New Departures—Or a Spanner in the Works? Exploring Narratives of Impact-Driven Sustainability Research
Authors: Gürtler Konrad , Rivera Manuel
Published: November 2019

This article analyses the narratives of impact-driven transition research in the field of sustainability studies. It reconstructs patterns of narrations at a discourse level. Departing from the understanding that narrating is a fundamental mode of communication and education, this contribution is ultimately driven by the commitment to understand how narrativity can be improved in order to reach more effective rhetoric for sustainability research. The article starts by describing the dilemma sustainability researchers might find themselves in regarding their position vis-à-vis society and politics. This dilemma seems to shape the narratives researchers use for describing their work. After conceptualizing narratives on a structural level, findings from a comprehensive qualitative interview study are presented and discussed. We find that sustainability researchers can be clustered in five different types, depending on their affinity or distance to real-world sustainability processes, their propensity to either incremental reforms or transformative change and the relationship between environmental and social concerns in the context of the sustainability concept. Furthermore, we find that critical-constructive transformative research encounters challenges when narrating about its position vis-à-vis society and policy-making in the process of formulating goals and working towards them. We identified a tension between leaning stronger either towards independent, critical goal formulation or towards an engagement with actual political processes. Maintaining the ability to change roles between the process-involved and the process-observing sustainability researcher might be a promising way out for those dedicated to workings towards sustainability transitions.
Efficiency Analysis of Zinc Refining Companies
Authors: Park Ha Sung , Kim Tae Youn , Kim Daecheol
Published: November 2019

Most global zinc firms consist of multiple refineries with various production capacities. However, it is known that efficiency and Bonus Zn are mostly dependent on a firm’s production capacity. Thus, it is important to examine whether there is knowledge transfer of efficiencies and Bonus Zn among refineries within the same company, even if their production capacities are quite different. The Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is used to measure efficiency scores of forty-two zinc refineries. To examine whether there is a knowledge transfer about efficiency and Bonus Zn within a firm, a propensity score model is newly applied. Additionally, a regression model is utilized to identify whether this propagation is more effective if refineries are in the same country. It is found that about 86% of the refineries are inefficient, which indicates that there is much room for refineries to improve their performance. From the result, it is identified that the knowledge of efficiency and Bonus Zn is transferred within the company. This transfer is particularly influential when both refineries are located in the same country. We also find that firm’s revenue can be maximized when efficiency is high and the production capacity and/or Bonus Zn are significant.
A Conformally Invariant Derivation of Average Electromagnetic Helicity
Authors: Fernandez-Corbaton Ivan
Published: November 2019

The average helicity of a given electromagnetic field measures the difference between the number of left- and right-handed photons contained in the field. Here, the average helicity is derived using the conformally invariant inner product for Maxwell fields. Several equivalent integral expressions in momentum space, in ( r , t ) space, and in the time-harmonic ( r , ω ) space are obtained, featuring Riemann–Silberstein-like fields and potentials. The time-harmonic expressions can be directly evaluated using the outputs of common numerical solvers of Maxwell equations. The results are shown to be equivalent to the well-known volume integral for the average helicity, featuring the electric and magnetic fields and potentials.

Published: November 2019

Recent extreme weather events like the August 2016 flood disaster have significantly affected farmland in mid-latitude regions like the Tokachi River (TR) watershed, the most productive farmland in Japan. The August 2016 flood disaster was caused by multiple typhoons that occurred in the span of two weeks and dealt catastrophic damage to agricultural land. This disaster was the focus of our flood model simulations. For the hydrological model input, the rainfall data with 0.04° grid space and an hourly interval were provided by a regional climate model (RCM) during the period of multiple typhoon occurrences. The high-resolution data can take account of the geographic effects, hardly reproduced by ordinary RCMs. The rainfall data drove a conceptual, distributed rainfall–runoff model, embedded in the integrated flood analysis system. The rainfall–runoff model provided discharges along rivers over the TR watershed. The RCM also provided future rainfall data with pseudo-global warming climate, assuming that the August 2016 disaster could reoccur again in the late 21st century. The future rainfall data were used to conduct a future flood simulation. With bias corrections, current and future flood simulations showed the potential inundated areas along riverbanks based on flood risk levels. The crop field-based agricultural losses in both simulations were estimated. The future cost may be two to three times higher as indicated by slightly higher simulated future discharge peaks in tributaries.

Published: November 2019

Este artículo presenta el proceso y los resultados de un análisis documental aplicado a la normativa sobre evaluación del aprendizaje en la Universidad de Sevilla. El estudio se realizó en el marco de un proyecto más amplio en el que han participado nueve universidades españolas. Se ha desarrollado a través de dos momentos diferenciados. En primer lugar se realizó el análisis del marco regulador de la evaluación con la finalidad de identificar los rasgos y características esenciales que la normativa de la Universidad (así como de sus centros y departamentos) confiere al proceso de evaluación. Se abordan aspectos como la planificación de la evaluación (su papel, funciones, agentes implicados, etc.) y su organización (planes y estrategias, gestión, recursos...). En segundo lugar, se procedió a la revisión de los programas docentes de un conjunto de materias seleccionadas, entre otros criterios, por participar en experiencias piloto del Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior. Este segundo análisis persigue describir cómo se diseña la evaluación del aprendizaje del alumnado, haciendo una revisión de aspectos tales como el objeto de evaluación, los criterios e instrumentos, etc. Los resultados de ambos análisis nos permiten aproximarnos al diagnóstico del sistema de evaluación del aprendizaje del alumnado en la Universidad de Sevilla, identificando tanto sus fortalezas como aquellos aspectos en los que se puede mejorar. Entre estos aspectos a mejorar podemos mencionar la necesidad de incluir las competencias como objeto de evaluación, de utilizar instrumentos basados en el trabajo práctico de los estudiantes y de reducir el papel otorgado a las pruebas escritas.

Published: November 2019

Los mapas mentales implican y promueven un modelo de aprendizaje holístico, orientado, prioritariamente, al desarrollo de capacidades y estrategias, frente a la acumulación de conocimientos. En este trabajo se constata que los mapas mentales sintonizan con el enfoque de aprender con todo el cerebro, ya que trabajan los cuatro cuadrantes cerebrales en interacción. Se aporta, también, la vertiente de los mapas mentales como técnica potenciadora del planteamiento de Gardner sobre las “Cinco mentes del futuro” (2005), en correspondencia con la dominancia cerebral de Benziger (2000). En definitiva, los mapas mentales propician el progreso en la madurez mental y personal del alumno.

Authors: De la Herrán Gascón Agustín , Coro Montanet Gleyvis
Published: November 2019

En los últimos años, la influencia de un determinado modo de entender la evaluación educativa en la vida universitaria se ha incrementado considerablemente. Dentro del marco educativo en general y el universitario en particular se ha convertido en una actividad reglamentaria más cercana a la certificación que a la de propiciar una mejora percibida desde su complejidad. Pero la evaluación es un proceso complejo que, por tanto, no se puede resolverse sólo objetiva o nomotéticamente.

Tras revisar someramente la génesis histórica de las diversas concepciones más relevantes sobre la evaluación, el presente trabajo pretende analizar críticamente la presencia de la cultura de la evaluación nomotética en la universidad. Posteriormente, reflexiona sobre algunos condicionantes contextuales de esta cultura en la enseñanza e investigación universitarias. Finalmente, expresa algunos efectos de la cultura de la evaluación nomotética relacionados con la investigación científica.

Event detection has wide application especially in the area of news streams analyzing where there is a need to monitor what events are emerging and affecting people’s lives. This is crucial for public administrations and policy makers to learn from their previous mistakes to make better decisions in the future. Different researchers have introduced several event detection models for Facebook news posts in. However, majority of these models have not provided adequate information about the discovered news events such as location, people and activity. In addition, existing models have ignored the problem of high dimensional feature space which affects the overall detection performance of the models. This research presents a conceptual event detection model for mining events from large volume of short text Facebook news posts and summarize their valuable information. This is crucial for public administrations and policy makers to learn from their previous mistakes to make better decisions in the future. The proposed model includes pre-processing, feature selection, event detection and summarization phases. The pre-processing phase involves several steps to convert unstructured text news posts into structure data. Feature selection phase to select the optimal feature subset. Meanwhile, event detection phase uses these features to construct undirected weighted graph and apply dynamic graph technique to identify the clusters from the graph and then annotate each cluster to its corresponding event. At the end of this paper, several unresolved problems in the construction of event detection model from Facebook news posts are reported to be used as future work for the current study.

We present a novel approach multicast routing protocol using Ant Colony Optimization and Cross Layer Technique. This protocol is an enhancement of the existing on-demand multicast routing protocol (ODMRP). Establishing communication through portable devices without any central infrastructure is possible in Ad-hoc networks. This feature of the absence of a central infrastructure and the random mobility of the devices give rise to multiple problems involving in security and routing. The challenges encountered by these multicast routing protocols are to provide a secured and efficient routing in these networks. In this paper we intend to present a novel approach of on-demand multicast routing protocol using Ant Colony Optimization and Cross Layer Technique. With this enhanced feature of cross layer technique and by applying ant colony optimization the proposed protocol performs more efficient with minimal overhead. The performance levels of the proposed algorithm at higher traffic load in comparison to the existing algorithms are evident from the simulations performed using NS-2.

Authors:   Assistant Professor, Department of Economics Pandu college, Guwahati, Das* Runumi
Published: November 2019

Workforce participation of women is considered as a major factor in the progression of their economic independence and usually it has been considered as an indicator of their overall wellbeing status in the society. Higher participation of women in workforce is symbolised for their autonomy status and social and economic empowerment. But there are many determinants related to women entering into the workforce. The purpose of this study is to examine the main determinants of women workforce participation among the Rabha women in Rabha Hasong Autonomous Council (RHAC) area of Assam. The data from the socio-economic survey of Rabha women undertaken in four blocks of RHAC area during January to March 2019, are analysed by the logistic regression model. A number of potential variables are used in the model as independent variables. The results suggest that Marital status of Women, Education of Women, Age of Women, Number of earning members of the family and Number of existing children between the age group 0-6 affect significantly; and Occupation of Head of the household, Types of family, Age of Head of the household and Household income (in Rs. 1000) does not significantly affect the Rabha women entering into the workforce. It is suggested that in order to improve the working condition of female labor force, the economy will need to create more appealing working opportunities and government policies will have to create higher quality jobs which will encourage the women to enter into the job market.

Cases of dengue hemorrhagic fever are associated with the potential for rainfall, temperature, and humidity. In a month mosquitoes can lay eggs approximately four times. In a month mosquitoes can lay eggs between 400 to 600 eggs. Mosquito eggs can survive, do not hatch, for six months because they do not touch the water. The existence of rainfall, humidity, and the appropriate temperature can accelerate the process of hatching mosquito eggs. Secondary data analysis research methods on BMKG data and Makassar City Health Department data in 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018. The data analysis was carried out on 1–8 October 2019. The observation results revealed that high rainfall occurred in January, February, March, April, May and June. In July, August, September the rainfall is very low. Then entering November and December, the rainfall starts to high again. Air temperature does not occur significantly or not too extreme a difference every month. Humidity in the rainy season tends to be high. The incidence of dengue fever in the rainy season tends to increase. The number of mosquito larvae also tends to increase in the rainy season. It is recommended that before entering the rainy season, it should increase awareness of the incidence of dengue fever by reducing mosquito breeding sites through draining, closing, stockpiling. Drain and close the bathtub, and bury cans, plastic, and objects that can become mosquito breeding grounds.

At this point, we are quite sure that we have understood the value of this idea if Servqual as well as in market research. It is expected that the contextual research shared in this article will provide you with a practical understanding of the use of this idea in the exam. Cross selling and up selling from the bottom up are one of the most used distinctive features in the marketing technique of any organization.SERVPERF and SERVQUAL are two service quality assessment tools that are commonly used in the assessment of quality of service in different service areas, for example, banking, hospital, tourism, insurance and so forth. In any case, quality literature of the service shows that there is a significant difference in the principle of estimation of the quality of service in these two matrices, and in addition, results using these two matrices actually do not require coordination.Therefore, the quality of service is rich in literary models, hypotheses and criticisms, the way dynamic research has progressed in the last two decades. The recognized issue in this research is this: Do both of these metrics agree in their results or there is a significant difference in their results for a given telecom service sector. The exam extracts between the results of these two metrics, and how to improve the service quality and service performance in the telecommunications industry, while examining the possibility of suggesting tips and suggestions based on a consolidated outcome.

This article gives brief view of UWB microstrip antenna characteristic without a slot and with a triangular slot on the patch of the MSA. Nowadays UWB antenna is a must for wireless communication with the narrow pulses in the series of nanoseconds, for the application of ultra- wideband in frequency domain for very short distance and minimum power densities. The research in this field has become more sought-after and therefore the demand on UWB microstrip antenna is rising rapidly. The currents along the verge of the slot initiates additional resonance, it concords with the main patch resonance, which result in the production of overall frequency response characteristics, ultimately leads to wideband. Thus a crisp novel ultra-wideband configuration with and without a triangular slot have been proposed. And the radiation is in the broadside of antenna with small variation along the entire bandwidth. Thus improving the robustness of the MSA and cost reduction. Due to the potential of UWB antennas,they are significant to improve the performance of wireless communication systems. The MSA (microstrip antenna) is designed with FR-4 substrate. There is increase in bandwidth due to the introduction of triangular slot in the patch and the variation in the antenna parameters are briefed below. This document can be used as guide to design small MSA for mobile communication.

Indeed, the hadiths are one of the topics that have been causing extensive discussions in the West since the 19th century. Many western scholars believe that the hadiths were fabricated and they have no historical significance. At the same time, there are many researchers who totally reject these views. Most researchers, in particular, Ignaz Goldziher, Schacht denied most hadiths and they claimed that hadiths have no historical significance. According to them, rulers and jurists all fabricated ḥadiths to reinforce their legal views or to validate already-existing practices. Other groups of scholars, such as John Burton, Motzki, and N.Abbot, admit the hadiths as reliable sources after the Qur'an. The superficial conclusions of Western scholars have been denied by Muslim researchers by F.Sezgin, Abu Shuhba, al-Marsafi, al-A’zami, Maloush on the basis of historical facts. However, scholars on both sides have not seriously objected to “al-Kitab as-Sitta” which translates as “The Authentic Six”. The six major hadith collections (“Sahih Bukhari”, collected by Imam Bukhari , “Sahih Muslim, collected by Muslim b. al-Hajjaj, “Sunan Abu Dawood”, collected by Abu Dawood , “Jami al-Tirmidhi”, collected by al-Tirmidhi, Sunan al-Sughra, collected by al-Nasa'i, Sunan ibn Majah, collected by Ibn Majah have been considered as valuable source on the history of Islam. “Jami al-Tirmidhi” plays an important role among them. Some researchers think this work second or third vital source after “Sahih Bukhari”. In the article, the life of hadith scholars, his scientific legacy, structure and importance of “Jami al-Tirmidhi”, special style of Abu Isa Tirmidhi in hadith methodology, opinions of other scholars on this work, differences between Imam Bukhari and Imam Tirmidhi on writing and selecting hadiths and legal issues of them will be discussed.

There are many existing companies who are developing cars on the autonomous driving technology. With the help of GPS and internet connectivity they create a dynamic map which helps the cars to navigate. This technology is still new and undergoing rigorous changes. There are many shortcomings to this existing technology. They are capable of navigating through those areas which are accounted for and surveyed but when the car enters in any unchartered terrain or there is any internet connectivity issues, the updation in the map is not possible, which leaves the car to navigate on its own. This can cause many troubles like you can get late or maybe lost. So to overcome these problems we need such an intelligent system with the help of camera feeds can monitor and identify the traffic signals dynamically. Traffic sign recognition is based on Advanced Driving Assistance System (ADAS) which is used by vehicles to recognise various traffic signs ahead. The system takes continuous video input from the dashboard camera or the camera mounted on the bonnet of the car. The underlying algorithm extracts the features of the input image and matches them with an existing library of traffic sign. The output is fed to the driving assistance system and it in turn drives the car accordingly. This intelligent system uses computer vision. This device will take camera feeds and upgrade the ADA system instantaneously. The algorithm has been implemented using Python language.

A paperless office is not only environmentally friendly but also advantageous in many aspects. The digitalisation of documents and corresponding processes saves time, reduces mistakes and therefore realizes cost savings for companies. This time can be invested in better customer management. Real estate companies work with thousands of rented apartments and as many customers and thus have to maintain and manage a lot of customer related data. IT has already created manifold remedies with Enterprise-Resource-Planning (ERP) and Customer- Relationship-Management (CRM) systems and models, but there is still plenty of development potential to be exploited by integrating mobile solutions into the IT architecture. The main challenge thereby is not the programming of an app but the seamless integration into customer processes and the creation of customer acceptance and thus value. Therefore, it is investigated how mobile applications can better control customer processes and whether such an implementation is profitable. For this purpose, typical work and customer processes of real estate companies must be analysed, understood and transferred to appropriate mobile solutions. This paper examines the details which need to be considered in such projects.

To support Big Data mining, high-performance powerful computing platforms are required, which impose regular designs to unleash the full power of the Big Data. Pattern mining poses a lot of interesting research problems and there are many areas that are still not well understood. The specifically very elementary challenges are to understand the meaningful data from the junk data that anticipated into the internet, refer as “Smart Data”. Eighty-five percent of the entire data are noisy or meaningless. It is a very tough often assigned to verify and separate to refine the data from the noisy junk. Researchers’ are proposing an algorithm of distributed pattern mining to give some sort of solution of the heterogeneity, scaling and hidden Big Data problems. The algorithm has evaluated in parameters like cost, speed, space and overhead. Researchers’ used IoT as the source of Big Data that generates heterogeneous Big Data. In this paper, we are representing the results of all tests proved that; the new method gives accurate results and valid outputs based on verifying them with the results of the other valid methods. Also, the results show that, the new method can handle the big datasets and decides the frequent pattern and produces the associate rule sets faster than that of the conventional methods and less amount of memory storage for processing. Overall the new method has a challenging performance as regard the memory storage and the speed of processing as compared to the conventional methods of frequent pattern mining like Apriori and FP-Growth techniques.

Software applications have revolutionized human lives. As healthcare industry becomes digitalized, more and more hospitals are now dependent on effective and user-friendly software applications for efficacious management. However, this progressive increase in the use of software applications has led to several security issues. Security risk has probably become the biggest and most sensitive concern in this era for hospital management systems. Assessment of security risk may help in acquiring the level of security that the end user wants. Security assessment needs identification and prioritization of its attributes for publishing guidelines to maintain that level, as security risk is a multidimensional problem. This study has used the Fuzzy ANP methodology to solve this multi criteria based problem. This work also emphasizes on increasing security by assessing the security risk in hospital management system. A real time case study of hospital management system has also been used for validating the results. The acquired results will help in mapping the guidelines and developing new mechanism as per the high prioritized attributes of security risk.

Enviourment control is one of the critical difficulties for handicapped individuals who experience the ill effects of neuromuscular ailments. Brain computer interface systems empower a subject to communicate with a PC machine without drawing down any solid action. This communication does not depend in light of any ordinary medium of correspondences like physical developments, talking, and motion and so forth. The most vital desire for a home control application is high accuracy and solid control. In this study, row column–based (2 Row, 3 columns) P300 paradigm for home appliances control was designed. In this article we analyse a real time EEG data for P300 speller using support vector machine and artificial neural network for high accuracy. Using this proposed method we are able to find the target appliance in a correct and fastest way. Four healthy subjects were participating in this study. Artificial neural network gives 85% accuracy within 10 flashes. The results shows this paradigm can be used for select option of a home appliances control application for healthy subjects with user convenient and reliable.

The entrepreneurial capacity of young farmers is an important indicator for realizing farmer succession. The research aimed to analysis descriptively entrepreneurial capacity and the factors influencing the entrepreneurial capacity of young farmers. The study was conducted in Cianjur and Majalengka Regencies, West Java, Indonesia. The study population was young farmers in Cianjur and Majalengka Regencies. A sample of 220 people consisted of 110 farmers in Cianjur and 110 farmers in Majalengka. Samples were selected using a cluster random sampling technique. Data were collected by interview using a questionnaire. Research variables consisted of individual characteristics (X1), access to information and communication technology (X2), external support (X3), the role of agricultural instructors (X4), and entrepreneurial capacity (Y). Data analysis techniques used were descriptive statistical techniques and multiple regression. The results of the study concluded that youth entrepreneurship capacity mostly belonged medium classification. Majority of young farmers had junior and senior high school education, the average length time of business was 5.8 years, majority of farmers had never attended training, had high and easy access to information and communication technology, perceptions and motivations was mostly classified as medium. The entrepreneurial capacity of young farmers was influenced by education, motivation, access to information and communication technology, external factors and the role of agricultural extension agents.

Artificial roughness in the form of ribs is a beneficial strategy to improve the thermal performance of solar air heaters (SAHs). In the present research work, experimental examinations have been conducted on heat transfer and friction characteristics in the rectangular channel, which is roughened through the inclined discrete ribs. The inclined ribs were discretized by creating gaps at the different positions (not inline) on trailing and leading edges in consecutive ribs The rib roughness has relative roughness pitch as 8.0, rib combination of relative gap position is varied from 0.3 & 0.1 to 0.3 & 0.4, and mass flow rate varies between 3000 -14,000 and rib gap width as 1. The higher improvement in the Nusselt number and factor of friction coefficient is obtained to be 2.92 and 3.33 times respectively, as compared with that of the smooth duct. The higher thermo-hydraulic performance parameter (THPP) is obtained for the combination of relative gap position of 0.3 & 0.3.

Wastes generated during the tanning process can be categorized as buffing wastes, shaving wastes, keratin waste (mainly from the nails and hair) and skin trimmings. The main component of all these wastes is protein.in fact keratin is one type of protein. Leather waste from chrome tanned leather, which is proteinous, impregnated with chromium, synthetic fat, oil, tanning agents and dye chemicals is one of the difficult tannery wastes to manage. In this project, various leather- polymer- EPDM composites have been made and their properties have been analyzed. polymer-leather composite modified with filler material has showed good performance with high decomposition temperature, good bonding between the constituents and low density (Hence, low weight). The strong mechanical phase interaction brought by the chemical bonding with leather interface was confirmed by FTIR analysis. Thermal Gravimetric Analysis revealed the higher decomposition temperature for the composites.
