Published: December 2020

O desenvolvimento rural acompanhou os ditames do desenvolvimento econômico e estruturou-se a partir do modelo da modernização. Amplia-se, atualmente, o debate sobre as potencialidades da agricultura familiar a partir dos assentamentos rurais. Nesse contexto, houve a necessidade de se estabelecer os indicadores de desenvolvimento social, econômico, ambiental e organizacional do Assentamento Carrasco, localizado nos municípios de Esperança e Alagoa Nova, PB, sendo essas determinações os objetivos principais deste trabalho. Os procedimentos metodológicos consistiram na aplicação de questionários e entrevistas, com perguntas envolvendo as dimensões social, econômico, ambiental e organizacional do referido Assentamento, analisando-os dados mediante os métodos da estatística convencional e a da multicritério. Os principais resultados encontrados indicaram que a agricultura familiar, desenvolve-se, com base nos princípios agroecológicos e na preservação da vegetação nativa. As poucas orientações técnicas contribuem para o manejo diversificado de cultivos e da criação de pequenos animais. Embora a renda seja baixa, mas permita a permanência do assentado no campo e a maior parte da produção é usada no consumo próprio. O aporte oriundo dos benefícios sociais complementa a renda, sendo a Bolsa Família, o mais expressivo, seguidos pelo Programa Nacional de Alimentação Escolar e o Seguro Safra. Os indicadores sociais mostraram que há necessidade de investimento, sobretudo na melhoria e/ou no acesso à educação, assistência técnica, no sistema de organização e no incentivo aos jovens para permanecer no campo

Published: December 2020

Vehicular ad-hoc network is an exciting study that aims to improve driver safety in driving. Vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) is communications between vehicles that occurs on a VANET using wireless channels. This channel allows vehicles to share personal or safety information with other vehicles. Vehicle communication is potentially vulnerable to adversaries' security attacks that can harm the driver and other legitimate users. Therefore, it requires a high-security system. This research proposes a new scheme, namely the MAPI (Mike-Amang-Prima-Inka), as a modified secret key generation scheme obtained from received signal strength (RSS) values. Our research focuses on obtaining a symmetric key that has a high key formation speed (KFS) with a low-key discrepancy level (KDL), while still thinking about the randomness and ensure safety from passive attackers. In the pre-processing, we use a combination of Kalman Filter and Polynomial Regression by modifying the parameters to produce the best performance. We also modified the grey code in the Modified Multibit (MMB) Quantization method to reduce the quantization bit mismatch. Our approach to the MAPI scheme can assign symmetric keys with better performance than existing schemes, increasing KFS and decreasing KDL up to 100%. Moreover, the scheme can generate a symmetric key that deals with NIST's statistical tests.

Published: December 2020

Tourism is continuously developing as a new economic source in Indonesia. Tourism activities extend to the various services, products, and experiences provided in the tourism site’s surrounding area. Tourism development requires information on possible related activities with tourism. However, there was a lack of studies that examined the relationship between tourism sites and the simultaneous presence of multiple public facilities, which would reveal the value of proximity. This paper aims to investigate the proximity patterns of tourism sites and the support facilities, to develop a strategy for tourism sites. The average nearest-neighbor results verify that there are clustering tendencies for almost all datasets. The Kernel Density Estimation (KDE)-based raster’s were created to visualize the patterns of tourism sites and nearby public facilities, which located near three world cultural heritage sites in Indonesia. Co-location pattern mining was applied to examine the co-location behavior between tourism sites and tourism support facilities using the Participation Index (PI) as the measurement parameter. This study provides knowledge, specifically the existence of co-location rules between tourism sites and tourism support facilities, which consist of food services, accommodations, transportation, shopping, and other tourism support facilities. The network graph shows that the location of tourism support facilities can be affected by the types of tourism sites, providing practical implications for individuals, business owners, and policymakers. Government policies related to planning for tourism destination development that consider the characteristics of spatial interactions are expected to be able to support government targets for increasing lengths of stay and tourist expenditures.

Authors: Alsaeegh Moamin Amer Hasan , Shukur Osamah Basheer
Published: December 2020

The missing value in time series data is a scientific problem that should be solved by imputing these values by following some statistical techniques. This problem is more complex due to the missing values that existed in the dependent (response) variable. Particular matter (PM10) is a time series dataset used to scale air pollution as a dependent variable, while there are many types of pollutants used as independent variables. Malaysian datasets of PM10 and several climate pollutants are examined in this study. This study aims to impute the missing values for different missing rates in a dependent variable with minimum error. In this paper, the independent variables were supposed completed while the missing values have been replaced in different rates and different distributions within the dependent variable. Multiple linear regression (MLR) has been used as a traditional method to impute the different missing values of PM10. Recurrent neural network (RNN) is combined with MLR and used to impute the missing values of PM10. The results reflected that th hybrid method outperformed MLR for imputing the missing values of PM10. In conclusion, the hybrid method MLR-RNN can be used to impute the missing values of PM10 accurately compared to other traditional methods.

Students are faced with the choice to continue their education to a higher level of work after completing their education, including engineering education students. However, the fact is that the students who have completed their education cannot determine the career planning direction. This phenomenon implies that students do not have career maturity, especially in entrepreneurship. Career maturity is influenced by several factors, including locus of control and self-concept. This study aims to describe the internal locus of control, self-concept, and career maturity, test the contribution of internal locus of control and self-concept towards the career maturity of engineering education students in entrepreneurship. This study used multiple regression analysis. The research sample was 218 people consisting of students at private universities in West Sumatra, Indonesia. Data collection was done by using inventory Locus of Control and Self Concept. The research findings show that: (1) on average, the description trust of internal locus of control is in the high category, (2) the self-concept is in a positive category, (3) career maturity is in the high category, (4) there is the contribution of locus of control internal to career maturity of 7.5% (R = 0.275, the significance of 0.000), (5) there is a contribution of self-concept to career maturity of 7.2% (R = 0.268, the significance of 0.000), and (6) there is a joint contribution of locus of internal control and self-concept of career maturity by 11% (R = 0.332, significance 0.000).

Authors: Al-Temimi Suhad Ali Shaheed , Al-Saffar Rawaa Salh
Published: December 2020

Iraq has witnessed several changes that directly and negatively affected the nature of society and the environment, such as an increase in the population over the past two decades. Hence, an increase in demand for food, energy, housing, and water means an increase in solid and liquid waste as a result of weak environmental awareness. Tuberculosis is one of the infectious diseases, and Iraq is witnessing a noticeable increase in the rate of infections at the governorates level. The explanatory variables that were chosen are among the variables of the sustainable environment adopted by the Ministry of health in Iraq. Therefore, it was essential to know their effect on the phenomenon under study (number of tuberculosis cases). The results of estimating the model parameters using the two-stage least squares method and the transformations method show that the explanatory variables significantly affect the dependent variable, as explained above. This study focused on the effect of some sustainable environment variables (the population, the number of health institutions, the proportion of the population that uses clean drinking water, and the percentage of the population with access to sanitation) on tuberculosis rates based on the polled model at the governorates level for the period (2013-2017). The two-stage least squares method was used to estimate model parameters. The results showed that increasing environmental awareness represented by sustainable environment variables positively impacts lower rates of tuberculosis at the governorates level.

Authors: Andhyka Herry Tony , Apriono Catur
Published: December 2020

Cancer is the second deadliest disease globally, with approximately 18 million cases and 9.6 million deaths in 2018. There were 2.088 million breast cancer cases and 627 thousand deaths. This cancer is the second most prevalent after lung cancer, resulting in the fifth most cancer deaths worldwide. A critically important technique for the detection of primary-stage tumors or cancer is imaging. Early detection of cancer is necessary to minimize the number of fatalities associated with breast cancer. Several techniques have been applied to breast tissue imaging such as computed tomography scans (CT Scans), transrectal ultrasound (TRUS), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emission tomography (PET), and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), but these techniques have well-known limitations. THz imaging is also one of the techniques for early detection. THz imaging approaches address key deficiencies in alternative techniques and are typically non-ionizing, non-contact, non-destructive, and have a high spatial resolution. An appropriate detector is a crucial aspect of the development of this promising technique. In this report, a THz silicon-based antenna with a frequency centered at 0.312 THz is proposed for application to breast cancer imaging. A silicon substrate has a high permittivity and is useful for device miniaturization. Inset-fed and array techniques are essential for focusing the beamwidth in the desired direction. The results show that the proposed design can be used to develop a directional antenna with reliable performance. This study will contribute to the development of a THz imaging system for early breast cancer detection.

Published: December 2020

Mangrove forests have an essential role in reducing the impact of global warming in the urban and surrounding areas; one of them is through carbon sequestration. Carbon sequestration is needed to reduce greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. The capacity of carbon sequestration or carbon stocks of mangrove forests can be seen from its biomass value. This study aims to produce a regression model between the vegetation index and the carbon stock of mangrove forests so that carbon stocks can be seen easily from satellite imagery and analyze their distribution in the Coastal City of Benoa, Bali. The distribution of carbon stocks was analyzed using a combination of vegetation index approach and statistical regression analysis. The vegetation index used is ARVI and EVI obtained from processing Sentinel 2-A satellite imagery in 2020. Mangrove forest biomass values are derived from allometric equations. After getting the amount of biomass, a regression model was built with a vegetation index. The model with the highest level of accuracy is used to process the image of the whole mangrove forest. This study's results indicate that the regression model formed by the ARVI has the highest level of accuracy compared to the EVI, with the best regression model for predicting carbon stock values is the exponential regression model with an ARVI vegetation index variable. High carbon stock values are distributed in almost all regions of Benoa Bay.

Authors: Vai Vannak , Bun Long , Ohgaki Hideaki
Published: December 2020

The feed-in tariff for rooftop photovoltaic (PV) systems has not yet been adopted in Cambodia, the utility thus does not purchase excess power by reverse power flows from PV production, and only unidirectional energy meters are used even in the capital. The power distribution systems are expanded in recent years due to load demand increase, and this issue makes the distribution system designers perform the planning. The design of a low voltage distribution system and suitable solutions are proposed to handle these issues. This paper purposes of designing an optimal low voltage distribution topology with the integration of PV and three different proposed solutions of reverse power relay (RPR), solar hybrid inverter (SHI) and battery energy storage (BES) in an urban village, which consists of improving a balanced load and existing PV production usage. Firstly, the repeated phase ABC is applied to minimize the power loss and unbalanced load in the three-phase distribution system. Next, the integration of RPR, SHI, and BES into household grid-connected PV production systems have been proposed as solutions. To confirm a proposed method, the urban village in Phnom Penh, Borey Mungkul Phnom Penh, Sangkat Veal Spov, is chosen and modelled for a case study. Simulation results allow concluding that the integrated battery energy storage into the optimal low voltage distribution topology provides the best solution to design the grid connection PV system.

Published: December 2020

==========================================================Available online: 31 December 2020This article has been retracted by International Journal on Advanced Science, Engineering and Information Technology Editorial team, following clear correspondence and confirmation with authors.The paper is retracted from 29 November 2021.==========================================================The development of the CNC machine and its advantages led to the constantly developing fields for this system, which are CAD (Computer-Aided Design) and CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing). However, surface issues were rarely mentioned in these studies, but mainly on tool path calculations or cutting modes. Reasonable selection of cutting tools, optimal tooling strategy for surfaces, and cutting mode parameters impact productivity and form quality of details containing complex surfaces. This study evaluates free surface based on Gaussian curvature and mean curvature, thereby providing a suitable instrument selection for the evaluated free surface areas. In this paper, the authors analyze and select tools and tool paths when machining freedom faces on 3-axis CNC machines to satisfy surface shaping accuracy requirements and reduce machining time related to the traditional freedom-face machining method. Before doing experimental research, the authors designed experimental samples on CATIA V5R20, simulating the machining process to verify the theoretical calculation. Empirical models for machining on 3-axis CNC milling machines were built and measured the parameters on 3-coordinate measuring machines to evaluate the effect of tool selection and tool paths in the machining of freedom surface areas. Experimental results show that the tool path when machining freedom surfaces dramatically affects the quality of freedom surface shaping. Moreover, the experimental results also show that when processing saddle-face samples, the one direction tooling path should be selected.

Published: December 2020

Copper (Cu2+) ions has been recognized as hazardous heavy metal and having negative effects on human health, animal, plants, and environment. Therefore, the removal of Cu2+ from contaminated water to an acceptable level is necessary. In this research,  activated carbon prepared from palm kernel shell waste products has been used for the removal of Cu2+ ions from aqueous solutions. The oil palm shells were pyrolyzed at 380 °C, producing charcoal and liquid smoke. The carbon material was modified to nano size and activated by liquid smoke to generate activated carbon with a well developed porous structure and distribution porosity. The activated carbon was then characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM). All experiments were conducted in a batch process with initial metal concentrations in the range 30-150 ppm, contact times in the range 30-150 min and at room temperature. The best conditions for high removal efficiency of Cu2+ was investigated. The adsorption isotherm of the Langmuir and Freundlich models were used to analyze the data obtained. The kinetic of first and second-order models were also studied. The highest removal efficiency of 97.5% was obtained at a contact time of 60 min, an initial Cu2+ concentration of 30 ppm, and an agitation speed of 200 rpm. The Freundlich isotherm model was well fitted (R2=0.937) and indicated pseudo-first-order chemisorption. Based on the results, the activated carbon with liquid smoke activation would be an alternative adsorbent in removing Cu2+ from industrial wastewater.

Published: December 2020

Sorghum is one of the main candidates for bioethanol feedstock. It is easy to cultivate and adapt to various land and altitude criteria but often developed in low land. The study aims to utilize land based on the altitude for the development of several varieties. An experiment was conducted on three different sites: dry land of a forest area with an elevation of 63 m above sea level (asl), on dry land with an elevation of 800 m asl, and on dry land with a height of 67 m asl. The interaction effect of both varieties and mycorrhizal towards adaptation and phenotypic appearance was evaluated. Factorial experiments were arranged in Randomized Complete Block Design, consisting of varieties and doses of biological fertilizers. The varieties used were Suri-3, Suri-4, Kawali, and Super-2, and doses of biofertilizer were (5, 10, 15) g per plant. In all research locations, the interaction between varieties and doses of biofertilizer only significantly affected the number of internodes. At 67 m asl, the interaction affects the plant height, stem FW, leaf FW, and panicle length. Suri-3 and Super-2 showed the best response on the doses of 5 g per plant, while Suri-4 did on 15 g per plant. Kawali adapts well at 800 m asl and 67 m asl. Kawali achieved the highest panicle length and seed FW at 800 m asl, respectively 34.39 cm and 81.17 g. Super-2 has the best adaptation and phenotype at 63 m asl, with the maximum plant height of 301.28 cm.

Authors: Parbuntari Hesty , Etika Sri Benti , Mulia Melindra
Published: December 2020

Molecular encapsulation is the focus of current research because it is proven to be able to maintain and even to improve the physicochemical properties of their guest molecules. A trapping agent plays an essential role in the success of encapsulation. Î²-cyclodextrin (Î²-CD) could be one of the good trapping agents because it has a hydrophobic cavity and a hydrophilic outer surface. Î²-CD can interact with hydrophobic bioactive compounds as the guest molecules by trapping these compounds into the cavity of Î²-CD. Frankincense oil (FO) is one of the essential oils. It has been researched and utilized in various fields, but the physicochemical properties of FO make it less stable. This study explains the encapsulation of FO in Î²-CD. By using the coprecipitation method, this study gives pure crystal, and the efficiency of encapsulation is 78%. The diffraction pattern shown in the ICs identified the pattern of diffraction in crystals with a sharp peak of diffraction, and most of these peaks showed patterns of diffraction in Î²-CD. The absorption intensity of the pure CD was only 2.5, but after inserting the FO in its cavity, the intensity changed to 2.7 - 2.9. It shows that there is an interaction between the non-covalent part of Î²-CD and bioactive molecules, which are also known as hosts - guests inclusion complexes (ICs). The results confirmed as well that the ICs formed is more stable as the increase in the boiling point of the ICs in the range of 280-295oC.

Authors: Mahargya Ifran Lindu , Shidik Guruh Fajar
Published: December 2020

The welfare of farmers is a strategic problem in Indonesia. The Farmer term of the trade (FTT) is one indicator to measure the welfare of farmers. FTT is a measurement of the comparison of the price index received by farmers (It) with the price index paid by farmers (Ib). Some models for FTT prediction on previous research are using ANN, SVM, MLR, Markov Chain - Predictive Probabilistic Architecture Modeling Framework (P2AMF), Singular Spectrum Analysis (SSA) - ARIMA and ANN-PSO. Previous FFT research in 2018 used three prediction methods, namely using the ANN, SVM and MLR algorithms with the best RMSE being 0.00098. Then in 2019, FTT research was followed by optimization of the ANN parameters using PSO for weighting (ANN-PSO) and obtaining the best RMSE was 0.00062. This study evaluates the robustness of the prediction models of FTTs in the Central Java region using SVM. Then proceed with increasing SVM prediction accuracy using GA (SVM-GA). SVM-GA has resulted in an increase in FTT prediction accuracy. This study has found that the SVM method has better robustness than the ANN method. The development of research related to the accuracy for the FTT prediction model in the Central Java Province has increased, starting from 2018 with RMSE 0.00098; in 2019 with RMSE 0.00062 and the results of this study resulted in the best RMSE of 0.00037.

A Review of Transnational Regulations in Environmental Protection and the Circular Economy
Authors: Wysokińska Zofia
Published: December 2020

The aim of the paper is to present a review of transnational regulations (global and European) in the field of environmental protection and the circular economy. The paper discusses the regulations proposed in publications and reports of such global organizations and UN Agencies as the United Nations Environmental Program (UNEP), the United Nations Conference for Trade and Development (UNCTAD), the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), as well as the World Trade Organization (WTO), and the European Commission as the Executive Body of the European Union. With regard to the WTO, these regulations concern the effects of liberalizing trade in environmental goods and services and environmentally sound technologies. Sustainable development means, above all, protecting the natural environment and reducing excessive dependence on depleting natural resources, including primary raw materials, in the economic sector. This implies the need to implement a new resource‑efficient development model, based on the principles of the circular economy (CE), which has been proposed for several years by transnational organizations. In the CE model, the use of natural resources is minimized, and when a product reaches the end of its useful life, it is reused to create additional new value. This can bring significant economic benefits, contributing to new production methods and new innovative products, growth, and job creation. The topics mentioned above are the main subject of consideration in the presented paper.

Background and Aims: Interprofessional Education (IPE) is a vital academic blueprint for preparing future doctors to provide patient-centered collaborative approach to care best integrated health services. This study aimed to evaluate the awareness and readiness of Malaysian medical students towards interprofessional education. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study carried out using a questionnaire survey: The Readiness of Interprofessional Learning Scale (RIPLS). A convenience sampling method was employed. The sample was drawn from undergraduate students enrolled in year 1 to 5 of medical program in two medical universities. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data. Results: The RIPLS was completed by 361 medical students who valued the importance of IPE. The students mentioned that shared learning with other healthcare professional students will increase their ability to understand clinical problems. The students also specified that team-working skills are essential for all healthcare students to learn. However, there were differences between students of different years of study in their perception and readiness toward IPE. Conclusion: Our findings indicate that undergraduate-health-care students have high perception and readiness towards IPE, however important differences in baseline readiness emerged according to year-level. These findings suggest that educators consider baseline attitudes of students when designing interprofessional education curricula. The implication of this awareness and readiness to practice IPL will create a more concert and harmony workspace to the healthcare professionals.

Authors: Khotimah Khusnul
Published: December 2020

Grounded from the input hypothesis proposed by Krashen in language learning, a plethora of studies has been addressed to investigate the role of extensive reading which is generally done as an outside classroom activity. However, the integration of similar activities as a part of teaching procedures in the classroom is inadequately explored. Therefore, to fill this lacuna, this article briefly chronicles the enactment of 15-minute silent reading as the adoption of extensive reading in an English class. 32 freshmen were recruited on a voluntary basis. Nested in action research, students engaged in five activities: 1) building knowledge and tutorial,2) material self-selection, 3) silent reading, 4) short sharing session, and 5) individual and collective reflection within 5 weeks of time frame. Findings from the classroom observations, students’ reflective journals, and oral collective reflection indicate that the participants responded  positively and acknowledged some valuable benefits. Overall, the empirical evidence suggests that 15-minute silent reading can be one of alternative activities to be integrated in the classroom instruction.

Precariedade e mistificação da precarização: superexploração da força de trabalho
Authors: Soares Marcela
Published: December 2020

This article, based on Marx's Social Theory and on the Brazilian Marxist social thought, aims to analyze the precariousness, the overexploitation of the workforce and the mystification of precariousness with the expropriation of rights. Thus, it highlights the particularities of Brazilian dependent capitalism and the marks of colonial slavery with the apprehension of the meaning of the expropriation of labor and the export of economic surplus. It highlights the current ultraneoliberal period enhanced by the government of Jair Bolsonaro, with the reinforcement of the culture of “entrepreneurship” via the “prosperity theology”, increasing the setbacks of labor rights.
