In-e-qualities, Regulation, Ethics & Records - reflections from a case in Online Trade

In an ethnographic study in online trade at the financial market, different forms of inequalities in client-broker/business relations have been found. It takes expression in for example design of technology, control of and access to information, competence and misuse of trust. Trust is at the center of concern, since that is crucial both to success and a risk for being taken advantage of. This relates to power between actors, responsibilities and accountability. This is where records role as evidence of human acts and conducts have a central role, both in relation to regulation and business ethics. As established structures for ensuring rights and obligations throughout societies are challenged by digitalization and globalization, this has to be recreated in the online context. The article conclude that both regulation and ethics are crucial in forming common values, behaviours and understanding of trust. If not, trust is easily violated which set people in trouble. In order to ensure trust, accountability is an important factor to consider, as well as informal means for ensuring fair behaviours that promotes the building and maintenance of trust among actors. As the technological development challenge processes and means for trust and accountability, new tools ought to be developed. As well as people-related aspects at both personal, business and societal level have to be considered.

Architecture on demand. New scenarios for the design project and the construction industry

The paper examines how the relationship between the project and the matter is changing under the impact of digitalization and the productive and economical emerging paradigms, both in terms of process and product. The evolutionary path of the relationship between industrialization and architecture allow us to draw a picture which, starting from the first experience of standardizing prefabrication, lead to results increasingly oriented towards the personalization of realizations (Industrial Mass Customization). The essay proposes a critical reading of most recent and advanced technological innovations, focusing on the applications of 3d printing additive technology to the architecture and to the new scenarios of research opened for the project and the construction industry.

Computer-aided design of digital plating for acetabular fracture of posterior wall associated with hip dislocation

Objective To evaluate the computer-aided design of digital plating for acetabular fracture of posterior wall associated with hip dislocation. Methods A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the 32 patients who had been admitted for acetabular fracture of posterior wall associated with hip dislocation between June 2012 and August 2016. They were 22 men and 10 women with a mean age of 42.1 years (from 21 to 57 years). They were divided according to the treatment methods into 2 groups: an observational group (n=15) subjected to digital plating and a control group (n=17) subjected to conventional plating. All the patients were treated through the Kocher-Langenbeck approach. For the patients in the observational group, patient-specific digital steel plates were manufactured after simulation of fracture reduction, design of individualized steel plate and simulation of steel plating in the computer software before operation. The 2 groups were compared in terms of operation time, intraoperative bleeding, intraoperative fluoroscopy, hospital stay, fracture reduction and hip joint function at the last follow-up and postoperative complications as well. Results For the observational group, the operation time (73.3±15.2 min) was significantly shorter than that for the control group (93.2±14.7 min), the intraoperative bleeding (254.3±63.1mL) and the intraoperative fluoroscopy (2.4±0.7 times) were significantly less than those for the control group (334.6±70.3 mL; 3.2±0.8 times) (P 0.05). All the patients were followed up for an average of 28.1 months (from 8 to 48 months). There was no significant difference either between the 2 groups in the modified Merle d'Aubigne-Postel scores at the last follow-up (16.4±1.8 versus 15.8±1.6) (P>0.05). There was a significant difference between the observational and control groups in the incidence of heterotopic ossification [6.7% (1/1) versus 17.6% (3/17)] (P<0.05). Conclusions In the treatment of acetabular fracture of posterior wall associated with hip dislocation, computer-aided design of digital plating may have advantages of shorter operation time, less intraoperative blood loss, less intraoperative fluoroscopy and lower incidence of heterotopic ossification.

ONLINE HANDWRITING RECOGNITION SYSTEM FOR ENGLISH LANGUAGE USING SUPPORT VECTOR MACHINE (SVM) APPROACH

The advances in the field of Artificial Intelligence open many gates in the direction of Human Computer Interaction (HCI). Many pattern recognition algorithms have been proposed for the applications where, interaction among machines tries to be simulated as Human-Human Interaction. One of these algorithms is handwriting recognition. The purpose is to convert the handwritten text to equivalent digital representation or simply typed form. Handwriting recognition applications falls in two categories: Online handwriting recognition and Offline handwriting recognition. In case of Offline part, the input has been provided as a scanned image containing handwritten text. But, in case of Online part, the input is provided in the form of digital ink collected with the help of digitizer and digital pen. In this paper, a system is proposed for Online handwriting recognition by considering English language and Roman script. Support Vector Machine (SVM) is used as a classifier. The complete word level classification has been performed and the recognition rate of 98.91% has been observed during experimentation. The technique can further be used for bilingual handwriting recognition systems.

Research progress on early diagnosis of nonunion of long bones

Nonunion showed abnormal manifestations in early healing of bone fracture, which is characterized as repeated pain and radiological evidence including expansion, distraction, atrophy, induration and a visible fracture line of fracture ends. Clinically, orthopedists make a diagnosis based mostly on the healing time and bony healing standard. There is no uniform defini-tion of nonunion. The internationally recognized definition is that fracture which is at least 9 months, and no signs of healing for 3 consecutive months. Given lack of studies for early diagnosis and treatment of nonunion, most nonunion patients who have been confirmed always possess a bad prognosis. Nonunion is classified as six types among which dystrophy nonunion is the most diffi-cult type for early diagnosis based on X-ray. Besides, given its decreased callus formation, it could result in dystrophy nonunion without stress stimulus or turn into hypertrophic nonunion with the stress. Clinical assessment of early nonunion depends on utili-ties of plain radiographs, double energy X-ray, spiral CT, quantitative CT, CT image digital technique, ultrasound, radionuclide bone imaging, MRI as well as other laboratory detection, among which ultrasound and CT image digital technique showed better applications in diagnosis. For the cases of fracture internal fixation, because the fracture ends are blocked by internal fixation, the original data such as CT and MRI are usually needed to be further digitized and then the fracture healing is accurately judged. Practically, combined with the medical history and clinical manifestation, utilities of multiple clinical detection and imaging tech-niques make an effective diagnosis of nonunion, especially in determination of difficult cases.

The Evolution of Federal Regulation of Human Drugs in the United States: An Historical Essay.

Drug development prior to 1800 was based almost completely on observational trial and error. The earliest known exception was a controlled drug trial conducted by James Lind in 1747 on an English ship to show the effectiveness of citrus fruit in the treatment of scurvy. Clinical tests, but not concurrent comparative trials, were conducted by Charles Maitland in 1722 in London to show the effectiveness of variolation in preventing smallpox, and a controlled drug trial was conducted by Edward Jenner in London in 1796 to show the effectiveness of material taken from cowpox sores of young milkmaids (later called smallpox vaccine) in preventing smallpox. In 1775, William Withering learned from an elderly woman herbalist in Shropshire, England about her use of the Foxglove plant (whose active ingredient Withering later determined to be digitalis) in treating heart disease, and in 1785 published the results of his treatment of 158 patients with the drug, but he did not conduct a controlled study.

Ocean -The Biomedical Frontier

In 1928, with the discovery of penicillin in bread mould by Sir Alexander Fleming, a revolution sparked in drug development. Researchers started diligently shifting through soil and plants in search of new weapons to fight disease. In fact, many of today’s pharmaceuticals came from terrestrial sources. Morphine came from opium poppy. Aspirin was found in the bark of a willow tree. Digitalis, a heart medication came from the foxglove plant. Bacteria, fungi and other soil microbes also gave to an army of antibiotics and antifungals used to treat everything from strep throat to pneumonia. With the rise in the number of infectious agents that are resistant to known antibiotics, the scientists have begun to look to the tiniest organisms in the sea as new source of drugs.

Improving Interest and Performance in Organic Chemistry Pedagogy by Incooperating Animations

Chemistry curricula incorporate many abstract concepts that are important but difficult for students to understand. Educational researchers have recently begun to concentrate on the development of a wide variety of visualization tools and novel pedagogies to aid students in science learning at all levels. This study used the Roger Frost organic animation package to ascertain the impact of interactive computer visualization (ICV) in the teaching of organic chemistry at the Nigeria Certificate in Education and Degree levels. It adopted a quasi-experimental research design and used Structured Personal Data Questionnaire (SPDQ) and Semester Result (SR) for data collection. A mobile virtual classroom was created and used throughout the study. The students identified mechanism of reactions, cycloaddition reactions, synthesis of proteins and certain aspects of IUPAC nomenclature as challenging areas in their study of organic chemistry. After the three months teaching period using the organic simulation program, results from evaluating the students showed that interest and confidence in the selection and answering of questions from topics taught using ICV improved, the mean performances of the students almost doubled when ICV was introduced in the teaching program, a mean value of 48.20 out of 60 was obtained which indicated that the animated teaching was effective to a high extent and a general enhancement of the interest of students in the study of organic chemistry. The researchers therefore recommended that teaching of organic chemistry should be enriched with relevant illustrations, organic chemistry text books should be sold with CDs having computer simulations of organic reaction mechanisms for better appreciation. Virtual chemistry room for computer assisted instructions should be included in the design of chemistry laboratory to enhance instructional delivery using the 21st century pedagogy. Computational chemistry should be included in the university chemistry curriculum. Also basic computer knowledge by academic staff should be emphasized to enable them cope with the proposed digitalization of the course.
