Experimental Indication to Improve the NN Learning Accuracy by Integrity Constraints From the NN Training Data
Authors: Röser Alexander Maximilian , Englert Roman Alexander
Published: July 2024

Various approaches to improve the classification rate of neural networks (NN) exist. Nevertheless, the application of integrity constraints to mitigate this rate is novel. This paper investigates the effectiveness of integrity constraints (ICs or short: constraints) to improve the performance of neural networks (NNs). This applies in particular to data reduction in training data. The study starts with the application of ICs to the initial NN classification, focusing on the development of data set-specific constraints. These constraints are created by machine learning algorithms, such as multiple linear regression. The method consists of applying these constraints to the misclassified data sets from different tests with the aim of reducing the misclassification rate. The effectiveness of this approach is quantified by comparing the original misclassification rates with those after applying the IC, where a significant reduction was observed in three different test cases. For example, one test case can be described as significant: In Test 1, the misclassification rate decreased from 0.78% to 0.19%, which corresponds to a reduction of 75.6%. Similar improvements were observed in the subsequent tests, underlining the potential of ICs to improve classification accuracy. Thus, this study provides convincing evidence that the NNIC approach is a valuable tool for mitigating misclassification problems in neural network applications. The combination of training a NN and subsequently apply ICs from the training data (NNIC approach) is new and the experimental results indicate evidence for improving the classification rate.

Authors: Harris Nicholas , Butani Anand , Hashmy Syed
Published: July 2024

Embedding models are crucial for various natural language processing tasks but can be limited by factors such as limited vocabulary, lack of context, and grammatical errors. This paper proposes a novel approach to improve embedding performance by leveraging Large Language Models (LLMs) to enrich and rewrite input text before the embedding process. By utilizing ChatGPT 3.5 to provide additional context, correct inaccuracies, and incorporate metadata, the proposed method aims to enhance the utility and accuracy of embedding models. The effectiveness of this approach is evaluated on three datasets: Banking77Classification, TwitterSemEval 2015, and Amazon Counter-factual Classification. The results demonstrate significant improvements over the baseline model on the TwitterSemEval 2015 dataset, with the best-performing prompt achieving an average precision based on cosine similarity score of 85.34 compared to the previous best of 81.52 on the Massive Text Embedding Benchmark (MTEB) Leaderboard. However, performance on the other two datasets i.e. Banking77Classification and Amazon Counter Factual was less impressive. The findings suggest that LLM-based text enrichment has shown promising results to improve embedding performance, particularly in certain domains. Hence, numerous limitations in the process of embedding can be avoided.

Background: Atherosclerosis, the growth of fibrofatty lesions in the arterial wall, is a major cause of illness and mortality across the world. Cardiovascular disease, stroke, and coronary heart disease risk are increased in diabetics compared to nondiabetics. Carotid intima–media thickness (CIMT), performed by radiologists has been widely regarded as a marker of atherosclerosis. Neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is an easily available and reproducible test and is said to be a marker of inflammation. In this study, our aim was to assess the correlation of NLR with CIMT in diabetes patients. Methods: A total of 25 Type 2 diabetic patients (F:M = 7:18, mean age: 71.56 ± 9.63) were included. Complete blood count (CBC) was done and CIMT was measured. Depending on CIMT, the patients were divided into the following two groups: High CIMT group (>1 mm) and normal CIMT group (< 0.05). There was no difference in mean neutrophil count and mean lymphocyte count between the two groups. Conclusion: In this study, mean NLR was found to be higher in diabetes patients with higher CIMT than normal CIMT. Hence, NLR can be used to predict atherosclerosis in diabetes patients. Being cheaper, it can be used to predict adverse atherosclerotic events such as cerebrovascular accidents and coronary syndromes in diabetes patients, and the progression of these events in the same.

Authors: Kasraoui Abdelkader , Naoui Kamel
Published: July 2024

The aim of this paper is to detect the determinants of transfer pricing in the Tunisian economic context. This study uses secondary data from financial statments of listed firms on the Tunis Stock Exchange (BVMT), as well as the notes published in the official bulletins and annual reports provided by the Tunisian Financial Market Council (CMF).The study period covered 10 years, from 2010 to 2019 with 310 observations. We use random effect model to verify financial and economic hypotheses in the Tunisian context. Robustness tests are also used to investigate the transfer pricing determinants’. We find that firm size, sector of activity, reinvestment of profits and tax loss’ imputation have a significant positive impact on the practice of transfer pricing. The originality of this study lies in the importance of the transfer pricing at the level of local companies with the presence of several tax rates in the same tax system, a range of tax incentives granted by the government and the imputation of perpetual loss over several years.These findings may serve the Tunisian government in its fight against transfer pricing.

The persistent issue of haze has become a paramount concern in various regions, impacting air quality, human health, and overall environmental well-being. This study focuses on the case of Chiang Mai, a city prone to recurrent haze times. This research reviews haze situation and its temporal behaviors to propose successive opportunities for effectively addressing the haze problem in Chiang Mai, encompassing both short-term mitigation measures and long-term sustainable strategies by applying haze data from 1996 to 2022 derived from Yupparaj school ground-based station recorded by Pollution Control Department (PCD) for analyzing the ARIMA statistics. According to the study's findings, the daily averages of PM10 and PM2.5 move greatly from January to April. There is a minor change in the daily average carbon monoxide (CO) between January and April. Although short-term projections in light of the area's pollution levels, it may be indicated that PM10, PM2.5, SO2, NO2, and O3 will likely increase, regarding the local pollution's changing behavior. When compared to other working days and weekends, it was discovered that the average CO values were significantly different at the 0.01 level, with Friday having the highest average CO emissions. Consideringly the timing, it was discovered that the CO2 levels were at their highest during rush hour, peaking in the evening and then the morning and noon periods, respectively. These characteristics indicate that measures taken to address this problem should concentrate on operating at a time that is relevant to the time the air pollution arises as well as the influences reducing and mitigating the level of air pollution greatest efficiency.

Published: July 2024

This research aims to analyze the semiotic power in the films of Apichatpong Weerasethakul through a qualitative study approach. The researcher employs methods of textual and contextual analysis, utilizing semiotics theory and intermedial references, including intermedial topography. Data are collected from films, articles, interviews, and critiques. Additionally, in-depth individual interviews are conducted to reflect and support the data obtained from film analysis. The selection of purposive sampling focuses on feature-length entertainment films where Apichatpong Weerasethakul serves as both the screenwriter and director, and the films have received awards or nominations at international film festivals such as Cannes. The total number of films selected for analysis is five: "Blissfully Yours" (2002), "Tropical Malady" (2004), "Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives" (2010), "Cemetery of Splendour" (2015), and "Memoria" (2021). The research findings reveal that semiotic analysis, following semiotics theory, delves deep into the films, encompassing both denotative and connotative meanings. It emphasizing themes like medicine and public health, forests, myth, gender, politics, memory, love, sleep, truth & illusion, marginal people, time, instinct, and orchids. Through intermedial analysis, the use of symbols to create meaning is evident, fostering diverse media networks that broaden understanding and interpretation. These symbols span various genres such as auteur, ghosts of Thai folklore, experimental, sci-fi, Hollywood, and postmodernist. In-depth interviews correlate with themes of semiotic power related to forests, politics, medicine, and public health, facilitating creative exchanges. Even without direct communication, symbols convey connotative meanings effectively. With their performance skills and memories, the director and actors act as intermediaries, fostering profoundly meaningful works.

El que los docentes posean una sensibilidad intercultural, es decir, capacidad para reconocer, apreciar y abordar adecuadamente las diferencias culturales, desempeña un papel vital a la hora de establecer entornos de aprendizaje inclusivos. Este estudio se centra en evaluar el grado de sensibilidad intercultural y sus principales correlatos en una muestra de 154 docentes (61% mujeres) de varios niveles educativos en Colombia. Se utilizó un cuestionario en línea para evaluar la sensibilidad intercultural, las actitudes a favor de la diversidad y la autoeficacia en la gestión de las aulas interculturales. Primeramente, se analizan las propiedades psicométricas de los instrumentos. Se muestran buenas cualidades para las medidas globales, pero existen limitaciones en el uso de las subescalas de sensibilidad intercultural. Los datos revelan que este grupo docente muestra niveles elevados de sensibilidad intercultural, sin distinciones notables de acuerdo con el sexo, la edad, experiencia docente o tipo de institución educativa. Además, se observa una relación positiva entre la sensibilidad intercultural y las creencias a favor de la diversidad, así como entre la sensibilidad intercultural y la autoeficacia en el manejo de aulas multiculturales. De esta forma, la sensibilidad intercultural podría contribuir a una preparación adecuada para abordar la diversidad en los entornos educativos. Se discuten estos resultados frente a los desafíos educativos que se presentan en entornos culturalmente diversos y con la intención de contribuir a una sociedad más justa e inclusiva. Finalmente, se sugiere replicar este estudio en muestras más amplias y diversificadas.

The article deals with the effect of adding coconut oil to the diet of heavy pigs on the concentration of fatty acids in leg meat, back fat, and liver. Lauric acid has several positive effects on the consumer. However, the concentration of this fatty acid in pig meat is very low or absent. Coconut oil, which contains a high concentration of lauric acid, was added to the pigs´ diet (30 g per head per day) for 18 days before slaughtering. This dietary intervention increased the concentration of lauric acid in leg meat and back fat but had no effect on the lauric acid concentration in pig liver. Concentrations of margaric and arachidic acids in leg meat, oleic, arachidic, and sum of mono-unsaturated fatty acids in back fat, palmitoleic and sum of saturated fatty acids in pig liver were affected by the addition of coconut oil to the diet of pigs. The monounsaturation index C18:1/C18:0 in leg meat was higher in the coconut oil group. The intake of small amounts of coconut oil affected the concentration of some fatty acids and increased the concentration of lauric acid in the leg meat and back fat of pigs.

Common and tartary buckwheat are important cultivated species of the genus Fagopyrum. Genetic polymorphism of thirty-five genotypes of common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench) and tartary buckwheat (Fagopyrum tataricum Gaertn.) was analyzed using 10 random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) primers. A total of 119 DNA fragments were amplified using ten RAPD primers with an average of 11.9 fragments per primer. The number of amplified fragments ranged from 6 (OPB-08) to 16 (SIGMA-D-01). PIC values ranged from 0.782 (OPC-08) to 0.919 (SIGMA-D-01) with an average of 0.871 per primer. The marker index (10.364) and diversity detecting index (2.961) were high and presented the utility of used marker technique. To evaluate the genetic relationships among buckwheat genotypes a phylogenetic tree based on UPGMA algorithm was constructed. The genotypes of common and tartary buckwheat were separated independently into cluster I and II. Cluster I separated 14 genotypes of tartary buckwheat into two subclusters (Ia, Ib). Genotype 903016, which originated in Pakistan, was separated individually into the subcluster Ia. Cluster II included genotypes of common buckwheat and was further subdivided into subcluster IIa and IIb. Two genotypes of subcluster IIb (Bamby and Hruszowska) were genetically the closest. Bamby and Hruszowska reflected the maximum similarity value (0.605) according to Jaccard’s coefficient of similarity. Based on the presented data it is suggested that the RAPD technique is suitable for differentiation among genotypes of common and tartary buckwheat. RAPD primers have proven to be reliable and useful method for studying genetic variability of buckwheat genotypes.

Diálogos entre perspectivas campesinas y científicas como estrategia para aumentar la resiliencia al cambio climático en un altiplano andino colombiano
Authors: Lamprea-Quiroga Pedro Simón , Sanabria-Marin Rigaud

Con base en los conocimientos campesinos y científicos del clima y cambios climáticos en un altiplano colombiano, ubicado en los departamentos de Cundinamarca y Boyacá, se buscó la forma de comprender su relación con las amenazas por las lluvias y las temperaturas extremas sobre las comunidades campesinas. De 26 estaciones pluviales analizadas, cinco mostraron cambios entre 1980 y 2014, cuatro con incrementos y una con decremento, mediante la prueba de Mann-Kendall, con más del 90% de confianza. Por decenio, cuatro estaciones incrementaron las temperaturas máximas diarias, lo cual concuerda con la percepción de los campesinos, y una disminuyó; mientras, las temperaturas mínimas decrecieron en dos estaciones y dos incrementaron. El cambio climático expuesto por los campesinos no se expresó con las variables meteorológicas, sino con la asociación en el cambio de las condiciones y factores para sus labores rurales. Desde el enfoque transdisciplinar, a partir de los diálogos con los campesinos, el cambio climático se logró comprender mejor a partir de las adaptaciones en el uso y el manejo de sus territorios; lo cual se convierte en una mejor perspectiva para incrementar la resiliencia de los campesinos de los Andes colombianos frente a los riesgos por el cambio climático.

Hacia un derecho de la catástrofe: La necesidad de legislar para los tiempos que vienen
Authors: Quiroga Rodriguez Elio
Published: July 2024

Según el Climate Reanalyzer de la Universidad de Maine, una plataforma en línea que ofrece representaciones visuales de los modelos climáticos (Granshaw, 2020), se ha registrado un acontecimiento sin precedentes en la historia de nuestro planeta: durante cuatro días consecutivos, desde el 3 hasta el 6 de julio del 2023, se ha vivido la temperatura más elevada jamás registrada (Ecoavant.com, 2023). Los datos proporcionados por esta herramienta son impactantes. Por su parte, la OMS nos advierte de la inminencia de una posible nueva pandemia (WHO, 2023). Los riesgos de futuros acontecimientos catastróficos globales empiezan a atisbarse en el horizonte (Pierrehumbert, 2005); tal vez sería el momento de empezar a desarrollar, y sobre todo legislar, medidas preventivas para cuando lo inevitable llegue.
