Authors: Pranata Feriantano Sundang , Na’am Jufriadif , Hidayat Rahmat
Published: June 2020

Fundus is an image of the inner eye surface in the form of a colored image. This image has a lot of pixel values because it consists of three basic color components. The three colors are red, green, and blue, so they need a good technique in analyzing this image. This image can be used to diagnose diabetic retinal disease caused by diabetes mellitus. This disease can interfere with human vision because objects that cover the retina of the eye is called Cotton Wool Spot (CWS). The severity of this disease can be observed from the large area of the CWS covering the retina. This study aims to calculate the exact area ratio of CWS with the retina area. The method used in this research is Image Color Feature Segmentation (ICFS). This method has four stages, namely preprocessing, segmentation, feature extraction, and feature areas. The dataset processed in this study was sourced from the Radiology Department, General Hospital of M. Djamil Padang. The dataset consists of 16 fundus images of patients who were treated at the hospital. The results of this study can identify and calculate the percentage of retinal damage is very well. Therefore, this study can be a reference in measuring the severity of diabetic retinopathy for prevention and subsequent treatment for patients and doctors.
Development Barriers of Stingless Bee Honey Industry in Bicol, Philippines
Authors: Hidalgo Hanilyn A. , Nicolas Amelia R. , Cedon Romnick
Published: June 2020

Beekeeping industry in Bicol, Philippines is dominated by stingless beekeepers. Tetragonula biroi, is an endemic stingless bee species in the region, which produces the most expensive honey in the local commercial market. However, beekeeping industry remains to be part of the informal business sector under the shadow of rural enterprises. Improving the industry’s economic contribution would mean upgrading the chain through which beekeeping sector passes through. The purpose of the study is to assess the barriers in developing the stingless bee honey industry. The value chain approach was used in determining the issues along each chain level and in finding ways to strengthen the competitiveness of the industry. Results show that there is not enough support programs given to sustain the drive towards an efficient commodity flow of honey. The demand is high but there are few enablers to strengthen the flow of the commodity.  The findings revealed seven development barriers: stability of honey supply, product standardization; product traceability; harvesting and processing policies; entrepreneurial support program; vulnerability to natural disasters; and research programs.  Similar to farming, stingless beekeeping is a promising enterprise that is largely dependent on climatic condition. The risks associated with climate change and environment limit people from seriously pursuing stingless beekeeping as an entrepreneurial venture.  To strengthen the industry, stakeholder’s collaboration must be institutionalized to create strong business linkages among the chain operators. The distinctive characteristic of stingless bee honey should be positioned in a market niche that matches its benefit to target users.  A review must be done on the provisions in the Code of Good Beekeeping Practices as regards the production chain of raw honey and its by-products to ensure that honey sold is of good quality, with fair price, and easily traceable.

Authors: S Suraj , J Jijesh J , Soman Sarun
Published: June 2020

In the previous two decades, the depletion of fossil fuels has led to applications with renewable energy sources. The approach for renewable energy application is to achieve eminent static boost ratio from with miniaturized ripple content in both current and voltage. The novel converter discussed in this paper is derived by combining the concept of interleaving and cascading of boost converters. The presented design has a dual phase boost converter followed by a stage of boost converter which as a whole acts like dual phase dual stage boost converter. The interleaving concept is utilized in dual phase boost converter to reduce the voltage current stress created in boosting process and its output is boosted by the dual stage boost converter which improves overall efficiency with respect to the existing systems. The converter is designed for a power rating of 200W with output voltage of 192V for an input voltage of 12V obtained from photovoltaic source at a switching frequency of 50KHz this illustrate the advantages over other existing converters . The different parameters of the proposed boost converter are contrasted with that of a conventional boost converter. Furthermore, the simulations results of the proposed converter are presented to validate the system design. The results exhibit that this converter achieves a predominant performance over other dc-dc boost converters by offering improved efficiency and voltage gain, while having lower input current ripple.

Published: June 2020

Nattokinase, which is an extracellular enzyme synthesized by Bacillus subtilis natto, is a medication for cardiovascular disease treatment. In this study, soybean seed was used as a substrate for culturing Bacillus subtilis natto in solid-state fermentation to produce nattokinase. The optimal culture parameters for solid-state fermentation to synthesize nattokinase by Bacillus subtilis natto were 2:50 (v:w) of the ratio of Bacillus subtilis natto pre-culture to the substrate, 42 h of fermentation time, and 3 cm of the thickness of the substrate. At this optimal culture parameter of solid-state fermentation by using Bacillus subtilis natto, the enzymatic activity of crude nattokinase was 7.13 ± 0.2, 16.24 ± 0.33, and 16.55 ± 0.06 (specific activity/mL), respectively. Furthermore, we aim to apply this study with large scale production initially. Thus, the ratio of reusing Bacillus subtilis natto in fermentation product to substrate for a new process of solid-state fermentation and circulation time of reusing Bacillus subtilis natto in new solid fermentation process were screened. The maximal enzymatic activity of crude nattokinase of 14.10 ± 0.18 (specific activity/mL) was found at 3:100 (w:w) of reusing Bacillus subtilis natto in fermentation product to substrate for a new process of solid-state fermentation. The suggestion for the circulation time of reusing Bacillus subtilis natto for new solid fermentation process was 2nd. The results of this study had provided the necessary information for further research on nattokinase.

Published: June 2020

The growing use of Modular Multilevel Cascade Converter (MMCC) topologies in applications such as High Voltage Direct Current Transmission, Static Var Compensation, Alternating Current (AC) Drives and renewable energy systems, among others, turns their study relevant. However, as the number of Power Submodules in the MMCCs increases, the applied control strategies, data communication and digital hardware complexity increases as well. This paper proposes a flexible and scalable platform, that is adequate for implementing different MMCC topologies (single star, single delta or double star), communication schemes (star or ring) and control strategies (centralized or distributed). The Processing Board explores the availability of Field Programmable Gate Arrays, Digital Signal Processors and ARM microcontrollers. The Power and Measurement Submodules processing capability is provided by Complex Programmable Logic Devices and ARM microcontrollers. Description of the tasks implemented in the processing devices and experiments are presented for a test case, in which a double star topology with star communication and centralized processing strategy is tested using fixed switching frequency and equally displaced carriers.

Authors: Szostak Daniel , Głąbiński Zbigniew , Duda Tomasz
Published: June 2020

The study aims to analyse the correlation between planning tourism development at the local level and the development of the space that is being planned. Another goal is to determine the role of the local authorities (of the Karlino commune – gmina) in the implementation of strategic activities and the integration of various local beneficiaries around such activities. Further it will analyse how elaborating and implementing tourism development strategies may contribute to the local tourism economy and indicates the role and place of strategic planning in the process of creating and developing the tourist potential of a commune with particular emphasis on Karlino. The paper also discusses the tourism policy of Karlino’s local government as well as the strategic goals to be implemented and indicates its tourism development directions. The following research methods have been applied: expert method, observation method (using the inventory technique, physical inventory of the elements of the analysed space and actions taken), monographic method, document research, diagnostic survey analysis (using the survey technique of institutions from the examined area: Karlino commune, the communes of the Białogard powiat, the municipalities of the Association of Towns and Communes in the Parsęta Valley), and a critical literature review. The case of Karlino commune and its strategic activities in the field of tourism indicates that planning constitutes one of the most effective tools for local development. Such activity particularly shows that the commune can and wants to direct its socio-economic development based on optional (rather than obligatory) activities focused around the strategic use of endogenous resources. The paper indicates strategic action directions based on an inventory of such available endogenous resources. It shows how the local tourism economy may benefit from a tourism development strategy.
Behavioral Factors in Hotel Location: a Study of Hotels from Opole Province in Poland
Authors: Puciato Daniel
Published: June 2020

The choice of location is one of the key economic decisions for hotel owners. In modern economics traditional premises are increasingly questioned, and assumptions are often made involving imperfect competition, limited rationality of behavior, and the incomplete scope of information or the inability to use it effectively. This is also reflected in the theory of location within which a behavioral trend has been developed assuming the occurrence of non-economic, subjective factors in making location decisions. The aim of the paper is to identify behavioral factors in hotel location in Opolskie Province in Poland. The paper uses four main research methods: literature review, documentation, diagnostic survey and individual case studies. The study results confirm the importance of the behavioral approach in the process of selecting a location for independent hotels in Opolskie Province, involving the choice of secondary or primary locations. In the latter case, the decision-making process is based entirely on behavioral factors or is supplemented by them in situations where an objective approach is not connected with decision-making certainty. Behavioral factors such as intuition, emulation, experience, place of origin and residence, individual cases and the influence of others should be regarded as highly significant.
Between Elitism and Egalitarianism: the Heritage Tram Line in Wrocław as an Example of a Search for an Acceptable Tourist Product
Authors: Kołodziejczyk Krzysztof
Published: June 2020

The Heritage Tram Line is one of the tourist attractions of Wrocław. It is a way of making use of a large and diverse collection of historic trams that illustrate the development of public transport in the capital of Lower Silesia and, more broadly, in Central Europe. Although it has been operating since 2009, in recent years major modifications have been introduced including increasing the number of routes, a guided commentary on selected journeys, diversifying the historic tram cars and changing the ticket prices. The aim of the article is to evaluate these changes from the perspective of the interest of its users. The data on the frequency of operation and sales of tickets in the 2019 season have been analysed and compared with data from the previous year. This takes into account the increase in availability of the offer, as a consequence of a considerable reduction in ticket prices and introducing a larger number of stops, which has made the Heritage Tram Line more similar to a regular one. The changes introduced have resulted in a greater number of passengers, but also lower revenues as well as certain organisational problems such as ensuring the quality of guided services when passengers are being exchanged at intermediate stops. These issues are considered in the context of how to design a tourist product.

Arbuscular mycorrhizas (AM) are the most widely symbiosis in terrestrial ecosystem. Leaf N and P are the most important plant functional traits due to their influence on biogeochemical cycling. However, as the notable nitrogen (N) fixing plants, the variations of leaf N, P and N:P and their relationship among mycorrhizal types had been hardly studied based on functional groups. In this study, we studied the leaf N, P and N:P and their relationship between AM and other mycorrhizal types (others) among different functional groups or climate zones. The results indicated that AM improve significantly leaf N and P, while reduce N:P comparing to others. However, the influences of AM and others on leaf N, P and N:P changed with plant functional groups or climate zone. The relationships between leaf N and P, between N and N:P and between P and N:P also exhibit great variation between AM and Others.

Ergatividad o intersubjetividad en tojolabal
Authors: Lenkersdorf Carlos
Published: June 2020

Este trabajo contrasta aproximaciones analíticas fundamentalmente diferentes para las lenguas "ergativas" basado en un análisis del tojolabal. Realmente el termino ergatividad no explica la estructura básica del tojolabal y otras lenguas construidas en forma similar. Para el tojolabal es un hecho que los objetos, directos o indirectos, no existen, pero que, de acuerdo con criterios morfológicos, sintácticos y semánticos, hay una pluralidad de diferentes tipos de sujetos que están interrelacionados. Los análisis lingüísticos no toman en consideración esta pluralidad de sujetos, sino mas bien interpretan la distinta estructura lingüística basándose en la estructura de las lenguas indoeuropeas. Este enfoque más bien impone la estructura de lenguas acusativas a una lengua básicamente diferente, con profundas consecuencias para los niveles lingüístico y cultural. Este trabajo muestra que la "intersubjetividad" explica mejor la estmctura del tipo de lengua representada por el tojolahal y se hace analizando una serie de elementos gramaticales básicos.
Del Proyecto Xculoc al Proyecto Xcalumkín: interrogantes acerca de la organización política en la zona Puuc
Authors: Michelet Dominique
Published: June 2020

El examen detallado de una serie de sitios en las cercanias de Xculoc (Campcche, México) sugiere la existencia, durante la época Puuc clásica, de una multiplicidad de pequeñas unidades territoriales, en buena parte independientes, ya que muchos de estos asentamienros comprenden uno (o varios) edificio(s) reservado(s) a reyezuelos locales. Un poco más hacia el oeste, en Xcalumkin, parece ser que, dentro del mismo sitio, pudieron coexisrir, en los comienzos del período Puuc, dos grupos de construcciones con los arributos, iconográficos y epigráficos, tradicionales del poder. Justo antes aun, el corazón del sitio habría incluido un mínimo de siete estructuras bastanre similares, de carácter público aunque de función exacta desconocida, dispuestas alrededor de una (o dos) plaza(s). Estos dos casos, objetos de investigaciones recientes, nos inducen a reflexionar sobre la organización política de este sector del mundo maya clásico.

Para los mayas kaqchikeles del altiplano guatemalteco, el vocablo k´u´x cobra gran importancia en la actualidad. Traducido generalmente como 'corazón', k´u´x conlleva fuerte sentido de fuerza vital. En la comunidad bajo estudio, k´u´x se manifiesta de tres maneras significativas: como enfoque de vida y sensibilidad, como la placenta y como la divinidad creadora sustentadora. En sus múltiples aspectos de muestra un caácter espiritual entre laudo con las dimensiones físicas de la vida humana. El objeto de este ensayo es intentar un entendimiento integral de k´u´x, tomando en cuenta su ubicación en varios dominios de la experiencia maya. Planteo la cualidad fundamental de k´u´x como vínculo corporal en el mundo espiritual maya.
Edzná y la región occidental del Puuc
Authors: Benavides C. Antonio
Published: June 2020

El patrimonio precolombino de la porción occidental de la península yucateca ha sido objeto de diversas investigaciones y estudios desde mediados del siglo XIX. Desde entonces los elementos más llamativos han sido los edificios recubiertos con sillares bien corrados y ensamblados, generalmente conocidos como Puuc, y que dentro de una densa jungla han perdurado por unos doce siglos. En buena medida su conservación se ha debido a su buena calidad constructiva. Lo que en un principio eran informaciones dispersas acerca de edificios llamativos, con el tiempo fue analizado e interpretado,de modo que hoy sabemos de una región en la que predomina un estilo arquitectónico general, subdividido temporalmente de acuerdo a variantes constructivas claramente definidas. En numeros redondos, en Campeche y Yucatán, se conocen 430 asentamientos con inmuebles cuya arquitecrura ha sido clasificada como perteneciente al estilo Puuc. En este artículo se revisan los limitesde la región Puuc debido a reportes recientes de sitios con dicha arquirectura y que se localizan allende aquellas líneas imaginarias, y se replantea la idea de las regiones con base en estilos arquirectónicos a partir de la arquirectura monumental de Edzna como capital regional de otras entidades políticas de rangos inferiores. Así, Edzna sería poseedora de un estilo arquitectónico propio contemporáneo al Puuc pero que también asimiló otros estilos arquitectónicos mayas.

Published: June 2020

Russia occupies a leading position in the world ranking of countries with the richest natural resources, but lags behind many countries of the world in terms of living standards. Studies of Russian sociologists also suggest that, according to Russians, negative dynamics are manifested in many indicators characterizing the main areas of life of Russian society. To overcome this situation, a close study of the laws of functioning and the cyclical stages of social processes is necessary, which is impossible without reliance on socio-psychological knowledge, which is increasingly being integrated into international models for assessing the quality of life at the macro, meso- and micro- levels. Recent studies convincingly demonstrate the relationship of psychological factors with the quality of life of society, there is a realization that these factors can serve as important levers in optimizing socio-economic processes, can increase their productivity and are effective in implementing public administration programs. In modern conditions, no scientific field can give a complete answer to the question about the nature of the factors (legal, economic, social, psychological, etc.) that determine an increase in the standard of living of the population and ensure the stability of its social development. Accordingly, the optimization of the social sphere is a complex interdisciplinary problem, which, in one of its manifestations, is associated with the need to identify various historical and everyday cycles that affect the effectiveness of economic and political processes, as well as the mindset of the population. In this direction, the development of information technology creates serious opportunities for combining the efforts of representatives of the humanities, social and technical sciences, and the organization of large-scale integrated research.

Background: Dental arch form and dimension are fundamental factors in orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning. Its dimension will increase, due to the eruption of teeth, and is also affected by ethnicity, nutrition, systemic disease, hormonal factors, and gender. Many teeth are erupting in 8–10-year-old children. Purpose: This study aimed to assess the correlation between age and dental arch dimension of Javanese children in good nutritional status for consideration of orthodontic treatment. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study with 66 children aged 8–10 years in a normal dentoskeletal relationship, grouped based on age as the subject. Each group consisted of 22 pairs of dental study models, male and female. Anterior and posterior size of dental arch length were measured by digital sliding calipers from the midpoint between the right and left permanent central incisors perpendicular to the inter-canines and inter-molars. The width was measured at the inter-canines and inter-molars. Results: Pearson’s correlation test showed that there were significant correlations between age and maxillary dental arch lengths (p = 0.01, r = 0.31 for anterior, and p = 0.043, r = 0.249 for posterior). Conclusion: Based on this study, it can be concluded that there was a positive correlation between age and dental arch length of 8–10-year-old Javanese children in good nutritional status, especially in maxillary dental arch length.

Eksistensi mediasi penal dalam sistem peradilan pidana belum dikenal pada tataran legislasi, namun secara praktik acapkali dilaksanakan oleh komponen penegak hukum berdasarkan kewenangan diskresi yang dimiliki. Mediasi penal merupakan bentuk alternatif penyelesaian perkara yang bertolak dari pemikiran keadilan restoratif yang hanya dikenal dalam Undang-Undang Sistem Peradilan Pidana Anak (Undang-undang Nomor 11 Tahun 2012) berupa diversi. Sejatinya mediasi penal merupakan hal baru dalam ranah hukum pidana, yang mana sebelumnya hanya dikenal dalam ranah privat. Implementasi mediasi penal pada tahap penyidikan oleh Kepolisian berlandaskan keadilan restoratif didasarkan pada kewenangan diskresi dan peraturan dalam tataran regulasi di bawah undang-undang yang bersifat parsial, yaitu Peraturan Kapolri Nomor 6 Tahun 2019 tentang Penyidikan Tindak Pidana dan Surat Edaran Kapolri Nomor: SE/8/VII/2018 tanggal 27 Juli 2018 tentang Penerapan Keadilan Restoratif (Restorative Justice) Dalam Penyelesaian Perkara Pidana.
Perlindungan dan Pemenuhan Hak Stateless Person Eks dan Keturunan Warga Negara Indonesia Atas Status Kewarganegaraan
Authors: Faizal Aldyan
Published: June 2020

Hak atas status kewarganegaraan adalah bagian dari hak asasi manusia yang dijamin dalam konstitusi. Namun, beberapa orang tidak mendapatkan hak status kewarganegaraan seperti mantan warga negara dan keturunan warga negara Indonesia yang tinggal di Filipina dan bahwa mereka tidak memiliki status kewarganegaraan apa pun untuk kedua negara atau tanpa kewarganegaraan. Karena alasan itu, orang-orang ini tidak dapat mengakses hak-hak dasar mereka, misalnya, hak untuk kebebasan, hak untuk pekerjaan yang layak, dan hak untuk perlindungan negara. Sementara kedua negara menemukan hambatan untuk memperlakukan orang tanpa dokumen, peraturan Indonesia tentang kewarganegaraan sebenarnya tidak mendukung pemberian status kewarganegaraan kepada orang tanpa kewarganegaraan. Mengatasi situasi ini, Pemerintah Indonesia telah memberikan status kewarganegaraan kepada orang-orang tanpa kewarganegaraan, mantan dan keturunan warga negara Indonesia di Filipina dengan menggunakan wewenang kebijaksanaannya yang berpijak pada prinsip-prinsip anti-apatride dan perlindungan maksimum sebagaimana juga dijelaskan dalam pasal 28D (4). ) Undang-Undang Dasar Negara Republik Indonesia Tahun 1945. Penelitian hukum doktrinal ini menegaskan bahwa kekuasaan diskresi yang digunakan dalam kasus ini telah ditempatkan sebagai tanggung jawab pemerintah Indonesia terhadap perlindungan dan pemenuhan hak asasi manusia yang berstatus kewarganegaraan bagi orang-orang tanpa kewarganegaraan, mantan dan keturunan warga negara Indonesia di Filipina.

Published: June 2020

Peningkatan kesejahteraan hidup manusia dapat dilihat dengan terpenuhinya hak-hak dasar setiap orang, seperti memperoleh pendidikan, pekerjaan yang layak, memperoleh manfaat dari ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi, seni dan budaya guna meningkatkan kualitas hidupnya sesuai amanat konstitusi. Dimana untuk memenuhi hak-hak tersebut dibutuhkan suatu tempat atau wadah atau fasilitas tertentu guna menunjang kehidupan sehari-hari tersebut yang biasanya disebut bangunan gedung. Praktiknya, pekerjaan konstruksi pada penyelenggaran bangunan gedung ditemukan suatu kondisi dimana ada perbuatan karena kelalaian oleh penyelenggara bangunan gedung sehingga mengakibatkan suatu bangunan gedung terkualifikasi sebagai bangunan tidak laik fungsi serta mengarah pada timbulnya kerugian, yakni berupa kerugian harta benda orang lain, cacat seumur hidup atau hilangnya nyawa orang lain dimana kondisi tersebut dilaporkan kepada pihak kepolisian. Merujuk pada ketentuan Pasal 47 UU No. 28 Tahun 2002 tentang Bangunan Gedung, maka kondisi tersebut dapat dikualifikasikan sebagai tindak pidana sehingga terhadap pelakunya (penyelenggara bangunan gedung) dapat dimintai pertanggungjawaban pidana. Pertanggungjawaban tersebut dapat dimintakan baik secara sendiri-sendiri maupun bersama-sama diantara pelakunya sepanjang terbukti adanya kesalahan (mens rea) dan hubungan kausalitas antara perbuatan pelaku (actus reus) dengan akibat yang ditimbulkan.

Indonesia is known as a country whose people massively use social media. It is currentlyone of the largest internet users in the world, especially social media. President of Indonesia,Joko Widodo, (famously called ‘Jokowi’) also tries to ‘fit in’ to the trend of social media acrossIndonesia. Jokowi has several social media accounts, including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram,and YouTube. He even publishes a lot of his works, including his meeting agenda with otherstates’ leaders. Jokowi sometimes uploads some video blogs or ‘vlogs’ which some of them arecollaborations with leaders of powerful countries, such as King Salman Abdul Aziz of SaudiArabia, Emmanuel Macron of France, and many others. Therefore, the authors consider thisas a great opportunity for Indonesia to start digital diplomacy.

A Fight For Gender Equality Within The United States’ Government
Authors: Dewi Ni Made Citra Kusuma
Published: June 2020

Due to the stereotypes that women are unable to do jobs besides household chores, the people mostly assume that women are unable to work in politics and government as well as men do. This assumption, implicitly, violates human’s right to reach their social welfare. This paper, hence, aims to explore how women are perceived and treated in the government of the United States, specifically in the Congress by analyzing the current situation through literature reading. Based on the historical studies, the authors argue that gender equality has not been applied properly in the United States’ political system. This case eventually results in the emergence of various doubts on the United States as a role model for countries around the world that promote her civilian rights as the main priority.

Published: June 2020

The rapid development experienced by the mass media has changed theway societies access information. It could be proven by the existence ofcommunication and information technology, which requires variousconditions such as qualified educational experiences, good economicconditions, and the existence of adequate infrastructures. However, theserequirements are not easy to be met by people in sub-Saharan countries.As a result, people in sub-Saharan countries use radio instead as a massmedia to obtain information. Regarding this phenomenon, the authorsees an opportunity to use radio as a tool for community empowerment,precisely through the spread of endemic knowledge. The author thenuses the marginal utilitarianism method with a bottom-up approachexplaining how radio could be used in community empowerment whichresulted into information blending methods. The purpose of the paperitself is to give new insight on ways to empower society, precisely throughthe use of traditional mass media.
Integrasi Regional Eropa Pasca Krisis Pengungsi 2015: Peran Area Schengen dalam Rekonstruksi Identitas Eropa melalui ‘Spatial “Othering”’
Authors: Wardhani Tara Kukuh
Published: June 2020

This paper departs from the debate on the relevance of functional and neofunctionalmotives, such as economics, politics, and mobility, to the EU to maintainthe procurement of the Schengen area in the aftermath of insecurity crisiscaused by the large influx of refugees in 2015. This issue is important becausethe Schengen area has been one of the drivers of European regional integration.Thus, a more thorough analysis is needed in order to clarify other motives underlyingthe EU’s decision to maintain the procurement of the Schengen Area.Consequently, the author’s analysis yields three major findings to review motivesregarding the issue. First, the author analyses the transition of Schengen’s ‘ordering’forms in the European integration process, from functional to identity-drivenmotives. Second, the author analyses the ‘bordering’ practices undertaken by theEU through the Schengen area as an attempt to deconstruct the European rigidgeographical identity into a spatial geopolitical identity thus reinforcing exclusionof countries non-European. Third, the author analyses the possibility of increasingdegrees of EU inclusiveness as a strategic response to the Schengen crisis.

The conflict involving many countries in the South China Sea has notended nor subsided. Regional tension and claims between countries areincreasing and Indonesia participates in this round of conflict. As theworld’s largest archipelagic country and an ASEAN member country thatupholds peace, security and regional stability, Indonesia then has to playan active role in the conflict. In order to do so, Indonesia is using navaldiplomacy as a way to achieve effective conflict resolution within theregion. Regarding the phenomenon, this study used the concept of seapower and naval diplomacy to explain measures that have been taken bythe Indonesian government under Joko Widodo’s presidency in resolvingthe conflicts involving its territories in the South China Sea. The author’sanalysis showed that Indonesia’s policies of using naval diplomacy in theSouth China Sea conflict have a positive and effective outcome in achievingconflict resolution and peace condition that has been confined by longtermobstacles and challenges.

This paper aims to prove the justification of US democracy in itsconsistency in the Vietnam War for two decades (1955-1975). This wasdone using the content analysis method of the US Department of Defense’sforeign policy documents in Vietnam - the Pentagon Papers - which werethe primary documents related to the process of making US foreign policyduring the Vietnam War. This was later matched with the view of DemocraticPeace Theory (Democratic Peace Theory) which has been widelyargued as the basis for policy making in the proxy war in the Cold Warera. This paper concludes that there are various other considerations,both rational and irrational factors, which were used by the United Statesin the Vietnam War

The bilateral meeting between the United States and North Korea, whichwas held in Hanoi in February 2019, has not resulted in any agreementbetween the two parties. Furthermore, North Korea’s construction activityof a nuclear development facility in Tongchan-ri has threatened the possibilityof any agreement between both states and has shown North Korea’spoor commitment to denuclearization. In order to understand the attitudeshown by North Korea, it is important to consider the presence of anotherdominant actor in East Asia, the People’s Republic of China (PRC). Thisresearch aims to study the significance of the North Korean denuclearizationissue for the PRC, as well as the PRC’s position in the issue. This researchutilizes a document-based data-collecting method, which includesofficial documents released by the PRC as well as literatures that havecarried out earlier studies on the topic. This research has shown that thePRC possesses significant interests and power in the denuclearization ofNorth Korea, which require the country to maintain an unclear stance inthe denuclearization process of North Korea.
A Study of Feature Reduction Techniques and Classification for Network Anomaly Detection
Authors: Jain Meenal , Kaur Gagandeep
Published: June 2020

Due to the launch of new applications the behavior of internet traffic is changing. Hackers are always looking for sophisticated tools to launch attacks and damage the services. Researchers have been working on intrusion detection techniques involving machine learning algorithms for supervised and unsupervised detection of these attacks. However, with newly found attacks these techniques need to be refined. Handling data with large number of attributes adds to the problem. Therefore, dimensionality based feature reduction of the data is required. In this work three reduction techniques, namely, Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Artificial Neural Network (ANN), and Nonlinear Principal Component Analysis (NLPCA) have been studied and analyzed. Secondly, performance of four classifiers, namely, Decision Tree (DT), Support Vector Machine (SVM), K Nearest Neighbor (KNN) and Naïve Bayes (NB) has been studied for the actual and reduced datasets. In addition, novel performance measurement metrics, Classification Difference Measure (CDM), Specificity Difference Measure (SPDM), Sensitivity Difference Measure (SNDM), and F1 Difference Measure (F1DM) have been defined and used to compare the outcomes on actual and reduced datasets. Comparisons have been done using new Coburg Intrusion Detection Data Set (CIDDS-2017) dataset as well widely referred NSL-KDD dataset. Successful results were achieved for Decision Tree with 99.0 percent and 99.8 percent accuracy on CIDDS and NSLKDD datasets respectively.
Temporal RDF(S) Data Storage and Query with HBase

Published: June 2020

Resource Description Framework (RDF) is a metadata model recommended by World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) for describing the Web resources. With the arrival of the era of Big Data, very large amounts of RDF data are continuously being created and need to be stored for management. The traditional centralized RDF storage models cannot meet the need of largescale RDF data storage. Meanwhile, the importance of temporal information management and processing has been acknowledged by academia and industry. In this paper, we propose a storage model to store temporal RDF based on HBase. The proposed storage model applies the built-in time mechanism of HBase. Our experiments on LUBM dataset with temporal information added show that our storage model can store large temporal RDF data and obtain good query efficiency.

Com a evolução da utilização da internet nos últimos tempos, é possível além de proporcionar interação interpessoal, trabalhar, ensinar, realizar transações comerciais ou financeiras. Novas vertentes por mais que com a intenção de “conexão”, muitas vezes, acabam por ser comprometidas pelo mau uso das tecnologias. O que vem preocupando as autoridades e os usuários é a dificuldade de alcance do sistema jurídico do Estado e bem como a dificuldade de punição. Nesse cenário, esse artigo tem por objetivo esclarecer ao leitor sobre os crimes cibernéticos, suas consequências e mais especificamente o tema revenge porn que trata-se de um crime sofrido por mulheres no crivo íntimo e virtual. A metodologia utilizada foi a revisão sistemática de literatura com base no método hipotético-dedutivo, a definição de dimensões foram construídas com base em observações colhidas sistematicamente e complementadas com informações isoladas pelo método empírico. Os resultados com base nos indicadores utilizados apontam que o ordenamento jurídico age desde o ano de 2012 de forma cautelosa na tentativa de impedir a divulgação íntima de imagens sem o consentimento das vítimas, entretanto somente recentemente conceituou-se o crime no Código Penal e por mais que o desejo social seja uma legislação mais incisiva percebese uma grande discussão no âmbito legislativo e uma cautela na criação de leis que sejam tipicamente reconhecidas pelo sistema jurídico nacional. Aborda-se ainda, a importância de grupos de combate aos crimes virtuais, além de sugerir maior disseminação de conhecimentos sobre penalidade, meios e formas de denuncia aos crimes de pornografia de vingança.
