NPalmitoylDeep-PseAAC: A Predictor of N-Palmitoylation Sites in Proteins Using Deep Representations of Proteins and PseAAC via Modified 5-Steps Rule
Authors: Naseer Sheraz , Hussain Waqar , Khan Yaser Daanial , Rasool Nouman 
Published: June 2020

Background:
Among all the major Post-translational modification, lipid modifications
possess special significance due to their widespread functional importance in eukaryotic cells. There
exist multiple types of lipid modifications and Palmitoylation, among them, is one of the broader
types of modification, having three different types. The N-Palmitoylation is carried out by
attachment of palmitic acid to an N-terminal cysteine. Due to the association of N-Palmitoylation
with various biological functions and diseases such as Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative
diseases, its identification is very important.

Objective:
The in vitro, ex vivo and in vivo identification of Palmitoylation is laborious, time-taking
and costly. There is a dire need for an efficient and accurate computational model to help researchers
and biologists identify these sites, in an easy manner. Herein, we propose a novel prediction model
for the identification of N-Palmitoylation sites in proteins.

Method:
The proposed prediction model is developed by combining the Chou’s Pseudo Amino
Acid Composition (PseAAC) with deep neural networks. We used well-known deep neural
networks (DNNs) for both the tasks of learning a feature representation of peptide sequences and
developing a prediction model to perform classification.

Results:
Among different DNNs, Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) based RNN model showed the
highest scores in terms of accuracy, and all other computed measures, and outperforms all the
previously reported predictors.

Conclusion:
The proposed GRU based RNN model can help to identify N-Palmitoylation in a very
efficient and accurate manner which can help scientists understand the mechanism of this
modification in proteins.
Pre-Deployment Strategy for Maximizing Barrier Coverage in Wireless Sensor Network
Authors: Chowdary Vinay , Mondal Amit K. , Sharma Abhinav , Capoor Shiv 
Published: June 2020

Background:
Barrier Coverage in Wireless Sensors Networks has been an active research
area. Maximizing number of barriers formed after initial random deployment depends on
deployment strategies used.

Methods:
Where existing works rely on sensor relocation after initial random deployment to maximize
barrier coverage, authors in this article proposed a novel Minimum Radius Algorithm
(MRA), a first of its kind where no two nodes, will be deployed within the non-overlap radius
(OR).

Results:
The simulation results of the proposed algorithm proves that, MRA outperforms its counterpart
not only in the case of maximizing barrier count but also in case convergence time required
by network to form barriers. Extensive simulations are carried for all network sizes to show the
effectiveness of proposed algorithm.

Conclusions:
This work aims at proposing a pre- deployment strategy that can maximize number
of barriers.

Social Media Text Mining Framework for Drug Abuse: Development and Validation Study With an Opioid Crisis Case Analysis
Authors: Nasralah Tareq , El-Gayar Omar , Wang Yong 
Published: June 2020

Background
Social media are considered promising and viable sources of data for gaining insights into various disease conditions and patients’ attitudes, behaviors, and medications. They can be used to recognize communication and behavioral themes of problematic use of prescription drugs. However, mining and analyzing social media data have challenges and limitations related to topic deduction and data quality. As a result, we need a structured approach to analyze social media content related to drug abuse in a manner that can mitigate the challenges and limitations surrounding the use of such data.

Objective
This study aimed to develop and evaluate a framework for mining and analyzing social media content related to drug abuse. The framework is designed to mitigate challenges and limitations related to topic deduction and data quality in social media data analytics for drug abuse.

Methods
The proposed framework started with defining different terms related to the keywords, categories, and characteristics of the topic of interest. We then used the Crimson Hexagon platform to collect data based on a search query informed by a drug abuse ontology developed using the identified terms. We subsequently preprocessed the data and examined the quality using an evaluation matrix. Finally, a suitable data analysis approach could be used to analyze the collected data.

Results
The framework was evaluated using the opioid epidemic as a drug abuse case analysis. We demonstrated the applicability of the proposed framework to identify public concerns toward the opioid epidemic and the most discussed topics on social media related to opioids. The results from the case analysis showed that the framework could improve the discovery and identification of topics in social media domains characterized by a plethora of highly diverse terms and lack of a commonly available dictionary or language by the community, such as in the case of opioid and drug abuse.

Conclusions
The proposed framework addressed the challenges related to topic detection and data quality. We demonstrated the applicability of the proposed framework to identify the common concerns toward the opioid epidemic and the most discussed topics on social media related to opioids.

Identifying Priorities for Communicating a Large Body of Research for Impact
Authors: Palmer Alison L , Telfer Joanne M , Peters Cheryl E , Nicol Anne-Marie 
Published: June 2020

Background CAREX (CARcinogen EXposure) Canada’s mandate is to communicate a body of academic research and expertise on Canadians’ exposures to carcinogens, to inform efforts to reduce exposures and ultimately reduce the risk of cancer. With 80 known and suspected carcinogens in its database and over 800 estimates of how and where Canadians are exposed, CAREX’s challenge has been to focus its efforts to achieve impact.
Analysis A process model for identifying and prioritizing opportunities for knowledge translation was developed. From 2012-2017 that model was used to identify exposure priorities, select and engage knowledge users with readiness to collaborate, and explore opportunities to apply CAREX’s knowledge and expertise.
Conclusion and implications A total of 54 impacts were tracked, including priority setting, cancer prevention research, implementation research, and policy and practice change.RésuméContexte CAREX Canada (CARcinogen EXposure) a pour mandat de communiquer la recherche et l’expertise académiques sur l’exposition des Canadiens aux carcinogènes, de soutenir les efforts pour réduire cette exposition, et en fin de compte de réduire les incidences du cancer. Dans sa base de données, CAREX recense quatre-vingts cancérogènes connus et soupçonnés et plus de huit cents estimations sur comment et où les Canadiens y sont exposés. Son défi principal a été de focaliser ses efforts afin d’avoir un meilleur impact.
Analyse Un modèle de processus a été développé pour identifier et prioriser les occasions d’effectuer une application des connaissances. Entre 2012 et 2017, ce modèle a servi à identifier les priorités pour l’exposition aux cancérigènes, à sélectionner et intéresser des utilisateurs des connaissances prêts à collaborer, et à explorer les occasions pour appliquer le savoir et l’expertise de CAREX.
Conclusion et implications On a relevé un total de 54 impacts, y compris l’établissement des priorités, la recherche sur la prévention du cancer, la recherche sur la mise en oeuvre, et la modification de politiques et de pratiques.
A Critical Analysis of the use of Attachment Theory in Cases of Domestic Violence
Authors: Buchanan Fiona 
Published: June 2020

Social policies and social work practices are increasingly influenced by attachment theory. Women who have been subjected to domestic violence by male partners are being assessed within this discourse, which takes little account of societal perspectives, which sustain injustices and power differentials. Domestic violence is known to be a major social problem but when attachment theory is applied to women and their babies in domestic violence it negates knowledge based in lived experiences. Rather attachment theory is informed by non-gendered family violence perspectives and research instruments, which frame domestic violence within an individualised perspective. In this way, women and their babies are observed and classified without regard for the societal factors, which affect them. In view of this, there is a need for critical social workers to question attachment theory and the positivist research instruments, which are being used to inform theory and practice. Particularly with regard to domestic violence as a gendered, societal issue, a broad perspective, which promotes a social justice view and the need for social change is indispensable.
From Homeless Teen to Chronically Homeless Adult
Authors: Baker Collins Stephanie D. 
Published: June 2020

In this paper, attention will be paid to the conceptualization of adult homelessness though the lens of chronically homeless adults who became homeless as teens, looking particularly at the impact of adverse childhood events. The study bridges the usual divide between youth and adult homeless populations both as distinct research populations and as populations understood to have distinct causes of homelessness. This examination reveals important ways in which conceptions of homelessness have become decontextualized from the narrative of moving from teen to adult homelessness, from understandings of home and from a subjectivity, which is not determined by housing status. To interrupt the connection between adverse childhood events and adult homelessness, the case will be made that our response to homelessness must include a response to the trauma suffered by persons who were homeless when they were youth.
(Re)cognition
Authors: Almeida Shana 
Published: June 2020

In this paper I draw from critical work on the historical, social, political, economic, and cultural functions of race, to trace how Axel Honneth’s recognition as a critical social theory of justice is activated through racial thinking. In my analyses, I outline the need to theorize recognition as a “racial recognition”; complicating current theories, which seem to continuously inscribe the bourgeois white male as the true provider of justice and the bearer of rights; the true subject. Critical questions for social work are raised. How might race/racial thinking underlie our visions of social justice, and who benefits from this? What happens when we re-view the social and political justice intentions of social work through the lens of global white supremacy, say, as we move towards international development work in the global south? This paper presents important theoretical positions on race and the "morality" of recognition as social justice, which contribute highly to critical, socio-political, anti-racist social work theory and practice.
Broadening the ‘Environment’ in Social Work
Authors: Boetto Heather , Moorhead Bernadette , Bell Karen 
Published: June 2020

Adopting a critical social work frame of reference, this paper explores the impacts and challenges of a two-week study abroad program to India on Australian social work students’ understanding of the environment in practice. Using a mixed methods approach, a small study was undertaken in 2011 involving pre and post-program surveys, as well as a facilitated reflective workshop to explore environmental social work. Results are discussed and indicate the program had a positive impact on expanding students’ conventional socio-cultural understanding of the environment and global dimensions of environmental degradation. Whilst this is positive and suggests some justification for the international study abroad program, other questions and challenges are raised relating to complex cultural issues and neo-colonial aspects of study abroad programs.
Hitting the Ground Running
Authors: Newberry-Koroluk Andrea M. 
Published: June 2020

This paper explores how the popular use of the expression “hitting the ground running” in reference to beginning social work practice draws upon military imagery and reflects neo-conservative expectations of first-year social workers. Discussion of the international and Canadian definitions of social work, key social work values, the neo-conservative paradigm, and the role of language in understanding human experiences provides context to this analysis. Ultimately, it is argued that it is in the best interests of the social work profession for the phrase hitting the ground running to be abandoned (or used critically) when making reference to first-year social workers, and a new metaphor is suggested that could take its place in the social work lexicon.
A Simple Method for Modifying the Emergence Profile by Direct Restorations: The Biologically Active Intrasulcular Restoration Technique
Authors: Giachetti L 
Published: June 2020

Clinical Relevance
It is possible to modify the natural emergence profile of the tooth using simple intrasulcular direct restorations. The shape of the intrasulcular part of the restoration will determine the design of the gingival contour.

SUMMARY
Some clinical situations, such as the closure of pronounced diastemas and the transformation of malformed, small, or peg-shaped teeth, require a rebalancing of dental proportions accompanied by a modification of the gingival contour. A traditional treatment plan might require surgical, prosthetic, and/or orthodontic treatment, but in some cases, these therapeutic options could be considered too invasive and not always the best solution. Moreover, not all patients are ready to undergo irreversible, long, and expensive procedures. To overcome these limitations and to solve all of these clinical problems in a rapid and noninvasive way, we propose a new technique that allows us to modify the natural emergence profile of the tooth using simple intrasulcular direct restorations. Using the Biologically Active Intrasulcular Restoration technique, it is possible to rebalance tooth shape and dimensions, gingival level and contour with low biological and economic costs. This method, which does not require any preparation of the dental tissues, is reversible and minimally invasive. It is applicable to patients of all ages, and results are obtained in a single appointment.
Influence of Silver Diamine Fluoride Treatment on the Microtensile Bond Strength of Glass Ionomer Cement to Sound and Carious Dentin
Authors: Jiang M , Mei ML , Wong MCM , Chu CH , Lo ECM 
Published: June 2020

Clinical Relevance
This study provides valuable information about the influence of silver diamine fluoride (SDF) treatment on the microtensile bond strength of glass ionomer cement (GIC) to dentin.

SUMMARY
Objectives: To investigate the influence of silver diamine fluoride (SDF) treatment on the microtensile bond strength (mTBS) of glass ionomer cement (GIC) to sound and artificial carious dentin.
Methods: Thirty dentin blocks prepared from 30 noncarious human molars were randomly allocated into either the sound (Gp1) or artificial carious dentin (Gp2) groups. A microbiological method was adopted to create artificial dentin caries lesions in Gp2 specimens. Each dentin block was sectioned into two halves perpendicularly, and each pair of block halves was randomly assigned to two subgroups to receive topical application of SDF (Gp1-SDF, Gp2-SDF) or water as control (Gp1-water, Gp2-water). An encapsulated GIC was bonded to the exposed dentin surfaces 14 days after the SDF/water application. After immersion for 7 days in artificial saliva, the GIC-dentin specimens were sectioned into beams for mTBS testing. Failure mode was examined after the mTBS test.
Results: There was no significant difference in the mean mTBS values between the SDF and control subgroups (Gp1-SDF vs Gp1-water, 10.57±1.6 MPa vs 10.20±1.8 MPa; Gp2-SDF vs Gp2-water, 6.14±2.2 MPa vs 5.97±2.3 MPa; paired t-test, p&gt;0.05). However, the mean mTBS value of the sound dentin group was significantly higher than that of the carious dentin group, irrespective of whether SDF was applied prior to GIC bonding (independent t-test, p&lt;0.001). Proportionally more cohesive failures occurred in the sound dentin groups (Gp1-SDF, 48.4%; Gp1-water, 42.9%) compared with the carious dentin groups (Gp2-SDF, 15.6%; Gp2-water, 9.8%; p&lt;0.05).
Conclusions: SDF treatment had no significant influence on the mTBS of GIC to dentin. Compared with sound dentin, dentin with caries had lower mTBS to GIC.
Uttalet i läroböcker i svenska som andraspråk från begriplighetsperspektiv
Authors: Heinonen Henna 
Published: June 2020

I denna artikel studerar jag hur uttal presenteras i finska gymnasieläroböcker (n=10) i svenska som andra språk. Syftet är att undersöka vilka uttalsdrag som tas upp i läroböckerna och relationen mellan dessa drag och begriplighet. Metoden som jag använder är kvalitativ innehållsanalys.
Prosodiska drag har ansetts ha en stor betydelse för begriplighet. Vad det gäller svenska är speciellt satsrytm viktig. Analysen visar dock att uppmärksamheten oftast fästs vid enskilda segment (språkljud) och ord. Uttalet av hela satser övas också men regler eller anvisningar om produktionen av prosodiska drag presenteras bristfälligt. Att ange explicita råd och att göra inläraren medveten har i tidigare undersökningar noterats vara effektivt eller till och med nödvändigt för inlärning av prosodin.
Uttalsmålet för inlärarna på denna nivå är att uttalet är helt begripligt och att inläraren kan tillämpa flera uttalsregler. Att det saknas regler och anvisningar i läroböckerna medför att läraren har en stor roll i att inläraren når målen i uttalet. Presentationen och övandet av prosodiska drag bör vara i nyckelposition i undervisning som syftar till ett begripligt uttal.
The portrayal of Social Evils in Kamala Markandaya’s Nectar in a Sieve and A Handful of Rice
Authors: Shankar Pooja , Rani Dr. Poonam 
Published: June 2020

Life is very precious for everyone. Life needs proper care and nurture. Human life depends on society. Only in a good society we can find a good life. Life is simple, very little is needed to make it happy. But social evils insist on making it complicated. Social evils in society have become a serious concern in the present day world. It is gradually affecting roots of our culture and its blocking its rapid growth on the global chart. The aim of writing this research paper is to highlight Social Evils in rural and urban societies. This research paper will explore the meaning, reason, effect of social evils in the light of the analysis of two novels of Kamala Markandaya, an Indian English writer. The research paper entitled ‘The portrayal of Social Evils in Kamala Markandaya’s Nectar in a Sieve and A Handful of Rice.’ In this paper, the effort is made to study Kamala Markandaya’s Social Evils in Nectar in a Sieve and A Handful of Rice. We will find poverty, hunger, starvation, beggary, prostitution, crime, unemployment and many more social evils in both novels. Kamala Markandaya’s A Handful of Rice and Nectar in a Sieve nothing but an account of the suffering of the rural and urban people, and how the cruelty of social evil resulting in suffering, death and misfortune is more explicit in both novels. Poverty is the everyday reality of the characters in the both novels. Poverty is not an abstract concept that one can really think about, it’s like wolf at the door that must constantly be staved off. Both novels are a jolt to awaken the society against social evils.
