Authors: Woon Kiow Lee , Mohamad Aiman Tuan Muda Syed , Pauline Ong , Chee Kiong Sia , Talib Norfazillah , Saleh Aslinda
Published: April 2019

Tool wear plays a significant role for proper planning and control of machining parameters to maintain the product quality. However, existing tool wear monitoring methods using sensor signals still have limitations. Since the cutting tool operates directly on the workpiece during machining process, the machined surface provides valuable information about the cutting tool condition. Therefore, the objective of present study is to evaluate the tool wear based on the workpiece profile signature by using wavelet analysis. The effect of wavelet families, scale of wavelet and statistical features of the continuous wavelet coefficient on the tool wear is studied. The surface profile of workpiece was captured using a DSLR camera. Invariant moment method was applied to extract the surface profile up to sub-pixel accuracy. The extracted surface profile was analyzed by using continuous wavelet transform (CWT) written in MATLAB. The results showed that average, RMS and peak to valley of CWT coefficients at all scale increased with tool wear. Peak to valley at higher scale is more sensitive to tool wear. Haar was found to be more effective and significant to correlate with tool wear with highest R2 which is 0.9301.Â Â Â
On Structural Optimization of The Propeller Blade
Authors: Aleshin Mikhail , Smirnov Aleksandr , Murzina Margarita , Boldyrev Yuri
Published: April 2019

The results of the structural optimization of propeller blades are presented taking into account its composite structure and pitch change mechanism of the propeller and using FSI (Fluid-Structure Interaction) approaches.  The optimality criterion of the problem is the propeller thrust with optimization parameters being the characteristics of the internal structure of the propeller blade made from a composite. Together with the optimization of the blade shape, the problem is considered which concerns the reduction of the deformations caused by loads occurring during the operation of the propeller, since significant deformations of the blades lead to decreased thrust.Thus, the following optimization problem can be formulated: to find the optimal configuration of the composite material and its micro-geometrical parameters along the height of the blade to minimize deformations and increase the thrust of the propeller.  At the same time, the optimization parameters are limited by the weight of the propeller and the strength characteristics.The technique presented in the paper allows us to obtain the reliable values of thrust and reduce the estimated computational time.  The influence of the structure of the composite material on the mechanical properties of the blades is shown; the values of deformation of the blades under the action of centrifugal and aerodynamic loads are given.

The article develops proposals for the systematization of crisis phenomena in socio-economic systems in the conditions of globalization. It was established that globalization only increases the frequency of crisis phenomena and their scale. It was proved that the strengthening of relations between individual countries predetermines the growth of their interdependence. It was determined that in the context of globalization, the economic entities of one country become dependent on the markets or resources of other countries. For the socioeconomic systems of an enterprise rank, the environment in modern conditions is often not the socioeconomic system of the higher rank, which includes the enterprise, but other socio-economic systems of higher rank. Therefore, the emergence of crisis situations is often considered in terms of the interaction of the socio-economic system of a certain level with the system of the higher level, considering the fact that the impact of crisis phenomena is the determining one.Â Â

The successful to applied, it will have impact to increase of marketing target achievement. The character of information served by recommender system have to be special, personalized, relevant and fit according customer profiling. There are four kind of recommender system model, however there is one model that was successful to be applied in real ecommerce industry that popular named collaborative filtering. Collaborative filtering approach need a record users or customers activity in the past to generate recommendation for example rating record, purchasing record, testimony about product.  The majority collaborative filtering approaches rely on rating as fundamental computation to calculate product recommendation. However, just a little number of consumers who willing give rating for products less than a percent, according to several convince datasets such MovieLens. This problem causes of sparse product rating that will impact to product recommendation accuracy level. Sometime, in extreme condition, it is impossible to generate product recommendation. Several efforts have been conducting to handle product sparse rating, however they fail to generate product recommendation accurately when face extreme sparse data, such as matrix factorization family include SVD, NMF, SVD++. This research aims to develop a model to handle users sparse rating involving deep SDAE. One of the efforts to produce better output in handling this data sparse, our strategy is to imputing missing value by statistical method so that the input in SDAE is closer to the feasibility of data that is not too sparse. According to our experiment involve deep learning, TensorFlow, MovieLens datasets, evaluation method by root mean square error (RMSE), our approach involves reducing input missing value could address users sparse rating and increase robustness over several existing approach.

Published: April 2019

The Central Java is known as one of the important centres of batik development, and several towns and cities in the region are closely associated with batik. Those may include Pekalongan, Surakarta, Lasem, Pati, Tuban, and Semarang. Batik centres help with the sustainable development of batik in Indonesia, but –especially nowadays, efforts need to be made to pass the knowledge and skills of creating batik, so as to make it interesting, attractive, and easy. Besides, efforts are needed to retain and sustain the cultural heritage so that the Indonesian original products remain in the possession of the nation. The WIKI model enables anybody to become a contributor, putting the thoughts on batik in writing, onto the prepared WIKI. This paper discusses the application of a knowledge management method –such that of WIKI’s– that is put forward by Ikujiro Nonaka, the formulation of which is known as SECI. The good documentation of both tacit and explicit objects may enable the step-by-step tracing of knowledge, so that the original source of knowledge is known. This study also adapts a design to retrieve local knowledge and communal identity created by Chuenrudeemol, focusing on aspects of artistic, social and cultural values, and also economic values, with respect to domestic and gender issues.

Authors: Harmeet Singh Er. , Vijay Dhir Dr.
Published: April 2019

Wireless LAN is a dynamic network with large number of mobile nodes. As the traffic increases over the wireless, it will lead to number of problems like congestion and packet loss. This congestion and packet loss problems occurs due to the attacks in wireless LAN.Out of the various attacks black hole attack is most dangerous attack which drops all of the packets received from the source node and which act as a black hole in the universe. In this paper we are providing solution against this attack. We propose a Novel Hybrid and Secure Clustering Black hole Attack Mitigation Technique in Wireless LAN. This technique firstly detects the black hole attack by using threshold values against different parameters, after this clustering approach is used for secure path from source to destination by reducing overhead in the network. Most of existing mechanisms are not as efficient because by isolating black hole attack overhead is increased. A HSBM approach has remarkable advantage over these existing techniques. We simulate the proposed technique by using NS2 simulator and proved that our technique effectively detects the black hole attack in terms of throughput, packet loss, end to end packet delivery ratio, delay.Â Â

Eliciting Best Evidence from a Child Witness: A Comparative Study of the United Kingdom and India
Authors: Singh Charanjit
Published: April 2019

The successful prosecution of any criminal offence relies on evidence that proves its commission. Although the admissibility of evidence is key at first instance, the weight attached to a piece of evidence i.e. how “reliable” or “persuasive” it is will tilt the scale of justice in one or another direction. The problems with various forms of evidence i.e. that elicited from an eye or ear-witness has been thoroughly explored by academics and lawyers alike. Those same problems are potentially exacerbated where the witness is a child who has not only witnessed a gruesome crime but is required to give evidence in a forum (court) that is accompanied by intimidating surroundings. Whilst witness evidence, regardless of whether it is given by an adult or child, is a factual part of criminal justice, it is salient to note that the entire process has been made more witness-friendly in some commonwealth jurisdictions. This article explores the differences in the rules designed on eliciting best evidence from a child witness in the United Kingdom and India. In so doing, the case law from each jurisdiction is contrasted. There are two aims of the article, the first is to facilitate a conversation where one criminal justice system may learn from another’s experience. The second, a result of the first, is to make suggestions on improving the experience of a child witness in the Indian Criminal Justice Process.
Exhibiting Memories of a Besieged City. The (Uncertain) Role of Museums in Constructing Public Memory of the 1992-1995 Siege of Sarajevo
Authors: Banjeglav Tamara
Published: April 2019

The author examines museums in Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina,
and their exhibitions dealing with the city’s most traumatic event in
recent history—the 1992-1995 siege. She analyses how the interpretations
and re-interpretations of history in these museums have been affected by social,
political, cultural, and institutional contexts, and how various ‘memory
entrepreneurs’ have played a role in building the public memory of the
city’s siege. The analysis focuses on, but is not limited to, three
museums: the History Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Tunnel Museum, and
the War Childhood Museum. This discussion is supplemented by an analysis of
other museums in Sarajevo that also demonstrate how the political deadlock in
the country has affected the cultural sector. The author argues that the various
museums to have opened in Sarajevo in recent years indeed have the potential to
become crucial public spaces where authoritative notions of history, memory, and
identity can be critically examined, negotiated, and contested.

It draws on five months of fieldwork conducted in the period between two worker protests at the shipyard surrounding the late payment of wages, the second of which developed into a large-scale strike. The author describes the crises, provides historical details about the shipyard and about trade unions and other forms of worker organizing, and offers notes on the political context. He analyses the psychic landscape of the most recent crisis period, with a focus on how anxiety, fear and suspicion were manifest. Finally, he discusses rumours and the blaming strategies adopted by workers, relating them to the importance of personalized relations in the regional political economy.
Sport und Studienabbruch an Hochschulen: Eine Regressionsanalyse zur Relevanz sozialer Integration
Authors: Jetzke Malte
Published: April 2019

Außercurriculare (Sport-)Aktivitäten, in denen Studierende die Möglichkeit zur sozialen Interaktion erhalten, können über ihre Gelegenheitsstrukturen positiv zur sozialen Integration an Hochschulen beitragen. Soziale Integration kann, dem Modell of Student Retention (Tinto 1987) folgend, Studienabbruch reduzieren. Für die vorliegende Arbeit ergibt sich daraus die Fragestellung, ob im Sport soziale Beziehungen aufgebaut werden, durch die Studierende besser an der Hochschule integriert sind und in der Folge weniger zum Studienabbruch neigen. Die vorliegende Fragebogenuntersuchung einer Stichprobe von 5.011 Studierenden wird durch schrittweise multivariate Regressionsanalysen ausgewertet. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass (1) Sport einen positiven Effekt auf die soziale Integration an der Hochschule hat, davon allerdings (2) nur Sportler profitieren, die am Hochschulort aktiv sind. Zudem (3) verringert langfristige sportliche Aktivität die Wahrscheinlichkeit für einen Studienabbruch. (4) Soziale Integration wirkt in diesem Zusammenhang als Mediator.

The plants were extracted using decoction method and freeze dried. Three liquid formulas were used i.e., i) a combination of sodium CMC and sorbitol; ii) only sorbitol; iii) extract only. The rats were divided into 6 groups, i.e., positive control (sucralfate 35 mg/kg body weight); negative control (80% ethanol); normal control; and 3 formulas. After the administration of the liquid formula, all groups, except normal control, were given 80% ethanol (l5 ml/kg body weight) to induce peptic ulcer. Antipeptic ulcer activity was evaluated using direct observation on rats gastric mucosa, and histopathology assessment. The result showed that the strongest anti-peptic ulcer  was shown by sorbitol only (96.95% inhibition),  followed by the combination of sodium CMC and sorbitol (92.68% inhibition). The formula which only contained extract showed only  31.70% inhibition.  Statistical analysis showed significant differences between formula 1 and 2 with negative controls. In conclusion, A. cordifolia leaves extract with the addition of sorbitol showed the strongest anti-peptic ulcer activity. Keyword: Anredera cordifolia, peptic ulcer, suspense, Wistar rat.

OBJECTIVES:

To explore the relative contributions of genetic and environmental influences on dental caries risk and to investigate fetal and developmental risk factors for dental caries.

METHODS:

We recruited children from 250 twin pregnancies midgestation and collected demographic, health, and phenotypic data at recruitment, 24 and 36 weeks’ gestational age, birth and 18 months, and 6 years of age. 25-hydroxyvitamin D was quantified in mothers at 28 weeks’ gestation and in infants at birth. Dental caries and enamel defects were measured at six years of age. We compared concordance for the presence of any caries and advanced caries in monozygotic and dizygotic twin pairs. To investigate environmental risk factors for caries, we fitted multiple logistic regression models using generalized estimating equations to adjust for twin correlation.

RESULTS:

A total of 345 twins underwent dental assessment, with 111 (32.2%) showing signs of any caries and 83 (24.1%) having advanced caries. There was no evidence of higher concordance in monozygotic twins compared with dizygotic twins, with a difference of 0.05 (95% confidence interval −0.14 to 0.25; P = .30) and 0.00 (95% confidence interval −0.26 to 0.26; P = .50) for any caries and advanced caries, respectively, suggesting that environmental factors, rather than genetics, are the predominant determinant of caries risk. After adjusting for potential confounders, lack of community water fluoridation, hypomineralized second primary molars, dichorionic placenta, and maternal obesity were associated with caries.

CONCLUSIONS:

Environmental rather than genetic factors drive dental caries risk and arise as early as prenatal life.
The Problem of Kundalini in the Context of Yogic Aspects of the Bengali Tantric Vaisnava (Sahajiya) Tradition
Authors: Czyżykowski Robert
Published: April 2019

This article investigates the possible existence of the concept of kundalini in medieval Bengali Tantric Vaissava Sahajiya tradition. Various source materials from Vaisnava Sahajiya literature which might refer to the popular Tantric concept kundalini are esoteric and very obscure. Nevertheless, the concept of kundalini probably was not completely absent from Eastern Indian Tantric Vaisnava sources, though it was not very prominent and did not play as crucial a role as in many Saiva-Sakta traditions. It functioned more on a structural level, for example, the 'crooked river' (banka nadi) from the Yogic subtle body physiology of the Vaisnava Sahajiyas might be viewed as an equivalent of the kundalini concept. Other possibilities are also critically analysed, particularly the figure of Gandhakali as suggested by P. Dasa.
The Heroine of a Thousand Faces
Authors: Ramoo Dinesh
Published: April 2019

The hero’s journey or monomyth of Campbell (1966) has been a source of much analysis both in ancient literature across the world as well as modern ones such as the Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter. The hero’s journey is an oft-cited archetype of storytelling. This article illustrates how this archetype could be applied to an ancient Tamil epic (the Silappathikaram or Lay of the Anklet) and its female protagonist. It also shows how the monomyth could be used to harmonise the three parts of the epic, the last of which had often been claimed to be a later addition. However, looking at the epic from the perspective of the monomyth, it is clear that all three parts are integral to understanding the heroines journey. Further explorations into South Asian epic literature might yield new information on the divine feminine and its role in the heroic cycle.

No Myth far and wide:
Authors: Hüffmeier Joachim , Krumm Stefan
Published: April 2019

Skorski, Extebarria, and Thompson (2016) aim at our article on relay swimmers (Hüffmeier, Krumm, Kanthak, & Hertel, 2012). We have shown that professional freestyle swimmers at relay positions 2 to 4 swam faster in the relay than in the individual competition if they had a high chance to win a relay medal. After applying a reaction-time correction that controls for different starting procedures in relay and individual competitions, Skorski et al. (2016) conclude that swimmers in relays do not swim faster. At first sight, their results appear to show this very pattern. However, we argue that the authors’ findings and conclusion—that our finding is a myth—are not warranted. First, we have also controlled for quicker reaction times in the relay competition. Our correction has been based on the swimmers’ own reaction time data rather than on a constant reaction time estimate and is, thus, more precise than theirs. Second, Skorski et al. treat data from international and national competitions equally although national relay competitions are less attractive for the swimmers than national individual competitions. This difference likely biases their data towards slower relay times. Third, the authors select a small and arbitrary sample without explicit power considerations or a clear stopping rule. Fourth, they unfavorably aggregate their data. We conclude that the reported results are most likely due to the methodological choices by Skorski et al. and do not invalidate our findings.
Rethinking the Role of Languages in the US: Toward a More Diverse Cultural Identity
Authors: Stein-Smith Kathleen
Published: April 2019

This article examines the English-only post-colonial narrative that has driven the development of US cultural memory and cultural identity does not sufficiently allow for the presence of other languages and cultures that form part of our diverse cultural identity -- past, present, and future. It finds that the current US foreign language deficit, including both lack of necessary foreign language skills among Americans and lack of motivation among Americans -- believing that English is the global lingua franca -- to learn other languages, impacts national and economic security as well as our communities and our society. The author concludes that the resurgence of Spanish, French, and other languages as our languages, rather than foreign languages, empowers us all. Access to foreign language learning from the earliest grade levels for all interested students will not only impact our economic and national security, but will create a new, and more diverse and sustainable "English plus" American identity for generations to come.
Interlingual Interfaces in Chinese Language Learning and Its Use: Exploring Language Transfer Errors in Chinese Writing
Authors: Lan Yuting
Published: April 2019

Adopting Dulay, Burt and Krashen (1982), James (1998) and Zheng and Park (2013) 's system of error classification, this study investigates L1 transfer errors from English to Chinese based on Chinese translation texts written by intermediate-level American university students. These errors were identified and co-coded using the NVivo qualitative text analysis software program. For example, 在白天做健康的东西[事情] (do healthy things in the day.). It is coded under the subcategories of noun and misformation. Using obtained data, the NVivo program presents the frequency of error types and their attributes. The findings contribute to both theoretical and pedagogical issues by focusing on error types common to Chinese L2 learners and typically manifested in Chinese written production due to influences from English. Finally, this study sheds light on implications for instruction on different types of errors in classroom and on intercultural ambiguity.
William Butler Yeats: The Hidden Nationalism
Authors: Kitishat Amal Riyadh
Published: April 2019

W.B. Yeats the famous Anglo Irish poet and dramatist was accused of a lack of sense of nationalism. His achievements in the reviving of the Irish culture as a means to establish a dependent Irish identity was regarded with suspicions simply due to his being a descendant of Anglo -Irish origins.In this light, the study comes to shed light on Yeats’ tremendous achievements concerning his sense of nationalism and his role in the reviving Irish culture. Also, the study aims at refuting the charges against Yeats which considered him as a representative of the colonizer’s class. Finally, the study proved that Yeats revealed a mature vision of nationalism which most of his contemporaries failed to notice since they only focused on one aspect of Irish identity and neglected the other; in discussing the Irish question, they were either politicians or culturalists. Whereas Yeats shows a higher degree of awareness as he believed that establishment of an identical distinctive Irish identity must be done with having both the cultural and the national elements united in one word that is “Irishness." His national creed is rooted in a kind of cohesion between culture and nationalism. It is this conclusion that not only refuted the charges againstYeats’ nationalism but also put him in a position superior to any other Irish Nationalists.
