Copyright for Teachers and Librarians in the 21 st Century (review)

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Reviewed by: Copyright for Teachers and Librarians in the 21st Century Kate Quealy-Gainer Butler, Rebecca P. Copyright for Teachers and Librarians in the 21st Century. Neal-Schuman, 2011. 276p. Paper ed. ISBN 978-1555707385 $70.00. An invaluable resource for media specialists and school librarians, this accessible guide offers a thorough look at copyright law, negotiating the principles of fair use and public domain to reveal their relevant applications in the classroom and library settings. The first portion of the book gives a general introduction to copyright law (both federal and international) and its associated concepts, citing particularly thorny areas and laying out the consequences of copyright infringement. The second and perhaps most helpful part describes the applications of the law to specific types of media, including internet materials and electronic resources, as well the impact of copyright law on interlibrary loan and distance education. Drawing on her experiences with teachers and educators through her copyright workshops, Butler presents a plethora of real-world examples that address the most common questions librarians may face (such as "Can I copy this to use in class?") and more complicated and obscure issues (such as "Can we videotape the performance of the school band playing this copyrighted song and upload it to the web?"). Also immensely helpful to the professional on the go are the easy-to-follow flowcharts that pepper the chapters and will allow librarians to easily become their organization's resident copyright expert.

Digital twins and deep maps

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Mapping is now thoroughly digital at all stages of production and maps are widely used in digital form. This digital turn has transformed the nature of mapping and maps. Maps need no longer be static representations, but rather constitute spatial media, providing an interactive, dynamic means for creating, discussing, and sharing spatial information and mediating spatial practices. This has included the development of 3D mapping, including nascent digital twins and digital deep maps. In this short paper, we reflect on our attempts to produce a 3D city information model for Dublin that acts as a basic digital twin, which we have also used to explore deep mapping, as well as map projecting data onto a printed 3D map model of the city. We consider what digital twins and deep maps mean for how we understand the nature of mapping, arguing that they produce a dyadic intertwining of map and territory; a literal, material expression of post‐representational, ontogenetic conceptions of mapping.

Measuring Unfair Inequality: Reconciling Equality of Opportunity and Freedom from Poverty

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

Rising income inequalities are widely debated in public and academic discourse. In this paper, we contribute to this debate by proposing a new family of measures of unfair inequality. To do so, we acknowledge that inequality is not bad per se, but that its underlying sources need to be taken into account. Thereby, this paper is the first to reconcile two prominent fairness principles, namely equality of opportunity and freedom from poverty, into a joint measure of unfair inequality. Two empirical applications provide important new insights on the development of unfair inequality both over time (in the US) and across countries (in Europe). First, unfair inequality shows different time trends and country rankings compared to total inequality. Second, average unfair inequality doubles when complementing the ideal of an equal opportunity society with poverty aversion. Furthermore, we show that an exclusive focus on top incomes may misguide fairness judgments.
Fecundity and Survival of Grain Aphid at Various Growth Stages of Waxy and Waxless Triticale

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

Plants use many strategies to protect themselves against insects.Morphological, anatomical, and chemical plant properties play an important role in natural plant resistance to herbivore insects.The effects of triticale genotypes with different wax covers at various growth stages was studied on the fecundity and survival of the grain aphid Sitobion avenae (Fabricius) (Hemiptera: Aphididae).The aphids that fed on the organs of the waxless genotypes survived longer and produced signifi cantly more nymphs.Furthermore, mortality of nymphs on the waxy plants was signifi cantly higher than on waxless plants.The chemical analysis also showed that the waxless plants had lower levels of fl avonoids in comparison with waxy plants.Waxless seedlings had lower levels of fl avonoids at every studied organ.The obtained results indicate that the level of fl avonoids might play an important role in the resistance of winter triticale genotypes to grain aphid.The content of fl avonoids was associated with the values of resistance between the waxy and waxless plants.It was concluded that the waxy plants that contained high levels of fl avonoids were less preferred by the grain aphid.ces,which indicated no signifi cant change in either periphyton or macrozoobenthos following such episodes.
[Prevention of Spinal Cord Ischemia During Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Spinal cord ischemia(SCI) has been devastating complication of endovascular thoracic and thoracoabdominal aortic repair. Spinal cord blood supply arises from not only segmental artery, subclavian artery, hypogastric artery and these branches, but also perivertebral vasculature and paravertebral muscle and small arterial network, and risk factors of SCI were multifactorial. There are several adjuncts/strategies which are utilized to minimize the incidence of SCI: cerebrospinal fluid drainage, perioperative management of high mean arterial pressure, intraoperative evoked potential monitoring, and staged thoracoabdominal aortic repair. Recent developments including near-infrared spectroscopy, minimally invasive segmental artery coil embolization, and temporary aneurysm sac perfusion should be evaluated to prevent SCI.
Sex differences in the relationship between cognitive impairment and overweight or obesity in late life

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract The relationship between body weight changes in late life and cognitive function is controversial. We investigated whether weight gain or loss in late life affected cognitive function in community-dwelling older adults over a 3-year period. Our study used data from the Survey of Living Conditions and Welfare Needs of Korean Older Persons and included 3859 subjects (aged ≥65 years) with normal cognition at baseline. At baseline and the 3-year follow-up, body weight and height were measured, and cognitive function was assessed using the mini-mental state examination. Based on their body mass index (BMI) at baseline and follow-up, we divided the subjects into 4 groups: weight gain (baseline BMI <23 kg/m 2 and follow-up BMI ≥23 kg/m 2 ); weight loss (baseline BMI ≥23 kg/m 2 and follow-up BMI <23 kg/m 2 ); stable overweight/obese (BMI ≥23 kg/m 2 at both visits); and stable non-overweight/obese (BMI <23 kg/m 2 at both visits). Incidence rates (IRs) of cognitive impairment per 100 persons and IR ratios (IRRs) were calculated for each group and adjusted for confounding variables. At the 3-year follow-up, 610 cases of cognitive impairment (15.8%) were identified. The stable overweight/obese group had the lowest IR (14.0, 95% confidence interval [CI] 12.45–15.71) and was therefore used as the reference group when calculating IRRs for cognitive impairment. When men and women were evaluated separately, IRs between groups were significantly different only for women. The stable non-overweight/obese group (IRR 1.65, 95% CI 1.22–2.22) and the weight gain group (IRR 1.93, 95% CI 1.24–3.01) had higher IRs than those in the stable overweight/obese group. As a gain or loss of adiposity, the IR of the weight gain group (IRR 1.17, 95% CI 0.74–1.84) was not different from that of the stable non-overweight/obese group. Also, the IR of weight loss group (IRR 1.09, 95% CI 0.71–1.67) was not significantly different from that of the stable overweight/obese group. We suggest that overweight or obese older women at baseline had cognitive benefits. However, additional gain or loss of adiposity in late life did not affect the risk of cognitive impairment.
Estimation of End-Diastole in Cardiac Spectral Doppler Using Deep Learning

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Electrocardiogram (ECG) is often used together with a spectral Doppler ultrasound to separate heart cycles by determining the end-diastole locations. However, the ECG signal is not always recorded. In such cases, the cardiac cycles can be estimated manually from the ultrasound data retrospectively. We present a deep learning-based method for automatic detection of the end-diastoles in spectral Doppler spectrograms. The method uses a combination of a convolutional neural network (CNN) for extracting features and a recurrent neural network (RNN) for modeling temporal relations. In echocardiography, there are three Doppler spectrogram modalities, continuous wave, pulsed wave, and tissue velocity Doppler. Both the training and test data sets include all three modalities. The model was tested on 643 spectrograms coming from different hospitals than in the training data set. For the purposes described in this work, a valid end-diastole detection is defined as a prediction being closer than 60 ms to the reference value. We will refer to these as true detections. Similarly, a prediction farther away is defined as nonvalid or false detections. The method automatically rejects spectrograms where the detection of an end-diastole has low confidence. When setting the algorithm to reject 1.9%, the method achieved 97.7% true detections with a mean error of 14 ms and had 2.5% false detections on the remaining spectrograms.
Assessing the quality of public services: For‐profits, chains, and concentration in the hospital market

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Abstract We examine variation in US hospital quality across ownership, chain membership, and market concentration. We propose a new measure of quality derived from penalties imposed on hospitals under the flagship Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program, and use regression models to risk‐adjust for hospital characteristics and county demographics. While the overall association between for‐profit ownership and quality is negative, there is evidence of substantial heterogeneity. The quality of for‐profit relative to non‐profit hospitals declines with increasing market concentration. Moreover, the quality gap is primarily driven by for‐profit chains. While the competition result mirrors earlier findings in the literature, the chain result appears to be new: it suggests that any potential quality gains afforded by chains are mostly realized by not‐for‐profit hospitals.
Hybrid Substructure Assembly Techniques for Efficient and Robust Optimization of Additional Structures in Late Phase NVH Design: A Comparison

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

In certain circumstances, not all desired NVH properties of a given mechanical structure, e.g. a vehicle, are satisfied at the end of a development process. In this situation, NVH properties of an existing structure must be improved while extensive changes of this structure are not practicable. Consequently, additional components such as mass dampers are included to improve the NVH properties. The arising task is to determine the optimal configuration of these additional components. If one assumes that no valid or accurate simulation model of the underlying structure exists, a hybrid substructuring approach is essential. The existing structure is measured at the required positions, the additional structures are modeled virtually, subsequently they are combined to a hybrid assembly. The optimization includes the repeated evaluation of such an hybrid assembly. In this contribution two major strategies are regarded: frequency based substructuring (FBS) and state-space substructuring (SSS). The possibly large number of evaluations imposes a greater demand on the computational efficiency compared to onetime assemblies. Furthermore, properties concerning the robustness towards measurement noise of the assembly technique play an important role. Based on a common notation for both assembly techniques, the relevant properties—efficiency and robustness—are compared on a numerical example.
Return to work advice after total hip and knee replacement

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Abstract Background Little is known about the information and advice on return to work received by patients undergoing total hip and knee replacement. Aims To investigate patients’ views and experiences of work-related advice provided by clinicians, and how this might be improved. Methods Semi-structured interviews with patients who had undergone total hip and knee replacement, were working prior to surgery and intended to return to work. Data were analysed thematically. Results Forty-five patients from three UK regions were consented. Eight themes were identified including lack of information, lack of an individualized approach and accessibility and acceptability of information dissemination methods. Patients identified their information needs and who they felt was best placed to address them. Conclusions Patients receive little information and advice on return to work following total hip and knee replacement, although not all patients required this. However, more focus is needed on providing this, and patients should be screened to ensure resources are best targeted with interventions being tailored to the individual.
Measuring Positive Emotionality: A Review of Instruments Assessing Love

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Love is a multidimensional construct that has proven difficult to define and, consequently, challenging to measure. A variety of available instruments purport to measure aspects of love, 9 of which are reviewed and discussed in this article. Researchers and practitioners are advised to study definitions of the love construct as well as psychometric properties of instruments in selecting measures of love appropriate to their purposes.
Plastique animée - embodied music moving in space

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Plastique animée is an integral part of the eurhythmics method, its artistic superstructure. It concerns the sphere of artistic activities and practice in the sense of creating an artistic work, usually in the form of a music choreography or improvisation. The eurhythmics method along with plastique animée has been present in Poland since the beginning of the 20th century and developed truly original and valuable features and forms. In the article Polish tradition of eurhythmics, relations between movement and music, creating improvisation and form are mentioned and completed by the 'eurhythmics in progress’ seen from the perspective of contemporary creative tools, performative arts and common structural elements. This article is published on the digital platform "Atlas of Eurhythmics" https://www.kmh.se/in-english/atlas-of-eurhythmics/results-from-the-project.html
Evaluation of certified B Corps in the apparel, footwear and accessory industry

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the sustainability performances of apparel, footwear and accessory (AFA) B Corps, providing companies, especially micro, small and medium-sized enterprises, with reasonable suggestions on how to incorporate the concept of sustainability efficiently. Design/methodology/approach This study focused on 117 AFA B Corps. B Corps’ overall sustainability performances consist of their performances in the five areas of governance, workers, community, environment and customers. First, the 117 B Corps’ performances in these areas were compared. Second, multiple regression models were built to predict the B Corps’ sustainability performances based on their inherent characteristics (headquarter location, age, size and industry sector). Third, according to the B Corps’ performances in the five areas, the B Corps were clustered using the hieratical clustering method. Findings This study found that the B Corps’ performances in different areas were significantly different and their performances in the area of the community were better than in the other four areas. The B Corps’ characteristics were correlated to their sustainability performances. For example, company size was positively related to the B Corps’ performances in the area of workers. Additionally, Clusters 1, 2 and 3 were identified and characterized by their competitive performances in the areas of governance, workers and community, respectively. Originality/value This study contributes to the knowledge of AFA B Corps’ sustainability performances, identifying the weakness and strongness of the sustainable practices accepted by existing AFA B Corps and lending insights regarding how to predict and improve sustainability performances.
Almost everywhere convergence of Vilenkin-Fourier series of 𝐻¹ functions

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

In [5] Ladhawala and Pankratz proved that if f f is in dyadic H 1 {H^1} , then any lacunary sequence of partial sums of the Walsh-Fourier series of f f converges a.e. We generalize their theorem to Vilenkin-Fourier series. In obtaining this result, we prove a vector-valued inequality for the partial sums of Vilenkin-Fourier series.
Hypercubic storage layout and transforms in arbitrary dimensions using GPUs and CUDA

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Many simulations in the physical sciences are expressed in terms of rectilinear arrays of variables. It is attractive to develop such simulations for use in 1‐, 2‐, 3‐ or arbitrary physical dimensions and also in a manner that supports exploitation of data‐parallelism on fast modern processing devices. We report on data layouts and transformation algorithms that support both conventional and data‐parallel memory layouts. We present our implementations expressed in both conventional serial C code as well as in NVIDIA's Compute Unified Device Architecture concurrent programming language for use on general purpose graphical processing units. We discuss: general memory layouts; specific optimizations possible for dimensions that are powers‐of‐two and common transformations, such as inverting, shifting and crinkling. We present performance data for some illustrative scientific applications of these layouts and transforms using several current GPU devices and discuss the code and speed scalability of this approach.

Special Olympics’ Employee Response to Organizational Change

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The purpose of the research study was to explore how Special Olympics’ staff groups differ in response to organizational change. The study was conducted in order to determine if there was a relationship between employees holding various positions within Special Olympics and their level of job satisfaction, specifically during times of change in the organization. Previously, there has been minimal research conducted in the non-profit sector, and Special Olympics exclusively, in terms of linking job satisfaction and organizational change. Thus very little was known on this particular topic. A survey was used in order to collect primary, quantitative data based on the responses of Special Olympics employees in the states of New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. The types of questions asked in this survey related mainly to job satisfaction, organizational culture, organizational change, and demographic information. The results of the study yielded no significant relationship between job satisfaction and staff groupings, or income and age. Although the results did not show a significant relationship between staff grouping, job satisfaction, and organizational change, the findings attempted to fill a gap in the current research. The study could serve as a foundation for other research to grow the current body of knowledge about Special Olympics and/or the non-profit sector.
The Persistent Paradigm: Older Worker Stereotypes in the New Zealand Hotel Industry

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

In this article, the authors analyze stereotypical views about older workers in the New Zealand hotel industry to determine their likely influence on labor shortages. Data were collected from senior hotel managers using postal and online questionnaires. Overall, respondents were, at best, 80% or less confident in older workers' skills, attitudes, and abilities, and at least 42% confident. Results show the tendency to hold stereotypical views, which may limit the recruitment of older workers. Recommendations for overcoming labor shortages include the need to shift from the paradigmatic view of youth as the main labor source, to appointing staff on the basis of individual skills and attributes.
