Hızla gelişmekte olan blok zinciri teknolojisi, önceleri sadece kripto varlıkların alışveriş aracı olarak kullanılmaktayken, günümüzde akıllı sözleşmelerin işleyişine dayanaklık etmektedir. Blok zinciri teknolojisinin avantajları, akıllı sözleşmelerin blok zinciri altyapısı üzerinde kullanılmasını cazip kılmaktadır. Aslında program kodu niteliğinde olan akıllı sözleşmeler, tarafların bu kodlar vasıtasıyla sözleşme kurmalarına veya geleneksel olarak kurdukları sözleşmeyi yürütmelerine imkân sağlamaktadır. Sözleşme görüşmelerinden sözleşmenin ifasına kadar olan sürece aracılık edebilen akıllı sözleşmeler, bu süreçte çeşitli irade ve bilgi açıklaması oluşturup muhataba iletmektedir. Elektronik temsilci niteliğindeki akıllı sözleşmeler, işlevlerini yerine getirirken borçlar hukuku çerçevesinde bazı sorunlar ortaya çıkabilir. Türk Borçlar Kanunu’nun mevcut hükümleri, akıllı sözleşmelerin aracılık ettiği sözleşme ilişkilerine bünyesine uygun düştüğü ölçüde uygulanabilir. Ancak akıllı sözleşmeler aracılığıyla kurulan veya yürütülen sözleşmelerin kanunî çerçevesinin kanun koyucu tarafından çizilmesi, hukukî güvenliğin sağlanması bakımından büyük bir gerekliliktir. Dolayısıyla, gerek akıllı sözleşmelere ilişkin kanunî düzenlemelerin yapılması, gerekse akıllı sözleşmelerin hazırlanması ve akıllı sözleşmelerden doğan uyuşmazlıkların çözümü için bilişim teknolojileri alanında uzman hukukçulara olan ihtiyaç her geçen gün artmaktadır.
CEZA HUKUKUNDA YÜKÜMLÜLÜKLERİN ÇATIŞMASININ HUKUKİ NİTELİĞİ VE GÖRÜNÜŞ ŞEKİLLERİ
Authors: KOÇ Ziya
Published: November 2021

Ceza hukukunun temel görevi hukuki değerleri korumaktır. Hukuki değerlerin korunması amacıyla ceza kanunlarında çeşitli yükümlülükler öngörülmüştür. Bu yükümlülükler genellikle kaçınma şeklindedir. Ancak, hukuki değerlerin aktif bir biçimde korunması amacıyla istisnai hallerde hareket yükümlülüklerine de yer verilmiştir. Bu yükümlülükler arasında bazı durumlarda çatışmalar meydana gelebilir. Doktrinde buna yükümlülüklerin çatışması denilmektedir. Yükümlülüklerin çatıştığı hallerde öncelikle yükümlülük öngören normların bir muhatabı bulunmalıdır. Bu yükümlülükler aynı anda meydana gelmeli ve bunların yan yana yerine getirilmeleri mümkün olmamalıdır. Yükümlülüklerden birinin yerine getirilmesi ile kişi sorumluluktan kurtulmalıdır. Yükümlülüklerin çatışması iki düzeyde gerçekleşir: Birinci düzey, hukuki değerlerle bağlantılı olarak menfaatler düzeyidir. İkinci düzey ise yükümlülükler seviyesinde meydana gelir. Görünüş şekilleri itibarıyla yükümlülüklerin çatışması farklı şekillerde görülebilir. Çatışma türlerine göre uygulanacak hükümler değişmektedir.
ŞÜPHELİ İŞLEM BİLDİRİMİ YÜKÜMLÜLÜĞÜNÜN İHMALİ HALİNDE YÜKÜMLÜNÜN CEZA HUKUKU SORUMLULUĞU
Authors: GENÇ Fatma Umay
Published: November 2021

5549 sayılı Suç Gelirlerinin Aklanmasının Önlenmesi Hakkında Kanun’da öngörülmüş olan şüpheli işlem bildirimi yükümlülüğü, hukukumuzda yükümlü olarak kabul edilenlerin, nezdinde veya aracılığıyla “yapılan veya yapılmaya teşebbüs edilen işlemlere konu malvarlığının yasa dışı yollardan elde edildiğine veya yasa dışı amaçlarla kullanıldığına dair herhangi bir bilgi, şüphe veya şüpheyi gerektirecek bir hususun bulunması halinde”, bu işlemleri MASAK’a bildirmelerini gerektirir. Bu bağlamda, “bilgi”, “şüphe” ve “şüpheyi gerektirecek husus” ifadelerinden ne anlaşılması gerektiğinin açıklığa kavuşturulması önemlidir. Zira, özellikle “bilgi” ifadesinin anlamı, yükümlünün şüpheli işlem bildiriminden farklı bir bildirim yükümlülüğünü de gerektirebilir. Nitekim, işleme konu malvarlığı suçtan elde edilmişse ya da bu malvarlığının yasa dışı amaçlarla kullanılması aynı zamanda suç teşkil ediyorsa, işlemin yapıldığı sırada ya da işlem tamamlandıktan sonra bu konuda “bilgi” sahibi olan yükümlünün, ayrıca suçu bildirme yükümlülüğü de söz konusu olabilir. Suçu bildirme yükümlülüğünün ihmali, 5237 sayılı Türk Ceza Kanunu’nda öngörülen şartların gerçekleşmesi halinde, suç teşkil etmektedir. Bu makalede, Türk hukukunda şüpheli işlem bildirimi yükümlülüğüne dair açıklamalarda bulunulmuş ve bu yükümlülüğün ihmali halinde bildirimle yükümlü olan kişinin ceza hukuku sorumluluğu incelenmiştir.

La dimensión espectacular de la calle en la ciudad posmoderna: el paseo Santa Lucía (Monterrey, Nuevo León)
Authors: GONZÁLEZ José Manuel PRIETO
Published: November 2021

La cultura posmoderna ha venido estimulando un modelo de ciudad en el que el atractivo, la magia y la capacidad de seducción estética son claves como herramienta de beneficio económico. El criterio estético y la magia remiten a lo espectacular, y el espectáculo –indisociable ya de las sociedades actuales–, se sustenta básicamente en la imagen (apariencia), con frecuencia aparatosa u ostentosa, que se ofrece a la vista para diversión, deleite o asombro de los espectadores, en este caso ciudadanos y turistas. Con la intención de posicionarse globalmente, muchas ciudades del mundo están implementando políticas urbanas que fomentan proyectos espectaculares cuya recepción por parte de la ciudadanía suele ser bastante acrítica. Como parte de una investigación más amplia que propone una revisión multidisciplinaria de lo urbano desde la calle, este artículo aborda el estudio de una calle de Monterrey (Nuevo León, México) tan atípica como espectacular: el Paseo Santa Lucía. El éxito social y popular de este espacio público es incuestionable, pero no podemos permitir que la presencia deslumbrante de la obra anule nuestra capacidad crítica. Sobre todo porque es preciso alertar contra los riesgos que implica acomodar las políticas urbanas a las exigencias del espectáculo.Palabras clave: Calle – sociedad del espectáculo – cultura posmoderna – urbanismo – Monterrey (Nuevo León, México)

Por el otro, analizamos la trayectoria exportadora del trigo en el período, dando cuenta del peso relativo del mismo en el conjunto de las exportaciones e indicando la participación de cada uno de los destinos.Palabras clave: trigo – mercado cerealero – exportaciones – gran expansión.
De las sociedades de oficio a la unidad de clase: los primeros intentos federativos del movimiento obrero de Buenos Aires, 1890-1896
Authors: POY Lucas
Published: November 2021

En los últimos quince años del siglo XIX se produjo un salto decisivo en la consolidación de sociedades gremiales entre los trabajadores de Buenos Aires. El fortalecimiento de vínculos organizativos no se limitó, de todas formas, a las diferentes asociaciones de oficio. Muy pronto esas sociedades gremiales de diferentes gremios establecieron relaciones entre sí: no solo porque en todo momento jugó un papel destacado el ejemplo de los gremios más avanzados para estimular a la acción a los más rezagados, sino porque además muy tempranamente se planteó el problema de avanzar en una articulación de las distintas sociedades. Este artículo aborda un análisis de estos primeros intentos federativos, que jugaron un papel importante en la historia del movimiento obrero local.Palabras clave: Federación obrera – movimiento obrero argentino – socialismo – anarquismo.
Gauchos y católicos. El origen de las peregrinaciones gauchas a la Basílica de Luján, Buenos Aires, 1945
Authors: CASAS Matías Emiliano
Published: November 2021

La integración entre sectores de la Iglesia Católica y dirigentes de agrupaciones tradicionalistas dio origen en 1945 a la primera peregrinación gaucha –institucionalizada y orgánica– a la basílica de Luján. Con el paso de los años se consolidó una práctica que se sostiene en la actualidad. El estudio de esas manifestaciones permite, por un lado analizar la circulación de una representación del gaucho vinculado indefectiblemente a la religión católica, y por otro lado atender el rol protagónico desempeñado por Monseñor Anunciado Serafini y los círculos criollos El Rodeo y Martín Fierro. La afinidad sostenida por el “obispo peregrino” con los centros evocativos del gaucho resultó clave para la concreción de esas actividades. La figura del hombre de la pampa encontraba, entonces, una nueva reafirmación ya no sólo como “símbolo de las virtudes patrióticas”, sino como portador de los valores evangélicos.Palabras clave: gaucho – tradición – Iglesia Católica – Anunciado Serafini – Virgen de Luján.
Memorias de militancia en Tucumán: los cuentos de los viejos guerreros
Authors: Nofal Rossana
Published: November 2021

La serie narrativa de la memoria de la dictadura en Tucumán es disímil. Se construye entre los límites del género testimonial y del relato periodístico con el contrapunto de las voces de los autores que la piensan desde Buenos Aires y los que la piensan desde Tucumán. Hay un cruce de temporalidades pero también de espacios geográficos y de circuitos de lectura. Este trabajo propone la lectura contrapuesta de las “memorias contra memorias” en términos de Jelin (2006). Tucumán se representa como un campo de batalla en los testimonios de la política de los años ’70. Señalo por su importancia dos libros publicados inicialmente en el exterior: Soldados de Perón. Los Montoneros de Richard Gillespie (1982) y Dossier secreto. El mito de la “guerra sucia” en Argentina, de Martin Edwin Andersen (1993). En el año 2005, Eduardo Anguita publica en Buenos Aires su novela testimonial, La Compañía de Monte y Lucía Mercado publica en el mismo año en Tucumán, Santa Lucía de Tucumán, La Base, libro con sello editor de la autora. Desde la escritura literaria y con una fuerte apuesta a la construcción metafórica sobre la dictadura en Tucumán, se inscribe la novela de Horacio Elsinger, La virgen de los ojos cerrados, publicada recientemente en Buenos Aires. En los libros del corpus, el pasado violento de la provincia aparece inscripto con sus múltiples complejidades y organizado por marcadas antinomias y la gran división del “aquí” y el “allá”. La metáfora de Elsinger no engendra un nuevo orden testimonial sino que explicita los silencios.Palabras clave: Guerra;  militancia; memorias;  metáfora

Authors: Casaprima Viviana , D’Addiego Sofía , Meinardi Antonella
Published: November 2021

La Fibromialgia (FM) es un síndrome de etiología desconocida, caracterizado por dolor crónico y generalizado del aparato músculo—esquelético que puede alterar la calidad de vida de las personas que lo presentan desde lo personal, social, académico y laboral. La FM es considerada el segundo trastorno “reumático” más común, luego de la osteoartritis. Además del dolor, al ser un cuadro sindrómico, los pacientes pueden presentar fatiga y alteraciones en el sueño, que con frecuencia se combinan con síntomas sensoriales, motores, vegetativos, cognitivos y afectivos. En relación a las manifestaciones auditivas, se ha observado una alta prevalencia de síntomas otológicos como hipoacusia, hipersensibilidad al sonido y acúfenos entre otros. En este sentido es importante considerar en la evaluación del síndrome la valoración auditiva, esto permitiría implementar una intervención terapéutica multidisciplinar y personalizada que considere tanto la sintomatología como las necesidades y entorno del paciente.
Recurrencia de infecciones de COVID-19.
Authors: Viera Iván Ariel
Published: November 2021

Hasta finales del 2019, el Covid-19 era un virus desconocido. Su aparición y rápida expansión sorprendió a la comunidad médica internacional. Más allá de la facilidad de contagio y su potencial gravedad, actualmente está causando mayor conmoción el creciente número de pacientes que después de ser dados de alta, recaen y en ocasiones fallecen. A esta fecha se han registrado seis casos de reinfección comprobada a nivel mundial. Es una cantidad mínima en el universo de personas infectadas. No obstante, ¿la inmunidad contra la reinfección es temporal?, ¿debemos preocuparnos mientras los mecanismos inmunológicos sean desconocidos en profundidad? A fin de encontrar respuesta a estos interrogantes, se planteó como objetivo analizar la recurrencia de infecciones de Covid-19. Para eso, entre los días 20 al 27 de octubre de 2020, y del 1 al 3 de marzo de 2021, se realizó una revisión bibliográfica a través del buscador Google en las bases de datos Pubmed/Medline, Scielo, Scopus, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, sitios oficiales y especializados. Como criterios de inclusión se aplicaron los descriptores: Covid-19, inmunidad, reincidencia, reinfección, Covid-19 en Argentina. En el marco de la revisión, los principales hallazgos son: 1) las pruebas médico-científicas son insuficientes para afirmar que un paciente dado de alta tiene muchas posibilidades para reinfectarse con Covid-19; 2) la inmunidad contra la reinfección es temporal; y 3) ante la posibilidad de recurrencia y la falta de evidencia concluyente sobre la estabilidad inmunológica, la recomendación más acertada para cualquier ciudadano es mantener las medidas de prevención y bioseguridad.

Introducción: la actividad física reduce el riesgo de padecer afecciones cardíacas, diabetes y permite controlar el peso, la salud osteomuscular, aportando beneficios psicológicos. El personal de salud es importante para asesorar sobre actividad física. Resulta interesante conocer si cumplen con las recomendaciones actuales. Objetivo: estudiar la actividad física, tiempo sedentario, colesterol, glucemia en ayunas y estado nutricional de profesionales de salud. Métodos: se estudiaron 322 trabajadores de salud de ambos sexos de hospitales de Buenos Aires. Se implementó un cuestionario de actividad física y se estudió la glucemia en ayunas, colesterol, edad, sexo, peso y talla. Resultados: la edad promedio fue 40.7 años, 40% no realiza actividad física suficiente. Los activos poseen un mejor estado nutricional (p=0.041), y alto porcentaje de niveles saludables de colesterol (73.5%). El tiempo sedentario promedio fue 347.83 minutos, 67% reporto más de 4 horas. Discusión: Que el personal de la salud realice actividad física es importante, entre ellos, los médicos deberían formarse sobre el tema durante sus estudios de grado. La promoción de hábitos adecuados de actividad física durante su educación es importante para mejorar el asesoramiento que proporcionaran luego. Se puede ser activo, cumplir con recomendaciones de actividad física, y también ser sedentario, si se queda varias horas sentado. Las pausas activas son útiles para contrarrestar este fenómeno, su implementación debiera ser normativa. Conclusiones: aproximadamente el 60% del grupo de profesionales realiza actividad física en niveles recomendados, pero la conducta sedentaria es elevada. Se podrían implementar políticas que contribuyan a disminuir el tiempo sedentario.
Variation in hip and sepal parameters of invasive Rosa rugosa between sites and years
Authors: Gudžinskas Zigmantas , Rasimavičius Mindaugas
Published: November 2021

Rosa rugosa is among the most invasive species in Europe, and it is considered a severe threat to the diversity and stability of coastal habitats. In Lithuania, it is a widespread invasive species occurring in coastal and inland areas. This research aimed to estimate the variation in R. rugosa hip and sepal parameters within and among sites from coastal and inland areas, and investigate the effects of environmental factors on the hip and sepal sizes. Field studies were performed at four coastal and three inland sites in 2008, and the studies were repeated in 2016. We collected 100 mature hips at each site and measured the hip width, hip length and sepal length. We analysed variation in hip and sepal parameters between the study years, and the effect of meteorological factors and agrochemical properties of the soil on hip and sepal sizes. This study revealed significant variation in R. rugosa hip width, hip length and sepal length among the studied sites. The largest hips and sepals were found in the coastal habitat at the Smeltė site, whereas the smallest hips and sepals were recorded in inland habitat at the Staviškės site, where R. rugosa occurred in woodland. The comparison of hip and sepal sizes at the same sites during two study years revealed irregular variation. Mean hip width and mean length of sepals in 2008 were significantly more prominent than in 2016, whereas no significant differences in hip length were found between the study years. The content of phosphorus in the soil negatively correlated, whereas the content of carbonates positively correlated with the sepal length. A strong negative relationship was found between the sunshine duration and hip length and width ratio. However, the revealed relationships of the hip and sepal parameters with the environmental factors could be a coincidence or a result of the cumulative effect of the multiple factors’ interaction and should be investigated separately.

In the era towards human capital development, higher education institutions such as universities and colleges need to equip with the substantial capability of analysing student’s academic achievement level for making appropriate academic decision such as selecting a course specialization. Choosing a suitable field of study significantly improves students’ learning experience in their university studies. As a positive impact, this can help to reduce the drop-out rate of universities. However, most of the existing academic progression process to assign students to their specialization is time-consuming as each single process involves extensive analysis of data from different aspects of study. Personal consultancy may result in bias of advice which most of the time is based on their consultant’s personal experience. This paper aims to propose a machine learning based decision support system for academic advisory. Artificial neural network (ANN) is applied as the decision support engine in the proposed model. This model assists academicians to make better decisions when assigning students to their specialization. This study has taken a school of SEGI University to be the platform to run the preliminary testing on the proposed system. The third year students’ academic records and their subjects’ assessment in previous semesters were sampled as training set for the model. Experimental results showed that the proposed decision support model exhibits high accuracy in classifying students into two different specializations according to their respective academic achievements levels.

Published: November 2021

Air pollution can have major impacts on living being and society. Different systems has been developed to predict upcoming air pollution. These prediction systems use different types of models for predicting the air pollution. This paper aims to compare the popular models being used to predict air pollution. The significant models are Artificial Neural Network (ANN), Fuzzy Logic and Adaptive Neuro- Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS). These models are not only being applied in air pollution prediction, but they were applied in different fields such as fuel consumption and pattern recognition. The structure of each model are discussed in terms of their advantages and disadvantages. Base on comparison of each model and their structures, Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) is considered to be the best solution for air pollution prediction systems.
Backdoor Detection Using Machine Learning

Published: November 2021

This research aims to design a backdoor detection technique by using machine learning approach. The implication of this research is to ensure a more effective backdoor detection in network platforms. Security measures against these problems include the use of software programs such as backdoor detection programs. One technique is machine learning (ML); that is a set of tools by which a machine can learn new concepts and new patterns based on a history of learned patterns. The work concentrated on application backdoors which are embedded within the code of a legitimate application. The proposed program in this research is an improvement to backdoor detection based on machine learning techniques. It is developed in Java and employs both supervised and unsupervised methods in the WEKA tool. This helps improving the detection compared to previous methods such fuzzy logic. The results of the experiments have proven that the proposed program is better at detecting backdoors than fuzzy logic when valuated with similar data set. This proves that combining K-Nearest Neighbour and Naive Bayes algorithms is better than using Fuzzy Logic method. The program encountered less false positives and detected all backdoors in the dataset.

This study investigates the feasibility of converting four (4) existing single purpose water supply reservoir schemes into conjunctive hydropower operation that could supply raw waters to respective water treatment plants and at the same time, generate power. These dams with proper retrofitting exercises could be a potential hydropower cum direct water supply reservoir operation. The change in operation does not only berth well with current trend of dual or multipurpose functions of the reservoir scheme but also in light of emerging role of hydropower as a mature and steady source of renewable energy. These dams were assessed for retrofitting with turbine to generate hydroelectricity and at the same time, to supply raw water to both water supply schemes. Despite the advantages of this dual function of the existing reservoirs schemes, this study however concludes infeasible tasks as only less than 1 MW of firm power can be harnessed. To reconfigure these existing infrastructures for purpose other than for the single purpose of water supply requires optimum storage capacity and hydraulic head, the two most important variables, in essence, especially for viable hydropower generation. In addition, the height of the dam dictates critically the magnitude of effective head but unfortunately unavailable readily for most of the existing dams evaluated in this Study. They are less than 60 m in height in general. The design philosophy for the reservoir schemes at their preliminary conceptualization also does not support future multipurpose components of the reservoir operation. However a positive development of these potential schemes could be beneficial to supply power to the local community in the surrounding areas in additional to plant consumption.

The AES algorithm is a symmetric block cipher that can encrypt, (encipher), and decrypt, (decipher), information. Encryption converts data to an unintelligible form called cipher-text. Decryption of the cipher-text converts the data back into its original form, which is called plaintext. The AES algorithm is capable of using cryptographic keys of 128, 192, and 256 bits to encrypt and decrypt data in blocks of 128 bits. The National Institute of Standards and Technology, (NIST), solicited proposals for the Advanced Encryption Standard, (AES). The AES is a Federal Information Processing Standard, (FIPS), which is a cryptographic algorithm that is used to protect electronic data.

Combined granular activated carbon adsorption with membrane filtration for high strength wastewater treatment have been carried out. Raw oleo-chemical wastewater and leachate were used as sample. Ultrafiltration is also relatively low cost, easy to backwash and operates up to 3 barg. Experiment was carried out by passing through the sample to an adsorption column for 10 minutes followed by membrane filtration at different transmembrane pressure of 1, 2 and 3 barg. Oleo-chemical samples were analysed for chemical oxygen demand, turbidity, suspended solid and leachate samples were analysed for chemical oxygen demand and ammonia nitrogen according to APHA method. Results showed that the best chemical oxygen demand, suspended solids and turbidity removal for oleo-chemical samples achieved at 2 bar with 64%, 93% and 97%, respectively. Leachate showed the best removal of chemical oxygen demand and ammonia nitrogen achieved at 3 bar, with 76% and 87%, respectively. The adsorption process combined with membrane filtration is feasible as an alternative for conventional biological treatment for high strength wastewater. However, GAC exhaustive breakthrough point requires monitoring.

The performance of solar photovoltaic systems can be improved if solar modules are kept perpendicular to the direction of solar radiation. Therefore, an accurate solar tracker system is important to continuously orientate solar modules to be always perpendicular to the solar radiation throughout the day. This paper presents the development and testing of a selfadjusting single-axis solar tracking system using two photovoltaic cells as photosensors. A prototype of the single-axis solar tracking system is built and tested based on continuous tracking method to the sun’s position throughout the day. An Arduino UNO microcontroller, a servo motor, and photovoltaic cells are selected as the components of the prototype. As this is an active tracking system, the orientation of the tracker receiver surface depends on the feedback received from the photosensors. Outdoor tests were carried out under clear skies at Kota Damansara, Malaysia (3.1467512 N, 101.5740615 E). The tracking inaccuracy is less than 5% with the maximum being 4.12%.

Palm oil mill effluent (POME) is highly organic loaded liquid waste in the palm oil industry. Membrane technology is preferred as the tertiary treatment due to the high removal efficiency and low space requirement. However, membrane fouling is the drawback of membrane technology, which increases the operational cost. Thus, the objective of this research is to improve the anti-fouling property of poly(vinylidene-fluoride) (PVDF) membrane by using nano - Fe3O4 as the additive. Nano - Fe3O4 was synthesized through chemical reduction method, and it was proved by the Energy Dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) spectrum. The nano iron oxide was added to the Poly(vinylidene-fluoride)/ Polyvinylpyrrolidone solution and cast into membranes. The hydrophilicity of nano - Fe3O4 modified the membrane surface and improved the antifouling property. This was proved by the lower contact angle of PVDF/ nano - Fe3O4 membranes (70.99°) compared to the neat membrane (77.13o ). PVDF/ nano - Fe3O4 membranes exhibited better separation performance compared to the neat membrane, especially in BOD removal. PVDF/nano iron oxide membrane removed 94.73% of BOD while 88.67% BOD was removed by the neat membrane. At the same time, the membranes exhibited consistent COD and TSS removal in the first 5 cycles in treating POME. A slight reduction in BOD removal was observed from the first cycle to the fifth cycle suggested the use of other membrane cleaning method is required to remove the foulants. In conclusion, nano - Fe3O4 improved the anti-fouling property of PVDF membrane, and a comprehensive 12 study on membrane cleaning shall be conducted in the near future for sustainable use.

This paper presents a Reconfigurable Stacked Patch Microstrip Antenna (RSPMA) uses a combination of aperture coupled technique and stacked patch technology for reducing feigned radiation patterns. This RSPMA consists of three FR-4 substrate layers with 4.7 mm thickness each and 3 mm thick of an air-filled substrate between stacked patches and the ground plane. The top patches are rectangular shaped with a T-shaped hole at the center and the bottom patches are T-shaped, both etched on top of substrate 1 and substrate 2 respectively act as a radiating element. Two H-shape designs of aperture slots of different sizes on the ground plane are positioned at the center of the ground plane with reference to the top patches and bottom patches. A copper strip is used as an ideal RF switch is implemented at the feed line network for the ON and OFF mode. Thus, by adjusting the switch mode, the resonance frequencies can be varied, thus frequency reconfigurable is achieved. The activation of the selected aperture slots will produce waves and radiates the signal to the radiating layers of the patch antenna. Hence, two different frequencies, either at 1.8 GHz or 2.3 GHz were achieved through the RSPMA with the gain of 3.691 dB and 2.291 dB, respectively. The antenna designed was simulated using CST Microwave Studio at an operating frequency of 1 GHz to 2.7 GHz. The RSPMA is said to be potentially beneficial to the wireless communication system.
