The paper presents an IOT based intelligent lake water quality measuring system that comprises of low cost industrial grade sensors and off the shelf components along with signal conditioning circuits that measure the important water quality parameters such as DO, pH, TDS, and Temperature. The data is pushed onto a dedicated cloud platform in real-time and can be accessed through an online dashboard, as well as from an android application on smart phones. The system is also equipped with very important feature: the detection of abnormal dynamic variation in measured parameters and anomaly alert algorithm. The system firmware has intelligence that modulates the data transmission rate to cloud for extending the battery life, based on ambient lighting conditions and optimizes the rate in case of anomaly in water quality parameters to optimize the use of battery power. The system has two variants, the first variant has a fixed structure that can be affixed to a structure at any selected location preferably the shore, whereas the second one has a floating structure that can remain afloat on the water surface. System architecture is described and the measured water quality parameters are presented of tests conducted at multiple lakes in different weather conditions. The results have been verified with standard laboratory test results and presented here.

MoLaBSS: Server-specific add-on biometric security layer model to enhance the usage of biometrics
Authors: Singh Bhanu Pratap , Singh Nirvisha
Published: April 2020

With high
paced growth in biometrics, and its easy availability to capture various
biometric features, it is emerging as one of the most
valuable technologies for multifactor authentication to verify a user’s
identity, for data security. Organizations
encourage their members to use biometrics, but they
are hesitant to use due to perceived security risks. Because of its low usage
rate, many medium and small segment organizations find it unfeasible to deploy
robust biometric systems. We propose a “server-specific add-on biometric security
layer model,” to enhance confidence in the usage of biometrics. We tested this
model via a biometric mobile app, and the survey showed a favorable response of
80%. The innovative mobile app was tested for its usability and got a score of
more than 71%. For test tool reliability, we examined the equal error rate
(EER) of the app and got a reasonably low score of 6%. The results show a good
potential of this framework to enhance users’ confidence-level in the usage of biometrics.
Higher usage rates may make deployment of biometrics more cost-effective for
many organizations to decrease their information
security risk.

Performing Manufacturer Mitigates Risk by Using Performance Information Systems
Authors: Gajjar Dhaval , Kashiwagi Isaac
Published: April 2020

A manufacturer initially approached the researchers to identify how to use the performance information of their high-performance urethane coating system to increase quality. The research project used the construction industry structure to identify owners who understood the high risk and transactions caused by low bid practices. Intelligent owners understood that value was delivered by expert contractors using high performance products rather than warranties. However, during the economic downturn, high performing contractors reverted to the low bid practices of using warranties to win work rather than performance. To create a high-performance environment, the manufacturer again approached the researchers to mitigate the risk caused by their warranties. The research identified that risk was not mitigated by warranties, but by transparency and performance information. A structure was developed that mitigated risk caused by a change in paradigm that resulted in a "win-win" result in a test case that involved the school district. As the system was installed, the performance of contractors increased, and the sprayed urethane foam contractors became the only roofing contractors at the school district to consistently maintain their installed roofs and mitigate the risk to the client at their own cost without using the manufacturer's warranty.

Authors: Le Nguyen , Chong Oswald , Sullivan Kenneth
Published: April 2020

Most construction projects in the developing countries are marred with delays, cost overruns and low satisfaction levels. This paper focuses on analysis of the data collected from a survey that include the twenty-three (23) common risk factors that cause non-performance in construction projects in developing countries. The factors were consolidated from an extensive literature review, and inputs were solicited from 103 construction practitioners in Vietnam. The study reveals the top five risk factors as the bureaucratic administrative system, financial difficulties of owner, slow payment of completed works, poor contractor performance, financial difficulties of contractor. Spearman’s rank-order correlation tests determined no significant differences between the participating groups. Factor analysis explored the correlations among the risks and yielded four outcomes – Lack of Site and Legal Information, Lack of Capable Managers, Poor Deliverables Quality, and Owner’s Financial Incapability. The findings lay the foundation for stakeholders in the developing countries’ construction industry to better plan and manage the risks for their projects and investment and develop innovative solutions to improve their construction project performances.

Delima of the Fixation and Determination of
Qibla
Authors: Parveen Dr. Rashida
Published: April 2020

Islamic Shari'ah is universal, all its injunctions are based on comfort, easiness
and openness, instead of deep philosophical and mathematical delicacies. This is
only because of the fact that the jurisdictions of the "Islamic Shari'ah" are the
sea and land , the black and red including all residents of these regions.
Furthermore, if the obligations of Islam e.g.," "الصلوۃand " "الصومetc, are
obligatory for the "residents"of cities and other educated people, exactly in the
same way these are for the inhabitants of villages, islands and the ignorant
individuals too. Subsequent upon this, it is very much desired by reason,
wisdom and special blessing of Allah (S.W.T) that the "Shari Ahkam" which are
so common, the same should not be made dependent on mathematical delicacies
and astronomical instruments. So that all and sundry may perform their
obligations easily and with full satisfaction
The ambiguities raised by Allama Inayatullah Al-Mashriqi and some Aryan
Hindu,s authors regarding the under reference topic named "Delima of the
fixation (Determination) of Qibla" shall thoroughly be discussed. This paper will
argue and let those facts go through the researching and inductive stages to
explore the valuable realities. Efforts would be exerted to arrive at the
conclusion that in the Delima of Fixation (Determination) of "Qiblah" all of
our religious forefathers (predecessors) e.g. ""تابعین" ,"صحابہand " "تبع تابعین
shall be strictly followed. It means, that we must fix (determine) the "Qibla'h's"
position (direction) on account of only estimation ( ) تقلید و تحریthrough the
significant signs of the natural phenomenon (i.e) the rising and setting of the
Sun, the Moon, besides identification of some of the stars; and not through the
man made, scientific and mythological hypothesis.

STUDY OF ECOSYSTEM OF THE SUKHUM BAY WITH EMPHASIS ANTHROPOGENIC IMPACT, ABKHAZIAN BLACK SEA COAST
Authors: Selifonova Zhanna P. , Makarevich Pavel R. , Samyshev Ernest Z. , Bartsits Levard M.
Published: April 2020

For the first time in thirty years, baseline comprehensive studies plankton and zoobenthos of the Sukhum Bay were conducted and an assessment of its current environmental status was given. The summer phytoplankton abundance of the port of Sukhum was represented mainly by coccolithophorids  Emiliania huxleyi and diatoms algae, among the latter, the common species in polluted or eutrophic brackish waters were recorded. The presence of euglenic algae and cyanobacteria indicates a higher nutrient status, pollution and desalination of the sea area. The alien species Peridinium quinquecorne Abé (Dinophyceae) was recorded in the Abkhazian coastal waters for the first time. Totally, 7 species of tintinnids  belonging to 3 genera Favella, Tintinnopsis, Eutintinnus were established from the Sukhum Bay. Among them, the non-indigenous species Eutintinnus  tubulosus and E. apertus were noticed. Tintinnid ciliates accounted for ca. 5% of total ciliates abundance. The values of the abundance of aloricated ciliates were comparable to the values obtained  from offshore of bays and ports of the northeastern Black Sea. As the pressure of predators is reduced the well-pronounced peaks of holo- and meroplankton biomass were recorded in the last summer – early autumn. A significant part of total holoplankton biomass – 66.5 % (up to 1.1 g/m3) was composed of cladocerans  Penilia avirostris. The  meroplankton was dominated by larvae of bivalve mollusks Mytilaster lineatus,  polychaetes Polydora cornuta and cirripede barnacle Amphibalanus improvisus. The number of meroplankton in the open Sukhum port was 10–15 times lower above than a level of values obtained for ports and bays of the northeastern Black Sea. Among ichthyoplankton, the dominant species were Mullus barbatus ponticus, Diplodus annularis, Trachurus mediterraneus, Engraulis encrasicholus and Sciena umbra. Mean abundance of ichthyoplankton in vertical catches was 5–10 times lower than in offshore of Anapa and Gelendzhik of the northeastern Black Sea. And the proportion of dead eggs was 2 – 3 times higher than areas of these resort cities. The composition of macrozoobenthos was drastically depleted and resembled that of the polluted port complexes of the northeastern Black Sea. Heteromastus association  dominated in mud bottom sediments. Among spionid polychaetes, the worst invaders Streblospio gynobranchiata and Polydora cornuta have been recorded in soft bottom communities. Depletion of benthic communities, loss from the structure of the trophic web of the macrophyte community and appearance of cyanobacteria and a new alien species in the planktonic and benthic communities leads inevitably to imbalance of the structure of the Sukhum port ecosystem.

Abstract: Church growth is an important essence that needs to be considered in carrying out the mission of the Great Commission of Jesus Christ. The church growth model that needs to be applied is not only inward but needs outward growth. The church can be called ideal and whole if it is serious about these two aspects. Conversely, if the church ignores one of these aspects, then the church can be called as not growing. This growth model can be seen from the context of Acts 2: 42-47. This study uses a data collection system from the literature relating to text and context with an exegetical analysis approach to each word, phrase in this context to find the meaning of whole church growth. The results of this analysis will give an impetus to the church to build unity of the congregation in Christ.Abstrak: Pertumbuhan gereja adalah esensi penting yang perlu diperhatikan dalam menjalankan misi Amanat Agung Yesus Kristus. Model pertumbuhan gereja yang perlu diterapkan tidak hanya yang bersifat ke dalam tetapi perlu adanya pertumbuhan keluar. Gereja dapat disebut ideal dan utuh jika serius memperhatikan kedua aspek ini. Sebaliknya, jika gereja mengabaikan salah satu aspek tersebut, maka gereja itu dapat disebut sedang tidak bertumbuh. Model pertumbuhan seperti ini dapat dilihat dari konteks Kisah Para Rasul 2:42-47. Penelitian ini menggunakan system pengumpulan data dari literatur yang berkaitan dengan teks dan konteks dengan pendekatan analisis eksegesis terhadap setiap kata, frasa dalam konteks ini untuk menemukan arti pertumbuhan gereja yang utuh. Hasil analisis ini akan memberi dorongan kepada gereja untuk membangun persekutuan jemaat yang utuh di dalam Kristus.

Abstract: The passages 2 Timothy 4: 1-5 describes the task of a servant of God. The intended form of duty and calling  included the task and call to always preach the gospel, in all situation good or not. Reprimand and advise the wrong and provide healthy teaching. The task of preaching the gospel is the task of calling for service for all believers. This task must be carried out seriously and with patience. God's servant must have courage to reveal the truth to anyone, including the rulers. But before carrying out that task, the Servant of God must equipted himself first with the Word of God and always give a place to the Holy Spirit to dwell in him because by the Holy Spirit  a person can able to control himself, suffer patiently and carry out his ministry to the end. Being a Servant of God has qualifications in 1 Tim. 3: 2 Paul says that as a servant of God it must be "blameless." The blameless nature comes from the word anepilhmpton  (anepilemton) which implies the fact that a servant should be someone who is no doubt about the character and sound knowledge of the Bible.Abstrak: Nas 2 Timotius 4: 1-5 menjelaskan tugas seorang hamba Tuhan. Bentuk tugas dan panggilan yang dimaksudkan adalah meliputi tugas dan panggilan untuk selalu memberitakan Injil, baik atau tidak baik waktunya, menegur dan menasihati yang sala,h serta memberikan pengajaran yang sehat. Tugas pemberitaan Injil merupakan tugas panggilan pelayanan bagi semua orang percaya. Tugas ini harus dilaksanakan dengan sungguh-sungguh dan dengan penuh kesabaran.  Hamba Tuhan harus berani menyatakan kebenaran kepada siapapun termasuk kepada para penguasa.  Tetapi sebelum melaksanakan tugas itu hamba Tuhan harus terlebih dahulu membekali diri dengan Firman Tuhan dan senantiasa memberi tempat kepada Roh Kudus untuk berdiam dalam dirinya sebab oleh Roh Kuduslah seseorang mampu menguasai diri, sabar menderita dan  dapat menunaikan tugas pelayanan sampai akhir. Menjadi hamba Tuhan memiliki kualifikasi dalam  1 Tim. 3:2 Paulus mengatakan bahwa sebagai pelayan Tuhan itu harus “tidak bercacat.” Sifat yang tak bercacat berasal dari kata anepilhmpton (anepilemton) yang menyiratkan fakta bahwa seorang pelayan seharusnya adalah seorang yang tidak lagi diragukan karakter serta pengetahuan Alkitab yang sehat.
L’euphémisation des interdépendances entre humains et non-humains. Étude de cas à partir d’une sociologie politique écocentrée
Authors: Guimont Clémence
Published: April 2020

À partir d’une enquête empirique des politiques du vivant menée dans le Nord-Pas de Calais, nous proposons une analyse de sociologie politique écocentrée. L’écocentrisme holiste, et plus particulièrement la notion de « communauté écouménique » définie par Gérald Hess, permet au politiste d’analyser différemment les interdépendances entre humains et non-humains. Une confrontation de cette proposition philosophique à une enquête sociologique empirique permet de mettre en avant un processus d’euphémisation des interdépendances, conséquence directe d’un cadrage politique anthropocentré et techniciste. Les dimensions holistiques, sensibles et temporelles d’une communauté politique rassemblant humains et non-humains face à la crise écologique sont ainsi réduites par l’action publique. La notion de « communauté écouménique » met en avant la portée heuristique d’une sociologie politique écocentrée dès lors que l’on intègre la gravité de la disparition des espèces. Elle démontre les angles morts induits par une approche sociologique qui serait strictement constructiviste.

Background: Despite a global commitment to the right to education for persons with disabilities, little is known about how to achieve inclusive education in practice, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where the majority of the world’s people with disabilities reside. Moreover, although exclusion from education is magnified by intersecting gender and socioeconomic inequalities, there is especially little knowledge regarding what approaches to inclusive education are effective amongst girls with disabilities living in resource-poor settings.Objectives: The objective of this article was to assess the impact of an inclusive education intervention led by a non-governmental organisation (NGO) on the educational attainment of girls with disabilities in the resource-poor Lakes region of Kenya.Method: A quasi-experimental design was employed, where the literacy and numeracy educational attainment of the intervention and control groups was compared over two time points a year apart (Time 1 and Time 2; total matched N = 353). During this period, activities pertaining to six core components of a holistic inclusive education model were implemented.Results: Relative to the control group, girls with disabilities in the intervention group reported a greater increase in literacy and numeracy attainment, adjusted for grade and level of functional difficulty.Conclusion: Findings suggest that the intervention was successful in engendering additional improvements in the educational attainment of girls with disabilities from the resource-poor Lakes region of Kenya. Results highlight both the applicability of NGO-led interventions in settings, where national implementation of inclusive education is constrained, and the potential of taking such interventions to scale.
Wheel Nut Seat Strength
Authors:   Wheel Standards Committee
Published: April 2020

The purpose of this test is to evaluate the axial strength of the nut seat of wheels intended for use on passenger cars, light trucks, and multipurpose vehicles. In addition, a minimum contact area is recommended to ensure enough strength for the rotational force in tightening a nut against the nut seat. While this test ensures the minimum strength of the nut seat, the wheel must also have a degree of flexibility. This flexibility, as well as bolt tension, are important to maintain wheel retention.
Mineralogical-Geochemical Study of Corroded Iron-Based Metals from a Salt Mine Environment

Published: April 2020

Metal fragments (pipe, chain, valves), at advanced stages of corrosion, were collected underground in the Wieliczka salt mine. Macroscopically distinct zones of corroded material, as well as black blisters on the surface of different metal fragments, were studied using scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectrometry (SEM-EDS), x-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and Mössbauer spectroscopy (MS). SEM-EDS studies showed various morphological forms with different chemical compositions. The original outer zone of the iron artifacts is mainly composed of aggregates of needle-shaped goethite crystals with idiomorphic crystals of halite. A subsequent zone, toward the inner margin, is composed mainly of fine granular aggregates of magnetite. Goethite (α-FeOOH) and akaganeite (β-FeOOH) form spherical, fibrous, and structureless aggregates in the next internal zone. Forms of aggregates seem to depend on the chloride content, 1 wt% to 3.5 wt% Cl in the structureless aggregates and 5 wt% to 9 wt% Cl in the regular ones. In addition, in the internal zone crystals of lepidocrocite form rosettes. Blisters are built of the acicular akaganeite crystals, which form fibrous aggregates in the shell and spherical ones in the interior. The relative concentrations of iron bearing minerals in the studied zones, i.e., akaganeite, hematite, goethite, magnetite, and lepidocrocite are established. Where they dominate, the zones are: black (magnetite), orange (goethite, lepidocrocite, akaganeite), and light brown (goethite).
A Theoretical Framework of Trust in Large Community Ensembles
Authors: Kumar Anita B.
Published: April 2020

To better understand the psychological and social dynamics within a large ensemble rehearsal, many researchers of community ensembles have turned to theories such as social capital theory (Putnam, 1995) and self-determination theory (Ryan & Deci, 2002), and documented key observations of behaviors and beliefs. Among those beliefs, trust stands out as the social lubricant of the cooperative endeavor of making music in a large ensemble—what Reimer (2003) called “the bedrock of musical endeavor” (p. 123). However, until now there has not been a detailed description or method of understanding trust within the context of music-making activity. Borrowing from a model of trust oft-cited in the field of organization management, I suggest a framework for understanding trust and related constructs, sources, and outcomes as a jumping-off point for future studies of this phenomenon and behaviors associated with the building of trust within the medium of music ensembles.
A Historical Study of the Committee on Institutional Cooperation (CIC) Music Education Group, 1965–2015

The Committee on Institutional Cooperation (CIC) was founded in 1958 by the Council of Ten (Big Ten Universities) and the University of Chicago to share expertise and facilitate development of cooperative academic projects. Music educators in CIC institutions developed a disciplinary group that reflected the goals of the CIC. The purpose of the study was to document the history of the CIC Music Education group between 1965 and 2015, by identifying the roots and development of interinstitutional cooperation that led to the creation of an annual conference beginning in 1975, describing the function and activities of the group, gathering perspectives on its value from those who organized and attended annual conferences, and evaluating the significance of the group, regionally and nationally. Perspectives were gathered through interviews, surveys, and email correspondence with current, former, and emeriti faculty and former doctoral students. Interviews were conducted in person or by phone. The evidence suggests that annual CIC music education conferences have provided meaningful professional networks and social exchanges among faculty and doctoral students. For doctoral students, in particular, conferences gave them opportunities to meet some of the eminent faculty in the profession and to establish bonds with other doctoral students who would become their professional peers. From the evidence, we identified continuity, collaboration, and community as strengths of the group as well as challenges that the members have grappled with over the decades.
