A recent study has supported the efficacy of Attachment-Based Compassion Therapy (ABCT) compared to relaxation (REL) for the management of fibromyalgia (FM). The main objective of this paper is to examine the cost-utility of ABCT compared to REL in terms of effects on quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) as well as healthcare costs. Forty-two Spanish patients with FM received 8 weekly group sessions of ABCT or REL. Data collection took place at pre- and 3-month follow-up. Cost-utility of the two treatment groups (ABCT vs. REL) was compared by examining treatment outcomes in terms of QALYs (obtained with the EQ-5D-3L) and healthcare costs (data about service use obtained with the Client Service Receipt Inventory). Data analyses were computed from a completers, ITT, and per protocol approach. Data analysis from the healthcare perspective revealed that those patients receiving ABCT exhibited larger improvements in quality of life than those doing relaxation, while being less costly 3 months after their 8-week treatment program had ended (completers: incremental cost M, 95% CI = €−194.1 (−450.3 to 356.1); incremental effect M, 95% CI = 0.023 QALYs (0.010 to 0.141)). Results were similar using an ITT approach (incremental cost M, 95% CI = €−256.3 (−447.4 to −65.3); incremental effect M, 95% CI = 0.021 QALYs (0.009 to 0.033)). A similar pattern of results were obtained from the per protocol approach. This RCT has contributed to the evidence base of compassion-based interventions and provided useful information about the cost-utility of ABCT for FM patients when compared to relaxation. However, the small sample size and short follow-up period limited the generalizability of the findings.

Published: March 2020

Hands are the most frequent burn injury sites. Appropriate rehabilitation is essential to ensure good functional recovery. Virtual reality (VR)-based rehabilitation has proven to be beneficial for the functional recovery of the upper extremities. We investigated and compared VR-based rehabilitation with conventional rehabilitation (CON) in patients with burned hands. Fifty-seven patients were randomized into a VR or CON group. Each intervention was applied to the affected hand for four weeks, and clinical and functional variables were evaluated. Hand function was evaluated before intervention and four weeks after intervention using the Jebsen-Taylor hand function test (JTT), Grasp and Pinch Power Test, Purdue Pegboard test (PPT), and Michigan Hand Outcomes Questionnaire (MHQ). The JTT scores for picking up small objects and the MHQ scores for hand function, functional ADL, work, pain, aesthetics, and patient satisfaction were significantly higher in the VR group than in the CON group (p < 0.05). The results suggested that VR-based rehabilitation is likely to be as effective as conventional rehabilitation for recovering function in a burned hand. VR-based rehabilitation may be considered as a treatment option for patients with burned hands.

Published: March 2020

To examine the associations of prolonged sedentary time (ST) with disease severity in women with fibromyalgia, and to analyse the combined association of total ST and prolonged ST with the disease severity in this population. Women (n = 451; 51.3 ± 7.6 years old) with fibromyalgia participated. Sedentary time and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) were measured using triaxial accelerometry and ST was processed into 30- and 60-min bouts. Dimensions of fibromyalgia (function, overall, symptoms) and the overall disease impact were assessed with the Revised Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQR). Body fat percentage was assessed using a bio-impedance analyser, and physical fitness was assessed with the Senior Fitness Tests Battery. Greater percentage of ST in 30-min bouts and 60-min bouts were associated with worse function, overall, symptoms and the overall impact of the disease (all, P < 0.05). Overall, these associations were statistically significant when additionally controlling for MVPA and overall physical fitness. Participants with low levels of total ST and prolonged ST (>60-min bouts) presented lower overall impact compared to participants with high levels of total ST and prolonged ST (mean difference = 6.56; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.83 to 11.29, P = 0.002). Greater percentage of ST accumulated in 30- and 60-min bouts and a combination of high levels of total and prolonged ST are related to worse disease severity. Although unable to conclude on causality, results suggest it might be advisable to motivate women with fibromyalgia to break prolonged ST and reduce their total daily ST.

Published: March 2020

This study aims to provide new knowledge for the governments to enact more effective policies to proceed housing redevelopment programs. We conducted a survey on local urban villagers in Hangzhou city of China. Overall, our results provide valuable theoretical and practical implications for sustainable urban development. Firstly, we found that more reasonable compensation and more respecting justice and democracy during redevelopment implementation increases people’s acceptance of government’s housing redevelopment program. Secondly, we demonstrated that experiences from social learning, such as government–homeowner conflicts and quality of living of other homeowners who have experienced similar programs, and people’s own historical housing redevelopment experience, significantly influence their acceptance of the program. Thirdly, if the governments ensure more justice and democracy, it largely enhances effectiveness of compensation in promoting people’s acceptance of the housing redevelopment programs.
Friction and Wear Monitoring Methods for Journal Bearings of Geared Turbofans Based on Acoustic Emission Signals and Machine Learning

Published: March 2020

In this work, effective methods for monitoring friction and wear of journal bearings integrated in future UltraFan® jet engines containing a gearbox are presented. These methods are based on machine learning algorithms applied to Acoustic Emission (AE) signals. The three friction states: dry (boundary), mixed, and fluid friction of journal bearings are classified by pre-processing the AE signals with windowing and high-pass filtering, extracting separation effective features from time, frequency, and time-frequency domain using continuous wavelet transform (CWT) and a Support Vector Machine (SVM) as the classifier. Furthermore, it is shown that journal bearing friction classification is not only possible under variable rotational speed and load, but also under different oil viscosities generated by varying oil inlet temperatures. A method used to identify the location of occurring mixed friction events over the journal bearing circumference is shown in this paper. The time-based AE signal is fused with the phase shift information of an incremental encoder to achieve an AE signal based on the angle domain. The possibility of monitoring the run-in wear of journal bearings is investigated by using the extracted separation effective AE features. Validation was done by tactile roughness measurements of the surface. There is an obvious AE feature change visible with increasing run-in wear. Furthermore, these investigations show also the opportunity to determine the friction intensity. Long-term wear investigations were done by carrying out long-term wear tests under constant rotational speeds, loads, and oil inlet temperatures. Roughness and roundness measurements were done in order to calculate the wear volume for validation. The integrated AE Root Mean Square (RMS) shows a good correlation with the journal bearing wear volume.
On the Banzhaf-like Value for Cooperative Games with Interval Payoffs
Authors: Tan Chunqiao , Feng Wenrui , Han Weibin
Published: March 2020

By using Moore’s subtraction operator and a total order on the set of closed intervals, we introduce a new variation of the Banzhaf value for cooperative interval games called the interval Banzhaf-like value which may accommodate the shortcomings of the interval Banzhaf value. We first reveal the relation between this introduced value and the interval Banzhaf value. Then, we present two sets of properties that may be used to determine whether an interval value is median-indifferent to the interval Banzhaf-like value. Finally, in order to overcome the disadvantages of the interval Banzhaf-like value, we propose the contracted interval Banzhaf-like value and give an axiomatization of this proposed value.

Published: March 2020

Motivated by the limited work performed on the development of computational techniques for solving the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with time-dependent coefficients, we develop a modified Runge–Kutta pair with improved periodicity and stability characteristics. Additionally, we develop a modified step size control algorithm, which increases the efficiency of our pair and all other pairs included in the numerical experiments. The numerical results on the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with a periodic solution verified the superiority of the new algorithm in terms of efficiency. The new method also presents a good behaviour of the maximum absolute error and the global norm in time, even after a high number of oscillations.

Published: March 2020

The lightweight Fe–Mn–Al–C steels have drawn considerable attention from the literature due to their outstanding combination of high ductility and specific strength. Although the mechanical behavior of such steels has been extensively studied, the effect of Al when no C and Si are added has not been investigated in detail. For this reason, the main objective of this work was to study the microstructural evolution and mechanical behavior of carbon and silicon-free high-Mn steels with different aluminum contents. Alloys with 0, 2.5, and 5 wt. % Al were processed by spray forming to ensure high homogeneity and a fully austenitic microstructure. Cold rolling and annealing were performed to obtain a fine grain-sized material. The mechanical properties were similar regardless of the Al content, especially the work hardening rate. Deformation twinning and strain-induced phase transformation were not observed for any of the compositions. Additionally, a dislocation cell-like structure was observed for all of the alloys indicating that the Al additions did not change considerably the dislocation behavior, even though it considerably changed the estimated Stacking Fault Energy (SFE) value for all the alloys studied in this work.

Published: March 2020

In this present study, the influence of isothermal aging temperature and duration on microstructural and mechanical properties of a hot-deformed UNS S32750 super duplex stainless steel (SDSS) alloy was investigated by SEM-EBSD (scanning electron microscopy-electron backscatter diffraction) and tensile testing techniques. An isothermal aging treatment, at temperatures between 400 and 600 °C and treatment duration between 3 and 120 h, was applied to a commercial UNS S32750 SDSS alloy. Microstructural characteristics of all thermomechanical (TM) processed states, such as distribution and morphology of constituent phases, grain’s modal orientation (MO), and obtained mechanical properties were analysed correlated with the TM processing conditions. The obtained experimental results show that the constituent phases, in all TM processed states, are represented by elongated γ-phase grains within the δ-phase matrix. The R-phase was observed in the case of aging treatment performed at 600 °C for 120 h. Within the δ-phase matrix, dynamically recrystallized grains were identified as a result of applying hot deformation and isothermal aging treatments. Also, it was observed that aging treatment parameters can significantly influence the mechanical behaviour exhibited by the UNS S32750 SDSS alloy, in terms of elongation to fracture and absorbed energy during impact testing.
A Cooperative Control Scheme for AC/DC Hybrid Autonomous Microgrids
Authors: Sheng Wanxing , Hong Yinqiu , Wu Ming , Ji Yu
Published: March 2020

The AC/DC hybrid microgrid (MG) has been widely promoted due to its high flexibility. The capability to operate in islanding mode is an appealing advantage of the MG, and also sets higher requirements for its control system. A droop control strategy is proposed on account of its distinguishing feature of automatic power sharing between distributed generations (DGs), but it introduces some drawbacks. Therefore, distributed cooperative secondary control is introduced as an improvement. In order to optimize the active power sharing in AC/DC hybrid microgrids, a number of cooperative control strategies have been proposed. However, most studies of AC/DC hybrid microgrids have mainly focused on the control of the bidirectional converter, ignoring the effects of secondary control within subnets, which may make a difference to the droop characteristic. This paper extends the cooperative control to AC/DC hybrid microgrids based on normalizing and synthesizing the droop equations, and proposes a global cooperative control scheme for AC/DC autonomous hybrid microgrids, realizing voltage restoration within AC and DC subnets as well as accurate global power sharing. Ultimately, the simulation results demonstrate that the proposed control scheme has a favorable performance in the test AC/DC hybrid system.

Recherches expérimentales sur le pouvoir rotatoire des corps cristallisés
Authors: Longchambon Louis
Published: March 2020

Afin de pouvoir étudier correctement le pouvoir rotatoire des cristaux bi-axes, j'ai mis au point une méthode de mesure qui permet d'obtenir la lecture des rotations à quelques minutes près ; j'ai discuté les conditions de ces mesures, en ce qui concerne le dispositif d'observation, la source de lumière et les dimensions des cristaux, pour mettre en garde contre diverses causes d'erreur.

L'application de cette méthode au saccharose m'a permis de montrer que la propriété rotatoire est parfaitement constante dans les cristaux homogènes, et qu'on doit attribuer à des erreurs expérimentales les grands écarts que l'on constate entre les mesures de différents observateurs.

J'ai ensuite recherché la propriété rotatoire dans différentes substances cristallisées dont la dissymétrie est d'ordre structural ou moléculaire : toutes ces substances sont actives, sauf quelques cristaux cubiques qui forment ainsi une curieuse exception dont il y aura lieu de rechercher l'origine.

La recherche du pouvoir rotatoire se présente ainsi comme la méthode physique la plus sensible pour mettre en évidence la dissymétrie de l'édifice cristallin : elle réussit alors qu'échoue la recherche des figures de corrosion.

Enfin, comparant les pouvoirs rotatoires des molécules actives à l'état liquide et à l'état cristallisé, j'ai pu montrer que, d'une façon indubitable, dans sept exemples choisis au hasard, la dispersion rotatoire est la même dans ces deux états si différents de la matière ; c'est la première relation qui soit trouvée entre ces deux modes d'activité.
EFFICACY OF TENOFOVIR DISOPROXIL FUMARATE ON LIVER FIBROSIS IN PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC HEPATITIS B
Authors: Tran Thi Khanh Tuong , Huynh Tan Tai
Published: March 2020

Background/Objectives: The goal of chronic hepatitis B treatment is to prevent complications and reduce the risk of death. Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) is one of the first optimal choices to be used in the treatment of chronic hepatitis B. FibroScan and APRI are non-invasive methods to assess liver FibroScan, recommended in patients with chronic hepatitis B for treatment and follow-up. This study was performed on chronic hepatitis B patients in order to evaluate the therapeutic effect of TDF on fibrosis via combining APRI with FibroScan at 24 weeks after treatment.
Patients and Methods: This study was conducted in 40 chronic hepatitis B patients who had the indication of antiviral therapy. All patients treated with TDF were evaluated for fibrosis with APRI and FibroScan before treatment and after 24 weeks of treatment.
Results: At 24 weeks, normalization of ALT 67.51%, viral response of 89.96%, HBV DNA below the detection level was 65.0%. Liver fibrosis evaluated by APRI and FibroScan before and after 24 weeks treatment were 0.87 ± 0.36, and 0.31 ± 0.12 eveluated by APRI; 6.35 ± 1.65 kPa, and 3.67 ± 1.21 kPa eveluated by FibroScan. Improved liver fibrosis after 24 weeks post-treatment was 20% via combining APRI with FibroScan.
Conclusions: TDF was effective for 20% of patients after 24 weeks of treatment on liver fibrosis assessed by combination of APRI and FibroScan in chronic hepatitis B patients.

Key words: APRI, FibroScan, chronic hepatitis B, Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF), liver fibrosis
Indigeneity, Colonial History and Truth
Authors: Mane Jo , Toki Lynda
Published: March 2020

In 2019, indigenisation of tertiary settings in Aotearoa seems to have taken twenty steps back over as many years where the systemic nature of our colonial history continues to determine what counts. Māori continue to sit on the outside of what is the norm within mainstream tertiary institutions or at best within pockets of various forms within it. Indigeneity insists that Māori did not cede sovereignty. For indigeneity to be realised, the place of Māori as tangata whenua needs to be apparent in the systems that govern us and the decisions that affect us.
Pulling Together: Navigating Indigenisation From Within

Published: March 2020

In Canada, in 2015 the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (TRC) brought forward to all Canadians the devastating and lasting effects of residential schools on Indigenous peoples. The TRC published the Calls to Action to redress the legacy of residential schools and advance a process of Canadian reconciliation, which renewed efforts within many sectors. While many post-secondary institutions were already working with Indigenous communities, the TRC’s Calls to Action resulted in project funding from a variety of sources that aimed to address the Calls to Action.From 2016 –18, the BCcampus Indigenization Project formed a collaboration between the Ministry of Advanced Education, Skills and Training, BCcampus, an Indigenization Project Steering Committee of eight Indigenous educational leaders and thirty Indigenous and ally writers representing fourteen BC post-secondary education institutions to create Indigenization resources. This article highlights the project and how BCcampus approached learning about reconciliation and Indigenization while embarking on the creation of a series of online Indigenization guides for post-secondary institutions.
Seeking Poetic Justice: A Reading of Dylan Voller’s Prison Graffiti
Authors: Sefton-Rowston Adelle
Published: March 2020

When Four Corners aired the program ‘Australia’s Shame’ we entered into the prison cells of Darwin’s Don Dale Youth Detention Centre and witnessed through CCTV footage the torture of mostly Aboriginal inmates, enduring a colonial system of controlling and ‘settling’ them down. Images of Dylan Voller under a spit-hood and strapped to a restraint chair are horridly similar to the prison machine in Franz Kafka’s 1914 story: In the Penal Colony. In his story, Kafka’s prison machine is a ‘bed’ where the ‘condemned man is laid face-down naked’  and a marker carves script into the prisoner’s back that is “not easy to decipher with one’s eyes”, but the prisoner can “decipher the words “with his wounds” . One purpose of literary studies is to decipher the cultural markers responsible for humanity’s ‘wounds’ through the study of words or scripts known as texts. Kafka encourages us to read only the texts that wound us; books that allow us to reflect deeply, and with feeling, in order to inspire positive changes to the material world (Winston, 2016). Balla’s poem brings attention again to the treatment of Aboriginal children in Darwin’s Don Dale Youth Detention Centre. Her poem suggests there may be a poetic response to such atrocities if one reflects deeply. Recent texts that further expose Australia’s racist penal system and invite critical and creative reflection include, Kim Scott’s Taboo, Paul Collis’ Dancing Home and selected stories from Tony Birch’s Common People. These texts are published not long after the Four Corners exposé, and too inform writing about the treatment of Aboriginal people by white police and prison guards.

Published: March 2020

This study was carried out to evaluate the efficiency of metals (Pb and Co) removal from solution using Detarium microcarpum seeds as adsorbent. The effect of initial concentration and adsorbent dosage on the adsorption process of these metals were studied, the percentage removal of these metals increased with increased in weight (0.5 -2.5g) in 50ml of the solution and the adsorption efficiency increased with increasing initial metal ion concentration (0.01-0.05 moldm−3). The percentage removal obtained for Lead and Cobalt were compared. The result of adsorption were fitted to Langmuir models and coefficients indicated favorable adsorption of Pb2+ and Co2+ ions on the adsorbents. The adsorption of Pb2+ and Co2+ in aqueous solution was in the following order (1400µm>420µm>150µm). More than 55.4% of studied Lead cations were removed by 1400µm, 47.2% by 420µm and 29.8% by 150µm. While for Cobalt cations only 53.2% by 1400µm, 38.6% by 420µm and 24% by 150µm respectively, from aqueous solution it was concluded that, activated Carbon derived from Detarium microcarpum seed is good in removing both lead and cobalt ions, which make it good absorbent.
Application of master-plots kinetic method to non-isothermal cellulose pyrolysis and thermodynamic analysis of the pyrolysis process
Authors: ÖZSİN Gamzenur
Published: March 2020

Kinetic modeling of thermochemical conversion methods such as pyrolysis is one of the most challenging issues for bio-refineries. It is known that cellulose together with hemicellulose and lignin mainly affect the characteristics of biomass pyrolysis. However, there is still limited knowledge about the thermal behaviors of biopolymers that go into complex multi-phase pyrolysis reactions in the literature. Therefore, cellulose pyrolysis kinetics and thermodynamics were investigated in this study. Kinetic parameters of the pyrolysis process were calculated by a combined method of master-plots and Friedman method. Active pyrolysis of cellulose is found to occur between 263 and 455 °C. Applied Friedman method was perfectly fitted with the experimental data and activation energy of the thermochemical conversion process was found between 150.8 and 190.2 kJ/mol while the mean activation energy was calculated as 164.3 kJ/mol. The comparison of kinetic models used of solid-state thermal decomposition processes indicated that the cellulose pyrolysis mechanism is a diffusion-controlled (D3) degradation process at lower conversions (0<α<0.5) and the process can be explained by reaction-based mechanisms at higher conversion degrees.

Published: March 2020

This study aims to discuss the accounting implementation by the Indonesia Companies in recognizing, measuring, presenting, and disclosing environmental obligations that occur as a result of the company's operations. The analysis is carried out by reviewing disclosures on environmental management activities that have been carried out by the company, which has financial reports and annual reports. The method used is descriptive qualitative method with the data used are secondary data, financial statements, and annual reports obtained from the official website of the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2015 to 2017 fiscal years. The samples employed in this study is thirteen food and beverage subsector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2015 to 2017. The results of this study suggest that from 2015 to 2017, the food and beverage sub-sector companies have not reported any environmental obligations in the form of social-environmental responsibilities in the financial statements. The companies report their environmental responsibility activities as a company expense reported on the income statement. Accounting for environmental obligations related to recognition, measurement, recording, disclosure, and reporting has not been regulated in financial accounting standards, so reporting environmental obligations is still voluntary.

СТАТУС МОРФОНОЛОГИИ КАК ЛИНГВИСТИЧЕСКОЙ ДИСЦИПЛИНЫ И ОБЪЕКТ ЕЁ ИЗУЧЕНИЯ
Authors: IM Svetlana
Published: March 2020

В работе рассматривается роль таких морфонологических элементов в словообразовании, как ударение, альтернация фонем при выборе суффиксов в деминутивном словообразовании, характер зависимости между ними. Традиционно принято считать, что русское словообразование агглютинативно, так как доминирующая роль принадлежит аффиксу, а ударение и альтернация фонем ему подчинены. Русский язык фузионен по своим типологическим особенностям, так как именно в фузионных характеристиках, которые проявляют себя в виде чередования фонем, чередования ударения при склонении, спряжении и словообразовании, определяют типологические особенности русского языка. Поэтому в работе высказано предположение, что русское словообразование также фузионно. Фузионность находит своё выражение в том, что морфонологические характеристики производящего слова предсказывают выбор суффиксов, являющихся вариантами в рамках одной парадигмы алломорфов словообразовательного аффикса. Исследование показало, что ударение, альтернация фонем и суффикс функционально равнозначны, так как суффикс также может задавать ударение и альтернант производного слова. Отсюда следует вывод, что альтернация алломорфов суффиксов, равно как и альтернации в основах, в том числе и правила выбора алломорфов, не являются объектами словообразовательного анализа, а относятся к морфонологии. Таким образом, гипотеза о функциональной равноценности ударения, чередования фонем и альтернации аффиксов находит свое подтверждение в описании словообразования деминутивов мужского рода с суффиксами — -ик, -ок (-ек), -ушек (-юшк, -ишек), -анёк (-енёк), что находит своё наглядное выражение в таблице выбора алломорфов суффикса.

Сўнгги вақтларда матн корпуслари дунё компьютер лингвистикаси (NLP) ва тилшуносликнинг турли соҳалари учун энг муҳим ўрганиш объектига айланиб бормоқда. Бироқ ўзбек тилшунослигида корпус билан боғлиқ жиддий амалий тадқиқотлар амалга оширилган эмас. Шу боис ушбу мақолада корпуснинг компьютер моделларини яратишга доир изланишларни таҳлил қилиш ва улардан унумли фойдаланиш учун эришилган натижаларни қиёсий ўрганишга эътибор қаратилган. Мақолада ўрганиш объектининг ўзига хос хусусиятлари ва фойдаланувчиларнинг турли мақсадларидан келиб чиқиб, электрон корпусларнинг шакллантириш босқичлари бир нечта корпусларнинг қиёсий таҳлили асосида ўрганилди. Таҳлил натижалари шуни кўрсатадики, матнга доир метамаълумотларнинг берилиши, лингвистик жиҳатдан аннотациялаш ва жанрлар таснифини мувофиқлаштириш барча корпуслар учун умумий жиҳатларидан биридир. Компьютер лингвистикасида корпус яратиш меъёрлари ва мезонларини аниқлаш кейинги тадқиқотлар учун муҳим лингвистик ресурс бўлиб хизмат қилади. Тадқиқотнинг натижалари асосида қуйидаги хулосага келинди: корпуснинг морфологик, синтактик ва семантик аннотациялари ёрдамида компьютер лингвистикасининг турли илмий йўналишларида дастурий таъминотлар (маълумотларни классификациялаш, маълумотларни қайта ишлаш, машина таржимаси, сентимент анализ) яратиш учун муҳим манба ҳисобланади.

Vroue van Afrika-afkoms is meer vatbaar vir bakteriële vaginose (BV) in vergelyking met Europese vroue. Beide mikrobiese diversiteit (soos met BV) sowel as spesifieke bakteriële taksa speel ‘n rol in seksuele en reproduktiewe gesondheid insluitende MIV vatbaarheid.

Die moontlike rol van geografi ese ligging en etnisiteit op die verhouding tussen mikrobiese samestelling en seskuele en reproduktiewe gesondheid bly egter onbekend.

In hierdie studie vergelyk ons dus die vaginale mikrobiota van 16–22-jarige swart, HIV-negatiewe Suid-Afrikaanse vroue van twee geografies-uiteenlopende liggings, beide lae-inkomste, hoë bevolkingsdigtheidsgemeenskappe, een in Kaapstad, en een in Johannesburg. Vaginale mikrobiese profiele is bepaal met behulp van 16S rRNS volgordebepaling van laterale muur deppers.

PENERAPAN ASAS KEADILAN PADA TRANSAKSI PENYIMPANAN DANA NASABAH DI BANK SYARIAH BERDASARKAN AKAD MUDHARABAH
Authors: SHOIMAH SITI NUR
Published: March 2020

ABSTRAK

This research is motivated by the fact that it does not include clauses related to the risk of the Bank or the Customer in the mudharabah agreements in the customer deposit funds in Islamic Banking (Sharia Banking), if at any time the business of managing a Islamic Bank fund suffers, even though there are also Customer funds in the business, and it’s not balanced, because maybe only one party, the Customer or the Bank, bears the risk of loss. This imbalance then causes injustice, even though justice is a shariah requirement in the distribution of results from a business activity. Research that uses the normative legal research with the statute approach, and conceptual approach, results in the finding that the principle of justice in customer deposit funds in Islamic Banking based on mudharabah agreements is realized in the form of profit sharing system in the form of proportional and balanced benefits and risks.

ABSTRAK

Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh fakta yang menunjukkan tidak dicantumkannya klausul terkait resiko Bank ataupun Nasabah di dalam akad mudharabah pada transaksi penyimpanan dana Nasabah di Bank Syariah, apabila suatu ketika usaha dari pengelolaan dana Bank Syariah mengalami kerugian, padahal di dalam usaha tersebut juga terdapat dana Nasabah, dan ini tentu tidak seimbang, karena dimungkinkan hanya pihak Nasabah Penyimpan atau Bank Syariah yang menanggung resiko atas kerugian tersebut. Ketidakseimbang inilah yang kemudian menimbulkan adanya ketidakadilan, padahal keadilan merupakan persyaratan syari’ah dalam pembagian hasil dari suatu kegiatan usaha. Penelitian yang menggunakan metode normatif dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan dan pendekatan konseptual ini, menghasilkan temuan bahwa asas keadilan pada transaksi penyimpanan dana Nasabah di Bank Syariah berdasarkan akad mudharabah diwujudkan dalam bentuk sistem bagi hasil berupa keuntungan dan resiko secara proporsionalitas dan seimbang.

Aplikasi Metode Zero Meter Haul Distance Measurement Untuk Meningkatkan Keselamatan Kerja Dan Menghemat Biaya Penambangan
Authors: Wibowo Wahyu
Published: March 2020

Jarak angkut adalah salah satu komponen dalam biaya penambangan yang dapat mempengaruhi keekonomisan sebuah tambang. Jarak angkut direncanakan bersamaan dengan perencanaan produksi suatu tambang. Jika jarak angkut yang dihasilkan dalam suatu proses perencanaan tambang ternyata membuat tambang tersebut tidak ekonomis, maka akan dilakukan perencanaan ulang sehingga dihasilkan jarak angkut yang membuat tambang tersebut menjadi ekonomis yaitu dengan merubah lokasi timbunan dan arah penambangan. Pengawasan jarak angkut di PT Arutmin Indonesia dilakukan bersama antara perwakilan perusahaan dan perwakilan kontraktor secara harian yaitu dengan pengukuran lokasi penambangan dan lokasi buang tiap unit alat berat yang bekerja. Untuk meningkatkan keselamatan kerja, PT Pama Persada Nusantara telah membuat suatu standar prosedur kerja yang mengharuskan kendaraan pengambil data jarak angkut berada pada jarak aman minimal tiga puluh meter dari unit alat berat yang bekerja. Tambahan jarak aman ini akan menjadi variabel tetap pada rekonsiliasi jarak angkut bulanan. Melalui pengamatan berkala, terlihat bahwa jarak aman aktivitas pengukuran jarak angkut kurang dari tiga puluh meter. Hal ini tentunya menambah resiko terjadinya kecelakaan kerja dan juga menjadi faktor penambah biaya penambangan. Melalui pengamatan kondisi kerja di lapangan dan analisa data, disepakati bersama untuk menghilangkan jarak aman pada aktivitas pengukuran jarak angkut namun dengan menghentikan sementara aktivitas unit alat berat yang bekerja selama pengukuran. Metode ini diberi nama Zero Meter Haul Distance Measurement. Metode ini terbukti aman dan dapat menghemat biaya bulanan sebesar enam ratus juta rupiah pada tingkat produksi lima ratus ribu ton batubara perbulan pada nisbah pengupasan (SR) empat.
ANALISA BEBAN KERJA PENGAWAS OPERASIONAL TAMBANG DI MINING OPERATION DIVISION, PT. KALTIM PRIMA COAL
Authors: Mardiono Didik
Published: March 2020

Berdasarkan surat edaran Kepala Inspektur Tambang pada bulan Juli 2018, datakecelakaan tambang Indonesia menunjukkan bahwa telah terjadi: kecelakaanberakibat fatal (meninggal) 10 orang, cidera berat 38 orang, cidera ringan 38orang. Beberapa penyebab dari kecelakaan tambang ini antara lain kondisi tidakaman karena cuaca, kurangnya pengetahuan karyawan atau pengawas terhadapbahaya dan resiko pekerjaan, kurangnya pengawas dan personil di areal kerja, dan kurangnya kendali manajemen terhadap temuan inspeksi, rasio pengawas, pelatihan pengawas . Salah satu instruksi Kepala Inspektur Tambang adalah pemetaan kembali rasio kebutuhan jumlah pengawas terhadap area kerja yang menjadi tanggung jawabnya. Divisi Mining Operation yang merupakan salah satu divisi yang bertanggung jawab terhadap operasional tambang di wilayah PT. Kaltim Prima Coal telah melakukan analisa beban kerja pengawas operasional tambang. Beberapa kriteria yang dimasukkan dalam perhitungan analisa beban kerja meliputi:1. Aktifitas Pekerjaan: kriteria ini diukur berdasarkan waktu pengawasan terhadap aktifitas operasi tambang yang dihadapi, dan prosedur-prosedur kerja yang terikat pada pekerjaan tersebut. Kriteria ini mempunyai bobot 22% dari keseluruhan kriteria.2. Jumlah Karyawan/bawahan langsung: Berapa banyak jumlah karyawan atau operator yang secara administrasi dibawah tanggung jawab seorang pengawas. Semakin banyak jumlah karyawan yang menjadi tanggung jawabnya maka semakin besar bobot kerjanya. Kriteria ini mempunyai bobot 16% dari keseluruhan kriteria.3. Jumlah alat yang diawasi: pengukurannya didasarkan pada jumlah alat beroperasi di wilayah/area kerja yang menjadi tanggung jawabnya, seperti alat gali, alat kut, dozer, dll. Bobot kriteria ini adalah 14%.4. Luasan area kerja: Diukur berdasarkan radius kerja, semakin luas area kerja yang menjadi tanggung jawabnya maka semakin tinggi beban kerja seorang pengawas. Bobot kriteria untuk luasan area kerja adalah 14%.5. Fungsi koordinasi: Dalam menjalankan pekerjaannya, seorang pengawas pasti berkoordinasi dengan pihak-pihak luar departemen yang berhubungan dengan pekerjaannya. Semakin banyak fungsi koordinasi maka beban kerja pengawas juga semakin tinggi. Bobot kriteria ini adalah 14%.6. Indikator unjuk kerja: Setiap pengawas yang bertanggung jawab dimasing-masing area kerja mempunyai beban tanggung jawab untuk memastikan indicator unjuk kerja terutama alat tambang bisa tercapai. Semakin banyak indicator unjuk kerja makaka semakin besar beban kerjanya. Kriteria ini mempunyai bobot 20%.Analisa beban kerja pengawas operasional tambang dilakukan pada pengawas yang bertanggung jawab pada area: Loading point, Dumping point, Road, Project, Drill, dll. Dari hasil analisa didapat bahwa beberapa posisi pengawas operasional mempunyai beban kerja yang tinggi, sehingga direkomendasikan menambah pengawas operasi agar beban kerjanya bisa berkurang dan fokus pengawasan terhadap keselamatan kerja bisa meningkat.
Korelasi Nilai Rebound Schmidt Hammer Dengan Nilai Uniaxial Compressive Strength (UCS) Seam Batubara A2 dan C Pada Pit 3 Timur Banko Barat, di PT. Bukit Asam, Tbk
Authors: Simatupang Andreas Roland
Published: March 2020

Nilai Uniaxial Compressive Strength adalah gambaran dari nilai tegangan maksimum yang dapat ditanggung sebuah contoh batuan sesaat sebelum contoh batuan tersebut hancur. Hal tersebut merupakan informasi penting dalam menentukan kekuatan dan karakteristik suatu batuan baik massa batuan maupun batuan utuh yang didapat dengan pengujian menggunakan alat UCS. Pada penelitian ini dibuat suatu alternatif dalam menentukan nilai UCS secara instan, yaitu dengan menggunakan Point Load Index dan Schmidt Hammer. Point Load Index dan Schmidt Hammer dinilai sangat mudah dan efektif dalam pengujiannya karena dapat digunakan langsung pada lereng penambangan. Alternatif ini didapat dengan membuat hubungan antara Point Load Index dengan nilai UCS serta Schmidt Hammer terhadap litologi batubara terkhusus pada seam batubara A2 dan C, yang berlokasi pada pit 3 timur banko barat, Sumatera Selatan, pada formasi Muara Enim.
