Published: July 2020

Detailed analysis of five gas emission craters (GEC) found in the north of West Siberia is presented. Remote sensing data used in the study is verified by field surveys. Previous studies show that all of the GECs were preceded by mounds 2 to 6 m high and 20 to 55 m in diameter. GECs initially were 20–25 m in diameter, which increased in the first years of their existence. GECs are found in various environmental (shrublands or moss-grass tundra) and geomorphic (river valley, terrace, slopes) conditions. The objective of the paper is to identify common and differing geomorphologic and environmental characteristics of all the five GEC, and their mound-predecessors. The study is based on a compilation of DSMs before and after the GEC formation using very high-resolution satellite imagery stereo pairs compared to ArcticDEM project data. Diversity of terrain and environmental settings along with rather a narrow range of GEC and mound-predecessor morphometric parameters allows concluding that the mechanism of GEC formation is most likely similar for all the GEC and is controlled rather by internal geologic and cryolithologic structure than by any surface properties.

Published: July 2020

The vertically distributed aerosol optical properties are investigated over Pakistan utilizing the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation (CALIPSO) Level 2 products from 2007 to 2014. For a better understanding of the spatiotemporal characteristics of vertical aerosol layers, the interannual and seasonal variations of nine selected aerosol parameters such as the AOD of the lowest aerosol layer (AODL), the base height of the lowest aerosol layer (HL), the top height of the highest aerosol layer (HH), the volume depolarization ratio of the lowest aerosol layer (DRL), the color ratio of the lowest aerosol layer (CRL), total AOD of all the aerosol layers (AODT), the number of aerosol feature layers (N), the thickness of the lowest aerosol layer (TL), the AOD proportion for the lowest aerosol layer (PAODL) for both day and night times are analyzed. The results show AODT increased slightly from 2007 to 2014 over Pakistan, and relatively high AODT exists over the Punjab and Sindh (southern region), which might be owing to the high level of economic development, frequent dust storms, and profound agricultural activities (anthropogenic emissions). AODT increases from north to south. The reason may be that the southern region is rapidly urbanized and is near the desert. The northern region is dominated by agricultural land, and cities are usually semi-urbanized. The highest AODT appears in summer compared to the other seasons, and during daytime compared to nighttime. The HL and HH vary significantly, owing to the topography of Pakistan. The N is relatively large over Punjab and Sindh compared to the other regions, which might be caused by relatively stronger atmospheric convections. The spatial distribution of the TL showed an inverse relationship with the topography as lower values are observed over elevated regions such as Gilgit-Baltistan and Jammu-Kashmir. The value of the PAODL indicates that 77% of the total aerosols are mainly concentrated in the lowest layer of the atmosphere over Pakistan. The higher values of DRL and CRL indicate non-spherical and large particles over Balochistan and Sindh, which might be related to the proximity to the desert. This study provides very useful information about vertically distributed aerosol optical properties which could help researchers and policymakers to regulate and mitigate air pollution issues of Pakistan.

Published: July 2020

Drought is a natural phenomenon that originates from the absence of precipitation over a certain period and is capable of causing damage to societal development. With the advent of orbital remote sensing, rainfall estimates from satellites have appeared as viable alternatives to monitor natural hazards in ungauged basins and complex areas of the world; however, the accuracies of these orbital products still need to be verified. Thus, this work aims to evaluate the performance of Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite rainfall estimates in monitoring the spatiotemporal behavior of droughts at multiple temporal scales over Paraíba State based on the standardized precipitation index (SPI) over 20 years (1998–2017). For this purpose, rainfall data from 78 rain gauges and 187 equally spaced TRMM cell grids throughout the region are used, and accuracy analyses are performed at the single-gauge level and in four mesoregions at eight different time scales based on 11 statistical metrics calculations divided into three different categories. The results show that in the mesoregions close to the coast, the satellite-based product is less accurate in capturing the drought behavior regardless of the evaluated statistical metrics. At the temporal scale, the TRMM is more accurate in identifying the pattern of medium-term droughts; however, there is considerable spatial variation in the accuracy of the product depending on the performance index. Therefore, it is concluded that rainfall estimates from the TRMM satellite are a valuable source of data to identify drought behavior in a large part of Paraíba State at different time scales, and further multidisciplinary studies should be conducted to monitor these phenomena more accurately based on satellite data.
Soil Conservation Service Spatiotemporal Variability and Its Driving Mechanism on the Guizhou Plateau, China
Authors: Niu Linan , Shao Quanqin
Published: July 2020

The Guizhou Plateau has an extremely fragile ecological environment with prominent soil and water losses. Since 2000, conservation policies and ecological restoration projects, e.g., the Grain for Green Project (GGP), have been implemented on the Guizhou Plateau to control soil/water losses which have achieved notable accomplishments. Using the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) to estimate the soil conservation service (SCS) on the Guizhou Plateau, this study analyzed the dynamic characteristics of its spatiotemporal variation based on multiyear (2000–2018) meteorological and remote sensing data to determine its driving mechanisms. Residual analysis of the meteorological and remote sensing data was used to evaluate the effect of anthropogenic activities. Results showed a clear upward trend (1.39 t ha−1 yr−1) of SCS on the Guizhou Plateau during 2000–2018, and areas with a highly improved positive effect on SCS were distributed primarily in karst landform regions. Precipitation and vegetation fractional coverage (VFC) were found to be positively correlated with SCS on the Guizhou Plateau. Specifically, the highest proportion of significant positive correlation between precipitation and SCS was related to the Wildlife Conservation Nature Reserve (WCNR), and the highest proportion of significant positive correlation between VFC and SCS was related to the GGP, i.e., 76.59% and 53.02%, respectively. Residual analysis revealed a significant positive role of anthropogenic activity on SCS improvement via ecological engineering in areas with a poor ecological background, e.g., the GGP in western areas where the ecological environment is fragile and the problem of water/soil loss is serious. In areas with a more robust ecological background, e.g., the engineering area of the WCNR, the effect of anthropogenic activity has had a largely negative effect on SCS. The findings of this study could make an important contribution to the development of ecological management projects and the work to control soil/water losses on the Guizhou Plateau.
High-Efficiency Determination of Coastline by Combination of Tidal Level and Coastal Zone DEM from UAV Tilt Photogrammetry
Authors: Huang Chao , Zhang Hongmei , Zhao Jianhu
Published: July 2020

To meet the needs of coastline efficient extraction and dynamic monitoring, this paper proposes a new method for coastline extraction by combining the tidal level and the digital elevation model (DEM) of the coastal zone from tilt photography. Firstly, the DEM of coastal zone was obtained by using unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) tilt photography; at the same time, the accuracy of aerial triangulation(AT) is improved referencing to the constraint of water boundary points, and then the mean high water spring tide was obtained by combining tidal harmonic analysis and Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) tidal level. Finally, the coastline and the dynamic water-surface line are extracted from the DEM of the coastal zone by tracking the contour lines with the elevation of the mean high water springs (MHWS) and the instantaneous sea-surface elevation, respectively. The experiments carried out in the coastal zones of Liaoning Province, China, proved the proposed method and achieved better than 0.2 m of horizontal position accuracy and 0.1 m of the vertical accuracy.

Published: July 2020

In this work, we present for the first time a laser-based dual gas sensor utilizing a silica-based Antiresonant Hollow-Core Fiber (ARHCF) operating in the Near- and Mid-Infrared spectral region. A 1-m-long fiber with an 84-µm diameter air-core was implemented as a low-volume absorption cell in a sensor configuration utilizing the simple and well-known Wavelength Modulation Spectroscopy (WMS) method. The fiber was filled with a mixture of methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2), and a simultaneous detection of both gases was demonstrated targeting their transitions at 3.334 µm and 1.574 µm, respectively. Due to excellent guidance properties of the fiber and low background noise, the proposed sensor reached a detection limit down to 24 parts-per-billion by volume for CH4 and 144 parts-per-million by volume for CO2. The obtained results confirm the suitability of ARHCF for efficient use in gas sensing applications for over a broad spectral range. Thanks to the demonstrated low loss, such fibers with lengths of over one meter can be used for increasing the laser-gas molecules interaction path, substituting bulk optics-based multipass cells, while delivering required flexibility, compactness, reliability and enhancement in the sensor’s sensitivity.
Recent Analysis of Forged Request Headers Constituted by HTTP DDoS

Published: July 2020

Application Layer Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks are very challenging to detect. The shortfall at the application layer allows formation of HTTP DDoS as the request headers are not compulsory to be attached in an HTTP request. Furthermore, the header is editable, thus providing an attacker with the advantage to execute HTTP DDoS as it contains almost similar request header that can emulate a genuine client request. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, there are no recent studies that provide forged request headers pattern with the execution of the current HTTP DDoS attack scripts. Besides that, the current dataset for HTTP DDoS is not publicly available which leads to complexity for researchers to disclose false headers, causing them to rely on old dataset rather than more current attack patterns. Hence, this study conducted an analysis to disclose forged request headers patterns created by HTTP DDoS. The results of this study successfully disclose eight forged request headers patterns constituted by HTTP DDoS. The analysis was executed by using actual machines and eight real attack scripts which are capable of overwhelming a web server in a minimal duration. The request headers patterns were explained supported by a critical analysis to provide the outcome of this paper.
Process Controls of the Live Root Zone and Carbon Sequestration Capacity of the Sundarbans Mangrove Forest, Bangladesh
Authors: Bomer Edwin J. , Wilson Carol A. , Elsey-Quirk Tracy
Published: July 2020

The conservation of coastal wetland ecosystems, like mangrove forests and salt marshes, represents a critical strategy for mitigating atmospheric emissions and climate change in the 21st century. Yet the existence of these environments is threatened by human-induced disturbances, namely deforestation and accelerated sea-level rise. Coastal systems maintain surface elevation in response to sea-level rise through a combination of physical and biological processes both above and below the ground surface. The quantification and relative contribution of belowground process controls (e.g., seasonal water content, organic matter decomposition) on surface elevation change is largely unexplored but crucial for informing coastal ecosystem sustainability. To address this knowledge deficit, we integrated measurements of surface elevation change of the live root zone (0.5 to 1 m depth) with geotechnical data from co-located sediment cores in the Sundarbans mangrove forest (SMF) of southwest Bangladesh. Core data reveal that the primary belowground controls on surface elevation change include seasonal fluctuations in pore-water content and the relative abundance of fine-grained sediments capable of volumetric expansion and contraction, supporting an elevation gain of ~2.42 ± 0.26 cm year−1. In contrast to many mangrove environments, the soils of the SMF contain little organic matter and are dominantly composed (>90%) of inorganic clastic sediments. The mineral-rich soil texture likely leads to less compaction-induced subsidence as compared to organic-rich substrates and facilitates surface equilibrium in response to sea level rise. Despite a relatively high soil bulk density, soil carbon (C) density of the SMF is very low owing to the dearth of preserved organic content. However, rates of C accumulation are balanced out by locally high accretion rates, rendering the SMF a greater sink of terrestrial C than the worldwide mangrove average. The findings of this study demonstrate that C accumulation in the SMF, and possibly other alluvial mangrove forests, is highly dependent on the continued delivery of sediment to the mangrove platform and associated settings.

Published: July 2020

Depression is considered to be one of the most prevalent mental disorders in humans. Antidepressant drugs are released in large concentrations and cause adverse effects on the environment and/or human health. Fabric Phase Sorptive Extraction (FPSE), a contemporary solid sorbent-handling technique, is a quick, sensitive, and simple analytical process. This paper describes a micro-extraction FPSE procedure coupled with High-Performance Liquid-Chromatography–Photodiode Array Detection (FPSE-HPLC–DAD) for the simultaneous extraction and analysis of five antidepressants, namely citalopram, clozapine, mirtazapine, bupropion and sertraline. Three fabric media (Whatman Cellulose filter, Whatman Microfiber Glass filter and Polylactic acid disks) and two different sol–gel sorbents (polyethylene glycol (PEG 300), alongside poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(propylene glycol)-block-poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG-PPG-PEG 5.800)) were tested. The best FPSE device was observed to be the microfiber glass filter coated with PEG 300 sol–gel sorbent. In addition, the parameters that affect the efficiency of the process (FPSE media and sorbents, sample pH, extraction time, elution time, etc.) were optimized. The proposed methodology displays a linear range with absolute recovery values higher than 60%, RSD% of less than 13% and LOQs in the range between 1.9–10.7 μg·L−1. Finally, the method was applied in hospital and urban effluents and lake water samples, but none of the analytes were detected.

Published: July 2020

Over the last few years, team sports increased the amount of physical demand and its importance. Therefore, work related to physical fitness and its assessment is essential to achieving success. However, there are few studies on this subject at the formative stage. The purpose of this study was then to analyze the physical fitness of an under-18 (U18) women’s team divided by game positions. In addition, physical fitness at different times of the season was characterized to identify differences and determine its evolution. To assess physical fitness, tests of aerobic and anaerobic capacities, lower body strength, centripetal force, agility and speed were carried out as designed in the SBAFIT battery. Each player was equipped with an inertial microtechnology device for the collection of data. This research is classified as empirical, with quasi-experimental methodology. The results showed significant differences in variables of the test of aerobic and anaerobic capacities, speed, agility (generic and specific), and centripetal force (right) based on game position and the moment of the season. The results also showed the importance of the specific physical aspect in relation to an optimal improvement in physical fitness, since training sessions and competition do not allow all players to improve equally or efficiently.

Published: July 2020

Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) is a major pathogen for diarrheal diseases among children. Antibiotics, when used appropriately, are effective; however, their overuse and misuse have led to the rise of antibiotic resistance worldwide. Thus, there are renewed efforts into the development of phage therapy as an alternative antibacterial therapy. Because EPEC in vivo models have shortcomings, a surrogate is used to study the mouse pathogen Citrobacter rodentium in animal models. In this study, two new phages CrRp3 and CrRp10, which infect C. rodentium, were isolated and characterized. CrRp3 was found to be a new species within the genus Vectrevirus, and CrRp10 is a new strain within the species Escherichia virus Ime09, in the genus Tequatrovirus. Both phages appear to have independently evolved from E. coli phages, rather than other Citrobacter spp. phages. Neither phage strain carries known genes associated with bacterial virulence, antibiotic resistance, or lysogeny. CrRp3 is more potent, having a 24-fold faster adsorption rate and shorter lytic cycle when compared to the same properties of CrRp10. However, a lysis curve analysis revealed that CrRp10 prevented growth of C. rodentium for 18 h, whereas resistance developed against CrRp3 within 9 h. We also show that hypoxic (5% oxygen) conditions decreased CrRp3 ability to control bacterial densities in culture. In contrast, low oxygen conditions did not affect CrRp10 ability to replicate on C. rodentium. Together, CrRp10 is likely to be the better candidate for future phage therapy investigations.

Published: July 2020

Hipertensi (silent killer) merupakan suatu keadaan dimana adanya peningkatan tekanan darah baik systole maupun diastole yang abnormal. Kondisi ini yang menimbulkan kecemasan pada pasien hipertensi. Kecemasan yang dialami pasien hipertensi justru akan memperburuk kondisi hipertensinya. Penatalaksanaan kecemasan pada pasien hipertensi terdiri dari terapi farmakologi dan non farmakologi. Salah satu terapi non farmakologi yang bisa digunakan adalah wet cupping (bekam). Bekam akan menstimulus sekresi hormon ?-endorphin yang akan memberikan efek anti nyeri dan juga efek anxiolityc (anti cemas). Dengan demikian, peneliti melakukan penelitian lebih lanjut, terkait wet cupping (bekam) dalam penurunan kecemasan pada pasien hipertensi. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain penelitian pre-experiment dengan model rancangan pre-post test, dengan jumlah responden 25 orang. Instrumen dalam penelitian ini dengan menggunakan kuesioner Zung-Self Anxiety Rating Scale (ZSAS) dengan 20 pertanyaan. Analisis penelitian menggunakan uji normalitas dengan menggunakan Shapiro-Wilk dan analisis uji Paired T-test. Hasil analisis menunjukan bahwa terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan dengan nilai p-value 0.000. Sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa wet cupping (bekam) efektif untuk menurunkan kecemasan pada pasien hipertensi di Posbindu PTM Wijaya Kusuma Taskombang Palbapang Kecamatan Bantul Kabupaten Bantul Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta. Diharapkan peneliti selanjutnya dapat melakukan penelitian dengan menambah variabel atau pada penyakit yang berbeda.

 

Hypertension (silent killer) is a condition where there is an increase in blood pressure both systole and diastole which is abnormal. This condition causes problems in hypertensive patients. Hypertension will worsen the condition of hypertension. Management is completed in hypertensive patients consisting of pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies. One non-pharmacological therapy that can be used is wet cupping. Wet Cupping will stimulate the secretion of the hormone ?-endorphin which will provide an anti-pain effect and also anxiolityc (anti-anxiety) effect. Thus, researchers conducted further research, related to wet cupping. This study used a pre-experimental research design with a pre-post test design model, with 25 respondents. The instrument in this study used the Zung-Self Anxiety Rating Scale (ZSAS) questionnaire with 20 questions. Analysis of the study used a normality test using Shapiro-Wilk and paired T-test analysis. The analysis showed a significant difference with a p-value of 0,000. Wet cupping (cupping) is effective for reducing risk in hypertensive patients in Posbindu PTM Wijaya Kusuma Taskombang Palbapang, Bantul, Special Region of Yogyakarta. It is hoped that further researchers can conduct research by adding variables or in different diseases.
Born in the Mediterranean: Comprehensive Taxonomic Revision of Biscutella ser. Biscutella (Brassicaceae) Based on Morphological and Phylogenetic Data
Authors: Vicente Alicia , Alonso Mª Ángeles , Crespo Manuel B.
Published: July 2020

Biscutella L. ser. Biscutella (= Biscutella ser. Lyratae Malin.) comprises mostly annual or short-lived perennial plants occurring in the Mediterranean basin and the Middle East, which exhibit some diagnostic floral features. Taxa in the series have considerable morphological plasticity, which is not well correlated with clear geographic or ecologic patterns. Traditional taxonomic accounts have focused on a number of vegetative and floral characters that have proved to be highly variable, a fact that contributed to taxonomic inflation mostly in northern Africa. A detailed study and re-evaluation of morphological characters, together with recent phylogenetic data based on concatenation of two plastid and one nuclear region sequence data, yielded the basis for a taxonomic reappraisal of the series. In this respect, a new comprehensive integrative taxonomic arrangement for Biscutella ser. Biscutella is presented in which 10 taxa are accepted, namely seven species and three additional varieties. The name B. eriocarpa DC. is reinterpreted and suggested to include the highest morphological variation found in northern Morocco. Its treatment here accepts two varieties, one of which is described as new (B. eriocarpa var. riphaea A. Vicente, M. Á. Alonso & M. B. Crespo). In addition, the circumscriptions of several species, such as B. boetica Boiss. & Reut., B. didyma L., B. lyrata L., and B. maritima Ten., are revisited. Nomenclatural types, synonymy, brief descriptions, cytogenetic data, conservation status, distribution maps, and identification keys are included for the accepted taxa, with seven lectotypes and one epitype being designated here.

Background: The present study aims to assess the incidence and mortality rates of gynecological cancers and their changes from 1990 to 2016 at national and subnational levels in Iran. Methods: Annual estimates of incidence and mortality for gynecological cancers from 1990 to 2016 at national and subnational levels were generated as part of a larger project entitled National and Subnational Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors (NASBOD). After the precise processing of data extracted from the Iran Cancer Registry, annual age-standardized incidence and mortality rates were calculated for each cancer, province, year and age group during the period of the study. Results: In 2016, gynecological cancers constituted 8.0% of new cancer cases among women of all ages compared to 3.7% of new cases of cancer among women in 1990. The incidence rate of gynecological cancers has increased from 2.5 (0.9-5.6) per 100000 women in 1990 to 12.3 (9.3–15.7) per 100000 women in 2016, and the most common gynecological cancer has changed from cervical cancer in 1990 to corpus uteri cancer in 2016. Age-standardized incidence rates of ovarian, corpus uteri and vulvovaginal cancers increased from 1.3 (0.5–2.4), 1.7 (0.6–3.0), and 0.3 (0.0–0.7) in 1990 to 4.4 (3.6–5.2), 9.9 (6.8–13.4), and 0.6 (0.2–1.0) in 2016, respectively, showing a 3.3, 5.8 and 1.7-fold increase during this period. Age-standardized incidence rate of cervical cancer was 2.4 (1.7–3.3) cases per 100000 women in 2016 and did not differ significantly from the beginning of the study. An overall reduction was seen in national mortality to incidence ratios (MIR) from 2000 to 2015. Conclusion: The incidence rates of all gynecological cancers in different provinces have shown a converging trend that could indicate that attempts toward health equality have been effective. The declining trend of MIR could be interpreted as advancements in detection of cancer in its early stages and also improvements in treatments, in turn reflecting improvements in access to and quality of care.

This study was conducted to investigate if the nutritional value of fish silage could improve the growth performance, feed utilization, carcass yield and sensory quality of the meat of broilers. An oven-dried fish silage: soybean meal mixture (1:1 w/w) was used to prepare four diets with different levels of inclusion (0%, 10%, 20% and 30%), which were tested in a randomized design for triplicate with 120 broilers in natural conditions of production. The inclusion of fish silage: soybean mixture on diets did not adversely affect the productive parameters of growth, feed intake and feed conversion ratio after 28 experimental days (P>0.05) than those obtained on control diets. No significant effects were observed on carcass yield, chemical composition and sensory quality attributes of broilers meat between different treatments (P>0.05).

In This Paper, an Indoor navigation system is proposed for persons with visually disability that utilize VLC (Visible Light Communication) Technology. Using VLC we can provide precise locational coordinates or directions regarding their journey. Light Fidelity (Li-Fi) refers to the VLC technology. VLC is based on the concept that uses visible light as a means of communication enabling faster flow of information [1]. The principle of VLC is that it uses light as a medium to deliver high speed communication. The main idea is to create internal navigation system for the area to create automatic navigation for the visitor who are visually challenged. The Li-Fi is preferred over Wi-Fi because Wi-Fi is nothing but radio-telecommunication which effective within premises, while Li-Fi is effective for faster communication in restricted places without any hurdles. The concept of Li-Fi is used to give the navigation path for visually challenged person and particularly voice guidance of the walk way. Headphone is used to give the voice message to such people. The data is transmitted through the LED light which emits the visible light and an embedded system accepts from receiver. The received data is converted into audio format for the blind people. The suitability of system has been confirmed by means of useful prototype through a trail with blind person.

First of the practical defiance's in unsystematized electrical networks is Congestion management. Two manners of percussions used in Congestion management are frill manners and cost free manners. In this paper work congestion is released by using cost free manners seeing (Flexible AC Transmission Systems) FACTS controller like SVC (Static Var compensator), STATCOM, TCSC (Thyristor controlled series Compensator), and SSSC (Static Synchronous Series Compensators) devices. Manifold-objective functions are presumed for congestion management. Small signal stability, voltage profile, and Real power loss reduction are considered objective functions in this paper. The optimal placement of FACTS controller are institute by using sensitivity founded Eigen value analysis and Continuation Power Flow (CPF). The suggested algorithm has used to define optimal placement of FACTS controller and deciphering optimal power flow (OPF) to advance voltage profile and minimize the real power losses within real and reactive power generation margin. The recital analysis has been implemented for IEEE 39 bus test system using MATLAB/PSAT (toolbox) software. Results display the suggested technique has a competency to advance the “Voltage profile, small signal stability, Loss minimization”.
Dinamika Maskulinitas dan Femininitas: Representasi Hubungan Amerika Serikat dan Jepang dalam Film Anime Banana Fish
Authors: Azzahra Yuelfa , Pasaribu Rouli Esther
Published: July 2020

Penelitian ini membahas bagaimana Jepang, Amerika dan hubungan kedua negara tersebut direpresentasikan dalam anime Banana Fish serta apa gagasan yang berada di balik representasi tersebut. Penulis menggunakan metode deskriptif analisis dan teori representasi dari Stuart Hall dan konsep gender dari Kite, penerapan konsep gender terhadap hubungan Amerika dan Jepang dari Dower. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dalam anime Banana Fish, Amerika dan Jepang digambarkan sebagai oposisi biner. Amerika sebagai pihak maskulin, direpresentasikan kuat, superior dan penuh kekerasan, sementara Jepang sebagai pihak feminim, direpresentasikan lemah, inferior dan cinta damai. Banana Fish merepresentasikan hubungan Amerika dan Jepang sebagai hubungan saling bergantung, di mana Amerika cenderung melindungi Jepang dan Jepang menyediakan dukungan untuk Amerika, seperti bagaimana femininitas dan maskulinitas diposisikan dalam relasi gender. Tetapi, film animasi Banana Fish juga menunjukkan bahwa di satu sisi terdapat pergeseran bahwa sebenarnya Jepang perlahan mendapatkan maskulinitasnya yang merujuk kepada gagasan untuk merevisi konstitusi Jepang, sebuah peninggalan Amerika pada masa okupasinya di Jepang. Dari pembacaan terhadap teks Banana Fish, dapat dikatakan bahwa Banana Fish menunjukkan refleksi dari dinamika hubungan Amerika-Jepang dan pergerakan perjanjian keamanan Amerika-Jepang.

Kata Kunci: Representasi, anime Banana Fish, hubungan Amerika-Jepang, femininitas, maskulinitas.

This research is based on the view of the deliberation forum in the village which should be able to provide dialogue space and community involvement as the subject of development planning, however, the facts that are seen are that the community in Maguwoharjo village is still seen as an object of development planning and the essence of the deliberation forum in the public sphere in the village has not been able to reflect in full by the people in the area. This study aims to analyze the factors that influence deliberation in development planning deliberations and analyze points of weakness in the deliberation process in Maguwoharjo village. The method in this study uses qualitative research methods with data analysis techniques using NVivo12plus software. The results showed that the leadership factor had a percentage of around 36% in influencing community involvement, the socio-cultural factor in the village had a percentage of around 15% where each figure involved had a dominant view that was very thick with Javanese Culture, from the aspect of communication, had a percentage of around 13% in conveying the interests of village development, then, local political factors have a percentage of around 13%, where every participant involved in the village consultation forum has the same interest in development in his area. This study found that the leadership factor was very dominant in influencing the community to be actively involved in the village discussion forum and still found several weaknesses in the deliberation process in the village.
AC losses of no-insulation high temperature superconductor (RE)Ba2Cu3Ox coils induced by ripple magnetic fields in machines
Authors: Wang Yawei
Published: July 2020

No-insulation high temperature superconductor (NI HTS) (RE)Ba2Cu3Ox
coil technology is effective in enhancing the thermal stability of
HTS coils. Applying the NI technique on the rotor windings of HTS machines can
improve the stability and reliability of the machines. However, the NI HTS
rotor windings experience ripple magnetic fields, which leads to induced eddy
currents through the turn-to-turn contacts. The accompanying turn-to-turn losses
will considerably affect the machine efficiency. In this study, we compared experimentally
the losses of NI HTS coils subjected to external AC magnetic fields with those of
insulated coils. Measurement system
based on calibration-free method is developed for the AC loss measurement on
HTS coils exposed to external AC magnetic fields. The results show that the
AC loss of NI HTS coils can be 20 times higher than that of insulated HTS coils, and lowering turn-to-turn resistivity
can significantly reduce this AC loss. Modeling analysis shows that most of induced current flows in the outer turns of the NI HTS coil
because of skin effect, and lower turn-to-turn resistivity leads to higher
induced current in superconducting layers and more significant accumulation of
turn-to-turn loss. This will increase quench risk.
Optimization of turn-to-turn resistivity is required when the NI HTS coil is
applied in the machines environments.
