Development of an urban green space indicator and the public health rationale
Venue: Scandinavian journal of public health

In this study, the aim was to develop and test an urban green space indicator for public health, as proposed by the World Health Organisation (WHO) Regional Office for Europe, in order to support health and environmental policies.  We defined the indicator of green space accessibility as a proportion of an urban population living within a certain distance from a green space boundary. We developed a Geographic Information System (GIS) based method and tested it in three case studies in Malmo, Sweden; Kaunas, Lithuania; and Utrecht, The Netherlands. Land use data in GIS from the Urban Atlas were combined with population data. Various population data formats, maximum distances to green spaces, minimum sizes of green spaces, and different definitions of green spaces were studied or discussed.  Our results demonstrated that with increasing size of green space and decreased distance to green space, the indicator value decreased. As compared to Malmo and Utrecht, a relatively bigger proportion of the Kaunas population had access to large green spaces, at both shorter and longer distances. Our results also showed that applying the method of spatially aggregated population data was an acceptable alternative to using individual data.  Based on reviewing the literature and the case studies, a 300 m maximum linear distance to the boundary of urban green spaces of a minimum size of 1 hectare are recommended as the default options for the indicator. The indicator can serve as a proxy measure for assessing public accessibility to urban green spaces, to provide comparable data across Europe and stimulate policy actions that recognise the importance of green spaces for sustainable public health.
Occurrence of antidepressants from wastewater to drinking water

The article's subject is the presence of antidepressants in the wastewater and aquatic environment. The basic characteristics of selected antidepressants were presented. A review of the literature on the occurrence of these compounds in sewage influents and effluents, surface waters and sludge was made. As a general rule, drinking water should be free of any organic, especially pharmaceutical, contaminants. But according to data, the presence of antidepressants in source water for water purification plants poses a threat to their penetration to the water supply system and, eventually, to consumers of water intended for
Immobilization of heavy metal contaminated mine wastes using Canavalia ensiformis extract

This study examined the ability of crude extracts of Canavalia ensiformis to catalyze the precipitation of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) in columns packed with heavy metal contaminated mine waste collected from an abandoned mine site, and examined the effect of CaCO3 precipitates on the leaching of heavy metals out of such waste. X ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy were employed to confirm CaCO3 precipitation and to characterize the morphology of the resulting material. Urease in the C. ensiformis crude extracts catalyzed the hydrolysis of urea, leading to the formation of CaCO3 precipitates that formed bridges between the particles in the mine waste. In column experiments, the amounts of the heavy metals As, Mn, Zn, Pb, Cr, and Cu in leachates from the mine waste were reduced by 31.7% 65.7% 52.3% 53.8% 55.2% and 49.0% respectively, when the waste was treated with C. ensiformis crude extract. This reduction can be attributed to immobilization of heavy metals within the mine waste as a result of CaCO3 precipitation. Comparison of the microbial communities in mine waste columns that were untreated or incubated for 2 weeks with C. ensiformis crude extract and purified urease, using PCR DGGE of 16S rDNA, showed that a greater diversity of microorganisms was present in the columns treated with C. ensiformis crude extract and purified urease. These findings suggest that crude extracts of C. ensiformis may be used to stabilize and immobilize heavy metals in contaminated mine waste to prevent further dispersion to the surrounding environment.
The Exodus in the Bible's Teaching and Our Teaching of the Bible: Helping to Reconcile Faith and Critical Study of the Bible Through Threshold Concept Theory

For students coming from a religious background to Biblical Studies, it can sometimes be difficult to reconcile faith and critical study of the Hebrew Bible, struggling with the concepts of multiple voices within the text, and multiple methods of interpretation in scholarship. This article will explore the use of the Exodus event as a Threshold Concept in the Bible's teaching, and propose that it can be used as a helpful model for students encountering critical study of the Bible. It will be shown that the Exodus event has differing accounts and multiple interpretations throughout the Bible, and that these function according to the characteristics of a Threshold Concept, by being transformative, integrative, troublesome and affective [Meyer, Jan H. F. and Ray L. Land. 2006a. 'Threshold Concepts and Troublesome Knowledge: An Introduction' In Overcoming Barriers to Student Understanding: Threshold Concepts an Troublesome Knowledge, edited by Jan Meyer and Ray Land, 3 18.  Routledge] This analysis of a Threshold Concept within the Bible can be used as a model in the classroom for the transformative nature of story, providing a framework for contemporary interpretation of the Biblical texts.
Autonomous real time water quality sensing as an alternative to conventional monitoring to improve the detection of food, energy, and water indicators
Venue: Journal of Environmental Studies and Sciences

Advances in sensors and wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are enabling real time environmental monitoring, which has the potential to provide a plethora of fine grained data to assist in understanding the symbiosis between food, energy, and water (FEW) systems. This paper presents the advantages of autonomous real time water quality monitoring systems over conventional systems and proposes cost effective and feasible approaches to designing a system that autonomously collects environmental data by integrating digital and mechanical devices connected through various communication networks, both wired and wireless. More specifically, the autonomous sensing devices proposed include low cost water quality sensors implemented on commercial hardware and cell based biosensors using electric cell substrate impedance sensing (ECIS) which are capable of detecting water and/or air toxicants in real time.The paper discusses the key design considerations of the underlying WSN communication system supporting autonomous data transmission, including the spatial distribution of sensors, costs, and operation autonomy. Communication among connected devices (e.g. sensors) requires both precision timing and network security against attacks, as well as means to ensure the privacy and integrity of the data being collected and transmitted through the network. Preliminary results demonstrate the importance of precision timing and synchronization by using measured timing information and signal strength to identify man in the middle attacks in fixed wireless networks and to locate the attack source using machine learning approaches. Data modeling and recovery methods are presented to efficiently analyze and process sensing data to address the missing measurement issue caused by noise and device failure. The system proposed herein can serve as a valuable tool for real time monitoring of FEW resources and can be broadly applied to efficient management of their sustainability.
Towards the Electromechanical Design of an Autonomous Robotic Sailboat
Venue: 2016 XIII Latin American Robotics Symposium and IV Brazilian Robotics Symposium (LARS/SBR)

Due to numerous influencing factors such as climate change, water quality, population growth, and geopolitical disputes over territory, among others, the world never looked so closely to our oceans. With the recent development of unmanned craft, demands such as water and marine borders monitoring can now be met with relatively low cost. A problem yet be solved in this kind of mission is the supply of power for the robotic systems given the difficulty of continuous supplying hundreds of vessels in the ocean. Therefore, this work proposes techniques and tools for the development of an automated sailboat driven primarily by wind power combined with a power system that is capable of generating electricity through photovoltaic cells located on the deck of the boat and stored in a bank of nautical batteries. Both the electronics and the electromechanical parts present in the aquatic vehicle are autonomous and therefore do not require the boat to return to land for a systematically refueling.
Academic Paper Recommendation Based on Community Detection in Citation Collaboration Networks
Venue: APWeb

Academic search engine plays an important role for science research activities. One of the most important issues of academic search is paper recommendation, which intends to recommend the most valuable literature in a domain area to the users. In this paper, we show that exploring the relationship of collaboration between authors and the citation between publications can reveal implicit relevance between papers. By studying the community structure of the citation collaboration network, we propose two paper recommendation algorithms called Adaptive and Random Walk, which comprehensively consider several metrics such as textural similarity, author similarity, closeness, and influence for paper recommendation. We implement an academic paper recommendation system based on the dataset from Microsoft Academic Graph. Performance evaluation based on the assessments of 20 volunteers show that the proposed paper recommendation methods outperform the conventional search engine algorithm such as PageRank. The efficiency of the proposed algorithms are verified by evaluation.
Construction of the structural definition based terminology ontology system and semantic search evaluation
Venue: Libr. Hi Tech

The purpose of this paper is to construct a structural definition based terminology ontology system that defines the meanings of academic terms on the basis of properties and links terms with properties that are structured by conceptual categories (classes) This study also aims to test the possibility of semantic searches by generating inference rules and setting very complicated search scenarios.  Index" were structurally defined and relationships among terms and properties were built. Then, the authors converted the RDB data into RDF and designed ontologies using the ontology developing tool Protege. The authors also tested the designed ontology with the inference engine of the Protege editor. The generated reference rules were tested by TBox and SPARQL queries.  The authors generated inference control rules targeting high input ratio data in the properties of classes by calculating the input ratio of real input data in the system, and then the authors executed a semantic search by SPARQL query by setting very complicated search scenarios, for which it would be difficult to deduce results via a simple keyword search. As a result, it was confirmed that the search results show the logical combination of semantically related term data.  The proposed terminology ontology system was constructed with the author keywords from research papers, it will be useful in searching the research papers which include the keywords as search results by the complex combination of semantic relation. And the Structural Terminology Net database could be utilized as an index database in retrieval services and the mining of informal big data through the application of well defined semantic concepts to each term.  This paper presented a methodology for supporting IR using expanded queries based on a novel model of structural terminology based ontology. The user who wants to access the specific topic can create query that brings the semantically relevant information. The search results show the logical combination of semantically related term data, which would be difficult to deduce results via traditional IR systems.
Psychological maltreatment, emotional and behavioral problems in adolescents: The mediating role of resilience and self esteem.
Venue: Child abuse neglect

In this study, structural equation modeling was used to examine the mediating role of resilience and self esteem in the relationships between psychological maltreatment emotional problems and psychological maltreatment behavioral problems in adolescents. Participants were 937 adolescents from different high schools in Turkey. The sample included 502 female (53.6% and 435 male (46.4% students, 14 19 years old (mean age=16.51, SD=1.15) Results indicated that psychological maltreatment was negatively correlated with resilience and self esteem, and positively correlated with behavioral problems and emotional problems. Resilience and self esteem also predicted behavioral problems and emotional problems. Finally, psychological maltreatment predicted emotional and behavioral problems mediated by resilience and self esteem. Resilience and self esteem partially mediated the relationship between psychological maltreatment behavioral and psychological maltreatment emotional problems in adolescents. Thus, resilience and self esteem appear to play a protective role in emotional problems and behavioral problems in psychologically maltreated individuals. Implications are discussed and suggestions for psychological counselors and other mental health professionals are presented.
STUDYING GENDER AT THE LESSONS OF RUSSIAN LANGUAGE SYMBOLIC AND SEMANTIC APPROACHES

The article is devoted to the studying gender at the lessons of Russian language. This paper examines the symbolic meaning of the word and reveals the concept of the word semantics relatively to inanimate nouns. To reveal the matter of the problem the words concepts are used as an example. In the article the authors connect the essence of gender category with symbolic and semantic hypothesis of the ancient grammarians, according to which natural biological category "sexus" is correlated with grammatical category "genus" As a didactic material the authors present quotes from literary works, proverbs and sayings, which focus on the development of speech, enrichment of vocabulary and the formation of cultural competence of students. Having analyzed the structural and semantic principle of study of the category of gender in the Russian language by the example of culture lexemes, having studied the literature on research problem, having considered a learner as a linguistic personality, putting forward the lingvocultural approach to learning the Russian language as dominant, authors come to the conclusion, that the symbolic semantic principle helps multifaceted language training.
Natural interaction for online documentation in industrial maintenance
Venue: Int. J. Comput. Aided Eng. Technol.

This paper presents a novel application of natural interaction techniques for technical documentation navigation in augmented reality maintenance. The objective is to provide technical information where and when needed in order to reduce the time spent in retrieving procedural data from manuals. The system integrates a video and depth camera for user gesture acquisition, a webcam for marker based tracking and a see through head mounted display for digital information overlay. We designed a novel hand free gesture based interface to access technical documentation while performing maintenance tasks. We implemented a specific flexible system to prototype natural interfaces using UML configurable state machines. It supports 2D and 3D content navigation, CAD assembly explosion, real time 3D sectioning and operation browsing. We differentiate the interaction metaphors for 2D documents and 3D CAD models in order to be intuitive and easy to learn. A case study and a user test demonstrated the feasibility and the good acceptance of the presented gesture interface.
Social (Pragmatic) Communication Disorder and Its Relation to the Autism Spectrum: Dilemmas Arising From the DSM 5 Classification
Venue: Journal of autism and developmental disorders

DSM 5 introduced two diagnoses describing neurodevelopmental deficits in social communication (SC) Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Social (Pragmatic) Communication Disorder (SPCD) These diagnoses are differentiated by Repetitive and Restricted Behaviors (RRB) required for an ASD diagnosis and absent in SPCD. We highlight the gaps between the research into SPCD and DSM 5's diagnostic criteria, and discuss the clinical implications of this diagnostic decision. We argue that DSM 5's demand for full manifestation of both SC and RRB axes when diagnosing ASD, prematurely forced a categorical view on the continual nature of the potentially dependent SC and RRB phenotypes. We conclude by highlighting the implications of this differential diagnostic decision on public health policies, designated therapy, and the need for further research regarding SPCD.

A Review on Face Recognition Attendance System

In this paper, we advise a method that takes the presence of students for classroom lecture. Our method takes the presence automatically using face recognition. However, it is complicated to calculate approximately the attendance exactly using each result of face detection independently because the face recognition rate is not sufficiently high. In this paper, we propose a process for estimate the presence precisely using all the results of face recognition obtained by Continuous inspection. Continuous inspection improves the performance for the estimation of the presence we Constructed the lecture presence system based on face recognition, and applied the system to classroom lecture. Face recognition technology has widely concerned concentration due to its huge application value and market potential, such as face recognition and video observation system. Real time face detection not only is one part of the automatic face recognition system but also is increasing an independent research subject. So, there are lots of approaches to solve face detection. This paper describes the expansion of a student attendance system based on face recognition and authentication technology. MATLAB outline is used for implementation. The existing conventional presence system requires students to manually sign the sheet every time
GENERALIZED EXPLICIT RECIPROCITY LAWS

0.1. In this paper, we give generalizations of the explicit reciprocity law to p adically complete discrete valuation fields whose residue fields are not necessarily perfect. The main theorems are 4.3.1, 4.3.4, and 6.1.9. In subsequent papers, we will apply our generalized explicit reciprocity laws to p adic completions of the function fields of modular curves, whose residue fields are function fields in one variable over finite fields and hence imperfect, and will study the Iwasawa theory of modular forms. I outline in 0.3 what is done in this paper in the case of p adic completions of the function fields of modular curves, comparing it with the case of classical explicit reciprocity law outlined in 0.2. I then explain in 0.4 how the results of this paper will be applied in the Iwasawa theory of modular forms, for these applications are the motivations of this paper, comparing it with the role of the classical explicit reciprocity laws in the classical Iwasawa theory and in related known theories.
