UMA ABORDAGEM ETNOECOLÓGICA ABRANGENTE DA CAPOEIRA ANGOLA EM FEIRA DE SANTANA-BA
Authors: Santos Nayane Regina , Souto Francisco Bezerra
Published: September 2023

A relação entre os seres humanos e o meio ambiente não se limita apenas ao contato diário e uso de recursos naturais, mas também perpassa pela compreensão do mundo e seus significados. Os saberes e fazeres apreendidos através desta relação são transmitidos ao longo das gerações por meio da oralidade e são componentes importantes das culturas. Entre as muitas manifestações culturais geradoras de conhecimentos e práticas está a Capoeira Angola. O presente trabalho tem por objetivo abordar esta manifestação cultural sob a perspectiva da Etnoecologia Abrangente em escolas de capoeira no município de Feira de Santana (Bahia). Para tanto, foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com um total de 4 participantes, sendo dois Mestres, um Contramestre e uma Treinel, das três Escolas de Capoeira Angola existentes em Feira de Santana-BA. As entrevistas foram gravadas e transcritas de forma verbatim. Os resultados foram expressos em Bases Cognitivas, enfatizando os conhecimentos que os capoeiras possuem acerca dos recursos naturais utilizadas na Roda de Capoeira Angola, bem como o conhecimento difundido nas músicas entoadas; e Bases Conexivas, demonstrando as cinco conexões básicas estabelecidas, a saber: humano-mineral, ser humano-vegetal, ser humano- animal, ser humano-ser humano e ser humano-sobrenatural. Os resultados obtidos mostraram um amplo e específico conhecimento sobre recursos utilizados para a confecção dos instrumentos musicais, mas que também se expressaram em letras das músicas. As cinco conexões trabalhadas foram estabelecidas de forma consistente, estando todas indissociáveis da prática da capoeira Angola em Feira de Santana. Os dados gerados neste trabalho reforçam a abordagem etnoecológica abrangente como ferramenta metodológica e teórica eficiente também no estudo da capoeira.
LAS EMOCIONES Y LA RESIGNIFICACIÓN DE LA REALIDAD EN LAURA MONTOYA UPEGUI

Published: September 2023

Dado el creciente interés por la vida y obra de santa Laura Montoya Upegui, este artículo tiene como objetivo ubicar, a partir de la autobiografía Historia de las misericordias de Dios en un alma, algunas estrategias o recursos que usa la santa para la resignificación de la realidad frente al infortunio inmerecido y las circunstancias incontroladas. En el proceso investigativo se aplica el método hermenéutico de Hans-Georg Gadamer (1993), al considerar la intertextualidad como relación dialógica instaurando el diálogo con el pensamiento de la filósofa Martha Nussbaum. En la sociedad, dentro de lo global y lo particular, las problemáticas están allí para recordar su papel protagónico en la condición humana. Estas visibilizan la necesidad de adquirir conciencia ante la perpetua incertidumbre. Por lo tanto, adquiere gran importancia el sistema de creencias, la imaginación y el autoconocimiento emocional para resignificar la realidad, orientar las decisiones y encontrar sentido en una sociedad indiferente a las problemáticas sociales y en la que reina un conjunto de pensamientos que se asumen como verdaderos y que pueden reflejar el grado de libertad en la toma de decisiones o, del lado contrario, llevar a teorías normativas excesivas atentando contra la dignidad humana. Los anteriores aspectos confirman que en la autobiografía de Laura Montoya existe un hilo conductor de retrospectiva que le permite reconocer las emociones, confirmar quién es, vivir su mayor pasión y encontrar sentido afrontando las dificultades. Finalmente, estos resultados representan solo un paso en el proceso investigativo frente a la obra de una prolífica escritora.

The Attachment Relationship and Effects of Parent-Child Separation on School Adjustment
Authors: Oprea (Bobocea) Daniela
Published: September 2023

The attachment relationships developed by children towards their parents in the first years of life will be the stage on which all manifestations and physiological, emotional, cognitive functioning, social experiences, language development, acquisition of a sense of self and world will take place. These bonds create psychological structures that provide individuals with lifelong adaptive capacities, security, and confidence in relation to the attachment figure -the representative adult (Bowlby, 1969; Bretherton, 1992; Groh et al., 2017). Childhood is the setting in which emotional stability, the security offered by the presence of the adult, provides the premises for personality development. The temporary separation of children from their parents who choose to emigrate produces psycho-affective, social and educational imbalances. Our study investigated the relationship between parental attachment style and adaptive difficulties in the educational environment of children left at home after parental emigration. Statistical results indicate that school adjustment of children with emigrating parents is statistically significantly predicted by attachment style.
Machine Translation Shortcomings and Teaching Translation
Authors: Mirzoyeva Leila
Published: September 2023

Nowadays, machine translation is considered to be a frequently used tool to render various types of texts related to such different spheres as science, film industry, etc. Statement of the problem: currently, as the higher school system in Kazakhstan starts its’ integration process into world education (Kolomejceva & Makeeva, 2004), together with the re-structuring of the system itself it is a priority to translate course books and manuals from English into Kazakh and Russian and to adapt them for Kazakhstani students. A significant amount of information to be translated and the need to do it at the short notice might cause the use of machine translation tools to speed the translation process up. To clarify advantages and disadvantages of machine translation (especially for manuals and course books), the author applied such methodology as comparative analysis of the source text and its’ translated version. As a result, it is possible to state that machine translation tools are not able to replace the human translation of such complicated texts; moreover, the need of meticulous proofreading of target text is obvious as well as the urgent necessity of translation quality improvement. On the other hand, all the errors which have been observed in the target text, should be specified, categorized, and used in teaching scientific text translation to make it better. The exercises based on comparative analysis and target text proofreading can be considered as an effective tool for translators’ skills development.  The author had chosen the course book Natural Gas Processing from Midstream to Downstream by Elbashir et al. (2019) and its Russian version as a research material for pre-translation and comparative analysis and then for the target text proofreading. So the main goals of the given research consisted in (1) finding out the inappropriate cases of translation; (2) explaining the type of error and (3) preparing the exercises to prevent making such mistakes by our students in Translation Studies and, generally, to improve pre-service translators’ competencies.

Authors: Bulut Devrim , Çelen Aylin
Published: September 2023

Educational institutions play a major role in meeting social needs and expectations. Particularly, the Community Service Practices (CSP) course within universities offers students the opportunity to engage in social activities with the community, to gain awareness of social responsibility, and to get to know the community from different perspectives. For this reason, this research was carried out to determine the opinions of the Faculty of Sport Sciences students who took the 'Community Service Practices' course before taking it and their gains after the course. A total of 53 students who were studying at Bolu Abant İzzet Baysal University Faculty of Sports Sciences and taking Community Service Practices course participated in the research.
The research was applied in two parts as before and after the application. Before the application, the students were asked about their expectations about the CPS course in the form of open-ended questions and their answers were requested in writing. At the end of the application process, 14 people were determined to participate in the interview voluntarily, and focus group interviews were held with semi -structured questions. The questions directed to the students were recorded using the note-taking technique. The data obtained from the students' opinions were coded independently by two researchers by making descriptive and content analysis. As a result of the research, it is observed that the students show positive progress in terms of social awareness, social responsibility, communication, professional experience and cooperation with the CPS course in the university programs.
The Values Adopted by Parents for the Effective Education of Children
Authors: Șițoiu Andreea , Pânişoară Georgeta
Published: September 2023

This study contributes to determining the relationship between the human values by which today's parents are guided and the level of parental competence demonstrated by them. At the same time, the link between the number of children of the parent and the empathy shown by him, respectively the ability to ensure an effective education, is analyzed. The human values measured in the study are hedonism, self-guidance and goodwill. In total, the answers collected from 610 respondents who fulfill the status of parents (87% of the female gender and 13% of the male gender) with ages from under 20 years (1%) to over 50 years (19%) were analyzed.
The results indicate that as parents manage to find a balance between their own pleasures and the satisfaction of the children's needs, the level of parental competence increases as a result of the well-being felt by the parent (r = 0.19, p < .001). Parents who manage to approach everyday problems creatively, creativity being a central element of the human value of self-guidance, demonstrated a higher level of parental competence (r = 0.17, p < .001), while honesty as a sub-value of human value goodwill was also associated with parental competence (r = 0.18, p < .001). At the same time, the results indicate that the level of empathy of the parent does not increase progressively with the number of his children, and parental skills can be proven independently of the number of children of the parent.
Variaciones sociosemióticas del simbolismo de Sol y Luna entre los pueblos pano*
Authors: Moulian Tesmer Rodrigo , Fleck Zuazo David William
Published: September 2023

El artículo analiza y contrasta los patrones de modelización sociosemiótica de Sol y Luna que codifican los significados denotados y las representaciones sociales de los astros en los grupos étnicos de la familia lingüística pano. El estudio de estos motivos simbólicos constituye una vía de aproximación al campo cultural pano que ofrece datos sobre su configuración interna y sus relaciones externas. La estrategia de investigación empleada es el estudio de casos, y las unidades de análisis son los patrones de modelizaciónprimaria o lingüística y secundaria o discursiva de los astros. Los datos muestran homogeneidad lingüística y heterogeneidad discursiva. El catastro de representaciones revela la coexistencia de una diversidad deconcepciones de Sol y Luna en términos ontológicos, de género y modalidades de relación asignadas a estas entidades. En el marco de su sistema de variantes y transformaciones se distinguen dos etnomodelos predominantes en grupos pano de ciertas áreas geográficas, los que presentan importantes correlatos transculturales: Sol como divinidad creadora y Luna como ancestro devenido en astro. El primero de estos etnomodelos es afín a las concepciones andinas del astro; el segundo, ampliamente registrado en las mitologías de los pueblos amazónicos, muestra aquí un sistema de transducciones que informan de su antiguo arraigo.

Lorenzo Palacios, Chacalón: el ídolo popular en el siglo XXI
Authors: Quispe Lázaro Arturo
Published: September 2023

En este artículo, abordaré los procesos sociales y culturales que intervienen en la configuración y vigencia del ídolo popular de la música tropical peruana chicha, «Papá Chacalón». Él fue un cantante que surgió de los sectores más marginados de la sociedad limeña. Entre sus seguidores se encuentran alcaldes, presos que purgan condena en cárceles, así como hombres y mujeres de los barrios de Lima. A varios lustros de fallecido, hay una nueva legión de fans, de «chicheros chacaloneros». El ídolo popular, en este contexto, se configura a partir y desde la relación cotidiana entre Chacalón y sus seguidores. En este trabajo, pondré especial énfasis en la relación ídolo-seguidor/a, en las formas de relación social y las valoraciones culturales que intervienen. Sostendré que las ideas de igualdad y reconocimiento social son elementos centrales en la construcción de «Papá Chacalón» como ídolo popular y su continuidad en el siglo XXI. Este es un trabajo etnográfico llevado a cabo en las festividades de aniversario de Chacalón realizadas el 26 de abril (día de su nacimiento) y el 24 de junio (día de su fallecimiento), que aborda también la organización de sus seguidores en torno a estas fechas.
Una mirada al cultivo de la quinua en el Departamento de Boyacá
Authors: Morillo Coronado Ana Cruz , Manjarres Hernández Elsa Helena , Morillo Coronado Yacenia , González Mendoza Leonardo Ariel
Published: September 2023

La quinua (Chenopodium quinoa Willd) es un cultivo de tradición andina,
con excelentes propiedades nutricionales y metabólicos secundarios con
uso potencial en la industria, y una amplia adaptación a condiciones
agroclimatológicas extremas que hacen de ella una de las especies
promisorias para enfrentar las consecuencias del cambio climático a nivel
mundial. Dada su actual importancia económica, nutricional y social, sus
áreas de siembra alrededor del mundo se han incrementado, a pesar de
ser considerada una especie de subsistencia y de pequeños agricultores.
En Colombia, especialmente en los departamentos productores (Nariño,
Cundinamarca, Boyacá) se está incentivando su cultivo, dado su potencial
agronómico y de producción, sin embargo, a la fecha son escasos los estudios
sobre su comportamiento, biológico, fisiológico, agronómico y genético.
Aún, cuando el departamento de Boyacá cuenta con las condiciones
edafoclimáticas y agroecológicas necesarias para el desarrollo del cultivo
de la quinua y una colección de germoplasma, la falta de material de
siembra certificado, la baja tecnificación, el desconocimiento del mercado
y la cadena de valor de la quinua, hace que todavía no se aprovechen las
ventajas comparativas que tiene el departamento frente a este cultivo. El
país no cuenta con programas de mejoramiento encaminados hacia la
selección e identificación de variedades de alto rendimiento, con resistencia
a factores bióticos y abióticos, son los mismos agricultores quienes ciclo tras
ciclo seleccionan su material de siembra, razón por la cual en los campos
de cultivo se puede observar una alta variación fenotípica en las plantas.
Dentro de este contexto, en la presente obra se busca abordar diferentes
aspectos del cultivo de la quinua partiendo de sus procesos de origen y
domesticación, su importancia a nivel mundial, nacional y regional, sus
usos, su comportamiento fisiológico y la caracterización de su germoplasma
como una primera aproximación hacia el conocimiento de este recurso
genético y su uso sostenible dentro de programas de mejoramiento que
busquen la identificación de nuevos y mejores materiales adaptados a
las condiciones locales y que respondan a las necesidades del agricultor,
productor y consumidor y que permitan dar solución a las principales
problemáticas que afectan actualmente al cultivo de la quinua en Colombia.

Protagonismo feminino nos filmes de quadrinhos
Authors: Pirajá Tess Chamusca , Cerqueira Ítalo
Published: September 2023

Com o objetivo de problematizar os corpos femininos que habitam os filmes centrados em super-heroínas, analisamos neste artigo os quatro primeiros filmes lançados pelos estúdios da DC e da Marvel com protagonismo feminino, no momento posterior ao de construção de seus respectivos universos cinematográficos. Para analisar Mulher-Maravilha, Capitã Marvel, Esquadrão Suicida e Aves de Rapina, convocamos perfomance como conceito metodológico a partir de Schechner, Taylor, Cardoso Filho e Gutmann e Gutmann. Tensionamos questões de distintas dimensões dos filmes desde como são realizadas suas filmagens, as negociações em torno do suposto vínculo entre mulher, emotividade e romance heterossexual, além da opressão de gênero e a busca por autonomia. Concluímos, a maioria das obras apresentou valores que são comuns aos feminismos, mas também negociaram e, muitas vezes, assumiram as posições designadas para as mulheres em culturas masculinas.
Statistical inferences for the Weibull distribution under adaptive progressive type-II censoring plan and their application in wind speed data analysis
Authors: Kazempoor Jaber , Habibirad Arezou , Ahmadi Nadi Adel , Mohtashami Borzadaran Gholam Reza
Published: September 2023

This paper provides four well-known statistical inferences for the principal parameters regarding the two-parameter Weibull distribution including its hazard, quantile, and survival function based on an adaptive progressive type-II censoring plan. The statistical inferences involve the likelihood and approximate likelihood methods, the Bayesian approach, the bootstrap procedure, and a new conditional technique. To construct Bayesian point estimators and credible intervals, Markov chain Monte Carlo, Metropolis-Hastings, and Gibbs sampling algorithms were used. The Bayesian estimators are developed under conjugate and non-conjugate priors and in the presence of symmetric and asymmetric loss functions. In addition, a conditional estimation technique with interesting distributional characteristics has been introduced. The aforementioned methods are compared extensively through a series of simulations. The results of comparative study showed the superiority of the conditional approach over the other ones. Finally, the developed methods are applied to analyze well-known wind speed data.
Gaussian quantum systems and Kahler geometrical structure
Authors: Yaremenko Mykola
Published: September 2023

In this article, we study the phase-space distribution of the quantum state as a framework to describe the different properties of quantum systems in continuous-variable systems. The natural approach to quantum systems is given the Gaussian Wigner representation, to unify the description of bosonic and fermionic quantum states, we study the structure of the Kahler space geometry as the geometry generated by three forms under the agreement conditions depended on the nature of the state bosonic or fermionic. Multi-mode light is studied, and we established that the Fock space vacuum corresponds to a certain homogeneous Gaussian state.
Estimation problem for continuous time stochastic processes with periodically correlated increments
Authors: Luz Maksym , Moklyachuk Mikhail
Published: September 2023

We deal with the problem of optimal estimation of the linear functionals constructed from unobserved values of a continuous time stochastic process with periodically correlated increments based on past observations of this process. To solve the problem, we construct a corresponding to the process sequence of stochastic functions which forms an infinite dimensional vector stationary increment sequence. In the case of known spectral density of the stationary increment sequence, we obtain formulas for calculating values of the mean square errors and the spectral characteristics of the optimal estimates of the functionals. Formulas determining the least favorable spectral densities and the minimax (robust) spectral characteristics of the optimal linear estimates of functionals are derived in the case where the sets of admissible spectral densities are given.

Postmodern Bir Karşı Masal “Kırmızı Başlıklı Kız Ağlıyor” Adlı Gençlik Romanında Cinsel İstismar
Authors: NÜZKET ÖZEN Neriman
Published: September 2023

Batıda Alman gençlik ve çocuk edebiyatında büyük öneme sahip olan Grimm masalları yüzyıllardan bu yana popülerliklerini korumaktadırlar. Ama aynı zamanda geçmişten günümüze doğru içinde bulundukları her yüzyılda değişime uğramış ve evrilmişlerdir. Özellikle postmodern düşüncenin edebiyat üzerindeki etkisi ile masallar da yapısöküme uğratılmaya, ters yüz edilmeye ve karşı masallar şeklinde yeniden yazılmaya başlanmışlardır. Metinlerarasılığın izlerini taşıyan bu karşı masallar klasik masalların motif ve figürlerini ters yüz ederek onlara yeni anlamlar yüklemekte ve kimi zaman da tabu sayılan konuları ele almaktadırlar. Bu çalışmanın amacı Alman gençlik edebiyatı yazarı Hanika’nın aile içi cinsel taciz ve istismar konusunu ele aldığı ve klasik Kırmızı Başlıklı Kız masalına bir karşı masal biçiminde yazdığı bol ödüllü Kırmızı Başlıklı Kız Ağlıyor adlı romanında yer alan motif ve figürleri postmodern öğeler ve metinlerarasılık bağlamında incelemek ve hangi motiflerin ters yüz edildiğini görünür kılmaktır.

Introduction: Radiation therapy (RT) has recently demonstrated promise at stimulating an enhanced immune response. The recent success of immunotherapies, such as checkpoint inhibitors, CART cells, and other immune modulators, affords new opportunities for combination with radiation. Methods: In this study, VISTA, an immune checkpoint, was blocked either by genetic knockout (KO) or an inhibitory antibody and combined with RT in two syngeneic murine cancer models. Selected mRNA, immune cell infiltration, and tumor growth delay were used to assess the biological effects. Results: When combined with a single 15 Gy radiation doses, both VISTA blockade techniques significantly enhanced anti-tumor immune signaling pathways at the mRNA, cellular infiltration level and tumor growth delay. The data suggests that the mechanism behind the enhanced tumor control is primarily a result of increased apoptosis and immune mediated cytotoxicity. Conclusion: VISTA blockade significantly enhances the anti-tumor effect of a single dose of 15 Gy radiation through increased expression and stimulation of cell mediated apoptosis pathways. These results suggest that VISTA is a biologically relevant immune promoter that has the potential to enhance the efficacy of a large single radiation dose in a synergic manner.
Advancing Urban Wastewater Management: Optimizing Sewer System Performance Through Innovative Material Selection for the Armlet with Wet Circuit Measurement System
Authors: Sionkowski Tomasz , Halecki Wiktor , Chmielowski Krzysztof
Published: September 2023

Rainwater infiltration presents substantial challenges for urban wastewater management systems. This article delves into enhancing the quality of wastewater systems by proposing a novel device designed to tackle this issue comprehensively. The focal point of our research revolves around the conceptualization, construction, rigorous testing, and the potential multifaceted applications of this innovative wastewater device. Our study is dedicated to assessing the viability of a cutting-edge apparatus that empowers municipal entities in swiftly identifying rainwater ingress points within channels during precipitation events. Our findings vividly showcase the device's remarkable capability to directly measure moisture levels along the channel's path, eliminating the arduous need for manual data input, extensive data collection, and intricate water analysis procedures. To ensure the seamless flow of both sewage and water within the sewer channel, the use of a relatively slender strap is conventionally favored. However, factoring in the requisite structural robustness, we recommend a minimum thickness of 4 mm for 3D printing applications. For instances where maintaining the channel's cross-sectional area integrity is paramount, opting for a armlet with wet circuit measurement thickness of up to 7 mm is prudent. In the realm of material selection, our investigation advocates for the utilization of PC/ABS (polycarbonate/ Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene), ABS, ASA (Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate), or HIPS (High Impact Polystyrene) for the strap housing. For sewer diameters surpassing 315 mm, the application of thin-walled PVC (Poly Vinyl Chloride) emerges as a practical recommendation. Notably, the incorporation of PVC flat bars is discouraged, as their presence might potentially hinder the fluidity of sewage flow, thereby compromising the precision of wet circuit measurements. The pivotal innovation lies in the armlet with wet circuit measurement system, harboring immense potential for broad-scale integration across municipal facilities. This solution emerges as a streamlined and efficient strategy, offering a comprehensive avenue for continuously monitoring, fine-tuning, and optimizing the structural soundness and operational efficacy of sewer systems.
Index for Adaptive Responses (InARes): A New Framework for Evaluating Adaptive, Functional Traits considering Complex Environments
Authors: Kiene Marvin , Diel Patricia , Schott Matthias , Martin-Creuzburg Dominik , Laforsch Christian
Published: September 2023

The focus of recent research shifts towards complex ‘whole organism’ responses (i.e., in multiple functional traits) in adaptation to or to defend against stressors under complex environmental conditions. This increasing complexity is challenging to analyse and demands sophisticated tools to drive meaningful conclusions from those data. Trait-based regression models, multivariate analyses, like principal component analyses, and plasticity indices can be used to tackle challenges with those complex investigations. But those methods have substantial limitations, like the need for high sample size, multi-dimensionality of results or the need for trait coordination in high-dimensional space, or the calculation on the population level, which might buffer or cover the de facto occurring individual effects. To improve and simplify studies on ‘whole organism’ responses, analyses, and their interpretation, we developed the Index for Adaptive Responses. This straightforward framework can unite all traits of an organism in one number. A newly developed transformation method, included in this framework, comprises a normalisation and standardisation to a baseline or control without changing the data or variance structure of the original data. We assessed the performance and accuracy of the framework with an application in an extensive predator-prey case study, with simulations and application examples using literature data. We show that the Index for Adaptive Responses respects adaptations as well as maladaptations and outperforms established approaches. The framework is robust against outliers and non-gaussian distribution. We further show that the qualitative prediction of the adaptiveness of included traits is highly accurate, even under challenging conditions, e.g., low replicate numbers. Functions and algorithms of the framework are provided with an R package but can easily be translated into other programming languages. The Index for Adaptive Responses will simplify future research on complex adaptive responses and improves our understanding of these responses’ ecological as well as evolutionary implications.

The master molecular regulators and mechanisms determining longevity and health span include nitric oxide (NO) and superoxide anion radicals (SOR). L-arginine, the NO synthase (NOS) substrate, can restore a healthy ratio between the dangerous SOR and the protective NO radical to promote healthy aging. Antioxidant supplementation orchestrates protection against oxidative stress and damage—L-arginine and antioxidants such as vitamin C increase NO production and bioavailability. Uncoupling of NO generation with the appearance of SOR can be induced by asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA). L-arginine can displace ADMA from the site of NO formation if sufficient amounts of the amino acid are available. Antioxidants such as ascorbic acids can scavenge SOR and increase the bioavailability of NO. The topics of this review are the complex interactions of antioxidant agents with L-arginine, which determine NO bioactivity and protection against age-related degeneration.

Effect of Vibration Behavior in Low-Frequency Vibration Cutting on Surface Properties of Workpiece

Published: September 2023

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of vibration behavior on workpiece surface properties in low-frequency vibration cutting. The effects of the parameters that determine vibration behavior on surface roughness were quantitatively evaluated through a comparison with other cutting conditions. Furthermore, by clarifying how the surface properties of the workpiece, such as roughness, roundness, and cross-sectional curves, change depending on the vibration behavior, a search for optimal conditions for low-frequency vibration cutting was conducted. The best surface properties were obtained under the condition of spindle rotation per vibration E=4.5. By using a value close to the minimum possible spindle rotation R=0.5 when the workpiece is retracted, it is expected to be effective in suppressing the variation in surface roughness at each phase angle; this variation is characteristic of low-frequency vibration cutting. Workpieces machined under low-frequency vibration conditions such as (E=2.5, R=1.0) and (E=3.5, R=1.0) were found to form characteristic surface patterns on the workpiece surface owing to a phenomenon in which the depth of the cut to the workpiece changes.

Published: September 2023

The temperature control performance of a developed temperature feedback control system was experimentally investigated. The control system was based on a real-time temperature control of a cooling fluid. In particular, this study focused on the temperature control performance of a built-in motor spindle that used the developed temperature fedback control system. The built-in motor used in the study had water cooling jackets. The temperature of the built-in motor spindle was measured and feedback into the developed temperature feedback control system. Temperature control accuracy of the built-in motor spindle under steady state was then assessed. Furthermore, the effects of the time-variant changes in spindle rotation and ambient temperature on the performance of the temperature control system was investigated. The results of the experiments show that the temperature control accuracy of the built-in motor spindle under steady state condition was ±0.03°C. The temperature control performance of the built-in motor spindle under changes in the rotational speed of the spindle was examined. The experimental results show that the temperature change of the spindle could be suppressed to a maximum of approximately 0.3°C under transient state during sudden change in spindle speed. In addition, the effects of the changes in ambient and cooling water temperatures, which simulated actual environmental operating conditions, on the spindle temperature were investigated. The results show that the change in the spindle temperature could be suppressed by approximately less than ±0.1°C. These experimental results indicate that the developed temperature feedback control system achieved high temperature control accuracy and high response for the built-in motor spindle. In particular, the developed control system successfully controlled the time-variant change in the generated heat, thereby improving the thermal stability of the machine tool spindle.
Patriotisme sebagai Ruang Ketiga: Praktik Ritual Adat Ujung Mantra dalam Masyarakat Gucialit-Lumajang
Authors: Salam Aprinus
Published: September 2023

Perubahan prosesi ritual adat dalam suatu tradisi masyarakat merupakan hal yang lazim terjadi seiring pergerakan sosiokultural masyarakat. Bagaimana tradisi dan budaya berubah di antara pergerakan manusia secara kolektif, periode sejarah, dan hubungan dilematis antara agama, budaya (adat), dan transisi lainnya. Tulisan ini memusatkan perhatian pada upacara adat ujung mantra masyarakat Lumajang. Apakah ujung mantra pada masyarakat Gucialit Lumajang yang menuju modern masih mempertahankan otentitasnya? Sebagai ruang kultural, berdasarkan data historisnya, Lumajang adalah wilayah diaspora sehingga sebagian besar masyarakatnya adalah Madura-Jawa dan masyarakat Gucialit, sebagian besar beragama Islam. Bahasan utama tulisan, adalah sejarah, praktik, dan perubahan-perubahan yang terjadi dalam upacara adat ujung mantra. Di balik praktik ritual tercipta ruang liminal dengan menghadirkan wacana patriotik. Tujuan upacara bergeser dari ritual pemanggil hujan menjadi mencipta kerukunan antarwarga. Patriotisme sebagai strategi pengalihan wacana dan alternatif untuk melebur persinggungan antara agama, budaya, dan modernitas di dalam ruang ketiga (ujung mantra).
