On wavelet transform based convolutional neural network and twin support vector regression for wind power ramp event prediction

Power produced from renewable energy sources carbon negative and promises an increased reliability for grid integration. Wind energy sector globally has an installed capacity of over 650 GW and promises to grow substantially. In this work, wind power ramp events that arise from sudden change in wind power are studied. Forecasting wind power ramp events is an important problem statement in the current wind power industry. Wind power integration to utility grid is impacted by the forecast accuracy. To improve the reliability and security, wind speed and power forecasts are extensively studied. Ramp events are predicted in this manuscript using hybrid techniques employing wavelet decomposition transform in tandem with convolutional neural network and twin support vector machines. Wind speed datasets from Spain, Germany and Argentina are considered and error metrics are computed. It is observed that CNN based method is 28.76% and 26.43% superior from wavelet based random forest and TSVR method.

Writing the Balfour Declaration into the Mandate for Palestine

The Balfour Declaration was an important statement of intent, but it was only one of several wartime statements by British officials about Britain’s future plans for Palestine. It was the inclusion of the declaration in the text of the mandate for Palestine that gave this pledge the status of international law and set off two decades of argument over its fulfilment. This article tracks the process by which the declaration came to be included in the mandate text and, more than four years after its issuance, to finally win approval from the Council of the League of Nations. It argues for the crucial role played by Arthur Balfour himself in securing American consent and in overcoming French and Italian reservations.

The role of mercy and sentencing for infanticide: the tragic case of R v Guode

ABSTRACT The unimaginable circumstances that would drive a woman to kill her child will often justify a more lenient or ‘merciful’ response. However, there is a risk that the use of ‘mercy’ suggests a sentence that is otherwise unjust and has been reduced without reference to sentencing principles. Using the recent high-profile Victorian case of R v Guode, this article examines the notion of mercy in cases of infanticide. It is argued that references to mercy as a sentencing principle should be avoided, and are more appropriately described as mitigating factors justifying a more lenient, but just, punishment. Despite this, sentencing decisions are a form of communication, primarily to the offender, but also to the wider community. In this regard, the use of the word ‘mercy’ may be considered as an important value statement. It is therefore argued that ‘mercy’ should be used, if at all, as a way of communicating the rationale for what might otherwise appear to the public as an unduly lenient sentence for the murder of a child.

VID2META: Complementing Android Programming Screencasts with Code Elements and GUIs

The complexity of software projects and the rapid technological evolution make it such that developers often need additional help and knowledge to tackle their daily tasks. For this purpose, they often refer to online resources, which are easy to access and contain a wealth of information in various formats. Programming screencasts hosted on platforms such as YouTube are one such online resource that has seen a growth in popularity and adoption over the past decade. These screencasts usually have some metadata such as a title, a short description, and a set of tags that should describe what the main concepts captured in the video are. Unfortunately, metadata are often generic and do not contain detailed information about the code showcased in the tutorial, such as the API calls or graphical user interface (GUI) elements employed, which could lead to developers missing useful tutorials. Having a quick overview of the main code elements and GUIs used in a video tutorial can be very helpful for developers looking for code examples involving specific API calls, or looking to design applications with a specific GUI in mind. The aim is to make this information easily available to developers, and propose VID2META, a technique that automatically extracts Java import statements, class names, method information, GUI elements, and GUI screens from videos and makes them available to developers as metadata. VID2META is currently designed to work with Android screencasts. It analyzes video frames using a combination of computer vision, deep learning, optical character recognition, and heuristic-based approaches to identify the needed information in a frame, extract it, and present it to the developer. VID2META has been evaluated in an empirical study on 70 Android programming videos collected from YouTube. The results revealed that VID2META can accurately detect and extract Java and GUI elements from Android programming videos with an average accuracy of 90%.

Men's Depression, Externalizing, and DSM-5-TR: Primary Signs and Symptoms or Co-occurring Symptoms?

Primate Wyszyński’s Message to Students

The subject of the article is the teaching of Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński, the Primate of Poland, addressed to young people, especially students of the Catholic University of Lublin. The analyses are based on the selected texts of speeches (and other documents) that Wyszyński addressed to the community of the Catholic University of Lublin, starting in 1946, when he was appointed bishop of Lublin, and ending in 1980, just before his death. As a result of the philological analysis of Wyszyński’s most important statements, it should be concluded that his message to students is an original pedagogy: full of heart, goodness, kindness and faith in other people. Wyszyński’s attitude is of a concerned and demanding father who really wishes for his “children” (“a tribe of new people”) to get not only a reliable education, but also life wisdom, and strong moral backbone, so that they can serve their neighbours and the homeland. In his teaching, Wyszyński presents a holistic vision of a young person – a student. This vision includes both their education and upbringing – understood as an integral combination of natural values (abilities, talents, qualities of spirit and body) with supernatural values, i.e. self-improvement for the sake of The One who should always be the Way, the Truth and the Life for young people and for all humanity. Wyszyński believed that the diplomas obtained by young people would wisely serve their homeland for a long time. Due to moral relativism, the crisis in the education of children and young people and the abandonment of Christian values, his speeches take on special significance today. Therefore, based on a solid, humanistic foundation, on the lasting categories of truth, good, beauty, solidarity and usefulness, the Primate’s educational message can be of use to the teacher who will effectively reach the hearts and minds of his students. He will equip them with complete knowledge and bring them closer to spiritual values and the Truth.

Prospective comparative analysis for application and selection of FIESTA sequence and SSFSE sequence in MRI for prenatal diagnosis of placenta previa accreta

Placenta previa accreta patients were examined using fast-imaging employing steady-state acquisition (FIESTA) and single-shot fast spin echo (SSFSE) sequence. The diagnostic value of the two sequences was compared. FIESTA was better than the SSFSE sequence in displaying outline-boundary (excellent: 82 vs. 26), signal-to-noise ratio (excellent: 75 vs. 54) for placenta and uterus. The direct signs detection rate in FIESTA was higher than SSFSE (implantable: P = .028, adhesive: P = .131, penetrating type: P = .326). The indirect signs detection rate in FIESTA was lower than SSFSE (low-signal density: P = .029, uneven-signal density: P = .328, thicker and more vascular shadow: P = 398). FIESTA combining SSFSE demonstrated higher detecting rates (100% for sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy) for all types than single sequence scanning (FIESTA/SSFSE). In conclusion, FIESTA clearly showed the situation of the placenta and uterus in placenta previa accreta patients, with excellent image quality. A combination of FIESTA and SSFSE can improve the diagnostic value of placenta previa accreta. Important statement What is already known on this subject? Placenta previa is the most common cause of vaginal bleeding in the third trimester of pregnancy. What do the results of this study add? FIESTA was better than the SSFSE sequence in displaying images and demonstrated higher detection rates for direct signs and lower detection rate comparing the SSFSE sequence. FIESTA combining SSFSE sequence demonstrated higher detecting rates for implantable, adhesive and penetrating types than single sequence scanning. What are the implications of these findings for clinical practice and/or further research? FIESTA sequence clearly showed the situation of placenta and uterus in placenta previa accreta patients, with excellent image quality. Combination of FIESTA and SSFSE sequences can effectively improve the diagnostic value of placenta previa accreta.

Runtime Application Self Protection

This paper explains the fundamental concepts of Runtime Application Self-Protection Technology (RASP), a relatively new security method whose widespread use is envisaged in the near future. The ongoing focal point of this innovation is on Java and.NET stage weaknesses. In addition to typification, the paper discusses RASP's benefits and drawbacks. Despite its undeniable benefits, it is not an independent and comprehensive solution for software security. RASP provides an effective solution to avoid harmful actions when used in conjunction with tried and true traditional methods. In powerful web-based applications, script infusion weaknesses are exceptionally normal. To provide protection against distinct injection types, the necessary conditions for the production and exploitation of script injection vulnerabilities were examined. The statements were located with their types in the HTML statements using a combination of the host language and object language analysis. The information reliance connection subgraph with source and sink focuses was produced in light of the control stream diagram. For this sub-graph, a filter insertion technique is used to define multiple input data type filtering strategies. Then, using data flow analysis and intelligent filtering before important sink statements, a solution was built.

The Relationship between Sociodemographic, Professional, and Incentive Factors and Self-Reported Level of Physical Activity in the Nurse Population: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Research indicates that while nurses are aware of the benefits of physical activity (PA), their adherence to PA is low. The results of workplace interventions that increase PA are inconsistent. The study aim was identification the sociodemographic, professional, and incentive factors influencing nurses’ PA and investigation its relationship with the level of PA that they report. This study was based on observational cross-sectional research conducted among professionally active nurses working in a clinical setting (n = 350). The self-reported questionnaire was used to collect sociodemographic and employment data and motivators and barriers of participating in PA. The level of PA was assessed using International Physical Activity Questionnaire. The analysis revealed significant differences in the Total Physical Activity Score (TPAS) depending on the variables related to professional activity (working in a management position: p = 0.015; workplace: p = 0.01; shift type: p ≤ 0.002). Cluster analysis revealed that the most important statement in the group division about motivation was fear of the pain occurring after exercise. Nurses who were more motivated to be active showed a higher level of leisure-time PA than less motivated nurses. The recommendation of PA in the nursing population should be focused on increasing the leisure time PA, ensuring the appropriate time to recovery, and compliance with the principles of work ergonomics to prevent musculoskeletal disorders.

AL-TAFĀ‘UL AL-IJTIMĀ‘Ī LI AL-ṬĀLIBĀT AL-MUNTAQIBĀT FĪ AL-JĀMI‘ĀT AL-ISLĀMĪYAH AL-ḤUKŪMĪYAH FĪ MUQĀṬA‘AT BENGKULU

This study explores the interaction of veiled students, the perceptions of students and lecturers towards them, and the influence of negative stereotypes that circulate on veiled students. The phenomenological approach used in this research is part of qualitative research. Participants are students from the State Islamic Institute of Curup and State Islamic Institute of Bengkulu. Data are analysed, using semantic reduction carried out by identifying important statements from the results of interviews, determining discussion themes, and describing the importance of the entire experience of veiled female students. The results show that the association of veiled students with students and lecturers at Islamic Higher Education of Bengkulu tends to go well and takes place normally. Students' perceptions of veiled students tend to be negative, considering veiling an excessive attitude in dressing. The effect of negative stereotypes on veiled students is that in general it does not affect the decision to veil among students.

Analysis of cash flow statement with Drägerwerk AG as an example

Usually, the normal development of the enterprise because of the daily business transactions constantly, need to estimate the cash flow of the enterprise, so that the enterprise decision-makers grasp the current development of the enterprise, real-time evaluation of the enterprise, so as to make decisions for the enterprise. According to International Accounting Standard (IAS) 7, the cash flow statement reflects the addition and subtraction of cash flow. The main purpose of cash flow statement is to provide information about the financial situation of an enterprise, including the source and use of funds, for decision makers and investors of an enterprise. Cash flow statement is an important index to measure the sustainable development of enterprises and the main factor to measure the financial strength of enterprises. As an integral part of financial statements, cash flow statement can reflect the net assets of enterprises with fair value, and show the operating results and financial status of enterprises through flow changes. It provides a reference for enterprises to test whether they can fulfill their payment obligations, pay dividends and pay dividends to investors. In this context, cash flow statement plays an increasingly important role in the development of enterprises. In order to make a better economic decision, we must study the cash flow statement in an all-round way. Firstly, it studies what information can be disclosed in the cash flow statement. The second research problem discusses the direct method and indirect method for calculating cash flow. Considering that cash flow statement is an important financial statement of an enterprise, any enterprise needs cash flow statement to help enterprise management and investors make decisions. Therefore, the third problem is the specific calculation of cash flow statement and the matters needing attention in the application process.

The Benefit and Harm of Philosophy

These days, philosophy is seen as an integral part of basic general subjects in any university’s curriculum. Yet, a response to the questions of what the purpose of philosophy is today and what its benefit is as a science, never stops being relevant. The purpose of our study is to explore the specific nature of philosophy as a form of cognition, to show narrowness of the restrictive utilitarian attitude of education that does not give individuals a chance to develop self-cognition and independent free thought. Analysis of various conceptual approaches formed over the history of philosophy lets us consistently justify some important statements. First, studying of philosophy promotes the development of critical thinking that teaches to look at oneself and the circumstances from the outside. Second, philosophy is becoming a method of spiritual transformation and self-cognition for a thinking person that helps ‘not to ignore oneself’ and ‘not to lose oneself. Third, philosophy is an effective remedy against the consciousness industry that brings up uniform standardized thinking and promotes false needs. Finally, free thought, without which the study of philosophy is impossible, helps resist various ideological manipulations and systems of total control over an individual and a daily life. The results of our speculations on the place and objectives of philosophy can be used for teaching humanitarian subjects at a university.

Knowledge and attitudes of lower Michigan primary care physicians towards dietary interventions: A cross-sectional survey

BackgroundDietary interventions are first-line therapies for the prevention and management of many chronic diseases, yet primary care physicians prescribe these interventions infrequently. ObjectivesThis study investigates primary care physicians’ current knowledge and opinions regarding the delivery of dietary interventions. This work aims to identify modifiable barriers to prescribing dietary interventions to prevent and treat diet-related diseases. MethodsWe designed and fielded an anonymous, cross-sectional survey of faculty and resident physicians across the Internal Medicine, Family Medicine, and Pediatrics departments in three academic and community hospitals in lower Michigan. Data were collected between January 15 and April 15, 2019. Self-rated knowledge and attitudes were measured on a 5-point Likert scale. Objective scores were calculated for each question as percentage answered correctly among all respondents. Objective knowledge scores were compared based on participants’ years in practice. ResultsResponse rate was 23% (356 responses). The sample was 62.3% female and 75.3% non-Hispanic White, and 56.7% were age 40 or younger. Average objective knowledge score was 70.3% (±17.2) correct. Mean self-rated knowledge score was 2.51 (±0.96) on a scale of 1(Poor) − 5(Excellent). Overall agreement with a statement of importance of dietary interventions was 3.99 (±0.40) on a scale of 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). A majority (91.7%) of respondents indicated they would like more opportunities to learn about the evidence supporting dietary interventions. ConclusionsPhysicians desire to incorporate dietary interventions into their practice. Findings encourage the development of educational strategies to support dietary intervention use among primary care physicians.

RESILIENCE OF USING CULTURE

This study aims to portray the resilience of Using culture through a phenomenological study of 'street singers' (pengamen) in Banyuwangi. The street singers of Banyuwangi also colore the richness of Using culture and appear to present Using ethnic songs in expressing their artistic activities. The influence of global culture is increasingly difficult to be blocked [1] [2], meanwhile geographically, the location of the cultural existence is precisely at the crossroads of two major cultures, namely Javanese and Balinese cultures [3]. Qualitative research through phenomenological studies was conducted through in-depth interviews with cultural actors (street singers) and the Using supporting community of Banyuwangi. The data is then analyzed through the sequence stages: (1) transcribing the recorded interview results to written form, (2) bracketing (epoche), (3) taking an inventory of important statements (horizonalization), (4) formulating into the meaning (cluster of meaning) and (5) performing the descriptions of the essence. The results of this study cover two important things. First, Using culture can survive because of the aclak (active), bingkak (creative) and ladak (innovative) spirits of Using cultural actors. Second, the acceptance of the Banyuwangi community in general for the artistic expression of Using songs due to the consequences of the defense (uri-uri) spirit of the community. This study concludes that the preservation of Using culture is based on the internal spirit (active, creative, innovative) of cultural actors and external spirit, namely the process of preservation (uri-uri).

Summarizing source code with hierarchical code representation

Code summarization aims to automatically generate natural language descriptions for code, and has become a rapidly expanding research area. Data-driven code summarization models based on neural networks have proliferated in recent few years. Almost all of existing neural models are built upon the granularity of token or AST node. This has several drawbacks: a) Code summarization requires high-level knowledge of code while token representations are limited to provide a global view; b) Such approaches can hardly model the hierarchy of code; c) Long input codes challenge such models to handle long-range dependencies due to the large number of tokens and AST nodes. To address these issues, we propose a novel framework to utilize hierarchical representation of code to generate better summaries. We consider two levels of code hierarchy: token-level and statement-level. Our framework contains a pair of customized encoder-decoder models for tokens and AST of code respectively. Each of them has a hierarchical encoder that aims to extract both token and statement-level code features, and an attentional decoder with the ability to attend to those different levels of representation during decoding. They are then combined to predict summaries via ensemble learning. We conduct extensive experiments to evaluate our models on a large Java corpus. The experimental results show that our approach outperforms several state-of-the-art baselines by a substantial margin. In conclusion, our approach could better learn global information of code and shift attention between important statements during summary generation. With the help of hierarchical attention, the models are able to locate keywords more accurately in a top-down way. Ensemble learning is also proved to be an effective way to benefit from multiple input sources.

N19 Improving the standard of care for patients with IBD - translating the N-ECCO Consensus Statements

Abstract Background In 2018 the Second N-ECCO Consensus Statements were published in JCC and presented at the ECCO Congress. The statements aim to show the ‘ideal’ standard of care for patients with IBD and support IBD nursing practice. The statements comprise several sections: Fundamental IBD Nursing, Advanced IBD Nursing, and The benefit of an IBD Nurse. The Statements are presented in English and are available via the ECCO webpage. In order to raise awareness of the Statements and allow the Statements to be used in IBD nursing practice in Denmark, we aimed to translate the statements and to evaluate how the translated version were used. Methods Translation of statements into Danish by a physician who also is a journalist. Supported by the last author of the Statements (Bager). Distribution of the Statements to the Danish Community of IBD nurses. Open e-survey asking IBD nurses about the Danish version. Results Translation were done in autumn 2020. Promotion and distribution were done in spring 2021. This included 2 video recordings explaining the aim of the statements and how they could be used. Furthermore, the statements became online via our national organisation for IBD-nurses. The survey was launched in autumn 2021. As of November 22th. 2021, 16 nurses from across Denmark have responded. A large majority knew about the Danish version and aimed to use the Statements. However, implementation of the statements was delayed due to the covid-pandemic and a 10 weeks long strike among nurses in the summer of 2021. Furthermore, the responders highlighted the statements of most clinical importance. The top 5 most important statements were; 1) Fundamental IBD Nursing, 2) Impact of IBD on patients’ lives, 3) The Advanced IBD Nurse caring for complex patients, 4) The Advanced IBD Nursing assessment, and 5) Patient information and education. Conclusion Translation of the Second N-ECCO Consensus Statements into Danish was appreciated by IBD nurses in Denmark. A majority aimed to include the statements in the development of IBD nursing in clinical practice.

10 - Commentary: A Comparison of Comparisons

This commentary on the articles collected in this issue confirms that they illustrate effectively the main approaches to historical comparison for Africa in recent centuries. The essay reaffirms A.I. Asiwaju's introductory statement of the crucial importance of comparative work in advancing studies of African history, and amplifies this argument by asserting that comparative and global frameworks each have their place, and that each can be employed as a tactic or strategy in historical analysis. The discussion continues with exploration of three articles that explore the rules for and results of historical comparison; three articles comparing cases that overlap and interact with each other; and three articles comparing discrete cases. The essay concludes by summarizing the ways that the comparisons, in the various studies, have clarified narratives and have documented historical processes. Overall, it appears, the articles are effective in showing how comparisons can advance understanding of what Professor Asiwaju has called 'the history of man in Africa'.

Introduction to Max Weber’s article ‘The “Threatening” of the Reich Constitution’

In May 1904 Max Weber published a short article in the Frankfurter Zeitung. It has gone unnoticed in the extensive Weber literature and it appears here in English translation for the first time. It is an important statement of Weber’s political views after his withdrawal from his active political engagement in the 1890s. He defends the Reich Constitution from attack and a possible coup d’état. He demands that the German Parliament (Reichstag) stand up to autocratic plans, closely linked to Emperor William II, to suppress democracy and voting rights. A constitutional conflict would require not a great statesman but an ‘unscrupulous idiot or a political adventurer’ who would undermine ‘all our institutions and the security of law for many generations’. The article marks the start (earlier than previously assumed in the literature) of Weber’s consistent championing of Parliament and democratic institutions.

A Haitian Revolutionary Manifesto? New Perspectives on the ‘Letter of Jean-François, Biassou, and Belair’

ABSTRACT Some recent historians of the Haitian Revolution have cited a document called ‘The Letter of Jean-François, Biassou and Belair’, as the most important statement of the goals of that movement, whereas other scholars have cast doubt on the Letter’s authenticity. A previously overlooked archival source strengthens the case for the Letter’s authenticity and clarifies the circumstances in which it was composed. A comparison of the Letter with other statements of the Haitian revolutionaries’ goals shows that the Black leaders of the movement responded to changing political circumstances, shifting their language as their assessment of the situation facing them changed.
