Kualitas sebuah sistem informasi sangat terpengaruhi oleh kualitas desain basis data. Terkadang seorang programmer melupakan optimalisasi sebuah query di MySQL, padahal jika suatu sistem yang telah berjalan opltimalisasi sangatlah penting ketika jumlah data menjadi besar. Di dalam MySQL menyediakan fungsi index pada table dan mempercepat proses pencarian dalam suatu basis data.Index pada intinya akan berguna apabila digunakan sesuai dengan kepentingan dan kebutuhan karena apabila tidak, index yang dibuat secara sembarangan dan banyak akan membuat lambatnya akses ke database. Sehingga harus diperhatikan lagi aturan – aturan dan analisis yang baik sebelum membuat index pada database
Local Deformation of Glasses Is Mediated by Rigidity Fluctuation and Granularity
Authors: Benzine Omar , Bruns Sebastian , Pan Zhiwen , Durst Karsten , Wondraczek Lothar
Published: June 2018

Microscopic deformation processes lie at the origin of defect formation on glass surfaces, thus determining the material’s resistance to scratching and mechanical failure. While the macroscopic strength of most glasses is not directly depending on material composition, local deformation and flaw initiation are strongly affected by chemistry and atomic arrangement. Aside empirical insight, however, the structural origin of the fundamental deformation modes remains largely unknown. Experimental methods which probe parameters on short or intermediate length-scale such as atom-atom or super-structural correlations are typically applied in the absence of alternatives. Drawing on recent experimental advances, we now probe spatial variations in the low-frequency vibrational density of states which result from sharp contact deformation of vitreous silica. From direct observation of deformation-induced variations on the characteristic length-scale of molecular heterogeneity, we argue that rigidity fluctuation on the scale of a few nanometers governs the deformation process of inorganic glasses.

Published: June 2018

Chitosan (CHI)-stabilised Ni–Fe bimetallic nanoparticles (bNP/CHI) were synthesised varying the content of nickel and denoted as 2-bNP/CHI, 17-bNP/CHI, and 27-bNP/CHI. The nanoparticles were characterised using several techniques and used in the removal of nimesulide. XRD and Mössbauer analyses confirmed the formation of an amorphous structure containing Fe0 and Fe2O3 while the FT-IR analysis confirmed the presence of chitosan in the nanoparticles. A very high removal of nimesulide was obtained after only 15 min of treatment with the 17-bNP/CHI system. The by-product obtained after the reductive treatment was identified using the chromatography analysis coupled to the mass spectrometry technique.

Published: June 2018

The preparation, characterization and thermal behavior of Mn(II)-diclofenac solid-state complex was investigated by simultaneous TG/DTA and DTG curves, DSC, X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques. The thermal evaluation was carried out with sample masses of 2 and 5 mg, with the purpose of comparing the values of activation energy regarding dehydration, monotropic phase transition and thermal decomposition in both samples mass. The DSC curves were obtained in opened and with crimped lids crucibles of aluminum under oxygen purge gas and static air (without purge gas). The DTA and DSC curves show an exothermic peak between 150-180 °C depending on heating rate, which can be attributed to the monotropic non-reversible reaction. The activation energy (Ea/kJ mol-1) to dehydration, the monotropic phase transition and the first thermal decomposition step were determined by Capela-Ribeiro nonlinear isoconversional method. The activation energy under oxygen dynamic purge gas shows lower values compared to those obtained under static air.

Has Indonesia’s Unique Progressivism in Mandating Corporate Social Responsibility Achieved Its Ends?
Authors: Chang Soonpeel Edgar
Published: June 2018

It has been a decade since Indonesia implemented its first mandatory CSR requirement. The time is ripe for the discussion: can Indonesia confidently say that it has saved Indonesia by making companies publicly answer for many social issues? Can it successfully bring social and economic justice by continuously enforcing this radical progressivism or utilitarianism? To begin to address these questions, this paper first examines Indonesia's unique features that strengthen CSR as a legal obligation and analyzes the current regulatory frame of CSR. Then, it discusses whether these laws and regulations have actually worked as a practical tool to encourage and enforce companies to perform CSR activities. This research concludes that company law can save Indonesia despite its failure so far due to a number of problems in and out of positive law. It suggests how it can specifically structure the CSR regulations and seeks attention to the more structural reform from the longer-term goal of developing a national mechanism.
Automated Reasoning from Polarized Parse Trees
Authors: Hu Hai , Icard Thomas , Moss Larry
Published: June 2018

This paper contributes to symbolic inference from text, including naturally occurring text. The idea is to take sentences in a framework like CCG, and then run a polarizing algorithm like the one in Hu and Moss 2018 to determine inferential polarity markings of all the constituents. From this, it is just a small step to obtain an inference engine which is both simple to describe and implement and at the same time is surprisingly powerful. We have implemented the basic inference step. This paper is work in progress, also going into detail on our projected next steps. The overall goal is to have a working symbolic inference system which covers "in-practice" inference and also is correct and efficient.
Learning Commonsense Knowledge through Interactive Dialogue
Authors: Wu Benjamin , Russo Alessandra , Law Mark , Inoue Katsumi
Published: June 2018

One of the most difficult problems in Artificial Intelligence is related to acquiring commonsense knowledge -- to create a collection of facts and information that an ordinary person should know. In this work, we present a system that, from a limited background knowledge, is able to learn to form simple concepts through interactive dialogue with a user. We approach the problem using a syntactic parser, along with a mechanism to check for synonymy, to translate sentences into a logical formulas represented in Event Calculus using Answer Set Programming (ASP). Reasoning and learning tasks are then automatically generated for the translated text, with learning being initiated through question and answering. The system is capable of learning with no contextual knowledge prior to the dialogue. The system has been evaluated on stories inspired by the Facebook's bAbI's question-answering tasks, and through appropriate question and answering is able to respond accurately to these dialogues.

Published: June 2018

We present a computational framework for the semantic interpretation of symmetry in naturalistic scenes. Key features include a human-centred representation, and a declarative, explainable interpretation model supporting deep semantic question-answering founded on an integration of methods in knowledge representation and computer vision. In the backdrop of the visual arts, we showcase the framework's capability to generate human-centred, queryable, relational structures, also evaluating the framework with an empirical study on the human perception of visual symmetry. Our framework represents and is driven by the application of foundational Vision and KR methods in the psychological and social sciences.
The Agony of Love and Fear: Nazism and the German Queer Community, 1920-1945
Authors: Zastre Sydni
Published: June 2018

The Nazis’ persecution of LGBTQ individuals is an often-overlooked topic in the wider study of theSecond World War. This paper synthesises recent research on this subject to provide an introductionto queer life in Germany between 1920 and 1945; it deals largely with the lives and experiences of gaymen, particularly their fight for legal equality in the interwar years and their mistreatment during the Naziperiod. Although not aiming to break new ground in this field, this paper aims to raise awareness of andgenerate interest in this topic among a general, interdisciplinary audience, and also to remind readersthat the struggles faced by the worldwide queer community neither began nor ended with the Third Reich.
Failure of Administrative Data to Guide Asthma Care
Authors: Agarwal Joel , LaBranche Jennifer , Cohen Jessica , De Gara Chris , Vethanayagam Dilini
Published: June 2018

Rationale: Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways that is very common (7.9% ofCanadians over the age of 12). Despite numerous clinical guidelines, education events and administrativedata reviews, there has been little change to the way asthma is managed in the Canadian health caresystem for nearly 30 years. We evaluated, through the Physician Learning Program (PLP) in Alberta,possible reasons why administrative datasets have not been able to provide meaningful information toadjust health policy.

Methods: Provincial data was attained through Alberta Health Service and Alberta Health on pulmonaryfunction testing from 2005-2011 (through the PLP). The number of asthma diagnosis made during the sametime frame were then compared.

Results: The preliminary results of the PLP found that spirometry was billed for roughly half as often asthe asthma diagnostic codes were utilized during the same time frame. However, the review also revealedinconsistencies in how administrative data are captured, making it difficult to determine whetherspirometry is being underutilized by physicians in making asthma diagnoses.

Conclusions: Inconsistencies in how administrative data are captured in Alberta may be contributingto an incomplete picture of the rates of asthma diagnosis and physiological testing, and may explain, inpart, the limited influence of administrative datasets on guiding meaningful change within the healthcaresystem.

Authors: Paquet Jacquelyn R , Mah Dennell , Coupland Nicholas , Vliagoftis Harissios , Vethanayagam Dilini
Published: June 2018

Introduction: Many asthmatics complain of worsening respiratory symptoms during periods of stress.This study evaluated the relationship among asthma symptoms, lung physiology, inflammatory parametersand perceived cognitive stress and quality of life in healthy adult students. This relationship was assessedat two time points: a time of normal activity and at a time of cognitive stress during academic examinations.

Methods: Subjects attended the University of Alberta Hospital for a screening visit, which included aclinical exam, spirometry, methacholine challenge, allergen skin tests to assess atopy status and MiniInternational Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI). Eligible subjects returned for a low stress visit (LSV) atleast 14 days prior to an exam and a high stress visit (HSV) within 24 hours of an exam. Spirometry, andmethacholine challenge were performed during both LSV and HSV along with the collection of urine (testedfor cortisol), and the administration of 4 questionnaires to assess perceived stress and quality of life.

Results: Subjects showed no significant change in psychosocial or quality of life questionnaires betweenLSV and HSV. No significant change was noted in lung function or urine cortisol. There was an unexpectedhigh rate of pre-existing psychiatric comorbidities in this population (based on the MINI screen failure rate).Conclusion: We did not find a significant change in quality of life, psychosocial wellbeing or pulmonaryfunction or inflammation, measured by urine cortisol, during a high stress period. The high rate ofcomorbidities would be important to consider as part of evaluation used in clinical asthma studies in the future.
Top-Down Processing: A Network Analysis of The Lord of the Rings as a Means of Defining Good and Evil
Authors: Werbicki Dennis John
Published: June 2018

This essay was written for Dr. Quamen’s ENGL 486 class on the Internet as Environment. Using networktheory, I seek to analyze the structural characteristics of power and authority in J.R.R. Tolkien’s TheLord of the Rings. I then compare my findings with H.C. Mack’s parametric analysis of the texts, andsuggest that both structural methodologies serve to reinforce the idea that concepts of sight andegotism play a key role in Tolkien’s binary portrayal of characters as being either good or evil. Theessay concludes with the suggestion that the configurations power and authority in LotR are deeply tiedto Tolkien’s portrayal of the nature of good and evil, and suggests further research into the questionof whether such power configurations may have since become mythic tropes in Western fantasy.
Auto Sequencer: A DNA Sequence Alignment and Assembly Tool
Authors: Aggarwal Abhi , Zarowny Landon , Campbell Robert E
Published: June 2018

The process of determining the exact order of nucleotides in DNA is a crucial component of a wide varietyof research applications known as DNA sequencing. Over the last fifty years, several DNA sequencingtechnologies have been well characterized through their nature and the kind of output they provide. Evenwith significant advances in DNA sequencing technology, sequencing and assembly of large pieces ofDNA remains a complex task. It requires sequencing small reads of DNA at a time, and performing DNAsequence assembly to merge the individual pieces into a single contiguous sequence. DNA sequenceassembly, albeit tedious and time consuming, is a process in which short DNA sequence fragments aremerged into longer fragments in the attempt to reconstruct the original DNA sequence. This is usuallyachieved by manually identifying sequence overlaps between two reads before aligning them intoone contiguous sequence. Then, with the aid of online tools or software, this contiguous sequence istranslated into protein sequence. While this process may only take a few minutes, the complexity ofsequence translation and assembly can be driven by two major challenges: finding the most reasonableoverlap in sequences that may contain repeats or low quality regions, and outputting both nucleotideand protein sequence in an easy to use, comprehensive output. To facilitate this process, we introducean all-in-one tool: Auto Sequencer. This user-friendly tool can combine and translate raw DNA sequencefiles by finding the most reasonable overlap between them displaying outputs in flexible formats.
Leadership Models in the Fashion Industry: Which Leadership Style is Most Stylish in Today’s Market?
Authors: Manucot Aleeza
Published: June 2018

The influence of fashion is inevitable in our everyday lives. With the rise of social media, anyone cannow be a trendsetter. As such, the fashion industry has become a rapidly changing industry, and manycompanies are struggling to keep up with changing consumer demands. Part of the problem may be thatfashion executives continue to lead companies with a classical, hierarchical approach that is conduciveto a lack of flexibility and creativity. What should fashion companies do to stay competitive?The purpose of this essay is to examine the importance of leadership within fashion companies andto explore which leadership style fits best in a rapidly changing fashion market. I argue that to staycompetitive in this field, fashion company executives should consider a transformational leadershipapproach in order to avoid biases thriving in hierarchies that limit their flexibility and creativity.Ultimately, although it is difficult to completely abandon hierarchies within fashion companies, evenimplementing aspects of the transformational style into a classical approach could help companies stayrelevant in today’s fashion industry.

Published: June 2018

Early diagnosis of sepsis is a very critical matter especially for soldiers in battle field; on the other hand, Procalcitonin is a new promising biomarker for fast and accurate diagnosis of sepsis. The aim of this study is to investigate the ability of Procalcitonin (PCT) to indicate sepsis earlier than blood culture and other traditional biomarkers and then get use of this in early diagnosis of sepsis.Procalcitonin concentration was measured in 44 sera of Iraqi wounded soldiers who were admitted to GHAZI AL-HARIRI Hospital for surgery, using ELISA kit of BioRay/USA, along with blood culture and other infection biomarker like C-reactive protein, ESR, W.B.C. count. Six patients had elevated PCT and 3 of them had positive blood culture, two of these three died. PCT has good correlation with other inflammatory biomarkers. It is our recommendation to accredit PCT as a very early biomarker of sepsis in Iraqi hospitals along with blood culture but earlier than it, and to use the quick test of PCT in battlefield to determine the priority of transmission of wounded soldiers to hospitals.

This paper is concerned with the solution of the nanoscale structures consisting of the   with an effective mass envelope function theory, the electronic states of the  quantum ring are studied.  In calculations, the effects due to the different effective masses of electrons in and out the rings are included. The energy levels of the electron are calculated in the different shapes of rings, i.e., that the inner radius of rings sensitively change the electronic states. The energy levels of the electron are not sensitively dependent on the outer radius for large rings. The structures of  quantum rings are studied by the one electronic band Hamiltonian effective mass approximation, the energy- and position-dependent on electron effective mass approximation, and the spin-dependent on the Ben Daniel-Duke boundary conditions. In the description of the Hamiltonian matrix elements, the Finite elements method with different base piecewise linear function is adopted. The non-linear energy confinement problem is solved approximately by using the Finite elements method with piecewise  linear function, to calculate the energy of the one electron states for the   quantum ring. The results of numerical example are compared for accuracy and efficiency with the finite element method of linear triangular element. This comparison shows that good results of numerical example.

Based on the result of research in the Cooperative Office, Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Bandung and the Department of Trade and Industry Bandung, there is work performance that has not been maximized, it can be seen from the indicators: the quantity of work, job knowledge and personal quality. This is due to: the complexity and formalization that have not been optimize. This research used combination research method by using Sequential Model that is with data and quantitative data analysis in first stage and with qualitative data in second stage. Technique collective data consist of literature study, field study (participant and non-participant observation, in-depth interviews with two heads of service, questionnaires distributed to 28 persons, Division Head and Section Head of both Focus Group Discussion), research design, data and data sources, key informant and informant, and documentation studies. The result of this research is quantitative result of 68.9% result of organizational design on work performance in Cooperation Department, Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises, Trade and Industry Office of Bandung City that have a high enough influence. The result of qualitative research is micro business that became a municipality affair then small enterprises are provincial affairs, and medium enterprises are the affairs of central government. This showed that there are still overlapping in work specialization and the authority that has not optimize yet from central to region, thus it needs a new concept or research findings that will certainly enrich organizational theory and study related to organizational structure and public institutional related to work performance. Keywords: Organizational Structure, Work Performance, New SOTK.
Photovoice: Exploring the Role of Teacher’s Question for University Students’ Fluency in Speaking Class
Authors: Drajati Nur Arifah
Published: June 2018

Abstract. Speaking skill is essential in language learning and teaching process because the goal of learning a foreign language is to be able to communicate using the target language. Fluency is one of the leading criteria that the students should accomplish in speaking skill. However, most of EFL students tend to be more nervous if they speak English, and this will impact their fluency. The objective of the research is to investigate how questioning gives an impact for students’ fluency in academic speaking class. The researchers used narrative inquiry to collect and process the data using Photovoice. The participants of this research were 12 university students. The finding shows that the use of questioning can develop students’ speaking fluency in academic speaking class. As the implication, teachers can give questions followed with feedback to enhance the students’ fluency. Keywords: fluency, speaking skill, questioning, photovoice.
