Metacognition and Intersubjectivity: Reconsidering Their Relationship Following Advances From the Study of Persons With Psychosis
Venue: Frontiers in Psychology
Year: 2020

As research on metacognition has progressed a significant array of definitions, methodologies and therapeutic applications have emerged. Some of this work has primarily framed metacognition as an activity carried out by one person in order to know, monitor, and adjust their beliefs, memories, and behaviors. Accordingly, problems with metacognition have often been characterized as issues related to cognition. This, however, risks neglecting how metacognition is also a fundamentally intersubjective act, one in which human beings know and reflect upon themselves and others primarily with and through connections with other people. In this paper, we review research on metacognition in schizophrenia using the integrative model of metacognition and a research paradigm in which metacognition is assessed within personal narratives. Stimulated by this work, we discuss how disturbances in intersubjective experience and metacognitive capacity mutually influence one another, with disruptions in metacognition perhaps more deeply understood as disruptions in relatedness with others. We then discuss how metacognition and intersubjectivity each affect mental health. We finally focus on the implications of this for treatments that target metacognition as well as future directions for research.
Quantum Algorithm for K Nearest Neighbors Classification Based on the Metric of Hamming Distance
Year: 2017

K nearest neighbors (KNN) algorithm is a common algorithm used for classification, and also a sub routine in various complicated machine learning tasks. In this paper, we presented a quantum algorithm (QKNN) for implementing this algorithm based on the metric of Hamming distance. We put forward a quantum circuit for computing Hamming distance between testing sample and each feature vector in the training set. Taking advantage of this method, we realized a good analog for classical KNN algorithm by setting a distance threshold value t to select k nearest neighbors. As a result, QKNN achieves O(n3) performance which is only relevant to the dimension of feature vectors and high classification accuracy, outperforms Llyod's algorithm (Lloyd et al. 2013) and Wiebe's algorithm (Wiebe et al. 2014)
Considering biomodification and remineralization techniques as adjuncts to vital tooth bleaching regimens.
Venue: Compendium of continuing education in dentistry
Year: 2007

Although in office and dentist monitored vital night guard bleaching have proved successful for whitening teeth, in some cases involving stark white spots, additional efforts may be required. This clinical case demonstrates the use of a combination in office and take home whitening regimen, followed by the in office and home application of a paste containing casein phosphopeptide and amorphous calcium phosphate, both of which are believed to help replace lost minerals in teeth, make teeth stronger, and help protect them from decay and erosion. The patient's teeth successfully lightened from an initial shade of A2 to a uniform shade of B1. The white spots that were still visible after the bleaching process had disappeared into the tooth structure after the 3 week at home use of the remineralizing paste. However, at the 3 month recall appointment, some relapse in the appearance of the white spots was noted. Although more research is needed to assess the broader implications of the technique, the author concludes that this individualized result suggests that products with the potential to remineralize tooth structure might be useful adjuncts to traditional tooth bleaching processes to achieve a uniform appearance when white spots are present.
Distributed fusion estimation for multi sensor non uniform sampling systems with correlated noises and packet dropouts
Venue: 2017 36th Chinese Control Conference (CCC)
Year: 2017

In this paper, an optimal distributed fusion estimation algorithm is presented for multi sensor non uniform sampling systems with the correlated process noise and measurement noises at the same time and network induced packet dropouts. First, the non uniform sampling problem is first transformed to a single rate synchronous sampling problem. Then, local optimal filters and the filtering error cross covariance matrices between any two local filters are derived. Finally, the optimal distributed fusion filter is presented by using the matrix weighted fusion algorithm in the linear minimum variance sense. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed fusion approach.
Advancing web accessibility to be more dyslexia friendly
Year: 2018

Access to web content continues to be a challenge for the dyslexics or other visually impaired users. Many designers build websites without considering Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (Ferati, Vogel, Kurti, Raufi, and Astals, 2016) Hence, how can we improve the web accessibility for these users? The following pages explore this question through User Experience (UX) methodology and process with combination of graphic design principles. The areas of user testing included: How colours and shapes affect users' visual perception, attention and reading experience? How typefaces change users' reading experience? This paper also opens further discussion with possibilities of exploring the connection in playful experience, attention, and memory.

From the social demise of corporate executives to college students being suspended from school to individuals going from obscurity to online superstars, the power of branding is a significant career factor. Given its importance, the impact of personal branding on the employability of early career professionals is important to explore. This research investigates job seekers' personal branding and its effect on their employment prospects. The study examines the perspectives of both early career job seekers and employers.
Imprisoning Pregnant and Parenting Women: A Focus on Social Justice, Equal Rights, and Equality.
Venue: Health social work
Year: 2020

The mass incarceration of pregnant and parenting women is a serious problem in the United States. African American women and other women of color are most burdened by mass incarceration. This article outlines the problems with health care delivery in correctional facilities. It is argued that correctional facilities are not the place for pregnant and parenting women. A policy focus is needed that takes a public health approach. There are promising alternative policies that integrate a public health approach, improve treatment outcomes for women, and provide an alternative to incarceration. This problem is discussed through the lens of the Grand Challenges for Social Work. Alternative policies and programs are recommended that align with a public health approach and directly target the pathways for imprisonment. This issue requires a call for policy action to challenge the inequality and social justices inherent in this problem. The grand challenges offer a blueprint in which to develop effective policy approaches.
Prevalence and correlates of gender inequitable norms among young, church going women and men in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo
Venue: BMC Public Health
Year: 2018

BackgroundProlonged political instability may have exacerbated gender inequitable beliefs in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) The aim of this study was to assess attitudes related to gender equitable norms and its determinants among young, church going women and men in Kinshasa, DRC.MethodData were collected through a cross sectional survey with 291 church going women and 289 men aged 18 24 years old, residing in three disadvantaged communes of Kinshasa. Variables included sociodemographic characteristics, attitudes towards gender equality, and responses to issues related to the gender equitable men (GEM) scale. The GEM scale is a 24 item questionnaire developed to measure attitudes towards gender equitable norms. Logistic regression was applied to discover the associations between the independent variables and the GEM outcome.ResultsOur study reflected the existence of attitudes hampering gender equality that were endorsed by both women and men. For example, 91.4% of women and 83% of men agreed with the statement "a woman's most important role is to take care of her home and cook for her family" Similarly, 88.3% of women and 82.9% of men concurred with the idea that men need more sex than women. These findings coexisted with a few equitable norms, because 93.7% of women and 92.3% of men agreed that a man and a woman should decide together if they want to have children. A positive association was found in both women and men between being educated, being single and separated and having supportive attitudes towards gender equality and a higher GEM scale score. Residency in Camp Luka and Masina was also a significant social determinant associated with equitable gender norms among men whilst job status was only significant among women.ConclusionWhile both women and men had high levels of gender inequitable norms, those with more education, single, and with supportive attitudes to gender equality had high GEM scale scores. The results highlight an urgent need for the church to challenge and change gender norms among church youths.
Following the Money: Wealthy Women, Feminism, and the American Suffrage Movement
Year: 2015

The fortunes donated and estates left by wealthy women played a significant, yet controversial role in recharging the woman suffrage movement and passing the Nineteenth Amendment, a story historians have just recently begun to explore. "Following the money" traces priorities, tactics, and strategies of the movement through a focus on donors and donations and explores the resentment caused when a small number of wealthy individuals wielded the power to shape strategy and decisions. Their experience with the power of money (and its limitations) helped them understand that economic independence and political equality was crucial for all women, whether working class wage earners, educated professionals, or inheritors of large fortunes. Their donations funded new tactics and strategies, including headquarters in New York and Washington, DC, salaries for traveling organizers, and a publicity blitz, as well as Carrie Chapman Catt's "winning plan," ultimately making passage and ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment possible in 1920.
An investigation of failure modes and failure criteria of rock in complex stress states
Year: 2017

important in most rock engineering analyses that are based on solid mechanics. Better understanding of rock mass strength will facilitate proper engineering design of structures. The loading condition of rock is complex, and a rock failure criterion represents the strength of rock under different loading conditions. Many failure criteria have been proposed by researchers during the past decades. In rock engineering practice, the linear Mohr Coulomb (MC) criterion and the nonlinear Hoek Brown (HB) criterion are widely used in conditions where 2 3, largely due to their simplicity in formulation and the large amount of experimental data available (Melkoumian, Priest, and Hunt, 2009) despite the fact that the physical sense of the former is obscure and the latter is of a purely empirical character. Both the abovementioned criteria suffer limitations arising from ignoring the effect of the intermediate principal stress 2) on rock strength (Chang and Haimson, 2012; Haimson, 2006; Tiwari and Rao, 2004) Much of the experimental evidence accumulated so far strongly suggests that 2 has a considerable effect on rock strength (Chang and Haimson, 2012; Tanapol, Chaowarin, and Kittitep, 2013; Tarasov and Potvin, 2013) To incorporate the influence of 2, several general failure criteria have been proposed, among which the Drucker Prager criterion, the modified Lade criterion, the 3D Hoek Brown criterion, and the unified strength criterion are well known (Xie and Chen, 2004) However, these failure criteria are not commonly employed in practice. According to several comparative studies, none of the existing 3D failure criteria has a significant advantage over others, from both mathematical and practical points of view. A perceived shortcoming of the traditional failure criteria is that they are established only on the basis of macroscopic experiments and combined theoretical analysis, and they do not attempt to microscopically analyse the failure mechanism and failure criterion of rock under different loading conditions. In fact, the study of deformation and failure of rock on the micro meso scale can reveal the innate character and relationship between the macroscopic response, in the form of deformation or failure, and the intrinsic microscopic mechanism (Adelinet et al. 2013; Lin et al. 2015; Zhou and Linn, 2013; Zhou and Linn, 2014) An investigation of failure modes and failure criteria of rock in complex stress states
Description of a new species of Xylophis Beddome, 1878 (Serpentes: Pareidae: Xylophiinae) from the Western Ghats, India.
Venue: Zootaxa
Year: 2020

We reassessed the systematics of the Indian (semi)fossorial snake Xylophis perroteti (Dumeril, Bibron Dumeril, 1854) based on morphological and DNA sequence data for type, historical, and new specimens. A population from the Anamalai Hills is distinct from broadly topotypic X. perroteti from the Nilgiri Hills (from which they are separated geographically by the lowland Palghat Gap) on the basis of both external morphology and DNA sequence data. We describe the Anamalai form as a new species, Xylophis mosaicus sp. nov. The new species is more closely related to X. perroteti than to X. stenorhynchus and X. captaini. A new key to identify the species of Xylophis is presented.

Link Prediction for Opportunistic Network Based on the Attraction between Nodes
Venue: 2021 13th International Conference on Communication Software and Networks (ICCSN)
Year: 2021

Opportunistic network is a type of self organizing network that uses node movements to bring about encounter opportunities for communication, and characterized by sparse node connections and frequent network topology changes. The prediction of node link probability is the key to study the topological changes of opportunistic network. We propose a node attraction based link prediction method of opportunistic network (OLPA) which analyzes node properties and the connection relationship of node pairs to obtain the attraction between nodes, and introduces a time decay factor to weight the evolution sequence of attraction to obtain the probability of future connections between nodes. By comparing with LSTM, E LSTM D, GCN GAN link prediction models on multiple real opportunistic network data sets, the propose link prediction method we mentioned has good accuracy.

T116. CAFFEINE INDUCED PSYCHIATRIC MANIFESTATIONS
Venue: Schizophrenia Bulletin
Year: 2018

The association between caffeine consumption and various psychiatric manifestations has long been observed.  We present two cases that show the ability of caffeine to induce psychotic and manic symptoms, and we also review the extant literature on caffeine induced psychiatric manifestations.  On the basis of our own and others' findings, we suggest that caffeine may be related to not only de novo psychotic or mood symptoms but also to aggravation of pre existing psychotic or mood disorders.  We therefore suggest that caffeine consumption among patients with mood or psychotic symptoms should be assessed carefully in clinical practice as part of routine psychiatric evaluations.
Phase Space Reconstruction Based Multi Task Classification for Motor Imagery EEG
Venue: 2019 IEEE International Conference on Mechatronics and Automation (ICMA)
Year: 2019

Electroencephalogram (EEG) is a non stationary random signal. The commonly used feature extraction methods focus on analyzing the smoothness of EEG signals. This paper proposes a method for extracting motor imagery EEG features in phase space. The phase space reconstruction method in nonlinear time series is applying for reconstructing the EEG sequence into high dimensional phase space. While retaining the continuity of the original signal, many nonlinear dynamic characteristics in the EEG signal can also be found. This paper analyzes the motor imagery EEG from BCI competition database, reconstructs the original one dimensional EEG signal into high dimensional phase space by phase space reconstruction, and the "OVR OVO" common spatial pattern double layer filter is used to extract the phase space CSP feature (PSCSP) Finally, the classification result on the support vector machine is obtained by voting method. The final classification results show that the classification accuracy of the PSCSP introduced in this paper is 6.39% higher than that of the competition winner. According to the Kappa coefficient evaluation standard provided by the competition, the Kappa coefficient of this method is well performed. It is 9% higher than the first winner of the competition.
In situ polymerization of polyaniline on cotton fabrics with phytic acid as a novel efficient dopant for flame retardancy and conductivity switching
Year: 2020

A flame retardant conductive cotton fabric switch was successfully prepared by the in situ polymerization of polyaniline doped with novel phytic acid (PA) by impregnation in an ice water bath for 24 h. The surface morphology, chemical composition, and thermal properties of the fabric before and after the in situ polymerization of polyaniline with PA were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) X ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) scanning electron microscopy (SEM) thermogravimetric analysis (TG) and TG FTIR. The experimental results demonstrated that the limiting oxygen index (LOI) of the original fabric increased to 32% and the sheet resistance (Rs) decreased to 1.13 kO 1. Under the PA de doped state, the fabric had no flame retardant and conductivity properties. Nevertheless, the excellent flame retardant and conductivity properties of the fabric were obtained once more after re doping with PA, which indicated that the flame retardant and conductive textile switch was prepared successfully. Remarkably, the variation in the P content by XPS and the characteristic absorption peak of PA by FTIR made the doping behavior of PA on the surface of different fabrics clear. During the pyrolysis of the original and finished fabric, the maximum decomposition temperature (Tmax) and the maximum emission (Te) of light gas decreased from 380 degC to 290 degC, and the carbon residue content increased from 12.6% to 39.2% at 700 degC, which indicated that the in situ polymerization of aniline doped with PA resulted in the superior flame retardant property of the fabric. This work provides a green method and basis for the preparation of multi functional textiles, thus improving the added value of textiles.
