recent information on the occurrence and status of the European Hamster in the south-western Carpathian Basin west of the Danube, we used information gathered from prey remains in Common Barn-owl (Tyto alba) pellets. In spite of considerable sampling effort, we retrieved only few hamster remnants. Two skulls were found in Podolje (Croatia) in 2007 and 2016, respectively. Further five hamsters were retrieved from pellets collected in 2017, 11 km to the northwest in Udvar (Hungary). In Sátorhely, 5 km north from Udvar, one roadkill male was found on 27.07.2019. Testimonies from local inhabitants confirmed the current presence of the European Hamster in the area. Our results suggest the presence of a small isolated population in the border area of Croatia (UTM 10 km grid square CR27) and Hungary (CR18, CR19). This small isolated population is on the south-western limit of the range of the species. We presume that the population requires conservation attention because of its isolated position at the edge of the species’ range, its small size and low abundance. We call for a transboundary action by nature conservation authorities in Croatia and Hungary.

Published: December 2020

Remote and automatic monitoring of two Apis Cerana bee colonies was conducted in Indonesia to demonstrate precision beekeeping approach in that region. Successful implementation of the precision beekeeping system includes development of the bee colony monitoring hardware and software for data collection, analysis and visualisation. This paper focuses on development and installation of such systems at the private apiary in Indonesia. For bee colony monitoring at the apiary a developed monitoring unit was used, which is based on ESP microchip, and for the data storage SAMS data warehouse was used. The monitoring results showed that the choice of the location of the temperature sensor is important, as the temperature at the hive sides changes synchronously with the outside temperature. Also, feedback from the beekeeper is collected to further improve the system and monitoring process. This research is conducted within the SAMS – Smart Apiculture Management Services project, which is funded by the European Union within the H2020-ICT-39-2016-2017 call and with close collaboration with the local private beekeeper.

Unveiling Web Fingerprinting in the Wild Via Code Mining and Machine Learning
Authors: Rizzo Valentino , Traverso Stefano , Mellia Marco
Published: December 2020

Fueled by advertising companies’ need of accurately tracking users and their online habits, web fingerprinting practice has grown in recent years, with severe implications for users’ privacy. In this paper, we design, engineer and evaluate a methodology which combines the analysis of JavaScript code and machine learning for the automatic detection of web fingerprinters.

We apply our methodology on a dataset of more than 400, 000 JavaScript files accessed by about 1, 000 volunteers during a one-month long experiment to observe adoption of fingerprinting in a real scenario. We compare approaches based on both static and dynamic code analysis to automatically detect fingerprinters and show they provide different angles complementing each other. This demonstrates that studies based on either static or dynamic code analysis provide partial view on actual fingerprinting usage in the web. To the best of our knowledge we are the first to perform this comparison with respect to fingerprinting.

Our approach achieves 94% accuracy in small decision time. With this we spot more than 840 fingerprinting services, of which 695 are unknown to popular tracker blockers. These include new actual trackers as well as services which use fingerprinting for purposes other than tracking, such as anti-fraud and bot recognition.
Secure training of decision trees with continuous attributes
Authors: Abspoel Mark , Escudero Daniel , Volgushev Nikolaj
Published: December 2020

We apply multiparty computation (MPC) techniques to show, given a database that is secret-shared among multiple mutually distrustful parties, how the parties may obliviously construct a decision tree based on the secret data. We consider data with continuous attributes (i.e., coming from a large domain), and develop a secure version of a learning algorithm similar to the C4.5 or CART algorithms. Previous MPC-based work only focused on decision tree learning with discrete attributes (De Hoogh et al. 2014). Our starting point is to apply an existing generic MPC protocol to a standard decision tree learning algorithm, which we then optimize in several ways. We exploit the fact that even if we allow the data to have continuous values, which a priori might require fixed or floating point representations, the output of the tree learning algorithm only depends on the relative ordering of the data. By obliviously sorting the data we reduce the number of comparisons needed per node to O(N log2
N) from the naive O(N
2), where N is the number of training records in the dataset, thus making the algorithm feasible for larger datasets. This does however introduce a problem when duplicate values occur in the dataset, but we manage to overcome this problem with a relatively cheap subprotocol. We show a procedure to convert a sorting network into a permutation network of smaller complexity, resulting in a round complexity of O(log N) per layer in the tree. We implement our algorithm in the MP-SPDZ framework and benchmark our implementation for both passive and active three-party computation using arithmetic modulo 264. We apply our implementation to a large scale medical dataset of ≈ 290 000 rows using random forests, and thus demonstrate practical feasibility of using MPC for privacy-preserving machine learning based on decision trees for large datasets.
The Implications of Using Stereotypes
Authors: Man Gabriela-Maria
Published: December 2020

The term stereotype was first used around a century ago, but its meaning and implications are relevant today due to an increase in group diversity and interactions. Stereotypes are simplistic and generalized beliefs about group members that can have negative consequences. This article reviews some of the evidence relating to two of the most common implications of stereotypes; discrimination and changes in cognitive and physical performance related with stereotype threat. The findings from this article may be helpful for human resource (HR) specialists, professors, health related specialists and those engaged in evaluation activities.

Adult cells are believed to maintain their differentiated status under stable homeostatic conditions, while cellular identity can become plastic when homeostasis is perturbed such as during an injury and inflammation [1]. Indeed, it is now evident that cell identity is more flexible and plastic than previously thought
The Machines Aren’t Taking Over (Yet): An Empirical Comparison of Traditional, Profiling, and Machine Learning Approaches to Criterion-Related Validation
Authors: Allen Kristin , Affourtit Mathijs , Reddock Craig
Published: December 2020

Criterion-related validation (CRV) studies are used to demonstrate the effectiveness of selection procedures. However, traditional CRV studies require significant investment of time and resources, as well as large sample sizes, which often create practical challenges. New techniques, which use machine learning to develop classification models from limited amounts of data, have emerged as a more efficient alternative. This study empirically investigates the effectiveness of traditional CRV with a variety of profiling approaches and machine learning techniques using repeated cross-validation. Results show that the traditional approach generally performs best both in terms of predicting performance and larger group differences between candidates identified as top or non-top performers. In addition to empirical effectiveness, other practical implications are discussed.

Escenografías para el pensamiento
Authors: Pérez Pezoa Diego
Published: December 2020

El siguiente artículo tiene como propósito visualizar y reflexionar en torno a la noción de espacio en la obra de Peter Sloterdijk. En la obra de Sloterdijk se teje una revalorización postmetafísica del espacio, lo que implica una serie de reconsideraciones y cambios de ruta en el debate contemporáneo de la filosofía. Aunque, las consecuencias del debate se trasladan, ineludiblemente, hacia aquellas tradiciones dicotómicas del pensamiento que estudian el espacio siguiendo el esfuerzo metafísico extrapolado entre sujeto y objeto. Inicialmente, daremos a conocer un breve recorrido histórico de la noción de espacio en la filosofía moderna, para, posteriormente, relatar la recepción de la categoría espacial en el pensamiento estético y político del autor: una ontotopología, en Sloterdijk, acompaña el proyecto esferológico. Y, para así, finalmente, diagramar un vector de lectura para un futuro de la filosofía enfocada, ahora, en reflexionar sobre los diversos modos culturales y materiales que permiten el pensar filosófico en un mundo global.
Revisión sistemática de cuarenta años de análisis de cambio de uso del suelo en México mediante sistemas de información geográfica
Authors: De Alba Rosano Catalina Fabiola , Ceccon Eliane , Romero-Calcerrada Raúl , Rosete-Vergés Fernando
Published: December 2020

México perdió grandes áreas de sus ecosistemas en las últimas décadas. Buena parte están en manos de comunidades rurales, y sus cambios de uso del suelo afectan la biodiversidad, y reducen muchos servicios ecosistémicos vitales. En las últimas cuatro décadas estos procesos fueron analizados por diversas herramientas de análisis espacial, como las tecnologías de información geográfica. El objetivo de este estudio fue sistematizar esta información, considerando los centros de adscripción del primer autor, revistas utilizadas, estado del país, temporalidad del análisis, fuentes de datos, softwares, modelos, métodos, análisis, ecosistemas y unidades territoriales. Se encontraron 196 artículos coincidentes con todos los criterios anteriores, los cuales fueron clasificados y analizados. Los resultados mostraron que las instituciones públicas fueron las que más estudios realizaron a nivel local y nacional, además de vincularse con universidades extranjeras; Michoacán y Estado de México fueron los estados más analizados; las publicaciones estuvieron concentradas en diez revistas indexadas y publicaciones universitarias; la temporalidad del análisis dependió del área de estudio; la fuente de datos más usada fue Landsat, los modelos por regresión, los métodos por matrices y los análisis multicriterio fueron los más habituales; en los últimos diez años aumentaron los estudios y el uso de software libre; el bosque templado fue el ecosistema más estudiado, la agricultura fue el cambio de uso del suelo más frecuente y la región hidrológica fue la más utilizada como unidad territorial. Esta sistematización servirá como guía para futuros análisis y proyectos sostenibles.

A pionefrose consiste em uma hidronefrose contaminada, associada à destruição do parênquima renal. Tem como causas o bloqueio ureteral ou uretral por urólitos, inflamação crônica, neoplasia e ureter ectópico, seguidos de contaminação. O diagnóstico é realizado através de exames de imagem, principalmente a ultrassonografia e também através de urinálise e urocultura. Em casos avançados o tratamento preconizado é a nefrectomia. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo relatar um caso de um cão com suspeita inicial de hidronefrose. O paciente passou por nefrectomia, no pós-operatório observou-se melhora do seu quadro clínico, porém permanecendo a anemia. O diagnóstico definitivo, realizado por exame histopatológico, revelou pionefrose, entretanto sua causa não foi estabelecida.
