Characteristics of a Cutoff Cavity Probe Applicable to Crack Detection Using the Forced Resonance Microwave Method
Authors: Kim Ki-Chai , Kim Jong-Woo , Kwon Jae-Yong , Kang No-Weon
Published: November 2020

This paper presents the current characteristics inside a cutoff cavity slot probe applied to crack detection using the forced resonance microwave method (FRMM). Crack detection using FRMM has two stages: preparation and detection. In the preparation stage, the current characteristics inside the probe with a shorting plate are important for determining the crack signal and detection sensitivity. The cutoff cavity probe produces a forced resonance by adjusting a control element. There are two kinds of forced resonance: series resonance (SR) and parallel resonance (PR). Four types of current characteristics are applied to crack detection using FRMM: SR, the region around SR, the region around PR, and non-resonance. These current characteristics are discussed from the point of view of current change for crack detection. The experimental results are compared with the theoretical results to check the current state inside the cutoff cavity probe.
Human Identification by Measuring Respiration Patterns Using Vital FMCW Radar
Authors: Kim Sangdong , Kim Bongseok , Jin Youngseok , Lee Jonghun
Published: November 2020

This letter proposes a method of human identification that measures respiration patterns using frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar. We exploit the fact that respiration signal patterns are unique to each individual, and FMCW radar is employed to obtain the respiration information. Based on the strengths of FMCW radar, the proposed algorithm compensates for the inability to distinguish the respiration signals of multiple users, which are difficult for continuous wave radar to measure. The proposed algorithm also employs a deep neural network algorithm instead of the K-nearest neighbor algorithm that was used in a previous study. The proposed algorithm further improves the performance by using a least mean square filter in the input signal of the DNN. The experimental results show that the proposed human identification method successfully classified four persons.

Published: November 2020

The introduction of point-of-care tests (POCTs) has presented new opportunities for the management of patients presenting to healthcare providers with acute respiratory symptoms. This Perspective article is based on the experiences of national infection teams/those managing acute respiratory infections across the United Kingdom in terms of the challenges and opportunities that this may present for public health. This Perspective article was conceived and written pre-coronavirus disease (COVID-19), however the principles we outline here for influenza can also be translated to COVID-19 and some key points are made throughout the article. The greatest challenge for intergrating POCTs into non-traditional environments is the capture of data and samples for surveillance purposes which provides information for public health action. However, POCTs together with measures outlined in this article, offer a new paradigm for the management and public health surveillance of patients with influenza.

Authors: Khan Muhammad Abdullah
Published: November 2020

This study was aimed to investigate the effect of three managerial styles i.e. autocratic, democratic, and laissez-faire of head teachers on the professional and organization commitment of teachers at elementary level. This research is descriptive and correlation in nature. A survey instrument was self-developed and validated through expert opinions and pilot study. The stratified cluster random sampling technique was used to select 540 teachers (40 %) including 274 male and 266 female from the population. The findings of the study show that most practiced managerial style was democratic and least practice was laissez-faire. The organizational and professional commitment levels of the teachers were significantly positive correlated with democratic and negative correlated with autocratic managerial style. It is recommended that head teachers may adopt democratic managerial style to enhance the professional and organizational commitment of teachers. The Punjab Education Department may arrange the training through Directorate of Staff Development for head teachers to practice democratic managerial style to increase the organizational and professional commitment of teachers. Head teachers may develop passion of duty and commitment in teachers by making educational and organizational plan with the collaboration of teachers and assigning duties according to their abilities, interests and willingness. The effect of other variables on teachers’ commitment like national educational policies, cooperation of community and parents, work environment, academic qualification, professional qualification and experience of teachers may be examine in further studies.

Authors: Akhtar Nasreen , Saleem Khalid , Awan Farhana Kausar
Published: November 2020

In an attempt to enhance educational quality, the Province of the Punjab introduced District Teachers Educators (DTE) into schools (mainly primary) with the aims of offering support and mentoring to teachers, providing professional development opportunities along with a monitoring role based mainly on monthly student- testing. The main objective of this study is to explore the problems the DTE face in fulfilling their roles in schools. A sample was selected by using convenient sampling technique. The qualitative approach was used to collect data through interviews in this study. This study reveals problems related to the ownership of the process by teachers and head-teachers, the lack of resources often hindering effective work, and the entire process of monitoring by means of student testing facing great difficulties. The conflict in the roles of the DTE is discussed as they seek to integrate a supportive role with that of monitoring, whereas the basis of monitoring is questioned in the light of consistent international research evidence. The study recommends that the conflicts among the monitoring teachers should be resolved. Moreover, their time would be better spent in the supportive-enhancement role, leaving the monitoring role aside. It is suggested that DTEs should be given time to read, and collate evidence from the wide range of literature to learn new insights in education

Published: November 2020

Present study intended to assess the generic competences of higher education students. Self-perceived level of generic competences of the students in the beginning and the end of an academic session was recorded to explore the role of higher education in imparting them the generic competences. All the students entering the University of Sargodha (Pakistan) during 2012, constituted the population of the study. Cluster sampling technique was used to carry out the panel survey. The same cohort of the students was surveyed twice over a period of one academic year. This study adopted a version of the Reflex Project instrument, consisting of 19 competences, to collect data from students of both genders in public-sector universities in Pakistan. Data were collected from 932 students (cluster sampling) studying at 10 (randomly) selected departments. There were 408 male and 525 female students in the study. The students rated themselves on a seven-point scale whose reliability was 0.82. The results indicated that higher education played its role in imparting and promoting the existing set of generic competences from the beginning to the end of the academic session; but the increase in the competence level was noted only to a modest level. Gender differences were found among the students in a few of the generic competences.
Crítica al discurso representativista como desenmascaramiento de la metafísica
Authors: Bisang Sebastián , Fava Fernando
Published: November 2020

Los cuestionamientos nietzscheanos al pensamiento metafísico desde el rechazo a la concepción tradicional del lenguaje, se entienden a partir de la asimilación crítica que Nietzsche realiza de pensadores inscriptos en la órbita del neokantismo como podrían considerarse a Schopenhauer, Hartmann o Lange.

Durante los años 1865-1872, de un modo muy intuitivo, con fórmulas heredadas de su admirado maestro Schopenhauer, y bajo el influjo del proyecto cultural wagneriano, Nietzsche va combinando su bagaje cultural con lecturas de pensadores de cuño crítico como Lange o Hartmann. Ensayando su propio pensamiento desde bocetos no exentos de tensiones y confrontaciones, como también de intuiciones geniales. Un universo de lecturas que poco tiempo después (1873) el joven catedrático de Basilea, reorientará desde los aspectos tropológicos del lenguaje, a partir de su recepción de Die Sprache als Kunst de G. Gerber.

En el siguiente artículo, nos proponemos trazar una génesis de su crítica al “pensamiento metafísico” desde la reconstrucción de sus preocupaciones tempranas en torno al conocimiento. Focalizándonos en los Nachgelassene Fragmente de este período (1865-1875), intentaremos reconstruir la poliédrica recepción nietzscheana de la crítica epistemológica asumida por Lange, el valor de lo instintivo-inconsciente en la configuración de las representaciones sostenida por Hartmann y el carácter ilusorio del conocimiento propuesto por Schopenhauer. Un entramado de ideas que bien reflejan los póstumos de esta etapa y que, si tomamos como hilo genealógico-interpretativo sus preocupaciones lingüísticas, se revelarán como la verdadera geología del mapa conceptual explayado en Über Wahrheit und Lüge im aussermoralischen Sinne. Escrito en el que Nietzsche no sólo sintetiza, concretiza y clarifica este camino de búsqueda, sino que prefigura los parámetros, la cartografía, de su pensamiento maduro.

Permanent Outdoor Advertising (POA) is one of the media for providing public space information to impact the viewer with words, with or without photographs. That details to the public on programs, goods, lifestyles, dreams, and values. Advertising is an important and very important tool in economic and business terms because it is direct communication with the audience. POA also generates the image and visual quality of public spaces as an urban physical feature in terms of urban planning. A important location for information dissemination is the high speed of motion in arterial and collector roads. The POA is something that draws attention and can enhance the region's picture. Advertisers, however, frequently disregard the detrimental impact of RRLs on the physical condition of urban space for the sole purpose of offering economic benefits. In Denpasar, POA is divided into 1) electronic billboards and 2) billboards, and POA typology can be divided into a) independent structure (free-standing POA) centered on technological installation; b) related to another structure (attached POA). The main issues of POA implementation in Denpasar City are: 1) security, 2) beauty/aesthetic, and 3) legibility are the key issues of the POA implementation in Denpasar City. These questions emerged from several aspects, namely: 1) land use; 2) structure and construction; 3) placement; 4) form, scale, and quantity; 5) orientation; 6) lighting; 7) material. The planning principles of the POA in Denpasar should be evaluated on the basis of contextual problems and the arterial and collector roads surrounding them. The POA identification is carried out in Denpasar City on twenty-nine main roads, including all three arterial roads, and on twenty-six collector roads. Two functions representing both arterial and collector roads in Denpasar were chosen for the study position on the main road with primary arterial function, collector-one, and collector. Post-occupancy evaluation (POE) was the research approach used in this study with a qualitative analysis methodology that observes and analyzes the POA conditions that occurred on selected roads in Denpasar Area, which are used as a basis for structuring the principles and aspects of POA planning.
Building Cybersecurity Regulation in Southeast Asia: A Challenge for the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN)
Authors:   Universitas Pertamina, Indonesia, Ramadhan Iqbal
Published: November 2020

For each nation-state, technology has become a new backbone. It links a range of critical infrastructures, including finance, banking, security, water, electricity, and transport. As Southeast Asia's dominant regional body, ASEAN enjoys privileges and benefits from emerging technology. In recent years, digital trade has enhanced the economic growth of ASEAN. Nßon-traditional threats such as a cyber attack are, however, the result of the modern world. Malware, malware, and advanced persistent threat (APT) lurk in every corner of cyberspace, seeking to cripple and shut down ASEAN's economic interest. The lack of rigorous regulation and a major technological gap among ASEAN members is the biggest challenge to strengthen cybersecurity in Southeast Asia. When conflict comes from the cyber world, the absence of control will jeopardize their interests. Using Archer's theory of international organization, the author aims to examine the policy in Southeast Asia to issue firm cybersecurity regulations. To improve the debate, the authors used the qualitative approach and secondary data. ASEAN needs to set the standard, aggregate and socialize the national interests of all members and enforce the unique legal formal process from the viewpoint of the authors. The Cybersecurity Regulation should certainly be consistent with the essential basis of the Treaty of Amity and Cooperation.
Schizophrenia: Epidemiology, Causes, Neurobiology, Pathophysiology, and Treatment
Authors:   California State University Channel Islands (USA), Community Memorial Health System (USA), Volkan Kevin
Published: November 2020

Schizophrenia is a severe mental illness that has devastating consequences for those who suffer from the disorder. The epidemiology of schizophrenia indicates that it occurs relatively often, in many different contexts, and in conjunction with other disorders, decreasing quality of life and causing premature death. There has been an enormous amount of research into the causes of schizophrenia and there is now have a much better understanding of the genetic, environmental, and psychological factors that contribute to the disease. While there are numerous ways to understand and conceptualize schizophrenia, a unified picture of the neurobiology, changes in brain structure, cognitive and social-cognitive impairments related to the disorder has yet to emerge. Convulsive therapies and psychosurgery were used unsuccessfully, indiscriminately and without scientific validation in the past to treat schizophrenia. Medical advances including advanced imaging technology have now provided the ability to perform specifically focused neuromodulation and psychosurgery in severe and treatment resistant cases of schizophrenia. While still at a preliminary stage, these approaches have the potential to yield effective treatments in the future. For the last 70 years antipsychotic medication has become the prevailing treatment for schizophrenia. However, many people suffering from the disorder have trouble with side-effects and adhering to a regimen of antipsychotic medication. Newer pharmacological agents are being developed and include not only novel antipsychotic drugs, but anti-inflammatory and immunomodulating agents as well. These new agents, used either alone or in combination, have the potential to improve outcomes for people suffering from schizophrenia. Nevertheless, conclusively better pharmacotherapies will likely not arise until there is better understanding of the pathophysiology underlying schizophrenia. After the development of antipsychotic medication, psychotherapeutic methods for treating schizophrenia fell out of favor, but there is currently some reversal of this trend. The use of newer psychotherapies and modified forms of older therapeutic treatments are not only targeting the symptoms of schizophrenia but are also now focusing on recovery from the disorder. These newer approaches as well as efforts at preventing schizophrenia show promise in reducing the suffering caused by this disease.

Mental Control of Musical Imagery in the Lab and Everyday Life: Combining Behavioral and Experience-Sampling Approaches
Authors: Cotter Katherine N. , Silvia Paul
Published: November 2020

Mental control of musical imagery consists of two components: initiation—did you start it on purpose?—and management—did you alter, sustain, or end the experience after it began?. The present research examined these two components of mental control using both behavioral lab-based musical imagery tasks and self-reports of mental control in daily life using experience sampling methods. Both music students and members of the general university community participated. This project had four primary aims: (1) examining the relationship between initiation and management of musical imagery; (2) assessing how mental control abilities differ as a function of stimulus type; (3) describing perceptions of initiation and management in daily life; and (4) evaluating how well performance on lab-based behavioral tasks aligns with self-reported mental control in daily life. The findings suggest that initiation and management abilities are closely related, people perform equivalently when asked to control tonal stimuli and song stimuli, people generally report the ability to control musical imagery in daily life, and self-report and behavioral assessments of mental control of musical imagery show a modest association. These findings have implications for current understandings of control of musical imagery and identify several avenues for future research.

Pain recognition and treatment in companion animals are important aspects of veterinary medicine, yet the teaching of these concepts may not be adequate at all academic institutions. This study was designed to evaluate veterinary students’ ability to recall signs of pain and specific analgesic drugs in dogs and cats. We hypothesized that students in the fourth, or final, year of their veterinary curriculum would have a better understanding of pain recognition and be able to recall more analgesic options. A brief, voluntary, and anonymous open question survey was made available to all veterinary students, years 1 to 4, at our institution. The questions included, “How does a cat/dog show signs of pain?” and “What pain medications are used in cats/dogs?” Survey responses were collated according to the students’ year in the curriculum, and the most common responses for signs of pain and analgesic medications recalled by the students in both the cat and dog were compared for significant differences. Results showed that students in the class of 2017 (seniors) had no superior recall of analgesic medications or recognition of pain in cats or dogs compared to the other classes. Vocalization was the most common sign of pain recalled with at least 50% responses from all classes. Carprofen was the most commonly recalled analgesic for dogs (the difference between classes, p = .04). Meloxicam was the most commonly recalled analgesic for cats (the difference among classes, p < .001). Based on these results, areas of improvement were identified for our analgesic curriculum.

As central members of the veterinary education community, students are well placed to highlight current problems in veterinary education. Motivated by the lack of current formal student involvement, the largest global veterinary student association, the International Veterinary Students’ Association (IVSA), realized the necessity for students to express their opinions within the veterinary education field. Thus, two standing committees related to veterinary education were created: the Standing Committee on One Health in 2013 and the Standing Committee on Veterinary Education in 2014. For 7 years, veterinary students have been acting in a four-dimensional plane to involve students in (a) electronic educational resources and e-learning, (b) interdisciplinary collaboration and One Health, (c) curriculum involvement, and (d) vocational guidance. Through multiple projects, such as student and tutor interaction, idea exchanges, development of e-resources, and curriculum development campaigns, IVSA has managed to increase awareness to students and schools of the important role students play within veterinary education. This article highlights students’ ability to work together to help other students learn and succeed within their veterinary studies, as well as the necessity for student engagement in curricular renewal and development. Consequently, IVSA’s projects and achievements are described, highlighting a from students—to students approach to promote active student involvement in veterinary education and curricula globally.
Metallurgical failure analysis of an exploded CO2 gas cylinder
Authors: Hassan Syed Fida
Published: November 2020

A gas cylinder, containing carbon dioxide (CO2) in a manifold of sixteen cylinders, exploded in an outdoor building construction site at midday within two hours of its arrival from a filling station. It was to be used for construction welding. The seamless gas cylinder that exploded was made of low alloy steel with a tempered martensitic microstructure. Observation revealed the presence of discreet localized external corrosion which weakened the gas cylinder extremely. A study concluded that the midday outdoor heat had apparently increased the pressure of the carbon dioxide gas within which in turn led to the sudden catastrophic explosion of the weakened corroded gas cylinder.

The aim of this study was to coat different types of Stellite (1, 6 and 12) whose carbon rates vary on Hardox 450 and St 52 steel by means of tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding. For the purpose of microstructure investigations after welding, SEM, EDX, X-Ray and microhardness tests were carried out. It was observed that different types of Stellite coating with different features have an effective influence on microstructure and in the presence of dendritic nets between the grains decreased when the carbon content in Stellite coating decreased and when the substrates varied. In addition, it was determined in microhardness examinations that hardness increased with increasing carbon content and that the highest hardness value of 762 HV in sample S1 was attained. Consequently, positive results have been given for coating Hardox 450 steel and St 52 steel with Stellite via the TIG method.
Joint strength optimization and morphological analysis for friction stir spot welding of the dissimilar thermoplastics ABS and PC
Authors: Ülker Aydın , Ayaz Asil
Published: November 2020

The present study aims to investigate the feasibility of friction stir spot welding two dissimilar polymers, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene and polycarbonate. Welding parameters are effective on lap joint shear load. This study also investigated the influences of welding parameters such as rotational speed, plunge depth, and dwell time on the joint morphology and mechanical characterization. In addition, a common problem in friction stir spot welding is the forming of characteristic keyholes in the joint,s a problem that has an important effect on mechanical test results. For this reason, a polycarbonate filler sheet was used to improve the lap joint shear load by reducing the size of the keyhole in this study. The quality of the welded specimens was examined after lap joint shear tests. Experiments were carried out according to Taguchi L9 orthogonal array using a randomized approach for arranging optimum welding parameters. Signal-to-noise ratio and the analysis of variance were used to determine the influences of each process parameter on the lap joint shear load. Results indicated that the friction stir spot welding of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene with polycarbonate is feasible and welding parameters significantly affected joint quality. From the experiments, a 57 % improvement was achieved in the lap joint shear load from the initial welding parameters to the optimal welding parameters. Furthermore, weld morphology was investigated by morphological analysis and visual comparisons. Finally, the failure modes of the fractured samples were observed and classified for highest, moderate, and lowest lap joint shear loads.
Measurement of the dielectric properties of various monoolein/ water mesophases between 90 and 140 GHz
Authors: Yang Chuang , Wang Jian
Published: November 2020

In this paper, the dielectric properties of a series of glyceryl monoolein/ water liquid crystal systems containing 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, and 50 wt.-% water are measured between 90 and 140 GHz. An IEEE standard WR-08 waveguide shim is used as a sample holder. The holder is filled with the monoolein/water liquid crystal system during measurement. The S-parameters of the sample holder filled with the liquid crystal systems are measured using 90-140 GHz millimeter-wave test equipment. The dielectric properties of the crystal systems are extracted from the measured transmission parameters (S21) using the Newton algorithm. We find that the dielectric properties of these glyceryl monoolein/water liquid crystal systems from 90 GHz to 140 GHz are not sensitive to frequency. That is in contrast to the low-frequency dielectric properties in the literature. We also find that the imaginary component of the dielectric spectroscopy between 90 and 140 GHz can identify the phase of the monoolein/water liquid crystal system. The finds in this paper are important for monoolein study.

Introduction: This study aimed to develop a questionnaire in Malay language for the identification of risk factors for myopia among primary school children aged 10 to 12 years old in Malaysia. Materials and Methods: The study commenced in October 2012 till Julai 2013 in two main phases. The first phase was a pilot study for the construction of questionnaire items by literature review and discussion with the experts. A total of 103 parents of primary school children were randomly selected to test the comprehensibility of the preliminary questionnaire. The second phase was the actual study which involved parents of 353 primary school children , 132 were parents whose children were myopes and 221 parents whose children were nonmyopes. Results: Discussions with experts in human vision science identified 5 main domains and 71 items for the preliminary questionnaire. A total of 55 items were retained for the actual study phase in view of statistically good correlation (r = 0.4 and above). Predictive validity by chi-square test allowed 28 items to be retained because of significant association with myopia (p <0.05). The correlation coefficient of testretest reliability result was considerably good (r = 0.765) and the validity in 2 categories of risk for myopia showed highly significant predictive validity of the questionnaire (p = 0.000). Conclusion: The developed Malay language questionnaire has good reliability and validity to identify the risk factors for myopia among primary school children in Malaysia.
