Risk Assessment of Diary Cattle Brucellosis Based on Systematic Multilevel Grey Relation Entropy Method

[Objective] The study was to explore the major factors affecting diary cattle brucellosis risk assessment,as well as their strong-to-weak sequence,so as to provide theoretical basis for assessing diary cattle brucellosis risk level in different regions.[Method] From 4 dimensions of feeding and importing,breeding,housing and polyculture situation,an evaluation index system was set up,and diary cattle brucellosis risk survey was conducted in 3 typical regions.Finally,systematic multilevel grey relation entropy method was applied to perform data analysis.[Result] The strong-to-weak sequence of Level 1 impact factor of diary cattle brucellosis was as follows：feeding and importinghousingpolyculture situationbreeding;the sequence of Level 2 impact factor was U32〉U12〉U11〉U31〉U21〉U42〉U43〉U23〉U22〉U41;the risk level sequence of 3 typical regions was Province A（County A1,A2,A3）Province B（County B1,B2,B3）Province C（County C1,C2,C3）.[Conclusion] According to the weight of Level 1 index strata,administrative departments at all levels and dairy cattle farmers should lay emphasis on the aspects of feeding,importing and housing;viewed from the perspective of Level 2 index strata,dairy cattle farmers should value the siting of cattle field,the brucellosis surveillance before importing and milking modes most.According to the diary cattle brucellosis risk level of 3 typical regions,if administrative departments at all levels strengthen peoples＇ awareness of their personal health and increase investment in this area,with new healthy cultured atmosphere built,the risk level of diary cattle brucellosis will surly decline.

Ferenczi’s Clinical Diary as a Postmodern Novel: Searching for the Artistic Movements in Psychoanalytic Process

The perspective of literature formulations allows us to think of the Clinical Diary as an artistic product of Ferenczi’s unfolding experience of primary relatedness with his patients.The open and poetic style of his writing supports such an interpretation.Ferenczi’s own anxiety on surrendering to the experiment of mutual analysis was quite visible.Ferenczi undertook in intensive,genuinely interpersonal therapy:patient and analyst become both artist(writer)and medium.He was in fact the father of the post-Freudian approach to what he called the“traumatogenic”environing psychology of his patients.On a personal level,in his direct and forthright discussion of Freud and his work,he deeply influenced the creative unfolding of major psychoanalytic perspectives on theory and practice.The Clinical Diary is a personal novel of searching boundaries in psychoanalytical technical questions and also searching boundaries in human relations and in metapsychology of the conscious and unconscious processes.There are three storytellers:Ferenczi,his patients and Freud.Their storylines are mixed in special ways focusing on the secret questions of the analytical method.

Validation of the Daily Diary of Fatigue Symptoms—Fibromyalgia (DFS-Fibro)

Introduction: Fatigue is an important fibromyalgia (FM) symptom, but existing measures of fatigue are unlikely to meet regulatory standards for clinical trial use. We describe the development and validation of the Daily Diary of Fatigue Symptoms—Fibromyalgia (DFS-Fibro), a 24-hour recall, patient-reported outcome (PRO) measure of fatigue in FM that is administered electronically (ePRO). Methods: There were 3 phases of work: 1) item generation based on concept elicitation interviews with FM patients, with clinical relevance confirmed by expert clinician review;2) pilot testing/cognitive debriefing interviews with FM patients;and 3) psychometric validation using data from a methodology study with 145 FM patients. The measure was finalised based on both qualitative and quantitative findings. Results: Twenty-three items were generated in phase 1, some minor revisions were made following the pilot testing and cognitive debriefing (phase 2) but none were deleted. All patients found the measure easy to understand and use. Item reduction was conducted taking into account both the initial psychometric data and the earlier qualitative research, resulting in a final 5 item measure of the “symptom” of fatigue. The 5-item DFS-Fibro had very high internal consistency (alpha = 0.99), and strong test-re-test reliability (r > 0.84), convergent validity and known-groups validity. Conclusion: The DFS-Fibro has strong psychometric properties and strong face and content validity for the measurement of fatigue in FM.

Optical Character Recognition Functionality Introduction in Mobile Application for Car Diary

The purpose of the paper is to develop a mobile Android application--＂Car Log＂ that gives to users the ability to track all the costs for a vehicle and the ability to add fuel cost data by taking a photo of the cash receipt from the respective gas station where the charging was performed. OCR （optical character recognition） is the conversion of images of typed, handwritten or printed text into machine-encoded text. Once we have the text machine-encoded we can further use it in machine processes, like translation, or extracted, meaning text-to-speech transformed, helping people in simple everyday tasks. Users of the application will be able to enter other completely different costs grouped into categories and other charges. Car Log application quickly and easily can visualize, edit and add different costs for a ear. It also supports the ability to add multiple profiles, by entering data for all ears in a single family, for example, or a small business. The test results are positive thus we intend to further develop a cloud ready application.

The Missing Link： Japan as an Intermediary in the Transculturation of the Diary of A Madman

The Diary of A Madman （Kuangren r/j/）, Lu Xun＇s first well-known short stoW and the alleged first modem short stow in vernacular Chinese, is famous for its first-person narrative by an intellectual that is suffering from a persecution complex. As acknowledged by Lu Xun himself and argued by most scholars, this short stoW was influenced by Gogol＇s homonymic short stow, but has developed more profound melancholy and indignation. However, as my paper demonstrates, this perspective neglects the role of Japan as an intermediary in the transculturation of madness. First, Lu Xun＇s initial encounter with Gogol＇s Diary of A Madman was through his reading of Futabatei Shimei＇s translation in the Japanese magazine Ky6mi. Second, the framed narrative and contrasting styles of Lu Xun＇s short stow, which are not features of Gogol＇s, might also be due to the inspiration from the Japanese genbun itchi movement in the Meiji period. Third, and most importantly, cannibalism, a major theme in Lu Xun＇s Diary of A Madman, was arguably shaped by the heated discussion in Japan on national character and cannibalism. My paper will trace the double origin of the depiction of madness and cannibalism in Lu Xun＇s work and illustrate the importance of the role of Japan in the transculturation of the stow of a madman.

Effect of a pain diary use on recovery from acute whiplash injury: a cohort study
