Published: September 2023

In modern online services, it is of growing importance to process web-scale
graph data
and
high-dimensional sparse data
together into embeddings for downstream tasks, such as recommendation, advertisement, prediction, and classification. There exist learning methods and systems for either high-dimensional sparse data or graphs, but not both.

There is an urgent need in industry to have a system to efficiently process both types of data for higher business value, which however, is challenging. The data in Tencent contains billions of samples with sparse features in very high dimensions, and graphs are also with billions of nodes and edges. Moreover, learning models often perform expensive operations with high computational costs. It is difficult to store, manage, and retrieve massive sparse data and graph data together, since they exhibit different characteristics.
We present EmbedX, an industrial distributed learning framework from Tencent, which is versatile and efficient to support embedding on both graphs and high-dimensional sparse data. EmbedX consists of distributed server layers for graph and sparse data management, and optimized parameter and graph operators, to efficiently support 4 categories of methods, including deep learning models on high-dimensional sparse data, network embedding methods, graph neural networks, and in-house developed joint learning models on both types of data. Extensive experiments on massive Tencent data and public data demonstrate the superiority of EmbedX. For instance, on a Tencent dataset with 1.3 billion nodes, 35 billion edges, and 2.8 billion samples with sparse features in 1.6 billion dimension, EmbedX performs an order of magnitude faster for training and our joint models achieve superior effectiveness. EmbedX is deployed in Tencent. A/B test on real use cases further validates the power of EmbedX. EmbedX is implemented in C++ and open-sourced at https://github.com/Tencent/embedx.

Published: September 2023

Time series forecasting, that predicts events through a sequence of time, has received increasing attention in past decades. The diverse range of time series forecasting models presents a challenge for selecting the most suitable model for a given dataset. As such, the Alibaba Cloud database monitoring system must address the issue of selecting an optimal forecasting model for a single time series data. While several model selection frameworks, including AutoAI-TS, have been developed to predict a dataset, their effectiveness may be limited as they may not adapt well to all types of time series, resulting in reduced prediction accuracy. Alternatively, models such as AutoForecast, which train on individual data points, may offer better adaptability but are limited by longer training time required.
In this paper, we introduce SimpleTS, a versatile framework for time series forecasting that exhibits high efficiency and accuracy across all types of time series data. When performing an online prediction task, SimpleTS first classifies input time series into one type, and then efficiently selects the most suitable prediction model for this type. To optimize performance, SimpleTS (i) clusters models with similar performance to improve the efficiency of classification; (ii) uses soft labeling and weighted representation learning to achieve higher classification accuracy for different time series types. Extensive experiments on 3 private datasets and 52 public datasets show that SimpleTS outperforms the state-of-the-art toolkits in terms of both training time and prediction accuracy.
Full-Power Graph Querying: State of the Art and Challenges
Authors: Manolescu Ioana , Mohanty Madhulika 
Published: September 2023

Graph databases are enjoying enormous popularity, through both their RDF and Property Graphs (PG) incarnations, in a variety of applications. To query graphs, query languages provide structured, as well as unstructured primitives. While structured queries allow expressing precise information needs, they are unsuited for exploring unfamiliar datasets, as they require prior knowledge of the schema and structure of the dataset. Prior research on keyword search in graph databases do not suffer from this limitation. However, keyword queries do not allow expressing precise search criteria when users do know some.This tutorial (1.5 hours) builds a continuum between structured graph querying through languages such as SPARQL and GPML, a recently proposed standard for PG querying, on one hand, and graph keyword search, on the other hand. In this space between querying and information retrieval, we analyze the features of modern query languages that go toward unstructured search, discuss their strength, limitations, and compare their computational complexity. In particular, we focus on (i) lessons learned from the rich literature of graph keyword search, in particular with respect to result scoring; (ii) language mechanisms for integratingbothcomplex structured querying and powerful methods to search for connections users do not know in advance. We conclude by discussing the open challenges and future work directions.
DuckPGQ: Bringing SQL/PGQ to DuckDB
Authors: Wolde Daniel ten , Szárnyas Gábor , Boncz Peter 
Published: September 2023

We demonstrate the most important new feature of SQL:2023, namely SQL/PGQ, which eases querying graphs using SQL by introducing new syntax for pattern matching and (shortest) path-finding. We show how support for SQL/PGQ can be integrated into an RDBMS, specifically in the DuckDB system, using an extension module called DuckPGQ. As such, we also demonstrate the use of the DuckDB extensibility mechanism, which allows us to add new functions, data types, operators, optimizer rules, storage systems, and even parsers to DuckDB. We also describe the new data structures and algorithms that the DuckPGQ module is based on, and how they are injected into SQL plans.
While the demonstrated DuckPGQ extension module is lean and efficient, we sketch a roadmap to (i) improve its performance through new algorithms (factorized and WCOJ) and better parallelism and (ii) extend its functionality to scenarios beyond SQL, e.g., building and analyzing Graph Neural Networks.
Romania: Historiography on Holocaust and Postwar Justice Studies
Authors: Grec Emanuel-Marius 
Published: September 2023

AbstractResearch on the Holocaust in Romania does, as an area of research, fare so much better than other case studies in terms of interest and researchers dedicating their time to study it. In this context, a brief overview of historiography on the Holocaust in Romania must take into account a few key factors: access to archives on Holocaust-related files, evolution of the subject within larger historical narratives of Romanian history of the 20th century, trends in Holocaust research in the last few years both in Romania and abroad, as well as the dynamic between historical research and public memory in Romania. Nevertheless, and in relation to this historiographical forum, despite its relative development, one aspect related to the Holocaust in Romania has drawn significantly less scholarly attention:war crimes trials and the efforts at postwar justice.Because of this under-research, although the documentation is especially relevant in terms of archives, the following contribution focuses on the importance of the study of the postwar trials for the field after outlining the main features of the historiography on the Holocaust in Romania.
Characteristics of Malaysian 16-year-old girls who reported regular binge eating episodes and the associated risk factors: a descriptive study

Abstract

Objectives
Adolescents may suffer from binge eating (BE), that refers to consuming a large amount of food in a short period of time and accompanied by feelings of loss of control (LOC) over eating. This study compared the prevalence of BE between 16-year-old Malaysian girls from two types of public schools, Malay-English-medium and Chinese-Malay-English-medium schools. Additionally, this study identified associated risk factors of those who presented regular BE episodes, including LOC eating, anxiety, body mass index (BMI), body dissatisfaction (BD) and eating disorders (EDs) psychopathology.

Methods
398 participants completed self-reports assessing BE symptoms, LOC eating, state anxiety, trait anxiety, EDs psychopathology, and BD. They also reported heights and weights. Descriptive statistics, t-tests, chi-square tests, and Z-test for independent proportions were conducted.

Results
There was no significant difference in either the prevalence of BE or EDs psychopathology between participants from the two types of schools. 71 (17.8 %) participants reported moderate-to-severe symptoms of BE, and 46 (11.6 %) reported moderate-to-severe levels of LOC eating. Those who reported moderate-to-severe symptoms of BE reported significantly higher levels of LOC eating, BD, drive to be thinner, BMI, state anxiety, and EDs psychopathology, compared to those who reported none-to-minimal BE.

Conclusions
BE and LOC eating appeared to be relatively common among secondary school girls in Malaysia. The relatively high prevalence of BE amongst adolescents in our sample highlighted the importance of early identification of signs for BE as preventive measures from developing EDs psychopathology among children and adolescents. We propose that attitudes towards eating and body image-related concerns should be included in school screenings aimed at preventing psychological problems in minors.
Casein kinase 1 and 2 phosphorylate Argonaute proteins to regulate miRNA‐mediated gene silencing

Published: September 2023

AbstractMicroRNAs (miRNAs) together with Argonaute (AGO) proteins form the core of the RNA‐induced silencing complex (RISC) to regulate gene expression of their target RNAs post‐transcriptionally. Argonaute proteins are subjected to intensive regulation via various post‐translational modifications that can affect their stability, silencing efficacy and specificity for targeted gene regulation. We report here that in Caenorhabditis elegans, two conserved serine/threonine kinases – casein kinase 1 alpha 1 (CK1A1) and casein kinase 2 (CK2) – regulate a highly conserved phosphorylation cluster of 4 Serine residues (S988:S998) on the miRNA‐specific AGO protein ALG‐1. We show that CK1A1 phosphorylates ALG‐1 at sites S992 and S995, while CK2 phosphorylates ALG‐1 at sites S988 and S998. Furthermore, we demonstrate that phospho‐mimicking mutants of the entire S988:S998 cluster rescue the various developmental defects observed upon depleting CK1A1 and CK2. In humans, we show that CK1A1 also acts as a priming kinase of this cluster on AGO2. Altogether, our data suggest that phosphorylation of AGO within the cluster by CK1A1 and CK2 is required for efficient miRISC‐target RNA binding and silencing.

Exploring Prospects, Challenges and Pathways to Economic and Sustainable Growth: Perception of Omani Fishermen
Authors: Shammakhi Badriya Nasser Said Al , Ravikumar Anitha , Meesaala Krishna Murthy , Puthukulam Gopalan , Sharma Ravi Vinodkumar 
Published: September 2023

Fishing is not lucrative among Omanis mainly due to lack of economic viability and Oman is roughly forgoing 2.4 billion Omani rial due to lack of active involvement of fishermen in the process of value chain of fishing despite many subsidies. If the country uses its fishing potential, it can create profitable, sustainable fishing sector that contributes significantly for economic diversification and employment generation. Developing a valid and reliable scale to measure fishermen's attitudes towards the fishery sector is an essential step in understanding the factors that influence their perceptions and behaviors. A well-designed scale can help those involved in fisheries decision making and researchers identify areas for improvement and develop targeted interventions to address issues in the fishery sector. Overall, the development of this questionnaire has provided a comprehensive understanding of the challenges facing fishermen and the prospects for the fisheries sector. The results suggest that the adoption of appropriate measures, such as improving access to finance, investing in new technologies, and strengthening government policies, can improve the livelihoods of fishermen and promote sustainable growth in the fisheries sector.
Isolated hypoglossal nerve palsy secondary to basilar artery compression: A case report and reviewing of electrodiagnostic evaluation of the hypoglossal nerve
Authors: Osbourn Spencer , Pike-Lee Tiffany 
Published: September 2023

Introduction: Hypoglossal nerve palsy causes ipsilateral tongue weakness, commonly presenting with dysphagia, dysarthria, or perceived tongue weakness. Vascular compression is a rare cause of isolated hypoglossal nerve palsies. Imaging and serologic labs are common parts of the evaluation of hypoglossal nerve palsies. Though less commonly used, electrodiagnostic studies can be important in the diagnostic evaluation of hypoglossal nerve palsies.

Case: We report a case of a 53-year-old man with dysphagia found to have a left hypoglossal nerve palsy secondary to vascular compression from the basilar artery confirmed by electrodiagnostic and radiographic studies and we provide a review of the electrodiagnostic evaluation of the hypoglossal nerve.
Gestación comercial y derechos fundamentales de las mujeres
Authors: Gimeno Reinoso Beatriz 
Published: September 2023

El presente artículo pretende poner de manifiesto que la crítica a la gestación comercial no puede hacerse sin una crítica radical al sistema económico neoliberal, ya que esta práctica se inserta de forma coherente en la manera en que el neoliberalismo construye sus relaciones sociales, tanto desde el punto de vista del género como de la clase. Y en segundo lugar que, aunque la crítica a la gestación comercial tiene ya varias décadas en el feminismo (especialmente en el feminismo anglosajón) es necesario, como ha hecho el feminismo con otras cuestiones, que dicha crítica se vaya depurando y especializando. En ese sentido este articulo estudia la manera en que la normalización acrítica de la gestación comercial puede afectar a la consideración social de la maternidad o al derecho al aborto.

Published: September 2023

Within the darśanic world, the Brahmasūtra is a seminal text that provides key insights into Upaniṣadic revelation. The recent creation of Mahāmahopādhyāya Bhadresh Swami’s Brahmasūtra-Svāminārāyaṇabhāṣya, a comprehensive Sanskrit commentary on the Brahmasūtra, presents unique readings of the text according to the teachings of the Akṣara-Puruṣottama Darśana as revealed by Bhagavān Svāminārāyaṇa. The commentary’s recent reception encourages further inquiry into its distinctive insights on Vedānta thought and the principles of the Akṣara-Puruṣottama Darśana. This article presents an English translation of the Brahmasūtra-Svāminārāyaṇabhāṣya’s exposition on the first aphorism: “athāto brahmajijñāsā,” in an effort to make the commentary’s expositions more accessible. In doing so, it highlights distinctive principles of the darśana, including its unique understanding of the nature and form of Akṣarabrahman and Parabrahman. To further contextualize the commentary, this article also presents an introduction to the darśanic commentarial tradition, focusing on the role, features, and significance of the Brahmasūtra commentaries and the Svāminārāyaṇabhāṣya.
Pandangan Teodisi Murtadha Muthahhari sebagai Jawaban Terhadap Problem of Evil
Authors: Hamdi Bil 
Published: September 2023

Abstrak
Masalah keburukan (problem of evil) merupakan salah satu senjata paling ampuh yang senantiasa digunakan penganut ateisme untuk menyerang eksistensi Tuhan yang diajarkan oleh agama-agama. Hadirnya keburukan, kejahatan, atau the evil dalam kehidupan merupakan persoalan filosofis yang menantang kepercayaan umat beragama untuk mendamaikan antara eksisnya Tuhan yang Maha Baik, Maha Mengetahui dan Maha Kuasa dengan fakta bahwa dalam kehidupan terdapat pula yang disebut keburukan. Konsepsi teistik tentang Tuhan telah menimbulkan persoalan yang sangat sulit karena Tuhan dengan Segala Kemahaan-Nya itu, mestinya bisa menciptakan kehidupan dunia yang jauh lebih baik daripada yang ada sekarang ini. Permasalahan keburukan ini telah menantang para teolog sekaligus filsuf serta dibahas dan memunculkan diskusi yang serius dan panjang untuk memberikan jawaban yang memuaskan dan tidak mencederai keadilan Tuhan. Para teolog dan filsuf hendak menunjukkan bahwa adanya kejahatan dan penderitaan tidak bertentangan, dengan kata lain konsisten dengan adanya Tuhan. Argumen-argumen yang mencoba untuk menanggapi masalah keburukan ini disebut teodisi. Salah-satu filosof sekaligus teolog yang ikut serta membahas dan menyumbangkan pemikiran teodisinya dalam menjawab persoalan keburukan dan kaitannya dengan keadilan ilahi adalah Murtadha Muthahhari. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk memaparkan pandangan teodisi Murtadha Muthahhari sebagai jawaban terhadap problem of evil. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan deskriptif. Hasilnya, penelitian ini menyimpulkan beberapa hal; pertama, keburukan adalah noneksistensi; kedua, keburukan adalah relatif; ketiga, dalam pandangan yang menyeluruh (holistik) keburukan memiliki faedah yang memberikan makna bagi kehidupan ini.
