Community Structure, Conservation Status, and Functional Groups of Bird Species in Mbeya Range Forests, Tanzania
Authors: Ojija Fredrick , Manyanza Ndaki Marco
Published: March 2022

The Mbeya range forest reserves (MRFRs) of the southern highland of Tanzania are an important hotspot for biodiversity conservation. However, its avian biodiversity has hardly ever been studied. Thus, for the first time, this study presents the inventory of bird species from MRFRs, demonstrating community structure, functional group, and conservation status. The study was carried out in four forest areas (i.e., Idugumbi, Kawetire, Mount Loleza, and Muvwa) within the MRFRs. The bird survey was carried out monthly between March 2018 and June 2018. Standardised line and point counts, as well as mist netting, were used to collect data. A total of 1052 individual birds, representing 41 species and 22 families, were recorded. Relative abundance, Shannon and Simpson species diversity, and species richness were high in Idugumbi forest and lowest in Kawetire forest. Species diversity differed significantly between the four forest areas. Moreover, Idugumbi and Muvwa had relatively low species composition dissimilarity compared to other forest areas. Different bird functional groups, i.e., insectivores, granivores, nectarivores, carnivores, frugivores, or combinations of these, were recorded in MRFRs. The insectivores were twice as abundant as granivores and nectarivores. The multi–layered vegetation structure of native plants in the Idugumbi forest appears to benefit and contribute to bird communities. The study reveals that MRFRs are an important hotspot for bird species that require ecological monitoring and protection. As a result, appropriate land–use practices near MRFRs should be followed to ensure long–term avian conservation.

Published: March 2022

This literature review aims to inform and assist physicians and other health professionals in managing all information related to hereditary breast cancer, which is in constant and rapid growth, allowing for improvement in patient care and assistance. In addition, we seek to better identify which patients are eligible for the clinical criteria of association with risk of hereditary breast cancer, based on international recommendations and highlighting the main high and moderate penetrance genes that make up the multigenic panels for germline investigation in breast cancer, as well as the possibilities of clinical management that must be considered when complex decisions are required in clinical practice. Nowadays, there is more interest in population screening, in a greater supply of genetic tests, more genes included in multigene panels — allowing the search for genetic counseling —, apart from the need for clinical-decision support.
Breast reconstruction and radiotherapy: a literature review
Authors: Bax Maria Luiza de Oliveira Almeida , Oliveira Matheus Assis dos Anjos Bastos , Alves Calliny Cristina Pimentel , Lucena Clécio Ênio Murta de
Published: March 2022

Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women worldwide. After mastectomy, many women wish to reconstruct the affected breast and immediate breast reconstruction has been proven oncologically safe compared to mastectomy only. In addition, indications for post-mastectomy radiotherapy (PMRT) sessions are becoming more frequent, due to their relationship with reduced mortality and locoregional recurrence. For this reason, many women who opted for immediate reconstruction underwent radiotherapy with implants or expanders. The objective of this study was to compare the outcome of patients with breast cancer undergoing adjuvant radiotherapy after breast reconstruction with an implant or expander with that of patients who did not need irradiation. A literature review was carried out on the CAPES Journal Portal. The studies are unanimous when it comes to the increased risk of complications between control groups and patients who have undergone PMRT. Reconstruction failure rates were lower and the esthetic results were better in surgeries with implants compared with tissue expanders. Autologous surgeries are apparently safe and should be considered in the context of PMRT. This review did not find sufficient scientific evidence to determine the best technique and the best period for radiotherapy in PMRT indications. The choice of the surgical technique and the time of radiotherapy must be at the discretion of the surgeon and multidisciplinary team of each service, always in a shared decision with the patient.

Kemampuan berkomunikasi menggunakan bahasa Inggris adalah suatu hal yang sangat penting pada era masa kini. Untuk itu, kemampuan dalam hal ini perlu untuk diasah sejak dini, baik dari level sekolah taman kanak-kanak (TK) maupun sekolah dasar (SD). Sekolah Dasar Islam (SDI) Nurul Huda Jakarta Timur, merupakan salah satu sekolah yang menyadari hal tersebut. Dalam hal ini, SDI Nurul Huda merupakan mitra yang bekerjasama degan tim pelaksana kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarkaat (PKM) untuk melakukan sebuah kegiatan ekstrakurikuler bahasa Inggris kepada para siswa. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk mengatasi keterbatasan para siswa dalam memahami pelafalan atau pengucapan kosakata bahasa Inggris dalam ilmu berbicara (speaking). Metode kegiatan PKM ini adalah berbentuk pelatihan pelafalan bahasa Ingris dalam bentuk ceramah, praktik percakapan langsung, tanya jawab, dan diskusi. Setelah pelaksanaan PkM selesai, penulis menilai dua hal utama yakni ketepatan materi bagi peserta dan keberhasilan pelaksanaan pelatihan. Dari hasil survey yang diperoleh, dapat disimpulkan bahwa materi pelatihan mengenai pelafalan dan kosakata bahasa Inggris mampu meningkatkan kemampuan mereka untuk berkomunikasi dalam bahasa Inggris. Dari sisi penguasaan dan sikap pelatih, para peserta PkM memberikan respon positif yang menyatakan bahwa sikap pelatih ramah dan sopan selama memberikan pelatihan. Para pelatih juga sangat menguasai materi saat memberikan pelatihan kepada para siswa. Penulis berharap, pelatihan PkM dengan materi seperti ini dapat terus diberikan kepada siswa-siswi sekolah dasar di kemudian hari.

Objectives: To determine the frequency of obstructive appendicitis in patients undergoing open appendectomies for acute appendicitis. Negative appendectomy rate will also be calculated. Study Design: Cross-Sectional study. Setting: Department of General Surgery of Ayub Teaching Hospital Abbottabad. Period: September 2019 to February 2020. Material & Methods: The study population included patients of any gender, age from 10 years to 45 years found to have acute appendicitis diagnosed by clinical and ultrasound findings and confirmed by open appendectomy. Sample size of 174 was calculated, using WHO software for sample size calculation. After detailed examination and investigations, patients who underwent open appendectomy as per advice of visiting consultants were included; by filling predesigned research per forma. Results: Mean age of the patients was 26.33±11.177 and more than half were male i-e 106 (60.9%). Where majority i-e 93(53.4%) of appendices were of obstructed type, this wasn’t statistically higher than the non-obstructed type (p=0.363). In frequency of operative findings, acutely inflamed appendix was most common with 71(40.8%) patients. While suppurative, gangrenous and perforated samples were noted in 55(31.6%), 13(7.5%) and 8(4.6%) cases respectively. Negative appendectomy was done in 27(15.5%) patients. Conclusion: This study concluded that obstruction was noted in more than half of the cases i-e 93(53.4%), but it was not statistically higher from the other subtype. Negative appendectomy rate was 15.5%; higher than globally set target, but was similar to the one noted in Pakistan by previous researchers.

The ectocervix is the part of the uterus which plunges into the apex of the vagina. A stratified squamous epithelium covers it. The endocervical canal, which establishes communication between the vagina and the endometrial cavity, is paved with a mucous secreting glandular epithelium. Because of the acidity of the vagina, these two epithelia undergo metaplasia. Some oncogenic factors do ignite instead of dysplasia. CIN1, CIN2, and CIN3 correspond to the premalignant transformation of 1/3, 2/3 and 3/3 of these epithelia from the basal membrane. Invasive Cancer is when the latter is broken, and there is a penetration of the stroma by the malignant cells. Methodology: A retrospective hospital-based study was conducted to establish the prevalence of various cervical malignancies at the Buea regional hospital. The registry of the pathology department was used. The study spanned from the 8th of March 2017 to the 16th of March 2021. Results: The different cervical cancer types found were squamous cell carcinoma, small cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, and non-Hodgkin cervical cancer or lymphoma of the cervix. Their respective percentages were 73%, 20.7%, 5.4% and 0.9%. Conclusion: Four different types of cancers were found in this study. Their prevalence was for squamous cell carcinoma (73%), small cell carcinoma (20.7%), adenocarcinoma (5.4%), and non-Hodgkin carcinoma of the cervix (0.9%).
Menanamkan Karakter Gemar Membaca pada Anak Melalui Gerakan Literasi Sekolah (GLS) di SD Negeri 131 Kota Jambi

Published: March 2022

Introduction. Based on the results of the TIMSS and PIRLS survey obtained that the literacy ability of Indonesian students is in a state of concern, so one of the efforts made by the Indonesian government through the Ministry of Education and Culture is by issating the School Literacy Movement (GLS). The School Literacy Movement is an effort made thoroughly to make the school as a learning organization whose citizens are literate throughout life through public involvement. The lack of awareness of students to read results in the urgency of literacy needing to be instilled from elementary school age.

Research Method. This study used descriptive qualitative methods with the determination of the subject purposive sampling.

Result and Discussion. The results showed that SD Negeri 131 Kota Jambi has a GLS strategy in instilling reading character that is done through three (3) stages, namely the habituation stage, development and learning stages. At the habituation stage to familiarize children to read without a bill, the development stage to form reading interests with non-academic bills and the learning stage with academic bills. The impact of GLS strategy in instilling the character of reading in students in State Elementary School 131 can be said that GLS activities begin to instill a favorite or penchant for reading seen from the feeling of pleasure to read, the need for students to read, the desire to always read, the act of finding reading and follow-up. Supporting factors in the implementation of GLS are the active role of all school residents, educator training, the role of parents of students in the form of book donation and involvement in literacy activities and support from outside parties, namely Tanoto foundation, mobile library and student participation in the Evergreen Reading House program. An inhibitory factor is the absence of a dedicated space for libraries as well as different students' reading interests. Efforts to overcome these obstacles are to make a corner of the library as a temporary replacement for the library and make reading angles in each class and the need for commitment of all parties in running literacy programs.
Environmental conflicts and cultural misunderstandings in a Buenos Aires wetland settlement
Authors: Wertheimer Marina
Published: March 2022

This article aims to contribute to the ongoing debate on the politics of reclaiming the commons and resisting extractivism, drawing on a case of environmental conflict and ontological equivocations in the Metropolitan Area of Buenos Aires. On the south of the City of Buenos Aires, the Techint Group plans to build a real estate project by promising progress and development for an area affected by numerous environmental problems. This project spurred social mobilizations led by neighbors and local organizations, who denounced the environmental and housing impacts. Drawing on an anthropological approach, I investigate what happens when a consensus cannot be reached regarding the solution to — or even the very nature of — an environmental “problem.” Finally, I reflect on the need for a new cosmopolitics that can transcend the cultural misunderstandings that arise from the fact that “the various collectives that populate the world do not really understand the fundamental questions that engage other collectives” (Descola 2012).

The Basque writer Eider Rodríguez, born in 1977 into a working-class village (Renteria, Gipuzkoa) where the political and social climate of the 1980s and 1990s was marked by the arrival of heroin into the lives of young people trapped between high unemployment rates and the ETA’s armed struggle, emerged as a breath of fresh air amid so much pain. Speaking of difficult issues can be healing, and Eider Rodriguez’s oeuvre reveals an author who writes in order to dig into our wounds and help us think about how to heal them.
PREDICTING SCREENING AND CLASSIFICATION PRODUCTS VIA THE PSEUDORANDOM NUMBER SELECTION ROUTINE
Authors: Camalan Mahmut
Published: March 2022

Screening and classification are performed for the separation of particles by their sizes. There are empirical, phenomenological, and numerical models for predicting the size distributions of screening/classification products. This paper introduces a new algorithm for the same purpose, which partially mimics phenomenological and numerical models. The algorithm iteratively selects the monosize fractions with pre-defined probabilities, then carries particle masses from the selected fractions either to the oversize or undersize product. The applicability of the algorithm was validated against the product size distributions of some industrial-scale screening/classification operations provided in the literature. The results show that the algorithm is predictive if each particle has a selection probability proportional to the mass of its monosize fraction and some power of its diameter. Results also suggest that vibrating screens can provide the sharpest size separation.
Investigation of factors affecting hearing loss of open pit coal mine employees with categorical data analyses

Published: March 2022

One of the most important occupational diseases encountered in mining is the noise induced hearing loss (NIHL). In this study, analyses were carried out to examine the NIHL in the open pit lignite mine in Turkey. The NIHL was evaluated in accordance with the miners’ age, experience, occupation, exposure value (Lex), and maximum noise level (Lpeak). Noise levels exposed the employees were measured with noise dosimeters and a hearing test was applied to the employees by a special hearing center. To determine the parameters that could be effective in NIHL, all of the obtained data were evaluated by the logistic regression analysis (LRA) and hierarchical log-linear analysis (HLA) methods. It was determined that the NIHL probability of field staff is approximately 6 times higher than operators and drivers. According to the 21-29 age group, it was found that the probability of NIHL in the 57-65 and in the 48-56 age group was 11.4 and 4.41 times higher, respectively. Experience and maximum noise levels were found to be the most important parameters in hearing loss. Besides these, it was determined that the interactions of age×experience, occupation×maximum noise levels, and occupation×average noise exposure levels increased the likelihood of NIHL. A logistic regression model has been developed for the NIHL estimation of employees and hearing loss was found to be a problem mostly for those working in the field. It was determined that hearing loss increased with age and experience, and varied according to occupational groups.
Vessel nozzle parameter effects analysis on the ore transportation concentration for deep-sea mining

Published: March 2022

As it is difficult to control the ore volume concentration of pump-vessel combined ore transporting equipment for deep-sea mining during the ore pulp conveying process and it can’t remain continuous, stable and reliable in the process, the SIMPLE algorithm is adopted to calculate and analyze the rules of the vessel nozzle parameters effects on the ore transportation concentration and conveying efficiency based on the Euler-Euler model of the Fluent software and standard turbulence model, and the conclusion is experimentally verified that ore transportation volume concentrations can be controlled and adjusted by controlling vessel nozzle parameters. Simulation results are drawn as follows: with the vessel nozzle diameter bigger, the ore transportation volume concentration becomes bigger and the water jet impacting force on ores becomes weaker so that the transporting process gets more stable. With the nozzle outlet height from the vessel bottom greater, the ore transportation volume concentration also becomes bigger, but the transporting process gets less stable. When the nozzle outlet height from the vessel bottom equals to 800 millimeters or 900 millimeters, it can ensure that the ore transportation volume concentration get bigger and the transporting process gets stable simultaneously.

Various positive responses and government efforts in overcoming the impacts caused by the Covid-19 pandemic in various aspects of the field. The status of the Covid-19 outbreak in Indonesia itself has been determined through Presidential Decree Number 11 of 2020 concerning the Determination of Public Health Emergency of Corona Virus Disease 2019 (Covid-19) and Presidential Decree Number 12 of 2020 concerning Determination of Non-natural Disasters for the Spread of Corona Virus Disease 2019 (Covid-19) as a National Disaster. However, the process of distributing social assistance by the government experienced various obstacles or the heavy disbursement of funds during the pandemic made the Corruption Eradication Commission act quickly in arresting several persons who misappropriated funds. Corruption committed during the Covid-19 pandemic emergency (non-natural disaster) is very detrimental and must be held criminally responsible for its actions. Therefore, it is important to know whether criminal responsibility for corruption perpetrators of social assistance during this pandemic has a deterrent effect or not. Considering that the Covid-19 emergency period has been designated by the government as a national disaster so that it fulfills the requirements for the phrase 'certain circumstances' contained in Article 2 paragraph 2 of Law Number 31 of 1999. This study uses a normative juridical method, namely examining laws and regulations, theory and legal concepts. The results of this study are to find out whether perpetrators of corruption during the Covid-19 period can be sentenced to prison and fines or even the death penalty.

Along with the times and the rapid advancement of technology and information, it has led to the emergence of financial services using information technology. This progress can encourage developments in life to modernizing society. This certainly has a positive impact such as helping and making it easier to complete work for financial technology (fintech) business actors. However, it still has a negative impact in the form of crime by using electronic media as a crime tool. Crimes that are increasingly prevalent in society are fraud through electronic media and information such as online loan fraud, which causes a lot of harm to the community. This illegal online loan is an illustration of the simplification of the financing system which is facilitated by attractive offers without complicated bureaucracy, which turned out to be a time bomb for the community because it ensnared various complex problems in it. This research is normative research using an approach based on laws. The lack of legal protection for online fund borrowers has resulted in various legal phenomena that arise and become friction within the community, inadequate regulations have resulted in many business actors in the field of financial technology arbitrarily carrying out their business practices without considering the safety and legal protection of users of loan services online. The number of start-up business actors who run the online loan business and do not pay attention to licensing or illegal activities has the potential to cause problems because they are not subject to existing regulations, the absence of supervision and guidance for financial technology business actors causes a lack of control of business traffic in the financial technology sector. this financial technology.

Democracy is a spirit that reflects that the people hold the highest authority in a country. Indonesia has implemented two Presidential Election systems, namely indirectly and directly (after the Reformation period). However, the phenomenon that is happening right now, the direct election of the President and Vice-President has turned out to be polemic because many parties consider it to conflict with the fourth precepts of the Pancasila. The fourth precepts value of Pancasila is interpreted as an implementation of the Presidential Election system which must be represented through the MPR institution. Related to the problem above the problem to be answered is the controversy over the presidential election system directly and indirectly in terms of the four precepts of the Pancasila. The problem was answered using the method normative legal research and analyzed qualitatively by describing, then comparing data with statutory provisions and the opinions of constitutional law experts. In this study, it was concluded that there was no contradiction between the Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution in the implementation of the Presidential election system implemented in Indonesia, both the direct and indirect presidential election system. Every democratic process based on the principle of people's sovereignty is carried out through consensus and agreement through a constitutional system based on Pancasila values. This happened in the direct Presidential election system which is the desire of the people conveyed to their representatives in the DPR.
Non-fungibility reduces the attractiveness of risk-reducing payments among rural workers: a lab-in-the-field experiment in Colombia
Authors: Cano Alexander , Cortes Darwin , Mantilla Cesar , Prada-Medina Laura , Restrepo Medardo
Published: March 2022

We conduct a lab-in-the-field experiment in which 214 Colombian rural workers must choose between cash or a voucher payment for completing a real-effort task. Although the voucher may be perceived as non-fungible, it halves the probability of suffering a negative shock that will reduce the participant's payment by two-thirds. We hold constant the cash payment and explore four different voucher values that, in expectation, range from 88% to 123% of the cash payment. We find that take-up rates go from 32% to 56%, from the least to the more generous voucher. These rates are consistently larger compared to a reference sample of undergrad students from the same region. Our between-subjects variations reveal that presenting the vouchers in descending order yields a higher take-up than the ascending order, which we interpret as an endowment effect of the voucher's risk reduction.

Moralization of rationality can stimulate sharing of hostile and false news on social media, but intellectual humility inhibits it
Authors: Marie Antoine , Petersen Michael Bang
Published: March 2022

Many assume that if citizens were more inclined to moralize the values of evidence-based and logical thinking, they would be less likely to share politically hostile, conspiratorial, and false claims on social media. In contrast, on the basis of theories of status seeking and persuasion, we argue that moralization of rationality may actually stimulate the spread of hostile partisan news online, including fabricated claims. Across three large surveys (N = 4800) run on U.S. respondents (one exploratory and two pre-registered), we provide empirical evidence for this prediction and demonstrate that the moralization of rationality can be a form of moral grandstanding by status seekers inclined to spread hostile (mis)information to reach partisan goals. In contrast to such grandstanding with respect to rationality, our studies find robust evidence that intellectual humility—that is, the awareness that intuitions are fallible and that trusting others is often desirable—may protect people from both sharing and believing hostile and false political news online.
Selecting on the professor? A conjoint experiment on gender and racial bias at the doorway to the political science classroom
Authors: Turnbull-Dugarte Stuart James
Published: March 2022

A large body of literature demonstrates that woman and racially diverse university instructors are often subjected to systematic discrimination during the teaching evaluation process. In this short paper, I test whether biases against woman and non-white instructors also play a role before students actually enter the classroom by assessing whether students' preferences for elective modules are influenced by the gender or race of the instructor. Leveraging a conjoint experiment among first-year undergraduates at a Russell Group university in the UK, and against the pre-registered hypotheses, I find that students' preferences for elective modules are not influenced by the gender or racial profile of the instructor.

Authors: Giofrè David , Boedker Ingrid , Cumming Geoff , Rivella Carlotta , Tressoldi Patrizio
Published: March 2022

Changes in statistical practices and reporting have been documented by Giofrè et al. (2017), who investigated ten statistical and open practices in two high-ranking journals (Psychological Science [PS] and Journal of Experimental Psychology-General [JEPG]): null hypothesis significance testing; confidence or credible intervals; meta-analysis of the results of multiple experiments; confidence interval interpretation; effect size interpretation; sample size determination; data exclusion; data availability; materials availability; and preregistered design and analysis plan. The investigation was based on an analysis of all papers published in these journals between 2013 and 2015. The aim of the present study was to follow up changes in both PS and JEPG in subsequent years, from 2016 to 2020, adding code availability as a further open practice. We found improvement in most practices, with some exceptions (i.e., confidence interval interpretation and meta-analysis). Despite these positive changes, our results indicate a need for further improvements in statistical practices and adoption of open practices.
On the relation between religiosity and the endorsement of conspiracy theories: The role of political orientation
Authors: Frenken Marius , Bilewicz Michał , Imhoff Roland
Published: March 2022

Religious and conspiracy beliefs share the feature of assuming powerful forces that determine the fate of the world. Correspondingly, they have been theorized to address similar psychological needs and be based on similar cognitions, but there exist little authoritative answers about their relationship. We delineate two theory-driven possibilities. If conspiracy theories and religions serve as surrogates for each other by fulfilling similar needs, the two beliefs should be negatively correlated. If conspiracy and religious beliefs stem from the same values and cognitions, this would speak for a positive correlation that might be diminished—for example—by controlling for shared political ideologies. We approached the question with a meta-analysis (N = 10,242), partial correlations from large Christian-dominated datasets from Germany, Poland, and the USA (N = 12,612), and a preregistered US-study (N = 500). The results indicate that the correlations between religiosity and conspiracy theory endorsement were positive and political orientation shared large parts of this covariance. Correlations of religiosity with the more need-related conspiracy mentality differed between countries. We conclude that similarities in the explanatory style and ideologies seem to be central for the relation between intrinsic religiosity and endorsing conspiracy theories, but psychological needs only play a minor role.
A tutorial on fitting joint models of M/EEG and behavior to understand cognition

Published: March 2022

We present motivation and practical steps necessary to find parameter estimates of joint models of behavior and neural electrophysiological data. This tutorial is written for researchers wishing to build joint models of human behavior and scalp and intracranial electroencephalographic (EEG) or magnetoencephalographic (MEG) data, and more specifically those researchers who seek to understand human cognition. Although these techniques could easily be applied to animal models, the focus of this tutorial is on human participants. Joint modeling of M/EEG and behavior requires some knowledge of existing computational and cognitive theories, M/EEG artifact correction, M/EEG analysis techniques, cognitive modeling, and programming for statistical modeling implementation. This paper seeks to give an introduction to these techniques as they apply to estimating parameters from neurocognitive models of M/EEG and human behavior, and to evaluate model results and compare models. Due to our research and knowledge on the subject matter, our examples in this paper will focus on testing specific hypotheses in human decision-making theory. However most of the motivation and discussion of this paper applies across many modeling procedures and applications. We provide Python (and linked R) code examples in the tutorial and appendix. Readers are encouraged to try the exercises at the end of the document.
Instrumental Goal Activation Increases Online Petition Support Across Languages
Authors: Markowitz David Matthew
Published: March 2022

Research on processing fluency and instrumental goal activation suggests people often perceive complex information positively when effort in a task is valued. The current paper evaluates this idea in five online petition samples (total N = 1,047,655 petitions and over 200 million words), assessing how the linguistic fluency of a petition associates with support. Consistent with prior work, petitions with lower rates of lexical fluency (fewer common words) associated with more signatures and an increased probability of petitions making concrete change than those with higher rates of lexical fluency (more common words). Exploratory results suggest other forms of linguistic complexity also associated with petition support: petitions written with less stylistic fluency (a more analytical and complex communication style) and with less structural fluency (less readable writing) received more signatures than those with more stylistic fluency and more structural fluency. Controlling for the political leaning of the petition writers as inferred by their language patterns revealed consistent effects. Crucially, the lexical fluency effects were maintained across 8 languages as well. Various types of linguistic complexity are therefore instrumental to get people to support online causes.
No effect of the smell of hexanal on trust in human-robot interaction

The level of interpersonal trust among people is partially determined through the sense of smell. Hexanal, a molecule which smell resembles freshly cut grass, can increase trust in people. Here, we ask the question if smell can be leveraged to facilitate human-robot interaction and test whether hexanal also increases the level of trust during collaboration with a social robot. In a preregistered double-blind, placebo-controlled study, we tested if trial-by-trial and general trust during perceptual decision making in collaboration with a social robot is affected by hexanal across two samples (n = 46 and n = 44). It was hypothesized that unmasked hexanal and hexanal masked by eugenol, a molecule with a smell resembling clove, would increase the level of trust in human-robot interaction, compared to eugenol alone or a control condition consisting of only the neutral smelling solvent propylene glycol. Contrasting previous findings in human interaction, no significant effect of unmasked or eugenol-masked hexanal on trust in robots was observed. These findings indicate that the conscious or nonconscious impact of smell on trust might not generalise to interactions with social robots. One explanation could be category- and context-dependency of smell leading to a mismatch between the natural smell of hexanal, a smell also occurring in human sweat, and the mechanical physical or mental representation of the robot.
L2-orthogonal Space-Time Code Design for Continuous Phase Modulation
Authors: Hesse Matthias
Published: March 2022

Orthogonal Space-Time block codes (STBC) have been a popular way to implement wireless communications systems with full diversity and simple decoupled maximumlikelihood decoding. However, all these codes rely on pointwise orthogonality which leads to a well-known degradation of data rate for more than two antennas.In this thesis, we introduce the concept of L2-orthogonality for non-linear Space Time codes (STC). Our approach generalizes code design based on pointwise orthogonality. Hence, we are able to derive new codes with the same advantages as pointwise orthogonal STBC, i.e. low decoding complexity and diversity gain. At the same time, we are no longer limited by the restrictions of pointwise orthogonal codes, namely the reduction in data rate. Actually, we show how to construct full rate codes for any arbitrary number of transmit antennas. More precisely, a family of codes for continuous phase modulation (CPM) is detailed. The L2-orthogonality of these codes is ensured by a bank of phase correction functions which maintains the phase continuity but also introduces frequency offsets. We prove that these codes achieve full diversity and have full rate. Moreover, these codes do not put any restriction on the CPM parameters.

Sumber daya alam yang sangat dibutuhkan manusia adalah air. Ketersediaan air tawar atau air bersih mengalami kelangkaan seiring dengan pertumbuhan penduduk. Salah satu sumber air tawar yang menjadi perhatian adalah sungai. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kondisi tutupan lahan, aktivitas masyarakat serta menganalisis kaitannya dengan kualitas perairan Sungai Subayang tahun 2017-2020. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan di wilayah Sub-sub Daerah Aliran Sungai (DAS) Subayang, Kecamatan Kampar Kiri Hulu, Kabupaten Kampar pada Juni-Agustus 2021. Data primer penelitian didapatkan melalui observasi lapangan dan wawancara. Data sekunder meliputi data tutupan lahan bersumber dari KLHK dan data pengkuran kualitas air Sungai Subayang 2017-2020 bersumber dari Tim Fresh Water and Fisheries WWF Indonesia- Central Sumatra. Sampel pengamatan dari bagian hulu ke hilir berada di desa Aur Kuning, Batu Songgan dan Tanjung Belit. Penentuan status mutu kualitas air sungai dianalisis menggunakan pendekatan Indeks Pencemaran (IP) berdasarkan Peraturan Menteri Lingkungan Hidup Nomor 115 tahun 2003, dan penentuan baku mutu berdasarkan Peraturan Pemerintah Nomor 22 Tahun 2021. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa berdasarkan parameter suhu, kecepatan aliran sungai (arus), kekeruhan, oksigen terlarut, dan pH dari tahun 2017-2020, air Sungai Subayang berada pada kualitas baik dengan Indeks Pencemaran (IP) berkisar 0,27-0,80 (memenuhi nilai baku mutu kelas 2). Kualitas perairan yang baik tersebut berkaitan dan dipengaruhi oleh kondisi tutupan lahan yang masih didominasi hutan (97-99,15%), praktek pemanfaatan hutan dan sungai berbasis kearifan lokal, serta mulai membaiknya pengelolaan limbah dan aktivitas MCK oleh masyarakat.
