Published: January 2022

The objective of this study is to map articles that present models for determining the territory size of Geographical Indications (GIs), a relevant factor for the management of GIs that is poorly explored in studies on the subject. The study was undertaken as a systematic mapping study (SMS), whose main objective is to identify accessible facts about a given research topic, which is also the most suitable approach when aiming to analyze the state of the art of a subject with little evidence available in the literature. Using the Scopus and Web of Science databases, in which 671 results were found, and the StArt tool to select the articles, 652 articles were excluded (30 duplicates and 622 that did not meet the inclusion criteria established in the systematic mapping protocol). Then, after a complete reading of the texts of the 19 remaining articles, 14 were excluded. Thus, this study included only five articles in which GI size models were developed, the oldest of which was published in 2007 and the most recent in 2021. We therefore conclude that few studies are available in the literature on this theme.

Surgical removal of a compressive thoracic epidural vascular malformation in a patient with Klippel-Trénaunay syndrome: illustrative case
Authors: Muse John C. , Silveira Luke Antonio , Liebelt Brandon , Tranmer Bruce Ian
Published: January 2022

BACKGROUND

Klippel-Trénaunay syndrome (KTS) is a combined capillary-lymphatic-venous malformation disorder traditionally associated with high surgical morbidity. Although rare, pathologic involvement of the spinal cord has been reported in the literature. However, the safety of surgical intervention remains unclear. We report a case of successful decompression of a thoracic epidural lesion in an individual with KTS who presented with spastic paraparesis.

OBSERVATIONS

The patient is a 38-year-old male, diagnosed with KTS as an infant, who presented with spastic paraparesis secondary to a thoracic epidural lesion. He underwent laminectomies and resection of the lesion with subsequent improvement of his symptoms and without significant postoperative morbidity. Histopathology confirmed the lesion to be a benign vascular malformation.

LESSONS

Currently, the literature regarding management of symptomatic vascular lesions in individuals with KTS supports nonoperative management, due to the increased risk of operative morbidity associated with this syndrome. This case presents evidence for safe and appropriate surgical management of a thoracic epidural vascular malformation in a patient with KTS in the setting of progressive neurological decline, establishing a role for neurosurgical intervention in this high-risk population when no conservative management portends further neurological deterioration.

The purpose of the study was to investigate and determine the role of households in beef production on the basis of the generalization of theoretical provisions and the analysis of analytical data. In the course of the research it was revealed that in Ukraine, in the market conditions of management, an important role was given to entrepreneurship. There are three main groups of agricultural producers in Ukraine: agricultural enterprises, farms and households. The dynamics of cattle in terms of farm categories is shown. The main factors influencing the reduction of cattle and beef production in the current economic conditions have been identified. The structure of beef production is analyzed and the main producers are identified. It is difficult to estimate the role of households in beef and veal production. The main problem of the beef and veal market is the reduction of the commercial attractiveness of the livestock industry, which leads to a reduction in the number of cattle and, consequently, a reduction in meat production. The development of beef production in households is substantiated. In general, for most rural households engaged in cattle breeding in Ukraine and developing countries, livestock production was a source of food and cash, a means of survival.

Authors: Yusuf Ahmad , Kusrini Kusrini , Muhammad Alva Hendi
Published: January 2022

Kekhawatiran kesehatan manusia adalah salah satu konsekuensi penting dari rendahnya kualitas udara. Kondisi rendahnya kualitas udara setiap kota akan memberikan dampak jangka panjang seperti terjadinya pemanasan global serta efek rumah kaca antropogenik. Masalah kualitas udara biasanya terjadi pada daerah yang berada beberapa bagian negara seperti Pulau Kalimantan. Sebagai pulau terbesar ketiga di dunia, Kalimantan dapat dikatakan sebagai paru-paru dunia seperti permasalahan kabut asap yang menyelimuti Kota Banjarmasin pada 2019. Kondisi tersebut dapat mengakibatkan tingginya penderita Infeksi Saluran Pernafasan Akut (ISPA). Pengambilan keputusan oleh pemangku kepentingan perlu dikaji secara mendalam untuk mencegah hal tersebut. Salah satu upaya yang dapat dilakukan adalah prakiraan kualitas udara yang akan terjadi. Data yang didapatkan dari BMKG Kota Banjarmasin merupakan bahan awal untuk prakiraan tersebut. Prakiraan kualitas udara akan menggunakan Triple Exponential Smoothing dengan 2 jenis pemodelan yaitu additive dan multiplicative, sehingga penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melakukan prakiraan kualitas udara di Kota Banjarmasin pada tahun 2021 dan 2022 menggunakan Additive dan Multiplicative Triple Exponential Smoothing. Pada prakiraan menggunakan metode tersebut, pembobotan pada nilai konstanta α, β, γ dapat menghasilkan nilai error yang kecil. Untuk menentukan perbandingan akurasi kedua pemodelan dilakukan dengan nilai RMSE. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kondisi kualitas udara di Banjarmasin selama 2021 dan 2022 untuk polutan CO, O3, dan PM berada pada kategori aman untuk kesehatan manusia, sedangkan untuk polutan NO2 dan SO2 dinyatakan memiliki indeks yang tinggi sehingga kualitas udara dapat membahayakan kesehatan makhluk hidup. Secara perbandingan, pemodelan multiplicative pada prakiraan CO (α = 0.5, β = 0.001, dan γ = 0.149), NO2 (α = 0.5, β = 0.024, dan γ = 0.022), dan SO2 (α = 0.5, β = 0.001, dan γ = 0.037) memiliki akurasi tinggi dan nilai error yang kecil dibandingkan dengan pemodelan additive. Sebaliknya, pemodelan additive pada O3 (α = 0.5, β = 0.001, dan γ = 0.06) dan PM (α = 0.434, β = 0.001, dan γ = 0.213) memilik akurasi tinggi dan nilai error yang rendah dibandingkan pemodelan multiplicative. Kesimpulan yang didapatkan adalah perbedaan hasil prakiraan antara pemodelan additive dan multiplicative pada prakiraan kualitas udara di Banjarmasin karena pemodelan multiplicative digunakan apabila terdapat kecenderungan atau tanda bahwa pola musiman bergantung pada ukuran data. Dengan kata lain, pola musiman membesar seiring meningkatnya ukuran data. Sedangkan model additive digunakan jika kecenderungan tersebut tidak terjadi.

Published: January 2022

Antioxidants are substances counteracting the effects of free radicals. Antioxidants are formed in several forms, encompassing vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals. Genjer or yellow velvet leaves (Limnocharis Flava) is an aquatic plant potentially beneficial alternative to natural antioxidants. This study aims to measure the antioxidant effect from the yellow velvetleaf ethanol extract on malondialdehyde (MDA) activities in livers of diabetic rats (Rattus novergicus) induced by alloxan in three different doses. The tested animals were randomly divided into five groups comprising six white rats previously induced with alloxan by intra-peritoneal injection. Group 1 was the negative control provided 0.5% CMC Na while group 2 was a positive control administered 0.45 mg glibenclamide. On the other hand, groups 3, 4, and 5 were the experimental groups that provided the extract of yellow velvetleaf as many as 32.5 mg/kg body weight (BW) ethanol, 65 mg/kg BW ethanol extract, and 130 mg/kg BW, respectively. Furthermore, the extracts were administered once on the 7th, 14th, and 21st days; the parameters observed were MDA activities in the rats’ livers. The Thiobarbituric Acid Reactive Substances (TBARs) method was then employed to investigate these actions. The one-way ANOVA was administered to examine the acquired data from the examination, followed by a post hoc test. The average points of the MDA level from group 1 to group 5 were 10.78 0.33, 3.71 + 0.19, 7.25 + 0.26, 5.76 + 0.25, and 4.01 + 0.22, correspondingly, according to the results. The one-way ANOVA test revealed that MDA levels in each test group were significantly different (p 0.05). Based on these findings, it may be concluded that feeding ethanol extract from yellow velvet leaves to diabetic rats reduces MDA levels in their livers, therefore preserving cells from harm.
Chapter 10. Explainable Neuro-Symbolic Hierarchical Reinforcement Learning

Published: January 2022

Human-robot interactive decision-making is increasingly becoming ubiquitous, and explainability is an influential factor in determining the reliance on autonomy. However, it is not reasonable to trust systems beyond our comprehension, and typical machine learning and data-driven decision-making are black-box paradigms that impede explainability. Therefore, it is critical to establish computational efficient decision-making mechanisms enhanced by explainability-aware strategies. To this end, we propose the Trustworthy Decision-Making (TDM), which is an explainable neuro-symbolic approach by integrating symbolic planning into hierarchical reinforcement learning. The framework of TDM enables the subtask-level explainability from the causal relational and understandable subtasks. Besides, TDM also demonstrates the advantage of the integration between symbolic planning and reinforcement learning, reaping the benefits of both worlds. Experimental results validate the effectiveness of proposed method while improving the explainability in the process of decision-making.

Towards an Ontology of Representation
Authors: Mizoguchi Riichiro , Borgo Stefano
Published: January 2022

In philosophy information is mainly discussed along with the notion of aboutness. In more practical communities, information is mainly addressed together with notions like data and knowledge. This paper proposes a different approach. We look at information (and related concepts) as roles played by representations. This view implies that the notion of representation is central for any ontological analysis of information and related concepts. The paper provides arguments for this new stand and discusses an ontological model of representation based on the systematic distinction between form and content. The broadness and flexibility of the proposed model is shown by discussing a list of variegated representation entities from music to procedure, from novel to painting. The paper also investigates the role of letters (characters) in natural language expressions, which turns out to be quite complex.

Chapter 17. Logic Tensor Networks: Theory and Applications

Published: January 2022

The recent availability of large-scale data combining multiple data modalities has opened various research and commercial opportunities in Artificial Intelligence (AI). Machine Learning (ML) has achieved important results in this area mostly by adopting a sub-symbolic distributed representation. It is generally accepted now that such purely sub-symbolic approaches can be data inefficient and struggle at extrapolation and reasoning. By contrast, symbolic AI is based on rich, high-level representations ideally based on human-readable symbols. Despite being more explainable and having success at reasoning, symbolic AI usually struggles when faced with incomplete knowledge or inaccurate, large data sets and combinatorial knowledge. Neurosymbolic AI attempts to benefit from the strengths of both approaches combining reasoning with complex representation of knowledge and efficient learning from multiple data modalities. Hence, neurosymbolic AI seeks to ground rich knowledge into efficient sub-symbolic representations and to explain sub-symbolic representations and deep learning by offering high-level symbolic descriptions for such learning systems. Logic Tensor Networks (LTN) are a neurosymbolic AI system for querying, learning and reasoning with rich data and abstract knowledge. LTN introduces Real Logic, a fully differentiable first-order language with concrete semantics such that every symbolic expression has an interpretation that is grounded onto real numbers in the domain. In particular, LTN converts Real Logic formulas into computational graphs that enable gradient-based optimization. This chapter presents the LTN framework and illustrates its use on knowledge completion tasks to ground the relational predicates (symbols) into a concrete interpretation (vectors and tensors). It then investigates the use of LTN on semi-supervised learning, learning of embeddings and reasoning. LTN has been applied recently to many important AI tasks, including semantic image interpretation, ontology learning and reasoning, and reinforcement learning, which use LTN for supervised classification, data clustering, semi-supervised learning, embedding learning, reasoning and query answering. The chapter presents some of the main recent applications of LTN before analyzing results in the context of related work and discussing the next steps for neurosymbolic AI and LTN-based AI models.

It’s Good for Me
Authors: Johnson Nia
Published: January 2022

This study examines moral development’s role in judgments of health messages. This research assesses which appeals and type of benefit advertised in health ads impact ad effectiveness and health intentions. Results indicate that messages advertising a third-person benefit of the behavior are more appealing than a first-person benefit and that moral development should be considered when designing health messages. The ads presenting a third-person benefit and an emotional appeal were more effective among those who rated higher in the maintaining norms schema of moral development and among those with higher moral development. This indicates that health messages targeting adolescents should emphasize the principles at play when encouraging behavior or attitude change and should highlight societal values in the behaviors.
