OIL DISCHARGE BY SHIPS AS A FORM OF SECURITY THREAT IN MALAYSIAN PORTS
Authors: Syed Abdul Kader Sharifah Zubaidah , O. Abdulrazaq Abdulkadir 
Published: October 2018

The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) 1982 and some other conventions contain provisions concerning protection of marine environment that enjoy the support of many other regional, national and global institutions. Vessel- sourced pollution is one of the major sources of marine pollution that encompasses accidental as well as, intentional discharge of oil and chemicals, dumping, etc. The Malaysian legal framework requires the consent of the relevant authority for a discharge that is above the quantity allowed. However, despite the fact that there have been numerous regulations on the pollution of the marine waters it appears that pollution by vessels is still on the increase. The legal framework stipulating conditions for discharge of oil at seas is well established in many jurisdictions like Malaysia, however, some of the legal regulations appear to be inadequate, thereby threatening the marine environment and causing irreparable damage. This paper recommends prior consent of the appropriate authority and a stiffer penalty for every discharge of oil by vessels in order to avert hazardous damage. Keywords: ,
Ethical and Legal Issues in Medical Tourism
Authors: Wahed Hanis 
Published: October 2018

In these days, millions of people, especially from developed countries, are travelling to other countries for medical treatment. This development is called ‘medical tourism’. Medical tourism is one of the lucrative industries that has expanded rapidly worldwide, including Malaysia. The development is due to factors such as seeking quality medical treatment at lower costs. However, there are certain ethical and legal issues arising from the development of the industry. These issues should be addressed because it may affect the development of medical tourism in the future. Lack of legal recourse and lack of regulation are some examples of legal issues that are discussed in this paper. The ethical issues include the quality of care for treatment provided by medical providers, lack of follow-up care for patients at their home countries, access to care for the local people at destination countries and the issue that arises from the treatment that is illegal in patients’ home countries. The objective of this article is to examine these ethical and legal issues in order to assist the growth of the industry and the country’s economy in the future. This research is based on analysis of primary and secondary sources such as legislation, textbooks, and journal articles that relates to the medical tourism and issues arising from its development. The article concludes that these ethical and legal issues can be resolved by having a uniform medical tourism regulation.
Parental Child Abduction In Malaysia: Is Everything Right with Our Domestic Laws?
Authors: Md Salleh Anis Shuhaiza 
Published: October 2018

Parental child abduction is an unacceptable and condemned act due to its bad implication caused especially on the child. Nevertheless, it was hard to charge parents for absconding or stealing their own child for a long accepted tradition and settled rule that both parents have equal rights over the child. Both would have justifications for their act to be considered as good and bad for the child even to the extent of abducting him or her from the other parent. However, as time passed, the laws particularly, family and criminal law, have also developed to face rapid changes in the family institution. The need to reform the laws for want of jurisdiction or lack of uniformity or adequacy of laws on a certain matter were among the result of the changes in family pattern. Experience from cases showed that it was very hard for any parent to get back his or her child once the subject has been brought outside the country. Thus, this article is aiming at scrutinising the domestic laws of Malaysia, particularly the family and criminal laws on parental child abduction as well as its enforcement aspect by referring to the relevant provisions and the decided cases. Suggestions are provided to strengthen the law and its enforcement aspect, being a tool to prevent parental child abduction.

Paradigmatic relationships in German action noun formation
Authors: Dammel Antje , Kempf Luise 
Published: October 2018

This study explores four German nominalization patterns (-ung; -erei; Ge- -X-e; nominalized infinitives) using corpus and web data. We conclude that they can be considered a word formation paradigm, as some functions depend on paradigmatic oppositions. Our case study supports gradual differences between inflectional and word formation paradigmaticity.

Effect of Ozone Pretreatment on the Microleakage of Class V Cavities Following Office Bleaching with Diode Laser
Authors: SURMELİOGLU Derya , ŞİRİN KARAARSLAN Emine , ERBİL Eda , DEMİR Osman 
Published: October 2018

Objective: This
study investigated the effect of ozone treatment on the microleakage of class V
composite restorations after using two different bleaching agents with laser
activation.

Materials and Methods: Forty non-carious maxillary central
incisor teeth extracted for periodontal disease were used and randomly divided
into two main groups. Group 1: Bleaching agent including 40% H2O2
was activated with laser (Diode 980 nm, Gigaa Dental Laser Cheese, China).
Group 2: Bleaching agent including 35% H2O2 was activated
with the same laser. Then, the teeth were randomly divided into two subgroups
(n=10). Ten specimens in each subgroup were subjected to ozone treatment (Ozonytron
XP-OZ, MIO International, Germany) for 30 seconds, while the remaining left
untreated/remainings were control group. After class V cavity preparation on the
buccal surfaces, all cavities were filled with composite resin (Filtek Z550, 3M
ESPE, USA). Following thermal cycling (5–55°C, 5000×), the specimens were
subjected to dye penetration within 0.5% basic fuchsine for 24h. Then, the
teeth were sectioned longitudinally to evaluate staining and the depth of
staining along with the tooth-restoration interface was recorded with a
stereomicroscope.

Results: There
were no significant differences between the two bleaching agents in
microleakage of restorations (p &gt; 0.05). The ozone treatment didn’t decrease the microleakage values (p &gt; 0.05). There were significant differences among
the scores of microleakage at the enamel and gingival margins (p &lt; 0.05).

Conclusion: Ozone
treatment did not affect microleakage values of class V composite
restorations after dental bleaching.

Published: October 2018

AbstractMajor prefabricated housing manufacturers started their business in the 1960s and became world‐class large housing companies. This study clarifies the early stages of development in 9 major prefabricated housing manufacturers based on interviews with their in‐house engineers and architectural designers as well as through the analysis of related documents. Early prefabricated houses were developed intensively by a small number of engineers. Various architectural styles and specialists, including foreign architecture, famous architects and academics, affected some aspects of these developments. Furthermore, each of the early prefabricated houses had many unique building system characteristics. Some of these characteristics were modified in the early stages of development, while others still remain today.

Published: October 2018

ObjectiveTo investigate the impact of exercise therapy on molecular biomarkers related to cartilage and inflammation in individuals at risk of, or with established, knee osteoarthritis by conducting a systematic review of randomized controlled trials (RCTs).MethodsWe conducted a literature search up to September 2017 in 5 major databases with no restriction on publication year or language. Data were extracted from the first available follow‐up time point, and we performed a narrative synthesis for the effect of exercise therapy on molecular biomarkers related to cartilage and inflammation. A subset of studies reporting sufficient data was combined in a meta‐analysis, using an adjusted random‐effects model.ResultsTwelve RCTs involving 57 study comparisons at 4 to 24 weeks following an exercise‐therapy intervention were included. Exercise therapy decreased molecular biomarkers in 17 study comparisons (30%), had no effect in 36 (63%), and increased molecular biomarkers in 4 study comparisons (7%). Meta‐analyses of 9 biomarkers showed that exercise therapy was associated with nonsignificant reductions of the C‐reactive protein level, C‐terminal crosslinking telopeptide of type II collagen, tumor necrosis factor (TNF), soluble TNF receptors 1 and 2, C2C neoepitope of type II collagen, and cartilage oligomeric matrix protein, compared to nonexercising control groups, and exercise therapy had no effect on interleukin‐6 and soluble interleukin‐6 receptor.ConclusionExercise therapy is not harmful, because it does not increase the concentration of molecular biomarkers related to cartilage turnover and inflammation, implicated in osteoarthritis progression. The overall quality of evidence was downgraded to low because of the limited number of RCTs available.

Published: October 2018

ObjectiveTo identify and evaluate the measurement properties of self‐report physical activity instruments suitable for patients with osteoarthritis (OA).MethodsWe conducted a comprehensive 2‐stage systematic review using multiple electronic databases, from inception until July 2018. In the stage 1 review, we sought to identify all self‐report physical activity instruments used in individuals with joint pain attributable to OA in the foot, knee, hip, or hand. In the stage 2 review, we searched for and appraised studies investigating the measurement properties of the instruments identified. In both stages of the review, we screened all articles for study eligibility criteria, completed data extraction using the Qualitative Attributes and Measurement Properties of Physical Activity questionnaire checklist, and conducted methodology quality assessments using a modified COSMIN (COnsensus‐based Standards for the selection of health Measurement INstruments) checklist. Measurement properties for each physical activity instrument were evaluated and combined, using narrative synthesis.ResultsIn the stage 1 review, we identified 23 unique self‐report physical activity instruments. In the stage 2 review, we identified 54 studies that evaluated the measurement properties of 13 of the 23 instruments identified. Instrument reliability varied from inadequate to adequate (intraclass correlation coefficient ≥0.7). Instrument construct and criterion validity assessment showed small to moderate correlations with direct measures of physical activity. Instrument responsiveness was assessed in only 1 instrument and was unable to detect changes in comparison to accelerometers.ConclusionAlthough many instruments were identified as being potentially suitable for use in patients with OA, none demonstrated adequate measurement properties across all domains of reliability, validity, and responsiveness. Further high‐quality assessment of self‐report physical activity instruments is required before such measures can be recommended for use in OA research.
Some improvements on “Homogenous polynomial H∞ filtering for uncertain discrete‐time systems: A descriptor approach”
Authors: Jiang Xiangli , Xia Guihua , Feng Zhiguang 
Published: October 2018

SummaryIn this paper, the H∞ filtering problem for linear systems with polytopic uncertainties is reinvestigated. The continuous‐time case and the discrete‐time case are both considered. In contrast to the existing approaches presented in most literature, this paper transfers the concerned regular system model into a descriptor representation such that the descriptor formulations in the case of H∞ filtering design can be employed. The purpose of this paper is to design a filter such that the filtering error system is asymptotically stable with a prescribed H∞ performance level. By introducing a new structure conducted by a series of slack matrix variables, meanwhile, sufficient conditions for H∞ filter design are obtained in a less conservative linear matrix inequality manner. Numerical examples are presented to illustrate effectiveness of the proposed approach.

AbstractAggregation‐induced emission (AIE) luminogens (AIEgens) with red/near‐infrared (NIR) emissions are appealing for applications in optoelectronics and biomedical engineering owing to their intrinsic advantages of efficient solid‐state emission, low background, and deep tissue penetration. In this context, an AIEgen with long‐wavelength emission is synthesized by introducing tetraphenylethene (TPE) to the periphery of electron‐deficient spiro‐benzo[d]imidazole‐2,1′‐cyclohexane (BI). The resulting AIEgen, abbreviated as 2TPE‐BI, adopts a donor–acceptor structure and shows bathochromic absorption and emission with a larger Stokes shift of 157 nm in acetonitrile than that based on benzo[c][1,2,5]thiadiazole. It also exhibits a high solid‐state fluorescence quantum yield of 56.6%. By further insertion of thiophene to its molecular structure generates 2TPE‐2T‐BI with higher conjugation and NIR emission. 2TPE‐2T‐BI can be fabricated into AIE dots for in vivo metabolic labeling through bio‐orthogonal click chemistry. These results open a new approach for facile construction of long‐wavelength emissive AIEgens based on the BI core.
Reconfigurable Spike Routing Architectures for On‐Chip Local Learning in Neuromorphic Systems

Published: October 2018

AbstractLookup table (LUT)‐based spike routing schemes are often used in inference‐only neuromorphic systems for their excellent reconfigurability. Yet, the routing in such schemes leaves difficulty in on‐chip learning following a local learning rule, which requires a number of synaptic updates upon each spike. In this work, this issue is addressed by investigating four LUT‐based routing schemes that use different LUT read‐out techniques for on‐chip learning. They are random access memory (RAM), content addressable memory, partitioned RAM, and pointer (PTR)‐based routing schemes. A theoretical means of evaluating the maximum network size for each scheme without routing congestion—experimentally justified using field‐programmable gate array implementations—is first provided. The results indicate that the PTR‐based scheme supports a neuromorphic core consisting of 20 000 neurons (simultaneously firing at 50 Hz) and 2 million synapses at 200 MHz clock speed with minimum circuit overhead. The PTR‐based scheme is further applied to multiple cores in a large‐scale neuromorphic cluster, revealing that the cluster can theoretically hold 1.81 million neurons (simultaneously firing at 50 Hz) and 362 million synapses at 100 MHz global clock speed (separate clock for global event routing) when all cores operate at 200 MHz local clock speed (clock for local event routing).
