Published: March 2020

The blind and visually impaired individuals are the citizens that exists in any society. Their blindness and visual impairment prevent them from using computers, operating digital devices, learning educational software, and restricting them from gaining certain knowledges. One of the most proven techniques for people with visual impairments to gain knowledge is to become proficient in Braille. Braille is represented by six dots arranged in a 3x2 matrix and can be read receptively only by the sense of touch. The common way of learning Braille is one-to-one technique between students and teachers. They use bulky devices which is inconvenient, not portable and costly. In fact, learning Braille always requires teachers to be present. People with visual impairments need special tools or tutorials to master the Braille language. This research introduces Braille Fingers Puller (BFP) self-learning device which is autonomous, low-cost, user-friendly, and portable with self-learn and self-test functions. Prior to the current device development, a Braille Finger Puller acceptance model is proposed based on seven factors that influence the BFP behavioral pattern which are perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, performance, satisfaction, emotion, attitude, and comfort. The Braille Fingers Puller is tested with the blind association and finding shows that all factors except comfort factor have high score toward the intention to use BFP. Further improvement of the self-learning device is suggested in order to make it more comfortable for the visually impaired person to use.

Published: March 2020

The increasing development of the textile industry in Indonesia has resulted in a negative effect on the dyes' wastewater that can pollute the environment. There are several methods developed to reduce the dyestuff levels in water pollution, such as coagulation and flocculation, membrane filtration, adsorption, precipitation, photocatalytic degradation, ion exchange, advanced oxidation, and biological treatment. In order to find out the solution, it is necessary to process liquid dyes waste, which has several advantages, including the relatively low cost and high efficiency in the process of absorbing liquid dyes. Commercial Chitosan and Pectin, Bisphenol A Diglysidyl Ether (BADGE) were purchased from Sigma Aldrich (Germany), Aceton, Acetic Acid 5%, and Aquadest. Mesoporous Pectin-Chitosan crosslinked BADGE (Pec-Chi-BADGE) membrane was successfully synthesized by the coacervation method, by mixing chitosan solution in 5% acetic acid and pectin solution in aqua dest, then added BADGE as a crosslinker to the solution. The structure and surface characteristics of Chi-Pec-BADGE membranes were analysed using Fourier transform infra-red (FTIR) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and XRD. Based on the FTIR characterization indicate that pectin chitosan crosslinked BADGE was successfully synthesized. The results showed that Chi-Pec-BADGE membranes could show the shift of peaks characterized by FTIR meant interactions of functional groups carboxyl, amine, and hydrogen. The results of XRD show that the Chi-Pec-BADGE membranes characteristic was amorphous. Furthermore, SEM data shows that the structure of the adsorbent was porous.

Published: March 2020

In industrial contexts to date, there are several solutions to monitor and intervene in case of anomalies and/or failures. Using a classic approach to cover all the requirements needed in the industrial field, different solutions should be implemented for different monitoring platforms, covering the required end-to-end. The classic cause-effect association process in the field of industrial monitoring requires thorough understanding of the monitored ecosystem and the main characteristics triggering the detected anomalies. In these cases, complex decision-making systems are in place often providing poor results. This paper introduces a new approach based on an innovative industrial monitoring platform, which has been denominated SMILE. It allows offering an automatic service of global modern industry performance monitoring, giving the possibility to create, by setting goals, its own machine/deep learning models through a web dashboard from which one can view the collected data and the produced results. Thanks to an unsupervised approach the SMILE platform can understand which the linear and non-linear correlations are representing the overall state of the system to predict and, therefore, report abnormal behavior.

In this research, we have succeeded in making thin-films for flexible, transparent, and conductive (FTC) electrodes based on silver nanowires. The synthesis of silver nanowires is carried out at low temperatures, namely at 60 to 130 oC. The materials used in the synthesis of AgNWs are polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) as a capping agent and Iron (III) chloride hexahydrate (FeCl3”¢6H2O) as a precursor to controlling the size of silver nanowires. Furthermore, the silver nanowires colloid then created a thin layer over the polycarbonate (PC) substrate by the roll to roll process. The Result shows that the formation of silver nanowires occurred at low temperatures of about 90 °C. The optimum condition of silver nanowires has obtained synthesis at the temperature of 110 °C with the average diameter of (100 ± 20) nm and length (30 ± 15) Î¼m. The silver nanowires will increase in length and diameter at low-temperature and decrease at high temperatures .The transmittance of FTC film silver nanowires about 76-95% at a wavelength of 550 nm. The absorbance coefficient of FTC film silver nanowires has increased from 2.7 to 29.2 cm-1 at wavelength range 400 to 700 nm. The sheet resistance of the FTC film by varying the number of layers obtained of 905.2, 340.7, 21.9, and 3.4 Î©.sq-1 with the transmittance obtained at 76.7 to 95.8%. The number of layers of silver nanowires will increase the sheet resistance and decrease the optical transmittance of the FTC film.

Underwater 3D reconstruction techniques such as underwater photogrammetry are the latest trend in low cost survey techniques. This article explains how the data acquisition process is up to the process of producing an underwater photo map. Automatic data processing for coral reef objects from the initial data acquisition stage to building 3D models from seabed objects to rendering in virtual reality. In this paper, underwater photogrammetry was applied with SfM (Structure from Motion) algorithm in performing 3D reconstruction of coral reefs that will be produce orthophoto map. Geodetic measurements also performed to the model for control point. The analysis will be divided into t-test and F-test. From the processing, coral reef modeling has obtained the result of a linear error which t-test produce <50% data, both at 95% and at 99 % confidence level. The F-test gain a positive value where the point value used in the linear error test on marker L and K, the value at Î± = 0.05. The 3D coral reef model in the resulting orthophoto still has weaknesses, for example the color appearance that depends on the level of clarity of the water as well as the camera filter used. However, in 2D display is sufficient and can be an alternative to other methods, for example, the LIT method.

PurposeSupervision plays a critical role in the development of rehabilitation counselors. Research and accreditation standards have long called for the appropriate training of rehabilitation counseling supervisors but have offered little in the way of topical suggestions for such trainings.MethodsThe present study used the Delphi method. A panel of 33 subject matter experts participated in three rounds of data collection to establish supervision topics that would be both beneficial and of a high priority to site supervisors working with counselor education programs.FindingsResults were grouped according to high, moderate, and low priority with participants. Items identified by participants were grouped into one of six themes: supervision resources, supervision activities, supports provided by the institution, and aspects of supervision broken down according to the Tripartite Model of Supervision proposed by Schultz (2008).ConclusionsFindings can help educators consider the type of supervision training and delivery method most appropriate for their site supervisors.

Such Is Western: An Overview of the Australian Western via Ned Kelly Films
Authors: Hamilton Emma 
Published: March 2020

The very existence of such athing as the “Australian Western” has been the subject of scholarly debate. This article utilizes the lens of Ned Kelly filmic representations to explore the development of the Western genre in Australia, and especially the ways in which historical consonances and dissonances, and processes of transatlantic cultural exchange have led to the development of films that can be reasonably recognized as both distinctly Western and distinctly Australian. Thus, this article gives consideration to the history, production and themes of Ned Kelly filmic representation in order to illu­minate the development of the Western in Australia. Such consideration highlights the ways in which the Western genre functions as alanguage through which to explore the meaning of settlement in occupied spaces, but whose dialectic differences reflect particular national contexts and relationships to Hollywood soft power.„TAKI JEST WESTERN” — PRZEGLĄD AUSTRALIJSKIEGO WESTERNU NA PODSTAWIE FILMÓW O NEDZIE KELLYMSamo istnienie czegoś takiego jak „australijski western” jest tematem akademickiej dyskusji. Niniej­szy artykuł wykorzystuje pryzmat filmowych reprezentacji słynnego australijskiego bandyty Neda Kelly w celu zbadania rozwoju gatunku westernu w Australii, a w szczególności sposobów, w jakich historyczne harmonie i dysharmonie oraz procesy transatlantyckiej wymiany kulturowej doprowadziły do rozwoju filmy mogące być słusznie postrzegane zarówno jako wyraźnie westernowe, jak i wyraź­nie australijskie. Tak więc esej ten poddaje pod rozwagę historię, produkcję i tematykę filmowych interpretacji postaci Neda Kelly'ego, żeby rzucić światło na rozwój gatunku westernu w Australii. Taki wzgląd uwydatnia sposoby, w jakich gatunek westernu funkcjonuje jako język, przez który można badać znaczenie osadnictwa na kolonizowanych terenach, ale którego dialektalne różnice odzwiercie­dlają konkretne narodowe konteksty i powiązania z „miękką siłą” soft power Hollywoodu.

Znaczenie kontekstu sytuacyjnego w lokalnej polityce publicznej
Authors: Kotarba Bogusław 
Published: March 2020

The meaning of situational context in public policy at the local levelPublic policy is carried out at various levels of public authority. Among the entities involved in its implementation an important role is played by local government units, especially communes. The differentiation of the potentials of communes is the reason why in the same legal and institutional conditions various communes have different possibilities for the realization of their “own” public policy. These differences constitute a situational context, characteristic for each commune. The article analyzes the impact of this context on one of the levels of public policy set apart by B. G. Peters — programming. The thesis: Situational context seen as a set of multi-dimensional local determinants plays a key role in the programming of local public policies has been adopted and verified positively.

IDEA OF „THE UNCONSCIOUS GOD” — AFTER THE HOLOCAUST CONSIDER OF VICTOR FRANKLThe article presents an idea of „the unconscious God” of V. Frankl 1905–1997, a psychoana­lyst and afounder of so called „third Vienesse school”. Frankl, a prisoner of Auschwitz no. 119104 and Dachau, analyzes a modern World as a doctor psychiatrist and a philosopher. The author shows how experience of concentration camps 1942–1945 influences his moral philosophy. In his, avictim of the Holocaust, opinion, modern society is endlessly in crisis, which appears to begin in modern Europe. Frankl, in a book „The Unconscious God”, gives an option to modern human and also discusses on the one hand a pessimistic vision of „death of God” in Auschwitz M. Buber, H. Jonas, and on the other optimistic vision of neopsychoanalysis E. Fromm.

RETROACTIVE “TRIVIALIZATION OF FASCISM” ACCORDING TO EMILIO GENTILE’S CONCEPT The text is devoted to the concept of “retroactive trivialization of fascism” developed at the be­ginning of the 21st century by an Italian historian — Emilio Gentile. According to Gentile, the pheno­menon of “banalization of fascism”, inaugurated in the postwar years in neo-fascist memorialism and continued by some of the contemporary historians, consists in: 1 negation of totalitarian character of Italian fascism and presenting it as an authoritarian dictatorship of traditionalistic type; 2 challenging the existence of “positive” fascist ideology, and in 3 characterizing Mussolini’s regime as a perso­nal “duce” dictatorship created on the basis of traditional elites. In the Gentile’s concept, fascism constituted “an Italian road to totalitarianism”, was atotalitarian experiment having its own positive ideology and forming ademonstration of new, revolutionary, and totalitarian nationalism.

Introduction: The TCCNI has not been used to conduct a study in Indonesia previously. The researcher has thus conducted a study on technological competency as a caring in nursing instrument Indonesian version (TCCNI_IV). This study aims to examine the content validity and reliability of the TCCNI_IV. Methods: An exploratory sequential mixed method research design was used in this study. The researcher used closed-ended question asked of five (5) experts on the content of TCCNI-IV. The researcher explored the expert’s opinion about each statement of TCCNI_IV, and they required suggestions for the statements that were not relevant. Furthermore, the researcher analyzed and rewrote the statements according to the expert’s input. There are twenty-five (25) items in the TCCNI_IV involving technological knowledge and technological caring as an expression of caring in the nursing dimension. Furthermore, the researcher used the TCCNI_IV to gain quantitative data from the 135 nurses in the nursing wards of the hospitals. Based on a finite population of 208 nurses, a total of 135 samples (nurses) participated in the quantitative study. The selection of the participants was through simple random sampling. There were 135 nurses from the nursing wards in the hospitals (n=135) with experience of at least 1 year in nursing practice. The item content validity (I-CVI) and scale content validity (S-CVI) was tested. The reliability was determined using Cronbach’s alpha α.Results: The “item content validity of the TCCNI_IV ratings ranged from .60 to 1.0. The scale content validity index (S-CVI) was 0.936. The Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of .980 indicates there to be good reliability.Conclusion: The technological competency as a caring in nursing instrument Indonesian version (TCCNI_IV) is thus found to be valid and reliable. It is recommended that the developed instrument needs to be further tested for its reliability and validity in a larger setting.

Abstract
Background Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a severe health concern worldwide. HBV is a DNA virus with a rapid rate of mutation. Based on the heterogeneity of the HBV nucleotide sequence, the HBV strains are divided into ten genotypes, A to J, with a characteristic geographical distribution. Identifying and tracking the changes of HBV genotypes is important in epidemiological and transmission studies, predicting the risk for the development of severe liver disease and response to antiviral treatment. The present study was conducted to detect HBV genotypes and sub-genotypes in general population of different states and regions in Myanmar. Methods A total of 5,547 general adult population who residing at seven states, seven regions and Nay Pyi Taw Union Territory were screened for Hepatitis B Surface antigen (HBsAg) by Immunochromatgraphic test (ICT) in 2015. Of 353 HBsAg positive samples, HBV DNA were detected by using polymerase chain reactions (PCR) targeting the DNA sequences encoding the Pre-S region. A total of 153 PCR positive samples were preceded for genotyping by partial genome sequencing of both directions. The resulting sequences were then edited, aligned and compared with reference sequences using National Centre for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) web based genotyping tool. Results Three HBV genotypes; HBV/ C, HBV/ D and HBV/ B were detected in Myanmar, in which genotype HBV/ C (66.7%) was the most prevalent genotype followed by HBV/ D (32%) and HBV/ B (1.3%) respectively. Sub-genotyping revealed a total of 7 sub-genotypes within genotypes B, C and D: two (B4 and B5) in HBV/ B, three (C1, C5 and C7) in HBV/C and two (D3 and D6) in HBV/ D. Conclusion Genotype HBV/C, sub-genotype C1 was the most predominant genotype distributed in all states and regions of Myanmar. This study was first report on Nation- wide distribution of HBV genotype and sub-genotypes in Myanmar and the findings will be a huge support for hepatitis disease surveillance programme which is the one of the National Priority Diseases in Myanmar.
