Authors:   Nueva Ecija University of Science and Technology Gen. Tinio Street Cabanatuan City 3100, E. Pascual Lorinda q
Published: February 2021

This research paper aspired to design and develop a gas leakage and fire monitoring and detection alarm system based on SMS. Most fire incidents in houses, schools and factories are caused by gas leakage. Many houses and factories are being destroyed by fire and gas leakage. To prevent the loss of life and properties, preventive measures should be taken, hence this research was conceptualized. The installation of a GF (Gas and Fire) alert system to vulnerable locations may help lessen if not totally eliminate the dangers posed by gas leakage and fire. The GF system was designed and develop to prevent the loss of life and properties caused by gas leakages & fire thus ensuring the safety of life and property. The design of the GF system is composed of hardware and software integrated and programmed to work as gas and fire detector. The programs are coded using embedded C-language. Tests performed on the developed GF system shows excellent response in detecting gas leaks and fire with short time delay. On the other hand, sending of SMS alert shows promising results with few seconds time delay. Also, the network signal of the place of installation affects the performance of the device to send text messages.

Published: February 2021

The present paper is work in progress and closely relates to the earlier introduced idea of monomials and polynomials as substitutes of the term in linguistics when applicable to terminologies, or languages for specific purposes (LSPs). It looks deeper into the investigation of monomials as mono-term (one component), bi-term (two component) and multi-term (three and more components) terms in Ukrainian for Audit and Accounting selected as a sample language from the Slavic language family. The paper will start with the aim and objectives of the work to be followed by a brief overview of the term “monomial”. Section I will move to the material of the study, methods of investigation and literature review. Then it will also explain the differences among simple monomials, simplified monomials, and those compound and complex in the specified terminology in the Ukrainian language. Section II – Results and Discussion, will follow a number of classifications employable for simplified monomials in Ukrainian for Audit and Accounting and present the main findings according to the relevant classifications. Conclusion and References will end up the paper and request for constructive feedback and reasonable critique.
Climate Change and Aerosol Sciences
Authors: Li Kehan
Published: February 2021

Climate change is of great importance in modern times and global warming is
considered as a significant part of climate change. It is proved that human’s
emissions such as greenhouse gases are one of the main sources of global warming
(IPCC, 2018). Apart from greenhouse gases, there is another kind of matter being
released in quantity via emissions from industries and transportations and playing
an important role in global warming, which is aerosol. However, atmospheric
aerosols have the net effect of cooling towards global warming. In this paper,
climate change with respect to global warming is briefly introduced and the role of
aerosols in the atmosphere is emphasized. Besides, properties of aerosols including
dynamics and thermodynamics of aerosols as well as interactions with solar
radiation are concluded. In the end, environmental policies and solutions are
discussed.
Keywords: Climate change, Global warming, Atmospheric aerosols, Particulate
matter, Radiation, Environmental policy.
Pandemic Experiences and the Possibility of Global Health Diplomacy
Authors: Mustajib Sharif , Alam Fahmida
Published: February 2021

This research paper illustrates how the COVID-19 situation expands the importance of the incorporation
of health issues in diplomatic channels. It also argues that the simultaneous interaction of state and nonstate actors in global health issues can reduce the danger of pandemic implications rather than the
isolationist approach. Thus, it delegates an all-inclusive approach. This analysis underpins how the
countries of today‘s world are more interdependent than ever in terms of politics and economics dealing
with trade and business, people‘s movement, information technology, and climate change. Though there
are theoretical and ideological disagreements in the course of diplomacy and statecraft, modern
diplomacy has a space for health issues as an element of its table of contents. It is relevant to mention
that the COVID-19 pandemic has spread to all the regions of the world and it is no longer an issue of a
particular country. Pandemic is not new in the world, we have already faced SARS, Ebola, Anthrax and
so on, but this case is overwhelming, rapidest and unprecedented. In addition, today‘s world is more
complex than ever. This situation is intertwined with several issues of politics, economics, and security,
etc. This study reviewed secondary data to understand the dynamics of several pandemic cases. Based
on findings, it concludes that the Global Health Diplomacy characterized by cooperation, dialogue,
information sharing, capacity building is needed to battle a pandemic; it also suggests transparency,
accountability and integrity to achieve this goal.
Keywords: global health diplomacy, COVID-19, health crisis

LA COMPETENCIA EN EL SECTOR DEL GAS NATURAL: EL MERCADO REGULADO DE A DISTRIBUCIÓN DEL GAS NATURAL A LA LUZ DE LA POLÍTICA ENERGÉTICA DE LA UNIÓN EUROPEA
Authors: ANGULO GARZARO AMAYA
Published: February 2021

La Unión Europea, en su búsqueda por garantizar la obtención sostenible,
competitiva y segura de energía, ha identificado la necesidad de instaurar y
el mantener un mercado interior de la energía. Sin embargo, con relación al sector
del gas natural, su efectiva liberalización está, por lo que respecta al Estado español,
lejos de su definitiva consecución: ciertos mercados permanecen aún hoy ajenos
al juego de la libre competencia. Es el caso del mercado regulado de la distribución
del gas natural. Ello conlleva que ciertos operadores económicos en dicho
mercado hayan aprovechado su posición monopolística para desarrollar conductas
anticompetitivas que afectan a mercados conexos no-regulados ¿liberalizados,
esto es, abiertos al libre juego competitivo¿, impidiendo, en definitiva, instaurar un
mercado interior de la energía competitivo, de ámbito comunitario.

Europar Batasunak horren politika energetikoa egituratu du
energiaren barnemerkatua ezarri eta mantentzeko beharra kontuan izanik, energia
sostengarria, lehiakorra eta ziurra lortzen ahalegintzen duen sektore energetikoaren
garapena bermatzea lortu nahi duelako. Hala ere, gas natural sektoreari dagokionez,
horren benetako liberalizazioa, Estatu espainarra dela-eta, urrunegi dago oraindik:
gaur egun ere merkatu batzuk lehiaren joko asketik kanpo daude. Adibidez, gas
naturalaren banaketa-merkatua dugu. Ondorioz, merkatu horren operadore
ekonomiko batzuek haien monopolio-egoeraz baliatuta, lehiaren kontrako jokaerak
eraman dituzte aurrera, eta portaerok eragina dute erregulatuta ez dauden
¿liberalizatuta, hau da, lehiaren joko askera irekita dauden¿ erlazionatutako
merkatuetan. Azken batean, lehiaren kontrako jokaera horiek oztopatzen dute Europar
Batasunaren eremuan energiaren barne merkatu lehiakorra behingoz ezartzea

The European Union, in its search to guaranteeing the
development of an energy sector that allows the sustainable, competitive and
safe acquisition of energy, has structured its energy policy around the need to
establish and maintain an internal energy market. However, in relation to the
gas sector, its effective liberalization is, as far as the Spanish State is concerned,
far from its definitive attainment: certain markets remain, even today, oblivious
to the game of free competition. This is the case of the regulated market for the
distribution of gas. This means that certain economic operators in that market
have taken advantage of their monopolistic position to develop anti-competitive
practices that affect related non-regulated markets ¿liberalized, that is, open
to free competition¿, ultimately preventing the establishment of an EU-wide
competitive internal energy market.
LIVING IN UNCERTAINTY - PROSPERITY AND THE ANXIETIES OF NGO MIDDLE-CLASS WOMEN IN THE CONTEXT OF MARKETISATION AND PRIVATISATION IN VIETNAM
Authors:   School of Politics and International Studies, Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Leeds, Trinh Binh
Published: February 2021

Studies of the new middle-class often write about the anxieties of falling behind with its members acquiring their middle-class status from uncertain and unpredictable market values. This type of anxiety is typical for members of the white-collar middle-class who often deal with pressures to maintain a conspicuous consumption level to remain in the middle strata. I argue that some of the anxieties associated with wealth experienced by the new middle class in Vietnam are also the result of a mode of governmentality that is used by the state to boost individual self-reliance and economic efficiency with the appeal of public contributions. Governmentality, in Foucault’s proposition, consists of technologies that allow the state to govern individuals from a distance with the vision of correct conduct. This mode of governance is done in Vietnam through the idea of “moral conduct”, by which the state guides the autonomous economic activities of individuals with the moral appeal of public contributions. This paper looks at the performance and experiences of Vietnamese female NGO professionals in the process of marketisation and privatisation in Vietnam. I show that their economic and professional performances demonstrate the morality of domestic responsibilities and public contributions, resembling the symbol of the virtuous woman in Vietnam’s Confucian and socialist tradition, a symbol which continues to be applauded by the state. The findings in this paper are drawn from my PhD research project at the University of Leeds, with data collected from a six-month fieldwork study conducted in Hanoi between 2016 and 2017.
THE JAPANESE COAST GUARD’S OPERATIONALIZED HEDGING STRATEGY IN THE EAST CHINA SEA
Authors:   School of School of Security & Global Studies, American Military University, West Virginia, Pagan Joseph
Published: February 2021

Qualitative evidence from nearly two dozen sources are used to explain how and why an energized, retooled, and restructured Japanese Coast Guard can serve as the primary enabler of an updated Japanese maritime security policy. This study examines the efforts associated with improving Japan’s maritime security in the East China Sea against the pressure points of an assertive Chinese naval apparatus, as well as the country’s enduring security partnership with the U.S. This research showcases both how, and more importantly, why, a specific Japanese Coast Guard-related policy and operational capability can be effective when developed and cultivated from a tailored hedging strategy. This study finds Japan’s best bet for long-term stability and absolute security gain lies in operationalizing a varied hedging strategy through a capable and resourced coast guard.

Las actividades instrumentales de la vida diaria se contemplan como un aspecto necesario para tener un desempeño independiente en la comunidad. Una de las actividades instrumentales significativamente correlacionada con el estado de salud es el uso de transporte público (Seidel, 2009). Bajo el enfoque de Ergonomía Participativa, el objetivo de esta propuesta de diseño es mejorar la usabilidad de los mapas de las rutas de camión mediante la participación de adultos mayores durante el proceso de rediseño de dicha interface (mapa). En el estudio se incluyeron 77 adultos mayores de la Zona Metropolitana de Guadalajara (ZMG), pertenecientes a diferentes colonias de la ciudad y en su mayoría, usuarios asiduos del Sistema de Transporte Público (STP). La evaluación del mapa se realizó con el Post-Study System Usability Questionnaire (PSSUQ), instrumento que mide la satisfacción del usuario después de la interacción con la interfaz, basada en una tarea. Como resultado del análisis se establecieron lineamientos de diseño que condujeron al rediseño del mapa actual.

Authors: Vera Fernando , Sánchez J. Alfredo
Published: February 2021

We present a work in progress related to an Augmented Reality (AR) platform, which is intended to be used by the end user to create their own stories through multimedia content. Based upon a review of existing tools to create AR scenarios in the context of smart cities, we have developed SituAR, a platform in which the user is able to create AR content using multimedia, storytelling and gamification elements. Our goal is to facilitate the creation of AR scenarios and to empower users to become authors. We also include social media elements used for users to share, rank, and comment the content created in order to add new information and to facilitate interaction. This paper discusses SituAR and its potential. In addition, we present preliminary prototypes. Finally, this project is aimed to produce an engaging platform for promoting cultural heritage through interactive stories added to POIs by end users.
A pattern-based approach for developing creativity applications supported by surface computing
Authors: Magallanes Yazmín
Published: February 2021

Whereas creativity tasks have traditionally been supported by conventional media and tools, (such as paper, pens, scissors and glue), mobile phones, tablets and other devices based on interactive surfaces are increasingly been used as additional support. Large-sized multi-touch interactive surfaces appear as an interesting alternative for supporting collaborative creativity processes. However, they have mostly been used for visualization and navigation purposes. Their use as authoring means, which would be essential in creativity tasks, has only begun to be explored. We have identified a significant gap between the level of development tools and the abstractions required by end-user applications that aim to support creativity processes using interactive surfaces. Thus, we propose ISCALI (Innovation Solutions Centered on Activities for Large-sized Interfaces), a model that can be used both for describing and for prescribing the role of multi-touch surfaces in collaborative creativity tasks. Based upon ISCALI, we designed a general architecture for collaborative creativity applications; and we developed a set of building blocks, referred to as TOKAs (Touch Operations for Creative Activities). Applications that facilitate the use of various methodologies that foster collaborative creativity have been implemented by independent developers who have taken advantage of the availability of TOKAs. The implementation and use of TOKAs demonstrate ISCALI’s expressivity for describing and guiding the development of applications that support collaborative creativity on top of interactive surfaces.

Estimating kinetic energy for therapy sessions
Authors: Romero Alejandro , Cornejo Raymundo , Martínez Fernando , Barraza Claudia , Álvarez Vania
Published: February 2021

Therapists usually base the progress of the patients on a daily observation with a global evaluation every six months. This scenario could create a lack of exact and measurable daily data. Measurable data could be very helpful for monitoring patient’s progress and take important decisions regarding the therapy activities. A way to calculate the movement of a human body is through its kinetic energy. The kinetic energy measures the amount of energy spent in a therapy session or activity. The present study calculates the kinetic energy spent by children during movement based learning therapy through a data set captured with a motion sensing input device. Our preliminary results indicate an important impact on kinetic energy during this type of therapy

Design of serious games to assist the reading comprehension of technical texts
Authors: Avilés-Díaz Juan Carlos , Avila-Garcia María Susana
Published: February 2021

Reading comprehension of technical texts is a very important skill that engineering students need to develop. One of the first encounters of engineering students with technical texts in English occurs in programming activities when using a C/C++ compiler, and errors are produced at compilation time. In this work, we present preliminary results of the design of serious games to assist reading comprehension of C compiling errors. We designed and evaluated low fidelity prototypes of games designed so that players can improve their reading comprehension skills at the micro-, and macro-level, i.e. focusing on technical vocabulary, and providing solutions and interpretations to the errors shown in the games. We evaluated the games to learn about their acceptability and whether the students would play them again.
Self-monitoring of blood glucose: The user experience and device interactions of older adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus
Authors: Prado-Jimenez S. Daphne , Rosales-Cinco Rosa Amelia , Aceves-Gonzalez Carlos , Lang Alexandra R.
Published: February 2021

In Mexico, the Type 2 Diabetes mellitus (DM2) is a public health problem and causes early mortality. The highest prevalence is in the elderly population, between 60 and 79 years. Adherence to the treatment and the self-monitoring of blood glucose is often poor. For patients with DM2, the self-monitoring of blood glucose is a useful tool in the management of this chronic condition because it helps to establish a profile of blood glucose levels and to know how the patient is responding to nutrition and pharmacotherapy. This project is being developed with the aim to identify the requirements of older adults with diabetes mellitus type 2 for the use of the glucometer. It will be carried out clinician interviews and individual trials with older adults who suffer this illness. This paper also aims to share a learning experience with the Human-Computer Interaction community working within the medical device industry.

Authors: Iñiguez-Carrillo Adriana L , Gaytán-Lugo Laura S , Maciel-Arellano Rocío , García-Ruiz Miguel A , Aréchiga Daniel
Published: February 2021

This paper describes and analyzes the state of research in Voice User Interfaces (VUIs) in Latin America based on the review of scientific documents published in SCOPUS from 1999 to June 2020, through a bibliometric analysis. We analyzed 419 academic papers. Although a gradual increase is observed over the years, the number of published documents has increased considerably since 2014. Brazil (44%) and Mexico (28%) are the countries with more documents published. Co-authorship occurs between Latin American countries (Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, Ecuador, and Costa Rica). However, the mayor collaboration from Latin American countries occurs with the United States, France, Germany, Spain, Portugal, the United Kingdom, and Japan. The main researched topics are studies of automatic speech recognition, artificial intelligence, speech processing, and human-computer interaction, which have grown over the past few years. Natural language processing, conversational agents, user experience, and chatbots are keywords related to more recent studies. Our analysis reveals that the primary active research developed in the short-term future are personal assistants and assistive technology using voice user interfaces.

Published: February 2021

In this paper, we analyze the physical characteristics of a user with both visual and motor impairment, as well as the user’s context of smartphone use. In order to facilitate navigation using gestures that are easy to do by users with motor and visual impairment, we designed two hardware solutions as physical switches: a case mounted on the phone, and an electronic bracelet. We present the low fidelity prototype of both devices, the proposed user gestures, and their advantages and disadvantages.
Gold deposits ot the Guiana shield
Authors: Maslovsky Alexey
Published: February 2021

The article provides a comparative analysis of Guyana and Venezuela major deposits within the Quartzstone ore field (Guyana). From the northwest to the southeast (from Venezuela to Brazil), more than 10 ore gold deposits are currently known, their total resources (including previous production) exceed 2,600 tons of gold (excluding the Amapari and Salamangoni deposits in Brazil). Almost all of Guyana deposits are confined to the Lower Proterozoic greenstone belts of the Guiana shield identified and explored for the past 15–20 years. The geological features of the largest deposits (Omay, Aurora, Toroparu, Tassawini and Monosi) are presented in the article.
GENESIS AND AGE OF THE TOMTOR Nb AND RARE-EARTH DEPOSIT ORE SEQUENCE, NORTHEASTERN SIBERIAN PLATFORM
Authors: Tolstov Alexander , Cherenkov Vladimir , Baranov Leonid
Published: February 2021

The northeastern Siberian platform (Republic of Sakha, Yakutia) hosts the Udzhinskaya province of alkaline ultrabasic massifs with carbonatites as final phases of magmatic system evolution; they form i ts central carbonatite core and are characterized by elevated Fe, Al and P concentrations. They also contain a complex of rare and rare-earth elements. Crust of laterite weathering of up to 400 m thick is present within the massifs. Phosphate, Nb, Y, Sc and TR content in crust of carbonatite weathering is much higher compared to unaltered rock differences. Their maximum values are in the sequence of specific sedimentary deposits f ormed a s denudation products of ore-bearing carbonatite crust precipitated in minor lake depressions and due to their intensive chemogenic transformation in hot humid climate. They are unique high-grade ores, with no world analogs in terms of mineral potential. Sometimes, these rocks are their natural concentrates averaging (in weight %) 7,21 Nb2O5, 0,578 Y2O3, 0,045 Sc2O3 and 10,16 TR2O3. The rocks composing the ore-bearing sequence show distinct evidence of sedimentary genesis: well-pronounced layered texture and facial zoning, presence of carbonized vegetable detrite and bacteriomorphic aggregates. Therefore, it is reasonable to regard a set of these formations as an independent stratigraphic unit, Tomtor sequence. Geological data suggest that it formed 340-280 Ma. Tomtor sequence can be an important prospecting criteria in prospecting for rare and rare-earth elements.
أثر الإحالة في تماسك النص
Authors: Al Bashri Norah Mohammed
Published: February 2021

يعد التماسك النصي من أهم المفاهيم التي أفرزها الحقل اللساني، وهو يتجاوز حدود الربط بين أجزاء الجملة المفردة إلى تصور كلي للنص، يشتغل على بنياته اللغوية الصغرى التي تكشف عن علاقات النص المتداخلة، وصولًا إلى الانسجام بين حقوله المختلفة: معجمية، وتركيبية، ودلالية.
ولا يتم هذا الاتساق والانسجام إلا من خلال مجموعة من العلائق اللفظية، وتعد الإحالة إحدى هذه العلائق التي تتحقق على المستوى السطحي للنص: رأسيًا وأفقيًا؛ ولذلك كانت هذ المقاربة (أثر الإحالة في تماسك النص-مقاربة لسانية نصية في قصيدة عمر أبو ريشة (بنات شاعر).
وقد قدمت الدراسة مفهوم الإحالة وأنواعها وآلياتها، ثم طبقت هذه الآليات على النص المختار.
وانتهت الدراسة إلى تميز نص (بنات شاعر) بحشد كبير لأدوات الإحالة، مما كان له أكبر الأثر في تحقيق تماسكه النصي، وظهر بجلاء قدرة أبي ريشة على تسخير الإحالة بمختلف أنواعها بفنية عالية، فكان لها وظيفتها الجمالية على مستوى الشكل، وظيفتها المعنوية على مستوى الدلالة.
أما منهج البحث فهو المنهج اللساني النصي الذي يعدِّ النص مرجعًا مكتفيًا بذاته في إنتاج الدلالة، والانتقال من سلطة الخارج إلى سلطة الداخل، أي إلى سلطة البنية النصية، كما استعان البحث بالمنهج الإحصائي لإحصاء آليات الإحالة، وإبراز أكثرها تأثيرًا.
الكلمات المفتاحية: بنات شاعر-التماسك النصي –الإحالة-النص-الترابط.

Summary
Textual cohesion is one of the most important concepts produced by the linguistic field. It transcends the boundaries of connecting between the individual parts of a sentence to a holistic conception of the text, which concentrates on its minor linguistic structures that reveal overlapping text relationships towards the harmony of its various fields: lexical, syntactic, and semantic.
This consistency and harmony can only be achieved through a set of verbal relations. Reference is one of these relations that is achieved in the text superficially: vertically and horizontally. Therefore, this approach (the impact of reference in the cohesion of the text - a linguistic textual approach to the poem of Omar Abu Risha (bnat shaer).
The study introduced the concept of reference, its types and mechanisms, and then it applied these mechanisms to the selected text. The study concluded that the text (bnat shaer) was distinguished by a large number of reference tools, which had the greatest impact in achieving its textual cohesion, and it clearly demonstrated Abu Risha`s ability to harness the various types of reference with high skill. Thus, it had its aesthetic function at the level of form, and its moral function at the level of significance.
As for the research methodology, it is the linguistic textual approach, which considers the text as a self-sufficient reference in the production of indications and transiting from the outer authority to the interior. That is to transit to the authority of the textual structure. The research also used the statistical method to count the mechanisms of reference and highlighting the most influential ones.
Keywords: bnat shaer - Textual cohesion - reference - text -coherence.
