Perkembangan dunia pariwisata saat ini sangat pesat,tidak terkecuali periwisata yang ada di pulau Lombok, banyak destinasi wisata yang ditawarkan di pulau yang berjuluk seribu masjid ini, khususnya yang ada di Kabupaten Lombok Tengah. Majunya perkembangan pariwisata di kawasan Lombok Tengah tidak diimbangi dengan SDM yang mumpuni terutama dalam penguasaan bahasa asing atau bahasa Inggris, hal ini menjadi salah satu kendala untuk meningkatkan kualtas pelayanan kepada para wisatawan asing. Kemampuan berkomunikasi yang baik terutama menggunakan bahasa Inggris merupakan keniscayaan yang hasrus dimiliki oleh setiap orang yang akan berkecimpung di dunia pariwisata terutama yang berkecimpung di perhotelan. Untuk itu dengan dilaksanakannya pengabdian dapat meninggkatkan kemampuan berkomunikasi dan pelayanan yang diberikan kepada wisatawan baik mancan Negara maupun domestic. Metode yang digunakan dalam pengabdian masyarakat ini yaitu dengan metode short course dimana peserta pelatihan ini di simulasikan untuk menerima tamu yang datang dari mancan Negara, sehingga dari awal pelatihan ini para peserta pelatihan ini dibiasakan untuk berhadapan dengan tamu. Hasil dari pelatihan ini, para peserta sudah mampu berkomunikasi secara verbal dengan ckup baik, dimana para peserta sudah tidak merasa grogi lagi ketika berkominikais dengan tamu mancan Negara. Pengalaman belajar (learning experience) telah didapat oleh peserta walaupun masih belum seluruhnya dapat dipraktikkan dengan intensif. Tentunya, pengalaman belajar ini akan menjadi salah satu modal bagi mereka untuk ikut bersaing di dunia kerja yang secara global menuntut kecakapan berkomunikasi dalam bahasa asing.

Published: November 2020

COVID-19 brought the public’s attention to the critical value of transportation and supply chain workers as lifelines to access food and other supplies. This report examines essential job skills required of the middle-skill workforce (workers with more than a high school degree, but less than a four-year college degree). Many of these middle-skill transportation and supply chain jobs are what the Federal Reserve Bank defines as “opportunity occupations” -- jobs that pay above median wages and can be accessible to those without a four-year college degree. This report lays out the complex landscape of selected technological disruptions of the supply chain to understand the new workforce needs of these middle-skill workers, followed by competencies identified by industry. With workplace social distancing policies, logistics organizations now rely heavily on data management and analysis for their operations. All rungs of employees, including warehouse workers and truck drivers, require digital skills to use mobile devices, sensors, and dashboards, among other applications. Workforce training requires a focus on data, problem solving, connectivity, and collaboration. Industry partners identified key workforce competencies required in digital literacy, data management, front/back office jobs, and in operations and maintenance. Education and training providers identified strategies to effectively develop workforce development programs. This report concludes with an exploration of the role of Institutes of Higher Education in delivering effective workforce education and training programs that reimagine how to frame programs to be customizable, easily accessible, and relevant.
COMPARING VALIDATION RESULTS OF 1D VERSUS 2D MATHEMATICAL MODEL FOR BUNA RIVER
Authors: Abazi Elona , Pandazi Sotiraq , Ndini Miriam
Published: November 2020

Mathematical models are a valuable tool to study different water related problems. 1Dimensional and 2Dimensional mathematical models are widely used in river engineering studies. 1D and 2D mathematical models are set-up for Buna River using SOBEK software developed from Deltares Institute, the Netherlands. Buna River is part of the water system of Shkodra Lake, Drini and Buna River. This water system is the largest in Albania, and receives significant amounts of annual precipitation ranging from 1600 mm to 4000 mm. This water system discharges all its waters into the Adriatic Sea through Buna River bed, which has a total length of around 44 km. Around 1.5 km from flowing out of Shkodra Lake, Buna River joins Drini River, and then meanders in a low land area before discharging into the sea. Validation is a very important step in the process of building a mathematical model for a water system. Validation of 1D and 2D mathematical models for Buna River is done by using the hourly water level data from on-line stations for an event. The results of both models are evaluated based on graphical comparison and statistical tests such as: Root Mean Square Error, Mean Absolute Error, and Correlation Coefficient. The 1D mathematical model shows a better performance for the flow inside the river banks (bankfull discharge) due to a more accurate representation of the river bathymetry
WATER TREATMENT RESULTING FROM THE EXPLOITATION OF GAS DEPOSIT - CASE STUDY
Authors: Marinescu (Badica) Carmen- Matilda , Badica Marius- Nicolae , Suditu Silvian , Stoica Monica Emanuela
Published: November 2020

The water produced is the water brought to the surface through the oil and gas wells. It is made of natural deposit water, mixed with the hydrocarbons in the deposit. Due to the fact that more and more deposits are reaching maturity, the volume of water produced increases over time, so its disposal is now mandatory and conditions the continuation of gas production. Separation of the impurity gases is carried out within the group of probes, by means of installations called liquid separators. They are mounted on the path of each pipe of the well's supply, and their maintenance is equal to the duration of the probe's production time. The mounting of the separators for the adduction wells is usually done inside the well group, so that they can be controlled and exploited according to some rigorously designed schemes. This study presents the separation of the gases from the water using the separators with F.S. filter type
A comparison of selective muscle activity in the abductor hallucis between flat feet and normal feet during single mini-squat exercise
Authors: Kim Jun-Seok , Moon Dong-Chul
Published: November 2020

BACKGROUND:

The abductor hallucis (AbH) is a key muscle in the stability of the foot by supporting the medial longitudinal arch (MLA). Individuals with flat foot show a flattening of the MLA with a decreased selective AbH activity relative to the other foot extrinsic muscles during functional movement.

OBJECTIVE:

To examine the selective muscle activity of the abductor hallucis (AbH) during single-leg mini-squat (SMS) in subjects with flat foot and normal individuals.

METHODS:

Twenty-four healthy adults (13 men and 11 women) with flat or normal feet participated in this study. All subjects performed single minisquat (SMS), and data were collected using sEMG from the AbH, TA, and GCM during SMS.

RESULTS:

An inter-gender comparison of the EMG data revealed no difference. The EMG activity of the AbH in individuals with flat foot was significantly lower than that of individuals with normal feet. Moreover, the AbH/TA ratio in subjects with flat foot, , was significantly lower than that in subjects with normal feet.

CONCLUSION:

In a clinical setting, clinicians should focus on strengthening exercises of the AbH muscle due to reduced activation of the AbH muscle in individuals with flat foot. The selective muscle activity of the AbH muscle during SMS should be emphasized.
A vectorized bimodal distribution based micro differential evolution algorithm (VB-mDE)
Authors: Chen Xu , Miao Xueliang , Tianfield Hugo
Published: November 2020

Micro differential evolution (mDE) refers to algorithms that evolve with a small population to search for good solutions. Although mDEs are very useful for resource-constrained optimization tasks, the research on mDEs is still limited. In this paper, we propose a new mDE, i.e., vectorized bimodal distribution based mDE (called VB-mDE). The main idea is to employ a vectorized bimodal distribution parameter adjustment mechanism in mDE for performance enhancement. Specifically, in the VB-mDE, two important control parameters, i.e., scale factor F and crossover rate C⁢R, are adjusted by bimodal Cauchy distribution. At the same time, to increase the population diversity, the scale factor F is vectorized. The proposed VB-mDE is evaluated on the CEC2014 benchmark functions and compared with the state-of-the-art mDEs and normal DEs. The results show that the proposed VB-mDE has advantages in terms of solution accuracy and convergence speed.
Intelligent recognition of semantic relationships based on antonymy
Authors: Guan Hui , Jia Chengzhen , Yang Hongji
Published: November 2020

Since computing semantic similarity tends to simulate the thinking process of humans, semantic dissimilarity must play a part in this process. In this paper, we present a new approach for semantic similarity measuring by taking consideration of dissimilarity into the process of computation. Specifically, the proposed measures explore the potential antonymy in the hierarchical structure of WordNet to represent the dissimilarity between concepts and then combine the dissimilarity with the results of existing methods to achieve semantic similarity results. The relation between parameters and the correlation value is discussed in detail. The proposed model is then applied to different text granularity levels to validate the correctness on similarity measurement. Experimental results show that the proposed approach not only achieves high correlation value against human ratings but also has effective improvement to existing path-distance based methods on the word similarity level, in the meanwhile effectively correct existing sentence similarity method in some cases in Microsoft Research Paraphrase Corpus and SemEval-2014 date set.
CYP2E1-DEPENDENT VARIATIONS IN HEPATOCYTES DAMAGE DURING TREATMENT OF TUBERCULOSIS
Authors: Natrus L.V. , Gayova L.V. , Gorkunenko O.O. , Chernovol P.A. , Zelinska M.V.
Published: November 2020

Relevance. Investigation of polymorphism in a locus of CYP2E1 as the prognostic factor of drug-induced hepatotoxicity at anti-TB therapy is significant due to the influence of CYP2E1 on drug metabolism.

The objective of the investigation is to analyze the association of rs2070676 СYP2E1 gene polymorphism with drug-induced hepatotoxicity by means of the clinical-laboratory values of serum transaminases at anti-TB treatment.

Materials and methods. The study involved 47 patients with drug-susceptible tuberculosis first time discovered. 58 healthy volunteers comprised a control group. Laboratory indices were determined in venous blood three times: before the treatment as baseline; in 2 months of intensive therapy (isoniazid, rifampicin, ethambutol, pyrazinamide), then in 4 months of maintenance therapy (isoniazid, rifampicin). Serum activities of enzymes ALT, AST, and GGT were measured by standard algorithm on automatic analyzer BS-300. Analysis of rs2070676 polymorphism of CYP2E1 gene was performed by polymerase chain reaction using standard PureLink® Genomic DNA Kit for Purification of Genomic DNA; Manufacturer of INVITROGEN (USA). For statistical processing, IBM SPSS Statistics 23 was applied.

Results. Investigation of serum ALT and AST in patients with major genotype CYP2E1 (C/C) showed the lower baseline ALT and AST levels comparing to the control group, which might be caused by suppression of hepatocytes functions at the development of the disease. Anti-TB treatment caused an increase in ALT and AST levels comparing to the baseline in patients with major CYP2E1 (C/C) genotype. In the group with C/G polymorphism, the baseline ALT level didn’t differ much from the baseline of the control group; it showed a decrease after intensive therapy and returned back to the initial level at maintenance therapy. This might be related to the certain protective property of СYP2E1 gene polymorphism. The AST level was increased after intensive therapy (to a smaller extent than for the patients with major C/C genotype) and remained on the same level at maintenance therapy. A study of GGT showed a gradual increase regardless of genotype.

Conclusion. According to the data of the experiment, the status of hepatocytes in patients with tuberculosis at baseline and during treatment was different depending on the CYP2E1 genotype. The results of the experiment indicate that the CYP2E1 gene polymorphism has a certain protecting role. It reduces the level of drug metabolites and hepatotoxicity which causes mitochondrial dysfunction.

En esta nota hacemos explícitos los problemas más importantes que confrontan los estudios de efectividad y de estimación del efecto de intervenciones esterilizadas, especialmente aquellas que tiene un objetivo implícito sobre el nivel de la tasa de cambio. Estos problemas se solucionan, por lo menos en gran parte, con la utilización de modelos basados en la microestructura del mercado cambiario sobre información de alta frecuencia. Empleando uno de estos estudiamos el efecto de la intervenciones esterilizadas a través de subastas de opciones, en especial las de compra directa, realizadas por el Banco de la República en las últimas décadas. Para esto contamos con información detallada intradía sobre el mercado, las sorpresas contenidas en los anuncios macroeconómicos y las intervenciones. Encontramos que estas intervenciones tienen un efecto pequeño y de corta duración sobre la tasa de cambio. Los resultados sugieren, sin embargo, que la señal fué creíble y no ambigua en un mercado eficiente. Estos resultados son más marcados para el periodo 2007-2011 que para 2011-2019.
Emotional Facial Expression Perception and Processing in AUD Subgroups
Authors: Bohan Riley , Lewis Ben , Garcia Christian , Nixon Sara Jo
Published: November 2020

Deficits in emotion processing among individuals with AUD are well accepted, however the potential impact of polysubstance use in this population remains uninvestigated. The current work begins to fill this gap by analyzing affective perception and processing in community controls (CCs) and two AUD subgroups differentiated by presence (Alc-Drug) or absence (Alc-Only) of polysubstance use. Behavioral task performance and electroencephalographic (EEG) indices (N170, P3) were measured for an emotion judgement task where participants classified emotional facial expressions (EFEs) morphed to 65 or 95 percent intensity. Mixed model analyses detected deficits in emotion classification accuracy among Alc-Drug relative to other groups. Although there was a main effect of emotion (greater accuracy for positive vs. negative emotions), there was no group by emotion interaction. N170 amplitude analyses found only a main effect for emotion (greater amplitude for negative vs. positive emotions). P3 amplitude analyses detected differences between control and AUD individuals, but no difference between AUD subgroups. No correlation was found between accuracy and ERP amplitudes. These findings contribute to the developing literature on emotional processing deficits in AUD, including highlighting the importance of considering polysubstance use in characterizing these deficits.
A lower bound for general t-stack sortable permutations via pattern avoidance
Authors: Chinmay Pranav
Published: November 2020

There is no formula for general t-stack sortable permutations. Thus, we attempt to study them by establishing lower and upper bounds. Permutations that avoid certain pattern sets provide natural lower bounds. This paper presents a recurrence relation that counts the number of permutations that avoid the set (23451,24351,32451,34251,42351,43251). This establishes a lower bound on 3-stack sortable permutations. Additionally, the proof generalizes to provide lower bounds for all t-stack sortable permutations.

Microplastic pollution is an emerging topic in environmental science. However, information about its prevalence in the freshwater ecosystems is still scarce. This study quantified and identified microplastic form and polymer types from surface sediments of the Molawin River. Sediment samples were collected from the upstream, midstream, and downstream stations of the river. Isolation of microplastics was performed through a modified granulometric approach, density separation, and filtration. Stereoscopic microscopy and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) were conducted to quantify and describe microplastics and identify the polymer types based on the infrared spectrum of absorption, respectively. The highest concentration of microplastics was found in the downstream station, with an average number of 97±12 items/100 g and 47.33±11.39 items/100 g sediment dry weight in the bank and channel, respectively. The isolated microplastics were dominated by ≥100 to ≤200 μm size range. Based on stereoscopic microscopy, microfragments and microfibers were the most common microplastic type, while polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) were the polymer types identified based on FTIR analyses. This study revealed the presence of microplastics and confirmed the microplastics polymers present in the Molawin Watershed of Makiling Forest Reserve.

The further development of the analytical method for minimizing Boolean functions (BF) in the class of disjunctive normal forms by the numbers of sets of argument values, called -minimization, is proposed. Such an approach allows to reduce the process of minimizing the BF to the use of an exclusively analytical description of all its steps using functions of the number of the set of the BF argument values. In general, the idea is to develop such a toolkit that allows at all stages of the minimization process to operate only with numerical objects – Boolean vectors, not involve a visual analysis of the results of the intermediate steps, and not resort to attracting letter objects. In the future, the implementation of this idea at the software level for computers is assumed. The article consists of two parts. The first part is about calculating the Hamming distance between two Boolean vectors. Its equality to unity is a necessary and sufficient condition for gluing together the constituents of unity (zero) or elementary conjunctions (disjunctions). The Hamming distance between two sets of variable values was calculated using the Zhegalkin operation (inversion of equivalence), the distance matrix was compiled, and the abbreviated disjunctive normal form (DNF) was determined from it. From the abbreviated DNF deadlock form, and among them the minimal ones, were obtained by sorting out subsets of the set of units of the distance matrix. Deadlock forms are found by the units to which the implicants, covering all units of the set of BF values, correspond. The final result is presented, of course, in letter form. The second part of the article is devoted to the formulation and solution of the problem of minimizing BF as a problem of linear integer mathematical programming. The goal function is the arithmetic sum of all implicants of the abbreviated DNF. The system of restrictions is based on the fact that among the set of simple implicants, it is necessary to choose the smallest number of them so that all constituents of the unit of the original BF are covered. Restrictions are based on how much the constituent of a unit is covered by one or another implicant, and they are written in the form of linear inequalities through the symbol "greater than or equal to" with the right-hand sides equal to unity. The solution of the mathematical programming problem requires the use of a distance matrix. Examples of -minimization of BF are given.

Diabetic Retinopathy and Glaucoma are optic diseases that involve optic disk identification, which is a crucial phase in the current diagnostic tools that can be computerized. When these diseases are identified early by any screening applications, measures may be taken to avoid blindness. Early indicators of the numerous illness such as Macula Edema, Diabetic Retinopathy and Glaucoma are the changes in the anatomy structures in the retina of the human eye which also has the inclusion of the retinal vasculature. Of these, the Optic Disc is the most crucial feature, as its visible factors are essential for the identification of glaucoma and other disease-related assessments called Diabetic Retinopathy. In this paper, we present methods to detect the likelihood of Diabetic Retinopathy being present from fundus images. This technique starts with pre-processing on the optic retinal image to concentrate on the main area of the disease that we need to identify. Afterwards we apply Image processing algorithms to detect the optic disk. Detecting the optic disc is vital because it is the origin of all the nerves and detecting the position and radius of optic disc can be used as the reference for approximating fovea i.e. a pit like area responsible for vision. Size and shape of optic disc is responsible for diagnosing the disease. Therefore, this paper addresses the analysis of different techniques to detect the optic disc.

O treinamento desportivo escolar é uma prática essencial para o processo de formação do sujeito, sendo cada vez mais discutido no ambiente acadêmico devido aos seus benefícios para a saúde infanto-juvenil, e colocado em prática através de seus inúmeros métodos e filosofias. Ultimamente há uma gama de artigos, dissertações e teses que cooperam para o tema, sempre destacando a necessidade de sua aplicação, principalmente no que se refere ao combate às doenças e ao sedentarismo. Dessa forma, torna-se imperativo investigar, apresentar e debater alguns pontos importantes que podem fornecer subsídios para uma maior aproximação entre a teoria e a prática esportiva. Partindo de uma pesquisa de natureza qualitativa, esse estudo buscará fornecer propostas para uma pedagogia esportiva atrelada à integração e inclusão, pensando não somente no treinamento esportivo e seus benefícios para a saúde, mas também nos aspectos socioculturais. O Treinamento Desportivo Escolar colabora para a integração e cidadania dos jovens, contribui para a cultura que está diretamente atrelada à diversidade, para a saúde dos jovens, tanto no que se refere à prevenção de doenças causadas pelo sedentarismo, quanto para melhorias no sistema imunológico dos indivíduos, e até mesmo na prevenção ao uso de drogas e entorpecentes.

From 1967 until 2020, [Community] has had 85 million litres of pulp and paper mill effluent dumped every day into an estuary that borders the community. Despite long-term concerns about cancer in the community, a federal government appointed Joint Environmental Health Monitoring Committee, mandated to oversee the health of the community, has never addressed [Community] concerns. In this study we accessed the 2013 Canadian Cancer Registry microfile data, and using the standard geographical classification code, accessed the cancer data for [Community], and provided comparable data for all Nova Scotia First Nations, as well as the county, provincial, and national population level data. We determined that digestive organ cancers, respiratory organ cancers, male genital organ cancers, and urinary tract cancers are higher in [Community] than at all comparable levels. Female breast and genital organ cancers are lowest in [Community] than at all other comparable levels. We note the limitation of this study as not being able to capture cancer data for off-reserve members at the time of diagnosis and the lapse in availability of up-to-date CCR data. This study demonstrates that cancer data can be compiled for First Nation communities using the standard geographic code, and although not a comprehensive count of all diagnoses for the registered members of [Community], it is the first study to provide data for those who lived in [Community] at the time of diagnosis. Moreover, it highlights the lack of capacity (or will) by Joint Environmental Health Monitoring Committee to uphold their fiduciary duty.
