The existence of domestic helpers or commonly referred to as household assistants or also known as domestic workers is increasingly needed at this time. However, the increasing need for domestic workers is not followed by the policy of providing protection for domestic workers themselves. Even the existence of domestic workers tends to be underestimated and even leads to forms of exploitation. The number of cases affecting domestic workers shows that protection for domestic workers can no longer be postponed. Meanwhile in Indonesia the existence of Law No. 13 of 2003 concerning Labor is considered still not providing protection to domestic workers itself because the relationship between domestic workers and employers is not a work relationship as referred to in the Act. The employment relationship referred to in the Manpower Act is the relationship between employers and workers, while the Entrepreneur referred to in the Act is the person who runs the company. Therefore the employer in the household sector that makes a work agreement to do work with domestic workers cannot be categorized as an entrepreneur. Because the relationship between domestic workers and employers, does not include employment relations as regulated in the Manpower Act. The policies that regulate the protection of domestic workers are outlined in the Minister of Manpower Regulation (Permenker). Permanaker, which regulates the protection of domestic workers, is felt to be not good enough because in terms of legislation the position is weak, while in terms of material protection provided it seems only exists and has not specifically provided protection for domestic workers. On the other hand, the draft protection law for domestic workers that has been prepared since 2004, has not yet been discussed in the National Legislation Program. Therefore, it is time for the government as an Executive institution together with the DPR as a Legislative institution to be encouraged to truly realize the draft law on the protection of domestic workers into law.

A total of 120 respondents participated, of which 41 people were mid-level programmers, 27 respondents were high-level professionals (architects and project managers), and 52 persons were system administrators working in public organizations. In the study, OCAI methods, the methods of diagnosing the socio-psychological attitudes of the individual in the motivational and need-based field by О.F. Potemkina, the projective test "A man picking apples from a tree" were used. Differences in the value-motivational sphere of the individual, attitudes towards themselves, the company and its corporate culture among specialists in the field of information technology were found. Thus, middle-level programmers perceive corporate culture as bureaucratic and market-oriented, are motivated by the labor process, outcome, freedom, and the work itself. The world is perceived as a resource, one of the leading values is career growth. High-level programmers perceive the corporate culture of their IT companies as market and adhocratic, and are motivated to achieve results. The world is perceived as a resource, in need of technical transformation and a place for creative expression. System administrators are motivated by process, altruism and freedom, do not pay special attention to the features of corporate culture and perceive the world as a source of stability.

Guided discovery based learning is one of the instructional models suggested in the 2013 curriculum, as this learning is excellent in assisting the development of students' cognitive abilities. But in practice many teachers have difficulty to implement the learning. This condition is also experienced by teachers of mathematics, whereas of the eight objectives of mathematics learning contained in the curriculum of 2013 four of them related to the cognitive abilities of students. Difficulties occur because most teachers are already comfortable with conventional learning that is generally routine. Conventional learning usually begins with the giving of concepts by the teacher, giving examples of concepts, giving practice according to the next example providing a home task that is also similar to the example. In addition, learning-based learning tools based on discovery of guided learning for mathematics have not been developed. This paper presents guided learning-based mathematics learning materials for trigonometric materials for high school students of class X. This device is obtained through a development study using the Plomp model consisting of three stages: preliminary research stage, development stage and assessment stage. Based on all the steps that have been obtained, the learning tools based on the discovery of guided for trigonometric material for high school students of class X are valid, practical and effective.

This paper was aimed at identifying the captive attitude of Abdullah Munshi in his work and to analyse how the West came to recognise him as ‘The Father of Modern Malay Literature’. Abdullah Munshi’s courage in challenging the existing literary conventions and in introducing a Western style of writing to Malay audiences earned him this title. This recognition made him the most credible Malay literary figure from the perspective of the Western colonialists, especially with his first autobiographical work titled Hikayat Abdullah. His reputation continued to rise until several scholars began to dispute his credibility by arguing that he did not deserve to be recognised as such. Abdullah Munshi was labelled as an individual who was captivated by everything concerning his Western benefactors, as illustrated in his magnum opus. With this phenomenon in mind, this study applied the text analysis method to the first Malay autobiography, the Hikayat Abdullah, based on Syed Hussein Alatas’ concept of a captive character. The findings of the study revealed that Abdullah Munshi conformed to five criteria in this concept of a captive character, namely, a person who copies the activities of Westerners and regards them as beneficial; a person who is unable to raise new questions in life; a person who regards Western knowledge to be the best; a person who accepts the suggestions of Westerners without objection; and a person who thinks so highly of the West that he fails to realize that he himself has become a captive. This means that Abdullah Munshi was a person who was a captive of the West, as he himself revealed through his autobiography. To summarize, it can be proven that the recognition accorded to Abdullah Munshi as ‘The Father of Modern Malay Literature’, which led to the separation of Malay literature into two periods, was the best agenda by the West to ensure the relevance of their presence in the colonies, particularly in the Malay World.

Instagram is increasingly becoming popular among Indonesian consumers as a source of reference, thereby leading to the emergence of online influencers such as ‘celebrities’ and ‘celebgrams’. The research purpose is to study if characteristics of an influencer’s Instagram account affect the influencer’s opinion leadership as well as its consequences on the behavioral intention of Indonesian cosmetic product consumers. The study uses a quantitative survey conducted on 250 Instagram users who follow selected celebgrams or celebrities who endorse cosmetic products. A hypothesized model is built to analyze the antecedents and consequences of the opinion leadership of the two types of influencer. As for opinion leadership antecedents, both models show that originality of the Instagram account is crucial in building up the opinion leadership, while quality and quantity of the Instagram posts are not significant factors. Perceived uniqueness of the account seems to affect the opinion leadership only for celebrity accounts and not for the celebgrams’. Further, findings suggest that opinion leadership affect consumer behavioral intentions, namely intentions to interact, recommend, and follow advice. Finally, the account's perceived fit with personal interest is not affecting the relationship between opinion leadership and the intention to follow advice for both celebrity and celebgram. The findings suggest some important implications for cosmetic companies in utilizing opinion leaders as their promoters, and also for micro-influencers that are beauty gurus who wish to learn the important key factors to attract more Instagram followers and build their social media communities.

This research article looks at all the facets of employee relations over the years and its impact on firm’s productivity. The paper investigates literature on employee relations along with case studies and other related articles. It identifies positioning of consultations, collective bargaining and representational aspects of employee relations. The article finds that employee relations is different from what it was a decade ago. Trade unions in India have fallen on the wayside as companies prefer bargaining based on competition rather than negotiation, consultations and collective bargaining with unions. The changes in employee relations has mainly due to reference being the enterprise over industry. The rise of Micro, Small and Medium enterprises in Indian Tier-3 cities has given rise to importance shifting towards collective interests of employers in these organisations. This has resulted in employee relations becoming more relative to employers than employees in the last decade.

Infrastructure project has direct positive impact on the growth of nation and local economy of the country. Despite of this fact, infrastructure projects especially in the urban areas generates serious environmental nuisances for the surrounding communities and have unintentional adverse impact on their surrounding environment. These adverse impacts on the neighboring communities are known as social cost. Social cost is widely acknowledge but are rarely considered in design, planning or bid evaluation phases of construction projects in India. It is difficult to quantify in monetary terms but some attempts are made, which gives a very significant value of total social cost and is consumed by travel delay only. This paper focuses on the evaluation of significant percentage of travel delay cost associated with Pune Metro Infrastructure Project. A study is conducted for a span from PaudPhata to Nal Stop and Nal stop to Khandoba Chowk, where an attempt is made to quantify the social cost associated with travel delay for four wheelers and two wheelers only. The results shows that the traffic flowing from PaudPhata to Nal Stop and vice versa, had generate nearly up to 7.02% of social cost, whereas for the span from Nal Stop to Khandoba Chowk and vice versa have given value of 5.22 % to the total cost of construction for the estimated construction period of 3 years. This social cost is born by communities travelling through the study span, so to minimize the social cost some measures are to be taken.

The tendency of current criminal justice is that it favours more criminals. Meanwhile, crime victims receive less attention. As a result, the objective of sentencing is rendered ineffective. This study aims at 1) Describing the development of thoughts on the criminal justice system, 2) Formulating the idea of a criminal justice system which would give more attention and protection to the crime victims, and 3) Making an argumentation that a change in the orientation of a criminal justice system to the crime victims is a necessity. This research uses a normative approach. The research data used here are the secondary ones in the form of literature. The analysis uses induction-interpretation-conceptualization flow of thought. The results show that the tendency of the current criminal justice system is focused only on criminals. As the aggrieved party, the crime victims are forgotten instead. Such a sentencing system can never satisfy the victims, especially when the crime renders the victims at a personal disadvantage. The crime victims or their heirs deserve the rights to decide what sentence should be given to the criminals which can give benefits for the victims or their family such as indemnities. The idea of changing the orientation of criminal justice for crime victims, in essence, is to give law attention and protection to the victims. This is both realistic and rational. The objective is to actualize justice and expediency in law.

Routing protocols in Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs) has yielded optimistic results for a long time, but the conflicts begin when we start to focus on particular parameters of the algorithms, like packet delivery ratio, end-to-end delay, throughput, energy consumptions, etc. These factors are very crucial in an algorithm as these are the building blocks of the optimal solution. For example, if an algorithm has a satisfactory packet delivery ratio but the energy used/consumed by the nodes of MANETs is such high that is it not feasible to implement or beneficial to implement in a real-time issue, then the algorithm would not be a practical solution to the efficient routing problem. Ant colony optimization is a heuristic which has so far yielded results that are satisfactory compared to other nature-inspired heuristics. In this paper, we propose Ant Colony Optimization – Energy Efficient Routing Algorithm (ACO-EERA), an algorithm which has produced significantly good results in comparison with other algorithms. The algorithm implements a function which chooses less the nodes with low energy remaining and it reduces the loss of energy of packets being dropped. At the end of the research paper, we also compare our proposed algorithm with Ad-Hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV), for the factors such as Packet delivery ratio, End to End delay and total Energy consumption.

Nowadays the most common approach for heat transfer enhancement involves the use of rough surface. A surface can be created rough in number of paths like by using pins, inserting ribs or creating dimples on the surface. With air as working fluid the experiment will be carried out for laminar forced convection conditions. The motive behind the experiment is to find out the rate of heat transfer and air flow distribution on triangle and circular dimples plate with straggled and inline arrangements, and found outcomes are evaluated with flat surface. Dimples 0.64 cm in diameter and 0.30 cm deep on the flat surfaces to enhance the heat transfer rate. Outcomes shows that the rate of heat transfer for triangle dimple shape surface with staggered arrangement seems to have maximum value than the smooth and inline plate.

Design pattern detection is useful for a range of software comprehension and maintenance tasks. Current tools are limited to a combination of static and dynamic analysis, which can lead to inaccurate results for behavioral design patterns, which are intrinsically dynamic. This work proposes a technique to address these limitations by enabling the user to augment the automated analysis with their expert knowledge. This can be used to iteratively refine the results, removing any inaccurate patterns. The evaluation on JHotDraw indicates that the approach can yield significant improvement in accuracy from a relatively small amount of input from the user.

Agriculture is considered a critical sector in the world economy while the nature of the agricultural activities is mainly based on the risk, implying the need for more attention to risk management. In this regard, it is important to consider the role of educational programs and how farmers react to risk. The purpose of this survey research was to explore the role of extension services on strategies for coping with wheat production risks among farmers in Kermanshah province, Iran. The target research population consisted of all wheat producers in Kermanshah province who cultivated wheat in 2016-2017 (N=102000). A stratified random sampling method was used to select and interview 383 farmers in six districts of Kermanshah (n= 383). The reliability of different parts was estimated in a pilot study to be in the range of 0.73-0.94. The results highlighted 35 strategies that significantly influenced risk. Out of 35 adaptation strategies, the use of disinfected seeds was ranked the first among farm adaptive measures, while cooperative cultivation was ranked as the least frequently utilized. Despite the rather low use of the extension services by farmers, there was a positive significant relationship between the coping strategies and extension services. The results provide useful insights for researchers, extension agents, and farmers.

Ideally, an AC power supply should constantly provide a perfectly sinusoidal voltage signal at every customer location. Nowadays, many power electronic equipment are used in industry in seeking higher system reliability and efficiency, and more electronic or microprocessor controllers are used in power system to control AC/DC transmission lines or loads. Moreover, the importance of green energy such as wind and solar is continually growing in our societies not only due to environmental concerns but also to resolve the problem of access to electricity in rural areas. As a result of these issues, power quality problems especially generation of harmonics are on the rise in the distribution network. In electrical power system, harmonics have a number of undesirable effects on power system devices as well as on their operation. It therefore becomes imperative for power system engineers to analyze the penetration of harmonics from the various sources into the network which commonly is known as harmonic power flow evaluation. This paper proposed a novel fast hybrid frequency domain approach (FHA) to evaluate the steady state harmonic power flow with discrete harmonic frequency. The proposed method is applied to IEEE – 14 bus, IEEE New England 39 - bus, IEEE – 57 bus and IEEE 118 - bus power system respectively and compared with Newton – Raphson (NR) load flow method and Fast decoupled load flow method (FDLF) and the results validate the accuracy, robustness and authenticity of the proposed method..

Due to the increase in the complexity of the power system and the increase in electricity consumption. The power system no longer remains in equilibrium. In this paper, to restore the equilibrium in power system network, a proposal is made with the novel optimization technique to solve optimal load shedding problem by curtailing less amount of load at the optimal location and improving voltage profile. In this methodology, the risk of voltage instability and the critical buses are ranked based on NVSI. In this method, the NVSI constraint is used in the problem formulation in two ways: (a) New voltage stability index constraints added along with OPF formulation (b) Index is used in objective function formulation. The Modified Adaptive Harmony Search (MAHS) algorithm based on the improvisation of a musical tune approach is used to solve OLS strategies. The effectiveness of the proposed techniques is considered in terms of the location of load shedding and the amount of shedding. The effectiveness of the proposed method is tested on the standard IEEE-30 bus system. Simulation results show the minimum amount of load shedding using MAHS, while the NVSI provides an optimal load shedding location. By using this method, various power system blackouts can be prevented.

Awareness about hygiene conditions and vaccination are the highly beneficial techniques of preventing infection. Good hygiene conditions and only one dose of vaccine are not sufficient for permanent consequence hence booster programme are introduced. Diseases induced immunity has permanent effect whereas vaccine induced immunity has a temporary effect. A mathematical model has been proposed to study the influence of successive awareness policies for spread of swine flu infection. Basic reproduction number RBooster has been derived. It has been shown that the disease free equilibrium point is locally asymptotically stable, when RBooster<<1. Further, we have also observed that a unique endemic equilibrium point exists and is stable, when RBooster<>1. During numerical simulation, it has been pointed out that RBooster< ROnedose< RWithoutvaccine Rwithoutawareness i.e. booster vaccination programme are better than one-time vaccination programme. Sensitivity indices for basic reproduction number are measured to hint how the parameters should be managed to restrain severity and the level of the infection.

This paper proposed a data driven, machine learning traffic modelling approach for estimating required bandwidth during telecommunication planning for good quality service delivery. The multilayer perceptron was employed to estimate the offered traffic, a safety factor was incorporated to ensure smooth flow of traffic and a neutralisation factor for moderating under or over provisioning of the bandwidth resource. The offered traffic input lags were varied from 1 to 24. The training epoch values of 200, 500, and 1000 on one and two hidden layered networks were used. The learning algorithm was backpropagation with 0.1 learning rate and 0.9 momentum on logistic sigmoid activation function. The scheme was implemented in Visual Basic and compared with four existing statistically based bandwidth estimation formulae, using four categories of classified traffic of a residential network of a firm in Nigeria. The findings revealed that the proposed scheme gave the minimum cost function, loss rate, and the highest average utilisation on two of the traffic categories (the HOURLY_IN and of HOURLY_OUT), outperformed two of the existing models on the DAILY¬_IN traffic category and one of the existing models on the DAILY_OUT traffic set. The study recommended that the proposed scheme would serve more effectively toward enhancing internet management related tasks such as general resource capacity planning.

The main problems faced in efforts to enforce environmental law in developing countries are limited by legal awareness and legal compliance. Law enforcement must be carried out by considering the three integrated-comprehensive-holistic concept unions. Practically and hierarchically, enforcement of environmental regulations also needs to involve local governments in their implementation. Local government policies also need to support green and progressive policies in controlling the impacts caused by hazardous waste which results in anthropogenic aspects and environmental sustainability at the same time. This study highlights the input aspects of environmental policy in the context of hazardous waste, regulation and law enforcement by taking a case study in West Java, Indonesia. The findings reveal that licensing for the management of hazardous and toxic wastes is sought to build quality conditions that are environmentally friendly and human health so that legal arrangements regarding hazardous waste can lead to legal objectives to realize a sense of justice and balance for the company, society and the environment. This research practically suggests that the understanding of companies and the public about the norms of hazardous and toxic materials must be fully realized and policy support from the regional government must be carried out optimally as part of realizing sustainable development.

In general, most of the manufacturing industries use lathe machine, because of its applications in various fields of automotive, defense, missile technology and aerospace. The workpiece material used in these fields are owing high hardness and good physical properties. In this machining process extreme heat is generated, which interrupts the chip flow. In turn it effects the surface finish of the machined surfaces and also decreases the tool life. Tool temperature cause damages like wear resistance and reduction of mechanical resistance therefore efficient cooling strategies are used to minimize the cutting zone temperatures. Now-a-days demands increasing on machining new cooling techniques, among them closed internal cooling system can be an alternative to green environment. Application of Nano particle blended in cutting fluids reduces the cutting zone temperatures, increases tool life, material removal rate and surface finish. However, the existing literature shows that under same application thermophysical properties are improved from other fluids. In this paper, a concise study of operating and machining conditions of lathe machine under internal cooling system is made and observations from the literature survey are discussed.

The Portuguese were the lead explorers in maritime trading and colonization during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. They colonized many areas along the coasts of Brazil, Africa, India, Sri Lanka, China and the Far East. The colonial architecture of Portuguese reflects the cross-cultural aspects of both Portuguese culture and the local culture of the colonies. The Portuguese gained knowledge and experience as they travelled from one place to another but preserved their traditional building typology. The resultant architecture is an amalgamation of both traditional building prototype and the addition of local cultural influences to it. In India, the Portuguese left their mark in many cities through their religion, language, lifestyle, art and architecture. Indo-Portuguese architecture is a perfect example of the cross-cultural miscegenation of Portuguese culture and Indian culture. This paper aims at understanding the degree of cross-cultural composition in Indo Portuguese Architecture through case examples

Recent studies by epidemiology surveys on acquiring the potential of drug resistance among Staphylococcus aureus delineated that drug resistance is tremendously increasing due to the high rate of mutation in virulence genes of pathogens. Apart from the emergence of Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Vancomycin resistant cases also increased 170% within last one decade, indicating a need for continued surveillance and to search and develop prospective agent to treat drug resistant pathogens. Present study aimed to screen for novel antibiotic from Streptomyces sp., isolated from undisturbed areas. Alkaline to acidic range of soil samples from different part of Western Ghats regions in and around Coimbatore district of Tamil Nadu were collected and upon processing thirty different Streptomyces species with unique morphological features were identified. Antibiotic production against pathogenic, multidrug resistant Staphylococcus aureus (AR, CR, ChR, CdS, ER, GR, MR, OR, VR) isolated from suppurative wound swab used in the study along with a reference strain S. aureus MTCC740 (AR, CS, ChR, CdR, ER, GS, MR, OR, VS). By the primary screening for antibiotic production from thirty Streptomyces sp., maximum zone of inhibition of 27mm showing organism belonging to Streptomyces griseus, was identified and confirmed by 16S rDNA sequencing. Antibiotic was partially purified from the S. griseus and minimal bacteriocidal concentration (MBC) of antibiotic against test pathogens S. aureus MTCC740 and clinical pathogen recorded as 128µg/ml and 256µg/ml respectively. Minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) for S. aureus MTCC740 was confirmed as 8µg/ml and against the clinical isolate as 32µg/ml. Recorded MIC and MBC concentrations of novel antibiotics required to control the pathogens were comparatively lower than the antibiotics used in treatment at present. Thereby the study recommends the potential use of novel antibiotic purified from new strain of Streptomyces griseus as drug, after complete purification, characterization and toxicity assay as drug to treat emerging pan drug resistant clinical pathogens of S. aureus.

Most cities in Nigeria experience traffic congestions during peak periods because road transport remains the dominant mode of transportation in Nigeria. These congestions have the consequence of affecting the efficiency, reliability and safety of emergency vehicles in performing their duties which are vital for saving lives and reducing property losses. This paper presents a prototype of an intelligent RF based traffic control system for emergency vehicles that transmits using amplitude shift key modulation technique at a frequency of 433 MHz and maximum sensing distance of 65 meters. The system operates in two modes: normal and emergency sequences. Under normal sequence, the designed pass period per lane was 15 seconds and complete cycle is 45 seconds. Under an emergency sequence, the transmitted signal overrides the normal sequence of traffic because the microcontroller will run the interrupt service routine (ISR) or interrupt handler which will trigger the red light on all the lanes. The prototype constructed gave a sensing distance of 42.2 meters, pass period per lane of 12 seconds and a complete cycle period of 36 seconds.

Over the past few years, Green and Sustainable Buildings have gained a lot of prominence owing to the growing environmental concerns. Buildings have acquired a significant share in the overall energy usage and have also become a major source of CO2 emissions throughout its lifecycle. Construction of Green Buildings by incorporating various sustainable design parameters may be a tedious process, but integrating Building Information Modeling (BIM) in the design can make the procedure much simpler. In this study, the building performance of a Green Office Building is assessed in terms of sustainability using BIM. Similarly, performance analysis is carried out for a conventional building to explore the ecological advantages of erecting a Green Building. The analysis gave about 15% energy savings, 22.3% water usage savings and 21% carbon reductions in the Green Building compared to the Conventional Building. Also, an alternative for the Green Building Design is evaluated which showed 4.7% Energy Cost Savings and about 38.6% Reduction in CO2 emissions compared to the original design. So,with this method, different alternatives for the design are easily generated in the conceptual phase itself and therefore, decisions regarding the design are made easily. But this technique generates results which mainly focuses on the operation phase of a building with least attention given to material production and transportation stage. Also, there are chances of errors due to file transfer in different formats while carrying out the analysis in BIM.

Road Accidents, a very common reason of tragic deaths and many times the victim dies due to non-reporting of such accidents to the proper authority. Since the accident was not reported the lack of emergency medical care results in death. We live in an era of technology where we are moving towards making the city, A Smart City. A smart city with smart AI based traffic monitoring and reporting mechanism can help providing medical emergencies in real time and this would result in saving lots of life. Traditional Traffic systems are equipped with IP cameras and sensors, and are already installed in most part of the city to monitor and control traffic. These systems are able to generate traffic tickets automatically. In this paper we are proposing a more advanced traffic monitoring system which can identify and detect moving objects such are cars, bikes etc in live camera feeds and detect collision of these moving objects and immediately send emergency alerts to the nearby authority for them to take necessary actions.

Unimodal biometric framework has pulled in different analysts and made incredible progress. Unimodal framework alone will be unable to meet the expanding prerequisite of high precision in the present biometric framework. Single biometric frameworks experience the ill effects of numerous difficulties, for example, loud information, non-all inclusiveness and satire assaults. Multimodal biometric frameworks can illuminate these confinements successfully by utilizing at least two individual modalities. In this strategy combination of iris, fingerprint and face qualities are utilized with the end goal to enhance the exact security of the framework and to recognize the human. The principle intention is to investigate whether the combination of iris, fingerprint and face biometric can accomplish execution that may not be conceivable utilizing a solitary biometric technology. The framework is connected at the coordinating score level, with different standardization and combination run the show. The individual coordinating scores produced in the wake of coordinating of question pictures with database pictures are passed to the combination module. Combination module performs score standardization and combination of standardized scores by weighted whole runs the show. Algorithms used for iris, fingerprint and face traits are Image Pre-Processing Step 1– Image Denoising (Restoration) 2d Hybrid Bilateral Filter, Image Enhancement Using Wavelet Transform And Short Time Fourier Transform (Hybrid Transformation) and Face Recognition Using Pca Eigen Matrix Principle. Coordinating various biometric characteristics enhances acknowledgment execution and lessens fake access. The proposed multimodal biometric framework conquers the impediments of individual biometric frameworks and furthermore meets the reaction time and in addition the precision pre-requisites.

In this research article a condensed planar monopole antenna is proposed for wireless sensor networks which operates at 2.4GHz ISM bands. The suggested antenna model is printed on a 16ן�½23ן�½0.8mm3 FR4 substrate with a dielectric constant �r=4.4. We have modeled different U shape slots in various directions on the rectangular patch. At every stage by inserting the slot, we observed the antenna tunes from 4.25 GHz to our required operating frequency 2.4GHz. Simulation results are observed in HFSS V15 and prototype antenna results are matched with the simulated one. In general, the smaller size patch antennas works at high frequencies but the proposed Inverted U shaped slots and the side slots helped to tune the antenna to lower resonance around 2.4GHz with better gain and return loss. Its smaller size makes it very useful for wireless sensor networks applications around 2.4 GHz frequencies.

Worker rights preferences are normatively coupled with the rights preceding the state. Countries with their authorities have the right to take precedence over other creditors after the company is declared bankrupt by a court decision. This fact in the perspective of justice for workers does not reflect the commitment as a welfare state that is functionally obliged to create the welfare of workers and their families as mandated by the constitution of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. workers are loaded with legal problems that lead to injustice. Certainty is the beginning of the birth of injustice. Therefore, it is necessary to do 'legal reform', especially the Civil Code in the hope that the regulation on the rights of workers/laborers after the bankruptcy decision has a clear and certainty orientation, not a false preference.

Erbium doped zinc borate glass system containing constant concentrations of M2+ oxides with the molar percentage of 10MO-(30-x)ZnO-60B2O3-(x)Er2O3 (where M = Ca, Sr & Ba and x=1, 2 & 3 mol %) were synthesized and characterized using various techniques like XRD, FTIR, optical absorption, photo-luminescence and decay curve analysis. The absorption spectra specified the ionic nature of the organized Er3+: MZB glass. The high spectral intensity values (ƒ) for the transitions 4I15/2→2H11/2 and 4I15/2→4G11/2 reveal the high site asymmetry around Er3+ ions. Broad & intense 1.53 μm infrared fluorescence for the transition 4I13/2→4I15/2 is observed at 379 nm. The green emissions in photo-luminescence spectra for 4I13/2→4I15/2 transition indicate strong quenching. The values of bandwidth (292 nm), stimulated cross section (5.3 cm2) and lifetime (1.65 ms) along with broad emission of 4I13/2 level in Er3+: MZB glasses suggest the present prepared glass system be potential beneficial candidate for high gain broad band amplifiers in WDM systems.

In order to study the effects of pineal removal on catfish (Heteropneustes fossilis) vertebral column, three groups of catfishes were formed.) Group-A was taken as control where normal fishes were placed. In Group-B, the surgery of pineal gland was performed i.e. pineal gland was removed and considered as pinealectomized group. Group-C fishes were pinealectominzed, administered with injections of 200mg melatonin dose/Fish. At the end of experimental period, growth abnormality in vertebral column and minerals contents in bones were measured. Results indicate that in pinealectomized group and melatonin received group fishes, the growth was reduced and hence lives weight gain values were obtained with negative sign. Results on vertebral column suggested that more curvature in spine was recorded in pinealectominzed fish. Whereas the fish which received melatonin dose the change in vertebral column was only slightly. Which indicates that melatonin is helpful to overcome the deficiency of mineral contents in bone.

National Property Information Centre (NAPIC), Malaysia recorded that for the first half year 2018 there was a decline about 37.8% on the residential stock especially for new planned supply and an increment of 18.2% on the overhang units. However, in Penang, it was estimated the demand to reach a total of 46,740 units due to the growing number of populations, formation of new households and the replacement of existing houses. Crucial housing challenge in Malaysia, especially in Penang is majorly related to a mismatch in demand and supply for affordable housing. The goal of this research is to predict a housing demand in Penang based on 4 categories of housing which is consist of low-cost, low-medium cost, medium cost, and high-cost houses based on household formation. The research used Census Data 2010 from the Department of Statistic Malaysia to determine the headship rate and will use the Headship Rate Method to obtain household formation. A questionnaire was designed and approved by the expert before distributed to 400 households. The households were choose based on five districts in Penang and the respondents or household were divided according to 14 levels of age group which are; (1) 15-19 years old; (2) 20-24 years old; (3) 25-29 years old; (4) 30-34 years old; (5) 35-39 years old; (6) 40-44 years old; (7) 45-49 years old; (8) 50-54 years old; (9) 55-59 years old; (10) 60-64 years old; (11) 65-69 years old; (12) 70-74 years old; (13) 75-79 years old and (14) 80 and above. Multinomial Logit analysis was carried out to determine the choice of probability on house type selection and to produce a Choice Probabilities (CP), Model. The result analysis showed that Medium Cost housing was the most preferable type of house with the highest CP value of 0.4875. This prediction can assist local authorities, developers, consultants, contractors to plan which type of housing to construct based on demand in the future.

Security is the most important theme which needs to be given uttermost importance. The MANET is more prone to security threats because of its dynamic nature. One of the attacks in MANET is the DDoS attack. DDoS attack is a type of attack in which certain nodes floods the target system by sending the packets with high speed resulting in the denial of services of the authorized users. In this paper, a novel scheme is proposed to deal with DDoS attack in the MANET. The proposed approach implements a choke packet technique to detect the malicious node i.e. the node which does not decrease its data transmission speed even after receiving the choke packet from the receiver end, is marked as a malicious node and also digital signature technique is used for verifying the malicious nodes. The simulation is performed on NS-2.

Data mining plays vital role in many fields. In medical field, the usage of data mining is getting increased day by day to predict the disease and classify its severity. Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is becoming major reason for sudden death, which is getting increased in the South Asian countries. Hence, there exist a need to predict CAD by utilizing the patients history by using data mining algorithms. In order to solve this issue, this paper proposes a core framework for finding the indicators and fixing the thresholds to classify the patterns in the dataset; it utilizes the feature based mechanism which integrate principal-component-analysis (PCA) and support-vector-machine (SVM) for productive detection of patterns in the dataset. In dataset multiple features may be available, where few or more features might not be used in classification, even if used it may reduce the classification accuracy. The proposed classification algorithm wisely eliminates the features that are not required for performing the classification by introducing the new features. The results shows that the proposed algorithm outperforms the existing algorithms with 97.34%.

More than 90% of dams in Indonesia are fill type dams (rocks and soil). Rockfill dam has better stability than the homogeneous soil dam. So that it is possible to be made leaner in volume. The disadvantage of rockfill dam lies in the core zone which functions as an impermeable zone. Fill type dam failures are usually caused by: seepage, piping, overtopping, hidraulic failure and structural failure. At the fill type dam seepage occupy the first ranks towards the risk of failure. Dam failure is statistically potentially large happened in the first 5 years since impounding. Geotechnical design and engineering is a major challenge due to the many influential factors. Rock fill dam with zonal core is a combination of various material properties. Geometry and drainage design will affect the seepage and phreatic line properties that occur. So it is not easy to make an analysis of seepage with these limitations. Based on the evaluation of the instrument since the impounding period of May 2014 to November 2018, data was obtained that seepage discharge was 648,864 liters/day. The discharge is still below the maximum allowable limit. So it can be assumed that the body of the Jatibarang dam is safe towards seepage that occurs.

Piecewise constant is a mathematical model that is often used to model data in various fields. Exponential multiplicative noise or exponential additive noise can be added in a constant piecewise model. This study aims to estimate a constant piecewise model that has exponential additive noise. The estimation of the constant piecewise model is carried out in the Bayesian framework. The prior distribution for the number of constant models, the location of the change in the constant model, the height of the constant model, and the noise variance selected. This prior distribution is combined with the probability function of the data to get the posterior distribution. The Bayes estimator for the number of constant models, the location of the change in the constant model, the height of the constant model, and the noise variance are estimated based on the posterior distribution. The Bayes estimator cannot be formulated explicitly because the number of constant models is a parameter. The reversible jump method of the Monte Carlo Markov Chain (MCMC) is proposed to determine the Bayes estimator. This study resulted in estimating the parameters of a constant piecewise model with exponential additive noise. This method can be used to estimate a constant piecewise model that has exponential noise even though the number of constant models is unknown.

The economists have long been intrigued with the evidence of empirical data’s macro-economic performance of the country are closely related with oil price shocks. India is one of the countries that is highly dependent on oil imports. The domestic consumption for oil products is rising year to year and since there is a decrease in oil prices over the years due to financial crises and oil shocks in the market. The nationals that are highly dependent on oil imports are hugely benefited as the economies of nations are growing at a faster phase. The study was undertaken in an Indian oil refinery, Mangalore Refinery Petrochemical Limited (MRPL). The paper considered crude oil prices as independent variable X and Stock market (BSE Sensex, Nifty 50), exchange Rate, inflation and GDP are taken as dependent variable. For this purpose, 10 years data is taken into consideration from January 2008 to January 2018. Hypothesis testing is done with the help of ANOVA using Regression, testing of hypotheses is done through F-test. The finding showed that crude oil prices has an impact on BSC Sensex Nifty 50 and inflation and no significant relationship with exchange rate and GDP of the country. The paper also suggest that India must move from using petroleum products to renewable resources as processing of crudes that has been imported has caused a lot of pollution worldwide. India and other countries must keep in mind that the resources of crude are depleting. Thus, these are fluctuations in crude oil prices are having an impact on Indian Economy.

Teachers use tests, quizzes, assignments, labs, exams… to evaluate the students' learning. This assessment leads to grades which are vital to students, their parents and teachers. The ways the scores are combined are diverse and differ from one course to another and different ways of combination may result in different grade. What is precarious is to see that a method of aggregation can result in a failure of a student and another method produces a success for the same student. In this paper and based on the results in a semester course, I try to find the best weights that have to be allocated to the tests, the quizzes, assignments, labs and exams with a a mixed linear program that if were used, they would have maximized the number of successes. An immediate benefit is to implement those weights for the following semester the course is offered.

Increase in the price of crude oil and the release of harmful emissions from the automobiles force researchers to search for an alternative source of energy for fueling. Biodiesel production from plant seed have become a promising alternative fuels for diesel powered engines. The biodiesel was extracted from the mustard oil and it was blended with the diesel in the ratio of MB10 (10% Mustard Biodiesel, 90% diesel), MB20 (20% Mustard Biodiesel, 80% Diesel), and MB30 (30% Mustard oil, 70% Diesel), MB40 (40% Mustard Biodiesel, 60% Diesel), MB50 (50% Mustard Biodiesel, 50% Diesel). The blends were tested in a single cylinder, constant speed (1500 rpm) diesel engine with 15% of exhaust gas recirculation (EGR). The performance and emission characteristics were measured for various diesel blends. The results shows that the Brake thermal efficiency (BTE) was decreased about 3% to 4% as the specific fuel consumption is increased for all the blends. The smoke and CO emissions were found to be decreasing with increase in the blend, the maximum decrease of 35% and 53% was observed for MB50 blend of smoke and CO emissions respectively. The NOX emission was reduced about 40% because of the increase in the combustion temperature and pressure for M50 blend.

The duality of education aiming at knowledge and character is not anew in socialization (Shoshani, 2018) and manifests fundamental initiative to prepare students for increasingly complex challenges in Industrial Revolution 4.0. In the character-end of the continuum, Indonesian primary schools have integrated religiosity-based activities in curricular, co-curricular, and extracurricular areas, which is presumably apt to cope with the continuity and discontinuity of character development (Rutter, 1984). Regardless of robust roles of schools and teachers in character development (Arthur and See, 2011), the implementation of religiosity-based education has yet to be clear, thus calling for extensive investigation as to its current praxis as well as the rate of success. This study delved into the formulation and implementation of religiosity-based education in Indonesian primary schools through survey. The subjects were primary school teachers from numerous regions in Indonesia, involving teachers of different education backgrounds and teaching experiences. The data were put under descriptive analysis to portray how religiosity-based education is implemented across schools. The study has revealed that Indonesian schools have attempted to infuse religious character strengths through numerous measures. However, these are only evident at macro level, yet remains of peripheral emphasis within micro level, manifesting the pain of disconnection.

Next to cellulose, Lignin is the second most abundant plant based organic polymer in the world. Currently over 70 million of lignin is produced mainly through chemical pulping process. At present high amount of lignin use as inexpensive fuel or raw material to produce low added value products. The main aim of this study was investigation of potential of lignin to use as low cost, environmental friendly, high effective antioxidant for SBR based tire tread compound. Tread of a solid tire is degraded in static and dynamic conditions as it is exposed with the external environment. Oxygen is the principal environment factor, however, property deterioration are also supported by heat, light, humidity and radiation. Antioxidants hinder the oxidation of rubber and prevent property deterioration. Petroleum-based antioxidants are commonly used in tread compounds, though they have disadvantages like risk on health and adverse influence to environment. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the possibility of replacing conventional antioxidants with a bio-based substitute. Kraft lignin (KL) is a naturally abundant and cost competitive wood-derivative and possesses antioxidant properties with Phenolic functionality. Lignin was compared with two conventional antioxidants, namely, N-(1,3-dimethylbutyl)-N'-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine (6PPD) and sterically hindered styrenated phenol (SP). KL was varied from 2 to 3 phr at 0.5 phr intervals when it was used alone. When Lignin was combined with 6PPD and SP, each antioxidant was varied from 0 to 2 phr at 0.5 phr intervals, maintaining total loading at 2 phr. Mechanical Properties, Cure characteristics and other industrially important testing on rubber tread compound was investigated before and after thermo-oxidative aging. KL has reinforced the Vulcanizate, showing highest physical properties in tensile strength, tear strength, elongation at break, rebound resilience, hardness and abrasion resistance compared to Vulcanizate prepared incorporating commercially available antioxidants before the aging. After the aging cross linking density, abrasion resistance, rebound resilience and hardness have increased and other properties and their retentions have decreased in lignin alone than other Vulcanizate. Higher properties retention in tensile strength, tear strength, elongation at break and improvement in abrasion resistance except 6PPD and styrinated phenol alone show by Vulcanizate with lignin: 6PPD (1: 1) and lignin: Styrenated phenol (0.5: 1.5) ratios. Blend of KL and other antioxidants demonstrate better antioxidant effect than KL alone. The results obtained are shown that the KL exerts a stabilizing effect. Moreover KL blends with other selected antioxidants increased the stabilization effect.

Translation of participants realized in nouns greatly influences the integrity of the meaning that the source language wants to convey. In fact, with differences in language rules, the meaning of translation in the target language can be very different from the meaning in the source language. This can lead to a misunderstanding of a series of events. The purpose of this study was to find out in depth about the types of participants in translating participants from English to Indonesian on the subtitle of the film "The Conjuring 2: The Enfield Poltergeist". This study uses a systemic functional linguistics approach with content analysis method. The results of this study were dominated by the participant range with a total of 41 elements of nouns (23.4%), and actor participants with a total of 29 elements of nouns (16.6%).

This research aimed at assessing the current situation and challenges affecting the production of Kharif maize in East Champaran District. The research utilized focus group discussions and thorough literature review in assessing the production conditions and drawing recommendations. From the research, Kharif maize production is challenged by poor weed management that leaves the crop vulnerable to competitions for growth factors. Increasing drought frequencies and intensities were also noted to affect production. Waterlogging, due to relatively flat topography, was found to cause 60-80% maize yield loss when it occurs during critical growth periods. Pre-planting application, 1-2 weeks before planting, of readily soluble fertilizers such as DAP, urea, and MOP exposed the nutrients to early leaching before plants could establish proper roots. The losses were found to be aggravated by the broadcasting method of fertilizer application commonly practiced by the farmers in the region. Incidences of stalk borers were reported and could cause up to 95% of field yield loss if not controlled. Grain borer infestations at the stores could cause 10-25% of grain loss. High incidences of aflatoxin infection were also recorded. These challenges could be managed through prioritized research on key areas like drought, fertilizer use, pests and aflatoxin management) and improved agricultural extension services that offer training and dissemination of already available technologies and agronomic practices.

Marker–assisted backcross (MABC) is a breeding technique used to develop improved varieties by transferring a gene or QTL into the genome background of an elite variety after 2-3 generations. It is an advanced way of overcoming challenges facing conventional backcross methods as it speeds up the recurrent parent genome recovery (RPG). In order to develop a Fusarium wilt resistant watermelon variety, MABC was used to incorporate wilt resistant gene from the resistant inbred line CS-19 into the genome of the high yielding but wilt susceptible inbred line BL-14. There was estimation of RPG recovery in earlier generations with the use of polymorphic simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers. A total of 380 SSR markers were tested to identify polymorphism between the parents and 78 of them were found to be polymorphic. Background analysis revealed 74.7 – 94.4 and 86.6 – 96.8 % recovery in BC1F1 and BC2F1 generations, respectively. In the BC2F2 generation, RPG recovery ranged from 95.1 and 96.9 and the average in the selected lines was 96.14 %. This study led to the selection of plants that are similar to the recurrent parent and it showed the usefulness of MABC for the quick recovery of a parental genome in a backcrossing population.

The information exchange is one of the important aspects of a modern and improved life. Nowadays every component such as home appliances, vehicle, and grocery everything is equipped with sensors or RFID, which are communicating with each other over Wi-Fi technology. The occupancy of the internet in day-to-day objects introduces the concept called the internet of things (IoT). The function of IoT is integral of wireless sensor network and sensors. The dense deployment of sensors in different objects and their intention to communicate over the internet creates a challenge of routing. Clustering is one of the proven methodologies for routing mechanism. The major constraints of existing protocols are consideration of less of sensor nodes, which is not true in real sense. Hence, the development of an algorithm by considering a dense amount of SN is a very critical challenge. In this paper, we have studied the existing routing schemes and proposed a new algorithm called Heterogeneous Fault- Tolerant Routing (HFTR) protocol, which ensures prolonglifetime of sensor network with better dead node ratio against the number of the electoral rounds.

nowadays, the online purchasing and advertising becomes massively increased due to the increase in utilization of internet services by the users. For the product sale and its quality description, the product’s customer review plays a significant role. Thus, the words and phrases with large size in a raw data is converted into numerical values based on the opinion prediction method. The fault prediction of the reviews and inappropriate recommendation of the best product to the users are the main challenging issues in recent days. To avoid these issues, an Enhanced Feature Specific Collaborative Filtering Model (EFCFM) is proposed for Aspect Opinion and Temporal Based Product Recommendation system. Initially, the raw data is preprocessed using stop word removal technique and the keywords from that preprocessed data is extracted using POS tagger which has both positive and negative polarity. The features of the keywords are extracted from the Senti-WordNet database, product property from the POS tagger and the reviews from the user ratings. Then the Enhanced Feature Specific Collaborative Filtering Model is used to calculate the product’s strength and weakness. Also it helps to predict the corresponding characteristics and its opinions. After that, the user query is also analyzed and finally, the opinion score based product recommendation is obtained. The proposed EFCFM technique is analyzed comparatively with other existing techniques with the metrics like precision, recall, f-measure, RMSE, and the MAE. The evaluation results show that the proposed EFCFM technique offers best product recommendations accurately to the users.

Internet has become easily accessible now days due to exponential growth of mobile and data networks. Smart phones have become easily accessible to a large number of people. This has made social networking an integral part of human life. People are sharing their comments and reviews on the forum or portal about their views and experiences. Even in taking the final decisions about the brand selections for best hotels, people are gradually depending on the previous online reviews. In such scenario, some companies may indulge themselves in generating the fake reviews with wrong intentions to create the positive or negative hype about the particular products. It may mislead the customers and decision makers. Several individual theories have been proposed by the researchers for fake review detection approaches, but effective integrated implementation is still underway. In this paper, some specific parameters are proposed to develop a robust model for identifying fake reviews and fake reviewers based on behavior matrix and past trust analysis. Although this work is specifically proposed for helping customers in selection of the best hotels by analyzing the previous online reviews, and help in concluding the right decision based on Location, Security, Price, Quality, Ambiance etc. Yet the something similar model may be designed after minor modifications for taking right decision in selecting the best colleges, best products etc.

Multicarrier Code Division Multiple Access is the most promising technique for high speed data transmission. However, the MC-CDMA signals are characterized by large peak to average power ratios (PAPR), which can reduce the system spectral efficiency. In this paper PAPR reduction of an MC-CDMA system using PTS technique is investigated by using whale optimization algorithm that uses pseudo random sequence for QPSK modulation techniques with different number of active users. Whale optimization algorithm optimizes the time delay and carrier frequency offset and thus minimizing the Inter Carrier Interference (ICI) from the carrier signal occurs. The results show that 64 bit QPSK shows better performance in case of Bit Error Rate, PAPR, spectral efficiency, and Carrier Frequency Offset for achieving high speed data transmission in MC-CDMA with PTS system.These all the results are taken for different modulation and the different channels.

Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs) are inherently wireless networks organized without pre-existing topology. MANETs are effectively deployed in different environments such as: Armed Forces, Disaster Management, Medical and other similar Integrated Applications. However, it is observed that newer challenges and applications come up in MANETs every short period of time. In large deployments MANETs can have a huge number of mobile nodes creating new problems. In order to overcome such challenges, clustering algorithms are invariably used which allow the structuring of network into group of entities or cluster. In each cluster there is a particular node acting as Cluster Head (CH). In a cluster individual node has different values for parameters like node mobility, degree of the node, identity or energy of node, etc. Clustering is s process, identifying the number of nodes to be grouped together and an associated cluster head. This process plays an indispensable role in enhancing network performance and resource management. In this paper, analysis of many existing clustering algorithms of MANETs to classify such as: Identity based, Mobility based, Topology based, Energy based, Weight based and artificial intelligence based clustering is done. Further features of clustering like definition, cost, advantages and disadvantages, review of existing techniques and their evaluation are also done. Suggestion for the best clustering scheme has also been put forth.

our project is on vehicles headlight system, currently there are many researches are going on in this field. We reviewed all current trends, researches and came with a solution of intelligent headlight system. We came up with the idea to reduce the accident occur due to the headlight deflection while driving in night as well as in bad condition roads and also due to wrong turn indication. So we developed the prototype of intelligent head light is a solution for above problem. The microcontroller is used to prepare a prototype model. Accelerometer and potentiometer is used to turn the headlight using micro servomotor in vertical and horizontal direction. The ultrasonic sensor detects the coming vehicle and automatically reduces the intensity of head light and also it sense the ditch’s present on road and inform to driver. The light dependent resister is used to vary the intensity of headlight based on external lighting conditions. Potentiometer is also used for automatic turning indication system .As a result the road accident will be reduced rapidly. It is possible to implement because the device is cheap in cost, easy to implement and it works automatically. Traditional headlamps cannot compensate the light beam on a curved and unconditional road at night time and automatic turning indication helps to reduce many accidents due the negligence of driver while turning.

Time Varying gear mesh stiffness (TVMS) provides important information about health of a geared system. The spalling created/ developed on gear profile causes change in Time Varying gear mesh stiffness behaviour of the system. In this paper the spalling is assumed in mid of the gear tooth profile anywhere from top of the tooth to the bottom of the tooth and then the effect of change in TVMS by changing in width and height of spall is calculated. The potential energy method is used for the above calculation. This study is done by keeping in mind the vibration behaviour change due to sudden change in gearmesh stiffness. The metrology of gear is used to do calculations. It is found that as the fault occurs near the tip it may give impulse due sharp change in mesh stiffness but as we go towards root side the variation of TVMS is found throughout the contact of teeth. So in all the position of spall may take some span in the dynamic behaviour. Firstly an analytical method is used to calculate stiffness & then the effect of change in stiffness is calculated by varying the geometry of spalling. This paper will help in fault finding of gear analytically and data may be useful for dynamic analysis.

Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) technique is used to retrieve relevant images from the Image database based on image content in the query image. Feature extraction is the key process in Content Based Image Retrieval. Many CBIR systems are being developed as in the way of feature extraction techniques used in them. Image features such as color, texture and shape are symbolized as a result of feature extraction. There are many ways to represent the image features. The choice of feature representation is depended on the nature of image database and the intended applications. This article is aimed to experiment how texture oriented feature representation acts upon in color images. Recent studies depict that texture is effectively signified by Local patterns. The well-known local patterns such as local binary pattern (LBP), local tri-directional pattern (LTP) and local neighborhood intensity pattern (LNP) are considered in this work. The relative efficiency of above-mentioned local patterns is compared in the retrieval of color images. Wang database is taken for the experimentation and the color images are considered as a grey scale image by combining three color planes into a single plane. The experimental results conclude that the relative retrieval efficiency of local patterns is not same for the retrieval of color images as in the retrieval of texture images.

Vehicle is one of the most valuable mode of transport human developed. This allows us to travel faster from point to point or different multiple destinations. But through years, population increase and congestion occurs on public road. The study proposes a different method of image processing – morphological feature extraction, KNN classifier and fuzzy logic on classification of common vehicular transport mainly found on the road namely bus, cars and motorcycle. The images were taken using a smartphone camera 8mp and 12 inches range from the 240 sample miniature vehicles. It is then processed using a laptop with MATLAB 2012 installed. The extracted feature is area and shows ranges of 42,000 to 57,000 for busses, 13,000 to 35,000 for cars and 4,000 to 13,000 for motorcycles. The data extracted were used for KNN classification for determining the vehicular type and for fuzzy logic decision making as the output is the degree of congestion which is dependent on the road area of the image taken and decision is converted to percentage (0-40% light, 41-70% moderate, 70-100% heavy). Input parameter is the number of area on a certain image which is rated as few (0-40%), moderate (41-70%), heavy (71-100%) for all vehicle samples. Consequently, the result of the study shows a great potential on vehicular congestion monitoring system using image processing, KNN and fuzzy logic algorithm used.

This paper presents a new algorithm called Fuzzy C-Mean Genetic Algorithm (FCMGA) to solve TSP which is used to calculate the minimum travelling cost in TSP. FCMGA is a combination of both Fuzzy C-Mean (FCM) and Genetic Algorithm (GA). The role of FCM and GA is different in this algorithm. FCM is used to find the membership values of each chromosome, whereas GA is used to apply mutation on the variables of those chromosomes. The proposed algorithm is very helpful to find nearly optimized solutions of these types of problems, in order to give the best solution of the problem with the reduction of cost. The algorithm (FCMGA) proposed here is tested with some examples and the experiment shows that the algorithm can achieve good results as compared with GA.

The user information has gained the higher interest as to communication has increased between the end users. The data manipulation has been the key aspect in the real time data exchange. The data increases exponentially hence the use of the storage location such as cloud or remote database has been developed. The storing and retrieving of the data has been challenged by the security threats. In this paper, for data transmission the use of the Routing protocol like AODV with the IDS technology and Slepian Wolf coding methods have been used for the data encoding and decoding. The dynamic multipath routing has been enabled to re-route in case of the attack. The system works under multiple scenario for the user need. In the attacking scenario, on detection of the honeypot node, the network is re-routed and repaired which results in achieving an optimal efficiency by adopting the Network Intrusion Detection System (NIDS) in the Trusted Network. The proposed concept of trace, repair or re-route has been a novel approach for secured and assured data manipulation in the cloud database.

The creation of a country’s wealth depends on the competitiveness of its entrepreneurs and that fundamentally relies on the survivability and capabilities of its small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). In order to survive, an SME firm must become ambidextrous, with the capability to manage the paradox in learning, innovation, and transformation in their limited condition, so that they can become more competitive and offer products or services that meet the market demand. To become ambidextrous, a company needs many resources. One way to acquire resources is through alliances. This study models the relationship between alliances formation and firm competitiveness as mediated by organizational ambidexterity using partial-leased squares modelling using data from 137 startups in Indonesia. The results showed that organizational ambidexterity has a full mediation effect in the relationship between alliances formation and firm competitiveness. This study argues that the choice of an appropriate partner that is manifested in the Alliances Formation has the main purpose to enable the start-up company to acquire resources to manage the paradox of management in learning, innovation, and decision for transformation. This ability will make them competitive and can design, produce, and market its products superior to those of its competitors.

The acoustical performance of duct with the variation of number of baffle plate, with and without of absorptive material, with and without effect of perforation, with the percentage variation of flow area. Transmission loss which is the main acoustic performance parameter is evaluated and determines the reduction in exhaust noise. This is performed in the 3D duct with empty, rock wool, glass wool. Different component are present in the duct for transmission loss like baffle plate, perforated baffle plate, absorptive material etc. by which noise is reduced. Transmission loss using sound absorption material is the main feature. With all combination the rock wool is best in all frequency range but in some frequency range empty duct is best so if we are working in this frequency range the empty duct has maximum transmission loss. Transmission loss of empty duct with all combination has not much change in the performance. But in the certain range of frequency transmission loss increasing very rapidly but also slope of curve very steep so if we are working before that then empty duct with 15% single baffle plate has transmission loss 50 dB. Finally rock wool has maximum transmission loss i.e 65dB in 5% perforation with single baffle plate if we go with same perforation rate i.e 5% with double baffle plate the best combination is 5% perforation and single baffle plate. If we are working at constant frequency i.e 2700 Hz the performance of empty duct is good well but not good for variable frequency.

In the Philippines, rice grains have their distinct characteristics from each other variety in terms of quality and on how they plant. The quality and variety of different rice grains is usually determined by visual inspection and pure instincts, which is subjective, laborious, and prone to error. Due to this errors, many consumers were deceived by the retailers in buying pure quality rice. In result, a formulation of an alternative method with the help of the current technology to determine the different rice variety is conducted. This research was conducted with the objective of developing an appropriate computer routine algorithm that can characterize rice grains of different origins in different parts of the Philippines. Morphological analyses through image processing techniques were employed to automatically classify and determine the ranges of the parameters of the rice grain samples according to their variety. Important rice grain features based in morphology such as area of the grain, perimeter, equivalent diameter and percentage of roundness from 60 training images and 20 testing images were gathered and evaluated. Fuzzy Logic technique was conducted to classify the rice grain as well as the K Nearest Neighbor (KNN) that was employed to automatically categorize the variety of the rice grains. In conclusion, the results of this study have revealed that imaging technique with the aid of artificial intelligence could be used as an effective method to classify rice grain characteristics.

In this paper a miniature design for dual band antenna with integrated filtering realization for LTE-A (long term evolution advanced) system is presented. In the proposed investigation the ground plane and patch are defected by cutting different slots with different dimensions. Different shapes of slots are cut to get appropriate lower band (1880- 1920 MHz) and higher band (2570 to 2620 MHz) for which return loss is less than -10 dB. This slotted patch antenna employed for dual band operation provides satisfying filtering performance without using any extra filtering circuits. The antenna is designed to fit the specification of LTE –A bands (B38 and B39 bands). The proposed antenna offers improved radiation characteristics with good omni-directional patterns at both sampling frequencies in the E-plane (yz-plane) and the H-plane (xy-plane).These patterns are appropriate for application in most of the wireless communication like LTE and LTE-A. Gain of antenna is increased with frequency. Gain of lower band frequency is approximately -4.5db and 1.5 db for upper band frequency. The integration of the filter and the antenna leads to a reduction of size and weight.

In Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET), a mobility of the nodes may impact the node capacity and delay during transmitting the data from source to the destination in the network. To avoid this, Multi-criteria Enhanced Optimal Capacity-Delay Tradeoff (MEOCDT) was proposed with Time-limited Neighbor Detector using Multi-criteria Node Rank metric that detects the neighbors and optimal paths for reliable forwarding node. Though this technique improves link stability and node reliability, the computational complexity was high. Hence in this paper, an Efficient Fuzzy-based Multi-constraint Multicast Routing (EFM2R) method is proposed with MEOCDT to reduce the computational complexity of optimal node selection. The major objective of this technique is to solve the uncertainty issues in the consideration of multiple network metrics such as delay, bandwidth, Link Stability Factor (LSF) and residual energy. In this technique, the fuzzy logic method is proposed to convert the considered network metrics as a single metric called fuzzy cost or communication cost. Then, the path with minimum fuzzy cost is selected as an optimal route to transmit the data from the source to the destination node in the network with reduced delay. Finally, the simulation results show the performance effectiveness of the proposed technique compared to the existing technique in terms of throughput, routing overhead, delay, packet delivery ratio.

The prediction analysis is applied for predicting future possibilities based on the current information. Prediction for future possibilities has been made feasible following three major steps named as pre-processing, feature extraction and classification, in today’s perspective. My research exhibits the work in two stages to increase the accuracy of prediction regarding cardiac issues. Whereas in the first stage, a novel method was proposed in which factors like pulse rate, cholesterol etc. are included along with the age of patient as compared to the previous research study in which only age was taken as a primary attribute for prediction. The primitive attributes are changed in the proposed study for better predictions to receive facts as compared to the older technique. In stage second, a new and efficient hybrid classification model was designed, which is the combination of two different classification methods i.e. support vector machine and k-Nearest Neighbour. The support vector machine (SVM) will extract the features of the dataset and k-Nearest Neighbour classifier will generate the final classified result. The performance of the proposed model in terms of accuracy and execution time is higher as compared to existing method.

Given the important and strategic functions of immigration in the development of border areas, especially in maintaining the gate at the Cross Border Post, it is expected that the massive infrastructure development at the border can increase the visit of Malaysians to Entikong. Moreover, if Entikong is developed into a new tourist destination to boost the economy. This is a manifestation of the government's program to develop Indonesia from the periphery and make cross-border posts as Indonesia's proud front porch. In its implementation, it is necessary to identify risks that are the cause of project constraints. Even though an activity has been planned as well as possible, it still contains uncertainty that it will run fully as planned. For the types of risks that exist, qualitative assessment is needed to determine the probabilities and impacts of the risks. This is useful to determine the management and response to existing risks so as to minimize and avoid the impact of the risks that might occur. Risk analysis is crucial to do on every project so that the contractor is not wrong in making decisions in overcoming risks and has prepared the right strategy in dealing with risk.

Nowadays, timely completion of the project has become a crucial part in the construction industry. The responsibility of cities is to mobilize in order to improve housing circumstances in slums as a medium of meeting fundamental human needs. Slum areas are highly populated regions created without adequate planning and lacking the key elements of day to day life. The slum rehabilitation is a critical project for any contractor or owner. Generally, consistent delays in the project show up in the preplanning and initial stages of the construction projects, for example, getting the general plans, getting the license, permissions, various legal clearances and so on. The complete construction stage is the shaping phase of any project where numerous unforeseeable events could occur. Lack in determination of the delay factors in the slum transformation project would contribute to the project delays, schedule overrun and capital overruns. This study aims to recognize the possible challenges faced in the construction of a slum rehabilitation project. This study classifies delay factors of the project in different stages i.e., pre-planning and construction stage and proposing a better type of approach to overcome delay related challenges in slum rehabilitation construction project.

This research intends to carry out an intensive study to the public policy case for producing the strategy of banking policy formation after the monetary crisis. The methodology consists of qualitative research approach. In this research, the case study method is employed. The data are analyzed by using the interactive analysis moving ones from the data collecting, condensation, and performance, until the conclusion or verification. The result shows that the bad governance has led to unclear contract between the principal and the agent. This increases the transaction cost. The government (the principal) through the banking liberalization policy gives the big freedom to the banks (the agents) to carry out the business extensification without the support of strict supervision. This has caused the bad bank management was not detected and corrected by the central bank. In addition, the incentive structure in allocating resources does not stimulate the bank obedience to the given formal rules.

Construction activities result in various types of hazards and discomforts at the time of operation. These problems may seem quite low in comparison with the benefits of any project, but economically they affect the environment around the site. This, in monetary terms, is known as social cost, often not taken into account while evaluating the total cost of the project. Of many different parameters for social cost, Noise pollution due to construction activity is identified as one of the few major threats to the environment surrounding the site of construction. Any Construction project benefits the society as a whole. Yet the problems of Noise due to its construction activity are faced by a very small part of the society, under-influence population. This study is focused on the evaluation of Noise levels due to Metro Construction project, evaluating area under influence and population under influence of Noise. This data is a requirement in evaluating the social cost with the help of Contingent valuation technique. The study gives the framework in evaluating the Noise levels and incurred social cost due to Metro Infrastructure construction project. The site taken for the survey was Nal square to Paud Phata of Pune Metro Reach 2. Noise levels are evaluated for equivalent values of noise at equal intervals for various hours. The day-time Noise levels were evaluated which were found to be as high as Leq 80-85dB (A), equivalent to sensitive to human hearing. The Social cost accounted for about 0.29% that of the project cost from Paud Phata to Nal square with 0.015% increase in the project cost for every single rise of decibel.

Collagen is a major natural constituent of connective tissue and structural protein of any organ which has the applicability as biomaterial drug delivery system. Fish collagen has gained increasing interest as the alternative for mammalian counterpart. Collagen acts as regenerative biomaterial for treating burn infection. Burned tissue or skin gets easily infected because the skin has lost its ability to protect the underlying tissues from microorganisms .Gram-positive bacteria are some of the first to colonize burns, followed quickly by gram-negative. Two bacterial species, Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas areuginosa will be examined in depth in this work as they are two of the most prevalent infective agents. These two species have proven particularly difficult to treat because they possess a large number of virulence factors and antimicrobial resistance genes. A plant with multi-potent pharmaceutical activities offers better treatment option. The extracts made from Euphorbia hirta and Triphala can speed the healing process by stimulating blood flow to the skin. In the present research work fish collagen was extracted from scales and the molecular weight was determined. The plant extract were prepared and unified with collagen membrane. The antimicrobial activity of Euphorbia hirta coated collagen membrane was performed against wound causing pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa for eliminating burn infection along with wound healing property.

Mastery of the concept becomes the basis for use in the process of solving problems in science learning today, such as scientific literacy and 21st-century skills. However, generally mastery of concepts only revolves around solving scientific issues associated with the use of binocular formulas. Therefore, research is conducted that aims to obtain mastery profiles of binocular ideas through the implementation of a multi-representation approach. Qualitative descriptive research uses a sample of 26 students from a population of 142 students of class XI in one of the public high schools in Bandung. The researchers did randomsampling. The instruments used were in the form of tests and non-tests with the validity of 27.1% (valid) and reliability of 0.70 based on Rasch analysis. The data obtained were presented in the form of a percentage for each Competency Achievement Indicator (CAI), by grouping student answers into three categories namely Novice, Intermediate and Advance. Each type of answers gets a score for later converted to value and analysis with SPSS 23. The results show that the highest percentage is in CAI 1 (explaining binocular function) by 58% in the Intermediate category and 42% in the Advance category, while the lowest rate found in CAI 3 (drawing sketches of shadow formation by two convex lenses) which is equal to 4% in the Advance category. Besides, the average value of students in binocular concepts is 65.77, which indicates that the mastery of binocular concepts is still low. Some suggestions for improving the learning process are also elaborated.

Leadership practices influence the education system in any society. Integrity being a core value in leadership has a great effect on educational issues that influence people and their environmental interactions. The study examined influence of leadership integrity on provision of holistic training on student-teachers in public Primary Teachers Training Colleges (PTTCs).The study adopted a mixed methodology and an explanatory design. Out of a target population of 2061 participants, a sample size of 633 respondents ( 30% of two groups -student-teachers and lecturers and a total of 21 respondents of other groups drawn from the offices as whole independent units: principals, Deputy principals, BOM chairmen, Deans and the student-leaders) participated in the study. The study revealed that there is indeed lack of leadership integrity on provision of holistic training on student-teachers in the public PTTCs leading to the lack of inculcation of transparency and accountability skills into the graduates. This led to reduced ethics and poor performance on duty performances of the teacher-students. The study therefore recommended that the student-teachers be trained as teachers of integrity who would prepare pupils in the primary schools as conscious and cohesive national citizens capable of facing global challenges courageously.

This article discusses the message contained in the “Bumiku” (My Earth) movie. This movie was prepared by an 11-year-old teenager (Natasha Dematra) and won many awards at both the national and international level. Issue was appointed in this film to cover environmental issues such as geothermal energy, forest burning and deforestation, use of non-recyclable goods, increased exhaust gas and excessive use of electrical energy. This movie raised another issue, i.e. floods due to damaged forests, crop failure due to drought and unhealthy environment due to littering. This article used a narrative approach, which assumes the movie acts as a delivery media. All aspects of the film, from stories, dialogues and images can be converted into a series of words (narrative). The series of words can reflect the front stage of film’s contents, which merely outline facts or realities that develop in the community, possibly acting as a backstage that reflects important messages from the film or something more essential than mere facts. Bumiku offers cultural conservation through two important things; first, the need for enculturation of environmental awareness through the role of the character of agents of change, as exemplified by the figure of Heru, environmental volunteers who mobilized village women to practice recycling recycled goods into economically valuable crafts. Second, using traditional arts as a communication medium, namely Dances, Tabuh Lesung and Wayang Beber.

This paper aims at the development of real time process to track the sun position and maintain maximum efficiency using Arduino UNO and LabVIEW. The parameters such as voltage, current, light intensity of solar panel are acquired continuously. Voltage is measured by using voltage divider, current is measured by using acs712 and light dependent resistors(LDR) is used for capturing maximum light source and the acquired data are processed in Arduino and send to LabVIEW. Arduino compares the value of two LDRs which are placed in the opposite sides of the solar panel and accordingly sends signal to the stepper motor. The stepper motor rotates the solar panel to the maximum light source location sensed by LDR with better resolution than servomotor. In software development, the Graphical User Interface (GUI) is constructed by using LabVIEW. The tracking process of sun is made in both automatic mode and manual mode by using an external switch in the circuit. When the switch is in ON position, it is in the manual mode and vice versa. The automatic mode is governed by Arduino-stepper motor interface. In manual mode, the desired step angle is entered manually in Arduino or LabVIEW. The energy from the solar panel is stored in battery. That stored energy is used to supply the arduino board and also load.

The screw compressor is a favorable rotating displacement compressor with a screw-shaped piston. The primary components are male and female rotors that move towards each other while the volume between them and the housing reduces. In an industry, the compressors are one of the highest power consuming machines. Hence, to decrease the power consumption, the efficiencies of these machines need to be at the highest level at all operating conditions. There are different geometric and installation parameters of the screw compressor that influence screw compressor efficiency such as inlet and outlet ports, rotor size, lobe mixture, rotor length to diameter ratio, clearance and primarily rotor profile. There are very limited or no literature available with open access for the design of a screw rotor profile. This paper focuses on the initial steps to be followed during the design of screw rotor profile. Various curves have been used to generate rotor profile.

The main motive for introducing fault tolerance in VLSI circuits is yield enhancement, by increasing the percentage of fault free chips. In nm technologies, circuits are more and more sensitive to a variety of perturbations. Transient faults can take place in a processor as a result of electrical noise, and alpha particles. These faults are able to cause a program running on the processor to behave inconsistently, if they propagate and change the architectural state of the processor. These faults can occur in memory arrays, sequential elements or in the combinational logic in the processor. Protection against transient faults in combinational logic has not received much attention traditionally because combinational logic has a natural barrier stopping the propagation of the faults. This paper presents fault tolerance in VLSI circuits.

Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET) is a group of mobile nodes, each of which communicates over wireless channels. Wireless networks have perceived a detonation of attention from patrons in recent years due to their solicitations in mobile and peculiar communiquי. One of the foremost restraints in MANET is high prospect of letdown due to energy-exhausted nodes. So, if the path selected for communication has minimum battery life then the path breaks early and re-discovery of path occurs again which causes overheads in network. In this paper, an Energy Efficient Routing Protocol (EERP) has been proposed and evaluated. This protocol selects an energy rich path amongst alternative disjoint paths between a source and destination pair. EERP prevents unequal consumption of nodes’ energy. In other words, it felicitates the balanced energy consumption in order to minimize the breakages. As a result, probability of communication path breakage gets reduced. This approach also reduces routing overheads caused by frequent node failures during communication. Simulation results show that EERP reduces E2E delay 36%-38%, prolongs network lifetime 28%-33%, packet delivery ratio 18%-23%, minimizes energy consumption 26%-30% and reduces packet loss 32%-36%. All over EERP performs well as compare to its counterpart of EE-HRP, SEEC and MC-TRACE for all considered performance parameters over different network size.

The existence of women in the customary structure often has a position as a complement of males so that their existence is limited by the stigma and norms that apply to the society. The existence of women in customs in Buru Island became an idea of how women are placed on the social economic space based on the inteprestation of men as customary rulers. This research is a qualitative study aimed at describing the existence of women in the customs of Buru Island. The research location focuses on three indigenous villages namely Kayeli village, Kubalahin and Wasi with consideration of the existence and the existence of adat that is still preserved. The number of informant that will be interviewed as many as 30 people taken in purposive. The analytical techniques used to follow the concepts given by Miles and Huberman include data reduction, data presentation and withdrawal of conclusions. The results showed that the distinction between men and women occurred through the process of socialization, strengthening and the construction of socio-cultural, even through the power of tradition. Women with all abilities and limitations only placed on complementary positions on customary structures ruled by men even though women are given certain status and awards but remain in male domination.

This research aims to dissect the thought of Emile Durkheim on solidarity and mechanical organist associated with contestation in the development. Contestation became a staple as study objects that are dissected with a social fact, solidarity and the law. Framework of theory used include social facts to the frame that has the ability to compel an individual in a social symptom. The result of the research was going on against contestation elaboration of development in Indonesia that includes, in a social symptom that is external, contestation became a part of which is positive when the external nature of it has constructive functions for the purpose of development, solidarity became an important element in setting the Division of labor in society as well as social safety valve for the threat of a conflict, contestation is become a great power with the logical consequence will be stuck on the value of mechanical solidarity is very easy and gave rise to the conflict.

According to survey of India today, the present engineering education system, is now concluded to be insufficient to fulfil the current industrial market requirements. It is due to lack of required skill sets in the students. Talking about some engineering students, initially they anticipates some courses are difficult courses as an example, Electronics Engineering. Thus teaching such subjects becomes quite a challenging task for the teacher. Effective teaching learning of an engineering education mainly depends on theoretical and practical knowledge. As an example, Electronics Engineering includes logical and conceptual subjects in which things are to be imagined and visualized. Classroom teaching is provided through real papers, or books with additional web links, videos, or presentations, or static 3D model, simulations software helps up to some extent. Still there is need to develop some ICT based tools for conceptual understanding of the subject. Augmented Reality (AR) is one of the platforms to develop an ICT based tools. AR provides integration of both real and virtual world. Proposed system is developed using AR with which it is possible to find solutions to both the theoretical as well as practical approach by embossing the 4D images in the real world that include sound. Since high-end AR applications could be used on smart phones, Tablet PC’s etc., updated knowledge regarding the subjects can be easily made available for the students to understand the concept. This paper explores design and development of a novel and interactive ICT tool using AR. It include concept of AR Labs and AR classroom for engineering students. With this, AR Classroom which are virtual class room, will be available in student’s smart phone in the form of Mobile Application and AR Labs for lab experimentation will also be there whose output can be seen on Desktop or projector too.

Baturaja City is the capital of Ogan Komering Ulu Regency in South Sumatra Province. The transportation modeling study of Baturaja City was conducted by using the Visum Program of macrosimulation program to disclose the pattern of travel movements in Baturaja City and to find out the traffic loading as a reference for the development of further transportation infrastructure. In addition, alternative route choices with relatively closer distance and shorter travel time are also obtained. In this study, Baturaja City’s transportation model was modeled by using the Visum Program, whose modeling was based on a four-stage transportation model. The model reliability test resulted in the determinant coefficient (R2) of 0.965. This result stated that the result of the volume of traffic loading that was modeled using the Visum Program resembled the volume of loading of existing traffic conditions in the field. Then, after loading analysis with the Visum Program on several road sections and on the 5 existing bridges, it was found that the value of the degree of saturation obtained was not more than 1 for each road segment and bridge both in the existing condition and after the additional bridge was constructed which meant that the road sections and bridges were still able to accommodate the existing traffic load. In addition, with the construction of 2 additional bridges, there is a change in the flow of the 4 existing bridges. That means the construction of this additional bridge helps spread the traffic volume on existing bridges to the new bridges so that it helps reduce the traffic load and this greatly affects the condition of the traffic in Baturaja City.

This paper discusses a novel application of probabilistic models which can uncover a hidden sequence of states thereby helping us predict the transportation needs during time where people will travel in huge numbers. We advocate the application of Viterbi algorithm for serving our purpose. The Viterbi algorithm has been already applied in various domains with remarkable efficiency forcing us to think about its role in supporting development of robust prediction models for railway transport. Our paper enlightens the strength of Viterbi algorithm and how its efficiency is comparable to other prediction models which considers the standard factors only limiting their conclusive prediction power. The experimental results prove that our proposed strategy improves prediction accuracy significantly than other forecasting models.
