Authors: Danladi Ali , KurtoÄŸlu Mehmet , Vural Ahmet Mete
Published: June 2019

This study aims to popularize low voltage power supply design especially for space satellite Cubesat mission and other portable consumer electronic devices. In this context, a preliminary design of an electrical power subsystem (EPS) is carried out for a conceptual 1u Cubesat mission in this paper. Mathematical modeling of the basic elements of the EPS is presented. Photovoltaic (PV) power generation system that is selected is made up of triple-junction solar cells, and the battery charging system based on lithium technology as well as the power conditioning converters are selected based on single ended primary inductance converter topology popularly abbreviated as SEPIC. Triple-junction solar PV cell results are verified by comparing with the datasheet values. A maximum power point tracking algorithm which is known as perturb and observe is implemented and proportional-integral controller is used for the SEPIC. All of these are well analyzed, mathematically modeled and simulated. Feasibility of the designed EPS is verified by comparing with similar devices from different manufacturers.

Authors: Sa'ada Nailus , Harsono Tri , Basuki Ahmad
Published: June 2019

Images contain a lot of information that can be used in a variety of areas. One of the images that have much information inside is satellite image. In order to extract the information properly, the image processing step should be performed properly. The segmentation process plays an important role in image processing, especially for feature extraction. Many ways were developed to perform the segmentation image. In this study, we apply DBSCAN clustering to segment images on whirlwind cloud feature extraction problems. DBSCAN is a density-based classifier method which means it is suitable to group a density-based data. While the image used in the segmentation process is the Himawari 8 satellite image which also contains density-based data. It contains various information about clouds condition like cloud type, cloud temperature, cloud humidity, rainfall potential based on cloud temperature, etc. This study uses Himawari 8 satellite images as input where the images taken are images several hours before a wirlwind event in an area, while the cluster method used is the DBSCAN algorithm. Clustering is done to get the extraction features of a wirlwind in the form of centroid points that characterize the movement of a cloud. Segmentation performance was observed based on the number of centroid points as a result of clustering several types of clouds in an area before a wirlwind occurred. Based on segmentation testing using the DBSCAN algorithm for cloud data in an area for several hours before a wirlwind, better segmentation performance was obtained compared to the segmentation results of the Meng hee heng k-means algorithm for the same test data specifications. DBSCAN separates a type of cloud in more detail that makes it easier to record each centroid of each cluster around the scene. It is even able to cluster small groups of clouds independently so that these small groups of clouds can also be detected as features.

In this paper, we present a thinking support system, AI-Josyu. This system also operates as a class support system which helps to teachers for lightening their work. AI-Josyu is implemented based on media-driven real-time content management framework. The system links real world media and legacy media contents together. In resent years, it is easier to collect a large amount of various kinds of data which are created with sensors in the real world. The system realizes interconnection and utilization of legacy media contents. The legacy media contents are generated and scattered on the Internet. The framework has four modules, which are called â€œacquisition,â€ â€œextraction,â€ â€œselection,â€ and â€œretrieval.â€ The real world media and the legacy media contents are interconnected by these modules. This interconnection includes semantic components. This system records teacher's voice of its lecture in real time and presents retrieved legacy media contents corresponding to subject of the lecture. By this presentation, preparing of the legacy contents is not required. This system automatically retrieves and shows the legacy media contents. This system helps students to understand contents of the lecture. In addition, the system attends to expansion of ideas.Â We constructed the system and conducted the demonstration in class. It shows that the system is helpful to teacher and students for expansion of thinking.

Published: June 2019

As the importance of protection in power systems increase, knowing the type of malfunction occurring in the system has become crucial. Especially in the distribution system where electricity is delivered to the consumer, detecting the right fault type with a short amount of time is important. For this purpose in this study, AkyazÄ±-DÃ¼zkÃ¶y distribution feeder in Trabzon province, where faults commonly occur, is modeled with Digsilent Powerfactory. The model is performed with actual parameters including 465 lines, 243 loads, 233 transformers and 1093 busbars. First, the load flow and short circuit analysis have been carried out for the validation of the model. Then a fault detection and classification algorithm is enhanced using the wavelet transform and the energy of the coefficients. Different types of short circuit faults are created at different points on the model to test the accuracy of the algorithm. The fault inception time and the effect of the fault resistance are also investigated.

Published: June 2019

Almost traditional fishermen still use manual methods to catch fish that rely on experience in fishing and information among fellow fishermen. This method is not effective for maximizing fish production. A good pattern or strategy is needed to increase fish production. In determining dissemination pattern of fish, it can be predicted from physical parameters such as temperature, salinity, chlorophyll, turbidity, total suspended solids, and colored dissolved organic matter using the Landsat 8 images. Â This research area is on the Island of Madura Coast. The pattern is determined by using Lagrange Interpolation and clustering using K-Means. The results of the study of the pattern of fish dissemination were then validated with data from the Dinas Kelautan dan Perikanan Jawa Timur. The results between fish patterns and validation data in 2015 showed similarities in January, February, March, May, June, July, August, September. In 2016, results between fish patterns and validation data showed that similarities in July, August, September, and December. In 2017, results between fish patterns and validation data showed similarities in November. 2015 has the most similarities between the patterns and validation data and the least similarity are 2017.

Published: June 2019

Dalam budidaya tambak udang, untuk pengecekan kandungan pH air para petani tambak kebanyakan memakai cara konvensional, yaitu dengan mengukur menggunakan pH meter digital ataupun kertas lakmus secara periodik. Sistem pembacaan pH manual membuat penanganan lambat padahal udang adalah hewan yang sensitif dengan perubahan kualitas air. Proses pengecekan yang dilakukan secara periodik kebanyakan membuang-buang waktu, dan tingkat kesalahan manusia yang tinggi. Didalam sistem cara kerja sistem monitoring pH air tambak udang adalah kadar pH dibaca sensor lalu di olah di mikrokontroler arduino mega, setelah pemerosesan selesai akan di tampilkan pada layar LCD secara realtime. Ketika kadar pH mengalami perubahan status dari normal ke tinggi, normal ke rendah, rendah ke normal, dan tinggi ke normal maka alat akan mengirimkan peringatan melalui SMS Gateway ke handphone petani tambak udang. Dari hasil pengujian sistem secara keseluruhan menunjukan bahwa sistem telah mampu mengirim pesan sms pada setiap perubahan status. Pengujian pada lokasi tambak memiliki nilai rata-rata pH sebesar 7,68.

Published: June 2019

Present literature related to human resource development highlights that training management is a strategic human resource management policy. This issue has been viewed as a remarkable phenomenon in dynamic organizations. Recent studies mostly published in the 21st century  proved that the ability of management to plan and implement training programs may produce a noteworthy effect on work related attitudes, particularly in training transfer. This study incorporates a cross-sectional design as it delivers flexibility to the researchers in incorporating the training management literature, a self-administered questionnaires and semi-structured interview to gather data from participants at a military medical corps using a purposive sampling method. They are the administrators, medical doctors, nurses and supporting staff who work in different divisions within the organization. The SmartPLS path model analysis was utilized to analyze the validity and reliability of the instrument, and thus testing the research hypotheses. The results of SmartPLS path model analysis revealed that the implementation of communication and assignment in managing training programs had led to higher employees’ motivation to transfer, while  implementation of support in managing training programs had not led to higher employees’ motivation to transfer in the organizational sample. Therefore, this study further suggests that communication and assignment should be considered as a critical success factor for the training management domain, as well as external and internal obstacles should be comprehensively evaluated to maintain and achieve the training goals in an era of knowledge-based organization.  Keywords: Assignment, communication, support, training management, training transfer. Cite as: Ismail, A., Foboy, N.

Published: June 2019

Previous studies show that a superior tourist experience would lead to travel satisfaction and develop loyalty towards a destination. However, the role and influence of experience quality on tourist behavioural intentions have yet to be thoroughly scrutinized. This study aims at examining the experience quality of Pangkor Island tourists and its effect on their satisfaction and destination loyalty. This research applied the convenience sampling method whereby the survey data were collected conveniently from the tourists visiting Pangkor Island. The data obtained were examined via Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM). The structural model assessment proposed that the natural attraction of Pangkor Island, the local behaviour, destination value, safety and cleanliness influence the tourists' satisfaction and destination loyalty. This study contributes to a better understanding of how the quality of tourist experience affect their behavioural mechanisms: travel satisfaction and destination loyalty. The research findings contribute to the literature on island tourism and enrich the existing knowledge of experience quality components and their effect on tourists’ satisfaction and destination loyalty.Keywords: Destination loyalty, experience quality, Pangkor Island, satisfaction, Tourist. Cite as: Hanafiah, M.

SOLICITATION OF ONLINE SOCIAL SUPPORT: SELF-DISCLOSURE OF EATING DISORDER PATIENTS
Authors: Zulkarnain Nur Azwin , Mohd Jan Jariah
Published: June 2019

This paper focuses on the online construction of self-disclosure of individuals suffering from eating disorders and demonstrates how strategies of soliciting online social support are mediated within the public sphere. McCormack (2010) indicates that participation of individuals suffering from eating disorders in online support groups, where they anonymously share their feelings and issues via the Internet, is more accessible and non-costly compared to offline settings. This serves as motivation for data to be collected from the discussion forums on the National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA) website. Relevant posts of self-disclosure containing instances of online solicitation of support dated from January 2018 to March 2018 were analysed using the computer-mediated discourse analysis (CMDA) method and North’s (1997) Strategies of Soliciting Social Support. The findings reveal that the sharing of experience is regarded as the most frequent strategy of soliciting support opted by ED patients. This result in a lengthier posts where detailed explanation of their problems were disclosed. It appears that the strategy utilized in online support-solicitation is merely a channel used in portraying the actual state of the support-seekers in handling their illness. In addition, as ED is perceived to be uncommon and unprioritized in Asia (Miller & Pumariega, 2001), the possibility of getting help from various channels may be scarce. Thus, this study’s outcome provides a vivid image on how online social support discussions can be considered as one of the potential effective platforms to help individuals in the Southeast Asia who suffer from ED in their recovery process. Keywords: Computer-mediated discourse, eating disorders, online social support, self-disclosure, soliciting. Cite as: Zulkarnain, N.

Authors: Yasin Zuriyani Md. , Ahamad Shah Mohamed Ismail
Published: June 2019

This paper presents a study on the interactive roles of lexical knowledge and reading strategies on reading comprehension performance of ESL learners. It examines how the lexical knowledge or the reading strategies contribute to second language (L2) reading comprehension. It also investigates whether there is a relationship among the three main variables which are lexical knowledge, reading strategies and reading comprehension performance. The Survey of Reading Strategy (SORS), the Vocabulary Levels Test, a writing test and a reading comprehension test were administered to 70 students from the Public Administration Course through convenience sampling method. Descriptive statistics was used to describe the participants’ performance on the three tests and their reading strategies used as well as to assess the relationship between the three main variables of this study. On the whole, the participants reported using most of the reading strategies with high and moderate frequencies. Apart from that, it is found that, the students’ word mastery level is only 2,000 word families, which is far below the minimum level required for tertiary education. There is no correlation found between the reading strategies used and the reading comprehension achievement of the participants. On the other hand, a statistically significant relationship (r= .739, p<0.01) was found between the participants vocabulary size and reading comprehension performance. The findings of this study help both language teachers and students to acknowledge the roles of lexical knowledge and reading strategies in improving the L2 reading comprehension performance. Keywords: Global strategies, lexical knowledge, problem-solving strategies, reading strategies, support strategies. Cite as: Zuriyani, M.

RECONCEPTUALIZING THE 21ST CENTURY ENGLISH PEDAGOGIES FOR ISLAMIC SCHOOL TEACHERS IN ASEAN
Authors: Assalihee Muhammadafeefee , Boonsuk Yusop , Bakoh Nachima , Sano Ibrahima Lamine
Published: June 2019

Since more people have become competent in English, the number of non-native English speakers continues to increase. The larger the number, the more diverse English-speaking individuals are. Consequently, there has been an emerged demand for new English pedagogies to adequately address the diversity of English-communicative encounters. The aims of English language learning in the 21st century have shifted from English interactions with native speakers to any English encounters that may involve native or non-native speakers. In response to the call of ELT transformation for the 21st century global challenges on diverse English environments, this study seeks to analyze and synthesize the ELT pedagogic countermeasures employed by the nine English teachers in Malaysia, Indonesia, and Singapore. The participants were purposively selected. The data predominantly collected from different participant groups by utilizing a semi-structured interview and focus group discussion. The derived qualitative data were then processed with content analysis. The findings revealed 6 ELT approaches that are effective for language acquisition of English classrooms in Islamic schools: (1) reconsidering new roles and functions of teachers; (2) emphasizing active learning and encouraging collaboration; (3) implementing technology; (4) employing local learning materials; (5) integrating learning to other study areas; and (6) reevaluating learners’ learning. Based on the findings, education practitioners can adapt their English teaching practices, whereas policy makers and curriculum designers can reconsider to reconceptualize national policies and curriculums in English education for Thai and other ASEAN learners to enhance their English proficiency for a higher quality global member of the 21st century. Keywords: English language, teaching and learning, 21st century education  Cite as: Assalihee, M., Boonsuk, Y., Bakoh, N., & Sano, I.

MOVING ONWARD: TRANSNATIONALISM AND FACTORS INFLUENCING ROHINGYAS’ MIGRATION FROM BANGLADESH TO MALAYSIA
Authors: Ab.Wahab Andika , Khairi Aizat
Published: June 2019

Continuous human rights persecutions have forced nearly one million Rohingyas to flee from Myanmar and seek refuge in Bangladesh. While their forced migration to the first asylum country of Bangladesh is inevitable, some have been compelled to move onward to other transit countries. Existing studies indicate various factors influencing cross-border activities among different segments of immigrants. They also suggest that the degree of transnationalism affects different kind of people on the move, subsequently brings about unique consequences to receiving community. In this study, we aim to determine factors contributing to the onward movement of Rohingyas from their refugee camps in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh to Malaysia. We utilize the broader concept of transnationalism in order to gauge the Rohingyas’ perception and the realities they face in relation to their onward movement from Bangladesh to Malaysia. This study employed three methods of data collection namely a survey, an in-depth interview and a focus group discussion in engaging the Rohingyas in Klang Valley, Malaysia. Resulting from a two-part of data collection conducted in 2013 and 2016, we found that the onward movement of Rohingyas was mostly driven by poverty, unconducive livelihood experiences, limited access to humanitarian aid, and inadequate refugee protection in Bangladesh. Meanwhile, positive Rohingyas’ perception toward Malaysia, coupled with the availability of job opportunities have attracted them to choose Malaysia as the next asylum country. While this study enriches the existing literatures on transnationalism and onward movement of refugees, it also provides empirical evidences for humanitarian assistances in Bangladesh and Malaysia. Keywords: Forced migration, onward movement, refugees, Rohingya, transnationalism. Cite as: Ab.

THE REFORMS OF NATIONAL ASSESSMENTS IN MALAYSIAN EDUCATION SYSTEM
Authors: Chin Huan , Thien Lei Mee , Chiew Cheng Meng
Published: June 2019

Although the impact of education policy reform could inform future policymaking initiatives, studies on education policy reform of student assessment are considered scarce. This study attempts to scrutinise the drivers, impacts, and challenges of education policy reform of the national assessment system in Malaysia based on policy documents and previous empirical studies. The findings indicated that the education policy reform of the Malaysian national assessment system is driven by the decline of pupils’ performance in international large-scale assessments. There are changes in content, format, and structure of the public examinations and assessment delivery procedures. The emergence of school-based assessment shows a paradigm shift from cognitive learning to a more holistic manner. Challenges arise included teachers’ extra workload, teachers’ readiness, lack of reference materials, and time constraints in implementing school-based assessment. Findings inferred the needs in refining the monitoring and coaching system in order to ensure the student assessment implementation does not diverge from the missions of education policy reform.  This study is hoped to provide useful insights for future policymaking initiatives, particularly in Malaysia. Keywords: Malaysia, policy reform, public examination, school-based assessment, student assessment. Cite as: Chin, H., Thien, L.

Fractal-Synergetic Approach to the Research of Entrepreneurship in the Non-Profit Organizations
Authors: Vasilenko Liudmila Alexandrovna
Published: June 2019

We have applied the term “entrepreneurship” to the development of non-profit organizations working in the field of social and innovation activity. We consider entrepreneurship as a process of personal, self-organizing or systemic renewal and self-organization, as a movement through the development of ideas towards creating new and existing enterprises. We reviewed the promotion of social innovations on a methodological basis of sociosynergetics using cross-disciplinary and fractal-evolutionary approaches. The introduction of innovations is accompanied by the irreversibility expressed by the violation of symmetry between the past and the future (according to I. Prigogine), and the research of innovations requires the introduction of the concept of an “event”. Some events should have the ability to change the course of evolution. The criterion for evaluating the advancement of social innovation is the degree of its influence on the social system: the local nature of the impact (change in one or several order parameters) – Auto-Poesies models; the emergence of a new parameter of order in connection with the acquisition of a new quality of the social system – Synergy-integrating models; the allocation of a new sub-system in the framework of the modernized old social system – Openness entrepreneurship models; the birth of a fundamentally new social system, accompanied by the destruction of the old order parameters. In managing innovation processes, it is important to choose such innovations that are in line with the trends in the development of the social system, given the scale of social consequences.
A Comparative Analysis of Theoretical and Methodological Foundations of Political Culture
Authors: Ordukhanyan Emil
Published: June 2019

In modern world various transformations have an impact on social and political processes of the society. Even cultural changes somehow depend on these transformations. Therefore, social and political phenomena need new approaches for their study, where the political culture has its proper relevance.

The article explores the theoretical and methodological foundations of political culture based on the analysis of foreign and Armenian scholars works. The behavioral, psychological, comparative and other approaches as well as methods of political culture analysis are examined.

In a result of generalization of theoretical approaches and summarizing the outcomes obtained from a comparative analysis of political culture methodologies, we can define political culture as the aggregate of political ideas, knowledge, traditions and values; as a whole of political participation and behavior models; as a relatively stable link between political consciousness and socialization, between stages and levels of political communication tools and political institutions, which defines the political process and which is expressed through the political discourse.
Queer: a Philosophy Phenomenon, a Social Construct, a Language Sign
Authors: MARCHYSHYNA Alla Anatolii , SKRYPNYK Anatolii
Published: June 2019

The paper considers ontology of queer as interpreted in philosophy, social studies and language. The short history of the analysed concept sheds light on transformations of its semantic structure. Queer is viewed inseparably from gender theory where it gets apparent representation as a queer gender identity. The diffusive and trespassing nature makes queer contrary to stable and traditionally immutable sex/gender dichotomy with the normative male/female components. Queer violation of this long-established standard results in revolutionary shifts in the philosophy of human sex/gender freedom of manifestation and recognition, formation and alteration of social stereotypes, introduction and spread of verbal means serving the lingual signs of queer in general and queer gender identity, in particular. Texts of scholarly, publicist and literary functional styles depict “queer” differently depending on the objectives of each register and the appropriate scope of linguistic tools.

On the Relationship Between Thinking and World Language Modeling: Based on Old Armenian Language Materials
Authors: Khachatryan Lalik
Published: June 2019

The analysis of the issues concerning the relationship between thinking and world language modeling showcases that linguistic modelings are at the forefront of the Old Armenian language and regulate the linguistic determinism and linguistic outlook of the society. Examinations of the Old Armenian sentence models and samples reveal that various qualitative manifestations of thinking existed in the 5th century, which are conditioned by the grammatical structure of Old Armenian, and the foreign-language influences. These were displayed both in translated literature and independent bibliographic works.  Linguistic determinism as a synchronous maxim can also bear the stamp of foreign-language influences while deeply preserving the peculiarities of national mentality.

This function is taken over by the packaging of goods whose task is to sell itself. The aim of the article is to present and characterize examples of selected Slovak food and beverages packaging, on which manufacturers have introduced Slovak folk motifs and specify what factor influenced manufactures to use it. This article is divided into two parts. In the first part, we present examples of folk motifs on the packaging of selected Slovak food products and alcoholic beverages. In the second part of this article, we presented the results of a structured interview with 4 managers which introduced on the Slovak market food and beverages packaging with folk motifs. The reason of application of folk motifs on packaging was that employees from this these companies are associated with folklore, patriotism and traditions. They honour the traditions of Slovak ancestors and Slovak country and are glad that the time has come when culture and traditions are preferred and supported. Companies sell Slovak products and therefore Slovak folk motifs are listed on packages their products.

Hydrocephalus Internus and other Neural Malformations, Brachyury in German Holstein Twin Calves
Authors: USTA Zafer , DISTL Ottmar
Published: June 2019

A two-days-old female German Holstein twin calf borned a deformed
cranium. The calf was not able to endure and died shortly after the clinical
examination and this calf was submitted to necropsy. Pathological-anatomical
examination showed multiple malformations including hydrocephalus internus and
atrophy of cerebellar hemispheres, hypoplasia of the cerebellum, syringomyelia
in the cervical spinal cord and the cranial part of the thoracic spinal cord,
hydromyelia in the caudal part of the thoracic spinal cord, scoliosis between
the fifth and seventh thoracic vertebra and bilateral keratitis could be
associated with a positive result for bovine viral diarrhoea (BVD) virus
antibodies. Its male co-twin with brachyury and also dam of the twins were
positive for BVD virus antibodies by ELİSA Test. Infection by BVD virus in an
early stage of the pregnancy may be assumed to be responsible for the multiple
malformations in the female twin and the brachyury of the male co-twin.

Published: June 2019

Kedilerde baş ve boyun bölgesi dermatiti (Bbbd), geniş doğal oluşumu ve her
gün artan vaka sayısı nedeniyle büyük ilgi uyandırmaktadır. Kaşıntı lezyonların
bilinen özelliğidir. Bu retrospektif
çalışmada, toplam 15 kedi [7 sağlıklı ve 8 baş ve boyun dermatiti ile]
kaydedilmiş ve seçilen cilt biyofizik belirteci için korenometrik analize tabi
tutulmuştur. Ortalama (standart sapma) pH değerleri açısından, sağlıklı
olanların aksine, Fhnd'li kedilerde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark (p =
0.003) gözlenmiştir. Öte yandan, hidrasyon değerlerinin değerlerinde bir
anlamlılık gözlenmemiştir. Sonuç olarak bu çalışma Bbbd bulunan kedilerde
topikal uygulamalarda dikkat edilmesi gerektiğini belirten ön çalışma verileri
olarak değerlendirilebilir.

Allergy, nearly a hundred years ago, a
paediatrician comprehended the idea of allergy, the initial connection of the
immune system via an antigen altering the reactivity of the cases. In recent
years several hypothesis and novel findings have been conducted in veterinary
medicine, yet allergic dermatitis due to house dust mites ar of interest in
feline medicine. The purpose of this retrospective reserach was to verify
underlying causes of clinical findings to those of cats with allergic
dermatitis. Allergen speicific Ig E concentrations against Dermatophagoides farinae and Dermatophagoides
pteronyssinus were determined by use of in vitro Polycheck Veterinary
allergy tests (RDA grup, İstanbul). In a total of 33 cats were introduced to
the Adnan Menderes University, Faculty of Veterinary, Department of Internal
Medicine clinic with primary/secondary skin lesions or to those of general
health status check up. On initial referaal available haematological,
microbiological, parasitological and relevant tests were performed. Nineteen
cats were deemed healthy based on relevant analysis (neither infection nor
hypersensitivity) were enrolled as a control group. Other 14 cats were composed
of allergic cases. A total 0.2 ml of blood was taken from all cats for specific
IgE analysis against 20 different allergens, in which interpretation involved
solely house dust mites. Regarding allergen specific IgE levels (kU/l) in
allergic cats, in vitro tests gave a positive reactions for D. farinae [class 3,4 (n=1), class 2
(n=7), class 1 (n=6) and class 0 (n=0)] and D.
pteronyssinus [class 3,4 (n=1), class 2(n=5), class 1(n=4) and class 0
(n=4)] in whom at least 1 antigen was detected in all allergic cats. There was a statistical significance for
specific Ig E leves between healthy controls and allergic cats against house
dust mites as follows; 0.21 ± 0.018 vs. 4.69 ± 1.49 for D. farinae (p=0.0001) and 0.21 ± 0.023 vs. 3.11 ± 1.21 (p=0.003)
for D. pteronyssinus. In the
present retrospective study, all positive reactions on the Polycheck allergy
test were suggested to present underlying house dust allergens of dermatitis in
enrolled cats. As far as well known factor that in vitro allergy tests solely
might not be reflecting hypersensitivity from healthy cases because of
nonunique clinically findings
