The theme “Higher Education 4.0: Knowledge, Industry and Humanity”, mandated from Malaysia’s former Higher Education Minister Datuk Idris Jusoh. The minister identified that universities have to be trained to adapt and change the curriculum so that graduates are capable to fill in jobs which are yet to arise. This Fourth Industrial Revolution 4.0 as part of the call to revamp the Malaysia higher education system. There are nine Malaysia future-proof skills that has been listed under Ministry of Higher Education module on Framing Malaysian Higher Education 4.0 – future-proof talents. There are creativity and innovation; Holistic Entrepreneurial and Balanced; Resilience; leadership; Compassion and mindfulness; values and ethics; flexibility and adaptability; critical thinking and problem solving and finally communication and language proficiency. The above mentioned points are future-proof skills sets for Malaysian graduates. There are three additional future-proof attributes which are lifelong learners, multiple intelligence and competencies and computational thinking. This qualitative study explored the significant area in the recent digital technology and development hence, it will be one of the crucial knowledge that should be acquired by everyone and anyone not only in Malaysia but in the whole wide world. Technology is moving rapidly and educators have to keep up with this fast pace. This issue attentively allied with the terminology pioneered by Jeanette Wing that is called computational thinking (CT). The interviewed is carried out among eleven Malaysian pre-service teachers and existing teachers under PGCE (Post Graduate Certificate in Education) program in the United Kingdom, to study on their attitudes towards the idea of learning programming. Through the interviews, the researcher was able to record and interpret trainee teachers’ perceptions of the motivation to learn programming. The data were then analysed and categorised before the final codes were determined to get the final output using thematic code analysis technique. The findings show that learning programming is possible for those who had no computing background thus answered one of the aim of this study that CT skills could be adopted in any fields and more creators or designers will be established compared to the passive users. There was a rational consideration of the value of learning programming to their professional skills and the studies have asked whether understanding such will raise the participants’ engagement with learning a programming language and thus assist them to acquire CT skill.

Este texto é uma escrita-performance, inspirada metodologicamente na escrita rizomática de Deleuze e Guattari e na proposta de escrita performativa de Peggy Phellan, uma pesquisa-narrativa que se debruça sobre um espetáculo artístico-cultural de rua, em Salvador (Beco da OFF, Barra), protagonizado por uma artista drag queen da cidade de Salvador, Valerie O’rarah: performance propositadamente artificial e encenada, em que se lança um olhar sobre a noite soteropolitana e aqueles que circulam por ruas, becos e vielas, uma urbe cheia de contradições, encantos e conflitos. A persona encarnada como narrador é a do flâneur, vagabundo e errante urbano relido pela poética baudelairiana e experimentada por João do Rio, Walter Benjamin, entre outros. Esse errante urbano se perde pela metrópole, entre os fluxos e devires dos encontros e possibilidades de uma noite imprevisível: por um instante e um descuido, ele se depara e se encanta com o espetáculo e o contempla. O encontro do flâneur com Valerie O’rarah e essa noite quente e arriscada é uma experiência de choque e de alteridade radical, identidades que se fragmentam e se complementam na multidão misteriosa e soturna da cidade de Salvador.Palavras-chave: Performance; Escrita; Urbanidades; Gênero; Arte drag. AbstractThis text is a performance writing, methodologically inspired by the rhizomatic writing of Deleuze and Guattari and Peggy Phellan’s performative writing proposal, a narrative research that focuses on a street artistic-cultural spectacle in Salvador (Beco da OFF, Barra), starring a drag queen artist from the city of Salvador, Valerie O’rarah: performance, therefore, purposely  artificial and contrived, it takes a look at the soteropolitan night and those who wander through its streets and alleys, a metropolis full of contradiction, enchantment and conflicts.

Published: September 2021

O corpo, o lugar, o imaginário constituem três núcleos de interrogações na prática artística de Anna Bella Geiger cujo gesto crítico consiste em salientar as passagens e imperfeições nos sistemas de representação, desestabilizando esquemas simbólicos em prol das imagens e suas transformações. Os três núcleos não formam polos estanques ou fases. Interpenetram-se, comunicam-se, contaminam-se por força das passagens, da circulação, da transmissão que corrói as formas e as aparências, quer camuflando, esquecendo ou substituindo representações, quer cruzando as fronteiras dos enquadramentos, das convenções, dos esquemas normativos. As “situações” de Anna Bella Geiger ajudam a compreender outra modalidade da participação do espectador.Palavras-chave: O corpo na arte; Cartografias artísticas; Arte contemporânea. AbstractThe body, the place, the imaginary constitute three cores of interrogations in the artistic practice of Anna Bella Geiger whose critical gesture consists of highlighting passages and imperfections in the systems of representation, destabilizing symbolic schemes in favor of images and their transformations.

An Application of the Internet of Things on Sustainable Aquaculture System
Authors: K SANTHOSH
Published: September 2021

Hydroponics is one of the human significant food sources. This paper proposed the model of the system, Feasible Fish-Farming System (SFFS), which can make the water cultivating framework more practical, employing applying the Internet of things (IoT) to lessen the need for energy for controlling the climate. Little freshwater fish species (SFFs) (length <25 cm) are exceptionally plentiful in nutrient A, calcium, iron and so on and consequently can add to social wellbeing through a supplement to country networks. Under the pressing factor of broad current rural practices and aimless collecting, loads of SFFs are step by step declining, and their environments and favourable places are likewise being crumbled at a quicker rate. A superior protectionist approach could be the carp-SFFS combination which will decrease aimless mass catch fishing of SFFs and will guarantee the preservation of normal SFFs stocks in their territories giving financial advantage to partners. Various investigations have effectively showed an example of overcoming adversity of SFF polyculture through carp—SFFs joining. This creation cum preservation practice prompts manageability—a superior term in the fishery is 'social fishery'. The part that needs consideration is the taking care of nature of SFFs to comprehend inside and between species (with carps) food apportioning and living space inclination as better culture cum conservational approach. Exploration in hydroponics is a contribution to increment settled creation. In the last decade, different researchers have supported attempts that came about in advancing current creation advances that have altered homestead creation. Fish developing is having the chance to be a champion among the most remunerating ambitious activities on account of the low advancement, insignificant exertion course of action-adventure and the 3 to half-year gathering cycles. IoT advancements have altered homestead creation in the country. In this paper, we propose an idea to distinguish far off observing the fish cultivating framework by utilizing the different sensors to diminish the dangers. In this paper, we utilize different sensors like pH worth, temperature and level sensors. By utilizing these sensors, all the work is mechanized, and it will likewise be not challenging to screen the fish cultivating distantly from other areas. The SFFS coordinates the sun-based homestead and fish-ranch to lessen the additional energy input. Furthermore, the lighting of LEDs is utilized to help the photosynthesis in the evening. This way is more energy-proficient than the customary siphoning. Besides, this model shows the subjective accessibility of SFFS.
A novel strategy for treating cancer: understanding the role of Ca2+ signaling from nociceptive TRP channels in regulating cancer progression
Authors: Hsu Wen-Li , Noda Mami , Yoshioka Tohru , Ito Etsuro
Published: September 2021

Cancer is an aging-associated disease and caused by genomic instability that is driven by the accumulation of mutations and epimutations in the aging process. Although Ca2+ signaling, reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation, DNA damage response (DDR) and senescence inflammation response (SIR) are processed during genomic instability, the underlying mechanism for the cause of genomic instability and cancer development is still poorly understood and needs to be investigated. Nociceptive transient receptor potential (TRP) channels, which firstly respond to environmental stimuli, such as microbes, chemicals or physical injuries, potentiate regulation of the aging process by Ca2+ signaling. In this review, the authors provide an explanation of the dual role of nociceptive TRP channels in regulating cancer progression, initiating cancer progression by aging-induced genomic instability, and promoting malignancy by epigenetic regulation. Thus, therapeutically targeting nociceptive TRP channels seems to be a novel strategy for treating cancers.
Los laicos en una Iglesia sinodal
Authors: García Maestro Juan Pablo
Published: September 2021

Tres son los aspectos que reavivan la sinodalidad: en primer lugar, la escucha, es decir, la sensibilidad y la apertura a las opiniones de los otros; escuchar es tanto más importante cuanto más se asciende en la jerarquía. El segundo aspecto es la corresponsabilidad, porque el caminar juntos no puede acaecer sin la corrección fraterna que purifica a la Iglesia de los errores y la hace avanzar. El tercer aspecto es la participación de los laicos que, como miembros de pleno derecho de la Iglesia, están llamados a expresarse y a hacer sugerencias. No solo deben ser acogidos, también deber ser escuchados. Este es el rumbo marcado por el Concilio Vaticano II, pero todavía poco seguido.
Performance of Generalized Receiver Employed by Broadband Multicarrier DS-CDMA System Using Space-Time Spreading-Assisted Transmit Diversity
Authors: Tuzlukov Vyacheslav
Published: September 2021

In this paper the multicarrier direct-sequence code-division multiple access (MC DS-CDMA) using space-time spreading assisted transmit diversity is investigated in the context of broadband wireless communi-cations systems constructed based on the generalized approach to signal processing in noise over frequency-se-lective Rayleigh fading channels. We consider the issue of parameter design for the sake of achieving high-ef-ficiency communications in various dispersive environments. In contrast to the conventional MC DS-CDMA wireless communication system employing the time (T)-domain spreading only, in the present paper the broad-band wireless MC DS-CDMA wireless communication schemes employ both the time (T)-domain and frequen-cy (F)-domain spreading, i.e., employ the TF-domain spreading. The bit-error rate (BER) performance of the space-time spreading assisted broadband MC DS-CDMA wireless communications system is investigated for down-link transmissions associated with the single user and multiuser generalized detectors and is compared with that of the single user correlation detector and the multiuser decorrelating detector. Our study demonstra-tes that with appropriately selecting the system parameters, the broadband MC DS-CDMA wireless communi-cation system using the space-time spreading assisted transmit diversity constitutes a promising downlink tran-smission scheme. This scheme is capable to support ubiquitous communications over diverse communication environments without the BER performance degradation

Độ từ cảm trong cột địa tầng này sẽ mang thông tin về thời tiết khi nó hình thành. 185 mẫu từ cảm (mỗi mẫu cách nhau 1cm) được thu thập dọc theo chiều sâu 184 cm mặt cắt đã có các nghiên cứu về khảo cổ tại hang C6.1 Đăk Nông. Các phép đo từ cảm được tiến hành tại phòng Địa từ, viện Vật lý Địa cầu. Kết quả MS được phân chia thành 8 vùng từ, lần lượt là C6.1-1 đến C6.1-8. Trong đó vùng từ C6.1-1, C6.1-3, C6.1-5, C6.1-7 tương ứng với thời tiết lạnh khô, còn các vùng từ C6.1-2, C6.1-4, C6.1-6, C6.1-8 tương ứng với thời tiết ấm hơn. Phân tích Fourie số liệu từ cảm cho thấy có 3 dải chu kỳ có ý nghĩa với độ tin cậy MTM trên 95%. Dựa trên bộ số liệu tuổi tuyệt đối đo được (C14) chúng tôi ngoại suy và xác định được khoảng tuổi của mặt cắt nghiên cứu là 2.200 năm và 3 chu kỳ thời tiết đồng thời xảy ra trong giai đoạn này là: Kỳ 562 năm, 375 năm và 281 năm. Trong khoảng mặt cắt nghiên cứu giai đoạn 6,768 – 6,954 năm BP lượng mưa lớn đột ngôt gấp 5 đến 30 lần so với các khoảng thời gian khác
Stratigraphy and petrophysical characteristics of Lower Paleocene cool-water carbonates, Faxe quarry, Denmark

The Faxe limestone quarry in eastern Denmark exposes Danian (Lower Paleocene) cool-water carbonate deposits. They constitute remnants of an apparent build-up that covers about 12 km2 today. The Danian deposits at Faxe are conspicuous due to their pronounced thickness of coral limestone relative to the regional carbonate system. In the Faxe quarry, scleractinian corals are uniquely exposed in up to 30 m high mounds. The rapid accumulation of scleractinians combined with induration of the mounds may locally have protected the limestone from Quaternary glacial erosion and created a Danian thickness anomaly at Faxe. The position of Faxe above a local fault-bounded basement high and the extent of coral limestone has been better defined by new mapping. A mapped lithostratigraphic surface in the quarry reveals the large-scale organisation of nested bryozoan mounds on three elongated ridges striking NW–SE. The main scleractinian coral mounds are located above this horizon. Data for reservoir characterisation, mainly of the bryozoan mounds, were collected as photographs of the outcrop, petrophysical and petrographical data from cored boreholes, and as ground-penetrating radar sections. Old boreholes and measured sections were used to reconstruct the build-up, and new nannofossil data allow a discussion of stratigraphy and accumulation rate. The petrophysical data show that common mound-building bryozoan packstone has higher permeability and lower capillary entry pressure than chalk, whereas less commonly occurring grain-dominated packstone and grainstone deposits from local higher-energy sites of the mound complex were found to have reduced amounts of coccolith mud, significantly higher permeability and a higher degree of lithification. Based on biostratigraphic age constraints, correlation of flint – limestone couplets and recog-nised hierarchical patterns, we develop a cyclostratigraphy for the middle Danian and suggest that cyclicity in lithology and petrophysical characteristics of bryozoan limestone are controlled by precession and eccentricity of the orbit of the Earth.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui penerapan sistem pengendalian internal pada PT Daya Surya Sejahtera dalam pengelolaan persediaan barang dagang. Jenis penelitian yang digunakan adalah deskriptif dengan pendekatan kualitatif. Data yang digunakan adalah data primer yang diperoleh dari hasil wawancara kepada kepala divisi, wakil divisi, operasional manager, wakil kepala outlet. Penelitian ini menggunakan triangulasi sumber untuk menguji kevalidan data dan teknik analisis data yang digunakan adalah reduksi data, penyajian data, dan verifikasi. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa sistem pengendalian internal dalam pengelolaan persediaan barang dagang di PT Daya Surya Sejahtera sudah dilaksanakan dengan baik. Dalam pelaksanaannya perusahaan sudah memiliki kode etik dan struktur organisasi yang memisahkan tugas dan fungsi setiap bagian. Perusahaan sudah memiliki dokumen untuk mencatat terjadinya transaksi penjualan dan pembelian barang secara sistematis melalui program AKTIVISI dan selalu dilakukan pengecekan. Permasalahan yang masih dialami perusahaan yaitu sering mengalami ketidakcocokan hasil akhir persediaan antara bukti fisik dengan database. Hal ini dikarenakan kelalaian karyawan yang tidak memperhatikan SOP. Permasalahan lain yaitu dalam kegiatan pengawasan, meskipun perusahaan sudah memilik tim SPI namun belum memilik audit internal sehingga kegiatan pengawasan kurang maksimal.
