Hubungan Kerapatan Vegetasi dan Bangunan terhadap UHI (Urban Heat Island) di Kota Magelang
Authors: Riyadi Febriyan , Rahayu Sri 
Published: November 2019

Urban Heat Island (UHI) adalah fenomena dimana suatu wilayah perkotaan lebih panas daripada wilayah disekitarnya. Faktor utama yang mempengaruhi terjadinya UHI adalah terjadinya konversi tutupan lahan vegetasi menjadi daerah terbangun akibat perkembangan kota. Hal tersebut mengakibatkan peningkatan suhu permukaan, dikarenakan kerapatan vegetasi yang berkurang dan meningkatnya kerapatan bangunan. Analisis yang digunakan adalah klasifikasi tak terbimbing untuk melihat perubahan tutupan lahan, analisis NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) untuk mengetahui perubahan vegetasi, analisis NDBI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) untuk mengetahui perubahan kerapatan bangunan, serta menggunakan LST (Land Surface Temperature) untuk mengetahui suhu permukaan suatu kota dan OLS (Ordinary Least Square) merupakan permodelan regresi berganda pada aplikasi ArcGis digunakan untuk mengetahui hubungan antar variabel tersebut. Hasil dalam penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa suhu rata-rata Kota Magelang pada tahun 2000 sebesar 22,58°C meningkat menjadi 27,11°C pada tahun 2016. Artinya suhu rata-rata Kota Magelang mengalami kenaikan sebesar 4,53°C. Hubungan antara kerapatan bangunan (x1) dan kerapatan vegetasi (x2) terhadap suhu permukaan (y) diketahui melalui formula OLS yang dihasilkan yaitu Y= 5,61 X1 – 1,34 X2 + 2,4.Hal ini berarti jika kerapatan bangunan meningkat dan kerapatan vegetasi berkurang, maka suhu permukaan meningkat.

The practical art of constructing database management systems (DBMSs) involves a morass of trade-offs among query execution speed, query optimization speed, standards compliance, feature parity, modularity, portability, and other goals. It is no surprise that DBMSs, like all complex software systems, contain bugs that can adversely affect their performance. The performance of DBMSs is an important metric as it determines how quickly an application can take in new information and use it to make new decisions.
Both developers and users face challenges while dealing with performance regression bugs. First, developers usually find it challenging to manually design test cases to uncover performance regressions since DBMS components tend to have complex interactions. Second, users encountering performance regressions are often unable to report them, as the regression-triggering queries could be complex and database-dependent. Third, developers have to expend a lot of effort on localizing the root cause of the reported bugs, due to the system complexity and software development complexity.
Given these challenges, this paper presents the design of Apollo, a toolchain for automatically detecting, reporting, and diagnosing performance regressions in DBMSs. We demonstrate that Apollo automates the generation of regression-triggering queries, simplifies the bug reporting process for users, and enables developers to quickly pinpoint the root cause of performance regressions. By automating the detection and diagnosis of performance regressions, Apollo reduces the labor cost of developing efficient DBMSs.
The Survival of the God Name Šarruma in Cilician Names in the Greek Sources
Authors: Adiego Ignasi-Xavier 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
This paper studies some Cilician names attested in Greek sources that contain the element ζαρμα-. The two main interpretative hypotheses – a connection to Luwian zalma-, or a connection to the god name Šarruma/Šarma- – are critically analysed. The conclusion reached is that while the ambiguity of ζαρμα- cannot be resolved, it is highly likely that both -sarma and -zarma really existed as different elements in the formation of personal names in Iron Age Hieroglyphic Luwian. There was probably a tendency towards confusion between -sarma and -zarma, caused by phonological proximity and semantic crossing of certain names.

Published: November 2019

Abstract
The rock reliefs of Sirkeli represent an important testimony among the Hittite monuments with hieroglyphic inscriptions. In addition to the relief of King Muwatalli, a second relief was identified in 1994, whose hieroglyphic inscription seemed irretrievably lost. Based on a cooperation between the Swiss Archaeological Mission at Sirkeli and the Centro Interistituzionale Euromediterraneo of the University Suor Orsola in Naples, a 3D survey with technologically advanced instruments was carried out in 2017. This contribution presents the first results of this project and the new perspectives that they offer for further research.
Neo-Assyrian Statues of Gods and Kings in Context
Authors: Nadali Davide , Verderame Lorenzo 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
Neo-Assyrian letters are a broad and interesting corpus of data to investigate how ancient Assyrians dealt with the manufacture of statues, the shaping of royal and divine effigies, and the final arrangement of sculptures. This paper aims to analyse the ritual and practical aspects of the making of images in the Neo-Assyrian period with reference to this corpus of letters, which reveals how Assyrian kings, officials and sculptors worked together for this purpose. It explores the role of the personnel involved, the process of the creation, and the final display of statues. Based on the interplay of texts and archaeological data, the study reveals the intense activity of making statues of gods and kings in Assyria, with the administration supervising both projects for new statues and the maintenance of already existing ones.
A review on CO oxidation, methanol synthesis, and propylene epoxidation over supported gold catalysts
Authors: Gaya Ndepana A. , Charles Victor , Joseph Innocent , Louis Hitler 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
The aim of this general review is to give an overview of the reaction pathways involving the transformation of carbon monoxide (CO), methanol synthesis and propylene epoxidation using gold (Au) and gold supported clusters. Over the catalyst system of Nano-gold (Au/SiO2), the process of methane to methanol was also highlighted. A reaction mechanism proposed, indicated that molecular oxygen was consumed in the oxidation–reduction cycle. Consequently, methane oxidation to methanol can be achieved as a green chemical process. The system can also be used in other green chemical processes of liquid phase or gas phase oxidations. Methanol is expected to be a potential solution to the partial deployment of fossil source-based economies. Moreover, it is a recognized energy carrier that is better than other alternatives in terms of transportation, storage and reuse. New or improved catalysts for methanol production are likely to be discovered in the near future.

AbstractBackground and objectivePlaying games for children is an instinct needed for ensuring happiness, it is a language for communication and self-expression, and a way to learn new things. Therefore, the present study aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of child-parent relationship therapy (CPRT) on the social skills of preschool children.MethodsAn experimental study with a pretest-posttest design was conducted on 60 preschool children in Kordkuy City, Golestan Province, Iran in 2017 by using a simple random sampling method in both the experimental and control groups. Routine preschool education was performed in the control group and in the experimentalgroup it was done based on play therapy protocol in 10 sessions for 45–60 min. The social skills questionnaire authored by Gresham and Elliott was used as a data gathering tool. The data were analyzed by SPSS 16.FindingsAn analysis of variance (ANOVA) test showed a significant difference between the scores of the experimental and control groups, which suggests that the CPRT model, a short-term plan of parental play therapy, can improve social skills in preschool children (p = 0/001).ConclusionRegarding the effectiveness of the CPRT, it is recommended that this method be used is an interactive-educational way in preschool centers of Iran.
The Heisenberg product seen as a branching problem for connected reductive groups, stability properties
Authors: Pelletier Maxime 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
In this article, we study, in the context of complex representations of symmetric groups, some aspects of the Heisenberg product, introduced by Marcelo Aguiar, Walter Ferrer Santos and Walter Moreira in 2017.
When applied to irreducible representations, this product gives rise to the Aguiar coefficients.
We prove that these coefficients are in fact also branching coefficients for representations of connected complex reductive groups.
This allows to use geometric methods already developed in a previous article, notably based on notions from geometric invariant theory, and to obtain some stability results on Aguiar coefficients, generalising some of the results concerning them given by Li Ying.
Understanding the Nature of Arab-Israeli Conflict: A Corpus-based Study of Semantic Prosody in Arabic Political Discourse
Authors: Sayaheen Bilal , Malkawi Mona Nabeel 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
The current study aims to investigate the nature of Arab-Israeli conflict in Arabic political discourse. This study seeks to examine the possibility of using a corpus-driven study of semantic prosody to analyze Arabic political discourse. The researchers compiled a bi-directional parallel corpus that consists of two types of King Abdullah II’s of Jordan speeches (Arabic and English). Then the researchers used WordSmith Tools in order to obtain the data required, i. e., which mostly consist of collocations associated with five selected nouns, (‘Israel,’ ‘Palestine,’ ‘Arab,’ ‘Islam,’ and ‘terrorism’), respectively along with their frequency. The results show a variation in the collocations used with the five nouns in both types of speeches and a variation in the occurrence of these nouns. While reflecting different thematic focus, this variation suggests different ideologies.

Published: November 2019

Abstract
This paper is concerned with establishing Lp estimates for a class of maximal operators associated to surfaces of revolution with kernels in Lq(Sn−1 × Sm−1), q > 1. These estimates are used in extrapolation to obtain the Lp boundedness of the maximal operators and the related singular integral operators when their kernels are in the L(logL)κ(Sn−1 × Sm−1) or in the block space
$\begin{array}{}
B^{0,\kappa-1}_ q
\end{array}$(Sn−1 × Sm−1). Our results substantially improve and extend some known results.
Plastic drawing response in the biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) process: polymer structure and film casting effects
Authors: Gloger Dietrich , Rossegger Elisabeth , Gahleitner Markus , Wagner Christina 
Published: November 2019

Abstract
Processing isotactic polypropylene (iPP) from cast film into biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) involves plastic drawing of a semi-crystalline morphology in the melting range of iPP, where the crystal phase is reduced and the polymer has high mobility. The literature claims that plastic drawing in general and at elevated temperatures in particular depends predominantly on the structure of the amorphous entanglement network. We investigated this aspect using laboratory-scale biaxial drawing experiments. Three iPP homopolymer types differing in chain isotacticity and molecular weight distribution were extruded into 200-μm-thick primary sheets using 10 different extrusion settings. The sheets were biaxially drawn on a laboratory stretcher at 157°C and 160°C, recording the respective stress-strain curves. These curves were evaluated according to a rubber elasticity model to obtain the network modulus, G
N, of the entanglement network. The effects of iPP type, the extrusion parameters, the resulting cast film properties, and the draw temperature on G
N are discussed.

Comparing the wine tasting notes of Jancis Robinson and Terry Theise: A stylistic analysis
Authors: Bell David Michael , Moran Theresa 
Published: November 2019

AbstractThis paper offers a stylistic analysis of the tasting notes (TNs) of wine writers Jancis Robinson and Terry Theise. We define linguistic style as those distinctive, consistent, and creative linguistic choices writers make beyond what is conventionally expected in a TN, which are only discernible by comparison to other wine reviewers. Using a corpus of Robinson’s and Theise’s TNs on German and Austrian wines 2012, we compare their TNs in terms of rhetorical and grammatical structure, use of descriptors, and other evaluative language. Robinson’s elliptical note-form style is characterized by adherence to canonical rhetorical structure, verbless clauses, extensive use of conventional metaphoric descriptors and limited use of object descriptors. Theise has an effusive, people-centered additive style characterized by non-conventional rhetorical structure, multiple phrase and clause and coordination, and extensive and exotic use of diverse object descriptors, personification, and intensifier + evaluative adjective phrases. We then connect their varying linguistic styles to their differing approaches to wine tasting.
A Decision-Making Framework for Blockchain Technology Selection

Published: November 2019

Abstract
As the concept of the visible product lifecycle and product tracking becomes important to consumers, emerging technologies such as Internet of Things (IoT)-based networks and Blockchain platforms are considered promising solutions by Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to increase their brand reputation, improve their consumers’ experiences, and reduce their operational costs. However, costly implementation, data verification issues, and the risk of uploading inaccurate information on those platforms have limited the adoption rate and capabilities offered by the aforementioned technologies. Companies often face the question of what type of distributed ledger technology and verification protocol is more efficient in terms of operational costs as well as security. The purpose of this study is to develop an optimization framework to make a trade-off between the cost of implementation of the technology and the security level. The framework is developed based on utility theory principles. The main focus is to discuss the cost associated with various aspects of technology implementation. Finally, this general cost framework is shown as a demo for an example of the food supply chain.
Cdk5-Dependent Phosphorylation of CaV3.2 T-Type Channels: Possible Role in Nerve Ligation-Induced Neuropathic Allodynia and the Compound Action Potential in Primary Afferent C Fibers

Published: November 2019

Voltage-gated T-type Ca2+(CaV3) channels regulate diverse physiological events, including neuronal excitability, and have been linked to several pathological conditions such as absence epilepsy, cardiovascular diseases, and neuropathic pain. It is also acknowledged that calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II and protein kinases A and C regulate the activity of T-type channels. Interestingly, peripheral nerve injury induces tactile allodynia and upregulates CaV3.2 channels and cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (Cdk5) in dorsal root ganglia (DRG) and spinal dorsal horn. Here, we report that recombinant CaV3.2 channels expressed in HEK293 cells are regulatory targets of Cdk5. Site-directed mutagenesis showed that the relevant sites for this regulation are residues S561 and S1987. We also found that Cdk5 may regulate CaV3.2 channel functional expression in rats with mechanical allodynia induced by spinal nerve ligation (SNL). Consequently, the Cdk5 inhibitor olomoucine affected the compound action potential recorded in the spinal nerves, as well as the paw withdrawal threshold. Likewise, Cdk5 expression was upregulated after SNL in the DRG. These findings unveil a novel mechanism for how phosphorylation may regulate CaV3.2 channels and suggest that increased channel activity by Cdk5-mediated phosphorylation after SNL contributes nerve injury-induced tactile allodynia.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTNeuropathic pain is a current public health challenge. It can develop as a result of injury or nerve illness. It is acknowledged that the expression of various ion channels can be altered in neuropathic pain, including T-type Ca2+channels that are expressed in sensory neurons, where they play a role in the regulation of cellular excitability. The present work shows that the exacerbated expression of Cdk5 in a preclinical model of neuropathic pain increases the functional expression of CaV3.2 channels. This finding is relevant for the understanding of the molecular pathophysiology of the disease. Additionally, this work may have a substantial translational impact, since it describes a novel molecular pathway that could represent an interesting therapeutic alternative for neuropathic pain.
Really the word is found … (On the Linguistic Characteristics and Reasons for the Popularity of toksichnyj (toxic), the “Word of the Year”)
Authors: Kazimianec Jelena 
Published: November 2019

The article deals with the semantics and syntactical features of the word toxic named “word of the year” (2018) by the Oxford Dictionary. In Russian, its analogue – toksichnyj – has also gained immense popularity and almost unlimited metaphorical compatibility in expressions that characterize interpersonal relationships. The author shows semantic and syntactic differences between the word токсичный (“toxic”) and its synonym ядовитый (“poisonous”). The article analyzes the word as a privately-estimated predicate that is species-specific with respect to the Russian predicate плохой (“bad”). The author proposes a hypothesis of the spread of this word in the language, associated with the transfer of the qualities of an inanimate object to an animate, characteristic of the modern representation of man as an artifact.

Abstract

Background
Although predictive value of immune-related adverse events (irAEs) induced by immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have been suggested by several studies, their assessments were insufficient because patients were categorized only by the occurrence of irAEs. It has not been elucidated whether irAEs also play a significant role even in responders.

Materials and Methods
Between December 2015 and September 2018, 106 patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer treated with ICIs were enrolled in our prospective biomarker study. Twenty-three of these were responders, defined as those with complete or partial response. We investigated the proportion of irAEs among overall and responders. For responders, progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival of ICIs were compared between those with and without irAEs. As an exploratory analysis, we measured 41 proteins from peripheral blood before and after ICI treatment.

Results
The proportion of irAEs was significantly higher in responders than nonresponders (65.2% vs. 19.3%, p &lt; .01). Among responders, clinical characteristics did not differ regardless of the occurrence of irAEs. However, there was a significant difference in PFS among responders (irAE group 19.1 months vs. non-irAE group 5.6 months; hazard ratio: 0.30 [95% confidence interval: 0.10–0.85]; p = .02). Of 41 protein analyses, fibroblast growth factor-2 at baseline and monocyte chemoattractant protein fold change showed significant differences between them (p &lt; .04).

Conclusion
Although this is a small sample–sized study, irAE might be a predictive factor of durable efficacy, even in patients who responded to ICIs. Investigation into the significance of irAEs in responders will contribute to the establishment of optimal administration of ICI.
