As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to spread worldwide, an unprecedented amount of open data is being generated for medical, genetics, and epidemiological research. The unparalleled rate at which many research groups around the world are releasing data and publications on the ongoing pandemic is allowing other scientists to learn from local experiences and data generated on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, there is a need to integrate additional data sources that map and measure the role of social dynamics of such a unique worldwide event in biomedical, biological, and epidemiological analyses. For this purpose, we present a large-scale curated dataset of over 1.12 billion tweets, growing daily, related to COVID-19 chatter generated from 1 January 2020 to 27 June 2021 at the time of writing. This data source provides a freely available additional data source for researchers worldwide to conduct a wide and diverse number of research projects, such as epidemiological analyses, emotional and mental responses to social distancing measures, the identification of sources of misinformation, stratified measurement of sentiment towards the pandemic in near real time, among many others.

Lexical Processes

Research has demonstrated distinct roles for consonants and vowels in speech processing. For example, consonants have been shown to support lexical processes, such as the segmentation of speech based on transitional probabilities (TPs), more effectively than vowels. Theory and data so far, however, have considered only non-tone languages, that is to say, languages that lack contrastive lexical tones. In the present work, we provide a first investigation of the role of consonants and vowels in statistical speech segmentation by native speakers of Cantonese, as well as assessing how tones modulate the processing of vowels. Results show that Cantonese speakers are unable to use statistical cues carried by consonants for segmentation, but they can use cues carried by vowels. This difference becomes more evident when considering tone-bearing vowels. Additional data from speakers of Russian and Mandarin suggest that the ability of Cantonese speakers to segment streams with statistical cues carried by tone-bearing vowels extends to other tone languages, but is much reduced in speakers of non-tone languages.

This study aimed to determine whether similarity of interviewer and interviewee or interviewer and interviewer influenced applicant interview ratings. Data on background characteristics, relative interests and need for social approval were secured from 21 faculty interviewers and 296 applicants during actual selection interviews. Contrary to prior findings based on simulated activity, the results did not uphold the role of similarity. Additional data gathered from follow-up interviews with faculty interviewers point to preconceived conceptions of an “ideal” candidate as a stronger reference point for decision making in selection interviews than similarity to self.

Abstract Purpose The factors motivating pharmacy students to pursue residency and fellowship training in 2011 versus 1993 were assessed. Methods A survey replicating previous research was electronically sent to 794 residency directors and 29 fellowship program directors with a request to forward the survey to current residents and fellows. A similar survey was sent to 124 colleges of pharmacy with a request to forward the survey to the faculty member most involved with residency and fellowship promotion within their doctor of pharmacy (Pharm.D.) curriculum. Participants were asked to rank leading motivating factors and barriers to pharmacy students pursuing these programs. Additional data collected included when and the methods by which these programs are promoted. Results Among residents and fellows, 865 usable surveys were returned. The leading motivating reasons for residents and fellows to pursue training were “to gain knowledge and experience,” “to gain confidence,” and “understood as a prerequisite for certain jobs.” A total of 124 U.S. pharmacy schools were surveyed, and 65 (52%) returned completed responses. “Understood as a prerequisite for certain jobs,” “faculty stressing importance,” and “recognition of the new and challenging roles for pharmacists in the future” were the factors most frequently cited by faculty members. Conclusion Compared with previous research, a new factor motivating pharmacy students to pursue residency and fellowship training is the consideration that these opportunities are a prerequisite for certain jobs. This development may be attributable to trends in the supply and demand of pharmacists, the recognition of the value in these programs by major pharmacy organizations, and the evolving role of pharmacists in direct patient care.

In the Juridical Analysis of the Role of Customs and Excise in Supervising and Preventing Crimes of Smuggling of Goods at the Customs Commission Type B Batam, it aims to discuss the legal arrangements for the role of customs in supervising and preventing criminal acts of smuggling of goods and the implementation of obstacle factors, obstacles and solutions for the role of customs in supervising and preventing the crime of smuggling of goods (research study at the Customs and Excise KPU type B Batam). This study aims to determine the Juridical Analysis of the Role of Customs and Excise in Supervising and Preventing the Crime of Smuggling of Goods at the Customs Commission Type B Batam.The research conducted is descriptive research with the method normative legal approach (normative juridical) is carried out by means of study literature. Data collection tools used in this research are data in the form of document studies and literature searches and by using additional data in the form of interviews.The results of the study indicate that the general legal arrangement of Customs and Excise authority according to Law No. 17 of 2006 is, Customs and Excise receives reports or information from someone about a criminal act, summons people to be heard and examined as suspects or witnesses, examines, seeks , and collect information on criminal acts, arrest and detain people suspected of committing criminal acts, request information and evidence from suspects who commit criminal acts.For this reason, it is hoped that with the existence of complete legal rules and firm witnesses related to the crime of smuggling of goods, all related elements are able to understand the legal rules made to protect the public from the threat of danger, and legal rules should be emphasized so that no more criminal acts of smuggling of goods occur.

The new path planning method for AUV group moved in the " leader-followers" mode in a desired formation in an unknown environment with obstacles is proposed in paper. In this case one AUV plays role of AUV-leader, which has information about the mission and plans a safe trajectory of its movement, depending on its purpose and detected obstacles. AUV-followers must move behind the leader, in accordance with their assigned place in formation, using information about the current position of the leader, received via acoustic communication channels, and information about their distances to obstacles, detected by their onboard rangefinders. Due to the low bandwidth of acoustic communication channels, there is a problem of matching the position of the AUV-followers during obstacles avoidance. It is necessary to avoid collisions between AUV of group. This problem is solved by means of the preliminary forming for each follower of the only possible trajectory of movement inside formation which will provide it safe movement relatively other followers when this AUVfollower moves around detected obstacle. This approach allows do not coordinate the current position of the AUV-followers relative to other AUV of group if a high-precision control system is used, and as a result it does not require additional data exchange between the AUV group. In this paper, an approach to the forming of AUV-follower trajectories inside AUV formation and the method of forming the desired position of the AUV-followers on these trajectories are proposed. The effectiveness of the proposed method is confirmed by the results of mathematical modeling.

In this paper, a multilevel architecture able to interface an on-board computer with a generic UAV flight controller and its radio receiver is proposed. The computer board exploits the same standard communication protocol of UAV flight controllers and can easily access additional data, such as: (i) inertial sensor measurements coming from a multi-sensor board; (ii) global navigation satellite system (GNSS) coordinates; (iii) streaming video from one or more cameras; and (iv) operator commands from the remote control. In specific operating scenarios, the proposed platform is able to act as a “cyber pilot” which replaces the role of a human UAV operator, thus simplifying the development of complex tasks such as those based on computer vision and artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms which are typically employed in autonomous flight operations.

Any cardiovascular disease leads to heart failure (HF) — a complex clinical syndrome, the course of which is probably specified by the influence of cardiovascular factors on cardiac extracellular matrix (ECM).The presented literature data indicate that the cardiac ECM is an important pathophysiological link in the onset and progression of HF. The morphological and electrical remodeling negatively affects the systolic and diastolic functions of the heart. Impaired myocardial blood delivery, cellular maladaptation, atrial and ventricular arrhythmias are additional mechanisms of the influence of myocardial fibrosis on HF course.Understanding this role of ECM and the development of algorithms for verifying the individual status of ECM in cardiovascular patients can provide additional data on the course of HF, help to assess the risk of adverse cardiovascular events and effectively control the ongoing pharmacological and non-drug therapy.
