ADAPTATION OF DESIGNS FOR TEXTILE PRODUCTS INSPIRED FROM MADHUBANI PAINTING
Authors: Gupta Mohini , Gangwar Swati
Published: December 2020

Madhubani art of the Bihar state has been undergoing transition where its application in original composition has been declined owing to social and economic changes now-a-days. There is need to explore possibilities for the conservation of this art form viz other artistic media for future generations. The reason for using traditional motifs in textiles is to keep our designs or motifs alive.  The Indian folk arts with painting play important role in creating new designs. Escalating demands of consumers requires modification in the fashion industry with respect to design, colour, style and technique. So in an effort to add another dimension in the application of Madhubani designs on textiles, the present study was planned.  The effort was targeted towards finding the possibility of applying Madhubani designs on textile articles utilizing the hand painting. Madhubani motifs/designs were adapted for center design and border design. Total thirty six motifs / designs were developed keeping in mind their suitability for articles like cushion cover, folder and table cloth. Developed design sheets were subjected to visual evaluation for selection of one best design in each category by the panel of thirty respondents to find out the suitability of the developed designs for hand painting. Finally three articles were prepared by using selected designs and these prepared articles were highly appreciated by the respondents.
A Planetary Via Crucis Migration and Translation in the Work of Emily Jacir and Valeria Luiselli
Authors: Bertacco Simona
Published: December 2020

This essay explores the nexus between translation and migration via two works of art that deal explicitly with the “migration crisis” in Europe and North America.Via Crucisis an art installation by Emily Jacir (2016) in the Chiesa di San Raffaele in Milan, whileTell Me How It Ends: An Essay in Forty Questionsby Valeria Luiselli (2017) records the author’s reflections on the screening sessions of child asylum seekers after they have crossed the US-Mexico border. In both texts, translation is central to how the stories of migration are told and, this essay argues, it should be central also to the way in which they are read and received.
«sei sprechen dann die art of falling auseinander»
La poetica del confine di Uljana Wolf
Authors: Occhini Beatrice
Published: December 2020

In her poetry collection falsche freunde the German-speaking artist Uljana Wolf develops a translinguale Lyrik, a poetic voice dwelling on a linguistic and geographical border zone. Building on Emily Apter’s concepts of untranslatability, this paper investigates how Wolf’s structural and thematic checkpoints instil a strong political commitment into her poetry. Furthermore, this engagement is here interpreted as the expression of the paradigm of the postmigrantische Gesellschaft. Finally, the paper argues that through the choice of the term ‘alien’ over the category ‘fremd’ Wolf suggests an innovative shift in the representation of migratory dynamics, from their cultural dimension to their biopolitical significance.
Vergangenheitsbewältigung und Migrationswahrnehmung in Zafer Şenocaks Roman Gefährliche Verwandtschaft
Zur Entstehung einer Autorschaft
Authors: Pelloni Gabriella
Published: December 2020

The present article analyses the novel Gefährliche Verwandtschaft by German-Turkish writer Zafer Şenocak. It aims to reconstruct the author’s perspective on debates on migration and integration and to show in which way this affects the genesis of authorship represented in the novel. According to the thesis presented in this article, Gefährliche Verwandtschaft is first of all a novel about identity politics in newly reunited Germany. As a result, it also deals with historical perceptions and interpretations of the past. This goes to show that the value of the novel lies in its provocative questioning of memory culture and politics in Germany in the 1990s and of the consequences of an increasingly institutionalized and ritualized remembrance of National Socialism for the perception of migration.
Migrant and Minority Nostalgia in Karen Tei Yamashita’s Circle K Cycles
Authors: Micheli Grazia
Published: December 2020

This essay explores the concept of nostalgia through an analysis of Circle K Cycles (2001), a creative (auto)ethnographic text in which the Japanese American writer Karen Tei Yamashita portrays Japanese Brazilians’ ethnic return migration to Japan in the 1980s and 1990s. In the face of social marginalisation and the hegemonic pressures of Japanese culture to conform to a standard of ‘pure Japaneseness’, Japanese Brazilians reinforce their attachment to Brazil, which they express in the form of nostalgia, or saudade. Yet Yamashita criticises any idea of cultural separateness and ‘purity’, both by experimenting with form and by describing phenomena of cultural hybridisation.
„Bildung“ (Herder) und „Cultur“ (Adelung) im Vergleich
Authors: Laudin Gérard
Published: December 2020

“Bildung” and “Kultur” are among the key terms of the German Enlightenment, and appear in various hierarchical forms in the late 18th century. In Adelung’s Versuch einer Geschichte der Cultur des menschlichen Geschlechts (1782), which partly draws on Herder’s Auch eine Philosophie der Geschichte zur Bildung der Menschheit (1774), the term Cultur refers to a social phenomenon that subsumes “refinement” (Verfeinerung), “Enlightenment” (Aufklärung) and “abilities” (Fähigkeiten). Adelung’s concept of culture is tightly linked to his interpretation of human history, which differs both from that of the largely politically oriented universal histories of his time, and from that of the anthropologically based “philosophies of history” (Iselin, Herder, Kant). For Adelung, culture is produced by “crowds in confined spaces” and thus appears as a quantitative phenomenon, as opposed to the qualitative elements such as power (Kraft) and fermentation (Gärung) that determine the course of history in Herder’s philosophy of history of 1774. Cultur emerges from a balance that comes about when the material and non-material components of a given culture are “in the most exact proportion” to each other. The idea of the “Maximum” formulated in Herder’s Ideen zur Philosophie der Geschichte der Menschheit (1784), which is described as “a climax” that every nation reaches in its own way, appears to be developed critically as a counterpart to Adelung’s concept of balance.
«Más allá está la luz»: comentario del poema «Un milagro de Buda» de Luis Alberto de Cuenca
Authors: Sáez Adrián J.
Published: December 2020

Luis Alberto de Cuenca’s poetry seems to be like an open book, because of its powerful intertextuality, which has everything. In this sense, this work aims to look over a small ensemble of oriental poems, that adds another piece to the puzzle, and especially examines the poem “A Buda’s miracle”, which is interesting because of its curious textual history, as well as for its condition of buddhist poem that comes from a book about Buddha.

Beside this groups of individuals, the text also mentions another group of people, the offspring of Phalannaian women with non-Phalannaian men. A list of the names of the newly made citizens follows: there are some fifty names including some siblings.
Citizen Humanities as a Fusion of Digital and Public Humanities?
Authors: Heinisch Barbara
Published: December 2020

Digital and public humanities have gained a foothold in academia, but very little is known about citizen humanities, which is referring to the engagement of the general public in scholarly research. Although the term is new, public participation in the humanities, either as the citizens’ contribution of intellectual effort or knowledge to academic research, or as the contribution of resources and tools, looks back on a long tradition. The citizen humanities range from the creation of dictionaries, the transcription and annotation of historical records to the decoding of ancient Egyptian papyri. While the digital humanities provide the citizen humanities with data, tools and techniques, the public humanities offer the means of engaging diverse publics in research activities. After embedding the citizen humanities theoretically in the responsible research and innovation paradigm, this paper will illustrate how digitisation and public involvement laid the foundations for today’s citizen humanities. With a focus on the fusion of digital and public humanities in citizen humanities, this paper will demonstrate the mutual influence on practices (of research). This influence is not only reflected in the approaches to research, analysis, communication, and dissemination but also in the citizen humanities’ novel ways of knowledge co-production.

Nowadays the appearance of publications, scientific and research, and also research and development works on the creation of video monitoring systems for rocket and space technology products is caused by a well-known fact about the most reliable information channel — vision (human vision provides 95 % of information on surrounding objects), hence the inclusion of video information in the control system significantly increases the reliability of information from existing telemetry facilities of objects to track their normal functioning, as well as for rapid and unambiguous identification of the causes of abnormal and emergency situations that occur during the flight of rocket and space technology products. The article proposes a method for processing information from a video telemetry system about the temperature of thermally loaded elements of launch vehicles and upper stages by a remote contactless method with visual representation by converting a signal received from video cameras based on the principle of color pyrometers and Planck distribution. To implement the algorithm for processing video information for calculating the temperature, a block diagram of the solver is developed. A method for presenting video information and temperature measurements is presented provided that there is a color video image with a reduced frame rate and wide spectral range.

Authors:   Trilogi University, Indonesia, Butar Nelly Yulianti Butar , Bross Noverdi , Kanto Dwi Sunu
Published: December 2020

This study aims to analyze the factors that affect teacher performance with organizational commitment as a mediation between professional commitment and job satisfaction to teacher performance. In the realization of the achievement of target student scores based on the results of the National Examination for the 2016/2017 academic year to 2018/2019 academic year for the Djakarta Christian Schools Association in South Jakarta. The problem has been identified that the lack of attention from the school is an impact on teacher performance. The unilateral policies given to the teacher have become tiring pressure on the teacher and have an impact on the lack of desire for creativity in improving student learning outcomes as seen in the results of students' final exam scores. This study uses Professional Commitment and Job Satisfaction as independent variables, Teacher Performance as the dependent variable, and Organizational Commitment as a moderating variable. This study used 29 teachers as respondents and used SPSS software in processing and analyzing data. This research results that Job Satisfaction affects Organizational Commitment, Job Satisfaction affects Teacher Performance, Organizational Commitment affects Teacher Performance, Professional Commitment affects Organizational Commitment and Professional Commitment affects Teacher Performance. Job Satisfaction indirectly affects Teacher Performance through Organizational Commitment, and Professional Commitment indirectly affects Teacher Performance through Organizational Commitment.
The Impact of Packaging and Labeling Elements on the Rural Consumers’ Purchase Decision for Skincare Products in Bangladesh
Authors:   American International University (Bangladesh), Rodrick Stanley Sumon , Islam Hamidul , Zadid Ahmed Ishtiaq
Published: December 2020

Differences in socio-economic conditions, demographics, and infrastructural variances in the rural markets create substantial variances in the consumption patterns compared with the urban markets. As per a report of the World Bank, about 63 percent of the population resides in Bangladesh’s rural areas as it constitutes a bigger market for the consumption of different products. The researchers envision identifying the impact of packaging and labeling elements in the decision-making evaluation for different skincare products. The research exploration comprises of four objectives, i.e., perception and attitude towards packaging and labeling elements for the rural consumers, measuring the relative impact based on the demographical changes, determining the sensitivity towards branding elements and communication portrayed, and the ability in identifying the original skincare products in comparison with the copy products in the rural markets. The researchers conducted surveys in the Mymensingh, Netrokona, Jamalpur, and Sherpur Districts of the greater Mymensingh Division of Bangladesh. A total of 390 responses were selected based on the non-probability sampling frame. The target sample age group was chosen between 13 to 54 years. Researchers developed a questionnaire in combination with close-ended questions along with simple dichotomies. For analyzing the outcomes, the researchers have applied a statistical method of the “Z-test” Technique. The researchers identified that the packaging and labeling of skincare products influence rural consumers’ behavior. Different promotional strategies and trade marketing activities are recommended based on the findings, reinforcing the rural consumers’ acceptance of skincare products.
The Ramifications of the Treasury Single Account, the Ifmis Platform, and Government Cash Management in Developing Economies in the Wake of the Covid-19 Pandemic: Ghana’s Empirical Example

Published: December 2020

In recent years, the combined effects of inflation, recession, high-interest rates, new investment media and technological advances in information processing have made “Cash Management” an increasingly important and complex subject (IMF, 2001; Ter-Minassian and Parente, 1995). At times, the desire and effort to squeeze out the most from every dollar and to minimise idle cash balances has become an obsession with many organisations and countries. Therefore, effective and efficient Cash Management has become a “sine qua non” for the success of any business organisation (Horcher, 2006a; White, 2006). And Countries, “as Corporate Entities”, are no exceptions to this basic fundamental business principle (Wood & Sangster, 2012). The Theoretical Framework of this study was underpinned by the Stakeholder Theory (Freeman, 1984), the Financial Management Theory (Hayes and Nolan, 1974; Kingston, 1973), and the Modern Money Theory (Friedman, 1964; Keynes, 1930; Mitchell-Innes, 1914). We conducted a cross-sectional research through non-probability and purposive sampling with 200 respondents. Our face-to-face interviews, structured closed-ended and open-ended Questionnaires which were administered online through email application via Google Forms (as a result of the novel, dreaded, and disruptive Covid-19 pandemic), coupled with PETS (Khan and Pessoa, 2010; Reinikka and Svennson, 2006) resulted in startling revelations. Our major finding was that a government lacking an efficient and effective control over its cash resources will definitely pay for its institutional deficiencies in multiple ways (Ahmed, 2016).

Published: December 2020

Over the past years, the International GNSS Service (IGS) has been putting efforts into extending its service towards the Multi-GNSS Experiment and Pilot Project (MGEX). Several MGEX Analysis Centers (ACs) contribute by providing solutions containing not only GPS and GLONASS but also Galileo, BeiDou, and QZSS. The MGEX orbit and clock combination is a product that is still not consolidated inside the IGS and requires studies in order to provide a consistent solution. In this contribution, we present a least-squares framework for a multi-GNSS orbit combination, where the weights used to combine the ACs' orbits are determined by least-squares variance component estimation. We introduce and compare two weighting strategies, where either AC specific weights or AC and constellation specific weights are used. Both strategies are tested using MGEX orbit solutions for a period of two and a half years. They yield similar results with an agreement with the ACs' orbits at the one centimeter level for GPS and up to a few centimeters for the other constellations. The agreement is generally slightly better with the AC and constellation weighting. A comparison of our combination approach with the official combined IGS final solution using three years of GPS, and GLONASS orbits from the regular IGS processing shows an agreement of better than 5 mm and 12 mm for GPS and GLONASS, respectively. An external validation using Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR) is performed for our combined MGEX orbit solutions with both weighting schemes.
Gender Discourses as a ‘Technology of Power’ in Nepalese Primary Level Textbooks
Authors: Paneru Pragya
Published: December 2020

The Gender gap is one of the most prominent problems in the context of Nepal. Even if Nepal constitution promotes gender equality and equity, there is still a huge gap between male and female. Women lag in literary percentage, nutritional health conditions, ownership, and employment opportunities. One of the obstacles in the path of gender equality is our systemic education materials especially our textbooks which reinforce the stereotypical concept of male and female through textbook representations. Researchers have shown that gender stereotypes have been seen in the textbooks of highly developed countries like America, Australia, and Hongkong. In this context, all the compulsory textbooks of grade four and five prescribed by the Curriculum Development Centre in the context of Nepal were observed. In all the books, stereotypical representations of male and female characters were found. Most of the men and women were presented doing conventional gender roles, and male-centered themes are found in the narratives. This research claims that when conventional attitude regarding gender is transferred to young children, it ultimately reproduces similar gendered personalities and helps to maintain the gender gap. This research uses the concept of ‘technology of power’ by Foucault to interpret gender representations in textbooks. A Ccritical Discourse Analysis has been used to analyze the data from textbooks. The findings suggest that there are biased gender representations suggesting stereotypes and gender binary which could potentially affect the learners both male and female as it fosters false knowledge regarding gender and overburdens the male whereas humiliates the females.
Electro Optical Terahertz Pulse Reflectometry—A Fast and Highly Accurate Non-Destructive Fault Isolation Technique for 3D Flip Chip Packages
Authors: Barbeau Stephane , Alton Jesse , Igarashi Martin
Published: December 2020

Electro Optical Terahertz Pulse Reflectometry (EOTPR), a terahertz based Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) technique, has been evaluated on Flip Chip (FC) and 3D packages. The reduced size and complexity of these new generations of advanced IC products necessitate non-destructive techniques with increased fault isolation accuracy. The minimum accuracy achievable with conventional TDR is approximately 1000μm. Here, we show that EOTPR is able to differentiate all of the critical features in a 3D FC package, such as μC4 and Through Silicon Via (TSV), and is capable of producing distance-to-defect accuracy of less than 20μm, a significant improvement over conventional microwave based TDR techniques.

Published: December 2020

Hardware Trojans are malicious changes to the design of integrated circuits (ICs) at different stages of the design and fabrication processes. Different approaches have been developed to detect Trojans namely non-destructive (electrical tests like run-time monitoring, functional and structural tests) and destructive (full chip reverse engineering). However, these methods cannot detect all types of Trojans and they suffer from a number of disadvantages such as slow speed of detection and lack of confidence in detecting all types of Trojans. Majority of hardware Trojans implemented in an IC will leave a footprint at the doping (active) layer. In this paper, we introduce a new version of our previously developed “Trojan Scanner” [1] framework for the untrusted foundry threat model, where a trusted GDSII layout (golden layout) is available. Advanced computer vision algorithms in combination with the supervised machine-learning model are used to classify different features of the golden layout and SEM images from an IC under authentication, as a unique descriptor for each type of gates. These descriptors are compared with each other to detect any subtle changes on the active region, which can raise the flag for the existence of a potential hardware Trojan. The descriptors can differentiate variation due to fabrication process, defects, and common SEM image distortions to rule out the possibility of false detection. Our results demonstrate that Trojan Scanner is more reliable than electrical testing and faster than full chip reverse engineering. Trojan Scanner does not rely on the functionality of the circuit rather focuses on the real physical structure to detect malicious changes inserted by the untrusted foundry.
In-House Transistors’ Layer Reverse Engineering Characterization of a 45nm SoC
Authors: Courbon Dr. Franck
Published: December 2020

Reverse engineering typically requires expensive equipment, skilled technicians, time, a cross section of the component to be sliced out, and a dedicated reconstruction software. In this paper, we present a low-cost alternative, combining fast frontside sample preparation, electron microscopy imaging, similar standard cell recognition, as well as within and between die Standard Cell Statistical Analysis (SCSA). We develop the process to access the transistor’s drain/source area; image the full surface; develop a robust pattern recognition tool and analyze the standard cell size, local / global location and occurrences number. We present the inner workings of each step and results on 45–65nm FCBGA devices enabling to locate specific areas (core registers, hardware accelerator, and so on) within a die, and find similarities between dies. We particularly point out the importance of such design information extraction for local fault injection and hardware assurance. The primary goal is to analyze how much integrated circuit design information can be retrieved with minimal costs and without outsourcing.
Еconomic principles and ecological consequences of land use in urban and suburban areas
Authors:   National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine, Nazarenko V.
Published: December 2020

The paper analyses the underlying economic factors of the large cities, urban center in different geographical regions. It describes the ecological consequences of extensive land use in the urban region, determine the expenses of the city budget of the ecology related factors, such as trash collection and utilization, carbon emissions reduction, level of green areas, costs of their maintenance and sustainable development. The future projections are based on the Paris climate agreement and national or city level plan of sustainable development till 2035. The article deals with difference of income, land prices and land use models of the large cities, how they are different and like other metapolicies worldwide and in the geographical region. The paper examined the issue of how government regulate land use in the context of the large city, legal status of the cities and what role they pay in economic development. The determining economic principles that were introduced in this research are land prices for different use cases, such as industrial, commercial, and residential relative to general level of economic development of the city. Other key factors are rent prices withing the context of income and number of employees, corporations that operate in the city. Following cities Shanghai, New York, Mexico City, Paris, and Kyiv, were picked to analyze the land use patterns, ecology related expanse and future forecast modeling. In this paper we highlighted several key differences between those cities. Size of the urban land area and metropolitan areas are where most of differences are. While the geographical boundaries of the core city itself or the downtown areas produced similar results, regardless of the city geographical or economic development levels. Results of economic modeling of the ecological related budget spending, sustainable development 2035 plan, highlight that cities with larger budgets, such as NY city or Shanghai, spend relatively to the total sum less on the ecology, while cities that encountered with ecological problems, such as Mexico City, plan to spend more on the future sustainable development. At the same time, some cities in the countries that signed Paris agreement, do not have specific economical plans on future development, such as Kyiv.

By concluding an agreement, each party assumes certain obligations and gives the other party the opportunity to protect their rights in case of violation. A correctly drawn up contract and estimate describe in detail the obligations of the customer and contractor, the procedure for their implementation and scope. For the customer, this means that he can be sure of the quality and volume of the services provided. For the contractor, this is confidence that the payment will be timely, and the procedure for accepting services and the criteria for their implementation will not change. The agreement will serve as a guarantee of fulfillment of obligations and protection of rights.
Intracoronary Thrombolysis in no Flow after Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Acute Myocardial Infarction
Authors: Datta Goutam
Published: December 2020

Introduction: Mechanical revascularization of the infarct-related artery (IRA) is the most effective treatment modality in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).No-reflow occurs in ∼8.8-10% of cases of primary percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI) in STEMI patients. Intracoronary tenectaplase was used when there was huge thrombus causing no flow in coronary artery following primary PCI in STEMI patients. Methods: Five hundred and eighty primary PCI patients were studied over a period of two years i.e. January 2016 to December 2017. Drug eluting stents were used in all cases. Majority of our patients (>90%) came 6 hours after onset of chest pain. There were many patients where there was no flow even after mechanical thrombus aspiration and pharmacological vasodilator therapy. We have given 20 mg of tenectaplase through microcatheter in those cases. Results: There were 44 cases of no flow in our series (7.75%). TIMI 3 Flow was reestablished in thirty two patients after intracoronary tenectaplase (72%). Amongst twelve failure cases LAD involvement was most common eight cases. RCA was involved in four patients. One month mortality rate in no flow group was 50% and 6.25% in successful recanalization group. One year mortality was 12.5% in successful recanalization group and 66% in no flow group. Both were statistically significant. Conclusion: Refractory no reflow during primary PCI in STEMI is associated with high mortality and morbidity. There is no established strategy to solve this phenomenon. Intracoronary thrombolysis is an option to salvage these patients.
Dream-Realities
Authors: Chavoshian Sana
Published: December 2020

Casting the fallen soldiers of the Iran-Iraq War (1980–1988) as ‘martyrs’ plays a crucial role in the legitimation discourse of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The government has succeeded in integrating many ‘martyr families’ into a state-revering political cult. This ethnographic study draws on theories of affect and atmosphere to investigate how practices around saintly dreams and their materialization in photographs and gravestones of martyrs have challenged the state narratives and discourses. I approach the veneration of martyrs through both affective and narrative sources and explore gravestones as new saintly localities. These localities are spaces of divinely intermediation with intimate connection to the transcendental realm. The multifaceted atmosphere of these sites offers nonconformist and heterogeneous entanglements in which dream-images of martyrs allow for the momentary subversion of the state’s political cult.

Çalışma grubuna açık uçlu 7 sorudan oluşan görüşme formu ve 4 soruluk demografik bilgi formu uygulanmıştır. Görüşmeler sonucunda elde edilen verilerin çözümlenmesinde betimsel analiz tekniğinden yararlanılmıştır. Bu çalışmadan elde edilen bulgular doğrultusunda devlet okullarında görev yapan müzik öğretmenlerinin ders yüklerinin az olduğu; özel okullarda görev yapan öğretmenlerin ise yoğun bir ders yükü ve iş yükü ile stres altında çalıştıkları, anaokulundan liseye kadar tüm kademelerde müzik derslerini gerçekleştirdikleri tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca özel okul öğretmenlerin çalıştıkları kurumların fiziki ve maddi koşullarının yeterli olduğu yönünde; devlet okullarında görev yapan öğretmenlerin ise çalıştıkları kurumların fiziki ve maddi koşullarının yeterli olmadığı yönünde görüş bildirdikleri belirlenmiştir.Bu makale için 30-06-2021 tarihinde bir düzeltme yayınlandı. https://dergipark.org.tr/tr/pub/ejmd/issue/63535/963363
„Idealny” kalendarz w Księdze Jubileuszy
Authors: Tronina Antoni
Published: December 2020

W połowie II w. przed Chr. judaizm palestyński doznał głębokiego wstrząsu, spowodowanego m.in. wprowadzeniem do kultu świątynnego kalendarza pogańskiego. Reakcją na tę rewolucję było powstanie machabejskie, a w konsekwencji secesja na pustynię części kapłanów i wiernych pod wodzą Mistrza Sprawiedliwości. Przyjęli oni własny kalendarz liturgiczny, poświadczony nieco wcześniej przez autora Księgi Jubileuszy. Podstawą obliczeń dat świątecznych nie są tam cykle księżyca, lecz rok słoneczny, liczący 364 dni. Liczba ta, podzielna przez 7, umożliwiła świętowanie szabatu i świąt Izraela w stałym porządku, bez zakłóceń związanych z nierównością miesięcy księżycowych.

Simulación y evaluación de un proceso productivo de suelas termoplásticas en Colombia
Authors: Correa Sepúlveda Angie Paola , Castro Castro Julián Andrés , Jiménez Carolina Garcés , Ceballos Yony Fernando
Published: December 2020

The footwear industry is made up of various types of products and is an important economy line in Colombia. Footwear products aimed at improving occupational safety and health must meet high quality standards and are expensive to produce. The thermoplastic soles production for footwear is complex and it is necessary to evaluate different phases of the process that can be improved and subsequently apply policies that contribute to the improvement of these critical points. For this research, the main variables associated with the elaboration of thermoplastic soles were analyzed, where the bottlenecks were located and a set of solution scenarios are proposed, which allow a reduction in production cost and time.
La gestión territorial requiere coherencia. Una comprobación en Colombia

Published: December 2020

Existe coherencia en la gestión territorial si, de manera gradual y en el largo plazo, se evidencia que los proyectos planificados en conjunto con la comunidad, efectivamente, se realizan con calidad y ajustados a cambios exigidos en la relación sociedad-naturaleza. El objetivo de esta investigación fue identificar distintos aspectos para evaluar la coherencia de la gestión territorial y probar algunos de ellos en Colombia. El estudio, se llevó a cabo en cuatro etapas: análisis de la gestión territorial desde la coherencia; análisis de los instrumentos de planeación territorial, en los cuatro principales municipios del país; contraste de datos financieros en el componente ambiental y aplicación de entrevistas a personas representativas de la comunidad. Se logró plantear: tres categorías con 13 parámetros, para la medición de la gestión territorial; el análisis de 24 instrumentos locales en Barranquilla, Bogotá, Medellín y Cali; se profundizó en la forma en que el componente ambiental es preponderante en la gestión territorial y se evidenció con la comunidad, la distancia existente entre el desarrollo planeado y los proyectos realizados. El estudio muestra la urgencia en la transformación de las acciones sobre el territorio local, de manera colectiva, continua, consistente, con calidad y con visión ambiental y global.
Unsatisfiable Core Analysis and Aggregates for Optimum Stable Model Search
Authors: Alviano Mario , Dodaro Carmine
Published: December 2020

Many efficient algorithms for the computation of optimum stable models in the context of Answer Set Programming (ASP) are based on unsatisfiable core analysis. Among them, algorithm OLL was the first introduced in the context of ASP, whereas algorithms ONE and PMRES were first introduced for solving the Maximum Satisfiability problem (MaxSAT) and later on adapted to ASP. In this paper, we present the porting to ASP of another state-of-the-art algorithm introduced for MaxSAT, namely K, which generalizes ONE and PMRES. Moreover, we present a new algorithm called OLL-IN-ONE that compactly encodes all aggregates of OLL by taking advantage of shared aggregate sets propagators. The performance of the algorithms have been empirically compared on instances taken from the latest ASP Competition.
Uni- and multivariate probability density models for numeric subgroup discovery

Subgroup Discovery is a supervised, exploratory data mining paradigm that aims to identify subsets of a dataset that show interesting behaviour with respect to some designated target attribute. The way in which such distributional differences are quantified varies with the target attribute type. This work concerns continuous targets, which are important in many practical applications. For such targets, differences are often quantified using z-score and similar measures that compare simple statistics such as the mean and variance of the subset and the data. However, most distributions are not fully determined by their mean and variance alone. As a result, measures of distributional difference solely based on such simple statistics will miss potentially interesting subgroups. This work proposes methods to recognise distributional differences in a much broader sense. To this end, density estimation is performed using histogram and kernel density estimation techniques. In the spirit of Exceptional Model Mining, the proposed methods are extended to deal with multiple continuous target attributes, such that comparisons are not restricted to univariate distributions, but are available for joint distributions of any dimensionality. The methods can be incorporated easily into existing Subgroup Discovery frameworks, so no new frameworks are developed.
