Analysis and prediction of hotel ratings from crowdsourced data
Authors: Leal Fátima , Malheiro Benedita , Burguillo Juan Carlos 
Published: December 2018

Crowdsourcing has become an essential source of information for tourism stakeholders. Every day, tourists leave large volumes of feedback data in the form of posts, likes, textual reviews, and ratings in dedicated crowdsourcing platforms. This behavior makes the analysis of crowdsourced information strategic, allowing the discovery of important knowledge regarding tourists and tourism resources. This paper presents a survey on the analysis and prediction of hotel ratings from crowdsourced data, covering both off‐line (batch) and on‐line (stream‐based) processing. Specifically, it reports multiple rating‐based profiling, recommendation, and evaluation techniques. While most of the surveyed works adopt entity‐based multicriteria profiling, prerecommendation filtering, and off‐line processing, the latest hotel rating prediction trends include feature‐based, trust and reputation modeling, postrecommendation filtering, and on‐line processing. Additionally, since the volume of crowdsourced ratings tends to increase, the deployment of profiling and recommendation algorithms on high‐performance computing resources should be further explored.This article is categorized under:

“Consensus Building in Engagement Processes” for Reducing Risks in Developing Sustainable Pathways: Indigenous Interest as Core Elements of Engagement
Authors: Lieu Jenny , Virla Luis D. , Abel Ryan , Fitzpatrick Cecilia 
Published: December 2018

AbstractCanada is one of the top ten greenhouse gas (GHG) emitters in the world, and of the nation’s total, the province of Alberta was the biggest emitter primarily due to the fossil fuel industry and power generation. Alberta is currently facing a challenge to reduce GHG emissions in line with Canada’s obligations to meet Paris Agreement goals. Additionally, the oil sand deposits in Alberta are located on the traditional land of Indigenous communities; therefore, the development, regulation and consultation of this sector have a direct impact not only on emissions but also on the socioeconomic welfare of Indigenous communities. Thus, the transition towards a low-carbon pathway in the oil sand industry is closely connected to upholding the rights of Indigenous peoples. Meaningfully consulting with Indigenous peoples is essential when developing low-carbon pathways that impact the environment and wellbeing of the community. Failure to consult proposed changes with Indigenous communities can lead to risks for the government, the industry and the communities themselves. These risks have been prevalent in the current consultation process in Alberta which has led to litigation, creating mistrust between the government, industry and Indigenous community. Given this background, we present a Consensus Building in Engagement Processes framework that includes Indigenous consensus, knowledge, interests and rights as a focal point of a consultation process required for decision-making. The consultation process is presented within the context of land use decisions impacting a low-carbon future for oil sand development. The framework is based on seeking consensus from all parties involved and aims to help to reduce risks resulting from decisions that do not consider the interests and rights of communities most impacted by resource development or climate mitigation pathways.
Emergence, Reduction and the Identity and Individuation of Powers
Authors: Carruth Alexander Daniel 
Published: December 2018

AbstractOne recently popular way to characterise strong emergence is to say that emergent entities possessnovel causal powers. However, there is little agreement concerning the nature of powers. One controversy involves whether powers are single- or multi-track; that is, whether each power has only one manifestation type, or whether a single power can be directed towards a number of distinct manifestations. Another concernshowpowers operate: whether a lone power manifests when triggered by the presence of a suitable stimulus, or whether powers operate mutually such that several powers must ‘work together’ to bring about a particular manifestation. This paper examines how these distinctions—which can be cross-combined to frame four distinct accounts of the nature of powers—bear on the debate between emergentists and reductionists.

AbstractThis study aimed to evaluate the nutritional value of pasta enriched with legume or wheat gluten proteins and dried at varying temperature. A total of four isonitrogenous experimental diets were produced using gluten powder/wheat semolina (6/94, g/g) pasta and faba bean flour/wheat semolina (35/65, g/g) pasta dried at either 55°C (GLT and FLT, respectively) or 90°C (FVHT and GVHT, respectively). Experimental diets were fed to ten 1-month-old Wistar rats (body weight=176 (sem 15) g) for 21 d. Growth and nutritional, metabolic and inflammatory markers were measured and compared with an isonitrogenous casein diet (CD). The enrichment with faba bean increased the lysine, threonine and branched amino acids by 97, 23 and 10 %, respectively. Protein utilisation also increased by 75 % (P<0·01) in FLT in comparison to GLT diet, without any effect on the corrected faecal digestibility (P>0·05). Faba bean pasta diets' corrected protein digestibility and utilisation was only 3·5 and 9 %, respectively, lower than the CD. Growth rate, blood composition and muscle weights were not generally different with faba bean pasta diets compared with CD. Corrected protein digestibility was 3 % lower in GVHT than GLT, which may be associated with greater carboxymethyllysine. This study in growing rats clearly indicates improvement in growth performance of rats fed legume-enriched pasta diet compared with rats fed gluten–wheat pasta diet, regardless of pasta drying temperature. This means faba bean flour can be used to improve the protein quality and quantity of pasta.
Using human head lice to unravel neglect and cause of death
Authors: Lambiase Simonetta , Perotti M. Alejandra 
Published: December 2018

AbstractDespite the common association of human lice with abandoned or neglected people, no procedure to assess pediculosis, aimed to detect signs of neglect, exists. Investigating the two most common forms of head louse infestation, regular and severe, we define lice-markers of neglect and develop a protocol and survey form to record and assess pediculosis. The study of head lice from a deceased victim of neglect helped unravel time-length since death, frequency of exposure to neglect and the cause and circumstances related to the death. Nit-clusters are markers of neglect, indicating length and frequency of neglect episodes. In the case study used here that culminated in the death of the victim, sustained abandonment started circa 2 years before discovery. The lice suggested that death was caused by overconsumption of a powerful calcium channel blocker, an antihypertensive, an excess of which in lice food supply (blood) stops oogenesis. Despite hosting thousands of adult females on the hair, lice reproduction stopped and nits were no longer developed or deposited on the hairs at the root end. This short distance of the shaft with no nits provided a time estimation of overdosing of almost 2 months before death.

AbstractHigh‐resolution multispacecraft magnetic field measurements from the Magnetospheric Multiscale mission's flux‐gate magnetometer are employed to examine statistical properties of plasma turbulence in the terrestrial magnetosheath and in the solar wind. Quantities examined include wave number spectra; structure functions of order two, four, and six; probability density functions of increments; and scale‐dependent kurtoses of the magnetic field. We evaluate the Taylor frozen‐in approximation by comparing single‐spacecraft time series analysis with direct multispacecraft measurements, including evidence based on comparison of probability distribution functions. The statistics studied span spatial scales from the inertial range down to proton and electron scales. We find agreement of spectral estimates using three different methods, and evidence of intermittent turbulence in both magnetosheath and solar wind; however, evidence for subproton‐scale coherent structures, seen in the magnetosheath, is not found in the solar wind.
Multiple‐Scale Variations of Wind‐Generated Waves in the Southern California Bight

Published: December 2018

AbstractA numerical wave model is applied to study the wind‐generated wave in the Southern California Bight (SCB). Observational data available in this area are used to validate the numerical model results. The model is integrated for 10 years (2004–2013). The comparison of the model results with observations shows that the model well reproduces the wave variations in the SCB. The multiple‐scale variations in the wavefield are examined: interannual, seasonal, intraseasonal, and diurnal. The significant wave height and swell wave height distributions display distinct patterns during different seasons. On the interannual scale, the wave variation in the SCB is influenced by El Niño–Southern Oscillation activities. Intraseasonal scale events occur frequently. Land/sea breezes cause the diurnal variation. The effects of topography (especially islands) and currents on waves are analyzed. The islands in the SCB provide significant sheltering effects to the coast from deep‐ocean waves. The effect of background currents on waves is discussed.
Contemporary GCM Fidelity in Representing the Diurnal Cycle of Precipitation Over the Maritime Continent

AbstractThis paper presents a multimodel assessment of fidelity in representation of the diurnal cycle of precipitation over the Maritime Continent (MC). Daily mean precipitation rate and amplitude and phase of the diurnal cycle are utilized to validate General Circulation Model (GCM) performance with respect to multiyear annual mean and seasonal cycle. The analysis shows that models' 6‐hourly temporal resolution and 2.5° spatial resolution is sufficient to depict key characteristic of diurnal precipitation. Results show that most models are sensitive to the existence of the MC and show different characteristics of subdaily precipitation. However, 19 out of 20 models underestimate the daily mean precipitation over the eastern Indian Ocean and most of them underestimate both daily mean precipitation and amplitude of the diurnal cycle, especially over islands within the region. Observations show that within the MC the diurnal cycle is higher over land than over ocean. Many models decrease this land‐sea contrast. Most models recognize difference in phase of the diurnal cycle between MC islands and surrounding ocean, but some of them show opposite phasing of the diurnal cycle. Results show that modern models perform better than past generation, sometimes comparably to regional models' run in much higher resolution. Although models perform well with respect to the seasonal cycle of the daily mean precipitation, they fail to realistically represent the seasonal evolution of the diurnal cycle amplitude. Additionally, models show no coherence in land‐ocean contrast derived from a multiyear average of daily mean precipitation and amplitude of the diurnal cycle.
On the Intensity of the Magnetic Superstorm of September 1909

Published: December 2018

AbstractAnalysis is made of solar observations and ground‐based magnetometer data recording space weather before and during the magnetic superstorm of 25 September 1909. From these data, it is inferred that the storm was initiated by an interplanetary coronal‐mass ejection having a mean Sun‐to‐Earth velocity of ~1,679 km/s. The commencement pressure on the magnetopause was ~32.4 nPa, sufficient to compress the subsolar magnetopause radius to ~5.9 Earth radii. Early on in the evolution of the storm, low‐latitude geomagnetic disturbance exhibited extreme longitudinal asymmetry, something that can be attributed to substorm activity extending to low latitudes. For this storm,Dstattained a minimum of −595 nT, comparable to that of the great magnetic storm of March 1989 (−589 nT; the most intense storm in terms ofDstof the space age). These results inform projects focused on understanding and mitigating the deleterious effects of extreme space‐weather events.

AbstractMany applications in urban areas require high‐resolution rainfall measurements. Typical operational weather radars can provide rainfall intensities at 1‐km2 grid cells every 5 min. Opportunistic sensing with commercial microwave links yields path‐averaged rainfall intensities (typically 0.1–10 km) within urban areas. Additionally, large amounts of urban in situ rainfall measurements from amateur weather observers are obtainable in real‐time. The accuracy of these three techniques is evaluated for an urban study area of 20 × 20 km, taking into account their respective network layouts and sampling characteristics. We use two simulated rainfall events described in terms of drop size distributions on a 100‐m grid and with a temporal resolution of 30 s. Accurate radar rainfall estimation with the Z‐R relationship relies heavily on an appropriate choice of parameters, and a dual‐polarization strategy is more suitable for higher intensities. Under ideal measurement conditions, the weather station network is the most promising, with a Pearson correlation coefficient above 0.86 and a relative bias below 4% for 100‐m rainfall estimates at 5‐min resolution. Microwave link rainfall observations contain the largest error, shown by a consistently larger coefficient of variation. The accuracy of all techniques improves when considering rainfall at larger scales, especially by increasing time intervals, with the strongest improvements found for microwave links for which errors are largely caused by their temporal sampling. Sparser networks are examined, showing that the decline in measurement accuracy only becomes significant when the link and station network density are reduced to less than half their levels in Amsterdam.

Published: December 2018

This case study examines the unique presentation of a young Palestinian American Muslim female who is a part of an ongoing longitudinal study examining family and peer relationships, psychological adjustment, and neuropsychological functioning in youth with spina bifida. Throughout 10 years of data collection, Palestinian-Arab culture and Islamic faith have consistently emerged as important factors that can be considered when interpreting this participant’s general level of autonomy, medical autonomy, medical adherence, and psychological adjustment. This case study examines important aspects of adaptive and independent functioning for youth with spina bifida and how this family’s culture interacts with these different domains of functioning. In order to fully capture this family’s distinct lived experience, this case study reviews both quantitative data and qualitative data, highlighting the importance of considering context when performing clinical research. Moreover, it explores potential conflicts between an Arab collectivist family structure and Western biomedical ethics and suggests how clinicians might navigate these conflicts and bolster culturally rooted strengths of families and patients from non-Western backgrounds. Implications for Impact Statement This case study examines the unique presentation of a young Palestinian American Muslim female with spina bifida myelomeningocele using data gathered from a longitudinal research study. Specifically, this case study explores how the participant’s faith and culture interact with different areas of adaptive functioning. This case study hopes to highlight potential conflicts that could arise between clinicians and patients related to differences between an Arab collectivist family structure and Western biomedical ethics.

Published: December 2018

While the term “transactional sex” has garnered increased attention, little is known about what it truly encompasses, or how it leads to HIV risk within the specific developmental period of adolescence. We therefore introduce a model to characterize why girls in in sub-Saharan Africa engage in transactional sex, and how this may contribute to their decisions around how, whether, and when to implement HIV/sexually transmitted infection (STI) prevention efforts. This model forms the foundation for our adolescent-specific HIV prevention efforts for young girls in sub-Saharan Africa. Within this topical review, we detail how this intervention has been adapted for cross-cultural fit and congruence, as well as for developmental factors in transactional sex decision-making, including practical avenues to navigate peer and partner risk. Together, this model and related HIV prevention program focus on empowering young girls in sub-Saharan Africa as they begin to make decisions about whether and when to engage in transactional sex, by providing girls with critical HIV risk reduction skills during this time of rapid transition into HIV/STI risk behavior. Implications for Impact Statement While “transactional sex” has gained recent attention, little is known about what it means, particularly for adolescent girls in sub-Saharan Africa, and how it is connected to critical health behaviors, including unprotected sex that leads to HIV. This is important, given that adolescents (ages <21) have very low rates of uptake and adherence to HIV prevention even when those options are available.

Published: December 2018

Adolescent and young adults’ (AYAs’) involvement in advance care planning and end-of-life discussions may enhance the decision-making process, reduce stress, and improve the patient’s quality of life. Given the importance of establishing adequate communication and having culturally appropriate tools to introduce advance care planning, our article describes the cross-cultural adaptation of the advance care planning guide, Voicing My CHOiCES™, in Australia and in Brazil. In Brazil, the process involved initially translating the document to Portuguese followed by evaluation by a group of providers and patients (aged 18–39) undergoing cancer treatment. The document was revised based on the feedback received, then back-translated to English and discussed with Voicing My CHOiCES authors to refine the final version in Portuguese. In Australia, a multiperspective interview-based study was undertaken with AYA cancer patients/survivors (aged 15–25), siblings, parents, and a range of health care providers from the oncology setting to determine the perceived acceptability of the tool within the Australian clinical context. These interviews pointed to a variety of recommended adaptations ranging from the aesthetic and linguistic, through to the restructuring of content within the tool. Adaptations for the Australian setting were then revised in an iterative capacity within several focus groups of AYA participants and health care providers. The processes used in both countries highlight ways to engage youth living with a life-limiting illness in conversations about advance care planning and how to develop culturally appropriate clinical tools. Implications for Impact Statement Engaging youth living with a life-limiting illness in conversations about advance care planning is critical to ensure that goals of care are understood and respected. Adapting gold-standard interventions to suit the unique cultural needs of different clinical contexts is essential in order to enable both patients and their health care providers to take “ownership” on how these sensitive interactions unfold. Closely examining the process of how two different cultures went through the cross-cultural adaptation of the planning guide, Voicing My CHOiCES provides guidance for others who may wish to adapt communication tools in the future.
