Whither is Bound Humanity: A Scrutiny of the Select Plays of Sharon Pollock
Authors: - C. Lakshmi Prasad
Published: April 2023

A torchbearer of history and a dramatist awakening the humane self, buried deep in the quagmire of social evils, Sharon Pollock has won laurels in the realm of Canadian Literature. According to Pollock, Canadians think of themselves as a clique of cultured race who have never partaken in historical transgressions and atrocities. But that is a mistaken notion. Canadian history is bleak only because it has been dishonestly bowdlerized. This contention voiced forth by Pollock paves the way for subverting the myth of Canada. Her Plays Komagata Maru Incident and One Tiger to Hill present Canada in its true colours. Pollock unearths the archives of history in order to give an avant-garde explication about the Canadian past. The objective of the paper is to scrutinize the historical dossiers connected with the Komagata Maru Incident of 1914 and the New Westminster hostage-taking of 1975. An analysis of the plays relying upon the chronicles is attempted to find out the discrepancy between history and reality. Canada though glorified as a multicultural mosaic and a democratic union has in reality traces of internal colonialism, racism and Eurocentric attitude pushing the voiceless to the margins. The plays bear testimony of the unheard agonies of the minorities. The two epithets that captures the essence of the plays selected are “Brown Children” referring to the Indians who relocated to Canada and “Waste Paper Basket,” an appropriate synonym for ‘prison.’

Published: April 2023

Seit 1977 führten Deutschland, Österreich und die Schweiz im Zweijahres­takt die ‹OECD/CERI-Regionalseminare der deutschsprachigen Länder› durch. Seit 2007 werden Arbeitstreffen im DACH-Raum zu gemeinsamen Themen durchgeführt. Ab 2011 werden nun OECD/CERI-Seminare der deutschsprachigen Länder durch die sogenannten ‹DACH-Seminare› abgelöst. Die Seminare dienen der Weiterbildung durch gemeinsames Lernen, der Schaffung und Festigung von landesübergreifenden personellen Netzwerken sowie der Identifizierung gemeinsamer Interessen der deutschsprachigen Länder. Im Bereich der Lehrerinnen- und Lehrerbildung wurde im Anschluss an eine erste Zusammenkunft ein zweites Arbeitstreffen im Rahmen von DACH im November 2010 in München auf Einladung der School of Education der Technischen Universität München (TUM) durchgeführt. Weil die drei Länder mit analogen oder gar gleichen Problem- und Fragestellungen konfrontiert sind, ist der internationale Austausch gerade für die Reflexion über die eigenen Probleme und Erfolge wichtig. Dies gilt insbesondere auch für die Lehrerinnen- und Lehrerbildung.

On the Solution of Equations with Linear-Fractional Shifts
Authors: Tarasenko Anna , Karelin Oleksandr , González-Hernández Manuel , Karelina Darya
Published: April 2023

This work represents a continuation of the studies relating to nonlinear equations, carried out by the authors. Special attention is paid to the operators with linear-fractional shifts that act on the argument of the unknown function, but also on the unknown function itself. In this work, we study homogeneous equations with such operators. The main classes of functions for which non-linear equations are considered are Hölder class real functions. Solutions of the equations have the form of infinite products or the form of infinite continued fractions; an abstract description of the solutions is also offered. The developed mathematical methods can be applied to finding the conditions of invertibility of certain operators found in modelling, as well as for the construction of their inverse operators. Subsequently, we suggest using these results for the modelling of renewable systems with elements that can be in different states: sick, healthy, immune, or vaccinated. These results can also be applied to the analysis of balance equations of the model and for finding equilibrium states of the system.
Duality for Multiobjective Programming Problems with Equilibrium Constraints on Hadamard Manifolds under Generalized Geodesic Convexity
Authors: Upadhyay Balendu Bhooshan , Ghosh Arnav , Stancu-Minasian I. M.
Published: April 2023

This article is devoted to the study of a class of multiobjective mathematical programming problems with equilibrium constraints on Hadamard manifolds (in short, (MPPEC)). We consider (MPPEC) as our primal problem and formulate two different kinds of dual models, namely, Wolfe and Mond-Weir type dual models related to (MPPEC). Further, we deduce the weak, strong as well as strict converse duality relations that relate (MPPEC) and the corresponding dual problems employing geodesic pseudoconvexity and geodesic quasiconvexity restrictions. Several suitable numerical examples are incorporated to demonstrate the significance of the deduced results. The results derived in this article generalize and extend several previously existing results in the literature.

Variance aftereffect within and between sensory modalities for visual and auditory domains
Authors: Ueda Sachiyo , Yakushijin Reiko , Ishiguchi Akira
Published: April 2023

We can grasp various features of the outside world using summary statistics efficiently. Among these statistics, variance is an index of information homogeneity or reliability. Previous research has shown that visual variance information in the context of spatial integration is encoded directly as a unique feature, and currently perceived variance can be distorted by that of the preceding stimuli. In this study, we focused on variance perception in temporal integration. We investigated whether any variance aftereffects occurred in visual size and auditory pitch. Furthermore, to examine the mechanism of cross-modal variance perception, we also investigated whether variance aftereffects occur between different modalities. Four experimental conditions (a combination of sensory modalities of adaptor and test: visual-to-visual, visual-to-auditory, auditory-to-auditory, and auditory-to-visual) were conducted. Participants observed a sequence of visual or auditory stimuli perturbed in size or pitch with certain variance and performed a variance classification task before and after the variance adaptation phase. We found that in visual size, within modality adaptation to small or large variance, resulted in a variance aftereffect, indicating that variance judgments are biased in the direction away from that of the adapting stimulus. In auditory pitch, within modality adaptation to small variance caused variance aftereffect. For cross-modal combinations, adaptation to small variance in visual size resulted in variance aftereffect. However, the effect was weak, and variance aftereffect did not occur in other conditions. These findings indicate that the variance information of sequentially presented stimuli is encoded independently in visual and auditory domains.
EVOLUTION AND DISTRIBUTION OF SHAKES IN LARCH LOGS DURING AIR DRYING
Authors: WANG SIDONG , ZHANG FENGHAO , CHEN DONGSHENG , JIANG JINGHUI
Published: April 2023

This paper analyzed the length, width, and location of shakes in the air-drying process of larch log (Larix principis-rupprechtii Mayr) 1 m long and 66% initial moisture content. The development law and distribution characteristics of shakes during log drying of larch were studied and shake generation and development law were analyzed from two aspects of microstructure and growth defects. The variation of dry shrinkage deformation along the radial direction and knot influence on it was analyzed using the split-shaped stress test strips. At the cellular level, the cell wall shrinkage behavior of heartwood and sapwood and the microstructure of knots were observed. The results showed a significant relationship between eccentricity and shake distribution; the IIa region is the most prone to dry shake. The evolution of shakes is closely related to the drying rate. In the high-speed drying stage (MC ≥ 40%), shakes almost do not occur; in the decelerating drying stage (40% ≥ MC ≥ 20%), the amount, length, and width of shakes increase rapidly. In the low-speed drying stage (20% ≥MC), the area of shakes tends to stabilize or even decline. The main reasons for dry shaking are the dry shrinkage difference between tangential and radial cell walls, early and late wood, heartwood and sapwood, and moisture content gradient during the drying process.
A SYNERGIC EFFECT OF WATER-BASED ACRYLIC RESIN WITH BORIC ACID ON LEACHABILITY
Authors: KELEŞ ÖZLEM ÖZGENÇ , DURMAZ SEFA
Published: April 2023

In this study, the Scots pine wood samples were impregnated (single treatment) with boric acid combined with two types of water-based acrylic resin (pure acrylic and semi-translucent acrylic emulsion) to limit the boron leaching and improve the decay resistance. The results showed dimensional stability in anti-swelling efficiency and water absorption improved in wood specimens treated with boric acid and acrylic types. While the leachability was over 90% for only 3% boric acid-impregnated wood (control), it was calculated at 36% for acrylic emulsions-impregnated wood. Although there were no weight losses for the unleached woods, it was up to 9% for leached woods impregnated with acrylic resin and emulsion. The 25% acrylic emulsion had no weight losses after the leaching test for Coniophora puteana and Trametes versicolor. The boric acid combined with acrylic resin can improve the leaching resistance with the synergic effect, enhancing resistance against biological threats.

Published: April 2023

To improve the permeability of dye solution in wood, poplar was pretreated by freeze-thaw cycle. The effects of three parameters, such as freezing time, thawing time and circulation times on the dyeing effect of pretreated poplar were investigated by single factor method. On this basis, pretreatment conditions were optimized by response surface methodology. The optimum conditions of this treatment were freezing time of 11.9 h, thawing time of 7.2 h and two cycles. Under these conditions, the dye uptake and chromatic aberration of the treated wood were 25.77% and 21.14%, respectively, which were close to the theoretical predicted values. The results showed that freeze-thaw cycle pretreatment could effectively improve the permeability of poplar and enhance the dyeing effect of wood.

Searching for Gravitational-wave Counterparts Using the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite
Authors: Mo Geoffrey , Jayaraman Rahul , Fausnaugh Michael , Katsavounidis Erik , Ricker George R. , Vanderspek Roland
Published: April 2023

In 2017, the LIGO and Virgo gravitational-wave (GW) detectors, in conjunction with electromagnetic (EM) astronomers, observed the first GW multimessenger astrophysical event, the binary neutron star (BNS) merger GW170817. This marked the beginning of a new era in multimessenger astrophysics. To discover further GW multimessenger events, we explore the synergies between the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) and GW observations triggered by the LIGO–Virgo–KAGRA Collaboration (LVK) detector network. TESS's extremely wide field of view (∼2300 deg2) means that it could overlap with large swaths of GW localizations, which often span hundreds of square degrees or more. In this work, we use a recently developed transient detection pipeline to search TESS data collected during the LVK’s third observing run, O3, for any EM counterparts. We find no obvious counterparts brighter than about 17th magnitude in the TESS bandpass. Additionally, we present end-to-end simulations of BNS mergers, including their detection in GWs and simulations of light curves, to identify TESS's kilonova discovery potential for the LVK's next observing run (O4). In the most optimistic case, TESS will observe up to one GW-found BNS merger counterpart per year. However, TESS may also find up to five kilonovae that did not trigger the LVK network, emphasizing that EM-triggered GW searches may play a key role in future kilonova detections. We also discuss how TESS can help place limits on EM emission from binary black hole mergers and rapidly exclude large sky areas for poorly localized GW events.

Published: April 2023

Traffic surveillance systems are utilized to collect and monitor the traffic condition data of the road networks. This data plays a crucial role in a variety of applications of the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITSs). In traffic surveillance, it is challenging to achieve accurate vehicle detection and count the vehicles from traffic videos. The most notable difficulties include real-time system operations for precise classification, identification of the vehicles' location in traffic flows and functioning around total occlusions that hamper the vehicle tracking process. Conventional video-related vehicle detection techniques such as optical flow, background subtraction and frame difference have certain limitations in terms of efficiency or accuracy. Therefore, the current study proposes to design the spotted hyena optimizer with deep learning-enabled vehicle counting and classification (SHODL-VCC) model for the ITSs. The aim of the proposed SHODL-VCC technique lies in accurate counting and classification of the vehicles in traffic surveillance. To achieve this, the proposed SHODL-VCC technique follows a two-stage process that includes vehicle detection and vehicle classification. Primarily, the presented SHODL-VCC technique employs the RetinaNet object detector to identify the vehicles. Next, the detected vehicles are classified into different class labels using the deep wavelet auto-encoder model. To enhance the vehicle detection performance, the spotted hyena optimizer algorithm is exploited as a hyperparameter optimizer, which considerably enhances the vehicle detection rate. The proposed SHODL-VCC technique was experimentally validated using different databases. The comparative outcomes demonstrate the promising vehicle classification performance of the SHODL-VCC technique in comparison with recent deep learning approaches.
Estimation and prediction for two-parameter Pareto distribution based on progressively double Type-II hybrid censored data
Authors: Long Bing , Jiang Zaifu
Published: April 2023

In this paper, a new censoring test plan called progressively double Type-II hybrid censoring scheme is introduced for the first time. Based on this type of censored data, the maximum likelihood estimates of the unknown parameters and reliability for the two-parameter Pareto distribution are obtained. Using the Bayesian method, the Bayesian estimates of the unknown parameters and reliability are obtained under the symmetric and asymmetric loss functions. The failure times of all withdrawn units are predicted using the classical and Bayesian methods, including the predictive values and the prediction intervals. The mean values and mean square errors of the estimators are calculated by Monte-Carlo simulation, and the mean square errors between them are compared, and the results show that all Bayesian estimates are better than the corresponding maximum likelihood estimates. Using a real data set, we compute the Bayesian estimates of the unknown parameters and reliability, and predict the observations of the censored units.

Published: April 2023

This paper applies the concepts of fuzzifying functions to the probability density function of a random variable and introduce a fuzzifying probability to better understand the probability arising from the uncertainties of the probability density function. Using the fuzzifying probability, we derive the fuzzifying expected value and the fuzzifying variance of a random variable with the fuzzifying probability density function. Additionally, we provide examples of a fuzzifying probability density function to validate that the proposed fuzzy concepts generalize crisp expected value and variance in probability theory.

Target-Oriented Compromised Sales and Profit Approach for Production and Distribution Planning in a Supply Chain
Authors: Sukviboon Supanat , Yenradee Pisal
Published: April 2023

This paper aims to determine optimal aggregate production and distribution plans in a supply chain system that simultaneously achieve two business targets of total profit and total sales, with uncertain parameters, e.g., production rate during regular time and overtime, inventory holding costs for a manufacturer and distribution centers, and transportation cost. A fuzzy multi-objective linear programming (FMOLP) model is developed to represent the planning problem. The proposed method that minimizes maximum deviation from satisfaction targets of fuzzy profits and sales is more effective, compared with the method that maximizes minimum satisfaction of fuzzy profits and sale, to determine various compromised solutions, which are Pareto-optimal, and to allow a planner to select the most desirable solution based on his/her opinion. This paper has made a significant contribution since it is the first one that proposes the FMOLP approach to determine compromised solutions with two target-based objectives of simultaneously achieving total fuzzy profit targets and total sales target.
Binary Vulnerability Similarity Detection Based on Function Parameter Dependency
Authors: Xia Bing , Liu Wenbo , He Qudong , Liu Fudong , Pang Jianmin , Yang RuiNan , Yin JiaBin , Ge YunXiang
Published: April 2023

Many existing works compute the binary vulnerability similarity based on binary procedure, which has coarse detection granularity and cannot locate the vulnerability trigger position accurately, and have a higher false positive rate, so a new binary vulnerability similarity detection method based on function parameter dependency in hazard API is proposed. First, convert the instructions of different architectures into an intermediate language, and use the compiler with a back-end optimizer to optimize and normalize the binary procedure. Then, locate the hazard API that appears in the binary procedure, and perform the function parameters dependency analysis to generate a set of parameter slices on the hazard API. Experiments show that the method has a higher recall rate (up to 14.3% better than the baseline model) in real-world scenarios, and not only locates the triggering position of the vulnerability but also identifies the fixed vulnerability.

Sağlık çalışanlarında zamanla meydana gelen ve yaşam
kalitesindeki bozulmalarla başlayan tükenmişlik süreci,

zamanla kişilerin motivasyonunu olumsuz etkilemek-
tedir. Bu araştırmada da sağlık çalışanlarında, mobbing

olgusunun tükenmişlik üzerindeki etkisinin araştırılması

amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaçla YÖK Ulusal Tez Merkezi, Der-
giPark ve Google Akademik veri tabanlarında 2010-2019

yılları arasında yapılmış çalışmalar “psikolojik şiddet”,
“mobbing”, “işyeri şiddeti”, “tükenmişlik”, “yıldırma”,

“sağlık”, “sağlık çalışanları”, anahtar kelimeleri kulla-
nılarak tarama yapılmıştır. Detaylı tarama sonucunda

ulaşılan makale ve tezlerden içerik açısından uygun ve

yeterli istatistik veriye sahip olduğu tespit edilen 4 araş-
tırma analiz edilmiştir. Çalışmada, The Comprehensive

Meta Analysis Software (CMA) programı kullanılmıştır.

Çalışmanın sonuçları arasında heterojenlik olup olmadı-
ğını belirlemek için kullanılan Q istatistiğinin sonucuna

göre sabit etki modeli seçilmiştir. Çalışmada, yayınlanma
yanlılığının test edilmesi amacıyla funnel plot grafiği ve

Begg-Mazumdar Sıra korelasyon analiz sonuçları kulla-
nılmıştır. Bu araştırma sonucunda sağlık çalışanlarında

mobbing ve tükenmişliğe lehine sabit etkiler (d=0,198)
modeline göre istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı düzeyde bir
etki büyüklüğü bulunmaktadır. Araştırma sonucunda
çalışanların psikolojik şiddetle başlayan süreçte zamanla
tükenmişlik yaşamalarının kaçınılmaz olduğu, mobbing
ve tükenmişlik arasında pozitif yönde ve anlamlı bir ilişki
olduğu saptanmıştır.

Amaç: Covid-19 virüsü enfekte olmuş hastalarda virüsün ya-
rattığı hücre, doku, organ deformasyonuna yanıt olarak oluşan

fizyolojik etki yani ağrı semptomunu, çeşitliliğini ve objektif

ağrı skala skorları ve biyokimyasal bazı parametrelerle ilişkilen-
dirilerek tedavi rejimlerinin kapsamları, güvenilirlikleri hasta

takipleri ile en uygun tedavi yaklaşımlarının belirlenmesini
sağlamaktır.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışma 1 Kasım -16 Kasım 2020 tarihleri

arasında Türkiye’de Kafkas Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Araştır-
ma Hastanesinde yatarak tedavi gören ve günlük takiplerinde

yapılan tetkiklerle, ağrı semptomları üç farklı ölçekle (FLACC,
VAS, WB ) ve birçok biyokimyasal parametre değerlendirildi.

Bulgular: Hastalarda VAS yatış ile VAS taburcu skorlar ara-
sında (p< 0.001) ve WB yatış ile WB taburcu skorları arasında

da anlamlı farklılık bulunmuştur (p<0.01). Ağrı skorları ile la-
boratuvar bulguları arasındaki ilişkilerinde VAS yatış skoru ile

CRP arasında anlamlı pozitif, VAS Yatış skoru ile üre ve krea-
tinin arasında anlamlı pozitif (p<0.01), VAS yatış ile CA değeri

arasında negatif yönlü, VAS taburcu skoru ile CRP ve üre ara-
sında anlamlı pozitif zayıf bir ilişki olduğu görüldü.

Sonuç: Tüm dünyayı etkisi altına alan “yeni bir virüs” tarafın-
dan oluşturulan etkiye bağlı ağrı skorları ile bazı biyokimyasal

değerler arasında ilişki vardır. Daha ileri çalışmalara ihtiyaç
vardır.
Case Study: Use of Dry Mix Concrete as a Substitute Material for Ready Mix Concrete on Development Projects OCC Building – Jabodebek Lrt Depot
Authors: Herry Shufi Raden , Ranap Tua Naibaho Pio
Published: April 2023

The construction of the OCC Building is the main target for all buildings that must be completed in the Depo LRT Jabodebek area, which is located in Jatimulya, East Bekasi. In writing this thesis, only explain the stages of the work of casting concrete for the building structure on upper of foundation. The condition of a very large area with various other construction works around it and very limited implementation time requires contractors to be creative and find solutions on the most effective and efficient methods. The construction of this OCC Building uses concrete construction with the quality of K-250 (fc'20.75 MPa) and K-350 (fc'29.05 MPa). The problem that occurs is because this located area between the side of the Jakarta-Cikampek Toll Road and the edge of Kalimalang, which also contains the Kalimalang highway, both of which are roads that have very heavy traffic flows, so an alternative method of concrete casting work is needed. This project uses 2 casting methods, is to use Ready Mix concrete and Dry Mix concrete. While the writing of this case study only reviews the aspects of quality, time, and cost if the construction method for casting uses only Dry Mix concrete as a replacement material for Ready Mix concrete. It can be concluded that if only viewed from the cost of casting, using Dry Mix concrete requires higher costs than Ready Mix, but if viewed as a whole from all aspects of work costs, using Dry Mix can increase time efficiency in project completion, so that it can affect cost efficiency which at the end of the project can be completed faster at lower costs. While from the results of data processing with the method of Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), Dry Mix concrete is preferred by respondents, it can be concluded that Dry Mix concrete is better than Ready Mix concrete for the construction project of OCC Building-Depo LRT Jabodebek
Perancangan Mesin Pencetak Paving Blok Hexagonal Diagonal 20 CM
Authors: Rande Edi , Jasman Jasman
Published: April 2023

Paving blocks are one of the most needed materials in rural and urban areas. In the East Luwu region, most of the paving blocks are produced by manual manufacture which takes a long time. Making paving blocks manually usually only compacts the sand grains that are collected or pounded on the mold. This method allows for air voids between the grains of sand which causes a decrease in the quality of the paving blocks. The purpose of this research or final project is to design a paving block making machine in the shape of a hexagonal with a diagonal of 20 cm that uses a hydraulic power press. The design consists of designing the form of the arrangement of the drawings and parts, the design of the manufacture, maintenance and work safety. The design result is a Hexagonal Block Paving Machine with a diagonal of 20 centimeters consisting of a hydraulic system, mold components, and a vibrating machine supported by a C profile steel frame (chanel steel) with a compression force of 3.2 tons. The hexagonal block paving machine with a diagonal of 20 centimeters is designed to produce eight paving blocks at one time.

Published: April 2023

Pertanian merupakan bagian yang sangat strategis dalam ketahanan pangan suatu negara, khususnya Indonesia. Tapi kadang kondisi pertanian dipandang sebelah mata, sehingga banyak petani kurang dapat perhatian dari negara sehingga kesejahteraan petani jauh dari harapan. Rendahnya nilai jual ditingkat petani menjadikan salah satu faktor rendahnya kesejahteraan petani, disamping itu juga kurangnya sosialisasi yang didapatkan petani dalam mengolah hasil pertanian agar tidak dijual secara mentah. Dengan adanya pemasaran yang baik dan pengelolaan hasil pertanian lanjutan menjadi produk dengan nilai tambah maka kesejahteraan petani akan semakin baik. Pengabdian masyarakat ini dihadiri sebanyak 15 kelompok tani, dimana 1 kelompok tani diwakilkan dengan sebanyak 2 orang. Adapun masalah yang dialami petani Desa Purba Dolok adalah kurangnya sosialisasi dalam mengolah biji kopi menjadi produk nilai tambah. Begitu juga dengan kurangnya sosialisasi dalam mengelola Cabe agar memberikan nilai tambah dimana selama ini petani hanya menjual dalam bentuk mentah. Kemudian dalam penentuan harga petani tidak berdaya sehingga berpatokan kepada harga yang ditawarkan oleh pedagang pengepul. Adapun tujuan Abdimas ini adalah memberikan sosialisasi nilai tambah produk pertanian unggulan agar dapat meningkatkan keuntungan petani dan memberikan kesadaran kepada petani khususnya kelompok tani akan kelemahan dalam memasarkan hasil pertaniannya untuk dapat meningkatkan keuntungan. Kemudian metode yang dilakukan dalam Abdimas ini adalah melakukan sosialisasi secara langsung apakah terdapat permasalahan dalam memasarkan hasil pertanian dan melakukan pendampingan bagaimana cara dalam meningkatkan nilai jual hasil pertanian, khususnya kopi dan cabe.
