In this study, researchers will discuss the behavior that doesn’t appreciate the time or called procrastination particularly in the case of students’ academic procrastination in finishing their thesis. The target of this study is students of the last semester Islamic Guidance and Counseling Department in UIN Sunan Ampel Surabaya for the 2015-2016 academic year. In general, students have a study period of around 3.5 years up to 4 years. But not all students can finish their thesis on time. So, it makes an unrest effect on them. This occurs because it tends to delay their thesis. As a result, many students are unable to finish the thesis program within the specified time for their graduation. Therefore, there needs to be an effort to guide academic procrastination among these students. The Islamic Guidance and Counseling Department Program provides consultation, namely Islamic Counseling Guidance. The purpose of Islamic counseling guidance is to help students, so they do not give up easily in terms of facing their problems. Such as educational problems or personal problems (external or internal) and to help individuals maintain and develop good situations so as not to become a source of problems for themselves and others. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative with a survey approach. This research refers to the problems or facts that occur. The technique of collecting data is by the survey, interview, and treatment.

Published: January 2021

The quick spread of the COVID-19 disease has generated the establishment of coordination mechanisms, control and lengthy actions by actors and/or agents, which has triggered border barriers between communities and people to curb the contagion. This situation has also produced fear of infection and a survival instinct that has inevitably altered the perception of the other, which is viewed with mistrust when configuring itself as a potentially infectious person; in extreme cases there is even discrimination or exclusion.

A grey-box model of an automated people mover system (APMS) is constructed in this paper. APMS is one of the urban transit constructions that is being constructed in Indonesia and used for connecting between terminals in the airport. The APMS model can be identified to obtain the mathematical representation of the full system by finding unknown parameters through the data measured from the installed system at the airport. Generalized reduced gradient (GRG) algorithm is operated to identify the model parameters. The model can then be used for verification and testing controller designs such as proportional-integralderivative (PID) or model predictive control (MPC), and energy-saving strategies. The obtained model is able to follow the dynamic of the real APMS with RMSE value 0.013.

Uncertain nature of renewable energy sources like solar irradiation poses a serious concern of loss of power supply reliability. Battery energy storage (BES) system helps in improving system reliability by storing surplus energy generated and supplying the load in case of energy deficit. Thus BES allows improvement of microgrid performance and reduces operational cost by increasing the utilization of renewable energy sources. This paper presents an energy management strategy (EMS) to dictate the power flow among photovoltaic (PV) panels, BES and the load considering a proposed time-of-use (TOU) pricing as the control factor. Its efficacy in improving power supply reliability as well as power quality issues of a 69-bus radial distribution system (RDS) is evaluated from technical performance indices like power loss, voltage deviation index and security margin and economic performance considering costs of power import from the grid and active power loss and financial benefit from battery discharge. Grasshopper Optimization Algorithm (GOA), is used to optimize the sizes and placements of three PV-BES units to minimize an objective function aptly formulated combining the technical performance indices using weighted sum method. The results are contrasted against another two cases of with only PV and without PV and BES integration. Finally, the proposed system is analysed from economic perspective and the benefits obtained are compared. The results are evident of both technical and economic advantages of integrating both PV and BES units at optimal locations (load bus). The optimization results obtained from GOA have been compared with that from Genetic Algorithm (GA). GOA proves to be fast, effective and reliable in resolving power flow optimization problem.

Hybrid-order Network Consensus for Distributed Multi-agent Systems
Authors: Xie Guangqiang , Chen Junyu , Li Yang
Published: January 2021

As an important field of Distributed artificial intelligence (DAI), multi-agent systems (MASs) have attracted the attention of extensive research scholars. Consensus as the most important issue in MAS, much progress has been made in studying the consensus control of MAS, but there are some problems remained largely unaddressed which cause the MAS to lose some useful network structure information. First, multi-agent consensus protocol usually proceeds over the low-order structure by only considering the direct edges between agents, but ignores the higher-order structure of the whole topology network. Second, the existing work assumes all the edges in a topology network have the same weight without exploring the potential diversity of the connections. In this way, multi-agent systems fail to enforce consensus, resulting in fragmentation into multiple clusters. To address the above issues, this paper proposes a Motif-aware Weighted Multi-agent System (MWMS) method for consensus control. We focus more on triangle motif in the network, but it can be extended to other kinds of motifs as well. First, a novel weighted network is used which is the combination of the edge-based lower-order structure and the motif-based higher-order structure, i.e., hybrid-order structure. Subsequently, by simultaneously considering the quantity and the quality of the connections in the network, a novel consensus framework for MAS is designed to update agents. Then, two baseline consensus algorithms are used in MWMS. In our experiments, we use ten topologies of different shapes, densities and ranges to comprehensively analyze the performance of our proposed algorithms. The simulation results show that the hybrid higher-order network can effectively enhance the consensus of the multi-agent system in different network topologies.
Labyrinth weir outlet ramps: managing flow instability and discharge efficiency
Authors: Jorgensen Tucker , Tullis Blake P. , Crookston Brian Mark
Published: January 2021

The installation of a labyrinth weir as the crest of a stepped chute significantly influences the downstream chute inflow conditions relative to published design standards for more traditional crest shapes. A current study at the Utah Water Research Laboratory (Utah State University) evaluated a 10.67° trapezoidal labyrinth weir crest discharging into a 0.8H:1.0V stepped chute. To better direct flows into the chute and mitigate flow instabilities (i.e. flow surging), sloped ramps were placed in the labyrinth weir outlet cycles. The influence of six different ramp geometries are reported here relative to the weir discharge efficiency, flow surging and chute wall height requirements based on splash and spray depths. The labyrinth weir increased the spillway wall height required for flow containment by 200–300% relative to linear weir wall height predictive methods. The addition of ramps provided better flow transition into the stepped chute and reduced the required chute wall heights by up to 15%. Furthermore, ramp heights taller than half the weir wall height effectively reduced flow surging but increased local submergence, which decreased the discharge efficiency by up to 9%. Thus, an outlet cycle ramp geometry selection should be optimised by discharge efficiency, flow surging and chute wall height requirements.

Published: January 2021

Öyküleyici metin ve okur arasındaki etkileşimin duygusal boyutu, anlatı duyguları (empati, sempati, özdeşim, yoğunlaşma), değerlendirici duygular (estetik haz, estetik tatmin) ve biçimlendirici duygularla (duygu ve düşünce değişimleri, kişilik dönüşümü) açıklanmaktadır. Bu duygusal etkileşim, genellikle psikoloji ve bilişsel bilimler alanlarında incelenmektedir. Eğitim alanında yürütülen çalışmalarda, okuduğunu anlama sürecinde okur ve metin temelli duyguların rolü incelenmektedir. Buna göre okur öyküleyici bir metni ideal bir şekilde anlamak için metnin içerdiği duyguları ve duygusal unsurları kavramakta, analiz etmekte, yorumlamakta ve değerlendirmektedir. Bu süreçte ön bilgileri, duyguları, düşünceleri ve deneyimleriyle metni anlamlandırmakta, metne yönelik kişisel/estetik tepkide bulunmaktadır. Bu yaklaşım ulusal ve uluslararası sınavlarda (PISA, PIRLS, NAEP) ve dil öğretim programlarında (Singapur, Güney Kore, ABD, Avustralya vb.) esas alınmaktadır. Bu sınavlarda ve programlarda okuduğunu anlama becerisiyle ilgili duygusal kazanım ve duygusal yeterliklere yer verilmektedir. Ancak 2006 sonrası Türkçe dersi öğretim programları bu noktada yetersiz kalmaktadır. Benzer şekilde Türkçe ders kitapları da (öyküleyici metin, okuma etkinlikleri) duygusal içerik, duygusal etkileşim ve duygusal becerilerin kullanımı açısından yetersizlik göstermektedir. Bu nedenle güncel Türkçe dersi öğretim programının ve Türkçe ders kitaplarının yapılandırılması gerekmektedir.

Authors: Park Jeong Wook , Seo Jinyoung , Kim Sang Hun , Jung Ki Tae
Published: January 2021

Background: Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare disease caused by the deficiency of C1 esterase inhibitor. HAE has a risk of life-threatening complications such as capillary leak syndrome (CLS) and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC).Case: A 42-year-old man with HAE presented for deceased-donor kidney transplantation. Prophylactic fresh frozen plasma (FFP) was given before surgery because of the risk of edema development. With careful management during anesthesia, there were no problems during surgery. However, generalized edema, hypotension, hypoalbuminemia, massive drainage of serosanguineous fluids from the intraabdominal space, and DIC occurred on the day after surgery. CLS was suspected and sustained hypotension with generalized edema became worse despite treatment with albumin, danazol, FFP, and vasoactive drugs. The patient’s condition worsened despite intensive care and he died due to shock.Conclusions: The anesthesiologist should prepare for the critical complications of HAE and prepare the appropriate treatment options.

ABSTRAK Dampak dari pemisahan logam tanah jarang pada monasit adalah limbah cair yang mengandung unsur radioaktif torium yang berbahaya bagi lingkungan dan makhluk hidup. Metode standar dalam pemisahan torium dari limbah cair adalah dengan menggunakan resin penukar anion. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui jenis resin penukar anion, massa resin, dan waktu kontak yang optimum untuk menurunkan kadar torium dalam limbah cair monasit. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa laju penukaran optimum terjadi pada resin Amberlite IRA402 dengan waktu kontak 60 menit dan massa 1 gram yaitu sebesar 57,7%. Sementara itu, pada resin Tulsion A23, laju penukaran optimum sebesar 50,7% terjadi pada waktu kontak 50 menit dan massa resin 1 gram. Uji statistik menunjukkan tidak ada perbedaan nyata pada variasi jenis resin dan waktu kontak yang menunjukkan nilai signifikan >0,05. Pada waktu yang sama, terdapat perbedaan nyata pada variasi massa resin dengan hasil nilai signifikan <0,05. Uji Duncan menyatakan massa resin kecil (0,25 dan 0,5 gram) cocok untuk Tulsion A23 dan massa resin besar (0,75 dan1 gram) cocok untuk resin Amberlite IRA402.ABSTRACT The effect of separating rare earths from monazite is wastewater containing the radioactive element thorium which is harmful to the environment and living things. A standard method of separating thorium from wastewater is with anion-exchange resin. This study determines the optimum type of anion-exchange resin, resin weight, and contact time to reduce thorium levels in monazite wastewater. The results showed that the optimum exchange rate that occurred in Amberlite IRA402 resin is 57.7%, at 60 minutes and 1 gram. Meanwhile, the optimum exchange rate for Tulsion A23 resin is 50.7%, at 50 minutes and 1 gram. The statistical test showed that there was no significant difference in the resin type and contact time variation, which showed a considerable value >0.05. At the same time there was a substantial difference in resin mass variation with a significant value <0.05. The Duncan test stated that lighter resin masses (0.25 and 0.5 gram) are suitable for Tulsion A23 and heavier resin masses (0.75 and 1 gram) are ideal for Amberlite IRA402.

Published: January 2021

The problem of broadband matching of active elements in terms of noise figure is inevitably encountered in the design of broadband low-noise microwave amplifiers. Despite the fact that this problem differs from the classical problem of broadband matching of signal source and load, it can be reduced to a form suitable for applying methods for solving the classical problem. For this purpose, in this work, the own parameters of a reactive two-port network are derived that match active elements in terms of noise figure in the entire frequency band, where the data for calculating this coefficient are determined. The own parameters of such a two-port network, on the one hand, make it possible to construct methods for the synthesis of input matching circuits of low-noise amplifiers and other devices where low noise matching is required. On the other hand, the own parameters allow one to construct estimates of the maximum achievable bandwidth for a matching circuit of a given complexity.

The World capital of reggaeton: Verbal framing of Medellin in online media discourse
Authors: Mykhalonok Mariia
Published: January 2021

This article examines linguistic framing of Medellin as the city of the musical genre reggaeton in online media discourse, drawing on Fillmore’s frame semantics theory (1977). The most salient frames applied towards Medellin are those of centrality, home, and music, whereby the city’s global significance as a musical hub is emphasized through the terms belonging to the frame of world. The use of components from the frames of crime and drugs suggests that the drug-related past of Medellin is integrated into its new cultural profile. Another part of the new Medellin brand are the city’s residents themselves, who are credited with supporting local reggaetonero/as, and are typically referred to with overtly positive vocabulary from the frames of love, help, and home. Although some texts evoke negative stereotypes about reggaeton, the media mostly present the Medellin reggaeton scene through the frames of success, power, and business.

Egoístas y autómatas del capitalismo global
Authors: Segura Lazcano Gustavo A.
Published: January 2021

La globalización capitalista configura un nuevo orden social fundado en el individualismo egoísta. El libre mercado instaura propósitos y sentidos de vida que no favorecen las experiencias empáticas y solidarias entre los seres humanos. A lo largo de la historia han existido diversas matrices culturales y modelamientos del ego, que han sido determinantes para la convivencia social. El egoísmo exaltado por la globalización capitalista propicia acumulación y disputas por la riqueza material. El avance técnico a escala mundial amplia el dominio de algunos sectores económicos sobre el resto de la sociedad.  La presencia creciente de autómatas en la vida cotidiana provoca el desplazamiento de trabajadores, invasión de la privacidad y el control de las expectativas de las mayorías demográficas.  Es a través del cuestionamiento generalizado del rumbo civilizatorio que podrá emerger en el presente siglo nuevas y mejores perspectivas de humanismo

A Narrative Review on Biopsychosocial Predictors of Cognitive Impairment among Multiple Sclerosis Patients: Directions for Malaysia Studies
Authors: CHONG JIA WEARN , CHE DIN NORMAH , JOYCE PAULINE JOSEPH
Published: January 2021

Cognitive impairment is the most disabling symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Researchers have been studying factors that could predict cognitive impairment among MS patients hoping to alleviate its consequences and gather indicators of the disease progression. However, there were limited up-to-date articles that review the predictors of cognitive impairment among MS patients. In Malaysia, the topic about cognitive functioning in MS was absent. This review aims to identify and synthesize the research evidence concerning biopsychosocial variables on cognitive impairment among this population for future directions in Malaysia researches. A narrative review was performed by identifying research articles from year 2004 to 2019 through PubMed, EBSCOhost, Scopus and Google Scholar. Full-text articles meeting the selection criteria were included for qualitative synthesis. A total of 12 studies were included. Studies included in this paper found that age, course of disease and anxiety predicts cognitive functioning. Mixed results were found among variables such as gender, disability, fatigue, burden of lesion, depression and educational level. Stress was correlated with cognitive functioning but it was not a significant predictor. Although many factors were found to affect cognitive functioning among MS patients, evidence provided from this review indicates that their relationships might not be linear and direct.

Today, increasingly more people worldwide are aware about Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). However, their actual understanding about ASD is yet unknown. In this study, the lay knowledge on the social communication and language deficits of ASD was investigated using a brief survey involving an elite sample in Malaysia. The survey findings revealed that the vast majority of the respondents had superficial understanding about the social communication and language deficits of ASD. In general, they could relate to ASD as a type of learning disability, but they were less familiar with the diagnostic features and remedial needs of ASD. Another key finding was that the respondents reported different sources of obtaining ASD knowledge according to their demographic profiles (namely age, gender, education and occupation), which correspondingly led to variability in the type of knowledge they obtained. Together, the findings implied that content-specific ASD awareness programs through the right channels are warranted for optimizing efficacy in knowledge transfer and minimizing redundancy in existing ASD awareness campaigns. Increased lay knowledge on ASD will provide a public guardian ground for children with ASD to ensure that the challenges faced by them can be identified at an early age for optimizing the remedial outcomes.

Exercise selection is one of the crucial factors in designing a comprehensive training program. The exposure of different exercise selection may stimulate the specific adaptation imposed demand. In the construction of any resistance training (RT) program, it is important to choose whether to apply bilaterally (BI) or unilaterally (UNI) exercise. The present study aimed to look into the physiological responses of blood glucose (BG) between UNI and BI RT. The quantitative research method was used, RT (UNI versus BI training) as the independent variables whereas BG set as the dependent variable. In order to measure training effects following a single bout of different training intervention (UNI versus BI), a crossover experimental pre and post-test design were implemented. A total of sixteen (n = 16) trained women with a mean age of 23 (SD = 1.35) years old went through a single bout of RT involved a total body exercise using major muscles group with 80% of 1RM for each protocol (UNI and BI) for 10 repetitions to maximal effort (for 3 sets). Crossover design would be more accurate in exposing different training protocol to a similar characteristic of individuals as compared using different individuals. The results revealed that blood glucose (BG) was statistically changed (p < .001) across times, and finding shows there is no difference between training protocols (p = .39). Based on the results, it would be interesting to observe the blood glucose and/or energy metabolism between UNI versus BI RT during exercise as well as to investigate the relationship between BG and calories expenditure during exercises. Future research on UNI versus BI RT could venture onto other populations such as the untrained women, men population, elderly and specific population such as diabetic population in order to further understand the physiology of human body responded towards exercise. Other types of hormones analysis including insulin, growth hormone, and cortisol can be included. Besides, future research should consider a long run study that involves chronic adaptation of RT on the human body in order to prevent and alleviate disease.

This is a retrospective study, the organ doses to the bladder and rectum were compared between Nucletron PLATO V14.2.3 (BV) and newer version software Oncentra MasterPlan V4.3 (OMP) treatment planning systems (TPS). The treatment data of 32 intracavitary brachytherapy patients at Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia from January 2010 to June 2015 were used. These data sets were used for catheter reconstruction for both PLATO and OMP TPS followed by independent verification using Excel. There is no significant difference in mean doses to organs at risk (OARs) that calculated by both TPS (p>0.05). The mean percentage of doses calculated by PLATO TPS for bladder and rectum were 66.58 ± 27.42 % and 46.27 ± 14.47 % respectively. While the mean percentage of doses for bladder and rectum calculated by OMP TPS were 65.68 ± 24.24 % and 46.46 ± 16.66 respectively. The mean percentage difference in doses comparison between independent verification calculation and PLATO TPS was 1.96 ± 6.00% and then became 6.37 ± 5.17% when it was compared with OMP TPS. Overall, the dose calculation differences for both versions of TPS were within the range recommended by Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). The dose calculations of the two treatment planning systems showed good agreement and both could be used in planning intracavitary brachytherapy for cervical cancer. Whereas Excel based independent verification suitable to be implemented as routine dose verification programme prior to treatment delivery.

Kanak – kanak kurang upaya memerlukan pemulihan yang komprehensif dan berterusan. Pusat Pemulihan dalm Komuniti (PDK) telah dibina untuk memenuhi keperluan ini dan telah memberi manfaat kepada semua peringkat umur dalam kalangan masyarakat bandar dan luar bandar. Di Malaysia, kerajaan telah membiayai sebahagian besar pemulihan kanak – kanak kurang upaya di PDK. Walau bagaimanapun, setakat ini kajian mengenai keberhasilan PDK untuk kanak – kanak kurang upaya di negara ini amat terhad. Kajian ini bertujuan menentukan keberhasilan program pemulihan serta mengenalpasti faktor-faktor yang berkaitan dengannya dalam kalangan kanak-kanak kurang upaya di PDK. Sejumlah 220 orang kanak – kanak kurang upaya berumur 4 hingga 18 tahun dan 220 penjaga daripada 29 pusat PDK di Pahang, Terengganu dan Kelantan telah menyertai kajian. Keberhasilan program ditentukan dari aspek perubahan tahap keupayaan dalam aktiviti harian menggunakan Indeks Barthel selepas 6 bulan menjalani PDK. Faktor berkait yang dikaji ialah umur, jenis kurang upaya, skor asas Indeks Barthel, jenis program yang diikuti dan kekerapan kehadiran ke sesi terapi. Hasil kajian menunjukkan terdapat peningkatan kecil dalam Indeks Barthel, min perubahan ± SP bersamaan 0.90 ± 4.54 (p=0.003) selepas pemulihan. Tahap kehadiran ke sesi terapi adalah rendah iaitu < 50% menunjukkan kehadiran tiga perempat atau penuh dari keseluruhan sesi terapi yang ditawarkan. Semua faktor yang dikaji didapati tidak mempunyai kaitan dengan perubahan skor Indeks Barthel (p>0.05) kecuali jenis program yang diikuti (r=0.14, p=0.03). Sebagai kesimpulan, keberhasilan pemulihan yang diperolehi melalui PDK amat kecil bagi tempoh latihan yang dijalani. Implementasi program perlu dinilai dan ditambahbaik bagi meningkatkan manfaatnya terhadap kanak-kanak kurang upaya.
An Old Couple in a New Setting: Franco-German Leadership in the Post-Brexit EU
Authors: Krotz Ulrich , Schramm Lucas
Published: January 2021

What are the implications of Brexit for the nature, role, and potential of Franco-German leadership in the EU? Brexit, we contend, is both an expression and a further cause of two broader underlying developments in the contemporary EU: First, a stronger and more prominent German part and position, and second, disintegrative tendencies in several EU policy fields and the EU polity as a whole. This, in turn, has major implications for Franco-German bilateralism and for Franco-German leadership in the EU. In light of a stronger Germany, a relatively weaker France, and significant centrifugal forces, the two largest EU member states must not only realign their bilateral relationship but must also act as a stabilizer in and for the EU. We show that during the EU’s recent crises, not least during the Brexit negotiations and the recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic, France and Germany did exercise joint leadership. We also show, however, that major discrepancies persist between the two countries in particular policy fields and with regard to longer-term European objectives. Brexit, with its numerous calamities and implications, thus once again moves Franco-German leadership—and its shortcomings—to center stage in Europe. When it comes to leadership in the EU, there remains no viable alternative to the Franco-German duo. Yet, in order to provide constructive leadership and successfully shape the EU, the two countries must bridge substantial differences and be ready to carry disproportionately high burdens.
The Ordinary Legislative Procedure in a Post-Brexit EU: The Case of Social Europe
Authors: Copeland Paul
Published: January 2021

This article assesses the political and power dynamics of the Ordinarily Legislative Procedure (OLP) in social Europe and the likely impact of the UK’s departure in the field for future integration. It provides a detailed analysis of the OLP in social Europe during two recent periods of integration in the field—the first Barroso Commission (2004–2009) and the Juncker Commission (2014–2019). It finds the dynamics of the OLP have shifted from intergovernmental deadlock during the Barroso Commission to the characteristics of a new intergovernmental core state power during the Juncker Commission, even though the policy area is not a core state power per se. Despite the use of qualified majority voting policy agreements can only be achieved when there is near unanimity support in the Council, the Commission remains a neutral broker, and the Parliament shifts its position to that of the Council. As a result, continued opposition to integration in social Europe by Northern and Eastern Members means the removal of UK political agency will have only a marginal impact on the slow and piecemeal approach to integration in the field.
Explaining Cooperation in the Council of the EU Before and After the Brexit Referendum
Authors: Johansson Markus
Published: January 2021

This article focuses on the impact of the UK’s decision to leave the EU on cooperation within the Council of the EU. It does so by studying how cooperation between member states has changed from the period before the Brexit referendum to the period after. In the emerging literature on Brexit, it has been highlighted that member states that have been close partners to the UK will have to (and have started to) adjust their cooperation behaviour and form new alliances. While the structure of cooperation in the Council is often understood to be stable over time, suggesting that cooperation is mainly driven by structurally determined preferences that don’t easily change, a major event such as Brexit may force remaining member states to restructure their cooperation behaviour. Accordingly, it is expected and tested whether less structurally determined preferences have grown in importance for shaping patterns of cooperation in the immediate period following the Brexit referendum. Using survey data based on interviews with member state negotiators to the Council, asking about their network ties, compiled both in the period before and after Brexit referendum of 2016, it is shown that structurally determined preferences are important in both periods and that more volatile ideologically-based preferences on the EU integration dimension and GAL-TAN dimension have become important following the referendum. The article is informative both for those interested in the effects of Brexit on EU institutions, as well as those more generally interested in causes of cooperation patterns in the Council.
