An Aspect in the Poetic Experience of the Classical Poet Awat
Authors: Hussein Jabbar Ahmed
Published: September 2021

A literary text is a personal thought or emotion of the writer that are illustrated in the world of imagination. S/he conveys this very personal intuition into the readers’ side (addressee) through a crafty language and a highly technical style. Thus, each and every literary text is composed of four elements: three of them are the internal structure of the poem, which are theme, emotion, and imagination, and the fourth one is style, which is the incarnation of the previously-mentioned elements. All of these elements are firmly interconnected to each other and could only be separated for research purposes.

 

         The aim of this study is to pinpoint the internal structure of Awat’s poetry and to show an aspect of his poetic experience.
Masoud Muhammad and Theodor Adorno on Art: A Comparative Study
Authors: Ahmed Nabaz Samad
Published: September 2021

A comparative analysis of two great thinkers who are placed in different geographical, social, cultural, and intellectual contexts is a difficult task. Masoud Muhammad a Kurdish Philosopher and Theodor Adorno, a German philosopher, are belonging to two different cultural and intellectual traditions but it can be argued that the core of their philosophical views and analysis on art are thematically connected and astoundingly close. Muhammad and Adorno are doing the same thing, but at a different level, context, and different methods regarding art. They both lived during the dark times of totalitarian regimes: Nazism and Ba’athism in Germany and Iraq respectively. In this paper, I will propose to show that it is possible to establish similarities between the philosophical views of these two thinkers based on three presuppositions. First, both Masoud Muhammad and Adorno’s point of departure is the criticizing Marxist art theory. Second, for Muhammad art is a social fact, and not an imitation of society’s reality, since art is the self-expression of the artist; Also for Adorno art is a social fact and in the meantime, it is independent from society. Third, in Muhammad’s view, art is autonomous and free; therefore it would not be affiliated with any ideologies. In the same manner, Adorno argues that art is autonomous and critical to society. The forgoing illustrated that these three presuppositions set the tone for the theme and hypothesis of this paper. The main goal of this paper is to examine the similarities between Adorno and Muhammad's philosophical views concerning art.

Fake news becomes a phenomenon in the Kurdish social media. The easiness of use and the political and social environmental crisis of northern Kurdistan besides non-professional dealing by a number of journalists worsen the situation. Despite the fact that fake news does not stemmed from the modern technology of information and the advent of using media for psychology and propaganda war but, the easiness of accessing social media makes the online platforms to be the main mediums of disseminating fake news.

The openness of northern Kurdistan towards new communication technology and the semi-freedom of journalistic working and partisan activities help this part of the world to be a spot area for spreading fake news phenomenon; which became an interesting topic for many scholars around the world mainly after the presidential elections of United States of America in 2016.

In this exploratory study, focus group interview used for collecting data and thematic analysis approach adopted for analysing it. Results show that spreading fake news through the Kurdish social media becomes a prevailing phenomenon. Various political and economy purposes can be identified behind disseminating fake news. Adding to increasing activity of variety of pages and accounts created with this respect through different names.

Although of prevailing of the phenomena, a number of procedures can be taken in order to put a line for common of the phenomena including covering fake news through creating parasite account and pages and detecting the source of such piece of information.

The Qualified Effects Doctrine in the Extraterritorial of Competition Law Application: An Indonesia Perspective
Authors: Sukarmi Sukarmi , Qaqaya Hassan , Susanto Fransiska A. , Kurniaty Rika
Published: September 2021

The use of extraterritorial jurisdiction of competition law, based on the effect doctrine, has long been debated. This paper discusses the application of extraterritorial jurisdiction to Indonesian competition law. Competition law in Indonesia applies to any collusive or abusive behaviour that has a necessary effect on the business and economy spheres, regardless of the nationality or geographic location of the company or where the occurred conduct. This study employs a normative juridical method to analyse legal norms and principles. The approaches used include a statutory approach, a comparative law approach, and a case approach. This study reveals that the regulations concerning the prohibition of monopolistic practices and unfair business competition have not explicitly regulated extraterritorial norms in Indonesia. However, the Business Competition Supervisory Commission makes legal breakthroughs by applying the extraterritorial principle to resolve the involvement of foreign business actors and impose penalties on them. This article argues that Indonesia significantly needs to amend its competition law and increase cooperation with other countries to enforce the competition law.
Constitutional Rules on Waqf and Fiscal Policy Outcomes
Authors: Ismail Abdul Ghafar , Pratomo Wahyu Ario
Published: September 2021

Fiscal policy, inter alia, looks at the list of government revenues. The constitutional rules provide guidance on the list of revenues. However, the previous studies find that waqf is not considered as part of government revenues. In this study, we argue that waqf brings in a new list of government revenues. To prove this point, we select a sample of fifty-seven countries under the Organization of Islamic Countries. The constitution of each country is investigated by using content analysis. The study uses a combination of several keywords, namely “tax or taxes or fiscal obligations,” “revenues or budget or finance” and “waqf” in investigating the rules on revenues and waqf. The findings in this study are classified into five kinds of countries, namely countries that highlight government revenue and waqf in the constitution, countries that claim to recognize sharia law as the basis of the law but the waqf rules in the constitution are missing, countries that mention in their constitution that government revenues are placed under the government system, financial system, and parliament, countries that place waqf is ruled under the public finance matter, and countries that place waqf as the main policy. This finding implies that the constitutional rules lead to the view that waqf is a part of public finance that can be used as a fiscal policy tool and should be included in the state budget plan.

Authors: Carvalho Jailda Evangelista do Nascimento , Souza Jose Batista de , Silva Alecrisson da
Published: September 2021

A Educação Inclusiva compreende a escola como um espaço para todos, favorecendo a diversidade na medida em que visa acolher as diferenças para atender às necessidades e especificidades de cada indivíduo. Esse trabalho objetiva refletir sobre os desafios da formação docente para atuação na escola inclusiva, analisando suas fragilidades e potencialidades. Utilizou-se como metodologia a pesquisa bibliográfica, e o relato de experiência, através do qual se verificou os benefícios da Sala de Recursos para o desenvolvimento de uma criança com síndrome de down. Através do estudo, inferiu-se que a obrigatoriedade da inclusão dos alunos com deficiência na rede regular de ensino foi uma conquista relevante para aquelas pessoas que durante séculos, tiveram seus direitos negados, mas que ainda existem fragilidades nas políticas públicas de atendimento que impedem que a inclusão aconteça.
percepções dos licenciandos sobre o curso de formação de professores em educação do campo
Authors: Melo Marlene Rios , Puente Chacón Daniel José
Published: September 2021

O presente texto almeja entender como os licenciandos do penúltimo semestre do curso de licenciatura em educação do campo de uma Instituição Federal de Ensino Superior percebem sua formação. Partimos da pergunta: O que é a formação de professores da educação do campo? A resposta será obtida via pesquisa qualitativa com abordagem fenomenológica (BICUDO; KLÜBER, 2013). A análise dos discursos escritos e transcritos dos sujeitos colaboradores da pesquisa foi feita através da Análise Textual Discursiva (MORAES; GALIAZZI, 2007). Os resultados nos mostram que os licenciandos se dão conta de sua condição de oprimidos, bem como percebem uma recuperação do seu capital cultural, pela valorização e recuperação da sua identidade, o que lhes fortalece na criação de ações no universo campesino. No entanto, as relações com o conhecimento científico ainda se apresentam frágeis, mostrando traços de uma educação ainda não plenamente dialógica e libertadora.

La conexión entre las percepciones de sesgos mediáticos y su influencia en la polarización afectiva: un examen en Brasil, México y Estados Unidos
Authors: Tong Chau , Winckler Haley , Rojas Hernando
Published: September 2021

Este estudio examina dos tipos de percepciones relacionadas con los medios de comunicación (percepción de los medios hostiles y percepción de tercera persona) y su relación con la polarización afectiva, o la creciente hostilidad partidista entre miembros de partidos opuestos en Brasil, México y Estados Unidos. Operacionalizando la polarización afectiva como la discrepancia estimada entre los miembros del propio partido político y los de otros en ciertos rasgos de personalidad, como la inteligencia, el preocuparse por el bienestar de la humanidad, el estar informado, o el ser tolerante, encontramos correlaciones positivas fuertes y estadísticamente significativas entre dichas percepciones y la polarización afectiva. En otras palabras, pensar que los medios están sesgados en contra del propio bando y pensar que los partidarios del otro lado son más susceptibles a la influencia sesgada de los medios, se asocia directamente con lo que uno siente acerca de los que pertenecen a otros partidos. Las implicaciones de estos hallazgos se discuten en relación con la prominencia de las percepciones de sesgos mediáticos y la polarización afectiva en países con diferentes niveles de profesionalismo mediático y polarización partidista.
COMPARISON OF THREE OPTION PRICING MODELS FOR INDIAN OPTIONS MARKET
Authors: Chauhan Arun , Gor Ravi
Published: September 2021

Black-Scholes option pricing model is used to decide theoretical price of different Options contracts in many stock markets in the world. In can find many generalizations of BS model by modifying some assumptions of classical BS model. In this paper we compared two such modified Black-Scholes models with classical Black-Scholes model only for Indian option contracts. We have selected stock options form 5 different sectors of Indian stock market. Then we have found call and put option prices for 22 stocks listed on National Stock Exchange by all three option pricing models. Finally, we have compared option prices for all three models and decided the best model for Indian Options.

Motivation/Background:

In 1973, two economists, Fischer Black, Myron and Robert Merton derived a closed form formula for finding value of financial options. For this discovery, they got a Nobel prize in Economic science in 1997. Afterwards, many researchers have found some limitations of Black-Scholes model. To overcome these limitations, there are many generalizations of Black-Scholes model available in literature. Also, there are very limited study available for comparison of generalized Black-Scholes models in context of Indian stock market. For these reasons we have done this study of comparison of two generalized BS models with classical BS model for Indian Stock market.

Method:

First, we have selected top 5 sectors of Indian stock market. Then from these sectors, we have picked total 22 stocks for which we want to compare three option pricing models. Then we have collected essential data like, current stock price, strike price, expiration time, rate of interest, etc. for computing the theoretical price of options by using three different option pricing formulas. After finding price of options by using all three models, finally we compared these theoretical option price with market price of respected stock options and decided that which theoretical price has less RMSE error among all three model prices.

Result:

After going through the method described above, we found that the generalized Black-Scholes model with modified distribution has minimum RMSE errors than other two models, one is classical Black-Scholes model and other is Generalized Black-Scholes model with modified interest rate.

Published: September 2021

La distribución del agua a los usuarios es el resultado de la interacción entre la junta de regantes, los usuarios, la operación y el mantenimiento de la infraestructura hidráulica. El objetivo de la investigación fue identificar los aspectos técnicos y sociales que influyen en la distribución del agua en los ramales principal y secundario del sistema de riego Tumbaco. Se realizó el levantamiento de información de campo a través de encuestas y entrevistas a los actores principales y la medición de caudales en los diferentes ramales. Resultados principales: i) la construcción del sistema de riego empezó en 1909 por los habitantes de Tumbaco; en 1944, la Caja Nacional de Riego concluyó la construcción del canal para cubrir una superficie regable de 2.000 ha; en 2017, la superficie regada fue de 1.050 ha; la junta de usuarios gestiona el sistema desde el año 2001; ii) la infraestructura hidráulica del sistema ha cumplido su vida útil (75 años), no se ha rehabilitado y las compuertas no permiten la regulación de los caudales desde el canal principal a los secundarios; iii) referente a la gestión, los reglamentos no se cumplen. En conclusión, en el sistema de riego Tumbaco no existe equidad en la distribución del agua debido a que la infraestructura del sistema ha cumplido su vida útil, no se cumple con el estatuto ni con el reglamento, y los derechos no se han actualizado con las necesidades de los usuarios, como resultado del proceso existente de desterritorialización.
Tribal Casino Labor Relations and Settler Colonialism
Authors: Gordon Theodor
Published: September 2021

Sovereignty provides the legal basis for tribal casinos in the United States.  However, since the industry’s rapid growth (valued at $34 billion for 2019), courts are now revisiting decades-old precedents in federal Indian law to reinterpret policies in ways that add new constraints to tribal sovereignty.  Because tribal casinos often employ large numbers of non-Native Americans, tribal casino labor relations have become a new arena for contests over the boundaries of tribal sovereignty.  This article investigates recent tribal casino labor relations court rulings (e.g. Little River, Soaring Eagle, and Pauma) through the lens of settler colonialism in order to understand new revisions to legal precedents.  It argues that settler colonialism continues to underlie federal policies and that the growth of tribal casinos reveal that the federal government may intervene to undercut tribal sovereignty.

Introduction. Erectile dysfunction (ED) is one of the most common male urological complaints. At the same time, ED is pathogenetically closely associated with many life-threatening diseases (coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular diseases). Purpose. Based on Doppler data, determine the relationship between the blood flow in the cavernous arteries and intracardiac hemodynamics. Materials and methods. There are 246 men aged 40-65 years with complaints of erectile dysfunction was evaluated. The examination included anthropometry, questionnaires (IIEF-5, AMS), biochemical, hormonal blood tests and a comprehensive instrumental study: (Penile Doppler ultrasound, Holter ECG monitoring, Treadmill test, EchoCG). Results. Patients with arteriogenic ED have a significantly different risk factor profile. These patients have worse indicators of intracardiac hemodynamics compared to ED of other etiology - a higher ratio of the maximum rate of early and late left ventricular filling (E / A), lower rates of slowing down of early diastolic left ventricular filling and the time of isovolumic relaxation of the left ventricle. A significant correlation was found between the peak systolic blood flow velocity in the cavernous bodies of the penis, the resistance index in the cavernous arteries, and the E/A ratio. Discussion. Arteriogenic ED may be a sign of left ventricular diastolic myocardial dysfunction in men without symptoms of cardiovascular disease and may be a criterion for the formation of a group of high cardiovascular risk. Conclusions. Penile hemodynamics can be used as a predictive marker for early forms of cardiovascular disease.

Published: September 2021

Introduction. Sperm morphology is one of the most common tests in fertility practice. The interlaboratory variability is the main drawback of the method. The clinical significance of sperm morphology in assisted reproductive technologies is controversial. The aim of the review is to address this question. Materials and methods. The search of relevant publications was carried out in PubMed and e-Library databases using the keywords «male infertility», «sperm morphology», «teratozoospermia», «IUI», «IVF», «ICSI». Conference abstracts and dissertations were excluded from analysis and 56 publications were included in this literature review. Results. The small numbers of studies were evaluated to the effect of teratozoospermia on the likelihood of natural pregnancy. The pregnancy rate was higher in the group of couples with normozoospermia. In the couples with severe teratozoospermia pregnancies rate was also detected. The most studies did not reveal a statistically significant effect of tertozoospermia on the frequency of pregnancy during intrauterine insemination. The data about the influence of sperm morphology on in vitro fertilization are contradictory. Early studies showed a positive correlation between normal sperm morphology and frequency of conception, but these results were not confirmed in further studies. The most studies have not been revealed the correlation between normal sperm morphology male fertility status, clinical and live birth rate. Discussion. To date the spermatozoa mofophology studying remains the «starting point» ofa man's examination for infertility. However, the data available do not confirm its role in choosing the method ofassisted reproductive technologies or predicting their results. Conclusions. To date the role of sperm morphology on conceive and pregnancy frequencies in ART use is controversal. The data available does not confirm the value of this test as a proxy of higher pregnancy and birth of healthy child probability. The further studies are required to address this question.

Introduction. Amount of prostate biopsy procedures rises every year and up to 95% of cases of prostate biopsy is performed via transrectal approach. The incidence of infectious complications of transrectal prostate biopsy reaches up to 17%, while incidence of such complications of transperineal biopsy is about 1%. The majority of international clinical guidelines recommends for obligatory antibiotic prophylaxis prior to prostate biopsy of any approach, but the choice of antibiotic is still debatable. The aim of this review is to sum up the approaches of international urological guidelines to the antibiotic prophylaxis prior to prostate biopsy. Materials and methods. We analyzed the search results in the scientific databases PubMed, Google Scolar, elibrary.ru for the queries «prostate biopsy», «antibacterial prophylaxis» and «guidelines». Results. According to the recommendations of most professional communities, antibacterial prophylaxis of infectious complications of prostate biopsy can be carried out in various ways - once or for a long time, one- or two-component, empirically or on the basis of urine culture on microflora. Conclusion. Despite the differences in the levels of sensitivity and resistance of coliform flora around the world, the clinical guidelines in most countries are uniform in terms of the choice of drugs to reduce the risk of developing infectious complications after prostate biopsy. Approaches to antibacterial prophylaxis after prostate biopsy differ only depending on the type of biopsy access.

Introduction. Bladder neck sclerosis (BNS) is a widespread complication of the surgical treatment of prostate diseases. Nevertheless, the etiology and pathogenesis of BNC development are not well understood, the frequency and degree of iatrogenic BNS varies depending on what treatment took place before its appearance. Treatment options for BNS can vary from simple dilatation to complex surgical interventions. Clinical variants of BNS, as well as their treatment options, vary in complexity, from simple short annular contractures to obliterating stenosis, which requires a significant expansion of surgical treatment volume. The purpose of this study – is to assess the effectiveness of modern and alternative methods of prevention and treatment of BNS based on the analysis of published studies. Materials and methods. The search and analysis of publications in the databases PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane Library, elibrary, according to the keywords, «bladder neck sclerosis», «benign prostatic hyperplasia», «bladder neck contracture», «bladder neck stenosis», «balloon dilatation», «treatment». As a result, 46 publications were selected and included in this review. Results and discussion. In this review, we highlighted the routine and alternative methods of BNS treatment. Currently, there are quite modern methods for treating prostate diseases (using robotic techniques, electrosurgical resections, and enucleations, laser enucleations, etc.), which are often complicated by secondary BNS. Nowadays, there are a lot of routine and alternative methods of treatment of secondary BNS in the urologist’s armamentarium. Routine methods include TUR and incision of the bladder neck using electric and laser energy, alternative methods include balloon dilatation, installation of a urethral stent, instillation (or intraoperative injection) of the bladder with cytostatics, hormonal drugs, derivatives of hyaluronic acid, and biomedical cell products. Conclusions. According to the literature from the listed alternative treatment methods for BNS, balloon dilatation is the most promising one. Based on the results of the literature analysis, we concluded that the use of balloon dilatation as a method of primary (least invasive) treatment and prevention of the occurrence of BNS is advisable.

Authors: Amélia Nkutxi Vueba , Maria do Céu Sousa
Published: September 2021

Rubella remains an important pathogen worldwide, with many cases of congenital rubella syndrome per year. Rubella vaccination is included in the vaccination program of many countries. WHO has set goals for the elimination of measles and rubella and prevention of congenital rubella syndrome by 2020. Worldwide, the rubella vaccine is highly effective and safe, and as a result, endemic rubella transmission has been halted in the Americas since 2009. Incomplete rubella vaccination programs result in continuous disease transmission, as evidenced by major recent outbreaks in some countries around the world. In this review, we present the rubella control, elimination and eradication policies and a brief review of the rubella laboratory diagnosis.
Design of a Fuzzy Logic Classification System for an Ocular Sun Protection Factor
Authors: Fragalli Andre , Ventura Liliane
Published: September 2021

There is no reliable and universal method to assess and compare protective properties of lenses, which is generally communicated to the purchasers by sunglasses categories based on lenses only, classifying the entire sun transmission spectrum (ultraviolet, infrared and visible), without accounting the geometry of the frame, nor the back reflection of the lenses, which is a serious problem. The present work develops a fuzzy classification system whose purpose is to create a reliable method to rate and compare sunglasses through their sun protective properties. This system treats the pre-acquired data relative to the lenses, i.e. ultraviolet transmittance and back reflection, in addition to the frame coverage data through the fuzzification interface, followed by the fuzzy inference process and later by the defuzzification interface. The output is an alphabetic rate of the protective eyewear to inform consumers, in a simple way to understand, regarding the sun protective properties of the sunglasses they purchase. Through the results it was possible to prove the effectiveness of choosing a fuzzy system for this classification system, as it was able to translate, in mathematical terms, the linguistic rules, classifying each of the various possible combinations of the inputs to one of the six factors stipulated for the ocular sun protection factor (OSPF) proposed in this work.

Abstract

Educational programs for students with mental retardation emphasize the preparation of students to live independently after finishing school. One educational strategy for children and adolescents with mental retardation is to teach daily life skills. The purpose of this study is to conduct a literature review on strategies to teach daily life skills to children and adolescents with mental retardation. Literature searches were carried out on seven databases, namely ERIC, SpringerLink, ScienceDirect, SAGE, JSTOR, Emerald Insight and Google Schoolar. The keywords used in this search are "teaching daily living skills" and "mental retardation"; "Teaching daily living skills" and "intellectual disability". A total of 5 articles (N = 614) will be reviewed through a screening process based on inclusive and exclusive criteria. The results show that there are strategies to teach daily life skills to children and adolescents with mental retardation by using video prompting, video modeling, constant-time delay and most-to-least prompt.

Estimating News Coverage Patterns using Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA)
Authors: Mahoto Naeem Ahmed
Published: September 2021

The growing rate of unstructured textual data has made an open challenge for the knowledge discovery, which aims extracting desired information from large collection of data. This study presents a system to derive news coverage patterns with the help of probabilistic model – Latent Dirichlet Allocation. Pattern is an arrangement of words within collected data that more likely appear together in certain context. The news coverage patterns have been computed as number function of news articles comprising of such patterns. A prototype, as a proof, has been developed to estimate the news coverage patterns for a newspaper – The Dawn. Analyzing the news coverage patterns from different aspects has been carried out using multidimensional data model. Further, the extracted news coverage patterns are illustrated by visual graphs to yield in-depth understanding of the topics, which have been covered in the news. The results also assist in identification of schema related to newspaper and journalists’ articles.
Power Quality Analysis of Controlled Rectifiers and their Impact on Input Power System
Authors: Ghaffar Abdul
Published: September 2021

Pakistan these days facing major energy crisis especially in the power sector. But to overcome these crisis major companies and the govt. of Pakistan is playing vital role so that supply could meet the demand. In association to this a major project National Power System Expansion Plan 2011-2030 has started which further increases the complexity of power system, but one thing in which these power companies are lagging is in the improvement of power quality.

This paper introduces the power quality analysis of AC-DC converter topologies and their impact on input power system. Due to latest advancement in the technologies and its usage it is impossible to put barriers for the applications of power electronics topologies. These topologies are of different structure and causes harmonics when connected to the power system, these harmonics affects the power quality of the system network. Due to their wide usage it necessary to observe their impact on the input power system, which includes THD (total harmonic distortion) and distortion in the input power factor etc.

This research work focuses on the power quality analysis of the power system. In this paper input THD of single-pulse, two-pulse and six-pulse controlled rectifier are analysed using FFT analysis in MATLAB and their effect on input power system are also discussed.

Published: September 2021

Detection and recognition of urban road traffic signs is an important part of the Modern Intelligent Transportation System (ITS). It is a driver support function which can be used to notify and warn the driver for any possible incidence on the current stretch of road. This paper presents a robust and novel Time Space Relationship Model for high positive urban road traffic sign detection and recognition for a running vehicle. There are three main contributions of the proposed framework. Firstly, it applies fast color-segment algorithm based on color information to extract candidate areas of traffic signs and reduce the computation load. Secondly, it verifies the traffic sign candidate areas to decrease false positives and raise the accuracy by analysing the variation in preceding video-images sequence while implementing the proposed Time Space Relationship Model. Lastly, the classification is done with Support Vector Machine with dataset from real-time detection of TSRM. Experimental results indicate that the accuracy, efficiency, and the robustness of the framework are satisfied on urban road and detect road traffic sign in real time.
Dinamika Kebijakan Perencanaan Pembangunan Nasional Indonesia
Authors: Reza Hariyadi Ade
Published: September 2021

This paper describes how the evolution of national development planning policies in Indonesia is mainly related to the philosophical, political and economic framework factors that influence it, as well as how the challenges and policy scenarios that can be taken in responding to the issue of amendments to the 1945 Constitution to establish the State Policy Guidelines as national development guidelines. The analysis found that changes in the national development planning policy model were driven by a number of factors such as the mainstream and the state's political direction, the configuration of existing political power and the dominant economic mainstream at that time. These factors not only affect the national development planning policy model, but also become a challenge in the planning and implementation of national development in Indonesia.
