Budowanie powodziowej odporności miast na przykładzie nowych inwestycji na terenie Nowego Jorku
Authors: Dudzińska-Jarmolińska Agnieszka , Jasińska Katarzyna
Published: July 2024

Wiele miast na całym świecie zostało zbudowanych nad rzekami. Rzeka stanowiła ważny czynnik ich rozwoju i dobrobytu, z drugiej strony była źródłem licznych niebezpieczeństw, np. podtopień czy też katastrofalnych powodzi. Przewidywania naukowców jasno wskazują, iż rzeki, szczególnie w miastach europejskich, mogą coraz częściej występować ze swoich brzegów, co jest skutkiem zmian klimatycznych obserwowanych na całym świecie. Miasta starają się chronić przed tymi zdarzeniami, stosując zróżnicowane narzędzia. Szczególnie popularne są rozwiązania inżynieryjne, coraz częściej jednak do ochrony miast przed skutkami powodzi wykorzystuje się rozwiązania bardziej przyjazne zarówno środowisku, jak i ludziom, należące do tzw. zielonej infrastruktury. Celem artykułu jest usystematyzowanie wiedzy na temat narzędzi obecnie implementowanych na terenie Nowego Jorku, stanowiących element adaptacji do zmian klimatycznych miasta, przy uruchomieniu procesów o charakterze rewitalizacji. Badania oparto na analizach epistemologicznych oraz wizjach terenowych czerech nadbrzeżnych przestrzeni parkowych. Konsekwentnie realizowane działania, ukierunkowane na budowanie odporności miejskiej, przyczyniają się do przeobrażenia poprzemysłowego nabrzeża w sieć powiązanych ze sobą parków miejskich. W parkach stosuje się najnowsze rozwiązania typu NBS (ang. Nature-Based Solutions) służące zwiększeniu bioróżnorodności w mieście oraz odbudowie istniejących tu wcześniej ekosystemów. Zidentyfikowane rozwiązania mogą być przykładem dla wielu polskich miast nadrzecznych, w jaki sposób rewitalizować nabrzeża, jednocześnie wzmacniając odporność miasta wobec zdarzeń o charakterze powodzi.
Prepositions: Morphologic System, Norm and Communicative Practice
Authors: Shaposhnikov Vladimir
Published: July 2024

The development of a language is a change in time of the structure of the language, its elements and their connections, a change in the functions of the language structure, its parts and elements. It occurs under certain conditions, internal, inherent in the language itself, and external influences in relation to the language. The paper considers the material of one of the two grammatical mechanisms of the language, the morphology of the Russian language. The formal and semantic structure, the stable basis and changes in grammatical units, the norm and usage in the field of non-significant parts of speech are analyzed. The prepositions of the modern Russian language are described. Words of the auxiliary part of speech are considered in the communicative-functional aspect. The study uses descriptive and quantitative methods and the method of component analysis of semantics. The prepositions of contemporary Russian language are describing. Obsolescence and elimination from the language system of some primitive and derived prepositions, some meanings of polysemantic prepositions are noted. The emergence of new prepositions, the development of new meanings of prepositions are described. The revealed changes are systemic and stylistic in nature.

Authors: Dunaevskaya V. , Med V. , Krotevych M.
Published: July 2024

The aim of the study was to investigate the presence of immunohistochemical markers p16, p53 and Ki67 and their diagnostic and prognostic value in women with pre-invasive vulvar lesions such as vulvar high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (VHSIL) and differentiated vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia (dVIN). Materials and methods. The results of immunohistochemical (IHC) examination of samples obtained from 253 women diagnosed with HSIL or dVIN who asked for medical care at the National Cancer Institute (Kyiv, Ukraine) in 2017-2023 were analysed. 155 of all women examined were diagnosed with dVIN and 98 with VHSIL. All patients underwent a vulvar biopsy. Histological typing of biopsy samples was performed using routine haematoxylin and eosin staining and immunohistochemical (IHC) examination. The IHC study was performed using monoclonal mouse antibody p16 (Monoclonal Mouse Antibody p16 (Mob575-01)) using the Thermo scientific PA1-16662 system, monoclonal mouse antibody Ki-67 (Monoclonal Mouse Anti-Human Ki-67 Antigen Clone MIB-1 (Dako IR-626)) and monoclonal mouse antibody p53 (Monoclonal Mouse Anti-Human p53 Protein Clone DO-7 (Dako IS-616)) using the EnVisionTM FLEX detection system (Dako, Denmark). Results.The average age of patients with dVIN was 58.26±10.17 years old, and the average age of patients with VHSIL was 39.65±10.22 years old. According to the results of the study, all patients with VHSIL (n=98) had positive staining for Ki67 in the middle and upper epithelial sections, and only 72% (n=71) - for p16. Staining for p53 was negative in all cases. That is, 28% (n=27) of the patients with VHSIL  were negative for p16 and positive for Ki67. p53 staining showed the presence of a "wild-type" variant in 65 patients with dVIN (42%) and a "mutant" variant in 90 women (58%). None of the patients showed positive staining for p16. As for VHSIL, the Ki67 marker was detected in 100% of cases and in all situations in the middle and upper parts of the epithelium, while with dVIN patients, such staining was observed in only 45 women (29%). Conclusions. The determination of IHC markers p16, p53 and Ki67 allows to distinguish dVIN from VHSIL, especially in difficult diagnostic cases. In addition, the presence of mutant p53 indicates the possibility of rapid progression to cancer and requires immediate and more aggressive treatment and follow-up.

Hard Matter: Ex-commodities and Repurposed Waste at South Korea’s Joyang Bangjik
Authors: Yoon Sarah
Published: July 2024

Abstract: This essay argues that the discarded objects, refashioned and repur-posed to fit new functions at South Korea’s Joyang Bangjik, have the potential to inspire visitors to imagine new ecological futures. More specifically, the ex-commodities at Joyang Bangjik, formerly a textile factory in colonial Korean times, remind visitors of the present wasteful system of capitalism, based on environmental exploitation. They remind us that discarded commodities continue to exist in hard material form, populating our planet in spite of their perceived exhaustion of economic value. Joyang Bangjik recoups such wasted items (such as factory or mechanical parts, used tractors, and sewing tables) and presents them in refashioned form as “assemblages” encompassing multiple timelines and human-made or organic objects. Plants and organic matter live amid such refashioned waste, providing a glimpse into our ecological future, compelled as we are to live with the accumulating debris and detritus of our wasteful civilization. Joyang Bangjik as a café may not be immune to capitalist influences, but it does invert our assumptions of value and waste, with the potential to bear fruit in our future ecological imaginary.

Authors: Kasparavičiūtė-Sungailė Ugnė , Stankevičienė Asta , Tamaševičius Virginijus , Subačienė Rasa
Published: July 2024

This study is the first to develop a comprehensive questionnaire on employee experience conditions. The study tested and validated a construct with five latent variables (reputation, recruitment process, physical environment, cultural environment, and relationship with former employees) based on a literature review, interviews with experts in the field, and statistical analysis of data from 325 respondents. This construct was used to examine the relationship between employee experience conditions, employee commitment, and employee intention to leave the organisation. An additional survey of 215 employees was conducted to determine the mediation and moderator relationships. The study found that employee experience conditions positively predicted employee engagement and negatively predicted employee turnover intentions. Furthermore, a partial mediation relationship was identified in that employee engagement is a factor through which employee experience conditions affect employees' intention to leave the organisation. Finally, employee experience conditions act as a moderator, strengthening the negative relationship between employee engagement and turnover intentions.
The impact of labour market policies on outcomes in OECD countries: An empirical analysis
Authors: Knapińska Magdalena , Woźniak-Jasińska Katarzyna
Published: July 2024

Labour market policies are a topic of debate in all countries that has become increasingly relevant during the recent crises. This study aims to assess the impact of labour market policies on labour market outcomes. The empirical analysis is based on a panel data model with fixed effects for the studied OECD countries. The analysis indicates that higher levels of public spending on labour market policy are associated with improved labour market outcomes. The results also suggest that higher unionisation among employees promotes job-seeking and engagement in the workforce. Based on the results for disaggregated active labour market policies, it can be supposed that training and employment incentives show the most beneficial results, both in terms of reducing unemployment and increasing employment and participation. Thus, our results suggest that labour market policies play an important role in terms of labour market outcomes in OECD countries.
Assessment of energy poverty in EU countries in 2010-2022
Authors: Oesterreich Maciej , Barej-Kaczmarek Emilia
Published: July 2024

The main goal of the paper was to analyze the level of energy poverty in EU countries, with particular emphasis on three years: 2010, 2015 and 2022. The basic definition of energy poverty assumes a situation in which a household is unable to provide for an adequate level of energy services at home. Choice of the time period for the analysis was dictated by the availability of statistical data and, on the other hand, by the desire to analyze the impact of the time factor on the phenomenon under study. The application of the modified TOPSIS method for the construction of synthetic measures, in which common coordinates of the Positive Ideal Solution and Negative Ideal Solution were calculated for all analyzed periods, made it possible to assess the dynamics of the analyzed phenomenon between these periods. The carried out analyses show that EU countries remain differentiated in terms of energy poverty levels, but that this variation has been decreasing over time. This clearly indicates that the level of the examined phenomenon is equalizing in the analyzed group of countries. Particularly important was the improvement in the positions of the member states, whose accession took place after 2004. An in-depth comparative analysis of changes in energy poverty levels between the “new” and “old” member states is the essential added value of this work. Due to the changing geopolitical conditions in Europe and around the world, it should be borne in mind that not only developing countries will face energy shortages. Therefore, the authors believe that it is crucial to commit to political actions and to conduct scientific research on the widest possible use of various types of energy in order to reduce energy poverty.
Terrestrialización y pampeanización de las islas del Delta del río Paraná. Reflexiones conceptuales y etnográficas desde el Bajo Delta bonaerense
Authors: Straccia Patricio Hernán
Published: July 2024

Hace poco más de veinte años, Galafassi propuso la categoría ‘pampeanización’ para describir las transformaciones productivas, sociales y ambientales de las islas del Bajo Delta del Paraná. Concomitantemente con la emergencia de la cuestión ambiental en la agenda pública, su uso se expandió hasta convertirse en un descriptor que permite cuestionar las prácticas productivas en toda la región. Sin embargo, encuentro necesario reflexionar críticamente y repensar su pertinencia para caracterizar dichas transformaciones. A partir de un análisis documental, inicialmente me propuse historizar la categoría ‘pampeanización’ para inscribirla en sus singulares contextos de producción, circulación y consumo. Posteriormente, a partir de un análisis etnográfico, me propuse evaluar su pertinencia empírica en el Bajo Delta. Sostengo la necesidad de diferenciar entre ‘terrestrialización’ y ‘pampeanización’, y alerto sobre su relevancia para producir conocimiento situado socialmente comprometido que aporte al debate sobre la construcción de proyectos históricos propios de la(s) isla(s) y los isleños.

Published: July 2024

The global energy crisis sparked by dwindling fossil fuel reserves has precipitated efforts to develop sustainable battery technologies, as conventional dry cell batteries utilize toxic lead, graphite, and manganese oxide components that pollute the environment. Chitosan derived from black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) maggot presents a biodegradable substitute. This study fabricated chitosan-based polymer electrolyte membranes by blending chitosan with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and polyacrylonitrile (PAN), then doping with ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) using the solvent-casting method. Varying NH4Cl compositions aimed to maximize ionic conductivity. Chitosan (13.455% water, 27.810% ash) was subsequently combined with PVA/PAN (20:80 w/w), NH4Cl, and casted onto petri dishes. Electrolyte membranes exhibited a maximum conductivity of 0.19612 ± 0.01572 S/cm with 0.9 g NH4Cl. FTIR spectroscopy verified the incorporation of chitosan (peaks at 3446.79 cm–1, 1643.35 cm–1, and 1151.50 cm–1), PVA (3446.79 cm–1 and 1136.07 cm–1), and NH4Cl (3371.57 cm–1 and 721.38 cm–1). SEM imaging visualized the incorporation of NH4Cl within the membrane. The chitosan-based biodegradable approach is compelling but limited by 0.19612 S/cm ionic conductivity, necessitating further compositional and processing optimizations for viable applications. Though it is promising for sustainable bio-sourced energy storage, challenges remain in enhancing conductivity through advanced polymer blends/dopants and scaling up for commercial biobattery manufacturing.

Pathogenic microbial metabolism during food storage can lead to food spoilage, which can cause food poisoning and foodborne infections, posing a significant risk to human health and safety. Additionally, food spoilage generates greenhouse gases, which could contribute to global warming and have significant impacts. These challenges prompt us to explore effective solutions to reduce food spoilage, aiming to mitigate its adverse impacts. Many secondary plant metabolites have been used in the food and pharmaceutical industries due to their natural antimicrobial activity and low drug resistance. However, the reported targets of antibacterial action are complex, and with the continuous development of research methods, it has become possible to deeply analyze the antibacterial mechanisms using omics technologies. This article discussed the trends and application of transcriptomics, metabolomics, and proteomics in investigating the antimicrobial and antifungal properties of essential oils (EOs) and their active ingredients, aiming to provide a theoretical basis for the use of plant EOs and their active ingredients in addressing health risks and environmental challenges posed by food spoilage.

Evaluation of the efficiency of automated system based on processors with VLIW and X86-64 architectures through testing
Authors: Gnutov Maksim S. , Gnutov Sergey K. , Titarenko Viktor N.
Published: July 2024

The typical architectural concepts of popular processor families, their features, advantages and disadvantages are considered. Examples of structures of known processors are given. Technical limitations for the further development of popular RISC (CISC) architectures in accordance with the von Neumann machine paradigm are outlined. Attention is drawn to the increase in the size of the hardware scheduler and the resulting shortage of space on the chip with an increase in the number of functional modules on cores with a “sequential” structure. The advantages of the VLIW concept and the compiler working with this architecture are described. To assess the effectiveness of the functioning of automated systems with various architectures, a number of synthetic tests were carried out and test programs were used. Performance measurements were carried out to compare electronic computers based on VLIW and x86-64 cores. A number of algorithms have been proposed to accelerate computational tasks of an automated system with a parallel structure. The need to apply the concept of parallel programming when refining existing and developing new software for modern automated systems is emphasized. An example of converting program code into a parallel structure is given to describe an algorithm for a sequential task, illustrating complex information connections.

Authors: Zarovchatskaya Elena V. , Misnik Anton E. , Averchenkov Oleg E.
Published: July 2024

The article presents comprehensive methods for enhancing the efficiency of welder training management through the implementation of swarm intelligence algorithms and evolutionary modeling. It introduces an information-measurement system that automates the evaluation of welders' experience and work quality, facilitating objective task allocation and the improvement of training processes. Central to this system are swarm intelligence algorithms – specifically, bee algorithms, ant colony algorithms, and firefly algorithms – which optimize the selection of training courses and learning trajectories for welders. These algorithms streamline educational pathways and identify the most suitable courses for each welder, thus reducing training time and enhancing the quality of training.
Evolutionary modeling algorithms assist in the efficient allocation of welding tasks among specialists based on their performance and work quality. The article details the processes involved in identifying and measuring weld defects, assessing weld quality, predicting defects, and improving training management efficiency. It also discusses the application of neural networks for weld defect analysis, which enhances assessment accuracy and automates quality control processes.
Practical testing was conducted at OAO "BELGAZSTROY" and OOO "INVESTAP-MAIND," demonstrating a 20–30 % reduction in training time and a corresponding decrease in the number of weld defects. These results validate the effectiveness of the proposed approach and highlight its potential for improving welding work quality and welder training in industrial settings.
Assessment of the intensity of intermodule interaction and the choice of means of its organization in vibration monitoring systems of turbine units
Authors: Plotnikov Dmitriy A. , Lachin Vyacheslav I. , Muzhenko Alexander S.
Published: July 2024

During the operation of turbine units (TU) of electric power plants, continuous monitoring of vibration levels of the main elements of the TU is necessary, which ensures the safe operation of the equipment and is performed using stationary vibration monitoring systems (VMS). Modern stationary VMS for TU have a modular structure, where the types and number of modules used are determined by the complexity of the controlled unit. The performance of a number of VMS functions requires the organization of intermodular interaction, and the efficiency of the system as a whole depends on the timeliness and reliability of information transmission. To ensure these indicators, the article analyzes one of the most complex TU, estimates the number of measuring channels of the VMS necessary to control its vibration state. It is shown that for high-power TU, the total number of vibration measurement channels and related parameters can reach up to 140. The structure of the digital VMS and the principles of network interaction of its elements are proposed, based on the information received about the required number of channels, the types and maximum number of medium-level modules in the VMS are determined. For modules of each type, the sets of transmitted data, their sizes and frequency of transmission are described, and an expression is obtained for calculating the total intensity of the data flow in the VMS system bus. It is shown that the system bus bandwidth of 300...500 kbit/s is sufficient for the normal operation of the VMS. The use of the CAN interface and the CANopen protocol for the organization of intermodule interaction is justified.

Authors: Jing Wei ,   Lanzhou University of Technology, Lanzhou, 730050, PR China.
Published: July 2024

With the shortage of land resources, the engineering application of large height-width ratio liquid storage structure is of great significance. 3-D numerical calculation models of large height-width ratio liquid storage structure are established by ANSYS. The elements Solid 65 and Solid 185 are used to simulate the concrete and the bearing, while the element Fluid 80 is used to simulate the liquid. The dynamic responses of four types of structure are comparatively investigated, which are non-isolated structure with double baffles, isolated structure with double baffles, non-isolated structure with triple baffles and isolated structure with triple baffles. The results show that under the Tianjin waves, the wall tensile stress of the non-isolated structure with triple baffles is decreased by 50% compared to the non-isolated structure with double baffles, while the wall tensile stresses of the isolated structures with double and triple baffles are increased by 10% and 122%, respectively, compared to those of the non-isolated structures. It is shown that conventional rubber isolation is not suitable for the large height-width ratio liquid storage structures with baffles, where the load-bearing capacity and safety of the structure can be improved by increasing the number of horizontal baffles.

Assessing Flood Risk at the Catchment Scale by Integrating Hazard and Vulnerability with Climate Change Context
Authors: Lamichhane Suraj ,   Tribhuvan University, Lalitpur, Nepal
Published: July 2024

Frequent flooding in the central part of the Hindu Kush region, Nepal, results in substantial damage to lives and property, particularly in the plains. This study explores the catchment-scale flood hazard and vulnerability, generating flood risks under climate change scenario. Flood model was developed using HEC-RAS 2D rain-on-grid approach and CMIP6 projected climate data for SSP245 and SSP585 scenarios was used. Flood hazard, vulnerability and risk maps were generated delineating potential inundation scenarios for both 50-year, and 100-year return periods, under present and future climate scenarios. Hazard maps revealed a probable increase in flooding under future climate scenarios. Vulnerability assessments also demonstrated an anticipated escalation in future. Cropland dominates the land-use type in the study area, with agriculture vulnerability increasing by 22.14% (SSP245) and 29.322% (SSP585). The number of inundated buildings increases from 2967 in the existing scenario to 4601 (SSP245) and 5274 (SSP585). Similarly, road vulnerability areas are increased by 28.06% (SSP245) and 37.86% (SSP585). The impact of flooding is higher in SSP585 scenario as compared to SSP245 scenario. The catchment level outcomes have diverse applications, particularly in decision-making for flood management, integrating risk maps for effective strategies, and providing valuable insights into shape climate change adaptation policies. Keywords: Catchment scale, Climate change, Flood vulnerability, Flood risk, HEC-RAS 2D.
Static Analysis of Functionally Graded Beams under Bending Using a New Polynomial Shear Function
Authors: Boussouar Aissa ,   Mohamed Khider University of Biskra, Biskra, Algeria
Published: July 2024

This paper presents a static analysis to establish a mathematical model using high-order bending theories to predict the shear strain in the displacement fields for functionally graded beams under bending. The new polynomial shear function developed, which represents the originality of this research work, satisfies the boundary conditions and stress nullities on the lower and upper faces of the section through the thickness. This new model, considering a hyperbolic shape function, does not need a shear correction factor. The material properties are assumed to vary continuously in the thickness direction, based on a simple power-law distribution, in terms of constituent volume fractions. The analytical model is developed by differential equations obtained from the virtual work principle as well as equilibrium equations and boundary conditions considered. The solution model is based on an integral approach to evaluate the displacement field component and the basic constitutive laws. The analytical model is explored using the illustrative case. The results obtained in terms of displacement field including shear strains and shear stresses predicted from the proposed model are compared to those obtained from the literature. Keywords: Higher-order theories, Beams, Displacement, Static analysis, New polynomial shear function, Shear stress.

Courts are expected to provide various advantages, namely speed, consistency, accuracy, and reliability. The judiciary in Indonesia adheres to a simple, fast, and low-cost trial. The reality in Indonesia is that case resolution is long-winded, expensive, and inefficient. The existence of technological developments brings benefits, especially in the world of justice where the judicial system that was originally based on conventional has shifted to an electronic-based justice system from then a new problem arose. E-Summon, which should make it easier to call parties, does not apply to people who are not familiar with technology. E-Summon is considered ineffective because the e-court system sometimes has errors and is considered long-winded because justice seekers who are not yet technologically savvy are required to have an email, be able to operate it, and must be ready if they get a call. This study examines how to optimize the E-Summons feature in realizing a simple, fast, and inexpensive E-Summons system. settlement of civil cases. The results show that the implementation of E-Summons has not been able to run optimally. The not yet optimal implementation of E-Summons is caused by the legal culture of the community that has not been able to accommodate the implementation of E-Summons. The legal culture of the people who are not used to operating e-mail and the lack of openness of technological insight which is the main capital in the implementation of E-Summons, the implementation of E-Summons has not run optimally.

Every country has the right to sail in its territorial sea, exclusive economic zone, high seas, and other countries' territorial seas. However, when crossing the territorial areas of other countries, foreign ships must obey and follow all regulations in that area to go through. This research uses a normative legal research typology method which includes field research focusing on positive legal norms in the form of laws and regulations and literature research to determine the regulation of the rights and obligations of foreign ships to cross the Indonesian archipelagic sea lanes. The results of this study indicate that the rights and obligations of foreign ships to cross the Indonesian archipelagic sea lanes have been regulated in several regulations, both national regulations and international regulations, but in practice, the high intensity of foreign ships passing through ALKI causes many problems. The problems that arise because of these passages have not all been resolved by existing laws and regulations, so these regulations are considered ineffective and insufficient in overcoming the problems of the Indonesian archipelagic sea lanes.

A precedent is a piece of design knowledge that acts as an input to the design process. On the other hand, the originality of architectural design is built from many interpretations that occur within the designers, including the performance in the precedent study. However, more information still needs to be provided about how students seek, read, and apply precedents during the naturally occurring design process. Architecture students have limitations in developing a design, considering they need more experience and knowledge than practitioners. This research is based on the learning-by-doing experienced by architecture students when designing a housing project. The research is conducted with the participant of second-year architecture students, which includes observation during the studio class and interview. The portfolio documents are also used to support the data itself. The result shows that architectural precedents are sought almost in every phase of the design process. The precedent that has already been seen or even analyzed becomes part of the designer’s tacit knowledge.

This study investigates the characteristics of public space areas in kampung settlement, Kampung Cungkeng, Teluk Betung, Bandar Lampung, Indonesia. The study aims to identify the public space utilization and the elements moulding open space in this urban kampung. This study is to identify the characteristics of public space, the social interaction of communities and the dynamic interplay between public space and activities. It identifies the utilization of public open space which communities or dwellers use to interact and socialize in some activities in Kampung Cungkeng. The research is framed by qualitative method descriptively through collecting data and observing areas is accomplished by a snapshot surveying in a certain time. The method of data analysis is constructed by technical quality analysis based on facts and perception. The findings are the shortage of public space availability influences dwellers’ interaction and they bond engagement in semi-public zones, such as terraces and yards, where dwellers share the private house area to facilitate social activities. The lack of public space availability makes folks reorganise the existing public space and complete the additional facilities, features, or infrastructure to facilitate better social interaction and enhance comfort in Kampung Cungkeng.

Published: July 2024

Experimental study using software simulation is frequently employed as a tool to minimize errors in design and predict design decisions. In addition to considering the functions of the building and other requirements, architects are required to understand the context and possess the ability to optimize the climatic potential of the construction site. Solar gain is a crucial factor, as insufficient sunlight entering a space can result in inadequate illumination, while excessive sunlight can increase the building's heat gain. Therefore, the key to success in design lies in optimizing lighting and heat gain proportionally to address these challenges. This research utilizes an experimental method by identifying the location, orientation, material, and function of the space. The objective of this study is to find an optimal external shading device for shading the Dental Unit area in the Central Laboratory building at the Diponegoro University. The results of the research indicate that the use of 3 types shading devices can reduce the average sunlight gain by 10-15%, offering significant potential for lowering energy consumption in the Central Laboratory building of the Faculty of Medicine at Diponegoro University in Semarang, Indonesia.

The phenomenon of houses without road access has been happening a lot lately, especially in densely populated settlements. This happens because neighbors block access or are unwilling to provide a road. In contrast to this phenomenon, one of the residents in the densely populated settlement of Leuwigajah Village, Cimahi City allowed part of his land to be used as a road for his neighbors who have houses without access. However, this condition has an impact on territory, privacy and the hijab in the residence. The aim of this research is to examine the application of a house privacy in a densely populated settlement. The research method used is qualitative with a descriptive analytical approach. Primary data was obtained through field observations and interviews, while secondary data was obtained from literature studies. Data is collected, analyzed and summarized to reach conclusions. The results of the research show that the house studied still maintains privacy even though the terrace of the house is used as an area for public access. This is intended as part of the homeowner's tolerance for neighbors who do not have access from the road to their residence
VALIDATION OF THE INDONESIAN VERSION OF THE PARTNER’S EMOTIONAL DEPENDENCY SCALE (SED): A RASCH MODEL APPROACH

Published: July 2024

This research aimed to verify the Indonesian version of the Partner’s Emotional Dependency Scale (SED), originally developed by Camarillo et al. (2020) in Spanish. The SED is a unidimensional scale with 22 items designed to measure emotional dependence on a partner. This is the first time the instrument has been adapted, particularly for use in Indonesia. The validation process employed the Rasch model to ensure the scale’s reliability and accuracy in the Indonesian context. The study involved 229 participants (F = 185, M = 44), aged between 18 and 35 (MAge = 25.5, SD = 4.23). The results confirmed the unidimensionality of the SED scale, with 2 – 3 items contributing to the second dimension. The 5-point Likert scale functioned effectively, enabling respondents to distinguish between different response options. The person-item interaction reliability was found to be .85, and the item reliability was .98, indicating excellent reliability of the SED scale items. All items were evenly distributed across the scale from high to low difficulty. However, items number 1, 3, and 7 (SED 1, SED 3, SED 7) were identified as less suitable for measuring emotional dependence and respondents found it difficult to answer these specific questions. Furthermore, three items (SED 5, SED 6, and SED 19) exhibited Differential Item Functioning (DIF) due to gender bias. The study concludes that, with some revisions and improving the translation, the Indonesian version of the SED scale could be a valuable tool for measuring the level of emotional dependence on a partner in the Indonesian population.
