The use of machine learning to identify the correctness of HS Code for the customs import declarations
No full textAs an increasing volume of international trade activities around the world, the amount of cross-boarder import declarations grows rapidly, resulting in an unprecedented scale of potentially fraudulent transactions, in particular false commodity code (e.g., HS Code). The incorrect HS Code will cause duty risk and adversely impact the revenue collection. Physical investigation by the customs administrations is impractical due to the substantial quantity of declarations. This paper provides an automatic approach by harnessing the power of machine learning techniques to relief the burden of customs targeting officers. We introduced a novel model based on the off-the-shelf embedding encoder to identify the correctness of HS Code without any human effort. Determining whether the HS Code is correctly matched with commodity description is a classification task, so the labelled data is typically required. However, the lack of gold standard labelled data sets in customs domain limits the development of supervised-based approach. Our model is developed by the unsupervised mechanism and trained on the unlabelled historical declaration records, which is robust and able to be smoothly adapted by the different customs administrations. Rather than typically classifying whether the HS Code is correct or not, our model predicts the score to indicate the degree of the HS Code being correct. We have evaluated our proposed model on the ground-truth data set provided by Dutch customs officers. Results show promising performance of 71% overall accuracy.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Information and Communication Technolog
HS-stability and complex products in involution semigroups
No full textWhen does the complex product of a given number of subsets of a group generate the same subgroup as their union? We answer this question in a more general form by introducing HS-stability and characterising the HS-stable involution subsemigroup generated by a subset of a given involution semigroup. We study HS-stability for the special cases of regular ∗-semigroups and commutative involution semigroups.</p
High sensitivity Cardiac Troponin T (hs-cTnT) and I (hs-cTnI) levels in dogs with Dirofilaria immitis
No full textDirofilaria immitis (D. immitis); is a parasitic zoonosis with a prevalence of 53.8%, whose intermediate host is mosquitoes (Anopheles, Aedes, Culex, Taeniorhychus, Mansonia and Armigenes), final hosts are carnivores (dog, cat, fox, etc.) and humans. The causative agent settles in the pulmonary arteries and causes pulmonary hypertension, which can progress to congestive heart failure. Cardiac troponins (cTn), which have recently been used in veterinary cardiology, are considered the gold standard because of their high sensitivity and specificity for myocardial injury. In the study, high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) and high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI) levels in healthy dogs were determined as 0.092 +/- 0.009 and 0.135 +/- 0.024 ng/mL, respectively. In dogs with D. immitis, hs-cTnT and hs-cTnI levels in healthy dogs were determined as 0.164 +/- 0.035 and 0.234 +/- 0.052, respectively. As a result; it was determined that there was an increase in hs-cTnT and hs-cTnI levels in dogs with D. immitis, although it was not statistically significant (p > 0.05). Considering that even the slightest change in the levels of troponins is prognostically important, it can be said that D. immitis causes myocardial damage in dogs
'Hammondia heydorni' from the Arabian mountain gazelle and red fox in Saudi Arabia
No full textUnsporulated oocysts were detected in the feces of an Arabian red fox (Vulpes vulpes arabica) between 6 and 8 days after it had been fed meat from Arabian mountain gazelles (Gazella gazella) known to contain sarcocysts. No oocysts were discovered in the feces of other experimental cubs, although sporocysts of Sarcocystis spp. were passed subsequently by all cubs that were fed gazelle meat, including those fed with reem (G. subgutturosa marica). The oocysts sporulated in 3 days at room temperature (25 ± 2 C); they were 10.9 ± 1.4 × 10.1 ± 1.3 μm, with 2 sporocysts measuring 6.0 ± 0.6 × 4.7 ± 0.8 μm, each with 4 sporozoites. Sporulated oocysts were identified as those of Hammondia heydorni using molecular and standard morphometric techniques. Sequence differences between 2 fox and 3 dog isolates of H. heydorni were detected and allowed differentiation between the 2 populations of the organism. The involvement of Neospora caninum was excluded using molecular methods. The Arabian red fox and the Arabian mountain gazelle in Saudi Arabia are new, definitive and intermediate hosts for H. heydorni

Art and cybernetics: a new ontology for art
No full textDespite the disappearance of cybernetics from today’s disciplinary maps, its importance in shaping the course of postwar science cannot be underestimated. Historian Thomas Rid defines cybernetics as a ‘general theory of machines’, arguing that this new discipline emerging in the 1940s ‘transformed what computers stood for over the next half century — from machines of assured destruction to machines of living grace’. Contrary to a commonly held misconception, the influence of cybernetics on art, and of art on cybernetics, outweighs the spheres of digital and computer art. The history of cybernetics and art involves dancing sculptures and biomimetic bodies, plants entering the white-cube gallery space as agents, and electronic music being generated in the dialogue between humans, electricity, and objects. In this chapter I will discuss a definitive moment in this history: the exhibition ‘Cybernetic Serendipity’, organised by Jasia Reichardt at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London in 1968. I contend that the ascent of cybernetics in art of the 1960s repositioned the machine as central to the making of art, and laid the ground for both embodied and disembodied understandings of interactivity, thereby reconceptualising the artwork as a life-like communicative system. Cybernetic art is a far cry from the semiotics-driven understanding of information in Conceptual art, which also came into prominence in the late 1960s. By contrast, cybernetic art consisted of neither representational nor conceptual artworks, but what we might call ontological objects: objects which, at the moment of their coming-to-life, stage open-ended performative encounters between themselves and multiple participants
Stroke genetics: prospects for personalized medicine.
No full textEpidemiologic evidence supports a genetic predisposition to stroke. Recent advances, primarily using the genome-wide association study approach, are transforming what we know about the genetics of multifactorial stroke, and are identifying novel stroke genes. The current findings are consistent with different stroke subtypes having different genetic architecture. These discoveries may identify novel pathways involved in stroke pathogenesis, and suggest new treatment approaches. However, the already identified genetic variants explain only a small proportion of overall stroke risk, and therefore are not currently useful in predicting risk for the individual patient. Such risk prediction may become a reality as identification of a greater number of stroke risk variants that explain the majority of genetic risk proceeds, and perhaps when information on rare variants, identified by whole-genome sequencing, is also incorporated into risk algorithms. Pharmacogenomics may offer the potential for earlier implementation of 'personalized genetic' medicine. Genetic variants affecting clopidogrel and warfarin metabolism may identify non-responders and reduce side-effects, but these approaches have not yet been widely adopted in clinical practice
HS-1371, a novel kinase inhibitor of RIP3-mediated necroptosis
No full textNecroptosis is a type of programmed cell death that usually occurs under apoptosis-deficient conditions. Receptor-interacting protein kinase-3 (RIP3, or RIPK3) is a central player in necroptosis, and its kinase activity is essential for downstream necroptotic signaling events. Since RIP3 kinase activity has been associated with various diseases, the development of specific RIP3 inhibitors is an attractive strategy for therapeutic application. In this study, we identified a potent RIP3 inhibitor, HS-1371, by the extensive screening of chemical libraries focused on kinases. HS-1371 directly binds to RIP3 in an ATP-competitive and time-independent manner, providing a mechanism of action. Moreover, the compound inhibited TNF-induced necroptosis but did not inhibit TNF-induced apoptosis, indicating that this novel inhibitor has a specific inhibitory effect on RIP3-mediated necroptosis via the suppression of RIP3 kinase activity. Our results suggest that HS-1371 could serve as a potential preventive or therapeutic agent for diseases involving RIP3 hyperactivation © The Author(s) 201
