Use of bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon) cultivars resistant/tolerant to plant‐parasitic nematodes is an important component of integrated pest management (IPM) for sustainable turf nematode management in sandy coastal soils of the southeastern United States. A multiyear field experiment evaluated five bermudagrass genotypes (‘Tifway’, standard susceptible; two commercial cultivars, ‘TifSport’ and ‘Celebration’; and two experimental germplasm, BA132 and PI 291590, that were identified as tolerant to sting nematode [Belonolaimus longicaudatus]) and four different nematicide regimes (untreated control, Curfew Soil Fumigant [1,3‐dichloropropene], monitoring‐based IPM [action threshold nematicide program], and calendar‐based IPM [nematicide rotation]). Nematode samples were collected at 3‐month intervals from February 2012 to November 2014. No significant differences among the genotypes with regard to population density of sting nematode were documented, but there were differences among genotypes with regard to some of the other plant‐parasitic nematodes, particularly spiral (Helicotylenchus paxilli) and ring (Mesocriconema ornatum) nematodes. There were significant nematicide regime responses on nematode population level after August 2013. A calendar‐based IPM program rotating Nortica (Bacillus firmus strain I‐1582), Multiguard Protect (furfural), MustGrow Invest (Brassica juncea), and Avid (abamectin) significantly reduced the nematode population density compared with a monitoring‐based IPM program and the standard soil fumigant nematicide Curfew. In the untreated control, nematode population densities were significantly higher than in the other treatments. Celebration and PI 291590 bermudagrass genotypes had better percent green cover throughout the study.

One of the data integration methods is data consolidation. This method captures data from multiple source systems/data and integrates it into a single persistent data. We examined the performance of data consolidation using k-means and Gaussian mixture clustering. Meanwhile, we use Silhouette index as cluster validation and measure how well of a clustering relative to others. The experiments analyses the data in various data duplication rate and actual number of data cluster. Based on the experimental result, there are two factors affecting the performance of data consolidation. These factors are the rate/percentage of duplicate data and the number of actual cluster contained in a data. The higher percentages of duplicate data and less number of clusters contained in the data would be increasing the performance of clustering algorithm.

Salah satu metode dari integrasi data adalah konsolidasi data. Metode ini mengambil data dari beberapa sumber data untuk digabungkan menjadi data persisten tunggal. Peneliti memeriksa kinerja konsolidasi data menggunakan beberapa teknik clustering yaitu k-means dan gaussian mixture clustering. Penulis menggunakan Silhouette index sebagai metode validasi cluster untuk mengukur seberapa baik suatu pengelompokan relatif terhadap data lain. Penelitian ini melakukan analisis data terhadap jumlah rata-rata duplikasi data dan jumlah sebenarnya dari cluster data. Berdasarkan hasil percobaan, ada dua faktor yang mempengaruhi kinerja integrasi data dengan menggunakan konsolidasi data. Faktor-faktor tersebut antara lain adalah tingkat atau persentase dari duplikasi data dan jumlah cluster sebenarnya yang terkandung dalam data. Persentase duplikasi data yang tinggi dan data yang mengandung jumlah cluster yang rendah, akan meningkatkan kinerja dari algoritma clustering.

Data management has a key role on how we access, organize, and integrate data. Research community is one of the domain on which data is disseminated, e.g., projects, publications, and members.There is no well-established standard for doing so, and therefore the value of the data decreases, e.g. in terms of accessibility, discoverability, and reusability. LinkedLab proposes a platform to manage data for research communites using Linked Data technique. The use of Linked Data affords a more effective way to access, organize, and integrate the data.

Manajemen data memilki peranan kunci dalam bagaimana kita mengakses, mengatur, dan mengintegrasikan data. Komunitas riset adalah salah satu domain dimana data disebarkan, contohnyadistribusi data dalam proyek, publikasi dan anggota.

The conventional multilevel thresholding methods are efficient for bi-level thresholding. However, these methods are computationally very expensive for use in multilevel thresholding because the search of optimum threshold do in depth to optimize the objective function. To overcome these drawbacks, a hybrid method of Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), called GA-PSO, based multilevel thresholding is presented in this paper. GA-PSO algorithm is used to find the optimal threshold value to maximize the objective function of the Otsu method. GA-PSO method proposed has been tested on five standard test images and compared with particle swarm optimization algorithm (PSO) and genetic algorithm (GA). The results showed the effectiveness in the search for optimal multilevel threshold of the proposed algorithm.

Abstract

Nowadays, there are many robotic applications being developed to do tasks autonomously without any interactions or commands from human. Therefore, developing a system which enables a robot to do surveillance such as detection and tracking of a moving object will lead us to more advanced tasks carried out by robots in the future. AR.Drone is a flying robot platform that is able to take role as UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle). Usage of computer vision algorithm such as Hough Transform makes it possible for such system to be implemented on AR.Drone. In this research, the developed algorithm is able to detect and track an object with certain shape and color. Then the algorithm is successfully implemented on AR.Drone quadcopter for detection and tracking.

Plants play important roles for the existence of all beings in the world. High diversity of plant’s species make a manual observation of plants classifying becomes very difficult. Fractal dimension is widely known feature descriptor for shape or texture. It is utilized to determine the complexity of an object in a form of fractional dimension. On the other hand, lacunarity is a feature descriptor that able to determine the heterogeneity of a texture image. Lacunarity was not really exploited in many fields. Moreover, there are no significant research on fractal dimension and lacunarity combination in the study of automatic plant’s leaf classification. In this paper, we focused on combination of fractal dimension and lacunarity features extraction to yield better classification result. A box counting method is implemented to get the fractal dimension feature of leaf boundary and vein. Meanwhile, a gliding box algorithm is implemented to get the lacunarity feature of leaf texture. Using 626 leaves from flavia, experiment was conducted by analyzing the performance of both feature vectors, while considering the optimal box size r. Using support vector machine classifier, result shows that combined features able to reach 93.92 % of classification accuracy.

Published: July 2016

We propose a simplified method for measuring the maturity levels of an organization’s information technology (IT) processes that is based on IT Governance Institute’s COBIT (Control Objectives for Information and Related Technology) framework. The method is designed for quickly assessing an organization’s IT process maturity in situations where the availability of information for a more thorough assessment method is very limited. To investigate the accuracy of the proposed method, we evaluate the consistency between the result of the IT process maturity assessment of an organization and the conditions reported by the organization as impediment to the achievement of its IT goals. The underlying assumption is that a condition that is perceived by an organization as a problem will drive the organization to develop a process that can effectively deal with the condition. We show that there is good enough consistency to support the use of the proposed maturity assessment method. Kami mengusulkan sebuah metode sederhana untuk mengukur tingkat kematangan (maturity) dari proses teknologi informasi (TI) suatu organisasi yang didasarkan pada IT Governance Institute’s COBIT framework (Control Objectives for Information and Related Technology). Metode ini dirancang untuk melakukan penilaian dengan cepat dari tingkat kematangan proses TI suatu organisasi dalam situasi di mana ketersediaan informasi untuk metode penilaian yang lebih menyeluruh sangat terbatas. Untuk mengetahui ketepatan metode yang diusulkan, kami mengevaluasi konsistensi antara hasil penilaian kematangan proses TI dari suatu organisasi dan kondisi yang dilaporkan oleh organisasi sebagai rintangan bagi tercapainya tujuan IT. Asumsi yang mendasarinya adalah bahwa suatu kondisi yang dirasakan oleh organisasi sebagai masalah akan mendorong organisasi untuk mengembangkan sebuah proses yang dapat secara efektif menangani kondisi tersebut. Kami menunjukkan bahwa ada konsistensi yang cukup baik untuk mendukung penggunaan metode penilaian kematangan yang diusulkan.

Sistem pemerintahan di Indonesia pada saat ini masih berbasis kerja manual. Mekanisme ini mengakibatkan pembangunan di beberapa wilayah terabaikan. Selain itu, metode ini sering tidak didukung dengan standar pengerjaan yang jelas. Salah satu efek yang dirasakan adalah kurang terpenuhinya kebutuhan masyarakat. Permasalahan yang berbeda muncul di wilayah yang sudah dibangun dengan pesat. Pada daerah ini pengawasan dan peremajaan fasilitas yang sudah dibangun jarang sekali dilakukan. Hal ini memperpendek umur fasilitas tersebut. Hal-hal tersebut disebabkan karena perencanaan yang kurang matang dan tidak adaptif terhadap waktu. Penelitian ini mengusulkan sebuah sistem yang bernama Sistem BALITAROT (Perbaikan Lingkungan dan Tata Ruang Kota). Sistem ini dapat membantu pemerintah dan instansi terkait dalam menentukan kebijakan mengenai perbaikan lingkungan dan tata ruang kota. Government system in Indonesia is still based on manual work. These mechanisms lead to the development in some neglected areas. In addition, this method is often not supported by clear standards of work man ship. One effect that is felt is failed to fulfill community needs. Different problems arise in areas that have been built at a rapid pace. In this area, supervision and rejuvenation of facilities that already built is rarely done. It is shortening the life span of the facility. Those things are caused by unfinished planning and not adaptive to time. This study proposes a system called System BALITAROT (Restoration of Environment and City Layout). This system can help governments and relevant agencies in determining policy on environmental improvement and city layout.

Introduction:

Left Main Compression Syndrome (LMCS) represents an entity described as the extrinsic compression of the left main coronary artery (LMCA) by a dilated pulmonary artery (PA) trunk. We examined the presence of LMCS in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH) using dual-source computed tomography (DSCT), as a non-invasive diagnostic tool.

Methods:

The following parameters were measured: PA trunk diameter (PAD), the distance between PAD and LMCA (LMPA) and the distance between PA and aorta (AoPA). These measurements were related with demographic, echocardiographic, hemodynamic and clinical parameters. Angiography was performed in two patients with LMCS suspected by cardiac computed tomographic angiography. Patients without PH but with angina were examined as controls, using DSCT cardiac angiography to assess the same measurements and to detect the prevalence of coronary artery disease.

Results:

PA diameter value over 40.00 mm has been associated with PH and LMCS. Furthermore, LMCS did not occur at a distance smaller than 0.50 mm between the PA and the LMCA, and did not correlate with the distance between the PA and the aorta or with cardiac index and NT-proBNP.

Conclusion:

DSCT may represent the initial testing modality in PH patients with dilated PA trunk to exclude LMCS. A periodical rule-out of this rare entity, as assessed by DSCT, in patients with a severely dilated PA seems to be mandatory for PH patients contributing to survival improvement.

Hypertension has been associated as a pathogenesis involved in the renin angiotensin system. The most commonly used drug to block the AT1R, is Losartan which has specific pharmacophore groups such as imidazole and biphenyl. However the development of new selective antagonists would be advantagous to improving the treatment of hypertension. We investigated innovative antihypertensive candidates1-3usingin vitroandin vivoassays.

Although only Compound2showed low affinity to the AT1R, it had no effect on blood pressure. Compound1produced a reduction in blood pressure and this effect seems to be mediated through ACE inhibition and not the blockage of the AT1R. Compound1was able to inhibit the ACE activity in a similar way to captopril, while Compounds2and3showed no effect on the enzyme activity.

Further studies need to be conducted to understand the mechanisms involved as well as signaling pathways.

Media coverage of the violent crime in the Republic of Macedonia
Authors: Stefanovska Vesna
Published: July 2016

Media is the main source of information about crime and the way it is
displayed determines the position and public perception of this phenomenon.
In addition to showing the commission of crime and its state, media are
obliged to cover not only the activities of the criminal justice system
within the framework of formal social control, but even more, the activities
of civil society organizations and the Ombudsman as part of informal social
control in combatting agaist crime. Because of the perception of their
action, the questions that arise are: How the media understands the civil
society and its role, how they transmit their public discourse, what they
choose to publish, whom they protect, whom they marginalise and what message
they send to the public? An analysis of these issues along with an analysis
of current offenses is of particular importance in order to determine whether
the media give a true or distorted picture of crime. Therefore, the aim of
the paper is to present results of the survey of media coverage of violent
crime in the Republic of Macedonia.
Some problems in use of the “Questionnaire for the assessment of risk for those sentenced to imprisonment for up to three years”
Authors: Petkovic Nikola , Pavlovic Zoran
Published: July 2016

The questionnaire for the assessment of risk for those sentenced to
imprisonment for up to three years is the main instrument of assessment used
in penitentiary institutions in Serbia. The results obtained with this
instrument create the basis of categorization, re-categorization of persons
within penal institutions, as well as an argument in deciding in various
criminal matters such as the procedure on the petition for conditional
release. Because objective assessment is a necessity of forensic and
educational work, the validity and reliability of the results obtained by

Published: July 2016

In the territory of Belgrade, at 16 sites (15 of test and one control), which
belong to different enviromental categories such as: parks (Topcider, Hajd
park, park Banovo brdo, Sumice, Usce), park-forests (Kosutnjak, Zvezdara, SP
Jajinci, Banjica, Ada Ciganlija) and forests (Avala, Lipovica, Bojcinska
forest, Manastirska forest, Makis), there were investigated potential and
actual risk of transmission of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato. Suplja Stena
was taken as a control site, where no chemical treatment was performed. Once
of month, from March to October 2012, ticks were collected by flag-hours
(drag-and-drop) method. Ticks were determined by the species and all Ixodes
ricinus were observed by a dark-field microscope. A total of 3,158 individual
ticks were collected, out of which 2,797 (88,6%) were Ixodes ricinus, 175
(5,5%) Dermacentor reticulatus and 186 (5,9%) Rhipicephalus sanguineus. At
forest sites there were collected 1,102 Ixodes ricinus, in park-forest
regions 730 and in the parks 569. Infection rate of ticks by B. burgdorferi
sensu lato at the forest sites ranged between 23,8 and 36,3%, in the
park-forests region 23,2-32,6% and 23,8 to 40% in the parks. Twelve of the
sites met the criteria for high potential risk and three of them for moderate
risk. Except for Makis, at all the forest sites, the actual risk from March
to April was certain, and in other months the risk varied. In the park-forest
regions, the actual risk was registered 16 times, the possible risk 23 times,
and the limited riosk once. At the sites belonging to the park areas, cetrain
actual risk was established 3 times, possible risk 30 times and the limited 7
times At the control site Suplja Stena, the actual risk of transmission of B.
burgdorferi sensu lato was registered during all the months of the reaserch.
At the teritory of Belgrade there are favorable conditions for maintaining
vector Lyme disease and the potential and actual risk of transmission of
Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato.

The objective of this work was to investigate the scope of production, export
and import of honey in the Republic of Serbia from 2004. to 2014. The results
are based on the report of the Statistical Office of the Republic of Serbia.
The observed period is characterized primarily by the increase in the number
of beehives as well as an incresed honey production, followed by honey price
growth and minor changes honey yield per hive. In this period, honey
production ranged from 2,561 tons (in 2008) to 8,554 tons (in 2013). The
largest volume of honey exports was in 2013. (3,367.7 tons, worth 14,881.4
thousand USD), and the largest import of honey into Serbia was in the same
year (60.6 tons, worth 240.3 thousand USD). In the monitored period, Germany
imported the largest quantities of honey from Serbia, about 4,611.0 tons
(worth about 19,546.9 thousand USD), and somewhat smaller amounts of honey
were imported by Italy and Montenegro. On the other hand, in the same period,
Serbia imported the largest quantities of honey from the Republic of
Macedonia, about 40.6 tons, worth 119.5 thousand USD. Beekeeping in Serbia
definitely has a great development potential, so accordingly, its production
should be encouraged in the future.
Unexpected bony structure in tonsillar fossa during tonsillectomy

Published: July 2016

Introduction. The elongated styloid process is a very rare clinical entity. In most cases it is asymptomatic, but also could cause Eagle?s syndrome. We presented a rare case of the anatomic variation of styloid process and its clinical implication. Case report. In the left tonsillar fossa an unexpected bony structure was found during the routine tonsillectomy on a 16-year-old female patient. Computed tomography showed the elongated styloid process. No further treatment was necessary because it was asymptomatic in the follow-up period. Conclusion. The elongated styloid process is a very rare condition, but physicians should be aware of it and keep it in mind in order to make the diagnosis in patients with suggestive symptoms.
Current Practices and Challenges in Auditing Fair Value Measurements and Complex Estimates: Implications for Auditing Standards and the Academy
Authors: Glover Steven M. , Taylor Mark H. , Wu Yi-Jing
Published: July 2016

Auditing fair value measurements and other complex estimates (hereafter, FVMs) has received significant attention from regulators, practitioners, and researchers. Using a survey, we gather data from audit partners with FVM expertise to gain further insights in areas that have not been fully explored in the previous literature. Specifically, we extend the literature by providing a deeper understanding of the following areas: auditors' use of different substantive approaches to test higher-risk FVMs, auditors' use of pricing services and valuation specialists, and how challenges differ when auditing financial versus nonfinancial FVMs. In doing so, our findings and analyses extend prior research and coalesce pieces of several prior studies on auditing FVMs to provide a more complete picture of current auditing practices and challenges encountered by auditors. Our study provides insights useful in reconciling seemingly inconsistent findings in previous studies and provides important implications for future research, regulation, and standard-setting.
The Relationship between Aggressive Real Earnings Management and Current and Future Audit Fees
Authors: Greiner Adam , Kohlbeck Mark J. , Smith Thomas J.
Published: July 2016

We examine the relationship between aggressive income-increasing real earnings management (REM) and current and future audit fees. Managers pursue REM activities to influence reported earnings and, as a consequence, alter cash flows and sacrifice firm value. We posit that the implications of REM are considered in auditors' assessments of engagement risk related to the client's economic condition and result in higher audit fees. We find that, with the exception of abnormal reductions in SG&A, aggressive income-increasing REM is positively associated with both current and future audit fees. Additional analyses provide evidence consistent with increased effort combined with increased risk contributing to the current pricing effect, with increased business risk primarily driving the future pricing effect. We, therefore, provide evidence that aggressive income-increasing REM activities have a significant influence on auditor pricing behavior, consistent with the audit framework associating engagement risk with audit fees.

Mortality in Type 1 Diabetes in the DCCT/EDIC Versus the General Population
Authors:   The Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT)/Epidemiology of Diabetes Interventions and Complications (EDIC) Study Research Group
Published: July 2016

OBJECTIVE

Historically, mortality in type 1 diabetes has exceeded that in the general population. We compared mortality in the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial/Epidemiology of Diabetes Interventions and Complications (DCCT/EDIC) study cohort to that of the current general U.S. population.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

The DCCT (1983–1993) compared intensive versus conventional therapy, with HbA1c levels of ∼7 vs. 9%, respectively, over an average of 6.5 years of treatment. EDIC is the observational follow-up study of the DCCT (1994 to the present). Vital status was ascertained for 97.5% of the original DCCT cohort (n = 1,441) after a mean of 27 years follow-up. Expected mortality during DCCT/EDIC was estimated using the current age-, sex-, and race-specific risks in the general U.S. population, and the observed versus expected mortality compared using standardized mortality ratios (SMRs) and Poisson regression models.

RESULTS

Mortality in the DCCT intensive therapy group was nonsignificantly lower than that in the general U.S. population (SMR = 0.88 [95% CI 0.67, 1.16]), whereas mortality in the DCCT conventional therapy group was significantly greater than that in the general population (SMR = 1.31 [95% CI 1.05, 1.65]). The SMR increased with increasing mean HbA1c, and above an HbA1c of 9%, the rate of increase in SMR among females was greater than that among males.

CONCLUSIONS

Overall mortality in the combined DCCT/EDIC cohort was similar to that of the general population but was higher in the DCCT conventional therapy group. Mortality increased significantly with increasing mean HbA1c, more so among females than males, especially for HbA1c >9%.
