A Proposal for WM Interprocess Communication
No full textThis report proposes and explores an interprocess synchronization and communication mechanism compatible with the proposed WM protection mechanism -- which is a "capability" based mechanism[Den66]. Despite the advantages of capabilities, early capability systems, including one by the author [Wul80], failed to have a major impact on practical security primarily because of the overhead of domain switching [Col88]. Thus, before committing to a capability mechanism for WM, we want to be sure that we don't make the same mistake again. Thus, this report explores the mechanism in just enough detail to answer whether or not it is practical. Although our main goal is a mechanism for synchronization and communication among protection domains, if possible we would also like a single mechanism that can be used in the place of conventional interrupts, traps, "supervisor calls", entries to protected subsystems, and simple user-to-user interprocess communication. The mechanism we will explore is much-simplified version of the Ada rendezvous [Ada83] in which the WM hardware performs all of the the necessary housekeeping, but software is still able to specify macroscopic policy decisions. At the outset, we stipulate that what we propose may be "too much to put into hardware". But it may not. Our purpose here is to define the mechanism is sufficient detail to be able to meaningfully ask and answer the question "is a hardware implementation practical and desirable"
Dimensional complexity of the EEG in patients with posttraumatic stress disorder
No full textRecent electrophysiological studies have reported evidence of information processing abnormalities in patients with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The aim of this study is to examine dynamical complexity of the EEG in PTSD patients, which is thought to reflect information processing of the brain. Resting EEG recordings (32 800 data points acquired continuously from 82 s of an EEG record) were obtained in 16 channels of 27 patients with PTSD from a mixed civilian trauma population and 14 healthy subjects. The correlation dimension (D-2) of the EEG was used to quantify the complexity of the cortical dynamics underlying the EEG signal. The PTSD patients were found to have lower D-2 values than those of the healthy subjects in most channels (Fp1, F8, C4, P4, T3, T4, T5, T6, and O1), indicating that PTSD patients have globally reduced complexity in their EEG waveforms. This study supports the hypotheses that PTSD patients exhibit disturbed cortical information processing, and that non-linear dynamical analysis of the EEG can be a tool for detecting changes in neurodynamics of the brain in PTSD.

Tools of using social media in business-to-business marketing and branding
No full textTässä opinnäytetyössä tarjotaan ohjeita yrityksille kuinka he voivat paremmin markkinoida ja brändätä tuotteitansa. Nämä ohjeet koostuvat erilaisten sosiaalisen median alustojen hyödyntämisestä, joista pääasiassa keskitytään Instagramin ja YouTuben hyödyntämiseen toimeksiantajan pyynnöstä.
Tämä opinnäytetyö on tehty WM-Plast Oy:n pyynnöstä ja heidän omistamaa Evermatic -tuotelinjaa ajatellen. WM-Plast Oy on suomalainen yritys, jonka päätoimipiste sijaitsee Suomessa Kankaanpäässä. Tämä työ tehtiin osana oppilasprojektia jossa yritykselle toteutettiin markkinatutkimus vuoden 2019 aikana. Yhtenä markkinatutkimuksen loppupäätelmistä todettiin yrityksen huono näkyvyys sosiaalisen median kanavissa ja yritys ilmaisi halunsa kehittää tätä opinnäytetyön avulla. Tämän työn tarkoitus on siis ohjata WM-Plast tuottamaan parempaa mainontaa tuotteilleen. Tutkimalla näitä markkinointimetodeja, pyritään tarjoamaan tietoa siitä minkälaisia mahdollisuuksia nämä alustat tarjoavat, mitä eri vaihtoehtoja WM-Plast voi hyödyntää harjoittaessaan online-markkinointia, ja mitä tämä voisi tuottaa yritykselle tulevaisuudessa.
Tämän tutkimuksen metodina käytettiin määrällistä tutkimusta. Työ on rakennettu niin että ensimmäiset kappaleet käyvät läpi markkinointi- ja brändäysmahdollisuuksia näiltä sivustoilta. Tämän lisäksi kirjoittaja käy läpi terminologiaa ja eri tavoitteita yrityksen näkökulmasta. Lopuksi tutkimuksen jälkeen kirjoittaja tarjoaa ehdotuksia, kuinka näitä asioita pystyttäisiin hyödyntämään yrityksen nykyisen markkinoinnin osana tai lisänä.In this bachelor thesis, the author will provide an outline for companies on how they can utilize different tools in their efforts when marketing and branding their products in social media. These tools consist of different kinds of social platforms, and the main focus will be set on Instagram and Youtube as requested by the commissioning Company.
The thesis is done based on the request of WM-Plast and their Evermatic line of products. WM-Plast oy is a Finnish company based in Kankaanpää, Finland. The author was part of a project where a group of students provided market research for the commissioning company during the year 2019, and as one of the results from the project noticed that there was a need for the company to improve appearance on social media to provide better promotion for their products. By researching these different marketing methods, the author aims to offer insight on what these kinds of channels are capable of, what different options the company has when applying online marketing, and what this could generate for the commissioning company.
The methodology of this thesis is to first inspect the marketing and branding capabilities of these sites. Explaining the terms in-depth and what the actual targets should be from a business perspective. This is done through quantitative research and will be concluded by giving suggestions on how this can be implemented in the current marketing strategy of WM-Plast Oy
Predictors of premature discontinuation of outpatient treatment after discharge of patients with posttraumatic stress disorder
No full textHee Ryung Wang, Young Sup Woo, Tae-Youn Jun, Won-Myong Bahk Department of Psychiatry, College of Medicine, The Catholic University of Korea, Seoul, Korea Objective: This study aimed to examine the sociodemographic and disease-related variables associated with the premature discontinuation of psychiatric outpatient treatment after discharge among patients with noncombat-related posttraumatic stress disorder. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients who were discharged with a diagnosis of posttraumatic stress disorder. Results: Fifty-five percent of subjects (57/104) prematurely discontinued outpatient treatment within 6 months of discharge. Comparing sociodemographic variables between the 6-month non-follow-up group and 6-month follow-up group, there were no variables that differed between the two groups. However, comparing disease-related variables, the 6-month follow-up group showed a longer hospitalization duration and higher Global Assessment of Function score at discharge. The logistic regression analysis showed that a shorter duration of hospitalization predicted premature discontinuation of outpatient treatment within 6 months of discharge. Conclusion: The duration of psychiatric hospitalization for posttraumatic stress disorder appeared to influence the premature discontinuation of outpatient treatment after discharge. Keywords: posttraumatic stress disorder, discontinuation, compliance, predicto
Spatial Metaphors of Ambiguity in Roman Culture
No full textThis is the author accepted manuscript. The final version is available from the Paideia Institute via the link in this recordThis chapter takes a somewhat different approach to the topic of ambiguity in Latin literature from
the others in this volume. Taking as a given that Latin speakers were mindful of the capacity of
some words, phrases, and even whole sentences to convey multiple different meanings, other
chapters examine a range of literary settings where lexical or syntactic ambiguities appear to be
exploited deliberately by Latin authors for imaginative aims. I equally assume an awareness of
ambiguity on the part of Latin speakers, but in this paper I interrogate how they conceived of this
and other types of multiplicity of meaning.1
In other words, I look at how Latin speakers went
about representing ambiguity to themselves and how they understood ambiguity as part of their
experience generally. I start by showing that Latin speakers’ conventional understanding of
ambiguity is delivered metaphorically via the image of PATHS DIVERGING. I also show, however,
that in certain technical contexts the image of CENTRALITY is used, permitting the delineation of
two different kinds of ambiguous meaning relations. I go on to argue that what provides the
motivation for, and thus makes sense of, these twin images is Latin’s regular conceptualization of
“meaning” itself in terms of a linear spatial metaphor. I conclude by suggesting that Latin’s spatial
metaphorics of ambiguity anticipate certain aspects of contemporary linguistic theory – but also
more than this: that it constituted a feature of Roman society’s signifying order, contributing to the
valuation of this phenomenon in the culture

The mean change from baseline in Montgomery–Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) total score at week 8 was compared between each of the bupropion SR dose groups and the placebo group using an analysis of covariance with the multiplicity adjustment by Dunnett’s step-down procedure. A total of 569 subjects met all of the inclusion criteria and proceeded to the treatment phase. The subjects proceeding to the treatment phase included 454 Japanese patients and 115 Korean patients. There was no statistically significant difference between each of the bupropion SR dose groups and the placebo group in the primary efficacy endpoint of change from baseline in MADRS total score at week 8. Similar results were generally obtained for all of the secondary efficacy endpoints. The secondary analysis and the other subgroup analysis did not show a statistically significant difference in efficacy. There was no substantial difference in the type, severity, and incidence of adverse events (AEs) between the bupropion SR dose groups and the placebo group, which indicates a favorable safety profile for bupropion SR. There were no significant findings in subjects treated with bupropion SR in regard to sexual dysfunction, weight change, and withdrawal syndrome, which are frequently recognized as clinical concerns associated with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, widely used for the treatment of depression.
