Crise Epistemológica da Teoria Quântica
Authors: Amorim Feitosa João Renato
Published: May 2024

Podemos facilmente constatar que o desenvolvimento das principais teorias do conhecimento do período moderno da filosofia ocidental guardou uma estreita relação com o status quo do desenvolvimento da matemática e das ciências de uma maneira geral. Essa característica é sobretudo evidente no projeto kantiano de fornecer as bases filosóficas para explicar a possibilidade da geometria (euclidiana) e da física newtoniana, as quais Kant fundamentou sob princípios os quais considerou condições sine qua non do conhecimento humano. Contudo, a física que se desenvolveu na primeira metade do século XX apresentou situações em que os próprios físicos tiveram que se questionar acerca dos problemas epistemológicos envolvidos na descrição, interpretação, e em última instância, na comunicação dos fenômenos observados, de modo que alguns conceitos caros à epistemologia tradicional se mostraram ora inválidos, ora ineficientes para explicar a possibilidade de conhecimento objetivo diante desse novo conjunto de fenômenos. Portanto, gostaríamos de apresentar de maneira breve de que modo ocorre essa contraposição entre epistemologia tradicional e teoria quântica, bem como o modo como os físicos Niels Bohr e Werner Heisenberg lidaram com a nova situação que se apresentava.
(Bio)polícia
Authors: Da Silva Lira João Jânio , Cozza Sayão Sandro
Published: May 2024

Foucault cunhou o termo biopolítica ao pensar filosofia política, esse conceito designa um duplo percurso: a) anátomo-política (regulação dos corpos) e b) biopolítica da população (massificação das condutas). Entremeio essas noções surgem a polícia: um dispositivo que é aparelho de disciplina e aparelho de Estado e caracteriza a racionalidade política moderna como uma “tecnologia política dos indivíduos" entre os séculos XVII e XVIII (Era Clássica). É para situar os efeitos dessa racionalidade política que o autor situa o nascimento da polícia (police). Este trabalho, portanto, tem como foco investigar a noção de polícia nos escritos de Foucault a partir do prisma de uma genealogia da polícia como bio-polícia e questionar-se se essa ideia nasce como 1) um dispositivo de repressão, como se costuma pensar, ou 2) como uma técnica de aperfeiçoamento da soberania estatal e reforço do Estado dentro do próprio Estado. Neste trabalho defendemos a segunda hipótese.
Nominalismo de Foucault a partir de Nietzsche
Authors: De Souza Pedro , De Oliveira Figueiredo Rodrigo
Published: May 2024

Neste artigo buscamos analisar alguns dos pressupostos metodológicos que contribuem para a compreensão do nominalismo de Foucault, assim como algumas das decorrências teóricas desse nominalismo. Com esse objetivo, na primeira parte tratamos da sua “recusa” dos universais, com ênfase na distinção, feita no primeiro volume da História da sexualidade, entre sexo e sexualidade. Em um segundo momento, sublinhamos esta opção de método de Foucault a partir de excertos de Nietzsche que demarcam o caráter arbitrário e contingente do conhecimento.
Herança do Dualismo Modernista Natureza-Sociedade
Authors: Marras Stelio
Published: May 2024

O que fazer com a herança do dualismo natureza/sociedade entre os modernos? Este artigo contrapõe-se a certa inteligência crítica contemporânea que tem se bastado em negar essa herança como um todo. É preciso, antes, saber triá-la – seja para enfrentar ameaças da magnitude do Antropoceno ou da pandemia da Covid-19, seja para enfrentar os negacionismos científicos em curso. Defende-se aqui que uma antropologia dos modernos não é uma antropologia contra os modernos. Idem em relação à ciência e tecnologia.

Authors: Stukovnik Vita , Vuk Vita , Horvat Marina , Vrečko Pizzulin Vesna
Published: May 2024

Given the expanding utilisation of technology in educational settings, online learning has become a common teaching method. It prevailed during the Covid-19 pandemic, but the effects of attending videoconferences with active participation on psychological functioning have not yet been studied in detail. This article aimed to evaluate the relationship between videoconferencing and sleep quality – one of the crucial mechanisms promoting physical and mental well-being. Additionally, we were interested in the potential mediating role of videoconferencing fatigue in this relationship. The survey took place during the Covid-19 epidemic (in Spring 2021). Our results show a negative relationship between videoconferencing/screen device use and sleep quality and that this relationship is mediated by videoconferencing fatigue. Results of the further analysis revealed that perceived study suitability plays a significant role in determining to what extent the duration of videoconferences relates to feelings of videoconferencing fatigue. Our findings aid in understanding the relationships between videoconferencing, Zoom fatigue, and sleep better. They may be helpful in optimising remote learning today, as they remain frequently used in higher education worldwide.

Published: May 2024

In this study, Graphite Oxide (GO) film with a 2-D structure was successfully synthesized via the Hummer method. The GO film was further reduced by hydrazine to form a few layers of graphene. The graphite oxide and reduced graphene oxide synthesized in this study were characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Raman spectroscopy, and XRD analysis. A low-cost method using simple chemicals was employed to synthesize GO films with high conductivity on a large scale. The synthesized reduced graphene oxide can serve as an excellent material for various applications due to its lower cost and higher thermal, mechanical, and electrical conductivity. Large surface area graphene-based sensors and solar cells can efficiently replace expensive Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs).
Finding Space: Creating Community Spaces: The Potential of Feng Shui + Adaptive Reuse for Cultural Centres
Authors:   , Gunawan Natasha
Published: May 2024

This proposal aims to recognise the Indonesian community and the need of a Chinese Indonesian focused venue for the community to have a sense of belonging and pride residing in Wellington. This thesis explores the shift of Wellington cultures and more particularly the growing presence of Southeast Asian migrants, specifically those who are of Chinese Indonesian descent. Establishing an Indonesian Cultural Centre with a Chinese Peranakan Interior focused design in Wellington, will provide a space for the community to gather and showcase their cultural heritage, connect with others who share similar backgrounds and experiences, and promote cultural exchange and understanding.

Despite Wellington’s unique and vibrant architectural style, it is evident that signs of neglect in regards of the city’s existing buildings are present through the growing number of heritage buildings being ‘forgotten’. This research seeks to reveal the significance of heritage building interiors and the value of preserving its identity, exploring how adaptive reuse is the most ideal strategy to rehabilitate heritage building interiors. In hopes to prevent the outcome of demolition of heritage interiors, strategic actions such as adaptive re-use can be the best solution alongside the rehabilitation method.

This design-led research will provide a case study of The Albemarle Hotel in Wellington, to explore the significance of heritage building interiors and the value of Feng Shui principles, particularly through the establishment of a Chinese Indonesian cultural centre within a heritage building. The rehabilitation of a heritage building for a Chinese Indonesian cultural centre can contribute towards the city and its future; it can help to attract visitors to the area, promote community pride and cohesion.

Furthermore, the preservation of a heritage maintains a sense of historical continuity and identity within the community. This will provide insights for other heritage building projects that face similar challenges in terms of rehabilitation and adaptive reuse.

Published: May 2024

This research aims to determine the influence of digital literacy on the Integrated Social Sciences learning outcomes of students at SMP Negeri 1 Selong, East Lombok. The research method adopts a quantitative approach. The sampling technique was stratified random sampling. Stratified random sampling is a sampling technique in which the population is not homogeneous. To accurately describe the characteristics of a heterogeneous population, the population is divided into uniform strata, and each stratum is randomly sampled. The results of this study show that the R-squared value is 0.427. It can be concluded that the influence of digital skills on students' learning outcomes is 42.7%, and the rest is due to other influences. The R value of 0.31 is within the range of 0.21 to 0.40, so the relationship between these two variables belongs to the weak category. In the Coefficient column, you can see that the intercept value is 55.547 and the X value is 0.210. Therefore, we can create the regression equation: Y = 55.547 + 0.210X. Based on the regression equation, we can say that each unit increase in digital skills increases learning outcomes by 0.210.

The ensuing composites underwent rigorous testing, including flexural strength, hardness, and impact resistance assessments.The findings underline the complex factors governing WPC mechanical properties. Pine-based WPCs, reinforced with pine wood powder and subjected to alkali treatment, exhibited the highest flexural strength at 29.56 MPa, whereas the lowest flexural strength of 14.65 MPa was observed in WPCs reinforced with alkali-treated teak wood powder. The highest impact strength quantified at 2.54 kJ/cm², was found in untreated pine wood powder-based WPC. In contrast, the lowest impact strength was identified in teak wood powder-based WPC treated with alkali.

Synthetic refrigerants used in air conditioner (AC) are very important in depleting the ozone layer and prohibiting global warming. This has led to the application of R32 and Musicool 22 (MC22) as a substitute for R22 because refrigerant is considered more environmentally friendly. Therefore, this research aimed to compare the performance of applying both R32 and MC22 refrigerants in 1 PK split AC using the coefficient of performance (COP) as the indicator for AC performance and compressor power consumption. MC22 filling mass was varied at 90% (202.14 grams), 100% (224.6 grams), and 110% (247.6 grams) of R32 mass, and condenser inlet temperatures at 28°C, 30°C, 32°C, and 34°C. The results showed that MC22 could be used as a viable alternative to R32 due to the higher refrigeration effect value of 332.36 kJ/kg recorded for refrigerant

In dealing with era society 5.0, a gas company uses the Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) system, which is a remote data reading automation technology system for measuring instrument data in the field, which then conveys the information to the center via communication media data. In the Metering/Regulating Station (M/RS) installation, AMR is connected to the Electronic Volume Converter (EVC) which functions to transmit data from measuring instrument readings in the EVC to the data collection server. The modem on the AMR system uses a power supply from the solar panel system during the day and a battery system at night. The system for handling incomplete data disturbances is currently still in corrective action due to the unavailability of a solar panel monitoring system in the AMR system, causing difficulties for the team in conducting root cause analysis due to problems with battery voltage which are unable to cure AMR. To change the operation and maintenance activities of the AMR system, which was previously corrective action into preventive action, the authors will design and build a long-distance integrated solar panel monitoring system at AMR with the following features monitoring temperature, voltage, and current modules of solar panels, monitoring temperature and battery loading, and AMR remote restart function.

Recent technological advancements, particularly in air conditioning cooling systems, have led to rapid developments such as inverter technology. Inverter technology provides various advantages including energy savings compared to non-inverter air conditioners. Globally, the inverter modulates the compressor to continue operation despite reaching the set temperature. This study aimed to monitor the performance of split inverter air conditioners utilizing microcontroller technology. The microcontroller model employed was the ATmega2560, capable of logging each test parameter and displaying in real-time. Additionally, the ATmega2560 integrated sensors including the DS18B20 temperature sensor and PZEM 004-T multifunction electrical sensor. Monitoring occurred over one hour of operation on a 8525 Btu/h capacity split inverter AC. Experimental monitoring results showed the lowest Tsupply at T1 compared to other temperatures, reaching 8°C. At Treturn, both T1 and T2 exhibited identical decreasing trends to 25.5°C around 3000 s. The minimum power variation occurred at P5 relative to other variations. The average power consumption of the split inverter AC was approximately 750 W. The minimum energy consumption observed was at E5 during the study, while the maximum was at E1 with peak energy consumption of 0.96 kWh. Microcontroller-based experimental monitoring can provide real-time results and shows promise for monitoring split inverter AC performance.

The pack carburizing method is a technique that can be employed to enhance the surface hardness of Low-Carbon Steel (LCS). This method can potentially improve the hardness of the material while maintaining its strength. This study aims to investigate how different carburizing media, specifically varying percentages of Buffalo Bone Charcoal (BBC) powder as a carbon source, impact the mechanical properties of LCS. The temperature in the carburizing process ranges from 850°C and 950°C while maintaining a holding time of 2 hours. The carbon derived from buffalo bone charcoal is finely ground and mixed with barium carbonate (BaCO3) as the energizer during this process. This study used different ratios of BBC powder and BaCO3 as carburizing mediums. The ratios tested were 60% BBC + 40% BaCO3, 70% BBC + 30% BaCO3, and 80% BBC + 20% BaCO3, based on the weight of the BBC powder used in the carburizing process. The steel will be combined with BaCO3 and powdered BBC for this research. Next, the fatigue test was examined. BBC in the pack carburizing process increases LCS carbon content by 0.735% from 0.268%. This change alters the steel's microstructure, possibly increasing its hardness and wear resistance. The direct link between BBC concentration and LCS carbon enrichment shows the process's efficiency. Pack carburizing also improves LCS fatigue strength. This improvement is due to higher BBC concentration, smaller carburizing medium particles, and higher processing temperatures. After carburizing, the LCS can resist 36,625 to 61,435 cycles.

Previous research has discussed tea drying machines with energy sources from PLN. Tea drying machines with refrigerant systems require large electrical energy costs. The electrical energy produced by a tea drying machine is proportional to its performance and cost. This research designed a 400 WP solar cell (PLTS) as a power supply for drying tea leaves. PLTS was combined with a PLN electricity source. Hybrid energy from PLTS and PLN was designed to maximize the use of electrical energy used by drying tea leaves. PLC and SCADA were used to monitor input current, output voltage, and output power. PLC and SCADA can optimize load requirements. When the solar radiation received by the solar panels was not optimal, PLN was able to back up load requirements. The average voltage produced by hybrid energy was 232.4 V. Hybrid energy was able to save power usage of 108.92 W or 12.8% of the load power requirements
