Hierarchical Age Estimation based on Dynamic Grouping and OHRank

( Li Zhang ),( Xianmei Wang ),( Yuyu Liang ) 한국인터넷정보학회 2014 KSII Transactions on Internet and Information Syst Vol.8 No.7

This paper describes a hierarchical method for image-based age estimation that combines age group classification and age value estimation. The proposed method uses a coarse-to-fine strategy with different appearance features to describe facial shape and texture. Considering the damage to continuity between neighboring groups caused by fixed divisions during age group classification, a dynamic grouping technique is employed to allow non-fixed groups. Based on the given group, an ordinal hyperplane ranking (OHRank) model is employed to transform age estimation into a series of binary enquiry problems that can take advantage of the intrinsic correlation and ordinal information of age. A set of experiments on FG-NET are presented and the results demonstrate the validity of our solution.

“삼권분할”배경하에서 토지경영권의 발생시스템 연구

김로륜 ( Jin Lulun ),이현미 ( Li Xianmei ) 단국대학교 법학연구소 2021 법학논총 Vol.45 No.1

종래의 토지도급경영권에 관한 “삼권분할”은 정책적인 측면에서 추진되었다. “전면적으로 농촌개혁을 심화하고 농업현대화를 추진하는데 관한 의견”에서 중앙 문건의 형식으로 “삼권분할”의 구상을 제기한 뒤, “삼권분할”개혁에 관하여 여러 정책에서 이것을 반영하기 시작하였다. “농촌토지도급법” 제9조는 처음으로 토지도급경영권을 토지도급권과 토지경영권으로 분할하여 규정하였고 제10조에서는 토지소유권, 토지도급권과 토지경영권을 분할하여 규정하였다. 이것은 토지 도급경영권에 관한 “삼권분할”이 국가정책에서 법률로 전환되었음을 의미한다. 공포된 “농촌토지도급법”에서 토지경영권의 법적지위에 관한 규정이 모호하기 때문에 토지경영권의 권리성질을 확정할 필요성이 제기되었다. “삼권분할”의 배경하에서 토지경영권이라는 새로운 유형의 권리를 어떻게 해석하는가에 따라 농촌토지의 권리체계 구축에 직접적인 영향을 미치며 나아가서 농촌토지법제개혁의 성공여부를 좌우지 할 수 있다. 학계에서는 토지경영권의 법적성질에 관하여 “물권론”과 “채권론”의 대립이 있다. “물권론”은 차급 용익토지도급경영권의 개념을 도입할 것을 주장하고 “채권론”은 종래의 도급경영권자가 토지권리를 제3자에게 이전하여 경영하는 것은 “채권이용권”에 해당하다고 주장한다. 농촌토지의 유동이 제한을 받고 경영효율이 낮으며 농민의 권리가 보장받지 못하는 등 문제점에 입각하면 토지경영권을 농업경영을 중심으로 하는 용익물권으로 해석하는 것이 보다 합리적이다. 본고에서는 물권발생에 관한 체계적인 분석 및 법해석학을 통하여 특정화된 법률언어가 상이한 환경에서 나타내는 의미 및 물권권리 외연확대의 필요성을 검토하였다. 농촌토지의 가치를 최대화하고 토지양도,저당등 방면에서 여러 제도의 합리적인 적용을 모색하여 토지경영권제도의 부족점을 보충함에 있어서 건설적인 의견을 제시하고자 한다. In the past, the promotion of the “separation of three rights” of land contractual management right was mainly reflected in the national policy level. Since the “opinions on comprehensively deepening rural reform and accelerating agricultural modernization” first put forward the idea of “separation of three rights” in the form of a central document, the idea of “separation of three rights” has also been reflected in other national policy documents. Article 9 of the law of the people’s Republic of China on rural land contract divides the right of land contract and management into the right of land contract and the right of land management for the first time, and stipulates in Article 10 that the right of land management is protected according to law, which means that the “separation of three rights” has initially realized the transformation from national policies to legal norms. The newly revised “rural land contract law” has a vague legal position on the right of land management, and it is an unavoidable problem to define the nature of the right of land management. In the context of “separation of three rights”, how to deconstruct this new right will directly affect the construction of the new farmland right system and the success of the whole farmland legal reform. The academic debate on the nature of land management right mainly exists between “property right theory” and “creditor’s right theory”. The main content of “property right theory” is to try to include the concept of secondary usufructuary land contractual management right. “Creditor’s right theory” holds that the original contractual management right owner’s land rights to a third person should belong to “creditor’s right to use”. Combined with the problems of limited circulation of rural land, low operating efficiency and insufficient protection of farmers’ rights and interests in practice, it is more reasonable to define the land management right as the usufruct with the content of agricultural operation. Based on the analysis of the structure of real right generation system, this paper takes the standardization of legal interpretation as the basic requirement to explain the different application of specific legal language in different situations and the necessity of the expansion of real right. Finally, it provides feasible suggestions to improve the land management right system.

L-arginine and N-carbamoylglutamic acid supplementation enhance young rabbit growth and immunity by regulating intestinal microbial community

Sun, Xiaoming,Shen, Jinglin,Liu, Chang,Li, Sheng,Peng, Yanxia,Chen, Chengzhen,Yuan, Bao,Gao, Yan,Meng, Xianmei,Jiang, Hao,Zhang, Jiabao Asian Australasian Association of Animal Productio 2020 Animal Bioscience Vol.33 No.1

Objective: An experiment was conducted to determine the effects of L-arginine (L-Arg) and N-carbamoylglutamic acid (NCG) on the growth, metabolism, immunity and community of cecal bacterial flora of weanling and young rabbits. Methods: Eighteen normal-grade male weanling Japanese White rabbits (JWR) were selected and randomly divided into 6 groups with or without L-Arg and NCG supplementation. The whole feeding process was divided into weanling stage (day 37 to 65) and young stage (day 66 to 85). The effects of L-Arg and NCG on the growth, metabolism, immunity and development of the ileum and jejunum were compared via nutrient metabolism experiments and histological assessment. The different communities of cecal bacterial flora affected by L-Arg and NCG were assessed using high-throughput sequencing technology and bioinformatics analysis. Results: The addition of L-Arg and NCG enhanced the growth of weanling and young rabbit by increasing the nitrogen metabolism, protein efficiency ratio, and biological value, as well as feed intake and daily weight gain. Both L-Arg and NCG increased the concentration of immunoglobulin A (IgA), IgM, and IgG. NCG was superior to L-Arg in promoting intestinal villus development by increasing villus height, villus height/crypt depth index, and reducing the crypt depth. The effects of L-Arg and NCG on the cecal bacterial flora were mainly concentrated in different genera, including Parabacteroides, Roseburia, dgA-11_gut_group, Alistipes, Bacteroides, and Ruminococcaceae_UCG-005. These bacteria function mainly in amino acid transport and metabolism, energy production and conversion, lipid transport and metabolism, recombination and repair, cell cycle control, cell division, and cell motility. Conclusion: L-Arg and NCG can promote the growth and immunity of weanling and young JWR, as well as effecting the jejunum and ileum villi. L-Arg and NCG have different effects in the promotion of nutrient utilization, relieving inflammation and enhancing adaptability through regulating microbial community.

Relationships of Low Serum Levels of Interleukin-10 With Poststroke Anxiety and Cognitive Impairment in Patients With Clinical Acute Stroke

Background and Purpose The relationships among interleukin (IL)-10 levels, anxiety, and cognitive status after stroke remain controversial. We aimed to determine the associations of serum IL-10 levels with poststroke anxiety (PSA) and poststroke cognitive impairment (PSCI). Methods We recruited 350 patients with stroke, of whom only 151 completed a 1-month follow- up assessment. The Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) were used to assess the cognitive status and anxiety, respectively. Serum IL-10 levels were measured within 24 hours of admission. Results IL-10 levels were significantly lower in the PSA group than in the non-PSA group, and they were negatively associated with HAMA scores (r=-0.371, p<0.001). After adjusting for all potential confounders, IL-10 levels remained an independent predictor of PSA (odds ratio=0.471, 95% confidence interval=0.237–0.936, p=0.032). IL-10 levels were strongly correlated with behavior during interviews, psychic anxiety, and somatic anxiety. Patients without PSCI had higher IL-10 levels were higher in non-PSCI patients than in PSCI patients, and they were positively associated with MMSE scores in the bivariate correlation analysis (r=0.169, p=0.038), and also with memory capacity, naming ability, and copying capacity. However, IL-10 did not predict PSCI in the univariable or multivariable logistic regression. Conclusions Low IL-10 levels were associated with increased risks of PSA and PSCI at a 1-month follow-up after stroke. Serum IL-10 levels may therefore be helpful in predicting PSA.
