Tholkappiyar’s meyppadu and Bharathar’s Rasa – Concepts of Aesthetics
Authors: C Porkai Athirai
Published: July 2021

Since ancient times, as Tamil and Sanskrit have been exchanging cultural practices, there are similarities in literary and grammatical principles. Many of Tholkappiyar’s literary principles about Meyppadu in aesthetics are found in Bharadhar’s the Sanskrit literary theorist too, who came after Tholkappiyar, in the north. The eight occasions where Meyppadu occurs, according to Tholkappiyar, are seen in Bharadhar’s also. As per Bharadhar Meyppadu is action. The base for the occurrence of these actions is feeling. Rasa is a feeling. Bhava is a Meyppadu. Feeling breaks out of Meyppadu. Bharadhar’s eight Bhavas are comparable with Tholkappiyar’s eight Meyppadu’s. The aim of the study is to prove that Bharadhar’s theory of Rasa in Sanskrit is a follow up of Tholkappiyar’s literary Meyppadu.

La Paloma: uma história de amor, carros em fanzine
Authors: Pereira de Azevedo Hector , Oikawa Lopes Daniel
Published: July 2021

O presente artigo apresenta um ensaio fotográfico construído a partir de apropriação de imagens e registros fotográficos de uma viagem para o Uruguai e apresentado a partir do formato de um fanzine. O processo de criação do trabalho foi inspirado nos registros fotográficos da família da Luana, minha namorada e nas histórias sobre seus avós nas terras uruguaias. Além dessas histórias, tenho como inspiração pessoal minha ligação com a cultura automotiva presente no país. A pesquisa teórica partirá do artigo de Rony Maltz, sobre fanzines e fotografia, publicado na Revista Zum, e, no que diz respeito à sua origem e os nichos no qual ele se popularizou, recorro à dissertação de Denise Lourenço sobre o tema e os procedimentos para sua construção. Sobre a fotografia contemporânea, conto com Greice Schneider, ao pensar na sequência das imagens e estrutura do fanzine, além dos estudos de Tate Shaw sobre sequenciamento de fotografias em foto livros.

Published: July 2021

El duraznero es un componente estratégico de la Milpa Intercalada con Árboles Frutales (MIAF) por el alto precio del fruto en épocas de escasez, en la que su producción es limitada por el daño que le causan las heladas. El patrón de floración del duraznero es acrópeto y las temperaturas en una helada de radiación son más bajas en el estrato inferior del árbol, lo que lleva a usar árboles compuestos por una variedad de floración tardía (Vft) en el estrato inferior y una de floración precoz (Vfp) en el superior (Cbi-v). El objetivo fue evaluar el rendimiento y calidad de fruto del duraznero en respuesta a la composición varietal del árbol y a la fertilización de dos Vfp y dos Vft en la MIAF en un ambiente con incidencia de heladas. El experimento se estableció en el Campo Experimental Valle de México del INIFAP en el año 2005 y se evaluó en 2012. Con un diseño factorial 25 lotificado a ¼ se analizó la respuesta en dos niveles de los factores composición varietal, fertilizante mineral y pollinaza. Las variables evaluadas fueron parámetros de rendimiento y calidad del fruto, en las que se hizo análisis de varianza, comparación de medias y regresión. La combinación de la Vfp Puebla injertada en la Vft Supremo tuvo el mayor rendimiento (15.1 kg/árbol) y eficiencia del rendimiento (1.46 kg cm-2). La fertilización (90-30-90 g N-P2O5-K2O/árbol/año) incrementó los sólidos solubles totales (SST) en los frutos de Supremo (de 11.1 a 12.6 ºBrix). La pollinaza (3 kg/árbol/año) incrementó los SST en los frutos de Supremo y disminuyó la firmeza y acidez en los de Puebla en la composición bi-varietal. El manejo de la Cbi-v y fertilización mejoró el rendimiento y la calidad de fruto de durazno en la MIAF en ambientes con incidencia de heladas de radiación.
O CLARO E O OBSCURO EM PRIMO LEVI
Authors: Scarpa Domenico
Published: July 2021

Escrito em 1997, este ensaio explora toda a obra de Primo Levi – de É isto um homem? até Os afogados e os sobreviventes, das poesias aos contos de ficção-científica, dos romances aos ensaios – em busca de zonas obscuras de um escritor límpido mas complexo, examinando alguns temas específicos: as origens da sua poesia em versos, a imagem do vazamento de um invólucro, a vingança por interpostas citações literárias, o senso de culpa por ter sobrevivido em um entrelaçamento de citações de Dante Alighieri: a linguagem de Levi é o protagonista constante da investigação.
A MICRO-HISTÓRIA DE PRIMO LEVI
Authors: Spinola Pereira Caldas Pedro
Published: July 2021

Este artigo pretende analisar a caracterização de Primo Levi de que seu livro A Tabela Periódica (1975) é uma obra de história, ou, para ser mais preciso, de micro-história. Como ele não explica o porquê de seu livro deva ser caracterizado desta maneira, proponho que a micro-história, neste livro, seja entendida como uma estética da metamorfose, uma ética crítica do heroísmo e uma epistemologia interessada em detalhes pequenos, mas significativos.

A INCREDULIDADE FRENTE À MALDADE NO HOLOCAUSTO
Authors: Levy Sofia Débora , Ramos de Farias Francisco
Published: July 2021

O grau de maldade perpetrada pelos nazistas no Holocausto foi de tamanha perversidade que chega a gerar reações de incredulidade naqueles que lá não estiveram. Desde aquele período, essa descrença foi utilizada pelos nazistas como salvo-conduto para suas ações destrutivas. Estarrecidas, as vítimas tinham que encontrar recursos para superar o choque e se manter de pé. Depois da guerra, os sobreviventes buscam colocar em palavras suas dores, enfrentando essa incredulidade como meio de combater os grupos revisionistas que dela se aproveitam para distorcer a história.

Effects of botnets – a human-organisational approach
Authors: Bederna Zsolt , Szádeczky Tamás
Published: July 2021

Botnets, the remotely controlled networks of computers with malicious aims, have significantly affected the international order from Ukraine to the United States in recent years. Disruptive software, such as malware, ransomware, and disruptive services, provided by those botnets has many specific effects and properties. Therefore, it is paramount to improve the defences against them. To tackle botnets more or less successfully, one should analyse their code, communication, kill chain, and similar technical properties. However, according to the Business Model for Information Security, besides technological attributes, there is also a human and organisational aspect to their capabilities and behaviour. This paper aims to identify the aspects of different attacks and present an analysis framework to identify botnets’ technological and human attributes. After researching the literature and evaluating our previous findings in this research project, we formed a unified framework for the human-organisational classification of botnets. We tested the defined framework on five botnet attacks, presenting them as case studies. The chosen botnets were ElectrumDoSMiner, Emotet, Gamover Zeus, Mirai, and VPNFilter. The focus of the comparison was motivation, the applied business model, willingness to cooperate, capabilities, and the attack source. For defending entities, reaching the target state of defending capabilities is impossible with a one-time development due to cyberspace’s dynamic behaviour and botnets. Therefore, one has to develop cyberdefence and conduct threat intelligence on botnets using such methodology as that presented in this paper. This framework comprises people and technological attributes according to the BMIS model, providing the defender with a standard way of classification.

Unification of Empirical Distribution of Water Quality Indicators on the basis of Normal Law and Power Law
Authors:   Averbukh A.I., Rozental O.M.
Published: July 2021

Proposed unification of the laws of distribution of concentrations of foreign substances in the water by describing their left and central parts by the truncated Gaussian function, and the right often heavy branches by the function of the Gutenberg-Richter. It is shown that such unifi cation is natural in the most important practical cases of increased variability of water due to combination of random (full-time) and nonrandom (abnormal) infl uencing factors. On the basis of examples concerning river waters and waste waters, justice of the proposed unification has been shown; it enables to reduce the diversity of forms of the investigated functions for rational minimum, thus contributing to the development of common rules for the management of sustainable water use.

Authors: Waheeda Fathimath
Published: July 2021

INTRODUCTION
The health emergency crisis due the COVID-19 pandemic has created challenges globally. The same applies to the Maldives, as lockdown and social distancing measures was enforced, the use of virtual communication by public authorities, businesses and individuals likewise increased. The new normal of working from home, video conferencing and meetings, online learning and shopping have created a large group of vulnerable users, providing more opportunities for cybercriminals to exploit. In a time where resources are diverted to fight against the COVID-19 pandemic, the law enforcement, investigative and judicial procedures may be delayed or disrupted due to compulsory prevention measures. The changing face of cybercrime needs to be addressed through non-legal measures to reduce the detrimental effect.
OBJECTIVES
New cybercrimes have emerged during the pandemic, which has affected the vulnerable users in a difficult and unprecedented time. The objective of the study is to identify the nature of cybercrime, including the emerging crimes and to examine how these issues could be addressed through legal and non-legal measures.
METHODOLOGY
The methodology adopted is through the study of secondary data collected through research of recent articles, legal statutes and newspaper articles from March 2020 until present. The data collected was applied through study, observation and analysis.
SIGNIFICANCE
This study will identify the emerging crimes during the pandemic, and bring together different approaches, including non-law measures to highlight the best method to address this issue.
FINDINGS/RESULTS
Forms of cybercrimes identified as prevalent in the country, namely (1) misinformation; (2) phishing and (3) privacy issues. Misinformation and disinformation regarding the virus, cures and conspiracies plays a key role in undermining the public trust and the effectiveness of the public safety measures. The ability to take action through legal measures were limited due inabilty to investigate, non-existence of applicable provisions, underreporting and late reporting amongst others. Non-legal measures such as awareness campaigns and cyber-education were utilised to empower vulnerable groups, especially children and seniors against emerging new forms of cybercrimes.
CONCLUSIONS
With the changing face of cybercrime and the prolonged uncertain future due to COVID-19, there should less reliance on the law and more proactive measures enacted at all levels to reduce the harmful effects.

Authors: Mansor Nur Hanani , Che Jaafar Nazirah , Johari Mohamad Arfan , Kannan Parthiban , Tan Say Peng
Published: July 2021

Several oil palm sustainable certification schemes have been introduced in Malaysia such as MPOB Codes of Good Agricultural Practices (MPOB CoGAP) Certification, Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) certification, and Malaysia Sustainable Palm Oil (MSPO) Certification. All these certifications have been successfully accepted in many of the oil palm estates except the ISH. There is a big challenge to certify the Malaysian ISH because they are lack farm management practice. Therefore, Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB) has introduced the individual sustainable certification to the ISH, which is known as Good Agricultural Practice (GAP) certification. This paper's main objectives are to identify the GAP acceptance level (compliant, partial-compliant, and non-compliant) recommended by MPOB and determine the factors affecting GAP certification acceptance among the ISH in Malaysia. This study was conducted in all states in Malaysia, and the data were collected from a total of 400 respondents selected through the Proportionate Random Sampling Method. The results showed that 58% of the ISH partially comply by receiving the GAP certificate. while only 26% fulfilled the requirements, thus eligible for GAP certification. Two factors that significantly influenced the GAP compliance among the ISH were the respondents' education level and the age of palm oil plantation. The results of this study indicated that GAP on fertiliser application and record-keeping were adopted by the ISH and significantly affecting their compliant level of MPOB GAP Certification among ISH.

Almost one million hectares of oil palm in Malaysia have been planted by the oil palm independent smallholders (OPISH). Most of these farms are small size holding and scatters throughout Malaysia. These factors cause them to face several problems and consequently put their income below potential. To assist the OPISH, the government had introduced the oil palm grower cooperative known as Koperasi Penanam Sawit Mampan (KPSM). The objective of KPSM is to increase the oil palm yield, OPISH incomes, and as a platform of interaction between OPISH and extension officers to discuss their problems. However, cooperatives' performance can be influenced by several factors. This paper aims to study the extension officer and members' participation as independent variables. Good governance is incorporated as a moderator variable to investigate a cooperative's performance. The partial least squares (PLS 3.0) and structural equation modelling instruments are used to analyse the data in this study. Most of the respondents are male, and 22% are of the younger generation. The results demonstrated that good governance (p-value of 0.095(p<0.1) and t=1.669 (more than 1.64) has a moderate relationship between members' participation and cooperatives' performance. On the other hand, good governance did not strengthen the relationship between the extension officer and co-operatives performance.

The implementation of the Movement Control Order (MCO) in Malaysia which began on 18 March 2020 after the COVID-19 pandemic has profound implications especially to the local community in Sabah. The implementation of MCO is a new experience among the people in the country. Various efforts were made to alleviate the burden of the people as a result of the pandemic and the implementation of the PKP, including various assistance to the local community. The question is, to what extent is the procedure and effectiveness of aid distribution to the community during the period of the movement control order? Therefore, this study examines the related issue at few selected villages in the districts of Kunak and Lahad Datu, Sabah. The approach used in the study is exploratory and evaluative. This study uses a quantitative method through the distribution of questionnaires and observation in the study area. The study sample was a total of 105 people who were randomly selected. The result showed that there were three aid distribution arrangement procedures used: distribution arrangement through bank accounts (financial related), distribution arrangement through door-to-door delivery, and distribution arrangement through receipt at nearby aid centres. The majority of respondents stated that the aid distribution arrangement procedure of aid distribution which through door-to-door delivery, is 100 people or the equivalent of 75.2%. In addition, the results of the study also found that the majority of respondents, namely 70 respondents (66.7%) stated that the aid distribution arrangement procedure is ‘effective’, 27.6% thought as ‘very effective’ and the rest stated as ‘less effective’, that is about 5.7%. Therefore, the results of the study are important for documentation and literature reference related to pandemic and community issues as well as beneficial to the authorities to improve the effectiveness of aid distribution procedures to local communities in the future.

Published: July 2021

Electronic Medical Records (EMR) is an important communications channel relating to patient health conditions. Unfortunately, many hospitals in Africa, including Nigeria, have not implemented EMR. The few Hospitals that have some level of EMR continues are still struggling with the use of paper and hybrid medical records, which has led to inadequate medical follow-up, medical error, and long waiting time for patients. A sample size of three hundred and ninety-seven (397) was determined using krejcie and morgan models, comprising of strategic managers, and the operational staff drawn from a population of 2889 in the selected hospitals. At the hospital level, purposive sampling was applied in picking strategic managers, while stratified random sampling was method was used to select operational health workers. Questionnaires were used for data collection. The study adopted a descriptive statistical analysis method to describe the existing medical records systems. The finding indicated that the systems in the hospitals are mainly paper-based. The hospitals are also using hybrid system with a few treatment areas having fully electronic medical records systems. In the area where EMR has been implemented, the finding indicates poor penetration of the EMR system, limited modules, staff readiness and poor performance in the treatment area, among others. The study concluded that hospitals that have implemented, EMR is not serving the classical purpose of medical record of supporting treatment and follow up. The study recommended that the selected hospitals should ensure there is the availability of fund, staff training, and technical infrastructures like electronic record managers, ICT support staff, and computer compatible medical devices, among others.

Published: July 2021

Research
of pressure sensor chip utilizing novel electrical circuit with
bipolar-junction transistor-based (BJT) piezosensitive differential amplifier
with negative feedback loop (PDA-NFL) for 5 kPa differential range was done.
The significant advantages of developed chip PDA-NFL in the comparative
analysis of advanced pressure sensor analogs, which are using the Wheatstone
piezoresistive bridge, are clearly shown. The experimental results prove that
pressure sensor chip PDA-NFL with 4.0x4.0 mm2 chip area has
sensitivity S = 11.2 ± 1.8 mV/V/kPa with nonlinearity of 2KNLback =
0.11 ± 0.09 %/FS (pressure is applied from the back chip side) and 2KNLtop
= 0.18 ± 0.09 %/FS (pressure is applied from the top chip side). All temperature
characteristics have low errors, because the precision elements balance of
PDA-NFL electric circuit was used. Additionally, the burst pressure is 80 times
higher than the working range.
Damping of Torsional Vibrations in a Type-IV Wind Turbine Interfaced to a Grid-Forming Converter
Authors: AVAZOV Artur , Colas Frédéric , Beerten Jef , Guillaud Xavier
Published: July 2021

This paper introduces
a Type-IV wind turbine interfaced to a grid-forming converter. In order to
retain the stable operation of a wind turbine in the presence of a grid-forming
control, the classical control of a back-to-back converter has to be modified. The
modification of this control creates a strong link between a wind turbine and
grid dynamics. From the grid side perspective, this link allows provision of
the inertial response from a wind turbine during transient events. On the wind
turbine side, this coupling causes the appearance of the torsional vibrations
within the drivetrain structure. These vibrations are then propagated to the
grid as power oscillations. As a result, there is a negative impact on the
mechanical components of a wind turbine as well as on the power system
operation. In this work, a solution is introduced in order to suppress the
undesired vibrations by applying a damping technique to the control of a
back-to-back converter combined with a grid-forming control. Based on the
conducted analysis, the addition of a damping filter results in the mitigation
of torsional vibrations.
