The air quality is directly related to people’s lives. This paper selects air quality data of Sichuan Province as the research object, and explores the inherent characteristics of air quality from the perspective of complex network theory. First, based on the complexity of network topology and nodes, a community detection algorithm which combines the clustering idea with principal component analysis (PCA) algorithm and self-organization competitive neural network (SOM) is designed (CSP). Compared with the classic community detection algorithm, the result proves that the CSP algorithm can accurately dig out a better community structure. Second, based on the strong correlation distance and strong correlation coefficient of the air quality network, the Sichuan Air Quality Complex Network (SCCN) was constructed. The SCCN is divided into five communities using the CSP algorithm. Combining the characteristics of each community and the Hurst coefficient, it is found that the air quality inside the community has long-term memory. Finally, based on the idea of time-dependent cross-correlation, this paper analyzes the cross-correlation of AQI time series of different stations in each community, constructs a directed air quality cross-correlation network combined with complex network theory, and locates the important pollution sources in each region of Sichuan Province according to the topological structure of the network. The work of this paper can provide the corresponding theoretical support and guidance for the current environmental pollution control.

The use of classic dimension reduction techniques can be considered customary practice within the context of data mining (DM). Nevertheless, although artificial neural networks (ANNs) are one of the most important DM techniques, specific ANN architectures for dimensionality reduction, such as the principal components analysis ANN (PCA-ANN) and the linear auto-associative ANN (LA-ANN), are used on far fewer occasions. In this study, categorical principal component analysis (CATPCA) and the two ANN procedures are studied and compared searching for uniqueness in an applied context relative to personality variables and drug consumption. A sample of 7,030 adolescents completed a personality test made up of 20 dichotomous items with a hypothesized four-factor latent model. Results point out that both ANN factor solutions converge to those obtained using CATPCA. Nevertheless, possible drawbacks of the ANN techniques lie in their relatively complex application, as well as in the need to use visual graphic analysis as a support for interpreting the factorized solutions.

Maladaptive Behaviours

Maladaptive behaviours of students with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is negative behaviours, which disturb a learning process in the classroom. This study was conducted to identify the use of the behavior contract in reducing maladaptive behaviors in students with ADHD in Al Firdaus Elementary School Surakarta, Indonesia. Subject of this study was a third grade ADHD student. The Single Subject Research (SSR) with multiple baseline cross variables design was applied as experimental method. The target behaviors were directly observed, recorded in the instrument and analyzed by visual graphic analysis method. At the baseline-1 phase, the target behavior of verbally disrupting friends occured on average 20 times, while nonverbal disruption occured 24 times. The target behavior in the intervention -1 phase tended decrease, with an average of 5 times (verbal) and 4 times (nonverbal). At the baseline-2 phase, the target behavior of interrupting the teacher’s explanation occured on average 18 times. This behavior decreased in the intervention-2 phase with an average of 3 times. At the baseline-3 phase, the target behavior of unable to resist eating and drinking occured on average 10 times. At the intervention-3 phase, the behavior occured on average once. It can be concluded that the behavior contract may reduce maladaptive behaviors of student with ADHD.

Supraaortic Vessels

The subclavian steal effect indicates atherosclerotic disease of the supraaortic vessels but rarely causes cerebrovascular events in itself. Noninvasive imaging providing detailed anatomic as well as hemodynamic information would therefore be desirable. From a group of 25 consecutive patients referred for MR angiography, four with absent or highly attenuated signal in one of the vertebral arteries on 3D multislab time-of-flight MR angiography were selected to undergo 3D time-resolved contrast-enhanced MR angiography. The time-resolved 3D contrast series (source images and MIPs) were evaluated visually and by graphic analysis of time-intensity curves derived from the respective V1 and V3 segments of both vertebral arteries on the source images. In two cases with high-grade proximal left subclavian stenosis, time-resolved 3D ce-MRA was able to visualise retrograde contrast filling of the left VA. There was a marked delay in time-to-peak between the left and right V1 segments in one case and a shallower slope of enhancement in another. In the other two cases, there was complete or collateralised segmental occlusion of the VAs.

Legal Battle

Throughout the nineteenth century, European booksellers and publishers, mostly from France, England, Germany and Spain, produced textual materials in Europe and introduced them into Mexico and other Latin American countries. These transatlantic interchanges unfolded against the backdrop of the emergence of the international legal system to protect translation rights and required the involvement of a complex network of agents who carried with them publishing, translating and negotiating practices, in addition to books, pamphlets, prints and other goods. Tracing the trajectories of translated books and the socio-cultural, economic and legal forces shaping them, this article examines the legal battle over the translation and publishing rights of Les Leçons de chimie élémentaire, a chemistry book authored by Jean Girardin and translated and published in Spanish by Jean-Frédéric Rosa. Drawing on a socio-historical approach to translation, I argue that the arguments presented by both parties are indicative of the uncertainty surrounding the legal status of translated texts and of the different values then attributed to translation.

The Way

Job (Ayyūb) is a byword for patience in the Islamic tradition, notwithstanding only six Qur'anic verses are devoted to him, four in Ṣād (vv.41-4), and two in al-Anbiyā' (vv.83-4), and he is mentioned on only two other occasions, in al-Ancām (v.84) and al-Nisā' (v.163). In relation to the space devoted to him, he could be accounted a ‘lesser’ prophet, nevertheless his significance in the Qur'an is unambiguous. The impact he makes is achieved in a number of ways. One is through the elaborate intertext transmitted from the Companions and Followers, and recorded in the exegetic tradition. Another is the way in which his role and charisma are highlighted by the prophets in whose company he is presented, and the shifting emphases of each of the sūras in which he appears. Yet another is the wider context created by these sūras in which key words and phrases actualize a complex network of echoes and resonances that elicit internal and transsūra associations focusing attention on him from various perspectives. The effectiveness of this presentation of him derives from the linguistic genius of the Qur'an which by this means triggers a vivid encounter with aspects of the rhythm of divine revelation no less direct than that of visual iconography in the Western Tradition.

The Way

The philosophical and political aspects of Utopia have often shadowed the geographical and cartographical dimension of More’s work. Thus, I will try to shed light on this aspect of the book in order to lay emphasis on the links fostered between knowledge and space during the Renaissance. I shall try to show how More’s opusculum aureum, which is fraught with cartographical references, reifies what Germain Marc’hadour terms a “fictional archipelago” (“The Catalan World Atlas” (c. 1375) by Abraham Cresques ; Zuane Pizzigano’s portolano chart (1423); Martin Benhaim’s globe (1492); Martin Waldseemüller’s Cosmographiae Introductio (1507); Claudius Ptolemy’s Geographia (1513) ; Benedetto Bordone’s Isolario (1528) ; Diogo Ribeiro’s world map (1529) ; the Grand Insulaire et Pilotage (c.1586) by André Thevet). I will, therefore, uncover the narrative strategies used by Thomas More in a text which lies on a complex network of geographical and cartographical references. Finally, I will examine the way in which the frontispiece of the editio princeps of 1516, as well as the frontispiece of the third edition published by Froben at Basle in 1518, clearly highlight the geographical and cartographical aspect of More’s narrative.
