Fully prime double-framed soft ordered semigroups
Authors: Asif Tauseef , Asghar Khan  , Jian Tang
Published: February 2020

It is well known that semigroups are basic structures in many applied branches like automata and formal languages, coding theory, finite state machines and others. Due to these possibilities of applications, semigroups and related structures are presently extensively investigated in soft theoretic (and in fuzzy theoretic) settings. The aim of this paper, is to introduce the concepts of double-framed soft ideals (briefly, DFS ideals) over an initial universe set U. The basic characterizations of this notion are studied. Different classes of ordered semigroups are characterized by using the notions of DFS l- and r-ideals over U. The notions of prime, and irreducible double-framed soft ideals (briefly, prime and irreducible DFS ideals) over U, are investigated and the related properties are highlighted. The class of those ordered semigroups for which each DFS ideal over U is prime are studied and the relationship between prime and irreducible DFS ideals are discussed.
Investigating Lecturers Perception of Barriers to Effective Utilization of Information and Communication Technology In Colleges of Education in North Eastern Nigeria
Authors: Babate Alhaji Idi , Bege Aliyu Abubakar
Published: February 2020

this research proposal,  have outlined the need for research and development initiative in the area of Utilization of Information and Communication Technology in Education. This need is consistent with growing concern by all stakeholders in education that the condition of ICT in teaching and learning is internationally unacceptable. However, despite concerted efforts by the FGN/MDGs and other non-governmental organizations through re-training and training the trainers of ICT and its uses by teachers in education, we have not seen significant improvement in the area of Information and Communication Technology teaching and learning, by our teachers in Colleges of Education. This lack of noticeable improvement might be due to the lack of clear understanding of the current status of our teacher's knowledge and Technological Pedagogical knowledge content on one hand, and the lack of access and technical support by our institutions on the other hand before designing such interventions. Therefore, the aim of this research project is to collect and analyze baseline data that would guide us and others in the subsequent design of interventions for improving the role-playing ground of lecturers on the use of ICT facilities in the teaching process in Colleges of Education of the North Eastern States. In this research proposal, we have outlined the need for research and development initiative in the area of Utilization of Information and Communication Technology in Education.

Use of an Internal Retractor for Percutaneous Full-Endoscopic Resection in Cervical Intervertebral Disc Herniation with a Posterior Approach
Authors: Nakamura Shu , Taguchi Mitsuto
Published: February 2020

Study Design: A preliminary case series study.Purpose: For the safety of performing a posterior percutaneous full-endoscopic cervical discectomy.Overview of Literature: Because of the lack of space for inserting an outer sheath above the intervertebral disc in the spinal canal, grasping the herniated disc with forceps while retracting the nerves with the forceps itself was required. This procedure produces the risk of inadvertently injuring nerves because of inadequate visualization of the hernia and inadequate protection of the nerve.Methods: Our new internal retractor can be inserted into the working channel of a percutaneous full-endoscope, enabling the insertion of a second tool. After partial foraminotomy, the internal retractor and forceps were manipulated to reliably retract the nerve root. Finally, the herniated disc was resected under an endoscopic view.Results: All six cases had a good postoperative course, and postoperative neuropathy was not observed.Conclusions: This internal retractor allows for the secure resection herniated cervical intervertebral discs.

Strategic Role of Zakat in Multidimensional Quality of Life in Sijunjung, Indonesia
Authors: Hamimi Herlin , Ismail Abdul Ghafar , Zaenal Muhammad Hasbi
Published: February 2020

Zakat is one of the five pillars of Islam which has a function of faith, social and economic functions. Muslims who can pay zakat are required to give at least 2.5 per cent of their wealth. The problem of poverty prevalent in disadvantaged regions because of the difficulty of access to information and communication led to a gap that is so high in wealth and resources. The instrument of zakat provides a paradigm in the achievement of equitable wealth distribution and healthy circulation. Zakat potentially offers a better life and improves the quality of human being. There is a human quality improvement not only in economic terms but also in spiritual terms such as improving religiousity. This study aims to examine the role of zakat to alleviate humanitarian issues in disadvantaged regions such as Sijunjung, one of zakat beneficiaries and impoverished areas in Indonesia. The researcher attempted a Cibest method to capture the impact of zakat beneficiaries before and after becoming a member of Zakat Community Development (ZCD) Program in material and spiritual value. The overall analysis shows that zakat has a positive impact on disadvantaged regions development and enhance the quality of life of the community. There is an improvement in the average of mustahik household incomes after becoming a member of ZCD Program. Cibest model demonstrates that material, spiritual, and absolute poverty index decreased by 10, 5, and 6 per cent. Meanwhile, the welfare index is increased by 21 per cent. These findings have significant implications for developing the quality of life in disadvantaged regions in Sijunjung. Therefore, zakat is one of the instruments to change the status of disadvantaged areas to be equivalent to other areas.

Published: February 2020

The issue of unpayable educational loan that lead to student’s defaults has become a worrying trend all over the world. This research aims to examine the relationship of anxiety, parental influence, media awareness, and religiosity on student’s perception on educational loan repayment. A survey approach has been adopted to investigate student’s perception on educational loan repayment in Universiti Utara Malaysia. The data for this study were collected via structured questionnaires which were completed by 359 undergraduate Muslim’s students who acquire their financial loan from National Higher Education Fund Corporation (NHEFC). The data were then quantitatively analyzed using SPSS program. The findings of Pearson’s correlation showed a positive correlation between student’s perception towards educational loan repayment and religiosity, parental influence, media awareness, and anxiety. Further analysis using a multiple regression indicated that all independent variables explained 32.9 per cent of student’s perception on educational loan repayment. The result again indicated that religiosity and parent’s influence are most influential factors on student’s perception towards educational loan repayment. Whilst, media awareness slightly contributed to student’s perception towards educational loan repayment and anxiety gave no impact. The result implied that the Ministry of Education may design the syllabus in school and university curricular by adding the value of responsibility in loan repayment especially in religious and moral subjects. Besides, the Ministry Education of Malaysia are also urged to use media to disseminate the information regarding the importance for students to make loan repayment to parents as well as students. The collection of student loan then can be used for the next generation in financing their study which could result the prosperity of nation.
Determinants of Corporate Risk Disclosure Practice: The Case of Islamic Banks in Gulf Cooperation Council Region
Authors: Srairi Samir
Published: February 2020

The paper develops a framework to explore the risk disclosure practices of 29 Islamic banks operating in the Gulf Cooperation Council countries over the period of 2013-2016 and examines the potential factors which might be affecting risk disclosure. To analyze the level of risk disclosure, the paper develops a composite index by using the content analysis technique. We also employ OLS technique to examine factors affecting Islamic banks’ risk disclosure. The results indicate a very high difference in risk disclosure between countries. Only two countries, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, have a higher level of risk disclosure. The findings also suggest that reporting on some risk disclosure types especially displaced commercial risk and rate of return risk is very low. The regression results show that Islamic banks with a stronger set of corporate governance mechanisms and an active Shariah board appear to disclose more risk information. Other factors that influence risk disclosure practices of Islamic banks are bank size, leverage, cross-border listings and the level of political and civil regression. The study recommends that Islamic banks have to revise their communication strategies and provide more risk information related to rate of return risk and display commercial risk. In addition, GCC regulators should establish risk disclosure regulations which have to become mandatory for all Islamic banks. To the best of our knowledge, the paper provides the first analysis related to the determinants of corporate risk disclosures of Islamic banks in the Arab Gulf region.

Published: February 2020

Pendapatan tidak patuh Syariah merupakan istilah baharu dalam kontek sistem kewangan dan perbankan Islam di Malaysia. Pendapatan tidak patuh Syariah merujuk kepada apa-apa jenis harta yang diperolehi hasil daripada transaksi yang bertentangan dengan syariat Islam seperti riba, judi dan rasuah, atau kerana percampuran antara aktiviti yang dibenarkan oleh syarak dengan yang sebaliknya. Sesuatu isu Syariah yang dilaporkan akan melalui beberapa proses sebelum ianya disahkan sebagai tidak patuh Syariah sebenar atau sebaliknya oleh Jawatankuasa Syariah institusi kewangan Islam (IKI). Sekiranya isu yang dilapor dan disahkan sebagai tidak patuh Syariah yang sebenar oleh Jawatankuasa Syariah serta melibatkan kerugian kewangan, IKI perlu menyalurkan pendapatan tersebut kepada badan-badan kebajikan untuk kegunaan umum. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji kaedah pelaporan, kejadian, pendapatan serta pengurusan pendapatan tidak patuh Syariah di Bank Muamalat Malaysia Berhad (BMMB). Data kajian diperoleh daripada sumber primer seperti wawancara dengan pegawai BMMB. Di samping itu, dokumen polisi Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) turut digunakan sebagai garis panduan utama yang menjadi penanda aras dalam menentukan sesuatu kejadian tidak patuh Syariah.
Analytically Determining Bond Shear Strength of Fully Grouted Rock Bolt Based on Pullout Test Results
Authors: Hazrati Aghchai Mousa , Maarefvand Parviz , Salari Rad Hossien
Published: February 2020

Usually, in a fully grouted rock bolt pullout test the load-displacement curve of the rock bolt head is recorded. This paper presents an analytical method to use this curve for determining the bond (bolt-grout and grout-rock interface) shear strength parameters. For this purpose, the fully grouted rock bolt interaction with grout and surrounding rock in the pullout test is investigated and the load-displacement curve of the bolt head (beginning of the bonded section) is obtained analytically. For modeling the bolt-grout interface behavior a distribution of the shear stress along the fully grouted rock bolt by consideration of bolt shank failure is used. In this regard, different stages including complete bonding, partial decoupling, decoupling with the residual shear strength and complete decoupling are considered. With increasing the applied load, two possible cases involving the rock bolt complete pullout and bolt shank yielding are taken into account. Based on the presented analytical method, the obtained bolt head load-displacement curve can be compared with the one recorded in the pullout test. With this, the relevance of selected shear strength parameters compared to real parameters can be assessed. A flowchart for determining the bolt bond shear strength parameters is presented using the trial and error method (coded in Matlab). The proposed solution is used to determine two experimental pullout shear strength parameters. The results show good agreement between predicted and calculated load-displacement curves.
The Icesave Dispute: A Case Study into the Crisis of Diplomacy during the Credit Crunch
Authors: Bergmann Eiríkur
Published: February 2020

The Icesave dispute Iceland fought with governments of the UK and the Netherlands revealed inherent weaknesses in the European financial system. Bringing forward tensions between public and private law and falling outside the framework of traditionally neatly compartmentalized law the ambiguity of responsibilities was testing understandings and interpretations of international relations. The paper explores how larger and more powerful countries were politically able to pressure a much smaller state in time of crisis into abiding to their own interpretation of international law and in doing so rallying behind them support of international organizations like the EU and the IMF. In January 2013 the EFTA Court finally ruled on the issue, vindicating Iceland of wrongdoing and refusing the UK’s, the Netherland’s and the EU’s claims. Studying the Icesave dispute contributes to understandings of production of international legality trough practices and contested interpretations in the international realm.

Human Rights Education for Lawyers: A Case Study into Universality and Its Relativism
Authors: Ulyashyna Liudmila
Published: February 2020

Normative universality in the international human rights law shall be rooted into national legal contexts for its effective implementation. Human Rights training for lawyers ensures that lawyers receive appropriate education for the practical application of the principle of universality. The case study shows that learners often lack the knowledge of the peculiarities of international human rights law, which differ from the ”classical” public law notions. Human rights training curricula should include topics, which form lawyers’ understanding of international and national legal regimes in their interdependency. Concepts of ”International Human Rights Standards”, ”Implementation and de facto implementation”, ”Status and Role of Individual/Human Rights Defender” being delivered to learners increase their knowledge and awareness of the direct applicability of international human rights norms and make them effective actors of the two-way process facilitating “a cross-fertilization” between national law and international human rights standards.
Brexit Coup d’Etat: Tracking the Overthrow of EU Rule of Law in Britain
Authors: McMurtry John
Published: February 2020

This analysis was researched and written days before the snap June 8 UK election which, it explains, would lock in the electoral minority of the ‘Brexit referendum’ with no public understanding of the immense historical stakes and dominant powers involved behind the political scenes. Least of all has been recognised that the hard Brexit led by the now minority-government Tories entails massive de-regulation of the most powerful transnational private financial and agri-food interests in the UK and the EU. Yet no sooner had I completed the body of the following analysis than the London terror attack struck on Saturday night June 3, with PM Theresa May pointing accusing those who sought causal understanding of the terrorist attacks as showing “far too much tolerance”. The first pages of the analysis below bring this pre-election turn of events into explanation of the slow-motion ‘Brexit coup’ that continues today before it is fully understood. While the June 8 2017 election turned against the Tory-May government as anticipated by the article, the global struggle for life-protective law still remains under more systemic threat than since 1945.

Published: February 2020

A lot of identical bands are known at present in the Normal Deformed (ND) region. In our study of the occurrence and properties of identical bands in Super-Deformed (SD) nuclei we first applied the modified Variable Moment of Inertia (VMI) model to extract the band-head spin of Super-Deformed bands. The calculated transition energies, level spins and dynamic moment of inertia are systematically examined. Then, in the framework of theoretical model several identical bands are identified. The kinematic and dynamic moment of inertia have been calculated for the six pairs of Super-Deformed Identical Bands (SDIBs) which was not reported earlier in the literature. Thus, the results are significant. In all the cases J(2) is significantly higher than J(1) over a large range of frequency.
Fostering Student Sensitivity to Diversity and Inclusion in Today’s Classroom

Engaging diversity and fostering inclusion – across various dimensions (nationality-ethnicity, age, sex, gender, sexual orientation, religion, and socioeconomic development, among others) – are critical to the teaching goals of the two co-presenters of this Inclusive Classroom Track proposal. The authors are comparativist political scientists who engage issues of diversity and inclusion in different -- yet interconnected-- ways. One of us uses an early-in-the-semester task, drawing upon personality types (Myers-Briggs Test Indicator) and a policy task (enhancing inclusion of Native Americans into the American societal mainstream), to sensitize his students to diversity at the most basic level. The other of us develops a collaborative classroom experience that spans students in the U.S. and Ukraine. Drawing on the "Global Classrooms" program, he is able to foster international interaction and collaboration in tackling group-level diversity and cross-national acceptance. Our combined efforts are intended to foster enhanced student sensitivity to diversity and inclusion.

From brick-and-mortar stores to omnichannel retail, the efficient selection of products to be displayed on store tables, advertising brochures, or online front pages has become a critical issue. One possible goal is to maximize the overall ‘attractiveness’ level of the displayed items, i.e., to enhance the shopping experience of our potential customers as a way to increase sales and revenue. With the goal of maximizing the total attractiveness value for the visiting customers over a multi-period time horizon, this paper studies how to configure an assortment of products to be included in limited display spaces, either physical or online. In order to define a realistic scenario, several constraints are considered for each period and display table: (i) the inclusion of both expensive and non-expensive products on the display tables; (ii) the diversification of product collections; and (iii) the achievement of a minimum profit margin. Moreover, the attractiveness level of each product is assumed to be dynamic, i.e., it is reduced if the product has been displayed in a previous period (loss of novelty) and vice versa. This generates dependencies across periods. Likewise, correlations across items are also considered to account for complementary or substitute products. In the case of brick-and-mortar stores, for instance, solving this rich multi-period product display problem enables them to provide an exciting experience to their customers. As a consequence, an increase in sales revenue should be expected. In order to deal with the underlying optimization problem, which contains a quadratic objective function in its simplest version and a non-smooth one in its complete version, two biased-randomized metaheuristic algorithms are proposed. A set of new instances has been generated to test our approach and compare its performance with that of non-linear solvers.
Seeing the Dog: Naturalistic Canine Representations from Greek Art
Authors: Kitchell Kenneth F.
Published: February 2020

This study attempts to demonstrate that ancient Greek authors and vase painters (mostly of the late sixth and early fifth centuries) were well attuned to the many bodily gestures and positions exhibited by dogs in real life and utilized this knowledge in producing their works. Once this is clear, it becomes evident that the Greek public at large was equally aware of such canine bodily gestures and positions. This extends the seminal work on gestures of Boegehold and Lateiner to the animal world and seeks also to serve as a call for further study of similar animals throughout ancient Greek times.
Balance Training with Electromyogram-Triggered Functional Electrical Stimulation in the Rehabilitation of Stroke Patients
Authors: Lee Kyeongjin
Published: February 2020

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of balance training with electromyogram-triggered functional electrical stimulation (EMG-triggered FES) to improve static balance, dynamic balance, and ankle muscle activation in stroke patients. Forty-nine participants (>6 months after stroke) were randomly assigned to the experimental group (n = 25) and the control group (n = 24). The experimental group underwent balance training with EMG-triggered FES for 40 min a day, 5 days a week, for a 6-week period in addition to general rehabilitation. The control group underwent balance training without EMG-triggered FES along with conventional therapy. Outcome measures included static balance ability, dynamic balance ability, and leg muscle activation. The static and dynamic balance abilities were significantly improved after intervention in both groups (p < 0.05), although the experimental group showed considerably greater improvement than the control group (p < 0.05). Leg muscle activation on the affected side resulted in significant improvements in the experimental group (p < 0.05) when compared with baseline but not in the control group. Balance training with EMG-triggered FES is an acceptable and effective intervention to improve the static balance, dynamic balance, and ankle muscle activation in stroke patients.

Authors: Zhu Yinghuai , Bai Zhiyu
Published: February 2020

Sinomenine is a naturally occurring alkaloid and commonly used as one of the bioactive drug components in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treatment in the clinic. Varying supported palladium-based catalysts have been synthesized and examined as heterogeneous catalysts for catalytic extraction of sinomenine from Sinomenium acutum. Among various examined supported catalysts, Pd–Ce/ZIF-8 (zeolitic imidazolate framework-8) demonstrates promising catalytic activity in the extraction reaction with an improved yield of 2.15% under optimized conditions. The catalyst composite can be recovered by centrifuging, and reused. A total of three catalyst recycling processes were performed with constant activity. The catalyst Pd–Ce/ZIF-8 has a particle size range of 2–12 nm and a total Pd–Ce loading amount of 5.1 wt% (ZIF-8).
(Neg)Entropic Scenarios Affecting the Wicked Design Spaces of Knowledge Management Systems
Authors: Schmitt Ulrich
Published: February 2020

The envisioned embracing of thriving knowledge societies is increasingly compromised by threatening perceptions of information overload, attention poverty, opportunity divides, and career fears. This paper traces the roots of these symptoms back to causes of information entropy and structural holes, invisible private and undiscoverable public knowledge which characterize the sad state of our current knowledge management and creation practices. As part of an ongoing design science research and prototyping project, the article’s (neg)entropic perspectives complement a succession of prior multi-disciplinary publications. Looking forward, it proposes a novel decentralized generative knowledge management approach that prioritizes the capacity development of autonomous individual knowledge workers not at the expense of traditional organizational knowledge management systems but as a viable means to foster their fruitful co-evolution. The article, thus, informs relevant stakeholders about the current unsustainable status quo inhibiting knowledge workers; it presents viable remedial options (as a prerequisite for creating the respective future generative Knowledge Management (KM) reality) to afford a sustainable solution with the generative potential to evolve into a prospective general-purpose technology.
Artificial Learning Dispatch Planning with Probabilistic Forecasts: Using Uncertainties as an Asset

Published: February 2020

Weather forecast uncertainty is a key element for energy market volatility. By intelligently considering uncertainties on the schedule development, renewable energy systems with storage could improve dispatching accuracy, and therefore, effectively participate in electricity wholesale markets. Deterministic forecasts have been traditionally used to support dispatch planning, representing reduced or no uncertainty information about the future weather. Aiming at better representing the uncertainties involved, probabilistic forecasts have been developed to increase forecasting accuracy. For the dispatch planning, this can highly influence the development of a more precise schedule. This work extends a dispatch planning method to the use of probabilistic weather forecasts. The underlying method used a schedule optimizer coupled to a post-processing machine learning algorithm. This machine learning algorithm was adapted to include probabilistic forecasts, considering their additional information on uncertainties. This post-processing applied a calibration of the planned schedule considering the knowledge about uncertainties obtained from similar past situations. Simulations performed with a concentrated solar power plant model following the proposed strategy demonstrated promising financial improvement and relevant potential in dealing with uncertainties. Results especially show that information included in probabilistic forecasts can increase financial revenues up to 15% (in comparison to a persistence solar driven approach) if processed in a suitable way.
