The ...Objective: Describe the psychosocial aspects of male infertility at the hospital of the Sino-Guinean Friendship. Patients and method: It is a prospective study of a descriptive type covering a period of 6 months. The study covered 17 patients, all received for a desire to conceive after at least one year of regular sexual intercourse without contraception. The data were collected from patient interviews using a pre-established questionnaire. Results: The average age of the patients was 32.07 years with extremes of 23 years and 42 years. During this study, 64.70% of patients were no longer participating in community ceremonies. The patients’ relationships with their spouse and family deteriorated in 52.94% and 47.06%, respectively. Conversely, relations with the family of origin remained unchanged in 70.59 percent of cases. The reduction in economic activity was by 13 patients (76.48%). Conclusion: Male infertility causes a real psychic earthquake in men with its corollaries of negative feelings. The rather complex moral repercussions of male infertility affect not only the individual, his/her partner, and family, but also economic activity.展开更多

Self-attention, aspectual word multi-head attention and dependent syntactic relations are fused and the node representations are enhanced with graph convolutional networks to enable the model to fully learn the global semantic and syntactic structural information of sentences. Experimental results show that the model performs well on three public benchmark datasets Rest14, Lap14, and Twitter, improving the accuracy of sentiment classification.展开更多

This information can enable advanced machine learning algorithms to extract and assign user sentiments to various aspects of the items thus leading to more sophisticated and justifiable recommendations. However, most Collaborative Filtering (CF) techniques rely mainly on the overall preferences of users toward items only. And there is lack of conceptual and computational framework that enables an understandable aspect-based AI approach to recommending items to users. In this paper, we propose concepts and computational tools that can sharpen the logic of recommendations and that rely on users’ sentiments along various aspects of items. These concepts include: The sentiment of a user towards a specific aspect of a specific item, the emphasis that a given user places on a specific aspect in general, the popularity and controversy of an aspect among groups of users, clusters of users emphasizing a given aspect, clusters of items that are popular among a group of users and so forth. The framework introduced in this study is developed in terms of user emphasis, aspect popularity, aspect controversy, and users and items similarity. Towards this end, we introduce the Aspect-Based Collaborative Filtering Toolbox (ABCFT), where the tools are all developed based on the three-index sentiment tensor with the indices being the user, item, and aspect. The toolbox computes solutions to the questions alluded to above. We illustrate the methodology using a hotel review dataset having around 6000 users, 400 hotels and 6 aspects.展开更多

Specifically, we extract domain features, lexical and syntactic knowledge from source-domain and target-domain data, and use a masking model with an extended masking strategy and a re-masking strategy to obtain domain-specific data that remove domain-specific features. Finally, we improve the sequence generation model BART and use it to generate high-quality target domain data for the task of aspect and opinion co-extraction from the target domain. Experiments were performed on three conventional English datasets from different domains, and our method generates more accurate and diverse target domain data with the best results compared to previous methods.展开更多

These clinical manifestations are polymorphic and severe in our context. The objective of this work is to identify the epidemiological-clinical, therapeutic and evolutionary characteristics of Biermer’s disease in Guinean population. Materials and methods: This was a retrospective of patient files followed for Biermer’s disease at the internal medicine department of Donka National Hospital from January 2012 to December 2021. Results: Eight patients were included including 5 women and 3 men. The average age of the patients was 48 years old. The diagnostic delay was 3.6 years on average. All our patients had bioclinical anemia (8 cases, i.e. 100%) followed by epigastralgia in 4 cases (50%), neurological damage such as sensitive polyneuropathy in 3 cases (37.5%). Four patients had acquired melanoderma (50%). Hypovitaminosis B12 was found in 4 patients. The myelogram performed in three patients (37.5%) found medullary megaloblastosis. One patient had Hashimoto’s disease associated with Biermer’s disease in endoscopy, (FOGD) found fundica trophy on macroscopy in 4 cases (50%). Treatment consisted of B12 vitamin therapy in all cases with a favorable clinical and biological outcome. Conclusion: Biermer’s disease remains common in Africa and is characterized at a younger age in addition to the severity of clinical and biological manifestations. The care consists of taking vitamin B12 which remains accessible in our context.
文摘With the advancements in internet facilities,people are more inclined towards the use of online services.The service providers shelve their items for e-users.These users post their feedbacks,reviews,ratings,etc.after the use of the item.The enormous increase in these reviews has raised the need for an automated system to analyze these reviews to rate these items.Sentiment Analysis(SA)is a technique that performs such decision analysis.This research targets the ranking and rating through sentiment analysis of these reviews,on different aspects.As a case study,Songs are opted to design and test the decision model.Different aspects of songs namely music,lyrics,song,voice and video are picked.For the reason,reviews of 20 songs are scraped from YouTube,pre-processed and formed a dataset.Different machine learning algorithms—Naïve Bayes(NB),Gradient Boost Tree,Logistic Regression LR,K-Nearest Neighbors(KNN)and Artificial Neural Network(ANN)are applied.ANN performed the best with 74.99%accuracy.Results are validated using K-Fold.
文摘The COVID-19 pandemic has a significant impact on the global economy and health.While the pandemic continues to cause casualties in millions,many countries have gone under lockdown.During this period,people have to stay within walls and become more addicted towards social networks.They express their emotions and sympathy via these online platforms.Thus,popular social media(Twitter and Facebook)have become rich sources of information for Opinion Mining and Sentiment Analysis on COVID-19-related issues.We have used Aspect Based Sentiment Analysis to anticipate the polarity of public opinion underlying different aspects from Twitter during lockdown and stepwise unlock phases.The goal of this study is to find the feelings of Indians about the lockdown initiative taken by the Government of India to stop the spread of Coronavirus.India-specific COVID-19 tweets have been annotated,for analysing the sentiment of common public.To classify the Twitter data set a deep learning model has been proposed which has achieved accuracies of 82.35%for Lockdown and 83.33%for Unlock data set.The suggested method outperforms many of the contemporary approaches(long shortterm memory,Bi-directional long short-term memory,Gated Recurrent Unit etc.).This study highlights the public sentiment on lockdown and stepwise unlocks,imposed by the Indian Government on various aspects during the Corona outburst.
文摘To address the difficulty of training high-quality models in some specific domains due to the lack of fine-grained annotation resources, we propose in this paper a knowledge-integrated cross-domain data generation method for unsupervised domain adaptation tasks. Specifically, we extract domain features, lexical and syntactic knowledge from source-domain and target-domain data, and use a masking model with an extended masking strategy and a re-masking strategy to obtain domain-specific data that remove domain-specific features. Finally, we improve the sequence generation model BART and use it to generate high-quality target domain data for the task of aspect and opinion co-extraction from the target domain. Experiments were performed on three conventional English datasets from different domains, and our method generates more accurate and diverse target domain data with the best results compared to previous methods.

文摘For the existing aspect category sentiment analysis research,most of the aspects are given for sentiment extraction,and this pipeline method is prone to error accumulation,and the use of graph convolutional neural network for aspect category sentiment analysis does not fully utilize the dependency type information between words,so it cannot enhance feature extraction.This paper proposes an end-to-end aspect category sentiment analysis(ETESA)model based on type graph convolutional networks.The model uses the bidirectional encoder representation from transformers(BERT)pretraining model to obtain aspect categories and word vectors containing contextual dynamic semantic information,which can solve the problem of polysemy;when using graph convolutional network(GCN)for feature extraction,the fusion operation of word vectors and initialization tensor of dependency types can obtain the importance values of different dependency types and enhance the text feature representation;by transforming aspect category and sentiment pair extraction into multiple single-label classification problems,aspect category and sentiment can be extracted simultaneously in an end-to-end way and solve the problem of error accumulation.Experiments are tested on three public datasets,and the results show that the ETESA model can achieve higher Precision,Recall and F1 value,proving the effectiveness of the model.
文摘This paper aims to reframe sustainability as an ethical aspect of the theory-practice gap in business and management education for sustainable development,which should be viewed as an integral part of knowledge produced and disseminated in business schools.The paper adopts a narrative approach to review the relevant literature on two streams of research,namely,the theory-practice gap and sustainability in reforming business schools.The synthesis and discussion of the existing literature suggest that while sustainability is frequently viewed with an ethical sentiment,the existing research overlooks its significance in bringing together knowledge and practice in business schools.This paper highlights the potential of sustainability as a theoretical lens in bridging the theory-practice gap in business schools;proposing to rethink the conceptual space that lies in ethics for further theoretical developments.The author urges business and management scholars to engage in burgeoning debates on business school reforms relating to the theory-practice gap and sustainability with an emphasis on ethics.The author contends that the neglected theoretical linkages between the theory-practice gap and sustainability provide fruitful directions for future research.Through a moral lens,business schools can move toward responsible management education for a more sustainable future.
