Soft clay soils can be considered as problematic soil with the characteristic of high compressibility, low permeability and low shear strength. Construction on soft clay deposit may causes problem such as insufficient bearing capacity, settlement problem and instability on excavation and embankment. Ground improvement methods were used as the aimed of this study is to determine the effect of non-traditional stabilizer on the compressive strength of soft clay soils. Therefore, the objective of this study is to determine effect of compressive strength of untreated and treated soft clay soil with addition of non-traditional stabilizer at different curing periods. The soil properties of soft clay soil such as compaction, Atterberg limits, and unconfined compression strength (UCS) testing methods were used to observe the performance of treated and untreated samples. The test results from the UCS indicated that once Biomass Silica and Sodium Silicate in the form of SH-85 and TX-85 have been added to the clay soil, the strength of the sample will increase with increasing percent of sodium silicate and curing periods.

Water supply-demand is increasing in line with the increment in population. Natural water resources are declining due to reduction of water catchment areas, river pollution and drought. This causes the raw water quantity and quality to decrease and increase water treatment costs. Groundwater usage may be able to solve this problem due to its less polluted nature which requires less treatment. The groundwater is preserved in aquifer within the geological formations, i.e., in the alluvium and fractured-rock. However, the groundwater yield of each formation is unknown unless tube well is constructed and pumping test are performed. This study aim to evaluate the tube well performance via pumping test on two different geological formations. This research focuses on the effect of transmissivity, hydraulic conductivity, and efficiency of the aquifer, which are step-drawdown test, constant-rate test and recovery test in tube well in geological formation of alluvium and fractured rock. Three well-pumping tests at each formation were conducted at IBS Universiti Malaysia Kelantan (UMK), Kelantan, Sekolah Kebangsaan Chantum, Kelantan, Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Agama Tok Bachok, Kelantan, FRU Wakaf Tapai, Terengganu, Kampung Dada Kering, Kuala Lipis, Pahang, and Kampung Seri Gunung Pulai, Johor, respectively. The aquifer efficiency obtained from the relationship between transmissivity and hydraulic conductivity. The suggested value of 75% efficiency is selected to present the well’s efficiency. The wells efficiency indicate that the alluvium formation has roughly uniform output between 9.39m3/h, 11.23m3/h and 23.38m3/h. Meanwhile in the fractured rock formation the efficiency was highly varied between sites, the highest is 32.33m3/h and the other two sites obtained has low output of 3.44 m3/h and 1.00m3/h respectively. The alluvium aquifer showed uniform water production compared to fractured hard rock aquifer. Meanwhile the water quantity in the fractured hard rock formation is unpredicted, which subjected to the fractured rock characteristic.

The rapid growth of aviation industry resulted in a growing pilot demand globally from year to year. The increasing rate of pilot employed triggers all airliners to meet the needs of the organization that affect job satisfaction. Now, much attention has been given to the issue regarding quality of work life as flight crew by the management in the aviation sector as it is pertains to employee behaviour. Job satisfaction of flight crew describe on how well the job provides fulfilment and it serves as a sourceor means of enjoyment to every flight crew. Job satisfaction is important as it represent the degree to which flight crew feel positively or negatively about their job. There are many studies conducted to show the level of working satisfaction. However, not many studies have clearly demonstrated and discussed the quality of work life as a flight crew working in aviation industry. Therefore, this study aims to highlight the quality of work life as a flight crew working in aviation industry. All data from books, journal and articles were analysed. The result revealed that the job meaningfulness factor has the greatest impact on job satisfaction among flight crew working with commercial airlines in aviation industry. On the other hand, the lowest satisfied aspect among flight crew is related to reward and fairness aspect.

This research focuses on developing an automatic flight control system for a fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) using a software-in-the-loop method in which the PID controller is implemented in National Instruments LabVIEW software and the flight dynamics of the fixed-wing UAV are simulated using the X-Plane flight simulator. The fixed-wing UAV model is created using the Plane Maker software and is based on existing geometry and propulsion data from the literature. Gain tuning for the PID controller is accomplished using the pole placement technique. In this approach, the controller gain can be calculated using the dynamic parameters in the transfer function model and the desired characteristic equation. The proposed controller designs' performance is validated using attitude, altitude, and velocity hold simulations. The results demonstrate that the technique can be an effective tool for researchers to validate their UAV control algorithms by utilising the realistic UAV or manned aircraft models available in the X-Plane flight simulator.
Democracy and Politics: An Introduction to the Special Issue of the Athens Journal of Social Sciences

The Use of Primaries by Political Parties: The Case of PASOK
Authors: Papanikos Gregory T.
Published: January 2022

This paper examines the primary elections of the PanHellenic Socialist Party (PASOK) which were held on 5th and 12th of December 2021. Six candidates run for the position of the president in the first round and two runners-up in the second. As mentioned in the literature, there is a dearth of primary elections studies relative to general elections. The latter attract the attention of mass media for the obvious reason: they determine who or which party will govern the country or any other political entity. Nevertheless, there is a growing literature on primary studies. There are three aspects researched in this literature: (a) primary elections systems, (b) why a political party decides to hold primary elections and (c) the selection criteria of candidates and voters. This paper uses the existing literature to analyze some facets of the history of PASOK’s primary elections, emphasizing the most recent one of 2021. The most important conclusion emerging from this analysis is that ideology did play a role, particularly the candidates’ stance on their possible collaboration with the right-wing or the left-wing parties, which has been a controversial issue in the last decade. Another important conclusion is that PASOK voters opted for a younger candidate primarily because they wanted to get out of the current stalemate of PASOK’s low performance in general elections. As predicted from the literature, the competition between the six candidates resulted in a large turnout on the ballot date even though other factors played a positive role such as very good weather and a wide media coverage.

Fiscal Policy, Monetary Policy and Price Volatility: Evidence from an Emerging Economy
Authors: Le Thanh Tung
Published: January 2022

Vietnam is an Asian emerging country, which now is ranked in the group of the fastest-gro-wing economies worldwide. However, this economy has faced galloping inflation in recent years. So the Vietnamese experience is a valuable reference for the policymakers in the developing world in order to successfully control price volatility. Our study applies the Vector autoregressive method, the Johansen cointegration test, and the Granger causality test to examine the impact of fiscal and monetary policy on price volatility in Vietnam with a quarterly data sample collected over the period from 2004 to 2018. The study results confirm the existence of a long-term cointegration relationship between these policies and price volatility in Vietnam. Besides, the variance decomposition and impulse response function also show that the impact of these policies on inflation is clear, however, the fiscal policy more strongly affects inflation than the monetary policy. Finally, the Granger causality test also indicates one-way causality relationships from the government expenditure as well as the exchange rate to price volatility in the study period.

Keberadaan CMC (Computer Mediated Communication) telah mempengaruhi pola komunikasi manusia yang awalnya tatap muka menjadi lebih mudah dengan menggunakan perangkat elektronik. Sehingga proses komunikasi dapat dilakukan dengan lebih fleksibel meskipun terpisah oleh jarak. Akan tetapi, komunikasi melalui perangkat elektronik memiliki keterbatasan dalam menyampaikan pesan dan memberikan kesempatan penerima pesan dalam memahami pesan karena CMC (Computer Mediated Communication) tidak mencakup komunikasi nonverbal seperti ekspresi dan perasaan. Oleh karena itu, komunikasi melalui perangkat elektronik berpaku pada penggunaan bahasa saja. Akan tetapi, orang cenderung melakukan kesalahan bahasa dalam komunikasi digital seperti penghilangan atau kesalahan penggunaan tanda baca, kesalahan ejaan dan tidak sesuai PUEBI, kata yang disingkat, dan rangkaian kata yang sulit dipahami. Dua kondisi ini tentu berdampak pada proses komunikasi digital karena orang beresiko mengalami kesalahpahaman dengan persepsi yang berbeda di antara keduanya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menggambarkan urgensi dan peran emoji dan ejaan yang sesuai PUEBI dalam meminimalisir kesalahpahaman di kalangan mahasiswa Universitas Airlangga. Metode penelitian ini adalah deskriptif kualitatif yang mengaplikaskan teknik purposive sampling untuk pengambilan sampel. Kriteria responden adalah mahasiswa S-1 Universitas Airlangga yang memiliki pengalaman komunikasi digital. Pengambilan data dilakukan melalui survei dan studi literatur untuk mendapatkan informasi rinci tentang topik penelitian. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penggunaan emoji dan ejaan yang baik berperan penting dalam komunikasi digital karena keterbatasan dalam penyampaian komunikasi nonverbal dan kesalahan semantik berpengaruh terhadap kesalahpahaman antara komunikan dan komunikator. Emoji dan ejaan yang sesuai PUEBI dapat memperjelas pesan sehingga maksud dapat tersampaikan dengan baik, mengganti nada atau intonasi bicara, menyalurkan dan mewakilkan ekspresi pengirim, dan memberikan kesan kepada pengirim pesan.

The Four Prominent Indicators of Diagnostic Testing: Consistency among their Values Reported in Saudi Medical Journals
Authors: Serag Hamzah Abdul Majid , Rushdi Ali Muhammad Ali
Published: January 2022

We provide a novel method for validating any purported set of the four most prominent indicators of diagnostic testing (Sensitivity, Specificity, Positive Predictive Value, and Negative Predictive Value), by observing that these indicators constitute three rather than four independent quantities. This observation has virtually been unheard of in the open medical literature. We defined two functions, which serve as consistency criteria, since each of them checks consistency for any set of four numerical values claimed to be the four basic diagnostic indicators. Most of the data we came across in various Saudi medical journals met our criteria for consistency, but in a few cases, there were obvious unexplained blunders. We relate our present findings to the more general issue of detection and ramifications of flawed, fabricated or wrong data. We observe that the research field handling the detection of flawed data is still in its infancy, and hope that this field will reach maturity very soon.

There are few studies focusing on the effect of tourism on poverty inthe emerging tourism markets, however, there is no empirical evidence in Vietnam. Our paper is the first one that aims to investigatethe impact of tourism on poverty with a new database collectedfrom 61 provinces in Vietnam over the period 2010–2018. Theempirical result strongly shows that tourism has a negative andsignificant impact on poverty in all estimated models. It means thata higher in tourism revenue can lead to a lower poverty rate in theprovinces. Besides, labour force and education are found to have anegative and significant effect on poverty. Although foreign directinvestment has a negative impact on poverty, however, the coefficients are not significant. Finally, we have some conclusions andimplications for policymakers to sustainably reduce the poverty rateof households in the future.

The application of directed energy to spacecraft mission design is explored using rapid transit to Mars as the design objective. An Earth-based laser array of unprecedented size (10-m diameter) and power (100 MW) is assumed to be enabled by ongoing developments in photonic laser technology. A phased-array laser of this size and incorporating atmospheric compensation would be able to deliver laser power to spacecraft in cislunar space, where the incident laser is focused into a hydrogen heating chamber via an inflatable reflector. The hydrogen propellant is then exhausted through a nozzle to realize specific impulses of 3000 s. The architecture is shown to be immediately reusable via a burn-back maneuver to return the propulsion unit while still within range of the Earth-based laser. The ability to tolerate much greater laser fluxes enables realizing the combination of high thrust and high specific impulse, making this approach favorable in comparison to laser-electric propulsion and occupying a parameter space similar to gas-core nuclear thermal rockets (without the requisite reactor). The heating chamber and its associated regenerative cooling and propellant handling systems are crucial elements of the design that receive special attention in this study. The astrodynamics and the extreme aerocapture maneuver required at Mars arrival after a 45-day transit are also analyzed in detail. The application of laser-thermal propulsion as an enabling technology for other rapid transit missions in the solar system and beyond is discussed.

A child’s home environment has been shown to be related to the development of earlynumeracy skills in some countries. However, significant relationships between home learningenvironment and math achievement have not consistently been found, and likely vary acrossdifferent cultural and socio-political contexts. Here we explored the home environment andearly numeracy skills of 243 children (3-5 years), who were not attending preschoolprogrammes in very low-income settings in Cape Town, South Africa. Caregiverscompleted a questionnaire including information regarding experiences of children in thehome; children completed a number identification task, a counting task and the Give-N task. The amount of resources in the home learning environment (e.g. the number of books and toys), frequency of home learning activities caregivers did with their children, and caregiver levels of education and income were not associated with number knowledge. While the home learning environment has been shown to be important for developing early numeracy skills in previous research, this study suggests that factors other than the home learning environment may also be important targets to foster numeracy skills and school readiness in low-income settings in South Africa.
Valid and Reliable Measures of Generalized Trust: Evidence from a Nationally Representative Survey and Behavioral Experiment
Authors: Robbins Blaine G
Published: January 2022

Generalized trust has been one of the most frequently examined constructs since researchers first introduced measures of it in the 1950s. Despite its significance, there is a growing consensus that traditional measures of generalized trust are prone to measurement invalidity and non-equivalence, calling into question sociological knowledge about generalized trust. In this article, I advance trust research in sociology by (1) refining two new self-report measures of generalized trust—the Stranger Face Trust scale (SFT) and the Imaginary Stranger Trust scale (IST)—and (2) assessing their empirical performance on a nationally representative probability sample (N = 1,264). I compare the reliability and validity of SFT, IST, and traditional measures of generalized trust across a range of measurement validation tests. Results suggest that SFT provides the most accurate and consistent measure of generalized trust.

Background: Death in diabetes mellitus occurs mostly due to co-morbidities and complications resulting from diabetes. To reduce morbidity and mortality, awareness regarding diabetes and its complications is necessary. The aim of the study is to assess the health care practices and co-morbidities associated with the disease.

Materials and Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at community level (Kharji ward number 4) at Biratnagar. All diagnosed patients of type II diabetes mellitus ≥ 18 years of age were enrolled for the study.  Data for socio-demographic factors and clinical status were collected by pretested semi structured Questionnaire. Random blood sugar was measured using a portable glucometer. Anthropometric measurements were done by measuring height and weight of participants and body mass index was calculated by standard formula. The data was analyzed using SPSS version 21.0.

Results: Out of the total 205 participants, 55.7% were found to be within the age group of 45-64 years i.e. middle aged (55.6%). Almost equal participants of the male and female were found, 50.7% and 49.3% respectively. More participants were found of below poverty line 67.31%. More than half 47.8% of the participants were suffering from the diabetes for less than 5 years of duration. All most all participants 98.5% knew about diabetes and its complications. Majority of the respondents 62.4% were having co-morbidity, among them 34.6% of participants were having hypertension. Majority of the participants were utilizing private health care service 79%.

Conclusion: The diabetic participants were mostly of middle age with almost equal number of male and female having adequate knowledge about diabetes. Hypertension was the most common co morbidity among participants and they preferred private health care service mostly.

Authors: Gaire Chandra Prakash
Published: January 2022

Background: Vitamin D deficiency is a serious health-problem worldwide and the estimation of its plasma concentration is crucial. The study aims to determine the circulating levels of vitamin D in patients visiting Birat Medical College Teaching Hospital, one of the tertiary care centers of Eastern Nepal.

Materials and Methods: It was descriptive cross-sectional study conducted in the Department of Biochemistry at Birat Medical College Teaching Hospital, Nepal. From the hospital registry, clinical data of 250 patients including their age, gender and serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D was retrieved for the four months of May – August, 2021. The vitamin D status was classified as deficiency (<10 ng/mL), insufficiency (10–30ng/mL), sufficiency ≥ 30ng/mL) and toxicity (≥ 100 ng/mL).

Results: Out of total subjects (n=250), none of them showed toxic serum concentrations of vitamin D, 38% had sufficient, 57% had insufficient and 5% had deficient levels of this vitamin. Among affected individuals, vitamin D insufficiency had predominated in 41% population who were 41-60 years old. Gender-wise comparison of vitamin D status in the insufficiency group showed around 33% males and 67% females having insufficient levels of this vitamin.

Conclusion: With the vitmain D inssufficieny present in more than half of the study population, it becomes paramount to further scrutinize the associated factors apart from the age and gender. To this end, further studies are needed.
