The fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0) dynamically shift the line between the work performed by humans and those performed by machines, technologies, algorithms and artificial intelligence. The author examines The Future of Jobs Report 2018 published by Centre for the New Economy Society of the World Economic Forum. He tries to argue that the current technological transformation in the next five years, 2018-2022, managed wisely may improved the quality and productivity of work performed by human employees. The problem is that many of employees afraid that robots, computers, modern technologies an AI will eliminate jobs performed by human beings. The Author argues that technology eliminates jobs, not work

With the digitization, the importance of content writing is being increased. This is due to the huge improvement in accessibility and the major impact of digital content on human beings. Due to veracity and huge demand for digital content, author profiling becomes a necessity to identify the correct person for particular content writing. This paper works on deep neural network models to identify the gender of author for any particular content. The analysis has been done on the corpus dataset by using artificial neural networks with different number of layers, long short term memory based Recurrent Neural Network (RNN), bidirectional long short term memory based RNN and attention-based RNN models using mean absolute error, root mean square error, accuracy, and loss as analysis parameters. The results of different epochs show the significance of each model.

Abstract The regular practice of using sodium chloride to preserve raw animal skin triggers increasing salinity and total dissolved solids (TDS) in the surface and groundwater during rehydration soaking operations. The process disrupts the lives of animals, plants, and human beings. This paper is focused on the phyto-based short-term preservation of goatskin to reduce salinity in tannery soaking operations. The indigenous Persicaria hydropiper leaf was investigated to assess the preservation of animal skin to diminish salinity and TDS of tannery soaking wastewater. Methanol extracted leaf was characterized by GC-MS and FTIR for chemical composition analysis and affiliated functional groups. Fresh goatskins were preserved at the preliminary, laboratory, and pilot-scale scenarios to establish the best possible mixture, monitor the moisture and nitrogen content, shrinkage temperature, microorganism analysis, and pollution load at each level. The processed leathers derived from the preserved skins with an optimal mixture of 10% leaf paste with 8% salt and conventional 50% salt were tested for their physical strength. Finally, the modification in fiber structure due to the varieties of preserving chemicals was evaluated through a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and detected insignificant variation of leather fibers. The findings reported in this study can be applied to the industrial level and remove certain amounts of salinity and TDS from tannery soaking wastewater.

Impacts Of Climate Change

Human beings are not psychologically well-equipped to prepare for the impacts of climate change. We are not good at dealing with dangers we have trouble picturing in our minds, and we often succumb to excessive optimism. Human beings are also reluctant to pay short-term costs that are certain in exchange for future, uncertain benefits. Given the enormity of the climate resilience challenge, this chapter outlines how citizens are at risk of feeling overwhelmed and therefore paralyzed by the scope of the problem. If we are going to build resilience to climate change successfully, it argues, we are going to have to work around these cognitive limitations. Human nature is hard, if not impossible to change, so it is best to deploy a variety of approaches and “nudges” that work with human nature, not against it.

PurposeThis study intends to identify factors that affect relevance judgment of retrieved information as part of the 2007 TREC Legal track interactive task.Design/methodology/approachData were gathered and analyzed from the participants of the 2007 TREC Legal track interactive task using a questionnaire which includes not only a list of 80 relevance factors identified in prior research, but also a space for expressing their thoughts on relevance judgment in the process.FindingsThis study finds that topicality remains a primary criterion, out of various options, for determining relevance, while specificity of the search request, task, or retrieved results also helps greatly in relevance judgment.Research limitations/implicationsRelevance research should focus on the topicality and specificity of what is being evaluated as well as conducted in real environments.Practical implicationsIf multiple relevance factors are presented to assessors, the total number in a list should be below ten to take account of the limited processing capacity of human beings' short‐term memory. Otherwise, the assessors might either completely ignore or inadequately consider some of the relevance factors when making judgment decisions.Originality/valueThis study presents a method for reducing the artificiality of relevance research design, an apparent limitation in many related studies. Specifically, relevance judgment was made in this research as part of the 2007 TREC Legal track interactive task rather than a study devised for the sake of it. The assessors also served as searchers so that their searching experience would facilitate their subsequent relevance judgments.

The Creation

Education is one of the central concerns of Muslims. Islamic education is the guidance of spiritual and physical growth according to the teachings of Islam with the wisdom of directing, teaching, training, nurturing and supervising the enactment of all Islamic teachings. The ultimate goal of Islamic education is the creation of human beings (perfect human beings), are human beings capable of harmonizing and meeting the needs of the world and the hereafter and the physical, psychological, social, and spiritual needs. So the orientation of Islamic education in addition to fulfilling short-term life needs such as the fulfillment of worldly needs also meet the long-term life needs such as fulfillment needs in the hereafter. The essence of Islamic education is an endless process in line with the universal consensus established by Allah and His Messenger

Increased Pressure

Despite the frequency with which the term is used in the English language, there is relatively little agreement as to what constitutes a “crisis” in the study of foreign policy and international relations. If there is no broad agreement on this, however, there is at least more consensus on what usually happens during one. Crises typically involve the centralization of power, are associated with a “narrowing” of options and the increased use of analytical shortcuts, and typically feature increased vertical communications and argumentation among advisers as well as increased pressure to attain comprehensive rationality. There is some doubt as to whether the effort to attain rationality will be successful in practice, of course, given the many cognitive psychological limitations that make it difficult for human beings to reach fully reasoned decisions. Crises may—somewhat ironically, perhaps—be good for leaders, because in the short-term they offer the chance to increase power capabilities. While it is difficult to predict crises in advance—indeed, one of the central features of crises is their very unpredictability—various techniques may help the decision making process once a foreign policy crisis has begun.

Toxicological Significance

We describe here an angiomyomatous hamartoma in the right axillary lymph node of a three-year-old male cynomolgus monkey ( Macaca fascicularis), used as a control subject in a short-term toxicity study. This is a very rare lesion that has been reported almost exclusively in inguinal lymph nodes, and to date only in human beings. In the present case, light microscopy revealed partial replacement of the lymph node parenchyma by a disorganized, irregular vascular network, sparsely distributed smooth muscle cells, and a fibro-adipocytic stroma. This was considered to be fortuitous given the age of the animal, with no clinical or toxicological significance. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of an intranodal angiomyomatous hamartoma in a nonhuman animal species.

THE development of satisfactory procedures for the propagation of mumps virus in the chick embryo has brought within reach the possibility of immunization against the disease. Before discussing the various approaches to prevention of mumps, it is well to define clearly the need for such vaccines and who should be vaccinated. Mumps on the whole is a childhood disease and usually mild when restricted to the salivary glands. In the adult the disease may be more severe, particularly on account of socalled complications such as the involvement of the reproductive glands in the male. In view of this experience vaccination of children should be attempted only if (a) a prolonged immunity can be attained or (b) if certain other clinical conditions in the child render an attack of mumps undesirable at a particular time. In the latter case as well as in adults vaccination may he considered of value even if only a short term immunity can be induced. Vaccines appear desirable for susceptible parents, for instance, who have been exposed by their children, for hospital staffs in contact with mumps patients, and for college students or military personnel, where outbreaks of the disease may interrupt the normal course of training. A second point to be considered concerns the question of susceptibility. It has been well established, particularly since the advent of specific immunologic procedures, that mumps virus causes overt disease in about two thirds of human beings; in the other third the infection remains inapparent but nevertheless induces permanent immunity.
