Published: June 2022

BackgroundOne common way to share health data for secondary analysis while meeting increasingly strict privacy regulations is to de-identify it. To demonstrate that the risk of re-identification is acceptably low, re-identification risk metrics are used. There is a dearth of good risk estimators modeling the attack scenario where an adversary selects a record from the microdata sample and attempts to match it with individuals in the population.ObjectivesDevelop an accurate risk estimator for the sample-to-population attack.MethodsA type of estimator based on creating a synthetic variant of a population dataset was developed to estimate the re-identification risk for an adversary performing a sample-to-population attack. The accuracy of the estimator was evaluated through a simulation on four different datasets in terms of estimation error. Two estimators were considered, a Gaussian copula and a d-vine copula. They were compared against three other estimators proposed in the literature.ResultsTaking the average of the two copula estimates consistently had a median error below 0.05 across all sampling fractions and true risk values. This was significantly more accurate than existing methods. A sensitivity analysis of the estimator accuracy based on variation in input parameter accuracy provides further application guidance. The estimator was then used to assess re-identification risk and de-identify a large Ontario COVID-19 behavioral survey dataset.ConclusionsThe average of two copula estimators consistently provides the most accurate re-identification risk estimate and can serve as a good basis for managing privacy risks when data are de-identified and shared.
A machine learning approach to identifying important features for achieving step thresholds in individuals with chronic stroke
Authors: Miller Allison E. , Russell Emily , Reisman Darcy S. , Kim Hyosub E. , Dinh Vu 
Published: June 2022

Background
While many factors are associated with stepping activity after stroke, there is significant variability across studies. One potential reason to explain this variability is that there are certain characteristics that are necessary to achieve greater stepping activity that differ from others that may need to be targeted to improve stepping activity.

Objective
Using two step thresholds (2500 steps/day, corresponding to home vs. community ambulation and 5500 steps/day, corresponding to achieving physical activity guidelines through walking), we applied 3 different algorithms to determine which predictors are most important to achieve these thresholds.

Methods
We analyzed data from 268 participants with stroke that included 25 demographic, performance-based and self-report variables. Step 1 of our analysis involved dimensionality reduction using lasso regularization. Step 2 applied drop column feature importance to compute the mean importance of each variable. We then assessed which predictors were important to all 3 mathematically unique algorithms.

Results
The number of relevant predictors was reduced from 25 to 7 for home vs. community and from 25 to 16 for aerobic thresholds. Drop column feature importance revealed that 6 Minute Walk Test and speed modulation were the only variables found to be important to all 3 algorithms (primary characteristics) for each respective threshold. Other variables related to readiness to change activity behavior and physical health, among others, were found to be important to one or two algorithms (ancillary characteristics).

Conclusions
Addressing physical capacity is necessary but not sufficient to achieve important step thresholds, as ancillary characteristics, such as readiness to change activity behavior and physical health may also need to be targeted. This delineation may explain heterogeneity across studies examining predictors of stepping activity in stroke.
Men, War and Film
Authors: Hawley Steve 
Published: June 2022

The Calling Blighty series of films produced by the Combined Kinematograph Service produced towards the end of the Second World War were one-reel films in which soldiers gave short spoken messages to the camera as a means of connecting the front line and the home front. These are the first ever films where men speak openly in their regional accents, and they have profound meaning for remembrance, documentary representation and the ecology of film in wartime.

Of the 400 films (or ‘issues’) made, 64 survive. Each of those contained around 25 individual messages. Men – and a very few women - from a particular city, town or region were grouped together for the films to make regional screenings back in UK cinemas and town halls possible. Personnel from all three services are featured, but the men are predominantly from the army units. Screenings took place at a cinema in the subjects’ local area and were usually organised by the regional Army Welfare Committee. The names and addresses of those to be invited to the screenings were sent to the UK along with the films.

Until now, these films have barely been researched, and yet are a valuable source of social history as well as representing a different mode from the mainstream of British wartime documentary. This book expands the history of Calling Blighty and places it in a broader context, both past and present. New research reveals the origins of the film series and draws comparisons with written and oral contemporary sources.

Steve Hawley is an artist/filmmaker whose work has been screened worldwide, and has collaborated closely with the North West Film Archive UK. He is emeritus professor at the Manchester Metropolitan University UK.

Using memoirs and diaries, Steve Hawley has researched the roles in the Burma campaign of participants in the surviving films, and traced over 160 of the families of the men – and two men still alive – and recreated these wartime screenings.

Hawley’s book is part description of the films, part reclamation of a largely unknown genre of wartime filmmaking, partly an account of the Burma campaign, and partly a discussion of war and memory. Engagingly and warmly written.

It will be of interest to scholars and researchers in the areas of war studies, especially those specializing in the social rather than military history of warfare, and historians of British wartime cinema and documentary. Also useful for an undergraduate audience, in history, media/film studies.

Potential for readers with an interest in the Second World War, particularly the war in Burma, and those with an interest in family history of the period.

Authors: Hoss Osni 
Published: June 2022

Objective: This research aims to systematize the evaluation of intangible assets, which serve as a subsidy in the decision-making process in the value management of companies, while the problem that this research aims to answer is how to evaluate companies with a focus on intangible assets.
Method: The approach of this research is managerial. Descriptive statistical analysis tools were applied used as measures of association of intangible assets variables. The scientific validation was developed in section 5 at the Itaipu Technological Park: overview of the methodology, objectives and issues; field procedures (access to the locations of information sources and formation of a competence cell); evaluation questions (application of the systematic developed in topic 4); guide for reporting the study and then presenting the results obtained.
Results: One of the knowledge gaps, addressed in this research, reveals the scientific finding to evaluate intangible assets in non-profit organizations at the Itaipu Technological Park - PTI, which showed the value of 1.05 billion while accounting presented its total assets with 221.1 million.
Contributions: The contributions were the discovery of flaws in the models that evaluate intangible assets as being the difference between market and book value, as well as the existence of an interrelated dependence on intangible assets due to its value being closely linked with the conditions necessary for the generation of wealth in terms of people, processes, structure and relational as market factors, also the systematization of the evaluation of intangible assets for non-profit organizations.
Keywords: Intangible assets, evaluation, value added.
AGENT-BASED MODEL AND MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING: CULTURE-CONTINGENT MANAGERIAL BEHAVIOR IN LIGHT OF BUDGETARY CONSTRAINTS
Authors: Cornacchione Edgard , Reginato Luciane 
Published: June 2022

Objective: The paper aims at creating a model to simulate managerial behavior within a budgetary process affording analysis of evolving overall performance and specific behavioral attributes, at both firm- and manager-level.Method: This study focuses on computer science, decision systems and management, by exploring agent-based modeling (ABM) in management accounting, with Python and Mesa. The model adopts a Consumer Service Provider firm and its quarterly sales budgeting process for a network of 400 branches over a 5-year term, contingent to firm culture (authoritarian or participative).Results and discussions: Data analytics yielded results based on intense model simulation, with more than 19 million data points. Findings show culture-contingent firm performance and managerial behavior evolution linked to the budgetary process. Authoritarian firms generated fair more sales with similar managerial human capital and market, under increasing strong demand; authoritarian firms paid more bonuses as part pf their reward system. In general, an authoritarian culture may benefit in a strong demand scenario thad participative firms, potentially due to budgetary slack form negotiation. On the other hand, authoritarian forms showed lower levels of happiness and engagement among their managers. Contributions: Contributions are threefold, pointing to (a) management accounting practice and research, (b) science and research strategy, and (c) accounting education.
EMPRESAS GERENCIAM LUCROS TRIBUTÁVEIS E CONTÁBEIS SIMULTANEAMENTE EM TEMPOS DE CRISE?
Authors: Tardin Neyla , De Oliveira Wilson Luis 
Published: June 2022

Objetivo: Este trabalho investiga se as empresas brasileiras se envolvem simultaneamente em práticas de gerenciamento de resultados via accruals discricionários e de agressividade tributária em períodos de crise econômica.
Método: A amostra foi composta por 2.301 observações de 142 empresas não financeiras com ações negociadas na B3 S/A, entre os anos de 1998 e 2019. Os dados foram coletados na base Economática®.
Resultados: Os achados evidenciam que, em períodos de crise, empresas se envolvem mais em agressividade tributária para melhorar fluxo de caixa e pagar menos tributos. Além disso, as empresas gerenciam mais resultados contábeis para baixo durante crises, pois o mercado tolera baixo desempenho financeiro nesses períodos. Não há evidências de que as empresas se envolvem em gerenciamento de resultados contábeis e em agressividade tributária simultaneamente em tempos de crise econômica, uma vez que essa manobra aumenta o custo ou o risco da transação perante os órgãos regulatórios.
Contribuições: Os achados possuem implicações práticas para observação dos órgãos reguladores, de que empresas que adotam conduta agressiva em economia de impostos não tendem a manipular seus lucros em um mesmo período, estratégia possivelmente explicada pelo risco envolvido nas operações.

Sampah plastik yang menumpuk di pesisir danau Matano merupakan akumulasi dari perilaku masyarakat selama bertahun-tahun membuang sampah di sembarang tempat yang pada akhirnya terbawa air ke Danau Matano. Diperlukan upaya bersama antara masyarakat dan pemerintah daerah guna menanggulangi penumpukan sampah tersebut. Meskipun telah dilakukan upaya pembersihan, namun penumpukan sampah masih terlihat di beberapa titik. Salah satu kendala karena sulitnya menjangkau area yang berada di air yang bercampur lumpur, serta keberadaannya di bawah rumah-rumah warga setempat. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah merancang perahu yang dapat menjangkau area penumpukan sampah di air, serta mengangkat sampah tersebut ke atas perahu secara otomatis menggunakan metode pembanding. Hasil yang diperoleh berupa gambar rancangan menggunakan software Autodesk Inventor yang siap dilakukan proses Fabrikasi dengan ukuran utama 3740 x 2000 x 800 (L x B x D). Pengujian dilakukan melalui analisis berat yaitu sebesar 179,97 kg, dengan gaya apung sebesar 606,53 kg, sedangkan volume lambung yang akan tenggelam ketika berada pada kapasitas maksimal sebesar 79,13%. Dari hasil tersebut, perahu akan dapat berfungsi sebagaimana yang diharapkan. A piled of plastic waste has been seen across the shore of Lake Matano. This has become the results of local people’s bad behavior for years for not throwing their garbage to its place. Those waste has been carried by the stream and forms such a disturbing plastic pile along the shore, and had raised some environmental concerns over this behavior. Therefore, this requires serious attention particularly from the community and local government for solution. There have been some actions taken for trying to solve it, however, similar pile is still found in some hotspots. There has been some limitation to those actions, for example to reach areas under the water that has already been mixed with muds for a long time, and those which has been stack under houses of the local’s residents. This research aimed at designing a garbage boat that shall able to collecting the waste, particularly plastic in some difficult hotspots mentioned above automatically by the use of a comparison method. The result is a drawing design generated by the Autodesk Inventor software which is ready for next step, the fabrication process. The main dimension of the boat is 3740x2000x800 (L x B x D). A test was done specifically on the weight of the boat which approximately 177.97kg, with a buoyancy force of 606,53 kg, Then the volume for the hull part would sink whenever reach its ‘capacity of 79,13%. Under this current estimation, the whole part is ready for operation.
Kiss me (not!), Cressida – Or: The social touch of lips and tongue
Authors: Ungelenk Johannes 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
The article is dedicated to the problem of social bonds that is negotiated in Troilus and Cressida. Troilus and Ulysses embody an old, traditional order of the world that is out of joint, while Cressida’s behaviour and her way of interacting indicate a different and new regime of social regulation that is about to take over. With its complex superposition of (touches of) love and war, Troilus and Cressida brings together rituals of touch, anarchic speech acts, and a gendered perspective on the world that associates touch and temporality with ‘frail’ femininity and temptation. With unrivalled intensity, the play puts to the spectator that the basic condition of touch, i. e. exposing oneself to another, entails an incalculable risk. Hector tragically falls for the vulnerability inherent in touch and the audience suffers with him because they share this existential precondition on which modern society is ‘founded.’ The gloomy, inescapable atmosphere of societal crisis that Troilus and Cressida creates emphasises the fact that the fragility of touch is not to be overcome. The fractions – no matter whether Greek, Trojan, or those of loving couples – cannot simply be reunited to form a new, authentic entity. Generating at least some form of social cohesion therefore remains a challenge.
Where have all the sound changes gone? Phonological stability and mechanisms of sound change
Authors: Bowern Claire 
Published: June 2022

AbstractWhen do the mechanisms of regular sound change fail to apply? What types of languages and situations exhibit and promote phonological stability? I consider these questions using data from the languages of Aboriginal Australia, where there has been debate on this question. I show that the standard explanations are inadequate, and possible solutions have not yet been empirically investigated. Given how many of these languages are already either no longer spoken or severely under threat, it is important to investigate these questions urgently.

Abstract
The tumor microenvironment is highly immunosuppressive. The genetically modified oncolytic vaccinia virus (OVV) is a promising vector for cancer immunotherapy. The aim of the present study was to assess the antitumor effects of human interleukin-2 (hIL2)-armed OVV in vitro. The hIL2 gene was inserted into a thymidine kinase and the viral growth factor double deleted oncolytic VV (VVDD) to generate recombinant hIL2-armed OVV (rVVDD-hIL2). Viral replication capacity in A549 cells was quantified by plaque titration on CV-1 cells. Production of hIL2 in cancer cells infected by rVVDD-hIL2 was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Finally, 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-arboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium, inner salt (MTS) assay was performed to assess the antitumor effects of rVVDD-hIL2. The results showed that rVVDD-hIL2 viral particles expressed increasing levels of hIL2 in human and murine cancer cell lines with growing multiplicities of infection (MOIs). The insertion of the hIL2 gene did not impair the replication capacity of VV, and the rVVDD-hIL2 virus killed cancer cells efficaciously. The lytic effects of the recombinant oncolytic virus on tumor cells increased with the growing MOIs. In conclusion, these findings suggest that hIL2-armed VVDD effectively infects and lyses tumor cells, with high expression of hIL2.
Byron and the Problem with Memory Arts
Authors: Rexroth Grace 
Published: June 2022

Grace Rexroth, “Byron and the Problem with Memory Arts: Writing Don Juan for an Age of ‘Uncertain Paper’” (pp. 1–28)
In the first canto of Don Juan (1819–24), George Gordon, Lord Byron describes Juan’s mother as a woman whose memory needs no artificial aid: “Her memory was a mine. …For her Feinagle’s were an useless art.” The mention of “Feinagle” is a reference to a memory system designed by Gregor von Feinaigle, outlined in a book titled The New Art of Memory (1812). While the reference might appear insignificant, I argue that concerns about memory and mnemonic arts actually animate Byron’s poem. I view Feinaigle as a touchstone for a set of memory practices that proliferated into what Blackwood’s Edinburgh Magazine would later decry as an “explosion of mnemonics.” As the print landscape of the Regency era rapidly expanded, such systems promised to help readers deal with the resulting information overload by helping them to remember everything they read. Set within this context, Don Juan seems to respond to the same anxieties that animated the fad for mnemonics. However, rather than attempting to help readers remember everything, Byron foregrounds the question of what should be remembered and why—especially when it comes to memorializing war. In this way, Don Juan becomes an alternative Romantic memory palace animated by a cultural anxiety about how to read and recall what the powers-that-be would have us forget.
Determination of the influence of basic parameters on the solvent sublation of anionic dye

Published: June 2022

The object of research is wastewater contaminated with anionic dyes. Traditional methods of wastewater treatment from dyes are imperfect and inefficient or non-existent. Therefore, the need to develop and implement effective and inexpensive to use and operate dye removal technologies is important. The biggest problem in dye removal is when large volumes of low concentration wastewater have to be treated. To purify just such effluents, a combined method, solvent sublation, has been proposed. It combines flotation and extraction methods and has the benefits of both. The essence of the method is the passage of gas bubbles through the aqueous phase and the transport of a hydrophobic complex (sublate) formed by a dye and a surfactant into the organic phase. The study used imitates of wastewater contaminated with an anionic dye, active bright blue in the concentration range of 5–50 mg/dm3. The influence of the main parameters on the degree of dye removal was studied: the pH of the initial solution, the molar ratio of surfactant: dye, the size of air bubbles, the gas flow rate, the initial concentration of the dye, the duration of solvent sublation. Rational parameters of the process have been established, which are advisable to use in solvent sublation:
– purification process must be carried out in the presence of a cationic collector hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide;
– extractant – isoamyl alcohol;
– molar ratio Dye: surfactant=1:1.5;
– pH 5.5;
– generation of gas bubbles by a Schott filter with a porosity of 40 µm;
– gas flow rate – 127 cm3/min.
Under such conditions, the removal efficiency of active bright blue is 97 % at a process time of 10–25 min. The results obtained confirm the promise of the proposed method for the effective removal of dyes from low-concentration aqueous solutions. The method has a number of advantages: it requires a small amount of extractant compared to liquid extraction; ions are concentrated in small volumes of an organic solvent; the process proceeds without phase mixing, so no emulsions are formed.
Deoxidation and modification of steels with reduced silicon content
Authors: Polishko Serhii 
Published: June 2022

The object of research is the processes that affect the mechanical characteristics of steels after the treatment of melts with silicon-free complex master alloys according to existing technologies. One of the most problematic places is the negative effect of silicon on the weldability of low-alloy steel, sharply increasing the heterogeneity of welds in sulfur and phosphorus and increasing their susceptibility to hot cracks. The cyclic strength of welded joints decreases markedly with an increase in the silicon concentration of steel. Also in this case, there is a threat of the formation of silicon monoxide, which significantly increases the fragility of the finished steel products. Also, steels processed with alloys containing silicon are prone to decarburization, the formation of surface defects during hot working and graphite formation, which reduces their endurance limit.
In the research it was possible to prove that the use of silicon-free complex ligatures (SFCL) in smelting made it possible to obtain an increase (2–3 times) in the entire complex of mechanical and operational properties, especially ductility, impact strength at normal and negative test temperatures (cold resistance) , fatigue strength. In some cases, the level of properties of cast metal reaches the deformed version of its manufacture, for example, rolled products and even metal obtained by electroslag remelting. Processing of the melt of various BKL steels when tapping from the furnace into a pouring ladle instead of aluminum master alloys, silicocalcium and ferrocerium (according to the current technology) provided the required level and high stability of the mechanical properties of 20GML steel. Also, thanks to the use of BCL, it was possible to reduce the consumption of ligatures and deoxidizers by 4.2 kg per ton of liquid metal and increase the yield of rejection of casting defects by 6–10 %. It has been established in the work that BCL treatment leads to stabilization of the chemical composition, refinement of the grain structure of steels, as well as an increase in its dispersion and the level of mechanical characteristics.
