A Multi-Relational Graph Encoder Network for Fine-Grained Prediction of MiRNA-Disease Associations.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are critical in diagnosing and treating various diseases. Automatically demystifying the interdependent relationships between miRNAs and diseases has recently made remarkable progress, but their fine-grained interactive relationships still need to be explored. We propose a multi-relational graph encoder network for fine-grained prediction of miRNA-disease associations (MRFGMDA), which uses practical and current datasets to construct a multi-relational graph encoder network to predict disease-related miRNAs and their specific relationship types (upregulation, downregulation, or dysregulation). We evaluated MRFGMDA and found that it accurately predicted miRNA-disease associations, which could have far-reaching implications for clinical medical analysis, early diagnosis, prevention, and treatment. Case analyses, Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, expression difference analysis, and immune infiltration analysis further demonstrated the effectiveness and feasibility of MRFGMDA in uncovering potential disease-related miRNAs. Overall, our work represents a significant step toward improving the prediction of miRNA-disease associations using a fine-grained approach could lead to more accurate diagnosis and treatment of diseases.

Friendship trajectories and health across the lifespan.

Friends are a vital source of social relations throughout the lifespan and across developmental stages. Our knowledge of how friendships develop over time, especially from childhood through adulthood, is limited. Furthermore, it is now recognized that this specific type of relationship influences health across the life course in unique ways. Using the Convoy Model of Social Relations as a guiding framework, this study charts the multiple and unique trajectories of friendship across adulthood and tests whether these trajectories influence health differentially by age. The sample for the study consisted of 553 adults from the longitudinal Social Relations Study. Respondents ranged in age from 13 to 77 at Wave 1 (1992), and included only those who reported a best friend in each wave, that is, Wave 2 (2005) and Wave 3 (2015). Approximately 65% of the respondents were women, and 24.5% were people of color. Latent growth curve analysis identified three trajectories of the presence of friends in one's network over time, two trajectories of positive friend quality, and three for negative quality. The most consistent findings are associated with positive friend relations over time. Gender was associated with friendship quality where women reported more positive friend relations over time, and increasing positive friend relations predicted better health 23 years later. These findings demonstrate that consistent and increasing positive friendships yield health benefits over time, whereas the presence of friends and negative quality does not have an effect. Overall, findings advance understanding of the long-term effects of social relations across the lifespan and life course. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).

The Evolution of Birth Registration in England and Wales and its Place in Contemporary Law and Society

Birth registration, especially the birth certificate, is consistently framed as something which has always operated to document a person's parents and their (biogenetic) ‘origins’. This framing has become more prominent in recent years with the rise in (often queer) families challenging how law should register their families, often being unsuccessful. Analysing the history of birth registration, though, suggests this framing of birth registration is inaccurate. It is only in recent years that birth registration has supposedly taken on a new (or additional) policy aim of facilitating parent‐child relationships. This policy also arguably facilitates a particular type of relationship and trans‐parent families are focused upon as an example of where such facilitation does not occur. Through documenting the recent resurgence of interest in birth registration, this article aims to clarify the history and purpose(s) of birth registration showing how many assumptions surrounding the function of birth registration are misguided, and to open up discussion as to what its legal purpose(s) should be.

A Novel Bi-Dual Inference Approach for Detecting Six-Element Emotions

In recent years, there has been rapid development in machine learning for solving artificial intelligence tasks in various fields, including translation, speech, and image processing. These AI tasks are often interconnected rather than independent. One specific type of relationship is known as structural duality, which exists between multiple pairs of artificial intelligence tasks. The concept of dual learning has gained significant attention in the fields of machine learning, computer vision, and natural language processing. Dual learning involves using primitive tasks (mapping from domains X to Y) and dual tasks (mapping from domains Y to X) to enhance the performance of both tasks. In this study, we propose a general framework called Bi-Dual Inference by combining the principles of dual inference and dual learning. Our framework generates multiple dual models and a primal model by utilizing two dual tasks: sentiment analysis of input text and sentence generation of sentiment labels. We create these model pairs (primal model f, dual model g) by employing different initialization seeds and data access sequences. Each primal and dual model is considered as a distinct LSTM model. By reasoning about a single task with multiple similar models in the same direction, our framework achieves improved classification results. To validate the effectiveness of our proposed model, we conduct experiments on two datasets, namely NLPCC2013 and NLPCC2014. The results demonstrate that our model outperforms the optimal baseline model in terms of the F1 score, achieving an improvement of approximately 5%. Additionally, we provide parameter values for our proposed model, including model iteration analysis, α parameter analysis, λ parameter analysis, batch size analysis, training sentence length analysis, and hidden layer size setting. These experimental results further confirm the effectiveness of our proposed model.

Право и социоэкосистема малочисленных народов Севера Российской Федерации: теоретико-правовой анализ соотношения социальных явлений

Introduction. Achievements of scientific and technological progress oblige humanity to carefully introduce them into existing socioecosystems, which is especially important in relation to socially vulnerable communities of indigenous small-numbered peoples of the North of Russia. The possibility of their survival is currently an important theoretical problem. Theoretical analysis. The interrelation of social and natural foundations is investigated, the importance of legal anthropology in the preservation of the ecological and social system of the peoples of the North is substantiated. Traditional nature management is considered as a special type of relationship between people and nature, which poses the task of improving regulatory regulation in order to maintain socio-natural unity. Empirical analysis. The author analyzes the gaps and conflicts of legal regulation in the field of preserving the traditional foundations of life, which can lead to the disappearance of the identity of small-numbered peoples and the leveling of their cultures. Results. The introduction of new technologies into the life of the social ecosystems of small nations inevitably leads to a change in life activity, which leads to the transformation of moral values and the emergence of new ideas. In order for the identity of the peoples of the North not to perish, the role of law as an effective protective mechanism must manifest itself. It is noted that it is necessary to conduct a cultural and anthropological examination of normative acts affecting the traditional spheres of relations at both federal and regional levels for their compliance with the spiritual and moral values of the peoples.

Education as a homogenizing engine in indigenous cultures: case study of Aymara children in Northern Chile

Chile is a multi-ethnic Republic; a situation which contradicts itself when one looks at the relationship between the State and its ethnic groups, such as the Aymara in the North. One example of this is the implementation of a state-centric educational model which seems to be homogenizing. Taking a Children’s Geographies approach, the following work will analyze the specific types of relationships in educational institutions located in the Arica & Parinacota Region, between children from Aymara communities, the State, and adults. Through different qualitative investigative techniques, such as content analysis of drawings made by Aymara children, interviews made with teachers, and participant observation at schools, it seemed that the educational process that the Aymara children experience does not take their culture into consideration, which sets them apart from their parents’ and community’s identity. This study also uses the lens of Children’s Geographies to identify some landmarks in their spatial worldview transformation and their spatiality. Taking everything into account, conclusions are stated on how the normative educational model shapes uprooted children.

Investigation of the relationship between the levels of public trust and corruption: A topological model and statistical methods

The article analyzes the concepts of "trust" and "corruption of society" and explores the interdependence between them using the international indexes Edelman Trust Barometer (ETB) and Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI). The research methods are: 1) the topological model proposed by the authors, based on the averaged values of these indices; 2) correlation and regression analysis; 3) interval method (studying the dependence on the selected intervals of the averaged values of ETB and CPI). The topological model uses data on the values of these indices for 28 countries and was developed in two versions for the time periods (2011–2021) and (2013–2019). In both cases, the model gives a similar picture of the points placement on the coordinate plane, which indicates the stability of the results. A comparison of empirical data over the time periods revealed countries with a relatively stable ratio of ETB and CPI indices (Germany, Indonesia, Canada, Colombia, France) and countries where this ratio is noticeably changing (Australia, Argentina, Brazil, Hong Kong, Italy, the Netherlands). The analysis of the topological model was carried out and zones of low, medium and high levels of corruption were identified. Zones are characterized by a specific type of relationship between ETB and CPI indices. The general type of dependence of the level of trust on corruption in the form of a horizontal S-shaped curve is approximately determined. Regression analysis using time series data for 28 countries was performed. Statistically significant linear regression equations (reflecting the relationship between the considered economic categories) were obtained for some countries (the Netherland, Sweden and Japan). The conclusion about the significant nonlinearity of the studied relationship is made. This is evidenced by both the visual analysis of the topological model and the results of regression analysis conducted for the selected intervals of change values of the ETB and CPI indexes.

Romantic relationships and the built environment: a case study of a U.S. college town

ABSTRACT Romantic relationships are a special type of relationship that affect happiness and wellbeing, but little is known about how romantic couples use the built environment to perpetuate their bond. We conducted a survey of 124 geolocated individuals in romantic relationships in State College, Pennsylvania, and used a mixed-method geographic information systems (GIS)/qualitative research framework to show how couples use the built environment. We illustrate their favorite places, the characteristics of these places, and how the town’s amenities and design helps their bond. Our results show that pedestrian and transportation infrastructure and a variety of proximal, affordable activities, (primarily restaurants and nature/outdoor spaces) are important for couples. We also find that on-campus attractions, not just those of the town, play an important role for romantic outings. We use these findings to encourage and recommend infrastructure for supporting romantic relationships in the future.

Social Overload and Discontinuance Intention on Facebook: A Comparative Study

When users begin to feel uncomfortable about the influence of social network services (SNSs) on their lives, they react with various discontinuance behaviors. This comparative study intends to provide a comprehensive explanation of how the fatigue or regret phenomenon is related to users’ diverse reactions against SNSs. This study attempts to answer two questions: (1) How do specific types of relationships influence social overload from SNS interactions on Facebook? and (2) How does social overload threaten the free usage of services and lead to users’ dissatisfaction with SNSs, and how do these constructs influence users’ intent to discontinue usage of SNSs? To this end, we test a reactance model with Facebook users (n = 433) using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). This study found significant results of the reactance mechanism using samples from two countries, Korea and Japan, which support the generalizability of the reactance mechanism in SNS fatigue. The path of the psychological reactance mechanism in SNSs could differ by country. We also found that reactions toward persona non grata in SNSs differed by country. Our findings suggest that the specific cultural context should be considered when analyzing social overload in SNSs. In previous studies, insufficient attention has been paid to the social features or contexts of SNS. This study proposes a new categorization of relationships in the context of SNSs through the persona non grata concept. As SNSs are social platforms, emotions perceived from the social features of SNSs are an important construct that motivates people to continue using SNSs. Therefore, promoting free activities for users can be an important strategy for maintaining their motivation to use the service. It should be noted that the sample used in this study was slightly unbalanced by the inclusion of a greater proportion of young participants.

Accelerators as drivers of coopetition among early-stage startups

Business accelerators are a phenomenon of increasing popularity in practice, but their specific value-added for the participating startups has been understudied thus far. Our study addresses this research gap by investigating how participating in a business accelerator program supports startups to forge relationships with other startups, helping them to overcome their early-stage needs. We use an in-depth exploratory qualitative research approach based on a multiple embedded case study design by studying 23 startups within six accelerators in Germany.We find evidence that startups in accelerators forge specific types of relationships, including both cooperative and competitive elements, characterizing their early-stage needs. They cooperate through joint projects and exchange and compete on the firm level for internal and external resources and on the individual level for reputation, which makes these relationships overall coopetitive. Our findings indicate the importance of accelerators in driving the startups’ relationships, as accelerators trigger “coopetitive” behavior among startups through their available tools, including events, communication and the coworking space.This study contributes to literature on business accelerators and coopetition. Additionally, this study offers implications for startups, accelerators and policy makers.

Blaming friends

The aim of this paper is to shed light on the complex relations between friendship and blame. In the first part, I show that to be friends is to have certain evaluative, emotional and behavioral dispositions toward each other, and distinguish between two kinds of norms of friendship, namely friendship-based obligations and friendship-constituting rules. Friendship-based obligations tag actions of friends as obligatory, permissible or wrong, whereas friendship-constituting rules specify conditions that, if met, make it so that two persons stand in a particular type of relationship defined by various friendship-based obligations. I argue that whereas friendship-based obligations apply to actions under direct voluntary control, friendship-constituting rules apply to emotional and evaluative attitudes. The second part develops an account of friendship blame by comparing Scanlon’s account of blame with Wallace’s Strawsonian account of blame. I demonstrate that Scanlon’s account picks out responses that become appropriate when friends’ attitudes are not in agreement with friendship-constituting rules, whereas Wallace’s account picks out responses that become appropriate when friends violate friendship-based obligations. Arguing that the responses picked out by Scanlon’s account do not amount to blame, I show that, when combined, the views give an illuminating picture of possible reactions to friends who fall short of the standards of friendship.

Formation of the prospective engineer’s moral personality as a problem of modern technical education

The paper substantiates the urgency of the problem of the technical specialists moral personality formation, harmoniously combining production, personal and public interests, and indicates the need to solve the problem of engineering personnels professional training organization, focused on the development of students (prospective engineers) morality. The author has revealed a role of moral values in the moral education of students of a technical university, which contributes to the formation of the moral personality of a future engineer as a person and a professional. The moral values of the Russian engineer, presented in the Codes of Ethics for the Engineer, are indicated. Attention is focused on the relationship between the concept of attitude and the concept of value, in the context of which (interconnection) the choice of moral values is substantiated, familiarization with which allows to educate the prospective engineer as a moral person. The specificity of moral values is revealed as conscious life meanings that determine the attitude of an engineer to technology, to colleagues and to society. Specific moral values that are identified determine a specific type of relationship between an engineer: good, humanism, duty, freedom, honesty (the attitude of an engineer to technology), kindness, mercy, reliability, conscience, fairness (the attitude of an engineer to colleagues), dignity, responsibility, benefit, truth, honor (the attitude of an engineer to society). The ways of introducing a student to moral values in the educational process of a technical university, contributing to the formation of the prospective engineers moral personality, are indicated: the use of the educational potential of educational disciplines; application in the educational process of methods that allow harmoniously to combine the acquisition of professional knowledge by students and their introduction to values; extracurricular work with students; corporate training program (interaction between the university and the enterprise).

The experience of moral interaction of students with other people: a pedagogical aspect

The paper actualizes the problem of a persons formation as a moral person with virtues. The directions of moral education, contributing to the formation of a moral personality, are indicated, and the need to highlight the formation of the experience of moral interaction with other people among university students as an aspect of moral education is argued. It is substantiated that the experience of moral interaction of students with other people is the result of the implementation of a special type of relationship in which moral values are actualized, taking the form of motives of actions and actions of students in relation to other people, which in such an experience reflecting moral practice as a set of real actions of a student, the world of morality and its inherent values is being realized. The methodological grounds for identifying the structure of the experience of moral interaction of students with other people are revealed: scientific provisions on the reflection in the fundamental structure of experience of the fundamental structure of the world; scientific provisions on individual morality, mediating the relationship between external factors that determine the behavior of a person and its internal (social, moral) meaning. The structural components of the experience of moral interaction of students with other people are highlighted: cognitive, motivational-value, communicative and behavioral components and the possibilities of identifying these components are argued. It is substantiated that the allocation of the cognitive component is based on the idea of the correspondence of behavior to knowledge; the allocation of a motivational-value component on the position of the guiding role in human activity of motives, the form of which values take; highlighting the communicative component on the interpretation of communication as one of the types of interaction that has a moral component; the allocation of the behavioral component on the provisions of moral practice.

INFLUENCE OF LABOR LAW DOCTRINE ON DEVELOPMENT OF LABOR LEGISLATION

The article is devoted to the analyses of influence of labor law doctrine on development of labor legislation. It is stated that labor law doctrine is primary source of law in following cases: (a) enshrined in legislation of legal norms; (b) resolving legal cases in practice, particularly in judicial bodies. It is emphasized that the labor law doctrine has been forming and developing during process of analyses of (a) international legal norms and current legislation of the country and foreign countries; (b) domestic court practice and practice of European Court of Human Rights; (c) real relationship in the sphere of labor, which comply with the conditions of social and economic development of the country; (d) obtained in the past knowledge about the nature and regularity of development labor relationship and closely related relationship. It was concluded that the labor law doctrine as sectoral legal doctrine is logical continuation of legal doctrine in the government simultaneously exactly at the level of sectoral doctrine of law, legal ideas of modernity, which has the abstract character in the sphere of socially useful work, acquire the qualitatively new expression with its maximum adaptivity to implementing particular type of relationship in the sphere of labor.

DarkNetExplorer (DNE): Exploring dark multi-layer networks beyond the resolution limit

Timely identification of terrorist networks within civilian populations could assist security and intelligence personnel to disrupt and dismantle potential terrorist activities. Finding “small” and “good” communities in multi-layer terrorist networks, where each layer represents a particular type of relationship between network actors, is a vital step in such disruption efforts. We propose a community detection algorithm that draws on the principles of discrete-time random walks to find such “small” and “good” communities in a multi-layer terrorist network. Our algorithm uses several parallel walkers that take short independent random walks towards hubs on a multi-layer network to capture its structure. We first evaluate the correlation between nodes using the extracted walks. Then, we apply an agglomerative clustering procedure to maximize the asymptotical Surprise, which allows us to go beyond the resolution limit and find small and less sparse communities in multi-layer networks. This process affords us a focused investigation on the more important seeds over random actors within the network. We tested our algorithm on three real-world multi-layer dark networks and compared the results against those found by applying two existing approaches – Louvain and InfoMap – to the same networks. The comparative analysis shows that our algorithm outperforms the existing approaches in differentiating “small” and “good” communities.

INTERDISCIPLINARY APPROACH IN THE STUDY OF COMMUNICATIVE CULTURE IN PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION

It is proved that the main tool of communicative influence is various types of public relations. It is a virtual system of influencing people in order to ensure their social interaction which manifests itself in certain conditions. But since the property of communicativeness in public relations is an absolute reality, it is necessary to look here for precisely those instrumental (managerial) functions by which these connections are maintained and to some extent materialized. It is determined that «public relations» act as its own governing structure, in the form of which are public relations «public relations». Thus, from the point of view of communicative influence, this governing (organized and organizing) structure of public relations comes to the fore in the implementation of strategic and tactical tasks of public authorities. It is proved that such a view is fully consistent with the concepts associated with PR-communication and management as an instrumental unity to maintain mutually beneficial relations between government and civil society. It is analyzed that the administrative and political aspect of management in relation to PR-communications can be assessed both from the standpoint of interests, needs of the authorities, and based on the functional features of PR-technologies. But both variants of approaches do not change the subject of consideration and application of communicative functions. It is the examples that testify to power relations and mechanisms for preserving a certain social climate and mutual understanding through PR. Due to its socio-political and social severity, one of the first places among them by right should probably be «tax reform». It is proved that PR institutionalization in Ukraine, ie the development of a new social communication infrastructure for program purposes, began in the late 80s of the last century with the opening of PR services in government agencies, public and political organizations, and then the creation of the first PR agencies. and professional training. Therefore, it can be argued that in the context of global transformation of all spheres of life of the people and the state, public relations helps our complex and pluralistic society to reach certain decisions and function more effectively, providing the necessary level of understanding between different groups and social institutions. In Europe, the following definitions are used: «PR is a conscious organization of communication. PR is one of the functions of management. The purpose of PR is to achieve mutual understanding and establish a fruitful relationship between the organization and its civil society through two-way communication». It is determined that initially PR was defined as a special type of relationship between the organization and the public, as a type (or function) of management by the organization through communication to establish and maintain mutually beneficial public relations, creating a positive attitude towards the public, public and others. organizations.

Understanding the structures of transnational youth im/mobility: A qualitative network analysis

AbstractSocial network research on migration and mobility suffers from two drawbacks. On the one hand, network studies are often confined to specific types of relationships (e.g. to persons, to organizations) and do not see relationships of different types as part of the same structure. On the other hand, qualitative network approaches are only just beginning to address supradyadic structures. Presenting our study on transnational youth mobility, we show how qualitative network analysis allows researchers to study how mobility is dynamically interrelated to social network structures consisting of different types of relationships. Taking the example of youth mobility in Europe, we apply qualitative structural analysis (QSA) to analyse relationships not only with others but also between others. The article presents a qualitative network approach for migration and mobility research and shows how im/mobility is structured by relationships with and between various entities.

Notas sobre o conceito de afinidades eletivas e sua articulação com processo de racionalização na obra de Max Weber

O presente artigo tem como objetivo apresentar algumas reflexões sobre a concepção de “afinidades eletivas” e quais seu possível papel na sistematização do processo de racionalização na obra de Max Weber. Trata-se de compreender, em que medida o conceito de afinidades eletivas apresentaria possibilidades analíticas para o esclarecimento do tipo particular de relação, entre as orientações de condutas de vida do protestantismo acético e as formas de organização econômica capitalista, que teria caracterizado o tipo especifico de racionalidade no Ocidente. O estudo tem como foco principal os escritos de Weber sobre a sociologia das religiões, em particular na segunda versão da Die protestantische Ethik und der Geist des Kapitalismus (Ética protestante e espírito do capitalismo) – presente em Gesammelte Aufsätze zur Religionssociologie – (Ensaios reunidos de sociologia da religião) e no estudo - Die Wirtschaftsethik der Weltreligionen (Ética Econômica das religiões mundiais).

On the Development of Public-Private Partnership in the Field of Housing and Communal Services

Objective. To study the features of public-private partnership in the field of housing and communal services in order to develop theoretical and practical recommendations for improving the mechanisms of public-private partnership in the field of housing and communal services.Results. Based on the theoretical bases and scientific methods of research, the essence of public-private partnership (hereinafter — PPP) as a special type of relationship between public and private sectors; the practice of application of mechanisms of state-private partnership in the sphere of housing and communal services on the example system of centralized water supply «Ladozhskiy vodovod Vsevolozhskogo munitsipal’nogo rayona Leningradskoy oblasti». Problems were identified and recommendations were made in five main areas related to the development of PPP projects in the field of housing and communal services.Conclusions. First, PPP is a unique type of relationship between the state and business, which allows meeting the needs of both public and private entities. Differences in the composition of obligations and functions, as well as the rights (entitlements) of the subjects of the agreement form different types of forms and mechanisms (types and schemes), as well as a number of models of public-private partnership.Secondly, the popularity of PPPs in a particular country depends on the models of interaction between the state and private investors and on the strictness of legislation.Third, on the example of a real Concession, five universal recommendations (bases) for the development of public-private partnership mechanisms in the sphere of housing and communal services were proposed: organizational component, financial instrument, risks, choice of PPP model and legal framework.
