Authenticity and Walkability of Iconic Heritage Destination Bandung Indonesia
Authors: Yadi  , Hariyadi Triwahyu Putra
Published: August 2021

This study aims to examine the effect of authenticity and walkability on revisit intention mediated by tourist satisfaction. These four variables are measured using a number of statements on a Likert scale which are confirmed to have completed the validity and reliability tests. Data were collected using a questionnaire which was distributed to 271 respondents based on convenience sampling. Furthermore, the data were obtained and analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM) and the Sobel test as a basis for hypothesis testing. The results of the hypothesis test explain the rejection of the null hypothesis, which means that there is support for empirical data on the proposed research hypothesis. This illustrates that authenticity and walkability directly affect tourist satisfaction positively and significantly. Meanwhile, revisit intention is influenced positively and significantly both directly by authenticity and walkability and indirectly through tourist satisfaction. Thus, all attributes of authenticity and walkability have a very important role in fulfilling tourists' expectations when appreciating historical buildings in a heritage tourism area. The authenticity attributes of historical buildings that need the attention of relevant stakeholders are historical value, authenticity, originality, and maintenance. Some of the critical elements of walkability that also need to be maintained such as security, comfort, accessibility, connections with other destinations, and pedestrian friendliness for pedestrians.

Overcoming the Weight Transport Problem via Spike-Timing-Dependent Weight Inference
Authors: Ahmad Nasir , Ambrogioni Luca , van Gerven Marcel A. J.
Published: August 2021

We propose a solution to the weight transport problem, which questions the biological plausibility of the backpropagation algorithm. We derive our method based upon a theoretical analysis of the (approximate) dynamics of leaky integrate-and-fire neurons. Our results demonstrate that the use of spike timing alone outcompetes existing biologically plausible methods for synaptic weight inference in spiking neural network models. Furthermore, our proposed method is more flexible, being applicable to any spiking neuron model, is conservative in how many parameters are required for implementation and can be deployed in an online-fashion with minimal computational overhead. These features, together with its biological plausibility, make it an attractive mechanism for weight inference at single synapses.

Published: August 2021

This paper reviews and analyzes factors contributing to the rise and the fall of football game in Lyari Town. This town has the passion and the talent for football, which should be groomed to produce international players. A model football academy on the pattern of Grêmio (Brazil), Altınordu (Turkey), La Masia (Spain) and INF Clairefontaine (France) is proposed with football- oriented curriculum and international-level-football-training facilities on a green campus. The players are to be inducted at the age of 5 years after rigorous psychological and physical examinations as well as fitness testing. They study and play football here till they pass their Higher Secondary Certificate Examination. Measures are suggested for safety and security at campus as well as use and abuse of controlled substances. A survey was conducted to obtain opinions of footballers, coaches and general public in order to determine causes of decline of football in Lyari. The questionnaire was divided into 3 parts — lack of physical resources, noises influencing football game and shortage of human resources. The responses were indicative of the community‟s strong feeling that Lyarites can become international- standard footballers, if they are given the infrastructure and the facilities combined with motivation to achieve distinction. The proposed football academy should be the first step to change mindset of Lyarities from indulging in drugs and crime to healthy sport activities.

Tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by the Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It is a global health problem and major cause of death in resource-limited countries like Nepal. Timely diagnosis with sensitive testing methods could assist in early management of the disease. This study was conducted to compare the diagnostic performance of GeneXpert MTB/RIF and conventional acid-fast staining with M. tuberculosis culture. The study was carried out in the Department of Microbiology, Shree Birendra Army Hospital, Nepal. Samples (n=500) were tested with a GeneXpert MTB/RIF assay and acid-fast bacilli (AFB) smear microscopy. All samples were sent for M. tuberculosis conventional culture by the German-Nepal Tuberculosis Project, Kathmandu, Nepal (GENETUP). Out of a total 500 pulmonary and extrapulmonary samples tested, 97 samples were positive for M. tuberculosis by GeneXpert MTB/RIF assay. Out of the positive samples, only 95 samples were found positive by the culture method. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) of AFB microscopy was 45.3%, 99.5%, 99.5% and 88.5%, respectively. The sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV of GeneXpert MTB/RIF was found to be 100%, 99.5%, 97.5% and 100%, respectively compared to the gold standard culture method. The GeneXpert MTB/RIF test was comparable with culture diagnosis of both pulmonary and extrapulmonary tuberculosis cases.

The aim of the study was to assess the state of lipid and protein peroxidation in children with undifferentiated connective tissue dysplasia (UCTD). In this study, 63 children (33 children with UCTD and 30 children without UCTD were recruited and the indicators of lipid and protein peroxidation were measured. The enzymatic, colorimetric method was used to measure the level of total cholesterol (TC). The phospholipids were analyzed by liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry using electrospray ionization. Lipid peroxidation was studied by assessing the change of index and the end product of lipid peroxidation, malondialdehyde (MDA), using spectrophotometric method. Protein peroxidation - by the content of carbonylated protein based on 2,4 dinitrophenyl-hydrazones derivatization. The activity of the antioxidant defense system enzymes was assessed by measuring catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD). Our study revealed a significant increase of PPO products in the venous blood plasma and LPO products in erythrocytes in children with UCTD. Furthermore, an imbalance of the antioxidant defense system was observed in both blood plasma and erythrocytes membrane.

Schutz der Privatsphäre im Fokus der Stellungnahmen des Presserats
Authors: Strebel Dominique
Published: August 2021

Der Presserat beurteilte 2016 als Selbstkontrollorgan wieder über 50 Beschwerden, etwas weniger als im Vorjahr. Am häufigsten gutgeheissen wurden Beschwerden wegen Verletzung des Rechts auf Schutz der
Privatsphäre. Ausführlich mit Fragen der Respektierung der Privatsphäre und der Namensnennung befassten sich allein drei Stellungnahmen im Zusammenhang mit der so genannten Zuger-Sex-Affäre. Damit und mit der Erledigung des Falls des Badener Stadtammanns konnten länger zurückliegende Fälle abgeschlossen werden – reichlich spät, wie der Autor kritisiert. Von sich aus griff der Presserat 2016 keine Fälle auf.
Jede Korrespondenz mit Journalisten ist in die Strafakten aufzunehmen
Authors: Strebel Dominique

Gemäss Bundesstrafgericht gehört jede Korrespondenz der Bundesanwaltschaft mit Journalisten
zu den Verfahrensakten und muss den Parteien im Rahmen der Akteneinsicht zugänglich gemacht werden. Der
Grund: Wenn eine Strafbehörde in der Kommunikation mit Medienschaffenden die Unschuldsvermutung verletze,
könne dies ein Strafminderungs- und ein Befangenheitsgrund sein. Deshalb sei die Korrespondenz für das Verfahren
relevant und offen zu legen (BB.2015.128). Gemäss einem zweiten Entscheid in derselben Sache ist „jede Korrespon-
denz mit den Journalisten betreffend das Strafverfahren in die Strafakten aufzunehmen. (...) Selbstredend sind dabei,
soweit vorhanden, die Originalurkunden und im Falle von E-Mail-Verkehr etc. die unveränderten Ausdrucke in die
Akten aufzunehmen“ (BB.2016.270). Das Gericht prüfte nicht, ob die Aufnahme jeder Korrespondenz ins Aktendossi-
er ein zulässiger Eingriff in die Medienfreiheit ist. Der Autor der Anmerkungen legt dar, dass es dafür keine genü-
gende gesetzliche Grundlage gibt und die Massnahme nicht verhältnismässig ist.
On the Peculiarities of Realization of Electrostatic Instability of Charged Liquid Surface in Various Geometries

The paper deals with some peculiarities of realization of electrostatic instability of a charged liquid surface on the vertices of the charged and uncharged drops in an external electrostatic field in a cylindrical jet and a flat surface. It was shown that the critical values of the surface density of the electric charge under the mentioned conditions on the threshold of the realization of instability are different in magnitude, despite the phenomenological similarity. Most probably, the reason is the differences (under all mentioned conditions) in the spatial change in the strength of the electrostatic field in the vicinity of the growing (when the charged surface of the liquid is unstable) emission protrusion. Both equilibrium and non-equilibrium forms of droplets, jets, planes and their symmetry were discussed.

Published: August 2021

The process of the calibration of flow-through conductometric sensors of electrical conductivity and their concentration in solutions of NaOH, NaCl, Na2CO3 is investigated. Two-electrode sensors in glass tubes were used, with platinum electrodes in combination with the developed resistometer. The measuring system resisto-meter-sensor KSN-19, KSN-22, and KSN-23 operates on a pulsed alternating current with a frequency of 4 kHz. The calibration dependences of the concentration-resistance sensors in the indicated solutions were measured. Three main parameters of the sensors were determined by means of special software processing of the calibration data and their comparison with precise reference functions, namely, the “sensor constant” KS, KS1, and KS3. It is shown that all characteristic parameters of sensors depend on the chemical composition of the analyzed medium and are not constants. Theoretical substantiations of the observed regularity are given.
Spinal Epidural Lipomatosis: A Comprehensive Review

Published: August 2021

Purpose of review

This is a comprehensive review regarding the epidemiology, diagnosis, and management of spinal epidural lipomatosis (SEL).

Recent Findings

SEL is a relatively rare condition that has gained scientific relevance over the past few decades. Recent findings include expanding treatment strategies to include minimally invasive surgical techniques.

SEL is caused by an excess of adipose tissue accumulation localized to the thoracic and lumbar regions of the spine. While the exact pathogenesis is not fully elucidated, the etiology of SEL can be broadly classified based on five commonly associated risk factors; exogenous steroid use, obesity, endogenous steroid hormonal disease, spine surgery, and idiopathic disease. Progression of SEL may lead to neurological deficits, myelopathy, radiculopathy, neurogenic claudication, loss of sensation, difficulty voiding, lower extremity weakness, and rarely cauda equina syndrome. Conservative management is largely patient-specific and aimed at mitigating symptoms that arise from shared risk factors. If more advanced treatment measures are necessary, minimally invasive surgery and open surgical techniques, have proven successful.

Published: August 2021

In this paper, we construct a new hybrid iteration, called SR-iteration, and prove its stability and convergence analysis for weak contraction mappings in a Banach space. We compare rate of convergence between the SR-iteration and other iterations. Moreover, we provide numerical comparisons for supporting our main theorem and apply our main result to prove existence problem of mixed type Volterra-Fredholm functional nonlinear integral equation.
