Published: July 2023

The availability of hydrological data is one of the challenges associated with developing water infrastructure in different areas. This led to the TRMM (Tropical Precipitation Measurement Mission) design by NASA, which involves using satellite weather monitoring technology to monitor and analyze tropical precipitation in different parts of the world. Therefore, this validation study was conducted to compare TRMM precipitation data with observed precipitation to determine its application as an alternate source of hydrological data. The Kuranji watershed was selected as the study site due to the availability of suitable data. Moreover, the validation analyses applied include the Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE), Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency (NSE), Coefficient Correlation (R), and Relative Error (RE). These used two calculation forms: one for the uncorrected data and another for the corrected data. The results showed that the best-adjusted data validation from the Gunung Nago station in 2016 was recorded to be RMSE = 62,298, NSE = 0.044, R = 0.902, and RE = 11,328. The closeness of the R-value to one implies that the corrected TRMM data outperforms the uncorrected ones. Therefore, it was generally concluded that the TRMM data matches the observed precipitation data and can be used for hydrological study in the Kuranji watershed

Published: July 2023

Around 27 languages and more than 420 million people worldwide use Arabic letters. That makes the Arabic language one of the most used languages. However, the Arabic language has a challenge, namely the difference in letters based on their position. Arabic handwriting recognition is important for various applications, such as education and communication. One example is during a pandemic when most education has turned digital, making recognizing students' Arabic handwriting difficult. This paper aims to create a model that can recognize Arabic handwriting by comparing several CNN architectures using transfer learning to classify Arabic, Hijja, and AHCD handwriting datasets. Transfer learning is a model that has been trained by previous datasets to other datasets and is suitable for use in models with small datasets because it can improve model accuracy even with small datasets. The datasets were split into 60%, 20%, and 20% for training, validation, and testing. Each model uses data augmentation and 50% dropout on a fully connected layer to reduce overfitting. Some of the CNN architectures used in this study to create Arabic writing recognition models are ResNet, DenseNet, VGG16, VGG19, InceptionV3, and MobileNet. The models were compiled and trained with various parameters. The best model achieved to classify AHCD and Hijja dataset is VGG16 with Adam optimizer and 0.0001 learning rate. Based on this research, it is expected to know the performance of the best model for classifying Arabic handwriting.

Published: July 2023

Vaccination is one preventive measure to prevent oneself from getting any diseases. Vaccinations work by training our immune system to produce antibodies and weaken the targeted disease. Unfortunately, the number of unvaccinated children has increased because some parents reject or doubt the effectiveness of vaccines. This skepticism could result in a resurgence of vaccine-preventable diseases. Additionally, some contribute to vaccine refusal due to other reasons like vaccine misinformation, religious convictions, and insufficient knowledge. The game aims to develop knowledge and awareness to enhance vaccine behavior and acceptance among individuals. eGameFlow model were used as the methodology for game development. This model was chosen as it focuses on the educational game environment, which addresses learning components in the game.Â There are eight criteria to be considered to evaluate enjoyment using this model. To measure the usersâ€™ enjoyment, a set of questionnaires adopted from the eGameFlow model has been used for the evaluation. It is created explicitly to measure learnersâ€™ enjoyment of e-Learning games. This game gathers positive feedback from 30 respondents and shows promising results to achieve the objective. All eGameFlow criteria were positive towards enjoyment, with knowledge improvement being the highest contributor. The overall average of the evaluation was at an agreeable level, with a score of 81%, considered as achieving the goal. For future enhancement in increasing playerâ€™s enjoyment and game effectiveness, the game can be created in 3D environment to provide deep immersion and autonomy to the player.

Tracce d’arte contemporanea a Cortina d’Ampezzo
Dall’archivio digitale del Museo Mario Rimoldi
Authors: Mantoan Diego
Published: July 2023

In 1974, the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art named after Mario Rimoldi, hotelier and former mayor during the 1956 Olympics, opened its doors in Cortina, as part of a much older institution, the Regole d’Ampezzo. Thus was born one of the first private museums dedicated to 20th century Italian art, the virtuous outcome of Rimoldi's own collecting activity. The Museum enriched the Ampezzo community with a patrimony that was committed to enhancing the overall artistic heritage of the Dolomite basin, projecting Cortina’s role far beyond that of nature and hospitality. However, the Museum's archival materials, including correspondences and photographs tracing the vicissitudes of one of the most refined collectors of the mid-twentieth century with masters such as Giorgio de Chirico, Filippo de Pisis, Fortunato Depero, Alis Levi and Mario Sironi, had remained unexplored until now. This volume is the result of the project to analyse and adapt the digital identity and computer systems to manage, study and enhance the rich heritage of works and archival materials of the Regole d’Ampezzo on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the Rimoldi Museum. In view of this milestone, the Museum, together with the Venice Centre for Digital and Public Humanities of Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, has carried out a thorough reorganisation of its heritage by reorganising the archival fonds and transferring them to a relational database. This catalogue accompanies the new public database as a useful tool to retrace the stages and areas of the reorganisation work, while at the same time tackling stringent methodological aspects in the debate on the digitisation of the art sector. If, on the one hand, the volume provides a moment of reflection on best practices in the Digital and Public Humanities, especially in the field of relational database creation, on the other it offers a privileged opportunity to discover previously unpublished material from the Museum, capable of shedding light on its birth as well as on the Ampezzo artistic context in the 20th century. As a concrete outcome of the relational methodology adopted in the creation of the new museum database, the catalogue presents for the first time a vast iconographic apparatus composed of letters, works, documents and photographs through which to indicate research paths and valorise artistic firsts in the heritage of the Regole d’Ampezzo.

Infinityhub: la guida interstellare per una nuova dimensione dell’energia
Authors: Braghin Massimiliano
Published: July 2023

“How would the global socio-economic scenario be today if the economy took as an example the scientific models of learning, dialogue and co-certification of astrophysics?”. The space-time journey started from one question and it has led to the first ‘interstellar guide for a new dimension of energy’, aiming to create innovative solutions for the future, for holistic sustainability including the environment, the economy and the entire society. A journey that brings together many subjects, from art in its various forms to science, economics, sociology, and engineering, thus confirming an important paradigm: modernity requires solutions originating from multiple fields, from an inter- and multi-disciplinary or even more ‘anti-disciplinary’ approach. Along the ride is the constant presence of Albert Einstein and his wise advice, “we cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them”. Therefore, the book, written by twelve young Ca’ Foscari graduates (six women and six men), brings together twelve topics and focuses on relevant current issues: the environment, economy and sociality. How? By talking about Keynesian multiplier, startups, scaleups and unicorns, fintech and finance, equity crowfunding, social networking as an educational tool for sustainability, sustainability as added value, evolution from Energy Service Company to Energy Social Company, the new professional roles of the Energy and the Sustainability Manager, energy communities and smart grid, Energy Efficiency, enabling technologies and innovative business models, and renewable energy sources.
The mission of the book is to share a method, the Y method, that Infinityhub applies in implementing energy efficiency projects that educate on sustainability with an extraordinary result: all participants win and the benefit extends from the environment to the economy to society as a whole. Human intelligence, that precious ability to investigate things, allows us to design a new future, realising that ‘everything is linked’ and ‘we can only go upward by going toward each other’, that ‘energy results by multiplying the mass (us) for enlightenment’. This book paves the way and it is up to us to walk it together, starting with words in order to achieve works.
Le fonti energetiche rinnovabili
Authors: Moda Francesco
Published: July 2023

Tradizionalmente le fonti energetiche vengono suddivise in due macrocategorie, in base all’esauribilità e ai tempi di rinnovo della fonte: fonti energetiche non rinnovabili e fonti energetiche rinnovabili. Le fonti energetiche non rinnovabili sono tutte quelle fonti di energia che si basano su riserve di energia limitate e finite o, comunque, con un ciclo di rinnovo su scala temporale molto ampia. Tra queste rientrano, ad esempio, i combustibili fossili come il petrolio o il gas naturale. Le fonti energetiche rinnovabili invece sono le fonti che presentano delle riserve di energia illimitate o rinnovabili su scala temporale molto breve. Tra queste rientrano per esempio l’energia solare o eolica.

TINJAUAN MAQASID SYARI’AH TERHADAP PENCATATAN PEKAWINAN
Authors: Harahap Tenggo Subangun
Published: July 2023

The Indonesian Muslim community is still faced with the problem of two understandings of marriage registration. First, the registration of marriages is considered a legal requirement for marriage, so that unregistered marriages (sirri) are considered as marriages that have no legal force. The provisions for the obligation to register a marriage are contained in Law no. 1 of 1974 Article 2 paragraph (2); jo. Articles 4 and 5 KHI. Second, the understanding that judges that even without marriage registration, the marriage is considered valid according to religious law, if the fiqh requirements and harmony are met, this opinion also rests on Law No. 1 of 1974 Article 2 paragraph (1), which restores the validity of marriage based on each religious law. This article aims to reaffirm the position of registering marriage as a necessity when viewed from the perspective of maqasid shari'ah. This study uses a qualitative normative approach, with secondary data sourced from searching books, laws, and various related literature. The results of the study show that the status of marriage registration is purely the result of ijtihad, and in essence it is in line with the goals of syara' and does not violate the benefit, namely the maintenance of religion and lineage by creating an orderly administration. Likewise, the maintenance of human assets in the context of marriage, because with legal force, a marriage can anticipate the implications of a legal action.

Authors: DEMİREL Fatih
Published: July 2023

The education of girls in the Ottoman Empire was carried out in traditional primary schools until the Tanzimat period. There were no above-primary schools for girls. During the Tanzimat Period, the first girls' rüşdiye school (advanced primary) above primary schools was opened in Istanbul in 1859. With the Maârif-i Umûmiye Nizâmnâmesi (Regulation on General Education) dated 1869, the education of girls was redesigned, and it was decided to open primary and rüşdiye schools for girls outside of Istanbul. The newly designed primary schools would have a different structure from the traditional ones. In this study, the establishment and development of the schools opened for the education of girls in the province of Thessaloniki, the interest of the people of Thessaloniki in these institutions, and the problems encountered were evaluated. The study also reveals what kind of development took place in girls’ education outside the capital Istanbul during the Ottoman modernization process.

Published: July 2023

Dichodontium pellucidum (Hedw.) Schimp., Dicranaceae familyası üyesi; Avrupa, Asya, Kuzey Amerika ve Afrika gibi çeşitli bölgelerde yayılış gösteren bir karayosunudur. Bu çalışmada, D. pellucidum karayosununun dört farklı ekstraktının (etanol, metanol, aseton ve etil asetat) antimikrobiyal, antibiyofilm ve antioksidan potansiyelleri araştırılmıştır. Antimikrobiyal aktiviteyi değerlendirmek için disk difüzyon, minimum inhibitör konsantrasyon, ve minimum bakterisidal konsantrasyon testleri yapılmıştır. Karayosunu ekstraktlarının biyofilm oluşumu (antibiyofilm) üzerine etkileri, mikroplaka biyofilm metoduna göre değerlendirilmiştir. Ekstraktların antioksidan aktiviteleri serbest radikal temizleme yöntemi olarak 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) ve CUPRAC kullanılarak ölçülmüştür. Karayosunu ekstraktları bakteriler için 8.0-16.0 mm, maya kültürü için 8.0-13.0 mm arasında değişen inhibisyon zonlarıyla tüm test mikroorganizmalarına karşı antimikrobiyal aktivite göstermiştir. En yüksek antimikrobiyal ve antibiyofilm aktivite Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633 bakterisine karşı etil asetat ekstraktında saptanmıştır. Metanol çözgeninin diğer çözücülerden daha etkili antioksidan aktivite sergilediği gözlenmiştir. Elde edilen bulgular, D. pellucidum yüksek potansiyelinden dolayı doğal antimikrobiyal ve antioksidan ajan araştırmalarında ve biyofilm kontrolünde tercih edilebileceğini kanıtlamıştır. Bu çalışma, D. pellucidum biyoaktivitesi için ilk rapordur. Bu yaklaşım aynı zamanda medikal kullanım veya ilaç araştırma geliştirmeleri için yeni araştırmalara izin verebilir.

Published: July 2023

Problem. Checking the brake system of a vehicle is crucial in terms of assessing its operational safety, and performance indicators and permissible modes are determined by the state standards of Ukraine. However, there are challenges related to the accuracy and objectivity of evaluating the braking efficiency of a car. The coefficient of adhesion between the wheel and the road surface is the primary factor that significantly affects the braking dynamics of a vehicle. This coefficient constantly changes due to various factors such as road surface conditions, tire design and properties, tire effectiveness, and car speed. Assessing the impact of these factors on a car's braking performance is difficult. Goal. The aim of this study is to experimentally determine the influence of tire properties on vehicle braking efficiency by conducting a multifactorial experiment on cars of different brands with different types of tires. Methodology. The study employs the method of conducting braking tests under road conditions using the necessary equipment. Statistical data on braking efficiency parameters were collected from cars equipped with different tire brands. Experimental tests were conducted on Mazda 323F and Hyundai Elantra cars, using tires from various manufacturers such as Sava, Tigar, Nokian, and MICHELIN. The tests were performed on asphalt-concrete surfaces under dry and wet conditions, and the braking efficiency indicators were measured. Originality. The experiment revealed that the quality of the rubber used in car tires has a significant impact on their braking efficiency within a wide range. The deceleration of a category М1 vehicle can exceed the minimum requirements for braking efficiency, established by national and international standards, by 29-67%, depending on the tire brand. This research presents prospects for further development of experimental and statistical studies in this field, aiming to provide a better understanding of car braking efficiency parameters based on tire quality. Practical Value. The data obtained from this study are of practical importance for evaluating the effectiveness of car braking during expert investigations of traffic accidents. This enables experts to draw more objective conclusions about the accident process and determine the driver's ability to avoid such incidents.

Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura realizada no período de outubro de 2022 a janeiro de 2023, que seguiu as recomendações dos protocolos formulados pelo Joanna Briggs Institute e PRISMA-ScR. Foram adotadas as seguintes ferramentas sistemáticas: a formulação da estratégia PICO para o entendimento e formulação da questão problema, a escolha da CAPES para a formulação dos descritores em inglês e, por fim, a utilização de bases de dados e bibliotecas para as buscas. procurar. Com as buscas e reflexões realizadas, constatou-se que os pacientes tendem a enfrentar, a partir do período de recuperação pós-cirúrgica, diversas alterações em seus próprios corpos, o que dificulta a promoção do autocuidado e, por sua vez, da QV. Entre as queixas mais comuns está a dificuldade de adaptação e limpeza da bolsa coletora, que por vezes acaba tendo o seu conteúdo exteriorizado e espalhando odores no ambiente, gerando sensação de desconforto e dificuldade de convívio. Quando os profissionais de saúde utilizam as escalas de qualidade de vida para entender os problemas individuais mais prevalentes do paciente, eles podem traçar as melhores estratégias de educação em saúde, que vão desde a higiene do estoma e equipamentos relacionados, até a reabilitação em termos de bons hábitos de saúde.
Alternatives to Weighted Item Fit Statistics for Establishing Measurement Invariance in Many Groups
Authors: Joo Sean , Valdivia Montserrat , Valdivia Dubravka Svetina , Rutkowski Leslie
Published: July 2023

Evaluating scale comparability in international large-scale assessments depends on measurement invariance (MI). The root mean square deviation (RMSD) is a standard method for establishing MI in several programs, such as the Programme for International Student Assessment and the Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies. Previous research showed that the RMSD was unable to detect departures from MI when the latent trait distribution was far from item difficulty. In this study, we developed three alternative approaches to the original RMSD: equal, item information, and b-norm weighted RMSDs. Specifically, we considered the item-centered normalized weight distributions to compute the item characteristic curve difference in the RMSD procedure more efficiently. We further compared all methods’ performance via a simulation study and the item information and b-norm weighted RMSDs showed the most promising results. An empirical example is demonstrated, and implications for researchers are discussed.

PGGHG is a differentially expressed gene in brain metastatic human breast cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: July 2023

Metastasis to the brain occurs in a significant fraction of patients with breast cancer (1-3). We mined published RNA-sequencing and microarray data (4, 5) to compare primary and metastatic tumor transcriptomes for the discovery of genes associated with brain metastasis in humans with metastatic breast cancer. We found that protein-glucosylgalactosylhydroxylysine glucosidase, encoded by PGGHG, was among the genes whose expression was most different in the brain metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer as compared to primary tumors of the breast. PGGHG mRNA was present at decreased quantities in brain metastatic tissues as compared to primary tumors of the breast. Expression of PGGHG in primary tumors was correlated with patient overall, distant metastasis-free and metastasis-free survival. Modulation of PGGHG expression may be relevant to the biology by which tumor cells metastasize from the breast to the brain in humans with metastatic breast cancer.

MAL2 mRNA was present at increased quantities in brain metastatic tissues as compared to primary tumors of the breast. Expression of MAL2 in primary tumors was correlated with recurrence-free survival in humans. Modulation of MAL2 expression may be relevant to the biology by which tumor cells metastasize from the breast to the brain in metastatic breast cancer.

AbstrakKehidupan manusia sosial itu sebenarnya memiliki banyak perbedaan antara etika satu dengan yang lainnya. Ketika etika itu selalu ada dan diajarkan di setiap lingkungan,entah itu lingkungan keluarga,masyarakat maupun di lingkungan kampus akan tetap terlihat. Namun etika saat ini sudah mulai dilupakan dan tidak diperhatikan lagi, karena terkadang tidak berlaku bagi mahasiswa yang kurang mendapatkan pengajaran dasar.
BSCL2 is a differentially expressed gene in brain metastatic human breast cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: July 2023

Metastasis to the brain occurs in a significant fraction of patients with breast cancer (1-3). We mined published RNA-sequencing and microarray data (4, 5) to compare primary and metastatic tumor transcriptomes for the discovery of genes associated with brain metastasis in humans with metastatic breast cancer. We previously reported BSCL2 differential expression in CNS metastasis in human breast cancer6. We confirm differential expression of BSCL2 in the brain metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer by next-generation sequencing4 and show that expression of BSCL2 in primary tumors is correlated with overall and recurrence-free survival in patients with breast cancer. Modulation of BSCL2 expression may be relevant to the biology by which tumor cells metastasize from the breast to the brain in humans with metastatic breast cancer.
To Conceal or Reveal: Identity-Conscious Diversity Ideologies Facilitate Sexual Minority Identity Disclosure
Authors: Kirby Teri Ann
Published: July 2023

Sexual minorities continue to face workplace discrimination, which leads to concerns about disclosing their sexual identities. Despite benefits of disclosing, relatively little research has examined what organizational factors foster disclosure of a sexual minority identity. Across five experiments (N = 1,662), sexual minorities were more willing to disclose in organizations with diversity messages conveying that they value group differences (an identity-conscious ideology) relative to those that downplay differences (an identity-blind ideology). Identity-blind ideologies also increased belonging and perceptions of fair treatment, although fair treatment was more plausible as a potential psychological mechanism. Despite expectations that contradictory evidence demonstrating a negative diversity climate (“diversity hypocrisy”) might create mistrust and impede disclosure, the benefits of diversity messages persisted even in the face of a negative diversity climate. These findings point to the complexities of facilitating visible sexual minority representation in many workplace environments.
Causation, Meaning, and Communication

The words we use to describe what happened shape what comes to a listener's mind. How do speakers choose what causal expressions to use? How does that choice impact what listeners imagine? In this paper, we develop a computational model of how people use the causal expressions "caused", "enabled", "affected", and "made no difference". The model first builds a causal representation of what happened. By running counterfactual simulations, the model computes several causal aspects that capture the different ways in which a candidate cause made a difference to the outcome. Logical combinations of these aspects define a semantics for the causal expressions. The model then uses pragmatic inference to decide what word to use in context. We test our model in a series of experiments and compare it to prior psychological accounts. In a set of psycholinguistic studies, we verify the model's semantics and pragmatics. We show that the causal expressions exist on a hierarchy of specificity, and that participants draw informative pragmatic inferences in line with this scale. In the next two studies, we demonstrate that our model quantitatively fits participant behavior in a speaker task and a listener task involving dynamic physical scenarios. We compare our model to two lesioned alternatives, one which removes pragmatic inference, and another which removes semantics and pragmatics. Our full model better accounts for participants' behavior than both alternatives. Taken together, these results suggest a new way forward for modeling the relationship between language and thought in the study of causality.

We replicate the analysis provided in Bokobza et al. (2022). They identify a causal effect of failed coup attempts on cabinet minister removals in autocracies on both the country and individual minister level and show that higher-ranking ministers and those holding strategic positions are more likely to be purged than more loyal and veteran ministers using fixed effects panel models. We focus on computational reproducibility and robustness replicability. In addition to reproducing the original results using Stata and R, we replicate analyses using random effects panel models and ordered beta regression models, reproduced analyses performed in R using different packages, replaced the main independent variable, clustered standard errors on a different level, and added independent variables related to coup-proofing. We find that the original findings were reproducible and robust.
A college on every cape: Gender equality, gender segregation and higher educational expansion
Authors: Rogne Adrian F. , Knutsen Tora Kjærnes , Modalsli Jørgen
Published: July 2023

The expansion of higher educational systems in Western countries in the latter half of the 20th century is central to the reversal of the gender gap in education. In Norway, major reforms starting in the late 1960s aimed at making higher education more accessible for large segments of the population. This occurred through the establishment, upgrading, and gradual expansion of local colleges across the country, especially in female-dominated fields associated with work in expanding welfare sectors. Previous research has suggested that the gendered profile of educational expansions contributed to the cementing of horizontal gender segregation patterns in education and the labor market. We shed light on these processes using new and detailed data on the establishment and upgrading of higher educational institutions between 1969 and 1993. Linking these data to individual-level register, we study how regional variation in educational opportunities affected the educational attainment and field of study choices of young women and men, using an event study approach. While increased access to college education was a prerequisite for the reversal of the gender gap, our results suggest that the location of colleges had, at most, a very modest impact on local educational attainment and gendered field of study choices.

THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE EU PACKAGE TRAVEL DIRECTIVE DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC
Authors: Sobolewska Patrycja
Published: July 2023

The aim of this paper is to analyze the effectiveness of the EU Package Travel Directive during the COVID-19 pandemic. First, the paper depicts the legal regime under Council Directive 90/314/EEC of 13 June 1990 on package travel, package holidays and package tours as well as Directive (EU) 2015/2302 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 25 November 2015 on package travel and linked travel arrangements. The comparison of both EU Package Travel Directives shows both some similarities and differences from the perspective of travellers’ rights. Furthermore, the paper offers justification of the actions taken by the EU Member States in the face of COVID-19 pandemic, using the EU report on the application of the 2015 Package Travel Directive. Finally, the paper exhibits case law relating to tourism that evolved as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic. The reported cases are pending before the Court of Justice of the European Union, which means that all EU Member States are still waiting for the final judgement. The author supports the views presented by Advocate General Laila Medina and strongly believes that the protection of tourists will be continued.

The aim of the article is to compare the layered property ownership right and the heritable building right as potential solutions that could fill the gap in Polish law. Currently, there is no legal institution that would encourage commercial investors to implement investments on or below the ground. In Poland, there are many undeveloped properties located over railway tracks, tunnels or underground car parks. For years, there has been a public debate on the possibility of introducing layer ownership in Poland. The subject of discussion are the solutions used in other countries. The article discusses the draft law introducing the heritable building right. The heritable building right was also compared to the right of perpetual usufruct functioning in Polish law system. An analysis of the currently applicable legal standards was also made in the context of the possibility of introducing three-dimensional properties.
