A text-Image feature mapping algorithm based on transfer learning
Authors: Pan Deng , Yang Hyunho 
Published: January 2019

Abstract
The traditional uniform distribution algorithm does not filter the image data when extracting the approximate features of text-image data under the event, so the similarity between the image data and the text is low, which leads to low accuracy of the algorithm. This paper proposes a text-image feature mapping algorithm based on transfer learning. The existing data is filtered by ‘clustering technology’ to obtain similar data with the target data. The significant text features are calculated through the latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) model and information gain based on Gibbs sampling. Bag of visual word (BOVW) model and Naive Bayesian method are used to model image data. With the help of the text-image co-occurrence data in the same event, the text feature distribution is mapped to the image feature space, and the feature distribution of image data under the same event is approximated. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can obtain the feature distribution of image data under different events, and the average cosine similarity is as high as 92%, the average dispersion is as low as 0.06%, and the accuracy of the algorithm is high.

Authors: Kruk Marzena Sylwia 
Published: January 2019

Abstract
Contemporary discourse on the international and national level of individual countries concerning the dilemma of sustainable development and the future of societies pays particular attention to the phenomenon of migration in Europe. The article aims to identify social factors, especially migration processes, affecting sustainable development in Europe and Poland. Synchronization of economic, social and environmental capital is to prevent the creation of one-line development plans. In addition, it is intended to eliminate potential conflicts related to uneven development. The starting point for the considerations is the definition proposed by I. Sachs "Sustainable development is a process by which it is possible to harmonize the exploitation of all natural resources, direct investment and technical and institutional changes, as well as meet the current and future needs of people according to the production and assimilation capacity of ecosystems" (Sachs, 2000) [Own translation from Polish].Specific questions and research problems arise What impact do contemporary migration processes have on sustainable development? Is sustainable development possible in a situation of growing social disproportions? How do economic migrants affect sustainable development? Foreign students, (migrants), as the capital building large urban centers.

Authors: Saeed Abdullah , Saleh Shayem 
Published: January 2019

AbstractThis paper aims to examine the financial depth and efficiency and economic growth nexus in the context of Saudi Arabia and Oman. In particular, this paper addresses on how financial depth and efficiency relate to economic growth and the causal relation between financial depth and efficiency and the economic growth in Saudi Arabia and Oman. Methodological wise, this study employs a panel data of Saudi Arabia and Oman over the period of 1990 - 2015 and uses the determination of line of best to analyze the causal relations. The empirical results show that financial deepening have desirable effects on the economic growth in Oman, while increasing financial depth and efficiency has detrimental impact to economic growth of Saudi Arabia. Based on these empirical facts, we conclude that the financial deepening in Saudi Arabia is not an economic prioritized strategy, but financial deepening is an economic prioritized strategy in Oman. Two main policy implications are reached.

Play as Imitation of Life: The Relation between Mother, Child and Toy in Little Brother™
Authors: Korucu Arzu 
Published: January 2019

Abstract
Bernard Shaw describes the important role of play in the cultural development of the individual with his famous quotation: “We don’t cease to play because we grow old; we grow old because we cease to play.” On the other hand, Donald Winnicott summarizes his basic thesis claiming that “Cultural experience begins with creative living first manifested as play.” In this study, I aim to analyse how the mysterious interaction between mother and child appears in Bruce Holland Rogers’s story named Little BrotherTM through the lens of Freud’s, Jung’s and Winnicott’s theories.

Published: January 2019

Abstract
Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) is the most common pollution related to mining. It consists of an aqueous solution containing high metals and sulphate concentration, which impact surface and groundwater and lead to serious environmental problems. Low pH and high concentrations of heavy metals and sulphates are limiting for many various treatment technologies in these acidic waters. Ion - exchange is a very powerful technology where one or more undesirable contaminants are removed from water by exchange with another non-objectionable or less objectionable substance. Many of materials for the ion - exchange treatment is available in a variety forms and have widely differing chemical and physical properties. The paper deals with study of ion - exchange process under static and dynamic conditions for sulphate removal from acidic waters using ion - exchange resin with the aim to apply the results for treatment of acid mine drainage. Two types of experiments were performed under static and dynamic conditions. The efficiency of AMBERLITE MB20 resin for SO4 2- removal from model solution H2SO4 under static conditions decreases from 86.6 % for concentration 100 mg/L to efficiency 66.9 % for concertation 1000 mg/L. The efficiency for sulphate removal from AMD was only 41%. The study also presents three experiments under dynamic conditions, one with new ion - exchange resin a two experiments with its regenerated form. It was find that ion-exchange capacity decreases numbers of regeneration steps.

Authors: He Xiaocong , Xiao Lingfei 
Published: January 2019

Abstract
This paper presents a robust fault identification scheme based on fractional-order integral sliding mode observer (FOISMO) for turbofan engine sensors with uncertainties. The equilibrium manifold expansion (EME) model is introduced due to its simplicity and accuracy for nonlinear system. A fractional-order integral sliding mode observer is designed to reconstruct faults on sensors, in which the fractional-order integral sliding surface guarantees the fast convergence of reconstruction. The observer parameters is selected according to L2 gain theory in order to minimize the effect of uncertainties on the fault reconstruction signal. Simulations in Matlab/Simulink show high reconstruction accuracy of the proposed method despite the present of uncertainties.

Published: January 2019

AbstractTheWWOXgene has a WW domain containing oxidoreductase, which is located at the common fragile site FRA16D at chromosome 16q23.WWOXis a tumor suppressor gene that has been associated with several types of cancer such as hepatic, breast, lung, prostate, gastric, and ovarian. Recently WWOX has been implicated in epilepsy, where studies show homozygous loss-of-function mutation lead to early-infantile epileptic encephalopathy, spinocerebellar ataxia, intractable seizures and developmental delay, and early lethal microcephaly syndrome with epilepsy. Here we investigate two consanguineous Saudi families and we identified three probands with epileptic encephalopathy. Whole exome sequencing revealed a novel homozygous mutation in theWWOXgene in one proband. In addition, we identified a previously reportedWWOXmutation in two probands. Later on these findings were confirmed with Sanger sequencing. The underlying mechanism on how WWOX mutations lead to seizure remains elusive. To date very fewWWOXmutations have been associated with neurological disorder and our newly identified mutations support the notion that WWOX play an important role in neurons and will aid in better diagnosis and genetic counseling.
Transcriptional Basis of Copper-Induced Olfactory Impairment in the Sea Lamprey, a Primitive Invasive Fish
Authors: Jones Jenna , Wellband Kyle , Zielinski Barbara , Heath Daniel D 
Published: January 2019

AbstractOlfaction mediates behaviors necessary for survival and reproduction in fishes. Anthropogenic inputs of contaminants into aquatic environments, specifically copper, are known to disrupt a broad range of olfactory-mediated behaviors and can cause long-lasting damage even at low concentrations that have profound impacts on the biology of aquatic organisms. The sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) is a primitive fish species invasive to the North American Great Lakes that relies on olfaction to navigate during natal homing and in mate choice during reproduction. To investigate effects of copper on sea lamprey olfaction and the potential for maintenance of olfactory function during copper exposure, we exposed juvenile sea lamprey to environmentally ecologically relevant copper concentrations (0, 5, 10 and 30 µg/L) for 24 hr and characterized gene transcription response in olfactory tissue (i.e., peripheral olfactory organ and olfactory bulb) and forebrain using whole transcriptome sequencing. Copper exposure induced a pattern of positive dose-dependent transcriptional response. Expression changes primarily reflected up-regulation of genes involved in apoptosis and wound healing. Unlike higher vertebrates, genes specifically related to the olfactory senses of the sea lamprey, e.g., olfactory receptors, exhibited little transcriptional response to copper exposure, suggesting the mechanism of copper-induced olfactory impairment is through necrosis of the olfactory bulb and not copper-selective inhibition of olfactory receptors. Fully two-thirds of the differentially expressed genes at higher doses of copper have no known function and thus represent important candidates for further study of the responses to copper-induced olfactory injury. Our results shed light on the evolution of vertebrate olfactory repair mechanisms and have important implications for the conservation and management of both invasive and native populations of lamprey.

AbstractNumerous quantitative trait loci (QTL) have been mapped in tetraploid and hexaploid wheat and wheat relatives, mostly with simple sequence repeat (SSR) or single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers. To conduct meta-analysis of QTL requires projecting them onto a common genomic framework, either a consensus genetic map or genomic sequence. The latter strategy is pursued here. Of 774 QTL mapped in wheat and wheat relatives found in the literature, 585 (75.6%) were successfully projected onto the Aegilops tauschii pseudomolecules. QTL mapped with SNP markers were more successfully projected (92.2%) than those mapped with SSR markers (66.2%). The QTL were not distributed homogeneously along chromosome arms. Their frequencies increased in the proximal-to-distal direction but declined in the most distal regions and were weakly correlated with recombination rates along the chromosome arms. Databases for projected SSR markers and QTL were constructed and incorporated into the Ae. tauschii JBrowse. To facilitate meta-QTL analysis, eight clusters of QTL were used to estimate standard deviations (σ^) of independently mapped QTL projected onto the Ae. tauschii genome sequence. The standard deviations σ^ were modeled as an exponential decay function of recombination rates along the Ae. tauschii chromosomes. We implemented four hypothesis tests for determining the membership of query QTL. The hypothesis tests and estimation procedure for σ^ were implemented in a web portal for meta-analysis of projected QTL. Twenty-one QTL for Fusarium head blight resistance mapped on wheat chromosomes 3A, 3B, and 3D were analyzed to illustrate the use of the portal for meta-QTL analyses.

Objective
To determine the effectiveness of phlebectomy and topic saline in patients with leg ulcer caused by isolated superficial vein reflux.
Materials and methods
One hundred and thirty consecutive patients with 143 ulcers were operated for superficial varicose veins and venous ulcer. Patients with deep reflux, peripheral arterial disease (ankle/brachial index <0.9), diabetes, history of circular venous ulcer, malignancies, mental disorders, musculoskeletal diseases limiting patient’s physical activity and edema of non venous origin were excluded from the study. Past history data were recorded by questionnaires which included the duration of the ulcer, the number of recurrences, characteristic of compression therapy and topic agents used for ulcer care. Ulcer size was evaluated according to its largest dimension. Operations were performed under regional anaesthesia. All patients were followed at 1, 3, 6, 12 and 24 months. No compression therapy was advocated postoperatively.
Results
Ulcer manifestation span was from 1 to 33 years, 6.47±0.55 years on the average (p < 0.0001). Preoperative compression therapy was inadequate in all patients, local treatment was carried out with large range of antiseptic solutions. Postoperative healing rate at 3 months was as follows: 95.8% for ulcers < 3 cm , 79% and 37.7% for ulcers 3-6 cm and >6 cm respectively. The healing process was complete in 135 (94.4%) ulcers at 1 year. One healed ulcer (0.7%) recurred between 6 and 12 months, 7 ulcers >6 cm showed reepithelialization being in process.
Conclusion
Phlebectomy in cases of isolated superficial vein reflux is able to heal venous ulcers in majority of patients. The healing rate was correlative with ulcer size and duration. Surgery plus saline-gauze local treatment significantly reduced the costs of venous ulcer treatment.

Iatrogenic rectovaginal (proctovaginal) fistula is a rare and difficult complication in the treatment of rectal and gynecological cancers. A variety of procedures have been described to treat this condition, but none of them has become an ideal solution. Graciloplasty is a successful and recommended method of surgery, especially in very complicated cases (in patients after radiotherapy, with local colorectal chronic infection or reccurent fistulas). This article presents a history of one patient treated in our surgical clinic. We give a revew of other authors’ experience with m. gracilis transposition and some material on rectovaginal fistula that may be beneficial for those treating this condition.

[full article and abstract in Lithuanian; abstract in English]
This article examines the uses of Catholic corporatist theory among Catholic social theorists in Lithuania during the interwar period, with particular focus on the social theory of Pranas Dielininkaitis (1902– 1942). Dielininkaitis, who received his doctoral degree in sociology at Paris University in 1933, acted as a transmitter of Catholic social theory in Lithuania. In 1934, he participated in the summer school on Catholic state theory in Switzerland. Later on, Dielininkaitis drew on his Swiss influences and used the existing framework of Catholic sociology to develop and promote his own concept of corporatism. Like many other Catholic social theorists, Dielininkaitis saw corporatism as a “third way” between capitalist and socialist economic systems. Interestingly, Dielininkaitis limited Catholic corporatism to social and economic spheres and separated it from political implications. However, in his considerations on the political crisis in France, Dielininkaitis maintained that the political form is an expression of social life. Therefore, his separation of corporatism from the political sphere still remained problematic on a theoretical level; the perceived connection between political order and social life implied that Dielininkaitis’s concept of social and economic corporatism was open to a redefinition into a political project.

Arsenijus Formakovas (1900–1983), tarpukario metais Latvijoje gyvenęs rusų poetas, prozininkas, publicistas, memuaristas savo eilėraščiuose orientavosi į urbanistinę Igorio Severianino poeziją ir polemizavo su Nikolajaus Kliujevo bei Sergejaus Jesenino rusiškojo kaimo poetizavimu. Tačiau Formakovo publicistikoje ir prozoje aptinkamas geranoriškas dėmesys Jeseninui ir jo kūrybai. Po Jesenino mirties Formakovas paskelbė keletą straipsnių ir apybraižų, skirtų rusų poetui ir jo atminimui. Straipsnyje detaliai analizuojamos Jesenino tema, poeto eilėraščių citatos, aliuzijos į tuometinę kritiką ir memuarus Formakovo romane Faina (1938). Analizė leidžia teigti, kad romano tekste paslėpta jo autoriaus meilė Sergejui Jeseninui, kuris kartu su Aleksandru Bloku romano Faina autoriaus sąmonėje įkūnija tėvynės vaizdą.
