Published: March 2024

The modern era is rapidly progressing in all sectors, including agriculture. Irrigation is a crucial aspect of agriculture, and in India sprinkler and drip irrigation techniques are used. But these processes are manually operated, which is timeconsuming and results in low productivity. The objective of this project is to design and develop a Microcontroller based Smart Irrigation System for Farms. The automation in the irrigation process of farms will minimize the costs and time consumption while promoting sustainable development with the help of IoT. This system can precisely utilize the water on the farm without any wastage. The System is designed to operate in Automatic and Manual mode. In automatic mode all the control of the system is handed to the AT89c51 Microcontroller, Soil moisture sensor connected to the AT89c51 MCU is used to sense the moisture in the soil and the motor is actuated accordingly. If the rain is detected by the Rain sensor which is also connected to the AT89c51 MCU, the motor is automatically turned off to avoid the access water in the farm. In manual mode, the motor can be turned on and off with the help of an Android app that is connected to the ThingSpeak IoT cloud. The temperature and humidity values from the Dht11 sensor in the farm area are also shown on the app interface. The system sends and reads the data from the cloud with the help of ESP8266 MCU which is connected through the Wi-Fi. As the System is connected to the Internet through Wi-Fi we can monitor and control the system from any remote area. We have used two controllers so that if any one microcontroller fails the other microcontroller runs the system smoothly

Introduction: Cancer treatment and its side effects can be exhausting and painful. Animal-assisted therapy (AAT) aims to reduce the stress and anxiety caused by cancer treatment. Interaction with the dog helps to increase the production of endorphins and serotonin, which act as a natural analgesic, a mood, sleep and appetite regulator, in addition to reducing cortisol levels, which are related to stress.Objectives: To evaluate the impact of Animal-Assisted Therapy on cancer patients, with an emphasis on mental health, including psychological benefits and adverse effects. Methodology: This is a narrative review on Animal-Assisted Therapy, Mental Health, and Cancer. We use comprehensive descriptors and databases. The inclusion criteria required articles in English or Portuguese, published in full, primary studies and systematic reviews on the relationship between the themes, as well as reports of interventions with animals in cancer patients. Articles in other languages or unrelated articles were excluded. Conclusion: It was concluded that Animal Assisted Therapy is a promising approach in the treatment of cancer, aiming at the emotional well-being of patients. The need for more research and implementation of these complementary practices in healthcare stands out.

The extension project "Pedal Beyond Vision" aims to: the integration of the University of the State of Mato Grosso and the community, as well as the construction of autonomy, social protagonism and the apprehension/development of the psychomotor movement of Persons with Disabilities (PCD) through adapted cycling. Another relevant aspect of this project is to enhance cooperation, mediation, and mutual training among all project participants. That is, visually impaired people (the guideds) and non-visually impaired people, the guide athletes. This project addresses social education intertwined with special education/social inclusion, which are worked through the pedagogical practice of teaching cycling adapted to people with visual impairment, in the municipality of Cuiabá-MT. The partnership took place between teachers from the State University of Mato Grosso-UNEMAT and elementary school teachers, belonging to the municipal education network of Cuiabá-MT. This project will take place in non-conventional training spaces (municipal parks in Cuiabá, which have adequate bike paths). The subjects participating in this project are visually impaired people, basic education teachers, UNEMAT teachers and the external community in general. This mediating and cooperative action between the university and the basic education professionals of Cuiabá, provides a new space and new experiences, resulting from the sports practice of adapted cycling, with the purpose of working on the culture of inclusion, the protagonism of the visually impaired, the recognition and overcoming of multiple barriers. The results achieved so far are: adherence of visually impaired people; considerable increase in the number of athlete guides and interaction with the community, especially in the traffic in Cuiabá. Since at first it caused some strangeness. With the development of street activities, to a certain extent, it starts to count on the collaboration of drivers when they come across adapted cycling activities in the city.

Analisis konflik internal nabi Elia dalam 1 Raja-raja 19:1-18 melalui pendekatan narrative criticism
Authors: Napitupulu Pieter Anggiat
Published: March 2024

Analisa konflik internal yang dialami Elia di Gunung Horeb menjadi fokus utama dengan menggunakan narrative criticism sebagai alat menganalisa. Kisah Elia ini dipilih karena terlihat perbedaan yang kontras dalam karakter Elia di Gunung Karmel dan di Gunung Horeb. Di Gunung Karmel, Elia berani dan penuh percaya diri menantang dan mengejek bahkan menyembelih para nabi Baal sementara di Gunung Horeb ketakutan, merasa sendiri, putus asa, kelelahan dan meminta mati kepada Tuhan. Selain itu juga banyak pandangan berbeda mengenai keadaan psikologis Elia. Metode analisis naratif yang digunakan adalah latar belakang kisah dan analisa konflik internal Elia sesuai narasi Alkitab dalam 1 Raja-Raja 19:1-18. Hasil yang didapat dari analisis ini adalah adanya subjektifitas pembaca dalam menilai keadaan konflik internal yang dialami Elia namun terlihat konflik kepemimpinan dan penindasan, konflik harapan dan keputusasaan dan konflik identitas dan peran dalam narasi tersebut. Keadaan psikologi Elia menunjukkan bahwa ia adalah manusia biasa yang dapat hancur hatinya, kecewa, lelah secara fisik dan mental, merasa sendiri dan gagal. Di Gunung Horeb Allah tidak menyalahkan, mengecam atau memojokkan Elia.
OKUL BİNASINDAN MÜZEYE: KORUMA- YENİDEN İŞLEVLENDİRME ÖRNEĞİ OLARAK MUŞ MÜZESİ
Authors: Engin Hatice
Published: March 2024

Yeniden işlevlendirme yöntemi, Avrupa’da XVI ve XVIII. yüzyıllar arasında sarayların müzeye dönüşümü ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. O dönemlerde yalnızca belli bir kesime hitap eden müzeler, sarayların dönüşümüyle beraber halkın her kesimine hitap etmeye başlamıştır. Türkiye’de ise müzeciliğin temelleri, tarihi değere sahip olan Aya İrini Kilisesi’nin müze olarak kullanılması ile atılmıştır. Cumhuriyet Dönemi’ne bakıldığında da tarihi yapıların yoğun bir şekilde müze olarak yeniden işlev kazanması söz konusuydu. Özellikle tarihi ve mimari dokusuyla ön plana çıkmış olan Ayasofya, Kariye Kilisesi, Topkapı Sarayı, Konya Mevlana Türbesi ve Dergâhı gibi anıtlar, bu dönemde müze işlevi kazanmıştır. 2000’li yıllardan günümüze ise Anadolu’da yer alan çok sayıda tarihi yapı, yeniden işlevlendirilerek müzeye dönüştürülmüştür. Dolayısıyla tarihi değere sahip binaların, hem korunması hem de kültürel mirasın sürdürülebilirliği açısından, müze işlevinin tarih boyunca kullanılan bir yöntem olduğu açıkça anlaşılmaktadır. Zira yeni bir müze binası inşa etme yerine hem binadan tasarruf etmek hem de kent kültürüne ait maddi- manevi unsurların, tarihi hafıza mekânlarında yok olmadan koruma altına alma düşüncesi ön planda olmuştur. Söz konusu çalışmada Muş kentinde yer alan ve Cumhuriyet Dönemi’ne ait tarihi okul yapısının müzeye dönüşüm süreci ele alınmıştır. Dönüşümü sağlanan okulun, tarihi ve mimari dokusunun korunmak istenmesinin yanında Muş yöresine bir müze kazandırma amacı da taşıdığı anlaşılmaktadır. Bu anlamda köklü tarihi bir geçmişe sahip olan Muş’un, somut ve somut olmayan kültürel mirasının, okul binası içerisinde nasıl yer edindiği, yapı- müze ilişkisi üzerinden giderek konunun daha anlaşılır kılınması sağlanmıştır. Ayrıca bölgede yeni açılan bir müze olması hasebiyle Muş tarihine, kültürüne, sosyolojik yapısına sunduğu katkılara yer verilmesi çalışmanın bir diğer amacıdır.

BUNGA YANG DIBOLEHKAN (PEMIKIRAN SYAFRUDDIN PRAWIRANEGARA)
Authors: Yasin Roqi , Fatoni Fatoni
Published: March 2024

ABSTRACTIslamic economist Syafruddin Prawiranegara holds the perspective that Islamic-based economic systems and bank interest rates are not inherently contradictory. Bank interest rates differ from riba (usury) in Islam; reasonable bank interest rates are not synonymous with riba. Riba, in Syafruddin's view, refers to profits gained from exploitative and deceptive transactions, which can occur in both cash and credit transactions. Sharia economic systems are essentially economic activities guided by Islamic norms. Among these norms are equality and honesty. Therefore, according to him, Islamic Economic Systems may involve the accrual of interest, as long as it is reasonable. Conversely, in a non-interest economic system, riba may still occur if exploitation and deception persist within it. The purpose of this research is to comprehensively examine Syafruddin Prawiranegara's perspective on bank interest rates. This study employs a non-participant qualitative method, adopting a literature review approach. The results of this research elaborate on the biography of Syafruddin Prawiranegara, the concept of religion and economics in his perspective, and his thoughts on bank interest rates and riba.Keywords: Sharia Economics; Islam; Bank interest; Syafruddin Prawiranegara

Authors: Agustina Rina Samsiyah , Mufti Azka Muhammad , Rahmawati Ima , Fahrani Irni
Published: March 2024

Kebutuhan konsumen modern sering kali dipengaruhi oleh gaya hidup kapitalis yang memperumit pemahaman antara kebutuhan dan keinginan. Pembelian impulsif menjadi fenomena umum yang menimbulkan pertanyaan tentang kesesuaian praktik konsumtif ini dengan ajaran Islam yang menekankan keseimbangan dan keadilan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kecenderungan pembelian impulsif dari perspektif Islam. Melalui pendekatan deskriptif kualitatif, penelitian ini menganalisis berbagai literatur yang relevan untuk memahami faktor-faktor yang mendorong pembelian impulsif dan implikasinya dalam konteks nilai-nilai Islam. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa pembelian impulsif sering kali melanggar prinsip istishab (kesinambungan) dalam Islam dan dapat mengarah pada perilaku konsumtif yang tidak sehat serta merugikan secara finansial dan spiritual. Oleh karena itu, pemahaman yang lebih dalam terhadap ajaran dan nilai-nilai Islam serta penerapan praktik-praktik tersebut dalam kehidupan sehari-hari diharapkan dapat membantu umat Islam mengatasi kecenderungan pembelian impulsif dan mengembangkan pola konsumsi yang lebih seimbang dan bertanggung jawab.

Published: March 2024

With the increasing use of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, cyber-attacks on IoT devices are also increasing day by day. Detecting attacks on IoT networks before they cause any damage is crucial for ensuring the security of the devices on these networks. In this study, a novel Intrusion Detection System (IDS) was developed for IoT networks. The IoTID20 and BoT-IoT datasets were utilized during the training phase and performance testing of the proposed IDS. A hybrid method combining the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and the Bat Optimization (BAT) algorithm was proposed for dimensionality reduction on the datasets. The Synthetic Minority Over-SamplingTechnique (SMOTE) was used to address the problem of data imbalance in the classes of the datasets. The Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) model, a deep learning method, was employed for attack classification. The proposed IDS achieved an accuracy rate of 99.97% for the IoTID20 dataset and 99.98% for the BoT-IoT dataset in attack classification. Furthermore, detailed analyses were conducted to determine the effects of the dimensionality reduction and data balancing models on the classification performance of the proposed IDS.
Learning Stabilization Control of Quadrotor in Near-Ground Setting Using Reinforcement Learning
Authors: Briliauskas Mantas
Published: March 2024

With the development of intelligent systems, the popularity of using micro aerial vehicles (MAV) increases significantly in the fields of rescue, photography, security, agriculture, and warfare. New modern solutions of machine learning like ChatGPT that are fine-tuned using reinforcement learning (RL) provides evidence of new trends in seeking general artificial intelligence. RL has already been proven to work as a flight controller for MAV performing better than Proportional Integral Derivative (PID)-based solutions. However, using negative Euclidean distance to the target point as the reward function is sufficient in obstacle-free spaces, e.g. in the air, but fails in special cases, e.g. when training near the ground. In this work, we address this issue by proposing a new reward function with early termination. It not only allows to successfully train Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) algorithm to stabilize the quadrotor in the near-ground setting, but also achieves lower Euclidean distance error compared to the baseline setup.
A Multi-level Surrogate-assisted Algorithm for Expensive Optimization Problems
Authors: Hu Liang , Wu Xianwei , Che Xilong
Published: March 2024

With the development of computer science, more and more complex problems rely on the help of computers for solving. When facing the parameter optimization problem of complex models, traditional intelligent optimization algorithms often require multiple iterations on the target problem. It can bring unacceptable costs and resource costs in dealing with these complex problems. In order to solve the parameter optimization of complex problems, in this paper we propose a multi-level surrogate-assisted optimization algorithm (MLSAO). By constructing surrogate models at different levels, the algorithm effectively explores the parameter space, avoiding local optima and enhancing optimization efficiency. The method combines two optimization algorithms, differential evolution (DE) and Downhill simplex method. DE is focused on global level surrogate model optimization. Downhill simplex is concentrated on local level surrogate model update. Random forest and inverse distance weighting (IDW) are constructed for global and local level surrogate model respectively. These methods leverage their respective advantages at different stages of the algorithm. The MLSAO algorithm is evaluated against other state-of-the-art approaches using benchmark functions of varying dimensions. Comprehensive results from the comparisons showcase the superior performance of the MLSAO algorithm in addressing expensive optimization problems. Moreover, we implement the MLSAO algorithm for tuning precipitation parameters in the Community Earth System Model (CESM). The outcomes reveal its effective enhancement of CESM's simulation accuracy for precipitation in the North Indian Ocean and the North Pacific region. These experiments demonstrate that MLSAO can better address parameter optimization problems under complex conditions.
Brunch
Authors: Ternikar Farha Bano
Published: March 2024

When Americans think of brunch, they typically think of Sunday mornings swelling into early afternoons; mimosas and bloody Marys; eggs Benedict and coffee cake; bacon and bagels; family and friends. This book presents a modern history of brunch not only as a meal, but also as a cultural experience. Relying on diverse sources, from historic cookbooks to Twitter and television, Brunch: A History is a global and social history of the meal including brunch in the United States, Western Europe, South Asia and the Middle-East. Brunch takes us on a tour of a modern meal around the world.

While brunch has become a modern meal of leisure, its history is far from restful; this meal’s past is both lively and fraught with tension. Here, Farha Ternikar explores the gendered and class-based conflicts around this meal, and provides readers with an enlightening glimpse into the dining rooms, verandas, and kitchens where brunches were prepared, served, and enjoyed.
War, Pacification, and Mass Murder, 1939
Authors: Matthäus Jürgen , Böhler Jochen , Mallmann Klaus-Michael
Published: March 2024

Published in association with the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum

This invaluable work traces the role of the Einsatzgruppen of the Security Police and SD, the core group of Himmler’s murder units involved in the “Final Solution of the Jewish Question,” during and immediately after the German campaign in Poland in 1939. In addition to relevant Einsatzgruppen reports, the book includes key documents from other sources, especially eyewitness accounts from victims or onlookers. Such accounts provide an alternative, often much more realistic, perspective on the nature and consequences of the actions previously known only through documentation generated by the perpetrators. With carefully selected primary sources contextualized by the authors’ clear narrative, this work fills an important gap in our understanding of a crucial period in the evolution of policies directed against Jews, Poles, and others deemed dangerous or inferior by the Third Reich. Supplemented by maps and photographs, this book will be an essential reference and research tool.
Songs of the Second Viennese School
Authors: Songer Loralee
Published: March 2024

In Songs of the Second Viennese School: A Performer’s Guide to Selected Solo Vocal Works, scholar Loralee Songer outlines for singers and voice teachers critical information on selected solo vocal works by three major classical composers active during the first half of the twentieth century: Arnold Schoenberg, Alban Berg, and Anton Webern. For too long, the remarkable vocal works of these composers have received insufficient attention because too many have assumed their works to be “unsingable” atonal pieces, musically impossible (or unrewarding) for performers and entirely unsatisfying for listening audiences.

For each composer, Songer provides information about the composer's educational background and compositional style, as well as commentary on representative vocal works supported by musical examples. The discussion is bolstered by interviews with renowned singers who supply advice for practice and performance. A catalog of selected songs featuring information on each work's poet, key, range, and German-English translation is also provided.

Voice teachers and singers of varying levels will benefit from this book's practical content and format, and the exposure to under-appreciated works will enhance recital performance repertoire substantially.

No crime is as synonymous with America as bank robbery. Though the number of bank robberies nationwide has declined, bank robbery continues to captivate the public and jeopardize the safety of banks and their employees.

In A History of Heists, Jerry Clark and Ed Palattella explore how bank robbers have influenced American culture as much as they have reflected it. Jesse James, Butch Cassidy, Bonnie and Clyde, John Dillinger, Willie Sutton, and Patty Hearst are among the most famous figures in the history of crime in the United States. Jesse James used his training as a Confederate guerrilla to make bank robbery a political act. John Dillinger capitalized on the public’s scorn of banks during the Great Depression and became America’s first Public Enemy Number One. When she held up a bank with the leftist Symbionese Liberation Army, Patty Hearst fueled the country’s social unrest. Jerry Clark and Ed Palattella delve into the backgrounds and motivations of the robbers, and explore how they are as complex as the nation whose banks they have plundered.

But as much as the story of bank robbery in America focuses on the thieves, it is also a story of those who investigate the heists. As bank robbers became more sophisticated, so did the police, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and other law enforcement agencies. This captivating history showshow bank robbery shaped the modern FBI, and how it continues to cultivate America’s fascination with the noble outlaw: bandits seen, rightly or wrongly, as battling unjust authority.
The 1928 New York Yankees
Authors: Gentile Charlie
Published: March 2024

The 1927 New York Yankees are often considered one of the best Yankee teams of all time—perhaps one of the best major league teams ever. Yet often overlooked is the Yankee team that followed. The 1928 Yankees started the season on track to meet and even surpass the records and accomplishments of the season before. Many players from the 1927 “Murderers’ Row” were still there, including Bob Meusel, Earle Combs, Mark Koenig, Tony Lazzeri, Lou Gehrig, and Babe Ruth.

The 1928 New York Yankees: The Return of Murderers’ Row tells the story of this underrated squad that endured a roller-coaster season of ups and downs to ultimately win the World Series. The baseball world, frustrated by the Yankees’ dominance the previous year, rejoiced when the team stumbled badly during the 1928 preseason. Their elation turned to gloom when the Yankees charged out of the gates to start the regular season on top of the standings. In spite of holding a commanding fourteen game edge over the second place Philadelphia Athletics midway through the season, the Yankees saw their lead disappear with just three weeks remaining. Manager Miller Huggins pulled together his patchwork pitching staff and banged-up regulars and reserves to mount a nail-biting fight to the finish.

Highlighted by numerous images of the key players for the Yankees, this detailed and thoroughly researched book provides an intimate look into a season to remember. The 1928 New York Yankees includes a discussion of the best teams in baseball leading up to the 1928 season, along with historical background on the country’s condition in the 1920s. From the Yankees’ preseason trip to Florida through their dominance, collapse, and subsequent rise, this bookwill entertain and educate all fans and historians of the national pastime.
Working Scared (Or Not at All)
Authors: Van Horn Carl  E.
Published: March 2024

At the end of the twentieth century, with the economy booming and unemployment at historic lows, the American economy was a job-producing marvel. The first decade of the twenty-first century was entirely different as the worst economy in seventy years, the Great Recession, crushed the lives of tens of millions of workers and their families, forestalled careers, scrapped hopes for a college education, delayed retirements, and foreclosed family homes. American workers experienced the best and worst of times and have endured an entire “lost decade” of high unemployment, stagnant or declining incomes, and anxiety. Working Scared draws upon nearly 25,000 interviews with employed and unemployed Americans conducted from, 1998 to 2012. These “voices” of American workers tell a compelling story about wrenching structural changes and recessions during one of the most volatile periods in U.S. economic history. This book represents one of the most comprehensive social science research portraits of the views of American workers’ about their jobs, the workplace, and government’s role in the labor market. Working Scared will help citizens, policy makers, educators, business, union, and community leaders better understand what is happening to the United States workforce. It also describes the essential national priorities and policies that will assist frustrated, angry and scared American workers and the reforms that will help restore the American dream of secure employment and intergenerational progress.

Baseball's Dynasties and the Players Who Built Them
Authors: Weeks Jonathan
Published: March 2024

Baseball has had its fair share of one-and-out champions, but few clubs have dominated the sport for any great length of time. Given the level of competition and the expansive length of the season, it is a remarkable accomplishment for a team to make multiple World Series appearances in a short timespan. From the Baltimore Orioles of the 1800s who would go to any length to win—including physically accosting opponents—to the 1934 Cardinals known as the “Gashouse Gang” for their rough tactics and determination, and on to George Steinbrenner’s dominant Yankees of the late twentieth century, baseball’s greatest teams somehow found a way to win year after year.

Spanning three centuries of the game, Baseball’s Dynasties and the Players Who Built Them examines twenty-two of baseball’s most iconic teams. Each chapter not only chronicles the club’s era of supremacy, but also provides an in-depth look at the players who helped make their teams great. Nearly two hundred player profiles are included, featuring such well-known stars as Joe DiMaggio, Jackie Robinson, Sandy Koufax, and Pete Rose, as well as players who were perhaps overshadowed by their teammates but were nonetheless vital to their team’s reign, such as Pepper Martin, Allie Reynolds, and George Foster.

With a concluding chapter that profiles the clubs that were on the cusp of greatness, Baseball’s Dynasties and the Players Who Built Them is a fascinating survey of what makes some teams dominate year after year while others get only a small taste of glory before falling to the wayside. Written in a lively style with amusing anecdotes and colorful quotes, this comprehensive book will be of interest to all fans and historians of baseball.
From the Headlines to Hollywood
Authors: Yogerst Chris
Published: March 2024

More than any other studio, Warner Bros. used edgy, stylistic, and brutally honest films to construct a view of America that was different from the usual buoyant Hollywood fare. The studio took seriously Harry Warner’s mandate that their films had a duty to educate and demonstrate key values of free speech, religious tolerance, and freedom of the press. This attitude was most aptly demonstrated in films produced by the studio between 1927 and 1941—a period that saw not only the arrival of sound in film but also the Great Depression, the rise of crime, and increased concern about fascism in the lead-up to World War II.

In From the Headlines to Hollywood: The Birth and Boom of Warner Bros.,Chris Yogerstexplores how “the only studio with any guts” established the groundwork and perfected formulas for social romance dramas, along with gangster, war, espionage, and adventure films. In this book, the author discusses such films as ThePublic Enemy, Little Caesar, G-Men, The Life of Emile Zola, Angels with Dirty Faces,and Confessions of a Nazi Spy, illustrating the ways in which their plots truly were “ripped from the headlines.”

While much of what has been written about Warner Bros. has focused on the plots of popular films or broad overviews of the studio’s output, this volume sets these in the larger context of the period, an era in which lighthearted fare competed with gritty realism. From the Headlines to Hollywood will appeal to readers with interests in film history, social history, politics, and entertainment.
The Today Show

Published: March 2024

In the early 1950s, when television networks did not broadcast regular programming before 11 a.m., radio and newspapers were the most popular and reliable ways for Americans to get their morning news. Then, Sylvester (Pat) Weaver, vice president of programming at NBC, pitched a bold new concept to the network: a two-hour early morning news show that would run Monday through Friday starting at 7 a.m. By developing Today, Weaver filled a programming void before viewers even realized there was one—and revolutionized the viewing habits of millions.

In The Today Show: Transforming Morning Television,Cathleen M. Londino provides an entertaining and informative look at the first twenty-five years of NBC’s innovative program, from 1952 through 1977. Focusing on Today’s broadcast history, the personalities instrumental to the show’s success, and the show’s contributions to the entertainment industry, this account illustrates how the evolution of Today closely paralleled the development of the broadcast industry and rise of the major networks. In addition to chronicling the show’s history, the author profiles some of the key players both behind and in front of the camera, including Dave Garroway, Barbara Walters, Tom Brokaw, and Jane Pauley.

The vision of morning news developed by Weaver more than sixty years ago endured far beyond his wildest expectation, establishing a model that would eventually be adopted not only by competing networks but also by television programmers around the globe. The Today Show: Transforming Morning Television is a fascinating account of theunprecedented success of this influential program and will appeal to anyone interested in television history.
