Published: January 2024

Asam humat merupakan senyawa organik heterogen yang terdegradasi dan umumnya berwarna kuning hingga hitam yang diakibatkan dari peran senyawa ini sebagai substrat bagi perkembangan mikroorganisme. Asam humat dapat bereaksi dengan spesi klor yang umum digunakan dalam disinfektan sehingga menghasilkan trihalometana (THM) yang dapat menyebabkan kanker dan keracunan pada manusia, sehingga diperlukan proses untuk mendegradasi asam humat sebelum membentuk THM. Salah satu metode yang dapat mendegradasi asam humat ialah metode foto fenton. Tujuan penelitian kali ini ialah mengetahui pengaruh pH larutan asam humat dan pengaruh variasi konsentrasi larutan asam humat terhadap foto fenton dalam mendegradasi senyawa asam humat. Penelitian ini menggunakan variasi pH 3, 4, dan 5. Setelah didapatkan pH optimum, maka dilanjutkan dengan uji variasi konsentrasi asam humat sebesar 15, 20, dan 25 ppm. Hasil yang didapatkan ialah pH optimum dalam mendegradasi asam humat menggunakan metode foto fenton yaitu pH 5 dengan persen degradasi di menit ke-300 sebesar 88,617%, sedangkan pada pH 4 didapatkan sebesar 86,175% dan pH 3 sebesar 75,408%. Perbedaan hasil yang didapatkan karena semakin pH mendekati basa, maka semakin banyak OH• yang dihasilkan. Konsentrasi optimum yang didapatkan dalam mendegradasi asam humat ialah 15 ppm dengan persen degradasi pada menit ke-300 sebesar 88,617%, sedangkan pada 20 ppm didapatkan sebesar 87,751% dan 25 ppm sebesar 86,504%. Perbedaan hasil didapatkan karena semakin rendah konsentrasi pada larutan maka polutan yang terdapat pada larutan lebih mudah untuk terdegradasi. Dari hasil yang didapatkan dapat disimpulkan bahwa pH sangat berpengaruh terhadap proses foto fenton, sedangkan konsentrasi larutan asam humat tidak terlalu berpengaruh

Improving Press Bending Production Quality through Finite Element Simulation: Integration CAD and CAE Approach
Authors: Chrissandhi Erico Sofyan , Pujiyanto Eko , Yuniarto Tonny A.
Published: January 2024

Efficient operations and output of outstanding quality distinguish superior manufacturing sectors. The manufacturing process production of bending sheet metal is a form of fabrication in the industry of manufacture in which the plate is bent using punches and dies to the angle of the work design. Product quality is influenced by plate material selection, which includes thickness, type, dimensions, and material. Because no prior research has concentrated on this methodology, this research aims to determine V-bending capacity limits utilizing the press bending method. The inquiry employed finite element analysis (FEA), along with Solidworks was the tool of choice to develop drawings of design and simulations. The ASTM E290 standard guides this study. The software in this package may combine CAD (Computer-Aided Design) and CAE (Computer-Aided Engineering) without requiring extra design applications. This study tested SPCC and SPHC plate materials with five thickness variations. The findings embrace the number of failure risks associated with press bending exhibited on the von Mises stress diagram, which is directly proportional to showing the thickness limit of each material type throughout the bending process. The study's findings lay the groundwork for improving manufacturing quality by lowering the number of faulty goods produced by trial and error. Because the maximum allowable die width is 12 mm, the thickness limit of the press bending process is 2 mm. However, due to the greater intensity of the SPCC material, it has a reduced defect rate compared to SPHC material.

Authors: Golham Mohammed Abas , Al-Ahmed Ali Hussein Ali
Published: January 2024

Using fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) could effectively improve the strength and endurance of reinforced concrete (RC) constructions. This study evaluated the flexural behavior of one-way concrete slabs with openings reinforced with glass fiber-reinforced polymers (GFRP) bars. It strengthened using carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets around the openings. The experimental program of this study is adopted by casting and testing four one-way concrete slabs with dimensions of (150*750*2650) mm. These slabs are divided into two groups based on whether they were strengthened or un-strengthened. For each group, two different openings (either one rectangular or two square) measured 250*500 mm and 250*250 mm, respectively, were fabricated within the pure flexural zone of the specimens. The experimental results indicate that using CFRP strips increases the maximum load capacity by around 29% for the slab with one rectangular opening and 21% for the slab with two square openings compared to the un-strengthened slabs. On the other hand, the deflection at a service load is decreased by about 35% and 37% for the slabs mentioned above, respectively.
Prebisch, García Vázquez y Grinspun: antecedentes de la política económica en las vísperas del gobierno de Alfonsín
Authors: Rossi Ignacio
Published: January 2024

Los estudios de economía, historia económica y economía política que abordaron diversas problemáticas de los años de Raúl Alfonsín (1983-1989) pusieron una menor atención en el primer plan económico de Bernardo Grinspun (1983-1985). El trabajo propone revisar algunas definiciones de política económica previas al mismo en las que colaboraron los asesores económicos, como aquellos debates de la misma índole desarrollados en los meses previos a la asunción presidencial de 1983. Así, se consultaron los documentos de la agrupación de partidos políticos La Multipartidaria, la plataforma electoral de la Unión Cívica Radical (UCR) y la prensa periódica de alcance nacional, entre otras fuentes, buscando reconstruir el debate económico en los años previos a 1983. Sostenemos que relevar dichos debates se torna significativo para entender los basamentos previos del primer plan económico de la democracia, y específicamente que varias medidas económicas proyectadas tempranamente se inscribieron en un contexto de difícil perduración dado las inconsistencias más generales de la economía argentina.
“El elogio de la juventud”. Movilización política y representaciones sobre las juventudes radicales durante la primera experiencia democrática (Buenos Aires, 1916-1922)
Authors: Carreño Luciana
Published: January 2024

El artículo analiza las representaciones sobre la juventud elaboradas por la Unión Cívica Radical (UCR) y reconstruye una serie de acciones y medidas dirigidas hacia ese sector durante la primera presidencia de Hipólito Yrigoyen (1916-1922). Junto a otros documentos, se recurre principalmente a un corpus de fuentes compuesto por noticias y escritos de la prensa política partidaria en el periodo considerado. Las conclusiones afirman la relevancia que adquirieron las juventudes en el discurso y la organización del partido, la cual, si bien se inscribía dentro de una tradición previa, se renovaba en el marco de las estrategias electorales y las políticas implementadas por la UCR a partir de la reforma electoral de 1912 y del acceso al gobierno nacional. Finalmente, a través del caso estudiado, las conclusiones plantean interrogantes más amplios que ayudan a reflexionar sobre la configuración histórica de las juventudes en las primeras décadas del siglo XX.

Published: January 2024

Speech perception is an audiovisual process during which a listener uses both the auditory speech signals as well as visual, oral articulations to understand the speaker. These sensory inputs are merged into a single, unified process known as multisensory integration. Audiovisual speech integration is known to be influenced by many factors, including listener experience. In this study, investigated the roles of bilingualism and language experience on integration. We used a McGurk paradigm in which participants were presented with incongruent auditory and visual speech. This included an auditory utterance of “ba” paired with visual articulations of “ga” that often induce the perception of “da” or “tha”, a fusion effect that is strong evidence of integration, as well as an auditory utterance of “ga” paired with visual articulations of “ba” that often induce the perception of “bga”, a combination effect that is weaker evidence of integration. We compared fusion and combination effects on three groups (N=20 each), English monolinguals, Spanish-English bilinguals, and Arabic-English bilinguals, with stimuli presented in all three languages. Monolinguals exhibited significantly stronger multisensory integration than bilinguals in fusion effects, regardless of the stimulus language. Bilinguals exhibited a non-significant trend by which greater experience led to increased integration as measured by fusion. These results held regardless of whether McGurk presentations were presented as stand-alone syllables or in the context of real words. No effects were observed in combination effects.
A lesson in port citizenship: Regimes of historicity in maritime museums in Yokohama, Japan, 1961-2022
Authors: Ma Scott
Published: January 2024

This article applies the framework of François Hartog’s regime of historicity to a comparative and historical study of three successive maritime museums in postwar Yokohama, Japan. Each museum was operated by the city to educate its citizens about Yokohama’s maritime identity, though through different affectively-laced temporal organizations that reflected evolving conceptions of municipal identity. The article distinguishes between “scientific universalism” in the Marine Science Museum (1961-1988), “romantic futurism” at the Maritime Museum (1989-2009), and “nostalgic presentism” at the Port Museum (2009-). As evidence of each historical regime, the article uses the form and content of exhibits, architectural changes to the museum building, and fieldwork when possible. Over the course of time, the spirit of the museum shifted from the natural sciences to romanticism and, lastly, nostalgia. These museums show how temporality-infused historiography has implications for the politics of identity.

Background: Penile fracture is a rare accident whose diagnosis relies on a stereotyped history and a physical examination. Early surgical intervention is recommended. In Africa, as well as in Benin, research on this pathology is limited due to likely underreporting, possibly linked to cultural factors. Objectives: This study aims to examine the epidemiological, clinical, therapeutic, and evolutionary aspects of penile fracture. Methods: It is a retrospective and descriptive study collecting records of patients treated and followed for penile fracture at the Urology Department of CNHU-HKM in Cotonou between January 2010 and March 2021. Results: Over the course of 10 years, 23 cases of penile fracture were identified, representing a frequency of 2.3 cases per year. The average age of patients was 35 years, with a predominance of married individuals (n=17). Coital misstep was the primary circumstance of occurrence (n=15). The cracking sound (n=14), pain (n=23), swelling of the penis (n=16), and detumescence (n=23) were the main clinical signs. The average time to medical intervention was 13 hours. Surgical treatment with a circumferential approach under the coronal ridge was employed for all patients. The average duration of hospitalization was 60 hours. The prevalence of erectile dysfunction was 8.7% (IIEF-5). Conclusion: Penile fracture is a rare traumatic emergency. Diagnosis is facilitated by a stereotyped clinical presentation. Early surgical intervention is the optimal treatment for a favorable functional outcome.

Skew Lomax Distribution, Parameter Estimation, Its Properties, and Applications
Authors: Gaire Arjun Kumar
Published: January 2024

In this paper, a three-parameter distribution called the ‘Skew-Lomax’ distribution is proposed, which is the special case of the Azzalini distribution to generalize the Lomax distribution. The Lomax distribution is also called Pareto type II distribution, which is a heavy-tailed continuous probability distribution for a non-negative random variable. The statistical properties of the proposed Skew-Lomax distribution, including mean, variance,  moments about the origin, cumulative distribution function, hazard rate function, quantile function, and the random number generation have been derived. Also, the method of maximum likelihood and the method of moment to estimate the parameters of this distribution have been proposed. Three real data sets have been used to illustrate the usefulness, flexibility, and application of the proposed distribution. The coefficient of determination, chi-square test statistics, and the sum of the square of error depicts that the proposed model is more flexible than the Lomax distribution.

Purpose - Career adaptability is an important concept in organizational behaviour, especially in today's quickly changing work environment, and firms worldwide face the challenge of retaining employees due to high turnover intentions. Drawing on Career construction theory, this study analyses the association between career adaptability and employee turnover intention in Nepalese private commercial banks.

Design/Methodology/Approach -The explanatory research design examined the causal relationship between the career adaptability dimension and employee turnover intention. Cross-sectional data were collected from 380 respondents by using a convenience sampling technique. The data was analyzed quantitatively using structural equation modelling.

Findings - Results show concern, curiosity, and confidence play a significant role in predicting turnover intention. Surprisingly, control does not seem to have a relevant influence on turnover intention.

Research Limitations/Implications - The scope of this study is restricted to the banking professionals of Kathmandu Valley, self-reported bias, and cross-sectional data, which limits the generalizability of the findings. The study contributes to the expanding topic of career adaptability and turnover intention by underlining the significance of psychological factors in lowering turnover rates.

Practical Implication- The application of this research is extensive, and organizations can use the findings to improve their recruitment practices and provide the necessary training for workers to adapt to changing careers while considering social and cultural factors, which can aid in retaining employees and enhancing organizational productivity.

Originality/Value - To the author's best knowledge, this study is one of the first attempts to examine the association between career adaptability and employee turnover intention in the banking industry by using Structural Equation Modelling and Career construction theory.

Background: : According to 2019 WHO data, 7 out of 10 main causes of death in 2019 were non-communicable diseases. Diabetes has become one of the main causes of death (WHO 2020). In 2019 there were around 463 million adults living with Diabetes Mellitus worldwide and as many as 90-95% had Type II DM (IDF 2019). Based on the 2018 (Riskesdas) results, the national prevalence of type II DM reached 8.5% of the total population. A total of 12 provinces have DM prevalence above the national prevalence, namely East Java province (Riskesdas 2018). In the city of Batu, type II DM is one of the 10 most common diseases, namely 4,329 people (Central Statistics Agency for Batu City 2018). Management of type II DM includes 6 pillars, one of which is medical nutrition therapy. This principle requires 3J orderliness. Based on the type, nutrients are divided into 2. The minerals Zinc and Selenium are examples of micronutrients. This mineral includes metalloenzyme minerals which work as antioxidants, so they have the potential to prevent degenerative diseases (Ozenc et al., 2015) in (Yuliati Widiastuti 2016). Objective: To determine the level of Zn and Se consumption in type II DM patients treated at RSU Karsa Husada Batu. Design: Descriptive Observational using incidental sampling. Results: Nine type II DM patients were collected with severe deficits in Zn consumption, normal Se and high GDS levels Conclusions: A deficit level of Zn consumption influences the results of higher GDS levels, whereas an excessive level of Se consumption accompanied by normal Zn can produce GDS levels that are close to normal.
