Barriers to Participation in a Community Based Program to Control Transmission of Taenia solium in Peru.
Venue: The American journal of tropical medicine and hygiene
Year: 2018

Infection of the brain with Taenia solium larvae (neurocysticercosis) is a leading cause of preventable epilepsy worldwide. Effective and sustainable strategies to control parasite transmission in rural endemic communities are needed to prevent the disease. Surveillance and targeted intervention around infected pigs (ring control strategy) have been shown to be effective when carried out by research teams. However, this strategy has not been implemented or tested as a community based program. In this small trial in northern Peru, eight villages were randomly assigned to community led surveillance and treatment (five villages, 997 residents) or control (three villages, 1,192 residents) In intervention villages, community led surveillance and reporting were promoted by community health workers, radio advertisement, and school and household education. Each suspected pig infection was verified, with confirmed cases resulting in treatment with niclosamide for taeniasis and oxfendazole for pigs in clusters of homes nearby. No incentives beyond human and pig treatment were offered. Control villages received basic disease education but no treatment intervention in response to reports. Despite 14 case reports, community based replication of ring control strategy did not replicate prior results. After 12 months, there was no change in seroincidence in intervention villages between the baseline and study end, and no difference compared with control villages. There was no difference in prevalence of taeniasis or porcine cysticercosis at study end. Community members described lack of knowledge as the main reason for not reporting infected pigs. Further exploration of methods to transfer ring strategy and other control interventions for cysticercosis to the community is needed.
IoT anomaly detection method in intelligent manufacturing industry based on trusted evaluation
Venue: The International Journal of Advanced Manufacturing Technology
Year: 2019

With the development of industrial Internet of Things technology, the relatively closed industrial control system has become more complex and open, and it is facing increasingly serious information security problems. Aiming at the security problems existing in the current intelligent manufacturing industrial Internet of Things, this paper proposes a credible overall architecture of the IoT industrial control system. By adding a trusted function module, the credibility level is evaluated and abnormal operations are monitored. The sensing environment for the Internet of Things is more complicated. This paper proposes a cluster based routing method. While ensuring the trustworthiness and security of data routing, the routing protocol is maintained efficiently and reliably. A scenario of node cooperation is proposed for scenarios of a large number of malicious nodes. Abnormal attacks are suppressed by maintaining dynamic Bayesian balance between the attacker and the detection node. The simulation results show that the mechanism cooperation game can significantly improve the event detection success rate of abnormal detection nodes and greatly reduce the number of forged reports.
Digital Diabetes Data and Artificial Intelligence: A Time for Humility Not Hubris
Venue: Journal of diabetes science and technology
Year: 2019

In the future artificial intelligence (AI) will have the potential to improve outcomes diabetes care. With the creation of new sensors for physiological monitoring sensors and the introduction of smart insulin pens, novel data relationships based on personal phenotypic and genotypic information will lead to selections of tailored, effective therapies that will transform health care. However, decision making processes based exclusively on quantitative metrics that ignore qualitative factors could create a quantitative fallacy. Difficult to quantify inputs into AI based therapeutic decision making processes include empathy, compassion, experience, and unconscious bias. Failure to consider these "softer" variables could lead to important errors. In other words, that which is not quantified about human health and behavior is still part of the calculus for determining therapeutic interventions.
CREATING A POPULIST POLITICAL FIGURE: AN INDONESIAN CASE
Year: 2020

This paper, in comparison with a Western/European approach, aims to briefly explain the role of the media as a tool for creating and rising a political image in Indonesia. In the presidential election of 2014, Indonesia had two candidates. One of them named Mr. Joko Widodo also known as Jokowi. During his campaigns, he offered policies that try to respond to civil demands while his physical appearance also claimed to be a cool one by his supporters. Detik.com, as one of the electronic mediums, uses this circumstance to generate the news about Jokowi's personality positively for him to gain public sympathy. Methodologically this study uses discourse analysis and documentation as the data collecting technique. The main research platform here is detik.com, an online news site allegedly pro Jakowi. We have here taken 50 news items as the analysis unit on the period time started from 5 June to 4 July 2014. The results of this study indicate that detik.com as an Indonesian media course tries to support and represent Jokowi's political image as a populist and ideal figure who could symbolize the public interest in the Republic of Indonesia.
Self Evaluation of Thai Adult Learners in English Writing Practice
Year: 2018

This research primarily aims to investigate how the Thai adult learners self evaluate their English writing performance in relation to the teacher 's evaluation and what the students and the teacher experience from the evaluation practice The participants were 32 Thai graduate students and a Thai English language teacher of an EFL (English as a foreign language) writing course. The data were collected through student's self evaluation and teacher's evaluation forms, writing tasks, and individual interviews. The qualitative data were considered together with the quantitative data in order to gain the whole picture of the issue under investigation. The findings revealed that the adult learners (or students) were able to self evaluate their writing performance. The goals set out in the course syllabus, concerning the students participation in writing process and evaluating their writing, were practical and the students were well aware of what their performance levels were. Having access to students' self evaluations also gave the teacher more useful information for judging their learning achievement. This research highlights the importance of students' self evaluation as a real and valid source of information for developing teaching EFL writing, and promoting the students to be autonomous and lifelong learners. Implications are drawn regarding the independent learning goals and recommendations for future research.  students' self evaluation; teacher's evaluation; adult learners; EFL writing; autonomous and lifelong learners
Semantic browsing: a new way to explore and discover heritage treasures
Venue: EVA
Year: 2011

Museums and galleries have in recent years spent considerable time and effort in digitisation projects, yet the software resources available to fully explore their collections are still largely unsatisfactory. In a joint project between the new media company Deep Visuals, the Scott Polar Research Institute, and Anglia Ruskin University we are developing a new browsing system aimed at enabling museum visitors to experience more fully the museum's digital assets beyond the exhibited artefacts.
Fully 3D Printed Mechanical Pressure Sensors: A Comparison of Sensing Mechanisms
Venue: 2020 IEEE Sensors
Year: 2020

Recent advances in 3D printing techniques are allowing for new ways to manufacture sensors with materials and geometries previously not exploited. In this work we present a fabrication approach for fully 3D printed soft mechanical pressure sensors, as well as their characterisation. These sensors were created out of soft materials only using the Direct Ink Writing (DIW) printing technique. The applicability of both piezoresistive and capacitive transducing mechanisms were evaluated for the sensing of normal pressures. The produced sensors were tested by means of automated mechanical tests and compared based on their performance. In this way, we determined and analysed both their static and dynamic behaviours.
THE FALL OF OTTOMAN EMPIRE AND THE RISE OF KEMALIST REVOLUTION
Year: 2010

Many fresh republican states were established at the end of the First World War. One of these is the Turkish Republic. At the core of Turkish Republic lies the Turkish Revolution. Right before the revolution Mustafa Kemal was just one of the 300 Ottoman generals.The First World War was the most influential element that helped Mustafa Kemal's name to heard. Defeated Ottoman Empire was waiting for its end in Paris while native Ottoman Greeks and Armenians no longer pledged loyalty to Ottoman Empire. There were various political projects around. The Government decided to appoint Mustafa Kemal as Third Army Inspector. By allocating crucial duties to Mustafa Kemal the Government actually created its own anti thesis. What made it possible for Mustafa Kemal to achieve this was that he joined all the commanders in Anatolia to his political position. Mustafa Kemal practiced his subsequent political activities on the basis of Turkish Grand National Assembly. He was under double repression: The victory he had promised to his nation and frustrating trips of opponents. Even in the Assembly there were serious signs showing pro enemy groups. At the end of a series of battles, Mustafa Kemal attained a final victory in the face of Greek army. After that Turkey was invited to peace talks on October 27, 1922. During the Lausanne Conference, Straits, Patriarchate, Mosul, Exchange, war compensation issues were all handled and somehow solved. Kemal gave the first indication of his intention to change political movement to People's Party. Disregarding the assaults of opponents, he took heeds of political project in his mind. Kemalists actualized a bourgeois democratic revolution under the leadership of petty bourgeoisie intellectuals. Turkish Revolution is one of the successors of Enlightenment Age ideology. Kemalist leadership applied successfully great French Revolution's ideals, about after a two century delay, to homeland.
Natural Concurrent Infection of Vibrio harveyi and V. alginolyticus in Cultured Hybrid Groupers in Malaysia.
Venue: Journal of aquatic animal health
Year: 2019

In September 2016, a marine fish farm operator in Selangor, Malaysia, reported a disease outbreak affecting juvenile hybrid groupers (Camouflage Grouper Epinephelus polyphekadion x Tiger Grouper E. fuscoguttatus) The average daily mortality was 120 fish, resulting in a cumulative mortality rate of 29% within 10 d. The affected hybrid groupers displayed lethargy, excessive mucus production, rotten fins, congestion of livers and kidneys, and enlargement of spleens. Microscopically, general congestion of the brains and internal organs was evident. Vibrio harveyi and V. alginolyticus were successfully isolated from the diseased fish. The isolated pathogens were found to be sensitive to oxytetracycline and tetracycline, but resistant towards ampicillin and vancomycin. Experimental infections using the isolated V. harveyi (108 CFU/mL) V. alginolyticus (108 CFU/mL) and concurrent infection by V. harveyi (108 CFU/mL) and V. alginolyticus (108 CFU/mL) in juvenile Asian Seabass Lates calcarifer resulted in 60, 100, and 100% mortality, respectively, within 240 h postinfection. The experimentally infected Asian Seabass demonstrated similar clinical signs and histopathological changes as the naturally infected hybrid groupers. However, concurrently infected fish demonstrated severe clinical signs and histopathological changes compared with single infections. These results suggest that both isolates of Vibrio are pathogenic to fish and responsible for the disease outbreak. However, concurrent infection involving V. alginolyticus and V. harveyi leads to a more devastating impact to the cultured fish. This is the first report of concurrent Vibrio infection in cultured marine fish in Malaysia.
Honour, purity and transgression: understanding blasphemy accusations and consequent violent action in Punjab, Pakistan
Year: 2018

Since the incorporation of anti blasphemy laws protecting the religious sentiments of the Muslim majority in the Pakistan Penal Code in the 1980s, Pakistan has seen several cases of extra judicial killings, mob violence and vigilante action against the accused. Based on my fieldwork in Punjab, Pakistan, this paper deals with the meanings associated with blasphemy, and violent action that follows the accusations. Focusing on everyday interactions at a local level, I argue that certain understandings of the notions of honour, shame, purity, and transgression provide meaning as to what constitutes blasphemy and what are desirable courses of action to be taken in response to perceived blasphemy. I further demonstrate how public religious discourse is utilized to mobilize people, by actively legitimizing violence in the name of love, and framing as the hero a true Muslim one who can kill for the sake of love and hence is capable of preventing shame by defending the Prophet's honour.

Venue: JURNAL AGROINDUSTRI HALAL
Year: 2019

The purpose of this study was to determine the optimal ratio of carbonated aloe vera drink and lemon juice. This research used completely randomized design with four treatments and four replications. The treatments performed were L1 (90% carbonated aloe vera and 10% lemon juice) L2 (80% carbonated aloe vera and 20% lemon juice) L3 (70% carbonated aloe vera and 30% lemon juice) and L4 (60% carbonated aloe vera and 40% lemon juice) Data were statistically analyzed by using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and followed by duncan new multiple range test (DNMRT) at level 5% The combination treatments of carbonated aloe vera drinks and lemon juice had a significant effect on acidity (pH) vitamin C, total dissolved solids, and descriptive and hedonic sensory assessment. The best treatment from the research was L3 (70% carbonated aloe vera and 30% lemon juice) with pH of 4.26, vitamin C of 19.97 mg, and total dissolved solids of 14.34degbrix. The overall sensory test result preferred by panelists with descriptions of yellow color, lemon flavor, and had a slightly sweet taste.
A Proposed Solution for the Chicken Egg Dilemma in Pricing Currency Options
Year: 2012

The implied volatility (IV) estimation process suffers from an obvious chicken egg dilemma: obtaining an unbiased IV requires the options to be priced correctly and calculating an accurate option price requires an unbiased IV. We address this critical issue in two steps. First, the Granger causality test is employed, which confirms the chicken and egg problem in the IV computing process. Secondly, the concept of "moneyness volatility (MV)" is introduced as an alternative to IV. MV is modeled based on an option's moneyness during the life of the option's contract. The F test, Granger Newbold test and Diebold Mariano test results consistently show that MV outperforms IV in estimating the exchange rate volatility for pricing options. Further, these series of tests across six major currency options substantiate the validity as well as the reliability of the results. We posit that MV offers a unique solution for pricing currency options accurately.
Which patients with cancer die at home? A study of six European countries using death certificate data.
Venue: Journal of clinical oncology official journal of the American Society of Clinical Oncology
Year: 2010

This study examines the proportion of cancer deaths occurring at home in six European countries in relation to illness and to demographic and health care factors.  Death certificate data of all cancer related deaths in 2002 in Italy and 2003 in Belgium, the Netherlands, Norway, England, and Wales (N 238,216) were linked with regional health care and area statistics. Multivariate binomial logistic regressions were performed to examine factors associated with dying at home.  The percentage of all cancer deaths occurring at home was 12.8 in Norway, 22.1 in England, 22.7 in Wales, 27.9 in Belgium, 35.8 in Italy, and 45.4 in the Netherlands. Having solid cancers and being married increased the chances of dying at home in all countries. Being older and being a woman decreased the chances of dying at home, except in Italy where the opposite was the case. A higher educational attainment was associated with better chances of dying at home in Belgium, Italy, and Norway (countries where information on educational attainment was available) Better chances of dying at home were also associated with living in less urbanized areas in all countries but England. The number of hospital and care home beds seemed not to be universally strong predictors of dying at home.  There are large country differences in the proportion of patients with cancer dying at home, and these seem influenced by country specific cultural, social, and health care factors. Alongside cross national differences, country specific aspects need to be considered in the development of policy strategies facilitating home death.
Driving behavior oriented trajectory planning for autonomous vehicle driving on urban structural road
Year: 2020

A novel driving behavior oriented method is proposed in this paper for improving trajectory planning performance of autonomous vehicle driving on urban structural road. Differ from the irregularity and unpredictability of escaping a maze or travelling on off road, the driving on road emphasizes more on the compliance of road traffic rules and the satisfaction of passenger comfort rather than purely pursuing the shortest route or the shortest time. Therefore, the driving behavior oriented framework is employed in trajectory planning, which divides trajectory into lane change, turn and U turn, according to the basic traffic rules and the daily behaviors of drivers. The presented approach mainly includes basic path planning, fast bias RRT path planning and velocity planning. The basic path planning consists of lane change, turn and U turn behaviors, which generates smooth path with continuous curvature. In order to ensure the completeness of the programming algorithm, a fast bias RRT (FB RRT) algorithm is embedded. As guiding by the driving behavior, normal random, goal bias and Gaussian sampling strategies are fused to form FB RRT, which could make the best use of the basic path planning and reduce the randomness of node's extension to save the computation time. After collision free path generating, cubic polynomial curve is employed to schedule velocity profile for coping with vehicle stability requirements, actuator constraints and comfort conditions. The planner has been tested in simulation and a real vehicle in various typical scenarios. Test results illustrate that the presented method could generate a trajectory with controllable extrema of curvature as well as with continuous and smooth enough curvature. Besides, generated trajectory has short length, high success rate (no less than 80% average success rate in complex environment) and real time (the average period is less than 100 ms) Moreover, the velocity profile meets the vehicle stability requirements, actuator constraints, and comfort conditions.
