Sekitar 64% guru SMPN di Kabupaten Sidoarjo belum melakukan publikasi ilmiah dan sekitar 95% belum pernah mengikuti pelatihan Metode Statistika yang diperlukan dalam Penelitian Tindakan Kelas (PTK). Penelitian Tindakan Kelas adalah salah satu teknik yang dilakukan agar pembelajaran mengalami peningkatan dengan perbaikan secara berkala. Kegiatan Pengabdian Masyarakat dalam bentuk pelatihan Metode Statistika bagi guru SMPN di Kabupaten Sidoarjo ditujukan untuk memberi keterampilan analisis Statistika untuk PTK sebagai bahan publikasi, sehingga guru dapat meningkatkan kualitas pembelajaran. Pelatihan dilakukan dengan kombinasi metode daring untuk penyampaian materi karena Pandemi Covid-19, tetapi dikombinasikan dengan metode luring pada kegiatan asistensi untuk pendalaman materi secara berkelompok dengan mengikuti protokol kesehatan. Kegiatan pelatihan terdiri dari penyampaian materi kepada peserta kemudian pemberian tugas yang dipresentasikan. Hasil pelatihan menunjukkan 91% peserta yang mengikuti semua proses pembelajaran dan asistensi dapat menganalisis data sesuai target. Selanjutnya dengan Uji-t, disimpulkan bahwa kemampuan analisis peserta dari kelompok Luar Kecamatan Sidoarjo (LKS) mencapai 71,7, lebih tinggi secara signifikan pada level 5% dibandingkan peserta dari Kecamatan Sidoarjo (KS) yang hanya mencapai 64,6. Selain itu proses pelatihan bagi peserta kelompok LKS dikatakan kapabel karena peta X dan MR menunjukkan prosesÂ  terkendali dengan indeks kapabilitas (Cp) lebih dari satu, yaitu Cp=1,05. Sedangkan proses pembelajaran bagi peserta kelompok KS tidak kapabel karena walaupun terkendali tetapi indeks Cp hanya mencapai 0,23.

Desa Candinegoro terletak di Kecamatan Wonoayu, Kabupaten Sidoarjo, Jawa Timur. Desa tersebut memiliki situs candi bercorak Hindu yakni Candi Dermo yang merupakan peninggalan pada Masa Kerajaan Majapahit, Wangsa Hayam Wuruk yang berdiri pada tahun 1953. Terkait dengan usaha Pemerintah Kabupaten Sidoarjo dalam mengembangkan Desa Candinegoro menjadi Desa Wisata, diperlukan beberapa perencanaan pengembangan desa, salah satunya pengembangan dalam aspek sentra kuliner. Candi Dermo saat ini cukup menarik minat pengunjung dimana rata-rata pengunjung mencapai 90-125 orang tiap bulannya. Jumlah pengunjung ini cukup kecil dibandingkan dengan pengunjung dari Candi lainnya di Indonesia. Candinegoro sudah memiliki area kuliner yang berada di tepi sungai sebelah utara Jalan Kemasan, Desa Candinegoro sepanjang 200 m. Namun lokasi wisata kuliner ini kurang tertata dengan baik sehingga kurang menarik pengunjung dalam berwisata kuliner di tempat tersebut. Kurang lengkapnya sarana dan prasarana yang ada pada pusat kuliner tersebut menyebabkan warga kurang tertarik untuk berwisata di area tersebut. Untuk mengatasi permasalahan tersebut, maka dilakukan perancangan desain sentra kuliner yang dilengkapi dengan sarana dan prasarana penunjang yang diperlukan dalam realisasi pengembangan sentra kuliner.

Kawasan wisata Bumi Perkemahan Bedengan terletak di Dusun Selokerto, Desa Selorejo, Kecamatan Dau, Kabupaten Malang, Jawa Timur. Dibuka pada tahun 2007 dan awalnya merupakan tempat pembibitan pohon mahoni. Kawasan perkemahan Bedengan saat ini merupakan kawasan perkemahan yang cukup edukatif yang menyatukan unsur- unsur rekreasi dengan edukasi atau yang dikenal dengan “Pendidikan Rekreasi”. Sebagai kawasan perkemahan, Bumi Perkemahan Bedengan masih belum informative dalam pemetaan area perkemahan, dan masih kurangnya penunjuk arah. Pengunjung tentunya akan kesulitan menemukan spot tertentu bila informasi area masih kurang. Permasalahan lainnya juga tingkat kerapian dan kebersihan juga masih rendah dimana masih banyak blok-blok area perkemahan yang masih beralasakan tanah. Banyak dijumpai juga semak- semak belukar yang tidak berguna dan tidak seharusnya ada di area untuk berkemah, serta masih ditemukan banyak tumpukan kayu yang masih berserakan. Solusi yang mampu dilakukan yaitu dengan membuat instalasi wahana perkemahan yang ramah dan aman sebagai daya tarik wisatawan dan kenyamanan para pengunjung. Selain itu menjadikan kawasan perkemahan lebih inovatif sebagai perkemahan yang edukatif sehingga terwujudnya sarana “pendidikan rekreasi” yang ramah dan aman

Возможность надежного охлаждения оснований в условиях «вялой мерзлоты»
Authors: Plotnikov A. A. , Guryanov G. R.
Published: May 2021

На кафедре Проектирования зданий и сооружений проводятся исследования по направлению «Строительство в условиях Крайнего Севера». Основное научное направление — температурный режим мерзлых грунтовых оснований. В 2017 на симпозиуме в Магадане был представлен доклад: «Методы охлаждения оснований зданий, построенных по принципу сохранения грунтов в мерзлом состоянии (на примере г. Мирного)». В докладе для данной конференции эта тема рассмотрена для условий г. Магадана. Неустойчивость температурного режима в условиях «вялой» мерзлоты не позволяет определенно ориентироваться на I или II принципы строительства. Первый предусматривает сохранение вечномерзлых грунтов с недопущением промерзания, а второй — с недопущением оттаивания в течение всего срока эксплуатации здания. Рассматривается второй случай, когда температура грунта отрицательная и близка к -0.3℃, при отсутствии фильтрации воды. Неустойчивое температурное состояние грунтов может быть переведено в талое или мерзлое состояние в зависимости от внешних воздействий или при помощи дополнительных мер по охлаждению или подогреву грунта. В данной статье при помощи численного моделирования исследуется возможность создать и поддерживать грунтовое основание многоэтажного здания в твердомерзлом состоянии при помощи вертикальных жидкостных сезонно-охлаждающих устройств, не требующих расходов при эксплуатации и эффективной теплоизоляции.
DEVELOPING INTERCULTURAL COMPETENCES AND CREATIVITY: THE FOUNDATION FOR SUCCESSFUL INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION
Authors: Braslauskas Justinas
Published: May 2021

Although various aspects of intercultural communication have been examined in the works of various authors, there is still a lack of more in-depth research to analyse effective intercultural interaction in the context of combining intercultural competences and creativity competences. A number of works on intercultural communication identify only the barriers to effective communication and provide ways to overcome them; they insufficiently focus on the importance of competence development, in particular the role of creativity in ensuring effective intercultural communication. Meanwhile, the role of creativity as a process of generating new ideas and solving problems in intercultural communication is undeniable. There is no doubt that in order to ensure effective intercultural communication, it is necessary to combine intercultural competences with creativity competences. The object of this study is the development of intercultural competencies and creativity competencies in the context of intercultural interaction. The aim of this article is to examine the development of intercultural competencies and creativity as a basis for successful intercultural communication. Through the works of various scholars, the article describes the aspects of intercultural competences and creativity competence development in the context of intercultural interaction, and emphasises the importance of combining these competencies in order to achieve effective intercultural communication. The following methods are applied in the work: analysis and synthesis of scientific literature.
PERFORMANCE OF REVERSE LOGISTICS IN ELECTRONIC COMMERCE: A CASE STUDY FROM LEBANON AND SYRIA
Authors: Davidavičienė Vida , Al Majzoub Mohamad
Published: May 2021

The technological advancements facilitated the progress of the Business-To-Consumer (B2C) e-commerce business tremendously. B2C e-commerce has several benefits such as saving costs by decreasing the use of resources, increasing profits, and competitive advantage, especially in the pandemic context. However, this opportunity comes with challenges, and one of such is related to a significant number of products that are returned to the vendor or manufacturer. These challenges in the Reverse Logistics’ (RL) in the context of e-commerce become a new phenomenon – Reverse E-Logistics’ (REL), because the product in the e-commerce is physical goods or electronic ones like videos, music, books, etc. This study focuses on identifying the most critical factors that impact REL performance and discusses how REL can affect its performance. The methodology used is mainly a literature review, synthesis, survey methods, and Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). This study is done in Lebanon and Syria with a sample of 412 companies that perform B2C e-commerce and are faced with REL’ . The results showed that out of the ten factors identified during the literature review, eight factors (management, employees, IT and technology, return policy and procedures/guarantee, infrastructure, organizational structure and culture, customer services/satisfaction, and quality management) have a positive correlation with REL performance. Moreover, improved REL performance results increase in companies’ performances. The business research model was created based on performed REL performance in Lebanon and Syria, and this gives new scientific insights and knowledge about REL specificity in developing countries.

Mais à l’heure du positivisme scientifique et du modèle biotechnologique de la médecine moderne, leur lien paraît aujourd’hui bien distendu et la réintroduction des sciences humaines et sociales en médecine semble s’apparenter à une révolution. Or, on peut faire l’hypothèse que les humanités seront de plus en plus convoquées dans la médecine de demain.
Surgical Site Reassessment: An Important Step in Improving Clinical Outcomes Following Pediatric Endoscopic Dacryocystorhinostomy
Authors: Stockhammer Kaner Noa , Soudry Ethan , Koren Ilan , Gilony Dror , Avisar Inbal
Published: May 2021

Purpose:

To report the authors' experience with endoscopic unpowered dacryocystorhinostomy in the treatment of pediatric nasolacrimal duct obstruction, and to evaluate whether surgical site reassessment (after the appropriate healing period) affects clinical outcomes.

Methods:

This retrospective study included 47 children aged between 1.5 and 17.0 years (mean age: 6.9 years) who underwent endoscopic unpowered dacryocystorhinostomy between 2014 and 2019 at one tertiary care hospital. Twenty-six patients required unilateral and 21 required bilateral endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy. The main outcome measures were duct patency on lacrimal irrigation (“anatomical success”) and resolution of symptoms (“clinical success”) over 6 months of postoperative follow-up.

Results:

Sixty-eight dacryocystorhinostomy procedures were performed. Surgical site reassessment during tube removal was performed in 52 of 68 cases. Five cases (9.6%) required treatment of local pathologies, only after which was symptomatic relief achieved. Overall anatomical success was observed in 49 (94.2%) of the 52 cases in which nasal endoscopy was performed, including the 5 cases treated during reevaluation. Clinical success was observed in 63 (92.6%) cases.

Conclusions:

Pediatric endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy is an effective surgical procedure used to correct nasolacrimal system obstruction resistant to conservative measures. The unpowered endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy technique is practical and safe in the pediatric population. Surgical site reassessment allows treating local pathologies threatening ostium patency and increases clinical success rates.

Caregiver Characteristics and Outcomes Associated With Level of Care Complexity for Older Adults
Authors: Bell Janice F. , Whitney Robin L. , Keeton Victoria , Young Heather M.
Published: May 2021

Care in the home is increasingly complex, with family caregivers now expected to take on aspects of care previously managed by nurses and other health professionals. In a national sample of caregivers of older adults, we examined predictors and outcomes of level of care (low, medium, high) based on caregiving hours and counts of activities of daily living (ADLs) and instrumental ADLs supported. Characteristics associated with high level of care include Hispanic or “other” race/ethnicity, being unemployed, and specific care recipient conditions (e.g., Alzheimer's disease/dementia, cancer, mobility limitations). High compared to low level of care is also associated with caregiving difficulty and unmet needs. These findings underscore the need for targeted interventions and nursing research to further understand the features and dynamics of care complexity. Such research can inform family-centered interventions, health care system redesign, and health policies to support family caregivers of older adults engaged in complex care. [

China Dealing with the Impact of Fake News : Roles of Governments in the “Post-truth” Predicament
Authors: Yang Yu , Kuo Huang , author) Jiang Fei (corresponding
Published: May 2021

With the advancement of communication technology and increasing number of people turning to their mobile devices for news and information, social media is functioning as both the platform as well as content provider. However, fake news could also travel faster and wider, while the traditional gatekeeping process of media diminishes. In the context of the Brexit referendum and the U.S. presidential campaign in 2016, the spike of “post-truth” in the headlines spurred heated discussions of the tension between “appeals to emotion” and “objective facts”. Based on a review of anti-fake news measures, case analysis, and expert consultations, this study examined the government’s roles from three dimensions, as public sphere guarantor, constrained moderation provider and knowledge production facilitator in the efforts to create a news ecosystem that values and promotes truth.
« Ils sont terrifiés par la médecine occidentale »
Authors: Roy Mélissa
Published: May 2021

Les discours accusatoires sont une dynamique récurrente dans l’histoire des épidémies. Si les études sur le sujet ont tendance à recenser des figures du blâme et montrer en quoi leur accusation renforce des enjeux sociaux préexistants, cette recherche ajoute une perspective complémentaire à ce corpus d’écrits en analysant le travail rhétorique de la production du blâme. À partir du concept de cadres, elle s’intéresse aux logiques argumentatives sous-jacentes aux accusations déployées dans le débat thanatologique lors de l’épidémie Ebola 2013-2016. Notre analyse des commentaires sur Facebook et Twitter indique que cinq cadres accusatoires justifient le déploiement de discours entourant les pratiques funéraires traditionnelles : l’opposition religion – science; l’inaction et l’irresponsabilité; les cultures locales/africaines; la corruption; et la pauvreté. Ces cadres sont appuyés par les autorités sanitaires et les médias, dont les discours sont remis en circulation par les usagers de médias sociaux afin de justifier leurs arguments accusatoires. L’analyse montre que l’usage de ces schèmes et le choix de figures du blâme privilégiées varient selon l’ancrage géographique des usagers de médias sociaux. Une lecture transversale des résultats indique que les cadres accusatoires mobilisent l’« irrationalité » des accusés, et qu’ils ciblent des figures récurrentes, notamment le continent africain et ses habitants. Nous émettons l’hypothèse que ces discours réarticulent des normes et craintes qui vont au-delà de la peur de la maladie et de l’Autre. Ils sont aussi ancrés dans des frustrations préexistantes et réarticulent une préoccupation contemporaine à l’égard de la « désinformation ». En guise de conclusion, nous suggérons des pistes de réflexion pour les stratégies de communication en ligne.

Implementations of ACJ Technique in Different Four-Port Filter Networks
Authors: Ogbodo Eugene A.
Published: May 2021

This chapter proposes the use of asynchronously coupled-resonator junctions (ACJ) in the design of a multi-input multi-output (MIMO) filtering network and a masthead combiner (MHC). By employing the resonator junctions, miniaturised circuits are achieved without using any transmission-line-based impedance matching circuits. The main challenge in the designs is the control and implementation of the external couplings at the common ports of this all-resonator-based MIMO filtering network and MHC. Both devices are four ports-based with the MIMO filtering network operating at 1.8, 2.1, and 2.6 GHz, while the MHC operates at the two channels of 1.8 and 2.1 GHz. The demonstrated designs achieved fractional bandwidths of 1.764 GHz to 1.836 GHz, 2.058 GHz to 2.142 GHz, and 2.548 GHz to 2.652 GHz, respectively. Good agreements have been achieved between the measurements of the prototype devices and the simulations.

This value chain includes community input resources (including human, economic, social/structural, built, and natural resources) which generate activities and outputs. The value of the active economy is defined by its impact on a community's economic, human, social, and environmental wellbeing. Herein, the literature associated with the impact of the active economy on the dimensions of community wellbeing is examined.
Health and Wellness in an Active Economy
Authors: Watson Cynthia , Martin Tracey
Published: May 2021

There are two approaches to health and wellness that are explored throughout this chapter. The first is a socio-ecological response, where the recreation system has been focused on changing individual behaviour at the programmatic level. There is the realization that if programs were the single answer, then all the world's problems would be solved by now. What is needed is a much larger systemic response. The second approach relates to the co-creation of authentic and customized health and wellness solutions. Typically, the notion of health and wellness is viewed through the lens of the “expert” and a prescription model that is grounded in “the expert knows what is best for you.” The emerging model is one where the citizen is at the centre of the solution process. People desire the ability to feel more in control and make informed decisions about their health for themselves and their families. In this chapter, the authors explore this topic by reviewing a Canadian health and wellness action study.
An Analysis of Privacy Language in the Scholarly Literature on Mental Health Apps
Authors: Ebben Maureen , Murphy Julien S.
Published: May 2021

This chapter charts the language of privacy in published scholarship on mental health apps. What definition of privacy is assumed? What meanings of privacy are deployed in the research about mental health apps? Using a qualitative thematic approach, this analysis shows that privacy language can be understood as occurring in three phases: Phase 1: Discourse of Technological Possibility; Phase 2: Discourse of Privacy Challenges and Threats; and Phase 3: Discourse of Advocacy. The authors discuss each of these phases and propose a more critical discourse of privacy by identifying the issues inherent in understanding privacy as security.

Personalized medicare systems is an emerging field of research, which bears the potential to significantly reduce healthcare expenditures and treatment errors and thereby to revolutionize the entire treatment procedure. In this novel approach, genomic variation in different individuals is duly taken into consideration. However, there exist several serious issues (e.g. privacy concerns) that provide hindrance to large-scale adoption of this medicare system. The main objective of this study has been to identify the privacy issues and to evaluate their impact on successful implementation of this novel medical treatment. The methodology used is empirical and is based on a survey-based post facto procedure. The data collected from the survey are analyzed by using the method of structural modelling analysis. This is an original study in the realm of healthcare management, which reveals that the technology related factors and privacy concerns have considerable impact on the successful implementation of personalized medicare system on a large scale. But the privacy concerns have no significant moderating effect on the impact of technology related factors, so far, the success of implementation of personalized medicine is concerned.

A Fuzzy Adaptive Firefly Algorithm for Multilevel Color Image Thresholding Based on Fuzzy Entropy
Authors: Wang Yi , Li Kangshun
Published: May 2021

Multilevel thresholding image segmentation has always been a hot issue of research in last several years since it has a plenty of applications. Traditional exhaustive search method consumes a lot of time for searching the optimal multilevel thresholding, color images contain more information, solving multilevel thresholding will become worse. However, the meta-heuristic search algorithm has unique advantages in solving multilevel threshold values. In this paper, a fuzzy adaptive firefly algorithm (FaFA) is proposed to solve the optimal multilevel thresholding for color images, and the fuzzy Kapur's entropy is considered as its objective function. In the FaFA, a fuzzy logical controller is designed to adjust the control parameters. A total of six satellite remote sensing color images are conducted in the experiments. The performance of the FaFA is compared with FA, BWO, SSA, NaFA and ODFA. Some measure metrics are performed in the experiments. The experimental results show that the FaFA obviously outperforms other five algorithms.
Addressing Global Climate Change With Big Data-Driven Urban Planning Policy
Authors: Zacharias John
Published: May 2021

Cities in China gather data to support strategic and operational management, including databases on buildings, land use, human occupancy, underground services, and travel surveys. However, these data are seldom used to analyze policy decisions, with urban planning confined largely to operational planning. Real estate and financial interests dominate strategic planning, while an ecological crisis threatens urban sustainability in the long run. In this research, carbon emissions (CE) related to planning, building, and intra-urban travel are measured for two representative types of typical urban development in southern China, using data from Shenzhen. The two types are contemporary planned units (PUD) and dense, low-rise developments (VSD). It is found that VSD accounts for less than one-third the CE of PUD, although there is considerable diversity in the performance of PUD. Based on this research, major reductions in CE can be achieved by focussing urban planning policy on carbon-efficient development.

Published: May 2021

The development of social networking sites has led to the appearance of social commerce using Web 2.0 to support social exchange activities. While this topic has received attention in the literature, research still lacks theoretical foundation tackling the relationships between hedonic, utilitarian motivations and social commerce purchase intentions. This study addresses this shortcoming, as it investigates these relations. A theoretical model was proposed and tested using a survey. Findings indicate that the higher the hedonic value derived from a social network, the more trustworthy this channel becomes and the higher the purchase intention. Furthermore, economic benefit exerts a positive and significant influence on trust and intent to purchase using the social commerce channel. The results offer several theoretical and practical implications. They highlight the significance of the utilitarian and hedonic shopping motivations on social commerce adoption and ascertain the important mediating role of trust as well as the need to enhance economic benefits and enjoyment for customers.
