Abstract
Objectives: To quantify the depiction of violence and vulgarity in television programmes for children, and to assess the perception and practices of parents and children about television programmes meant for children.
Methods:  We conducted this mixed-methods cross-sectional study in Karachi, Pakistan in the months of August-September 2018, after approval from the ethics review board of Dow University of Health Sciences, Karachi. First, a content analysis of over 102 hours of various television programmes meant for children was performed in the light of the guidelines set out by the World Health Organisation, the United States Federal Communication Commission and the Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority. Seven trained researchers sampled the children prime time throughout a week, including the weekends, using a structured tally sheet. Subsequently, interviews were conducted with dyad of parent-children from the employees’ list of a public-sector university. A questionnaire was also administered to assess the practices and perceptions of the parents-children dyad about the programmes.  Data was analysed using SPSS 24.
Results: Of the 173 subjects, 84(48.6%) were parents and 89(51.4%) were children. The mean age of the children was 89 children 9.8±3.7 years. Content analysis comprised 6130 minutes, of which 5442(88.8%) had depictions of violence and vulgarity. Depiction of violence and vulgarity was prevalent on television channels that were watched the most, but there was no significant difference in this regard (p=0.238). Of the parents, 68(81%) expressed concern over the effect of screen time and content on the mental health of their children.

Published: November 2021

Di dalam undang-undang wakaf, sudah memuat di dalamnya ketentuan yang menyatakan bahwa Hak Kekayaan Intelektual dapat beralih dan dialihkan seperti wakaf. Padahal Hak Kekayaan Intelektual bukanlah benda nyata (material). Berangkat dari persoalan inilah, penulis tertarik untuk meneliti tentang Hak Kekayaan Intelektual sebagai objek wakaf. Metode pendekatan penelitian dalam karya tulis ini adalah penelitian pustaka, jenis kajian kualitatif dengan menggunakan metode analisis dokumen. Kajian ini dibagi menjadi empat metode pokok, yaitu, metode penentuan subjek, bentuk kajian, metode pengumpulan data, dan metode analisis data.

Adapun temuannya adalah mengenai wakaf dalam Hak Kekayaan Intelektual yang tercantum di dalam Undang-Undang No. 14 Tahun 2014 tentang Wakaf dijelaskan kategorinya di dalam Peraturan Pemerintah No. 42 Tahun 2006 Pasal 21. Pada poin b, dijelaskan bahwa benda bergerak selain uang yang dapat diwakafkan dalam Hak Kekayaan Intelektual yaitu berupa: a) hak cipta, b) hak merk, c) hak paten, d) hak desain industri, e) hak rahasia dagang, f) hak sirkuit terpadu, g) hak perlindungan variates tanaman, dan atau hak lainnya.

Hukum Indonesia tentang wakaf mengkategorikan Hak Kekayaan Intelektual sebagai benda immaterial yang memiliki nilai dengan adanya royalti yang didapat oleh pencipta dari Hak Kekayaan Intelektual tersebut. Pencipta berhak untuk mengalihkan hak yang dimilikinya atas royalti yang didapat olehnya sesuai keinginannya, salah satunya adalah dengan cara mewakafkannya. Wakaf benda immaterial tersebut diperbolehkan karena sudah dipandang umum oleh tradisi masyarakat Indonesia.

Deep learning is a part of machine learning method that uses artificial neural network (ANN). The type of learning in deep learning can be supervised, semi-supervised, and unsupervised [7] . CNN & RNN (Supervised) and RBM & Autoencoder (Unsupervised) are deep learning algorithms. All of the above algorithms have uses in their respective fields, depending on what we want to use them for. One of the most frequently used cases for deep learning is object detection and classification. The Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) algorithm is the most widely used algorithm for object detection cases, one of the reasons because it is supported by Google's Tensorflow framework, but it turns out that there is one object detection algorithm that has a higher level of accuracy and processing speed, namely You Only Look Once (YOLO) which can run on 2 frameworks (Darknet & Darkflow) and is supported by GPU. That's why here the author prefers to do object detection with the You Only Look Once (YOLO) method. The research data with the title Palembang Food Detection Object Using the YOLO (You Only Look Once) Algorithm is a sample photo of food from Google Image. There are 31 types of Palembang specialties, each type consists of approximately 50 to 70 images, so the total images used are from 31 types of Palembang foods, namely 1955 images with jpeg format for training data, and 31 images with jpeg format typical Palembang foods for test data.

Published: November 2021

The objective of the study is examining dating related abuse on girl students in Bonga University. A mixed research method was used for the data collection and analysis of this study in a sample of 166 regular undergraduate female students. Systematic random and purposive sampling methods were used for data gathering. This research’s result shows that there is a prevalence of dating related abuse with the dominance of emotional abuse. Cultural influence and considering abuse as a sign of love are the major contributing factors and self-esteem is negatively correlated with the three abuse types. Therefore, the researcher concludes; dating abuse can be both a cause and a consequence for low self-esteem and considering abuse as a sign of love which is influenced by society’s culture, has contributed most to its prevalence. Finally, the researcher recommends that attitudes and norms related to gender inequality needs to be challenged and heavy measures should be taken on those who break the law in order to deter others.

One of the most important laws of the countries is the labor law whose the target society is made of a large number of people, i.e. workers and employers. There are laws and regulations in Egypt on the relation between the workers and the employers. There are also principles for protecting this group (workers) as the fundamental principles of work, all of which are intended to improve the workers' lives and to establish rules that will better serve the interests of workers. The main aim of the labor rights is to improve the socioeconomic status of workers and to provide more security and justice and also to establish a social order for this class of society. The present study is a descriptive-analytic research, which investigates jurisprudential-legal government supervision and interference in the relation between the worker and the employer in Egypt. The results indicate that the necessity of government involvement in worker-employer relations has two main reasons. These reasons include changing the nature of labor relations after the industrial revolution and changing the function of government in contemporary time. The complexity and transformation of various relationships, including labor relations, which justifies the need for the intervention of a superior power to support the weak party of this relationship.

COVID-19 Identification using Machine Learning Classifiers with GLCM Features of Chest X-ray Images
Authors: Thepade Sudeep D. , Jha Hrishikesh
Published: November 2021

COVID-19 is an ongoing pandemic, and is also known by the name coronavirus. It was originally discovered in Wuhan, China, in December, 2019. Since then, it has been increasing rapidly worldwide. Since it has been increasing at such a rapid pace, testing equipment has limited availability. Also, this disease spreads very quickly, so it is better if it is detected earlier, in order so that it can be stopped from spreading. Therefore, the importance of early detection has increased; however, because of the shortage of testing sets, it is a necessity to develop an automated system that can detect whether the COVID-19 disease is present in a person or not as early as possible. Therefore, in this work, to extract features from X-ray images of the chest, we have made use of the Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM). After extracting these features for the classification of the images, we used different machine learning models, and an ensemble of machine learning models, to classify X-ray images of the chest as COVID-19, Normal, Pneumonia-bac, or Pneumonia-vir. Considering the average of performance metrics, the ensemble of Random Forest-MLP gave the best result among the variations.

Authors: Lalunio-Manikan Marilyn , Bonto Aldrin P. , Ebreo Carmelo Miguel H.
Published: November 2021

In this study, for the first time, hydrothermal treatment of Eleusine indica leaf extract and silver nitrate produced nanosilver immobilized in hydrothermal carbon synthesized at different reaction times (RT) - 6, 12, 24 and 48 h. The surface morphology of nanosilver hydrochar (AgNP@hydrochar) composites was studied using SEM, while their chemical functionalities were investigated using FT-IR, UV-Vis, XRF and EDX spectroscopy. The AgNP@hydrochar were observed to be agglomerated spherical particles with size ranges from 128 to 171 nm. Varying C=O and C=C IR absorption peaks at different RT suggested that the plant extract reduced Ag+ into Ag0 in solution. Elemental analysis using EDX showed that Ag is dominant in the composite (84.07 %) supported by the Ag spatial distribution as demonstrated by the EDX elemental mapping.

HIGHLIGHTS

For the first time, hydrothermal treatment of Eleusine indica leaf extract with silver nitrate resulted in nanosilver trapped in hydrothermal carbon

HTC process of E. indica extract produced composite having agglomerated spherical particles

EDX elemental mapping showed an abundant silver in the synthesized composite

GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT
Increasing the energy of the initiating spark discharge in order to reduce and stabilize the delay time in a compact vacuum breaker
Authors: Davydov Sergei , Dolgov Alekxander , Kozlov Alekxander , Yakubov Rustam
Published: November 2021

The similarity of the switching mechanisms of compact vacuum spark breakers and spark breakers with laser ignition is established at a comparable level of energy flux density in the ignition node–ionization of the residual gas by a stream of short-wave radiation and fast electrons from the cathode spot plasma or laser plasma. This mechanism allows you to effectively reduce the delay in triggering the spark gap by increasing the ignition energy. An experimental study of the advantages of using an ignition circuit with increased energy for controlling small-sized vacuum spark breakers is carried out. There is a steady decrease in the delay time of the spark gap and an increase in the level

of delay stability. From the point of view of minimization and stability of the delay time of the spark gap, the energy investment in the formation of the initiating plasma occurs most effectively at the spark stage of the auxiliary discharge along the surface of the dielectric in the ignition node.

For a copper laser, record specific generation parameters were obtained almost equal to the limit: radiation energy 2.4 J/l, peak power 120 MW/l with an efficiency of 0.16 %. For the CuBr laser operating in frequency mode, for the first time, an average radiation power of more than 100 W was obtained. In the dual pulse excitation mode, conditions were found that limit the growth of the efficiency of the CuBr laser. For him, a record efficiency of 2.7 % was obtained. For the first time, a nitrogen laser was developed with a maximum efficiency of 0.27 % with an

energy of 0.8 mJ, a peak power of 160 kW. For the first time, a miniature XeCl laser with a longitudinal excitation discharge was developed, which worked both with and without buffer gases He, Ne and Ar.

This study aims to analyze the potential of the regional superior sector in West Aceh Regency and its expansion area by using Location Quotient analysis or abbreviated as LQ towards a sustainable economy in the new normal era. The data used is secondary data sourced from the Central Statistics Agency for each district and province of Aceh. Gross regional domestic product data for the 2010-2020 period is 17 sectors. The results showed that the highest LQ value in Simeulue Regency was 2.18 for the government administration sector, then 1.51 for the agriculture, forestry and fishery sectors. For information, this district excels in lobster cultivation. Next is Nagan Raya Regency with an LQ of 2.88 in the mining/excavation sector and 1.52 in the agriculture/plantation sector. This value is obtained because this district excels in mining C and oil palm plantations. Then Aceh Jaya with an LQ of 1.81 in the construction sector and 1.55 in the transportation sector because this area is superior in terms of tourism. Finally, West Aceh Regency with an LQ value of 1.59 for the financial/information services sector. While in the agricultural/forestry sector it is 1.17 because this district excels in financial services and is the largest city on the southwest coast of Aceh. The leading sectors above must still be managed properly, especially local potentials while still paying attention to a sustainable environmental economy. This is not excessive considering that in this new normal era, the economy must continue to rise even in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic by sticking to health protocols.

Since the discovery of the first malaria parasite in 1880, scientists have been looking to develop a combative vaccine. Although some vaccines have been successful with certain viral and bacterial pathogens, the deadliest species of malaria, Plasmodium falciparum (P. falciparum), has not yet been bested (Frimpong et al., 2018). However, many vaccine candidates are currently being tested and could possibly pave the way for malaria eradication in the future.

Abstract. Ceilometer measurements of aerosol backscatter profiles have been widely used to provide continuous PBLHT estimations. To investigate the robustness of ceilometer-estimated PBLHT under different atmospheric conditions, we compared ceilometer- and radiosonde-estimated PBLHTs using long term U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) ceilometer and balloon-borne sounding data at three ARM fixed-location atmospheric observatories and from three ARM mobile observatories deployed around the world for various field campaigns, which cover from Tropics to Polar regions and over both ocean and land surfaces. Statistical comparisons of ceilometer-estimated PBLHTs from the Vaisala CL31 ceilometer data with radiosonde-estimated PBLHTs from the ARM PBLHT-SONDE Value-added Product (VAP) are performed under different atmospheric conditions including stable and unstable atmospheric boundary layer, low-level cloud-free, and cloudy conditions at these ARM observatories. Under unstable atmospheric boundary layer conditions, good comparisons are found between ceilometer- and radiosonde-estimated PBLHTs at ARM low- and mid-latitude land observatories. However, it is still challenging to obtain reliable PBLHT estimations over ocean surfaces even using radiosonde data. Under stable atmospheric boundary layer conditions, ceilometer- and radiosonde-estimated PBLHTs have weak correlations. Among different PBLHT estimations utilizing the Heffter, the Liu-Liang, and the bulk Richardson number methods in the ARM PBLHT-SONDE VAP, ceilometer-estimated PBLHTs have better comparisons with the Liu-Liang method under unstable and with the bulk Richardson number method under stable atmospheric boundary layer conditions.

Abstract. Aerosols play a critical role in radiative transfer within the atmosphere, and they have a significant impact on climate change. As part of the validation of atmospheric correction of remote sensing data affected by the atmosphere, it is critical to utilize appropriate aerosol models as aerosols are a main source of error. In this paper, we propose and demonstrate a framework for building and identifying an aerosol model. For this purpose, we define the aerosol model by recalculating the aerosol microphysical properties (Cvf, Cvc, %Cvf, %Cvc, rvf, rvc, σr, σc, nr440, nr650, nr850, nr1020, ni440, ni650, ni850, ni1020, %Sph) based on the optical thickness at 440 nm τ440 and the Ångström coefficient α440–870 obtained from numerous AERosol RObotic NETwork (AERONET) sites. Using aerosol microphysical properties provided by the AERONET dataset, we were able to evaluate our own retrieved microphysical properties. The associated uncertainties are up to 23 %, except for the challenging, imaginary part of the refractive index ni (about 38 %). Uncertainties of the retrieved aerosol microphysical properties were incorporated in the framework for validating surface reflectance derived from space-borne Earth observation sensors. Results indicate that the impact of aerosol microphysical properties varies 3.5 × 10−5 to 10−3 in reflectance units. Finally, the uncertainties of the microphysical properties yielded an overall uncertainty of approximately of 1 to 3 % of the retrieved surface reflectance in the MODIS red spectral band (620–670 nm), which corresponds to the specification used for atmospheric correction.

Abstract. The new airborne thermal infrared (TIR) imager VELOX (Video airbornE Longwave Observations within siX channels) is introduced. The commercial camera system of VELOX covers six spectral bands with center wavelengths between 7.7 µm and 12 µm. VELOX is currently applied on board the German High Altitude and Long Range Research Aircraft (HALO). It observes two-dimensional fields of upward terrestrial spectral radiance with a horizontal spatial resolution of approximately 10 m by 10 m at a target distance of 10 km. Atmospheric temperature values are rather low compared to the original application of the TIR imager system and range close to the detection limit of the sensor. This challenge requires additional calibration efforts to reduce the measurement uncertainties of VELOX. These calibration and correction procedures, including radiometric calibrations, non-uniform corrections, bad-pixel replacements, and window corrections for data collected by VELOX, are presented. First measurements acquired by VELOX during the EUREC4A (ElUcidating the RolE of Cloud-Circulation Coupling in ClimAte) campaign are presented, including an analyses of the cloud top brightness temperature, cloud mask/fraction, and cloud top altitude data. They reveal that the cloud top temperature can be resolved with a resolution of better than 0.1 K, which translates into a resolution of approximately 40 m with respect to cloud top altitude.
