Published: December 2019

Restorasi Daerah Aliran Sungai Citarum melalui Program Harum Citarum, yang dalam pelaksanaannya melibatkan peran militer yang dominan, membutuhkan adanya partisipasi masyarakat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengukur tingkat partisipasi masyarakat, mengukur tingkat modal sosial, dan mengukur tingkat persepsi masyarakat tentang keterlibatan militer dalam pelaksanaan Program Citarum Harum, serta untuk melihat hubungan antara ketiganya. Penelitian ini menggunakan metoda survey dengan kuesioner sebagai instrumen pengumpulan datanya. Analisis data menggunakan teknik analisis korelasional deskriptif. Hasilnya menyimpulkan, bahwa tingkat partisipasi masyarakat tergolong rendah, tingkat modal sosial dalam tingkat sedang, sementara persepsi masyarakat tentang keterlibatan militer secara mengejutkan sangat baik. Analisis juga menunjukkan hubungan positif tak terduga antara partisipasi masyarakat dengan modal sosial dan antara modal social dengan persepsi masyarakat tentang keterlibatan militer dalam Program Citarum Harum. Namun tidak diperoleh hubungan antara partisipasi dengan persepsi masyarakat tentang keterlibatan militer. Oleh karena itu, upaya meningkatkan partisipasi masyarakat dalam Program Citarum Harum perlu dilakukan mulai dari tahap dasar, yaitu tahap pemberian informasi yang dapat menjadi fondasi kuat dalam meningkatkan partisipasi ditahap selanjutnya dengan mengoptimalkan modal sosial masyarakat dalam implementasi program Citarum Harum. Penelitian selanjutnya merekomendasikan untuk menggali lebih dalam modal sosial masyarakat yang tinggal di sepanjang Sungai Citarum sebagai upaya meningkatkan partisipasi masyarakat.

Published: December 2019

Batı Afrika okyanus ve çöl ile kuşatılmış, asırlar boyunca sözlü geleneğin hâkim olduğu izole bir coğrafyadır. İslâm’ın yayılmasından itibaren savaşlarla ve fetihlerle değil çöl aşırı ticaret yoluyla İslâm kültürü ve Arap dili ile tanışmıştır. Arap dili ve İslâm bölgede şehirden kırsala doğru yayılmış, eğitimli ve kültürlü insanların dili olmuştur. Bu sayede küçük gruplar bir arada yaşamayı öğrenmiş ve yönetimi ve kuralları olan devletler kurmaya başlamıştır. Bu durum asırlar boyu sürmüş, bölgede büyük İslâm devletleri kurulmuş, halkı veya yöneticileri Müslüman olan devletler ortaya çıkmış ve sömürgeciler 19. yüzyılda bölgeyi bölene kadar devam etmiştir. Bu çalışmada Arap dilinin bölgeye girişinden sömürgecilerin gelmesine kadar geçen süre boyunca Arap dilinin Batı Afrika’nın siyasî birliğine, diline ve edebiyatına olan katkıları ele alınmıştır. Ayrıca bu katkıların ortaya çıkmasında rol oynayan faktörler ortaya konmuştur. Bu çalışmanın amacı baskın kültüre ait dilin yayıldığı diğer toplumlar üzerindeki etkilerini ortaya koymaktır. Bu amaçla Arap dilinin Batı Afrika kültürü üzerinde etkileri ele alınmıştır.

Authors: SAVOV Viktor , MİHAİLOVA Julia , GRİGOROV Rosen
Published: December 2019

In the
near past, industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L. subsp. sativa) found main
application in the production of ropes and fabrics. At the present moment, this
crop finds increasingly big application for pharmaceutical purposes and in the
cosmetics industry. As a result of which not only hurds, but whole stalks
remain as waste from this production. On the other hand, MDF, which on a world
scale are the second production of wood-based boards in terms of volume after
that of veneer plywood, allow at least partial inclusion of non-woody
lignocellulosic raw materials in their composition. That is why, in this paper,
an investigation about the possibility for inclusion of mass of hemp stalks in
the MDF composition is presented.

Under
laboratory conditions, previously washed hemp stalks were defibred. The
defibration was performed in a laboratory crusher defibrator for 2 min. Under
laboratory conditions, MDF with participation of mass of hemp stalks form 0% to
100% in the MDF composition were produced. The content of mass of hemp stalks
was increased by a step of 10%. The boards were produced at a temperature of
hot pressing of 185 °C, with 10% participation of urea-formaldehyde resin (UFR)
and have a density of 850 kg/m3.

The
effect of the content of mass of hemp stalks on the physicomechanical
indicators of MDF was established. Regression equations for this effect on the
individual physicomechanical indicators were also derived. It has been
established in case of increase of what share in the composition of boards,
most significant deterioration of the MDF indicators is observed. On this
basis, a recommendation for the maximum justified content of mass of hemp
stalks in the MDF composition was derived.

Oil Prices and Government Bond Risk Premiums
Authors: Alexandre Hervé , de Benoist Antonin
Published: December 2019

This article analyses the impact of oil prices on bond risk premiums
issued by emerging economies. No empirical study has yet focused on the effects
of oil prices on government bond risk premiums. We develop a model of credit
spread with data from the EMBIG index of 17 countries, from 1998 to 2008. An
analysis in time series is carried out on each country and a panel analysis used to
determine the global impact of oil prices on investors’ risk perceptions. We
suggest a new estimator for oil prices to take into account the effect of the price
variance, and show that oil prices influence the risk premiums of sovereign bonds
along with the price volatility that increases the accuracy of the model.

Published: December 2019

This study attempts to model and forecast the volatility of light, sweet,
crude oil futures trading at the NYMEX during 1998–2009, using various models
from the ARCH family. The results reveal that the GJR-GARCH (1,2) model is
best suited to forecast purposes. The fitted models also suggest the presence of
asymmetric effects in the data. The study also reveals that trading volume and open
interest do not reduce the persistence of volatility for these oil futures.
Evolving Ownership and the Capital Structure Regime in Japan
Authors: Wali Ullah Wali Ullah , Nayyar Jehan Shahzadah
Published: December 2019

This study is an attempt to investigate the implications of changes in ownership structure and control transfer in the Japanese corporate market—a trend attributed mainly to the government’s increasing liberalization policies during the 1990s. Our results show that firms characterized by more concentrated ownership are likely to prefer less debt as ownership concentration reduces the extent of agency costs between managers and shareholders and facilitates equity issues. The main bank system enables corporations to obtain funds easily through the debt market. Additionally, unwinding cross-shareholding between banks and corporations provides impetus for investment in relatively risky projects. The ownership pattern of private and foreign individuals is consistently associated with a shift from bank debt to equity financing. Moreover, managerial ownership reduces the risk of wasting free cash flows. Managers make fewer decisions that may have a negative effect on the firm’s value because the part of costs that they will absorb as shareholders increases as their share of capital rises. The results suggest that government ownership is associated with more pressure on management and enforces the efficient use of cash flows. Changes in ultimate ownership will likely lead to major asset and capital restructuring in the coming years.

Authors: Tahir Anam , Sajjad Sumaira
Published: December 2019

Training helps meet specific skill deficits in employees’ performance. Successful organizations and managers realize the importance of human resources; trained human resources are key to maintaining a competitive advantage in today’s constantly changing global environment. An efficiently implemented training program leads to better employee performance. This study aims to test for important training-related variables that significantly affect the performance of bank employees in urban Lahore. Using earlier studies on training and job performance, we identify key variables and analyze them through a questionnaire-based survey carried out among 75 local consumer bank employees at various managerial levels. It is evident from our findings that a proper needs assessment, the extent of a training program’s effectiveness, investment by the host organization, and the provision of training programs all significantly affect employees’ job performance. This study provides managers with an insight into important aspects of designing training programs to ensure higher employee productivity.
A Note on the Information Content of Corporate Dividend Policy
Authors: Khanum Ayesha
Published: December 2019

This note discusses the significance of the information content of dividends, which is reflected through the market price reactions to a firm’s dividend decisions. Informational asymmetries are the main reason for signaling whereby firm managers are likely to have better information than external participants, implying that their financial decisions will tend to convey the firm’s future prospects to the market. An efficient signaling equilibrium is that optimal combination of signaling costs and agency costs that minimizes any dissipative costs. An important consideration is the preference of the investor for dividend income versus capital gains due to the higher tax differential in the case of dividends.
The Future of Languages and A Cultural Immersion
Authors: Hugo James , Ambrose Taylor
Published: December 2019

There are some studies conducted showing that children, from birth until they reach seven, are in the stage that they could acquire language easier. The ability of an individual to acquire languages will slowly decrease as they surpass puberty. How can adults learn language effectively and faster? We are now living in am era of globalization, every country and culture has become connected whether it is in business, education and other fields. There is a need to be knowledgeable, not in just our local tongue, but also in other languages. It has be come a necessity to be able to be a part of the community, get better career opportunities, and therefore succeed. There are different methods on how we can improve our skills of acquiring languages. Different aides like CDs, DVDs, books, dictionaries and magazines can be bought easily in bookstores. But experts have agreed that the most important method is by submerging ourselves of the language's culture. There are numerous experts who agree that the best way and most efficient method of teaching language would be what is called as "language immersion." Reading grammar and vocabulary books are indeed important in order to increase language knowledge. But it is practice and exposure that you would find most helpful when learning a new language. For example, if you would go abroad and live there, then it would be inevitable that you would pick up the language. You are exposed to different aspects of culture that uses the language, like television, movies, radio, restaurants, museums, transportation and other public places.

Authors: Kalz Marco , van Bruggen Jan , Rusman Ellen , Giesbers Bas , Koper Rob
Published: December 2019

Positioning in learning networks is a process that assists learners in finding a starting point and an efficient route through the network that will foster competence building. In the past we have explored computational approaches to positioning based on the contents of the learning network and the behaviour of those participating in it, more or less ignoring different efforts to stimulate positioning and competence development from a top-down perspective. In this paper we introduce a research agenda for positioning in learning networks, discuss several cases and give an outlook on the development of a positioning service for learning networks.

The Essential Role of Integrating Technology Content and Skills into University Principal Preparation Programs
Authors: Moody Robert , Dale Kathy , Slattery Mike , Wieland Regi
Published: December 2019

"Just-in-time" delivery of goods and services was the call to action phrase of the 1990's, but in the 21st Century, just-in-time is too late. University leaders in principal preparation programs must not only respond to the call of the field, but also anticipate the needs even before school administrators recognize the content and skills necessary with which to lead. As building principals become increasingly accountable for integrating technology into instruction and infrastructure, principal preparation programs are more accountable to prepare principals to succeed in their leadership roles, acknowledge the impact of principals on student achievement and teacher performance, and accept our responsibility to reinvent preparation programs instead of just reforming them.

Genetic studies of yield and quality traits in aromatic rice genotypes through Hayman's approach
Authors: Bano Dilruba A , Singh S P
Published: December 2019

Hayman's approach analysis was employed to estimate genetic components of variation in aromatic rice genotypes for yield and quality traits by following 8 x 8 one way diallel mating design. Vr-Wr graphs were plotted for the traits viz., days to 50 % flowering, days to maturity, plant height at maturity, main panicle length, effective tillers per plants, 100 grain weight and yield per plant, that exhibited significant deviation of regression coefficient 'b' from zero, irrespective of significance of 't2' or deviation of 'b' from unity. Vr-Wr graph revealed over dominance for the traits viz., plant height, main panicle length, effective tillers per plant and yield per plant. Traits like days to 50 % flowering, days to maturity and 100 grain weight revealed partial dominance. Graphical and component analysis revealed over dominance type of intra allelic interaction for most of the yield and yield contributing traits. However, both additive and dominance types of genetic effects were observed for most of yield and quality traits.

The aim of backcross breeding is the introgression of a certain trait of interest in a popular variety from a suitable donor variety. Morphological characterization of backcross derived line is a crucial step in backcross breeding programme. Present investigation was framed for the morphological characterization of advance backcross population, developed to introgress semi-dwarf and early maturing traits of Rajendra Sweta and BPT5204 into the background of tall, late maturing scented Katarni rice. The results indicated a significant decrease in the plant height and days of 50 % flowering in the backcross derived lines with respect to Katarni rice. Higher values of phenotypic coefficient of variation (PCV) than the genotypic coefficient of variation (GCV) for all character indicated environmental influence in the development of all characters. High heritability with high genetic advance as percent of mean was observed for 1000 grain weight and plant height. Highly significant and positive correlation with yield per plant was exhibited by traits like 1000 grain weight and leaf aroma. Result of path coefficient analysis indicated direct positive effect of characters like L/B ratio, kernel length and 1000 grain weight on grain yield per plant.

The role of military psychologists in a modern army is very important. It has especial significance under conditions of combat activity of troops. In such circumstances a psychologist must apply different professional skills including pedagogical or those directly related to pedagogy. Consequently, training of military psychologists should include a pedagogical component. The effective example of introduction of this component is immersion of military psychologists into pedagogical situations. Such immersion may be implemented by using role-playing games in the form of giving mini-lectures. The research goal is to ensure enhancement of professional skills of future military psychologists through their immersion into a pedagogical situation. Every future military psychologist (cadet) has an opportunity to play a role of a lecturer, an attendee and a person who analyzes a lecture. All roles have requirements and are obligatory for taking. Participants of the role-playing game do self-assessment of their professional skills after finishing it. They use a special questionnaire. Analysis of the answers is basic for assessment both effectiveness of immersion and enhancement of maturity of more than 20 professional skills. Verification of the obtained results was achieved by using methods of mathematical statistics. The results of the investigation are important for enhancement of the training program which should be supplemented with situations of obligatory immersion of military psychologists into pedagogical situations. The proposed method is useful for teaching psychologists of different specialisms.

Published: December 2019

In this paper, we have proposed a clustering technique which optimizes the total compactness and separation (measured using the Silhouette index) of the clusters. The proposed algorithm uses an Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) based optimization method as the underlying optimization criterion. We used similarity based prototypes as cluster centers. The proposed clustering technique is able to suitably handle mixed and incomplete data types in such a way that the original characteristics of the data are preserved. Assignment of points to different clusters is done based on a dissimilarity function rather than the Euclidean distance. Results on real-life data sets show that the proposed technique is well-suited to detect true partitioning from data sets. Results are compared with those obtained by four existing clustering techniques, one genetic algorithm based clustering technique (AGKA), the k-Prototypes (KP) algorithm, well-known based K-means clustering technique for similarity functions (KMSF) and a newly developed algorithm with dissimilarity based clustering technique (AD2011).

Matched filtering is broadly used in various radar applications and communication fields whose output indicates some range sidelobes which may mask some stronger targets. This problem can be overcome by using mismatched filter after the matched filter which increases the performance that is in terms of peak sidelobe ratio. The proposed algorithm is suitable to obtain superior performance in range resolution and detection range simultaneously. The characteristics of chaotic codes such as auto-correlation and cross-correlation are same as random codes. So the input is considered as binary and ternary chaotic sequence which is undergone matched filtering process which is then undergo mismatched filter for further reduction in the sidelobe levels. The design of mismatched filter is adapted with cuckoo search algorithm that uses Lévy distribution. It is observed that the performance of the ternary sequence is significantly improved at the output and this method is extended to various length of ternary sequences.

The abbreviation of MANET stands for Mobile Ad hoc NETwork. Nodes in the network can organized and configured by themselves without any kind of permanent infrastructures. All of these extreme features make MANET to be used widely in this contemporary time. In MANET nodes can communicate to each other neither the need of any kind of pre-existing infrastructure like base stations and routers nor any centralized control. Each node be involved in the network can perform both as host along with router. Wireless nodes have the capability of moving freely all over the network at any time. Thus the network topology may reconstruct very quickly over time. This makes the network unreliable and a lot of challenges to the routing of the packets. Routing protocols are used to communicate wireless nodes each other. An efficient protocol will make MANETs reliable. There are three distinct types of MANET routing protocols namely as proactive, reactive routing along with hybrid routing protocols. In these experimentations we have examined all of these categories of routing protocols. We have evaluated Ad-hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV) and Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) as reactive, Optimized Link State Routing (OLSR) as proactive, and Geographic Routing Protocol (GRP) as hybrid routing protocols. We have used HTTP traffic over the network designed. OPNET Modeler simulation tool is used to model and simulate the result. In design of the mobility model we have chosen the random waypoint. We have examined delay, network load and throughput of the network varying number of nodes. All of these performance -metrics have considered under light browsing. The comprehensive results show that OLSR has the superior performance for different node density.

The chairless chair is a kind of ergonomical product which is actually a chair that is based on exoskeleton support. The primary work behavior of workers who have been listed as prolonged occupational standing reported that the worst health outcomes. A small study concluded that there stands a higher chance of significant and prolonged lower limb muscle fatigue while standing five hours or more than that a day. This might increase the risk for long-term back pain and musculoskeletal disorders. In mean time, the researchers found that people who primarily stand at work are several percentages more likely to develop heart disease than “predominantly sitting populations”. The traditional chair is inconvenient to carry to different working locations due to its large size, and its heavy weight (5 to 7 kg approximately) and rigid structure and thus, they are inappropriate for workplaces where enough space is not available. The ultimate aim of this project is to develop a lower body cost efficient external skeletal structure that supports sitting, walking and partial standing posture. Flexible wearable chair may have gross weight of 3 kg as it utilizes lightweight members. It is to be fabricated in such a way that the workers can be cozy during their tasks and can alter their sitting postures at any angles between ninety degree to hundred and sixty degree. A person can utilize this exoskeleton like an extra pair of legs to give him or herself as support to sit without a chair or to adopt a more comfortable position for different tasks. Workers can walk about as typical, but if they want to sit or lean, adjust and fix the supporting structure in the required position. Then the weight is supported on the ground by means of their adjustable structures. It aids to save space in the working place as the workers wear it on their legs. It reduces bad health impacts that occurs due to excessive standing.

This paper presents a novel design methodology to improve the power added efficiency (PAE) for a CMOS power amplifier (PA), qualifying it for low voltage mobile wireless communications such as the NB-IoT. The capacitive harmonic termination (CHT) integrated at the output of the main stage PA to minimise the effect of the second harmonic distortion in order to improve the PAE. The CHT PA able to deliver a PAE of 40% at drain voltage of 3.3 V from 1.9 GHz - 2.1 GHz. The corresponding power gain is 14 dB for 200 MHz bandwidth. The achieved third-order intercept point (OIP3) is 33 dBm, which serves as a proof that the CHT technique has a minimal trade-off to the linearity performance of the PA.

In this paper, a balanced k-partitioned fuzzy graph is introduced from the definition of k-partitioned fuzzy graph. In recent days, partitioning graph has widely applied in the field of clustering, circuit design and in all networks. Extending the concept of k partitioned fuzzy graph, we have proposed a new partitioning of a fuzzy graph which is balanced using a density formula for k-partitioned fuzzy graph. Also studied how it differs from completely balanced k-partitioned fuzzy graph. Star density of k-partitioned fuzzy graph is defined and star balanced k-partitioned fuzzy graph is introduced using the definition. With an example, we explain the functioning of the concepts and related theorems are worked in this paper.

Objective:   Paraspinal schwannomas arise from the dorsal nerve root. Symptoms of schwannomas may depend on their locations and sizes. This case was presented by a female patient with a dorsalgia for 10 years. She had not any specific symptoms but pain and a thick spot on the neck (cervical area). Paraspinal schwannomas involve the dorsal nerve roots, affecting people in the fourth and fifth decades of life. Paraspinal schwannomas are frequently asymptomatic and diagnosed incidentally on imaging of the spine. Total excision is mostly possible and the recurrence rate is low.
Revisión Teórica de Características Físicas y de la Huella de Carbono de la Madera en Aplicaciones Estructurales
Authors: Guerrero Pedro , Sánchez José
Published: December 2019

El propósito de esta investigación es presentar una revisión teórica que responda a las preguntas: ¿La construcción de edificaciones con productos forestales genera una huella de carbono negativa?, y ¿Ofrecen los productos forestales iguales o mejores características que los materiales convencionales para construcción, en lo que respecta a la sostenibilidad, gasto de energía, toxicidad al medio ambiente y resistencia sísmica? Para ello, se aplicó una revisión de estudios o investigaciones existentes, los cuales proponen que la madera es una excelente opción en aplicaciones estructurales, paneles, piso y en diseño de interiores en todo tipo de inmuebles; debido a su resistencia, durabilidad, confort térmico, requerimientos de mantenimiento y a los beneficios que le brinda al medio ambiente. La metodología que se utilizó se fundamenta en un análisis cualitativo aplicado mediante una revisión bibliográfica. Como resultado se presenta un marco conceptual en el que se destaca la importancia de la madera en aplicaciones estructurales. Se incluye una comparación entre la madera y otros materiales de construcción considerados convencionales, en lo que respecta a tenacidad al fuego, resistencia sísmica, y huella de carbono. Finalmente se exponen las características del bambú en aplicaciones estructurales.
Yachay Transformación socio-territorial de un área rural, con base en el desarrollo de tipo I+D
Authors: Cárdenas Vanesa
Published: December 2019

Este artículo contextualiza Yachay como la iniciativa ecuatoriana para la aplicación del modelo I+D; misma que resulta del esfuerzo gubernamental por diversificar la producción del país, apostando a la comercialización de ciencia, tecnología e innovación, a través de una política científico productiva. Sin embargo, las condiciones de emplazamiento de la misma, y las actividades que pretende desarrollar, conllevarían a lo que, D. Massey, P. Quintas, y D. Wield señalan como, la incubación de un enclave científico-tecnológico de élite (parque tecnológico), al implicar una clara diferenciación de trabajo y por ende, de estilos de vida. A continuación, se presenta el contexto de la propuesta Yachay, seguido del análisis de las implicancias que, como parque tecnológico, formarán parte del proceso de transformación sobre su entorno inmediato; sopesando que se desarrollará en un área rural, cuya producción es principalmente agrícola. Yachay se impone en dicho territorio, como parte del proceso de planificación en ciencia y tecnología, desde el gobierno, teniendo como estrategia la producción científica en biotecnología, nanotecnología, petroquímica, energías renovables y las tecnologías de la información y de la comunicación.
