Evaluation of Groundwater Quality for Domestic and Irrigation Suitability from Upper Bhima Basin, Western India: A Hydro-geochemical Perspective
Authors: Gaikwad Himanshu , Shaikh Huzefa , Umrikar Bhavana 
Published: June 2019

Major ion constituents present in groundwater are studied for shallow unconfined basaltic aquifer in order to understand the quality of groundwater resources and its impacts on inhabitants and irrigation. 30 groundwater samples collected from dug wells located in upper Bhima basin were analyzed to measure major cations and anions for establishing water quality index (WQI) and irrigation indices. The concentration of pH, electrical conductivity, total hardness, total dissolved solids and major cations and anions were analyzed. Groundwater types were detected using Piper’s trilinear diagram as Ca2+-HCO3−, Ca2+-Na+-HCO3−, mixed Ca2+-Mg2+-Cl− and Ca2+-Cl− groups. High concentration (8 to 194 mg/L) of nitrate was found at some locations in the region. WQI shows 66% of the samples to be unfit for drinking purposes due to high nitrate content mostly introduced because of the anthropogenic activities. Suitability of groundwater for irrigation purposes was determined using of Sodium Adsorption Ratio (SAR), Permeability Index (PI), Kelly Ratio (KR), Magnesium Hazard (MH), Sodium (%) and Residual Sodium Carbonate (RSC). Groundwater in the region is suitable for irrigation.
Uma restrição para interpretações pragmatistas de Ser e Tempo: uma avaliação da principal objeção de Gethmann à crítica de Tugendhat ao conceito de verdade de Heidegger
Authors: Taddei Paulo Mendes 
Published: June 2019

Este artigo objetiva discutir a principal objeção de Gethmannà crítica de Tugendhat ao conceito de verdade de Heidegger.Enquanto Tugendhat sustenta que Heidegger teria perdido os critériospara a distinção entre o verdadeiro e o falso, Gethmann alega quetais critérios de verdade podem ser localizados na dimensão pragmáticadas modalidades teóricas do Dasein. Para Gethmann, Heideggerhavia levado a cabo uma mudança no modelo de verdade, do modeloproposicional para o modelo operacional de verdade, mudança integralmentenegligenciada por Tugendhat, que perdeu de vista o fatode que a novidade em Heidegger é que a verdade mais origináriadeve ser entendida como uma categoria de êxito. Argumento, primeiramente,que o que Gethmann chama de modelo operacional de verdade não é compatível com a evidência textual em Ser e Tempo. Mostro, em um segundo momento, que o modelo de Gethmann nãofornece os critérios de verdade que para Tugendhat inexistiriam emHeidegger. Por fim, concluo indicando questões que concernem tantoo ponto subjacente de desacordo entre os dois comentadores deHeidegger, quanto uma avaliação geral da crítica de Tugendhat aoconceito de verdade de Heidegger.
COSMOLOGIA E POLÍTICA COMO CATEGORIAS ANALÍTICAS PARA UMA ETNOGRAFIA DA MOBILIDADE MBYÁ GUARANI
Authors: Martins Fábio 
Published: June 2019

Pretende-se neste trabalho dar visibilidade às motivações sócio cosmológicas que qualificam a dinâmica de deslocamento e ocupação espacial realizadas por um grupo Mbyá Guarani à Terra Indígena Tekoá Mirim, localizada no município de Praia Grande no litoral paulista. Além de problematizar também, e de maneira complementar, os processos etnohistóricos que corroboram para a autenticidade desta autodemarcação territorial. Pois, que os Guarani não só se encontram em permanente relação com a sociedade envolvente, como também, concretizam a sua agência sobre elas, o que os torna atentos aos processos de mudanças que os afetam diretamente. E neste sentido, pretende ainda, evidenciar a luta dos Mbyá pela autodemarcação territorial e pelo direito de permanecer em sua terra, já que múltiplas instâncias do Estado passaram a considerá-los “invasores”, pretendendo deste modo, inviabilizar política e institucionalmente, a manutenção indígena em sua própria territorialidade.
Neural network integration of classical statistical tests for processing small samples of biometrics data
Authors: Ivanov A. I. , Kuprianov E. N. , Tureev S. V. 
Published: June 2019

The Aim of this paper is to increase the power of statistical tests through their joint application to reduce the requirement for the size of the test sample. Methods. It is proposed to combine classical statistical tests, i.e. chi square, Cram r-von Mises and Shapiro-Wilk by means of using equivalent artificial neurons. Each neuron compares the input statistics with a precomputed threshold and has two output states. That allows obtaining three bits of binary output code of a network of three artificial neurons. Results. It is shown that each of such criteria on small samples of biometric data produces high values of errors of the first and second kind in the process of normality hypothesis testing. Neural network integration of three tests under consideration enables a significant reduction of the probabilities of errors of the first and second kind. The paper sets forth the results of neural network integration of pairs, as well as triples of statistical tests under consideration. Conclusions. Expected probabilities of errors of the first and second kind are predicted for neural network integrations of 10 and 30 classical statistical tests for small samples that contain 21 tests. An important element of the prediction process is the symmetrization of the problem, when the probabilities of errors of the first and second kind are made identical and averaged out. Coefficient modules of pair correlation of output states are averaged out as well by means of artificial neuron adders. Only in this case the connection between the number of integrated tests and the expected probabilities of errors of the first and second kind becomes linear in logarithmic coordinates.
Genetic-TLBO Algorithm for Power System Stabilizer
Authors: Roshandel Emad , Moattari Mojtaba 
Published: June 2019

Background:
A large number of nature-based optimization methods have been proposed
to use as efficient tools in scientific studies. Genetic Algorithm (GA), which operates based
on human genetical evolution, has been an outstanding mostly used solver in a wide range of applications.
This algorithm reflects the process of natural selection where the fittest individuals are
selected for reproduction in order to produce offspring of the next generation. Initialization, selection,
crossover, and mutation are the main parts of the GA population-based method which enables
GA to have a prominent explorative feature. On the other hand, the Teaching Learning
Based Optimization algorithm (TLBO) is of great performance during searching for the optimum
solution among individuals. Therefore, it is expected that the combination of both algorithms in a
certain logical way improves the optimization time.

Objective:
The study intends to determine ways of improving performance of the TLBO algorithm
to solve a complex non-linear problem. Power system studies are one of the most complex problems
for analysis. Therefore, a powerful heuristic optimization procedure would have a valuable
contribution in solving such problems. In addition, the proposed heuristic algorithm will help scientists
to apply the technique to their problems.

Materials and Methods:
According to the aforementioned explanation, a new efficient optimization
approach is proposed which optimizes the parameters of multi-machine power system stabilizers
(PSSs). The TLBO algorithm includes two different stages in its main structure, which are
aptly called teacher and student stages. The student stage of TLBO is replaced by the genetic algorithm
in order to improve the explorative feature of the main TLBO. The PSS parameters are obtained
for four PSSs which are connected to four generators.

Results:
The performance of the proposed stabilizer is compared with other formerly designed
stabilizers reported in the literature consisting of multi-band PSSs for two areas four-machine
power system. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed
PSS in damping local and inter-area oscillation modes under various disturbances and confirm its
superiority in comparison with the other types of PSSs.

Conclusion:
: A search heuristic method like the genetic algorithm can dramatically improve the
performance of meta-heuristic optimization technique. In actuality, the TLBO as a meta-heuristic
optimization technique suffers from a direct search of random solutions in its primary stage. Then,
the TLBO relinquishes some parts of search space which may restrict the algorithm to find absolute
maximums or minimums. In this condition, the GA with a great ability in searching the whole
search space effectively improves the TLBO. According to the obtained results, the proposed algorithm,
named Genetic-TLBO, obviates the conventional TLBO flaws successfully.

Published: June 2019

Background:Real-time video coding is a very interesting area of research with extensive applications into remote sensing and medical imaging. Many research works and multimedia standards for this purpose have been developed. Some processing ideas in the area are focused on second-step (additional) compression of videos coded by existing standards like MPEG 4.14.Materials and Methods:In this article, an evaluation of some techniques with different complexity orders for video compression problem is performed. All compared techniques are based on interpolation algorithms in spatial domain. In details, the acquired data is according to four different interpolators in terms of computational complexity including fixed weights quartered interpolation (FWQI) technique, Nearest Neighbor (NN), Bi-Linear (BL) and Cubic Cnvolution (CC) interpolators. They are used for the compression of some HD color videos in real-time applications, real frames of video synthetic aperture radar (video SAR or ViSAR) and a high resolution medical sample.Results:Comparative results are also described for three different metrics including two reference- based Quality Assessment (QA) measures and an edge preservation factor to achieve a general perception of various dimensions of the mentioned problem.Conclusion:Comparisons show that there is a decidable trade-off among video codecs in terms of more similarity to a reference, preserving high frequency edge information and having low computational complexity.

Published: June 2019

Background:
Cupressus sempervirens (C. sempervirens), commonly known as
Mediterranean cypress is native to the eastern Mediterranean region, North America and
subtropical Asia at higher altitudes. The crude, semi-purified and purified extracts of
C. sempervirens have long been recognized for its pharmacological activities as evidenced
by its extensive use by indigenous cultures in herbal medicines, tonics and infusion. Pharmacological
properties displayed the prodigious biological activities that could be further
explored for development of new herbal formulations or therapeutic agents.

Aims:
This review presents a critical analysis of the current state of knowledge about the
ethno medicinal uses, phytochemistry and pharmacological properties of C. sempervirens L
and its future applications.

Materials and Methods:
Literature related to C. sempervirens and its synonyms were
searched on the available online literature databases such as Google Scholar, PubMed,
SciFinder, Scopus, Springer, ScienceDirect, Wiley, ACS, Scielo and Web of Science, thesis,
dissertations, books, reports, local herbal encyclopedias and other relevant websites.

Results:
A review of literature showed that decoction of cones and young branches of C.
sempervirens gave astonishing effect in the treatment of hemorrhoids and to treat excessive
sweating in the feet. Enormous pharmacological properties have been found including antiseptic,
anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, antioxidant, antimicrobial, hepatoprotective,
wound-healing, anticoagulant, antihyperlipidemic, anticancer, neurobiological, antidiabetic,
and antiosteoporotic. Approximately 109 phytochemical constituents have been searched out
as isolates from various parts of this plant comprising mostly diterpenoids and biflavonoids.

Conclusion:
Numerous in vivo and in vitro studies have provided support for the traditional
uses of C. sempervirens but further research work is required towards isolating more active
constituents and for validating its clinical utilization in the herbal formulations for humans
as well as investigating any potential toxicity for future clinical studies.

AbstractLuminescence spectra of single crystals of rare-earth gallium borates LnGa_3(BO_3)_4 (Ln = Nd, Sm, Tb, Er, Dy, or Ho) at room (300 K) and cryogenic (10 K) temperatures are presented for the first time. Photoluminescence has been recorded in the wavelength range of 470–5000 nm (2000–21 300 cm^–1) with a high spectral resolution (down to 0.1 cm^–1) upon excitation by different diode lasers. The spectra obtained cannot be unambiguously interpreted within one luminescent center, which can be due to the presence of defects and/or inclusions of other crystalline phases. The optical nonlinearity of rare-earth–gallium borates has been estimated using the Kurtz–Perry powder technique. The typical intensities of the second-harmonic generation in gallium borate powders are 30–40 (with respect to quartz), and the optical nonlinearity is as good as the nonlinearity of the efficient rare-earth aluminum borate YAl_3(BO_3)_4.

Published: June 2019

Background: The World Health Organization’s recommendation for infant feeding is exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months followed by semi-solid food. The purpose of the study is to analyse determinant factors related to low exclusive breastfeeding’s practice in the urban slum community of Surabaya. Methods: This is a qualitative study with a case study in one of the urban slum areas of Surabaya. Data were collected by in-depth interviews and focus group discussion (FGD) with mothers, interviews with key-informants; posyandu cadre and the community leader for validation. Ishikawa diagram tool was used to identify and categorize determinant factors. The Urgency, Seriousness, Growth (USG) method was used to prioritize factors.Results: There are 9 determinant factors categorized into 5 categories; two ‘main’ factors, three ‘method’ factors, two ‘material’ factors, one ‘money’ factor and one ‘environment’ factor. The one factor that was considered the priority to be resolved is from the environment factor that is local beliefs of breastfeeding and expressed breast milk.Discussions and Conclusions: Education of mothers about expressed breast milk is an initial step to overcome low exclusive breastfeeding’s practice in this community due to mothers having to work outside the house. There is also a need for strengthening support groups so working mothers continuously exclusive breastfeed and provide optimal nutrition for infants.

Authors: Zaprulkhan Zaprulkhan , Kayacik Ahmet 
Published: June 2019

This article discusses Nursi’s ideas on significance of the Practices of the Prophet for modern people. In the present day, many modern people deal with some problems such as existential restlessness (existential vacuum), moral degradation, spiritual crisis and so on. On the other hand, according Said Nursi, Practices of the Prophet are all highly beneficial remedies for sicknesses of the spirit, mind, and heart, and particularly for social sicknesses. Accordingly, Practices of the Prophet could give the best solution for modern people problems, both individual sicknesses and social sicknesses. Before proposing Said Nursi’s perspective about significance of sunna, the paper forwards epistemological questions: How were the meaning and function of sunna according Said Nursi? How are the urgent problems of modern people? What is the significance of Practices of the Prophet for modern people in the view of Said Nursi? The answer of these questions will determine the significance of the Practices of the Prophet in our era and in the future. Accordingly, this paper would be a valuable work for islamic studies since it can make a significanct contribution to Practices of the Prophet as a solution for our problems in the present day and in the future.

Kebijakan revolusi hijau merupakan akar dimana negara mempunyai legitimasi untuk mengendalikan pangan apa yang harus dikonsumsi oleh warganya. Kebutuhan atas pangan merupakan Hak Asasi Manusia (HAM) dan kebutuhan manusia paling mendasar. Hak atas pangan harus bebas dari diskriminasi gender.Tulisan ini hendak menawarkan ide yang berkaitan dengan kehidupan perempuan sebagai agen kedaulatan pangan. Wacana ini penting, karena perempuan sebagai salah seorang yang senantiasa dilekatkan dengan sektor domestik. Namun, apa yang kemudian terjadi apabila kebutuhan pangannya tidak terpenuhi? serta bagaimana upaya perempuan untuk mewujudkan kedaulatan pangan?
Metode yang digunakan adalah kualitatif dengan pendekatan relasi sosial (Social Relations Approach). Pendekatan relasi sosial sebagai alat analisis ketidaksetaraan (inequality) gender dalam distribusi sumber daya, merancang program dan kebijakan yang memungkinkan perempuan menjadi agen. Pendekatan relasi sosial didasarkan pada tujuan dari pembangunan yaitu kesejahteraan manusia (human well-being). Pendekatan ini akan melihat bagaimana hubungannya dengan lembaga lainnya yang saling memotong ketidaksetaraan tersebut.
Penelitian ini dilakukan di Pesantren Ekologi Ath-Thaariq Garut. Di pesantren ini, perempuan memiliki kekuatan untuk mewujudkan kedaulatan pangan dari skala yang paling kecil, skala rumah tangga. Salah satunya adalah dengan menerapkan revolusi meja makan dan pertanian kebun pekarangan berbasis ekologi. Perempuan mempunyai peluang untuk menjadi agen kedaulatan pangan.
THE PROPERTY THAT IS FACTUALLY BEING EVALUATED WHEN THEY SAY THEY EVALUATE IMPACT
Authors: Lazarev V. S. 
Published: June 2019

Introduction. Analysis of the definitions and perceptions of the notion of “impact”, introduced into circulation by Yu. Garfield in 1955, does not allow to assert that in the scientometrics literature there is a strict definition of this notion at all. Since it is assumed that citedness figures are its reliable indicator, it is necessary to discover what property is actually reflected by this indicator.Materials and methods. Analytical interpretation of the scientific literature related to this problem since 1955.Results. Comparison of the notion of “impact” with the possibilities of its quantitative evaluation by citedness figures demonstrated the unreliability of this basic scientometric method for the assessment of exactly “impact” as in terms of cause-and-effect relationships, “impact” may or may not be the reason for the use of scientific documents reflected in their citedness figures. In other words, citedness is not a very reliable proxy (substitute indicator) to be used for assessing poorly defined (as it was shown in my previous article published in Scholarly Research and Information; 2019;2(1):63–73) notion of “impact”. At the same time, citedness figures reflect the value of cited scientific documents (by reflecting their use while the creation of citing documents).Discussion and Conclusions. If “impact” should not be considered as a key notion of scientometrics, then its place can naturally be taken by the notion of the value of cited documents, their totalities, creators, etc.
