Errors by Simpson and Dervin (2019) in their description of the council of Europe's reference framework of competences for democratic culture
Authors: Barrett Martyn , Byram Michael
Published: August 2020

In a recent paper, Simpson and Dervin (2019a) offer a radical critique of the Council of Europe’s Reference Framework of Competences for Democratic Culture (RFCDC). However, Simpson and Dervin’s paper contains numerous factual errors, interpretative errors and category errors in its description of the RFCDC. We identify 12 such errors which invalidate the conclusions drawn by them. We correct all of these errors, and suggest that, rather than using Simpson and Dervin’s paper as a source of information about the RFCDC, readers should read the RFCDC itself, before drawing their own conclusions about the RFCDC and the adequacy of the arguments offered by Simpson and Dervin.

An Electric-Based Model for Coupling Traps Effect on Random Telegraph Noise
Authors: Becker Thales Exenberger , Alves Pedro Augusto Böckmann , Moser Eduardo Pellin , Wirth Gilson Inácio
Published: August 2020

In this work, we present a novel understanding about the anomalous Random Telegraph Noise (aRTN), asserting the existence of coupling effect among multiple traps regarding current amplitude deviation. Based on the examination in the literature of anomalous current fluctuation, we propose a model able to describe the equivalent filament resistance changes due to this process. Notwithstanding, the results obtained with our model fits with experimental current over time observations presented on literature. Given that RTN is still a concern for different technologies, such as MOSFETs, FinFets and ReRAMs, the model can be applied to understanding the dynamics of filament distribution and the trapping de-trapping activity.

Authors: Rodrigues Edson José , De Souza Michelly
Published: August 2020

This work presents an analysis of the influence of the intrinsic length region (Li) and the thickness of the silicon film (tSi) on the performance of lateral thin-film SOI PIN photodiodes when illuminated by low wavelengths, in the blue and ultraviolet (UV) range. The experimental measurements performed with the wavelengths of 396 nm, 413 nm, and 460 nm in a temperature range of 100 K to 400 K showed that the optical responsivity of the SOI PIN photodetectors has larger dependence on the incident wavelength than on temperatures variation. Two-dimensional numerical simulations showed the same trends as the experimental results as a function of temperature and as a function of wavelength. Numerical simulations were used to investigate the responsivity and total quantum efficiency of PIN SOI photodetectors with intrinsic length region ranging from 5 µm to 30 µm and silicon film thickness ranging between 40 nm to 500 nm. From the results can be concluded that by properly choosing Li and tSi it is possible to optimize PIN SOI photodiodes performance for detecting specific wavelengths.

Authors: Feria Deissy Johanna , Carreño Marcelo , Rangel Ricardo , Pereyra Ines
Published: August 2020

The production of high quality graphene without the need for catalyst metals as in the case of chemical vapor deposition (CVD) techniques remain a challenge. Silicon carbide is one of the materials with potential to form graphene films on its surface through thermal decomposition when subjected to high temperatures and ultrahigh vacuum. This technique is highly desirable since it enables the elimination of corrosion and transfer steps, which can leave residues in the graphene structure and alter its quality, as well as its electrical proprieties, however it is a costly and time consuming method. In this work, we present the production of graphene trails by direct laser radiation writing at room temperature and atmospheric pressure on hydrogenated amorphous silicon carbide films (SiC-a:H) produced by Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD).  Graphene trails of approximately 1cm x 4μm were obtained with patterns designed by computer Aided Design (CAD) software. Variations were made in both scanning speed and laser focal length, identifying a great dependence on the graphene quality with these two parameters. The best results of the Raman Spectroscopy Mappings showed high quality graphene with distance between point defects (LD) of 20nm, crystallite size (La) of 25nm and few layers (2-3). In addition, the electrical measurements from Au/Ti (20nm/100nm) electrodes deposited by electron beam evaporation showed high conductivity, with sheet resistances (Rs) from 0.7kΩ to 1.3 kΩ per square. This technique opens a great possibility of manufacturing devices for applications in electronics, being a fast, efficient and low cost method.

Cross-linked polymer films with poly(melamine-co-formaldehyde) methylated (PMF) were investigated in order to integrate flexible organic transistor-based sensors. By blending poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) with PMF, solutions showed reduced viscosity for wet processing. Thin-films from poly (4-vinylphenol) (PVP) blends with PMF featured lower RMS roughness (0.37 nm) and higher dielectric constant (k ~ 3.7 – 5.7).  The presence of enhanced cross-linking at higher PMF concentrations was confirmed for both polymers from chemical resistance essays and structural characterization.

Bake hardening effect of the low strength interstitial free steel
Authors: Bui Anh-Hoa , Nguyen Minh-Hoang , Nguyen Cao-Son
Published: August 2020

This paper investigates the influence of pre-strain and temperature on the bake hardening (BH) effect of the low strength interstitial free (IF) steel with the yield strength of 137 MPa. The tensile specimens were pre-strained to 2-4-6 % at room temperature followed by baking at temperatures of 150-200-250 oC for 20 minutes. The BH strength was determined by a standard procedure based on the difference between the lower yield strength of the baked specimen and the flow stress of the initial one. The microstructure of the IF steels was characterized by optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy for the purpose of explaining the BH effect. All the initial and baked steels show a microstructure that includes the ferrite phase, of an average grains size of 45 µm. This observation was consistent with the mechanical properties of the initial steel. The BH strengths have been achieved from 12 to 35 MPa, in which the maximum value was found for the specimen that pre-strained to 6 % and baked at 200 oC. The BH strengths increased with increasing the pre-strain, but slightly decreased when the baking temperature was 250 oC. This mechanism is attributed to pinning of dislocation by carbon solute atoms during the baking process, and the BH strength was correlated with grain boundary segregation.

In order to find out suspect’s identity, Indonesia Autometic Print Identification System (INAFIS) used 3 stages, which one of them is to determine pattern variation. Phalanx distal fingerprint on human can be utilized as to identify a person, whereas no one has resembled phalanx distal fingerprint even on twins. In this research, the researcher analyzed tendentious pattern variation of phalanx distal pattern on kleptomaniac in police resort office Jember. Generally, phalanx distal fingerprint pattern found on kleptomaniac tendentiously has unique pattern plain arch as the third most apparent pattern beside unlar loop and whorl, meanwhile it was found radial loop on non-patient as the third most apparent beside unlar loop and whorl which generally was phalanx distal fingerprint.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of Internet banking apps, perceived usefulness, perceived security, perceived ease of use and green concern on Internet banking use. A self-ordered questionnaire was developed and administered to a simple random sample of 300 students, job holders, businessmen and housewives. Factor analysis, Pearson correlation and Multiple regression analysis were used to analyze data. The findings of this research indicated that all factors namely Internet banking apps, perceived usefulness, perceived security, perceived ease of use and green concern have significant impact on Internet banking use. More specifically, Internet banking apps and perceived usefulness have more influence on Internet banking use. As this study introduced relatively two new factors namely Internet banking apps and green concern in the context of Internet banking, further investigation of these two factors in different settings seems worthwhile. However, this study confirms the importance of these factors in using Internet banking in Bangladesh and also provides insights for bankers to understand the interest of consumer on Internet banking use.

Volcanic ballistics are the main hazard to life and infrastructure from Strombolian eruptions, which are a tourist drawcard, exposing people to this hazard. Most research to date has been to understand this style of eruption and how ballistics form and travel. However, little focus has been placed on how ballistics are distributed within ballistic fields or the inclusion of this data into hazard and risk assessments. In this study we used a UAV to image the ballistic field, and cameras to record eruptions at Yasur Volcano, Vanuatu from 28 July – 2 August and 17 – 19 October 2016. We present the mapped distributions from the two trips, how the field changes with distance and direction from the vent, and how eruption dynamics influence these changes. Our evidence for directionality results in considerable variation in summit ballistic hazard and is an important consideration for ballistic hazard and risk assessments.

Há algum tempo, docentes do curso de Letras, estudantes de graduação e professores de língua portuguesa vêm se ressentindo da falta de material bibliográfico em que questões de morfologia possam ser levadas para a sala de aula de forma mais atraente, atualizada e instigante. Longe de ter a pretensão de suprir essa lacuna bibliográfica, esta obra objetiva apresentar, ao leitor, alternativas teóricas e metodológicas para tratar de questões morfológicas na educação básica (níveis médio e fundamental). Reúne, para isso, um conjunto de abordagens de tópicos de morfologia do português em consonância, por u m lado, com o que se propõe em pesquisas recentes na área e, por outro, articulado com aquilo que propõem os PCN e teóricos brasileiros da área de ensino.
Homosexual Orientation in Marriage: A Reason for Divorce?
Authors: Chrissutianto Donny
Published: August 2020

The number of homosexuals in Seventh Day Adventist Church has increased since 1980. It becomes a problem for the church until it was discussed and decided that this practice may as a reason for divorce. However, there is no hint if the case is homosexual in practice. If there is a problem in a newly couple that just married and in the very day one spouse says that he or she has the homosexual orientation what should be done with this couple. Is this confessing could be used as a reason for divorce? There should be a solution for the couple to handle this problem.

The Bible clearly rejected homosexuality practices. To help the couple who has problem with homosexuality orientation in marriage, the principles of Bible and Spirit of prophecy should be utilized. This article attempts to expose these principles and helps to restore the proper sexual orientation that a couple should have in marriage.

Clapping In Seventh-Day Adventist Worship
Authors: Wauran Max H.
Published: August 2020

Clapping is considered as a media of praise and thanks in Christian worship. Some give space to this practice while other reject it. This article tried to identify the biblical foundation of these ideas, and was carried out through the following phases: formulating the problem, preparing the title, and searching the related supporting materials in the library research and electronic facilities. The research focused on three main aspects: the clapping in the Bible, the Christian and practice of clapping in worship services, and clapping in Seventh-day Adventist Church.  It is found that there is no Bible text and theological evidence which support the practice of clapping in the place of worship, in other words clapping in the church services is unbiblical, and for this reason clapping in Seventh-day Adventists worship services is not necessary. Instead of clapping, the use of amen is suggested in responding the message or musical presentation. Since clapping has become controversial issue in Adventist worship services, the church leaders need to instruct and guide the church members to the right understanding of clapping.

Contextualized Tirakat Form to Christian Spiritual Formation among Javanese
Authors: Harwanto Budi
Published: August 2020

Tirakat is an important part in Javanese culture. It points to a spiritual path in a sense of a method of a spiritual practice. The ways of tirakat have been an element of the culture for centuries. It is for this situation that evangelizing and nurturing newly non-Christian Javanese converted have been a challenge for Adventist ministry. This research attempts to seek an answer of the church which is expected to find some strategies for nurturing the members from Javanese culture background. The new converts are isolated from their background and stay in a new culture in the church. Consequently, some of the new members cannot survive in the new culture, custom, and rituals. This study addresses the issue of contextualized tirakat form to spiritual formation as a part of discipling new members in the local church. An analysis of both theological-biblical and cultural practice indicates that some elements of the tirakat ritual are strongly correlated with the Christian spiritual formation. The tirakat form can be contextualized in the spiritual formation form to experience spiritual growth.  By giving a new meaning and modified form the believers are able to keep the tirakat ritual based on the Scriptures teaching. An evaluation of tirakat practice found some positive elements which can be continued to the form of Christian formation. However, the negative aspects need functional substitutes or discontinued. Through the worldview transformation the tirakat form as spiritual formation activity will lead the Javanese congregation to have good spiritual growth, strong faith, and ability to involve in the church mission and ministry.

Published: August 2020

In response to COVID-19, a vast number of visualizations have been created to communicate information to the public. Information exposure in a public health crisis can impact people’s attitudes towards and responses to the crisis and risks, and ultimately the trajectory of a pandemic. As such, there is a need for work that documents, organizes, and investigates what COVID-19 visualizations have been presented to the public. We address this gap through an analysis of 668 COVID-19 visualizations. We present our findings through a conceptual framework derived from our analysis, that examines who, (uses) what data, (to communicate) what messages, in what form, under what circumstances in the context of COVID-19 crisis visualizations. We provide a set of factors to be considered within each component of the framework. We conclude with directions for future crisis visualization research.
Customized visualizations for audience-oriented communication in COVID-19 tracking story

This visual case study was conducted by zaobao.sg, the digital platform of the Chinese dailies in Singapore. In early February, to inform and communicate with local audiences about the COVID-19 situation in Singapore, we built an interactive webpage titled “Dynamic tracking of COVID-19 in Singapore”, to visualize the daily situation reports released by the Ministry of Health. As the situation evolved, we kept updating the data every day until June 2nd, when Singapore ended its Circuit Breaker measures. The aid of the visualisation is to help better picture the relationship between cases within a cluster, how these clusters are inter-related and activities-based, and how cases are disseminated to various hospitals.
