Intelligence, Meaning, Egoism: Dangerous Connections
Authors: Levit Leonid Z.
Published: December 2020

The author of the paper delineates and regards numerous ties, existing between the notions of meaning, intelligence and egoism. He demonstrates and proves the possibility of creating a new big construct under the name of «meaningful intelligence» - analogical to emotional intelligence. At the same time, detection of the connections between egoism and intelligence and, especially, with meaning, can decrease moral connotations, associated with the last two notions. It is also shown, that dual-system and multilevel theory, elaborated by the author, eliminates to a large degree contradictions, existing in modern psychology of intelligence.

SEJARAH PEMBANGUNAN HUKUM PERBANKAN SYARIAH DI INDONESIA
Authors: Umam Khotibul
Published: December 2020

In this article the author traces the historic development of Islamic or sharia banking in Indonesia and this will be done by analysing the evolution of a series of successive laws promulgated over time.  From these laws (Law Nos. 7/1992; 10/1998 and 21/2008) we can discern, how over the years, the Indonesian government gradually accept and recognized sharia banking principles, resulting in the establishment of Sharia Banks alongside conventional Banks.  These successive laws also shows the gradual process of policy changes which involves a top-down, bottom up and again a top down approach. Through this process, Sharia Banks develops in Indonesia and has been able to meet society’s need not only for a modern banking system, but also more importantly, providing banking services in line with the sharia.
PEMBUATAN AKTA/SURAT KETERANGAN WARIS OLEH NOTARIS BAGI MASYARAKAT ADAT BALI
Authors: Sudradjat Debiana Dewi
Published: December 2020

The legal basis justifying the existence of notaries as public officials and a legal profession were Netherland-Indies laws.  These colonial laws were, by virtue of Art. I Transitional Rules of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia (4th Amendment), taken over and considered to be still in force.  Consequently, one of the public service offered by Notary publics, i.e., issuance of letter of inheritance or written affidavit stating which family members of the deceased may by law be regarded as heir-successor, has not been made available to Balinese adat communities. This service can only be enjoyed by those individuals who submit themselves to the (colonial) Civil Code. The article explores, using a juridical empirical approach, the possibility to extent the above public notary’s service to Balinese adat (traditional) communities.

The Correlation Between Metaphor Content and the Message Persuasive Power
Authors: Kalinin Oleg I.
Published: December 2020

The article considers the problem of the metaphor power, namely, how the contents of metaphorical mappings in speech affects the persuasiveness of a given message. The author analyzes the relationship between the contents of a speech message and decision making, as well as studies that are aimed at analyzing the content of metaphors and its function. On the basis of the original methodology, an empirical study is implemented, it is based on the hypothesis that the metaphor content really affects the persuasiveness of a message and that there is the possibility of a quantitative calculation of the strength of this persuasive effect. As a research methodology, a two-stage experiment is used, where in the first stage 20 authors wrote texts on a given topic, and in the second 162 respondents identified the author’s point of view. The texts were analyzed using the metaphor content index (MCI), after which the original and perceived author’s viewpoints were compared with the content of the metaphors used. The results showed that the calculation of the metaphor content index can only partially be used to determine the strength of the speech impact of the metaphor. Intercultural, intra-social, professional, inter-linguistic variations lead to significant variations in both the producing and comprehension of metaphorical mappings. The main conclusion of theoretical and empirical study is the fact that the specific content of metaphors, as well as their variations, can be an effective tool for enhancing persuasiveness. However, each researcher should analyze the content of metaphorical transfers in relation to specific extralinguistic, that is, primarily cultural and social factors.
Exploration of Local Microorganisms from Rumen and Their Potential to Make Silage from Agricultural Waste
Authors: Purnamasari Listya , Purnomo Hari , Setyawan Hidayat Bambang
Published: December 2020

Agricultural wastes are very diverse in type and have low nutrient values, especially in lignin and cellulose, which are difficult to digest. One way of overcoming this problem is by biological treatment using microorganisms, also known as silage. The availability of bio-activators that are both cost-efficient and easy to make further suggests that using local microorganisms may be an effective possible solution. This study focused on processing food crop waste (corn leaves) into silage using local microorganisms as the bio-activators. Research took place in the Agrotechnology Laboratory, University of Jember. The experimental design was completely randomized with four treatments: Treatment 1 (rumen), Treatment 2 (rumen + banana humps), Treatment 3 (rumen + petung bamboo shoots), and Treatment 4 (rumen + gamal leaves). The parameters tested were local microorganism quality (pH, total microbial, and organoleptic) and silage quality (nutrient composition, pH, and organoleptic). After three weeks, the organoleptic local microorganism test results in all treatments showed clear colors, an acidic aroma, small number of fungi, and normal pH (3–5). In terms of silage quality, the resulting local microorganisms could be used as a bio-activator in the silage fermentation process, with the maturity level indicated by a color change (green to brownish green), sweet and acidic aroma, softer tape and texture, and pH of 4–6. The proximate test results of this silage feed showed better nutrient content in the addition of formulations in the manufacture of local microorganisms. Petung bamboo shoots, gamal leaves, and banana humps can increase the nutrient content, mainly the protein. We therefore conclude that local microorganisms from the rumen and local materials can be used as activator materials in making silage from corn leaves with an increase in the value of waste nutrients.

DİNDARLIK İLE KİŞİLİK İLİŞKİSİ ÜZERİNE BİR SAHA ARAŞTIRMASI (SİVEREK ÖRNEĞİ)
Authors: KALGI Mehmet Emin , KAYIKLIK Hasan
Published: December 2020

Üzerinde bir tanım birliğine varılamayan dindarlık ve kişilik kavramları, çok farklı şekillerde tanımlanmaktadır. Genel olarak dindarlık; inanç, ahlâk ve ibadet bütünlüğü olarak tanımlanırken; kişilik, bireyin tutarlı davranışlar göstermesi olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Dindarlık ve kişilik ilişkisi ile ilgili uzun zamandır araştırmalar yapılmaktadır. Bu araştırmalardan bazıları her ne kadar teorik olarak yapılsa da genel olarak yapılan araştırmalar empirik çalışmalardan oluşmaktadır. İlişkisel bağlamında yapılan dindarlık ve kişilik çalışmalarında genellikle dindarlık bağımsız kişilik ise bağımlı değişken olarak ele alınmaktadır. Yani dindarlığın kişilik üzerinde bir etkisi olup olmadığı incelenmektedir. Fakat bu araştırmalardan elde edilen sonuçlar her ne kadar bize bir fikir verse de farklı modeller (örneğin, deneysel model) kullanılarak farklı çalışmalar yapmak daha etkili sonuçlar elde etmemizi sağlayabilir. Bir saha çalışması olarak yapılan bu araştırmada; imam-hatip, meslek lisesi ve genel liselerde eğitim-öğretim gören öğrencilerin dindarlık düzeyleri ile kişilik özellikleri arasında bir ilişki olup olmadığı ortaya konulması amaçlanmaktadır. Dolayısıyla araştırmada kullanılan temel değişkenler dindarlık ve kişilik özellikleridir. Genel tarama modelinde olan bu araştırmanın verileri, "Hacettepe Kişilik Envanteri (HKE)", "Dinsel Yaşayış Ölçeği (DYÖ)" ve geliştirilen "Kişisel Bilgi Formu" ile elde edilmiştir. Araştırmanın evrenini, Şanlıurfa'nın Siverek ilçe merkezinde bulunan genel, imam-hatip ve meslek liselerinde eğitim-öğretim gören öğrenciler, örneklemini ise bu öğrenciler arasında seçilen 236 katılımcı oluşturmaktadır. Bunların %60.6'sı (143) kız, %39.4'ü (93) ise erkektir. Katılımcıların yaş aralığı 14-20 arasında değişmekte ve yaş ortalaması ise 15.80'dir. Verilerin analizinde, dindarlık ve alt boyutları ile kişilik ve kişilik alt boyutları arasındaki ilişkiyi öğrenmek için Spearman Sıra Farkları Korelasyonu kullanılmıştır. Bu testin kullanılma sebebi, iki değişkenden biri veya ikisi ön şart olan normalliği sağlamamasıdır. Araştırma sonucuna göre, öğrencilerin dindarlık ile kendini gerçekleştirme duygusal kararlılık, nevrotik eğilim, psikotik belirti, aile ilişkileri, sosyal normlar, antisosyal eğilimler, kişisel uyum ve genel uyum arasında anlamlı bir ilişki tespit edilememiştir. Fakat dindarlık ile sosyal uyum arasında pozitif yönde ve anlamlı bir ilişki tespit edilmiştir. Bununla birlikte dindarlığın inanç boyutu ile kişiliğin kişisel sosyal ve genel uyum boyutları arasında pozitif yönde ve anlamlı bir ilişki tespit edilirken; dindarlığın ahlak ve ibadet boyutları ile kişiliğin kişisel, sosyal ve genel uyum boyutları arasında anlamlılık düzeyine ulaşan bir ilişkiye rastlanmamıştır.

At present, when solving problems of hydrodynamics of viscous incompressible and compressible flows in conditions of complex geometry with moving elements, preference is often given to meshless numerical algorithms based on the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH). We have developed our own parallel SPH algorithm that uses graphic processors to solve various problems with very narrow slits, rotating and contacting disks, free surfaces, etc., which are difficult to attack by conventional mesh-based (e. g., finite volume (FV)) methods. To check the algorithm, we solved the problems: (i) on the steady-state temperature distribution inside the cylinder head of a piston engine; (ii) on the torque of a gear box with rotating gearwheels partially immersed in engine oil; and (iii) on the steady-state gas velocity field during purging of the piston engine cylinder with air.

False Signaling and Personal Moral Failings: Two distinct pathways to hypocrisy with unequal moral weight
Authors: Jordan Jillian , Sommers Roseanna
Published: December 2020

Moral engagement is a key feature of human nature: we hold moral values, condemn those who violate those values, and attempt to adhere to them ourselves. Yet moral engagement can make us appear hypocritical if we fail to behave morally. When does moral engagement risk triggering ascriptions of hypocrisy? And when do hypocrites—moreso than ordinary wrongdoers—earn particular moral outrage? Across four studies (total n = 1,787), we provide evidence of two distinct pathways to hypocrisy: (1) violating a moral value that you have signaled to others that you adhere to (i.e., engaging in false signaling) and (2) violating a moral value that you genuinely hold (i.e., committing a personal moral failing). Furthermore, we show that these pathways have unequal moral weight, such that false signaling is evaluated more negatively. In Study 1, we confirm that paradigmatic hypocrites activate judgments associated with both pathways. In Studies 2-3, we investigate case studies designed to activate one pathway but not the other. We find evidence that both pathways are sufficient to trigger ascriptions of hypocrisy, but false signalers are more likely to be penalized for their hypocrisy (and thus deemed less moral than non-hypocritical transgressors). Finally, Study 4 demonstrates that a target who violates a stated value, but avoids activating either pathway, is judged as neither hypocritical nor immoral—confirming that at least one pathway is necessary for hypocrisy. Together, these findings suggest that false signaling and personal moral failings constitute two distinct pathways to hypocrisy with unequal moral weight.
Knowledge regarding endotracheal suctioning among Nurses of a teaching hospital of Kaski District
Authors: Lamichhane Anju , Koirala Dipti , Thapa Bindu , Silwal Muna
Published: December 2020

Introduction: Endotracheal suctioning (ETS) is an essential procedure that involves removal of accumulated lung secretions from tracheobronchial tree through an artificial airway. It is crucial that this procedure is performed with professional competence based on updated scientific evidence and guidelines that guarantee efficiency and safety of the patient to prevent the common infection like ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP).

Objectives: To identify the level of knowledge regarding ETS among nurses and to measure the association between knowledge level and selected demographic variables.

Methods: Descriptive cross-sectional research design was adopted for this study which was conducted in Gandaki Medical College Teaching Hospital and Research Centre of Kaski, Nepal. The study population were all the nurses working in in-patient department of the hospital. Sample size was calculated through standard formula and probability simple random sampling technique was used to select 92 nurses. Semi- structured self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data. Collected data was entered, coded and edited into Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 16. Data was analyzed by employing both descriptive and inferential statistical methods.

Result: Only 4.3% of the total respondents had good knowledge on ETS whereas 52.2% had fair knowledge and 43.5% had poor knowledge. There was significant association between respondent’s level of knowledge on ETS and ethnicity (p=0.049) and professional qualification (p=0.028).

Conclusion: Nearly half of the nurses had poor knowledge on ETS. Therefore, it is necessary to upgrade nurse’s knowledge on ETS through inservice education programs.

Published: December 2020

Introduction: Maxilla and Mandible have an alveolar process that bears socket for root of teeth. When the teeth fall or gets extracted there is resorption of alveolar process. The teeth alignment determines the shape of alveolar process. The objectives of the study was to assess the distribution pattern of anatomical shape of arch projected by alveolar process in Maxilla and Mandible and to compare the anatomy of arch amongst the population of Aryan and Mongoloid communities.

Methodology: A total number of 856 people with intact anatomy of alveolar arch were included in the study. Anatomy of alveolar arches were assessed and noted for all. The brass wire was contoured according the shape of alveolar arch of patients and the shape was observed and noted down.

Result: The study result showed there was significant difference in frequency distribution of ‘U’, ’V’ and ‘Ovoid’ shape alveolar arch form in maxilla and mandible. There was significant difference in distribution of ‘U’ and ‘V’ shape alveolar arch form in maxilla and ‘U’, ‘V’ and ‘Ovoid’ shape arch form in mandible between mongoloid and Aryan communities.

Conclusion: ‘U’shape alveolar arch was seen more frequently in mandible where as “V” shape and ‘Ovoid’ shape arch in maxilla. ‘U’ shape alveolar arch was more frequently seen in Mongoloid communities and ‘V’ shape was more frequently seen in Aryan communities. There was no significant difference in comparison of frequency percentage of various types of arch form between the Male and Female.

Published: December 2020

Introduction: The comprehensive goal in forensic anthropology is the identification of skeletal remains for which researchers are constantly working to produce methods that are as accurate as possible. Because of distinct sexual dimorphism, bones of the pelvis and skull are preferred; however, when these bones are unavailable other bones like sternum have to be used as it holds a great deal of sexual dimorphism.

Objective: To evaluate sexual dimorphism in the metric parameters of the sternum through MDCT images amongst Nepalese adults.

Materials and Methods: Sternal dimensions of 105 study participants (62 male and 43 female) were measured using Computed Tomography (CT) images from Radiology Department of Dhulikhel Hospital. An independent t test was performed to assess the strength of association between different variables and genders. Differences were considered significant at P < 0.05. ROC curve analysis was done to determine the discriminating power of variables for sex determination.

Result: The different measurements of sternal lengths were significantly greater in male than females(p<0.001) except Sternal Index which was found to be higher in female (p<0.001). Despite this difference in mean, most of the sterna were in overlapping zone. The limiting point of 126 was determined for total sternum which could correctly classify majority of sternum. Using ROC curve the mesosternum and total sternum were found to be most accurate (>95%) in sex determination. Hyrtl’s law could classify 91.9% of the male and Ashley’s rule of 136 could 97.67% of the female.

Conclusion: Hence this study made an effort in sexing the sternum in Nepalese population amongst which mesosternal length and total sterna length were found to be best estimators of sex whereas manubrium length and sternal index were not found to be satisfactory.

Published: December 2020

For many years, airways, lungs and meconium, which is a thick green substance and accumulates in the baby’s intestines during pregnancy, have been assumed to be sterile. However, this assumption has been revised by the development of microbiota analysis, which is used for the identification of microorganisms as a new promising technique; it has been found that various microorganisms exist in the lungs and in the meconium fluid. Meconium Aspiration Syndrome (MAS) as a common neonatal problem can give rise to the development of lung infections in newborns and even cases leading to death are encountered. Various strategies regarding antibiotic therapy have been developed against the risk of infection, but positive outcome could not be obtained for each case. In this study, 16S rRNA gene sequences of bacteria existing in meconium microbiota and infected lung microbiota were subjected to comparative sequence analysis. Our aim was to identify positions of nucleotide patterns between the hypervariable regions of the bacterial 16S rRNA gene sequences that could provide similar functions among bacterial groups. Furthermore, similarity analysis was conducted to identify molecular signatures via phylogenetic framework to understand the etiology of the infections after MAS. Interestingly, Bifidobacteria which are used as probiotics were found to be similar to Actynomyces which are known as opportunistic pathogens. Furthermore, Clostridium leptum was associated with pulmonary inflammation for the first time. This study proposes the usage of microbiota analysis to improve the MAS management in clinical practice.

The thermoacoustic engine can be a device to convert waste heat energy in the engine car become useful energy such as for charging battery in car or Air conditioner of the car. This work can be done by experimentally and numerically. There are some parameters that have an impact on the performance of the engine. They are geometry of the engines, working fluid, and mean pressure. The performance of the engine depends on the efficiency and the heating temperature. In the car, waste heat energy is not high enough. Therefore, we need to utilize the low heating temperature to be converted into useful energy. This study contributes to numerically the effect of mean pressure and loop’s radius of the regenerator on the onset temperature and the efficiency of traveling wave thermoacoustic engines. The application that is used to solve numerical problems is fortran95. There are two codings that are used in fortran95. They are stability limits and efficiency codes. The lowest onset temperature that achieved is 153˚C with efficiency up to 38.1% that can be reached when the mean pressure is 4.0 MPa and the loop's radius is 5 cm. This result indicated that we can use low heating temperatures from waste heat of engine car to turn on electronics equipment inside the car.

The present study features analytical and experimental results of optimizing resistance spot welding performed using a pneumatic force system (PFS). The optimization was performed to join SECC-AF (JIS G 3313) galvanized steel material with SPCC-SD low carbon steel. The SECC-AF is an SPCC-SD (JIS G 3141) sheet plate coated with zinc (Zn) with a thickness of about 2.5 microns. The zinc coating on the metal surface causes its weldability to decrease. This study aims to obtain the highest tensile-shear strength test results from the combination of the specified resistance spot welding parameters. The research method used the Taguchi method using four variables and a combination of experimental levels. The experimental levels are 2-levels for the first parameter and 3-levels for other parameters. The Taguchi optimization experimental results achieved the highest tensile-shear strength at 5049.64 N. It properly worked at 22 squeeze time cycles, 25 kA of welding current, and 0.6-second welding time and 12 holding-time cycles. The S/N ratio analysis found that the welding current had the most significant effect, followed by welding time, squeeze time, and holding time. The delta S/N ratio values were 1.05, 0.67, 0.57 and 0.29, respectively.
Agriculture fleet vehicle routing: A decentralised and dynamic problem
Authors: Lujak Marin , Sklar Elizabeth , Semet Frederic
Published: December 2020

To date, the research on agriculture vehicles in general and Agriculture Mobile Robots (AMRs) in particular has focused on a single vehicle (robot) and its agriculture-specific capabilities. Very little work has explored the coordination of fleets of such vehicles in the daily execution of farming tasks. This is especially the case when considering overall fleet performance, its efficiency and scalability in the context of highly automated agriculture vehicles that perform tasks throughout multiple fields potentially owned by different farmers and/or enterprises. The potential impact of automating AMR fleet coordination on commercial agriculture is immense. Major conglomerates with large and heterogeneous fleets of agriculture vehicles could operate on huge land areas without human operators to effect precision farming. In this paper, we propose the Agriculture Fleet Vehicle Routing Problem (AF-VRP) which, to the best of our knowledge, differs from any other version of the Vehicle Routing Problem studied so far. We focus on the dynamic and decentralised version of this problem applicable in environments involving multiple agriculture machinery and farm owners where concepts of fairness and equity must be considered. Such a problem combines three related problems: the dynamic assignment problem, the dynamic 3-index assignment problem and the capacitated arc routing problem. We review the state-of-the-art and categorise solution approaches as centralised, distributed and decentralised, based on the underlining decision-making context. Finally, we discuss open challenges in applying distributed and decentralised coordination approaches to this problem.

BACKGROUND: With the acceleration of the pace of life and the fierce competition for talents, role Conflicts and pressures caused by work and family will not only affect employees’ performance, but also reduce their job satisfaction and subjective well-being. So, as an important field for individuals, workplace factor also has an important impact on individual subjective well-being. OBJECTIVE: In this paper, we explored the relationship between feedback seeking and subjective well-being and the role of career adaptability and P-E fit in this process. METHODS: In this study, we used a moderated mediation approach to test how employee’s workplace feedback seeking affect their subjective well-being and used a quantitative survey to measure these variables. RESULTS: The results showed that both feedback monitoring and feedback inquiry ultimately improve subjective well-being through positive prediction of career adaptability. In addition, we found the moderation effect of P-E fit, when P-E fit is low, the relationship between feedback seeking and career adaptability becomes stronger. CONCLUSIONS: As the results, feedback seeking has a positive impact on employees’ subjective well-being by increasing their career adaptability. In workplace, employees can actively seek for two kinds of feedback to improve their career adaptability and thus improve their well-being.

Background: With the more widespread use of 18F-radioligand-based amyloid-β (Aβ) PET-CT imaging, we evaluated Aβ binding and the utility of neocortical 18F-Flutemetamol standardized uptake value ratio (SUVR) as a biomarker. Objective: 18F-Flutemetamol SUVR was used to differentiate 1) mild cognitive impairment (MCI) from Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and 2) MCI from other non-AD dementias (OD). Methods: 109 patients consecutively recruited from a University memory clinic underwent clinical evaluation, neuropsychological test, MRI and 18F-Flutemetamol PET-CT. The diagnosis was made by consensus of a panel consisting of 1 neuroradiologist and 2 geriatricians. The final cohort included 13 subjective cognitive decline (SCD), 22 AD, 39 MCI, and 35 OD. Quantitative analysis of 16 region-of-interests made by Cortex ID software (GE Healthcare). Results: The global mean 18F-Flutemetamol SUVR in SCD, MCI, AD, and OD were 0.50 (SD-0.08), 0.53 (SD-0.16), 0.76 (SD-0.10), and 0.56 (SD-0.16), respectively, with SUVR in SCD and MCI and OD being significantly lower than AD. Aβ binding in SCD, MCI, and OD was heterogeneous, being 23%, 38.5%, and 42.9% respectively, as compared to 100% amyloid positivity in AD. Using global SUVR, ROC analysis showed AUC of 0.868 and 0.588 in differentiating MCI from AD and MCI from OD respectively. Conclusion: 18F-Flutemetamol SUVR differentiated MCI from AD with high efficacy (high negative predictive value), but much lower efficacy from OD. The major benefit of the test was to differentiate cognitively impaired patients (either SCD, MCI, or OD) without AD-related-amyloid-pathology from AD in the clinical setting, which was under-emphasized in the current guidelines proposed by Amyloid Imaging Task Force.

Background: Patient dissatisfaction with stroke care is associated with poor self-rated health and unmet care needs. Dementia patients’ satisfaction with stroke care is understudied. Objective: To compare satisfaction with stroke care in patients with and without dementia. Methods: This longitudinal cohort study included 5,932 dementia patients (2007–2017) who suffered a first stroke after dementia diagnosis and 39,457 non-dementia stroke patients (2007–2017). Data were retrieved by linking the Swedish Stroke Register, the Swedish Dementia Register, the Swedish National Patient Register, and the Swedish Prescribed Drug Register. The association between dementia and satisfaction was analyzed with ordinal logistic regression. Results: When dementia patients answered themselves, they reported significantly lower odds of satisfaction with acute stroke care (OR: 0.71; 95% CI: 0.60–0.85), healthcare staff’s attitude (OR: 0.79; 95% CI: 0.66–0.96), communication with doctors (OR: 0.78; 95% CI: 0.66–0.92), stroke information (OR: 0.62; 95% CI: 0.52–0.74); but not regarding inpatient rehabilitation (OR: 0.93; 95% CI: 0.75–1.16), or outpatient rehabilitation (OR: 0.93; 95% CI: 0.73–1.18). When patients answered with caregivers’ help, the association between dementia status and satisfaction remained significant in all items. Subgroup analyses showed that patients with Alzheimer’s disease and mixed dementia reported lower odds of satisfaction with acute care and healthcare staff’s attitude when they answered themselves. Conclusion: Patients with dementia reported lower satisfaction with stroke care, revealing unfulfilled care needs among dementia patients, which are possibly due to different (or less) care, or because dementia patients require adaptations to standard care.
