Relative Impact of Key Rendering Parameters on Perceived Quality of VR Imagery Captured by the Facebook Surround 360 Camera
Authors:   Rochester Institute of Technology, Pfund Nora , Sampat Nitin ,   Rochester Institute of Technology, Stephen Viggiano J. A. ,   Rochester Institute of Technology
Published: October 2020

High quality, 360 capture for Cinematic VR is a relatively new and rapidly evolving technology. The field demands very high quality, distortion- free 360 capture which is not possible with cameras that depend on fish- eye lenses for capturing a 360 field of view. The Facebook Surround 360 Camera, one of the few “players” in this space, is an open-source license design that Facebook has released for anyone that chooses to build it from oﬀ-the-shelf components and generate 8K stereo output using open-source licensed rendering software. However, the components are expensive and the system itself is extremely demanding in terms of computer hardware and software. Because of this, there have been very few implementations of this design and virtually no real deployment in the field. We have implemented the system, based on Facebook’s design, and have been testing and deploying it in various situations; even generating short video clips. We have discovered in our recent experience that high quality, 360 capture comes with its own set of new challenges. As an example, even the most fundamental tools of photography like “exposure” become diﬃcult because one is always faced with ultra-high dynamic range scenes (one camera is pointing directly at the sun and the others may be pointing to a dark shadow). The conventional imaging pipeline is further complicated by the fact that the stitching software has diﬀerent eﬀects on various as- pects of the calibration or pipeline optimization. Most of our focus to date has been on optimizing the imaging pipeline and improving the qual- ity of the output for viewing in an Oculus Rift headset. We designed a controlled experiment to study 5 key parameters in the rendering pipeline– black level, neutral balance, color correction matrix (CCM), geometric calibration and vignetting. By varying all of these parameters in a combinatorial manner, we were able to assess the relative impact of these parameters on the perceived image quality of the output. Our results thus far indicate that the output image quality is greatly influenced by the black level of the individual cameras (the Facebook cam- era comprised of 17 cameras whose output need to be stitched to obtain a 360 view). Neutral balance is least sensitive. We are most confused about the results we obtain from accurately calculating and applying the CCM for each individual camera. We obtained improved results by using the average of the matrices for all cameras. Future work includes evaluating the eﬀects of geometric calibration and vignetting on quality.
Tachadura. Reflexiones en torno a la artificialidad del dibujo
Authors: Benavides Narváez Jhon Felipe
Published: October 2020

El presente texto reflexiona sobre la tachadura como parte constitutiva del dibujo, y a la vez, sobre la exposición del dibujante a la artificialidad de su traza. Gracias a la revisión de la obra escritural y artística de diferentes creadores de Pasto, al suroccidente de Colombia, es posible proponer la tachadura como una concepción singular que sucede en esta ciudad. Abordando las problemáticas de representación de la grafía, su enseñanza, exposición y concepción, se entiende que los creadores sugeridos para esta exposición conceptual y vivencial —pese a su cercanía con lo académico— proponen los desbordes propios del dibujo al impedir que su traza se enclaustre en los linderos académicos.
Preprocessing kNN algorithm classification using K-means and distance matrix with students’ academic performance dataset
Authors: Sugriyono Sugriyono , Siregar Maria Ulfah
Published: October 2020

The existence of outliers in the dataset can cause low accuracy in a classification process. Outliers in the dataset can be removed from a preprocessing stage of classification algorithms. Clustering can be used as an outlier detection method. This study applies K-means and a distance matrix to detect outliers and remove them from datasets with class labels. This research used a dataset of students’ academic performance totaling 6847 instances, having 18 attributes and 3 class labels. Preprocessing applies the K-means method to get centroid in each class. The distance matrix is used to evaluate the distance of instance to the centroid. Outliers, which are a different class, will be removed from the dataset. This preprocessing improves the classification accuracy of the kNN algorithm. Data without preprocessing has 72.28 % accuracy, preprocessed data using K-means with Euclidean has 98.42 % accuracy (an increase of 26.14 %), while the K-means with Manhattan has 97.76 % accuracy (an increase of 25.48 %).

Authors: Zhu Qianyu , Yan Xiaoshan
Published: October 2020

China-Central and Eastern European Cooperation (referred to as “16+1”, later developed into “17+1” or China-CEE Cooperation) is an important element and effective complement to China's efforts to promote the development of cooperation among the 17 CEE countries, the balanced development of the CEE sub-regional and the development of various areas of China-EU cooperation. Since 2012, when the framework was proposed, it has witnessed the establishment of a cooperation and coordination mechanism guided by leaders' meetings, ministerial meetings and forums or expositions for building a comprehensive, multi-field and multi-level pattern of cooperation. The framework is based on the interests of both sides and in line with the trend of common development, mutual benefit and win-win. In the eight years, it has achieved fruitful results in the areas of policy communication, trade and investment growth, infrastructure construction, capital financing and civil exchanges, so as to promote the economic stability and sustainable development of countries involved. It also faces internal and external challenges, like the imbalanced development, divergent interests, interference by interested countries, and the deterioration of security situation in the Middle East. As the cooperation deepens, it is important to adhere to the principles of mutual benefit and win-win and dock with different frameworks on all fronts. It is necessary to better understand EU laws and regulations and seize new opportunities for cooperation, including civil exchanges, etc.

A Study on Sustainability of Contemporary Cropping Systems in Bam
Authors: Zarei Fatemeh , Baniasadi Somaye
Published: October 2020

The study was conducted in Bam in 2019 to develop an index to quantify sustainability of cropping systems in the region. The studied cropping systems included single-cropping systems (palm trees) and multi-cropping systems (citrus, palm trees and alfalfa). The studied indices included economic, social, agricultural indices, as well as, personal features, market access, features of communication, education-extension activities, sustainable agricultural knowledge, attitude towards sustainable agriculture, and obstacles facing sustainable agriculture. The results indicated that the amount of sustainability index was lower than the mean value in 0.56% of the farms and this index was higher than the mean value in 0.44% of the others. Comparison of the mean value of sustainability indices in the studied cropping systems indicated that the mean indices of the type of cropping system, attitude towards sustainable agriculture and extension training activities in multi-cropping systems were more than single crops. The mean indices in social participation and the obstacles facing sustainable agriculture in single cropping systems was more than the multi-cropping ones. Some indices including social participation, sustainable agricultural knowledge and education-extension activities in multivariate regression model  remained in the final model as variables that had the largest contribution in the rate of change in the dependent variable (sustainability) and explained = 60% of the changes in the dependent variable. The study showed that the sustainability of multi-cropping systems was more than the single-cropping ones.

Authors: Acharya Keshav Raj
Published: October 2020

Community forest user groups are considered as prominent institutions in Nepal for the sustainable forest management through the active involvement of local people. Community forestry has mandatory provision of at least half number of women representation in executive committee however there is no restriction for all women representation in such committee. This study was conducted in two community forest user groups namely Mahila Srijana Community Forest User Group ( only women leadership) and Betkholshi Community Forest User Group ( mixed Leadership by both men and women) in Hetauda Sub-metropolitan city of Makwanpur district to identify whether the women leadership has significant contribution on sustainability of community forests. Different 4 criteria, 26 indicators and 60 verifiers were used to measure the sustainability through household survey (n=58), focus group discussion (n=4) and meeting minutes analysis. Present study reveals that overall sustainability index (OSI) of all women leaded community forest user group (OSI=0.502) was insignificantly lesser than the CFUG with the leadership of both men and women (OSI=0.512) however forest management practices was found better in women lead community forest.

Authors: Ukala Chinyere Catherine
Published: October 2020

The study explored administrative strategies for effective teaching in basic schools in the era of frozen moment in Rivers State, Nigeria. Three research questions were answered while three hypotheses were tested. The study adopted an analytic survey research design with a population of 247 headteachers in 247 public basic schools in Rivers State. The sample size is 172 headteachers representing 70% of the population of the headteachers. The sample size was arrived at using proportionate stratified random sampling technique. An instrument titled Administrative Strategies for Effective Teaching Scale (ASETS) was used for data collection. Face and content validities were ensured by experts in Educational Management as well as Test and Measurement in the University of Port Harcourt. The internal consistency reliability coefficient of 0.83 was computed for ASETS through Cronbach alpha statistical method. Mean and standard deviation were used to answer the research questions while z-test was used to test the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. It was found that the headteachers can use reward management system as well as online supervision of their teachers’ academic preparation progress to enhance their teaching effectiveness. It was also found that the headteachers have the problem of time management and financial incapacity to carry out online administrative functions. It was recommended among others that the headteachers and local and state governments should assist the teachers in procuring electronic gadgets by giving them soft loans. The headteachers should cultivate the attitude of making use of online platform to disseminate information to the teachers for teaching effectiveness.

Authors: Ambarawati I Gusti Agung Ayu , Adi Anak Agung Ayu Mirah , Damayanti Putu Ayu Asri , Kardena I Made , Hongo Chiharu
Published: October 2020

It was reported that 326 Japanese Encephalitis (JE) cases in Indonesia in 2016, majority cases (69.3%) occurred in Bali. It shows that Bali is a prone-area to JE incidence. Previous studies noted that JE is closely related to rural and suburban areas where rice culture and pig farming coexist. This study aims at i) determining knowledge and preventive practices of JE by farmer households; (ii) observing types of mosquitos around farmer households; and (iii) mapping the potency of JE spread using geo-spatial information.

Result from this research shows that farmer households have limited knowledge and preventive actions to the incidence of Japanese encephalitis. Preventive actions carried out by respondents were not for JE incidence as such. Nonetheless, farmer’s response to source of vectors and cleanliness are good preventive actions not just to JE incidence but also for other diseases. In this research, setting up mosquito’s light traps nearby pig pens and rice fields has been successful. The result shows that Culex tritaeniorhynchus was dominant type of mosquito trapped. This is an indication that the selected areas are susceptible to the incidence of JE as the Culex sp was reported as the most competent of JE vector in Asia. Maps of the JE spread in Badung regency also coincidence with the places of Culex sp trapped and the dense of rice field. Based on the limitation of knowledge and preventive actions carried out by farmer households, it is important for the stakeholders in the regency including Regional Health Office and health care workers to socialize the occurrence of JE in the community and how to prevent against the disease.
ACTIVE ROLES OF NGOs AND CBOs TO PROMOTE ENTREPRENEURS’ PASSION AND DRIVE IN THE TOWNSHIPS AND RURAL AREAS OF SOUTH AFRICA
Authors: Mofolo Malefetsane
Published: October 2020

In South Africa, entrepreneurial spirit is regarded as fundamental to the future development of the country. To that effect, regulatory reforms have been introduced, and others are still to be introduced to stimulate and bring about change to the entrepreneurial activity. Again, for instance, in some provinces non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and community based organisations (CBOs) have been established. A point in case is that in North West Province, Chambers of commerce have been established to mobilise and facilitate relations between government and business community on issues related to the economy and enterprise development programmes. However, when one analyses these, one develops a sense that genuine aspects related to less tangible components of entrepreneurial activity, such as the drive for passion, enthusiasm, motivation and attitudes, have been partially stimulated through government programmes in South Africa, especially in townships and rural communities. Therefore, in order to position the contestation of this article, a desktop approach was adopted, where existing theoretical and empirical documents were consulted to highlight the discourse around these issues and the recent policy developments targeted to accelerate growth and development of small, medium and micro-enterprises (SMMEs), including co-operatives. The findings from the literature show the disposition of government to support entrepreneurship endeavours, and challenges related to, inter alia, awarding of government contacts and access to markets. Consequently, the active roles of NGOs and CBOs as government partners to ensure entrepreneurs’ passion and drive in the townships and rural areas of South Africa are recommended.

Authors: Ramos rodríguez Irma
Published: October 2020

Teacher abuse is an ancient practice at different educational levels, the attacks by teachers vary from verbal and physical abuse, social exclusion, among other forms of abuse. Objective: To analyze the relationship between teacher abuse with gender, age, career, and other associated variables in students of different careers from a public university in Mexico. Methodology: A descriptive, cross-sectional, analytical study was carried out in 1149 first semester university students to collect the information, two questionnaires were applied, one on sociodemographic data and the other on teacher abuse. Results: Teacher abuse was presented in 10.5% of the participants, who claim to have been mistreated by at least one teacher in the current semester, 31.4% say they are afraid of attending university, 9.6% claim to fear a teacher. No differences were found between teacher abuse and the gender of the participants, or according to age, but there were differences according to the degree they were studying. Conclusions: Teacher abuse is a common practice in the university, this can cause in the student fear of teachers, fear of attending the university, absenteeism, school dropout and low academic performance.
Crisis Management Policy of Natural Disaster
Authors: Sarjito Aris
Published: October 2020

Abstract

Indonesia is the country that has the most active volcanoes in the entire world. The Eurasian Plate, the Pacific Plate, and the Indo-Australian Plate are three active tectonic plates that cause collision zones to form these volcanoes. Indonesia is estimated to have 129 volcanoes, all of which are carefully monitored by the Centre for Volcanology and Geological Disaster Mitigation. This is done because several volcanoes in Indonesia continue to show activity. Moreover, it is estimated that more than five million people live in the "danger zone" of a volcano where they must be immediately evacuated if the mountain shows significant upward activity (Indonesia-Investment, 2019). However, efforts to reduce the risk of natural hazards remain largely uncoordinated in different types of hazards and do not necessarily focus on areas with the highest disaster risk.

This paper uses a descriptive qualitative approach as the main writing approach and uses crisis management theory by Rosenthal, that crisis management involves efforts: (1) to prevent a crisis from occurring; (2) to prepare better protection against the impact of crisis agents; (3) to make effective responses to the actual crisis; and (4) to provide plans and resources for post-crisis recovery and rehabilitation.

The results of this study are: (1) to accelerate forest recovery, the government can engage the community with security and welfare approach; (2) natural disaster management is the main responsibility of the government; (3) In crises due to natural disasters, form a team that is responsive to critical situations. This team was formed by involving government agencies, community leaders, and NGOs; and (4) to increase the government's capacity to reduce the impact of natural disasters, assessment of potential damage, the establishment of an early warning system, and the improvement of disaster-resistant capabilities are needed.

Housing Policies: The Experiences and Constraints of Housing Industry in Ghana
Authors: Ameh Sunday Ojonugwa , Osafo Benjamin Thomas
Published: October 2020

Ghana housing policies in the pre- and post- independence have not been consistent and sustainable. Whiles the colonial government adopted self-help projects and piloted research findings, policies after independence focused on social housing, affordable housing and Public Private Partnership (PPP) projects. The impact of these policies did not improve the performance of the main stakeholders in the housing industry, thereby resulting to inadequate houses in most communities in Ghana. The research sought to identify the main challenges encountered by stakeholders in relation to government housing policies. The study adopted the exploratory and thematic literature review to ascertain the experiences and constraints faced by the Housing Industry (HI) in Ghana in relation to Ghana Housing Policies (GHP). The principle of demand and supply which determine the price mechanism in the housing market constitutes the theoretical orientation of the study. As such, challenges created by the housing policies in Ghana were related to the factors of demand and supply, principle of price mechanism and experiences of the global world and well as increase in urban shelter deviant rate. A comprehensive analysis was undertaken to reveal key findings on the challenges of the individual stakeholders namely households, financial institutions, estate developers and government land sector agencies. It was realized that prices of houses in Ghana were high in relation to households’ incomes. And that, the loan requirements of mortgage institutions of payment of 30% deposit, 50% monthly mortgage and 10 years mortgage term were unbearable by most households. It was recommended that estate developers should undertake demand assessment of households and the government should implement sustainable policies, hence reduce urban shelter deviant rate.

Published: October 2020

The basic aim and object of the study to examine the institutional structure of development planning, and polices in Pakistan in the context of its impact on inclusive growth and in addition to develop a coherent road map in the context of regional and global development objectives of the modern world. The study addressed that present development planning set up in not addressing poverty and inequality at large due to its time-barred framework. The study recommended that the structural changes are needed in the present planning mechanism from district to province and planning commission/ from top to bottom. The capacity of development planners should be enhanced to formulate sustainable development policies to create a robust development planning system in the country. The study suggests continues reforms in development spending to reduce waste of available resources and its focus should be on regional and economic disparities as a policy shift a development for all. The institutional development planning should be focused to produce the required quality skilled human development force in the context of the lowest human development index in the region. There is an urgent need to adopt alternative development policies practices and strategic planning concepts followed by developed nations in the recent past as a way forward

Published: October 2020

This research aims to describe the implementation of planning, organizing, learning execution, and evaluation of learning outcomes based on information and computer technology at SMAN 5, SMK N 10, SMAN N 11 of Tangerang Regency. The programs to improve the learning quality in these 3 high schools were conducted continuously through programs of enhancing the teachers’ competency based on information and communication technology (ICT). Teachers as educators generally have interesting ideas and innovations in teaching by implementing ICT when compiling, executing, and evaluating learning outcomes. ICT-based learning seemed more dynamic, interactive, flexible, and interesting for the students. Educators searched for strategies in teaching-learning process by deploying inspiring techniques for the talented students. The students interested with the learning materials could interact with the teachers intensively, not only at the learning time. The quality management of technology-based education was a profound learning for the educators and education staff. This was because they acquired knowledge and understanding in planning, organizing, directing, and controlling the sources of education in order to effectively, efficiently, autonomously achieve the education targets and to produce quality they were proud of.
Impact of Operating Cost Reduction on The Economic Challenges Facing Small-Size Clothing Factories in Saudi Arabia
Authors: Aldaady Sarah , Basafar Amal
Published: October 2020

The clothing manufacturing industry in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has faced many challenges at the local and international level. The implementation of the rules and regulations of the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 have gained particular interest and operating with minimum costs has become one of the main objectives of small-size clothing factories. The impact of operating cost reduction on economic challenges facing the clothing factories has been studied with the aim to identify the challenges and economic factors affecting operating costs. It was concluded that some of the economic challenges are represented in the high operating cost caused by the application of new taxes, including the value-added tax (VAT), imposition of fees on non-Saudi workers and new amendments to the trade law. Minimizing operating costs through cutting-edge manufacturing technologies were found to be a key solution to ensure factories’ survival and sustainability.
Art and devotion in the Missions of Paraná and Uruguay: The painting of the Virgin of the Mission of Acaray
Authors: Franco Ana Elisa Burró
Published: October 2020

The objective of this article is to make known, on the one hand, the vicissitudes of a forgotten image of the first Jesuit missions of the Province of Paraguay and, on the other, to shed more light on the history of Guarani missionary art of which only remnants are known, not without mixes of mistakes and confusion. The “Annual” Letters themselves are sometimes contradictory, which is understandable, since reporting on so many events in a territory as extended and little communicated as this province was can lead to confusing news, as we will see in the development of this article.

An important clarification is that in the “Annual” Letters, the main source of this article, the Fathers were little or not at all interested in accurately describing images, altarpieces or sculptures of the missions, they do it very occasionally and even more rarely they mention the authors. It is evident that this is not the main objective of their narration, so as it is to refer to what concerns to the conversions and progress of the neophytes in the knowledge of the faith that they preached.

The missionaries did not sign the works for an evident principle of humility; most of the works are completely anonymous. They were performed Ad Maiorem Dei Gloriam.

XIII wiek – stulecie przełomu w dziejach średniowiecznego szkolnictwa w Polsce
Authors: Ratajczak Krzysztof
Published: October 2020

The 13th century in the Piast Poland was marked by a feudal fragmentation of the Polish Kingdom and was heavily burdened with the deepening political disruption of the country resulting in economic and military weakening of the component principalities (dukedoms) of the country. This, in the next century, eventually led to some of the provinces falling into dependencies upon the Kingdom of Bohemia. However, what was destructive and divisive from the perspective of political history, offered a stimulating dimension for the history of culture and education, for the period in question was characterized by a multiplication of chanceries throughout the whole of the century, which, as a result, increased a demand for literate individuals. Colonization based on the Magdeburg Law (a set of German town laws) and the influx of foreigners into Polish lands: chief settlers (German: der Lokator), friars and monks from newly established Cistercian, Dominican and Franciscan orders as well as knights in service of ducal courts or representing military orders, in short, people deeply rooted in Western legal tradition, capable of making use of documents or written legal codification, boosted the phenomenon even more. The development of towns, trade relations between the principalities as well as international trade facilitated the emergence of capital that, alternatively, could also be used in founding schools of all kind. A considerable influence upon the following leaping increase in the number of schools and the quality of teaching standards in the country came from ecclesiastical synods and councils whose legislation regulated many relevant activities and issues related to management of schools, levels of education for applicants for teaching posts, or, more broadly, created appropriate intellectual climate favourable for further development of the schooling system. A number of the above factors, as well as other factors discussed in the body of the article, were decisive in making the thirteenth century a particularly significant period in the historical process of the development of Polish literary and educational culture.

Historiografia pedagogiczna w czasopismach tradycyjnych i elektronicznych
Authors: Sławomir Sztorbyn
Published: October 2020

Scientific and research periodicals play an extremely important part in popularizing (and promoting) results of research studies, though this role is not equally appreciated across different domains of science. This becomes apparent if we compare the number of traditional and electronic titles of periodicals in such disciplines as medicine, natural science and exact science on the one side, and those that represent the humanities, broadly understood, on the other. The advantage of electronic content in the former group is overwhelming. Nowadays, we use two terms in relation to periodicals available online and launched on the electronic platform. The terms make a distinction between a degree of their involvement in the cyber space. “Digitalization” means a certain transitory state between traditional periodicals in print and virtual publications; in other words, a product of “digitization” is an electronic copy (e.g. a scanned text) of a text originally published in print, whereas the notion of “digital authorship (the author as digital producer), in Polish: cyfryzacja” deals with an entirely electronic publication with specific properties underlined by multimedia and hypertext capabilities. Digital research information as an entirely new quality has not been yet appropriately appreciated. The history of education as a discipline of research does not have its own electronic platform that would offer peer-reviewed research papers in Open Access (OA), e-books or electronic document repositories. For the time being, the most recent Polish periodical within this discipline, i.e. Biuletyn Historii Wychowania, has only a front page, ToCs and a masthead available online, without access to full-text electronic content.
Franciszek Majchrowicz (1858–1928) – pedagog i historyk wychowania. Kilka uzupełnień do biografii
Authors: Wałęga Agnieszka
Published: October 2020

Franciszek Majchrowicz was a renowned Lvov-based educator and a historian of education. Throughout many years of his professional career he was involved in teaching in secondary schools and teachers’ training colleges. At the same time, he was actively participating in educational initiatives as an activist. Majchrowicz was a co-editor of the periodical Rodzina i Szkoła [Family and School], co-operated with the Council of National Education in Galicia (Eastern Poland) and with the School Board of the Lvov province. His publishing output included numerous articles and pedagogical texts as well as historical and educational works, including one of the first textbooks for teaching history of education in teachers’ training colleges (with many editions throughout the years 1901-1924). Majchrowicz also published source materials for the history of Polish education, promoted the educational ideas of the Commission of National Education and attempted to develop the history of education into a coherent academic discipline for researchers and a subject in the national curriculum for educators. The hitherto available historical and educational literature lacks comprehensive and detailed information on his university education or professional training and qualifications. The present work attempts by no means to be exhaustive or to offer a comprehensive coverage of a full biography of Franciszek Majchrowicz as an educator and historian of education. It merely complements some facts and explanations that have already been published earlier, and provides some new information that may help resolve doubts concerning certain aspects of his professional career presented in the hitherto published body of works on the subject. It is mostly due to the archival material from Lvov (this mainly comprises students catalogues and minute books of doctoral examinations from the National District Archive), constituting the source base for the present work, that providing complete answers to such issues as the course of Majchrowicz’s studies, his doctoral dissertation procedure and the scope of his teacher’s examination, have become possible. The above source material made it also possible to conclude with certain remarks regarding the masters Majchrowicz had in great esteem and their influence upon research and academic interests of the Lvov-based educator and historian of education.

Pomorski Krajowy Zakład dla Głuchoniemych w Wejherowie w latach 1921–1939. Wprowadzenie do badań
Authors: Pękowska Marzena
Published: October 2020

In the interwar period there was an intensive development of the theory and practice of pedagogy in Poland. At that time new schools and centers for children with disabilities were created, including for the deaf-mute. In 1921 the Pomeranian National Institute for the deaf and mute was established in Wejherowo. The paper presents the circumstances of the institution’s creation, its organization, rules of admission for pupils, curriculum and social life. Also provided is information on the authority of the Department and the teaching staff. In order to discuss these issues, source materials, stored in the Gdynia branch of the State Archive in Gdansk and held by the Educational-Instructional Centre for the Deaf Mute No. 2 in Wejherowo were used.
Noncontact Knee Soft-Tissue Injury Prevention Considerations and Practical Applications for Netball Players
Authors: Mullally Elaine M. , Clark Nicholas C.
Published: October 2020

Netball is a team sport played worldwide. High-risk landing events containing biomechanical potential for noncontact knee soft-tissue injury (STI) occur frequently. Subsequently, noncontact knee STI is common after knee abduction collapse during landing tasks. Lower-limb mobility, strength, balance, movement, and hop test characteristics (intrinsic, modifiable risk factors) are associated with high-risk landing biomechanics and noncontact knee STI events. Such risk factors should be considered in netball-specific noncontact knee STI prevention preparticipation screening. Corresponding training methods should be included as indicated in netball-specific multimodal noncontact knee STI prevention programs. This article provides insight into noncontact knee injury–related aspects of netball and gives detailed suggestions for injury prevention screening and programming.

THE EFFECTIVENESS OF INTERNAL AUDIT FUNCTIONS IN MANAGING CYBERSECURITY IN MALAYSIA'S BANKING INSTITUTIONS
Authors: Shamsuddin Amanuddin
Published: October 2020

This research aimed to explore the effectiveness of internal audit in managing cybersecurity in Malaysia’s Banking Institutions. This research examined three factors that would most likely affect the effectiveness of internal audit in managing cybersecurity in Malaysia’s Banking Institutions. Those factors are the awareness of internal auditors about cybersecurity, organizational policy on cybersecurity and organizational risk management on cybersecurity. This study employed survey questionnaire in getting the data from the internal auditors of the sampled banking institutions. A total of 120 questionnaires were gathered from seven commercial banks. Findings from this study showed that all the three identified factors have significant relationships with the effectiveness of internal audit in managing cybersecurity in Malaysia’s Banking Institutions. The findings from this study can be used by the relevant authorities and organizations in coming up with policies and procedures to manage cybersecurity better. Besides, this study would enrich the knowledge and literature on cybersecurity in Malaysia that is still lacking presently.
Analysis of groundwater levels in piezometers in the Vipava Valley
Authors: Jelovčan Mateja , Šraj Mojca
Published: October 2020

The Vipava Valley is a unique region in south-western Slovenia. In addition to surface water, groundwater is also important, although it is hidden from the eye. The paper presents an analysis of groundwater levels in piezometers in the Vipava Valley. The analysis was performed on 10 piezometers, which are still operating today, and includes a display of levels and basic statistics, correlations, the impact of distance from the Vipava riverbed, trends, and seasonality. According to the groundwater level, piezometers in the Vipava Valley can be divided into three groups. The first group with the highest levels includes piezometers Gradišče, Vipavski Križ, and Ajdovščina, the second group piezometers Prvačina, Šempeter, Volčja Draga, Renče, and Vrtojba, and the third group with the lowest groundwater levels includes the piezometers Miren and Orehovlje. The results of the analyses showed good or bad connections between groundwater levels in piezometers, as well as between groundwater levels and the Vipava River water level at various gauging stations. The fluctuation of the groundwater level is conditioned by the distance from the Vipava riverbed and the area’s geological or tectonic structure. An unambiguous trend of groundwater levels cannot be determined. The seasonality of groundwater level fluctuations is not pronounced, but the highest values of groundwater levels occur in autumn and winter, and the lowest in summer.
The Nuclear Receptor Seven Up Regulates Genes Involved in Immunity and Xenobiotic Response in the AdultDrosophilaFemale Fat Body
Authors: Weaver Lesley N , Drummond-Barbosa Daniela
Published: October 2020

The physiology of organisms depends on inter-organ communication in response to changes in the environment. Nuclear receptors are broadly expressed transcription factors that respond to circulating molecules to control many biological processes, including immunity, detoxification, and reproduction. Although the tissue-intrinsic roles of nuclear receptors in reproduction have been extensively studied, there is increasing evidence that nuclear receptor signaling in peripheral tissues can also influence oogenesis. We previously showed that the Drosophila nuclear receptor Seven up (Svp) is required in the adult fat body to regulate distinct steps of oogenesis; however, the relevant downstream targets of Svp remain unknown. Here, we took an RNA sequencing approach to identify candidate Svp targets specifically in the adult female fat body that might mediate this response. svp knockdown in the adult female fat body significantly downregulated immune genes involved in the first line of pathogen defense, suggesting a role for Svp in stimulating early immunity. In addition, we found that Svp transcriptionally regulates genes involved in each step of the xenobiotic detoxification response. Based on these findings, we propose a testable model in which Svp functions in the adult female fat body to stimulate early defense against pathogens and facilitate detoxification as part of its mechanisms to promote oogenesis.
