Estimation of Clear-Sky Global Solar Radiation Using Hottel’s Model and Liu and Jordan’s Model for Qena/Egypt

For using solar energy applications, it is essential to get solar radiation data for the considered location. Measured data are not available for every location, especially in developing countries. In this work, hourly clear-sky global solar radiation (CSGSR) is calculated as a sum of the direct component calculated by Hottel’s model and the diffuse component calculated by Liu and Jordan’s model. From the hourly calculated values, monthly average hourly, average daily, and monthly average values are calculated in Qena/Egypt. The calculated values are compared with the corresponding measured ones during the period from 2004 to 2012. Different performance measures are used to test the accuracy of the estimation of the CSGSR. These measures are mean bias error, mean absolute bias error, root mean square errors, model efficiency, modelling index, and t-statistic test. Statistical measures indicated that using Hottel’s Model and Liu and Jordan's Model can be used safely in calculating the CSGSR in Qena/ Egypt and other sites with the same climate characteristics.
Film Recommendation System with Social-Union Algorithm: Film Recommendation System with Social-Union Algorithm

A Recommendation System applies several classic Collaborative Filtering (CF) methods. Some CF methods are combined with social networks, for instance Fusing ESR, Social Regularization, and Trust-Aware. Nonetheless, these three methods are not able to be developed if they are integrated with other types of implicit or explicit relationships. Their selection of parameter weights is not optimal enough when it combines preferences between users from the two types of relationships into one. Usually, a group of friends will be similar in terms of interest and preference for an item. The similarities between users will increase the accuracy of the prediction results. The selection of parameter weights can be done manually or automatically through the calculation of global and local density coefficients so the determination of parameter weights will be optimal. Therefore, the Social-Union (SU) method proposed in this research use that method to overcome the problems from previous research. The result of this research is a website that applies the Social-Union method and let the user get recommendations that depend on the value of the parameter a.
Corporate Governance and the Financial Crisis: What Have We Missed?

The need for efficient corporate governance mechanisms, to restore the public’s trust in U.S. financial markets, increased after the latest round of corporate fraud cases that wiped out $8 trillion from the US market. Proponents of efficient governance argue that current mechanisms need revamping. This study explores the role of corporate governance in regulating the US market and sets forth corporate governance improvement recommendations. These recommendations address the need for proactive corporate governance, using meta analysis to reconcile conflicting research findings, employing alternative theoretical underpinnings that go beyond agency theory, thinking blockchains, and developing an agenda for corporate governance convergence.

Additional therapies such as quadriceps strengthening exercises can be the first alternative option in a osteoarthritis therapy program.
The Development of the Multifunctional Digital Platform for Distance Learning and Evolvement “PsyTech” in the Era of Great Challenges

Nowadays higher education deals with the challenge to train competitive specialist that will be capable of changing both social and economic development of the society. Online learning plays a special role in this process. Modern technologies of remote access (project “Psychological technology PSY TECH”) give the opportunity not only to improve the quality of knowledge and the efficiency of the educational process, but also to solve various social problems associated with higher education system. Distance learning surpasses traditional one when it comes to life-long learning, professional development or occupational retraining. Remote access to the information and computing services allow you to achieve effectiveness and flexibility in the process of learning and development in the modern higher education. Remote platforms allow you to unify and correctly build an individual training route by taking into account students’ individual psychological characteristics, age, and special needs. Modern higher education institutes are searching for effective models of interaction with students, teachers and other employees. Along with the functions of socialization, reproduction and development of corporate culture, great importance is given to the socio-psychological development of the future specialists. The attention is also drawn to managing teachers’ and administrative staff’s stress. Thus, the proposed model is relevant and has significant practical importance.
THE LIFE MAP FOR DEVELOPING MULTILITERACIES COMPETENCE: A PRELIMINARY STUDY

Multiliteracies competence of Indonesian students is still low based on the results of the 2018 PISA study which places Indonesia at level 1 (lowest) from 6 levels (highest). The multiliteracies competence referred to are reading literacy, mathematical literacy, and scientific literacy. This can also be seen in several studies that have been carried out, for example the results of the 2019 study revealed that 74% of the provinces were in the low and very low category on the reading literacy activity index, the results of the 2017 study showed that the mathematics literacy skills of high school students were in the very low category, and research in 2018 shows that the science literacy skills of new high school students are developing. Low literacy will have an impact on the low productivity of the nation so that it will also have an impact on the level of national welfare. Therefore, it is necessary to increase literacy skills through the provision of reading materials and increase children's reading interest. This reading material can be in the form of digital reading material which is now very abundant and easily accessible via smart phones, which are mostly owned by high school students. The use of digital technology reading materials will also be more optimal if it is done through maps of students' lives because they will access information about knowledge, skills, and character values (personality) according to their goals

Density Measure in Context Clustering for Distributional Semantics of Word Sense Induction

Word Sense Induction (WSI) aims at inducing word senses from data without using a prior knowledge. Utilizing no labeled data motivated researchers to use clustering techniques for this task. There exist two types of clustering algorithm: parametric or non-parametric. Although non-parametric clustering algorithms are more suitable for inducing word senses, their shortcomings make them useless. Meanwhile, parametric clustering algorithms show competitive results, but they suffer from a major problem that is requiring to set a predefined fixed number of clusters in advance.The main contribution of this paper is to show that utilizing the silhouette score normally used as an internal evaluation metric to measure the clusters’ density in a parametric clustering algorithm, such as K-means, in the WSI task captures words’ senses better than the state-of-the-art models. To this end, word embedding approach is utilized to represent words’ contextual information as vectors. To capture the context in the vectors, we propose two modes of experiments: either using the whole sentence, or limited number of surrounding words in the local context of the target word to build the vectors. The experimental results based on V-measure evaluation metric show that the two modes of our proposed model beat the state-of-the-art models by 4.48% and 5.39% improvement. Moreover, the average number of clusters and the maximum number of clusters in the outputs of our proposed models are relatively equal to the gold data
Pandemic emergency, precaution and horizontal subsidiarity

The Covid-19 pandemic emergency offered and offers several opportunities for scholars of administrative law Among various possible investigation, the essay analyses the impact of the precautionary and horizontal subsidiarity prin-ciples on the Covid-19 risk management On the one hand, the COVID-19 emergency was characterized, from the beginning, by the absence of scientific certainty on the prevention and management of risks for human health On the other hand, in the wake of the sociological theorization of the “risk society”, the traditional deference of the right to technical-scientific contributions has entered into crisis when science is not able to provide certain answers on the harmfulness or otherwise of numerous activities The coronavirus emergency therefore re-launches the need to correctly configure the relations between sci-ence, politics and administration At the same time, current neo-publicist tendencies, sometimes resulting in forms of publicity of social relations of general importance, are likely to lead to the pretermission of horizontal subsidiarity from the debate on pandemic risk management This clashes with the centrality of the involvement of private individuals in security certification processes, as in the case of the role of private laboratories in the screening processes of en-tire categories of the population through molecular (so-called swabs) and sero-logical tests © 2020, University of Urbino All rights reserved

This paper investigates the applicability of Elaine Showalter’s creative proposition of feminist criticism, gynocritics, in Rupi Kaur’s milk and honey. To that end, the paper tries to scrutinize the need of a text for writing about as well as on female experiences as demonstrated in the book. The researcher claims that the text exemplifies a complete and full use of the theory, which was established long before this work. The research is carried out in qualitative method, consulting the primary along with the secondary texts. It also posits the necessity of a language for a feminine text as used in Kaur’s work. It explores the book’s affinities with and the poet’s ideas of the common feminist concepts of the time by interpreting the sections of the book accordingly. In doing so, however, the researcher also tries to hint at the elements and features of contemporary poetry on the social-media platforms that contributed to the popularity of the book; therefore, it highlights the patterns of poetry and the trends or habits of the readers nowadays.
Feasibility Study of Standard Test Method for Visual Inspection by Public Infrastructure/Plant Inspection Robot

In recent years, there is concern the increase of the deteriorated public infrastructures and plants constructed during the high economic growth period in Japan. The utilization of the robot technology will be expected for inspection of infrastructure/plant. In order to promote the development and spread of such infrastructure/plant inspection robots, the standard test methods that can objectively evaluate each performance are required by subdividing the robot performance. The purpose of this paper is to develop a standard test method to evaluate the visual inspection performance for the diagnosis and evaluation of deteriorations on the surface of structure such as rust and crack by the inspection robot. This paper proposed the basic design of the visual inspection test method for the tank and bridge based on the concept of the standard test method proposed NIST/ASTM. The design concept of the test piece board (200 mm square) that can reproduce various deteriorations and an example of a test field assuming a tank wall surface inspection were shown. The test piece board can be removed. The method of reproducing rust/crack and the concept of test field for visual inspection performance evaluation were described.
Shared Latent Space of Font Shapes and Impressions.

We have specific impressions from the style of a typeface (font), suggesting that there are correlations between font shape and its impressions. Based on this hypothesis, we realize a shared latent space where a font shape image and its impression words are embedded in a cross-modal manner. This latent space is useful to understand the style-impression correlation and generate font images by specifying several impression words. Experimental results with a large style-impression dataset prove that it is possible to accurately realize the shared latent space, especially for shape-relevant impression words, and then use the space to generate font images with various impressions.

Probabilistic Grammatical Evolution

Grammatical Evolution (GE) is one of the most popular Genetic Programming (GP) variants, and it has been used with success in several problem domains. Since the original proposal, many enhancements have been proposed to GE in order to address some of its main issues and improve its performance. In this paper we propose Probabilistic Grammatical Evolution (PGE), which introduces a new genotypic representation and new mapping mechanism for GE. Specifically, we resort to a Probabilistic Context-Free Grammar (PCFG) where its probabilities are adapted during the evolutionary process, taking into account the productions chosen to construct the fittest individual. The genotype is a list of real values, where each value represents the likelihood of selecting a derivation rule. We evaluate the performance of PGE in two regression problems and compare it with GE and Structured Grammatical Evolution (SGE). The results show that PGE has a a better performance than GE, with statistically significant differences, and achieved similar performance when comparing with SGE.
