Struggling with platforms: Marxist identities, cultural production, and everyday work in Brazil

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This article analyzes how Marxist platform-dependent cultural producers in Brazil - one woman and two drag queens - navigate platform spaces in relation to their identities and everyday work. Struggling with platforms refers to the specific ways in which Marxist cultural producers seek to engage in class struggles, while also grappling with the constraints imposed by platforms. There are paradoxes, tensions and frictions in these efforts. In analytical terms, the article develops how this ‘struggling with platforms’ occurs in two main dimensions: (1) struggling with identities – including the implications of being a Marxist cultural producer on platforms and how one's identity is shaped and commodified in this space, and (2) struggling with everyday work – considering how the pursuit of social change is both constrained and enabled on platforms.
Cognitive-behavioral intervention increases abstinence rates for depressive-history smokers.

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

This article describes the test of the hypothesis that a cognitive-behavioral mood management intervention would be effective for smokers with a history of major depressive disorder (MDD). The method was randomized trial; the assessments occurred at Weeks 0, 8, 12, 26, and 52. Ss were 149 smokers; 31% had a history of MDD. All received 2 mg of nicotine gum. Mood management was provided in 10 group sessions over 8 weeks. Standard treatment was provided in 5 group sessions over 8 weeks. Outcome was continuous abstinence. History-positive Ss were more likely to be abstinent when treated with mood management. Treatment condition differences were not significant for history-negative Ss. For history-positive Ss, less anger at baseline predicted abstinence. For history-negative Ss, more years smoked and higher baseline carbon monoxide (CO) predicted abstinence. Cognitive-behavioral therapy did not affect mood after quitting. Abstinence predictors differed as a function of baseline diagnosis.

[Nonlinear partial least squares method for simultaneous derivative spectrophotometric determination of two components in compound sulfamethoxazole].

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

A nonlinear model of consistency with derivative absorption in multiple components systems has been given. Model data were estimated by partial least squares method. A method for the simultaneous derivative spectrophotometric determination of two components with nonlinear partial least squares method was established. The method has been applied to the simultaneous determination of two components in compound sulfamethoxazole tablets. The average recoveries of sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim in synthetic samples were 99.8% and 100.1%, and relative standard deviations were 1.3% and 1.6%, respectively. The results by nonlinear PLS method are significantly better than those by linear PLS method. The results for actual compound formulation agreed with those obtained by standard method.
Lorentz boosts of bispinor Bell-like states

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Abstract We describe in this paper the effects of Lorentz boost on the quantum entanglement encoded in two-particle Dirac bispinor Bell-like states. Each particle composing the system described in this formalism has three degrees of freedom: spin, chirality, and momentum, and the joint state can be interpreted as a 6 qubit state. Given the transformation law of bispinor under boosts, we compute the change of the Meyer-Wallach global measure of quantum entanglement due to the frame transformation and study its equivalence to the results obtained for the relativistic spin 1/2 Bell-like states, constructed in the framework of the irreducible representations of the Lorentz group. We verify that the monotonic increase of the global entanglement under boosts for ultra-relativistic states is solely due to an increasing of the entanglement associated with the spins subsystems. For such ultra-relativistic states, the entanglement related to the chirality degrees of freedom is invariant, and the variation of the global entanglement of bispinor states is the same as the one calculated for relativistic spin 1/2 states. We also show that the particle-particle entanglement is invariant under boosts for any Bell-like state.
Study of the use of gamification elements in e-learning applications

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

The absence of human interaction in e-learning platforms leads to rapid loss of motivation of learners. As an effective way to motivate them in online learning applications, e-learning designers opt for the use of gamification elements in their applications. This study aims to compare five gamification e-learning applications by an existing Gamification taxonomy in order to propose a modification to improve it. The five applications we used are Duolingo, Socrative, Kahoot, Khan Academy and Classcraft. The objective is to compare the use of each element in these applications to know its usefulness and to propose a new gamification elements model.
Chinese folk music and its effect on human mathematical thinking skills

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

This work aimed to study the short- and long-term effects of listening to Chinese folk music on mathematical thinking skills. The central research methodology was based on an independent assessment of respondents’ success in mathematics with reference to the amount of overall time spent listening to Chinese folk music. The results obtained for the experimental group reported a positive correlation between individuals’ mathematical skills and Chinese folk music listening duration, while the control group outcomes turned out to be practically time-independent. The s 2 vale for the Student's t-test, used for the hypothesis testing, for each of the intervals of the mathematical tests ranges from 0.015 to 0.06 for the experimental group and from 0.01 to 0.19 for the control group. An alternative hypothesis about a direct correlation between passive listening to Chinese traditional music and mathematical thinking skills was confirmed using the independent two-sample Student's t-test.
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN JOB STRESS AND SELF-CARE ON MIDDLE-AGED AND OLDER ADULT EMPLOYEE WELL-BEING

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Abstract Given that workplace stress and burnout are related to numerous adverse well-being outcomes, identifying strategies to decrease workplace stress or mitigate its effects is vital. Self-care may be a resource to protect against the negative impact of job stress on employees’ health and well-being, but self-care research is limited in non-healthcare fields. Additionally, as the number of older adults in the workforce rises, there is an increasing need to understand and enhance older adult employees’ well-being. The purpose of this study was to assess whether members of the middle-age and older adult workforce are able to engage in as much self-care as they need, and to determine whether the ability to engage in enough self-care attenuates the relationship between job stress and well-being outcomes. A total of 2,112 full-time employees, ages 43 to 77, were recruited via an online research panel (mean age = 54.0 years, 59.0% male, 64.2% White). Participants completed a survey that assessed job stress, ability to engage in self-care, and well-being (i.e. life satisfaction, job satisfaction, mental and physical health). Multiple regression analyses indicated that engaging in enough self-care attenuated the negative relationship between job stress and satisfaction with one’s life and job, but not health. These results provide evidence that self-care may be effective in protecting against the negative impact of workplace stress in the middle-age to older adult workforce. Further research is needed to examine the effectiveness of formal workplace self-care interventions, as formal interventions may supplement employees’ personal levels of self-care.
Inflammatory Biomarker Reduction With Fostemsavir Over 96 Weeks in Heavily Treatment-Experienced Adults With Multidrug-Resistant HIV-1 in the BRIGHTE Study

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Background Fostemsavir, a first-in-class attachment inhibitor that binds to the viral envelope protein gp120, is approved for heavily treatment-experienced persons with HIV-1 with limited treatment options. We explored changes in immunologic and coagulopathy parameters in the BRIGHTE study: a phase 3 trial that evaluated fostemsavir plus optimized background therapy in heavily treatment-experienced adults with multidrug-resistant HIV-1. Methods CD4+ T-cell count, CD4+/CD8+ ratio, soluble CD14, soluble CD163, and D-dimer levels were measured through 96 weeks in participants with 1 or 2 fully active antiretroviral agents available at screening. No formal statistical analyses were performed. Results Among 272 participants, increases were observed from baseline to week 96 in CD4+ T-cell count (mean increase, +205 cells/mm3) and CD4+/CD8+ ratio (mean increase, +0.24). The proportion of observed participants with a CD4+/CD8+ ratio ≥0.45 increased from 9% (25/272) at baseline to 40% (85/213) at week 96. From baseline to week 96, we also observed trends toward decreases in the following (mean [SD] change): soluble CD14, −738.2 (981.8) µg/L; soluble CD163, −138.0 (193.4) µg/L; and D-dimer, −0.099 (0.521) mg/L fibrinogen-equivalent units. Decreases in biomarkers were generally observed among subgroups by baseline disease characteristics, virologic response, and CD4+ T-cell count. Conclusions These data suggest that heavily treatment-experienced persons with multidrug-resistant HIV-1 treated with fostemsavir + optimized background therapy may have improvements in immune parameters, including markers of monocyte activation and coagulopathy.

A seminar course in object oriented programming

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

The emerging technology of object oriented programming is just beginning to be introduced into the computer science curriculum. In most schools, it will be introduced first at the more advanced levels, prior to inclusion in introductory courses, even though the object oriented paradigm may be more suitable for teaching basic computer science concepts. This paper contains the experiences gained teaching a seminar on object oriented programming to a small group of mixed graduate and undergraduate students at a school with no doctoral program. The successes and difficulties faced by both students and instructor are explored.

Robust control of nonlinear time-varying mismatched uncertain systems

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

This thesis is concerned with the problem of robust control (robust output tracking and robust stabilization)for multi-input multi-output (MIMO)nonlinear systems with time-varying mismatched uncertainties. State feedback linearization of in-put/output (I/O)map will be assumed for the nominal system and the control design combines differential geometric feedback linearization with the determin-istic approach, in which no statistical property of the uncertainties is assumed. With the knowledge of the bounds of the uncertainties, we first generalize the Stable Combined Variable Perturbation Method which was first proposed by Li et al. [20-23] for SISO nonlinear systems to handle the MIMO case and obtain three new robust tracking controllers. Each of them reduces the effects of arbitrarily-large bounded mismatched uncertainties step by step to achieve robust output tracking. However, knowledge of the uncertainty bounds are not always available, and the conservative estimation of the bound may cause unnecessary large control effort. Therefore, an adaptive robust tracking controller is also derived which does not require the knowledge of the bounds of the uncertainties. The adaptive robust controller is therefore more feasible and practical and can be used to replace the previous non-adaptive ones.
Research on participation behavior of users in internet-based innovation community: An empirical investigation

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Internet-based users innovation community can be defined as mediated social spaces in digital environment that allow groups to form and be sustained primarily through ongoing communication processes. The members of innovation communities are usually lead users of specific kind of products, they put up web sites or participate in the existent one hosted by manufacturers or the third part for the purpose of benefiting from group innovation actions. The members have common interest on product innovations and sharing innovative ideas with each other, even build up online or offline personal relationships. Focusing on the internet-based user innovation community, this paper put forward a theoretical based on the the self-concept-based motivation model to explain the customer's participation behavior in the user innovation community. Using the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) method, data analysis showed that all of the research hypotheses were supported. Based on our analysis, we can find out that users will participate in the internet-based innovation community when they perceive this as a channel to gain happiness, demonstrate their ability level, and attain the feeling of belonging to.
SH1851643.08FU

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

UNITE provides a unified way for delimiting, identifying, communicating, and working with DNA-based Species Hypotheses (SH). All fungal ITS sequences in the international nucleotide sequence databases are clustered to approximately the species level by applying a set of dynamic distance values (<0.5 - 3.0%). All species hypotheses are given a unique, stable name in the form of a DOI, and their taxonomic and ecological annotations are verified through distributed, web-based third-party annotation efforts. SHs are connected to a taxon name and its classification as far as possible (phylum, class, order, etc.) by taking into account identifications for all sequences in the SH. An automatically or manually designated sequence is chosen to represent each such SH. These sequences are released (https://unite.ut.ee/repository.php) for use by the scientific community in, for example, local sequence similarity searches and next-generation sequencing analysis pipelines. The system and the data are updated automatically as the number of public fungal ITS sequences grows.

Rethinking genre studies through distribution analysis: issues in international horror movie circuits

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The existence of any film genre depends on the effective operation of distribution networks. Contingencies of distribution play an important role in determining the content of individual texts and the characteristics of film genres; they enable new genres to emerge at the same time as they impose limits on generic change. This article sets out an alternative way of doing genre studies, based on an analysis of distributive circuits rather than film texts or generic categories. Our objective is to provide a conceptual framework that can account for the multiple ways in which distribution networks leave their traces on film texts and audience expectations, with specific reference to international horror networks, and to offer some preliminary suggestions as to how distribution analysis can be integrated into existing genre studies methodologies.
Parametric Optimization for Selective Surface Modification in EDM Using Taguchi Analysis

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

This paper introduces selective modification of surface by electric discharge machining process and its parametric optimization. A hard layer of tungsten and copper mixture is created at selected area of aluminum surface. The process is done using W–Cu powder metallurgical green compact tool and masking technique in die-sinking electric discharge machining (EDM). The modified surface is evaluated by the performance measures such as tool wear rate, material transfer rate, surface roughness, and edge deviation from the pre-defined boundary line of deposited layer by analysis of variance using Taguchi design of experiment. Minimum surface roughness of 4.5 µm and minimum edge deviation of 37.29 µm is achieved. The hardness of the surface layer is increased more than three times of base metal. Overall effects of parameters are also analyzed considering multiple performance criteria using overall evaluation criteria. The modified surface is characterized using scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy analysis, which show the tool material transfer at the selected area of the surface.
Residential Parking Supply Has a Stronger Influence on Household Travel Choices Relative to a Neighborhood’s Walkability and Access to Transit

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Author(s): Millard-Ball, Adam, PhD; West, Jeremy, PhD | Abstract: A large volume of research suggests that neighborhood attributes such as public transportation access, residential density, and walkability can have important impacts on people’s travel, carbon footprint, and employment opportunities. More often than not, however, the research conducted on this topic is subject to “self-selection bias.” For example, people who prefer to walk and ride transit are likely to move to neighborhoods that support these choices,while those who prefer to drive instead move to places with nearby highway access and ample parking.To overcome these biases, a research team at the University of California, Santa Cruz surveyed successful applicants to San Francisco’s affordable housing lotteries about their transportation choices and employment. In San Francisco, nearly all new housing developments with ten or more residential units must provide affordable housing units at below-market rates. The units are normally allocated to qualifying households through city-run lotteries. Thechances of winning a lottery are small — less than two percent — and so, not surprisingly, households are notselective about which lotteries they enter. Analysis of lottery application data shows that applicants do not appear toenter any particular lottery based on where they would endup living, or if the residence has ample parking, or based onthe neighborhood’s walkability or transit accessibility.
Collecting feedback as a tool to reduce care paralysis: something for family group conferencing coordinators?

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Abstract Family group conferencing (FGC) coordinators in public mental healthcare are confronted with clients who have little faith in professionals and organizations, who hold off decisions in their family life, who avoid care and who sometimes behave in a hostile manner. A lack of initiative to deal with their situation is not only reserved for clients – all bystanders, including professionals, can suffer from it. The multiplicity and severity of the client's problems lead to a situation wherein everyone involved waits for the initiative of the other. The independence of the FGC coordinator – a fellow citizen, who is free of organizational loyalties and comes to assist other citizens in establishing a plan – seems to work well with the client group of the public mental healthcare. However, the coordinator cannot always prevent deferral or failure of conferences. Drawing on empirical and theoretical findings, this paper considers the possibility of collecting feedback as a way to contribute positively to the alliance between FGC coordinators and those for whom a conference is deployed. We highlight findings from three case studies that centred on multiproblem families. The findings indicate the importance of feedback theory for FGC coordinators in enhancing trust and engagement.
