Discussion on the Importance of Combination with Railway Route Selection and Urban Planning
Authors: Wang Wenbo
Published: December 2020

The density of cities in Northwest China is relatively low, and the scale of cities is relatively small compared with the developed areas in Southeast China. In addition, the early urban planning hadn’t systematically plan the blue line, red line and purple line in the urban area. These caused designers ignored the influence of urban planning on route selection in the design scheme. With the rapid development of China’s economy and the continuous expansion of the city scale, the status of urban planning has become more and more important. Railway engineers need to change their ideas and pay attention to the impact of urban planning on the design scheme. Taking the high-speed railway from Zhongwei to Lanzhou as an example, this paper discusses the relationship between railway route selection and urban planning in the urban built-up area combined with the problems encountered in the design and the principle of urban planning. It is concluded that railway route selection must be closely combined with urban planning. It systematically analyzes how to fully consider the influence of environmental protection, urban land, four lines of urban planning and other factors in the process of railway selection, so as to provide reference for railway route selection in large cities.
The Sustainable Development of Modern Railway Transportation Planning and Management Under the Guidance of COM Technology
Authors: Yang Ming , Long Anliang
Published: December 2020

In order to improve the planning and management ability of railway transportation and establish a sustainable railway transportation system, a modern railway transportation planning and management system is established by component object model (COM) technology to achieve efficient and sustainable management scheme. First, based on COM technology, the geographic information system (GIS) component is designed and a visual map query scheme is established. GIS can be used to query and dynamically operate maps to obtain rich visual data. Then, based on GIS technology, the railway transportation management system is established from the data access layer, business logic layer and interface presentation layer. The front-end GIS system can quickly access the spatial data and attribute data of the railway, and realize the visual query and management of the railway transportation. Finally, the performance of railway transportation planning management system is tested. The results show that through the planning of X city’s container capacity in 2018, the optimized railway carrying capacity has been greatly improved compared with the original capacity. In addition, through the planning of railway transportation frequency, the number of railway trains is reduced from 141 to 42, which effectively reduces the consumption of railway resources. Therefore, the railway planning management system designed can effectively maximize the use of railway transportation capacity, reduce the consumption of resources in the process of railway operation, and realize the construction of efficient energy-saving and sustainable railway transportation network. This study can provide a reference for the construction of a new sustainable railway development model.

Authors: Powell Lauren E. , Cisu Theodore I. , Klausner Adam P.
Published: December 2020

BACKGROUND:

Understanding of health-related materials, termed health literacy, affects decision makings and outcomes in the treatment of bladder cancer. The National Institutes of Health recommend writing education materials at a sixth-seventh grade reading level. The goal of this study is to assess readability of bladder cancer materials available online.

OBJECTIVE:

The goal of this study is to characterize available information about bladder cancer online and evaluate readability.

METHODS:

Materials on bladder cancer were collected from the American Urological Association’s Urology Care Foundation (AUA-UCF) and compared to top 50 websites by search engine results. Resources were analyzed using four different validated readability assessment scales. The mean and standard deviation of the materials was calculated, and a two-tailed t test for used to assess for significance between the two sets of patient education materials.

RESULTS:

The average readability of AUA materials was 8.5 (8th–9th grade reading level). For the top 50 websites, average readability was 11.7 (11–12th grade reading level). A two-tailed t test between the AUA and top 50 websites demonstrated statistical significance between the readability of the two sets of resources ( P = 0.0001), with the top search engine results being several grade levels higher than the recommended 6–7th grade reading level.

CONCLUSIONS:

Most health information provided by the AUA on bladder cancer is written at a reading ability that aligns with most US adults, with top websites for search engine results exceeding the average reading level by several grade levels. By focusing on health literacy, urologists may contribute lowering barriers to health literacy, improving health care expenditure and perioperative complications.
Sociomorphing, Not Anthropomorphizing: Towards a Typology of Experienced Sociality
Authors: Seibt Johanna , Vestergaard Christina , Damholdt Malene F.
Published: December 2020

Social robotics and HRI are in need of a unified and differentiated theoretical framework where, relative to interaction context, robotic properties can be related to types of human experiences and interactive dispositions. The aim of this paper is to contribute to this task by providing new descriptive tools. In social robotics and HRI it is commonly assumed that social interactions with robots are due to ‘anthropomorphizing’. We challenge this assumption and argue, on conceptual and empirical grounds, that social interactions with robots are not always the result of anthropomorphizing, i.e., the projection of imaginary or fictional human social capacities, but of sociomorphing, i.e., the perception of actual non-human social capacities. Sociomorphing can take many forms which phenomenally manifest themselves in various types of experienced sociality. We very briefly sketch core elements of the descriptive framework OASIS (the Ontology of Asymmetric Social Interactions) in order to show how one might develop a classificatory system for types of experienced sociality.
The Artificial Nature of Social Robots: A Phenomenological Interpretation of Two Conflicting Tendencies in Human-Robot Interaction
Authors: Remmers Peter
Published: December 2020

Effects of anthropomorphism or zoomorphism in social robotics motivate two opposing tendencies in the philosophy and ethics of robots: a ‘rational’ tendency that discourages excessive anthropomorphism because it is based on an illusion and a ‘visionary’ tendency that promotes the relational reality of human-robot interaction. I argue for two claims: First, the opposition between these tendencies cannot be resolved and leads to a kind of technological antinomy. Second, we can deal with this antinomy by way of an analogy between our treatment of robots as social interactors and the perception of objects in pictures according to a phenomenological theory of image perception. Following this analogy, human- or animal-likeness in social robots is interpreted neither as a psychological illusion, nor as a relational reality. Instead, robots belong to a special ontological category shaped by perception and interaction, similar to objects in images.
A Robot-Human Handshake in Space: Touch and Lively Alterity Relations in Social Robotics
Authors: Chesher Chris , Silvera-Tawil David
Published: December 2020

In February 2012, Robonaut R2 and Dan Burbank performed the first human-humanoid handshake in space. The handshake welcomed R2 as a crewmember—a social agent rather than a thing. In Heidegger’s terms, it is experienced not only as present-at-hand or ready-to-hand, but also as a quasi-Dasein. Extending Ihde’s concept of alterity relations we argue it is experienced in lively alterity relations, given respect as an other capable of initiating and reacting to contact. R2 is capable not only of executing programs, but of also playing its part in choreographed and improvised collaborative performances within a shared social milieu.
Social Norms for Artificial Systems
Authors: Strasser Anna
Published: December 2020

This paper investigates reasons to argue for social norms regulating our behavior towards artificial agents. By problematizing the assertion that moral agency is, in principle, a necessary prerequisite for any form of moral patiency, reasons are examined which are independent of attributing moral agency to artificial agents, but which speak for morally appropriate behavior towards artificial systems. Suggesting a consequentialist strategy, potential negative impacts of human-machine interactions are analyzed with a focus on factors that support a transfer of behavioral patterns from human-machine interactions to human-human interactions.
Discrimination Issues in Usage-Based Insurance for Traditional and Autonomous Vehicles
Authors: Brandão Martim
Published: December 2020

Vehicle insurance companies have started to offer usage-based policies which track users to estimate premiums. In this paper we argue that usage-based vehicle insurance can lead to indirect discrimination of sensitive personal characteristics of users, have a negative impact in multiple personal freedoms, and contribute to reinforcing existing socio-economic inequalities. We argue that there is an incentive for autonomous vehicles (AVs) to use similar insurance policies, and anticipate new sources of risk that may lead to indirect and structural discrimination. We conclude by analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of alternative insurance policies for AVs: no-fault compensation schemes, technical explainability and fairness, and national funds.
Permissibility-Under-A-Description Reasoning for Deontological Robots
Authors: Lindner Felix
Published: December 2020

According to deontological ethics, actions bear moral value due to their intrinsic moral value rather than by their consequences. Empirical studies indicate that deontological judgments depend on how the action is described. Drawing on results in action theory, I present an integrated system that accomplishes inferences of action descriptions by combining an action formalism and a terminological reasoning formalism. Using this system, differentiated deontological judgments can be computed. This may turn out advantageous for conversational ethical robots.
Tetrahydrobiopterin Improves Recognition Memory in the Triple-Transgenic Mouse Model of Alzheimer’s Disease, Without Altering Amyloid-β and Tau Pathologies
Authors: Fanet Hortense , Tournissac Marine , Leclerc Manon , Caron Vicky , Tremblay Cyntia , Vancassel Sylvie , Calon Frédéric
Published: December 2020

Background: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a multifactorial disease, implying that multi-target treatments may be necessary to effectively cure AD. Tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) is an enzymatic cofactor required for the synthesis of monoamines and nitric oxide that also exerts antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Despite its crucial role in the CNS, the potential of BH4 as a treatment in AD has never been scrutinized. Objective: Here, we investigated whether BH4 peripheral administration improves cognitive symptoms and AD neuropathology in the triple-transgenic mouse model of AD (3xTg-AD), a model of age-related tau and amyloid-β (Aβ) neuropathologies associated with behavior impairment. Methods: Non-transgenic (NonTg) and 3xTg-AD mice were subjected to a control diet (5% fat – CD) or to a high-fat diet (35% fat - HFD) from 6 to 13 months to exacerbate metabolic disorders. Then, mice received either BH4 (15 mg/kg/day, i.p.) or vehicle for ten consecutive days. Results: This sub-chronic administration of BH4 rescued memory impairment in 13-month-old 3xTg-AD mice, as determined using the novel object recognition test. Moreover, the HFD-induced glucose intolerance was completely reversed by the BH4 treatment in 3xTg-AD mice. However, the HFD or BH4 treatment had no significant impact on Aβ and tau neuropathologies. Conclusion: Overall, our data suggest a potential benefit from BH4 administration against AD cognitive and metabolic deficits accentuated by HFD consumption in 3xTg-AD mice, without altering classical neuropathology. Therefore, BH4 should be considered as a candidate for drug repurposing, at least in subtypes of cognitively impaired patients experiencing metabolic disorders.

Published: December 2020

BACKGROUND: Prevalence of extubation failure in neonates may be up to 80%, but evidence to determine if a neonate is ready for extubation remains unclear. We aim to evaluate a spontaneous breathing trial accuracy with minimum pressure support to predict success in neonates’ extubation and identify variables related to failures. METHODS: This is a diagnostic accuracy study based on a cohort study in an intensive care unit with all eligible newborn infants subjected to invasive mechanical ventilation for at least 24 hours submitted to the trial for 10 minutes before extubations. The outcome was failures of extubations, considered if reintubation was needed until 72 hours. RESULTS: The incidence of failure was 14.7%among 170 extubations. There were 145 successful extubations; of these, 140 also passed the trial with a sensitivity of 96.5%(95%CI: 92.1–98.9). Of the 25 extubations that eventually failed, 16 failed the test with a specificity of 64.0%(95%CI: 42.5–82.0). The negative predictive value was 76.2%, and the positive predictive value was 94%. In stratifying by weight, the accuracy was >98.7%for neonates weighting >2500 g, but 72.5%for those weighing <1250 g. Extubation failures occurred more frequently in smaller (p = 0.01), preterm infants (p = 0.17), with longer ventilation time (p = 0.05), and having a hemodynamically significant persistent arterial duct (p = 0.01), compared with infants whose extubation was successful. CONCLUSION: The spontaneous breathing trial with minimum pressure support ventilation seems to predict extubation success with great accuracy in full-term and larger neonates.

Published: December 2020

The effective techniques for remediation of sites polluted by dense non-aqueous phase liquids (DNAPLs) remains a challenge. Among the various technical monitoring methods, there is an increasing interest in studying the geophysical characteristics of contaminated soils, as indicators of the progress in clean-up programs. This work sought to investigate the variation of the electrical complex resistivity and the relative permittivity by analyzing the results obtained from spectral induced polarization (SIP) and time domain reflectometry (TDR). Different series of measurements during drainage and imbibition of DNAPLs in porous media were done to validate the clean-up process on sites polluted by DNAPLs. Therefore, a methodology based on laboratory work was designed and carried out to study the electrical complex resistivity (both in magnitude and phase) in the frequency range 0.183 Hz to 20 kHz, and the relative dielectric permittivity at 70 MHz. The experiments were done on small 1D cells. In these cells, glass beads were used as a porous medium. Two different fluid couples, i.e., coal tar (CT)/water and canola oil (CO)/salty ethanol (SE), were used to produce two-phase flow.

Our findings highlight that due to the high resistivity of CO and CT, an increase in water saturation led to decrease in amplitude and phase. Saturation change of SE had the same effect on resistivity but no relationship was found for phase and saturation for the mixture CO and SE. It is also showed that the complex resistivity and relative permittivity measurements were compatible with generalized Archie's law and complete complex refractive index method (CRIM) model as two empirical models for defining the correlation between the electrical resistivity, relative permittivity, and saturation of each phase in the multiphase porous medium.

The aim of this study was to understand whether the company’s fundamental factors through liquidity ratio, asset management ratio, profitability ratio, debt management ratio and market value ratio, specifically represented by current ratio, Total Assets Turnover (TATO), Return on Assets (ROA), Debt to Equity ratio (DER) and Earnings per Share (EPS) yield; market return and macroeconomic factors (Gross Domestic Product, interest rate, exchange rate) affect the stock return of Consumer Goods companies’ listed in BEI period 2009-2018. There were various former studies did to correlate stock return with financial ratios or macroeconomic partially. This study was done to understand the effect of the stock return with both company’s factors and macroeconomic factors, partially and simultaneously. This study used quantitative approach, in the area of Consumer Goods companies listed in BEI during period of the research, covering 23 companies that represented 84% of Consumer Goods market capitalization. The methodology being used was data panel regression using Common Effect Model, through 886 observations. The results were (1) partially, TATO, EPS yield, market return and exchange rate affected the stock return (2) simultaneously company’s fundamental, market return and macroeconomic affected the stock return. This means in consumer sector, investors put attention on asset management, earnings yield, market condition and macroeconomic. Therefore, the author recommended that many extended researches can be done on the financial ratios, market return and macroeconomic, using different variable, especially due to TATO affect the stock return while conversely ROA and DER were not.

Authors: Basbeth Firdaus , Che Nawi Noorshela
Published: December 2020

Despite the global emphasis on the relevance and potential impacts of entrepreneurship has dramatically increased as potent economic force, entrepreneurship education has not significantly changed in two decades. Existing approaches to entrepreneurship education are focus is on teaching ‘about’ entrepreneur and what they do rather than teaching ‘for’ entrepreneurship. Drawing on the synthesis based on theory of planned behavior (TPB), we introduce Experience Co-creation as a new approach to teach entrepreneurship course based on the concept of experiential learning. The approach for the program was synthesized and adapted from Experience co-creation (XCC) theory used in tourism literature. This study develops a longitudinal framework of student’s intention after 3 months of the infusion of experiential learning. The result indicates that students’ intention is greater after the program than before the class started. This study fills a gap in entrepreneurship body of knowledge by providing evidence the teaching method moderates the relationship between perceived behavioral control and entrepreneurial intention. This study is an empirical study uses a SmartPLS3 with data taken from survey of 220 student in Strategic Entrepreneurship APT-2083 Class L4 & L5 Sem 2 2018/19. The result demonstrates that mean value of personal attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control and entrepreneurial intention are improved, and the relationship between perceived behavioral control and entrepreneurial intention improved significantly at the end of the course. The study suggest that university can gain highest entrepreneurial intention by introducing innovative method in teaching entrepreneurship.

DUKUNGAN KESEHATAN JIWA DAN PSIKOSOSIAL (DKJPS) DALAM PELAYANAN SOSIAL LANJUT USIA PADA MASA PANDEMI COVID-19
Authors:   Program Pascasarjana Universitas Andalas, Tristanto Aris
Published: December 2020

Pandemi COVID-19 berdampak pada aspek fisiologis, psikologis, dan sosial lanjut usia. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk menggambarkan bentuk dukungan kesehatan jiwa dan psikososial (DKJPS) dalam pelayanan sosial lanjut usia pada masa pandemi COVID-19. Analisis dalam artikel ini dilakukan melalui kajian pustaka. Instrumen penulis dalam artikel ini adalah daftar check list, skema penulisan dan format catatan penulisan. Teknik analisis dalam artikel ini adalah metode analisis isi. DKJPS kepada lanjut usia dapat dilakukan melalui pelayanan sosial lanjut usia berbasis institusi (institutional based), pelayanan sosial lanjut usia berbasis komunitas (community based), dan layanan berbasis rumah tangga (home-based). Bentuk DKJPS kepada lanjut usia berbasis institusi adalah pengoptimalan kegiatan bimbingan mental, agama, dan sosial bagi lanjut usia kategori mandiri. Sedangkan untuk lanjut usia yang tidak memiliki kemandirian (bedridden), bentuk DKJPS yang dapat diberikan adalah pelayanan yang lebih intensif terutama dalam hal kesehatan. Terkait bentuk DKJPS kepada lanjut usia berbasis komunitas adalah pendamping lanjut usia oleh Lembaga Kesejahteraan Sosial Lanjut Usia. Dalam melakukan pendampingan sosial terkait DKJPS pendamping dapat mengajarkan kepada lanjut usia dan keluarganya tentang Perilaku Hidup Bersih dan Sehat. Bagi lanjut usia yang terlantar karena tinggal sendiri di rumah, pendamping sosial harus mampu menggerakkan kelompok dukungan sosial di lingkungannya. Sedangkan bentuk DKJPS kepada lanjut usia berbasis rumah tangga adalah mengaturan aktifitas yang tepat tanpa mengurangi kemandirian dari lanjut usia. Implikasi teoritis dari penulisan artikel ini yaitu lanjut usia dikatakan sehat secara mental bukan hanya terhindar dari gejala gangguan dan penyakit jiwa, tetapi berkaitan dengan penyesuaian diri yang aktif dalam menghadapi dan mengatasi masalah dengan kondisi baru.

Published: December 2020

Efforts to empower the poor communities in urban areas are still very urgent at this time. Although the number of poor communities in urban areas is decreasing, the rate is not significant. Empowerment needs to place poor urban as the main actors and the government as facilitators and motivators. This research aims to provide a scientific description of the causes of poverty and the empowerment model for the poor urban in Makassar city, South Sulawesi Province, Indonesia. The research method used is qualitative with a narrative strategy. The research participantss were as many as five low-income households in an urban area. The data collection technique used in-depth interviews with participants. Field observations were also made related to participants' social life and literature studies to strengthen the interview and observation data. Data analysis takes three ways: data reduction, data display, and verification/conclusion drawing. The result showed three factors that cause urban poverty: natural, cultural, and structural. The empowerment model was implemented by understanding the problems encountered, developing problem-solving strategies, understanding the importance of making planned changes, and strengthening the urban poor's capacity.

Transport of biomaterials in confined geometry exhibit complex dynamics, both in spatial and temporal scales. In this work, we examined the transport behavior of microalgae Chlorella Vulgaris inside the microfluidic channel under pressure-driven Poiseuille flow environment. The microalgae system is treated as the spherical naturally buoyant particles. The algae particles trajectories are visually traced using particle imaging techniques and the sample paths are resolved in stream wise (flow) and perpendicular directions. In order to understand boundary wall effects on the flow, we partitioned the microfluidic channel into three different regions, namely the center region and two near-wall boundary regions based on the velocity flow profile. Time-averaged mean square displacement (MSD), probability density function (PDF), skewness, and kurtosis of finite ensembles of particle trajectories are determined for these regions. In addition to the spatial dependencies, we also examined the transient characteristics of the algae transport at early-time and long-time. We found the existence of the mixed types for transport dynamics irrespective of flow region separation often assumed in many laminar flow simulations. This finding will be useful for optimization of mixing of algae culture in micro-scale photobiore actor as the productivity of cell growth depends critically on the cell dispersion or transport
Analytical Estimation of the Residual Drift of Reinforced Concrete Columns under the Ultimate Displacement Capacity

Published: December 2020

Reinforced concrete columns are the most important structural elements that determine the ductility of the structures. The main parameters affecting the behavior of reinforced concrete columns are axial load level, shear span, percent of longitudinal reinforcement and percent of transverse reinforcement. The aim of this study is to examine residual damage behavior of RC columns under cyclic loading similar to the earthquake loads combined depend on variable axial load level, spanning to depth ratio, longitudinal reinforcement ratio and transverse reinforcement ratio. When the results of experiments are examined, it can be seen that the residual drift ratio of reinforced concrete columns can be used to characterize the damage occurred in the structure after earthquake or loading. In addition, the performance level of the reinforced concrete columns according to the residual drift ratio is defined in FEMA356. As a result of this study, the analytical equation that calculates the residual drift ratio of the reinforced concrete columns at the ultimate displacement limit is proposed.
Now You See It, Now You Don't

The mass culling of libraries' print collections has often been questioned by librarians and library users, yet it has become more common in recent decades. Despite several high-profile controversies, the removal and subsequent disposal of large portions of physical collections are still seen by many library authorities as an effective way to create space and pave the way for innovation. Guided by a progressive series of photographs, this article examines the large-scale removal of books from Western University’s D.B Weldon Library as part of a renovation project in 2019. It also looks at the direct impact of these actions on a contemporary library research project that was undertaken by the authors. Focusing specifically on the E, HQ, and HV Library of Congress call number ranges, the changes to the stacks are shown in real time as materials are removed from the collection to be discarded or placed in storage. The authors raise questions about the functions and uses of libraries in our current neoliberal era as well as the logic of an academic library prioritizing study spaces and communal areas at the expense of a well-respected physical collection.

It has been found that the ratio of the intensity of wear of the frame of the working bodies in width to the intensity of wear in thickness remains constant at certain and constant values of the cutting edge angle and the angle of installation of the working body to the bottom of the furrow, regardless of the hardness of the soil and its mechanical composition. It is shown that an increase in the angle of installation of the working body to the bottom of the furrow leads to a dullness of the blade and increased wear compared to wear of the front surface in thickness.
