Academic literature on the topic 'Database of e-dating'

This paper set out to respond to the challenge posed by scholars in postcolonial digital humanities, for peripheral sexualities to converge with archival practices of digital dating, which is a mainly objectified and technologized praxis. Drawing insights from Robert Sternberg"s triadic psychological theory based on the consummation of passion, intimacy and commitment, as well as from African and oral romance stories, it came up with the conclusions that, on the one hand, Sternberg"s structuralist paradigm cannot be optimized in romance narratives for reasons of the complex and changing environmental conditions. African and oral romance stories are very instructive about the deconstructive character of society when it comes to the optimalization of the consummation of these components of love. Therefore with the techno-rationalist determinism of e-dating that prioritizes efficiency over effectivity, the paper suggests that these diverging insights of African and traditional philosophy about the consummation of love can be integrated into the technological praxis in order to maximize its online educational potential, effectivity and reality. On the other hand, from these findings, the paper suggests that an archival system that converges with insights from Sternberg"s triadic psychological theory and African/oral romance stories, should not prioritize only objectoriented database systems which were developed from the mid-1980s out of a need to incorporate applications beyond data processing applications served by relational database systems. Therefore, it argues for an objectoriented database that incorporates subject-oriented considerations for a greater convergence of the database management system.

AbstractDecision-making in our everyday lives is surrounded by visually important information. Fashion, housing, dating, food or travel are just a few examples. At the same time, most commonly used tools for information retrieval operate on relational and text-based search models which are well understood by end users, but unable to directly cover visual information contained in images or videos. Researcher communities have been trying to reveal the semantics of multimedia in the last decades with ever-improving results, dominated by the success of deep learning. However, this does not close the gap to relational retrieval model on its own and often rather solves a very specialized task like assigning one of pre-defined classes to each object within a closed application ecosystem. Retrieval models based on these novel techniques are difficult to integrate in existing application-agnostic environments built around relational databases, and therefore, they are not so widely used in the industry. In this paper, we address the problem of closing the gap between visual information retrieval and relational database model. We propose and formalize a model for discovering candidates for new relational attributes by analysis of available visual content. We design and implement a system architecture supporting the attribute extraction, suggestion and acceptance processes. We apply the solution in the context of e-commerce and show how it can be seamlessly integrated with SQL environments widely used in the industry. At last, we evaluate the system in a user study and discuss the obtained results.

Due to the substantial development of information and communications technology, the use of E-learning in higher education has become essential to boost teaching methods and enhance students' learning skills and competencies. E-learning in Software Engineering turns out to be increasingly interesting for scholars. In fact, researchers have worked to enhance modern Software Engineering education techniques to meet the required educational objectives. The aim of this article is to analyse the scientific production on E-learning Software Engineering education by conducting a bibliometric analysis of 10,603 publications, dating from 1954 to 2020 and available in the Scopus database. The results reveal some scientific production information, such as the temporal evolution of the publications, the most prolific authors, institutions and countries, as well as the languages used. Besides, the paper evaluates additional bibliometric parameters, including the authors' production, journal productivity, and scientific cooperation, among other bibliometric parameters. The subject of the current study has not been treated by any previous bibliometric studies. Our research is deeper and more specific; it covers a long period of 66 years and a large number of publications, thanks to the chosen search string containing the different spellings of the used terms. In addition, the literature is analysed using several tools such as Microsoft Excel, VOSviewer, and Python. The research findings can be used to identify the current state of E-learning Software Engineering Education, as well as to identify various research trends and the general direction of E-learning research.

One of the current trends in archaeological geoinformatics in Russia is the creation of web mapping portals that integrate spatial and thematic data on the given areas of concentration of archaeological sites. As part of the study of the life support system of the ancient population of the Tura and Pyshma interfl uves (Tyumen region) developed a geoportal on the basis of free and open source soft ware. The server part developed on the basis of GeoServer, provides storage of the information and authorized access to it. Vector data is stored in PostgreSQL database management system using PostGIS add-in. Raster data is stored on the server as GeoTIFF and MrSID fi les. Th e technologies used in the development of the client web-application allow using it in modern web-browsers without installing additional soft ware on the user’s devices. Th e geoportal user interface is an interactive map of spatial data layers as well as map control elements. Th e general control elements include the zoom buttons, the scale setting on the available layer extents, the zoom slider, the scale bar, the geographic coordinates fi eld of the cursor installation, the button enabling the attribute information display mode. Th ematic content of the geoportal includes space images with medium (10 m) and extra high (up to 0.3 m) spatial resolution, AW3D relief model (25 m), topographic maps, UAV images of certain areas (orthophotomaps and DEM), vectorlayers of archaeological sites, hydrography, landscapes restoration, results of archaeological sites borders mapping using GPS-receivers, as well as the results of bathymetry survey. Th e layer of archaeological site (366 objects) contains attributive information including type, period, description, dating. Geoportal is a convenient tool for management and visualization of the accumulated information arrays for specialists without extensive knowledge in cartography and GIS.

O Estado de Mato Grosso do Sul está colocado em sétimo lugar no ranking brasileiro de consumo de agrotóxicos, de acordo com os dados do Ministério da Saúde. Tal fato pode acarretar uma série de consequências negativas à saúde humana, tais como problemas relacionados aos efeitos cancerígenos de determinadas substâncias. Este trabalho propõe avaliar a correlação entre a exposição humana aos agrotóxicos mais utilizados no Estado e a prevalência de morbidades não transmissíveis atendidas pelo SUS (Sistema Único de Saúde) em ambiente hospitalar no período de 2013 a 2019. A metodologia utilizada foi a revisão bibliográfica com data superior a 1998 na base de dados do SciELO (Scientific Electronic Library), PubMed, Ibama (Instituto Brasileiro do Meio Ambiente e dos Recursos Naturais Renováveis) e Anvisa (Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária), com as informações a respeito das morbidades mais prevalentes obtidas por meio de pesquisa na base de dados do DATASUS referentes ao período de 2013 a 2019. Os resultados obtidos indicaram um número significativo de morbidades hospitalares não transmissíveis que podem estar relacionadas com a exposição crônica aos agrotóxicos em Mato Grosso do Sul, um Estado com economia baseada no agronegócio. Os resultados, quando comparados às informações obtidas no Estado do Amazonas, que apresenta um perfil econômico não direcionado ao agronegócio (26º lugar no ranking no consumo de agrotóxicos), indicaram que Mato Grosso do Sul possui índices superiores relacionados com a ocorrência desses agravos e que a utilização contínua destes produtos pode estar afetando a saúde da população. Palavras-chave: Contaminação Ambiental. Saúde Humana. Exposição aos Agrotóxicos. AbstractThe state of Mato Grosso do Sul ranks 6th in Brazil’s pesticides use due to the increase of agribusiness, according to the Ministry of Health. Such a fact may offer a series of negative consequences to health, such as problems related to the carcinogenic effects of some substances ,This paper proposes to evaluate the correlation between human exposure to the most commonly used pesticides in the region and the prevalence of noncommunicable diseases seen by SUS (Brazil’s Unified Health System) in hospital settings in the period from 2013 to 2019. The research methodology was a literature review dating back to 1998 in the SciELO (Scientific Electronic Library), PubMed, Ibama (Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources), and Anvisa (National Health Surveillance Agency) databases. The information regarding the most incident or prevalent diseases was obtained by searching the DATASUS database from the period from 2015 to 2019.The results indicated a significant number of noncommunicable diseases that may be related to chronic exposure to pesticides in Mato Grosso do Sul when compared to data from Amazonas that presents an economic profile not directed to agribusiness, taking the 26th place in the ranking in the consumption of pesticides in the country, which presented lower rates related to the occurrence of these diseases.

An isotopic database for the Pacific/Polynesian rat (Rattus exulans) and foods that it scavenges is used to examine diet-induced 14C age variation in omnivores. We discuss a suite of 26 δ14C determinations and 13C and 15N analysis for modern Pacific/Polynesian rat bone gelatin and available food items from Kapiti Island, New Zealand (40°51'S, 174°75'E). These analyses provide the first isotopic data for modern specimens of the species, collected as part of a larger project to determine potential sources of bias in unexpectedly old 14C age measurements on subfossil specimens of R. exulans from New Zealand. Stable C, N and 14C isotopic and trapping data are used to trace carbon intake via the diet of the rats in each habitat. Data from specimens linked to five specific habitats on the island indicate that modern populations of R. exulans are not in equilibrium with atmospheric values of δ14C, being either enriched or depleted relative to the atmospheric curve in 1996/97, the period of collection. The δ14C values recorded for R. exulans are associated with diet, and result from variation in δ14C values found in animal-protein food items available to a scavenging omnivore. The titer of carbon deviating from atmospheric values is believed to be derived from the essential amino acids in the protein-rich foods of the rat diet.Present evidence suggests that the depletion required to affect 14C ages limits the possibility that diet introduces dramatic offsets from true ages. Marine diets, for example, would have a variable effect on ages for terrestrial omnivores, contraindicating the application of a standard marine correction for such specimens. We suggest that to identify the extent to which diet may influence the 14C age in a given specimen of terrestrial omnivore, the separation and dating of essential amino acids vs. a nonessential amino, such as glycine, be applied.

Abstract Background: Traditional drug development typically takes more than 15 years and costs 1 billions to bring a new drug to market. Drug repositioning, the application of established drug compounds to new therapeutic indications can hasten effective therapies at a lower cost. Although a number of treatment options are available, there is currently no proven cure for Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) besides bone marrow transplantation. We employed a novel two stages, transdisciplinary method to identify potential drug reposition candidates for MDS with commonly prescribed drugs. We found Digoxin, a drug prescribed for heart failure, as the leading candidate. Methods: After we downloaded all human mRNA microarray platforms and their associated annotation files from NCBI GEO database (as Jul 2014), we retained 145 microarray platforms from more than 4k unique Gene IDs. We then used a text mining tool, MetaMap (http://metamap.nlm.nih.gov/), to map text to Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) Concept Unique Identifier (CUI). Only concepts belong to Anatomical Abnormality, Disease or Syndrome and Neoplastic Process were kept. Then we manually grouped microarray samples into healthy and pathological conditions and susing R package, Limma, we generated diseases signatures by systematically comparing with 1.3M drug response gene expression signatures of 20K drugs/compounds and using pattern matching algorithm. In the second stage, drug repositioning candidates for MDS were further analyzed by integrating historical clinical data warehouse, METEOR (M ethodist E nvironment for T ranslational E nhancement and O utcomes R esearch). METEOR data warehouse contains clinical records of Houston Methodist Hospital System and external data dating from Jan 1st 2006 to present (2015). There are over 1 million unique patients and over 4 million unique patient encounters in METEOR. Selected drug repositioning candidates predicted by transcriptome data in the first stage were tested for their effects on MDS patients using METEOR data. Age, gender, race matched myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) patients that have taken or not taken a specific drug were compared for their overall survival. Results: 1174 diseases signatures for 301 human diseases were generated; for each the signatures, we computed it's repositioning score in CMap and LINCS database by non-parametric rank-ordered kolmogorov-Smirnov statistics. The overall disease-drug reposition map is presented in Figure 1. Many FDA approved indications were recovered by our disease-drug reposition map including 5'-azacitidine which was at top 1% of leading hints in the disease-drug reposition map (Figure 1B). We also find some potential new indication for old drugs such as cardiac glycosides (Digoxin, Digitoxin, Lanatoside C and others) for MDS (Figure 1D). In the second stage we found Digoxin, had a significant positive effect on high risk patients (Figure 2) unlike those for low risk MDS. Conclusions: We have generated 1174 gene expression signatures for 301 human diseases including MDS and systematically compared them with gene expression signatures of 20K drug/compounds. By integrating clinical data warehouse, METEOR, we further verified one potential drug repositioning candidate, Digoxin for high-risk MDS. We are currently testing Digoxin like compounds for its effects in short-term bone marrow culture from high-risk MDS patients. Preliminary results show encouraging results which will be reported at the Annual ASH meeting 2015. Disclosures No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

This chapter examines the literature on evaluation methods within e-learning with respect to their applicability to evaluate e-portfolio systems within higher education as evaluation criteria for reviewing e-portfolio provisions do not currently exist in the literature. The appr­oach taken is to initiate two extensive literature searches and reviews. The first search was undertaken in 2009 involved reviewing over 600 articles by abstract dating from 1995 to 2010 to develop evaluation criteria suitable for Blackboard LMS e-portfolio systems evaluation. The second search undertaken in 2013 involved extending the search criteria to include further terminology and databases and returned over 4107 articles, which were read by title and abstract dating from 2009 to 2013, in order to systematically map evaluation methods used within e-learning to assess their quality and applicability for evaluating e-portfolio systems. The implications of the research undertaken provide a starting-point for further research into the development of robust e-portfolio evaluation models and frameworks. The lack of evidence uncovered in the 2009 and 2013 searches of the literature justify the need for further research into the design, development, and testing of evaluation methods for the evaluation of e-portfolio systems.
