EFFECTIVE ORGANIZATION OF WASTE USE OF AGRICULTURAL ENTERPRISES IN THE FORMATION OF ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY
Authors: KIRILENKO Ivan , TOKARCHUK Dina
Published: October 2020

The article substantiates that the effective use of organic waste for further processing today is a prerequisite for the development of agricultural enterprises, their competitive advantages and ensuring energy and environmental security. The basic principles of enterprise waste disposal are identified, which include: maximum use of on-farm resources, ensuring the economic efficiency of the technologies used, and compliance with veterinary and sanitary requirements. The most common methods for processing organic waste of agricultural enterprises, which include energy and non-energy areas, are investigated. The waste from the plant growing industry can be used for energy purposes in two directions: direct burning in order to obtain heat and electric energy, as well as for the production of solid biofuels. Livestock waste can be used to produce another type of biofuel – biogas. The non-energy direction of the use of organic waste from agricultural enterprises provides the production of secondary products (pulp, paper, cardboard), feed, bedding, compost. It is substantiated that the directions of use of crop waste, which is now preferred by agricultural enterprises, are mainly non-energy (like roughage, litter, as fertilizers) and ineffective (such feed is of little value for highly productive animals, enterprises do not comply with the technology of smelling residues, which minimizes positive effect). Various methods of processing waste products (secondary products) of the livestock industry are analyzed: composting, vermicomposting, composting using gumivit, infusion, and biogas production. A comparison of the economic efficiency of traditional and bioenergy manure utilization at a conditional enterprise is made. It is proved that modern methods of manure utilization with biogas production have advantages because they have an environmental effect, can provide energy autonomy due to the refusal to purchase fuel, electricity, it is possible to increase the efficiency of activities through the sale or own use of biological fertilizers, and the sale of other by-products.

Authors: Trawczyński Cezary
Published: October 2020

W latach 2018 – 2019 przeprowadzono na glebie lekkiej badania polowe nad określeniem wpływu dolistnego dokarmiania roślin ziemniaka biostymulatorami: Krzemian (preparat krzemowy), Naturamin Plus i Naturamin WSP (preparaty aminokwasowe) na plon i jakość bulw ziemniaka. W każdym roku wykonywano dwa zabiegi dolistnego dokarmiania w fazach BBCH 19 i 39 (preparatami Naturamin Plus i Naturamin WSP) oraz 39 i 70 (preparatem Krzemian). Kontrolę stanowił obiekt bez dolistnego dokarmiania i stosowania wody. Nawożenie organiczne stanowiły przyorywane każdego roku: słoma z pszenżyta ozimego i zielona masa międzyplonu z gorczycy białej. Nawożenie mineralne stosowano w dawkach: 100 kg·ha-1 N, 26,2 kg·ha-1 P i 99,6 kg·ha-1 K. Pod wpływem zastosowanych preparatów uzyskano w badaniach zbliżony przyrost plonu bulw, większy o 17,3% w porównaniu do kontroli. Większy przyrost plonu bulw pod wpływem preparatów uzyskano w 2018 roku, o mniejszym niedoborze opadów i wyższej temperaturze powietrza, niż w 2019 roku. Pod wpływem zastosowanych preparatów uzyskano istotny wzrost zawartości skrobi, suchej masy i witaminy C w bulwach, a preparat Krzemian spowodował obniżenie poziomu azotanów (V) w bulwach w porównaniu do obiektu kontrolnego.

Tập lợi ích cao (TLIC) là một vấn đề quan trọng trong khai phá dữ liệu, xem xét các lợi ích của các mục (chẳng hạn như lợi nhuận và lãi suất) được khám phá từ cơ sở dữ liệu (CSDL) giao dịch hỗ trợ cho việc kinh doanh của các đơn vị. Bài báo trình bày một phương pháp khai thác tập lợi ích cao có lợi nhuận âm trên CSDL phân tán dọc. Việc khai thác tập lợi ích cao đã được nghiên cứu và công bố rộng rãi trong những năm gần đây. Có nhiều thuật toán khai thác các tập lợi ích cao (TLIC) bằng cách cắt tỉa các ứng cử viên dựa trên các giá trị lợi ích và dựa trên các giá trị sử dụng có trọng số giao dịch. Các thuật toán này đều hướng tới mục đích làm giảm không gian tìm kiếm. Trong bài báo này, chúng tôi đề xuất một phương pháp khai thác tập lợi ích cao có lợi nhuận âm (TLIC-TSA) từ CSDL phân tán dọc. Phương pháp này không tích hợp CSDL từ CSDL cục bộ của các bên tham gia để hình thành CSDL tập trung và chỉ thực hiện việc quét các CSDL mỗi bên tham gia một lần. Các thí nghiệm cho thấy thời gian chạy của phương pháp này hiệu quả hơn so với khai thác trên cơ sở dữ liệu tập trung.
Optoelectronic Properties of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons of Various Sizes and Shapes: A DFT Study
Authors: Rakhi Ramachandran , Suresh Cherumuttathu H
Published: October 2020

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) can be considered as graphene nanoflakes in which the edges are hydrogenated. Zigzag and armchair-edged PAHs possessing circular, parallelogram, rectangular and triangular shapes have been studied using M06L/6-31+G(d) level of density functional theory (DFT). Molecular electrostatic potential (MESP) analysis of the PAHs is done to characterize their electron distribution while the time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT) analysis was used for the absorption spectral analysis. MESP analysis clearly showed Clar’s sextet like electronic arrangement in armchair-edged systems whereas zigzag-edged ones showed significant electron localization towards the edges. TD-DFT analysis casts light upon the absorption features of these systems, which followed a linear trends in absorption maximum (lmax) for most of the armchair-edged systems with respect to the number of π-electrons. MESP analysis on the electron rich and electron deficient features of PAH systems led to the design of donor-spacer-acceptor type PAH-π-PAH systems (D-π-A systems) wherein a conjugated diene moiety functions as the π-spacer. Though these systems behaved weakly as D-π-A systems, with the introduction of electron donating functional group NMe2 on one PAH and electron withdrawing group COOH on the other led to the formation of strong D-π-A systems.  The MESP features, frontier molecular orbital (FMO) distribution, and absorption spectral features supported their strong D-π-A character. Among the different shapes studied, the rectangular PAH moiety showed the most efficient tuning of HOMO-LUMO gap. The optical and electronic data of PAH, PAH-π-PAH and functionalized PAH-π-PAH systems shed light upon possible tuning of their optoelectronic properties for practical applications.

Authors: Kusnatalia Kusnatalia , Fitriani Arifah Devi , Amirah Asriwati
Published: October 2020

The World Health Organization (WHO) infant mortality rate is the first indicator in determining a child's health status, 3.6 million of the 120 million newborns experience asphyxia, and nearly 1 million babies die. Meanwhile, the prevalence of patients treated at the NICU at the Datu Beru Takengon Hospital from 2016 to 2019 continues to decline every year. The purpose of this study was to determine and analyze the effect of technical competence, efficiency and patient safety on patient family satisfaction. The research design used an analytic survey with a cross-sectional design. The data that had been collected were processed using univariate and bivariate and multivariate analysis. The population of all parents of babies who were treated in the NICU Care Room at Datu Beru Takengon Hospital was 329 people. The sampling technique used accidental sampling. The number of samples that will be studied is 67 people. The results of the research on technical competence variables obtained p-value = 0,000, efficiency 0,000, and patient safety 0,000 <α 0.05, meaning that there is an influence between technical competence, efficiency and patient safety on family satisfaction, from the results of multivariate analysis, the most influential variables are found. in this study is the technical competency variable with an Exp B value of 1.003. The conclusion is that there is an influence between technical competence, efficiency and patient safety while the multivariate analysis shows that the most dominant factor is the variable of technical competence on family satisfaction. It is recommended that the hospital be able to improve the technical competence of nurses in the NICU room by holding training and workshops both internal and external training.
The Study of Nursing During the Postpartum Period from the Perspective of Aceh Culture in Gampong Asan Kareung, Lhokseumawe City
Authors: Linar Cut , Badiran Muhammad , Hanum Rina
Published: October 2020

Postpartum care is a treatment for mothers who are about to give birth or have just given birth so that their reproductive organs return to normal. Madeung is a medical technique commonly used by Acehnese women who have just finished giving birt. The purpose of this study was to explore the study of postpartum care (madeueng) from the perspective of Aceh culture in the village of Kareung Asan, the city of Lhoekseumawe. This type of research is descriptive qualitative with the approach used by researchers in this study is the ethnographic approach. The characteristics of the main informants were postpartum mothers who carried out the madeung process, while the triangulation informants were family and health workers (midwives). The results made, but the factors that motivated parents to carry out the madeng process are sometimes still considered negative. Informants are influenced by experienced users of parents, which results in them imitating negative habit patterns and perceiving some processes as commonplace. Parents often provide user experiences to parents, who live in them imitating negative habit patterns and perceiving some processes that are created as mater, of course. Parents often provide experiences about madeung and all informants have an adequate level of process. It is recommended that mothers who have just given birth and are about to undergo the madeung ritual to have their own firmness in determining their choices regarding personal health, especially regarding the anxiety of abstinence and advice that must be taken.

ON A CLASS OF SADDLE POINT PROBLEMS AND CONVERGENCE RESULTS
Authors: Cojocaru Mariana Chivu , Matei Andaluzia
Published: October 2020

We consider an abstract mixed variational problem consisting of two inequalities. The ﬁrst one is governed
by a functional φ, possibly non-diﬀerentiable. The second inequality is governed by a nonlinear term depending on a non negative
parameter ǫ. We study the existence and the uniqueness of the solution by means of the saddle point theory. In addition to existence
and uniqueness results, we deliver convergence results for ǫ → 0. Finally, we illustrate the abstract results by means of two examples
arising from contact mechanics.

Description of Anoplophora fanjingensis sp. n. (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, Lamiinae) from southwest China
Authors: Yang Shulin , Yang Weicheng , Tian Yu
Published: October 2020

Anoplophora Hope, 1839 is a genus including more than 40 species occurring in Asia. Most species of this genus have beautiful colours on the elytra and are of great interest to insect collectors. Due to their developing in and consuming wood in the larval stage, species in this genus could be economically important, such as A. glabripennis, an introduced species to North America.

We described Anoplophora fanjingensis sp. n., based on specimens from Mount Fanjing (also Fanjingshan), Jiankou County, Guizhou, China. The new species is characterised by its elytra with metallic iridescent sheen and the non-annulated antennae. Habitus of two similar species, Anoplophora chiangi and Anoplophora leechi, are also presented.
Logiques de l’égalité
Authors: Jouanjan Olivier
Published: October 2020

La présente contribution propose une analyse théorique de la structure normative de l’égalité juridique qui met à jour les logiques inhérentes à ce concept. On découvre trois logiques fondamentales : celles de l’universalité, de la proportionnalité et de la comparaison. Une telle analyse nous impose de clarifier notre langage et notamment l’usage des mots d’identité et différence de traitements, de similitudes et dissimilitudes des situations afin de les distinguer clairement de ce qu’égalité veut dire. De même, on termine par quelques remarques critiques quant aux usages que l’on fait des notions de discrimination et non-discrimination. Cette démarche purement théorique et analytique pourrait aider à rationaliser davantage jurisprudences et doctrines de l’égalité juridique.

Lactobacillus plantarum Shinshu N-07 (N07) and Lactobacillus curvatus #4G2 (#4G2) were isolated from fermented Brassica rapa L. and selected as promising probiotics with anti-adiposity activities based on in vitro assays. The anti-adiposity effects of these two strains were investigated using a diet-induced obesity animal model. Epididymal adipose tissue weight and adipocyte area were significantly lower and serum triglycerides and glucose tended to be lower in mice fed the high-fat diet supplemented with N07 compared with those fed the unsupplemented high-fat diet. Strain N07 suppressed hepatic steatosis, with accompanying downregulation of lipogenic genes in the liver. Expression of inflammatory cytokines and macrophage infiltration markers tended to be suppressed by N07 supplementation. Upregulation of uncoupling protein-1 in epididymal adipose tissue by N07 suggested that the transformation of white adipose tissue to brown might have been induced. Intestinal microbiota analysis revealed that a decrease in abundance of family S24-7 (phylum Bacteroidetes) following ingestion of the high-fat diet was partly recovered by supplementation with N07. Changes in those parameters were not observed in mice fed the high-fat diet supplemented with strain #4G2, suggesting strain specificities. Thus, N07 is a potential probiotic strain that could be used to develop functional foods that attenuate visceral fat accumulation after an appropriate human intervention trial.
Phylogenetic relationship within Cumacea (Crustacea: Peracarida) and genetic variability of two Antarctic species of the family Leuconidae
Authors: Rehm Peter , Thatje Sven , Leese Florian , Held Christoph
Published: October 2020

Phylogenetic hypotheses for the peracarid order Cumacea are scarce and have not provided a solution to the full extent. In the present study, a fragment of the mitochondrial 16S rDNA was used to erect a phylogenetic hypothesis for three cumacean families, Diastylidae, Bodotriidae and Leuconidae, along with intra-family relationships of the latter. The Cumacea resolved monophyletic with tanaids and isopods as outgroup taxa. The Diastylidae were the only family with good support for monophyly. The genus Leucon resolved paraphyletic, whereas the subgenus Crymoleucon was monophyletic. Furthermore, the genetic structure was analysed for two leuconid species, Leucon antarcticus Zimmer, 1907 and L. intermedius Mühlenhardt-Siegel, 1996, from the Weddell Sea and the Ross Sea. The two species showed different patterns of intraspecific genetic variability. In contrast to L. intermedius, a bimodal distribution of pairwise genetic distances was observed for L. antarcticus, which is correlated with geographical and depth distributions between the Ross Sea and the Weddell Sea. Although a clear evaluation of cryptic speciation in these species requires additional work on more specimens from more geographic regions and broader depth ranges, differences shown in the sequences of 16S rDNA can only be explained by genetic separation of populations between the Weddell Sea and the Ross Sea for an extended period of time.
Seasonal dynamics of occurrence and group size of three species of cetaceans (Delphinidae and Phocoenidae) on the southwestern coast of the Black Sea
Authors: Uluduz Nastassia , Yanchukov Alexey , Sözen Mustafa
Published: October 2020

The spatial and temporal occurrence of cetaceans in the Black Sea and particularly along its southwestern coastline is poorly studied. Based on a total of 609 encounters, we present the analysis of monthly dynamics of (1) the numbers of cetacean sightings and (2) their group size for all three Black Sea cetacean species: the bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus), the short-beaked common dolphin (Delphinus delphis) and the harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) over a continuous period of 29 months (January 2018 - May 2020) from two fixed coastal observation points near the city of Zonguldak, Turkey. Seasonal fluctuations were found in the occurrence of all three species, with peaks in April-May (spring). Similarly, the largest groups of P. phocoena and T. truncatus were recorded in the late spring and early summer period, while D. delphis had a peak in July (summer). In case of the harbour porpoise, we speculate that these variations can be explained by the annual migrations from the northwestern to southern waters of the Black Sea, while the seasonal dynamics of the two Delphinidae species might depend on fish prey availability. While our data were collected locally, the results provide better insight into the ecology of cetaceans within the entire Black Sea.

Published: October 2020

Flooding has become one of the most rapidly growing types of natural disaster that has spread around the globe. It is is one of the major natural hazards in many countries and mostly affected in the low-lying or flood prone areas. In order to minimize loss of life and economic losses, a detailed and comprehensive decision making tool is necessary for both flood control planning and emergency service operations. In this paper, we demonstrate our research design for mobile based decision support of Flood Early Warning System (FEWS). We outlined four research objectives. Firstly, critical criteria for flood risk assessment will be identified and the second step will involve develop measurement model for relative flood risk using Geographic Information System (GIS), Multi Attribute Decision Making (MADM) and data mining technique. In the third objectives, the holistic architectural design is develop by incorporating the communication technology and other related ICT requirements for the mobile decision support. The fourth objective is to validate the mathematical model and architectural design. Case study approach is chosen in order to understand the flood event and validate the decision support model. Following well-defined procedures, flood maps were drawn based on the data collected from expert responses to a questionnaire, the field survey, satellite images, and documents from flood management agencies. It is anticipates that by integrating of mathematical model, GIS and mobile application in flood risk assessment could provide useful detailed information for flood risk management, evacuation, communication. The decision support design from this study is perhaps to improve the warning system and contribute to reduction of casualties.

Most postgraduate students intend to complete their study successfully. Yet, they might face fear of failure or fear of facing examiners during thevivasession.A viva session has been noted to be mysterious, unpredictable, and potentially frightening to somestudents, particularly to students whose English is their second language.Some of these students might consider themselves to have  low ability in expressing their words thus lacking in confidence to facean oral assessment.These students, however, can prepare well for a viva session by rereading their thesis, arranging for a mockviva, and practicing debating their work with a senior student. This paper attempts to present a new way of viva preparation by means of a virtual viva simulator (V2Sim). This V2Sim is based on a virtual reality approach that usesan avatar as an examiner. This study aims to design and developa V2Sim to providearepeatablecoaching for a viva session at no cost. The implementation ofthe V2Sim involved three phases: identification of research problem, design and development, and evaluation. The study aspires to examine the experience of postgraduate students using the new technique. For this purpose, a combination of interviews and an experimental method were adopted to evaluate the V2Sim coachingamong 30 PhD students. Interpretive outcomes from this study suggest that the V2Sim coachingis a novel tool for assessing learning outcomes for a viva voce session and for improving students’ skills. Based on these findings, implications for the adoption of V2Sim coachingas an assessment method are discussed, among which the improvement of the experience of viva-voce session in the future.

A Conceptual Model of Mobile Augmented Reality for Hearing Impaired Museum Visitors’ Engagement
Authors: Baker Esraa Jaffar , Abu Bakar Juliana Aida , Zulkifli Abdul Nasir
Published: October 2020

Many studies have begun to consider how to ensure a pleasant experience during visits to cultural heritage sites and museums. Although, when considering the populace of the visitors to these sites, the hearing impaired (HI) visitors which made up of a smaller percentage, have not been in the literature limelight as much as the normal hearing visitors. Thus, the hearing impaired tends to endure certain unpalatable experiences leading to dissatisfaction of their visits. Literature has shown that Mobile Augmented Reality (MAR) can improve the experiences of visitors to the museum in terms of engagement, enjoyment and learning. This is evident in a number of articles tailored towards normal hearing visitors. However, a recent study has taken into consideration the hearing impaired visitors by identifying the engagement elements of MAR for the HI museum visitors. The identified elements include; aesthetics, interaction, interest, usability, satisfaction, motivation, curiosity, enjoyment, perceived control, self-efficacy, and focused attention. This article thus takes a step further by introducing the MAR for the HI museum visitors’ engagement (MARHIME) conceptual model. These elements are derived from a review of literature which has been done comprehensively and are validated by a panel of experts. Altogether eleven elements went through the expert review process and only six elements were validated to be used for the construction of the MARHIME model. This article also further grounds the justification of these selected six elements in relation to engagement. Future work will include the development of the MARHIME prototype which will be used to validate the model among the hearing impaired visitors at a museum.

An emergency can happen anywhere and anytime, especially in developing countries with a high potential for emergencies, such as Eastern European countries as well as Indonesia. This study aimed to find out the quality of PSC 119 Si Slamet as a prehospital emergency service innovation. The data collection in this study was carried out in a location, namely, Batang Regency, Indonesia, in May–June 2018. The qualitative data collection methods used in this study are in-depth interviews and document reviews. This study was using Service Quality (Servqual) questionnaire. The results show that PSC 119 Si Slamet provides easy access to emergency services to the community 24 hours a day and 7 days a week by simply calling 119 numbers, sending messages via SMS and WhatsApp, or using the Android-based application, with a maximum response time target of 10 minutes. Batang is one of the regencies (rural area) in Central Java province, located on the main coastline, with a hilly geographic condition with many derivatives, climbs, and sharp curves, which is one of the causes of the high number of traffic accidents in the area. This emergency care information systems, with Android-based application, was aimed at improving the quality of services in the health sector, especially emergency services. This service is of good quality as seen from the tangible, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy dimensions. However, in the implementation, the socialization aspect is not the best to some people. The recommendation given was the need to increase the PSC 119 socialization of Si Slamet not only regionally but also internationally to be massive, especially in developing countries.
Une identité en question
Authors: Oppizzi Martino
Published: October 2020

Entre la fin du xve et le début du xvie siècle, les politiques de conversion forcée imposées par les rois catholiques engendrèrent une vague d’émigration juive à partir de la péninsule ibérique. La dispersion, l’installation dans de nouvelles villes et l’intégration dans de contextes inédits imposa à ces Juifs le défi de la conservation d’une identité hispano-portugaise, mais impliqua aussi sa renégociation. Les cas de Livourne et de Tunis, deux villes maritimes dont le profil fut modifié par l’arrivée des juifs ibériques, permettent d’aborder depuis une perspective comparative les enjeux culturels et sociaux liés à la transmission du passé au sein de la diaspora séfarade.

Or, ces mêmes artistes s’engagent massivement dans la guerre d’Espagne à partir de 1936 depuis la capitale française. En s’appuyant particulièrement sur les parcours des artistes Pablo Picasso et Ignacio Zuloaga, cet article propose de suivre la transformation des Espagnols, venus volontairement à Paris pour des raisons artistiques, en acteurs politisés à partir de 1936, et de leurs œuvres en symboles de l’identité hispanique défendue par chaque camp durant le conflit espagnol.
Sous la bannière de la science du folklore
Authors: Gómez-García Plata Mercedes
Published: October 2020

A. Machado y Álvarez, fils du naturaliste A. Machado y Núñez et petit-neveu de A. Durán, le compilateur du Romancero general, entend institutionnaliser en Espagne le folklore scientifique selon le paradigme de l’école anthropologique britannique. Son héritage intellectuel et familial, ainsi que ses convictions républicaines fédéralistes et son inquiétude pour régénérer la vie intellectuelle espagnole le conduisent à adapter ce modèle exogène à la réalité sociale espagnole et à concevoir le folklore comme un outil scientifique capable d’influer sur la construction de l’imaginaire national. Cependant, son échec à mener à bien cette institutionnalisation, à la fin de la première décennie de la Restauration monarchique, est révélateur des tensions et des rapports de force qui se jouent, à ce moment-là, dans la construction de l’imaginaire national en Espagne, tiraillée entre différents styles antagonistes.
Le théâtre basque contemporain comme vecteur d’identité
Authors: Ruiz Cano Marina
Published: October 2020

La production dramatique en Euskadi est imprégnée de symboles qui mettent en évidence la particularité de l’identité basque. La poésie engagée du début du xxe siècle (Lauaxeta, Lizardi, Aresti, Blas de Otero) est à l’origine de la plupart de ces images et motifs, mais de nombreuses idées appartiennent plutôt à l’idéologie nationaliste basque. À partir de celle-ci, nous pouvons établir un parallélisme entre l’évolution politique des nationalistes et les tendances de la scène basque. C’est ainsi que la culture locale, très enracinée dans ses paysages et ses traditions et qui caractérisait le premier Nouveau théâtre basque, accueille progressivement des influences extérieures. Or, ce contact n’implique point l’écroulement de l’essence de l’identité basque. Au contraire, il permet d’explorer les éléments communs à d’autres cultures.

En partant de la configuration hétéronormative qui existe dans l’imaginaire collectif à propos de la sexualité, ce travail a pour vocation de réfléchir sur la manière dont celle-ci affecte le processus de lecture poétique en excluant la possibilité d’autre(s) manière(s) de lire qui déboucheraient sur des messages poétiques beaucoup plus pluralistes et subversifs que les messages portés par les étiquettes littéraires conventionnelles. Avec cet objectif nous allons procéder à une analyse de réception poétique des différents ouvrages du début du siècle de la poésie galicienne contemporaine à caractère érotique dans une perspective de genre féministe et queer.
Le retornado dans le discours et les politiques des gouvernements de Rafael Correa (2007-2017)
Authors: Bernal Amanda
Published: October 2020

À partir de la crise économique, politique et sociale de la fin des années 1990, l’Équateur connaît un mouvement d’émigration massive qui marquera durablement l’imaginaire collectif. Rafael Correa s’est emparé de cette question migratoire dès sa campagne présidentielle, en faisant de cette « tragédie nationale » une véritable ressource politique. Il continuera à l’exploiter au cours de ses mandats, puisqu’il fera de la question migratoire l’« étendard » de sa Révolution Citoyenne. C’est sur ce tournant institutionnel dans la façon dont l’État équatorien pense son lien à la diaspora que je me pencherai, en essayant de faire ressortir les limites de ces politiques présentées comme novatrices.
Productions littéraires connectées : Claudia Apablaza, Tálata Rodríguez, Ana Laura Caruso, Ileana Elordi
Authors: Schmitter Gianna
Published: October 2020

L’article considère trois cas d’introduction d’internet dans le livre – Diario de las especies (2008) de Claudia Apablaza, Oro (2015) d’Ileana Elordi et Red social (2011) d’Ana Laura Caruso – et un cas d’expansion de la littérature vers internet, avec le recueil de poèmes et ses vidéoclips Primera línea de fuego (2013) de Tálata Rodríguez, afin de montrer comment ces écrivaines travaillent l’imaginaire collectif technologique. Dans le cas d’Apablaza et Elordi, il s’agit d’une utilisation de l’esthétique et de la logique, propres à internet, d’une évocation thématique et subjective du monde virtuel et d’un jeu avec le potentiel fictif de l’écriture de soi sur la toile. Caruso, quant à elle, capte les discours et habitudes sur Facebook en reproduisant les propos d’internautes, renforçant ainsi les aprioris et l’imaginaire du lecteur sur ce réseau social. Rodríguez se sert fortement de l’imaginaire rock, ou plutôt rolinga, mais aussi de l’esthétique MTV dans ses vidéopoèmes publiés sur YouTube.
A Fuzzy Logic-Based Model for Classifying Software Modules in Order to Achieve Dependable Software
Authors: Chatterjee Subhashis , Maji Bappa
Published: October 2020

In this study, a fuzzy logic-based framework has been proposed to predict the situation of the software modules in the earlier phases of software lifecycle. The proposed model has taken into account domain experts' opinions and the available state of different software metrics as inputs. On the basis of dependability measures of software, different modules have been ranked earlier in the development process. Effect of the modules on the reliability, security, and availability of software has been judged by the proposed technique based on Mahalanobis distance metric. The study of software dependability in early phase assists the software developers to take corrective actions, which leads to minimize the testing efforts as well as development time. The proposed technique has been implemented on the promise software engineering repository data set. Performance of the proposed methodology is promising in identifying the fault-prone software modules. The result has also been compared with some known methodologies.
Smart Home in Private Households

Published: October 2020

The growing digital transformation creates new ways of living. In recent years, intelligent smart homes (SHs) have increased rapidly. The article gives a status quo overview of the SH literature with regard to the interactions between SHs and their end-users and structures the literature into three categories (SH systems, SH application areas, and SH end-users) and 15 corresponding concepts. The analysis implies that SH is a broad and relevant research topic with different subjects, research gaps, and emerging benefits but also with challenges for all the players in the SH market. SH success depends on many critical success factors (CSF), such as acceptance of usability or interface design. Implications for research and practice to meet these challenges are presented. Several future research directions are suggested.
A New Halogen-Free Parylene for High Performance and Reliability of Microelectronics in Harsh Environments
Authors: Kumar Rakesh , Ke Frank , England Dustin , Summers Angie , Young Lamar
Published: October 2020

The rapid growth and adoption of microelectronics around the world has resulted in an increased awareness of potential environmental issues related to their use and disposal. Halogens, which have had various uses in microelectronics over the years, are known to emit toxic and corrosive gases during the disposal of electronic waste. Many organizations have applied pressure to the electronics industry to eliminate halogens completely (e.g., fluorine, chlorine, and bromine) from their products. Among the various efforts toward environmentally friendly products, making electronics completely halogen-free has gained significant attention, particularly in Asia and Europe. This initiative even impacts conformal coatings worldwide, on which most electronics rely for their long-term protection, reliability, and high performance against water and other corrosive harsh environments. Among the various coating options, the parylene family of conformal coatings offers beneficial properties to the microelectronics, improved over many properties offered by common epoxies, acrylics, urethanes, and silicones. Although parylene N is the only commercially available parylene that does not contain any halogens, its barrier performance against moisture and other corrosive chemicals is not quite as robust as the other parylenes. To meet the industry’s current and future requirements, a new halogen-free parylene, ParyFree®, has been developed. This study introduces a new parylene type to the microelectronics industry and shares the characterization and qualification results of ParyFree® parylene conformal coating for the protection, reliability, and robust performance of microelectronics. Testing on the new coating includes IPX water resistance, corrosion resistance, and qualification per IPC-CC-830B.
Brill-Noether generality of binary curves
Authors: He Xiang
Published: October 2020

We show that the space
$G^r_{\underline d}(X)$
of linear series of certain multi-degree

$\underline d=(d_1,d_2)$
(including the balanced ones) and rank r on a general genus-g binary curve X has dimension

$\rho _{g,r,d}=g-(r+1)(g-d+r)$
if nonempty, where

$d=d_1+d_2$
. This generalizes Caporaso’s result from the case

$r\leq 2$
to arbitrary rank, and shows that the space of Osserman-limit linear series on a general binary curve has the expected dimension, which was known for

$r\leq 2$
. In addition, we show that the space

$G^r_{\underline d}(X)$
is still of expected dimension after imposing certain ramification conditions with respect to a sequence of increasing effective divisors supported on two general points

$P_i\in Z_i$
, where

$i=1,2$
and

$Z_1,Z_2$
are the two components of X. Our result also has potential application to the lifting problem of divisors on graphs to divisors on algebraic curves.
