Authors: Ichwana Ichwana , Nasution Zulkifli , Arip Munawar Agus
Published: May 2020

Groundwater quality in agricultural area is highly affected by human activities. To determine groundwater quality, several methods are widely applied. Yet, most of them are based on standard laboratory analysis which is normally time consuming, expensive, and involve chemical materials from which may cause another environmental pollution. Thus, a rapid, effective and simple alternative method is required to assess groundwater quality. Fourier transform near-infrared spectroscopy (FT-NIRS) is considered to be employed due to its advantages. The main purpose of the present study, is to evaluate the feasibility of FT-NIRS technology in assessing groundwater quality parameters: total dissolved solids (TDS) and Sulfate concentration (SC). Transmission spectra data were acquired for groundwater samples from 8 different wells in wavelength range from 1000 to 2500 nm. Spectra data were corrected by multiplicative signal correction (MSC), while TDS and SC prediction models were established by using partial least squares regression (PLSR) and validated by full cross validation method. Obtained results showed that FTIR is able to detect and predict TDS and SC rapidly. Achieved maximum correlation coefficient (r) and RPD index were 0.86; 1.82 for TDS and 0.83; 1.76 for SC prediction respectively. It may be concluded that FT-NIRS combined with proper multivariate approach, can be used to assess groundwater quality parameters rapidly and simultaneously.

Results show that the motion of hydraulic actuator is stable with good response for tillage depth control, while the maximum lifting force of 10.62kN and the static settlement value of 13mm all meet the standard requirements. And the oil pressure changes rapidly with a large fluctuation with the plough position changed from transportation state to tillage state, but it quickly stabilizes, and as the tillage depth becomes larger, the oil pressure drops but remains basically stable with the maximum oil pressure change of 0.35MPa.
December 1989 and the concept of revolution in the prose of Romanian women writers
Authors: Manolachi Monica
Published: May 2020

Whenever the topic of revolution is at stake nowadays, Romanian people from different walks of life usually think of December 1989. The tragic events that led to the regime change have left a permanent mark on many people’s lives. Many contemporary writers and critics have written about it, but there is still a long way until the individual and the cultural trauma is healed. Since little has been published in English about the literary work of contemporary Romanian women writers, this paper aims to culturally translate the subject and to provide insights into their perspectives. From a theoretical point of view, it explores the perceptions of the concept of revolution seen either as a change of direction (a moment in time) or as a cyclical process (a flowing gyre). The selected corpus includes: a poetic novel, The Fox Was Ever the Hunter by Herta Müller; a diary, The Witnessing Wall by Florența Albu; a novel made of individual stories, One Sky Above Them by Ruxandra Cesereanu; a family chronicle, The Immigrant from Biggin Hill by Lăcrămioara Stoenescu; and a first-person retrospective novel, Fontana di Trevi by Gabriela Adameșteanu. Each of them tackles the idea of revolution in a distinct manner, which suggests the existence of a literary corpus by women writers that resonates in various ways with the original conflict and contributes significantly to its cultural memory.
On Eminescu’s philosophy of history: towards an English anthology of relevant texts
Authors: Pavel Catalin
Published: May 2020

The present paper aims to offer Anglophone researchers a selection of translated quotes from Mihai Eminescu’s non-literary oeuvre, relevant to the philosophy of history of the most complex Romanian author of the nineteenth century. It should thus become possible to reconsider Eminescu’s position within the concert of European philosophers of history. The fragments gathered here stem mainly from his activity as a cultural and political journalist, throughout which he voiced, albeit unsystematically, his views on history. Although he did not ultimately articulate an academic philosophy of history per se, these fragments, now available in English for the first time, may give valuable insights into Eminescu’s conception of history. Above all else, they meaningfully complement whatever can be gleaned from Eminescu’s already translated poetry or literary prose. Hopefully the fragments presented here will aid scholars in establishing more precisely what Eminescu’s views on history owe to Schopenhauer’s metaphysics and what to the proper philosophy of history he could find in Hegel. This is a double allegiance scholars have also recognized in Maiorescu’s work. By the same token, it would further be important to chart Eminescu’s ambivalence towards Hegel, an ambivalence also visible in the works of Romanian philosopher Vasile Conta. Finally, the fragments below may help to bring to the fore the complex interplay between Hegelian theodicy and Kantian teleology in Eminescu’s historical thought.

Today’s power systems era is speedily going towards natural sources of power. The power system is also in the mode of decentralization. Decentralize means to split a large power system into small, safe and smart power grid or to create microgrid. This decentralization required separate control of each part of the power system. It can reduce the complexity of the large power system; provide efficient and economical installation and easy operation. To keep our globe healthy; green sources of electrical energy like solar, wind tidal, biomass are the best option for the power sector. Integrating green power sources in a decentralized power system needs better planning and upgraded technology. To deal with uncertainties of Green power sources, the first step is to estimate output power. In this paper output power with the uncertain nature of sources is estimated and analyzed to integrating green power sources. For it, the statistic model of solar and wind power generation has been discussed. Probable distribution of wind speed and solar irradiation is found using available mean data. Output power Generation of wind and solar sources are estimated based on the probability distribution curve and power equation. It has analyzed for different value of shape parameter Here mean wind speed and mean solar irradiation data of one town of Gujarat state, India has been collected for the planning of microgrid.

Arrhythmia is one in all the foremost well-liked heart diseases that might result in serious consequences. In case of arrhythmia, the heart rate may be either too fast or slow. When a person suffers from arrhythmic the heart may not pump sufficient blood to all body parts that is necessary for circulation. some of the symptoms of arrhythmia includes faintness ,fluttering your chest, a light headedness or dizziness, fainting or near fainting and on the worst it may turn out to be deadly causing ventricular fibrillation. Due to this it is very crutial to detect conditions of arrhythmia. It is very difficult to identify the symptoms of arrhythmia from a long ECG record. This projects presents a VLSI based design of high speed and minimum area for arrhythmia detection .It uses arithmetic distribution discrete wavelet transform for arrhythmia detection of QRS wave and is implemented using CADENCE. The purpose of distributive arithmetic discrete wavelet change is to compress the ECG signal. ECG signals are generated via MATLAB. The resultant of these coefficients are given to the LUT, which comprises of MIT-BIH databases. Our aim is to detect the QRS complex in the ECG signal and to identify the time and frequency variations. By comparing these variations with that of the reference variations produced in the normal ECG waveform it is easy to identify whether the patient is suffering from arrhythmia or not. The coding was written in verilog and stimulated in modelsim software and implemented using CADENCE tool.

IoT (Internet of things) equipments is used heavily, but they are poor in security issue and security can be pierced. Also the message that the IoT device transmit is the main cause for their security lapse. that the IoT devices send may lead to the breach of users’ privacy. To make the communication secure between IoT nodes and servers, a lightweight cryptographic algorithm using pseudo stream and trigonometric function with dynamic key is proposed. This algorithm works in different phases, the first is mutual authentication followed by key synchronization and then a trigonometry function for encryption and decryption, with updation of key after specific time period. The algorithm assures that the IoT node will not be overloaded and the security is enhanced by reducing the chance of cryptanalysis. The mutual authentication, session key synchronization and updation of session key are completed through several encrypted communication. Here, the key length and update cycle are variable to prevent attack. We compare the security and performance for mutual authentication, with some light weight authentication scheme and performance of encryption algorithm are compared to other algorithm like Hill Cipher, RC4, RSA. According to analysis the proposed mutual authentication and secret key for session synchronization can provide more security features with low over head of communication which is suitable for protect communication security of IoT with limited resource and power. The encryption decryption algorithm provides better performance. Trigonometric concept is used in the design of encryption decryption algorithm.

Now a days ECG signal plays an important role in the primary diagnosis and analysis of cardiac diseases and abnormalities present in the heart. Due to the presence of artifacts, the analysis of the ECG is difficult. Therefore, undesirable noise and signals should be removed or eliminated from the ECG in order to ensure proper analysis and diagnosis. Denoising is the process s used to separate original ECG signal from noise to obtain desired noise-free signal. In this paper to eliminate Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) a hybrid approach EMD-DWT (Empirical mode Decomposition-Discrete Wavelet Transform) is used. To measure the performance RMSE, SNR, PSNR and CC values are used and all the simulations are carried out using MATLAB.

The power distributing system based on DVR is integrated by Super conducting Fault Current Limiter gives a viable solution to attain the stabilization of voltage magnitudes where the sensitive load and voltage sag effects are minimized. Over different compensation devices, the vastly recognized multi-use dynamic voltage restorer is integrated with superconducting fault current limiter to get improved features for power quality. In this paper, novel DVR integrated with SFCL was developed effectively to improve the bus voltage as well as to suppress the fault current. It is observed that the capacity of proposed DVR along with SFCL is decreased with increased voltage at the bus when compared with single DVR method. The cost also less for this proposed method than the single DVR system. It is also observed that output power compensated and also total harmonic distortions can be reduced in this proposed method. In the proposed system by adopting the tool like MAT LAB / SIMULINK the disadvantages of single DVR method like using inverter for three level voltage source, high rating of filters, poor efficiency with respect to system performance etc., are resolved with improvised power along with reduction in total harmonic distortions.

Published: May 2020

Asynchronous motors used in applications like electric vehicles require protection against all possible fault conditions like short circuit, over voltage, over current etc., for their reliable operation. 3-phase inverter is used as power modulator for induction motor. In this paper a novel fault protection scheme is implemented for inverter used in modulating voltage and frequency of power supply driving 3-phase Induction Motor. Function of gate drive circuits used in power electronics converters is to provide isolation for gate signals and shift the voltage level of gate pulses to the required level to enable turn on and turn off the switches as desired. Gate signals are generated using Texas instrument F28069M board. Level shifting is achieved by buffer ICs and fault protection is provided by enabling shut down pin in the DSP on occurrence of fault. Hardware results show that modulation index of gate signals is set to zero under fault conditions and ensure total safety of Inverter driver circuit and power circuit used in the Inverter.

The heart rate variability (HRV) is a noninvasive way properly for investigating the activity of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) as well as to predict cardiovascular diseases. To guarantee an accurate HRV analysis, a motion artifact-free HRV recording must be obtained. However, complete removal of a motion artifact is impossible when measuring heartbeats for 5 min, and the motion artifact due to sudden ANS activity must be taken into consideration for the HRV parameters. And, the ANS balance has thus far been evaluated by each individual HRV parameter calculated for a single 5 min HRV segment, leading to the dynamic activity of the ANS within the same period being ignored. Therefore, to resolve this problem, HRV parameters for ultra-short-term segments that are short enough to reflect a sudden motion artifact must be analyzed. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of a motion artifact on the variation in HRV parameters to provide detailed information on ANS activity. The 121 ultra-short-term HRV segments were created by moving a 1-min window forward by a time shift interval of 2 s for the entire 5 min HRV segment. The ratios of Ln LF to Ln HF in these ultra-short-term segments and a single 5 min segment with a motion artifact were 0.89 and 1.06, respectively, while those in a motion artifact-free HRV segment were 0.75 and 0.93, respectively. This variation test for a short-term motion artifact and motion artifact-free HRV dataset was found to affect the SDNN (7.73 and 2.68), SD2 (11.44 and 4.42), TINN (40.33 and 9.92), and Ln HF (0.37 and 0.13) the most in terms of the standard deviation, respectively. Taken together, the mean HRV parameters of many ultra-short-term segments might play an important role in evaluating dynamic ANS activities within a short-term segment, avoiding the false conclusions made by the traditional HRV analysis.

The authors argue that outsourcing technology should be implemented into governance systems with consideration of their public or private nature. Functional review as a method of the administrative reform study showed lack of market-based governance methods, which proved to be effective in the private sector. Authors consider how market-oriented were introduced into the national security system of Russian Federation. The authors’ aim is to find out the reasons for current state of affairs. Outsourcing was considered as such an innovative method of public administration, which was supposed to help to save financial resources and to leave governance structures from their usual functions. An analysis of outsourcing practices in the Russian army shows that instead of saving money, the cost of services received on the market increased by many times, and its use in the Armed Forces increased threats to national security instead of getting preferences.

Мазкур мақолада француз тилидаги ономатопик феъллар орқали ҳосил бўлган фразеологик бирликларнинг инсон руҳиятига хос ички кечинмаларни ифодалаш усуллари борасида фикр юритилган. Шунингдек, инсон ҳис-туйғуларини ифодаловчи руҳий вазиятлар тасвирини акс эттирувчи бундай ибораларнинг семантик майдони, уларнинг пайдо бўлиш характери, давомийлик даражаси, нутқда қўлланиш ҳоллари ҳамда ўзига хос маъно оттенкалари француз тилидаги турли хил ономатопик феъллар мисолида таҳлил қилинди. Хусусан, уларнинг таркибий элементлари ўртасидаги турлича семантик муносабатлар инсонларга хос ҳар қандай ички кечинмалар асосида пайдо бўладиган ғазаб, жаҳл, қўрқув, қувонч, завқ каби руҳий жараёнларни акс эттириши кўрсатиб ўтилди. Бунинг асосида турли хил ҳайвон ва қушларнинг товушларига тақлид қилиш асосида ясалган ономатопик феъллар фразеологик бирликлар ясаш жараёнида сермаҳсул манбалардан бири эканлигига ҳамда ушбу ҳолат француз фразеологиясида кенг тарқалган образли ўхшатиш орқали амалга ошиши ва унда асосий ўхшатиш эталони муҳим аҳамият касб этишига алоҳида эътибор қаратилди. Шу билан бирга, ушбу мақолада инсон ички кечинмаларининг ўзига хос ифода шаклларини фарқловчи лисоний белгиларни қидириш ва уларни тизимлаштириш француз фразеологиясида ўзига хос аҳамият касб этиши кўрсатиб ўтилди.
Academics as Arbiters: Promoting Equity and Cultural Responsibility in Group-based Study Abroad
Authors: Johnstone Christopher , Smith Tiffany Lachelle , Malmgren Jodi

Study abroad is a high impact practice, touted as a tool for developing global and intercultural awareness. In 2017/18, of the nearly 350,000 U.S. students who studied abroad, sixty-five percent participated in “short-term” programs (IIE, 2018). Short-term programs are often administered as group opportunities, in which students undertake experiential education activities with fellow classmates in a host country. In this study, students from populations that have been historically under-represented in study abroad reflected on their experiences within group programs by centering their unique identities and analyzing how particular identities influenced their experiences within the group and host country. Experiences ranged from agentic and empowering to prejudicial and isolating. For example, some students relied on faculty members to mediate interactions among and between the group and host society. In some cases, instructors provided supportive facilitation while, in others, instructors avoided challenging confrontations and difficult conversations. The group itself, and the group leader, are critical units of analysis for understanding the educational and cross-cultural dimensions of study abroad. Abstract in Spanish El estudio en el extranjero se define como una actividad de alto impacto y se promueve como herramienta para desarrollar tanto la conciencia global como intercultural. En el año 2017/2018, el sesenta y cinco por ciento de los 350.000 estudiantes estadounidenses que estudiaron en el extranjero participaron en programas de “estadía corta” (IIE 2018). Los programas de estadía corta son desarrollados como oportunidades para interactuar en grupo donde cada estudiante vive experiencias educativas junto a sus compañeros en un país anfitrión. En este estudio, se pidió que estudiantes provenientes de poblaciones que, históricamente, no han estudiado en el extranjero reflexionaran sobre sus experiencias en programas grupales de estadía corta. La reflexión se hizo desde sus propias identidades y el análisis de cómo sus identidades influenciaron las experiencias dentro del grupo y en el país anfitrión. Los estudiantes reportaron experiencias que les dieron agencia y empoderamiento y otras que fueron perjudiciales o provocaron sentimientos de aislamiento. Por ejemplo, algunos estudiantes esperaban que sus profesores mediaran las interacciones entre el grupo y con el país anfitrión. En algunos casos los instructores proveyeron ayuda que facilitó dichas interacciones. En otros casos, los instructores evitaron tener conversaciones difíciles. Tanto el grupo como el líder del grupo son unidades de análisis que se deben incluir para entender las dimensiones educativas e interculturales del estudio en el extranjero.
Queering Study Abroad: Web-Based Outreach to LGBTQ+ University Students by Study Abroad Programs
Authors: Hipple Erin , Soltis Dani , Hyers Lauri

Effective outreach to queer/LGBTQ+ students is an important part of higher educational efforts to encourage their participation in study abroad opportunities. To explore the prevalence and nature of online outreach to queer students, we quantitatively and qualitatively analyzed the study abroad program webpages of 38 higher educational institutions with distinguished reputations in international studies. Outreach to queer status was one of the most common types, along with outreach to ethnicity and disability status. Queer outreach varied as a function of institution type, occurring twice as often by public than by private universities, and seven times as often by secular than by religiously-affiliated universities. Using thematic analysis, we found that a majority of queer outreach content was generated by organizations external to the study abroad office, and in-house generated content was a combination of cautionary and inviting. We discuss ways to improve study abroad outreach to queer students in higher education.*

PROTOTYPE AUTOMATIC LIGHTS CONTROL SYSTEM IN THE MOSQUE AREA BASED ON ARDUINO NANO
Authors: Rochman Sagita , Yunianto Bagus Ilham
Published: May 2020

To turn on and turn off lights in the mosque area in general still use a manual system that is to turn off and turn on the lights using a switch located on the wall. Therefore, currently a system that has been designed automatically is needed to control the light of life and the outages of lights based on a predetermined time and based on the detection of human presence, so that the lights will turn on and off automatically at the set time according to needs, namely using Real Time Clock (RTC) and Passive Infrared Receiver (PIR) sensors. The results obtainedin the form of a light controller system in the area of the mosque using DS3231 RTC and Arduino Nano At mega 328P PIR Sensor. At 3:00 and 17:00 the condition of the lights is on and at 05:30 and 21:00 the lights are off. For the measurement of PIR sensor detection distance, the distance of 5 meters of the PIR sensor can still detect the presence of human movements, after 5 meters or even 6 meters of the PIR sensor cannot detect human movement. So that within a distance of 6 meters or more, the toilet lights cannot turn on automatically or turn off.
