Authors: Naoui Mohammed Anouar , Lejdel Brahim , Ayad Mouloud , Belkeiri Riad , Khaouazm Abd Sattar 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
This paper aims to propose a deep learning model based on big data for the healthcare system to predict social network data. Social network users post large amounts of healthcare information on a daily basis and at the same time hospitals and medical laboratories store very large amounts of healthcare data, such as X-rays. The authors provide an architecture that can integrate deep learning, social networks, and big data. Deep learning is one of the most challenging areas of research and is becoming increasingly popular in the health sector. It uses deep analysis to extract knowledge with optimum precision. The proposed architecture consists of three layers: the deep learning layer, the big data layer, and the social networks layer. The big data layer includes data for health care, such as X-ray images. For the deep learning layer, three Convolution Neuronal Network models are proposed for X-ray image classification. As a result, social network layer users can access the proposed system to predict their X-ray image posts.
Education Spending, Fertility Shocks and Generational Consumption Risk
Authors: Emerson Patrick M. , Knabb Shawn D. 
Published: February 2020

AbstractThis paper develops a model with overlapping generations to show that human capital formation can potentially attenuate factor price movements in response to fertility shocks if education spending per child is inversely related to the size of the generation subject to the fertility shock. The degree of attenuation depends on the effectiveness of education spending in producing human capital. We also find this attenuation effect concentrates generational consumption risk around the generation subject to the fertility shock. The combination of these two results suggest that there is an inverse relationship between the degree of factor price movements and lifetime consumption profiles in response to fertility shocks. Relatively larger generations will experience larger drops in lifetime consumption and relatively smaller generations will experience larger increases in lifetime consumption the less factor prices move in response to generational size. Thus, factor price smoothing does not necessarily translate into welfare smoothing across all generations.
Frequency effects in the L2 acquisition of the catenative verb construction – evidence from experimental and corpus data
Authors: Azazil Lina 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
This paper investigates frequency effects in the L2 acquisition of the catenative verb construction by German learners of English from a usage-based perspective by presenting findings from two experimental studies and a complementary corpus study. It was examined if and to what extent the frequency of the verb in the catenative verb construction affects the choice of the target-like complement type and if the catenative verb construction with a to-infinitive complement, which is highly frequent in English, is more accurately acquired and entrenched than the less frequent variant with an -ing complement. In all three studies, the more frequent construction with a to-infinitive yielded higher numbers of target-like complement choices. Furthermore, it was shown that the verb’s faithfulness to the construction made a significant prediction of a target-like complement preference. It is argued that a higher faithfulness promotes a target-like entrenchment of the construction and motivates a taxonomic generalisation across related exemplars. Furthermore, the results provide support for the idea that the mental representation of language is comprised of item-specific as well as more abstract schema knowledge, where frequency determines the specificity with which the construction is entrenched.
A Cognitive-Semiotic Construal of Metaphor in Discourse
Authors: Zhao Xia , Shen Rong , Zhao Xincheng 
Published: February 2020

AbstractCognitive semiotics is a new field for the study of meaning in trans-disciplines, such as semiotics, cognitive linguistics, and corpus linguistics. This paper aims at studying how cognitive semiotics is employed to construe conceptual metaphors in discourse. We conducted a corpus-based study, with Lakoff and Johnson’s Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT) and Fauconnier and Turner’s Blending Theory (BT), to illustrate our cognitive-semiotic model for metaphors inDragon Seed, written by Nobel Prize winner Pearl S. Buck. The major finding is that metaphors are mental constructions involving many spaces and mappings in the cognitive-semiotic network. These integration networks are related to encoders’ cognitive, cultural, and social contexts. Additionally, cognitive semiotics can be employed to construe conceptual metaphors in discourse vividly and comprehensively and thus is helpful to reveal the ideology and the theme of the discourse.
Is it possible to change the destiny of stray animals by legal means?
Authors: Anisimov Aleksey Pavlovich , Ryzhenkov Anatoliy Jakovlevich 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
The article deals with the theory and practice of treatment of stray animals in light of the latest changes in the Russian legislation. The research includes issues of terminology as well as the place of the function of treatment of stray animals in the system of municipal administration functions. The authors prove the unreasonableness of the strategy of returning stray animals sterilized in shelters to the habitat, argue in favor of measures for development of legal liability for violation of the legislation on treatment of stray animals, measures for registration (record) of such animals, the importance of transition to standards of circular economy in the field of waste management, measures for development of culture and education. It is proved that only a set of economic, legal and other measures can lead to success. Decrease in the number of stray animals will lead to the improvement of the sanitary situation in cities, lower the risk of bites and diseases transmitted with their help, and reduce the number of offenses related to cruelty to animals, car accidents involving stray animals, as well as cases of moral stress for children who daily observe suffering of stray cats and dogs.
Sweeping and eliminating evils: a diachronic study of mafia in China
Authors: Peng Xinlin , Gong Mingyu , Bing Jie 
Published: February 2020

AbstractMafia organizations have long been a threat to Chinese society. The development of mafia organizations in China have experienced four stages: formation, dying out, resurgence, and recurrence. The Chinese government has attached great importance to the governance of mafia organizations and has suppressed mafia forces with some notable achievements. In January 2018, the Chinese government carried out a nationwide special campaign, “sweeping and eliminating evils” [sao hei chu’ e], to crack down gangs’ crimes in China. Different from previous actions, the recent campaign has changed its focus from “fighting” [da] to “sweeping” [sao], showing the changing focus of Beijing’s strategy in the crackdown on mafia organizations. In view of this, this study investigates the past, present and future of China’s governance of mafia organization crimes in the current context from a historical, norm-analytical approach. On the basis of a systematic review on the development of mafia organizations in China, this study, drawing on the current situation, discusses the process and main strategies of the mafia organization governance, and analyses the reasons for and the problems in the special campaign “sweeping and eliminating evils” in the new era. This study also provides plans and suggestions on how to advance the campaign from the perspective of the rule of law.
Family History and the Global Politics of DNA
Authors: Abel Sarah , Tsosie Krystal S. 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
The global DNA ancestry industry appeals to various “markets”: diasporic groups seeking to reconstruct lost kinship links; adoptees looking for biological relatives; genealogists tracing their family trees; and those who are merely curious about what DNA can reveal about their identity. However, the language of empowerment and openness employed by DNA ancestry-testing companies in their publicity materials masks the important commercial and private interests at stake. Drawing particularly on the experiences of Native and Indigenous American communities, this article highlights some of the contradictions and dilemmas engendered by the industry, and questions to what extent its practices can empower users without infringing upon the rights of other groups.
A Competency Model for Volunteer Storytellers in Public Libraries
Authors: Peng Yu-Ping , Chuang Po-Han 
Published: February 2020

AbstractIn recent years, public library administrators have actively promoted children’s reading services. Storytelling activities have a significantly positive effect on enhancing children’s interest and ability in reading. Due to the shortage of human resources in some public libraries, volunteers are required to provide storytelling activities. Public libraries should enhance the competencies of volunteer storytellers and provide appropriate training for maintaining as well as improving the effectiveness of storytelling activities. The study conducted interviews in order to build a multidimensional and theoretically grounded competency model for volunteer storytellers in public libraries. Interviews were designed based on the relevant literature. The study used in-depth interviews to obtain information on the experiences, ideas, and suggestions of 15 volunteer storytellers at Taipei Public Library. The results indicate ten facets of the competency model for volunteer storytellers: knowledge about readers; knowledge about story material; assisting in planning and organizing storytelling; expressing and interpreting story skills; children resource utilization instruction skills; information technology skills; oral and writing communication; volunteer team administration and management skills; professional literacy and development; and personal attitude and characteristics. These findings can be helpful in developing competency models and practices related to competency development among volunteer storytellers for public libraries. Finally, the results can serve as a reference for administrators of public libraries and other children’s reading education institutions to implement human resources strategies and practices concerning volunteer storytellers, including planning, recruitment, education, management, and performance evaluation.
Exciton-plasmon polariton coupling and hot carrier generation in two-dimensional SiB semiconductors: a first-principles study
Authors: Ramazani Ali , Shayeganfar Farzaneh , Jalilian Jaafar , Fang Nicholas X. 
Published: February 2020

Abstract
Exciton (strong electron–hole interactions) and hot carriers (HCs) assisted by surface plasmon polaritons show promise to enhance the photoresponse of nanoelectronic and optoelectronic devices. In the current research, we develop a computational quantum framework to study the effect of coupled exciton and HCs on the photovoltaic energy distribution, scattering process, polarizability, and light emission of two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors. Using a stable 2D semiconductor (semihydrogenated SiB) as our example, we theoretically show that external strain and thermal effect on the SiB can lead to valley polarized plasmon quasiparticles and HC generation. Our results reveal that the electron–phonon and electron–electron (e–e) interactions characterize the correlation between the decay rate, scattering of excitons, and generation of HCs in 2D semiconductors. Moreover, phonon assisted luminescence spectra of SiB suggest that light emission can be enhanced by increasing strain and temperature. The polarized plasmon with strong coupling of electronic and photonics states in SiB makes it as a promising candidate for light harvesting, plasmonic photocurrent devices, and quantum information.

Two dimensional simulation of laminar flow by three- jet in a semi-confined space
Authors: Mosaddeghi Mohammad 
Published: February 2020

AbstractEquipment performance improvement in a wide range of working conditions is one of the major goals of aerodynamics. This goal can be achieved by the deformation of the object being examined or by using flow control techniques in active or inactive modes. In different researches, how to change the development ratio on the semi-confined space with input jet system is surveyed. In this study, two-dimensional simulation of the flow has been investigated in three-jet laminar flow in a semi-confined space. To determine the effective and optimal mixing in a laminar flow, critical Reynolds numbers were determined to distinguish when the flow in the channel from a steady-state symmetric flowformed downstream recirculation and ultimately transient flow. To better understand the flow characteristics, the simulations were changed at a fixed jet spacing (input jets distance to height of space ratio). Also, in this paper, for comparison, four jets were considered. Based on the results, it was observed that in all cases, mixing occurred in the space between three jets. Placing the jet along the walls of the semi-confined space allows the best combination, and increase in the distance between the first and third jets and reduction of the particle coefficient caused to reach the critical Reynolds number faster and, as a result, mixing in a laminar flow with geometric changes of the semi-confined space.

Authors: Zhou Xiaoling , Shi Aijie , Zhou Xiao 
Published: February 2020

Abstract

Objective This meta-analysis aims to investigate the diagnostic performance of serum homocysteine (Hcy) as a biomarker for diabetic nephropathy (DN).

Methods Clinical publications relevant to serum Hcy level and DN were systematic searched in the electronic databases of; Pubmed, Cochrane Library, Embase, Web of science, CNKI and CBM. The diagnostic data from each included original study was extracted and pooled by the effect size of diagnostic sensitivity, specificity, positive likely hood ratio (+LR), negative likely hood ratio (-LR), diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) and area under the symmetric ROC curve (AUC).

Results 18 publications relevant to serum Hcy and DN were included in the meta-analysis. The I2 test demonstrated significant statistical heterogeneity across the 18 studies for the effect size of diagnostic. The pooled diagnostic sensitivity, specificity, +LR, -L, DOR, AUC were 0.76 (95%CI: 0.74-0.78), 0.84 (95%CI:0.82-0.86), 5.05 (95%CI:3.52-7.24), 0.27 (95%CI:0.19-0.39), 21.68 (95% CI:11.15to 42.14) and 0.90 respectively in the random effect model.

Conclusion Based on the present publications, serum Hcy is a promising serological marker for DN diagnosis.

Applying Virtualized Real-Time Response Measurement on TV-Discussions with Multi-Person Panels
Authors: Waldvogel Thomas 
Published: February 2020

AbstractTelevised debates are major events in electoral campaigns, serving voters as a substantial source of political information and reaching millions of the potential electorate. Scholars have made use of this potential by applying Real-Time Response Measurement (RTR) to assess reception and perception processes. However, RTR-research has yet almost exclusively focused on duel scenarios. In this paper, we argue that the focus on the duel format in political and communication science research is inappropriate. Thus, we apply virtualized RTR on TV-debates with a multi-person panel. Drawing on data of two field studies (n = 1191/1058) conducted with the Debat-O-Meter – an innovative virtualized RTR-Measurement toolbox – in the course of the 2017 federal election in Germany, we show that virtualized RTR-Measurement can indeed produce valid and reliable data regarding TV-discussions with a multi-person podium. Additionally, we find perception processes to be primarily shaped by party identification and prior political preferences such as candidate orientation. Furthermore, our results give strong evidence that candidate preferences are substantially affected by debate reception. Overall, our data follows an established structure well-known from research on TV-duels. As such, research on TV discussions with a multi-person panel is compatible with the existing repertoire of methods, offers great potential for political communication research and provides results that can be linked to current findings in empirical debate research while making its own contribution to the research field.
Analyzing neoliberal discourse: An integrated dialectical-relational critical discourse analysis-discourse theory framework utilizing conceptual metaphor
Authors: E Marissa K. L. 
Published: February 2020

AbstractAn integrated Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA)-Discourse Theory (DT) framework is proposed that utilizes the Dialectical-Relational (DR) approach from CDA as its primary basis and incorporates DT concepts of articulation and nodal point to further develop DR and thus enhance descriptions and analyses of the complex, shifting and contingent nature of meaning making in discourses of late modernity that impact the construction of social realities (logic) and subjectivity. This paper argues that the addition of the above DT concepts enhances the description and analysis of the dynamics of meaning making by focusing on shifting and contingent meanings present in discourses operating within and between particular social contexts as a means to specifically and systematically capture the influence of context-specific ideologies. Furthermore, using DR allows for the inclusion of the relative permanence of social structures in dialectical relation with processes of meaning making which avoids the risk of a radical contingency that DT potentially entails. The framework is demonstrated using conceptual metaphors in the context of Singapore higher education discourse to show how neoliberalism as a seemingly hegemonic phenomenon operates as a variegated mobile technology adapting to its specific context by manifesting context-specific meanings, thus reflecting characteristics of complexity, non-permanence and contingency.

Published: February 2020

Abstract
This study aimed to compare the biological activities of 35 herbal hydroethanolic extracts and select high potential extract, which showed antioxidative activity and inhibitory activities of α-glucosidase, lipase, and hyaluronidase, and to investigate the isolation, structural elucidation, and biological activities of five phenolic compounds from the selected extracts of Rosa gallica. On the basis of one-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance together with the comparison with the literature values, the phenolic compounds were identified as methyl gallate (1), kaempferol-3-O-arabinofuranoside (2), multinoside A acetate (3), kaempferol (4), and quercetin (5), respectively. The results suggest that the extracts from R. gallica show the strongest biological activities in 35 herbal extracts and that 1, 4, and 5 among the five isolated compounds from rose extracts are effective in promoting antioxidative and enzymatic inhibitory activities.
Rare occurrence of central diabetes insipidus with dermatomyositis in a young male

Published: February 2020

Summary
Central diabetes insipidus (CDI) and several endocrine disorders previously classified as idiopathic are now considered to be of an autoimmune etiology. Dermatomyositis (DM), a rare autoimmune condition characterized by inflammatory myopathy and skin rashes, is also known to affect the gastrointestinal, pulmonary, and rarely the cardiac systems and the joints. The association of CDI and DM is extremely rare. After an extensive literature search and to the best of our knowledge this is the first reported case in literature, we report the case of a 36-year-old male with a history of CDI, who presented to the hospital’s endocrine outpatient clinic for evaluation of a 3-week history of progressive facial rash accompanied by weakness and aching of the muscles.

Learning points:

Accurate biochemical diagnosis should always be followed by etiological investigation.

This clinical entity usually constitutes a therapeutic challenge, often requiring a multidisciplinary approach for optimal outcome.

Dermatomyositis is an important differential diagnosis in patients presenting with proximal muscle weakness.

Associated autoimmune conditions should be considered while evaluating patients with dermatomyositis.

Dermatomyositis can relapse at any stage, even following a very long period of remission.

Maintenance immunosuppressive therapy should be carefully considered in these patients.
