Modelling Human Activity using Smartphone Data
Authors: Badrinath Suriya , Muthalagu Raja 
Published: October 2021

Background:
Over time, multichannel time series data were utilized for the purpose of modeling human activity. Instruments such as an accelerometer and gyroscope which had sensors embedded in them, recorded sensor data which were then utilized to record 6-axes, single dimensional convolution for the purpose of formulating a deep CNN. The resultant network achieved 94.79% activity recognition accuracy on raw sensor data, and 95.57% accuracy when Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) knowledge was added to the sensor data.

Objective:
This study helps to achieve an orderly report of daily Human activities for the overall balanced lifestyle of a healthy human being.

Methods:
Interfacing is done using Arduino Uno, Raspberry-Pi 3, heart rate sensor and accelerometer ADXL345 to generate real time values of day-to-day human activities such as walking, sleeping, climbing upstairs/downstairs and so on. Initially, the heart pulse of our four tested individuals is recorded and tabulated to depict and draw conclusions all the way from “Low BP” to “Heavy Exercise”. The convolution neural network is initially trained with an online human activity dataset and tested using our real time generated values which are sent to the MAC OS using a Bluetooth interface.

Results:
We obtain graphical representations of the amount of each activity performed by the test set of individuals, and in turn conclusions which suggest increase or decrease in the consistency of certain activities to the users, depicted through our developed iOS application, “Fitnesse”.

Conclusion:
The result of this works is used to improve the daily health routines and the overall lifestyle of distressed patients.

Aim:
To evaluate the effects of 12-week Pilates training program on cardiac autonomic modulation.
Materials & methods:
A randomized controlled trial of a 12-week Pilates training program was conducted. A total of 54 men were randomly allocated to either a control or a Pilates group. Initially, the RR intervals were captured for 20 min for later analysis of heart rate variability (HRV). The training protocol was then initiated, in which the Pilates group performed 36 sessions of the Pilates method for approximately 60 min each session, three-times a week, totaling 12 weeks. The control group was instructed to maintain their normal activities during this period. One week after the end of the training, the final evaluations were performed with the capture of RR intervals in both the groups. Linear indices in the time (SDNN and rMSSD) and frequency (low frequency [LF] and high frequency [HF]) domains, and the Poincaré plot (SD1 and SD2) were used. Nonlinear indices were also analyzed (approximate entropy and detrended fluctuation analysis). Descriptive statistics and generalized mixed models were performed.
Results:
There was a group effect for LF (ms
2
) and a time effect for SD2. There was a training effect observed by the time*group interactions in which an increase in global HRV indices was found for the Pilates group after 12 weeks (SDNN: mean difference [MD] = 9.82; standard deviation [SD] = 18.52; ES = -0.514; LF [ms
2
]: MD = 334.23; SD = 669.43; ES = -0.547; SD2: MD = 14.58; SD = 24.28; ES = -0.693).
Conclusion:
A 12-week Pilates training program promotes significant improvement in global modulation of HRV in the Pilates group considering the significant increase in SDNN, LF (ms
2
) and SD2 indices.

Authors: Rodrigues Cíntia Régia , Mailer Valéria Contrucci de Oliveira 
Published: October 2021

O objetivo deste estudo é analisar o modelo de política linguística educacional proposto nos primórdios do século XXI, de 2000 a 2004 pelo município de Blumenau/SC, que pretendeu a manutenção da língua alemã no currículo escolar, introduzida na região a partir das políticas imigratórias do século XIX e ainda praticada por comunidades de fala. Esse trabalho se enquadra nos debates acerca do campo de pesquisas da política linguística, tendo como referenciais Spolsky, (2004), (2009), (2016); Shohamy, (2006). No projeto proposto pela secretaria de educação, o domínio escolar, segundo Mailer (2003), pautou-se pelos seguintes eixos: Normalização da Oferta de Línguas no Currículo Escolar e Programa de Ensino de Alemão; Projeto de Formação de Professores de Alemão; Escolas Bilíngues; Conselho do ensino da Língua Alemã. Em relação aos resultados, o presente trabalho constatou que as línguas minoritárias continuam estigmatizadas e invisibilizadas nas políticas educacionais, no caso a língua alemã. No projeto analisado a língua alemã deveria estar presente no currículo escolar sendo reconhecida como língua de herança de parte da população local.

Published: October 2021

O presente artigo analisa a chegada, a atuação escolar e missionária das religiosas da Congregação das “Irmãs Escolares de Nossa Senhora”, em Forquilhinha, Santa Catarina, Brasil, no início do século XX. A Congregação foi fundada na Alemanha, no ano de 1833, pela religiosa Maria Teresa de Jesus Gerhardinger e expandiu-se para diferentes continentes com o objetivo de auxiliar na educação escolar e catequética de crianças e adultos, em especial em localidades onde haviam colônias de migrantes de origem alemã. A pesquisa utilizou como fonte central do estudo o livro de Crônicas do Colégio Sagrada Família, escrito pelas freiras da Congregação. Referido livro de Crônicas se apresenta como um meritório documento histórico em razão de seus registros, que relatam o processo de saída da Alemanha até a chegada das Irmãs Escolares na então colônia alemã de Forquilhinha. Nele se encontram registros sobre as dificuldades encontradas, as realizações e os trabalhos escolares e catequéticos realizados tanto na escola como na comunidade.
How Auditors' Fraud Inquiry Strategies Can Increase the Likelihood of Whistleblowing
Authors: Lauck John R. , Perreault Stephen J. , Rakestraw Joseph R. , Wainberg James S. 
Published: October 2021

SUMMARY
This article summarizes a study (Lauck, Perreault, Rakestraw, and Wainberg 2020) in which we examine best practices for auditors conducting client inquiry. We find that reminding client-employees about the statutory protections available for public company whistleblowers and conducting fraud inquires later in the day are two strategies that increase the likelihood that a client-employee will disclose suspected fraud to an external auditor during the client fraud inquiries required by auditing standards. Although not specifically investigated, our findings may also hold for fraud examination or forensic accounting interview scenarios.
A Picture is Worth a Thousand Journal Entries: Accounting Graph Topology for Auditing and Fraud Detection
Authors: Guo Ken H. , Yu Xiaoxiao , Wilkin Carla 
Published: October 2021

ABSTRACT
Although journal entries are an important component of modern accounting, existing research and practice in auditing and fraud detection have not fully exploited the information made available by the double-entry mechanism. This paper proposes a theory-based methodology, accounting graph topology, to visualize journal entries and explicate within- and between-entry relationships. Grounded in cognitive fit theory and graph theory, this methodology can help auditors identify potential internal control issues and problematic transactions for further investigation. We illustrate the benefits of accounting graph topology by applying it to a case study.
The Effect of Accrual Heterogeneity on Accrual Quality Inferences
Authors: Dechow Patricia M. , Larson Chad R. , Resutek Robert J. 
Published: October 2021

ABSTRACT
We investigate the impact of the mixed attribute GAAP measurement model on accrual quality inferences. GAAP rules vary from an income statement “matching” focus to a balance sheet “fair-value” focus. Accrual properties are also affected by the business activity being measured and the activity's recurrence. Furthermore, accrual measurement is affected by managerial estimation error/manipulation. As a consequence, accruals are heterogeneous with predictably different statistical properties. We construct a dataset of more than 100,000 accrual items that Compustat aggregates into data item FOPO. We classify these accruals into 32 types over a 21-year span. We show that variation in persistence for the 32 accrual types is consistent with our predictions concerning GAAP rules. We provide a model of accruals and show that it is implausible for estimation error of reasonable magnitudes to explain this variation. Finally, we develop a measure of reporting consistency and show its impact on accrual quality inferences.
Trend of Diabetes-Related Hospital Admissions During the Transition Period From Adolescence to Adulthood in the State of California
Authors: Nip Angel Siu Ying , Lodish Maya 
Published: October 2021

OBJECTIVE
This study examined the incidence of diabetes-related hospital admissions and described the characteristics among youth and emerging adults with type 1 (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) in California.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
A retrospective study was conducted using the statewide inpatient database during the years 2014–2018. Individuals aged 13–24 years hospitalized with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) or severe hypoglycemia (SH) were recorded. Demographic characteristics and health measures among youth (ages 13–18) and young adults (ages 19–24) were compared.

RESULTS
A total of 34,749 admission encounters for T1D and 3,304 for T2D were analyzed. Hospitalization rates significantly increased with age during the transition to adulthood, from 70/100,000 California population at age 17 to 132/100,000 at age 19 in T1D. Higher hospitalization rates were demonstrated in young adults than in youth in T1D, and the rate was significantly higher in Black young adults (23.9%) than in youth (12.0%) among the age-adjusted population with diabetes (P &lt; 0.0001). More young adults admitted were on public insurance, and approximately half were from the lowest income quartile. No difference was observed in hospital length of stay; however, hospital charges were higher among young adults. Young adults were three times more likely to be admitted for severe conditions.

CONCLUSIONS
We demonstrated a significant rise in hospital admission during the transition period in individuals with T1D. There were significantly more Black young adults who were on public insurance and had lower socioeconomic status. Our findings suggest that the health care system fails many emerging adults with diabetes, particularly for people of color, and that improving medical transition is crucial.
Labour Taxation and its Impact on Economic Growth – Complex Analysis
Authors: Macek Rudolf 
Published: October 2021

AbstractThe aim of the article is to provide a complex analysis of labour taxation impact on economic growth in OECD countries. As main approximators of taxation, implicit tax rates and the World Tax Index are used. Methods and tests of dynamic panel regression with the Arellano-Bond estimator are used from the methodological point of view. From the results of complex analysis, it is evident that there exists a non-linear relationship between tax revenues (implicit tax rates, world tax index) and tax burden (tax rates). There also exists a negative relationship between labour taxation and economic growth and the impact of labour taxation is the most harmful for economic growth. Therefore, in an effort to stimulate economic growth, labour taxation expressed by personal income taxes and social security contributions should be reduced.
Means Against the Rule of Nobody
Authors: Pečarič Mirko 
Published: October 2021

AbstractThis paper presents means by which relations between facts and decisions can be put on a higher, more transparent and accountable level. The complexity of relations, their exponential effects, new technology and numerous rules have increased the public administration’s unaccountability for its actions – if it is even possible to talk about accountability at all. This kind of situation is presented as the rule of nobody that through multiple relations, competencies and division of labour diminishes the possibility to view a situation as a whole, and enhances the distinction between a person’s formal role and his inner personal world. Classical decision-making procedures (more or less still) exclude interactions between political-legal and scientific institutions on one side and between the first and social groups on the other about modern risks that go beyond classical factory-related or occupational hazards. If the presented means (performance indicators, the avoidance of exclusive subjective evidence, the use of probability in individual cases, the right to clear information, the office for legislation and regulatory analysis and an IT platform) were formally integrated into decision-making, they could enable democratisation, for which the non-stop present and available communication links are sine qua non.
The Legal-Theoretical Terms of Citizen Participation in the Administration of Public Affairs in the Slovak Republic
Authors: Kováčová Eleonóra 
Published: October 2021

Abstract
The level of development of every country is reflected in constitutional regulation and consequent laws that regulate citizens’ rights to participate in the administration of public affairs. The Constitution of the Slovak Republic and related constitutional laws establish the democratic and constitutional basis of the legal state of the Slovak Republic. The establishment of the Slovak Republic in 1993 required reformulating and enacting all rights and symbols of the state. The principle “the state’s power derives from the citizens” is embedded in the Constitution. However, doubts are currently being raised as to whether the citizens participate in the administration of public affairs in the estimated range and in the appropriate manner as it is embedded in the Constitution of the Slovak Republic. The scope of the article is extensive, due to the character of the selected problems. This also affected the main goal of the article. Since the aim is considerably large, it was necessary to define several partial objectives. At the same time, it was desirable to examine other indicators that contributed to the main aim. The aim of the article was to summarize, analyze and categorize the available facts about the legal-theoretical terms for the participation of citizens in public life in the conditions of the Slovak Republic, as well as within the EU.

Published: October 2021

Abstract

Introduction
Teachers in Slovenia have been noticing the increased consumption of energy drinks among pupils. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate habits that contribute to the frequency of energy drink consumption.

Method
36 teens participated in the study: elementary school pupils (6th and 8th grades), general upper secondary school pupils, and secondary technical school pupils (1st and 3rd year). In the course of the study 6 group interviews were held to help investigate young people’s habits and their reasons for energy drink purchase and consumption. Moreover, we investigated the influence of age on the consumption and knowledge about energy drink ingredients, as well as their influence on the body.

Results
Interview analysis showed that energy drink consumers are predominantly secondary school pupils. Their choice most frequently depends on the price, their taste, or the brand. What influences elementary school pupils’ purchasing decisions are price, packaging, and advertisements, while secondary school pupils choose their drinks according to the lack of energy and how tired they feel. The predominant factors preventing energy drink consumption are health problems among family members and friends. Secondary school pupils know more about energy drink ingredients than elementary school pupils.

Conclusion
On the basis of these findings, we will design a survey questionnaire for Slovenian teenagers and teachers, didactic material, and suggestions for improving educational programmes.
Flupirtine in the Management of Taxane-induced Pain in Cancer Patients
Authors: Paul Anusha , Razak M. Abdul , Binoy Ameya , Devi Padma Uma , Pavithran Keechilat 
Published: October 2021

Objectives:
Paclitaxel and docetaxel are two commonly used chemotherapeutic agents in the treatment of various types of cancers. However, debilitating taxane-induced arthralgia and myalgia are among the most common adverse reactions associated with taxanes, which has greatly influenced medical practitioners. Most of the mild and moderate analgesics were found to be less effective in the management of taxane induced pain. So we used flupirtine, a non-opioid analgesic, in the treatment of taxane-induced pain.

Materials and Methods:
In this study, we analysed the baseline pain score and follow-up data of 60 patients receiving a taxane-based chemotherapy regimen. Baseline data of these study populations experiencing significant taxane-induced pain were compared with follow-up data after treating them with analgesic flupirtine (200 mg/day). The baseline and follow-up data representing pain were assessed with the help of the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), and the quality of life was determined using the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) scale questionnaire.

Results:
The mean baseline and follow-up VAS score was compared using paired sample t-test, which showed a significant reduction in taxane-induced pain after treatment with flupirtine (P < 0.001). Similarly, the mean BPI score representing the quality of life before and after treatment with flupirtine was compared, and a notable improvement in quality of life was seen after treatment with flupirtine. The mean and follow-up data of aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase levels of patients were also compared to assess the adverse drug reaction profile of the drug, and the analyzed data was found to be statistically insignificant (no significant liver toxicity) which indicates that drug can be used effectively for a period of <2 weeks.

Conclusion:
We believe that flupirtine can be used as an effective analgesic in dire situations where patients require opioid analgesics for the management of taxane-induced pain, provided that the drug is given for <2 weeks to avoid drug-related hepatotoxicity.
