The Universal Knowledge Machine
Authors: Radley Alan
Published: February 2021

The chapter introduces a technical prescription for a universal knowledge machine (UKM), or World-Brain, a proposed global media system with the capability to encapsulate/organize/index and provide user-friendly access to all human knowledge. The goal is not to develop an artificial brain or any kind of Artificial Intelligence (AI) so-to-speak. Rather, the authors wish to build a collective intelligence repository, a vast ‘living' memory bank for everything known and in terms of a totality of knowledge emanating from each of the three worlds of physical, mental, and objective knowledge. Envisaged is a place for humanity to come together collectively and to create, capture, record, link, search, sort, filter, classify, map, granulate, aggregate, chunk, window, overview, catalogue plus communicate a vast number, and great variety, of ideas, facts, claims, variants, data, texts, theories, images, happenings, and opinions. The goal is nothing less than a grand unification of all knowledge such that items are endlessly visible, explorable, linkable, navigable, etc.
Socio-Technical Attack Approximation Based on Structural Virality of Information in Social Networks
Authors: Ranjan Preetish , Vaish Abhishek
Published: February 2021

A free and easily accessible platform for sharing information over social media has its negatives. It is being misused to intimidate others by exploiting the trust factor inherent within it. This paper is on the persistent pursuit of offering an exquisite solution to address this possible misuse of social media also called STAs and their subsequent impacts on society. These attacks are very sensitive to society and often organized groups with a high skill set are involved to disguise the security agencies. In this work, a model has been proposed to approximate socio-technical attack subject to the structural virality of information in the social network. The work is unique in the sense that previous works are mostly based on statistical values of the network but the proposed work considers the latent structure of the network which is not being reflected from their statistical values. This also paves the way for future researchers to implant other hidden features of nodes and messages circulating within the network which could be helpful for the detection and mitigation of STAs.

Sparse Coding for Brain Tumor Segmentation Based on the Non-Linear Features
Authors: Sandhya G. , Srinag Amalapurapu , Pantangi Ganesh Babu , Kanaparthi Joel Abhishek
Published: February 2021

The main aim of brain Magnetic Resonance Image (MRI) segmentation is to extractthe significant objects like tumors for better diagnosis and proper treatment. As the brain tumors are distinct in the sense of shapes, location, and intensity it is hard to define a general algorithm for the tumor segmentation. Accurate extraction of tumors from the brain MRIs is a challenging task due to the complex anatomical structure of brain tissues in addition to the existence of intensity inhomogeneity, partial volume effects, and noise. In this paper, a method of Sparse coding based on non-linear features is proposed for the tumor segmentation from MR images of the brain. Initially, first and second-order statistical eigenvectors of 3 × 3 size are extracted from the MRIs then the process of Sparse coding is applied to them. The kernel dictionary learning algorithm is employed to obtain the non-linear features from these processed vectors to build two individual adaptive dictionaries for healthy and pathological tissues. This work proposes dictionary learning based kernel clustering algorithm to code the pixels, and then the target pixelsare classified by utilizing the method of linear discrimination. The proposed technique is applied to several tumor MRIs, taken from the BRATS database. This technique overcomes the problem of linear inseparability produced by the high level intensity similarity between the normal and abnormal tissues of the given brain image. All the performance parameters are high for the proposed technique. Comparison of the results with some other existing methods such as Fuzzy – C- Means (FCM), Hybrid k-Mean Graph Cut (HKMGC) and Neutrosophic Set – Expert Maximum Fuzzy Sure Entropy (NS-EMFSE) demonstrates that the proposed sparse coding method is effective in segmenting the brain tumor regions.

Published: February 2021

In this work, the effect of carbon on the electrochemical properties of multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) functionalized Lithium iron manganese phosphate was studied. In an attempt to provide insight into the structural and electronic properties of optimized electrode materials a systematic study based on a combination of structural and spectroscopic techniques. The phosphor-olivine LiFe0.5Mn0.5PO4, was synthesized via a simple microwave synthesis using LiFePO4 and LiMnPO4 as precursors. Cyclic voltammetry was used to evaluate the electrochemical parameters (electron transfer and ionic diffusivity) of the LiFe0.5Mn0.5PO4 redox couples. The redox potentials show two separate distinct redox peaks that correspond to Mn2+/Mn3+ (4.1 V vs Li/Li+) and Fe2+/Fe3+ (3.5 V vs Li/Li+) due to interaction arrangement of Fe-O-Mn in the olivine lattice. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) results showed LiFe0.5Mn0.5PO4-MWCNTs having high conductivity with reduced charge resistance. This result demonstrates that MWCNTs stimulates faster electron transfer and stability for the LiFe0.5Mn0.5PO4 framework, which demonstrates favorable as a host material for Li+ ions.

Published: February 2021

This study focused on the feasibility of utilizing waste rubber tyre as coarse aggregate in concrete as a partial replacement of brick aggregate (BA). Within this context, fresh and hardened properties were investigated on concrete made with three different percentage replacements (0, 10 and 20% by volume) of BA by waste rubber tyre aggregate (WRTA). The WRTA was washed with tap water (H2O) and treated with 20% sodium hydroxide (NaOH) for 2 hours. It was found that the workability and dry density of concrete decrease with an increasing percentage of WRTA. In case of mechanical properties, the compressive strength decreases with the increasing content of both treated and untreated WRTA. The maximum decrease was observed for 20% of both treated and untreated WRTA, which was 41-46% for treated and 47-54% for untreated lower than the reference concrete for all curing ages. It was observed that the concrete made with tyre treated with NaOH provides better strength than untreated tyre aggregate. This behavior could be attributed to the better bonding between cement paste and rubber aggregates as a result of the increased surface roughness by NaOH.

This document it is established that 2 types of biogas anaerobic digester that usually found in developing country. First type is fixed dome type of anaerobic digester and secondly is floating drum biogas anaerobic digester. Both of this type have draw back that the anaerobic process is not completed with agitation process that yield low rate of biogas production. Other serious problem is the release of slurry cannot optimal. Some of the slurry will still remain stay in the anaerobic digester especially scum. To drain and cleaning the fixed dome or floating drum biogas anaerobic digester is mandatory to be done regularly that consume time and cost. The fixed dome types as well as floating drum type are usually not portable which cause no possibility to relocate in the new site. It is the purpose of this work to introduce portable biogas anaerobic digester that suitable for developing country with volume of digester around 500 liter of slurry. The requirement of agitator is facilitated, and the anaerobic digester is possible to be operated in batch system or continuous system. The material that is used for anaerobic digester is stainless steel 304 with tungsten inert gas welding technology that is used for the manufacturing. With this design the anaerobic digester are easy to be maintenance. The batch system can keep producing biogas until 52 day with total production of biogas around 3320 liters. The continuous system was conducted by releasing for about 5 liters slurry from the outlet and after that filled with new slurry with stirring with agitator was conducted for about 10 minutes for 3 times in a day (morning, noon, and evening). The result for continuous system is a linear biogas production with rate biogas production is around 51.7 liter/day (1550 liter/30days).

HODNOTENIE OHROZENOSTI MÄKKÝCH CIEĽOV A JEHO APLIKÁCIA NA OBJEKT ŽELEZNIČNEJ STANICE
Authors: Szatmári Michal , Leitner Bohus
Published: February 2021

Železničné stanice je možné označiť za miesta s hromadným výskytom ľudí a neustálou frekvenciou pohybu, ale súčasne s nedostatočnou úrovňou ochrany. V bezpečnostnej komunite sa pre takéto objekty začal používať termín mäkké ciele. V posledných rokoch sa stali častým objektom teroristických útokov. Hrozba útokov na mäkké ciele sa v súčasnosti realizuje hlavne prostredníctvom ich zraniteľnosti resp. slabých miest v systéme. V podmienkach Slovenskej republiky, ale aj v ďalších krajinách sveta, neexistuje všeobecne platná metóda efektívnej ochrany mäkkých cieľov a hodnotením ich ohrozenosti a z toho vyplývajúcich metód a techník pre ich ochranu. Napríklad metodika hodnotenia ohrozenosti mäkkého cieľa, platná v podmienkach Českej republiky, je voľne dostupná pre verejnosť. Na základe princípov a postupov definovaných v uvedenej metodike je možné kvantifikovať mieru ohrozenosti dopravných terminálov, ako sú napríklad železničné stanice. Hlavným cieľom článku je demonštrovať možnosti využitia metodiky hodnotenia ohrozenosti mäkkých cieľov na kvantitatívne vyhodnotenie úrovne ohrozenosti železničnej stanice a takýmto spôsobom pomôcť efektívne zvýšiť úroveň prevádzkovej bezpečnosti železničných staníc a osôb v nich.

Making a Connection between Student Achievement, Teacher Accountability, and Quality Classroom Instruction
Authors: Ballard Kelli , Bates Alan
Published: February 2021

The importance of standardized test results is becoming more prevalent in the structure of classroom instruction and the operation of schools throughout the nation due to pressure on educators and students from various levels of authority. This study looks at the relationship between classroom instruction and standardized test content and the effects this has on students, parents, and teachers. Seventeen fourth grade students, fourteen parents of fourth graders, and fifteen elementary teachers completed surveys. The study describes several positive and negative aspects to standardized tests, along with ideas of who is responsible for test performance. Standardized tests provide comparisons and are a tool for improvement. Too much emphasis is placed on high stakes test along with unrealistic expectations for some. The results indicate that ongoing assessment is effective for measuring student learning and teacher effectiveness.

A qualitative analysis (The Empirical Phenomenological Psychological method) of interviews involving eight patients (depression, burn-out syndrome, and chronic pain) was carried out in order to obtain knowledge regarding the effects of flotation tank therapy. This knowledge might be helpful for both professionals and potential floaters. The analysis resulted in 21 categories, which were summarized as four themes: (a) experiences during flotation, (b) perceived effects afterwards, (c) technical details, and finally (d) the participants ́ background, motivation, and expectations. Floating was perceived as pleasant. An altered state of consciousness was induced, varying from a milder state including profound relaxation and altered time perception, to more powerful with perceptual changes and profound sensations such as out-o f-body experience s and perinatal experiences.
Keeping and Using Reflective Journals in the Qualitative Research Process
Authors: Ortlipp Michelle
Published: February 2021

The problem of bias in qualitative research particularly is still debated in methodology texts and there is a lack of agreement on how much researcher influence is acceptable, whether or not it needs to be “controlled,” and how it might be accounted for. Denzin (1994) refers to this as “the interpretive crisis” (p. 501). I chose to make my experiences, opinions, thoughts, and feelings visible and an acknowledged part of the research process through keeping reflective journals and using them in writing up the research. The aim of this paper is to show how reflective journals were used in engaging with the notion of creating transparency in the research process, and explore the impact of critical self-reflection on research design.
Femininity, Masculinity, and Body Image Issues among College-Age Women: An In-Depth and Written Interview Study of the Mind-Body Dichotomy
Authors: Leavy Patricia , Gnong Andrea , Ross Lauren
Published: February 2021

In this article we investigate college-age womens body image issues in the context of dominant femininity and its polarization of the mind and body. We use original data collected through seven in-depth interviews and 32 qualitative written interviews with college-age women and men. We coded the data thematically applying feminist approaches to the analysis. We conclude that the current standard of femininity disproportionately associates womens worth with their bodies. Differing from literature that suggests femininity is associated with physicality and masculinity is not, our research suggests that masculinity is also partly associated with physicality, but in a way that is linked to power and does not reduce masculinity to only physicality.

Authors:   Institute of Business Management, Khan Gulwish
Published: February 2021

Objective: To explore and identify factors attributing towards the rising divorce rate in Pakistan and its consequences. Materials and methods: In-depth semi structured interviews were conducted from 17 divorced participants, five out of which were males. The participants were chosen from Karachi, Lahore, Peshawar and Islamabad. Interviews were conducted via email, telephone and face-to-face meeting. Results: Findings from the interviews highlighted partner violence, sexual dysfunction, in-laws interference and temperamental incompatibility were the most common causes of divorce. Moreover, consequences of divorce included depression and loneliness, and financial and accommodation issues. It was further found that it was difficult for the divorcees to judge and trust the new person requesting marriage proposal. Another major problem found was the child custody in which usually the males have to give up their children to their mothers. Finally, it was found that children too have to go through psychological issues after their parents separate. Conclusions: Divorce is an unwanted and undesired act of termination of marriage which brings a flood of financial, social and personal issues to divorcees. Divorce has adverse consequences on both males and females such as financial crisis, psychological issues and emotional breakdown. Children suffer emotionally in the absence of either of parents.

Infectious intussusception syndrome (IIS) is a serious problem, causing severe economic losses in farmed channel catfish Ictalurus punctatus. Limited information is available on Hafnia alvei as a causal agent for this disease. In this study, a virulent strain, temporarily named HN01, was isolated from diseased channel catfish suffering from infectious intussusception syndrome, and identified through phylogenetic analysis and phenotypic characteristics. A phylogenetic tree was constructed to examine isolate HN01 and compare it to other known isolates. Isolate HN01 has also been found to be susceptible to aminoglycosides, quinolones and sulfonamides drugs for veterinary use in aquaculture when screened against a range of common antibiotics. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of infectious intussusception syndrome caused by Hafnia alvei in farmed channel catfish.

Published: February 2021

Kerusakan lingkungan hidup mendapatkan perhatian yang sangat serius dari semua pihak. Kekristenan juga perlu merumuskan suatu “penggembalaan” bagi lingkungan hidup demi berlangsungnya kehidupan. Ada beberapa kontroversi pengajaran yang merasa tidak perlu terlalu memfokuskan diri pada pemulihan lingkungan hidup, sementara yang lainnya mengajarkan pemeliharaan lingkungan hidup, tetapi “setengah hati” melaksanakannya. Tulisan ini mengulas bagaimana seharusnya pandangan Kristen tentang Lingkungan Hidup, serta bagaimana praktis implementasi “pelayanan” terhadap lingkungan hidup tersebut.

Environmental damage is getting very serious attention from all parties. Christianity also needs to formulate a "shepherding" for the environment for the sake of life. There are some teaching controversies that feel no need to focus too much on environmental recovery, while others teach environmental preservation, but "half-heartedly" carry it out. This paper reviews how Christians should view the Environment, and how practical the implementation of "service" to the environment.

Pastoral Konseling Menurut Yehezkiel 34:16 Sebagai Upaya pemulihan Mental
Authors: Pattinama Yenny Anita
Published: February 2021

Pada hakikatnya, setiap manusia dalam kehidupannya dimanapun ia berada pasti memiliki masalah dan pergumulan. Pastoral konseling mengajarkan mereka untuk mampu berdamai dengan Allah, diri sendiri, dan juga orang lain. Dengan melakukan pelayanan pastoral konseling juga dapat menyadarkan mahasiswa-mahasiswi yang bermasalah akan pelanggaran yang dilakukan, kemudian mengakui setiap perbuatannya yang salah dihadapan Tuhan, dan dapat menerima pengampunan dan memulai suatu kehidupan yang baru. Dengan demikian seorang konselor dapat menolong setiap konseli untuk mengalami pemulihan mental dan memahami tindakannya salah yang pernah diperbuatnya serta melakukan langkah-langkah untuk menata kehidupannya menjadi lebih baik.

In essence, every human being in his life wherever he is must have problems and struggles. Pastoral counseling teaches them to be able to make peace with God, themselves, and also others. Conducting pastoral counseling services can also awaken students who have problems with violations committed, then acknowledge any wrongdoing before God, and can receive forgiveness and start a new life. Thus a counselor can help each counselee to experience mental recovery and understand the wrong actions he had ever done and take steps to organize his life for the better.

Abstract
Objective: The purpose of this study is to find out awareness levels about legislation/authorization and objectives of autopsy amongst the general public, in addition to their opinions about the topic based on the different levels of education.
Methods: A cross-sectional questionnaire-based study design was implemented to collect data on their knowledge, perceptions and concerns regarding autopsy from a sample population of 260 citizens aged 18 and above from all educational backgrounds of District South Karachi, Pakistan.
Results: Out of total respondents 47.1% (n=122) fell within the age range of 18-25. Males were 41.7% (n=106) and females were 56.3% (n=143) in the study. Out of the 82% (n=208) who marked “Yes” to knowing the meaning of autopsy, 55.3% (n=115) of the respondents belonged to high educational level, 44.7% (n=93) belonged to low educational level. Only 44.7% (n=93) participants correctly knew the purpose for conducting an autopsy. For concerns regarding autopsy a vast majority of respondents marked “Organ removal” (21.7%, n=135) and “Disfigurement of body” (18.3%, n=114) as the top two concerns across regardless of educational level.
Conclusion: Although most people held positive perception of autopsy, in depth questioning revealed a clear lack of correct information amongst the general public regarding autopsies. This has led to many falsely held beliefs including fear of body disfigurement and organ removal and less faith in the medicolegal system, irrespective of educational background.

Local Election often makes the bureaucratic apparatus face a dilemma, between being neutral or being involved in politics. Ideally and based on the rules of law, bureaucracy requeired to behave professional and neutral from politics. Despite that in reality it is difficult fot the bureaucratic aparatur to be neutral, moreover when they faced with the temptations and pressures of power. This article highlights the involvement of bureaucracy on local election in Konawe Selatan District, by outlining the modes of bureaucratic involvement, and identifying factors of bureaucratic involvement. This study found that the bureaucrats involved in the Lokal Election were state civil servants and village government officials. Factors that encourage bureaucratic involvement are: the status of incumbent regional head candidates who remain active during the implementation of the elections, the lure of promotion for the bureaucratic apparatus, weak sanctions by the State civil apparatus commission and regional head candidates, and weak supervision and enforcement of election supervisory agencies (Bawaslu and ranks).
DANO EXTRAPATRIMONIAL E O DIREITO DO TRABALHO
Authors: Pedralli Farias Andriele Karine
Published: February 2021

A reparação indenizatória do dano moral, consequência do assédio sofrido no ambiente de trabalho, é um recurso indispensável e de incontestável importância para permitir a necessária compensação para violação moral, física ou psíquica sofrida pelo trabalhador.  O presente artigo traz, contudo, um contraponto: estamos diante da utilização consciente das ações indenizatórias em face da violação dos direitos da personalidade, ou estamos utilizando de forma trivial e banalizada o instituto do “dano moral”? A Reforma trabalhista abre um novo cenário inserindo na CLT os artigos 223-A e seguintes para tratar das ações cujo objeto seja o dano extrapatrimonial. Não somente no que se refere ao dano moral, mas de uma forma geral, a Lei nº 13.467/2017 parece propor o ajuizamento de ações de forma mais consciente, ou a sua consequência: arcar com as despesas processuais, como por exemplo honorários de sucumbência e periciais, uma inovação na Justiça do Trabalho - palco no qual a gratuidade da Justiça para os trabalhadores sempre imperou; ou até mesmo incorrer nas penas de litigância de má-fé,  face ao abuso do direito constitucional de ação.
