Religion at the Margins: Resistance to Secular Humanitarianism at the Rohingya Refugee Camps in Bangladesh
Authors: Mim Nusrat Jahan
Published: August 2020

This paper joins the growing body of work on Human Rights and Religion and examines the impacts of religious practices in protecting the socioeconomic and cultural rights of Rohingya Refugees in Bangladesh. Based on an empirical study at eight different camps in Kutupalong, Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh, this article documents how the refugees, through different Islamic religious activities and practices, protect their cultural identities, negotiate with the local governing agents, and maintain solidarity with the host communities in their camp lives. This article also describes how, in these camps, many secular humanitarian projects often get challenged, resisted, or rejected by the refugees since those fail to address their networked relations with religion. Drawing from a rich body of literature in forced migrations, socioeconomic human rights, and religious studies in the Global South, this article investigates how religion and religious activities cushion the refugees from different forms of marginalization that are often engendered by secular development agencies. This article further offers several insights for practitioners and policymakers to ensure socioeconomic and cultural integration in human rights activities in refugee camps in the Global South.

Published: August 2020

The current model of resource management mainly contributes to mass short-term consumption, which creates an unstable and extremely critical situation on the planet. Going beyond the traditional industrial model of Take-Make-Waste, the circular economy aims to reduce waste (and therefore minimize costs) and to redefine sustainable development. This entails a gradual separation of economic activity from the consumption of scarce resources and the removal of waste from the system. In order to foreground the principles of a circular economy in Ukraine, this study analyzes its benefits based on the relevant experience of the EU. The paper also presents the results of research and content analysis on the situation of waste management in Ukraine and compares the trends using key indicators. The core of the paper is developing a conceptual model of making and coordinating management decisions on the implementation of business projects in the context of a circular economy in Ukraine. A multifactor model (the Farrar–Glauber method was further developed) has been built by identification of the main factors, i.e., the volume of generated waste from economic activity per unit of GDP at constant prices, emissions of pollutants, and capital investments for the protection of the environment. Factor coefficients indicate how many units will change the resultant trait Y, measured in thousand tonnes, if one of them changes by 1 (each in units of measure). It means that if the volume of waste generated from economic activity per unit of GDP at constant 2011 purchasing power parity (PPP) prices decreases by 1 kg/$1000, waste management of I–IV classes will be reduced by 952,737 thousand tonnes. The approbated model can be used to analyze the situation with recycling in the EU countries, considering the amount of capital investment in environmental protection.

Monitoring the dynamic responses of bridge structures has received considerable attention. It is important to synchronously measure both the quasi-static and dynamic displacements of bridge structures. However, the traditional accelerometer method cannot capture the quasi-static displacement component, although it can detect the dynamic displacement component. To this end, a novel composite instrument of a smartstation was proposed to monitor vibration displacements of footbridges. Full-scale experiments were conducted on a footbridge to validate the feasibility of the composite instrument-based monitoring method. A Chebyshev filter and wavelet algorithms were developed to process the composite instrument measurements. It was concluded that the measurement noise of the composite instrument was mainly distributed in a frequency range of 0–0.1 Hz. In two case studies with displacement peaks of 5.7–10.0 mm and 1.3– 2.5 mm, the composite instrument accurately identified the quasi-static and dynamic displacements. The composite instrument will be a potential tool for monitoring structural dynamics because of its enhanced overall performance.

Published: August 2020

Unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) have been proven cost- and time-effective remote-sensing platforms for precision agriculture applications. This study presents a method for automatic delineation of field areas and boundaries that uses UAS multispectral orthomosaics acquired over 7 vegetated fields having a variety of crops in Prince Edward Island (PEI). This information is needed by crop insurance agencies and growers for an accurate determination of crop insurance premiums. The field areas and boundaries were delineated by applying both a pixel-based and an object-based supervised random forest (RF) classifier applied to reflectance and vegetation index images, followed by a vectorization pipeline. Both methodologies performed exceptionally well, resulting in a mean area goodness of fit (AGoF) for the field areas greater than 98% and a mean boundary mean positional error (BMPE) lower than 0.8 m for the seven surveyed fields.
CIST: An Improved ISAR Imaging Method Using Convolution Neural Network
Authors: Wei Shunjun , Liang Jiadian , Wang Mou , Zeng Xiangfeng , Shi Jun , Zhang Xiaoling
Published: August 2020

Compressive sensing (CS) has been widely utilized in inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) imaging, since ISAR measured data are generally non-completed in cross-range direction, and CS-based imaging methods can obtain high-quality imaging results using under-sampled data. However, the traditional CS-based methods need to pre-define parameters and sparse transforms, which are tough to be hand-crafted. Besides, these methods usually require heavy computational cost with large matrices operation. In this paper, inspired by the adaptive parameter learning and rapidly reconstruction of convolution neural network (CNN), a novel imaging method, called convolution iterative shrinkage-thresholding (CIST) network, is proposed for ISAR efficient sparse imaging. CIST is capable of learning optimal parameters and sparse transforms throughout the CNN training process, instead of being manually defined. Specifically, CIST replaces the linear sparse transform with non-linear convolution operations. This new transform and essential parameters are learnable end-to-end across the iterations, which increases the flexibility and robustness of CIST. When compared with the traditional state-of-the-art CS imaging methods, both simulation and experimental results demonstrate that the proposed CIST-based ISAR imaging method can obtain imaging results of high quality, while maintaining high computational efficiency. CIST-based ISAR imaging is tens of times faster than other methods.
WiGId: Indoor Group Identification with CSI-Based Random Forest

Published: August 2020

Human identity recognition has a wide range of application scenarios and a large number of application requirements. In recent years, the technology of collecting human biometrics through sensors for identification has become mature, but this kind of method needs additional equipment as assistance, which cannot be well applied to some scenarios. Using Wi-Fi for identity recognition has many advantages, such as no additional equipment as assistance, not affected by temperature, humidity, weather, light, and so on, so it has become a hot topic of research. The methods of individual identity recognition have been more mature; for example, gait information can be extracted as features. However, it is difficult to identify small-scale (2–5) group personnel at one time, and the tasks of fingerprint storage and classification are complex. In order to solve this problem, this paper proposed a method of using the random forest as a fingerprint database classifier. The method is divided into two stages: the offline stage trains the random forest classifier through the collected training data set. In the online phase, the real-time data collected are input into the classifier to get the results. When extracting channel state information (CSI) features, multiple people are regarded as a whole to reduce the difficulty of feature selection. The use of random forest classifier in classification can give full play to the advantages of random forest, which can deal with a large number of multi-dimensional data and is easy to generalize. Experiments showed that WiGId has good recognition performance in both LOS (line of sight) and N LOS (None line of sight) environments.
Gown Goes to Town: Negotiating Mutually Beneficial Relationships between College Students, City Planners, and a Historically Marginalized African-American Neighborhood
Authors: Jackson April , Holmes Tisha , McCreary Tyler
Published: August 2020

University–community partnerships have long sought to develop interventions to empower historically marginalized community members. However, there is limited critical attention to tensions faced when community engaged courses support urban planning initiatives in communities of color. This article explores how three Florida State University planning classes sought to engage the predominantly African-American Griffin Heights community in Tallahassee, Florida. Historically, African-American communities have been marginalized from the planning process, undermining community trust and constraining city planning capacity to effectively engage and plan with African-American community members. In this context, there are opportunities for planning departments with relationships in the African-American community to facilitate more extensive community engagement and urban design processes that interface with broader city planning programs. However, mediating relationships between the community and the city within the context of applied planning classes presents unique challenges. Although city planners have increasingly adopted the language of community engagement, many processes remain inflexible, bureaucratic, and under resourced. Reliance on inexperienced students to step in as community bridges may also limit the effectiveness of community engagement. Thus, while community engaged courses create opportunities to facilitate community empowerment, they also at times risk perpetuating the disenfranchisement of African-American community members in city planning processes.
Ambivalence of Professional Socialization in Social and Educational Professions

Published: August 2020

The factors that promote successful professional socialization have become a primary focus of study through the expansion of higher education. The structural changes in the labor market of post-socialist countries such as Hungary over the last three decades have presented a challenge to the training areas of social and educational professions. In Hungary, these professions are not very attractive, the degrees have a low profitability, and the working people already face great challenges when looking for a job. Our research question is whether the traditionally theoretical character of higher education is able to keep up with the dynamic changes in the reality of the labor market. By interviewing 20 professionals about their professional experience and career plans, we tried to answer the questions about the low attractiveness and low retention rate of these professions. We compared the careers of bachelor’s graduates with degrees in social work, youth work, and education. The qualitative analysis showed that professionals whose training included more field exercises and supervision were more successful. They had increased their professional and social capital, and these helped them to integrate into the labor market.

Published: August 2020

Effect of conservation tillage on crop performance and soil properties has been studied extensively under different agro-climatic situations. However, the impact of reversal from conservation tillage to conventional tillage on crop growth and soil nutrient release is rarely addressed. Thus, this study was conducted by converting half of the eight years old conservation tillage experiment to the conventional one with a similar level of residue return to compare the effect on soil nutrient availability and nutrient uptake in soybean crops in the Vertisols of Central India. The conservation tillage treatments included no-tillage (NT) and reduced tillage (RT) with 100% NPK (T1), 100% NPK + farmyard manure (FYM) at 1.0 Mg-carbon (C)/ha (T2), and 100% NPK + FYM at 2.0 Mg-C/ha (T3). After eight years of the experiment, the RT and NT treatments were subjected to conventional tillage, and thus the tillage treatments were RT-CT, RT, NT, and NT-CT. After tillage reversal for three growing seasons, soybean yield and nutrient uptake (N, P, K) got significantly influenced by the tillage and nutrient management. Averaged across nutrient treatments, NT showed highest soil organic carbon (SOC) content (8.4 g/kg) in the surface 0–5 cm layer. However, at 5–15 cm depth, the SOC was greater in the RT-CT treatment by 14% over RT and by 5% in the NT-CT treatment over NT. The soil nutrient availability (N and P) was not significantly (p > 0.05) affected by the interaction effect of tillage and nutrient on the surface soil layer (0–5 cm). Interaction effect of tillage and nutrient was significant on available P content at 5–15 cm soil depth. In contrast to N, soil available P relatively increased with reversal of tillage in both NT and RT. Tillage reversal (NT-CT, RT-CT) and RT had significantly higher available potassium than NT in 0–5 and 5–15 cm soil layers. Among the treatments, NT-CT-T3 showed significantly higher seed N (85.49 kg/ha), P (10.05 kg/ha), and K (24.51 kg/ha) uptake in soybean. The study indicates conventional tillage with residue returns and integrated nutrient management could be a feasible alternative to overcome the limitations of no-till farming in the deep black Vertisols of Central India.

Published: August 2020

Belgrade is the only capital in the world at the confluence of two major international rivers navigable for global shipment—the Danube and the Sava River. However, it was only after the unification of all riversides within Yugoslavia in 1918 that Belgrade started to develop its riverfront; initially, as green recreation areas during the socialist era. Since the post-socialist transition, this trajectory has sharply changed in order to create new urban nodes along the riverfront. The best example is the newest project of the urban renewal of waterfront development at the Sava River, the “Belgrade Waterfront Project.” This mega-project has sparked a lot of attention. The aim of this research is to present, evaluate, and spatially determine this attention before and after the project inauguration. This observational study is conducted by using two methods from social discourse: a survey, as a traditional method, and analysis based on social network data (Twitter) as a newer, “smarter” one. Comparing and mapping their results, this research offers recommendations on how to harmonize and modernize the development of this crucial potential of Belgrade.

This study analyzed the technological progress of the United States’ shale and tight petroleum (natural gas and crude oil) industry based on the association rules of its patents. According to the findings, although the production of shale oil and gas began in 2007, evidence of increasing technological developments in this industry assessed by patent applications began to appear only in 2010. In addition, the results showed that two distinct technological domains developed in 2010. Moreover, frequently developed technology classification networks are likely to contribute to the growth of this industry.
Establishing Ecological Security Patterns Based on Reconstructed Ecosystem Services Value in Rapidly Urbanizing Areas: A Case Study in Zhuhai City, China
Authors: Liu Yiming , Cui Nan , Han Rui , Guo Luo
Published: August 2020

Rapid urbanization has caused a reduction in green lands, negatively affecting the functions of ecosystem services (ESs). The 11th goal and other goals of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have highlighted the importance of the balanced development of cities and the environment. ESs are essential for human well-being, so their application in sustainable development study is indispensable. The ecological security pattern (ESP) provides an integrated strategy for maintaining a balance between a sustainable supply of ESs and urbanization. However, establishing an ESP with the goal of satisfying human requirements for ESs in a rapidly urbanizing area has not been well studied. Thus, it is necessary to build an ESP based on ecosystem service value (ESV) reconstruction to manage urban ecosystems sustainably. Based on land use data and field data, this study approached the research gap by related analyses. The first analysis involved dynamic reconstruction of ESVs using the static ESV and importance indices of ESs from 1999–2013. The second analysis involved using hot spot analysis (Getis-Ord Gi * statistics) to distinguish heterogeneous units of the dynamic ESV to identify ecological sources. The third analysis involved establishing the ESP in Zhuhai city, using the minimum cumulative resistance (MCR) model. The results indicated that the ESV of Zhuhai city displayed an upward trend. The functions of water conservation and waste treatment contributed most to the total ESV, while grain production and raw material contributed least in the study area. In the restructuring of ESVs in 2005, 2009, and 2013, the per unit area of the ESV decreased slightly. The areas with high ESVs continued to shrink, while the areas with low ESVs gradually expanded. The ESP of Zhuhai city exhibits great connectivity and strong plasticity, which specifically provides a reliable and visual way to build sustainable cities from a quantitative perspective, generally consistent with the urban ecological planning of Zhuhai city. This study provides an important reference for the application of ESs to achieve SDGs in coastal, rapidly urbanizing regions.

Published: August 2020

This study examines the essential characteristics of Virtual Reality (VR) that influence individual visit intention towards a touristic product. Despite the extensive research about VR, however, only little has examined the impact of factors that alter customers’ attitudes and trigger purchasing intention. This study applied Information Systems Success Model and conducted a survey using the convenience sampling method with international tourists who visited North Cyprus. The data were analyzed using the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) technique, and findings demonstrated that VR has great potential to influence visitors’ final destination by promoting tourism products and services. This paper revealed that VR—as a marketing medium—creates positive impacts and stimulates individuals’ intentions to visit a destination. The study provides implications for tourism sector actors such as tourism planners, policymakers, travel agencies, and hotel managers as well as prosocial guest experience to improve their marketing strategies.

Published: August 2020

The Sanjiangyuan National Park is the first Chinese national park system, and the ecological environment is inherently fragile and sensitive. Therefore, for environmental protection, it is imperative to understand the spatiotemporal variation characteristics of the ecological quality of vegetation and its climate influence factors. We used the MODIS normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) dataset, meteorological dataset, and Carnegie–Ames–Stanford Approach (CASA) model to investigate the spatiotemporal patterns and change trends of the NDVI and the net primary productivity (NPP) of the vegetation in the Sanjiangyuan National Park from 2000 to 2016. A linear regression model was used to explore the influence of the ecological quality of vegetation and climatic factors. The results showed that (1) the NDVI and NPP were high in the southeast area and low in the northwest area. The Yangtze River headwater region had the lowest NDVI (0–0.3) and NPP (0–100 gC/m2). The Lancang River had the highest NDVI (0.4–0.8) and NPP (100–250 gC/m2). (2) From 2000–2016, approximately 23.46% of the area showed a significant positive trend of the NDVI that was mainly distributed in the prairie areas in the midlands and the north of the Yangtze River headwater region, and was scattered in the midlands and the north of Yellow River headwater region. Furthermore, 24.32% of the NPP was determined to have increased significantly, which was mainly distributed in the midlands and the north of the Yangtze River headwater region, as well as the midlands and the east of the Yellow River headwater region. (3) The vegetation growth in the Sanjiangyuan National Park was regulated by both water and heat conditions. The NDVI was significantly affected by precipitation during the growing season and by the annual precipitation. In addition, the NPP was significantly affected by temperature during the growing season and by the annual average temperature of the study area.
Coordinated Control and Dynamic Optimal Dispatch of Islanded Microgrid System Based on GWO
Authors: Wang Yuting , Li Chunhua , Yang Kang
Published: August 2020

As an effective carrier of renewable distributed power sources, such as wind power and photovoltaics, microgrids have attracted increasing attention as the energy crisis becomes more serious. This paper focuses on the symmetry between the dynamic optimal dispatch and the coordinated control of islanded microgrid to determine the optimal system configuration that can reliably meet energy needs. In order to solve energy management problems, operating costs and environmental benefits, a novel methodology that combines dynamic optimal dispatch and Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO) is developed in this study to obtain the best output of different system components. This is to minimize the total cost of microgrid power generation and reduce pollutant emissions. In addition, a comparison is carried out between GWO and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). Moreover, the comparison between system configurations in six different scenarios and the effectiveness of GWO in solving optimization problems are presented. Finally, the simulation results show that GWO is more effective than PSO in determining the optimization parameters and the utilization rate of renewable energy in different scenarios is up to 92.96%. The simulations and experimental results verify the successful performance of the research method proposed in this study.

Published: August 2020

Bovine leukaemia virus (BLV) causes chronic lymphoproliferative disorder and fatal lymphosarcoma in cattle, leading to significant economic losses in the beef and dairy industries. BLV is endemic globally and eleven genotypes have been identified. To date, only Zambian isolates have been genotyped from Africa. Although high BLV prevalence has been reported in South Africa, there has been no molecular characterisation of South African BLV isolates. To characterise BLV isolates in South Africa for the first time, we investigated the phylogenetic relationships and compared the genetic variability of eight South African BLV isolates with BLV isolates representing the eleven known genotypes from different geographical regions worldwide. Phylogenetic analyses based on full-length and partial env sequences as well as full-length gag sequences revealed that at least two genotypes, genotypes 1 (G1) and 4 (G4), are present in cattle in South Africa, which is consistent with studies from Zambia. However, our analysis revealed that the G1 South African isolate is more similar to other G1 isolates than the G1 Zambian isolates whereas, the G4 South African isolates are more divergent from other G4 isolates but closely related to the G4 Zambian isolate. Lastly, amino acid sequence alignment identified genotype-specific as well as novel amino acid substitutions in the South African isolates. The detection of two genotypes (G1 and G4) in southern Africa highlights the urgent need for disease management and the development of an efficacious vaccine against local strains.
Observed Microphysical Characteristics of Stratiform and Convective Precipitation over an Inland Arid Region of the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau

Published: August 2020

This study analyzed the microphysical characteristics of stratiform and convective precipitation over an inland arid region of Qinghai–Tibet Plateau in summer for the first time. The observed precipitation data were from the OTT Parsivel2 laser raindrop spectrometer and the raindrop size distribution can be described by a gamma distribution and a general exponential distribution. The results indicate that: (1) compared to the exponential distribution, the gamma distribution is the better function with which to describe the raindrop size distribution in this region; (2) the raindrop sizes are mainly below 1 mm, and the raindrop sizes which contribute most to the rainfall intensity are below 2 mm for stratiform precipitation and convective precipitation; (3) the mean values of microphysical parameters, e.g., rainfall intensity, radar reflectivity factor, and liquid water content, are higher for convective precipitation than stratiform precipitation; and (4) the standard Z–R relationship underestimates the radar reflectivity factor in this region. Overall, the obtained results will enhance our understanding and facilitate future studies regarding the microphysical characteristics of precipitation in such regions. For example, the obtained Z–R relationship can be a reference for estimating the radar reflectivity factor in this region with higher accuracy.
The Impact of Multi-Projects on the Alteration of the Flow Regime in the Middle and Lower Course of the Hanjiang River, China
Authors: Yin Xin , Zhang Jianyun , Chen Jie
Published: August 2020

A large number of water resources development projects have significantly changed the natural flow regime of the middle and lower reaches of the Hanjiang River, especially the Danjiangkou Reservoir, cascade reservoirs, the South-to-North Water Diversion Middle Line Project and their compensation projects, completed in 1973, 2000, and 2014, respectively. The daily streamflow data of three stations in the middle and lower mainstream of the Hanjiang River are divided into four periods corresponding to pre-impact (1954–1973), interim (1974–1999), transition (2000–2013) and post-impact (2014–2018). Eco-flow metrics and indicators of hydrologic alteration (IHA) were used to study the change of natural flow regime. The annual streamflow decreased gradually during the four periods. The construction of the Danjiangkou Reservoir increased streamflow, minimum flow value, and the number of reversals in the dry season along the middle and lower course of the Hanjiang River. Moreover, the dam reduced streamflow, maximum flow value, low pulse duration, and the rise and fall rates in the wet season. Additionally, the streamflow reduced corresponding to the completion of cascade reservoirs and the Middle Route of South-to-North Water Diversion Project. In particular, the streamflow decreased drastically from July to September, affected by the Middle Route of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project. Furthermore, the compensation projects, such as the Yangtze-Hanjiang Water Diversion Project, mitigate the reduction of streamflow from July to September in the downstream. The study provides insights into the ecological and economic benefits associated with water resources development and use in the mainstream of the middle and lower course of the Hanjiang River for the achievement of sustainable development in the region.

From which, people can recognize the rumor in advance, and improve their vigilance to effectively block and control rumors dissemination. Based on the Bayesian network, the similarity calculation model of microblog rumor texts was built. At the same time, taking into account not only the rumor texts have similar characters, but also the rumor producers have similar characters, and therefore the similarity calculation model of rumor texts makers was constructed. Then, the similarity between the text and the user was integrated, and the microblog similarity calculation model was established. Finally, also experimentally studied the performance of the proposed model on the microblog rumor text and the user data set. The experimental results indicated that the similarity algorithm proposed in this paper could be used to identify the rumors of texts and predict the characters of users more accurately and effectively
Enhanced Latent Semantic Indexing Using Cosine Similarity Measures for Medical Application

Published: August 2020

The Vector Space Model (VSM) is widely used in data mining and Information Retrieval (IR) systems as a common document representation model. However, there are some challenges to this technique such as high dimensional space and semantic looseness of the representation. Consequently, the Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI) was suggested to reduce the feature dimensions and to generate semantic rich features that can represent conceptual term-document associations. In fact, LSI has been effectively employed in search engines and many other Natural Language Processing (NLP) applications. Researchers thereby promote endless effort seeking for better performance. In this paper, we propose an innovative method that can be used in search engines to find better matched contents of the retrieving documents. The proposed method introduces a new extension for the LSI technique based on the cosine similarity measures. The performance evaluation was carried out using an Arabic language data collection that contains 800 medical related documents, with more than 47,222 unique words. The proposed method was assessed using a small testing set that contains five medical keywords. The results show that the performance of the proposed method is superior when compared to the standard LSI

Published: August 2020

Founded in 1499, the confraternity of our Lady of Seven Sorrows was one the most prominent associations of medieval and early modern Brussels. It was actively promoted by the Burgundian-Habsburg court, giving way to an important art patronage. The elevated position of the confraternity strongly contrasts with the scarcity of the preserved source material : almost all archival sources are missing or lost. One of the few surviving documents is a seventeenth-century inventory which gives an overview of the art works, jewellery, real estate and obligations in possession of the confraternity at that particular moment. The inventory further contains a detailed account of the acquisitions, the donors and a description of the physical appearance of the objects. As such, it provides a unique insight into both the material culture and the history of the association. Because of the importance of this document for the history of the confraternity, and the political, religious and artistic past of the city of Brussels, it is made accessible for research through a critical edition.

The Internet of Things (IoT) devices have
capabilities to interact and communicate in 5G heterogeneous networks. The IoT devices
also have capabilities to form a network with neighborhood devices without a centralized
approach. This network is called the mobile ad hoc network (MANET). Through an
infrastructure-less system of the Internet of Things environment, the MANET
enables IoT nodes to interact with one another. Those IoT nodes could
interactively connect, communicate as well as share knowledge between several
nodes. The role of cloud throughout this structure would be to store as well as
interpret information through IoT nodes. The communication security has also
been introduced to be one of the techniques in which trying to solve the data
transmission security issue that could result in the performance increase in
cloud consumption and ubiquity. Our purpose in this research would be to
establish a communication system among IoT nodes in such an embedded Cloud and
MANET structure. The main goal of this research is to create an efficient and
secure approach for communication in Cloud-MANET-IoT integrated framework. This
approach is implemented and tested.
