Active multi-mode interferometer semiconductor optical amplifier on quantum dots toward high saturated output power under high temperature
Authors: Fan Zhiyuan , Hinokuma Yasuhiro , Jiang Haisong , Hamamoto Kiichi
Published: April 2022

A semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) is wildly used as gain media in a photonic integrated circuit, as it is integrable with various devices, including wavelength filter, on the same wafer. Quantum dots (QD) have been known to realize high-temperature operation without using a thermo-cooler, the saturated output power was not high due to the limited density of state in QD. To realize high saturated output power under high temperatures, we have exploited the active multi-mode interferometer (active-MMI) configuration on QD SOA. We fabricated active-MMI SOA using a 1.31 μm InAs/GaAs QD active layer with the design of approximately 5 times larger footprint compared to a single stripe, whereas it holds regular single transverse mode output. As a result, a significant improvement of 15 dB saturated output power at 75 °C was substantiated successfully.

Loss-Separation Strategy to Improve Efficiency of Wireless High-Power Transfer Systems in Weak-Coupling Conditions
Authors: The Hoach Nguyen
Published: April 2022

This paper proposes a loss-separation strategy to improve efficiency of inductive wireless high-power transfer systems (WPTs) in weak-coupling conditions. Wireless power transfer efficiency of inductive systems significantly reduces under weak-coupling states due to the increased losses associated with low mutual inductance. To overcome the challenge, this paper proposes a strategy to separate primary loss components from each other and from the weak-coupling stage. In the proposed strategy, a gyrator in form of a double-resonance T-block is added just before the weak-coupling stage to improve the overall efficiency. Then the strategy is realized by various topologies such as compensating circuits, added coils, isolated transformers, and integrated-/split- inductors/coils. Comparative analyses of the topologies are presented by considering practical aspects including component designs, power flows, transfer efficiency, resonance frequency shifting, and optimal loads. The comparative experiments show an efficiency increment of about four percent for the case with a coupling factor of 0.1. The proposed strategy offers suggestions for industrial designs of high-power wireless battery charging systems using resonant inductive coils.

Knowing how to treat people successfully depends upon understanding them and understanding oneself. Despite research a complete understanding of both factors is not possible so far. Managers have difficulty in assessing employees’ behaviour, while employees often see managers’ behaviour as amusing or insensitive. On a global level, lack of understanding causes wars, hatred and tension.

Some Visual and Cinematic Qualities in Thomas Hardy’s Novels: A Short Survey
Authors: Ghosh Dr Oindrila
Published: April 2022

Thomas Hardy’s visual imagination, his eye for colours, play of light and shade and the sweep from the vast spaces to the finite human world is present in every page of his novels, which makes his novels so easily transformable into movies. His developing interest and fascination for painting and the visual arts which enriched his mode of writing fiction and also provided a different dimension to the reader to be able to read his novel in more innovative and experimental modes. Hardy’s love for rural England and his rarified and fictionalized setting for his novels – Wessex – and his depiction of the customs, folklores and colours of a rustic world rapidly transforming at the advent of industrialization finds life in his pictorial mode of descriptions. His novels are like moving pictures enacted in the mind of the reader and therefore film adaptations borrow heavily from these pictorial aspects of his novels, which accounts for the popularity of his novels with film makers across the globe.
Management of Workplace Conflict
Authors: Shonhiwa Dr. Caxton
Published: April 2022

In order to survive, an organisation must focus its efforts on generating revenue in the face of competition. Sometimes the need to focus on beating the competition can get derailed by internal organizational conflict. In order to keep your employees focused on being productive and bettering the competition, it is necessary to understand the causes of organizational conflict. Conflict, if not closely checked may be the cause of the downfall of an organisation. It is therefore very important that those in leadership or management positions should make sure that conflict is handled carefully so that employees concentrate on their jobs rather than on fights.
Managing Power Delivery in the Face of Extreme Weather Events
Authors: Mitchell Keisha A.
Published: April 2022

The number of extreme weather events that have affected the globe from hurricanes that devastated the Caribbean region and major coastal regions of the United States, to the lashing winds and rains that barreled down on the United Kingdom, have been record-breaking. The economic costs of these extreme weather events are staggering. For example, from the list of the top 20 hurricanes to affect the United States, experts estimated the combined economic costs into trillions of dollars. Hurricane Katrina was estimated at $300 billion, Harvey at $180 billion, Irma at $100 billion, Sandy at $71 billion, and Maria at $85 billion. These estimated figures are not just dollars lost in the damage done by the storm, but they also comprise other key components, including: disruption to business, unemployment periods lasting up to months, transportation and infrastructure damages, crop loss …, increased fuel prices, and property damages. This article explores the impact of several major hurricanes on the power supply systems during 2017. Besides the U.S. storms, Hurricane Ophelia also battered the United Kingdom. Of less frequency, but of great significance is the experience of a solar eclipse which resulted in the complete loss of the power to those relying on solar power, and a sudden and significant drop in atmospheric pressure? The importance of diversifying the power supply systems and boosting energy storage are highlighted as possible strategies for managing the effects of these increasingly extreme weather events on power supply systems.
Organisational Development (OD): A Systems Wide Change Strategy
Authors: Shonhiwa Dr. Caxton
Published: April 2022

Although the field of OD is broad, it can be differentiated from other systems of organizational change by its emphasis on process rather than problems. Indeed, traditional group change systems have focused on identifying problems in an organization and then trying to alter the behavior that creates the problem. OD initiatives focus on identifying the behavioral interactions and patterns that cause and sustain problems. Then, rather than simply changing isolated behaviours, the OD process aims at creating a behaviourally healthy organization that will naturally anticipate and prevent problems.

Haitian/Vilokan Idealism versus German Idealism
Authors: Mocombe Paul C.
Published: April 2022

Unlike German Idealism whose intellectual development from Kant to Schopenhauer, Hegel, Marx, Nietzsche, Husserl, Heidegger, and the Frankfurt school produced the dialectic, Marxist materialism, Nietzscheian antidialectics, phenomenology, and deontological ethics; Haitian Idealism produces phenomenology, materialism, and an antidialectical process to history enframed by a reciprocal justice as its normative ethics, which is constantly being invoked by individual social actors to reconcile the noumenal (sacred—ideational) and phenomenal (profane—material) subjective world in order to maintain balance and harmony between the two so that the human actors can live freely and happily in a material resource framework where they are the masters of their own existence without masters or owners of production. The originating moments of the Haitian Revolution and its call for total freedom and equality demonstrates the antidialectical and normative processes of Haitian idealism, while the creation of the phenomenal world of subjective experiences according to one’s capacity, modality, developmental stage (both spiritual, physical, and mental), and spiritual court is symptomatic of the phenomenological development in Haitian Idealism and its Vodou Ethic and spirit of communism and Lakou system as its form of social and system integration, respectively. This work explores the underlying distinction between German idealism and Haitian idealism as encapsulated in its culmination, i.e., the Lakou system.
The Politics of Attack through Gendered Hausa Proverbs
Authors: Usman Asabe Kabir
Published: April 2022

Proverb may be defined as “pieces of folk wisdom expressed with terseness and charm. The "terseness implies a certain economy in the choice of words and a sharpness of focus, while the "charm" conveys the touch of literary or poetic beauty in the expression”. Apart from giving insights into human behaviour and psychology, Hausa proverbs serve as mirrors of the cultural norms and values of the society. They are employed not only to entertain, educate, advice but most often to buttress a point, and to give an argument universal acceptability. Patriarchy as a social system which has been in existence over the centuries most often make certain that members of the opposite sex sustain conditioned behaviours toward one another. Varying views and expectations about masculinity and femininity have to a large extent affected the socio-cultural beliefs and attitudes of men and women in Hausa society. Gender proverbs in Hausa society are very common. They deal with among other things gender relations and the status the different sexes accord each other. This paper, therefore attempts an appraisal of gender based proverbs which have over time been used as tool of attack by the different sexes in Hausa society.
Theorizing Gender in Language and Gender Studies: A Reflection on Some Conceptualizations of Gender
Authors: Ibrahim Mika’il , Ahmed Umar
Published: April 2022

Gender was introduced as an object of study mainly by feminist researchers in the and 60s and 70s and since then, several works have offered, in varying degrees, insight into the concept of gender and the complex relationship it is assumed to have with language. In this paper, we examine some conceptualizations of gender, highlighting their major postulations, criticisms against them and their major contributions to research on language and gender. After reviewing the different theoretical perspectives on gender, we align with the social constructionist viewpoint because it offers a more productive way of viewing of, and analyzing gender than other approaches.

Common Perspectives of Integrated Skills Outreach Programme That Can Benefit both the Individuals and Communities
Authors: Magadzire Runyararo
Published: April 2022

The important field of TVET is an essential element in reducing rural poverty but has been put aside for many years by policy makers, donors and the private sector. On one side, this resulted in a general neglect which is evident in the lack of technical expertise and crafts people at all levels. On the other side, There is a multitude of training and capacity building initiatives that provide only short term solutions and cannot circumvent the larger problem of low levels of education and persistent illiteracy. Many of these initiatives might be well-intended, but often do not produce the results desired. There is a non-respect of basic principles of adult education and a lack of coordination between private and public providers. Too often training does not address the needs of target groups nor anticipate how the training skills will be set to use. The lack of attention to employability leads to a situation where a lot of resources are being wasted. The Integrated Skills Outreach Program is one such example of a TVET programme to the unskilled people.

Authors: Rajadurgamani R. , Muthubharathi R.
Published: April 2022

Fog computing that emerges as an important paradigm, describes decentralized computing architecture between cloud and devices. It includes potential challenges, such as increase in traffic overhead, since all requests are sent to the main server that causes delay, which cannot be tolerated in delay sensitive applications and the usage of inappropriate scheduling causes high power consumption in fog device. These challenges must be overcome by employing effective workload. In this paper, in order to find effective workload allocation based on power and delay tradeoff various scheduling algorithms like SJF (Shortest Job First), FCFS (First Come First Served) and RR (Round Robin) are implemented in fog device and its power and delay trade off are analyzed in fog computing subsystem.

Abstract

 

COVID-19 forced AMIKOM Purwokerto to convert its traditional classes to online learning. During this online learning, problems have started to unravel, and one of them is fatigue, which was confirmatively experienced by 55% students of Reading IV. This study, utilizing a quantitative research method, intended to find the causes of the fatigue and design practicable solutions. Through observations, group interview, and literature reviews, some main factors that caused fatigue were revealed: Zoom fatigue; tasks which were too difficult and numerous; presentation of materials which did not properly comply with the students’ online conditions and unfamiliarity to Google Classroom; eye fatigue (digital eye strain), bad postures during learning, lockdown fatigue, and frustration over signal and internet problems. To overcome the fatigue, the researchers reduced the time for video conferences and created asynchronous short videos for learning, selectively adjusted tasks in terms of number and difficulty, simplified presentations of materials and helped the students to become more familiar with Google Classroom, and addressed the problems from eye strain, bad postures, and lockdown fatigue in the reading materials so the students could solve those problems based on the texts given or find a more viable solution. Those solutions reduced the number of drained students to only 25% and in addition 60% students claimed that the modifications brought a positive impact on their learning.

In this 21st century teaching and learning, there is an intense debate involving language experts whether code-switching should be integrated into EFL learning contexts or not. The supporters of the L2 believed that intense training in the target language will enable EFL learners to be more proficient target language users. While the L1 experts allowed EFL teachers to apply their mother tongue while delivering the teaching-learning materials in order to deliver their teaching-learning instructions clearly for the learners. In line with this contradictory paradigm, EFL teachers need to implement the first language more judiciously in order to preserve learnersâ€™ first language and acquire their target language competencies fully. This study attempted to discover Elementary EFL teachersâ€™ perceptions of the use of code-switching in primary learning contexts. This study utilized narrative inquiry utilizing one research instrument, open-ended interview questions to discover Elementary EFL teachersâ€™ perceptions regarding the utilization of code-switching in primary learning contexts. The participants involving in this study were EFL teachers working in Demangan Baru 1 Elementary School, Yogyakarta. Findings from this study revealed that code-switching did not only help EFL teachers to deliver particular learning materials clearly but also promote greater EFL learning enjoyment for the students.
