Published: May 2022

Abstract. There is a clear and pressing need to improve and update landslide susceptibility models across the Philippines. This is challenging, as landslides in this region are frequently triggered by temporally and spatially disparate typhoon events, and it remains unclear whether such spatially and/or temporally distinct typhoon events cause similar landslide responses, i.e., whether the landslide susceptibility for one typhoon event is similar for another. Here, we use logistic regression techniques (implemented alongside a LASSO (Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator) for independent variable selection) to develop four landslide susceptibility models based on three typhoon-triggered landslide inventories. These inventories are of landslides triggered by the 2009 Typhoon Parma (local name Typhoon Pepeng), the 2018 Typhoon Mangkhut (local name Typhoon Ompong), and the 2019 Typhoon Kammuri (local name Typhoon Tisoy). The 2009 and 2018 inventories were mapped across the same 150 km2 region of Itogon in the Benguet Province, whilst the 2019 event was mapped across a 490 km2 region of Abuan in the Isabela Province. The four susceptibility models produced are for the 2009, 2018 and 2019 inventories separately, and for the 2009 and 2018 inventories combined. By comparing the susceptibility model outputs across all four models, we are then able to assess the similarity in landslide response between the different typhoon events. Furthermore, using AUROC validation and 30 % of the landslide inventories saved for independent testing, we quantify the degree to which susceptibility models derived from one event can forecast/hindcast the landslides triggered by the other events. The logistic regression approach produced susceptibility models with 65–82 % accuracy, with the 2009, 2018, and combined 2009–2018 models being considerably more accurate (78–82 %) than the 2019 model (65 %). Furthermore, we find that the three typhoon events caused quite different landslide responses. Most notably, landslides in Itogon triggered by the 2018 and 2009 typhoons were heavily distributed across E/SE/S-facing slopes and at slope angles >30°, whereas landslides in Abuan triggered by the 2019 typhoon occurred across all aspects and slope angles. Finally, the AUROC validation shows that using a susceptibility model for one typhoon event to forecast/hindcast another leads to a 6–10 % reduction in model accuracy compared to the accuracy obtained when modelling and validating each event separately. However, using a susceptibility model for two combined typhoon events (2009 + 2018) to forecast/hindcast each typhoon event separately led to just a 1–3 % reduction in model accuracy. This suggests that combined multi-event typhoon triggered landslide susceptibility models will be more accurate and reliable for the forecasting of future typhoon-triggered landslides.

Abstract. An airborne microwave wide-band radiometer (500–2000 MHz) was operated for the first time in Antarctica to better understand the emission properties of sea ice, outlet glaciers and the interior ice sheet from Terra Nova Bay to Dome C. The different glaciological regimes were revealed to exhibit unique spectral signatures in this portion of the microwave spectrum. Generally, the brightness temperatures over the inland ice sheet were warmest at the lowest frequencies consistent with models that predict that those channels sensed the deeper, warmer parts of the ice sheet. Spectra along the lengths of outlet glaciers were modulated by the deposition and erosion of snow, driven by strong katabatic winds. Similar to previous experiments in Greenland, the brightness temperatures across the frequency band were low in crevasse areas. Variations in brightness temperature were consistent with spatial changes in sea ice type identified in satellite imagery and in situ ground penetrating radar data. The results contribute to a better understanding of the utility of microwave wide-band radiometry for cryospheric studies and also advance knowledge of the important physics underlying existing L-band radiometers operating in space.
Channelised, distributed, and disconnected: Spatial structure and temporal evolution of the subglacial drainage under a valley glacier in the Yukon
Authors: Rada Giacaman Camilo Andrés , Schoof Christian
Published: May 2022

Abstract. The subglacial drainage system is one of the main controls on basal sliding, but remains only partially understood. Here we expand the analysis of the eight-year dataset of borehole observations presented in Rada and Schoof (2018). These observations were made on a small, alpine polythermal valley glacier in the Yukon Territory, and were previously used to describe the seasonal evolution of the drainage system and to underline the importance of hydraulic isolation at the glacier bed. Now, to explore the spatial structure of the drainage system and its seasonal progression, we automatically cluster boreholes based on similarities in their pressure records and follow their evolution through the melt season. Some of these borehole clusters show pressure variations that suggest they are part of a drainage system connected to the surface meltwater supply, while others show features consistent with hydraulic isolation. The distribution of connected and isolated boreholes suggests that the distributed drainage system we observe comprises a network of small conduits with spacings smaller than the borehole bottom diameter (approximately 25–50 cm). Within these hydraulically connected areas, pressure phase lags, and amplitude attenuation rarely shows the behaviour expected in a diffusive system. This observation suggests that the diffusivity distribution in such areas presents a fine structure at scales smaller than our minimum borehole spacing of 15 m. However, at a glacier-wide scale, we observe that hydraulic connections are ubiquitous in some regions of the bed and permanently absent in others, suggesting large contrasts in difuisivity. Within disconnected areas, boreholes often show small amplitude pressure variations associated with horizontal normal stress transfers. Such stress transfers seem to play a more important role than previously considered for controlling the effective pressure distribution at the bed. Through the melt season, the evolution of borehole clusters suggests that the diurnal meltwater supply promotes the growth of the low-efficiency drainage systems found early in the season while stimulating the shrinkage and fragmentation of the more efficient drainage systems that appear later in the season. Therefore, an increase in drainage efficiency is associated with the growth of disconnected areas. Our observations support the traditional view of a distributed drainage system early in the melt season that gradually evolves into a progressively more channelized system. However, the most notable difference is the highly heterogeneous distribution of diffusivity that our results suggest and the robust support for disconnected areas. The extent of disconnected areas could be an essential control of basal speed variations. It is possible that even relatively small disconnected areas could have a disproportionate effect on basal speed.

What Can Poets Teach?
Authors: Harrison Martin
Published: May 2022

I would suggest, that if contemporary humanities is a topos or place of writing, poetics is at the heart of its contemporary teaching practice. Poetics, however, is not proposed here as a substitute foundational discipline, nor as the sort of extended heuristic method which semiotics was for Barthes. Poetics is both speculative and practical: it is both a study of the way in which knowing is represented and a doing of that knowledge. The old-fashioned language of disciplinary outcomes does not apply here…

English Loanwords in Tamil: Fix Illicit Consonant Clusters
Authors: Selvan Pushpa Rani Subramani
Published: May 2022

Loanword adaptation has long proved field as an intriguing object of study.  Loanword borrowing often takes place within languages to fill the glossary of the new terminology. The direction of borrowing is primarily linked to the sociolinguistic status of a language in a community. In the scenario of Malaysia, Malay as a national language and English as a global language plays an essential role in the process of loanword adaptation, technologically, culturally and politically. English and Tamil languages have two disparate grammatical elements. Some grammatical rules accepted in English is illicit in Tamil. In particular, consonant clusters in the English language are prohibited in Tamil. Therefore, words borrowed from English into Tamil are subject to choose one of these two contradictory rules, whether adapt the consonant cluster in its authenticity or repairing to satisfy the grammar of the recipient language. The study results show that some borrowed English loan words obey Tamil grammar, while others violate the rules. This raises questions about the adaptation process's possible representational versus phonetic underpinnings. This paper examines the phonetic adaptation of  English loanwords in Tamil adaptation, focusing primarily on the process of vowel epenthesis. It finds that the place features of the epenthetic vowel overcome illegal consonant clusters. The paper concludes that the language-specific phonological phenomena are central to this process. Data for this research were obtained from Tamil short stories (2000-2016). Many studies have been conducted to examine loanword adaptation in Malaysian Tamil. However, this study explores the repairing process of phonetic variations in the adapted words.
Partnership and Service Operation Systems in Improving the Performance of Samsat Service Operations in West Java
Authors: Subagja Mukti
Published: May 2022

The government has regulated the pattern of identification and registration of motor vehicle ownership administration and the pattern of imposition of taxes, including compulsory donations of traffic accident funds through the One Roof Motor Vehicle Administration System, abbreviated as SAMSAT. The performance of service operations at the SAMSAT office in West Java Province has not reached the optimal stage. This is allegedly related to the implementation of service operations and partnership systems. Therefore, this study aims to examine the effect of partnerships and service operating systems on the operational performance of SAMSAT services in West Java. The research method used in this study is survey research. The unit of analysis is the SAMSAT office in West Java Province with an observation unit that is an apparatus from the SAMSAT office in West Java Province spread over 27 districts / cities. Based on a small population size, a census of the entire population is carried out. Causality analysis is used to determine the causal relationship between variables, using PLS. The results of the study show that partnerships and service operating systems have a significant effect on operating performance. System operating performance has a more dominant influence than partnerships in increasing SAMSAT operating performance. The results of this study have implications for the SAMSAT apparatus in West Java Province that efforts to develop operational performance of SAMSAT services can be done by prioritizing the development of service operating systems and supported by the development of closer partnerships with related parties.
Transnational Network and Information Flow in African Refugees and Undocumented Migrants’ International Migration Process
Authors: Esien Eddy Bruno
Published: May 2022

This paper analyses the role of information flow under transnational (social) networks to understand African refugees and undocumented migrants’ migration to Austria. Existing research pointed to the international refugee crisis with industrialised countries targeted border governance that has prompted the emergence of the transnational (social) network, which builds (kinship-based) connectivity and interchangeable acquaintances between migrants in host and country of origin to influence and facilitate migrants’ pre and post mobility process. However, the network often faces weak ties with exploitation and subjugation to human trafficking. Based on twenty qualitative problem-centred face-face interviews, data are collected and analysed with content analysis technique to fill in the gap. The findings indicate that pre-mobility guidance, directive, and legislative decoder regulatory tools influence transnational networks with a lack of well-managed network that may impair pre and post-mobility processes to shape African refugees and undocumented migrant international migratory pathways in an information flow setting. This study demonstrated actor-based network-driven advocacy governance. The outcome points to the strategic mobilization of collective information to resource vulnerable people and refugees or undocumented migrants to meet their needs. This is relevant to collective action in contemporary neoliberal society targeting freedom and movements that may not only constrain ethnic minority group mobility, but the universal human rights principles, public policy learning process, informal institution collaborative actions, and democratic values in times of crisis-related super-diversity societies.

Family Braconidae as a parasitoid of insect pests for the world fruit industry
Authors: Carlos Henrique Marchiori
Published: May 2022

The Braconidae Family are wasps mainly of parasitic habits. Members of the Mesostoinae are not parasitic but rather form galls on plants. In many species polyembryony occurs: an egg multiplies clonally producing many individuals. The larva develops on or inside the body of its host, mainly other insects with complete metamorphosis (holometabolous) and some with simple metamorphosis (hemimetabolous). The family has two major lineages: the cyclostomes and the non-cyclostomes, this condition is related to the shape of the clypeus. According to biology, two groups can be found: idiobionts and koinobionts (cenobionts). The aim of this study is to describe the phenology of the Braconidae Family (Hymenoptera: Braconidae). In its conceptual and taxonomic aspect. To this end, a bibliographic survey of Braconidae was carried out in the years 1989 to 2021. Only complete articles published in scientific journals and expanded abstracts presented at national and international scientific events. Data were also obtained from platforms such as: Academia.edu, Frontiers, Qeios, Pubmed, Biological Abstract, Publons, Dialnet, World, Wide Science, Springer, RefSeek, Microsoft Academic, Science and ERIC.

Published: May 2022

QUasi-Affine TRansformation Evolutionary (QUATRE) is an excellent algorithm that generalized differential evolution algorithm to matrix form. There are two approaches of Binary QUATRE (BQUATRE) algorithm that convert the continuous search space to the binary one. The convergence process of meta-heuristic algorithms can be regarded as two stages: exploration and exploitation. Generally speaking, transfer function plays an important role in the binary metaheuristic algorithms. Therefore, four families of transfer functions are converted into the time-varying form to balance the exploration and exploitation. In particular, a new timevarying formula for the V-shaped, U-shaped and Z-shaped transfer functions is designed in this manuscript. Then, two new approaches of BQUATRE algorithm using the timevarying transfer functions are proposed. In addition, a wrapper feature selection algorithm is designed based on the proposed time-varying BQUATRE. In order to verify the performance of the proposed algorithms, the UCI repository is used in the experiment and the results show that the proposed algorithms are superior to the original BQUATRE and the state-of-the-art algorithms.

The advancement of 5G communication technology and Internet of Things (IoT) technology has promoted the rapid development of Mobile Edge Computing (MEC). In mobile edge, all IoT devices adopt wireless communication technology. Therefore, it is particularly important to ensure the data security and the privacy of the sender in the process of data transmission. At present, a lot of researchers have proposed a large number of schemes for the authentication of the user in MEC. However, there is no effective and lightweight solution for authentication among users, edge devices and cloud server. In this paper, an efficient three-party authentication and key agreement protocol without using bilinear pairings is designed. The proposed protocol realized authentication among users, edge devices and cloud server, and at the same time, three parties conduct key agreement to obtain a common session key. The security analysis shows that our protocol is secure and meets the security attributes such as session-key security, forward secrecy. The experiment shows that the computation cost is low in this protocol.

Multi-hop relay selection is regarded as a key technology to overcome severe path loss and adapt complex environments in millimeter-wave (mmWave) and terahertz communication. Meanwhile, new hardware called reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) has emerged and is used to boost the spectral and energy efficiency of future wireless communication systems. Then, to solve the challenge that the numerous energy consumption caused by the increasing number of relays in the future industrial internet a promising architecture with a hybrid active–and-passive relay network is proposed in this paper. Then, the optimization joint system delay and energy efficiency based on the simulated annealing (SA) algorithm is considered in this paper. A hierarchical heuristic optimization algorithm with lower complexity is proposed and proved to be feasible under good communication conditions compared with other algorithms. Finally, numerical results demonstrate that the proposed hybrid relay system and joint optimization model can improve the energy efficiency of the network and reduce the system delay.

Published: May 2022

The drawbacks of the current TCP/IP suits have been pointed out. However, Named Data Networking (NDN) has some limitations, the most notable of which is producer and network mobility. Mainly, producer mobility in moving networks receives scant attention. There are numerous issues that the NDN must address before it can be used by the public, one of which is mobility. In NDN, consumer mobility is naturally supported, but producer mobility is not. The latter is researched a lot, but few results have been reported regarding network mobility with producers. In this paper, two approaches will be focused on: the Hybrid Network Mobility (Hybrid NeMo) approach and the Network Mobility (NeMoI). These two approaches are being compared because they both employed similar techniques for managing network mobility. Furthermore, they will be compared using the same topology to allow more accurate comparisons of their signalling cost and data delivery cost.

 
A Weighted Evidence Combination Method for Multisensor Data Fusion
Authors: Yin Liu Yin Liu , Yin Liu Yang Zhang
Published: May 2022

Multisensor information fusion exerts a key part in lots of practical usages. Dempster-shafer evidence theory has drawn extensive attention in many scopes of information fusion due to its flexibility and effectiveness in dealing with uncertain data without aforehand data. But when combining highly contradictory evidence with Dempster’s combinatorial principles, it can result in counterintuitive results. To solve the issue, the study proposes a multi-sensor data weighted evidence combination fusion method based on inter-evidence difference measure. Firstly, different measures including evidence distance and conflict are with the definition of characterizing distinctions between the two pieces of evidence. Then, according to the difference between each evidence and the average evidence, the weight coefficients of each evidence are calculated. In the end, initial evidence is discounted according to weighting factor, as well as Dempster’s combination principle is adopted to discount the evidence for fusion. Many instances show that this way can efficiently treat highly conflicting evidence and has good convergence performance.

 
Medicine Safety Assessment Method based on Dynamic Dual Optimization
Authors: Ruiqi Luo Ruiqi Luo , Ruiqi Luo Luo Zhong
Published: May 2022

As people pay more and more attention to medicine safety issues, related medicine safety monitoring platforms are also rapidly popularized. However, previous work has poor accuracy and low efficiency in medicine safety assessment. In this paper, the medicine safety evaluation index system of the medicine safety monitoring platform is determined from four aspects: medicine research and development, medicine market, medicine production, and medicine uses. In order to solve the problems of the medicine safety evaluation model, such as low evaluation accuracy, slow convergence speed, and long training time, the dynamic dual optimization of PSO-BP medicine safety assessment method (OPSO-BP) is proposed. The weights and thresholds of BP neural network are optimized by the PSO algorithm to improve the quality of assessment. In addition, we optimize PSO: use the cosine function to dynamically adjust the inertia weight w and use the average optimal position of the individual in the population to replace the optimal position of the individual. It improves the problem that the evaluation model in the traditional algorithm is easy to fall into the local optimal solution due to the lack of generalization ability. In this paper, the effectiveness of OPSO-BP is verified by comparative experiments with the designed questionnaire data of medicine safety evaluation.

 
An Empirical Study of Gradient-based Explainability Techniques for Self-admitted Technical Debt Detection

Published: May 2022

Self-Admitted Technical Debt (SATD) is an intentionally introduced software code comment describing potential defects or other technical debt. Currently, deep learning is widely used in fields such as Natural Language Processing. Deep learning can be used for SATD detection, but there is a class imbalance problem and a large number of easily classified SATD instances that may potentially affect the loss value. As a result, we proposed a weighted focal loss function based on particle swarm to address the problem. Meanwhile, there is no empirical research based on local explanations for SATD detection. We have investigated local interpretation models such as Saliency Maps, Integrated Gradients, which are currently widely used in deep learning, and conducted empirical research for shared data sets. The research results show that our proposed weighted focal loss function can achieve the best performance for SATD detection; our model achieves 12.27%, 5.97%, and 5.62% improvement in Precision, Recall, and AUC compared to the baseline model, respectively; Local explanation models, including Saliency Maps and Integrated Gradients can cover nearly half of the manually labeled paradigms; these two interpretation models can also discover potential new paradigms.

 
Selfie-taking Behavior and Narcissistic Tendencies of College Students
Authors: Aguilo Valerie , Gerente Adrian , Marasigan Portia
Published: May 2022

The increasing popularity of selfies and social media made users vulnerable to excessive selfie-related behaviors. This maladaptive behavior can cause people to develop several mental disorders such as depression and body dysmorphic disorder. Thus, this study determined the relationship between selfietaking behavior and narcissistic tendencies of selected college students. Selfitis Behavior Scale (SBS) and Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI-13) are research instruments used to measure selfie-taking behavior and narcissistic tendencies, respectively. The descriptive-correlational research revealed that 120 college students, selected through stratified sampling technique, are more likely to engage in selfie-taking behavior which in turn, may lead to narcissistic tendencies. Respondents showed high level of selfietaking behavior and low level of narcissistic tendencies, therefore displaying ‘seldom narcissistic’ features. Only the frequency of selfies taken was significantly related to selfie-taking behavior. Selfietaking behavior was also significantly related to narcissistic tendencies. Thus, this study concludes that selfie-taking and narcissistic behaviors can be positive and negative, influenced primarily by the motives of selfie-taking, and cultural differences play an important role in mediating selfie-taking and narcissistic behaviors. This study suggests a deeper exploration on the narcissistic tendencies and providing more specific details on the nature, causes, classification, as well as possible diagnostic criteria of these narcissistic features.

Authors: Madhusudhanan J. , Gundu Shravanya , Kavitha K. , Abirami D. , Manickam Rajalakshmi , Ahamed Niyas M. I.
Published: May 2022

Nanocarriers have emerged as a safe and effective method of medication administration and release during the past few years. When compared to their larger-scale counterparts, nanoparticles display amazing properties. The excellent biocompatibility of many of these carriers makes them more attractive, as does the fact that they provide better effectiveness, particularly in cancer therapies. Over the past half-century, nanocrystal, liposomal, and micelle nanocarriers for drug administration and release have been widely studied. As a result of these successful uses, the pharmaceutical industry now has a whole new product to choose from. An overview of recent works on nanocarrier materials and designs to improve the efficacy of medications for illness treatment is provided below. As organic and inorganic nanocarrier materials that are highly biocompatible and easy to manipulate get the most interest, specific emphasis is paid to the design and implementation of novel nanocarrier materials such as nanohydrogels, chitins, graphene oxides, and solid lipoprotein nanoparticles. Each summary shows how far the project has progressed. In order to give better therapy to patients, there is a pressing demand in pharmaceutical technology for improved knowledge of the current condition of these nanomaterials.

Published: May 2022

The objectives of this research are to study ways of Enhancing Cross-Border Transportation Capabilities (ECTC) of road freight forwarders: Chong Chom permanent border crossing point, Thailand-Cambodia, to build ECTC model, and to study the effect of ECTC on Transport Entrepreneur Capabilities Performance (ECP) by using mixed methods research design. Population was 12,546 entrepreneurs and employees of 20 road freight forwarders in Bangkok, Surin and Nakhon Ratchasima. The total of 780 questionnaires was distributed and then 527 were returned. Moreover, in-depth interview was from 18 key informants.  The research instrument was tested in terms of reliability and validity. Data was analyzed using a variety of statistics including descriptive statistics, Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), Structural Equation Model (SEM) and Path Analysis. The results have found that Cooperation and Participation (CP) is most important factors for ECTC. In addition, the structure of ECTC model consists of 4 constructs: Enhancing Cross-Border Transportation Capabilities (ECTC) (l= 0.83 – 0.92), Transport Operation (TROP) (l=0.81 – 0.87), Cooperation and Participation (CP) (l=0.85 – 0.89) and Entrepreneur Capabilities Performance (ECP) (l=0.74 – 0.85).
The Passive ἀποκατηλλάγητε in P46 and B03 Colossians 1:22a: An Original Grammatical Anomaly or Another Case of Scribal Assimilation?
Authors: Araújo Diego dy Carlos
Published: May 2022

Colossians 1:22a has one of the most challenging textual variants in the Pauline corpus regarding the form of the verb ἀποκαταλλάσσειν. The two competing readings are the active ἀποκατήλλαξεν, which is the reading of the majority of manuscripts, and the passive ἀποκαταλ[..]γητε/ἀποκατηλλάγητε, found in P46 and B03, two of the most important manuscripts of the New Testament. Although the latter results in a ‘grammatical anomaly’, it is the lectio difficilior, and, therefore, many argue that it is the only reading that reasonably explains the emergence of the others. I argue that the reading of the majority of witnesses should be accepted as the earliest attainable text on both external and internal grounds; however, scholars who support this approach have been challenged to present an explanation for the origin of the passive reading in P46 and B03. This article provides such a hypothesis, proposing that the P46/B03 reading can be reasonably explained by an unconscious assimilation (or harmonisation) of the near-parallel passage in Romans 5:10.
Designing and Facilitating Optimal LMS Student Learning Experiences
Authors: Wenzel Alicia , Moreno Jennifer
Published: May 2022

Higher education institutions seek to provide instructional opportunities that challenge students with a high level of academic rigor founded in a robust curriculum. Recognizing that learners are more diverse than ever before, and instructional formats are shifting away from traditional inperson learning experiences and toward online learning, it is clear that new technologies, delivery platforms, and pedagogies are required. Further, for online learning to be successful, both courses and the platforms on which they are hosted must not only meet institutional goals, but also serve the unique needs of students by providing online learning that is accessible and navigable as well as providing learners with relevant and personalized experiences. The authors aim to provide research-based practices to support stakeholders who are interested in techniques that translate to a more beneficial and accessible student experience in online learning and help instructors engineer their course design with artful, targeted purpose.
