Implementasi Dakwah Keluarga di Era Digital
Authors: Ridwan Muhammad , Edwin Rewira Andi
Published: August 2022

The family is the most important part in shaping the nation's future generation. No wonder someone who comes from a good family will generally be a good person. But behind it all there are other factors that affect the growth and development of family members such as schools, neighbors, and including the times. The digital era, where information and communication technology makes everything easy, effective and efficient. Both in the fields of business, education, culinary, tourism. However, behind the advantages of the digital era, there are negative impacts of individual traits experienced by family members, lack of social interaction, lack of attention and sympathy, and excessive consumerism by using applications. This is where the importance of the appearance of the role of the head of the family is not only normative to the extent of the father and mother, but must be able to appear as a da'wah interpreter who conveys the positive values of the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad. The importance of this role is different from having to know the appropriate material to be delivered as well as the method and method of delivery used.

Published: August 2022

In view of the current mainstream VR virtual tourism system, because of the heavy virtual scenes and limited network bandwidth, tourists can't browse the WEB pages directly, and they need to download plugins or client systems to browse. This paper studies the lightweight architecture of virtual tourism roaming system. Research technologies such as lightweight modeling of 3D scenes, 3D engine call and lightweight script design, build a cloud storage transmission platform, integrate key technologies such as tour guides, and construct the online Jinggangshan WebVR system. The system based on this architecture will enable visitors to browse Web pages directly, online and quickly in real time, and improve the sense of interaction and immersion of the system.
A case study on tourism spatial pattern and its influencing factors from the perspective of real and virtual tourism economic at county scale in Yellow River Economic Belt
Authors: Meng Yiwei , Jian Zihan , Zhang Gaisu
Published: August 2022

Based on the index of tourism Baidu search volume and total tourism income of 667 research units at county scale in Yellow River Economic Belt, this paper uses spatial classification, exploratory analysis of spatial data, nuclear density estimation and other methods to compare and analyze the spatial pattern of county tourism economy in the Yellow River Economic Belt, and then uses the geographical detector model to analyze the influencing factors. The results are drawn as follows. Firstly, from the perspective of spatial distribution pattern, the imbalance of the overall tourism economy is obvious, and the spatial pattern shows a “one big, three small” four core agglomeration pattern. Secondly, from the perspective of spatial correlation pattern, significant HH and LL areas are dominant whether virtual economy or a real economy, and spatial agglomeration effect is obvious. Real economic significant HH areas mainly distribute in the tourism economic developed areas of Shaanxi and Shandong, while real economic significant LL areas are mainly concentrated in the middle and east of Inner Mongolia, the south of Shanxi, most of Qinghai and the north of Ningxia, and scattered in Henan, Gansu and other places. Compared with the entity level, the HH areas of the virtual economy are significantly expanded, mainly distributing in Shandong, Shaanxi and the eastern part of Inner Mongolia. The number of significant LL areas is significantly increased and the distribution range has changed, and the distribution scope of low-value cluster areas mainly distributes in most areas of Qinghai, south and north of Shanxi, and sporadically distributes in Gansu. From the perspective of nuclear density, the spatial structure of virtual and real economy is similar, and the high-value counties mainly distribute in Shandong, Henan and Shanxi forming a high-value gathering area expanding into a core development area. It is worth noting that the virtual economy scope in the north of Shaanxi and the northeast of Inner Mongolia has formed many sub-cores, which indicates that the level of virtual economy in the region is rapidly rising. Finally, according to the results of the Geo-detector model and the coupling matching analysis model, we found the real economy is mainly affected by the resources support level. We also found virtual economy is mainly affected by the level of information technology.

A proposal for a common framework for smart tourism cities with regional revitalization
Authors: Kotaro Nakamura , Hideyuki Sakamoto , Dejan Krizaj
Published: August 2022

Applying networking and connectivity to empower human resources and infrastructure towards the formation of sustainable regional service ecosystems is becoming increasingly important for well-being of people within and outside society to meet social challenges. However, the concepts of smart city (SC) for residents/citizens and smart tourism destination (STD) for visitors/tourists are not yet well coordinated. Therefore, this research provides a framework for regional innovation through “smartization”, which is common to both SC and STD. The framework is constructed from the perspective of the service ecosystem and applied by analysis of four case studies: The framework is constructed from the perspective of the service ecosystem and applied by analysis of four case studies: two representative smart city projects (“urban policy”-directed type) (Toyama and Aizu-Wakamatsu), and two advanced tourism projects (“resource integration”-directed type) in Japan and Slovenia. Based on these examples, the framework clarifies the macro aspects of human resources and infrastructure’s roles with data platform and presents a smartization model with service layers and dynamic spiral through integrating to the concept of Smart Tourism City (STC): a city that aims to improve/create QoL (quality of life) and QoE (quality of experience) for citizens and tourists. It is expected that further STC-concept-based research towards building the quantitative model will lead to concrete insights into the typology of holistic servitisation of each city or region.

It seems that everything around us becomes smart today: smart phones, smart watch, smart TV, smart cars and so on. Smart cities are cities that have digital technology embedded across all city functions. They use information and communications technology (ICT) to collect and measure conditions of everything from water to traffic, and everything is internet-connected. Smart cities are perfect smart tourism destinations. 

In this issue, our topic focuses on urban smart tourism destinations. Nakamura Kotaro and his team provided a framework for regional innovation through “smartization”, which is common to both smart city (SC) and smart tourism destination (STD). The framework is constructed from the perspective of service ecosystem and applied by analysis of four case studies including two projects of “urban policy”-directed type and two projects of “resource integration”-directed type. It’s our honor to request the authority to translate this article from Japanese to English and republish on Smart Tourism.

A lot of urban smart tourism case studies are collected here, from China to Latin America, from management to competitiveness.

Mercado, estado, sociedade e ativismo judicial: as tensões entre inclusão social e livre-iniciativa no caso da petição 3388 junto ao supremo tribunal federal
Authors: Minhoto Antonio Celso Baeta
Published: August 2022

O ativismo judicial, especialmente aquele produzido pelas mais altas cortes em seus países – e no caso do Brasil de forma marcante pelo Supremo Tribunal Federal – é um dos temas mais ricos para um debate contemporâneo dentro do direito, de modo especial quanto à concretização de políticas públicas, bem como a potencial inclusão social que tais políticas acarretem ou possam acarretar. Há que se ponderar, contudo, que a inclusão social não pode ser um valor absoluto, devendo se harmonizar com outros valores igualmente relevantes, sendo que no caso destacamos a livre iniciativa e a atividade empresarial. Ao final, como uma referência analítica, trazemos o caso da Petição 3388 (Reserva Raposa Serra do Sol), demarcada em julgamento do STF.

Making latex peels of soils and soft sediments
Authors: Warren Martin
Published: August 2022

The making of replicas by shallow surface impregnation has been used by soil scientists and sedimentologists for almost 50 years. It overcomes the problem of preservation of cores, trench-cuts, or quarry exposures in unconsolidated sediments, and allows samples to be removed for study in the laboratory. This technique could be more widely used by museums for preservation and display of suitable sections. After all, where soft sediments are involved a museum display usually resorts to a photograph, which is a poor substitute for the real thing. Supplement this with a replica or peel and one can at once convey colour, texture, and scale, whether it be a soil profile, archaeological section, fossil ice-wedge cast, or what ever. It will certainly make a more eye-catching and meaningful exhibit.

Published: August 2022

Students use self-regulated learning, a self-directed process, to evaluate their learning as they work toward academic objectives. This study aims to determine the degree of self-regulated learning strategy in a flexible learning environment with regard to affective, cognitive, metacognitive, and motivational strategy; ascertain the level of students’ academic performance in flexible learning; assess if there is a significant relationship between the students’ academic performance and the self-regulated learning strategies; and find out which variable, singly or in combination, predicts students’ academic performance. The study used a descriptive quantitative correlational design. The study is conducted at Valencia National High School, Valencia City, Bukidnon. The research respondents were 150 Grade 10 students. The reseachers used descriptive statistics to determine the level of each sub-variable of self-regulated learning strategies and the students’ academic performance. The relationship involving self-regulated learning and students' mathematical performance is examined using Pearson Product Moment Correlation. Finally, to predict which sub-variables predict students’ academic performance, it utilizes regression analysis. Results showed that students are indicated positive about self-regulated learning. The student's academic performance is rated as very satisfactory. Henceforth, there is a significant correlation between students' academic performance and their use of a self-regulated learning strategy. Lastly, the sub-variable that predicts students’ academic performance is the metacognitive strategy.
BUSINESS PERFORMANCE OF MICRO-ENTERPRISES IN NORTHERN MINDANAO, PHILIPPINES: A MULTINOMIAL LOGISTIC REGRESSION ANALYSIS
Authors: E. Colipano Teddy
Published: August 2022

This study investigated the factors that influence the business performance of micro-enterprises in Northern Mindanao. Specifically, it examined the profile, marketing practices, entrepreneurial orientation, access to finance, and business performance of these enterprises. The study used responses from 417 micro-enterprises selected through stratified random sampling from the provinces of Bukidnon, Camiguin, Lanao del Norte, Misamis Occidental and Misamis Oriental. A descriptivecorrelational research design was employed to attain the objectives of the study. More than half of micro-enterprises employed 1-4 employees and undertook their business for not more than five years. Marketing practices are implemented most of the time. Their entrepreneurial orientation was high, access to finance was moderate to great, and their business performance for the last three years was average to good. The aggregate multinomial logistic regression analysis reveals that among the variables used in the study, business age, marketing practices, entrepreneurial orientation, and access to finance significantly influence the business performance of micro-enterprises. The multinomial logistic regression per industry analysis yields a different result. In merchandising industry sector, marketing practices, business age, and access to finance influence substantially business performance. In the service industry sector, entrepreneurial orientation, business age, and access to finance significantly influence business performance.

Authors: Ovchinnikova A. V.
Published: August 2022

In this article, the author reviewed a brief history of the development and establishment of bilateral relations between the Russian Federation and Mongolia. Based on the historical experience between the two states, the main directions of interregional cooperation between the regions of the Russian Federation were considered, including the constituent entities of the Russian Federation bordering the Mongolian aimaks, namely the Republics of Altai, Buryatia, Tuva and the Trans-Baikal Territory. At the same time, based on the statistical data of the Federal Customs Service of the Russian Federation, an analysis was made of trade, economic and investment interregional and border cooperation between the regions of the Russian Federation and Mongolia from 2014 to 2021. Additionally, cooperation between the constituent entities of the Russian Federation and Mongolia in the social and military spheres is considered. Based on the analysis of cooperation in various fields and directions, a number of subjects of the Russian Federation were identified that are actively working to develop Russian-Mongolian relations. The strengths and weaknesses of interregional cooperation between the regions of the Russian Federation and the aimags of Mongolia have been considered and analyzed, and on the basis of them a number of proposals have been prepared aimed at developing interregional cooperation.
Peter the Great in Modern Russian Cinema
Authors: Sosnitsky D. A.
Published: August 2022

Within the framework of this study, the author analyzes the features of the construction of the image of Peter I in the Russian historical cinema of the post-Soviet period. As a source, feature films and TV series dedicated both directly to Peter the Great himself and his era are considered. The article draws conclusions about the most popular historical heroes in cinema, directly related to the first Russian emperor, and gives characteristics of the bright film incarnations of the reformer tsar. Thus, the analysis of post-Soviet Russian historical cinema allows us to conclude that in recent decades, plots related to the personal life of the tsar (the conflict with Tsarevich Alexei and the relationship with Catherine I) have been in demand. The author also traces the connections between modern Russian and Soviet cinema and highlights common places in the interpretation of the image of Peter I. The characteristic features of the cinematic image of Peter I, set in the films of the first half of the XX century, namely, impulsiveness, determination, complete dedication, migrated to modern cinema and continue to be exploited when creating new films.
Donepezil Beyond Alzheimer's Disease? A Narrative Review of Therapeutic Potentials of Donepezil in Different Diseases
Authors: Pooladgar Parham , Sakhabakhsh Mehdi , Taghva Arsia , Soleiman-Meigooni Saeed
Published: August 2022

: Donepezil hydrochloride is an acetylcholine esterase inhibitor studied and approved to treat Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, this drug can have positive therapeutic potential in treating different conditions, including various neurodegenerative disorders such as other types of dementia, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, psychiatric and mood disorders, and even infectious diseases. Hence, this study reviewed the therapeutic potential of this drug in treating Alzheimer's and other diseases by reviewing the articles from databases including Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, Cochrane, and Science Direct. It was shown that donepezil could affect the pathophysiology of these diseases via mechanisms such as increasing the concentration of acetylcholine, modulating local and systemic inflammatory processes, affecting acetylcholine receptors like nicotinic and muscarinic receptors, and activating various cellular signaling via receptors like sigma-1 receptors. Despite many therapeutic potentials, this drug has not yet been approved for treating non-Alzheimer's diseases, and more comprehensive studies are needed.

Tests of Impact Acceleration on a Flat Bow Plate for a High Speed Craft
Authors: Cohen Stuart B.
Published: August 2022

Model tests of vertical impact acceleration of a planing boat bow flap at zero speed in calm water showed significant differences between a zero-angle and 12-degree angle of entry. The results differed from pressure measurements of impact found in the literature since the plates were flat and had no deadrise. However, the force proportionality with height, that is with v2, is confirmed. The structures can be represented by a single degree of freedom, with no consideration for trapped air, or water spray jets. Results indicate that the water provides a suction force, and preliminary theoretical calculations give a similar indication.

Authors: Butt Mark-Andrew , Bose Neil , Datta Indra , Williams Christopher D.
Published: August 2022

In 1997, the Institute for Marine Dynamics (IMD) together with International Submarine Engineering Research Limited (ISER) and Memorial University of Newfoundland (MUN) proposed to design and test a 1/2 scale surface-piercing mast for the DOLPHIN. This new mast was to be designed in such a way that it would assist in controlling vehicle roll. Another goal was to reduce the drag of the mast. A new mast was designed with a 25% plain flap over its lower-half and active air ejection over its surface-piercing upper-half. Both methods of control were tested in the 200m Towing Tank at IMD using a 0.516 scale model of the DOLPHIN. This work was carried out in late 1997 and early 1998 with funding from IMD, MUN and ISER. The results of some of these experiments are presented and discussed in this paper.

Comparison of Antegrade Percutaneous Intramedullary K-wire Fixation and Transverse Pinning for Treatment of Unstable Displaced Metacarpal Neck and Shaft Fractures: A Prospective Interventional Study
Authors: Yaqub Ansari Emad , Singh Navneet , Tiwari Punit , Jaura Sandeep Singh , Brar Bhupinder Singh
Published: August 2022

Introduction: Metacarpal fractures account for upto 10% of all body fractures and 36% of all hand fractures in adolescents, young adults, and active adults. Fractures of the metacarpal shaft and neck are common in all metacarpal fractures after direct trauma, roadside accidents, or sports injuries. The ratio of the shaft to the neck is 1:2. Closed reduction and plaster of paris cast can be used to treat the majority of these fractures conservatively. Unstable and comminuted fractures necessitate surgery. Aim: To compare the clinical, functional and radiological outcomes in antegrade intramedullary fixation and transverse pinning of metacarpal fractures in patients of unstable and displaced metacarpal shaft and neck fractures. Materials and Methods: A single-institutional prospective interventional study identified 60 cases of metacarpal fractures between November 2019 to August 2021. Each of the cases met the inclusion criteria for closed extra-articular fractures, displaced and unstable fractures of the metacarpal bone. The patients were divided into two groups having 30 subjects each, randomly allotted to two groups (Antegrade intramedullary K-wiring and Transverse Pinning). Outcomes were compared for range of movement by the American Society of Hand Surgeons Total Active Motion score (ASSH TAM), Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and radiological parameters (Angulation). Patients were followed-up for 12 weeks. Complications were listed in terms of pin site infection. Results: Most of the patients were found to be in the third decade of life. The fracture union was achieved at 8±2 weeks. Clinical evaluation done by VAS score which was found to be statistically insignificant between two groups (p-value=0.243). Radiological assessment evaluated by measuring postoperative angulation between two groups was found to be statistically insignificant (p-value=0.248). Difference in functional evaluation between the two groups done by ASSH TAM was found to statistically significant between the groups (p-value=0.036). Conclusion: Both antegrade intramedullary K-wiring and transverse pinning demonstrate good and comparable results for extra-articular neck and shaft metacarpal fractures. However, the former is superior in terms of final range of motion as per ASSH TAM score.
Comparison of the Autoregressive Vector VAR with the Dynamic Error Correction Vector DVECM for Modeling COVID-19 Deaths
Authors: Abed Ahmed Razzaq , Shamil Ayad Habeeb
Published: August 2022

In this article, the Vector Auto-Regressive model and the Dynamic Error Correction Vector Model will be used in modeling data representing the number of deaths due to infection with the COVD-19 virus as a dependent variable and the variable platelet rate in the blood as an independent variable and finding the model equations that represent the relationship between the two variables using the two models and then estimating the equations that were obtained by estimating the two models using the least squares method, then choosing the best estimated equation from each model, and then, using the standard error of the regression and the coefficient of determination, selecting the best equations from the two models. The Dynamic Error Correction Vector Model is superior to the Vector Auto-Regressive model in assessing the link between corona virus mortality and the proportion of platelets in the blood, according to the analysis carried out using the E-Views application, and that there is a direct relationship through the equation for the Dynamic Error Correction Vector Model between the deaths of the corona virus and the proportion of platelets in the blood in the long term, which is logical as a result of the increase in the impact of the deaths of the Corona virus, the increase in the platelet rate, and thus the increase in the deaths of the corona virus.
Determination of In-door Air Quality by Estimating Microbiological Load from the Ambient Air among Basic Health Units in the City of Januaria, Brazil - A Cross Sectional Study
Authors: Ferreira Luiz Carlos , Ramos Camila Almeida
Published: August 2022

Aims: Poor air quality can compromise the health and recovery of patients and even compromise the quality of life and productivity of health professionals, affecting the speed of recovery of patients and allowing the occurrence of nosocomial infections. The present work evaluated the microbiological quality of ambient air in Basic Health Units (BHU), determining the degree of microbiological safety for the population served.

Study Design:  This study was conducted with triplicate evaluation of samples of ambient air.

Place and Duration of Study: This study was conducted in the city of Januária, state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, between March 2016 and July 2016.

Methodology: Environmental air samples were collected in five BHU in the urban area of the city, evaluating the contamination by aerophilic mesophilic microorganisms, enterobacteria, molds and yeasts, using the simple sedimentation technique in a Petri dish.

Results: It was verified the presence of mesophilic aerobic bacteria and molds and yeasts in amounts higher than the recommendation used as a parameter for this study, indicating that the hygienic-sanitary conditions in the evaluated BHU are not adequate.

Conclusion: The presence of Enterobacteriaceae in some evaluated sites suggests the possibility of the presence of pathogenic microorganisms, which may pose risks to the health of the population.

An experiment was conducted to find out the effect of organic manures and inorganic fertilizers on growth, yield and quality of onion (Allium cepa L.) var. Nashik Red during 2021-2022 in Rabi season (Nov-Apr) at Horticulture Research Farm, Department of Horticulture, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Allahabad (Uttar Pradesh). Total 13 treatments were replicated thrice in Randomized Block Design (RBD).  The results showed that treatment T4 (75% NPK + 25% Poultry manure) was recorded maximum in growth and quality parameters i.e., plant height (62.29 cm), maximum number of leaves (10.38), maximum TSS (14.58 0Brix) and maximum ascorbic content  of (12.49).whereas, the yield parameters were maximum in treatment T8 (50% NPK + 50% Poultry manure) was recorded with maximum weight of fresh bulb weight (181.70 g), maximum weight of cured bulb (168.07 g), maximum bulb diameter (8.63 cm), maximum yield per plot (23.09 kg) and maximum yield per hectare (15.36 t).
An Overview on Phenomics Applications in Different Agriculture Disciplines
Authors: J. Hilli Harshavardan
Published: August 2022

In the past ten years, ground and aerial platforms with several sensors have been rapidly adopted for phenotyping diverse biotic, abiotic stressors and other characters during the crop plant's growth stages. An increase in yield achieved from traditional breeding programs worldwide are no longer sufficient to meet the projected demand for the three major cereals like Rice, Wheat and Maize. Thus the phenomics application which includes high throughput phenotyping (HTP) i.e artificial intelligence based techniques should be bought over traditional phenotyping in order to meet the needy demands of traditional ones. Also Artificial intelligence (AI)-based data analysis techniques can increase the reliability of diagnoses and, as a result, be included into instruments for effective treatment. These methods find pertinent data for use in plant breeding and pathology activities by using feature extraction, identification, classification, and prediction criteria as well as for precision breeding. This approach has various applications in various agriculture disciplines. The main steps under such techniques includes: Image acquisition, Preprocessing of images, segmentation of images, Image Representation and Description and Image recognition. The use of these helps to speed up genetic progress and lessen the phenotyping drawbacks.
