Computerized Learning Is a Building Block But We Still Have Far to Go
Authors: Richter Joel E.
Published: July 2020

High-resolution manometry has revolutionized the diagnosis and treatment of esophageal motility disorders. The color plots are consistent with the visual pattern recognition that makes up much of our endoscopic training in gastroenterology. Computerized learning is an important addition to teaching this skill, especially because most gastroenterology training programs offer meager motility expertise and experience. However, it is just a basic building block for the development of young esophageal and motility experts. It is a good beginning, but the trainee needs a thorough understanding of the limitations of HRM, the important role of other esophageal function tests, and how best to incorporate these tests into a multidiscipline care plan for patients. The best approach is not technology alone but how it is applied by a master clinician in a busy esophageal center of excellence.
Herodotus’ awareness of the Peloponnesian War
Authors: Occhipinti Egidia
Published: July 2020

This article aims to discuss the relationship between Herodotus and Thucydides. New scholarly trends date the composition of Herodotus’Historiesto 413 BC, or even later, against high chronology of 431, and suggest Herodotus’ use of Thucydides’ narrative. Herodotus’ debt to Thucydides has been suggested by scholars either cautiously or boldly. This examination will show cases where Herodotus is alluding to events of the Peloponnesian War or even responding to Thucydides’ narrative. In fact, anachronisms, presentisms, and allusions to Thucydides’ text can be found throughout Herodotus’ narrative. We will explore the reasons for Herodotus’ engaging with the events of that War, conjecturing about his goals: attracting the interest of his audience, or providing a warning to his contemporaries; moreover, it is important to understand whether this engagement was just coincidental.
Hyper-Past Evils: A Reply to Bogdan V. Faul
Authors: Goldschmidt Tyron , Lebens Samuel
Published: July 2020

A reply to Bogdan V. Faul’s “Can God Promise Us a New Past? A Response to Lebens and Goldschmidt.” In this reply we clarify why it is that we regard a scene-changing theory of time to be an improvement over presentism from a theological point of view. We present two benefits: a scene changing theory allows God (1) to improve the past and it allows him (2) to give free will to human beings whilst ensuring that they hyper-will never have misused it. More generally, the scene-changing theory when compared to presentism has the more compelling account of the badness of past evils.
Mobilität 4.0 im Tourismus – Entwicklungen, Wirkungen und Herausforderungen aus Destinationsperspektive
Authors: Bauder Michael
Published: July 2020

Der Begriff Mobilität 4.0 erhält zunehmend Einzug in wissenschaftliche und gesellschaftliche Diskussionen um die Digitalisierung des Verkehrs. Der Begriff beschreibt in Anlehnung an die Terminologie Industrie 4.0 eine Revolution der Mobilität auf Basis des Internets der Dinge und cyber-physischer Systeme. Mobilität 4.0 zeichnet sich demnach durch eine autonome Steuerung von Prozessen über künstliche Intelligenz zur Gestaltung eines Optimums an Flexibilität und Wirtschaftlichkeit bei maximaler Effizient aus. Über eine gestiegene Vernetzung, Datenverfügbarkeit und Schnittstellenschaffung werden Effizienz und Nachhaltigkeit der Mobilität optimiert, sowie eine höchstmögliche Individualisierung und Personalisierung geschaffen. Dies stellt Städte und damit auch städtetouristische Destinationen vor neue Herausforderungen in der Planung und Ausgestaltung entsprechender Angebote. Bei der Analyse der übernachtungsstärksten Großstädte Deutschland wird ersichtlich, dass die Thematik – wenn überhaupt – in einem eher rudimentären, populärwissenschaftlichen Verständnis behandelt wird. In Gegenüberstellung zur European Capital of Smart Tourism 2019, Helsinki, werden die Herausforderungen deutlich, die die untersuchten Städte zur erfolgreichen Integration eines Mobilität 4.0-Konzepts in die jeweilige Tourismusstrategie noch vor sich haben: Vor allem die von Helsinki selbst als Ausgangspunkt zur Umsetzung einer Mobilität 4.0 betrachtete Schaffung einer offenen Datenhaltung sowie der Bereitstellung von vielfältigen Schnittstellen fehlt bislang.
Overtourism im Spannungsverhältnis zwischen Akzeptanz und Aversion
Authors: Bauer Alfred , Gardini Marco A. , Skock André
Published: July 2020

Was ist unter dem Begriff Overtourism zu verstehen? Welche Dimensionen, Indikatoren und Kriterien sind von Relevanz, um dieses touristische Phänomen adäquat zu beschreiben? Klingen diese Fragen auf den ersten Blick nach einer sehr theoretischen Betrachtungsperspektive, sind sie dennoch für die Zukunft des Tourismus von enormer praktischer Bedeutung, ist doch die originäre Erfassung und Vermessung der thematischen Variationsbreite des Phänomens Overtourism gleichermaßen sowohl für die Theorie als auch für die Praxis existenziell, um den diesbezüglichen Herausforderungen für die Tourismuswirtschaft entgegentreten zu können. Um eine Antwort auf die Wahrnehmung und Behandlung sozioökonomischer Konflikte in touristischen Zielgebieten geben zu können, ist denn auch ein grundlegendes Themen- und Problemverständnis vonnöten, um im Spannungsverhältnis zwischen Akzeptanz und Aversion, die facettenreichen Wirkungen und Effekte des Overtourism auf alle beteiligten Stakeholder besser verstehen und entsprechende Maßnahmen sowie Handlungsempfehlungen entwickeln zu können. Der vorliegende Beitrag soll im Zuge einer deskriptiv-explorativen Herangehensweise und der Vorstellung einer Fallstudie mehr Klarheit über die Phänomenologie und die damit verbundenen Forschungs- und Untersuchungsperspektiven im aktuellen Overtourism-Diskurs liefern.

Published: July 2020

Bis[bis(dibutylamino)methylen]hydrazine 8 is prepared from N,N,N′,N′-tetrabutylchloroformamidinium chloride (4c) and hydrazine. Bromine transforms 8 to the heterocyclic guanidinium salt 15a which is isolated as tetraphenylborate. From N,N,N′,N′-tetraalkylchloroformamidiniumchlorides and ethylendiamine the diguanidines are prepared which are alkylated to give diguanidinium salts, From these salts guanidinium salts can be prepared by anion metathesis with tetraphenylborate-, iodide-, hexafluorphosphate-, trifluoromethansulfonat-, bis(trifluormethansulfonyl)imide and tricyanmethanide as counteranions. The structure of the compounds 15 and 17b is confirmed by crystal structure analyses.

Das Präsens im Tigre
Authors: Voigt Rainer
Published: July 2020

In the grammatical descriptions of Tigre it is usual to quote the 3rd masc. sg. and pl. and the 3rd fem. pl. with word-initial lǝ- (e.g. 3rd masc. sg. lǝqannǝṣ ‘he gets up’, Raz 1983) where it is generally remarked upon that there is an “optional use of prefixes in the imperfect”. In the light of older grammars and especially based on recent relevant analyses of modern Tigre texts, it is qannǝṣ which should be considered as the normal form, unless the conjunction ʾǝt precedes. The elision of elements other than lǝ- is rarely documented. Verbs with laryngeals show some peculiarities.

Eine weitere arabische Inschrift von der osttigrayischen Handelsroute: Hinweis auf eine muslimische Kultstätte in der "dunklen Periode"?
Authors: Smidt Wolbert G.C.
Published: July 2020

This article discusses a fragmented Arabic inscription, which is kept in the rock-hewn church of Č̣ärqos Wǝq̠ro in eastern Tǝgray. The text could be read as one of the 99 names of God or an invocation of God. A stylistic comparison with Arabic inscriptions of eastern Tǝgray, Dahlak and other areas suggests that it was not produced locally, but rather imported, and dates to the 9th to 10th century approximately. It is thus one of the earliest witnesses for the presence of Muslims in Tǝgray in the “dark period” after the decline of Aksum. Style and content show that the inscription did not belong to a funeral complex, but rather to a place of worship. Its location points to a connection with nearby Nägaš, where Muslims revere the holy grave of the naǧāšī of the Ḥadīṯ, and which is located on the same route as Wǝq̠ro connecting the area with the Red Sea.
Das Ablautsystem des B- und D-Typs im Harari und Ostgurage
Authors: Wagner Ewald
Published: July 2020

The verbal system of the East Gurage-Harari-Group inside the southern Ethio-Semitic languages, underwent a special development: The lengthening of the second consonant, the characteristic feature of B-type verbs in the other Semitic languages, totally got lost. The consequence was, that the palatal vowel, which we find already in the Gǝʿǝz imperfect yǝfeṣṣǝm, became the only characteristic of the B-type. It spread over all three verbal forms (perfect, imperfect, jussive) and formed a system of ablaut between ē and ī (and in analogy to that, between ō and ū in the D-type). This however, happened in different ways in the three languages: Silṭe, Harari und Zāy. The article tries to explain how the ablaut systems of the three languages came into being.

Zu den mit ሰ (sägäd) gebildeten Namen äthiopischer Kaiser sowie anderer hoher Würdenträger des Reiches
Authors: Kleiner Michael
Published: July 2020

From Lǝbnä Dǝngǝl (1508–40) to Ǝgwalä Ṣǝyon / Gwalu (1801–18), most Solomonic monarchs in addition to their baptismal name also bore a regnal name (sǝmä mängǝśt) of the structure “noun + sägäd”. In Ethiopian Studies, sägäd of these names has traditionally been interpreted as an apocopated form of sägädä, ‘to prostrate oneself, to show submission’. In his 1988 edition of Die Geschichte des Lebna-Dengel, Claudius und Minās, however, Manfred Kropp challenged this view. Starting out by arguing that with names such as Bǝrhan Sägäd and Mäsiḥ Sägäd a traditionally understood sägäd would lead to inacceptable results, Kropp through a number of steps came to the conclusion that sägäd should best be seen as an adjective and be translated as ‘venerable’, an interpretation already once forwarded by Ludolf. The present article examines Kropp’s argument in detail, and concludes that it should be rejected. Conversely, it undertakes to demonstrate in a variety of ways, including the presentation of fresh evidence from Gǝʿǝz literature, that the traditional understanding of sägäd should – and can – be retained. In the process it also shows how this traditional understanding can be reconciled with names such as Bǝrhan Sägäd and, especially, Mäsiḥ Sägäd. In addition, the article proposes a new interpretation of the female regnal names formed with mogäsa in the position of male sägäd.

Verbindungen der Familie Ustinov nach Äthiopien
Authors: Smidt Wolbert G.C.
Published: July 2020

An analysis of the Ustinov-Hall family networks in respect to Ethiopia shows a surprisingly intense involvement of family members in Ethiopian history, beginning with a German immigrant to Ethiopia during the zämänä mäsafǝnt until the late Ḫaylä Śǝllase’s government. In this article not only the factual involvement of family members is documented. Even more important, the impact of inter-cultural, inter-national origins on the creation of a genealogically based network of individuals ready to serve as cultural “bridges”, or better: practical intermediaries between two cultural spheres, is illustrated with these examples. The reconstruction of the genealogical origins of the family-network in a Šäwan (leading?) family gives occasion for the discussion and clarification of transliteration problems, traditions of name-giving and traditions of (originally oral) genealogical historiography.
Contemporary and Historical Muslim Scholars as Portrayed by the Ethiopian Islamic Press in the 1990’s
Authors: Gori Alessandro
Published: July 2020

The article aims at giving some information about Ethiopian Muslim scholars of the past century, so to enhance our general knowledge of Ethiopian Islam, and, moreover, to contribute to a better prosopographical understanding of the Muslim presence in Ethiopia. In this endeavour, it explores the data scattered in Ethiopian Islamic periodical press, which flourished in that country after the fall of the Derg regime in 1991. In particular, the monthly magazine Bilal, which contains in almost every issue a biographical note devoted to some learned man of the recent past, is used to collect material on the scholars. Biographical articles in Amharic and Arabic which appeared in the magazine are summarized and commented upon.
Maḫbär et sänbäte: associations religieuses en Ethiopie
Authors: Ancel Stéphane
Published: July 2020

Faithful of the Ethiopian Orthodox Täwaḥǝdo Church gather sometimes into a religious association. We can distinguish two types of religious associations: the maḫbär and the sänbäte. These two types are organized on the same scheme and are led by the faithful themselves. Both are based on a fundamental concept, which is to gather faithful around a banquet for a commemoration. Maḫbär and sänbäte are a representation of a zǝkǝr, a crucial concept in the Ethiopian Christianity. The religious authority is shared by one priest who leads the liturgy of the ritual. The presence of a priest without an organizational role highlights the influence of the laymen to organize their own religious life outwards the cast-iron ecclesiastical organisation. The social and religious influence of these organizations is very important in towns and in the countryside. To be member of these associations is a sign of an important social status in the parish community and the reality of both maḫbär and sänbäte shows the existence of a way of dialogue between the Church and the faithful.

Experimental procedures for the mechanical characterization of composite reinforced mortar (CRM) systems for retrofitting of masonry structures
Authors: D’Antino Tommaso , Calabrese Angelo Savio , Poggi Carlo
Published: July 2020

Fiber-reinforced composites can be arranged in the form of bi-dimensional grids and employed as internal reinforcement of mortar plasters to realize composite reinforced mortar (CRM) systems. Recently, CRM were applied as externally bonded reinforcement of existing masonry members showing promising improvements of load-carrying and deformation capacities. However, since CRM systems are still in their infancy, limited research is available regarding their mechanical properties and their bond behavior with respect to masonry substrates. In this paper, a series of experimental tests are performed on a CRM system comprising a glass fiber-reinforced composite grid and a lime-based matrix. Namely, tensile tests of bare grid yarns and of CRM coupons, shear tests of grid joints, and single-lap direct shear tests of CRM-masonry joints were performed. These tests are aimed at providing a comprehensive mechanical characterization of the CRM, which results can be used to design strengthening applications with this system. Namely, the tensile properties of bare grid yarns in warp and weft direction are obtained and compared with those of CRM coupons tested following the indications of the Italian and U.S. acceptance criteria for inorganic-matrix composites. Furthermore, the grid joints are subjected to shear tests to determine if the yarns orthogonal to the applied load direction provide a contribution to the system load-carrying capacity. Finally, CRM-masonry joints are subjected to single-lap direct shear tests to study the CRM bond behavior. This work provides an insight on the behavior of CRM that can be useful to formulate reliable design procedures for these systems.

Significance Statement

Centers have reported a wide range of AKI incidence rates among patients hospitalized with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). In a retrospective observational study, the authors compared the incidence, risk factors, and outcomes of AKI in hospitalized adults with and without COVID-19 in a large New York City health system. Compared with patients without COVID-19 and with historical controls, patients with COVID-19 had a significantly higher incidence of AKI; were more likely to require RRT, intensive care unit admission, and mechanical ventilation; and were more likely to experience in-hospital death. Male sex, Black race, and older age were associated with AKI, but these associations were not unique to COVID-19. Select initial vital signs at hospital admission and inflammatory markers were predictors of severe AKI.

Background

Reports from centers treating patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have noted that such patients frequently develop AKI. However, there have been no direct comparisons of AKI in hospitalized patients with and without COVID-19 that would reveal whether there are aspects of AKI risk, course, and outcomes unique to this infection.

Methods

In a retrospective observational study, we evaluated AKI incidence, risk factors, and outcomes for 3345 adults with COVID-19 and 1265 without COVID-19 who were hospitalized in a large New York City health system and compared them with a historical cohort of 9859 individuals hospitalized a year earlier in the same health system. We also developed a model to identify predictors of stage 2 or 3 AKI in our COVID-19.

Results

We found higher AKI incidence among patients with COVID-19 compared with the historical cohort (56.9% versus 25.1%, respectively). Patients with AKI and COVID-19 were more likely than those without COVID-19 to require RRT and were less likely to recover kidney function. Development of AKI was significantly associated with male sex, Black race, and older age (>50 years). Male sex and age >50 years associated with the composite outcome of RRT or mortality, regardless of COVID-19 status. Factors that were predictive of stage 2 or 3 AKI included initial respiratory rate, white blood cell count, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio, and lactate dehydrogenase level.

Conclusions

Patients hospitalized with COVID-19 had a higher incidence of severe AKI compared with controls. Vital signs at admission and laboratory data may be useful for risk stratification to predict severe AKI. Although male sex, Black race, and older age associated with development of AKI, these associations were not unique to COVID-19.
Review of Machine Learning models for Credit Scoring Analysis
Authors: Rudra Kumar Madapuri , Kumar Gunjan Vinit
Published: July 2020

Introduction:Increase in computing power and the deeper usage of the robust computing systems in the financial system is propelling the business growth, improving the operational efficiency of the financial institutions, and increasing the effectiveness of the transaction processing solutions used by the organizations. Problem:Despite that the financial institutions are relying on the credit scoring patterns for analyzing the credit worthiness of the clients, still there are many factors that are imminent for improvement in the credit score evaluation patterns.  Objective:Machine learning is offering immense potential in Fintech space and determining a personal credit score. Organizations by applying deep learning and machine learning techniques can tap individuals who are not being serviced by traditional financial institutions. Methodology:One of the major insights into the system is that the traditional models of banking intelligence solutions are predominantly the programmed models that can align with the information and banking systems that are used by the banks. But in the case of the machine-learning models that rely on algorithmic systems require more integral computation which is intrinsic.  Results:The test analysis of the proposed machine learning model indicates effective and enhanced analysis process compared to the non-machine learning solutions. The model in terms of using various classifiers indicate potential ways in which the solution can be significant. Conclusion: If the systems can be developed to align with more pragmatic terms for analysis, it can help in improving the process conditions of customer profile analysis, wherein the process models have to be developed for comprehensive analysis and the ones that can make a sustainable solution for the credit system management. Originality:The proposed solution is effective and the one conceptualized to improve the credit scoring system patterns.  Limitations: The model is tested in isolation and not in comparison to any of the existing credit scoring patterns.
The Effect of Blockchain-based Crypto-currency on the Intention to Use A Casino
Authors:   The Tourism Sciences Society Of Korea, Lee Sa-Hee , Yoon Ji-Hwan
Published: July 2020

China occupies over 50% of total bitcoin mining output and ranks no. 1 in the number of tourists to Korea and casino visitors. When it comes to the recent Crypto-currency, casinos overseas already attempted to introduce crypto-currency due to the convenience associated with payment, safety, and quicker money exchange. Accordingly this study was conducted to understand more deeply the decision making process among users when Crypto-currency is introduced into casino. Casino is considered one of the fields in the tourism industry where Crypto-currency’s influence is expected in the future. Specifically using the TAM and TPB combined model. we aimed to identify the process of users’ decision making to use the casino that introduced the Crypto-currency. A total of 315 surveys from Chinese who had experience of visiting casino were used in this study. Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling. As a result of analysis, it appeared that among the variables that constituted the TAM and TPB combined model, individual’s perceived easiness and usefulness toward the casino that introduced the Crypto-currency had a significant impact, which eventually had an impact on the intention to use casino. It also appeared that perceived behavior control had a significant impact on the intention to use casino, but subjective norm did not have a significant impact on the intention to use casino. To successfully introduce Crypto-currency into casinos, there is a need to create an environment for anyone to easily and quickly use the casino. Furthermore establishing the infrastructure considering the subjectivity of users is also needed.
Determinants of Tourism Destination Ranks in Multi-destination Travel - An Application of Anchor-point Theory -
Authors:   The Tourism Sciences Society Of Korea, Park Deuk-Hee , Lee Gye-Hee , Kang Sang-Hoon
Published: July 2020

Tourism has been recognized as a critical power for sound condition of regional economy. It is also essential to understand tourists’ multi-destination travel patterns for vitalizing regional tourism, since tourists tend to visit multi-destinations during their single trip. Applying Anchor-point Theory, this study investigated the determinants related to the ranks in tourism destination hierarchy, which was computed by social network analysis techniques, such as degree centrality. We used raw data of “2016 Korea National Tourism Survey” and “Regional Tourism Competitiveness Model Index,” conducted by Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism of Korea and Korea National Tourism Organization, respectively. Data were analyzed using social network analysis, correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis. Results revealed that Haeundae was the 1st-ranked tourist destination in both in-degree and out-degree networks, and confirmed to be the anchor-point among other tourist destinations. Meanwhile, out of fifteen tourism competitiveness indicators, only the number of tourism accommodations was significantly related to in-degree centrality scores (ranks), while no other indicators showed such relationships. The results hold several theoretical and practical implications regarding travelers’ multi-destination travel behaviors and the relationship between the characteristics of tourism destinations and multi-destination travel of travelers.
Phenotyping 3D coral models in MeshLab v1
Authors: C Million Wyatt , Kenkel Carly
Published: July 2020

This protocol describes the process of phenotyping branching coral using the 3D model editing software, MeshLab. MeshLab is a free, straightforward software to analyze 3D models of corals that is especially useful in its ability to import color from Agisoft Metashape models. This protocol outlines the steps used by the Kenkel lab to noninvasively phenotype Acropora cervicornis colonies for total linear extension (TLE), surface area, volume, and volume of interstitial space. We incorporate Agisoft Metashape markers with our Tomahawk scaling system (see Image Capture Protocol) in our workflow which is useful for scaling and to improve model building. Other scaling objects can be used, however these markers provide a consistent scale that do not obstruct the coral during image capture. MeshLab measurements of TLE have been groundtruthed to field measures of TLE. 3D surface area and volume have not yet been compared to traditional methods of wax dipping, for surface area, and water displacement, for volume. However, in tests with shapes of known dimensions, i.e. cubes, MeshLab produced accurate measures of 3D surface area and volume when compared to calculated surface area and volume. For directions to photograph coral for 3D photogrammetry see our Image Capture Protocol. For a walkthrough and scripts to run Agisoft Metashape on the command line, see https://github.com/wyattmillion/Coral3DPhotogram. These protocols, while created for branching coral, can be applied to 3D models of any coral morphology or any object really. Our goal is to make easy-to-use protocols using accessible softwares in the hopes of creating a standardized method for 3D photogrammetry in coral biology.

PROTOCOL FOR: An optimized procedure for quantitative analysis of mitophagy with the mtKeima system using flow cytometry v1
Authors: J Winsor Nathaniel , A Killackey Samuel , J Philpott Dana , Stephen E Girardin not provided
Published: July 2020

Abstract: Mitophagy is the process by which mitochondria are selectively targeted and removed via autophagic machinery to maintain mitochondrial homeostasis in the cell. Recently, the development of flow cytometry-based assays that utilize the fluorescent mtKeima reporter system have allowed for quantitative assessment of mitophagy at a single cell level. However, clear guidelines for appropriate flow cytometry workflow and downstream analysis are lacking, and studies using flow cytometry in mtKeima-expressing cells often display incorrect and arbitrary binary mitophagic or non-mitophagic cutoffs that prevent proper quantitative analyses. In this paper, we propose a novel method of mtKeima data analysis which preserves subtle differences present within flow cytometry data, in a manner that ensures reproducibility. Methods Summary:When used in conjunction flow cytometry, the fluorescent mtKeima reporter system facilitates the assessment of mitophagy at a single cell level. However, current experimental design and analysis methods inadequately capture biological shifts in measured cell populations. In this report, we propose an outline for the transfection of mtKeima into a cell monolayer, cell preparation and downstream analysis using flow cytometry and associated software, with emphasis on a novel data processing technique.

There are regulations and guidelines for every practice in the world. The absence will lead to anarchy and violations of law in any society. Journalism without professional standards cannot be realised. The art of gathering and dissemination of news can be done by anybody but the key role of the professional can be fulfilled only by people with particular training, skills, and judgment.

This paper intends to look at the practice of professional journalism from the Algerian perspective, highlighting the ethical elements and standards that make journalists professional. By exposing the unprofessional behaviors and violations in media sphere, the extent of compliance with the ethics in Algeria was reflected.

The results of the study prove that the journalists do not reach the professional level as a result of the violations of journalistic standards in Algerian media. The survey showed that the media sphere suffers from a low level of academic standards for journalist practitioners and the lack of training courses. Some articles in media Codes, established by the Algerian political system, are ineffective.

Published: July 2020

Internet of Vehicles (IoV) is viewed as a developing worldview for associated vehicles to trade their data with different vehicles utilizing vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) correspondences by framing a vehicular ad-hoc systems (VANETs), with roadside units utilizing vehicle-to-roadside (V2R) interchanges. Performance of this smart ITS mainly owes to the design of efficient routing protocols in VANETs. Distinct features of VANETs like unsteady connectivity, high mobility and partitioning of the network have made routing of the information in VANETs difficult and challenging, hence dictating the development of efficient routing protocols. The computation of the best route measures the performance of communication whereas routing protocols takes care of communication & routing of the data. Provision of smart communication, necessitates the analysis of routing protocols in VANET. Accordingly in this paper, reviewed various types of existing routing protocols and security approaches in VANET are discussed.

The Longmen Shan fault zone (FZ), which consists of the back-range, the central, and the front-range faults, acts as the boundary between the Sichuan basin and eastern Tibet. In this study, local and teleseismic waveforms recorded by a 2D small aperture seismic array (176 temporary short-period seismometers) deployed by China University of Geosciences (Beijing) from 22 October to 20 November 2017 and a dense linear seismic array of 16 stations deployed by Geophysical Exploration Center, China Earthquake Administration during July 2008 are used to study the FZ structure by analyzing FZ-trapped waves (FZTWs), the radial-to-vertical amplitude ratio, and travel-time delays. Based on power density spectra analysis, FZTWs from local events with larger amplitudes and longer wavetrains are clearly observed at stations 6002–6003, 6013–6025, and W025–W032. The dispersion measured from trapped waves is quite weak. The near-surface shear velocity structure estimated from the radial-to-vertical amplitude ratios of local initial P waves shows a low-velocity zone around the surface rupture trace. The slight time delay of direct P waves examined from local and teleseismic events indicates a relatively shallow slow structure beneath the arrays. Through the comprehensive analysis of the central FZ, our results suggest a shallow low-velocity zone with a width of ∼150–160  m along the surface rupture trace. Moreover, our P-wave receiver functions reveal that the Moho depth beneath the Longmen Shan FZ is approximately 45 km, and receiver functions at stations located within the surface rupture zone show more complicated waveforms than those off the surface rupture.
Fighting Pandemics By Exploiting 5G, AI and Bigdata Enabled Technologies
Authors: Soldani David
Published: July 2020

In context, this paper starts by referencing best practices adopted globally to counteract COVID-19, through such means as testing, tracing, diagnosing and treating infections. It then presents relevant examples demonstrating where 5G, AI and Bigdata technologies have been successfully deployed via policy measures and resulting processes to keep people safe, through physical distancing and various other arrangements to slow and contain the spread of COVID-19. Beyond this, examples of unique 5G characteristics, such as improved throughput, latency and reliability, and 5G resilient network configurations (including all layers and domains supporting standard security and related enhancements) are described in detail. This is followed by illustrating particular opportunities achievable on secure and resilient 5G systems incorporating digital spill-over capability. Beyond this consideration and responding to some unfounded concerns, the paper reaffirms that 5G will not have the negative effect on people’s health about which a few individuals have speculated. Picturing all this together, conclusions are drawn on a possible way forward in which policy makers’ focus can now advance from current Smart City concepts towards a more extensive Smart Society approach.

Published: July 2020

This study was conducted in a deep well simulator used for typical irrigation studies. In this work, the changes in the pump flow rate, drawdown, noise level, and pump pressures were analyzed for three different gravel zone thicknesses used in the well. From the study, it was found that a high gravel zone thickness increased the well’s drawdown levels during pumping. For drawdown values of 40, 45, 50 and 55 m3 h–1, an increase in the gravel thickness by 10 cm increased these values by 2.92, 2.41, 2.38 and 2.37 times, respectively. When the gravel thickness was doubled (from 5 cm to 10 cm), the hydraulic conductivity decreased by about half and head loss doubled. As a result, gravel thickness directly affected the drawdown rate of the pump. It was shown that different drawdown values resulting due to different gravel thicknesses should be taken into consideration when placing the pump in a deep well.

Published: July 2020

Only about 10% of all micro business in Indonesia have been halal certified. This study aims to understand the factors that can encourage these businesses to undertake a halal certification. Of the 30 respondents who have not yet applied for a halal certificate, this study found that halal awareness, halal knowledge, and challenges in obtaining certification do not affect intention. The businesses surveyed knew about and understood the process of halal certification, but this knowledge did not guarantee they would apply. Challenges were also not a barrier of halal certification. However, internal and external pressures – such as the desire to have standardized products, encouragement from government, and consumer expectations of halal products – do foster the intention to gain halal certification. This study concludes by demonstrating the importance of real encouragement and assistance to motivate businesses to obtain halal certification for their products.

Published: July 2020

The purpose of this research is to determine the form of syari’ah economic practices in the Samin tribe’s prespective. This research uses the ethnomethodology approach. The results showed that the local wisdom of the Samin is mutual cooperation, honest, patient, trokal (work), and narimo (sincere). The result also indicates that there are 3 types of social gathering amongst the Samin namely regular social gatherings, mutual cooperation social gatherings and goa social gatherings. In the context of the traditional social gathering, the value of local wisdom “mutual cooperation” is internalized in the activity of savings and loans within the public community. Meanwhile, the value of wisdom honesty is internalized in the accountability of financial records of the social gathering. Implementation of social gathering is can be classified in Islamic economic system which has no system of interest or usury. Social gathering system that exist in Samin tribe is almost the same as the mudhorobah principle in the syariah accounting system

How Education Level and Household Power-RelationAffectWomenEntrepreneurial Intention: Case Study of Micro-Waqf Bank’s Revolving Fund Participants
Authors: Dinar Iskandar Deden
Published: July 2020

This study aims to look at the influence of education level and household power relations on entrepreneurial aspirations in women, using the women participating in the Micro-Waqf Bank (MWB) revolving fund program in Gunung Pati, Central Java as a case study. The study uses primary data obtained from the survey, analysed with descriptive statistical techniques and Two-way ANOVA. The results show that household power-relations significantly influence women’s entrepreneurial ambitions. The greater their power in the household, the higher their entrepreneurial intentions. Meanwhile, the education level does not have a significant effect. The results of this study have important implications for women’s economic empowerment. Every program to increase entrepreneurial intentions and women’s economic empowerment needs to be balanced with social education for households about the importance of giving recognition and appreciation to the woman’srolein house hold decision-making. Adequate room for women to be active in productive economic activities needs to be provided in the household.
