Study Design: Cross-sectional, questionnairebasedsurvey. Setting: Peoples University of Medical & Health Sciences for Women (PUMHSW),Nawabshah. Methods: This is the only medical university for female students located in theinterior of Sindh. The students belong to various rural districts of the Sindh Province. Aftertaking verbal consent the questionnaire of the Aga Khan University Anxiety & Depression Scale(AKUADS) Urdu version was administered to the students from first year to the final year. A scoreof ≥20 on AKUADS was used as a cut-off for the presence of anxiety and depressive symptoms.The data collected was tabulated and analyzed using SPSS 19. Results: Out of a total of 1035students in a five year MBBS program at PUMHSW, 851 students responded &agreed toparticipate. The response rate was 82.2%. According to the AKUADS 66.7% of female studentswere found to have anxiety and depression. Majority of the students were originally from variousrural districts of Sindh. The Prevalence of anxiety and depression among students of 1st year,2nd year, 3rd year, 4th year and 5th year was 71.1%, 76.9%, 53.7%, 70.7% and 63.6% respectively.It was significantly higher in 1st year and 2nd year as compared to 3rd, 4th and 5thyear (p<0. 05)students. Those aged <21 years were most vulnerable (p<0.025).Marital status and eitherliving at home or in hostel was statistically not significant (p<0.922 and p<0.596 respectively).None of the students were using antidepressants nor they ever visited a psychiatrist before.All students were attending lectures and hospital postings regularly. Conclusion: Our studyindicates that a high proportion of female medical students particularly those belonging tothe rural areas of Sindh suffer from anxiety and depression during the course of their medicaleducation. Female gender, younger age and the rural environment appears to have a profoundnegative impact. The overall prevailing situation warrants a proper psychiatric evaluation ofthese students so that remedial measures can be undertaken whenever necessary.

Published: September 2021

Due to the rapid growth of small and smart hand-held devices, mobile ad hoc networks (MANets) are becoming very common nowadays. MANets may consist of a number of small hand-held devices having limited resources in terms of memory, battery and processing power. In order to provide services to the users, these devices are capable of communicating with each other through some radio technology, such as WiFi, Bluetooth or Infrared. Since radio channels are inherently vulnerable to various security threats, it requires that devices in MANets must establish a secure association amongst themselves before exchanging any sensitive information or data. The process of establishing a secure channel between two devices is referred to as device pairing or device association. Device pairing do not rely on traditional mechanisms for security due to the impulsive and ad hoc interactions among the devices. Due to this, researchers have proposed many schemes/protocols to deal with this issue; however, the issue of group pairing (i.e. secure association of more than two devices) is less addressed issue in the literature yet. There could be many scenarios (such as confidential office meetings, paring of group of home appliances in smart-homes, etc) of MANets, where secure group communications is desired. Consequently, this research focuses on this issue and proposes a QR (quick response) code based scheme to establish a secure channel between a numbers of devices. The proposed system is implemented and tested on modern hand-held devices and a usability study of the implemented system is also carried out.
A Private Organization Utilizes the Best Value Approach on an Enterprise Resource Planning System
Authors: Rivera Alfredo
Published: September 2021

The Best Value Approach (BVA) is a new project delivery method that has been developed at Arizona State University. It has been documented to increase performance and value on projects by the identification and utilization of expertise instead of management, direction, and control (MDC). It utilizes performance information that is simple, observable, and countable. It allows the expert vendor to know what the client project requires, why they can achieve success and what they will do before they do it. The tracking of the project cost and time deviation requires an initial plan and method to track it. Preliminary results of the BVA have shown a 90% decrease in effort by client organizations, 98% customer satisfaction and has led to 1% vendor cost and time deviation rate. It applies to construction, services/IT projects, and any long-term service. In 2014, a large private organization having difficulty delivering information technology (IT) and construction/facility services identified the BVA as a potential solution. This paper will summarize a major IT Enterprise Resource Planning case study that the large private organization used the BVA on and identify the full results.
Wetting of Laser Textured Cu Surface by Ethylene Glycol and Sn

Published: September 2021

The effect of microcosmic morphologies of textured Cu surface by nanosecond laser on the inert wetting and reactive wetting, i.e., ethylene glycol/copper and tin/copper wetting systems, was studied by using modified sessile drop methods. To create different surface roughness, the microcosmic morphologies with different spacing of grooves were constructed by nanosecond laser. The results showed that the inert wetting (ethylene glycol/copper) was consistent with Wenzel model, while the reactive wetting results deviated from the model. In Sn/Cu reactive wetting system, the interfacial evolution in the early stage and the pinning of triple line by the precipitated h-Cu6Sn5 caused the rougher surface and the worse final wettability. When the scale of artificial roughness exceeded the roughness that was caused by interfacial reaction after reaching the quasi-equilibrium state at interface, the final wettability could be improved.

Suatu instansi tidak terlepas dari peranan sumber daya manusia (SDM) yang bekerja di dalamnya. Kualitas sumber daya manusia merupakan salah satu faktor untuk meningkatkan produktivitas kinerja suatu instansi. Oleh karena itu, suatu instansi perlu melakukan penilaian kinerja pegawai untuk mengetahui keberhasilan atau ketidakberhasilan dalam melaksanakan tugasnya. Permasalahan yang terjadi di RSUD Serang yaitu proses penilaian yang dilakukan masih menggunakan cara manual sehingga proses penilaian kinerja pegawai menjadi lambat dan tidak akurat. Dalam penilaian kinerja pegawai masih bersifat subjektif. Belum adanya program aplikasi dalam mendukung pengambilan keputusan dan pihak rumah sakit kesulitan dalam menentukan prestasi kinerja pegawai. Berdasarkan hal tersebut, penulis merancang sistem pendukung keputusan penilaian kinerja pegawai menggunakan Analitycal Hierarchy Process (AHP) di RSUD Serang. Metode Analitycal Hierarchy Process (AHP) adalah suatu model pengambilan keputusan yang komprehensif dan terstruktur. Sistem ini dibangun dengan bahasa pemrograman Visual Basic 6.0 dan SQLyog sebagai database. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sistem yang dibangun mampu memberikan hasil perhitungan secara otomatis sesuai dengan hasil perhitungan yang dilakukan secara manual. Diharapkan dengan sistem yang dirancang dapat membantu pengambil keputusan yang bersifat objektif dan pada proses penilaian kinerja pegawai yang lebih efisien.

Security Communities in Crisis: Crisis Constitution, Struggles and Temporality
Authors: Svendsen Øyvind
Published: September 2021

How do we approach a security community in crisis? This article theorises crisis dynamics in and on security communities. How do security communities evolve during crises, and how can we best approach such crises analytically? Responding to a lack of focus and knowledge of crisis dynamics in the literature on security communities, this article develops a methodological model to study security communities in crisis. I argue that the study of security communities in crisis could evolve around four analytical categories: processes of constituting crisis and power struggles and the temporal aspects of social action concerning situatedness and imaginaries. This move allows IR theory to rethink the dynamics of security communities in crisis beyond the endurance/decay binary and provide for more process-oriented and context-sensitive empirical work. By way of illustrating the empirical saliency of the article, I use examples from the Brexit process.
Assessing the impact of party identification in transnational election campaigns: Evidence from the 2019 European Parliament election
Authors: Waldvogel Thomas , Wagschal Uwe , Metz Thomas , Becker Bernd , Feiten Linus , Weishaupt Samuel
Published: September 2021

Since the introduction of “Spitzenkandidaten” for the presidency of the European Commission, elections to the European Parliament have been characterised by the dynamic between an increasingly transnational election campaign and a national electoral process. However, the implementation of a European election campaign focusing on transnational top candidates remains controversial because it is still unclear to what extent nationally formed political predispositions such as party identification can serve as heuristics for assessing a transnational election campaign. Though TV duels as miniature campaigns directly open up this antagonism, research at the European level remains limited. Drawing on data from a field study consisting of virtualised real-time-response measurement and survey data of 157 participants, we show that expressive party identification as a heuristic is considerably constrained in transnational debates’ reception, while being complemented by instrumental aspects such as candidate orientations and ideological attitudes.
The progressive gendering of the European Union’s economic governance architecture
Authors: Gomez Urquijo Laura
Published: September 2021

This study shows the correlation between the European integration process and the progress of gender equality objectives. In particular, it focuses on the effectiveness of economic governance tools to enhance coordination between national policies towards gender equality. The research question pertains to whether the new architecture of economic governance aims to consolidate the market model or correct gender imbalances. This aspect leads us to explore the diverse tools of national monitoring displayed in the recently reinforced governance, particularly the fiscal discipline policy as a conditioning framework, the European Semester as the current significant instrument for coordinating national policies, and the European Pillar of Social Rights (EPSR) and its Social Scoreboard annex. The analysis confirms that the potential of governance instruments to enhance gender equality is underused. Meanwhile, these tools set out a policy focused on consolidating the market model of competitiveness and fiscal discipline, rather than tackling gender inequalities
Islamic Economic Redefinition and its Methodology Among Contemporary Thinkers
Authors: Suar Abi , Meirison Meirson , Nazar Zerly
Published: September 2021

Abstract: The Islamic economic crisis from an epistemological perspective has been going on in recent years, based on many Islamic economic figures' writings. Monzer Kahf argues about Islamic economics's definition that there is no agreement among Muslim economists about the definition of Islamic economics, its scope, its relation to conventional economics, analytical methods and instruments, and even some of its basic assumptions. They view that the Islamic economy epistemologically still needs to be studied, while this Study, which has been going on for 40 years, seems to be running in place. In this Study, researchers used a library research method. This aims to reveal the redefinition of Islamic economics from contemporary economists, the methodological crisis that has hit Islamic economics, and the urgency of developing Islamic economics methodology among contemporary thinkers. The essence of the urgency of developing methodologies and approaches in Islamic economics is tawhid. The central or core concept that permeates all aspects of the epistemology of Islamic economics is tawhid. Tawhîd is the essence of Islam; tawhîd is considered the unity of knowledge and can be broken down into sources, methods and scientific knowledge. Knowledge comes from Allah's revelations to His Prophet, and reasoning, perception, and empiricism. Because of al-Attas, God's first type of knowledge is through direct revelation. The second is through the speculation of rational investigations based on his experience of the plausible and understandable.
Manguni and Christian Nationalism (in) Minahasa
Authors: Pinontoan Denni H.R.
Published: September 2021

This article describes the process and meaning of the reconstruction of Manguni, as the sacred bird in the old Minahasa religion which became a symbol of Gereja Masehi Injili in Minahasa (GMIM) in the context of colonialism. In particular, that thing to be discussed is the reconstruction of meaning, from Manguni as a mythological belief to Manguni as an ecclesiastical symbolic motive that carries a message of nationalism. Since the early of 20th century, the historical context and discourse of the Minahasa Christian intellectuals have been the subject of research to trace the development of Christian nationalism (in) Minahasa. In the context of GMIM, the interesting things are constituted as the dialogues and debates in colonial church forums, namely the Indische Kerk delivered by Christian leaders. This articles shows that, as a reaction to colonialism whic has changed many things predominantly in Christan Minahasa society, nationalism has grown and developed uniquely through discourse of community elites and church leaders. The expression of nationalism is through political and ecclesiastical path, which both of them use the legacy of religious tradition as tool of negotiation, namely the symbol of the institution with the motive of Manguni bird.

Online teaching has been in use for a while, but not many people cared to embrace it as a method of teaching until the COVID-19 pandemic literally forced them into giving it a consideration. The sudden outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic led to the shutting down of schools across the country and several parts of the world. Consequently, many state governments and educational institutions turned to media broadcasts as well as online teaching to keep learners engaged. For the first time in decades, teleconferencing applications and Internet services such as Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Skype witnessed a surge in their use for teaching and learning as well as for conducting meetings in different spheres of life such as governance and business. Thus, many English language instructors began to teach online without any appreciable time to understand the specialized techniques for the design of online teaching for maximum benefit to learners. Many English language instructors arranged for synchronous online classes that lasted between one to three hours. From personal experiences, the researchers observed that many learners in such classes experienced boredom and disengaged from the live online classes. This prompted the researchers to rethink how online English language teaching can be designed for maximum engagement of learners. This paper proposes the incorporation of the flipped classroom approach into the design of online English language teaching and presents steps that English language instructors need to take to be able to incorporate the flipped classroom approach into online English Language teaching for maximum benefits and learners’ engagement.

The tenets of quantile-based inference in Bayesian models

Bayesian inference can be extended to probability distributions defined in terms of their inverse distribution function, i.e. their quantile function. This applies to both prior and likelihood. *Quantile-based likelihood* is useful in models with sampling distributions which lack an explicit probability density function. *Quantile-based prior* allows for flexible distributions to express expert knowledge. The principle of *quantile-based* Bayesian inference is demonstrated in the univariate setting with a Govindarajulu likelihood, as well as in a *parametric quantile regression*, where the error term is described by a quantile function of a Flattened Skew-Logistic distribution.
