Abstract:
Social media in medicine, where patients can express their personal treatment experiences by personal computers and mobile devices, usually contains plenty of useful medical information, such as adverse drug reactions (ADRs); mining this useful medical information from social media has attracted more and more attention from researchers. In this study, we propose a deep neural network (called LSTM-CRF) combining long short-term memory (LSTM) neural networks (a type of recurrent neural networks) and conditional random fields (CRFs) to recognize ADR mentions from social media in medicine and investigate the effects of three factors on ADR mention recognition. The three factors are as follows: (1) representation for continuous and discontinuous ADR mentions: two novel representations, that is, “BIOHD” and “Multilabel,” are compared; (2) subject of posts: each post has a subject (i.e., drug here); and (3) external knowledge bases. Experiments conducted on a benchmark corpus, that is, CADEC, show that LSTM-CRF achieves better F-score than CRF; “Multilabel” is better in representing continuous and discontinuous ADR mentions than “BIOHD”; both subjects of comments and external knowledge bases are individually beneficial to ADR mention recognition. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time to investigate deep neural networks to mine continuous and discontinuous ADRs from social media.

Abstract:
This paper presents psycholinguistic evidence on the factors governing the resolution of German personal pronouns. To determine the relative influence of linear order versus grammatical function of potential antecedents, two interpretation-preference tasks were designed. Their specific aim was to disentangle salience factors conflated in previous research on pronoun interpretation, such as linear or-der, first mention and topicalization. Experiment 1 tested pronoun resolution to non-sentence-initial position (scrambling) and Experiment 2 tested pronoun resolution to sentence-initial position (topicalization). The results across different verb types and across different syntactic contexts in Experiments 1 and 2 show that grammatical function, yet neither linear order, first mention nor topicalization predicts pronoun resolution in German.

Abstract:
Abstract Action anthropology came to the fore during the 1950s and 1960s, in part as a critical response to applied anthropology’s colonial and governmental entanglements, seeking to learn from communities by collaboratively pursuing solutions to practical problems. While critical assessments of theory, method, and efficacy abound, the everyday human bonds fostered through these approaches seldom receive mention. This essay focuses on the personal and intellectual relationships Robert K. Thomas and Murray L. Wax formed with Ponca activist Clyde Warrior via the Workshop on American Indian Affairs, Carnegie Corporation Cross-Cultural Education Project, and Kansas Indian Education Research Project during the 1960s. It illuminates some of the interior dimensions of these two expressions of public-facing engaged scholarship.1

Abstract:
Over the past many years, x-ray fluorescence analysis (XRF) has developed into a very mature field. The Plenary Session at this, the 35th Annual Denver Conference on Applications of X-Ray Analysis, deals with an evaluation of developments around the world, as viewed by experts from the three major areas, North America, Europe and the Far East. In this brief report, I would like to convey that which I consider to be the state-of-the-art at the present time, and make some prognostications, which may or may not be dignified as predictions. Many of the specifics that I mention will refer to work in which we, at the Naval Research Laboratory, have been involved. To be fair, I will also deal with some areas in which others have worked. In my mind, the field divides itself naturally into four areas: Sources, Dispersion Devices, Detectors and Data Reduction, I would like to deal with each of these in turn.

In Roe v.

Abstract:
From within the law school, group personal injury litigation may be approached in various ways. Until very recently it was, indeed, ignored as an irrelevant foreign development: not perhaps ‘it could never happen here’, but at least ‘it hasn’t happened here, yet’. Now that it plainly has happened, it is nonetheless possible to ignore it. The question whether the snail in my ginger beer bottle can give rise to an action is not, in principle, affected by what other people found when they opened theirs; if it is said that in practice it cannot but be affected, the retort would be that the law schools need not concern themselves with the sort of practicalities involved. Indeed, group litigation barely rates a mention in most practitioners’ texts either; so many academics feel excused from considering it all, even as a mere footnote to the general run of cases.

Abstract:
AbstractA number of Akkadian šuilla prayers contain a section where the petitioner requests that the high god reconcile the petitioner with his personal gods. The present contribution analyzes these prayers and argues that the aforementioned section is secondary and that many šuillas become more coherent when the theme of reconciliation with the personal gods is removed. The discordance introduced by this theme suggests a large-scale revision of this body of literature, perhaps in the context of use in royal rituals. Appended to the study are lists of šuillas that contain the mention of the anger of the personal god in their request section.

Abstract:
The following is a personal enquiry into how our view of the world may be affected in some very specific ways by the language we speak, and more particularly the way we write, with specific reference to consensus and norms. These musings have arisen over many years of working as a translator, and are based on my interactions as an English speaker with texts in many European, and to a lesser extent, Polynesian languages. The English I speak of here is mainly my English, perhaps my idiolect as a 58-year-old New Zealander. Some of the preferences I mention may be less applicable in British English, for example, but every native speaker's idiolect reflects something of the language as a whole, and I hope my readers will identify linguistically with some of what I am saying. I hope I may be forgiven for writing rather colloquially and in the first person. This choice is entirely consistent with my subject-matter, however, as will become evident.

Bennetts, Christine Mary. "Traditional mentor relationships in the lives of creative people : towards an aesthetic understanding." Thesis, University of Sheffield, 1998. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/10212/.

Full text
Abstract:
Traditional mentor relationships were examined from the perspective of those who work in the creative arts, with a view to establishing the meaning of the relationship and its relevance to human development, psychological well-being, and self-actualisation. The study aimed to examine whether initial research findings in the area of traditional mentoring were transferable (Bennetts, 1994), and sought to produce insight into the metaphysics of the relationship. The term 'mentor' is an honorary title bestowed by a learner. Such relationships form naturally, have a defined pattern and conditions, and promote personal development for both mentor and learner. Thirty five individuals drawn from a variety of creative arts fields were interviewed using a qualitative hermeneutical and heuristic approach. Peak experience and performance are discussed and examined, together with creativity, mental health, and relationship issues. A practical and theoretical interpersonal course for adult learners and derived from initial mentor research, is described and evaluated. Continuing mentor relationships are learner-centred, and are based on trust, respect, and a component encompassing many types of love. If the power within a mentor alliance is abused by the mentor, the mentoring aspect of the relationship ends, although any prior relationship may still continue. Mentor relationships exhibit Rogers' core conditions for learning, and Rogers' conditions for creativity, and this finding both supports and enhances Bennetts' 1994 study. Mentors were shown to promote psychological well-being in childhood, adolescence and adulthood, and also support the self-image, self-esteem and self-worth of the artist. The mentor relationship is described as an art-form, as the mentor utilises an aesthetic communication approach to the artist and the artist's work. Such a description enables the metaphysics of the traditional mentor relationship to be understood in depth. The traditional mentor alliance is viewed as a valid and vital relationship for continuing education and learning.

Blue, Timothy R. "Mentor-Teaching in the English Classroom." Digital Archive @ GSU, 2009. http://digitalarchive.gsu.edu/english_diss/48.

Full text
Abstract:
This dissertation is a rhetorical analysis of the theories and practices surrounding student-centered mentor-teaching. I examine textual representations of the teacher/student relationship as well as theories and practices involved in the discursive formation of teacher/student relationships, examining the intersection (or lack thereof) between the ways we as researchers talk about teacher/student relationship formation and the way(s) such relationships form in the “real world” of the English classroom. This institutional critique of teacher/student relationships draws on the works of ancient rhetorical scholars like Quintillian and Socrates, and on the post-1980 scholarship of Robert Connors, Lad Tobin, bell hooks, Paulo Freire, Parker J. Palmer, Mike Rose, Wendy Bishop, Louise Rosenblatt, Jeffrey Berman, and Peter Elbow. These scholars have all provided helpful models for me as I have framed my own beliefs about the value of expressive writing, the usefulness of writing conferences, the need for teacher vulnerability as a model for students’ expressive writing, the appropriateness of various relational settings beyond the classroom, and the ways grading/responding to student writing can either promote or inhibit a trusting student/teacher bond. While all of these scholars have contributed to my own beliefs and ideas, I am merely identifying and classifying pedagogical movements; rather, I am synthesizing these movements’ theories and practices in order to formulate an overall critique of the strengths and weaknesses of the various approaches. I also draw heavily upon the theoretical underpinnings of psychoanalysis, feminism, reader-response criticism, and composition studies to weave together a synthesized working model of mutually beneficial teacher/student relationships as they pertain to the high school and college English classrooms. Ultimately, I suggest my own contributions to the existing scholarship that will call for a mixture of both bolder pedagogical approaches and greater relational caution, depending upon the concept and the student(s) involved. I conclude with suggestions for utilizing teacher research to formulate new theories and practices for mentor-teaching in the English classroom.

Abstract:
Magister Psychologiae - MPsych<br>Mentoring has gained a great deal of popularity across various professional fields and disciplines over the past few years. More recently, planned mentoring has become an important form of intervention with young people (Philip, 2003). Although mentoring can be an effective strategy for dealing with youth, the mentoring is only as good as the relationship that develops out of the process between mentors and mentees and the match that is made between the two parties. The number of mentor programmes that is running continues to grow yet the quality of these programmes remains unknown as this area lacks agreed upon sets of standards and / bench marks that could be used to determine the effectiveness of these programmes (Sipe, 1988 -1995). The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the mentors' perceptions of the effectiveness of a mentor training programme run by Big Brother Big Sister South Africa.<br>South Africa

Abstract:
This chapter further explores snake symbolism, highlighting also goddesses, Freud’s mother Amalia, and Freud’s brothers and half-brothers. The author considers the ideas of post-Freudian psychoanalytic writers who shed light on these themes, including Eric Erikson, and Freud’s “specimen dream” of “Irma’s Injection” as evoking a vagina. Here, Freud states his rule that every dream has an “unplumbable navel” beyond which the analyst cannot go. The chapter goes on to discuss ideas of Bernard This, John Abbott, and Bruno Bettelheim, with Freud’s early mention of the Loch Ness monster as a likely allusion to Athena with her snakes. Finally, the author takes up Bertram Lewin’s concept of the “dream screen,” as well as the personal universe of Romain Rolland’s oceanic feeling.

Abstract:
Psychosocial Care of Cancer Survivors: A Clinician’s Guide and Workbook for Providing Wholehearted Care is a clinical resource written for healthcare practitioners with the goal of helping them enhance communication with both patients and colleagues. It addresses questions of how to bring a humanistic approach and quality attention to the growing needs of patients in the post-treatment phase of a cancer diagnosis. As a workbook, it is both a guide and an applicable resource for daily clinical practice. It provides a needed structure for clinicians to help them reconnect with the meaningful aspects of their work. Part I focuses on skillful means for providing humanistic, person-centered care. Part II offers clinicians pragmatic structures and methods they can start using with patients right away and provides a humanistic clinical framework that benefits them both personally and professionally: clinical skills vital to forming healing clinical relationships (e.g., the four C’s of communication: communication, curiosity, concern, conversation; communication tools to enhance effective collaboration, such as personal and professional boundaries, the essentials of a healing relationship, stages of the clinical interview, collegial collaboration; exercises designed for personal reflection and the implementation of the clinical skills and communication tools mentioned; and useful practices and solutions to increase the efficacy of and satisfaction with their work.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter explicates the idea of the moral community as the open-ended set of all individuals who can wrong or be wronged by another. Examining these ideas of wronging someone or being wronged by someone as dyadic ideas, intrinsically involving a moral relationship between two persons, the discussion casts this kind of relationship as structuring the moral community. Dyadic norms, which give rise to directed rights and duties, give that structure definite generality and firmness. Distinguishing norms that merely mention another person (“A ought to compensate B”) from truly directed or dyadic norms (“A owes it to B to compensate B”), the text notes the metaphysically demanding sort of ontological correlativity that holds between directed duties and the corresponding rights. This, in turn, sets the stage for an important challenge posed by Michael Thompson—namely, how to explain what unites all persons into one moral community.

Abstract:
The first chapter of the Devīmāhātmya, a collection of myths about the warrior goddess Durgā, mentions a mysterious figure of magic and causal power, the goddess Mahāmāyā who is the personified sleep of Viṣṇu. Though tightly enmeshed with Durgā, Mahāmāyā is charged with a complex symbolism distinguishing her from Durgā. Focusing on Mahāmāyā, this chapter turns from myth to classical Indian philosophy to probe her origin and to trace her further development and exaltation from a metaphysical concept into a deity of worship. It assesses the notion of māyā as magic, illusion and the principle of active material causation in metaphysics preceding the Devīmāhātmya, from which Mahāmāyā as a religious icon drew her varied signification It is particularly within the cosmogonic speculations of Sadyojyotiḥ and Bhaṭṭa Rāmakaṇṭha, early writers of the Śaiva Siddhānta, that Māyā is turned into a central figure in the understanding of how reality is formed.

Abstract:
I Sat down the other night to do something I had not done in a long time: read the United States Constitution. Though a short document, only some twelve or thirteen double-columned pages in most printings, it was writing I had not looked at for over a decade. Yet I am an historian of this country. My excuse is that there is not enough time to read most things even once, and twice or more is out of the question. It is a poor excuse; some things we really ought to read more than once in a lifetime—ought to read every year, like Emily Dickinson’s poetry or Henry Thoreau’s book about that pond in Massachusetts. The Constitution is a piece of writing I would recommend reading no more than once a decade. It hasn’t got much of a plot. The language is clear and easy, but lacks eloquence. Its single great virtue is its plain sensibleness, a virtue that has, with many glaring exceptions, stayed with us and become one of our most attractive national qualities. We like to think we are a level-headed people and that this document epitomizes our level-headedness. In a world that often seems to have gone plumb crazy into one fanaticism or another, the Constitution reassures us with its good sense. We can look back to it with relief that our political system was framed by wise, far-sighted people; and unsure today whether we could improve on their wisdom, we usually leave it alone. Now and then we take the document out and actually read it. There is, however, one glaring omission in the Constitution, so immense and damaging that I believe we ought to try to repair it. Nowhere in all the sections, articles, and amendments is there any mention of the American land and our rights and responsibilities pertaining thereto. I find the word “land” appearing only once, and then it refers to rules governing the capture of prisoners “on Land and Water.”

Abstract:
The Yiguandao is now a large cross-national religious organization with millions of adepts worldwide. The perpetuation of the personal charisma of dead leaders discussed in chapter 3 needs to be backed up—and perhaps gradually or partially replaced—by a charisma of function that increasingly belongs to religious specialists (initiators) at the forefront of the global missionary effort. The movement is progressively structured and routinized with a much more institutionalized leadership. However, routinization and institutionalization remain for the adepts the result of spirit or divine intervention to the extent that it is even possible to mention a routinization of the extraordinary.

Abstract:
The purpose of this chapter is to investigate the current status of online privacy policies of Fortune 100 Companies. It was found that 94% of the surveyed companies have posted an online privacy policy and 82% of them collect personal information from consumers. The majority of the companies only partially follow the four principles (notice, choice, access, and security) of fair information practices. For example, most of the organizations give consumers some notice and choice in term of the collection and use of their personal information. However, organizations fall short in security requirements. Only 19% of organizations mention that they have taken steps to provide security for information both during transmission and after their sites have received the information. The results also reveal that a few organizations have obtained third-party privacy seals including TRUSTe, BBBOnline Privacy, and Safe Harbor.

Abstract:
Affordable travel costs and technological advances in medical procedures have enabled an increased number of patients visiting medical tourist destinations. Distances are not a barrier to treatment anymore. Moreover, medical studies also mention that travelling in itself can be part of the patient's treatment affecting positively on their condition. This study aims at examining the travel motivations and factors of female breast cancer patients and survivors by applying Iso-Ahola's motivation theory. The theory sorted travel motivations in four categories: personal escaping, interpersonal escaping, personal seeking, and interpersonal seeking. Descriptive analysis of the data obtained from the survey showed that patients travel to create share experiences their families, friends, and new people. Travelling also gives them a positive attitude as makes them feel good about themselves and gives them a sense of hope. Travelling is not about avoiding social conflict within their families or communities nor treating themselves alone to not be a burden to their families.

Abstract:
More than half a billion users across the globe have availed themselves of e-dating services. This chapter looks at the marketing and cross-cultural aspects of mate-seeking behavior in e-dating. We content analyzed 238 advertisements from online matrimonial sites in three countries: India (n=79), Hong Kong (n=80), and Australia (n=79). Frequencies of mention of the following ten attribute categories in the advertiser’s self-description were established using post hoc quantitative analysis: love, physical status, educational status, intellectual status, occupational status, entertainment services, money, demographic information, ethnic information, and personality traits. Past research on mate selection using personal ads and the three countries’ positions on Hofstede’s dimensions of culture were used in hypotheses generation. The results support several culture-based differences in people’s self-description in online personal ads; however, some anticipated differences were not realized, suggesting that some cultural differences may not be as strong as Hofstede (2001) suggests.

Abstract:
Abstract Common quibbles in most homes are the temperature setting. Some family members are comfortable with cooler temperature settings, while other family members prefer warmer temperature settings. Not to mention the fragile elderly and some medical situations require different temperature settings for those individuals than the rest of the occupants of the space. The purpose of this article is to outline a research where we created a working prototype of a portable, effective Peltier cooling/heating system. Peltier, or thermoelectric modules, are devices that use the differences in electric voltages to create a difference in temperature between two flat opposite sides of the thin module. The system can easily be switched between the heating and cooling modes. In contrast to compression refrigeration systems it produces a very low level of noise output. Also, the system is portable, small in size, and light weight. Another advantage of using the Peltier system is it does not employ hazardous substances such as hydrochlorofluorocarbons, but uses water. While a system such as this could be beneficial in the day to day comfort of any individual, it could prove vital to the survival of the elderly and medically vulnerable individuals. This heating/cooling system can enhance the performance of military, particularly in biological warfare suites, and law enforcement personnel who find themselves in less than desirable weather conditions. This uniquely designed Peltier system is compact, and lightweight. Cooling/heating through the system would be achieved by the exchange of heat between the user and a custom designed vest. The system is powered by lithium ion battery pack. Details of this unique design are discussed in the article. Also, the testing and results are reported, and discussed.

Abstract:
Abstract While is it an obvious observation that in the 21st century individuals will need to continue to learn to keep pace with the rapid changes that affect their personal and professional lives, the practicalities of doing so are daunting. Where do we begin to instill a sense of self-directed learning that leads to a lifelong pursuit of knowledge and, more importantly, how? The aim of our study was to determine the influence of providing guided support in the use of social media to a group of future EFL teachers in Chile. In this context, where traditional teaching practices and cultural norms, not to mention resistance to technology adoption often stand in the way of learner agency and evolving self-directed learner identities, we focussed on pre-service teachers as a strategic step in changing these trajectories. Our results were encouraging in that for this group of participants there was evidence of change not only in responsibility for learning but in a metacognitive awareness of ‘how’ to learn – key ingredients in reaching personal and professional potential. We conclude that the use of technology needs to be re-conceptualized as not only an information provider but as a key player in constructing self-directed, lifelong learners. Keywords: self-directed learning, social media, lifelong learning, Teacher Education, ICT, learner identities

Abstract:
The purpose of this research is to develop a legal mechanism for ensuring the right to access environmental information to ensure sustainable development of society. In the context of our study we developed an understanding of information human rights - the right to collect, disseminate, use and preserve environmental information is fundamental and natural. We understand information human rights as a group of rights with a center around freedom of information, the right to environmental information, the right to communication in environmental sphere, the right to access to environmental information that is public or socially significant, the right to privacy, and the protection of personal data. In the EU, access to environmental information is regulated by Directive 2003/4/EC (Aarhus Convention, 1998). Citizens of the EU have the right to receive this information within one month from the moment they ask and not to mention why they need it. In addition, public authorities are required to actively disseminate information on environmental information at their disposal. In Ukraine defined system of a jurisdiction whose collection includes different types of environmental information and formation of information on environmental policy. But the issue of public administration in the field of environmental protection is currently split between different executive bodies; there is no united information policy and the body responsible for it. There is no obligation for the authorities to inform the population even in crisis situations. This study will form the legal framework to ensure the right of access to environmental information in Ukraine by introducing the position of Information Commissioner - an official, the competence of which includes monitoring of compliance of information law with information policy in the environmental field.

Abstract:
The airfoil/wing design is probably the most important part of an aircraft design. A practical aerodynamic design of airfoil requires optimal performance on a wide range of operating conditions. These requirements are often found to be conflicting and demand designer expertise for satisfactory results, not to mention the computational burden of the simulations. Although there exists many studies on direct and inverse design of airfoils, less attention has been paid to simultaneous consideration of multiple objectives. In this paper, a multi-objective optimal airfoil design procedure is presented. PARSEC parametrization method has been utilized to express the airfoil geometry in terms of twelve physical parameters. The aerodynamic performance is obtained by 2D panel method using XFOIL package. Multi-Objective Particle Swarm Optimization (MOPSO) algorithm has been applied for airfoil geometry design because it is efficient and keeps the diversity among the solution set. The objective functions and constraints are chosen to enhance the flight performance at takeoff, cruise, and landing conditions for a long range cargo aircraft. Objectives include maximization of lift to drag ratio (CL/CD), maximization of rate of change of lift to attack angle (dCL/dα) for having increased lift at takeoff/landing condition and minimization of pitching moment CM2. Two applied constraints are CL &gt; CLmin at operating condition and thickness ≤ %25. Each evaluation is consist of finding the optimal operating angle of attack and reporting the corresponding objective values. The quality of the solution at various generations has been studied to guarantee the convergence of the solution. Like any other multi-objective optimization problem (MOP), the solution would be a set of Pareto optimal configurations. Although having multiple solutions gives us a better understanding of the problem, only one configuration should be chosen by the designer. A post processing technique is also used to help the decision maker to choose the most appropriate compromise in the solution set. The method is found to be effective in finding efficient set of airfoils. The simulation is also found to be effective because it can be done on a regular personal computer. It should be noticed that the method can be easily applied to other airfoil design applications by simply modifying the objective functions and the constraints.

Abstract:
The Pipeline Integrity Management System (PIMS) of Transportadora de Gas del Peru (TgP) has identified the Weather and Outside Forces such as main threat which increases the risk of the integrity of its pipelines in jungle and mountains areas. In pipelines with particular characteristics such as pipeline which crosses the Andes and the Amazonian jungle, this threat can cause even a greater number of failures than other threats such as Corrosion or Third Party Damage (TPD). Given this situation, the TgP’s PIMS has made a significant development in the use and management of the information provided by different techniques of inspections and monitoring of the pipeline and ROW. Due to the particular conditions of our pipeline system, where the weather and security issues are important restrictions in some locations, makes it impossible to access the right of way in order to get accurate and precise information. Some monitoring depends on people going to the field to collect data (geotechnical surveys, rain monitoring, strain gage measures, inclinometers, etc.). This information is essential to perform the risk analysis in the scope of the PIMS. This paper shows different alternative techniques of monitoring which allow us to estimate the exposure of the pipelines to Geohazards. Among these techniques we have: topographic surveys with laser-detection LIDAR, monitoring of stress and displacement of the soil by fiber optics, UAV’s (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) surveys, acoustic leak detection, Inertial Navigation Tools (in line inspection), etc. It is also important to mention the alternative assessment methodologies in order to determine the pipeline exposure, resistance and mitigation to this threat using geological information and exhaustive desk analysis. It is important to get the more accurate information of the actual state of the pipeline system in order to eliminate most of the “default” values during the risk assessment. By integrating these inspections, monitoring and particular assessments as part of PIMS, we have been able get accurate risk assessments in order to mitigate and/or minimize the occurrence of failures. In this way we are able to optimize efforts to preserve the integrity of our system and in addition minimize personal, environmental and business impact.
