The analysis of bidirectional long short-term memory network model for construction of cultural gene map and information extraction
2025
To create a cultural gene map and extract information, this paper introduces a two-way long and short-term memory network (LSTM) model and verifies it using Jinxiu Yao headwear as an example. In this paper, a thorough cultural gene map, comprising structure, pattern, and color maps, is successfully constructed using the Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory Network (Bi-LSTM) model. Experimental results show that the proposed model exhibits excellent performance in the information extraction task. On the test set, its Accuracy is 0.94, Precision is 0.92, Recall is 0.91, F1-score is 0.92, and AUC is 0.91. Compared with traditional models including LSTM, Gated Recurrent Unit Network (GRU), Convolutional Neural Network + Long Short-Term Memory Network (CNN-LSTM), Transformer, and Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers + Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory Network (BERT-BiLSTM), the proposed model performs significantly better. The model demonstrates outstanding performance in processing complex sequence data. Meanwhile, it can efficiently capture cross-modal and multi-dimensional cultural information, providing strong data support for the digital research and protection of traditional cultural works. This shows that the cultural gene information extraction method has broad application prospects. In the future, the model performance can be further optimized and the application scenarios can be expanded.

Proper surgical attire is essential in decreasing surgical site infections; however, the effectiveness of the different types of headwear is a controversial topic. We conducted a narrative review based on studies identified through a focused literature search to summarize and critically assess evidence and opinions on the most appropriate type of headwear for OR personnel. We included 48 articles: 17 original research studies and 31 non–peer‐reviewed articles of various types. Research published before 2014 mostly supports the complete coverage of all hair, which aligns with the 2015 AORN guidelines. However, more recent literature rebuts these guidelines and emphasizes the importance of clean headwear. Although earlier studies (published before 2017) lacked scientific rigor, later studies (published after 2017) have other various limitations, including missing data on compliance, surgery‐related techniques, and surgical attire other than headwear. The findings from this review highlight the importance of solid evidence‐based guidelines and expert collaboration.

In low-information elections, voters are often faced with the task of choosing from a list of unknown candidates. By examining a set of low-information elections where candidate photographs were displayed on the ballot, we test how first impressions of candidates can influence election outcomes. We find that attractive candidates are more likely to be attributed the qualities associated with successful politicians and these trait inferences, based on facial appearances, influence the outcomes of elections. We also find that these trait inferences are based on physical characteristics of the candidates, such as age, race and ethnicity, evident from a photograph. Therefore, first impressions can be important determinants of election outcomes, especially in low-information elections.

Design Strategy and Application of Headwear with National Characteristics Based on Information Visualization Technology
2023
With the rapid development of big data technology, information technology and visualization technology, traditional national headdress design has gradually been combined with it. The strategies and applications related to national headdress design also fully reflect the beauty of modern science and technology, which is a model of the combination of national classics and modern technology. Based on this, this paper will deeply analyze the various links and processes of the design based on the data based on the specific information of Yao ethnic headwear. At the same time, based on the existing visual design, this paper will take spring, hibernate and other systems as the basic software architecture of the design system and deeply study the visualization principles and data information visualization methods of spring, hibernate and other software, and carry out data information visualization processing on the relevant design of national headwear, to build the corresponding digital material library with national characteristics and the digital design process of national headwear. Through the digital processing and matching of the whole design, the current design of national headwear can be simplified and optimized, and the design efficiency can be improved to provide reference samples for the design of other national characteristics. In the specific design part, this paper will carry out design verification based on Yao nationality's corresponding characteristic headdress design and evaluate the corresponding design from the perspective of artistry, practicality and nationality of headdress design. The practice results show that the information visualization design of national headwear proposed in this paper has obvious advantages over the traditional design, which greatly improves the design efficiency and simplifies the design process.

Evidential significance
2013
This study investigated the prevalence of glass particles on the headwear and head hair of two different population groups; the general public who do not work with glass, and glaziers from O’Brien® Glass Industries who work with glass and have regular contact with broken glass.
The 232 samples collected from the head hair and headwear from the random population resulted in the recovery of 6 glass fragments in total on 6 individuals (i.e. one fragment each).
All of these fragments were from head hair samples with no multiple fragments recovered.
The two headwear samples that were taken revealed no fragments. These results were in contrast to the survey that was conducted on the head hair and headwear of 25 glaziers from O’Brien®, in which 138 glass fragments were found in total on 24 of the 25 glaziers. The size and number of fragments found in each sample were also generally larger for the glaziers group. The results from this study indicate that the prevalence of glass on the head hair and head wear of the random population is very low in comparison to the head hair and headwear of those who have regular contact with breaking glass. The significance of this finding with respect to the interpretation of glass evidence is also discussed.

Kazak Kültüründe Geleneksel Baş Giyimi
2023
Her milletin uzun asırlar içinde oluşmuş, duyuş, düşünüş ve yaşayış tarzları ile gelenek ve göreneklerini yansıtan, kendilerine has kültürel değerleri vardır. Tarihsel süreçte ağırlıklı olarak konargöçer yaşam tarzını benimsemiş olan Kazak Türklerinin de kökleri tarih öncesine dayanan kültür birikimi, somut ve somut olmayan kültürel mirası, araştırılması gereken hazinelerle doludur. İnsanlık tarihinde somut kültürel miras çalışmaları arasında giyim-kuşam kültürü önemli bir yer tutar. Kullanıldıkları çağların zevklerini ve inceliklerini de barındıran giysiler, genelde insanlığın özelde ait olduğu milletlerin kültür dünyasındaki değişiklikleri temsil etme ve yansıtma işlevlerini üstlenmiştir. Giyim kuşam, kılık kıyafet kültürünün araştırılmasının ulusal ve evrensel kültür kodlarının çözülmesine önemli katkılar sunacağı yadsınamaz bir gerçektir. Bu bağlamda, bu çalışmada Kazak Türklerinde giyim kuşam kültürünün bir cephesini teşkil eden geleneksel baş giysilerinin kullanım biçimleri ve işlevleri hakkında bilgi verilmeye çalışılmıştır. Başın vücudun önemli bir kısmı olmasının yanı sıra Türk dünyasında daha da özel ilgiye sahip olduğu, Türkiye Türkçesindeki “baş tacım, başköşe, başım gözüm üstüne” gibi tamlamalardan ve Kazak Türkçesindeki “bastık, bas kuda, baseke” gibi adlandırma örneklerinden anlaşılabilir. Başı kutsayan Kazaklar için baş giysilerinin de önemi büyüktür. Kazaklar baş giysilerini hep yüksek yerde tutarlar, kendilerine ait baş giysilerini de hediye olarak vermezler. Kutsama nedeniyle baş giysilerinin yapıldığı hayvan derisi ve kuş tüylerinin de özel anlamları vardır. Yani herhangi bir hayvanın derisi veya kuşun tüyü kullanılmaz. Baş giyimlerinin yapımında kutsal ve pahalı olan hayvan derisiyle, özel anlamlar yüklenmiş kuşların tüyleri seçilir. Mesela Kazaklarda böri olarak adlandırılan kurt, tüm Türk boyları ve halkları için en önemli ve sembolik hayvanlardan biridir. Börinin derisiyle börikler yapılmıştır. Börik, daha çok kışın giyilen baş giysisi olmanın yanında süs için de özel günlerde kullanılmaktadır. Yazımız “Giriş, Kazak Kültüründe Erkeklerin Geleneksel Baş Giyimi, Kazak Kültüründe Kadınların Geleneksel Baş Giyimi, Kazak Çocuklarının Geleneksel Baş Giysileri ve Sonuç” şeklinde ilerleyen alt başlıklardan oluşmaktadır. “Giriş” bölümünde giyim kuşamın tanımı, tanımları, tarihçesi, felsefesi üzerinde durulduktan sonra, neden bu konunun seçildiği, niye böyle bir çalışmanın yapıldığı, bu çalışmanın alanda hangi eksikliği gidereceğine yönelik açıklamalar yapılmıştır. “Kazak Kültüründe Erkeklerin Geleneksel Baş Giyimi” alt başlığı altında; Börik, Jalgabay, Kalpak, Kulakşın, Külapara, Malakay, Murak, Takiya, Tımak isimleri ile bilinen baş giyimlerinin, başlık ve şapkaların, hangi malzemelerden ve nasıl yapıldığı ile hangi yaş gruplarının giydiği ve başlıkların tarihsel arka planı ile sembolik anlamları üzerinde durulmuştur. “Kazak Kültüründe Kadınların Geleneksel Baş Giyimi” alt başlığı altında; Börik, Jaulık, Jırga, Karkara, Kasaba, Kimeşek, Oramal, Saukele, Soraba, Takiya baş giyimlerinin özellikleri ve tercih edilme nedenlerine değinilmiştir. Kadın ve erkek baş giyimine göre daha az seçenek barındıran “Kazak Çocuklarının Geleneksel Baş Giysileri” alt başlığı altında ise Telpek olarak adlandırılan baş giyiminden bahsedilmiştir. Sonuç bölümünde ise baş giysilerinin coğrafya ve iklim ile ilişkisi, benzeyen, ayrılan yanları, kullanılma sıklıkları ve nedenleri, yaş, sosyal durum ve cinsiyete göre sınıflandırılmaları, halk inanışları ile ilişkileri, sembolik anlamları gibi çalışmadan elde edilen veriler bir araya getirilmiştir. Geleneksel giysilerin tarih boyunca değişebildiği ve yeniden şekillendiği gerçeği de gözetilerek, nesilden nesile aktarılan baş giyimlerinin varsa otantik ve modern yanları da çalışmanın kapsamı içinde görülmeye ve gösterilmeye çalışıldı. Dağınık olanı toparlama ve bir araya getirme şeklindeki geleneksel bilimsel yaklaşımın benimsendiği yazıda, doküman incelemesi yöntemi ve betimsel tarama modeli kullanılmıştır. İlaveten saha araştırması ve kaynak taramasıyla elde edilen veriler halk biliminin bağlamsal ve işlevsel kuramları çerçevesinde incelenip, sahadan elde edilen görsellerle desteklenmiştir. Each nation has its own distinct cultural values that have evolved over generations to represent its views, thinking and living styles, as well as their traditions and customs. Kazakh Turks, who have historically embraced a largely nomadic lifestyle, are also rich of treasures that must be discovered, such as their cultural history, both physical and intangible, which stretches back to ancient times. Clothing culture has a significant role in the history of humanity's concrete cultural heritage studies. Clothes, which also carry the tastes and delicacy of the eras in which they are worn, has taken on the role of portraying and reflecting changes in the cultural worlds of the countries to which mankind belongs in particular. It is an evident truth that studying dress culture will make significant contributions to decoding national and worldwide cultural rules. In this context, this study attempts to provide information about the use and functions of traditional headdress, which serves an important part of the Kazakh Turks' clothing culture. In addition to being an essential part of the body, the head has a unique value in the Turkic world, as seen by expressions like \"bas tacım, bas köşe, başım gözüm üstüne\" in Türkiye Turkish and examples like \"bastik, bas kuda, baseke\" in Kazakh Turkish. Headdresses are also of great importance for the Kazakhs who bless the head. Kazakhs always keep their headscarves in high places, and they do not give their own headdresses as gifts. Animal skin and bird feathers, from which headdresses are made for consecration, also have special meanings. In other words, no animal skin or bird feathers are used. In the production of headwear, sacred and expensive animal skin and feathers of birds with special meanings are chosen as materials. For example, the wolf, which is called böri in Kazakh, is one of the most important and symbolic animals for all Turkic tribes and people. Böriks were made with the skin of the böris. Börik is mostly used as a headdress in winter, as well as for decoration on special occasions. The article consists of sub-headings as \"Introduction, Traditional Headwear of Men in Kazakh Culture, Traditional Headwear of Women in Kazakh Culture, Traditional Headwear of Kazakh Children and Conclusion\". In the \"Introduction\" section, after focusing on the definition, history and philosophy of clothing, explanations were made about why this subject was chosen, why such a study was carried out, and what deficiency this study would fill in the field. Under the subheading of “Men's Traditional Headwear in Kazakh Culture”; headwear, caps and hats known as Börik, Jalgabay, Kalpak, Kulakşın, Külapara, Malakay, Murak, Takiya, Tımak, from which materials and how they are made, which age groups wear them, and the historical background and symbolic meanings of the headgear are emphasized. Under the subtitle of “Women's Traditional Headwear in Kazakh Culture”; Börik, Jaulık, Jırga, Karkara, Kasaba, Kimeşek, Oramal, Saukele, Soraba, Takiya headwears and reasons for preferring such headwear are mentioned. Under the sub-heading of \"Traditional Headwear of Kazakh Children\", which has fewer options than women's and men's headwear, the headwear called Telpek is mentioned. In the conclusion part, the data obtained from the study such as the relationship of headwear with geography and climate, similar and different aspects, frequency and reasons for use, classification according to age, social status and gender, relations with folk beliefs, and symbolic meanings were brought together. Considering the fact that traditional clothing can change and reshape throughout history, the authentic and modern aspects of headwear, if any, passed down from generation to generation were tried to be seen and shown within the scope of the study. Document analysis method and descriptive scanning model were used in the article, in which the traditional scientific approach of tidying up and bringing together the found data was adopted. In addition, the data obtained through field research and literature review were examined within the framework of contextual and functional theories of folklore and supported by visuals obtained from the field.

Indirect optic nerve injury in two-wheeler riders in northeast India
2008
To investigate the association of posterior indirect traumatic optic neuropathy and superior temporal orbital rim injury in two-wheeler riders and documentation of the clinical profile of such cases.
Retrospective observational study.
Records of all patients reporting with cranio-orbital injury and vision loss following road traffic accidents between October 1994 and April 2006 were reviewed and from them cases with vision loss solely from indirect optic nerve injury were taken up for study. The prognostic significance of different presenting features, role of intravenous methyl prednisolone (IVMP) and relative risk of superior orbital rim injury to posterior indirect traumatic optic neuropathy (at 95% confidence interval) was calculated.
Out of 129 consecutive cases of cranio-orbital injury, 35 had posterior indirect traumatic optic neuropathy with minor ipsilateral superior temporal orbital rim trauma and none used any protective headwear. Presenting clinical features like relative afferent pupillary defect ( P = 0.365), optic disc status ( P = 0.518) and visual evoked potential (VEP) ( P = 0.366) were disproportionate to visual loss. Only VEP had prognostic significance. The IVMP did not provide any added therapeutic benefit. The remaining 94 cases sustained direct blinding ocular trauma and 28 of them had associated intracranial pathology. The relative risk of superior temporal orbital rim injury to posterior indirect optic nerve trauma was 2.25.
Superior temporal orbital rim injury, even when minor, carries a potential risk for development of blindness from indirect posterior indirect traumatic optic neuropathy in two-wheeler drivers. Presenting signs do not correlate with visual status. Only VEP has prognostic significance and the condition is untreatable.

Art on the edge: hair and hands in Renaissance Italy
2009
This paper argues that items designed for the bodily extremities such as hair-coverings, hats, fans and other accessories were valued for the ease with which they could be changed and adapted to express a range of different meanings: political, social and individual. They also provided an important point of contact between the world of commerce, the court elites and the wider community of men and women who purchased and used these goods. In studying these often marginalized items, we can explore mechanism for the transmission of concepts of fashion and innovation in the Renaissance period.

Selectively Connected
2015
Since 2003, the South Korean government has established seven Special Economic Zones (SEZs) across the country, each promoted as bringing a designated focus and economic benefit to its respective locality. The largest of these zones is the Incheon Free Economic Zone (IFEZ), west of Seoul. The IFEZ is constituted by three sections, all located within Incheon Metropolitan City: Yeoungjong Island, Cheongna International City, and New Songdo International City. While Yeoungjong and Cheongna have lagged behind their projected development schedules and are described as ‘dead’ by some locals and planners, hopes and resources continue to be placed in New Songdo.
