Authors: Agarwal Monika , Rani Geeta , Agarwal Shilpy , Dhaka Vijaypal Singh 
Published: July 2020

Aims:
The manuscript aims at designing and developing a model for optimum contrast enhancement of an input
image. The output image of model ensures the minimum noise, the maximum brightness and the maximum entropy
preservation.

Objectives:
* To determine an optimal value of threshold by using the concept of entropy maximization for segmentation of all types
of low contrast images.
* To minimize the problem of over enhancement by using a combination of weighted distribution and weighted
constrained model before applying histogram equalization process.
* To provide an optimum contrast enhancement with minimum noise and undesirable visual artefacts.
* To preserve the maximum entropy during the contrast enhancement process and providing detailed information recorded
in an image.
* To provide the maximum mean brightness preservation with better PSNR and contrast.
* To effectively retain the natural appearance of an images.
* To avoid all unnatural changes that occur in Cumulative Density Function.
* To minimize the problems such as noise, blurring and intensity saturation artefacts.

Methods:
1. Histogram Building.
2. Segmentation using Shannon’s Entropy Maximization.
3. Weighted Normalized Constrained Model.
4. Histogram Equalization.
5. Adaptive Gamma Correction Process.
6. Homomorphic Filtering.

Results:
Experimental results obtained by applying the proposed technique MEWCHE-AGC on the dataset of low
contrast images, prove that MEWCHE-AGC preserves the maximum brightness, yields the maximum entropy, high value
of PSNR and high contrast. This technique is also effective in retaining the natural appearance of an images. The
comparative analysis of MEWCHE-AGC with existing techniques of contrast enhancement is an evidence for its better
performance in both qualitative as well as quantitative aspects.

Conclusion:
The technique MEWCHE-AGC is suitable for enhancement of digital images with varying contrasts. Thus
useful for extracting the detailed and precise information from an input image. Thus becomes useful in identification of a
desired regions in an image.

Authors: Milne-Ives Madison , Lam Ching , van Velthoven Michelle , Meinert Edward 
Published: July 2020

Background
Obesity is a contributing factor for many noncommunicable diseases and a growing problem worldwide. Many mobile apps have been developed to help users improve their fitness and weight management behaviors. However, the speed at which apps are created and updated means that it is important to periodically assess their quality.

Objective
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the quality of fitness and weight management mobile health apps using the Mobile Application Rating Scale (MARS). It will also describe the features of the included apps and compare the results to a previous evaluation conducted in 2015.

Methods
Searches for “fitness,” “weight,” “exercise,” “physical activity,” “diet,” “eat*,” and “food” will be conducted in the Apple App Store and Google Play. Apps that have been updated over the past 5 years will be included. Two reviewers will rate the apps’ quality using the MARS objective and subjective quality subscales. Interrater reliability will also be assessed. Features included in high-quality apps will be assessed, and changes in quality, features, and behavior change techniques made during the past 5 years will be described.

Results
The results will be included in the evaluation paper, which we aim to publish in 2020.

Conclusions
This evaluation will assess the quality of currently available fitness and weight management apps.

Regional Infoveillance of COVID-19 Case Rates: Analysis of Search-Engine Query Patterns
Authors: Cousins Henry C , Cousins Clara C , Harris Alon , Pasquale Louis R 
Published: July 2020

Background
Timely allocation of medical resources for coronavirus disease (COVID-19) requires early detection of regional outbreaks. Internet browsing data may predict case outbreaks in local populations that are yet to be confirmed.

Objective
We investigated whether search-engine query patterns can help to predict COVID-19 case rates at the state and metropolitan area levels in the United States.

Methods
We used regional confirmed case data from the New York Times and Google Trends results from 50 states and 166 county-based designated market areas (DMA). We identified search terms whose activity precedes and correlates with confirmed case rates at the national level. We used univariate regression to construct a composite explanatory variable based on best-fitting search queries offset by temporal lags. We measured the raw and z-transformed Pearson correlation and root-mean-square error (RMSE) of the explanatory variable with out-of-sample case rate data at the state and DMA levels.

Results
Predictions were highly correlated with confirmed case rates at the state (mean r=0.69, 95% CI 0.51-0.81; median RMSE 1.27, IQR 1.48) and DMA levels (mean r=0.51, 95% CI 0.39-0.61; median RMSE 4.38, IQR 1.80), using search data available up to 10 days prior to confirmed case rates. They fit case-rate activity in 49 of 50 states and in 103 of 166 DMA at a significance level of .05.

Conclusions
Identifiable patterns in search query activity may help to predict emerging regional outbreaks of COVID-19, although they remain vulnerable to stochastic changes in search intensity.
Understanding the Extent of Adolescents’ Willingness to Engage With Food and Beverage Companies’ Instagram Accounts: Experimental Survey Study
Authors: Lutfeali Samina , Ward Tisheya , Greene Tenay , Arshonsky Josh , Seixas Azizi , Dalton Madeline , Bragg Marie A 
Published: July 2020

Background
Social media platforms have created a new advertising frontier, yet little is known about the extent to which this interactive form of advertising shapes adolescents’ online relationships with unhealthy food brands.

Objective
We aimed to understand the extent to which adolescents’ preferences for Instagram food ads are shaped by the presence of comments and varying numbers of “likes.” We hypothesized that adolescents would show the highest preferences for ads with more “likes” and comments. We predicted that these differences would be greater among adolescents who were “heavy social media users” (ie, >3 hours daily) vs “light social media users” (ie, <3 hours daily).

Methods
We recruited Black and non-Latinx White adolescents (aged 13-17 years; N=832) from Dynata, a firm that maintains online participant panels. Participants completed an online survey in which they were randomized to view and rate Instagram food ads that either did or did not show comments. Within each condition, adolescents were randomized to view 4 images that had high (>10,000), medium (1000-10,000), or low (<100) numbers of “likes.” Adolescents reported ad preferences and willingness to engage with the brand.

Results
Adolescents rated ads with medium or high numbers of “likes” higher than ads with few “likes” (P=.001 and P=.002, respectively). Heavy social media users (>3 hours/day) were 6.366 times more willing to comment on ads compared to light users (P<.001).

Conclusions
Adolescents interact with brands in ways that mimic interactions with friends on social media, which is concerning when brands promote unhealthy products. Adolescents also preferred ads with many “likes,” demonstrating the power of social norms in shaping behavior. As proposed in 2019, the Children’s Online Privacy and Protection Act should expand online advertising restrictions to include adolescents aged 12 to 16 years.

Failure of therapy is a result of bad adherence medication. Non-adherence to therapy is a major factor that is suspected to result in uncontrolled blood pressure in hypertensive patients resulting in more serious complications. Therefore it is important to increase the adherence rate of treatment in patients with hypertension in the treatment process. For this reason, the need for interventions to improve adherence with several aspects that can be changed. This study uses One Group Pretest-Posttest Design using 100 samples. Data derived from questionnaires containing 25 items of adherence to therapy, 5 items of knowledge, 4 items of trust, 3 items of motivation, 10 items of family support with nonparametric statistical tests used were Mc Nemar test. Mc Nemar test results indicate that there is a significant difference between adherence at the pre-test and at the post-test after counseling with a significance value (p = 0,000). The results also showed that there was a difference in knowledge with a significance value (p = 0.001), motivation with a value (p = 0.031) and family support with a value (p = 0,000). The education with counseling about knowledge, trust, motivation and family support is effective in increasing compliance. There are other changeable factors such as lifestyle education, patient doctor relationships, and the use of smartphone applications for self-reported therapy can improve adherence in patients thereby minimizing therapy failure. Other educational methods that can be used besides counseling are counseling and dissemination of social media information.

Published: July 2020

Environmental learning in the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic requires 21st-Century learning innovation which promotes Higher-Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) of which ILMIZI is the potential learning model. The purpose of this study was to measure the students’ HOTS using HOTS Assessment based on Environmental Problem of COVID-19 (HOTS-AEP-COVID-19) and describe the syntax of ILMIZI model for the implementation of e-learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. The research subjects used were 172 senior high school students randomly selected from Bekasi City in several schools. The descriptive research used online survey as the data collection technique. The results showed that the students HOTS scores measured using HOTS-AEP-COVID-19 were still in very low category either for all students (22.83) or male students (21.32) and female students (23.82). Hence, the ILMIZI model need further evaluation to be implemented as an alternative for the 21st-Century environmental learning.

Authors: Arfiansyah Arfiansyah 
Published: July 2020

This article aims to explore the role of adat in solving women's and children's issues. During this time, Adat often viewed as a source of doom for women and children. Indigenous peoples who are influenced by the interpretation of Islamic teachings that misogamist often positions women and children under the control of male power. The article seeks to find answers on whether Adat can contribute otherwise, improve the state of women and Adat? By observing ethnographic Adat developments in central Aceh District and Bener Meriah, this article offers the opposite view. That as part of solving women's and children's issues, Adat should not be taken captive but should be approached, influenced, and used to improve the state of women and children. Abstrak: Artikel ini berupaya mengekplorasi tentang peran adat dalam penyelesaian masalah perempuan dan anak. Selama ini adat sering sekali dipandang sebagai sumber malapetaka bagi perempuan dan anak. Adat yang patriakis dan dipengaruhi oleh penafsiran ajaran Islam yang misogamist kerap memposisikan perempuan dan anak di bawah control kuasa laki-laki. Artikel berusaha mencari jawaban apakah adat dapat berkontribusi sebaliknya, memperbaiki keadaan perempuan dan adat? Dengan mengamati perkembangan adat secara etnografis di Kabupaten Aceh Tengah dan Bener Meriah, artikel ini menawarkan pandangan sebaliknya. Dia menawarkan bahwa sebagai bagian penyelesaian masalah perempuan dan anak, adat seharusnya tidak dilawan, tapi harus didekati, dipengaruhi, dan digunakan untuk memperbaiki keadaan perempuan dan anak.
Implementasi Aspek Pendidikan dalam Al-Qur'an Surat Al-Ahzab 21 bagi Pendidik Era Millenial
Authors: Nurdin Nurdin 
Published: July 2020

Today, very few educators adopt and apply educational methods as mentioned in the Quran. They seem to appreciate Western education theory more. Lack of understanding of the Quran is believed to contribute to this shift. The Quran offer many concepts related to education such as methods, techniques, strategies, and other aspects of teaching and learning that are crucial in instilling religious values to the youth. This qualitative study seeks to explore aspects of education especially those mentioned in the Surah Al-Ahzab verse 21 and how educators can apply values in their teaching to the youth. The findings show that the Surah Al-Ahzab:21 talks about one of the educational aspects referred to as uswatun hasanah, aspects of role models practiced by the Prophet Muhammad PBUH. This includes honesty, trustworthy, wise and smart, and conveying which everybody needs to implement in all aspects of their daily life.Abstrak: Dewasa ini para pendidik sedikit sekali mengadopsi dan menerapkan metode pendidikan seperti yang disebutkan dalam Al-Quran. Mereka tampaknya lebih menghargai teori pendidikan Barat. Hal ini diyakini sebagai akibat kurangnya pemahaman atas Al-Quran Faktanya, kita dapat menemukan banyak hal yang berkaitan dengan pendidikan dalam AlQuran yang mencakup metode, teknik, strategi, dan aspek pengajaran dan pembelajaran lainnya yang penting dalam proses mendidik generasi muda yang religius. Penelitian kualitatif ini berusaha menggali aspek pendidikan terutama yang disebutkan dalam AlQur'an Surat Al-Ahzab ayat 21 dan bagaimana pendidik dapat menerapkan nilai-nilai dalam pengajaran mereka tentang generasi muda. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa terdapat aspek pendidikan yang terkandung dalam Surah Al-Ahzab ayat 21 yang dikenal sebagai 'uswatun hasanah' atau aspek model peran seperti yang dipraktikkan oleh Nabi Muhammad saw. Ini mencakup pemodelan sikap' (jujur), 'amanah' (dapat dipercaya), sikap 'fathanah' (menjadi bijaksana dan pintar), dan sikap 'tabligh' (menjadi komunikatif) yang perlu diimplementasikan dalam semua aspek kehidupan sehari-hari seseorang.
Pemikiran Islam Modern Syed Muhammad Naquib Al-Attas
Authors: Nuryanti Makhfira , Hakim Lukman 
Published: July 2020

Al-Attas is one of the figures whose ideas continue to be the current discussion and reference in highlighting Islam as a worldview in this contemporary time. Broadly speaking, the underlying thought of al-Attas is about the condition of the decline of Muslims in various living systems, especially in the educational sector and the development of science. In his works, al-Attas is generally focus on the idea of restoring the value of Islam as a worldview (re-actualization of Islamic teachings), carrying the independence of Islam from the dependency on the Western civilization (westernization) and from the idea of de-secularization. This is an effort to integrate Islamic science and restore the harmony between Islam and science. Therefore, al-Attas offers several renewal concepts such as: First, the Islamization of science, that is the process of deconstruction of Western science and then reconstruct into the Islamic knowledge system. Second, the concept of Islamic education that aims to create a perfect human being, a person who is aware of their individuality and relationship with God, society, and nature. Both are the embodiments of the re-actualization of the rise of Islamic civilization.Abstrak: Al-Attas adalah salah satu tokoh yang pemikirannya terus menjadi perbincangan dan acuan dalam menyoroti Islam sebagai pandangan dunia di era kontemporer ini. Secara garis besar, yang melandasi pemikiran al-Attas adalah situasi kemunduran umat Islam dalam berbagai sistem kehidupan, terutama dalam dunia pendidikan dan perkembangan ilmu pengetahuan. Maka dari itu, memang dalam karya-karyanya, al-Attas secara umum memfokuskan pemikirannya dalam mengembalikan nilai Islam sebagai pandangan dunia (reaktualisasi ajaran Islam), mengusung kemandirian Islam dari jeratan peradaban Barat (dewesternisasi) dan gagasan desekularisasi, suatu upaya mengintegrasikan ilmu-ilmu keislaman, mengembalikan keharmonisan antara agama (Islam) dengan sains. Untuk itu, al-Attas menawarkan beberapa konsep pembaharuan, seperti islamisasi ilmu yang merupakan proses dekonstruksi terhadap ilmu pengetahuan Barat untuk kemudian direkonstruksi ke dalam sistem pengetahuan Islam, dan konsep pendidikan Islam yang bertujuan menciptakan manusia paripurna, yaitu manusia yang sadar akan individualitasnya dan hubungannya yang tepat dengan Tuhan, masyarakat, dan alam. Keduanya adalah perwujudan dari reaktualisasi kebangkitan peradaban Islam.
