Matching pursuit algorithm for enhancing EEG signal quality and increasing the accuracy and efficiency of emotion recognition
Authors: Momennezhad Ali 
Published: April 2020

AbstractIn this paper, we suggest an efficient, accurate and user-friendly brain-computer interface (BCI) system for recognizing and distinguishing different emotion states. For this, we used a multimodal dataset entitled “MAHOB-HCI” which can be freely reached through an email request. This research is based on electroencephalogram (EEG) signals carrying emotions and excludes other physiological features, as it finds EEG signals more reliable to extract deep and true emotions compared to other physiological features. EEG signals comprise low information and signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs); so it is a huge challenge for proposing a robust and dependable emotion recognition algorithm. For this, we utilized a new method, based on the matching pursuit (MP) algorithm, to resolve this imperfection. We applied the MP algorithm for increasing the quality and SNRs of the original signals. In order to have a signal of high quality, we created a new dictionary including 5-scale Gabor atoms with 5000 atoms. For feature extraction, we used a 9-scale wavelet algorithm. A 32-electrode configuration was used for signal collection, but we used just eight electrodes out of that; therefore, our method is highly user-friendly and convenient for users. In order to evaluate the results, we compared our algorithm with other similar works. In average accuracy, the suggested algorithm is superior to the same algorithm without applying MP by 2.8% and in terms of f-score by 0.03. In comparison with corresponding works, the accuracy and f-score of the proposed algorithm are better by 10.15% and 0.1, respectively. So as it is seen, our method has improved past works in terms of accuracy, f-score and user-friendliness despite using just eight electrodes.
ISO/TS 20914:2019 – a critical commentary
Authors: Farrance Ian , Frenkel Robert , Badrick Tony 
Published: April 2020

Abstract
The long-anticipated ISO/TS 20914, Medical laboratories – Practical guidance for the estimation of measurement uncertainty, became publicly available in July 2019. This ISO document is intended as a guide for the practical application of estimating uncertainty in measurement (measurement uncertainty) in a medical laboratory. In some respects, the guide does indeed meet many of its stated objectives with numerous very detailed examples. Even though it is claimed that this ISO guide is based on the Evaluation of measurement data – Guide to the expression of uncertainty in measurement (GUM), JCGM 100:2008, it is with some concern that we believe several important statements and statistical procedures are incorrect, with others potentially misleading. The aim of this report is to highlight the major concerns which we have identified. In particular, we believe the following items require further comment: (1) The use of coefficient of variation and its potential for misuse requires clarification, (2) pooled variance and measurement uncertainty across changes in measuring conditions has been oversimplified and is potentially misleading, (3) uncertainty in the results of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) do not include all known uncertainties, (4) the international normalized ratio (INR) calculation is incorrect, (5) the treatment of bias uncertainty is considered problematic, (6) the rules for evaluating combined uncertainty in functional relationships are incomplete, and (7) specific concerns with some individual statements.
An Interview with Charls Pearson

Published: April 2020

Abstract
Current Peirce Section editor Cary Campbell, interviews previous section editor Charls Pearson, on his life and work studying and systematizing C. S. Peirce’s semiotic science. Central aspects of Pearson’s philosophical project are discussed, such as, in particular, his proposal that semiotic logic leads to an integrated methodology of research and inquiry, bridging phenomenology and science. Additionally, Pearson discusses his Universal Sign Structure Theory (USST), and comments on recent post-Peircean developments in biosemiotics.
Vermächtnis und Geschichte
Authors: Wentzer Thomas Schwarz 
Published: April 2020

AbstractThis article applies Waldenfels’ responsive phenomenology to the field of history. It suggests interpreting historical experience along the lines of the logic of pathos and response. Using Husserl’s introductory chapter ofThe Crisis of the European Sciencesand his autobiographical remarks as a case study, the article outlines a concept of diachronic responsiveness, which provides a phenomenological understanding of historical phenomena such as legacy, inheritance or witnessing. In particular, it analyses the temporal deferment lying at the heart of our notion of legacy, which Waldenfels captures as ‘diastasis’. Assuming that the human being must be understood as the ‘responsive being’ (Waldenfels), the article provides means to grasp the implications of this claim for our understanding of the concept of historical experience in contrast to approaches relying on hermeneutics or narrativity.

AbstractBackgroundPsychiatric consultation is important in the follow-up of disorders of sex development (DSD) patients. In this study, we aimed to present the 12-year psychiatric follow-up data of the patients who were referred by Ege University Medical Faculty DSD Multidisciplinary Team and followed up in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry.MethodsPsychiatric data of 118 patients, who were followed by the DSD multidisciplinary team between 2007 and 2019, were reviewed retrospectively. The psychiatric diagnoses of the patients were evaluated according to semi-structured interview form Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School-Age Children/Present and Lifetime Turkish Version.ResultsThe mean age of the 118 cases was 13.21 years (±7.18). Endocrine diagnoses of the cases were 46 XX DSD in 35 (29.6%), 46 XY DSD in 81 (68.7%), and chromosome disorders in 2 (1.7%). There was at least psychiatric diagnosis in 36 (30.5%) cases. The most common psychiatric diagnosis was attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) (n = 18, 15.3%). ADHD was most common in congenital adrenal hyperplasia (n = 4, 22.4%) and androgen synthesis defects (ASD) (n = 4, 22.4%); depression was most common in complete gonadal dysgenesis and ASD (n = 3, 23.1%); and mental retardation was most common in ASD (n = 3, 37.5%).ConclusionsIn order to provide a healthy perspective for cases with DSD, it is important to make a psychiatric evaluation and to share observations and clinical findings in regular team meetings.

Abstract
Flat-band systems have attracted considerable interest in different branches of physics in the past decades, providing a flexible platform for studying fundamental phenomena associated with completely dispersionless bands within the whole Brillouin zone. Engineered flat-band structures have now been realized in a variety of systems, in particular, in the field of photonics. Flat-band localization, as an important phenomenon in solid-state physics, is fundamentally interesting in the exploration of exotic ground-state properties of many-body systems. However, direct observation of some flat-band phenomena is highly nontrivial in conventional condensed-matter systems because of intrinsic limitations. In this article, we briefly review recent developments on flat-band localization and the associated phenomena in various photonic lattices, including compact localized states, unconventional line states, and noncontractible loop states. We show that the photonic lattices offer a convenient platform for probing the underlying physics of flat-band systems, which may provide inspiration for exploring the fundamentals and applications of flat-band physics in other structured media from metamaterials to nanophotonic materials.

Published: April 2020

Abstract
In this study we report on the preparation and characterization of biocomposites based on a sodium montmorillonite-ibuprofen (MtIb) hybrid and neat poly(ethylene glycol), neat sodium carboxymethylcellulose or poly(ethylene glycol)-carboxymethylcellulose blend 50/50 biocomposites as drug carriers. Ib, a poorly soluble drug, was first intercalated into sodium Mt and then the resulting hybrid was compounded with the different polymeric matrices. Ib incorporation efficiency in Mt was determined by UV-visible spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and thermal analysis. Both X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetric studies revealed that the intercalation of Ib between the clay layers induced amorphization of the drug. Differential scanning calorimetry and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy revealed the development of strong interactions between Ib and the polymer matrix. A study of the release of Ib from the synthesized biocomposites in simulated intestinal fluid (pH 7.4) was investigated. To better understand the release mechanism of drug molecules from the different carriers, several kinetic models have been applied.

Die hier erstmals veröffentlichte Analyse des sogenannten Historikerstreits, die 1988 in der Hauptverwaltung Aufklärung des Ministeriums für Staatssicherheit verfasst wurde, zeigt exemplarisch, dass dieser keine rein westdeutsche Auseinandersetzung war. Die zwischen Verdrängung und Vereinnahmung changierende Strategie, mit der Historiker, SED-Führung und Staatssicherheit die Kontroverse medial, wissenschaftspolitisch und geheimdienstlich zu instrumentalisieren suchten, zeigt den spezifischen Umgang mit dem Holocaust in der DDR in einem neuen Licht. Zugleich lenkt sie den Fokus auf die bisher wenig beachtete gesamtdeutsche Dimension einer historisch-politischen Debatte, deren innerdeutsche Konvergenzen und Divergenzen in der politischen Kulturgeschichte der Bundesrepublik weit über die Zäsur von 1989/90 hinaus virulent bleiben.
After Modernization

Vorspann
Der Globalisierungsbegriff hat sich seit den 1990er Jahren zu einem zentralen Begriff der Zeitdiagnose entwickelt. Dadurch kommt auch ein geändertes Selbstverständnis der Sozialwissenschaften zum Ausdruck, das es zu reflektieren gilt, will man bei der Verwendung dieses Begriffs problematische Prämissen vermeiden. Der Aufsatz wirft zunächst Schlaglichter auf die frühe Globalisierungsdebatte und fragt nach den Gründen für den schnellen Aufstieg des Globalisierungsdiskurses, bevor dann die theoretischen Konsequenzen der neuen Semantik analysiert werden. Am Ende ist die Frage zu diskutieren, was aus der mittlerweile immer stärker werdenden Kritik am Globalisierungsbegriff folgt, das heißt welche Möglichkeiten sich für die Verwendung etwaiger makrosoziologischer oder -historischer Begriffe überhaupt noch bieten.
The Impact of Steroid Activation of TRPM3 on Spontaneous Activity in the Developing Retina

Published: April 2020

AbstractIn the central nervous system, melastatin transient receptor potential (TRPM) channels function as receptors for the neurosteroid pregnenolone sulfate (PregS). The expression and function of TRPM3 has been explored in adult retina, although its role during development is unknown. We found, during the second postnatal week in mice, TRPM3 immunofluorescence labeled distinct subsets of inner retinal neurons, including a subset of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), similar to what has been reported in the adult. Labeling for a TRPM3 promoter-driven reporter confirmed expression of the TRPM3 gene in RGCs and revealed additional expression in nearly all Müller glial cells. Using two-photon calcium imaging, we show that PregS and the synthetic TRPM3 agonist CIM0216 (CIM) induced prolonged calcium transients in RGCs, which were mostly absent in TRPM3 knock-out (KO) mice. These prolonged calcium transients were not associated with strong membrane depolarizations but induced c-Fos expression. To elucidate the impact of PregS-activation of TRPM3 on retinal circuits we took two sets of physiological measurements. First, PregS induced a robust increase in the frequency but not amplitude of spontaneous postsynaptic currents (PSCs). This increase was absent in the TRPM3 KO mice. Second, PregS induced a small increase in cell participation and duration of retinal waves, but this modulation persisted in TRPM3 KO mice, indicating PregS was acting on wave generating circuits independent of TRPM3 channels. Though baseline frequency of retinal waves was slightly reduced in the TRPM3 KO mice, other properties of waves were indistinguishable from wildtype. Together, these results indicate that the presence of neurosteroids impact spontaneous synaptic activity and retinal waves during development via both TRPM3-dependent and independent mechanisms.

This study analyzed the impact of the acceleration of women capabilities in creating family income through self-help group based micro credit. The analysis unit of this study are the members of UP2K-PKK (Efforts to Increase Family Income). They are poor women who run productive business. The samples of this research are 177 members of the UP2K-PKK in West Semarang. The data is collected using a questionnaire that is delivered directly to the respondents along with in-depth interview. The analysis tool used is multiple linear regressions. This research tests the model that is the family income as the dependent variable and the development capability through self-help group based micro credit as the independent variable. The acceleration of capability through self-help group based micro credit includes microcredit, training, partnerships, technical assistance , membership. The poor women have individual capabilities (initial endowment) including education, business experience, and membership. To know that the capability development through self-help group accelerates the development of individual capabilities, then the multiplicative variables are inserted.The results of this research show that capability development through self-help group accelerates the impact of micro credit and initial endowment in creating the family income.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:
Families of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often experience challenges navigating multiple systems to access services. Family navigation (FN) is a model to provide information and support to access appropriate services. Few studies have been used to examine FN’s effectiveness for families of children with ASD. This study used mixed methods to (1) characterize FN services received by a sample of families in the Autism Treatment Network; (2) examine change in parent-reported activation, family functioning, and caregiver strain; and (3) explore families’ experiences with FN services.

METHODS:
Family characteristics and parent outcomes including parent activation, family functioning, and caregiver strain were collected from 260 parents in the Autism Treatment Network. Descriptive statistics and linear mixed models were used for aims 1 and 2. A subsample of 27 families were interviewed about their experiences with FN services to address aim 3.

RESULTS:
Quantitative results for aims 1 and 2 revealed variability in FN services and improvement in parent activation and caregiver strain. Qualitative results revealed variability in family experiences on the basis of FN implementation differences (ie, how families were introduced to FN, service type, intensity, and timing) and whether they perceived improved skills and access to resources.

CONCLUSIONS:
Findings suggest FN adaptations occur across different health care delivery systems and may result in highly variable initial outcomes and family experiences. Timing of FN services and case management receipt may contribute to this variability for families of children with ASD.

Abstract

Background
Most oncology trainees are not taught about the needs of older patients, who make up the majority of patients with cancer. Training of health care providers is critical to improve the care of older adults with cancer. There is no consensus about which geriatric oncology (GO) competencies are important for medical oncology trainees. Our objective was to identify GO competencies medical oncology trainees should acquire during training.

Materials and Methods
A modified Delphi consensus of experts in oncology medical education and GO was conducted. Experts categorized at what training stage proposed competencies should be attained: internal medicine, oncology, or GO training. Consensus was obtained if two thirds of experts agreed on the training stage at which the competency should be attained.

Results
A total of 78 potential competencies were identified, of which 35 (44.9%) proposed competencies were felt to be appropriate to be acquired during oncology training. The majority of the identified competencies pertained to prescribing of systemic therapy (n = 12) and psychosocial and supportive care (n = 13). No competencies related to geriatric assessment were identified for acquisition during oncology training.

Conclusion
Experts in oncology education and geriatric oncology agreed upon a set of GO competencies appropriate for oncology trainees. These results provide the foundation for developing a GO curriculum for medical oncology trainees and will hopefully lead to better care of older adults with cancer.

Implications for Practice
The aging population will drive the projected rise in cancer incidence. Although aging patients make up the majority of patients diagnosed with cancer, oncologists rarely receive training on how to care for them. Training of health care providers is critical to improving the care of older adults with cancer. The results of this study will help form the foundation of developing a geriatric oncology curriculum for medical oncology trainees.
