An Investigation of the Modulatory Effects of Empathic and Autistic Traits on Emotional and Facial Motor Responses during Live Social Interactions
Authors: Hsu Chun-Ting , Sato Wataru , Yoshikawa Sakiko
Published: August 2022

A close relationship between emotional contagion and spontaneous facial mimicry has been theoretically proposed and is supported by empirical data. Facial expressions are essential in terms of both emotional and motor synchrony. Previous studies have demonstrated that trait emotional empathy enhanced spontaneous facial mimicry, but the relationship between autistic traits and spontaneous mimicry remained controversial. Moreover, previous studies presented faces that were static or videotaped, which may lack the “liveliness” of real-life social interactions. We addressed this limitation by using an image relay system to present live performances and pre-recorded videos of smiling or frowning dynamic facial expressions to 94 healthy female participants. We assessed their subjective experiential valence and arousal ratings to infer the amplitude of emotional contagion. We measured the electromyographic activities of the zygomaticus major and corrugator supercilii muscles to estimate spontaneous facial mimicry. Individual differences measures included trait emotional empathy (empathic concern) and the autism-spectrum quotient. We did not find that live performances enhanced the modulatory effect of trait differences on emotional contagion or spontaneous facial mimicry. However, we found that a high trait empathic concern was associated with stronger emotional contagion and corrugator mimicry. We found no two-way interaction between the autism spectrum quotient and emotional condition, suggesting that autistic traits did not modulate emotional contagion or spontaneous facial mimicry. Our findings imply that previous findings regarding the relationship between emotional empathy and emotional contagion/spontaneous facial mimicry using videos and photos could be generalized to real-life interactions.
Autistic symptoms, irritability, and executive dysfunctions: Symptom dynamics from multi-network models
Authors: Lee Ka Shu , Gau Susan Shur-Fen , Tseng Wan-Ling
Published: August 2022

Heterogeneous social cognitive difficulties in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are linked to co-occurring irritability symptoms, such as angry/grouchy mood and temper outbursts. However, studies examining these symptom-level dynamics are rare, and the cognitive-behavioral mechanisms are under-researched. This study investigated the dynamics between autistic (Social Responsiveness Scale) and irritabilty symptoms (Affective Reactivity Index), and executive functions (Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery) in a cross-sectional cohort of children and adolescents with ASD, their unaffected siblings, and neurotypical peers (N = 345, aged 6–18 years, 78.6% male). Three complementary networks were computed: (1) Gaussian graphical network estimating the conditional correlations between symptom nodes; (2) Relative importance network computing relative influence between nodes; (3) Bayesian directed acyclic graph estimating predictive directionality between symptoms. Networks revealed numerous partial correlations within autistic (rs = .07 – .56) and irritability symptoms (rs = .01 – .45) and executive functions (rs = -.83 – .67) but weak connections between clusters. This segregated pattern converged in the directed networks and highlighted influential paths from social communication difficulties to autism mannerisms and from "angry frequently" to "lose temper easily." Findings underscore the need for researching mood and cognitive-behavioral symptoms that bridge between autistic and irritability symptoms.
Operational Efficiency and Productivity Change in Cross-country Commercial Banking Industries: Evidence From South Asia
Authors: Tamang Govinda , Shah Wasi Ul Hassan , Zhu Nan
Published: August 2022

South Asia (SA) predominantly consists of developing economies with massive growth potential in their banking industries. To this end, this paper examines the efficiency and productivity change in 136 commercial banks (CBS) of 6 countries: Afganistan, Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka in South-Asia from 2013 to 2019. Data envelopment analysis (DEA) method is employed to identify the efficiency frontier for South Asian CBS (SA-CBS). DEA-based Malmquist productivity index (MPI) is used to determine whether a change in total factor productivity of SA-CBS is due to technical efficiency change or technology change. Findings indicate that the average technical efficiency of SA-CBS is 62.45 percent, which reveals that 37.55 percent of inefficiency exists under the study period. In addition, results show that technical inefficiency in SA-CBS is attributed to pure technical inefficiency rather than scale inefficiency. Results further indicate a marginal decline in productivity over the study period, where the average total factor productivity score is 0.998. This deterioration is mainly attributed to technical efficiency decline since the average technological change increased, thus causing a negative impact on the total factor productivity.

Severity and frequency of father beating contribute more to anxiety and depression. Local government must conduct domestic violence education for mothers and fathers of the study area.
Indic Elements in Indonesian Arts and Literature: Shared Heritage Between India and Indonesia
Authors: Jha Gautam Kumar
Published: August 2022

Indic-Belt or the Greater India is the geographical region where Bharat’s knowledge tradition spread and influenced the local community in terms of language, culture, religions, practices and social values. Southeast Asia, especially Indonesia has been the region that received more Indic knowledge than any other parts of the world due to the easy accessibility to the land and sea routes. This Indic influence is visible in many art forms and folklore due to a long period of rules of Hindu-Buddhist kingdoms. This study aims at exploring the presence of Indic elements in Indonesian artworks, old buildings and folklore. This paper is based on a qualitative descriptive study in which the data was collected through literature study. The study found that Indian epics such as Ramayana and Mahabharata have greatly influenced the literary tradition in Indonesia, as it was present in the forms of puppets, woodcrafts, painting and batik. In addition, Indonesian-present vocabulary ‘Esa’ (singular) to describe the concept of oneness of God came from the Sanskrit word ‘ish’ which was carried out by the Indic permeate to Indonesia. The study suggests that with such influence of Indic culture and tradition to Indonesia, both Indonesia and India shared similar heritage and hence steps to strengthen the cultural bonds between the two nations need to be built and maintained.

Published: August 2022

The aim of this study is to examine the practice of Petang Megang tradition on indigenous Muslim Malay people in Pekanbaru Riau in welcoming the holy month of Ramadhan, and to investigate the influence of Hinduism on this annual tradition. Petang Megang ritual does not only function as a passed-on tradition, but also reflects the acculturation of Hindu and Islam, social interaction, and community culture. This research is a descriptive study, in which data obtained are presented, analyzed, and explained. This study found that Petang Megang tradition reflects a strong relationship between the two beliefs, Hindu and Islam. The relationship can be seen in the similar concepts of purification in Petang Megang which is similar to tirtayatra in Hindu and wudhu (ablution) in Islam. Despite bringing similarity to Hindu tradition, Petang Megang serves as a medium of Islamic dawah (propagation) where it introduces a cultural practice in its relation to religious event (Ramadan). This study suggests that Petang Megang is a symbol of longstanding harmonious co-existence between Hindu and Islam in the region.

Published: August 2022

This study employed multiple discriminant analysis to examine whether significant differences exist among the different group of tea smallholders in terms of their demographic and farming characteristics and to identify the significant factors influencing in the selection of different tea plant cultivars in Badulla district. The data were collected during the period November to December in 2019 and a sample of 108 tea smallholders has been randomly selected from three major tea producing regions namely  Badulla, Haliela and Bandarawela divisions of the Uva region in the district. Frequency analysis reveals that, 43.5% of the tea smallholders chose VP 20/25 while 29.6% and 26.9% of them chose VP 20/23 and CY 9 cultivars respectively. Multiple discriminant analysis showed that, output from each tea plant cultivars and prices of each tea cultivar were the major discriminating variables as well as important influencing factors in selecting tea plant cultivars. Results of Fisher's linear discriminant functions revealed that as output increases, tea small holders are more likely to choose the cultivars VP20/25 and VP20/23 while less likely to select the CY9 cultivar. Similarly, as the price of the tea cultivar increases, they are more likely to adopt the CY9 cultivar than  other two in the study. The classification results revealed that 56% of the respondents were correctly classified into three different groups of tea smallholders and the estimated discriminant functions for CY9 (96.6%) and VP 20/23(62.5%) were classified with better accuracy than another group in the study. The findings of the study may assist the tea smallholders in understanding the critical factors in the selection of tea plant cultivars and guide the policymakers to take effective measures in the tea sector in the future.

Kajian Elemen Pembentuk Ruang Pada Rumah Adat dan Kebudayaan “Bumi Ageung Cikidang” Di Cianjur
Authors: Lie Titieandy
Published: August 2022

Bumi Ageung Cikidang merupakan salah satu peninggalan dari Bupati Cianjur ke-10, yaitu Raden Adipati Aria Prawiradireja II. Rumah ini telah ditetapkan sebagai Benda Cagar Budaya Nasional berdasarkan Surat Keputusan Menteri Kebudayaan dan Pariwisata pada tahun 2010. Kini, rumah ini telah diwariskan kepada generasi ke-5 dari Raden Adipati Aria Prawiradireja II dan beralihfungsi menjadi rumah museum di Cianjur. Walaupun pernah direnovasi rumah ini masih mempertahankan bentuk aslinya, nilai-nilai kebudayaan serta sejarah perjuangan orang Cianjur tercermin pada bentuk dan arsitektur rumah tradisional ini. Namun potensi elemen-elemen arsitektur yang tersimpan pada rumah ini masih belum ditelusuri lebih jauh, padahal bangunan ini memiliki nilai-nilai sejarah dan kebudayaan yang dapat menjadi referensi pembelajaran bagi generasi selanjutnya.Permasalahan yang terjadi pada Bumi Ageung Cikidang ini, salah satunya adalah bergantinya fungsi dari rumah itu sendiri. Awalnya rumah ini memiliki fungsi rumah tinggal dan sekarang dijadikan sebagai museum, yang seiring dengan berjalannya waktu akan memungkinkan terjadinya perubahan tatanan ruang dalam rumah itu sendiri yang akan mengurangi nilai kebudayaan dan sejarah yang ada di dalam rumah ini. Permasalahan lainnya yang sangat memungkinkan untuk terjadi adalah pergantian material pada rumah ini karena secara struktur rumah ini masih memiliki struktur asli dan telah mengalami satu kali renovasi pada beberapa bagian seperti penutup atap, selubung bangunan, serta beberapa ornamen khas yang ada pada rumah ini.Berdasarkan permasalahan tersebut, penelitian ini dilakukan dengan langkah-langkah meliputi: (1) menguraikan kesejarahan bangunan cagar budaya rumah Bumi Ageung Cikidang. (2) mengidentifikasi elemen-elemen arsitektur pembentuk ruang bangunan cagar budaya rumah Bumi Ageung Cikidang. (3) melakukan rekonstruksi digital terhadap bangunan cagar budaya rumah Bumi Ageung Cikidang sebagai upaya pelestarian. Hasil penelitian ini diharapkan dapat bermanfaat bagi peningkatan nilai sejarah dan budaya bangunan serta kawasan, menginspirasi masyarakat untuk mengekspresikan upaya pelestarian melalui elemen arsitektural yang diterapkan pada bangunan atau kawasan sekitar mereka.

Published: August 2022

Mayoritas UAV digerakkan oleh motor listrik dan berpendorong propeller. Pada prakteknya, propeller merupakan penghasil kebisingan, ini merupakan suatu problematika dari suatu pesawat tanpa awak berpenggerak propeller. Kebisingan yang dihasilkan propeller disebabkan oleh udara yang melewati propeller hal ini menyebabkan gesekan dan turbulensi sehingga menimbulkan kebisingan. Untuk mengurangi turbulensi yang dihasilkan oleh propeller maka dibuat suatu modifikasi dengan cara menambahkan Tip devices pada propeller tip yang biasa disebut proplets yang bisa disamakan dengan winglets pada sayap pesawat. Penempatan winglet pada propeller dapat ditempatkan pada sumbu +z (menghadap bagian atas) atau pada sumbu -z (menghadap bagian bawah). Pada penelitan ini menggukana desain penelitian eksperimen dengan menguji bentuk dasar propeller (base propeller) dengan proplet propeller (propeller dengan winglet). Pengukuran gaya dorong dan kebisingan dilakukan dengan kecepatan putar sebesar 3000 RPM, 4000 RPM dan 5000 RPM dengan konsep pengujian 1 dengan alat bangku uji propeller. Hasil pengujian menunjukkan bahwa backward winglet propeller menghasilkan gaya dorong yang lebih tinggi daripada base propeller namun, hasil sebaliknya ditunjukkan oleh upward winglet propeller yang menghasilkan gaya dorong yang lebih rendah. Pada pengujian kebisingan diperoleh hasil bahwa upward winglet propeller lebih bising daripada base propeller dan backward winget propeller menghasilkan tingkat kebisingan yang cenderung konstan.

Nartshuk: Rhopalopterum atricorne (Zetterstedt, 1838) = Rh. platythorax (Nartshuk, 1958), Pseudopachychaeta oscinina (Fallén, 1823) = P. heleocharis (Nartshuk, 1964), Chlorops nigripalpis (Duba, 1933) = Ch. crassipalpis E. Smirnov, 1955, Ch. rufinus (Zetterstedt, 1848) = Ch. citrinellus (Zetterstedt, 1848), Ch. limbatus Meigen, 1830 = Ch. discicornis Zetterstedt, 1848. The synonymy of Ch. taeniopus gotlandica Holmgern, 1887 with Ch. pumilionis (Bjerkander, 1778) is confirmed. The names Ch. discicornis Zetterstedt, 1848 and Ch. taeniopus gotlandica Holmgern, 1887 were overlooked by all or nearly all authors dealing with Chloropidae.
Introduction
Authors: Hosbey Justin , Lloréns Hilda , Roane J. T.
Published: August 2022

This collection derives from an ongoing experiment in thinking through and with the potential epistemic insurgency presented by our loose collective’s working terminology, “Black ecologies.” This term moves from the resonances between the editors’ own research in New Orleans, Puerto Rico, and Virginia, respectively. Each of us considers from our different vantages the ecological consequences of slavery and its afterlives in the enduring regime of extractivism and disposability shaping Black communities in the Diaspora. This resonance has inspired us to collaborate in various formations, including a virtual dialogue about the environment for the People’s Strike organization in July 2021, the Black Ecologies series at Black Perspectives, the virtual gathering hosted by the Black Ecologies Initiative at Arizona State University in Spring 2022, “Making Livable Worlds” (following co-editor Hilda Lloréns’ monograph title), and a zine publication, which have together added further integrity, meaning, and possibilities for thinking with this formulation outside a restrictive or proprietary vision for its potential.
Black Spatial Affordances and the Residential Ecologies of the Great Migration
Authors: Morrison Amani C.
Published: August 2022

Affordance theory, originating in ecological psychology but adopted by the field of design studies, refers to possibilities for action that a subject perceives in an environment. I posit Black spatial affordance, critically employing affordances with an eye toward Black ecological and geographical practices, and I apply it to the Great Migration residential landscape and literature. Grounded in racial capitalist critique, Black geographic thought, and cultural critique at the intersections of race, place, and performance, Black spatial affordance works as an analytic to engage Black quotidian practice in racially circumscribed and delineated places and spaces. Operating at multiple scales, Black spatial affordance engages the specificity of places structured by racism to analyze the micro-level spatial negotiations Black subjects devise and employ in recognition of the terrain through which they move or are emplaced. Employing Black spatial affordance enables critical inquiry into the spatial navigation of subjects who occupy marginal positions in society.

Published: August 2022

Around 19.8 million high school children in Indonesia are currently studying under the threat of the COVID-19 pandemic. To prevent the transmission of the COVID-19 in the school environment, the Minister of Education and Culture has issued a circular letter regarding online learning and work from home, which requires all schools to implement the “Learn from Home” policy. This policy must be applied from the new semester of 2020-2021 and needs to be supported by a Learning Management System (LMS) along with the competence of all stakeholders. Moodle was chosen because it is free, customizable, and can be deployed in a dedicated server to be fully managed by the school. Implementation stages include requirements gathering, installation and configuration, testing, training, and evaluation. The evaluation noted some needs for the next program, such as simplifying the input process for quiz questions, exploring deeper features, and providing more informative tutorials.

Authors: Vigna Veronica , Figari Massimo
Published: August 2022

The harvesting of wind energy and its transformation into a thrust force for the ship propulsion is the basics of Wind-Assisted Ship Propulsion (WASP). The concept has been gaining in popularity in the last years due to the expected benefits in emission reduction. To exploit the benefits, a proper integration between the conventional diesel engine-screw propeller propulsion plant and the WASP is mandatory. This paper aims to study the integration of the Flettner rotor technology with a conventional ship propulsion plant with controllable pitch propellers. The method allows to evaluate the engine-propeller working points and, eventually the total ship propulsive power, considering the influence of the rotor and the wind conditions. The total ship power is modelled on the amount of power required to spin the rotor, providing a way to compare hybrid propulsive solutions in terms of fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. A 3000 ton Ro-Ro/Pax ferry has been selected as a case study. Results on the parametric analysis of rotor dimensions and wind conditions are presented. Assuming fixed wind conditions, the effect of the rotor at different ship speeds is shown.
Industry 4.0 in Shipbuilding. Application in Autonomous Ships
Authors: Perez Fernandez Rodrigo
Published: August 2022

Industry 4.0 has favoured the expansion of many technologies where application boundaries are very diffuse. Although some technologies may have very specific applications, there are others much more open. The Shipbuilding Industry is quite traditional, however there are many advantages if the Industry 4.0 technologies could be applied from the beginning of the ship design to autonomous shipping. CAD/CAM tools are used to manage many data that must be considered in advance for the further stages of the ship lifecycle. Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality and Mixed Reality are closely related to the Digital Twin and interlaced with Big Data, which are generated by CAD tools and all surrounding solutions, which applies some cloud/edge/fog computing to these data in a merged technology between finite-state machines and Artificial Intelligence cognitive processes. To perform all these integrations in an agile manner requires a network which support different connections to add specific devices, i.e. Internet of the Things, which can access to the data, creating and modifying them, in a different layer which affects to the basic information layer created by the CAD/PLM tools in the shipyard and later on being used by the autonomous ships. This network should be secure, but also open to allow distributed work, which must be tracked such that all design or process modifications are recorded an open, transparent, trusted and non-modifiable working method for all stakeholders, like shipyard, engineering offices, classification society and ship owner. This paper briefly summarizes how Industry 4.0 technologies may be applied to the shipbuilding, whether through direct integration or in connected periphery applications, and its application to autonomous ships.
Dynamic Instability of Ships in Stern-Quartering Seas Within the SGISC
Authors: Lena Christian , Bonci Matteo
Published: August 2022

The International Maritime Organization has formally approved as recommended guidelines the methods and procedures of the Second Generation Intact Stability Criteria (SGISC). These criteria introduce the concept of dynamic stability assessment of ships, defining the failure modes that might occur to a ship that navigates in harsh sea conditions. This paper focuses on the failure mode surf-riding/broaching-to in stern-quartering seas, with the objective of analyzing the characteristics and the potential of SGISC risk assessment in the ship design. The risk-evaluation criteria of surf-riding and broaching were followed through Level 1 and Direct assessment of SGISC. Two different hull designs were considered, a Fast Displacement Ship and a high-speed V-bottom, hard chine hull. Time domain simulations were performed using a time domain potential flow boundary element method. A detailed definition of broaching was used to detect the event occurrence in irregular waves, and the results were compared with failure mode definition of SGISC concerning the roll and lateral acceleration safe limits exceedance. The SGISC were also employed in the attempt to evaluate the different failure mode risk assessment due to different stern appendages configurations of the two hull designs with respect to broaching and surf-riding.
Naval Fleet Integrated Logistic Design Optimization: The Italian Navy Experience in Enhancing Feedback from the Field

Published: August 2022

Defense budget are shrinking and human resources are becoming more critical, while operational needs of Warships increase and change in the life cycle to face new threats. To achieve the best balance between operational availability (Ao) and costs all along the life cycle, the sustainability requires a correct initial definition of the support followed by its continuous optimization, guaranteed by constant monitoring and analysis of the data coming back from the field, by a review of the reliability parameters, maintenance plan and spare parts list. The ITN (Italian Navy) started a change management initiative from beginning of 2000’ through an optimization process by analysing the return from the field data during the TGS FREMM contract, which has lasted for more than 10 years. This process consist of: ∙ An initial definition of the support: configuration management, obsolescence monitoring, maintenance plans and definition of stocks, optimized with OPUS10 tools, whose models are created starting from the logistic databases provided by the private industry; ∙ The evaluation and analysis of return from the field data: measure of the reached availability, KPIs (Key Performance Indicator) evaluation and reliability calculation, trough assessment software tools (Weibull) and recalculation software (Calypso); ∙ The optimization of support: in terms of operational availability and costs, in compliance with the operational requirements. After the FREMM experience, ITN is taking over all the activities performed so far by the private companies, for current and future shipbuilding programs (LSS, PPA and LHD). The authors will go through the process set, tested for FREMM program, will show results after more than 10 years of experience, and will cover all the activities Italian Navy is taking care by itself for new programs, mentioning as well ITN investments and available tools.
Numerical Modelling of the Hydrodynamic Response of a Fixed Dual-Chamber Oscillating Water Column Wave Energy Converter Through the Meshless DualSPHysics Method
Authors: Anastas Gael , Santos João Alfredo , Fortes Conceição Juana E.M.
Published: August 2022

A numerical model of a dual-chamber Oscillating Water Columns (OWC) Wave Energy Converter (WEC) is built through the DualSPHysics software. This code is based on the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) model, a Lagrangian meshless method where particles represent the flow, interact with structures, and exhibit large deformation with moving boundaries. A one phase approach – only water - is chosen in order to limit the computing time, as it increases with the total number of particles. The power take-off (PTO) of the system is modeled by the force applied by a vertical linear spring link on a floating plate inside the chamber. The force formula and coefficients are described, discussed, and tuned for various wave states to optimize the model. Validations against experimental data available from previous tests in wave flumes are performed. The floating plate heave of the numerical model is compared with the experimental free surface elevation. The result analyses establish the benefits and limits of DualSPHysics to model a fixed dual-chamber OWC WEC.

Published: August 2022

Marine diesel engines are systems integrated into a complex ship’s propulsion plant and comprehensive diagnostic analysis of possible degradations and failures is very challenging. Nowadays, current software and hardware allow exploring innovative ways, although each methodology cannot be considered apart from an adequate onboard monitoring system. In this work, the effects of several typical degradations of a ship’s engine, affecting some parameters that can be monitored on board, have been supposed and analyzed in order to their detection at an early stage by processing some parameters that can be monitored on board. The main aim is to provide a tool able to trace the engine performance decay. The procedure is based on the simulation of the engine model performed with input data measured on board and on a comparison of the outcomes with the real data. The case study is a 12.000 kW (750 rpm) 4-stroke marine diesel engine, simulated in a Matlab/Simulink environment and validated through the manufacturer’s datasheet. At this stage of the research, to make up for the lack of experimental data recorded onboard, a more detailed engine simulator is used to generate onboard data, with some alterations of the operating conditions as, intercooler efficiency and loss of pressure, turbocharger fouling, and many others. The numerical diagnostic tool acts on the minimization of the mean square errors (optimization problem) between the measured and the numerically simulated engine variables (such as pressures, temperatures, etc…) by properly varying the model parameters. The state of the engine is evaluated by analyzing the offset between the parameters of the degraded model and those obtained through the identification procedure for the degraded case.
Sensitivity Analysis of a Marine Gasoline Engine: From Power to Emissions

Published: August 2022

Numerical simulations currently represent a valid aid to assess the performance of marine engines. Anyway, most of past applications generally focused on large supercharged 4-stroke diesel engines, while few results are available in the literature for fast outboard engines, generally installed onboard recreational crafts. Therefore, a case study on a fast outboard diesel engine (4T, 6300 rpm, 350 hp) is currently provided and discussed. The simulations are performed in the Ricardo Wave environment, where NOX and CO emissions are estimated, in addition to the typical engine performances. The data, required for the model calibration, were obtained from the engine manufacturer datasheets, as well as from a set of available sea trials. Nevertheless, not all parameters were available, so as some of them were selected based on past experience or in accordance with similarly sized diesel engines, after performing a preliminary sensitivity analysis. As concerns the assessment of NOX and CO emissions, different simulation methods are embodied to assess the chemical equilibrium in the combustion chamber and investigate the relevant incidence in terms of time effort amount, and estimated results. Current simulations reveal to be also useful to model dual fuel (gasoline/natural gas) engines and evaluate the impact of this type of alternative plant on consumption and air emissions.
