Titiek Hidayati , Akrom Akrom , Indri Nurasa , Erviana Erviana
Personal hygiene is one of the basic human needs and must be kept clean, including scalp and hair, eyes, nose, ears, nails of hands and feet, skin and overall body care. Health education on personal hygiene is still concern not only for healthy children but also for children with disabilities. One of the ways is with audiovisual methods. This study aimed to analyze the effect of health education on personal hygiene with audiovisual methods. The study design used was pre-experiment without a control group. The number of samples was 30 using total sampling technique. Knowledge of personal hygiene before health education (pre-test) was mostly insufficient category, after being given health education (post-test) mainly was in proper group. The pre-test attitude was in low category, and the post-test was still the same. Pre-test and post-test of behavior were mostly being practiced. Pre-test and post-test of self-efficacy were in low category. There was an influence of health education on personal hygiene with audiovisual methods on the level of knowledge in intellectually disabled children (p<0.05), but there was no effect on attitudes, behaviors, and self-efficacy in intellectually disabled children.

A framework for sentiment analysis in Arabic text

10.11591/ijeecs.v16.i3.pp1482-1489
Alaa Abdalqahar Jihad , Ahmed Subhi Abdalkafor
Over the last decade there has been an increase in number of E-mails or comments to a company via social media sites, to satisfy their customers, the company must take in to consideration these messages and comments and know whether the customers are satisfied with what the company offers or not. Several techniques have been proposed to analyze the sentiment of the comment writer. Dealing with the Arabic language is faced with many challenges, such as it is a morphologically rich language and how to return the word to its original root. In this paper the challenges of dealing with the Arabic language were reviewed and a framework was also established to analyze the comments in Arabic and classify it into positive, negative or neutral sentiment. The framework was trained and tested and then the con-clusions were drawn based on its work.

Multi-objective wind farm layout optimization using evolutionary computations

10.11591/ijaas.v8.i4.pp293-306
Chandra Shekar , M. R Shivakumar
The usage of fossil fuels is actually not good for living nature and in future, this limited source of energy will vanish. Therefore, we need to go with the clean and renewable source of energy such as wind power, solar energy etc. In this paper, we are concentrating in wind power through optimizing the wind turbine placement in wind farm. The area-of-convex hull, maximize ‘output power’ and minimum spanning tree distance are our main objective topics, due to their effect in wind farm design. An implementation of modified version of the wind turbine (WT) placement model is uses to estimate the yields of the (wind farm) WF layouts and for simplifying the behavior of wind field, in this paper we uses a simple wake approach. Moreover, to resolve the multi-objective problem here we proposed (Modified Genetic Algorithm) MGA, which is considerably better than the (Genetic Algorithm) GA and for evaluate the performance of MGA we use the multi-objective (EA) evolutionary algorithms such as; Genetic algorithm (GA) and SPEA2 and, produce different number of WT layouts. These methodologies are consider with various ‘problematic specific operators’ that are present in this paper.

Abdelhakim Idir , A. Ahriche , K. Khettab , Y. Bensafia , M. Kidouche
Real-time simulation (RT) is very useful for rapid prototyping of complex and expensive systems using the high performance of a multiprocessor system. It has many applications in the field of testing controllers and protection systems under real conditions. In this article, Real-time simulations results of sensorless control of permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) are presented. This simulator consists of two major subsystems, software with a Matlab / Simulink and hardware including FPGA boards for data acquisition, control boards and sensors. The two subsystems were coordinated together to achieve the simulation RT. To estimate the rotor position, a sliding mode observer (SMO) based on back emfs of the motor was implemented. The stability of the proposed method was verified using the concept of Lyapunov. A real-time system based on FPGA, is used for implementing and testing the algorithm for rotor position estimation based on back-emf tracking.

Dereje Mesfin , Tadiwos Gintamo
Asking patients what they think how they feel about the health service they have received is an important step towards improving the quality of care and, ensuring that local health services are meeting clients needs and expectations. Facility- based cross-sectional study was conducted from April 1-7, 2019 in randomly selected primary hospitals found in Guraghe zone. There were 266 randomly selected patients who attended the primary hospitals were participated in the study. Data was collected using a interviewer-administered structured questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS version 21. Multiple logistic regression analysis used to identify predictors of patient satisfaction. The overall of patient satisfaction level with the health service provided at the outpatient departments of the primary hospitals was 66.5% (95% C.I. 60.8%-72.2%). waiting time (AOR 3.65), informing patients about cause of illness (AOR, 2.46) and waiting area cleanliness (AOR 2.33) were among the significant predictors of patients satisfaction. Acknowledging the limitation of the cross-sectional study design findings of this study indicate that waiting time, telling the cause of illness, cleanliness of the waiting area are important predictors of patient satisfaction.

Proxy Re-Encryption in cloud using ALBC (adaptive lattice based cryptography)

10.11591/ijeecs.v16.i3.pp1455-1463
Chandrakala B M , S C Lingareddy
In recent days, data sharing has provided the flexibility to share the data, store the data, and perform operation on data virtually as well as cost effectively. Data sharing in cloud is one of the feature, which is being popular and widely accepted. However, the concern here is to ensure the data security and this has led the researcher to research in this area. To provide the security several Proxy re-encryption scheme has been introduced, however all these method lacks of efficiency. Hence In this paper, we propose a scheme known as ALBC (Adaptive Lattice Based Cryptography), this scheme follows the two phase i.e. encryption and Re-encryption. Encryption phase has few algorithms such as Key_Gen, Enc, Dec. Similarly ALBC Re-Enc has five algorithm i.e. Key_Gen, Key_ReGen,  Enc, Re-Enc, Dec. our algorithm not only provides the security but also solves the problem of RL(Ring-learning) with errors problems. In order to evaluate, our algorithm is compared with the existing model in terms of encryption time, decryption time, re-encryption time, key generation  and key regeneration by varying the various key size. When we observe the comparative analysis, it is observed that our algorithm outperforms the existing algorithm.

This study aims to test the hypothesis that classroom engagement mediates the relationship between students’ internal locus of control and academic procrastination. As many as 302 students from a private university between 18 to 26 years of age were recruited to respond to Internal-External Locus of control Scale, Classroom Engagement Inventory, and Academic Procrastination scale. Bootstrapping analyses were conducted by utilizing PROCESS Macro model 4 in SPSS software, and the results showed that the mediator variable fully mediates the link between the predictor and outcome variables. In other words, the direct effect of internal locus of control on academic procrastination was no longer significant when controlling for classroom engagement. Further discussion, implications and suggestions were presented at the end of the article.

Lock on missiles are a major threat to vital installations. Soft kill solutions against lock on incoming missiles such as deployment of active decoys can be very effective to war of threat. The weaknesses in onboard missile tracking radars can be gainfully used to increase the miss distance between target and the missile. The effect of geometrical positioning errors of two horn monopulse missile mounted radars has been analyzed in this paper. As so gain differences between the two horns can cause variations in the miss distance. This aspect has also been studied. The variation of miss distance with jammer power to signal ratio (J/S) is also presented. It can be seen that the miss distance is always midway between the target and the decoy. Random angular positioning errors of the missile radar have been analyzed and it is found that the miss distance increases with increase of angular errors.

Polymer insulators tend to fail because of the climatic and environmental conditions. The failure occurs when the surface of insulator is contaminated by sea salt or cement dust which lead to partial discharge (PD). Leakage currents will increase by PD that causes deterioration of insulation. To predict the insulation failures, an  adaptive neurofuzzy inference system (ANFIS) method using initial color detection processes are proposed to estimate the leakage currents based on the polymer insulator thermal images (infrared signature). In this study, the sodium chloride and kaolin are used as pollutants of the polymer insulator according to IEC 60507 standards. Then, the insulator is tested in the laboratory using AC high voltage applied at 18 kV where the temperature detection is controlled at 26° C and 70% RH (relative humidity). The percentage of colors (Red, Yellow, and Blue) from the thermal image is measured using the color detection method. Correspond to the color percentage, the ANFIS method predicts leakage currents from polymer insulators. Furthermore, this system interprets measured data from insulators that need to be categorized as Safe, Need Maintenance or Harmful. The final application of the system can be a non-contact tool to predict the polymer insulators used by technicians in the field.

10.11591/ijeecs.v16.i3.pp1508-1514
Chanintorn Jittawiriyanukoon
To secure a wealth of data traversing the computer network at your fingertips is compulsory. But when attack arises at various parts of the network it is difficult to protect, especially when each incident is investigated separately. Geography is a necessary construct in computer networks. The analytics of geography algorithms and metrics to curate insight from a security problem are a critical method of analysis for computer systems. A geography based representation is employed to highlight aspects (on a local and global level) of a security problem which are Eigenvalue, eccentricity, clustering coefficient and cliques. Network security model based on attack undirected geography (AUG) is familiarized. First, analysis based upon association rules is presented then the attack threshold value is set from AUG. The probability of an individual attack edge and associated network nodes are computed in order to quantify the security threat. The simulation is exploited to validate that results are effective.

Anxiety, stress, and depression are the three most common negative emotional constructs found in the elderly. Evidences available worldwide about how psychological problem could be resulted in mental disorder, and there is significant difference in the context of living in the nursing home and in community setting. This study aimed to determine the best predictor of anxiety, stress, and depression in elderly living in the nursing home, useful for future modification and intervention development. This cross-sectional study involved 145 elderly in a private nursing home in Surabaya, Indonesia. HARS, SPST-20, and GDS were used in data collection. Linear regression and one way ANOVA tests were used in data analysis (α<0.05). Results showed that mostly in old individuals, mild anxiety and stress, and undepressed state were found. Sensory problems and concentration difficulties were the best predictor of anxiety and stress respectively, which were accounted for 61.2% and 65.6% variances of anxiety and stress in nursing home residents respectively. Spirits, life energy, happiness, and feeling wonderful to be alive could not predict depression significantly. Feeling inferior to others is the best predictor of depression, which was accounted for 25.9% variance of depression in this population. Low self-esteem leads to depression in nursing home residents.
