Authors: Widyastuti Novia
Published: December 2019

Radio Mitra Berdakwah dan Bersholawat (MBS) adalah Radio Komunitas yang ada di Fakultas Dakwah dan Komunikasi UIN Walisongo Semarang dengan Frequensi 107.8 Mhz. Pada awalnya Radio MBS merupakan tempat Praktikum Mahasiswa untuk mengembangkan kemampuannya dibidang kepenyiaran. Karena keterbatasan jangkauan frekuensi yang dimiliki untuk mendengarkan radio MBS, media informan mengatakan bahwa mereka tidak dapat mendengarkan radio MBS karna tidak terjangkau di wilayah tertentu. Metode penelitian yang digunakan dalam pengembangan aplikasi radio streaming berbasis Android adalah jenis penelitian pengembangan dengan metode ADDIE. sedangkan objek yang diteliti adalah kemudahan dana kelayakan aplikasi radio streaming berbasis Android.  
Kelebihan dari produk aplikasi radio ini ialah pada prosedur operasionalnya yang mudah. Setelah didesain sedemikian rupa sebagaimana pada pembahasan desain awal produk, pada operasionalnya hanya tinggal menjalankan aplikasi ZaraRadio sebagai software utamanya dalam melakukan siaran, kemudian penyiar juga menjalankan aplikasi edcast untuk mentransfer audio ke streamer agar dapat mentransfer ke aplikasi android. Sedangkan kelemahan pada produk streaming ini ialah suara yang didengarkan pada channel streaming mengalami delay yaitu sekitar 15-20 detik. Kelemahan lain yaitu system jaringan internet pada aplikasi edcast yang tidak mendukung untuk menggunakan jaringan internet mikrotik sehingga peneliti menggunakan jaringan internet modulator demodulator (modem) untuk menjalankan streaming radio pada aplikasi edcast. Kelemahan yang lain yaitu jaringan sebelumnya pada streaming radio MBS.FM terbatas, hanya 100 pendengar saja diwaktu bersamaan.
"Nootheca": Point-Rating System + Design, or Revisiting the Issue of Transition from Quantitative to Qualitative Measurements of Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities
Authors: Golev Nikolay
Published: December 2019

The present paper introduces an authentic new-format point-rating system, the nootheca. It is based on the idea of a self-organizing educational process, where the quantitative measurement of the results acts as an incentive for collective and individual self-organization and organizes the educational process. The paper focuses on the components of nootheca, which form an integral didactic system. The system combines design and cumulative principles of classroom management. The author describes the technological aspects of the nootheca against a wider didactic context. This refers to both the theoretical context and the practice of constructing such systems, primarily the options they offer within the point-rating system. The research was not limited to the didactic aspect alone: it also included issues related to the measurement of quality in other areas of intellectual and cultural activity. In some cases, the study touched upon methodology and philosophy of education. As for the latter, the problems discussed are organically included in the general antinomies, e.g. quality vs. quantity as philosophical categories; part vs. whole; single / special vs. universal, etc. The specific didactic antinomies include the following antinomies: personality-oriented vs. team-oriented learning, knowledge-centered approach vs. skill-centered approach, etc. The antinomies form specific oppositions that are directly related to the topic of nootheca: online vs. offline classes, horizontal vs. vertical peer review, individual vs. group motivation, etc.

Authors: Sheikhi Jolandan Nahid , Zangane Mina
Published: December 2019

The article features project method in teaching Russian as a foreign language to students of Iranian universities. The research objective was to study the opinions of teaching staff (13 interviewees). The research was based on the project theory and personality-oriented approach. The survey showed that most teachers consider this method an indicator of professional skill and argue that project activities affect the motivation of teachers and students. Most of them implement project method in their work. However, they also point out the following problems: a lack of time and effort to create and apply pedagogical innovations, as well as a lack of material incentives and support from colleagues; problems associated with the transition from the role of a mentor to the role of a consultant; difficulties in applying research and creative methods. The results can be used to teach Russian to Iranian university students.
Unreasonably Privileged Position of a Relocated Employee
Authors: Kichigin Sergey
Published: December 2019

The research features the institution of relocation of an employee to another employer for permanent position. The author compares the legal status of the relocated employee and the employee with a labor contract. According to the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, an employee relocated to a full-time job is placed in an unreasonably privileged position in comparison with those who resigned and were routinely hired for a new job. Resignation and relocation do not have significant substantive differences, as well as the routine employment procedure and relocation. However, the law establishes two significant advantages for the relocated employee. First, the new employer is obliged to sign a labor contract with the relocated employee within one month from the date of dismissal. Second, the position is reserved for the relocated employee, even if it is still occupied by another employee who is in the process of dismissal. Therefore, the law denies the resigning employee the right to withdraw the application. This situation is unacceptable as it violates the rights of employees, because the artificially allocated category of relocated employees gets unjustified privileges from the employer. As a result, there is a discrimination of the overwhelming number of employees hired in the general manner, including those who signed a contract with a delayed start date. The author proposes to exclude from the Labor Code of the Russian Federation the norm on relocation of an employee to a permanent job to another employer, as well as the related norms in Articles 64, 70, and 77. The norms do not fit into the current socio-economic conditions and comply neither with international nor with Russian laws. In order to stimulate the parties to pre-register an employment contract, the author proposes to establish job guarantees that are currently applied to relocated workers for those with a labor contract with a postponed date.
Ageing Acceleration and Disease Onset: Ontogenetic Specificity of Pathogenetic Mechanisms
Authors: Riga Sorin , Budisteanu Magdalena , Budisteanu Bogdan , Dionisie Vlad , Scripnic Vitalie V.
Published: December 2019

The article which unfortunately happened to be the last poshumous paper published by recently deseased Prof. Habil. Dan Riga, MD, PhD, DHc, is devoted to the problem of imperfection and vulnerability of the natural genetically determined adaptation mechanisms available to human being. All defensive mechanisms encoded in human reactivity are principally imperfect and have to cause secondary harm. It means that the very defence is pathogenic, especially in chronic situations when the natural cost of adaptation increases to unbearably high level. That is central paradigm of the whole science of Pathophysiology. The imperfection and secondary pathogenicity of natural defence (autopathokinesis) was emphasized earlier, since first coined by August Weismann, for example in works published by L. P. Churilov. This article analyses the basic aspects of health and disease under the aforementioned bias, with original interpretation of the role of vulnerability and imperfection of human defensive mechanisms in chronic repeated stress and within the continuum of physiologic and pathological senescence. The principle is illustrated by several examples from the general pathology of typical pathological processes and with the correlations to most important geriatric syndromes and diseases. According the statements of the authors, the human being has an ontogenetic route, from childhood and youth health, through adulthood, towards old age (senescence) and related multiple pathology (including dementia). Human vulnerability is extremely complex and manifests at different levels: macromolecular, sub-cellular, cellular, tissual, of organs, of biological system, with additional specific traits for the central nervous system. Slowly, throughout individual ontogenesis, closely related to vulnerability, an etiopathogenic cascade (tetrad) develops: it is entropic, of structures disorganisation and disturbance of their functioning: distress wear-and-tear “ageing” poly-pathology. Its dynamics is self-sustained, aggravated, andrendered more complex by vicious patho-physiological multiplication circuits.

The goal of the study was to estimate the efficacy of growth hormone (GH) co-treatment to the antagonist protocol in IVF/ ICSI cycles in poor responders. A prospective observational study involved 75 patients. All patients underwent standard antagonist protocol with or without GH co-treatment. GH additional was given a daily subcutaneous injection of 1.33 mg (equivalent to 4 IU) of GH from day 1 of ovarian stimulation until the day of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). Concentrations of GH, insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) and IGF binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) in serum and follicular fluid were analyzed. The GH co-treatment significantly lowered effective dose of gonadotropins, duration of stimulation, IGFBP-3 level in serum and follicular fluid day of oocytes retrieval. The number of oocytes recovered, metaphase II stage (MII) oocytes, 2 pronucleus (2 pn) zygote, good-quality transferred embryos were significantly higher in the GH+ group. Only patients GH+ group became pregnant. Positive correlation was found between IGF-I level in follicular fluid, dynamics of IGFBP-3 level changes during stimulation protocol and number of good-quality transferred embryos in the GH+ group. GH administration in IVF/ICSI cycles for poor responders raises ovarian sensitivity to the gonadotropin exogenous influence, this way, increasing number of high-quality embryos and the probability of pregnancy.

Published: December 2019

During the reign of Peter the Great and his successors most significant achievements in the field of public health in Russia took place. In order to train domestic doctors, especially for the army and navy, Peter I organized the training of the best representatives of Russia at the leading medical universities in Europe, and especially at the University of Leiden. He also created the first medical surgical schools in Moscow and St. Petersburg. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, close ties in the field of medicine between Russia and the Netherlands were established. A significant number of doctors, graduates of the Leiden University practiced in Russia and held very high positions in Russian medical services. This contributed to the advancement of advanced European technologies in the provision of medical services and medical education in Russia. Therefore the role of Dutch doctors in the development of Russian medicine in the Petrine era is extremely significant. Under their leadership, the first hospitals and medical schools were established, the first textbooks were developed in Russian and scientific research was conducted. The Academy of Sciences created by Peter the Great was the centre of scientific achievements of Imperial Russia.

Published: December 2019

Trace elements play a critical role for microbial activity in anaerobic digestion (AD) but their effects were probably overestimated in batch tests and should be comparably evaluated in continuous systems. In this study, Fe2+, Co2+, Ni2+, Cu2+ and Zn2+ were added in different concentrations to manure wastewater, and the effects were compared in both batch and continuous systems. The results were used to demonstrate suitable trace element compositions for AD of dairy and swine wastewater, and to compare the outcomes from batch and continuous systems. Fe2+ and Zn2+ were identified as being the most efficient stimulant of dairy and swine wastewater respectively. The addition of 5 mg/L Fe2+ and 0.4 mg/L Zn2+ increased the batch specific methane yield by 62% and 126% for dairy and swine wastewater, respectively. Nevertheless, a lower increment of 2% and 21%, for dairy and swine wastewater was obtained in the 120-day continuously-fed experiments. The 16S rRNA gene sequencing results indicated a relationship between the methanogens population, specific methanogenic activities, propionate, and dissolved hydrogen. Conclusively, the addition of a low dosage of Fe2+ and Zn2+ is a feasible strategy to enhance the methanogenic metabolism of the AD of dairy and swine wastewater respectively.

The potential connection between consumption of red meat and development of colorectal cancer has been the subject of scientific discussion for a long time. However, uncertainty persists to this day. Consumption of processed meat and red meat may play a role in colon carcinogenesis, among other risk factors. An analysis of the updated data demonstrates an ever-smaller connection between red meat consumption and colorectal cancer incidence.
Ensaios de sistemas de controle clássicos com uso de recursos didáticos significativos
Authors: PEIXOTO João Alvarez , PIZZOL Bruno Luiz de
Published: December 2019

O aprendizado em sistemas de controle clássico é uma dificuldade nos cursos de engenharia. Os recursos computacionais amenizam o fato de serem analisados e equacionados por técnicas abstratas. Mas o maior efeito de um controlador é sua resposta ao distúrbio, porém este não pode ser simulado digitalmente devido sua característica aleatória. O objetivo da oficina de controle é a proposta de um aprendizado sobre controle de sistemas dinâmicos, a partir de recursos didáticos, que evidenciem os fenômenos físicos que ocorrem durante o processo de controle de forma lúdica. A metodologia do projeto prevê a pesquisa de requisitos dos sistemas, modelagem, implementação física, oficina de experimentos em controle ressaltando o efeito dos distúrbios. São implementados dois sistemas dinâmicos: sistema de controle de posição angular e de controle de servo posicionamento. Nestes sistemas os alunos modelam matematicamente, implementam controladores digitais e experimentam os resultados aplicando distúrbios para analisar a eficácia do controlador desenvolvido. É possível perceber que há uma grande diferença na qualidade da aprendizagem, quando esta acontece a partir de recursos didáticos significativos. As dificuldades no entendimento das teorias são minimizadas pela atração que os modelos físicos provocam. Os conceitos partem de uma abstração, o que requer maior esforço para compreender. É neste ponto que os recursos didáticos auxiliam na aprendizagem, trazendo os efeitos da abstração para realidade, permitindo correlação entre teoria e prática, proporcionando maior motivação por parte do aluno.
A Fraude Acadêmica e o Código de Conduta na universidade:
Authors: PIMENTA Maria Alzira de Almeida
Published: December 2019

Este estudo trata da fraude acadêmica – que compreende o plágio e o que é comumente conhecida como cola, pesca, fila, no Brasil, e copianço, em Portugal. O objetivo foi refletir sobre o impacto da definição e do compartilhamento de um Código de Conduta na Instituição de Ensino Superior (IES). O estudo se justifica uma vez que a fraude acadêmica é um conjunto de práticas de um estudante que pretenda burlar as regras definidas no âmbito da prática educativa, demonstrando ter conhecimentos que realmente não domina e, portanto, precisa ser enfrentada. A pesquisa foi realizada a partir de revisão bibliográfica e análise documental. A incidência do fenômeno é significativa, indicando que a cola é uma prática comum nas escolas e universidades. A proposta é que as universidades definam códigos de conduta, com urgência, para orientar estudantes e docentes a refletir sobre as consequências de suas ações e decisões.
The Body in the Scene: (Co) Possibilities with Inclusive Education
Authors: Maria Pinheiro Peixoto Sara , Aparecida Dias Maria
Published: December 2019

Este artigo é o resultado de uma dissertação de mestrado que teve como objetivo apresentar uma proposta de intervenção docente tendo o corpo como eixo estruturante em uma perspectiva inclusiva. Assim, assumimos os princípios da pesquisa qualitativa, pelo viés da pesquisa-ação colaborativa, ancorada nos fundamentos epistemológicos de Merleau-Ponty. O itinerário da pesquisa se efetivou através da realização de 08 oficinas pedagógicas, que possibilitaram vivências coletivas, co-produção de saberes, reelaboração de conceitos e de práticas docentes, partindo da ação-reflexão do fazer pedagógico. Com a pesquisa, procuramos desmistificar a dimensão de que somos apenas um corpo físico e biológico em que a deficiência vem a frente do sujeito, assim, enveredamos pela concepção de um corpo como resultado das interações entre o biológico e o cultural, o vivido e o sentido, constituindo toda a existência e vivência de afetos, valores, histórias, cultura que são marcadas através de nossas experiências ancoradas no mundo.
Por uma atenção do cuidado de si na escola em tempos de dispersão hiperconectada
Authors: Campesato Maria
Published: December 2019

No deslocamento de uma sociedade disciplinar para uma de controle com características de superdesempenho, aceleração e concorrência, este artigo problematiza o conceito da atenção em suas implicações com a educação. Este conceito vem ganhando força desde a modernidade e, mais contemporaneamente, é operado como déficit e como um importante valor de mercado. Este ensaio teórico, com inspiração arquegenealógica em Foucault, busca diagnosticar o que estamos nos tornando no presente, quando as escolas são acusadas de não mais conseguirem manter a atenção dos alunos. Avolumam-se as práticas pedagógicas inovadoras, sugerindo estratégias de marketing e de entretenimento como forma de agradar, agora, os alunos-clientes. Todavia, podemos ressaltar o quanto essas mesmas práticas também produzem uma dispersão hiperconectada. Como modo de combate ético e político, optamos por perguntar pela atenção implicada nas práticas educativas a partir do conceito de cuidado de si em Foucault, atravessado por certa conversão do olhar.

En este artículo se realiza, en una primera parte, un repaso histórico de la educación en Brasil, en que se destaca la intervención de los poderes públicos tanto en la educación, en general, como en la formación del profesorado, en particular. Las iniciativas y reformas educativas revelan avances en el proceso modernizador, pero insuficientes en lo que se refiere a los sectores más desfavorecidos. La segunda parte del artículo se dedica, con carácter general, a aspectos pedagógicos y didacticos de esa formación inicial y permanente del profesorado. Se pone el foco en la descripción de cuatro modelos que, aunque condicionados por el pasado, aportan claves valiosas para la educación real.
Mutation Mechanisms of Breast Cancer among the Female Population in China
Authors: Amer Asmaa , Nagah Ahmed , Tian Tianhai , Zhang Xinan
Published: December 2019

Background:

Cancer is a genetic disease caused by the accumulation of gene
mutations. It is important to derive the number of driver mutations that are needed for the
development of human breast cancer, which may provide insights into the tumor diagnosis and
therapy.

Objective:

This work is designed to investigate whether there is any difference for the mutation
mechanism of breast cancer between the patients in the USA and those in China. We study the
mechanisms of breast cancer development in China, and then compare these mechanisms with
those in the USA.

Methods:

This work designed a multistage model including both gene mutation and clonal
expansion of intermediate cells to fit the dataset of breast cancer in China from 2004 to 2009.

Results:

Our simulation results show that the maximum number of driver mutations for breast
epithelium stem cells of females in China is 13 which is less than the 14 driver mutations of
females in the USA. In addition, the two-hit model is the optimal one for the tumorigenesis of
females in China, which is also different from the three-hit model that was predicted as the optimal
model for the tumorigenesis of females in the USA.

Conclusion:

The differences of the mutation mechanisms between China and the USA reflect a
variety of lifestyle, genetic influences, environmental exposure, and the availability of mammography
screening.
Electronegativity in Substituted-4(H)-quinazolinones Causes Anxiolysis without a Sedative-hypnotic Adverse Reaction in Female Wistar Rats
Authors: Mishra Shweta , Das Debashree , Sahu Adarsh , Verma Ekta , Patil Shailendra , Agarwal Ram Kishore , Gajbhiye Asmita
Published: December 2019

Objectives:

In the current study, the synthesis, characterization, and neuropharmacology
of quinazolinone tethered with aromatic (3a-3i) and heteroaromatic substitution (3j, 3k, and 3l) as
effective anxiolytic agents are reported.

Background:

Anxiety and depression are often comorbid with neurological as well as other
medical maladies. Clinically known anxiolytics (Benzodiazepines) are accompanied by untoward
sedation and other CNS depressive actions. The quinazolinone moiety is a privileged pharmacophore
with a wide pharmacological spectrum. Herein, the synthesis, characterization, and neuropharmacological
evaluation of some 2-substituted quinazolinone derivatives are reported.

Methods:

The synthesized compounds were characterized using 1H-NMR and TLC analysis. Behavioral
analysis was performed using EPM (Elevated Plus Maze), OFT (Open Field Test), PIST
(Pentobarbital Induced Sleep Test), FST (Forced Swim Test) and PCPA (p-chlorophenyl alanine)
bioassay. To further justify the therapeutic claim, systemic and neurotoxicological analysis of the
most potent members of the series was performed using OECD mandated protocols. The studies
showed that the compounds had a wide therapeutic window with >1000 mg/kg and >500 mg/kg
LD50 and NOAEL, respectively.

Results:

The compounds with an electronegative group in the quinazolinone nucleus (3f, 3e, 3d,
and 3c) induced anxiolysis devoid of sedative adverse reaction. Besides, anti-depressant efficacy
of 3f, 3e, 3d, and 3c observed in rodents was a result of a decrease in anxiety level. It was found
that the neurotoxicology of the potent members (3f, 3e, 3d, and 3c) advocated their wide therapeutic
window with >1000 mg/kg LD50 and >5000 mg/kg NOAEL.

Conclusion:

Our findings of behavioral bioassays revealed that inducing an electronegative
group into the quinazolinone nucleus yielded the most potent members of the series (3f, 3e, 3d,
and 3c). The said compounds were found to produce anxiolysis and anti-depressive action without
sedative-hypnotic side effects in rodent models. In summary, it can be stated that extending the
studies in a clinical setting would furbish the contours of current anxiolytic therapy, especially in
anxiety comorbid with medical maladies.
The Effect of Nanocurcumin in Improvement of Knee Osteoarthritis: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Authors: Hashemzadeh Kamila , Davoudian Najmeh , Jaafari Mahmoud R. , Mirfeizi Zahra
Published: December 2019

Objective:

Osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease of the joints. Non-steroidal antiinflammatory
drugs (NSAIDs) are being used for the treatment of osteoarthritis. However, their use
is limited due to complications, such as gastrointestinal bleeding. Therefore, it is necessary to find
alternative treatments for osteoarthritis. Recently, nanomicelle curcumin has been developed to increase
the oral bioavailability of curcumin. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of nano
curcumin on the alleviation of the symptoms of knee osteoarthritis patients.

Methods:

In this randomized, double-blind controlled trial, the intervention group was administered
40 mg of nanocurcumin capsule every 12 hours over a period of six weeks, and the control group
received the placebo (similar components of nanomicelle curcumin capsules yet without curcumin).
In the final analysis, 36 patients in the nanocurcumin group and 35 patients in the placebo group
were enrolled. The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC)
was filled for patients in their first visit and at the end of six weeks. Differences were statistically
significant at P-value < 0.05.

Results:

There were no significant differences between the two groups regarding gender, age, Kellgren
score, and the duration of the disease before the intervention. A significant decrease was observed
in the overall score, along with the scores of pain, stiffness and physical activity subscales of
the WOMAC questionnaire in patients of the nano curcumin group compared with the placebo group.

Conclusion:

Nanocurcumin significantly improves the symptoms of osteoarthritis patients.
FDG PET/CT in the Staging of Lung Cancer
Authors: Farsad Mohsen
Published: December 2019

Background.:

Accurate staging is crucial for the proper management of patients with nonsmall
cell lung cancer, especially for choosing the best treatment strategy. Different Imaging methods
are used to stage patients with non-small cell lung cancer. In the last two decades, FDG PET/CT is
carried out in almost all the main Hospitals around the world in this setting.

Objective:

The aim of this paper is to focus on the value of integrated FDG PET/CT in the TNM staging
of the non-small cell lung cancer.

Methods:

A non-systematic revision of the literature was performed in order to identify all papers
about the role of FDG PET/CT in the evaluation of non-small cell lung cancer and to highlight the
value of FDG PET/CT in this setting.

Results:

Many data are now available about this topic, including also randomized controlled trials.
FDG PET/CT is of limited added value in the characterization of T status but it increases the diagnostic
accuracy for the assessment of the nodal status. The main advantage of FDG PET/CT over conventional
imaging methods is its higher sensitivity in identifying extra-thoracic metastases, especially bone
and adrenal lesions.

Conclusion:

PET/CT with FDG should be included in the diagnostic work-up of patients with lung
cancer, because it provides useful information for appropriate therapy.
Exploring the Applications of Machine Learning in Healthcare
Authors: Saleem Tausifa Jan , Chishti Mohammad Ahsan
Published: December 2019

The rapid progress in domains like machine learning, and big data has created plenty
of opportunities in data-driven applications particularly healthcare. Incorporating machine intelligence
in healthcare can result in breakthroughs like precise disease diagnosis, novel methods
of treatment, remote healthcare monitoring, drug discovery, and curtailment in healthcare
costs. The implementation of machine intelligence algorithms on the massive healthcare datasets
is computationally expensive. However, consequential progress in computational power
during recent years has facilitated the deployment of machine intelligence algorithms in
healthcare applications. Motivated to explore these applications, this paper presents a review of research
works dedicated to the implementation of machine learning on healthcare datasets. The studies
that were conducted have been categorized into following groups (a) disease diagnosis and detection,
(b) disease risk prediction, (c) health monitoring, (d) healthcare related discoveries, and (e) epidemic
outbreak prediction. The objective of the research is to help the researchers in this field to get a
comprehensive overview of the machine learning applications in healthcare. Apart from revealing
the potential of machine learning in healthcare, this paper will serve as a motivation to foster advanced
research in the domain of machine intelligence-driven healthcare.
A Hybrid Hyper-Heuristic Flower Pollination Algorithm for Service Composition Problem in IoT
Authors: Kashyap Neeti , Kumari A. Charan , Chhikara Rita
Published: December 2019

Objectives:

The modern science applications have non-continuous and multivariate nature
due to which the traditional optimization methods suffer a lack of efficiency. Flower pollination
is a natural interesting procedure in the real world. The novel optimization algorithms can be
designed by employing the evolutionary capability of the flower pollination to optimize resources.

Methods:

This paper introduces the hybrid algorithm named Hybrid Hyper-Heuristic Flower Pollination
Algorithm, HHFPA. It uses a combination of Flower Pollination Algorithm (FPA) and Hyper-
Heuristic Evolutionary Algorithm (HypEA). This paper compares the basic FPA with the proposed
algorithm named HHFPA. FPA is inspired by the pollination process of flowers whereas the
hyper-heuristic evolutionary algorithm operates on the heuristics search space that contains all the
heuristics to find a solution for a given problem. The proposed algorithm is implemented to solve
the Quality of Service (QoS) based Service Composition Problem (SCoP) in Internet of Things
(IoT). With increasing services with same functionality on the web, selecting a suitable candidate
service based on non-functional characteristics such as QoS has become an inspiration for optimization.

Results:

This paper includes experimental results showing better outcomes to find the best solution
using the proposed algorithm as compared to Basic FPA.

Conclusion:

The empirical analysis also reveals that HHFPA outperformed basic FPA in solving
the SCoP with more convergence rates.

A produção de sentido na dialética da reconstrução histórica do Congado em Uberlândia
Authors: Sousa Gerson De , Bertoni Clarice
Published: December 2019

Será que a produção de sentido do presente do Congado, no cotidiano de Uberlândia, pode ser ratificado pela reconstrução histórica do passado da luta pela identidade do ser negro, sem que recaia na despolitização dos sujeitos pela beleza da representação folclórica ou de ser atrativo turístico? Esse é o problema que move este artigo para analisar historicamente, no campo da comunicação, a produção de sentido do Congado em Uberlândia. A morte de velhas personalidades e a necessidade de renovação deixou em aberto uma ruptura do presente para o passado. É como se o fio da tradição estivesse se rompendo. As perguntas nos remetem a percorrer a análise cultural, por meio dos Estudos Culturais, em que a historicidade, a dialética e o sujeito em movimento se constituem como fatores primordiais para compreender a história do Congado em meio à complexidade dialética do percurso histórico.
Migração Venezuelana no Jornal Nacional
Authors: Marcondes Valéria , Martins Moisés de Lemos
Published: December 2019

Com o propósito de explorar os sentidos narrativos, este artigo analisa o discurso do Jornal Nacional (JN), da Rede Globo, sobre os venezuelanos deslocados para o Brasil em decorrência da crise econômica, política e social em curso na Venezuela. Definimos como recorte temporal 17 edições de 2018 que enquadraram a presença de imigrantes venezuelanos no Brasil. À luz da Sociologia compreensiva identificamos nós cegos nas práticas discursivas do JN. A chegada dos imigrantes é narrada como uma ameaça à normalidade e à estabilidade. A perpetuação deste regime discursivo pode funcionar como um mecanismo de exclusão, gerador de novos medos e inseguranças.

Published: December 2019

Purpose of the study — to compare management efficiency for difficult-to-treat periprosthetic hip joint infection (PJI) during resection arthroplasty with grafting by vastus lateralis pedicle island flap in comparison with insertion of an antimicrobial-loaded cement spacer. Material and Methods. 132 patients were included into the retrospective study who underwent treatment from 2012 until 2018 including removal of orthopaedic implant, radical surgical debridement of infection focus, resection arthroplasty with grafting by vastus lateralis pedicle island muscle flap (PMF group — 57 patients) or insertion of antibacterial-loaded cement spacer (AMS group — 75 patients). The authors examined medical histories, nature of infection process, infection agent type, laboratory data in respect of systemic inflammation, size of bone defects, follow up status and remission of PJI in the late period. Results. 89.4% of patients (n = 51) who underwent grafting by vastus lateralis pedicle island flap had a history of 3 and more prior surgical procedures in the same area. At the same time the share of such patients in the spacer group was only 38.6% (n = 29) (p0.0001) while the share of patients with two and more recurrences was 78.9% (n = 45) and 25.3% (n = 19), respectively (p0.0001). No significant variances were observed between the groups in respect of type composition of PJI microbial infection agents. The infection in a vast majority of patients in both groups was caused by microbial association: 77.2% and 72.0% in PMF and AMS groups, respectively. In the early postoperative period secondary revision of surgical site was performed in 35% and 28% of cases in PMF group (n = 20) and AMS group (n = 21), respectively, including due to recurrent infection in 15.8% and 28% of cases, respectively. Stable remission of difficult-to-treat PJI in PMF group was 96.5% and 45.3% in AMS group. Conclusion. Despite some cases that required secondary revisions in early postoperative period the resection arthroplasty in combination with pedicle muscle flap can be considered a surgery of choice for management of recurrent difficultto-treat PJI with feasible re-implantation of prosthesis against the stable remission of infection.

Within a hybrid framework of attachment and depression theory, we investigated whether introjective and anaclitic vulnerabilities can be detected in a person’s self-narrative as elicited with the Self-Confrontation Method (SCM). One hundred participants held a thorough self-investigation with one of five trainees, in which every person formulated ‘valuations’ (i.e., short sentences about personally relevant concerns) and, subsequently, rated to what degree certain feelings were evoked by every separate text. We extracted several measures from these idiographic data, including scales representing the prominence of certain themes according to the SCM typology (e.g., ‘unfulfilled longing and loss’, ‘anger and opposition’, and ‘powerlessness and isolation’). By analyzing the correlational patterns of the aggregated SCM-based measures and the questionnaire-based measures about attachment orientation and depressive personality vulnerability, we uncovered meaningful relationships. The results of a canonical correlational analysis indicated that an intensified sense of ‘powerlessness and isolation’ is a sign of a general psychopathological vulnerability (related to depression), ‘anger and opposition’ is associated with introjective features (distrust in others and need for control), and ‘unfulfilled longing and loss’ is associated with anaclitic features (pleasing and dependency). In an exploratory qualitative study, we used a cluster-based classification into attachment groups for the exhaustive screening of the content of negative valuations of (a selection of) insecurely attached persons (n = 15). This hermeneutic approach disclosed characteristic themes for each of the preoccupied, dismissive-avoidant and fearful-avoidant attachment styles which are discussed in great detail.

The mapping of research topics for lecturers is necessary to determine the research tendencies in a department or study program. This study aims to implement topic modeling in the publication titles of the Department of Electronics and Informatics Education Engineering of Universitas Negeri Yogyakarta (JPTEI UNY) lecturers taken from Google Scholar. The method used for topic modeling is the Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA). LDA is a generative probabilistic model for finding the semantic structure of a corpus collection based on the hierarchical bayesian analysis. After the topic modeling process, the results showed that JPTEI UNY lecturers tend to have four research clusters consisting of vocational education, system development, learning media, and vocational learning systems.

The projector augmented-wave method was used to study the energetics of oxygen and fluorine bonding on the InSb(111) surface depending on its termination. It is shown that the fluorine adsorption on the In-terminated surface depending on its concentration leads to a partial or complete removal of surface states induced by oxygen adsorption from the forbidden gap. Penetration of both adsorbates into subsurface layers results in breaking of In–Sb bonds and the formation of chemical bonds of fluorine and oxygen with subsurface atoms of the substrate. It is the initial stage of the formation of a fluorine-containing anode oxide layer. In the case of the InSb(111) surface terminated by antimony, oxygen adsorption contributes to a decrease in the density of surface states in the forbidden gap. The general trends in the changes of the electronic structure of the (111) surface during the fluorine and oxygen coadsorption are discussed in a set of III–V semiconductors.

The GaN planar hexagonal microcavities were grown by a selective vapor phase epitaxy. The spectra were measured by the low-temperature cathodoluminescence method in-situ scanning electron microscope. The obtained spectra show a huge Rabi splitting (in order of 100 meV). Numerical simulation of the spatial distribution of the modes’ intensities of a hexagonal resonator is shown. Some modes can have strong spatial localization, leading to strong coupling with the exciton and huge Rabi splitting. Theoretically, we calculated the fraction of excitons in polariton modes, which correlates with the intensity of exciton radiation associated with these modes, for microcavities of a hexagonal shape. Thus, we have obtained the form of the dependence of the radiation probability on the eigenfrequencies of the structure.

The processes of receptors clustering on the surface of blood cells are considered in the nucleation theory framework. In the absence of ligands, the characteristic time of homogeneous nucleation of receptors clustering was assumed to be much longer than a cell's life. By varying the kinetics of the bonds' formation and breaking during receptor clustering, it was possible to describe the activation conditions experimentally observed for several types of blood cells. It was shown that the heterogeneous nucleation characteristic time leading to receptors clustering in the presence of exogenous ligands can be less than one minute. Parametric diagrams are constructed that display the effect of a number of examined ligands on the receptor system. The possible clinical significance of the results is discussed.

The direct magnetocaloric effect (MCE) was measured in pulsed magnetic fields up to 50 T in the Fe49Rh51 alloy. At different initial temperatures in the metamagnetic phase transition with an increase in the field up to 20 T, a reverse MCE ∆T ≈ -8 K is observed, while a further increase in the field to 50 T results in a decrease in the absolute value of the adiabatic temperature change by ~ 1 K, which is connected with direct MCE and indicates a complete transition of the sample into the ferromagnetic phase. The maximum of the absolute value of the adiabatic temperature change |∆Т| = 9.8 K with a decrease in the magnetic field of 6 T on initial temperature of 310 K was observed.
