Published: July 2020

Abstract
Internet data has grown very fast and becomes very large. Thus continuous improvement will always be required to face this challenge. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are defined by the United Nations (UN) to encourage improvements in the field of life in each country. We proposed a combination of Distributed System (RabbitMQ) and Machine Learning (Naïve Bayes Classifier) as one of the support to measure the achievement level of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Indonesia. The methods will categorize the Detik.com news into two classes; the relevant to SDGs of Indonesia and the irrelevant to SDGs of Indonesia. Our work shows that the use of the load-balance feature in RabbitMQ could shorten the processing time of the Naïve Bayes Classifier. RabbitMQ as a load-balancer can divide the workload equally, thus reducing the latency time of the Naïve Bayes Classifier classification process by 30.3 percent.

Published: July 2020

Abstract
An automated guided vehicle (AGV) is a robot that could use wires or indicators on the floor to navigate itself in an environment. These AGV’s use different types of guidance system depending on the application for which they are intended. Literature indicates that continues development have been done to improve those systems. In this project, the author is developing a cost effective and reliable multi-path following guidance system. It makes use of the NI Robotic Starter kit that is fitted with 4 digital infrared sensors to follow multiple paths made of a black tape on a white surface. The author programmed the AGV using a state machine where the middle 2 sensors are used to follow the line and the outer 2 sensors are used to control which path to follow. The results obtain proved the effectiveness of the developed guidance system as the AGV is effectively able to follow multiple paths while reducing the number of sensors needed to accomplish it.

Abstract
This paper deals with comparison and analysis of stator plate holder on Yokeless and segmented armature (YASA) machine. YASA topology consists of two rotors and one inner stator comprised of many independent segments. Core for stator uses Soft Magnetic Composite (SMC) to conduct the three-dimensional magnetic flux. All stator segments and concentrated winding are fixed with the aid of two annular plates. There are cavities on both plates which have the same shape as the shoe of the stator segment. Moreover, the deformation of the plates must be kept as low as possible and have very high yield strength because of stress from the bearing. A complex structure, high durability, and high electrical resistance are the challenges. Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is usually used as the plates, however high price and manufacturing cost remain an issue. Some other materials have a possibility and approach to PEEK capability. In this paper, candidate materials will be developed as a specimen and tested on the BH - Curve meter. The BH-Curve data provide simulation on Finite Element Magnetic Method (FEMM). The advantages and disadvantages are discussed in this paper. The analysis result demonstrates that other materials possess a similar capability as PEEK related to YASA stator plate holder.

Abstract
Understanding the pattern of hand gesture on research which designs a prosthetic hand has been popular subject in recent years. The hand gesture recognition relies heavily on the sensors, with electromyograph (EMG) sensor electrode being used the most. Previous researches have been using various recognition methods with different number of electrode. But, many of them used 12 to 4 electrodes. In this paper, we experimented the use of 3 to 2 electrodes to recognize hand gesture in open (HO), close (HC) wrist flexion (WF), and wrist extension (WE) condition. It used SVM method to recognize the extracted features from electrode signal. In this research, two scenarios between the use of 3 electrodes and then with the reduction to 2 electrodes are compared. SVM classification showed 96.35% as the best accuracy on experiment that used 3 electrodes and 97.16 % when it used 2 electrodes. Mean, standard deviation, and root mean square were being the best statistical features in recognizing HO, HC, WE and WF hand gesture.

Published: July 2020

Abstract
Sustainable energy supply plays a pivotal role in the successful deployment of electric vehicle charging station (EVCS). The EVCS’s daily operation is governed by the availability of resources to meet the energy requirements without any load rejection. Developing countries have now turned to renewable energy powered vehicles to reduce their dependency on fossil fuels. They have been successful in their attempts to deploy EVCS in their respective countries whilst constantly working on the improvement of this infrastructure. However, the same cannot be uttered in South Africa. The county has limited power-generating capacity, which limits it capability of fully sustaining the existing load. An additional burden on the already ailing grid could have dire consequences on the local grid. Load shedding is imposed on customers as a temporary solution in order to avoid imminent blackouts. Conversely the ever increasing fossil fuel prices threatens the livelihood of an ordinary citizen. As an increase in this resources leads to an increase in transportation cost and food prices. To combat this problems, an efficient, sustainable and cost effective electric vehicle charging station that will be beneficial to the grid as well as the environment is necessary. POET (performance, operation, equipment and technology) energy efficiency improvement and management framework is utilized as an effort to analyse and initiate a feasibility and sustainability of the system to be implemented, by holistically looking at the performance, operation, equipment as well as technology. The afore mention POET energy efficiency improvement and management will look into the two of the three processes, namely targeting and planning in fourth level: An engineering level as an attempt to improve the efficiency and economical nobility of the system. A review in to the impact of technological advancement, of the proposed grid-integrated hybrid peer to peer electric vehicle energy sharing at a Charging Station in South Africa will be conducted.

Published: July 2020

Abstract
The effects of pretreatment and homogenization on the microstructure of a new Al-6.7Zn-2.6Mg-2.0Cu-0.1Zr-0.3Sm alloy were investigated. The results show that severe dendritic segregation is visible at the grain boundaries of the as-cast microstructure, which consists of the η (Mg (Zn, Cu, Al)2), Al10Cu7Sm2 and Fe-rich phases. Besides, some small η and needle-shaped θ (Al2Cu) phases are distributed inside of the grains. After pretreatment at 400 °C for 10 h, the η phase and θ phase in the grains are dissolved, and Al3Zr particles are precipitated inside of the grains by homogeneous nucleation. However, dendritic segregation still exists at the grain boundaries. After homogenization annealing, the η phase present at the grain boundaries completely dissolves, and only a small number of Al10Cu7Sm2 and Fe-rich phases remain. The alloy microstructure becomes more uniform and the volume fraction of residual eutectic decreases to 0.70% after homogenization annealing. The optimal homogenization processing is determined as 400 °C/10 h + 470 °C/24 h, which is in perfect accordance with the results obtained via homogenizing kinetic analysis.
Divine hiddenness orde jureobjections to theism: You cannot have both
Authors: Hendricks Perry 
Published: July 2020

AbstractDe facto objections to theism purport to show that theism is false, whereas de jure objections to theism claim that, whether or not theism is true, belief in God is irrational. Divine hiddenness – the (supposed) fact that there are people who non-resistantly lack belief in God – is sometimes used as an argument against theism. In this article I will show that accepting the argument from divine hiddenness carries a high cost: it eliminates all de jure objections to theism. So atheists can either have de jure objections to theism or the objection from divine hiddenness, but they cannot have both.

Abstract
We investigated in a longitudinal multicenter cohort study functional cortical connectivity changes along the course of frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) from the prodromal stage of the diseases.
Electroencephalography (EEG) was recorded in 18 FTD and 18 AD patients at the prodromal stage of dementia, at dementia onset, and 3 years after dementia onset. Twenty healthy controls (HC) underwent EEG recordings at the same time interval as the patients.
Mutual information (MI) analysis measured the strength of functional network connectivity.
FTD and AD patients showed greater MI at the prodromal stage of dementia (FTD vs. HC P = 2 × 10−8; AD vs. HC P = 4 × 10–3). Local connectivity was higher in left and right frontal areas of FTD (P = 7 × 10−5 and 0.03) and in left and right posterior areas in AD (P = 3 × 10−5 and 5 × 10−5) versus HC.
We showed cortical hyperconnectivity at the prodromal stage of dementia in areas involved in the specific pathological process of FTD (frontal regions) and AD (posterior regions). Hyperconnectivity disappeared during follow-up, thus suggesting that it is an early electrophysiological feature of dementia, potentially useful to identify prodromal FTD and AD.
Labour Protections for Overseas Chinese Workers: Legal Framework and Judicial Practice
Authors: Halegua Aaron , Ban Xiaohui 
Published: July 2020

Abstract
The launch of China’s Belt and Road Initiative has brought attention to the dispatch of Chinese workers overseas. These vulnerable migrants are often charged high fees in China only to suffer wage abuses and work injuries abroad, where obtaining relief is often impossible. But what laws or regulations within China protect these workers, and how effective are they? This study takes an initial step towards answering those unexplored questions by analysing over 100 Chinese court decisions. While, for much of the China’s history, overseas workers were primarily seconded abroad by Chinese employers, a clear preference has emerged for sending workers through intermediary agencies that can charge fees and execute ‘service’ contracts. Nonetheless, the courts generally provide some relief to aggrieved workers who are dispatched through formal channels. However, a large number of workers go abroad through informal brokers. When disputes arise in these cases, judicial practice becomes very inconsistent. Ironically, workers sometimes fare better because the courts adopt a ‘strict liability’ approach that punishes the unregistered broker, ordering them to pay all compensation or refund all fees. But some judges punish the worker who entrusted an unregistered broker or worked abroad on a tourist visa. And other courts simply treat the matter as a contract or tort dispute. While aggrieved overseas workers who litigate in court face mixed results, this article also discusses why many workers never make it to the courthouse door. The conclusion offers proposals to enhance protections for overseas workers and discusses why it is important that China do so.

AbstractAims To compare the safety and efficacy of edoxaban combined with P2Y12 inhibition following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) presenting with an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) or chronic coronary syndrome (CCS).Methods and results In this pre-specified sub-analysis of the ENTRUST-AF PCI trial, participants were randomly assigned 1:1 to edoxaban- or vitamin K antagonist (VKA)-based strategy and randomization was stratified by ACS (edoxaban n = 388, VKA n = 389) vs. CCS (edoxaban n = 363, VKA = 366). Participants received edoxaban 60 mg once-daily plus a P2Y12 inhibitor for 12 months, or VKA combined with a P2Y12 inhibitor and aspirin 100 mg (for 1–12 months). The primary bleeding endpoint at 12 months occurred in 59 (15.2%) vs. 79 (20.3%) ACS patients [hazard ratio (HR): 0.73, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.59–1.02, P = 0.063], and in 69 (19.0%) vs. 73 (19.9%) CCS patients (HR: 0.94, 95%CI: 0.68–1.31, P = 0.708) with edoxaban- and VKA-based therapy, respectively [P for interaction (P-int) = 0.2741]. The main secondary endpoint (composite of CV death, myocardial infarction, stroke, systemic embolic events, or definite stent thrombosis) in ACS patients was 33 (8.5%) vs. 28 (7.2%) (HR: 1.16, 95%CI: 0.70–1.92), compared with 16 (4.4%) vs. 18 (4.9%) (HR: 0.91, 95%CI: 0.47–1.78) CCS patients with edoxaban and VKA-based therapy, respectively (P-int = 0.5573).Conclusions In patients with AF who underwent PCI, the edoxaban-based regimen, as compared with VKA-based regimen, provides consistent safety and similar efficacy for ischaemic events in patients with AF regardless of their clinical presentation.
A statistical approach to account for azimuthal variability in single-station HVSR measurements
Authors: Cheng Tianjian , Cox Brady R , Vantassel Joseph P , Manuel Lance 
Published: July 2020

SUMMARYThe horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio (HVSR) of ambient noise is commonly used to infer a site's resonance frequency (${f_{0,site}}$). HVSR calculations are performed most commonly using the Fourier amplitude spectrum obtained from a single merged horizontal component (e.g. the geometric mean component) from a three-component sensor. However, the use of a single merged horizontal component implicitly relies on the assumptions of azimuthally isotropic seismic noise and 1-D surface and subsurface conditions. These assumptions may not be justified at many sites, leading to azimuthal variability in HVSR measurements that cannot be accounted for using a single merged component. This paper proposes a new statistical method to account for azimuthal variability in the peak frequency of HVSR curves (${f_{0,HVSR}}$). The method uses rotated horizontal components at evenly distributed azimuthal intervals to investigate and quantify azimuthal variability. To ensure unbiased statistics for ${f_{0,HVSR}}$ are obtained, a frequency-domain window-rejection algorithm is applied at each azimuth to automatically remove contaminated time windows in which the ${f_{0,HVSR}}$ values are statistical outliers relative to those obtained from the majority of windows at that azimuth. Then, a weighting scheme is used to account for different numbers of accepted time windows at each azimuth. The new method is applied to a data set of 114 HVSR measurements with significant azimuthal variability in ${f_{0,HVSR}}$, and is shown to reliably account for this variability. The methodology is also extended to the estimation of a complete lognormal-median HVSR curve that accounts for azimuthal variability. To encourage the adoption of this statistical approach to accounting for azimuthal variability in single-station HVSR measurements, the methods presented in this paper have been incorporated into hvsrpy, an open-source Python package for HVSR processing.
Early rupture signals predict the final earthquake size
Authors: Colombelli Simona , Festa Gaetano , Zollo Aldo 
Published: July 2020

SUMMARYWhen a seismic rupture starts, the process may evolve into multiple ways, generating different size earthquakes. Contrasting models have been proposed to describe the evolution of the rupture process while limited observations at the scale of real earthquake data are available, so that a unifying theory is still missing. Here we show that small and large earthquake ruptures are different before the arrest and they do not exhibit a common, size-independent, universal behaviour. For earthquakes with magnitude 4 &lt; M &lt; 9 occurred in Japan, we measure the initial rate of the P-wave peak amplitude and show that this quantity is correlated to the final event magnitude and not affected by distance attenuation, thus being a proxy for the initiation time of the rupture process. While opening new views on the rupture preparation process, our findings can have significant implications on the effective development of fast and reliable methods for source characterization and ground shaking prediction.

Abstract

STUDY QUESTION
Is there an added diagnosis value of buccal cell FISH analysis compared with blood lymphocyte chromosomal investigations in patients with Turner syndrome (TS)?

SUMMARY ANSWER
Buccal cell FISH analysis, a non-invasive technique, modified the chromosomal results obtained with the blood karyotype in 17 patients (12%) of our cohort.

WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY
Few studies have evaluated buccal cell FISH analysis and compared them with blood karyotype in patients with TS.

STUDY DESIGN, SIZE, DURATION
A prospective, monocentric cohort study was conducted in a rare diseases centre (CMERC) between July 2017 and August 2019.

PARTICIPANTS/MATERIALS, SETTING, METHODS
In total, 142 adult patients with TS, and at least 5% 45,X cells in a previous blood karyotype, were recruited. All the patients’ files were included in the CEMARA database. This national database has been declared to the French data protection agency (CNIL approval number 1187326). In compliance with French law, consent regarding non-opposition to collect and use the data was obtained from each patient. A FISH analysis on a buccal smear was performed.

MAIN RESULTS AND THE ROLE OF CHANCE
The percentage of 45,X cells was identical between the two tissues in only 32.4% of cases. The discrepancy was higher than 41% for 12% of the cohort. The percentage of 45,X cells was higher in blood in 53 (37.3%) patients, and higher in buccal cells in 43 (30.3%) of cases. In 17 (12%) cases, the blood karyotype had to be reconsidered in regard to the buccal cell analysis.

LIMITATIONS, REASONS FOR CAUTION
It would have been interesting to evaluate karyotypes in cells from other tissues such as cells from skin biopsy or from the urinary tract and even from blood vessels or gonads in case of surgery and to compare them with each patient’s phenotype. However, most of the time, these tissues are not available.

WIDER IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS
Although blood lymphocyte karyotype remains the gold standard for the diagnosis of TS, buccal cell FISH analysis is an efficient tool to evaluate the global chromosomal constitution in these patients, thus allowing them to have better care and follow-up. For instance, identifying a Y chromosome can prevent the occurrence of a gonadoblastoma, as gonadectomy should be discussed. On the other hand, finding normal XX cells in a patient with a previous diagnosis of homogenous 45,X TS, may be psychologically helpful and relevant for gynaecological care.

Decentering International Relations: The Continued Wisdom of Latin American Dependency
Authors: Zambrano Márquez Diego Miguel 
Published: July 2020

AbstractAlthough many international relations (IR) theory and international political economy textbooks consistently reference dependency theory, it is commonly considered a passé, outdated, or defunct theoretical approach. This paper challenges conventional wisdom, stressing the continued relevance of dependency as an analytical approach. Overall, it argues that Dependency theory represents a successful effort at decentering IR. To do so, it first discusses decentering as an effort to challenge and engage core concepts in IR to transform the “universal” understandings of global politics. In this sense, Dependency theory decentered IR by introducing an understanding of the world in which Western and non-Western spaces are mutually constitutive, highlighting the role of non-core contexts in creating and maintaining the status quo of the universal. Second, the paper analyzes the influence of Dependency theory in modern discourses of political economy like the resource curse, globalization, Post-Colonialism, and Post-Developmentalism. These parallelisms show Dependency's effectiveness at decentering IR and transforming the way the discipline studies non-core spaces.
