ABSTRACT Poverty is one of the problems prioritized for completion by the central government or the regions. This condition seems to have no limits because every year the problem of poverty is an issue that has always been a discussion of the government. As in Bali, even though the tourism industry is growing very rapidly, until now the problem of poverty is still a fundamental problem that needs to be resolved. Based on data from the Central Statistics Agency in 2016 the poverty rate of the province of Bali is 4.25% and one of the districts that has a higher poverty rate than the province is Tabanan Regency [1]. Various poverty alleviation programs have been implemented to break the cycle of poverty. However, poverty alleviation programs that have been implemented by the Tabanan regional government are still not optimal. In overcoming these problems, this study has the aim of creating an application system that can identify the conditions of households in Tabanan regency. The system built will identify a family based on 5 welfare categories so that it will provide an easy assessment for the poverty program survey officers. The system development model uses the K-Nearest Nighbor algorithm in modeling and classifying households. The results showed the system had an assessment accuracy rate of 83% Keywords: Poverty, Poor Households, K-Nearest Neighbor ABSTRAK Kemiskinan menjadi salah satu permsalahan yang diprioritaskan untuk di selesaikan oleh pemerintah pusat maupu daerah. Kondisi ini seakan tidak ada batasnya karena setiap tahun permasalahan kemiskinan merupakan isu yang selalu menjadi pembahasan pemerintah. Seperti halnya di provinsi bali, meskipun industri pariwisata berkembang sangat pesat namu sampai saat ini permasalahan kemiskinan masih menjadi permasalahan mendasar yang perlu diselesaikan. Berdasarkan data Badan Pusat Statistik tahun 2016 tingkat kemiskinan provinsi bali sebesar 4,25% dan salah satu kabupaten yang memiliki tingkat kemiskinan lebih tinggi dari provinsi adalah Kabupaten Tabanan [1]. Berbagai program pengentasan kemiskinan sudah dilaksanakan untuk memutus siklus kemiskinan yang terjadi. Namun program-program pengentasan kemiskinan yang sudah dilaksanakan pemerintah daerah Tabanan masih belum optimal. Dalam mengatasi permasalahan tersebut, pada penelitian ini memiliki tujuan untuk membuat sistem aplikasi yang dapat mengidentifikasi kondisi rumah tangga yang ada di kabupaten Tabanan. Sistem yang dibangun akan mengidentifikasi sebuah keluarga berdasarkan 5 katagori kesejahteraan sehingga akan memberikan kemudahan penilaian untuk petugas pendata program kemiskinan. Model pengembangan sistem menggunakan algoritma K-Nearest Nighbor dalam memodelkan dan mengklasifikasi rumah tangga.

Model Penyelenggaraan Pendidikan Inklusif bagi Penyandang Disabilitas Intelektual: Studi Kasus di DKI Jakarta
Authors: Kristiyanti Emilia
Published: August 2019

This study aims to develop a model for the implementation of inclusive education for people with intellectual disabilities in DKI Jakarta. As a region that has local regulations on the protection of persons with disabilities, DKI Jakarta government has not yet been able to ensure the fulfillment of the education rights of children with intellectual disabilities. This study used a single instrumental case study approach and was carried out in DKI Jakarta. Data collection is done through in-depth interviews and textual analysis. The results show that social exclusion occurs because of cultural barriers due to stigma, labeling, prejudice, stereotypes, and structural barriers due to discriminatory policies. Both of barriers can be reduced by organizing inclusive education for persons with intellectual disabilities. The model for implementing inclusive education developed not only focuses on developing the life skills of individuals with intellectual disabilities, but also strengthening and developing the surrounding environment and society. Thus, children with intellectual disabilities can be independent and participate in society.
Fast-cadence TESS Photometry and Doppler Tomography of the Asynchronous Polar CD Ind: A Revised Accretion Geometry from Newly Proposed Spin and Orbital Periods

Published: August 2019

The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite observed the asynchronous polar (AP) CD Ind at a 2 min cadence almost continuously for 28 days in 2018, covering parts of five consecutive cycles of the system’s 7.3 day beat period. These observations provide the first uninterrupted photometry of a full spin–orbit beat cycle of an AP. Twice per beat cycle, the accretion flow switched between magnetic poles on the white dwarf (WD), causing the spin pulse of the WD to alternate between two waveforms after each pole switch. An analysis of the waveforms suggests that one accretion region is continuously visible when it is active, while the other region experiences lengthy self-eclipses by the WD. We argue that the previously accepted periods for both the binary orbit and the WD spin have been misidentified, and while the cause of this misidentification is a subtle and easily overlooked effect, it has profound consequences for the interpretation of the system’s accretion geometry and doubles the estimated time to resynchronization. Moreover, our timings of the photometric maxima do not agree with the quadratic ephemeris from Myers et al. and it is possible that the optical spin pulse might be an unreliable indicator of the WD’s rotation. Finally, we use Doppler tomography of archival time-resolved spectra from 2006 to study the accretion flow. While the accretion flow showed a wider azimuthal extent than is typical for synchronous polars, it was significantly less extended than in the three other APs for which Doppler tomography has been reported.
HydroSyMBA: A 1D Hydrocode Coupled with an N-body Symplectic Integrator
Authors: Salmon J. , Canup R. M.
Published: August 2019

The numerical modeling of coexisting circumplanetary disks/rings and satellites is particularly challenging because each part of the system requires a very different approach. Disks are generally well represented by a fluid-like dense medium, whose evolution can be calculated by a hydrocode. On the other hand, the orbital evolution of satellites is generally performed using N-body integrators. We have developed a new numerical model that combines a one-dimensional hydrocode with the N-body integrator SyMBA. The disk evolves due to its viscosity, and resonant torques from satellites. The latter is applied to the satellites as an additional “kick” to their accelerations. The integrator also includes the ability to spawn new moonlets at the disk’s outer edge if the latter expands beyond a material-dependent Roche limit, as well as the effects of tidal dissipation in the planet and/or the satellite on the satellite orbits. The resulting integrator allows one to accurately model the evolution of an inner circumplanetary disk, and the formation of satellites by accumulation of disk material, all within a single self-consistent framework. Potential applications include the formation of Earth’s Moon, the evolution of the inner Saturn system, the Martian and uranian moons, and compact exoplanetary systems.
Neutrino-dominated Accretion Flows with Magnetic Prandtl Number-dependent MRI-driven Turbulence
Authors: Kawanaka Norita , Masada Youhei
Published: August 2019

We investigate the stability of a neutrino-dominated accretion flow (NDAF), which is expected to be formed in the gravitational collapse of a massive star or the merger of a neutron star binary, based on the variable-α prescription. Recent magnetohydrodynamic simulations shows that the viscosity parameter α is proportional to the power of the magnetic Prandtl number Pm = ν/η, where ν and η are the kinematic viscosity and electric resistivity of the fluid, respectively. In the inner region of a hyperaccretion flow, the viscosity and resistivity are carried by mildly, relativistically degenerated electrons. We fit the dependence of the magnetic Prandtl number on density and temperature by a simple analytic form, and derive the condition for an NDAF to be dynamically unstable. As demonstrations we perform simple one-dimensional simulations of NDAFs with variable-α and show that the mass accretion becomes highly time-variable in the unstable branch. This mechanism may account for the rapid variability observed in the prompt emission of gamma-ray bursts. The mass ejection from a hyperaccretion flow due to viscous heating, which makes a kilonova/macronova emission in the merger of a neutron star binary, is also briefly discussed.

We present TeV gamma-ray observations of the Crab Nebula, the standard reference source in ground-based gamma-ray astronomy, using data from the High Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) Gamma-Ray Observatory. In this analysis we use two independent energy estimation methods that utilize extensive air shower variables such as the core position, shower angle, and shower lateral energy distribution. In contrast, the previously published HAWC energy spectrum roughly estimated the shower energy with only the number of photomultipliers triggered. This new methodology yields a much-improved energy resolution over the previous analysis and extends HAWC’s ability to accurately measure gamma-ray energies well beyond 100 TeV. The energy spectrum of the Crab Nebula is well fit to a log-parabola shape

with emission up to at least 100 TeV. For the first estimator, a ground parameter that utilizes fits to the lateral distribution function to measure the charge density 40 m from the shower axis, the best-fit values are

(TeV cm2 s)−1,

, and

. For the second estimator, a neural network that uses the charge distribution in annuli around the core and other variables, these values are

(TeV cm2 s)−1,

, and β = 0.06 ± 0.01 ± 0.02. The first set of uncertainties is statistical; the second set is systematic. Both methods yield compatible results. These measurements are the highest-energy observation of a gamma-ray source to date.

The origin of the multiband activities (outbursts/flares) of blazars is still a heavily debated topic. Shock and magnetic reconnection have long been considered as possible triggers of the multiband activities. In this paper, we present an exploration of the origin of multiband activities for a high-redshift (z = 1.8385) flat-spectrum radio quasar PKS 1502+106. Utilizing multiband data from radio to γ-ray and optical polarization observations, we investigate two dramatic activities in detail: a γ-ray-dominated outburst in 2015 and an optical-dominated outburst in 2017. Our main results are as follows. (I) A fast γ-ray flare with a flux-doubling timescale as short as 1 hr in 2015 is discovered. Based on the variability timescale, the physical parameters of the flaring region (e.g., minimum Doppler factor, emission region size, etc.) are constrained. At the peak of the flare, the γ-ray spectrum hardens to Γ
γ
 = 1.82 ± 0.04 and exhibits an obvious curvature/break characteristic that is caused by the typical “cooling break.” Modeling of multiband spectral energy distributions reveal a very hard electronic energy spectrum with the electronic spectral index of 1.07 ± 0.53. This result suggests that this fast γ-ray flare may be triggered by magnetic reconnection. (II) During the outburst in 2017, the degree of optical polarization and optical fluxes showed a very tight correlation. By analyzing the Stokes parameters of polarization observations, our results show that this outburst could be triggered by a transverse shock with a compression ratio of η > 2.2, and the magnetic field intensity of the shock emission region is about 0.032 G.

We present new deep ALMA and Hubble Space Telescope (HST)/WFC3 observations of MASOSA and VR7, two luminous Lyα emitters (LAEs) at z = 6.5, for which the UV continuum levels differ by a factor of four. No IR dust continuum emission is detected in either, indicating little amounts of obscured star formation and/or high dust temperatures. MASOSA, with a UV luminosity M
1500 = −20.9, compact size, and very high Lyα

, is undetected in [C ii] to a limit of L
[C ii] < 2.2 × 107
L
⊙, implying a metallicity Z ≲ 0.07 Z
⊙. Intriguingly, our HST data indicate a red UV slope β = −1.1 ± 0.7, at odds with the low dust content. VR7, which is a bright (M
1500 = −22.4) galaxy with moderate color (β = −1.4 ± 0.3) and Lyα EW0 = 34 Å, is clearly detected in [C ii] emission (S/N = 15). VR7's rest-frame UV morphology can be described by two components separated by ≈1.5 kpc and is globally more compact than the [C ii] emission. The global [C ii]/UV ratio indicates Z ≈ 0.2 Z
⊙, but there are large variations in the UV/[C ii] ratio on kiloparsec scales. We also identify diffuse, possibly outflowing, [C ii]-emitting gas at ≈100 km s−1 with respect to the peak. VR7 appears to be assembling its components at a slightly more evolved stage than other luminous LAEs, with outflows already shaping its direct environment at z ∼ 7. Our results further indicate that the global [C ii]−UV relation steepens at SFR < 30 M
⊙ yr−1, naturally explaining why the [C ii]/UV ratio is anticorrelated with Lyα EW in many, but not all, observed LAEs.

Introduction: People who inject drugs (PWID) are one of the key populations most vulnerable to HIV infection, with 28 times higher prevalence compared to the rest of the population. PWID are known to have many physical, psychological and lifestyle challenges that can influence access to care. Depression is common among PWID living with HIV. It has major effect on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and is influencing adherence to antiretroviral therapy. This study was conducted to explore how anxiety and depression affect HRQoL among HIV-positive PWID in Ukraine. It will provide knowledge for the further policy development.

Methodology: A descriptive cross-sectional study using data from interviewer- administrated questionnaires was performed. The questionnaire was based on the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. The questionnaire on HRQoL was based on the SF-36.

Results: Among the 90 HIV positive PWID 74% (67) and 61% (55) had anxiety and depression scores higher than 7 respectively, indicating that most patients had mental health problems. Average scores for general health (40), role limitations due to physical (44) and emotional health (34), vitality (41) and mental health (45) had mean scores less than 50 along with total physical (43) and mental health scores (35). Having an HIV positive partner or partner with unknown HIV status increases anxiety in HIV positive PWID.

Conclusion: There are increased depressive and anxiety symptoms and poorer QoL among HIV-positive PWID in Ukraine. Strategies focusing on psychosocial support addressing QoL as part of HIV care could improve health outcomes for these comorbid and debilitating conditions.

Large B - Cell Lymphoma of the Leg – Unfavourable Course with Rituximab/Bendamustin
Authors: Wollina Uwe , Schmidt Nadine , Schönlebe Jacqueline , Vojvodic Aleksandra , Hansel Gesina , Koch André , Lotti Torello
Published: August 2019

BACKGROUND: Cutaneous B-cell lymphomas represent about 25% of all cutaneous lymphomas. Peripheral diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of the leg type is the most aggressive subtype seen mainly in elderly patients. Treatment is not standardised.
CASE REPORT: An 87-year-old female patient was presented in May 2018 because of the development of painless subcutaneous nodules on the legs since late 2017. On examination, we observed up to 5 cm large erythematous nodules on the legs and a smaller plaque in the left submammary fold. The histology of a skin demonstrated tumour infiltrate that was separated from the overlying epidermis by a grenz zone. It consisted of densely packed, blastoid lymphocytic cells with numerous, and some atypical mitoses. The cells were positive for CD20, CD79A and CD5. Almost 100% of the cells were labelled with Ki67. The diagnosis of a diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (PCLBCL-LT) of the leg was confirmed. Histologic analysis of a bone marrow biopsy demonstrated a hypercellular bone marrow without malignant lymphatic infiltrates. Diagnostic ultrasound of cervical nodes and computerised tomography (CT) scans (native and with contrast medium) of head, neck and trunk excluded an extracutaneous manifestation of the PCLBCL-LT. Treatment with rituximab plus bendamustibe was initiated, but tumour progress was noted after the second course. Suggested palliative therapy with radiation and rituximab was refused. The patient died 7 months after diagnosis.
CONCLUSIONS: Although some trials suggested a beneficial effect of immuno-chemotherapy, the prognosis of (PCLBCL-LT) remains poor. Standardised treatment is missing due to the relative rarity of this malignancy.
Éloges de l’autorité. Pourquoi les adolescents éprouvent-ils le besoin de la tester ?
Authors: Chapellon Sébastien , Vicente Cindy
Published: August 2019

L’adolescent réputé difficile manifeste une hostilité à l’égard de ses aînés. Il semble apparemment désireux de les dominer. Or, une lecture métapsychologique montre qu’au fond le sujet s’efforce de s’appuyer sur le cadre qu’il essaie manifestement de briser. Il a inconsciemment besoin de s’assurer que les personnes ayant autorité sur lui peuvent l’aider à endiguer sa propre destructivité. Dans cet article, le cas d’une adolescente mettant à mal son cadre familial et thérapeutique témoigne de la fonction messagère de l’agressivité contre les adultes. La confrontation qui s’opère avec eux a une fonction structurante, nécessaire au déroulement du processus d’adolescence. Sans le savoir, le sujet interpelle l’autorité des adultes, dans ce qu’elle implique d’une différence générationnelle. Lorsqu’il s’attaque à ses aînés, l’adolescent leur demande inconsciemment de l’aider à se différencier d’eux. Il oblige son environnement à poser les limites externes qui font défaut à son fonctionnement interne. Symptomatiquement, les attaques du cadre questionnent aussi les spécificités actuelles de l’autorité et ses aléas.

Published: August 2019

En adoptant les objectifs de développement durable (ODD) en 2015, tous les pays se sont accordés sur la nécessité de former les jeunes à devenir des citoyens du monde écologiquement responsables. Cet article revient d’abord sur l’histoire longue des ODD et présente en quoi leur adoption a suscité l’activation d’un “dispositif de durabilité” qui fait de la production d’Homo sustainabilis une condition de survie de l’espèce humaine. Il aborde ensuite la place qui est attribuée à l’éducation dans la production de cet Homo sustainabilis censé éviter le gaspillage et participer à un projet de société dans lequel chacun trouvera sa place en servant des projets collectifs. Il se termine par la mise en perspective des ODD avec la décision d’intégrer à PISA, à partir de 2018, l’évaluation d’une “compétence globale”, qui vise à tester la sensibilité des élèves au développement durable.
Quel rapport au droit les codes de conduite d’écoles secondaires impliquent-ils pour les jeunes ?

Published: August 2019

Les expériences scolaires des élèves contribuent à former leur conception du monde social, des institutions publiques, des rapports à y entretenir et du rôle qu’ils peuvent y jouer. Au-delà du curriculum formel, ces expériences sont également balisées par des normes et conventions dont certaines sont explicitées dans des codes de conduite visant à réguler et à prévoir les comportements et rapports intersubjectifs des élèves avec les divers acteurs de l’école. Cet article vise à présenter l’analyse d’un échantillon de ces codes de conduite, en vigueur dans les écoles secondaires québécoises, au regard du développement du rapport au droit qu’ils impliquent pour les élèves. La typologie de la conscience du droit de Ewick et Silbey (1998), ainsi que la perspective de Günther (1998) sur le discours juridique, ont servi de grille d’analyse de ces codes de conduite et mené à un constat de la prépondérance, dans ces textes, d’un rapport de soumission au droit.
L’intérêt de la prise en compte des compétences non académiques dans la redéfinition du capital humain développé par les élèves. Une application sur des élèves de l’école primaire française
Authors: Morlaix Sophie , Fanchini Agathe
Published: August 2019

La prise en compte des compétences non académiques par l’école est récente. Il s’agit ici de les examiner comme des indicateurs des capitaux (culturel, social, émotionnel) de l’élève qui pourraient expliquer son capital humain, lui-même mesuré par des compétences académiques. L’article s’appuie sur les données collectées pour une thèse sur environ mille élèves scolarisés en cycle 3 (fin du premier degré en France) pour démontrer en quoi chaque compétence non académique est l’indicateur d’un type de capital développé par les élèves. Cette approche permet de présenter une mesure originale du concept de capital et contribue à éclairer la compréhension des inégalités de réussite des élèves à l’école primaire, en prenant en compte des facteurs ou variables explicatives nouvelles portant sur les compétences non académiques des élèves. La croissance de ces compétences non académiques devient un enjeu de plus dans la lutte contre les inégalités de réussite, tant, avec les capitaux développés par les élèves, elles ont d’incidence sur leur parcours scolaire, puis professionnel.

Authors: Musti K. S. Sastry
Published: August 2019

Modern universities thrive on the information gathered through well-managed information systems. The overall process of developing and maintaining Academic Information System (AIS) all within the university and without any external assistance is generally regarded as a mark of achievement. This chapter deals with various aspects of AIS such as requirements, development, testing, overall security, etc. Two major options, developing AIS from scratch and deploying a commercially available software solution, are discussed. Typical management strategies are suggested to combat possible resistance from users and to serve a wider-ranging user community in an effective manner. A strong case is made in favor of in-house development of AISs to reduce initial costs and maintenance expenditure. Importantly, the process of design, developing a functional prototype, and overall security aspects are presented in detail. Several recommendations are made to deal with various operational challenges through well-known practices.

Finally, this chapter aims to demonstrate from an experience in higher education the importance of quality as an integral part of the institutional culture of a Latin American university, as well as the collective and individual intentionality of the educational communities, in such a way that it is reflected in the processes and tasks that are carried out in the university institutions.
The Politics of the Sharing Economy
Authors: Murillo David
Published: August 2019

The current academic debate on the sharing economy (SE) seems to embrace three main discussions: its definition, its effects, and the role of regulation. A neglected topic here seems to be analyzing the specific implications of the changing nature of these firms boosted by private equity and venture capital. As the author points out, we need to analyze not only the impact of a changing business model but, specifically, how stakeholders, cities, and regulators should approach this moving target now called SE. In the following sections the author departs from a traditional definition of the sharing economy to start building the case for treating the SE at large as an epiphenomenon of the platform economy, and as a temporary condition based on a moveable business model. The chapter closes by introducing the regulatory hurdles that come associated with the previous and mapping out its different futures.
The Strategic Governance of Sharing Platforms
Authors: Akbar Yusaf H. , Tracogna Andrea
Published: August 2019

Sectors from hospitality, consumer finance, freelance services to taxis have been reshaped in the last few years due to the growth of online access-based sharing platforms. Notable examples of such platforms are Airbnb (accommodation services), Lyft (mobility), TaskRabbit (freelancing), and Kickstarter (peer lending). The chapter posits that access-based sharing platforms are subject to an evolution from “peer-to-peer” (P2P) to “integrated” forms, where the platform owner adopts a series of governance mechanisms aimed at providing effective safeguarding, adaptation, and measurement features to transactions. The level of transaction frequency, uncertainty, and specificity is a strategic decision taken by the owner to grow the platform. The management of transaction features generates transaction costs and determines the need, by the platform members and by the platform owner, to adopt specific mechanisms of platform integration. The chapter concludes with a call for scholars to intensify empirical evaluation of the important and growing phenomena identified in the chapter.
Using Simulation in Radiographic Science Education
Authors: Wertz Christopher Ira , Wagner Jessyca , Ward Trevor Mark , Mickelsen Wendy
Published: August 2019

Students in radiographic science education programs must master both the didactic education and psychomotor skills necessary to perform radiographic examinations on patients in a clinical setting. Simulation is the most common method of helping radiographic science students prepare to perform such examinations. Simulation can be performed either in live or virtual environments. Recently there has been a trend to adopt virtual simulation in medical education because of the reduced adverse effects virtual simulation provides as opposed to live simulation and real-world practice. Though there is a paucity of literature available discussing virtual simulation's use in radiographic science education, recent studies in this field and related medical imaging modalities have shown the benefits of using virtual simulation. The purpose of this chapter is to discuss the current use of virtual simulation in radiographic science education and characteristics to consider when implementing a simulation program.

Authors: Yüksel Serhat , Dinçer Hasan
Published: August 2019

The aim of the study is to measure the effectiveness of commercial banks in the agricultural financing in Turkey. For this purpose, 10 different criteria are identified based on five different SERVQUAL perspectives. Moreover, 10 different Turkish deposit banks traded on BIST are taken into consideration in the analysis process. Interval type-2 fuzzy DEMATEL (IT2 FDEMATEL) method is used to weight the dimensions and criteria. Also, deposit banks are ranked with interval type-2 fuzzy TOPSIS (IT2 FTOPSIS). The findings show that flexibility of needs, branch availability, and qualified personnel are the most important criteria for agricultural financing. Hence, it is recommended that banks design a system in which customers can access the banks in flexible times related to the agricultural financing. Another important recommendation is that banks open new branches near the agricultural regions so that farmers can reach the banking services easily. Furthermore, banks should also improve their personnel for agricultural issues with necessary trainings.

Authors: Tsabedze Vusi Wonderboy
Published: August 2019

This chapter is based on a study whose aim was to assess e-records readiness in Eswatini government ministries with a view to conceptualizing framework for the effective management of e-records as a facilitating tool for e-government. The study mainly used the quantitative research approach, exploiting a survey that utilized a questionnaire as a data collection instrument. The quantitative approach was however, complemented by qualitative approach which utilized observation and interview techniques. The results revealed that the level of e-records readiness in the ministries is at an infant stage and that opportunities for increasing the depth of e-records readiness exist that require resolution. There was evidence of an irresponsive, weak, and disjointed legislative and policy framework on e-records; and a lack of contemporary records management skills. Among other recommendations, the study recommends the improvement of legislative and policy frameworks; regular training for records management staff; and soliciting senior government official support in records management.
