Predicting Heart Diseases from Large Scale IoT Data Using a Map-Reduce Paradigm
Authors: Abd Faris Mohammad , Manaa Mehdi Ebady 
Published: November 2020

AbstractOver the last few years, the huge amount of data represented a major obstacle to data analysis. Big data implies that the volume of data undergoes a faster progress than computational speeds, thereby demanding a larger data storage capacity. The Internet of Things (IoT) is a main source of data that is closely related to big data, as the former extends to a variety of fields such as healthcare, entertainment, and disaster control. Despite the different advantages associated with the composition of Big Data analytics and IoT, there are a number of complex difficulties and issues involved that need to be resolved and managed to ensure an accurate data analysis. Some of these solutions include the utilization of map-reduce techniques, processing, and large data scale, particularly for the relatively less time that this method requires to process large data from the Internet of Things. Machine learning algorithms of this kind are often implemented in the healthcare sector. Medical facilities need to be advanced so that more appropriate decisions can be made in terms of patient diagnosis and treatment options. In this work, two datasets have been used: the first set, used in the prediction of heart diseases, obtained an accuracy rate of 84.5 for RF and 83 for J48, whereas the second dataset is related to weather stations (automated sensors) and obtained accuracy rates of 88.5 and 86.5 for RF and J48, respectively.

Abstract

Objectives
Rudeness exposure has been shown to inhibit diagnostic performance. The effects of rudeness on challenging a handed-off diagnostic error has not been studied.

Methods
This was a randomized controlled study of attending, fellow, and resident physicians in a tertiary care pediatric ICU. Participants underwent a standardized simulation that started with the wrong diagnosis in hand-off. The hand-off was randomized to neutral vs. rude. Participants were not informed of the randomization nor diagnostic error prior to the simulation. Perspective taking questionnaires were administrated for each participant. Primary outcome was challenging diagnostic error post-simulation. Secondary outcomes included rate and frequency of diagnostic error challenge during simulation.

Results
Among 41 simulations (16 residents, 14 fellows, and 11 attendings), the neutral group challenged the diagnostic error more than the rude group (neutral: 71%, rude: 55%, p=0.28). The magnitude of this trend was larger among resident physicians only, although not statistically significant (neutral: 50%, rude: 12.5%, p=0.11). Experience was associated with a higher percentage of challenging diagnostic error (residents: 31%, fellows: 86%, attendings: 82%, p=0.003). Experienced physicians were faster to challenge diagnostic error (p<0.0003), and experience was associated with a greater frequency of diagnostic error challenges (p<0.0001). High perspective taking scores were also associated with 1.63 times more diagnostic error challenges (p=0.007).

Conclusions
Experience was strongly associated with likelihood to challenge diagnostic error. Rudeness may disproportionally hinder diagnostic performance among less experienced physicians. Perspective taking merits further research in possibly reducing diagnostic error momentum.
European Legal Forms – Underlying Systematic and Principles
Authors: Jung Stefanie 
Published: November 2020

AbstractOver the last decades, European company law experienced a continuous growth in significance. Along with the European company law directives, European legal forms constitute the two pillars of European company law. In the course last 35 years, three European legal forms – namely the European Economic Interest Grouping (EEIG), the Societas Europaea (SE) and the Societas Cooperativa Europaea (SCE) – were introduced. In contrast, the introduction of four other legal form projects on the European plane (inter alia the Societas Privata Europaea (SPE)) failed. This paper will attempt to identify whether there are underlying principles and systematics to the functioning of these established and envisaged European legal forms. This approach shall contribute to the development of an overall concept for European legal forms. In this regard, the article examines the historical development of European legal forms and their significance for the practice of European company law. On this account, also these legal forms’ functions – in particular their effect on the competition between EU and national level – will be discussed. To complement these considerations, the paper studies the regulatory technique and the associated multi-level problem.

Published: November 2020

Abstract
In this paper, a methodical approach for the in-situ monitoring of the mechanical wear of electrical conductors is presented. The state of life can be assessed by means of the characteristic attenuation of an applied high-frequency alternating current. The advantages of this approach include its non-destructive nature and the applicability to installed and otherwise inaccessible conductors.
Utilization of marble piece wastes as base materials
Authors: Ural Nazile , Yakşe Gökhan 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
With the increasing population, the limited natural sources are decreasing and environmental pollution is increasing. In recent years, the increase in industrial wastes and the high cost of disposal methods of these wastes have necessitated the evaluation of industrial wastes in industrials businesses. Truck tires, blast furnace slag, fly ash, waste concrete, and dismantled asphalt coverings can be listed as industrial wastes. If these wastes are used, environmental pollution is reduced, and contributions are made to the country’s economy. In this study, an evaluation of marble waste as base material was performed. In this scope of work, physical tests, a modified Proctor test, a dry/wet California bearing ratio test, and density of soil in place by the sand cone test were conducted. Also, X-ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence, and mercury intrusion porosimetry analyses were performed on these marble waste. As a result, the physical and mechanical properties of marble waste were determined. In conclusion, marble waste has been found suitable as a base material according to the Technical Specifications of Turkish Highways.
Gr. σφήξ ‚Wespe‘ und uridg. *(s)bʰeh₁gʰ-
Authors: Kölligan Daniel 
Published: November 2020

Zusammenfassung
It is argued that Greek σφήξ, σφηκός ‘wasp’ may be derived from the PIE root *(s)bʰeh₁gʰ- ‘be irascible; start a fight’. The insect’s belligerent nature has been noted both in European antiquity and in various cultures around the world. The inverse of Grassmann’s Law (e.g. nom.pl. σφῆκες, not *σπῆχες) seems to be regular in paradigms with word-initial σφ-. The form σφάξ in Theocritus may be hyperdoric.
Greek ἅρπαξ ‘robber; robbery’
Authors: Nikolaev Alexander 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
This paper presents evidence for a PIE root *u̯erp‑ ‘to attack, to force oneself onto someone’ and argues that Greek ἅρπαξ (< *u̯ǝrʰpag-) goes back to a verbal governing compound *u̯r̥p-h₂g̑- ‘driving something (e.g. cattle) away by force’.
Meta-Tatian
Authors: Evans Elliott 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
In addition to inflecting adjectives for case, number, and gender, the early Germanic languages inflect adjectives as either strong or weak. Scholarly consensus is lacking regarding what triggers this fourth inflectional category, i.e. why an adjective surfaces as either strong or weak. While the traditional school of thought held that weak adjectives surface with definite determiners, some recent scholarship has argued that a semantic force such as definiteness or classification is responsible. To evaluate the two positions, I compared attributive adjectives in the Old High German translation of Tatian’s Diatessaron with the corresponding passages in Gothic and Old English. The conclusion supports the traditional school of thought that determiners trigger weak adjectives and refutes the idea that semantics is primarily responsible for whether an adjective surfaces as strong or weak.
Habitual auxiliaries in Ancient Greek
Authors: Roi Ezra la 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
This article discusses the grammaticalization of the habitual auxiliaries εἴωθα, φιλέω, ἐθέλω and νομίζω in Archaic and Classical Greek. I aim to (1) provide a more complete understanding of the Ancient Greek expressions of habituality; (2) distinguish clearly between habitual aspect and (possibly diachronically) related semantic categories such as iterativity and genericity; (3) demonstrate the usefulness of grammaticalization and collocation criteria to measure the relative degree of grammaticalization of the habitual auxiliaries. I argue that their degree of grammaticalization can be measured by whether they have developed past uses, undergone a diachronic collocation shift to inanimate subjects and, subsequently, stative infinitives, and whether they have acquired an anti-present implicature. Finally, I suggest that habitual ἐθέλω occurred already in Archaic Greek and was the source for the futurity use that it developed in Classical Greek.
The nominative/vocative plural of Vedic masculine a-stems in complex nominal expressions
Authors: Coenen Pascal , Frotscher Michael 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
In Vedic Sanskrit, masculine a-stem nominals exhibit two different forms of the nom/voc.pl, a short form (ending in ‑ās) and a long form (ending in ‑āsas). In this article, we will argue that the scope of this variation is not a single nominal but the entire noun phrase. This means that whereas the short form may occur several times in a noun phrase, the long form is either absent or occurs only once. From a functional point of view, complex noun phrases containing one long form are equivalent to simple noun phrases consisting of one long form. In contrast, complex noun phrases containing only short forms are equivalent to simple noun phrases consisting of one short form. The presence or absence of the long form marks the presence or absence of a certain linguistic feature, the exact nature of which still has to be determined. We will argue that in those cases in which two long forms occur in relative proximity to each other, they either have to, or at least can be interpreted as being part of two distinct noun phrases. In order to do so, we will apply morphological, semantic, syntactic as well as stylistic and metrical criteria.
Urindogermanische Lehnwörter in den uralischen und finno-ugrischen Grundsprachen
Authors: Simon Zsolt 
Published: November 2020

Zusammenfassung
This paper contains a critical evaluation of the alleged Proto- Indo-European loanwords in Proto-Uralic and Proto-Finno-Ugric and argues that most of them cannot be upheld. It is also argued that currently it is not possible to choose between different scenarios for the remaining cases, i.e. sheer coincidence, borrowing from Proto-Indo-European, borrowing from a precursor of Tocharian, and a combination of any of these. Incidentally, this result also means that these words cannot be used for the location of the Proto-Indo-European homeland in the steppe area, which thus loses its single trustworthy linguistic argument.
The study of the relationship between parenting styles and risk-taking in adolescents in only-child families in Qazvin city
Authors: Azh Nezal , Zeighami Reza , Ataei Tahereh , Mafi Maryam 
Published: November 2020

AbstractObjectivesRisk-taking reasons in adolescents are divided into four cognitive, emotional, socio-environmental, and family factors. Structure, composition, and size of family as well as parenting styles effect on the development of creative abilities, transmitting cultural and social values, and the amount of adolescent risk-taking. The present study aimed to evaluate the tendency toward high-risk behaviors based on ways of interacting with children in only-child families.MethodsThis research is a descriptive analytical study. The research population was only-child adolescents and one of their parents who referred to health centers in Qazvin city to receive healthcare. The sampling has been conducted in census method. The data collection tools were adolescents’ risk-taking questionnaires and Baumrind Parenting style Inventory which were completed by adolescents and one parent, respectively. The questionnaires were completed in health centers of Qazvin City, and the sampling was conducted since February to September 2018. The SPSS version 24 was used to analyze the data.ResultsOne hundred and seventeen adolescents aged between 13 and 19 years together with one of their parents participated in this study. The majority of the mothers were housewives (62.9%) and fathers were either employees or self-employed (76.9%). Authoritative parenting style was the most dominant parenting style amongst parents (93%), and the majority of the samples (78%) had the least amount of risk. The average risk-taking score of adolescents was 23.3 ± 61.29 and the highest risk-taking behavior was dangerous driving (12.83). Risk-taking amount was negatively correlated with authoritative parenting style (r = −0.20, p = 0.28), while having direct and meaningful correlation with the permissive style (r = 0.20, p = 0.02).ConclusionThe authoritative parenting style in only-child families has been a dominant trend that justifies the intimate parent-children relationships and decreases the risk-taking amount of adolescents. Therefore, parents are suggested to focus on increasing their relationship with their adolescents, rather than reducing their family size.
Efficient machine learning for attack detection
Authors: Wressnegger Christian 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
Detecting and fending off attacks on computer systems is an enduring problem in computer security. In light of a plethora of different threats and the growing automation used by attackers, we are in urgent need of more advanced methods for attack detection. Manually crafting detection rules is by no means feasible at scale, and automatically generated signatures often lack context, such that they fall short in detecting slight variations of known threats.
In the thesis “Efficient Machine Learning for Attack Detection” [35], we address the necessity of advanced attack detection. For the effective application of machine learning in this domain, a periodic retraining over time is crucial. We show that with the right data representation, efficient algorithms for mining substring statistics, and implementations based on probabilistic data structures, training the underlying model for establishing an higher degree of automation for defenses can be achieved in linear time.

Published: November 2020

Abstract

Background

Boerhavia coccinea (Nyctaginaceae) is an herbaceous plant used for the treatment of pain. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory activities of the aqueous (AEBC) and ethanol (EEBC) extracts of Boerhavia coccinea as well as the major fractions (F1, F2 and F3) from EEBC.

Methods
The antinociceptive effect of the extracts and fractions was evaluated using formalin test. AEBC, EEBC and F1 were selected and further evaluated acutely (24 h) and chronically (16 days) in Complete Freund’s Adjuvant (CFA)-induced persistent inflammatory pain for their antihyperalgesic and anti-inflammatory effects. They were administered orally (100 and 200 mg/kg/day) from 48 h following the intraplantar injection of 100 µL of CFA. After the 16 days of chronic treatment, rats’ spinal cord and brain were collected for the evaluation of oxidative stress parameters namely nitric oxide (NO), malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT).

Results
AEBC, EEBC and F1 significantly inhibited the first and second phases of the formalin-induced pain. They significantly reduced the hyperalgesia both in acute and chronic treatments. These extracts showed no acute anti-inflammatory effect. AEBC and EEBC exhibited anti-inflammatory activities after repeated administration. AEBC, EEBC and F1 significantly reduced MDA level and significantly increased SOD and catalase activities, mainly in the spinal cord. AEBC and EEBC also reduced the NO production in the spinal cord.

Conclusions

Boerhavia coccinea extracts and F1 possess potent antinociceptive activity which is not related to their anti-inflammatory properties. Their antioxidant effects may contribute to these activities in chronic treatment.
Entropy stabilization and property-preserving limiters for ℙ1 discontinuous Galerkin discretizations of scalar hyperbolic problems
Authors: Kuzmin Dmitri 
Published: November 2020

Abstract
The methodology proposed in this paper bridges the gap between entropy stable and positivity-preserving discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods for nonlinear hyperbolic problems. The entropy stability property and, optionally, preservation of local bounds for cell averages are enforced using flux limiters based on entropy conditions and discrete maximum principles, respectively. Entropy production by the (limited) gradients of the piecewise-linear DG approximation is constrained using Rusanov-type entropy viscosity. The Taylor basis representation of the entropy stabilization term reveals that it penalizes the solution gradients in a manner similar to slope limiting and requires implicit treatment to avoid severe time step restrictions. The optional application of a vertex-based slope limiter constrains the DG solution to be bounded by local maxima and minima of the cell averages. Numerical studies are performed for two scalar two-dimensional test problems with nonlinear and nonconvex flux functions.

Published: November 2020

Abstract

Objectives
Neonatal diabetes mellitus (NDM) is a rare monogenic diabetes form, occurring mainly from ATP-binding cassette subfamily C member 8 (ABCC8) and KCNJ11 mutations. ABCC8 mutations have also been found to cause adult-onset diabetes. What is new?: •Novel ABCC8 mutation in an NDM case •Heterogeneous clinical presentation of diabetes and response to sulfonylurea therapy among family members with the same ABCC8 mutation.

Case presentation
We report the case of a newborn with NDM and a heterozygous ABCC8 novel variant (c.3835G>A), successfully treated with sulfonylurea. The same ABCC8 variant was found in two other family members, already treated for type 2 diabetes.

Conclusions
This case demonstrates the variable phenotypic presentation of diabetes due to a novel ABCC8 mutation (c.3835G>A), ranging from transient NDM to adult-onset, insulin-demanding diabetes, among family members. Genetic testing in young individuals with a strong family history of diabetes, presenting with non-autoimmune diabetes is recommended as it can determine prognosis and treatment of affected family members.
A novel technique for prediction of preterm birth: fetal nasal flow Doppler
Authors: Esin Sertac , Okuyan Erhan , Gunakan Emre , Zengin Hatice Yagmur , Hayran Mutlu , Tohma Yusuf Aytac 
Published: November 2020

Abstract

Objectives
Absence of fetal breathing movements (FBM) has been found to be a good predictor of preterm delivery in symptomatic patients. However, analysis of FBM patterns and Doppler measurement of them for preterm birth prediction have not been performed before. In this study, we aimed to investigate and analyze FBM patterns in symptomatic preterm labor patients by fetal ultrasonography and nasal Doppler.

Methods
This was a multicenter, prospective cohort study. Singleton pregnant patients between 24 and 37 gestational weeks diagnosed with preterm labor were included in the study. Patients were evaluated in three groups: no FBM (Group 1), regular FBM (Group 2), irregular FBM (Group3).

Results
Seventy-three patients were available for the final analysis after exclusion. Preterm delivery rate in 24 h in groups were 91.7, 32.7 and 100%, respectively. The absence of FBM (Group 1) was statistically significant for preterm delivery in for both 24 (91.7 vs. 42.6%, p=0.002) and 48 h (91.7 vs. 49.2%, p=0.006) when compared with fetal breathing positive Group 2 and 3. In fetal nasal Doppler analyses in Group 2, the inspiration/expiration number rate was significantly lower in the patients who delivered in 24 h (0.98±0.2 vs. 1.25±0.57, p=0.015). By using fetal nasal Doppler, combination of absence of FBM or irregular FBM or regular FBM with inspiration number/expiration number (I/E) <1.25 detects 94.6% of patients who will eventually deliver in the first 24 h after admission.

Conclusions
Examining FBM patterns and using nasal Doppler may help the clinician to differentiate those who will deliver preterm and may be an invaluable tool for managing preterm labor patients.

topological spaces. At the same time, we define and study the reticulation functor between De Morgan residuated lattices and bounded distributive lattices. Moreover, we study the I-topology (I comes from ideal) and the stable topology and we define the concept of pure ideal. We conclude that the I-topology is in fact the restriction of Zariski topology to the lattice of ideals, but we use it for simplicity. Finally, based on pure ideals, we define the normal De Morgan residuated lattice (L is normal iff every proper ideal of L is a pure ideal) and we offer some characterizations.
