Performance de IEEE 802.15.6 en coexistencia con IEEE 802.15.4 e IEEE 802.11
Authors:   , Michelino Juan Pablo
Published: July 2021

En el presente trabajo se analiza el impacto en el rendimiento de IEEE 802.15.6 cuando es interferido por IEEE 802.15.4 o IEEE 802.11, pretendiendo dar una medida del grado de confiabilidad del primero, que es un protocolo creado para transmisión en baja potencia de parámetros vitales de pacientes humanos, cuando comparte la banda de frecuencias ISM con otros protocolos ampliamente difundidos como son los dos últimos. Las ISM son bandas de radiofrecuencia electromagnética no licenciadas, comprendidas (entre otras) desde los 2,4 a 2,5GHz1, reservadas internacionalmente para uso no comercial en áreas industrial, científica y médica. Se ha popularizado su uso en comunicaciones WiFi (distintas versiones de IEEE 802.11), Bluethoot, IEEE 802.15.6, IEEE 802.15.4, etc; pudiendo unos comportarse como ruido electromagnético de otros, especialmente en áreas densamente pobladas. A la fecha de redacción de la presente tesis, no se han encontrado trabajos donde se estudie el impacto en el rendimiento de IEEE 802.15.6 interferido por IEEE 802.15.4 o 802.11. Trabajos como el de R. Natarajan, P. Zand y M. Nabi [4] han realizado un estudio teórico y experimental de la degradación del rendimiento de IEEE 802.15.4 interferido por BLE (y viceversa) o por IEEE 802.11, pero no han considerado a IEEE 802.15.6. Otros como el de M.M Alam y E.B. Hamida compara las estrategias de coexistencia propuestas por IEEE 802.15.6 con interferencia intra-BAN, inter-BAN y degradación del canal debido al movimiento dinámico del cuerpo, pero no considera el caso en que el protocolo comparta canales con otros estándares. El presente trabajo analiza de forma teórica, repitiendo el escenario y método de R. Nataraja et al, el impacto en el rendimiento de IEEE 802.15.6 cuando es interferido por IEEE 802.11 o 802.15.4

O profissional de educação física ao sair da graduação, deve estar preparado para o mercado de trabalho, pois vai trabalhar com todo tipo de aluno e está cada vez mais rotineiro receber educandos com surdez no ambiente escolar público ou privado. Esse estudo tem como objetivo verificar o conhecimento dos professores de educação física sobre o recebimento de educandos surdos nas escolas estaduais da cidade de Fortaleza – CE. Participaram da pesquisa 15 professores de educação física, distribuídas pelos 06 CREDES. A metodologia adotada para este estudo foi de campo com abordagem quantitativa e qualitativa, tendo o questionário de 16 perguntas como instrumento da pesquisa. Conclui-se que os professores de educação física participantes da pesquisa não possuem experiência com a educação física adaptada para alunos com surdez. Sendo por vários fatores: falta de procura dos mesmos para capacitação adequada, falta de experiência e proximidade de alunos com essa deficiência e o pensamento arcaico de que só é preciso demostrar os movimentos na aula prática de educação física, com uso de imagens e vídeos como o único instrumento pedagógico.

Published: July 2021

Blast is a major rice disease that can affect rice plant during all growth stages, wherein causing drastic yield loss globally. Host-plant resistance has been the most practical and cost effective approach to control insect pests and diseases in crops. Therefore, eighty (80) rice genotypes were screened for resistance to the leaf blast and brown plant hopper at Hybrid Rice Evaluation Centre, Gudalur, The Nilgiris District, Tamil Nadu, India. The study site is known as blast and brown plant hopper (BPH) hot spot in India. The genotypes were evaluated according to the standard evaluation system for rice. The results revealed that nineteen (19) genotypes namely; CB08504, CB13506, CB14528, CB14681, PR114, ORJ1141, CR3868-225-1-2-2-5, MTU1156, NDR2111-13-1, PAU3835-12-1-1-2, MTU1157, HKR08-1, CT16658-5-2-3SR-2-1MMP, IR10A136, CB14149, CO(R) 49, Ciherang, IR11A294 and EC578527 showed resistant reaction and 27 genotypes were found to be moderately resistant to the leaf blast disease. None of the genotypes was immune to BPH reaction. Four (4) genotypes were resistant, and twenty-three (23) were moderately resistant. The genotypes viz., CR3868-225-1-2-2-5 and NDR 2111-13-1 which were resistant to leaf blast showed moderate resistance to BPH. Genotypes like HHZ 17-DT-6-Sal3-DT 1, BRR 0015, PAU 3842-60-5-1-3, Vanjinathan and EC 465120 were moderately resistant to both blast and BPH. These genotypes identified may be utilized as genetic sources for multiple resistant genes in rice improvement.

Abstract: Neural networks (NNs) have been applied to predict complex ship motions for stable ship maneuvering and operations at sea, but the coupling effects of different DoFs are still not effectively modeled in black-box NNs. To this end, we propose a novel deep NN framework that explicitly models the coupling effects through factorization machines, and significantly improves the prediction accuracy without introducing much extra complexity. The proposed framework is also lightweight and frequency-aware, which serves real-time and high-frequency prediction with high accuracy. We experimentally demonstrated that the framework is not only friendly to real-time prediction and online learning, but also interpretable and with great potential to be complemented by common machine learning tricks and go deeper.

Published: July 2021

This study is anchored on the perspective of local turn in migrant integration, which requires cities to play an increasingly important role in defining public policies. Consequently, the research focuses on the explorative case of the city of Milan, aiming to demonstrate whether its local system provides a toolbox for refugees to promote their integration in the host/majority milieus. Through a qualitative method, based on semi-structured interviews with politicians, local officers, NGO activists, volunteers, and refugees, we will try to understand élite and non-élite perspective about how and where the refugees of the reception system of Milan can find an accommodation, at the end of the institutional process. In this way, it will also be possible to understand how the municipality is facing the restrictions to the Italian asylum system, the crisis of the welfare, the market-dominated systems of housing provision and the suspiciousness or racism towards immigrants, considered as a burden or a threat for the society.

Aim. To establish the strength and direction of the correlation between the comorbidity index depending on the combined impact of harmful production factors in men working at a large industrial enterprise in Tyumen. Materials and methods. A single-stage retrospective cohort study of working men in industrial conditions was carried out. Anamnestic, clinical, laboratory, biochemical, instrumental methods were used. Diagnoses were made on the basis of modern clinical guidelines criteria. The groups were comparable in age and formed depending on the number of harmful production factors. Study group n = 52 – men with multiple 3-5 harmful production factors (industrial noise, general vibration, height at work, exposure to welding aerosol, night shifts, static stress) as the number of the following professions increases: crane operators, bulldozer operators, and compressor installations, fitters, electricians for maintenance of electrical equipment, batchers of concrete components. mixtures, electric and gas welders, Kamaz drivers of the 2nd class, locksmiths, repairmen, molders of reinforced concrete products and structures, loaders, operators of the equipment control panel, installers, plumber on duty; their average age in the group was 44.8 ± 14.7. Control group n = 50 – men with 1-2 harmful production factors (industrial noise, static stress) as the number increases in the presence of the following professions: site managers, janitor, auxiliary workers, class 1 bus drivers, construction and installation work foremen, fitters for the repair and maintenance of gas equipment, concrete workers, carpenters; their average age in the group was 43.8 ± 16.2. Results. Between the combined effects of harmful production factors with the comorbidity index, a direct strong correlation was established r = 0.841 ***, p < 0.001 (95% CI 0.672-0.926) according to the Pearson method in the study group, whose experience was 2.2 years longer, then as in the control group, no statically significant correlation was found r = 0.339, p > 0.05 (95% CI -0.065-0.647) according to Pearson’s method. Conclusion. The combined effect of 3-5 harmful production factors is statistically significant with an increase in length of service increases the risk of developing comorbid pathology in men of working age working at a large industrial enterprise, which increases the 10-year risk of fatal complications.

Aim. To identify the variability of somatometric parameters and body composition in young people of certain constitutional types and social groups. Material and methods. The survey involved 328 people (162 boys and 166 girls) who lived in different social environments. The representatives of the control group were brought up in a well-off family, and the persons of the main group lived in dysfunctional families. The measurement methods included the main indicators of total body size. Results. Data on the degree of severity of the main components of body weight in young people are presented and significant differences are established among representatives of individual constitutions and social groups. The shown relationships between the main tissue components of body weight and soma allow us to scientifically justify the development of corrective rehabilitation programs to reduce the risk of developing prenosological conditions. Conclusions. The comprehensive study of the somatic status and body composition of young people expands the understanding of the differences in the morphofunctional parameters of the human body. The obtained results of the study allow us to more objectively characterize the structural and functional organization of the soma at this stage of development and to establish the influence of social factors on the vital activity of the organism.

Representasi Feminisme pada Lirik Lagu Dangdut Koplo Jawa: Analisis Wacana Kritis Van Dijk (Feminism on Javanese Koplo Dangdut Songs: A Critical Discourse Analysis of van Dijk)

Authors: A. Herlianto
Published: July 2021

Penelitian ini menginvestigasi representasi feminisme pada lagu dangdut koplo Jawa. Tidak banyak yang mengkaji lagu dangdut koplo Jawa dari perspektif feminisme. Padahal, secara historis, Jawa memiliki agen-agen pergerakan untuk feminisme yang secara faktual seharusnya mempengaruhi kesusastraan dan kesenian Jawa. Ada lima lagu dalam bentuk transkrip sebagai data yang diperoleh dengan mentranskripsi lagu dangdut koplo Jawa dari YouTube. Data lalu dianalisis dengan menggunakan analisis wacana kritis van Dijk. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa lagu-lagu dangdut koplo Jawa merepresentasikan kesetaraan perempuan terhadap laki-laki. Peran perempuan diungkapkan tidak lagi sebagai second sex, yang sepenuhnya sebagai ibu rumah tangga, tetapi mereka memiliki kesempatan untuk memilih masa depan secara independen. Sementara itu, feminisme dinyatakan secara langsung dan tidak langsung di dalam lagu dengan menggunakan bahasa kiasan dalam bentuk metafora.This research investigated the representation of feminism in Javanese koplo dangdut song. These songs have got little attention in terms of feminism representation. Meanwhile, historically, Javanese society has factual agents of movement for feminism who should be influencing to the Javanese arts and literature.There arefive transcriptions of the songs as the data which collected by transcripting the songs from YouTube. The collected data were then analysed by applying van Dijk frame work of critical discourse analysis. The results show that most of the songs present gender equality between men and women. The role of women is not only presented as the second sex or as mainly a house wife, but they have opportunities to choose their own future life independently. This condition is suggested by using indirect language or using metaphoric expressions.

Published: July 2021

The pandemic situation has resulted in many obstacles in the lecture and research process. At the university level, online learning still faces many obstacles. Online meetings cannot replace face-to-face meetings. On the other side, students need direct interaction and communication with lecturers and fellow students. This interaction is needed in solving the subject matter and research problems. The confusion of undergraduate level students in finding ideas for final project research is quite high. Students in the third semester should have obtained the research idea to decide on their field of interest and elective courses to be taken for the next semester. This mentoring activity needs to be held as the introduction of research opportunities in Optimization. Optimization is one of the areas of interest in Mathematics that has many applications and research opportunities. Our team carried out mentoring activities and introduced research opportunities in Optimization to Mathematics students in Indonesia using the Zoom platform. The activity consists of two stages, namely the introduction and delivery of research opportunities. The activity results are expected to increase students' insight into research ideas and opportunities to complete their studies on time, even if possible faster than the specified time.
Sustaining Mak Yong – Main Puteri in Raman: A Discussion of its Existence in Cultural Evolutionary Thread
Authors: Alfan Syafiq Faliq
Published: July 2021

Mak Yong, a traditional Malay dance-theatre recognised by UNESCO as one of the intangible cultural heritage of Malaysia has indeed seen its progress since its revival in the 1970s by some of its prominent artists such as Khatijah Awang of the Sri Temenggung troupe fame. Sadly, although Mak Yong belongs to the region of Kelantan-Pattani of the Malay Peninsula, the art form has seen its greater decline in its southern Thailand counterpart. This could be as a result of the political climate aside from the inclination of the local towards Sunni Islamic values that forbid some of its ritualistic elements. This is apparent especially in the neighbouring state of Kelantan where Mak Yong has already been banned to be performed in public since the early 1990s unless it adheres to the Syariah law. However, in the context of the forms' existence in Pattani, despite its resilience towards the test of time, it has not gained as much attention compared to the Kelantan counterpart. Most extensive case studies in the past were based on the Kelantanese group (Sheppard, 1974; Yousof, 1976 & 1992; Nasuruddin, 1995). To extend our understanding of the study of Mak Yong of the Malay world, this paper aims to discuss the forms existence in Southern Thailand, particularly in the district of Raman, Yala Province. Special focus on its discussion will centre around the question of sustaining the tradition in the region through the relationship with Main Puteri, another ritualistic dance-theatre closely related to Mak Yong. Through the epistemological approach of Cultural Evolution, this paper intends to preliminarily explore the importance of this relationship in the bigger picture of Mak Yong as part of the cultural evolution in the Malay world. By identifying its natural phenomena, it is hoped that more exploration can be done in the future on the realm of Southeast Asian traditional performing arts.

Kasurupan: Spirits Taxonomies and Interpretation in the Practice of Kasenian Réak
Authors: Monteanni Luigi
Published: July 2021

Kasenian réak is a regional variant of the Javanese horse dances from Bandung, Indonesia. Commonly known in the archipelago as jaranan, kuda lumping or jathilan, the Javanese horse dances are a group of ceremonial musical performances during which a group of performers, led by a trance master, undergo voluntary possessions on behalf of spirits of the ancestors and other supernatural beings, under the influence of a musical ensemble. In different possession and trance phenomena around the world recognizing the acting spirit is often the key to communication with the supernatural being and treatment of the possessed. Thus, more or less different and precise taxonomies may be developed in order to do so. In réak, the possessed behaviour is interpreted by the trance master and members of the group in order to meet the spirit’s various demands and act accordingly to manage the possession. The purpose of this article is to examine the spirits’ taxonomies at play in réak as a case study. I do this in order to show in which sense analyses of the phenomenon of possession based on classification often fail to grasp the complexity and thus the significance of the experience. The outcome will underline which benefits can be obtained by a an approach that gives more value to a context-based ethnography of the possessed and its peculiarities than to the development of a general theory of possession with comparative purposes.
Effects of Multi-Directional Step-Up Training with Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation on Gait and Balance Ability in Stroke Patients
Authors: Choi Jieun , Kim Joong-Hwi
Published: July 2021

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of multi-directional step-up training with rhythmic auditory stimulation on gait and balance ability in stroke patients and also to help develop fall prevention and exercise programs for returning to daily life after stroke. The intervention method was randomly assigned to sixteen stroke patients, eight patients each in the experimental group and the control group. The experimental group carried out multi-directional step-up training with rhythmic auditory stimulation, and the control group performed only multi-directional step-up training. The training proceeded twelve times for 30 minutes for four weeks, and functional gait assessment, 10-meter walk test, and dynamic (by the Berg balance scale) and static (by Balancia software, Mintosys, Korea) balance ability assessments were conducted to examine the effect of the training on improving balance and gait ability. The study compared and analyzed the differences in the amount of change within the groups before and after training, and the differences in the amount of change between the two groups. Both groups showed more improved results after training than before in all assessments that measured gait and balance ability (p < 0.05). However, the experimental group showed a greater difference in the amount of change in every gait and balance ability assessment compared to the control group. (p < 0.05). Therefore, multi-directional step-up training can be an efficient intervention to improve the gait and balance ability of stroke patients and when accompanied by rhythmic auditory stimulation, the effectiveness could be maximized.

Poéticas de la escisión: asomarse, mirar
Authors: Sousa Pardo Carmen
Published: July 2021

El presente artículo pretende estudiar cómo el gesto de asomarse ha sido sensibilizado en las artes plásticas a partir del Romanticismo, concretamente en su representación en ventanas o balcones durante las vanguardias históricas. Considerando las ventanas como encuadres de la escisión, usando el término acuñado por Argullol, la sensibilización de este gesto será vista como la voluntad de trangredir el espacio asignado como propio, sea este humano o social. Esto es, el intento de superar la ineludible escisión que la ventana impone al individuo será en realidad el intento de acabar con el profundo solipsismo que acecha al ser contemporáneo.

Authors: Christensen W. K.
Published: July 2021

A small population of Be/emnocamax boweri Crick, 1910 from the Lower Middle Cenomanian primus bed in the limestone pit at Wunstorf west of Hannover (NW Germany) is studied by biometrical methods in order to analyse the variation of critical characters. The monotypic Belemnocamax differs from all other Upper Cretaceous belemnitellids by the small size of the guard, which is conical in ventral and lateral views, and by ha"'.ing a long, deep, and broad ventral groove. B. boweri is very rare and has only been recorded from eastern England and northwest Germany, where it occurs in the Lower Middle Ceno­manian. The ancestry of this genus is unknown.

European law specifies limit values (and test methods) for pollutant emissions from light duty vehicles and heavy-duty engines including carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), nitrogen oxide (NOx) and particulates, which are considered dangerous to human health. The internal combustion engines nowadays have strict regulation for emissions that resulted in the growth of demands for measuring methods and the measuring technology. WLTC is a new procedure that replaced the existing New European Diving Cycle (NEDC) to make the emissions become more effective when do the test in laboratory or in real traffic driving. The aim of this research is to investigate suitability of the sensor principle for HC measurement based on tests and their evaluations. The hydrocarbon sensor used to detect the HC by thermal ionization, which produces an ion current as the output voltage of the sensor. The results obtained by the ion measurement concept show that the optimization of the combustion process can be developed through simple mean.

The primary goal of this research is to examine and compare the overall quality of higher education institutions' results. In terms of research methodology, it falls under the category of descriptive comparative status studies. In the state of West Bengal, 218 colleges affiliated with seven universities were purposefully chosen as samples. The data is analysed using qualitative statistical methods such as percentages and graphical representations. It was discovered that 43.26 percent of colleges received a B score. It's also worth noting that 1.08 percent and 3.57 percent of colleges affiliated with Calcutta University and Vidyasagar University, respectively, have earned A++ and A+ accreditation. On the one hand, colleges affiliated with four universities (Burdwan University, North Bengal University, West Bengal State University, and Kalyani University) have received A, B++, B+, B to C grades, while colleges affiliated with two universities (Calcutta University and Vidyasagar University) have received A++, A+, A, B++, B+, B to C grades. As a result of the results, it is possible to infer that many colleges' success levels in terms of quality are not up to par.

Indian democracy allows citizens to choose their ruler by using their democratic rights of Universal Adult Franchise. However, they all cannot freely choose their representative due to many obligations from their leaders, community, and groups to which they belong. The study of electoral politics helps us to understand determinants of the voting behaviour of individual or community. The participation of religious minorities in electoral politics increases significantly, elections after elections, and their share in governance has increased only marginally. Among the Minorities, Muslims are the vulnerable section of Society and under-represented in India's legislative bodies and political process and the state of Tripura. Tracing the position of Muslim minorities in the electoral politics of Tripura, the findings observe that Muslims are politically less aware due to many socio-economic problems and the terrible intention of some political parties for using Muslims as vote bank without concerning the development of the communities. In this background, the present study is an attempt to understand the role of Muslim Minorities in the electoral politics of Tripura. It also examines the issues and factors that influence the Muslims' political behaviour during elections in Tripura.

This paper attempts to analyze the Technical and Economic Efficiency of four high performing manufacturing industries of India, viz., (i) Paper and paper products, (ii) Publishing, printing and reproduction of recorded media, (iii) Other non-metallic mineral products & (iv) Basic metals, in the post reform period. These four industries have been selected after comparing their growth rates among seventeen major industries with respect to the average industrial performance, which are calculated from ASI two digit level data for over two separate fifteen years span (1981-1995) & (1996-2010) representing the pre and post globalization states. After selecting the industries focus has been placed on their state of technical efficiency at the firm level. Here the analysis is carried out in terms of unit level ASI data and the method applied is the Stochastic Frontier Analysis. The years selected are 2003-04 and 2008-09. At the next step only the technically efficient firms have been culled out and an industry-wise analysis of their relative economic efficiency has been presented by considering the Generalized Leontief Production Function and applying Full Information Maximum Likelihood technique.
Proposal of walking to prevent a fall of a planetary exploration legged rover using effect of loose soil caused by a propagation of vibration
Authors: Watanabe Tomohiro , Iizuka Kojiro
Published: July 2021

In this study, a walking method which prevents to a fall of the planetary exploration legged rover is proposed. In the proposed walking method, the leg is sunk by giving vibration to the ground. The posture of the rover is changed in order to prevent to a fall of the rover by sinking leg. First of all, the relationship between the kind of vibration and the subsidence of the leg is confirmed. In this experimental result, the leg is shown to be easy to sink to the ground by giving vibration. Moreover, the larger vibratory force is, the easier the leg sinks to the ground. Finally, the legged testbed walks on the loose ground with a slope using the proposed walking method. In this experimental result, the testbed is difficult to fall down when it uses the proposed walking. Moreover, the angle of a slope that the testbed can walk becomes large by using the proposed walking.

This article explores why some Flemish secondary school students’ study choices are content-wise not in line with their career aspirations and, to some extent, follow gender and ethnic patterns. We use 83 semi-structured interviews, conducted with students in academic and technical tracks in three Flemish secondary schools. Compared to female pupils, male pupils are more likely to enrol in lower status tracks whose curricular substance prepares them for a STEM career (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics). Ethnic majority female pupils seem to adjust their study choices better to their aspirations, or the other way round. However, especially when changing track or field of study, ethnic majority female pupils are more likely to adapt their aspirations consistent with gender norms. While ethnic minority female pupils are more likely than ethnic majority female pupils to have STEM aspirations, their goals do not always seem to correspond with the study choices they have made. Additionally, perceived discrimination and family aspirations further impact both study choices and aspirations of ethnic minority pupils. Gendered study recommendations and choices, favouring male pupils in STEM careers, especially make that female pupils make study choices that are in terms of curriculum not always in line with their aspirations.

super-Earth planet candidate with a 233 day orbital period was announced by Ribas et al. New observations from the near-infrared Habitable-zone Planet Finder (HPF) Doppler spectrometer do not show this planetary signal. We ran a suite of experiments on both the original data and a combined original + HPF data set. These experiments include model comparisons, periodogram analyses, and sampling sensitivity, all of which show the signal at the proposed period of 233 days is transitory in nature. The power in the signal is largely contained within 211 RVs that were taken within a 1000 day span of observing. Our preferred model of the system is one that features stellar activity without a planet. We propose that the candidate planetary signal is an alias of the 145 day rotation period. This result highlights the challenge of analyzing long-term, quasi-periodic activity signals over multiyear and multi-instrument observing campaigns.

In the last decade a number of rapidly evolving transients have been discovered that are not easily explained by traditional supernova models. We present optical and UV data on one such object, SN 2018gep, that displayed a fast rise with a mostly featureless blue continuum around peak, and evolved to develop broad features typical of an SN Ic-bl while retaining significant amounts of blue flux throughout its observations. This blue excess is most evident in its near-UV flux, which is over 4 mag brighter than other stripped-envelope supernovae, and is still visible in optical g–r colors. Its fast rise time of t
rise,V
= 5.6 ± 0.5 days puts it squarely in the emerging class of Fast Evolving Luminous Transients, or Fast Blue Optical Transients. With a peak absolute magnitude of M

v
= −19.53 ± 0.23 mag it is on the extreme end of both the rise time and peak magnitude distribution for SNe Ic-bl. These observations are consistent with a simple SN Ic-bl model that has an additional form of energy injection at early times that drives the observed rapid, blue rise. We show that SN 2018gep and the literature SN iPTF16asu have similar photometric and spectroscopic properties and that they overall share many similarities with both SNe Ic-bl and Fast Evolving Transients. Based on our SN 2018gep host galaxy data we derive a number of properties, and we show that the derived host galaxy properties for both SN 2018gep and iPTF16asu are consistent with the SNe Ic-bl and gamma-ray burst/supernova sample while being on the extreme edge of the observed Fast Evolving Transient sample.
