The Islamic jurisprudential legal system represents an essential component of the Islamic religion, that governs many aspects of Muslims' daily lives. This creates many questions that require interpretations by qualified specialists, or Muftis according to the main sources of legislation in Islam. The Islamic jurisprudence is usually classified into branches, according to which the questions can be categorized and classified. Such categorization has many applications in automated question-answering systems, and in manual systems in routing the questions to a specialized Mufti to answer specific topics. In this work we tackle the problem of automatic categorisation of Islamic jurisprudential legal questions using deep learning techniques. In this paper, we build a hierarchical deep learning model that first extracts the question text features at two levels: word and sentence representation, followed by a text classifier that acts upon the question representation. To evaluate our model, we build and release the largest publicly available dataset of Islamic questions and answers, along with their topics, for 52 topic categories. We evaluate different state-of-the art deep learning models, both for word and sentence embeddings, comparing recurrent and transformer-based techniques, and performing extensive ablation studies to show the effect of each model choice. Our hierarchical model is based on pre-trained models, taking advantage of the recent advancement of transfer learning techniques, focused on Arabic language.

The incidence of extremity amputation is estimated at about 200,000 cases annually. Over 25% of patients suffer from terminal neuroma or phantom limb pain (TNPLP), resulting in pain, inability to wear a prosthetic device, and lost work. Once TNPLP develops, there is no definitive cure. Therefore, there has been an emerging focus on TNPLP prevention. We examined the current literature on TNPLP prevention in patients undergoing extremity amputation. A literature review was performed using Ovid Medline, Cochrane Collaboration Library, and Google Scholar to identify all original studies that addressed surgical prophylaxis against TNPLP. The search was conducted using both Medical Subject Headings and free-text using the terms "phantom limb pain," "amputation neuroma," and "surgical prevention of amputation neuroma." Fifteen studies met the inclusion criteria, including six prospective trials, two comprehensive literature reviews, four retrospective chart reviews, and three case series/technique reviews. Five techniques were identified, and each was incorporated into a targetbased classification system. A small but growing body of literature exists regarding the surgical prevention of TNPLP. Targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR), a form of physiologic target reassignment, has the greatest momentum in the academic surgical community, with multiple recent prospective studies demonstrating superior prevention of TNPLP. Neurorrhaphy and transposition with implantation are supported by less robust evidence, but merit future study as alternatives to TMR.

입력이 되는 지문 영상의 품질은 지문 인식 시스템의 전체 인식 성능에 다양하게 영향을 미친다. 지문 영상의 품질은 추출, 정합 등의 알고리즘 내에서도 중요한 정보로 활용되는데, 특히 센서 입력부에서의 품질 측정 및 평가는 불필요한 처리 과정을 줄여 시스템의 전반적인 안정성을 유도하는데 사용되는 만큼 매우 중요한 과정이 된다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 많은 연구 결과들과는 달리 센서, 인식 알고리즘, 손가락의 특성에 독립적인 지문 영상 품질을 정의하였다. 또한 이의 측정을 위하여 지문 영상의 지역적 특성들만을 이용한 새로운 품질 측정 방법도 제안하였다. 제안하는 품질 측정 방법은 블록별 품질 특성 분류 결과를 이용하여 전체 지문 영상의 품질을 수치화하는 것으로, 본 논문에서는 FVC에서 사용된 몇 가지 서브 데이터베이스들을 이용하여 제안하는 방법의 유용함을 증명하였다. 실험 결과는 NIST의 NFIQ, AWARE사의 QualityCheck 품질 측정 알고리즘들과 비교되었는데, 이들 알고리즘들에 비해 제안하는 측정 방법이 인간의 시각적 분류 기준과 유사한 결과를 보였다.

Purpose: Physical therapists are required to properly choose the most appropriate treatment for each patient within the framework of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF model). The aims of this study were to determine whether neurological physical therapists in clinical settings in South Korea know about the ICF model and to investigate the current trends of outcome measures (OMs) used by them. Methods: Two hundred and one physical therapists who worked with patients with neurological disorders participated in this study. The survey was conducted via e-mail and asked about commonly used OMs and the considerations for selecting OMs. Results: All physical therapists involved in this study responded completely, and 45.8% of participants learned about the ICF model, while 37.3% understood the detailed information related to the ICF model. The rest of the participants did not know or just heard about the ICF model. The most frequently used tools at the body function/structure level were the Range of Motion (98%), Manual Muscle Test (97%), Berg Balance Scale (83.1%), and Modified Ashworth Scale (70.6%) when allowing repetition. At the activity level, the 10-meter walk test (71.1%), 6-minute walk test (54.2%), and Functional Ambulatory Category (43.3%) were used, while the Activity-Specific Balance Confidence Scale (23.9%) was used at the participation level. There was a positive relationship between the number of tools used and years of work, as well as the level of understanding of the ICF model. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that it is necessary to learn the ICF model in a clinical setting. In addition, the medical system needs to be modified to encourage physical therapists in South Korea to use proper OMs within the ICF model.

Brazil is considered as a great broiler feet exporter, especially for the Chinese trade. Contact lesions at the tibiotarsal region are responsible for economic losses and there is no model for its classification, thereby this study presents a fast and practical grade system to be used in the poultry industry and proposes these lesion characterizations into three different grades. For this, correlation was made between macroscopic, histological findings and microbiological quantification (Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus spp., Streptococcus spp. and sulphite-reducing clostridia) from contact lesions in the tibiotarsal region of 112 broiler carcasses, divided in four groups (n=28), accordingly to the lesion's intensity. There were no significant differences in microbiological quantification among the groups (p>0.05) except for the grade 3 group, as grade 1 and 2 lesions were in the early stages and histopathological changes such as ulceration were not observed. In grade 3 lesion group, it was observed bacterial cocci grume and ulceration at the articular region and significantly higher microbiological count (p<0.05) for E. coli and Staphylococcus spp. In conclusion, the visual standard proposed in this work, correlated and confirmed by the histopathologic, and microbiologic characterization, allows to precise and fast ascertainment of the contact lesion grade in the tibiotarsal regions of broiler carcasses. Moreover, it should be highlighted that grades 1 and 2 alterations are not caused by an inflammatory process caused by pathogenic agents and should not be considered a public health risk.

Semiconductor industry has been taking the advantage of improvements in process technology in order to maintain reduced device geometries and stringent performance specifications. This results in semiconductor manufacturing processes became hundreds in sequence, it is continuously expected to be increased. This may in turn reduce the yield. With a large amount of investment at stake, this motivates tighter process control and fault diagnosis. The continuous improvement in semiconductor industry demands advancements in process control and monitoring to the same degree. Any fault in the process must be detected and classified with a high degree of precision, and it is desired to be diagnosed if possible. The detected abnormality in the system is then classified to locate the source of the variation. The performance of a fault detection system is directly reflected in the yield. Therefore a highly capable fault detection system is always desirable. In this research, time series modeling of the data from an etch equipment has been investigated for the ultimate purpose of fault diagnosis. The tool data consisted of number of different parameters each being recorded at fixed time points. As the data had been collected for a number of runs, it was not synchronized due to variable delays and offsets in data acquisition system and networks. The data was then synchronized using a variant of Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) algorithm. The AutoRegressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) model was then applied on the synchronized data. The ARIMA model combines both the Autoregressive model and the Moving Average model to relate the present value of the time series to its past values. As the new values of parameters are received from the equipment, the model uses them and the previous ones to provide predictions of one step ahead for each parameter. The statistical comparison of these predictions with the actual values, gives us the each parameter's probability of fault, at each time point and (once a run gets finished) for each run. This work will be extended by applying a suitable probability generating function and combining the probabilities of different parameters using Dempster-Shafer Theory (DST). DST provides a way to combine evidence that is available from different sources and gives a joint degree of belief in a hypothesis. This will give us a combined belief of fault in the process with a high precision.

This paper proposes a conceptual taxonomy of architectures for workflow management systems. The systematic classification work is based on a framework for workflow architectures. The framework, consisting of generic-level, conceptual-level and implementation-level architectures, provides common architectural principles for designing a workflow management system. We define the taxonomy by considering the possibilities for centralization or distribution of data, control, and execution. That is, we take into account three criteria. How are the major components of a workflow model and system, like activities, roles, actors, and workcases, concretized in workflow architecture. Which of the components is represented as software modules of the workflow architecture\ulcorner And how are they configured and operating in the architecture\ulcorner The workflow components might be embodied, as active (processes or threads) modules or as passive (data) modules, in the software architecture of a workflow management system. One or combinations of the components might become software modules in the software architecture. Finally, they might be centralized or distributed. The distribution of the components should be broken into three: Vertically, Horizontally and Fully distributed. Through the combination of these aspects, we can conceptually generate about 64 software Architectures for a workflow management system. That is, it should be possible to comprehend and characterize all kinds of software architectures for workflow management systems including the current existing systems as well as future systems. We believe that this taxonomy is a significant contribution because it adds clarity, completeness, and global perspective to workflow architectural discussions. The vocabulary suggested here includes workflow levels and aspects, allowing very different architectures to be discussed, compared, and contrasted. Added clarity is obtained because similar architectures from different vendors that used different terminology and techniques can now be seen to be identical at the higher level. Much of the complexity can be removed by thinking of workflow systems. Therefore, it is used to categorize existing workflow architectures and suggest a plethora of new workflow architectures. Finally, the taxonomy can be used for sorting out gems and stones amongst the architectures possibly generated. Thus, it might be a guideline not only for characterizing the existing workflow management systems, but also for solving the long-term and short-term architectural research issues, such as dynamic changes in workflow, transactional workflow, dynamically evolving workflow, large-scale workflow, etc., that have been proposed in the literature.

이 연구는 재현의 층위인 실제 인간의 육성(肉聲)을 기반으로 하는 다큐멘터리-애니메이션이 현실세계의 증언으로 작용하는 애니메이션 매체의 새로운 확장임을 논의하였다. 애니메이션은 매우 다양한 기법으로 제작되어 정의하기 힘들 정도로 복잡한 양상을 띠며, 다큐멘터리는 객관적 재현을 기반으로 하지만 연출과 디지털 영상처리 등 여러 유형의 인위적 개입이 존재한다는 점에서 복잡성이 증폭된다. 두 매체의 혼성 장르로 등장한 다큐멘터리-애니메이션은 실제의 사건과 요소를 작품 안으로 끌어들여 현실 기반의 서사를 개념적으로 공유하며, 애니메이션의 외형을 시각적 특징으로 한다. 일반적으로 '애니메이티드 다큐멘터리'로 분류되어 온 이 장르는 <바시르와 왈츠를> 발표 이후 논의가 촉발되었는데, 이 작품의 기법은 실사를 변환한 로토스코핑 기법을 사용한 것으로 오인되곤 한다. 그렇지만 세밀히 분석해보면 전형적인 애니메이션 기법, 3D프로그램의 사용, 그리고 실사영상의 혼용으로 실체 없는 가상의 시뮬라크르인 애니메이션과 지시대상의 객관적 지표성을 기반으로 하는 다큐멘터리의 특성이 공존하는 모호한 매체로 제시되어 있다. 본고에서 논의하고 있는 <무장>(Going Equipped)과 <스낵 앤 드링크>(Snack and Drink), 그리고 <라이언>(Lyan)은 실제인물의 증언으로 서사가 진행된다는 점에서 다큐멘터리 매체의 특성을 공유하지만 동시에 제작기법과 연출특성으로 인해 애니메이션으로 연결된다. 따라서 기존의 분류체계에 이 매체를 포함하기보다 새로운 확장으로써 논의되어야 하며, 이는 작품의 실체를 직시하고 논의를 발전시키기 위해 반드시 필요한 전제라 하겠다. 이 연구에서는 인터뷰이(Interviewee)의 목소리를 직접 사용하면서도 애니메이션의 특성을 벗어나지 않는 작품들을 통해 다큐멘터리-애니메이션을 정의하고 현실세계의 증언으로 확장되고 있는 매체의 가능성에 대하여 논의하고자 하였다.
