Interpretable Deep-Learning Unveils Structure-Property Relationships in Polybenzenoid Hydrocarbons
Authors: Weiss Tomer , Wahab Alexandra , Bronstein Alex M. , Gershoni-Poranne Renana
Published: May 2022

In this work, interpretable deep learning was used to identify structure-property relationships governing the HOMO-LUMO gap and relative stability of polybenzenoid hydrocarbons (PBHs). To this end, a ring-based graph representation was used. In addition to affording reduced training times and excellent predictive ability, this representation could be combined with a subunit-based perception of PBHs, allowing chemical insights to be presented in terms of intuitive and simple structural motifs. The resulting insights agree with conventional organic chemistry knowledge and electronic structure-based analyses, and also reveal new behaviors and identify influential structural motifs. In particular, we evaluated and compared the effects of linear, angular, and branching motifs on these two molecular properties, as well as explored the role of dispersion in mitigating torsional strain inherent in non-planar PBHs. Hence, the observed regularities and the proposed analysis contribute to a deeper understanding of the behavior of PBHs and form the foundation for design strategies for new functional PBHs.

Authors:   KOREA CPTED ASSOCIATION, Jeong Jiyeon , Park Hyeonho
Published: May 2022

Domestic burglaries are serious crimes that infringe on tranquility and safety in residential spaces, and have a huge impact on the fear of crime among the victims and local residents. In order to reduce these burglaries and crime fears, we compared before and after installation of certified security products using Target Hardening, one of CPTED's strategies to more directly and effectively block and prevent burglaries.
For the first time in Korea, crime prevention facilities were deployed in Maesan-dong-gil, Gongju-si, through the revision of local government ordinances, and the effect of the above certified security products support project was analyzed. During the implementation of the project, survey data were collected from residents two times in advance and after, a single group pre- and post-measurement design method, which is a semi-experimental design method, and reliability and validity were analyzed before research hypothesis verification of the research hypothesis.
As a result of the analysis, it was found that the occurrence of Burglary actually decreased after the installation of the Certified Security Products, and the specific fear of theft, robbery, sexual assault, and murder was confirmed. In addition, the perception of the effectiveness of the certified security products installation support project also showed a slight increase in positive perception in the post-survey. Lastly, it can be seen that the reliability of the local police has increased significantly in all variables of police trust, police crime prevention activity, dispatch, criminal arrest, police attitude, and cooperation with residents.
Therefore, it can be seen that the installation of certified security products reduces crime rate and fear of crime, increases positive awareness of the certified security products installation support project, and increases trust in local police. If such a target hardening CPTED project is carried out more actively in the future, it will contribute to the prevention of burglary and the safety of the people, and based on this, CPTED and target hardening will become basic residential environment elements.

Published: May 2022

Metabolic syndrome is not a disease but is a set of several disorders and causes an
increased risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes mellitus complications. Several
studies have shown that non-invasive approaches such as anthropometric measurements
can be used for the early detection of metabolic syndrome. This study aimed to analyse the
anthropometric indicators related to metabolic syndrome in female college students. The
design of this research was cross sectional, with the number of subjects involved were as
many as 163 female college students aged 19 to 24 years old. Purposive sampling was
used in the sampling of this research. The independent variables in this study were the
Waist-to-Height Ratio (WHtR), Waist-Hip Ratio (WHR), Body Mass Index (BMI),
Sagittal Abdominal Diameter (SAD), and hip circumference. The dependent variable in
this study is the metabolic syndrome component that has been converted into a metabolic
syndrome score (cMetS). The analysis results showed that all anthropometric indicators,
namely WHtR, BMI, SAD, waist circumference, hip circumference and WHR have a
strong positive relationship with the metabolic syndrome score (p<0.001). BMI was the
anthropometric indicator that is most associated with the metabolic profiles, such as
systolic blood pressure (p<0.001), blood sugar (p<0.05), and HDL (p<0.001). Waist
circumference was the anthropometric indicator that is most associated with triglycerides
and metabolic syndrome score (p<0.001). Metabolic syndrome in female college students
can be identified using anthropometric measurements, one of which is BMI and WHR
which are very easy to measure and efficient. BMI and WHR have the strongest
relationship and can be used to detect early risk of metabolic syndrome in female college
students.

Published: May 2022

The study was conducted to investigate the effect of drying temperature on a rotary type
of dryer for drying characteristics and antioxidant activity of Etlingera elatior flower. This
study used a lab-scale rotary dryer which was a modification of the commercial oven
heater from the market. The research design was a Randomized Block Design (RCBD)
with one factor, i.e. the drying temperature, which consisted of four temperature levels,
60oC, 70oC, 80oC and 90oC. All experiments were repeated six times. The results showed
that the drying of Etlingera elatior flowers at three different temperatures (70oC, 80oC and
90oC) required a shorter drying time than that of 60oC. The drying rate of the samples at
70oC, 80oC and 90oC was drastically decreased before the 200th min, while 60oC took a
long time to 380 mins. The drying rate pattern with the drying temperature of 60oC
showed a significantly lower total phenolic content of Etlingera flowers compared to
70oC, 80oC and 90oC, while there was no significant difference in total phenolic content
among 70oC, 80oC and 90oC. In addition, different drying temperatures did not give a
significant effect on the antioxidant activity based on the DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-
picrylhydrazyl radical) method. This study proposed the effectiveness of drying using a
rotary dryer in maintaining the total phenolic content and antioxidant activity of Etlingera
flowers.
“You can Point to This Card”: Trialling the use of Visual Aids in Teaching Children to use Ground Rules in Forensic Interviewing.
Authors:   , Shaw Tui
Published: May 2022

AbstractOften when children are interviewed, they are taught ground rules to help guide their responses to questions. Ground rules are utilised frequently in forensic interviewing, but there remain questions about their functionality and efficacy. This research examined the use of visual cue cards to teach children ground rules, First, we piloted the use of realistic photographs versus cartoon-like emoticons when responding us ground rules, and children showed an overwhelming preference for emoticons, so visual cue cards were developed using emoticons displaying gestures representing the ground rules. Then, 89 children aged 5-12 years participated in a staged event and were subsequently interviewed about it. Children were randomly assigned to a “business as usual” (BAU) control group (verbal instruction only) or to the visual aids (VA) group (verbal and visual instruction). We predicted that children in VA would respond better to training questions, and to challenge questions; and that they would spontaneously utilise ground rules more than those in BAU. Results did not support these hypotheses. Performance in responding with ground rules was relatively poor despite condition, with no significant differences in responding observed. Spontaneous use of ground rules was negatively correlated with age, indicating that older children spontaneously utilised ground rules significantly less than younger children. Theoretical research implications are discussed. We conclude that the current method of training children to use ground rules are not effective, and we have demonstrated that visual cue cards do not provide sufficient support for children in this context. Future research should explore a more comprehensive training method which includes an extended verbal instruction of the ground rules and incorporates more varied and nuanced opportunities for children to practice using ground rules.
Infant Swimming Increase the Risk of Atopy and Respiratory Tract Infections: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Authors: Hamdani Syed Muhammad Danish Haider , Zhou Yue , Shireen Shaista , Li QinLong
Published: May 2022

Purpose: The benefits of infant swimming must be considered against the risk of adverse occurrences during infant swimming practice. Several research studies have recommended against newborn swimming since there is little data to support its use in preventing drowning in infants. 

Methodology / Evidence Acquisitionː In the context of the PRISMA guidelines, the researcher did a systematic review and meta-analysis research on infant swimming. From 1950 to 2021, an online database search was conducted using keywords and MeSH terms such as "infant swimming", "safety", "infant swimming lessons", and "infant diving" on healthcare search engines such as PubMed, Google Scholar, BioMed Central, Cochrane Library, ERIC, PILOTS, PsycARTICLES, MEDLINE, AMED, CINAHL, EMBASE, Web of Science, Science Direct, Taylor & Francis, and Med SC. The researcher excluded articles that were first published in a foreign language and did not have an English translation.

Findings / Evidence Synthesisː The risk of respiratory tract infection is greater in the control group, 95% confidence interval is 1.95 [1.24, 1.97] (p = 0.000). The difference in risk of atopy is between infant swimmers and the control group is significant, and the risk is greater in the control group compared to swimming infants; 95% confidence interval is 1.36 [1.01, 1.84] (p = 0.000).

Conclusions/ Originality Value: Swimming does not raise the risk of infection in infants, nor does it predispose them to asthma. We propose further more research into the benefits of infant swimming in reducing the burden of childhood drowning, which is the leading cause of death in this age group.

Pada umumnya para pelaku usaha Fintech Ilegal berlindung di balik Standar contrak atau perjnjian baku yang jelas merugikan konsumen. Sistem perjanjian baku di buat secara sepihak dinilai mengutungkan perusahaan dengan cara mempermudah dan bunga relative mahal sehingga adakalanya masyarakatnya sendiri tidak mengetahui dengan jelas yang di perjanjikan kerena tergiur dengan pinjaman. Selain itu peranan OJK dalam mengawasi keseluruhan dari perusahaan yang menawari pinjaman secara online ke konsumen di nilai lemah hal ini dapat di lihat dari proses pengambilan kebijakan Reaktif oleh OJK sedangkan kebijakan yang lebih besar dapat di ambil oleh Negara yang mempunyai kebijakan Resource. Selain itu dalam hal kelalaian atau tidak melaksanakan fungsinya OJK tidak diberikan sanksi atau hukuman, dikarenakan adanya kekosongan regulasi peraturan perundang-undangan yang belum mengatur penerapan saksi. Negara dalam hal ini di harapkan dapat menyikapi persoalaan tersebut, dengan melakukan pembaharuan hukum guna mengefektifkan OJK agar tercapainya suatu pengintegrasian dalam proses pengawasan yang dilakukan oleh OJK dan tercapainya suatu keadilan

Dispersion of Rayleigh Surface Waves and Electrical Resistivities Utilized to Invert Near Surface Structural Heterogeneities
Authors: Çakır Özcan , Coşkun Nart
Published: May 2022

The single-station Rayleigh surface wave group velocities and electrical resistivities are two data sets that we cooperatively employ to image the near surface (< 40-m) anomaly structures. We numerically simulate the corresponding field measurements where the anomaly structures are assumed to have two-dimensional (2D) variations. The surface waves are represented by fundamental mode dispersion curves, and the electrical resistivities are assumed to be measured by using direct currents. We consider two types of anomaly structures, i.e., cavity and ore body. These two heterogeneities are easily distinguished from the surrounding geomaterial by their distinct physical properties. The cavity is characterized by low seismic velocity and high electrical resistivity, while the ore body is characterized by high seismic velocity and low electrical resistivity. The Rayleigh surface wave data is assumed to be collected throughout the classical common-shot gather. Multiple electrodes, multiple core cables, and multiple arrays are assumed to be used in the electrical survey. Both surface wave group velocities and electrical resistivities are shown to properly invert the anomalous structures in the subsurface. The surface wave group velocities have good horizontal resolution, while the corresponding vertical resolution is somewhat lower. The electrical resistivities have good resolution for shallow structures, but the resolution becomes somewhat reduced with increasing depth. Doi: 10.28991/HEF-2022-03-01-01 Full Text: PDF

Published: May 2022

Precipitation erosivity propels detrimental hydrological happenings with substantial eco-friendly and socio-economic influences. The conception of the precipitation-vegetation interface is very vital for implementing acclimatization and mitigation techniques for terrestrial bionetworks. Numerous investigations have reconnoitered the spatial correlation of precipitation-vegetation context along the season-precipitation quantity gradient. Here, comprehensive scrutiny of spatio-temporal patterns of climatology-vegetation response to seasonal variability incongruities in River Ikpoba, southern Nigeria, using principal component scrutiny (PCS), semivariogram, cross-validation statistics, spatial distribution mapping, and hydrological indicators for multi-source climatic datasets for pre-impact flow (1913–1966) and post-impact flow (1967–2022). PCS outcomes reveal seven PCs whose eigenvalues were greater than one were hauled out of the twenty-five variables. The River Ikpoba water quality variables displayed a moderately strong rate of spatial reliance, which made it possible to create the spatial distribution map for the carefully chosen water quality variables. Results from further scrutiny of the river Ikpoba flow duration curve show the highest flow rate value between 900–1000cms for the month of October. The post-impact flow's highest value was 65cms in 2008, whereas the pre-impact flow was 64cms. Likewise, 90 days’ minimum highest flow rate was 250cms, 30 days was 1180cms, 7 days was 105cms, and 1 day was 105cms. Whereas the maximum for 1 day was 7200cms, 3 days’ value was 6400cms and 7 days' was 4500cms. This indicates that as the day progressed, the flow rate was increasing for a consecutive 30 days at a low flow rate, but at 90 days it declined. As the day progresses, the values for the maximum value decrease. Doi: 10.28991/HEF-2022-03-01-02 Full Text: PDF

Authors: Kumar Pankaj , Singh Abhinav Kumar
Published: May 2022

Pan evaporation modeling is an essential part of water resources management and water budget governance. The study's objective was to examine the suitability of regression and tree-based techniques for estimating pan evaporation from climatic variables. Multiple linear regression (MLR), multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS), support vector machine (SVM) and random forest (RF) techniques are employed for weekly pan evaporation modeling for the Ranichauri station situated in the Mid-Himalayan region of Uttarakhand, India. The determination of the most appropriate inputs among climatic variables to map evaporation was done by regression approaches. The data was divided into two parts: the first three years of data used for calibration and the remainder of the one-year data used for model validation. Statistical indices such as root mean square error (RMSE), Nash Sutcliffe coefficient of efficiency (NSE), and coefficient of determination (R2) were used to assess the performance of weekly pan evaporation estimating models. Based on scatter plots, the results are under-predicted and over-predicted for the weekly pan evaporation values. The results showed that the values of the RMSE values ranged from 0.542 to 0.689, the NSE values ranged from 0.953 to 0.974, and the highest R2value was found for the SVR model for the testing period. Therefore, the SVR model was found to be superior and can be applied to predict weekly pan evaporation values for the Ranichauri site. Doi: 10.28991/HEF-2022-03-01-07 Full Text: PDF
Investigation Architecture and Environmental Planning in Prehistory for Designing an Ecologically Sustainable Tourist Resort

Published: May 2022

Lepenski Vir is an archaeological site of extraordinary international significance; an area where exceptional culture and specific art, which took place within organized social and religious life, emerged as unique in Central and South-Eastern Europe (6800-5400 BC, according to the date C14). The methods and complexity of the architecture of these buildings, their sustainability and energy efficiency, as well as the treatment of the associated monumental sculptures, clearly define the stages of settlement over a period of at least two thousand years. Today, it is even possible to say that people in those ancient times were even more instructed in the issues of nature and her whimsicality than we are today. Today, the site is in a natural reserve in an extremely picturesque landscape. During the archaeological excavations of the 1960s, seven prehistoric settlements were unearthed, one after the other. These settlements contain the remains of 67 apparently planned dwellings, fireplaces, tools, instruments, and jewellery. The settlements also contain altars and sculptures, carved out of round limestone pieces that are of artistic and aesthetic, as well as ritual and symbolic importance. The paper elaborates on the harmony of architectural style and natural surroundings that has been considered since the earliest times. Its aim is to analyse Lepenski Vir, one of the most significant archaeological sites in the world, i.e., the technique and the conditions under which it was created. However, as the reality of the subject is quite elusive in today's time, this paper seeks to show the value of the principles on which ancient architecture rests, primarily using natural materials and specific simple forms in design and construction. The reason for this is the inextricable link between man and nature at all times, the very essence of their interconnectedness, as well as the creation of a healthy, aesthetically valuable, and quality living space. Based on these analyses, one specific conceptual solution will be attached, i.e., the proposal of a contemporary interpretation of the ancient Lepenski Vir settlement and houses that can meet the needs of modern man and age, where millennia-old tradition is implemented in contemporary Serbian architecture. Doi: 10.28991/HEF-2022-03-01-08 Full Text: PDF

Published: May 2022

Agriculture is the primary source of income for the majority of the population in Bangladesh. Agriculture is also a big part of the economy of the country. Therefore, it's more necessary to grow our crops and fruits and boost their harvests. Fruits are adored by the people of this country, and farmers love growing fruits. Owing to numerous diseases, both the quality and quantity of fruits are not meeting expectations. Native fruits are contracting many types of new diseases, and the magnitude of the problem is increasing alarmingly. To deal with this issue, quick detection of the disease and correct treatment or recuperation is required. In many cases, locals fail to even detect rare diseases. Thanks to the huge advancement in technology, rare diseases can now be detected with the use of the right technologies. A good plant's growth is dependent on its leaves. Early leaf disease detection can help in keeping the leaves disease-free, as well as the plants and fruits. Our research focuses on identifying litchi leaf diseases by employing sophisticated image processing technologies to ensure the freshness of the leaves. A machine-vision-based technique, i.e., the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), has been used in this research work. Doi: 10.28991/HEF-2022-03-01-09 Full Text: PDF

Published: May 2022

The article deals with the emergence of new technologies for managing the reputation of the university in the digital information environment due to the transformation of the modern media space and the changing functions of the media. In modern conditions the universities are in a difficult situation: on the one hand, the competition and desire to attract applicants force them to intensify marketing efforts, confirming the positioning of higher education as a service, a special kind of service. On the other hand, such positioning weakens the role of higher education institution in the development of human capital and deprives it of its special intellectual mission. The integral profile of the university in the media environment and, first of all, in its digital segment, is formed through a set of different channels, through which the meanings and key attitudes about the character of the organization are transmitted. The peculiarity of the university’s communication activities lies in the hyper-fragmentation of its channels. Additional risks require controlling the media field and allocating highly professional human and financial resources, as well as increasing the competence of specialists in their own structures that influence the formation of the information environment of the university.

The purpose of this study was to explore the perception of the Mauritian banking sector (MBS) professionals on job quality with respect to their current jobs using the OECD Framework (2015). It attempts to fill an existing gap in the Job Quality literature by providing empirical evidence on job quality in the banking sector in a small island developing state like Mauritius. Not many, if any, of the studies conducted in the banking sector concentrate on job quality in a small island development state (SIDS) context. This exploratory study therefore made use of the qualitative interpretive research paradigm using semi-structured, face-to-face interviews. The population comprised of banking professionals at supervisory and managerial levels across different banking institutions in the island. Purposive sampling method was adopted using the snowball sampling technique which used the researcher’s judgment in locating the type of people who would provide rich information pertaining to job quality. 15 banking professionals agreed to take part in the study. Findings revealed that banking professionals in Mauritius better perceived recognition rather than earnings quality, and the social rather than physical work environment as major determinants of their job quality. They also opined that their job security was however based on their performance and willingness to learn and grow in the organisation. Appropriate recommendations were thus provided in the light of these findings.

International labor migration has played a key role in the development of both advanced and developing countries. Many developing countries in Asia have relied on labor migration, mainly to the oil-rich Gulf region, to reduce both unemployment and poverty (Naseem 2007). Mansoor and Quillin (2006) explain that poverty, unemployment and low wages in developing countries are the main drivers of migration from these countries. Higher wages and the potential for improved standards of living and professional development in resource-rich countries are pull factors for migration.

In 1985, Alec Jeffreys first discovered and described the absolute identification technique through genomic DNA, which leads to open a new arena of forensic science. Since then, it has been adopted for crime-solving as well as various forensic applications across the globe. After the discovery of DNA technology, it passes through several continuous developmental steps concerning sensitivity, reduction in turnaround time, cost effect, minimizing multiple handling of the sample, and suitable challenging samples. After three and half decades of this DNA technology, Short Tandem Repeat (STR) based DNA technology established gold standard and irreplaceable technique in the field of forensic science, which is entirely different from its inception. In the present study, with help of DNA technology, a murder mystery of missing women was solved. In this case, tooth and bone pieces of deceased and blood samples of probable mother and son of deceased were received for DNA test in the laboratory. STR based 20 autosomal STR markers and one sex-determining Amelogenin marker included in PowerPlex® 21 systems kit was used for identification of unknown deceased.

Languages used by teachers in English-language classrooms: An EFL perspective
Authors: Souvik Baura
Published: May 2022

Language and language policy researchers are particularly interested in the development of using English in the English language classroom in an EFL context in this era of globalization and internationalization. The main focus of the study was to find answers to the questions of what languages are used in the EFL classroom and what problems teachers have in using English at the secondary level in Bangladesh. According to the data from the study, teachers were challenged by their own language skills, students’ language ability, and pedagogical problems. The findings of this study will help teachers examine themselves more closely and come up with better ideas and reasons for their techniques and attitudes toward English language teaching. Additionally, the study may reveal the teachers’ perspectives on the issues their students face. In Bangladesh, social and economic disparities in two different regions within the same country produce an imbalance in English language teaching, which obstructs the implementation of effective use of English as a language of instruction in the classroom. Taking this into account, educators must focus on the procedures for an engaging and neutral English language classroom use.
