Authors: Irianto Dede Margo , Yunansah Hana , Herlambang Yusuf Tri , Mulyati Tita
Published: June 2020

Masalah dalam penelitian ini didasarkan pada temuan adanya realitas kondisi kehidupan manusia yang telah terjebak dalam paradigma pembangunan yang keliru (maldevelopment), sehingga memandang alam sebagai objek, mekanistis, terpecah-pecah, dan terpisah dari manusia sehingga mudah didominasi dan dieksploitasi. Atas dasar pemikiran tersebut, diperlukan solusi nyata sebagai upaya membangun sikap kritis dan kepedulian dalam memahami berbagai fenomena kehidupan yang merugikan lingkungan hidup. Oleh sebab itu, pendidikan ekologis sangat dibutuhkan demi mengasah sensibilitas ekologis serta menumbuhkan kesadaran akan keberadaan lingkungan hidup sebagai bagian dari ekosistem yang berpengaruh terhadap kehidupan manusia. Upaya untuk mewujudkan kondisi tersebut diawali dari merekayasa model pendidikan yang tepat, salah satunya adalah model multiliterasi berbasis ecopedagogy approach.

Arte como Simulacro de una Realidad Lejana en la Obra de Gerhard Richter
Authors: París Romia Gemma
Published: June 2020

This paper investigates the links that the artist Gerhard Richter establishes between photography and painting throughout his artistic career, initiated on 60ths. Since then, Richter's goal has been to build images, whether pictorial or photographic, whether blurry or sharp, geometric, abstract or figurative. The world that Richter paints is made up of banal situations, by anonymous people, by familiar landscapes, and that makes us feel comfortable as spectators, because it seems that Richter is creating a file of known places, moments with which we can connect from our subjectivity. Most part of the images are blurry, so Richter is not painting photographs, but that he is building images, from photography and through painting. The richness of his artistic process is his position between photography and painting, between figuration and abstraction, between the subjective and the collective. Richter creates an extensive and varied register of different types of images, which are part of our everyday universe. Richter build those images on painting them or on collecting them, creating a simulated reality, a vast and aesthetic archive where we can find ourselves reflected, interrogated, seduced. The archive of images by Gerhard Richter invites us, in fact, to ask ourselves about our relationship with the world and with its representations.
Parámetros y Magnitudes del Tiempo en la Obra One million years de On Kawara
Authors: Molina Franjola Sandra Elisa
Published: June 2020

On Kawara´s One million years exhibits enormous temporal magnitudes enumerations, with that, problematizes diverse ways of relation with time as representation and as experience possibility. However, time is apprehended in a sensitive way, therefore time is alienated from the means that try to contain it. But then, how can enumeration show temporary magnitudes in the piece? How can we record time? and how can art articulate time as a productive poetic? From this problem is proposed the following: time in One million years is addressed in three ways; enumeration, imagination and experience. These three modes of time problematize and exhibit the constant abandonment of time in the work of art. This study thinks over these time modes showed in Kawara´s work, contrasting them with artistic proposals that address similar temporalities, reflecting upon the paradoxes and contradictions that the pieces try to display.
Entre Sonido y Sentido. Acusmática y Blackboxing.
Authors: Iraguen Zabala Oihane
Published: June 2020

This personal research understands the concept of acousmatic as a contemporary praxis in sound art. This ancient Pythagorean practice, -utilized to a strange sound, - shares the essence of nowadays virtuality. As devices’ screens for example share features and processes with the old Pythagorean curtain. Although acousmatic practice avoids any visual representation, and hides the internal functioning of communication, behaving like a black box. External stimuli directly affect it, triggering sound-image feelings and emotions that are (un)known to us. Rather than investigating the response triggered by these inputs, the research aims to analyse the internal resonances of these black boxes. The more complex machines become, the simpler our relations to them are. The devices and formats used in sound-intermedia practice act as “black boxes”, but this apparent “blackboxing” caused by the use of the technological in the codes of the sensible performs as a catalyst for the apprehension of sound and its esthesic exploration.

This study was carried out with the intention of examining the role of the marketing mix on brand loyalty advertising and pricing play in building brand equity. The study focuses on a new cable brand (Belayab Cable) and attempts to find out the role of marketing mix elements on brand loyalty of Belayab Cable products. For this study, an accessible population of 62 Belayab Cable consumers who have used its products at least twice was selected randomly from stratified groups of three types of customers (Contractors, Traders, Electo Mechanical Engineers, and   Government,).  A structured questionnaire was used to collect data from respondents by using a self-administered data collection system. In addition to the questionnaire, semi-structured interview questions are prepared to get information from the organization which is analyzed qualitatively. The STATA is used to process the primary data which were collected through questionnaires.  The findings showed that the role of product quality, price, and availability has a positive and significant role in brand loyalty. On the other hand, the price has no significant role in brand loyalty for the cable of a brand. Therefore, in order to maximize the effectiveness of marketing activities and have more loyal customers in cable industry companies should pay more attention to product quality, availability, and promotions.

A retrospective study on analyzing the role of oocyte maturation arrest as a causative factor for infertility in unexplained infertility
Authors: S. Mahalakshmi , Lokeshwari J. , Sharma Nidhi
Published: June 2020

Background: Birth is often referred to as “the miracle of life” and very rightly so since successful pregnancy represents a complex, a highly coordinated succession of biological processes. In this regard, it is remarkable that pregnancy ever occurs at all. Infertility is a reproductive system disorder affecting 10.7% to 15.5% of couples. Highly heterogeneous in etiology. Investigating the cause is necessary for guiding treatment options. Aim of the study was to determine the percentage of immature oocytes retrieved at the metaphase 1 stage and germinal vesicle stage and its outcome.Methods: Total 30 cases were included for this retrospective analysis of data done at ARC fertility center, Saveetha Medical College. This study analyzed the data of patients with unexplained infertility who underwent ICSI centers (affiliated to Saveetha University) meeting inclusion criteria and willing to participate in the study.Results: The mean number of fertilized oocytes among those with more than 25% immature oocyte proportion was 1.18 while among those with less than 25% immature oocyte proportion was 4.13. The chance of fertilization of the oocyte increases when the percentage of immature oocyte was less than or equal to 25%. The association was found to be statistically significant with p-value <0.05.Conclusions: Thus, some intrinsic oocyte factor could be involved in causing maturation arrest in such couples and resulting in multiple failed IVF cycles.so this oocyte factor could be a major cause in many cases of unexplained infertility.

Published: June 2020

Background: This study aimed to determine the outcome of surgical treatments in patients with degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM). During one-year follow-up period, we evaluated patient-reported functional and quality of life (QOL) measures.
 
Methods: In a retrospective single-center study, we collected data of patients with DCM who underwent cervical fusion surgeries in Imam Khomeini Hospital, Tehran, Iran, from 2011 to 2015. Patients underwent single or multi-level anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF), anterior cervical corpectomy and fusion (ACCF), or posterior laminectomy and fusion. We utilized patient-reported assessments including Short Form 36 (SF-36), Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Neck Disability Index (NDI), and Nurick grade. Follow-up was performed at 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months post-operatively to assess the outcome of surgery.
 
Results: Ninety patients (56 men, 34 women) with a mean age of 54.1 (27-87) years were included. Comparison of pre- and post-operative scores showed significant improvement in SF-36 parameters, VAS, NDI, and Nurick grade (P < 0.001). Also, women’s VAS scores improved more than men's VAS scores during the follow-up period (P < 0.050). Age and type of surgery did not significantly affect the SF-36 parameters, VAS, NDI, and Nurick grade (P > 0.05).
 
Conclusions: Cervical surgeries in patients with different severity of DCM can improve different aspects of QOL during one-year after surgery

A Data Mining Approach for Parameter Optimization in Weather Prediction
Authors: N Thushika , S Premaratne
Published: June 2020

More than two decades, there is a number of weather-related websites are available which approximately predict the weather and climate. By extracting essential data from the websites, a predictive data pattern can be produced to show the next day’s weather is with rain or not.  By applying different types of web mining and analyzing techniques those extracted weather-related data can be visualized to a typical pattern for weather forecasting with the main deciding factors of weather. With the use of these approaches, reasonably precise forecasts can be made up to about four to five days in advance. For the weather prediction analysis, we need to discover deciding factors of the next day’s weather. Particularly, common weather dependent factors and the relationship of the prediction to the particular phenomenon. The solution proposed by this research can be used to analyze a large amount of weather data which are in different forms in each source. By using predictive mining task our solution allows us to make predictions for future instances according to the model what we have created. Evaluation measurements for the selected data mining technique such as accuracy percentage, TP & FP Rate, Precision, F-Measure, ROC area, SSE, and loglikelihood for classification and clustering leads to create a high-quality model of prediction. Knowledge flow interface provides the data flow to show the processing and analyzing data with precise association rules. In order to evaluate the model, SSE values and time to build the model, are considered in an effective manner.

The donor potential of twenty six donor bases in the Russian Federation: external audit (a pilot project)
Authors: Vinogradov V. L. , Gubarev K. K. , Zakhlevnyy A. I. , Svetlakova D. S.
Published: June 2020

Rationale: The imbalance between the need for donor organs and their current availability is a growing problem for all countries. An assessment of potential donor numbers is considered to be an important step towards better understanding of the problem as a whole at the national scale. This would help to build up a concept of a successful strategy to resolve this inequity.

Aim: To analyze the use of external audit of the efficacy of identification of potential organ donors with confirmed brain death.

Materials and methods: As a part of a pilot project aimed to increase the efficacy of donor bases of the Russian Federal Medical Biological Agency (FMBA), we retrospectively analyzed 5932 medical files of patients who died from 2014 to 2018 in the departments of resuscitation and intensive care units of 26 medical establishments serving as a donor bases in Moscow, Orenburg, Saratov, Abakan, Stavropol and FMBA of Russia. The probability of brain death was assessed with a special QAPDD (Quality Assurance Program in the Deceased Donation Process) technique focused on organ donation after brain death which is used for external audit in Spanish hospitals.

Results: Clinical manifestation of brain death were identified in 20.3% (95% confidence interval (CI) 18.4–22.4) of the patients aged 18 to 65 years with severe primary and secondary brain injury who died in the departments of resuscitation and had been maintained on mechanical ventilation at least 12 hours until their death was confirmed. The rate of potential donor identification with clinical manifestations of brain death in the donating in-patient departments was 12% (95% CI 10.5–13.7) of those who died with severe primary and secondary brain injury. The external audit performed in 26 donating in-patient departments, has shown that 41% (95% CI 35.8–46.4) of potential donors with brain death were not identified.

Conclusion: With the use of the QAPDD technique in our study, we found that 41% of potential donors were not identified in the Russian in-patient clinics participating in organ donation. Based on the information obtained during the audit of medical files in intensive care units, we can make realistic conclusions on the current system of organ donation, identify potential pitfalls in the identification procedures of potential donors, increase the efficacy of donation process, and to improve the system as a whole. The process could become effective only through the activities of specially trained donor hospital transplant coordinators.
Does soft skill development vary among the students? A gender perspective
Authors: SİDDİKY Md. Roknuzzaman
Published: June 2020

The study was intended to examine the extent to which soft skill development varied among the university students by gender via their participation in co-curricular activities (CCAs). Moreover, the study aimed to find out whether there was a significant difference between male and female students concerning soft skill development. The study has shown that males have developed diverse personal skills and social skills, that is, soft skills more than females excepting one which is presentation skill. The study has pointed out that soft skill development significantly varies among the students by gender excepting presentation skill development. The study has proposed that the significant difference between male and female students regarding soft skill development may be attributed to their difference in participating in various CCAs. Since the males are more likely to participate in CCAs, they are more likely to develop diverse soft skills than the females. The study has indicated that Muslim female students face several personal and social barriers including lack of confidence, conservative family values, and people’s negative attitudes to participate in CCAs, which requires proper policy to address.

This study examines transformative leadership and organizational culture implemented in tertiary institutions. Transformational leaders have an impact on the effectiveness of organizational culture. This paper is based on the study of leadership theory, references about the culture of knowledge organizations, which integrate concepts and facts in the field. Of course the transformation process has an impact on organizational culture including students. Not only does it change the work rhythm that is demanded to be bigger, but more students being taken care of are also more complicated. This reality ultimately also has an impact on habits including good employee performance due to the reduced number of present workforce recruited.

The purpose of this study is to examine and discuss the characteristics of transformational leadership and organizational culture at Islamic Institute of Religion Jember. This type of research is field research. The research method used is a qualitative research method. While the data collection methods used are interviews, observation and documentation. The validity test of the data used is triangulation, confirmation of reliability, transferability and dependability. While the analysis of the data used is an interactive analysis of Miles Huberman. The results of the conclusions in this study indicate that Transformational Leadership is built by three factors, namely Inspirational in shaping vision and ideas, visionary in articulating vision & mission and intellectual support to achieve targets and goals. Transformational leadership provides a change in work support and team performance. Strong leadership in providing work motivation, stimulating concepts or ideas to group or individual employees can produce harmony in achieving a shared vision, team commitment, work culture and minimal conflict. Transformative leadership needs to improve communication in building a positive organizational culture because communication of leadership and work increases the culture of teamwork, cohesion and conflict.

Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) are a group of socially significant diseases of childhood because of the high prevalence of a chronic nature, as well as a large percentage of early disability. JIA is a collection of diseases that have different start, course and outcome, as well as various etiologies, which emphasizes the difficulties in the diagnosis process in children. When this disease is progressive in nature, leads to loss of function of the musculoskeletal system, severe disability at an early age and, therefore, needs early diagnosis and adequate therapy appointment.Significant role in identifying pathology osteoarticular system belongs radiological methods and routine radiography remains the most widely used technique included in the classification criteria of the majority of rheumatic diseases. However, it is well known that secondary structural changes in the bones precedes roentgen period, and therefore the X-rays can not be regarded as a method of early diagnosis with articular syndrome. Widely introduced in recent years, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has more say in the assessment of capabilities of the joints, as in addition to assessment of bone allows quantitatively and qualitatively assess changes in the synovial membrane, articular cartilage, the presence and severity of inflammatory changes in the periarticular soft tissue and bone tissue. The data obtained using MRI may be used for diagnosis, prognosis, and monitoring response to treatment, including early stage disease.Nevertheless, despite the obvious opportunities MRI, this technique is not widely used, including the lack of clear diagnostic criteria for the disease, the lack of centralized research validated, standardized protocols for conducting MRI studies of children with articular syndrome. Thus, research is warranted to address a number of clinical and diagnostic aspects in JIA, in particular the development of the scoring system assessing the severity and progression of the disease.
Hybrid particle swarm optimization with spiral-shaped mechanism for solving high-dimension problems
Authors: Mendonça Duarte Humberto Martins , Lima de Carvalho Rafael
Published: June 2020

Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is a well-known metaheuristic, whose performance for solving global optimization problems has been thoroughly explored. It has been established that without proper manipulation of the inertia weight parameter, the search for a global optima may fail. In order to handle this problem, we investigate the experimental performance of a PSO-based metaheuristic known as HPSO-SSM, which uses a logistic map sequence to control the inertia weight to enhance the diversity in the search process, and a spiral-shaped mechanism as a local search operator, as well as two dynamic correction factors to the position formula. Thus, we present an application of this variant for solving high-dimensional optimization problems, and evaluate its effectiveness against 24 benchmark functions. A comparison between both methods showed that the proposed variant can escape from local optima, and demonstrates faster convergence for almost every evaluated function.
Steganography Genetic Algorithm Hyperparameter Tuning through Response Surface Methodology

Published: June 2020

Steganography consists of hidding bits of an information source into a host source. In image processing, a common way of doing the hiding process is to break each byte from the message information and embbed into the message bytes in a way that the differences among the original host and the embedded one is minimized. A genetic algorithm can be used to find the proper combination of bits in order to minimize such differences, but some hyperparameters need to be optimized in order to get an optimized performance. This work investigates the application of Response Surface Methodology in order to find the best hyperparameters of a genetic algorithm applied to image steganography.
