Authors: Wu Finch C.-T. , Hong Oscar N.-J. , Trappey Amy J.C. , Trappey Charles V.
Published: September 2020

Chatbot is a conversational question answering (Q&A) system capable of natural language communication between a computer system and a person. The use of chatbots for 24-hour customer service provides quick responses that solve problems online. This approach is quickly becoming a convenient way for companies to enhance their customer services without location or knowledgeable staff limitations. This research proposes a system framework and develops a prototype virtual reality (VR) enabled transformer mass-customization consultation chatbot. The chatbot technique is a retrieval-based intelligent system. First, thousands of transformer specific frequently asked questions (FAQs) are collected as a Q&A dataset for technical supports retrieval. More than 1.2 million engineering Wikipedia pages and engineering technical papers are used to train a word embedding model used for natural language processing and question-answer retrieval. The chatbot is integrated into a virtual reality (VR) immersive user interface (UI) environment enabling users to make transformer design changes while querying the system about specifications and standards while interacting with 3D models from the company’s knowledge base archive. The system provides two unique UIs for personal computer (PC) and a helmet-based immersive interface. The system supports real-time consultation of mass-customized transformers and their bills of materials (BOM) for design review, analysis and cost estimation.

Published: September 2020

The market demands have pushed the industries to create products to be more innovative and with less time to launch. This situation pressures the entire product life cycle, from its design and manufacturing to the delivery to the market, requiring greater speed and precision in each of these phases. The first stage of the cycle affected by this trend is the development of new products, an interactive, complex engineering and decision-making process. In this sense, it is necessary to know the main agents and actors involved in this process of developing new products and how they interact with each other so that, with this understanding, it is possible to determine the main uncertainties to be mitigated within the earlier stages and avoid potential risk for the subsequent phases of the PDP. By using the PROMETHEE (Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluation) and GAIA (Geometrical Analysis for Interactive Aid) methods, this paper proposes a comparative model selecting the main components of the product development process, indicating how the interaction between them may minimize the uncertainties in the earlier stages of the PDP.

Published: September 2020

Food safety has always been the focus of public concern. Assessment of the impact of food safety news constituents an important job of the government departments. In this paper we present a method using stacking ensemble learning to assess the impact level of global food safety news. The news used for training the assessment model is collected from the Chinese customs. Each of the news articles is annotated with a label ranging from low impact, medium impact and high impact by the customs officials. For base learners in the ensemble learning model, we use Naive Bayesian, Support Vector Machine, XGBoost, FastText, Convolutional Neural Network, LSTM and BERT. A Naive Bayesian-based meta learner is used to integrate the assessment results of the base learners. The proposed method features end to end prediction of news impact using the original news text as input, and it advances the transdisciplinary development of artificial intelligence and risk assessment by improving the accuracy of impact assessment of food safety news compared with traditionally used methods.

Proposal of the Coupled Thermomechanical Model of a Crank Mechanism
Authors: Chilinski Bogumil , Mackojc Anna
Published: September 2020

The aim of the paper is to propose analytical coupled thermomechanical model of the crankshaft system, which includes the mutual interaction between thermodynamic and mechanical phenomena occurring in engines. The most relevant dynamic effects observable in the crank system are connected with its kinematics. When the mechanism operates there are also additional effects corresponding with stress, strain and thermal fields. Elastic properties of the system parts and changeable stiffness of the fuel-air mixture cause different dynamics of the entire device. The authors assumed that rigid motion of the crank mechanism, parts deformation and thermodynamic effects and their mutual dependencies will be included in the modelling process. Elasticity of the crankshaft system components is the reason for the difference between a rigid ’ideal’ motion and the real movement of crankshaft elements. In most cases, it is enough to assume linear elastic material features based on the relatively high stiffness of the system preventing big deformations. This ensures small displacements and the correctness of the applied model. The performed investigations have shown an influence of the crank system flexibility on the overall device response. Moreover, the parameters that change due to thermodynamic and mechanical properties of the working medium were taken into account. The authors have applied simple engine cycles (Otto, Diesel or combined model) for determining engine load including the connection between mechanical and thermodynamic state variables. This caused another decrease of the total system stiffness. Further numerical testing proved a visible effect of the applied approach in the global system response. The main discrepancies are observable in natural frequencies and vibration modes. It can also be stated that the utilization of different engine cycles results in different engine features. The paper is concluded with an analysis of the existing systems and mutual reactions from the assumed phenomena. The authors have shown the necessity to take a transdisciplinary approach into account in order to model complex systems.
An Approach for Agile Engineering Change Management Within Global Product Development
Authors: Riascos Roberto , Ostrosi Egon , Sagot Jean-Claude , Stjepandić Josip
Published: September 2020

Engineering Change Management (ECM) is an essential constituent of any product development project, these project are highly dynamic process of knowledge generation and reuse for products, projects, processes and resources within a enterprise. Currently, ECM is fully document-, and at least partially paper-based, and needs to be transformed to a fully model-based standard workflow. Changes, uncertainty and hidden processes should be seen as regular events. For the agile process, a rapid and flexible handling of task items is necessary. Due to the unpredictable character and short time of singular task items, we have developed a new approach to collect all changes to a superordinate, master change note as a standard, common object in the product structure, and to and update this master change note as often as necessary. This change note is assigned to a product during its entire lifecycle. It collects changes in the product and related processes and equipment. We present a new approach in order to facilitate a full object-oriented support of all activities related to the change process. On each update, singular task items can be re-prioritized within this master change note according to the current needs.

Published: September 2020

In this paper, the researchers have described the development program used for the internal quality auditors of Company A. This program was developed to increase the competency of the auditors so that they could effectively conduct both internal and external audits. The competency of the auditors was an important requirement according to the various management standards like the ISO 14001:2015, ISO9001:2015, IATF 16949:2016, ISO45001:2018 and IECQ QC 0800000. Furthermore, this program exposed all the auditors to the internal audits according to the requirements of the ISO 9001 standards and the in-process quality audits, which were divided into 6 areas for 8 months. For ensuring the success of the program, 15% of the auditors’ Key Responsibility Areas (KRA) were attributed to their performance and their contribution to the general internal auditing program. The different Subject Matter Experts (SME) trained the auditors based on the requirements of the managing standards and their auditing skills. A monitoring technique was established for assessing the competency level of the auditors. The auditors, who showed a good performance in these programs, were recommended to partake in the Lead Assessors program and were asked to audit local or internal- external suppliers.

Bentuk kesalahan kalimat efektif merupakan kesalahan pada kalimat yang tidak lugas, ambigu, tidak jelas, berbelit-belit, dan tidak sejajar. Terdapat pula kesalahan yang dilakukan oleh mahasiswa namun di tempat lain benar menuliskannya. Hal ini menunjukkan ketidakkonsistenan mahasiswa dalam berbahasa. Sikap seperti ini merupakan sikap bahasa yang negatif. Sebagian kasus menunjukkan bahwa sebenarnya mahasiswa mengetahui kesalahannya tapi enggan atau tidak peduli dengan hal yang sepele. Jika dibiarkan maka lambat laun bahasa Indonesia yang sesuai dengan aturan akan memudar digantikan oleh bahasa yang tanpa aturan baku.
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND CYBERCULTURE
Authors: Wawrzynski Tomasz
Published: September 2020

Artificial intelligence and cyberculture adopt our values. The world of cyberspace has developed new standards of cooperation and communication. A huge number of Internet users use many services on the Internet. This has led to a revision of many deadlines, such as cooperation, organization of leisure time, the resolution of official matters. Millions of people around the world belong to various supranational social organizations and platforms. Artificial intelligence collects all the information about us and our actions on the Internet. Cyberculture arose spontaneously, ignoring nationality or religion, ignoring the geography of the world, and ignoring a person's physical boundaries or financial status, linguistic differences, or cultural affiliation in the modern sense. All components of culture have been ignored by her, and the conditions in the era of virtual reality are very favorable for its development. It is even becoming a mind on a global scale: Internet users often physically stay in a certain place, but their mind is already fixed in cyberspace. Often virtual reality seems to promise us more than it can give. Direct communication in cyberspace gives us a sense of "here and there", a sense of intimacy, but that intimacy is not filled with the physical and emotional presence of a real person. The changes that are taking place in cyberspace with the help of artificial intelligence, which works on the basis of data that each user enters into the network, are actively discussed. Cyberculture is also the subject of much research and is a much deeper concept than just a combination of culture and technology. Although there is still no institutional framework and codified appropriate terminology to confirm this new phenomenon. The birth of a new culture is extremely interesting. The main purpose of the publication is to draw attention to a very interesting process of development of a new culture - cyberculture, which arose from a combination of artificial intelligence and analytical computer science. The paper analyses interaction and interconnection of cyberculture and modern information technologies and science.

Tidak ada agama di dunia ini yang mengajarkan thaharah yang begitu sempurna melainkan ajaran agama Islam. Sebab thaharah dalam Islam mencakup kesucian atau kebersihan dan kesehatan, bahkan Syekh Ali Ahmad al-Jarjawi menyatakan bahwa thaharah mengandung empat tingkatan adalah [1] Pembersihan jasmani dari kotoran dan najis, [2] Pembersihan anggotaanggota badan dari dosa-dosa yang timbul darinya seperti dosa tangan dengan mencuri atau dosa mata dengan pandangan, dosa kaki dengan berjalan kepada tempat yang haram dan lain sebagainya, [3] Pembersihan hati dari segala sifat yang tercela, [4] Pembersihan hati dari selain Allah, thaharah pada tingkat ini adalah thaharahnya para Nabi dan Rasul.
Musibah dalam Perspektif Hadis
Authors: Awaliah Lia
Published: September 2020

Pembahasan musibah tidak lepas dari bencana, pembahasan musibah terdapat pada Alquran dan Hadis, musibah yang terjadi sering dikaitkan karena adanya sebab akibat dari ulah manusia itu sendiri, dari pernyataan tersebut masyarakat mengira bahwa bencana yang sering terjadi setiap tahunnya disebabkan oleh azab yang diturunkan oleh Allah SWT untuk menegur manusia.

bencana atau musibah terjadi bukan hanya karena ulah tangan manusia, melainkan ada faktor alam dan takdir yang menyebabkan adanya bencana yang menimpa manusia di muka bumi. Tetapi meskipun begitu manusia harus tetap menjaga lingkungan agar dapat meminimalisir bencana yang sewaktu-waktu terjadi tanpa bisa diprediksi oleh tekhnologi.

Adapun sikap yang harus manusia ambil dalam menghadapi bencana yaitu, seperti ridha dan ikhlas terhadap segala ketetapan yang telah Allah SWT turunkan kepada manusia, mencari pelajaran atau hikmah atas bencana yang menimpa manusia, baik karena faktor alam atau karena ulah tangan manusia. Selain itu, manusia harus memiliki sikap empati terhadap muslim lainnya dan mendoakan yang terbaik atas takdir yang diberikan Allah SWT kepada manusia, karena sesama muslim adalah saudara.
Konsep Reward dan Punishment dalam Pendidikan Menurut Hadis
Authors: Handayani Sri , Khasanah Ruliana , Hanifah Rahmi
Published: September 2020

Reward and punishment are methods can be applied in educating children, both given by teachers and parents. Reward is an educational reaction to the good deeds that have been done by students. Reward as a methode of motivating children to do good and improve their achievements. Reward given is a pleasant feeling that gives rise to the desire in the child to do good and better things in the future, but not to thicken the maternal nature. In contrast to the opposite, punishment is a sanction given to the child when making mistake. In Islamic eduaction the punishment is positive, not least because they want to provide true eduaction to children so that they are aware and responsible for what they do, and do not repeat the same mistakes again.
Conservation Agriculture: An Agroecological Approach to Adapting and Mitigating Climate Change Impacts on Malawi’s Agriculture
Authors: M. Ogunmodede Adewale
Published: September 2020

Although Africa’s contribution to the world’s greenhouse gas emission is the smallest compared to other continents, yet they tend to be affected most by the variability in Climate. Malawi is not an exception to this climate change, as they are not just faced with rising temperatures and variable rainfall patterns, but with reoccurring droughts and severe flooding. Agriculture has been noted to contribute significantly to not only climate change but also has significant impacts on global warming through its greenhouse gas emissions. Nevertheless, not all farming systems impact negatively on climate change. Conservation Agriculture is a farming system that encourages no or minimum soil disturbance, maintenance of a permanent soil cover, and diversification of crop species. These three interlinked principles combined with good agricultural practices promote biodiversity and normal biotic processes, both on and under the ground surface, thereby increasing the productivity and nutrient use efficiency of water, into a more resilient farming system which will help sustain and improve agricultural production. This review looks at Conservation Agriculture practices in the Machinga Agricultural Development Division of Malawi and its role in climate change mitigation and adaptation. This paper shows that Conservation Agriculture has played an active role in the adaptation and mitigation of climate change effect by reducing atmospheric greenhouse gas emissions but suggested there is a need for the government to formulate a CA framework that is founded on the three interlinked principles and not just based on soil and water conservation principles which are currently being advocated and practised.

Authors: Adesola Wojuade Christopher , Christianah Onatade Feyikemi
Published: September 2020

The study evaluates passengers’ satisfaction with the service quality of international airlines at Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, Nigeria. The study randomly selects 4 out of 27 international airlines operating at the airport for the survey. A purposive sampling technique was employed to select 100 respondents in each of the airlines since the study population could not be ascertained. A structured questionnaire was administered on the passengers when waiting to board the aircraft to elicit information on their travel characteristics and perceived satisfaction with the services rendered by the airlines using a five-point Likert scale. The data collected on passengers’ satisfaction with the airline’s service quality was analyzed using the servqual model while multiple regression model was used to predict the effect of service quality dimensions on passengers’ satisfaction with the airlines. The result of the servqual model shows that the passenger satisfaction rating of reliability dimension (0.66) is the highest followed by responsiveness (0.52), empathy (0.52), tangible (0.41), and assurance (0.36) has the least rating. Similarly, the result of regression model reveals that the coefficients of four dimensions reliability (β = 0.683; p ≤ 0.01), empathy (β = 0.656; p ≤ 0.01), responsiveness (β = 0.409; p ≤ 0.01) and tangible (β = 0.364; p ≤ 0.01) had statistically significant influence on passengers’ satisfaction of the airlines. The study concludes that service quality influences passengers’ satisfaction with international airline operations in Nigeria. The study recommends useful policy actions aimed at improving service quality to allow airlines to enjoy continuous loyalty and patronage by the passengers.

Authors: Muhammad Nawawi  , Ana Christanti
Published: September 2020

The objective of the research was to promote a new model of designing activities in the lesson plan of English teachers. The model was derived from the phases of the Multiliteracy pedagogical Framework. It was qualitative research with documentation techniques for collecting data. The source of data was the document of lesson plans made by teachers of English. The data was statements on teaching-learning activities in the lesson plans. The author identified the lesson plan of teachers from Al Islam senior high school in Krian, Sidoarjo. The activities statements were categorized using the four phases and cognitive process of the Multiliteracy Framework; Situated Practice (Experiencing), Overt Instruction (Conceptualizing), Critical Framing (Analysis), and Transformed Practice (Applying) promoted by Cope and Kalantzis with New London Group in 1996.  The result showed that the teachers just included two phases; Situated Practice (Experiencing) and Overt Instruction (Conceptualizing), no Overt Instruction (Conceptualizing), Critical Framing (Analysis), and Transformed Practice (Applying) yet in their teaching-learning activities. The teachers should change the old phases in their lesson plan with the four phases of the framework to guide them in applying multiliteracy in English language teaching. The next researcher could focus on teachers’ knowledge or belief about the multiliteracy framework to assure the implementation

"Cold energy" refers to a potential to generate power by utilizing the exergy of cryogenic systems, like Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), using it as the cold side of a thermodynamic cycle, while the hot side can be even on the ambient temperature. For this purpose, the cryogenic Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) is one type of promising solution with comprehensive benefits to generate electricity. The performance of this cycle depends on the applied working fluid. This paper focuses on the applicability of some natural working fluids and analyzes their performance upon cold energy utilization in the LNG regasification system. An alternative method, the cryogenic Trilateral Flash Cycle (TFC), is also presented here. The selection of working fluid is a multi-step process; the first step uses thermodynamic criteria, while the second one is addressing environmental and safety issues. It will be shown that in LNG regasification systems, single cryogenic ORC performs higher net output power and net efficiency compared to single cryogenic TFC. Propane as working fluid in the single cryogenic ORC generates the highest net output power and net efficiency. It is demonstrated, that concerning 26 novel LNG terminals, a net power output around 320 MW could be recovered from the cold energy by installing a simple cycle, namely a single-step cryogenic ORC unit using propane as working fluid.

Patient Transportation During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Tangkulpanich Panvilai , Boriboon Jeeranun , Ararmvanich Kasamon
Published: September 2020

Coronavirus disease 2019 or COVID-19 can be transmitted by several methods, which are droplet, contact, and aerosol transmission. This emerging infectious disease has no specific treatment, vaccines, or medical prophylaxis. As a result, health care workers have a higher risk of infection, especially on inter-hospital patient transferring, which causes the close-contact situation in confined space without good ventilating airflow. Proper pre-transferring evaluation of the patient and equipment preparation is essential for preventing unpredicted events that cause aerosol-generating procedures (AGP). Thus, if a patient is at risk of deterioration between transferring, early intubation in hospital is preferred due to better infection controls. Bronchodilators should be given by metered-dose inhaler (MDI) via spacer instead of nebulization. Furthermore, considering the safety of health care personnel, suitable personal protective equipment (PPE) is critical in the scarce situation, which is as vital as the standard of practice and training on the operations, communications, and cleanings.
MONISTIC THEORY OF HUMAN RIGHTS AND PARALYSIS OF SECURITY SYSTEMS – THE CASE OF ILLEGAL MIGRATION
Authors: SVETLIČ ROK
Published: September 2020

Povzetek V prispevku analiziramo posebna tveganja, povezana s temeljnim delovanjem države, ki niso posledica neučinkovitosti oblasti, temveč njene ohromljenosti s pravnega vidika. Z razlago pravnih aktov v družbeno resničnost vstopi ideološki program, ki ni združljiv s temeljnimi postulati liberalne demokracije. Posledično so varnostni organi ohromljeni pri opravljanju svojih nalog, saj so obravnavani kot potencialni kršitelji človekovih pravic. Rešitve za to ni mogoče iskati na zakonodajni ravni, temveč na ravni kompleksne teorije, ki temelji na spoznanju, da je demokracija nezdružljiva s pasivnostjo in ohromljenostjo represivnih organov, pa tudi z njihovimi ekscesi. Ključne besede Filozofija prava, človekove pravice, varnostni organi, ilegalne migracije. Abstract This article analyzes the specific risks that concern the basic functioning of the state which are not the result of the inefficiency of the authorities but of their legal paralysis. Through the interpretation of legal acts, an ideological agenda which is incompatible with the fundamental postulates of liberal democracy enters social reality. Consequently, security authorities are paralyzed in performing their tasks, as they are treated as potential violators of human rights. The solution cannot be sought at a legislative level, but at the level of a complex theory, based on the realization that democracy is incompatible with the passivity and paralysis of repressive authorities, as well as with their excesses. Key words Philosophy of law, human rights, security authorities, illegal migration.
JOINT CIVIL-MILITARY INTERACTION AS A TOOL IN RESPONDING TO HYBRID THREATS

Povzetek
Aktualna osredotočenost na hibridne grožnje in asimetrično bojevanje se morda zdi komaj kaj več kot le vrnitev v preteklost. Kako daleč v preteklost pa je treba iti, da prepoznamo resnico? Številne doktrine in teorije iz industrijske dobe danes več ne veljajo. Treba se je bolj usmeriti k algoritmu kot vodilu za ukrepanje in ne ostati pri statični paradigmi. Združena interakcija civilnega in vojaškega področja je ena izmed možnosti, ki omogoča odprto varnostno kodo za združevanje strokovnjakov in strokovnega znanja na zahtevo ter ob pravem času. Treba je torej združiti prizadevanja in izboljšati mednarodne mehanizme kriznega upravljanja, da bi zagotovili hitrejši, natančnejši in učinkovitejši odziv. Geografija ne zagotavlja več varnosti. V krizi ni pomembno, iz katere smeri prihaja grožnja. Vsi smo v istem čolnu ali na vesoljski ladji Zemlja.
Ključne besede
Asimetrično bojevanje, vojaške doktrine, hibridne grožnje, interakcija civilnega in vojaškega področja, odpornost, solidarnost, končno stanje, način razmišljanja.
Abstract
The current focus on hybrid threats and asymmetric warfare can seem little more than a return to the past. How far into the past should we go to recognize this truth? Many doctrines and theories from the Industrial Age are not valid today. We need to move closer to the algorithm as a guide to action rather than remaining stuck using a static paradigm. Joint Civil-Military Interaction is one option offering an open security code, combining experts and expertise on demand and on time. We must unite our efforts, and improve international mechanisms of crisis management to respond faster, more accurately, and more efficiently. Geography no longer provides security. In a crisis, it does not matter from which direction the threat comes. We are all in the same boat or on Spaceship Earth.

Key words
Asymmetric warfare, military doctrines, hybrid threats, civil-military interaction, resilience, solidarity, end state, way of thinking.
THE CHANGED CHARACTER OF WAR AND THE TRANSFORMATION OF INFANTRY SQUAD, PLATOON AND COMPANY
Authors: POTOČNIK VIKTOR
Published: September 2020

Povzetek V članku je predstavljen model transformacije pehotnega oddelka, voda in čete. Članek se začne z ugotovitvijo, da se je karakter vojne v 21. stoletju spremenil, in ugotavlja tudi, v katerih elementih. Pri tem izhaja iz predpostavke, da so trenutni pehotni oddelek, vod in četa v večini vojsk Nata utemeljeni na karakterju bojevanja iz obdobja obeh svetovnih vojn. Ker se je spremenil bojevanja, bi bilo logično, da so se spremenili tudi pehotni oddelek, vod in četa v smislu doktrine, organizacije, kulture, usposabljanja, tehnologije itn. Toda, kot ugotavljam v članku na podlagi študije primera kopenske vojske ZDA, večinoma ni tako. Zato je v članku na podlagi transformacijske teorije predstavljen model razmišljanja o nujnih spremembah. Ključne besede Pehotni oddelek, pehotni vod, pehotna četa, karakter vojne, transformacijska teorija. Abstract This article offers a model for transforming the infantry squad, platoon and company. It begins by establishing the elements of the changed character of war in the 21st century, the assumption being that the basis for the current infantry squad, platoon and company, in NATO armies, lies in the character of war as it was during the two World Wars. Since the character of war has changed, it should be logical that this is also the case with infantry squad, platoon and company in terms of their doctrine, organization, culture, training, technology, and so on. However, as the article shows, using a US case study, this is not quite the case, so the article uses transformation theory to offer a model of thinking about the necessary changes. Key words Infantry squad, infantry platoon, infantry company, character of war, transformation theory,
HUNGARY’S LEGAL EFFORTS TO STRENGTHEN CLIMATE RESILIENCE

Povzetek
Tudi Madžarski je, podobno kot drugim državam, vse pomembneje, da ima ustrezno podlago za prilagajanje na ekstremne vremenske pojave, ki jih povzročajo podnebne spremembe. Kot strateški odziv na te izzive je bilo v zadnjem času razvitih več pravnih in tehničnih predpisov. V tem procesu sodeluje tudi obrambni resor, zato so v prispevku na primeru madžarskih obrambnih sil izpostavljeni primarna okolijska tveganja, povezana z vojsko, in nekatere možnosti za »bolj zeleno« delovanje oboroženih sil. Majhna država, kot je Madžarska, teh neželenih globalnih procesov ne more ustaviti, si pa prizadeva omiliti posledice in se čim bolj prilagoditi spremembam. Tako lahko tudi poveča svojo odpornost na podnebne spremembe.

Ključne besede
Podnebne spremembe, prilagajanje, odpornost, bojevanje, varnost.

Abstract
It has become important for Hungary, like other countries, to have a proper background in order to adapt to extreme weather phenomena caused by climate change. Several legal and technical regulations have been developed recently as strategic answers to these challenges. The defence sector also takes part in this process, so this paper highlights the primary environmental risks concerning the military, and presents some possibilities for the armed forces to be “greener”, based on the example of the Hungarian Defence Forces. A small country such as Hungary, of course, cannot stop these unwanted global processes; the goal is to ease the consequences and adapt to the changes as much as possible in order to increase climate resilience.
