Urban Policy Response to Radical Innovation in Sustainable Energy: The Case of University Spin-Offs and Local Triple Helix Interaction
Authors: van Geenhuizen Marina , Nejabat Razieh
Published: January 2023

This paper pictures several risk-taking strategies of young high-tech firms in bringing energy inventions to market and ways urban policy (municipalities) may provide supporting facilities and help accelerate the energy transition. Derived from a longitudinal study of 100 firms in northwest Europe, two findings contribute to practice. Firstly, a share of almost 40 percent of university spin-off firms fails in the market introduction; if the market introduction is reached, 30 percent is relatively late. This development calls for attention to acceleration and risk-taking concerns. However, risk-taking firm strategies, like targeting radical inventions and new markets, tend to hamper early market introduction. Secondly, urban policy supports filling risk-related needs, particularly in large metropolitan networks. Cities (municipalities) may act as launching customers and provide sites and organizations for practical experimentation (e.g., in living labs) alongside steering on cross-faculty application platforms at the university that also connect with city functions. Cities’ initiatives, however, tend to be fragmented and miss priority. Partnering in Triple Helix networks with local universities and businesses may improve the situation, for example, by priority setting, better alignment, and integration. The urban policy also has a role in improving broader conditions, particularly the attraction of related R&D firms to the city/region and the attraction and retention of top-class researchers.
Characteristics of the Brain in ASD and Effective Ways of Teaching
Authors: Koifman Julia
Published: January 2023

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a sort of neurodiversity that is characterized by repetitive behavior, limited interests, struggling in social interaction, expressing feelings, and many more. It is an innate disorder and combines several previously used definitions of mental syndromes and diseases into one diagnostic unit. Its signs can be noticed in infancy or early childhood, at two years old, or a little later. For instance, the child practices non-verbal communication speaks very little, and repeatedly makes the same movement with his fingers, arms, or legs. Such a person may have intact intelligence and the ability to live in society, but ASD is often associated with cognitive impairments of varying severity. A single cause of the appearance of ASD has not yet been found. Scientists identify only factors that can affect the likelihood of its occurrence, for instance, mutations, problems with pregnancy, or difficult ecological situations.

Authors: GUPTA NEHA , BHAGYAWANT SAMEER SURESH
Published: January 2023

Objective: Chickpea is an annual legume known for its high seed protein thus beneficial for one’s health and well-being. Of the two chickpea seed types, Kabuli seeds have reasonably high-protein and -carbohydrate contents, as a result, set up more commercial demand.

Methods: Inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers are useful in the areas of genetic diversity. The present study attempted ISSR-PCR experimentation in testing DNA variation predominantly in Kabuli chickpea seed accessions employing 10 different set of ISSR primers.

Results: In vitro amplification by PCR revealed an average number of bands per primer per accession which accounted to 8.7. Maximum number of bands (25) scored by the primer UBC-836 while least number of bands (12) were displayed by UBC-811.

Conclusion: The accession JGK-1 and IPCK-12-288 presented divergent DNA polymorphic among all chickpea accessions tested and therefore found distinct. The genetic divergence at DNA level existed between these chickpea accessions can be used proficiently for future plant breeding program.

Published: January 2023

In making an Akta Autentik (Authentic Official) made by a Notary and a Land Official Making Officer or what is called a PPAT which is the authority, it consists of several parts and one of the things that must be in the Authentic Official section is a witness, which is defined as an identifier witness and an instrumenter witness. Instrumenter witness is a mandatory thing with a minimum number of two people who must have the status as employees in the related PPAT Notary Office, their important existence makes many considerations that must be taken if they have to replace one or both of them, including when the PPAT Notary cooperates with freelancers who require it become an instrumenter witness, but often the PPAT Notary does not know the legal actions and the actual identity in the draft official, he receives from the freelancer which creates a gap to create a dispute, besides that, another loss received by the Notary and PPAT is that his credibility is starting to be doubted. This study aims to find out what and what effect it has on the consistency of instrumenter witnesses in an Authentic Official, this study uses a normative juridical research method by comparing das sein and das sollen about instrumenter witnesses in an Authentic Official, in which the results of research on the consistency of complementary witnesses can lead to a a dispute because the PPAT Notary in making or signing the official does not meet directly with the interested parties which can injure the making and meaning of the Authentic Official definition and is at high risk for the Notary and the PPAT itself. Therefore, with this writing, it is expected that Notaries and PPATs who have been or are new and will be actively serving to be able to be careful in carrying out their duties and positions, especially in the inclusion of witnesses in the official, including to cooperate with freelancers.
EMERGENCY RELIEF MATERIALS ADMINISTRATION AND THE WELFARE OF INTERNALY DISPLACED PERSONS IN MAIDUGURI, BORNO STATE
Authors: YUSUF MUHAMMAD SANI , BARKA HADIZA MUHAMMAD , UMARU DEBORAH
Published: January 2023

The study focuses on interrogating emergency relief materials administration and the welfare of internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Maiduguri. Internal displacement has rendered over 2 million people in Nigeria homeless, with Maiduguri hosting over 1.6 million as at May, 2021. These IDPs are camped by governments across the nation, while some of them went to stay with friends or relatives who reside in neighboring local government areas or states. The study adopts Joseph’s prebendalism theory which explains a situation in which public officials use their position of trust to amass wealth through criminal means. Both primary and secondary sources of data collection were used. The primary source employed the use of Focus Group Discussion from among the IDPs in selected camps as well as IDPs outside camps. Key Informants Interviews with government officials at NEMA and SEMA, etc., was used; while online newspapers, radio reports, etc., served as secondary sources. The findings of the study show that some officials of the national and state emergency management agencies divert emergency relief materials meant for IDPs for their personal gains. It also shows that this diversion of relief materials affects the general welfare of the IDPs. The study recommends among other things that an agency should be created to coordinate and monitor the activities of the national and state emergency management agencies and all other agencies and NGOs with regard to the collection and distribution of relief materials and rehabilitation of IDPs.

Published: January 2023

In Mali, with strong population growth, forest resources are under multiple pressures, the most important of which are agricultural clearing, land speculation and the consumption of wood and/or charcoal as energy fuel. Studies have shown that this is a major problem. According to the FAO (2020, p 21), its production from 2010 to 2018 increased from 137,907 to 379,124 tons against 79,221 Qm to 334,454 Qm between 2008-2017 (MEADD, 2018, pp 41 and 73). The objective aims to demonstrate the challenges of charcoal consumption as fuel in the Baco-Djicoroni district of the Bamako district in order to raise the awareness of decision-makers. The sampling involved 190 people (160 randomly selected households, 24 traders/wholesalers and 6 technical service agents). The methodology was based on the exploitation of documents, the field survey and the analysis and processing of data using Word, Excel and SPSS software. The analysis of the results records 12 charcoal sales depot sites in Baco-Djicoroni with a sales capacity of 7750 bags per week whose households of 10 to 14 people are the biggest consumers, us 89 bags per month. In a context of climate change and forest preservation, the development of a strategy is necessary and alternatives to charcoal remains the promotion of renewable and/or alternative energies.

The intervention was associated with a lower odds of ICU admission (odds ratio: 0.422; p = 0.007) and ICU related costs (odds ratio: -662.4; p = 0.083).
Conclusion:
Continuous vital sign monitoring may have contributed to fewer ICU admissions and lower ICU costs in postsurgical patients.
El diseño utilitario
Authors: Sentinelli Natalia , Escola Patricia Susana
Published: January 2023

Given the limitations of the expediency/conservation dichotomy for understanding the lithic assemblages from the first millennium in Antofagasta de la Sierra (Catamarca, Argentina), the utilitarian design proposal constitutes progress toward understanding the specific technology of agropastoral societies. The term raised the issue that the lack of conservation-related elements poses for describing the material product of an expeditious strategy. The proposal subsequently supported efforts to estimate the work that the formative societies of Northwestern Argentina invested in lithic production. This research revisits its contributions, applying them to the knapped stone assemblage of Structure 4 (E4) at the Las Escondidas site (Quebrada de Miriguaca, Antofagasta de la Sierra) – a site occupied at the beginning of the first millennium, that shows different activities, including artisan production. Reconstructing some aspects of the technological behavior involved in the production, use and disposal of the instrument set at E4 gave rise to several reflections on the scope and applicability of the utilitarian design concept in relation to work investment.

Jack London and George P. Brett (Macmillan): economics and ethics of “one of the greatest publisher-writer duos”
Authors: Kesharpu Ekaterina V.
Published: January 2023

The research is devoted to the analysis of ethical and economic aspects of the relationship between Jack London and his major publisher, Macmillan President George P. Brett. Until recently, these relations, which are the brightest example of the synthesis of friendship and mutual benefit, were not the subject of a separate study. The influence of publishers, editors and the literary market as a whole on the writer’s creativity was also underestimated. The purpose of this study is to confirm the significant role of Brett in London’s writing career, who became not only a business partner for the writer, but also a friend and mentor. The relationship between the writer and the publisher is traced in a historical perspective, showing their changes as the writer’s career develops from a literary aspirant to a popular author, conflicts and contradictions, including those that resulted in London’s brief apostasy from Macmillan and a contract with Century. It is shown that many of London’s works, radical or different from the demands of the mass reader, such as The People of the Abyss, The Kempton - Wace Letters, The Iron Heel, The Road, Martin Eden, saw the light solely due to Brett’s liberalism. The firm intention of the writer to publish a significant number of works unclaimed in the literary market debunks the myth of Jack London as a commercial writer. On the other hand, it was precisely the generous and steady advances from Macmillan that gave London freedom for literary experiments, without which he would never have been able to go beyond the short story genre, as well as the “discourse of bargaining” was an integral part of this amazing friendship between writer and publisher.
Can Xue: the poetics of anti-aesthetics
Authors: Tian Fang
Published: January 2023

Can Xue is a representative of Chinese women's literature of the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Her works are one of the most interesting literary phenomena. The author discusses the poetics of the “anti-aesthetics” in Can Xue’s works, based on the violation of classical aesthetic norms. To achieve a new aesthetic impact, Can Xue employs such artistic means as fantasy, metaphor, symbol, synesthesia in a new way. Possessing a rich and unbridled imagination, the writer strives to depict something that exists “in the zone of non-existence.” Besides, Can Xue creates anti-aesthetic, ugly, incomprehensible, and metaphorical images, invents illogical dialogues, refers to the phenomena of the interweaving of dreams and reality, peeping, etc. It is concluded that Can Xue breaks the frame of traditional aesthetic, seeks ugly, irrational, and unacceptable to popular standards of beauty. But despite all the ugliness, she draws attention to the hidden depths of human consciousness and soul, shows another truth of life. An analysis of the poetics of Can Xue allows a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of the writings of Chinese authors of the late 20th and early 21st centuries.

Published: January 2023

Based on qualitative and quantitative analysis of the audio-visual material of two Georgian media outlets, the empirical base of research on the formation of political discourses and their influence on the socio-political life of the country is presented. Media content during the pre-election period September - October 2020: about 2337 publications of audio-visual character. The analysis of television content is of interest for understanding the information and political environment in a society where media is directly linked to various interest groups. There is a high concentration of the political factor in the media that determines its discourse. Taking into account the increasing political polarization in Georgia, the mass media also take an appropriate stance towards political actors and form discourse that serves the political agenda of a certain interest group. The public receives ideologically processed information and, despite the factor of democratization of the methods of political struggle, finds itself in a situation where political forces use information and disinformation as a method of combating opponents. The presented analysis is one of the first results of the inter-university project “Mass Media in Political Processes of Georgia”, it is crucial for understanding the trends of Georgian mass media related to both internal and external factors. The results of the research show the patterns inherent in different TV channels in the context of media and political environment in Georgia.
Analysis of Russian and global game studies: ludology vs. narratology
Authors: Pugachev Andrei A.
Published: January 2023

The author reviews the past-to-present academic literature on game studies from the perspective of ludology and narratology. The academic study of video games has grown substantially since 2001 - the year Game Studies started publishing its first articles. Yet both ludology and narratology remain a particularly new field, especially in the Russian academic field, and many of its discussed themes have yet to attain widespread recognition. The academic articles published between 2017 and 2022 were reviewed to provide understanding of the current state of the research on ludology and narratology in various research areas. The corpus was gathered by searching publications in international database Scopus. Each article was categorized according to the type of database, period of time, the country of publication, the field of study and the frequency of citations. The applied method of quantitative research allows tracking the development of research within five years in the field of game studies. Several proposals for further research in this field were put forward. The main hypothesis of this work is that one type of methodology is more applicable than the other, considering the background. The author concludes that one type of methodology can prevail in research - depending on the region of the published article.
Research on Presumption of Fault in Medical Litigation in China
Authors:   Journal of Law research, Zhang Yi
Published: January 2023

The legal presumption of medical fault in Chinese law has been controversial since its promulgation. The focus of academic debate focuses on whether the behavior that violates the legal norms and diagnostic and therapeutic norms is the standard of fault identification or the precondition of fault presumption. To solve the dispute, we must first clarify the applicable premise of the legal presumption of medical fault. According to the logic of law application, medical fault is not a fact that can be directly proved by evidence, but a legal evaluation. The existence of medical fault elements should be independently evaluated by the judge. However, the problem in China's medical litigation is that the application of the legal presumption of medical fault deviates from the applicable logic that should be followed. The problem at the legislative level is that medical fault should not be regulated by legal presumption, and the legal presumption and fault presumption were confused at the beginning of legislation.
Based on this, in China's medical litigation, it is necessary to distinguish between the medical fault of medical institutions and the fault that hinders the investigation of facts. If the medical institution forges medical records and refuses to provide medical records, which makes it difficult for the court to find out whether the medical institution's diagnosis and treatment activities, diagnosis and treatment behaviors cause damage and the size of the damage, then the medical institution should be directly made to bear the adverse consequences of proving the obstruction, that is, bear the responsibility commensurate with the degree of fault that hinders the investigation of the facts. As for the medical fault, it should be judged by the judge according to the diagnosis and treatment activities of the medical institution. The behavior of medical institutions in violation of diagnosis and treatment norms and legal norms is the basis and factor for judges to comprehensively judge whether there is medical fault. The fact based on which to evaluate whether the fault exists or not is the object of the parties' proof.
Decision by Family against Medical Care to Prolonging Patient’ Life
Authors:   Journal of Law research, Kim Cheon-Soo
Published: January 2023

In this paper, the legal system is discussed in which a patient's family decides to withhold or discontinue life-sustaining treatment on behalf of the patient. After many decades of discussion in Korea, the Korean Act on Hospice and Palliative Care and Decisions on Life-sustaining Treatment for Patients at the End of Life was enacted in order that patients might decide whether to receive life-sustaining treatment or withhold or discontinue it. However, the Act has many errors or flaws related to the Korean Civil Code. This Act permits the decision by the family decision to withhold or discontinue life-sustaining treatment for the patient that lead to the earlier arrival of his or her death. This permission does not suit the purpose of introducing a system that allows the life-sustaining treatment to be withheld or discontinued by the patient’s intent. Examples of issues that reveal these points are as follows. First of all, the error can be pointed out that the decision to withhold or discontinue life-sustaining treatment was recognized as an expression of intention or legal act, not a quasi-legal act. Accordingly, minors are improperly specialized in the decision to withhold or discontinue life-sustaining treatment. In addition, many problems are identified in relation to the legal representative who has the parental authority to decide on withholding or discontinuing life-sustaining treatment for minors. The above mentioned Act has flaws in legislation in the case of sole parental authority, the situation of conflict of interests, the case of acting parental authority on behalf of underage children over their children, the case of deprivation of parental authority, and the case of a parent with parental authority alone without the status of a legal representative. There is also a problem in the composition of provision related with each proxy decision for minor patients and general patients. The ambiguity of the reasons for restricting the right to decide makes it difficult to judge who the members of a group of decision makers. The fact that various requirements for exercising the right to decide must be supplemented by interpretation causes difficulty in implementing the decision to withhold or discontinue life-sustaining treatment in the medical field. Furthermore, the flaw in legislation that makes it impossible to withhold or discontinue life-sustaining treatment for patients without any family to decide shows the need to accept the theory of an abstract hypothetical intention to replace the present family decision system. Finally, the fundamental point to be mentioned is that we should remember that the design of the present system for the decision to withhold or discontinue life-sustaining treatment is to ensure that the patient's own conviction to choose the path of ‘natural death’ be properly respected.

The Strange Appropriation: “Novels on Spanish Princes” in Russian Popular Literature of the End of 17th – First Half of 18th Centuries
Authors:   A.M. Gorky Institute of World Literature of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Ershova Irina V. ,   The Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration
Published: January 2023

The article deals with the history of Russian manuscript tradition from the period since the end of the 17th – first half of the 18th century that is a version of the so-called European “popular literature.” These books were addressing mass audience interested in fictional literature, and contained secular and entertaining stories, mainly based on amorous adventures. Part of this Russian tradition was represented by translated novels, including the trend that might be aptly defined as “novels on Spanish princes.” This description is systematically used in the titles of corresponding texts, and that facts looks rather strange, considering almost total lack of knowledge of Spanish literature or language, or any contacts with Spain in the Russian culture of the time. Through the analysis of a number of these texts (“The Novel of Brun,” “The Story of Decoronij,” “The Story of Doltorn,” and several others), the author comes to a hypothetical explanation of the origin of this peculiar genre that becomes a specific appropriation of Spanishness in Russian literature.
“The Ghost of the Pedantic Accuracy”: “Romeo and Juliet” by Shakespeare in Anna Radlova’s Interpretation
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Lutsenko Еlena M. ,   The Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration
Published: January 2023

The article touches upon the most vital aspects in the discussion of the 1930s on the philologically accurate translation. The author analyses A. Smirnov’s and M. Morosov’s critical remarks to A. Radlova’s translation of “Romeo and Juliet” and reconstructs how Radlova translated this Shakespeare tragedy. The article sets forth the idea that the discussion on Radlova’s translation of “Romeo and Juliet” anticipates Radlova and Chukovsky’s debates. In relation to this the author explains why for the Collected Works of Shakespeare (1958–1960) A. Smirnov chose Shchepkina-Kupernik’s translation of “Romeo and Juliet” but not Anna Radlova’s one. Carried out for the first time, the comparative analyses of these texts allows to see in detail the difference in their interpretation of key terms in the theory of translation of that epoque. The author of the article evaluates Radlova’s interpretation of “Romeo and Juliet” on the basis of A. Smirnov’s claim that in the translation of “Othello” and “Romeo and Juliet” Radlova follows the same translation method. To disprove Smirnov’s idea, we take into consideration such requests of K. Сhukovsky as the oversimplification of syntax, that deforms Shakespeare’s intonation, the omission of important words (as well as the effacement of some small one-syllable words) for the sake of measure and line to line correspondence in translation, and the roughening of the original text. The articles proves that the only method used by Radlova systematically is the last one. Other defects were most probably smoothed out due to A. Smirnov’s corrections.

Artificial muscles with large strokes are of special interest in diverse
fields. However, it is difficult for large-diameter muscles to be
rapidly cycled. In this study, hair artificial muscles with extremely
large tensile stroke and fast recovery were prepared simply by twist
insertion, coiling and steaming. The maximum tensile stroke for the hair
artificial muscles upon water actuation was as large as 10000% and the
large-stroke muscles could recover fast in ethanol. With a diameter of 7
mm and a twist density of 2500 turns m, the
compacted heterochiral hair artificial muscle could elongate 100 times
of its original length in water and returned to its initial length in
ethanol within 10 s. In addition, these hair artificial muscles
maintained their excellent performance after either 100 water-ethanol
stimulation cycles or staying in open air for 5 months. Moreover, the
hair artificial muscle was able to contract by 59% when lifting 10
times its own weight, pull a wheel model or climb a long distance under
water and work as a smart water-sensitive switch. This work demonstrates
a facile and green strategy to prepare advanced natural fiber-based
artificial muscles that have promising applications in soft robotics and
biomedical engineering.

Hydrologic and Water Quality Modeling of Bioretention Columns in Cold Regions
Authors: Zhang Wenming , Yu Yang , Li Zhuowen , Yu Tong , Guo Shuai , Zhou Yongchao , Li Xiaochen
Published: January 2023

Bioretention is widely used in urban sustainable stormwater management.
However, limited numerical research has been conducted on its
performance in cold regions, particularly for winter snowmelt, spring
runoff and summer large storms (> 50 mm) for urban flood
mitigation. In this study, HYDRUS 1D was used to explore these knowledge
gaps. The model was comprehensively calibrated and validated against
2-year hydrologic and water quality data of four bioretention columns
with different designs under lab-simulated cold region conditions. The
Morris method was used to measure the sensitivity and interaction of the
calibrated hydraulic parameters. The model revealed that the effective
hydraulic conductivity ( K) values of the soil
media were similar for winter snowmelt and spring runoff when the soil
temperature was around -0.5 °C. Preferential flow is likely to occur in
soil media during winter or spring of cold regions. The summer modeling
showed that the bioretention could substantially reduce peak flow,
ponding depth and duration for large storm events (even for 1:100 local
storm with 83.4 mm in 4 hours). The water quality modeling confirmed
experimental results that the bioretention effectively removed phosphate
and ammonium but had leaching issues for chloride and nitrate. Finally,
optimization and recommendations of bioretention columns were provided.
Motion Parameters Estimation of Manoeuvring Weak Target with Multiple Motion Stages based on RST-STFrFT
Authors: li zijing , Zhang Qilei , Dong Zhen
Published: January 2023

It is well known that long time coherent integration (LTCI) can
effectively improve the radar detection ability of manoeuvring weak
targets, since a considerable signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) improvement
can be achieved [1]. However, for most existing LTCI algorithms
[2-5], there is a common assumption that the observed target is of
the single motion stage (i.e., the motion parameters of targets are
uniform) during the coherent processing interval (CPI). However, with
the advancement of manoeuvrability and the increasement of CPI, the
observed target might be of multiple motion stages. In this case, the
above-mentioned LTCI algorithms will not be effective any more. The
specific LTCI algorithms developed for manoeuvring weak target with
multiple motion stages are relatively few. In [6], a short-time
generalized radon-Fourier transform (STGRFT) based LTCI algorithm is
proposed to remove range migration (RM) and Doppler frequency migration
(DFM) effects and estimate the stage-changing point. Similar as
GRFT[5], STGRFT can be able to obtain an excellent SNR gain through
multi-dimension parametric searching. In [7], a reference signal is
introduced to compensate the motion parameters change (MPC) effect
between different motion stages, and then GRFT is utilized to achieve
the coherent integration during the CPI. However, the computational load
of these algorithms is quite high, since the key procedure is based on
the multi-dimension parametric searching. This may deteriorate the
engineering practicability of these algorithms.
Toward Optimal Rainfall for Flood Prediction in Headwater Basins - Orographic QPE error modeling using machine learning
Authors: Liao Mochi , Barros Ana P.
Published: January 2023

Quantitative Precipitation Estimates (QPE) from merged rain gauge and
radar measurements have become widely available in the last two decades.
The errors associated with these products are yet to be fully
understood, especially in complex terrain where ground clutter and
overshooting artifacts are significant and vary in space and time
depending on the storm and underlying synoptic conditions. The location
and timing of precipitation in addition to rainfall intensity and
duration are critical to the simulation of flood response in headwater
basins. This work proposes a generalizable Physics-guided Artificial
Intelligence (PAI) framework for QPE error modeling. First, QPE error
climatology derived from the hydrologic Inverse Rainfall Correction
(Liao & Barros, 2022) to historical floods in selected headwater basins
is analyzed to identify dominant precipitation regimes. Second, for each
precipitation regime, a Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) error prediction
model is trained using event-specific precipitation metrics at hourly
scale as input, and subsequently used to predict estimation errors for
various QPE products. The corrected QPE can then be used for hydrologic
simulations and flood nowcasting. The PAI framework is demonstrated in
the Southern Appalachian Mountains using the 57 largest floods over
2008-2017. The Probability Distribution Function of predicted
precipitation errors follows a Gaussian-like distribution but varies
significantly between cold and warm season events, while the spatial
distribution is inextricably connected to basin geomorphology. On
average, large improvements on hourly KGE from -0.5 to 0.4 are achieved,
and the peak flood error is reduced by 70%, with distinctively better
results for cold season events.

Numerical Simulation of The Magnetic Levitation System in State-Space Form
Authors: Mustopa Opa
Published: January 2023

The maglev system is a technology that uses the repulsive force between magnets to float or levitate an object or vehicle. Maglev trains use electromagnets to counter the gravitational force of an object, so that the object can float in the air. With this technology, the resulting loss between the workpiece and the base can be eliminated. The technology used in this train is Electromagnetic Suspension (EMS). The research began by modeling the maglev system in the form of state space. Furthermore, the stability system model that has been built is analyzed. Finally, it is analyzed how the numerical simulation of an open loop without control is analyzed. The result of this research is that the floating system (maglev) is an unstable system if it is run in an open loop, so the maglev system requires sensors and controls in its operation.
