Predicting future link in social network
Authors: Kadam Sangeeta , Bhattacharya Riju
Published: May 2022

A social network can have many different types of links or margins between nodes. Those, for example, could be social contacts, major contacts, or calls. Link Prediction is the problem of predicting edges that may not be present in a given or present time, but that have not yet been discovered and may occur in the near future. We are developing predictive linking methods based on step-by-step analysis of network nodes. Consider a network of collaborative writing among scientists, e.g. The two scientists closest to the network will have similar colleagues, so they may be working together soon. Our goal is to make this accurate idea more accurate and to understand what steps to take to approach the network that lead to the most accurate prediction of a link. Link prediction algorithms can be divided into three categories: Node Neighborhood Mode, Mode-based Mode, and Meta Mode. The node location method is based on network location features, which focuses mainly on the node structure (i.e., based on the number of common friends shared by two users). Local-based measures are: general neighborhood, Jaccard Coefficient, Adamic/Adar, and preferred attachments. P

Published: May 2022

Background: Acute liver failure (ALF) is a rare syndrome, characterized by acute derangement of liver function and carries a high mortality. Indeterminate ALF still forms a significant number of cases in India as well as in the world. A prospective case-control study was carried to determine the effect of N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) on the survival of indeterminate ALF patients. Methods: A total of 30 patients with a diagnosis of indeterminate ALF were included in the study. 14 patients received NAC infusion for 72hrs whereas 16 patients in the control group received placebo. The parameters evaluated were demographic, clinical, biochemical, outcome, and length of hospital stay.Results: The two groups were comparable for the various baseline characteristics (demographic, clinical, biochemical, etc.). A total of 18 of 30 (60%) patients died with ALF complications; 6 (42.8%) patients belonged to NAC group and 12 (75%) patients to Control group (P = 0.077). The overall survival was not improved by NAC in indeterminate ALF. The use of NAC also did not reduce the duration of hospital stay of surviving patients (P = 0.409). Conclusion: The overall survival was not improved by NAC in indeterminate ALF. NAC administration did not reduce the dura­tion of hospital stay.

Authors: Singh Gurtej
Published: May 2022

The five-membered heterocyclic group of pyrazoles/pyrazolines plays important role in drug discovery. Pyrazoles and pyrazolines present a wide range of biological activities. The synthesis of the pyrazolines and pyrazole derivatives was accomplished via the condensation of the appropriate substituted aldehydes and acetophenones, suitable chalcones and hydrazine hydrate in absolute ethanol in the presence of drops of glacial acetic acid. The compounds are obtained in good yields 68–99% and their structure was confirmed using IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR and elemental analysis. The novel derivatives were studied in vitro for their antioxidant, anti-lipid peroxidation (AAPH) activities and inhibitory activity of lipoxygenase. Both classes strongly inhibit lipid peroxidation. Compound 2g was the most potent lipoxygenase inhibitor (IC50 = 80 µM.) The inhibition of the carrageenin-induced paw edema (CPE) and nociception was also determined, with compounds 2d and 2e being the most potent. Compound 2e inhibited nociception higher than 2d. Pyrazoline 2d was found to be active in a preliminary test, for the investigation of anti-adjuvant-induced disease (AID) activity. Pyrazoline derivatives were found to be more potent than pyrazoles.

Authors: Anggraheni Dini
Published: May 2022

This study examines how multiculturalism has been theorized, implemented, and utilized in Indonesia as a policy, discourse, and practice. The post-Suharto (the 2nd President of Indonesia) democratic process has created fresh room for formerly suppressed identities to be expressed. While much of the research on multiculturalism concentrates on racial and ethnic differences, this article attempts to widen the term's definition to encompass religious differences, as well as assess the feasibility of "religious multiculturalism", especially in Indonesia. It responds to the following concerns: What are the perspectives on multiculturalism? What are the differences between multiculturalism and pluralism? How is diversity perceived and also implemented? What distinguishes the Western concept of multiculturalism from Indonesian concepts of variety, unity in diversity, and heterogeneity? This study uses qualitative research using library research and several scholars were used to enrich this study.
Identification of Environmental Buffer Areas in Urbanized Catchments Based on Synthetic Ecosystem Functions
Authors: Céliz Yuliana
Published: May 2022

The Saldan river basin in the northwest of the metropolitan area of Córdoba, Argentina, was defined as a unit for the observation of ecosystem services of water regulation. The capacity of the system to retain excess rainfall through vegetation in areas with slopes was analyzed. The observation area was a wildland-urban interface. From there, a model capable of synthesizing the behavior of the most relevant variables in the event of an extraordinary rainfall event was adjusted. The result was the definition of buffer areas or exosystemic protection in the interface. The testing and adjustment of this model defined a REP indicator that was proposed as an input in the planning of the sector. For validation, soil moisture permanence values from LWI were used. The derivative was calculated for each pixel value in the basin, for both dry and wet periods, and the areas with the lowest loss in both periods were compared with those with the highest retention obtained in the model. The zones identified by both methods show great similarities.

Integrating Informal Learning into Deployment Planning and Project Scheduling
Authors: Jahr Michael , Mynarek Felix
Published: May 2022

Dynamic organizations constantly search for new ways to improve the quality of their processes. A core element of these efforts is the integration of informal learning into daily workflows. Interdisciplinary research is required to accomplish this challenging task and make informal learning manageable. In this study, we propose a novel combination of organizational theory and operational research using a quantitative project scheduling approach to create efficient workflows, including systematized informal learning. The concept of integrating the informal learning activities of knowledge sharing, reflection, and self-organization is presented based on a multi-objective, multi-resource constrained project scheduling problem with limited renewable resources, activity splitting, and preemption. Additional simulation studies demonstrate the calculation of informal learning ratios, together with further discussion of strategic management options.

Published: May 2022

The pandemic crisis caused by the COVID-19 coronavirus in early 2020 resulted in a series of rapid developments in all areas of political, economic, social and technological life in every country and society, on a global level. The European Commission has announced the Next Generation recovery plan, with a budget of 750 billion euros for the period 2021-2027. The main scope for European Union is to create a greener, more digital and ultimately sustainable Europe, with increased resilience even in future crises. At the same time, energy is seen as vital for the development and prosperity of every country and society, let alone in today's era of interconnection, high technology and globalization. In this study, both secondary research as well as primary qualitative research took place with personal in-depth interviews with experts, such as academics, politicians and enterpreneurs, all of them considered as stakeholders in issues related to the “green” energy. The overall study produces useful conclusions and suggestions that can contribute to a better understanding of green energy and its economic and social impact on society. The new green deal seems to be a first-class opportunity for the radical restructuring of the European economy and the strengthening of institutions through a more dynamic, sustainable, green growth model that is expected to further shield society and the country from a new upcoming crisis which is likely to occur sooner and more ambitiously, according to what is happening in the global environment.

Dampak nyata dari pandemi COVID-19 di Indonesia adalah terpukulnya perekonomian, terutama Usaha Mikro, Kecil dan Menengah (UMKM). Refleksi ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis transformasi bisnis yang terjadi sehingga UMKM mampu mampu bertahan pada masa krisis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa UMKM mengalami transformasi bisnis dalam sektor produksi, permodalan, pemasaran, dan lini usaha. Tak dapat dimungkiri betapa UMKM membutuhkan bantuan finansial maupun teknis. Dibutuhkan pula rekayasa lingkungan usaha untuk memulihkan bisnis tersebut secara berkelanjutan. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dan merupakan penelitian yang berisfat refleksi yang dilakukan dengan studi pustaka. Hasil penelitian BUMN atau kerjasama BUMN dengan swasta dapat menjadi alternatif model bisnis untuk meningkatkan logistik UMKM. Upaya pemasaran digital tidak menutup kemungkinan perluasan pasar offline. Sinergi dengan BUMN dapat ditempuh dengan memanfaatkan ruang-ruang yang tersedia di fasilitas umum seperti bandara, rest area, pelabuhan, dan terminal bus sebagai ruang pamer produk- produk UMKM. Ketentuan khusus juga dapat diberikan untuk ruang pameran produk UMKM di pusat perbelanjaan. Membangun kemitraan dengan pelaku usaha besar juga merupakan bentuk perluasan pasar produk UMKM. Perlu adanya pedoman dalam perjanjian kemitraan untuk mencegah penyalahgunaan kekuatan pasar oleh pelaku usaha besar.

Evapotranspiration of wheat crop was estimated using different methods viz. lysimeter, USDA Open pan evaporimeter, empirical methods, combination approach and soil water evaporation model. The field experiment was conducted during rabi 2006-07 and 2007-08 with two weighing type lysimeters located at the research farm, Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana. Among different methods of ET estimation, Papadakis method computed highest rate of PET followed by Hamon and modified Penman method whereas modified soil evaporation model, Thornthwaite, Blaney-Criddle and Stephans & Stewart methods produced lower values of PET as compared to lysimeter ET and open pan evaporation. Modified Jensen & Haise method estimated PET values (346 and 361 mm) closest to lysimeter ET (340 and 341 mm) and open pan evaporation (360 and 432 mm) respectively, for two seasons. PET computed by Blaney-Criddle method showed very good correlation with Lysimeter ET (0.90).

The present study was conducted to calibrate and predict the growth and yield of Brassica juncea under semiarid environment of Delhi region using InfoCrop model. Field experiments were carried out with the variety Pusa Jaikisan (most popularly grown in north western parts of India), sown on 15th and 30th October of rabi, 2005-06 and 2006-07 on sandy clay loam textured soils at research farm of Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI), New Delhi. The base temperature at different phenological stages was taken as 50C. The thermal time from germination to flowering was calibrated to 7300D. Crop growth parameters like leaf area index (LAI), biomass and seed yield were simulated using InfoCrop model. The model overestimated LAI and biomass at the initial crop growth stages but underestimated at the peak/maximum level. The model overestimated the seed yield for both the sowings and the seasons. Actual seed yield was of the order of 23 to 37 q ha-1 while the simulated yield was of the order of 37 to42 q ha-1 with a RMSE value of 3.14 indicating significant differences between observed and simulated yield. The model needs further refinement.

Published: May 2022

Efforts were made for utilization of ICT to develop suitable agrometeorological model for rice yield predictionin Bulsar district of Gujarat. Six weather variables viz. bright sunshine hours (X1), rainfall (X2), maximum temperature (X3), minimum temperature (X4), morning relative humidity (X5) and afternoon relative humidity (X6) were analyzed for the crop weather relationship to develop regression models. Five approaches were used for fitting of the models i.e. week wise, stage wise, period wise, week number as weight and correlation coefficient as weight.

The sowing of rice is mainly concentrated around the second week of June in Gujarat. Hence, the data pertaining to weather parameters for the period 23rd to 42nd meteorological standard weeks (MSW) were included in the present investigation. Four out of the five approaches, which were used for fitting the models, models fitted with stage wise, period wise, week number as weight and correlation coefficient as weight approaches could not be identified as acceptable models. Only one, 18 week model fitted with week wise approach which provided earlier rice yield prediction (2 weeks before harvest) and explained higher variation in rice yield (Adjusted R2 = 99.8%) is preferred.
