Article attempts to describe and explain in detail the changes in traders' behavior afterRevitalization of Blok III Pasar Raya Padang. Informants were selected using purposive sampling techniqueand in data collection used observation techniques and in-depth interviews. The results showed an increasinglygood physical market change such as the presence of merchant zoning, market floors that had been usingceramics, increasingly good lavatories, better prayer rooms, extensive merchant stalls, cleanliness and marketsecurity. Market changes bring changes in the behavior of traders both in serving buyers such as hours of goingand going home trading, strategies to serve buyers and how to increase merchant merchant turnover. Thebetter and more organized physical changes make the behavior of traders more orderly and cleaner. There aremany ways for traders to dispose of trash, such as throwing trash into the trash can, putting it in a sack, andputting it next to the tavern so that it is not included. Market revitalization influences the relationship betweentraders before being revitalized which is increasingly distant due to the distance between old traders.

Abstract: This study analyzes the pattern of gender relations and community resilience in the development of micro enterprises in Tanjung Mutiara District, Agam Regency. The analysis was carried out at the household and community level by conducting interviews with women entrepreneurs, FGDs with women's micro-business groups and limited observation of the conditions of the living environment and the social context of the South Tiku community. The results showed that in general there was a clear division of labor between men and women. Men are involved in temporary productive activities of women in reproductive activities. As a result, women do a greater variety of jobs with a longer duration than men. Productive businesses carried out by women are considered to be only part of the reproductive ladder, so that male involvement and participation are also very low and make women's burdens more severe. Gender relations at the household and community level are relatively equal, this is because women have access and control over resources and also the values ​​and norms that develop in the community facilitate the creation of equality. However, changes in attitudes that are more gender sensitive to the actor's level have not been followed by changes at the community level. It is recommended that an effort to raise awareness for men both at the household and community level is more gender sensitive. Both efforts to provide assistance to micro-enterprises carried out by women need to be optimized especially for individuals or groups of women who really want to develop their businesses.

Published: September 2020

One of the problems experienced by young women is anemia during menstruation. Iron (Fe) supplementation can be used to improve their hemoglobin status. The problem is that many young women do not know this and therefore do not take iron (Fe) supplements to solve anemia problems. One effort that can be done is giving iron (Fe) supplements in schools. This article presents the results of research on efforts to provide iron (Fe) supplements in schools to young women when menstruating. The research question is what programs can be done in schools to provide iron (Fe) supplements to young women who experience anemia due to menstruation. Using  a quasi-experimental method, the results showed that giving iron (Fe) supplements to adolescent girls who had anemia due to menstruation could be done at school: after the officers gave iron supplements (Fe) there was a significant difference in hemoglobin levels before and after being given Fe tablets in theexperimenttal group (p. <0.05), and there was a significant difference in hemoglobin levels in the case and control groups (p <0.05). Routine administration of Fe tablets every week in processing is effective in increasing hemoglobin levels in adolescent girls.

PUBLIC PROCUREMENT IN AFRICA AND THE INTEGRITY QUESTION: TOWARDS AN ETHICAL NARRATIVE
Authors: Ogar Tom Eneji , Idagu Ushie Abel
Published: September 2020

This work is an analysis of public procurement and the role integrity and ethics plays in enhancing effectiveness and efficiency of the procurement system. The paper situates that though public procurement is a worldwide exercise where government spends public funds for the procurement of goods works and services, for the good of the people, inefficiencies has trailed the procurement system in most developing countries of Africa. Some of these countries have taken some steps to reform the sector, but there are still noticeable challenges and obstacles to a full maximization of the goals of a good procurement system. One of the major challenges, identified has been that of a dearth of integrity and ethical consciousness on the part of procurement professionals and stakeholders alike. It is essential that public procurement professional and stake holders adhere to a well-defined and established code of ethics. Ethics are the principles which defines behaviours as right, good and appropriate. Employees in public service are expected to uphold certain core values and any attempt to pursue personal interest using conduct that are not consistent with the proper discharge of the employee’s duties is a breach of the public trust. In the public sector where procurement is funded by public expenditure, it is imperative that procurement operates with integrity, transparency and professionalism. In most African countries, Nigeria, Uganda, Tanzania to mention a few, the ethos of an efficient system devoid of unethical behaviours by professionals has been far from achieved. The procurement systems have therefore been plagued by integrity and ethical issues leading to unwholesome and undesirable situations. A review of related literatures to these topics was carried out with a view to carry out a contextual analysis in addressing the specific issues under study. This work is therefore significant as it tried to apply ethics to a fundamental aspect of governance which is the procurement of goods, services and works for the ultimate benefits of the populace.
4D Scanning - Dynamic View on Body Measurements
Authors: Klepser Anke , Morlock Simone
Published: September 2020

Fitting test in movement are an important issue not only in work and sports wear since garment should not restrict the range of motion. Therefore, dynamic anthropometry is a major research topic. Until now, only static position could be captured. Still, it is not known how body geometry changes in dynamic movement. In IGF project “Mobilityrestrictions” photogrammetry scanner “Little Alice” was investigated regarding 4D. It enables serial recording in seconds. The aim of the research project was beside other to identify differences between static and dynamic body measurements.
Scanner “Little Alice” has never been utilized for body form analysis. Therefore, a basic research was performed. Several parameters were examined by iterative tests before scan procedure was defined. Three work or sport related movements were defined and compared to standard position: Biceps curl, leg flex and squat. The changes in scan surface were investigated by a three-step analysis: body measurements, cross sections and a 3D analysis. Scan procedure was performed by six test subjects German sizes 50 and 58, age group 25 – 55 years.
The results show that photogrammetry can be utilized to investigate body geometry changes due to movement. Body surface deviations have been investigated. Thus, not in all cases there were differences between static and dynamic scans. Yet, body geometry alters. 4D scanning enables comprehensive analysis of body geometry changes due to movement. Body measurement and surface alterations can be visualized and quantified. Scans of motions may be used to validate 3D simulation avatars.
Characterization of the thermophysiological comfort of duvets in consideration of the bed cave
Authors: Wölfling Bianca , Classen Edith
Published: September 2020

Sleep is a fundamental need for humans. On average 1/3 of the lifetime is spent in bed. Important for a healthy sleep is the duvet. This should have sufficient heat insulation and should ensure a dry bed climate at the same time. The thermophysiological comfort of classic duvets can be rated via skin model and thermal manikin. The simultaneous detection of dry and moist heat flux of duvets is at the moment not possible.
The lecture presents results of the German funded project AiF 19522 N “Bed Cave and Comfort”. Within the project the interaction of thermophysiological comfort during sleeping and the bed cave was investigated. Duvets with different filling materials (down and feathers, polyester, animal hair as well as new developments) were examined according the classical, thermophysiological evaluation method for sleep comfort. Furthermore, a new evaluation method for duvets with the sweating, thermal manikin Sherlock (Newton type, Thermetrics) was developed. During the measurement, a realistic sleep situation can be reconstructed with the sweating, thermal manikin. Additionally, a method for recording and quantifying of the bed cave via 3D scanning was established. By generating cross-sections from 3D scans, it was possible for the first time to visualize and measure the bed cave as layer between a human and the duvet. All measured data were validated by monitored sleep test within a climatic chamber.

Published: September 2020

Tackling hunger is a challenge for many African governments because of its endemic nature on the continent. Many African countries have found it difficult to achieve significant reductions in hunger and malnutrition since 1990. In this paper, we review the progress of African countries in the fight against hunger over the past three decades, using the Global Hunger Index (GHI) scores. Ghana had the best GHI improvement (-53.1%) while Zimbabwe and Central African Republic had slightly increased GHI scores (+1.6%). Within this time period, few countries had significant reductions in their GHI scores, while some suffered increases. Furthermore, in assessing the three indicators of GHI: (i) prevalence of undernourishment (percent population), (ii) prevalence of stunting in children (%) and (iii) prevalence of wasting in children (%), we found that no country in Africa was able to achieve all three targets. Six countries (Tunisia, Ghana, South Africa, Morocco, Mauritius and Algeria) were able to achieve targets for two of these while the majority achieved only one. We present country-level evidence of clear links between GHI scores with score for human development, social protection and terrorism. Some challenges that made the zero hunger target a difficult task in Africa are reviewed while opportunities for moving the continent towards the zero-hunger target by 2030 are also explored.
Modeling and Analysis of Additional Clear Channel Assessment to Improve Performance of IEEE 802.15.4-based MAC Protocol
Authors: Asuti Manjunath G. , Basarkod Prabhugoud I.
Published: September 2020

Design of the MAC protocol is crucial in all wireless sensor networks (WSNs) due to its inﬂuence on the performance of the transceiver, i.e. the most energy-consuming component of each sensor node. A mechanism known as “carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance” (CSMA/CA) is used for accessing the wireless channel in the IEEE 802.15.4 standard-based MAC protocol in order to avoid collisions between the network’s communicating nodes. CSMA/CA relies on two clear channel assessments (CCA=2) for checking the status of the channel. In this paper, we develop an additional CCA algorithm for the two scenarios encountered in star topology-enabled WSNs. Next, we investigate the impact of an additional clear channel assessment (CCA=3) on performance in IEEE 802.15.4. We develop a Markov chain model for the proposed methodology, and validate it using Matlab. Simulation results show that there is a signiﬁcant improvement of performance metrics in the IEEE 802.15.4 standard-based MAC protocol with an additional CCA
Fuzzy-based Description of Computational Complexity of Central Nervous Systems
Authors: Prokopowicz Piotr , Mikołajewski Dariusz , Tyburek Krzysztof , Kotlarz Piotr
Published: September 2020

Computational intelligence algorithms are currently capable of dealing with simple cognitive processes, but still remain ineﬃcient compared with the human brain’s ability to learn from few exemplars or to analyze problems that have not been deﬁned in an explicit manner. Generalization and decision-making processes typically require an uncertainty model that is applied to the decision options while relying on the probability approach. Thus, models of such cognitive functions usually interact with reinforcement-based learning to simplify complex problems. Decision-makers are needed to choose from the decision options that are available, in order to ensure that the decision-makers’ choices are rational. They maximize the subjective overall utility expected, given by the outcomes in diﬀerent states and weighted with subjective beliefs about the occurrence of those states. Beliefs are captured by probabilities and new information is incorporated using the Bayes’ law. Fuzzy-based models described in this paper propose a diﬀerent – they may serve as a point of departure for a family of novel methods enabling more effective and neurobiologically reliable brain simulation that is based on fuzzy logic techniques and that turns out to be useful in both basic and applied sciences. The approach presented provides a valuable insight into understanding the aforementioned processes, doing that in a descriptive, fuzzy-based manner, without presenting a complex analysis

The participants were four Sundanese families in Bandung City, who identify its family members are Sundanese and are confirmed by the surrounding community as Sundanese. Data were analyzed with thematic analysis. The result uncovered five themes: 1) accommodating conflict strategy or “silih narima” 2.) positive communication 3.) the emotional intimacy 4.) knowing (philosophy of life) or “neang elmu” 5.) the social support of the family of origin. The implication of these findings is discussed.
«Soft—hard» strategy to construct a pyrazine sulfonic acid copper(II) supramolecular structure and a study of its fluorescent property
Authors: Zheng Z. , Xu P. , Jiang Y. , Liang Y.-J. , Li J.-X.
Published: September 2020

The design and synthesis of functional heterocyclic sulfonic acid polymers would provide much help in studying the coordination behavior, structural optimization, and application of the polymers. In this work, a three-dimensional (3D) supramolecular structure [Na2Cu(P—SO3)4]n (P—SO3H = pyrazine sulfonic acid) is synthesized by a hydrothermal method with the «soft—hard» strategy. The produced polymer is characterized by the elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, and X-ray crystallography. Crystal diffraction data indicate that the polymer belongs to the P4/ncc space group. Notably, the introduction of a soft alkali metal ion can trigger the specific affinity binding with sulfonate oxygen atoms to give rise to a Na—O-μ4 bridging pattern. The flexible bridging pattern combined with the rigid structure of copper pyrazine sulfonate is likely to be responsible for the production of the final 3D supramolecular structure. Moreover, powder X-ray diffraction data indicated a good phase purity. Thermal stability, Raman features as well as solid-state fluorescent properties are also investigated in detail.

Published: September 2020

The coordination behavior of metal ions coordinated with heterocyclic sulfonic acid is of great significance for the construction of functional sulfonate polymers and the exploration of their potential application. In this study, two novel Ag(I)-based supramolecular structures, namely {[Ag2(4,4'-bipy)2][Ag2(P—SO3)4]·H2O}n (1) and {[Ag(dpp)](P—SO3)·H2O}n (2) (4,4'-bipy = 4,4'-bipyridine, dpp = 1,3-di(4-pyridyl)propane, and P—SO3H = pyrazine sulfonic acid) are synthesized using bis(pyridyl) ancillary ligands to assist the P—SO3H main ligand by the solvent evaporation method. The single crystal X-ray diffraction data indicate that the assynthesized polymers belong to P-1 and P21/n space groups, respectively. In particular, the application of bis(pyridyl) ancillary ligands specifically improves the rigidity and coordination ability of pyrazine sulfonate, and then, it combines with the generated weak interaction to further extend the structure to higher dimensions. Powder X-ray diffraction results and related data, including Raman spectra, thermal stability and solid-state fluorescence characterizations, are also discussed.

The Emerging Threats and Opportunities for Implementing Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and Sustainable Development Goal 7: Policy Insights from sub-Saharan Africa and Malawi
Authors: Chirambo Dumisani
Published: September 2020

Aim: Despite the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) to reduce climate change vulnerability and inequality particularly in the Global South, it is probable that the SDGs and NDCs might not achieve their objectives. The aim of this article is to identify how countries in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) can address their climate change governance and cross-sector coordination challenges in order to reduce climate change vulnerability and augment SDG 7 (universal energy access) implementation.

 

Design / Research methods: A qualitative content analysis was undertaken using research articles, project reports, a case study and policy briefs exploring the nexus of climate change governance, SDG 7 implementation and SDG 13 implementation in the context of SSA and Malawi.

 

Conclusions / findings: The study suggests that climate change governance and attaining SDG 7 in the Global South might be improved by harmonising NDC activities so that NDC activities can be aggregated and monitored from a regional perspective similar to the case of the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) Programmes of Activities (PoAs).

 

Originality / value of the article: The paper is of value to global policy makers as it shows that increasing climate change ambitions and ratcheting-up in the context of SSA should include increasing the deployment of renewable energy technologies as well as initiating new international institutional arrangements for climate change governance through South-South Climate Change Cooperation modalities.

Keywords: Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), climate finance, renewable energy, South-South Climate Change Cooperation, Sustainable Development, Malawi.

Published: September 2020

Studies indicate that in recent times, many working adults have combined family and work roles but they find it difficult to effectively execute their duties. This is due to the fact that these roles are incompatible, and therefore cause work-family conflict which has adverse concerns for both employees and organizations. This study therefore examined effects of work-family conflict on job performance in a selected bank in Ghana. It is a cross-sectional study and it employed the quantitative research method. Simple random and stratified sampling techniques were used to sample 100 respondents and both primary and secondary data were used. The findings revealed that family demand, long working hours and heavy workload were among the reasons for work-family conflict. Flexible time schedule, supervisory support, supportive work environment, and formulation of family friendly policies such as child care services were strategies the bank used to minimise work-family conflict. A significantly negative correlation was established between work-family conflict and job performance showing that high levels of work-family conflict in employees leads to lower job performance. It was recommended that other banks without work-family conflict strategies should emulate the best practices of the study bank to help enhance the performance of their employees.

Evaluation of the stratigraphic architecture of the Gombe Formation of the Gongola Sub-basin in the Northern Benue Trough indicated a build-up from six facies assemblage that consist of trough crossbedded sandstone, planar crossbedded sandstone, massive bedded sandstone, ripple laminated sandstone, parallel laminated sandstone and mudstones. These units were packaged into three facies association that constitutes of bedded sandstone facies association (FAgI), interbedded sandstone and mudstone facies association (FAgII) and amalgamated trough crossbedded sandstone facies association (FAgIII). These reflects mouth-bars, pro-delta and delta slope deposits and upper delta plain respectively. This deltaic prism is characterized by unidirectional current system devoid of signatures of tide and waves hydrodynamics in the subaqueous delta regions, thus indicating that the delta system of the Gombe Formation is a fluvial dominated delta.

This study presented a secondary analysis of the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) dataset. The paper examined the impact of eighth grade students’ specific digital product creation on their Technology & Engineering Literacy ICT scores. In order to gain a better understanding of the impact of computer use technology achievement of eighth-grade students, this study used a quantitative descriptive research design to analyze secondary data extracted from the 2018 NAEP data set. The findings include (1) using computers to create, edit, or organize digital media both for school work and activities beyond school increased overall ICT scores. (2) The average score of students who used computers to create presentations in school increased while those who did this activity after school time saw a decrease in scores. (3) Students who reported that they create spreadsheets mostly saw a decrease in their average ICT score no matter the frequency or purpose for the activity. These findings may indicate that there is an ideal frequency for digital product creation in school, but that these types of activities may not be indicative of real-world use which is how students are assessed.

APEC (Asia-Pasific Economic Cooporation) merupakan kerjasama ekonomi antara 21 negara anggota yang dibentuk pada tahun 1989 dengan tujuan memperkuat pertumbuhan ekonomi kawasan. Perdagangan di sektor jasa merupakan salah satu fokus ruang lingkup kerjasama ekonomi APEC. Salah satu sektor jasa yang memiliki peran penting adalah sektor telekomunikasi, yang merupakan ”a set backbone” dari sektor jasa. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi impor jasa telekomunikasi serta mengestimasi ekuivalen tarif untuk melihat seberapa besar hambatan perdagangan jasa pada masing-masing negara APEC. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah gravity model dengan regresi data panel. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan faktor-faktor yang signifikan memengaruhi nilai impor jasa telekomunikasi di negara APEC adalah PDB riil, jarak, kesamaan bahasa, dan kesamaan sejarah kolonial. PDB riil negara importir maupun eksportir berpengaruh positif begitupun dengan bahasa dan sejarah kolonial. Sementara itu, jarak berpengaruh negatif terhadap nilai impor jasa telekomunikasi di negara APEC. Estimasi ekuivalen tarif  menunjukan bahwa Meksiko, Filipina, Peru dan Selandia Baru merupakan negara yang memilki hambatan perdagangan paling tinggi, sedangkan Singapura memiliki rata-rata nilai ekuivalen tarif terendah diantara negara-negara APEC.

A switch is a device for disconnecting or connecting electricity, usually used on lights. The Informatics Engineering Study Program (PSTI) of the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Mataram (UNRAM) has several classrooms with light switches controlled by manual switches. Problems occur when classroom users do not turn off class lights after use or when the room has sufficient lighting from outside. The solution is by implementing an automatic control system based on Internet of Things (IoT) that uses several sensors as a trigger switch. The monitoring system created can display light intensity data, motion status, and lamp status in real time obtained from the electronic circuit of the system via the MQTT protocol. Based on the test scheme carried out, the system created can perform lamp management based on the conditions received. MOS testing produces value 4.58 from scale 5 shows that the system is feasible to use.
