Uttered Kurdish digit recognition system
Authors: Omer Saman Muhammad , Qadir Jihad Anwar , Abdul Zrar Khalid 
Published: November 2019

Speech recognition is a crucial subject in human computer interaction area. The ability of a machine to recognize words and phrases in spoken language is speech recognition and then convert them to a machine-readable format. Digit recognition is a part of the speech recognition system. In this paper, three spectral based features including Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficient (MFCC), Linear predictive coding (LPC) and formant frequencies are proposed to classify ten Kurdish uttered digits (0-9). The features are extracted from entire speech signal, and feed a pairwise SVM classifier. Experiments including each individual feature and different forms of fusion are conducted and the results are shown. The fusion of the features significantly improves the result and shows that the different features carry complementary information. The proposed model is experimented on the dataset that have been collected in Kurdistan.
Key words: Speech recognition, MFCC, LPC, Formant frequencies, uttered digits, SVM

Background
To increase the acceptability of influenza vaccine, it is important to quantify the overall benefits of the vaccination programme.

Aim
To assess the impact of influenza vaccination in Portugal, Spain and the Netherlands, we estimated the number of medically attended influenza-confirmed cases (MAICC) in primary care averted in the seasons 2015/16 to 2017/18 among those ≥ 65 years.

Methods
We used an ecological approach to estimate vaccination impact. We compared the number of observed MAICC (n) to the estimated number that would have occurred without the vaccination programme (N). To estimate N, we used: (i) MAICC estimated from influenza surveillance systems, (ii) vaccine coverage, (iii) pooled (sub)type-specific influenza vaccine effectiveness estimates for seasons 2015/16 to 2017/18, weighted by the proportion of virus circulation in each season and country. We estimated the number of MAICC averted (NAE) and the prevented fraction (PF) by the vaccination programme.

Results
The annual average of NAE in the population ≥ 65 years was 33, 58 and 204 MAICC per 100,000 in Portugal, Spain and the Netherlands, respectively. On average, influenza vaccination prevented 10.7%, 10.9% and 14.2% of potential influenza MAICC each season in these countries. The lowest PF was in 2016/17 (4.9–6.1%) with an NAE ranging from 24 to 69 per 100,000.

Conclusions
Our results suggest that influenza vaccination programmes reduced a substantial number of MAICC. Together with studies on hospitalisations and deaths averted by influenza vaccination programmes, this will contribute to the evaluation of the impact of vaccination strategies and strengthen public health communication.
Barstow
Authors: Partch Harry 
Published: November 2019

Composer, theorist, instrument builder, and performer, Harry Partch stands with Henry Cowell and John Cage among the great experimenters in American music. Constrained by conventional scales and tuning, Partch devised his own instruments to capture the sounds he imagined. Barstow, composed in 1941 and revised many times afterward through 1968, ranks among Partch's best-known and most accessible works. A setting for voices and instruments of eight hitchhikers' inscriptions near Barstow, California, the work immortalizes the dying world of the American hobo. Its intimate, honest view of Depression-era America provides a foil to the nostalgic Americana of the period. This edition presents Partch's final version of the work with a transcription based on Ben Johnston's system of notating just intonation.

Authors: Valto Piia , Nuora Piia 
Published: November 2019

During recent years, the Department of Chemistry at the University of Jyväskylä has made an extensive effort to support chemistry students’ first study year. The first-year curriculum includes enhanced study counselling course, intensive orientation course and support for academic study skills via a specific course. In this study, the effects of the revisions were studied by exploring the chemistry students study continuation and what factors contributed to it. In 2015 to 2017, data were collected from first-year chemistry students (n = 106), who completed a questionnaire at the beginning and at the end of their first semester. The results show that the percentage of dropout rates after the first year decreased. Students’ current challenges are different than they have been previously, thus putting new demands on their guidance. The results of the study indicate that students value guidance and study counselling especially at the beginning of their studies.
Das Byzanz-Bild von Anastasios Diomedes Kyriakos

*Full article is in GermanEnglish abstract:
In the nineteenth century, Anastasios Diomedes Kyriakos, a Greek professor of theology at the newly founded University of Athens, wrote a much heeded scholarly work of Greek ecclesiastical history. Kyriakos had been profoundly influenced by his German Protestant theological predecessors whose ideas, including those about Byzantium, found their way into his work, such that Byzantium was presented as an empire in constant decline. This article addresses the question whether this negative presentation of Byzantium was also adopted in Kyriakos’ school textbooks for ecclesiastical history at a time in which Byzantium was generally perceived proudly as part of Greek national historiography and identity.German abstract:
Anastasios Diomedes Kyriakos, griechischer Theologieprofessor an der neu gegründeten Universität von Athen, verfasste im 19. Jahrhundert ein bedeutsames akademisches Werk für Kirchengeschichte. Sein Werk war sehr stark von seinen deutschen, evangelischen theologischen Vorbildern geprägt, was sich nicht zuletzt bei seiner Byzanz-Darstellung niederschlägt, denn genau wie seine Vorbilder zeichnet er Byzanz als ein Reich im stetigen Verfall. Der vorliegende Aufsatz befasst sich vor allem mit der Frage, ob diese negative Byzanz-Darstellung auch in Kyriakos’ Schulbüchern für Kirchengeschichte tradiert worden ist, in einer Zeit, in der Byzanz eigentlich mit Stolz als Teil der griechischen Nationalgeschichtsschreibung und Identität betrachtet wurde.
The Hermeneutic Method in Modern Domestic Jurisprudence
Authors: Kozhevnikov Vladimir Valentinovich 
Published: November 2019

This scientific article deals with the problem of the use of the hermeneutic method of obtaining knowledge of legal phenomena. The purpose of the article is to show the potential of the hermeneutic method in the field of law. In the furtherance of this goal, the following objectives were set: 1) to justify the significance of the methodological basis of jurisprudence; 2) to consider the concept of hermeneutics in the historical aspect (views of Aristotle, Wilhelm Diltey, Friedrich Schleiermacher, Friedrich Nietzsche, Hans-Georg Gadamer, Max Weber and others); 3) to analyze the views of domestic scientists who justifying the necessity of using of the hermeneutic method by the study of legal phenomena (Djangir Abbasovich Kerimov, Mikhail Mikhailovich Rassolov, Petr Moiseyevich Rabinovich, Vitaly Andreevich Suslov, Ilya Lvovich Chestnov); 4) to show weak points of the hermeneutic method in jurisprudence, arguments of opponents of this approach (Vladimir Mikhailovich Syryh, Igor Yurevich Kozlikhin, Vyacheslav Nikolayevich Zhukov and others). The result of the conducted research were the following provisions: 1) without denying some fruitfulness of the metaphysics which is the basis of the analyzed method, we notice that the hermeneutics method is not applied practically in the law because there is no the corresponding technique and it is replaced with a historical method of interpretation of legal norms. In conclusion, it should be stressed that even those scientists who placed certain research hopes on the legal hermeneutics have now begun to doubt its potential, believing that this approach of the study of the law as an independent one has not yet taken place.

Published: November 2019

The trend of NCDs in most LMIC countries is slowly but gradually follows that of in the developed countries. There are four significant diseases reported by WHO, which are equally common, such as CVDs, diabetes, cancer, and chronic respiratory disease that causes widespread early death & morbidity. Indeed, it incurs an overwhelming financial burden to most countries in the world. The rise of drug-resistant microbes is another major problem. To overcome this issue, precision medicine (PM) comes into play whereby individual variability in genes, environment, lifestyle, and nutrition of each person is considered for disease treatment & prevention. PM provides a personalized approach, the right treatment to the right people at the right time. Many wealthy countries in the West have started adopting PM though the initial cost is high, ultimately, in the long run, will reduce the healthcare cost by getting rid of the ineffective treatment strategies. However, the PM in LMICs is still at an early stage due to issues such as lack of populationspecific data, competency, expertise, and poor financial support.

Iranite˗hémihédrite, bellite, phoenicochroite, vauquelinite et fornacite : synthèse et nouvelles données
Authors: Cesbron Fabien , Williams Sydney A. 
Published: November 2019

Hemihedrite and iranite crystals were obtained by hydrothermal synthesis at 230 °C, for a pH range included between 9 and 9.5, and from aqueous solutions of 0.5 millimole of K₂CrO₄, 1 mM of Pb(NO₃)₂, and 3 to 6 mM of ZnCl₂ or CuCl₂ • 2 H₂O ; the silicium originated in the inner surfaces of the Pyrex tubes. Electron microprobe analysis confirmed the respective formulas ZnPb₁₀(CrO₄)₆ (SiO₄)₂(OH) and CuPb₁₀(CrO₄)₆(SiO₄)₂(OH). Several partial analysis on natural material suggested that a solid solution extends between hemihedrite and iranite ; further, it was possible to replace partially some of the (CrO₄)²⁻ groups by (SO₄)²⁻ groups : the resulting crystals, all of them twinned, contain about 6 wt % SO₃.
During these synthesis, a silico-chromate with an apatite structure was obtained ; its formula is Pb₁₀(CrO₄)₃(SiO₄)₃Cl₂ and it is hexagonal P6₃/m with a = 10.173 and c = 7.408 Å. The strongest lines in the X-ray powder pattern are : 4.195 (42) 11.1, 3.330 (42) 21.0, 3.036 (99) 22.1, 2.995 (100) 11.2 and 2.936 (62) 30.0. This compound would be very probably identical to the « bellite » (Pb, Ag)₅(CrO₄, AsO₄, SiO₄)₃Cl.
Very well shaped phoenicochroite crystals were synthesized above pH 9 and were studied with a two circle goniometer ; they are monoclinic C2/m with a = 14.014, b = 5.679, c = 7.144 Å and β = 115°14'.
Lastly vauquelinite Pb₂Cu(PO₄)(CrO₄)(OH) and fornacite Pb₂Cu (AsO₄)(CrO₄)(OH) were respectively synthesized between pH 2 and pH 8 and between pH 1.5 and pH 9.5 from aqueous solutions of 2 mM of Pb(NO₃)₂, 1 mM of CuCl₂ • 2 H₂O, 1 mMn of K₂CrO₄ and 1 mM of Na₂HPO₄ • 12 H₂O or of H₃AsO₄.
Vaugnérites et granites. Une association particulière de roches grenues acides et basiques
Authors: Sabatier Henri 
Published: November 2019

As a result of a general study of the vaugnerites — micaceous diorites « abnormally » rich in K and Mg — from the french Massif central, following facts are established : 1) These rocks are of an igneous and intrusive nature. 2) Their present mineralogical assemblage (mica, plagioclase, amphibole, potassic feldspar, quartz) is the result of a magmatic crystallization, amphibole being derived from the replacement of an olivine, early formed by the melt. So the lamprophyric character of these rocks, at first expressed by their richness in K together with Mg, is an essential property of the magma from which they crystallized. Contrarily, vaugnerites are not the result of an in situ metasomatization of basaltic rocks in the course of metamorphism. 3) Emplacement of vaugnerites is related both in space and time with that of granitic magmas. 4) These granites belong to a chemically distinct group, showing a particular richness in Mg, and a parallel variation of the Mg/Mg + Fe and K/K + Na ratios. These magnesian and potassic granites (the granite de la Margeride being a typical example) are thus « consanguineous » with the related vaugnerites. This chemical trend culminates in the case of the granite des Crêtes (Vosges) and of Certovo bremeno type (Bohemia), both related to durbachites, which are more magnesian and potassic than vaugnerites. 5) This plutonic association with lamprophyric affinity seems to originate at least in the deep crust ; its genesis must imply the participation of a basaltic magma. The lamprophyric character could be acquired by interaction, without mixing, of basaltic and acid melts.
