Bayesian invariant measurements of generalisation

The problem of evaluating different learning rules and other statistical estimators is analysed. A new general theory of statistical inference is developed by combining Bayesian decision theory with information geometry. It is coherent and invariant. For each sample a unique ideal estimate exists and is given by an average over the posterior. An optimal estimate within a model is given by a projection of the ideal estimate. The ideal estimate is a sufficient statistic of the posterior, so practical learning rules are functions of the ideal estimator. If the sole purpose of learning is to extract information from the data, the learning rule must also approximate the ideal estimator. This framework is applicable to both Bayesian and non-Bayesian methods, with arbitrary statistical models, and to supervised, unsupervised and reinforcement learning schemes.

Comparison of coronary heart disease risk factors in foreign -born and United States-born Afro Caribbean Americans and African Americans in south Florida

In a cross-sectional study design, risk factors for coronary heart disease (CHD) were evaluated in three groups: 66 Afro Caribbeans (FBCA) living in the US for less than 10 years, 62 US-born Afro Caribbean (USBCA) and 61 African American (AA) adults (18–40 years), with equal numbers of males and females in each group. Socio-demographic, dietary, anthropometric and blood pressure data were collected. Fasting blood glucose, blood lipids and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) were determined. ^ The USBCA and AA participants compared to the FBCA participants consumed significantly (p < 0.05) more mean total fat (g) (66.3 ± 41.7 and 73.0 ± 47.8 vs. 52.8 ± 32.3), saturated fat (g) (23.1 ± 14.9 and 24.9 ± 15.8 vs. 18.6 ± 11.5), percent energy from fat (%) (33.1 ± 6.5 and 31.4 ± 6.4 vs. 29.3 ± 6.8), fat servings (1.8 ± 1.2 and 1.5 ± 1.0 vs. 1.2 ± 0.9), dietary cholesterol (mg) (220.4 ± 161.9 and 244.1 ± 155.0 vs. 168.8 ± 114.0) and sodium (mg) (2245.2 ± 1238.3 and 2402.6 ± 1359.3 vs. 1838.0 ± 983.4) and less than 2 servings of fruits per day (%) (86.9 and 94.9 vs. 78.5). These differences were more pronounced in males compared to females and remained after correcting for age. Also, the percentages of USBCA and AA participants who were obese (17.1% and 23.0%, respectively) were significantly (p < 0.05) higher compared to FBCA (7.6%) participants. More USBCA and AA than FBCA individuals smoked cigarettes (4.8% and 6.6% vs. 0.0%) and consumed alcoholic beverages (29.0% and 50.8% vs. 24.2%). The mean hs-CRP level of the AA participants (2.2 ± 2.7 mg/L) was significantly (p < 0.01) higher compared to the FBCA (1.1 ± 1.3 mg/L) and USBCA (1.3 ± 1.6 mg/L) participants. ^ The FBCA participants had a better CHD risk profile than the USBCA and AA participants. Focus should be placed on the ethnic and cultural differences in a population to better understand the variations in health indicators among different ethnic groups of the same race. This focus can provide healthcare professionals and policy planners with the opportunity to develop culturally sensitive programs and strategies for the improvement of health outcomes. ^

Propriocepção de deficientes visuais : Treinamento funcional como possibilidade interventiva

A deficiência visual (DV) é uma limitaçao sensorial que pode comprometer o desenvolvimento motor, afetivo, social e cognitivo do ser humano. No mundo esta limitaçao acomete 39 milhoes de pessoas. No Brasil, existem aproximadamente 6,5 milhoes de DV. O treinamento funcional trabalha de forma integrada, por meio de movimentos multiarticulares e multiplanares que envolvem o sistema proprioceptivo, estando relacionado com a sensaçao de movimento (sinestesia) e posiçao articular. Desta forma, o objetivo desse estudo foi analisar os efeitos do treinamento funcional na propriocepçao de deficientes visuais. O programa de treinamento teve duraçao de 12 semanas, com sessoes bi-semanais das quais participaram oito indivíduos, cinco com baixa visao e três com cegueira total. A avaliaçao da propriocepçao de membros superiores foi realizada com um cinesiômetro, e a avaliaçao de membros inferiores foi realizada com a fixaçao de um flexímetro na articulaçao do joelho do membro dominante do participante. Os resultados evidenciaram melhoras discretas para dois ângulos de membros superiores, porém nos membros inferiores a margem de erro foi bem inferior que nos membros superiores

Diversity and television in Argentina: the case of the Audiovisual Technology Hub Programme

This paper describes and analyses the Audiovisual Technology Hub Programme (Programa Polos Audiovisuales Tecnológicos - PPAT), which has been implemented in Argentina between 2010 and 2015 as part of the public policy of former administration of Cristina Fernández de Kirchner. The main goal was to promote a television industry that reflects the cultural diversity of Argentina by dividing the national territory in nine into nine audiovisual technology hubs, where national public universities acted as centres that gathered a range of regional stakeholders. Considering the 18 TV seasons that were produced for television between 2013 and 2014, the text analyses the diversity of sources and genres / subgenres and its restricted marketing. The article closes with a brief set of conclusions about this initiative.

El Otro y el yo, las porras vs. el café: soluciones de traducción para los elementos culturales en las versiones castellanas de "Las baladas del ajo", de Mo Yan

El objetivo de este trabajo es mostrar los fenómenos en las traducciones de Las baladas del ajo, de texto original chino traducido primero al inglés, y del inglés al español. Asimismo, tenemos dos objetivos específicos, por un lado estudiamos las fórmulas de traducción de los elementos culturales –muy frecuentes– detectados en Las baladas del ajo y por el otro, observamos la traducción indirecta del inglés al español a través de una comparación entre el texto original en chino, la versión en inglés y la española. Las conclusiones de este trabajo nos permiten estudiar tanto las soluciones adoptadas para los elementos culturales, así como hacer una evaluación general de la traducción de segunda mano.

Molecular analysis of RNA1 and RNA2 sequences from a betanodavirus isolated from giant grouper (Epinephelus lanceolatus) in Australia

Betanodavirus infections have a significant impact through direct losses and trade restrictions for aquaculture sectors in Australia. The giant grouper, Epinephelus lanceolatus, is a high-value, fast-growing species with significant aquaculture potential. With subacute to chronic mortalities reported from a commercial aquaculture facility in northern Queensland, the viral nervous necrosis in the affected fish was confirmed using a RT-qPCR followed by virus isolation using the SSN-1 cell line. The RNA1 and RNA2 segments were sequenced and nucleotide sequences were compared with betanodavirus sequences from GenBank. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that both these sequences clustered with sequences representing red spotted grouper nervous necrosis virus genotype and showed high sequence identity to virus sequences affecting other grouper species. This is the first report confirming infection by betanodavirus in E. lanceolatus from Australia with successful isolation of the virus in a cell culture system, and analysis of nearly full length RNA1 and RNA2 sequences.
