A syntax-guided multi-task learning approach for Turducken-style code generation
Get PDFDue to the development of pre-trained language models, automated code generation techniques have shown great promise in recent years. However, the generated code will not always adhere to syntactic constraints of the target language, especially in the case of Turducken-style code, where declarative code snippets are embedded within imperative programs. In this study, we summarize three significant challenges in regards to syntactic constraints: (1) the efficient representation of syntactic constraints, (2) the effective integration of syntactic information, and (3) the scalable syntax-first decoding algorithm. To address these challenges, we propose a syntax-guided multi-task learning approach TurduckenGen. Specifically, we first explicitly append the type information to the code tokens to capture the representation of syntactic constraints. Then we formalize code generation with syntactic constraint representation as an auxiliary task to enable the model to learn the syntactic constraints of the code. Finally, the syntactically correct code is selected accurately from the multiple candidates with the help of the compiler feedback. Extensive experiments and comprehensive analysis demonstrate the effectiveness and general applicability of our approach after being compared with six state-of-the-art baselines on two Turducken-style code datasets. Finally, we conducted a human study and found the code quality generated by our approach is better than baselines in terms of code readability and semantic similarity

Importance of occupational support for NHS patients with mental illness
Get PDFBackground: Unemployment is a structural inequality which raises the risk of premature deaths among people with mental illness.
Aims: This study examined whether NHS patients with mental illness get support to find or keep a job because reducing unemployment rates can reduce the risk of premature mortality.
Methods: This study analysed recently released data from 54 NHS trusts which randomly sampled patients for a Care Quality Commission survey. This study assessed 11,001 working-age patients with mental illness, of whom 50% are long-term service users (6+ years).
Results: Perceived access to occupational support was poor with 46% of patients who wanted the support saying that they did not get help finding or returning to work. Perceived occupational support for physical comorbidities needed improvement because 40% of patients with physical comorbidities did not receive support for physical health needs. 25% said that medication side effects were not discussed, and 24% lacked medication follow-up although 87% of patients found medication beneficial to their mental health. Occupational support significantly benefited overall patient satisfaction to an equivalent extent as main treatment (that is, receiving medication and talking therapies), and it was a more consistent predictor of patient satisfaction than talking therapies.
Conclusions: Improved access to schemes which reduce unemployment among NHS patients with mental illness is needed (e.g., individual placement and support programmes), although limited availability might be due to funding constraints. As well as addressing unemployment, occupational support should address other risk factors for premature mortality e.g., poverty, stigma, discrimination, and social exclusion
Brexitland's dark ecologies: new British landscape writing
No full textBook synopsis: Während die künstlerische Praxis paradigmatisch auf Andersheit zielt, stellt sich für die Wissenschaft die Frage nach dem Neuen in der Welt und wie die Gesellschaft damit umgeht. Aktuellen Anlass liefern Bio/Nano-Hybride und Mensch-Kunststoff-Interaktionen, multikulturelle Gesellschaften, städtebauliche Fragmentierung und touristische Inszenierungen, die Vermarktung religiöser Produkte, die Implementierung globaler Bildungsstandards sowie politische Überschreibungen von Territorien. In allen Bereichen geht es um das Überschreiten von Grenzen – zwischen Natur und Technik, dem Eigenen und dem Fremden, aber auch zwischen Medien und Begrifflichkeiten.
Hybridisierung und De-/Re-Lokalisierung bilden den konzeptuellen Rahmen, um den kritischen und kreativen Impakt von Grenzen im Hinblick auf die großen aktuellen Themen Identität, Solidarität, Gerechtigkeit und Teilhabe transdisziplinär zu beforschen. Konzept-Kunst, Literatur, Regie, Filmschnitt und BioArt veranschaulichen die Brisanz solcher Grenzgänge
Selling out for sustainability? Neoliberal governance, agency and professional careers in the sustainable palm oil sector
Get PDFIn response to high-profile activist campaigns raising public awareness of the destructive effects of large-scale oil palm plantations on tropical rainforests, wildlife and local communities, the palm oil sector has put considerable effort and resources into ensuring "sustainable", "deforestation-free" palm oil production (and thereby countering negative publicity) over the last 15 years or so. The corporate sustainability drive – with the palm oil sector significantly leading other tropical commodities – has involved the direct employment of many professionals with backgrounds in conservation, anthropology or activism by the private palm oil sector. Based on long term participant observation as well as interviews with "sustainability professionals" about their career choices, this article shows that there is more nuance, agency and positive change than the existing political ecology literature attributes to the sustainable palm oil drive. It also shows how neoliberal governance structures and individual professional careers and values intersect and mutually reinforce each other. This dual, seemingly paradoxical analysis is informed by and situated in the wider context that the sustainability professionals we interviewed and we ourselves, as academics, share: growing academic precarity, the climate and ecological emergency, and the challenges and questions posed by both
How to sell a remake: The Gate of Flesh media franchise
No full textThis chapter examines the Japanese media franchise of Gate of Flesh (Nikutai no mon) to explore the industrial, textual, and critical contexts that shape the intricate relations among its eight iterations to date. Gate of Flesh stems from Tamura Taijirō’s novel (1947), a controversial representative work of the Literature of the Flesh which celebrated the postwar liberation of bodily desires to nurture a new subjectivity. It is considered, both in popular and scholarly spheres, a fundamental text in the imagination of Occupied Japan (1945-1952). Perceived as ‘unfinished business’ (Braudy 1998: 331), defeated and occupied Japan has repeatedly been re-imagined in conflicting ways across the creative industries. Drawing on Verevis’ approach to analysing remakes (2006) and on recent Japanese scholarship that seeks to build a theoretical framework attuned to the national industries (Nakamura 2016, Kitamura and Shimura 2017), the chapter offers a detailed analysis of the films’ promotional materials and critical reception to reveal how each new iteration was justified or perceived as relevant in economic, cultural, or emotional terms—as Braudy would have it

Individual, family and neighbourhood factors related to life satisfaction and perceived discrimination among low-income, non-immigrant mothers in seven European countries
Get PDFWe examined associations between dimensions of social exclusion
and maternal life satisfaction and maternal perceived discrimination for low-income, non-immigrant mothers of
children at preschool and primary school age in seven European
countries (Czech Republic, England, Germany, Greece, Italy,
Poland, Portugal – N = 1227), using standardized survey data from
a large-scale interview study. Life satisfaction and perceived
discrimination were found to be associated, indicating that both
dimensions are important to consider in relation to subjective
well-being. The results of linear mixed effect regression models
demonstrated that lack of resources in multiple dimensions of
social exclusion were linked to our well-being measures,
including objective life condition variables (material deprivation,
poor neighbourhood quality; both outcomes) as well as more
relational aspects (unemployment, less social support; life
satisfaction) and adult literacy related difficulties (perceived
discrimination). These findings reaffirm the importance of
combatting social exclusion. There are implications for public
policy, emphasizing the importance of joined-up policies that
tackle different forms of exclusion

Understanding Project Resilience: designed, cultivated or emergent?
Get PDFThis paper combines insights from complexity and resilience research with a process view of project organizations to advance our understanding of project resilience. We propose the concept of evolving resilience as the dynamic interaction between perturbations and processes of anticipatory shaping, regular becoming and exceptional organizing in project networks. Adopting a theory elaboration approach, we apply an initial conceptual framework on data regarding four complex projects. This enables us to identify a typology of emergent responsiveness patterns, namely reinforce trajectory, bounce back to trajectory, and jump to alternative trajectory. This typology provides the building blocks for elaborating an integrative process model of evolving project resilience. Results contribute to research on project resilience, and on the complexity of front-end shaping and ongoing organizing processes, and sheds light on the debates surrounding agile methods and allocational versus relational contracts
