The Pursuit of Independence in Catalonia and Scotland: Towards a new form of civic nationalism in Europe?
Authors: Gunn Alexander , Schmidtke Oliver
Published: July 2018

Territorial politics and the prospect of minority nationalist secession have assumed renewed prominence in Europe in recent years, centring on the relationships between Scotland and the United Kingdom and between Catalonia and Spain. For both cases, 2014 proved a momentous year, with Scotland holding a binding referendum on independence in September, and Catalonia holding a non-binding (and disputed) consultation vote in November. This paper explores the recent push for independence in these two contexts, employing frame analysis to assess how the pro-independence movements in Scotland and Catalonia conceptualize and articulate the ideas of nationhood, collective identity, and self-determination. It specifically explores the various political cleavages that these movements draw on in promoting the idea of autonomy or independence, and how these movements have positioned themselves within a changing European political environment. The paper demonstrates that, for both pro-independence movements, territorial politics and the idea of independence serve as vehicle for articulating traditional centre-periphery grievances and for promoting policies that reflect the needs and demands of the Scottish and Catalan communities. At the same time, both movements put forward a form of civic nationalist discourse that advocates democratic renewal and civic engagement.
Ethnic Nation No More? Making Sense of Germany’s New Stance on Dual Citizenship by Birth
Authors: Winter Elke , Diehl Annkathrin , Patzelt Anke
Published: July 2018

While Germany does not allow dual citizenship in principle, since 23 November 2014, children born on German territory to non-German parents are no longer forced at the age of 23 to choose between German citizenship or that of their parents. Rather, they will be able to hold dual citizenship indefinitely. While this may be a far cry from more liberal dual citizenship policies in other countries, the progressive reform of Germany’s citizenship law gains its specific meaning from that country’s tormented history of ethnic nationhood and blood-based citizenship. It is also striking at a time when many countries in the Western world are moving towards more restrictive immigration and citizenship policies. In this paper, we argue that the abrogation of the Optionspflicht [the duty to choose] constitutes a step in leaving behind the country’s notorious tradition of constituting an “ethnic nation.” Our analysis confirms Christian Joppke’s claim that politics and party ideologies matter for the “de-ethnicization” and “re-ethnicization” of citizenship, simultaneous processes that are neither linear nor necessarily path-dependent.
MEANING OF BANK SECRETS AFTER THE ENACMENT OF LAW NUMBER 9 OF 2017 ON STIPULATION OF GOVERNMENT REGULATION IN LIEU OF LAW NO. 1 OF 2017 ON ACCESS TO FINANCIAL INFORMATION FOR THE INTERESTS TAXATION INTO LAW

The national economic development in Indonesia is inseparable from the banking role. The existence of the stipulation of Government Regulation in Lieu of Law (PERPU) Number 1 of 2017 on Access to Financial Information for Tax Purposes will certainly affect the regulation of the banking sector in particular related to bank secrets. The establishment of the Perpu appears to have attracted the attention of the government to immediately pass it into law. It is proven which on 23 August 2017 President Joko Widodo has authorized the Perpu to become a law through Law Number 9 of 2017 on Stipulation of Government Regulation in Lieu of Law (PERPPU) Number 1 of 2017 on Access to Financial Information for Tax Purposes into the Law -What. The policy is a form of Indonesia's commitment to participate in the automatic exchange of information globally for tax purposes. The automatic opening of bank secrets for tax purposes will certainly affect the previous banking arrangements, especially those related to bank secrets. Therefore, in order to avoid overlapping arrangements, the state of Indonesia needs to harmonize all regulations relating to bank secrets and the opening of bank secrets for tax purposes.

Humans are natural reservoir for Staphylococcus aureus, and asymptomatic colonization is far more common than infection. Colonization byStaph.aureusmay be persistent and can last for years. Recent reports of strains of Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolated from community have led speculation that the epidemiology of S. aureus is changing .Usually, MRSA infections havebeen a concern among hospitals for decades now and the reports revealthat the community acquired MRSA is increasing . The community acquired strains could possibly have arisen as a consequence of resistance gene transfer from a hospital acquired (nosocomial) donor into a susceptible recipient. With appropriate analysis of donor andrecipient chromosomes, it could be possible to determine whether these newly identified communityacquired strains are wild or self-supporting.The present study was conducted with a total sample of 1296 wound and other skin infection samples that were collected from different hospitals in western Tamilnadu. The specimens were inoculated in blood agar for isolation and identified as S.aureus by using standard method based on colony morphology, Gram's stain, catalase and coagulase test. A total 258 isolates were confirmed as S.aureus. These strains were processed by the following three techniques,(i) oxacillin, Methicillin and cefoxition disk diffusion method, (ii) cultured in MeRSA plate, (iii) Vitek 2 fully automated ID and AST system for detection mecA gene producer. 34 MRSA strains were identified out of 258 strains.

Published: July 2018

Occipital neuralgia is an uncommon cause of pain over occipital region. When occipital nerves are affected due to osteogenic / vasculogenic / neurogenic causes it is manifested as a sharp shooting or stabbing type of pain over the occipital region of scalp, often progressing to involve the vertex and the temporal region as well. Use and withdrawal of variety of drugs result in headache. The role of any chemotherapeutic drug, as a causative agent for occipital neuralgia, has not been described in literature so far. We are reporting a rare case of occipital neuralgia precipitated while on combination chemotherapy regimen in lung carcinoma.
High-Fat Diet Causes Mitochondrial Dysfunction as a Result of Impaired ADP Sensitivity
Authors: Miotto Paula M. , LeBlanc Paul J. , Holloway Graham P.
Published: July 2018

Although molecular approaches altering mitochondrial content have implied a direct relationship between mitochondrial bioenergetics and insulin sensitivity, paradoxically, consumption of a high-fat (HF) diet increases mitochondrial content while inducing insulin resistance. We hypothesized that despite the induction of mitochondrial biogenesis, consumption of an HF diet would impair mitochondrial ADP sensitivity in skeletal muscle of mice and therefore manifest in mitochondrial dysfunction in the presence of ADP concentrations indicative of skeletal muscle biology. We found that HF consumption increased mitochondrial protein expression; however, absolute mitochondrial respiration and ADP sensitivity were impaired across a range of biologically relevant ADP concentrations. In addition, HF consumption attenuated the ability of ADP to suppress mitochondrial H2O2 emission, further suggesting impairments in ADP sensitivity. The abundance of ADP transport proteins were not altered, but the sensitivity to carboxyatractyloside-mediated inhibition was attenuated after HF consumption, implicating alterations in adenine nucleotide translocase (ANT) ADP sensitivity in these observations. Moreover, palmitoyl-CoA is known to inhibit ANT, and modeling intramuscular palmitoyl-CoA concentrations that occur after HF consumption exacerbated the deficiency in ADP sensitivity. Altogether, these data suggest that an HF diet induces mitochondrial dysfunction secondary to an intrinsic impairment in mitochondrial ADP sensitivity that is magnified by palmitoyl-CoA.
Childbirth-Related Hospital Burden by Socioeconomic Status in a Universal Health Care Setting
Authors: Mah Sarah Meghan , Sanmartin Claudia , Harper Sam , Ross Nancy A
Published: July 2018

IntroductionHospital utilization varies across socioeconomic and demographic strata in Canada, which has a universal health care system that grants essential services to everyone. Rates of adverse birth outcomes are known to differ among high and low SES women, but less is known of the excess burden attached to those outcomes across Canadian provinces.

ObjectiveTo examine length of stay for childbirth relative to women’s socio-demographic characteristics, in the context of the Canadian universal health care system.

MethodsA population-based record linkage between the Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) cycles 3.1 (2005) and 4.1 (2007/8), and the Discharge Abstract Database (DAD) allowed the tracking of hospital utilization for linked survey respondents between 2005 and 2009. Hourly length of stay for delivery was modeled by socio-demographic factors, controlling for other clinical and individual-level characteristics.

ResultsThere were 7,166 complete delivery records from 5,570 female CCHS respondents who agreed to link and share their information. Women with the lowest income had on average, four-hour longer stays for vaginal delivery as compared to high-income women (IRR 1.07, 95% CI 1.02-1.13, p=0.01), and eight-hour longer stays for Caesarian delivery (IRR 1.08, 95% CI 0.95-1.22, p=0.23). A greater proportion of teenage pregnancy was seen for Aboriginal girls. Aboriginal status and rural area of residence were co-determinants of elevated length of stay.

ConclusionThe absence of egregious socio-demographic differences regarding childbirth is reassuring for the Canadian health care system. However, the persistence of marginally longer, and in turn, costlier visits for low-income and rural Aboriginal women is suggestive that policies of cash transfers during the prenatal period might be highly cost-effective if they achieve population-wide reductions in length of stay.
The Role of Vegetation in Controlling Air Temperature Resulting from Urban Heat Island
Authors: Rushayati Siti Badriyah , Shamila Annisa Dyra , Prasetyo Lilik Budi
Published: July 2018

Urban Heat Island (UHI) is a phenomenon exhibited by many worldwide cities. Cities, which exhibit UHI, possess higher air temperature as compared with air temperature in the surrounding areas. However, existing UHI profiles are those occurring in subtropical areas which are, of course, very much different from those in tropical cities. Therefore, the objectives of this study are to describe the UHI’s profile and the role of tree vegetation in controlling and reducing air temperature in a tropical region’s urban areas and, particularly, in DKI Jakarta. In this study, we carried out a spatial analysis of land cover and the distribution of air temperature. In this regard, we based our analysis of the potency of tree vegetation in reducing air temperature in UHI’s profile on the distribution of air temperature in various types of land cover which extended from north to south and from east to west. The ranges of air temperature in land cover in the form of built-up areas were 29.2-39.5 ⁰C, non-tree vegetation 28.6-35.6 ⁰C, and tree vegetation 27.0-35.7 ⁰C. Accordingly, tree vegetation has the highest potential to reduce air temperature and to overcome the phenomenon of UHI.

Kebijakan perizinana lingkungan dan kepentingan investasi disorot oleh banyak pihak, dianggap mempunyai andil besar yang menyebabkan krisis  lingkungan di negeri ini. Perusakan dan pencemaran bidang lingkungan yang dilakukan pelaku usaha/industri dapat ditelusuri dari berbagai kebijakan pemberian perizinan lingkungan, seperti pendirian pabrik semen, penebangan HPH, reklamasi pantai, tambang  batubara, emas dan lain lain. Perizinan lingkungan yang menimbulkan sengketa lingkungan apabila tidak bisa diselesaikan melalui hukum administrasi semata tetapi dapat juga dilakukan melalui hukum perdata bahkan pidana. Pembuktian hukum perdata biasa memerlukan pembuktian mengenai unsur hubungan sebab akibat,  yang didasarkan pada dalil liabality base on fault  dinilai akan memberatkan pihak yang melakukan gugatan. Karena itu dengan berkembangnya industrialisasi yang menghasilkan resiko yang bertambah besar serta makin rumitnya hubungan sebab-akibat, maka teori hukum telah meninggalkan konsep “kesalahan” dan berpaling ke konsep “resiko” yang menekankan pada tangung jawab mutlak dengan didasarkan pada asas liability base on risk. Model ke depan dalam penyelesaiaan sengketa perizinan lingkungan yang melibatkan masyarakat, pemerintah atau dunia usaha akan lebih baik apabila dilakukan melalui lembaga alternatif, dirancang melalui lembaga mediasi  berdasarkan win win solution. Model penyelesaiaan ini merupakan model penyelesaiaan yang efisien, murah, cepat dan mampu menghasilkan keputusan yang lebih baik. Kata Kunci : Perizinan lingkungan, Gugatan masyarakat dan Penyelesaian sengketa.

In this study, we have analysed what kind of information needs arise in case of a sudden random act of violence and which factors trigger these information needs. The case represented in this study is the stabbing in Turku which took place in August 18th, 2017, which led to the death of two people. The data in this study consists of the Facebook comments collected from the media company Yle News' Facebook-profile. The first 13 posted news and their comments were collected during the first eight hours after posting the news. The total data consists of 1930 comments and 212 recognized information needs in their content.

Quantitative and qualitative analysis were used for analysing the data. The study shows that, during crisis, information needs change as more information is released. Traditional media faces a lot of expectations during these times of rapid information sharing enabled by social media. Most information needs were directed to the media and especially the activities of media company Yle.  Other frequent information needs included questions about the offender and issues concerning immigration politics. Most information needs were aiming to strengthen the person's own world view, for example concerning immigration.

In the study, information needs were categorized into 15 different types that can be divided in to four main groups: authority related, act related, world view related and other information needs. Additionally, the time relation of information needs was analysed in the study. At first, the information needs were directed to the act itself and the activities of authorities. As more time passed, the information needs changed towards those related to world views. Affectional factors are a significant trigger of information needs in a terror type crisis situation.

Stock Market Volatility Measure Using Non-Traditional Tool Case of Germany
Authors: Ahmed Naeem , Sarfraz Mudassira
Published: July 2018

This study examines the stock market volatility of German bench-mark stock index DAX 30 using logarithmic extreme day return. German stock markets have been analyzed extensively in literature. We look into volatility issue from the standpoint of extreme-day changes. Our analysis indicates the non-normality of German stock market and higher probability of negative trading days. We measure the occurrences of extreme-day returns and their significance in measuring annual volatility. Our time series analysis indicates that the occurrences of extreme-days show a cyclical trend over the sample time period. Our comparison of negative and positive extreme-days indicates that negative extreme-days overweigh the positive extreme days. Standard deviation, as measure of volatility used traditionally, gives altered ranks of annual volatility to a considerable extent as compared to extreme-day returns. Lastly, existence of extreme day returns can be explained by past period occurrences, which show predictability.

The Use of Hazard Models for the Analysis of Income Inequalities in Poland
Authors: Landmesser Joanna Małgorzata
Published: July 2018

The aim of the paper is to examine the income inequalities of men and women in Poland. We estimate conditional cumulative distribution functions for incomes in both groups of people using a flexible hazard-function based estimator in the presence of covariates. The conditional piecewise-constant exponential hazard models are applied. Then, we decompose the estimated income differences along the whole income distribution. For this purpose, we construct the counterfactual distribution, which is the distribution of incomes that would prevail for women if they had the distribution of men’s characteristics. The method allowed to investigate the structure of inequalities in the entire range of income values for the two analyzed groups of people. The empirical investigation is based on the data collected within the EU-SILC project.

The addition of the existing heap on the ground interface will affect the ability of subgrade to accept the burden of the embankment and other charges on it. The inability of subgrade in accepting the load will result in a decrease in the vertical deformation and collapse. The analysis was conducted on the National Roads Banda Aceh-Medan KM. 83 + 135 of the Seulawah. The purpose of this study is to analyze whether the brunt of the height of the pile (H Critical) have exceeded the carrying capacity of the subgrade. The analysis was performed by using Plaxis software. The implementation method used in the analysis based on the modeling of the pile height variations by reducing the height of the pile with a certain interval gradually until a critical height (H Critical) heap that causes the achievement of maximum decrease of 2.5 cm. The modeling result demonstrates that when the consolidation of the soil embankment on condition of Hheap soil = 6 m, Hheap soil= 5.4 m, Hheap soil = 4.8 m could able to reduce the height of the soil embankment by 10%, 20%, and 30%, and considered in an unsafe condition. While when the soil embankment consolidation reduce by 40% (H heap soil = 3.6 m) showing in a safe condition. This result shows that the forces acting on the pile-soil could not hold the load so that the interface is about to collapse.

Routine maintenance on the Blangkejeren - Laweaunan road is done by self-managed and continuously every year with road length 65 Km. The committing officer undertakes work with the subcontractor who is deemed capable of carrying out the work and provides wages to the foreman who is a resident. To avoid risks, the Committing Officer undertakes the implementation of the Occupational Safety and Health Management System (OSHMS). Therefore, this study aims to identify the level of OSH risk in routine road maintenance work, identify the level of compliance of subcontractors and workforce employees in OSH implementation on routine maintenance work, and identify the selection of service providers in each routine road maintenance work. The identification of OSH risk level is made based on the Minister of Public Works Regulation no. 05/PRT/M/2014 criteria, and data collected by interviewing the owner's personal. Identification of labor compliance rates of subcontractors and foremen is based on Construction and Building Guidelines No. 004/BM/2006, judged from the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). The analysis method used in this study is descriptive analysis. The result from the analysis indicates that the level of OSH risk in routine national road maintenance work for the routine maintenance of pavement, routine road shoulder maintenance, and routine maintenance of road equipment has a low risk. Whereas in routine maintenance work of sewer, drainage, trenching and heap have a medium risk. Labor compliance from subcontractors has shown a higher percentage about 59% compared to 40% for labor compliance from the foreman. It means that most of the subcontracted workforce is compliant, and almost half the workforce of the foremen adheres to the use of PPE. The routine maintenance work of sewer, drainage, trenching and heap, the right service.

Cutaneous Manifestations of Disseminated Histoplasmosis in a Patient with AIDS
Authors: Borda Luis J , Oberlin Kate E , Nichols Anna J
Published: July 2018

Introduction: Disseminated histoplasmosis is often seen in immunocompromised individuals, such those with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). The initial infection mainly involves the lungs but it may develop into a disseminated form especially in immunocompromised patients. Since it can be a systemic disease with cutaneous manifestations, dermatologists must be able to recognize its clinical presentation to ensure prompt management.Case: We present a man in his 50s with past medical history of AIDS who developed disseminated histoplasmosis with skin and gastrointestinal involvement over a one-month period of time. Despite receiving induction therapy with intravenous amphotericin B followed by oral itraconazole, the patient expired. His death was attributed to his persistently low CD4 T-cell count and secondary bacteremia.Discussion: This condition should be recognized early and treated aggressively. However, patients with multiple comorbidities are at increased risk of mortality even despite adequate treatment. This case highlights the significant mortality risk of disseminated histoplasmosis in patients with AIDS.

Published: July 2018

Disorders of hair loss are commonly encountered by hair stylists, who are in a unique position to identify early signs and symptoms. The goals of this study were to assess hair stylists’ knowledge of and propensity to refer patients with scarring alopecias. One-hundred-eighteen stylists completed surveys to this effect. The majority of respondents (66.1%) stated that they had been asked by clients to evaluate for hair loss, whereas approximately half reported routinely referring clients with hair loss to a dermatologist. Although knowledge of alopecia varied, the vast majority indicated they would be willing to undergo further training in identifying hair loss disorders and would be willing to discuss this information with clients. These results demonstrate that hairdressers frequently interact with patients suffering from hair loss and that many are receptive to receiving additional training to ensure proper identification and prompt referral.

Background/Aims: An important pillar of AD management involves moisturizer application following bathing to restore epidermal barrier function (EBF). In this study, we aim to bring additional evidence to the “soak-and-smear” regimen, comparing EBF recovery by various moisturizers following bathing in AD and healthy subjects. Methods: Volar forearms of 10 AD patients and 10 healthy controls were immersed in water for 10 minutes to simulate bathing. Immediately after bathing, ceramide-containing emollient (CER), a humectant (10% glycerin, GLY), an occlusant (white petrolatum, PETR), and aloe vera 5% extract (ALOE) were applied to separate test sites on the forearm. One test site did not receive any moisturizer and served as control. EBF parameters (hydration, TEWL, and pH) were recorded at baseline, and 15, 30, and 60-minutes post-bathing.Results: AD and controls shared similar trends. ALOE had the most significant pH decrease while GLY had the highest pH increase. Hydration significantly increased in all moisturizers compared to control. GLY led to the highest increase, peaking at 15-minutes for both AD and healthy subjects. AD subjects had higher hydration following CER than healthy subjects throughout the entire study. All four moisturizers increased TEWL compared to control, though PETR had the lowest initial TEWL increase. Conclusion: All moisturizers has an immediate effect on improving SC hydration. Their initial effects on TEWL increase recovers toward control levels by 60-minutes. Future studies are needed to examine the effect of repeated moisturizer post-bathing over longer study periods.
Evolution of a Doxycycline-Induced Phototoxic Rash With an Unusual Distribution
Authors: Kesterson Katrina , Subrt Adrian , Wilkerson Michael
Published: July 2018

Commonly used in clinical practice, doxycycline has been known to produce a cutaneous phototoxic reaction in combination with sunlight. Several mechanisms have been proposed to contribute to its pathogenesis such as UVA oxidation of cellular components, the formation of photoproducts, and altered melanogenesis. We describe a case of a phototoxic rash in a patient taking doxycycline 100 mg daily for the treatment of rosacea. We present several photos of the rash from erythema to desquamation several weeks later. The clinical presentation of a doxycycline-induced phototoxic rash varies from a sunburn like sensation to diffuse erythematous plaques on sun exposed areas. Treatment involves discontinuing the drug and providing symptomatic relief. Although sunscreen may prevent a doxycycline-induced phototoxic reaction, it is important to educate the patient to use a sunscreen with protection in the 340-400 nm range in which phototoxic reactions are thought to occur. As doxycycline-induced phototoxicity is poorly understood, it may be best to advise the patient to avoid sun exposure altogether while taking the drug.
Primary Cutaneous Cryptococcosis in an Immunocompetent 6-Year-Old Female

Published: July 2018

A 6-year-old otherwise healthy female presented to the ED with a right eyebrow lesion for one month.  Previous I&D attempts and empiric antibiotic treatment had failed to improve the lesion.  Following dermatology referral, superficial culture resulted with growth of Cryptococcus neoformans after which completion of oral fluconazole treatment resolved the lesion.  Though Cryptococcus neoformans infections commonly plague immunocompromised patients, primary cutaneous cryptococcosis in the immunocompetent patient is a rare but documented infection with a paucity of reported pediatric cases, and frontline physicians should be aware of such a diagnosis in the setting of persistent skin lesions without response to more commonly utilized therapies.
A Novel Nematic-Like Mesophase Induced in Dimers, Trimers and Tetramers Doped with a Highly Chiral Additive
Authors: Mandle Richard , Goodby John W.
Published: July 2018

From the observation of a previously undiscovered nematic-like mesophase (NX) by Archbold et al, we report on several new binary liquid-crystalline mixtures between the high helical twisting power dopant RM1041 and a selection of dimers with varying average bend angles and conformational landscapes. We also report on mixtures between RM1041 and oligomeric LC materials. We find that dimers and oligomers exhibit not only chiral nematic and twist-bend modulated phases, but also the same NX phase reported by Archbold, indicating that this state of matter (the structure of which is yet to be definitively characterised) is exhibited by a wide range of materials. Mixtures of the dimer CB9CB with a selection of different chiral dopants suggest that it is the helical twisting power of the chiral additive that is responsible incidence of the NX phase.
El ser humano como ciudadano: una mirada desde los derechos humanos de los habitantes de y en la calle de Bogotá, localidad de Los Mártires
Authors: Ocampo Hoyos Sandra Milena
Published: July 2018

En este artículo se exponen los resultados de la investigación llevada a cabo con algunos habitantes de calle de la localidad de Los Mártires, trabajo que se desarrolló bajo los preceptos del método etnográfico, aplicando distintas técnicas de recolección de información, entre ellas la entrevista. La investigación tuvo como objetivo identificar las diferentes ideas y puntos de vista que algunos habitantes de calle tienen sobre los derechos huma- nos. Se pretendió hacer evidente el límite político, económico y social de la ciudadanía, con el fin de analizar la vigencia de los derechos e identificar las necesidades propias de su condición, para lograr una mejor comprensión de su situación y plantear sus requerimientos desde una perspectiva de derechos. Dentro de los hallazgos y conclusiones se pudo apreciar la construcción de una definición de derechos humanos por parte de los habitan- tes de calle, basada en sus necesidades materiales y emocionales (buen trato), y la identificación de la exclusión con un estigma social, que al identificarlos con todo lo malo termina en que son juzgados y aislados de la sociedad. Finalmente, se plantea la ne- cesidad de una reflexión crítica que lleve a apuestas sociales para la prevención y superación de la habitabilidad en calle.

Published: July 2018

In the research into heliumÂ  massÂ  spectrometer leakage detection, a method for linearizability investigation has been put forward recently. Meanwhile,Â  itÂ  hasÂ  been demonstrated the rationality of the method through multiple tests based on the study in the principle of constant pumping speed of the mechanical pump in vacuum. The method realizes the control over the pressure through adjusting the leak detector inlet, so as to adjust gas flow rate in the leak detector. The concentration of heliumÂ  inÂ  mixedÂ  gasÂ  is controlled via changing helium flowÂ  rateÂ  duringÂ  leakage detection, so as to influence value display of the leak detector. With regard to test of linearity of the leak detector, a research has been conducted into relationship between the inletÂ  pressureÂ  andÂ  output readings. The methodology of the research is characterized by simplicity, convenience, cost effective, and its test range coversÂ  mostÂ  ofÂ  theÂ  test leakageage rates in practice.
A Literature Review of Wave-Induced Heave Motion of Floating Structures
Authors: Xue Jia qi
Published: July 2018

This paper provides comprehensive review on heave motion of rigid floating structure due to wave impacts. To specify and explain the structure response, this review firstly provides a brief introduction on ocean sea wave theory, floating structure motion interpretation. Then the floating body motion in regular waves was demonstrated using a superposition method of the oscillated motion in still water and the restrained motion inÂ waves. Meanwhile, added mass and damping coefficient, these two frequency-dependent terms are brought into discussion to generate the motion response with given wave amplitude, which is known for response amplitude operator( RAO). Based on the study in regular waves, RAO of floating structure in irregular waves is introduced while no longer in time domain but in frequency domain. The whole review covers the literatures from the early 1980s up to nowadays, based on the review, it is recommended that more experimental work regarding to frequency characteristic and relative response of larger floating body should be carried out to improve the accuracy of this method.
