Authors: Kanagavalli U , Sadiq A. Mohamed
Published: November 2018

Boerhavia diffusa Linn. (Nyctaginaceae), commonly known as ‘Punarnava’ is a perennial creeping herb widely studied and has a long history of uses by the tribal people and in Ayurvedic and Unani medicines. Our previous study showed that in different extracts of Boerhavia diffusa (ethanol, methanol, petroleum ether, aqueous and hexane), methanolic extract had significant anti-oxidant activity, but the active components present in that extracts are still unclear. In this study, Boerhavia diffusa Linn was investigated for the bioactive compounds present in its methanolic extract. Separation and purification of the compounds in the most active methanol extract was done using a combination of column chromatography and thin layer chromatography. The compound was identified using gas chromatography and mass spectrophotometry. The resulted compound anthraquinone which is also called as 9, 10 anthracenedione. In addition to their known use as natural dyes, it have several biological activities like antitumor, antiinflammatory,  diuretic , antiarthritic, antifungal, antibacterial,  antimalarial and antioxidant activities . This justifies the use of this plant in traditional medicine and indicates a promising potential for the development of medicinal agents from Boerhavia diffusa.

Published: November 2018

Perkembangan teknologi membuat kehidupan manusia semakin mudah, termasuk juga dalam hal transportasi. Transportasi berbasis online, meskipun menjadi pilihan bagi masyarakat namun bukan berarti tanpa kendala.  Salah satu kendala yang dihadapi ojek online yaitu lahan parkir untuk menunggu penumpang. Para pengemudi harus mencari tempat - tempat yang ramai yang banyak terdapat mobilitas manusia seperti sekolah, kampus, pusat perbelanjaan, pasar tradisional dan lain lain dimana tempat-tempat tersebut sangat minim lahan untuk parkir, maka yang sering dilakukan oleh para pengemudi ojek online adalah menunggu penumpang secara berkelompok dengan rekan seprofesi dan memakai tempat yang tidak seharusnya untuk berhenti atau parkir. Penelitian ini membahas tentang pola aktifvitas yang dilakukan oleh pengemudi ojek online pada saat menaikkan, menurunkan dan menunggu order penumpang. Penelitian dilakukan untuk mengetahui pola aktivitas berdasarkan waku dan memetakannya sehingga mudah dipahami. Penelitian ini juga membahas kaitan ojek online dengan sisi arsitektural yaitu pengaruh setting fisik lingkungan dengan pola aktifitas ojek online. Pada kesimpulan akan disampaikan poin utama dari penelitian yang dilakukan sehingga dapat menjelaskan secara padat penelitian yang telah dilakukan. The development of technology makes human life easier, including also in terms of transportation. Online-based transportation, although popular in the community but it does not mean without obstacles. One of the obstacles faced by an online motorcycle taxi is parking lot to wait for passengers. Drivers should look for crowded places where there is a lot of human mobility such as schools, campuses, shopping centers, traditional markets and other places where there is very little parking space, so often the drivers of online motorcycle taxi are waiting for passengers in groups and use places that are not supposed to stop or park. This study discusses the pattern of activities conducted by online motorcycle taxi drivers at the time of pick up, lowering and waiting for passenger orders. Research is done to know the pattern of activity based on time and mapping so easily understood. This study also discusses the relationship of online motorcycle taxis with the architectural side that is the effect of physical environment settings with the pattern of online motorcycle taxis activities. At the conclusion will be stated the main points of research conducted so as to explain the solid research that has been done.
Audit Partner Identification and Characteristics: Evidence from U.S. Form AP Filings
Authors: Burke Jenna J. , Hoitash Rani , Hoitash Udi
Published: November 2018

This paper investigates the overall impact of and the information made available by the recent audit partner disclosure requirement in the U.S. After a contentious comment period, the PCAOB released Rule 3211, which requires registered public accounting firms to disclose the name of the audit partner for every audit report it issues. In the first year of adoption, we find a significant increase in audit quality and audit fees and a significant decrease in audit delay. We collect information on partner gender, busyness, education, and social connections to explore whether these newly observable characteristics are associated with audit outcomes. We find that several of these characteristics are associated with variations in audit fees and audit delay, but no evidence of an association with audit quality. Overall, our findings suggest that the disclosure of partner name in Form AP enhances the audit information environment, which supports PCAOB motivation for Rule 3211.

Published: November 2018

Nine isolates of Proteus spp. were isolated from 100 urine samples of renal stone patients which were the urine specimens obtained directly from Sulaimani Teaching Hospital Laboratory, and identified according to the cultural characteristic, morphological, biochemical examination. The antibiotic susceptibility test for all isolates were conducted to nine antimicrobial agents including (Ciprofloxacin (Cip), Tetracycline(TE), Neomycin (N), Gentamicin (CN), Erythromycin (E), Nitrofurantoin (F), Naldixic acid (NA), Imipenem (IPM), Amoxicillin (AX). Plasmid analysis of these isolates showed presence are (22) Kb plasmid. Curing of antibiotic resistance genes by using methanol extracts for leave of Crataegus rhipidophylla  and Adiantum capillus was performed. The minimum inhibitory concentration of these medicinal plants through methanol extracts which were 5000 µg/ml and 1000 µg/ml for Ailanthus altissima and Adiantum capillus respectively. The Sub minimum inhibition concentration (SMIC) was also determined. The results of transformation and curing experiments revealed that SMIC of Ailanthus altissima extract was cured or eliminated plasmid completely, and (SMIC) of Adiantum capillus was cured (CN, E, and AX) resistant genes.
Evaluation of Serum Bilirubin as a Predictive Marker for Simple and Complicated Appendicitis in Sulaimani Emergency Teaching Hospital
Authors: Hama Shareef Seerwan , Ahmed Mohammed Dara , Ameer Ahmed Goran
Published: November 2018

Diagnosis of acute appendicitis can be challenging in some cases as the differentials can be exhaustive. Previous studies have demonstrated that hyperbilirubinemia is a more specific marker for appendicitis than white blood count (WBC) and C-reactive protein (CRP), but this investigation is still not commonly used in the diagnostic workup of appendicitis. This prospective study aims to evaluate serum bilirubin as a laboratory marker for simple and complicated appendicitis. We also investigated the diagnostic value of bilirubin in acute appendicitis and compared it with the WBC. In this prospective study, all patients who underwent appendicectomy at the Sulaimani Emergency Teaching Hospital between 1st November 2016 to 1st January 2017 were included. Preoperative total serum bilirubin was measured and compared with the final histopathology report. Patients were divided into 3 groups: non-inflamed appendix, simple appendicitis and complicated appendicitis. One hundred and 75 patients were analysed, 90 of them were females and 85 were males. Hyperbilirubinemia was found in 63% of patients with complicated appendicitis (p=0.001). Mean of bilirubin was significantly different between patients with complicated appendicitis and non-complicated appendicitis (1.101 vs 0.75 mg/dl; p= 0.0017). Bilirubin had a higher specificity (85%) than WBC (36%), but a lower sensitivity (63% vs 89%) for differentiating complicated appendicitis. Patients with suggestive features of acute appendicitis and raised serum bilirubin indicate a complicated case requiring early intervention to prevent peritonitis and septicaemia. Hyperbilirubinemia is a good indicator for complicated appendicitis and serum bilirubin measurement can be included in the work up of patients with suspected appendicitis.
Concerning the rationality of religious belief (reflection by a case of Islam)
Authors: Mavlyautdinov Ildar Safiullovich ,   Kazan (Volga region) Federal University
Published: November 2018

One of the tasks of modern philosophy is to protect conceptual thinking at the reflexive and theoretical level while achieving and ensuring clarity. Guided by the argument of V.N. Porus that rationality problematizes almost all main areas covered by modern philosophical thinking, the study reflects the specific nature of rationality inherent in Islam as a world (universal) religion with the dogma to be diametrically interpreted in a complex social and cultural reality. Reflection of the rationality of Islam is aimed at designating the attributive trait of rationality that is moderation. The moderate (limited by measure) rationality of Islam is of a relevant nature in a secularized world with consumerism as a foundation. This type of rationality implies the moral and legal system ensuring the reasonable actions that consider all possible consequences and interests of other people. The main findings of the study can be used in the general courses on the history of philosophy and the special courses on the history and philosophy of modern religious trends that will allow their audiences to build their own opinions about current social dynamics in its religious aspect.
Nostalgia for culture in the context of inclusion meanings reflection
Authors: Sudakova Natalia Evgenyevna ,   Russian Presidential Academy of  National Economy and Public Administration
Published: November 2018

The concept of culture nostalgization is first presented as a phase of the inclusive community formation. The study deals with the culture nostalgization from the perspective of the human civilization transferred to the new social and cultural space where the above-mentioned stage regarded by many thinkers as the decline of culture is considered in the context of the devaluation of traditional value imperatives cultivating an elite approach to culture and society development. The novelty of the research lies in the fact that nostalgia for the global development of elitism in culture is interpreted by the author as a natural component of social and cultural evolution towards the inclusive community as a part of the cultural genesis of inclusion. The phenomenon of inclusion (that is to recognize the significance of each person born and strengthen the positions of cooperation and co-creation in contrast to the values of rivalry that have existed for centuries) affirms the importance of the mutually enriching dialogue between popular and high culture contributing to the harmonization of the complex reality. The author concludes that the nostalgia for culture is an integral stage in the transformation of ideas about the importance of each person’s inclusion in social processes, the value of his/her social and cultural potential for the development of the human community as a whole. The process of nostalgia for culture allows us to rethink the results of human co-creation while recognizing the values of the person, his/her personal potential, the diversity of his/her needs and opportunities, making them the absolute value of the human species.

Infrastructure, value chains, and economic upgrades
Authors: Luo Xubei , Xu Xuejiao
Published: November 2018

Infrastructure development is critical to delivering growth, reducing poverty and addressing broader development goals, as argued in the World Bank Report Transformation through Infrastructure (2012). This paper surveys the literature of the linkages between infrastructure investment and economic growth, discusses the role of infrastructure in the participation of global value chains and in supporting economic upgrades, highlights the challenges faced the least developed countries and provides policy recommendations. It suggests that addressing the bottlenecks in infrastructure is a necessary condition to provide a window of opportunity for an economy to develop following its comparative advantage. With the right conditions, good infrastructure can support an economy, particularly a less developed economy, to reap the benefit through the participation in the global value chains to upgrade the economic structure.
A REVIEW ON SPECTRUM SENSING METHODS FOR COGNITIVE RADIO NETWORKS
Authors: Kaarthik K. , Sivagurunathan P.T. , Sivaranjani S.
Published: November 2018

In Wireless Communication, Radio Spectrum is doing a vital role; for the future need it should use efficient. The existing system, it is not possible to use it efficiently where the allocation of spectrum is done based on fixed spectrum access (FSA) policy. Several surveys prove that it show the way to inefficient use of spectrum. An innovative technique is needed for spectrum utilization effectively. Using Dynamic spectrum access (DSA) policy, available spectrum can be exploited. Cognitive radio arises to be an attractive solution which introduces opportunistic usage of the frequency bands that are not commonly occupied by licensed users. Cognitive radios promote open spectrum allocation which is a clear departure from habitual command and control allocation process for radio spectrum usage. In short, it permits the formation of â€œinfrastructure-lessâ€ joint network clusters which is called Cognitive Radio Networks (CRN). Conversely the spectrum sensing techniques are needed to detect free spectrum. In this paper, different spectrum sensing techniques are analyzed.

This paper mainly focuses on Traffic Sign and board Detection systems that have been placed on roads and highway. This system aims to deal with real-time traffic sign and traffic board recognition, i.e. localizing what type of traffic sign and traffic board are appears in which area of an input image at a fast processing time. Our detection module is based on proposed extraction and classification of traffic signs built upon a color probability model using HAAR feature Extraction and color Histogram of Orientated Gradients (HOG).HOG technique is used to convert original image into gray color then applies RGB for foreground. Then the Support Vector Machine (SVM) fetches the object from the above result and compares with database. At the same time Fuzzy Cmeans cluster (FCM) technique get the same output from above result and thenÂ  to compare with the database images. By using this method, accuracy of identifying the signs could be improved. Also the dynamic updating of new signals can be done. The goal of this work is to provide optimized prediction on the given sign.

Data Center Cooling System Integrated with Low-Temperature Desalination and Intelligent Energy-Aware Control
Authors: Sondur Sanjeev , Gross Kenny , Li Mengying
Published: November 2018

Data centers consume enormous energy, presently reported up to 2% of the world’s electricity, with most of this energy then rejected into the atmosphere as waste heat. Meanwhile there is a global scarcity of safe drinking water. The UN states that 20% of the world’s population lives in regions affected by scarcity of drinking water. In this paper, we discuss an on-going research initiative that investigates the reuse of ``free'' waste heat energy from data centers in coastal cities and island countries, and in modular data centers that are deployed in coastal regions, through a low-pressure desalination process that converts sea water into safe drinking and irrigation water supplies, while significantly improving the Power Utilization Efficiency (PUE) for the data centers. We show with our experimental setup and data that heat removed via common fluid-cooled rack heat exchangers in modern data centers can be re-used via a controlled-low-pressure desalination technique to turn salt water into drinking water at zero added carbon cost.

Published: November 2018

Matriks adalah salah satu materi matematika yang dianggap sulit. Materi matriks dianggap sulit utamanya karena banyaknya perhitungan yang harus dilakukan. Karena alasan itu pula, mencari kesalahan perhitungan juga sulit, sehingga membuat proses pembelajaran yang sebagian besar adalah pengerjaan latihan soal semakin sulit. Untuk mengatasi itu, dikembangkanlah suatu aplikasi penghitung matriks yang dapat menampilkan langkah-langkah perhitungannya. Pengembangan aplikasi ini menggunakan model prototipe yang memiliki lima fitur utama, yaitu pembantu operasi baris elementer, penghitung operasi matriks, penghitung bentuk-bentuk matriks, penghitung determinan matriks dengan ekspansi Laplace, dan penyelesaian persamaan linear dalam bentuk matriks dengan aturan Cramer. Pengujian aplikasi dilakukan dengan metode black box testing untuk menguji fungsionalitasnya yang menunjukkan bahwa setiap fitur aplikasi berfungsi dengan baik. Akan tetapi, aplikasi ini belum diuji efektivitasnya, sehingga masih dianggap prototipe.
Penerapan Algoritma Genetika Pada Permasalahan Matematika
Authors: Andhyka Awang
Published: November 2018

Algoritma genetika merupakan salah satu cara mengoptimasi dalam mencari hasil dari suatu permasalahan. Algoritma terdiri dari fungsi yang harus diselesaikan dengan nilai random awal, yang kemudian dilakukan pertukaran yang disebut mutasi dan crossover. Dalam penyelesaiannya, algoritma genetika mempunyai fungsi rate pada random dan rate kawin silang sehingga tidak semua individu awal hasil random dilakukan pertukaran atau persilangan, serta dapat untuk menyelesaikan permasalahan dalam matematika seperti kuadarat, liner, dan lain lain.  Banyak sekali cara atau tool yang tersedia, akan tetapi yang digunakan pada paper ini adalah menggunakan matlab dengan dilakukan secara manual, dalam arti tidak menggunakan tools yang ada sehingga hasil crossover dan mutation serta gen dalam persilangan dapat di ketahui. Perbedaan nilai dalam rate mutasi dan rate crossover sangat berpengrauh dalam penyelesaian pada algoritma genetika, jika nilai rate lebih dari 1, maka dapat menyebabkan banyak individu awal hilang yang berakibat tidak adanya solusi yang ditemukan. Begitu juga dengan popsize, yang merupakan nilai awal yang dihasilkan secara random acak, semakin banyak popsize, maka peluang untuk menyelesaikan sebuah permasalahan menjadi lebih besar.

In helping its members, the cooperative embraces familial value principle and mutual cooperation for the common social welfare. In carrying out its duties and functions, the cooperative requires an accurate and accountable recording. However, currently there are still many cooperatives performing their recording manually. Therefore, an information systems is needed in assisting the cooperative management in term of this recording. This research developed an object-oriented cooperative information systems using FAST method. Its purpose is to develop a cooperative information systems that can facilitate itsÂ  administrators in order to record the data through information systems-based, so the inaccuracy in recording, and loss of important data and archives can be avoided. Its result is a system that has been implemented into a cooperative. Hence, the information systems is developed using Java Programming language and MySQL database. From the system testing results shows that this information systems is capable in processing the accounting data associated with savings and loan transactions automatically, and produce information in the form of managerial and financial reports.
Tradition and Innovation in the Cosmology of Anania Širakac‘i
Authors: Pambakian Stephanie
Published: November 2018

Anania Širakac‘i was a 7th century AD Armenian mathematician trained in the Byzantine Empire whose works embrace treatises in various fields of science. Of the almost 30 texts attributed to him, most await investigation. His Cosmology is the focus of our research, and we highlight its elements of similarity with Greek tradition, in particular with St Basil’s Hexameron, and in the Armenian tradition, to which Anania brings novelty especially in his deeper understanding of astronomical phenomena. We suggest that this work, like Isidore’s De Natura Rerum, represents a new genre of Christian literature, and attempts to understand it through the meaning of Cosmos found in Aristotle’s De Mundo.
Modernizzazione dello stato e la metamorfosi della classe media nella capitale dell’Azerbaijan post-sovietico
Authors: Boboc Cristina
Published: November 2018

Based on ethnographic methods, this article provides a perspective on the relationship between state-led modernisation process and the emergence of a new middle class in the post-Soviet urban Azerbaijan. Furthermore, it examines the meaning and the characteristics of the Azerbaijani middle class and the way in which the new aspirations modify the everyday life. Due to natural resources, especially oil and gas, the Azerbaijani economy went through rapid growth, at least during the first decades of this century. This engendered stark changes in the country’s social landscape and social stratification. The state used a portion of the revenues from the extractive sector gained during the last two decades to invest in the modernisation of the country and to create new aspirational values for its citizens.

Macrophthalmothrips argus (Karny) (Thysanoptera: Phlaeothripidae): a fungus-feeding thrips newly established on the Atlantic island of St Helena
Authors: Collins Dominique W.
Published: November 2018

Macrophthalmothrips argus (Karny) is here recorded as newly established on the island of St Helena in the South Atlantic Ocean. A review of the Thysanoptera fauna of St Helena is also presented. Macrophthalmothrips argus is the twelfth thrips species to be recorded from
the island: the eleventh, Sericothrips staphylinus Haliday, was introduced onto the island as a biocontrol agent for the invasive plant Ulex europaeus in 1995, but its current status on the island is uncertain. A species of Aeolothrips present on the island has long been
attributed to A. fasciatus (L.), but its specific identity has never been confirmed. Helenothrips tinctus zur Strassen, once regarded as a St Helena endemic species, is indicated to be itself an introduction, from South Africa.

Published: November 2018

Lean-burn engines are important due to their ability to reduce emissions, increase fuel efficiency, and mitigate engine knock. In this study, the surface roughness of spark plug electrodes is investigated as a potential avenue to extend the lean flammability limit of natural gas. A nano-/micro-morphology modification is applied on surface of the spark plug electrode to increase its surface roughness. High-speed Z-type Schlieren visualization is used to investigate the effect of the electrode surface roughness on the spark ignition process in a premixed methane-air charge at different lean equivalence ratios. In order to observe the onset of ignition and flame kernel behavior, experiments were conducted in an optically accessible constant volume combustion chamber at ambient pressures and temperatures. The results indicate that the lean flammability limit of spark-ignited methane can be lowered by modulating the surface roughness of the spark plug electrode.

This study aims to determine the type of air cooling media, soluble oil, and air to the result on lathe ST 37 steel. The cooling medium is very important to maintain boring tool deformation and can add product quality. In the process lathe of friction between the workpiece and chisel cut that can produce overheating and influence on the result of the slice boring tool on the workpiece. The research that will be carried out is experimental research with variables that are controlled that is feeding, deep of a cut, and spindle rotation and examination of the hardness of the specimen on the object before done lathe. The sample in this study which is ST 37 steel with diameter 25 mm and length 60 mm as many as 9 specimens which will be done lathe with different type media kind inprocess working. To know influence the type of cooling medium against steel ST 37 is done brinnel hardeness test using test equipment hardness tester. Of the 9 specimens lathe will be determined 3 points to do hardeness tests. From the result of hardness test and analysis obtained from hardness test on steel ST 37 average data that is use of soluble refrigerant media that produce a very good cooling at the time of the lathe process. The results of research is obtained that the use of soluble refrigerant media is the best with an average hardness of 224.10 kg / mm². On the lathe process, the cooling media has oil content will be able to maintain the scores hardness and time-worn on boring tool. Thus to maintain the hardness values can be used soluble oil cooling media and to increase the hardness values of workpieces can be used air cooling media.
Assessment of insurance needs and opportunities in the Caribbean fisheries sector
Authors: Tietze Uwe , van Anrooy Raymon
Published: November 2018

Climate change related natural disasters pose serious threats and risks to livelihoods of fishermen and women as well as to food security in the Caribbean. To respond to these threats and risks, the FAO, the Department of State of the United States of America and the World Bank introduced an initiative on climate risk insurance for the Caribbean Fisheries sector as part of a global initiative on Blue Growth.In support of this initiative a survey was conducted to identify fisheries assets that could be insured, value these assets, identify climate smart fisheries investments and practices and carry out an insurance needs and demand survey. This Circular presents survey findings from Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Grenada, St Lucia, St Kitts and Nevis and St Vincent and the Grenadines. Some of the key findings are that: 97 percent of the fishing vessels and fishing assets were not insured, while in each of the CARICOM countries there is at least one local insurer offering marine insurance; 83 percent of the fishers would purchase insurance coverage for their vessels if it would be more affordable; only 17 percent of the fishers had a health insurance and 20 percent had an life insurance policy. Moreover, more than one-third of the fishers would be interested to invest in safe harbor, anchorage, haul out and vessel storage facilities, including installation of bumper rails on piers and the use of fenders on boats and piers, if this would reduce insurance premiums.Based on the findings of the insurance demand survey, an organizational arrangement for a Caribbean Fisheries Risk Insurance Facility (CFRIF) was developed, presented at various regional fora and shared with interested stakeholders.
On the porosity of subject and object in “mindfulness” scientific study: Challenges to “scientific” construction, operationalization and measurement of mindfulness
Authors: Grossman Paul
Published: November 2018

Mindfulness, derived from Buddhist psychology and philosophy, has gained broad popularity in the last decades, due importantly to scientific interest and findings. Yet Buddhist mindfulness developed in Asian pre-scientific culture and religion, and is predicated upon long-term cultivation of introspective awareness of lived experience, not highly accessible to empirical study. Further complicating the “science” of mindfulness, mindfulness’s very definition is multifaceted, resistant to dismantling and requires substantial amounts of personal practice to gain expertise. Most scientists investigating mindfulness have not achieved a high level of this expertise. Here I address how mindfulness is currently being invented as a scientific fact or object of inquiry. The intrinsic porosity of subjective and objective factors influencing the investigation of mindfulness is highlighted: the evolving body of “scientific” experts, instruments used to measure mindfulness, the alliances of funders and other supporters of mindfulness research, and the public representation of the related findings.
