description: A character network is a graph extracted from a narrative, in which vertices represent characters and edges correspond to interactions between them. A number of narrative-related problems can be addressed automatically through the analysis of character networks, such as summarization, classification, or role detection. Character networks are particularly relevant when considering works of fictions (e.g. novels, plays, movies, TV series), as their exploitation allows developing information retrieval and recommendation systems. However, works of fiction possess specific properties making these tasks harder. This survey aims at presenting and organizing the scientific literature related to the extraction of character networks from works of fiction, as well as their analysis. We first describe the extraction process in a generic way, and explain how its constituting steps are implemented in practice, depending on the medium of the narrative, the goal of the network analysis, and other factors. We then review the descriptive tools used to characterize character networks, with a focus on the way they are interpreted in this context. We illustrate the relevance of character networks by also providing a review of applications derived from their analysis. Finally, we identify the limitations of the existing approaches, and the most promising perspectives.
The development of a climate facade for a hot humid climate

description: 1.	Introduction
For many new buildings in the United Arabic Emirates, in cities like Dubai and Abu Dhabi, the “green building concept” is the starting point of design. These buildings should have a modern and open character, integrated with Arabic cultural elements. One of the goals of the green building concept is a low energy consumption. Some de-sign starting points of energy reduction are:
-	cool as much as possible with water instead of air
-	reduce solar heat entering the façade
-	make use of daylight as much as possible
At the moment several buildings with almost 90% glass façades are developed in the U.A.E.. This seems to create both problems of overheating and a high energy consump-tion. However, with the use of a climate façade, it is possible to compensate for these negative influences.

2.	Methods
Design and physical principles of conventional climate façades were analysed. Based on these analyses the climate façade concept was adapted to hot and humid climates. For instance, double glass on the outside should have a low g-value of at least approx. 0.3. By means of simulations in TRNSYS and CFD (Phoenics), predictions of temperatures were made. A mock-up room with a climate façade was built. Measurements of air flow, temperature, solar radiation and humidity gave a lot of information. Moreover, indicative measurements showed the effect of this type of façade equipped with reflect-ing blinds on visual comfort.
One of the most important evaluation parameters is the technical performance of the façade; damage to the façade due to local high temperatures or quick changes in tem-peratures should be prevented.
In order to predict the energy qualities, the climate façade is compared with other fa-çades like a conventional façade with solar protected (reflecting) glass, a natural venti-lated second skin façade and a façade with solar shading elements on the outside.

3.	Results
The results show a good relation between simulations and measurements of the thermal performance of the façade. The measurements give also some information about both the energetic and visual performance. With this information the performance of other types of climate façade’s can be predicted more accurately in the future.

4. Conclusion and recommendations
This research of the climate façade shows the usefulness of design tools and shows inspiring new ideas for open transparent buildings in hot humid climates. Recommenda-tions are given about measurements in hot humid climates, the performance of mock-up rooms in these areas and control systems.

Subjects: socialization; newcomers; social receptivity; adjustment.

description: The purpose of this paper is to review the literature that investigated the socialization process, considering different perspectives and highlighting existing gaps. Ultimately, proposing a comprehensive theoretical model of social receptivity of newcomers. In the first part, the focus is on the flourishing literature that examined the newcomer’s perspective of socialization, which was depicted as a learning or an adaptation process. In the second part, the studies that investigated the co-workers’ perspective during the socialization process are reported. The social receptivity to a new member is interpreted as the resulting of two levels: the newcomer characteristics and the co-workers’ characteristics. In the third and last part, relying on the two lines of research reviewed, it is proposed a model of the socialization process, in which the two levels of analysis predict social receptivity. In turn, social receptivity should intervene in enhancing newcomer adjustment, as depicted by proximal (role clarity, self-efficacy, knowledge of organizational culture, and stress) and distal (job attitudes, engagement, performance, and turnover) outcomes.

description: Recently deep learning-based methods have been applied in image compression and achieved many promising results. In this paper, we propose an improved hybrid layered image compression framework by combining deep learning and the traditional image codecs. At the encoder, we first use a convolutional neural network (CNN) to obtain a compact representation of the input image, which is losslessly encoded by the FLIF codec as the base layer of the bit stream. A coarse reconstruction of the input is obtained by another CNN from the reconstructed compact representation. The residual between the input and the coarse reconstruction is then obtained and encoded by the H.265/HEVC-based BPG codec as the enhancement layer of the bit stream. Experimental results using the Kodak and Tecnick datasets show that the proposed scheme outperforms the state-of-the-art deep learning-based layered coding scheme and traditional codecs including BPG in both PSNR and MS-SSIM metrics across a wide range of bit rates, when the images are coded in the RGB444 domain.

SUMMARY
The economical casualties could be of tremendous value with the restoration of the pipelines themselves, tenant relocation and other additional works if the heat supply break in the district heating pipelines happens because of the severe outdoor temperature.
The feasibilities of the freezing in heating system of existing apartment buildings at various duration of the heat supply break in regard to building envelope characteristics and outdoor temperature, as well as the danger of freezing in main heat supply pipes in the building are analyzed with the purpose to avoid or decrease the level of possible losses. The special calculation method is composed for the assessment according to outdoor infiltration level, thermal resistance and heat capacity of the envelope and heat supply pipelines in the building.
In regard to the removal experience at accomplished heat supply breaks and with purpose to decrease risk of the future casualties, the following investigation was been performed:
-	The limit period of chilling down to 0 oC in the spaces of apartment buildings and in the main pipelines of the heating system is assessed due to thermal capacity level, thermal resistance of the building envelope elements, outdoor air infiltration level, insulation type of the pipelines at calculated outdoor temperature (-15, -20, -25, -30 oC) of in the moment of heat supply break;
-	The limit values of heat supply break duration is determined for the restart of heat supply after a accident in heat supply with the purpose to uphold the heating system in the order of existing apartment buildings of mass quality and of the new construction type;
-	The main recommendations for safety measures implementation are suggested.

description: Modifiable lifestyle factors can affect body weight, glucose tolerance, insulin resistance, and long-term glucose control. Each factor exerts a different effect on insulin resistance and/or the development/progression to T2DM. Individuals with one or more non-modifiable risk factors, in conjunction with adopting unhealthy lifestyle factors (poor diet, decreased physical fitness, etc.), place themselves at a greater risk for insulin resistance, poor glucose control, and the development/ progression to T2DM. This study examined the two specific risk factors (dietary macronutrient content and physical fitness) both alone and in combination on insulin resistance and glucose control in a group of individuals across the spectrum of glucose tolerance.

description: Therapists self-disclose when they reveal personal information to the patient. Literature reports motivations for using self-disclosure and which information is more appropriate for this purpose. In spite of the potential usefulness of this strategy, indications about how to make it are often unclear and contradict each other. There is no a current and consistent rationale for deciding when to selfdisclose and with which purposes. In particular, information is lacking about how to deliver self-disclosure on the basis of case-formulation. We contend here that in order to self-disclose therapists must form predictions about what benefits they could achieve thanks to an understanding of patients’ maladaptive interpersonal schemas, interpersonal cycles active in session, patients’ metacognitive capacities and the motives that guide the patients in each specific moment. A detailed case example is used in order to explain how Metacognitive Interpersonal therapists deliver self-disclosure on the basis of a fine-grained case formulation. Finally, we suggest how this rationale can be adopted by clinicians of any orientation in order to operate self-disclosure that are, at the same time, genuine and well-formalized.

description: In order to validate or invalidate a large class of low energy effective theories, the Swampland conjecture has attracted significant attention, recently. It can be stated as inequalities on the potential of a scalar field which is conjectured to satisfy certain constraints. In this work, we discuss the theoretical viability of deformed Starobinky gravity in light of the refined Swampland conjectures. We consider the deformation of the form $f(R)\sim R^{2(1-α)}$ with $α$ being a constant. We then constrain $α$ using the spectral index of curvature perturbation $n_s$ and the tensor-to-scalar ratio $r$. We demonstrate that the model under consideration is in strong tension with the refined swampland conjecture. However, regarding our analysis with proper choices of parameters $a,\,b=1- a$ and $q$, we discover that the model can always satisfy this new refined swampland conjecture. Therefore, the model might be in landscape since the further refining de Sitter swampland conjecture is satisfied.

description: Large scale measurements of indoor air humidity levels in buildings is reqiured for many purposes. One of the most important input parameters when doing a hygrothermal analysis of the building envelope using simulation models is knowledge about typical levels of indoor air humidity. Knowing the typical variations of indoor climate in a specific type of buildings, it is also possible to compare with measurements in one specific building, for instance to assess the risk for moisture problems.

In this study indoor air humidity levels have been measured in 118 houses in Trondheim, Norway. The houses were randomly selected for each of the following types; detached one family houses, semidetached two family houses, undetached (chained) houses and apartment buildings. The temperature and relative humidity were measured at 15 minutes interval over a period of one week during the heating season. The measurements were made in bedrooms, living rooms, bathrooms, cellars and outdoors. The moisture supply, which is the difference between indoor and outdoor absolute humidity, was calculated. The data are analyzed in regard to averages and variation during the day and week. The effect of influencing factors such as type of house, type of room, age of house and ventilation type are also analyzed.

description: In European Standards EN 15026 and EN ISO 13788 the moisture transport in a building envelope is assumed only as one dimensional transport. In fact three-dimensional moisture transport is occurred due to layer perforation or building details. The paper is focused on cases of flat roofs when a vapour barrier is perforated. The sd-value measurement of different vapour barriers with different degree of perforation has been done by the Wet-Cup method. The results of the measurement bring a new view on a design of flat roofs. At the end of the paper we discussed new recommendations for architects how to design more efficiently flat roofs.

description: In the critical transition from university student to full-time teacher that occurs during student teaching, preservice teachers can request assistance from mentors. Yet, some preservice teachers rarely ask for help. To understand when and why preservice teachers seek help, a self-regulated learning framework was used to measure and evaluate connections between perceived mentor support, self-efficacy, and help-seeking. Recognizing that help-seeking changes over time, a sample of preservice teachers (N = 130) reported on their experiences before, during, and after student teaching. Self-efficacy was associated with help-seeking regardless of mentor support perceptions. The longitudinal nature of this study extended previous research findings by verifying the predictions of the inverted U-curve hypothesis over time, confirming that help-seeking becomes more frequent when self-efficacy becomes more moderate.

description: In this paper the temperature conditions on flat roofs are discussed considering the influence of long-wave radiation to the sky and the effect of a parapet as an important factor for the night-time roof temperature. The parapet leads to retention of cold air on the roof. Results of measurements on flat roofs and special meteorological data collected at the field test site in Holzkirchen are presented. For realistic assumptions of the boundary conditions a heat transfer coefficient depending on the ambient conditions including the temporary insulation effects of a cold surface air pond forming between the parapet walls is determined for flat roofs. The surface measurements on flat roofs with a parapet show a significant decrease of the temperature below the ambient air conditions during night time. These surface temperature recordings and meteorological data are used to validate hygrothermal simulations.
Furthermore the possibility of interstitial condensation is investigated using an adapted hygrothermal simulation tool. The results show that the use of reflecting surfaces on flat roofs can lead to severe moisture accumulation in colder regions of Europe. Thus the color of the roofing membrane appears to be an important factor for the hygrothermal performance and moisture tolerance of certain constructions.

Strandesia Stuhlmann, 1888
Cypris (Strandesia) Stuhlmann, 1888 — Vavra, 1895: 18. Acanthocypris Claus, 1892 — Martens & Behen, 1994: 47. Neocypris Sars, 1901 — Martens & Behen, 1994: 47.
Type species: Strandesia mercatorum (Vavra, 1895)
Abbreviated diagnosis. Carapace morphology diverse in shape (subovate, subelliptical, moderately elongated), some species with prominent spines and/or (dorsal) protuberances. Carapace in frontal view symmetrical, not oblique. Valve surface smooth, but often with pitted, reticulated or punctate LV with groove along anterior, ventral and posterior margins, and with or without one inner list along anterior margin. Inner lamella calcified, anteriorly wider than posteriorly. Selvage onot RV clearly inwardly displaced along anterior and posterior margin. LV overlapping RV on all sides. T1 with a-, b- and d-setae. Md α-seta smooth, unsegmented. Attachment of the caudal ramus stout, with Triebel’s loop large, situated in the main branch; ventral and dorsal branches present. Caudal ramus relatively stout, with fine setulae on ventral margin, in some species set with rows of spines. Hemipenis with lateral shield large and elongated, in some species with distal end wing-like and with a symmetrical penile attachment situated at the proximal connected bases; one spermiduct loop. Zenker’s organ with cone-shaped chitinous sheet at both ends.
Differential diagnosis. Strandesia has Cypricercus as its closest relative. It can be distinguished from it by the unsegmented α-seta on Md-palp, the presence of a small channel in the fused zone of the LV and by features of the Zenker’s organ (Table 1). Strandesia can be distinguished from Astenocypris and Tanycypris by the presence of a continuous marginal groove on LV and of a d-seta on T1; and from Bradleystrandesia by the position of the Triebel loop in the attachment of the caudal ramus. It can also be confused with Bradleycypris, but the latter is primarily characterized by the presence of clearly oblique carapace in frontal view and the absence of a well developed inner list on LV.

description: To encrypt sensitive information existing in a color DICOM images, a medical privacy protection scheme (called as MPPS) based on chaos and DNA coding was proposed by using two coupled chaotic systems to produce cryptographic primitives. Relying on some empirical analyses and experimental results, the designers of MPPS claimed that it can withstand a chosen-plaintext attack and some other classic attacking models. However, this statement is groundless. In this paper, we investigate the essential properties of MPPS and DNA coding, and we then propose an efficient chosen-plaintext attack to disclose its equivalent secret-key. The attack only needs $\lceil \log_{256}(3\cdot M\cdot N)\rceil+4$ pair of chosen plain-images and the corresponding cipher-images, where $M \times N$ and ``3" are the size of the RGB color image and the number of color channels, respectively. In addition, the other claimed superiorities are questioned from the perspective of modern cryptography. Both theoretical and experimental results are presented to support the efficiency of the proposed attack and the other reported security faults. The proposed cryptanalysis results will promote the proper application of DNA encoding to protect multimedia privacy data, especially that in a DICOM image.

description: Isotopic differences of oxygen-18 and deuterium varies for several reactions and transport of moisture in building materials. It has recently been used in the fields of hydrogeology (Clark I.D. et al. 1989, Mazor E. 2004), geology (Javoy M. et al. 1986), and environmental science (Wagner R. et al. 2006). The preliminary research devoted to isotopes in Building Physics was performed by Gudmundsson (2001). Based on unique fingerprint of water sample its origin was revealed and the source of excessive water was determined.
Water consists of various isotopes of oxygen and hydrogen. In the environment, apart from 1H and 16O, there are also their most common sister isotopes: deuterium D and oxygen-18. Isotope fractionation (change in its concentration) occurs in any thermodynamic reaction. It is a consequence of the differences of thermodynamic properties for various molecular specious. Therefore the knowledge of isotope fractionations may be useful during the analysis of moisture transport and processes incorporated.
To carry out the isotope analysis of pores water one has to extrude water from voids. Then the water samples are tested in mass spectrometer. The analysis of the influence of capillary suction and water vapor diffusion on the hydrogen and oxygen isotopes ratio was preformed. In the last century water diffusion through the column of porous domain was used to separate isotope. Material whose substantial part of voids are gel pores (cementous materials) acts as a membrane during isotope transport. We took advantage of this method in the determination of adsorption isotherms. By the lower relative humidity (RH) mono and then polilayer of water molecules is created on the surface of solid skeleton. When RH increases in the smallest pores the meniscuses form and capillary condensation starts. Therefore one can expect the differences in amount of adsorption of various water isotopes as well. In all these studies the light concrete samples ro = 960 kg/m3 , based on expanded clay aggregates and cement CEM I 32.5, served as a porous material. The isotope analysis was performed in the University of Reykjavik using mass spectrometer Finnigan DELTA XP. The results of performed experiments indicate that moisture transport has an influence on the isotopic composition of water. Therefore the isotope analysis can be a useful tool in the investigation of moisture behavior in porous building materials.

description: Given new and emerging standards and requirements in Europe regarding energy performance of buildings (see, for example, EPBD 2002/91), it has become increasingly important to improve the energy effectiveness of building operation. Toward this end, efficient daylight-responsive systems for illumination of buildings (including installation of automatic lighting control systems) can provide a significant contribution (EN 15193).
At the "CUnEdI: Centro Universitario Edifici Intelligenti" of the University of Trento, study and research activities have been curried out in order to define a new methodology for the design of lighting systems, using automation technology to optimize the energy demand.
In this paper, we present the application of this design method and the final results of the yearly energy saving amount for a specific case study: the MART-Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art of Trento and  Rovereto (Italy).
The lighting control system of the museum was operated in a conventional manner: luminaires was switched on and off manually by the staff in a central station control. In order to improve the energy efficiency of the lighting system, different automated control regimes were implemented and monitored over the first year of installation: occupancy detectors, illuminance sensors, and dimming actuators, have been installed and programmed specifically for each scenario, defined on a temporal and by event definition.
We compared the lighting energy use in the museum operated in the traditional manner and implemented with the automated scenarios: the 50% of lighting energy has been saved, covering in one year the installation cost.

description: Over the last few decades several economic, political, and technological changes surrounding work have left people insecure about their jobs. Traditionally, research on insecure workers has focused on organizational consequences of job insecurity and on employees’ psychophysical well-being. However, some recent studies found that job insecurity is also associated with extraorganizational outcomes related to saving and spending decision-making. The purpose of this paper is to replicate in the Slovakian context the study of Lozza et al. (2017) to examine the effect of job insecurity on such extra-organizational outcomes. Using a simulation experiment research design, 361 Slovakian participants were asked to evaluate their job insecurity and their inclination towards daily consumption and major life decisions. Results support the findings from the original study. It is shown that changes of both contract of employment and context can affect perceived job insecurity, with context (e.g., economic downturns) having a stronger influence than contract of employment. In addition, changes in job insecurity significantly affect withholding daily consumption and major life decisions’, with perceived job insecurity having a greater influence on the latter. The effects of context-related specificities, such as employment protection legislation, are also discussed.

description: We obtain asymptotic formulae for the Steklov eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of curvilinear polygons in terms of their side lengths and angles. These formulae are quite precise: the errors tend to zero as the spectral parameter tends to infinity. The Steklov problem on planar domains with corners is closely linked to the classical sloshing and sloping beach problems in hydrodynamics; as we show it is also related to quantum graphs. Somewhat surprisingly, the arithmetic properties of the angles of a curvilinear polygon have a significant effect on the boundary behaviour of the Steklov eigenfunctions. Our proofs are based on an explicit construction of quasimodes. We use a variety of methods, including ideas from spectral geometry, layer potential analysis, and some new techniques tailored to our problem.

description: Homophobic bullying is bullying related to sexual orientation and gender identity. This study investigated the moderating role of the dark triad traits (i.e., psychopathy, narcissism, and Machiavellianism) in the relationship between being a victim of homophobic bullying and being in turn a perpetrator of homophobic bullying. Participants were 285 adolescents from 16 to 20 years old. Victimization and perpetration of homophobic bullying and the Dark Triad Traits were measured. The moderation effects of dark triad traits were tested using a hierarchical regression analysis. All interaction terms (i.e., victim*psychopathy, victim*narcissism, and victim*Machiavellianism) were significant. Being a victim of homophobic bullying was related to being a perpetrator of homophobic bullying only in the presence of high psychopathy and narcissism. Conversely, high Machiavellianism buffered the relationship between being a victim of homophobic bullying and being a perpetrator of homophobic bullying. Results showed that not all dark triad traits are maladaptive per se. Research and clinical implications are discussed.

description: Researchers are often interested in using longitudinal data to estimate the causal effects of hypothetical time-varying treatment interventions on the mean or risk of a future outcome. Standard regression/conditioning methods for confounding control generally fail to recover causal effects when time-varying confounders are themselves affected by past treatment. In such settings, estimators derived from Robins's g-formula may recover time-varying treatment effects provided sufficient covariates are measured to control confounding by unmeasured risk factors. The package gfoRmula implements in R one such estimator: the parametric g-formula. This estimator easily adapts to binary or continuous time-varying treatments as well as contrasts defined by static or dynamic, deterministic or random treatment interventions, as well as interventions that depend on the natural value of treatment. The package accommodates survival outcomes as well as binary or continuous end of follow-up outcomes. For survival outcomes, the package has different options for handling competing events. This paper describes the gfoRmula package, along with motivating background, features, and examples.

title: The roles of stressful life events and religiosity in adolescent depression

description: Religiosity, the extent to which an individual is committed to the religion he/she professes, may be a protective factor against depression. Although in the Italian socio-cultural context religion is a predominant feature of society, the role of religiosity as a psychological buffer against depression in adolescence is understudied. The present study explored (a) the association between recent stressful life events and depressive tendencies and (b) whether higher religiosity could be a predictor of lower depressive symptomatology controlling for the effects of stressful events in a sample of Italian adolescents. Two hundred seventy-five adolescents completed the Children’s Depression Inventory and two questionnaires measuring religiosity and perceived stressful events, respectively. Fifteen percent of the sample reported depressive tendencies above clinical thresholds. Having experienced school problems and parents’ separation was associated with higher depressive symptomatology. When religiosity was added in the logistic model, the effects of the stressors became non-significant, and a significant effect of religiosity emerged (β= -0.55, p= 0.01). Adolescents with higher religiosity reported lower depressive tendencies, irrespective of the stressors’ type. Religiosity might be a psychosocial buffer against depression in adolescence.

description: Heat transfer processes in buildings are always unsteady at real conditions. On the other hand practical calculations of heat exchange processes in buildings are based on steady-state process equations. In spite of modern microclimate system management, according to practical observations and theoretical investigations, undesirable changes of indoor heat behaviour occur. Such changes have negative influence on indoor heat comfort and misrepresent real energy demands of a building.
The problem is influenced by factors, which have impact on thermal mode of a building. Solving of this problem involves identification and quantitative analysis of these factors. This might be useful in predicting and minimising negative influence of these factors on building microclimate and energy use.
