How Sweet and Ripe are the Fruits? Data Mining Techniques for Classifying and Predicting ‘Quick-Wins’ Direct Capital Investment in Indonesia as One Approach to Business intelligence Orientation and Knowledge Management Scenarios of Indonesian Enterprises
Authors: Fauzi Ali
Published: March 2019

The existence of big data of Indonesian FDI (foreign direct investment)/ CDI (capital direct investment) has not been exploited somehow to give further ideas and decision making basis. Example of data exploitation by data mining techniques are for clustering/labeling using K-Mean and classification/prediction using Naïve Bayesian of such DCI categories. One of DCI form is the ‘Quick-Wins’, a.k.a. ‘Low-Hanging-Fruits’ Direct Capital Investment (DCI), or named shortly as QWDI. Despite its mentioned unfavorable factors, i.e. exploitation of natural resources, low added-value creation, low skill-low wages employment, environmental impacts, etc., QWDI , to have great contribution for quick and high job creation, export market penetration and advancement of technology potential. By using some basic data mining techniques as complements to usual statistical/query analysis, or analysis by similar studies or researches, this study has been intended to enable government planners, starting-up companies or financial institutions for further CDI development. The idea of business intelligence orientation and knowledge generation scenarios is also one of precious basis. At its turn, Information and Communication Technology (ICT)’s enablement will have strategic role for Indonesian enterprises growth and as a fundamental for ‘knowledge based economy’ in Indonesia.

Authors: Kurniawan Guruh Firman
Published: March 2019

Enterprise resource planning and management (ERP) systems is now dominated by systems that are perceivedexpensive and inflexible. In order to take full advantage of the ERP systems, implementations require drasticstructural and cultural changes within the organization including business process reengineering. These changescertainly allowed to do but somewhat difficult to accomplish and organizations continue to struggle with changemanagement of ERP systems. Finding the right fit between ERP systems and the business processes is critical forsuccessful ERP implementation [12]. In this case, the organization can respond by two approaches: ERP systemcustomization or organizational adaptation [6][15]. However, there is also best of breed systems, which are bestapplied to one or a few functions, facilitating system maintenance. This research proposes a comprehensive ERPsystem customization selection framework in which the objective hierarchy is constructed and the appropriatecriterias are specified to provide detailed guidance for the customization. The analytic hierarchy process (AHP)method [27] is applied for dealing with the ambiguities involved in the assessment of customization alternativesand relative importance weightings of criterias.

Published: March 2019

Globalization era has provide us with such benefits with all the technology and business innovations, but with the high pace of competition, the ability to adapt and evolve is increasingly important and demand of creating product with the latest technology became more common, this creates a problem for system provider that offer large Enterprise software as their system, as it is inherently complex and hard to maintain. To deal with this complexity, one of the emerging concept as a solution for this is by converting the enterprise system into SaaS or “software as a service” model, as it enable financial system providers to segregate their banking package into several modules or services with high elasticity and scalability, thus makes it easier to manage. But before adopting the SaaS technology, organizations need to know what kind of changes that need to be expected, as implementing retail banking system with SaaS model can be regarded as a different business model than the traditional in-house retail system, depending of the degree of model adoption, the changes emerged may be significant and if the organization is not ready then it will do more damage than benefits. This paper is trying to provide organization a strategic view for consideration before they can adopt SaaS model for their retail banking applications and highlighting some strategic considerations of SaaS model over traditional in-house applications.

Authors: Grafita Elizabeth Steffina
Published: March 2019

Heating process is the first step in vacuum forming that transforms the plastic sheet from its glassy state to rubbery state, pliable enough to be formed to mold’s shape. Infrared ceramic heaters with zoning control are commonly used in thermoforming industry, in which temperature distribution and its consistency throughout processing time become very important in determining the thickness and properties of manufactured parts. Compared to other thermoplastics, Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) with its crystallization characteristics is known to have narrower process window. Slight uneven temperature distribution and overheating will degrade PET as well as cause visible defects in final product. In order to obtain proper parameter setting of infrared ceramic heater in PET vacuum forming, a numerical approach that considers PET spectral absorbance was deployed and two methods to control temperature were compared. The experiment resulted in a reliable temperature distribution by means of voltage potentiometer control for pre-heating and implanted thermocouple inside ceramic emitter for main heating in PET vacuum forming machine.

Authors: Chahyadi Hendry D.
Published: March 2019

The designs of automotive suspension system are aiming to avoid vibration generated by road condition interference to the driver. This final project is about a quarter car modeling with simulation modeling and analysis of Two-Mass modeling. Both existing and new modeling are being compared with additional spring in the sprung mass system. MATLAB program is developed to analyze using a state space model. The program developed here can be used for analyzing models of cars and vehicles with 2DOF. The quarter car modelling is basically a mass spring damping system with the car serving as the mass, the suspension coil as the spring, and the shock absorber as the damper. The existing modeling is well-known model for simulating vehicle suspension performance. The spring performs the role of supporting the static weight of the vehicle while the damper helps in dissipating the vibrational energy and limiting the input from the road that is transmitted to the vehicle. The performance of modified modelling by adding extra spring in the sprung mass system provides more comfort to the driver. Later on this project there will be comparison graphic which the output is resulting on the higher level of damping system efficiency that leads to the riding quality.

The Dramatic Form of Ambition in Early Nineteenth-Century France
Authors: Moscoso Javier
Published: March 2019

The spectacle of suffering, so much present in the asylum, does not refer here to the field of the visual but to a different form of representation by means of which an emotional experience could be turned into a story. By looking at the way in which madness was given the form of a social drama, I intend to suggest a new way to look at the history of the passions that focuses on the preconditions rather than on the results. The pathologization of passions in general, and of ambition in particular, required a new observational and visual regimen in which certain passionate states could be regarded as vehement or delirious. I would argue that the transformation of emotional symptoms into clinical signs required the mobilization of many elements, including the attentive observation of the inmates, their gestures and, of course, their expressions. In many cases, the configuration of the clinical record acquires the form of a short novella. In some others, in which those who are mad are quoted directly, we are tempted to believe that we may hear their inner voices. In both cases, there is little doubt that the cultural and medical configuration of madness requires not just actors and directors but also a plot, a stage, costumes, props, scenography and, of course, an audience. To explore these theatrical forms, I examine in detail one of the clinical cases reported by Leuret, chief physician for the mentally ill at the prison of Bicêtre. This gives me the opportunity to look at the elements of theatricality included in the clinical reports, but also at the performative nature of emotional states. I claim that the interplay between emotions and clinical conditions was at the core of the pathologization of passions that took place in the early nineteenth century.
The Unruly Emotions of the Execution Crowd and its Critics in Late Nineteenth- and Early Twentieth-Century France
Authors: Shaya Gregory
Published: March 2019

From the 1860s to the 1910s, a host of commentators sounded off on the degraded spectacle of the public execution in France. They had little to say about the violence of capital punishment as such. The problem that haunted them was the crowd that gathered around the guillotine. In these years the execution crowd was a mystery and an obsession, the object of literary surveillance, parliamentary inquiry, scientific study, and journalistic examination. These commentators saw a crowd without dignity, a crowd full of unhealthy emotions, a crowd of morbid curiosity and misplaced revelry. Who was this crowd? What emotions did its participants feel at the spectacle of punishment? And what can this story tell us about the public execution – or, more generally, the public – in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century France? The outcry over the execution crowd reveals more about the commentators than about the crowd. The guiding emotions of these commentators had little to do with empathy, civilization or distaste for violent punishment; they had everything to do with disgust for the crowd on the streets and fears of the public in a new age of mass culture.
The Forensic Eye and the Public Mind: The Bertillon System of Crime Scene Photography
Authors: Graybill Lela
Published: March 2019

In fin de siècle France, Alphonse Bertillon—best known for his widely adopted system of criminal identification—pursued “other applications” for judicial photography, suggesting that photography might be used to procure “an exact, complete, and impartial” view of “locales, things, and beings.” Photography, Bertillon was suggesting, could preserve a crime scene. In many ways, crime scene photography seems like the logical fulfillment of what Allan Sekula termed the “evidentiary promise” of photography. Understanding crime scene photography as a form of evidence places it in the realm of empirical science, with the photograph preserving proof of misdeeds and aiding the detective's forensic pursuit of truth. But, perhaps surprisingly, this was not the use that Bertillon foresaw for crime scene photography. Instead he suggested that crime scene photography was destined for the courtroom, and for the eyes of the jury. There it would not be a vehicle of objective proof, but rather an emotional catalyst for conviction. This paper examines the Bertillon system of crime scene photography as a rhetorical strategy calibrated for emotional impact, showing how it attempted to move viewers from the space of investigation and uncertainty to the space of conviction.

Published: March 2019

Objective: To determine the prevalence of latent tuberculosis infection among Healthcare Workers (HCWs) in Al- Thawra Modern General Hospital. Methods: We carried out cross sectional study to determine the prevalence of Latent Tuberculosis Infection (LTBI) among HCW. Two-steps Tuberculin Skin Test (TST) was performed among health care workers (HCWs) in Al -Thawra Modern General Hospital (TMGH) Sana'a- Yemen during the year 2016. We included all health care workers in the hospital. Out of 466 total HCWs 426 were fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Questionnaire was distributed to HCWs and information related to demographic data, profession, and duration of work, individual and in the family history of Tuberculosis (TB) was recorded. TST was done by a single investigator using the standard Mantoux test. The reaction was read 48 to 72 hours after injection, and the widest axis of indurations was measured by a standardized palpation method. Those with negative result were advised to come, after1- 2 weeks for second step TST. Results: The total number of health workers in the hospital were 466, Eligible cases who fulfilled the including criteria were 426. The remaining either excluded or not present at the time of study. Of them 232 (54.5%) were males and 194 (45.5 %), were females with a ratio of 1.2:1.269 (70%) were positive for TST. The positive result was highest among radiology assistant and laboratory worker represented 91%, 80% respectively, while 76% of doctors found positive for TST. There was an increase in TST reactivity with an older age, and there is a positive correlation between work duration and TST reaction. Conclusion: Latent tuberculosis infection is prominent among HCW who work in high-risk departments. This suggests that some TBI develops via in-hospital infection

Published: March 2019

En el desarrollo de las actividades académicas, y en particular en aquellas destinadas a la solución de problemas en los distintos niveles de enseñanza, es común presentar el enunciado de los problemas y los datos que sirven de base para su solución. Este enfoque es utilizado tradicionalmente no sólo por los docentes sino también en la mayoría de los libros de texto que se emplean en las diferentes asignaturas. Si bien es cierto que la lectura e interpretación del enunciado de un problema y la habilidad para vincular los datos con los conceptos y con las relaciones matemáticas para el proceso de su correcta solución, constituyen un elemento esencial de vinculación de la teoría con la práctica, no deja de ser a juicio de los autores del presente trabajo, un enfoque académico que no en todos los casos responde a la realidad, particularmente en el ejercicio de una carrera universitaria. Relacionado con lo anterior, es típico en el ejercicio de una profesión, en particular aquellas de carácter tecnológico, que el profesional deba esclarecer entre un gran número de elementos o datos, aquellos verdaderamente útiles para la solución de un problema, de modo que no siempre podrá contar con datos a priori y tendrá que realizar un análisis preciso para separar lo superfluo o irrelevante de lo verdaderamente importante. En correspondencia con lo anterior este trabajo tiene como finalidad presentar una alternativa didáctica para la solución de problemas vinculados con la profesión por parte de los estudiantes, en el contexto de las asignaturas de formación profesional en la Carrera de Ingeniería Automotriz. Dicho trabajo se enmarca en una investigación que se desarrolla actualmente en el marco de la referida carrera, titulada “Incidencia de los métodos para la solución de problemas de la profesión en las asignaturas de formación profesional, en el logro de aprendizajes significativos de los estudiantes de la carrera de Ingeniería Automotriz de la UIDE, Extensión Guayaquil, de abril de 2018 a marzo de 2019.

Authors: Rosal Cortés Ramón
Published: March 2019

Se presenta aquí el texto que se ofreció como ponencia en el I Congreso Internacional de Psicología y Psicoterapias Humanistas que tuvo lugar, en noviembre de 2015, en Barcelona.  El artículo se ocupa de responder a tres cuestiones principales: 1ª  Desde que se inició públicamente el Movimiento de la Psicología Humanista, en 1961, al crearse la American Association for Humanistic Psychology y el Journal of Humanistic Psychology, ¿cuáles podemos considerar sus principales logros hasta la actualidad?  ¿Qué influencias beneficiosas ha producido en el colectivo de los psicólogos, psicoterapeutas y otros profesionales de la salud?; 2ª  Dentro del pluralismo de modelos terapéuticos relacionados, en algún grado, con la Psicología Humanista, ¿qué principales errores –o, al menos- deficiencias- se pueden señalar en una parte de sus profesionales?  ¿Qué infidelidades respecto a las aspiraciones originales del Movimiento?  ¿Se ha logrado superar plenamente lo que Rollo May (1986, p. 33) calificó como «período de infancia y de adolescencia» de la Psicología Humanista? 3ª Finalmente, ¿qué nuevas posibilidades se ofrecen a los implicados en las psicoterapias existencial-humanistas, teniendo presentes algunos de los principales problemas actuales experimentados por individuos y sociedades?  ¿Serán capaces los psicólogos humanistas de influir beneficiosamente no sólo respecto a los primeros, sino también respecto a las segundas? El objetivo era seleccionar –sobrepasado el medio siglo de historia del Movimiento de la Psicología Humanista– un conjunto de materiales idóneos para futuros trabajos sobre historia de las psicoterapias humanistas.
Cómo Cultivar Valores Éticos a través de la Práctica del Yoga
Authors: Boucard Christine C.
Published: March 2019

Desde su nacimiento, el movimiento de la psicología humanista estuvo atento y receptivo a la integración de aportaciones orientales, las cuales han contribuido a enriquecer los procesos psicoterapéuticos y de crecimiento personal. Por otra parte, también mostró explícitamente su apertura a la reflexión y cultivo de los valores éticos y la espiritualidad (v. declaración del Congreso Europeo de Ginebra, 1981). En este trabajo, se muestra cómo una práctica de yoga puede convertirse en una herramienta para conectar con los valores éticos, los cuales nos incitan a relacionarnos con el mundo de una manera más profunda. Se expone aquí una secuencia de yoga creada por la autora (Boucard, 2015). La secuencia está especialmente diseñada para conectar a través de posturas, respiración y meditaciones con los valores éticos desde la Psicología, en la elaboración recogida por Ramón Rosal (2003; 2012) y Rosal y Gimeno-Bayón (2011). La posibilidad de combinar la práctica oriental del yoga con el cultivo de los valores éticos definidos bajo contexto occidental demuestra que ambos enfoques comparten el mismo objetivo: ser conciente de hacer parte del mundo y de la responsabilidad que se deriva de ello.
Bridging Difference through Classroom Misunderstandings
Authors: Blake Jason
Published: March 2019

Cultural misunderstandings often arise because of the unstated assumptions or “background books” that each of us has. In the classroom, such misunderstandings can make for uncomfortable moments, but they can also lead to fruitful teaching experiences for teacher and student alike. Using a variety of examples that arose while teaching a module called “Canadian Culture” at a Slovenian university, I argue that such moments – such as when students seem not to have heard what I think was a clear message or bit of information – the resulting cultural misunderstanding can be educationally rewarding. They force us to break out of the question-and-answer routine that is often a part of the teaching process.

This study assessed the healing rate in our department when both the Cook-Surgisis and the Gore fistula plugs were used and the long-term effectiveness of using anal plugs for managing anal fistulae.Methods: A chart review was performed for patients who had undergone plug insertion between January 2008 and December 2015 at Copenhagen University Hospital, Hvidovre. Data were collected through a prospectively collected database. Plugs were inserted according to guidance provided by 2 experienced surgeons. Long-term results were determined by clinical visits 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery and once yearly thereafter.Results: From 2008 to 2015, 36 fistula plugs were inserted. During the follow-up period with a median duration of 18 months (range, 7–60 months), the fistulae of 52.8% of the patients healed. The plug failure rate was 44.4%, and the fistula recurrence rate was 26.3%. The median time to recurrence was 12 months. The overall success rate for plug treatment in our department was 39% when adjusted for recurrence.Conclusion: The use of bioprosthetic plugs to treat patients with complex anal fistulae seems to be a safe, viable option for complex fistula repair when other surgical attempts have failed. However, it should not be the treatment of choice. Further prospective randomized studies with a sufficient sample-size and standardized measurements are necessary to evaluate the efficacy of fistula plugs fully.

ANTIQUE PRINCIPLE OF PAIDEIA AT CHALLENGES OF CONTEMPORARY SOCIETY AND CULTURE
Authors: Yatsenko Olena
Published: March 2019

The basic historical-philosophical conceptions of interpretation of paideia are analyzed. In addition, the understanding of paideia as an ancient method of cultural reflection and the metaphysical method of transcendence is substantiated. The pedagogical content of the ancient principle of the paideia is proved as the dialectical unity of the main contradictions of contemporary socio-cultural life: sacred and profane, social and individual, eternal and changeable. The unity of sacred and profane is revealed by the author through the concept of value, which is ontologically expressed in the space of freedom. The combination of social and individual are focuses on the category of responsibility as a result of the free choice. The conceptes of eternal and changable are actualized in the philosophical category of the possible as the preconditions of creativity, which is also the realization of freedom.

Published: March 2019

This study analyses a procedure to manufacture mortars with different percentages of ceramic waste as partial replacement for aggregates. The study also examines the physical, chemical and mechanical properties of the new mortars, analysing substitution ratios that range from 10% to 50%. Prior to this, all the materials used in the production of the mortar were characterised using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and fluorescence (XRF). The objective was to determine the similarity between different types of ceramic waste, as well as the differences in the minerology and chemical composition with the aggregate.

The results of the study show that it is possible to obtain mortars with lower densities compared to the same product with no recycled content. The product’s characteristics make it ideal for the manufacture of prefabricated components for structural floors for rehabilitation works. Finally, the pieces are used in a real rehabilitation case study, highlightining the structural advantages.
Mechanical properties of some building stones from volcanic deposits of mount Erciyes (Turkey)
Authors: Yüksek S.
Published: March 2019

Mount Erciyes is a huge stratovolcano of the Central Anatolian province in Turkey and it has produced calc-alkaline and pyroclastic rocks, which have been widely used as dimension stone in low-storied buildings and especially in historical monuments in the past. In the region there are some 205 quarries extracting volcanic rocks. In this study, the locations of these quarries and information on their annual stone production are evaluated. In order to assess the material properties of the Mount Erciyes volcanic products, petrographic analyses and a number of rock mechanical tests were carried out. Significant correlations were found between the properties of the rock samples. In particular, there is a significant relationship between thermal conductivity and some non-destructive measurement values such as P-wave velocity, Equotip and Schmidt hardness, and it is clear from the regression equations that these tests can be used as indicators for evaluating the Mount Erciyes products.

Published: March 2019

Any delay introduced in healthcare applications could critically affect the health of patients. Edge computing paradigm has been introduced recently as an alternative to develop such applications, where a rapid response is necessary to ensure the immediate assistance of patients when they need help. In this chapter, the authors propose an edge-of-things computing-based architecture, which illustrates the benefits of the realization of IoT under edge computing approach. The proposed architecture offers significant advantages: 1) it reduces the latency time in the data transmission for processing and analysis; 2) it improves the response time of the delivery of notifications or emergency alerts; 3) it provides real-time processing and big data analysis in the proximity of data sources; 4) it enables interoperability between heterogeneous devices; and 5) it provides security and QoS in the data transmission. The usefulness and relevance of the proposed architecture is evaluated through the implementation of a smart healthcare system applied to a medical case study.

Published: March 2019

Numerous organizations are using aspects of the cloud to store data, but as sensitive data is placed on the cloud, privacy and security become difficult to maintain. When users upload data to the cloud, they may become increasingly vulnerable to account hijacking, unauthorized access, and the data may become unavailable because of various technical reasons. Questions remain about the security of sensitive data in the cloud, and in this chapter, the authors perform an analysis of 36 peer reviewed publications describing 30 observations of cloud computing technology (2010-2017). In the articles, applications of cloud computing include, for instance, business (26%) and the internet of things (IoT; 2%), and the result suggests that some issues are unique to a particular domain (such as business, education, health) and some issues cross all domains. The results suggest that data integrity issues have the highest number of solutions whereas data breaches have the lowest number of solutions.
