Budist Uygurlarda ‘Ateş Ritüeli’: Homa (Tantrik Türk Budizmi Metinleri Tanıklığında)
Authors: İSİ Hasan
Published: July 2022

Homa, a fire ritual of Vedic origin, is a popular religious practice adapted from Hinduism to Esoteric Buddhism. Homa, seen in meditation and yoga practices in Tibetan Buddhism, is a ritual that aims to reach wisdom and enlightenment, which is represented in Buddhist Tantras in particular, Agni, the god of fire. The homa ritual is also known as a performance that involves the building of a fire at an altar and the burning of offerings over it. Predominantly in Tibetan Buddhism, the practice of homa, visualized with a maṇḍala, takes place under the guidance of masters of teaching called Guru or Ācārya. In the practice of homa, offerings thrown into the fire symbolically mean removing spiritual barriers. The practice of homa, which usually has functions such as protection, prolonging life, destroying evil and evil beings, is a ritual of purification and renewal. This ritual is a popular practice in all Buddhist regions of Central Asia, not just the Indian and Tibetan region. In this respect, the present study deals with the narratives of the fire ritual among the Uyghurs, who adopted Tibetan Buddhism in the Old Turkish religious life. This practice, which is seen with the term hom(a) ~ hoom in Old Uyghur, is also seen in written materials, especially in Buddhist Uyghurs, where ritual-based narratives are abundant.
An Internal Weakness in Current Intertemporal Preference Theory
Authors: Monge Marco
Published: July 2022

This theoretical paper demonstrates that using utility functions to study intertemporal decisions creates an internal contradiction: nonfulfillment of comparability, which is a condition of constructing utility functions. It shows that Riemann’s rearrangement theorem leads to basket incomparability for infinitely lived agents in discrete time and considers Austrian theory the best replacement for the model that implies this conflict. It suggests also that cardinality cannot fix this problem, since it does not eliminate the likelihood of generating conditionally convergent series unable to represent the rankings of potential consumption streams.

This article describes spatial-temporal analysis using the innovation of developing a Geographically Weighted Panel Regression model with a distance weighting function that includes the interaction between spatial and time aspects (GWPR-st). The method is a local regression technique that provides a parameter model that varies in each location through cross-sectional and time-series data observation units. This study develops a new model in spatial statistics and offers new methodologies in Geographic Models and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). This study aims to determine the factors that influence the increase in positive cases and map the spread of COVID-19 on the Kalimantan Regency/City Scale. The model applied in this study involves geographic weighting functions, including the Gaussian kernel, Bisquare kernel, and tricube kernel, which spatial interactions and time series have modified. This study uses national COVID-19 data from 56 regencies/cities until August 2021. According to the research results, the developed model with the geographic weighting of the Bisquare kernel function was considered the most acceptable method. The developed model, which is deemed capable of information the most substantial influence on the number of COVID-19 cases in Kalimantan, is health services, such as a shortage of doctors, number of hospitals, number of community health centers, and number of tuberculosis cases. The study results provide the local governments with decision-making recommendations for overcoming the COVID-19 problems in their regions.

Published: July 2022

As the most widespread method of waste management worldwide, municipal solid waste (MSW) landfills have different technology standards in developed and developing countries. Unfortunately, many occupational diseases and health impacts are associated with garbage picking. Therefore, this research aims to explore the factors related to the work accident by waste pickers at the MSW landfill in Eks Karesidenan Besuki, East Java, Indonesia. The research design used was cross-sectional. The construct validity was tested using Exploratory Factor Analysis and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). In addition, a cross-sectional quantitative study was used to measure 154 waste pickers. The hypothesis was tested, and a risk factor work accident model was developed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The data that has been collected is operated through the IBM® SPSS AMOS version 23.0 program. The results from this study provided information related to landfill management and its impact on the environment and health, especially on work accidents experienced by waste pickers at the MSW landfill in Eks Karesidenan Besuki, Indonesia. The findings of this study confirm that factors related to occupational accidents are workload factors (p = 0.046), individual factors (p = 0.043), and personal protection equipment (PPE) (p = 0.001). The strength of this research is the use of the structural equation model. SEM is a set of statistical techniques that allow the simultaneous testing of a complex set of relationships. This research also produces a model. The model generated from the application shows five covariances that can be additional research.

Published: July 2022

This study aims to describe and analyze the ability to absorb local people's aspirations by the Gorontalo Regional Development Planning Agency (RDPA) from the public administration perspective. Currently, there are many cases of serious conflict between the government and the community because policies are taken without paying attention to the people's aspirations. This is where the importance of development planning issues must be related to the concept of public administration, where the government must know and understand what the community needs properly. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method involving informants and respondents from various parties. The results show that DPA has good quality in absorbing community aspirations in development planning programs, but it is not yet fully optimal, and there are still some obstacles. The absorption of community aspirations is more optimally carried out through the Development Planning Forum and the Face-to-Face Model Deliberation of Regional Apparatus Work Units in a persuasive manner so that bottom-up proposals are more qualified and focused. Furthermore, it is recommended that training be carried out in the community, especially for the head of the local community, to inventory development needs in their area so that each plan's activity and the proposals are more quality. In this study, it was found novelty that the RDPA Gorontalo was able to play a role in improving the quality of participatory planning in the Gorontalo regional development planning system, both as policy formulation and in its operations.
BRIEF REVIEW OF GEOPOLYMER BINDER
Authors: Syahyadi Rizal , Fauzi Amir , Majuar Edi , Rachman Aulia , Zaki Ahmad
Published: July 2022

Concrete is a famous component in construction due to the ease of work in shape and dimension. However, concrete is highly dependent on the availability of Ordinary Portland cement (OPC) as the binder. The survey recorded that OPC had environmental issues, especially CO2 release and the amount of energy expended during the production. Some researchers were motivated to answer these issues by reducing OPC in the concrete. Using geopolymer in the concrete binder was an alternative to solve the issue. This paper summarized the previous studies on geopolymer binder dealing with the material characteristics, rheology properties, microstructure, mechanical properties, durability, and applications in reinforced concrete. Geopolymer offered zero OPC as the binder in the concrete. It used the waste or by-product material as the base material in geopolymer concrete. The material of geopolymer was rich in the chemical content of Si, Al, and Ca that produced the gel of Si-O-Si and Si-O-Al to contribute to the compressive strength. While the gel of C-A-S-H or N-A-S-H contributed to the setting time. Geopolymer provided similar or better concrete properties compared to OPC concrete. This paper reviewed the properties of geopolymer concrete (GPC), which consisted of fresh and hardened properties, creep, drying shrinkage, and bond with reinforcement bars. This paper also displayed the factors influencing the GPC properties, the stress-strain relationship, and the structural behavior of reinforced geopolymer concrete members with the currently available conventional concrete standards. Finally, the GPC properties were comparable to those of OPC. However, the challenge of GPC in the future should answer its limitation in the concrete industry referred to in the previous study.

Authors: Thongaram Nopadol , Luangubol Jatuporn , Glangkarn Sumattana
Published: July 2022

Multicultural social competences are essential for life in the 21st century and understanding of coexistence in society equally without stigmatization and discrimination against those who are different from oneselves. Therefore, education management focusing on developing learners' skills of coexistence and understanding the diversity and differences of people in society is important, especially in Thailand's three southern border provinces facing problems with the unrest affecting the daily life of their people, especially the issue of different beliefs in the practice of religious principles, traditions, and way of life. This research aimed to study the composition of multicultural social competences of community college students in the three southern border provinces. It was conducted among 575 students of community colleges in the three southern border provinces of Thailand. Exploratory component analysis was applied to the data. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) revealed seven components of multicultural social competence in the community college (MSCCC): kindness, multicultural attitude, acceptance of diversity in society, cultural knowledge, skills in coexistence, cultural communication, and social equality. These will formulate issues for the development of multicultural social competence of community college students in the three southern border provinces.

Published: July 2022

This study sought to investigate the impacts of an agile system, knowledge sharing, and empowerment on the organizational entrepreneurship within Orange, a telecommunications firm. In total, 278 samples were gathered after the sample-checking process was completed. The PLS program was then utilized to process all the data. The findings of this study reveal a set of relationships and linkages that can serve to enhance organizational entrepreneurship. More specifically, the findings indicate that an agile system has a positive and direct impact on entrepreneurship, including leadership and collaboration, self-organizing teams, effective changes, and both complexity and flexibility. In addition, knowledge sharing positively affects entrepreneurship, including work groups, the collaborative environment, knowledge repositories, training, and integration within the work environment. Moreover, empowerment has a direct and positive impact on entrepreneurship, including instruments, self-efficacy, self-advocacy, and competence. Interestingly, the present findings are inconsistent with those of previous studies showing the variables of interest to have no effect on data mining and entrepreneurship. Taken together, the findings of this study suggest that firms should begin to integrate the process of entrepreneurship into all transactional processes, documents, and orders. Firms should also start relying on agile and empowerment systems to effectively deal with knowledge sharing, keep pace with development and competition, develop more competitive advantages and new knowledge, and support and enhance the decision-making process. The novelty of the present study lies in highlighting the key dimensions of an agile system, knowledge sharing, and empowerment when it comes to enhancing organizational entrepreneurship within a telecommunications firm.
Fast 2-Step Regularization on Style Optimization for Real Face Morphing
Authors: Yu Cheng , Wang Wenmin , Li Honglei , Bugiolacchi Roberto
Published: July 2022

StyleGAN is now capable of achieving excellent results, especially high-quality face synthesis. Recently, some studies have tried to invert real face images into style latent space via StyleGAN. However, morphing real faces via latent representation is still in its infancy. Training costs are high and/or require huge samples with labels. By adding regularization to style optimization, we propose a novel method to morph real faces based on StyleGAN. To do the supervised task, we label latent vectors via synthesized faces and release the label set; then we utilise logistic regression to fast discover interpretable directions in latent space. Appropriate regularization helps us to optimize both latent vectors (faces and directions). Moreover, we use learned directions under different layer representations to handle real face morphing. Compared to the existing methods, our method faster yields a larger diverse and realistic output. Code and cases are available at \url{https://github.com/disanda/RFM}.

Authors: Barbi Ivo
Published: July 2022

This paper provides contributions to the study of weakly nonlinear electrical circuit oscillators. A method is introduced for the determination of the stable limit cycle and the dynamics of a family of oscillators, employed in the analysis of a nonlinear oscillator similar to the van der Pol circuit. The circuit studied includes the power dissipated in the inductor resistance and in a load resistor connected in parallel with the capacitor, along with a more generic nonlinear damping system.  It is demonstrated that the system has a stable limit cycle which is dependent on the internal power losses. The results of the theoretical analysis are verified with the use of computer simulation.
Reducing Computation Time with Priority Assignment in Distributed MPC
Authors: Scheffe Patrick , Kahle Julius , Alrifaee Bassam
Published: July 2022

Distributing computations among agents in a networked control system (NCS) reduces computational effort. One distribution strategy is prioritized distributed model predictive control (P-DMPC). In P-DMPC, we couple and prioritize interacting agents to achieve a desired behavior of the NCS. We characterize the interaction with a directed acyclic graph (DAG). The computation time of the NCS is mainly determined through the longest path in the DAG. The longest path depends on the undirected coupling graph, which is fixed, and the prioritization, which is variable. The approaches to prioritize agents are numerous and pursue various goals. This article presents an approach to assign priorities in P-DMPC to reduce the longest path length in the coupling DAG and thus the computation time for the NCS. We prove that this problem can be mapped to a graph-coloring problem, in which the number of colors required corresponds to the longest path length in the coupling DAG. We further propose to reorder the colors, which decreases the number of constraints for agents along the longest path in the coupling DAG. We propose a decentralized graph-coloring algorithm to determine priorities for the agents. We evaluate the approach by applying it to trajectory planning for networked and autonomous vehicles on roads.
Human Activity Recognition Using Cascaded Dual Attention CNN and Bi-Directional GRU Framework
Authors: Ullah Hayat , Munir Arslan
Published: July 2022

Vision-based human activity recognition has emerged as one of the essential research areas in video analytics domain. Over the last decade, numerous advanced deep learning algorithms have been introduced to recognize complex human actions from video streams. These deep learning algorithms have shown impressive performance for the human activity recognition task. However, these newly introduced methods either exclusively focus on model performance or the effectiveness of these models in terms of computational efficiency and robustness, resulting in a biased tradeoff in their proposals to deal with challenging human activity recognition problem. To overcome the limitations of contemporary deep learning models for human activity recognition, this paper presents a computationally efficient yet generic spatial-temporal cascaded framework that exploits the deep discriminative spatial and temporal features for human activity recognition. For efficient representation of human actions, we have proposed an efficient dual attentional convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture that leverages a unified channel-spatial attention mechanism to extract human-centric salient features in video frames. The dual channel-spatial attention layers together with the convolutional layers learn to be more attentive in the spatial receptive fields having objects over the number of feature maps. The extracted discriminative salient features are then forwarded to stacked bi-directional gated recurrent unit (Bi-GRU) for long-term temporal modeling and recognition of human actions using both forward and backward pass gradient learning. Extensive experiments are conducted on three publicly available human action datasets, where the obtained results verify the effectiveness of our proposed framework over the state-of-the-art methods in terms of model accuracy and inference runtime across each dataset. Experimental results show that the proposed framework attains an improvement in execution time up to 167× in terms of frames per second as compared to most of the contemporary action recognition methods.

Authors: Bi Shaofeng , Xu Liang , Cheng Xiaoyu , Sun Yunfei , Zhang Qiang , Yuan Chengwei
Published: July 2022

An all-metal reflectarray (RA) element based on the variable-rotation technique (VRT) is presented in this letter. The RA element, based on an elliptical inner conductor and a circular outer conductor, exhibits a continuous 360° phase coverage with negligible element loss over a wide range of incident angles and frequencies. A 10GHz prototype with 121 manually rotated elements was simulated, fabricated and tested. The proposed RA antenna has 2-D beam-steerable capability up to 45° elevation angle. The measured results agree well with the simulated counterparts. For demonstration, four different steering cases are presented as examples by manually adjusting the rotation angle of the RA elements. The maximum measured antenna gain is 26.2dBi, corresponding to an aperture efficiency of 66%. A 1.3 dB gain drop was measured during beam scanning from 0° to 40°.

You Only Train Once: A highly generalizable reinforcement learning method for dynamic job shop scheduling problem
Authors: Zeng Yunhui , Liao Zijun , Li Xiu , Yuan Bo
Published: July 2022

Research in artificial intelligence demonstrates the applicability and flexibility of the reinforcement learning (RL) technique for the dynamic job shop scheduling problem (DJSP). However, the RL-based method will always overfit to the training environment and cannot generalize well to novel unseen situations at deployment time, which is unacceptable in real-world production. For this reason, this paper proposes a highly generalizable reinforcement learning framework named Train Once For All (TOFA) for the dynamic job shop scheduling problem. The trivial and non-trivial states are distinguished when the DJSP is formulated as a semi-Markov decision process, defining the size-agnostic state, action, and reward function. A novel graph representation learning method based on attention mechanism and spatial pyramid pooling is implemented to compress the disjunctive graphs of differentsize DJSP into fixed-length feature vectors. Combining the proposed dynamic frame skipping and an improved prioritized experience replay method that considers the sample quality difference at different training phases. TOFA shows superb generalization capability, outperforms practically favored dispatching rules and even instance-by-instance training RL-based schedulers on various benchmark DJSP. Additionally, we proved that TOFA acquires a transferable scheduling policy that can be used to schedule a whole new DJSP without additional training.

Published: July 2022

Albedo is a key component of the atmospheric, climatologic and remote sensing studies by means of global warming, energy balance, evapotranspiration, climate models, hydrological cycle etc.  For these reasons, the accurate determination of surface albedo has become more important. In this study, the variation of measured albedo values of winter wheat, barley and sunflower cultivars according to phenological stages was investigated for the first time in the northwestern part of Turkey. Additonally, influences of leaf area index as growth indicator and rainfall as meteorological variable on albedo were also analyzed. The average albedo values of winter wheat, barley and sunflower in both growing periods varied from 0.176 to 0.190 for winter wheat, from 0.171 to 0.189 for sunflower and from 0.187 to 0.214 for barley cultivars. According to phenological stages, the minimum and maximum average albedo values were found for winter wheat as 0.121 between sowing and germination and 0.247 between stem formation and head emergence; for sunflower as 0.150 between sowing and germination and 0.212 between leaf initiation and immature bud; for barley as 0.144 sowing and germination and 0.261 between head emergence and flowering stages. Additionally, significant relationships were found between albedo and leaf area index for winter wheat, barley and sunflower as r2=0.87, r2=0.82 and r2=0.77, respectively.

It is essential to consider water allocation control and on-farm irrigation scheduling to increase water productivity in agriculture. There are several devices used for irrigation scheduling, however the best device with the most priority is not identified yet. In the present study, the effect of using several irrigation scheduling devices on increasing water productivity in a corn field was investigated. The devices were classified technically and economically using analytic hierarchy process. The experimental farm was located in a semi-arid region in Iran, which was managed by a farmer and irrigated with drip irrigation system. Six techniques for irrigation scheduling were studied including Penman-Monteith model (T2), infrared thermometer (T3), soil moisture meter (T4), tensiometer (T5), and gypsum block (T6). The irrigation scheduling treatments were compared with the conventional treatment adopted by the farmer (T1). Economic analysis was performed. The ease of use of the devices was also evaluated. Results showed for the irrigation scheduling treatments of T3 to T6, applied irrigation water was reduced by 11 to 26% compared to T1. The corn yield in irrigation scheduling treatments was not reduced significantly compared to T1. As a result, water productivity increased by 35% from 2.0 to 2.7 kg/m3. The best irrigation scheduling device in terms of water productivity was gypsum block. In regard to affordability and ease of use by farmers, the Penman-Monteith model had more priority. Considering all assessment criteria, tensiometer (T5) was given the first priority. The infrared thermometer (T3) and Penman-Monteith model (T2) were identified as the next priorities.

Peranan gaya belajar dan intensitas belajar siswa menjadi hal yang penting dalam meningkatkan hasil belajar siswa, namun sebagian besar siswa belum mengetahui gaya belajar dan intensitas belajar yang sesuai dengan kapasitas diri. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui bagaimana pengaruh gaya belajar visual dan intensitas belajar terhadap hasil belajar siswa. Metode analisis yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini yaitu menggunakan analisis regresi linier berganda, kemudian pengumpulan data diperoleh dengan menyebar kuesioner kepada 85 siswa kelas X jurusan Bisnis dan Pemasaran di SMK Negeri 1 Samarinda. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian diperoleh hasil bahwa gaya belajar visual tidak berpengaruh terhadap hasil belajar, variabel intensitas belajar berpengaruh signifikan terhadap hasil belajar, sedangkan secara simultan gaya belajar visual dan intensitas belajar berpengaruh signifikan terhadap variabel hasil belajar siswa. Apabila gaya belajar visual tidak didukung oleh intensitas belajar yang baik maka tidak dapat meningkatkan hasil belajar siswa. Siswa diharapkan untuk mampu memahami gaya belajar yang sesuai dengan dirinya sehingga dapat memberikan kenyamanan dan kemudahan dalam belajar.
The Tension between two Kantian Definitions of the Notion of Concept. The Abstractive Representation and the Function
Authors: Pelegrin Laura
Published: July 2022

In the Transcendental Aesthetics, Kant introduces the distinction between intuitions and concepts. Intuitions are immediate and singular representations. Concepts are mediate and universal representations. In the Transcendental Logic, Kant defines the concept as a function or rule. The concept is a rule of unity of the multiplicity of intuition. This investigation aims to show that there is a tension between the definition of concept in the Aesthetics and the Dialectic with the notion of concept as function, according to its presentation in the Transcendental Logic. Our hypothesis is that the definition of concept as a function that is introduced in the Transcendental Logic is grounded on a sui generis notion of concept that comes into tension with the definition of concept as a representation by common marks.

ROLE-PLAYING GAMES E ENSINO DE HISTÓRIA NO IFES – NOVA VENÉCIA
Authors: Pavani Roney Marcos
Published: July 2022

O presente artigo analisa os usos dos jogos de interpretação de personagens (RPGs) desenvolvidos no IFES – Nova Venécia no ano de 2019, tanto como projeto de ensino extracurricular, quanto como ferramenta metodológica nas aulas de História. Inicialmente são apresentadas ao leitor as origens e as principais características desses jogos. Em seguida, de que forma eles podem ser aplicados ao ensino, uma vez que por se tratarem de uma modalidade lúdica na qual o jogador assume o papel de outra pessoa, é possível fazer com que esse mesmo jogador pense, fale, aja e se comporte como alguém que ele não conhece, mas que pretende conhecer. No caso de personagens históricos, é necessário que os jogadores que os controlam estudem a seu respeito, situando suas atitudes em outra época. Por fim, faz-se um relato de experiências dos usos dos RPGs nas diversas turmas do 1º e do 3º anos do Ensino Médio do campus, e se busca apontar as vantagens e as desvantagens dessa metodologia.
