Survival of Makyung in Kelantan: The Challenge under the Federal Centric Environment

Makyung is one of the many traditional performances from the Malaysian region that has shaped the Malay national cultural identity. It has been recognized as one of the Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangibles of Humanity in 2001 as well as part of intangible cultural heritage having significant cultural values propounded by the UNESCO International Convention for the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage of 2003 (ICH Convention). However, the State of Kelantan had enacted the Entertainment Control and Places of Entertainment Enactment (1998) (KECE 1998) that clearly prohibits any entertainment containing prohibited elements according to Islamic principles. Currently, the performance of makyung was allowed with certain modifications but recently, there is an intention by the state government of Kelantan to prohibit Makyung totally. It is to be noted that there are overlapping powers between the Federal and the State jurisdictions with regard to the safeguarding of makyung. At federal level, the National Heritage Act 2005 (the NHA) is the existing law in Malaysia for the safeguarding of intangible cultural heritage inspired by the establishment of the ICH Convention. However, the NHA is a general law that is inadequate at giving comprehensive protection to makyung since heritage matter falls under the Concurrent List of the Ninth Schedule of the Federal Constitution where the State also has the legislative power to make law with regard to the same. In order to address this conflict, there is a need to examine the provisions in the Federal Constitutions, the NHA, KECE 1998 and evaluate to what extent these laws safeguard the performance of makyung. This study examines the conflicts in powers between both Federal and the State Legislations which powers are guaranteed by the Constitution. This study uses the qualitative research method, where a doctrinal research is conducted. This paper contends that, both powers must come to a compromise and meet halfway for the preservation of the heritage.

SPRING: a next-generation compressor for FASTQ data

Motivation High-Throughput Sequencing technologies produce huge amounts of data in the form of short genomic reads, associated quality values and read identifiers. Because of the significant structure present in these FASTQ datasets, general-purpose compressors are unable to completely exploit much of the inherent redundancy. Although there has been a lot of work on designing FASTQ compressors, most of them lack in support of one or more crucial properties, such as support for variable length reads, scalability to high coverage datasets, pairing-preserving compression and lossless compression. Results In this work, we propose SPRING, a reference-free compressor for FASTQ files. SPRING supports a wide variety of compression modes and features, including lossless compression, pairing-preserving compression, lossy compression of quality values, long read compression and random access. SPRING achieves substantially better compression than existing tools, for example, SPRING compresses 195 GB of 25× whole genome human FASTQ from Illumina's NovaSeq sequencer to less than 7 GB, around 1.6× smaller than previous state-of-the-art FASTQ compressors. SPRING achieves this improvement while using comparable computational resources. Availability and implementation SPRING can be downloaded from https://github.com/shubhamchandak94/SPRING.

Development of the creative orientation of the future educator personality through leading social and pedagogical practices

The transformations taking place in modern society necessitate the professional training of a mobile, creative educator who is able to creatively approach the development, implementation and development of innovative technologies in the pedagogical process. The Federal State Educational Standard of Higher Education and the Occupational Standard of an Educator make demands on the personality of a modern educator who has creative abilities and the ability to solve pedagogical problems in practice outside the box. Among the competencies of the 21st century personality, its creativity, which actualizes the process of developing the creative orientation of the future educator, is designated. One of the means of developing the creative orientation of the future educator personality is social and pedagogical practices that ensure the formation of professional skills and the development of creative thinking and cognitive creative activity of future educators. The forms of social and pedagogical practices were volunteer and pedagogical teams, in which socially significant and project activities, developing a creative orientation, creative thinking, and introspection of creative activity, have been identified. The components of the development of the personality creative orientation have been designated: motivational, intellectual-cognitive, reflexive, which formed the basis of the experimental research. The purpose of the research: to theoretically substantiate and to experimentally test the influence of social and pedagogical practices on the creative orientation development of the future educator personality. Research methods: theoretical (analysis of literature, regulatory documents); empirical (study of experience, pedagogical experiment); survey and diagnostic (map of the pedagogical assessment of the educator's abilities to innovative activity (V.A. Slastenin, L.S. Podymova), diagnostics of creative thinking in solving educational problems (I.A. Verchenko, K.Yu. Galushchak, E. Oleinik), the Assessment and Self-Assessment of Professionally Important Qualities technique (N.K. Sergeeva, V.V. Arnautova)); mathematical (methods of statistical processing of research results (F-test (Fisher's criterion))). Research results: the theoretical and methodological approaches to the development of the individual creative orientation have been highlighted; the components of the creative orientation of the future educator personality are developed, positive dynamics has been revealed, and the effectiveness of the use of social and pedagogical practices in the creative orientation development of the future educator, taking into account the methods of mathematical statistics, has been proved. Practical significance: the materials of the paper will be useful to the professional community of lecturers of pedagogical universities and researchers dealing with the problems of developing the creative orientation of the future educator personality.

Online Class Observation and Conduction in English during the Outbreak of COVID-19

The flare-up of Covid-19 has influenced instructive frameworks around the world. It has prompted the close to add up to terminations of schools, universities, and Universities. It appears to be that all the administrations around the globe have incidentally shut instructive foundations so they can contain the spread of COVID-19. Be that as it may, the learning cycle should go on. That is the reason educators and understudies are utilizing an online stage to keep the learning cycle progressing as opposed to sitting around idly at home. Numerous private colleges like Daffodil International University are taking on the web classes, tests, and tests. The English language is a worldwide language. Despite the fact that numerous nations utilize the English language as a second language, in Bangladesh it is as yet being utilized as an unknown dialect. Truly, the English language was in a condition of rising and fall in Bangladesh since its autonomy in 1971. (Moniruzzaman, 2009; Rahman, 2005).The English language is the most utilized worldwide vehicle of correspondence around the globe. That is the reason learning English in Bangladesh is necessary in pretty much every degree of instruction. From schools to colleges English is being instructed to understudies. Yet, it appears to be that English language instructing in Bangladesh isn't powerful. Despite the fact that understudies are taking in the English language from the earliest starting point of their school life the yield of learning English isn't good. The greater part of the understudies is dreaded by the English language. Understudies in Bangladesh learn English as an important subject from their first day of school till class twelve or more significant level. They gain proficiency with the English language for over twelve years and still, the outcome is disillusioning. The public authority has taken endless activities to improve English language gaining from the soonest beginning stage of school life and quite a critical number of exercises have been taken to make demonstrating English simple. Yet, Covid-19 made the public authority nearly disabled since they need more assets to lead online classes in government schools and universities. Be that as it may, right now just non-public schools, schools, and colleges are taking on the web classes. They are making an honest effort to guarantee a quality encouraging climate yet their backings are not alright to satisfy the requests. A college has been chosen for online class perception. On that college, 2 classes have been noticed and a class has been taken. During perception of the class, an agenda gave by the chief has been utilized for assessing the presentation and showing strategies of the instructors and the results of the students. Subsequent to noticing the classes, a few issues have been found. To beat those issues, a few suggestions have been given that may assist with making the English language educating viably at that college.
Improvisasi Teknik Oversampling MWMOTE Untuk Penanganan Data Tidak Seimbang

Imbalance data is a condition which there is a distinction in the quantity of data that results withinside the majority class (classes with very many members) and minority class (classes with very few members). It can complicate the classification process since the machine learning algorithm method is designed to classify already balanced data. The oversampling process technique is used to resolve data imbalance by applying synthetic data to the minority class in such a manner that it has the same volume of data as the majority class. MWMOTE is an oversampling technique that generates synthetic data based on members of the minority class clusters that are close to the majority class. This approach is capable of generating synthetic data well. The resulting synthesis data remains in the nearby majority region and too dense on the border of the cluster. It is hence permitting the resulting synthetic data to go into the majority class classification. This study is objectives to improve the process of generating synthetic data on MWMOTE so that the resulting data is extensively dispensed withinside the minority class. The outcomes of the test show that the proposed method is capable of enhancing the classification performance for KNN and C4.5 Decision Tree classification sequentially by 0.46% and 0.96% compared to MWMOTE
ANALISIS SISTEM INFORMASI AKUNTANSI ATAS PENJUALAN JASA PERCETAKAN UNTUK MENINGKATKAN PENGENDALIAN INTERNAL (STUDI KASUS PADA PT ABC)

The purpose of scientific writing is to know the sales accounting information system to improve internal control that has been applied to PT. ABC, what are the obstacles and problems that occur. The research method used in this paper is descriptive. PT. ABC as an object in this study. Primary data obtained from documents contained in PT. ABC. In addition, questionnaires, interviews with those concerned and direct observations were carried out. Assessment is done through a qualitative approach, namely by analyzing the sales accounting information system to improve internal control by using a flowchart. This proves that PT.ABC has an accounting information system and internal control system that are said to be insufficient, because there are still things that need to be addressed. The results of system evaluation and sales accounting procedures improve the internal control carried out by the company is still inadequate, because Integrity and ethical values are not written and not conceptualized, the duplication of tasks carried out by the sales department also doubles so that there is an opportunity for fraud committed by the company. The sales procedure is made inadequate because of the sales information from the sales but there is no record in the marketing department. Weaknesses in payment of accounts receivable, in the process of payment through demand deposits so that potential manipulation occurs.
Conceptual Design of a Robot for Cleaning Narrow Spaces

Markets for both cleaning services and cleaning robots are growing fast, globally as well as in Asia. Markets in emerging economies are, however, highly cost-sensitive where most cleaning is currently carried out manually. Cleaning robots reported in literature as well as available commercially focus primarily on cleaning of wide surfaces; access to and cleaning of narrow spaces are not adequately addressed. Further, the cost of current robots is at least twice that of the competition. Using the IISC Design Thinking Approach, this paper focuses on developing near-term solutions to these problems: affordable surface cleaning robots for narrow spaces for Indian middle-class domestic markets. The paper proposes conceptual solutions for three such robots all of which meet these criteria. It then compares these with one another using three criteria, area-cleaning efficiency, time efficiency and cost, to select the most promising solution. The work is meant to not only propose novel, potentially affordable and useful solutions for a long standing, unaddressed problem, but also provide a demonstration of the power of a structured design process, supported by design methods such as requirement analysis, brainstorming, morphological chart and weighted objectives method, in developing such solutions.

And COVID-19 transformed the educational system: reflections and experiences to learn

The situation created by COVID-19 has had a strong and traumatic impact on the educational system of all levels, moving face-to-face classes to virtual ones at a distance. Information and communication technologies have had great significance in this process. This technology-mediated learning has had relevant consequences regarding how teachers give their lessons, how students interact in that context, and how school tasks are carried out. The difference in student access to technologies has had implications, one of them being the widening of the social gap. And from this situation we must learn about a series of variables that have made the process difficult: the training of teachers and students in terms of their digital skills, the significance assigned to different technologies, the need to make technologies available to students to avoid a deepening of the digital divide, and the need to transform the functions of the teacher as well as the conception of the teaching-learning process. Virtual learning is here to stay and emphasis must now be placed on the commitment, effectiveness and empowerment of reflective practice.

The Overview of SDN Architecture and its Practical Application with Improving Methods

This paper presents a comprehensive analysis on Software Defined Network (SDN) based on these following main aspects: i) an overview of the SDN architecture, ii) the introduction of a practical SDN application, iii) characteristics and drawbacks of SDN, and iv) methods for improving the performance of SDN.By reviewing and researching the rise and development of SDN, it is proposed that SDN solves many issues of traditional distributed networks, including configuration and management difficulties due to network node diversity.However, it still has some limitations, such as decentralize tendency and code opacity caused by competition among vendors.The goal of SDN development is to put SDN in the details of real issues, to improve it from different aspects, and thus make it as a better network.
Coaxial quadcopter trajectory optimization and control

Coaxial quadcopter trajectory optimization and control The use of mobile robots is growing exponentially in civil and industrial application, using technologies like GPS and Lidar to guarantee an accurate localization of the robot and a precise environment mapping. However, there are many situations in which such solutions are impossible to adopt due to physical or technological limitations (e.g., the GPS is impossible to use in indoor environments or in place in which the satellite coverage is not guaranteed). This thesis aims to design a possible trajectory planning of a drone without using the GPS signal and the Lidar, traditionally adopted elements in drone operations. This solution is applied in the framework of the motion planning of the coaxial quadcopter designed by the DRAFT Polito of Politecnico di Torino for the Leonardo Drone Contest launched by Leonardo, in which the objective is to navigate in an unknown environment without the adoption of a GPS signal and a Lidar sensor. The drone uses for its navigation only visual and inertial sensors, and its software is internally based on ROS (Robotic Operating System). To achieve this result, the motion planning is divided into two separate parts: a global path planning, using the search algorithm A* and a local path planning that adopts the Dynamic-Window-Approach (DWA) in order to take into account the presence of uninspected obstacles. To obtain better performances in terms of mission duration and electrical consumption during the flight, a genetic algorithm with fuzzy aggregation is applied to evaluate the best solution that satisfies both the conflicting requests. Successively, the solution is tested in a simulation environment, and it can be a starting point for future improvements.

Segmented Translation Algorithm of Complex Long Sentences Based on Semantic Features

Abstract The progress of the times is inseparable from communication. If a country wants to develop well, it must learn from each other. Accurate language translation can better let people understand what they want to express. Therefore, language translation is becoming more and more important in the current social communication. Although there is a lot of research on translation, in many cases there will be inaccurate translations. Therefore, finding an accurate translation method is what many people need. Aiming at the problem that the translation of complex long sentences is prone to errors, this paper proposes a sentence segmentation algorithm, which is a method of dividing the long sentence into multiple independent clauses and then translating it. The segmentation algorithm uses the semantic features of the Concept Hierarchical Network (HNC) theory to segment clauses. The segmentation algorithm is integrated with a rule-based baseline translation system. The BLEU value of the integrated translation system reaches 0.1898, which is higher than that before the integration. The system has increased by 30%. Experimental results prove that the proposed method can effectively improve the effect of patent translation.
