Finding Community of Brain Networks Based on Neighbor Index and DPSO with Dynamic Crossover
Authors: Zhang Jie , Feng Junhong , Wu Fang-Xiang 
Published: October 2019

Background: :
The brain networks can provide us an effective way to analyze brain
function and brain disease detection. In brain networks, there exist some import neural unit modules,
which contain meaningful biological insights.

Objective::
Therefore, we need to find the optimal neural unit modules effectively and efficiently.

Method::
In this study, we propose a novel algorithm to find community modules of brain networks
by combining Neighbor Index and Discrete Particle Swarm Optimization (DPSO) with dynamic
crossover, abbreviated as NIDPSO. The differences between this study and the existing
ones lie in that NIDPSO is proposed first to find community modules of brain networks, and dose
not need to predefine and preestimate the number of communities in advance.

Results: :
We generate a neighbor index table to alleviate and eliminate ineffective searches and
design a novel coding by which we can determine the community without computing the distances
amongst vertices in brain networks. Furthermore, dynamic crossover and mutation operators are
designed to modify NIDPSO so as to alleviate the drawback of premature convergence in DPSO.

Conclusion:
The numerical results performing on several resting-state functional MRI brain networks
demonstrate that NIDPSO outperforms or is comparable with other competing methods in
terms of modularity, coverage and conductance metrics.
White Blood Cell Image Segmentation Based on Color Component Combination and Contour Fitting
Authors: Wang Chuansheng , Zhang Hong , Li Zuoyong , Zhou Xiaogen , Cheng Yong , Chen Rongyan 
Published: October 2019

Background:
White Blood Cell (WBC) image segmentation plays a key role in cell
morphology analysis. However, WBC segmentation is still a challenging task due to the diversity
of WBCs under different staining conditions.

Objective:
In this paper, we propose a novel WBC segmentation method based on color component
combination and contour fitting to segment WBC images accurately.

Methods:
Specifically, the proposed method first uses color component combination and image
thresholding to achieve nucleus segmentation, then uses a color prior to remove image background,
and extracts the initial WBC contour via Canny edge detection, and finally judges and
closes the unclosed WBC contour by contour fitting. Accordingly, cytoplasm segmentation is
achieved by subtracting the nucleus region from the WBC region.

Results:
Experimental results on 100 WBC images under rapid staining condition and 50 WBC
images under standard staining condition showed that the proposed method improved segmentation
accuracy of white blood cells under rapid and standard staining conditions.

Conclusion:
The proposed color component combination and contour fitting is effective in WBC
segmentation task.
Study of Time-dependent Interaction of ZnO Nanoparticles with Sucrose and Honey Molecules for Biomedical Applications
Authors: Samanta Pijus Kanti , Kamilya Tapanendu , Pahari Dhrubajyoti 
Published: October 2019

Background:
Nanoparticles are in the forefront of research due to their unique properties
that find possible applications from optoelectronics to medical technology. It is also reported that nanoparticles
can interact with the living cells and can selectively destroy the cells. Researchers are thus
interested to find a way by which the drugs will be attached to the nanoparticles, go to the target site
and destroy the infected cells. Before that, it is very much important to understand the interaction of
nanoparticles with the blood, plasma and other biological cells that exists in the blood. It is also very
essential to understand how the nanoparticles interact with the absorbed sucrose in the cell.

Objective:
Our objective in this research is to investigate the interaction of ZnO nanoparticles with sucrose
and honey sugar to understand the basic interaction mechanism. It will also enable us to find a
way of stabilizing body sucrose and glucose level.

Methods:
We have followed a simple chemical synthesis method to prepare ultrafine ZnO nanoparticles.
Then the interaction of ZnO nanoparticles with sucrose and honey sugar was investigated as a
function of time using UV-visible spectroscopy to understand the basic interaction mechanism.

Results:
Well grown ZnO nanoparticles were found to form of crystallite size ~38 nm. The band gap was
calculated from the absorption spectra and was found to be ~ 3.9 eV. This band gap enhancement indicates
that the sizes of the nanoparticles are very small. The decrease of absorption with time indicates that
the ZnO nanoparticles interact with the sugar molecule. Sucrose molecules are polar. Hence there is electrostatic
attraction between the sucrose molecules and ZnO molecules resulting in the sucrose-ZnO composite
system. On increasing the interaction time more and more sucrose molecules will cover the ZnO
nanoparticles by forming ZnO-sucrose corona. The interaction time constant i.e., the binding time of sucrose
molecule with the surface of ZnO nanoparticles, t1 was found to be 27.7127 min and is 29.59 min
for honey. The results indicate an association process to form corona of ZnO nanoparticles with sucrose
and honey molecules.

Conclusion:
We have successfully synthesized ultrafine ZnO nanoparticles of high band gap. The
synthesized nanoparticles interact with the sucrose and honey molecules and form corona. This study
is very important in understanding the interaction mechanism on nanoparticles with the biomolecules
for possible drug delivery applications.

Investor Preference for Director Characteristics: Portfolio Choice with Gender Bias
Authors: Friedman Henry L. 
Published: October 2019

ABSTRACT
This study examines whether investor-level preferences for director characteristics influence portfolio choices, using data on the U.S. holdings of non-U.S. funds. Consistent with bias-based preferences influencing portfolio allocations, funds from countries with greater gender inequality invest less and hold smaller stakes in firms with more female directors. Since variation in funds' home country gender biases are plausibly unrelated to the selection and performance of female directors in U.S. firms, the empirical strategy mitigates endogeneity concerns arising from estimates based on associations between market performance and gender demographics. The study contributes by linking investments to measured gender biases and by providing evidence, through additional analysis, of potential channels through which gender bias may affect portfolio choice.

DAMPAK OLAHRAGA WISATA BAGI MASYARAKAT
Authors: Sudiana I Ketut 
Published: October 2019

Olahraga wisata merupakan salah satu jenis kegiatan wisata yang perkembangannya cukup pesat di Indonesia karena memiliki pegunungan, lautan, sungai dan danau yang begitu luas. Oleh karena masing-masing daerah memiliki karakteristik geografis yang berbeda maka pengembangan olahraga wisata sangat memungkinkan untuk dijadikan sebuah alternatif olahraga rekreasi bagi pencinta olahraga seperti olahraga gunung (mendaki, berkemah, jelajah hutan, bersepeda, atau trekking, dan sebagainya), olahraga air (diving, canoing, snorkeling, surfing, dan sebagainya)Hubungan olahraga dan pariwisata tidak dapat dipisahkan karena keduanya dapat memberikan keuntungan satu sama lain. Bisa saja peristiwa olahraga diselenggarakan di daerah wisata dengan tujuan untuk memberikan hiburan tambahan bagi wisatawan, ataupun sebaliknya hanya dimanfaatkan khusus guna menarik wisatawan lokal maupun wisatawan asing (Danasaputra, 2009). Dengan demikian olahraga pun akhirnya dapat memicu bisnis baru seperti tempat hiburan rekreasi, restoran, perhotelan, pengembangan usaha kecil (aksesoris-aksesoris daerah setempat menjadi lebih berkembang), makanan dan minuman khas daerah setempat menjadi lebih dikenal, dan pada akhirnya dapat menciptakan lapangan kerja.Sebagai produk dari industri olahraga, olahraga pariwisata memerlukan pengelolaan lebih lanjut agar mampu menarik minat wisatawan asing maupun lokal sebagai konsumennya.Pengembangan olahraga pariwisata berpotensi besar sebagai daya tarik dan sarana promosi daerah setempat. Masyarakat yang datang untuk menyaksikan suatu event atau kejuaraan dapat sekaligus berwisata sementara masyarakat yang menonton kejuraan tersebut melalui tontonan televisi akan menjadi tertarik untuk mengunjungi daerah tersebut. Demikian pula akan berdampak positif bagi daerah dan masyarakat serta usaha kecil dan menengah di daerah penyelenggaraan.Penyelenggaraan olahraga pariwisata di suatu tempat secara langsung dapat pula memberikan keuntungan bagi masyarakat sekitar karena dapat membuka kesempatan berusaha seperti penyediaan makanan, minuman, usaha transportasi baik tradisional maupun konvensional.

Los principios lógicos y ontológicos del concepto currículo. Una relación epistemológica
Authors: Nava Bedolla José 
Published: October 2019

El objetivo central de la presente investigación consistió en analizar la relación epistemológica que se puede establecer entre los principios lógicos y ontológicos del concepto currículo. Se partió del supuesto de que dichos principios se encuentran relacionados epistemológicamente en las diferentes construcciones de este término, llevadas a cabo por los principales estudiosos del tema y, a causa de esto, las conceptualizaciones sobre el mismo difieren en significados, sentidos y consecuencias existenciales.
Un segundo supuesto, que deriva del anterior, consistió en estimar que los principios ontológicos se refieren al ser y los lógicos, a las razones en que se apoyan los raciocinios sobre el ser. A ello se debió que, en un primer y segundo momentos, se analizaron los principios lógicos y ontológicos de la ciencia —respectivamente— para, finalmente, intentar relacionarlos entre ellos y con las diferentes concepciones de currículo desde sus respectivas circunstancias de modo, tiempo y lugar.

Los hallazgos revelan la existencia de una relación o correspondencia entre los principios lógicos y ontológicos de la ciencia y entre las necesidades existenciales del ser humano, las facultades con las que este pretende resolver los problemas del conocimiento y los supuestos filosóficos en los que, necesariamente, se ubica el concepto aquí en cuestión.
Lo anterior permite concluir —entre otras cosas— que la construcción del término currículo es un problema político sin solución definitiva debido a que depende de circunstancias (emociones, pasiones y sentimientos del ser humano; sus necesidades y deseos) de modo, tiempo y lugar que influyen en la voluntad y las intenciones del sujeto cognoscente poniendo en acción sus facultades (su razón y/o sus sentidos) que le posibilitan para actuar y construirse un “currículo” acorde a sus necesidades existenciales, desde determinados supuestos relacionados con las mismas.
Towards a Neo-bipolar Model of the World Order: Scouting Game in Africa
Authors: Fituni L. L. 
Published: October 2019

The article lays out a hypothesis that the global order slides into a new bipolarity in the context of the escalating geo-economic and geopolitical confrontation between the two poles that currently dominate the world - the United States and China. The neo-bipolar construction cannot yet be regarded as an established new world order, but the general movement of the world economy and international relations in this direction is obvious. The neo-bipolar bipolar confrontation manifest itself with varying intensity in different regions of the world. The author argues that at present the peripheral regions which are strategically important for the prospects of competition are becoming an important testing ground for relatively “safe” elaboration of methods and tactics of geo-economic rivalry and h mutual exchange of systemic attacks. Today, Africa has become practically the leading theater of the new bipolar confrontation. The article analyzes the economic, military and strategic aspects of the rivalry between the United States and China on the African continent. It provides a comparative analysis of the new African strategies of the two superpowers adopted at the end of 2018. The author asserts that in the context of the emerging global bipolarity, the strategies of the USA and China represent antagonistic programs based on fundamentally different initial messages. In the case of the US strategy, this is to deter by denial the spread of the competitor’s influence using tough policies, including forceful (while not necessarily military) confrontational actions. While China seeks to neutralize the opposition of the United States and its allies to Beijing’s expansion on the continent and to win the freedom of interaction with any partners in Africa causing minimal direct confrontation possible. Therefore, despite the seemingly “peripheral” importance of the confrontation on the continent, for the establishment of a neo-bipolar world order, the proclamation of the new US regional geopolitical strategy, which focuses on the containment of China in the name of protecting democracy and independence, can serve not only for Africa, but for the whole planet the same milestone signal as Churchill’s Fulton speech for the final advent of bipolarity in the postwar world.

Pada negara-negara berkembang maupun negara-negara maju, hampir tidak ada perkantoran yang tidak menggunakan sistem plumbing. Bukan tanpa alasan, tetapi karena plumbing adalah bagian yang tidak terpisahkan dari suatu bangunan, baik yang kemudian difungsikan dalam rangka penyediaan air bersih, maupun yang difungsikan sebagai aliran pembuangan air limbah. Apabila jumlah air limbah yang dibuang berlebihan, melebihi dari kemampuan alam untuk menerimanya maka terjadi kerusakan lingkungan. Lingkungan rusak akan menyebabkan menurunnya tingkat kesehatan manusia yang tinggal dilingkungannya.
Air adalah bagian kebutuhan tertentu yang tidak bisa dipisahkan pada kehidupan manusia. Oleh karena itu, masalah penyediaan air bersih maupun pada persoalan saluran pembuangan air kotor secara menjadi perhatian khusus bagi pemerhati / praktisi bangunan.
