Geophysical survey of earthen dam using the electrical prospecting methods
Authors: AKHMETOV Yermek M. , ASSEMOV Kambar M. , SHAYTOROV Victor N.
Published: August 2020

The hydraulic structures for the land reclamation needs and their operation are the objects of careful attention. The water-bearing earth dams of small height pose an extra danger, where the accident occurs the most often. Such facilities should be constantly monitored to prevent the dangerous incidents. The article discusses an alternative method for studying the filtration properties of earth dams by the electrical parameters – resistivity, induced polarization and self-potential. The relative polarizability was used to exclude the influence of electrical resistivity to the induced polarization data. A study of advanced technology to identify the filter zones was carried out on an earthen dam in the Almaty region, Kazakhstan. The measurement data for three profiles are presented as the sections form in the parameters of resistivity and relative polarizability. Their complex interpretation with the respect of self-potential data, is given as a diagram of probable filtration paths. This is possibly due to the local increased watering in the dam loamy body. Then, the electric and self-potential parameters were evaluated to determine the filtering zones. The study results of above parameters have identified several water-saturated zones in the dam body. This technology could be used to estimate the condition of such objects and their engineering-geological monitoring.

Published: August 2020

Regarding the seismicity of the Zagros and the Red Sea regions, the present study has investigated and analyzed the seismicity with M ≥ 5 of these regions with obtaining seismicity coefficients, geometrical characteristics including depth, earthquake dispersion and focal mechanism of earthquakes, and their relation to each other. The estimated b-value for these two zones is approximately the same, being equal to ∼1.2. However, the total number of earthquakes in the Zagros is much higher (approximately 5.5 times), when the ratio of small to large earthquakes is about the same amount. In this study, focal depth of more earthquakes occurred and located in the Zagros and Red Sea respectively in depth of 15–20 km and 10–15 km from the earth surface, indicating that the Zagros Crust is thicker than the Red Sea.

Jak przerobić baśnie na zaangażowane utopie? Twórczość prozatorska Angeli Carter
Authors: Pekaniec Anna
Published: August 2020

Celem artykułu jest przeprowadzenie analizy dwóch powieści Angeli Carter, Magicznego sklepu z zabawkami (1967) i Mądrych dzieci (1991), a także wybranych baśni/opowiadań pisarki, na czele z Krwawą komnatą (1979) i Towarzystwem wilków (1977). Autorka tekstu ukazuje, jak przekształcanie popularnych motywów baśniowych lub fabuł powieściowych (z uwzględnieniem takich gatunków jak powieść inicjacyjna, powieść obyczajowa, powieść o artystach, tu także artystkach) zamienia je w utopie i to z wyraźnie feministyczną sygnaturą. Rozwiązania proponowane przez Carter, często wzbogacane o elementy utopii albo dystopii, mają na celu nie tylko zakwestionowanie fallogocentrycznych reguł; prowadzą także do pytań, czy jest ono w ogóle możliwe.
Pierwszy pitawal wegetariański, czyli o ilustracjach Emilii Dziubak do Horroru Madleny Szeligi
Authors: Wincencjusz-Patyna Anita
Published: August 2020

W artykule autorka skupia się na warstwie wizualnej książki Horror Madleny Szeligi z ilustracjami Emilii Dziubak, wydanej przez krakowskie wydawnictwo Gereon w 2017 roku. Jest to zbiór dwudziestu miniatur literackich opisujących tragiczne losy siedemnastu różnych gatunków warzyw i owoców, a także pieczarek, słonecznika i pokrzyw, na co dzień traktowanych przez ludzi jako produkty spożywcze, a tu przedstawionych jako żyjące, a zatem czujące osobniki. Książka w interesujący sposób odnosi się do wielowiekowej tradycji obrazowania śmierci, męczeństwa i cierpienia oraz popularnych zwłaszcza w epoce baroku wątków wanitatywnych, bardziej niż do rekwizytorium horroru. Jako gatunek bowiem horror jest dobrze osadzony w literaturze i filmie, ale nie w refleksji nad sztukami plastycznymi. W artykule przedstawiono zatem inspiracje europejskim malarstwem nowożytnym, zarówno religijnym, alegorycznym, jak i martwymi naturami, a także epitafiami oraz ornamentem barokowym, twórczo wykorzystanymi przez ilustratorkę. Autorka wskazuje także na tradycję animizowania roślin wywodzącą się z europejskiej XIX-wiecznej ilustracji książkowej.

Analisis pengaruh kebijakan bea keluar biji kakao, impor biji kakao, ekspor biji kakao dan harga cocoa butter terhadap ekspor cocoa butter
Authors: Hermawan Rudi
Published: August 2020

The export duty policy was initially intended to increase the value added of cocoa beans. On the other hand, in the past few years there has been a significant increase in imports of cocoa beans to meet the needs of domestic industrial in order to keep running optimally and can create added value. To assess how much influence the export duty policy for cocoa beans, the import of cocoa beans, the export of cocoa beans and the price of cocoa butter on the development of exports of cocoa butter, this study uses a quantitative approach using secondary data from various sources. The results of the analysis show that the development of the export of cocoa butter is significantly influenced by the amount of cocoa bean imports and the export of cocoa beans. but the price factor of cocoa butter and the amount of export duty does not significantly influence. This shows that the main problem is the performance of the cocoa processing industry which is strongly influenced by the availability of raw materials. In addition, although an increase in imports of cocoa beans can still be offset by an increase in exports of processed cocoa products that have added value.                    Kebijakan bea keluar pada awalnya ditujukan untuk peningkatan nilai tambah biji kakao. Di sisi lain, dalam beberapa tahun terakhir terjadi peningkatan impor biji kakao secara signifikan untuk pemenuhan kebutuhan industri domestik agar tetap berjalan optimal dan dapat menciptakan nilai tambah. Untuk mengkaji seberapa besar pengaruh kebijakan bea keluar biji kakao, impor biji kakao, ekspor biji kakao dan harga cocoa butter terhadap perkembangan ekspor cocoa butter, penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan menggunakan data sekunder dari berbagai sumber. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa perkembangan ekspor cocoa butter secara signifikan dipengaruhi oleh besaran impor biji kakao dan ekspor biji kakao. Sedangkan faktor harga cocoa butter dan besaran tarif bea keluar tidak berpengaruh secara signifikan. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa permasalahan utama adalah pada kinerja industri pengolahan kakao yang sangat dipengaruhi oleh ketersediaan bahan bakunya. Selain itu, walaupun terjadi peningkatan impor biji kakao masih dapat diimbangi dengan adanya peningkatan ekspor produk kakao olahannya yang memiliki nilai tambah.

Jumlah cadangan pasir besi sebagian besar tersebar di wilayah pesisir perairan Indonesia,dari pesisir sebelah barat Sumatera, pesisir pantai selatan Jawa juga Bali, pesisir Sulawesi, pesisir Nusa Tenggara Timur (NTT), serta pesisir Papua. Jumlah cadangan keseluruhan untuk bijih sebanyak 173.810.612 ton dan logam sebanyak 25.412.652,62 ton. Tetapi pemanfaatannya belum optimal,karena PT. Krakatau Steel, dan PT. Krakatau Posco baru memproduksi plat baja sebanyak 24.000 sampai dengan 36.000 ton per tahun. Sedangkan kebutuhan plat baja untuk industri perkapalan tiap tahunnya dibutuhkan 900.000 ton per tahun. Dengan kebutuhan bahan baku plat baja berupa besi spons dengan Fe ≥ 60%, PT. Krakatau Steel masih mengimpor dari luar negeri. Buktinya, PT.
Krakatau Steel sebelum dan selama tahun 2000-an masih mengimpor Pellet Bijih Besi dari negara Swedia, Chilli, dan Brazil sebesar 3.500.000 ton per tahun. Kondisi ini merupakan penyebab industri baja nasional tidak bisa bersaing dengan industri baja luar negeri, karena bahan baku yang diimpor dikenakan bea masuk. Ini peluang untuk membangun perusahaan bahan baku baja, karena selama ini industri bahan baku baja di Indonesia hanya ada dua perusahaan. Kondisi ini mendorong dilakukannya pembuatan besi spons, dengan proses pembuatan besi spons dengan teknologi
yang disesuaikan dengan kapasitas produksi terpasang. Penelitian ini menganalisis pembuatan besi spons dengan menggunakan pasir besi Cipatujah, sebagai bahan baku untuk pembuatan besi spons, dengan hasil yang didapat berupa besi spons dengan kadar tertingginya Fe ≥60,44%. Ini dapat
dipakai untuk keperluan bahan baku pembuatan baja PT. Krakatau Steel (PT. KS), karena selama ini PT. KS mengklaim bahwa produk besi spons lokal Fe<60%. Ini dapat mendorong kemandirian bahan baku baja, yang dampak pada kemandirian industri pertahanan.Tetapi pemerintah juga harus melakukan proteksi dan memprioritaskan bahan baku baja produksi nasional untuk produksi baja nasional. Dengan jalan industri baja nasional milik pemerintah membina konsorsium vendor pemasok bahan baku (besi spoin) agar kualitas dan pasokan besi spons berkesinambungan.

Ketersediaan air bersih merupakan sebagian besar masalah utama diwilayah Kabupaten Manggarai Barat, Nusa Tenggara Timur. Padahal terdapat korelasi antara faktor kecukupan air, kesehatan dan pembangunan ekonomi. Salah satu daerah yang merepresentasikan kondisi ini adalah di Desa Labuan Bajo. Pesona wisata Pulau Flores yang terdapat di Kabupaten Manggarai Barat, dimana Labuan Bajo merupakan pintu gerbang untuk memasuki pesona wisata tersebut merupakan tempat yang sangat ingin dikunjungi oleh wisatawan. Sebagai bentuk upaya pemerintah untuk memperketat pengawasan dan penjagaan perbatasan maritim Labuan Bajo, pemerintah membentuk Pos TNI Angkatan Laut. Oleh karena itu, ketersedian air bersih sangat dibutuhkan di daerah tersebut. Selain untuk memenuhi kebutuhan masyarakat Labuan Bajo, meningkatkan sarana dan infrastruktur untuk mendatangkan para wisatawan yang banyak, juga untuk memenuhi dukungan logistik markas TNI AL. Untuk memenuhi kebutuhan air tersebut, maka ada 2 opsi yang diperkirakan dapat menyelesaikan masalah, yakni (1) pemetaan air bawah tanah di desa Labuan Bajo dan pemompaannya dengan menggunakan tenaga listrik dari hasil photo voltaic, dan (2) bilamana butir (1) nihil maka dilakukan pemompaan air dari reservoir yang tersedia pada jarak sekitar 3 km dari desa Labuan Bajo. Mengingat contour daerahnya, maka diperlukan pembuatan reservoir baru dan sistem pemompaan air dari reservoir yang telah tersedia, sehingga diperoleh tingkat ketinggian air yang memadai untuk mengalirkan air ke desa tersebut. Pemetaan air bawah tanah dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode geolistrik. Bilamana opsi 1 berhasil, maka sistem yang dibangun dapat dijadikan sebagai model pemompaan air bawah tanah, utamanya di wilayah Kabupaten Manggarai Barat yang memerlukannya. Kemudian air bersih yang didapat akan diolah melalui proses Reverse Osmosis untuk menghasilkan air siap minum.

Authors: Halimatussa’diah Halimatussa’diah
Published: August 2020

Non-verbal communication is often used to describe feelings, emotions, and others. Non-verbal communication can strengthen and complement verbal communication. Therefore, in life must combine the two communications. Like the nazham contained in the al-Munawwaraq embroidery Fil ‘Ilmi Mantiq. Which explains about lafadh and ghairu lafadh both are related to one another. So that both the majority of students and some teachers who study the book  sulam al-Munawwaraq Fil ‘Ilmi Mantiq  do not know that there is a discussion of communication in the nazham. The phenomenon finally motivated a study entitled "Analysis of Non Verbal Communication Content in the book al-Munawwaraq Fil‘ Ilmi Mantiq". This study is focused only on a nazham found in the book sulam al-Munawwaraq Fil ‘Ilmi Mantiq, the nazham is conducted using the library research method, namely research carried out using literary literature, such as the yellow books, notes, and previous research report. This study yielded several answers, namely non-verbal communication in the book Sulam Al-Munawwaraq is found in the nazham was violated, as well as the value of non-verbal communication in the book sulam al-Munawwaraq Fil ‘Ilmi Mantiq  namely in the discussion of ghairu lafdhiyyah. The same is true of non-verbal communication put forward by communication experts. Then it can be concluded that the non-verbal communication contained in the book sulam al-Munawwaraq Fil ‘Ilmi Mantiq is exactly the same as the non-verbal communication stated by communication experts.
Instilling Participatory Planning in Disaster Resilience Measures: Recovery of Tsunami-affected Communities in Banda Aceh, Indonesia
Authors: Harahap Grace Yuswita
Published: August 2020

Strategically, if community improvement is to become an important priority in post-disaster recovery efforts, then the spectrum of recovery must be widened to instill disaster resilience measures. In fact, to achieve this goal all efforts should be participatory in the approaches and adopt empowerment as a strategic objective. In post-tsunami areas in Aceh, Indonesia, the Village Planning Guidelines are designed, not only to rebuild the village physically, but also to instill disaster response measures where the ultimate goal is to ensure that the community is self-reliant, highly-motivated and action-oriented. Significantly, the inculcation of such positive attributes in the community will prepare them well for disaster mitigation in the future; in such way that the community enable to carry out effective and appropriate reconstruction stages in comprehensive recovery process. Thus, this study evaluates whether chosen participatory approach in village planning process is capable to empower the affected-community in Banda Aceh. Through survey and personal interview of forty respondents from four most-devastated villages, answers for twenty-two questions derived from five variables as criteria of effective facilitation process, resulted that the community agreed facilitation approaches succeeded to encourage the affected-community to involve actively in planning process. However, answers for twelve questions from three variables of effective empowerment process showed that the community gained empowerment simply to an extent. This is a confirmation to general opinion that facilitation needs longer time in its process to empower community. For this reason, further research is expected to develop specific post-disaster participatory approaches in effort to evolve the capability-development level of affected-community.

Published: August 2020

This work confirmed the hypotheses about the influence of the mood index on Twitter on the pricing of art objects and the difference between the experts' estimations and the final price of the auction. The hypotheses were tested with the use of a sample of 83 paintings selected on the basis of ratings of ARTNET's online resource about the most expensive works of art ever sold in the last 10–15 years. The sample consisted of 25 artists, for each of them was made an index of moods on Twitter. This index was created by a sentimental analysis of each tweet about the artist on the hashtag for a period of 2 to 4 months between the announcements of sales in the open sources and the direct sale of the work with the use of the two dictionaries AFINN and NRC.
Russia's Lagging Behind Western Countries as a Result of the Gap between Age-Old Aspirations of the People and Prose of Life
Authors: Kossov Vladimir V.
Published: August 2020

For centuries, Russia is lagging behind the countries called “the West”. The choice of Switzerland as a benchmark for comparison is justified. In 2016 GDP per capita in the new nations within the borders of the former USSR was 10 points less than in 1886. The Soviet era gains in bringing living standards closer to the West were lost. The close relationship with seven ratings of countries describing different aspects of the standard of living is shown. The main question that the author seeks to answer: “Why has Switzerland, which is poor in natural resources, been significantly ahead of Russia, which is rich in them, in terms of living standards for centuries?” The fundamental difference in the relationship of the government to citizens is the answer to this question. In Russia, for centuries, the system “Ruler – loyal subjects”, and in Switzerland – “citizen – civil servants”. In Russia, the ruler determines what to do, and the loyal subjects follow his instructions. In Switzerland, in a referendum the citizens determine what to do and they do it under the rules written by the civil servants. Higher motivation of people in the free enterprise system determines their higher productivity, and through it, a higher standard of living. In Russia, power is formed by a representative democracy and in Switzerland by a direct one, which is much closer to the age-old aspirations of the people for the will.
Liberalism and the State: Economic Growth and the Inequality
Authors: Volkonsky Victor A. , Gavrilets Yuri N. , Kudrov Alexander V.
Published: August 2020

The article provides a critical comparison of two opposing views on the socio-economic development of Russia: radical liberal and socio-state ideology. The reason for the comparison was the report of Professor V. V. Kossov at a meeting (December 6, 2019) of the International Organizational Sciences Academy (IOSN) (“Barriers to Russia’s Economic Growth”), which stated that the main barrier to economic growth in Russia was government interference in economic activity and insufficient respect for private property in the population. The article shows on statistical data that, firstly, GDP growth should not be considered the main indicator of a country’s success, and secondly, it is the weakness of the state that actually hinders socio-economic development. It is shown that such problems as the elimination of poverty and inequality cannot be solved without the active participation of the state. The main thing is not economic growth and direct democracy, but the satisfaction of the interests of all social groups and the achievement of social justice. This position is supported by an appeal to the research results of many Western economists. Criticizing the liberal position, the authors of the article remain supporters of the free development of the individual and the society of equal opportunities.

Background: The Senior Citizens Acts 2063, Nepal defines the senior citizens (elderly population) as “people who are 60 years and above”. Health is the most important determinant of the quality of life of people. Ill-health becomes a major obstacle for the well-being of the elderly population. This study was conducted to assess the morbidity pattern in elderly population.Methods: A community based cross-sectional study was carried out in field practice area of the Department of Community Medicine. 124 elderly population were selected by convenient sampling technique. A structured questionnaire was used to collect the data. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 20. Chi-square was used to test the association and p<0.05 was considered as significant.Results: The mean age of elderly population was 69.85 years. Majority (47.6%) of them were in the age group of 60-69 years. Males (50.8%) were more than females (49.2%). Twelve respondents (9.7%) were not suffering from any form of morbidity. Most common morbidity was muscular skeleton problem (40.8%), followed by hypertension (36.3%), diabetes (29.8.8%), psychological (23.4%) and respiratory (18.6%). Other morbidities gastrointestinal, dental, ENT, eye and genitourinary system were found in around ten percentage of elderly population Conclusions: Majority of the elderly population were suffering from non-communicable diseases. There is a need for health care services at all level with special focus on disease prevention, early detection and treatment for elderly population. This study found high prevalence of musculoskeletal, hypertension, diabetes and psychological problem and low prevalence of respiratory, gastrointestinal, dental, ENT, genitourinary and eye problem.

Published: August 2020

Heterotopic pregnancy is the simultaneous existence of intrauterine and extrauterine gestation. It is usually seen in women at risk for ectopic pregnancy or those undergoing fertility treatments. The incidence has dramatically risen to 1 in 3900 of pregnancies via assisted reproductive techniques or ovulation induction, compared to 1 in 30000 of spontaneous conception. Besides this, history of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), tubal damage, pelvic surgery and prior tubal surgery can increase its risk. Here we present a case of heterotopic pregnancy which was diagnosedafter ectopic gestation ruptured along with compromised intrauterine gestation and maternal condition. Earlier diagnosis before this life-threatening event could have saved the intrauterine fetus.Keywords: Extrauterine pregnancy; heterotopic pregnancy; ruptured ectopic.

Background: Mental health needs of victims of domestic and family violence are often overlooked. A booklet was designed to help women update their knowledge and skills in effective coping with domestic and family violence and support them in developing effective stress reduction and problem management techniques. In addition, this booklet is believed to serve as a reference for further use. This paper describes the development process and validation of the information booklet. This booklet was used during an intervention trial conducted in Nepal to educate abused pregnant women.Methods: This methodological study involved three stages: bibliographical survey, development of the booklet, and validation by specialists in the relevant fields and representatives of the target audiences. A total of eight experts, currently working in the field of domestic violence and/or midwifery, and 15 representatives of the target participants were involved in the validation process. A minimum Content Validity Index of 0.78 was considered for content validation, and minimum agreement of 75% for face validation.Results: The booklet presented a global Content Validity Index of 0.92. The overall level of agreement within the target participants was 86.3%, which was higher than the minimum recommended level. Both subject experts and participants positively evaluated the adequacy, coverage and readability of contents of the booklet.Conclusions: The booklet was validated using content and face validity. This validated booklet is expected to be an effective tool for communication that would help pregnant women cope better with domestic and family violence and adopt strategies to remain emotionally healthy.Keywords: Booklet; development; domestic violence; validation studies.

Background: Newborn service readiness is facility’s observed capacity to provide newborn services and a pre-requisite for quality. Newborn services are priority program of government and efforts are focused on infrastructure and supplies at peripheral health facilities. Study describes health facility readiness for newborn services in four domains of general requirements, equipment, medicines and commodities, and staffing and guidelines.Methods: Convergent parallel mixed method using concurrent triangulation was done in public health facilities providing institutional deliveries of two randomly selected districts- Taplejung and Solukhumbu of Eastern Mountain Region of Nepal. Face to face interview and observation of facilities were done using structured questionnaire and checklist; in-depth interviews were done using interview guideline from November 2016 to January 2017. Ethical clearance was taken. Descriptive analysis and deductive thematic analysis were done.Results: Mean score of newborn service readiness was 68.7±7.1 with range from 53.3 to 81.4 out of 100. Domains of general requirement, equipment, medicine and commodity, supervision, staffing and guideline were assessed. The gaps identified in general requirements were availability of uninterrupted power supply, means of communication and referral vehicle. Clean wrappers and heater for room temperature maintenance were identified during interviews to be part of the readiness. All health facilities had trained staff while retention of skill was of concern. There was felt need of enforcing adequate training coverage to suffice the need of human resources in remote. Conclusions: Efforts of improving transportation, heater for room temperature maintenance, trainings with skill retention strategy, utilization of guidelines, availability of skilled birth attendance could result increased and improved newborn service readiness.Keywords: Eastern mountain region of Nepal; health facility readiness; newborn service readiness.

Background: Repetitive exposure to vibration has been shown to induce peripheral nerve dysfunction. Dentists are exposed to handheld vibrating tools in their daily clinical practice. Most of the studies are done in dentists who have symptoms such as paresthesia and numbness of the hands. Thus, we conducted the study to explore the effect of vibration on nerve conduction variables in apparently healthy asymptomatic dental residents. Methods: This cross-sectional study enrolled 22 dental residents and age matched 22 medical residents as controls. Nerve conduction study was performed in median and ulnar nerves of both hands. Results: Anthropometric and cardiorespiratory variables were comparable between the groups. There were no statistically significant differences between dental and medical residents in the sensory conduction variables (right median onset latency=2.05±0.27 vs 1.91±0.21, p value=0.07; right median amplitude =27.80±8.11 vs 29.55±7.04, p=0.45; right median conduction velocity = 59.54±7.05 vs 61.06±5.15, p= 0.42) and motor conduction variables (right median distal latency = 2.87±0.38 vs 2.87±0.38, p= 0.94; right median distal amplitude=10.71±2.19 vs 11.10±2.37, p=0.58; right median conduction velocity= 70.57±13.16 vs 68.53±7.73, p= 0.54) of median and ulnar nerves. Further, there was no significant difference between the dominant and non-dominant hands of dental residents. Conclusions: Hand held vibration tools did not alter nerve conduction study parameters of dental residents. Keywords: Dentists; nerve conduction study; vibration.

Background: Sexual harassment has received global attention and has been recognized as a public health problem with increased physical and mental health risks among the victims. This study attempted to assess understanding, experience, response and effect of sexual harassment among the secondary school female students in Kathmandu, Nepal.Methods: It was a mixed method study conducted among 441 secondary level female students. In quantitative component, a structured questionnaire was used to collect information relating to socio-demographic characteristics, and understanding, experience, response and effect of sexual harassment from 441 participants from three clusters (schools) of Tokha Municipality, Kathmandu. For qualitative method, two focused group discussions were conducted to assess the understanding of and response to sexual harassment. Quantitative and qualitative data were analyzed using Chi square test and thematic analysis method respectively.Results: Around 76% of the participants had experienced some forms of sexual harassment in their life. Sexual harassment was significantly associated with religion and parental occupation. Majority of participants who faced sexual harassment reported that the perpetrators were strangers and they either ignored it or did nothing at the time of events. School, roads and public places were the most common settings where participants encountered sexual harassment.Conclusions: Sexual harassment is prevalent among female secondary students in Kathmandu. However, they lacked a clear understating of and ways to respond to sexual harassment. Raising awareness to recognize and respond to different forms of harassment and to change the victim-blaming attitudes can be a potential strategy for tackling the problem in Nepalese society.
