Authors: Kurniawan Dani , Muktiyo Widodo , Wijaya Mahendra
Published: April 2019

The White House under the command of President Donald Trump gave birth to controversy. Trump, for example, restricts Muslim immigrants, orders the construction of walls on the US-Mexico border, seeing global warming as not a sexy issue, until the decision to leave UNESCO. This study aims to compare the framing of the news in the perspective of the application of ideology and political economy to the media. This research is qualitative with the method of analysis of framing Zhongdang Pan and Gerald M. Kosicki. With this approach, researchers will look at domestic and foreign online media. The domestic media chosen is Sindonews and Liputan6. For foreign media, this research will explore framing by Foxnews.com and Aljazeera.com. The results showed Liputan6.com saw Donald Trump as a reflection of a large conspiracy and at the same time a controversial figure, which needed to be reported on the main page. Whereas on Sindonews.com saw that Donald Trump's controversy was not too prominent, so he did not have to be a head line. As for the two well-known foreign media, they reported in the frame of their political economy. The frame worn is the interest of the owner, namely Foxnews.com subject to the power of world media tycoon Rupert Murdoch. Aljazeera.com seems to serve the interests of the Qatar government.

To interact with world using expressions or body movements is comparatively effective than just speaking. Gesture recognition can be a better way to convey meaningful information. Communication through gestures has been widely used by humans to express their thoughts and feelings. Gestures can be performed with any body part like head, face, hands and arms but most predominantly hand is use to perform gestures, Hand Gesture Recognition have been widely accepted for numerous applications such as human computer interactions, robotics, sign language recognition, etc. This paper focuses on bare hand gesture recognition system by proposing a scheme using a database-driven hand gesture recognition based upon skin color model approach and thresholding approach along with an effective template matching with can be effectively used for human robotics applications and similar other applications .Initially, hand region is segmented by applying skin color model in YCbCr color space. Y represents the luminance and Cb and Cr represents chrominance. In the next stage Otsu thresholding is applied to separate foreground and background. Finally, template based matching technique is developed using Principal Component Analysis (PCA), k-nearest neighbour (KNN) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) for recognition. KNN is used for statistical estimation and pattern recognition. SVM can be used for classification or regression problems.

Authors: Martins Gabrieli Branco , Da Hora Senir Santos
Published: April 2019

Introdução: A integralidade da assistência em cuidados paliativos na oncologia pediátrica apresenta desafios na medida em que há pouca oferta desse tipo de cuidado e, principalmente, no que se refere à interlocução de políticas públicas que auxiliem no processo de desospitalização. Objetivos: Identificar e refletir sobre os desafios elencados pela equipe multiprofissional da pediatria oncológica do INCA, que interferem na integralidade da assistência em cuidados paliativos. Método: Pesquisa qualitativa com base na hermenêutica dialética e no referencial teórico marxista com participação de nove profissionais de nível superior da equipe multiprofissional da clínica de pediatria oncológica do INCA. Os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevista, entre agosto e dezembro de 2016. Resultados: Identificaram-se seis categorias empíricas que se apresentam como desafios à integralidade da assistência em cuidados paliativos: dissociação entre cuidado curativo e cuidado paliativo; centralidade da prática médica; organização do serviço; estrutura física e recursos humanos; capacitação em cuidados paliativos; e articulação com a rede de serviços de saúde. Conclusão: A integralidade na assistência em cuidados paliativos na pediatria do INCA constitui-se um grande desafio em consequência da dicotomia entre assistência curativa e paliativa; do persistente modelo hospitalocêntrico, dificultando a desospitalização; da organização da rotina do serviço imprópria à comunicação e troca de saberes entre a equipe multiprofissional; da estrutura física e recursos humanos insuficientes, incluindo a falta de capacitação para essa modalidade de assistência; além da fragmentação da rede de serviços de saúde.

Published: April 2019

This study examines the farmers’ willingness to pay (WTP) in contributing to the Crop Insurance Scheme (CIS) specifically among the paddy farmers in Kedah. The CIS reduces the risk that farmers face in the event of natural disaster such as flooding or crop failure causes from pest attack and crop diseases. In this study, we focus on three selected districts in Kedah. A total of 139 respondents were randomly selected from these areas. The CIS is based on a hypothetical product which contain of three main attributes; (1) type of coverage, (2) sum assured/benefit, (3) and premium payment or the price. Data are obtained by applying Choice Experiment (CE) technique and analyzed with the multinomial logit model (MNL). Two models are presented in this paper namely the basic model and the interaction model. The study shows, among others, that marginal willingness to pay to obtain protection from crop failure amongst the attributes ranges between RM33.69 to RM128.63 per year for the basic model. On the other hand the marginal willingness to pay for the interaction model ranges between RM19.42 to RM73.32.

Authors: Mohd Sani Mohd Azizuddin
Published: April 2019

In Malaysia, Islam is the religion of the Federation, and the Islamic law system runs parallel to the civil law system. This triggers a political debate in defining Malaysia as either an Islamic or a secular state which makes the non-Muslims uneasy. The purpose of this paper is to study about the practices of Islam and religious expression in Malaysia particularly during the era of Najib Razak’s premiership before the regime collapsed on 9 May 2018. It used qualitative method via discourse analysis by assessing the legal documents and political decisions on religious expression and private speech in Malaysia. This includes in-depth expert interview with expert in Malaysian law and government leaders. This paper found that Malaysia is also a multireligious society prone to inter-group conflict. As such, care is taken not to publish articles that cast a slur on any religions in the country. Although the purposes of restriction are for political stability and national security, the ruling government has indeed manipulated the religious expression for political domination and regime security. This paper will definitely give the overview on the situation of Malaysia involving Islam and the limit of religious expression and religious freedom as well.

The Effectiveness of Supervision on Islamic Education (PAI) Teacher's Performance of Junior High School (SMP) in Pangkalpinang
Authors: Mardiyah Sri
Published: April 2019

This paper is based on the many problems that occur in the implementation of the supervision of teaching junior high school Islamic education in the city of Pangkalpinang. Teaching supervision as a form of assistance and guidance to teachers to develop their abilities in the learning process has not been giving a significant impact in improving the quality of Islamic Education (PAI) learning. For this reason, a qualitative descriptive study was conducted on two state junior high schools that had different characters and qualities. Data and information are collected through unstructured interviews, unstructured observation, and documentation. Furthermore, the data is processed and analyzed descriptively through interactively as the Miles and Huberman flow models, namely data reduction, data display, and conclusion. The results of data analysis showed that the supervision of PAI teaching in these two schools was still administrative. As a result, teaching supervision tends to be a mere formality and the basic principles have not been properly implemented. Naturally, the supervision of PAI teaching has not had a significant impact on PAI teachers, both due to supervisory competence and teacher readiness. However, there are also factors that are felt to be quite supportive, such as the commitment of supervisors in the midst of the limited number and desire of teachers to develop. Furthermore, based on the disclosure of facts on this issue, it is expected to be the basis of evaluation and efforts to improve the implementation of teaching supervision in the Junior High School in Pangkalpinang City, especially in Islamic Education Subjects.
THE RECLAIMING CUBAN CULTURAL IDENTITY WHILE LIVING AS A CUBAN DIASPORA IN AMERICA AS DEPICTED IN CAMILA CABELLO “HAVANA”
Authors: Chandra Tan Michael
Published: April 2019

Question of identity remains one of the most important and debatable concept in the world of postcolonial theory especially when it is related to cultural identity of the diaspora. As culture is intertwined with place of origin, diasporic community often experience difficulty to identity themselves as they are located outside their culture of origin.By using Hall’s Cultural Identity, Bhabha’s Hybridity, and Historical Biographical approach, this paper shall dissect such notion of reclaiming the diasporic’s own culture as depicted in Camila Cabello’s most famous song “Havana.” Upon closer scrutiny, what at first glance considered as a simple love song underlines the cultural notion behind it.  As the singer and songwriter is Cuban, Cabello expresses a theme of longing and stake a claim of  Cuban cultural identity in the character of the song despite being offered a life in America. This perspective is highlighted through essay from Cabello herself, which notes the notion of cultural exchange and the life of the immigrants.

This paper is a non-research article which aims at elaborating the relation between teachers’ cultural background and their teaching beliefs. Way of thinking, behaviour, value, tradition, and belief in a society are taken into account as aspects of cultural background in this paper. Meanwhile belief is considered as unchangeable principle set in teachers’ personality which has impact on what they do in the classroom. The red line between cultural background and teachers’ beliefs has positive and negative side. Thus it is important for teachers to rely not only on their belief but also students’ needs and other supporting teaching aspects in order to reach a successful teaching and learning process.

Authors: Eko Djati Setiawati Endang , Hersulastuti Hersulastuti
Published: April 2019

Edgar Allan Poe is the father of horror stories. In his three short stories, Ligiea, the Fall of the house of Usher, The Black Cat, he portrays the image of horror in the form of being buried alive or premature burial, Mental Disorder or Madness or Mentally Ill, and Supernatural. Being buried alive can be seen in The Black Cat as well as in the Fall of the house of Usher. Mentally Ill can be found in the Black Cat and in the Fall of the house of Usher. Meanwhile Supernatural image of horror is reflected in Ligiea and in The Black Cat. Being buried alive is illustrated in the way when The Narrator of the Fall of the House help Roderick Usher entombed his twin sister, while in the Black Cat the Narrator buried his wife in the wall to conceal from the police investigation. Mental Illnesses can be seen in the Black Cat when the Narrator suffers from alcoholic addicted. Roderick Usher the character of The Fall of the house of Usher suffers from not only does he live in fear, but also to have lost all interest in every kind of social contact. Supernatural is portrayed in Ligeia, when the narrator’s wife, Ligiea, dead, she transforms into Lady Rowena, the new wife of the Narrator.

Published: April 2019

One of the key points in numerical simulation of coal-rock cutting by conical picks is to select a proper coal-rock constitutive model. In order to find a reasonable coal-rock constitutive model, a uniaxial compression test was conducted to obtain the constitutive model. The several stages for linear elastic deformation and creep, plastic yielding, hardening, and finally brittle cracking of the constitutive units were studied, and the coal-rock constitutive model was established. As a result, the coal-rock cutting by one conical pick or two conical picks was simulated and the results were compared with coal-rock cutting experiment on a Coal-rock Cutting Machine. According to the simulation and experimental results, it is believed that the numerical simulation can reveal coal-rock crushing process. And the total error rate of coal-rock cutting by one conical pick between the simulation and experiment is 8.5%. The maximum deviation of coal-rock cutting by two conical picks between the simulation and experiment is 9.8%. All simulation values are within a reasonable range. The comparison indicates that the coal-rock constitutive model should better be defined considering the coal-rock crushing process by conical picks.

Authors: Saavedra Casilda , Baran Khrista
Published: April 2019

In recent times, plastic production has increased due to the convenience and multipurpose use. As plastic may make lifeeasier on humans, the amount of plastic debris has increased as well as the effect on marine life. Since it is a relatively new topic,the effects on marine species are trying to be modeled in laboratories and observed in the field. The effects of plastic marine debrisinclude but are not limited to entanglement, ingestion, possible bioaccumulation, chemical exposures, and even death. Larger plasticscan become smaller particles, microplastics, which are difficult to study the effects on marine life due to the small size. Microplasticsare a global issue that effect species. Some of the factors that are considered of why different organisms ingest plastics include:method of feeding, color, age, and accidental/secondary ingestion. The focus of this research article is the ingestion of averagepercentage of microplastics of seabird species compared to other marine species throughout the world.

Efectos y Particularidades del Uso del Mindfulness en el Trastorno Límite de la Personalidad
Authors: Elices Matilde , Carmona Cristina , Martín-Blanco Ana , Pascual Juan Carlos , Soler Joaquín
Published: April 2019

Distintos estudios muestran que los sujetos con trastorno límite de la personalidad (TLP) presentan –respecto a controles sanos– una menor capacidad de mindfulness, entendida como la habilidad para prestar atención al momento presente de forma no-evaluativa y no-reactiva. Parecería ser que estos déficits en la capacidad de mindfulness se relacionan con algunas de las características del trastorno como la disregulación emocional, la impulsividad o las dificultades en el área interpersonal, y que, el hecho de haber sufrido abuso sexual en la infancia también contribuiría a una menor capacidad de mindfulness. Estudios en los que se han evaluado los efectos del entrenamiento en mindfulness en pacientes con TLP sugieren que éste se relaciona con mejorías en algunos parámetros atencionales (i.e., capacidad de inhibir respuestas) y de impulsividad (i.e., habilidad para tolerar recompensas, percepción temporal). Además, la práctica de mindfulness se asocia con un aumento de la capacidad de descentramiento, describir, no-juzgar y no reaccionar, y con una disminución de la sintomatología límite. En conjunto, la literatura actual sugiere que el mindfulness es eficaz para el tratamiento del TLP, y que intervenciones de este tipo deberían hacer especial énfasis en trabajar aspectos actitudinales del mindfulness, como la capacidad de no-juzgar.

Introducción y Objetivos: El trastorno por déficit de atención con hiperactividad (TDAH) es uno de los trastornos del neurodesarrollo más frecuentes en la infancia y a menudo persiste en la edad adulta. Los tratamientos conductuales y farmacológicos constituyen las intervenciones más eficaces. Para paliar algunos de sus déficits ha surgido un interés en nuevos tratamientos. El mindfulness (atención plena) se ha posicionado como una aproximación prometedora para abordar síntomas nucleares del trastorno y otras afecciones relacionadas. El objetivo del presente trabajo es realizar una revisión descriptiva para investigar la evidencia de los tratamientos basados en mindfulness para personas con TDAH.Método: Se realizó una búsqueda en la base de datos electrónica Pubmed, utilizando las palabras clave "mindfulness", "ADHD", "attention deficit disorder with Hyperactivity". Los criterios de inclusión fueron: artículos en inglés que emplearan intervenciones basadas en mindfulness para tratar pacientes (niños y adultos) con TDAH. Siete publicaciones cumplieron los criterios de selección para formar parte de la muestra.Resultados: Se obtuvieron resultados positivos en todos los trabajos en referencia a la disminución de la sintomatología atencional e hiperactiva/impulsiva (en algunos casos reducciones superiores al 30% de los síntomas) medida a través de autoinformes. Los resultados en tareas neuropsicológicas no fueron tan favorables ni consistentes.Discusión: Las intervenciones basadas en mindfulness para tratar pacientes con TDAH han mostrado resultados prometedores. En futuras investigaciones será necesario incorporar mejoras metodológicas; incrementar el tamaño de las muestras, grupos control, evaluaciones clínicas, incluir pruebas neuropsicológicas y examinar los efectos a largo plazo del tratamiento.
Efficiency of CIDR-Based Protocols Including GnRH Instead of eCG for Estrus Synchronization in Sheep
Authors: Martinez-Ros Paula , Gonzalez-Bulnes Antonio
Published: April 2019

The present study examined, for meat sheep (Segureña breed; 2–5-years old, mean body score of 3.5 ± 0.5), the timings of onset of estrus behavior, preovulatory luteinizing hormone (LH) surge and ovulation, and the ovulation rate and fertility obtained after insertion of controlled internal drug release (CIDR) devices for 5 days plus treatment with equine chorionic gonadotrophin (eCG; single dose at CIDR removal, n = 19 ewes) or gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH, either in a single dose at 56 h after CIDR removal, group CIDR-GnRH, n = 19 ewes; or in one dose at CIDR insertion and another dose 56 h after CIDR removal, group GnRH-CIDR-GnRH, n = 19 ewes). In all the ewes, the appearance of estrus behavior ranged between 84% and 90% and all females showing estrus signs had subsequent preovulatory LH peaks and ovulations. Onset of these events was earlier in the CIDR-eCG group than in the CIDR-GnRH and GnRH-CIDR-GnRH groups (p < 0.05). These differences were mainly determined by the onset of estrus behavior, since timing and intervals of LH peak and ovulation were similar among treatments. In fact, the range of ovulations was narrower in the GnRH-CIDR-GnRH group, which suggests better synchronization of follicular growth (p < 0.05). In conclusion, protocols with two doses of GnRH offer similar yields to eCG protocols.

A public safety answering point (PSAP) receives thousands of security alerts and attends a similar number of emergencies every day, and all the information related to those events is saved to be post-processed and scrutinized. Visualization and interpretation of emergency data can provide fundamental feedback to the first-response institutions, to managers planning resource distributions, and to all the instances participating in the emergency-response cycle. This paper develops the application of multiple correspondence analysis (MCA) of emergency responses in a PSAP, with the objective of finding informative relationships among the different categories of registered and attended events. We propose a simple yet statistically meaningful method to scrutinize the variety of events and recorded information in conventional PSAPs. For this purpose, MCA is made on the categorical features of the available report forms, and a statistical description is achieved from it by combining bootstrap resampling and Parzen windowing, in order to provide the user with the most relevant factors, their significance, and a meaningful representation of the event grouping trends in a given database. We analyzed the case of the 911-emergency database from Quito, Ecuador, which includes 1,078,846 events during 2014. Individual analysis of the first-response institutions showed that there are groups with very related categories, whereas their joint analysis showed significant relationships among several types of events. This was the case for fire brigades, military, and municipal services attending large-scale forest fires, where they work in a combined way. Independence could be established among actions in other categories, which was the case for specific police events (as drug selling and distribution) or fire brigades events (as fire threats). We also showed that a very low number of factors can be enough to accurately represent the dynamics of frequent events.

In this paper, an online to offline (O2O) method based on visible light communication (VLC) is proposed, which is different from the traditional VLC with modulation and demodulation. It is a new VLC with modulation and recognition. We use RGB light emitting diode (RGB-LED) as the transmitter, and use Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) to modulate the signal to make it flicker at high frequency. Therefore, several features are created. At the receiver, the complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) image sensor is applied to our system to capture LED images with stripes. A convolution neural network (CNN) is then introduced in our system as a classifier. By offline training for the classifiers and online recognition of LED-ID, the scheme proposed could improve the speed of LED-ID (the unique identification of each different LED) identification and improve the robustness of the system. This is the first application of CNN in the field of VLC.
An Approach to a Clock Offsets Model for Real-Time PPP Time and Frequency Transfer During Data Discontinuity

Published: April 2019

To resolve the dilemma in any post-processing strategy, i.e., the difficulty of monitoring the real-time time and frequency signals in a timely manner, real-time GPS time and the frequency transfer have recently become trending topics. Unfortunately, data interruption occurs when conducting real-time time transfer, sometimes from unexpected reasons. In this study, to ensure the stability and precision of real-time time transfer, an adaptive prediction model and a between-epoch constraint receiver clock model are applied as the mathematic models. The purpose of prediction is to solve the ambiguity from re-convergence when the data reappear. Moreover, compared to the conventional method, the between-epoch constraint receiver clock model is employed in this study to consider the correlation of epoch-wise clock parameters to avoid wasting useful information. The simulation data and real data are compared to verify the performance of the new approach. The simulation data for 165 days are designed with random daily interruptions of 10, 30, 60 and 90 min. Real data from 12 days is captured from the incomplete data in routine observation records. Ignoring the simulation data and real data, the investigation of six stations shows that the results with the between-epoch constraint receiver clock model were smoother than those with a white noise model. With an adaptive prediction model and the between-epoch constraint receiver clock model, the simulation results illustrate that the average root mean squares (RMS) values of all the stations are significantly reduced, i.e., by 66.03% from 0.43 to 0.14 ns, by 64.91% from 0.44 to 0.15 ns, by 57.47% from 0.43 to 0.18 ns, and by 51.67% from 0.44 to 0.21 ns for the 10, 30, 60 and 90 min data interruptions, respectively. The stability of all the stations is improved by at least 50%. The improvement increases to 100% for short-term stability. The real results show that the stability of four links is boosted by at least 5%. The model proposed in this paper is more effective in producing short-term stability than long-term stability.
Theoretical Investigation of a Simple Design of Triple-Band Terahertz Metamaterial Absorber for High-Q Sensing
Authors: Chen Tao , Zhao Runyu , Wang Ben-Xin
Published: April 2019

This paper presents a simple metamaterial design to achieve the triple-band near-perfect absorption response that can be used in the area of sensor application. The introduced absorber consists of an array of Au strip and a bulk flat Au film separated by an insulator dielectric layer. Three narrow-band resonance absorption peaks are obtained by superposing three different modes (a fundamental mode resonance and two high-order responses) of the Au strip. These resonance modes (in particular of the last two modes) have large sensitivity to the changes of the surrounding index, overlayer thickness and the refractive index of the overlayer.
