On Care Robots and the Ethics of Tracking
Authors: Stamboliev Eugenia
Published: October 2020

This paper establishes a transdisciplinary exploration of care robots and their tracking capacity as an ethical performance. It does this to highlight the concerns around the ubiquity and availability of data in care contexts. In my attempt to scrutinise care robots beyond being humanoid and sociable actors, but instead as data tracking technologies, I link robot ethics, media and surveillance studies with posthuman and performative ethics to redefine tracking as an ethical microcosm within care robots. I do this, first, by challenging how to look at care robots and robot interactivity, particularly in reference to tracking as an ethical, not necessarily moral, question of interactivity and relationality. This angle will challenge the ethical timing and evaluation around tracking as an inherently ethical relation. Second, by arguing that the common ethical views on tracking are about concerns of privacy intrusion and data infringement while overlooking that a main ethical issue might not be a robotic intention to spy but the availability of data because of robots. Consequently, what deserves more attention in the ethics of robots is the growing ubiquity of care robots, the sensitivity of care contexts, and the acknowledgement of data appropriation; the latter being especially important considering the vulnerability of health care environments, and the growing commercial value of health data.

Published: October 2020

The Educational Data Mining (EDM) is a very vigorous area of Data Mining (DM), and it is helpful in predicting the performance of students. Student performance prediction is not only important for the student but also helpful for academic organization to detect the causes of success and failures of students. Furthermore, the features selected through the students’ performance prediction models helps in developing action plans for academic welfare. Feature selection can increase the prediction accuracy of the prediction model. In student performance prediction model, where every feature is very important, as a neglection of any important feature can cause the wrong development of academic action plans. Moreover, the feature selection is a very important step in the development of student performance prediction models. There are different types of feature selection algorithms. In this paper, Fast Correlation-Based Filter (FCBF) is selected as a feature selection algorithm. This paper is a step on the way to identifying the factors affecting the academic performance of the students. In this paper performance of FCBF is being evaluated on three different student’s datasets. The performance of FCBF is detected well on a student dataset with greater no of features.

Published: October 2020

The cool roofs in buildings is a promising option to deal with summer Urban Heat Island (UHI) effects. In context to that, studies on different cool roof materials are widely available; however, there is a dearth of studies on insulating material benefits and implication for tropical and sub-tropical climate zones. This work investigates thermal performance, energy savings and cost benefits of cool roof materials. For this study, simulation of various cool roof materials such as Marble, Expanded Polyurethane Spray (EPS), Poly Vinyl Chloride (PVC), Spray Polyurethane Foam (SPF) , Extruded Polystyrene Foam (XPS), Thermocol sheet, Asphalt tile, Gypsum tile and Jumbolon-board have been carried out using Energy Plus software package. The results of zone air temperature show that maximum zone air temperature occurs in the month of May. The maximum zone air temperature obtained for conventional roof is 32.1oC, whereas that for Thermocol sheet, SPF, XPS, Jumbolon-board, EPS, marble, PVC, Asphalt tile and Gypsum tile is 28.8, 28.9, 28.8, 29, 29.1, 31.9, 30.5, 30.2 and 30.7oC respectively. Conventional roof surface outside and inside temperature difference is 2.90C, whereas, roof surface outside and inside temperature difference for Thermocol sheet, XPS, Jumbolon-board, SPF, EPS, marble, PVC, asphalt tile and gypsum tile is 9.2, 9.3, 8.7, 7.5, 8.1, 3, 3.1, 3.3 and 2.20C, respectively. Notably, XPS, Thermocol sheet, SPF, Jumbolon-board, EPS, Marble, PVC, Asphalt tile and Gypsum tile cool roof materials can save around 5.47, 5.38, 5.35, 5.15, 4.93, 1.09, 2.62, 2.31 and 2.18 MWh annually, respectively for the selected building. The payback period for marble, PVC, gypsum tile and asphalt tile is above 1 year, whereas the effective payback period obtained for XPS, Thermocol sheet, SPF, EPS and Jumbolon-board varies from 3 to 6 months. It is concluded that the cool roof materials may be used effectively to save energy and cost.

Published: October 2020

In the surfactant alternating gas injection, the injected surfactant slug is remained several days under reservoir temperature and salinity conditions. As reservoir temperature is always greater than surface temperature. Therefore, thermal stability of selected surfactants use in the oil industry is almost important for achieving their long-term efficiency. The study deals with the screening of individual and blended surfactants for the applications of enhanced oil recovery that control the gas mobility during the surfactant alternating gas injection. The objective is to check the surfactant compatibility in the presence of formation water under reservoir temperature of 90oC and 120oC. The effects of temperature and salinity on used surfactant solutions were investigated. Anionic surfactant Alpha Olefin Sulfonate (AOSC14-16) and Internal Olefin Sulfonate (IOSC15-18) were selected as primary surfactants. Thermal stability test of AOSC14-16 with different formation water salinity was tested at 90oC and 120oC. Experimental result shows that, no precipitation was observed by surfactant AOSC14-16 when tested with different salinity at 90oC and 120oC. Addition of amphoteric surfactant Lauramidopropylamide Oxide (LMDO) with AOSC14-16 improves the stability in the high percentage of salinity at same temperature, whereas, the surfactant blend of IOSC15-18 and Alcohol Aloxy Sulphate (AAS) was resulted unstable. The solubility and chemical stability at high temperature and high salinity condition is improved by the blend of AOSC14-16+LMDO surfactant solution. This blend of surfactant solution will help for generating stable foam for gas mobility control in the methods of chemical Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR).

Published: October 2020

This paper explores the fiscal policy of a country, as well as the policies that influence the economic growth of a country, since the course of government decision-making would be decided by fiscal policy and government expenditure. A research that uses a qualitative descriptive approach and thus a large literature is required to provide information to the government in order to ensure that the government can avoid delaying market prices. Community security can be accomplished when rates can be set by the government. In addition to fiscal policy that can preserve equilibrium, fiscal policy can have an effect on country's economic development and can establish social justice for all societies, followed by fiscal policy in a country through taxes and other responsibilities in Islam such as Zakat. Waqf, as philanthropy, may also help the government's efforts to raise government revenue and is sponsored by top management in the public financial sector, with the expectation that macro and micro businesses may develop in a country.
The Atlas of Globalizing Fiction
Authors:   Babeş-Bolyai University, Cluj-Napoca, Romania (RuxCes@yahoo.com), Cesereanu Ruxandra
Published: October 2020

David Mitchell has written a famous novel about how to make a (geographically fragmented) novel out of fragments: the six life stories included in Cloud Atlas are implicit fictional networks, simultaneously concealed and laid bare. The novel offers ample room for six nested histories and their divergent styles; the result is a strange and rather ostentatious book, shaped like a ziggurat, and providing an almost didactic initiation into matters of style. In fact, David Mitchell offers an atlas of the globalization of fiction. The spaces and times of Cloud Atlas engender not only polytopy and polychrony, but also a theory of fiction. The atlas of worlds, zones, territories, topographies becomes a structure that constantly generates other worlds to be visited or narrated. Their very narrativity allows for the globalization of fiction.
L’objet contestataire face à l’ère néolibérale

Published: October 2020

In regard to demonstrations of political activism, the contesting standard that emerges cultivates a semiotic spirit of demand. Implicitly, the rise of a communitybased approach becomes innovative: shield books, inflatable objects, and messages of hierarchical exchange – all of which call for government confrontation and responsibility claim. The interest of this topic resides in the examination that takes place between the role of objects in social exchange movements and the contemporary community spirit. Among the consequences of this challenge, a new hybrid subject emerges, hence the questioning: What is the long-term relationship of these objects to civic culture? How can we distinguish their benefits? What are the characteristics that define “the cohesion” of disobedience? Finally, what role should be attached to the object in the neo-liberal era?

Situated at the historical juncture of increased global violence, retronationalism, neoliberalism, techno-positivism, environmental and humanitarian disaster, the planet and life itself are in crisis and human “reason is on trial” (Mbembe). This post-global planetary emergency also signifies a crisis of the cultural and political imagination (Gosh) and a lack of critical paradigms through which to address this crisis creatively. This essay discusses a number of analytical terms—noise, the immaterial, rupture/event, the “environmental uncanny” (Gosh), “re-existence” (Mignolo)—to read the planetary in (im)material and decolonial terms as configurations of the incalculable.

En este trabajo, nos aproximaremos a las disputas de las memorias, que generó el intento gubernamental de borrar las expresiones artísticas plasmadas por el Estallido Social, en los muros del Centro Cultural Gabriela Mistral. Las protestas que comenzaron el 18 de octubre del 2019 y que se extendieron hasta las marchas feministas del 8 y 9 de marzo del 2020, generaron varias interrogantes a partir de la explosión del pasado: ¿Qué tipo de desobediencia civil protagonizan las memorias? ¿Qué hacer cuando el campo de acción de estos movimientos sociales, reivindica y logra instalar sus símbolos en el espacio público? Esta aproximación la haremos revisitando el pasado del GAM, que ya enfrentó intentos gubernamentales por borrar connotaciones anteriores, así podremos comprender por qué este Centro Cultural es un espacio en disputa y un patrimonio difícil.
Cambiar las políticas de memoria
Authors: Wechsler Wanda
Published: October 2020

En los últimos cuatro años, el gobierno de Cambiemos ha realizado un giro en las políticas de memoria y de educación en Argentina. Extendiendo a nivel nacional ciertas políticas ya presentes en la Ciudad de Buenos Aires, con el triunfo de Mauricio Macri en el gobierno nacional y la asunción de Claudio Avruj a la Secretaría de Derechos Humanos y Pluralismo Cultural, se visibilizó a través de acciones y discursos una transformación del área. El presente artículo analiza este giro del período, observando cómo se privilegió cierto discurso mientras se buscó desarmar el construido por los gobiernos kirchneristas. Mientras se le quitó presupuesto a los sitios de memoria, archivos e investigadores, se establecieron fuertes lazos con quienes construyen la memoria del Holocausto en el país. Estas políticas mostraron además los lazos de Cambiemos con un sector de la comunidad judía local.

The Diagnostic Value of Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratio in Diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorders
Authors: Sari Nurmalia Purnama , K Yudianita , Haiqal M. Rafli , Akbar M. Fadill
Published: October 2020

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder, progressive disruption of brain development and synaptic connections, which causes impaired communication and behavioral disorders. However, the etiology is unknown. A damaged perinatal environment causes chronic nerve inflammation in genetically susceptible children of ASD, dysregulation of the immune system, which leads to ASD. The ratio of Neutrophil to Lymphocyte (NLR) as one of the markers of inflammation is frequently associated with inflammation-related psychiatric diseases and is potentially used as a diagnostic instrument. A cross-sectional study was carried out from June to November 2019 by using medical records of Outpatients with growth and development disorders and ASD and involving 69 children. The diagnosis of ASD was confirmed by the fifth edition Diagnostic and Manual of Mental Disorders criteria (DSM-V). A routine hematology test was carried out with a flow cytometry method. Diagnostic tests were performed in 43 children with developmental disorders (mean NLR 1.01±0.07) and 26 ASD children (mean NLR 1.02±0.06), with a cut-off value of 0.68. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and accuracy of NLR were 84.62%; 27.9%; 41.51%; 25%; and 50.2%, respectively. Neutrophil to lymphocyte is sensitive to diagnose ASD but its accuracy is low. Immune dysfunction and complex neurodevelopmental disorders that are affected by chronic inflammation play a role in the occurrence of ASD. Other inflammatory markers are needed to improve the accuracy of laboratory tests to diagnose ASD.

Authors: Bernardino Susana , Santos José de Freitas , Ribeiro José Cadima
Published: October 2020

O conceito de cidade inteligente (CI) é um conceito promissor que tem acolhido uma atenção crescente quanto ao seu potencial para a melhoria da qualidade de vida das cidades. O conceito começou a ser disseminado tendo em mente a necessidade do uso das tecnologias de informação e comunicação para o incremento do bem-estar dos cidadãos. No entanto, as interpretações mais recentes do conceito apontam para a necessidade de uma visão mais holística de CI, que contemple outras caraterísticas relevantes para a dinamização e desenvolvimento urbano. Através do estudo de uma iniciativa de empreendedorismo social (CAIS - Associação de Solidariedade Social) que atua nas duas principais cidades Portuguesas, Lisboa e Porto, esta investigação pretende ajudar a compreender em que medida é possível tornar cidades inteligentes mais humanizadas e sustentáveis através do empreendedorismo social. O levantamento de dados foi feito recorrendo a uma triangulação de fontes, primárias e secundárias. Os resultados obtidos indicam que através de iniciativas de empreendedorismo social é possível contribuir positivamente para a criação de valor nas cidades, através da melhoria da qualidade de vida dos seus cidadãos e da resolução sustentável de alguns dos mais urgentes desequilíbrios sociais. A investigação indica que a adoção de uma estratégia assente na valorização da componente humana tem-se mostrado capaz de produzir uma resposta sustentável e de contribuir positivamente para outras dimensões das cidades inteligentes.

Published: October 2020

The Brazilian Competition Defense System, built by Law 12,529 / 2011, received, in 2013, an important contribution from the Anti-Corruption Law (Law 12,846). In one of the aspects in common, the laws stipulate the Leniency Program or Agreement, aimed at recognizing the economic infraction and the corruptive business practice, facilitating the investigation of infractions, as well as any co-authors, in exchange for benefits regarding the punitive aspects. This essay intends, at first, to understand the origin and historical evolution of “leniency” in Brazil, differentiating the institutes foreseen in the CADE Law and in the Anticorruption Law. And, in a second step, to outline an analysis of the leniency agreement entered into by Odebrecht due to practices found in the scope of Operation Lava Jato. The investigation has a deductive method, starting from the analysis of legal institutes towards a practical case, rising from bibliographic analysis and the terms of the agreement in question.
O estranho caso da nova lei de branqueamento capitais portuguesa
Authors: Luz Soares João
Published: October 2020

Starting from what is the international legislative apport, with special relevance to the 5th and 6th Community Directives, this article aims to address the new Portuguese Anti- Money Laundering Law (Law 83/2017) fragilities. More than a simple verification of the general characteristics of the aforementioned legal framework, this study intends to assert itself as a constructive criticism to the existing weaknesses (specificities) of the abovementioned law. In fact, this new anti-Money Laundering Law moves in intricacies that are difficult to implement, and the transposition of the legal framework regarding the prevention of money laundering has raised a concrete interest on the part of the legal professions that deal closely with this reality. As such, there are difficulties in understanding the obligations arising from that new legal Portuguese framework, exacerbated, even, and in a background approach, by the emergence of specific sectoral sanctioning regimes, often in contradiction with the general regime, in flagrant violation of the most basic general principles of Law.
Regime geral dos atos eletrónicos – um regime esquecido

Published: October 2020

In addition to the digitization of physical evidence associated with the modernization of the mechanisms of the digitalized civil process, the future of Justice is closely linked to digital proof: the use of originally electronic documents to prove contracts and other legally relevant acts.
The proliferation of electronic communications (replacing postal mail, fax communications and even telephone), in its multiple forms (electronic mail, instant messages, and the multiple public and private communications services provided by social networks), as well as the expansion of electronic commerce, and in particular the generalization of electronic contracting, has been increasing exponentially the use of electronic means for the practice of legal acts.
Digital proof assumes a central role in civil law, both from a substantive and an adjective perspective. The regime of validity and probative value of documents, signatures and electronic communications enshrined in Decree-Law No. 290-D/99, of 2 August, represents a general regime for civil law of paramount importance in the Information Society.
Unfortunately, the Portuguese legislator has repeatedly approved exceptional rules in individual diplomas, contradicting or ignoring the existence of this general regime.

The article presents a dynamic socio-ecological-economic model of the synergetic development of individual economic entities, which makes it possible to reconcile their general and private interests. Maximization of specific consumption is proposed as a target parameter. Accordingly, in relation to private interests - the subject, in relation to general interests - the governing center. The model provides for the possibility of using the available resources by each entity both in the tasks of their own development and in the general development goals of other entities. The presented model can be used to form an economic development program for a separate territory, a separate industrial cluster, a municipality, a region and a macro-region. As a result of modeling, control parameters are formed for developing a strategy for economic development. A model of territorial development based on two models is presented: a dynamic model of the combination of general and private interests and a neoclassical Solow model. It is proposed to use a model for regional systems, where the elements of the system are regions within one macro-region. The parameters of the model used for the macroregion are described in terms of identification. The modification of the Solow model takes into account a) threshold limits on the volume of production in the region, emissions and discharges of pollutants from the regions; b) interaction of subjects in solving joint development problems through cross-investment for a synergistic effect; c) taking into account the influence of technical progress both on the volume of the quantity of products produced and on labor productivity. As for the use of the model of the combination of general and private interests, the sum of two terms was taken as the target function of agents (regions): the maximization of specific consumption is taken as the private interests of the region, and the specific consumption of the entire macroregion is taken as the general interest.

Kurikulum 2013 yang berbasis karakter dan kompetensi, antara lain ingin mengubah pola pendidikan dari orientasi terhadap hasil dan materi kependidikan sebagai proses, melalui pendekatan tematik integratif. Oleh karena itu, dengan pembelajaran sebanyak mungkin melibatkan peserta didik, agar mereka mampu bereksplorasi untuk membentuk kompetensi dengan menggali berbagai potensi, dan kebenaran secara ilmiah Pengembangan Kurikulum 2013 dilaksanakan atas dasar beberapa prinsip utama. Pertama, standar kompetensi lulusan diturunkan dari kebutuhan. Kedua, standar isi diturunkan dari standar kompetensi lulusan melalui kompetensi inti yang bebas mata pelajaran. Ketiga, semua mata pelajaran harus berkontribusi terhadap pembentukan sikap, keterampilan, dan pengetahuan peserta didik. Keempat, mata pelajaran diturunkan dari kompetensi yang ingin dicapai. Kelima, semua mata pelajaran diikat oleh kompetensi inti. Keenam, keselarasan tuntutan kompetensi lulusan, isi, proses pembelajaran, dan penilaian. Sebagai titik tekan pengembangan Kurikulum 2013 adalah penyempurnaan pola pikir, penguatan tata kelola kurikulum, pendalaman dan perluasan materi, penguatan proses pembelajaran, dan penyesuaian beban belajar agar dapat menjamin kesesuaian antara apa yang diinginkan dengan apa yang dihasilkan. Aplikasi yang taat asas dari prinsip-prinsip ini menjadi sangat esensial dalam mewujudkan keberhasilan implementasi Kurikulum 2013 di lapangan. Kesemuanya ini tidak terlepas dari dukungan semua pihak, apakah itu pemerintah daerah serta dukungan dari orang tua dan masyarakat. Implementasi Kurikulum 2013, dilaksanakan melalui Pendekatan Scientific. Pada pelaksanaannya pendekatan ini menekankan pada lima aspek penting, yaitu mengamati, menanya, mencoba, menalar dan komunikasi. Lima aspek ini harus benar-benar terlihat pada pelaksanaan pembelajaran di lapangan.Kata Kunci: Kurikulum, Karakter

Pengaruh Model Pembelajaran Kooperatif Tipe Student Team Achievement Division (STAD) Terhadap Kemampuan Berpikir Kritis Siswa (Studi Eksperimen pada Mata Pelajaran Ekonomi Kelas XI SMA Informatika Ciamis)
Authors: Arifin Nur Rizqi
Published: October 2020

Berdasarkan hasil observasi awal diperoleh gambaran mengenai rendahnya kemampuan berfikir kritis siswa yang dilihat dari hasil analisis butir soal yang dianggap sukar khususnya mata pelajaran ekonomi menunjukan bahwa jumlah siswa yang mampu mencapai nilai Kriteria Ketuntasan Minimal (KKM) hanya 23 orang atau 38,33% sedangkan siswa yang mendapat nilai dibawah KKM sebanyak 37 orang atau 61,66%. Perolehan nilai tersebut merupakan implikasi dari perilaku siswa pada saat proses pembelajaran. Para siswa gelisah, mengantuk, apatis, tidak bertanya meskipun guru memberi kesempatan kepada siswa untuk bertanya dan sebagian besar tidak bisa menjawab pertanyaan mengenai isi materi yang baru disampaikan. Pada saat evaluasi kebanyakan siswa tidak mampu menjawab soal yang menuntut berfikir kritis. Metode penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah eksperimen yang merupakan jenis penelitian kuantitatif. Metode ini digunakan dengan cara menguji kemampuan berfikir kritis siswa dengan menggunakan Model Pembelajaran Kooperatif Tipe Student Team Achievement Division (STAD). Untuk melihat pengaruh peningkatan kemampuan berpikir kritis siswa pada mata pelajaran ekonomi, siswa diberikan perlakuan berupa pretests dan posttest. Adapun desain eksperimennya adalah Nonequevalent Control Group Design. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan kemampuan berpikir kritis siswa pada pengukuran awal (pretest) dengan pengukuran akhir (posttest) sebesar 31,333 pada kelas eksperimen yang menggunakan Model Pembelajaran Kooperatif Tipe Student Team Achievement Division (STAD). Nilai rata-rata kelas kontrol sedikit lebih rendah dari pada nilai rata-rata kelas eksperimen, perbedaan rata-rata (mean diference) sebesar 1,000 (72.67-71,67) dan perbedaan berkisar antara -5,581 sampai -7,581 terlihat pada lower dan upper. Terlihat bahwa nilai signifikansi kelas eksperimen dan kontrol pada pengujian posttest sebesar 0,762 disini membuktikan bahwa tidak terdapat pengaruh yang signifikan terhadap kemampuan berpikir kritis siswa pada pembelajaran ekonomi dengan uji t. Karena nilai probabilitasnya lebih kecil P value 0,762 < 0,05 maka H0 diterima dan H1 ditolak yang berarti bahwa tidak terdapat perbedaan signifikan antara rata-rata nilai posttest eksperimen dengan rata-rata nilai posttest kontrol. Peneliti memberikan saran kepada guru yang akan menerapkan Model Pembelajaran Kooperatif Tipe STAD perlu pemahaman konsep dan keterampilan menggunakan model dan  metode secara lebih komprehensif Kata Kunci: Model pembelajaran dan Berpikir kritis

Anggaran bagi organisasi nirlaba memiliki peran yang berbeda dibanding perannya pada perusahaan atau sektor bisnis. Pada perusahaan, anggaran ditetapkan dengan titik berat pada target penerimaan. Untuk itu produksi dan pemasaran akan dilakukan untuk mencapai target penerimaan ini. Pada organisasi nirlaba, anggaran merupakan penterjemah dari rencana kegiatan atau program organisasi dan sumber dana yang dibutuhkan. Jadi, anggaran pada organisasi nirlaba dimulai dari program atau kegiatan yang direncanakan. Kemudian diterjemahkan ke dalam satuan uang untuk selanjutnya dibandingkan dengan anggaran penerimaan. Menurut PSAK No. 45 menjelaskan bahwa komponen laporan keuangan organisasi nirlaba meliputi: (1) Laporan Posisi Keuangan, (2) Laporan Aktivitas, (3) Laporan Arus Kas. Laporan aktivitas menyajikan jumlah perubahan aktiva bersih terikat permanen, terikat temporer, dan tidak terikat dalam suatu periode. Laporan aktivitas juga menyajikan keuntungan dan kerugian yang diakui dari investasi dan aktiva lain (atau kewajiban) sebagai penambah atau pengurang aktiva bersih tidak terikat, kecuali jika penggunaannya dibatasi oleh penyumbang, dan menyajikan beban sebagai pengurang aktiva bersih tidak terikat.
