Abstract. Water is essential for survival. Currently, there are requirements to monitor, assess, and classify water quality to understand the impact of industrialization. The water quality classification process has been carried out using traditional methods such as WQI and Storet, and machine learning methods. Imbalanced data in machine learning method can make this method have a tendency to predict the majority class and become biased. In addition, using all features in the classification process can degrade classification performance and lead to high computation time. To overcome the above-mentioned problems, this study proposes several approaches, included resampling the data to be balanced, determined the most suitable and contributing features, and compared the performance of machine learning algorithms in classifying potable water. The results of handling unbalanced data and implementing feature selection were able to provide increased work on the algorithm, especially the accuracy metric reached 24.8% from previous study. The most optimal algorithm performance was obtained from Random Forest with 87% of precision, 84% of recall, 16% of Miss rate, 85% of F-measure, and 85% of test accuracy, while used seven best features. However, another important aspect is the smallest Miss rate, which was 15%, obtained from Decision Tree algorithm.

Published: May 2022

The spread of Mycobacterium tuberculosis drug resistance accentuates the demand for anti-tuberculosis drugs with a fundamentally new mechanism of action without conferring cross-resistance. G-quadruplexes (G4, non-canonical DNA structures) are plausible new drug targets. Although G4-stabilizing ligands have been shown to inhibit mycobacterial growth, the exact mechanism of their action is uncertain. The aim of this study was to assess a possible correlation between putative G4 elements in a model mycobacterial strain M. smegmatis MC2155 and transcriptomic changes under the action of subinhibitory concentrations of G4 ligands BRACO-19 and TMPyP4. We also planned to compare the results with corresponding data previously obtained by us using higher, inhibitory concentrations of these ligands. For BRACO-19, we identified 589 (316↑; 273↓) and 865 (555↑; 310↓) differentially expressed genes at 5 µМ and 10 µМ, respectively. For TMPyP4, we observed the opposite trend, the number of differentially expressed genes decreased at higher concentration of the ligand: 754 (337↑; 417↓) and 702 (359↑; 343↓) for 2 µМ and 4 µМ, respectively. Statistical analysis revealed no correlation between ligand-induced transcriptomic changes and genomic localization of the putative quadruplex-forming sequences. At the same time, the data indicate certain functional specificity of the ligand-mediated transcriptomic effects, with TMPyP4 significantly affecting expression levels of transcription factors and arginine biosynthesis genes and BRACO-19 significantly affecting expression levels of iron metabolism and replication and reparation system genes.
The Influence of Climatic Factors on the Distribution of Noise from Gas Distribution Stations
Authors:   NRU MPEI, Tupov Vladimir B. , Skvortsov Vitaliy S. ,   NRU MPEI
Published: May 2022

The article discusses the influence of regional climatic factors on the propagation of noise from gas distribution stations (GDS), which are intense sources of noise for the surrounding area, and suggests a procedure for determining the required extent of noise reduction. GDSs produce high-frequency noise with the maximum values at the octave band central frequencies equal to 1000, 2000, 4000, and 8000 Hz. It is shown that climatic factors have quite a significant influence on the propagation of high-frequency noise from gas distribution stations precisely at the octave band central frequencies equal to 1000, 2000, 4000, 8000 Hz. The sound pressure levels may vary very significantly during a year depending on the region due to sound attenuation factors in the atmosphere. The climatic data for 210 cities of Russia were analyzed. The data on variation of climatic conditions during a year for these cities are taken from the Code SP 131.13330.2012. These changes for the octave band central frequency equal to 4000 Hz can make from the minimum range of 5.61 dB in the Sochi city region to the maximum range of 19.35 dB in the Chita city region; for the octave band central frequency equal to 8000 Hz they can make from the minimum range of 14.58 dB in the Elton city region to the maximum range of 48.63 dB in the Chita city region. The difference between the range smallest and largest values increases with the octave band central frequency. Thus, for the octave band central frequency equal to 1000 Hz this difference is 3 dB, whereas for the octave band central frequency equal to 8000 Hz this difference is 34 dB. The influence of climatic factors on the required extent of noise reduction from a GDS depends significantly on the region and can make tens of decibels for a combined heat and power plant with a 300-m wide sanitary protection zone. Therefore, for elaborating the necessary measures for reducing noise from a GDS, it is necessary to take into account the minimum atmospheric sound absorption coefficient for a particular region.

Malaysia has a long history of environmental issues. The Malaysian government has implemented deterrent and supportive strategies to reduce the issue by penalising polluters and providing tax incentives to encourage green technology developments. However, these strategies are ineffective since the number of pollution issues keeps increasing, and the Malaysia Environmental Performance Index (EPI) 2020 score has dropped. Many countries have implemented carbon tax to mitigate some environmental issues following the recommendation by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development. The carbon tax has proven to be an effective strategy not only to reduce environmental problems but also to increase government revenues. This conceptual paper aims to give a brief review of literature for future studies in implementing a carbon tax policy in Malaysia. It is hoped that the findings will assist the Malaysian government in implementing a carbon tax policy to reduce environmental issues and as a strategy to widen its tax base Keywords: environmental issues, carbon tax, Malaysia, pollutions, income tax base

The government has taken drastic measures to control the spread of virus transmission during the Covid-19 disaster. In a Movement Control Order, the public was advised to stay at home and practice social imprisonment of infected persons for risk management purposes. The government has spread public awareness and encouraged the public to stay safe and healthy from infectious viruses using media channels. The mass media plays a significant role in providing information and understanding about the disease and helps protect the elderly and those with basic health problems from being infected. This research examined: (1) the role of media transparency on public awareness and knowledge of the infected virus, which in turn influences their attitudes; (2) to determine the influence of media transparency on the attitudes of the people. A survey method was applied to 338 respondents consisting of young people living in Johor. Data were analysed using SmartPLS, and the findings indicated that the role of media transparency has a significant impact on the attitudes of this generation Z. In addition, it was also found that awareness and knowledge mediated the role of media and their attitudes. These findings can guide policymakers to promote greater awareness to reduce and manage possible risks during disasters. Moreover, the media plays an important role not only in channeling news but can influence human awareness, knowledge, and attitudes.

This study examined the effects of financial leverage on firm performance that focussed on Shariah-listed Consumer Products & Services firms in Malaysia from 2014 to 2018. The data for firm performance was Tobin's Q and return on asset, while debt-asset ratio, debt-equity ratio, and tangibility were indicators of financial leverage. This study applied a balanced panel regression model, including the pooled regression model, fixed-effect model, and random effect model. The results indicated that Tobin's Q is the best model to identify the impact of financial leverage on Shariah firm performance. The outcome showed that the financial leverage indicators had a significant and negative effect on Shariah firm's performance, in line with the assumption of the pecking order theory assumptions that internal financing will be the first option of financing compared to external financing. Keywords: Shariah firms, financial leverage, firm performance, Tobin’s Q, internal financing
An Overview of Efficiency and Profitability in Islamic Banking: A Comparative Study between Islamic Banking and Conventional Banking
Authors:   King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah 21589, Saudi Arabia, Alandejani Maha
Published: May 2022

Islamic banks are similar to conventional banks, but differ in some practices, financial contracts, and transactions. The functions and transactions of Islamic Banking and Finance (IBF) are based on Sharia principles, which involve risk sharing. Therefore, there is a significant difference in the applications of lending and investment between Islamic and conventional banks. This review paper aims to map IBF- measurement that related to efficiency and profitability issues, by presenting briefly the nature of IBF, including the prohibition of interest and gambling, with the definition of IBF instruments. It reviews the most valuable existing empirical literature that investigated the efficiency and profitability of Islamic banking, which shows that the business model and techniques for measuring performance in Islamic banking does not differ significantly from that of conventional banking. This paper also discusses the critical terms in the financial methods that are used in IBF studies. It is found that the objectives of profit maximisation and cost minimisation are not vital for IBF and the performance of Islamic banks should be evaluated with indication of the level of promoting socio-economic development. Our finding concludes that, the social objectives of Islamic banks can be achieved after adapting new structures, not only for Islamic banks, but also for central banks, and banking regulations

Published: May 2022

This paper presented the modeling of simplified 3D woven fabric in tensile and bending behavior. The modeling technique used to simulate woven fabric using finite element analysis and incorporated with Abaqus software. 3D means that the woven fabric features in software having three dimensions which are horizontal, vertical, and depth (x, y, and z) dimensions. The simplified 3D woven fabric model is treated with various parameters on modulus and mesh size to study realistic stress-strain and force-displacement fields. Therefore, the important detailed FEA for modeling woven fabric requires setting geometric parameters such as dimension fabric structures, loads, pressure, boundary conditions to simulate the successful assumption on the mechanical performance of the fabric. The model is first used to simulate tensile and bending under various modulus. Each simulation shows the highest modulus give the higher stress and lowest strain for tensile simulation and higher force and lowest displacement for bending simulation. In a second step, different mesh size has been added to the model with the same modulus, show the smaller mesh size gives the accurate analysis. The prediction results of tensile and bending simulation presented in strain-stress and force-displacement curve, respectively based on modulus and mesh size.

Published: May 2022

The objective of this study was to optimize the epoxidation of fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) derived from Jatropha oil. This experiment was carried out with peracetic acid generated in situ by using hydrogen peroxide and acetic acid. A response surface methodology (RSM) central composite design (CCD) was used, with one response variable, the percentage (%) of epoxidation yield. The factors evaluated were temperature (50-80°C), the molar ratio of hydrogen peroxide (HP) to unsaturation (1.1-2 mol), the molar ratio of acetic acid (AA) to unsaturation (0.5-0.8 mol), and time (2-7 hours). The optimum percentage of epoxidation yield (90.98%) was at the condition of 65°C reaction temperature, HP to unsaturation molar ratio of 2.19, AA to unsaturation molar ratio of 0.65 for 6 hours. The formation of epoxides product (oxirane) was confirmed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy oxirane peaks (doublet) at 825 and 843 cm-1. The result showed good agreement with the predicted values from the RSM model.

The formative assessment that is increasingly required in the context of a competency-focused university is supported by various assessment methods and tools. One of these is the student's learning portfolio, an evaluation method that can maximize the potential and individuality of each student. If correctly applied in the university practice, the portfolio is an objective tool for assessing the level of knowledge and skills in the field of the discipline. At the same time, it offers real feedback and the possibility of optimizing the educational activity, both for the student and the teacher. This article presents a quantitative interpretation of students' views on how the portfolio used during a semester, in the context of online teaching, has contributed to the acquisition of knowledge and skills specific to the discipline, personal, and professional skills. Based on the students' responses positive and negative aspects of the teaching, learning, and evaluation specific to the discipline were identified in the current pandemic context, to valorize and optimize them.

"In general, undesirable behaviors of people and particularly of children occur due to a lack of socioemotional skills and competences. The training and development of these skills begins in the family environment, the first environment with which the preschooler came into contact. However, preschool is the period of accelerated development on all levels: physical, cognitive and socioemotional. These periods develop the basic skills (cognitive, emotional and social) so necessary for adaptation to adult life. From the moment when children are received in kindergarten, the teacher must model their teaching discourse and behavior, in order to establish a network of appropriate and secure social relationships, in which each participant (child) to feel valued and confident, to express his inner experiences: thoughts, emotions, desires, motivations and so on. The aim of this study was to implement and test the effectiveness of an educational intervention program based on puppet theatre in order to develop emotional abilities (recognition of personal and other people’s emotions) and social abilities (social interaction, problem solving, respect for rules and tolerance). The results showed that puppet theatre contributes statistically significantly to the development of socio-emotional abilities in preschoolers, and after calculating the effect size, a strong effect was demonstrated for emotional expressiveness, regulation of socio-emotional response, empathy, self-image and cooperation, and in terms of social interaction the proposed intervention program had a medium effect."
Reproduction of Spatial Planning Roles
Authors: Lamker Christian , Marjanović Marjan
Published: May 2022

Planning scholars use complexity perspectives to account for unpredictable societal circumstances in an uncertain and changing world. Questions emerge not only about how planning communication and action can transform but more so about the planner’s ability to navigate the complex relational dynamics of planning. To move forward, we use Gilles Deleuze’s concept of assemblage thinking to frame spatial planning as a continually changing multiplicity of diverse entities and emerging dynamic relations among them. Niklas Luhmann’s social systems theory then helps to promote a perspective on planners as a multiplicity of roles grounded in continuously evolving self-descriptions and self-developed meanings. Planners achieve the organisation (navigation) in an uncertain and complex environment through the reproduction of roles. This paper positions planning as a self-reflexive process that uses a multiplicity of role configurations that ultimately defines and transforms the meaning of planning itself.

Málaga y la amenaza de Barbarroja en 1534
Authors: Gutiérrez Cruz Rafael
Published: May 2022

En los primeros meses de 1534, Hayreddin Barbarroja, flamante almirante de la flota otomana, parte desde Estambul para una campaña en el Mediterráneo occidental. El objetivo de este artículo es ofrecer una aproximación al estudio de las medidas puestas en marcha, por Carlos I y por la ciudad de Málaga, para hacer frente a esta amenaza. Su base fundamental es la documentación, en gran parte inédita, procedente del Archivo General de Simancas y del Archivo Municipal de Málaga. Estas fuentes nos han permitido conocer la situación de las fortificaciones de la ciudad, analizar los efectivos militares con los que contaba para su defensa y comprobar el importante papel que el arsenal malagueño desempeñaba en la estrategia imperial.
Los Infantes de Granada y sus descendientes (1492-1605). La reivindicación de una herencia
Authors: López de Coca Castañer José Enrique
Published: May 2022

Los príncipes Sa`d y Nasr eran hijos del emir Muley Hacén y su segunda esposa, Soraya. Fueron bautizados como D. Fernando y D. Juan de Granada. Su madre sería Dª Isabel de Granada. Casi todas sus propiedades habían sido confiscadas antes de 1492. Los infantes y su madre trataron de recuperar el patrimonio familiar, pero sin éxito. Mientras el primogénito del infante D. Juan volvía a intentarlo, sus hermanos renunciaron a sus derechos a cambio de que la Corona les diera pensiones en metálico. Las reclamaciones hechas por la siguiente generación fueron respondidas de manera similar. Los documentos generados por estos conflictos legales nos ayudan a conocer mejor la historia del linaje Granada.

Authors: Méndez Baiges Maite
Published: May 2022

En este artículo se examina el proyecto en curso de Cristina Iglesias, Hondalea, para la Casa del Faro de la Isla de Santa Clara en Donostia/San Sebastián. Las directrices de esta pieza se confrontan con las líneas de fuerza de las obras que conforman la trayectoria artística de la escultora, poniendo de relieve los fundamentos de su gramática. Tras el análisis de algunas de las nociones principales del conjunto de su trayectoria, se vincula Hondalea a otras obras anteriores en las que aparecen elementos semejantes. Por último, se exponen los argumentos que están barajando distintas instancias acerca del grado de sostenibilidad que presenta el proyecto y el posible impacto sobre su enclave.

Authors: Campos Martín Natalia
Published: May 2022

En una España, la de posguerra, marcada por el blanco y negro, el nodo, las carencias y la persecución ideológica y política de los vencidos de la Guerra Civil española, sorprende ver y oír, aunque sea en el tono del NODO (así suena la voz del marqués de Villa Alcázar en los documentales), a un ilustrado multilingüe que propone alternativas novedosas a la práctica tradicional de la agricultura y la ganadería y a la percepción del entorno y del paisaje, entre otros temas, a la vez que retrata a la España de una época, algo de incalculable valor para el estudio de este período de la historia de nuestro país desde un punto de vista histórico, científico, antropológico, político y social.

Marcas pragmático-textuales de oralidad en Los Cuentos de mi tía Panchita y su traducción del español al inglés
Authors: Vargas Castro Ericka
Published: May 2022

En este artículo se realiza un análisis de la traducción del español al inglés de componentes con función pragmática como parte de los rasgos de «oralidad fingida» en Los cuentos de mi tía Panchita de la escritora costarricense Carmen Lyra. En particular, se rastrean las interjecciones, onomatopeyas y vocativos. Para ello, se procede a elaborar un corpus de estos recursos en español y su respectiva versión inglesa, se contabilizan las técnicas de traducción empleadas y se realizan observaciones en términos cuantitativos y cualitativos. Los resultados demuestran que la dificultad de traducción se incrementa cuando convergen en el elemento lingüístico los aspectos universales de la inmediatez comunicativa con los histórico-idiomáticos relacionados con la variedad distrática, diafásica y diatópica seleccionada para imitar la oralidad costarricense en el periodo de escritura. Además, se identificó la importancia de evaluar no solo el valor semántico, sino el pragmático de las selecciones utilizadas en la versión original con el fin de transmitir un efecto discursivo equivalente en el texto meta.
La traducción del lenguaje jurídico en la novela histórica La casa alemana
Authors: Castillo Bernal Pilar
Published: May 2022

El presente artículo se centra en la novela histórica La casa alemana y su traducción del alemán al español, dado el éxito internacional que ha obtenido y la importancia del tema: los procesos de Auschwitz celebrados en Frankfurt en la década de 1960. El objetivo es determinar cómo puede traducirse el lenguaje de especialidad en un texto literario, más concretamente una novela histórica. A tal fin se ha extraído el lenguaje jurídico presente en la novela y se ha analizado su traducción cuantitativa y cualitativamente con base en las técnicas empleadas. Los resultados muestran un esfuerzo por parte de la traductora para trasvasar el contexto histórico-jurídico de la manera más precisa posible, al tiempo que realiza las adaptaciones necesarias para cumplir la función estética del texto literario. Los hallazgos no coinciden con trabajos anteriores que detectaron una fuerte desterminologización en textos similares y sus traducciones.
Interferencias lingüísticas en la traducción: recursos y actividades prácticas francés/español-catalán para mejorar la competencia escrita
Authors: Cunillera-Domènech Montserrat , Bernal Elisenda , Marfany Marta
Published: May 2022

El presente estudio propone mejoras en el planteamiento de la práctica docente y se ha concebido a raíz de la implantación de un nuevo marco docente denominado Edvolució en la Universitat Pompeu Fabra (Barcelona). Nuestra propuesta se basa en diseñar y elaborar un recurso docente que ayude a desarrollar la competencia escrita en lengua catalana a partir de la prevención de interferencias lingüísticas de otras lenguas como el francés y el español. Asimismo, pretende fomentar la autonomía del estudiante en su proceso de aprendizaje y el trabajo colaborativo entre profesores de asignaturas afines. El recurso tendrá la forma de un repositorio en línea de ejercicios y actividades prácticas que los estudiantes podrán realizar acompañados del docente o de manera autónoma, dentro o fuera del aula.
Percepciones estudiantiles sobre la adquisición de los saberes en la enseñanza y el aprendizaje de la traducción

Published: May 2022

El objetivo de esta investigación fue analizar las percepciones de los estudiantes sobre la adquisición de saberes al egresar de la primera generación del Diplomado en Estudios de Traducción e Interpretación de la Universidad Veracruzana (UV), México. El enfoque es cualitativo y tiene una orientación descriptiva y narrativa. En este trabajo se utilizó como estrategia metodológica el estudio de caso y como técnica de investigación el grupo focal. La población de estudio estuvo conformada por 18 estudiantes. Para examinar los datos se empleó el análisis de contenido cualitativo, el cual permitió reconocer particularidades sobre el proceso educativo de los aprendices. Se identificó que los estudiantes aprendieron aspectos básicos de los estudios de traducción. Sus experiencias educativas fueron de utilidad para reflexionar en los cambios y/o propuestas para la siguiente generación del diplomado y la implementación de un posgrado en traducción.
La intimidad invisible. Fotografía e infancia en la Guerra Civil española
Authors: Alonso Riveiro Mónica
Published: May 2022

La Guerra Civil Española supuso un nuevo modo de fotografiar una contienda: se ampliaron tanto la cantidad de imágenes como el repertorio de acontecimientos, adquiriendo la representación de la infancia singular importancia. También en la fotogra-fía doméstica, afianzada a mediados de los años 30, el niño comienza a ocupar un papel central como símbolo de la supervivencia familiar en medio de la catástrofe. Sin embargo, si examinamos el imaginario de la infancia que la guerra nos ha legado constataremos que hoy privilegiamos una serie limitada de imágenes entre las que la fotografía familiar parece no existir o se con-funde con las imágenes de la Historia. El pre-sente artículo se interroga acerca de esta indefinición y esta reducción, explicándolas por dos movimientos aparentemente opues-tos. En primer lugar, un agenciamiento de lo privado con fines políticos e ideológicos y, junto a este, una adecuación de la fotografía privada a códigos establecidos por fotografías de circulación pública, ya fueran informativas o propagandísticas en un paradójico círculo vicioso que ha limitado drásticamente nues-tro panorama visual memorial. Abstract: The Spanish Civil War was a new way of taking pictures in a conflict. It extended both the number of images and the subjects represented, where the childhood took a singular importance. Also, in the family photography at the 30’s, the child started to be symbol of the family survival in the middle of the catastrophe. Although, if we review the childhood’s imaginary, we will prove that today it is limited of a few images. Between all these limited staff, family photography seems not to exist or it is mixed with the historical photography. This paper questions this mixture, which it explains by a paradox: on one hand, it shows how the intimate image it is utilised whit ideological ends. On the other hand, the private images were adapted to the propaganda model of photography.
