Agricultural Extension agents must acquire certain competencies so as to perform well in doing their jobs. Competencies were the combination of knowledge, skills and abilities. Competencies both had intellectual as well as practical dimensions that were served as the bases of the agents’ professional expertise, especially in promoting their clientele well being. As knowledge, technology and work environment changed, the Agricultural agents should also adjust their competencies. In this conjunction, the Agricultural agents’ working environment in the seven sub-districts in the district of Bekasi had tremendously changed in the last thirty years. A vast area of well-irrigated rice fields had been converted into industrial as well as urban estates. This in turn created a lot of small and land less farmers who no longer practice rice cultivation as before. Consequently, the agents’ client profiles were subsequently changed as well. The research question then, “What were the Agricultural Agents’ needed competencies so as to serve these people well?” To address this question, a descriptive study was implemented in those sub-districts. Twenty-six Agricultural Agents were interviewed. The obtained results pointed out that the agents perceived that: (1) Extension Program Development, (2) Promotion of Farmers’ Participation, (3) Conducting Education for Farmers, (4) Organizing Farmers, (5) Agricultural Information, (6) Socio-economic aspects of Agriculture, (7) Agricultural Subject Matter, and (8) Communication, as the competencies that they needed.

Ibarat orang buta yang sedang menduga-duga seekor binatang yang bernama Gajah, maka suatu objek amatan dapat diinterpretasikan bermacam-macam sesuai sudut pandang dan kemampuan orang tersebut. Apabila yang dipegang oleh orang buta tersebut adalah belalai si Gajah, maka ia menyimpulkan bahwa Gajah adalah binatang yang bulat panjang, dan tidak bisa diam. Apabila yang dipegang kebetulan adalah salah satu kakinya, maka ia dapat menyimpulkan bahwa gajah adalah binatang yang kokoh bagaikan tiang listrik yang biasa mereka pegang dipinggir jalan. Demikian seterusnya. Sama dengan analogi orang buta memegang gajah, maka masalah-masalah penyuluhan pertanian yang dihadapi bangsa kita akan beragam sesuai dengan sudut pandang dan dasar keilmuan yang ditekuni. Menemukan masalah-masalah penyuluhan bukan sarana untuk mendebat bahkan menyalahkan orang lain, tetapi mencari solusi demi perbaikan kegiatan penyuluhan di Indonesia. Berikut akan diuraikan masalah-masalah penyuluhan yang telah terjadi dan sedang terjadi ditinjau dari kacamata Ilmu Penyuluhan Pembangunan

Community of fishermen is one of social segments who considered as having daily life worse than other social segments, such as farmers, factory labourers, etc. Certain efforts can be done to improve the level of life of the fishermen, i.e to increase their production of fish. The way which can be done is by improving the unit of productive assets so that it can increase motivation of the fishermen for better behavior. Recently fishermen are not able to go out from their miserable socio economic situation, mainly due to (a) bargaining position weakness, (b) lacking of capital, (c) low level of knowledge and skill, (d) lacking of supervision, (e) no guarantee of promising market. Based on those evidence it is worth to study the relationship between fishermen motivation and their behavior to increase production of fish.
Penyuluhan Pendamping Partisipatif
Authors: Padmowihardjo Soedijanto
Published: May 2017

Penyuluhan pertanian adalah proses pemberdayaan petani, bukan lagi sebagai proses transfer teknologi kepada petani seperti pada masa Revolusi Hijau yang lalu. Pemberdayaan atau empowerment berasal dari kata empower yang makna sebenarnya adalah “to give official authority or legal power, capacity, to make one able to do something.” Dengan demikian pemberdayaan dapat diartikan sebagai suatu proses kapasitasi atau pengembangan kapasitas SDM. Dengan kapasitas seseorang akan memiliki kemandirian, tahan uji, pintar, jujur, berkemampuan kreatif, produktif, emansipa-tif, tidak tergantung, pro-aktif, dinamis, terbuka dan bertanggung jawab dalam mengatasi semua masalah dan menjawab tantangan untuk mencapai kemajuan.

Pertanyaan besar yang diangkat dan dibahas Penulis adalah seberapa „mesra‟ hubungan antara negara dengan penduduk/ warga negara perempuan. Artinya, bagaimana perempuan diberi tempat atau mengambil tempat dan memberi warna dalam kehidupan bernegara, dan dari sisi sebaliknya, bagaimana negara memosisikan dan memperlakukan perempuan. Ini tercermin dari pikiran dan perilaku para negarawan dan birokrat publik serta dari kebijakan-kebijakan yang diproduksinya. Dalam hal ini, panggung negara masih didominasi oleh politisi dan birokrat laki-laki . Konsekuensinya, kebijakan yang dihasilkan dapat berpotensi meminggirkan perempuan.

The Green Revolutions failure caused many farmer groups to cease their activities, even though they had to fulfill many needs. This situation created a need to develop a model for group survival. With those afore mentioned background, this research was conducted. Data was collected in September and October 2005 involving rice, soybean, corn and vegetables farmer groups in the east, central and west Java. The research findings pointed out that there was a relationship between the group survival and their adaptation, goal attainment, integration and latency functions. The group survival rates were higher in central and east Java than in west Java. Additionally, the vegetable and rice farmer group survival rates were higher than the soybean and corn farmer groups. The adaptation, the goal attainment and the integration functions were more strategic for farmer groups in the west and east Java and also for vegetable farmer groups such as soybean and corn group wereas the strategic function were adaptation and integration.

Keprihatinan bangsa yang tengah dilanda krisis dalam berbagai aspek kehidupan membuat peran pendidikan, khususnya di sekolah-sekolah dipertanyakan. Begitu pula peran kegiatan penyuluhan dalam proses pembangunan bangsa masih sering dipertanyakan. Dengan melihat kondisi realitas yang ada, seperti maraknya tawuran pelajar, merebaknya kasus narkoba, dan beberapa perilaku yang menyimpang dari norma-norma agama dan budaya, seperti pergaulan bebas, membuat peran pendidikan dan penyuluhan semakin dipertanyakan. Seolah pendidikan di sekolahlah yang bertanggungjawab terhadap berbagai permasalahan yang menyelimuti generasi penerus bangsa pada khususnya, dan masyarakat pada umumnya. Pendidikan dan penyuluhan sering pula dijadikan sebagai kambing hitam terhadap ketidakberhasilan dalam membentuk moral bangsa.

Street child problems, like iceberge phenomenon, of which the regional pockets, the distribution and the age tremendously increase day by day. Since 1997 the government of Indonesia through the Social Ministry has been carrying out efforts to overcome the problems, but up to now the efforts have not yielded the expected results because of the limited information of the problems. The present research was addressed to provide informations on the phenomenon profiles of street children and strategies for their elimination in Bandung, Bogor and Jakarta. Data were collected using structured interviews, focus group discussion and direct observation. The collected data were analysed using parametric and non-parametric statistics. Population were street children, 5-21 years of age. Sample in each region was consisted of 75 persons, 50 males and 25 famales, drawn using cluster random sampling  technique, and 25 parents of  the respondens as a cross check. The influence of family background on the street children behavior, direct or indirectly, was more obvious compared to that of  environmental background. The latter was indirect through sociologic characteristics of the street children particularly on the non formal education. Strategy for elimination of the street children could be equally applied for the whole regions, except for its approach, which can use the TRIBINA, which means  Human Building, Environmental Building and Efforts Building could be employed.

Mapping Utopias: From New Babylon to Black Rock City
Authors: Novakov Anna
Published: May 2017

New Utopian plans for liberated urban spaces emerged during the post-war era with the work of the Lettrist (LI), Situationist International (SI), and specifically Constant Nieuwenhuys, a Dutch painter turned architect and sculptor who understood urban planning as intimately linked to nomadism, play and creativity. Influenced by the bombed detritus of European capitals and the possibilities of new technology, Constant’s plans for a future society were post-revolutionary, with unseen automated factory production and spaces for innovation that were elevated on stilts. Constant’s conflicting ideas are referenced and emulated in Black Rock City – a short-term encampment erected every year for the Burning Man festival in the desert of Nevada. These multileveled zones would allow for the blurring of public and private space as well as zones of work and leisure.
Preemptive Architecture: Explosive Art and Future Architectures in Cursed Urban Zones
Authors: Stenslie Stahl
Published: May 2017

This article describes the art and architectural research project Preemptive Architecture that uses artistic strategies and approaches to create bomb-ready architectural structures that act as instruments for the undoing of violence in war. Increasing environmental usability through destruction represents an inverse strategy that reverses common thinking patterns about warfare, art and architecture. Building structures predestined for a construc­tive destruction becomes a creative act. One of the main motivations behind this paper is to challenge and expand the material thinking as well as the socio-political conditions related to artistic, architectural and design based practices.
Dialectic Atmosphere of Architecture: on Aesthetic Experience and Meteorology
Authors: Vignjević Ana
Published: May 2017

This paper seeks to trace the genealogy between two different terms of ‘atmosphere’. On the one hand, the term is primarily understood as a meteorological phenomenon. On the other hand, the word ‘atmosphere’ has found its way into the field of aesthetics, as the spatial diffusion of a certain mood. But, as Tim Ignold remarks, current aesthetic approach to atmosphere is mostly all about sensory experience, with no mention of meteorology at all. Similar to this exclusion, current attitudes to climate change often reduce nature-culture relations to a merely technical concern. The purpose of this paper is to permeate these two divergent positions through three different architectural concepts. The first one – Flying refers to Derek McCormack’s theoretical concept of balloon flight, combining the imaginative force of flying with balloon’s technical ability to enable this desire. This position is further reviewed through balloon-like architecture of 1960s, as in its contemporary revival. The second concept – Sensitivity starts from the premise that our imaginative and perceptual activities are forced – not in the static beauty of ideal weather conditions, but in their constant oscillation and contingency. This state is elaborated in the work of architect Philippe Rahm. Finally, the third concept Breathing is a critical response to a meteorological idealization, which is manifested in technical perfection of Le Corbusier’s exact air. As opposed to such intellectual air control, postmodern approach explores imaginative force of an anti air – dust, pollution, fog.

Published: May 2017

Wear characteristics of composites, Al matrix reinforced with B4C particles percentages of 5, 10,15 and 20 produced by the powder metallurgy method were studied in this study. For this purpose, a mixture of Al and B4C powders were pressed under 650 MPa pressure and then sintered at 635 °C. The analysis of hardness, density and microstructure was performed. The produced samples were worn using a pin-on-disk abrasion device under 10, 20 and 30 N load through 500, 800 and 1200 mesh SiC abrasive papers. The obtained wear values were implemented in an artificial neural network (ANN) model having three inputs and one output using feed forward backpropagation Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm. Thus, the optimum wear conditions and hardness values were determined.
Dry friction behavior of NiCrBSi-%35W2C coated brake disks
Authors: Güney Bekir , Mutlu İbrahim
Published: May 2017

For speeding up motor vehicles, new brake disk materials with higher frictional need to be developed. Brake disks work under very difficult thermomechanical conditions due to high temperature and wear. As most of commercial disks have high wear rate and low braking performance, there is a need for development and manufacturing of new disks-brake linings to reduce wear and to increase braking performance in motor vehicles. Ceramic coated disks have shown good stability in friction coefficient at a high speed and high energy braking conditions. Therefore, flame spraying technique for cermet coating materials has been chosen as a good method to produce coatings on a metallic substrate. In this study, a sample cast iron disk with ventilation channels coated with NiCrBSi-%35W2C powder by the flame spraying method were investigated. The braking performances of uncoated disk and coated disk were tested according to SAE J2430 test standard. It was found out that the coated disk had lower surface roughness and higher coefficient of friction than the uncoated disk. The NiCrBSi-%35W2C coated disk exhibited less wear, a higher coefficient of friction and longer life than the uncoated disk. As a result, the NiCrBSi-%35W2C coated disk could be a much better alternative for a new generation of brake disks in the motor vehicles than the uncoated disk.

This study assessed a bi-institutional experience following introduction of the Renaissance miniature robot for spinal image guidance in Europe.

Methods

The medical records and radiographs of all patients who underwent robot-guided implantation of spinal instrumentation using the novel system (between October 2011 and March 2015 in Mainz and February 2014 and February 2016 in Regensburg) were reviewed to determine the efficacy and safety of the newly introduced robotic system. Screw position accuracy, complications, exposure durations to intraoperative radiation, and reoperation rate were assessed.

Results

Of the 413 surgeries that used robotic guidance, 406 were via a minimally invasive approach. In 7 cases the surgeon switched to conventional screw placement, using a midline approach, due to referencing problems. A total of 2067 screws were implanted using robotic guidance, and 1857 screws were evaluated by postoperative CT. Of the 1857 screws, 1799 (96.9%) were classified as having an acceptable or good position, whereas 38 screws (2%) showed deviations of 3–6 mm and 20 screws (1.1%) had deviations > 6 mm. Nine misplaced screws, implanted in 7 patients, required revision surgery, yielding a screw revision rate of 0.48% of the screws and 7 of 406 (1.7%) of the patients. The mean ± SD per-patient intraoperative fluoroscopy exposure was 114.4 (± 72.5) seconds for 5.1 screws on average and any further procedure required. Perioperative and direct postoperative complications included hemorrhage (2 patients, 0.49%) and wound infections necessitating surgical revision (20 patients, 4.9%).

Conclusions

The hexapod miniature robotic device proved to be a safe and robust instrument in all situations, including those in which patients were treated on an emergency basis. Placement accuracy was high; peri- and early postoperative complication rates were found to be lower than rates published in other series of percutaneous screw placement techniques. Intraoperative radiation exposure was found to be comparable to published values for other minimally invasive and conventional approaches.

OBJECTIVE

During the last 3 decades, robotic technology has rapidly spread across several surgical fields due to the continuous evolution of its versatility, stability, dexterity, and haptic properties. Neurosurgery pioneered the development of robotics, with the aim of improving the quality of several procedures requiring a high degree of accuracy and safety. Moreover, robot-guided approaches are of special interest in pediatric patients, who often have altered anatomy and challenging relationships between the diseased and eloquent structures. Nevertheless, the use of robots has been rarely reported in children. In this work, the authors describe their experience using the ROSA device (Robotized Stereotactic Assistant) in the neurosurgical management of a pediatric population.

METHODS

Between 2011 and 2016, 116 children underwent ROSA-assisted procedures for a variety of diseases (epilepsy, brain tumors, intra- or extraventricular and tumor cysts, obstructive hydrocephalus, and movement and behavioral disorders). Each patient received accurate preoperative planning of optimal trajectories, intraoperative frameless registration, surgical treatment using specific instruments held by the robotic arm, and postoperative CT or MR imaging.

RESULTS

The authors performed 128 consecutive surgeries, including implantation of 386 electrodes for stereo-electroencephalography (36 procedures), neuroendoscopy (42 procedures), stereotactic biopsy (26 procedures), pallidotomy (12 procedures), shunt placement (6 procedures), deep brain stimulation procedures (3 procedures), and stereotactic cyst aspiration (3 procedures). For each procedure, the authors analyzed and discussed accuracy, timing, and complications.

CONCLUSIONS

To the best their knowledge, the authors present the largest reported series of pediatric neurosurgical cases assisted by robotic support. The ROSA system provided improved safety and feasibility of minimally invasive approaches, thus optimizing the surgical result, while minimizing postoperative morbidity.

OBJECTIVE

The quest to improve the safety and accuracy and decrease the invasiveness of pedicle screw placement in spine surgery has led to a markedly increased interest in robotic technology. The SpineAssist from Mazor is one of the most widely distributed robotic systems. The aim of this study was to compare the accuracy of robot-guided and conventional freehand fluoroscopy-guided pedicle screw placement in thoracolumbar surgery.

METHODS

This study is a retrospective series of 169 patients (83 women [49%]) who underwent placement of pedicle screw instrumentation from 2007 to 2015 in 2 reference centers. Pathological entities included degenerative disorders, tumors, and traumatic cases. In the robot-assisted cohort (98 patients, 439 screws), pedicle screws were inserted with robotic assistance. In the freehand fluoroscopy-guided cohort (71 patients, 441 screws), screws were inserted using anatomical landmarks and lateral fluoroscopic guidance. Patients treated before 2009 were included in the fluoroscopy cohort, whereas those treated since mid-2009 (when the robot was acquired) were included in the robot cohort. Since then, the decision to operate using robotic assistance or conventional freehand technique has been based on surgeon preference and logistics. The accuracy of screw placement was assessed based on the Gertzbein-Robbins scale by a neuroradiologist blinded to treatment group. The radiological slice with the largest visible deviation from the pedicle was chosen for grading. A pedicle breach of 2 mm or less was deemed acceptable (Grades A and B) while deviations greater than 2 mm (Grades C, D, and E) were classified as misplacements.

RESULTS

In the robot-assisted cohort, a perfect trajectory (Grade A) was observed for 366 screws (83.4%). The remaining screws were Grades B (n = 44 [10%]), C (n = 15 [3.4%]), D (n = 8 [1.8%]), and E (n = 6 [1.4%]). In the fluoroscopy-guided group, a completely intrapedicular course graded as A was found in 76% (n = 335). The remaining screws were Grades B (n = 57 [12.9%]), C (n = 29 [6.6%]), D (n = 12 [2.7%]), and E (n = 8 [1.8%]). The proportion of non-misplaced screws (corresponding to Gertzbein-Robbins Grades A and B) was higher in the robot-assisted group (93.4%) than the freehand fluoroscopy group (88.9%) (p = 0.005).

CONCLUSIONS

The authors’ retrospective case review found that robot-guided pedicle screw placement is a safe, useful, and potentially more accurate alternative to the conventional freehand technique for the placement of thoracolumbar spinal instrumentation.
Detecting opinion spammer groups and spam targets through community discovery and sentiment analysis
Authors: Choo Euijin , Yu Ting , Chi Min
Published: May 2017

In this paper we investigate on detecting opinion spammer groups through analyzing how users interact with each other. More specifically, our approaches are based on 1) discovering strong vs. weak implicit communities by mining user interaction patterns, and 2) revealing positive vs. negative communities through sentiment analysis on user interactions. Through extensive experiments over various datasets collected from Amazon, we found that the discovered strong, positive communities are significantly more likely to be opinion spammer groups than other communities. Interestingly, while our approach focused mainly on the characteristics of user interactions, it is comparable to the state of the art content-based classifier that mainly uses various content-based features extracted from user reviews. More importantly, we argue that our approach can be more robust than the latter in that if spammers superficially alter their review contents, our approach can still reliably identify them while the content-based approaches may fail.
Hierarchical Parallel Evaluation of a Hamming Code
Authors: Klein Shmuel , Shapira Dana
Published: May 2017

The Hamming code is a well-known error correction code and can correct a single error in an input vector of size n bits by adding logn parity checks. A new parallel implementation of the code is presented, using a hierarchical structure of n processors in logn layers. All the processors perform similar simple tasks, and need only a few bytes of internal memory.
Practices for Alleviating Heat Stress of Dairy Cows in Humid Continental Climates: A Literature Review
Authors: Fournel Sébastien , Ouellet Véronique , Charbonneau Édith
Published: May 2017

Heat stress negatively affects the health and performance of dairy cows, resulting in considerable economic losses for the industry. In future years, climate change will exacerbate these losses by making the climate warmer. Physical modification of the environment is considered to be the primary means of reducing adverse effects of hot weather conditions. At present, to reduce stressful heat exposure and to cool cows, dairy farms rely on shade screens and various forms of forced convection and evaporative cooling that may include fans and misters, feed-line sprinklers, and tunnel- or cross-ventilated buildings. However, these systems have been mainly tested in subtropical areas and thus their efficiency in humid continental climates, such as in the province of Québec, Canada, is unclear. Therefore, this study reviewed the available cooling applications and assessed their potential for northern regions. Thermal stress indices such as the temperature-humidity index (THI) were used to evaluate the different cooling strategies.

The ongoing undertaking of construction industrialization in China is redefining the industry and creating a new era for building construction. In order to identify the construction industrialization status and progress, a national survey is conducted across 19 key provinces and municipalities in China. Based on the collected data, construction industrialization is analyzed from various perspectives: (1) the industrialized building floor area is profiled using maps with colours showing the different levels of construction industrialization in China as of 2014; and (2) structural types and building types are analyzed for industrialized construction, and it is found that reinforced concrete is the predominant structure type, accounting for 77.1% of total floor area of industrialized construction in 2014. The industrialization trends are also predicted for the following five years using Holt’s and Delphi method. This research reveals the status and the promising trends of construction industrialization in China.

Published: May 2017

Reconstruction of 3D structures from multiple 2D images has wide applications in such fields as computer vision, cultural heritage preservation, etc. This paper presents a novel multi-view stereo algorithm based on homogeneous direct spatial expansion (MVS-HDSE) with high reconstruction accuracy and completeness. It adopts many unique measures in each step of reconstruction, including initial seed point extraction using the DAISY descriptor to increase the number of initial sparse seed points, homogeneous direct spatial expansion to enhance efficiency, initial value modification via a conditional-double-surface-fitting method before optimization and adaptive consistency filtering after optimization to ensure high accuracy, processing using a multi-level image pyramid to further improve completeness and efficiency, etc. As demonstrated by experiments, owing to above measures the proposed algorithm attained much improved reconstruction completeness and accuracy.
