Distributed human computation framework for linked data co-reference resolution
No full textDistributed Human Computation (DHC) is a technique used to solve computational problems by incorporating the collaborative effort of a large number of humans. It is also a solution to AI-complete problems such as natural language processing. The Semantic Web with its root in AI is envisioned to be a decentralised world-wide information space for sharing machine-readable data with minimal integration costs. There are many research problems in the Semantic Web that are considered as AI-complete problems. An example is co-reference resolution, which involves determining whether different URIs refer to the same entity. This is considered to be a significant hurdle to overcome in the realisation of large-scale Semantic Web applications. In this paper, we propose a framework for building a DHC system on top of the Linked Data Cloud to solve various computational problems. To demonstrate the concept, we are focusing on handling the co-reference resolution in the Semantic Web when integrating distributed datasets. The traditional way to solve this problem is to design machine-learning algorithms. However, they are often computationally expensive, error-prone and do not scale. We designed a DHC system named iamResearcher, which solves the scientific publication author identity co-reference problem when integrating distributed bibliographic datasets. In our system, we aggregated 6 million bibliographic data from various publication repositories. Users can sign up to the system to audit and align their own publications, thus solving the co-reference problem in a distributed manner. The aggregated results are published to the Linked Data Cloud

Sectoral allocation by gender of Latin American workers over the liberalization period of the 1990s
No full textThe recent restructuring of Latin American economies has renewed interest in the effects of trade liberalization, on labor markets, and on the gender division of labor. The author does not attempt to establish casuality between economic reforms, and the types of jobs that men and women hold. Instead, she provides a detailed description of the trends in male, and female formal, and informal sector participation during the economic reform period in Argentina, Brazil, and Costa Rica. The author first compares the gender composition of the formal, informal wage, and self-employment sectors in a year before reforms (1988 for Argentina, 1989 for Brazil, and Costa Rica), and a year after reforms implementation (1997 for Argentina, 1995 for Brazil and Costa Rica). Although women continued to be more likely than men to work in the informal wage sector, there is no trend of"masculinization"or"feminization"of the informal sector, or any other. Instead, in Argentina men have overtaken women as the most prevalent workers in the informal wage sector, while in Brazil, the opposite has occurred (as men move into self-employment). In Costa Rica there have been no statistical, observable changes. The author then considers the distribution across sectors within each gender group, to identify whether men, and women are more likely to select different sectors in the post-reform period relative to the pre-reform period. Among both men, and women in all three countries (except Brazilian men), workers have become more likely to hold informal wage jobs, and less likely to hold formal sector jobs. Trends in human capital accumulation explain these changes for both men, and women, while changes in gender roles, primarily in homecare and marriage, do not seem to have an effect.Health Monitoring&Evaluation,Labor Policies,Population&Development,Public Health Promotion,Environmental Economics&Policies,Health Monitoring&Evaluation,Environmental Economics&Policies,Population&Development,Banks&Banking Reform,Work&Working Conditions
The Ever Evolving Web: the Power of Networks
No full textIn this paper we consider the Web as a network of networks and reflect on its evolution, firstly by analyzing the reasons why it became the first truly ubiquitous hypertext system against all competitors and secondly by looking at how it has evolved from a network of linked documents to a system that facilitates social networking on a scale previously unimaginable and how it will evolve in the future as a network of linked data and beyond. The study of the Web—its evolution and its impact on society, on business and on government—is referred to as Web Science. We consider some of the major challenges of Web Science and discuss possible Web worlds of the future
Wanita: Penuaan dan putus haid: Satu kajian di kalangan masyarakat Cina di daerah Batu Pahat, Johor / Wendy Lim Hui Thing
No full textKajian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji golongan wanita Cina di bandar rnengenai cara mereka bertindak ke atas proses penuaan dan putus haid. Bab I menghuraikan objektif bidang, kepentingan, metodologi dan masalah masalah yang dihadapi semasa kajian dijalankan serta cara mengatasinya. Dalam bab ini juga diterangkan bagaimana ahli responden dipilih dan latarbelakang para responden serta tempat kajiannya. Bab II membincangkan persepsi dan sikap wanita Cina terhadap kedua-dua proses penuaan dan putus haid. Penerangan akan diberi kepada dua proses tersebut. Di samping itu juga akan disentuh mengenai teori antropologikal yang berkenaan dengannya. Seterusnya perbincangan juga ditumpukan pada pembentukan sosial dan budaya masyarakal Cina tradisional, persepsi dan sikap rnereka terhadap penuaan dan putus haid serta perkaitan yang wujud di antara kedua-dua proses ini. Bab III meneliti jenis simptom-simptom putus haid yang wujud dan adakah simptom-simptom ini hadir di kalangan masyarakat yang dikaji. Sementara itu, akan dilihat juga bagaimana persepsi dan sikap seseorang itu akan mempengaruhi simptom-simptom yang mungkin dilaluinya itu. Bab IV mengemukakan jenis rawatan dan perkhidmatan kesihatan yang wujud dan setakat manakah rawatan di dapati oleh masyarakat yang dikaji ini. Di samping itu akan dihuraikan mengenai Terapi Penggantian Estrogen (TPE), kesan dan kontroversi yang ujud terhaddpnya. Seterusnya akan juga dibincangkan mengenai jenis rawatan alternatif yang lain. Bab V akan menerangkan kesimpulan yang telah dibuat oleh pengkaji dari hasil penyelidikannya ini / Di samping itu, pengkaji juga telah memberi pendapat serta cadangan supaya proses penuaan dan putus haid di kalangan masyarakat wanita akan diberi lebih perhatian
