Published: November 2020

Human muscles and the central nervous system (CNS) play the key role to control the human movements and activities. The human CNS determines each human motion following three steps: estimation of the movement trajectory; calculation of required energy for muscles; then perform the motion. In these three step tasks, the human CNS determines the first two steps and the human muscles conduct the third one. This paper efforts the use of model predictive control (MPC) algorithm to simulate the human CNS calculation in the case of gait motion. We first build up the human gait motion mathematical model with 5-link mechanism. This allows us to apply MPC to calculate the optimal torques at each joint and optimal trajectory for muscles. Outcomes of simulations simultaneously are compared with the real human movements captured by the Vicon motion capture technology which is the novelty of this study. Results show that tracking errors are not excessed 7%.
Performance Analysis of Active Queue Management Algorithm Based on Reinforcement Learning
Authors: Jiang Fuchun , Feng Chenwei , Zhu Chen , Sun Yu
Published: November 2020

In the information society, data explosion has led to more congestion in the core network, dampening the network performance. Random early detection (RED) is currently the standard algorithm for active queue management (AQM) recommended by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). However, RED is particularly sensitive to both service load and algorithm parameters. The algorithm cannot fully utilize the bandwidth at a low service load, and might suffer a long delay at a high service load. This paper designs the reinforcement learning AQM (RLAQM), a simple and practical variant of RED, which controls the average queue length to the predictable value under various network loads, such that the queue size is no longer sensitive to the level of congestion. Q-learning was adopted to adjust the maximum discarding probability, and derive the optimal control strategy. Simulation results indicate that RLAQM can effectively overcome the deficiency of RED and achieve better congestion control; RLAQM improves the network stability and performance in complex environment; it is very easy to migrate from RED to RLAQM on Internet routers: the only operation is to adjust the discarding probability.

Authors: Yang Fan , Shi Yu
Published: November 2020

Piano originated in Europe. It is a keyboard instrument invented by Italian Bartolomeo Cristofori in 1709, known as the king of musical instruments. It is often used in solo, accompaniment, ensemble and other performances. The piano came into China at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. At first, the appreciation and acceptance of the piano by Chinese people was not high. Later, foreign missionaries often used the piano in the church. As time went by, people’s acceptance of piano increased day by day. After the founding of new China, China’s pianists won many awards in international piano competitions. After the reform and opening up, China’s economy has developed rapidly, and it has also absorbed the culture from all over the world. More and more Chinese people begin to appreciate piano music and learn to play. Piano education has also entered the public’s vision. In higher education, many art colleges and universities have set up piano learning related courses. Piano is no longer a rare thing hundreds of years ago, but gradually integrated into Chinese culture. At present, China’s piano education has been orderly popularized, occupying a place in art education, but at the same time there are also some aspects worth thinking about the piano education in the cultivation of aesthetic and artistic accomplishment. From the current situation and development of China’s piano education this paper gives the corresponding countermeasures.

A Detailed Summary of Speech Pathology Assessment and Intervention of A Minimally Verbal Australian Child with Autism Spectrum Disorder
Authors: Sims Danielle
Published: November 2020

Speech and language pathologists have an important role to play in the treatment of individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder. There exists a large body of evidence regarding the efficacy of assessment protocols and treatment approaches for individuals with ASD. There is an ever-growing need for clinicians to adopt holistic, family-centred clinical practices, and this is particularly important within ASD, where clinical presentations are often varied. This study described the assessments and intervention programs used by one SLP in the treatment of a minimally verbal seven-year-old male with a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder. It found that the utilisation of multiple treatment programs may be required within therapy to provide individuals on the autism spectrum with high-quality, family-centred intervention. Further research into the development of clinically standardized procedures for selecting speech pathology interventions to promote client-centred practices is recommended.
Pacifying Police Units and private interests in Brazil
Authors: Dore Mayane , Bayarri Gabriel , Marías Daniel
Published: November 2020

This article analyzes a concrete policy in the framework of Brazilian Public Security: the Pacifying Police Units (UPPs). It describes this policy and justifies, through an ethnographic case study, how the so-called “pacification of the favelas” articulates a logic of neoliberal urbanism and police infrastructure, understanding the residents of the favelas as potential consumers of their services. The article contextualizes the UPPs model as a paradigmatic case of public security in Latin America in which the discourse of violence/pacification is the main catalyst for private investments. More specifically, the article demonstrates how private companies resort to proximity conflicts mediation as a way of avoiding the judicialization of conflicts with the residents after the “Pacification”. With this case, we expect to illustrate the patrimonialism and clientelism that shapes the Brazilian State and its ambiguous relationships between private and public interests.

HYDROTHERMAL MODELING OF SECONDARY RESERVOIR FORMATI ON IN SILICEOUS LIMESTONS (H2O–CO2 SYSTEM)
Authors:   West-Siberian Geological Center, Zubkov M. Yu.
Published: November 2020

We have discussed the first results of hydrothermal modeling of the formation of secondary reservoirs (hydrothermal silicites) in siliceous limestones, which are widespread in the Pre-Jurassic complex of West Siberia, namely, in the H2O-CO2 system, in which the mole fraction of CO2 varied from 0.0 to 1.0, and the temperature from 215 to 410оС. It has been found that in this system there is a predominant dissolution of carbonates and, first of all, dolomite, as a result of which the surface of siliceous limestone is silicified and secondary porosity is formed in them. In some samples, quartz microcrystals with varying degrees of perfection of crystal faceting are shaped. It is found that pyrite is also unstable under these hydrothermal conditions and decomposes forming iron-containing carbonates at its sacrifice. Its transformation into pyrrhotite and copper and nickel sulfides is also observed. Biogenic quartz dissolved by a hydrothermal fluid is released from it either in the form of microcrystalline quartz, or in the form of quenching phases represented by cristobalite and/or amorphous silica. It is also found that at temperatures above 360°C, instead of iron-containing carbonates, chlorite is formed due to pyrite, while kaolinite also decomposes along with pyrite. It was experimentally established for the first time that at a high temperature (410°C), carbon dioxide acquires oxidizing properties and, as a result of its interaction with copper, oxide and red oxide of copper are formed. In addition, under these conditions, pyrite passes into iron-containing carbonates rather than chlorite. The main regularities of the formation of secondary reservoirs, i. e. hydrothermal silicites, in the Paleozoic siliceous limestone have been revealed.

Bolaang Monondow
Authors: Ratulangi Max Marthen , Rimbing Jimmy , Assa Berty H , Rorong Frangky
Published: November 2020

Scotinophara sp is a major pest that damages rice fields in Bolaang Mongondow. The use of
insecticides failed to stop the rice black bugs attacks. Entomopathogenic fungi can be used to reduce rice black
bugs population. However, the function of the type of fungus that can eradicate rice black bugs was not yet
identified. This experimental research was conducted to identify the types of fungus that attack rice black bugs
by taking samples of nymphs and imago attacked by entomopathogenic fungi in Bolaang Mongondow Regency.
Sampling of rice black bugs was done 3 times. Koch’s postulates test was employed to see the fungus that infect
the rice black bugs. Samples were isolated on PDA media (Patato dextrose agar). Entomopathogenic fungi
were purified, then inoculated on healthy rice black bugs. Rice black bugs infected with fungi were isolated
again on PDA media. In a mass, of fungus colonies showed reddish white field and after being isolated on PDA
media of the colony agregate, entomopathogenic Paecilomyces sp. fungus and Fusarium sp were found. Fungi
as pathogenic agent was only found in Paecilomyces sp. The rice black bugs (Scotinophara sp.) were isolated
on culture media and inoculation in healthy Scotinophara sp showed the same color of the colony during
sampling of Scotinophara sp. infected with fungus. Both fungi were scattered at the location of Scotinophara
sp infected with fungi.

Published: November 2020

Now days, the waste rice husk from rice mill, marble powder from tile industry and
fly ash from steam power plant are necessary to utilize as partial replacement of cement for
concrete production. Large scale production of cement required consumption of raw materials
and energy as well as emissions to air which posse’s environmental threat in various areas of
country. Apart from the environmental threat, there still exists the problem of shortage in
many areas. Therefore, substitute material for concrete needs to be considered. The paper aims
to analyze the compressive strength of concrete cubes and flexural strength of concrete beams
made from partially replaced cement, sand, and coarse aggregate. This research study adopted
in laboratory on 48 total specimens of grade M25 concrete cubes of size 150x150x150mm and
concrte beams of size 100x100x500mm were casted. Out of the 48 concrete specimens cast, 6
each were made out 10%, 20%, and 30 % replacement of fly ash, rice husk ash and marble
powder to cement in concrete. It was found that the compressive strength and flexural strength
of concrete made from the mixture of 20 % partially replaced cement, sand and coarse
aggregate was similar than the concrete made from without replaced cement , sand and coarse
aggregate.

Macrotyloma uniflorum Linn. (Fabaceae) seeds are widely used for their diuretic and
urolithiatic effects in India. The present study investigated the effect of aqueous extract of
Macrotyloma uniflorum seeds (AEMU) on ethylene glycol induced urolithiasis in rats. To
induce urolithiasis, 0.75% v/v ethylene glycol was administered orally for 14 days. The curative
doses of 400 and 800 mg/kg were administered from 15th to 28th day. On 28th day, 24 hr urine,
serum was collected and various biochemical parameters were estimated in urine, serum and
kidney homogenate along with histology of kidney. Co-administration of AEMU with ethylene
glycol has significantly (p<0.001) increased the urine volume and the level of calculus
inhibitors like magnesium, citrate and decreased the level of calculus promoters like calcium,
oxalate, uric acid and urea also decreased in crystallria in urine. AEMU supplement also
prevented the pathological changes in kidney and increased the glomerulus activity of the
kidney. These results indicate that AEMU showed significant activity in urolithiasis which
might be due to its diuretic, calcium oxalate crystal formation inhibitory effects and its ability
to increase the levels of inhibitors and decrease the level of promoters of urolithiasis.

Background & Objectives: Unspecified lower abdominal pain might confuse
clinicians in diagnosing pediatric appendicitis. Ultrasonography, as an initial affordable tool,
has been learned its role in reducing unnecessary appendectomy. This study aimed to determine
the accuracy of ultrasonography in pediatric acute appendicitis and its correlation to
intraoperative findings, confirmed by histopathology results. The result would verify other
study experience.
Methods : The study was a diagnostic study which retrospectively review the children who
underwent an ultrasound study for suspected appendicitis in pediatric surgery division of Haji
Adam Malik Hospital and Universitas Sumatera Utara Hospital, Medan, North Sumatera
between January 2014 until March 2019. We determined the accuracy along with sensitivity
and specificity results of Ultrasonography (USG) using calculated formula. The comparation
between ultrasonography results and intraoperative findings was analyzed using Chi Square test
or its alternative.
Results : Among the 32 patients, male and female were almost equal in 1:1 ratio, with mean
age of 14.06 (±3.98) years old. Twenty-six patients were positively diagnosed as appendicitis
using ultrasonography. Only two patients have no appendicitis based on intraoperative findings,
confirmed by histopathology results. There is a statistically significant difference between
ultrasonography findings and histopathology results (p=0,03). We obtained the accuracy of
ultrasonography in predicting appendicitis was 87.5%, with 86.7% sensitivity and 100%
specificity.
Conclusion : Our results compare favorably with alternative studies, however indicate the
potential for improvement in accuracy of image, with a future study incorporating new ways of
categorizing ultrasound findings presently being undertaken.
A Hierarchical Routing Method based on Fog Technology using the Grey system Theory in Internet of Things

Published: November 2020

Considering the great growth of IoT networks and the need for highly reliable networks and also considering the manufacturing divides of IoT equipment which are highly limited by their memory, processing power and battery; we need a highly efficient routing for guaranteeing our network's high life span. So, this paper has suggested an efficient energy routing method based on the overlapping clustering method which is inspired from the Grey theory. The Overlap clustering method means that some Things collect data that must be sent to two or more Fog nodes for processing. In the suggested method the best node is selected as the cluster head based on factors such as remaining energy, distance, link expiration time, signal power for receiving data from things by the Fog nodes. In the next step the Fog node's data are sent in a hierarchical method using a symmetrical tree of processed data to the server. Thus, the main issue here is making using a proper routing method for data sending to the Cloud that doesn't just focus on energy, but also considers other factors such as delay and network life span. The simulation results show that the HR-IoT reduces the average end to end delay more than 17.2% and 23.1%, decreases the response time more than 20.1% and 25.78% and increase packet delivery rate more than 23.1% and 28.78% and lifetime more than 25.1% and 28.78% compared to EECRP and ERGID approaches.
Fertility and Ecology Assessment of 100 Year Old Rare Indigenous Spider Web Shape Paddy Field in Semiarid Ecosystem of Flores Island Using NDVI
Authors: Wibowo Andri
Published: November 2020

Paddy field is an old agriculture practice that very common especially in Asia. The earliest paddy field found dated back to 4330 BC. Most paddy fields in the world are having rectangular shapes. Whereas, in Flores island, indigenous people have developed a spider web or circular paddy field instead of regular rectangular shape and this driven by culture and local wisdom. In here, the objectives of this study are to assess the characteristic, ecology and fertility of circular paddy field compared to common rectangular shape. Fertility values were assessed using Landsat 8 remote sensing with RGB combination of NIR, SWIR 1 and blue. The study site was paddy field within Flores island. The result shows that spider web paddy field appeared in many sizes, number, altitude, ecosystem and terrain. Remote sensing result confirms that the fertility of circular paddy field is similar to the rectangular shape. Likewise, circular field has higher NDVI than rectangular field. Considering semiarid environment, limited labor and resources in Flores island, circular paddy field shape can allow the use of pivot irrigation that more efficient.

Çalışmanın amacı, 2000’li yıllarla birlikte iş dünyasını etkisi altına alan ve önemli kavramlardan biri olarak popüler hale gelen, alan yazında oldukça çok çalışılmış ve halen de çalışılmaya devam edilen bir kavram olarak karşımıza çıkan inovasyon konusunda Türkiye’de hazırlanmış lisansüstü tez çalışmalarını inceleyerek bu alanda yapılan çalışmaların durum tespitini yapmaktır. Yüksek Öğretim Kurumu’nun tez merkezinde bulunan ve erişime açık/kısıtlı olan 399 tez çalışması araştırmanın örneklemini oluşturmaktadır. Araştırma kapsamında yer alan tezler; yayınlandığı yıl, hazırlandığı üniversite, bağlı olduğu enstitü, ana bilim dalı, bilim dalı, tezin türü ve konunun ilişkilendirildiği diğer konular gibi boyutlar üzerinden incelenmiştir. Verilerin analizinde nicel araştırma yöntemlerinden biri olan “içerik analizi” tekniği kullanılmıştır. Analiz sonucuna göre, inovasyon konusuyla ilgili yapılan tezlerde özellikle 2014 yılından sonra artış olduğu görülmüştür. İncelenen tezlerin çoğunun işletme alanında yoğunlaştığı ve diğer bölümlerde sınırlı sayıda kaldığı tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca inovasyonun birçok farklı konuyla ilişkilendirildiği görülmüş ve konunun özel sektör başta olmak üzere eğitim, sağlık ve hizmet sektörü gibi birçok sektörde ele alındığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Türkiye’de bu çalışmalar çok olmakla birlikte tüm alanlarda yapılmış yeterli seviyede çalışma bulunmamaktadır. Gelecek çalışmalarda farklı alanlarda yapılan çalışmalar ile birlikte inovasyon kavramının tüm alanlarda yaygınlaşarak etkisinin artacağı düşünülmektedir.
