For the traditional data cleaning algorithms mainly fill up the data based on the space-time relevance in the data level, they are not suitable for RFID application scenarios with track information based on multi-logical areas. This paper proposed a track data filling algorithm based on movement recency by studying the characteristics of RFID track data. This algorithm maintains a track event tree according to the historical data, to predict the future data and guide the data cleaning. Also it considers the effect on the movement rules from time factor and brings in the ageing factor for maintaining the track event tree, which improved the predict accuracy of the tree and raise the veracity of the filling algorithm.

An analysis of the principles of democracy was carried out. The objective was to delineate the extent to which the Nigerian state is democratic and how its current democratic ideals could impact on its future existence as a state. The method adopted for the study was that of content analysis, which involved conceptual and historical analyses of textual data. It was discovered from historical data that the Nigerian state runs a system of government, which promotes internal colonialism of the minority groups by the major ones. This political imbalance was shown to create social and political tension, where the peripheral groups were hostile to the core regions. It was recommended in the study that if the Nigerian state is to subsist in the future, then it has to restructure its political institutions to promote true federalism as well as imbibe and practice standard democratic ideals.Keywords: Democratic ideal, Nigeria, Hope, Future

Bank are financial institutions that play a role in supporting economic development in a region, where the activitiesof raising funds and channeling funds in the form of loans or lending is a from of money circulation to stabilize the economy. The purpose of this study was to conduct an analysis of the level of bank financial health of the PT. Bank Perkreditan Rakyat (BPR) Batang Palangki, for the years 2014-2018. Historical data is taken from bank financial reports that have been published. Analysis of bank financial soundness using the CAMEL method (Capital, Assets, Management, Earning, Liquidity). The results showed that the 2014-2018 PT. BPR Batang Palangki financial health level showed a healthy category, where the average value of the CAR ratio was 28,66%, the KAP ratio was 1,15%, the NPM ratio was 24,88%, the ROA ratio was 3,38%, BOPO ratio of 74,83%, and LDR ratio of 56,30%. It is expected that in the in the future BPR Batang Palangki can continue to maintained according to the provisions that apply.

Abstract This study investigates whether there is a relation between the semantics of linguistic expressions that indicate temporal distance and the spatial properties of their co-speech gestures. To this date, research on time gestures has focused on features such as gesture axis, direction, and shape. Here we focus on a gesture property that has been overlooked so far: the distance of the gesture in relation to the body. To achieve this, we investigate two types of temporal linguistic expressions are addressed: proximal (e.g., near future, near past) and distal (e.g., distant past, distant future). Data was obtained through the NewsScape library, a multimodal corpus of television news. A total of 121 co-speech gestures were collected and divided into the two categories. The gestures were later annotated in terms of gesture space and classified in three categories: (i) center, (ii) periphery, and (iii) extreme periphery. Our results suggest that gesture and language are coherent in the expression of temporal distance: when speakers locate an event far from them, they tend to gesture further from their body; similarly, when locating an event close to them, they gesture closer to their body. These results thus reveal how co-speech gestures also reflect a space-time mapping in the dimension of distance.

With the increasing number of XML documents in varied domains, it has become essential to identify ways of finding interesting information from these documents. Data mining techniques can be used to derive this interesting information. However, mining of XML documents is impacted by the data model used in data representation due to the semi-structured nature of these documents. In this chapter, we present an overview of the various models of XML documents representations, how these models are used for mining, and some of the issues and challenges inherent in these models. In addition, this chapter also provides some insights into the future data models of XML documents for effectively capturing its two important features, structure and content, for mining.

This chapter explores the question, posed by Svetlana Boym in The Future of Nostalgia, ‘How can one be homesick for a home that one never had?’ Its focus is Woody Allen’s 2011 film Midnight in Paris, the director’s most overt and sustained meditation on nostalgia, and the most wooing. The film concerns a twenty-first-century Hollywood screenwriter, Gil Pender, who stumbles effortlessly through the space-time continuum to find himself (in both senses) among Gertrude Stein’s Lost Generation, a world he has always believed to be his spiritual home. Through Gil’s time-travelling odyssey, Allen probes the allure and the perils of nostalgia; he shows how nostalgia relies on impossibility or absence to feed it, to lend it piquancy and artistic efficacy. The chapter also examines the Lost Generation’s propulsive nostalgia which was spawned by a tremendous sense of rootlessness and flux, and why the Odyssey was a guiding text for expatriates like Joyce, Hemingway, and Fitzgerald.

Heraclitus declares the being (that which exists, nature) but identifies it with becoming, but Parmenides declares just the Being; only what is, is, what is not, is not. All “follows” from that: change, he argues, is logically impossible and so what is, is one and unchangeable! This dazzling absolute monism is in daring disagreement with sense perception, but curiously it has found a well-known genius as a supporter. Emboldened by his theory of relativity, Einstein considers the universe as a four-dimensional “block” (a space-time continuum like a loaf of bread) which, remarkably, contains all moments of time (of past, present, and future) always, and where change is an illusion. He said, “For we convinced physicists, the distinction between past, present, and future is only an illusion, however persistent.” In the block universe, the past is not gone, it is present; and the future, like the present, is, well, present, too.
