description: Monitoring is a critical component in fog environments: it promptly provides insights about the behavior of systems, reveals Service Level Agreements (SLAs) violations, enables the autonomous orchestration of services and platforms, calls for the intervention of operators, and triggers self-healing actions. In such environments, monitoring solutions have to cope with the heterogeneity of the devices and platforms present in the Fog, the limited resources available at the edge of the network, and the high dynamism of the whole Cloud-to-Thing continuum. This paper addresses the challenge of accurately and efficiently monitoring the Fog with a self-adaptive peer-to-peer (P2P) monitoring solution that can opportunistically adjust its behavior according to the collected data exploiting a lightweight rule-based expert system. Empirical results show that adaptation can improve monitoring accuracy, while reducing network and power consumption at the cost of higher memory consumption.

description: The focus of this work is $\textit{sign spotting}$ - given a video of an isolated sign, our task is to identify $\textit{whether}$ and $\textit{where}$ it has been signed in a continuous, co-articulated sign language video. To achieve this sign spotting task, we train a model using multiple types of available supervision by: (1) $\textit{watching}$ existing footage which is sparsely labelled using mouthing cues; (2) $\textit{reading}$ associated subtitles (readily available translations of the signed content) which provide additional $\textit{weak-supervision}$; (3) $\textit{looking up}$ words (for which no co-articulated labelled examples are available) in visual sign language dictionaries to enable novel sign spotting. These three tasks are integrated into a unified learning framework using the principles of Noise Contrastive Estimation and Multiple Instance Learning. We validate the effectiveness of our approach on low-shot sign spotting benchmarks. In addition, we contribute a machine-readable British Sign Language (BSL) dictionary dataset of isolated signs, BSLDict, to facilitate study of this task. The dataset, models and code are available at our project page.

description: We introduce Histopathobiome, a term representing the integration of histopathology and microbiome data to explore tissue-microbe interactions. Using a dataset of colon biopsy whole-slide images paired with microbiota composition samples, we assess the benefits of combining these modalities to distinguish patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) subtype – ulcerative colitis (UC) from non-IBD controls. Initially, we evaluate the unimodal performance of state-of-the-art algorithms using vectors representing bacterial species abundances or histopathology slide-level embeddings. We compare single-modality models with bimodal networks with various fusion strategies. Our results prove that histopathology and microbiome data are complementary in UC classification. By demonstrating improved performance over single-modality approaches, we prove that bimodal deep learning models can be used to learn meaningful and interpretable cross-modal tissue-microbe patterns.

description: Resumo As ciências sociais tendem a utilizar o conceito de cuidado para abordar situações de privação. Porém, na existência relacional quotidiana, cuidado é referido para descrever processos e sentimentos entre pessoas que cuidam umas das outras em várias dimensões da vida social e que não se encontram necessariamente em situações de carência. Nesta comunicação discutirei diferentes dimensões do cuidado a partir de trabalho de campo em Portugal que atravessa uma situação de crise económica e social e onde as pessoas (re)tomam vias informais para lidar com situações de carência. A iniciativa pessoal, imbuída da moralidade do "cuidado" e do bem comum, torna-se central e factor de sustentabilidade tanto a nível económico (provendo a pessoas necessitadas) como emocional (bem-estar). As relações interpessoais e as relações motivadas por sentimentos e ideais de bem geral são portanto centrais para a reprodução do futuro do sistema social mundial de mercado económico global em que vivemos.

description: Multi-fingered hands could be used to achieve many dexterous manipulation tasks, similarly to humans, and tactile sensing could enhance the manipulation stability for a variety of objects. However, tactile sensors on multi-fingered hands have a variety of sizes and shapes. Convolutional neural networks (CNN) can be useful for processing tactile information, but the information from multi-fingered hands needs an arbitrary pre-processing, as CNNs require a rectangularly shaped input, which may lead to unstable results. Therefore, how to process such complex shaped tactile information and utilize it for achieving manipulation skills is still an open issue. This paper presents a control method based on a graph convolutional network (GCN) which extracts geodesical features from the tactile data with complicated sensor alignments. Moreover, object property labels are provided to the GCN to adjust in-hand manipulation motions. Distributed tri-axial tactile sensors are mounted on the fingertips, finger phalanges and palm of an Allegro hand, resulting in 1152 tactile measurements. Training data is collected with a data-glove to transfer human dexterous manipulation directly to the robot hand. The GCN achieved high success rates for in-hand manipulation. We also confirmed that fragile objects were deformed less when correct object labels were provided to the GCN. When visualizing the activation of the GCN with a PCA, we verified that the network acquired geodesical features. Our method achieved stable manipulation even when an experimenter pulled a grasped object and for untrained objects.

description: The goal of this article is to make automatic data assimilation for a landslide tsunami model, given by the coupling between a non-hydrostatic multi-layer shallow-water and a Savage-Hutter granular landslide model for submarine avalanches. The coupled model is discretized using a positivity-preserving second-order path-conservative finite volume scheme. The data assimilation problem is posed in a global optimization framework and we develop and compare parallel metaheuristic stochastic global optimization algorithms, more precisely multi-path versions of the Simulated Annealing algorithm, with hybrid global optimization algorithms based on hybridizing Simulated Annealing with gradient local searchers, like L-BGFS-B.

description: Abstract Portugal is undergoing a socio-economic crisis (with increasing rates of unemployment, low family income, a significant immigrant population, and a growing aged population) that increases pressures on a range of social services. Faced with the failing capability of state care systems to continue to provide support, as well as funding cuts imposed by the international economic crisis, people (re)turn to informal ways to address the problem.
 This 'state of emergency' also stimulates creativity and innovation, not only at the economic but also in social and moral realms which are easily overlooked by economic studies of crisis situations. Bearing in mind the danger of presenting an overly harmonious view of social care systems this paper debate how informal practices sometimes support national economies, how people engage simultaneously in formal and informal systems of care and how these strategies are so effective in producing an effective way to face crisis situations. Care thus becomes a factor of economic sustainability (helping to overcome precarious situations); a factor of social sustainability (providing to people in need); and also of emotional sustainability (well being).

description: Following a brief review of their biology, this contribution is an attempt to provide a global overview of the catches of mesopelagic fishes (of which 2.68 million tonnes were officially reported to the FAO) throughout the world ocean from 1950 to 2018, to serve as a baseline to a future development of these fisheries. The overview is based on a thorough scanning of the literature dealing with commercial or experimental fisheries for mesopelagics and their catches, and/or the mesopelagic bycatch of other fisheries. All commercial (industrial and artisanal) fisheries for mesopelagic fishes were included, as well as experimental fisheries of which we were aware, while catches performed only to obtain scientific samples were omitted. The processes of generating bycatch and causing discards are discussed, with emphasis on Russian fisheries. From peer-reviewed and gray literature, we lifted information on mesopelagic fisheries and assembled it into one document, which we then summarized into two text tables with catch data, one by country/region, the other by species or species groups.

description: Session-based recommendation aims to predict items that an anonymous user would like to purchase based on her short behavior sequence. The current approaches towards session-based recommendation only focus on modeling users' interest preferences, while they all ignore a key attribute of an item, i.e., the price. Many marketing studies have shown that the price factor significantly influences users' behaviors and the purchase decisions of users are determined by both price and interest preferences simultaneously. However, it is nontrivial to incorporate price preferences for session-based recommendation. Firstly, it is hard to handle heterogeneous information from various features of items to capture users' price preferences. Secondly, it is difficult to model the complex relations between price and interest preferences in determining user choices. To address the above challenges, we propose a novel method Co-guided Heterogeneous Hypergraph Network (CoHHN) for session-based recommendation. Towards the first challenge, we devise a heterogeneous hypergraph to represent heterogeneous information and rich relations among them. A dual-channel aggregating mechanism is then designed to aggregate various information in the heterogeneous hypergraph. After that, we extract users' price preferences and interest preferences via attention layers. As to the second challenge, a co-guided learning scheme is designed to model the relations between price and interest preferences and enhance the learning of each other. Finally, we predict user actions based on item features and users' price and interest preferences. Extensive experiments on three real-world datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed CoHHN. Further analysis reveals the significance of price for session-based recommendation.

description: The shredding intrauterine lining or the endometrium is known as Menstruation. It occurs every month and causes several issues like Menstrual Cramps and aches in the abdominal region, stains, menstrual malodor, rashes in intimate areas, and many more. In our research, almost all of the products available in the market do not cater to these problems single-handedly. There are few remedies available to cater to the cramps, among which heat therapy is the most commonly used. Our methodology, involved surveys regarding problems and the solutions to these problems that are deemed optimal. This inclusive approach helped us infer about the gaps in available menstrual aids which has become our guide towards developing MIMA (Multifunctional IoT Integrated Menstrual Aid). In this paper, we have featured an IOT incorporated multifunctional smart intimate wear that aims to provide for the multiple necessities of women during menstruation like leakproof, antibacterial, anti-odor, rash-free experience along with an integrated Bluetooth-controlled intimate heat-pad for relieving abdominal cramps. The entire process of product development has been done in phases according to feedback from target users in each stage. This paper is an extension to our paper [1] which serves as the proof of concept for our approach. The development has led us towards MIMA 2.0 featuring a completely concealed and integrated design that includes a safe Bluetooth-controlled heating system for the intimate area. The product has received incredibly positive feedback from survey participants.

description: Many physical systems, including classical fluids, present in their phase diagram the competition between two phases that are separated by a line of first-order phase transitions which terminates at a so-called critical point. Despite several proposals, in the supercritical region beyond the critical point, whether the two phases can still be distinguished and by which criterion remain open questions. In this work, we study the thermodynamics and linear dynamics of a holographic superfluid model with nonlinear potential terms in the supercritical region. We identify the presence of a dynamical crossover, akin to the liquid-like to gas-like Frenkel transition in supercritical fluids, and we define other separation lines of thermodynamic origin based on higher order derivatives of the free energy with respect to the charge density. Our results highlight the universal dynamical and thermodynamic features of supercritical systems from nuclear matter and classical fluids to superfluid systems.

description: This work presents the development of a parallel manipulator used for otological surgery from the perspective of co-design. Co-design refers to the simultaneous involvement of the end-users (surgeons), stakeholders (designers, ergonomic experts, manufacturers), and experts from the fields of optimization and mechanisms. The role of each member is discussed in detail and the interactions between the stakeholders are presented. Co-design facilitates a reduction in the parameter space considered during mechanism optimization, leading to a more efficient design process. Additionally, the co-design principles help avoid unforeseen errors and help in quicker adaptation of the proposed solution.

description: Robustly tracking a person of interest in the crowd with a robotic platform is one of the cornerstones of human-robot interaction. The robot platform which is limited by the computational power, rapid movements, and occlusions of the target requires an efficient and robust framework to perform tracking. This paper proposes a deep learning framework for tracking a person using a mobile robot with a stereo camera. The proposed system detects a person based on its head, then utilizes the low-cost, high-speed regression network-based tracker to track the person of interest in real-time. The visual servoing of the mobile robot has been designed using a PID controller which utilizes tracker output and depth estimation of the person in subsequent frames, hence providing smooth and adaptive movement of the robot based on target movement. The proposed system has been tested in a real environment, thus proving its effectiveness.

description: How has recent AI Ethics literature addressed topics such as fairness and justice in the context of continued social and structural power asymmetries? We trace both the historical roots and current landmark work that have been shaping the field and categorize these works under three broad umbrellas: (i) those grounded in Western canonical philosophy, (ii) mathematical and statistical methods, and (iii) those emerging from critical data/algorithm/information studies. We also survey the field and explore emerging trends by examining the rapidly growing body of literature that falls under the broad umbrella of AI Ethics. To that end, we read and annotated peer-reviewed papers published over the past four years in two premier conferences: FAccT and AIES. We organize the literature based on an annotation scheme we developed according to three main dimensions: whether the paper deals with concrete applications, use-cases, and/or people's lived experience; to what extent it addresses harmed, threatened, or otherwise marginalized groups; and if so, whether it explicitly names such groups. We note that although the goals of the majority of FAccT and AIES papers were often commendable, their consideration of the negative impacts of AI on traditionally marginalized groups remained shallow. Taken together, our conceptual analysis and the data from annotated papers indicate that the field would benefit from an increased focus on ethical analysis grounded in concrete use-cases, people's experiences, and applications as well as from approaches that are sensitive to structural and historical power asymmetries.

description: PET suffers from a low signal-to-noise ratio. Meanwhile, the k-space data acquisition process in MRI is time-consuming by PET-MRI systems. We aim to accelerate MRI and improve PET image quality. This paper proposed a novel joint reconstruction model by diffusion stochastic differential equations based on learning the joint probability distribution of PET and MRI. Compare the results underscore the qualitative and quantitative improvements our model brings to PET and MRI reconstruction, surpassing the current state-of-the-art methodologies. Joint PET-MRI reconstruction is a challenge in the PET-MRI system. This studies focused on the relationship extends beyond edges. In this study, PET is generated from MRI by learning joint probability distribution as the relationship.

description: The detection of the very early gamma-emission of a Type Ia supernova (SNIa) could provide a deep insight on the explosion mechanism and nature of the progenitor. However this has not been yet possible as a consequence of the expected low luminosity and the distance at which all the events have occurred up to now. A SNIa occurring in our Galaxy could provide a unique opportunity to perform such measurement. The problem is that the optical flux would probably be so attenuated by interstellar extinction that would prevent triggering the observations with gamma-spectrometers at the due time. In this paper we analyse the possibility of using the anticoincidence system (ACS) of the spectrometer SPI on board of the INTEGRAL space observatory for detecting the early gamma-ray emission of a SNIa as a function of the explosion model and distance as well as of pointing direction. Our results suggest that such detection is possible at about 6 - 12 days after the explosion and, at the same time, we can discard missing any hidden explosion during the lifetime of INTEGRAL.

description: In physics, density matrices are used to represent mixed states, i.e. probabilistic mixtures of pure states. This concept has previously been used to model lexical ambiguity. In this paper, we consider metaphor as a type of lexical ambiguity, and examine whether metaphorical meaning can be effectively modelled using mixtures of word senses. We find that modelling metaphor is significantly more difficult than other kinds of lexical ambiguity, but that our best-performing density matrix method outperforms simple baselines as well as some neural language models.

description: Abstract By applying genomics research and cutting-edge technologies to the imaging and analysis of molecular-based biomarkers, precision, or personalized, medicine (PM) is a groundbreaking approach to medical care which aims to predict, prevent and treat diseases by providing healthcare according to the genetic variability of individuals and the socio-environmental context in which they live. The impacts of PM on future use and access to healthcare will surely be enormous, and, anthropologists should not disregard them. As the most important outcome of biotechnological research, PM is generated in the lab, making anthropologists reflect about how to grasp engineers’ and other experts’ underlying modes of knowing inside this emergent fieldsite and how to analyse the discursive transduction of the outcomes of such modes through everyday practices outside it. The purpose of this paper is to reflect on this hypothesis, stressing that an experimental ethnographic collaboration might configure an effective way of doing this. Resumo Aplicando a investigação genómica e tecnologia de ponta à imagiologia e à análise de biomarcadores de nível molecular, a medicina de precisão, ou personalizada, (MP) é uma abordagem biomédica inovadora que visa prever, prevenir e tratar doenças fornecendo cuidados de saúde de acordo com a variabilidade genética dos indivíduos e o contexto socio-ambiental em que vivem. Os impactos da MP no acesso aos cuidados e aos serviços de saúde no futuro serão certamente enormes, e, os antropólogos não devem desconsiderá-los. Como resultado mais importante da investigação biotecnológica, a MP é gerada no laboratório, instando, por isso, os antropólogos a refletir sobre como capturar os modos de conhecer dos engenheiros e de outros especialistas dentro desse campo emergente e, adicionalmente, a refletir sobre como analisar a transdução discursiva dos resultados desses modos nas práticas quotidianas fora do laboratório. O objetivo deste artigo é refletir sobre a hipótese de as colaborações etnográficas experimentais poderem configurar um meio efetivo de se conseguir isso.
Generalized solutions of Polynomial and Transcendental Equations by the strong method of (Generalized Iterative Method approximation of Roots (GRIM) )

description: In this paper, we explain a new Iterative Method-Fixed Point and develop its convergence theory for finding approximate solutions of nonlinear equations in the setting of Banach spaces. First, we discuss the convergence analysis of our method by separating the equation into functions from which it is derived and the remaining part of the equation, according to the Generalized Theorem[1] for solving polynomial and transcendental equations. Solving an equation, either polynomial or transcendental, is solved only by categorizing the roots and not by some procedure of searching in individual intervals and this way was followed in the past by all existing methods. But the methods developed in the past are limited to isolated intervals without general acceptance. Finally, the method is strengthened by Newton's method to speed up the finding of the roots. At the end of the analysis, we give several examples of the application of the method.

description: As NLP systems are increasingly deployed at scale, concerns about their potential negative impacts have attracted the attention of the research community, yet discussions of risk have mostly been at an abstract level and focused on generic AI or NLP applications. We argue that clearer assessments of risks and harms to users--and concrete strategies to mitigate them--will be possible when we specialize the analysis to more concrete applications and their plausible users. As an illustration, this paper is grounded in cooking recipe procedural document question answering (ProcDocQA), where there are well-defined risks to users such as injuries or allergic reactions. Our case study shows that an existing language model, applied in "zero-shot" mode, quantitatively answers real-world questions about recipes as well or better than the humans who have answered the questions on the web. Using a novel questionnaire informed by theoretical work on AI risk, we conduct a risk-oriented error analysis that could then inform the design of a future system to be deployed with lower risk of harm and better performance.

The solution of Liouville's equation (1850, 1853) and its impact

description: Liouville's 1853 paper, in which he derived in closed form the general local solution of equation $u_{z\bar z}=\exp(u)$, is one of the few papers from the 19th century that 21st century mathematicians routinely quote as motivation for their work. We try and understand the reasons for the enduring importance of this paper. Our conclusions are the following: 1. Mathematics is not cumulative, but lost material may be recovered through examination of ancient works. 2. An apparent paradox is that the degree of dissemination of ideas and concepts among mathematicians is not determined only by geographic or social affiliation (countries, cities, scientific schools, etc.). On the contrary, the existence of common scientific goals makes it possible to transfer and use these concepts. 3. Older papers, because they are not influenced by modern classifications, can help generate ideas that do not arise naturally in a modern framework. Thus, a historical perspective can help bring about new mathematics and indeed, is a necessary dimension of mathematical research.

description: This paper presents a coherence-based resolution to the black hole information paradox using the Holon framework. The model describes black hole interiors as nested resonance shells, defines collapse via elegance loss, and shows how information is recovered through structured entanglement. A critical spin threshold (a/M ≈ 1.24) is identified as the boundary between decoherent and recoverable evaporation, offering testable predictions in black hole analogs and quantum gravity.

description: Background Exclusive breastfeeding is widely accepted as a key intervention with proven efficacy for improving newborn survival. Despite international commitments and targets to support and promote breastfeeding, there are still gaps in meeting and maintain coverage in many sub-Saharan African countries. This paper aimed to triangulate the perspectives of health workers, mothers, and their family members with facility assessments to identify gaps to improve breastfeeding support in in Malawi. Methods The study on breastfeeding barriers and facilitators was conducted in 2019 at one tertiary hospital and three secondary-level hospitals in Malawi. We conducted 61 semi-structured interviews with health workers, postnatal mothers, grandmothers, aunts, and fathers. In 2017, we carried out a neonatal care facility assessment using the World Health Organization (WHO) Integrated Maternal, Neonatal, and Child Quality of Care Assessment and Improvement Tool. Qualitative data were analysed using a thematic analysis approach within the Systems Framework for Health Policy. Results The district-level hospitals rated high with an average score of 4.8 out of 5 across the three facilities indicating that only minor improvements are needed to meet standards of care for early and exclusive breastfeeding. However, the score fell to an average of 3.5 out of 5 for feeding needs with sick neonates indicating that several improvements are needed in this area. The qualitative data demonstrated that breastfeeding was normalized as part of routine newborn care. However, the focus on routine practice and reliance on breastfeeding knowledge from prenatal counselling highlights inequities and neglect in specialized care and counselling among vulnerable mothers and newborns. Revitalisation of breastfeeding in Malawian facilities will require a systems approach that reinforces policies and guidelines; contextualises knowledge; engagement and empowerment of other relatives to the baby and task-sharing among health workers. Conclusions Breastfeeding is accepted as a social norm among health workers, mothers, grandmothers, aunts, and fathers in Malawi, yet vulnerable groups are underserved. Neglect in breastfeeding support among vulnerable populations exacerbates health inequities. Health systems strengthening related to breastfeeding requires a concerted effort among health workers, mothers, grandmothers, aunts, and fathers while remaining grounded in contexts to support family-centered hospital care.
