Kebijakan Pendidikan Sebagai Kebijakan Publik dalam Sistem Politik di Indonesia
Authors: Maskuri Maskuri
Published: July 2019

In the history of Indonesian, education policy has always been dynamic. Before independence until the reform era of education policy can not be separated from the political system. We know that education policy as part of education policy is a political product. Political configuration in every era of state political leadership has always changed according to the political wind and the configuration of political rulers. However, forces outside the governance system, such as educational community groups, will give color to the education system. When the political system demands the centralization of power, the education system will also concentrate on a centralized government. With the flow of reforms, it has spawned many changes in the education system. Several articles, even the law which, according to the public, lack attention to the aspect of education itself, are sued to the Constitutional Court. Along with the policy of regional autonomy, education policy must be able to adjust to the development of society in autonomous regions. This necessarily requires the creativity of leaders in the region in terms of promoting education in the region in accordance with the aspirations of the community.

Architectural and planning solutions in the construction of industrial and civil buildings in the south of Russia
Authors: S.N. Vladimirov
Published: July 2019

The article discusses the design and construction of industrial facilities and civil buildings in hot and dry climate on the territory of The South of Russia. In the design of buildings in these areas must consider the flow of heat radiation from the Sun, especially in summer. When you create a comfortable environment in these regions the preference is for air conditioning and ventilation. To achieve comfort, it is important to reduce the number of Windows and skylights. To avoid overheating, it is necessary to have knowledge about the characteristics of building materials. Choice of construction material should be based on its thermal properties, and consequently on the time lag of the heat flux. Dense heavy materials such as clay, brick and stone, have a very high heat-storage capacity: heating and cooling occurs slowly, therefore, in hot climates they have a big advantage, providing coolness in the room. The income source of heat and heat loss, which is often ignored by designers, are also large areas of glazing in buildings. Widespread use of large areas of glazing in buildings for dry hot climate led to the development of different types of sun protection devices.

The article discusses the modes of irrigation and mineral nutrition of carrots during growth in the Moscow region. Research objective – improvement of the planning process irrigation regimes carrots, saving water and energy resources, on the basis of improving the accuracy of the calculation methods for the measurement of water consumption given the variability in hydrometeorological conditions. According to the results of the research showed that for soddy soils of the forest zone in high-draught year is optimal irrigation regime 85-85-85 % of water holding capacity (HB) and wet year – 80-70-70 % of HB. The optimal dose of mineral fertilizers is N100P100K185. The author found that the yield of carrot is strongly influenced by low air temperature and moisture supply in the first phenological phase of development, phase in the rest of the carrot is the least demanding to hydrometeorological conditions. The experimental results showed that to implement water-saving regimes can only be based on comprehensive information about agrometeorlogical and hydrogeological conditions in specific landscapes, with obligatory consideration of the biological features of crops, variability of hydrometeorological conditions in space and time, and the nonlinear nature of the interaction of external and internal factors determining the water regime, evapotranspiration and yield of crops.

Published: July 2019

In the Russian Federation a unique phenomenon of nature as the reserves of phosphate raw materials and reserves of associated components are Apatite-nepheline ores of the Khibiny Deposit, located in the Central part of the Kola Peninsula. The main consumer of this raw material are the plants basic chemistry, processing of Apatite in a wet-process phosphoric acid sulfuric acid decomposition (the city of Cherepovets, Balakovo, the resurrection, etc.). This gives a dihydrate or hemihydrate wet-process phosphoric acid, and piecework output of dry phosphogypsum is 4 to 6 t per 1 t Apatite, depending on the ratio therein of CaO/P2O5 and the method of obtaining. The problem of disposing of chemical wastes are illustrated by various examples. Provides a conclusion on the feasibility of processing into fertilizer of phosphate raw materials, and scarce Apatite – to obtain construction materials. First developed a fundamentally new, environmentally friendly technology to produce phosphoric and complex fertilizers on the basis of wet mechanical activation of the phosphate. Methods have been pilot tested in the experimental shop at Moscow Production Association «Phosphate» (Voskresensk) using (0.3 t/h) and industry – to Estimate povorotniki (Aksai) (1.0 t/h) on the basis of vibrating mills. The implementation of methods obtained new types of fertilizers: granular and suspended mechanically activated phosphates and ammophosphate. It is concluded that from the point of view of environmental safety and economic feasibility of fertilizer phosphate should be recycled raw materials, and scarce Apatite should be directed to the production of construction materials oncooking phosphate with the simultaneous extraction and recovery of rare earth elements.

MISSION STATEMENTS AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE IN LATIN-AMERICAN FIRMS
Authors: Cortés-Sánchez Julián David , Rivera Liliana
Published: July 2019

Mission statements (MSs) are one of the most widespread managerial practices. However, a deeper understanding of the relationship between MS’s characteristics and firms’ financial performance is still necessary. The vast majority of the research on this topic has been performed on companies of the global north, rather than global south. The present study addresses this literature gap through a qualitative and quantitative analysis of MS characteristics (i.e., keywords and readability) for Latin-American firms and their relationship to financial performance. The content analysis of the MS was conducted using Voyant Tools, the MS readability was measured through six readability indices (i.e., FI, FKRE, FKGL, SMOG, CL and ARI) and the relationship between MS readability and financial performance was determined using regression analysis (i.e., OLS). The results of the content analysis suggest differences among industries and an international convergence toward isomorphism regarding key terms. The results of the quantitative analysis revealed a positive relationship between MS readability and return on assets (ROA) and return on equity (ROE). These results suggest a positive relation of the MS on a company’s long-term financial performance, highlighting the importance of having a readable MS.

SADIE (Spatial Analysis by Distance Indices) is designed specifically to quantify patterns in spatially-referenced count-based data. It was developed for dealing with data that can be considered ‘patchy’. Such distributions are commonly found, for example, in insect populations where discrete patches of individuals are often evident. The distributions of such populations have ‘hard edges’, with patches and gaps occurring spatially. In these cases variance of abundance does not vary smoothly, but discontinuously. In this paper we outline the use of SADIE and provide free access to the SADIE software suite, establishing Rethinking Ecology as its permanent home. Finally, we review the use of SADIE and demonstrate its use in a wide variety of sub-disciplines within the general field of ecology.

Avtor navaja primere brez jasno opredeljenega spraševalca in intervjuvanca, kakor tudi brez zapisa dogajanja kot zgodbe. Posledično se sprašuje, kaj vse ustna zgodovina lahko sporoča, če si komunikacija, v kateri nastajajo ustni zgodovinski viri, prizadeva oživljati sicer nedostopne pripovedi in spomine, hkrati pa mora uporabljati neki jezik legitimitete, ki pa teh pogosto ni sposoben jasno izraziti.
JSON Data Management in RDBMS
Authors: Liu Zhen Hua
Published: July 2019

Being a simple semi-structured data model, JSON has been widely accepted as a simple way to store, query, modify, and exchange data among applications. In comparison with schema-oriented relational data model to store, query, and update application data, JSON data model has the advantage of being self-contained, free from schema evolution issues, and flexible enough to enable agile style development paradigm. Therefore, during the last 5 years, SQL/JSON standard has been established as foundation for managing JSON data in SQL standard and there have been JSON functionalities added into RDBMS products to support SQL/JSON standard to various degree. In this chapter, the authors will analyze the strength and weakness of using JSON as the data model to manage data for applications. For use cases where JSON data model is ideal, they present the design approaches to store, index, query, and update JSON in the kernel of RDBMS to support SQL/JSON standard defined operations effectively and efficiently.

The World Wide Web is a bunch of interlinked documents full of information and knowledge where people search sources to interpret relevant information. As the modern web is becoming more interactive and data-centric, it is necessary to focus on how to exchange data efficiently, easily, and quickly. There are several ways to exchange data among web services like XML and JSON. JSON is one of its kind of emerging data-interchange format. Its data model maps the type system of many programming languages is recommended for web development, especially Java scripting language. Previously, JSON was the focus by NoSQL community, but presently, the relational database community also claims to manage both relational and JSON data in one platform efficiently. This chapter focuses on various approaches to use JSON stores with NoSQL and relational database systems. The study reveals work accomplished so far to identify the working of JSON Stores as NoSQL stores and role relational system plays to enhance the power of JSON stores.

Authors: Hu Zhangbing , Yan Li
Published: July 2019

As a ubiquitous form of data in human natural life, time has been widely used in military, finance, medical treatment, environment and other fields. Therefore, temporal data models used to express the dynamic development process of data have been proposed constantly. Currently, the main research achievements focus on temporal database and temporal XML. With the rapid development and popularization of network technology, the requirement of efficiency and security is getting higher and higher. JSON, a new generation of data exchange language, has been widely used because of its lightweight, fast parsing and high transmission efficiency. However, modeling temporal information with JSON has not been studied enough. The chapter proposes a temporal data model based on JSON. What is more, the temporal query language and the JSON Schema is also mentioned.
A Fuzzy RDF Graph-Matching Method Based on Neighborhood Similarity
Authors: Li Guanfeng , Ma Zongmin
Published: July 2019

With the popularity of fuzzy RDF data, identifying correspondences among these data sources is an important task. Although there are some solutions addressing this problem in classical RDF datasets, existing methods do not consider fuzzy information which is an important property existing in fuzzy RDF graphs. In this article, we apply fuzzy graph to model the fuzzy RDF datasets and propose a novel similarity-oriented RDF graph matching approach, which makes full use of the 1-hop neighbor vertex and edge label information, and takes into account the fuzzy information of a fuzzy RDF graph. Based on the neighborhood similarity, we propose a breadth-first branch-and-bound method for fuzzy RDF graph matching, which uses a state space search method and uses truncation parameters to constrain the search. This algorithm can be used to identify the matched pairs.

Authors: de Araujo Diego Dias , Silva Daniel Vinicius Alves , Rodrigues Carolina Amaral Oliveira , Silva Patricia Oliveira , Macieira Tamara Goncalves Rezende , Chianca Tania Couto Machado
Published: July 2019

Background

Critically ill patients are susceptible to the development of dry eye. Few studies have been conducted on how to best prevent and treat this condition.

Objective

To compare the effectiveness of 2 nursing interventions in preventing dry eye in adult intensive care unit patients: liquid artificial tears (Lacribell; Latinofarma) and artificial tears gel (Vidisic Gel; Bausch and Lomb).

Methods

In this randomized controlled trial, 140 participants were randomly assigned to 1 of 2 treatment groups: a liquid artificial tears group (n = 70) and an artificial tears gel group (n = 70). The study inclusion criteria were as follows: admission to the intensive care unit, age of 18 years or older, no diagnosis of dry eye at admission, receipt of mechanical ventilation, blink rate of less than 5 times per minute, and a score of 7 or less on the Glasgow Coma Scale. On 5 consecutive days, a single researcher who was unaware of the treatment assignment assessed the participants’ eyes using the fluorescein eye stain test and the Schirmer test for dry eye.

Results

Dry eye developed in 21% of participants who received liquid artificial tears versus 9% of participants who received artificial tears gel (P = .04).

Conclusions

In this study, artificial tears gel was superior to liquid artificial tears in preventing the development of dry eye. These results may help nurses deliver evidence-based eye care aimed at reducing the risk of dry eye in critically ill patients.

Authors: Shaaibu Abdullahi Salisu , El-Habeeb Aliyu Mohammed , Mustapha Idris Mohammed , Danjaji Abdulsalam Usman
Published: July 2019

Diaphragmatic hernias are defined as congenital or acquired defect in the diaphragm. It is said to be the most common intra-thoracic fetal anomaly with an incidence of 1 in 2200 to 3000 live births and male to female ratio of 2:1.The unusual and misleading presentation of this condition which would cause an unnecessary delay in diagnosis and all the attendant consequences (such as intestinal obstruction) is hereby presented. The role of plain chest Xray which is cheap and readily available in salvaging the confusing clinical scenario has been emphasized. Late presenting CDH should be factored in the differential diagnosis of any child with chronic cough. Delay in diagnosis increases chances of complication such as chronic lung diseases and gastro-esophageal reflux, later in adulthood.
ONE- AND THREE-DIMENSIONAL MODELING OF A VERTICAL-SLOT FISHWAY
Authors: Umeda Camila Yuri Lira , Lima Guilherme de , Janzen Johannes Gérson , Salla Marcio Ricardo
Published: July 2019

This paper compares the use of one-dimensional (1-D) and three-dimensional (3-D) numerical models to simulate the flow of a vertical-slot fishway. Prior to their application, the models are validated by comparing the predicted data with experimental data from a physical model. Then the numerical models are applied to calculate four critical hydraulic design parameters of vertical-slot fishways, i.e., flow speed, water depth, turbulent kinetic energy, and energy dissipation rate. Furthermore, the authors developed rating curves for flow rate and energy dissipation rate in terms of flow depth using data from the 1-D model. These curves have great utility for the operation of the vertical-slot fishway studied. The results indicate that 1-D modeling can be a useful tool for preliminary conservative design arrangements of vertical-slot fishways, and that 3-D modeling can be a useful tool to enable accurate representation of the critical hydraulic design parameters and selection of the most appropriate design.
THERMAL ANALYSIS OF URBAN LAND COVER USING AN UNMANED AERIAL VEHICLE (UAV) IN MEDELLIN, COLOMBIA
Authors: Soto-Estrada Engelberth , Correa-Echeveri Sebastián , Posada-Posada Martha Isabel
Published: July 2019

Thermal anomalies in built environments, known as Urban Heat Islands (UHI), are studied with satellite-derived data. However, this information is insufficient to examine regions such as the Aburra Valley, where the city of Medellin is located. In this valley, atmospheric interferences are common and the rugged terrain influences the amount of solar radiation reaching the surface, which hinders the analysis of the UHI. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) can be used to obtain the Land Surface Temperature (LST) at a time and location that is more convenient. In this project, a UAV was equipped with a thermal sensor to collect data on natural (ground vegetation and trees) and artificial (concrete, asphalt, and clay roof tiles) land cover types in Medellin, Colombia. The thermal information provided by the drone overcame the limitations of the satellite-derived data in terms of spatial, temporal, and radiometric resolution. This data enabled the study of specific land-cover types in different urban contexts, especially the influence of vegetation on LST. The findings suggested that the distribution of trees is crucial for UHI mitigation. Tree shading reduced the surface temperature of asphalt in average by 12 °C and by 5.7 °C for concrete. In addition, the presence of trees alongside streets reduced the maximum surface temperature of asphalt by 22.4 °C in the same neighborhood. These results contributed to the understanding of the influence of urban development on Medellin’s temperature.

Melioidosis is a bacterial infection caused by exposure to water or soil that contains Burkholderia pseudomallei (Bp). Burkholderia pseudomallei is endemic to many tropical and subtropical areas of the world. In 2013, the first case of melioidosis was recognized in Yap, the Federated States of Micronesia. Six additional cases were identified in the subsequent 3 years. An investigation was initiated to understand the epidemiology of melioidosis in Yap. Serum from family and community members of the identified cases were tested for antibodies to Bp. Archived serum from a 2007 Zika serosurvey were also tested for antibodies to Bp. Sequencing of bacterial isolates was performed to understand bacterial phylogeny. Soil and water were tested for the presence of Bp in the environment by culture and PCR. None of the affected patients had a history of travel to melioidosis-endemic countries. Two of the 34 (5.8%) samples from the field investigation and 67 (11.7%) of the historical samples demonstrated serologic evidence of prior Bp exposure. No Bp were detected from 30 soil or water samples. Genotype analysis showed highly related Bp isolates that were unique to Yap. Melioidosis is likely to be endemic to Yap; however, it has only recently been recognized by the clinical community in country. Further investigation is needed to understand the local sites that harbor Bp and represent the highest risk to the community.
Performance of a new co-axial ion-molecule reaction region for low-pressure chemical ionization mass spectrometry with reduced instrument wall interactions

Abstract. Chemical ionization mass spectrometry (CIMS) techniques have become prominent methods for sampling trace gases of relatively low volatility. Such gases are often referred to as being sticky, i.e. having measurement artifacts due to interactions between analyte molecules and instrument walls, given their tendency to interact with wall surfaces via absorption or adsorption processes. These surface interactions can impact the precision, accuracy, and detection limits of the measurements. We introduce a low-pressure ion-molecule reaction (IMR) region primarily built for performing iodide-adduct ionization, though other adduct ionization schemes could be employed. The design goals were to improve upon previous low-pressure IMR versions by reducing impacts of wall interactions at low pressure while maintaining sufficient ion-molecule reaction times. Chamber measurements demonstrate that the IMR delay times (i.e., magnitude of wall interactions) for a range of organic molecules spanning five orders of magnitude in volatility are 3 to 10 times lower in the new IMR compared to previous versions. Despite these improvements, wall interactions are still present and need to be understood. To that end, we also introduce a conceptual framework for considering instrument wall interactions and a measurement protocol to accurately capture the time-dependence of analyte concentrations. This protocol uses short-duration, high-frequency measurements of the total background (i.e., fast zeros) during ambient measurements as well as during calibration factor determinations. This framework and associated terminology applies to any instrument and ionization technique that samples compounds susceptible to wall interactions.
Density correction of NRLMSISE-00 in the middle atmosphere (20–100 km) based on TIMED/SABER density data

Published: July 2019

Abstract. This paper describes the density correction of the NRLMSISE-00 using more than 15 years (2002–2016) of TIMED/SABER satellite atmospheric density data from the middle atmosphere (20–100 km). A bias correction factor dataset is established based on the density differences between the TIMED/SABER data and NRLMSISE-00. Seven height nodes are set in the range 20–100 km. The different scale oscillations of the correction factor are separated at each height node, and the spherical harmonic function is used to fit the coefficients of the different timescale oscillations to obtain a spatiotemporal function at each height node. Cubic spline interpolation is used to obtain the correction factor at other heights. The spatiotemporal correction function proposed in this paper achieves a good correction effect on the atmospheric density of the NRLMSISE-00 model. The correction effect becomes more pronounced as the height increases. After correction, the relative error of the model decreased by 40–50 % in July, especially at ±40° N in the 80–100 km region. The atmospheric model corrected by the spatiotemporal function achieves higher accuracy for forecasting the atmospheric density during different geomagnetic activities. During geomagnetic storms, the relative errors in atmospheric density at 100 km, 72 km, and 32 km decrease from 41.21 %, 28.56 %, and 3.03 % to −9.65 %, 5.38 %, and 1.44 %, respectively, after correction. The relative errors in atmospheric density at 100 km, 72 km, and 32 km decrease from 68.95 %, 24.98 %, and 3.56 % to 3.49 %, 3.02 %, and 1.77 %, respectively, during geomagnetic quiet period. The correction effect during geomagnetic quiet period is better than that during geomagnetic storms at a height of 100 km. The subsequent effects of geomagnetic activity will be considered, and the atmospheric density during magnetic storms and quiet periods is corrected separately near 100 km. The ability of the model to characterize the mid-atmosphere (20–100 km) is significantly improved compared with the pre-correction performance. As a result, the corrected NRLMSISE-00 can provide more reliable atmospheric density data for scientific research and engineering fields such as data analysis, instrument design, and aerospace vehicles.

Abstract. New autonomous robotic platforms for observing the ocean, i.e. Biogeochemical-Argo (BGC-Argo) floats, have drastically increased the number of vertical profiles of irradiance, photosynthetically available radiation (PAR), and algal chlorophyll concentrations around the globe independent of the season. Such data may therefore be a fruitful resource to improve performances of numerical models for marine biogeochemistry. Here we present a work that integrates 1314 vertical profiles of PAR acquired by 31 BGC-Argo floats operated in the Mediterranean Sea between 2012 and 2016 into a one-dimensional model to simulate the vertical and temporal variability of algal chlorophyll concentrations. The model
was initially forced with PAR
measurements to assess its skill when
using quality-controlled light profiles, and
subsequently with a number of
alternative bio-optical models to analyse
the model capability when light
observations are not available. Model
outputs were evaluated against
co-located chlorophyll profiles measured
by BGC-Argo floats.
Results highlight that the data-driven
model is able to reproduce the
spatial and temporal variability of deep
chlorophyll maxima depth observed at a
number of Mediterranean sites well. Further,
we illustrate the key role of PAR and
vertical mixing in shaping the vertical
dynamics of primary producers in the
Mediterranean Sea.
The comparison of alternative bio-optical
models identifies the best simple one to
be used, and suggests that model
simulations benefit from considering the diel cycle.
University of Warsaw Lagrangian Cloud Model (UWLCM) 1.0: a modern large-eddy simulation tool for warm cloud modeling with Lagrangian microphysics
Authors: Dziekan Piotr , Waruszewski Maciej , Pawlowska Hanna
Published: July 2019

Abstract. A new anelastic large-eddy simulation (LES) model with an Eulerian dynamical core and Lagrangian particle-based microphysics is presented.
The dynamical core uses the multidimensional positive-definite advection transport algorithm (MPDATA) advection scheme and the generalized conjugate residual pressure solver, whereas the microphysics scheme is based on the super-droplet method.
Algorithms for coupling of Lagrangian microphysics with Eulerian dynamics are presented, including spatial and temporal discretizations and a condensation substepping algorithm.
The model is free of numerical diffusion in the droplet size spectrum.
Activation of droplets is modeled explicitly, making the model less sensitive to local supersaturation maxima than models in which activation is parameterized.
Simulations of a drizzling marine stratocumulus give results in agreement with other LES models.
It is shown that in the super-droplet method a relatively low number of computational particles is sufficient to obtain correct averaged properties of a cloud, but
condensation and collision–coalescence have to be modeled with a time step of the order of 0.1 s.
Such short time steps are achieved by substepping, as the model time step is typically around 1 s.
Simulations with and without an explicit subgrid-scale turbulence model are compared.
Effects of modeling subgrid-scale motion of super-droplets are investigated.
The model achieves high computational performance by using graphics processing unit (GPU) accelerators.
Cartographing dynamic stall with machine learning

Abstract. Airfoil stall is bad for wind turbines. Once stall has set in, lift collapses, drag increases and then both of these forces will fluctuate strongly. The result is higher fatigue loads and lower energy yield. In dynamic stall, separation first develops from the trailing edge up the leading edge, eventually the shear layer rolls up and then a coherent vortex forms and then sheds downstream with it’s low pressure core causing a lift spike and moment dump. When 50+ experimental cycles of lift or pressure values are averaged, this process appears clear and coherent in flow visualizations. Unfortunately, stall is not one clean process, but a broad collection of processes. This means that the analysis of separated flows should be able to detect outliers and analysis cycle to cycle variations. Modern data science/machine learning can be used to treat separated flows. In this study, a clustering method based on dynamic time warping is used to find different shedding behaviors. This method captures that secondary and tertiary vorticity vary strongly and in static stall with surging flow; the flow can occasionally reattach. A convolutional neural network was used to extract dynamic stall vorticity convection speeds and phases from pressure data. Finally, bootstrapping was used to provide best practices regarding the number of experimental repetitions required to ensure experimental convergence.
