Authors: Suzana Ariffin Aini , Puteh Marlia , Gul Bizanjo Mah
Published: December 2020

Today, the great economists and industrialists assume that the world is on the brink of another industrial revolution, referred to as the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR). The digital transformation is more profound in the manufacturing sector, hence the reference to Industries 4.0 or Industry 4.0. Industry 4.0 is taken seriously at the national and organizational levels as well as at the global arena. Recognizing the urgency in aligning the Malaysian agenda with digital transformation, the Malaysian government has launched the National Industry 4WRD Strategy in 2019. This macro strategy aims to defend the national economy from a disruption in the aftermath of Industry 4.0. The Malaysian Technology Development Corporation, an agency under the Ministry of International Trade & Industry, has aligned several national policies relating to Industry 4WRD. This way, the organization will better promote local technopreneurs’ growth and sustainability according to Industry 4.0 standards. This paper’s objectives are twofold: 1) to gauge the outlook of management towards Industry 4.0 through interviews and; 2) to evaluate the core management competencies in the Industry 4.0 domain. A qualitative approach is utilized in analyzing the interviews with senior and middle-level managers. The paper highlights the importance of specific management skills in setting the agenda for skills growth to reposition Industry 4.0.

WEST BANGKA JERIENG MALAY AND POLITICAL IDENTITY UNITY
Authors: Zaini Nur
Published: December 2020

Political identity refers to a group or individual whose existence is seen through the symbols that indicate the existence of a particular group or individual. These symbols are in the forms of ethnic group, ethnicity, religion, language, culture, custom, habit, and party color. Political identity is a construction that determines the position of the subject's interest within the ties of the political community. This study aims to describe the characteristics and to find out the attempts conducted by Jerieng Malay ethnic group in order to strengthen their existence as a political identity unit. This study applied the theory of political identity proposed by T. K. Oommen who uses the term ethnification in the study of ethnic group and its dynamics. According to him, ethnification is a process that attempts to connect territory and culture. The method used in this study wasdescriptive qualitative. Further, the result of this study shows that in the process of characteristic development and the strengthening attempt conducted by Jerieng Malay ethnic group, there has been a re-ethnification in which the ethnification is not fully developed. Ethnification within the Jerieng Malay ethnic group is still fragmented in which a particular group has attempted to re-ethnize the local identity. However, this generates a fragmentation in society as the consequence of the deprivation of the historical division of local identity.
POLEMIK EKSTRAKSI LOGAM TANAH JARANG (STUDI TERHADAP PERENCANAAN POLITIK PEMERINTAH PROVINSI BANGKA BELITUNG)
Authors: Aulia Dini
Published: December 2020

Pulau Bangka dan Pulau Belitung merupakan penyumbang hasil pertambangan timah terbesar bagi Indonesia. Dalam aktivitas penambangan timah yang dilakukan di Kepulauan Bangka Belitung ternyata timah menghasilkan mineral ikutan atau disebut sebagai produk sampingan timah berupa kandungan mineral seperti zircon, monasit, dan xenotim, yang dinamakan sebagai logam tanah jarang (LTJ). Hasil mineral ikutan tersebut ternyata mempunyai ragam polemik dalam tahap perencanaan serta pengelolaannya yang disebut sebagai “konflik mineral LTJ”. Adapun tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menggambarkan perencanaan pemerintah Provinsi Bangka Belitung dalam pengelolaan logam tanah jarang (LTJ) dan mengidentifikasi tantangan dalam pengelolaan logam tanah jarang (LTJ) di Provinsi Bangka Belitung. Penelitian ini menggunakan teori James E. Anderson tentang proses kebijakan publik. Teori ini menjelaskan ada tiga tahapan dalam perumusan kebijakan yaitu formulasi masalah, formulasi kebijakan, dan penentuan kebijakan. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif deskriptif. Adapun data primernya diperoleh dari hasil wawancara dengan informan yang berjumlah 8 orang yang berasal dari Distamben, BAPPEDA, Dinas Lingkungan Hidup, Wakil Gubernur, WALHI, Dosen, serta pengusaha tambang. Hasil penelitian ini menjelaskan bahwa perencanaan kebijakan terkait pengelolaan LTJ sudah mulai dilakukan, namun akan memerlukan beberapa tahapan lainnya serta kerja sama dari stakeholder yang berkaitan dengan pertambangan. Tantangan dalam pengelolaan LTJ juga menjadi hal yang harus dihadapi seperti dampak lingkungan yang akan ditimbulkan dari zat radioaktif yang terkandung dalam mineral LTJ, keterbatasan sumber daya manusia (SDM) dalam pengelolaan proses pemisahan mineral LTJ, serta keterbatasan teknologi juga menjadi tantangan dalam pengelolaan LTJ di Provinsi Bangka Belitung.

CYBERSECURITY OF "SMART CITIES": SOCIAL ASPECTS, RISKS OF DEANONYMIZATION AND DOXING
Authors: Boyko V. , Vasilenko M.
Published: December 2020

The paper analyzes possible risks and threats posed by the transition from modern cities to smart cities. The concept and scheme of doxing implementation are analyzed. Moreover, the essence of deanonymization is revealed and threats to the privacy and security of smart city residents associated with these processes are identified. Furthermore, the reasons for the growth of doxing practice are clarified. The social aspect of the cybersecurity of a smart city is seen primarily in the increased risks of privacy disclosure, which can lead to deanonymization, which can later be used for doxing, cyberbullying, blackmail or social engineering schemes. This demands that personal data must not only be protected by reliable cryptographic and technical measures but also - where it allows by work tasks - be specifically or partially impersonalised. Also, when planning personal data protection in smart city informational ecosystems, it should be considered that such protection will be existing in the context of an overall eco-information system of the city. Therefore, the one's always set priorities balanced between data protection, identify threats, measures and mechanisms for their implementation and daily routine tasks of system administration. The article analyzes cases and schemes of deanonymization, shows the vulnerability of modern information and communication systems to obtain data that can be used by an attacker. Based on the analysis and taking into account the specifics of the functioning of information ecosystems of smart cities, the main recommendations for protecting data stored in information systems are developed and systematized, which will reduce the risks of hacking such data and minimize harm from deanonymization and doxing. Finally, the authors proved that deanonymization is a sequential hacking process, and doxing is a hacking process and publishing private information. Such information can be obtained by collecting and analyzing open ("white"), stolen ("black") and stolen by third parties, but conditionally freely available ("Gray") sources of information. With the development of the smart city infrastructure, the amount of information collected, stored and processed will grow. This will lead to an increase in the "digital footprint" of every user of information system, that is, almost everyone who lives in the city.

Understanding Iran-Hamas Relations from a Defensive Neo-Realist Approach
Authors: ABO REZEG Ali
Published: December 2020

This paper aims at understanding the dynamics behind the Iranian support for the Sunni Palestinian group Hamas by analyzing the mutual relations from a defensive neo-realist approach. The paper begins with a historical overview of Iran-Hamas relations and the periods that saw these relations being improved or deteriorated. It then addresses the defensive neo-realist approach in terms of the basic ideas proposed by Kenneth Waltz, the founder of the theory of neo-realism, and the differences between his view and the offensive approach suggested by John Mearsheimer and others. The third part of the paper examines the defensive neo-realist analysis on the relation between states and non-state actors by testing Iran as an inspector for soft power in the Sunni-majority region, and, the probable threat that can be defended by this relation. It also deals with the difficulties averting Iran from becoming the sole hegemon in the region and how Iran takes advantage of this relationship to maintain a dominant role in the Middle East and how the latest rapprochement between two Gulf countries and Israel would contribute to consolidate that relation.

Published: December 2020

There is a strong biological rationale for the augmentation of allogeneic natural killer (NK) cell therapies with a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) to enhance acute myeloid leukemia (AML) targeting. CD38 is an established immunotherapeutic target in multiple myeloma and under investigation as a target antigen in AML. CD38 expression on NK cells and its further induction during ex vivo NK cell expansion represent barriers to the development of a CD38 CAR-NK cell therapy. We set out to develop a CD38 CAR-NK cell therapy for AML, first by using an NK cell line which has low baseline CD38 expression and subsequently NK cells expanded from healthy donors. To overcome anticipated fratricide due to NK cell CD38 expression when using primary expanded NK cells, we applied CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing to disrupt the CD38 gene during expansion, achieving a mean knockdown efficiency of 84%. The resulting CD38 knockdown expanded NK cells, after expression of an affinity optimized CD38 CAR, showed reduced NK-cell fratricide and an enhanced ability to target primary AML blasts. Furthermore, the cytotoxic potential of CD38 CAR-NK cells was augmented by pretreatment of the AML cells with all-trans retinoic acid which drove enhanced CD38 expression, offering a rational combination therapy. These findings support the further investigation of CD38 knockdown - CD38 CAR-NK cells as a viable immunotherapeutic approach to the treatment of AML.

Authors: Javaid Ahmad Andrabi
Published: December 2020

The population growth and distribution has attracted increasing attention from geographers and planners in India from two or three decades to make the special approach in them to solve the human problems, which is a great task to handle. Here an attempt has been made on demographic dimensions of human resources to examine spatial and temporal variations in population growth and density during the last four decades (1981-2011). Density of population in the state is 124 persons per km2 (Census 2011). The study indicates that Srinagar and Jammu districts recorded high density of population of 2860 and 674 persons per km2 respectively, mainly on account of being the state’s administrative capitals which have made them the hub of socio-economic activities. The lowest population density is found in the Ladakh division with only 3 persons per km2 in Leh district. The population distribution and density pattern indicates an overwhelming influence of geo-physical disposition across the different regions of the Jammu and Kashmir state.

Future Projection of Mean Temperature of Post-Monsoon Season Over Bangladesh Using Statistical Downscaling of Global Climate Models
Authors: Rashid Md Bazlur , Hossain Syed Shahadat
Published: December 2020

In statistical downscaling technique, regional or local information are derived by determining a statistical model which relates large-scale climate variables or predictors generated by Global Climate Models (GCMs) to regional and local variables or predictands. In this paper, the results of GCMs were statistically downscaled to produce future climate projections of mean temperature in the post-monsoon season (October and November), for the time periods 2021-2050 and 2071-2100 for Bangladesh. The future climate projections are based on the three emission scenarios RCP2.6, RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 provided by the fifth Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5). This paper established a method to analyze GCMs for use in statistical downscaling and utilized fifteen GCMs. The GCMs were assessed based upon their performance in simulated past climate in Bangladesh and adjoining areas. Downscaling was undertaken by linking large scale climate variables, taken from the ERA-Interim (resolution 79 km) reanalysis temperature, a gridded data set incorporating observations and climate models, to local scale observations. Overall, all fifteen GCMs, via statistical downscaling, show that mean temperature of the post-monsoon season in Bangladesh will increase under future climate scenarios. Comparing the ensemble of future projections with the reference period (1981- 2010), the mean post-monsoon temperature in Bangladesh is projected for RCP8.5 showing warming by 0.310C in near future and 1.790C in far future. On the other hand, estimated warming is 0.390C in near future and 1.140C is far future for RCP4.5. Low emission scenarios RCP2.6, near future temperature is nearly same the far future temperature.

Authors: Faruq Md Omar , Mallik MAK , Chowdhury MAM , Akhter MAE , Hossain M Arif
Published: December 2020

Topography and orography are two physical factors which produce high impact rainfall over the North-eastern part of Bangladesh. To predict the orographic rainfall of 29 March 2017 over Sylhet, Bangladesh an attempt has been performed using Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model. The model has been run in a single domain of 10 km horizontal resolution for 48-h and 72-h using six hourly global final datasets from 0000 UTC of each initial day of the event as initial and lateral boundary conditions with NSSL 2-moment microphysics scheme, Kain–Fritsch cumulous scheme and Yonsei University Planetary Boundary Layer (PBL) scheme. The model outputs such as sea level pressure, wind flow, vorticity, wind shear, humidity, Convective Available Potential Energy (CAPE), Convective Inhibition, Lifted Index, K-index, Total Total Index and rainfall have been analyzed. The model predicted weather parameters were visualized by Grid Analysis and Display System (GrADS) and Geographic Information System (GIS) software and validated with observed data of Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD), Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) and European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMRWF) data. The analysis determines that the CAPE of magnitude 800- 1000 JKg-1, positive vorticity of (6-10) ×10-5s-1 and relative humidity of 80-100% up to 500-400 hPa levels are accountable for the happening of the orographic extreme rainfall and other parameters are compatible with the observed or theoretical values. This study indicates that the model with an appropriate model set up is capable to predict the orographic precipitation realistically well and can be used for upcoming events.

National Center for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) Final (FNL) analysis data of 1o by 1o grids for every 6 hours are used for large scale synoptic analysis. The disastrous event was a strong monsoon depression in the early period of southwest monsoon 2017. Due to this depression, very heavy rainfall occurred in the southeastern Bangladesh. Rangamati recorded 343 mm of rainfall in the 24 hours on 12 June 2017. Massive landslides occurred in three districts such as Rangamati, Bandarban and Chittagong. The analysis of surface and upper air synoptic conditions has revealed that a well-marked low was formed over the northwest Bay of Bengal within the low-pressure belt passing from Somalia coast extending through southern Pakistan, and India up to east central Bay of Bengal and adjoining Bangladesh. The wind speed is calculated from the pressure distribution and is found to be 24.23ms-1, which is at par with the observed one. The well-marked low was subsequently intensified into a depression and moved northeastwards over Bangladesh. Strong southsouthwesterly winds were associated in the eastern side of the depression, especially over Chittagong Hill Tracts. The depression was found to extend up to 500 hPa level as seen from the distribution of geopotential and strong circulation around the centre. Winds were advecting from large continental and Ocean areas over the South Asia. Strong winds and moisture influx, strong narrow coma-like trough from a micro low at the surface to 500 hPa level as well as strong wind shear were responsible for the heavy rainfall, disastrous effects and massive landslides over Rangamati and adjoining areas.

Authors: Paul Snahashish , Rashid Muhammad Harunur , Rahman Md Anisur
Published: December 2020

Self Compacted Concrete (SCC) is a material used in the construction industry to ensure proper compaction of concrete without providing any external energy. In case of exposure of SCC to accidental fire, an assessment of its residual capacity is needed. This study covers the observation of residual compressive strength, tensile strength and modulus of elasticity of self compacted concrete under elevated temperatures (150, 300, 450, 600 and 800⁰C) and cooling conditions (air cooling and water quenching). The compressive strength increased at 150⁰C and decreased continuously after this temperature. However, tensile strength and modulus of elasticity decreased at elevated temperatures compared with ambient temperature. The compressive strength at ambient temperature (30⁰C) was 27.0 MPa, and it raised to 28.7 MPa at 150⁰C for air cooling and 27.8 MPa for water quenching.

This paper aims to provide a small-scale quantitative overview about the impact on socio economic condition in lockdown wards of Khulna City Corporation (KCC), Bangladesh due to this pandemic. Online survey for primary data was conducted through 158 respondents and the informants belongs to different types of occupation such as student, govt. employee, businessman etc. Secondary data was obtained from various credential sources. With the socioeconomic stress of COVID-19, people’s satisfaction level is measured with well-known index life scale assessment to measure the judgmental component of subjective well-being. This study reveals that 44% respondents who preferred online based activities which are directly related with online activity and occupation related activities rather than physically involved activities (33%) due to maintain social distancing. Besides about 46% maid was suspended due to hygienic concern and 45% driver was suspended because of the inability of maintenance cost i.e. an economic pressure which has been reflected on all classes of people. According to life scale assessment, 35% people were slightly dissatisfied and only 1% of them are extremely satisfied during this situation. It means that maximum of the people allows their living condition to be in the less satisfied range during this pandemic situation. Besides, hospital accessibility has been analyzed among the lockdown wards and it is observed that ward no.-24 whose has good accessibility with 292 m distance from the locality but poor condition has been observed in ward no.-17. To attenuate these ill socioeconomic conditions, initiatives of inclusive cooperation of different stakeholders should be taken spontaneously.

Authors: Choudhury Bayezid Ismail
Published: December 2020

Designed by American architect, Louis I. Kahn, the Jatio Sangsad Bhaban (JSB) or National Assembly Building of Bangladesh is a world-renowned iconic building situated in Bangladesh. Louis I. Khan was commissioned to design the JSB during the period before the term ‘sustainable’ was coined. In sustainable term it has controversial standing due to its cost, social and participatory aspects. However, it still stands as one of the masterpieces that represent hope and aspiration of the people of Bangladesh. This paper intends to look at the JSB through the lens of ‘sustainability’ to ascertain the degree of sustainability it has or has not achieved considering three tenets of sustainability, namely environmental, social and economic.

Published: December 2020

There is a great influence of irrigated land of an area to the acreage and productions of agricultural crops and thus maintain the food security. Recent awareness about climate change and its impacts on global environmental challenges has drawn the great attention on rational and sustainable handling of irrigation resources and its networks. As one of the cutting-edge technologies remote sensing data and geographical information system (GIS) are very much useful for efficient management of irrigation networks and optimum utilization of irrigation schemes for the sustainable agricultural development. Irrigation potentiality is the total area which can be irrigated from a project on its full utilization. This implies that an area where water is available for irrigation in each season during a complete irrigation year. In the present study an attempt has been made to investigate the irrigation potentiality of an area using remote sensing data as primary source and field data and as well as ground water level data from secondary source. Landsat 8 OLI (Operational Land Imager) data of 2016 and 2017 have been used for this purpose. Existing irrigation system has also been identified through the investigation of natural and artificial sources of irrigation water of the study area. Seasonal irrigated area was also monitored during the crop growing season. Ground water level fluctuation was also studied using ancillary data.
