Authors: Mutmainah Mutmainah , Rudhan Andi Muhammad
Published: August 2021

Selain mengukur karakteristik awal siswa, memetakan alur pengajaran yang tepat juga perlu dilakukan. Karakteristik peserta didik merupakan faktor yang harus diperhatikan dalam memilih media pembelajaran. Faktor-faktor tersebut antara lain jumlah siswa dan latar belakang sosial untuk menentukan pemberian contoh di media; dalam hal ini termasuk gaya belajar. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memberikan strategi pengembangan kapasitas guru khususnya dalam menyampaikan materi sesuai dengan preferensi indera siswa. Wawancara semi terstruktur diterapkan kepada informan untuk memperoleh informasi penting dan mengembangkan hal-hal yang perlu diketahui untuk memperkaya penelitian ini. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa 20%-30% siswa cenderung memiliki modalitas auditori, 40% visual, dan 30-40% kinestetik. Namun yang menjadi perhatian adalah kesadaran guru yang belum memahami pentingnya menyampaikan pembelajaran sesuai dengan modalitas gaya belajar anak sesuai dengan preferensi inderanya. Dalam penelitian ini, peneliti menggunakan ISO: 21001/2018 (sistem manajemen mutu) sebagai acuan dan langkah strategis untuk pengembangan kapasitas guru.
National Security And Gender from Anthropological Perspectives
Authors: Stolarikova Katarina
Published: August 2021

Every society has a
gender system, a male-female dichotomy. This paper reviews different approaches
of Social/Cultural Anthropology that study human societies, culture, behavioral
patterns, and other aspects affecting human culture including gender. There existed
beliefs that females relate to nature and males
to the culture, some researchers saw gender as a behavioral function of the
sex. In the culture of hunters and gatherers gender was related to reproduction
and food distribution, which stimulated the formation of the first artistic
performances and the creation of beauty cosmetics and decoration. The contemporary
political agenda of Gender equality concerns mostly equal voting rights and
equal employment opportunities. Therefore gender-related demonstration of power
and control play an important role in security.

Published: August 2021

Produced water isolated from the oil in oil-gas production is pumped into the injection wells after cleaning from salt deposits and mechanical impurities. In the mixture of high-mineralised produced water, salt deposits making the technological equipment and pipes useless while gathering and transportation, reduce the permeability of injection wells. Carried out experimental researches show that for each ton it is necessary to pump 100 g of KD-7 inhibitor to prevent salt deposition in the mixture of produced water. Technological processes should be performed in a closed system, and the territories contaminated with oil and produced water cleaned and equipped well.
Development of new calculation method for zenith troposphere delay of GPS signals
Authors:   Azerbaijan State University of Oil and Industry, Eminov R.A.
Published: August 2021

Beginning from 1980s, the steady increase of total amount of deposited water or general amount of water vapor in the atmosphere almost above all regions of the Earth is observed. The changing of this parameter over the oceans strongly correlates with the temperature of sea water surface both in time and space. Obviously, the increase of total amount of deposited water or sum amount of water vapor leads to the growth of corresponding components of troposphere delay of GPS signals called “wet delay”. To achieve the goal set, foremost, the correlation properties of “wet delay” of GPS signals associated with the regularities of changing of total amount of deposited water in the atmosphere have been studied. Carried out analysis of actual materials of correlation properties of “wet” troposphere delay justified the presence of the aspects negatively affecting the correlation ratio of total amount of deposited water. Special correlation indexes allowing to regulate the balance of separate components of correlation function of “wet delay” are offered and their extreme nature shown as well. A new calculation technique for zenith wet delay by set value of integrated parameters of water vapor in the atmosphere has been developed.

Authors:   Azerbaijan State University of Oil and Industry, Huseinova V.Sh.
Published: August 2021

The task on the definition of effort value for development of necessary hermetization of plunger-sealing pair in oil field pumps has been solved. Many years experience of operation of oil field equipment while underground repair of wells shows that ensuring reliability and service time of applied pump units is mostly specified with the quality and operation characteristics of detail components and friction of pumps’ hydraulic parts. It is shown that among the main reasons for detail failures, the wear of plunger and valves, the breakage of sealing collar are dominating.

Published: August 2021

To investigate the impact of dexamethazone (Dx) with or without spiramycin (Sp.) in controlling the mortalityrate of broiler farms infected with infectious bronchitis (IB), two experiments were conducted. In the firstpilot experiment, 750 broiler chicks (Ross) were divided into control (C) and two treated groups receivedDx and Sp (G1) or only Sp (G2), respectively. Second experiment was conducted on five selected broilerfarms (6000 chicks each), two farms were kept without treatment as a control, whereas other farms weretreated with a combination of Dx and Sp. All birds were vaccinated against Newcastle disease (ND), avianinfluenza (AI), infectious bronchitis (IB) and infectious bursa disease (IBD), and monitored throughoutthe experiment to detect any respiratory sings. The treatment protocol was started when respiratory singsappear. Blood samples were collected at day 5 of treatment from jugular vein and serum was to assessaspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) andto detect the antibody titer for the deferent vaccines by ELISA. The result showed significant decrease ofmortality rate in G1 group among experimental groups and insignificant differences of liver function testsand immune response to the vaccination against ND and AI. It can be concluded that using a combination ofdexamethasone and spiramycin has an efficient effect to protect broiler chicks against infectious bronchitisby decreasing the mortality rate with no immune suppression.

Published: August 2021

Review question / Objective: This systematic review aims to comprehensively assess the efficacy and safety of full-endoscopic cervical laminectomy and decompression versus anterior cervical decompression with fusion in treating cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) patients. Condition being studied: Cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) is a degenerative disease associated with cervical cord compression, which has increased significant health-related social costs and derived disabilities. Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) is the "gold standard" for the treatment of CSM. However, the application of ACDF may cause some complications. Recently, full-endoscopic cervical laminectomy and decompression have shown potential therapeutic effects for CSM. However, no systematic review or meta-analysis has focused on the effects of full-endoscopic cervical laminectomy and decompression in the treatment of CSM. This systematic review aims to comprehensively assess the efficacy and safety of full-endoscopic cervical laminectomy and decompression versus anterior cervical decompression with fusion in treating CSM patients.

Este texto apresenta apontamentos sobre a necessária restauração da Catedral de Notre Dame, em Paris, em decorrência do incêndio de grandes proporções que atingiu a edificação em abril de 2019. A tragédia que se abateu sobre este importante bem cultural acende um intenso debate sobre quais seriam os caminhos para sua recuperação, sendo voz corrente a possibilidade de uma reconstrução dov’era, com’era e outras posturas mais coerentes com orientações teórico-metodológicas mais recentes do campo da restauração, indicadas nas Cartas Patrimoniais e outros documentos internacionais. Quando Viollet-le-Duc, juntamente com Lassus, restaurou esta mesma Catedral, na segunda metade do século XIX, os debates não foram menos intensos. E agora cabe ao restaurador do século XXI intervir sobre a obra de Viollet-le-Duc. Quais princípios adotar? Este artigo tem por objetivo, a partir de apontamentos sobre Viollet-le-Duc e a restauração de Notre Dame de Paris, problematizar as questões conceituais e metodológicas em pauta neste século XXI nas intervenções sobre o patrimônio edificado.

A közszolgálati életpályák szabályozásának jogalkotói megközelítése
Authors: Ludányi Dávid
Published: August 2021

This study reviews the „extreme” pace of civil service legislation in recent years primarily through the legislative interpretation of the concept of civil service career, that is the regulation of promotion and salary systems. This study’s starting point is that the legal policy goals behind the civil service laws often interpret the concept of a civil service career in a simplistic way and the introduction of a new career is considered primarily as a tool of some wage policy measure. Firstly, it examines the concept of career from a scientific point of view and then moves on to its legislative approach. The study deals with the international personnel policy tendencies and finally it compares the promotion and salary systems of the Hungarian civil service. The main research questions can be summarized as follows. Which system solution is “better” in line with international trends in civil service legislation? What solutions characterize one or another legal status? Finally, can differentiation contribute to the modernization of civil service careers? At all, can we talk about solutions in this case or are we currently witnessing some “post-bureaucratic” search in a way?

Published: August 2021

During our survey of the diversity of woody litter fungi in China and Thailand, three Hermatomyces species were collected from dead woody twigs of Dipterocarpus sp. (Dipterocarpaceae) and Ehretia acuminata (Boraginaceae). Both morphology and multigene analyses revealed two taxa as new species (Hermatomyces turbinatus and H. jinghaensis) and the remaining collections as new records of H. sphaericus. Hermatomyces turbinatus is characterized by 1) dimorphic conidia, having circular to oval lenticular conidia and 2) turbinate conidia consisting of two columns with two septa composed of 2–3 cells in each column. Hermatomyces jinghaensis is characterized by dimorphic conidia, having circular to oval lenticular conidia and clavate or subcylindrical to cylindrical conidia and consisting of one or two columns with 6–8 cells in each column. Phylogenetic analyses of combined LSU, ITS, tub2, tef1-α and rpb2 sequence data supports the placement of these new taxa within Hermatomycetaceae with high statistical support.

Authors: Nizamutdinov Timur , Abakumov Evgeny , Morgun Evgeniya
Published: August 2021

Recently, questions about the return of the concept of Arctic agriculture in order to promote sustainable development of the northern regions and ensure food security have been raised more often. The re-involvement of previously-used and abandoned soils into agricultural usage can provide an essential contribution for the development of the Arctic regions. We conducted a comprehensive research of soils with different levels of abandonment in the central part of the Yamal Region (Russia) and compared their morphological features, chemical and physical properties, fertile qualities and the level of contamination with heavy and trace metals to background soils of the region. It has been noted that there are no evident features of cryoturbation processes in the profiles of abandoned agricultucal soils and regular changes in the redox regime, as a consequence of the presence of reductimorphic spots in the soil profiles, have been recorded. Soil organic matter (SOM) stock in the topsoil of abandoned soils is estimated as medium and has a similar level to the stocks of total organic matter in the agricultural soils of the Arctic circumpolar region (Norway, Sweden, and Finland). Statistically significant differences in the content of nutrients between abandoned and background soils were recorded which indicates stability of the soil nutritional state during different abandoned states. Particularly notable are the differences between the content of available forms of phosphorus. The results of the study revealed significant differences between soils of various periods of abandonment and the background soils of the Yamal Region. Abandoned soils can be used for ground and greenhouse agriculture, these soils having a high level of fertility and are not limited for use in agriculture by the level of contamination with heavy and trace metals. According to the character of trace metal contamination, abandoned and background soils are evaluated as uncontaminated on the base of Zc and Igeo indices values. Reuse of the previously abandoned soils can undoubtedly become the basis for increasing agricultural production and ensuring food security in the Yamal Region.

Crowdfunding citoyen et territoires : le cas du financement de la transition énergétique
Authors: Deffains-Crapsky Catherine
Published: August 2021

Le financement de la transition énergétique est un enjeu majeur au niveau mondial, national et local. La France s’est dotée d’une loi, la TECV (Transition Énergétique pour le Croissance Verte). La prise de conscience des citoyens est également primordiale. Elle peut se faire au niveau local via différents dispositifs incitatifs. Cette recherche exploratoire montre comment les plateformes de crowdfunding contribuent à l’implication des citoyens au niveau local et permettent à un territoire local de s’approprier un enjeu sociétal mondial. Cependant, la variété des modèles proposés ne permet pas de conclure à un réel développement du crowdfunding citoyen.
Les risques liés à la gestion des projets municipaux innovants : le cas de la Municipalisation Accélérée du Congo
Authors: Okamba Emmanuel
Published: August 2021

L’évaluation des risques liés aux politiques d’aménagement du territoire dans lesquelles l’État s’associe aux acteurs locaux pour garantir l’efficacité de la décision administrative et financière, repose sur le contrôle du principe de pertinence de l’action publique selon lequel, il n’est pas pertinent de décider au niveau le plus élevé de ce qui peut l’être avec plus d’efficacité au niveau le plus bas. Elle implique que les projets innovants municipaux sont choisis et administrés au plus près possible du citoyen, en concertation avec les parties prenantes locales. Que se passe-t-il lorsque l’État se substitue aux acteurs locaux ? Cet article porte sur le cas de la municipalisation accélérée du Congo pour y démontrer toute la spécificité de la concertation entre parties-prenantes locales et politiques d’aménagement du territoire.
Analytic continuation of noisy data using Adams Bashforth residual neural network
Authors: Xie Xuping , Bao Feng , Maier Thomas , Webster Clayton
Published: August 2021

We propose a data-driven learning framework for the analytic continuation problem in numerical quantum many-body physics. Designing an accurate and efficient framework for the analytic continuation of imaginary time using computational data is a grand challenge that has hindered meaningful links with experimental data. The standard Maximum Entropy (MaxEnt)-based method is limited by the quality of the computational data and the availability of prior information. Also, the MaxEnt is not able to solve the inversion problem under high level of noise in the data. Here we introduce a novel learning model for the analytic continuation problem using a Adams-Bashforth residual neural network (AB-ResNet). The advantage of this deep learning network is that it is model independent and, therefore, does not require prior information concerning the quantity of interest given by the spectral function. More importantly, the ResNet-based model achieves higher accuracy than MaxEnt for data with higher level of noise. Finally, numerical examples show that the developed AB-ResNet is able to recover the spectral function with accuracy comparable to MaxEnt where the noise level is relatively small.
Stability of a suspension bridge with a localized structural damping

Published: August 2021

Strong vibrations can cause lots of damage to structures and break materials apart. The main reason for the Tacoma Narrows Bridge collapse was the sudden transition from longitudinal to torsional oscillations caused by a resonance phenomenon. There exist evidences that several other bridges collapsed for the same reason. To overcome unwanted vibrations and prevent structures from resonating during earthquakes, winds, ..., features and modifications such as dampers are used to stabilize these bridges. In this work, we use a minimum amount of dissipation to establish exponential decay- rate estimates to the following nonlocal evolution equation

   \begin{document}$ u_{tt}(x,y,t)+\Delta^2 u(x,y,t) - \phi(u) u_{xx}- \left(\alpha(x, y) u_{xt}(x,y,t)\right)_x = 0, $\end{document}

which models the deformation of the deck of either a footbridge or a suspension bridge.

It will be argued that the reasons that stimulate Plato’s critique to the dietary nomos, that emerge in the V-IV BC centuries following the development of the culinary technique, are especially political reasons. Our purpose is to find the relationship between a food habit and a government’s pattern. In order to attain the aim, the article is divided into the following parts: First, we argue about Plato’s interest in foods and the effects that food has on individual and on political health; Then we examine the Plato’s judgment about the new habits and their social influences; Finally, we analyse the relationship between diaita and politics in the Republic and Laws.

Keywords: Plato, diaita, politics, nomos.
Moving Vehicle Detection in Traffic Video Using Modified SXCS-LBP Texture Descriptor
Authors: H. D. Arun Kumar
Published: August 2021

In this chapter, the authors proposed background modeling and subtraction-based methods for moving vehicle detection in traffic video using a novel texture descriptor called Modified Spatially eXtended Center Symmetric Local Binary Pattern (Modified SXCS-LBP) descriptor. The XCS-LBP texture descriptor is sensitive to noise because in order to generate binary code, the value of center pixel value is used as the threshold directly, and it does not consider temporal motion information. In order to solve this problem, this chapter proposed a novel texture descriptor called Modified SXCS-LBP descriptor for moving vehicle detection based on background modeling and subtraction. The proposed descriptor is robust against noise, illumination variation, and able to detect slow moving vehicles because it considers both spatial and temporal moving information. The evaluation is carried out using precision and recall metric, which is obtained using experiments conducted on popular dataset such as BMC dataset. The experimental result shows that the method outperforms existing methods.

Authors: Singh Sudip
Published: August 2021

India, with a population of over 1.38 billion, is facing high number of daily COVID-19 confirmed cases. In this chapter, the authors have applied ARIMA model (auto-regressive integrated moving average) to predict daily confirmed COVID-19 cases in India. Detailed univariate time series analysis was conducted on daily confirmed data from 19.03.2020 to 28.07.2020, and the predictions from the model were satisfactory with root mean square error (RSME) of 7,103. Data for this study was obtained from various reliable sources, including the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW) and http://covid19india.org/. The model identified was ARIMA(1,1,1) based on time series decomposition, autocorrelation function (ACF), and partial autocorrelation function (PACF).

This has several applications in the healthcare domain from extracting information from medical documents such as case reports and prescriptions to analyzing data from sensors available in wearable devices. Recent advancements in information and communication technologies fueled the need of devising intelligent technologies for analyzing such data – not only in various forms but also in large quantities. This has posed many challenges and opportunities to use techniques such as text mining, natural language processing (NLP), and deep learning to unearth the latent themes from the vast array of textual data. This chapter proposes some prominent works in health informatics that use text mining and NLP and also discusses some active research areas in these dimensions. This chapter will be useful to understand the recent advancements and future research dimensions.
The Future Through QR Code
Authors: Bolzan Roberson Lopes , Ventura Paula , Fernandes Silvia
Published: August 2021

The choice of this work arises from the interest in the topics of innovation and technology transfer in the context of launching new services to target people. The authors sought to integrate a technology that could bring more interest to a product/service, namely with the modern growth of mobile activities and apps. Among some options considered, they chose the QR code technology. With the help of a strategic plan, they evaluate whether there is a market and propensity for its widespread use in Portugal. Then, an interactive prototype of the supporting platform is presented for its validation with users. Most participants know the QR code and consider the idea interesting and promising. They even suggested add-ons such as more video functions and a greater variety of events and resources for combining. Given the challenges of modern society, the authors recognize its eventual application to real-time requests for sharing specialized information or resources in critical activities of areas such as health and tourism. Features such as augmented reality, security, and privacy are future issues to address.
Intelligent Customer Experience in a Connected Commerce Environment
Authors: Gam Afnen , Ammari Nedra Bahri
Published: August 2021

The objective of this research is to examine the relationship between the smart customer experience and behavioral brand loyalty through relationship variables (satisfaction, trust, and brand attachment) in the retail sector. Behavioral brand loyalty was examined through positive word of mouth (proselytism), the client's intention to continue the relationship with the brand, and resistance to price increases in the context of connected commerce. A questionnaire was administered face-to-face to 302 French consumers who used smart technology during their shopping experiences. The results obtained suggest that brand attachment explains behavioral loyalty to the brand. Also, the satisfaction and trust that result from a smart customer experience have a positive effect on the customer's attachment to the brand. Finally, only the relationship that stipulates the existence of a significant link between satisfaction and proselytism has not been verified.
The Conceptualization of the E-Service Quality
Authors: Ben M'rad Ramzi
Published: August 2021

Several research studies have focused on the conceptualization, measurement, and management of service quality and their effects in electronic environments. Most of them are based on a classic paradigm, which consists in relating the quality of e-service to customer satisfaction and loyalty. The prescribing intent of the e-service as a plausible consequence of the quality of the e-service has not received enough interest from the researchers. Along these lines, this chapter examined the direct effect of the quality of the e-service on the prescribing intention of the e-service by the consumer as well as the indirect effect through a mediating variable, which is the perceived online value of the consumer.
Transformation of WOM (Word of Mouth) From Traditional to Digital and Current Recommendations for e-WOM
Authors: Şehirli Mustafa
Published: August 2021

The conceptual and technological transformation of word of mouth (WOM) is one of the most effective and old factors in customers' purchasing decisions. Although digital WOM is expressed as e-WOM, it is similar to traditional WOM, but it differs in the perception of trust, as well as in speed and scope. It affects the fate of companies both positively and negatively. For this reason, it is essential for marketers to inactively and proactively develop e-WOM strategies that are as personalized as possible to ensure that a positive mark is left on the customers. This study demonstrates the e-WOM strategies and tactics that are relevant today to provide guidance to marketers.
Motivations of Knowledge Management Practitioners
Authors: Holmquest Leland
Published: August 2021

Knowledge management as a set of activities has been around for as long as humans have been able to communicate. In the modern world, knowledge management has become a multiple billion-dollar industry. Organizations know that their existence and growth rely on effective knowledge management programs and systems. But knowledge management efforts continue to experience high failure rates. Contributing to those failures is a lack of understanding the most important element of the system: the human. It is humans that have and create the knowledge. It is humans that build on the knowledge. And it is humans that are asked to share their knowledge. But there has been limited studies on understanding the motivations and behaviors of users in the context of knowledge management systems. This chapter explores the use of psychological contracts and positive psychology theories to explain and predict users' behaviors in knowledge management systems.
Knowledge Management in Emergent Amateur Organizational Cultures
Authors: Jones Michael L. W.
Published: August 2021

This chapter examines issues of knowledge management and cultural knowledge in the context of Formula SAE student engineering teams. Approximately 500 student teams field a small formula-style racecar in a series of annual competitions held globally. Despite being small, student-run teams with limited resources and high organizational turnover, strong teams have developed strategies to sustain knowledge creation and work to build the team's cultural knowledge over multiple annual design cycles. This chapter highlights three knowledge management challenges: organizational renewal due to graduation of senior members, capturing vital yet departing tacit and explicit knowledge, and engaging multi-year and collaborative projects. The chapter recommends that strong faculty and institutional support can help FSAE teams develop into stable knowing organizations with deep tacit, explicit, and cultural knowledge bases.
Effective Knowledge Sharing
Authors: Abu-Rumman Ayman
Published: August 2021

This chapter explores the enablers and inhibitors to effective knowledge sharing practices within different contexts and fields of work. It covers the benefits of knowledge sharing and explores some of the most commonly used methods referencing the experiences within the banking and financial sector, the higher education sector, the automotive industry, and within the field of community development. Reference is also made to the experiences of knowledge sharing in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. The chapter concludes by asserting that a ‘one size fits all' approach to knowledge sharing and knowledge management is not feasible, but argues that there is equally strong evidence to support the view that knowledge sharing should be a key priority for all organizations in order for them to be sustainable and relevant in the longer term.

Published: August 2021

This chapter is a case study of the rebuild of Shopify's internal wiki (intranet) and describes the approach of updating the wiki and explores the elements that made the project a success. The problems with the existing tool are presented along with the strategies used to remedy these issues and rebuild the wiki. The project harnessed Shopify's culture of trust, accountability, and transparency to create a tool authentic to the needs of the company. At the heart of the project's approach is the people, process, and technology trifecta that the project team was built upon. This cross-functional team intersected change management, communications, knowledge management, and developers. Readers of this chapter will learn the approach and methodology of composing a project team based on this trifecta and how it led to the successful rebuild of Shopify's wiki. Although Shopify had the opportunity to build its tool internally, this chapter is not a showcase of the tool; the focus is on the approach and strategies of the project team, which can be applied to any intranet-like project.
