The Impact Of Technology Evaluation Programme On Agricultural Productivity In Armenia
Authors: Alaverdyan Davit , Nagy Henrietta , Panosyan Ira , Kehinde Olagunju
Published: May 2018

The importance of innovative technologies in bringing about sustainable development in agriculture cannot be overemphasized in today’s world. Concerted efforts have been made by international organizations, ministries of agriculture and extension agents to ensure that farmers have access to these new technologies. Therefore, this study examined the role of technology as a guarantee of sustainable agricultural development in Armenia. The aim of this paper is to find out in what ways this specific technological program in Armenia could contribute to the sustainable development of agriculture and how the innovations applied in agriculture could improve the quality of products and improve the efficiency of production. Various technology programmes from 2001–2013 were critically examined using narratives based on the data obtained from the Agricultural Support Republican Centre. It has been found out that majority of farmers that participated in the Technology Evaluation Programme had increased productivity, had less post-harvest loss, produced high quality and safe output, and increased income accompanied by better welfare. However, new laws and regulations for shared roles and responsibilities of involved institutions are recommended. Farmers from isolated areas should also be engaged within the scope of the project, and promotion of nationwide awareness of the program should also be carried out to the end users.

Published: May 2018

The fauna and structure of herbdwelling spider assemblages in mesophitic meadow under the high voltage power line near Irliava village (Uzhhorod District, Transcarpathian Region) were analyzed on the material collected by sweep netting. Th e counts were held at five sampling sites: 1) under the wires; 2) at a distance of 50 m; 3) 100 m; 4) 150 m; 5) 200 m. In total, 41 spider species of 14 families were collected. Erigonoplus globipes (L. Koch, 1872) and Hylyphantes nigritus (Simon, 1881) were recorded in the Carpathians for the first time. Th e reduction of total number and species richness of spiders was registered as the approaching to the high voltage power line. Except single finds, no species avoided the wire nearest sites (0-50 m). Abundance of most spider families (except Araneidae) was not significantly influenced by distance from the high voltage power line.
The Figure of the Migrant: Tommy Wieringa’s Intellectual Intervention
Authors: Heynders Odile
Published: May 2018

In today’s transforming European public sphere various literary authors position themselves publicly and engagingly in the debate on migration and exclusion. Dutch writer Tommy Wieringa is a clear voice in this context: his ideas on the topic are meaningfully expressed in literary novels. This article analyses Wieringa’s position as an authoritative public intellectual speaking with great moral weight about the figure of the migrant. Drawing on positioning theory, the main claim of the article will be that Wieringa’s literary articulation of migration contributes to the societal discussion and underlines a specific type of moral knowledge as well as an appeal to human solidarity.
The Public Antagonist and Martyr: Reading A.H.J. Dautzenberg against Literary Typologies
Authors: Ven Inge Van De
Published: May 2018

I analyze the public authorship of Dutch writer A.H.J. Dautzenberg. I disentangle some of the main threads in his literature and public persona, singling out three socio-cultural issues on which he has publicly taken a stance in both his literature and his non-fiction texts. I base my analysis on three types of sources: Dautzenberg’s works of literary fiction, appearances in the media, and non-fictional texts. I argue that the case of Dautzenberg brings out the limits of any typology of engaged authorship, autonomous authorship, or stardom, and that his veiled emphasis on factuality under the flag of fiction to an important extent explains the efficiency of his style of media performance, and helps the author generate attention for his work. I conclude that in the final instance, both his work and his media performances are subordinate to his societal engagement, and that therefore, Dautzenberg is a public antagonist first, and an author only secondarily.
Multatuli in Zombieland
Authors: Vermoortel Philip
Published: May 2018

In 1860, the Dutch author Multatuli (pen name of Eduard Douwes Dekker) published Max Havelaar, which was to become the most famous nineteenth-century Dutch novel. In 2016, the book was rewritten by Martijn Adelmund as a book in which also zombies play a role. By doing so, Adelmund follows a fifteen-year-old American literary tradition to rewrite literary masterpieces as zombie books. Since Max Havelaar neither contains many characters nor descriptions of Indonesian nature and has a rather simple plot, Adelmund decided to mix the book with another nineteenth-century Dutch literary masterpiece: Louis Couperus’ De stille kracht. The purpose is to make secondary school pupils read the original Max Havelaar again and encourage them to compare the two versions in order to develop a critical understanding of Dutch colonial history and its present-day consequences. The review focuses on the way Adelmund combined the two classic books, reshaped the plot and added parts of his own. Attention is paid to the way in which the original language was modernized and to the question whether this book really can or will help young students to read the original. However noble Adelmund’s objectives may be, it is very improbable that he will manage to realize them since the quality of the novel he created leaves a lot to be desired.
Thoughts on the table: Gesture as a tool for thinking in blind and visually impaired children
Authors: Jelec Anna , Jaworska Dorota
Published: May 2018

The theory of embodiment (Lakoff and Johnson 2003; Gibbs et al. 2004) explains the origin of meaning by postulating that thought is influenced by sensorimotor experience (Robbins and Aydede 2009). However, the relation between the body, mind and environment is not unidirectional. Not only do we derive information from the world, but we are also able to use it as an extension of the mind through epistemic actions, strategies that minimize the cognitive load by offloading it onto the environment (Kirsh and Maglio 1994). This paper investigates the potential of gesture as epistemic action. 12 blind and severely visually impaired children and young adults, as well as a control group of 7 young adults were interviewed for the purpose of the study. Participants were asked to explain a set of abstract and concrete concepts while their speech and gestures were recorded. If gesture indeed plays a role in reducing the mental load by externalizing thought, more gestures should be produced for concepts that are more difficult to describe (in this case: abstract, intangible concepts). Qualitative data analysis, as well as simple statistical analyses of gesture type, number and gesture per word rates show that abstract concepts do not generate more gestures, but do prompt blind and visually impaired speakers to use simulation gestures. These gestures constitute reenactments of situations associated with a given concept by the respondent. They are also thought to confirm the embodied cognition hypothesis (Hostetter and Alibali 2008). A number of examples demonstrates that abstract concepts in blind children are strongly grounded in their experience of real-world situations. Findings suggest that gesture is not merely a tool for communication, but a way of extending the capabilities of the mind.
Spinoza, Nietzsche y la creación de valores
Authors: Santiago Homero
Published: May 2018

Tanto Spinoza como Nietzsche promueven un análisis crítico de la moral vigente; ambos terminan descubriendo la falsedad de la concepción de valores trascendentes. En el caso particular de Nietzsche, tal operación lo conduce a determinar la creación de valores como una tarea imperativa para los nuevos filósofos. ¿Lo mismo podría ser dicho de Spinoza? ¿No encontraríamos en el spinozismo algo que se aproximaría a una necesidad de crear valores? Intentamos contestar a tales cuestiones mediante un análisis del inicio del Tratado de la reforma del entendimiento.
Autoconciencia prerreflexiva: dos argumentos contra las teorías representacionales de la conciencia
Authors: Grande-García Israel
Published: May 2018

Las teorías representacionales de la conciencia intentan dar cuenta de la experiencia fenoménica con términos mentales sin implicar la conciencia. Las dos principales son el representacionalismo y las teorías de representación de orden superior. El principal argumento para la primera es el de la transparencia de la experiencia, según el cual es imposible discernir, vía introspección, las propiedades intrínsecas de una experiencia de x que no se experimenten como propiedades de x. El representacionalismo sostiene que nuestras experiencias muestran rasgos cualitativos que son idénticos a las propiedades de los objetos que nuestra experiencia representa y que, por lo tanto, el carácter fenoménico de la experiencia es idéntico a su contenido representacional. Las teorías de representación de orden superior o HOR (por higher-order representation), por su parte, explican los estados conscientes en términos de una representación de orden superior, que puede tomar la forma de una cuasi percepción o un pensamiento que va dirigido a un estado mental de primer orden. En este artículo presento dos argumentos contra las teorías representacionales desde una teoría que establece que toda experiencia consciente lleva implícita un tipo de autoconciencia prerreflexiva caracterizada por tener un aspecto por tener un aspecto: ser característicamente mía o para mí (sentido de pertenencia). El primer argumento es contra el representacionalismo. El argumento sostiene que este sentido de pertenencia (1) es un rasgo intrínseco de la experiencia y (2) es discernible por medio de la introspección; por lo tanto, el carácter fenoménico de la experiencia no es idéntico a su contenido representacional y por consiguiente, el representacionalismo es erróneo. El segundo argumento es el problema de los estados de orden superior sin un objetivo al cual dirigirse (i.e., un estado mental de primer orden). Supongamos que un sujeto S tiene una representación de orden superior (HOR) de encontrarse en un estado de dolor d, pero sin tener d. Según las teorías HOR, d no es consciente porque no existe. Pero, como S tiene una HOR acerca de d entonces tendrá una experiencia fenoménica de d. No obstante este resultado es incoherente. Para la teoría de la autoconciencia prerreflexiva, d no es consciente si no le pertenece a S, pero como S sí tiene conciencia de d (siendo d otro tipo de estado diferente al dolor, e.g., una creencia, una imaginería mental), entonces este sentido de pertenencia es lo que hace que d sea una experiencia fenoménica.

El problema de la verdad y la alhqeia
Authors: Estrada Olguín Roberto
Published: May 2018

La pretensión de este trabajo es exponer mi visión acerca de la problemática de la verdad en el ámbito de la filosofía. Para ello distinguiremos las dos orientaciones generales en cuya dirección se ha abordado el problema de la verdad en el ámbito filosófico: 1) la justificacionista y 2) la ontológica. El criterio que nos permite hacer esta distinción es la “actitud y la respuesta” que se han adoptado frente al escepticismo. Por lo tanto, en lo que sigue desarrollaremos los orígenes teoréticos, presupuestos y consecuencias de dos actitudes y dos respuestas correspondientes a estas actitudes frente al escepticismo. En la orientación que denominamos justificacionista incluimos las “teorías de la verdad”, las cuales han proliferado en estos tiempos porque ellas han adoptado la misma “actitud” y han proporcionado la misma “respuesta” ante el escepticismo. Para la perspectiva ontológica expondremos el pensamiento de Heidegger sobre el tema de la verdad, porque en él encontramos el planteamiento del asunto adoptando una “actitud” y proporcionando una “respuesta” que no está dirigida a la búsqueda de una justificación. Además, que esta perspectiva es excluida de las teorías de la verdad, por lo cual su análisis es necesario para determinar su pertinencia en el problema de la verdad. Estas dos orientaciones, a mi juicio, proporcionan un bosquejo mínimo suficiente del problema de la verdad.

La realidad, el arte y la crítica: la poética de Ramón Gaya
Authors: Pascual Gay Juan
Published: May 2018

Ramón Gaya ha sido un artista que, entre sus preocupaciones, se ha interesado de manera muy visible por la realidad. Para Gaya la realidad no pude reducirse de ninguna manera al realismo o a otras corrientes y tendencias que han rebajado la realidad a una mera tesis mimética. Gaya ha criticado a quienes consideran que la modernidad ha ofrecido otras alternativas, como el arte por el arte o el arte artístico, que son capaces de desplazar el interés artístico de la realidad misma. Este texto quiere dar cuenta de lo que Gaya llama realidad y, al mismo tiempo, aclarar aquellos aspectos que considera rechazables de las nuevas propuestas artísticas.
El sentido original de la constructio cartesiana
Authors: Velasco Guzmán Luis Antonio
Published: May 2018

Este breve artículo es un intento por aclarar la importancia que el concepto cartesiano de construcción tiene para su proyecto !losó!co. Para desarrollar esta idea presentaré, en primer lugar, cómo entiendo la paradoja moderna respecto de la construcción del mundo y aclararé el sentido que se le daba al concepto de constructio antes de la innovación cartesiana. Después, analizaré los paradigmas cartesianos de construcción a través del proceso que delimito con los dos ciclos de construcción —indispensables para la creación del mundo moderno. Este análisis sigue muy de cerca el argumento del Discurso del método sobre lo que su autor propone en relación con la construcción del mundo.

A Simple Method for Visualization of Locus-Specific H4K20me1 Modifications in LivingCaenorhabditis elegansSingle Cells
Authors: Shinkai Yoichi , Kuramochi Masahiro , Doi Motomichi
Published: May 2018

Recently, advances in next-generation sequencing technologies have enabled genome-wide analyses of epigenetic modifications; however, it remains difficult to analyze the states of histone modifications at a single-cell resolution in living multicellular organisms because of the heterogeneity within cellular populations. Here we describe a simple method to visualize histone modifications on the specific sequence of target locus at a single-cell resolution in living Caenorhabditis elegans, by combining the LacO/LacI system and a genetically-encoded H4K20me1-specific probe, “mintbody”. We demonstrate that Venus-labeled mintbody and mTurquoise2-labeled LacI can co-localize on an artificial chromosome carrying both the target locus and LacO sequences, where H4K20me1 marks the target locus. We demonstrate that our visualization method can precisely detect H4K20me1 depositions on the her-1 gene sequences on the artificial chromosome, to which the dosage compensation complex binds to regulate sex determination. The degree of H4K20me1 deposition on the her-1 sequences on the artificial chromosome correlated strongly with sex, suggesting that, using the artificial chromosome, this method can reflect context-dependent changes of H4K20me1 on endogenous genomes. Furthermore, we demonstrate live imaging of H4K20me1 depositions on the artificial chromosome. Combined with ChIP assays, this mintbody-LacO/LacI visualization method will enable analysis of developmental and context-dependent alterations of locus-specific histone modifications in specific cells and elucidation of the underlying molecular mechanisms.
Effects of indolebutyric acid, stem cutting positions and substrates on the vegetative propagation of Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni
Authors: Pigatto Guilherme Bortoloso , Gomes Erik Nunes , Tomasi Jéssica de Cássia , Ferriani Aurea Portes , Deschamps Cícero
Published: May 2018

Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni es una especie de alta importancia económica debido a la producción de edulcorantes naturales con bajo valor calórico. La producción de semillas de esta especie es irregular y las técnicas de micropropagación aumentan el costo de la producción de plántulas. Por lo tanto, este trabajo tuvo como objetivo optimizar la propagación vegetativa de un genotipo brasileño de esta especie a través de estacas de tallo. El material vegetal se recogió de plantas maduras con 1 año de edad. Se realizaron dos experimentos para determinar la mejor concentración de ácido indolbutírico (IBA) para mejorar el enraizamiento y evaluar la interacción entre la posición de corte del tallo (apical, mediana y basal) y sustratos (Tropstrato HT®, vermiculita y mezcla de vermiculita y Tropstrato HT®). Las estacas de tallos se vieron afectadas por las concentraciones de IBA. Se recomienda la aplicación de 710 mg L-1 de IBA para mayores porcentajes de enraizamiento. Las estacas de tallos de la región apical de las plantas mostraron mayor porcentaje de enraizamiento que las medianas y basales (medias de 70, 45,8 y 7,5%, respectivamente). Se observaron resultados similares para el número, longitud y masa de raíz fresca y seca. El sustrato Tropstrato HT® promovió mayores porcentajes de enraizamiento de las estacas de tallo y menor mortalidad en comparación con la vermiculita.
Efecto del nitrógeno y el potasio sobre el intercambio gaseoso y la distribución de biomasa en albahaca (Ocimum basillicum L.)
Authors: Combatt C. Enrique , Pérez P. Dario Javier , Jarma-Orozco Alfredo
Published: May 2018

La albahaca es considerada una planta promisoria de reciente explotación en Colombia, pero entre las limitaciones para su expansión, se encuentra la implementación de un plan de nutrición con la aplicación de nitrógeno y potasio, que permita el incremento y sostenibilidad de la producción. El objetivo del trabajo fue determinar el efecto de la fertilización con nitrógeno y potasio sobre variables de intercambio gaseoso, ganancia de biomasa e índice de cosecha (IC) de la albahaca (Ocimum basillicum L.) cv. Nufar F1. La investigación fue realizada en condiciones de umbráculo en la Facultad de Ciencias Agrícolas de la Universidad de Córdoba, Colombia. Se utilizó una matriz Box-Berard aumentada 3 (2k+2k+2k+1+1), para la obtención de combinaciones de nitrógeno y potasio. Las respuestas de intercambio gaseoso evaluadas fueron: tasa de fotosíntesis, conductancia estomática y concentración interna de CO2. En cuanto a biomasa, se evaluó masa seca de raíz, tallo, hoja e índice de cosecha. Los resultados más relevantes indicaron que las máximas tasas de fotosíntesis (17,3 μmol CO2 m-2 s-1) fue observada aplicando 190 kg ha-1 N y 12,5 kg ha-1 K, en tanto que la conductancia estomática fue mayor (65,13 mmol CO2 m-2 s-1), con la misma dosis de N pero con dosis de K de 237,5 kg ha-1. Los valores más altos de masa seca de raíces, tallos y hojas fueron encontradas con las máximas dosis de N (190 kg ha-1), aunque para el potasio las combinaciones que incrementaron la mayor acumulación de biomasa en raíces, tallos y hojas fueron 180,69; 237,5 y 12,5 kg ha-1, respectivamente.

Published: May 2018

It was shown that silver nanoparticles downregulate reproductive system of male rats. At the same time, activation of the hypothalamic sex-function regulatory center did not result in any stimulatory effect on testes. We suppose that toxicity of silver nanoparticles is due to their direct action on the testicles.
Festa de Devoção a Santa Rita de Cássia em Viçosa
Authors: Duarte Josimar Faria
Published: May 2018

O objetivo deste artigo é analisar as memórias e identidades regionais construídas nas práticas de devoção à italiana Margherita Lotti, ou Santa Rita de Cássia, na cidade mineira de Viçosa. Em geral, nos dias próximos a 22 de maio, a população dessa cidade se reúne em festas, sempre marcadas por missas celebradas por vários padres, músicas, danças, procissões cheias de alegorias e fogos de artifício. Os cortejos a Santa tomam as ruas da cidade, sempre sendo acompanhados pelo clero secular e religioso, autoridades civis e políticas, corais e orquestras e por pessoas das mais diversas condições financeiras. Esse ritual se repete por vários anos e constitui-se como local importante para pensarmos às relações sociais sob uma dupla modulação, a de agregação, ou seja, de estar junto, e a da memória coletiva, de criar fabulas, desejos e sentimentos de identidade. Assim sendo, essa é um momento de construção de um sentimento de pertencimento a cultura local, na qual os grupos religiosos e laicos que planejam a realização da mesma visam construir uma “imagem áudio-visual-viçosense”, vinculando Santa Rita de Cássia à cultura popular regional.

The purpose of this article is to analyze the memories and regional identities built in the practices of devotion to Santa Rita de Cássia, in the city of Viçosa. In general, in the days leading up to May 22, the population of this city meets at parties. This ritual is repeated for several years and is an important place to think about social relations under a double modulation, that of aggregation, that is, of being together, and that of the collective memory, of creating fables, desires and feelings of identity . Thus, this is a moment of construction of a sense of belonging to a local culture, in which the religious and lay groups that plan the realization of the same aim to build an "audio-visual-viçosense" image, linking Santa Rita de Cássia to culture popular regional.
Festa ao Divino Pai Eterno: representações patriarcalismo em Panamá (GO)
Authors: Carvalho Eloane Aparecida Rodrigues
Published: May 2018

O presente artigo visa abordar a festa ao Divino Pai Eterno a partir de representação simbólica em prol a Deus-Pai e ritualísticas que se entrelaçaram entre os preceitos católicos e os hábitos cotidianos daqueles que vivenciaram e vivenciam esse momento de encontro. Em Panamá, desde o início, a crença religiosa na divindade adquiriu características específicas da Região Sul de Goiás, sobretudo a imagem do padroeiro, já que corresponde segundo os dogmas cristãos a Santíssima Trindade. Vale considerar que essa devoção popular aos poucos foi sendo evangelizada, principalmente durante a festa, na medida em que os sermões inseridos nas liturgias eram e são voltados para as doutrinas católicas, a saber: missas, batismos, novenas, confissões, procissões, dentre outras. Para tanto, essa pesquisa está assente nas perspectivas de autores da história cultural, da sociologia e da antropologia a fim de compreender os resquícios do patriarcalismo inserido no contexto da manifestação religiosa panamaense.

Party to the Divine Father Eternal: representations of patriarchalism in Panama (GO)

The present article aims to approach the feast to the Divine Father Eternal from symbolic representation in favor of God-Father and rituals that were intertwined between the Catholic precepts and the daily habits of those who lived and experienced this moment of encounter. In Panama, from the beginning, religious belief in the deity acquired specific characteristics of the Southern Region of Goiás, above all the image of the patron saint, since according to Christian dogmas the Holy Trinity corresponds. It is worth to consider that this popular devotion was gradually being evangelized, especially during the feast, inasmuch as the sermons inserted in the liturgies were and are directed to Catholic doctrines, namely: masses, baptisms, novenas, confessions, processions, among others. To do so, this research is based on the perspectives of authors of cultural history, sociology and anthropology in order to understand the remnants of patriarchalism inserted in the context of the manifestation religious Panamanian.

Published: May 2018

A exposição e o consumo de drogas frequentemente acontecem na adolescência, sendo que os jovens do meio rural apresentam indicadores iguais ou superiores aos jovens do meio urbano. A partir de Dinâmicas de Criatividade e Sensibilidade, produziu-se um estudo em uma Escola Básica localizada na zona rural da cidade de Chapecó, Santa Catarina, com o intuito de conhecer a visão dos adolescentes sobre drogas e legislação. Verificou-se que os jovens têm compreensão sobre aos riscos ao consumo de drogas, entretanto, possuem uma concepção de impunidade em relação à legislação, conhecendo apenas o papel ostensivo coercitivo da polícia. Nesse sentido, ações que visem a uma reflexão sobre as leis que tratam da punibilidade, proteção e educação, bem como estratégias que possibilitem instrumentalizar uma polícia mais protetiva são atitudes que podem contribuir para o enfrentamento dessa problemática.Palavras-chave: Adolescentes. Drogas. Legislação. Meio rural.

Síntese de bioplásticos feitos com polímeros naturais: uma alternativa para a gestão ambiental
Authors: Azevedo Alexandre Reis , Almeida Victor Miranda , Santos Suzana Arleno Souza
Published: May 2018

O uso de plásticos tem gerado problemas com relação ao depósito de lixo. O descarte desses materiais representa um grande volume do total do lixo depositado nos aterros do mundo. Para solucionar esse problema, métodos têm sido empregados, tais como a reciclagem, a biodegradação e o uso de polímeros biodegradáveis. Apesar de serem métodos importantes na solução desses problemas, a reciclagem não consegue abarcar a quantidade de plásticos descartados e a biodegradação necessita de uma intensa pesquisa para achar condições favoráveis para a ação dos microorganismos. Um método que vem ganhando espaço nas pesquisas mundiais e tem minimizado os efeitos negativos dos plásticos produzidos são os plásticos biodegradáveis. Neste artigo, apresentamos uma possível solução para o problema ambiental e o desenvolvimento de alternativas para a disciplina de gestão ambiental do curso de engenharia.Palavras-chave: Polímeros naturais.

Descriptive Analysis on Flouting and Hedging of Conversational Maxims in the “Post Grad” Movie
Authors: Rokhmania Nastiti
Published: May 2018

This research is focused on analyzing flouting and hedging of conversational maxim of utterances used by the main characters in “Post Grad” movie. Conversational maxims are the rules of cooperative principle categorized into four categories; Maxim of Quality, Maxim of Quantity, Maxim of Relevance, and Maxim of Manner. If these maxims are used in  conversations, the conversations can go smoothly. However, people often break the maxims overtly (flouting maxim) and sometimes break the maxims secretly (hedging maxims) when they make a conversation. This research is conducted using descriptive qualitative method based on the theory known as Grice’s Maxims. The data are in form of utterances used by the characters in “Post Grad” movie. The data analysis reveals some finding covering the formulated research question. The maxims are flouted when the speaker breaks some conversational maxims when using the utterances in the form of rhetorical strategies, such as tautology, metaphor, hyperbole, irony, and rhetorical question. On the other hand, conversational maxims are also hedged when the information is not totally accurate or unclearly stated but seems informative, well-founded, and relevant.Keywords: Descriptive analysis ; flouting maxims; hedging maxims;  Post Grad movie.

Based on observations made on 4 sepetember in class X SMA Islam Lumajang known that 75% of students said that geography subjects boring because too many concepts that must be memorized because they do not understand the benefits of geography lessons for real life, also rarely make observations out class. Strong indications that underlie the difficulties of students to understand the material presented, among others, due to lack of ability of students in solving the problem of Geography. It can be seen from the activity as well as student learning outcomes that show there are only 3% of students who look active, while others less active, and the ability of students in solving problems there are only 7 students who can solve the problem well. The ability of students in solving the problem is still lacking this can be seen from the observation that says there are only 5 of 40 students who can solve the problem while the 90% still need guidance and training in solving problems. To overcome the problem of learning quality, then compiled geography learning by implementing problem-based learning to improve student activity and learning outcomes in understanding environmental problems. The purpose of this study is to describe whether the problem-based learning can improve student activities and learning outcomes in solving environmental problems in class X SMA Islam Lumajang. This research is a classroom action research conducted in 2 action cycles. In this study data obtained in the form of student learning activities, the value of discussion results, and the value of student learning outcomes. Student learning activities are measured by increasing the average percentage of student learning activities.

Published: May 2018

Aerosol optical depth (AOT) was measured at Xavier University of Louisiana (29.96ᵒ N, 90.11ᵒ W and about 3m above sea level) using a hand-held sun photometer. AOT was measured at two different wavelengths (green at 505nm and red at 625nm) during the period from Sept-2017 to Feb-2018. In this study, we investigate the relationship between AOT and temperature, precipitation, barometric pressure and relative humidity. The maximum monthly average value for green AOT was 0.176 (measured in September) and the minimum monthly value is 0.040 (measured in January). For the red AOT the maximum monthly average value was 0.123 (measured in September) and the minimum is 0.034 (measured in December). The AOT–temperature relationship was predominantly positive, meaning that high AOT values correspond to high temperatures and low AOT values correspond to low temperatures. Relationship between AOT and rainfall is negative, meaning high rainfall averages are associated with low AOT values. AOT and atmospheric pressure have a predominantly negative relationship. The relationship between relative humidity and AOT is a complicated one and is hard to qualify as relative humidity varies very little during the study period.
Debonding Detection of Steel-UHPC Composite Slab Using PZT Technology and Clustering Algorithm

Published: May 2018

A lightweight composite bridge deck system composed of steel orthotropic deck stiffened with thin Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC) layer is developed to eliminate fatigue cracks in orthotropic steel decks. During the construction and operation period of the bridge, the debonding between the steel deck and the UHPC layer may introduce the several issues, such as crack-induced water invasion and distinct reduction of the shear resistance. In the study, an effective and novel non-destructive interface condition monitoring approach using piezoelectric lead zirconate titanate (PZT)-based technologies is proposed to detect interfacial delamination between steel deck and UHPC layer. Experimental tests are performed on several steel-UHPC composite slabs and a conventional steel-concrete composite slab. The thin styrofoam sheets with different sizes and thicknesses are set on different locations of the steel deck as the artificial debondings. The PZT ceramic patches are bonded on the surfaces of the steel deck and UHPC layer as the actuators/sensors. An improved PSO (Particle Swarm Optimization)-K-means clustering algorithms is proposed to obtain the debonding patterns based on the feature data set. The laboratory tests demonstrate that the proposed approach provides an effective and accurate way to detect interfacial debonding of steel-UHPC composite slab.
