Network analysis among World of Warcraft players’ social support variables: A two-way approach

World of Warcraft (WoW) is one of the most popular massively multiplayer online games. Previous studies have found evidence of in-game and offline social support among WoW players; however, the interplay of different types of social support such as informational and emotional support among this cohort has not been examined. This study used a reciprocal social support perspective to explore the system-level relationships among different types of social support in a sample of WoW players (N=181). Using network analysis, two major types of social support, informational and emotional, given and received within WoW and offline systems were included as model indicators. Social support networks of guild and non-guild members were compared. Clear separation was found between offline and in-game social support. Informational support played a key role in all networks but differences in the social support networks were identified between guild and non-guild members. These findings indicate dynamics between different types of social support overlooked in previous studies. By revealing such dynamics, network analysis has been shown as a promising tool for evidencing the subtle dynamics between distinct constructs.

Further Improvement on Two-Way Cooperative Collaborative Filtering Approaches for the Binary Market Basket Data

Two-way cooperative collaborative filtering (CF) has been known to be crucial for binary market basket data. We propose an improved two-way logistic regression approach, a Pearson correlation-based score, a random forests (RF) R-square-based score, an RF Pearson correlation-based score, and a CF scheme based on the RF R-square-based score. The main idea is to utilize as much predictive information as possible within the two-way prediction in order to cope with the cold-start problem. All of the proposed methods work better than the existing two-way cooperative CF approach in terms of the experimental results.

Az ember istenképűsége, mint létanalógia

"The Imago Dei as an Interpretation of the Analogy of Being. Regular theological examination of human nature seems to be the exploding germ of a longer reflection and analysis. My expectations of this study, and hopefully also of the following ones, is that the crisis and uncertainty into which our churches have drifted can (and should) be the subject of theological inquiry. If we keep our study in the right trajectory, then, hopefully, a new light will be shed on the practical aspects of our church life as well. We need to show the world that the God we believe in has remained an active and immanent force in human lives and that there is a reason for a pure, diverse, and substantial unity of the world and existence. This monotheism, however, must be polar, in which the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit have their place as elements of analogy in the interaction of which the beauty and efficiency of service can be renewed and given a new meaning. This analysis implies a simultaneous two-way approach. On the one hand, it should be a God-centred approach that simultaneously embraces the realities of the horizontal world, and, on the other hand, in the vertical-horizontal pattern, it leaves room for a contemporary interpretation of the concept of analogia entis. I am aware that there has been an attempt to do this in the twentieth century. The reference to the dialogue between Karl Barth and Urs von Balthasar could serve as a good example of a fruitful conversation for the benefit of our spiritual and institutional lives. Together with Barth, the other “dialectical” theologian hoped and opened their dialogue in the hope of a “true rebirth of Protestantism”. The dialogues of the last century therefore must be the driving force behind the dialogues of today. Keywords: ecclesiology, relational theology, individuality, contextuality, God’s immanence- transcendence "

Individualismus in der Übersetzung des Titels Things Fall Apart aus dem Deutschen ins Yoruba

Abstract Scholarly studies on the notion of retranslation have focused majorly on the body of texts and not specifically on titles. The issue of retranslation of titles considered in this study assesses the indirect translation of the title of Chinua Achebe’s novel into Yoruba through German. In view of this, the notion of individualism extending from the European literary culture into the African literature through translation is criticized. Based on the intersemiotic approach adopted by the Yoruba translator on the title page and the German translation of the title of the original source text, the study concludes by proposing a two-way approach to the interpretation of the title Things Fall Apart.

Texture Analysis in Brain Tumor MR Imaging.

Texture analysis, as well as its broader category radiomics, describes a variety of techniques for image analysis that quantify the variation in surface intensity or patterns, including some that are imperceptible to the human visual system. Cerebral gliomas have been most rigorously studied in brain tumors using MR-based texture analysis (MRTA) to determine the correlation of various clinical measures with MRTA features. Promising results in cerebral gliomas have been shown in the previous MRTA studies in terms of the correlation with the World Health Organization grades, risk stratification in gliomas, and the differentiation of gliomas from other brain tumors. Multiple MRTA studies in gliomas have repeatedly shown high performance of entropy, a measure of the randomness in image intensity values, of either histogram- or gray-level co-occurrence matrix parameters. Similarly, researchers have applied MRTA to other brain tumors, including meningiomas and pediatric posterior fossa tumors.However, the value of MRTA in the clinical use remains undetermined, probably because previous studies have shown only limited reproducibility of the result in the real world. The low-to-modest generalizability may be attributed to variations in MRTA methods, sampling bias that originates from single-institution studies, and overfitting problems to a limited number of samples.To enhance the reliability and reproducibility of MRTA studies, researchers have realized the importance of standardizing methods in the field of radiomics. Another advancement is the recent development of a comprehensive assessment system to ensure the quality of a radiomics study. These two-way approaches will secure the validity of upcoming MRTA studies. The clinical use of texture analysis in brain MRI will be accelerated by these continuous efforts.

Two-way approach to the maxillary sinus: a novel surgical route to approach to maxillary sinus cysts

<h3></h3> Кисты верхнечелюстной пазухи (ВЧП) составляют около 20% среди всех причин оперативных вмешательств на ВЧП. С учетом патогенеза кист наиболее оптимальным хирургическим доступом при их удалении является формирование операционного окна в нижнем носовом ходе. Возможным решением минимизации размеров антростомы в нижнем носовом ходе без ущерба для визуального контроля является применение комбинированного доступа. <h3>ЦЕЛЬ ИССЛЕДОВАНИЯ</h3> Улучшение результатов эндоназального эндоскопического удаления кист ВЧП. <h3>ПАЦИЕНТЫ И МЕТОДЫ</h3> Обследованы 100 пациентов с ретенционными кистами ВЧП, которые в период с 2015 по 2018 г. находились на хирургическом лечении в клинике оториноларингологии «КОРЛ» (Казань). Всем пациентам было проведено хирургическое удаление кисты при помощи шейвера через доступ в нижнем носовом ходе. В зависимости от применяемой модификации доступа пациенты были разделены на три группы: 1-я — пациенты с формированием постоянной антростомы; 2-я — с формированием временной антростомы; 3-я — прооперированные комбинированным доступом. Эффективность предложенного способа оценивали согласно 3 критериям: отсутствие «слепых» зон во время удаления патологического содержимого пазухи; отсутствие рецидива кисты через полгода после оперативного вмешательства; состояние медиальной стенки ВЧП (по данным КТ и эндоскопического осмотра). <h3>РЕЗУЛЬТАТЫ И ЗАКЛЮЧЕНИЕ</h3> Наилучшие результаты были отмечены у пациентов, прооперированных с помощью комбинированного доступа: антростома в нижнем носовом ходе ввиду малых размеров не нарушала физиологию ВЧП, удаление кисты под полным визуальным контролем снизило риск рецидива в послеоперационном периоде.

Indoor Positioning Method Using WiFi RTT Based on LOS Identification and Range Calibration

WiFi-based indoor positioning methods have attracted extensive attention due to the wide installation of WiFi access points (APs). Recently, the WiFi standard was modified and introduced into a new two-way approach based on round trip time (RTT) measurement, which brings some changes for indoor positioning based on WiFi. In this work, we propose a WiFi RTT positioning method based on line of sight (LOS) identification and range calibration. Given the complexity of the indoor environment, we design a non-line of sight (NLOS) and LOS identification algorithm based on scenario recognition. The positioning scenario is recognized to assist NLOS and LOS distances identification, and gaussian process regression (GPR) is utilized to construct the scenario recognition model. Meanwhile, the calibration model for LOS distance is presented to correct the measuring distance and the scenario information is utilized to constrain the estimated position. When there is a positioning request, the positioning scenario is identified with the scenario recognition model, and LOS measuring distance is obtained based on the recognized scenario. The LOS range measurements are first calibrated and then utilized to estimate the position of the smartphone. Finally, the positioning scenario is used to constrain the estimation location to avoid it beyond the scenario. The experimental results show that the positioning effect of the proposed method is far better than that of the Least Squares (LS) algorithm, achieving a mean error (ME) of 0.862 m and root-mean-square error (RMSE) of 0.989 m.

Automatic classification of healthy and disease conditions from images or digital standard 12-lead electrocardiograms

Standard 12-lead electrocardiography (ECG) is used as the primary clinical tool to diagnose changes in heart function. The value of automated 12-lead ECG diagnostic approaches lies in their ability to screen the general population and to provide a second opinion for doctors. Yet, the clinical utility of automated ECG interpretations remains limited. We introduce a two-way approach to an automated cardiac disease identification system using standard digital or image 12-lead ECG recordings. Two different network architectures, one trained using digital signals (CNN-dig) and one trained using images (CNN-ima), were generated. An open-source dataset of 41,830 classified standard ECG recordings from patients and volunteers was generated. CNN-ima was trained to identify atrial fibrillation (AF) using 12-lead ECG digital signals and images that were also transformed to mimic mobile device camera-acquired ECG plot snapshots. CNN-dig accurately (92.9–100%) identified every possible combination of the eight most-common cardiac conditions. Both CNN-dig and CNN-ima accurately (98%) detected AF from standard 12-lead ECG digital signals and images, respectively. Similar classification accuracy was achieved with images containing smartphone camera acquisition artifacts. Automated detection of cardiac conditions in standard digital or image 12-lead ECG signals is feasible and may improve current diagnostic methods.

Comorbidity Patterns and Its Impact on Health Outcomes: Two-Way Clustering Analysis

Comorbidity greatly increases the complexity of managing disease in patients. Approximately 27 percent of the US population have two or more concurrent comorbid conditions. Traditional models for assessing the impact of patient demographic and comorbidity burden on patient health outcomes, represented comorbidity conditions by Charlson Comorbidity Index. In this paper, we develop a novel two-way clustering approach combining model-based and weighted K-means clustering methods for characterizing and summarizing a patient's comorbid conditions. Our two-way approach helps reduce the size of the data to a manageable size, thus being practical for big data applications. Another novel aspect of our approach is the ability to handle weighted observations. Assigning weights to observations helps reduce the size of the dataset, thus addressing the scalability challenge of algorithms when dealing with big data. Using the National Inpatient Sample database for 2008-2013, we evaluate the performance of our approach by the use of logistic regression and support vector machine models by applying them to patients whose primary diagnosis is cardiovascular disease. In addition to evaluating our proposed method using empirical test data, we use asymptotic statistics. Both evaluation methods show that the proposed approach improves the prediction of patient health outcomes; specifically, hospital length of stay.

The effects of improving low dietary protein utilization on the proteome of lamb tissues

Cistus ladanifer L. is a common shrub endemic to the Mediterranean region with high levels of condensed tannins (CT). CT form complexes with dietary protein resisting microbial degradation in the rumen, which enhances dietary protein utilization in ruminant diets. The objective of this study was to evaluate the utilization of CT in the diet of lambs on the proteomes of muscle, hepatic and adipose tissues.Twenty-four Merino Branco ram lambs were randomly allocated to three treatments (n = 8): C – control (160 g crude protein (CP)) per kg DM, RP – reduced protein (120 g CP/kg DM); and RPCT – reduced protein (120 g CP/kg DM) treated with CT extract. At the end of the trial, lambs were slaughtered and the longissimus lumborum muscle, hepatic and peri-renal adipose tissues sampled. A two-way approach was used for proteomic analysis: 2D-DIGE and nanoLC-MS.In the muscle, C lambs had lower abundance proteins that partake in the glycolysis pathway than the lambs of other treatments. Control lambs had lower abundance of Fe-carrying proteins in the hepatic tissue than RP and RPCT lambs. The latter lambs had highest abundance of hepatic flavin reductase. In the adipose tissue, C lambs had lowest abundance of fatty-acid synthase. Significancesoybean meal is an expensive feedstuff in which intensive animal production systems heavily rely on. It is a source of protein extensively degraded in the rumen, leading to efficiency losses on dietary protein utilization during digestion. Protection of dietary protein from extensive ruminal degradation throughout the use of plants or extracts rich in CT allow an increase in the digestive utilization of feed proteins. In addition to enhance the protein digestive utilization, dietary CT may induce other beneficial effects in ruminants such as the improvement of the antioxidant status.

Coupled fuel performance calculations in VERA and demonstration on Watts Bar unit 1, cycle 1

As the core simulator capabilities in the Virtual Environment for Reactor Applications (VERA) have become more mature and stable, increased attention has been focused on coupling Bison to provide fuel performance simulations. This technique has been a very important driver for the pellet-clad interaction challenge problem being addressed by the Consortium for Advanced Simulation of Light Water Reactors (CASL). In this article, two coupling approaches are demonstrated on quarter core problems based on Watts Bar Nuclear Plant Unit 1, Cycle 1: (1) an inline approach in which a one-way coupling is used between neutronics/thermal hydraulics (through MPACT/CTF) and fuel performance (through Bison) but no fuel temperature information is passed back to MPACT/CTF, and (2) a two-way approach (coupled) in which the fuel temperature is passed from Bison to MPACT/CTF. In both approaches, power and temperature distributions from MPACT/CTF are used to inform the Bison simulations for each rod in the core.The demonstrations presented here are the first integrated fuel performance simulations in VERA, which opens many possibilities for future work, including applications to accident-tolerant fuel efforts and transient simulations, which are of critical importance to CASL. These demonstrations also highlight the potential to move away from the current Bison-informed fuel temperature lookup table approach, which is the default in MPACT/CTF simulations, if performance improvements are made in the near future.

Cloud computing is at present a day's changes into the most crushed in marvels to use for enormous scale alliance or for person who need unmistakable structure organizations with least expense. Usually person's data is dealt with on open Cloud which is accessible to everybody for get to. These focal raises some issue in reverse to adaptable organizations gave by cloud suppliers, similar to Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability, Authorization and some more. Starting late, Lots of decisions are open to guarantee the data and most perfect ways is to use encryption. Encryption can't give enough confirmation while contemplating heaps of customers' fragile data. It in like manner eats up greater chance to perform encryption and translating process for every single inquiry. Moreover it is definitely not an OK practice to contemplate customer driven considering the way that once customer data is moved on Cloud premises, customer doesn't have direct control over this data. To empty load of Cloud server likewise to give acceptable security to customer's data, we propose a methodology by joining the two procedures viz. Jumbling and Encryption in this assessment paper. Customer data may be scrambled if protection is needed for its records or reports and the SaaS Cloud organization is reviewed using obscurity techniques. Using this two-way approach, we may assume that the proposed agreement provides sufficient protections for darkened access and safety of even open data on cloud servers. Our point is additionally to give appropriate assessment on data disordering for security in cloud computing.

Strengths and Opportunities of Network Medicine in Cardiovascular Diseases

Network medicine can advance current medical practice by arising as response to the limitations of a reductionist approach focusing on cardiovascular (CV) diseases as a direct consequence of a single defect. This molecular-bioinformatic approach integrates heterogeneous "omics" data and artificial intelligence to identify a chain of perturbations involving key components of multiple molecular networks that are closely related in the human interactome. The clinical view of the network-based approach is greatly supported by the general law of molecular interconnection governing all biological complex systems. Recent advances in bioinformatics have culminated in numerous quantitative platforms able to identify CV disease modules underlying perturbations of the interactome. This might provide novel insights in CV disease mechanisms as well as putative biomarkers and drug targets. We describe the network-based principles and discuss their application to classifying and treating common CV diseases. We compare the strengths and weaknesses of molecular networks in comparison with the classical current reductionist approach, and remark on the necessity for a two-way approach connecting network medicine with large clinical trials to concretely translate novel insights from bench to bedside.

Ensuring social educational processes does not only represent a trend in terms of the evolution of e-Learning systems, but also one of the main points of interest targeted by the developers of certain social platforms. In fact, raising awareness with respect to the importance of using Social Media tools in education leads to a two-way approach: both by integrating social tools into e-Learning systems and by integrating learning facilities into Social Media platforms. Over time, the social network Facebook has benefited from intense use at global level, including in e-Learning processes. In order to meet the current needs in terms of teaching and learning, Facebook has provided users with built-in opportunities to facilitate social learning processes. However, expanding the Social Learning features integrated in Facebook can be a challenge at present, because of the policies imposed for the social network. The present article outlines a proposed architecture for extending the Social Learning functionalities offered within Facebook Groups by ensuring the correlation with WordPress open-source CMS. Aspects related to how the correlation between the two platforms can be ensured, the necessary tools and the steps involved will be discussed. Also, the main implications and advantages offered by such an architecture and the identified limitations will be highlighted.

Investigating the Effects of Cyber Fraud on Customer Trust for Online Shopping: The Ghanaian Setting

Cyber fraud has become a stumbling block in the development of many countries especially in the developing world as billions of dollars continues to be lost. It’s prevalence in the west African sub-region has stifled the efforts made by governments to bridge the technology gap between nations like Ghana and the west. Online shopping which is a convenient advancement in technology and relatively famous form of transaction in the west requires a considerable level of trust between the customer and the service provider. With the consumer culture theory (CCT) and model of integrative trust as theoretical foundations, this paper adopts a comprehensive two-way generic inductive approach to gather relevant data for analysis to unravel the effects of cyber fraud on the Ghanaian consumers’ trust for online shopping. The methodology encapsulates a systematic and rigorous literature review and documented cases of cyber fraud in Ghana. Results intimated that cyber fraud is a major cause of financial lose in Ghana and has to a large extent affected the Ghanaian consumers’ trust for online shopping and E-transactions in general as only 39% of the populace are revealed to buy online. Poor information technology infrastructure, growth of IT users, and a lack of regulation and training law enforcements were also found to be the underlying causes of why it is challenging to secure information online and hence the lack of trust.

A two-way approach to adapt reduced-scale laboratory experiments and corresponding numerical simulations of offshore seismic surveys in complex marine environments

Recently, laboratory experiments have been reintroduced in the ideas-to-applications pipeline for geophysical issues. Benefiting from recent technological advances, we believe that in the coming years, laboratory experiments can play a major role, in support of field experiments and numerical modeling, to explore some of the current challenges of seismic or acoustic imaging in terms of, for instance, acquisition design or benchmarking of new imaging techniques at a low cost. But having confidence in the quality and the accuracy of the experimental data obtained in a complex configuration that mimics at a reduced scale a real geological environment is an essential prerequisite. This requires a robust framework regardless of the configuration studied. The goal of this work is to provide a global reflection on this framework in the context of offshore seismics. To illustrate this framework, we rely on a reduced-scale model representing a 3-D complex-shaped salt body buried in sedimentary layers with curved surfaces. Zero-offset and offset reflection data are collected on this model in a water tank using a conventional pulse-echo technique. We follow a cross-validation approach that allows, through the comparison between the experimental data and the numerical simulation of wave propagation, to point out both the improvements of the experimental setup that must still be made to increase the accuracy of the experiments and the limitations of the numerical tools that must be tackled.

Two-way coupled simulation of the Francis-99 hydrofoil using model order reduction

The Francis-99 hydrofoil is simulated using a quasi two-way Fluid-Structure Interaction procedure. The structural domain is reduced by the use of modal decomposition, and solved for inside the commercial fluid solver ANSYS CFX. Both the first order Backward Euler and second order Crank-Nicolson time discretization scheme is used in the structural equations, with significantly different results. Several coupled fluid-structure phenomena is observed that would be unobtainable in a normal one-way approach. The most interesting is an “added stiffness” effect, where the eigenfrequency of the foil increases when the flow velocity is increased. This trend corresponds well with available experimental results. The same phenomenon is observed in the hydrodynamic damping on the foil. Self-induced vibration due to vortex shedding is also simulated with good results.The implemented two-way approach allows the different forcing terms to be tracked individually, due to the discretization of the second order structural system. This provides insight into the underlying physics behind the different FSI phenomena seen, and helps us explain why the damping and eigenfrequency characteristics change as the flow velocity passes the lock-in region.
