Source of Crime in Islamic Psychological Perspective
Authors: Kurniawan Wahyu
Published: January 2020

Crime is a problem that has long occurred, even since the beginning of the fall of the prophet Adam and Eve. So far, the problem of crime is only involved in information that comes from binding laws and regulations. Crimes that have been considered crimes are only limited to individuals who are trapped in the context of mistakes without explaining the origin of the source of the crime committed. About crime also tends to be discussed in the science of criminology. In the field of criminology, W Boger himself is divided into two, namely pure criminology that breeds criminal science in criminal anthropology, criminal sociology, criminal psychology, criminal psychopathology and neuropathology and phenology while applied criminology is criminal hygiene, criminal politics and criminalism. This writing is sharpened at the source of crime in the perspective of Islamic psychology. In Islamic psychology itself, crime is basically not much different from the psychological outlook developed by Freud's psychoanalysts such as explaining between Id, Ego and Super Ego, if in Islamic psychology the source of crime can be found in Nafs explanations such as Vegetable Nafs, Animal Nafs, and Human Insights . This crime has an explicit explanation in the Animal Nafs.

Dampak Perkembangan Teknologi Informasi dan Komunikasi terhadap Perilaku Intoleransi dan Antisosial di Indonesia
Authors: Kusuma Rafles Abdi
Published: January 2020

The paper aims to exploration how the impact of the information and technology development in Indonesia. Especially, focus on the raising of the attitude and behavior that tend toward intolerant and antisocial. That behavior and attitude extremely were disturbing our social life. The flood of information in cyberspace causes disinformation that makes people split into poles of homogeneity, so people are not accustomed to a difference and are not trained to see problems from various sides. The transformation process taking place with a multilayer communication model has resulted in humans who are more individualistic and communalism, which leads to intolerant and antisocial behavior. Even today, communities are still divided into groups called "cebong" and "kampret". These two political poles cause people did not respect each other's differences. They spread hatred of speech and reject each other's activities, including worship activities. If this kind of social condition is allowed to leave, Indonesia will always be in an unsafe and comfortable condition. It should be prevented by knowing various characteristics or symptoms that arise from the behavior of people around us, both directly in the real world and through social media. Therefore, the authors offer a solution namely: strengthening the role of religion, especially in da'wa and internalization of the ideology of Pancasila, the enforcement of the constitution and humanist legal rules in Indonesia.
Efectos de la contaminación ambiental en la flora y fauna en el cantón La Maná
Authors: Velasteguí López Pablo Homero
Published: January 2020

Actualmente, en nuestro país observamos a diario como están las ciudades, contaminadas de residuos sólidos, basura, objetos sin vida, así como también existen factores artificiales como la lluvia ácida y la deforestación ya que esto afecta a la contaminación de la flora y fauna en el cantón.

La contaminación en su definición imposibilita el crecimiento de muchas especies vegetales, porque la presencia de sustancias químicas en el suelo altera los procesos vitales de las plantas. No existe una gran variedad de especies, como ocurre en los sectores no urbanos, donde el hombre ha tenido un menor grado de influencia y son menores los niveles de contaminación.

La consecuencia de las actividades industriales y del transporte, contamina la atmósfera, es responsable de la destrucción de grandes bosques, afecta el suelo que se contamina con sustancias ácidas que dificultan o impiden el crecimiento de nuevas especies vegetales, con lo cual se favorece la erosión del suelo.

La contaminación de la flora y fauna ha provocado la destrucción de la biodiversidad en el Planeta. Actualmente en el Ecuador incluyen aproximadamente el 11% de las especies existentes en el mundo y el 30% de las especies enumeradas en América Latina, lo cual en sus datos anteriores era de un 13%.Tabla 1: Flora y fauna contaminada

Actualmente el territorio ecuatoriano recoge 25.000 especies de plantas vasculares. También se ha identificado 2725 especies de orquídeas. El 11% de las especies existentes en el mundo y el 30% de las especies enumeradas en América Latina. Los Andes comprenden 1.050 especies, mientras que 850 fueron inventariados en la región amazónica y a lo largo de la costa.

Las artesanías y su real impacto en el turismo
Authors: Velasteguí López Efraín
Published: January 2020

La artesanía es un importante recurso para un turismo que gusta de apreciar las expresiones populares del arte en diversos materiales. Por ello, la artesanía de fibra vegetal (arbusto de perlilla) que se realiza en el Ecuador, es un producto cultural y natural que reproduce piezas como venados, canastas, patos y cisnes, pero sobre todo nacimientos, ángeles, trineos y Santa Claus, que son figuras asociadas a la Navidad (periodo del año en el que se venden más estas artesanías).

El binomio recursos naturales y cultura ha sido exitoso en otros países que han visto aumentar los ingresos económicos de sus poblaciones rurales con proyectos que resaltan las peculiaridades culturales de su gente y las bellezas naturales de su entorno. Algunos ejemplos los encontramos en Bahía, donde se promueve el arte y el patrimonio histórico de esta ciudad como reclamo turístico, o el caso de España con una oferta muy amplia de turismo rural basado en lo gastronómico, asociado a fiestas, actos religiosos y eventos sociales, que atrae a numerosos turistas degustadores de la comida tradicional, quienes siguen rutas gastronómicas de productos típicos.

La masificación del turismo se consideró que los únicos que disponían de tiempo libre eran una élite que podía disponer, además, de recursos económicos para practicar el turismo. Hoy en día el fenómeno se ha extendido a todas las clases sociales en mayor o menor medida.

Authors: Cruz Pérez Yudemir , Gutiérrez Leyva Juan Ernesto
Published: January 2020

El propósito del trabajo fue establecer las bases teórico – conceptuales de la gestión turística en espacios naturales no protegidos; para lo cual se desarrollaron tres etapas: la identificación de núcleos teóricos, la modelación de la gestión y la clasificación de los espacios, mediante métodos y técnicas, tanto del nivel teórico como del empírico, de este último fueron muy importantes la realización de un Foro online y el uso de un grupo de expertos. De la investigación resultó que los espacios naturales son las formas que adquiere el espacio geográfico, con bases definidas en función de los elementos bióticos y abióticos, los que se supone que no hayan sido modificados por el hombre, sin embargo, es muy difícil la existencia de espacios netamente salvajes. Las áreas protegidas están delimitadas por otros espacios naturales no protegidos, en los que existen recursos y atractivos que pueden generar centralidad para el impulso de actividades turísticas. La conceptualización de espacios naturales no protegidos y la modelación de la gestión turística en ellos, contempló tres ejes esenciales: los flujos de visitantes, los actores y su manejo, lo que conlleva su desarrollo como territorios receptores. La clasificación propuesta para los espacios naturales no protegidos, estructurada en tres niveles y nueve categorías, que resultaron adecuadas, eficientes y de un elevado grado de sencillez y cientificidad, para su puesta en práctica, según los criterios de expertos, con muchos años de experiencia en su trabajo y concordancia en los criterios emitidos durante la valoración.

Published: January 2020

Seabass, Lates calcarifer (Bloch 1790) is an euryhaline and a popular fish in south and southeast Asian countries due to its higher growth rate, giant size, excellent taste and higher market demand. It is locally known as Bhetki or Koral and available around the year in the estuarine and coastal regions of Bangladesh. In many countries (e.g. Australia, India, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand etc.), the species is artificially propagated and commercially cultured. The breeding technology has not yet been developed in Bangladesh. Now a days Bangladesh is progressing day by day in freshwater aquaculture but it is far behind in case of coastal and mariculture. To get the mass seed production of fry/fingerlings of seabass, we need to develop the artificial breeding technology of the said species. There are only a few studies published on biology, aquaculture, brood development and artificial breeding activities of seabass in Bangladesh where investigators used live feed (Tilapia) and small indigenous fish species (SIFS) on brood development in captivity but none could adapt to formulated feed on seabass aquaculture. Some researchers made attempt to develop seabass broodstock for artificial breeding purpose, but none can success in captive condition in Bangladesh. Only one breeding trial conducted by stripping method using wild brood, but the development of the fertilized eggs ceased attaining up to the neurola stage,

Optimizing the Electrical Conductivity of a Nutrient Solution for Plant Growth and Bioactive Compounds of Agastache rugosa in a Plant Factory
Authors: Lam Vu Phong , Kim Sung Jin , Park Jong Seok
Published: January 2020

The objective of this study was to determine the proper electrical conductivity (EC) of a nutrient solution (NS) for accumulating bioactive compounds of Agastache rugosa without decreasing plant growth. Six-week-old seedlings were transplanted in a deep flow technique system with Hoagland NS with a 2.0 dS·m−1 EC for the initial week. From eight days after transplanting, the plants were treated with six EC treatments of 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, 6.0, and 8.0 dS·m−1 for three weeks. Plant growth parameters, leaf gas exchange parameters, the relative chlorophyll value, and the ratio of variable to maximum fluorescence (Fv/Fm) were measured, and the rosmarinic acid (RA), tilianin, and acacetin concentrations were analyzed at 28 days after transplanting. The results showed that almost all plant growth parameters were maximized at 2.0 and 4.0 dS·m−1 and minimized at 8.0 dS·m−1 compared with the other EC treatments. The relative chlorophyll and Fv/Fm values were maximized at 2.0 and 4.0 dS·m−1. Similarly, leaf gas exchange parameters were increased at 2.0 and 4.0 dS·m−1. The RA content exhibited significantly higher values at 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, and 4.0 dS·m−1 compared with other treatments. The tilianin and acacetin contents exhibited the significantly highest values at 4.0 and 0.5 dS·m−1, respectively. These results suggest optimal EC treatment at 4.0 dS·m−1 for increasing bioactive compounds in A. rugosa plants without decreasing plant growth. Excessively high or low EC induced salinity stress or nutrient deficiency, respectively. Furthermore, among the plant organs, the roots of A. rugosa contained the highest RA concentration and the flowers contained the highest tilianin and acacetin concentrations, which revealed a higher utilization potential of the roots and flowers for bioactive compounds.

Published: January 2020

The development of skeletal muscle satellite cells (SMSCs) is a complex process that could be regulated by many genes. Previous studies have shown that Histone Deacetylase 4 (HDAC4) plays a critical role in cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis in mouse. However, the function of HDAC4 in chicken muscle development is still unknown. Given that chicken is a very important meat-producing animal that is also an ideal model to study skeletal muscle development, we explored the functions of HDAC4 in chicken SMSCs after the interference of HDAC4. The results showed that HDAC4 was enriched in embryonic skeletal muscle, and it was highly expressed in embryonic muscle than in postnatal muscles. Meanwhile, knockdown of HDAC4 could significantly inhibit the proliferation and differentiation of chicken SMSCs but had no effect on the apoptosis of SMSCs as observed in a series of experiment conducted in vitro. These results indicated that HDAC4 might play a positive role in chicken skeletal muscle growth and development.

Published: January 2020

Pain causes altered arousal and specific behaviours that are rare at other times (pain indicators). We examined whether beef cows (mean age 6 years) are sensitive to pain indicators in addition to arousal following ear tagging and rubber ring castration (males only, n = 31) of their calf (n = 58). Behavioural pain indicators and activity were recorded continuously for 20 min before and 2 h after handling. The 30 min period posthandling captured the peak of behavioural change during this window. Cow maternal and maintenance behaviours were recorded for 20 min before and for 30 min after calf handling. Principal component (PC) analysis identified two dimensions (48% of the variance) in calf behaviour. Arousal and two active pain indicators loaded onto PC1 were shown by linear mixed models to positively affect some maternal behaviours. Lethargy, passive pain indicators and further active pain indicators loaded onto PC2 did not affect cow behaviour. Castration did not result in male calves receiving more maternal attention. Cows alter maternal behaviour in response to calf activity but not behaviours previously shown to indicate pain. Maternal care peaks soon after calving, but recent calving stress or the subtlety of neonatal behavioural expression may constrain cows in responding to the individual behavioural expression of their calf. Future studies exploring empathy should be aware of the constraints on behavioural expression associated with the neonatal and periparturient period.

Anuran amphibians undergo major physiological and immunological changes following metamorphosis. Genes of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) code for receptors important for vertebrate adaptive immunity. We used qPCR to measure skin MHC expression in six different ontological stages of Rana ornativentris (n = 10 per stage); normalized MHC class I and II expression at the mRNA level was significantly higher in stage 28 (mid-larval) compared to stages 24/25 (early-larval) tadpoles. Subsequent transcriptomic analyses of three tadpole (early-, mid-, and late-larval) stages of R. ornativentris and model species Xenopus tropicalis focused on mRNA expression of immune-related genes in the skin. Normalized expression of most MHC class I and II transcripts in both species were significantly higher in mid- and late-larval stages compared to early-larval stage. In addition, gene ontology (GO) analyses of differentially expressed transcripts revealed several immune-related GO terms that were significantly upregulated from the mid-larval stage. Our study provides evidence that both MHC class I and II is expressed during development in both R. ornativentris and X. tropicalis.

Animals are kept in captivity for various reasons, but species with a slower pace of life may adapt to captive environments less easily, leading to welfare concerns and the need to assess stress reliably in order to develop effective interventions. Our aim was to assess welfare of semi-captive timber elephants from Myanmar by investigating the relationship between two physiological markers of stress commonly used as proxies for welfare, faecal glucocorticoid metabolite concentrations (FGM) and heterophil/lymphocyte ratios (H/L), and link these measures to changes in body condition (determined by body weight). We further assessed how robustly these two markers of stress performed in animals of different age or sex, or in different ecological contexts. We measured FGM concentrations and H/L ratios between 2016 and 2018 from 316 samples of 75 females and 49 males ranging in age from 4 to 68. We found a positive and consistent link between FGMs and H/L ratios in Asian elephants, irrespective of their sex, age, or ecological context. Our results will help to inform managers of (semi-) captive elephants about using heterophil/lymphocyte ratio data from blood smears on site as a potentially cheaper and faster alternative to determining stress than measuring faecal glucocorticoid metabolite concentrations in the laboratory.

The heavy metal contamination in plant-soil environment has increased manifold recently. In order to reduce the harmful effects of metal stress in plants, the application of beneficial soil microbes is gaining much attention. In the present research, the role of Serratia marcescens BM1 in enhancing cadmium (Cd) stress tolerance and phytoremediation potential of soybean plants, was investigated. Exposure of soybean plants to two Cd doses (150 and 300 µM) significantly reduced plant growth, biomass, gas exchange attributes, nutrients uptake, antioxidant capacity, and the contents of chlorophyll, total phenolics, flavonoids, soluble sugars, and proteins. Additionally, Cd induced the stress levels of Cd, proline, glycine betaine, hydrogen peroxide, malondialdehyde, antioxidant enzymes (i.e., catalase, CAT; ascorbate peroxidase, APX; superoxide dismutase, SOD; peroxidise, POD), and the expression of stress-related genes (i.e., APX, CAT, Fe-SOD, POD, CHI, CHS, PHD2, VSO, NR, and P5CS) in soybean leaves. On the other hand, inoculation of Cd-stressed soybean plants with Serratia marcescens BM1 significantly enhanced the plant growth, biomass, gas exchange attributes, nutrients uptake, antioxidant capacity, and the contents of chlorophyll, total phenolics, flavonoids, soluble sugars, and proteins. Moreover, Serratia marcescens BM1 inoculation reduced the levels of cadmium and oxidative stress markers, but significantly induced the activities of antioxidant enzymes and the levels of osmolytes and stress-related genes expression in Cd-stressed plants. The application of 300 µM CdCl2 and Serratia marcescens triggered the highest expression levels of stress-related genes. Overall, this study suggests that inoculation of soybean plants with Serratia marcescens BM1 promotes phytoremediation potential and Cd stress tolerance by modulating the photosynthetic attributes, osmolytes biosynthesis, antioxidants machinery, and the expression of stress-related genes.

Published: January 2020

The first step in identifying fruits on trees is to develop garden robots for different purposes such as fruit harvesting and spatial specific spraying. Due to the natural conditions of the fruit orchards and the unevenness of the various objects throughout it, usage of the controlled conditions is very difficult. As a result, these operations should be performed in natural conditions, both in light and in the background. Due to the dependency of other garden robot operations on the fruit identification stage, this step must be performed precisely. Therefore, the purpose of this paper was to design an identification algorithm in orchard conditions using a combination of video processing and majority voting based on different hybrid artificial neural networks. The different steps of designing this algorithm were: (1) Recording video of different plum orchards at different light intensities; (2) converting the videos produced into its frames; (3) extracting different color properties from pixels; (4) selecting effective properties from color extraction properties using hybrid artificial neural network-harmony search (ANN-HS); and (5) classification using majority voting based on three classifiers of artificial neural network-bees algorithm (ANN-BA), artificial neural network-biogeography-based optimization (ANN-BBO), and artificial neural network-firefly algorithm (ANN-FA). Most effective features selected by the hybrid ANN-HS consisted of the third channel in hue saturation lightness (HSL) color space, the second channel in lightness chroma hue (LCH) color space, the first channel in L*a*b* color space, and the first channel in hue saturation intensity (HSI). The results showed that the accuracy of the majority voting method in the best execution and in 500 executions was 98.01% and 97.20%, respectively. Based on different performance evaluation criteria of the classifiers, it was found that the majority voting method had a higher performance.

Published: January 2020

This paper proposes a novel optimization layout method for supporting clamps in a pipeline system. In this method, the global sensitivity analysis based on the Sobol method is presented to determine the influence of clamp position on the first-order frequency difference, the maximum vibration response displacement, and the maximum vibration stress. The modeling density of the finite element calculation is determined, and then a surrogate model of the relationship between the optimized input and the output is established through the neural network. The optimized position and orientation of the clamp are obtained by the genetic algorithm. Finally, a typical pipeline with clamps are conducted as an example to verify the effectiveness of the proposed optimization method. The simulations were compared with the experiment, and the result shows that the proposed optimization method can reduce the vibration of the pipeline system significantly, thus providing a new method for the arrangement of clamps in pipeline system.

Published: January 2020

A novel method for determining the electro-optic (EO) coefficient γ 22 of lithium niobate and its dispersion using photoelastic modulation is presented. A spectroscopic polarimetry was constructed with the photoelastic modulator (PEM), and a monochromator was selected to automatically scan the wavelength of a light source. Phase retardation induced by an EO sample was loaded into the modulation signals to demodulate the EO coefficients. The PEM and data processing were controlled in the same field programmable gate array (FPGA), and the DC and harmonic terms were extracted simultaneously by employing digital phase-locked technology. An experimental system was built to analyze the principle of this scheme in detail. After the modulation phase retardation amplitude of the PEM was precisely calibrated, the EO coefficient γ 22 of a Y-cut lithium niobate crystal plate was measured in the spectral range from 0.42 to 0.8 µm. The experimental results demonstrated that the measurement sensitivity of the system was 1.1 × 10 − 14   m / V for a sampling time of 198.9 ms. Plotting the measured results against the light wavelength, the dispersion of the EO coefficients was obtained similar to the Cauchy dispersion formula γ 22 = 5.31   ×   10 − 12 + 4.071   ×   10 − 13 λ 2 + 7.184   ×   10 − 14 λ 4 in the visible light range. This method is suitable for studying dispersion of the EO coefficients of crystals as well as of thin films and two-dimensional materials.

The integrated air-ground multi-domain network provides users with a set of shared infrastructures. Security policies can be defined flexibly in the context of multi-domain network semantics. The packet filter module in the security gateway can run efficiently, which is an urgent requirement in this network environment. The framework combined with multi-domain network semantics implements the transformation into rules. It replaces the traditional manual method of configuring rules. The framework supports the whole life cycle management of rules from generation state and distribution state to execution state. In the aspect of security, the map security and semantic security are analyzed and optimized, respectively. Finally, through a series of experiments, compared with iptables/DPDK-IPFW/BSD-IPFW/BSD-pfsense, the high efficiency of the scheme is verified.
