ConvsPPIS: Identifying Protein-protein Interaction Sites by an Ensemble Convolutional Neural Network with Feature Graph
Authors: Zhu Huaixu , Du Xiuquan , Yao Yu 
Published: November 2019

Background/Objective:
Protein-protein interactions are essentials for most cellular
processes and thus, unveiling how proteins interact with is a crucial question that can be better
understood by recognizing which residues participate in the interaction. Although many
computational approaches have been proposed to predict interface residues, their feature
perspective and model learning ability are not enough to achieve ideal results. So, our objective is
to improve the predictive performance under considering feature perspective and new learning
algorithm.

Method:
In this study, we proposed an ensemble deep convolutional neural network, which
explores the context and positional context of consecutive residues within a protein sub-sequence.
Specifically, unlike the feature view of previous methods, ConvsPPIS uses evolutionary,
physicochemical, and structural protein characteristics to construct their own feature graph
respectively. After that, three independent deep convolutional neural networks are trained on each
type of feature graph for learning the underlying pattern in sub-sequence. Lastly, we integrated
those three deep networks into an ensemble predictor with leveraging complementary information
of those features to predict potential interface residues.

Results:
Some comparative experiments have conducted through 10-fold cross-validation. The
results indicated that ConvsPPIS achieved superior performance on DBv5-Sel dataset with an
accuracy of 88%. Additional experiments on CAPRI-Alone dataset demonstrated ConvsPPIS has
also better prediction performance.

Conclusion:
The ConvsPPIS method provided a new perspective to capture protein feature
expression for identifying protein-protein interaction sites. The results proved the superiority of
this method.
Effects of the Sea Breeze Circulation on Soil Temperature Over Kuwait Using in Situ Observations and the ECMWF Model
Authors: Alsarraf Hussain , Broeke Matthew V.D. , Aljassar Hala 
Published: November 2019

Background:The mesoscale circulation over Kuwait is an important influence on changes in surface temperatures and soil temperatures.Introduction:This paper presents two common summertime atmospheric features over Kuwait linking wind circulation to soil temperatures.Methods:In this study, we use the European Centre for Medium-range Weather Forecasts ECMWF reanalysis ERA-Interim dataset to investigate effects of the synoptic scale and mesoscale circulations.Results:The results show that a large-scale pressure gradient in summer typically leads to northerly winds over Kuwait, while a weak synoptic-scale pressure gradient leads to light easterly humid winds from the Persian Gulf, consistent with a mesoscale circulation.Conclusions:The results demonstrate the significance of wind circulations in driving the Soil Temperature (SOILT). Using the Era-Interim/Land reanalysis dataset for August 2015 over Kuwait, the average SOILT on days of sea breeze is higher than the average SOILT on days dominated by a synoptic-scale pressure gradient.
Comparing the Impact of an Implicit Learning Approach With Standard Care on Recovery of Mobility Following Stroke: Protocol for a Pilot Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Johnson Louise , Burridge Jane , Demain Sara , Ewings Sean 
Published: November 2019

Background
Although implicit and explicit learning approaches have been well investigated in healthy populations, there is less evidence regarding the relative benefits of each approach in clinical practice. Studies in stroke typically investigate single elements of an implicit learning approach (ILA; eg, reduced quantity feedback or an external focus of attention) within controlled environments. These studies predominantly evaluate performance, with few measuring this over time (ie, learning). The relevance and transferability of current research evidence into stroke rehabilitation is therefore limited.

Objective
The objective of this study was to compare the ILA with standard care in the acute phase following stroke, to generate data and insights to inform the design of a definitive trial, and to understand patient and therapist perceptions of the ILA.

Methods
This is a multicenter, assessor-blind, cluster randomized controlled pilot trial with nested qualitative evaluation. Stroke units (clusters) will be randomized to either ILA (intervention) or standard care (control) arms. Therapy teams at the intervention sites will be trained in the ILA and provided with an intervention manual. Those at the control sites will have minimal input from the research team, other than for data collection. Consent will be provided at the individual participant level. Once enrolled, participants will receive rehabilitation that focuses on lower limb recovery, using the designated approach. Measures will be taken at baseline, every 2 weeks until the point of discharge from hospital, and at 3 months post stroke onset. Measures include the Fugl Meyer Assessment (motor leg subsection), modified Rivermead Mobility Index, Swedish Postural Adjustment in Stroke Scale, and achievement of mobility milestones. Fidelity of the treatment approach will be monitored using observational video analysis. Focus groups and interviews will be used to gain insight into the perceptions of trial participants and clinical teams.

Results
The first site opened to recruitment in February 2019. The opening of a further 5 sites will be staggered throughout 2019. Results are expected in early 2021.

Conclusions
The findings from this mixed methods pilot study will be used to inform the design of a definitive study, comparing the ILA with standard care in acute stroke rehabilitation.

Political Process For Preparation Of Seated Island Regions As A Government Of Sebatik City ( 2006-2012)	Nunukan Regency
Authors: Febriyandi Didi 
Published: November 2019

This paper looks at how the political dynamics that occurred in the Sebatik City expansion process in 2006-2012. The process of regional expansion can be understood as a political phenomenon by involving long administrative and political processes. This paper focuses on looking at political aspects so that it discusses in detail the interests of actors and how these actors articulate their interests. The research method used is descriptive qualitative. Primary data collection techniques are done through observation, structured interviews. For secondary data collection is done by documentation and library techniques.The results showed that the political process is complicated because it involves many interests of political actors making the Sebatik City expansion not realized until now. Although academic studies declared eligible and supported by the majority of Sebatik Island, high-level negotiations-negotiations have failed to realize Sebatik as Daera h Autonomy New (DOB). The political process that occurred did not create a consensus so that there was a conflict of interests that ultimately made the Sebatik City Expansion process hampered.

Improved Image Compression Scheme Using Hybrid Encoding Algorithm
Authors: Salih Yusra Ahmed , Ali Mohammed Aree , Edwar George Loay 
Published: November 2019

A color image compression is the most challenging task in the field of multimedia. During last decades several techniques are developed for improving the quality, coding time and compression ratio using different coding strategies. In this work, an effective compression method for hybrid images is proposed based on the discrete wavelet transformation and hybrid encoding algorithm (Huffman and SPIHT). This paper's primary participation is to take advantage of the hybrid encoding technique to maintain the quality of the reconstructed image and the reduction of time complexity. The sample test images are taken from both standard image database and high-quality images (SD and HD). The performance of the proposed scheme is evaluated by using different metrics such as (PSNR, compression ratio and encoding time). Test results indicate that the time and compression ratio of encoding are improved in the expense of the image quality.
An Introduction to Immersive Reality
Authors: Cochrane Thomas , Sissons Helen 
Published: November 2019

Immersive reality (XR) encompasses the spectrum of enhancing learning through augmented reality to virtual reality. Although there has been much hype around the transformative potential of AR and VR the adoption of these technologies in higher education learning environments has been limited (Cochrane, 2016). With a lack of models of how to integrate XR in higher education AR has fallen into the trough of disillusionment on the Gartner hype cycle for emerging technologies 2018, while VR is on the ‘slope of enlightenment’ (Daniel, 2018). In response, this workshop will provide participants with a hands on experience of creating their own simple immersive reality scenario using the web-based VR platform SeekBeak (https://seekbeak.com). The workshop is a generic version of a workshop run with Journalism students that introduced them to the concepts of immersive journalism practice and the implications for immersive storytelling (Sissons & Cochrane, 2019a, 2019b). The workshop will introduce participants to the state of the art of immersive journalism, and demonstrate a BYOD approach to user-generated virtual reality in higher education as a model of integrating authentic learning within the curriculum.

Forty Years of Labour Law Scholarship in New Zealand: A Reflection on the Contribution of Gordon Anderson
Authors: Mitchell Richard 
Published: November 2019

This special issue of the Victoria University of Wellington Law Review is published in recognition of Gordon Anderson's outstanding contribution to the study of the academic and socio-economic policy field of labour law in New Zealand since the mid-1970s. During this period of time Gordon's work has informed both teaching and learning in labour law scholarship and legal practice, charted the shifts in labour law policy, and examined the implications of these shifts for industrial and employment relations and human resource practices in business. This impressive output has included the publication of several full-length accounts of New Zealand labour law, incorporating background history, economic and political contexts and institutional arrangements, accompanied by analytical accounts of the general principles of individual and collective regulation. At the same time his research work, and his extensive engagement with labour lawyers internationally, has considerably expanded the international understanding and interest in New Zealand's labour law system, drawing it more immediately and closely into comparison with other national systems and sets of laws.
