Analisis Model Kecepatan Gelombang-P pada Coal-Seam Gas Studi Kasus Cekungan Sumatera Selatan, Indonesia
Authors: Hutami Harnanti Yogaputri , Fitriyani Fitriyani , Priniarti Tiara Larasati , Handoyo Handoyo
Published: July 2020

The rock physics model is one effective yet challenging way to investigate the coal-seam gas potential in Indonesia. However, because of the complex conditions of the Coal-Seam Gas Reservoirs, it is difficult to establish models. Despite the scarce modeling, this study aims to estimate the relation of gas-saturated within pores of coal seam to the elastic properties of rock, which is P-wave velocity. First, the coal seam minerals are applied to quantify matrix moduli using the Voigt-Reuss-Hill Average method. Pride’s simple equation is used to estimate the elastic properties of the coal seam at dry condition (zero gas saturation). Finally, Biot-Gassmann’s theory is applied to determine the elastic properties of coal seam with fully gas saturated. As the result, the proposed model showed that there is a significant negative correlation between gas content with both density and P-wave velocity of the coal seam. Finally, this P-wave velocity model of gas-saturated coal seams should be properly useful as the quick look for identifying coal seam gas potentials.

Parangtritis has a rock fall hazard area with a medium to high level of risk. In Parangtritis, there was a large scale paleo-rockslide that involved more than 800 million m3 of rock mass with an area of 1500 m x 2700 m. This is a significant factor in changing the landscape. This research uses 9 Audio-MagnetoTelluric (AMT) primary data points. Using the distance between points 750 m within a 2 km x 2 km study area. The location focused on the western side of the paleo-landslide area in Parangtritis Village. Processing AMT data using the help of MT-INV and RockWorks software. The result of one-dimensional inversion consists of 3 layers. Indicates a low resistivity value (0-10 Ωm) interpreted as beach deposition and sand dune, medium resistivity (50 - 160 Ωm) for Wonosari limestone and high resistivity ( 170 Ωm) for Nglanggran andesite breccias. The average thickness of the first layer is 44 m and the second layer reaches 175 m. Based on the resistivity structure of the AMT data, the interpretation of the boundary contact between the Wonosari limestone and the Nglanggran andesite breccia can act as a slip field in a depth of about 250 m This field is a passive fault field controlled by the Girijati fault in the east of the study area.

REAKTUALISASI NILAI-NILAI KEBANGSAAN DALAM MASYARAKAT PLURALIS DI KOTA MEDAN
Authors: Sinaga Rosmaida
Published: July 2020

Kota Medan merupakan salah satu wilayah Indonesia yang didiami berbagai suku, agama, ras dan antargolongan. Keberagaman suku, agama, ras, budaya, dan bahasa di Kota Medan merupakan indikator masyarakat pluralis. Sebagai masyarakat yang pluralis, mempunyai dua sisi yang saling bertolak belakang. Di satu sisi, keragaman tersebut berdampak positif, dan di sisi lain berdampak negative. Keragaman masyarakat Kota Medan dapat berdampak positif, apabila mampu dikelola menjadi modal sosial untuk membangun persepsi bersama dan visi bangsa tanpa mengabaikan keragaman budaya. Di sisi lain keragaman itu juga berdampak negatif karena masyarakat pluralis sangat rawan terhadap munculnya disintegrasi bangsa. Ancaman disintegrasi bangsa dapat dicegah dengan mengaktualkan (menghidupkan) kembali nilai-nilai kebangsaan yang bersumber dari nilai-nilai luhur bangsa. Adapun nilai-nilai luhur bangsa yang mampu menjadi perekat dan pengikat persatuan adalah Pancasila, UUD 45, NKRI dan Bhinneka Tunggal Ika.Kata kunci: masyarakat pluralis, nilai-nilai kebangsaan, Kota Medan

Published: July 2020

The 2007-2009 Global Financial Crisis showed that despite reported as ‘healthy’ financial institution prior to crisis had indeed suffered many problems including liquidity during the crisis. Thus, there is confusion on the healthy financial institutions, leading to loss of confidence on the overall stability of the banking system. Thus, there is an urgent need to review the current measures of financial as well as banking stability. This paper aims to look at the definition of ‘stability’ used in the academic researches and by different regulatory bodies, like International Monetary Fund, Basel Committee for Banking Supervision (BCBS) and central banks in selected countries with dual banking systems. It is then, critically review indicators used as measures of financial as well as banking stability. This review is hope to identify areas of strengths as well as weaknesses of the current measures of stability and serves as foundation for further research in future.

Declared War and American Victory: A Search for Effective Commitment
Authors: Mendenhall Slade
Published: July 2020

This Article argues that the act of formally declaring war entails a measure of explicit commitment on the part of American political actors that raises the cost of failure and motivates politicians to see engagements through to a decisive end, fulfilling the role of a contract or institutional commitment device. It argues that undeclared conflicts, lacking such a device, are more likely to end on less decisive and less favorable terms to the United States. On this basis, it explains the emergence of a decades-long trend of protracted, unsuccessful, and indecisive military engagements by the United States as having emerged from the erosion of a constitutionally established separation of powers with respect to the initiation and administration of foreign military conflicts. In defense of this theory, it uses case studies to assess the relevance of its predictions and to weigh potential objections involving selection bias and imperfect information.
Interscalene block in an anesthetized adult with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy undergoing clavicle fracture reduction

Whether regional anesthesia procedures should be performed in heavily sedated/anesthetized adults remains controversial. One of the purported advantages of performing regional nerve blocks in conversant patients is early warning against major nerve injury and, arguably, early detection of local anesthetic systemic toxicity. A 60-year-old man with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) underwent a clavicle fracture repair under general anesthesia. Intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography revealed dynamic left ventricular outflow track obstruction and systolic anterior motion of the posterior mitral valve leaflet. In part based on such echo findings, he received an ultrasound-guided interscalene plus a superficial cervical plexus block for postoperative analgesia prior to emergence from general anesthesia. Given the lack of robust data on the safety of ultrasound-guided regional techniques in heavily sedated/anesthetized adults, we use the example of echographic evidence of significant HOCM to argue for a pragmatic and individualized approach when faced with unusual situations in which the pros of such an approach may outweigh the cons – in this case for performing an interscalene block on an anesthetized adult.

The aim of this research work is to explore and compare electrochemical activity of the cupric sulfide (CuS) and cuprous sulfide (Cu2S) nanoparticles. For this purpose, CuS and Cu2S were synthesized by a facile chemical solution method. The morphology, structure, and surface area of the synthesized CuS and Cu2S nanoparticles were characterized by transmission electron microscope, X-ray diffraction, and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller analysis, respectively. The electrochemical activities of the prepared materials were studied by performing cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy analysis in 1 M LiClO4 using a three-electrode system. It was observed that specific capacitance of the CuS (435 Fg−1) is higher than that of Cu2S (273 Fg−1) at the same current density (5 Ag−1). Furthermore, CuS retained 86% while Cu2S retained 75% of their initial capacitance after 6,000 charge–discharge cycles. Therefore, CuS owing to its higher electrochemical activity and cyclic stability is a superior electrode material than Cu2S for supercapacitor applications.
Narrative medicine in medical diagnosis
Authors: Pino Andrade Raúl
Published: July 2020

Modernity has brought with it a series of scientific advances that, in the medical field, have
improved not only the diagnosis and treatment of diseases, but also the quality of life of
patients. This is undeniable. It is enough to carry out an exercise of imagination and place our
life in two different historical settings: first the Renaissance, and second the XXI century or
contemporary era. Leaving cultural or historical affinities asi de, to the question: In which of
these historical periods would you like to live? The most prudent answer is very likely: now,
in this century. The advances of medicine can be traced historically, we cannot think about it
without thinking in Vesalius, or Paré, and many others; however, it is true that the history of
medicine accelerated markedly in the 20th century
Linguagem e sociedade: aproximações e distanciamentos em tempos de pandemia
Authors: Oliveira Arthur Marques de , Colombo Freisleben Larissa
Published: July 2020

A conferência aborda as mudanças sociais decorrente da pandemia, analisando a forma como alguns termos vêm sendo utilizados, como distanciamento social, e o significado desses usos, que apontam para um comportamento individualista frente à pandemia e um retorno à ideia de bom selvagem de Rousseau, em que a sociedade é identificada como um problema. Rajagopalan sugere a adoção novos termos, como a substituição de distanciamento social por conscientização. O linguista chama atenção para o retorno da magia da “palavra soprada” durante a pandemia, em que a voz assume uma importância antes esquecida. Além disso, questionando certas visões comuns na linguística, defende um estudo da linguagem que considere a sociedade como componente essencial e constitutivo de seu objeto, mas que deixe espaço para a ação do sujeito agente, resguardando a possibilidade de decisões éticas.
Might language be telepathy?
Authors: Gomes Juliana Novo , Cataldo Lopes Julia
Published: July 2020

Seeking to decipher the process of understanding and producing language, Fedorenko reports three discoveries made by her laboratory during the last decade, achieved through behavioral, computational and brain imaging methodologies. First, Fedorenko proposes that regions that support the language are selective only to it. She then argues that regions that support syntactic processing are the same ones that support semantic processing. Finally, Fedorenko suggests that the primary driver for activation in the language region is semantic composition and not syntax, as the literature had been indicating: if a syntactically messed up input provides sufficient evidence for the semantic composition, the language network maximum response is achieved. Thus, syntactic properties could be constrained by communicative pressures. She concludes that, interpreted together, these results point to a strong integration between lexicon and syntax, approaching theoretical models such as construction and usage-based grammars.
Combatendo fake news: o papel da literacia no pensamento crítico
Authors: Grilli Marina
Published: July 2020

A conferência define os conceitos de literacia e pensamento crítico, demonstrando o impacto da primeira sobre o segundo e sobre outras capacidades cognitivas, como a memória e a compreensão da linguagem. A pesquisa relatada, em andamento, trabalha com a hipótese de que a literacia contribui para elevar a qualidade e a profundidade do pensamento crítico, recurso de autodefesa intelectual em relação às fake news e a outras manobras de desvirtuação dos fatos ou de propaganda mentirosa. São apresentados os resultados de estudos realizados anteriormente por outros pesquisadores e os resultados preliminares de um projeto experimental que a conferencista integra, no qual diversos grupos de adultos subletrados realizam testes de literacia, literacia de mídia, pensamento crítico, habilidade de leitura de emoções e identificação com valores fascistas. Conclui-se que, quanto maior o nível de literacia, maior a capacidade de pensamento crítico.

Objetivo: Analisar a percepção das mulheres sobre sexualidade no período da menopausa. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo a campo do tipo exploratório, descritivo, com abordagem qualiquantitativo. A pesquisa foi realizada em um Centro de Referência do Idoso (CRI), serviço público, localizado no município de Juazeiro do Norte - CE. Participaram da pesquisa mulheres idosas que estejam sendo acompanhada regularmente pelo CRI e com idade igual ou acima de 60 anos. Para a coleta de dados utilizou-se uma entrevista semiestruturada auto elaborada sobre o tema, realizada no período de 2019.2, contemplando 18 amostras, submetido à técnica de análise de conteúdo de Bardin. Resultados: Com os dados obtidos avaliamos que muitas idosas não reconhecem a menopausa como um processo fisiológico, sendo perceptível que o processo de alterações da menopausa, envelhecimento e a falta de informações tiveram impacto negativo e significante na diminuição da sexualidade na idosa. Conclusão: Dessa forma a sexualidade na menopausa é um assunto importante e íntimo, por isso poucas mulheres estão preparadas para vivenciá-la, entretanto a enfermagem tem diversas possibilidades de realizar ações com este público, objetivando maior visibilidade e promoção de qualidade de vida.

Bronchial brushing cytology is comparable to bronchial biopsy for epidermal growth factor receptor mutation test in non-small cell lung cancer
Authors: Koo Joo-Yeon , Kim Nah-Ihm , Lee Taebum , Choi Yoo-Duk
Published: July 2020

Objectives:

Bronchial brushing (BB) is often used to obtain supplementary samples for diagnosing lung cancer. We examined the possibility of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) testing on BB samples and compared them with bronchial biopsy samples.

Material and Methods:

We used 150 BB samples with non-small cell carcinoma submitted to our department within 2 years. Biopsy samples were concurrently submitted for histologic diagnosis. We used the peptide nucleic acid clamping method for EFGR mutation test. Histologic diagnosis identified 137 cases of adenocarcinomas and 13 cases of non-small cell lung carcinoma, not otherwise specified. Each sample was assessed for adequacy and DNA content for EGFR mutation test.

Results:

Among BB samples, 28 had exon 19 deletion, 21 had mutations in exon 21, 99 were wild type, and analysis of two failed. The EGFR mutation rate in BB samples was 33.1% (49/148). Among bronchial biopsy samples, 26 had exon 19 deletion, 20 had mutations in exon 21, 92 were wild type, and analysis of 12 failed. The EGFR mutation rate using biopsy sample was 33.8% (46/136). The mutation detection results were nearly identical in both groups of samples (131/138, 94.9%). However, in two cases, an exon 21 mZutation was detected in biopsy samples but not in BB samples. In five cases, exon 19 deletion (two cases) and exon 21 mutation (three cases) were detected in BB but not in biopsy samples. The median DNA content was 58.83 ng for BB samples and 48.47 ng for biopsy samples. The failure rate for BB samples was lower than for biopsy samples. Overall, the BB samples were comparable to bronchial biopsy samples in terms of DNA quantity and mutation detection results.

Authors: Dolgaya A. A.
Published: July 2020

The model of motivating delegation has been proposed and its justification by the results of recent studies in educational psychology, neurobiology and pedagogy has been presented. The actualization of the employee’s personal effectiveness lies in his internal, inherent and characteristic motivational model only for him. To build the model, the theory of self-motivation and the phenomenon of self-determination, recent discoveries in neurobiology have been used, a sequence of communication interactions between the director and the employee, which makes it possible to include the motivation of aspiration in the employee’s own motivational model, has been formulated. The main elements of the model are unconscious and conscious desires, and regulatory motives of both the leader and subordinate. Their hierarchy and interaction provide effective employee`s self-motivation in terms of setting the task, developing criteria for assessing the performance of the task. Motivating delegation allows you guaranteed to activate both the emotional part of the performer’s brain, which provides energy for the execution of the task, and the prefrontal complex, which is responsible for the thoughtfulness, creativity and consistency of the result and the process of the performance of the task.

Jakub VI (I) Stuart – Łowca czarownic – Część II

Published: July 2020

Król Jakub VI (I) Stuart jest znany jako jeden z najważniejszych i najbardziej wyrafinowanych angielskich obrońców monarchii absolutnej, a także zajadły wróg purytanów. Jednakże nieliczni wiedzą, że Jakub był również sławnym łowcą czarownic i autorem Daemonologie – rozprawy filozoficznej dotyczącej nekromancji, czarostwa i czarnej magii. Autorzy dowodzą, że Daemonologie była politycznym i teologicznym narzędziem edukacji poddanych w zakresie historii, praktyk i skutków uprawiania czarostwa oraz powodów jego zwalczania w chrześcijańskim społeczeństwie. Król Jakub nie zapoczątkował polowań na czarownice w Szkocji, lecz jego pisarstwo wpłynęło na prawną stronę procesów czarownic poprzez określenie definicji czarostwa oraz sposobów identyfikacji wiedźmy. Pozycja króla sprawiła bowiem, że jego koncepcje stały się wpływowe i szeroko akceptowane. Zgodnie z przekonaniem autorów osobiste doświadczenia Jakuba w tym względzie wpłynęły również na rozwój jego koncepcji boskiego prawa królów.
