Local Environment and Dynamic Behavior of Fluoride Anions in Silicogermanate Zeolites: A Computational Study of the AST Framework
Authors: Fischer Michael
Published: October 2018

In silicogermanate zeolites containing double four-ring (d4r) building units, the germanium atoms preferentially occupy the corners of these cube-like units. While this general behaviour is well known, the absence of long-range order precludes a determination of the preferred arrangements of Si and Ge atoms at the corners of d4r cages by means of crystallographic methods. If fluoride anions are present during the synthesis, these are incorporated into the d4r cages. Due to the sensitivity of the 19F chemical shift to the local environment, NMR experiments can provide indirect insights into the predominant (Si,Ge) arrangements. However, conflicting interpretations have been reported, both with regard to the preference for, or avoidance of, Ge-O-Ge linkages, and concerning the equilibrium position of fluorine inside the cage, where fluorine might either occupy the cage centre or participate in a partly covalent Ge-F bond. In order to shed light on the energetically preferred local arrangements, periodic electronic structure calculations in the framework of dispersion-corrected density functional theory (DFT) were performed. The AST framework was used as a suitable model system, as this zeolite is synthetically accessible across the range of (Si1-n,Gen)O2 compositions (0 ≤ n ≤ 1). DFT structure optimisations for (Si,Ge)-AST systems containing fluoride anions and organic cations revealed that arrangements of Si and Ge at the cage vertices which maximise the number of Ge-O-Ge linkages are energetically preferred, and that fluorine tends to form relatively short (~2.2 to 2.4 Å) bonds to Ge atoms that are surrounded by Ge-O-Ge linkages. The preference for Ge-O-Ge linkages disappears in the absence of fluorine, pointing to a “templating” effect of the anions. In addition to the prediction of equilibrium structures, DFT-based Molecular Dynamics calculations were performed for selected AST models in order to analyse the dynamics of fluoride anions confined to d4r cages. These calculations showed that the freedom of movement of fluorine varies markedly depending on the local environment, and that it correlates with the average Ge-F distance (short Ge-F bonds = restricted motion). An analysis of the Ge-F radial distribution functions provided no evidence for a coexistence of separate local energy minima at the cage centre and in the proximity of a germanium atom for any of the systems considered. The computational approach pursued in this work provides important new insights into the local structure of silicogermanate zeolites with d4r units, enhancing the atomic-level understanding of these materials. In particular, the findings presented here constitute valuable complementary information that can aid the interpretation of experimental data.

Published: October 2018

The paper provides a methodological and methodical study of creation of a federal risk management system in the sphere of economics at the federal level (further - FRMS) provided for in a number of normative and concept selection documents recently accepted in the Russian Federation in order to organize and a regulate the activities for ensuring economic security of the Russian Federation. The study offers an evidence-based methodological basis for the creation of the FRMS with the use of modern approaches to the analysis of complex organizational systems. The research takes a system and vital methodological approaches and is based on the theory of development, the theory of management, and risk management practices of economic entities. The study states the methodological approach to the creation and functioning of the FRMS in concordance with “The strategy of economic security of the Russian Federation until 2030”. The authors identify the main characteristics of a national risk management system which features a higher level of complexity as compared to a corporation, a variety of terms and factors of existence and development, and a wider range of challenges, threats and risks as well as objectives and thus a wider range of operational values, criteria and sustainable development and efficiency indicators. The paper provides the bases for the realization of the purposes and functions of the FRMS and details its objectives. The article describes the methodological platform of the FRMS formation. The realization of the suggested methodology requires the involvement of subject matter specialists in various areas of knowledge and design - social systems, institutional approach to social and economic management, modeling of social objects, organizational systems, information and conceptual modeling, macroeconomics, information technologies, cognitive science and expert systems. The realization of the system requires the development of a road map and standard legal support, particularly, the statutorization of tasks and functions of national and economic security provision in the local acts regulating the activity of FSRM subjects - public authorities.
Issues of Regulating Economic Agents Behavior in Territorial Development Management
Authors: Nizamutdinov M. M. , Oreshnikov V. V.
Published: October 2018

One of the key problems in managing the development of territorial socio-economic systems is inconsistency and contradictory interests of various economic agents. In modern conditions, it is impossible to avoid the need to reconcile interests, even when one of the parties is the subject of management. The article examines the process of regulating behavior of economic agents in the system of strategic management of territorial development. The procedures of decision-making and the influence of various factors on them, including regulators are analyzed. Developing of an approach to managing the behavior of economic agents in the territorial socio-economic system based on the interests of not only management systems, but also the economic agents themselves.

Methodology.The research is based on the principles of system and complexity, factor analysis, comparative analysis, grouping methods, economic and mathematical modeling, elements of set theory and fuzzy logic are also used.

The general methodical scheme of behavior management of economic agents at the regional level, characterized by the presence of an iterative procedure of differential impact on the factors and deterministic properties of the behavior of agents with a mechanism for assessing the degree of influence of regulatory actions based on feedback, is proposed. The developed approach allows to form within the framework of market mechanisms, the target scenario of the behavior of economic agents in the process of developing a coherent strategy for the development of the regional socio-economic system.

The development and adoption of managerial decisions should be based on taking into account the interests of all stakeholders. Therefore, this role of public authorities also includes the definition of regulators, allowing adjusting and coordinating the behavior of other economic agents. It is also should be mentioned that management bodies can also act as interacting agents. Accordingly, local self-government bodies act not only in the role of an element of management system, but also in the role of a legally independent counterparty when interacting with the governing bodies of a constituent entity of the Russian federation.
THE INFLUENCE OF THE TONALITY OF NEWS ON THE EXCHANGE RATE OF BITCOIN
Authors: Fedorova E. A. , Bechvaya K. Z. , Rogov O. Yu.
Published: October 2018

The authors assess the impact of the emotional tonality of bitcoin news on its exchange rate. In particular, we studied the hypothesis of the impact of the readability index of the news text on the volatility of bitcoin. Despite the fact that excessive volatility threatens bitcoin not to become a successful currency, many scientists are interested in the determinants of such volatility. Factors such as speculative investments or the attention of the society are the drivers of the volatility of the exchange rate of bitcoin. In this regard, the question of studying the impact of news on the bitcoin exchange rate is relevant. The purpose of this paper is to assess the impact of the emotional tonality of bitcoin news on its exchange rate. The empirical base of the study was quite extensive since it includes more than 1330 news from the Thomson Reuters information base for the period from 19.08.2011 to 16.08.2016 on the bitcoin market. The research methodology includes the sentiment analysis conducted by using the dictionary MacDonald and Loughran and also the analysis of the interdependence of time series-based causal analysis using the test of Granger causation. We present three hypotheses about the impact of news on the bitcoin exchange rate. During the study, two of them were confirmed. We proved the first hypothesis that the negative news had a more significant impact than positive ones, taking into account the five time-lags. The second hypothesis about the impact of positive tonality in the news on the bitcoin exchange rate, using the Granger test for causation, was not confirmed, since the positive values of this test were obtained in two time-lags out of five. We can confirm that the third hypothesis was proved — the high readability index has an impact on the bitcoin volatility for the entire studied period, taking into account all five time-lags. Thus, the assumption about the impact of the emotional tonality of news on the bitcoin exchange rate can be confirmed.
KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS OF THE BANK’S DISTRESSED ASSETS AND THEIR CALCULATION
Authors: Dolzhenko R. A.
Published: October 2018

At the present, the success of a credit institution is possible only if it can organize effective work with distressed assets. They can be managed through a system of key performance indicators, which allows decomposition of the goals of the organizational unit to specific, measurable indicators. The purpose of this article is a presentation of key performance indicators (KPI), grounded on the formation of the basic principles of management of distressed assets, the methodological approaches to their assessment and calculations, and also formulas for the calculation of specific KPIs. My research was conducted using the methods of theoretical knowledge, logical methods and methods of comparative analysis. First, I have identified the main signs of the problem of the consumers’ indebtedness, as well as a list of documents on the basis of which it is possible to conclude that the assets are distressed. Secondly, I have outlined the main tools for working with the bank’s distressed assets, implemented in the framework of the bank’s strategies of action. Thirdly, I identified key performance indicators of operations with distressed assets of the bank, methodological approaches to their evaluation, the sources for the calculation of the key performance indicators of operations with distressed assets of the bank, as well as the basic formulas by which one can calculate the necessary components of the KPI. The use of the proposed KPIs will allow the Bank to solve strategic and tactical (operational) tasks in the field of working with distressed assets, as well as to achieve the growth of the quality of work with distressed debts. The KPIs proposed in this article can be introduced into the system of assessing the activities of the division as a whole and its managers for working with distressed debts and can become the basis for the system of staff incentives.
Surveillance on speed: Being aware of infectious diseases in migrants mass accommodations - an easy and flexible toolkit for field application of syndromic surveillance, Germany, 2016 to 2017

Published: October 2018

Europe received an increased number of migrants in 2015. Housing in inadequate mass accommodations (MA) made migrants prone to infectious disease outbreaks. In order to enhance awareness for infectious diseases (ID) and to detect clusters early, we developed and evaluated a syndromic surveillance system in three MA with medical centres in Berlin, Germany. Healthcare workers transferred daily data on 14 syndromes to the German public health institute (Robert Koch-Institute). Clusters of ID syndromes and single cases of outbreak-prone diseases produced a signal according to a simple aberration-detection algorithm that computes a statistical threshold above which a case count is considered unusually high. Between May 2016–April 2017, 9,364 syndromes were reported; 2,717 (29%) were ID, of those 2,017 (74%) were respiratory infections, 262 (10%) skin parasites, 181 (7%) gastrointestinal infections. The system produced 204 signals, no major outbreak was detected. The surveillance reinforced awareness for public health aspects of ID. It provided real-time data on migrants' health and stressed the burden of non-communicable diseases. The tool is available online and was evaluated as being feasible and flexible. It complements traditional notification systems. We recommend its usage especially when laboratory testing is not available and real-time data are needed.
Heart Feminism
Authors: Pollock Anne
Published: October 2018

This article considers wide-ranging heart-centered approaches to understanding bodies, objects, and personhood. It puts these into in tension with other ways of approaching questions of life and embodiment, especially ones inspired by neuroscience, to argue that thinking with the heart has value for feminist theory. The heart that is my object traverses scale, and the paper’s analysis moves from the inside out – from heart cells, to hearts and circulatory systems, to women interpellated into heart health, to public debates on personhood that mobilize fetal heartbeats and contested cases of women on life support. I draw on biological and lay ways of understanding the heart, and on mundane intimacy of knowledge of the heartbeat as a sign of life and personhood. Articulating the body through the heart provides opportunities to theorize the body and the object in new ways, pushing back against rhizomic and egalitarian aspirations and toward nuanced accounts of power. The engagement with the heart is speculative and wide-ranging, a provocation for feminist theorists to think with the heart.
Enchanting Catastrophe: Magical Subrealism and BP's Macondo
Authors: Orr Jackie
Published: October 2018

Remembering the late 19th century deployment of spiritualist technologies (divining rods, witching sticks) to locate oil deposits in the Americas, this visual essay situates U.S. petroleum culture in an occult genealogy of capitalist sorcery and supernatural materialism. The essay re-imagines the branded “BP” oil spill as an enchanted disaster unfolding across implicate orders of colonial phantasm, new subsea infrastructures of petro-capitalism, and the mundane inferno of deep time. How to envision the BP disaster—and its expansive subsea digital archive—as a ‘magic site,’ where natural and supernatural blend? What can magical subrealism offer as both an analytics of contemporary power and a style of performative feminist conjuring? How really to think, with oil, the thought that thought may be unhuman?

Configuring the Other: Sensing War through Immersive Simulation
Authors: Suchman Lucy
Published: October 2018

This paper draws on archival materials to read two demonstrations of FlatWorld, an immersive military training simulation developed between 2001 and 2007 at the University of Southern California’s Institute for Creative Technologies. The first demonstration is a video recording of a guided tour of the system, staged by its designers in 2005. The second is a documentary created by the US Public Broadcasting Service as part of their “embedded” media coverage of the system while it was installed at California’s Camp Pendleton in 2007. I critically attend to the imaginaries that are realized in the simulation’s figurations of places and (raced, gendered) bodies, as well as its storylines. This is part of a wider project of understanding how distinctions between the real and the virtual are effectively elided in technoscientific military discourses, in the interest of recognizing real/virtual entanglements while also reclaiming the differences that matter.
Racial Fictions, Biological Facts: Expanding the Sociological Imagination through Speculative Methods
Authors: Benjamin Ruha
Published: October 2018

The facts, alone, will not save us. Social change requires novel fictions that reimagine and rework all that is taken for granted about the current structure of society. Such narratives are not meant to convince others of what is, but to expand our own visions of what is possible: It is 2064. A reparations initiative that allows victims of police brutality to regenerate organs is well underway. A major new component of the initiative will be unveiled for the fiftieth anniversary of the Ferguson uprising, but the largest biobank in the country has been repeatedly hit by raiders intent on selling stem cells on the white market. Aiyana and her team of Risers have to find a way to secure the cell depository and revitalize the movement. Fictions, in this sense, are not falsehoods but refashionings through which analysts experiment with speculative methods, challenge ever-present narratives of inevitability, anticipate new racial formations, and test different possibilities for creating more just and equitable societies.
Temporality and Belonging as Transdisciplinary Objects: Strategic Encounters between Queer Theory and Population Genetic Technologies
Authors: Oikkonen Venla
Published: October 2018

This article asks how to study evasive and seemingly immaterial transdisciplinary phenomena such as affective dynamics that organize our technoscientific societies and cultures. The article argues that understanding such phenomena requires developing methodologies that engage fields of knowledge production that appear unrelated. The article uses the dynamics of temporality and belonging underlying population genetics as a case study. I show how two seemingly incompatible fields of knowledge production – queer theorization of temporality and population genetic technologies and practices – can together engender new insights on the ways in which temporality and belonging organize population genetic knowledge. I argue that neither field of knowledge production could achieve such insight alone; instead, insight emerges from the unexpected resonances as well as friction between the two fields. I develop this argument through an analysis of the configurations of temporality and belonging on the Genographic Project website.
Those who can’t, teach: critical science literacy as a queer science of failure
Authors: Giordano Sara
Published: October 2018

In this paper, I argue that those of us who have left the Sciences proper and moved to feminist studies spaces have continued to do science through our teaching. In a moment when the impulse to do real science is palpitating in our feminist hearts, I suggest that we critically examine the political stakes of our affective attachments and detachments from s/Science(s). I consider what it means to be attached to a Science that earned its epistemic authority through its co-constitution with colonization and slavery. I argue that passion for science may act to strengthen the relationship between Science and Truth and conversely, willful refusal and failure may be used to break the bond. I offer critical science literacy as a practice that can directly challenge the epistemic authority of Science and be read as "doing science" or more broadly as "rewriting knowledge."

Reading Blood Work is an Art Form: Toward an Embodied Feminist Practice of Veterinary Science and Care
Authors: Gundermann Christian
Published: October 2018

What are the advantages of a concrete, embodied relationship between human subjects and their non-human objects of care for the veterinary process of knowledge production? The scientific reductionism that frames formal studies makes much of the knowledge gained in those studies questionable or severely limited, since many important factors of real life illnesses and their causation and cure are excluded from consideration for the sake of clinical control and traditional scientific objectivity. This essay narrates my experience with my mare Lilly who suffered from a rare auto-immune disease; at the same time, it describes and analyzes the history and strategies of the world's largest internet-based equine patient advocacy network on metabolic illness, a network that supported my journey of knowledge acquisition and contribution, through our case history, to a larger alternative veterinary cause of knowledge production. Located between Feminist Science Studies and Critical Animal Studies, this project explores the notion of touch and raises questions about the biomedical field's present-day heavy reliance on visual diagnostics. What is the relation between visual technologies and the detached, disembodied knowledge "from nowhere" that conventional science believes in? How much of the alternative to this way of knowing lies in touch, embodied assistance, relationality, and intuition?And finally, in observing and documenting the relationship at the heart of this venture around knowledge, my essay also suggest that this is a queer project where queerness is understood as the careful but radical reconfiguration of kinship in the context of Haraway’s recent call to “make kin, not babies.”
The Art of Failure in Robotics: Queering the (Un)Making of Success and Failure in the Companion Robot Laboratory
Authors: Treusch Pat
Published: October 2018

This article investigates an emerging class of contemporary machines: the robot companion. It is introduced as a robot that will accompany ‘us’ in ‘our’ human everyday lives. This article analyzes one example of how robot companionship is realized while querying how this realization might imply a change in how ‘we’ conceive of human/machine relations. Drawing on central insights into the making of the humanoid Armar, the author develops an approach to emerging human/machine relations through affects, more precisely through the affective strategies and affective labors taking place in the robotics laboratory. She furthermore suggests taking a posthumanist perspective on the analysis, which entails becoming attentive to the intra-active co-production between human and machine. Importantly, this also allows her to tweak the powerful differentiation between success and failure at work in this specific setting, the robotics laboratory. How can ‘we’ rethink human/machine relations of humanlike interaction through queering success and failure at the robot/human interface? Finally, the author suggests establishing an understanding of laboratory work on the project of the humanlike companion that takes into account the queering potential of failure – centrally by emphasizing the interweaving of knowing and affects, rather than neglecting their connection. At stake seems to be the possibility to develop visions of how to turn the capitalist endeavor of increasing rationalizations of ‘human everyday lives’ into a more responsible and accountable practice of technologization that takes into account the largely neglected dimensions of human/machine relations beyond the success/failure binary.
Ungrid-able Ecologies: Decolonizing the Ecological Sensorium in a 10,000 year-old NaturalCultural Happening
Authors: Myers Natasha
Published: October 2018

In the photo essay that follows, I share some field notes two years into a long-term research-creation collaboration with award-winning dancer and filmmaker Ayelen Liberona. Becoming Sensor mixes art, ecology, and anthropology in an attempt to do ecology otherwise. Part of a long-term ethnographic research project on an urban park in Toronto, Becoming Sensor speculates on protocols for an ungrid-able ecology of a 10,000 year-old naturalcultural happening. In this project, Ayelen and I engage the expansive mediations of art and the artful attentions of ethnography to remake the naturalist’s notebook. This more-than-natural history of an oak savannah in Toronto’s High Park offers one approach to cultivating a robust mode of knowing grounded in queer, feminist, decolonial politics.

Review on Different Beneficial Ways of Applying Alum Sludge in a Sustainable Disposal Manner
Authors: Odimegwu Temple Chimuanya , Zakaria I. , Abood M. M. , Nketsiah C. B. K. , Ahmad M.
Published: October 2018

Disposal of waste from water treatment plant is one of the major issues most treatment plants seem not to overcome due to the constant generation of this waste as a result of meeting the demand of water and purification of water for human consumption. The effect of disposing sludge constantly in the environment has called for an economical and sustainable way of reusing alum sludge. However, this paper aimed at reviewing the possible literature on applying waste from water treatment plant in various ways, example; in building material; as brick and tiles, in concrete ; as replacement of cement and aggregate, in Geotechnics; as soil stabilizer and in agriculture; as soil fertilizer, in pottery; use as replacement of clay in flower pot production for sustainable disposal. All the above mentioned categories of uses have reviled an effective and efficient way in managing waste from water treatment plant (alum sludge), also a safer and economical manner of disposal.  However, the effects when used and the behaviour when it is incorporated with other materials were highlighted, other reuse and disposal options where discussed and the areas not covered (knowledge gap) was identified.
Оцінка якості життя хворих із хронічним обструктивним захворюванням легень із застосуванням опитувальника SF-36
Authors: Horbata Roksolana
Published: October 2018

Актуальність теми дослідження. Хронічне обструктивне захворювання легень  сьогодні займає одне з перших місць у структурі захворюваності дорослого працездатного населення України. Гостроти проблемі додають економічні втрати в загальнодержавному масштабі, які зумовлені вартістю лікування та значним погіршенням якості життя таких осіб. Необхідність підвищення ефективності відновного лікування таких пацієнтів вимагає добору швидких й інформативних методів діагностики їхньою функціонального стану. Мета й методи дослідження – установити рівень якості життя пацієнтів із ХОЗЛ, застосовуючи опитувальник SF-36. Метод дослідження – анкетування за допомогою опитувальника SF-36, що передбачає застосування восьми блоків запитання для з’ясування рівня якості життя пацієнтів пульмонологічного профілю. Результати роботи та ключові висновки. Нами обстежено 25 чоловіків у віці 56–64 роки, яким діагностовано ХОЗЛ. Для порівняння отриманих результатів додатково обстежено 17 практично здорових чоловіків того ж віку. Проведення опитування для з’ясування впливу фізичної активності на якість життя пацієнтів із ХОЗЛ показало, що середнє значення оцінки в балах у них було достовірно меншим за таке в здорових пацієнтів, що дає підстави стверджувати про суттєвий вплив наявності хвороби на їх руховий режим. Проте оцінка відповідей, що стосувалися ролі фізичних проблем в обмеженні їхньої життєдіяльності, засвідчила, що чоловіки з ХОЗЛ не вважають наявність хвороби тією причиною, що заважає їм виконувати повсякденну роботу. Як висновок, маємо певну неузгодженість у ставленні осіб чоловічої статі з ХОЗЛ до змісту своєї хвороби та її впливу на їхню якість життя. Отримані результати свідчать про потребу включення до реабілітаційної програми таких пацієнтів факторів, які дали їм можливість усвідомити зміст хвороби і її вплив на організм. Одним із таких чинників ми розглядаємо психологічну реабілітацію.

RELASI APROKSIMASI ANTARA DIAMETER KAWAH TUMBUKAN DI BUMI DAN UKURAN OBJEK PENUMBUK DARI SIMULASI NUMERIK
Authors: Utama Judhistira Aria
Published: October 2018

Di permukaan Bulan dan planet-planet terestrial dapat dijumpai kawah-kawah hasil tumbukan benda-benda angkasa. Studi ini mencoba memperoleh relasi aproksimasi antara diameter kawah tumbukan di Bumi terhadap ukuran objek yang diperlukan untuk membentuk kawah tersebut. Studi dilakukan menggunakan simulasi numerik terhadap ribuan sampel asteroid dekat-Bumi  nyata dalam orbit yang telah dikenal dengan baik. Menggunakan asumsi bahwa jumlah kawah yang dibentuk di permukaan Bumi sama dengan banyaknya asteroid dekat-Bumi yang menumbuk dalam kurun waktu tertentu, diperoleh bahwa diperlukan asteroid dengan diameter yang lebih kecil untuk menghasilkan kawah-kawah besar yang dikenal dibandingkan prediksi yang ada sebelumnya. Pengetahuan tentang ukuran fisik asteroid penumbuk dapat digunakan dalam mengestimasi besarnya energi tumbukan yang dihasilkan, yang berhubungan pula dengan strategi metode mitigasi yang diperlukan.

Otonomi Khusus di Aceh dan Papua di Tengah Fenomena Korupsi, Suatu Strategi Penindakan Hukum
Authors: Suharyo Suharyo
Published: October 2018

Otonomi khusus di Aceh dan Papua, merupakan suatu desentralisasi asimetrik, sebagai jalan tengah untuk mewujudkan kesejahteraan masyarakat, dalam menyelesaian konflik bersenjata yang menginginkan pemisahan dari Negara Kesatuan yang merdeka. Penerapan otonomi khusus tersebut didasarkan pada Undang-Undang Nomor 18 Tahun 2001 tentang Otonomi Khusus Bagi Daerah Istimewa Aceh Sebagai Provinsi Nangroe Aceh Darussalam, dan Undang-Undang Nomor 18 Tahun 2001 Tentang Otonomi Khusus Bagi Provinsi Papua. Pemberlakuan otonomi khusus di Aceh, tidak dapat berjalan sebagaimana yang diharapkan. Reaksi keras menolak otonomi khusus dilakukan oleh gerakan perlawanan bersenjata Gerakan Aceh Merdeka (GAM). Namun berkenaan adanya bencana nasional Tsunami Desember 2004, dengan kehancuran Banda Aceh total, Meulaboh dan daerah sekitarnya, dengan korban tewas mencapai lebih dari 112.000 jiwa, dan dengan keterbukaan pemerintah, akhirnya tercapai MOU Helsinki Finlandia, yang berujung dikeluarkannya Undang- Undang Nomor 11 Tahun 2006 Tentang Pemerintahan Aceh. Adapun rumusan masalah dalam penelitian ini adalah apa yang melatarbelakangi fenomena korupsi di Aceh dan Papua, dan bagaimana strategi penindakannya. Metode yang dipakai adalah yuridis normatif. Dalam perkembangan di Provinsi Papua, dibentuk provinsi baru melalui Undang-Undang Nomor 35 Tahun 2008 Tentang Pembentukan Provinsi Papua Barat. Ironisnya upaya mensukseskan otonomi khusus tersebut, baik di Aceh maupun di Papua, justru terjadi fenomena korupsi. Sampai sekarang, pemberantasan korupsi yang dilakukan oleh jajaran penegak hukum yaitu Polri, Kejaksaan, maupun KPK, cenderung kurang maksimal Untuk itu sangat diperlukan strategi penindakan dengan langkah yang represif.
An Evaluation of the Classification Scheme for Adventists and Ellen White
Authors: Tan Felipe E. , Robertson Terry Dwain
Published: October 2018

Libraries at Seventh-day Adventist affiliated colleges and universities collect their denominational materials exhaustively. Many use the Library of Congress Classification Scheme (LCC). The challenge is that these exhaustive collections must fit in a classification scheme based on a general collection that does not typically hold much on this topic. LCC uses BX6151-6155 for Seventh-day Adventists. Following the LCC notation without modification or expansion results in the proliferation of decimals, impeding both library users and staff. When a number of institutions share this same need, finding a standard notation they all can use is a mutual benefit. This paper reports on the development of a modification and expansion to LCC to address this need for libraries with exhaustive collections of Seventh-day Adventist books. This scheme follows a different method than the other denominational collections that have published an expanded or modified LCC to meet their purposes. The method has proven functional and collaborative efforts have made the scheme a success for libraries using it. This method may be of use to other small and highly specialized denominational collections in the LCC class BX.
Seeing the Salzburgers in their Books
Authors: Reeves Timothy Scott
Published: October 2018

The “Salzburger Collection” that once belonged to the group of pietist Lutherans who emigrated from Salzburg, Austria to Ebenezer, Georgia in 1734 and is now preserved at the Crumley Archives in Columbia, SC, contains 160 books printed 1615-1824. After a brief history and record of provenance of the collection, this essay focuses on books that demonstrate the connection to the pietist center of Halle (Germany) and devotion to the pietist forerunner Johann Arndt, as well as a prayer book believed to contain the “London Liturgy” passed on to the emigrant community by the Lutheran chaplain of their English patron, King George II. The collection was evaluated in light of reports and letters from earliest members of the community and their supporters as well as inscriptions and other unique identifiers, giving preferences to those volumes in the collection most closely tied to earliest members of the community. In so doing, it becomes clear that while sweeping assumption about a community based upon the presence of a book in such a collection are ill-advised, when proper attention is given to matters of provenance, the contents of a library do reflect the values of a community.
A Gentle Introduction to Topic Modeling Using Python
Authors: Saxton Micah D.
Published: October 2018

Topic modeling is a data mining method which can be used to understand and categorize large corpora of data; as such, it is a tool which theological librarians can use in their professional workflows and scholarly practices. In this article I provide a gentle introduction to topic modeling for those who have no prior knowledge of the topic. I begin with a conceptual overview of topic modeling which does not rely on the complicated mathematics behind the process. Then, I illustrate topic modeling by providing a narrative of building a topic model using the entirety Theological Librarianship as my example corpus. This narrative ends with an analysis of the success of the model and suggestions for improvement. Finally, I recommend a few resources for those who would like to pursue topic modeling further.

The result is that by following these steps will produce the model BLI which is valid, effective, and practical.
Transformative Research Space Through Epistemic Indeterminacy of Mandala
Authors: Gautam Suresh
Published: October 2018

The paper aims to explore how local epistemologies are emerged from the indeterminacy of the position and momentum of the researcher. Using the symbol of Mandala, I depict such indeterminacy during the research process, which eventually fosters transformative research space. I researched on urban youth of Kathmandu and their everyday life during 2012-2016. During the research, I was engaged with some youth in Kathmandu for understanding their ways of being and living over there. Despite being guided by particular epistemologies, I sought some local epistemologies from the narratives of my participants, which not only guided my research process but also demonstrated indefinite nature of reality. It helped me to understand the everyday life of urban youth in Kathmandu. In so doing, here, I reflect the research process which interacts with other epistemic indeterminacy around Mandala. Mandala in the Eastern (Hindu and Buddhist) tradition is known as a representation of a complex web of human life and activities, which portrays the mesocosm of everyday life of urban youth as integral part of time and space.

The paper ‘Performance Analysis of Microcontroller based Electronic Load Controller’ is an approach for design, fabrication and performance analysis of microcontroller based ELC for 300 Watt Pico hydro controller. Electronic Load Controller (ELC) is an approach for regulating total power in the system with Pico-hydro power plant. The paper presents a unique method to maintain the system performance by regulating the generated power. The system voltage and current is measured by microcontroller to calculate the consumer power. Based upon the consumer power the dump power is varied accordingly. The performance analysis of ELC unit was done with power source from Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) grid line as well as with separately excited induction generator under various loading conditions. The different resistive, capacitive and inductive loads were taken into consideration and the performance of the system based on voltage, current and power profiles were obtained.Kathmandu University Journal of Science, Engineering and TechnologyVol. 13, No. 1, 2017, 20-35
