Islamic Identity and Foreign Policy Discourse: Indonesia’s Responses to the US War in Afghanistan (2001-2002)
Authors: Salim Agus
Published: April 2020

Observers of Indonesia’s foreign policy commonly argue that while the state needs to include domestic Muslim interests in its foreign policy formulation, foreign policy officials have rarely considered Islam in their policy choices, with a dual-identity predicament constraining such a move. This article challenges this argument by demonstrating that foreign policy leaders have begun referring to Islamic identity and norms when justifying Indonesia’s foreign policy choices. By discussing Indonesia’s foreign policy responses to the United States’ war in Afghanistan in 2001, this paper elucidates the way in which Indonesia’s foreign policy leaders have constructed Islam as an “inclusive civilizational” identity in their foreign policy discourse, legitimizing their alliance with the global war on terrorism amid staunch domestic Muslim opposition to the war. They managed to turn identity constraint into opportunity by framing their policies within the context of “inclusive” and “integrative” Islamic values and norms.

Introduction: Esophageal cancer (EC) is a malignant disease with low survival rates and limited treatment options in the later stages. The epidemiological situation in developed countries tends to improve. However, in most states, including the Russian Federation, the situation remains in critical condition.

Epidemiology of EC: Esophageal cancer is one of the most aggressive malignant disease. According to the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), in 2018, 572 thousand new cases of RP were registered in the world (3.2 % of the total number of malignant disease). In 2018, 508.6 thousand deaths from cancer were recorded in the world (5.3 % of the total number of deaths from cancer, 6th place) [1].

EC risk factors: The following factors play an important role in the etiology of squamous EC:

1. Diet (nitrites, hot food and drinks, insufficient intake of vitamins and minerals with food).

2. Tobacco and alcohol use are independent risk factors, but when combined with others, they increase

the risk of the disease.

3. Achalasia of the cardia.

4. Burns of the esophagus.

5. Autosomal dominant diseases characterized by hyperkeratosis of the palms of the hands and feet.

The risk of developing EC reaches 37 % [2].

6. Human papillomavirus types 16 and 18 causes a risk of EC in 37 % of patients.

Diagnostic methods: Traditional methods for the diagnosis of EC are: esophagogastroduodenosocpy with biopsy, endoscopic ultrasound with puncture biopsy of the mediastinal lymph nodes, computed tomography of the chest and abdominal organs (including contrast), magnetic resonance imaging of the chest cavity (including with contrasting), positron emission tomography with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (including combined with computed tomography).

Published: April 2020

In 2017 S. Ghour and B. Irshedat defined the θω - closure operator as a new topological operator and introduced θω - open sets as a new class of sets and proved that this class of sets is strictly between the class of open sets and the class of θ - open sets. In this paper we introduce θω - continuous, θω - irresolute, θω - open, θω - closed, pre - θω - open, θω - pre closed, contra θω - continuous and almost contra θω - continuous mappings and investigate properties and characterizations of these new types of mappings in topological spaces.
MODELLING TRAVELLER’S GROUND ACCESS MODE CHOICE OF DUBAI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES
Authors: Alkaabi Khaula
Published: April 2020

With increased demand for air travel, airports have become economic engines of the regional development that connect aviation systems with other modes of transportation facilitating the movement of people and cargo. Originating air passengers account for the majority of passenger trips to and from an airport and have different ground access needs. Since the air transportation is interrelated to ground transportation, studying ground access mode choice of airport users is a crucial part of airport management and system planning. The purpose of this study is to identify Dubai International Airport (DXB) ground access mode characteristics and users located in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), which has not been studied previously. Although there are many different modes of transportation serving the airport, yet personal vehicles are the main mode used to arrive to the airport. Binary logistic regression models are developed to evaluate access mode choice for originating air travelers focusing on the mix between private vehicle and public transportation system (taxi, limousine, bus network, and Dubai metro) using data collected specifically for this study. A total of 1012 air travelers were interviewed and completed the questionnaire in December 2014. Models result showed that access mode choice is significantly affected by different socio-economic characteristics of travelers including income, nationality, household size, vehicle ownership; and different trip characteristics that include number of travelers and how often air travelers use public ransportation in their community.
The Perception of Time in Air transport – What a Delay is accepted by Air Travellers?
Authors: Wittmer Andreas , Laesser Christian
Published: April 2020

This paper is about the perception of time by air travellers on business trips. Time is becoming a more relevant factor at airports due to all security checks. Furthermore, punctuality of airlines becomes an increasingly relevant factor due to overfilled airspaces around mega hubs. The question which arises is what level of delay is still accepted by air passengers on business trips without creating dissatisfaction with the delayed airline and if the accepted delay changes with frequency of air travels by business passengers. The sample includes 2834 air travellers which were interviewed before they were entering their flights at gates or in business lounges. The results reveal that a delay up to 30 minutes is acceptable in air travel. The more a passenger travels by plane the lower is the level of acceptance towards delays or the more punctuality becomes a basic factor and a power factor.
Biometric Access to Training Devices as a Security Protocol in Flight Training
Authors: Dillman Brian , Hendricks Renee , Petrelli Michael , Elliott Stephen
Published: April 2020

Mechanical locks and keys are conventional access control devices utilized for both flight training devices and training aircraft, but keys can be copied, locks can be bypassed, and in the case of electronic flight training devices, unqualified instructors or students may utilize the equipment, possibly causing the equipment to fail. The faculty in the Aviation Technology Department at Purdue University performed this study to determine if biometric usage is a feasible and secure method in operating a flight training device and eventually securing an actual aircraft versus the older lock and key method. A Finger-vein biometric reader was installed onto a Frasca Advanced Aviation Training Device (AATD) and the software was installed such that identification had to be made prior to the program being able to initialize. The data collected from the survey includes information such as user interface issues and conditions which affect the failure reads such the placement of the flight instructor’s finger on the biometric device.
Terrorism and tourism: the way travellers select airlines and destinations
Authors: Pappas Nikolaos
Published: April 2020

Terrorism is seen as an influence factor for tourists in order to select transportation mean and destination. The Mediterranean Region is the most famous tourist destination globally, and most of its visitors use airplanes in order to be transported. The purpose of this study is to examine the perceptions of tourists traveling by air in accordance with the influence of terrorism concerning the selection of the air company, the preferable destination, and their alternations in traveling behavior. The technique undertaken in order to reach the objectives is personal – structured interviewing, and a random starting method was also selected in order to reach the respondents. For better comprehension of the perspectives’ formulation there was an analysis of five socio-demographic characteristics (gender, age, level of education, marital status, and travel frequency). The results provide interesting outcomes concerning the degree of the perceived risk factors that tourists take under consideration for their decisions. Furthermore the paper suggests for decision makers further policies that can be undertaken in airlines and destinations.
QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PROFILE OF DEPARTING PASSENGERS AND THEIR PERCEPTION OF THE AIRPORT TERMINAL
Authors: Bandeira Michelle , Correia Anderson
Published: April 2020

The opinion of passengers on the degree of importance of the components is required in order to prioritize services. A low service level can, besides causing inconvenience for terminal users, increase the waste of resources and increase costs if there is no adequate planning. Hence, outlining passenger profiles at the airport is relevant to strategic planning of airport activity management. It is believed that individual characteristics could influence opinion on the degree of importance or about the quality of airport services. This article shows that the check-in and the departure lounge were considered the most important areas in the airport terminal by passengers. Finally it was noted that the age and reason for travel influenced the passengers’ perception about the check-in area and the frequency of flying influenced the perception of the departure lounge.
FROM CARPET SELLERS TO CARGO STARS: ANALYZING STRATEGIES OF AIR CARGO CARRIERS
Authors: Dewulf Wouter , Meersman Hilde , Van de Voorde Eddy
Published: April 2020

While some research has been done on passenger airlines strategy, the strategies of air cargo carriers have hardly been researched. This paper analyses and compares the strategies of air cargo carriers. Therefore, a typology of management strategies for both combination and full cargo airlines has been developed, in which the various strategy choices within the strategic framework of the respective air cargo carriers are further elaborated. The typology has been developed through a K-means cluster analysis on a data set of 47 air cargo carriers. The use of a cluster analysis to group the strategy models of a number of air cargo carriers is a novel feature of this research. The results of this research generate a typology of seven representative clusters of air cargo carriers’ strategy models, each with their own characterizing features. Striking differences and similarities are highlighted. Our findings suggest the clear existence of different strategy models and the differing degree of focus on air cargo strategy development and deployment among the air cargo carriers’ population.
ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING - APPLICATION OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE AVIATION INDUSTRY
Authors: Dhital Dipesh , Ziegler Yvonne
Published: April 2020

Additive Manufacturing also known as 3D Printing is a process whereby a real object of virtually any shape can be created layer by layer from a Computer Aided Design (CAD) model. As opposed to the conventional Subtractive Manufacturing that uses cutting, drilling, milling, welding etc., 3D printing is a free-form fabrication process and does not require any of these processes. The 3D printed parts are lighter, require short lead times, less material and reduce environmental footprint of the manufacturing process; and is thus beneficial to the aerospace industry that pursues improvement in aircraft efficiency, fuel saving and reduction in air pollution. Additionally, 3D printing technology allows for creating geometries that would be impossible to make using moulds and the Subtractive Manufacturing of drilling/milling. 3D printing technology also has the potential to re-localize manufacturing as it allows for the production of products at the particular location, as and when required; and eliminates the need for shipping and warehousing of final products.
AIRLINE SERVICE FAILURE AND RECOVERY: THE IMPACT OF RELATIONSHIP FACTORS ON CUSTOMER SATISFACTION
Authors: Jeng Chi-Ruey
Published: April 2020

In aviation industries, service failure during the service delivery process is foreseeable and leads to passenger complaints, which therefore presents the perfect opportunity for airlines to improve their service process and quality and examine their internal organization. Concurrently, the quality of the service recovery measures reflects the ability of airlines to respond to and handle traveler complaints. By rectifying service failures, airlines can enhance traveler satisfaction toward airlines services, thereby generating loyal customers who would engage in word-of-mouth marketing. This study aims to do examine the relationship between service failure, service recovery and passenger’s satisfaction with service recovery types, employee prompt handling, and service recovery efficiency. The questionnaires used in this study consisted of three sections: (1) Customers’ perception of the service recovery types; this section entails using passengers’ subjective perceptions to evaluate the service recovery types adopted by the airlines when handling flight delay situations. (2) Customers’ perception of the airlines employee’s prompt handling; the traveler’s subjective perception to evaluate the airlines employees’ direct responses to flight delays. (3) Customers’ perception of the problem-solving efficiency; this section involves using the passengers’ subjective perception to evaluate the overall flight delay recovery progress. The traveler characteristics were divided into ‘passenger attributes’ and ‘traveling attributes’ and their relationships with service recovery types, employee’s prompt handling, and problem solving efficiency were examined. The research results showed that passenger attributes demonstrated no significant differences with the three dimensions (i.e., service recovery types, employee’s prompt handling, and problem solving efficiency). However, concerning traveling attributes, ‘purpose of travel’ and ‘flight delay experience’ demonstrated significant differences with the threedimensions.

Published: April 2020

The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of different wayfinding provision on senior driving behaviour and road safety. A car driving simulator was used to model scenarios of differing wayfinding complexity and road design. Three scenario types were designed consisting of 3.8 miles of airport road. Wayfinding complexity varied due to differing levels of road-side furniture. Experienced car drivers were asked to drive simulated routes. Forty drivers in the age ranges: 50 to 54, 55 to 59 and those aged over 60 were selected to perform the study. Participants drove for approximately 20 minutes to complete the simulated driving. The driver performance was compared between age groups. Results were analysed by Mean, Standard Deviation and ANOVA Test, and discussed with reference to the use of the driving simulator. The ANOVA confirmed that age group has a correlation between road design complexity, driving behaviour and driving errors.

L’intimité du patient à l’épreuve des échanges dans l’équipe : le bilan psychologique et la prise en charge thérapeutique
Authors: Perrin-Costantino Charlotte , Verdon Benoît
Published: April 2020

Le travail clinique relève d’une position paradoxale puisque l’écoute des soignants, notamment celle du psychologue, est par excellence écoute de l’intime, alors que dans le même temps est attendu d’eux une capacité à préserver les espaces intimes. Le psychologue, comme tout professionnel d’une équipe de soin, va donc chercher à aménager les conditions d’une intimité partagée, mais sans que le patient ait jamais le sentiment d’une intrusion, d’un supposé savoir sur son fonctionnement intime sans qu’il n’en ait lui-même livré les clés. Respecter l’intimité constitue une exigence éthique qui se donne à lire dans presque tous les codes de déontologie des différentes professions. Les auteurs de cet article se proposent d’explorer cet aspect du travail clinique mis à l’épreuve des échanges d’équipe, notamment dans deux registres : le partage d’informations livrées dans le cadre des entretiens, en particulier ceux du psychologue, et le partage des éléments issus d’une évaluation psychologique.

Qu’est-ce représentait-il le corps pour la sociologie classique et comme est-il considéré aujourd’hui par les contemporains ? Cette contribution envisage d’illustrer l’état des études sur le corps en prenant les diverses approches théoriques des classiques et des contemporains ainsi que les récents développements empiriques. Une lecture à travers les analyses de Durkheim, Goffman, Simmel, Bourdieu jusqu’aux contributions empiriques récentes. Toujours considéré comme un sujet de disciplines comme la médecine et l’esthétique, dans ce cas l’intérêt des chercheurs en question prend en considération les changements socio-culturels et les interrogations d’une riche liste de références sur le rôle social du corps. Corps, identité, changement socio-culturel sont les trois piliers de cette réflexion. Le corps est ainsi étudié comme « objets » social inséré dans un contenant varié de modes de vie, liens sociaux, diversités culturelles. Quels sont les risques du corps aujourd’hui ? À ce propos, la relation entre Ego et Alter sera fondamentale en tant que processus social complexe où les adultes et en particulier les jeunes, se trouvent, vivent et se confrontent réciproquement comme dans le cas des « Emo » dont le corps est l’objet de rituels qui méritent d’être étudiés à l’ère des technologies et de l’esthétique des apparences dans le web.

Authors: Chew Carmen , Rahman Ropilah Abdul , Shafie Suraiya M. , Mohamad Zainal
Published: April 2020

Purpose:

To determine the mydriatic regimen that provides optimal dilation of the pupil with minimal systemic side effects for screening of retinopathy of prematurity.

Methods:

This cross-sectional, randomized, double-masked clinical trial compared cyclopentolate 1% + phenylephrine 2.5%, tropicamide 1% + phenylephrine 2.5%, and a prepared combination of cyclopentolate 0.2% with phenylephrine 1% for pupillary dilation in preterm infants with dark irides. Thirteen infants were randomized to each regimen. Outcomes measured were pupillary dilation, heart rate, blood pressure, abdominal girth, and intolerance to feeds.

Results:

All three mydriatic regimens provided adequate pupillary dilation at 45 minutes, with dilation sustained at 60 minutes. There was a significant increase in mean blood pressure in the cyclopentolate 1% + phenylephrine 2.5% and the tropicamide 1% + phenylephrine 2.5% groups. Although there was no significant change of abdominal girth in any of the three groups, a total of eight patients developed intolerance to feeds; four (50%) of these infants were from the cyclopentolate 1% + phenylephrine 2.5% group.

Conclusion:

The prepared combination of cyclopentolate 0.2% + phenylephrine 1% appears to be the mydriatic of choice for preterm infants with dark irides as it provided adequate pupillary dilation with the least systemic side effects.

Published: April 2020

We present only the second reported case in the literature of a neuroenteric cyst involving the third cranial nerve. Our case is highlighted by the initial presentation of an isolated anisocoria, initially believed to represent an Adie's tonic pupil as interpreted by pharmacologic testing. False-positive results may occur with the dilute pilocarpine test.

Mobile learning is fairly new in the local context, particularly for STEM subjects in Malaysia universities. However, this raises the issue of the ethics of mobile technology. With the advancement of mobile technologies few studies have been conducted for mobile ethics in student-generated activities. The aim of this research is to investigate the impact of mobile learning student-generated activities ethics in Malaysia. The methodology used in this research is largely qualitative with students from a local university in Malaysia. This novel study developed early themes that sign post factors for mobile ethics in student-generated activities in a Malaysian university context for STEM subjects.

Sur la base des Inscriptions Latines du territoire de Vienne (ILN Vienne, 935 inscriptions), les auteurs ont relevé 22 textes pouvant mis être mis en relation avec des sculptures (mention dans le texte du terme latin désignant une « statue » ou traces d’accrochage d’une statue). Après avoir examiné les différents termes employés et leur polyvalence, cet article analyse les différents monuments où se dressaient ces statues, ce qu’elles représentaient (dieux, notables), leur statut juridique et l’origine des financements. L’ensemble des textes étudiés est fourni en annexe.
Gli spazi pubblici di rappresentazione tra memoria civica e celebrazione imperiale a Luni e in Cisalpina
Authors: Cadario Matteo
Published: April 2020

L’article propose une réflexion sur les espaces de représentation en Italie du Nord à partir de la ville de Luni. À Luni, il est possible d’obtenir une vue d’ensemble de la présence des statues impériales et des statues des élites locales dans une ville romaine de taille moyenne. Après la présentation des statues et des dédicaces découvertes dans les loca publica (area Capitolina, Basilique, Forum, Curie, Area con fontane, théâtre, « Grande Tempio »), le celeberrimus locus de Luni a été reconnu sur le côté nord du forum. Il était dédié à la construction de la mémoire civique à travers la conservation des anciens monuments honorifiques. Il été également possible de reconnaître l’espace choisi pour l’auto-représentation des élites municipales dans la porticus qui entoure le Capitolium. La répartition des portraits impériaux a finalement permis de suivre l’évolution de la hiérarchie des espaces de représentation dans la ville : la zone nord du forum était la seule à recevoir des honneurs pendant toute l’histoire de Luni. Vers le milieu du Ier s. ap. J.-C., il y avait une prolifération de lieux de représentation que conduirait à attribuer à la famille impériale au moins trois espaces privilégiés : l’odéon, la basilique et « l’Area con fontane ». L’image impériale était devenue omniprésente dans la ville. Au troisième siècle les espaces de représentation étaient réduits et les dédicaces étaient concentrées de nouveau dans l’area Capitolina.
Espaces et monuments funéraires en Arles : autour des stèles à portraits
Authors: Gaggadis-Robin Vassiliki , Heijmans Marc
Published: April 2020

Cette étude concerne un petit nombre de stèles (nos1-6) et un autel funéraires (n° 7), avec portraits et inscriptions. Ces documents ont été découverts en remploi à Arles ou dans son territoire et ne peuvent pas être mis en relation avec une nécropole. Au point de vue typologique prédomine la stèle à édicule et fronton ouvert en forme de coquille. Le portrait du défunt seul, en couple ou en famille figure sur la stèle qui peut avoir plusieurs registres (n° 2). Ce type, présent également à Nîmes, semble proche des productions de l’Italie du Nord. La majorité des documents peut être datée dans la première moitié du Ier s. de n. è. et représente pour certains les premiers portraits de citoyens d’Arles.
Deux lieux de culte de domaine foncier sous le regard croisé de l’archéologie, de la sculpture et de l’épigraphie : Saint-Vincent (Saint-Paul-Trois-Châteaux) et Beauvoir (Allan)
Authors: Golosetti Raphaël
Published: April 2020

Ces deux modestes sanctuaires dédiés aux Mères et établis sur un domaine foncier mettent en évidence la pertinence d’une démarche combinant l’étude des données épigraphiques et iconographiques dans leur contexte archéologique.Ils alimentent également la réflexion sur le rôle des lieux de culte établis à proximité immédiate des établissements ruraux : la nature des cultes rattache ces sanctuaires à la fois au monde agraire, aux espérances personnelles voire au monde des ancêtres des divers membres de la communauté vivant dans l’établissement. Ce dossier conduit aussi à rouvrir une piste de recherche stimulante quant à la relation entre le culte des Mères et d’autres divinités collectives féminines telles que les Proxsumes.Enfin une ouverture vers le reste de la Gaule démontre la fréquence de ce type de lieu de culte associé à une uilla, par ailleurs très souvent destiné à des cultes et pratiques très proches.
Learning From Class Imbalance
Authors: N. K. Sreeja
Published: April 2020

Learning a classifier from imbalanced data is one of the most challenging research problems. Data imbalance occurs when the number of instances belonging to one class is much less than the number of instances belonging to the other class. A standard classifier is biased towards the majority class and therefore misclassifies the minority class instances. Minority class instances may be regarded as rare events or unusual patterns that could potentially have a negative impact on the society. Therefore, detection of such events is considered significant. This chapter proposes a FireWorks-based Hybrid ReSampling (FWHRS) algorithm to resample imbalance data. It is used with Weighted Pattern Matching based classifier (PMC+) for classification. FWHRS-PMC+ was evaluated on 44 imbalanced binary datasets. Experiments reveal FWHRS-PMC+ is effective in classification of imbalanced data. Empirical results were validated using non-parametric statistical tests.

Authors: Xue Yu
Published: April 2020

As a recently developed swarm intelligence algorithm, fireworks algorithm (FWA) is an optimization algorithm with good convergence and extensible properties. Moreover, it is usually able to find the global solutions. The advantages of FWA are both optimization accuracy and convergence speed which endue the FWA with a promising prospect of application and extension. This chapter mainly focuses on the application of FWA in classification problems and the improvement of FWA. Many prior studies around FWA have been produced. The author here probes improvement of FWA and its application in classification. The chapter studies FWA around: (1) Application of FWA in classification problems; (2) Improvement of FWA's candidate solution generation strategy (CSGS), including the employment of self-adaptive mechanisms; (3) Improved SaFWA and classification model. For each part, the author conducts research through theory, experimentation, and results analysis.
Hybrid Bare Bones Fireworks Algorithm for Load Flow Analysis of Islanded Microgrids
Authors: Abdullah Saad Mohammad , Ahmed Ashik
Published: April 2020

In this chapter, a hybrid bare bones fireworks algorithm (HBBFWA) is proposed and its application in solving the load flow problem of islanded microgrid is demonstrated. The hybridization is carried out by updating the positions of generated sparks with the help of grasshopper optimization algorithm (GOA) mimicking the swarming behavior of grasshoppers. The purpose of incorporating GOA with bare bones fireworks algorithm (BBFWA) is to enhance the global searching capability of conventional BBFWA for complex optimization problems. The proposed HBBFWA is applied to perform the load flow analysis of a modified IEEE 37-Bus system. The performance of the proposed HBBFWA is compared against the performance of BBFWA in terms of computational time, convergence speed, and number of iterations required for convergence of the load flow problem. Moreover, standard statistical analysis test such as the independent sample t-test is conducted to identify statistically significant differences between the two algorithms.
