Path Planning of Mobile Robots Based on An Improved Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm
Authors: Yuan Qingni , Sun Ruitong , Du Xiaoying 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Aiming at disadvantages of particle swarm optimization in the path planning of mobile robots, such as low convergence accuracy and easy maturity, this paper proposes an improved particle swarm optimization algorithm based on differential evolution. First, the concept of corporate governance is introduced, adding adaptive adjustment weights and acceleration coefficients to improve the traditional particle swarm optimization and increase the algorithm convergence speed. Then, in order to improve the performance of differential evolution algorithm, the size of the mutation is controlled by adding adaptive parameters. Moreover, a "high-intensity training" mode is developed to use the improved differential evolution algorithm to intensively train the global optimal position of the particle swarm optimization, which can improve the search precision of the algorithm. Finally, the mathematical model for robot path planning is devised as a two-objective optimization with two indices, i.e., the path length and the degree of danger to optimize the path planning. The proposed algorithm is applied to different experiments for path planning simulation tests. The results demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of it in solving mobile robot path planning problem.

Abstract

In this research,three levels of fungi; non-inoculated, spore, and myceliuminoculated plants, and three levels of nanoSiO2;0,50 and 100 mM, were studied under non-water stress andwater stress conditions. Analysis of variance and mean comparisons indicated that application of both nanoSiO2 and P. indica had positive effects in inducing drought tolerance in tomato regarding morphological (root and shoot properties), biochemical (protein, anthocyanin, phenol), physiological (proline, chlorophyll a and b), tolerance indices (relative water content and electrolyte leakage), antioxidant enzymes (CAT, GPX and APX) traits.Comparison of two trials under water stress, showed that the mycelium form of P. indica was better than the spore form and it was better than100 mMnano SiO2 in CAT enhancing while only the spore form of fungiwas better than100 mMnano SiO2in chlorophyll-b.Under water stress, application of the 100 mMnano SiO2 could produce more root volume and dry weight than any fungi treatments. Our results indicated the positive impacts of P. indica and SiO2 nanoparticles on drought tolerance in tomato but the P. indica was more efficient than SiO2 nanoparticles in most traits, which could be related to better symbiosis of fungi with roots.
Measure the difference in efficiency in waste disposal and collection services from the EU targets in the Campania municipalities.
Authors: Ferraro Aniello , Garofalo Antonio , Marchesano katia 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
The study analyses the economic and environmental performance of the 353 municipalities in the region of Campania in the waste disposal and collection services. This study consists of three steps, firstly municipal performance in the management of waste services from a linear economy point view is assessed. Secondly, a circular economy paradigm is considered and jointly the economic (minimization of management costs) and environmental (waste minimization) performance of municipalities management is measured; two different DEA models are employed using information provided by the Institute for Environmental Protection and Research for the year 2016. Third, in order to rank the most virtuous municipalities in the environmental dimension (toward a circular economy paradigm), the study defines a measure of the efficiency deviation from environmental sustainability. The results show a cluster of municipalities in the metropolitan area of Naples and Caserta with a worse performance in the environmental dimension but with a good performance in the economic dimension. The succession of national and regional regulations has accentuated the uncertainty in the executive process and in the management of the waste cycle, creating a regulatory vacuum. Local governments should act on citizen motivations, promoting awareness on environmental issues, and should implement time-saving collection methods.

Optimal forest management of pure and mixed forest plantations in the southeastern United States
Authors: Moeller Jonas C. , Susaeta Andres , Deegen Peter , Sharma Ajay 
Published: September 2022

Abstract

Due to their high degree of heterogeneity, mixed forest plantations give rise to numerous questions regarding the economic feasibility of this type of forest management. We simulated the growth of loblolly pine mixed in various proportions with white oak and sweetgum, two commercially important hardwood species of the southeastern United States, to obtain a better understanding of the optimality of mixed plantation management. The most relevant result was that, in all scenarios, the maximum land expectation values of mixed plantations are higher than the maximum land expectation values of pure plantations established for timber production only, and for plantations managed for combined timber production and carbon sequestration. We identified the density effect between the loblolly pine trees within the mixed plantations as the main factor driving the value of mixed plantations. The mixed white oak and sweetgum trees also increased the maximum land expectation values of the mixed stands in comparison to the less dense pure loblolly pine stands. This implies that the incorporation of hardwoods adds timber but the trees do not represent a substitute for pine. Our analysis showed that mixed forest plantations can be a feasible economic option to diversify the production of timber in the region.
FitzGerald’s Translation of the Mantiq-Ut-Tayr: A Colonial Approach towards Metrics, Textual Rhythm, and Rhyme Translation
Authors: Nakhaei Bentolhoda 
Published: September 2022

The Mantiq-Ut-Tayr[1] is a collection of mystical poems composed by Farid ud-Din Attar in 1177 in Iran. He was a doctor, druggist, perfumer, and at the same time a Sufi in his ideas. In 1857, the British poet and translator, Edward FitzGerald, introduced this collection of couplets to England for the first time. As a Victorian translator, he attempted to colonize the Persian text and recreate Attar’s rhythmic pattern in his translation. In other terms, he tried to introduce the Persian Metrics of the twelfth century into English literature of the nineteenth century.
By introducing Persian fixed metric patterns into English literature, one may wonder how FitzGerald’s invention affected the norms of the Victorian poetry. Has the British translator become successful in recreating the close correlation, which exists between rhythm and the underlying significance of the Mantiq-Ut-Tayr in his translation?
By applying the theories of scholars in linguistics and translation studies, such as Derek Attridge, André Lefevere, Antoine Berman, Susan Bassnett, and Harish Trivedi; this research seeks to investigate the way FitzGerald rendered the Persian Masnavi—rhyming couplets—and the genre in established English norms. Thus, the present study might provide an interesting research field for developing a postcolonial methodology with regard to the rendition of the Mantiq-Ut-Tayr’s rhythm and rhyme in English. In fact, this research attempts to evaluate the change of meaning, comprehension, and above all the reception between the Persian text and the English translation of Attar’s masterpiece.
Keywords: exception, metrics, rhythm, colonial approach, translation, Mantiq-Ut-Tayr.

El uso militar del perro europeo por las huestes castellanas durante la conquista de La Española, 1495-1505
Authors: Bueno Jiménez Alfredo 
Published: September 2022

El estudio analiza el papel que tuvieron las ‘unidades caninas’ o jaurías de origen europeo que adiestraron dentro de la esfera militar, incluyendo otras utilidades que se les otorgó durante el transcurso de las campañas militares de sometimiento en La Española, desde la batalla campal de la Vega Real, en marzo de 1495, hasta la finalización de la Segunda Guerra de Higüey, en marzo 1505, incluyendo su declive en el contexto colonizador. Igualmente, se identifican aquellos elementos que constituyen el equipamiento auxiliar del perro, de carácter defensivo-pasivo, conformado por la carlanca y la barda, a partir de evidencias arqueológicas conservadas en museos de trashumancia, incluyendo referencias contenidas en la literatura e iconografía.
El negro detrás de la dovela: la interacción indo-afro-hispana en La Española del Siglo XVI a partir de la resignificación del material arqueológico de La Vega Vieja (1494-1564)
Authors: Kulstad-González Pauline 
Published: September 2022

La definición tradicional de “dominicanidad” postula que esta se compone del intercambio entre tres raíces: la hispana, la indígena y la africana, aunque en proporciones desiguales. Esta desigualdad se evidencia en la gran cantidad de artefactos españoles e indígenas exhibidos en los museos del país, mientras que los artefactos de herencia africana son relativamente pocos. ¿Por qué este desbalance? Este ensayo propone la necesidad de un cambio de paradigma dentro de la arqueología dominicana para contestar esta pregunta. Este nuevo paradigma resignificaría la narrativa sobre el intercambio indo-afro-hispano del siglo xvi en la isla La Española, comenzando con el reconocimiento de la presencia de los afrodescendientes desde los primeros momentos de la colonización. Más específicamente, propone una resignificación de las características de los artefactos arqueológicos, cambiando la definición de artefacto, tanto en tamaño como unidad, y priorizando quiénes los usaron sobre quiénes los fabricaron. Finalmente, este ensayo aplicará este nuevo paradigma a la colección arqueológica del Parque Histórico y Arqueológico de la Vega Vieja en un estudio de caso.
La villa de Caparra: aciertos y desaciertos de un asentamiento español en el Caribe en las primeras décadas del siglo XVI
Authors: Burset Flores Luis Rafael 
Published: September 2022

A través del estudio de la villa de Caparra, en la isla de San Juan Bautista, que operó por apenas catorce años (1508-1521), pretendemos acercarnos a la experiencia de las poblaciones españolas en las Antillas irradiadas desde la Isla Española en las primeras décadas del siglo xvi. Inevitablemente, se desprenden de esta revisión los aciertos y desaciertos de la elección del lugar por los resultados obtenidos en función de la meta económica de la colonización: expandir la empresa colonizadora; concretamente, la explotación aurífera. Tras un florecimiento inicial que atrajo colonos y mercaderes, creando modelos económicos y sociales, además de infraestructuras, la villa fue abandonada. Se conjugaron el agotamiento del oro y la desaparición de la mano de obra indígena y las encomiendas.
En respuesta, Caparra fue señalada por sus habitantes como tierra enferma y su distancia de la bahía encarecía los productos que adquirían en los mercados de Sevilla y La Española. Había que trasladar la villa a la isleta al norte de la bahía de Puerto Rico. Las estadísticas, sin embargo, parecen demostrar otra situación: la mudanza no fue la panacea esperada. La reducción en los costos de transportación no aumentó el comercio ni los derechos reales pagados, y la isla no atrajo más pobladores. Por eso se promovió un nuevo modelo económico basado en el azúcar. Para abordar este tema, hemos consultado fuentes del Archivo de Indias, complementándolas con importantes transcripciones de cédulas reales y libros de Contaduría. Apoyamos nuestros hallazgos con tablas creadas con fuentes primarias, complementadas con datos publicados.
Viaje e interacciones de las mujeres peninsulares en las Antillas: 1493-1519
Authors: Encontra y Vilalta María José 
Published: September 2022

Los materiales historiográficos sobre las acciones o hechos realizados por las españolas en los espacios americanos no han sido abordados ampliamente hasta este momento. La historia ha tratado el tema de las conquistas, guerras y colonizaciones como acciones eminentemente masculinas. No obstante, en los últimos años, gracias al esfuerzo de algunos historiadores y arqueólogos, se han podido demostrar y plantear nuevas líneas de investigación que tambalean y cuestionan los paradigmas aceptados tradicionalmente en la historia, en donde las mujeres se mostraban sumisas, abnegadas y siempre encerradas en espacios privados. Es sobre esta temática de investigación donde se han centrado los principales y acalorados debates académicos, y es en este sentido que se presenta este artículo. En torno a ello, y utilizando principalmente documentación del Archivo de Indias y de otros trabajos más contemporáneos a nosotros, se abordará la vida de las mujeres peninsulares antes de su partida hacia los espacios antillanos, los trámites administrativos, sus incomodidades y carencias en el interior de los barcos y, por último, su arribo a los espacios americanos; transmitiendo y formando a través de sus interacciones con los taínos una nueva sociedad, como antecedente de lo que sucedería de manera posterior en la zona continental. Con ello se demostrará una vez más la importancia que tuvieron las castellanas y las extremeñas para las políticas imperiales, en el sentido de transmisoras de la cultura peninsular. El período que abarcará el artículo serán los años de 1492, fecha del primer viaje colombino, y 1519, cuando Hernán Cortés salió de la isla de Cuba.
Urgensi Pemahaman Local Wisdom Masyarakat Dalam Proses Penyuluhan Keagamaan Di Kalangan Penyuluh Agama Islam
Authors: Suhandi Suhandi 
Published: September 2022

Dakwah management must be carried out in accordance with sociocultural conditions of the concerned society, which is bound to a constant progress triggered by globalization and the advance of technology, in turn often causing a multi-dimensional crisis. On the basis of this argument, this research is aimed at exploring the ways in which a Muslim adviser (Penyuluh Agama Islam) could effectively play his counselling roles in society. By focusing on a Muslim society in Langkapura, Bandar Lampung, this paper proposes the significant use of local wisdom for every dakwah management. It argues that every religious counselling activity needs to based on a well-constructed synergy between religious teachings and local wisdom of the society in which the activity of dakwah is taking place. By doing this, this research is (expected to be) able to produce a religious counselling model with a local wisdom approach, that may be adapted in another similar context.
Islam Nusantara Dan Apresiasi Atas Kebudayaan Lokal
Authors: Putra Andi Eka 
Published: September 2022

Islamic thought in the last several decades of Indonesia has been dynamic. As such is evidenced by the emergence of some new terms related to Indonesian Islam, such as modernist Muslim, trans-formative Islam, Islamic postmodernism, Indigenous Islam, and Nusantara Islam (Islam of the archipelago). These terms constitute an idea of thoughts largely promoted by Nahdlatul Ulama, or NU (the largest organization of traditionalist Muslim in Indonesia and elsewhere), especially among its younger generation. As a form of thoughts, they are considered fine. Yet, many groups of Muslim have objected them, arguing that they may become a new form of “school of Islam” (madzhab). Nusantara Islam, in principle, promotes the values of tolerance and humanism, and recognizes local expressions of culture and beliefs, specific to the archipelago. This characteristic of Nusantara Islam is not dissimilar with that of the NU, that is, celebrating local tradition as a locus teologicus. Thus, the emergence of Nusantara Islam discourse has become a heated debate in Muslim public, because of its inclusive style and its opposition with the so-called ‘Arabized Islam’.
Makkiyah – Madaniyah Asy Syatibi Dan Implikasinya Terhadap Pengembangan Pemikiran Islam Substantif Dan Kultural
Authors: Alamsyah Alamsyah 
Published: September 2022

This writing studies Syatibi’s thought on the appropriation of both the Qur’an and Hadith of the makkiyah period as “the root” (usul) and those of the madaniyyah as “the branch” (furu’). Such thought implies the function of the makkiyah texts as “the principle”, and the madaniyah ones as “the implementation”. This paper then questions the extent to which such thought by Syatibi is relevant with the renewal of Islamic law in contemporary Muslim societies. It uses literary study as its research method, and does its data analysis qualitatively. This research finds out that, Syatibi views the makkiyah texts as an ushul that constitutes a subsistence of maqasid syariah (purposes of the law), while the madaniyah texts as a furu’, one that forms the implementation of that maqasid syairah. Using his theory of istiqrai makwani, Syatibi views the makkiyah texts as a deductive justification which consists of legal norms between human beings. The teachings of morality and ethics contained in the makkiyah justification are fixed, while those of the madaniyah justification are dynamic and contingent. The consequence is that any form of obligation and prohibition in Islamic law which are derived from the madaniyah justification is dynamic and are changing according to its spatial and historical contexts: hence the compatibility of the texts with the principle of maqasid syariah.

Published: September 2022

If compared with other Indonesian Islamic organizations, histroy of Ahmadiyah is a topic that had been little discussed. Ahmadiyah is like a forgotten dot in the the prolonged history of Indonesia. Ahmadiyah has been in the archiplego for more than eighty years agos, but its existence is even until today still under suspicious eyes for many reasons, either theological particularly due to the acceptance of new prophethood; or its social attitude for being exclusive and due to political conpirative reason alleging Ahmadiyah as being aimed at weakening Islam from within. Apart from those controversies, not many people aware that Ahmadiyah, either the Qadianis or Lohoreans, have once contributed to the history of Islamic modernization in Indonesia. This article tries to depct in general how Ahmadiyah has been paving the way that contribute to the shaping if modern Islamic discource and movement in Indonesia.

Every religion must have its concept of living in peace with nature, including Buddhism with its theological teachings. Buddhism is known as a religion that highly upholds a sense of savage love for the preservation of nature. Buddhism views that there is a relationship between one's morality and nature preservation because events that occur in nature influence each other. This study aims to determine the perspective of the Buddhist Vihara Mahavira Graha Semarang about living in peace with nature. The research data was obtained by conducting in-depth interviews with Suhu Chuan Ling, then analyzed by descriptive-analytic. The results of this study are (1) Buddhism has a concern for the surrounding environment to preserve the environment: (2) Living in peace with nature is closely related to the vegetarian lifestyle as the Buddhists in this monastery who adhere to the Mahayana sect; (3) Buddhism understands that nature is impermanent, so humans need to accept the nature possessed by nature so that the benefits that humans receive also increase.

COVID-19疫情的爆發，突顯出公共健康倫理中自主性與公共健康之間的緊張關係。以“publichealth”、“ethics”、“autonomy”為主題詞在WebofScience核心合集數據庫中進行文獻收集，借助CiteSpace6.1軟件進行信息可視化分析，發現2020年1月1日至2022年5月14日期間，生命倫理/公共健康倫理領域對於“自主性”概念的討論大體上集中在“知情同意”、“健康保健政策"、“健康質量”、“信息技術”和“老年歧視/老年群體”範圍。本文在此基礎上提煉分析COVID-19疫情中的四個“自主性‘‘難題 如何避免以公共健康/公共利益為名過度限制自主性、在數字技術應用中如何保障自主性、如何保障老年群體的自主性和生命權，如何通過促進自主性來推動公共健康目標的實現。COVID-19疫情是一個重塑公共健康倫理自主性概念的歷史契機。冷酷的病毒已經作為一種媒介把人類的命運緊密地聯繫起來，而基於關懷倫理和共同體倫理重塑的自主性概念則有望給疫情下的世界帶來團結、温暖和希望。
In the field of public health ethics, the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the tension between autonomy and public health. Using CiteSpace 6.1 software and information visualization analysis, we performed a search of literature in the Web of Science core collection database using thematic words such as “public health”, “ethics” and “autonomy”, we found that from January 1, 2020 to May 14, 2022, discussions on the concept of “autonomy” within the field of bioethics/public health ethics were generally focused on the following topics: “informed consent”, “health care policy”, “health quality”, “information technology”, “ageism” and “elderly group”. In this paper, we distill and analyze four controversial issues: how can we avoid excessive restrictions on autonomy in the name of public health/public interest? How can we protect autonomy when using digital technology? How can we protect the autonomy and rights of the elderly? How can we advance the goals of public health by promoting autonomy? The COVID-19 pandemic is a unique historical opportunity to reshape the concept of autonomy within the field of public health ethics. Although the virus has bound the fate of humanity together, a reinvented concept of autonomy based on care and community ethics holds the promise of bringing solidarity, comfort, and hope to the world in the midst of the pandemic.
傳統中醫學傳染觀念的道德問題—以一則宋代公案為中心的討論

LANGUAGE NOTE | Document text in Chinese; abstract also in English.
“瘟疫”是否具有傳染性，在中國的傳統文化認知中並不僅關乎純粹的醫學事實，而是與道德人倫、社會禮教和國家王政聯繫在一起的複雜的問題。南宋理學家程迥在《醫經正本書》中，分別從醫學理論和社會危害兩個方面，力證疫疾並無人際傳染性。之後朱熹批判了這個論點，認為更應該告知民眾：雖然疫疾會傳染，但以恩義出發則不應迴避。他們做出如此論證的原因，是在現實的抗疫手段效果有限的情況下，將注意力集中在解決瘟疫所帶來的社會倫理問題這個點上。但他們對瘟疫傳染性的觀點上，都採取了根據論證的需要而因應詮釋的立場，由於理學觀念上的差異，程迥的重點是如何克服外部因素的不利影響，朱熹則更關注如何從內部推動個人道德品質的精進。
In traditional Chinese culture, whether a “plague” is considered contagious is not only a matter of medical fact but a complex issue related to morality, social ethics, and national royal power. Cheng Jiong, a neo-Confucianist scholar in the Southern Song Dynasty, argued in Reserved Copy of Medical Classics that, based on both medical theory and the principle of social harms, an epidemic disease should not be considered contagious. Zhu Xi later criticized this argument; he suggested that the public should be informed that an epidemic disease is contagious but should also be advised not to avoid it for the sake of kindness. This paper speculates on the possible reasoning behind their positions: When anti-epidemic measures had limited practical effect, they focused on addressing the ethical issues brought about by the plague rather than solving the problem of the plague itself. They then chose to construct their arguments as a response to the question of whether the plague was contagious. With their divergent interpretations of neo-Confucianist concepts, Cheng Jiong focused on how to overcome the effects of external adversities, whereas Zhu Xi focused more on how an individual might promote moral character from within.
