Distributed compressive sensing of light field

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

The light field camera array can be regarded as distributed source. The image sequence captured by a camera array contains the inter-correlation and intra-correlation. In order to utilize the correlation, a joint sparsity model was established to combine the light field with distributed compressive sensing, and a recovery algorithm was proposed for the model -- simultaneous regularized orthogonal matching pursuit algorithm (SROMP), which uses the correlation to reconstruct the light field image sequences. Several light field images could be approximate at once using different linear combinations of elementary signals. Experimental results show that SROMP algorithm could be used to achieve high accuracy reported in the literatures.
Educational Model of Community Partnerships for Health Promotion

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

The efficacy of the community partnership model is well supported in the literature. The university system affords the appropriate infrastructure for successful educational partnerships within culturally diverse communities. This proposed model has global implications. By creating a new cadre of professional and paraprofessional family health care providers, it provides a viable process for resolving the current nursing shortage and simultaneously meeting the goals of Healthy People 2010. The sharing of academic expertise and resources empowers individual community members to improve the quality of health care decisions for themselves and their families while promoting the necessary leadership skills required to significantly affect policy changes. Evaluating this model through a formalized process will add to the existing body of literature documenting the value of specific interventions and ultimately facilitate policy changes for the new millennium.
LASER SCATTERING AND SURFACE MODEL IN FRUIT QUALITY RESEARCH

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

This work presents the use of the stereovision method for detecting the position of the scattered area in 3D and the laser incident angle detection. The scattered area depends not only on the internal fruit quality (healthy and not healthy biological tissue) but also on the laser incident angle on the fruit surface. This information is required for the recalculation of the scattered area perpendicular to the laser ray. It is a kind of the area normalization. Such normalized area can be used for further fruit health estimation. The work presents: the used materials and equipment, the method description, the mathematical background and the experimental results.
Mechanical Characterization of Anisotropic Planar Biological Soft Tissues Using Large Indentation: A Computational Feasibility Study

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Traditionally, the complex mechanical behavior of planar soft biological tissues is characterized by (multi)axial tensile testing. While uniaxial tests do not provide sufficient information for a full characterization of the material anisotropy, biaxial tensile tests are difficult to perform and tethering effects limit the analyses to a small central portion of the test sample. In both cases, determination of local mechanical properties is not trivial. Local mechanical characterization may be performed by indentation testing. Conventional indentation tests, however, often assume linear elastic and isotropic material properties, and therefore these tests are of limited use in characterizing the nonlinear, anisotropic material behavior typical for planar soft biological tissues. In this study, a spherical indentation experiment assuming large deformations is proposed. A finite element model of the aortic valve leaflet demonstrates that combining force and deformation gradient data, one single indentation test provides sufficient information to characterize the local material behavior. Parameter estimation is used to fit the computational model to simulated experimental data. The aortic valve leaflet is chosen as a typical example. However, the proposed method is expected to apply for the mechanical characterization of planar soft biological materials in general.
Con Café, Compañerismo, y Calidad: Latina Women Fashioning a Writing Group into a Space of Praxis and Belonging

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This article explores the spatial practices through which a group of Mexican immigrant women, participants in a school-based writing workshop I facilitated for four years, molded and gave meaning to our weekly writing routine to foster inclusivity as the basis for collective teaching and learning—creating what I refer to as a space of praxis and belonging. Integrating the insights of Latina feminist ethnography with dialectical and dialogical approaches to spatial production, I consider how workshop participants’ attention to the material, aesthetic, and affective dimensions of the workshop were central to the creation of a space for writing and discussing stories that respected writers’ differences, dignified their life experiences, and encouraged them to consider new ways of envisioning and enacting their lives.
Riskfactors of scabies in students of Aulia Cendikia Islamic BoardingSchool, Palembang

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Scabies is a skin disease caused by infestation and sensitization of Sarcoptes scabiei var. hominis. Scabies can infect everyone at all ages, races, genders and social economic levels. This disease is usually found in places such as dormitories, orphanages, prisons, islamic boarding schools that lack personal hygiene. Observational analytic research with cross sectional design has been carried out at boarding school Aulia Cendikia in Palembang from June to December 2017. There were 199 samples of students of Aulia Cendikia boarding school in Palembang city that met the inclusion criteria. In this study, there were no age differences between students with or without scabies (p = 0.374; p> 0.05). This study showed that the number of people per room was the factor that most contributed to the incidence of scabies (PR = 2.746, p = 0.002) followed by personal hygiene (PR = 2.333, p = 0.007) and gender (PR = 2.068, p = 0.019). Number of people in the room, personal hygiene and gender are risk factors for scabies at the Aulia Cendikiaislamic boarding school in Palembang.
Histamine and tyramine production by bacteria isolated from spoiled sardine (Sardina pilchardus)

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

Bacterial strains (32) from spoiled sardine were isolated and investigated for their ability to produce histamine and tyramine in histidine and tyrosine decarboxylase broth, respectively by a rapid highperformance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method. The predominant microflora of sardine consisted of the genera Enterobacteriaceae, Pseudomonas, Chryseobacterium, Vibrio, Photobacterium , and Stenotrophomonas . In histidine-enriched broth, the highest levels of histamine were observed in Proteus mirabilis (5201.95 mg/L), followed by Enterobacter cloacae (2333.99 mg/L), whilst the lowest histamine accumulation was found for Kluyvera spp. and Listeria monocytogenes at the level of 0.38 and 0.45 mg/L, respectively. However, Pseudomonas oryzihabitans, Chryseobacterium indologenus and Vibrio vulnificus showed the highest accumulation of tyramine in tyrosine decarboxylase broth with values of 1648.85, 774.20 and 187.96 mg/L, respectively. Serratia liquefaciens produced more than 1000 mg/L putrescine in both enrichment broths, although Serratia rulnidace did not have the ability to produce amines (except for dopamine, serotonin and agmatine) in tyrosine decarboxylase broth. The study results show that P. mirabilis and Enterobacter cloacae , which were dominantly found in spoiled sardine, were strong amine producers.

Gate Length Scaling in High fMAX Si/SiGe n-MODFET

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

The performances of strained channel Si/Si0.6Ge0.4 nMODFETs as a function of gatelength have been investigated experimentally at 300K . The direct-current, microwave and noise performances of devices with gatelengths ranging from 0.5 µm to 0.1 µm are presented. Maximum oscillation frequency fMAX of 158 GHz is obtained for a 0.1 X 100 µm with fT = 42 GHz and a minimum noise figure NFmin = 0.5 dB at 2.5 GHz showing the potential of SiGe technology. The dependence of small signal, and noise parameters on gatelength and biases has been analyzed to assess the impact of non stationary transport and of short channel effects on the device behavior.
Vascular distensibility and compliance in salt-sensitive and salt-resistant borderline hypertension

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The results of this study suggest that sodium-sensitive borderline hypertensives have reduced large artery compliance compared with age-matched sodium-resistant subjects. Since this finding could not be explained by differences in haemodynamic or hormonal factors between the groups, this suggests alterations to the viscoelastic properties of the arterial walls in sodium-sensitive subjects.
Trust behind bars: Measuring change in inmates’ prosocial preferences

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

The paper presents the results of a Longitudinal Lab-in-the-Field Experiment implemented between September 2015 and July 2016 performed in two State Prisons in California (USA) to measure change in prosocial preferences. A subset of eligible inmates willing to undertake GRIP (Guiding Rage Into Power) program, were randomly assigned to it. The paper tests whether the participation to this program (used as a treatment in the experiments) affects prosocial preferences of participants, with specific reference to trust. The results of a Difference-in-Differences (DID) estimation procedure show that trust significantly increased in GRIP participants compared to the control group. This result is robust to alternative estimation techniques and to the inclusion of an endogenous behavioral measure of altruism.
Diffusion and sustainability of information and communications technologies in community-based non-profit organisations: an exploratory study of Victoria and Tuscany

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Worldwide, governments and representatives of the community sector believe that the adoption of ICT by community-sector organisations is important because it contributes to the achievement of mission, strategic and business objectives, and benefits the communities those organisations serve. However, despite the fact that many organisations have developed innovative ICT applications, most experience problems in taking up ICT (Burt & Taylor 1999, Surman 2001, DCITA 2005b). This thesis explores the conditions for success and barriers to the take-up and effective use of information and communications technology (ICT), specifically websites and online services, by community-based non-profit organisations, using a study of seventeen organisations based in rural and regional Victoria in Australia, and Tuscany in Italy. In particular, it examines the structural barriers and the inter-organisational relationships that act to facilitate the take-up, or otherwise, of technology by community sector non-profit organisations. The study adopts a grounded theory approach, based on a two-stage data analysis: using the LIAISE framework for the take-up of ICT (Schauder et al. 2005), to identify the factors or conditions that contribute to the development of effective, sustainable websites; and social network analysis to explore the extent to which organisational networks enable the achievement of those conditions. The broad aims of this approach are to enable the evaluation of the existing LIAISE framework and to develop it as a more dynamic systems model capable of serving as a guide to policy and action. The study finds that although the LIAISE framework provides a good taxonomy of the factors important to the take-up of ICT by community-based non-profit organisations, it has weaknesses in that it does not explicitly identify user literacy as a factor, nor does it sufficiently emphasise the importance of an organisation’s external relationships, which provide an essential means of accessing required information and resources such as technical skills, and of enhancing core internal skills such as the ability to develop strategic plans. A new model is proposed to address these weaknesses: ALLIANCE (Applications; Literacy; user Literacy; Infrastructure; Access; Networks; Computing support; and Evaluation).
Analysis Of The Impact Of Financial Ratios On The Financial Performance Of Islamic Banking During The Pandemic Period

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

The objective of this research investigate the impact of five distinct financial elements, specifically BOPO, FDR, NPF, NPM, and ROE, regarding The monetary outcomes of Sharia-compliant banking institutions throughout the widespread health crisis caused by the coronavirus outbreak. The approach used involves quantitative analysis, Assembling data from the financial disclosures of Sharia-compliant banks that are active in Indonesia. The findings suggest that the BOPO variable has no substantial influence on the fiscal outcomes of Sharia-compliant banking institutions, contradicting previous research. These results indicate that although BOPO is often considered an important indicator of bank performance, its influence is not significantly felt in this context. Additionally, The FDR variable does not significantly influence financial performance, although it is expected to serve as an indicator of liquidity and financing efficiency. These results align with some prior studies that note that in certain contexts, FDR does not provide a significant impact. This research offers insights into the challenges faced by Islamic banks during the pandemic and emphasizes the importance of considering external factors in future research that may influence analysis outcomes.
Experience with breast cancer in Zimbabwe.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Eighty-four patients were treated for carcinoma of the breast at Mpilo Central Hospital, Bulawayo, between July 1987 and December 1990. The age at diagnosis appears to be bimodal with an early peak between 35 years and 40 years and a later peak between 60 years and 65 years. As expected, these patients were of high parity (median 5) and 96% of them breast fed for an average of 16 months. It would appear that late presentation with advanced systemic disease accounts for the dismal prognosis. Eighty-four per cent of the patients presented with late disease with only 16% presenting with early disease. Of the 25 patients who were followed to death the median survival was 12 weeks. For various logistic reasons long-term follow-up has not been possible for the rest of the patients. The expense involved in travelling long distances appears to be the main problem. To improve the outcome of breast cancer in our community we we need to embark on an active education campaign to increase public awareness of the significance of breast symptomatology. However, the incidence of carcinoma of the breast in this part of the world remains very low when compared with experience in Western countries.

MICROWAVE ENERGY CONVERSION

Field: Energy (Physical Sciences)

MICROWAVE ENERGY CONVERSION Rectification by Semiconductor Diodes* A relatively simple method has been devised for mounting 680-1N830 diodes in a series parallel combination to form a single phase full-wave rectifier for operation at microwave frequencies. The efficiencies attained at 2440 Mc are as follows; Efficiency of 70% for 9 watts output, 65% for 18.7 watts, 55$ for 30.7 watts and 50% for 34 watts output.' Conversion by Bulk Semiconductor. An analytical study of bulk semiconductor conversion of microwave is presented. However, the material used for the experimental part of the project is not satisfactory for use at microwave frequencies. The polarization loss in this material reduces the efficiency from 50% to .05%. Other materials may be more suitable. Direct Rectification by Hot Cathode, (a) Four different tube mounts were tested and their efficiencies obtained. These efficiencies vary with load resistors, the maximum values lying between 21% and 25% for all set-ups and for resistors between 2000 and 4000 ohms.
How can employment relations in global value networks be managed towards social responsibility?

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Ensuring social responsibility is a continued challenge in value creation processes that are globally dispersed among multiple organizations. We use the literature on interorganizational network management to shed new light on the question of how employment relations can be managed more responsibly in global value networks (GVNs). In contrast to the structure-oriented global value chain perspective, a network management perspective highlights the practices by which employment relations can be addressed in the context of plural forms of network governance. Using examples of GVNs in the automotive and garment industries, we illustrate how the network management practices of selecting, allocating, regulating and evaluating can enable lead firms and suppliers to effectively deal with social responsibility challenges on the level of whole networks. We also discuss how network management practices can handle field-level and firm-level constraints for the management of multi-employer relations in GVNs.
Örgün ve Yaygın Eğitimi Destekleme ve Yetiştirme Kurslarına Yönelik Öğretmen ve Öğrenci Görüşleri

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Constructivist education philosophy was adopted in 2005 with theeducation reform carried out in secondary education level in our country.However, standardized tests that measure student knowledge and learningare applied in university entrance exams. The fact that standardized testsrequire knowledge and speed contradicts the constructivist approach’smeasurement-evaluation approach that proposes process monitoring.Therefore, the education in secondary education institutions is notconsidered sufficient in preparation for university entrance exams. Thissituation greatly increased the importance of Formal and Non-FormalEducation Support and Training Courses (FNESTC). It is important tosee the results of the FNESTC, which was put into practice in 2014, todetermine the views of teachers and students about these courses, andto contribute to increase the efficiency of the courses. In this qualitativeresearch, case study design was preferred. The research group consistsof three teacher, four student. Data were collected by semi-structuredinterview forms prepared by the researchers. Content analysis were usedtogether to analyse the data. As a result of this research, it was seen thatFNESTC has diverse effects from the perspective of teachers and students.Teachers generally expressed their discomfort with the shortcomings inpractice. Teachers expect that all the stakeholders will discuss the issuesrelated to FNESTC, considering that education should be handled as awhole. The students are generally satisfied with the process and agree withtheir teachers that future improvements should be made.
ORAL ISOTRETINOIN IN THE TREATMENT OF LARGE BENIGN CONDYLOMA ACUMINATA OF ANOGENITAL AREA – A CASE REPORT

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Condyloma acuminata is a gross, exophytic cutaneous lesion most commonly occurring in the anogenital region. It is caused mostly by sexually transmitted human papilloma virus. Genital human papilloma virus infection is the most common sexual transmited disease worldwide and a leading cause of mortality among young women. Conventional topical therapy is generally ineffective, in large and extensive lesions, whereas a wide and sometimes mutilating surgical excision is necessary in many cases. We aim to present the case of a 26 year-old HIV-negative woman presenting with a four-month history of large benign Condyloma acuminata on the anogenital area, which has been treated successfully with oral isotretinoin without surgery. As a result, low dose oral isotretinoin monotherapy may represent an efficacious, safe, fairly well tolerated, noninvasive and cost effective alternative systemic therapy for anogenital Condyloma acuminata. Key words: condyloma acuminata, oral isotretinoin, large benign Condyloma acuminata. Cite this article : Cikim Ahu Ciler, Duysak Sibel, Terzi Erdinc.

Quantifying spatial basis risk for weather index insurance

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

Purpose - The purpose of this paper to develop an empirical methodology for managing spatial basis risk in weather index insurance by studying the fundamental causes for differences in weather risk between distributed locations. Design/methodology/approach - The paper systematically compares insurance payouts at nearby locations based on differences in geographical characteristics. The geographic characteristics include distance between stations and differences in altitude, latitude, and longitude. Findings - Geographic differences are poor predictors of payouts. The strongest predictor of payout at a given location is payout at nearby location. However, altitude has a persistent effect on heat risk and distance between stations increases payout discrepancies for precipitation risk. Practical implications - Given that payouts in a given area are highly correlated, it may be possible to insure multiple weather stations in a single contract as a “risk portfolio” for any one location. Originality/value - Spatial basis risk is a fundamental problem of index insurance and yet is still largely unexplored in the literature.
