Published: February 2018

<p>Information Technology is an important and interdisciplinary field of fields. Information Technology is applicable in almost all the areas of Sciences, Arts, and Commerce as well. Even sector wise whether healthcare, government, education, transportation or agriculture—everywhere Information Technology and Computing is required. Hence whether it is a Field or Subject or Sector, Information Technology is very much important and useful. Economics is an important subject for the development; it is more than development today. More importantly, it is valuable to note that Information Technology is not only useful in Economics but also in other contexts viz. Economics also played a great role in the field of Information Technology and Computing. There are many spaces where Economics and Allied Sciences such as Management and Commerce playing an important role. Due to the relationship between Economics and Information Technology, even educational programs worldwide have been developed. The programs are available as Bachelors degree, Masters degree, Doctoral degree etc. In India also in recent past, several improvements were noticed and as a result, educational programs combined with IT and Economics also noted. This paper is conceptual in nature and deals with the analysis and discussion on the application of Economics and allied subjects in the field of Information Technology and Computing. Moreover, the paper also discusses the educational programs available in India combined with IT and Economics.</p>
A global solution for a reaction-diffusion equation on bounded domains
Authors: Khellat Farhad , Khormizi Mahmud Beyk 
Published: February 2018

Abstract
In the literature, it has been proved the existence of a pullback global attractor for reaction-diffusion equation on a bounded domain and under some conditions, a uniform bound on the dimension of its sections. Using those results and putting a bound on the diameter of the domain, we proved that the pullback global attractor consists only of one global solution. As an application to this result, a bounded perturbation of Chafee-Infante equation has been studied.
Probabilistic Data-Driven Prediction of Wellbore Signatures in High-Dimensional Data Using Bayesian Networks
Authors: Bassamzadeh Nastaran , Ghanem Roger 
Published: February 2018

SummaryAccurate, data-driven, stochastic models for fluid-flow prediction in hydrocarbon reservoirs are of particular interest to reservoir engineers. Being computationally less costly than conventional physical simulations, such predictive models can serve as rapid-risk-assessment tools. In this research, we seek to probabilistically predict the oil-production rate at locations where limited data are observed using the available data at other spatial points in the oil field. To do so, we use the Bayesian network (BN), which is a modeling framework for capturing dependencies between uncertain variables in a high-dimensional system. The model is applied to a real data set from the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) and it is shown that BN is able to predict the production rate with 86% accuracy. The results are compared with neural-network and co-Kriging methods. Moreover, BN structure enables us to select the most-relevant variables for prediction, and thus we managed to reduce the input dimension from 36 to 17 variables while preserving the same prediction accuracy. Similarly, we use the local-linear-embedding (LLE) method as a feature-extraction tool to nonlinearly reduce the input dimension from 36 to 10 variables with negligible loss in accuracy. Accordingly, we claim that BN is a valuable modeling tool that can be efficiently used for probabilistic prediction and dimension reduction in the oil industry.

The Effects of Task-Based Process Writing Approach on the Academic Writing Skills among Second Language Tertiary Learners
Authors: Johari Siti Katijah 
Published: February 2018

Academic writing occupies a very important place in the English language syllabus at tertiary level. Where higher institution writing is concerned, it is not enough that students have to write in traditional essay or report formats; their writing must be appropriate to the discipline – yet deal with the multitude of genres expected of them. Additionally, academic writing skill is considered an essential skill for academic success and a requirement for many occupations and professions. However, it is a skill that a number of second language tertiary students find most difficult to acquire and only a few of them fully master it. This study, therefore, embarks on the theory that task-based approach together with the exposure of process writing would have a significant influence on the development of students’ academic writing skills. In this study students were made to work in groups on real-life tasks which relate to their field of study or future employment. In the midst of pursuing the group project, the students will have to write their group proposal and individual writing assignment. This will be the stage where the process writing techniques are put into practice. This paper will illustrate an eclectic pedagogic intervention in the teaching of academic writing skills to second language tertiary students.

Authors: Yudiati Erna Agustina , Rahayu Esthi 
Published: February 2018

Permasalahan AIDS (Acquired Immuno Deficiency Virus) berkembang
dengan cepat dan menjadi sebuah ancaman kesehatan dunia yang utama.
Salah satu layanan terhadap pemberian informasi seputar HIV/AIDS adalah
melalui VCT (Voluntary Counseling Testing). Adanya diskriminasi
terhadap HIV/AIDS ini membuat keikutsertaan seseorang mengikuti VCT
(Voluntary Counseling Testing) atau tes konseling sukarela bagi seseorang
yang ingin mengetahui status HIV nya mungkin rendah akibat takut
mendapat diskriminasi. Bagi seseorang yang akan menjalankan tes, muncul
berbagai reaksi emosi seperti cemas dan takut, terutama ketika mengetahui
hasil yang diperoleh positif.. Kemampuan seorang individu untuk dapat
menyesuaikan diri dengan stressor yang dialaminya itulah yang disebut
dengan coping stress. Hipotesis penelitian adalah ada hubungan yang
negatif antara coping stres dengan kecemasan. Artinya semakin baik coping
stres maka semakin rendah kecemasan dan sebaliknya. Teknik analisa data
yang dipakai dalam penelitian ini adalah analisa kuantitatif non parametrik:
Spearman’s rho. Hasilnya adalah ada hubungan yang negatif antara coping
stres dengan kecemasan.
Prevalence and Occupational Factors Associated with Low Back Pain Among the Female Garment Workers: A Cross-Sectional Study in Bangladesh
Authors: Hossain Ahmed 
Published: February 2018

Background: Low Back Pain (LBP) is one of the common health problems among the garment workers that cause workers absenteeism from the work. The purpose of the study is to identify the association between occupational factors and LBP among the female garment workers in Bangladesh.
Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 487 female garment workers from three compliant garment factories of Bangladesh. Face-to-face interview on four different LBP measures along with questions on socio-demographic, occupational, and physical factors were used to collect the data.
Result: The prevalence rates for LBP lasts for at least one day during the last six months, chronic pain, intense pain, and seeking medical care for LBP were found 63.04%, 38.60%, 13.76%, and 18.89%, respectively among the female garments workers. The multivariate logistic regression analysis indicates that duration of employment (>5 years), regular weight bearing and extended weekly working hours (>48 hours) are positively associated with LBP. Besides, age, BMI, family income, marital status and number of children are also found positively associated with the LBP measures.
Conclusion: The prevalence of LBP among female garment workers in Bangladesh is found high. The duration of employment (>5 years), regular weight bearing and extended weekly working hours (>48 hours) play a significant role in developing LBP among the female workers. Factories need to consider training programs on the appropriate technique of weight bearing. It is also important to conduct regular screening programs to identify LBP, especially with married, overweight/obese and older age group to reduce the occurrence of LBP.

Aerobic stability (silage life), and from the
pop-up remains intact as a silage warming is defined as the length of time.
Although oxygen input into silage is insignificant at fermentation stage or
during fermentation this entrence is excessives during feeding. This case
causes activation of yeast, mould, and aerobic microorganisms which leads to
deterioration of silage. Consequently silage temperature and pH increases with
lost of dry matter. As a result of these, increase in temperature, rise in pH,
and loss of dry matter in silage occurs. Factors affecting the aerobic
stability of silage can be grouped under four headings: (1) Physical, chemical
and microbiological properties of silage material, (2) filling of silage
material and silage density, (3) silage additives and fermentation, (4) feeding
management. In this review factors affecting the aerobic stability of silage,
and strategies for improving it were discussed.

Authors: Sri Hariyati Fitriasih Tomi Winanto, Yustina Retno Wahyu Utami, 
Published: February 2018

Chili plants have a lot of pest and disease attacks. Pest and disease attacks potentially reduce the production of chilli and even cause crop failure. In addition, the limited number of extension workers and the lack of knowledge of practitioners / chili farmers inhibits efforts to control pests and diseases of chili plants. Therefore, the authors propose an expert system to diagnose pests and diseases in large chili plants using the Certainty Factor method. The Certainty Factor method is used to perform calculations by providing an expert's level of confidence. Expert systems relate symptoms and diseases as well as pest and disease control solutions of large chili plants. The data were obtained based on interviews with experts at the Organization for Industrial, Spiritual and Cultural Advancement (OISCA) Training Center Karanganyar. The data obtained was analyzed and expert system design application was made using UML diagram. The design is continued with the implementation of expert system application into PHP programming and MySQL database. The test results show that the system can diagnose pests and diseases of large chili plants like an expert.
