Validitas Children Behavior Questionnaire (CBQ) di Penjaringan Jakarta Utara
Authors: Sasmita Nursakinah Oktaviana
Published: September 2018

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menganalisis tentang distribusi jawaban per item, reliabilitas dan validitas internal konsistensi dari Skala Children Behavior Questionnaire (CBQ) dari struktur temperamen data CBQ. Responden dalam penelitian ini, berjumlah 118 pengasuh anak (orang tua) yang berada di Penjaringan, Jakarta Utara. CBQ mempunyai tiga faktor, yaitu surgency (SR), negativve affectivity (NA) dan effortful control (EC). Walaupun, distribusi jawaban terbilang kurang memuaskan, tapi skala ini mempunyai internal konsistensi yang cukup. Reliabilitas untuk skala ini dikatakan cukup dengan validitas yang rendah. Ini mungkin berhubungan dengan kurangnya perhatian dari orang tua kepada anaknya. Faktor pendidikan dan ekonomi orang tua adalah hal yang penting dalam artikel ini. Namun, hal ini tidak dapat digeneralisasi karena sampel yang digunakan sedikit dan data yang digunakan hanya untuk seputar wilayah Jakarta Utara. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa terjemahan dari skala CBQ memerlukan untuk dikoreksi kembali untuk penelitian lebih lanjut.

Authors: Aditya Christian
Published: September 2018

This research focus on the process of creating the world of “Balloon” through low poly visual style in 3D CG animation using an alternative non-photorealistic rendering method that is both efficient and visually astonishing. Low poly are chosen as a visual style because it represent the spirit of courage to explore the world outside the film’s story. By using low poly visual style in most of the environment, it creates a unique contrast between the environment and the character. The character is made using a traditional high poly modeling for 3D character. Through variety of experiments with various pipeline, the chosen method is considered the best to accommodate the filmmaker needs in both production time and the visual result. In order to determine the best technique, the research is conducted by testing the render results of some environment scenes within the film. The writer also experimented using procedural materials in the design of the world to help speed up rendering of the compositing process, in order to achieve good visual quality in a shorter production time.

Un/re/production of Old Age inThe Taking of Deborah Logan
Authors: Kotwasińska Agnieszka
Published: September 2018

The article offers a re-examination of abjected femininity and old age through a close reading of The Taking of Deborah Logan (2015), a found footage horror movie centered on spectral possession. While to a large extent the movie replicates an infamous monstrous old woman trope, it also effectively questions typical Alzheimer's disease (AD) narratives, which tend to portray life with AD as a story of unmitigated loss and debility. In The Taking of Deborah Logan, potentially destabilizing moments occur when in the face of progressive loss of control, memory, and bodily functions, the main protagonist is momentarily experienced as resisting the dehumanisation and loss of agency conventionally associated with AD and possession alike. The aim of this article is thus three-fold. The first part sketches the processes through which possession narratives generate a highly ambivalent space for aging femininity in horror film, and how aging, disability, and AD intersect both in popular understanding and in film. In the second part, the author examines how The Taking of Deborah Logan, as a found footage horror, shapes a discussion about selfhood, agency, and monstrous embodiment. Finally, the author argues that it is through the concept of transaging that one can find ways to destabilise traditional understandings of old age, female embodiment, and AD, and offer new narratives that highlight monstrous, if ambivalent, agency.
Promises of Non/Living Monsters and Uncontainable Life
Authors: Radomska Marietta
Published: September 2018

In the Western cultural imaginaries the monstrous is defined – following Aristotelian categorisations – by its excess, deficiency or displacement of organic matter. These characteristics come to the fore in the field of bioart: a current in contemporary art that involves the use of biological materials (various kinds of soma: cells, tissues, organisms), and scientific procedures, technologies, protocols, and tools. Bioartistic projects and objects not only challenge the conventional ideas of embodiment and bodily boundaries, but also explore the relation between the living and non-living, organic and inorganic, human and nonhuman, as well as various thresholds of the living.

By looking at select bioartworks, this paper argues that the analysed projects offer a different ontology of life. More specifically, they expose life as uncontainable, that is, as a power of differentiation that traverses the divide between the living and non-living, organic and inorganic, human and nonhuman, and, ultimately, life and death. In this way, they draw attention to excess, processuality and multiplicity at the very core of life itself. Thus understood, life always already surpasses preconceived material and conceptual limits.

Finally, while taking Deleuzian feminisms and new materialism as its theoretical ground, the paper suggests that such a revision of the ontology of life may mobilise future conceptualisations of ethics that evade the anthropocentric logic dominant in the humanities and social sciences.
A Low Cost Vision-Based Road-Following System for Mobile Robots
Authors: Zhang Haojie , Hernandez David E. , Su Zhibao , Su Bo
Published: September 2018

Navigation is necessary for autonomous mobile robots that need to track the roads in outdoor environments. These functions could be achieved by fusing data from costly sensors, such as GPS/IMU, lasers and cameras. In this paper, we propose a novel method for road detection and road following without prior knowledge, which is more suitable with small single lane roads. The proposed system consists of a road detection system and road tracking system. A color-based road detector and a texture line detector are designed separately and fused to track the target in the road detection system. The top middle area of the road detection result is regarded as the road-following target and is delivered to the road tracking system for the robot. The road tracking system maps the tracking position in camera coordinates to position in world coordinates, which is used to calculate the control commands by the traditional tracking controllers. The robustness of the system is enhanced with the development of an Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF). The UKF estimates the best road borders from the measurement and presents a smooth road transition between frame to frame, especially in situations such as occlusion or discontinuous roads. The system is tested to achieve a recognition rate of about 98.7% under regular illumination conditions and with minimal road-following error within a variety of environments under various lighting conditions.
Lamellar MWW-Type Zeolites: Toward Elegant Nanoporous Materials
Authors: Schwanke Anderson , Pergher Sibele
Published: September 2018

This article provides an overview of nanoporous materials with MWW (Mobil twenty two) topology. It covers aspects of the synthesis of the MWW precursor and the tridimensional zeolite MCM-22 (Mobil Composition of Matter number 22) as well as their physicochemical properties, such as the Si/Al molar ratio, acidity, and morphology. In addition, it discusses the use of directing agents (SDAs) to obtain the different MWW-type materials reported so far. The traditional post-synthesis modifications to obtain MWW-type materials with hierarchical architectures, such as expanded, swelling, pillaring, and delaminating structures, are shown together with recent routes to obtain materials with more open structures. New routes for the direct synthesis of MWW-type materials with hierarchical pore architecture are also covered.
Cutting Performance of Microcrystalline, Nanocrystalline and Dual-Layer Composite Diamond Coated Tools in Drilling Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics
Authors: Zhang Jianguo , Yuan Yigao , Zhang Jinjiang
Published: September 2018

The drilling of carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) is a significant topic for the aircraft industry. However, CFRP are materials which are difficult to cut due to their unique properties. This paper studies tools with excellent cutting performance in machining CFRP. The microcrystalline diamond (MCD), nanocrystalline diamond (NCD), and dual-layer composite MCD/NCD coatings are deposited on Co-cemented tungsten carbide (WC-Co) drills. The morphology of MCD shows pyramidal grains and the NCD and MCD/NCD coatings present cauliflower-like morphology. The cutting performances of coated tools are checked in CFRP drilling tests by the drilling force and tool wear. According to the results, the dual-layer composite MCD/NCD coated tools present the best cutting performance with the lowest drilling force. Meanwhile, the MCD/NCD coated tools display high resistance to wear and adhesive strength.
Service-Oriented Cooperation Policies for Intelligent Ground Vehicles Approaching Intersections

Published: September 2018

With the coming of intelligent vehicles and vehicular communication, Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) of connected vehicles are emerging and now evolving to Cooperative-ITS (C-ITS), as service platforms for smart cities. Considering new service properties, the autonomous cooperation of such vehicles has exhibited novel QoS features that imply new requirements: guaranteeing the traffic efficiency of any emergent vehicle while trying to promote the throughput at an intersection. So, after analyzing the classic reservation-based cooperation mechanisms, new QoS-oriented cooperation methods and policies are studied in this work. Concretely, several models of related traffic objects we have proposed are firstly introduced briefly. Then, the scheduling policies of vehicles approaching an intersection have been presented, including three existing policies (FAFP-SV, FAFP-SQ, and HQEP-SV) and five new polices (FAFP-SQ-SV, FAFP-MQ, HWFP-SQ, HWFP-SQ-SV, HWFP-MQ). These policies combine two major factors: vehicular priority for scheduling and concurrency in traffics. The first one includes the vehicular arrival-time, priority mapped to QoS, and the weight of reserved vehicles on a lane etc. In addition, the second refers to schedule a platoon rather than single vehicle each time, or platoons on different lanes instead of one platoon on only one lane. All these policies have been implemented, and further, verified within the parameter-configurable traffic simulator QoS-CITS (v2.1) we designed and developed with C#. Abundant experiments have been conducted with configured typical traffic scenes, and experimental results show that HWFP-SQ-SV and HWFP-MQ can guarantee both the QoS of emergent vehicles and traffic throughput better than other six policies.
Quantifying the Effect of Different Urban Planning Strategies on Heat Stress for Current and Future Climates in the Agglomeration of The Hague (The Netherlands)
Authors: Koopmans Sytse , Ronda Reinder , Steeneveld Gert-Jan , Holtslag Albert , Klein Tank Albert
Published: September 2018

In the Netherlands, there will be an urgent need for additional housing by the year 2040, which mainly has to be realized within the existing built environment rather than in the spatial extension of cities. In this data-driven study, we investigated the effects of different urban planning strategies on heat stress for the current climate and future climate scenarios (year 2050) for the urban agglomeration of The Hague. Heat stress is here expressed as the number of days exceeding minimum temperatures of 20 °C in a year. Thereto, we applied a diagnostic equation to determine the daily maximum urban heat island based on routine meteorological observations and straightforward urban morphological properties including the sky-view factor and the vegetation fraction. Moreover, we utilized the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute’s (KNMI) climate scenarios to transform present-day meteorological hourly time series into the future time series. The urban planning strategies differ in replacing low- and mid-rise buildings with high-rise buildings (which reduces the sky-view factor), and constructing buildings on green areas (which reduces the vegetation fraction). We found that, in most cases, the vegetation fraction is a more critical parameter than the sky-view factor to minimize the extra heat stress incurred when densifying the neighbourhood. This means that an urban planning strategy consisting of high-rise buildings and preserved green areas is often the best solution. Still, climate change will have a larger impact on heat stress for the year 2050 than the imposed urban densification.

Published: September 2018

Despite extensive investigations over the past decade, the chemical basis of the extraordinary underwater adhesion properties of polydopamine (PDA) has remained not entirely understood. The bulk of evidence points to PDA wet adhesion as a complex process based on film deposition, and growth in which primary amine groups, besides catechol moieties, play a central role. However, the detailed interplay of chemical interactions underlying the dynamics of film formation has not yet been elucidated. Herein, we report the results of a series of experiments showing that coating formation from dopamine at pH 9.0 in carbonate buffer: (a) Requires high dopamine concentrations (>1 mM); (b) is due to species produced in the early stages of dopamine autoxidation; (c) is accelerated by equimolar amounts of periodate causing fast conversion to the o-quinone; and (d) is enhanced by the addition of hexamethylenediamine (HMDA) and other long chain aliphatic amines even at low dopamine concentrations (<1 mM). It is proposed that concentration-dependent PDA film formation reflects the competition between intermolecular amine-quinone condensation processes, leading to adhesive cross-linked oligomer structures, and the intramolecular cyclization route forming little adhesive 5,6-dihydroxyindole (DHI) units. Film growth would then be sustained by dopamine and other soluble species that can be adsorbed on the surface.

The performance of base-isolated steel structures having special moment frames is assessed. The archetypes, which are designed per ASCE/SEI 7–2016, are simulated in the Finite Element (FE) computational platform, OpenSees. Adopting nonlinear dynamic analyses using far-field ground motions, the performance of Drift-Sensitive Structural Components (DS-SC), and Drift-/Acceleration-Sensitive Non-Structural Components (DS/AS NSC) at slight, moderate, extensive, and collapse damage states are investigated. The effects of structural height, effective transformed period (Teff), response modification coefficient (RI), and isolation type on the performance of 26 archetypes mounted on Lead Rubber Bearings (LRBs) and Triple Concave Friction Pendulums (TCFPs) are evaluated. Computing 50-year probability of exceedance using the fragility curves and seismic hazard curves of the site, increasing Teff reduces the role of RI in the structural performance; variations in the height, as well as RI, do not affect the risk of damages to the AS-NSC; the risk of collapse is not sensitive to the variations of Teff. The TCFP systems represent superior performance than LRB systems in lower intensities. For longer periods and taller structures, the isolation type has less effect on the performance of NSC. Finally, the archetypes have less than 1% risk of collapse in 50 years; nevertheless, high-rise structures with RI = 2.0 have more than 10% probability of collapse given the maximum earthquake.

With underrepresentation of elderly patients with lung adenocarcinoma (LADC) in anti-PD-1/PD-L1 clinical trials, better understanding of the interplay of PD-L1 and tumor-associated immune cells (TAICs) could assist clinicians in stratifying these patients for immunotherapy. One hundred and one patients with LADCs, stratified by age, were included for analysis of PD-L1 expression and density of TAICs expressing CD4, CD8, and CD33, by using multiplex chromogenic immunohistochemistry (IHC) assays and automated digital quantification. The CD4+/CD8+ ratio was significantly higher in elderly patients. In patients <75 years, the density of CD4+, CD8+, and PD-L1 in TAICs showed a positive significant correlation with PD-L1 expression in tumor cells (TCs), while a lower correlation was observed in the elderly population. In the latter, a high CD4+/CD8+ ratio, and combined PD-L1 expression ≥1% TCs with a low CD8+ density, low CD33+ density, and a high CD4+ density correlated to worse overall survival. We identified differences according to age in the CD4+/CD8+ ratio and in correlation between PD-L1 expression and the density of TAICs in LADC patients. Distinct groups of tumor microenvironments had an impact on the OS of elderly patients with LADC.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the most aggressive carcinoma entities worldwide with early and rapid dissemination. Recently, we discussed the role of microRNAs as epigenetic regulators of Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) in PDAC. In this study, we investigated their value as diagnostic and prognostic markers in tissue and blood samples of 185 patients including PDAC, non-malignant pancreatic disorders, and age-matched healthy controls. Expression of the microRNA-200-family (microRNAs -141, -200a, -200b, -200c, -429) and microRNA-148a was significantly downregulated in tissue of PDAC Union internationale contre le cancer (UICC) Stage II. Correspondingly, stromal PDAC tissue showed strong expression of Fibronectin, Vimentin, and ZEB-1 (Zinc finger E-box-binding homeobox) versus low expression of E-cadherin. Transient transfection of microRNA-200b and microRNA-200c mimics resulted in the downregulation of their key target ZEB-1. Inversely, blood serum analyses of patients with PDAC UICC Stages II, III, and IV showed a significant over-expression of microRNA-200-family members, microRNA-148a, microRNA-10b, and microRNA-34a. Correspondingly, Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) analyses revealed a significant over-expression of soluble E-cadherin in serum samples of PDAC patients versus healthy controls. The best diagnostic accuracy to distinguish between PDAC and non-PDAC in this patient collective could be achieved in tissue by microRNA-148a with an area under the receiver-operating-characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) of 0.885 and in blood serum by a panel of microRNA-141, -200b, -200c, and CA.19-9 with an AUC of 0.890. Both diagnostic tools outreach the diagnostic performance of the currently most common diagnostic biomarker CA.19-9 (AUC of 0.834). Kaplan Meier survival analysis of this patient collective revealed an improved overall survival in PDAC patients with high expression of tissue-related microRNA-34a, -141, -200b, -200c, and -429. In conclusion, EMT-regulating microRNAs have great potential as liquid and solid biopsy markers in PDAC patients. Their prognostic and therapeutic benefits remain important tasks for future studies.
Theoretical Investigations of the Interaction of Gaseous Pollutants Molecules with the Polyacrylonitrile Surface
Authors: Petrov Victor , Avilova Marta
Published: September 2018

This work presents theoretical studies of the interaction of molecules of several gaseous pollutants with polyacrylonitrile (PAN) surface in the presence of a water and/or oxygen molecule. For this purpose, a PAN cluster model has been proposed by the methods of quantum chemical calculations and molecular modeling. The energy-favorable positions, in which the gas molecules are located relative to the surface of the PAN cluster, are determined and the thermodynamic and the following geometric parameters of the systems are calculated: “PAN cluster − oxygen molecule”, “PAN cluster − oxygen molecule − gas molecule”, “PAN cluster − water molecule − molecule of oxygen”, and “PAN cluster − a molecule of water − an oxygen molecule − a gas molecule”. It is concluded that PAN in atmospheric air in the presence of oxygen molecules is sensitive to carbon oxide (IV), sulfur (IV) oxide, chlorine, hydrogen sulfide and carbon oxide (II). In an anoxic environment, PAN films will show selective sensitivity to chlorine. The presence of water molecules in the investigated air should not affect the gas sensitivity of PAN films.
