Conflict Management in University Examination Timetabling Problem: A case study of summer school mid-terms
Authors: BAYAR Mustafa Mehmet , UZUN BAYAR Irmak
Published: September 2020

Abstract:

Aim: This study is on tackling Examination Timetabling Problem (ETP) of the Faculty of Economics And Administrative Sciences (FEAS) of the Ankara HBV University summer school, where the courses of fall and spring semesters are offered simultaneously and regulations on restricting enrollments in inter-department electives or in-department courses of distinct years are relaxed. Thus, the complexity of the nature of the ETP problem is exacerbated. The direct heuristics based on successive assignments that the university normally adopts was proven inadequate for assuming standard regulations hence, another approach we explain in this paper was needed.

Design / Research methods: The ETP was formulated as a Linear Mixed-Integer Program (LMIP) and decomposed into three stages; timetabling exams, room assignment, student allocation. To manage the conflict between the stakeholders of the examination procedure, a lexicographic optimization process based on the priority of the parties was undertaken.

Conclusions / findings: After a recursive timetabling process based on a trial-and-error method a clash-free timetable was generated and, a room assignment plan that minimizes the total number of proctoring duties, usage of higher floor rooms and total crowdedness of rooms respectively was put into action. Therefore no student group experienced any clashing exams, the faculty members saved time that can be spent on research instead, since the room usage was better planned the costs (elevator usage, lighting, air conditioning, the labor of the janitors) were assumed to be decreased.

Originality / value of the article: Each examination period bares a different ETP due to its problem-specific nature (number of courses offered, structure of student enrollments, availability of rooms, etc.). Summer schools provide a more irregular structure that demands special attention, a trial-and-error reformulation of the ETP in our case. In addition, the traditional formulations of the ETP, to the extent we have been able to scan, do not include the minimization of the crowdedness of the rooms. Thus, in creating a more comfortable environment, easier to monitor exams and, ability in handling unexpected dysfunctionalities (broken classroom equipment, etc.) this study is novel.

Limitations of the research: The algorithms to solve an ETP formulated as an LMIP are of high complexity therefore, we are not able to assert the optimality of our suggested solutions acquired within time limitations.

ETHICALLY PRACTICED UNETHICAL STRATEGIES IN PHARMA INDUSTRY - WHOM TO BE BLAMED
Authors: Sasirekha V.
Published: September 2020

As the competition is getting more intense, the number of instances of companies alleged to have been involved in illegal and unethical practices is increasing at an alarming rate. Being an integral part of the society, business organizations have certain duties, responsibilities, and obligations toward the society, referred to as "Business Ethics". The pressures of the reality challenges the ethical frameworks traditionally followed by organizations. The global pharmaceutical industry is highly regulated, capital intensive, and driven by large research and development expenditures. Despite the pharmaceutical industry’s notable contributions to human progress, it is fraught with ethical challenges. This paper presents the ethically practiced unethical strategies that are followed in the industry referencing the case studies of mega corporations and concludes the need for “systematic training in ethics” for all the stakeholders and the need for ethical leadership in an organization.
AMENDED PARTICLE SWARM OPTIMIZATION ALGORITHM FOR REAL POWER LOSS REDUCTION AND STATIC VOLTAGE STABILITY MARGIN INDEX ENHANCEMENT
Authors: Lenin K.
Published: September 2020

In this paper, Amended Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm (APSOA) is proposed with the combination of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Gravitational Search Algorithm (GSA) for solving the optimal reactive power dispatch Problem. PSO is one of the most widely used evolutionary algorithms in hybrid methods due to its simplicity, convergence speed, an ability of searching Global optimum. GSA has many advantages such as, adaptive learning rate, memory-less algorithm and, good and fast convergence. Proposed hybridized algorithm is aimed at reduce the probability of trapping in local optimum. In order to assess the efficiency of proposed algorithm, it has been tested on Standard IEEE 30 system and compared to other standard algorithms. The simulation results demonstrate worthy performance of the Amended Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm (APSOA) in solving optimal reactive power dispatch problem.
AMELIORATED PARTICLE SWARM OPTIMIZATION ALGORITHM FOR SOLVING OPTIMAL REACTIVE POWER DISPATCH PROBLEM
Authors: Lenin K.
Published: September 2020

In this paper, an Ameliorated Particle Swarm Optimization (APSO) algorithm has been proposed to solve the optimal reactive power dispatch problem. Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is swarm intelligence-based exploration and optimization algorithm which is used to solve global optimization problems. But due to deficiency of population diversity and early convergence it is often stuck into local optima. Diversity upsurges and avoids premature convergence by using evolutionary operators in PSO. In this paper the intermingling crossover operator is used to upsurge the exploration capability of the swarm in the exploration space. Particle Swarm Optimization uses this crossover method to converge optimum solution in quick manner. Thus the intermingling crossover operator is united with particle swarm optimization to augment the performance and possess the diversity which guides the particles to the global optimum powerfully. Proposed Ameliorated Particle Swarm Optimization (APSO) algorithm has been tested in standard IEEE 30 bus test system and simulation results shows clearly the improved performance of the projected algorithm in reducing the real power loss and static voltage stability margin has been enhanced.

Published: September 2020

The study sought to establish the benefits of school feeding programme (SFP) in Western Zambia. It also brought out the challenges encountered in the execution of the programme. This article is an extract from one of the objectives of ongoing study. School feeding entails the distribution of food commodities to children who attend school. The commodities may be locally grown and purchased or contributed by international donor community. The food may be consumed by the learners in school. In other settings, it may be given as take-home ration for consumption by the families that regularly send their children to school. The study employed a descriptive survey research design to collect, analyse and interpret both quantitative and qualitative data from 415 respondents. The results of the study showed that the school feeding programme is an intervention which has enormous education benefits; equitable access to education, increased school enrolment, improved attendance, punctuality and academic performance. Other benefits include: health and nutrition, social protection, parent involvement, and opportunities for local farmers. However, challenges were also reported; there were some possible negative attributes to the increase in the enrolment rates, that is, the educational quality may be compromised if the number of learners exceeds available resources such as desks, text books, teachers, and irregular supply of food to schools. The study recommended that plans and measures should be put in place by the government, relevant ministries and development partners on how to increase existing human, physical, and financial resources for the school feeding programme to be effective and sustainable. SFP should also be decentralized to the schools and community levels with more support from provincial offices to ensure a more effective school feeding programme.
THE FIRST AND LAST MESSAGES OF DIVINE RELIGIONS

Yahudilik, Hıristiyanlık ve İslamiyet olarak bilenen ilahi dinler, dünyada en çok inananı bulunan monoteist dinlerdir. Bu dinlerin kutsal kitapları, insanlık tarihini derinden etkilemiş, aynı zamanda şekillendirmiştir. Ancak her dinin
müntesibi kendi kutsal kitabını tanıdığı kadar aynı kaynaktan gelen diğer kutsal kitaplar hakkında yeterli bilgiye sahip olmadığından dolayı bu dinler arasında bazı problemler ortaya çıkmaktadır. İlahi dinlerin günümüzde mevcut
olan kutsal kitaplar objektif bir şekilde incelendiğinde bu problemin ilahi dinlerin kutsal kitaplarından kaynaklamadığı bilakis bu dinlere inananların, kutsal kitapları kendi filolojik ve sosyo-kültürel değerleriyle yorumlanmalarından
kaynaklı olduğu görülecektir. Bu makalemizde, ilahi dinlerin ilk ve son mesajlarını karşılaştırmakla ilahi din müntesiplerinin birbirlerini daha iyi tanımasına katkı sağlayacağı kanaatindeyiz. İlahi dinlerin ilk ve son mesajlarını
incelerken bunlar arasında bir tarihsel tekâmülün olduğunu müşahede ettik. İlahi dinlerin son kitabı Kur’an-ı Kerim’in kendinden önceki ilahi kitaplara atıfta bulunması ve bu kitaplardaki bazı bilgileri onaylaması ve bazı yanlış
inanışlardan bahsetmesi bu görüşümüzü doğrular niteliktedir. Ayrıca ilahi dinlerin bazı hükümlerine baktığımızda bunların birbirlerini tamamlar nitelikte olduğu gibi, kendinden önceki bazı hükümleri nesh ettiğini de görmekteyiz.
Günümüzde ilahi dinlerin kutsal kitaplarının insanlığa sunmuş olduğu ortak değerler kutsal metinlerin redaksiyon tenkitleri yapılarak yeniden ortaya konabilir. Bu makalemizde, Tarih boyunca savaşların nedeni olarak gösterilen dinlerin,
artık savaşların değil, insanların dünyada barış ve kardeşlik içinde yaşamalarını sağlayacak ilkelerin kaynağı olduğunu gösterecektir. Böylece hem ilahi dinlerin müntesiplerinin hem de bütün insanların kaynaşma ve dayanışmasını
temin edecektir kanaatindeyiz.

Penyediaan prasarana air bersih, termasuk dalam komponen Program Pembangunan Prasarana Kota Terpadu (P3KT) yang menjadi tanggung jawab Departemen Pekerjaan Umum (saat ini kementrian). Pengelolaan penyediaan air bersih dilakukan melalui kegiatan pengambilan bahan baku air, pengolahan air dan penyaluran air bersih ke pelanggan dalam hal ini warga kabupaten Gresik, namun realitanya tidak semua warga mendapatkan dan menikmati air bersih yang berada di masing-masing desa. Sehingga melalui penelitian dengan melakukan restrukturisasi air bersih menggunakan alat teknologi tepat guna yang ramah lingkungan diharapkan mampu mengatasi permasalahan tersebut. Terdapat 3 daerah yang menjadi sasaran obyek penelitian antara lain desa cerme, desa duduk sampeyan dan desa manyar yang berada di wilayah kabupaten Gresik, dikawasan tersebut banyaknya keluhan warga akan air bersih. Tidak sedikit warga harus membeli air bersih dari tempat lain yang didistribusikan melalui mobil tanki air bersih, tentu ini akan menjadi beban warga dari sisi biaya pembelian air bersih dalam memenuhi kebutuhan sehari-hari.

Authors: Potashev S. V. , Salo S. V. , Gavrylyshyn A. Y. , Rudenko S. A. , Holtvian O. M.
Published: September 2020

Background. Speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) provides valuable data on myocardial function. STE during dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) allows reliable myocardial ischemia diagnosis.
Aim. To evaluate STE during DSE in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) after acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and its accuracy in ischemia diagnosis, assessment of myocardial viability and coronary reserve. Methods. We examined 58 patients (55 [94,8 %] men and 3 [5,2 %] women) men) with CAD after ACS admitted to our Institute for defining indications for coronary interventions. All the patients underwent DSE with STE for longitudinal strain quantification.
Results. Mean left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was 52.4±5.8%. Significant CAD according to coronary angiography (CAG) prior to DSE was proved in 38 (65.5%) patients. All the patients had a history of ACS up to 12 years before the examination (38 [65.5%] patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), including 18 [31.0%] primary PCI; 9 [15.5%] patients after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG); 3 [5.2%] after graft PCI, 1 [1.72%] patient after aortic valve replacement (AVR) with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) phenotype). There were no significant complications during DSE: 5 (8.6%) cases of relatively low grade transient arrhythmia with no need for intervention. As per DSE results, we performed 35 (60.3%) revascularization interventions: 31 (58.6%) PCI’s and 4 (6.9%) CABG procedures with good outcomes. It was shown that DSE with STE sensitivity and specificity were 89.7% and 94.7% (AUC 0.92), respectively, with positive and negative predictive values of 97.2% and 81.8%, respectively, with extremely high OR 157.5, p<0.0001. Combined quantification of ΔGLS and ΔWMSI showed insignificantly lower sensitivity (86.3% [p=0.57]) and specificity (87.8% [p=0.19]) vs. integral semiquantitative ischemia markers with significantly lower overall method accuracy (AUC 0.79, p=0.047).
Conclusions. DSE with STE as a visualization method is a safe and optimal method for ischemia diagnosis, as well as for myocardial viability and coronary reserve assessment in patients with CAD after ACS with the aim of risk stratification and defining indications for interventions and myocardial revascularization.
Morphological Aspects of Myocardial Remodeling under Conditions of its Volume Overload
Authors: Zakharova V. P. , Balabai A. A. , Stechenko L. O. , Krykunov O. A. , Rudenko O. V.
Published: September 2020

Background. Myocardial overload occurs in situations when one or another heart chamber receives excess blood during diastole. Most often it occurs as a result of insufficiency of aortic or atrioventricular valves. Changes in cardiomyocytes (CMs) are regarded as compensatory, and the way myocardial remodeling with volume overload passes into the stage of decompensation still remains unexplored.
The aim. To determine the morphological signs of adaptation and maladaptation of the myocardium to its volume overload.
Materials and methods. Four hearts obtained at autopsy from patients who died of heart failure due to mitral valve insufficiency were used for the microscopical examination. Histological specimens were stained with hematoxylin and eosin, picrofuxin according to Van Gieson, fuxelin according to Weigert, alizarin red S and MSB method modified by Zerbino-Lukasevich “orange-red-blue” (ORB). For the study by electron microscopy, the material was obtained during operations in 6 patients with dilated atria from the area of surgical access.
Results and conclusions. The heart chambers volume overload is compensated by the increase in the size of their cavities due to the “longitudinal” hypertrophy of the CMs which is expressed by the increase in the number of sarcomeres in each myofibril. The compensation mechanism is limited by the ability of abruptly altered CMs to produce new sarcomeres. Decompensation of adaptive processes is manifested by: destruction of intermyocytic and interfiber connections in functional myocardial syncytium; desynchronization of CMs contraction; the effect of CMs “sliding” relative to each other with the damage of interstitial connective tissue; dilation of T-tubes of CMs with the subsequent calcium damage of cellular organelles; dissociation of CMs and myocardial fibrosis.

Mediante un análisis de documentos normativos, obras bibliográficas y colecciones de revistas médico-jurídicas especializadas, constatamos cómo el proceso de significación de este «principio», lejos de quedar establecido en 1875, fue elaborado y modificado paulatinamente, gracias sobre todo a la labor desempeñada desde los principales impulsores de la Medicina Legal en el país. Asimismo, con el objetivo de conocer cuál fue la actuación del peritaje médico legal en la comprobación de los delitos de violación y de obser- var la implementación que el contenido teórico tuvo en la práctica, analizamos cien procesos judiciales por violación, incoados en los tribunales criminales de Santiago y Valparaíso entre 1890 y 1920. Interpretando los discursos médicos y penales considerados como creadores de una realidad concreta, ahondamos en los procesos de alianza e institucionalización médico- jurídica dentro de esta rama del conocimiento y consideramos su implementación material en las labores periciales encargadas por los tribunales criminales, para mostrar, así, cómo estas acciones coadyuvaron a reformular, reconstruir y consolidar una longeva desigualdad penal.

UPT Pelatihan Kerja Singosari adalah lembaga pemerintah provinsi Jawa Timur sebagai penyelenggara pelatihan untuk memberikan sarana prasarana pendidikan dan sebuah informasi lowongan pekerjaan pada sebuah perusahaan agar masyarakat mampu menghadapi dunia kerja dan cepat menerima sebuah informasi kerja. Dalam Divisi Pengembangan dan Pemasaran, dilakukan berbagai macam proses yang salah satu tujuannya adalah memberikan informasi kepada masyarakat mengenai lowongan pekerjaan, lowongan pelatihan, dan lain sebagainya. Akan tetapi, proses pemberian informasi pelatihan serta pendaftaran masih dilakukan secara manual, sehingga masyarakat yang tinggal jauh dari lokasi pelatihan kesulitan menerima informasi secara langsung. Dengan diciptakan sebuah sistem informasi berbasis website, diharapkan masyarakat luas dapat menjangkau dengan mudah berbagai informasi pelatihan yang diberikan oleh UPT Pelatihan Kerja Singosari karena dapat dilakukan kapan pun dan di mana pun. Pembuatan sistem informasi berbasis website ini menggunakan framework CodeIgniter dan juga metode Model View Controller (MVC) karena pada penelitian sebelumnya mampu membuat sistem lebih stabil dan mudah dilakukan perbaikan. Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah masyarakat menjadi lebih terbantu dengan adanya sistem ini karena tidak perlu jauh-jauh untuk melihat informasi yang mereka butuhkan.

Published: September 2020

Pemilihan komputer yang baik adalah menyesuaikan dengan kebutuhan dan ketersediaan anggaran karena hal ini berhubungan dengan spesifikasi perangkat keras di dalamnya. Masih banyak masyarakat awam tidak mempunyai pengetahuan komponen komputer rakitan. Hal ini bias menjadi penyebab kurang optimalnya dalam memilih spesifikasi komputer rakitan berdasarkan kebutuhan dan ketersediaan anggaran. Sehingga perlu adanya suatu sistem yang dapat membantu masyarakat dalam memberikan informasi spesifikasi (komponen-komponen) komputer rakitan yang menyesuaikan dengan kebutuhan dan anggaran yang dimiliki calon pembeli. Pengembangan aplikasi dilakukan dengan mengamati langsung proses pembelian Komputer rakitan yang dilakukan di toko-toko komputer. Selanjutnya melakukan pengumpulan data perangkat keras komputer yang akan dijadikan spesifikasi komputer rakitan. Memilih Algoritma Backtracking dengan teknik Depth First Search dengan fungsi pembatas harga dalam proses penyusunan spesifikasi perangkat keras komputer. Pengujian dilakukan pada 4 komponen hardware untuk Paket Office dengan batas anggaran Rp 5.000.000, dan memperoleh output harga Rp 4.978.000 dengan performa indeks 5482 dan pada Paket Grafik/Game, pengujian dilakukan pada 5 komponen hardware dengan batas anggaran Rp 8.000.000 dan memperoleh 2 pilihan output harga Rp 7.973.000 dan Rp 8.000.000 dengan masing-masing indeks 12749 dan 12373. Kedua pengujian menghasilkan keluaran kombinasi hardware yang tidak melebihi batas anggaran yang dimasukkan.
Cosmopoéticas da desobediência informe
Authors: Ribeiro Marcelo R. S.
Published: September 2020

Considerando o catálogo Lumière como experiência inaugural do cinema mundial, este artigo propõe uma leitura anarquívica de algumas de suas imagens. Diferenciando a operação do cinematógrafo como dispositivo cosmotécnico de arquivamento do mundo e aparelho cosmopoético de invenção de mundos, exploro as formas de inscrição da diferença no arquivo Lumière, por meio de uma arqueologia do sensível. Confronto o cinema de atrações com um olhar contra-colonial, explicitando tanto o regime da extração que enquadra a diferença quanto as linhas de fuga em que emerge uma potência cosmopoética sobrevivente, nas e entre as imagens, por meio de gestos de desobediência informe.

This article describes the social, biological, and programmatic interactions between HIV and SARS-CoV-2 co-infections in The Caribbean region. The country islands represent the second most affected region by HIV/AIDS after Sub-Saharan Africa. After the first confirmed COVID-19 cases in the region, it is necessary to reinvent the programmatic interventions designed to eliminate HIV transmission, and implement innovative interventions that are not yet currently available like PrEP, HIV self-testing, and multiple medication dispensing. COVID-19 pandemic offers an opportunity to governments, community-based organizations, and international partners to maintain the HIV care continuum, with particular efforts made to ensure timely access to, and to avoid disruption of routinely HIV services.

cognitive understanding to recognize geometric shapes. To overcome this problem, researcher tried to deliver learning through the kinetic sand medium that can be one of the interesting alternative to be a learning medium. This study used a Class Action Research (CAR) method. The results showed a gradual improvement in the ability to recognize geometric shapes by playing kinetic sand. The increased ability to know the geometric shapes can be seen on the indicator of the ability to know, understand, and apply of the geometric shapes in playing. Children's ability to recognize shapes through playing the geometric kinetic sand was increased from 27.7% (pre-action stage) to 56% (in the first cycle) and increased to 85% (the second cycle). The steps that can improving the ability to recognize geometric shapes through the playing medium of kinetic sand are through recognizing the shapes of circles, triangles, quadrangles, rectangles, grouping large and small, grouping objects according to their shape, knowing the process (the causes-effects), and the enthusiasm of children in carrying out activities from the beginning to the end.

Keywords: kinetic sand, learning medium, cognitive development.

ObjectiveThis living systematic review aims to evaluate the vertical transmission of SARS-CoV-2 through breast milk and breastfeeding in patients with COVID-19 providing a timely, rigorous and continuously updated summary of the evidence available on .Data sources We will conduct searches in the L·OVE (Living OVerview of Evidence) platform for COVID-19, a system that maps PICO questions to a repository maintained through regular searches in electronic databases, preprint servers, trial registries and other resources relevant to COVID-19. No date or language restrictions will be applied. In response to the COVID-19 emergency, L·OVE was adapted to expand the range of evidence it covers and customised to group all COVID-19 evidence in one place. The search will cover the period until the day before submission to a journal.Eligibility criteria for selecting studies and methodsWe adapted an already published common protocol for multiple parallel systematic reviews to the specificities of this question. We will include primary studies evaluating the role of breast milk and breastfeeding transmission. Randomised trials evaluating breast milk and breastfeeding in infections caused by other coronaviruses, such as MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV, and non-randomised studies in COVID-19 will be searched in case we find no direct evidence from randomised trials, or if the direct evidence provides low- or very low-certainty for critical outcomes.Two reviewers will independently screen each study for eligibility, extract data, and assess the risk of bias. We will pool the results using meta-analysis and will apply the GRADE system to assess the certainty of the evidence for each outcome. A living, web-based version of this review will be openly available during the COVID-19 pandemic. We will resubmit it every time the conclusions change or whenever there are substantial updates.
