A Defense of Local People Working as Souvenir Vendors and Its Relation with the Female Identity in Kintamani Tourism Area, Bali
Authors: Widiastini Ni Made Ary , Ardika I Wayan , Mudana I Gede
Published: June 2018

Souvenir vending is one of the jobs done by poor people in tourist areas such as Batur Tengah Village or better known as Penelokan, Kintamani, Bangli Regency, Bali to make their family survive. However, the souvenir vendors’ existence is not only considered by tourism businesses as unacceptable, but it is also regarded as a major factor that hampers the development of tourism in Kintamani. In fact, the Bali Local Regulation No. 2 of 2012 on Cultural Tourism explicitly emphasizes that the development of Bali’s tourism is aimed to encourage an equal distribution of business opportunities and to obtain maximum benefits for the welfare of the community. Therefore, this study was aimed to determine the reasons why the informal sector (souvenir vending) is used as the basis of the family economy, what is the practice of souvenir vending which has become the basis of the family economy, and also what is the struggle for vendor space in the Kintamani tourism area and its relation with the female identity. In this study, several techniques were used such as observations, interviews, and literature study to collect data. Research results show that the people in the Batur Tengah village choose to work as souvenir vendors because of their limited economic capital, education, skills, and time due to other life burdens, especially for those who are already married. In the Kintamani tourism area, souvenir vendors have to interact with various parties which certainly involves a capital struggle because each party has a different interest. As a famous international tourism area which has become a global Geopark, this area is highly contested for its economic, social, cultural, political, and environmental values. Researchers found a new paradigm that shows souvenir vending to be one form of entrepreneurship in a tourism field which is responded to by the people as a multi-purpose industry. The utilization of the informal sector is considered a family economic base by women in the village of Batur Tengah. Married woman are obligated to provide for their families hence they struggle as souvenir vendors in the middle of the tourism competition which has become more strict and less accommodative due to the new government policy. In practice, the community is very obedient to the elite community leaders who are considered as patrons, both by the men and women vendors. Other options to support their families are now very few and becoming less as the tourism areas are becoming more popular.

Published: June 2018

Language is an essential feature of communication for all poeple. It is utilized through various tools and media, and singing songs is one of the traditional forms of communication. Songs are usually written for particular reasons, messages, and purposes, and sometimes targeted for specific audience or listeners. Song lyrics usually contain various themes such as social and current issues and problems which the songwriter strives to share through expressions of his or her ideology, thoughts and feelings. This paper is aimed to find out the text analysis, social cognition and social context in the humanity song entitled We Shall Overcome through Teun A. van Dijk’s Critical Discourse Analysis model. This model shows that the choice of words or the diction is cohesive and coherent and is able to communicate the general meaning of this humanity song. Furthermore, the social cognition in this humanity song is related with the current social context which involves the recent situation in Palestinine, where there is still in conflict with Israel.
Kita Dan Dunia Kontemporer (Atau Mengapa Sejarawan Harus Menyesuaikan Cara Kerjanya Dengan Tuntutan Perkembangan Teknologi Informasi Digital)
Authors: Suwignyo Agus
Published: June 2018

In the last 15 years, the interest of Indonesian people in the history and study of history has increased very rapidly. This is indicated by the number and various type of historical books sold in bookstores and the posting of different historical events on social media. However, the history taught at school and university lecture does not seem to improve. The efforts of writing and teaching history lessons/courses still focus on models and the results of the formal study which tend to be a state-centric in nature. In particular, historical writing and teaching have faced challenges of the emerging changes caused by the global connectivity of information technology as a historical fact of the contemporary world that is growing. The contemporary world presents a new challenge in the study and teaching of history through the development of digital communications technology. This paper reviews historical positions and historians in the rapid dynamics of the development of digital communications technology. Why and how historians should develop a proper perspective in placing their studies in the current era of digital technology? Papers process data using digital technology and contrast it with the model and approach of historical study in Indonesia so far.
History Flash: Sejarah “Satu Menit”
Authors: Yuliantri Rhoma Dwi Aria
Published: June 2018

This paper elaborates thoughts regarding the use of digital communication technology in the innovation of historical explanation. So far, the explanation of history in the mainstream has set the written explanation (script) as a product of study and thought on historical reconstruction. The script is for sure an important form that has been widely accepted as an output of the past reconstruction. However, technological developments, especially in the field of digital communications, provide historians with new challenges regarding alternative forms of historical representation which confronts the existed conventional models. This paper offers thoughts about the method of historical reconstruction through flash history in the form of short filmmaking, which has the duration in minutes. The objective is to socialize history and bring closer the process of historical reconstruction to the daily life of the community, which currently engages with digital communication technology. The method applied in this study is a historical method. But, the stages and the outputs of this historical method is not a written narrative, but an audio-visual product that can be quickly shared as a learning medium and can be directly addressed by the community. The paper also reviews the limitations of digital technology as media and product in the process of historical reconstruction.

Published: July 2018

Objective: Given the importance of the association between diabetes and periodontal disease, the main objective of the present study was to compare the microbial diversity responsible for gingivitis in patients with and without type 2 diabetes.Methods: Samples were collected from the oral cavity of 134 patients with gingivitis and categorised into 3 groups (68 non-diabetic patients and 66 diabetic patients; 33 with controlled diabetes and 33 with poorly controlled diabetes). Sample culture was carried out on selective culture media. The identification of isolated strains involved a series of biochemical tests including miniature galleries (API 20E and 20 Strep), the traditional biochemical gallery (tubes) and automated bacterial identification (BD Phoenix™).Results: Identification by biochemical methods made it possible to differentiate 14 bacterial species and one yeast. There was greater bacterial diversity in diabetic patients as compared to non-diabetic patients. Periodontal pathogens were isolated from both diabetic and non-diabetic populations; however, certain microbes such as Streptococcus acidominimus, Enterobacter cloacae, Klebsiella oxytoca, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were present only in diabetics, with a much higher percentage in those with poorly controlled diabetes.Conclusion: Poorly controlled diabetes causes metabolic dysregulation that can increase the severity of periodontal disease.

Published: July 2018

Работа посвящена системному анализу данных показателей исходной воды при производстве питьевой воды в системе центрального водоснабжения крупного населенного пункта. На сегодняшний день на фоне увеличивающегося негативного антропогенного воздействия на окружающую среду наблюдается ухудшение состояния многих источников питьевого водоснабжения в широком спектре показателей, в частности, таких как органолептические свойства воды. Как следствие, возникает проблема и для питьевой воды. В работе приводится процесс подготовки данных о параметрах исходной воды, забираемой из водохранилища, которые ежемесячно (с 2002 по 2014 год) учитывались на предприятии при дезодорации воды. Приведенные параметры оказывают существенное влияние на органолептические свойства конечной воды. Подготовка данных для анализа проводится методом главных компонент К. Пирсона. Данные, полученные в пространстве R9, переводятся в пространство меньшей размерности R3. Понижение размерности позволяет снизить автокорреляцию между компонентами. Отбор компонент в пространство R3 проводится по правилу Парето. В пространстве R3 методом сферической кластеризации данных «Форель» с постоянным радиусом группировки проводится кластеризация. Приводится пошаговое визуальное представление алгоритма кластеризации в пространстве R3. В работе показано, что в данных показателях качества исходной воды имеются кластеры. Проводится корреляционно-регрессионный анализ данных, представленных в главных компонентах. Строятся регрессионные зависимости показателей органолептических свойств от главных компонент из пространства R3.

Обосновывается несостоятельность современной парадигмы управления технологическим процессом производства ассортимента строительных материалов, строящейся на установлении нормативных требований к характеристикам материала и наладке производственных процессов под эти требования. Доказывается актуальность перехода к новому обоснованному производству ассортимента строительных материалов, предназначенному для изготовления конкретных типов строительных конструкций. Предлагаемый процесс отличается учетом функционального назначения и условий эксплуатации конструктивных элементов в объекте недвижимости и последующей формализацией данных требований к характеристикам строительного материала. Модель множества альтернатив строительного материала предлагается получить путем проведения ортогонального эксперимента в области варьирования выбранных параметров управления производственным процессом по заданной технологии. Процесс выбора оптимального строительного материала на представленном множестве альтернатив предлагается осуществлять на основе учета мнений потребителя и производителя в отношении конечного продукта. Также в соответствии с данной концепцией предлагается разработка алгоритмов решения задачи субъектно ориентированной многокритериальной оптимизации, работа которых направлена на поиск оптимальной для участников рынка производства альтернативы строительного материала в соотношении цены и качества. При оценке эффективности предложенного ассортиментного подхода в решении задачи оптимизации технологического процесса производства строительных материалов доказывается целесообразность обоснованного расширения множества существенных, имеющих перспективу использования альтернатив материала за счет обоснованного выхода за область проведения ортогонального эксперимента.
On the Question of Professional Training of Medical (Clinical) Psychologists with the Use of Remote Educational Technologies
Authors: Reverchuk I V , Shishlina N V
Published: July 2018

Проблема определения профессионального статуса медицинского (клинического) психолога в России в настоящее время достаточно актуальна. Она выражается и в двойном наименовании данной специальности, и в том, какие вузы должны вести подготовку данных специалистов - гуманитарные или медицинские, и в отсутствии согласованности нормативных документов, регламентирующих деятельность и требования к образованию медицинских (клинических) психологов. Эта проблема подкрепляется отсутствием соответствующего профессионального стандарта, на базе которого можно было бы разработать образовательный стандарт и вести профессиональную подготовку специалистов, отвечающих за поддержание и восстановление психического здоровья населения. Предлагается авторский вариант списка трудовых функций, на основе которых можно было бы спроектировать профессиональный стандарт клинического (медицинского) психолога. Профессиональная подготовка медицинских (клинических) психологов может быть организована на основе адаптивного модульного обучения, где каждый учебный модуль соответствует определенной трудовой функции и раскладывается на ряд микромодулей, каждый из которых строится на основе одного из описанных в профессиональном стандарте трудовых действий. Приводится пример подобной модульной организации учебного процесса, причем предлагается его организация с использованием дистанционных образовательных технологий. Дистанционные образовательные технологии могут применяться не только в процессе самообучения слушателей, но и для организации эффективного диалога обучающихся между собой и с преподавателем (тьютором) курса. Смешанное обучение с элементами очных занятий и очной итоговой аттестации было бы, по мнению авторов, наиболее результативным.
Modeling of Dynamics of Planetary Gears with Elements of the Increased Flexibility
Authors: Pushkarev I A
Published: July 2018

Повышенная податливость элементов планетарной передачи способствует выравниванию нагрузки в зацеплениях колес, но создает опасность возникновения нежелательных колебаний. Актуальной является задача исследования динамики планетарных передач с элементами повышенной податливости. Планетарная передача представлена набором твердых тел (зубчатых колес), соединенных пружинами, моделирующими упругие связи в зубчатых парах. Гибкий эпицикл представлен в виде частей обода и упруго связанных отдельных зубьев, находящихся в данный момент в зацеплении. Математическая модель динамики планетарного механизма составлена на основе уравнений Лагранжа второго рода. Учтено девять обобщенных координат. В обобщенные силы входят: моменты двигателя, сил полезного сопротивления и трения; момент, обусловленный кручением упругого вала солнечной шестерни; упругие силы в зацеплении колес, в осях сателлитов, между отдельными зубьями эпицикла. В первом приближении считается, что угловая скорость водила постоянна. Принимается также, что сумма моментов двигателя, сил полезного сопротивления и трения равна нулю, центр масс сателлита относительно водила не перемещается. Система из девяти дифференциальных уравнений сведена к двум уравнениям свободных колебаний сателлита и солнечной шестерни. Жесткость в зубчатом зацеплении выражена через модуль упругости и ширину венца зубчатых колес. Моменты инерции колес приняты как у сплошных дисков; массы колес определяются c учетом коэффициента заполнения. Получены аналитические зависимости для собственных частот свободных колебаний сателлита и солнечной шестерни вследствие податливости зубьев. Исследовано влияние диаметра солнечной шестерни и передаточного отношения планетарного механизма на значения собственных частот. Сделан вывод о влиянии увеличения податливости элементов планетарной передачи на нежелательные колебания сателлита и солнечной шестерни.

¿Puede la educación para la transformación del conflicto servir como mecanismo para incrementar el nivel de paz en Colombia?
Authors: Hill Thomas
Published: June 2018

Los enfoques convencionales para la construcción de paz no han llevado a sociedades más pacíficas. Es necesario un nuevo enfoque de la educación para así producir el alcance político y los cambios sociales que muchos educadores para la paz han previsto. La Educación para la Transformación del Conflicto (CTE) es un enfoque prometedor que busca transformar actitudes a nivel grupal más que individual; y afronta, en lugar de negar, su anhelo político de cambiar normas sociales respecto al uso de la violencia. La CTE puede ser una herramienta útil en el contexto del posconflicto del acuerdo de paz en Colombia.
South Africa as postcolonial heterotopia: The racialized experience of place and space
Authors: Villet Charles
Published: June 2018

This essay claims that heterotopia is characteristic of post-Apartheid South Africa, i.e. where heterotopia is usually the exception in society, it is the norm in South Africa. This claim reinterprets and expands Foucault’s concept: heterotopia here refers to the racialization of place and space, and hence to otherness and difference as primary. The ubiquity of heterotopia post-Apartheid is evident in the life-worlds of white suburbia and the black township. A case study is undertaken of white suburbia through a series of phenomenological descriptions of contemporary South Africa using heterotopia as a heuristic tool. This study demonstrates how Foucault’s notion of heterotopia is relevant but also too narrow when related to the postcolonial context. An expanded notion of the term as denoting a racialized experience of space and place is necessary for the purposes of coming to terms with the strangeness of post-Apartheid South Africa, where contradiction and otherness are the norm rather than the exception.
Monsters of Sex: Michel Foucault and the Problem of Life
Authors: Hansen Sarah K.
Published: June 2018

This article argues, contra-Derrida, that Foucault does not essentialize or pre-comprehend the meaning of life or bio- in his writings on biopolitics. Instead, Foucault problematizes life and provokes genealogical questions about the meaning of modernity more broadly. In The Order of Things, the 1974-75 lecture course at the Collège de France, and Herculine Barbin, the monster is an important figure of the uncertain shape of modernity and its entangled problems (life, sex, madness, criminality, etc). Engaging Foucault’s monsters, I show that the problematization of life is far from a “desire for a threshold,” à la Derrida.  It is a spur to interrogating and critiquing thresholds, a fraught question mark where we have “something to do.” As Foucault puts it in “The Lives of Infamous Men,” it an ambiguous frontier where beings lived and died and they appear to us “because of an encounter with power which, in striking down a life and turning it to ashes, makes it emerge, like a flash [...].”
Bæredygtighed – århundredets største udfordring og mulighed
Authors: Hildebrandt Steen
Published: June 2018

En kollega og jeg mødtes tilfældigt en efterårsdag for nogle år siden på havnen i Skagen. Tæt ved os lå et kæmpestort fartøj, en forvokset fiskekutter, som var så stor som en fabrik. Og det var en sejlende fabrik, der kunne fange så mange fisk i døgnet, at man kun kan have ondt af fiskene. Handelen med fiskekvoter har gjort nogle EU-fiskere til mangemillionærer - uden at de har gjort nogen særlig indsats – ud over at være til stede på det rigtige tidspunkt. Alt sammen i den såkaldt frie konkurrences hellige navn. Vi taler om kvotekonger og om storfiskerklubber, der angiveligt støtter regeringspartiet Venstres fiskeriordfører og statsministeren med nogle af deres millioner, og i foråret 2017 var kvotekongerne og deres kvotekoncentration ligefrem ved at koste den ansvarlige minister jobbet. ”Storfiskersag har sendt minister i stormvejr”, hed en overskrift. En anden lød: ”Kvotekonge pumpede formue i venstreordførers firma”. Vi vekslede nogle ord om disse fiskefartøjer, der har skabt en ny virkelighed for både fisk og fiskere verden over. Global overfiskning er en realitet.
A Pilot Study to Address Tolerance of Uncertainty Among Family Medicine Residents
Authors: Taylor Deborah , Picker Bethany , Woolever Donald , Thayer Erin K. , Carney Patricia A. , Galper Ari B.
Published: July 2018

Background and Objectives: Because patients often present to their family physicians with undifferentiated medical problems, uncertainty is common. Family medicine residents must manage both the ambiguity inherent in the field as well as the very real uncertainty of learning to become a skilled physician with little experience to serve as a guide. The purpose of this analysis was to assess the impact of a new curriculum on family medicine residents’ tolerance of ambiguity.
Methods: We conducted an exploratory quasi-experimental study to assess the impact of a novel curriculum designed to improve family medicine residents’ tolerance of ambiguity. Four different surveys were administered to 25 family medicine residents at different stages in their training prior to and immediately and 6 months after the new curriculum.
Results: Although many constructs remained unchanged with the intervention, one important construct, namely perceived threats of ambiguity, showed significant and sustained improvement relative to before undertaking this curriculum (score of 26.2 prior to the intervention, 22.1 immediately after, and 22.0 6 months after the intervention).
Conclusions: A new curriculum designed to improve tolerance to ambiguity appears to reduce the perceived threats of ambiguity in this small exploratory study.

Published: July 2018

In this paper, exergy analysis of a 210 MW SPP (Steam Power Plant) is performed. Firstly, the plant is modeled and validated, followed by a parametric study to show the effects of various operating parameters on the performance parameters. The net power output, energy efficiency, and exergy efficiency are taken as the performance parameters, while the condenser pressure, main steam pressure, bled steam pressures, main steam temperature, and reheat steam temperature isnominated as the operating parameters. Moreover, multiple polynomial regression models are developed to correlate each performance parameter with the operating parameters. The performance is then optimizedby using Direct-searchmethod. According to the results, the net power output, energy efficiency, and exergy efficiency are calculated as 186.5 MW, 31.37 and 30.41%, respectively under normal operating conditions as a base case. The condenser is a major contributor towards the energy loss, followed by the boiler, whereas the highest irreversibilities occur in the boiler and turbine. According to the parametric study, variation in the operating parameters greatly influences the performance parameters. The regression models have appeared to be a good estimator of the performance parameters. The optimum net power output, energy efficiency and exergy efficiency are obtained as 227.6 MW, 37.4 and 36.4, respectively, which have been calculated along with optimal values of selected operating parameters.

Image enhancement (IE) is very important in the field where visual appearance of an image is the main. Image enhancement is the process of improving the image in such a way that the resulting or output image is more suitable than the original image for specific task. With the help of image enhancement process the quality of image can be improved to get good quality images so that they can be clear for human perception or for the further analysis done by machines.Image enhancement method enhances the quality, visual appearance, improves clarity of images, removes blurring and noise, increases contrast and reveals details. The aim of this paper is to study and determine limitations of the existing IE techniques. This paper will provide an overview of different IE techniques commonly used. We Applied DWT on original RGB image then we applied FHE (Fuzzy Histogram Equalization) after DWT we have done the wavelet shrinkage on Three bands (LH, HL, HH). After that we fuse the shrinkage image and FHE image together and we get the enhance image.

Survey of Emotion Influence in Image Social Networks
Authors: Mettilda Y. Helan , Anbuselvi R.
Published: June 2018

Psychological theories propose that emotion represents the status of mind and natural responses of one’s cognitive system. Emotions are a difficult state of feeling that results in physical and psychological changes that power our actions. In this paper, we study an interesting problem of emotion infection in social networks.  In this paper, we study a different interesting problem of emotion influence in social networks. In particular, by employing an image social network as the basis of our study, we try to unveil how users’ emotional statuses influence each other and how users’ positions in the social network affect their influential strength on emotion in different papers.  We also find out several interesting phenomena. For example, the possibility that a user feels happy is about linear to the number of friends who are also happy; but taking a nearer look, the pleasure chance is super linear to the number of happy friends who act as opinion leaders in the network and sub linear in the number of happy friends who span structural holes. This offers a new chance to understand the basic mechanism of emotional contagion in online social networks.
Intra-flow Contention Scheme for Improving QoS in WLAN
Authors: Kaur Simranjeet , Singh Maninder
Published: June 2018

With the increasing popularity of wireless local area network(WLAN),the demand for multimedia services encompassing VoIP, multimedia streaming and interactive gaming is increasing rapidly. The real-time services require stringent Quality of Service (QoS) guarantees for effective communication. While a lot of research has dealt with providing QoS support for real-time services in traditional wired networks, the shared and broadcast nature of the wireless medium necessitates the design of new solutions for wireless networks. In wireless networks, unlike wired networks, the communication from one node will consume  the bandwidth of the neighboring nodes and hence the  shared  bandwidth  can  be easily over-utilized. Therefore, to  provide  an  acceptable  level  of  QoS  for  the  real-time  services, it  is  necessary   to   control  the   utilization   of   the   shared  bandwidth. In this  paper , we  propose  an  efficient admission control scheme named Intra-flow contention scheme with CAC-OLSR routing protocol for WLAN networks which aims at  preserving  the  QoS  for  all  the  admitted  flows  by employing a low overhead  threshold  mechanism.  We  describe several  alternatives for the design of IAC and compare the performance of these alternatives using  simulation  results.

Published: June 2018

The real commercialisminformation often demonstrates temporal feature and time varying behavior. Temporal affiliation rule has thus got an active area of explore. A calendar part such as months and days, clock parts such as hours and seconds and differentiated units such as business days and academic years, act a major role in a wide range of information system applications. The calendar-based form has already been proposed by explorers to restrict the time-based association ships. This paper advises a novel algorithmic program to determine association rule on time dependent data employingeffective T tree and P-tree data structures. The algorithm complicates the significant advantage in terms of time and memory while comprising time dimension. Our approach path of scanning based on time-intervals yields littlerinformation set for a given valid interval thus cutting down the processing time. This approach is enforced on a synthetic data-set and result shows that temporal TFP tree collapses better performance over a TFP tree access.

Now-a-days Healthcare Sectors to create acloud computing environment to obtain a patient's complete medical record. This environment reduces time consuming efforts and other costly operations and uniformly integrates collection of medical data to deliver it to the healthcare specialists. Electronic HealthRecords have been usuallyimplemented to enable healthcare providers and patients to create, manage and access healthcare information from at any time and any place. Cloud environment provide the essential infrastructure at lower cost and improved quality. The Healthcare sector reduces the cost of storing, processing and updating with improved efficiency and quality by using Cloud computing. But today the security of data in cloud environment is not adequate. The electronic health record consists of images of the patient’s record which is very confidential. The Electronic Health Records in the healthcare sector includes the scan images, X-rays,DNA reports etc., which are considered as the patients private data.It requires a very high degree of privacy and authentication. So, providing security for a large volume of data with high efficiency is required in cloud environment. This paper introduces a new mechanism in which the images of patient’s record can be secured efficiently and the private data are well-maintained for later use. Since most of the private data are in the form of images, extra care must be taken to secure these images. This can be done by converting the images into pixels and then encrypting those pixels. After the encryption, the single encrypted file is divided into ‘n’ number of files and they are stored in the cloud database server. The original data is obtained by merging the n divided files from the cloud database server and then decrypting that merged file using the private key which is made visible only to the authorized persons as required by the hospital. To protect the data in cloud database server cryptography is one of the important methods. Cryptography provides several symmetric and asymmetric algorithms to secure the data. This paper presents the symmetric cryptographic algorithm named as Advanced Encryption Standard (AES).
