Cristóbal 34375 (CTES, SI); São Gabriel do Oeste, MS-429, 11 April 2009, fl., fr., L.C.P. Lima & M.P. Andrade 582 (HUEFS).

    <i>Damonella medialtis</i> sp. nov. <p>Fig. 4.4A–C</p> <p> <b>Etymology:</b> From the Latin “ <i>medius</i> ”, meaning “middle”, and “ <i>altitudo</i> ”, meaning “height”, referring to its greatest height being close to the middle point of the carapace.</p> <p> <b>Material:</b> 56 specimens.</p> <p> <b>Figured specimen:</b> ULVG-14195.</p> <p> <b>Dimensions:</b></p> <p> <b>Diagnosis:</b> A <i>Damonella</i> species with greater height closer to the middle. LV overlaps RV along the entire margin, being especially pronounced posterodorsally, and the RV shows a slight concavity both, in the postero-dorsal and antero-dorsal margins.</p> <p> <b>Description:</b> Medium carapace with a sub-rectangular to sub-ovoid outline in lateral view and an ovoid outline in dorsal view. Anterior and posterior margins rounded and equicurvate. Ventral margin slightly concave, dorsal margin convex.

    Transparent assessment of information quality of online reviews using formal argumentation theory

    No full text
    Review scores collect users’ opinions in a simple and intuitive manner. However, review scores are also easily manipulable, hence they are often accompanied by explanations. A substantial amount of research has been devoted to ascertaining the quality of reviews, to identify the most useful and authentic scores through explanation analysis. In this paper, we advance the state of the art in review quality analysis. We introduce a rating system to identify review arguments and to define an appropriate weighted semantics through formal argumentation theory. We introduce an algorithm to construct a corresponding graph, based on a selection of weighted arguments, their semantic distance, and the supported ratings. We also provide an algorithm to identify the model of such an argumentation graph, maximizing the overall weight of the admitted nodes and edges. We evaluate these contributions on the Amazon review dataset by McAuley et al. (2015), by comparing the results of our argumentation assessment with the upvotes received by the reviews. Also, we deepen the evaluation by crowdsourcing a multidimensional assessment of reviews and comparing it to the argumentation assessment. Lastly, we perform a user study to evaluate the explainability of our method, i.e., to test whether the automated method we use to assess reviews is understandable by humans. Our method achieves two goals: (1) it identifies reviews that are considered useful, comprehensible, and complete by online users, and does so in an unsupervised manner, and (2) it provides an explanation of quality assessments

    Micronutrient Deficiency and Its Potential Role in Delirium Onset in Older Adults: A Systematic Review

    No full text
    Background and Objectives: One of the pathogenetic hypotheses of delirium is the “neuroinflammatory theory” with consequent neurotoxicity of brain connectivity networks. Micronutrients may play a significant role in the prevention of neuroinflammation. This systematic review addresses the role of micronutrients in the development of delirium in older populations. Methods: The EBSCO, Cochrane, PubMed, and Web of Science databases were searched for articles on delirium and micronutrients. The methodological quality of the studies included in the review was evaluated with the Newcastle-Ottawa Scales for observational studies and for case-control studies. Results: 1326 papers were identified from the searches, 7 of which met the inclusion criteria (see section 2.3). All the papers included were written in English. Delirium was predominantly secondary to post-operative dysfunction or acute medical conditions. By altering the production of neurotransmitters resulting in an imbalance, and by reducing their immunomodulatory role with a consequent increase in inflammatory oxidative stress, micronutrient deficiency seems to be associated with an increased incidence of delirium. Conclusions: This review supports the existence of an association between micronutrient deficiency (i.e. cobalamin, thiamine, and vitamin D) and an increased incidence of delirium, with a greater prevalence in hospitalized patients

    Full scale impact testing of ski safety barriers using an instrumented anthropomorphic dummy

    No full text
    The results of full scale testing on type A nets and mattresses are reported. Tests were performed after using an anthropomorphic dummy wearing boots, skis and helmets, developed for the scope. The tests were performed in the field by means of a tower pendulum of 18 m height. Maximum impact speed was 66 km/hr: head and chest deceleration values measured by means of tri-axial accelerometers were evaluated together with high speed video taken from the top of the impact area. The method can be applied for the validation of safety barriers in skiing and for the evaluation of protective equipments
