Dead Dog Talking : Posthumous, Preposthumous, and Preposterous Canine Narration in Charles Siebert’s Angus

2020

The section focusing on narrating and narrated animals opens with Mikko Keskinen’s chapter, which probes the narrational peculiarities of posthumous tales told by dogs. The primary target of Keskinen’s analysis is Charles Siebert’s novel Angus (2000), a first-person memoir of a dying Jack Russell terrier. The novel presents its canine protagonist Angus as having an outstanding command of the English language, whereby it is no surprise that his lineage turns out to be particularly literary. Yet there are curious idiosyncrasies in his parlance, which appear to suggest a uniquely cynomorphic language and worldview. Since Angus the dog resides on the border zone between human and nonhuman spher…

Oxidative Stress in the Pathogenesis of Aorta Diseases as a Source of Potential Biomarkers and Therapeutic Targets, with a Particular Focus on Ascend…

2022

Aorta diseases, such as ascending aorta aneurysm (AsAA), are complex pathologies, currently defined as inflammatory diseases with a strong genetic susceptibility. They are difficult to manage, being insidious and silent pathologies whose diagnosis is based only on imaging data. No diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers or markers of outcome have been known until now. Thus, their identification is imperative. Certainly, a deep understanding of the mechanisms and pathways involved in their pathogenesis might help in such research. Recently, the key role of oxidative stress (OS) on the pathophysiology of aorta disease has emerged. Here, we describe and discuss these aspects by revealing some OS …

Interactively Learning the Preferences of a Decision Maker in Multi-objective Optimization Utilizing Belief-rules

2020

Many real life problems can be modelled as multiobjective optimization problems. Such problems often consist of multiple conflicting objectives to be optimized simultaneously. Multiple optimal solutions exist to these problems, and a single solution cannot be said to be the best without preferences given by a domain expert. Preferences can be used to find satisfying solutions: optimal solutions, which best match the expert’s preferences. To model the preferences of the expert, and aid him/her in finding satisfying solutions, a novel method is proposed. The method utilizes machine learning combined with belief-rule based systems to adaptively train a belief rule based system to learn a domai…

Mašīnmācīšanās metožu pielietojums pretinieku tendenču noteikšanai

2021

Darbā tiek pētīts, cik veiksmīgi ar mašīnmācīšanās metodēm var noteikt pretinieku tendences no salīdzinoši nelielas datu kopas. Darbā tiek pētīta kāršu spēle pokers. Uzdevums ir noteikt, vai pretiniekiem ir tendence pieņemt kādu lēmumu, pēc kā attiecīgi mēs varam paši mainīt savu stratēģiju atbilstoši noteiktajām tendencēm, tādā veidā iegūstot priekšrocību. Tiek apskatīts kādi spēlētāju tipi eksistē izspēlēs ar dažādiem spēlētāju skaitu izmantojot klasterēšanas algoritmus. Tālāk tiek izstrādāta mākslīgā intelekta pamatklase, kuru var viegli paplašināt tādā veidā definējot spēlētāju, kas spēlē pēc noteikta spēlētāja tipa tendencēm. Visbeidzot tiek novērtētas dažādas metodes un modeļi, kas āt…

Zespół słabości - wytyczne diagnostyki, terapii i prewencji

2017

Frailty syndrome is a state of decreased homeostatic capacity against stress. It is an independent risk factor for subsequent mortality, institutionalization, multimorbidity, falls, incontinence, and immobility. Frailty people have a significantly reduced quality of life, as well as being the largest users of health care services. Proven direct link between the increase in the number of people with the frailty syndrome and rising costs in the health and social care in spite of clearly progressive aging process and potential re�versibility of frailty, justifies the use of targeted interventions aimed at early diagnosis of frailty and to identify risk factors. General practitioners play a key…

Periodontitis and alzheimer´s disease

2020

Background Alzheimer's disease (AD), the main cause of dementia in the adult population, is characterized by a progressive loss of cognitive function. It is considered that neuroinflammation plays a fundamental role in its onset and progression. The bacteria present in the disbiotic microbiome generated during the course of periodontitis (PE) are capable of inducing a systemic inflammatory response, exacerbating the production of proinflammatory mediators that have the potential to spread to the systemic circulation. Material and Methods A literature review was made using the databases Scielo, PubMed, EBSCO and key words "Alzheimer disease", "Periodontitis", "Neurodegeneration", "Inflammati…

Detecting Kernel Vulnerabilities During the Development Phase

2015

Testing is one of the major problems in Linux kernel development cycle. Security analysis and ensuring no new vulnerabilities has been introduced is one of the toughest issues of testing. Kernel developers attempt to find as many security issues as possible before merging with the mainline branch. Failure to detect vulnerabilities will result in vulnerable kernel shipped by distribution and vulnerable systems. The kernel developers can choose between several industrial and open source tools to assist in the development process and shorten the development cycle. (Though not as many as user space developers. Kernel tools are limited and rare compared to user space tools) Some of these tools a…
