The essence of an autopsy in the criminal investigation process is an attempt to uncover a truth related to what happened and ascertain the cause of death of the body or victim, so that in the investigation process can be known and confirmed the crime that caused the death of the victim so that the investigator can use the results of the autopsy examination as evidence, whether it is a crime or not a crime. The results of the forensic examination are objective and scientific material evidence and is one of the evidences that is difficult for the defendant to refute later in court.

There has been a significant increase in the acceptance of International Financial Reporting around the world. The purpose of this paper is to highlight the factors that are likely to influence the environment in which accounting operates through a case study of India and selected G8 countries (USA, UK, Japan and Germany), and provide an understanding of the prospects for the implementation of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs). The trade and financial markets are expanding at a swift pace internationally. Due to increasing product/service exchange globally, and growth of multinational companies there emerged a need for reducing the differences in accounting across the globe. The International Accounting Standard Board (IASB) and some other major boards have made an effort to bring in common financial reporting standards accepted by many countries. Previous studies mention the international financial reporting convergences, but the studies did not indicate the underlying reasons behind such methods. The principal objectives of the study are (1) To assess the factors that create a demand for adopting the IFRSs and in India and the four G8 countries (USA, UK, Japan and Germany) (2) To explore and analyse the gaps in the existing financial reporting practices and regulatory framework that lead to financial transgression. Previous studies mention the international financial reporting convergences, but the studies did not indicate the underlying reasons behind such methods. The study gives an understanding about the scenario of convergence of IFRSs with respect to G8 countries and India.

This paper is an attempt to analyze Nigeria’s principal cybercrime legislation from social, technical and legal perspectives in a bid to highlight some perceived gaps, which may hamper the expected goals of the law. An exploratory narrative-textual case study approach is adopted in this paper and emphasis is made on some grey areas identified in the law. The points discussed include the concept of critical national infrastructure vis-א-vis critical infrastructure, and the responsibilities of some vital agencies and ministries. A careful review of the legislation in comparison with international best practices showed some inadequacies owing to supposedly undefined scope of application. Consequent upon the foregoing, this paper concludes that while the principal legislation on cybercrime is praiseworthy, there is need to amend the extant law to provide for a more robust legislation that is both reactionary and effectively proactive in promoting other spheres of cybersecurity.

The aim of the study was primarily focused on the evaluation of anticancer activity of the solvent extracts of bark, flower and leaves of Simarouba glauca and comparison of cytotoxicity. The bark, flower and leaves were subjected to solvent extraction of phytochemicals using Soxhlet apparatus, with four solvents viz methanol, chloroform, ethanol and water. The solvent extracts obtained from the extraction process were examined for anticancer property on HCT116 cell lines by MTT assay with camptothecin as a standard. The results substantiated the previous findings from other researchers that the leaves of the plant possess anticancer property. An inverse relationship between the cell viability and the concentration of the sample extract was observed. The ethanol extracts of the plant parts exhibited highest cell viability with 35.8% at 50μg/ml concentration. The methanol extract of flowers manifested the maximum cell viability of 66.8% at 50 μg/ml concentration compared to bark and leaves. The chloroform extracts showed less than 50% cell growth at the lowest dose of the sample. The cell viability after the treatment with water extracts was below 60% at a concentration 50 μg/ml. The bark extract showed highest cell inhibition compared to flower and leaves irrespective of the solvent. The treatment of HCT116 cells with bark extracts from ethanol, methanol and water at 450 μg/ml demonstrated complete cell death. The results conclude that the extracts of bark, flower and leaves possess anticancer activity. The bark emerged as a better source of anticancer substance than leaves and flowers. The investigation envisaged new avenue for the use of bioactive compounds from bark in the treatment of cancer.

Hyperspectral remote sensing images are showing rapid improvements in many domain such as weather, land cover classification, underwater species identification, exploring the space etc. Over the past decades pixel-wise classification have been focussed by the research community by improving accuracy, but still the problems persists due to low spatial resolution and multiple scattering effects of light generates the mixed substances in a pixel. In recent decade, the sub-pixel-wise and object based methods are focussed in a hyperspectral image classification. This paper concentrates on the experimentation of hyperspectral sub-pixel wise classification. There are two different types of spectral unmixing techniques are based on linear and nonlinear unmixing approaches. In linear unmixing techniques assumes that in macroscopic pixel level, pure substances may present per pixel, but in reality the intimate mixtures present in microscopic level due to the scattering effects of light. Basically there are two step involved in the nonlinear unmixing: endmembers extraction and abundances fractions present per pixel. This paper proposed the novel iterative simplex volume analysis Convolutional Neural Network (IS_CNN) method to extract the end members. And further, this research work employed fully constrained least square (FCLS) method to extract the endmembers of the hyperspectral data. The overall performance of the proposed method is measured with Root mean squared error (RMSE), the IS_CNN RMSE Average value for all extracted end members is 0.08 which shows the significant performance when compared with the FCLS method.

This paper analyzes the performance of Solar PV based stand-alone and grid connected multilevel inverter topology. For standalone system having different load power factor with and without filter, this is found that when the filter is connected, the THD is reduced from 12.2% to below 5% (IEEE standard). Moreover, it is also explained that the minimum THD and maximum circuit efficiency is achieved at a particular load power factor. Further the performance is analyzed for a grid connected system having linear and nonlinear load connected at PCC with and without filter. For a linear load, if the filter is connected then the THD in PCC voltage is reduced from 13% to below 5% and the THD in grid current falls from 14.8% to below 5 %. The efficiency of the complete configuration is calculated as more than 80%, however due to additional losses in filter a small decrement in efficiency is examined. Similarly for a nonlinear load of Diode Bridge, the harmonics in PCC voltage, grid current can be reduced to the IEEE standard by connecting filter. Simulation results from SIMULINK/MATLAB Software are tabulated for both standalone and grid tied PV system and the results are explained graphically.

Then, that magnetic field information was mapped using the Surfer 9 software to identify special locations such as concert columns, stair case which could be used as landmarks for robot navigation and an algorithm was developed to navigate the mobile robot using mapped information. In order to measure the magnetic field at each location, a microcontroller based portable magnetometer was developed. Finally, a simple robot vehicle was navigated successfully throughout the mapped area using the magnetic field information. Data were collected at 397 different locations in two rooms in a house with concrete columns and slabs. In addition, data were collected continuously at three selected points in order to analyze variations of magnetic fields during both day and night time. The moving average filtering was applied to remove noise and fluctuations of the data from the sensor. The diurnal magnetic field variations were monitored from 6.00AM to 10.00PM. The field variations were stable at night time. During day time fluctuations were observed owing to the sunlight and the range of variation was around 10-2 µT. The uncertainty of the measurements was around 10-4 µT level. Consequently, the diurnal variations were found not to affect the magnetic field measurements significantly.

The image processing techniques have become very significant due to the wide spread of computer technology. Crop disease detection has been a popular topic of research recently. While designing of systems, more often for the interpreting or manipulating picture information, various operations needs to be performed which are segmentation, feature extraction and classification. The input images can be Digital camera images or Thermal or Hyperspectral image. This image is partitioned on the basis of various parameters. Segmentation finds the boundaries, objects as well as other relevant data from an image. From the segmented image features can be extracted which are color, texture, intensity. These features then help to classify the segmented object into categories which involves use of support vector machines, fuzzy c-means, back propagation etc. This paper consists of the study of various methods of crop leaf disease detection.

Early detection and characterization of the disease are considered to be critical factors in the management and control of diseases. Firefly Optimization Algorithm with Homogeneous Fuzzy Rule-Based Classification System (FOA-Homo-FRBCS) and FOA with Heterogeneous FRBCS (FOA-Hetro-FRBCS) were proposed for early prediction of lung cancer, leukemia and heart diseases in a distributed environment. In FOA-Homo-FRBCS and FOA-Hetro-FRBCS method, the clinical dataset was converted into fuzzy sets. The converted data was split into a number of partitions and each partition was processed in mappers. The most significant features of clinical data were selected by using Firefly Optimization Algorithm (FOA). In FOA-Homo-FRBCS, the selected features were explored by FRBCS where only Random Forest (RF) was used to generate rules for prediction of diseases. In FOA-Hetro-FRBCS, the selected features were explored by FRBCS where RF, Bayesian Tree, and NeuroTree were used to generate the rules for prediction of diseases. Sometimes, FOA based feature selection has a slow convergence problem. So in this paper, Hybridized Firefly and Differential evolution Optimization Algorithm (HFDOA) is proposed for feature selection. It integrates the Firefly Algorithm (FA) with Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm by combining the attraction mechanisms of FA with the mixing ability of DE to increase the speed of convergence and the diversity of the population. Moreover, Auto tuned hybridized Firefly and Differential search evolution Optimization Algorithm (AFDOA) is proposed to automatically tune the randomness parameters of HFDOA. AFDOA makes the search space becomes narrow for feature selection. It effectively reduces the time consumption for feature selection and also increases the prediction accuracy. The selected features by AFDOA are used in Hetro-FRBCS to predict the diseases. This process is named as AFDOA-Hetro-FRBCS.

Medical Image fusion has become an integral part in diagnosis and treatment planning. Medical Image fusion is the process of combining two or more images from different modalities to form a new image containing complemented details than the source images. Image fusion improves resolution of the image thereby helping the medical practitioners in determining the position of the disease. Fusion of medical images for different cross-sectional modalities is widely used, mostly where functional images are fused with anatomical data. Ultrasound has for some time now been the standard imaging technique used for treatment planning in prostate cancer, Alzheimer’s, stroke, Glioma, dementia and many more. While this approach is laudable and has yielded some positive results, latest developments have been the integration of images from ultrasound and other modalities such as PET-CT to complement the missing properties of ultrasound images. Non-subsampled contourlet transform based image fusion is proposed that will help greatly in modern radiation therapy treatment planning.

Cyclones in Bay of Bengal (BoB) are distressing natural catastrophes that affect people, coastal ecosystem and property. Warming of BoB modifies heat flux variables and raises cyclone potential to higher extent. Analyses of Optimum Interpolation Sea Surface Temperature (OISST) data from 1981 till 2014 and Objectively Analyzed air-sea Fluxes (OAFlux) data were carried out in pursuant of air-sea heat flux and cyclone heat potential. Long term trend analysis between warming of BoB and cyclone heat potential was carried out. It is found out that the temperature of BoB and cyclone heat potential are increasing. Warmer atmosphere hold more moisture than that it could convey latent heat to atmosphere. Higher sea surface temperature (SST) increases heat flux, as a result, ocean stores more heat energy. Spatial analysis shows higher cyclone heat potential in North-Western side during April and North-Eastern side during October.

Conventional fuels such as petroleum, coal and natural gas will release large amount of CO2 to the atmosphere. Due to this effect, global warming is caused. It is crucial to develop alternative renewable fuel sources that are sustainable, cost effective and environmental friendly. Biomass based fuels is gaining advantage in recent years as an alternative to fossil fuels. The gasification of biomass will generate producer gas. The gas can be used as a fuel for thermal and power applications. The raw producer gas that comes from a gasifier contains impurities like tar and dust particles. Eventually, these impurities will reduce the quality of the producer gas and it cannot be used in engines directly. The findings from the literature shows that the natural fibers could be used as filter material to filter the producer gas. Therefore, in this present work, a filter box is developed and wood shaves were used as a bio-fiber material to enrich the producer gas. With the help of the natural fibers as filter material, enriched producer gas can be obtained. From the result, it was observed that there is a significant increase in producer gas composition by using bio-filter.

Since the 1960s, many scholars have noticed that the plural symbol “men” in Chinese can refer to people as well as things. The first meaning is mainly found in the Gansu and Qinghai regions. Hebei and Shandong were also reported this kind of usage. Many scholars believe that the plural sign “men” as to things is actually affected by the Altai language. So far, scholars have had more static descriptions of “men” in a single area, but their specific research on Altai language is relatively limited. They mentioned that these dialects were influenced by the Altai language, but they did not suggest which aspects specifically and the results under this influence. We mainly examine the co-occurrence of Uzbek language plural signs with proper nouns, countable nouns, and abstract nouns in China.

Lettuce is one of the most widely used vegetable crops in our diet. We consume lettuce as a base for salads, on sandwiches and burgers to add texture and even as a garnish to decorate trays of food at parties. The crop comprises seven main groups of cultivars differing phenotypically. The difference between lettuce varieties is often determined by inspection of the leaves, which is time-consuming, subjective and prone to error. In this study, three lettuce cultivars: Cos or Romaine, Iceberg, and Latin lettuce are classified using its seeds by image processing. Using Fuzzy Logic and KNN as classifiers, the cultivars are differentiated according to three morphological features: area, perimeter and equivalent diameter from 216 training images and 72 testing images. The study is supposed to be beneficial to lettuce breeders and farmers as it provides a new way to classify lettuce by its seeds. Understanding the different classes of seeds has great significance as it helps in choosing the right seeds for farming.

In this paper, a compact elliptical dual-band microstrip antenna fed with a coplanar waveguide is presented. The proposed antenna is designed and analyzed using a 3-D full-wave electromagnetic software named, High Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS) software based on finite element method (FEM). The design adopts a bi-layer substrate configuration where the elliptical radiating patch is printed on a Rogers RO3010 substrate of dimensions 2.265x2x0.75mm3, with a dielectric constant of 10.2 and loss tangent of 3.5.10-3 at 9.4 GHz on which the radiating patch occupies a surface area of 0.754mm2. Moreover, Rogers RO3010 is placed on the top of another dielectric, which is a Rogers RO4350B, having a relative permittivity constant of 3.66 and loss tangent of 4.10-3 at 9.4 GHz. The antenna operates at 28GHz and 38GHz, two of the selected bands allocated to 5G by International Telecommunications Union. The simulation results show that the antenna achieves a minimum wide bandwidth of 4.14GHz and a constant gain of 6dB over the operating frequency range. As a miniaturized antenna, its electric characteristics (impedance, bandwidth, radiation efficiency and gain) along with the antennaג€™s size have been chosen as comparison parameters with those found in recent research works. In addition, previous electric parameters, together with the return loss and VSWR have been selected for the proposed Elliptical antenna that have been improved by inserting two F-shaped slots in the ground plane. These slots in the ground plane are well-known as Defected Ground Structure (DGS) technique.

This study evaluates the influence of capital structure (CS) on the financial performance (FP) of listed companies on the Amman Stock Exchange (ASE). An empirical model based on panel data obtained from 112 Jordanian listed companies between 2005 and 2017 is used to test correlation between CS and corporate performance to determine the statistical significance of the relationship. The research findings show that the accounting performance measure that best explains the connection between CS and FP for all the companies listed on ASE is Return on Assets (ROA). From this model, a conclusion can be reached that firm size and asset growth have a significant positive impact on ROA while short-term and total debt levels have a significant negative impact on ROA for all the corporations listed on ASE. The proxies for CS have the same effects on ROE, in which case the effect of total debt is not statistically significant. Moreover, total debt has a statistically significant impact on EPS and Tobinן�½s Q for all the sectors. Therefore, the research concludes that CS impacts on FP significantly.

A structural system of Tremendous importance in constructions are slabs or floor systems, it is called two dimensional slab structural elements, where the third dimension is small compared with the other two basic dimensions. Loads acting perpendicular slabs, to the flat principal, may be from different shapes Y configurations relying on the need for which apply at all times seeks to make them lighter but covering the greatest possible distances and always seeking to improve productivity and energy savings in construction. A widely used type slabs are currently slabs reinforced concrete, these systems have several advantages such as high resistance to compressive stresses and flexural actions, in addition to a particularly low value in the construction of the elements. However, it has certain disadvantages in terms of weight and maintenance of structures, renovation in large-scale constructions. In this area, the mid-20th century systems relieved hollow concrete slabs were created in order to reduce high ratios weight-resistance of conventional systems. These systems reduce or change the concrete within the middle of the slab by a lighter material to from reduce the weight own from the structure. But nevertheless these relieved as in slabs reduce the strength thereof before exposure to shear forces and fire. In the early 90s German engineer Jorgen Breuning found a way to improve these drawbacks in slabs, linking the air space, steel and concrete in a hollow slab bidirectional, using spheres made of plastic thus giving rise to the BDT. BD is a biaxial technology that will increase span lengths and makes floors thinner by means of lowering the weight at the same time as keeping the performance of reinforced concrete slabs. This paper gives some of the reviews related to bubble Deck slab.

The construction of huge concrete structures with gradually complex designed forms that have congested reinforcement has been increased. Therefore, the need to improve the current practices of concrete technology to introduce new kinds of concrete with superior properties has attracted the researchers to conduct more studies in this regard. As a result, the researchers achieved their goal and developed a new kind of concrete which is known as self-compacting concrete (SCC). Meanwhile, one of the biggest challenges facing the industry of the civil engineering is how to be eco-friendly. One way is by using the natural resources judiciously in construction practices. Another way is by utilization of recycled materials in the production of concrete. The amount of the destructed and demolished waste that has been increased due to the great request of materials of construction in current years put an enormous pressure on nature. So, this has made the use of recycled aggregate in concrete a vital step towards eliminating the depletion of the natural resources of aggregate, sustainability enhancement and protecting the environment. This paper presents a review on the effect of recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) on the mechanical properties of self-compacting. Despite the reduction in its mechanical properties, SCC made with RCA can be easily used in constructing structural elements and help in enhancing the sustainability of concrete.

Persistence of data has been around for many decades. In computer science, storing data permanently and efficiently is the rationale behind all the innovations in the persistence media. The contemporary technology to store and handle voluminous data is the storage service rendered by cloud computing platforms. However, data owner has no control over cloud infrastructure. It is totally in an untrusted environment. Nevertheless, there have been some mechanisms to deal with the security of data that has been outsourced. Right from public auditing methods to provable data possession to data integrity methods came into existence to ensure cloud storage security. Cryptographic methods could solve security problems. However, flexible encryption methods that help in secure data outsourcing that supports search and data dynamics on encrypted data are still desired. In this paper, we proposed a methodology that handle secure data storage in cloud and allow operations directly on encrypted data. Besides it takes care of the different formats of data. Jelastic cloud platform is used with two kinds of environments, one for structured data and one for unstructured and semi-structured data, are used for empirical study. A prototype application is built using Java programming language that facilitates intuitive interface to have flexible encrypted storage in public cloud and data dynamics directly on encrypted cloud datawith the help of Homomorphic Encryption (HE). The empirical results showed that the proposed system is more efficient than many existing methods.

Social networking sites generally push aside trust issues to maximize social interaction. One of the barriers to trust in online environment is privacy because Internet by design lacks a unified method for identifying who communicates with whom. Privacy concern is a person's awareness and assessment of risks related to privacy violations. Violation to privacy happens mostly because users themselves don't understand the consequences of sharing their personal data with peers. Context aware systems like cameras, accelerometers, microphones etc. affect privacy to a larger extent. Individuals are more likely to be concerned about their privacy when information is used without one's knowledge. In this paper, a privacy preservation scheme that safeguards users from online social networks selling data to third parties, based on distributed ledger technology is presented. The proposed scheme uses IPFS to store the digital content with high integrity thus making it available to all.

Vernam Cipher, known as One Time Pad, was proved to be unbreakable; however, the keystream digits have to be completely random. Stream Ciphers address the issues by forgoing a degree of security by using a pseudorandom number generator, yet a known-plaintext attack is still a challenge when the key is used more than once due to a weak classical combiner XOR. With this, the study improved the algorithm using multilevel encryption techniques. The proposed algorithm evaluated with the use of Strict Avalanche Effect Criterion with average results of 81.48%. Moreover, the combined results of the Randomness Test having the P-Value between 0-1 (Table 4) indicates that the proposed method showed better results over the original Vernam Cipher algorithm.

The Ubiquity of Online Social Networks(OSNs) is creating new sources for healthcare information, particularly in the context of pharmaceutical drugs. Opinion mining on twitter data is an emerging topic in research. Tweets are usually short, more ambiguous and contain a huge amount of noisy data. Sometimes, it is difficult to understand the user’s opinion. The first step of the opinion mining is text preprocessing of Twitter data. This research paper focuses on the preprocessing techniques to enhance the accuracy of the opinion classification. Twitter’s contents include users’ behaviors, states of mind, comments on certain topics etc, and a lot of these contents express the users’ opinions unavoidably. Data Preprocessing is the process used to clean useless text from unstructured text for further analysis. The preprocessing is the most difficult task; since it can be done in various methods applied in twitter dataset. The present paper is based on the demonstration of a complete step-by-step process of analyzing opinions from tweets related to some specific diabetic drugs. R-tool is used for performing all essential steps. This research work proves as an initiative process to identify diabetic drugs(generic and brand) and extract potential adverse effects by analyzing the content of twitter messages using opinion mining analysis.

Cryptography is used during the exchange of information to guarantee the confidentiality and integrity of data. The hill cipher is a polygraph cipher with a fundamental structure and quick calculations. However, it could be weak with a known-plaintext attack. Another downside is the uncertainty of an invertible key matrix for decryption. In this paper, the process of encryption of plaintext in 128-bit blocks using base 64 conversion, cipher block chaining, and modified substitution box was applied to overcome these weaknesses of the Hill cipher. The proposed method provides improved data security and overcomes the drawbacks of the original hill cipher algorithm. The tests result validates that based on the actual experiment, the security of the ciphertext increases to 64.27% of the avalanche effect score and passes through the randomness test method.

Financial institutions possess a great deal of credit risk in assessing credit application for approval. In recent days, to assess, manage and to make decisions on the credit risks of the customers, financial institutions employ internal scorecards. However, major banks use several existing one-dimensional credit scoring model which may lead to inaccurate assessment results. In this paper, a three-dimensional hybrid credit scoring technique has been proposed that includes sequential application scoring along with the dual credit scoring matrix model. Dual credit scoring model uses behavioural credit scoring and credit bureau scoring for computing the trust rating. Also, the behavioural scoring model employs an optimized multiple rank score based feature selection for accurate scoring. On employing the signed approach based trust ratings, the customers are categorized into three risk groups for assessing and managing the customer credit risks. The credit strategies to be followed in making decisions are also presented along with the empirical analysis. The results from the analysis show that the proposed method provides 88% precision with 43.17 K-S statistics value.

Microbial asymmetric reduction of ketone is an efficient tool for the synthesis of chiral alcohols. Many reports are available for the bio-reduction of acetophenone and its derivatives, since it is widely used model substrate. This research focus on exploring the soil fungal isolates for their ability towards the reduction of acetophenone and its derivatives to their corresponding chiral alcohols using growing cells instead of resting cells. Bio-reduction of acetophenone, 4-fluoro acetophenone, and 4-chloro acetophenone were carried out using different fungal cultures isolated from soil. All the isolates exhibited a good reduction capability when grown in an optimal condition. Among the screened fungal cultures, Penicillium sp. and Aspergillus sp. showed significant bioconversion with varying enantio-selectivity. However, the Penicillium sp. has showed maximum ability of bio-reduction. The best performing isolate was characterized using internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region and found to be Penicillium rubens VIT SS1, which showed higher conversion and selectivity more than 90% towards acetophenone and its derivatives. The reaction conditions such as pH, temperature and media were evaluated for the bio-reduction of acetophenone using Penicillium rubens VIT SS1. The substrate loading was increased from 0.5g/L to 6g/L at shake flask level using the optimized condition pH 5±0.5 and temperature 25±2°C. This study revealed huge potential of fungal cultures for the synthesis of many aromatic chiral alcohols in a simpler, novel and cost effective manner.

University introductory programming courses are part of the curricula of many engineering and sciences programs. These courses provide a set of programming exercises for students. However, for many novice students, it is very difficult to learn. In particular, these students often get stuck and frustrated when attempting to solve programming exercises. One way to assist beginning programmers to overcome difficulties in learning to program is to use intelligent tutoring systems (ITSs) for programming, which can provide students with personalized hints of students’ solving process in programming exercises. Many ITSs for programming that offer programming exercises provide automated feedback on student programs. In spite of the proven effectiveness of ITSs for, not many ITSs for programming are utilized in real classrooms. Because of interoperability issues, ITSs for programming are difficult to build in current educational platforms without additional work. This disadvantage is significant because ITSs for programming require considerable time and resources for their implementation. In this research work, the paper presents both a soft and technical interoperability of programming exercises. With regard to the soft interoperability of programming exercises, the paper discusses on a classification of programming exercises. With regard to the technical interoperability of programming exercises, this paper presents a framework that addresses the content and communication interoperability issues typically found in the domain of programming.

Sumatra Island is one of Indonesia's regions which has a high risk of forest fires. Even though many scientists have studied forest fires using various perspectives, little research analyzed the determinants of forest fires quantitatively. This article aims to analyze the influence of village topography (X1), geographical position of villages with forests area (X2), forest functions (X3), sources of population income (X4), resident agricultural commodities (X5), slush and burn traditions (X6), residents dependency upon forest area (X7), cooking fuel for most families (X8), the number of civil defense (pertahanan sipil or hansip) or community protection (perlindungan masyarakat or linmas) office at village level (X9) against forest fires on Sumatra Island using logistic regression. The research data came from the 2018 Village Potential survey produced by the Central Bureau of Statistic of the Republic of Indonesia. Data analysis focused on three provinces (South Sumatra, Riau and Jambi) which had a high risk of forest fires compared to other provinces on Sumatra Island. The results showed that of the nine independent variables identified as predictors of forest fires, only four independent variables (X6, X3, X5, X9) significantly affected Y (forest fires incident). The final logistic regression model can explain Y by 5 percent significantly, X2 (4) = 110.95, p <0.01. All independent variables have a positive relationship with Y and contribute as 202.4% (X6), 25.2% (X3), 86% (X9), and 19.6% (X5). This article recommends that the government should focus on the effort of forest fire prevention on villages that have slush and burn agriculture practices. The government must allow conditional burning for small farmers and regulate the standardization of management and technology for preventing and combating forest fires for private corporations.

This research aim to explore an implementation of lean in Fransiskus Pavilion of RK Charitas Hospital Palembang. This study start from step taken by the team, after training, was to prepare a process map of the pavilion, to identify flow of products that can in turn identify waste that has occurred. Waste identification allowed the team to see what improvement opportunities could be made. After preparing the VSM, we performed the PDCA (Plan, Do, Check, Act) cycles on whatever opportunities successfully derived from the process map. These results noticed an excess inventory in all groups, except for injection. 70% of other inventory in the form of Q-syte closed luer access device (BD) was reduced. While raw material and infusion were reduced by 57% and 31% respectively, while for embalase was reduced by 7%, embalase (33%), and disposible (30%). Infusion is also reduced by 30%. All of them experience reduction with no exception. The injection group is the least reduced i.e., only by 13%. This research show that lean implementations do manage to decrease inventory in certain items and overall items in the hospital. Nevertheless, the result in increasing the number of patients takes time, especially in the segment of patients with very high cost in the VVIP class which is an upgrade of the VIP Plus class.

Plug –in Electric Vehicles (PHEV) ensures the reduction in emission levels as compared to IC engine based vehicles. The minimization of emission levels and fuel costs would lead to over utilization of the Traction battery in a PHEV. This work focuses on development of an Intelligent Energy Management System (IEMS) which optimizes the emission level and fuel costs considering the criticality of the future journey of the PHEV user. The criticality of the journey for the PHEV user regulates the decision made by the Intelligent Energy Management System. The system developed is a Parallel Hybrid system with a BLDC motor assisting the IC engine in propulsion. To validate the IEMS operation a detailed design and development of a Parallel Hybrid Vehicle considering a 150cc Petrol engine as the main propulsion source and a 3kW BLDC motor as the support propulsion source is done. The design and testing of the response of the vehicle to drive cycle is performed using Matlab/Simulink environment. The impact of the designed model on the 14 –Degrees of Freedom is performed to validate the developed model. The prototype is then developed and tested with the IEMS controller. The decision on load sharing is performed using a Non-Dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm –II (NSGA-II) approach. The IEMS optimizes the Emission Level and Fuel costs depending on the next journey distance, altitude and the PHEV user criticality and decides the permissible Depth of Discharge (DoD ) level for the traction battery.

In every society there is always inequality, and that inequality raises social stratification. So, there is no society without stratification or no classless society. In Sasak society inequality occurs not only in aspects related to economics but also inequality occurs in cultural aspects. In this study, it will be discussed about the imbalance of Sasak people in terms of cultural aspects and patterns of mobility in the community. The in-depth interview method is used to gather information about stratification and mobility in the Sasak community. In-depth interviews were conducted with cultural figures and Sasak community leaders who were well versed in the culture of the community. The results of this study indicate that the Sasak community in terms of culture has three social stratifications; perwangse, triwangse, and jajarkarang. The stratification is identical to the type of social caste (caste) in Indian society, but social mobility in Sasak society is not as rigid/closed as in India. Mobility can occur from the upper classes to the lower classes, but mobility cannot occur from the lower classes to the upper classes. This mobility forms a new layer in Sasak society.

Steganography schemes have been widely implemented in multimedia communication. Multimedia data, such as videos are often compressed to reduce the storage in the limited bandwidth. However, most video steganography schemes are not resistant to compression. The video provides additional hidden space in the image frame sequences. This research proposes a frame selection technique based on object motion and modified entropy in video steganography. The object motions in the video frame are determined by horizontal and vertical of motion vectors. The video frames that have object motion are computed by using modified entropy. The lowest modified entropy frames are selected for concealing a secret message. The proposed frame selections able to produce minimum distortion of stego-video compare to non-frame selection. The experimental results show that our scheme achieves good robustness of message recovery in terms of Bit Error Rate (BER) and Normalized Cross-Correlation (NC). The recovered messages of the proposed steganography scheme can survive under video compression.

Land purchased during the marriage period will be classified as shared property. If person is going to release or sell the land, then through the buying and selling process carried out in front of the Land Deed Official in the area where the land is located, and requires approval from the spouse, namely by signing or giving the fingerprint on the sale and purchase deed. Related to this, the release or sale of land with Freehold Title Number 1576 / Nusukan Village, Banjarsari sub-district, Surakarta City carried out by the husband without the wife’s consent, so that the land has now been transferred to another party. This legal research uses a type of empirical juridical research. Empirical juridical research that examines the legal provisions that apply and what happens in reality in the community. The parties present were incomplete, namely the wife of the seller was not present in making the sale and purchase deed, even though the land was shared property, so the sale deed did not fulfill the principle of legality in the State Administrative Law. With no material requirements fulfilled, the Sale and Purchase Act 112/Banjarsari/1994 is legally flawed and can therefore be canceled through a lawsuit to the court. The Freehold Title Number 1576/Nusukan does not fulfill the principle of legality because the Deed of sale with number 112/Banjarsari/1994 made by Land Deed Official Tjondro Santoso, Law Bachelor in his comparisons does not mention the seller’s wife and the signature of the seller’s wife, the deed is legally flawed and can therefore be canceled through a lawsuit to the court. And as a result of Land Deed Official violating Article 38 of Government Regulation Number 24 of 1997, which is subject to administrative actions in the form of a written warning to the dismissal from his position as Land Deed Official by not reducing the possibility of being sued for damages by those who suffer losses due to the sale and purchase agreement. When the State Administrative Decree in this case the Surakarta City Land Agency Office processes the sale and purchase with a legal sales defect and causes damage to other parties, the Surakarta City Land Agency Office may be subject to administrative sanctions and or claims by the injured party through the State Administrative Court.

The Ad Hoc On-Demand Distance Vector routing protocol is the ideal protocol for routing in dense wireless networks. The metrics used to evaluate centrality for such networks include betweenness, closeness, degree, harmonic etc. The harmonic centrality is a better metric at leadership recognition. The authors propose an optimal machine learning approach to predict the harmonic centrality for each node based on few network parameters. The hypothesis that the distance from the source to destination contributes to the harmonic value is investigated. Regression models and Artificial Neural Networks were used to find the equation that fits the feature columns with minimum error. From the experiments, the authors concluded that the distance (closeness) does not contribute significantly towards leadership recognition in the network. Among the various approaches experimented with to predict the harmonic centrality, linear models showed a better fit and minimum error even in the case of scaling up the network.

In a four stroke internal combustion engine significant values of torque are present in several orders of the speed of the engine causing torsional vibrations of the crankshaft. The shaft is designed to have its fundamental torsional mode frequency to be very much higher than the speed of the engine. When a component of insignificant moment of inertia is attached to the crankshaft, it is normally considered that its influence on the dynamics is negligible. It is shown in this work that even with a small variation in the moment of inertia or the speed of the engine can cause significant torsional vibrations under certain conditions.

Potential wireless network systems(i.e.[5G]) require higherinformation rates wireless communication. Currentphysical layertechniques ofwireless connectivity, such as conventional OFDM-basedmulti-carrier communications, are very hard to support traditional applications in huge connection and the sensory Internet. The major reason is that conventional OFDM devices use rectangular time-domain windows withvery poor frequency localization.Furthermore,to safeguard strict orthogonality, flexibleadjustment ofsystem parameters such as subcarrier frequency and spacing is quite hard, which indicates that conventional OFDM systems are very hard to use in future wireless technology with diverse equipment in a massively linked environment.CP-OFDM has poor OOB emissions. The existing techniques in OFDM, like filtering and windowing, reduce the Out of band emissions (OOB), but these will be effective and efficient only when the number of subcarriers is large. Usage of a large number of subcarriers in future wireless systems, in every case is not possible. So FBMC is chosen and considered as the solution for future wireless systems, due to its better spectral properties. I offer a good cohesive structure, rational discussion and success assessment of FBMC in this article and contrast it with systems based on OFDM.

The study aimed to assess and compare the cost and returns of smallholder rice farming and small-scale brick production. The study was conducted in a village that produced both rice farming and brick production in Konawe district of Southeast Sulawesi. Respondents consisted of 19 rice farmers and 19 brick making producers. Data were collected using a questionnaire-based interview method and were analyzed using cost and return analysis and independent sample t-test. Study results showed that both rice farming and brick making were profitable as can be seen from the revenue-cost ratio being higher than 1. The average returns from brick making were higher than that of rice farming, and the difference was statistically significant. These results indicated that higher economic returns might be one of the reasons for rice farmers to shift to brick production. Integrated efforts should be made to increase productivity and profitability of rice farming to maintain its attractiveness to farmers and villagers.

Precision and safety are two very important criteria in the maritime domain, especially for ships that are still facing challenges and problems that necessarily require the integration of high-level electronic and electronic equipment and new generations [1][2]. The PLC is frequently used by floating machines for its robustness [3], accuracy and speed of controlling actuators. But even if it is powerful, like all electronic equipment PLCs have constraints in the processing and calculation of incoming information in case of a critical event caused by a staff or a technical defect [4]. This work aims to improve the technological and IT performance of one of the key machines (PLC) of ship safety. Our general goal is to start the motors and receive the information by sensors while relying on the TIA PORTAL programming software followed by a machine supervision application on WINCC.

This paper discusses the reconstruction of nationalism awareness through education in the border region. The reconstruction process was not easy because the target community is a group of Indonesian Migrant Workers (IMW) living in the neighboring country, i.e. Malaysia. The main problem formulation of this research is how are strategies used by the Management of Sekolah Tapal Batas (STB) to reconstruct nationalism awareness through education? The research represents a case study, whose method is qualitative. Data are gathered through interviews, documentation, and observation. The result shows that the reconstruction of nationalism awareness through education for the community of IMW in the border region must pay attention to the dominance of interests which makes them feel hard to send their children to school. One obstacle why they find it hard to send their children to school is economic factors. Therefore, in the reconstruction of nationalism awareness, the Management of STB must be able to offer negotiations that are acceptable to IMW. The strategy of negotiation is an education service policy that eases their economic finances. The success of attracting children of IMW to study at STB is a form of reconstruction of nationalism awareness through education for parents who work as IMW and their children.

Dasgupta, proposed a method to construct the wedge functions over an element of polygonal discretization of the domain using an analytic approach to determine the denominator of rational wedge function, whereas Wachpress had applied the geometric approach for the same task. We have extended the idea described by Dasgupta and established the conditions, mandatory for the existence and uniqueness of the denominator and consequently the wedge functions in case of the quadrilateral discretization of the domain. A more general form of the linear functions, representing sides of the quadrilateral has been considered, which eradicates restriction on the sides for not passing through the origin. This paper has been furnished with a Mathematica program which computes all the required parameters and finally approximation over the element under consideration.

Image segmentation is an important study in pattern recognition. The objective of segmentation techniques is to split the image into segments which are easier to understand and analyze. There are various methods available for the image segmentation among them thresholding is simplest method. Thresholding function is used to covert a gray-scale image into its equivalent binary image. In this paper, Thermal images are taken for processing. Thermal Imaging is a technique used for viewing the objects in dark, foggy and smoky environment. Otsu method is used for thresholding which is automatic clustering-based method. Pixels are divided into two classes such that inter-class variance is maximum and intra-class variance is minimum. Histogram of grayscale image is generated and then attempt to find thresholds at which the image could optimally be segregated into pixels belonging to the foreground of the image vs pixels belonging to the background of the image. The differential evolution keeps generating threshold values within the range of 1 to 256 and evaluating the fitness of the threshold using Otsu criteria for the image. Using mutations and crossovers, more optimal thresholds are selected generation after generation. The segmented image is shown along with the histogram and the location of the thresholds.

Hill Cipher is a polygraphic encryption which uses matrices to transform blocks of plaintext letters into blocks of ciphertext. In Hill cipher, if the encryption keymatrix called keymatrix is not properly chosen, it is impossible to find the correct decryption matrix. Generally, the keymatrix is chosen randomly, but it sometimes fails to form the correct keymatrix. Further, obtaining a correct keymatrix is not possible in a single run. As there is no deterministic procedure available in generating the keymatrix, this paper presents the generation of same using quadratic form.

A latest scheme is analyzed on wideband dispersion-compensation (WBDC) based on the new format of fiber bragg grating known as apodized chirped fiber Bragg grating known as ACFBG. As pulse spreading became one of the most restricted factors to implement a optimized optical propagation system. It became necessary to remove the dispersive parameter from the transmitted signal. Hence, apodized gratings are the best options to maintain the reflectivity and to improve side-lobe suppression. Gaussian function at gauss parameter 0.2 and tanh function at parameter 0.5 are approached as apodized functions of fiber Bragg grating. This proposed model is simulated on the basis of various data rates i.e 20Gbps and 40 gbps, at particular input power and at diverse fbg length. Optisystem 14.2 software is used to simulate the performance of the system.

The aim of the study is to develop an effective assay to quantify ibutilide fumarate and its related substances in ibutilide fumarate injection. Initially, the API manufacturer’s method was followed which involves two different UV-HPLC assays for both ibutilide fumarate and its related impurities. Upon considering the heat degradation results of the API method, specificity and stability of the known impurities (related substances) was not clearly determined. So the API method was modifiedby using low-pressure gradient UV-HPLCfor accurate detection of ibutilide and its related impurities. The inference of the drug, under various physio-chemical conditions like acid stress, base stress, heat stress, dark and light exposed, peroxide treated, dry heat are also studied. Chromatogram results of the developed method observed to be highly stable and sensitivity as it is able to clearly differentiate the excipient, related impurities and degradation product. Therefore the developed method can be used for the determination of assay and related substances of Ibutilide fumarate in Ibutilide Fumarate injection.

Biometric-based identification is an emerging technology that can solve many security problems. Now-a-days, biometric palmprint has received wide attention from researchers because it is growing biometric feature for personal recognition. Palmprint presents the advantages like low resolution image, line features are stable, capturing device is low cost, and user-friendly. In this paper, palmprint biometric recognition method is proposed based on probabilistic rough set. Probability similarity between two palmprint image features is used for identification. One of the main advantages of probabilistic rough set in data analysis is that it does not need any preliminary information about data. Palmprint matching is mainly based on the feature representation of palmprint image. However, the palmprint images are transformed into a set of features called eigenpalms. These eigenpalm features are used for further processing of eigenpalm matching using probability rough set. The eigenpalm features are extracted using Principle components analysis(PCA). In Probabilistic Similarity Based rough set, this work has used all the features to define the Probabilistic similarity. Experimental results illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed model in terms of the recognition rate.

Rivers have always been the people’s sources of livelihood throughout the world in one way or the other. Quarrying in the upper catchment areas of the rivers is one of the oldest primary economic activities that man has been practicing on the banks and beds of many rivers since long times. Like the other parts of the world, the livelihoods of the rural people of Assam living in the upper catchment areas of the river valleys, especially of those located adjacent to the rivers are to a large extent related to quarrying (extraction of sand, gravel, pebbles, riprap, construction aggregates, etc.). However, with the passage of time, quarrying has turned out to be one of the prominent sources of livelihood for that section of people. Noteworthy that, they started practicing quarry activities at a larger scale as soon as they started generating income out of it, due to which river bank erosion and several other problems have popped up meanwhile. This paper is, thus, an attempt to study the status and impacts of quarrying on the lives and livelihoods of the people of 2 No. Parbatipur village in Lakhimpur district, Assam located along the banks of the river Dikrong. The study has been carried out mostly using primary data and information collected through household survey using a well-structured questionnaire cum schedule and oral interviews among the villagers.

Cloud computing refers to the practice of storing, managing and processing data with the help of a network or remote servers hosted on the internet rather than a local server or a personal computer. Cloud computing offers flexible resources and economies of scale by delivering computing services such as storage, networking, databases, software, servers, analytics and more over the internet which can be said as ‘the cloud’. The main reason behind the shifting of traditional way business to cloud computing is with respect to cost, speed, productivity, performance and security. Moreover the security risks should be ensured while sharing the data and resources over the cloud, since there exists security threats such as malicious insiders, hijacking, human error, Distributed Denial of Service attacks and more. Hence, the security and privacy of the cloud should be made more significant by proposing improved techniques on cloud computing. One of the solution is obfuscation which is the most promising technique to prevent and protect the computer systems and networks from above said security threats. In general, obfuscation is the process of converting something difficult to understand using a specifically designed tool called obfuscator which converts the source code automatically in to a program that is much harder to read and understand but works the same way as the source program. This survey aims to enhance the security and privacy of cloud computing with a detailed learning of the obfuscation techniques which rescues the data from malicious attacks in an uncontrolled environment. A systemic review is done on the existing obfuscation techniques and a report is generated that results in the exploration of state of the art in techniques and the algorithms for software obfuscation.

This research aims to examineearthworm diversity in the region of the Nglanggeran ancientvolcano. Moreover, it also aims to observe the effects of environmental conditions (C/N ratio, soil pH, soil temperature, air temperature, air humidity, and soil moisture) on the diversity of earthworms (Oligochaeta) in the Nglanggeran volcano as well as to examine the potential of the diversity of earthworms (Oligochaeta) inthisvolcanic region as a resource inbiology learning material inhigh schools. The plotting method was used as the sampling method. The worms were collected using the hand-sorting method. The species diversity index of the earthworms was then calculated using the Shannon-Wiener formula and the determination of the effects of environmental abiotic conditions on the diversity index of the earthworms was acquired by processing the data usingthe regression analysis. Lastly, their potential to be used as a source in learning biology in high schools was analyzed. The species of earthworms found in the region of the Nglanggeran ancient Volcano are Eudriluseugeniae, Diplocardiasingularis, and Pheretimacalifornia. The species diversity index of the earthworms found in thisvolcanic region is low with a mean species diversity index (H') of earthworms ranging from 0.10 to 0.15. The lowest H’ is seen in sector 4 of study area IV with a value of 0.10. Only one of the environmental abiotic conditions,which is air temperature,does significantly influence the diversity index of the earthworms in thisvolcanic region. Other environmental abiotic conditions namely soil temperature, air humidity, soil moisture, soil pH, and C/N ratio do not significantly influence the diversity index of the earthworms in the Nglanggeran volcanicregion. The analysis of the prospective usage in schools suggests that the results of this study have the potential to be included as a part of biology learning materials in high schools.

With the advent of twenty-first century, the international politics witnessed a shift towards multi-polarization which is premised on a more equitable world order. Multilateralism became the cornerstone of this international system and it seeks to structure the relation between the emerging powers on one hand and also promote the structuring of the basic principles of regimes at the global level on the other. The process of globalization with its economic and regional integration necessitated the rapid growth of multilateral diplomacy at the regional level to fulfill its functions at that level. BRICS emerged as a concrete multilateral group and it seeks to reshape the contours of the international system as the states constituting it were denied a place in the hierarchy of global powers. India too engages with multilateral diplomacy in its foreign policy strategy through various forums including the BRICS. Thus the paper is divided into two parts in order to deal with this aspect of global governance of BRICS through multilateral diplomacy. The first part seeks to analyze the BRICS as an organization of the emerging nations in the region of Asia-Pacific and the prospects and challenges faced by it. In the second part of the paper the role of BRICS nation in determining the global geopolitics of the future and its role as an alternative forum of global governance. Multilateral diplomatic summits thus form an essential part of the architecture of global governance.

This paper attempts to examine the gender role attitude of Indian population. The gender role attitude scale consists of 35 items, covering three domains was given to 518 respondents belonging to five major Indian states. The selected states and union territory were Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Karnataka and Delhi NCR contributing 26.38% to total Indian population. Sample contains both male and female with vast age group of 18 to 60 years. The paper highlights certain interesting findings that majority of the respondents were found in transitional category of gender role attitude. The further outcomes of the analysis reveal that men were having more traditional gender role attitude than women. This gender role attitudinal gap was expected as Indian society is very traditional and patriarchal in nature. Among all the three factors male respondents were found more traditional about paid and unpaid work roles than any other factors. Hypotheses testing suggested that among all the predictors of gender role attitude age, gender and religion were found the strongest and education and occupation were found weakest. Further studies can be done in similar Asian countries by incorporating other predictors.

In modern multi-speciality hospital the need for sorting out patients in a queue and optimising the time in the entry stage is an essential activity. This activity can do quick and effective treatment to the patients. At present, the queuing system found in the hospital is chaotic and disorganised. This includes increased waiting time in queues, time delay for the patients and queue cutting by individuals due to unorganised queuing systems. This research work gives a solution to these problems by creating an Internet of Things (IoT) based environment in a multi-speciality hospital for initial data entry. IoT environment performs initial data entry of patients, functions of sorting out patient’s queue and sends them to general physicians for treatment and diagnosis in a neat manner. The use of IoT and machine learning devices help to streamline the current system by the use of a Cloud based medical History (CBMH) database. This helps to access error free data quickly and also eliminate the usage of phony data given by the individuals. Here the queue sorting is done by the IoT devices through the optimized study of different types of queuing methods such as the single server queue, multi-server parallel queue and On Demand queue. The various performance parameters like queue length, number of servers and service rate are analysed for the different queuing systems and the most efficient queuing method is selected for the current situation.

A failure to make security a priority while developing software invites intruders to perform malicious activities like money laundering, social engineering attack and loss of other important business information. Computer systems such as Servers, Workstations and even mobiles are vulnerable to attack from many avenues. A single severe vulnerability that allows intruders to get root access to the system is probably more crucial than several low severe vulnerabilities. A successful recognition of vulnerability plays an important role in lowering down the risk of attacks. For years, researchers and other institutions are working for the betterment of vulnerability scoring systems. Numerous security measures and tools are available which makes the software much harder for intruders. Meanwhile security breaches and risk is also rising, which doesn’t stop with the development of security techniques. Once vulnerability is detected, it is important to release a patch at the earliest before it makes any damage. Scoring systems like CVSS is used to produce numerical score of vulnerability reflecting its severity level. On the basis of evaluated score security team could assess the security situation of the system including host and network. CVSS uses three metric groups (Base, Temporal and Environmental) to calculate the severity of vulnerabilities. In this paper, we propose a mechanism IVSEV (Improved Vulnerability scoring system with ‘Environment representative’ and ‘Vulnerability type’) for the better assessment of vulnerabilities. The proposed IVSEV adds two new features ER “Environment Representative” & VT “Vulnerability type” into conventional CVSS-v2 base score equation.

Soil plays an important role in producing healthy crops. The chemical analysis method for recognising the soil contents for good yield is time consuming and complex. An alternative method using VNIR spectral reflectance of soil can make the task easier. In the present study samples of soil were taken from the state of Maharashtra, India. The ASD field spec 4 spectroradiometer is used to record the spectra of soils. Nine different transformations were performed on spectral reflectance for noise removal. The predictions carried out using correlation show that the first derivative of reflectance, logarithm of reflectance and reciprocal of logarithm of reflectance predicts sensitive wavelengths for SOM. The multiple linear regression models reached the coefficient of determination to 0.92. The optimal wavelengths for SOM were found using analysis of variance technique (ANOVA).

This article is entitled "The Ecotext of Batar in Tetun Fehan speakers, Timor, East Nusa Tenggara Province". The variety of the lexicon of batar is part of the treasure of local wisdom which needs to be studied for the continuity of the eternal ecology of batar. Ecolinguistic research has relevance to linguistics, exploring kinship between language and the environment because it has interaction, interrelation and interdependence. The lives of the people of TF depend on the natural environment because it realizes the origin of livelihoods that are always maintained and preserved between generations. Batar ritual is a traditional agricultural ritual which celebrates ancestral cultural heritage. This study aims: first, to analyze and find the form and category of the lingual text of batar; secondly, analyzing and discovering the influencing factors of the dynamics of the textual lexicon. This research uses ecolinguistic theory with three logical dimensions (ideological, biological, and sociological); supported by linguistic theory and cultural linguistic theory. The approach used is a qualitative descriptive approach that is quantitative naturalistic in nature. This research applies the field work method. The form of research uses the methods of participatory observation, interviews, and triangulation. The richness of the lexicon is the category of nouns, verbs, adjectives, and numerals. The implementation of the four dimensions of the modified product gives birth to a totality in dissecting the bathing ecolexicon in interdependence with batar ritual, namely the ideological dimension, the biological dimension, the sociological dimension and the ecoritual dimension. The results of the data analysis show that first, the lingual form is based on the data obtained, namely the single form lexicon,and the complex form. Second, the factors influencing the dynamics of understanding of the agricultural lexicon are the trust factor, the linguistic factor, and the TF factor.

The number of data will grow rapidly and showed a significant increase every day. This data comes from different resources and services that produce a big volume of data that need to manage and reuse or some analytical aspects of the data. These heterogeneous sources of information are able to lead to important challenges for calibration of the model, as the data is often possible to be imprecise, uncertain, ambiguous, and incomplete. Therefore, it needs big storages and this volume of makes operations such as analytical operations, process operations, retrieval operations real difficult and hugely time-consuming. One of the solutions to overcome these difficult problems is to have data summarized to make less storage and extremely shorter time to get processed and retrieved. Data summarization techniques aim than to produce the best quality of summaries. In this study, Rough Set (RS) is proposed to obtain the accuracy, effectiveness and appropriate summary result. However, RS can extract decision rules effectively from given datasets, two processes data discretization and finding reducts are required in order to generate decision rules based on the values. Both processes are known to be Non-Polynomials (NP) problem and are also related to the dimensionality reduction problem. To solve two problems, Genetic Algorithm (GA) is applied to search both the cut points for discretization and the reducts in order to discover the optimal rules. Moreover, the reduction and transformation of the data may shorten the running time, while also allowing the system to obtain more generalized results and improve the predictive accuracy. Therefore, this study proposes the hybrid approach of RS and GA to improve lack of the rough set to ensure of better result. Hybridization of the proposed method hybrid RS-GA is going to overcome the short come of data summarization method. In order to find the efficiency of the proposed work, the classification accuracy obtained using these methods are compared with the accuracy of the proposed hybrid approach. The ML methods were analyzed by comparing the prediction accuracy: Rough Set (RS), Naןve Bayes (NB), J48, Random Tree (RT) and Projective Adaptive Resonance Theory (PART). The finding shows that RS-GA approach achieved the highest prediction accuracy with 99.95% and produce the lowest error based on API values from Malaysia and Singapore respectively compared to the other ML methods. For that, it was proved that RS-GA is the best performance and the most significant method compared to other methods.

Data from the 2018 Bogor City Cooperative and SME Service, there are 814 cooperatives by the end of 2017, 472 active units, 342 inactive, or 42% inactive, of which only 156 cooperatives did Annual Meeting Member (RAT). The low number of active cooperatives and those who apply ICT because of the constraints and limitations of them; weak entrepreneurial board, capital, quality of human resources who have accounting knowledge and active participation of members. This study aims to examine the influence of entrepreneurship, capital, cooperative accounting, and member participation in cooperative success. The population of this study was 156 cooperatives recorded at the cooperative and SME offices in Bogor City in 2017. Determination of the research sample using purposive sampling technique (sampling criteria) so that 30 samples of active cooperatives were obtained, holding bookkeeping and holding annual member meetings (RAT) 3 years in a row. Data was obtained by distributing questionnaires to thirty cooperative managers. Data analysis techniques use multiple linear regression. The results of this study found that there were influences of aspects of capital, cooperative knowledge, and member participation on the level of success of cooperatives, while the entrepreneurial aspect had no effect on the success of cooperatives. Not an influential aspect is caused by the selection of respondents who only exist on the cooperative council so that the answers given are based on a managerial point of view so that the existing entrepreneurial aspects of the cooperative technical manager cannot be seen. Limitations of this study are the locus of research in the city of Bogor. The sample criteria are only active cooperatives, have compiled financial statements, and held RAT. Therefore, for further research it is advisable to add a research locus in all parts of Indonesia, expanding the sampling of research at the level of technical managers so that the entrepreneurial aspects in cooperatives can be known. Moreover, enter the factors of online business development that also affect the success of the cooperative. The variables chosen in the research and methodology used have succeeded in finding aspects of cooperative success through entrepreneurship.

Shopping was confined just to outdoor shopping few years ago when there were no websites for online shopping and no internet. But now Internet is available to everyone at fingertips with the advent of smartphones, tablets, laptops and even the cheaper rate to afford internet. This was the prime reason for the sudden booming of online shopping websites. Nowadays everyone loves online shopping. Everyone wishes to order products rather than buying directly from the shops. The primary thing a person will check before ordering the product is a review given by the customers who bought it already. It is becoming difficult for a user to go through various reviews of different products of a particular type and choose the best among them. Thus the need arises for the summarization of these reviews to the maximum extent possible, in order to make the user choose the best product from the whole lot. The process of minimizing the content of a given document without any loss in the meaning of the content is called as Text Summarization. It is grabbing attention of many NLP Researchers nowadays. Text Summarization is categorized based on Input type, Output type and Purpose. We will discuss in brief the various types of text summarization in detail in this paper. We propose seq2seq model for summarization. Its advanced version i.e LSTM is used along with the attention mechanism for increased accuracy. We used the latest word embedding model Conceptnet Numberbatch which is very much similar to GloVe but comparatively better than that. During classification we use 1D convolutional layer followed by max pooling layer, LSTM layer and then at the end by a fully connected layer.

Data collection methods using a scale that is the scale of servant leadership, organizational climate, job satisfaction and Organizational Citizenship Behavior. The Analysis data conducted using PLS (partial least square) where the process assisted with software smarPLS 3.0. The results of this study indicate job satisfaction significantly influences OCB. Servant leadership and organizational climate significantly influence job satisfaction. Servant leadership significantly influences OCB, however, organizational climate does not affect OCB. Servant leadership can influence OCB through job satisfaction or directly, while organizational climate can affect OCB indirectly so that it is through job satisfaction first. An employer gives positive contribution to the organization voluntarily, because they learn more the habits of his leader who serves as well as possible, and also personal positive perceptions about the quality of organizational life. The role of the two variables will be better if added with high job satisfaction because overall satisfaction with work will increase positive emotions for them and this is will give the impact for employees to encourage positive contributions such as helping colleagues, developing themselves and even involved to increase the organization voluntarily.

The mechanism for growth, spread and vegetation pattern formation is largely unknown and poorly understood. To improve understanding of this mechanism, a mathematical model consisting of two nonlinear partial differential equations for soil water balance (N) and plant biomass density variable (P) to investigate the dynamics of forest growth and vegetation pattern formation was developed. The methods used include Michaelis-Menten Kinetics for the rate of nutrients uptake by a cell or organism for growth and Continuous-Time Markov (CTM) method as a standardized methodology that describes plant metabolism responses to multiple resource inputs. This CTM technique was used to obtain a simple plant growth component by synthesizing the four resources (light, water and nutrients together with temperature). To linearize the nonlinear model formulated in order to explain the dynamics of the growth, spread and vegetation pattern formation of the forest, the Taylor Series Expansion method was applied. The linear stability analysis of homogeneous steady-state solutions provided a reliable predictor of the onset and nature of pattern formation in the reaction-diffusion systems. The results revealed that, stability conditions needed for pattern formation is possible provided that . Thus, the homogeneous plant equilibrium decreases with decreasing rainfall until plant become extinct. Based on this condition, the trace and determinant criteria for stability were obtained as and respectively. Again, as increases or decreases, also increases or decreases respectively irrespective of the values of the other parameters. This suggests that which is a surrogate for a dimensionless infiltration capacity prohibits pattern formation at high levels. Hence, one may therefore not expect vegetation patterns to exist in situations of high fertility level and rich water condition. However, this is not the case.

The present paper, based on the concept of intercorporate social responsibility, aims at investigating the role of corporation networks in green management and, in more general terms, in social and environmental responsibility behaviour. The general theoretical perspective from which we start is that of industrial and organizational psychology.The theoretical framework to which we refer is a triangulation of, on one side, the International literature on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Corporate Social Performance (CSP), which are ethical in nature, and, on the other, the International literature on externalities and industrial symbiosis, which are more business oriented, in the effort to integrate business and ethics. The paper, which is theoretical in nature, presents in its final section a case study relating to a project involving a consortium of 60 Italian organizations which exchange production externalities through an electronic platform to which they are all connected 24 hours a day. We have proposed to these organizations an action-research in the shape of appreciative inquiry intervention the present paper presents the main results of. The originality of the paper derives, in theoretical terms, from the concept of intercorporate social responsibility and from the application of the principles of industrial symbiosis at a Small and Medium Enterprise level, thanks to ICT support. In such a way, externalities may be seen along with an appreciative perspective which transforms them in a tool of organizational development.

One of the efforts made by the Indonesian government to improve environmental care behavior is by developing policies on Environmental Education (PLH) in schools and colleges. It is assumed that if knowledge about the environment increases, then caring behavior will also increase and will reduce environmental damage in the future. In the context of forming and developing environmental care behaviors, three elements will be needed, namely; (1) institutional factors, (2) education strategies, (3) knowledge and values. The Adiwiyata school program aims to create a caring and cultured school. Adiwiyata school implementation is based on three principles, namely; educative, participatory and sustainable. School is a strategic place to instill a clean culture, a culture that cares about the environment. Environmental education in schools is one of the applications of character education. Environmental education imparts character values to school citizens which include knowledge (cognitive), awareness or willingness (affective), and actions (psychomotor). The integration of environmental education into the adiwiyata school program can be carried out through the active participation of all components of the school with the habituation process so that it is expected that the development of behavior, attitudes from students to respect, love and care for the environment can become a daily habit.

The increase diffusion and circulation of wind energy to the conventional power system due to rapid growth of energy demand has led to consideration of different wind turbine generator technologies. It has been discovered that, a power system experiences inevitable changes in its dynamic behavior when connected with Direct Drive Synchronous Generator (DDSG). In cases of an unexpected loss of a power source or a huge load, the frequency of the power system decreases, which eventually leads to difference in speeds between grid and the interconnected wind generator. It is therefore necessary to use FACTS devices among other methods to advance the dynamic behavior for a convectional power structure. This paper therefore focusses on enhancing PMSG-based system transient during 3ph fault situations. Reference is made to the Critical clearing time (CCT) as an evidence for evaluating the transient state for the system. Under the studies of 14-bus test system of IEEE and in PSAT, the critical clearing time for power system integrated to PMSG-based power turbine is improved with a Thyristor Controlled Series Capacitor (TCSC). One synchronous generator in the test network was replaced at random with the PMSG-based wind power source, intended to produce an equivalent power. Time domain (TD) simulations are performed considering two study cases. Simulation results show that, the CCT of the system with TCSC is longer than the CCT of system without TCSC, which is an indication of transient stability improvement.

_The amount of power produced by PV module is highly dependent on the environmental and weather conditions, such as solar irradiance, and ambient temperature. It is important to maximize the amount of power that a module produces in accordance with the weather conditions. One of the methods used to get as much production as possible from a PV module, is the maximum power point tracking that changes the electrical parameters of the PV. In this research a maximum power point algorithm based on hybrid Adaptive Genetic Algorithm Radial Basis Function (AGA-RBF) is proposed. The RBF which has a simple architecture and good learning algorithm, is first optimized by an adaptive Genetic Algorithm so that it operates with an optimal spread parameter. The resulting RBF neural network is used to determine module reference voltage and current corresponding to its input irradiance and temperature, such that the PV module production is maximum. The reference outputs from the RBF NN, are used together with the actual output voltage and current of the PV to generate a switching signal for the converter duty cycle control. A Matlab /Simulink model was developed for simulations and validation using data collected from a solar station. The simulation results by using both the proposed MPPT, and Perturb and Observe (P &O) as the MPPT used in most of the inverters, proved that the new method is more accurate, and produces more power.

The connections between Literature and Cinema began with the birth of the 7th Art and since then one of the main dilemmas is to how to approach the paradox of adaptations. The written narrative must be seen as a point of departure but not as a measure of the quality of the film, which is a totally different artistic creation. In this universe of fluid boundaries, books and films must be seen as independent artistic forms, even if we have a process of adaptation or even if the endless and abandoned chimaera of fidelity is brought to this discussion.

Difficulties in implementing the policy with the performance assessment process not yet achieving objective results, and not fully influencing career advancement and increasing benefits from intermediary analysts. This research focuses on evaluating the policy implementation of intermediary analyst performance at the Directorate General of Ministry of Defense Indonesia (MDI). The sub focus of this study, namely: 1) intermediary analyst performance policy; 2) intermediate strategic internal analyst environment; 3) implementation of intermediary analyst assignments; and 4) results of intermediary analyst performance. Methodology: The study was conducted at the Directorate General of Ministry of Defense in Jakarta, Indonesia. This location was chosen because so far there has never been intensive and comprehensive research on the implementation of performance policies for Intermediary Analysts, where the observation, interview and documentation was carried out at the Directorate General of Ministry of Defense Jakarta, as an informant from Director General Ministry of Defense, assisted by 1 Secretary of Ministry of Defense General, 3 people Director, 2 Head of Division and 6 Intermediary Analysts. The evaluation models used are Context, Input, Process and Product (CIPP). The results: The policy aspects of intermediate analyst performance (context), state that most of them already know about the existence of assignment documents, so that in the implementation of intermediate analyst tasks oriented to the desired results. The internal strategic environment (input) is included in the category of level of implementation and availability or moderate achievement, this is due to the lack of facilities and infrastructure including office facilities and not having special staff in this case personnel to assist intermediate analysts. The implementation aspect of the assignment of intermediary analysts is quite good, meaning that the evaluation component includes the category of level of implementation and availability or moderate or moderate achievement, because intermediary analysts do not have basic tasks or routine tasks, so intermediary analysts work independently and look for their own activities. The aspect of the product performance analyst is quite good, meaning that the evaluation component includes the category of level of implementation and availability or moderate achievement, but there are still shortcomings in terms of career development systems still waiting for the queue for structural promotions. The results of the study using the CIPP Evaluation Model regarding the evaluation of the implementation of performance policies The Intermediary Analyst has concluded that overall the implementation of the performance policies of the Intermediary Analyst in all stages has not been effective.

The term ‘Multiculturalism’ has not been used only to describe culturally diverse society, but also to refer to a kind of policy that aims at protecting cultural diversity. The experience of the past five decades has underlined the need to accommodate cultural diversity in the public arena. Multiculturalism’s entry into the theoretical realm has helped many societies to solve the problems and conflicts on the basis of religion, language and ethnicity. Countries have made effort to protect the rights of the minorities in multicultural perspectives. India is an outstanding case for the study of multiculturalism. It is home to policies of legal pluralism in religious family law, territorial autonomy for several linguistic and tribal groups, as well as quotas in legislatures, government jobs and educational institutions for caste and tribal minorities. As a multicultural document Indian Constitution provides several provisions to protect the rights of minorities. Indian democracy is not consociational has adapted consociational devices for dealing with diverse conflicts within society. Therefore, an effort has been made here to study an overview of interface between Constitutional provisions and rights actually exercise by minorities in India and how multiculturalism impact on Indian democracy with reference to minority rights.

Shape-Based Image Retrieval (SBIR) is an image mining process which extracts images based on contents of the query image. SBIR is being used in several applications like medicine, digital libraries, biodiversity information systems, historical research, and crime prevention etc. Generally, SBIR is implemented using either local features (texture, color, intensity, etc.) or global features (edges, points, contours, shape, etc.). Computation of local features for image retrieval gives high precision but low performance; while computation using global features gives high performance by sacrificing precision. To overcome the limitation of local and global features, the proposed method uses hybrid technique. And to make SBIR faster, we tried towards adventure a GPU (graphics processing unit) to parallelize both feature extraction and the similarity matching process. Meanwhile GPUs have numerous processing units; we can apply enormous parallelism in both steps. In similarity matching process, locality sensitive hashing (LSH) is used to convert descriptors to bitsets, which is further used for similarity matching. To conclude, the proposed system has increased the accuracy, precision and retrieval performance as compared with other techniques.

Magnetic Resonance (MR) Imaging is a non-invasive imaging system utilized generally for clinical diagnosis. MR imaging scanner gathers information in the form of Fourier coefficients and are stored in k-space. There are numerous algorithms to under sample k-space data using compressive sensing (CS) and to reconstruct the image. The under sampling pattern plays a critical role in optimizing compressed sensing MR imaging. In CS the signals are sampled at a rate much lower than traditional sampling rate and violate Nyquist’s criteria. CS MR imaging will reduce acquisition time by capturing only few samples. In this paper k-space information is under sampled with random sampling and reconstructed using different algorithms which are compared qualitatively and quantitatively. In reconstruction of brain MR image, Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR), Structured Similarity Index Measure (SSIM) and Mean-Square-Error (MSE) values are the fault prediction parameters. Based on quality of the visual image and its statistical analysis of the MR images, the Total Variation (TV) norm performed well over the other algorithms.

Tulungagung District is one of the districts that has a very dynamic economic level, thus every year the number of population growth has increased. The addition of the population resulted in increased volume of movement between regions, thus increasing the volume of traffic on the roads. This occurs in almost all the main road segments in Tulungagung District, especially on roads that connect between the district capital and sub-district capitals (JKP-4) as well as connecting roads with community activity centers. The increase in the number of vehicle volumes also occurred in line with the increase in tourist sites in several points that spread throughout Tulungagung District. Therefore, widening the road at this time is very necessary, with the intention of reducing the impact of congestion and increasing the effectiveness of travel time. However, the limitations of the existing development budget have resulted in limited road widening work in the Tulungagung District section. Therefore, priority analysis of the road segments that will be widened earlier is necessary. The data analysis method used is Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) for answers from questionnaires distributed to 21 respondents who knew and were involved in allocating road widening funds in Tulungagung District. Based on the results of research and data analysis, it was found that the order of aspects as a priority consideration in determining the allocation of road widening funds in Tulungagung District is a Technical Aspect (C), Regional Development Aspects (A), Aspects of Benefit Value (D) and Aspects of Community Proposal (B), weighing respectively 0.369, 0.315, 0.246 and 0.070.

All other Major research issues in information retrieval are reviewed and developments in knowledge-based approaches [KBA] are analyzed. It is argued that although a light amount of effort has been done, the efficiency of this approach has yet to be demonstrated. It is recommended that statistical techniques and knowledge-based approaches should be viewed as complementary, rather than competitive. So in this Research work that Vector Space Model of information retrieval system [VSMIS] is used to guide searching for relevant document from Oromiffa text corpus. The model is selected since Vector space model is the widely used classic model of information retrieval system. The index file structure used is inverted index file structure and text document corpus is prepared by the researcher encompassing different news article and experiment is made by using 9(nine) different user information need queries. Various techniques of text pre-processing including tokenization, normalization, stop word removal and stemming are used for both document indexing and query text. The performance the system can be increased if stemming algorithm is improved, standard test corpus is used, and thesaurus is used to handle synonymy words in the language.

Data storage is a big challenge in front of industries and researchers when its growing enormously. Traditional data storage strategy was fulfilling the business needs till the data was in structured format. But now due to Internet of Things (IoT) compatible devices unstructured data is more than structured one. In such cases traditional data storage strategy won't work efficiently. Initially data storage devices used to store the data irrespective of its logical storage. It means the record was stored either in array format or block format. Such type of storage was not matching physical and logical structure. Logically, structured data is generated as an attribute of particular entity, but physically it gets stored in a sequential memory storage either as file or as memory block. Object Based Storage pattern(OBS) stores the data in the way object gets generated by the programmer and accordingly memory is allocated for that object. Object contains all the data related to that particular entity which makes it easy to retrieve it back. Current study includes comparative advantages, operations and study of different service providers of object-based storage. We also focused on the current need of object-based storage structure for big data analysis and cloud computing.

The growth of machining science has evolved over the years; its integrity is dependent on the aesthetics and material properties of finished products. The global trend of machining operations has been dependent on energy intensity and cost. This energy has also been linked with the surface roughness and integrity of the finished part. In developing countries like Nigeria where CNC machining is gradually finding its way into the manufacturing sector, it is appropriate at this time to evaluate the impact of surface roughness and surface integrity on machine component from CNC and conventional lathe. This research therefore aimed at investigating the surface roughness obtained during a Teflon turning operation on the CNC and the conventional machine tool. In this study arithmetical mean roughness value (Ra) was measured and recorded for both CNC machined part and conventional lathe at three different orientation and seven points on each orientation. It can be concluded that the surface roughness obtained at different orientation when turning Teflon on the CNC is smoother than that obtained with the conventional machine tool as the arithmetical mean roughness value (Ra) measured from all points at different orientation lower in CNC than conventional Lathe.

A large penetration of renewable electric generation sources causes an imbalance between supply and demand in power systems because their output is highly dependent on unpredictably varying parameters like weather and temperature. Although the power unbalances in the system caused by load disturbance or frequency fluctuation, can be partially recovered by inertia energy, maintaining the frequency deviation within the acceptable operating band is still a very tough problem. An LFC model of a hybrid smart microgrid with different renewable and non-renewable generations along with their constraints is presented. Also, a control Scheme for frequency disturbances using MPPT is proposed for a microgrid with Battery system, where both renewable and Non-renewable generation is harmonized to achieve a desired operational performance of the microgrid. A standard test model with a standalone microgrid with DG, BESs, wind farm and solar cells is simulated in Simulink to analyze the efficacy of the model. The Simulation shows that with MPPT and BESs, the load frequency and energy constraints can be regulated according to the power constraints on the grid. This enhances the system stability in the complex operation region even when the grid is using renewable resources and intermittent load disturbances.

Surya Inti Realty did not provide legal protection for buyers because the developer refuses to give responsibility for claims submitted by buyers related to the quality of buildings that are not suitable. This is because there was a unilateral cancellation clause, did not bear objects without defects, and there are exoneration clauses which are used as the basis for developers to reject accountability. The clause contradicts Article 1609 of the Civil Code, Article 35 paragraph (1) Government Regulation Number 29 of 2000 concerning Construction Services, and Article 18 of Law Number 18 Year 1999 concerning Consumer Protection, which causes the agreement not to meet the objective requirements of its legal requirements. the agreement, so that the agreement was null and void by law. Real Estate Development Companies are obliged to be firm and courageous to be responsible for goods and/or services that are traded in accordance with the provisions of the applicable legislation. Real Estate Development Company as a business actor must adjust the standard clause as stipulated in Article 18 of Act Number 18 of 1999 concerning Consumer Protection.

The thing that is symptomatic is the intertwining of transactions as well as buying and selling agreements that do not require direct face-to-face meetings, but this is only done through cyberspace, through technology through internet networks. So that there is ease in the transaction that is able to exceed the territorial boundaries of a country, which can be carried out by humans personally in a short time. This is something that is not initially thought by humans, but along with the times and the development of the human mindset in the field of technology causes it to be realized. This sale and purchase through internet media in practice raises several problems, for example buyers who are supposed to be responsible for paying the price of the product or service they buy, but not making payments or defaults. For parties who do not carry out their responsibilities in accordance with an agreed agreement, they can be sued by parties who feel disadvantaged to get compensation. In addition, there are also obstacles, in general obstacles such as mindset factors (community mindset), and culture, as well as obstacles specifically. The government has provided a legal umbrella in the form of laws, in order to provide protection for the community in dealing with buying and selling via the internet, even though the regulation is felt to be inadequate

A general notion about crime and its offences to others may lead to the understanding of murder, rape, theft, robbery, kidnapping, threatening, outlaw, extortion and dacoit. There is more danger in cyber-crime when it is compared and already discussed in the above line. The cyber-crime takes plays fully on the internet connection and with the network system. The internet connection has cyber space in network. It contains both good and bad information. But few people select the bad content and use the cyber space criminally. Since, the cyber-crime takes place in network space, and hence this article attempts to read the Meaning, Types, Causes and Protection of cyber-crime in nationwide theoretical frame work.

Rapid industrial sector growth looks forward to the upcoming communication technology of the fifth generation (5 G). The technology of Massive Multiple Input and Multiple Output (MIMO) has attained importance in the field of studies, This is one of the inevitable major components of the 5 G wireless tool. Due to the prospective benefit and its ability to send /receive information from various antennas at the same moment, the MIMO scheme is gradually being implemented in the field of communication.In 5G wireless communication systems, antenna arrays consisting of various elements became part of the normal setup.And such wireless communication systems are referred to as the MIMO scheme.By exploring redundancy across various transmissions and receiving channels, these array antennas can assist enhance the SNR. They also enable the spatial data in the scheme to be reused to enhance coverage. Multiple antennas, together with moment and frequency, use the spatial dimension without influencing system bandwidth demands.While the communication in general focuses on transmission multiplicity instead of traditional receiving multiplicity.Using the flat fading Rayleigh cha nnel, which can be applied when various transmitter antennas are used, the notion of orthogonal spacetime block coding is demonstrated. Here it is presumed that channel between various pairs of transmitter receiver antenna undergoes independent fading.5G can simultaneously serve multiple customers with high gain by providing different degrees of freedom (DOF). Increasing the system's Spectrum Efficiency (SE), Chanel Capacity (CC), Reliability, and SignaltoNoise Ratio (SNR).

Induction machines have become very widely used in industrial and domestic applications due to their robustness, low cost and high efficiency. The induction machines are using simple structure for delivering mechanical power from electrical power. The need for variable exact driving speed of some industrial machines implies the use of speed control methods of induction machines. We can control its speed by using scalar or vector control method. One of the methods in vector control is Conventional Direct torque control (CDTC). The drawbacks of CDTC are high torque ripples, high ripples in flux and poor dynamic response. To overcome these drawbacks, in this paper we proposed the improved CDTC using fuzzy logic controller called Fuzzy Direct Torque Control (FDTC). It uses the simple relations between speed, torque, flux, and voltage to generate control voltages of a machine. The results of proposed method are validated using MATLAB/Simulink software.

The precision of time, cost and quality of a project are very important in Construction 4.0 because these three pillars act as the main measurement of the project’s success which new indispensable technology like Building Information Modelling (BIM) is able to manage these pillars efficiently. As the technology is moving fast with the Industrial Revolution 4.0, the construction industry is facing more futuristic and complex design, material diversity, green building, smart home and so on, which makes it necessary for the construction players to transform conventional practices into digital and modern technology. However, the lack of skilled talent in BIM is a barrier to fully implement the BIM in the industry. Hence, this paper intends to review the initiatives that can be approached in preparing BIM skilled talents towards Construction 4.0 in propelling Malaysia into a technologically advanced nation. In conjunction with that, BIM education is seen to be very significant in preparing BIM skilled talents especially in enhancing their knowledge and skills in BIM. In addition, a comprehensive BIM training either in software application or on-job training should also be introduced in tertiary level education to expose the potential talents to the real job environment while increasing the awareness and interest in BIM. This study is noteworthy for the Malaysian construction industry to collaborate with the Ministry of Education in making a strategy for empowering the BIM skilled talent through the right BIM education and training.

Big data is a collection of data that are large in size and growing exponentially with respect to time. A time series is a sequence of monitored data over time. The various methods have been developed in the time series analysis. But the accurate prediction was not performed with minimum time. In order to improve the prediction accuracy with minimum time, an efficient Targeted Interactive Projection Pursuit Feature Selection based Quadratic Associative Data Classification (TIPPFS-QADC) technique is introduced. Initially, the TIPPFS-QADC technique collects a large volume of data from the big dataset. The TIPPFS-QADC technique comprises the two processes namely feature selection and classification. The TIPPFS-QADC technique uses Targeted Interactive Projection Pursuit for performing the feature selection in a time series database for reducing the prediction time and space complexity. Targeted Projection Pursuit is a statistical technique used to explore the space of projections through manipulating the Jaccard similarity between the features. After performing the feature selection, Quadratic Associative Data Classification is carried out to predict the future results of time series data. Quadratic Associative Classifier (QAC) is a supervised learning model that uses association rules to separate the two or more classes. Through performing the classification, the time series data prediction is carried out with superior accuracy and lesser time consumption. Experimental evaluation of proposed TIPPFS-QADC technique and existing methods are carried out using big dataset. The results observation clearly shows that the proposed TIPPFS-QADC technique obtains higher prediction accuracy and minimum false positive rate, prediction time and space complexity.

In modern power systems, demand for quality, reliable and secure electric power has led to many power utilities opting for grid interconnection. Despite many advantages of grid interconnections, low-frequency oscillations mainly inter-area mode oscillations are inherent in interconnected grids. If there is no proper mechanism in the system to damp out these power oscillations, they can cause power blackout. The conventional method commonly used for power oscillation damping is based on power system stabilizers (PSS). PSSs are very effective for local mode oscillations but has proven to be ineffective for inter-area mode oscillations especially in large interconnected system. Many power utilities employ Voltage Source Converter, High Voltage Direct Current links (VSC-HVDC) for electrical power transmission because of its many advantages, for example, the ability to rapidly control active power and reactive power independently with little need for compensation. With proper control, VSC-HVDC can improve inter-area mode oscillations damping on transmission level. In this paper, the design of VSC-HVDC together with its controllers is done in DIgSILENT simulation software. Modal analysis simulations were performed on a two-area four generator system with and without the VSC-HVDC system. The results illustrate that the use of the VSC-HVDC link as a tie-line improves system small signal stability.

Cloud computing originates with many features to serve users with resources, services and wide storage for data. If any kind of data is stored then it requires security, so security of data becomes significant issue in cloud. Over the time, this issue needs to be resolved for the security purpose. Due to the sharing of distributed resources through an insecure network in an open environment, cloud faces security issues therefore easy access of data is possible from anywhere. Existing work employed security using symmetric algorithm AES, which suffers with the issue of stolen of key while transmission. Performance of existing work is also not satisfying and is achieved in proposed work by decreasing delay time. Presented work achieved authentication, confidentiality and integrity to maintain security and privacy.

This paper present a new hybrid multi-focus image fusion methodology based mostly upon the algebraically multi-grid (AMG) and improved watershed algorithm. The watershed algorithm is easy and intuitive and perpetually turn out an entire division of the image however some time it turn out over segmentation and become sensitive to noise. This limitation is removed by improved watershed algorithmic program. In improved watershed methodology k- mean clustering is combined with watershed algorithm. That divide image into region. At the moment feature like texture, edge is extracted then apply relevant fusion rule multi-focus pictures are fused. The visual qualitative effectiveness of the presented fusion methodology is evaluated by compare it with existing approach. Within which planned approach is best than 12.4%.
