Published: August 2022

Teknologi manajemen data yang terus berkembang telah mendorong popularitas not only structured query language (NoSQL) berorientasi dokumen menjadi salah satu model data yang paling banyak digunakan saat ini. Selain popularitas tersebut, terdapat keunggulan menarik, yaitu kemampuannya menawarkan fleksibilitas penyimpanan data dalam berbagai bentuk dan ukuran, baik untuk data terstruktur maupun tidak terstruktur. Namun, fleksibilitas model data tersebut menjadi tantangan tersendiri karena dapat berdampak pada pembentukan skema yang lebih kompleks jika tidak mempertimbangkan pola desain yang sesuai dengan kebutuhan. Studi ini bertujuan untuk melakukan pemodelan data relasional pada NoSQL berorientasi dokumen pada tingkat konseptual, logis, dan fisik. Rancangan tingkat konseptual dibentuk berdasarkan proses, aturan, dan kebutuhan bisnis. Sementara itu, rancangan tingkat logis dan fisik dibentuk berdasarkan pola desain extended reference dan computed yang ditentukan dari beban kerja operasi. Rancangan model data relasional pada NoSQL berorientasi dokumen berhasil dibentuk menggunakan entity relationship diagram (ERD), dengan notasi Chen untuk tingkat konseptual dan CRD baik untuk tingkat logis maupun fisik. Fokus rancangan tingkat konseptual terletak pada representasi entitas, atribut, dan relasi. Berbeda dengan tingkat konseptual yang cenderung abstrak, fokus rancangan tingkat logis terletak pada representasi skema collection (embedded dan reference), termasuk pola desain yang dipengaruhi oleh pembentukan relasi. Selanjutnya, fokus rancangan tingkat fisik adalah merepresentasikan skema ke dalam bentuk yang lebih konkret. Rancangan tingkat fisik hampir sama dengan tingkat logis. Perbedaannya hanya terletak pada penambahan detail untuk tipe data dan struktur data. Evaluasi rancangan model data dilakukan menggunakan daftar tilik pemeriksaan untuk setiap tingkatan. Studi ini berkontribusi untuk merancang model data dengan keunggulan kinerja membaca yang lebih baik (read-intensive) karena tidak perlu melakukan operasi gabungan (join) antar-collection yang memiliki relasi dan tidak perlu melakukan pengulangan proses komputasi untuk atribut turunan.

Published: August 2022

The increasing number of wireless communication applications has led to spectrum scarcity problems. On the other hand, the current system in allocating the spectrum frequency is inefficient. To mitigate this issue, a cognitive radio (CR) system is proposed. CR is a smart radio that is able to sense the environment, locate the spectrum holes, and adapt its transmission parameter to exploit the existing spectrum holes. This underlines the importance of the spectrum sensing module to enable the operation of the CR system. The objective of the spectrum sensing module is to achieve the best utility from the available spectrum frequency. CR system is implemented in the unlicensed secondary users allowed to rent the spectrum currently not used by primary users (PU). In this paper, energy-detection-based spectrum sensing is implemented on the GNU Radio platform. We first implement the power spectral density (PSD) estimation method based on the periodogram by exploiting the Embedded Python block facility on the GNU Radio. Next, we implement the spectrum sensing decision module in the GNU Radio, which compares the PSD estimate of the PU signals corrupted by noise with a threshold. The PU signal is simulated as a bandpass random process occupying a particular frequency band. The spectrum sensing decision module is developed to allow the computation of the probability of detection (PD) and the probability of false alarm (PFA), which is performed by exploiting the Embedded Python block. One indicator to evaluate the performance of the spectrum sensing module is the receiver operating characteristic curve based on the computed PD and PFA on the GNU Radio. We evaluate the performance of the spectrum sensing for different SNRs and thresholds. The result shows that the energy-detection-based spectrum sensing is able to locate the existence of the PU when the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is sufficiently high.

Monkeypox belonging to the genus Orthopoxvirus (OPV) of the family poxviridiae poses a major human threat even after 30 years after eradicating smallpox. OPV family includes other viruses like vaccinia virus (VACV), variola virus and cowpox virus. VACV smallpox vaccine provided cross protective antibody response against other orthopox viruses.1 The ongoing monkeypox outbreak has affected 31,800 people in more than 89 different countries. India has documented 9 confirmed cases with one death reported.2 Stockpile of smallpox vaccines that contain live vaccinia virus is maintained at two locations, one at Centre for Disease Control laboratory at Atlanta, Georgia and the other at VECTOR institute, Koltsovo, Russia. Data shows effectiveness of Smallpox vaccines against monkeypox to be 85%.3 Vaccine used in smallpox eradication were first generation vaccines which produced multiple side effects like eczema, progressive vaccinia and myopericarditis. This fear of adverse effects and safety concerns had led to the production of second and third generation vaccines like imvanex or ACAM2000.4 The interim guidelines for monkeypox vaccination does not urge the need for mass vaccination considering the side effects and the vaccine production. Countries like Canada, United Kingdom and USA are using ring vaccination to prevent monkeypox. The two vaccines currently being used against monkeypox are Jynneos vaccine and ACAM2000.5 JYNNEOS vaccine (Imvamune in Canada /Imvanex in Europe developed by Bavarian Nordiac) for adults aged 18 years and older was approved in Europe and U.S. The vaccine contains a replication deficient live vaccinia virus (Modified vaccinia Ankara-MVA BN) that is given as subcutaneous injection of 0.5 ml, two doses four weeks apart. The vaccine is used for post exposure prophylaxis against monkeypox virus. CDC recommends the intermediate or high risk group as potential group to receive post exposure propylaxis of the vaccine (Unprotected contact with the body fluid of infected person or contact with less 6 meter distance with the infected person). Vaccine is available in countries like Canada, Europe and Britain.6 ACAM2OOO, containing live replicating vaccinia virus that can replicate as compared to jynneos vaccine. Owning to the side effects associated with the vaccine its only used for laboratory workers handling pox viruses or for military personnel.4,7,8 WHO has stated there is no need for mass vaccination and decision regarding vaccination should be based on the individual case accessing the risk and benefits.5 In India, the Serum Institute of India has confirmed its ongoing research to find vaccine against monkeypox. Monkeypox vaccine pipelines include 1. Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp TNX-8011, a preclinical live virus, which uses horsepox virus 2. EpiVax, Inc’s-Epitome driven vaccine 3.

Published: August 2022

Abstract: In today’s world, when ubiquitous computing has become quite prevalent, there has been an upsurge in the number of users on the internet. The Distributed Denial of Service attack is the most widespread attack that disrupts the functioning of websites, servers, and services. In such attacks, the resources are exhausted by overwhelming requests from multiple attackers and thus become unavailable to users. Hence, it is essential to detect these attacks and prevent network security breaches. This work presents a supervised learning-based DDoS detection comparison developed using the CIC-IDS 2017 dataset [7]. Various models have been compared on different performance metrics to analyze efficiency in detecting DDoS attacks.

Published: August 2022

Objectives The purpose of this study is to investigate whether there is a significant gender difference in the effect of variables that influenced high school students' math achievement during non-face-to-face remote classes due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods For the purpose, I analyzed the math scores of 10,523 high school students in the national level academic achievement test provided by the Korea Institute of Curriculum and Evaluation in 2020. For data analysis, a multi-group structural equation model and a hierarchical multiple regression model were applied, and the structural equation model analysis used parental influence, remote class form, and class activity as exogenous potential variables, mathematical value recognition and learning effort as parameters, and mathematical scores as endogenous variables. Hierarchical multiple regression analysis reviewed the increase in explanatory power by using sub-variables related to parental influence, remote classes, and class activities as independent variables. In addition, a bootstrapping method was applied to verify the mediating effect of mathematical value recognition and mathematical learning efforts. Results As a result of the multi-group structural equation model analysis, there was a significant gender difference in the relationship with parents, the type of distance class, and the influence of teachers' teaching activities on high school students' math value recognition and math learning efforts. Second, there was a significant gender difference in the effect of mathematical value recognition and mathematical learning efforts on mathematical grades. Third, there was a significant gender difference in the mediating effect of mathematical value recognition and mathematical learning efforts between exogenous variables and mathematical scores. Fourth, there was a significant gender difference in the effect of the subtype of remote class and the subtype of teacher's class activities on mathematical grades. Conclusions These results show that in order to improve high school students' math achievement in remote class situations due to the pandemic, a class design considering gender differences is necessary.

Published: August 2022

Objectives The purpose of this study is to prove the mediating effect of self-compassion and forgiveness on the relationship between insecure adult-attachmant and psychological well-being. Methods This study conducted a survey consisnting adult-attachment scale, psychological well-being scale, self-compassion scale and forgiveness scale. The collected datea was analyzed with SPSS 35 and Mplus 7.3. Results This study confirms the need for varying approaches to forgiveness depending on adult attachment dimensions and the importance of attaining self-compassion, a positive factor, before forgiveness to achieve psychological well-being. Attachment anxiety improved psychological well-being only through a sequential, double mediation by self-compassion and forgiveness. Conversely, attachment avoidance can boost psychological well-being through a simple mediation by self-compassion or forgiveness and also can enhance psychological well-being through double mediation by self-compassion and forgiveness. The factors were associated in the following ways. First, there were significant correlations among adult attachment, psychological well-being, self-compassion, and forgiveness. Second, self-compassion and forgiveness did not have simple mediating effects on the relationship between attachment anxiety and psychological well-being. However, self-compassion and forgiveness had double mediating effects. Third, self-compassion and forgiveness had a mediating effect on the relationship between attachment avoidance and psychological well-being, and both had a double mediating effect as well. Conclusions In this study, the discussion and limitation of this study is presented.

Lope de Vega' Sacramental Act The Bridge of the World and the Chivalric Literature
Authors:   Institute of Foreign Literature, Lee Manhee
Published: August 2022

Lope de Vega's The Bridge of the World, which added public interest of a chivalric literature to the religious solemnity of the sacramental act made a fresh impression on the Spanish audience who were enthusiastic about the chivalric novels. Since the essence of Christianity is the spiritual warfare between Christ and Satan, the sacramental act and the secular chivalric literature are naturally connected. By summoning the Spanish public's passion for chivalric literature and incorporating it into his sacramental act, a representative genre of the Counter-Reformation, Lope de Vega satisfied not only the Catholic Church's purpose of catechesis but also the adventurous taste of the Spanish audience. The incorporation of chivalric literature, a typical secular literature, into a Catholic religious drama, ideally embodied the aesthetics of Horatius' dulce et utile.

Sri Lanka is under a myth that the fall of tourism is due to the Easter Sunday attack in 2019 followed by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. In contrast, this study argues the fall started even before those shocks incorporating corporate social responsibility (CSR) and financial performance (FP) in the tourism industry. A stratified random sample of 10 hotels was selected, and their annual reports were utilized in gathering data. An abductive approach was employed where content analysis was carried out to find out the CSR words, then thematic analysis was conducted to grasp the important themes of CSR, and then the Nila unit method was adopted in converting the themes to measurable CSR. After converting CSR measurable, the study continued with descriptive and correlation analysis. The study found a slight but incremental behaviour in CSR disclosure yet a significant slump in FP of hotels. The study is significant since it argues that the present economic crisis is not due to the Easter Sunday attack and COVID-19 pandemic, but it emerged even before the said shocks.
Is Audit Partner Identification Useful? Evidence from the KPMG “Steal the Exam” Scandal
Authors: Abbott Lawrence J. , Barber Russell , Buslepp William L. , Sapkota Pradeep
Published: August 2022

On April 11, 2017, the Securities and Exchange Commission charged KPMG with using confidential information relating to the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s planned inspections of KPMG. The incident was colloquially labeled the KPMG “steal the exam scandal.” We use this setting to investigate whether the market finds information concerning individual partner identity useful. Since KPMG withheld the names of the audit partners involved in the scandal, the market was unable to distinguish between rotation-induced audit partner turnover and regulatory-related audit partner terminations. Following information economics models of nondisclosure, we predict the market would use information about KPMG audit partner turnover as evidence of regulatory-related audit partner terminations and impose costs on KPMG audit clients who experienced audit partner turnover. The results are consistent with our prediction as KPMG’s overall reputation was not damaged, whereas audit engagements involving audit partners that were potentially involved in the scandal were.

New Evidence on Investors’ Valuation of Deferred Tax Liabilities
Authors: Hamilton Russ
Published: August 2022

Although deferred tax liabilities (DTLs) represent a significant financial statement liability for most firms, research reaches conflicting conclusions regarding investors’ valuation of these items. Using an expanded dataset of hand-collected tax footnotes, I examine the nuanced association between depreciation-related DTLs and firm value, extracted from a period when these relations may have been more easily analyzed by investors. I show that investors price depreciation-related DTLs as economic burdens, on average. Despite arguments that growing DTL balances might signal a lack of reversals (and a lower likelihood of being priced), I show that investors price growing depreciation-related DTL balances. Finally, I find evidence that DTL pricing is sensitive to expectations of firms’ future tax status and that investors value the tax deferral associated with DTLs. As depreciation-related DTLs are by far the largest DTL component, my study provides important insights into the valuation of deferred tax balances.

The optimal care of type 1 diabetes involves consistent glycemic management to avoid short- and long-term complications. However, despite advancements in diabetes technology and standards, achieving adequate glycemic levels in children and adolescents remains a challenge. This study aimed to identify factors associated with achieving the recommended A1C target of <7% from the United States–based multicenter T1D Exchange Quality Improvement Collaborative cohort, including 25,383 children and adolescents living with type 1 diabetes.

BACKGROUND

Physical activity (PA) is a cornerstone of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) treatment. Sex differences in PA behavior or barriers/facilitators to PA among individuals with T2DM are unclear.

PURPOSE

To summarize the evidence related to sex differences in participation in PA and barriers/facilitators to PA among individuals with T2DM across the life span.

DATA SOURCES

Systematic searches (CRD42021254246) were conducted with Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Allied and Complementary Medicine Database (AMED), APA PsychInfo, and SPORTDiscus.

STUDY SELECTION

We included studies with assessment of PA, sedentary behaviors (SB), or barriers/facilitators to PA among individuals with T2DM by sex or gender.

DATA EXTRACTION

Participant characteristics, meeting PA guidelines, participation in PA and SB, and barriers/facilitators to PA were extracted by two independent reviewers.

DATA SYNTHESIS

A total of 53 articles (65,344 participants) were included in the systematic review and 21 articles in the meta-analysis. Sex differences were not observed in meeting of PA guidelines among adolescents (odds ratio 0.70 [95% CI 0.31, 1.59]), but males were more likely than females to meet PA guidelines among adults (1.65 [1.36, 2.01]) and older adults (1.63 [1.27, 2.09]). Males performed more moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA) than females across all age-groups. Common barriers to PA were lack of time (men) and lack of social support and motivation (women).

LIMITATIONS

Limitations include heterogeneity of measures used to assess PA and lack of stratification of data by sex.

CONCLUSIONS

Sex differences in meeting PA guidelines were not observed among adolescents but were apparent among adults and older adults with T2DM. Females consistently engaged in less MVPA than males across the life span.
In-Hospital Hyperglycemia Is Associated With Worse Outcomes in Patients Admitted With COVID-19
Authors: Lombardi Angela , Agarwal Shivani , Schechter Clyde , Tomer Yaron
Published: August 2022

OBJECTIVE

Diabetes and the outpatient diabetes treatment regimen have been identified as risk factors for poor outcomes in patients with sepsis. However, little is known about the effect of tight inpatient glycemic control in the setting of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Therefore, we examined the effect of hyperglycemia in patients with diabetes hospitalized because of COVID-19.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

We analyzed data from 1,938 COVID-19 patients with diabetes hospitalized for COVID-19 from March to May 2020 at a large academic medical center in New York City. Patients were divided into two groups based on their inpatient glycemic values, and a Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to assess the independent association of inpatient glucose levels with mortality (primary outcome) and the risk of requiring mechanical ventilation (MV) (secondary outcome).

RESULTS

In our analysis, 32% of the patients were normoglycemic and 68% hyperglycemic. Moreover, 31% of the study subjects died during hospitalization, and 14% required MV, with inpatient hyperglycemia being significantly associated with both mortality and the requirement for MV. Additionally, in the Cox regression analysis, after adjustment for potential confounders, including age, sex, race, BMI, HbA1c, comorbidities, inflammatory markers, and corticosteroid therapy, patients with uncontrolled hyperglycemia had a higher risk of dying (hazard ratio [HR] 1.54, 95% CI 1.00–2.36, P = 0.049) and of requiring MV (HR 4.41, 95% CI 1.52–2.81, P = 0.006) than those with normoglycemia.

CONCLUSIONS

A tight control of inpatient hyperglycemia may be an effective method for improving outcomes in patients with diabetes hospitalized for COVID-19.

Authors: NIKONOVA EKATERINA A.
Published: August 2022

The article dwells on the two main types of the analytical articles - argumentative and reasoning - which are the results of the variations in the analytical block of the genre composition. It is demonstrated that the argumentative analytical article has a fixed structure which unwinds horizontally or vertically and consists of arguments which support and counter the thesis. It is shown that the reasoning analytical article is aimed at answering an open question, which means that there can’t be a stated structure of the analytical block. The typical elements of this type are description of the main aspects of the situation, coverage of the main views on the issue, explanation of the events and their interconnection, consideration of the possible reactions and consequences.
