Authors: Koch Stefan , Altinkemer Kemal
Published: May 2022

This paper proposes a modified approach for analyzing and presenting the value generation, capture, and distribution from organizational adoption of new technologies. The focal technology used is emotion detection, and technical approaches and possibilities, as well as some of the inherent challenges and limitations are briefly described. For this technology potential, a novel framework for value generation, capture, and distribution is developed using a design science approach. The framework allows organizations to select appropriate adoption areas and derive methods for risk and problem mitigation. This framework is then demonstrated within the selected setting of emotion detection capabilities.

Published: May 2022

This research was aimed to extract association rules on the morbidity and mortality of corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The dataset has four attributes that determine morbidity and mortality; including Confirmed Cases, New Cases, Deaths, and New Deaths. The dataset was obtained as of 2nd April, 2020 from the WHO website and converted to transaction format. The Apriori algorithm was then deployed to extract association rules on these attributes. Six rules were extracted: Rule 1. {Deaths, NewDeaths}=>{NewCases}, Rule 2. {ConfCases, NewDeaths}=>{NewCases}, Rule 3. {ConfCases, Deaths}=>{NewCases}, Rule 4. {Deaths, NewCases}=>{NewDeaths}, Rule 5. {ConfCases, Deaths}=>{NewDeaths}, Rule 6. {ConfCases, NewCases}=>{NewDeaths}, with confidence 0.96, 0.96, 0.86, 0.66, 0.59, 0.51 respectively. These rules provide useful information that is vital on how to curtail further spread and deaths from the virus, both in areas where the pandemic is already ravaging and in areas yet to experience the outbreak.

Published: May 2022

The Internet of Things (IoT) is an important emerging technology that enables (usually) pervasive ubiquitous devices to connect to the Internet. Medical and Healthcare Internet of Things (MHIoT) represents one of the application areas for IoT that has revolutionized the healthcare sector. In this study, a review of literature on the adoption of MHIoT for diabetes management is conducted to investigate IoT application in the monitoring of diabetes, key challenges, what has been done, in which context, the research gap and thereby contributing to literature in the management of one non-communicable disease. The key findings reveal that developing nations are lagging despite the greater benefits of MHIoT in such resource-constrained contexts. The findings suggest that infrastructure costs, security, and privacy issues are most important in the adoption of MHIoT for diabetes management, and these need to be further investigated for maximum adoption of MHIoT. The opportunities presented by MHIoT surpass the challenges as healthcare costs are reduced in a resource-constrained context.

Published: May 2022

This study compared the achievement emotions of Egyptian undergraduates in online versus in-person classes. A sample of 147 students completed an adapted version of the Achievement Emotions Questionnaire concerning class-related matters. Additionally, 50 students completed written interviews regarding their emotional reactions. The results showed that students experienced higher levels of positive emotions and lower levels of negative emotions in in-person classes as compared to online classes. In terms of in-person classes, students appreciated having direct contact with teachers and other students and enjoyed better understanding of the lectures. However, they did not feel comfortable about asking/answering questions or taking sudden tests/quizzes. In terms of online classes, students appreciated feeling comfortable at home, saving time/effort as they did not commute to the university and having more accessible learning resources. However, they faced several technical problems and did not manage well with the lack of direct interaction with teachers and other students.

Authors: Zhu Ming , Yan Xiukun , Li Jing , Liu Cong , Cao Yawen
Published: May 2022

Mobile edge computing is playing an increasingly important role in the rise of mobile internet technology. Services deployed on edge servers nearby mobile users would provide computing capabilities with low latency and high scalability. Usually, a single service is challenging to meet a complex user request, which asks for composing services. With the increasing number of services in the cloud and edge computing environment and the user mobility, selecting appropriate services to meet the complex mobile user's requests becomes a crucial problem. This paper proposes a modified moth-flame optimization algorithm using overall QoS for service selection. Specifically, the overall QoS of services is calculated by combining the subjective and objective QoS with the ordinal relationship and coefficient of variation, and the moth-flame optimization algorithm is improved by adding the differential evolution algorithm. The experimental results show that the proposed approach outperforms some other services selection approaches.
HyTM-AP Hybrid Transactional Memory Scheme Using Abort Prediction and Adaptive Retry Policy for Multi-Core In-Memory Databases
Authors: Kim Hyeong-Jin , Lee Hyun-Jo , Kim Yong-Ki , Chang Jae-Woo
Published: May 2022

Recently, works on integrating HTM with STM, called hybrid transactional memory (HyTM), have intensively studied. However, the existing works consider only the prediction of a conflict between two transactions and provide a static HTM configuration for all workloads. To solve the problems, we proposes a hybrid transactional memory scheme based on both abort prediction and an adaptive retry policy, called HyTM-AP. First, our HyTM-AP can predict not only conflicts between concurrently running transactions, but also the capacity and other aborts of transactions by collecting the information of transactions previously executed. Second, our HyTM-AP can provide an adaptive retry policy based on machine learning algorithms, according to the characteristic of a given workload. Finally, through our experimental performance analysis using the STAMP benchmark, our HyTM-AP shows 12~13% better performance than the existing HyTM schemes.

The field of IM is passing through rapid changes, with varying customer preferences, advancing technologies, diminishing margins, acute competition, in the midst of increase in compliances. Cock-pit monitoring and goal-based portfolio preferences by some large customers have complicated IM. The paper explores the rationale for implementing big data analytics and identifies evolving tools and technologies that are applicable in the domain. The paper also highlights few emerging areas of research in the field using both bibliometric analysis and systemic literature review techniques.
Process-Based Knowledge Organization
Authors: Bi Henry H.
Published: May 2022

To overcome some limitations of existing models that organize knowledge on the World Wide Web for online learning, this paper proposes a novel method of using graphical process models to organize knowledge on the Web and to guide the learning process. Process models can not only visually represent the logical relationships (i.e., if … then, all, at least one, and exactly one) of knowledge elements, but also display learning paths that consist of logically connected knowledge elements. This paper also presents a design of an innovative learning system that integrates process models with some existing knowledge organization models to facilitate online learning. This paper makes a useful contribution by proposing process-based knowledge organization as well as providing a visual representation of learning paths that explicitly prompt people to follow a logical process for effective learning.

Published: May 2022

High speed connectivity, smart mobile devices, social media, and rapidly-proliferating end-user applications have given rise to digital markets. This paper investigates how digital market hosts exercise control over sellers. The authors propose that findings from prior empirical studies informed by control theory in other contexts might not fully apply to digital markets, since these platforms are loosely connected to participants. The three-case study revealed that, similar to controllers in other contexts, digital market hosts do utilize a mix of formal and informal control mechanisms, yet their seller control portfolios also differ importantly from control portfolios in other contexts. This paper presents the study findings, considers questions arising from the findings, and provides a useful foundation for further research that can consider why digital markets entail challenges that give rise to novel control portfolios.

Authors: Chen Xueli , Wang Guang , Zhou Yiqiao , Li Ranran
Published: May 2022

In this article, we measure the change in the green total factor productivity of the publication printing industry in 31 provinces in China between 2013 and 2019. An additive Luenberger-Hicks-Moorsteen total factor productivity indicator and an aggregate directional distance function measure are used to decompose a green total factor productivity into technical efficiency change, scale efficiency, and technological progress change. The results show that the average annual growth rate of China’s publication printing industry’s green total factor productivity during the sample period was -2.75%, indicating that the business situation of China’s publication printing industry is not optimistic under the premise of reducing carbon emissions in recent years. Among the main driving factors of green total factor change, scale efficiency change and technical efficiency change significantly reduce the level of green total factor productivity in China’s publication printing industry.

Authors: Batra Sanskriti , Bhardwaj Punita , Dagar Mamta
Published: May 2022

Objectives:

Quick and effective hemostasis is essential for a successful laparoscopic surgery. Hence, it is of utmost importance for laparoscopic surgeons to understand the various available and emerging energy sources to tailor their use according to their properties and surgical requirement. The aim of this study was to compare LigaSure, an advanced bipolar versus conventional bipolar in total laparoscopic hysterectomy, with respect to operating time, mean blood loss, mean reduction in hemoglobin, intraoperative, and postoperative complications, and duration of prospective hospital stay.

Materials and Methods:

It was a randomized controlled study. One hundred and twenty patients scheduled for elective hysterectomy for any benign indication were randomly allocated to two groups namely, conventional bipolar group and LigaSure group. Patients with a history of ≥3 laparotomies, uterine size >20 weeks were excluded. Total laparoscopic hysterectomy with bilateral salpingectomy/salpingo oophorectomy was done in all the patients and endpoints were evaluated.

Results:

All the recruited participants (n = 120) achieved study endpoints. There was statistically significant difference in the meantime to dissect adnexal ligaments, primary and total operating time (for adnexal ligaments: Conventional bipolar-9.44 min vs. LigaSure-7.05 min; P = 0.000) (Primary: Conventional bipolar-97.03 min vs. LigaSure 74.39 min; P = 0.000) (Total: 142.5 min vs. 136.37 min P = 0.002). Mean blood loss (145 ml vs. 141.67 ml; P = 0.846), mean reduction in hemoglobin (0.802 versus 0.752; P = 0.484) and duration of postoperative stay (2.54 days vs. 2.32 days; P = 0.128) were comparable (P > 0.05). None of the participants suffered from any major complication during the surgery or in the postoperative recovery period.

Conclusion:

With an ability to effectively reduce operating time, LigaSure is a safe and efficient instrument for laparoscopic hysterectomy.

Authors: Al-Thomali Yousef
Published: May 2022

OBJECTIVE:

To evaluate the effects of silver nano particles (AgNPs) added on Nano-Bond adhesive system (NBA) and its effect on shear bond strength (SBS) of orthodontic brackets attached to enamel at different thermal cycles and cyclic loading.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

Forty extracted premolar teeth for orthodontic reasons were divided randomly into two main groups (20 teeth in each group). Group A: the brackets were bonded by NBA without additives. Group B: the brackets were bonded by NBA containing AgNPs with concentration 0.05%. Every group was further subdivided into 4 subgroups according to teeth subjected or not subjected to thermocycling and cyclic loading. SBS was tested using Lloyd universal testing machine. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used for testing the significance between the means of tested groups.

RESULTS:

Shear bond strength of Nano-Bond adhesive system with AgNPs showed significantly highest mean SBS (20.25 MPa) than Nano-Bond adhesive system without additives (15.64 MPa, P = 0.001). The SBS increased in Group B with AgNPs compared to Group A in all the conditions tested. Group A1 and B1 with zero thermal cycling and cyclic loading exhibited highest mean SBS.

CONCLUSIONS:

These results indicate addition of AgNPs significantly increased the shear bond strength of Nano-Bond adhesive system.
Combinatory electrospray and electrospinning to produce multi-layered membrane with enhanced mechanical property
Authors: Xue Yue , Zheng Zhiyuan , Shen Shuwei , Liu Guangli , Xu Ronald X.
Published: May 2022

Electrospun nanofibrous mats (ENM) have been extensively used for removal of suspended particles, cells and bacteria in membrane filtration because of its high porosity and permeability. However, microfiltration process is driven by a certain transmembrane pressure, and the filtration performance of traditional ENM are thereby hindered by its limited mechanical property. In this study, we propose a new strategy that sandwich the ENM between two layers of electrospray-deposited microparticles to enhance the mechanical properties of ENM membrane. Through a suitable thermal treatment, the microparticles stick with each other forming firm networks, while the ENM is rarely influenced. The mechanical tests show that the tensile strength and elastic modulus of the sandwich-structure composite membrane are 5 times and 7 times higher than those of the fibrous membrane, respectively. Meanwhile, the filtration tests show that the rejection rate of the composite membrane is also higher than the fibrous membrane. Our study implies the composite membrane fabricated by layer-by-layer deposition via electrospray and electrospinning has a great potential in microfiltration applications.

The sources and variation trend of ambient air pollutants, the duration of pollution process and the conditions for decontamination were analyzed in this essay based on the ambient air pollutants data, PM2.5 source analysis data and meteorological factors in Nanchong City during 2014 to 2019. The results indicated that the concentrated discharge of fireworks on New Year’s Eve was the main reason for the sharp deterioration of the ambient air quality. PM2.5 and PM10 concentrations increased significantly after fireworks were set off, and the peak value appeared at about 02:00 on the Lunar New Year’s Day, but the value of PM2.5/PM10 did not change significantly. The concentration of SO2 in gaseous pollutants was slightly affected by fireworks, while NO2, CO and O3 were not affected basically. Having been affected by fireworks, the concentrations and percentages of K+, Cl- and Mg2+ of the water-solubility ions in PM2.5 significantly increased at the 0.01 level. Meanwhile, the concentrations and percentages of the metal elements, including Cu, Pb, Mg, Al, K and Ba, significantly increased at the 0.05 level. Restricted to the topography and meteorological factors, the duration of the pollution was prolonged.

Authors: Choi Nayoon , Son Yeongkyun , Kim Tae-Hyun , Park Yuri , Hwang Yuhoon
Published: May 2022

In this study, the properties and adsorption behaviors of organoclays synthesized with two structurally different surfactants having the same carbon chain length (hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (HDTMAB) and benzyldimethylhexadecylammonium chloride (BDHAC)) were evaluated. The structural properties of the synthesized organoclays were examined using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, zeta potential analysis, X-ray diffraction, and N2 adsorption-desorption test. The modified clays with increased surfactant loadings (from 0.5 CEC to 3 CEC) were prepared to find the optimal surfactant loading. As a result, 1.5 cation exchange capacity (CEC) was found to be the optimal surfactant loading. The organoclay prepared using HDTMAB (H-Bt) exhibited the maximum adsorption capacity of 114.3 mg/g for anionic Orange G dye, which was 1.74 times higher than that of the organoclay prepared using BDHAC (B-Bt). Furthermore, in the presence of a mixture of cationic and anionic dye molecules in water, H-Bt tended to remove more of the cationic target compound than B-Bt (i.e., methylene blue (MB)), suggesting that H-Bt can serve as a more efficient adsorbent for the uptake of environmental contaminants in practical scenarios. Moreover, this study examined the effects of surfactant molecules on the structural properties of organoclays and their adsorption behaviors in the uptake of dye molecules.

Flood Routing Assessment on Narmada Basin using Muskingum Method
Authors: Shah Shreyanshi , Narulkar Sandeep M.
Published: May 2022

Flood Routing is a process of measuring a flood hydrograph at any point in a channel by interpreting it to a known hydrograph at a predetermined point in the same channel. Flood forecasting, hydraulic structure design, and sediment transport estimation all facilitate it. The Muskingum flood routing studies on Narmada reach are performed in this paper. By linear muskingum method through trial and error technique the values of K and x are derived which is 10.53hrs and 0.265 respectively. After the determination of K and x values through muskingum formulation the value of C0, C1 and C2 is derived i.e. -0.277983243, 0.399347876 and 0.878635367 respectively. The above values lead to the calculation of routed outflow of year 2020, 2012, and 2013. Separate flood occurrences of the year 2020, 2012 and 2013 are routed through the Narmada from Hoshangabad to Handia. In the year 2012, 2013 the contributions of intermediary zones to the flow are taken into account by assuming tributaries between the measurement sites. According to flood route computations, the computed and observed hydrographs at Handia correspond nicely. The rainfall is simulated for the Narmada River Basin's Hoshangabad-Handia Watershed. According to the findings, the value of R2 can be considered reasonably adequate for calculating a watershed rainfall. The R2 value was 0.8675, indicating that the observed and simulated values were strongly correlated.
“La sociedad de la información y sus múltiples brechas, notorias divisiones”
Authors: Sarria Jorge Mauricio Escobar
Published: May 2022

El artículo presenta un panorama descriptivo, analítico y crítico sobre la diversidad de nociones que configuran la expansión conceptual de la llamada Sociedad de la Información (SI) como un paradigma, discurso y modo de desarrollo en las últimas décadas. Se caracteriza la tendencia teórica que determina una forma de organización social y económica, que dimensiona múltiples mutaciones donde el acceso (brecha divisoria), el capital social, el empoderamiento y la apropiación social de las TIC evidencia nuevas formas de acceder a los circuitos de poder, representación e imaginarios del conocimiento. Una de las consideraciones que son punto de partida, es que la sociedad de la información y el conocimiento es más que un proyecto definido, un sueño o una aspiración, con un nuevo entorno de relaciones humanas, de un tránsito de sociedades postindustriales y sociedades informatizadas donde se pone en juego las redes de intercambio y el sentido de las relaciones mediadas por artefactos.  Ahora bien, el paradigma de la SI implica como lo menciona Matterlart, una quíntuple mutación: de una economía de la producción a los servicios, la configuración de una nueva estructura del trabajo, los cambios de una clase profesional a experticias técnicas, la centralidad del conocimiento teórico como fuente de la innovación, la formulación de políticas públicas para el nuevo contexto, terminando con la tecnología intelectual para la toma de decisiones. Estamos inmersos en una sociedad/vida “domiciliada”, donde nuestro perfil y anonimato desaparece para  entrar en juego con la maraña de artilugios comerciales, propagandísticos e incluso, informacionales.

Ananda School, which is located in Bogor City, is a school that is very active in the habit of reading its students. This school has a fairly complete library with quality books, but unfortunately, the system of borrowing and returning books is still conventional by recording transactions on many books. This causes problems in the process of searching for books and transactions that have occurred so that they are less effective and efficient in daily activities. The design of the Book Borrowing and Returning Information System is a solution to overcome the problems that occur by using the Rapid Application Development model in the software development method. The data collection process uses the interview method, observations by paying attention to the system that is currently running, and several examples of sites related to information systems for borrowing and returning books, and literacy are also used as reference materials. The Information System for Borrowing and Returning Books at this school has also made it much better with the various kinds of databases used and the reports that are the output of this information system.

Fintech Credit in Kenya: The Case for Strategic Regulation
Authors:   Visiting Lecturer, University of Eldoret, School of Business and Management Science, Eldoret, Kenya, Namusonge Dr. Arnold Wanjala
Published: May 2022

The study sought to present the case for strategic regulation in the Fintech Sector, specifically in digital credit, with reference to Kenya. This was based on the concern that the proposed regulation on Fintech Credit by the Kenyan Parliament and the Government of Kenya does not factor in the sustainability aspects of Fintech Credit businesses. The study is anchored on the Public Interest Theory, the Private Interest Theory, and the Economic Theory of Regulation. The study adopted desk research, which depended on the review and examination of primary data sources such as legislation, government policy documents, acts of parliament, and reports. The study sought to achieve its objectives by evaluating the current laws and regulations affecting mobile lending in Kenya. It then relied on a comparison with two jurisdictions, specifically India and USA, where one has an existing mobile lending regulatory framework, and the other has a general regulatory framework respectively. It was established that the proposed regulations have a bias toward consumer protection and do not focus on business sustainability. The study, therefore, concluded that one single regulatory framework or laws will be insufficient for a sector where the laws in place will always be one step behind innovation in Fintech credit, and observed the need for a strategic approach to the regulation of Fintech credit in Kenya. It was recommended that, Fintech credit regulation in Kenya ought to incorporate a degree of flexibility. This flexibility is envisaged by Regtech, which takes care of new product-specific regulations. Secondly, regulators in Kenya should engage in Fintech Credit promotion by creating regulatory sandboxes. Sandboxes allow innovators to test their concepts in a deregulated environment that the rest of the market does not enjoy.

Published: May 2022

For characterization of soils, soils were collected from Jorhat and a Golaghat district during 2016-2017under different land uses systems i.e. bamboo, sugarcane, tea and rice. Results indicated that surface soils of different land use systems varied from greyish brown (10YR 5/2) to brownish yellow (10YR 6/8).The structure was found predominantly sub-angular blocky and loam to clay loam in texture. The soil soils of all horizons of bamboo, tea plantation and rice were extremely acidic (pH <4.5) except sugarcane horizons (strongly acidic pH 5.0-5.50).Soil cation exchange capacity(CEC) in bamboo, sugarcane, tea plantation and rice varied from 6.20 to 7.29 cmol (p+)/kg, 8.19 to 9.92 cmol (p+)/kg, 5.54 to 6.88 cmol (p+)/kg, and 6.99 to7.58 cmol (p+)/kg, respectively due to variation in clay content. Sugarcane and tea plantation soils showed clay alleviation with more than 1.2 times in sub-surface horizon over surface horizon with low base saturation <35%to place them in the Ultisol and classified as fine-loamy, mixed, hyperthermic family of Typic Hapludults.In bamboo plantation, the soil had cambic horizon with base saturation <35%and classified as coarse loamy, mixed, hyperthermic family of Typic Dystrudepts, whereas, in case of rice soil, the gleyed sub-surface horizon was observed with base saturation <35% and classified as loamy, mixed, hyperthermic, Typic Endoaquepts.The correlation coefficient (r) among physico-chemical of soil properties in profiles under different land use systems in upper Brahmaputra valley of Assam showed organic carbon was positively and significantly correlated with base saturation. The pH showed positive and significant correlation with CEC and clay content.
