Complex regional pain syndrome phenotypic characteristics and potential biomarkers
Venue: Nature Reviews Neurology
Year: 2018

Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a pain condition that usually affects a single limb, often following an injury. The underlying pathophysiology seems to be complex and probably varies between patients. Clinical diagnosis is based on internationally agreed upon criteria, which consider the reported symptoms, presence of signs and exclusion of alternative causes. Research into CRPS biomarkers to support patient stratification and improve diagnostic certainty is an important scientific focus, and recent progress in this area provides an opportunity for an up to date topical review of measurable disease predictive, diagnostic and prognostic parameters. Clinical and biochemical attributes of CRPS that may aid diagnosis and determination of appropriate treatment are delineated. Findings that predict the development of CRPS and support the diagnosis include trauma related factors, neurocognitive peculiarities, psychological markers, and local and systemic changes that indicate activation of the immune system. Analysis of signatures of non coding microRNAs that could predict the treatment response represents a new line of research. Results from the past 5 years of CRPS research indicate that a single marker for CRPS will probably never be found; however, a range of biomarkers might assist in clinical diagnosis and guide prognosis and treatment.
Gender Swapping and Socializing in Cyberspace: An Exploratory Study
Venue: Cyberpsychology Behav. Soc. Netw.
Year: 2008

Massively multiplayer online role playing games (MMORPGs) are one of the most interesting innovations in the area of online computer gaming. Given the relative lack of research in the area, the main aims of the study were to examine (a) the impact of online gaming (e.g. typical playing behavior) in the lives of online gamers, (b) the effect of online socializing in the lives of gamers, and (c) why people engage in gender swapping. A self selecting sample of 119 online gamers ranging from 18 to 69 years of age (M 28.5 years) completed a questionnaire. The results showed that just over one in five gamers (21% said they preferred socializing online to offline. Significantly more male gamers than female gamers said that they found it easier to converse online than offline. It was also found that 57% of gamers had engaged in gender swapping, and it is suggested that the online female persona has a number of positive social attributes in a male oriented environment.

Tidal dissipation in rubble pile asteroids
Venue: Icarus
Year: 2019

We develop a simple scaling argument for frictional dissipation in rubble pile asteroids, parameterized as an effective dissipation factor Q. This scaling is combined with a prediction (Goldreich, P. Sari, R. 2009. Tidal evolution of rubble piles. ) for the tidal response amplitude, parameterized by the Love number k2. We compare the combined scaling with k2/Q values inferred from asteroid binaries in which the semi major axis is determined by a balance between tidal dissipation and the binary YORP (or BYORP) effect (Jacobson, S.A. Scheeres, D.J. 2011. Long term stable equilibria for synchronous binary asteroids.  The k2/Q scaling matches the inferred values if dissipation is confined to a regolith layer of thickness 30 m, similar to the available asteroid regolith thickness estimates. The scaling suggests a regolith thickness that is independent of (or decreases slightly with) increasing asteroid radius; this result is consistent with at least one model of regolith generation via impacts.
To Phub or not to Phub: Understanding off Task Smartphone Usage and its Consequences in the Academic Environment
Venue: ECIS
Year: 2017

This study was inspired in part by calls for research to explore the ubiquitous phenomenon of phubbing in the academic environment. The goal of our study is to explore the phenomenon of phubbing and its consequences among students. Combining observations, questionnaires, quasi experimental research design and focus groups interviews, our findings suggest that students phub a substantial amount of lecture time and often underestimate the effect this behavior has on their learning process. The quasi experimental study shows that the number of times a student looks at a smartphone during the lecture is negatively related to the visual attention, while the total duration of smartphone use worsens the auditory attention. Follow up analysis of the focus group interviews uncovers the causes of the phenomenon and possible preventive measures. The study thus contributes to a growing body of IS research on undesirable consequences of ICT use and provides implications for IS practitioners, simultaneously calling for a better solution of the problem commonly witnessed by the universities: the improvement of the educational process and student performance in the digital society.
Real Estate Financing and Interest Rate Hedging
Year: 2017

The expansive monetary policy of the European Central Bank has been leading to all time low interest rates and to a strong move into real estate investment. Low interest rates can work in favor of the investor (due to low interest rate expenditures) but increasing interest rates can jeopardize real estate investments. Since changes in interest rates are unpredictable, an investor needs to deal with this volatility. The capital market offers several financial instruments (so called "derivatives" to overcome the above mentioned obstacle. There is no "one size fits all" strategy. The investor needs to decide which financing structure to combine with which form of derivative.  The investigation not only explains and shows how real estate financing and hedging strategies on a given project in Germany can work but also explains why it is crucial to link these segments. To achieve this purpose, the return on equity and return cash flows at risk are numerically estimated. The evaluative purpose will be served by using the abovementioned ratios and cash flows to derive recommendations of action. In doing so, this study will illustrate the importance of hedging, particularly for real estate investors and investors in general.  Interest rates on a monthly basis for the period of June 1990 until March 2017 from Thomson Reuters Eikon and real life data from a German real estate investor and a German financial institution were collected. Thereafter, these numbers were used as a basis to perform interest rate and cash flow simulations (Monte Carlo) The simulations were used to determine superior financing and hedging strategies for the investor.  The results of this study highlight the benefits from leveraged financing and the necessity of interest rate risk management (hedging) to obtain stabilized future cash flows and reduce volatility caused by fluctuating interest rates. Fixed rate loans offer protection against rising interest rates, but lack flexibility. Floating loans offer more flexibility but are riskier due to the unhedged interest rate exposure.
STUDY OF DECONVOLUTIONAL SENTENCE RECONSTRUCTION
Year: 2019

Finding an effective latent sentence representation is often a required step in most of the natural language processing (NLP) research. Most of the time, people are using recurrent neural networks to extract this latent representation with additional techniques like attention mechanism and teacher forcing. However, such techniques might weaken the amount of information carried inside the latent representation because the decoding process is not relying on the latent representation solely, but more on some external signals. In this essay, we are going to explore how we make use of deconvolution networks for sentence reconstruction. This can be potentially extended to solve other NLP tasks such as machine translation and sentiment analysis. From our sentence reconstruction experiment, the deconvolutional method outperforms a standard RNN method on short sentences.

Reconstructing the identities of Afran Qalo Oromo: A case of Babile Tribe a View of Recent Raiding Conflicts in Babile, Eastern Ethiopia
Year: 2020

The Hararghe oromo are descendants of the Barentu confederacy who are found in eastern part of the country. They are classified in to Afran Qalo, Itu, Humbana, Dhumuga and Karrayu. The paper is focused on the Afran Qalo those settled in the Eastern Hararghe, particularly Babile tribe who landing zone in the peripheral boarder restrict with Somali ethnic clans. As a name indicate four Qalo sons Jarso, Babile, Nole and Ala living in this area. Jarso and Babile were live mixed together with Somali. Babile is the oldest son of Qallo who settled beyond the Erer River and the peripheral corner with the Somali in the eastern part. Currently, the town entitle Babile found in the eastern part and it proclaims the center of Babile Oromo tribe in ancient time. Because of the restricted with the Somalia ethnic in the peripheral area, the some Babile Oromo tribe were lost and forget their original identity. The researcher disclose two dissimilarity opinion based on the Babile have a child or not. Some were advocate have a children's and other elaborately Babile have an ilma guddufacha. The paper seeks to investigate the historical background of Babile Oromo tribe based on the literature and Primary data collected from informants which is the most important for the objective was gathered through interview. The paper argues that for the recent conflict, the role of political elite in ethnic and the intervention of religious leader in politics were highly visible. To accomplish this idea, the researcher utilized qualitative research method. Document analysis, group discussion and observation were part of this part.
Rethinking the Combined and Individual Orders of Derivative of States for Differential Recurrent Neural Networks
Venue: ACM Trans. Multim. Comput. Commun. Appl.
Year: 2019

Due to their special gating schemes, Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) has shown greater potential to process complex sequential information than the traditional Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) The conventional LSTM, however, fails to take into consideration the impact of salient spatio temporal dynamics present in the sequential input data. This problem was first addressed by the differential Recurrent Neural Network (dRNN) which uses a differential gating scheme known as Derivative of States (DoS) DoS uses higher orders of internal state derivatives to analyze the change in information gain originated from the salient motions between the successive frames. The weighted combination of several orders of DoS is then used to modulate the gates in dRNN. While each individual order of DoS is good at modeling a certain level of salient spatio temporal sequences, the sum of all the orders of DoS could distort the detected motion patterns. To address this problem, we propose to control the LSTM gates via individual orders of DoS. To fully utilize the different orders of DoS, we further propose to stack multiple levels of LSTM cells in an increasing order of state derivatives. The proposed model progressively builds up the ability of the LSTM gates to detect salient dynamical patterns in deeper stacked layers modeling higher orders of DoS; thus, the proposed LSTM model is termed deep differential Recurrent Neural Network (d2RNN) The effectiveness of the proposed model is demonstrated on three publicly available human activity datasets: NUS HGA, Violent Flows, and UCF101. The proposed model outperforms both LSTM and non LSTM based state of the art algorithms.
Some results about nullnorms on bounded lattices
Venue: Fuzzy Sets Syst.
Year: 2020

Nullnorms as a generalization of the concepts of t norms and t conorms admit a zero element to be any element in a bounded lattice. In this paper, we discuss the characterization of idempotent nullnorms on bounded lattices and investigate some of the main properties of them. We propose some new methods yielding nullnorms, in particular idempotent nullnorms, on bounded lattices with the fixed zero element under some additional constraints. Moreover, some illustrative examples are presented to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed methods.
Educational Digital Games: A Theoretical Framework About Design Models, Learning Theories and User Experience
Venue: HCI
Year: 2018

This article presents a study on design models for Educational Digital Games, taking into account learning theories, game design models, game elements and user experience. Through a theoretical framework the research seeks to understand the different perspectives involved in these models, considering the interdisciplinary character of the developer teams and their target users. The aim of the research is to identify similarities, differences, and gaps between the models investigated. Thus, a literature review was conducted and four models for analysis were identified. As a method, both a comparative and a qualitative analysis of these models were used, based on a data analysis spiral combined with an analysis protocol. The analysis sought to identify pedagogical approaches, instructional design aspects and other elements involved in the design process. Game elements and user experience were also considered relevant for the analysis. As a result, this research presents a hybrid model which complements the analyzed models, using the investigated framework as a structural basis to assist developers and content specialists when designing educational digital games for teachers and students, according to the learning objectives and the theme addressed in the game. Finally, this article presents a brief analysis of the results obtained and considers how the present study may contribute to future investigations.
Comparative gene expression analysis of the b amylase and hordein gene families in the developing barley grain.
Venue: Gene
Year: 2019

Expression of hordeins and b amylase during barley grain development is important in determining malting quality parameters that are controlled by protein and malt enzyme levels. The relationship between protein and enzyme levels is confounding because, in general, protein and malt enzyme activity are positively correlated and the malting and brewing industries demand relatively low levels of protein and relatively high levels of enzymes. Separation of these traits is desirable because high protein levels are one of the primary causes of barley not meeting malt quality standards. Studies on barley grain development have not resulted in a consensus on the temporal accumulation of hordein and endosperm specific b amylase (Bmy1) and thus, it is unclear whether hordeins and Bmy1 are under control of the same temporal regulator (s) Therefore, temporal expression patterns of hordeins (B [Hor2] C [Hor1] D [Hor3] and g hordein [Hor5] were compared to Bmy1 throughout grain development (5 to 35 days after anthesis (DAA) Transcript accumulation between hordeins and Bmy1 occurred simultaneously beginning during the pre storage phase of grain development whereas the B1 hordein protein appeared two days before Bmy1 most likely due to variations in gene copy number. Interestingly, the largest increase in hordein and Bmy1 transcript levels occurred between 5 and 9 (Hor2, Hor2 B1, Hor2 B3, Hor3, Hor5 g1, and Hor5 g3) or 9 and 13 DAA (Hor1 and Bmy1) Additionally, ubiquitous b amylase (Bmy2) has a novel expression pattern and was the predominant b amylase present between 5 and 15 DAA whereas Bmy1 was the predominant b amylase present between 17 and 35 DAA.
A cognitive model fleshes out Kahneman's fast and slow systems
Venue: BICA 2015
Year: 2015

(2011) posits two main processes that characterize thinking: "System 1" is a fast decision making system responsible for intuitive decision making based on emotions, vivid imagery, and associative memory. "System 2" is a slow system that observes System 1's outputs, and intervenes when "intuition" is insufficient. Such an intervention occurs "when an event is detected that violates the model of the world that System 1 maintains" (Kahneman, 2011, p. 24) Here, we propose specific underlying mechanisms for Kahneman's Systems 1 and 2, in terms of the LIDA model, a broad, systems level, cognitive architecture (Franklin et al. 2014) LIDA postulates that human cognition consists of a continuing, overlapping iteration of cognitive cycles, each a cognitive "atom," out of which higher order processes are built. In LIDA terms, System 1 employs consciously mediated action selection in which a stimulus is acted upon within one or two cognitive cycles. In contrast, System 2, which LIDA posits to operate according to James' ideomotor theory (James, 1950) requires more cognitive cycles in its deliberative decision making. Thus, we suggest that System 2 employs multiple occurrences of System 1 in its operation. To test the proposed mechanisms, we perform an in silico experiment using a LIDA based software agent.
Adiponectin and leptin in maternal serum, cord blood, and breast milk.
Venue: Clinical chemistry
Year: 2006

The presence of the adipokines adiponectin and leptin in cord blood and placental and fetal tissues suggests a possible role in fetal development.  We measured concentrations of adiponectin and leptin in maternal serum, cord blood, and breast milk and examined their correlations within a large, population based study. Between November 2000 and November 2001, we recruited all mothers and their newborns after delivery at the University of Ulm (Ulm, Germany) The current analysis included 766 mothers with available breast milk samples collected 6 weeks postpartum. Adipokine concentrations were measured with commercially available ELISAs (R&D Systems) RESULTS Median adiponectin concentrations in maternal serum (n=713) cord blood (n=709) and breast milk (n=766) were 8.6 mg/L, 30.6 mg/L, and 10.9 microg/L, respectively. Median leptin concentrations were 12.8 microg/L in maternal serum, 7.8 microg/L in cord blood, and 174.5 ng/L in breast milk. Whereas increases in leptin concentrations with increasing birth weight, birth weight according to gestational age, and ponderal index were statistically significant in cord blood (all P values<0.0001) cord blood adiponectin was clearly related only to birth weight (P=0.0004) Concentrations of both adipokines were moderately correlated in breast milk and maternal serum (both Spearman rho values were 0.43; P<0.0001) CONCLUSIONS Concentrations of adiponectin and leptin vary strongly in maternal serum, cord blood, and breast milk, with only moderate correlations between both adipokines in maternal serum and breast milk. The health implications of these patterns warrant further investigation.
