A Simplified Sounding System for Finding NVIS Channel Availability to Support Government Radio Networks in Indonesia
Authors: Dutono Titon , Zakariyah Zulmi , Santoso Tribudi , Setiawan Denny
Published: June 2019

MostlyÂ  natural disasters in Java Island such as landslides are within the vicinity of not more than 200 Km from the district capital. Cellular communications require complex systems and rather vulnerable Â to cope with disasters. NVIS mode is considered as a simple radio link during disaster mitigation initiation process. It needs a valid estimation to figure out the condition of the ionosphere. There are two purposes of this study, the first of which is an attempt to find out a fact the existences of authorized HF users who still work in the band of 3 MHz â€“ 10 MHz.Â  The second is to integrate low cost HF radio communication, commonly available small single board computer hardware, and opensource software, to build a sounding system to evaluate the quality of NVIS channels. Prediction system such VOACAP give hourly prediction data, however it has an inherent limitation because ofÂ Â  nature the underlying databases is monthly average based, therefore, the estimation could not be made in a daily bases. However, a real-time channel evaluation (RTCE)Â  able to purify maximum observed frequency (MOF) estimation, and consequently, its able to select the best available frequency for short termÂ  and real time operation. In this study, we used WSPR to perform a simple RTCE technique. Furthermore, we also reviewed the current regulatory status regardingÂ  the availability of sub-10 MHz band for NVIS radio operation. The results show that discrepancies between simulation and measurement are occurred mainly because of sporadic data in the band of 60m and 80m. However, all of the measurement results and simulations almost have the same agreement regarding the quiet period between local midnight and local sunrise. The results of measurements show that 60m band is the most reliable NVIS channel between local sunrise and local midnight. Furthermore, 100 watts is a proper transmitter power to reach the required SNR for reliable voice communication.Â

Authors: Maisyaroh Iffa , Oktavia Silvi
Published: June 2019

The existing knowledge in society has not been spread explicitly. Thus local knowledge is still unknown to the people in the region itself. This study aimed to provide information related to the dissemination of local knowledge applied to cultural literacy programs form: ideas, behavior, and artifacts or works. The kind of the idea is stated in a paper, the behavior is shown in community activities, and artifacts are contained in works in the form of objects as results of activities and actions. The main focus is on basic human needs: clothing and food applied through Griya Boedaya tour. Clothing consists of typical East Javanese fabrics, while food consists of East Javanese specialties. The culture produced reflects the characteristics of the environment. Thus it has features standing out that becomes the identity of the local community’s culture. In the East Java region, knowledge is an invisible or intangible local asset owned by people in the area. This study used the literature method with qualitative approach by searching for books, e-journals, proceedings, thesis and articles. Results of the people’s knowledge in the form of typical food and unique clothing were a manifestation of people's expression of their environment. Griya Boedaya introduces local cultures such as regional cloth and cuisine and is a tourist means which introduces history, creation process, work systems, tools used, and the use and philosophy of local cultural products. Hopefully, the cultural literacy tour will enable people to recognize, know, and understand their culture with easy-to-understand and fun methods.
Literasi informasi masyarakat Desa Paseban, Kecamatan Kencong, Kabupaten Jember melalui budaya ‘marung’
Authors: Widiyawati Anita Tri
Published: June 2019

The ‘marung’ culture is a custom of the people of Paseban village. The ‘marung’ activity is a means to relax after work, ward off feelings of loneliness by meeting neighbors, and sharing information. This becomes a potential for information literacy. The purpose of this study was to describe and analyze the factors underlying the formation of ‘marung’ culture and information literacy. The research method used qualitative research method. The data collection technique used was observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis steps in this study were (1) condensation of data, (2) presentation of data, and (3) drawing conclusions and verification. The data credibility test used: source triangulation, technique triangulation, and time triangulation. The result of this study showed ‘marung’ culture was formed based on the history of the village community to set strategies of defending themselves from Dutch colonialism by creating ‘cangkrukan’/gathering habits. After the Dutch colonial period ended, this ‘cangkrukan’ habit became attached to the village community. The ‘warung’ was considered the most strategic place for ‘cangkrukan’. This place can accommodate all people from various backgrounds to chat, have fun, establish ‘silaturahmi’/hospitality, relax from daily activities, and get the information needed. ‘Marung’ culture fulfills four cultural systems, namely: culture, social, personality, and organism. ‘Marung’ culture is very closely related to information literacy and Hubermas' theory of public space. The Paseban village community has implemented the IFLA information literacy standard in supporting its work, from the access, evaluation, to usage stages.

Authors: Pratiwi Anggi , Asyarotin Eflinnida Nurul Komaril
Published: June 2019

The emergence of disinformation phenomena that occur currently in the millennial generation is due to the easy-going attitude that believes in the information obtained without looking at the truth or examining the credibility of the information source. Eventually, the millennial generation does not have the analytical thinking process of using information. The purpose of this study was to get a picture of disinformation that occurred in the millennial generation and explained the application of cultural literacy and citizenship as a solution to overcome disinformation. The research used the literature study method with a qualitative approach. Data collection used primary and secondary data obtained through various kinds of literature in the last ten years (2009-2019) such as books, e-books, e-journals, and proceedings. Based on the results of the analysis of the problems studied and supported by the theory used, the results showed that cultural and citizenship education could be applied in millennial generation literacy styles. This generation could be more selective in receiving and processing information obtained, could prevent the emergence of hoaxes and hate speech circulating in the community and instill cultural values and citizenship in the lifestyle in the millennial era. The steps taken are activity programs that contain useful information processing process that shapes an individual to become more selective in processing information obtained as well as implementing cultural literacy and citizenship independently in schools, family, and environment.
FEMALE VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND THEIR RIGHTS TO COMPENSATION IN MALAYSIA
Authors: Mohammed Na'aim Mohd Safri , Rajamanickam Ramalinggam , Nordin Rohaida
Published: June 2019

In Malaysia, victims of domestic violence including women may seek protection under the Domestic Violence Act 1994 (Act 521) (hereinafter “DVA 1994”). Pursuant to section 10 of the DVA 1994, female victims of domestic violence (hereinafter “FVDV”) have the right to claim compensation from their husbands or former husbands (hereinafter “Abusive Husbands”). The criminal court also has jurisdiction to make a compensation order as stated under section 426 (1A) of the Criminal Procedure Code (Act 593) (hereinafter “CPC”). A qualitative approach was used for this research, consisting of a detailed analysis of the DVA 1994, CPC, Penal Code (Act 574), case laws, journals, newspapers and scholarly writings related to this area. Based on the findings, there are shortcomings within both provisions which may affect the FVDV’s claim for compensation. Thus, it is timely to propose amendments and reforms to enhance their rights. These include the insertion of a provision stressing that the claim for compensation under section 10 of the DVA 1994 can be applied through a stand-alone application, the inclusion of a provision allowing the compensation order to be initiated by the court on its own motion or upon the application by the FVDV themselves, imposing a responsibility on the court to give reasons if the court decides to disallow the application for compensation made, explaining the legal consequence to the offender should the offender fail to comply with the compensation order, and alternatively to consider a state-funded compensation scheme to provide immediate financial assistance to FVDV without going through the court process. Keywords: Abusive husbands, domestic violence, female victims of domestic violence (FVDV), right to compensation. Cite as: Mohammed Na’aim, M.

Published: July 2019

La información de precipitación es crítica para la comprensión del equilibrio hidrológico a escala global. La lluvia, junto con otras variables ambientales tales como evapotranspiración, temperatura, humedad relativa, entre otras, representa un factor de interés para la producción agrícola. Debido a esto, surge la necesidad de llevar adelante estudios que posibiliten comprender mejor la variabilidad espacial y temporal de las mismas. En este trabajo se presenta una metodología que permite automatizar la descarga de series temporales de datos de precipitación de la Misión de Medición de la Lluvia Tropical (Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM)) desde la plataforma Google Earth Engine (GEE) y validar los datos obtenidos con una serie de datos históricos de una estación meteorológica. Con este fin se desarrolló un sistema bajo la plataforma GEE para la generación y descarga de datos TRMM. Como caso de estudio se fijó la cuenca del Arroyo Las Conchas de la Provincia de Entre Ríos, Argentina. Para la validación de los resultados, se generó un set de datos con la información de precipitaciones desde el 1 de enero del 2000 al 31 de diciembre del 2015, medida por pluviómetros, para el área de influencia de la estación meteorológica de la Estación Experimental Agropecuaria del INTA de Oro Verde, departamento de Paraná, provincia de Entre Ríos, Argentina. Los resultados obtenidos mediante el proceso de evaluación muestran que existe una estrecha relación entre ambas fuentes de información. La metodología propuesta permitirá generar sets de datos históricos de precipitación para estudiar el régimen hídrico en regiones de difícil acceso o en cuencas extensas y poco pobladas.
The Effect of Film Frame Series on Viewer’s Reflective Processes (In the Crossroad of Art, Epistemology and Psychology)
Authors: RUMYAN Yervand
Published: June 2019

What kind of a toolkit should be used and how in order to have impact on the viewer’s reflective processes as well as guide such processes through a film? The author of this article explicates the idea that editing arrangement of shots (frames) series is essential in this aspect. He believes that the full effect and precision of what you want to say is conditioned by the meaningful structure of the series of shots (frames). The latter is achieved as a result of well-thought-out editing. The analysis, hypotheses, and statements presented in the article are subject to further detailed study, particularly from the perspective of general psychology and epistemology. However, it is beyond any doubt that specific succession of shots is forming a contextual and implicative information environment enabling to guide the audience’s perception process, thus affecting person’s contemplation processes and emotional state.
The Features of Political Participation in Conditions of Information Society
Authors: Petrosyan Astghik
Published: June 2019

In the 21st century the Internet and information technologies form new opportunities for political participation. The Internet wide coverage has created unprecedented opportunities for dissemination of information on social-political processes, for enlargement of the aware sector and for their active involvement in social-political processes.

Use of the Internet in politics leads to the evolution of the conventional model of political participation, thus, securing the impact of broad masses on the political decision-making processes.

Political Internet participation makes it possible to overcome such obstacles as time and distance. The political discourse that had acquired features of horizontal communication is turning into a multi-component, multi-lateral model of interactive communication.

The article presents the role and influence of the Internet and means of electronic communication on political ongoings and participatory processes. An analysis is given on the role of the Internet and information technologies in the revolutionary events and power turnover processes of 2018 in Armenia.

The author come to the conclusion that neutralization of abuses and risks of the opportunities given by continually developing technologies, supposes not only philosophical consideration but also moral and legal studies and practical mechanisms.
Academic and Corporate Cultures in Modern University (A Case Study of Armenia and Belarus)
Authors: ZASLAVSKAYA Maria , TITARENKO Larissa , AVETISYAN Pargev
Published: June 2019

Any reforms of modern education in the context of the Bologna principles somehow connected with the fundamental academic values and freedoms that guarantee institutional autonomy and social integrity of the universities. At the same time, post-soviet transformations of the higher education systems (HESs) often assume the introduction of the market-oriented approaches to meet the economic challenges that may contradict the traditional academic culture. On the basis of research data gleaned mainly from expert interviews in framework of case study in Armenia and Belarus, the authors analyze the ongoing transformations in HES with a focus on the features of implementation of academic freedoms in the context of existing contradiction between the new tendencies in higher education (market-oriented values, the entrepreneurial university model) and its classical humanistic model oriented to academic values, as well as to assess a possibility of coexisting academic and market cultures within the university.  The authors reveal the contradictory attitudes to assessment of the level of implementation of academic freedoms and to the possibility of combining academic freedoms with corporate culture in mentioned countries. Moreover, HESs needs the radical changes that would not destroy its fundamental culture and help to adjust universities to the global challenges.
Critical Remarks on the Essence and Scope of Philosophy of Religion
Authors: Stepanyan Andranik
Published: June 2019

The goal of this article to critically examine the essence and scope of philosophy of religion, its place and relation to philosophy and religious studies. Philosophy of religion is not only interrelated to both philosophy and religious studies but it is an inter-disciplinary field of knowledge. Philosophy of religion, being an inter-disciplinary field on the boundary of philosophy and religious studies and as a phenomenon of western rationalistic tradition, is engaged in conceptual and theoretical examination and analysis of the content of religion. Philosophical reflections on religious matters, concepts, claims and practices, the origin of religion, relation between religion and other fields of knowledge and culture, and so on, are the scope of philosophy of religion. Philosophy of religion is based on rational approach. One of the functions of philosophy of religion is to verify whether the religious or theological claims and statements are trustworthy and rational, true or false, from the standpoint of logic. Viewed from this position philosophy of religion ought to be, to some extent, a normative discipline, a feature that has been overlooked by many scholars and philosophers of religion. Philosophy of religion is philosophical examination and comprehension of the phenomenon and essence of religion.

Authors: Anbu Chudar Azhagan S. , Kathiravan V.S.
Published: June 2019

Crystallization of γ-glycine in the presence of selected concentration (9 g/mL) of tailor-made additive magnesium sulfate heptahydrate salt (MgSO4·7H2O) has been studied at ambient temperature by adopting slow solvent evaporation procedure. The morphological modifications of glycine crystals grown from pure aqueous solutions of glycine and from glycine solutions containing magnesium species in the amount of 0.1 g/mL to 16 g/mL have been investigated thoroughly. The crystalline nature and phase identification of the crystalline material were confirmed by X-ray powder diffraction and SXRD studies. NMR studies revealed the information about the molecular conformation in solution, phase changes, functional groups and chemical environment. FT-IR spectra revealed distinct difference between α and γ-glycine polymorphs in the region around 880 cm−1 to 930 cm−1. The grown γ-glycine crystal had a lower cut-off value at 200 nm and the bandgap value evaluated from the Tauc plot was found to be 5.83 eV. The marked differences between α and γ-polymorphs of glycine were also revealed by DSC thermograms. The mechanical strength of the γ-glycine crystal was studied with the help of Vickers microhardness instrument. Kurtz-powder NLO study proved the generation of second harmonics (i.e. green light emission) in the grown γ-glycine crystal and its efficiency was calculated as 1.44 times better than that of the reference material potassium dihydrogen phosphate.
In-hospital screening for diabetes mellitus with HbA1c in an internal medicine department was not useful; a prospective pilot study
Authors: Karakonstantis Stamatis , Kassotaki Ifigeneia , Korela Dafni , Arna Despoina , Milaki Kalliopi , Tsigaridaki Maria , Lydakis Charalampos , Pappas Angelos
Published: June 2019

Background. Screening inpatients for diabetes mellitus may be a good opportunity to detect undiagnosed cases and several studies have demonstrated the feasibility and usefulness of this practice. HbA1c has been suggested as the method of choice due to the effects of acute illness on glucose. The aim of this study was to evaluate a screening protocol based on HbA1c to identify inpatients with undiagnosed diabetes mellitus in an internal medicine department.

Methods. We conducted a prospective study of all admissions in the internal medicine department of a 412-bed community hospital in Greece during a 6-month period. Candidates for screening based on the American Diabetes Association’s recommendations were screened with HbA1c. Patients with very poor health status and patients with conditions that may interfere with HbA1c measurement or interpretation were excluded.

Results. Of 463 patients (median age 74) only a small proportion (14.9%) were candidates for screening with HbA1c. Known diabetes mellitus, a low admission glucose, severe anemia or blood loss and poor health status were the most common reasons of exclusion. Among the 55 screened patients, 7 had diabetes (based on HbA1c ≥ 6.5%). However, in only 1 of them HbA1c was above target considering the patients’ health status. Categorical agreement (no diabetes, prediabetes, diabetes) between morning glucose and HbA1c was low. However, the concordance between a morning glucose < 125 mg/dl and HbA1c < 6.5% was > 90%.

Conclusions. In settings similar to ours (very elderly patients, high rate of conditions that confound the use of HbA1c and high rate of patients with poor health status), untargeted screening of inpatients with HbA1c is unlikely to be cost-effective. A morning glucose during hospitalization may be a better first step for screening.
E-commerce and its impact on retail stores in Slovakia
Authors: Hasan Jamal
Published: June 2019

E-commerce is the purchase and sale of goods and services over the Internet. It assumed that despite the ever-expanding online transaction, the retail shops would not disappear. Various surveys have shown that customers still prefer to shop in stores and the number of purchases is increasing. Currently, they mainly use combinations of ecommerce and retail stores. Before the final purchase in the store, customers prefer to find out all the necessary information via the Internet. In the case of online shopping, customers prefer to look at the product in a retail shop and then purchase it via e-shop. In this paper, we decided to verify my hypothesis. The article aimed to determine the impact of e-commerce on retail stores.

Published: June 2019

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the selected coagulation profile parameters in sheep naturally infected with Dicrocoeliumdentriticum and effects of albendazole treatment. For this reason, 34 merino sheep, aged between 1 and 3 years, naturally infected with Dicrocoeliumdentriticumwere enrolled in the present study. Plasma and stool samples were withdrawn from each animal before and 10 days after treatment and egg per gram feces were evaluated with Mc Master technique. Prothrombin time activated partial thromboplastin time and fibrinogen levels were determined by semiautomated coagulometer by using commercial test kits before and 10 days after treatment.Noticeable clinical recovery was detected in all animals after albendazole treatment. There were significant differences on Prothrombin time and fibrinogen levels a p value of (p<0.001) between treatment intervals. In conclusion, this is the first study for selected coagulation parameters before and after albendazole treatment for ovine patients naturally infected with Dicrocoeliumdentriticum. It should be mentioned that the treatment resulted in lower prothrombin time and fibrinogen values, suggesting that dicrocoeliasis might alter coagulation profile and possibly induce an acute phase response. Furthermore, the clinical relevance in ovine medicine and related results possibly interacting to human medicine has to be determined by future studies.

Authors: Van Tuan Nguyen , Nghi Tran , Van Tran Tan
Published: June 2019

Abstract: The South Central Coastal Quaternary sandy formation has been studied by many authors according to different objectives, mainly for establishing quaternary geological maps ata different scale. There are 5 sedimentary cycles established based on the absolute age of the sand, that was analyzed by the method of thermoluminescent dating of quartz (TL), and by the comparison between 5 global glacial /interglacialcycles and 5 sedimentary cycles of the Red River Delta. The Southern Central coastal sandy cycle corresponds to 5 sequences. Sequence 1 has the age of early Pleistocene (Q11); Sequence 2 has middle Pleistocene age, early part (Q12a);  Sequence 3 has Pleistocene age in the middle of the late part (Q12b); Sequence 4 has age of early Late Pleistocene part (Q13a) and Sequence 5 has age of late Pleistocene - Holocene (Q13b-Q2). Each sequence has 3 systems which tract corresponding to 3 lithofacies complex: (1) Lowstand systems tractcorresponding to alluvial gravelly sand facies complex (arLST) or marine-wind red sand facies complex (mvLST); (2) Transgressive systems tract corresponding to the white sand and spotted white sandy barrier bar facies complex (mtTST); Highstand systems tract corresponding to the marine-wind red sand facies complex (mvHST).

Keywords: Sequence startigraphy, sedimentary cycle, systems tract, lithofacies complex.

Beberapa jenis industri di sekitar Sungai Donan memiliki potensi mencemari lingkungan. Logam berat merupakan polutan berbahaya bagi kesehatan manusia, biotik perairan dan dapat terakumulasi pada sedimen Sungai. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui konsentrasi Logam berat Pb dan Cd, pengaruh pH dan Salinitas terhadap konsentrasi Pb dan Cd, laju endap Pb dan Cd pada sedimen Sungai Donan. Pada bulan Mei 2010 saat muka air tertinggi, konsentrasi tertinggi Pb pada sedimen berada di Titik 4 yaitu sebesar 68,11 ppm, dan untuk Cd berada pada titik 3 yaitu sebesar 1,2 ppm, dan konsentrasi Pb dan Cd pada sedimen terendah berada di Titik 6 yaitu sebesar 6,87 ppm untuk Pb, dan 0,3 untuk Cd. Pada bulan Juni 2010 saat muka air perairan terendah, konsentrasi tertinggi Pb dan Cd pada sedimen berada di Titik 6 yaitu sebesar 35,30 ppm untuk Pb, dan 3,5 ppm untuk Cd. Konsentrasi terendah Pb pada sedimen berada di Titik 3 yaitu sebesar 9,95 ppm, dan untuk Cd berada pada titik 3 yaitu sebesar 0,32 ppm. Dalam kaitannya dengan pH dan Salinitas, maka dilakukan uji korelasi polinomial terhadap konsentrasi Pb dan Cd pada setiap Titik Sampling. Hasil perhitungan menunjukkan bahwa pada bulan Mei 2010 tidak terlihat korelasi secara jelas antara pH terhadap konsentrasi Pb dan Cd di sedimen dengan nilai R2 sebesar 0,089 untuk Pb dan R2 sebesar 0,103 untuk Cd. Korelasi yang lebih kuat pada bulan Juni 2010 dimana nilai R2 sebesar 0,673 diperoleh untuk Pb dan R2 sebesar 0,677 untuk Cd. Demikian pula dengan pengaruh Salinitas terhadap konsentasi Pb dan Cd, pada bulan Mei 2010 diperoleh nilai R sebesar 0,308 untuk Pb dan R2 sebesar 0,378 untuk Cd sedangkan pada bulan Juni 2010 diperoleh R2 sebesar 0,2238 untuk Pb dan R2 sebesar 0,2798 untuk Cd. Laju endap Pb adalah 0,351 m/detik, dan Cd adalah 0,260 m/detik.
