3D Stacked Cache Data Management for Energy Minimization of 3D Chip Multiprocessor
Authors: Kumar K. Suresh , Anitha S. , Gayathri M. 
Published: July 2021

In this model a runtime cache data mapping is discussed for 3-D stacked L2 caches to minimize the overall energy of 3-D chip multiprocessors (CMPs). The suggested method considers both temperature distribution and memory traffic of 3-D CMPs. Experimental result shows energy reduction achieving up to 22.88% compared to an existing solution which considers only the temperature distribution. New tendencies envisage 3D Multi-Processor System-On-Chip (MPSoC) design as a promising solution to keep increasing the performance of the next-generation high performance computing (HPC) systems. However, as the power density of HPC systems increases with the arrival of 3D MPSoCs with energy reduction achieving up to 19.55% by supplying electrical power to the computing equipment and constantly removing the generated heat is rapidly becoming the dominant cost in any HPC facility.

APPLICATION OF ZONAL AND CURVATURE FEATURES TO NUMERALS RECOGNITION
Authors: Kumar Prasad Binod 
Published: July 2021

Purpose of the study: The purpose of this work is to present an offline Optical Character Recognition system to recognise handwritten English numerals to help automation of document reading. It helps to avoid tedious and time-consuming manual typing to key in important information in a computer system to preserve it for a longer time.
Methodology: This work applies Curvature Features of English numeral images by encoding them in terms of distance and slope. The finer local details of images have been extracted by using Zonal features. The feature vectors obtained from the combination of these features have been fed to the KNN classifier. The whole work has been executed using the MatLab Image Processing toolbox.
Main Findings: The system produces an average recognition rate of 96.67% with K=1 whereas, with K=3, the rate increased to 97% with corresponding errors of 3.33% and 3% respectively. Out of all the ten numerals, some numerals like ‘3’ and ‘8’ have shown respectively lower recognition rates. It is because of the similarity between their structures.
Applications of this study: The proposed work is related to the recognition of English numerals. The model can be used widely for recognition of any pattern like signature verification, face recognition, character or word recognition in another language under Natural Language Processing, etc.
Novelty/Originality of this study: The novelty of the work lies in the process of feature extraction. Curves present in the structure of a numeral sample have been encoded based on distance and slope thereby presenting Distance features and Slope features. Vertical Delta Distance Coding (VDDC) and Horizontal Delta Distance Coding (HDDC) encode a curve from vertical and horizontal directions to reveal concavity and convexity from different angles.
A CASE STUDY OF KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT PRACTICES AT THE INTERCONTINENTAL HOTELS’ GROUP
Authors: Voegeli Christoph 
Published: July 2021

Purpose of the study: This study aims to gain an understanding of how (and if) the InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) manages knowledge to create value.
Methodology: Publicly available data about the IHG were assessed using Pawlowski and Bick’s (2015) Global Knowledge Management Framework (GKMFW) to determine the extent to which the IHG is implementing knowledge management (KM). Four experts reviewed the findings for validation.
Main findings: Knowledge management (KM) practices are used by the IHG at a basic level. Data collected in this study indicate that the IHG is not connecting KM processes in its strategy. This research highlights that the IHG and potentially other hotel companies could integrate KM to enhance their performance.
Applications of this study: The study’s findings are important for hotel industry stakeholders (academics, hotel executives, owners, etc.), assisting them to better understand “hotel KM”. Stakeholders are encouraged to implement holistic and purposeful KM programs (i.e., a framework), potentially delivering more value to their organizations.
Novelty/Originality of this study: This study is the first attempt to investigate KM activities in one major standard-setting hotel company (SSHC), as defined by Boardman and Barbato (2008). It highlights the limitations in hotel-specific KM research and the limited way in which KM is being applied in the InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG). It not only identifies a gap in the literature about KM in the hospitality industry but starts to fill this gap.
El tránsito de la crisis de 2007 a una política fiscal común en la UE: Los Eurobonos y el papel del BCE
Authors: Martinez-Maillo Toribio Fernando 
Published: July 2021

La crisis de origen financiero iniciada en 2007, el inacabado proceso de construcción de la Unión Económica y Monetaria, así como las deficiencias del Eurosistema puso de manifiesto las debilidades de la Unión Europea. El BCE frente al resto de bancos centrales del mundo, tuvo sus propias limitaciones que condicionaron su respuesta.
El compromiso de los gobiernos para mantener unas finanzas públicas saneadas, con mecanismos de respuesta en caso de incumplimiento, unido a una política monetaria común orientada a la estabilidad de precios residenciada en el BCE, parecían suficientes ante la inexistencia de instituciones comunes presupuestarias. Este modelo quebró en momentos de crisis, apareciendo la necesidad de avanzar en el proceso de construcción de una Unión Fiscal real.

La contribución de las reformas protestantes en la aparición de los derechos y libertades
Authors: Rosado-Villaverde Cecilia 
Published: July 2021

Nuestras actuales democracias son herederas de muchos de los fundamentos y nociones que se consolidaron durante los Estados liberales. Pero en la formación de estos estados influyeron diferentes aspectos que fueron trascendentales en el nacimiento de la organización política liberal. Uno de ellos fue el hecho o factor religioso. Se puede observar que las religiones extendidas en Europa y en Estados Unidos tuvieron cierta influencia, en mayor o menor medida, en los principios inspiradores que se reconocen en nuestros textos constitucionales. En este trabajo se pretende poner de relieve la relevancia que las Reformas protestantes tuvieron en el nacimiento de la libertad religiosa y de pensamiento, pero también en la propia concepción de las Declaraciones de derechos de finales del siglo XVIII.

La respuesta sancionadora al fenómeno de las cundas o los taxis de la droga
Authors: Martín Fernández Carmen 
Published: July 2021

El art. 36.17 de la Ley Orgánica 4/2015, de 30 de marzo, de Protección de la Seguridad Ciudadana (en adelante, LOPSC) tipifica como infracción administrativa grave «El traslado de personas, con cualquier tipo de vehículo, con el objeto de faci litar a éstas el acceso a drogas tóxicas, estupefacientes o sustancias psicotrópicas, siempre que no constituya delito». Con este precepto, el legislador persigue el fenó meno de las cundas o los taxis de la droga. Sin embargo, dada la redacción del pre cepto, parece que la conducta descrita también podría subsumirse en el tipo del delito de tráfico de drogas del art. 368 CP, en su vertiente de promoción, favorecimiento o facilitación del consumo ilegal de drogas tóxicas. En este trabajo se explican las diferencias existentes entre ambos ilícitos y se concluye que, si el traslado se realiza por petición del traficante, constituye complicidad del delito de tráfico de drogas, mientras que, si se realiza a petición del consumidor, constituye infracción adminis trativa de la LOPSC.

El derecho de huelga en la era digital: el esquirolaje tecnológico
Authors: Sánchez-Girón Martínez Beatriz 
Published: July 2021

Es de aceptación generalizada que las nuevas tecnologías y la digitalización están cambiando el marco de las relaciones laborales. El derecho fundamental de huelga, un derecho peculiar en cuanto a su reconocimiento constitucional y su escasa regulación, también se ha visto afectado por estos cambios. Las nuevas herramientas proveen al empresario de una mayor cantidad de instrumentos para controlar la organización empresarial y al propio trabajador. En este contexto garantizar el reconocimiento y ejercicio de los derechos fundamentales se hace imprescindible a la vez que complicado. Prueba de ello es el caso del esquirolaje tecnológico: si bien el esquirolaje tradicional ha sido prohibido en la medida en que atenta contra el fin de la huelga, el esquirolaje tecnológico encuentra justificación por no estar referido a trabajadores, si no a elementos tecnológicos. Atendiendo a casos concretos, los tribunales han dado respuestas a los problemas que origina el esquirolaje tecnológico apoyándose en una ponderación entre el ejercicio de un derecho fundamental y el poder organizativo empresarial. El poder del empresario ha crecido frente a las huelgas, lo que hace que se requiera un esfuerzo legislativo moderno para seguir protegiendo el derecho de huelga.

Os silêncios da História
Authors: BORRALHO HENRIQUE 
Published: July 2021

O presente artigo tem por objetivo discutir os silêncios na historiografia, em várias delas, na literária, sociológica, na filosófica, mas, sobretudo, na história. Silêncio é por vezes uma forma de poder, de poder ocultar o que não deve ser estandartizado, patrimonializado, base de uma memorialística, aquilo que não pode conter o arquivo pátrio, de patrimonialização, pai, o sustentáculo de uma nação. O silêncio sobre certos setores e categorias sociais foi alicerçada por uma hegemonia que ditou a forma como a compreensão artística, econômica, política, cientifica e até da própria razão, de um tipo de lógus racionalizante moldando a cultura, tornando-a irretorquível, estruturante, moduladora da vida, da percepção, da sensibilidade, da existência. Por que então usar o cógito invertido, a palavra, para denunciar os silêncios? Pela mesma razão que se usa uma linguagem para ampliar, subverter, modular a própria linguagem.Palavras-chave: Silêncio. Ocultamento. Linguagem. Inversão da fala. The silences of History ABSTRACTThis article aims to discuss the silences in historiography, in several of them, in the literary, sociological, philosophical, but, above all, in history. Silence is sometimes a form of power, of being able to hide what should not be standardized, patrimonialized, the basis of a memorial, what cannot contain the country's archive, patrimonialization, father, the mainstay of a nation. The silence about certain sectors and social categories was based on a hegemony that dictated the way in which the artistic, economic, political, scientific and even reason itself, a kind of rationalizing logus shaping culture, making it irrefutable, structuring, modulator of life, perception, sensitivity, existence. Why then use the inverted cogito, the word, to denounce silences? For the same reason that a language is used to amplify, subvert, modulate the language itself.Keywords: Silence. Concealment.

ANALYSIS OF THE PERFORMANCE DETERMINANTS OF THE ALLIANCE STRATEGY EMPIRICAL STUDY ON LEARNING GUIDANCE IN DKI JAKARTA
Authors: Maikel Rudianto  , Unggul Purwohendi  , Budi Santoso  
Published: July 2021

The alliance strategy is one solution to the speed of competition in the business or business world. Strategic alliances are cooperative strategies in the form of partnerships that help unify each party's strengths to mutually benefit in the form of benefits and long-term competitiveness in the market. The alliance's strategy can be assessed as successful or not by measuring the strategic alliance's performance because the most commonly used alliance measure is performance. Whether or not an alliance strategy adopted by a company is healthy is to evaluate its alliance strategy's implementation.
This research was conducted using non-sampling or census methods as many as 132 (one hundred and thirty-two) branches in DKI Jakarta in one of the companies in the education sector originating from Japan and developing an alliance strategy in Indonesia. Data collection was carried out using a questionnaire and met with the owners or direct branch leaders.
From this study, it is concluded that Goodwill trust, Competence Trust, and Tangible & Intangible Resources Sharing positively influence the performance of the alliance strategy. Also, Tangible & Intangible Resources Sharing as an intervening variable can mediate the relationship between Goodwill trust and Competence Trust on the alliance's strategy's performance.
Does Interactive Ultrasound Intervention Relieve Minor Depressive Symptoms in Pregnancy? A Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Pulliainen Henrika Peppiina , Ahlqvist-Björkroth Sari , Ekholm Eeva 
Published: July 2021

Abstract
BackgroundPerinatal depression, especially minor depression, is common during pregnancy and is likely to continue into the postpartum period. It impairs the mother’s health, infant’s neurodevelopment, and the mother-infant relationship. Screening for perinatal depression is recommended; however, there is no uniform alignment of how to treat depressive symptoms while simultaneously supporting the mother-infant relationship. Ultrasound screenings might be potential as an intervention method because it has shown to improve maternal-fetal attachment among pregnant women. Our aim is to develop a 4 dimensional-based (4D) interactive ultrasound intervention and test whether it relieves minor depressive symptoms and improves maternal-fetal attachment. Previous studies show that supporting the mother-infant relationship aids in relieving maternal depression. Until now, few studies have combined pregnancy ultrasound and psychological support. MethodsA controlled randomized setting was designed to assess whether interactive 4D-ultrasound intervention would decrease maternal depressive symptoms, strengthen maternal-fetal attachment, and mother-infant relationship. A sonographer and a psychologist specialized in infant mental health conduct the interventions. The focus of the session is to jointly observe the behavior of the fetus according to the mothers’ wishes. Altogether, 100 women scoring 10-15 in Edinburgh Pre/-Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) and with singleton pregnancy will be recruited using a web-based questionnaire. Half of the participants will be randomized to the intervention group and will receive three interactive ultrasound examinations. The primary outcome is the change in the mean EPDS score. EPDS measurements will be done at three time points: before and after the intervention and four to five months after delivery. The secondary outcomes are maternal representations that will be assessed using the Working Model of the Child Interview (WMCI) and prenatal attachment that will be assessed using the Maternal Antenatal Attachment Scale (MAAS) questionnaire. The postnatal mother-infant interaction will be assessed with the Parent-Child Early Relational Assessment (PCERA) and Maternal Postnatal Attachment Scale (MPAS). DiscussionUltrasound is widely used during pregnancy. The interactive approach is unique and it would be feasible as part of routine screenings and maternity clinic visits. Intervention decreasing depression and simultaneously supporting maternal-fetal attachment could be a valuable addition in treating minor depression among pregnant women.

Abstract
This study is aimed at highlighting the risks associated with the reuse of faecal sludge and proposed a sustainable treatment method. The sampling consisted of collecting samples of faecal sludge in 5L of sterilized containers and then transporting to the laboratory in a refrigerated chamber for the determination of helminth eggs using standard protocols. The experimental device consisted of two replicates, one test and one control. The test samples received active charcoal at different concentrations (C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6). The physico-chemical parameters were measured before and after treatment. The samples were then observed under the optical microscope at the 40X objective for morphological identifications. Molecular analysis was carried out using the Polymerase Chain Reaction technique. The viability of the eggs were determined using incubation and staining techniques. Analyses showed that the sludge used for irrigation contained eggs and larvae of 6 helminth species (S. stercoralis, A. duodenale, N. americanus, T. trichiuria, H. nana and Ascaris spp.) with viability percentages ranging from 57.72% to 74.46%. Treatment with active charcoal allowed significant adsorption of these parasites with yields ranging from 95 to 100%. In addition, the carbon used has favoured the alkaline stabilisation of the medium, which increases its absorption potential. It can therefore be used in the treatment of sludge because, unlike other chemical disinfectants, it does not present any toxic effects.
Ginkgo Biloba Extracts Inhibit Ischemic LTP Through Attenuating EPSCs In Rat Hippocampus

Published: July 2021

Abstract
Ginkgo biloba extract 761 (Egb761), a standardized extract from the Ginkgo biloba leaf, is purported to inhibit NMDA receptor-mediated neuronal excitotoxicity and protect neurons form ischemic injury. However, the specific signal pathway involved in the effects of Egb761 on synaptic plasticity is still in dispute. In this article, effects of Egb761 and its monomer component Ginkgolide A (GA), Ginkgolide B (GB) and Ginkgolide C (GC) on rat hippocampal synaptic plasticity were studied. The evoked Excitatory postsynaptic currents (EPSCs) and miniature EPSCs were recorded on hippocampal slices from SD rats (14–21 days of age) by whole-cell patch-clamp recording and long-term potentiation (LTP) was induced by theta-burst stimulation. Acutely applied Egb761 inhibited the LTP, but bilaterally affect the EPSCs, that is EPSC increase at lower concentration of Egb761, then EPSC decrease at higher concentration of Egb761. Egb761 monomer component GA, GB and GC could also inhibit the TBS-induced LTP and EPSC amplitude but not paired-pulse ratio (PPR). Simultaneously, Egb761 and its monomer components inhibited the post-ischemic LTP (i-LTP) by inhibiting the EPSCs and the AMPA receptor subunit GluA1 expression on postsynaptic membrane. The results indicated that high concentration of Egb761 might inhibit LTP and i-LTP through inhibition effects of GA, GB and GC on AMPA receptors.
