Machas de inundação no município de Itajubá-MG
Authors: Tonelli Faria Caik Elisio , Barbosa Alexandre Augusto
Published: August 2020

Problemas e catástrofes geradas por ações da natureza são cíclicos na história de nosso planeta.Um desses problemas, se não o principal e mais recorrente, são as inundações que vêm ocasionando diversos prejuízos tanto para a população quanto para os municípios em geral. Com o município de Itajubá-MG não é diferente. Principalmente por ter se desenvolvido às margens do rio Sapucaí, tem passado por problemas com inundações desde a sua fundação em 1819. No ano 2000, foi registrada uma das suas maiores inundações, que afetou 80% da sua população urbana. Atualmente, devido aos avanços da tecnologia, problemas referentes às inundações podem ser diagnosticados e evitados, utilizando-se programas computacionais, como Autocad e Global Mapper, com os quais, dentro deste trabalho, pôde-se se ter a real noção das áreas dentro do município em estudo susceptíveis a enchentes e inundações. Como principal resultado, observou-se uma mancha de inundação ocupando 65% da área urbana total do município, o que pode servir como base para realizar obras de prevenção e permitir um avanço municipal controlado. A partir desse levantamento pode-se ter a representação da fragilidade da cidade quanto a problemas ambientais decorrentes das chuvas torrenciais. Percebe-se a necessidade de um maior e melhor planejamento do crescimento urbano, por parte dos órgãos regulamentadores, adotando-se estratégias para o desenvolvimento eficiente e sustentável da região.

Flood spots in municipality of Itajubá-mg
Abstract
Problems and disasters generated by nature actions are cyclical in the history of our planet. One of these problems , maybe the major and most frequent, are the flooding which has been causing many losses for both the population and the municipalities in general. In the city of Itajubá -MG it is not different. Mainly because the city is located in the banks of the Sapucai river, it has experienced problems with flooding since its foundation in 1819. In 2000, the city faced one of its biggest floods, which affected 80% of its urban population. Currently, due to advances in technology, problems related to flooding can be diagnosed and prevented by using computer programs such as Autocad and Global Mapper, which ones, in this work, allow us to have a good idea about areas in the studied city, that could be potentially affected by floods. As the best result,  one flood spot occupying 65% of the urban area of the city was observed. The information can be used for preventing actions and as a base for a mediated growing. From this results, it is possible to measure how fragile is the city regarding to environmental problems related to storms, which requires that regulatory organizations make a bigger and better growing planning for the urban areas, applying strategies for the efficient and sustainable development in the region.

Authors: Permatananda Pande Ayu Naya , Budi Apsari Putu Indah , Harkitasari Saktivi
Published: August 2020

Background: Among the cause of the treatment failure in epilepsy, low adherence to prescribed medication is the principal cause of unsuccessful drug treatment. The aim of this study was to assess the level of adherence and the relations with quality of life among epilepsy patients in Denpasar.

Method: Our research based on cross sectional design and conducted in neurology department of tertiary referral hospital in Denpasar. We used Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS) to measure level of adherence and World Health Organization (WHOQOL-BREF) questionnaire to assess quality of life (QOL) score.

Results: On this research, we found 83 epilepsy patients who fulfilled eligibility criteria, there are 43 patients categorized as non-adherent and 39 patients belong to adherent. Based on the cross tabulation between characteristic of participants and adherence, we found that age and duration of therapy influence the adherence level of epilepsy patient (p value < 0.05). Epilepsy patients who adherent to the treatment have higher score of QOL than epilepsy patients who not adherent, especially on physical domain of QOL, the difference was statistically significant (p value < 0.05).

Conclusion: Improving adherence is so important to improve the quality of life of epilepsy patients.
A PHENOMENOLOGICAL STUDY ON THE EXPERIENCES OF CARERS OF THE MENTALLY ILL ON A MENTAL HEALTH FACILITY IN THE PHILIPPINES
Authors: Redubla, RPm Cristina Marie , Cuaton Ginbert Permejo
Published: August 2020

In the Philippines, mental illness remains a stigmatized, under-researched topic. Few studies on mental health are available, and at present, there is scant literature concerning the experiences of people living with and giving care to mentally ill peoples. This qualitative study aims to help families, mental health professionals, and the general community, gain an understanding of the experiences of caregivers and the challenges they face in sustaining their roles. Phenomenological method was employed for this research to explore the experiences of caregivers of the mentally ill patients in a Mental Health Facility in Leyte, Philippines. The primary data were collected through in-depth interviews with carers/caregivers/relatives of five (5) mentally ill persons. Library and internet desk research in its related literature were also employed. General findings of the study showed that caring for a mentally ill is burdensome. Data analysis revealed four superordinate themes under the experiences of caregivers, these consists of 1) caregiving difficulties, 2) various emotional reactions, 3) attitude towards the situation, and 4) positive caregiving experiences. Several support programs and services such as provision of mental health education and counseling regarding facts about the illness, its treatment and management, and leniency on watcher requirements during hospital admission are recommended to facilitate better caregiving experience of carers of the mentally ill.
NUMERICAL CALCULATIONS OF THE ELECTRON ENERGY DISTRIBUTION FUNCTION IN (50% SF6 - 50 % Xe) MIXTURE WITH CORRESPONDING TRANSPORT PARAMETERS
Authors: Mahmood Hady Firas
Published: August 2020

We used EEDF software package program to solve Boltzmann equation to calculate the electron energy distribution function in (50% SF6 – 50% Xe) mixture. The calculations are achieved under a steady state electric field using the classical two - term approximation. The electron energy distribution function (EEDF) and the corresponding transport coefficients (mean electron energy, characteristic energy, mobility of electron, diffusion coefficient, and drift velocity) for constant and various electron concentrations are calculated and graphically represented.  It is found that variations of electron concentration have a significant effect on transport coefficients of the mixture. The work is in a well agreement with previously experimental and computational researches.

Authors: Wondale Endshaw  , Berhanu Hiruy
Published: August 2020

Faba bean contributes to meet the basic dietary needs of millions of people and animals around the world, including Ethiopia, pertaining to its high protein, carbohydrate, dietary fibers and micronutrients. Nevertheless, insect pests have been reported to cause significant loss of it under traditional farmers’ storages. Accordingly, survey involving sampling of stored faba bean from a total of 162 farmers stores selected in nested design was conducted from 4, September 2019 – 15, May 2020 in six major faba bean producing peasant associations of Farta District. Accordingly, a total of 10 species of insect pests viz Acanthoscelides obtectus, Callosobruchus sp., Callosobruchus chinensis, Zabrotes subfasciatus, Callosobruchus muculutus, Bruchus sp. and Bruchidius sp. were recorded from stored faba bean of the study area. 90% of which was belonging to order Coleoptera with in two families i.e., Bruchidae and Nitidulidae, while one species (10%) was from order Psocoptera of the family Liposcelididae. In terms of their relative abundance the species were in the following order Acanthoscelides obtectus > Callosobruchus sp. > Callosobruchus chinensis > Zabrotes subfasciatus > Callosobruchus muculutus > Carpophilus sp. > C. dimidatus > Liposcelis sp. > Bruchus sp. > Bruchidius sp. Accordingly, the presence of great infestation of the faba bean grain by pests was suggested. As a result, the traditional practices used by farmers were ineffective for satisfactory protection of the stored faba bean grains. Therefore, designing effective management strategies against insect pests of stored faba bean in the study area is urgently needed.
Planning semi-automated precast production using GA
Authors: Chen Chen , Phang Thomas , Tiong Lee Kong
Published: August 2020

Although fully automated production systems have been developed and used in some industry leaders, most of the precast factories have yet to be developed to that stage. Semi-automated production lines are still popularly used. As production productivity can be maximally improved within the physical constraints by applying a sound production plan, this paper tends to propose a production planning method for the semi-automated precast production line using genetic algorithm (GA). The production planning problem is formulated into a flexible job shop scheduling problem (FJSSP) model and solved using an integrated approach. Thanks to the development of new technologies such as building information modeling (BIM) platform and radio frequency identification (RFID), implementation of a just-in-time (JIT) schedule in the semi-automated precast production line becomes practicable on the grounds of risk mitigation and enhanced demand forecast capability. In this regard, the optimization objectives are minimum makespan, station idle time, and earliness and tardiness penalty. An example was applied to validate the integrated GA approach. The experimental results show that the developed GA approach is a useful and effective method for solving the problem that it can return high-quality solutions. This paper thus contributes to the body of knowledge new precast production planning method for practical usage.
Feasibility and Implications of the Modular Construction Approach for Rapid Post-Disaster Recovery
Authors: Ghannad Pedram , Lee Yong-Cheol , Choi Jin Ouk
Published: August 2020

The adverse social and financial impacts of catastrophic disasters are increasing as population centers grow. In recent years, destroying homes and infrastructures has resulted in a major loss of life and created countless refugees. For example, Hurricane Katrina in August 2005 damaged over 214,700 homes in New Orleans and forced over 800,000 citizens to live outside of their homes due to flooding. After disastrous events, the government agencies have to respond to post-disaster housing issues quickly and efficiently and provide sufficient resources for temporary housing for short-term disaster relief and reconstruction of destroyed and damaged housing for full rehabilitation. Modular construction is a promising solution for improving the process of post-disaster housing reconstruction because of its inherent characteristic of time-efficiency. This study aimed to evaluate the potentials and feasibility of the prefabricated/modular construction approach that can be adapted to facilitate the post-disaster recovery process. An extensive literature review has been carried out to identify the features of modular construction, which can add value to the post-disaster recovery process. To investigate the suitability and practicability of implementing modular construction for post-disaster reconstruction and to identify major barriers of its implementation, a survey has been conducted among Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) experts who have experience in prefabrication/modularization, and/or involved in post-disaster reconstruction projects. The results of the study indicate that prefabricated/modular construction is a promising approach to improve time-efficiency of post-disaster reconstruction and tackle challenges of current practices by its unique benefits such as reduced demand for on-site labor (overcome local labor pool constraints impacted by the disaster) and resources (overcome the shortage of equipment and materials), shorter schedule (due to concurrent & non-seasonal), reduced site congestion, and improved labor productivity (due to assembly line-like and controlled environment).

Authors: Harjoseputro Yulius , Albertus Ari Kristanto  , Joseph Eric Samodra
Published: August 2020

A good application development requires a testing phase to ensure there are no errors before it’s released to public. But testing phase becomes difficult if the application development involves features from third parties. The idea to resolve the problem for Dhanapala application under the auspices of PT. Semangat Gotong Royong is to make the Sandbox system which is a system designed to resemble the characteristics of a third party. The Sandbox system will be developed into a REST API and written using the Golang programming language. In conducting communications with other systems New Simple Queue (NSQ) is also used that can support concurrency and prevent data transmission failures. As a result, the Sandbox system can receive requests and will process responses that are similar to functions from third parties. All forms of feature calls to third parties can be transferred to the Sandbox system so that all the data needs on some functions involving third parties can be fulfilled and the Dhanapala application can be run without its dependence on third parties

Published: August 2020

Forest and land fires in Indonesia take place almost every year, particularly in the dry season and in Sumatra and Kalimantan. Such fires damage the ecosystem, and lower the quality of life of the community, especially in health, social and economic terms. To establish the location of forest and land fires, it is necessary to identify and analyse burnt areas. Information on these is necessary to determine the environmental damage caused, the impact on the environment, the carbon emissions produced, and the rehabilitation process needed. Identification methods of burnt land was made both visually and digitally by utilising satellite remote sensing data technology. Such data were chosen because they can identify objects quickly and precisely. Landsat 8 image data have many advantages: they can be easily obtained, the archives are long and they are visible to thermal wavelengths. By using a combination of visible, infrared and thermal channels through the semi-automatic object-based image analysis (OBIA) approach, the study aims to identify burnt areas in the geographical area of Indonesia. The research concludes that the semi-automatic OBIA approach based on the red, infrared and thermal spectral bands is a reliable and fast method for identifying burnt areas in regions of Sumatra and Kalimantan.

Authors: Nurtyawan Rian , Fiscarina Nadia
Published: August 2020

Pleiades satellite imagery is very high resolution. with 0.5 m spatial resolution in the panchromatic band and 2.5 m in the multispectral band. Digital elevation models (DEM) are digital models that represent the shape of the Earth's surface in three-dimensional (3D) form. The purpose of this study was to assess DEM accuracy from panchromatic Pleaides imagery. The process conducted was orthorectification using ground control points (GCPs) and the rational function model with rational polynomial coefficient (RFC) parameters. The DEM extraction process employed photogrammetric methods with different parallax concepts. Accuracy assessment was made using 35 independent check points (ICPs) with an RMSE accuracy of ± 0.802 m. The results of the Pleaides DEM image extraction were more accurate than the National DEM (DEMNAS)  and  SRTM DEM. Accuracy testing of DEMNAS results showed an RMSE of ± 0.955 m. while SRTM DEM accuracy was ± 17.740 m. Such DEM extraction from stereo Pleiades panchromatic images can be used as an element on base maps with a scale of 1: 5.000.

Learning Design
Authors: Cobb Christy
Published: August 2020

In this learning design, the book of Ruth is read closely and critically in order to foster dialogue about political issues in the classroom. Using bell hooks’ model of engaged pedagogy, political issues such as feminism, immigration, gender, sex, and consent are carefully addressed through the pedagogical strategies described. Teachers may use all of the strategies in a full unit on Ruth, or they may choose one or two to implement in a single class. Cobb suggests the use of polling, creative expression through drawing, videos, small group discussions, and maps to incite thoughtful conversation about relevant political issues and the book of Ruth.

Building a New Testament Syllabus After the 2016 Elections
Authors: Drake Susanna
Published: August 2020

After the 2016 elections, students at Macalester College, a small private liberal arts college in Saint Paul, Minnesota, encouraged the faculty and staff to combat hate, sexism, racism, anti-Semitism, and white supremacy in and out of the classroom. These students inspired me to reconsider the way that I taught my introductory New Testament course. In this essay, I present the process by which I redesigned the course to explore not only the historical context of the New Testament texts but also our present political context and the ways it shapes biblical interpretation. The redesigned syllabus includes scholarship representative of the feminist, post-colonial, African American, Latinx, Asian-American, Jewish, queer, and other liberationist and identity-based approaches to the study of the New Testament.

The Past, Present, and Religious Studies Future of Civic Engagement in American Higher Education
Authors: Ronis Sara , Proctor Travis
Published: August 2020

We argue that Civic Engagement is fundamental to the stated work of the university, the humanities, and the project of religious studies. We trace the historical connections between Civic Engagement and higher education in the American context to the present, highlighting a consistency of focus on Civic Engagement across diverse university contexts even as educational priorities and instantiations shift. We then explore the particular role of Civic Engagement in Religious Studies pedagogy. We contend that being explicit about integrating Civic Engagement in the religion classroom enhances our students’ ability to understand complex concepts in late antique religion and underscores for them how relevant the study of late ancient religion is to students’ lives today. We offer three ways that instructors in Religious Studies can incorporate Civic Engagement into their classes: cultivating naming practices, focusing pedagogical exercises on honing students’ Civic Engagement skills, and, where practicable, engaging in community-based learning.

Published: August 2020

The introductory essay serves to situate this special issue in its original context: a workshop on "Politics, Pedagogy, and the Profession," hosted in November 2017 at Harvard Divinity School's Center for the Study of World Religions for graduate students and teachers of pre-modernity. The workshop marked the beginning of a collaborative project, whose products thus far include, inter alia, a shared database of pedagogical resources, conference sessions to extend discussions of teaching politically-charged subjects to a wider audience, and the contributions to the issue at hand. The introductory essay provides readers with background information concerning the project's aims and initial findings, including a discussion of instructors' motivations for addressing contemporary political considerations; the risks and rewards teaching politically-charged topics; and the institutional and disciplinary resources available to instructors. The essay also provides an introductory preview of the articles gathered in this special issue.

Menelusuri sejarah perjalanan bangsa Israel merupakan hasil penelitian untuk mendapatkan sejumlah informasi tentang awal panggilan bangsa ini dalam Perjanjian Lama dan pelaku sejarah dari berbagai para patriakh. Sejarah perjalanan bangsa Israel memiliki arti penting oleh karena keterbatasan dokumen tertulis. Ada banyak informasi tentang masa lalu masih tercecer atau lolos dari pencatatan, sementara itu usia hidup dari para narasumber terbatas. Bagaimanapun juga sejarah bangsa Israel akan memperkaya literatur-literatur yang ada sebelumnya sebagai sebuah rangkuman yang penting dalam kaitannya sebagai bangsa pilihan Allah dengan kehidupan keagamaan yang merupakan kontinuitas kehidupan keagamaan gereja saat ini. Metode penelitian dalam paper ini menggunakan studi pustaka terkait literature-literatur sumber sejarah. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk memperkaya penulisan sejarah secara substantive yang dapat dipergunakan sebagai sumber bagi siapapun yang hendak melakukan penelitian sejarah, dan pada umumnya untuk pengembangan ilmu pengetahuan. Sejarah lisan yang ditangani dengan baik akan memberikan informasi yang tidak terbatas dalam jumlah/halaman, bahkan sering memunculkan informasi yang belum termuat secara tertulis. Hal inilah yang menjadi kepedulian dan juga merupakan langkah awal bagi Departemen Teologi STT Real Batam untuk melakukan penulisan dan pengumpulan memori kolektif sebagai upaya menyelamatkan sumber sejarah tersebut. Hilangnya sumber sejarah lisan dalam satu generasi merupakan kerugian yang besar dalam penulisan sejarah.
Demonstration of time dilation using the centripetal acceleration of a clock
Authors: Conte Andrea
Published: August 2020

A mathematical demonstration is made to derive the inverse form of the Lorentz factor using as a tool the centripetal acceleration of a clock hand. When a resistance is applied against the motion of a clock hand, the centripetal acceleration decreases. The ratio between the final centripetal acceleration of the clock hand and its initial centripetal acceleration gives a ratio between two squared velocities. By squaring root this ratio, we obtain the equivalent form of the inverted Lorentz factor.

A descriptive analysis of the data availability statements accompanying medRxiv preprints and a comparison with their published counterparts
Authors: McGuinness Luke A , Sheppard Athena Louise
Published: August 2020

ObjectiveTo determine whether medRxiv data availability statements describe open or closed data - that is, whether the data used in the study is openly available without restriction - and to examine if this changes on publication based on journal data sharing policy. Additionally, to examine whether data availability statements are sufficient to capture code availability declarations.DesignObservational study, following a pre-registered protocol, of preprints posted on the medRxiv repository between 25th June 2019 and 1st May 2020 and their published counterparts.Main outcome measuresDistribution of preprinted data availability statements across eight categories, determined by a prespecified classification system.Change in the percentage of data availability statements describing open data between the preprinted and published versions of the same record, stratified by journal sharing policy.Number of code availability declarations reported in the full-text preprint which were not captured in the corresponding data availability statement.Results4101 medRxiv preprints were included in our sample, of which 911 (22.2%) were categorized as describing open data, 3027 (73.8%) as describing closed data, 163 (4.0%) as not applicable (e.g. editorial, protocol). 379 (9.2%) preprints were subsequently published, and of these published articles, only 159 (42.0%) contained a data availability statement. Similar to the preprint stage, most published data availability statements described closed data (59 (37.1%) open, 96 (60.4%) closed, 4 (2.5%) not applicable).Of the 151 records eligible for the comparison between preprinted and published stages, 57 (37.7%) were published in journals which mandated open data sharing. Data availability statements more frequently described open data on publication when the journal mandated data sharing (open at preprint: 33.3%, open at publication: 61.4%) compared to when the journal did not mandate data sharing (open at preprint: 20.2%, open at publication: 22.3%).ConclusionRequiring that authors submit a data availability statement is a good first step, but is insufficient to ensure data availability. Strict editorial policies that require data sharing (where appropriate) as a condition of publication appear to be effective in making research data available. We would strongly encourage all journal editors to examine whether their data availability policies are sufficiently stringent and consistently enforced.
Political coherence and certainty as drivers of interpersonal liking, over and above similarity

Affective polarization and political segregation have become a serious threat to democratic societies. One standard explanation for these phenomena is that people like and prefer interacting with similar others. However, similarity may not be the only driver of interpersonal liking in the political domain and other factors, yet to be uncovered, could play an important role. Here, we hypothesized that beyond the effect of similarity, people show greater preference for individuals with politically coherent and confident opinions. To test this idea, we performed two unprecedentedly large-scale behavioral studies consisting in one-shot face-to-face pairwise interactions. We found that that people with uncertain or ambivalent views were non-reciprocally attracted to confident and coherent individuals. A multivariate analysis showed that these two effects were equal or larger than the influence of political similarity. Overall, these findings shed light on the key drivers of the affability or hostility between people who discuss about politics.
Perceived Femininity and Masculinity Contribute Independently to Facial Impressions
Authors: Hester Neil , Jones Benedict C , Hehman Eric
Published: August 2020

In person perception research, femininity and masculinity are regularly conceived as two ends of one bipolar dimension. This unidimensional understanding permeates work on facial impressions, gender diagnosticity, and perceptions of LGBTQ individuals—but, it is perhaps most prominent in evolutionary work suggesting that sexually dimorphic facial features (which vary along a female–male continuum) correspond directly with subjective ratings of femininity and masculinity, which in turn predict ratings of traits such as attractiveness. In this paper, we analyze two large face databases (the Chicago and Bogazici Face Databases) to demonstrate that femininity and masculinity are distinct dimensions in person perception. We also evaluate key theoretical assumptions surrounding femininity and masculinity in evolutionary theories of face perception. We find that sexually dimorphic features weakly correlate with each other and typically explain just 10-20% of variance in subjective ratings of femininity and masculinity. Femininity and masculinity each explain unique variance in trait ratings of attractiveness, dominance, trustworthiness, and threat. Femininity and masculinity also interact to explain unique variance in these traits, revealing facial androgyny as a novel phenomenon. We propose a new theoretical model explaining the link between biology, facial features, perceived femininity and masculinity, and trait ratings. Our findings broadly suggest that concepts that are “opposites” semantically cannot necessarily be assumed to be psychological opposites.
The Relationship of Psychotherapist Demographic Variables to Discipline Board Misconduct Content
Authors: Strom Eric , Dykeman Cass
Published: August 2020

This study was designed as an investigation of psychotherapist variables that correlate with the contents of findings of misconduct. While there is a scarcity of current research regarding clinician characteristics that correlate with professional misconduct, many assumptions and untested hypotheses appear. In particular, gender is often identified as a critical component of professional misconduct. Despite these common assertions, virtually no published research exists regarding correlations between gender and marriage and family therapist (MFT) professional misconduct. This study employed a retrospective cross-sectional study to analyze a randomized convenience sample of the records of final determinations of psychotherapist disciplinary actions across eight states. Four predictor variables (gender, years of experience, geographical region, and type of license) were correlated with five criterion variables consisting of word counts for five linguistic categories (family, substance, finance, sex, friend, and recordkeeping words). Frequency rates of the criterion variables were calculated. Relationships between all variables were evaluated through a multiple linear regression analysis. The data show a wide variation of prevalence rates across the predictor variables. Five of the multiple regression analyses produced statistically significant results. Gender was related to both family and substance use related words, while years of practice was related to family, finance, sex, friend, and recordkeeping words. No relationship was found between recordkeeping words and any of the predictor variables. Similarly, no relationship was found between any of the criterion variables and geographic region or license type.
