The Role of the Concept of the Right to Renew Islamic Legal thought
Authors: Hamah Saeed Tahseen
Published: June 2018

In spite of all the richness that exists around the concept of the right in Islamic legal thought, it is mentioned in detail in the branches and types. Muslim scholars have discovered some types of truth that were not present in the Western jurisprudence. However, this great legal heritage lacks an integrated theory or is almost free to say Of the definition of this great concept in modern times.The researcher assumed that the question is not related to the accuracy of consideration, endurance and patience in the research, which is based on the virtue achieved by the Muslim scholars themselves.But it concerns the question of paradigm, the concept of changing the perception of all issues in a holistic manner.In other words, instead of dealing with the attempt to find out partial solutions, turn the corner and change the view.In order to renew the Islamic legal thought, we do not need to continue to solve the particles, but rather to change the direction, to replace the Paradigm, which was based on the concept of duty to the right-based Paradigm.
Utilizing the Time Discrepancy between Receipts and Cash Payments as a Financing Source for Companies
Authors: Ahmad Ammar Sh.
Published: June 2018

The process of obtaining the necessary financing is the main concern of companies in order to ensure their survival and continuity in their work. There are many sources of financing that can be used by companies. The efficiency of the company's management is measured by the optimum utilization of the available sources. The cash flows resulting from the liquidation of temporary investments Inventory and accounts receivable and other current assets is a source of funding, especially if the management of the company followed a number of procedures that lead to raising the efficiency of cash management, including the preparation of the estimated future cash flows in the future And the acceleration of collection of receivables and the slow payment of liabilities, which causes time discrepancies between cash inflows to the company early and cash outflows from the company late, and helps the time variance of the company to exploit for its benefit as a free source of finance contributes to maximize the profitability of shareholders rather than resort to Other sources of financing that carry the company additional costs, which reduces the profitability, and in order to achieve this goal, the management of the company must balance between profitability and liquidity (cash), the best liquidity with the highest profitability and this is called the optimal exploitation of sources of funding.
Predicting Electric Power Energy, Using Recurrent Neural Network Forecasting Model
Authors: Ahmed Nawzad M. , Hamdeen Ayad O.
Published: June 2018

Electricity is counted as a one of the most important energy sources in the world. It has played a main role in developing several sectors. In this study two types of electricity variables have been used, the first was the demand on power energy, and the second was the consumption or energy load in Sulaimani city. The main goal of the study was to construct an analytic model of the recurrent neural network (RNN) for both variables. This model has a great ability in detecting the complex patterns for the data of a time series, which is most suitable for the data under consideration. This model is also more sensitive and reliable than the other artificial neutral network (ANN), so it can deal with more complex data that might be chaotic, seismic….etc. this model can also deal with nonlinear data which are mostly found in time series, and it deals with them differently compared to the other models. This research determined and defined the best model of RNN for electricity demand and consumption to be run in two levels. The first level is to predict the complexity of the suggested model (1-5-10-1) with the error function as (MSE: mean square error, AIC, and R2: coefficient of determination). The second level uses the suggested model to forecast the demand on electric power energy and the value of each unit. Another result of this study is to determine the suitable algorithm that can deal with such complex data. The algorithm (Levenberg-Marquardt) was found to be the most reliable and has the most optimal time to give accurate and reliable results in this study.
Post Positivism and Theoretical Debates in International Relations
Authors: Faraj Anwar M. , Othman Tara T.
Published: June 2018

This research deals with the problem of the failure of the positivist-rationalist theories of international relations (realism and liberalism) in predicting the end of the Cold War era and a deep understanding of the transformations that have taken place in the field of international relations. This has paved the way for the post- positivist trends, to show their influence in the fourth debate, and demonstrating their response to the challenges of the fifth debate in IR theories. Post-positivism rejected the using of the standards of proof associated with natural sciences in international relations in order to reach similar levels of interpretation, certainty and prediction. The post-positivists participated in the two last great debates of IR theories by emphasizing a number of points, the most important of which were: re-evaluation of the theories based on rational choice, review of the role and functions of theories: description, interpretation and prediction, Non-linearity as a description of contemporary international relations, and the inability of causation to explain the contemporary international relations.
The Role of Frontline Leaders in Building Health Professional Support for a New Patient Portal: Survey Study (Preprint)
Authors: Kujala Sari , Hörhammer Iiris , Heponiemi Tarja , Josefsson Kim
Published: June 2018

BACKGROUND

Effective leadership and change management are thought to contribute to the successful implementation of health information technology innovations. However, limited attention has been paid to the role of frontline leaders in building health professional support for new technical innovations.

OBJECTIVE

First, we examined whether frontline leaders’ positive expectations of a patient portal and perceptions of its implementation were associated with their support for the portal. Second, we explored whether leaders’ positive perceptions influenced the same unit’s health professional support for the portal.

METHODS

Data were collected through an online survey of 2067 health professionals and 401 frontline leaders working in 44 units from 14 health organizations in Finland. The participating organizations run a joint self-care and digital value services project developing a new patient portal for self-management. The survey was conducted before the piloting and implementation of the patient portal.

RESULTS

The frontline leaders’ perception of vision clarity had the strongest association with their own support for the portal (ß=.40, P<.001). Results also showed an association between leaders’ view of organizational readiness and their support (ß=.15, P=.04). The leaders’ positive perceptions of the quality of informing about the patient portal was associated with both leaders’ own (ß=.16, P=.02) and subordinate health professionals’ support for the portal (ß=.08, P<.001). Furthermore, professional participation in the planning of the portal was positively associated with their support (ß=.57, P<.001).

CONCLUSIONS

Findings suggest that assuring good informing, communicating a clear vision to frontline leaders, and acknowledging organizational readiness for change can increase health professional support for electronic health (eHealth) services in the pre-implementation phase. Results highlight the role of frontline leaders in engaging professionals in the planning and implementation of eHealth services and in building health professionals’ positive attitudes toward the implementation of eHealth services.
A dashboard online on Google Maps showing inpatient perception of hospitalization experience across the US 52 states (Preprint)
Authors: Chien Tsair-Wei , Shao Yang , Chou Willy
Published: June 2018

BACKGROUND

The quality of health care is always an important topic we concern in the medical settings. There are many ways to report healthcare quality to the public. However, those professional indicators are unfamiliar to patients when using a static table or image format which is hard to know where to get the best care.

OBJECTIVE

This study is to visualize survey results about inpatients’ perceptions of patients’ hospitalization experience of states in the US using Google Maps.

METHODS

We downloaded HCAHPS (Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Services) data from the 2007-2014 summaries of survey results. The data collection was carried out to (1) show the significant improvement point over the years using the method of Hotelling's T-square paired sample and present the trends for each domain about service improvement on Google maps, (2) display online dashboards to show hospitalization satisfaction for each US state on Google Maps, and (3) demonstrate an online assessment that uses smartphones for gathering perceptions of their hospitalization experience..

RESULTS

The year of the inflection point for service improvement is at 2013. The domain of Discharge Information makes a significant improvement in performance over the years. A visual dashboard shows on Google Maps for understanding inpatients’ perceptions of hospitalization experience of states in the US. A smartphone APP was designed to get feedback directly from patients.

CONCLUSIONS

We demonstrated a dynamic reporting of patient hospitalization experiences across 50 US states on Google Maps, which is superior to the traditional report card with a static table or image format. The visual feedback to patient responses can be promptly displayed on Google Maps. The HCAHPS can improve the report card of the patient hospitalization experience in the future.

The Most Influential Medical Journals According to Wikipedia: Quantitative Analysis (Preprint)
Authors: Jemielniak Dariusz , Masukume Gwinyai , Wilamowski Maciej
Published: June 2018

BACKGROUND

Wikipedia, the multilingual encyclopedia, was founded in 2001 and is the world’s largest and most visited online general reference website. It is widely used by health care professionals and students. The inclusion of journal articles in Wikipedia is of scholarly interest, but the time taken for a journal article to be included in Wikipedia, from the moment of its publication to its incorporation into Wikipedia, is unclear.

OBJECTIVE

We aimed to determine the ranking of the most cited journals by their representation in the English-language medical pages of Wikipedia. In addition, we evaluated the number of days between publication of journal articles and their citation in Wikipedia medical pages, treating this measure as a proxy for the information-diffusion rate.

METHODS

We retrieved the dates when articles were included in Wikipedia and the date of journal publication from Crossref by using an application programming interface.

RESULTS

From 11,325 Wikipedia medical articles, we identified citations to 137,889 journal articles from over 15,000 journals. There was a large spike in the number of journal articles published in or after 2002 that were cited by Wikipedia. The higher the importance of a Wikipedia article, the higher was the mean number of journal citations it contained (top article, 48.13 [SD 33.67]; lowest article, 6.44 [SD 9.33]). However, the importance of the Wikipedia article did not affect the speed of reference addition. The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews was the most cited journal by Wikipedia, followed by The New England Journal of Medicine and The Lancet. The multidisciplinary journals Nature, Science, and the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences were among the top 10 journals with the highest Wikipedia medical article citations. For the top biomedical journal papers cited in Wikipedia's medical pages in 2016-2017, it took about 90 days (3 months) for the citation to be used in Wikipedia.

CONCLUSIONS

We found evidence of “recentism,” which refers to preferential citation of recently published journal articles in Wikipedia. Traditional high-impact medical and multidisciplinary journals were extensively cited by Wikipedia, suggesting that Wikipedia medical articles have robust underpinnings. In keeping with the Wikipedia policy of citing reviews/secondary sources in preference to primary sources, the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews was the most referenced journal.
The Influence of Translation Techniques on the Accuracy and Acceptability of Translated Utterances that Flout the Maxim of Quality
Authors: Aresta Ria
Published: June 2018

Translating the implied meanings in utterances is one of the trickiest situations translators may confront. One example is in translating utterances that flout the maxim of quality. When a speaker flouts the maxim of quality, they are implying further information that is not represented in the utterance. Translators use various translation techniques in order to convey the meaning of the original text in the most appropriate and acceptable form in the target text. This study investigates how translation techniques may affect the quality of a translation. The approach implemented in this study is pragmatics in translation. This study belongs to the field of descriptive qualitative research with an embedded case study. For data, we look at all the utterances which may be said to be flouting the maxim of quality in the source text and its translation. Content analysis and focus group discussion were applied as the methods to collect and analyze the data. A focus group discussion was used to assess translation quality. The majority of the data was classified as accurate and acceptable, while the rest was considered less accurate and inaccurate due to the application of the translation technique amplification (addition), discursive creation and literal translation. Some data was also found to be less acceptable due to literal translation and pure borrowing.
Beyond The Historiography: Film Dokumenter Sejarah Sebagai Alternatif Historiografi di Indonesia
Authors: Ratmanto Aan
Published: June 2018

The Department of History, Faculty of Cultural Sciences, the University of Gadjah Mada in 2015 made a milestone in the development of historiography in Indonesia. They made a bold move to produce a scholar with a documentary film work instead of a thesis. In the future, it is not impossible that this step will soon be followed by other universities in Indonesia. This paper was written in response to these developments. In this digital era-and in the midst of still low interest in reading in Indonesia-emerged the discourse to seek new media for historiography in Indonesia. The film, especially documentary films are seen as new media that match the characteristics of history because of they both present real-life reality. Moreover, Indonesia with the diversity of tribes and culture and history, of course, save a variety of themes that will not run out to be appointed a documentary. Based on that, this paper will discuss the types, forms, and format of the documentary that is suitable and possible to be produced by history students as a substitute for thesis-considering the cost of film production tends to be higher than thesis research. Thus, the film of a documentary a college student, especially a history produces the quality of research and aestheticsKata

Published: June 2018

Total Disc Replacement (TDR) implant is part of the prosthesis to treat degenerative disease by retaining the maneuverability of the disk itself. The TDR implant allows to repair the movement of the spines, absorbs the friction of intervertebral discs, and restore the height of the vertebrae. In this study, we constructed a new model of TDR implant, which is feasible to be mass-produced in Indonesia and performed static test to examine the mechanical properties of the new model. Before starting the prototype production, the finite element simulation is necessary. Simulation using Abaqus 6.14 software show that our design is safe from mechanical failure. The simulation test was performed using the static general model, non linear by considering the plasticity of UHMWPE material. Manufactured using CNC 3 Axis and the prototype was tested with ASTM 2077 standards, using two calibration model on horizontal position and tilted position of 27° to measure the compressive strength and shear strength respectively.

Authors: Budiantoro Cahyo , Nugroho Adi
Published: June 2018

The quality of injection moulded parts can be influenced by processing parameters. The effect of mould temperature and melt temperature on the weight and shrinkage of Styrene Acrylonitrile moulded part was observed in this research. It was found that by increasing mold temperatures at constant melt temperature and injection speed, the weight of the part decreased and the shrinkage value slightly decreased. On the other hand, by increasing melt temperature at constant mold temperature and injection speed, the part weight increased. Both mold temperature and melt temperature gave only a small effect because the temperature difference was not too large.

Authors: Darsin Mahros , Pasang Timotius , Chen Zhan
Published: June 2018

This paper concerns on drillability of Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-6Mo (Ti-6246) from the point view of thrust force (Fz) & torque (Mz) using a TiAlN CVD coated carbide tool. The condition of the material was varied with three different heat treatments. Whereas, the machining parameters were varied in cutting speed, feed rate and cooling application method. Taguchi method L-18 was employed to design the experiments. Both type of forces, thrust force and torque, were measured using a Kistler dynamometer, and the data were analyzed using a Minitab 17 software. The thrust force was influenced by the cutting speed 24%, depth of drilling 21%, heat treatment 13%, and feed rate 11%. The torque was influenced predominantly by feed rate up to 94%. Coolant application has no effect on reducing both thrust force as well as torque.

Published: June 2018

The objective of the research was to investigate thermal characteristic of electrical cable for residential wiring installation in order to acquire the initial data for fire protection study especially connected to short circuit. The research methods were testing the characteristic of cable by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), fire resistant test, and current injection test according to International Standard IEC 60332-1-1. The results of the test were: differential scanning calorimetry gave the flame temperature of the cable was 3100C, fire resistant test shown the length of charred/melted cable was 65 mm and fire was extinguished in 10 s after the source of flame was cut, the current injection test showed that for current of 60 A, the cable started to melted and produce smoke after 270 s. The result showed that the cable comply with the specification, i.e. flame retardant cable or fire resistance cable as proved by test results and can be concluded that the cable gives adequate protection to the fire. Also, it can concluded that whenever short circuits occur, the cable able to withstand the high current and temperature for prolonged time and may only resulted in charred or melted only and doesn't make the cable came into flame/fire. Even if the fire is occurred in the cable as results of short circuit, the propagation is relatively not existed.

Round Table Discussion with Lynne Huffer, Steven Ogden, Paul Patton, and Jana Sawicki
Authors: Huffer Lynne , Ogden Steven , Patton Paul , Sawicki Jana
Published: June 2018

Joanna Crosby and Dianna Taylor: The theme of this special section of Foucault Studies, “Foucauldian Spaces,” emerged out of the 2016 meeting of the Foucault Circle, where the four of you were participants. Each of the three individual papers contained in the special section critically deploys and/or reconceptualizes an aspect of Foucault’s work that engages and offers particular insight into the construction, experience, and utilization of space. We’d like to ask the four of you to reflect on what makes a space Foucauldian, and whether or not (and why or why not) you’d consider the space created by the convergence of and intellectual exchanges among an international group of Foucault scholars at the University of New South Wales in the summer of 2016 to be Foucauldian.
From the End of Man to the Art of Life: Rereading Foucault’s Changing Aesthetics
Authors: Berger Kenneth
Published: June 2018

In Foucault’s writing throughout the 1960s, in which he foregrounds the critical function of language and signification, works of art and literature – and works of avant-garde art and literature in particular – appear prominently and are the objects of sustained theoretical investment. In the 1970s, however, as Foucault moves away from his earlier concern with language’s capacity to dissolve “man” and begins to concentrate instead on the ways in which man is governed, works of art and literature no longer possess the same political promise for him and drop out almost completely from his writing. Yet the question of aesthetics does not disappear for him entirely, and, in his final years, he returns to it, though with his analysis now directed at what he calls an “art” or “aesthetics of life.” In this paper, I examine these developments with the aim of drawing out the connections between Foucault’s changing view of aesthetics and the larger transformations that take shape within his overall project. Against this background, I argue that Foucault’s call for an art of life, in which the individual develops techniques for continually reinventing his or her existence, does not necessitate abandoning the avant-garde aesthetic practices that he had previously advocated. Rather, I assert, his conception of an art of life – when read in conjunction with his theorization of critique as a “permanent” questioning of the limits imposed on us – offers a new framework for reimagining both the function of those practices and their legacies in culture today.

Classification of Observations through Combination of the Dimension Reduction and the Cluster Analysis
Authors: Kim Hyeuk
Published: June 2018

Unsupervised learning in machine learning divides data into several groups. The observations in the same group have similar characteristics and the observations in the different groups have the different characteristics. In the paper, we classify data by partitioning around medoids which have some advantages over the k-means clustering. We apply it to baseball players in Korea Baseball League. We also apply the principal component analysis to data and draw the graph using two components for axis. We interpret the meaning of the clustering graphically through the procedure. The combination of the partitioning around medoids and the principal component analysis can be used to any other data and the approach makes us to figure out the characteristics easily.
An Enhanced LSDBIQ Algorithm for Full Reference Image Quality Assessment for Multi Distorted Images
Authors: Garg Meenu , Verma Amandeep
Published: June 2018

Image processing is an emerging technology as image is used in various fields like medical and education. Images may corrupt due to the various categories of noises. Image quality reduces because of the image acquisition or transmission. Noise reduction is the main focus to retain the quality of the image. For the removal of this noise, there are various techniques and filters.  Before applying further processing on the image, noise should be removed from the image. In this paper we deal with with a practical and effectual IQA model, called LSDBIQ (local standard deviation based image quality). This metric is examined on a well known database MDID (multi distorted image dataset). Exploratory results  manifest that this metric perform better than alternative techniques for the assessment of image quality and have very low computational complexity.

Evaluvation of Multiresolution Watermarking Algorithm
Authors: Kannan S. Thabasu , Senthil S. Azhagu
Published: June 2018

Now-a-days watermarking plays a pivotal role in most of the industries for providing security to their own as well as hired or leased data. This paper its main aim is to study the multiresolution watermarking algorithms and also choosing the effective and efficient one for improving the resistance in data compression. Computational savings from such a multiresolution watermarking framework is obvious. The multiresolutional property makes our watermarking scheme robust to image/video down sampling operation by a power of two in either space or time. There is no common framework for multiresolutional digital watermarking of both images and video. A multiresolution watermarking based on the wavelet transformation is selected in each frequency band of the Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) domain and therefore it can resist the destruction of image processing.   The rapid development of Internet introduces a new set of challenging problems regarding security. One of the most significant problems is to prevent unauthorized copying of digital production from distribution. Digital watermarking has provided a powerful way to claim intellectual protection. We proposed an idea for enhancing the robustness of extracted watermarks. Watermark can be treated as a transmitted signal, while the destruction from attackers is regarded as a noisy distortion in channel.  For the implementation, we have used minimum nine coordinate positions. The watermarking algorithms to be taken for this study are Corvi algorithm and Wang algorithm. In all graph, we have plotted X axis as peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) and y axis as Correlation with original watermark. The threshold value ά is set to 5. The result is smaller than the threshold value then it is feasible, otherwise it is not.
Flywheel Energy Storage System Using Magnetic Levitation
Authors: V Ramya , M Naresh Kumar , S Nanthine , M Ramya Sri
Published: June 2018

This paper deals with the voltage sag compensator in a system using flywheel energy storage system technology by using partial magnetic levitation. Voltage fluctuates in a generator from second to second and due to these fluctuations, it becomes difficult to meet the consumer demand since they account to high current losses. In such a case, Flywheels are used where energy is stored mechanically and transferred to and from the flywheel by an integrated motor/generator. Today flywheels are used as supplementary UPS storage at several industries world over. Future applications span a wide range including electric vehicles, intermediate storage for renewable energy generation and direct grid applications from power quality issues to offering an alternative to strengthening transmission. One of the key advantages of flywheel is that it compensates for the losses of the system by its storage mechanism and thus high overall efficiency is attained. When voltage is increased, current losses are reduced and transformer steps become redundant. Recent progress in semi-conductor technology enables faster switching and lower costs. Flywheel with magnetic bearings using magnetic levitation has been introduced for effectiveness of the system and to overcome frictional losses. The predominant parts of prior studies have been directed towards optimizing mechanical issues whereas the electro technical part now seems to show great potential for improvement. An overview of flywheel technology and previous projects are presented and moreover a 200kW flywheel using high voltage technology is simulated.

Published: June 2018

One of the major drawback of our society is the barrier that is created between disabled or handicapped persons and the normal person. Communication is the only medium by which we can share our thoughts or convey the message but for a person with disability (deaf and dumb) faces difficulty in communication with normal person. For many deaf and dumb people , sign language is the basic means of communication. Sign language recognition (SLR) aims to interpret sign languages automatically by a computer in order to help the deaf communicate with hearing society conveniently.  Our aim is to design a system  to help the person who trained the hearing impaired to communicate with the rest of the world using sign language or hand gesture recognition techniques. In this system, feature detection and feature extraction of hand gesture is done with the help of SURF algorithm using image processing. All this work is done using MATLAB software. With the help of this algorithm, a person can easily trained a deaf and dumb.

Performance Analysis of TBC-ACO Routing Protocol with Existing Routing Protocols of Wireless Sensor Networks
Authors: Radhika A. , Haritha D.
Published: June 2018

Wireless Sensor Networks, have witnessed significant amount of improvement in research across various areas like Routing, Security, Localization, Deployment and above all Energy Efficiency. Congestion is a problem of  importance in resource constrained Wireless Sensor Networks, especially for large networks, where the traffic loads exceed the available capacity of the resources . Sensor nodes are prone to failure and the misbehaviour of these faulty nodes creates further congestion. The resulting effect is a degradation in network performance, additional computation and increased energy consumption, which in turn decreases network lifetime. Hence, the data packet routing algorithm should consider congestion as one of the parameters, in addition to the role of the faulty nodes and not merely energy efficient protocols .Nowadays, the main central point of attraction is the concept of Swarm Intelligence based techniques integration in WSN.  Swarm Intelligence based Computational Swarm Intelligence Techniques have improvised WSN in terms of efficiency, Performance, robustness and scalability. The main objective of this research paper is to propose congestion aware , energy efficient, routing approach that utilizes Ant Colony Optimization, in which faulty nodes are isolated by means of the concept of trust further we compare the performance of various existing routing protocols like AODV, DSDV and DSR routing protocols, ACO Based Routing Protocol  with Trust Based Congestion aware ACO Based Routing in terms of End to End Delay, Packet Delivery Rate, Routing Overhead, Throughput and Energy Efficiency. Simulation based results and data analysis shows that overall TBC-ACO is 150% more efficient in terms of overall performance as compared to other existing routing protocols for Wireless Sensor Networks.
