Published: October 2021

Palm oil mill is a palm oil and palm kernel processing industry which is a semi-finished product. The palm oil industry is currently growing rapidly in line with the demand for large quantities of CPO and Kernal and their derivatives. In its operation, it is always faced with various risks, from the field to the processing plant. These risks will cause losses to the factory, especially in the form of financial. From the results of field observations obtained 13 kinds of supply chain risks, namely damaged trucks, FFB not up to standard, damaged FFB, insufficient FFB, network error, FFB damaged in the sorting field, boiling problems, problematic polisyndrom, abnormal steem, abnormal processes. /stops, viber cyclone plugs and leaks pipe. Therefore, it is necessary to identify, measure and manage risks to reduce losses caused by supply chain risks. The method used in this study is the MAFMA (Multi Attribute Failure Mode Analysis) method. The MAFMA method is a development of the FMEA method. The results showed that the risk level value contained 4 critical risks on the part of the factory, namely FFB less with a risk level value of 0.096, FFB not according to standards with a risk level value of 0.085, network error with a risk level value of 0.083 and the process running abnormally. /stop with a risk level of 0.073. These 4 critical risks are the priority to be handled. The handling carried out is planning for the right FFB procurement, providing guidance on the harvesting process, stabilizing the network by providing copper rods and planning machine scheduling.

Published: October 2021

Recent advancements in Deep Learning (DL) have revolutionized the way we can efficiently tackle complex optimization problems. However, existing DL-based solutions are often considered as black boxes with high inner complexity. As a result, there is still certain skepticism among the networking industry about their practical viability to operate data networks. In this context, explainability techniques have recently emerged to unveil why DL models make each decision. This paper focuses on the explainability of Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) applied to networking. GNNs are a novel DL family with unique properties to generalize over graphs. As a result, they have shown unprecedented performance to solve complex network optimization problems. This paper presents NetXplain, a novel real-time explainability solution that uses a GNN to interpret the output produced by another GNN. In the evaluation, we apply the proposed explainability method to RouteNet, a GNN model that predicts end-to-end QoS metrics in networks. We show that NetXplain operates more than 3 orders of magnitude faster than state-of-the-art explainability solutions when applied to networks up to 24 nodes, which makes it compatible with real-time applications; while demonstrating strong capabilities to generalize to network scenarios not seen during training.
Terahertz wireless communications in space
Authors: Meltem Civas  , Ozgur B. Akan
Published: October 2021

The New Space Era has increased communication traffic in space by new space missions led by public space agencies and private companies. Mars colonization is also targeted by crewed missions in the near future. Due to increasing space traffic near Earth and Mars, the bandwidth is getting congested. Moreover, the downlink performance of the current missions is not satisfactory in terms of delay and data rate. Therefore, to meet the increasing demand in space links, Terahertz band (0.1-10 THz) wireless communications are proposed in this study. In line with this, we discuss the major challenges that the realization of THz band space links pose and possible solutions. Moreover, we simulate Mars-space THz links for the case of a clear Mars atmosphere, and a heavy dust storm to show that even in the worst conditions, a large bandwidth is available for Mars communication traffic.
From design to prototyping in the Internet of Things: A domotics case study
Authors: Sabrina Sicari  , Alessandra Rizzardi  , Alberto Coen-Porisini
Published: October 2021

Nowadays, the capability of rapidly designing and prototyping, simple, yet real domotics systems (e.g., smart homes and smart buildings applications) is even more compelling, due to the availability and increasing spread of Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Home automation services enable the remote monitoring of indoor environments and facilities.

The main advantages include saving energy consumption and improving the overall management (and users' experience) in certain application domains. The pervasive adoption and diffusion of such remote monitoring solutions is hampered by the timing required for design, prototyping and further developing applications and underlying architecture, which must be often customized on the basis of specific domains' needs and involved entities. To cope with this issue, the paper proposes the analysis and prototyping of a domotics case study, in order to demonstrate the effectiveness of proper IoT?related tools in

speeding up the testing phase.
A dynamic Q-learning beamforming method for inter-cell interference mitigation in 5G massive MIMO networks
Authors: Aidong Yang  , Xinlang Yue  , Mohan Wu  , Ye Ouyang
Published: October 2021

Beamforming is an essential technology in 5G Massive Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MMIMO) communications, which are subject to many impairments due to the nature of wireless transmission channel. The Inter-Cell Interference (ICI) is one of the main obstacles faced by 5G communications due to frequency-reuse technologies. However, finding the optimal beamforming parameter to minimize the ICI requires infeasible prior network or channel information. In this paper, we propose a dynamic Q-learning beamforming method for ICI mitigation in the 5G downlink that does not require prior network or channel knowledge. Compared with a traditional beamforming method and other industrial Reinforcement Learning (RL) methods, the proposed method has lower computational complexity and better convergence efficiency. Performance analysis shows the quality of service improvement in terms of Signal-to-Interference-plus-Noise-Ratio (SINR) and the robustness towards different environments.
Deep extended feedback codes

Published: October 2021

A new Deep Neural Network (DNN)-based error correction encoder architecture for channels with feedback, called Deep Extended Feedback (DEF), is presented in this paper. The encoder in the DEF architecture transmits an information message followed by a sequence of parity symbols which are generated based on the message as well as the observations of the past forward channel outputs sent to the transmitter through a feedback channel. DEF codes generalize Deepcode in several ways: parity symbols are generated based on forward channel output observations over longer time intervals in order to provide better error correction capability; and high-order modulation formats are deployed in the encoder so as to achieve increased spectral efficiency. Performance evaluations show that DEF codes have better performance compared to other DNN-based codes for channels with feedback.
3-of-3 multisignature approach for enabling lightning network micro-payments on IoT devices
Authors: Ahmet Kurt  , Suat Mercan  , Enes Erdin  , Kemal Akkaya
Published: October 2021

Bitcoin's success as a cryptocurrency enabled it to penetrate into many daily life transactions. Its problems regarding the transaction fees and long validation times are addressed through an innovative concept called the Lightning Network (LN) which works on top of Bitcoin by leveraging off-chain transactions. This made Bitcoin an attractive micropayment solution that can also be used within certain IoT applications (e.g., toll payments) since it eliminates the need for traditional centralized payment systems. Nevertheless, it is not possible to run LN and Bitcoin on resource-constrained IoT devices due to their storage, memory, and processing requirements. Therefore, in this paper, we propose an efficient and secure protocol that enables an IoT device to use LN's functions through a gateway LN node even if it is not trusted. The idea is to involve the IoT device only in signing operations, which is possible by replacing LN's original 2-of-2 multisignature channels with 3-of-3 multisignature channels. Once the gateway is delegated to open a channel for the IoT device in a secure manner, our protocol enforces the gateway to request the IoT device's cryptographic signature for all further operations on the channel such as sending payments or closing the channel. LN's Bitcoin transactions are revised to incorporate the 3-of-3 multisignature channels. In addition, we propose other changes to protect the IoT device's funds from getting stolen in possible revoked state broadcast attempts. We evaluated the proposed protocol using a Raspberry Pi considering a toll payment scenario. Our results show that timely payments can be sent and the computational and communication delays associated with the protocol are negligible.
Outlier-resistant Multi-hop Localization Based on Weighted Bounding-Box with the Virtual Anchor
Authors: Hao Yan Hao Yan , Hao Yan Xiao-Yong Yan , Xiao-Yong Yan Xiao-Hui Mo
Published: October 2021

Multi-hop localization has attracted considerable research interests, recently. Most of the existing methods assume that the distribution of anchors is non-collinear, which often does not represent real-world scenes, particularly for irregular networks. In this paper, we present a novel multihop localization scheme to address the ill-posed issue caused by the inappropriate distribution of anchors. First, we recognize whether the preliminary estimated location of nonanchor obtained from existing methods deviates from its true location. So it becomes a new anchor (also called the virtual anchor) after it is identified that the preliminary location of a nonanchor is within an unfit area. With the support of both the virtual anchor and other anchors, a smaller and delimited area can be found in which the target node is situated. Next, we employ the weighted Bounding-Box algorithm to compute the non-anchors’ locations that are close to their true locations. We evaluate our scheme with different network topologies based on other state-of-the-art research and analyze its performance. The results demonstrate that our proposed scheme can improve the accuracy of localization with lower computation complexity.
Wounded Healer: A Spiritual Autobiography
Authors: Pak Soo M.
Published: October 2021

The underworld of human life is undeniably painful, messy, dark, and overwhelming. The sight of it can be disfigured and horrendous; thus, extreme measures are taken to deny, ignore, cover up, and run away from it. However, the darkness of human life is an important ingredient that gives birth to understanding, humility, compassion, and beauty. The key is to look at our wounds with compassion, honesty, and vulnerability. There is great worth in being vulnerable with our wounds. It takes courage to sit with, feel, and examine our wound because it pains us in the most sacred place of our heart. However, when we allow ourselves to be in mercy of our wound, we find something precious and valuable in it. I was able to arrive at my findings by reflecting on the movement of my experiences and wounds. I sense that one of the most important avenues to our spirituality, growth, and wholeness, is through our wounds. This is particularly valuable for a therapist to take note, as we are often referred to as Wounded Healers. The purpose of sharing this article is that as therapists, we need to know our own vulnerabilities and wounds in order to acknowledge, appreciate, and hear the qualities and values of another’s experiences and struggles. This article tells of my unique story, as I journey through confusion, sorrow and defeat; and in doing so, discover the hidden beauty of the wounded soul.
Courtesy: The Space Between Souls
Authors: Vaiser Erica
Published: October 2021

This paper presents an illustrative dissection of the virtuous power of courtesy. The content, herein, examines the mutual space between individual souls created through courtesy, utilizing Robert Sardello’s (2003) definition of “courtesy” as a virtue. True acts of courtesy surpass commonly understood actions and niceties, in which the purpose is to invite one’s soul into a mutual space of acknowledgment with the soul of another. It is only out of this recognition that the soul remembers its common and worldly origin. Ego processing dictates so much of our daily interactions that the presence of soul connection is most certainly never brought to the forefront of our awareness. Courtesy, which leads to connected moments of existence, can most likely be achieved by ignoring categorization of appearance, as well as maintaining a perception of soul-being. Those who act with virtuous courtesy are lead blindly by the heart, quieting the commentary of the mind. Acts of virtuous courtesy can be seen in the profession of hospice care, as a unifying theme in Star Wars, as well as in the prominent work of Mother Theresa. As the nature of the individual soul cannot be expressed in solitude, the relationship between client and therapist most closely represents the process of creating a shared space for one’s soul to enunciate its existence.

THE PARODY EXCEPTION: CAN IT JUSTIFY A 100 PERCENT COPY IF IT HAPPENS IN THE CONTEXT OF A COMPOSITE WORK SUCH AS MUSIC VIDEOS?
Authors: Henriques Adriana
Published: October 2021

Parody is a genre of artistic expression that has been recognized in the EU as an exception to copyright on the grounds of freedom of expression and the right to criticize. In the case of music videos, where image, music and lyrics are essential, the copying of one of those elements, namely the music, may be justified by the application of the exception. Thus, in this article we will study the parody exception in order to reflect on how the copy is justified and present some arguments in that sense. For this purpose, we will give a brief background of the system of copyright exceptions under EU law, from where we will move on to the analysis of the exception that matters to us. Finally, we will focus on parody in music videos, where we will weave our reflections.

Согласно данных ВОЗ, сахарный диабет считается одним из четырех приоритетных неинфекционных заболеваний, требующих мер на обеспечение высочайшего уровня организации. По данным диабетического атласа Международной Федерации Диабета (IDF), в 2019 году диабетом страдали 463 миллиона взрослых во всем мире по сравнению с 108 миллионами в 1980 году (1). Мониторинг уровня глюкозы в крови является важной частью ведения больных сахарным диабетом и играет важную роль в предотвращении осложнений, связанных с сахарным диабетом. Результаты мониторинга уровня глюкозы в крови используются для оценки эффективности терапии, а также для изменений в диете, физической нагрузке и медикаментозном лечении для достижения наилучшего возможного контроля глюкозы в крови (2, 3, 4). В этой связи особое внимание придается созданию портативных, недорогих и надежных методов контроля за уровнем глюкозы крови, для применения как в клинической, так и в амбулаторной практике.
MINAS GERAIS: MAPEAMENTO DE UMA CIVILIZAÇÃO LITERÁRIA
Authors: Luiz Carlos Moreira da Rocha
Published: October 2021

A filosofia iluminista está na base da era moderna e da formação do estado nacional. Há quase trezentos anos, este ideário foi transladado para a então Capitania de Minas Gerais após dar ensejo à formação dos Estados Unidos da América do Norte. Entre nós, este conjunto de aspirações foi incorporado pelos Poetas Inconfidentes que buscaram realizar o sonho de independência da Pátria Mineira. Embora várias outras artes pudessem embasar uma investigação acerca deste movimento, a Literatura Mineira é a que melhor expressa tal sentimento, uma vez que, Tiradentes à parte, são os Poetas Inconfidentes e, posteriormente, outros poetas e prosadores que nos legaram obras e pensamentos, permitindo-nos embasar a proposição de Minas Gerais como uma Civilização Literária. Deste modo, este ensaio visa fundamentar esta ideia à luz do Iluminismo, tendo como método o rastreamento histórico da Literatura Mineira. O resultado será o mapeamento desta literatura, concluindo com a formulação de uma base histórica e literária para a afirmação de que Minas Gerais é uma Civilização Literária.

1300 Years Since the Birth of Geber – Beginning and Foundation of Arabic Alchemy
Authors: Stepanov Nano
Published: October 2021

Geber (Latinized name of Jabir ibn Hayyan (c. 721 – c. 815)) is among the most notable representatives of medieval chemistry. The article, dedicated to the 1300th anniversary of his birth, tries to depict his work as the beginning and groundwork for Arabic alchemy, also serving as a push for the formation of chemistry in the future. The article touches upon his life, characteristics, evaluation of his works, doubts about his identity and authorship. His influences are examined and his achievements in the area of metallurgy (sulfur-mercury theory, characterizing all known metals), knowledge of `secret` (stimulating the transmutation of metals) substances, mineral acids, salts, chemical processes and apparatus, his contributions to practical chemistry prove the broadness of his interests. His rational and practical approach is acknowledged and also his “outer” spiritualism present in the terminology inherited by the authors of Alexandria. The legacy he leaves – his authority, influence on the development of chemistry and followers – Arabic medical alchemists. In the conclusion his services to science and civilization are summarized.
Bulgarian School – Showcase of Identity

Published: October 2021

The text was built on the concept of “showcase of identity” developed by the French ethnologist Jocelyne Bonnet-Carbonell. In the context of this metaphor, the types of identity of Bulgarian school have been described in a postmodern perspective. The aim is to make a parallel between them and to indicate the possible, actual and necessary choice of the Bulgarian school in constructing its own identity. As a document and “commodity”, the “showcase of identity” of the school institution is the opportunity to gain insight not only of the visible field of education that is to be sold, but also of the invisible one, which must be kept and preserved as a spiritual substance.

Authors: Cohen Rina
Published: October 2021

In the 21st century, reality, characterized by volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity, together termed VUCA, change constantly occurs throughout social, technological, economic, environmental, educational, and political (STEEEP model) aspects of society. Therefore, education systems need to adopt innovative approaches to adapt to the frequently changing world. In this study, educational and pedagogical innovation is regarded as including whatever constitutes a change in all areas to which education relates. As teachers are one of the most crucial factors in influencing students’ academic success, and as they must rapidly adapt and constantly innovate to adequately prepare their students for ever-changing circumstances, it is essential to identify traits of innovative teachers. The main goal of this study is to characterize the personality traits of innovative teachers according to the Big Five Personality Traits model, referred to as the NEO-AC model, using qualitative and quantitative methods. The findings show that innovative teachers perceive themselves as first and foremost open to experiences. They are curious people with highly developed imaginations and a wide range of interests. Innovative teachers also may be unconventional, capable of putting together plans and projects from several different disciplines.

Introduction: Although infective endocarditis (IE) is rare disease, this disease has importance due to its high morbidity and mortality rates. The exact incidence is not known as it is not a reportable disease. Unlike developed countries, the disease affects the young more than the elderly in developing countries. Most of the time, the diagnosis cannot be made at the first examination and the disease is often overlooked. In order to reduce the mortality and morbidity of this disease, it is important to quickly recognize the disease by following current diagnosis and treatment methods, to identify the causative agent and to treat accordingly. Both the epidemiology and the management of IE are changing due to medical advances. This situation may also be reflected in scientific publications. We aimed to analyze the global researches on IE.

Authors: Chomchoey Chanya , Thawitsri Thammasak
Published: October 2021

Background: The author aimed to determine the incidence of in-hospital postoperative cardiac arrest requiring cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), postoperative CPR mortality and pre-resuscitation factors associated with post CPR mortality.

Method: A retrospective cohort study was conducted at King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital in Thailand from September 2018 through August 2020. A total of 34,590 adult patients underwent surgical procedures under anesthesia were recruited by electronic data recorded review. A subset of patients with postoperative CPR was collected for demographic data, comorbidities, ASA classification, operative time, functional class, types of surgery, postoperative complications, the number of deaths and survival, and SOS score at 4 hours preceding cardiac arrest.

Results: A total of 34,590 adult surgical patients were recruited. In-hospital postoperative cardiac arrest incidence was 12 patients per 10,000 surgeries and predominated in emergency operation (28 per 10,000 surgeries; P< 0.0001). Risk ratio of emergency operation resulted in postoperative CPR was 3.15 (95% CI 1.72-5.77; P<0.001). Postoperative cardiac arrest patients aged 64.07 ± 16.58. The BMI was 23.46 ± 5.83. Mostly they were in ASA category 3 (44.2%). Everyone had general anesthetic procedures. The most common comorbidity was hypertension. In-hospital postoperative CPR mortality was 62.8%. Factors possibly predisposed to it were functional class < 4 METS, colorectal surgery and SOS score at 4 hours prior to cardiac arrest of at least 8.

Conclusion:  Incidence of in-hospital postoperative cardiac arrest and mortality after CPR in the study tended to be lower than that of previous studies. Emergency operations predisposed to cardiac arrest. SOS score was possibly valuable as a prognostication tool, ICU triage, as well as, a part of the early warning score to prevent the overwhelming crisis. Surveillance for patient’s deterioration, effective rapid response system, and comprehensive preoperative rehabilitation should be emphasized.
