Published: June 2021

This research is motivated by the development of a security system on vehicles to reduce criminal acts such as theft, robbery and legality. However, security systems such as alarms and double locks still do not guarantee vehicle safety, because there is no notification to the user when the vehicle is stolen and cannot know the face of the person who stole the user's vehicle. The purpose of this Final Assignment is to apply ATMega328 microcontroller-based technology designed by making integrated hardware and security system software on motorized vehicles. The overall system design and manufacturing process uses the Reserve Engineering method by following several stages, namely: 1) designing the system, 2) designing the hardware, 3) designing the software, 4) the physical design of the tool and making the tool. From the results of the design and manufacture of an integrated security system on motorized vehicles it can be concluded that this tool can work well using the ATMega328 microcontroller as the center of the controller. To turn on the motor, the tool can recognize users with RFID RC522 tags that have been registered. In this tool the User can also find out the position of the vehicle when the vehicle is stolen via text messages and Google Maps with the internet network. When a user is banned by pressing the anti-lock push button, the system can notify the family via a short message. Support from this tool can turn off the vehicle remotely by sending the message "MOTOROFF". The complexity of this tool comes to the use of the TP-LINK NC220 Night Cloud IP camera which can take pictures and do video recording. Keywords: Integrated  Security  System, ATMega328 Microcontroller, Web Server, SIM800L V2 GSM, RFID RC522, and U-blox NEO-6M GPS..

The Place of Arabic in English as a Foreign Language University Level Classes in Jordan
Authors: Khalaf Abu-Snoubar Tamador , Khlil Mukattash Bandar
Published: June 2021

Modern graduates face major challenges in the international job market where knowledge of English and other foreign languages became one of the most important requirements of a well-trained professional. Even though the demands of such candidates increase, the methodology of teaching English remains the same. Modern educators and students demand the inclusion of the first language in their English as a Foreign Language classrooms, yet still, this method is considered controversial. Previous research generated ambiguous and inconclusive findings that the current study tries to re-explore. This study aims to find out the a) students’ attitude towards implementing their first language in English as a Foreign Language classes; b) how these attitudes can be related to their proficiency levels; c) the potential purposes of using the first language in the English language classrooms; and d) if teachers support using a bilingual approach in their classrooms. The current research uses a mixed-method design by applying a survey filled in by 400 students studying at Al-Balqa Applied University and semi-structured interviews with 5 instructors from the same institute to collect the data needed. The findings recognized that both students and teachers support the situational application of Arabic in the English as a Foreign Language classrooms, especially when it comes to the reading comprehension activities and introducing a new grammar topic or new vocabulary items. The use of the first language has to be proportionate to the level of students’ target language proficiency, as basic English speakers require the inclusion of their first language more often than their advanced counterparts.
Teacher-Centered Approach Prevalence in Algerian Secondary-School EFL Classes: The Case of English Teachers and Learners in Mostaganem District
Authors: Baghoussi Meriem
Published: June 2021

Before implementing the Competency-Based Approach (CBA) in 2003, the Algerian educational system was based on traditional teaching methods that focused mainly on acquiring the knowledge about language delivered by the teacher and the amount of information the learner could accumulate to pass the exams. Although CBA has shifted the teacher’s role from a knowledge transmitter to a facilitator and the learner from a passive recipient to an active participant, the teacher-centered paradigm still prevails among secondary-school teachers. To shed light on that prevalence, the researcher attempts to explore the perceptions secondary-school teachers hold about Teacher-Centred Approach (TCA) and the reasons behind its widespread use. Therefore, the present study investigates the causes of TCA prevalence in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classes using a mixed-methods approach. To reach that aim, the researcher put forward the following hypothesis. Although teachers know the various teaching approaches, they have to adopt the teacher-centered method because of several constraints. To collect the necessary data to identify those constraints, thirty English teachers from some secondary schools in the district of Mostaganem received a questionnaire. The research results confirmed the hypothesis stated above. They revealed that teachers are well-informed about the viability of various teaching approaches and methods; however, they keep adopting the teacher-centered approach. Such behavior is due to multiple constraints such as classrooms crowdedness, the traditional physical classroom environment, the baccalaureate (BAC) exam requirements, and the time restrictions due to the lengthy English programs.

Authors: Thaha Abdullateef Shifan , Muhammedzein Fatima
Published: June 2021

Although some assessment modes have proved successful, many learning problems encountered by low achieving learners need to be fixed by a more procedurally adequate remedial classroom assessment. Many EFL instructors adopt conventional and static modes of assessment rather than flexible and humanistic assessment modes. Hence, the study aims at examining how Dynamic Assessment that premises on Vygotsky’s ‘zone of proximal development and advocates mediation through good social setting and practice can enhance EFL language learning. Accordingly, 25 EFL students pursuing the first level of an undergraduate course at Prince Sattam bin Abdulaziz University, formed the experimental group for the writing task and 20 for the Reading task. Pre-test and post-test were administered based on Browns’ Interventionist Model for writing task and Feuerstein’s Interactionist model for Reading Comprehension. In addition, an online questionnaire was distributed to 43 university teachers from Prince Sattam bin Abdulaziz University to elicit their opinion. Data were statistically analyzed using SPSS. The results show a significant relation between Dynamic Assessment and language learning. The implications of findings will be helpful in EFL classrooms and research.

A Legal Conquest of the Arctic? China, the European Nordic Countries and Multilateralism
Authors: Morell Selina
Published: June 2021

China published its first White Paper on the Arctic region in 2018, announcing its vision of integrating it as a Polar Silk Road under its Belt and Road Initiative framework. This marked the beginning of an increasingly assertive Chinese presence in the Arctic and indicated that the region has gained strategic significance in Beijing’s foreign policy agenda. This master’s thesis examined whether the inclusion of the Arctic in the framework of China’s Belt and Road Initiative has influenced the Chinese foreign policy approach towards the Arctic countries. If the inclusion of the Arctic did indeed have an impact, this could help to assess the overall influence of the Belt and Road Initiative on China’s foreign policy and gain a better understanding of how China operates in its context.

What shall we do with the drunken sailor? EC Competition Law and Maritime Transport.
Authors: Dinger Felix
Published: June 2021

This study examines the application of EC competition law in the special environment in which the shipping industry operates, with special emphasis on the two block exemptions of Art. 3 of Regulation 4056/86 and Art. 3 of Regulation 823/2000. It will show that, like with a drunken sailor, something is seriously amiss with the way EC competition law is applied in this specific field. The first chapter provides some background information on the development of the shipping industry since the middle of the 19th century and an overview of the main legal developments in EC maritime competition policy. Chapter two, which constitutes the main part of this paper, contains an analysis of the two block exemptions mentioned. Chapter three addresses the question whether the current approach of EC competition law is adequate and compatible with the relevant Treaty provisions. This will lead to some concluding remarks on the question whether the current approach should be continued or whether it is advisable to modify it.

Dieses Fragen verfolgt die doppelte Absicht, einerseits an sich das Verständnis für diesen zentralen Vorgang der europäischen Nachkriegsgeschichte zu schärfen und anderseits eine Vergleichsfolie für andere Annäherungsprozesse bereitzustellen, wie sie z.B. zwischen Teilen des ehemaligen Jugoslawien wünschbar wären.Diese Augabe enthält ausserdem einen Text von Marie-Noëlle Brand Crémieux mit dem Titel "La réconciliation à l‘épreuve de la réunification. Les réactions des Français face à une grande Allemagne en 1989-1990".
Lokomotiven der Einigung - Europäische Eisenbahnen zwischen Kooperation und Konkurrenz
Authors: Kohlschütter Johannes
Published: June 2021

Diese Arbeit beschäftigt sich damit, wie sich das Verhältnis zwischen verschiedenen europäischen Eisenbahnunternehmen entwickelt hat und wie es sich durch ihre Liberalisierung verändert hat. Dabei stehen vor allem die Rolle der ursprünglichen „Staatsbahnen“ und der Wettbewerb durch Aktivitäten ausserhalb des eigenen Landes im Mittelpunkt des Interesses. Es werden in erster Linie die nationalen Bahnen aus Deutschland und Frankreich betrachtet, die als wirtschaftlich bedeutende Gründungsmitglieder der Europäischen Wirtschaftsgemeinschaft und grosse „Eisenbahnländer“ in einem interessanten und gleichermassen durch Partnerschaft und Rivalität gekennzeichneten Verhältnis stehen. Daneben wird unter einzelnen Aspekten auch auf die Rolle von Bahnen aus der Schweiz eingegangen, die als bedeutendes Transitland, aber auch durch ihre grenzüberschreitend tätigen Bahngesellschaften gut in den europäischen Eisenbahnverkehrsmarkt integriert ist.Zunächst werden die Bestimmungsfaktoren für Konkurrenz und grenzüberschreitende Zusammenarbeit im Eisenbahnwesen von seinen Anfängen bis vor dem Beginn der Liberalisierung untersucht. Anschliessend wird die Entwicklung der rechtlichen Grundlagen für die grenzüberschreitende Öffnung der Schienennetze dargestellt. Es folgt ein Versuch, ausgewählte Tendenzen der neueren Entwicklung bis in die Gegenwart zu identifizieren und Ansätze für ihre ökonomische Einordnung zu liefern.

Published: June 2021

A rapid growth has occurred for the act of plagiarism with the aid of Internet explosive growth wherein a massive volume of information offered with effortless use and access makes plagiarism  the process of taking someone elseâ€™s work (represented by ideas, or even words) and representing it as other's own work  easy to be performed. For ensuring originality, detecting plagiarism has been massively necessitated in various areas so that the people who aim to plagiarize ought to offer considerable effort for introducing works centered on their research.

     In this paper, work has been proposed for improving the detection of textual plagiarism through proposing a model for candidate retrieval phase. The model proposed for retrieving candidates has adopted the vector space method VSM as a retrieval model and centered on representing documents as vectors consisting of average term  weights and considering them as queries for retrieval instead of representing them as vectors of term  weight. The detailed comparison task comes as the second phase wherein fuzzy semantic based string similarity has been applied. Experiments have been conducted using PAN-PC-10 as an evaluation dataset for evaluating the proposed system. As the problem statement in this paper is restricted to detect extrinsic plagiarism and works on English documents, experiments have been performed on the portion dedicated to extrinsic detection and on documents in English language only. For evaluating performance of the proposed model for retrieving candidates, Precision, Recall, and F-measure have been used as an evaluation metrics. The overall performance of the proposed system has been assessed through the use of the ï¬ve standard PAN measures Precision, Recall, F-measure, Granularity and . The experimental results have clarified that the proposed model for retrieving candidates has a positive impact on the overall performance of the system and the system outperforms the other state-of-the-art methods. They clarified that the proposed model has detected about 80% of the plagiarism cases and about 90% of the detections were correct. The proposed model has the ability to detect literal plagiarism in addition to cases containing paraphrasing. Performance comparison has clarified that the proposed system is either comparable or outperforms the other baseline systems in terms of the five  evaluation metrics.

Two Siganid fishes were described in the current study, the first one is Siganus javus (Linnaeus, 1766) as a new record and the other Siganus canaliculatus (Park, 1797), which was collected from the Iraqi marine waters. The samples were collected during December 2018. Streaked rabbitfish S. javus is diagnosed by a deep body, 54.01% in standard length, depth  of caudal peduncle, 7.27%, total gill rakers 19 and silvery blue undulating lines on mid and lower sides of the body. Whereas the body depth of White-spotted rabbitfish S. canaliculatus was 39.08-42.66%, Caudal peduncle depth ranged from 5.21 to 5.66%, total gill rakers ranged from 22 to 24 and it  is distinguished by a numerous pearly blue to whitish spots on the nape and trunk.

Kaolin/Gum Arabic nanocomposite was cheaply synthesized from Kaolin and Gum Arabic. The Kaolin/Gum Arabic nanocomposite suspension, Gum Arabic extracts and Kaolin suspension were applied as antifungal agents. The antifungal activity was tested using agar well diffusion method where by wells were made on the petri dishes with cork borer 6mm diameter in size and various concentrations (150 µg/L, 200 µg/L, and 250 µg/L) of Gum Arabic ethanol extracts, Gum Arabic /Kaolin nanocomposite, and Kaolin was propelled into the wells with the help of micropipette and the petri dishes were allowed to stand for 30 minutes to ensure proper diffusion before being incubated at 37oC. The results showed that synthesized Kaolin/Gum Arabic nanocomposite and Gum Arabic possess significant antifungal activity against Aspergillus flavus and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. No antifungal activity detected for Kaolin against Aspergillus flavus and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. From the results obtained it could be concluded that the synthesized Kaolin/Gum Arabic nanocomposite and Gum Arabic possess significant antifungal activity against Aspergillus flavus and Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Watermarking in 3D Models Using Depth Path
Authors: Ali Nashwan Alsalam
Published: June 2021

This paper presents a 3D watermarking model based on the nearest distance between two vertices in mesh, where the embedding path moves as deep as possible until the embedding data is completed. The proposed algorithm achieved good results according to invisibility and robustness. The visibility was measured in termof Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and Hausdroff Distance (HD), which obtained good results. As related to robustness, the proposed method showed resistance to geometrical attack (translation, scaling and rotation) as well as acceptable resistance to signal processing attacks like noise addition and simplification.

Synthesis and Characterization of New Azo Compounds Linked to 1, 8-Naphthalimide and Studying Their Ability as Acid-Base Indicators
Authors: Al-Majidi Suaad M.H. , Al-Khuzaie Mohammed G.A
Published: June 2021

New Azo compounds containing an 1,8-naphthalimide moiety were synthesized from 1, 8-naphthalic anhydride by a reaction with p-phenylenediamine or benzidine to produce 1,8-naphthalimide derivatives (1 or 2), which were converted to diazonium salt derivatives by using sodium nitrite and acetic acid at 0-5 áµ’C. The diazonium salt was subjected to a coupling reaction with different substituted phenol in alkaline media at 0-5 áµ’c to produce azo compound derivatives (3-14).

The New Azo compound derivatives (3-14) were identified by 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, and FTIR and by measuring characteristic physical properties and specific reactions. Also, the ability of the prepared azo compounds to work as acid-base indicator was investigated, since azo dyes have different and sharp colors in acidic or basic solutions.
