Alkali-activated concrete (AAC) have attracted increasing attention in research due to their impressive mechanical strength. This growing interest stems from the exceptional potential of AAC in contributing to sustainable developments in construction. However, the electrochemical behaviour of reinforced AAC and the corrosion mechanisms at the steel-matrix interface is not clear yet. Therefore, to investigate the electrochemical behaviour and corrosion mechanisms of AAC, specimens across 5 different mixed ratios were subjected to two corrosive environments and one reference environment, including (1) cyclic wetting/drying corrosion; (2) 3.5% NaCl saltwater immersion; (3) tap water immersion. Electrochemical techniques include half-cell potential, linear polarization resistance, and Tafel extrapolation method were employed. The electrochemical results show that the conventional Tafel constant B values of 26 mV and 52 mV which are applied for reinforced ordinary Portland cement concrete may not be suitable for AAMs.

Underground thermal energy storage (UTES) is a promising approach for large-scale and long-term energy storage and has attracted significant interest in recent years worldwide. Ensuring the stability and durability of UTES structures is crucial for long-term functionality and serviceability. However, the UTES facilities may experience concrete degradation over time, compromising the efficacy of thermal energy storage. Comprehensive research on the endurance of concrete materials for thermal energy storage is still lacking. This study proposes an experimental strategy by designing a bespoke multiphysics experimental system to replicate the in-situ conditions (e.g. temperature fluctuation, pore pressure change and chemical corrosion) during thermal energy storage. By analysing the concrete mechanical degradation and microstructure evolution, the failure mechanisms of concrete materials under multi-physical environments could be clarified and the UTES service life could be predicted.
TIME-DEPENDENT RELIABILITY ANALYSIS OF NON-UNIFORM CORROSION-INDUCED CONCRETE CRACKING
Authors:   University of Science and Technology Beijing, China, Xi Xun , Yin Ziqing ,   University of Strathclyde, UK, Yang Shangtong ,   University of Strathclyde, UK
Published: August 2024

Corrosion-induced concrete cracking is the main deterioration form for reinforced concrete (RC), leading to premature failure of the RC structures. Existing reliability analysis on corrosion-affected RC structures has considered the corrosion of reinforcement as a uniform process, in favour of implementing analytical formulation of corrosion rust progression. However, it is evident that corrosion in RC structures is seldom uniform around the steel reinforcement. This paper develops a time-dependent reliability methodology, combining mesoscale heterogeneous fracture modelling and state-of-the-art machine learning algorithm, to assess the serviceability of the RC structures subjected to non-uniform development of corrosion. The effects of critical crack width, corrosion non-uniformity, and corrosion rate on the failure probability are investigated. The developed unified assessing methodology for corrosion of RC structures can serve as a useful tool for engineers, designers and asset managers for their decision-making with regard to repair and maintenance of corrosion-affect RC structures.

Published: August 2024

Concrete structures face durability challenges due to corrosion of embedded reinforcement steel, mainly induced by chloride ions from de-icing salts or coastal environments. Assessing and predicting chloride ion penetration into concrete involves several methods, with electrical methods being the most used nowadays. This study explores the theoretical aspects of concrete resistivity, focusing on concrete-fly ash mixtures. A multispecies model is proposed to simulate concrete resistivity, allowing the optimization of the intrinsic chloride diffusion coefficient. The model considers the Nernst-Planck equation and statistical correlations to determine the ionic concentrations of the pore solution. Experimental results indicate that resistivity decreases with increasing fly ash content, a fact that influences the bulk conductivity of the material. The study also introduces the Formation Factor for calculating chloride diffusion coefficients and highlights the importance of considering ionic depletion in fly ash samples. The proposed approach provides a rapid and cost-effective alternative for evaluating concrete’s transport properties. Experimental data from mixtures with different fly ash content corroborate the model's effectiveness and reveal the interaction among resistivity, ionic concentrations, and diffusion coefficients.

Published: August 2024

Supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) have been used over the years to partially replace cement for concrete applications due to their technical and, by extension, environmental benefits. In this work, the effect of curing temperature (25 °C, 35 °C and 45 °C) on the hydration characteristics and mechanical properties of cement paste incorporating low reactivity calcined clay was examined. CEM-I cement was partially replaced with 20% by weight of calcined clay. Isothermal calorimetry and compressive strength studies were conducted on the blended cement paste and mortar, respectively, after a curing period of 3, 7, 28 and 91 days. The results showed that hydration of the blended cement paste is greatly influenced by curing temperature. Hydration process improved when curing temperature was increased from 25 °C to 35 °C. This is due to higher temperature sensitivity of the pozzolanic reaction. Compressive strength was found to significantly increase, as curing temperature increased, outperforming the reference mortar at 35 °C.

This study explores the potential of rice stubble derived biochar as a sustainable alternative to cement in construction materials. The study focuses on research findings, with an emphasis on determining the effect of rice stubble biochar on crucial mortar properties. Three mortar mixes were formulated to determine the optimal biochar content and provide a basis for comparison. These mixes consisted of a control group, a mix with 5% biochar content, and another with 7.5% biochar content. The primary aim was to assess the impact of rice stubble biochar on the essential mortar characteristics, such as workability, water absorption, and strength properties. The findings indicate that incorporating biochar into mortar formulations leads to a decrease in workability. Mortars containing biochar exhibited higher water absorption compared to the control mix. The mortar mixes incorporating biochar exhibited superior compressive strength at both 7-day and 28-day mark compared to the control mix. The highest strength increases of 19% and 7% were recorded for RS7.5SP0.9 mix at 7-day and 28-day mark. However, no biochar-containing mix displayed higher flexural strength than the control mixes at both the 7-day and 28-day testing intervals. The study's outcomes emphasize the potential of biochar to improve certain mechanical properties of mortar, particularly its compressive strength over extended curing periods. These findings encourage further exploration into optimal biochar proportions and its compatibility with other construction materials, contributing to the advancement of environmentally conscious construction practices.

Najlepsze wyjście wiedzie zawsze na wskroś. Metaksy-antropologia Ewy Nowina-Sroczyńskiej
Authors: Latocha Sebastian
Published: August 2024

„Kryzys uniwersytetu” to słowo klucz współczesnej debaty o kondycji świata akademickiego. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest ocena relacji mistrz – uczeń (w kontekście organizacji życia akademickiego i rozwoju nauki) na przykładzie sylwetki Profesor Ewy Nowina-Sroczyńskiej. W trybie etnografii intymnej autor – Jej uczeń – analizuje wpływ swojej Mistrzyni na rozwój wyobraźni antropologicznej Jej uczniów i uczennic oraz oryginalnej wizji antropologii z Jej sygnaturą autorską. Tym samym artykuł stanowi przyczynek do wytyczenia koncepcyjnej granicy „antropologicznej szkoły Profesor Ewy Nowina-Sroczyńskiej”, którą autor tekstu nazywa metaksy-antropologią, inspirując się esejem Olgi Tokarczuk. W artykule pojawia się koncepcja przezroczystych ramion matki jako trawestacja tytułu książki Mistrzyni, nawiązanie do Jej „matczynego” stosunku do uczniów i uczennic (stanowczość i czułość) oraz metafora Jej udziału w kreacji oryginalnego podejścia do antropologii. Autor artykułu zakłada, że rola mistrza (jego „przezroczystych ramion”) jest potrzebna współczesnemu uniwersytetowi.
Wędrujące pojęcia. Liminalność, czyli pomiędzy antropologią kultury, performatyką a sztuką
Authors: Łarionow Dominika
Published: August 2024

Artykuł omawia pojęcie liminalności, które w rozumieniu autorki przez ostatnie sto lat dokonało migracji z nauki o ludowości, jaką pierwotnie była folklorystyka, do etnologii, antropologii kultury, performatyki, a także krytyki artystycznej. Ta wędrówka rozpoczęła się w 1909 r. od pierwszego wydania książki Arnolda van Gennepa Obrzędy przejścia. Do pojęcia osadzonego w badaniach kultury ludowej powrócił w 2. połowie XX w. Victor Turner, dokonując jego redefinicji wobec nowych zjawisk kulturowych. Termin tak uwspółcześniony został następnie zawłaszczony przez dynamicznie rozwijaną w nowym millenium performatykę. Proces ten opisał Jon McKenzie. Natomiast artyści i badacze kultury w ostatnim okresie posługiwali się terminem w różny sposób: od rozumienia go w kategoriach „progu” (Maria Stangret-Kantor), do słowa wytrychu w kontekście kryzysów, przemian w sztuce, które dostrzegła krytyka artystyczna w końcu XX w. (Stuart Morgan). Konkluzja artykułu sugeruje, że pojęcie liminalności nadal będzie migrować w kierunku redefinicji wobec nowych metodologii i zjawisk zachodzących w nauce i sztuce.
Uczestnictwo poprzez obrazowanie? Z historii wizualności w praktyce etnograficznej
Authors: Niedźwiedź Anna
Published: August 2024

W artykule omawiam wybrane przykłady z historii użycia obrazów w praktyce etnograficznej i w antropologicznym dyskursie. Skupiam się na nieoczywistej, wieloznacznej naturze obrazu, którego wytwarzanie można uznać za formę uczestnictwa w kulturze i konkretnej etnograficznej sytuacji. W sposób szczególny skupiam się na obrazowaniu i wykonywaniu fotografii w kontekście kolonialnym w Afryce, przywołując między innymi działalność Kazimierza Zagórskiego. Omawiam również przykłady twórczości wizualnej Edwarda S. Curtisa i Roberta Flaherty’ego w Ameryce Północnej. Historia wizualności etnograficznej dobrze oddaje zmieniające się paradygmaty antropologii. Dziś oglądane obrazy, będące wynikiem etnograficznych praktyk wizualnych doby kolonialnej, podkreślają kreacyjną oraz niestabilną naturę obrazu.
Dlaczego jest tak, jak jest?
Authors: Czaja Dariusz
Published: August 2024

Żywot Mateusza (1968) w reżyserii Witolda Leszczyńskiego to w polskiej kinematografii film niezwykły. Krytyka polska i światowa wskazywała na odmienność filmu od standardowych propozycji repertuarowych: akcentowano nadzwyczajne efekty pracy operatora, podnoszono talent i siłę kreacji Franciszka Pieczki, odtwórcy głównej roli. Jeden z recenzentów mówił nawet o arcydziele. Prezentowany tekst jest interpretacją filmu po ponad pięćdziesięciu latach, próbą sprawdzenia jego aktualności. Autor odsłania, rzadko podkreślany, wymiar misteryjny, sakralny filmu (w Eliadowskim rozumieniu). Wskazuje na osobność i niewspółczesność tytułowego bohatera. Analizuje kilka istotnych znaczeniowo filmowych kadrów, starając się wydobyć najistotniejsze cechy światoodczucia Mateusza. Ostatecznie, pokazuje, że jego ustami wypowiedziane zostaje fundamentalne filozoficzne pytanie, które każe zastanowić się nad rzekomą oczywistością naszej relacji z rzeczywistością.
Higiena jako „złoty środek” w odniesieniu do ciała w komentarzach przyrodniczych Waltera Burleya
Authors: Gensler Marek
Published: August 2024

Walter Burley, angielski filozof działający w pierwszej połowie XIV w., był płodnym autorem zainteresowanym logiką, filozofią przyrody oraz filozofią praktyczną (etyką i polityką). Jego komentarze do drobnych traktatów Arystotelesa z zakresu psychologii i fizjologii, znanych w średniowieczu pod wspólną nazwą Parva naturalia, zajmują się głównie zagadnieniami leżącymi na pograniczu tych dyscyplin i obejmują także problemy dotyczące związanych z nimi dyscyplin praktycznych: medycyny i etyki, które korzystają (także i dzisiaj) z teoretycznej refleksji przyrodniczej. Choć w komentarzach do Parva naturalia Burley raczej rzadko przedstawia tezy o charakterze normatywnym, można w nich odnaleźć i przeanalizować fragmenty zawierające rozmaite wskazówki dotyczące dobrego, to znaczy zdrowego trybu życia. Porady higieniczne Burleya wykorzystują Arystotelesowską zasadę złotego środka (aurea mediocritas), w czym podobne są do wskazówek moralnych. Niniejszy tekst jest analizą Burleyowskich wskazówek higienicznych dotyczących diety, ćwiczeń fizycznych (i wysiłku fizycznego), a także snu oraz próbą wykazania, w jaki sposób Burley korzysta w tym obszarze z zasady złotego środka.
Wąs, łapa, futro, ogon, czyli antropologizacja kota
Authors: Darmach Krystian
Published: August 2024

W proponowanym tekście dokonuję próby metaforyzacji kulturowego toposu kota, umieszczenia go w zróżnicowanych kontekstach interpretacyjnych, jakie oferuje współczesna antropologia. Kot to cyrkulacja znaczeń krążących między jednostką, indywiduum a społeczną zbiorowością, szerzej kulturowym zasobem wiedzy. Koty to topos, figura, metafora, a ich wizerunki i obecność jednocześnie wygładza i wyostrza wymiar postrzegania świata. Ruchem spiralnym, by nie powiedzieć kocim, staram się zakreślać przedstawioną w tytule tematykę, przeskakując z dyskursu naukowego w poetycki i odwrotnie: przechodzić z impresyjnego, opisowego idiomu w pojęciowy, uogólniający tryb wnioskowania, tryb nomotetyczny, biegnący na wskroś rozmaitych gatunków wypowiedzi wąską ścieżką semiotyczną prowadzącą od drobiazgu, etnograficznego szczegółu do rozważań abstrakcyjnych, ogólnych, może nawet myślowych eksperymentów.
Antropologia technologii jako antropologia przyszłości
Authors: Pawlak Ada Florentyna
Published: August 2024

Artykuł omawia rolę antropologii technologii jako dyscypliny badawczej zorientowanej na przyszłość. Analizuje wpływ technologii, zwłaszcza transhumanistycznych idei, na kondycję współczesnego człowieka oraz przyszłe wyobrażenia postbiologicznej istoty. Przywołane zostały teoretyczne ujęcia z zakresu cyberpsychologii, filozofii techniki i humaniki, które wspierać mogą antropologię w badaniach nad rozwojem technologicznym i jego konsekwencjami społecznymi, kulturowymi i etycznymi. Artykuł podkreśla potrzebę angażowania antropologii w szeroką debatę publiczną na temat przyszłości ludzkości, konfrontacji wyobrażeń z rzeczywistością naukową oraz współpracy z naukowcami, artystami i społeczeństwem w kontekście szybkich zmian technologicznych. Wyzwania związane z transhumanizmem, rozwojem sztucznej inteligencji i ekspansją technologii wymagają interdyscyplinarnej perspektywy badawczej oraz aktywnego uczestnictwa antropologów w kształtowaniu przyszłości społeczeństwa.

Published: August 2024

Prezentowane w niniejszej antologii teksty są przykładem zjawisk zachodzących w twórczości Żydów w Łodzi początku XX w. Stanowi ona swoiste odbicie przemian społecznych i kulturowych, trendów, fascynacji i lęków cechujących młode żydowskie pokolenie zamieszkujące nowoczesną metropolię przemysłową. Jej ramy czasowe wyznaczone są przełomami wieków dwóch religii: początek to niezwykle istotny dla Łodzi rok 1905, a zarazem przełom XIX i XX w. w rachubie gregoriańskiej. Zakończenie to 1 tiszri 5700 (14 września 1939 r.), początek nowego stulecia kalendarza hebrajskiego. Ten właśnie czas, pomiędzy Rewolucją 1905 r., a Zagładą, był okresem intensywnego rozwoju żydowskiej twórczości literackiej oraz życia społecznego. Jego wyrazem są setki publikacji książkowych, gazety codzienne oraz niezwykle liczne czasopisma literackie – efemerydy, których ukazało się jedynie kilka numerów w niskim nakładzie. Wybór dokonany z tak bogatego materiału źródłowego, na który składają się teksty należące do innego kręgu religijno-kulturalnego, publikowane ponadto w różnych językach, musiał opierać się na specyficznej kategoryzacji. Zazwyczaj stosowana klasyfikacja nie za bardzo się do tego nadawała, stwarzając zagrożenie zafałszowania obrazu wynikające z zastosowania pojęć oraz kategorii funkcjonujących co prawda w kulturze i historii żydowskiej, jednak niekoniecznie rozumianych tak samo. Przyjęte kryteria doboru i podziału tekstów są więc, poza jednym, oparte na czterech pojęciach żydowskich, co umożliwia lepsze zrozumienie fenomenu kulturowego łódzkiego społeczeństwa żydowskiego w tym okresie.

Published: August 2024

Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome is a rare cardiac condition arising from abnormal embryologic development of the annulus fibrosus in combination with the cardiac conduction system. The abnormality results in the development of accessory pathways and preexcitation changes which can provoke episodes of tachyarrhythmias. The most common presentation of WPW syndrome is supraventricular tachycardia. Beyond customary abortive therapy, chronic management strategies vary based upon timing and clinical severity of the initial disease presentation. Prompt diagnosis and rate control have a dramatic impact on the outcomes of morbidity and mortality. The purpose of this article is to present a case study of a preterm infant who manifested with WPW syndrome. Additionally, the article will explore the pathophysiology of WPW syndrome and the timing and presentation of common clinical manifestations of the disease, along with current diagnostic and treatment strategies to achieve optimal patient outcomes in the neonatal population.

Fast technological evolution and intensity of competition oblige companies to constantly seek for new ways to differentiate and offer added value to their customers. With the increasing popularity of social media, companies have started to consider this means as a new way to communicate with their customers and increase their brand reputation. One of the most notable phenomena of new media is how it has increased and created new forms of social interaction.In Kenya, despite the critical role played by the Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in the country, research has shown that 90% business startups fail in their third year and especially those owned by the youths The general purpose of the study was to establish the influence of social media marketing on performance of small and medium businesses in Nairobi’s industrial area. This study adopted a descriptive research design. Official records of AGPO as at December 2023 showed that there are 13,011 youth-owned businesses registered in the county of Nairobi with the Youth Access to Government Procurement Opportunities Program (YAGPO). The study used the 10-30% Mugenda Sampling principle to calculate the sample size of 130 SMEs. The first specific objective was to establish the extent Social Media Platforms Influence the Performance of Small and Medium Enterprises. A Pearson correlation analysis was done to establish the relationship between social media platform on performance of SMEs and the result established a significant positive relationship between social media platform used and the performance of SMEs (r=.811, p value =0.000). The second specific objective was to establish the extent bloggers influence the performance of Small and Medium Enterprises. A Pearson correlation analysis was done to establish the relationship between blogger influence on performance of SMEs and the result established a significant positive relationship between blogger influence and the performance of SMEs (r=.730, p value =0.000). The third objective was to establish the extent social media messaging factors influence the performance of Small and Medium Enterprises. A Pearson correlation analysis was done to establish the relationship between messaging factors on performance of SMEs and the result established a significant positive relationship between social media messaging factors used and the performance of SMEs (r=.359, p value =0.000).

SMP Negeri 3 Watukumpul is a junior high school located in Bongas Village, Watukumpul District, Pemalang Regency, Central Java. This school has implemented website-based technology as a medium for conveying information, but the website is no longer usable. The data obtained from the interview results indicate the need for an academic information system website as a medium for disseminating information and managing academic data digitally. Based on the existing problems, researchers will re-create a website-based Academic Information System for SMP Negeri 3 Watukumpul as a medium for delivering information and managing academic data. This research uses the Extreme Programming method, which is one of the development methodologies of Agile Software Development Methodologies. The Extreme Programming method has several stages: Planning, Design, Coding, and Testing. The system uses black box testing on student, admin, and teacher accounts. Blackbox testing on student accounts includes login, register, profile, news, wall magazine, course material, grades, contacts, and logout menus. Blackbox testing on teacher accounts consists of login menus, course materials, grades, and grade page details. Black box testing on admin accounts consists of login menus, school profiles, teachers and employees, news, wall magazines, extracurriculars, and lesson schedules. In testing this system, researchers use black box testing to test its functionality. The black box test from the student's account got a result of 100%, the black box test result from the teacher's account got 100%, and the black box test from the admin account was 98.57%. Thus, the average black box test result from the three users was 99.52%. With the existence of this school website, it is hoped that information dissemination activities and academic data management activities will become more effective and efficient.
Exploration of the Dempster-Shafer Theory for Diagnosing Hardware Damage: Comparative Study with the Certainty Factor Method
Authors: Koidah Koidah , Basir Azhar , Jamil Abdul
Published: August 2024

Comparative research is a research method that compares two or more research objects to expand understanding of them. In this context, we compare the Certainty Factor method and the Dempster-Shafer method in diagnosing computer hardware damage. The Certainty Factor method measures an expert's confidence in the solution that will be provided. On the other hand, the Dempster-Shafer method is a useful theory in situations where uncertainty dominates. This research focuses on comparing the effectiveness of the two methods in detecting computer hardware damage. An experimental approach is used to look for causal relationships between variables controlled by the researcher. The research results show that the Certainty Factor method has an average success rate of 14.51%, while the Dempster-Shafer method reaches 84.27% in terms of error difference. From these results, it can be concluded that the Certainty Factor method is more effective in diagnosing computer hardware damage.

Utilizing Design Thinking and User Experience Research for Effective Agricultural Labor Recruitment Web Application Design
Authors: Sabrina Cut Luna , Astiti Sarah
Published: August 2024

The agricultural sector faces a significant challenge in recruiting a skilled workforce, with both landowners and tenant farmers struggling to find new laborers. Factors such as inadequate rural infrastructure and facilities, coupled with limited technology adoption, have diminished the appeal of working in the agricultural sector. Consequently, agricultural productivity has declined due to a shortage of adequate labor. To address this issue, a prototype web application named “Partner Tani” was designed to facilitate labor recruitment for farmers. The application design process employed the Design Thinking methodology and the User Experience Questionnaire (UEQ) to thoroughly understand user requirements. The design outcomes encompass both user interface and administrator interface components, developed using Figma. The prototype application features functionalities such as login, account registration, profile management, job posting and search, and complaint reporting. Evaluation using the UEQ revealed that the prototype application achieved exceptional scores across all user experience dimensions: Attractiveness (average score: 2,11), Perspicuity (average score: 1,42), Efficiency (average score: 2,33), Dependability (average score: 1,50), Stimulation (average score: 1,75), and Novelty (average score: 1,67). Average scores for Attractiveness, Efficiency, Stimulation, and Novelty fell within the “Excellent” range, while Perspicuity and Dependability scores were above average. These findings indicate that the “Partner Tani” application prototype holds promise in delivering a satisfying and efficient user experience for agricultural labor recruitment.

Published: August 2024

Background- Fertilizers are essential to enhancing food security by enhancing crop growth. The selection of chemical fertilizers over organic fertilizers brings environmental consequences. The government is trying to achieve food security and promote organic fertilizers over chemical fertilizers by implementing various programs. Aim- The study is carried out to understand the effect of government policies on farmers' chemical fertilizer consumption patterns. Design- The data of fifteen years of chemical fertilizer consumption was divided into three sub-groups. Statistical analysis was done to understand the trend of chemical fertilizer consumption of the farmers. Results- The analysis of data clearly shows the steadily increasing pattern of chemical fertilizer consumption. Conclusions- The study clearly shows there is no effect of sustainable agriculture policies framed by the government on the consumption of chemical fertilizers by farmers. Across the study period, farmers were inclined to use chemical fertilizers, related to a lack of awareness of the principles of appropriate fertilizer management that can limit environmental damage.

Published: August 2024

Imbalanced classes can cause machine learning models to classify positive class instances poorly, and the models require hyperparameter sets to optimal values. This study aims to develop random forest (RF) and support vector machine (SVM) models that use the optimal hyperparameters obtained through 5-fold cross-validation data. Both models were trained using optimal hyperparameter pairs that fit two data scenarios, the original and oversampling training sets, to produce the benchmark and best models. The model's performance was evaluated using six metrics, including training and testing data. The acquired optimal RF hyperparameter pair was (500, 10) for the minimum number of instances and tree depth level. In contrast, the acquired optimal SVM hyperparameter pair was (0.001, 500) for the gamma and constant values. The benchmark model performed approximately 98% on Accuracy, Precision, Recall, and F1 score metrics but failed to deliver any performance on Mathew's Correlation Coefficient (MC) and Area under Curve (AUC) metrics. The best RF and SVM perform less than both benchmark models in four famous metrics. Both best models have performance improvements of approximately 6% and 11% for the MCC and AUC metrics, respectively. The best RF performance was slightly better than the best SVM performance.
Milestone Description of Indonesian Development Tasks
Authors: Suminar Dewi Retno , Desiningrum Dinnie Ratri
Published: August 2024

Developmental tasks are formed from an analysis of the culture and social demands in which the individual lives and interacts. Developmental psychology defines Milestones as substantial progress in a developmental task. When a person is able to complete developmental tasks at his stage, that person will be happy and consider his development according to his stage. So far, the current developmental tasks are different from the situation and social demands in Indonesia. Thus, the overview of development tasks has yet to be depicted in the psychological development of Indonesians. The aim of the study was to formulate developmental tasks according to the social environment. This research method was carried out through a survey that was distributed online in all regions of Indonesia. The development task screening questionnaire was prepared according to Havighurst's developmental tasks, including a description of open input at each stage. Respondents involved in the study were 345 participants, with a ratio of 78 men and 287 women. The age range of the respondents was 17 years to 63 years. Respondents came from 19 provinces, which means 50 percent of the total number of new provinces in Indonesia. Based on the number of major islands in Indonesia, the respondents represented 4 out of 5 islands or 80%. Hence, the research results can be used to describe Indonesian people. The results show that each stage of development has task contradictions, loss of developmental tasks, addition of developmental tasks and mutual substitution at the previous and subsequent stages. The details at each stage are possible to be elaborated in further studies.
