A Presença Performativa nas Artes da Cena e a Improvisação
Authors: Biancalana Gisela Reis
Published: September 2016

RESUMO Este artigo faz uma reflexão sobre a relevância do aspecto improvisacional oriundo das artes performativas como elemento fomentador da presença cênica. Performances podem ser definidas pelo momento em que um ou mais corpos mostram-se para outros e a presença é aqui entendida como a habilidade do performer para atrair a atenção do espectador para si. O aspecto improvisacional inerente a estas situações pode ser aplicado em vários níveis e de várias formas, mas depende essencialmente do performer em seu desejo de fazer, ou seja, ao entregar-se psicofisicamente a sua arte.

Authors: Paris Gisele Ferreira , Montigny Francine de , Pelloso Sandra Marisa
Published: September 2016

Abstract OBJECTIVE To verify the association between complicated grief and sociodemographic, reproductive, mental, marital satisfaction, and professional support characteristics in women after stillbirth. METHOD Cross-sectional study with 26 women who had stillbirth in 2013, living in the city of Maringá, Brazil, and eight women who attended the Centre d'Études et de Rechercheen Intervention Familiale at the University of Quebec en Outaouais, in Canada. The instrument was administered as an interview to a small number of mothers of infants up to three months (n=50), who did not participate in the validation study. RESULTS By applying the short version of the Perinatal Grief Scale, the prevalence of complicated grief in Brazilian women was found to be higher (35%) in relation to Canadian women (12%).Characteristics of the Brazilian women associated with the grief period included the presence of previous pregnancy with live birth, absence of previous perinatal loss, postpartum depression, and lack of marital satisfaction. For the Canadians it was observed that 80% of the women presenting no grief made use of the professional support group. In both populations the occurrence of complicated grief presented a higher prevalence in women with duration of pregnancy higher than 28 weeks. CONCLUSION The women that must be further investigated during the grief period are those living in Brazil, making no use of a professional support group, presenting little to no marital satisfaction, having no religion, and of a low educational level.

Authors: Chen Zhibo (Chris) , Li Kaigang , Omidvar Mehdi , Iskander Magued
Published: September 2016

Digital image correlation (DIC), also known as particle image velocimetry (PIV), has become a well-established approach for the calculation of field displacements in geotechnical engineering. However, commercial and open-source DIC/PIV software is often used without full realisation of the implications of various parameters on accuracy and efficiency. In this paper, a critical evaluation of the various methods and components of DIC relevant to geotechnical applications is presented. In addition, new algorithms are presented to address some specific problems encountered when using DIC techniques in geotechnical research. Examples and comparisons are presented to support the proposed guidelines, and thus demonstrate the effectiveness of the newly developed techniques.

Interrelation of group, micro-group and interpersonal identities of employees in production groups
Authors: Sidorenkov A.V. , Dorofeev V.
Published: September 2016

The article represents the results of mathematical and statistical analysis of the links between the levels of the identity of employees (group, micro-group and interpersonal) by three components (cognitive, affective and behavioral) in 37 industrial groups with expertise in different fields. The significant linear relationship between micro-group and interpersonal identity (for all components), high linear relationship between group identity and micro-group identity (only for affective component) and the lack of linear relationship between the components of inter- personal and group identity are revealed. Higher influence of group identity on micro-group (for all components) and interpersonal identity (for cognitive and behavioral components) is found out in the totality of intercorrelation between group, micro-group and interpersonal identities. Non-linear relationship between group and micro-group identity for all components is revealed. This non-linear relation indicates that increase in expressiveness of one of the components of group iden- tity leads to decrease in expressiveness of the respective component of micro-group identity. This effect occurs until definite moment, after which, on the contrary, further reinforcement of the components of group identity leads to the increase in expressiveness of micro-group identity. These established consistent patterns are interpreted in the article.

First Principles Calculations Study of Lithium-Montmorillonite for Humidity Sensor Application
Authors: Wungu Triati Dewi Kencana
Published: September 2016

In this study, we performed calculations on the water molecule adsorbed on lithium montmorillonite using first principles-calculation by means of electronic-structure calculation, with emphasis on approaches based on Density Functional Theory (DFT). The mechanism of water molecule adsorption on the surface of lithium-montmorillonite was investigated from the electronic structure point of view to seek the possibility of using montmorillonite as humidity sensor. The effects of the Van der Waals force to the electronic properties of water molecule on the surface of montmorillonite was also considered and obtained that the structure is more stable energetically. The interaction of water molecule with surface of montmorillonite yields the rotation of the hydrogen atoms of water molecule due to the occurrence of repulsive interaction between two positive ions of hydrogen of water molecule and lithium. From the calculations, lithium-montmorillonite can be considered as a good material for humidity sensor application since there is an electrical change observed even though it is a relatively small that is 0.657 eV.
Charge Carriers Motion in P3HT:Capped ZnO Nanoparticles Blend Films; Impact of Capping Agents
Authors: Bahtiar Ayi
Published: September 2016

Blend of conjugated polymer poly(3-hexylthiophene) or P3HT and Zinc Oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NP) has been intensively used as active material for high performance hybrid solar cells. However, agglomeration of ZnO-NP hinders efficient charge carriers transfer both from P3HT to ZnO-NP and their transport within ZnO-NP which cause to low performance of solar cells. Capping of ZnO-NP is currently applied to avoid this agglomeration effect. In this study, we used three different capping agents to cap ZnO-NP, namely small semiconducting molecules squaraine, 2-naphthalene and insulating polymer polyvinylpyrrolidone. We conducted temperature dependence of photoinduced infrared absorption spectroscopy to study charge carriers motion in the P3HT:capped ZnO nanoparticles blend films. The measurement was carried out with light irradiation of 532 nm and temperature ranging from 78 to 300 K.  The spectra were analyzed by a bimolecular carrier recombination method with Arrhenius activation energy. Two parallel charge carrier recombination processes are observed, namely polarons recombination along polymer chain (intra-chain) and inter-chain polarons recombination in the P3HT-chains. At low temperatures, polarons recombine along polymer chains (intra-chain) with activation energy between 19-23 eV for all samples. However, the inter-chain polaron motion is influenced by capping agents as shown by a variation in its activation energy ranging from 28 to 58 eV.

Authors: Dahlan Dahyunir
Published: September 2016

The synthesis of Fe-doped TiO2 thin film using spin coating method was studied. Effects of aging time on the deposited thin film were investigated. Titanium butoxide (C16H36O4Ti) as a precursor solution was mixed with the FeCl3. Spin coating process was carried out on three types of precursor solution: (1) spin-coating process performed immediately after the precursor solution was made, (2) spin-coating process performed after solution was aged for 24 hours, (3) aged for 24 and (4) spin-coating after aging the precursor for 72 hours. Heating was carried out on the resulting thin film at temperature of 400 °C. The morphology of TiO2 layers was characterized using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Atomic Force Microscope (AFM). Elemental and phase composition of the films was determined using EDX and X-ray diffraction (XRD). We found that the best TiO2 layer is obtained when spin-coating process is done after aging the precursor for 72 hours. The layer shows a more uniform particle distribution on the substrate and a more monodisperse particle size dominated by the anatase phase.
Synthesis and Characterization of Fibrous Bimetallic CuPt Nanoparticles
Authors: Rahmi Elvy
Published: September 2016

This paper reports a facile methode for the synthesis of fibrous bimetallic CuPt Nanoparticles (CuPt NPs) using the liquid phase deposition methods deposited directly on an indium-tin oxide (ITO) substrate. The electron microscopy analysis result shows that CuPt NPs, constructed by networked-nanorod of diameter ca. 3.5 nm and length approximately 5.5 to 6.5 nm, exhibits a quasi spherical morphology and fibrous structure with diameter approximately 196±98 nm. The differences of individual element miscibility and the effect of lattice-mismatch between Pt and Cu is the key factor for the formation of fibrous structure. XPS analysis indicated that the fibrous bimetallic CuPt NPs feature metallic properties with highly reactive surface. This may increase the charge-transfer reactions in catalytic, electrochemistry and sensors application.

Authors: Mahmuddin Faisal
Published: September 2016

In order to obtain accurate prediction of ocean wind energy, long term data are needed. However, one data sources might not able to provide long duration data. Therefore, the data need to be combined with other sources of data. However, before combining the data, it is important to compare and validate them to confirm their accuracy. In the present study, wind speed data collected by QuikScat and SSM/I (SSMIS) missions are compared and analyzed. QuikScat data were collected by a satellite with the same name, while Special Sensor Microwave Imager (SSM/I) and Special Sensor Microwave Imager Sounder (SSMIS) data are processed and offered by Remote Sensing System (RSS). SSM/I (SSMIS) are passive microwave radiometers carried onboard Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP). For the comparison, 5 (five) arbitrary positions over Sulawesi and Maluku islands sea areas are chosen for the analyses. For the evaluation purposes, beside time series of daily data from several chosen positions in research location, several statistical parameters are also computed and compared such as mean, standard deviation, root mean square (RMS), correlation coefficient.

Loss Of Flow Event Analysis Of The Rri-50 Conceptual Design
Authors: Hastuti Endiah Puji
Published: September 2016

The conceptual design of Indonesia’s Research Reactor (RRI-50) core has reached the design optimization phase. RRI-50 is designed to produce the maximum neutron flux of 1.0×1015 n/cm2s and thermal neutron flux of 5,0×1014 n/cm2s. The analysis of design basis accident should have anticipated any possible accidents, one of which is loss of flow event that should be met according to the IAEA safety standard. There are many conditions that cause loss of flow accident, such as pump failure. This series of event may trigger an accident due to loss of coolant. Therefore, the event should be deeply analyzed. Loss of flow event analysis has been carried out using PARET-ANL code. The margin toward flow instability and two-phase flow becomes a design limit. The analysis was performed during initial period of event. The reactor scram occurred at 2.1 second because flow rate trip reaches 85% from its nominal value. Based on loss of flow event of the design basis accident of RRI-50 core, it can be concluded that the margin toward flow instability at the early transient, which is the worst condition, has not generated two-phase flow at a constant pressure.
Application Of Trend Analysis Method For Emergency Planningin Npp Accident
Authors: M.U. Pande
Published: September 2016

A decision for emergency response should be taken based on existing nuclear preparedness assessment. However, lessons learned from the Fukushima accident revealed that emergency response personals had difficulties in estimating time duration needed for the emergency actions. For that case, it is needed an alternative way to determine the time required for a response to be implemented. The objective of this paper is to applicate the trend analysis method for an emergency planning in NPP accident, especially to estimate time duration of countermeasures such as sheltering, evacuation, and relocation. Estimation was done based on consequences and dose data of PWR-1000 MWe severe accident which was simulated for West Bangka site. Dose and consequence estimations were calculated using Pc-cosyma software, and trend analysis application was performed using statistical software. The result of simulation are:  iodine tablets are to be distributed to residents in the area within radius of 20-30 km; sheltering countermeasure is needed within the radius of 20-30 km for 12 weeks; evacuation is subjected for the area of 20 km from reactor for duration of 12 weeks; relocation is subjected to radius of 10 km for 2.5 years. The trend analysis can be used for supporting the decision making, especially for emergency planning. The advantage of this method is that it can provide quicker result than past methods. Besides, uncertainties can be reduced by using accurate input data and selection of suitable computation model.
Application Of 99m Tc Radioisotope In Diagnostic Procedures And Internal Radiation Dose Estimation
Authors: Hidayati Nur Rahmah
Published: September 2016

At about 70% of nuclear medicine procedures have utilized 99mTc in their clinical practices.This has lead 99mTc becoming the most convenient radioisotope in nuclear medicine diagnostic. To estimate the internal radiation dose due to the administration of 99mTc to the patients, only few documents from International Commission of Radiation Protection (ICRP) have been available.  However, the calculation usually has applied Caucasian data in Standard Reference Man as a model. The objective of this study was to review the application of 99mTc in Indonesia and to compare the internal dose estimation for 99mTc procedures by using Organ Level Internal Dose Assessment/ EXponential Modeling (OLINDA/EXM) software. The result of calculation was compared between Adult Caucasian model and Asian Reference Man. The result shows that 99mTc has been well applied and developed for diagnostic procedures in Nuclear Medicine Department. Moreover, in most diagnostic procedures using 99mTc in Indonesia, adult patients will receive effective dose about 1-15% higher than adult patient in foreign countries which apply the Caucasian model. Hence, to estimate the similar stochastic risk from the same procedure, the maximum value in recommended administered dose should be avoided and need to be evaluated.

The purposes of this study were to determine the extent to which acute care nurse practitioners (ACNPs) provide patient-centered care (PCC) and to explore the effects of PCC on patients’ functional status, self-care ability, and satisfaction with care. A nonexperimental design with repeated measures was used. The sample included 320 patients with acute medical and surgical conditions. Patients perceived that ACNPs provided PCC, operationalized as encouraging patients to participate in care and individualizing care to a moderate extent. Implementation of these PCC components was positively associated with some domains of self-care ability and satisfaction with care. Further investigation of the contribution of PCC to outcomes is recommended.
Medication Adherence Interventions for Older Adults: Literature Review
Authors: Ruppar Todd M. , Conn Vicki S. , Russell Cynthia L.
Published: September 2016

This literature review explores the range and nature of medication adherence interventions tested with older adults. The unique needs of older adults require specifically designed and tailored interventions. Low medication adherence rates among some elderly contribute to inadequate pharmacological management of illnesses. Searches were conducted to identify randomized controlled trials of medication adherence; computerized databases, journal hand searches, and ancestry searches yielded 63 studies published between 1977 and 2005 where participants’ mean age was > 60 years. Interventions were categorized by focus (patient, medication, and administration factors). Most were geared toward promoting knowledge and skills for medication-taking and adherence. Gaps were noted in addressing memory aids and self-monitoring strategies; further development of interventions addressing medication and administration factors influencing adherence are also needed. Identified interventions are geared toward self-medicating patients and fail to address caregivers administering medications. Finally, interventions do little to address variations in patterns of adherence among older adults.
Theoretical Substruction Illustrated by the Theory of Learned Resourcefulness
Authors: Bekhet Abir K. , Zauszniewski Jaclene A.
Published: September 2016

This article describes the process of theoretical substruction and uses this process to examine the significance of Rosenbaum’s resourcefulness theory for nursing research and practice. The article discusses relocation as a phenomenon of interest to gero-psychiatric nurses working with elders who have relocated to retirement communities, illustrated by the theory of learned resourcefulness. The literature was reviewed to assess the congruence between the theoretical and operational systems suggested by Rosenbaum’s resourcefulness theory. A model of learned resourcefulness is presented that includes middle-range concepts, relational statements, and propositions derived from the research literature. Theoretical substruction provides a mechanism for testing middle-range theories that may contribute to nursing knowledge development.
Exploring the Concepts of Vulnerability and Resilience in the Context of HIV Infection
Authors: De Santis Joseph
Published: September 2016

Based on the unique physical, psychological, and social nature of HIV infection, clients with HIV infection have been categorized as both vulnerable and resilient in the existing literature. Concept exploration of vulnerability and resilience via an integrative literature review was conducted in order to examine the existing knowledge base of these concepts in the context of HIV infection. Search engines were employed to review the existing data-based sources of vulnerability and resilience with relation to HIV infection. After the integrative literature review, an analysis of vulnerability and resilience in the context of HIV infection emerged. Implications for further concept analysis, theory, research, and practice are presented.

Published: September 2016

The aim of the paper was to determine the influence of the fertilization level on the energy and economics efficiency of the production technologies of selected crops processed into bioethanol or biogas. There were investigated the following crops: rye, triticale, wheat, sugar beets, maize, sorghum, reed canarygrass and Virginia fanpetals. In the energetic efficiency the Energy Return on Energy Investment index (EroEI) was used. Apart from the ERoEI ratio, the Net Energy Value (NEV) ratio was also used. In the economics efficiency attitude, the Gross Margin (GM) was determined.The investigations proved that in general, the production technologies of crops where the lowest levels of nitrogen fertilization were applied proved to have the highest energetic efficiency. The highest economic efficiency was characterized by the production of corn for biogas. In the case of the production of bioethanol (all plants), ratios were on the verge of profitability or the lack of it showed.The analysis proved that the efficiency of the technologies of production of the crops to be processed into biogas is several times higher than the energetic efficiency of the technologies of production of the crops to be processed into bioethanol.

The Relationship Between Self-Regulation and Online Learning in a Blended Learning Context
Authors: Lynch Richard , Dembo Myron
Published: September 2016

This study reviewed the distance education and self-regulation literatures to identify learner self-regulation skills predictive of academic success in a blended education context. Five self-regulatory attributes were judged likely to be predictive of academic performance: intrinsic goal orientation, self-efficacy for learning and performance, time and study environment management, help seeking, and Internet self-efficacy. Verbal ability was used as a control measure. Performance was operationalized as final course grades. Data were collected from 94 students in a blended undergraduate marketing course at a west coast American research university (tier one). Regression analysis revealed that verbal ability and self-efficacy related significantly to performance, together explaining 12 percent of the variance in course grades. Self-efficacy for learning and performance alone accounted for 7 percent of the variance. Keywords: self-regulated learning, blended learning, online learning
Use of Distance Education by Religions of the World to Train, Edify, and Educate Adherents
Authors: Rogers P. Clint , Howell Scott L.
Published: September 2016

Islamic, Hindu, Buddhist, Baha'i, Jewish, and Christian organizations are all experimenting with distance education for various reasons and to different extents, due to religious, economic, and political factors. Religious institutions worldwide are not only turning to the World Wide Web (WWW) to place information concerning religious beliefs and provide virtual services for their constituents but are also getting more involved in formally educating their members at a distance. This paper will document some of these educational efforts and the reasons behind the expanding use of distance education by several of the major religious institutions for training, edifying, and educating their religious adherents.

Central Queensland University's Course Management Systems: Accelerator or brake in engaging change?
Authors: McConachie Jeanne , Danaher Patrick Alan , Luck Jo , Jones David
Published: September 2016

 Central Queensland University (CQU) is a highly complex institution, combining campuses in Central Queensland and distance education programs for Australian domestic students with Australian metropolitan sites for international students and a number of overseas centres, also for international students. In common with many other universities, CQU has recently reviewed its course management systems (CMSs). In doing so, CQU has signalled its desired strategic position in managing its online learning provision for the foreseeable future.

This paper analyzes that strategic position from the perspective of the effectiveness of CQU’s engagement with current drivers of change. Drawing on online survey results, the authors deploy Introna’s (1996) distinction between teleological and ateleological systems to interrogate CQU’s current position on CMSs – one of its most significant enterprises – for what it reveals about whether and how CQU’s CMSs should be considered an accelerator of, or a brake on, its effective engagement with those drivers of change. The authors contend that a more thorough adoption of an ateological systems approach is likely to enhance the CMS’s status as an accelerator in engaging with such drivers.
