A knowledge graph embeddings based approach for author name disambiguation using literals
No full textScholarly data is growing continuously containing information about the articles from a plethora of venues including conferences, journals, etc. Many initiatives have been taken to make scholarly data available in the form of Knowledge Graphs (KGs). These efforts to standardize these data and make them accessible have also led to many challenges such as exploration of scholarly articles, ambiguous authors, etc. This study more specifically targets the problem of Author Name Disambiguation (AND) on Scholarly KGs and presents a novel framework, Literally Author Name Disambiguation (LAND), which utilizes Knowledge Graph Embeddings (KGEs) using multimodal literal information generated from these KGs. This framework is based on three components: (1) multimodal KGEs, (2) a blocking procedure, and finally, (3) hierarchical Agglomerative Clustering. Extensive experiments have been conducted on two newly created KGs: (i) KG containing information from Scientometrics Journal from 1978 onwards (OC-782K), and (ii) a KG extracted from a well-known benchmark for AND provided by AMiner (AMiner-534K). The results show that our proposed architecture outperforms our baselines of 8–14% in terms of F1 score and shows competitive performances on a challenging benchmark such as AMiner. The code and the datasets are publicly available through Github (https://github.com/sntcristian/and-kge) and Zenodo (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.6309855) respectively

For an Olive Wreath? Olympic Games and Anticipation Effects in Macroeconomics
No full textWe examine the effects that hosting and bidding for the Olympic Games has on macroeconomic outcomes in a panel of 184 countries spanning the period 1950-2006. Actual hosting of the Games generates positive investment, consumption, and output responses before, during, and after hosting. We detect anticipation effects: (i) bidding for the Olympic Games generates positive investment, consumption, and output responses at the time of the bidding; (ii) bidding for the Games has a transitory level effect. We confirm the presence of legacy effects: hosting the Games has a permanent level effect.mega-events, anticipation effects, demand shocks
PAST AND PRESENT LAND TENURE SYSTEMS IN ALBANIA: PATRILINEAL, PATRIARCHAL, FAMILY-CENTERED
No full textThis paper attempts to evaluate whether Albanian rural social structure has changed to the extent that individual rights and protection of those rights have become important policy questions. If the evaluation suggests that rural Albanians retain the set of family-oriented norms and beliefs that are based primarily on patriarchalism and patrilineal inheritance, we must address the following questions: How appropriate is the mixture of western law that emulates individualistic notions of property rights with the customary family-tenure system of rural Albania? What are the likely problems that could emerge during the transition given a potential conflict between family notions of ownership and individual notions of ownership? This paper discusses five broad issues: the contemporary importance of family ownership, the role of the patriarch, the contemporary inheritance procedures, the vulnerability of specific groups of women, and the structure of the Albanian family. Keywords: Land tenure -- Albania Right of property -- Albania Inheritance and succession -- Albania Albania -- Social conditionsLand tenure -- Albania, Right of property -- Albania, Inheritance and succession -- Albania, Albania -- Social conditions, Land Economics/Use,
With the help of one's neighbors - externalities in the production of nutrition in Peru
No full textBoth public, and private resources contribute to children's nutritional status. And investments by one household may improve health in other neighborhood households, by improving the sanitation environment, and increasing shared knowledge. The authors measure the externalities of investments in nutrition, by indicatingthe impact of women's education in Peruvian neighborhoods, on children's nutrition in other households, after controlling for those households'education, and income. They find that in rural areas this shared knowledge has a significant impact on nutrition. The coefficient of an increase in the average education in the neighborhood is appreciably larger than the coefficient of education in isolation. That is, educating women in rural areas, improves all children's nutritional status, even for those whose caregivers are themselves not educated. In both urban, and rural areas, they observe externalities from investments in sanitation made by neighboring households. They do not find the same externalities in the case of investments, only in the household water supply. There is a direct link between the caregivers'education, and their children's health status. Education transmits information about health, and nutrition. It teaches numeracy, and literacy, which help caregivers read labels, and instructions. Bu exposing caregivers to new environments, it makes them receptive to modern medical treatment. It gives women the confidence to participate in decision-making within a household, and it gives men, and women the confidence to interact with health care professionals.Health Economics&Finance,Urban Services to the Poor,Urban Services to the Poor,Decentralization,Public Health Promotion,Urban Services to the Poor,Urban Services to the Poor,Health Economics&Finance,Water Supply and Sanitation Governance and Institutions,Town Water Supply and Sanitation
Rome and Its Inhabitants during the Sack of the City by the Visigoths in 410 AD
No full textThis article uncovers anthropological aspect of the capture of Rome by the troops of Alaric, the culminating event of the crisis of 408–410 AD on the Apennine Peninsula. Taking narrative sources and archaeological data into account, and using the prosopographic analysis, the author examines the information on the damage to private and public buildings in the city of Rome and analyses what ways of salvation from the Gothic threat were available to the townspeople. The conclusion is that the absence of archaeologically documented destructions in Rome, reliably associated with the sack of 410, does not testify to the city remained undamaged. The damages affected the entire territory of Rome, and many residents were subjects to violence, robbery, and murder. Trying to save themselves from the barbarians, the Romans fled from the city or sought refuge in churches. The ordinary townspeople remained in Rome or evacuated to the isle of Igilium, though the aristocracy had the opportunity to migrate westwards (Igilium), southwards (North Africa), eastwards (Palestine), or northwards (Ravenna). With a few exceptions, all the cases under analysis concerned short-term migrations. The migrations of Roman aristocrats from Italy to North Africa or Palestine were less a reaction to the barbarian invasion than the desire to devote themselves to serving God faraway from urban centres. Generally, the sack of Rome in 410 AD was a difficult test for the city and its inhabitants, but the economic resources in possession of the senatorial aristocracy made provisions for the quick restoration of the previous standard of living
Penal populism in modern societies
No full textStraipsnyje analizuojamas baudžiamasis populizmas – jo samprata, požymiai ir gilesnių tyrimų poreikis. Remiamasi D. Garlando knyga „Kontrolės kultūra“ ir kitais autoriaus darbais, kuriuose analizuojami baudžiamumo ir požiūrio į kriminalinį baudimą kaitos procesai Vakarų visuomenėse. Autoriaus nuomone, šiuos procesus būtina pastebėti, suvokti ir įvertinti. Reikšminiai žodžiai: Baudžiamasis populizmas; Baudžiamasis populizmas, kriminologija, baudžiamoji politika; Kriminologijos raida; Nusikaltimų kontrolė; Crime control; Criminal politics; Penal populism; Penal populism, criminology, criminal politicsThe general intention of the author is to widen and enhance the scope of criminology beyond its traditional borders and to encourage a kind of "transgressive criminology". Although the discipline boasts itself of its interdisciplinarity, criminology could profit by a little more courage in borrowing from still other disciplines and perspectives than what is the usual practice in field of criminology. The pattern of interdisciplinarity which is since long observed in criminology is restricted to those disciplines whose unit of analysis consists of the individual person, excluding more or less any reference to collective and social entities. In the article F. Sack concentrates on reactions to crime by the society and the state. This is the central question which has brought about a kind of paradigmatic shift in criminology in the beginning of the sixties and which is closely connected with a new generation of essentially sociological scholars who were working in the field of crime and social control. H. S. Becker, E. Lemert, D. Matzame the most prominent scholars who have insisted on the importance for criminology of questions of the defining aspects of crime and its "constitution" and "construction". "Crime" is not just a given "natural" or ontological event, but it has to be defined, "labelled" by persons and institutions that are entitled and "licensed" to do so. The so-called constructionist orientation and perspective in the field of crime analysis and deviance in general has become more or less the dominant position in criminology. The process of criminalization on its different levels has opened up a whole new field and type of criminological studies and has stimulated a host of historical research about the role and functioning of the penal law with respect to social stability and change. F. Sack begins with some comments on the chosen topic, especially on the concept of "populism" in relation to the area of crime and criminal politics that builds the substantial, political, institutional, disciplinary and scientific frame of this conference. In the second paragraph he turns to the question of which specific criteria are used to indicate populist measures and methods in the area of crime control and crime fighting. Finally he deals with methodological and empirical questions about criminological research in the field of criminal politics. Many arguments of the author refer to one of the most prominent studies on punishment and penal policy – D. Garkind's book. "The Culture of Control"
Gabion stability
No full textSouth Korea is reclaiming land by constructing dams and polders. The large tidal differences along the Korean coast make building these dams a challenging job. One of the solutions in South Korea to cope with the high flow velocities in closure projects is to apply sack gabions. These are steel nets with rocks inside them that weigh up to 3 tons. It is not clear how stable these sack gabions are exactly. The objective of this report is to make a preliminary study on the stability of sack gabions. In 2006, the Saemangeum estuary in South Korea was closed with a dam. During the closure sack gabions were used in the bed protection, sill construction and dam heads. In a field trip to the Saemangeum project useful data was collected on the stability of gabions. Experimental data of RRI on model tests on the stability of gabions was also obtained. In addition model tests were done in Delft. All data are compared to come up with an advice for calculating the stability of gabions. To calculate the depth averaged critical velocity for 3t - 5t rock with 3t sack gabions mixtures, formula [15] proves to be useful. ucM = 2.513*x+5.4 [15 Where: ucM = critical velocity of a mixture of 50% rocks of 3.0 to 5.0 t and 50% 3.0 gabions x = the proportion of gabions in the mixture 0.2 < x < 0.5 For the calculation of the local critical velocity for a bed of sack gabions, it is advised to use Izbash' formula with a gabion stability factor (Gamma in formula [10]) while calculating the nominal diameter of a sack gabion as in formula [1] (a mass based approach): Delta Dn = (Beta*Uc2)/(Gamma*2*g) [10] Dn = (M/Rs)^1/3 [1] Where Gamma = 1.26 for sack gabions (while for loose rocks Gamma = 1) Also a qualitative analysis of the Delft model tests is made that leads to several considerations for the design of gabion bed protections: When applying gabions one has to take into account the difference in behavior between gabions and loose rocks. Another behavior that needs to be investigated further is the effect of applied pressure on a gabion bed. There is still much unknown about the stability of gabions and the report mentions several things that should be further investigated. Also it is advised to use sluices in the Netherlands or in South Korea as flumes for extensive prototype tests on the stability of gabions.Civil Engineering and Geoscience
