Abstract:

AbstractEvidence-based health promotion and disease prevention require incorporating evidence of the effectiveness of interventions into policy and practice. With the entry into force of the German Act to Strengthen Health Promotion and Prevention (PrävG), interventions that take place in people’s everyday living environments have gained in importance. Decision-makers need to assess whether an evidence-based intervention is transferable to their specific target context. The Federal Centre for Health Education (BZgA) recommends that transferability of an intervention should be clarified before any decision to implement it. Furthermore, transferability needs to be finally determined after an evaluation in the target context. In this article, we elaborate on theoretical and practical implications of the concept of transferability for health promotion and disease prevention based on the Population–Intervention–Environment–Transfer Models of Transferability (PIET-T). We discuss how decision-makers can anticipate transferability prior to the intervention transfer with the help of transferability criteria and how they can take transferability into account in the further process. This includes the steps of the analysis of a health problem and identification of effective interventions, the steps of the initial transferability assessment and identification of the need for adaptation, and the steps of the implementation and evaluation. Considering transferability is a complex task that comes with challenges. But it offers opportunities to select a suitable intervention for a target context and, in the transfer process, to understand the conditions under which the intervention works in this context. This knowledge helps to establish an evidence base, which is practically relevant.

Abstract:

In any system of property law a complete specification of rights and duties raises at least two questions. First, allocation of rights and duties inter se between the parties to the transaction; secondly, the rights and duties of the parties to the original transaction against the rest of the world. The traditional common law analysis where a third party wishes to acquire an indefeasible interest in a chattel is to direct the latter to the ‘owner’ and indeed the prerequisite for the enjoyment of most property rights depends upon our ability to acquire it from someone else. Furthermore, inherent in the idea of acquiring an absolute right in property (title) is exclusivity of possession ie superiority over the transferor and third parties.

Abstract:

Microsatellite markers (simple sequence repeats, SSRs) are used for a wide range of crop genetic and breeding applications, including genetic diversity assessment, phylogenetic analysis, genotypic profiling and marker-assisted selection. Genomic SSR (gSSR) have attracted more attention because of abundance in plant genome, reproducibility, high level of polymorphism and codominant inheritance. Recently, the availability of data for expressed sequence tags (EST), has given more emphasis to EST-derived SSRs, which belong to the transcribed regions of DNA, and are expected to be more conserved and have a higher transferability rate across species than gSSR markers. In the present study, several gSSR and EST-SSR markers were investigated for their transferability and level of DNA polymorphism in different ancestral tetraploid and diploid Triticum and Aegilops species. The same gSSR and EST-SSR markers were also evaluated for their applicability in the phylogenetic analysis of wheat. Both gSSR and EST-SSR markers showed differences for the average transferability rate and the number of alleles/locus. Phylogenetic trees based on gSSR and EST-SSR markers were in accordance with phylogenetic relations based on cytogenetic and molecular analyses.

Abstract:

Abstract Safety performance functions (SPFs), or crash-prediction models, have played an important role in identifying the factors contributing to crashes, predicting crash counts and identifying hotspots. Since a great deal of time and effort is needed to estimate an SPF, previous studies have sought to determine the transferability of particular SPFs; that is, the extent to which they can be applied to data from other regions. Although many efforts have been made to examine micro-level SPF transferability, few studies have focused on macro-level SPF transferability. There has been little transferability analysis of macro-level SPFs in the international context, especially between western countries. This study therefore evaluates the transferability of SPFs for several states in the USA (Illinois, Florida and Colorado) and for Italy. The SPFs were developed using data from counties in the United States and provincias in Italy, and the results revealed multiple common significant variables between the two countries. Transferability indexes were then calculated between the SPFs. These showed that the Italy SPFs for total crashes and bicycle crashes were transferable to US data after calibration factors were applied, whereas the US SPFs for total and bicycle crashes, with the exception of the Colorado SPF, could not be transferred to the Italian data. On the other hand, none of the pedestrian SPFs developed was transferable to other countries. This paper provides insights into the applicability of macro-level SPFs between the USA and Italy, and shows a good potential for international SPF transferability. Nevertheless, further investigation is needed of SPF transferability between a wider range of countries.

Abstract:

Microsimulation models are widespread for the analysis of roundabouts operational performance providing realistic modelling of vehicle movements. These models are based on many independent parameters to describe traffic and driver behaviour, which need to be calibrated in order to better match field data. In practice, despite the well-recognized importance of calibration and validation processes, simulation is conducted under default values because of difficulties in field data collection and deficiency in available guidelines. These issues can be faced by using transferability methodologies that allow applying the parameters calibrated for a case study to other similar locations. Therefore, this paper investigates the suitability of the transferability procedure adopting both the application-based and estimation-based approaches, by considering two roundabouts and a microsimulation tool. A Genetic Algorithm technique was used to determine the best estimates of these model parameters. After that, the authors compared field-measured with simulated queue lengths, considering four different scenarios. The results show that the application of Wiedemann 99 parameters calibrated for the first case study to the second one allows reducing the RMSNE more than 50%, thus confirming an acceptable level of transferability of these parameters between the two case studies.

Abstract:

The international literature hypothesized a “U-shaped” pattern of immigrants’ occupational trajectories from origin to destination countries due to the imperfect transferability of human capital. However, empirical evidence supporting this hypothesis is available only in single-country studies and for “old,” Anglo-Saxon migration countries with deregulated labor markets. This article compares Italy, Spain, and France, providing evidence that the more segmented the labor market, the higher immigrants’ occupational downgrade on arrival, independently from skills transferability and other individual characteristics. Paradoxically, the more segmented the labor market, the more important the acquisition of host-country specific human capital for subsequent upward mobility.

Abstract:

The implementation of the pedagogical model has meant an increase in rigour and coherence in Physical Education (PE) classes. The objectives of the study were twofold; (a) to delimit the characteristics and elements that make up Attitudinal Style as a pedagogical model; (b) to analyze the perception of future teachers on the usefulness and transferability of the model in their classes. Twelve future PE teachers (seven women and five men) with an age of 20.14 ± 1.48 participated. All of them were part of the University of Burgos (Spain). A qualitative approach was used with two data collection instruments (reflective group journals and discussion group) and two categories of analysis were established: (a) usefulness in the construction of professional identity; (b) transferability of the Attitudinal Style in the school. The results showed how future PE teachers consider the model as a transcendental methodological tool in understanding and addressing PE at school. Interpersonal relationships in the classroom, student autonomy and group responsibility are highlighted as necessary aspects with high transferability to the school.

Abstract:

IntroductionThe European Network for Health Technology Assessment (EUnetHTA) has led together, with member states, several joint actions, including Joint Clinical Assessments (JCA), under the form of project-based voluntary cooperation, which outputs and transferability of those projects in other European countries remains somehow limited. In June 2021, the European Council has reached an agreement on the European Health Technology Assessment (HTA) regulation, which is entering into force gradually. Initially limited to oncology products, then extended to orphan/advanced therapy, and after a five to eight-year additional period, it will apply to all centrally approved products. The JCA will consist of a focused scientific analysis on relative effectiveness assessment, including the health condition, technology description, clinical effectiveness, and safety. These analyses will also include information relating to the degree of certainty. We consider that the evidence appraisal might have limitations, and transferability would not be generalizable. We aim to determine the potential drivers and barriers for HTA transferability in EU4, employing the analysis of a case example where JCA was conducted.MethodsEmploying an oncology JCA, we will compare an HTA analysis conducted in EU4 countries (Germany, France, Italy, and Spain). Overview and background information on countries involved in the JCA, and EU4 HTA system will be provided, followed by HTA outcome and main evidence requirements, reimbursement outcome, and pricing agreements.ResultsStudy results supporting HTA outcomes may focus on the population assessed, the comparator considered, and uncertainty management. A conceptual adaptation about the scope of the EU JCA regulation will be discussed, to understand its potential advantages to individual HTAs in Europe and remaining gaps to effectively inform HTA or decision-making process.ConclusionsThe analysis of pricing and reimbursement outcomes can further help understand potential barriers and drivers for JCA transferability and potential areas of evidence generation requirements.

Abstract:

In many transportation studies, the time span of data collection, model development, and analysis is often too long to be responsive to the needs of policy analysts and decision makers. This problem is often exacerbated in situations with severely constrained analysis resources. Therefore, it is often useful to transfer a model from one area to another. Model transfer is defined as the application of a model developed in one area to describe the corresponding behavior in another area. This paper examines the transferability of a class of models used in intercity travel demand analysis. Specifically, disaggregate mode choice models of the multinomial logit type are developed for two regions in Canada, and some established measures of transferability are applied to assess the potential of calibrating these models in one region and applying them in the other. Comparison of mode choice models estimated on data sets from the two regions yielded inconclusive results regarding model transferability. In general, transferred models were found to be 18–23% less accurate than local models in predicting modal shares. Adjusting models' parameters to reflect observed modal shares in the application context improved the predictive ability of the models by about 10%. Key words: transferability, mode choice, disaggregate, travel behavior, multinomial logit, intercity.

Abstract:

AbstractSpecies distribution modeling is a tool that is gaining widespread use in the projection of future distributions of invasive species and has important potential as a tool for monitoring invasive species spread. However, the transferability of models from one area to another has been inadequately investigated. This study aimed to determine the degree to which species distribution models (SDMs) for cogongrass, developed with distribution data from Mississippi (USA), could be applied to a similar area in neighboring Alabama. Cogongrass distribution data collected in Mississippi were used to train an SDM that was then tested for accuracy and transferability with cogongrass distribution data collected by a forest management company in Alabama. Analyses indicated the SDM had a relatively high predictive ability within the region of the training data but had poor transferability to the Alabama data. Analysis of the Alabama data, via independent SDM development, indicated that predicted cogongrass distribution in Alabama was more strongly correlated with soil variables than was the case in Mississippi, where the SDM was most strongly correlated with tree canopy cover. Results suggest that model transferability is influenced strongly by (1) data collection methods, (2) landscape context of the survey data, and (3) variations in qualitative aspects of environmental data used in model development.

Abstract:

Expressed sequence tags (ESTs) are important resource for gene discovery, gene expression and its regulation, molecular marker development, and comparative genomics. We procured 10000 ESTs and analyzed 267 EST-SSRs markers through computational approach. The average density was one SSR/10.45 kb or 6.4% frequency, wherein trinucleotide repeats (66.74%) were the most abundant followed by di- (26.10%), tetra- (4.67%), penta- (1.5%), and hexanucleotide (1.2%) repeats. Functional annotations were done and after-effect newly developed 63 EST-SSRs were used for cross transferability, genetic diversity, and bulk segregation analysis (BSA). Out of 63 EST-SSRs, 42 markers were identified owing to their expansion genetics across 20 different plants which amplified 519 alleles at 180 loci with an average of 2.88 alleles/locus and the polymorphic information content (PIC) ranged from 0.51 to 0.93 with an average of 0.83. The cross transferability ranged from 25% for wheat to 97.22% for Schlerostachya, with an average of 55.86%, and genetic relationships were established based on diversification among them. Moreover, 10 EST-SSRs were recognized as important markers between bulks of pooled DNA of sugarcane cultivars through BSA. This study highlights the employability of the markers in transferability, genetic diversity in grass species, and distinguished sugarcane bulks.

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> Mapping of agricultural land use/cover was initiated since the past several decades for land use planning, change detection analysis, crop yield monitoring etc. using earth observation datasets and traditional parametric classifiers. Recently, machine learning, cloud computing, Google Earth Engine (GEE) and open source earth observation datasets widely used for fast, cost-efficient and precise agricultural land use/cover mapping and change detection analysis. Main objective of this study was to assess the transferability of the machine learning algorithms for land use/cover mapping using cloud computing and open source earth observation datasets. In this study, the Landsat TM (L5, L8) of 2018, 2009 and 1998 were selected and median reflectance of spectral bands in Kharif and Rabi season were used for the classification. In addition, three important machine learning algorithms such as Support Vector Machine with Radial Basis Function (SVM-RBF), Random forest (RF) and Classification and Regression Tree (CART) were selected to evaluate the performance in transferability for agricultural land use classification using GEE. Seven land use/cover classes such as built-up, cropland, fallow land, vegetation etc. were selected based on literature review and local land use classification scheme. In this classification, several strategies were employed such as feature extraction, feature selection, parameter tuning, sensitivity analysis on size of training samples, transferability analysis to assess the performance of the selected machine learning algorithms for land use/cover classification. The result shows that SVM-RBF outperforms the RF and CART for both spatial and temporal transferability analysis. This result is very helpful for agriculture and remote sensing scientist to suggest promising guideline to land use planner and policy-makers for efficient land use mapping, change detection analysis, land use planning and natural resource management.</p>

Abstract:

ObjectiveThe Melancholia Scale (MES) consists of the psychic core items of the Hamilton Depression Scale (HAM-D6) (depressed mood, interests, psychic anxiety, general somatic, guilt feelings, and psychomotor retardation) and the neuropsychiatric items of the Cronholm–Ottossen Depression Scale. Patients resistant to anti-depressant medication (therapy-resistant depression) have participated in our trials with non-pharmacological augmentation. On the basis of these trials, we have evaluated to what extent the neuropsychiatric subscale of the MES (concentration difficulties, fatigability, emotional introversion, sleep problems, and decreased verbal communication) is a measure of severity of apathia when compared with the HAM-D6 subscale of the MES.MethodsWe have focused on rating sessions at baseline (week 0) and after 2 and 4 weeks of therapy in four clinical trials on therapy-resistant depression with the following augmentations: electroconvulsive therapy, bright light therapy, transcranial magnetic stimulation or pulsed electromagnetic fields, and wake therapy. The item response theory model constructed by Mokken has been used as the psychometric validation of unidimensionality. For the numerical evaluation of transferability, we have tested item ranks across the rating weeks.ResultsIn the Mokken analysis, the coefficient of homogeneity was above 0.40 for both the HAM-D subscale and the apathia subscale at week 4. The numerical transferability across the weeks was statistically significant (p < 0.05) for both subscales.ConclusionThe apathia subscale is a unidimensional scale with acceptable transferability for the measurement of treatment-resistant symptoms, analogue to the psychic core subscale (HAM-D6).

Abstract:

The impact of trucks on road traffic safety has been extensively studied, but the factors influencing truck crash injury severity have not yet been examined from the quarterly perspective. Crash data for Shandong Province in China for 10 years (2012–2021) were reviewed to investigate the transferability of the determinants of the severity of truck crash injuries in four quarters. Three injury severity levels were considered and a random parameters logit model (RPL) considering the heterogeneity of means and variances was constructed to assess the factors affecting the severity of crash injury. The significant variables were explored from the influencing factors of driver, vehicle, crash type, road, environment, and temporal characteristics. A likelihood ratio test was employed to assess the transferability of the crash model over four quarters, and we used marginal effects to analyze the stability of the influencing factors. The results indicated that there was instability among the four quarterly variables that had to be modeled separately. There were also some variables, such as heavy vehicle and multiple-vehicle crashes, that simultaneously affected the severity of truck crash injuries across the four quarters, but the degree of impact was different. The results could enable engineers and policy makers to better formulate management rules and propose appropriate measures according to quarterly changes.

Abstract:

Aim/Purpose: A vital business activity within organizations is tacit knowledge (TK) transfer. This work aims to propose a novel framework for TK transferability in multinational corporations (MNCs) from the information and communication technology (ICT) perspective. Background: In the past two decades, researchers have developed several frameworks for TK transfer based on humanistic, business, and educational perspectives. However, a review of the existing work revealed that TK transfer has seldom been examined from an ICT perspective. Methodology: A qualitative method was adopted because it was considered the most appropriate for the research requirements. A grounded theory approach was employed to generate the items that potentially affect the transferability of TK. Face-to-face semi-structured interviews were conducted to collect data, along with observations when possible. The study sample consisted of 20 expert interviewees in Malaysia. An inductive ongoing data analysis process based on grounded theory via open, axial, and selective coding was used as the primary analysis method. In addition, comparative and frequency count analyses were used to examine the collected data. Contribution: The main contribution of this study is its use of the grounded theory approach, which resulted in the generation of items that affect the transferability of TK, not all of which had been identified by previous researchers. This paper reports one of the few inductive studies conducted on TK transferability among MNCs and, therefore, makes distinct contributions to the literature on TK management, specifically bringing to the fore the intricacies involved in TK transferability. Findings: Information and communication technology plays a crucial role in and has a positive impact on TK transfer in MNCs. This study evaluated the potential of various ICT channels to facilitate TK transfer. The findings show that ICT tools cannot completely substitute for face-to-face contact. Tacit knowledge that has a high degree of complexity requires sophisticated channel features for its transfer. From this standpoint, virtual face-to-face communication is the richest communication medium in the ICT hierarchy. On the other hand, email and voicemail are less effective channels for TK transfer, while synchronous groupware is an intermediate communication medium. The findings highlight the importance of utilizing an appropriate mix of channels to improve TK transferability. Recommendations for Practitioners: It is recommended that practitioners consider the diverse aspects of TK and the potential of a range of ICT channels for the TK transfer process in order to increase the efficiency of TK transfer. The analytic categories developed in this study may give managers new insights into and a better understanding of how TK can be supported in a modern organization and how to overcome the barriers to TK transfer.

Abstract:

Abstract Forecasting the spread and potential impacts of invasive, alien species is vital to relevant management and policy decisions. Models that estimate areas of potential suitability are useful to guide early detection and eradication, inform effective budget allocations, and justify quarantine regulations. Machine-learning is a rapidly emerging technology with myriad applications, including the analysis of factors that govern species’ distributions. However, forecasts for invasive species often require extrapolation into novel spaces, which may severely erode model reliability. Using the popular machine-learning platform, MaxEnt, we integrate numerous tools and recommendations to demonstrate a method of rigorous model development that emphasizes assessment of model transferability. Our models use Lymantria dispar dispar (L.) (Lepidoptera: Erebidae), an insect brought to the United States in the late 1860s from Europe and subsequently well monitored in spread. Recent genetic analyses provide evidence that the eastern North American population originated in Germany, France, and northern Italy. We demonstrate that models built and assessed using typical methodology for invasive species (e.g., using records from the full native geographic range) showed the smallest extent of extrapolation, but the worst transferability when validated with independent data. Conversely, models based on the purported genetic source of the eastern North American populations (i.e., a subset of the native range) showed the greatest transferability, but the largest extent of extrapolation. Overall, the model that yielded high transferability to North America and low extrapolation was built following current recommendations of spatial thinning and parameter optimization with records from both the genetic source in Europe and early North American invasion.

Abstract:

Abstract The following analysis of the relationship between Verstehen (understanding) and Übersetzen (translation) continues reflections that Schleiermacher and Humboldt developed in the horizon of their hermeneutic program. In particular, this article examines concepts starting with Fremdheit (otherness), Hemmung (inhibition), Nichtverstehen (non-understanding), and Unübertragbarkeit (non-transferability). These terms mark the core theoretical problem of Schleiermacher’s and Humboldt’s idea of understanding and translation, which already conceptualizes understanding as a form of translation. A moment of inhibition is always already constitutively inscribed in the process of inner-language understanding. It repeatedly interrupts processes of understanding through moments of non-transferability, which triggers transcriptive processing procedures. Nontransferability does not refer to the restriction of a normally undisturbed transfer of meaning (i.e., to a communication defect), but rather to a condition of possibility of understanding meaning itself. Meaning is less built upon languagetranscendent resources than results from genuine linguistic procedures in which non-transferability is constitutively operative.

Abstract:

Purpose This paper aims to examine transferable skills and viable career transition pathways for hospitality and tourism workers. Future career prospects are discussed, along with the importance of reskilling for low-wage hospitality workers. Design/methodology/approach A network analysis is conducted to model skill relationships between the hospitality industry and other industries such as health-care and information technology. Multiple data are used in the analysis, including data from the US Department of Labor Occupational Information Network (O*NET), wage data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and job computerization data (Frey and Osborne, 2017). Findings Although hospitality workers have lower than average skills scores when compared to workers from other career clusters included in the analysis, they possess essential soft skills that are valuable in other industries. Therefore, improving hospitality workers’ existing soft skills may help them enhance their cross-sector mobility, which may allow them to obtain jobs with a lower likelihood of computerization. Practical implications The findings shed light on workforce development theories and practice in the hospitality industry by quantitatively analyzing cross-sector skill correlations. Sharpening transferable soft skills will be essential to enhancing hospitality workers’ career development opportunities. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study that specifically examines the skill taxonomy for the hospitality industry and identifies its connection with other in-demand career clusters.

Abstract:

Abstract Multimodel ensemble forecasting has been shown to offer a systematic improvement in the skill of climate prediction with atmosphere and ocean circulation models. However, little such work has been done for the land surface component, an important lower boundary for weather and climate forecast models. In this study, the authors examine and evaluate several methods of combining individual global soil wetness products from uncoupled land surface model calculations and coupled land–atmosphere model reanalyses to produce an ensemble analysis. Analyses are verified against observations from the Global Soil Moisture Data Bank (GSMDB) with skill measured by correlation coefficient and root-mean-square error (RMSE). A preliminary transferability study is conducted as well for investigating the feasibility of transferring ensemble regression parameters within two specific regions (Illinois and east-central China) and between these two regions of similar climate and land use. The results show that when sufficient validation data are available, one can use a seasonally dependent linear regression to improve the skill of any individual model simulation of soil wetness. Further improvements in skill can be achieved with more sophisticated ensembling methods, such as the regression-adjusted multimodel ensemble mean analysis and regression-adjusted multimodel analysis. However, all the ensembling schemes involving regression usually do not help improve the skill scores as far as the simulation of anomalies of soil wetness is concerned. In the absence of calibration data, the simple arithmetic ensemble mean across multiple soil wetness products generally does as well or better than the best individual model at any location in the representation of both soil wetness and its anomaly. Transferability from one subset of stations from the Illinois or east-central China dataset to another gives satisfactory results. However, results are poor when transferring regression weights between different regions, even with similar climate regimes and land cover. Such an exercise helps us to understand better the virtues and limitations of various ensembling techniques and enables progress toward creating an optimum, model-independent analysis from a practical point of view.

Abstract:

The use of molecular markers for the characterization and evaluation of plant genetic resources has become a useful approach in plant genetic research. Simple Sequence Repeats (SSRs) are among the markers that are widely used in genetic diversity and parental analysis owing to their co-dominant nature, high reproducibility, abundance in the genome and transferability across species or genera. The development of these markers for a species might be costly and time consuming. Hence, screening existing markers through transferability test from closely related species or family is resource conscious. In this study, the transferability of 90 polymorphic SSR markers of sorghum to bamboo was tested and polymorphic analysis of transferable markers were performed. Nearly 62% of the tested SSRs successfully recorded amplification in at least one bamboo species of which 55% were polymorphic. These polymorphic markers detected a total of 147 alleles at an average rate of 4.7 alleles per marker. The abundant alleles account 20.4% while the common and rare alleles share 39.6 and 40 %, respectively. The result showed a relatively low degree of polymorphic information content (PIC) averaging 0.29. The gene diversity index (He) ranged from 0.21 to 0.49 with a mean of 0.37. The cluster analysis based on the polymorphic markers surfaced most of the species in accordance with their geographic origin. The complementarity of the weighted neighbour joining tree and coordinate analysis implies the representative nature of the transferred markers for the diversity analysis of bamboo species.

Abstract:

Analogies and modelling have been developed and applied in learning and teaching science to facilitate students’ understanding of abstract concepts, such as atomic structure. Considering few studies focus on comparing the effects of two teaching strategies—analogy-based teaching (ABT) and modelling-based teaching (MBT)—this study aims to compare the effects of ABT and MBT on high school students’ content understanding and transferability of atomic concepts in science. Implementing a quasi-experimental design with pre-post-delayed tests, the study compared learning outcomes achieved by the MBT group (N = 68) and the ABT group (N = 69). The results showed both MBT and ABT could improve students’ content understanding and promote transferability. However, the MBT group significantly outperformed the ABT group in terms of generating initial models and overall transferability. Although there was no difference in content understanding, or near or far transferability, at post-test between the two groups, the MBT group maintained more extended memory of atomic structure on the delayed post-test. Moreover, qualitative analysis of students’ drawings of atomic models revealed that both groups were able to develop and transfer their models, but inadequate scientific knowledge affected the quality of the transfer product. These findings have implications for designing and implementing instructional approaches that leverage analogy and modelling in the science class.

Abstract:

Although deep-learning based video recognition models have achieved remarkable success, they are vulnerable to adversarial examples that are generated by adding human-imperceptible perturbations on clean video samples. As indicated in recent studies, adversarial examples are transferable, which makes it feasible for black-box attacks in real-world applications. Nevertheless, most existing adversarial attack methods have poor transferability when attacking other video models and transfer-based attacks on video models are still unexplored. To this end, we propose to boost the transferability of video adversarial examples for black-box attacks on video recognition models. Through extensive analysis, we discover that different video recognition models rely on different discriminative temporal patterns, leading to the poor transferability of video adversarial examples. This motivates us to introduce a temporal translation attack method, which optimizes the adversarial perturbations over a set of temporal translated video clips. By generating adversarial examples over translated videos, the resulting adversarial examples are less sensitive to temporal patterns existed in the white-box model being attacked and thus can be better transferred. Extensive experiments on the Kinetics-400 dataset and the UCF-101 dataset demonstrate that our method can significantly boost the transferability of video adversarial examples. For transfer-based attack against video recognition models, it achieves a 61.56% average attack success rate on the Kinetics-400 and 48.60% on the UCF-101.

Abstract:

Workers with low skill transferability risk longer unemployment spells between jobs and face higher probability of poorer working conditions. Those risks are particularly strong for professionals in the area of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), due to fast changing technologies and processes. The empirical analysis provided in this paper tests the borders of skill transferability for ICT employees by assessing the return to employer mobility for firm changers in the same industry and firm changers moving outside the ICT industry compared to firm stayers. The 1990-2004 empirical analysis is based on WHIP, a longitudinal dataset including a representative sample of employment relationships in Italy. The results show that firm changers benefit from a wage premium, provided that they remain in the ICT industry.

Abstract:

The present work describes a transferability analysis for soil and water bioengineering techniques as an instrument for sustainable erosion control in Central and South America based on an empirical data base from the last decades. In total, 31 case studies in Mexico, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Colombia, Ecuador and Brazil generated a database from an area where soil and water bioengineering techniques are not commonly used. The Transferability Analysis is structured in seven steps: (1) Objectives of the procedure, (2) Impacts of the measure, (3) Identification of up-scaling/down-scaling needs (4) Identification of the main phases and its components, (5) Identification of the level of importance of the components, (6) Assessment of the components in the context of the Take-Up Site and (7) Conclusions. For the assessment of soil and water bioengineering via the Transferability Analysis, in step 4 the following main phases have been identified from the data base: (a) Planning Phase, (b) Construction Phase, (c) Use Phase, as well as (d) End of Life Phase of a construction. Within these categories, 14 components have been defined: (a) know-how of soil and water bioengineering techniques, local climate conditions, botany, hydraulics, pedology; (b) materials, qualified labor, equipment and mechanical instruments, economic resources; (c) monitoring, efficiency, sustainability, maintenance; (d) replicability. The following assessment of the components allowed to determine key barriers, as well as key support factors for the transfer of soil and water bioengineering. As a result, barriers appeared to be the components qualified labor, equipment/mechanical instruments, hydraulics, know-how in soil and water bioengineering and pedology. Neither barriers, nor supporting key factors resulted to be the components local climate conditions, economic resources and efficiency. Supporting key factors for the transfer were materials, monitoring, sustainability, maintenance and replicability. The most important key factor of success was assessed to be botany, as various plant species with important characteristics for soil and water bioengineering are available in Central and South America, able to compensate the constraints through barriers in certain cases.

Abstract:

IntroductionAny technology submission for the high-cost treatment fund in Chile requires an economic evaluation; however, this is time consuming and given its high number, it is not possible to inform decisions within the established period of time. This presentation proposes a guide for the transferability of international economic evaluation results to our national context, with the intention to inform decision makers in a brief period of time.MethodsA literature review on transferability analysis, tools and instruments to perform transferability analysis and on how to assess quality of economic evaluations was conducted. In addition, a workshop was held to discuss the proposal with other relevant researchers, in order to receive feedback.ResultsThe proposed instrument is based on Welte and consists of: (i) a research question is formulated and a systematic review of economic evaluations is conducted, (ii) the three Welte knock-out criteria are applied to these results and, if these are met, the articles pass to the next stage, (iii) a scored comparison based on twelve criteria is conducted on the articles and each article is compared against the Chilean (economic) reference case, (iv) high-scored economic evaluations will be grouped according of their incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER). If all ICERs do not converge, to the same conclusion, the intervention would not be transferable. If the ICERs of these studies converge, then the results will be compared against the national threshold. If the ICERs are greater than the threshold, the intervention would not be cost-effective. If the ICERs are lower than the threshold, then the intervention would be cost-effective in Chile.ConclusionsDespite a de novo analysis still being the gold standard to inform decision makers, the proposed instrument could be used as an alternative, given the short time limit and the scarcity of qualified human resources.

Abstract:

Unlike Standard English, one in Singapore Colloquial English (SCE) not only functions as a numeral and a pronoun, it also functions as a nominalizer and a contrastive focus marker. Even though previous studies on SCE one have unequivocally proven that the expanded functions of one were a result of Chinese influence, few have provided an explanation for the non-transferability of the nominal modification marker function. Based on Heine & Kuteva’s (2005) theory that contact-induced grammaticalization conforms to the principles of grammaticalization, this paper argues that an alternative reason why certain functions of Chinese de were not transferred into SCE is due to an absence of ambiguous or bridging contexts, which are mediating conditions for grammaticalization to take place. A detailed analysis of Chinese and English data clearly demonstrates how similarities between one and de create ambiguity in the input of SCE, thereby allowing one to grammaticalize via the mediation of bridging contexts.

Abstract:

Abstract Modeling melt from glaciers is crucial to assessing regional hydrology and eustatic sea level rise. The transferability of such models in space and time has been widely assumed but rarely tested. To investigate melt model transferability, a distributed energy-balance melt model (DEBM) is applied to two small glaciers of opposing aspects that are 10 km apart in the Donjek Range of the St. Elias Mountains, Yukon Territory, Canada. An analysis is conducted in four stages to assess the transferability of the DEBM in space and time: 1) locally derived model parameter values and meteorological forcing variables are used to assess model skill; 2) model parameter values are transferred between glacier sites and between years of study; 3) measured meteorological forcing variables are transferred between glaciers using locally derived parameter values; 4) both model parameter values and measured meteorological forcing variables are transferred from one glacier site to the other, treating the second glacier site as an extension of the first. The model parameters are transferable in time to within a <10% uncertainty in the calculated surface ablation over most or all of a melt season. Transferring model parameters or meteorological forcing variables in space creates large errors in modeled ablation. If select quantities (ice albedo, initial snow depth, and summer snowfall) are retained at their locally measured values, model transferability can be improved to achieve ≤15% uncertainty in the calculated surface ablation.

Abstract:

AbstractTaxusis an important genus which is well-known for Taxol. Its genetic analyses were lagged behind those of other conifers due to lack of suitable molecular markers. In this paper, we explored polymorphic loci forTaxus maireiand tested their transferability across species based on 150 EST-SSR loci already developed forTaxus cuspidatapreviously. The results showed that 103 loci were polymorphic, the number of alleles per locus ranged from 2 to 11 over 16 individuals. The observed heterozygosity (Ho) and expected heterozygosity (He) varied from 0 to 1 and 0.0625 to 0.891, respectively. ThePICvalues ranged from 0.11 to 0.754 with an average of 0.453. The average cross-species transferability was 96.07% among 5 species. Most of these loci can be used as universal markers inTaxusgenus. The PCA results showed these markers have strong power to identify different species. These markers will be useful for further studies on genetic analysis and conversation ofTaxus mairei.
