Hierarchical Representations of Freebase Topics
No full textThe dataset contains more than 21M hierarchical relationships about ≈10M topics extracted from Freebase knowledgebase. The topics span the various categories of Freebase including Science & Technology, Arts & Entertainment, Sports, Society, Products & Services, Transportation, Time & Space, Special Interests, and Commons. The relationships describe the hierarchies of topics in terms of Types, Domains, and Categories. For example, ‘Albert Einstein’ can be found as a topic that is a sub-class of ‘Person’, belonging to the ‘People’ domain and ‘Society’ category. Another entity named as ‘Albert Einstein’ can also be found as a sub-class of ‘Book’, belonging to the ‘Books’ domain and ‘Arts & Entertainment’ category. The dataset is published in JSON and CSV formats, sample files are provided to help explore how the dataset is structured. The dataset is believed to be useful for studying the inter-related connections among topics in different domains of knowledge. The first author may be contacted at ([email protected]) for more information. The following paper may kindly be cited in case of using the dataset.

Surveillance and Torture: A Foucauldian Reading in Mahmoud Saeed’s Saddam City and Sinan Antoon’s Ijaam
No full textThis article discusses the portrayal of surveillance and torture during Saddam Hussein's era, as reflected in Sinan Antoon's novel Ijaam (2004) and Mahmoud Saeed's Saddam City (2004). Surveillance is one of Michel Foucault's strategies of power. The nature of surveillance means that the authority monitors the individuals without their knowledge. It is adopted as a mean of control and a method of domination throughout Saddam's regime. Antoon described how the citizens were forced to follow the authority commands because they know that the government always watch their moves. In Saddam City (2004), Mahmoud Saeed also portrays the difficult circumstances which the Iraqi society experienced for more three decades under constant censorship by the Baath Party- Saddam's ruling political party. Torture in prison, on the other hand, is also represented through the main characters of Antoon and Saeed texts. Theoretically, the subject of imprisonment and punishment is considered a unique work in Foucault's view that might not have been discussed even by modern philosophers. According to Michel Foucault, the prison must be used as a tool to reform individuals (Foucault,1995). Foucault's controversy about the use of forbidden matters in prison makes him very prominent in social and political works. He believes that the torture in prison is a political issue that does not restore justice or lead to individual reforms, but instead reinforces the authority by instilling the feeling of fear and terror among the masses. Consequently, the selected authors depicted the prison as non- reformist institution used by Saddam regime to frighten the people and to maintain his political authority
In the Presence of Absence: Mahmoud Darwish’s “Living on Border Lines”
No full textThe present paper is an attempt to analyze the autobiographical elegizing volume of Mahmoud Darwish, In the Presence of Absence (2006), in light of the main lines of Derrida’s article “Living On: Border Lines” (1978). As known almost all the oeuvre of Darwish is a reflection of his main issue, Palestine. Considering his life in the chosen exile outside his motherland without any approaching final solution along with realizing the approach of his death due to heart disease, Darwish decides to write his elegy portraying the spiral enigma (double invagination) of the story “récit” of his survival on the margins of life. He keeps wo/andering, in his discourse with his “other,” who triumphs “me, you, or death?” The endless multilayered worlds in which the narrator lives serve several goals. It is the dialectic between the fictional and the real, especially that the whole volume is autobiographical. It grants the author, Darwish, eternal life through the words, letters, and the poetry, he bequeaths his readers; and this supports the tendency that Darwish’s identity is a call for postnational identity. Finally, the whole multilayered volume corresponds with the paradoxical connotations of “triumph of/over life/death.”
Semantic-based decision support for remote care of dementia patients
No full textThis paper investigates the challenges in developing a semantic-based Dementia Care Decision Support System based on the non-intrusive monitoring of the patient's behaviour. Semantic-based approaches are well suited for modelling context-aware scenarios similar to Dementia care systems, where the patient's dynamic behaviour observations (occupants movement, equipment use) need to be analysed against the semantic knowledge about the patient's condition (illness history, medical advice, known symptoms) in an integrated knowledgebase. However, our research findings establish that the ability of semantic technologies to reason upon the complex interrelated events emanating from the behaviour monitoring sensors to infer knowledge assisting medical advice represents a major challenge. We attempt to address this problem by introducing a new approach that relies on propositional calculus modelling to segregate complex events that are amenable for semantic reasoning from events that require pre-processing outside the semantic engine before they can be reasoned upon. The event pre-processing activity also controls the timing of triggering the reasoning process in order to further improve the efficiency of the inference process. Using regression analysis, we evaluate the response-time as the number of monitored patients increases and conclude that the incurred overhead on the response time of the prototype decision support systems remains tolerable
Herb and Plant-derived Supplements in Poultry Nutrition
No full textModern poultry industry faces the everlasting challenge of the growing
demand for high-quality, low-priced food without compromising general hygiene,
health, and welfare standards. To exploit optimal growth potential, antibioticsupplemented
feeds were implemented in the past decades. But later on, alternative
strategies to trigger the productive characteristics of birds were proposed, including the
use of phytochemicals. Phytobiotics are herbs and their derivatives, endowed with
many beneficial effects. Herbs and their products enhance feed intake by mitigating
intestinal damage, strengthening intestinal integrity, compensating nutritional needs for
local and general immune response, reducing the concentration of pathogenic
microflora, and preventing local inflammatory response. This form of feed
manipulation recently gained interest in the poultry sector due to the lack of side
effects, immune system modulation boosting, and stress tolerance. On the other hand,
several types of research highlighted the potentially harmful effects of some herbs and
their metabolites. This raised concerns among consumers about their safety and
implications as feed supplements or medicines. This chapter will provide insights into
phytobiotics, their role in immunity and growth, and the possible risks of herbal
supplemented feeds in the poultry sector
