Multi-scale Entropy and Multiclass Fisher’s Linear Discriminant for Emotion Recognition Based on Multimodal Signal
Authors: Hakim Lutfi , Kristanto Sepyan Purnama , Khoirunnisaa Alfi Zuhriya , Wibawa Adhi Dharma
Published: February 2020

Emotion recognition using physiological signals has been a special topic frequently discussed by researchers and practitioners in the past decade. However, the use of SpO2 and Pulse rate signals for emotion recognitionisvery limited and the results still showed low accuracy. It is due to the low complexity of SpO2 and Pulse rate signals characteristics. Therefore, this study proposes a Multiscale Entropy and Multiclass Fisher’s Linear Discriminant Analysis for feature extraction and dimensional reduction of these physiological signals for improving emotion recognition accuracy in elders.  In this study, the dimensional reduction process was grouped into three experimental schemes, namely a dimensional reduction using only SpO2 signals, pulse rate signals, and multimodal signals (a combination feature vectors of SpO2 and Pulse rate signals). The three schemes were then classified into three emotion classes (happy, sad, and angry emotions) using Support Vector Machine and Linear Discriminant Analysis Methods. The results showed that Support Vector Machine with the third scheme achieved optimal performance with an accuracy score of 95.24%. This result showed a significant increase of more than 22%from the previous works.
Assessing the Accuracy of Approximate Confidence Intervals Proposed for the Mean of Poisson Distribution
Authors: Shirvani Alireza , Fathizadeh Malek
Published: February 2020

The Poisson distribution is applied as an appropriate standard model to analyze count data. Because this distribution is known as a discrete distribution, representation of accurate confidence intervals for its distribution mean is extremely difficult. Approximate confidence intervals were presented for the Poisson distribution mean. The purpose of this study is to simultaneously compare several confidence intervals presented, according to the average coverage probability and accurate confidence coefficient and the average confidence interval length criteria.

Hydrogen conversion using gasification of tea factory wastes
Authors: Akyüz Ali , Akyurek Zuhal , Naz Muhammad , Sulaiman Shaharin , Gungor Afsin
Published: February 2020

In this study, gasification performance and importance of hydrogen production using waste of a tea factory were evaluated. A mathematical model was developed for the gasification system, which includes a water gas shift reactor used for hydrogen purification. The gasifier temperature was 877?C for the developed model. The model has been validated against experimental data from an 80 kW t h cylindrical downdraft gasifier, given in the literature for syngas composition for three different air-to-fuel ratios. With the developed model, hydrogen production from tea wastes was achieved to yield a higher level by additionally using a water gas shift reactor. Tea waste (1000 kg) was gasified and after the hydrogen purification process, a total of 4.1 kmol hydrogen was achieved, whereas the amount would be 2.8 kmol gas hydrogen if a normal gasification method were used. The validity of the developed model was verified by comparing the experimental results obtained from the literature with the results of the model under the same conditions. After verification of the developed model, the effect of the moisture content of the biomass and the air/fuel ratio on the composition of the product gas were investigated. These investigations were also confirmed by experimental data. The results show that it is important to convert biomass waste into a clean energy source of hydrogen to minimize its environmental impact.
Endodontic Access Effect on Full Contour Zirconia and Lithium Disilicate Failure Resistance
Authors: Mallya J , DuVall N , Brewster J , Roberts H
Published: February 2020

Objectives:

To evaluate the effect of endodontic access on the failure load resistance of both adhesively and conventionally luted, full-contour monolithic yttria-stabilized zirconium dioxide (Y-TZP) and adhesively luted lithium disilicate (LD) crowns cemented on prepared teeth.

Methods and Materials:

Seventy-two human maxillary molars were prepared per respective guidelines for all-ceramic crowns with one group (n=24) restored with LD and the other (n=48) receiving Y-TZP crowns. Preparations were scanned using computer-aided design/computer-aided milling (CAD/CAM) technology, and milled crowns were sintered following manufacturer recommendations. All LD crowns and half (n=24) of the Y-TZP crowns were adhesively cemented, while the remaining Y-TZP specimens were luted using a conventional glass ionomer cement (GIC). One LD group, one Y-TZP adhesive group, and one GIC-luted group (all n=12) then received endodontic access preparations by a board-certified endodontist: the pulp chambers were restored with a dual-cure, two-step, self-etch adhesive and a dual-cure resin composite core material. The access preparations were restored using a nano-hybrid resin composite after appropriate ceramic margin surface preparation. After 24 hours, all specimens were loaded axially until failure; mean failure loads were analyzed using Mann-Whitney U test (α=0.05)

Results:

Endodontic access did not significantly reduce the failure load of adhesively luted LD or Y-TZP crowns, but Y-TZP crowns with GIC cementation demonstrated significantly less failure load.

Conclusions:

These initial findings suggest that endodontic access preparation may not significantly affect failure load resistance of adhesively luted Y-TZP and LD crowns. Definitive recommendations cannot be proposed until fatigue testing and coronal seal evaluations have been accomplished.
Do Tooth- and Cavity-related Aspects of Noncarious Cervical Lesions Affect the Retention of Resin Composite Restorations in Adults? A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Authors: Correia AMO , Bresciani E , Borges AB , Pereira DM , Maia LC , Caneppele TMF
Published: February 2020

Purpose:

The purpose was to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis based on the following research question: do tooth- and cavity-related aspects of noncarious cervical lesions (NCCLs) affect the retention of composite restorations?

Methods:

Randomized clinical trials (RCTs) that evaluated the retention rate of resin restorations in NCCLs were included for the identification and comparison of their characteristics. The search was conducted in PubMed and adapted for Scopus, Web of Science, Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature database (LILACS), Brazilian Library in Dentistry (BBO), Cochrane Library, and System for Information on Grey Literature in Europe (SIGLE) without restrictions until July 2018. Unpublished and ongoing trial registries were also searched. The Cochrane Collaboration tool was used for assessing risk of bias. The quality of the evidence was graded using the Grading of Recommendations: Assessment, Development and Evaluation. Using the random effects model, a meta-analysis was conducted for each aspect (arch distribution, tooth location, wear facets, dentin sclerosis, shape, size, depth, occluso-gingival distance, and margin location).

Results:

We retrieved 6738 articles. After removal of duplicates and nonrelevant articles, 24 RCTs remained. The anterior tooth location favored the retention rates of restoration of NCCLs (relative risk [RR], 1.08; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.00-1.16). The presence of wear facets is a risk factor for the retention of restorations (RR, 0.91; 95% CI, 0.83-0.99). The evidence was moderate for arch distribution and low or very low for all other factors because of heterogeneity, imprecision, and inconsistency.

Conclusion:

The tooth location and the presence of wear facets can affect the retention of composite resins in NCCLs.
Effect of Curing Light and Exposure Time on the Polymerization of Bulk-Fill Resin-Based Composites in Molar Teeth
Authors: Shimokawa CAK , Turbino ML , Giannini M , Braga RR , Price RB
Published: February 2020

Objectives:

This study examined the influence of different light-curing units (LCUs) and exposure times on the microhardness across bulk-fill resin-based composite (RBC) restorations in a molar tooth.

Methods and Materials:

Tip diameter, radiant power, radiant exitance, emission spectra, and light beam profile were measured on two single-emission-peak LCUs (Celalux 3 and DeepCure-S) and two multiple-peak LCUs (Bluephase 20i and Valo Grand). A mold was made using a human molar that had a 12-mm mesial-distal length, a 2.5-mm deep occlusal box, and two 4.5-mm deep proximal boxes. Two bulk-fill RBCs (Filtek Bulk Fill Posterior and Tetric EvoCeram Bulk Fill) were photoactivated for 10 seconds and for 20 seconds, with the light guide positioned at the center of the occlusal surface. Microhardness was then measured across the transverse surface of the restorations. The light that reached the bottom of the proximal boxes was examined. Data were statistically analyzed with the Student t-test, two-way analysis of variance, and the Tukey post hoc test (α=0.05).

Results:

The four LCUs were different regarding all the tested characteristics. Even when using LCUs with wide tips and a homogeneous beam profile, there were significant differences in the microhardness results obtained at the central and proximal regions of the RBCs (p<0.05). LCUs with wider tips used for 20 seconds produced higher microhardness values (p<0.05). The multiple-peak LCUs produced greater hardness values in Tetric EvoCeram Bulk Fill than did the single-emission-peak LCUs (Celalux 3 and DeepCure-S). Results for the light measured at the bottom of proximal boxes showed that little light reached these regions when the light tip was positioned at the center of restorations.

Conclusions:

Curing lights with wide tips, homogeneous light beam profiles, and longer exposure times are preferred when light-curing large MOD restorations. Light curing from more than one position may be required for adequate photopolymerization.

The present clinical case report presents and discusses the etiology and clinical characteristics of MIH and describes a restorative protocol for MIH-affected teeth.
Kinesiska investeringar i Sverige: från framgång till fara?
Authors: Bohman Viking , Nymalm Nicola
Published: February 2020

Under 2017 och 2018 ökade Kinas direktinvesteringar i Sverige avsevärt till följd av ett antal stora förvärv, mestadels i fordonsindustrin. Samtidigt har den svenska offentliga debatten kring kinesiska investeringar blivit mer kritisk sedan 2017, då investeringarna överlag talades om i positiva ordalag. Under 2018 och 2019 har en rad aktörer inom statliga myndigheter, politiska partier, media och civilsamhället beskrivit Kinas investeringar som ett potentiellt säkerhetshot. Näringslivsrepresentanter är mindre synliga i debatten men även här finns det en tydlig trend av ökad uppmärksamhet på potentiella säkerhetsrisker kopplade till kinesiska investeringar. Den svenska synen på Kina tycks konvergera allt mer med vad EU har kallat för sin nya ”mer realistiska” hållning gentemot Peking. Ett antal policyprocesser har inletts, vilket sannolikt kommer leda till att svensk lagstiftning stärks på flera områden för att öka kontrollen av Kinas investeringar och engagemang i Sverige, särskilt i kritisk infrastruktur såsom telekommunikationsnät men även vad gäller företag vars verksamhet anses som säkerhetskänslig i mer generell bemärkelse.
Abstract in EnglishChinese Investments in Sweden: From Fame to Fear?China’s direct investment in Sweden surged in 2017 and 2018 due to a number of large acquisitions, mostly in the automotive industry. At the same time, the public debate on Chinese investments has become more critical since 2017, when they were typically seen in a positive light. Throughout 2018 and 2019, a number of actors in government authorities, political parties, the media and civil society have described China’s investments as a potential security threat. Although less prominent in the public debate, business representatives have also become increasingly vocal about potential security risks associated with Chinese investment. The Swedish view of China seems to be aligning with what the EU has called its new “more realistic” approach to Beijing. Meanwhile, a number of policy processes have been launched which are likely to lead to the strengthening of existing legal frameworks to scrutinise Chinese investment and activity in Sweden, especially concerning critical infrastructure such as telecommunications networks, but also more generally concerning companies whose activities are regarded as sensitive from a security perspective.
Danmarks politik i forhold til kinesiske investeringer: Pragmatisk balancegang mellem voksende trusselsperspektiver
Authors: Jiang Yang
Published: February 2020

Igennem de sidste to år (2018–2019) er den førte danske politik i forhold til Kina blevet mere ambivalent. Særligt når det gælder kinesiske investeringer, er Danmark blevet mere forsigtig. Denne artikel undersøger hvilke faktorer, der har haft betydning for Danmarks skiftende politik i forhold til kinesiske investeringer, gennem to større case-studier: Kinesiske investeringer i Grønland og Huawei i Danmark. Kort fortalt udpeges her tre faktorer, der er afgørende for Danmarks politik i forhold til kinesiske investeringer: for det første landets langvarige økonomiske ideologi som en lille, åben økonomi, svarende til øvrige nordiske lande og som medlem af EU, med et pragmatisk behov for udenlandske markeder; for det andet en stærk, national tro på demokrati og statens forsvarsalliance med USA, herunder dets dedikerede medlemskab af NATO; og for det tredje opkomsten af fremmedfjendske og nationalistiske politiske partier, der udfordrer den tidligere mere afbalancerede og pragmatiske tilgang kendetegnende for større partier samt går ind for et mere anti-kinesisk standpunkt.
Abstract in English:Denmark’s Policy on Chinese Investments: Pragmatism Balancing with Increasing Threat PerspectivesDuring the past two years (2018–2019), Denmark’s policy towards China has become more ambivalent. In particular, Denmark has become more cautious about inward Chinese investments. This article examines the factors that have affected Denmark’s changing policy on Chinese investment, with two major case studies: Chinese investments in Greenland, and Huawei in Denmark. In a nutshell, it points out three decisive factors: first, the country’s long-term ideology as a small, open economy, similar to other Nordic countries and as a member of the EU, with a pragmatic need for foreign markets; second, a strong national belief in democracy and the state’s defense alliance with the United States, including its dedicated NATO membership; and third, the rise of xenophobic and nationalist political parties, challenging the earlier more balanced and pragmatic approach characteristic of larger parties as well as advocating a more anti-Chinese stance.
Introduksjon: Når geoøkonomi møter den nordiske modellen
Authors: Sverdrup-Thygeson Bjørnar , Sverdrup Ulf
Published: February 2020

De fem nordiske landene har alle gjort suksess som små og økonomisk åpne stater på verdensmarkedet. Denne åpenheten har tillatt kapital, varer og ideer å flyte relativt uhindret fra verdens økonomiske kraftsentre til Europas nordligste utkant. Kinas fremvekst som et økonomisk kraftsenter har imidlertid medført et nytt dilemma: Hvordan forholder man seg til en autoritær, men investeringsvillig, økonomisk stormakt man ikke har sikkerhetspolitisk samarbeid med? I denne fokusspalten presenterer forskere fra hvert av de nordiske landene hvordan debatten rundt dette dilemmaet har kommet til uttrykk i de ulike nordiske offentligheter. I sum fremviser de fem kapitlene noen brede nordiske fellestrekk. I alle land har sikkerhetsproblematikken ved kinesiske investeringer blitt mer fremtredende, men det har kommet til uttrykk på noe ulikt vis i henholdsvis dansk, finsk, islandsk, norsk og svensk debatt. Kapitlene viser samlet sett at det har skjedd en betydelig endring i de ulike nasjonale debattene. Denne endringen har skjedd både svært nylig, svært raskt og i stor grad samtidig på tvers av den nordiske offentligheten, i takt med at de nordiske landene har måttet tilpasse seg en internasjonal situasjon hvor økonomi og sikkerhetspolitikk i økende grad har blitt sammenflettet.
Abstract in English:Chinese Investments in the NordicsThe five Nordic countries have all enjoyed considerable success as small, economically open countries on the world market. This openness has allowed capital, goods and ideas to flow relatively unimpeded from the economic power centres of the world to the northernmost fringe of Europe. China’s rise as an economic hub has, however, resulted in a novel dilemma; how to relate to an authoritarian economic great power that is outside of one’s security alliances, but is very willing to invest. In this focus section, researchers from each of the Nordic countries present how the debate over this dilemma has proceeded in the respective Nordic publics. In sum, the five chapters demonstrate certain broad common traits amongst the Nordics. In all of the countries the potential security issues concerning Chinese investments have lately become a substantially more prominent feature of the national debate, although the modality of this shift showcases some slight varieties in the Danish, Finnish, Icelandic, Norwegian, and Swedish debates, respectively. The chapters demonstrate that there has been a substantial shift in the debate in all of the five public spheres. This shift has both happened quite recently, quite fast, and to a large extent quite simultaneously across all of the Nordic countries, as they have had to rapidly adjust to a new international environment where economy and security have become increasingly interlinked.
Norwegian art and crafts teachers’ conceptions of creativity
Authors: Olafsson Brynjar
Published: February 2020

This study investigates Norwegian art and crafts teachers’ conceptions of creativity through the responses to a questionnaire from 791 teachers in compulsory education. The curriculum in Norway for compulsory education emphasizes the development of creativity in the art and crafts field more than in the other core subjects. However, the curriculum does not offer a clear definition of creativity or how creativity-related goals should be reached. According to prior research, teachers express different ideas about what creativity involves, and their conceptual understanding can affect their teaching practices. Results indicate that teachers hold beliefs that are in misalignment with recent literature, and a better conceptual understanding could support them in emphasizing creativity in the classroom. This applies especially to individual creative capacity, assessment, and the role played by domain knowledge in education.

Portrayal of Masculinity in Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart
Authors: Siddique Md. Hasinur
Published: February 2020

The paper investigates the construction and representation of masculinity in Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart. The study digs underneath the structure and tradition of Igbo culture which celebrates the customs centered on male dominance.  The protagonist, Okonkwo turns to be the major focus of study who tries to maintain all the traits of masculinity with strict application. His extreme ‘macho man’ life rejects any practice which might associate him with his father. The text offers the motives behind Okonkwo’s sheer concern regarding preservation of male dominance. Achebe’s narrative of Okonkwo’s character associating description of physical power, wealth, authority and violence portrays the masculinity in Things Fall Apart. The description of wrestling, battles, yam feasts or Clan meeting upholds the supremacy of males sending all other ideals to the periphery.
‘GLOBAL NORTH AND GLOBAL SOUTH’: THE SIGNIFICANCE AND MEANING OF THESE TERMS FOR OUR UNDERSTANDING AND PRACTICE OF MISSION
Authors: NGURSANGZELI BEHERA Marina
Published: February 2020

The paper explores the metaphors of Global South and North. Looking at earlier terms such as the first, second and third world and identifying the changes coming with the shift of gravity in the World of Christianity and those after the year 1989 as important moments to start speaking of global Christianity, Global North and South, it is not the geography of places but the interrelations – economic, political, cultural, religious - of the various contexts which determine a meaningful usage of these terms. The interrelations are used as a background to discuss the paradigm of mission from the margins from the perspective of the author who hails from Northeast India - considered to be part of the global South – and working in a center for mission studies in the Global North.
SPIRITUAL CARE FOR THE ELDERLY: OFFERING THE OPPORTUNITY TO TALK ABOUT DEATH
Authors: BRANDT Pierre-Yves , DANDAROVA ROBERT Zhargalma , LAUBSCHER Karine
Published: February 2020

To speak of the Romanian village today is to consider a reality of life populated more and more by elderly people and children whose parents work outside the home, in town, or even abroad. The quality of life of the elderly remaining in the village is, in this context, a major concern for the political authorities and religious leaders. Indeed, many studies have shown that taking into account the religious and spiritual dimension contributes to the well-being of seniors. Recent research in Switzerland has highlighted the fact that many elderly people who live in senior care facilities are interested in talking about death with someone they trust. This trusted person is not necessarily the priest or chaplain. For many residents, this role is given to someone within the elderly person’s network of family and friends (spouse, daughter, niece, close friend, etc.). What happens when this network is empty and the elderly person is more isolated? We propose to think about how these observations can be transposed into a practice of spiritual care adapted to the context of the Romanian village.

In-service Home Economics Teachers’ Attitudes to the Integration of Sustainable Topics in the Home Economics Subject
Authors: Erjavšek Martina , Lovšin Kozina Francka , Kostanjevec Stojan
Published: February 2020

Education for sustainable development is essential for the well-being of present and future generations and is one of the key objectives in the discipline of home economics. The purpose of this research was to ascertain whether in-service teachers of home economics recognise the opportunities to educate students about sustainable development in their courses and if they can identify the topics related to sustainable development that they can integrate into the subject of home economics. To determine this, a study using a questionnaire with a non-random sample of 89 Slovenian in-service home economics teachers was conducted. The results were qualitatively and quantitatively analysed. According to the research results, in-service home economics teachers understand that the topics of the subject promote education for sustainable development. They see the most opportunities for integrating sustainable topics arising in the fields of food and living environments, and less in economics and textiles. This is evident because sustainability topics are predominantly connected to food and the living environment classes in the current education system. Based on the research results, it can be deduced that in-service home economics teachers should be offered ongoing professional development in order to achieve the competences needed to teach sustainable development as part of the home economics subject. The need to update the curriculum of this subject has emerged as it offers numerous opportunities to educate the young in topics related to sustainable living.

El 26 de septiembre del año 2014 en la ciudad mexicana de Iguala, 43 estudiantes de la Escuela Normal Rural Raúl Isidro Burgos del pueblo de Ayotzinapa, fueron desaparecidos. El caso tuvo amplia repercusión local e internacional. Expresiones de dolor, indignación, pero también de lucha, solidaridad y empatía pudieron observarse a través de numerosas jornadas de acción en las calles y en las redes sociales, que se sucedieron en los meses siguientes a la tragedia. En este trabajo, analizaremos desde la perspectiva de los estudios de la cultura visual y la práctica de activismo artístico, tres dispositivos emergentes de esta coyuntura, que consideramos conforman desde entonces, la matriz visual más icónica y simbólica para representar a los normalistas: el número 43, los pupitres y las fotografías de sus rostros.
Evitas queer en las calles de Buenos Aires
Authors: Croizet Maria Florencia
Published: February 2020

Eva Perón (1919-1952), política argentina reconocida a nivel internacional, se ha convertido en un ícono queer. Desde tal resignificación, diversxs artistas han producido obras que tienen a Evita como su protagonista, históricamente relegados al underground cultural. Sin embargo, a lo largo de 2019, centenario del natalicio de Evita, diversas performances colectivas tuvieron lugar en las calles de Buenos Aires; en las cuales, militantes peronistas, feministas y de las disidencias sexuales le rindieron homenaje y manifestaron su apoyo a la fórmula peronista que competirá en las próximas elecciones presidenciales. Por tanto, el objetivo del presente artículo es explorar el devenir social y artístico en el que las performances queer sobre Eva comenzaron a abandonar lentamente la marginalidad cultural hasta aparecer en el centro porteño, a plena luz del día.

The Fusion of Competence and Integrity Problems in Transformation of Public Human Resources Management Model
Authors: Dahlan Dahlan , Fatmawada Fatmawada
Published: February 2020

The limited quality of human resource management in the Biak Numfor Regency in Papua requires fundamental transformation. Based on available data, the determinants that reject the transformation process include two categories, namely, lack of competence and integrity. This study uses a post-positivistic interpretive phenomenological philosophy that emphasizes the meaning and descriptive process to understand the process of transformation. Local government leaders who are not trustworthy in applying the concept of human resource management based on the Cakar thesis latently significantly affect the integrity of the domestic apparatus. That has an impact on the lack of credibility of the Biak Regional Human Resources Development Agency. In short, increasing the competency of human resources as an effort to produce adequate human resources in this region becomes an important key for successful transformation.
