Simplifying the Structural Complexity of Software Systems
Authors: Al-Rousan Thamer , Abualese Hasan 
Published: September 2019

Abstract
Simplification of execution traces is peculiarly important in the case of software comprehension. The objective is to make execution traces in ways that are more tractable and less difficult. However, the simplification process is a difficult task, particularly, in object-oriented contexts. Due to coupling, execution traces of object-oriented systems involve the Spaghetti Architectures phenomenon, which is a very complicated structure of dependencies. Therefore, the simplification process needs a well-established approach to be helpful for software comprehension. Otherwise, the simplified execution traces will be informative as their structures will involve several gaps that lead to a misunderstanding process. This research uses decoupling to guide the simplification of object-oriented execution traces. Specifically, decoupling truthfully can decrease the complexity of execution traces without eliminating the trace components and making numerous gaps in the trace structure. Then, decoupling can solve the problem of the Spaghetti Architectures phenomenon. A controlled experiment was conducted to empirically validate the usefulness and effectivity of the suggested work. There was a significant statistical added value demonstrated in the time required and the accurate solutions of the tasks being solved. More precisely, 25% less time required with a 62% more correct solutions were achieved solving the experiment’s comprehension tasks.
Uncertainty Aware Resource Provisioning Framework for Cloud Using Expected 3-SARSA Learning Agent: NSS and FNSS Based Approach
Authors: Bhargavi K. , Sathish Babu B. 
Published: September 2019

Abstract
Efficiently provisioning the resources in a large computing domain like cloud is challenging due to uncertainty in resource demands and computation ability of the cloud resources. Inefficient provisioning of the resources leads to several issues in terms of the drop in Quality of Service (QoS), violation of Service Level Agreement (SLA), over-provisioning of resources, under-provisioning of resources and so on. The main objective of the paper is to formulate optimal resource provisioning policies by efficiently handling the uncertainties in the jobs and resources with the application of Neutrosophic Soft-Set (NSS) and Fuzzy Neutrosophic Soft-Set (FNSS). The performance of the proposed work compared to the existing fuzzy auto scaling work achieves the throughput of 80% with the learning rate of 75% on homogeneous and heterogeneous workloads by considering the RUBiS, RUBBoS, and Olio benchmark applications.

Authors: Werdiningsih Indah , Hendradi Rimuljo , Purbandini  , Nuqoba Barry , Ana Elly 
Published: September 2019

Abstract
This paper introduces a technique that can efficiently identify symptoms and risk factors for early childhood diseases by using feature reduction, which was developed based on Principal Component Analysis (PCA) method. Previous research using Apriori algorithm for association rule mining only managed to get the frequent item sets, so it could only find the frequent association rules. Other studies used ARIMA algorithm and succeeded in obtaining the rare item sets and the rare association rules. The approach proposed in this study was to obtain all the complete sets including the frequent item sets and rare item sets with feature reduction. A series of experiments with several parameter values were extrapolated to analyze and compare the computing performance and rules produced by Apriori algorithm, ARIMA, and the proposed approach. The experimental results show that the proposed approach could yield more complete rules and better computing performance.

Abstract
The issue of improving the efficiency of business operations is of particular importance in the conditions of modern business environment. For managers, the big challenge is how to achieve and to maintain, not to mention how to improve efficiency in a highly heterogeneous, complex, uncertain and unpredictable business environment. Significant sources of enterprise efficiency in a modern business environment are enterprise restructuring, business activities, as well an integrated approach to cost management, which is becoming an increasingly important determinant of business success and a source of competitive advantage. The paper provides an overview of theoretical and empirical research of the effects of certain sources on the performance of the enterprise. The conclusion is that only the complementary exploitation of all sources contributes to improving the efficiency of the enterprise in the long run.
The Link of Intra-Industry Trade with Foreign Direct Investments
Authors: Petrović Vesna , Mirović Ivan 
Published: September 2019

Abstract
International trade quite often includes intra-industry trade (IIT) – definition classifies IIT as trading with similar goods or services belonging to the same industry; which are simultaneously imported and exported by a particular country during the specific time period, mainly on a yearly basis. On the other hand, foreign direct investments (FDI) directly influence international trade, and intra-industry trade, as well. According to the recent research during last decades a revival of interest in intra-industry trade has been noted; both on micro and macro level. The standard Grubel-Lloyd formula is still being used for empirical work. This however refers only to international trade, disregarding capital flows, and FDI. Given the overwhelming importance of the latter, this paper tries to research for relevant data in this regard. The objectives of the paper are to present fundamental theoretical framework linked to IIT, and more specifically to research a direct link that IIT and FDI form in contemporary international economic relations. In addition to presented theory related to the subjects of research, further observation includes analysis of empirical research and case studies. This enables the authors to draw conclusions and, therefore, suggest potential implications for development policy.

Authors: Fakoori Elham , Karami Hassan , Nezhadali Azizollah 
Published: September 2019

Abstract
Binary and ternary nanocomposites based on TiO2, SiO2 and ZnO were synthesized by PVA-based template-free gel combustion method. The morphology and the particles sizes of the synthesized samples depended on some parameters including the initial concentrations of metal salts and PVA amount in the sol, solvent composition and solution pH. Effects of these parameters were investigated and optimized by using the Taguchi method. In the experimental design, the Taguchi L25 array was used to investigate six factors at five levels. The samples were characterized by dynamic light scattering (DLS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) specific surface areas, scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The obtained results showed that the present method can be used to synthesize TiO2/SiO2/ZnO ternary nanocomposite with an effective surface area of 0.3 m2 · g−1 and ZnO/TiO2, TiO2/SiO2, ZnO/SiO2 binary nanocomposites with an effective surface area of 234 m2 · g−1, 6 m2 · g−1 and 0.5 m2 · g−1, respectively. The ZnO/TiO2 nanocomposite which was synthesized under the following experimental conditions: 2.5 wt.% Zn salt, 2.5 wt.% Ti salt, 2.0 wt.% PVA, pH = 1 and ethanol:water ratio 30:70 was selected by the Taguchi method as an optimum sample with the smallest particles (average diameter = 50 nm).

Anatomical localization of the transverse-sigmoid sinus junction: Comparison of existing techniques
Authors: Hall Samuel , (Peter) Gan Yee-Chiung 
Published: September 2019

Background:
Anatomical localization remains integral to neurosurgery, particularly in the posterior fossa where neuronavigation is less reliable. There have been many attempts to define the location of the transverse- sigmoid sinus junction (TSSJ) using anatomical landmarks, to aid in the placement of the “strategic burr hole” during a retrosigmoid approach. There is a paucity of research allowing direct comparison of such techniques.

Methods:
Using high-resolution contrast-enhanced cranial computed tomography images, we constructed three-dimensional virtual cranial models. Fifty models (100 sides) were created from a retrospective sample of images performed in a New Zealand population. Ten methods of anatomical localization were applied to each model allowing qualitative and quantitative comparisons. The “key point” was defined as the point on the outer surface of the skull that directly overlaid the junction of the posterior fossa dura, transverse sinus (TS), and sigmoid sinus (SS). The proximity of each method to this “key point” was compared quantitatively, in addition to other descriptive observations. TSSJ localization methods analyzed included: (1) asterion; (2) emissary foramen; (3) Lang and Samii; (4) Day; (5) Rhoton; (6) Avci; (7) Ribas; (8) Tubbs; (9) Li; and (10) Teranishi.

Results:
Mean distance to the “key point” showed two tiers of accuracy, those <10 mm, and those >10 mm: Li (6.3 mm), Ribas (6.6 mm), Tubbs (6.8 mm), Teranishi (7.8 mm), Day (8.4 mm), emissary foramen (12.0 mm), Avci (13.0 mm), asterion (13.9 mm), Lang and Samii (15.6 mm), and Rhoton (17.4 mm). The asterion would most frequently overlie the TS (63%) and was often supratentorial (14%).

Conclusion:
Each method has a unique profile of dura or sinus exposure. There are significant differences in the accuracy of localization of the TSSJ among anatomical localization methods.

Published: September 2019

Abstrak : As-Suyuti adalah ulama besar yang hidup di abad ke-8 hijriah. Salah satu karyanya yang fenomenal dalam bidang tafsir adalah Hasyiah Tafsir Baidhawi. Di antara Faktor yang menyebabkan As-Suyuti mengkritik Al-Baidhawi adalah karena Al-Baidhawi banyak menukil pendapat Abu Hayyan dalam tafsirnya. Seperti yang kita ketahui Abu Hayyan dan Az-Zamakhsyari berasal dari dua madrasah yang berbeda. Komentar dan kritikan dalam suatu permasalahan bahasa dalam tafsir Al-Quran mengandung sisi positif dan negatif. Diantara sisi positifnya adalah bahwa para ulama tafsir saling melengkapi kekurangan satu sama lain dan ikut andil dalam memberikan penafsiran yang layak untuk Al-Quran. Al- Quran adalah firman Allah Swt yang mengandung mukjizat, diantara mukjizatnya adalah setiap kata–katanya mengandung makna yang banyak dan luas cakupannya walaupun secara zahirnya sama.
