Authors: Mohd Din Shamzani Affendy , Othman Rashidi , Nik Yahya Nik Nurul Hidayah
Published: November 2021

Haze episode has always becomes the one of the common reasons for emergency closing of school. Unique approach had been used to collect and examine the toxic metal of the respirable and inhalable dust by combining the latest personal cyclone and seven-hole head sampler together with the latest spectrometer of inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) in a single framework. Iron is found significantly different with the highest concentration at 107.895 ng m-3. The mean ranges of metal in respirable dust found in educational institutions are between 0.005 and 78.629 ng m-3. The findings of this research seen the amount of respirable dust exceeds more than 21.13 per cent than inhalable dust. Analysed metals found are not exceeding the ambient air exposure limit established by Department of Environment Malaysia. Hence, it is understood that the outdoor atmospheric environments of Malaysian educational institutions are non-hazardous for both visitors and occupiers (students and personnel). The high level of iron signify that it is safe for the crossing of children to have a traffic light in front of the school, but the idling of motor vehicles emitted more pollutant that risks health of the school children, teachers and officers. These suggest that when there are schools, there shall be constructed of flyover crossing for long term solution or with certain distance to traffic sources.

Published: November 2021

Ever since the first establishment of the public school (primary and secondary school) in Malaysia, the building design for most of the schools is almost the same until now. Public school for primary and secondary education is based on a standard layout designed by the Malaysian Public Works Department. Evolution of varieties education system employed by the schools does not affect the physical design of school. The emergence of awareness on sustainability and promotion towards green way of life has made it crucial for designer to rethink the best design for school in enhancing its environment that could be the “third teacher” to the pupils. The research attempt to explore design criteria of green school in Malaysia based on the critical elements of green initiatives. Recommendation of green/eco school design will be presented based on site and building planning, climate and green technology application

Published: November 2021

Home ownership creates stability and improves the quality of life of the disabled communities. As Malaysia approaches the developed status and the high – income economy by 2020, the housing industry needs to be adaptive to the demands for special groups. Universal homes incorporate universal design principles, resulting in a living environment that can be adapted to virtually any user’s long term comfort, safety and ease. The aim of this paper is to study on the preferences and level of satisfaction on design factor in owning residential property among the disabled community in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor. A questionnaire survey was conducted on a sample of 800 respondents. The respondents were selected from the disabled community, focusing on two categories of disabilities, physical and visual impairment. The outcome of this study shows that disabled people prefer houses which are complete with design that accommodates residents’ physical limitations. For design elements of their residential property, this study found that the disabled people are satisfied with the provision of ramp to access into the building, while their satisfaction on design for the low physical effort scored at seventh place. The study concludes with two housing recommendations: to provide at least the minimum requirement of universal design in all upcoming projects and to provide home modification scheme.

Authors: Abdul Rahim Asiah , Qureshi Sara Latif
Published: November 2021

This paper is a review of IBS implementation in Malaysia and Singapore. It investigates the limitations and opportunities in implementation of IBS in Malaysia and Singapore. In Malaysia, Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) defines Industrialised Building System (IBS) as a construction technique in which components are manufactured in a controlled environment (either onsite or offsite), then transported, positioned and installed into a structure with less additional onsite works. Content analysis is the method adopted in this study. Data is collected from books, journal articles, annual reports and newspaper articles. Studies show that IBS contributes many benefits including labour reduction, cleaner and neater sites, easy installation, fast completion, enhancement of quality finished products and flexibility. Construction industries in countries like Singapore and Malaysia have shifted the construction methods from conventional to prefabrication. In Malaysia, Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) is still promoting IBS in the private sector, whereas, government sector has successfully adopted IBS. However, in Singapore, Housing and Development Board (HDB) has implemented prefabrication in its construction industry. IBS has many benefits but with these benefits there are some limitations and hindrances as IBS is not widely adopted. This study highlights the benefits and challenges to overcome for the improvement in the implementation of IBS.

Memes são artefatos cada vez mais importantes na dinâmica comunicacional da cibercultura. Eles nos possibilitam diferentes formas de compreender o mundo a partir da autoria em rede. Sua amplitude e propagação na internet tornam-se uma espécie de termômetro da opinião pública a respeito de múltiplos temas, fatos ou acontecimentos. Expressos em diferentes linguagens digitais (áudios, gifs, imagens, vídeos), fazem sucesso nas redes sociais digitais, nas salas de aulas, presenciais e remotas, no #MUSEUdeMEMES, um museu on-line, derivado de um projeto da Universidade Federal Fluminense - UFF. Neste contexto, o objetivo do artigo é analisar a atuação do #MUSEUdeMEMES na educação, inovação e divulgação científica, promovendo aprendizagens na cibercultura. O método usado foi o qualitativo, de cunho descritivo e analítico e a técnica de análise dos dados foi a da análise de conteúdo. O artigo conclui que a ambiência comunicacional da cibercultura tem permitido a reconfiguração de diferentes fenômenos no contexto digital e que, neste ciberespaço museal, é possível experimentar uma série de vivências que perpassam as presencialidades, entre o físico e o on-line, as subjetividades e as performances culturais.

Authors: Pantoja Leandro de Freitas , Custódio Elivaldo Serrão
Published: November 2021

O presente trabalho tem por objetivo trazer reflexões acerca da educação do campo e seus reflexos no contexto amapaense, mais precisamente sobre o Distrito do Anauerapucu localizado na zona rural de Santana-AP, com destaque para a Escola Estadual Francisco de Oliveira Filho. A investigação orientou-se no paradigma qualitativo, através do método de abordagem indutiva, bem como através de pesquisa bibliográfica e documental. As técnicas utilizadas para coleta de dados foram observações in situ, registros fotográficos e diálogos informais - alunos, professores e moradores locais mais antigos - como forma de investigação. Os resultados revelam certo distanciamento entre o discurso, teorias e ações no espaço escolar. As questões que norteiam o debate sobre Educação do Campo não têm ecoado no seio da comunidade, assim como há uma extrema necessidade de fomento de políticas públicas na formação continuada de professores, estrutura física adequada, bem como material didático específico.

Representing the Incomprehensible
Authors: Byer Tia
Published: November 2021

Criticism of Michael Herr’s Dispatches (2015) and Don DeLillo’s Falling Man (2007) can be divided into two mainstream interpretations. On the one hand, they are both marked as psychic trauma texts. Herr’s writing of Dispatches can be read as a therapeutic process that allows him to deal with his trauma experienced as a war correspondent during the Vietnam War. The intimate and domestic trauma in DeLillo’s Falling Man focuses on the disconnected lives of a couple and their child in the wake of the attacks on the World Trade Center. On the other hand, critics have aligned each text with the national trauma narrative. This article aligns itself with the latter interpretation. I propose, through a postmodern reading, that the national trauma narrated in both Dispatches and Falling Man is an example of Lyotard’s “incredulity toward metanarratives” (xxix). I argue that both texts represent the failure of the metanarrative of American Exceptionalism; the ideology that defines the essence of America as the embodiment of “supremacy” and “power”. Narrative fails in each text when the nature of each conflict deconstructs this metanarrative of national identity. This deconstruction arises from the way conflict appears to alienate Herr as author, and DeLillo’s characters from preconceived notions of knowledge. As a result of this, both authors explore the fictive nature of the human condition to present the national trauma caused by each conflict.

Published: November 2021

Newly installed 3.6m DOT at Nainital (Uttarakhand) is a novel facility for the time domain astronomy. Because of the longitudinal advantage of India, it could be used to study new transients reported by a global network of robotic telescopes. Observations with the 4K × 4K CCD Imager at the axial port of the 3.6m DOT will be very helpful in the near future towards understanding the different physical aspects of time-critical events, e.g., Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), Supernovae, Gravitational wave candidates, etc. Using the Imager with broadband filters (Bessel UBVRI and SDSS ugriz), ~6.5' × 6.5' images could be obtained to attempt various science goals in synergy with other multi-band facilities. In this study, we present an analysis of unpublished R-band data of GRB 171205A/SN 2017iuk spanning between ~12 to 105 days since burst, that observed using the 3.6m DOT with 4K × 4K CCD Imager. In the R-band light curve, a bump appears to start from ~3 days, which shows the peak at ~15 days after the burst, clearly indicates photometric evidence of association of SN with GRB 171205A.

Performance Evaluation of a Multi-Hop Cluster Based Algorithm for Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks
Authors: Thakur Poonam
Published: November 2021

Abstract: Vehicular ad hoc networks are characterized as the ad hoc networks with dynamic and dense network topology which faces issues like routing, data congestion, and overhead. One technique which has proved to be useful in managing VANETs is clustering. Clustering is a technique to divide the network into smaller, distributed and more stable hierarchical structure. The parameters like speed, position, distance, direction and mobility are used for clustering the networks. Clustering helps in load balancing, improving scalability, efficient resource allocation and reducing overhead. In this paper a multi-hop cluster-based algorithm (MhCA) for VANET is proposed which uses Fuzzy TOPSIS for CH selection based on Rank Index of nodes. The flowchart of the algorithm along with the description of the algorithm is given below in the paper. Extensive simulation experiments are run using the ns3 and SUMO to evaluate & compare the performance of proposed algorithm with the existing multi-hop algorithms like VMaSC and n-hop. Keywords: CH, CM, CH Change Duration, CH Duration, OSM, NS3.

Cash Dividends as A Signal to Broker-Dealer Firms
Authors: Oniha Kelly
Published: November 2021

Abstract: Using multivariate regression analysis complemented with simple linear regression, I find that not only do current fiscal year brokerage, clearing, and Exchange expenses affect commission and fees (CE) paid to the broker but also prior brokerage, clearing, and Exchange expenses (BCE). Also, I find that Cash dividends are positively correlated with BCE expenses as well as CE fees. This result is particularly interesting because it implies that brokers can influence commission and fees by affecting the BCE expenses. This might also provide further reasons for agency problems to take place. Overall, this paper contributes to the existing literature on the behavior of brokers and dealers and how they influence the stock market.
Cash Holdings, Commercial Paper and Liquidity
Authors: Oniha Kelly
Published: November 2021

Abstract: Managing Liquidity has seldom been being as vital as it has during the Covid-19 era. The financial impact of Covid-19 has left many firms on the brink of liquidation. This paper explores the effect cash holdings has had on Profitability of the firm and how it compares with commercial paper between the pre-Covid-19 era and the Covid-19 era. This paper employs and compares the ordinary least square regression between these eras. I find that firms are less liquid during the Covid-19 period compared to the pre-covid period. More importantly, I find that Liquidity has been more critical to a firm's Profitability during Covid-19 era compared to pre-covid 19 periods. Furthermore, Cash holdings represent a significant chunk of Liquidity. However, these Cash holdings dropped by a little in the covid-19 era. Finally, I find that both commercial paper and cash holdings are used as complements. However, this result is weakly supported during the pre-covid period.

Optimization Technique for Reducing Energy Consumption of Rapid Transit Mode
Authors: Yadav Dhiraj Devendra
Published: November 2021

Abstract: Since the time, our mother earth was created, energy was taken from the universe(System),now energy is being depleted as non-renewable source. Energy can neither be created nor be destroyed as it transforms in one form to another. So researchers came up with renewable source of energy as the solution like solar, wind and tidal waves. The world is experiencing an energy crisis and the prices of petroleum products like petrol and diesel has gone up. So its time to come forward and save the future of our mother earth. The paper deals in reducing energy consumption of rail rapid transit mode i.e. of metro. It shows how driving behaviour can be controlled using optimized speed profile and efficiency can be managed. It states round trip data taken of Mumbai(India) metro from Versova to Ghatkopar and viceversa. Speed data was taken from GPS(Global Postioning System) embedded in Smart watch Software. Time interval was noted and distance, acceleration data was formulated using Newtons Equations of Motion. Energy Consumed was drawn out from tractive effort data. Then efficiency, energy lost and regenerative braking energy was calculated using Work Energy Theorem. Maximum efficiency of 88.27% was obtained between Asalpha to Jagruti Nagar Station while between Western Express Highway to Andheri Station a 72.66% efficiency was analysed. This affects the time interval of metro trains arriving at station, also the amount of boarding and alighting passengers from the train. A model was designed and simulated using results obtained. The paper also deals with the prototype of Regenerative energy which can either be used in braking systems but also for acceleration and cruising purpose. The idea can benefit a developing country like India where 6.3% GDP is from Transportation Industry. Keywords: optimized speed profile, efficiency, regenerative braking energy

En psicología, la evaluación a través de escalas de autorreporte es un tema central. Para emplearlas adecuadamente deben contar con determinadas características de validez y confiabilidad; sin embargo, ello no garantiza que se interpreten fuera del prejuicio o el sentido común, llegando, como en el caso de la evaluación de la violencia en las relaciones de pareja (VRP), a culpabilizar o revictimizar a las mujeres víctimas. El presente escrito tiene por objetivo ilustrar algunos de las problemáticas generadas al analizar de manera descontextualizada la VRP. Se analizan algunas situaciones de violencia descritas por hombres y mujeres mexicanos de diferentes grupos de procedencia con puntajes similares de VRP. Las violencias referidas por hombres y mujeres son diversas, permeadas por cuestiones de género; se propone el análisis con perspectiva de género para evitar procesos de revictimización al medir fenómenos como éste.

Following a library research method, with the corpus consisting of fourteen stories and one poem derived from fifteen books, the findings of this study show that: most works of Islamic literature are designed for fluent readers; the presentation of Islamic literature is dominated by Middle East and Western writers; and the Western writers are not always sensitive to the symbols glorified by Muslim English learners in Indonesia. As to deal with the above findings, this study proposes a conceptual model consisting of input, process, and output elements. Not only does the proposed model strengthen the position of Islamic literature, but it also integrates the Islamic literature into English language teaching so that it could reach both fluent readers and beginning readers. The output of the proposed model, abridged and unabridged texts of the Islamic literature, can be utilized to teach vocabulary, grammar, the four basic skills of language, and Islamic values.Â

Covid-19 entered Indonesia around March 2020, having an impact on economic growth. Indonesia during 2020 minus 2.07 percent of its economy. This economic decline was caused by Covid-19 which had an impact on the economic activities of residents. Throughout 2020 the government issued 4 series of Sukuk, retail Sukuk SR0012 and SR013, savings Sukuk series ST007 and finally retail Sukuk waqf SWR001. The purchase realization of SR012 was IDR 12,142 trillion, and SR013 was IDR 25,667 trillion. Then ST007, the funds that were collected were Rp. 5.18 trillion and the retail Sukuk waqf series SWR001 as much as Rp. 14.91 billion. Despite the minus economy, the Sukuk is still in demand by the Indonesian people. For own contribution, retail Sukuk funds are used for infrastructure development such as bridges, Hajj boarding buildings, construction of railroads, and others. Meanwhile, savings Sukuk are allocated for economic recovery and eligible green projects. Finally, retail waqf Sukuk is used for financing social activities and empowering people, such as the construction of an eye hospital for the poor and others.

The phenomenon of consumption levels in Indonesia is an important concern today. This is suspected or proven by non-economic economic factors. In this study, the factors that become exogenous variables in the observation include per capita income, interest rates, population and zakat distribution. This analysis uses descriptive and associative methods to fully describe each variable and also the relationship between exogenous variables and endogenous variables in the form of consumption levels. The data used is in the form of a data panel with data crosses six times with observation time from 2013 to 2018. The results of this study indicate that partially per capita income, population and zakat have a positive and significant effect on the level of household consumption in Indonesia. Meanwhile, the interest rate has a negative and significant effect on the Household Consumption Level in Indonesia.

Dual Activation of Estrogen Receptor Alpha and Glucocorticoid Receptor Upregulate CRTh2-Mediated Type 2 Inflammation; Mechanism Driving Asthma Severity in Women?
Authors: Palikhe Nami Shrestha , Vijeyakumaran Meerah , Fortunato Jenna , Solomon Lauren , Vliagoftis Harissios , Cameron Lisa
Published: November 2021

Background: Type 2-high asthma is characterized by elevated
levels of circulating Th2 cells and eosinophils, cells that express
chemoattractant-homologous receptor expressed on Th2 cells (CRTh2).
Severe asthma is more common in women than men; however, the underlying
mechanism(s) remain elusive. Here we examined whether the relationship
between severe asthma and type 2 inflammation differs by sex and if
estrogen influences Th2 cell response to glucocorticoid (GC).
Methods: Type 2 inflammation and the proportion of blood Th2
cells (CD4 CRTh2 ) were assessed
in whole blood from subjects with asthma (n = 66). The effects of GC and
estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) agonist on in vitro differentiated
Th2 cells were examined. Expression of CRTh2, type 2 cytokines and
degree of apoptosis (Annexin V , 7-AAD) were
determined by flow cytometry, qRT-PCR, western blot and ELISA.
Results: In severe asthma, the proportion of circulating Th2
cells and hospitalizations were higher in women than men. Women with
severe asthma also had more Th2 cells and serum IL-13 than women with
mild/moderate asthma. Th2 cells, eosinophils and CRTh2 mRNA correlated
with clinical characteristics associated with asthma control in women
but not men. In vitro, GC and ERα agonist treated Th2 cells
exhibited less apoptosis, more CRTh2 as well as IL-5 and IL-13 following
CRTh2 activation than Th2 cells treated with GC alone.
Conclusion: Women with severe asthma had higher levels of
circulating Th2 cells than men, which may be due to estrogen modifying
the effects of GC, enhancing Th2 cell survival and type 2 cytokine
production. (249)

Published: November 2021

The purpose of this paper is to empirically examine the relationship between brand experience, brand strength, and electronic word of mouth along with mediating role of perceived brand value. A total of 308 responses were generated, using an electronic questionnaire. The data was deductively analyzed using reliability, validity, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and structural equation modeling (SEM). The results of this study indicate that brand experiences positively influence brand strength and electronic word of mouth. Moreover, the results revealed the partial mediation of customer perceived value in the relationship of brand experience and brand strength and also in the relationship between brand experience and electronic word of mouth. This study explains how restaurants can create electronic word of mouth and increased brand strength through memorable experiences. This study provides insight beyond marketing mix elements, and ad theatrical elements which provide evidence for positive customer value perception increased brand strength, and widely generated word of mouth. The theatrical elements of serving food studied in this research have not been studied before in the context of Pakistani restaurants. Therefore, this study bridges the gap between previous studies.
On the effectiveness of Gated Echo State Networks for data exhibiting long-term dependencies
Authors: Di Sarli , Gallicchio Claudio , Micheli Alessio
Published: November 2021

In the context of recurrent neural networks, gated architectures such as the GRU have contributed to the development of highly accurate machine learning models that can tackle long-term dependencies in the data. However, the training of such networks is performed by the expensive algorithm of gradient descent with backpropagation through time. On the other hand, reservoir computing approaches such as Echo State Networks (ESNs) can produce models that can be trained efficiently thanks to the use of fixed random parameters, but are not ideal for dealing with data presenting long-term dependencies. We explore the problem of employing gated architectures in ESNs from both theoretical and empirical perspectives. We do so by deriving and evaluating a necessary condition for the non-contractivity of the state transition function, which is important to overcome the fading-memory characterization of conventional ESNs. We find that using pure reservoir computing methodologies is not sufficient for effective gating mechanisms, while instead training even only the gates is highly effective in terms of predictive accuracy.

Published: November 2021

Objectives

To investigate the effects of long-term use of the lower lingual arch (LLA) on the sagittal and vertical positions of the permanent lower incisors and first molars.

Materials and Methods

The sample consisted of 98 patients who were treated with an LLA (LLA group) and 39 patients who were treated without an LLA (no-LLA group). The positional changes of the lower incisors and first molars were analyzed after performing mandibular structural superimpositions on lateral cephalometric radiographs taken before treatment (T1) and at the end of LLA therapy (T2). The mean ages at T1 and T2 were 8.5 years and 13.2 years, respectively. Study casts were analyzed to quantify arch dimensional changes.

Results

Mesial movement of the lower molar cusp was similar between the LLA and no-LLA groups, but the vertical position was slightly greater at T2 in the LLA group. In the LLA group, there was a molar tip-back effect, and the lower incisors were proclined 4.2° more than in the no-LLA group. Arch perimeter decreased 3.6 ± 2.6 mm without an LLA and 0.97 ± 3.7 mm with an LLA. Intercanine and intermolar widths both increased about 1 mm more with an LLA (P < .0001).

Conclusions

The LLA does not seem to restrict mesial movement and vertical eruption of the lower incisors and molars in the long term. The LLA effectively preserves the arch perimeter at the expense of a slight lower incisor proclination.
Krigsseilere i fred: De som ble glemt og det som ble husket
Authors: Rosendahl Bjørn Tore
Published: November 2021

During the Second World War, the merchant fleet and its seafarers represented Norway’s most significant contribution to the Allied war effort. However, lack of recognition has in many ways defined the post-war era of the “war sailors”, as the wartime seafarers are called in Scandinavia. Publicity is a part of recognition, and this article studies in what degree the “war sailors” have received publicity from 1945 to 2019. Using search results from a database of digitized Norwegian newspapers, some clear patterns emerge. The war efforts of the merchant seafarers were not forgotten immediately after the war, but they were not in the limelight. Not long after, the “war sailors” disappeared from the newspaper columns. In connection with the three milestones in the battle of “the secret fund of Nortraship”, they received a short-term increase of publicity. The last decade’s increased publicity seems to be more long-lasting, and it has become honourable to be called a “war sailor”. Gradually, several groups of seafarers have been included in the term and are now remembered as “war sailors”. This is partly a result of the need for visibility and recognition for forgotten groups of wartime seafarers.
