Introduction

Introduction Douglas R. Parks This special issue of Anthropological Linguistics contains ten articles on personal names in Native languages of North America. All but one of these articles are revised versions of papers originally presented at the special session "American Indian Personal Names: A Neglected Lexical Genre" at the annual meeting of the Society for the Study of the Indigenous Languages of the Americas (SSILA) in Portland, Oregon, on 7 January 2012.1 There is no modern, comprehensive linguistic description of American Indian naming systems. Published sources of names are primarily lists compiled by anthropologists, linguists, and historians. Even though personal names are an integral part of the languages and cultures of Native peoples, linguists usually do not document names for the languages they study: they do not utilize names as data for their grammars, and they generally do not include names in their dictionaries. The purpose of the special session was to bring together a group of Americanist linguists who have an interest in personal names in the languages they study; contributions were selected to represent the diversity of naming systems found in Native North American language families and to enable the participants to identify major issues in the study of names. The resulting articles describe the salient linguistic and semantic features of the names in these languages, illustrating how names are important semantic and grammatical domains in Native American languages, forming systems within the larger linguistic context, and why their study is essential for language documentation—for morphological and syntactic analysis, and for the compilation of richer dictionaries. They also illustrate how for most North American groups, rich archival corpora of names are available that have rarely been utilized by linguists and exemplify the methods and challenges of studying them. Even though personal names are a relatively neglected subject in North American linguistics and anthropology, significant work has been done over the years; some of the more noteworthy contributions may be mentioned here. The earliest linguist to give notable attention to personal names on the Plains was James Owen Dorsey, who beginning in 1871 devoted more than twenty years to documenting the Dhegiha and other Siouan languages. He recorded hundreds of personal names for each, but he published only one article, "Indian Personal Names" (1890). Although he planned to write a monograph on Siouan personal names, he died before completing it. Today his manuscripts are archived primarily in the National Anthropological Archives. [End Page 1] Other early linguists working on the Plains included C. C. Uhlenbeck; he published "Geslachts- en Persoonsnamen der Peigans" (1912), in which he cites the names of Piegan bands and a representative number of individuals' personal names, and discusses the historical incidents upon which the names were based. Edward Sapir (1924) compiled a list of ninety-four Sarsi names that he published in phonetic transcription, together with literal and free English translations, and then grouped into seven semantic categories: geographical references, tribal names, war names, names referring to horses and riding, names based on incidents or objects, and names referring to personal characteristics. Later in the century, James A. Goss (1973) reported on his attempt to develop a model for the naming practices of the Southern Ute Indians of Colorado that would enable him to predict, on the basis of a set of binary features, the sex, age, kin affiliations, and shamanistic powers from a name itself. Throughout the early twentieth century a small number of linguists and anthropologists who engaged in fieldwork with particular groups recorded lists of names, some of which were published, while others remain unpublished. For example, in the Southwest, the Franciscan Fathers at St. Michael's Mission on the Navajo Reservation documented various aspects of the language. In 1910, they published An Ethnologic Dictionary of the Navaho Language, an innovative linguistic work in which the entries have English head words arranged according to a vast array of cultural topics and activities as well as natural phenomena. Among them is a long entry entitled "Personal Names" that identifies seven categories of names: for boys, for girls, and for women; for men; for distinguished chiefs, treaty signers, and American residents; and tribal names.

Machine learning identifies candidates for drug repurposing in Alzheimer\u2019s disease

Clinical trials of novel therapeutics for Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) have consumed a large amount of time and resources with largely negative results. Repurposing drugs already approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for another indication is a more rapid and less expensive option. We present DRIAD (Drug Repurposing In AD), a machine learning framework that quantifies potential associations between the pathology of AD severity (the Braak stage) and molecular mechanisms as encoded in lists of gene names. DRIAD is applied to lists of genes arising from perturbations in differentiated human neural cell cultures by 80 FDA-approved and clinically tested drugs, producing a ranked list of possible repurposing candidates. Top-scoring drugs are inspected for common trends among their targets. We propose that the DRIAD method can be used to nominate drugs that, after additional validation and identification of relevant pharmacodynamic biomarker(s), could be readily evaluated in a clinical trial.

Monitoring and Tracking Group Traveler Application Using GPS Technology

Tourists who engage in recreational activities in a tourist area often use travel tours. They come to tourism destinations in groups and use travel tour services to lower travel expenses and make travel smoother when they are guided by the tour leader. Tourists sometimes fail to appreciate the environment in the recreation area so they enjoy the beauty of the tourist attractions so that they are far away from the community and want to know the location of the tour group or tour leader again. Travel management also needs to know the status of the tourist community it manages. Besides, travel management needs to know the route followed by the tour leader to ensure that the employees are on the path set by the organization. To help overcome this issue, a mobile and web-based application has been created in this research. Mobile Android-based apps are used by representatives of tourist groups and tour guides at tourist attractions. In the meantime, travel management uses web-based software to track the movements of their tour leaders. This application was built using the Unified Process (UP) software development system, which has four phases, namely inception, planning, construction, and transition. The key facility in this application is to see the list of names of the group members managed by the team leader, to see the location of the members of the tourist group on the google map and to see the route followed by the tourist group. This application is quite helpful for travel management and tour guides in monitoring the movement of the tourist group they handle.

Mitohelper: A mitochondrial reference sequence analysis tool for fish eDNA studies

AbstractFish eDNA metabarcoding is a nonintrusive, time‐ and cost‐effective way to detect biodiversity, with potential applications in ecosystem‐based management and fisheries assessment. Nevertheless, fish‐specific eDNA resources are currently not well‐developed, and many fish species are not yet sequenced in reference databases. We developed Mitohelper, a Python‐based command line tool to annotate and align fish mitochondrial sequences available in the existing MitoFish database. Mitohelper improves MitoFish annotations by adding gene names and additional taxonomic classifications. Using these improved reference datasets, Mitohelper's getrecord function searches MitoFish for available mitochondrial (cytochrome c oxidase, 12S rRNA, and others) gene sequences against a user‐provided list of fish taxonomic names. Mitohelper's getalignment function aligns (often partial) mitochondrial gene sequences to a user‐specified full‐length reference sequence for the assessment and visualization of overlapping sequencing regions. To facilitate the development of taxonomic classifiers, we combined Mitohelper's 12S rRNA dataset with SILVA’s 16S rRNA and 18S rRNA datasets in a QIIME 2‐compatible format. By providing valuable information on taxonomic and gene region coverage of currently available fish mitochondrial data, Mitohelper's functions promote informed experimental design that can guide sequencing and analysis strategies. In summary, Mitohelper improves the breadth and functionality of eDNA data resources, as well as the accuracy of taxonomic classification. Mitohelper and its reference datasets are updated approximately monthly and available at https://github.com/aomlomics/mitohelper.

Examining Front-of-Package Product Names and Ingredient Lists of Infant and Toddler Food Containing Vegetables

ObjectiveTo investigate the alignment between vegetables and fruits listed in the ingredients of commercially produced infant and toddler food (ITF) and inclusion in front-of-package product names. DesignA database of commercial ITF containing vegetables (n = 548) was created. Inclusion of each vegetable or fruit in the product name (yes/no), form (ie, whole/puree, juice/juice concentrate, etc), and ingredient list position (ie, first, second) were recorded. Vegetables were classified per US Department of Agriculture categories; fruits were classified into 2 categories. AnalysisChi-square tests of association tested associations between product name inclusion and (1) vegetable and fruit category, (2) form, and (3) form by category. ResultsAssociations were observed between vegetable and fruit categories and inclusion in product names [χ2 (6, N = 1,462) = 70.3, P < 0.001]. Vegetables in the US Department of Agriculture dark green category were more likely to appear in product names (94%; standardized residual [SR] = 2.1), as were other vegetables (62%; SR = 4.9). Vegetable and fruit forms were associated with inclusion in product name [χ2 (4, N = 1,462) = 206.6, P < 0.001]. Juice/juice concentrates were less likely to be included in names (32.4%; SR = −5.4). Conclusions and ImplicationsSubstantial discrepancies exist between ITF ingredient lists and front-of-package product names. When only front-of-package information informs purchases, caregivers may not be purchasing products that facilitate children's building of vegetable preferences.

Indigenous biosystematics of yams (Dioscorea spp.) in Southwest Ethiopia: folk taxonomy, ethnolinguistic analysis, and folk descriptors

BackgroundIn Southwest Ethiopia, various plant species are coexisting in wild and cultivated forms. This provides an ideal setting for studying folk biosystematics of neglected species. One of such species is the Dioscorea species, in which we studied to assess the commonly applied folk wisdom of identifying, naming, and classifying yams by Sheko and Bench farmers.MethodsThis study was conducted in Bench-Maji and Sheka Zones using 272 farmers. Data on the lists of local names and system of folk taxonomy; the inherent logic, etymons, and consistency of names; and the folk descriptors and other criteria involved in taxonomy were collected. Data were collected by establishing participatory research appraisal tools, i.e., informant interviews and researcher direct observation.ResultsThe result suggests that there exists a well-developed folk taxonomic system in Sheko and Bench. This is evident in the recognition of four distinct folk ranks: sub-variety, variety, supra-variety, and folk generic. Taxa assigned to each ranks have distinct features that mark them as members of a separate categories. Farmers over-differentiate 58 individual taxa at the intraspecific levels. Of these, 37 represented varietal taxa while the rest are sub-varietal taxa. Structurally, over 78% of the varieties are labeled with unitary names while all the sub-varieties consisted of binomial names. Farmers used a total of 26 characters and 74 character states for identifying the different taxa. More than 84% of these refer to aspects of plant characteristics. Tuber characters played a key role in the local identification of varietal and sub-varietal taxa while contexts and gender played a key role in the recognition of supra-variety groups.ConclusionsThis study documented a great wealth of knowledge on indigenous biosystematics of yams, constitutes an essential step towards setting development priorities aimed at in situ conservation. The study clearly demonstrated the value of folk biosystematics for assessing the actual extent and spatial dynamics of yam diversity in traditional farming.

A Long Chain of Hidden Things

A Long Chain of Hidden Things Danielle Evans (bio) When I was growing up, my mother liked to tell people the story of my fifth birthday party. It was both unsettling and triumphant, the kind of story that could be made to sound hilarious even though it wasn’t really. Weeks before the party, after I presented her with a list of names that she had assumed were the other children in my class, my mother had sent me to school with carefully labeled invitations. My November birthday meant I’d had to be specially tested to be allowed even to register for kindergarten, and I remember that process being very formal — we had to go to the office of some kind of certified specialist, and I had to perform a series of tasks while she took notes — but I had subsequently been promoted from kindergarten to first grade in a far less official meeting, held in the principal’s office, where I read aloud all of the material with which I was presented, starting with a Bob’s Big Boy children’s menu. It was dinosaur-themed, and I stumbled over the word pterodactyl, but still, my audition was a success. That September, I had entered first grade a few months before I turned five. When the guests for [End Page 785] my party arrived, and child after child towered over me, my mother was confused. These were not first graders. They were friendly and polite and ate their cake, they collected their goody bags and had a good time, but they were clearly too old to be there. My mother asked some questions. The party guests reported that they were third graders. They’d been invited because I sat at their lunch table every day. I told my mother that I had been sitting with the third graders because there was a boy in my first-grade class, Tony P., who was seven and bigger than the other kids, and he had told everyone Black kids couldn’t sit at our lunch table. The first graders were afraid of him, but no one in the third grade cared about Tony P., and some of them knew me from the bus stop at our apartment complex. Hence, my new friends. Horrified, my mother called the school on Monday. They told her that couldn’t possibly be true, that the cafeteria was monitored, and no one would let a child be bullied away from their own class’s table, nor would a first grader be permitted to sit with third graders every day. On Tuesday, my mother took an early lunch hour and drove in from DC wearing a suit and a string of faux pearls. She walked into the cafeteria at lunchtime and found me, just as we’d all reported, sitting at the third-grade table. After noting this to the teachers and cafeteria staff, she walked me to my own lunch table and sat with me while we ate lunch. She asked some more questions. She made it clear that if anyone gave me a hard time about sitting at the lunch table, she would come every day and eat lunch with us for as long as was necessary. I’m not sure whether this was meant to be a threat — in my recollection, the first graders were mostly enamored with her. In any case, she didn’t have to return. When my mother first started telling this story to people, she got to the part with Tony P. and said, “and this monster was telling my child she couldn’t sit at her own lunch table.” Once, when I [End Page 786] overheard her tell the story that way, I said, “He’s not a monster; he’s just a little boy,” and that became part of my mother’s telling of the story, a coda in which her desire to call him a monster met my own youthful empathy and was gently corrected. It’s possible I meant my interjection exactly the way she heard it, that I meant to provide a moral reframing and remind my mother not to write off a child...

Republican Party Politics and the American South, 1865–1968 by Boris Heersink and Jeffery A. Jenkins

Reviewed by: Republican Party Politics and the American South, 1865–1968 by Boris Heersink and Jeffery A. Jenkins Edward O. Frantz Republican Party Politics and the American South, 1865–1968. By Boris Heersink and Jeffery A. Jenkins. (New York and other cities: Cambridge University Press, 2020. Pp. xvi, 363. Paper, $34.99, ISBN 978-1-316-61092-3; cloth, $99.99, ISBN 978-1-107-15843-6.) An ambitiously conceived project, Republican Party Politics and the American South, 1865–1968 is an attempt by political scientists Boris Heersink and Jeffery A. Jenkins to answer a vexing question. Given that the Republican Party won zero electoral votes in states of the former Confederacy for ten straight presidential elections starting in 1880, the authors ask, why would the Grand Old Party even bother to try? The answer, provided through charts, graphs, and historiographical overviews, is directly linked to race. This provocatively argued book contains a wealth of information that political historians will find quite useful. In attempting to answer their question, Heersink and Jenkins observe one central reason the Republicans kept attempting to field a party in the South: that the states of the former Confederacy played a vital role in quadrennial national conventions. Perceptive candidates recognized that securing the commitment from southern delegations could be key to winning a nomination. William McKinley's campaign manager, Mark Hanna, for instance, even rented a home in Thomasville, Georgia, in 1895 in order to solidify McKinley's southern support for the following year's presidential election. [End Page 532] Whereas some of the terrain regarding presidents and their various southern strategies had been familiar to an earlier generation of historians writing in the 1960s, Heersink and Jenkins's creation of a "Whiteness Index" breaks entirely new ground (p. 41). Synthesizing a variety of data points, the authors demonstrate quite clearly that "a whitening of the party—by moving toward Lily-Whiteism—produced a significant vote gain for the GOP after disfranchisement" (p. 51). Those who hoped to make their party exclusively white found themselves pitted against groups typically labeled "Black-and-Tan," as those versed in the politics of the late nineteenth century will recall (p. xiv). The authors tell the story of the battle for the soul of the party in clinical, practical terms, leaving aside the symbolism and social meanings that many ascribed to political practice. In order to cover their topic with necessary breadth and depth, Heersink and Jenkins divide the book into two discrete parts. After an introduction stating the problem and their methodology and a chapter explaining some preliminaries, the first part is further divided into four stages, each focusing on nationallevel Republican Party politics between 1865 and 1968. This part relies heavily on existing historical interpretations, and the authors do an admirable job of synthesizing much of the extant historiography. The second part, which focuses on state-level politics, groups states into categories based on their degree of racial exclusion. In so doing, the authors hope to demonstrate the myriad paths that southern political actors pursued as they reshaped the Republican Party. For a work so vast in size, scope, and detail, Republican Party Politics and the American South, 1865–1968 is both thorough and at turns surprisingly vague to historians who happen to know the contours of these stories. The list of names, factions, and plots, all of which were filled with intrigue, alleged scandal, and partisan infighting, may overwhelm those not already versed in some of the drama. The authors also miss an opportunity to comment on the symbolism of African American officeholders, thereby robbing their argument of even more strength. Most trenchantly, the move toward Lily-Whiteism often seems both desirable and logical on behalf of southern Republicans. The authors acknowledge that this shift came at the cost of the African American constituents but often choose not to show just how painful and tragic this reality could be. Taken as a whole, Heersink and Jenkins's study is incredibly important. It will help those wishing to understand how and why the Party of Lincoln became the Party of Trump. Edward O.

Персонажи легенд о демоне, вредящем деторождению, в армянской, южнославянской традициях и в авторском тексте А. Ремизова

In the South Slavic Sisinia legend (SL) and in the author’s adaptation of the legend by A. Remizov, Veshtitsa (Veshitsa) acts as a Demon harming women in labor, in Armenian folklore this function is assigned mainly to the demons Al and Tpkha. Gog and Magoga, trying to save the last, seventh, surviving child from the Devil, built ‘a tower of marble, bound it with an iron nail and filled it with tin’. They decided to hide the Qeen in the tower until the child grows up. In connection with this episode, of interest is a belief widespread among many peoples, according to which, in order to protect a woman in labor from the Als, she was surrounded by iron objects during childbirth. For example, the ancient Armenians pinned a pin to the clothes or bed of a woman in labor or a child, hung a sword over the cradle, etc. The texts note the weather conditions – storm, winter, downpour, blizzard, which contribute to letting Sisinia into the house. The connection between bad weather, in particular, storms with demons can be clearly traced in both Armenian and Slavic traditions. The sea is the abode of the devil both in the Armenian and Aramaic and in the Greek traditions: only in Ethiopian texts, instead of the sea, does the garden appear as the habitat and refuge of Verzilla. In East Slavic prayers, shakers come out of the sea, while it rises. Instead of the traditional for the Slavic versions of catching a demon from the sea with the help of a fish-ing rod / net, A. Remizov presented a meeting of a saint and a demoness in the desert, which is more typical of Armenian legends. We have established the similarity of the Thing with the demons Als from the Armenian folklore, which are described as anthropozoomorphic creatures with burning or glass eyes. For a comparative and comparative analysis of the lists of the names of demons, we examined the mythonyms identified in the Slavic (more precisely, in the South Slavic branch of interest to us), Armenian and Remizov’s versions of the texts of the Sisinia legend. The first group – demon mythonyms, consists of the names of demons, witches and sorcerers. The second group is mythonyms derived from words indicating the wrecking of demons (formed mainly from verbs). A special place is given to mythonyms with the meaning of “harming children”. The third group of names indicates the connection between Veshtitsa and atmospheric phenomena. The fourth group – mythonyms, indicating werewolf and the ability of demons to transform. The fifth group is the names of diseases and their symptoms. The sixth group is evaluative names. The list of demon names in the text of A. Remizov consists of thirteen mythonyms, which are more reminiscent of the names of shakers or sinners / sins, and all of them are exclusively feminine.

Identification of toolchains used to build IoT malware with statically linked libraries

Proliferation of IoT devices has caused an increase in malware. Much IoT malware includes static linking of library functions, and their symbols such as function names and addresses are stripped hindering function-level analysis. We previously showed that pattern matching could identify all library functions statically linked to IoT malware for Intel 80386 and all toolchains used to build them, but it remained unclear how our method identified toolchains used to build IoT malware for other architectures. In this paper, we extend our previous method to identify toolchains used to build IoT malware not only for Intel 80386 but for other architectures: ARC, ARM 32-bit, MIPS 32-bit, MIPS 64-bit, mk68k, PowerPC, sh4, SPARC, and x86-64. Evaluation of toolchain identification of 3,991 malware samples showed our method identified all toolchains used to build them. Only 14 toolchains had been used to build the samples, and are all available on the Web. We found 91.4% of samples other than Intel 80386 were built with the toolchain described in the installation guide of Mirai, which was similar to that of Intel 80386. To share the results of this study with the antimalware community, we have published a list of the toolchain names of each sample and the names and addresses of the library functions linked to each sample on GitHub.

Revision of the genus Plexaurella Kölliker, 1865 (Anthozoa: Octocorallia) and resurrection of Plexaurellidae Verrill, 1912 new rank

The current knowledge on the diversity of the genus Plexaurella is based on a series of dated revisions, often with no examination of types. Although being common octocorals in western Atlantic reefs, there is no consensus on an exact number of valid species. Furthermore, phylogenetic reconstructions do not support the current classification of Plexaurella within the family Plexauridae. Thus, this study reviews the genus based on examination of available types and assesses monophyly using mitochondrial (COI+igr, mtMutS) and nuclear (28S) markers, mostly from available molecular data. Until now, up to six species were considered valid. Our results show that the group is composed of at least seven previously described species: P. dichotoma, P. nutans, P. grisea, P. teres, P. grandiflora, P. regia and P. obesa; and one new species: Plexaurella rastrera sp. nov. An illustrated key to the valid species and a list of all available names are provided and the current classification of the genus is discussed. Based on congruent phylogenetic reconstructions and genetic distances, we propose the elevation of the former plexaurid subfamily Plexaurellinae to family level. Finally, based on examination of types, we propose the synonymy between Pseudoplexaura crucis and Plexaurella tenuis under Pseudoplexaura tenuis new comb.

Biodiversity Show and Tell: An Accessible Activity to Encourage Students to Explore the Tree of Life

An appreciation of organismal diversity is a requirement for understanding evolution and ecology, and can serve as a source of amazement and wonder that inspires students to enjoy biology. However, biodiversity can be a challenging subject to teach: it often turns into a procession of facts to memorize and a disorienting list of Latin names. To help engage students in this topic, we developed an activity in which each student contributes to a class &quot;biodiversity tour&quot; of strange and intriguing species. Students in our large-enrollment introductory biology course use the Internet to find a species that interests them and that they think will interest their peers. They research their species and complete a worksheet to report their findings. Then they meet in discussion sections of ~32 students (in person or online) where each student gives a brief presentation about their species using a slide they have prepared, producing a lively, crowd-sourced, rapid-fire nature documentary. The performance for their peers motivates students to find the strangest species possible. Students overwhelmingly reported that this activity taught them something new about life on Earth and increased their interest in our planet&#39;s species. Many students also reported that this activity caused them to talk to someone about biology outside of the class and increased their personal connection to the natural world, suggesting that it helped them see the relevance of biology to their everyday lives. This simple activity can enrich an introductory biology course of almost any size. <em>Primary image:&nbsp;</em>Photos of some of the species chosen by students in Fall 2019.

Pseudomonas Species in Soil as a Natural Resource for Plant Growth Promotion and Biocontrol Characteristics - An Overview

Plant growth-promoting Pseudomonads regulate plant growth by several direct and indirect mechanisms; direct mechanisms include producing phytohormones, increasing nutrient availability and indirect mechanisms include suppressing soil-borne plant pathogens by the production of siderophores, antibiotics, inducing systemic resistance and competing with pathogens. Pseudomonas spp. in soil has been reported from diverse ecological niches and has been well-documented as a model organism for regulating plant growth promotion. These bacteria are endowed with tremendous genetic and metabolic diversity and serve multiple ecological functions in the soil ecosystem. This versatile genus is one of the most commercially exploited bacteria in agriculture. The potential of the different species of Pseudomonas has not been realized sufficiently and requires emphasis on sustainable agriculture for the benefit of humankind. Research in the past decade has revealed that several species of Pseudomonas other than the common species such as P. fluorescens, P. putida, P. aeruginosa, have both plant growth promotion and biocontrol characteristics and have not been commercially exploited. According to the recent List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN) there are 507 species of Pseudomonas and the present literature review brings out that 7.29% of them posses plant growth promotion (PGP) and biocontrol traits and thus can be utilized as biofertilizers in the field of agriculture. The role of different Pseudomonas spp. in the supply of plant nutrients and biocontrol of soilborne plant pathogens are covered in this review.

СОВЕРШЕНСТВОВАНИЕ ТЕХНИЧЕСКОГО СЕРВИСА С ПРИМЕНЕНИЕМ ВИЗУАЛИЗАЦИИ

Recently, many agricultural organizations have been renewing their fleet of agricultural machinery to increase productivity, replacing old equipment with new ones. The operation of new equipment requires an appropriate level of training of tractor drivers and engineers. Information support and appropriate simulators make it possible to solve this problem for the agro-industrial and economic complexes of the country. Information support consists in the timely issuance of reliable information at different stages during the maintenance of agricultural machinery. This direction is relevant, little studied and requires comprehensive theoretical and practical study. The following persons are involved in the process of visual inspection: the PPO manager, the machine operator responsible for the machine or the chief engineer. The process of visual inspection begins in the driver's cab, regardless of the type of self-propelled equipment. During the visual inspection of the equipment, the movement of the PPO manager is carried out counterclockwise, accompanied by the person responsible for the machine. During the visual inspection process, the PPO manager inspects a limited list of part names. Visual inspection involves assessing the condition of parts without the use of profile tools and disassembly of machine systems. Due to the fact that maintenance is performed in this way, time is saved, and the quality of operations will be at a sufficiently high level. To organize maintenance in augmented reality glasses for each item of equipment, if necessary, a separate application is created for the convenience of the machine operator in working with the interface. The developed system helps the machine operator, engineering engineer, as well as the service department, using an interactive application, to quickly find information about the correct connection of electrical equipment, the necessary tire pressure for certain types of work, follow the established sequence and tightening torque of nuts, wheel fastenings and other operations.

The study of archival documents let us restore historical truth and the list of names of all members in the commissions for drafting the Constitutions in both the Soviet period and in sovereign independent Kyrgyzstan.

Implementing Auto Highlight Writer by Predicting the Best and the Worst Players in a Baseball Game

To discover any biases that the sports media have, such as preferring and mentioning certain teams more often impartially, we recorded the statistics of Toronto Blue Jays players, and also collected the news and highlights articles of the team. Because baseball especially regards statistics as significant, the project tried to determine whether the medias’ focus on certain players is related to their performance or their fame and popularity in the first part of the project. The project first created a word cloud based on the keywords from the game highlights articles. In the statistics, we chose the best and worst player of the day for every game solely based on the statistics, and one interesting point we found was that some of the players who were chosen the most as the best player were also chosen often as the worst player depending on the day. We compared the list of names mentioned most often from the news and the ones we chose, and the two had some names in common while there were also questionable names from the news. Then, to develop a machine learning model that will select the player of the game after analyzing the statistics, we used a heatmap to identify the key factors of choosing the best player. According to the heatmap, for a batter, key elements were RBIs and hits, while for a pitcher, it was Innings Played and Runs allowed. We tested multiple machine learning models to see which model had the highest accuracy, and after several trials, a model named Logical Regression appeared to predict the player of the game based on statistics most accurately. Also, a sentence bank was created for the computer program. A sample sentence was provided to the program so that the program can put the statistics of each game in the sentence and write a written summary. With a sentence each for each player, the program could write a summary of every player, and also pick and write who the best and worst players of the game were.
