Indonesia menjadi negara ke-5 dengan jumlah populasi LGBT terbanyak di dunia yaitu 3% dari 250 juta penduduk Indonesia, atau 3 orang dari 100 orang yang berkumpul di suatu tempat. Perilaku LGBT mempunyai dampak negatif diantaranya rusaknya saraf otak, melemahkan akal, menghilangkan semangat kerja dan bisa terjangkit penyakit AIDS yang belum ditemukan obatnya.  Ajaran Islam melarang tegas perilaku menyimpang ini karena tidak sesuai dengan fitrah manusia. Ironisnya, kaum LGBT enggan menyadari bahwa perilaku tersebut adalah menyimpang, tetapi justru marak mempromosikan identitas dirinya di media sosial. Bahkan mengadakan perekrutan keanggotaan di media sosial dengan remaja sebagai targetnya. Oleh karena itu psikoedukasi seks mengenai LGBT dilakukan kepada siswa SMA Muhammadiyah 1 Pekanbaru dengan tujuan  agar menambah pengetahuan siswa tentang LGBT dan mampu melindungan diri serta orang lain di sekitarnya dari pengaruh LGBT. Kegiatan ini dilaksanakan dengan metode ceramah dan tanya jawab. Evaluasi dilakukan di akhir kegiatan untuk melihat pemahaman siswa selama proses kegiatan. Berdasarkan hasil evaluasi  kegiatan,  secara  umum  berhasil  dengan  baik  dan  memuaskan  peserta.  Peserta  berharap  di lain kesempatan dapat mengupas lebih mendalam setiap perilaku dari Lesbian, Gay, Biseksual dan Transgender secara terpisah.

The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) attempts to address the possibility of the presence of technological civilizations beyond the Earth. Benefiting from high sensitivity, large sky coverage, and an innovative feed cabin for China’s Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST), we performed SETI’s first observations with FAST’s newly commissioned 19 beam receiver; we report preliminary results in this paper. Using the data stream produced by the SERENDIP VI real-time multibeam SETI spectrometer installed at FAST, as well as its off-line data processing pipelines, we identify and remove four kinds of radio frequency interference (RFI): zone, broadband, multibeam, and drifting, utilizing the Nebula SETI software pipeline combined with machine-learning algorithms. After RFI mitigation, the Nebula pipeline identifies and ranks interesting narrowband candidate ET signals, scoring candidates by the number of times candidate signals have been seen at roughly the same sky position and same frequency, signal strength, proximity to a nearby star or object of interest, along with several other scoring criteria. We show four example candidate groups that demonstrate this RFI mitigation and candidate selection. This preliminary testing on FAST data helps to validate our SETI instrumentation techniques as well as our data processing pipeline.

We present multiband photometry covering ∼5° × 5° across ω Cen collected with the Dark Energy Camera on the 4 m Blanco telescope, combined with Hubble Space Telescope and Wide Field Imager data for the central regions. The unprecedented photometric accuracy and field coverage allows us to confirm the different spatial distribution of blue and red main-sequence stars, and of red giant branch (RGB) stars with different metallicities. The ratio of the number of blue to red main-sequence stars shows that the blue main-sequence stellar subpopulation has a more extended spatial distribution compared to the red main-sequence one, with the frequency of blue main-sequence stars increasing at a distance of ∼20′ from ω Cen’s center. Similarly, the more metal-rich RGB stars show a more extended spatial distribution compared to the more metal-poor ones in the outskirts of the cluster. Moreover, the centers of the distributions of metal-rich and metal-poor RGB stars are shifted in different directions with respect to the geometrical center of ω Cen. We constructed stellar density profiles for the blue and red main-sequence stars; they show that the blue main-sequence stellar subpopulation has a more extended spatial distribution compared to the red main-sequence one in the outskirts of ω Cen, confirming the results based on the number ratio. We also computed the ellipticity profile of ω Cen, which has a maximum value of 0.16 at a distance of ∼8′ from the center, and a minimum of 0.05 at ∼30′; the average ellipticity is ∼0.10. The circumstantial evidence presented in this work suggests a merging scenario for the formation of the peculiar stellar system ω Cen.
Architecture of Three-planet Systems Predicted from the Observed Protoplanetary Disk of HL Tau

Published: March 2020

A number of protoplanetary disks (PPDs) observed with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array potentially provide direct examples of initial conditions for planetary systems. In particular, the HL Tau disk has been intensively studied, and its rings/gaps are conventionally interpreted to be a result of unseen massive planets embedded in the gaps. Based on this interpretation, we carried out N-body simulations to investigate the orbital evolution of planets within the PPD and after disk dispersal. Before disk dispersal, our N-body simulations include both migration and mass growth of the planet coupled with the evolution of the disk. By varying the disk parameters, we produce a variety of widely separated planetary systems consisting of three super-Jupiters at the end of disk dispersal. We found that the outer planet is more massive than the inner one, and the migration of the innermost planet is inefficient due to the accretion of outer planet(s). We also showed how the final configuration and the final planetary mass depend on disk parameters. The migration is found to be convergent, and no planet pair has a period ratio less than 2. After disk dispersal, we switch to purely gravitational N-body simulations and integrate the orbits up to 10 Gyr. Most simulated systems remain stable for at least 10 Gyr. We discuss the implications of our result in terms of the observed widely separated planetary systems HR 8799 and PDS 70.

Published: March 2020

O projeto e planejamento de recursos hídricos, necessita de informações que permitam a avaliação do comportamento hidrológico da bacia. Para isso é útil quantificar todas as suas características morfométricas, considerando a estreita relação entre o relevo e a resposta hídrica das bacias. Dados hidrológicos são menos disponíveis do que dados topográficos e sendo assim, a partir da topografia pode-se estimar indiretamente os valores hidrológicos em locais nos quais faltem este tipo de dados. Comumente, para se iniciar uma análise hidrológica ou ambiental, preliminarmente procede-se a delimitação da bacia hidrográfica, que por volta de três décadas atrás, estas atividades eram executadas manualmente. Com o advento dos softwares SIG e da representação digital do relevo por meio de técnicas de sensoriamento remoto, tornou-se possível automatizar esta tarefa. A partir disso, buscou-se com este trabalho elaborar uma aplicação WEB, utilizando a linguagem computacional R, para delimitação e caracterização morfométrica de bacias hidrográficas, utilizando Modelos Digitais de Elevação (MDE) globais, de forma automática e que permita fornecer rapidamente os parâmetros morfométricos, proporcionando ao usuário concluir também pelo modelo que mais se adeque a sua necessidade.

In the past, doctors and specialists were not connected to patients through telemedicine for providing virtual health and medicine. In rural areas, where experts in medical fields were not able to reach or be present at, telemedicine proved a great benefit. As the years passed, the explosive use of the internet brought profound changes to telemedicine practices. The escalation of smart devices with the capability of delivering high quality video and audio raised the possibilities of delivering remote healthcare. Telehealth care helps patients at home or at assisted living facilities as a revolutionary alternative to personal visits for both basic as well as expert care. Applying deep data analytics to telemedicine will create new horizons in telehealth by analyzing large data sets of patients using live video streaming to predict the health challenges of patients.

Lung cancer is one of the major reasons for the death if it is not diagnosed in the early stages of cancer. It is the one among the most dreadful disease which affects in the lungs function. It can be identified only after the disease spread into the deeper parts of the lungs and then only it will make a life threading problem. Lung cancer prognosis which was done based on the various parameters such as age, sex, condition of smoking, duration of smoking and count of smoking per day. The proceedings were done using the algorithm for the time to first cigarette after awakening which is represented as TTFC. The expert doctor says that the back-propagation network is a great deal in the recognition of the lung cancer without any involvement by them. This research is based on the classification of lung cancer and its stages using the establishment of the BPN and predicts the recurrence. Similarly, with this BPN, an algorithm that is inspired from its habitat known as ant lion optimization algorithm is also used in the optimization of weights and parameters of the BPN. The use of the ALO algorithm provides an improved convergence mechanism by improving the proposed technique's accuracy. The use of this proposed method with the BPN optimizes the network and the ALO optimizer provides an accurate prediction of the lung cancer by the earlier stage and even predicts the changes for reoccurrence after diagnosis. The prognosis analysis was made by the various comparative study between the characteristic features of HIV and the unaffected person using the algorithm such as the Wilcoxon rank-sum test. This algorithm will continuously classify the viral load and CD4 count which is based on factors such as age, sex, and smoking activities. It will be useful for early diagnosis and future prediction. Lung cancer rates can be analyzed based on the incident rates of affected and unaffected persons to HIV infections.

Published: March 2020

This chapter aims to shed light on university teachers' adoption and use of information communication technologies (ICT) at a university in its awareness/exploration stage of blended learning adoption. The goal was to identify how teachers' attitudes to innovation adoption influences the adoption of ICT for teaching/learning. An online survey showed substantial differences between first adopters and followers regarding the perceived importance of factors affecting ICT adoption (“financial support/stipend” and “the availability of online training for teachers”), and perceived usefulness of learning management system activities (quizzes, discussion boards, and assignments). Identifying first adopters and followers can assist universities in the awareness/exploration stage in recognizing the ways in which first adopters differ from followers and consequently help both groups to facilitate a strategic and optimal ICT adoption and implementation of blended learning.

Published: March 2020

The following chapter is a comparative study of signals obtained using Electromyogram sensors and Ionic Polymer Metal Composite (IPMC) sensors. This chapter studies in detail the behavior of the electromechanical sensor, i.e., IPMC as an EMG sensor. The former being an electromechanical sensor picks up the electrochemical gradient due to flow of ions through the axon ends released within the muscle which ultimately causes the muscle contraction, and also detects the mechanical tension created because of muscle contraction. EMG sensors are an electrical sensor that is able to detect voltage changes due to electrochemical changes under our skin due to voluntary muscle movements. During the relaxed phase, both the sensors stay stagnant at different reference voltage levels, and shows variation in voltages only during the instants of contraction. The characteristic obtained by plotting the experimental readings are compared in the chapter.

Authors: Deyasi Arpan , Debnath Pampa
Published: March 2020

This chapter shows the measurement procedure of junction depth using SIMS method with detailed experimental procedure, and the result is verified by theoretical computation. SIMS profile is analytically characterized by Pearson's distribution function, and all the results together established the fact that the device can be utilized for operating as a diode in RF range; where ion dose is considered as a variable parameter with ion energy. Implanted impurity distribution profile is obtained as a function of depletion width from which junction depth can be evaluated. Straggle parameters and projected range profile near the ion energy range is computed for which depth is evaluated, and skewness & kurtosis are estimated to get a theoretical knowledge of all the moments assuming the Pearson IV distribution. Results suggest that distribution of atoms may be considered as Gaussian in nature.

Also, the EC, since 2001, pronounced itself the need for a voluntary integration of social, economic, and environmental concerns in business strategies. The objective of this chapter is to achieve a confluence of ideas that link the initiative of an entrepreneur with the need to carry out a socially responsible strategy today in business. A bibliometric study was undertaken by means of a structured and systematized search of the Web of Science, Scopus, Elsevier, and Google Scholar during the 2005-2017 period, limiting the search to articles published in journals. Fifty-two works were located, which were published in 35 journals. The study has identified a set of entrepreneurship initiatives partially connected with social responsibility, which allows us to qualify him as a “socially responsible entrepreneur.”

Tourism is an industry, very focused on economic growth, with significant negative environmental and social impacts. Consequently, the tourism industry faces major challenges related to sustainability. Sustainable innovation is a tool that contributes not only to increased business competitiveness but can also play an important role in mitigating the negative impacts that such growth can generate. Recognizing the opportunity that this innovation can have in the tourism industry, this chapter analyzes the state of the art and systematizes the knowledge and evolution of the academic debate about this relationship between sustainable innovation and tourism from 1992 to 2018. This chapter indicates that sustainable tourism is focused on seven major areas of research and predominantly analyzed through quantitative methods. It is still an embryonic topic with scarce research done in several areas, such as the monitoring of its impacts, the effects felt by the communities of tourist destinations, and the impacts that sustainable innovation may have on other tourism subsectors.
Women Entrepreneurship and Sustainable Rural Development in India
Authors: Das Badal Chandra , Jana Sebak Kumar
Published: March 2020

Rural development implies both the economic betterment of the people living in rural areas as well as bringing out holistic development. Accordingly, government has made paradigm shift from individual-centric rural development support to creation of gainful self-employment as well as wage employment among rural masses. Entrepreneurship, in this direction, has become an important consideration. Economic growth of a region largely depends on the involvement of poor and marginal sections into the process of entrepreneurship development. Globally, a large number of unemployed youth and women are becoming self-employed through entrepreneurship and creating employment opportunities for others. Researchers have worked on women's empowerment, economic development, and their role on micro-credit movement. The work on role of women in sustainable development is very limited. This chapter has tried to analyse issues related to women entrepreneurships in light of sustainable rural development in India to meet the research gap in the current context of Indian rural economy.

The interests focus on the tools, used in the case of evaluating the sustainability in the mobility structures. In the present is sustainable development regular part of planning in every scale. According to growing development and innovations, it was necessary to ensure a sustainable framework of progress or traffic performance. Sustainable development goals were founded as a reaction to limited natural sources and also as a response to the human impact on nature. Evolution of those goals started with the environmental base and then had also been added social and economic aspects. A study wants to find sophisticated tools for the evaluation of sustainable development in urban structures. As was located, in Europe exist methods for assessment of sustainability (EIA, SEA, LCA, EF, ER, GP, CBA, CEA, MCDA, EA, SIA, SEIA, etc.). Although even their large amount, they are mostly based on just one section of SD. Other tools which are used, are methods for evaluation sustainability (BREEAM, CASBEE-UD, GBI, LEED, IGBC, SB tool, DGNB, etc.), where are also included other sections (environmental, economic, social). Assessment tools were described and preliminary compared in the context of the factors’ coverage.
Natural Radioactivity of Bricks in Historical Buildings in Slovakia

Published: March 2020

The occurrence of radionuclides in the raw materials from which the building materials are made is a potential radiation risk in buildings constructed from these materials. In this study, four historical buildings were investigated regarding the natural radioactivity of the used bricks. The gamma radiation was evaluated using the measured mass activities of the most important radionuclides and expressed by the gamma indexes (Iγ) and dose rates. The results proved that the activity concentrations of 232Th and 40K radioisotopes in bricks are higher than worldwide values. Even though Iγ do not exceed the recommended value (Iγ ˂ 1), the absorbed dose rate for the structures in indoor air was calculated in the range 115.94-161.44 nGy/h which is twice the global average for this parameter.

Published: March 2020

This paper reviews local and bio-sourced materials for construction through their thermomechanical characteristics, but with an emphasis on their thermal conductivity that allows us to assess the thermal performance (insulation) of these materials. Then, we discuss the energy problems in Mauritania, while highlighting the local and bio-sourced materials existing in this country. These materials could be an alternative to solve these energy problems. Finally, we focus on the thermal performance of Typha Australis, a plant that grows abundantly in fresh water mainly in Senegal and Mauritania, which would have good advantages over the thermal performance of the building.

Published: March 2020

Modified charcoal was prepared from the oxidation of charcoal using the HNO3/H3PO4-NaNO2 system in a range of temperatures from 30 to 50 °C for 24 to 72 hours of reaction time. The reaction was the oxidation by cleavage of a double bond and converting it into a carboxyl group (-COOH) or carbonyl group (-C=O). The results showed that the carboxyl content of the modified charcoal (MC) increased with an increase in reaction time and temperature. The condition at 50°C for 60 hours yielded the MC with a carboxyl content of 1.81 mmol/g. Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FT-IR) revealed that MC had a new adsorption peak at 1712 cm-1. The oxygen content of modified charcoal also increased, suggesting the formation of carboxyl or carbonyl groups in the products after the oxidation. Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images demonstrated an increase in porosity of the MC. The maximum capacity of ammonia adsorption of MC was 6.14 mg/g.

Published: March 2020

The synthesis and characterization of porous ZnO films using a two stage process by thermal oxidation using a bilayer precursor film (ZnO/Zn) consisting of a Zn film covered with a ZnO nanofilm formed on quartz substrates is reported. The Zn films of 50 nm were grown by DC sputtering method at 300K. In the first stage bilayer precursor films (BPF) of ZnO/Zn were produced by growing a ZnO nanofilm on Zn films by thermal oxidation at 350 °C by 30 min in N2 atmosphere containing 5 ppm of O2, and in the second stage the BPFs were oxidized at 800 °C for one hour either in dry N2, dry or wet air with 42% of humidity. The produced porous ZnO films were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and UV-Vis spectroscopy measurements. The results revealed the role of the oxygen content and the relevance of the humidity content in the processing atmosphere. When the BPF was oxidized in N2 with low oxygen content nanoporous ZnO films of wurtzite phase with its c-axis perpendicular to the plane of the substrate were produced. When rich oxygen content oxidation atmospheres were used, either in dry or wet air, nanoporous ZnO films with three main crystallite orientations (100), (002) and (101), were produced. The optical transmittance characteristics at the band edge region were strongly influenced by the humidity content but induce the formation of reproducible nanoporous ZnO films with sizes of ≈ 10 nm.
