Abstract:

Background: Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) is a spectrum which includes primary snoring, upper airway resistance syndrome, obstructive hypoventilation and obstructive sleep apnoea. Sleep disordered breathing (SDB) is characterized by snoring, witnessed apnoea, frequent arousal, mouth breathing, restless sleep, irritability, recurrent upper respiratory tract infections etc. Methods: This was a prospective observational study which included 20 children who presented to the otorhinolaryngology, pulmonary medicine, paediatric, oral and maxillofacial department were included in the study with clinical symptoms of obstructive sleep apnoea. Results: 20 children, 13 (65%) males and 7 (35%) females were included. Snoring was the most common complaint.15 (75%) were obese, 5 had adenotonsillar hypertrophy(25%) as the risk factor for OSA. 15 out of the 20 children were graded under mallampati class 1(75%), 4 class 2(20%), 1under class 3(5%). There was no significant association in severity of OSA between 2 genders (p=0.82). Positive correlation (r=0.52) was found between AHI and BMI and is found to be statistically significant (p=0.02), which suggests that degree of obesity does predict the severity of OSA. Conclusions: Obesity is the most significant risk factor among them followed by adenotonsillar hypertrophy. Hence children who snore should undergo polysomnography and necessary corrective measures should be prescribed.

Abstract:

Background: Tubercular otitis media (TOM) is a well described rare entity in literature. Its characteristic diagnostic delay leads to severe irreversible complications. Diagnosis is much more difficult when it co-exists with aural cholesteatoma. Its Actual incidence is thought to be much more, than what is reported in literature. This study was carried out to establish TOM as an under diagnosed entity and to study its various presentations. Methods: A prospective study was performed in 617 cases (both recurrence and new) of chronic otitis media who gave a fully informed consent, for being investigated for a probable diagnosis of TOM, based on history and clinical findings. Histopathological examination of the granulation tissue retrieved during biopsy/mastoid exploration surgery and mycobacterial culture of the aural discharge was performed in all cases. A final diagnosis was made with either of tests being reported as positive for mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. All confirmed cases were treated with a 6 month course of anti-tubercular therapy. Results: Diagnosis of TOM was confirmed in 12 cases. M:F ratio was 1:1.4. Cholesteatoma was found to co-exist in 4 cases (33.33%). A positive histopathology report was obtained in 11 cases (91.67%) while the mycobacterial culture yielded growth in 3 cases (25%) only. Canal wall down mastoidectomy was performed in 9 cases. In all cases, a follow-up with a 6 months course of anti-tubercular therapy gave satisfactory healing with no complications. Conclusions: The incidence of TOM, a potentially dangerous entity is on a rise. Role of surgery is crucial in procuring tissue for histopathological and bacteriological examination. It is a curable disease if diagnosed in time with early institution of anti-tubercular therapy.

Abstract:

Antrochoanal polyp is a benign lesion, originating from the mucosa of the maxillary sinus, grow into maxillary sinus, nasal cavity and posteriorly to involve the choana. Nasal obstruction and nasal discharge are their main symptoms. Epistaxis is rare as seen in infected cases. Clinical assessment along with radiology helps in the diagnosis of antrochoanal polyp. We hereby describe a case of infected antrochoanal polyp in a 20-year-old female who presented with unilateral nasal obstruction, nasal discharge and intermittent epistaxis. Complete excision was done through endoscopic approach. On histopathology it showed secondary infection caused by actinomycosis which is extremely rare finding. This might be the first case report of actinomycosis infection in antrochoanal polyp as it was not found previously in any antrochoanal polyp case. Patient was followed till 6 month without any symptom.

Abstract:

It is of great significance to recognize the metallurgical entity relations in order to construct the Knowledge graph of Metallurgical Literature and to further understand the metallurgical literature. However, there are few researches on the textual entity relations in metallurgical fields either few marked Corpora. The syntactic structure of the same entity relationship category is relatively simple and has strong domain characteristics. The traditional entity relationship model can not identify the domain entity relationship well. Meanwhile the syntactic structure of the same entity relations class is relatively simple, and the syntactic structure is relatively simple in the recognition of entity relations in metallurgy field. Furthermore, the entities with similar syntactic structure often have the same entity relations and the different words in the sentence have different contribution to the entity relations. In order to solve the mentioned problems, this paper will combine the algorithm that can highlight the syntactic structure in sentences and improve the accuracy of the model with the Algorithm that can highlight the contribution of words in sentences and the loss function level integration is carried out in the framework of small sample prototype network, so as to maximize the advantages of each algorithm and improve the accuracy –firstly, in the coding layer of the prototype network, we use the CNN algorithm which can highlight the important words in the sentences and the TreeLSTM algorithm which can parse the sentences in the text so that the syntactic relations between the words in the sentences can be acted on in the relation recognition, the sentences are coded together by two algorithms, then, the EUCLIDEAN distance loss is calculated by using this high quality coding and the prototype coding, finally, the traditional entity relation recognition model with Attention Mechanism is integrated into the loss function, further highlighting the decisive role of important words in text sentences in relation recognition and improving the generalization of the model. The results showed that compared with the traditional methods such as CNN, RNN, PCNN and Bi-LSTM, the proposed method in this paper has better performance in the case of small sample data set.

Abstract:

Chondroid syringomas are uncommon cutaneous neoplasms of sweat gland origin which are slow-growing, nontender, subcutaneous or intracutaneous in location and often occurring in the head and neck region. Chondroid syringoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of any subcutaneous nodule over the face. The clinician may miss the diagnosis of this lesion and if it is suspected, tumour should be excised with a margin of normal tissue and regular follow up should be done.

Abstract:

Extracting information about entities remains an important research area. This paper addresses the problem of corpus-level entity typing, i.e., inferring from a large corpus that an entity is a member of a class, such as "food" or "artist". The application of entity typing we are interested in is knowledge base completion, specifically, to learn which classes an entity is a member of. We propose FIGMENT to tackle this problem. FIGMENT is embedding-based and combines (i) a global model that computes scores based on global information of an entity and (ii) a context model that first evaluates the individual occurrences of an entity and then aggregates the scores. Each of the two proposed models has specific properties. For the global model, learning high-quality entity representations is crucial because it is the only source used for the predictions. Therefore, we introduce representations using the name and contexts of entities on the three levels of entity, word, and character. We show that each level provides complementary information and a multi-level representation performs best. For the context model, we need to use distant supervision since there are no context-level labels available for entities. Distantly supervised labels are noisy and this harms the performance of models. Therefore, we introduce and apply new algorithms for noise mitigation using multi-instance learning. We show the effectiveness of our models on a large entity typing dataset built from Freebase.

Abstract:

Castleman’s disease (CD) usually presents as localized or systemic lymphadenopathy or as an extra nodal mass. The usual site of presentation are mediastinum, retroperitoneum, axilla and mesentery. Only 3 cases of CD have been reported in retro pharyngeal space. We report a case of 20 year old male patient with retropharyngeal mass. He presented with difficulty in swallowing, change in voice and respiratory distress. The mass was removed in-toto transorally after performing elective tracheostomy. The histopathological findings were consistent with hyaline vascular type of CD. He was decannulated after two day and postoperative period was uneventful. Postoperative CT imaging confirmed the complete excision of tumor and patient is on follow up, with no signs of recurrence. The presentation of tumour in the retropharyngeal space which is a rare site of occurrence add to the uniqueness of this case. Unicentric CD has an excellent prognosis and surgery is the management of choice. Its clinical features, histological subtypes, treatment modalities and prognosis are discussed.

Abstract:

An infection with the larval stage of tapeworm (Taenia solium) is known as cysticercosis. It is seen as cysts in various human tissues, most commonly in the the brain and orbit. Head and neck (except brain and orbit) is a rare location for cysticercosis. We present a case of lateral neck swelling which turned out to be solitary cysticercosis of sternocleidomastoid (SCM). The case is reported because it is rare and to reinforce the fact that possibility of parasitic infection should be considered while dealing with a case of neck swelling. It can be managed medically and high resolution sonography can be a reliable tool for diagnosis and follow-up.

Proper nouns form an open class, making the incompleteness of manually or automatically learned classification rules an obvious problem. The purpose of this paper is twofold: first, to suggest the use of a complementary “backup” method to increase the robustness of any hand-crafted or machine-learning-based NE tagger; and second, to explore the effectiveness of using more fine-grained evidence—namely, syntactic and semantic contextual knowledge—in classifying NEs.

Abstract:

Background: Spontaneous bleed from ear, nose, throat is a rare condition called as hematohidrosis, which occurs under condition of extreme physical or emotional stress. This condition manifests as spontaneous painless bleeding through unbroken skin in any part of the body. It is self-limiting in nature. This condition is relatively unaware among otorhinolaryngologists, the diagnosis of which is made by presence of bloody discharge without any obvious cause through intact skin, witnessed and confirmed by a health professional and the presence of blood components on biochemical analysis.Methods: Retrospective analysis of series of eight cases. Results: All eight cases had normal haematological parameters and were under emotional stress. Two cases manifested with oral bleed.Conclusions: Hematohidrosis is relatively unknown condition to the otorhinolaryngologists and the cases are occurring sporadically which goes unnoticed. This condition occurs in severe stress which may also lead to ear, nose, oral, gastrointestinal bleeds or in combination from any of the sites with a relation of severity of stress level with quantity and site of the bleeding episodes. The condition can be managed effectively if the condition is recognized after ruling out bleeding diathesis. If awareness is created about this clinical condition which is relatively unknown entity, it will lead to further insight on evaluation and management of this rare entity probably an exocrine disorder.

Abstract:

Background: Rhinoliths are mineralized foreign bodies in the nasal cavity and are diagnosed based on the presenting illness and clinical examination. Giant nasal stones are very rare in occurrence, since improved diagnostic techniques now make it possible to identify foreign bodies at an early stage of disease. The aim of the study was to revisit this rare and forgotten clinical entity with the variations in presentation in the hilly population of uttarakhand and treatment revisited.Methods: We report a case series of 33 patients with rhinoliths who presented to our institute over a period of 10 years, from January 2007 to January 2017. Results: Average age was 25.48 years (range: 5 years to 60 years). 19 were female and 14 male. The incident was reported by a family member/attendant in 12.1% of cases (4 cases), discovered following nasal symptoms in 84.84% (28 cases) and was incidentally discovered in 3.03% (1 case). Symptoms comprised rhinorrhea associated with unpleasant nasal odor in 30.3% of cases (10 cases), epistaxis in 15.1% (5 cases), symptoms of sinusitis in 18.12% (6 cases), ozena in 6% (2 cases)and nasal obstruction in 84.84% (28 cases). There was one case of massive bilateral rhinolith presenting with bilateral symptoms which required an open approach in today’s era whereas all other cases were managed endoscopically. Conclusions: Although rhinoliths are a rare occurrence, attending doctors should be aware of this entity and should have a high index of suspicion in cases with progressive unilateral nasal obstruction, unilateral rhinorrhea, unilateral nasal bleeding. In rare cases, rhinolith should be kept in mind as a differential diagnosis and also in bilateral nasal symptoms also specially if the symptoms are long standing.

Abstract:

Studies of sequelae of isolated medial orbital wall fractures show that the majority of patients with this condition are often asymptomatic, which makes the diagnosis based only on clinical grounds difficult. One of the rare complications of this entity is Pseudo-Duane’s retraction syndrome, which is characterised by horizontal diplopia, restricted abduction with or without limited adduction, accompanied by narrowing of the palpebral fissure, globe retraction and pseudo ptosis on abduction. This is a case report of a 46-year-old female who developed Pseudo-Duane’s retraction syndrome following trauma to her left orbit. She presented with left eye pain, diplopia, horizontal gaze restrictions, left eye ecchymosis and enophthalmos. Careful history taking and thorough ophthalmic examination including forced duction test along with radiological imaging helped clinch this diagnosis. Timely intervention by an endoscopic approach to release the medial rectus muscle entrapped within the fracture resolved the patient’s symptoms.

Abstract:

Schwannoma is a rare neoplasm of nose and PNS which develops from Schwann’s cells of neural sheath and most are benign and encapsulated and amenable to surgical excision. The aim of this write-up is to report a rare case of schwannoma of nose and PNS. We report a case of 40 year old female, a housewife, presented in ENT OPD with complaints of nasal obstruction on right side, post nasal drip and headache. On diagnostic nasal endoscopy, there was a polypoidal mass coming from the middle meatus which was pushing the medial turbinate medially. NCCT and MRI of nose and PNS showed soft tissue density mass involving right ethmoidal air cells, maxillary sinus and bilateral sphenoid sinuses and eroding the lateral wall of right maxillary sinus reaching upto infratemporal fossa, superiorly mass was seen eroding the inferior wall of right orbit. The tumour was removed endoscopically piecemeal and sent for histopathology which showed it to be a schwannoma. The conclusion of the finding was schwannoma involving nasal cavity, maxillary sinus and sphenoid sinus eroded the lateral wall of maxillary sinus going into infratemporal fossa and floor of the orbit. Schwannoma should also be kept as a possibility in the differential diagnosis of tumors of nose and PNS.

Abstract:

Four operations of nominal concretization are crucial for presenting a typology of classifier languages: individualization, classification, relationalization (possession), and referentialization. The first three of these operations are at work in the Hmong classifier system. The development of classifiers is described in connection with the degree of grammaticalization which will be measured by the three parameters of [± exact], [± entity], and cohesion. These parameters will be arranged in a three-dimensional continuum (cf. Fig. II.) which leads to the following evolutional steps of increasing grammaticalization: nouns, class nouns, quantifiers, intrinsic quantifiers (to be defined in the present article), and classifiers.

Abstract:

The automatic extraction of disease named entity is a challenging research problem that has attracted attention from the biomedical text mining community. Handcrafted feature methods were employed for this task given a little success since they are limited by the scope of the expert. Lately, deep learning-based methods have been employed to solve this issue. However, most architectures used for this task take into consideration long dependencies only. The proposed method is a two-stage deep neural network model. We start by discovering local dependencies and creating high-level features from word embedding inputs using a deep convolutional neural network. Then we identify long dependencies using a bi-directional recurrent neural network. To solve the problem of unbalanced dataset given by the BMEWO tagging schema and to enforce sequence modeling, we developed a new POS-based tagging schema that subdivides the dominant class into smaller more balanced units. The proposed system was trained and tested on NCBI and achieved an [Formula: see text]-score of 85.59 outperforming the current state-of-the-art methods. Our research results show the effectiveness of using both long and short dependencies. The results also illustrate the benefits of combining different word embedding techniques and the incorporation of morphological features in this task.

Abstract:

Software change impact analysis (CIA) is a key technique for identifying unpredicted and potential effects caused by changes made to software. Different changes have different ripple effects to other parts in the program, even some changes do not affect other entities in spite of some dependencies existing between these entities and the modified one. This induces imprecision if such a factor is neglected. This article proposes a static CIA technique which considers the impact rules of different change types to predict the change effects. Input of our CIA includes changed classes, class methods and class fields, and the output is composed of potentially affected classes, class methods, and class fields. Precision improvement of the CIA technique relies on three aspects: change types of a modified entity, dependencies between the modified entity and other entities, and a precise initial impact set (IIS), on which the final impact set (FIS) is computed. Experimental case studies demonstrate the effectiveness of our technique, and present its potential applications in software maintenance.

Abstract:

In this work, we formulated the named entity recognition (NER) task as a multi-answer knowledge guided question-answer task (KGQA) and showed that the knowledge guidance helps to achieve state-of-the-art results for 11 of 18 biomedical NER datasets. We prepended five different knowledge contexts—entity types, questions, definitions, and examples—to the input text and trained and tested BERT-based neural models on such input sequences from a combined dataset of the 18 different datasets. This novel formulation of the task (a) improved named entity recognition and illustrated the impact of different knowledge contexts, (b) reduced system confusion by limiting prediction to a single entity-class for each input token (i.e., B , I , O only) compared to multiple entity-classes in traditional NER (i.e., B entity 1, B entity 2, I entity 1, I , O ), (c) made detection of nested entities easier, and (d) enabled the models to jointly learn NER-specific features from a large number of datasets. We performed extensive experiments of this KGQA formulation on the biomedical datasets, and through the experiments, we showed when knowledge improved named entity recognition. We analyzed the effect of the task formulation, the impact of the different knowledge contexts, the multi-task aspect of the generic format, and the generalization ability of KGQA. We also probed the model to better understand the key contributors for these improvements.

Abstract:

In Natural Language Processing (NLP), Named Recognition Entity (NER) is a sub-discussion widely used for research. The NER’s main task is to help identify and detect the entity-named in the sentence, such as personal names, locations, organizations, and many other entities. In this paper, we present a Location NER system for Balinese texts using a rule-based approach. NER in the Balinese document is an essential and challenging task because there is no research on this. The rule-based approach using human-made rules to extract entity name is one of the most famous ways to extract entity names as well as machine learning. The system aims to identify proper names in the corpus and classify them into locations class. Precision, recall, and F-measure used for the evaluation. Our results show that our proposed model is trustworthy enough, having average recall, precision, and f-measure values for the specific location entity, respectively, 0.935, 0.936, and 0.92. These results prove that our system is capable of recognizing named-entities of Balinese texts.

Abstract:

The problem of identifying relevant classes (entities) and associations (relationships) is a fundamental problem for conceptual modeling. In a previous work the authors introduced a conceptual modeling methodology named OMP (Ontology-based Modeling Patterns), which is based on the analysis of class categories representing entity types that are organized in the form of ontology. Since then the authors have explored a way to improve the methodology. As a result, in this paper the authors introduce a new conceptual modeling framework, entitled CAM (Class/Association-analysis-based Modeling), which is based on the analysis and classification of association types as well as entity types. The main objective of CAM is to serve as a tool to facilitate teaching the fundamentals of conceptual modeling to students in a systematic way, by providing extensible and adaptable entity/association classificatory systems that can be directly used in the problem-solving process. In this paper the authors present the CAM framework and illustrate its application.

Zakat is a part of a personal muslim responsibility, it is the third of uarkanul Islam". The development of business entity affects the map, types, and characteristics of business, then affects also the map of zakat dues. During the period of the Prophet Muhammad, the type of business was different from the type of business today. There is no a specific Quranic ayah or hadist determines the company zakat rate. Mostly the rate of zakat based on economic activities rather than on an entity. In that case we have a problem how to calculate a company zakat. This study will discuss how some companies which daim as a syariah companies calculate their entity zakat. This issue becomes more important after the government implement the Zakat Act (UU) No 38/ 1998.Keywords: Islamic Fiqih, Zakat, Islamic accounting, Islamic organaization.

Abstract:

A trace of an entity is a behavior trajectory of the entity. Periodicity is a frequent phenomenon for the traces of an entity. Finding periodic traces for an entity is essential to understanding the entity behaviors. However, mining periodic traces is of complexity procedure, involving the unfixed period of a trace, the existence of multiple periodic traces, the large-scale events of an entity and the complexity of the model to represent all the events. However, the existing methods can’t offer the desirable efficiency for periodic traces mining. In this paper, Firstly, a graph model(an event relationship graph) is adopted to represent all the events about an entity, then a novel and efficient algorithm, TracesMining, is proposed to mine all the periodic traces. In our algorithm, firstly, the cluster analysis method is adopted according to the similarity of the activity attribute of an event and each cluster gets a different label, and secondly a novel method is proposed to mine all the Star patterns from the event relationship graph. Finally, an efficient method is proposed to merge all the Stars to get all the periodic traces. High efficiency is achieved by our algorithm through deviating from the existing edge-by-edge pattern-growth framework and reducing the heavy cost of the calculation of the support of a pattern and avoiding the production of lots of redundant patterns. In addition, our algorithm could mine all the large periodic traces and most small periodic traces. Extensive experimental studies on synthetic data sets demonstrate the effectiveness of our method.

Abstract:

External auditory canal cholesteatoma (EACC) is a rare disease. EACC presents with chronic dull aching pain with normal hearing. It is diagnosed by clinical examination and radiological investigation. Due to its rarity it is important to differentiate it from other external ear conditions. We prospectively analysed four cases of cholesteatoma of the external auditory canal in a period of 18 months. All of our patients underwent surgery. In three cases, the cholesteatoma was restricted to the external auditory canal, while in one case it was extending into the antrum. A proper clinical examination with radiological investigations will be helpful in the diagnosis and for proper management of the disease.

Abstract:

This article tries to explain our rule-based Arabic Named Entity recognition (NER) and classification system. It is based on lists of classified proper names (PN) and particularly on syntactico-semantic patterns resulting in fine classification of Arabic NE. These patterns use syntactico-semantic combination of morpho-syntactic and syntactic entities. It also uses lexical classification of trigger words and NE extensions. These linguistic data are essential not only to name entity extraction but also to the taxonomic classification and to determining the NE frontiers. Our method is also based on the contextualisation and on the notion of NE class attributes and values. Inspired from X-bar theory and immediate constituents, we built a rule-based NER system composed of five levels of syntactico-semantic combination. We also show how the fine NE annotations in our system output (XML database) is exploited in information retrieval and information extraction.

Abstract:

While Southeast Asia revolves around its cities, scholarship spins off into disciplines that ignore this fact. In a region that has known cities for two millennia, where even remote peoples have shaped themselves to or against urban rule, research goes on as if the city were an alien entity, easily factored out and best forgotten. So village studies represent these city-centred nations, and few wonder if the entrepreneurs and middle class who now explain so much might themselves be explained as urban. Our disciplines divide so deeply that no one addresses how the city organizes society and shapes the region.

Abstract:

Background: In developing countries, hearing loss continues to be the major public health problem. Among the various causes of hearing loss, chronic otitis media (COM) is one of the commonest. In COM, the presence of sensorineural hearing loss is well established. Our study intends to determine the prevalence of sensorineural hearing loss in chronic otitis media.Methods: This was a cross sectional descriptive study of 151 subjects between the age group of 10 and 60 years. Patients having unilateral chronic otitis media of both mucosal and squamosal types were selected. All patients were evaluated clinically and audiologically. The type, duration of disease and type of perforation is correlated with degree of sensorineural hearing loss. Interaural differences in bone conduction thresholds at 500 Hz, 1 kHz, 2 kHz and 4 kHz were also noted. Results: A statistically significant correlation was noted between type of disease and perforation with hearing loss. A significant interaural difference was noted across the speech frequencies. Sensorineural hearing loss of 19.1% was seen.Conclusions: Significant sensorineural hearing loss is seen in chronic otitis media which was greater in squamosal disease. Statistically significant correlation was noted between type of disease and type of perforation with hearing loss.

Abstract:

Background. Three hypotheses have been proposed in regard to the origin of cycloid psychoses: (1) they are an independent nosological entity; (2) they are atypical cases of affective disorders; and (3) they are a heterogeneous group of disorders. This study examined the heterogeneity hypothesis by attempting to delineate distinct affective and non-affective subgroups.Methods. In 60 cases drawn from a classic study of cycloid psychoses by Perris (1974), latent class analysis was used to delineate subgroups.Results. Two classes were identified in the analysis: one characterized by the convergence of affective symptoms and family history of affective disorders and the other by the relative paucity of such features.Conclusions. Cycloid psychoses are composed of at least two subgroups, distinguishable on the basis of symptoms and family history.

Abstract:

Median canaliform dystrophy (MCD); first described by Heller in 1928 is characterized by a midline or paramedian split in the nail plate. Mostly idiopathic, some identifiable causes include habitual picking of the nails, oral isotretinoin use and positive family history. The familial occurrence of MCD has rarely been described. Till date, no therapy has proven to be consistently successful in effectively managing the condition. Commonly utilized treatments have been intralesional triamcinolone acetonide injections into the dystrophic nail, topical 0.1% tacrolimus ointment and topical tazarotene 0.05% ointment. Despite available treatment options, the condition has a tendency to recur. Here; we report a case of a 14‑year‑old male presenting with familial MCD affecting multiple finger and toe nails.

Abstract:

AbstractThis paper addresses the use of noun-class markers in Tagbana from the perspective of a cognitively-inspired approach based on Langacker’s (2000. Grammar and conceptualization. Berlin & New York: Mouton de Gruyter) semiological principle. Drawing on this basic tenet of Cognitive Grammar according to which the symbolic function of language consists in making speakers’ conceptualizations auditorily or visually perceptible, it demonstrates that in syntactic constructions composed of ‘noun-stem+noun-class marker’ and ‘noun-class marker+identifier’, noun-class markers fulfil the semantic function of making explicit the way the speaker conceives of the experiential entity referred to in the utterance.This view goes beyond form-centred functions such as referent-tracking to include the signifying of complex conceptualizations involving more than one noun-class marker with the same noun-stem, as well as the discourse functions of indicating topicality, insistence on a referent’s existence and contrastive focus.

Abstract:

The Web has become a huge and indispensable source of information to be used and shared globally, where knowledge is commonly represented and stored in RDF, or alternatively, in conceptual graphs. Managing and searching for web information have gone beyond the relational database model, as the data are semi-structured and inexact answers are often the case. Usually, approximate searching results are due to mismatching between entity types and names in a query and an answer. Firstly, this research work focuses on partial subsumption of a query graph to an answer graph, which is an unsymmetric measure in contrast to similarity. Secondly, it proposes a population-based method for defining subsumption degrees between entity types, one to another, and a class-sensitive soft TF-IDF method for entity names. Lastly, on the one hand, for a user-friendly interface and easily readable query expressions, conceptual graphs are employed at the front-end. On the other hand, in order to take the advantage of the existing platform of SeRQL, an exact RDF query language, the query modification tactic is used to retrieve the knowledge graphs that are close to a query graph, before the subsumption degrees of the query graph to those answer graphs are calculated.

Abstract:

Analysts typically distinguish between equity- and entity-based approaches when employing the free cash flow model to perform equity valuations. However, when multiples are used to perform equity valuations, analysts often neglect to distinguish between equity- and entity-based approaches. In addition, limited empirical evidence exists on the relative valuation performance of equity- and entity-based multiples in developed capital markets and the emerging markets literature is entirely silent in this regard. In this paper the valuation accuracy of equity-based multiples is compared to that of entity-based multiples in valuing the equity of South African companies listed on the JSE Securities Exchange for the period 2001-2010. The research results reveal that equity-based multiples significantly outperform entity-based multiples, indicating a potential increase in valuation accuracy of as much as 15.37%.
