Authors: DURMAZ Hazel , KOYUNCU Melik
Published: July 2019

In order to serve the purpose of the study, two different mathematical models which belong to production line to were developed to assign workforces to the jobs who have different skills. The assignment model had been examined on a product that produced in a specified welding line in the automotive industry. All labor levels related to the product were analyzed by time study firstly and then the collected data were analyzed. New skill levels of workers, skill matrix were determined according to skill requirements (min. and max.) of the jobs. All collected data which come from time studies and skill matrix were used as an input parameter in the mathematical model that aim to minimize the unit production cost. Reports of mathematical models showed that it is necessary to assign right skilled worker to the job to minimize the production cost and increase the efficiency online. In this case the implementation was made by selecting a product in the welding manufacturing line. In the line, there are 5 stations that have 14 jobs and 27 operators. A modeling has been carried out in which the operators can be assigned to jobs under optimum conditions, based on assignment criterias. Models of sensitivity analyzes and statistic report results obtained the importance of the differences in the level of competence and the effect on the duration of the job as well as the decrease in the labor costs by assigning the correct workforce to the right job and by assigning right conditions to the model.﻿

Published: July 2019

Zakah is one of the alternative solutions to reduce poverty. Besides being a pillar of Islam, zakah is able to resolve the social problems of Muslim society. The social condition of society today is still in the poverty line. So many people live with shortages. Therefore, zakah can solve the problem if it is implemented in a good management. From several related studies, the researcher tried to reconstruct some ideas that were spread. The results of this study indicates that Islamic management patterns are very different with conventional management. So that Islamic management must be a standard in the practice of zakah management carried out by zakah management organization. They should be conducted with the principles of faith, leadership, management and good administration. With Islamic management standards, zakat will be able to be collected, managed, utilized and distributed based on the conditions of Islamic law.

BUGIS DI KERAJAAN MELAYU: EKSISTENSI ORANG BUGIS DALAM PEMERINTAHAN KERAJAAN JOHOR-RIAU-LINGGA-PAHANG
Authors: RAHMAT SYAHRUL
Published: July 2019

Kondisi geografis Semenanjung Melayu sebagai lalu lintas perdagangan kawasan Asia bagian Tenggara membuat daerah ini menjadi tujuan pelayaran dari berbagai etnis di Nusantara maupun dari belahan dunia lain, termasuk Orang Bugis yang berasal dari daratan Sulawesi bagian selatan. Dalam perkembangannya, selain untuk mencari penghidupan, lambat laun mereka mulai masuk ke dalam struktur pemerintahan Kerajaan Johor-Riau-Lingga-pahang. Kehadiran orang Bugis dalam struktur pemerintahan tersebut mengalami dinamika tersendiri terhadap kerajaan yang kelak berubah nama menjadi Kerajaan Riau Lingga. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian sejarah dengan fokus pada dinamika politik dan eksistensi orang Bugis dalam Kerajaan Melayu pada rentang abad ke-17 hingga 18. Selain merubah struktuur pemerintahan, posisi sebagai Yang Dipertuan Muda yang dijabat keturunan juga membawa perubahan terhadap perkembangan kerajaan tersebut. Sekalipun demikian, Yang Dipertuan Muda juga harus menghadapi konflik internal dalam kerajaan akibat dominasi mereka dalam usrusan pemerintahan.

The geographical conditions of the Malay Peninsula as the trade traffic in the Southeast Asian region make this area a destination for shipping from various ethnic groups in the archipelago as well as from other parts of the world, including the Bugis people from the southern Sulawesi mainland. In its development, in addition to make a living, they gradually begin to join the government structure of the Johor-Riau-Lingga-Pahang Kingdom.  Bugis existence in the government structure experiences its own dynamics towards the kingdom which later changes its name to the Kingdom of Riau Lingga. This research is a historical study with a focus on the political dynamics and the existence of Bugis in the Malay Kingdom in the 17th to 18th century. Besides changing the structure of government, the position as the Crown Prince, which was held by descendants also gives changes to the development of the kingdom. Even so, the Crown Prince must face internal conflicts in the kingdom due to their dominance in the government administration.
KESAN HADIS MAUDHU’ DALAM AMALAN UMAT ISLAM
Authors: Marpuah Siti , Ahmad Zamree Farah Darwisyah Binti
Published: July 2019

Hadis Maudhu’ adalah sesuatu yang disandarkan kepada Nabi Muhammad s.a.w samaada perbuatannya, perkataannya, taqrirnya, sifat akhlaqnya atau sifat semulajadinya, secara rekaan atau dusta semata-mata. Di dalam penggunaan masyarakat Islam di negara kita, hadis maudhu’ disebut juga dengan nama hadis palsu. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk melihat apakah faktor kemunculan hadis maudhu’ serta kesannya terhadap amalan beribadah umat Islam sekarang ini. Kajian ini merupakan kajian kualitatif melalui temu bual serta pengumpulan dokumen berupa kitab-kitab hadis. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahawa faktor kemunculan hadis maudu’ adalah adanya musuh Islam yang ingin merosakkan hadis yang betul, sikap fanatik terhadap kumpulan, sikap ambil mudah dalam meriwayatkan hadith, sikap kepentingan diri dan mencari kemasyhuran orang ramai, Kejahilan tentang ajaran Islam yang sebenar. Kesan hadis maudhu’ merosakkan akidah umat Islam, Merosakkan amalan syariah umat Islam, Merosakkan akhlak umat Islam, Merosakkan pendirian umat Islam, Mengabaikan hadith sahih. Untuk itu pengkaji mencadangkan supaya umat Islam lebih berhati-hati dalam memahami sesuatu hadis serta mengamalkannya, kerana ditakutkan ianya merupakan hadis maudu’ atau hadis palsu.

 

ABSTRACT: Hadith Maudhu' 'is something that is attributed to Prophet Muhammad s.a.w whether it is his actions, his words, his taqrir, his morality or his natural state, falsely or simply. In the use of the Muslim community in our country, the hadith maudhu 'is also called a false hadith. The purpose of this study is to see what is the origin of the hadith of maudhu 'and its effect on the worship practices of Muslims today. This study is a qualitative study through interviews and document collection in the form of hadith books. The results show that the factor of the emergence of the maudu hadith 'is the presence of the Muslim enemy who wants to destroy the hadith, the fanatical attitude towards the group, the easy attitude towards narrating the hadith, the attitude of the self and seeking public fame, ignorance of the true teachings of Islam. The effect of hadith maudhu 'is damaging to the faith of Muslims, it is damaging to the shariah practice of Muslims, it is damaging to the morals of Muslims, it is damaging to Muslims, it is disregarding authentic hadiths. Therefore, researchers suggest that Muslims should be more careful in understanding a hadith and practicing it, because it is feared that it is a maudu 'or false hadith.

ETIKA RELIGIUS MASYARAKAT MELAYU: KAJIAN TERHADAP PEMIKIRAN RAJA ALI HAJI
Authors: Faisal Muhammad
Published: July 2019

Tulisan ini bertujuan menggambarkan etika religius masyarakat Melayu dalam pemikiran Raja Ali Haji. Dalam perspektif masyarakat Melayu, persoalan etika yang menyangkut tentang keabsahan suatu perbuatan memang menjiwai spektrum pemikiran Melayu. Semenjak mangkatnya Sultan Mahmud Syah tahun 1699 dari dinasti terakhir kesultanan Melaka, menandai titik awal terjadinya perubahan radikal dalam etika masyarakat Melayu. Dalam konteks ini, perkembangan pemikiran etika Melayu mulai mencari bentuknya secara kritis. Salah satu pemikir Melayu yang sangat concern terhadap persoalan ini adalah Raja Ali Haji. Beliau berpendapat, persoalan baik dan buruknya suatu tindakan tidak lagi di cari dalam suatu bingkai tunggal kepemimpinan feodal, akan tetapi lebih kepada faktor-faktor non-struktural, seperti keberadaan syara', pemikiran-pemikiran keagamaan maupun unsur etnisitas yang semakin memperkaya pandangan etika dalam tradisi Melayu. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif, dengan sumber data primer karya-karya Raja Ali Haji, seperti Tuhfatun Nafis,Silsilah Melayu Bugis, Gurindam XII, Muqaddimah fi Intizham, Tsamarat al-Muhimmah, Kitab Pengetahuan Bahasa, Bustanul Katibin dan sumber sekunder berupa tulisan dan naskah terkait dengan memakai content analysis. Ada empat hal yang menjadi poin penting dalam etika masyarakat Melayu menurut Raja Ali Haji yang harus diperhatikan, yaitu moralitas penguasa, yang terdiri dari prinsip keadilan, musyawarah dan persamaan, keta’atan pada syari ‘at, bahasa serta pembentukan lingkungan bermoral.
Formation of exceptionally stable ketene during photo transformations of Bicyclo[2.2.2]oct-5-en-2-ones having mixed chromophores
Authors: Ghosh Asitanga
Published: July 2019

Photoreaction of Bicyclo[2.2.2]oct-5-en-2-ones having mixed chromophores like 5,6 dibenzoyl moiety and phenyl or isopropenyl like electron withdrawing groups at the bridgehead position have been checked in different solvent and different wavelength. In all cases regioselective 1,5-photophenyl migration leading to vinyl ketenes from more congested site of the molecule to the less one have been observed. The ketenes were exceptionally stable both in air and in solution. Its stability studies in acetonitrile through time dependent UV absorbance spectra revealed that it remained almost unchanged at least for couple of weeks.
A revision of the Crepidorhopalon whytei complex (Linderniaceae) in eastern Africa
Authors: Darbyshire I. , Wursten B. , Luke Q. , Fischer E.
Published: July 2019

The Crepidorhopalon whytei (Linderniaceae) species complex is revised using morphological analyses. Based primarily on variations in indumentum, floral morphology, corolla colour and seed morphology, four species are formally recognised within this group in eastern Africa.
Crepidorhopalon whytei s.str. is widespread in the highlands of eastern Africa, extending from South Sudan and Ethiopia in the north through to western Tanzania in the south. A new combination in Crepidorhopalon is made for Lindernia flava (= C. flavus), which
is confined to the Manica Highlands of the Mozambique-Zimbabwe border. Two new species are described, C. namuliensis which is known only from Mt Namuli in northern Mozambique and C. kwaleensis which is known only from the coastal lowlands of southeast Kenya. A fifth, imperfectly
known species is documented from the Nguru Mountains of Tanzania where it is so far known from a single collection. Three names are lectotypified. The habitat requirements and distribution are documented and the extinction risk is assessed for each species. Crepidorhopalon flavus is
assessed as globally Vulnerable and C. kwaleensis as globally Endangered, while C. namuliensis and C. whytei are currently considered to be of Least Concern, although the latter is declining markedly in parts of its range. The botanical importance of the key sites for
the newly recognised taxa is discussed.
Maximum Entropy-based Probabilistic Mass–Radius Relation of Exoplanets
Authors: Ma Qi , Ghosh Sujit K.
Published: July 2019

Transiting planet surveys of recent years like the Kepler and K2 missions have provided a great deal of data for studying the compositional constituents of exoplanets through the relationship between their masses and radii (M-R relation). However, it is often the case that only one of the mass or radius measurement is available for newly discovered planets, which makes it necessary to estimate the M-R relation conditioned on a sample of planets with both masses and radii measurements available but subject to measurement errors. The majority of the statistical models available in the literature on probabilistic M-R relation are based on the assumption that the planetary masses are normally distributed around the means determined by the power law without any justification. Given the power-law relation, using the well known Maximum Entropy Principle, it is shown that the conditional distribution of masses (given radii) follow an exponential distribution where the conditional mean is modeled using a flexible multiple knot-based power-law structure. Parameter estimation is carried out using Bayesian methods that not only account for measurement errors in building the likelihood function, but also perform proper imputation using posterior predictive distributions. Two data sets (from exoplanets.org site) are used to illustrate the flexibility and broad applicability of the proposed model.
Stochastic Ion Acceleration by the Ion-cyclotron Instability in a Growing Magnetic Field
Authors: Ley Francisco , Riquelme Mario , Sironi Lorenzo , Verscharen Daniel , Sandoval Astor
Published: July 2019

Using 1D and 2D particle-in-cell simulations of a plasma with a growing magnetic field

, we show that ions can be stochastically accelerated by the ion-cyclotron (IC) instability. As

grows, an ion pressure anisotropy

arises due to the adiabatic invariance of the ion magnetic moment (

and p
⊥,i
are the ion pressures parallel and perpendicular to

). When initially β

i
 = 0.5 (

, where p

i
is the ion isotropic pressure), the pressure anisotropy is limited mainly by inelastic pitch-angle scattering provided by the IC instability, which in turn produces a nonthermal tail in the ion energy spectrum. After

is amplified by a factor of ∼2.7, this tail can be approximated as a power law of index ∼3.4 plus two nonthermal bumps and accounts for 2%–3% of the ions and ∼18% of their kinetic energy. On the contrary, when initially β

i
 = 2, the ion scattering is dominated by the mirror instability, and the acceleration is suppressed. This implies that efficient ion acceleration requires that initially, β

i
 ≲ 1. Although we focus on cases where

is amplified by plasma shear, we check that the acceleration occurs similarly if

grows due to plasma compression. Our results are valid in a subrelativistic regime where the ion thermal energy is ∼10% of the ion rest-mass energy. This acceleration process can thus be relevant in the inner region of low-luminosity accretion flows around black holes.
Modeling a Carrington-scale Stellar Superflare and Coronal Mass Ejection from

Published: July 2019

Observations from the Kepler mission have revealed frequent superflares on young and active solar-like stars. Superflares result from the large-scale restructuring of stellar magnetic fields, and are associated with the eruption of coronal material (a coronal mass ejection, or CME) and energy release that can be orders of magnitude greater than those observed in the largest solar flares. These catastrophic events, if frequent, can significantly impact the potential habitability of terrestrial exoplanets through atmospheric erosion or intense radiation exposure at the surface. We present results from numerical modeling designed to understand how an eruptive superflare from a young solar-type star, κ
1
Cet, could occur and would impact its astrospheric environment. Our data-inspired, three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic modeling shows that global-scale shear concentrated near the radial-field polarity inversion line can energize the closed-field stellar corona sufficiently to power a global, eruptive superflare that releases approximately the same energy as the extreme 1859 Carrington event from the Sun. We examine proxy measures of synthetic emission during the flare and estimate the observational signatures of our CME-driven shock, both of which could have extreme space-weather impacts on the habitability of any Earth-like exoplanets. We also speculate that the observed 1986 Robinson-Bopp superflare from κ
1
Cet was perhaps as extreme for that star as the Carrington flare was for the Sun.
Fermi-LAT Observations of γ-Ray Emission toward the Outer Halo of M31

Published: July 2019

The Andromeda galaxy is the closest spiral galaxy to us and has been the subject of numerous studies. It harbors a massive dark matter halo, which may span up to ∼600 kpc across and comprises ∼90% of the galaxy’s total mass. This halo size translates into a large diameter of 42° on the sky, for an M31–Milky Way (MW) distance of 785 kpc, but its presumably low surface brightness makes it challenging to detect with γ-ray telescopes. Using 7.6 yr of Fermi Large Area Telescope (Fermi–LAT) observations, we make a detailed study of the γ-ray emission between 1–100 GeV toward M31's outer halo, with a total field radius of 60° centered at M31, and perform an in-depth analysis of the systematic uncertainties related to the observations. We use the cosmic-ray propagation code GALPROP to construct specialized interstellar emission models to characterize the foreground γ-ray emission from the MW, including a self-consistent determination of the isotropic component. We find evidence for an extended excess that appears to be distinct from the conventional MW foreground, having a total radial extension upward of ∼120–200 kpc from the center of M31. We discuss plausible interpretations of the excess emission, but emphasize that uncertainties in the MW foreground—and in particular, modeling of the H i-related components—have not been fully explored and may impact the results.
Dissecting a Disk-instability Outburst in a Symbiotic Star: NuSTAR and Swift Observations of T Coronae Borealis during the Rise to the “Superactive” State
Authors: Luna G. J. M. , Nelson T. , Mukai K. , Sokoloski J. L.
Published: July 2019

The current superactive state of the recurrent nova T Coronae Borealis (T CrB) has been observed with unprecedented detail. Previously published observations provide strong evidence that this state is due to an enhancement of the flow of material through the accretion disk, which increased the optical depth of its most internal region, the boundary layer. NuSTAR and Swift observed T CrB in 2015 September, roughly halfway through the rise to optical maximum. In our analysis of these data, we have found that: (i) the UV emission, as observed with Swift/UVOT in 2015, was already as bright as it became in 2017, after the optical peak; (ii) the soft X-ray emission (E ≲ 0.6 keV) observed in 2017 after the optical peak, on the other hand, had not yet developed during the rising phase in 2015; (iii) the hard X-ray emitting plasma (E ≳ 2 keV) had the same temperature and about half the flux of that observed during quiescence in 2006. This phenomenology is akin to that observed during dwarf novae in outburst, but with the changes in the spectral energy distribution happening on a far longer timescale.
Measuring Supermassive Black Hole Masses: Correlation between the Redshifts of the Fe iii UV Lines and the Widths of Broad Emission Lines
Authors: Mediavilla E. , Jiménez-vicente J. , Mejía-restrepo J. , Motta V. , Falco E. , Muñoz J. A. , Fian C. , Guerras E.
Published: July 2019

We test the recently proposed black hole mass scaling relationship based on the redshift with respect to the quasar's rest frame of the Fe iii
λλ2039-2113 line blend. To this end, we fit this feature in the spectra of a well suited sample of quasars, observed with X-shooter at the Very Large Telescope, whose masses have been independently estimated using the virial theorem. For the quasars of this sample we consistently confirm the redshift of the Fe iii
λλ2039-2113 blend and find that it correlates with the squared widths of Hβ, Hα, and Mg ii, which are commonly used as a measure of M
BH/R to determine masses from the virial theorem. The average differences between virial and Fe iii
λλ2039-2113 redshift-based masses are 0.18 ± 0.21 dex, 0.18 ± 0.22 dex, and 0.14 ± 0.21 dex, when the full widths at half maximum (FWHMs) of the Hβ, Hα, and Mg ii lines are, respectively, used. The difference is reduced to 0.10 ± 0.16 dex when the standard deviation, σ, of the Mg ii line is used instead. We also study the high signal-to-noise ratio composite quasar spectra of the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey, finding that the Fe iii
λλ2039-2113 redshifts and Mg ii squared widths,

, match very well the correlation found for the individual quasar spectra observed with X-shooter. This correlation is expected if the redshift is gravitational.

Published: July 2019

We present spatially resolved stellar kinematics of the well-studied ultra-diffuse galaxy (UDG) Dragonfly 44, as determined from 25.3 hr of observations with the Keck Cosmic Web Imager. The luminosity-weighted dispersion within the half-light radius is

km s−1, lower than what we had inferred before from a DEIMOS spectrum in the Hα region. There is no evidence for rotation, with

(90% confidence) along the major axis, in possible conflict with models where UDGs are the high-spin tail of the normal dwarf galaxy distribution. The spatially averaged line profile is more peaked than a Gaussian, with Gauss–Hermite coefficient h
4 = 0.13 ± 0.05. The mass-to-light ratio (M/L) within the effective radius is

M
⊙/L
⊙, similar to other UDGs and higher by a factor of six than smaller galaxies of the same luminosity. This difference between UDGs and other galaxies is, however, sensitive to the aperture that is used, and it is much reduced when the M/L ratios are measured within a fixed radius of 10 kpc. Dragonfly 44 has a rising velocity dispersion profile, from

km s−1 at R = 0.2 kpc to

km s−1 at R = 5.1 kpc. The profile can only be fit with a cuspy Navarro–Frenk–White profile if the orbital distribution has strong tangential anisotropy, with

. An alternative explanation is that the dark matter profile has a core: a Di Cintio et al. density profile with a mass-dependent core provides a very good fit to the kinematics for a halo mass of

and

, i.e., isotropic orbits. This model predicts a slight positive kurtosis, in qualitative agreement with the measured h
4 parameter. UDGs such as Dragonfly 44 are dark matter dominated even in their centers and can constrain the properties of dark matter in a regime where baryons usually dominate the kinematics: small spatial scales in massive halos. In a companion paper we provide constraints on the axion mass in the context of “fuzzy” dark matter models.
Sampling event dataset on five-year observations of macrofungi fruit bodies in raised bogs, Western Siberia, Russia
Authors: Filippova Nina , Lapshina Elena
Published: July 2019

The data paper includes the results of a long-term monitoring programme for macrofungi fruiting using permanent plots located in the raised bog ecosystem in central part of Western Siberia (nearby Khanty-Mansiysk), Russia. The goal of the project was to describe the quantitative and qualitative structure and spatial variation of the community of macromycetes, to follow its dynamics seasonally and inter-annually and also elucidate the relationship between the fruiting and climate variables. A total of 263 circular 5 m2 subplots (for a total area of 1,315 m2) were inspected weekly during vegetation seasons 2014-2018 and carpophores of different fungal taxa were counted. The resulting sampling-event dataset includes 16,569 of plot-based observations (= sampling events) with corresponding 6,011 occurrence records of macromycetes identified to species or genus level. In total, 69 species were revealed during the study. About 80% of plot-based observations contain zero records and mark absence of visible fruiting bodies in a certain plot and time.

This is the first sampling-event dataset on plot-based observations of macrofungi published in GBIF and the first long-term series of macrofungi monitoring in a raised bog ecosystem accomplished in Western Siberia. The aim of the data paper publication was to provide the description and the link to the published data in the format of a peer-reviewed journal paper and to provide recognition for the effort by means of a scholarly article (based on Data paper definition published at https://www.gbif.org/en/data-papers).
Assessment of the quality of accession describing metadata on plant genetic resources
Authors: Oppermann Markus , Weise Stephan
Published: July 2019

In the wide-ranging field of biodiversity conservation, genebanks play a major role in the preservation of cultivated plants. An important focus of genebanks is the comprehensive documentation of the maintained material. This is a prerequisite to enable users to select the most suitable material for e.g. research or breeding programs (Hoisington et al. 1999). The German Federal ex situ Genebank for Agricultural and Horticultural Crops, which is being hosted at IPK, is the largest genebank in Western Europe.

Within the multitude of data associated with plant material (e.g. from various -omics areas or conservation management), the so-called passport data represent the most original and oldest data in genebanks. These metadata are often subject to heterogeneity due to historically different collection and curation, especially if they were received from different institutions around the world. This leads to difficulties in handling these data and can result in misinterpretations. In addition, there are correlations between the individual attributes of the passport data which can lead to a different importance of the individual data points for the users.

Major challenges for users are to estimate completeness, correctness and reliability of these data. Thus, it is necessary to assess the quality of these data by defining a suitable set of metrics. Unfortunately, classical data quality measurement metrics, e.g. (Klier 2008), are not sufficient to fulfill the users' needs. Depending on the intention of the user, a different focus is placed on the data. Moreover, the individual attributes of the respective areas can be related to each other. Therefore, a single index value for estimating the quality of a passport record is not sufficient. Rather, it seems to be more promising to generate more differentiated quality statements.

We are working on a metrics system that is sensitive to the users' focus. Through a practical set of rules of data quality metrics for accession-related data, the user will be able to influence the weighting of individual domains (e.g. geographical origin, biological status) according to their context (fit-for-use index).

The presentation will discuss the background and will give an overview of the progress of this research activity.
Operationalizing Plant Traits
Authors: Kattge Jens
Published: July 2019

Plant traits – the morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological characteristics of plants and their organs – determine how primary producers respond to environmental factors, affect other trophic levels, influence ecosystem processes and services and provide a link from species richness to ecosystem functional diversity. Trait data thus represent the raw material for a wide range of research from evolutionary biology, community and functional ecology to biogeography. The importance of these topics dictates the urgent need for more and better data and improved data availability and applicability, however, producing larger datasets that allow for more powerful, synthetic analyses increasingly relies on the integration of small, focused studies. Operationalizing plant functional traits has therefore been identified a key issue in plant and vegetation ecology.

In 2007 the International Geosphere Bbiosphere Program (IGBP) and DIVERSITAS (together now Future Earth) initiated a global database of plant traits to make the data available for trait-based approaches in ecology and vegetation modelling. This was the start of the TRY initiative (https://www.try-db.org).

In 2019 the TRY database contains about 12 million trait records for more than 300,000 plant taxa and 2000 traits. The data are publicly available under a CC BY license and so far contributed to more than 200 scientific publications.

Based on experience in this bottom-up exercise, my presentation will provide a subjective view on what has been essential to make progress towards operationalizing plant traits and how far the plant trait community has progressed.

Supporting renewable energy is a key policy direction for the EU to lower its contributions to climate change. However, renewable energy technologies have diverse effects on the environment and on society. These effects can be considered a complex system of interacting elements and are challenging to assess. Conceptual models are a way of synthesizing this information to obtain an overview of the system and essential insights. We present the results of an activity to assess the impacts of EU renewable energy policies on overseas biodiversity and the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This was carried out as part of the EKLIPSE (EKLIPSE (Establishing a European Knowledge and Learning Mechanism to Improve the Policy-Science-Society Interface on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services) mechanism to synthesise environmental knowledge in response to specific requests by decision-makers at the European level. We carried out a participatory process to collate expert knowledge into a conceptual model using a Fuzzy Cognitive Mapping Approach (Özesmi and Özesmi 2004), with the Mental Modeler software for mapping (Gray et al. 2013). The participants were guided to connect significant EU policies associated with renewable energy, the technologies they support, and known impacts of these technologies on biodiversity and the SDGs, drawing on a preliminary review of the literature. The individual models obtained were integrated into a single model (see Suppl. material 1 for images). This was then subject to network analysis, which reveals the collective effects of different renewable energy technologies (RETs) on the wider socioecological system. Our findings highlight that RETs have complex and at times disparate effects on biodiversity and the SDGs, acting through a variety of mediating processes. They benefit the SDGs on balance, particularly climate-related SDGs. Mitigation of biodiversity impacts remains a concern, and processes such as habitat change were found to be influential here. Our results suggest that policymakers must focus on implementing appropriate environmental impact assessments, guided by these mediating processes. This would minimize any negative environmental impacts of RETs, while maximizing the benefits.
Eaten or beaten? Severe population decline of the invasive lizard Podarcis siculus (Rafinesque-Schmaltz, 1810) after an eradication project in Athens, Greece
Authors: Adamopoulou Chloe , Pafilis Panayiotis
Published: July 2019

Invasive species have been recognised as an important hazard to native communities. Amongst the mitigation measures that have been proposed to confront biological invasions, eradication projects are certainly the most drastic. In this short communication, a successful eradication project against a recently established population of the Italian wall lizard (Podarcissiculus) in Athens, Greece, is reported. To this aim, the Hellenic Herpetological Society received unforeseen aid from stray cats and, possibly, from the Οcellated skink (Chalcidesocellatus) and vegetation growth. Within three years, the initial thriving P.siculus population has shrunk to very few individuals.

A revision of Agonopterix lacteella (Lepidoptera: Depressariidae) and establishing A. pallidior Stringer, 1930 as a junior synonym
Authors: Stănescu Mihai , Buchner Peter
Published: July 2019

Agonopterix lacteella (Caradja, 1920) was described on the basis of a single female specimen collected at Kasakewitsch, Russian Far East. Later on, A. pallidior (Stringer, 1930) was described, based on 6 specimens from Japan. Both descriptions where based only on the external appearance and published without illustrations, making subsequent accurate identification of both these species difficult. A subsequent comparison of A. lacteella holotype with the type series of A. pallidior revealed a perfect match. However, since the holotype of A. pallidior is a male whilst A. lacteella’s holotype is a female, a revision based on a direct comparison of the genitalia features of these two types is not possible. Hence, the female genitalia of A. lacteella holotype was compared with the genitalia of a female specimen identified as A. pallidior. A perfect match was found, which leaves no doubt that both taxa are conspecific. Details and consequences of this result for the systematic position of these two taxa, as well as for their relationship with other similar, cognate species are presented. In addition, new data regarding the distribution and biology of A. lacteella are presented.
The distribution and behaviour studies on a new invasive Buprestid species (Lamprodila (Palmar) festiva festiva (Linnaeus, 1767), (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) in Romania
Authors: Ruicanescu Adrian , Stoica Adrian
Published: July 2019

The Cypress Jewel Beetle (Lamprodila (Palmar) festiva subsp. festiva (Linnaeus 1767)), is a formerly rare and protected species, present in the red lists of most Western European countries. In Romania, before 2015 it was present only in the South-Western region and less than 10 specimens were collected. The species recently changed its host plants from wild Cupressaceae (Juniperus sp., Cupressus sp.) to cultivated Cupressaceae, the most affected one being Thuja occidentalis. In 2013 the first big invasion was recorded in Budapest, Hungary. In 2015, the species was found in two horticultural seedling stations in Bucharest. More recently, in 2017, it was recorded in Cluj-Napoca, and in 2018, in Timișoara, Oradea, Suceava. The article provides a short description of the adults, larva and the signs of the attacks on the host plants. The potential distribution of the species is discussed based on climate niche modelling. The daily behaviour of the adults and their preferences, based on observations, is also discussed. Equally, the bioethics related to this attack is analysed.

Braconid parasitoids reared from Malussieversii and Malusdomestica trees in NW China infested by Agrilusmali Matsumura (Coleoptera, Buprestidae) are illustrated and discussed. Six species were found parasitising Agrilusmali in NW China, namely, Atanycolusivanowi (Kokujev) (Braconinae), Doryctesundulatus (Ratzeburg), Pareucorystesvarinervis Tobias, Polystenusrugosus Foerster, Spathiussinicus Chao, and Spathiusbrevicaudis Ratzeburg (Doryctinae). All listed species are newly recorded parasitoids of Agrilusmali. Pareucorystesvarinervis and Spathiusbrevicaudis are new records for the Chinese fauna, but Spathiusbrevicaudis has been recorded from Taiwan before. Both sexes of Spathiusbrevicaudis are redescribed here to allow inclusion in the recent revision of the Chinese Spathius species. An identification key to the six braconid parasitoids of Agrilusmali in NW China is provided.

Cet article présente une réforme radicale et progressive de politique publique. Utilisant le process-tracing comme méthode d’enquête, la recherche montre comment la légalisation du cannabis médicinal en Colombie gagne le soutien et la confiance du système international de contrôle des drogues, tout en renouvelant l’approche du pays à l’égard de ces substances : pour la première fois dans l’histoire de la Colombie, la production d’une drogue est considérée comme un avantage sanitaire, économique et social. L’accent mis sur le processus de décision permet de voir que sur le sujet de la politique des drogues, la continuité et le changement se combinent à différents moments grâce à la « découverte » du potentiel médicinal du cannabis, la « redécouverte » du système international de contrôle des drogues, et l’inscription de la politique publique dans une vision de développement des zones périphériques.
An Improved Genetic Algorithm for Solving Multi Depot Vehicle Routing Problems
Authors: Singh Varimna , Ganapathy L. , Pundir Ashok K.
Published: July 2019

The classical Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) tries to minimise the cost of dispatching goods from depots to customers using vehicles with limited carrying capacity. As a generalisation of the TSP, the problem is known to be NP-hard and several authors have proposed heuristics and meta-heuristics for obtaining good solutions. The authors present genetic algorithm-based approaches for solving the problem and compare the results with available results from other papers, in particular, the hybrid clustering based genetic algorithm. The authors find that the proposed methods give encouraging results on all these instances. The approach can be extended to solve multi depot VRPs with heterogeneous fleet of vehicles.
Energy-Efficient Green Vehicle Routing Problem

The greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector are one of the major contributors to global warming today. Freight share to GHG emissions is likely to increase 2-fold by 2050. This makes it critical for CO2 emissions to be reduced through an optimized transportation strategy. Vehicle routing, when done efficiently, can reduce these emissions across countries. In this attempt, the traditional distance minimization objective of the vehicle routing problem has been replaced with an energy-emission-centric objective. A model is formulated taking energy and emissions into simultaneous consideration and a typical VRP problem has been evaluated using a genetic algorithm. The application of the proposed model is observed to reduce emissions significantly compared to conventional models. Considering the possibility of increase in carbon tax in future, energy-emission minimized routing would not only aid “green logistics,” but also reduce the environmental costs incurred.
Key Risks and Challenges During Modern Building Designs in the Construction Industry
Authors: Galli Brian J. , Alsulaimani Mahmoud Ali
Published: July 2019

Although the field of project management has undergone significant improvement, new challenges often make it hard for project managers to meet expectations when planning modern building designs. This article traces such challenges that the project manager must face during modern building projects, as modern building designs are complex and much riskier than traditional ones. Project managers can face different challenges throughout a project, such as a project complexity, a lack of communication, and changes in planning. These risks were studied using a risk matrix, and solutions were provided. The most dominated solution was mitigation, which illustrates that avoiding a risk entirely is highly unlikely. There are specific methods of mitigation based on the given risks, and applying these solutions can help to complete a project on time and to stay within the budget.
