description: Статья посвящена малоисследованной теме манипулирования массовой аудиторией на бытовом уровне. В частности, показано, что под воздействием информации массмедиа могут меняться не только приоритеты коммуникации внутри социальных групп, но при этом в большей или меньшей степени актуализируются и смыслы, транслируемые при посредстве медиатекстов. В качестве эмпирической базы авторами выбраны нишевые издания, в частности, организаций, которые в обществе именуются «религиозными сектами». Использованы примеры и из актуальной повестки дня СМИ – по теме «теории заговоров», коронавирусной пандемии и ряда других. В итоге делается вывод: чтобы обнаружить манипулятивные интенции субъектов информационной деятельности и эффективно противодействовать им, нужен высокий уровень медиаграмотности представителей как «аналогового», так и «цифрового» поколений аудитории СМИ, что предопределит не только решение повседневных задач социального управления, но и развития коммуникативно-культурной памяти нации.

description: The Unconditional Quantile Regression (UQR) method, initially introduced by Firpo et al. has gained significant traction as a popular approach for modeling and analyzing data. However, much like Conditional Quantile Regression (CQR), UQR encounters computational challenges when it comes to obtaining parameter estimates for streaming datasets. This is attributed to the involvement of unknown parameters in the logistic regression loss function used in UQR, which presents obstacles in both computational execution and theoretical development. To address this, we present a novel approach involving smoothing logistic regression estimation. Subsequently, we propose a renewable estimator tailored for UQR with streaming data, relying exclusively on current data and summary statistics derived from historical data. Theoretically, our proposed estimators exhibit equivalent asymptotic properties to the standard version computed directly on the entire dataset, without any additional constraints. Both simulations and real data analysis are conducted to illustrate the finite sample performance of the proposed methods.

Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2016

description: Sea level rise (SLR) will directly affect vast coastal areas and flood plains of Bangladesh. A rise in sea level of nearly 10 cm, 25 cm resp. 1 m is expected by 2020, 2050 resp. 2100, inundating 2%, 4% and 17.5% of the country's total land mass respectively. Twenty million people, engaged in salt/shrimp production, fishery/agriculture, and other businesses will be directly affected. As a result of a sea level rise of 1 m, 29,846 sq km of the coastal area will be inundated; 14.8 million people will be landless, and tens of thousands of people will be environmental refugees. Annual rice production in Bangladesh will be drastically reduced. Soil and water salinity of the coastal zone will be increased. The Sundarbans, the mangrove-estuary of the Ganga-Brahmaputra delta, will be totally destroyed. Against this backdrop, a prime need of the country is to facilitate a national climate-resilient development process in addition to the regional and international efforts. This paper focuses on one of the major implications of climate change, the sea level rise. It portrays the impacts of sea level rise on the people of the coastal areas of Bangladesh and potential mitigation and adaptation strategies.

Sea Level Changes and Tsunamis, Environmental Stress and Migration Overseas. The Case of the Maldives and Sri Lanka
Creators: name: Mörner, Nils-Axel
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2016

description: The decadal to centennial changes in sea level during the last 5000 years are dominated by the redistribution of water masses over the globe. The driving mechanism is the interchange of angular momentum between the solid Earth and the hydrosphere (and the atmosphere, too). Therefore, short-term sea level changes, ocean current switches, air pressure changes and local to regional climatic changes (temperature and precipitation) are interrelated. In this paper the Indian Ocean Situation is investigated. A new sea level curve for the Maldives is presented. Some of the recorded changes may have induced migration and trading overseas. Past tsunamis are recorded both on Sri Lanka and on the Maldives. The predominant view of a rapid rise in sea level seems no longer tenable, and no signs of any ongoing sea level rise were found in the Maldives. Therefore, our new observational data seem to give the allclear as regards extensive flooding of lowlying coastal areas and islands in the near future.

description: Background: Antimicrobial use is thought to suppress the intestinal microbiota, thereby impairing colonization resistance and allowing Clostridium difficile to infect the gut. Additional risk factors such as proton-pump inhibitors may also alter the intestinal microbiota and predispose patients to Clostridium difficile infection (CDI). This comparative metagenomic study investigates the relationship between epidemiologic exposures, intestinal bacterial populations and subsequent development of CDI in hospitalized patients. We performed a nested case–control study including 25 CDI cases and 25 matched controls. Fecal specimens collected prior to disease onset were evaluated by 16S rRNA gene amplification and pyrosequencing to determine the composition of the intestinal microbiota during the at-risk period. Results: The diversity of the intestinal microbiota was significantly reduced prior to an episode of CDI. Sequences corresponding to the phylum Bacteroidetes and to the families Bacteroidaceae and Clostridiales Incertae Sedis XI were depleted in CDI patients compared to controls, whereas sequences corresponding to the family Enterococcaceae were enriched. In multivariable analyses, cephalosporin and fluoroquinolone use, as well as a decrease in the abundance of Clostridiales Incertae Sedis XI were significantly and independently associated with CDI development. Conclusions: This study shows that a reduction in the abundance of a specific bacterial family - Clostridiales Incertae Sedis XI - is associated with risk of nosocomial CDI and may represent a target for novel strategies to prevent this life-threatening infection.
OVERCOMING THE RAYLEIGH LIMIT FOR HIGH-RESOLUTION OPTICAL IMAGING: QUANTUM ANDCLASSICAL METHODS

description:
Achieving high optical resolution imaging is one of the most important goals in the history of optics. However, due to finite aperture sizes, a diffraction limit is imposed on optical imaging. Therefore, the Rayleigh limit, which describes the minimum separation at which two point sources are resolvable, has served as a critical limit in optical resolution. Many methods have been studied to break the limit and succeed in resolving nearby sources below the Rayleigh criterion but only beyond a certain distance. Furthermore, it has been demonstrated that quantum-inspired optics techniques maintain consistent variance in estimating the separation of point sources even at low separations, but only with prior information like a known number of sources and equal brightness. Therefore, achieving the ultimate optical resolution remains an open question. This thesis will conclusively address this challenge considering real-world scenarios, i.e., no prior information or controlled lab environment as well as low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), turbulence, and other practical challenges.
In information theory, the estimation variance of a random parameter can be quantified using the inverse of Fisher information. By maximizing the Fisher information, one can minimize the variance in estimation. In my thesis, we have shown that the measurement can be accelerated without sacrificing optical resolution using the adaptive mode so that quantum Fisher information per detected photon is maximized. The notable attribute that sets it apart from other quantum-inspired methods is that it does not require any prior information, making it more feasible for practical application. We have further shown that the space domain awareness (SDA) challenge can be effectively handled with the aforementioned approach with a very limited photon budget and even in the presence of turbulence. Toward solving the challenges, we designed a photon statistics-based direct imaging method that can also serve as a baseline method for quantum optics. In my thesis, atmospheric turbulence is also deeply explored and the effect is mitigated using reinforcement learning.
Dissens in Nordvietnam: Die 'Anti-Partei-Affäre' und der Krieg (1963-1967)
Creators: name: Grossheim, Martin
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2016

description: The paper analyses internal debates within the North Vietnamese leadership in the 1960s commonly known as the "revisionist/anti-Party affair". It argues that by launching a campaign against dissident Party members who favored a reunification of the country by peaceful means, Party chief Le Duan managed to push through his more militant line and thus paved the way for the war against South Vietnam and the United States. The paper emphasizes that the struggle between different factions in North Vietnam before the outbreak of the war had a major domestic dimension although it was closely connected to the Sino-Soviet split. It draws on hitherto untapped East German sources held in the German Federal National Archives, the Political Archives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Archives of the Ministry of State Security.

The Railways and the Water Regime of the Eastern Bengal Delta, c1845-1943
Creators: name: Iqbal, Iftekhar
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2016

description: The railways in colonial India are generally considered an imperial scheme designed to mobilize capital, raw materials and troops. Their impact has been measured by the macroeconomic performance of India within the general pattern of industrialization, market integration as well as exports and imports. The role of the railways in ecological deterioration has generally been overlooked. This paper, with its focus on what is today Bangladesh, argues that though there were opportunities to expand the railway in harmony with the water regime of the region - as was the case in Britain and continental Europe during the early phases of railway expansion - different forces and agencies contributed to large-scale ecological and consequently agrarian decline in this region. The paper also examines the fraught ways in which the colonial state's differential policies and bureaucracy, transnational investment networks, and "modern" intellectual perception and engineering - charcterized by a vague understanding of local ecological reality - engaged with the ever-changing landscape of the region until the eve of the departure of the British Raj.

Land, Labour, Local Power and the Constitution of Agrarian Territories on the Anglo-Gorkha Frontier, 1700-1815
Creators: name: Michael, Bernardo A.
Publisher: name: Internationales Asienforum
Year: 2016

description: This paper explores the agency of the environment (malaria forests) and agrarian culture (shortage of labour, migration, and the politics of little kingdoms) in the organization of territory along the Anglo-Gorkha frontier in early colonial north India. Historically, dense malarial forests restricted access to this frontier at a time when intense efforts were being made by recalcitrant little kingdoms and landed magnates to extend cultivation. Labour too was in short supply. Consequently a shifting forest-field mosaic of agrarian territory emerged from the uneven interactions between ecology, local power, and labour supply. Together, these environmental and human factores combined to impact the layout, extent, and architecture of administrative divisions along the Anglo-Gorkha frontier causing them to shift, overlap, and break up. Such a scenario of spatial fluidity expressed in the form of patchy, ill-defined administrative divisions persisted when these areas came under the authority of the British East India Company and the Himalayan kingdom of Gorkha (present-day Nepal). It may be argued that these spatial dynamics, long ignored by historians of this frontier, provided an important set of circumstances that ultimately led to the Anglo-Gorkha war of 1814-1816. This war led to the defeat of Gorkha and the formal demarcation of the present Anglo-Nepal boundary which, it was hoped, would permanently fix the adjoining territories of the two states along this fuzzy frontier.

An information interface for Corporate Identity System
Creators: name: Hsu, Yu Lin
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: In the modern information era, communication between customers and designers must be efficient and systematic, streamlining the design process. Design processes should be interactive and effective. The Corporate Identity Information Service System (CIISS), based on a network platform, achieves this, allowing customers to participate in and evaluate the design of Corporate Identity Systems (CIS). This personalized information service system integrates corporate logos, terms and their application to merchandise, helping customers to visualize concepts and generate designs in real-time via the network. This research analyzes various branches of the network environment, such as cyberspace communities, media content, market distribution and user interaction tools, specifically targeting consumer-oriented customized services. It incorporates a study of consumer perception of corporate logos, using the Semantic Differential method. Taiwanese finance industry trademarks are used as examples to investigate customer impressions and preferences. This provides a method for generating customer feedback on the design of logos and trademarks, applicable within the CIISS. The potential for the application of Chinese calligraphic fonts within the CIISS is also explored. A database of calligraphic characters was created by digitizing texts into multi-vector graphics, thereby allowing any single character to be used as a base for composition. New calligraphic templates were also generated from the charter stroke counts or character radicals in an existing database, allowing new characters or slang to be presented in traditional style. This provides a convenient and prompt application of vector calligraphic art in the design of CIS. A network system was developed to support a customized commercial system for CIS design. Interfaces and object-oriented methods were integrated into an online real-time publishing information system with a database and search engine. Designers and customers are able to utilize digitized images of merchandise, corporate logos and wordings and retrieve relevant information on corporate logos, symbols, color schemes and specific wording simultaneously. This system provides rapid communication through a real-time display and customized information service, making the process of CIS design more efficient for both designer and customer.
Barriers to Rural Induced Abortion Services in Canada : Findings of the British Columbia Abortion Providers Survey (BCAPS)

description: Background: Rural induced abortion service has declined in Canada. Factors influencing abortion provision by rural physicians are unknown. This study assessed distribution, practice, and experiences among rural compared to urban abortion providers in the Canadian province of British Columbia (BC). Methods: We used mixed methods to assess physicians on the BC registry of abortion providers. In 2011 we distributed a previously-published questionnaire and conducted semi-structured interviews. Results: Surveys were returned by 39/46 (85%) of BC abortion providers. Half were family physicians, within both rural and urban cohorts. One-quarter (17/67) of rural hospitals offer abortion service. Medical abortions comprised 14.7% of total reported abortions. The three largest urban areas reported 90% of all abortions, although only 57% of reproductive age women reside in the associated health authority regions. Each rural physician provided on average 76 (SD 52) abortions annually, including 35 (SD 30) medical abortions. Rural physicians provided surgical abortions in operating rooms, often using general anaesthesia, while urban physicians provided the same services primarily in ambulatory settings using local anaesthesia. Rural providers reported health system barriers, particularly relating to operating room logistics. Urban providers reported occasional anonymous harassment and violence. Conclusions: Medical abortions represented 15% of all BC abortions, a larger proportion than previously reported (under 4%) for Canada. Rural physicians describe addressable barriers to service provision that may explain the declining accessibility of rural abortion services. Moving rural surgical abortions out of operating rooms and into local ambulatory care settings has the potential to improve care and costs, while reducing logistical challenges facing rural physicians.

description: This benthic stereo-BRUVs Field Manual includes gear designed to acquire imagery of demersal fish assemblages and their habitat within the field of view. A separate manual will address sampling pelagic fish assemblages using BRUVs (Chapter 6). This field manual covers everything required from equipment, pre-survey preparation, field procedures, post-survey procedures and data management for using benthic BRUVs to sample and monitor fish assemblages. The aim is to develop a consistent approach to using this field equipment and allow statistically sound comparisons between studies. Stereo-BRUVs are recommended, over mono-BRUVs, when monitoring demersal fish assemblages. Stereo-BRUVs consist of two cameras strategically and accurately placed on a frame that enable lengths and distance measurements to be made through the use of specialised software. These data are crucial to help monitor changes in fish assemblages over time. Therefore, the following standard operating procedures are written based on the use of stereo video.

description: Summary: Identifying the side effects related to drugs is beneficial for reducing the risk of drug development failure and saving the drug development cost. We proposed a graph reasoning method, RKDSP, to fuse the semantics of multiple connection relationships, the local knowledge within each meta-path, the global knowledge among multiple meta-paths, and the attributes of the drug and side effect node pairs. We constructed drug-side effect heterogeneous graphs consisting of the drugs, side effects, and their similarity and association connections. Multiple relational transformers were established to learn node features from diverse meta-path semantic perspectives. A knowledge distillation module was constructed to learn local and global knowledge of multiple meta-paths. Finally, an adaptive convolutional neural network-based strategy was presented to adaptively encode the attributes of each drug-side effect node pair. The experimental results demonstrated that RKDSP outperforms the compared state-of-the-art prediction approaches.

Public perceptions of genetically modified food: an Australian perspective
Creators: name: Whitfield, Carol
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Public acceptance is crucial to the success of the products of any new technology, including genetically modified (GM) food (Davison et al 1997: 317-318). Governments and industry are aware that failure in market acceptance can waste millions of dollars in investment in new technologies. Public support for GM food has been historically low in Australia, despite widespread adoption of other applications of biotechnology such as new vaccines (Bunton and Gilding, forthcoming). As a consequence, several years ago moratoria on GM canola were put in place in all canola-growing states for fear of a consumer backlash over concerns that non-GM crops would be contaminated, and because of 'deep divisions and uncertainty' in the industry and the community (DAFF 2007: xi; 39). However public policy is shifting on the issue, with the moratoria being lifted in some Australian states (DPI (Vic) 2008; DPI (NSW) 2008). This thesis is not about the merits or otherwise of GM food. It is a snapshot of the current state of public perceptions of GM food at this pivotal time for the industry and an exploration of how these perceptions can best be understood. It finds that public support for GM food in Australia is relatively low, but there are diverse views among the public on the issue. Trust in the large corporations involved in the GM food industry was found to be the major determining factor in attitudes to GM food, particularly for GM agriculture. Those who trust in the corporate responsibility of large corporations are more supportive of GM food, while those who do not trust them are more likely to oppose GM food. For GM animals, trust in scientists was important, due to concerns about the greater risks with GM animal technology and discomfort about where the technology could lead.

Readers will want to look elsewhere for such detail (Urquhart and Kincaid, 1999; Gitzen et al., 2012; Thompson, 2012, are a good start, although there are many). We hope to only introduce the relevant concepts and stress that these are the things that should be thought about by all researchers involved with survey planning. In particular, we discuss: (i) randomisation, (ii) efficiency of design, (iii) uncertainty reduction, (iv) sampling in space and time, and (v) specifics for different gear types. This all leads to an illustrative example design, using the MBHdesign R-package. (available from CRAN, https://cran.r-project.org/package=MBHdesign). For those readers interested in acronyms: MBHdesignstands for Marine Biodiversity Hub design. The goals and techniques implemented in MBHdesign are outlined throughout this chapter.
Management der Energieeffizienz in Südkorea. Modell für Europa?

description: Efficient management of energy is possibly the most important contribution towards complying with the growth limits of the earth system. This requires a sustainable energy policy by public players and sustainable energy consumption in a global society. In South Korea, sustainable energy policy forms part of the first priority strategies and includes restructuring the energy industry, energy saving, redesigning energy price systems, speeding up the development and dissemination of new energy technologies. The energy policy is a "best practice case study" for German energy policy as well, it is a model worthy of imitation: a complete turn-around for a country in energy matters. It is based on a holistic approach using effective legal mechanisms and a range of systematic energy planning measures. South Korea is using an instrument package in which far-reaching binding requirements are to the fore. Legislation is formulated in the Rational Energy Utilization Act, originally passed in 1979 and re-structured in 1995, as well as the Basic Energy Act of 2006 as part of a basic framework to deal with pressing energy problems.

description: The South African National Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission of HIV programme has resulted in significant reductions in vertical transmission, but new infant HIV infections continue to occur. We present two cases of HIV seroconversion during late pregnancy, demonstrating the limitations of the current programme. These could be mitigated by expanding the programme to include maternal testing at delivery and at immunisation clinic visits as we pursue the elimination of mother-to-child transmission.

description: The modality is an important topic for modelling. Using parametric models is an efficient way when real data set shows trimodality. In this paper, we propose a new class of trimodal probability distributions, that is, probability distributions that have up to three modes. Trimodality itself is achieved by applying a proper transformation to density function of certain continuous probability distributions. At first, we obtain preliminary results for an arbitrary density function g(x) and, next, we focus on the Gaussian case, studying trimodal Gaussian model more deeply. The Gaussian distribution is applied to produce the trimodal form of Gaussian known as normal distribution. The tractability of analytical expression of normal distribution and properties of the trimodal normal distribution are important reasons why we choose normal distribution. Furthermore, the existing distributions should be improved to be capable of modelling efficiently when there exists a trimodal form in a data set. After new density function is proposed, estimating its parameters is important. Since Mathematica 12.0 software has optimization tools and important modelling techniques, computational steps are performed using this software. The bootstrapped form of real data sets are applied to show the modelling ability of the proposed distribution when real data sets show trimodality.

description: Measurement errors occur very commonly in practice. After fitting the model, influence diagnostics is an important step in statistical data analysis. The most frequently used diagnostic method for measurement error models is the local influence. However, this methodology may fail to detect masked influential observations. To overcome this limitation, we propose the use of the conformal normal curvature with the forward search algorithm. The results are presented through easy to interpret plots considering different perturbation schemes. The proposed methodology is illustrated with three real data sets and one simulated data set, two of which have been previously analyzed in the literature. The third data set deals with the stability of the hygroscopic solid dosage in pharmaceutical processes to ensure the maintenance of product safety quality. In this application, the analytical mass balance is subject to measurement errors, which require attention in the modeling process and diagnostic analysis.

An evolutionary framework for cultural change : selectionism versus communal exchange
Creators: name: Gabora, Liane
Publisher: name: Elsevier
Year: 2018

description: Dawkins’ replicator-based conception of evolution has led to widespread misapplication of selectionism across the social sciences because it does not address the paradox that inspired the theory of natural selection in the first place: how do organisms accumulate change when traits acquired over their lifetime are obliterated? This is addressed by von Neumann’s concept of a self-replicating automaton (SRA). A SRA consists of a self-assembly code that is used in two distinct ways: (1) actively deciphered during development to construct a self-similar replicant, and (2) passively copied to the replicant to ensure that it can reproduce. Information that is acquired over a lifetime is not transmitted to offspring, whereas information that is inherited during copying is transmitted. In cultural evolution there is no mechanism for discarding acquired change. Acquired change can accumulate orders of magnitude faster than, and quickly overwhelm, inherited change due to differential replication of variants in response to selection. This prohibits a selectionist but not an evolutionary framework for culture and the creative processes that fuel it. The importance non-Darwinian processes in biological evolution is increasingly recognized. Recent work on the origin of life suggests that early life evolved through a non-Darwinian process referred to as communal exchange that does not involve a self-assembly code, and that natural selection emerged from this more haphazard, ancestral evolutionary process. It is proposed that communal exchange provides an evolutionary framework for culture that enables specification of cognitive features necessary for a (real or artificial) society to evolve culture. This is supported by a computational model of cultural evolution and a conceptual network based program for documenting material cultural history, and it is consistent with high levels of human cooperation.
