Vibration response analysis of an aircraft structure in terms of crashworthiness by using differential transformation method
Authors: Soysal Aysun , Ozkol İbrahim , Uzal Erol
Published: September 2024

Due to importance of certification procedure and safety of occupants, crashworthiness is one of the most principal elements to be considered in the design and production of civil and military aircrafts. In the component level, the crashworthiness of an aircraft structure is significantly affected by many factors including the cross-section of the aircraft structure, boundary conditions of the aircraft structure, and applied crush loading to the aircraft structure. The aim of this study is to contribute to the literature on improving the design of aircraft structures in order to increase the energy absorption properties of the aircraft structures and therefore support the crashworthiness capability of the structures by performing vibration analysis. In this context, after deriving the governing equations of an aircraft structure exposed to an axial crush loading, three different applications are conducted to investigate the effects of the axial crush loading on the dynamic characteristics of the aircraft structure. The findings of the study concluded that vibration characteristics of an aircraft structure subjected to an axial crush loading are affected by the boundary conditions of the structure, material of the structure, cross-section of the structure, magnitude of the axial load applied to the structure, and direction of the axial load applied to the structure. In addition, the findings showed that the response of the structure under ultimate axial crush loading varies depending on the geometriy of the structure, material of the structure and the direction of the ultimate axial crush loading applied to the structure.

Authors: Claudia Zulian
Published: September 2024

The advancement of technology in the Society 5.0 era has led to the negative impact of personal data breaches, causing significant losses in the business sector due to the critical role of personal data. However, research on dispute resolution methods for personal data protection remains limited. This study aims to analyze the legal protection of consumer personal data and the methods of dispute resolution available in cases of personal data protection disputes. Using a normative legal research method, the study finds that the government has enacted the Personal Data Protection Law as a form of preventive and repressive protection. Additionally, the law provides the parties with the option to resolve disputes through arbitration. These findings demonstrate legal certainty in personal data protection in Indonesia, with implications for the business sector in utilizing more flexible dispute resolution mechanisms.

Authors: Hakim Lukman , Endro Purwoleksono Didik
Published: September 2024

This study examines the urgency of transformative justice in handling juvenile cases as part of legal reform in Indonesia. The research employs normative legal methods with statutory, conceptual, and case approaches. The importance of this research lies in identifying the need to expand the concept of restorative justice, which focuses solely on the offender and victim, towards transformative justice that also considers social, political, economic, and cultural aspects. The findings reveal that transformative justice offers a new alternative in the juvenile criminal justice system by not only focusing on the severity of the offense but also considering the personal circumstances of the child, including social status and family conditions. The implications of this concept show that transformative justice supports the more comprehensive development of children and serves as a more holistic approach to recovery in handling juvenile cases.

Authors: Windu Natalia Siska , Darmawan Hutag Henry
Published: September 2024

This study focuses on analyzing the bankruptcy of state-owned enterprises (BUMN Persero), highlighting the limits of state liability in the bankruptcy petition of PT. Garuda Indonesia. This research is important as it explores the research gap regarding the relationship between separated state assets and state liability in BUMN bankruptcies. The objective is to thoroughly examine the boundaries of state responsibility in the context of BUMN bankruptcy, specifically in the case of PT. Garuda Indonesia. The methodology employed is normative legal research, with secondary data analysis from various relevant regulations, such as the State Finance Law, the BUMN Law, the Bankruptcy Law, and the Company Law. The key findings reveal that the transformation of state assets into BUMN assets severs the burden and liability of the state as a public legal entity, making PT. Garuda Indonesia's bankruptcy is a business loss rather than a fiscal risk or state loss. The implication is that the state is only liable to the extent of its shareholding.

Developing Students’ Readiness for Musical Improvisation in the Context of Selected Assumptions of Edwin E. Gordon’s Music Learning Theory
Authors: Kołodziejski Maciej
Published: September 2024

The article is an attempt to highlight selected assumptions of Edwin E. Gordon’s music learning theory in the context of developing readiness for music improvisation at school and outside school. Improvisation is, in this case, understood as one of the instruments of interpersonal communication, which can be developed through musical dialogue using tonal and rhythm patterns. The article is also a subjective presentation of the values inherent in the theory of music learning in the context of developing the above-mentioned readiness for music improvisation in students of different ages. Developing readiness for musical improvisation involves assimilating tonal and rhythm patterns into the students’ musical vocabulary so that they can participate in musical dialogue with others. This happens thanks to students’ active experience of music in an individual and social context. In developing readiness for musical improvisation, the student begins by actively listening, repeating and assimilating musical motifs, which, in music, are the starting point for complex mental operations related to musical audiation, which, to a musician, is what thinking is to language. The effect of applying the concept of improvisation suggested in the theory of music learning will be to increase the creative, expressive and improvisational activity of students in the process of music education and to develop the tonal, rhythm and melodic vocabulary necessary to independently undertake creative and improvisational activity with full awareness, taking into account the processes of musical audiation.
Recognizing Modal Versions of Tonality by Students of Preschool and Early Childhood Education
Authors: Zwolińska Ewa Anna , Trzos Paweł
Published: September 2024

The vast majority of preschool and early childhood teachers admit that they have problems with implementing musical issues. Experimental research indicates that the inability to sing, move to music, differentiate tonality and meter, improvise, read and write down music, is mainly caused by deficits in audiation. The article focuses on research results regarding the effectiveness of recognizing a melody presented instrumentally in eight tonalities: 1. Major; 2. Dorian; 3. Phrygian; 4. Lydian; 5. Mixolydian; 6. Aeolian; 7. Harmonic Minor; 8. Locrian. Due to the purpose of the research, the rhythmic content of all versions was the same, and the procedure used allowed for comparing students’ attention by determining the time of receiving (listening to) the melodic line and the moment at which they gave the answer. Listening skills help develop critical thinking skills, which are important in any form of communication: speaking, singing, reading, writing or synthesizing information.

EVAPORITES AND CARBONATES; TWO DEVONIAN BASINS OF WESTERN CANADA
Authors: Fuller J. G. C. M. , Porter J. W.
Published: September 2024

Evaporites and carbonates deposited in two Devonian basins of western Canada occur as (1) peripheral evaporites with basin-filling carbonate, or (2) peripheral carbonate with basin-filling evaporite, and reefs.

The Upper Devonian (D-1) Stettler Formation provides an example of a limestone-filled basin on the periphery of which are evaporites (microdolomite, nodular anhydrite, some halite) having those characteristics which we associate with modern sabkhas of the Arabian Gulf.

Deposits associated with the first stage of reef growth in the Upper Elk Point basin (Middle Devonian) provide an example of the second kind. The sedimentary units were deposited as follows: 1, platform; 2, reef, ending with laminar dolomite on both reef and basin-floor; 3, bituminous calcitic and anhydritic laminites on basin-floor (not on reef-sites); and 4, laminar halite filling interreef tracts nearly to reef-top level. During calcitic laminite and salt accumulation the reefs were sub-aerially exposed. Further reef stages supervened.
DIFFERENTIAL COMPACTIONS AROUND A LEDUC REEF — WIZARD LAKE AREA, ALBERTA
Authors: Labute G. J. , Gretener P. E.
Published: September 2024

The Leduc reefs of Central Alberta are surrounded by the Ireton shales. In this stratigraphic interval, differential compaction has induced structure in the overlying formations. We have analysed the structural deformation of the strata above the Wizard Lake reef. In this area Lower Cretaceous rocks lie unconformably on Upper Devonian strata. Removal of the Upper Paleozoic beds has resulted in the loss of part of the compaction record. A quantitative study of the change of structure with depth allows us to estimate the maximum thickness of sediment eroded. For the Wizard Lake area we find that this is about 1750 ft. Reconstruction of a regional cross-section indicates this to be a reasonable value.

Background: Cassava peel is one of the largest agricultural wastes in Nigeria, and it is generated by processing cassava tubers for human and industrial use. This project study compared the bioethanol produced from cassava peel using Saccharomyces cerevisiae ATCC 204508/S288c and Aspergillus niger isolated from onion bulbs.
Methods: Proximate analysis was done on the peels using standard methods of analyses of the Associ-ation of Official Analytical Chemists (AOAC). Fermentation for bioethanol production was done for 6 days using submerged fermentation. Parameters such as ethanol yield, substrate concentration and pH were optimised for bioethanol production. The pH was determined using standard techniques. Ethanol yield was measured via spectrophotometer and ethanol standard curve techniques.
Results: Proximate composition showed the following: moisture (9.75± 0.55 %), crude ash (3.12± 0.25 %), crude fibre (9.50± 0.01 %), crude fat (1.50±0.05 %), protein (2.54± 0.06 %), carbohydrate (73.50 ± 0.05 %). pH ranged from 4.50±0.25 to 3.20±0.30 for S. cerevisiae, and A. niger ranged from 4.50±0.30 to 3.20±0.04. Ethanol yield for S. cerevisiae ranged from 18.50±0.05b to 28.03±0.45a with a concen-tration of 30 g/ml having the highest at Day 4 and 30 g/ml having the lowest at Day 1 and A. niger ranging from 17.00±0.50b to 27.54±0.05b with concentration 30 g/ml having the highest at Day 4 and 10 g/ml having the lowest at Day 1.
Conclusion: This research, therefore, indicates that cassava peel could serve as a cheap and promising substrate for bioethanol production using S. cerevisiae and A. niger.

Background: Arsenic contamination of underground drinking water has become a major global environmental concern. Studies have linked the consumption of water contaminated by arsenic to myriads of disease outcomes through unknown mechanisms.
Methods: In the present study, the possible effects of varying concentrations of arsenic added to drinking water were on energy- metabolizing enzymes (hexokinase, aldolase, lactate dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase, Complex I, Complex II, Complex III, and Complex IV) in the lymphocytes and brains of male albino rats. Periodic acid Schiff stain and Feulgen reaction techniques were also used to assess hepatic glycogen level and the possibility of hepatic DNA damage, respectively. Male Wistar rats (n=45) were exposed to arsenic added to drinking water at 100, 150, and 200 ppm for 4, 8, and 12 weeks. Rats in the control group (n=5) received distilled water. At the end of the experimental period, blood was taken via cardiac puncture, and the brain and liver were also excised for biochemical and histological studies.
Results: Exposure to arsenic resulted in significant (p < 0.05) body weight loss with a concomitant increase in the relative brain and liver weights. A significant time- and dose-dependent (p < 0.05) inhibition of the activities of lymphocyte hexokinase and aldolase, lymphocyte and brain malate dehydrogenase, as well as complexes I, II, III, IV in both the lymphocyte and brain was the hallmark of arsenic exposure. Histological studies indicated that arsenic exposure also led to the depletion of hepatic glycogen storage in the liver and marked DNA damage in the arsenic-exposed animals relative to control.
Conclusion: These findings indicate that arsenic perturbed the activities of energy-metabolizing enzymes, which may be one mechanism of arsenic-induced toxicity.
Incretins in healthy and type 2 diabetic people

Nell’ultima decade abbiamo osservato sempre maggiormente la diffusione e l’utilizzo di farmaci analoghi recettoriali degli ormoni incretinici nella gestione e nel trattamento di soggetti con diabete mellito tipo 2 ed affetti da obesità. Infatti dalla pubblicazione sul New England Journal of Medicine dello studio Leader nel 2016, che valutava gli effetti cardiovascolari della liraglutide, numerose ulteriori evidenze hanno confermato i benefici clinici degli analoghi recettoriali singoli e doppi di tali ormoni. Ma quale è il ruolo specifico di tali molecole (Glucagon-like Peptide-1 [GLP-1] e Glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide [ GIP]) nell’uomo? Dopo aver affrontato in un precedente numero di JAMD la storia della scoperta delle incretine, in questa rassegna descriviamo quale sia il principale contributo di tali molecole nei soggetti sani ed il ruolo fisiopatologico nei soggetti affetti da diabete mellito tipo 2, riportando gli esiti delle ricerche che hanno posto le basi per il successivo sviluppo degli analoghi singoli e doppi degli ormoni del sistema incretinico. PAROLE CHIAVE incretine; glucagon-like peptide 1 [GLP-1]; glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide [GIP]; ruolo fisiologico; omeostasi del glucosio.
Spazi e tempi della libertà economica
Authors: Todeschini Giacomo
Published: September 2024

The author focuses on the urban world to reformulate the question traditionally interpreted in terms of the entrepreneurial freedom of late medieval merchants: even in this context the notion of libertas, rather than absolutely defining the economic action of groups or people, was related in terms functional to their social and political qualities. The analysis of Italian city legislation, in particular of the regulations of the arts and of the market, highlights how the different degrees of belonging to the civitas guaranteed the spaces for economic action and commercial times: full freedom remained firmly in the hands of a few family groups and privileged while in the market squares of Italian cities farmers, artisans and traders and the vast world of subordinate work were destined to remain subordinate actors.

Appunti sull’emigrazione bergamasca nelle città della terraferma veneta nel Quattrocento (con particolare riferimento a Verona)
Authors: Varanini Gian Maria
Published: September 2024

The author takes as an example the emigration from Bergamo to offer a picture of its insertion in the Venetian mainland in the fifteenth century, focusing in particular on immigration in those centers which were happily defined by Giorgio Chittolini with the category of "quasi cities": compared to the studies previous ones, the author pays greater attention to the know-how of the Bergamo immigrants who managed to emerge in these places, achieving lasting success over several generations.
Slavi, albanesi e greci nel regno meridionale nella seconda metà del XV secolo
Authors: Tricarico Gabriella
Published: September 2024

The author examines the immigration of Slavs, Albanians and Greeks into the kingdom of Naples following the arrival of the Ottomans in the Balkan peninsula, paying attention to those who were responsible for their placement and indeed their exploitation. Based on the analysis of incomplete sources, the author extended the analysis to the long period up to the 16th century, highlighting what the policies adopted over time were and what the relationships of the groups in question with the society in which they were inserted , proposing some new research paths such as the existing conflicts between immigrants of different generations within communities.

Authors: Del Bo Beatrice G.M.
Published: September 2024

The author focuses on minorities eager for their professional skills, in exchange for which the cities offered privileges and special treatments. The analysis focuses on what were the methods of insertion of these immigrants into the social and economic fabric and what were the tools adopted to encourage their transfer and consequent rooting.
Cittadinanza e diritti nelle città italiane del basso medioevo: dalla classificazione alla selezione
Authors: Vallerani Massimo
Published: September 2024

The author proposes a classification of the mechanisms of citizenship in "popolo" regimes, placing them against the background of belonging to the civic body without participation, the result of the rigidification of the political and social system in the first decades of the 14th century. The contribution investigates what the definition of all the cives was according to what emerges from the lists prepared by the municipalities, how they were evaluated on the basis of the estimates and land registers, how they could negotiate their status, and how the exclusion mechanisms adopted worked .
