Within and Across County Variation in SNAP Misreporting: Evidence from Linked ACS and Administrative Records
Authors: Cerf Benjamin
Published: July 2018

This paper examines sub-state spatial and temporal variation in misreporting of participation in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) using several years of the American Community Survey linked to SNAP administrative records from New York (2008–2010) and Texas (2006–2009). I calculate county false-negative (FN) and false-positive (FP) rates for each year of observation and find that, within a given state and year, there is substantial heterogeneity in FN rates across counties. In addition, I find evidence that FN rates (but not FP rates) persist over time within counties. This persistence in FN rates is strongest among more populous counties, suggesting that when noise from sampling variation is not an issue, some counties have consistently high FN rates while others have consistently low FN rates. This finding is important for understanding how misreporting might bias estimates of sub-state SNAP participation rates, changes in those participation rates, and effects of program participation.

Published: July 2018

Telah dilaksanakan studi di Kecamatan Coblong Kota Bandung. Hasil identifikasinya berupa sejumlah isu lingkungan, baik skala kecil maupun skala besar. Di antara isu yang diperoleh ialah masalah sanitasi yang mencakup penyediaan air bersih, penyaluran air limbah, drainase, polusi udara dan bising, serta persampahan. Agar dampak masalah lingkungan itu bisa dikurangi, perlu diadakan penyuluhan atau pendidikan masyarakat, terutama yang menyangkut air limbah dan sampah. Sesegera mungkin diberikan pemahaman bahwa kesehatan dapat ditingkatkan dengan peduli lingkungan, tidak membuang air limbah ke selokan tetapi minimal ke tangki septik dan tidak membuang sampah ke sembarang tempat. Sampah sebaiknya dipilah menjadi organik dan anorganik. Yang organik ditanam di halaman rumah, yang anorganik diberikan kepada pemulung. Di sektor polusi udara hendaklah dibatasi jumlah kendaraan bermotor dengan membuat transportasi massal. Agar masyarakat Kota Bandung mau menggunakannya, hendaklah dirawat dengan baik dan nyaman. Keamanan pun penting di kendaraan massal ini. Makin aman dan relatif murah, makin banyak yang akan menggunakannya.

BioSearch Engine Design : R Code elucidation into the mechanics of search engine that reveals unexplored/untested combinatorial biological hypotheses in silico, using ETC-1922159 data
Authors: sinha shriprakash
Published: July 2018

Often, in biology, we are faced with the problem of exploring relevant unknown biological hypotheses in the form of myriads of combination of factors that might be affecting the pathway under certain conditions. Currently, a major persisting problem is to cherry pick the combinations based on expert advice, literature survey or guesses for investigation. This entails investment in time, energy and expenses at various levels of research. To address these issues, a search engine design was recently been developed, which showed promise by revealing existing con- firmatory published wet lab results. Additionally and of import, the engine mined up a range of unexplored/untested/unknown combinations of genetic factors in the Wnt pathway that were af- fected by ETC-1922159 enantiomer, a PORCN-WNT inhibitor, after the colorectal cancer cells were treated with the inhibitor drug. As an example, MYC is known to upregulate PRC2 com- plex. PRC2 complex contains EZH2, which suppresses tumor suppressor genes via epigenetic modifications. MYC and HOXB8 are up regulated in colorectal cancer, however, the dual working mechanism of the same is not known. The in silico engine showed positioning which correctly approximates and assigns to this 3rd order combination of MYC-HOXB8-EZH2, pointing to the in vitro/in vivo down regulation by ETC-1922159. If the protein interaction of MYC-HOXB8 can be established and a study be done apropos EZH2, it will establish at in vitro/in vivo level, the in silico ranking also. The potential of this engine is immense given the problem faced in biology and other fields. Here we elucidate the R code to understand the mechanics of the search engine in a fluid manner for systems biologists. Though the search engine is in the developmental stage, we share the detailed mechanism of the working principles of the same as it can be generalized to problems in other fields.

Pemerintah mengupayakan sumber penerimaan terutama dari sektor fiskal sebagai salah satu sumber penerimaan negara yang berpotensial paling besar. Baik dari segi penerimaannya maupun segi beberapa banyak pencairan tunggakan pajaknya. Pajak merupakan salah satu iuran wajib masyakat dengan menyerahkan sebagaian dari kekayaannya kepada kas Negara yang disebabkan oleh suatu keadaan, kejadian maupun perbuatan yang memberikan kedudukan tertentu sesuai peraturan yang diterapkan pemerintah dan dapat dipaksakan, akan tetapi tidak ada jasa timbal balik dari pemerintah secara langsung. Namun karena keterbatasan pengetahuan tentang peraturan perpajakan masyarakat mengakibatkan semakin meningkatnya jumlah wajib pajak yang belum melunasi pajak sesuai dengan jangka waktunya, serta jumlah tunggakan pajak yang tidak seimbang dengan pembayarannya. Sistem penagihan yang masih memiliki hambatan menimbulkan semakin meningkatnya tunggakan pajak. Penelitian ini menilai efektifitas pencairan tunggakan pajak dan penerimaan pajak yang tercermin dalam perkembangan dari rencana dan realisasi pungutan pajak oleh kantor Pelayanan Pajak Pratama Medan Kota pada tahun 2010 sampai dengan 2014. Alat analisis yang digunakan oleh penelitian ini adalah analisis efektifitas pencairan tunggakan pajak dan analisis efektivitas penerimaan pajak pada tahun 2010 – 2014. Sehingga dengan menggunakan alat analisis keefektifan tersebut maka penulis dapat menyimpulkan seberapa besar presentasi efektivitas tunggakan pajak dan penerimaan pajak setiap tahunnya di kantor Penerimaan Pajak Pratama Medan Kota.

Effectiveness of a parent-implemented language intervention for late-to-talk children: A real-world retrospective clinical chart review
Authors: Kwok Elaine Y.L , Cunningham Barbara Jane , Oram Cardy Janis
Published: July 2018

Background: Previous research has examined the impact of early language interventions on the linguistic skills of late-to-talk children. However, we have little understanding of how such interventions impact communicative participation (i.e., the ability to communicate in real-world contexts) or what factors influence individual response to these interventions. Aims: (1) To evaluate the effectiveness of Target WordTM – The Hanen Program® for Parents of Children Who are Late Talkers, for improving the communicative participation skills of children who are late-to-talk. (2) To explore predictors of Target Word participation-based outcomes. Methods & Procedures: We conducted a retrospective clinical chart review for 76 families who participated in the Target Word program at a publicly-funded clinic. Families completed the Focus on the Outcomes of Communication Under Six (FOCUS) and MacArthur-Bates Communicative Development Inventories at three time points: pre-intervention, post-intervention, and after a 3-month consolidation period. Regression analysis explored the relation between children’s communicative participation outcomes and potential predictors of change identified by 26 Target Word certified speech and language therapists/pathologists. Outcomes & Results: At the end of intervention, 75% of children had made a clinically significant change on the FOCUS. Clinicians proposed verbal imitation, language development stagnation, and parent interaction style as the top predictors of communicative participation outcomes. Of these, only verbal imitation pre-intervention predicted communicative participation change following the Target Word program. Conclusions & Implications: The Target Word program can facilitate the development communicative participation skills in late-to-talk children. Modifications to the intervention may be needed in order to maximize outcomes for children with limited verbal imitation.

Activist Systems: Futuring with Living Models
Authors: Roudavski Stanislav , Jahn Gwyllim
Published: July 2018

This article considers how computational simulation can be used to amplify imagination and make its effects sharable, persuasive and activist. It argues that this is not only possible but important for the future of design and introduces the concept of living models as a device that can express the futuring potential of such simulations. Developing this argument, the article explores whether, by postponing top-down rationalisms in favour of a ‘methodological naiveté’, designers can gain the capacity to uncover and engage with the unusual participants of the complex dynamic assemblages they aim to change. When designers collaborate with the agencies of the living models they deploy, the outcomes prove useful for the exploration of alternative values and worldviews. Explorations of this kind are significant because human designs need to improve their integrations with existing complex systems and are innovative in their ambition to see creative agency in non-human actors. In a practical demonstration of such approaches, the experiments in generative computation presented in this article illustrate that design creativity occurs through humans but not entirely because of them.
Logical and methodological issues affecting genetic studies of humans reported in top neuroscience journals
Authors: Grabitz Clara Rosemarie , Button Katherine Susan , Munafo Marcus Robert , Newbury Dianne , Pernet Cyril R , Thompson Paul Andrew , Bishop Dorothy Vera Margaret
Published: July 2018

Genetics and neuroscience are two areas of science that pose particular methodological problems because they involve detecting weak signals (i.e., small effects) in noisy data. In recent years, increasing numbers of studies have attempted to bridge these disciplines by looking for genetic factors associated with individual differences in behaviour, cognition and brain structure or function. However, different methodological approaches to guarding against false positives have evolved in the two disciplines. To explore methodological issues affecting neurogenetic studies, we conducted an in-depth analysis of 30 consecutive articles in 12 top neuroscience journals that reported on genetic associations in non-clinical human samples. It was often difficult to estimate effect sizes in neuroimaging paradigms. Where effect sizes could be calculated, the studies reporting the largest effect sizes tended to have two features: (i) they had the smallest samples, and were generally underpowered to detect genetic effects; and (ii) they did not fully correct for multiple comparisons. Furthermore, only a minority of studies used statistical methods for multiple comparisons that took into account correlations between phenotypes or genotypes, and only nine studies included a replication sample, or replicated a prior finding. Finally, presentation of methodological information was not standardized and was often distributed across Methods sections and Supplementary Material, making it challenging to assemble basic information from many studies. Space limits imposed by journals could mean that highly complex statistical methods were described in only a superficial fashion. In sum, methods which have become standard in the genetics literature – stringent statistical standards, use of large samples and replication of findings – are not always adopted when behavioural, cognitive or neuroimaging phenotypes are used, leading to an increased risk of false positive findings. Studies need to correct not just for the number of phenotypes collected, but also for number of genotypes examined, genetic models tested and subsamples investigated. The field would benefit from more widespread use of methods that take into account correlations between the factors corrected for, such as spectral decomposition, or permutation approaches. Replication should become standard practice; this, together with the need for larger sample sizes, will entail greater emphasis on collaboration between research groups. We conclude with some specific suggestions for standardized reporting in this area.

#MeTooOrthopaedics: A protocol to determine the prevalence of gender-based and sexual harassment in the field of orthopaedic surgery
Authors: Bond Zoe , Schneider Patricia , Madden Kim , Sprague Sheila , McKay Paula , Bozzo Anthony , Bhandari Mohit , Ghert Michelle
Published: July 2018

Background. Research shows that gender-based and sexual harassment are prevalent within training and practicing medical establishments, with differences across specific specialties. Orthopaedic surgery remains a male-dominated field, with recent statistics reporting women representing only 5% and 12% of orthopaedic surgeons in the United States and Canada, respectively. This represents a significant gender discrepancy and, although there may be many reasons why this discrepancy exists, it is justified to explore whether gender-based and sexual harassment may contribute to this disparity. Objectives. This study aims to determine the prevalence of gender-based and sexual harassment in orthopaedic surgery, and to determine the impact of these experiences on female orthopaedic surgeons. It will also explore the association of such gender-based and sexual harassment experiences with certain demographic factors.Methods. We will conduct a cross-sectional survey of female orthopaedic surgeons, fellows and residents that are current members of a participating orthopaedic society. We have developed a unique questionnaire to gather information concerning gender-based and sexual harassment experiences of female orthopaedic surgeons, fellows and residents throughout their education and current practices. The questionnaire will be administered online using SurveyMonkey®, the online survey tool, to ensure anonymity. Reminder emails will be distributed up to two times after the survey is initially distributed to maximize the number of responses and, thus, validity and generalizability. Descriptive analyses and multivariable logistic regression analyses will be conducted to analyze the collected data.Conclusions. The results of this study are likely to bring to light a critical issue in orthopaedic surgery and will hopefully provide the impetus for orthopaedic departments and societies to develop and enforce policies that limit these destructive behaviors in the workplace. We hope the results will provide sufficient information to determine if these experiences are one of the factors leading to the pronounced gender disparity within this field.Ethics and Dissemination. An ethics application is currently under review with the Hamilton Integrated Research Ethics Board (HiREB) in Hamilton, ON, Canada. The results of this initiative will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publications and conference presentations.

The paper tries to answer a question: what is "meaning" or "meaningfulness"? It starts with inquiries about philosophy, psychological disorders, and math pedagogy, then proposes a physical model on "information" and "meaning" as velocities of oscillators, together with uncertainty in signal processing, distortion in projective geometry. It asks whether the applications of the representation of projective groups like PSL(2,ℝ) in harmonic analysis and dynamical systems can explain what meaning or meaningfulness is, as harmonic oscillator is elemental in any level of physics.

Sea morphological sponge searches that potentially degrade contaminated wastes Poly Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH) are important to aim to identify earlier physical features of marine sponge types that potentially reduce the toxicity of PAH. Previous research has shown that a special type of marine sponge marker that may be symbiotic with microorganisms capable of producing enzymes for degradation of PAH, whose body structure contains mucus or its body is protected by a black layer such as mud embodied as mucus. Sponge identification method is done by noting the special sign (color, texture, shape, size and depth of sampling). Then sequentially the sponge morphology identification followed the guidebook. The results of the analysis of four types of sponges, found that the sponge Petrosia (Strongylophora) corticata (Sp 1) in the body there is mucus and Niphates sp (Sp 2) along the surface found a black layer of textured mucus. The structure indicates that the two potential sponges form a symbiont with certain types of bacteria that can destabilize the PAH benzene ring, so that the PAH toxicity level decreases. Hyrtios erectus (Sp3) and Clathria (Thalysias) reinwardti (Sp 4) sponges, both of which do not potentially contain bacterial symbionts that can reduce the toxicity of PAH

Published: July 2018

There is currently considerable discussion about the relative influences of evolutionary and cultural factors in the development of early numerical skills. In particular, there has been substantial debate and study of the relationship between approximate, nonverbal (approximate magnitude system, AMS) and exact, symbolic (symbolic number system, SNS) representations of number. Here we examined several hypotheses concerning whether, in the earliest stages of formal education, AMS abilities predict growth in SNS abilities, or the other way around. In addition to tasks involving symbolic (Arabic numerals) and non-symbolic (dot arrays) number comparisons, we also tested children’s ability to translate between the two systems (i.e., mixed-format comparison). Our data included a sample of 539 Kindergarten children (mean=5.17yrs, SD=0.29yrs), with AMS, SNS and mixed comparison skills assessed at the beginning and end of the academic year. In this way, we provide, to the best of our knowledge, the most comprehensive test to date of the direction of influence between the AMS and SNS in early formal schooling. Results were more consistent with the view that SNS abilities at the beginning of Kindergarten lay the foundation for improvement in both AMS abilities and the ability to translate between the two systems. Importantly, we found no evidence to support the reverse. We conclude that, once one acquires a very basic grasp of exact number symbols, it is this understanding of exact number (and perhaps repeated practice therewith) that facilitates growth in the AMS. Though the precise mechanism remains to be understood, these data challenge the widely held view that the AMS scaffolds the acquisition of the SNS.
Promoting Conceptual Understanding on Magnetic Field Concept through Interactive Conceptual Instruction (ICI) with PDEODE*E Tasks
Authors: Samsudin Achmad
Published: July 2018

We constructed Interactive Conceptual Instruction (ICI) model through PDEODE*E tasks (stands for Predict, Discuss,Explain, Observe, Discuss, Explore*, and Explain) for promoting the pre-service physics teachers‟ understanding onmagnetic field. The ICI model consists of four phases; 1) Conceptual focus 2) Use of texts 3) Research-based materials(PDEODE*E tasks) 4) Classroom interactions. The ICI of teaching model has been implemented to seven Physics studentswho were re-taking (take the course for second times) in the Basic Physics II course as a pilot study. A Field ConceptualChange Inventory (FCCI) comprised of 15 three-tier test items was administered to seven pre-service physics teachers.Students‟ ideas were elicited by using FCCI and students‟ worksheets regarding PDEODE*E tasks. The test and worksheetwere analyzed in qualitative way. An analysis of collected data has mainly focused on magnetic field conceptions with its subordinate concepts such as magnetic interaction in variety of mediums, magnetic swing (Lorentz law) and rotatingmagnetic field (Eddy‟s current). This study concluded that the students' conceptual understanding of the magnetic fieldincreases but a few misconceptions still occurred in seven students‟ minds.
Some comments on the “Justify Your Alpha” response to “Redefine Statistical Significance”
Authors: De Ruiter Jan Peter
Published: July 2018

Benjamin et al. (2017) proposed to improve the reproducibility of findings in psychological research by lowering the alpha level of our conventional Null Hypothesis Significance Tests from .05 to .005, because findings with p-values close to .05 represent insufficient evidence. This proposal was criticized and rejected by a commentary by Lakens et al. (2017), who argued that a) the empirical evidence for the effectiveness of such a policy is weak, b) the theoretical arguments for the effectiveness of such a policy are weak, and c) the proposal also has negative consequences for reproducibility. In this contribution, I argue that the arguments by Lakens et al. are either unconvincing, or in fact arguments in favor of the proposal by Benjamin et al.

Errors in action timing and inhibition facilitate learning by tuning distinct mechanisms in the underlying decision process
Authors: Dunovan Kyle , Verstynen Timothy D.
Published: July 2018

Goal-directed behavior requires integrating action selection processes with learning systems that adapt control using environmental feedback. These functions intersect in the basal ganglia (BG), which has at least two targets of plasticity: a dopaminergic modulation of striatal pathways and cortical modulation of the subthalamic nucleus (STN). Dual learning mechanisms suggests that feedback signals have a multifaceted impact on BG-dependent decisions. Using a hybrid of accumulation-to-bound decision models and reinforcement learning, we modeled the performance of humans in a stop-signal task where participants (N=75) learned the prior distribution of the timing of a stop signal through trial-and-error feedback. Changes in the drift-rate of the action execution process were driven by errors in action timing, whereas adaptation in the boundary height served to increase caution following failed stops. These findings highlight two interactive learning mechanisms for adapting the control of goal-directed actions based on dissociable dimensions of f eedback error.
Analogies of Genetic and Chemical Code
Authors: Rakočević Miloje M.
Published: July 2018

Starting from the previously established hypothesis on the existence of the coherence of the chemical and genetic code, new facts and new insights on the existence of essential analogies between the genetic and chemical code are presented, whereby the chemical code is derived from the original Mendeleev work on the periodic system of chemical elements. When, namely, all elements are scheduled into adequate groups of Periodic system of chemical elements, in accordance to Mendeleev original manuscript tables, then are revealed some very specific mathematical and chemical regularities; among others, Periodic system appears to be a code – the chemical code – in an entity analogy with the terrestrial genetic code. These regularities correspond to the mathematical regularities within the genetic code. Between others relations, it appears also a correspondence between the distribution of codons in the Genetic Code Table and the distribution of chemical elements in the Periodic system with respect to their even/odd parity and stability/instability of the isotopes.
Are Fossil Fuels The Main Cause of Today's Global Warming?
Authors: Brkić Dejan
Published: July 2018

Gas will increasingly be seen as the fossil fuel of choice, especially whenconsidering environmental impacts. Natural gas is the chance for Serbia for sustainabledevelopment and with its intensive consumption in the XXI century to conciliate the 4Es(Energy, Economy, Efficiency and Environment). In this paper we will compare the impact ofdifferent fossil fuels used for domestic heating with a special emphasis on natural gas. Someother causes of climate changes will be also discussed such as the Milanković astronomicalcycles. These factors will be compared with climate changes caused by the consumption offossil fuels.

Pengolahan tanah awalnya dilakukan secara konvensioal atau secara tradisional, dengan menggunakan tenaga hewan ternak (sapi, kerbau, dan kuda). Seiring dengan perkembangan zaman, pengolahan tanah konvensional diganti dengan pengolahan secara modern menggunakan teknologi yang canggih. Alat-alat sederhana yang umumnya digunakan untuk mengolah tanah seperti cangkul, parang, sabit dan lain-lain, sekarang diganti dengan bajak dan garu yang di gandengkan dengan traktor. Secara empiris zaman dulu manusia menggunakan tenaga hewan untuk membajak dan mengolah tanah. Sekarang tenaga hewan ternak tersebut telah digantikan dengan tenaga mesin. Sehingga pengolahan tanah menjadi lebih efisien dan efektif.Pengolahan tanah merupakan proses merubah sifat sifat fisik tanah dengan cara memotong, membalik, memecah, atau membongkar tanah, sehingga tanah dapat diolah untuk menanam. Pengertian lain, pengolahan tanah dalam usaha budidaya pertanian bertujuan untuk menciptakan keadaan tanah olah yang siap tanam baik secara fisis, kemis, maupun biologis, sehingga tanaman yang dibudidayakan akan tumbuh dengan baik. Pengolahan tanah terutama akan memperbaiki secara fisis, perbaikan kemis dan biologis terjadi secara tidak langsung. Implemet Traktor dibedakan berdasarkan tahap pengolahannaya yaitu pengolahan tanah pertama dan pengolahan tanah kedua. Masing-masing tahapan memiliki fungsi yang berbeda-beda. Pada pengolahan tanah pertama berfugsi untuk membalikan tanah, menghancurkan tanah dan membongkar tanah, alat-alat yang digunakan dalam pengolahan tanah pertama bajak singkal, baja piring, bajak rotari, bajak chisel dan bajak sub soil. Sedangkan pada pengolahan tanah kedua berfungsi menggemburkan dan meratakan tanah.

Secara ekonomi, air sadah merugikan karena memboroskan penggunaan sabun natrium. Air sadah ini dapat dibedakan menjadi dua, yaitu air sadah temporer dan air sadah permanen. Yang bisa dihilangkan dengan pemanasan adalah air sadah temporer sedangkan air sadah permanen harus dengan proses kapur-soda, ion exchanger atau demineralisasi. Persyaratan kualitas kesadahan air industri tertentu lebih tinggi daripada air minum sehingga terapan teknologinya berbeda. Air untuk proses industri tertentu perlu ion exchanger menggunakan resin agar tidak terjadi scaling di dalam peralatannya.
