Low-Cost IoT-Based Sensor System: A Case Study on Harsh Environmental Monitoring
Authors: Sunny Ali Imam , Zhao Aobo , Li Li , Kanteh Sakiliba Sambu Kanteh
Published: December 2020

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are promising technologies for exploiting in harsh environments such as can be found in the nuclear industry. Nuclear storage facilities can be considered harsh environments in that, amongst other variables, they can be dark, congested, and have high gamma radiation levels, which preclude operator access. These conditions represent significant challenges to sensor reliability, data acquisition and communications, power supplies, and longevity. Installed monitoring of parameters such as temperature, pressure, radiation, humidity, and hydrogen content within a nuclear facility may offer significant advantages over current baseline measurement options. This paper explores Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) components to comprise an installed Internet of Things (IoT)-based multipurpose monitoring system for a specific nuclear storage situation measuring hydrogen concentration and temperature. This work addresses two major challenges of developing an installed remote sensing monitor for a typical nuclear storage scenario to detect both hydrogen concentrations and temperature: (1) development of a compact, cost-effective, and robust multisensor system from COTS components, and (2) validation of the sensor system for detecting temperature and hydrogen gas release. The proof of concept system developed in this study not only demonstrates the cost reduction of regular monitoring but also enables intelligent data management through the IoT by using ThingSpeak in a harsh environment.
Impact Damage Detection in Patch-Repaired CFRP Laminates Using Nonlinear Lamb Waves
Authors: Yin Zhenhua , Li Cheng , Tie Ying , Duan Yuechen
Published: December 2020

Carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates, a key composite material, are widely used in aircraft structures and are susceptible to low-velocity impact (LVI) damage from bird strikes, lightning strikes, hail impacts and other situations. Therefore, finding a method that repairs the damaged structure and detects the effect of these repairs under LVI is a very important goal. In this work, the repair effect of LVI damage in CFRP laminates repaired with patches of various sizes is investigated via experimental and numerical nonlinear Lamb wave analyses. An integrated numerical procedure that combines LVI with nonlinear Lamb wave detection is developed to predict the nonlinear Lamb wave behavior in LVI-damaged patch-repaired CFRP laminates. The CFRP laminate damage in the nonlinear Lamb wave simulation is evaluated based on relative acoustic nonlinearity parameters (RANPs). As a result, the integrated numerical procedure is validated with drop-weight impact tests and RAM-5000 SNAP nonlinear ultrasonic detection system. An optimal patch design is established via interpolation to optimize the absorbed energy, delamination surface area, second RANP and third RANP with different patch repair sizes. These parameters exhibit consistent curve fitting trends, indicating that they can be used as important indicators of impact damage. The optimal circular patch design with a radius of 2.5 r has better impact resistance behavior and repair performance.

Authors: Goold Kari L. J. , Aniga Reynafe N. , Gray Peter B.
Published: December 2020

This case study entailed a Twitter content analysis to address the pandemic-delayed start to Major League Baseball (MLB) in the shortened 2020 season. This case study helps address the overarching objective to investigate how the sports world, especially fans, responded to MLB played during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic. The methods investigated the common themes and determined who used predetermined Twitter hashtags. We recorded how many times external links, photos, emojis, and the 30 MLB teams were mentioned in the 779 tweets obtained during 39 days of data retrieval. Results showed that the most common category of tweeted content concerned news reports. Comparable numbers of positive and negative responses to the start of the MLB season were recognized, with a fraction of tweets highlighting COVID-19 impacts on health and modification of play (e.g., cardboard fans). The majority of Twitter users were from media and layperson categories. More inferred males tweeted using the selected hashtags. In exploratory analyses, results indicated that 50.2% of the sample included a link or a photo, and 2.2% of the sample used an emoji. The three most mentioned teams were the Cardinals (N = 51), Marlins (N = 49), and the Yankees (N = 48). The results confirmed the value of social media analysis as a research approach and revealed patterns emerging during a unique pandemic sports and media era.
Bounce and Stability in the Early Cosmology with Anomaly-Induced Corrections
Authors: Silva Wagno Cesar e , Shapiro Ilya L.
Published: December 2020

An extremely fast exponential expansion of the Universe is typical for the stable version of the inflationary model, based on the anomaly-induced action of gravity. The total amount of exponential e-folds could be very large, before the transition to the unstable version and the beginning of the Starobinsky inflation. Thus, the stable exponential expansion can be seen as a pre-inflationary semiclassical cosmological solution. We explore whether this stable phase could follow after the bounce, subsequent to the contraction of the Universe. Extending the previous consideration of the bounce, we explore both stable expansion and the bounce solutions in the models with non-zero cosmological constant and the presence of background radiation. The critical part of the analysis concerns stability for small perturbations of the Hubble parameter. It is shown that the stability is possible for the variations in the bounce region, but not in the sufficiently distant past in the contraction phase.
The Historical Facts about Hate Crime in America The Social Worker’s Role in Victim Recovery and Community Restoration
Authors: Kaplan Mitchell A , Inguanzo Marian
Published: December 2020

Attitudes and belief systems associated with social intolerance and racial bigotry have been part of American society for generations. Analysis of historical records reveals a number of examples of how these social forces have shaped society’s reaction to those they consider to be not part of the mainstream culture. A review of research documented in the literature on social psychology indicates that individuals who hold strong prejudicial beliefs about others based solely on race, religion, sexual orientation, or ancestry often express those feelings in ways that lead to the commission of criminal acts known as hate crimes. The proliferation of hate crime in the United States represents a major social problem that has reached new heights since the 2016 election. The promotion of anti-diversity rhetoric by President Trump and his Republican administration has fueled a stronger, more empowered White nationalist movement in this country whose racist ideology has inspired an uptick in violent attacks against those they consider a threat to the American way of life. Substantial evidence of the rise of bias-related crimes against individuals that are members of racial, ethnic, religious, and sexual minority groups targeted by the administration’s hate campaign can be found in statistics from national surveys that indicate that since the election, the frequency of these type of attacks has more than doubled across the nation. The beating of a Black man at a public rally in Charlottesville, Virginia by White nationalists in August 2017 and the mass shooting that took place at a gay Latino nightclub in Orlando, Florida in 2016 are just two examples of what has become an expanding national trend of hate violence against marginalized groups in our society that are perceived as outsiders. This article presents an analysis of the history of bias-motivated crime in the United States and the national response to this type of criminal behavior. It discusses the psychological and social impact of these crimes on victims, communities, and society. It examines how social workers can implement the intervention techniques of the restorative justice model to help those affected rebuild their lives and communities in the aftermath of crime precipitated by hate.

Published: December 2020

One of the most crucial stages in the new system of PP 17/2017 on Synchronization of National Development Planning and Budgeting is creating a comprehensive and accurate Terms of References (TOR) and budget plan, which define all aspects of how line ministries or stakeholders will conduct the priority project. Taking one example of priority projects of the Ministry of Cooperatives and SMEs, which is called Pusat Layanan Usaha Terpadu/ PLUT KUMKM, this study aims to identify how line ministry (the Ministry of Cooperatives and SMEs) describes its project and overall perceives the new system of planning and budgeting. Using logical framework approach, this study analyzes a number of documents such as TOR, budget plan, and government plan that related to PLUT KUMKM project. The result shows that the Ministry of Cooperatives and SMEs needs to improve the perception of the new system since the TOR and budget plan cannot fully describe the project comprehensively.
Physical and chemical bases of decarburization of high-carbon ferromanganese melt
Authors: O Velychko , Du Yunshen , Ya Mianovska , L Kamkina , R Ankuninov
Published: December 2020

The aim of the work is to establish physicochemical patterns of behavior of carbon, silicon, manganese when using the method of oxygen purge of high-carbon ferromanganese. Method. The process of blowing red metal to sour is neglected. With the fusion of fused acid, it is more important to oxidize silicon. Its presence in metal is practical in the block of oxidized manganese. Because oxygen is an assimilation gas, the mixing processes of the converter bath components and the reduction of manganese oxides at the metal-slag interface do not develop properly during purging.
The smelters of the medium-carbonaceous ferromanganese in the converter are characterized by a stable chemical warehouse and even a higher number of vimogs for this type of alloy. The low concentration of silicon in metal over a number of swimming trunks can be easily shoved with a hat of pre-purge bathtub with sour at the final stage of refining.
The behavior of phosphorus in these smelts is not controlled. The content of P2O5 in the final slag is 0.1%. To achieve acceptable concentrations of phosphorus in the metal, it is necessary to use starting materials with a low phosphorus content. Scientific novelty.Taking into consideration the high affinity of silicon for oxygen, the physical and chemical basis for the production of medium-carbon ferromanganese, as well as metallic manganese and low-carbon ferromanganese, is the process of the interaction of manganese oxides of a certain basicity slag melt with silicon dissolved in ferromanganese (manganese), that is, as combined reduction -refining process to produce manganese ferroalloys with a given silicon content standard

The article deals with the comparison of airship, air, road, rail and ship transportation from the economic and environmental point of view. The economic aspect is represented by calculations of the transport time and the total price for the fuel consumed. The ecological aspect is expressed in terms of the amount of released CO2 into the atmosphere. The comparison is carried out on a selected route, specifically from Brest in France to Hamburg, Germany. These two points were chosen because they are located at a sufficient distance from each other, close to the airport and the port. The model situation does not take into account the various airport, road or other similar transport charges. Only the distance calculated on suitable roads and routes and the fuel consumption of the means of transport during transport are be taken into account.

Published: December 2020

Outreach program carried out by a team from the IAI Al-Qodiri KKM was held in early July 01- 01 September 2019. Located in Panti district, Jember regency, this has made a very significant contribution to the community, especially in Kemiri village and received a very good welcome and high enthusiasm. The home industry counseling and training held in the district of Jember is one way to raise the economic level of the community. As with the government's five priority programs for 2019, one of them is to try to alleviate poverty and inequality. In this training, the Al-Qodiri KKM Team utilized young papaya fruit to become papaya sticks, which are natural products of the local community whose utilization is not optimal. It is hoped that the papaya stick home industry can become a home business with small capital and large profits. Apart from that, it also opens job opportunities for local people and improves their skills.

Some of the supporting factors for these activities include: the participants of the socialization have a great willingness to take part in counseling and training on the papaya stick home industry, product marketing by entrusting them to the nearest shops or through social media in the form of Facebook and Whatsapp. Some of the obstacles faced during counseling and training for papaya stick home industry are: (1) there are limitations in supporting facilities for conducting counseling and training, including the absence of LCD and projectors. (2) The training activity which was planned to run for 2 days could not be realized due to collisions with the activities of the participants, the majority of whom were farm laborers, where their activities started from morning to evening. So that the socialization team was a bit troublesome to adjust the time accordingly. (3) it is difficult to access the internet to provide training in papaya stick product marketing because of the lack of signal in the area.

Published: December 2020

Kajian tentang  pendidikan multikultural, kaitannya dengan penguatan paham moderasi di pesantren penting dilakukan, mengingat Pendidikan Islam di berbagai lembaga pendidikan ditengarai belum mencapai pada substansi penghayatan nilai keagamaan dan praktik keagamaan pluralis-multikultural. Fenomena tersebut sangat berpengaruh pada tumbuhnya sikap ekslusif dan fanatisme buta, bahkan cenderung “radikal” bagi anak didik. Sistem pendidikan integralistik, humanis, toleran dan moderat di negara kita, sebenarnya telah ada sejak dulu yaitu pondok pesantren.  Oleh karena itu, penelitian tentang pendidikan multikultural dalm penguatan paham moderasi dengan mengambil kasus yang terjadi di Ma’had Aly PPSS Situbondo ini penting dilakukan. Penelitian ini menghasilkan temuan, bahwa penerapan pendidikan multikultural dilakukan melalui dua cara, yaitu: Pertama internalisasi nilai, tahap additive level (penambahan)  dan tahap transformative level (perubahan). Kedua  pola transformasi dimensi nilai, meliputi: (1). Conten Integration  (integrasi budaya); (2). The Knowladge Construction Process (Konstruksi budaya dalam pengetahuan); (3) An equality of Pedagogment  (penyesuaian metode pembelajaran); (4). Culturally Sensitive Teaching Strategies; (interaksi  dalam  pengajaran);  dan (5).  Prejudice Reduction in Instructional.

COVID-19 as a prestige-promoting mechanism: PESCO framework as an opportunity for EU member states
Authors: Bodnieks Valerijs , Broka Sintija
Published: December 2020

The goal of this study is to identify whether PESCO can be one of the tools for future projects in medicine and whether it can be used to strengthen the military medicine of the EU and, simultaneously, be in synergy with the civilian sector by providing support to the civilian field, and, finally, can EU member states increase their prestige through PESCO. The study, which is based on qualitative research methods, shows that based on Latvia’s case, strengthening the medical field by participating in PESCO can lead to countries promoting their prestige on the international stage, as well as strengthening civil-military cooperation to build much stronger policies within the EU member states. Firstly, the findings showed that from all 47 PESCO projects, only two are related to the field of medicine. Secondly, with the whole world being affected by COVID-19, PESCO can be used for new projects related to the field of medicine. Thirdly, different types of projects can be initiated under PESCO, for example, a new kind of transport for evacuation, new types of medical devices, the creation of new regional laboratories and research centres, development of new analytical and biotechnological equipment, improvement of logistic chains, the establishment of unique and specific training institutions for civilian and military medics, and the development and use of robotic technologies or drones. Finally, countries that engage in epidemiological security measures during COVID 19 are clearly enhancing their prestige by not only demonstrating their readiness to react to the current situation, but also by taking practical action.
Game of Proxies – Towards a new model of warfare: Experiences from the CAR, Libya, Mali, Syria, and Ukraine

Published: December 2020

The objective of the study is to carry out a meaningful comparison that demonstrates the similarities and differences of various conflict theatres where proxy forces were employed. The analyses of the discussed cases focused on different aspects of the conflict and nature of the proxy use. The analyses presented on the following pages were conducted on the basis of the literature on the subject, governmental research and reports, and supporting sources reporting recent developments that complemented academic sources. Various non-state actors such as ethnic militias, paramilitary units, and private military companies have become more and more visible on contemporary battlegrounds. Modern states employ those actors to further their objectives, as this limits their own political and financial costs. This increasingly visible phenomenon points to an emerging new model of warfare where state actors are relying ever more on proxies of various character and nature. It is highly likely that any future conflict will be characterised by a proxy-based model of warfare, which will consist of a limited footprint made by regular forces (or none at all) and, consequently, the extended use of proxies supported by special forces. Because such an approach is less costly, proxies will be more often employed by low-budget states, previously reluctant to carry out such costly military endeavours. Denying the actions and affiliations of these proxies will inevitably follow and, in turn, a lack of political accountability and responsibility for the conflict’s outcome.

A new bisexual flower, Singpuria kapgatei, gen. et sp. nov., is described from chert of latest Cretaceous age from the Deccan Intertrappean Beds at Singpur, Madhya Pradesh, in central India. The hypogynous, actinomorphic flower is ~1.6 mm wide, with distinct sepals and petals. The androecium consists of 18 tetrasporangiate, dithecal, basifixed anthers borne in radial pairs on nine bifurcate filaments. The gynoecium is superior and syncarpous, with pentagonal symmetry. Pollen from the stamens is tricolporate and microreticulate. The combined morphological features of this flower indicate that Singpuria is a eudicot with affinities in the Pentapetalae, but we have been unable to make a more precise assignment. Nevertheless, we consider it useful to place this rare fossil flower on record as an exemplary extinct member of the Deccan biota. Singpuria may represent a clade that was isolated on the Indian subcontinent and became extinct in response to environmental changes at the K/Pg boundary, or later in the Cenozoic as the land mass moved northward through new climate zones and collided with Eurasia.

We tested the functionality of ITS-based DNA barcoding in lichen fungi using Colombian samples of the genus Usnea as an example. New ITS sequences were generated for 15 samples from five localities in two different ecoregions, representing varying morphologies and medullary chemistries. We employed five strategies to identify the samples: (1) BLASTn on the NCBI BLAST site with the original identifications of the best matching reference sequences; (2) as previous, but with revised identifications of the reference sequences based on a separately published revision of ITS sequences published for the genus; (3) local BLASTn in BioEdit using a separately published, revised and curated set of ITS reference sequences for the genus; (4) multiple alignment based phylogenetic analysis within the framework of all available ITS sequences for Usnea s.str.; and (5) integrative taxonomy, combining molecular phylogeny and comparative analysis of phenotype and chemical data. Using the latter approach as reference, we found that NCBI BLASTn with original identifications performed poorly, resulting in an identification success rate of only 7% (a single sample). NCBI BLASTn with revised identifications more than tripled identification success (23%), but was still unsatisfactory. Local BLASTn in BioEdit using the revised, curated reference data further doubled identification success (47%), but remained inadequate. Multiple alignment-based phylogenetic analysis achieved an identification success rate of 80% compared to the result from integrative taxonomy. Based on these results, we conclude that ITS-based DNA barcoding of the genus Usnea under the current circumstances performs poorly, but can be substantially improved using three strategies: (1) update identifications of reference sequences in primary repositories such as GenBank or alternatively use a curated reference data set; (2) perform local BLAST with a curated reference data set focusing on the target genus only, combined with multiple alignment-based phylogenetic analysis as a verification step; and (3) close substantial geographic and taxonomic gaps in the existing reference data. Our analyses suggest that if a near-complete reference data set with correct identifications existed for the genus, then standard BLAST approaches could achieve high levels of identification success close to 100%. As part of our DNA barcoding exercise, which generated the first 15 ITS sequences for Colombian samples of the genus Usnea, we confirm the presence of U. aranea and U. wasmuthii in Colombia and we report for the first time U. tenuicorticata for the country.
INTELLIGENT CONTROL TECHNOLOGY OF AGRICULTURAL GREENHOUSE OPERATION ROBOT BASED ON FUZZY PID PATH TRACKING ALGORITHM
Authors: Qun Ren
Published: December 2020

With the development of agricultural automation, applying intelligent algorithms to the navigation control of agricultural work vehicles has important practical significance for improving vehicle navigation accuracy and operation efficiency. In view of the complexity of the agricultural greenhouse environment, this study proposed a fuzzy PID path tracking algorithm based on the traditional vehicle PID control system. This algorithm uses a fuzzy controller to improve the PID control system, thereby realizing the online setting of PID control parameters. In order to verify the effectiveness of the fuzzy PID path tracking algorithm, the improved control system was applied to the tracked vehicle robot of Beijing Forestry University, and the operation performance of the vehicle robot was tested. The research results show that the absolute error rate of vehicle robot distance measurement is less than 1%; the error of the man-machine follow-up test is between 4 and 7 cm, and the measured follow-up distance is slightly less than the safe follow-up distance; the maximum error of the vehicle's fixed-point parking is 0.3 cm; The linear position tracking control has a lateral position deviation of ±3cm, and the vehicle's linear driving control and steering effects are better. The fuzzy PID path tracking algorithm designed this time shows good control performance, which has reference significance for the practical application of agricultural robots.

The paper presents the interaction system within soil working mechanical process, consisting of two elements, namely the soil and the tool metal, between which there is a relative movement at the level of the interface between the two elements. Research has shown that there are at least two main forces acting on the active parts: friction and impact, the action of these forces causing wear.
In order to test the soil working knives under laboratory conditions, a test stand was used to test different types of soil working knives by modifying their functional parameters, respectively the working depth, knife angle relative to the soil, lateral angle relative to the forward direction, working speed and, if necessary, granulation and moisture of the test medium respectively.
WILD SPECIES OF VASCULAR PLANTS ON THE TERRITORY OF THE BOTANICAL GARDEN OF THE KURGAN STATE UNIVERSITY
Authors: Naumenko N.I.
Published: December 2020

An annotated checklist of the spontaneous component of the flora of the Botanical garden of Kurgan University is presented, which included 559 species and 7 nototypes from 323 genera and 81 families, which is 66.7 % of the flora of Kurgan. For each taxon, the status of its inclusion in the flora is given (native or adventive on the territory of the Southern Trans-Urals), briefly indicated: life form, type of area, ecological and phytocenotic characteristics. When characterizing aboriginal species, the summary indicates their ability to settle in secondary habitats (from species incapable of weed and occasional apophytes that are not resistant in secondary habitats to apophytes that are resistant in secondary habitats). Of the plants of the natural flora growing on the territory of the Botanical Garden, 156 species (27.6 % of the list) do not weed and are found in areas occupied by natural vegetation.
