Authors: Ulfiana Desyta , Sari Undayani Cita
Published: October 2020

Fenomena degradasi lingkungan menyebabkan meningkatnya frekuensi banjir di beberapa wilayah, salah satunya adalah kawasan pesisir pantai Kota Semarang. Kecamatan Genuk, Kecamatan Tugu, Kecamatan Semarang Utara, dan Kecamatan Semarang Barat merupakan empat wilayah yang berbatasan langsung dengan Laut Jawa. Kondisi topografi dan karakteristik wilayah empat kecamatan tersebut menyebabkan empat kecamatan tersebut rawan mengalami bencana banjir. Untuk mengatasi fenomena tersebut perlu adanya penyesuaian perencanaan pembangunan berkelanjutan. Agar perencanaan tersebut efektif maka diperlukan analisa untuk menentukan faktor utama penyebab permasalahan banjir di wilayah tersebut. Oleh karena itu, dalam penelitian ini dilakukan analisa tingkat risiko banjir menggunakan metode AHP TOPSIS untuk menentukan faktor utama penyebab banjir di masing-masing kecamatan. Kriteria yang digunakan dalam analisa terdiri dari curah hujan, tata guna lahan, kemiringan lahan, dan ketinggian. Berdasarkan hasil analisa, didapatkan bahwa Kecamatan Semarang Utara dan Semarang Barat memiliki tingkat risiko paling tinggi terhadap bencana banjir. Faktor dominan penyebab tingginya risiko banjir di dua kecamatan tersebut dibanding dua kecamatan lainnya adalah curah hujan. Sedangkan faktor utama penyebab banjir di kawasan pesisir pantai Kota Semarang adalah ketinggian

A Novel Equation for Quality in Education?
Authors: Chamas Mohamad , Polonik Irina
Published: October 2020

Nowadays educational organizations are facing an increasing dependence of university budgets on the financial market and the application of new financial instruments so that the financial department has become the most powerful, especially in the university. Following Ginsberg [1] and Engelen et al [2],  we can speak of a trend toward a kind of financialization of the university Universities have been increasingly concerned to demonstrate their contribution to the economic performance of their local and national economies. Worldwide, a big part of educational organizations is doing a major effort by examining students' services and creating student-friendly approaches that far exceed customer service. This trend is nominated ‘the art of capturing audiences and entertaining them' following Arum and Roksa [3]. In this study, the authors aim to find out if factors related to industrialization and innovation can influence the quality of educational organizations, and if yes what is the equation that links all these factors. A questionnaire was administered to students, teachers, and guardians. Responses were analyzed using the linear regression model. Based on the statistical analysis, the authors create an innovative scientific equation that links all the significant factors that could affect the quality of educational services. This equation could be used by educational organizations to assess their quality level.

Authors: MUCHERU ELIZABETH WACHU , MURENGA HADIJA , Mwangi Samson Wokabi
Published: October 2020

This study sought to investigate factors that affected integration between resettled persons and the host community in Rongai Location, Nakuru County, Kenya. The study employed purposive and stratified random sampling in selecting the sample size of 196 respondents. The study was guided by the Acculturation model which explains the conditions that need to be embraced by the host and resettled persons for effective community integration and participation in socio-economic livelihoods. The study employed a Survey Design and data was collected through interview schedules. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics. According to the study, resource sharing, community trust, utilization of collective action, and dispute resolution mechanisms were all cited as important factors that could affect integration between the Host and the Resettled Persons. The study found that minimal resource sharing, low community trust, low utilization of collective action and adoption of divisive dispute resolution mechanisms all pointed to low integration between Resettled Persons and Host community. The study recommends for involvement of the hosting communities in decision making concerning resettlement and resource allocation for Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in the resettlement process.  The study also recommends the application of legal framework in resettlement and reintegration. This includes using the guidelines provided for in the Kenya’s National Policy on the Prevention of Internal Displacement, Protection and Assistance to Internally Displaced Persons of August 2011 and The UN Guiding Principles on Reintegration (UGPR).
Features of impact between Eastern and Western Literature
Authors: Mohd. Shamsuddin Salahuddin , Ahmad Siti Sara bint Hj.
Published: October 2020

No doubt that modern Arab literature has been influenced by Western literature more than it was influenced by ancient Arabic literature, whether by the missionaries, occupiers, merchants, and investors who arrived at Arab countries or by the scientific missions sent by Arab countries to European capitals or by Arab immigrants to the West. This influence was either through the translation, or through reading in the original languages ​​of Western literature, and this second method was more influential in modern Arabic literature, because translation loses many of the characteristics of artistic literatures that have a close connection with the language.. We mentioned in this research the link between East and West, and between Arab literature and European literature, and the features of impact between them through the process of transferring the literary heritage from East to West through several crossings, and its study to extract the literary and cultural treasures through the efforts of missionaries from Orientalists that were the first nucleus of modern Western civilization. We also dealt with the features of renewal in Arabic literature, Arabic poetry and its schools in the modern era. We focused on the Divan school, the Apollo school and Diaspora School, especially the nature of poetry and truth of free modern realist poetry. We also mentioned the high demand for translated eastern literature in European countries, and its inclusion by the writers, poets and writers in their literary writings. We used the descriptive approach that is always suitable for such literary and critical topics.

Problems of Communicating Through the English Language in Tanzanian Universities
Authors: Shumbusho George N.
Published: October 2020

The paper begins with a brief overview of authors who have researched the problems caused by the English language when used as the Medium of Teaching and Learning in a context where it is not spoken as the first language. The paper agrees with authors’ findings and conclusions that indeed the English problems as the Medium of Teaching and Learning in Tanzania tertiary institutions and universities have increasingly become glaring and insurmountable under the prevailing curriculum of these institutions whereby grammar is not infused in English for Academic Purposes (EAP) syllabi of these institutions or universities. To testify the preceding allegation, the paper presents ample examples of bad English from various students’ writing from three universities in Tanzania. Three recommendations to alleviate the problem have been suggested. First, the infusion of grammar aspect into EAP syllabi; second, universities to have an adequate number of EAP lectures to cater for the needs of all students; third,  students be encourage to read various books and academic journals to enable them to acquire a variety of genres and academic registers. On switching the Medium of Teaching and Learning from English to Kiswahili, the Tanzanian government should take a bold decision to switch now, otherwise it will never happen.
Verification of a classification prediction method for the development of musical expression in early childhood using a machine learning method based on 3D motion capture data
Authors: Sano Mina
Published: October 2020

It is widely acknowledged that children take developmental steps in performing musical expression through body movement dynamics. The author presents an approach to verify the method of classification prediction by machine learning using multiple classifiers to evaluate and classify the developmental degree of musical expressions in early childhood. The author addresses this potential solution by showing statistical analysis of full-body 3D motion captured data using such statistical analysis, and applies machine learning measures to predict developmental degrees of musical expression.

In 2016, the author extracted the feature quantities of movement based on the results of the movement analysis of the musical expressions in the MEB program regarding 3-year-old, 4-year-old, and 5-year-old children (n=76). The developmental degree of musical expression was classified into three stages based on video analysis of the musical expression of each child. The 2016 training data as the feature quantity of movement (factors) and the three-stage evaluation (categorical dependent variables) were used as the model training for machine learning. Based on the results in 2017 with 2018, the classification model training results were applied to the acquired data (n=87) in 2019.

The result of sensitivity analysis showed that the moving average acceleration of pelvis, the moving distance of right foot and the moving distance of right hand had a strong influence on the development of musical expression in early childhood. From those analysis results, the appropriateness of the machine learning method using decision trees for classifying the developmental degree of musical expression in early childhood was verified.
Exploration Of Staff Incentives And Strategy Implementation In Commercial Banks In Kenya
Authors: Mkandawire Nathan Chizotera , Senaji Thomas Anyanje , Kirimi Eunice Karegi
Published: October 2020

Though elegant strategies are formulated by organisations, their successful implementation continues to be elusive. Empirical literature suggests that failure of strategy at implementation state is due to factors such as management competence, leadership and resources. However, little attention has been directed to the relationship between incentives, specifically staff incentives such as pay, oversight, meaningfulness of work, employee growth as well as job security and strategy implementation. In this this exploratory study, we examined the perception of staff incentives and their relationship with implementation of financial inclusion strategy in commercial banks in Kenya using a quantitative survey of 42 respondents drawn from commercial banks in Kenya. Financial inclusion strategies are defined as roadmaps of agreed actions at the national or regional level, which stakeholders chart and pursue to accomplish financial inclusion objectives. The study’s target population was operational managers selected from each bank randomly. We found that staff incentives provided to bank employees ranged from being unsatisfactory to moderately satisfactory and that financial inclusion strategy implementation was also moderately successful in the banks. It was also found that oversight and job security had a linear relationship with financial inclusion strategy implementation (oversight: r = 0.336, p = 0.029; job security: r = 0.685, p < 0.001). Further, the pay negatively affected the probability for successful implementation of financial inclusion strategy – it reduces the likelihood by 50% (exp (B) = 0.53) while job security increased the chances for successful implementation of financial inclusion strategy by a factor of 2 (exp (B) =1.883). In conclusion, based on these preliminary findings banks should consider and improve their pay because it was found to negatively affect the likelihood of successful implementation of financial inclusion strategy. Secondly, since job security was found to increase the probability of successful implementation of financial inclusion strategy management of banks should strive to ensure job security to enable them implement the financial inclusion strategy hence improve the financial performance of the banks. Consequently, the managers should improve on the incentives that were rated as unsatisfactory or low by the employees

Mitigating Disruption in Production Networks through Dynamic Scheduling Enabled by Integrated Enterprise Data
Authors: Sprock Timothy , Brundage Michael P. , Bernstein William Z. , Sexton Thurston , Sharp Michael
Published: October 2020

The coronavirus disease pandemic has caused unprecedented disruptions for manufacturers and supply chains. To respond to these disruptions and potential future disturbances, manufacturers need to be resilient and adapt their production systems to fluctuating production demands. Sudden and large-scale changes in production needs may be best addressed quickly by leveraging multiple smaller existing work units with diverse capabilities and capacities. These facilities frequently produce enormous amounts of data of varying types from various sources and software systems. Manufacturers can more effectively respond to disruptions by deploying dynamic decision-making tools, such as scheduling, that leverage this heterogeneous data. There are many outstanding challenges to quickly and correctly integrating and curating heterogeneous data sources and extracting knowledge from the resulting data sets. This note lays out the challenge, identifies common use cases that can serve as test cases, and describes qualities of good solutions to this problem.

Social networks have generated a series of changes within social dynamics,the construction of identities, and with it, the ways that we represent ourselvesas persons. The level of change has been so high that we have lostboundaries between how we relate to other people, and the limits of whatcan be considered as private and public, even reaching levels of "spectacularization".In this way, we have fallen into the obsession of recognition andthe opening of our privacy, and, therefore, we only want to show ourselvesas perfect people in all areas, that is, an open window to sell me as a perfectperson. This paper explores this dynamic from the timely description of profilesof several people, in order to highlight the new ways of generating the"first impression".

Wood fibers were prepared as core materials for a vacuum insulation panel (VIP) via a dry molding process. The morphology of the wood fibers and the microstructure, pore structure, transmittance, and thermal conductivity of the wood fiber VIP were tested. The results showed that the wood fibers had excellent thermal insulation properties and formed a porous structure by interweaving with one another. The optimum bulk density that led to a low-cost and highly thermally efficient wood fiber VIP was 180 kg/m3 to 200 kg/m3. The bulk density of the wood fiber VIP was 200 kg/m3, with a high porosity of 78%, a fine pore size of 112.8 μm, and a total pore volume of 7.0 cm3·g-1. The initial total thermal conductivity of the wood fiber VIP was 9.4 mW/(m·K) at 25 °C. The thermal conductivity of the VIP increased with increasing ambient temperature. These results were relatively good compared to the thermal insulation performance of current biomass VIPs, so the use of wood fiber as a VIP core material has broad application prospects.

Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is characterized by a monophasic, ascending, and symmetrical paralysis with areflexia that progresses over days to weeks. It is typically a postinfectious autoimmune process that leads to destruction of myelin. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), originated in Wuhan, China, in late 2019 and rapidly spread around the world, causing a pandemic of novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). There have been scattered reports of adults with possible GBS and concurrent evidence of COVID-19, but no previous reports in children. The patient is an 8-year-old boy who presented to the emergency department with progressive, ascending weakness with areflexia. He was intubated for airway protection because of poor secretion control. MRI of the spine revealed abnormal enhancement of posterior nerve roots. A lumbar puncture revealed albuminocytologic dissociation with 1 nucleated cell per mm3 and a protein level of 620 mg/dL. Electrodiagnostic findings were compatible with sensorimotor demyelinating polyneuropathy. The lumbar puncture, MRI, and electrodiagnostics were all consistent with GBS. Results of SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid amplification and SARS-CoV-2 immunoglobulin G antibody tests were positive. Treatment was initiated with intravenous immunoglobulin; he received a total of 2 g/kg. His neurologic examination revealed improvement in the subsequent days. He was extubated after 4 days of intubation. This case is the first reported case of a child with GBS in the setting of an acute COVID-19 infection. This case reveals the wide scope of presentations of COVID-19 and postinfectious processes. Clinicians should constantly have a high level of suspicion for COVID-19.

BACKGROUND:

Bronchiolitis is often described to follow an expected clinical trajectory, with a peak in severity between days 3 and 5. This predicted trajectory may influence anticipatory guidance and clinical decision-making. We aimed to determine the association between day of illness at admission and outcomes, including hospital length of stay, receipt of positive-pressure ventilation, and total cough duration.

METHODS:

We compiled data from 2 multicenter prospective studies involving bronchiolitis hospitalizations in patients <2 years. Patients were excluded for complex conditions. We assessed total cough duration via weekly postdischarge phone calls. We used mixed-effects multivariable regression models to test associations between day of illness and outcomes, with adjustment for age, sex, insurance (government versus nongovernment), race, and ethnicity.

RESULTS:

The median (interquartile range) day of illness at admission for 746 patients was 4 (2–5) days. Day of illness at admission was not associated with length of stay (coefficient 0.01 days, 95% confidence interval [CI]: −0.05 to 0.08 days), positive-pressure ventilation (adjusted odds ratio: 1.0, 95% CI: 0.9 to 1.1), or total cough duration (coefficient 0.33 days, 95% CI: −0.01 to 0.67 days). Additionally, there was no significant difference in day of illness at discharge in readmitted versus nonreadmitted patients (5.9 vs 6.4 days, P = .54). The median cough duration postdischarge was 6 days, with 65 (14.3%) patients experiencing cough for 14+ days.

CONCLUSIONS:

We found no associations between day of illness at admission and outcomes in bronchiolitis hospitalizations. Practitioners should exercise caution when making clinical decisions or providing anticipatory guidance based on symptom duration.
