A new perspective on the relationship between metacognition and social cognition: metacognitive concepts as socio cognitive tools
Venue: Synthese
Year: 2019

I defend an alternative to the two traditional accounts of the relationship between metacognition and social cognition: metacognition as primary versus social cognition as primary. These accounts have complementary explanatory vices and virtues. They also share a natural assumption: that interpretation in terms of mental states is "spectatorial" aiming exclusively for an objective description of the mental facts about self and others. I argue that if one rejects this assumption in favor of the view that interpretation in terms of mental states also plays important regulative roles with respect to minds and behavior, a new and superior conception of the relationship between metacognition and social cognition comes into view. On this conception, person level metacognitive concepts are socio cognitive tools that shape us into better cognitive agents and more predictable cognitive objects, thereby enhancing our abilities at social coordination. Mastery of these metacognitive concepts relies on subpersonal, non conceptual, procedural metacognition. This reconceptualization of the relationship between metacognition and social cognition combines the complementary explanatory virtues of the two traditional conceptions, while avoiding their complementary explanatory vices.
Limits to Globalization: Disruptive Geographies of Capitalist Development
Year: 2018

at least plausible that other forces could be (more) responsible. For example, Schall focuses very little on the broader rise of neoliberal ideologies outside of Sweden, and I wonder if the availability of such ideologies, along with economic developments that are invoked in the service of such ideologies, might have more to do with political developments in Sweden than Schall's account would suggest. Any study involving recent immigration in the western European context is at risk of being quickly outdated. Schall's book ends just before the escalation of the European migrant crisis, in which Sweden has been one of the major refugee destinations. In the context of this development, Schall's hesitant conclusion about the increasing importance of immigration and ethnicity in Swedish politics should probably be replaced by a more definitive one. The popularity of the far right Sweden Democrats that Schall chronicles through 2014 has become even more startling in the last couple of years, according to polling data. If anything, however, this development just underlines the importance of Schall's final conclusion that if Sweden's social democracy is to survive, it must 'speak back' to both neoliberalism and welfare chauvinism (p. 200) This is likely to be a difficult battle in the current political climate, in Sweden and elsewhere.
Adiposity related risks among the middle aged and elderly Chinese: the role of siesta and nocturnal sleep duration.
Venue: Nutricion hospitalaria
Year: 2021

BACKGROUND increasingly, research suggests that lack of sleep is linked to adiposity worldwide, but few studies have been conducted in middle aged and elderly Chinese subjects. The purpose of the present study was to analyze the association of siesta and nocturnal sleep duration with the prevalence of adiposity in middle aged and elderly Chinese individuals. METHODS a total of 7,891 community dwelling Chinese subjects who had participated in the 2015 China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study were included. A four stage random sampling method was used to select participants. Siesta and nocturnal sleep duration was self reported. Adiposity, including general obesity and abdominal obesity, was assessed. Multiple logistic analyses were conducted to explore the association between siesta, nocturnal sleep duration, and adiposity. RESULTS people with long siesta durations 1 hour/day) were significantly associated with an increased risk for abdominal obesity, independently and in all subgroup analyses, when compared to those without regular siesta. ORs after adjustment of confounding factors included: all subjects, OR 1.45, 95 CI, 1.23 to 1.70; middle aged subjects, OR 1.46, 95 CI, 1.15 to 1.86; elderly, OR 1.43, 95 CI, 1.14 to 1.78. CONCLUSIONS our data show that siesta duration plays a role in the prevalence of age specific abdominal obesity. Individuals with long siesta durations are more likely to have abdominal obesity among the middle aged and elderly population when compared to those without regular siesta. The results of this study need to be confirmed by further studies.

Vector Autoregressive Modelling of the Interaction among Macroeconomic Stability Indicators in Nigeria (1981 2016)
Year: 2019

The dynamic behaviour of macroeconomic stability indicators particularly their; evolution, interaction and interdependence, obviously cause shocks among themselves. This study is a multivariate time series modelling and investigation of the interaction and pattern of causality among exchange rates, inflation rate, interest rates, and implicit price deflator in Nigeria using unrestricted Variance Autoregression (VAR) Quarterly data on the variables spanning the period from 1981 to 2016 were sourced from CBN Statistical bulletin and used for the study. The study used both descriptive and analytical design. The result of the inverse root of AR characteristic polynomial indicated that the VAR model was stable. The Trace Statistics and Max Eigen result showed no co integrating relationship. The Schwarz Information Criterion showed a lag length of 2. The VAR estimates indicated that the exchange rate was significantly affected by its first lag and second lag, while inflation rates was significantly affected by its first lag. The Wald statistics showed that both lags of each variable were jointly significant in affecting itself. The impulse response showed that all variables were instantaneously affected by own shocks, however, it ruled out the Original Research Article Tuaneh; AJEBA, 9(4) 1 17, 2018; Article no.AJEBA.46515 2 response in exchange rate to contemporaneous shocks in inflation rate, interest rate and implicit price deflator. The variance decomposition further showed that at least 80% of the impulse response were from own shocks. It was consequently recommended that government should regulates interest rates and exchange rates.

Year: 2017

Teaching is both art and science in solving learning problems and making learners learn happily. The Buddha is the model in good teaching. He started teaching from simple to complex contents. He was praised and recognized as the Great Master or the Great Teacher of human beings and celestial beings. Good teaching can help students understand learning contents through media, activity, measurement and evaluation. Learners have a chance in learning participation and practice. It is clear that The Lord Buddha encouraged the audience to raise questions and opinions, and then he kindly gave them advice, direction, suggestion and incentive in practice according to their character. This concept can help solve learning problems by focusing on learner centered method to let the learners participate in teaching and learning process. This concept can be integrated in teaching for students in every level. The teachers have to be open minded to get feedback from students or others, and then they can learn from one another and self study.  The Buddha' Teaching Method, Integration, Learner center
Silica coating of iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles by reverse microemulsion method and their functionalization with cationic polymer P(NIPAm co AMPTMA) for antibacterial vancomycin immobilization
Year: 2020

Iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) have previously been demonstrated as a platform for antibiotic drug carriers in biomedicine. In this work, a new approach has been envisioned to improve the colloidal stability of IONPs in aqueous media as well as drug nanoparticle interactions through the surface modification with poly[N isopropylacrylamide co (3 acrylamidopropyl) trimethylammonium chloride] P(NIPAm co AMPTMA) via a multi step process. Briefly, surface modification of oleic acid coated nanoparticles (Fe3O4 OA) (prepared by co precipitation) was carried out with tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) using an inverse microemulsion method and subsequently with reactive vinyl group CH CH2) containing [3 (methacryloyloxy)propyl] trimethoxysilane (MPS) by a seed growth process. The MPS containing silica coated iron oxide particles (Fe3O4/SiO2) were used as seed for copolymerization of NIPAm and AMPTMA to obtain the thermally sensitive magnetic nanocomposites (MNCs) Fe3O4/SiO2/P(NIPAm co AMPTMA) Analysis of the prepared Fe3O4/SiO2/P(NIPAM co AMPTMA) nanocomposites showed well defined magnetic core and a modified silica shell with organic polymer. Changes in temperature resulted in alteration of the hydrodynamic diameter and zeta potential. To evaluate practical use of the MNCs, an antibacterial vancomycin was immobilized, and bacterial growth inhibition demonstrated the potential of these nanocomposites for application in biomedicine.
BFAST: An Alignment Tool for Large Scale Genome Resequencing
Venue: PloS one
Year: 2009

The new generation of massively parallel DNA sequencers, combined with the challenge of whole human genome resequencing, result in the need for rapid and accurate alignment of billions of short DNA sequence reads to a large reference genome. Speed is obviously of great importance, but equally important is maintaining alignment accuracy of short reads, in the 25 100 base range, in the presence of errors and true biological variation.  We introduce a new algorithm specifically optimized for this task, as well as a freely available implementation, BFAST, which can align data produced by any of current sequencing platforms, allows for user customizable levels of speed and accuracy, supports paired end data, and provides for efficient parallel and multi threaded computation on a computer cluster. The new method is based on creating flexible, efficient whole genome indexes to rapidly map reads to candidate alignment locations, with arbitrary multiple independent indexes allowed to achieve robustness against read errors and sequence variants. The final local alignment uses a Smith Waterman method, with gaps to support the detection of small indels.  We compare BFAST to a selection of large scale alignment tools BLAT, MAQ, SHRiMP, and SOAP in terms of both speed and accuracy, using simulated and real world datasets. We show BFAST can achieve substantially greater sensitivity of alignment in the context of errors and true variants, especially insertions and deletions, and minimize false mappings, while maintaining adequate speed compared to other current methods. We show BFAST can align the amount of data needed to fully resequence a human genome, one billion reads, with high sensitivity and accuracy, on a modest computer cluster in less than 24 hours. BFAST is available at (http:/bfast.sourceforge.net)
Is intertemporal price discrimination the cause of price dispersion in markets with low search costs?
Year: 2020

Theories of intertemporal price discrimination imply that prices must be chosen using mixed strategies, with retailers changing their prices randomly over time. Otherwise, consumers will learn which retailer has the lowest price, and eventually, all customers will patronize the lowest price retailer, or all retailers will charge the same price. We test whether price dispersion is explained by intertemporal price discrimination strategies using a dataset of identical products sold through the PriceSpy price comparison website. Our results show that there are clusters of retailers with similar pricing within each cluster, but with different price levels between clusters even after controlling for retailer heterogeneity. Retailers also remain in the same price cluster over time, suggesting that consumers have ample opportunities to learn which retailers belong to which price cluster. Intertemporal price discrimination is thus unlikely to have caused the observed price dispersion.

Prediction from regional angst A study of NFL sentiment in Twitter using technical stock market charting
Venue: Decis. Support Syst.
Year: 2017

To predict NFL game outcomes, we examine the application of technical stock market techniques to sentiment gathered from social media. From our analysis we found a $14.84 average return per sentiment based wager compared to a $12.21 average return loss on the entire 256 games of the 20152016 regular season if using an odds only approach. We further noted that wagers on underdogs (i.e. the less favored teams) that exhibit a golden cross pattern in sentiment (e.g. the most recent sentiment signal crosses the longer baseline sentiment) netted a $48.18 return per wager on 41 wagers. These results show promise of cross domain research and we believe that applying stock market techniques to sports wagering may open an entire new research area. Gathered NFL tweet sentiment to predict outcomes and wagering decisionsUsed difference in moving averages for optimal wagering return $14.84/game)Sentiment exhibiting a golden cross netted $48.18/game returnsFans were able to signal winning teams by their change in sentiment.
A CRIANCA COM AUTISMO E IMPORTANCIA DAS INTERACOES SOCIAIS NA EDUCACAO INFANTIL
Year: 2019

Trata se de um estudo de caso exploratorio, realizado em um Centro Municipal da Educacao Infantil de Vitoria, com os objetivos de se compreender o autismo e as possibilidades de desenvolvimento de Suely  na relacao com os pares e adultos. O sujeito da pesquisa corresponde a uma crianca diagnosticada com TEA. De acordo com Vygotsky (2005, 2007) a formacao da identidade perpassa as relacoes sociais, estao presentes nas interacoes com o outro, na apropriacao da cultura e desenvolvimento da linguagem. O autismo exige cada vez mais estudos continuos e aprofundados para se compreender as possibilidades de trabalho com os sujeitos com autismo. Reconhece se as similitudes e particularidades de cada caso, pois as interacoes sociais e os processos de subjetivacao afetam a formacao dos individuos de maneiras distintas, a partir das transformacoes estruturais do/no sujeito, mas, tambem, a partir da apropriacao e interacao com a cultura, as linguagens e a alteridade. Os resultados indicam que com o processo de desenvolvimento da linguagem oral, Suely passou a interagir socialmente com as demais criancas. As oportunidades de interacoes, a partir das praticas pedagogicas oferecidas, facilitaram a insercao da crianca com autismo no cotidiano do CMEI e, ainda, favoreceram a apropriacao da cultura. Vale resaltar que o laudo, mediante diagnostico medico em 2014, a pratica colaborativa, os planejamentos e intervencoes pedagogicas contribuiram significativamente para uma pratica inclusiva.

Parameter Selection for Denoising Algorithms Using NR IQA with CNN
Venue: MMM
Year: 2018

In order to yield satisfied image after denosing processing, the process of error tracing is nearly necessary for parameter selection. In practice, usually the choice of such parameters is time consuming and empirically dependant when a ground truth reference is inavailable. Although some successful methods have been proposed in recent research, they still require certain parameters to be set a priori for parameter optimization. These methods tend to be strongly reliant on restrictive assumptions on the signal and noise of input image. In this paper, we propose a framework of parameter selection, which is based on subjective perceptive evaluation and implementated by a well designed convolutional neural network. The proposed algorithm has the following advantages: (1) consistents with subjective perception, (2) does not require a reference image available, (3) with better capability of robustness and generalization, (4) trims the number of iteration of denosing in parameter selection. Experimental results show that our algorithm outperforms other methods in parameter selection. Our parameter trimming framework saves the computation of iterative image denoising up to 74%
Achieving Transparent and Real time Collaboration in Co AutoCAD Application
Venue: J. Univers. Comput. Sci.
Year: 2011

In order to support the real time collaboration between geographically distributed designers, the single user application AutoCAD is required to be transformed transparently into groupware system by adopting fully replicated architecture. As the core issue to maintain the consistency of the distributed replicas, traditional consistency maintenance algorithms (such as Operation Transformation and Address Space Transformation algorithms) however, support only linear data model, and may lead to low algorithm efficiency and small operation types when adapted to the collaborative design field. In this paper, a novel layered document model is proposed to abstract the document model of AutoCAD, and the AST algorithm is adapted according to the model to achieve transparent real time collaboration. Moreover, the Update conflicts resolution based on child precedence strategy, and the database listening technique used to grasp the semantics of interface operations to realize operation adaptation are also presented. Efficiency analysis of the Layer AST algorithm is given, showing the improved performance of the algorithm. Finally, the system architecture of Co AutoCAD using this strategy is detailed to guide the application.
Abstract 13699: Cardiovascular Health Impact of Air Pollution Control in Beijing and Urban China: Projections From the Cardiovascular Disease Policy Model China
Year: 2015

Air pollution ranks the 4th among risk factors responsible for China's avoidable disease burden. We projected the potential cardiovascular health benefits achievable with sustained air quality improvement in Beijing and all of urban China.  Coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke mortality and life years gained were projected in adults aged 35 84 years in Beijing and urban China using the Cardiovascular Disease Policy Model China. We simulated two air quality improvement scenarios from 2015 2030, each achieved gradually over 10 years: 1) the 2008 Beijing Olympics fine particle matter (PM2.5) level of 55 mg/m3, and 2) the World Health Organization (WHO) recommendation of 10 mg/m3. For comparison, we simulated a 50% reduction in active and secondhand smoking and reduction of systolic hypertension to 140 mmHg, each over 5 years. Relative risks of CHD, stroke and all cause mortality associated with long term PM2.5 exposure were obtained from a meta analysis of observational studies. Systolic blood pressure and smoking relative risks were estimated from China Multi provincial Cohort Study.  PM2.5 reduction to 2008 Olympic levels in Beijing would reduce stroke deaths by 2.7% CHD deaths by 7.2% over 2015 2030 and would gain life years on the order of about a third of that projected for a 50% smoking reduction, and a fourth of that projected for systolic hypertension control (Table) However, achieving more aggressive WHO PM2.5 goal would yield greater life year gains than either tobacco or systolic blood pressure control. Achieving 2008 Olympics levels in urban China would prevent 304,000 stroke deaths, 619,000 CHD deaths, and gain 4.2 million life years over 2015 2030.  Air pollution is a leading cardiovascular risk factor in Beijing and all urban China. We projected that lowering air pollution to Beijing Olympics level could prevent about 900,000 cardiovascular deaths and gain about 4.2 million life years in urban China by 2030.
