Published: December 2021

In Indonesia, the problem of nutrition is still very high, we should prepare the Indonesian generation in a healthy, intelligent and quality manner to be able to continue the development of the Indonesian nation to be more advanced, just and prosperous. The survey results obtained data for 72 children under five, there were 83.3% under five with good nutritional status, 2.8% under five with overweight status, 12.5% ​​under five with malnutrition status, and 1.4% under five with poor nutritional status. The purpose of the study was to determine the relationship between knowledge, attitudes and actions of mothers in giving food to the nutritional status of children under five. This study used a cross sectional analytic survey, the primary data was obtained from the measurement of the toddler's weight. The population of this research is all mothers who have toddlers totaling 72 respondents, the sample in this study is all of the total population. The research analysis was univariate and bivariate using the Chi-Square test. The results showed that there was a relationship between mother's knowledge (P-value = 0.001), mother's attitude (P-value = 0.02), and mother's actions (P-value = 0.01) with the nutritional status of children under five.
Preliminary validity study comparing the prone lumbar hypermobility test against the prone instability test*
Authors: Lawson Gordon , Gryfe David
Published: December 2021

Abstract: Objective: The Prone Instability Test (PIT) is an established orthopaedic test that predicts the probability of low back pain patients responding positively to a spinal stabilization program (.71 sensitivity, .57 specificity for PIT). This preliminary study suggests the Prone Lumbar Hypermobility Test (PLHT) as an effective alternative to the PIT that is more suitable for a wider population due to the modified patient positioning. In contrast to the PIT, the PLHT has the patient's entire body supported by the examination table. This is hypothesized to maximize patient comfort while still maintaining clinical effectiveness for the chronic low back pain population. The purpose of this preliminary study is to determine whether the PLHT is comparable to the PIT in diagnostic effectiveness when predicting the benefits of stabilization interventions. Methods: To compare the clinical effectiveness of the PLHT to the PIT, each subject underwent parts I and II (relaxed and contracted) of each test (PIT and PLHT). 36 subjects received both parts of PIT and PLHT (in a randomized order). Subjects assumed each of the four positions and 4 kg/cm2 of pressure was applied directly on the skin over the L4 spinous process, using an algometer. The subjects verbally indicated perceived pain following each of the 4 positions. Results: Of the 36 participants included in the study, 23 participants had a negative PIT and a negative PLHT and six had a positive PIT and a positive PLHT. Three participants had a positive PIT and negative PLHT and four had a positive PLHT and negative PIT. This indicates that the PIT and PLHT have a statistically significant level of agreement. Conclusions: This study found that the PLHT is valid in identifying negative results in the predicted negative population, as well as positive results in the predicted positive population. For future investigations, a larger sample size is advantageous - particularly with an evenly distributed and accurate sample of positive and negative participants. This will more accurately determine the validity of the PLHT and broaden the application of the PLHT to the population for which the test is aimed to identify in clinical practice.

mejoría de la calidad de la piel. El volumen de grasa parece que necesita aproximadamente de 3 meses para estabilizarse. Con el acompañamiento de hasta un ano, notamos que a través de un examen físico y de fotografías, hubo poca reabsorción del injerto y mantenimiento del volumen. Conclusión: a través de exámenes clínicos de los pacientes sometidos al procedimiento en nuestro servicio, fue posible comprobar resultados satisfactorios y estimulantes en relación a la permanencia de la grasa injertada.
Reconstrucción mamaria diferida con expansor-implante y matriz dérmica autóloga. Una alternativa terapéutica aplicable en tejidos no irradiados.
Authors: Suárez Oyhamburú Darío Lautaro
Published: December 2021

Introducción y Objetivo.

La reconstrucción mamaria diferida o post mastectomía tiene una importancia trascendental en la vida de la mujer así también como parte del tratamiento integral y multidisciplinario del cáncer mamario, ya que tamaña agresión impacta en la autoestima y funcionalidad social en aquellas mujeres que por algún motivo no fueron sometidas a reconstrucción inmediata. El objetivo es describir a través de la técnica expansor-implante, matriz dérmica autóloga, injerto de grasa y reconstrucción del complejo areola pezón con tejidos autólogos, los resultados alcanzados en pacientes mastectomizadas y reconstruidas de manera diferida.

Material y Método.

Es un estudio  retrospectivo, longitudinal, observacional y descriptivo de una serie pequeña de 5 pacientes privadas mastectomizadas no irradiadas que no fueron sometidas por algún motivo a reconstrucción inmediata en otros centros médicos y que acudieron al consultorio privado derivadas por médicos cirujanos  mastólogos-oncólogos  para ser sometidas en forma diferida a reconstrucción con expansor implante en una secuencia técnica de 3 tiempos quirúrgicos en un periodo comprendido entre abril  del 2015 y octubre del 2020.

Resultados.

La reconstrucción diferida habitualmente la realizamos con expansor-implante y optamos por la utilización de colgajos autólogos siempre cuando se hubiera irradiado la mama enferma. En 4 de 5 pacientes realizamos la reconstrucción del complejo areola pezón (CAP), 3 pacientes fueron de reconstrucción unilateral y 2 de bilateral, en 2 mujeres ocupamos prótesis de doble lumen tipo anatómicos y en 3 mujeres expansor con puerto a distancia, utilizando en 2 pacientes, prótesis de forma redonda y en un implante expansor anatómico.  Presentamos un caso de deflación del implante a los 3 años post reconstrucción no reportamos casos de necrosis grasa, ni cuadros infecciosos, no presentamos casos de contractura capsular y reportamos un solo caso de seroma tardío de origen traumático en una paciente de reconstrucción unilateral a los 7 meses post implante.

Conclusión.

La técnica reconstructiva diferida de expansor-implante, matriz dérmica autóloga, y tejidos propios para la reconstrucción del CAP, representan una buena opción terapéutica de baja morbilidad en pacientes que no han sido sometidas a irradiación post mastectomía. Creemos que a nivel nacional aún faltan  políticas en salud y conductas  que beneficien a las mujeres con cáncer  mamario en el camino largo del tratamiento integral de la enfermedad  hasta la reconstrucción  mamaria y su re inserción con funcionalidad social, laboral y emocional, para unificar criterios y protocolos entre servicios públicos,  privados, ministerio de salud, secretarias regionales de salud  y sociedades científicas de Mastologia y Cirugía Plástica  apoyando a los pocos equipos en reconstrucción mamaria , optimizando protocolos médicos que beneficien  a las pacientes enfermos.
The Opinions and Perceptions of K1-3 Parents in Relation to BYOD Implementation in Japanese Kindergartens
Authors: White Jeremy
Published: December 2021

Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) is a concept that is gaining a following worldwide as a cost-effective means for schools to provide 21st-century skills (Bell, 2010) with limited funding. The current paper shows the results of a survey into the opinions and perceptions of parents of Japanese K1-3 students' use of technology, specifically the application of BYOD at this level. This survey was conducted at a private kindergarten in Japan and was administered to 100 parents of K1-3 students. Results of this survey showed that even at this age, students have access to and use a variety of devices within the home environment under the guidance of parents. In addition, device time usage varied significantly by household, with some children allowed to use devices for over 90 minutes per day. However, when asked if they would accept BYOD at the K1-3 level, the answers were overwhelmingly negative. Thus, the results of this survey show that while BYOD was considered acceptable from the higher grades of elementary school, the idea of implementing a BYOD program at the K1-3 level is still a step too far for parents of kindergarten students in Japan.
User Localization in an Indoor Environment by Combining Different Algorithms through Plurality Rule

Published: December 2021

User localization in an indoor environment has a wide application area including production and service systems such as factories, smart homes, hospitals, nursing homes, etc. User localization based on Wi-Fi signals has been widely studied using various classification algorithms. In this type of problem, several Wi-Fi routers placed in an indoor environment provide signals with different strengths depending on the location/room of the user. Most classification algorithms successfully make the localization with a high accuracy rate. However, in the current literature, there is no widely accepted 'best' algorithm for solving this problem. This study proposes the use of the plurality rule to combine several classification algorithms and obtain a single result. Plurality voting rule is an electoral system where the candidate that polls the most vote wins the election. We apply the plurality rule to the indoor localization problem and generate the Majority algorithm. The Majority algorithm takes the 'votes' of five different classification algorithms and provides a single result through plurality rule. Results show that the mean accuracy rate of the Majority algorithm is higher than the classification algorithms it combines. In addition, we show that proving a single accuracy rate is not sufficient for declaring that an algorithm is better than the other. Classification algorithms select the training and test data randomly and different divisions result in different accuracy rates. In this study, we show that comparing the classification algorithms through confidence intervals provides more accurate information.
Modeling of ECG and SCG Signals Using Predefined Signature and Envelope Sets
Authors: Hardal Emir , Zaim Gokbay Inci
Published: December 2021

Seismocardiogram (SCG) is a low-cost monitoring method to collect precordial vibrations of sternum due to heartbeats and evaluate cardiac activity. It is mostly used as an auxiliary measurement to the other monitoring methods; however, it carries significant patterns reflecting current cardiovascular health status of subjects. If it is properly collected within a non-clinical environment, it might be able to present preliminary data to physicians before clinic. SCG signals are morphologically noisy. These signals store excessive amount of data. Extracting significant information corresponding to heartbeat complexes is so important. Previously, the method called compressed sensing (CS) had been applied to weed up the redundant information by taking the advantage of sparsity feature in a study. This compressed sensing is based on storing significant signals below the Nyquist rate which suffice for medical diagnosis. It has been feasible to compress SCG signals with 3:1 compression rate at least while maintaining accurate signal reconstruction. Nevertheless, higher compression rates lead to the formation of artifacts on reconstructed signals. This limits a more aggressive compression to reduce the amount of data. The requirement of a different approach which will allow higher compression rates and lower loss of information arises. The purpose of this study is to obtain more competent results by using a method called predefined signature and envelope vector sets (PSEVS) which has been satisfyingly applied to electrocardiogram (ECG) and speech signals. In the study, simultaneously recorded ECG and SCG signals were modeled with the method called PSEVS. The reconstructed signals were compared to the original signals so as to investigate the efficacy of signature-based modeling methods in constructing medically remarkable biosignals for clinical use. After examining the components of reconstructed signals called frame-scaling coefficient, signature and envelope vectors, it has been seen that the error function values of envelope vectors differ from expected values. We concluded that reconstructed SCG signals were not adequate for medical diagnosis.

Authors: Morrone Carla , Tron Alberto , Colantoni Federico , Ferri Salvatore
Published: December 2021

The aim of this paper is to investigate if top executives’ turnover affects the performance of a company and if it differently impacts the performances of a healthy and a restructured company. In order to investigate the impact of the renewal of both members of the board of directors and CEO impacts on company profitability, we performed a quantitative analysis based on a sample of 144 Italian companies using a logit model. The findings show that management changes influence the performance of a company. However, the results show a different impact for healthy and restructured companies. The renewal of the board of directors negatively affects the performances of a healthy company while influences positively the probability of a future increase in performances for restructured companies, suggesting useful implications for scholars and practitioners. This analysis confirms that the renewal of top executives can affect the probability of an increase of company performances, especially for distressed firms, contributing to existing literature which is still limited and focused only on few countries.

Health Acceptance through Camp : Mixed-Method Data from a Central-European Therapeutic Recreational Based Camp for Seriously Ill Children
Authors: Papp Zsuzsanna Katalin , Somogyi Borbála , Wilson Cait , Török Szabolcs
Published: December 2021

This study aims to understand how youth living with serious illness retrospectively value their therapeutic recreational (TR) based camp experience. We focus primarily on how they learned to accept their health condition, what they consider the most valuable outcome from camp, and through which mechanisms the camp contributed to these outcomes. The study applied a mixed-method online survey measuring learning outcomes retrospectively in a sample of 18–25-year-old camp alumni (N = 60) from the Hungarian ‘Camp of Courage’ (Bátor Tábor). Questions regarding illness acceptance and health competence formed the quantitative part and were analyzed via descriptive statistics. We assessed the most important camp outcomes with open-ended survey questions in the qualitative part, and applied a deductive thematic analysis method. Our research found that illness acceptance and health competence are important constructs for young adults, and TR-based camps may play a major role in their development. We organized recurring themes under the overarching theme ‘restorative experience and growth’ as the main benefit from camp and under ‘unconditional acceptance’ as the camp mechanism contributing to this benefit. Those campers who have experienced illness-based limitations in life before expressed most benefits in psychosocial domains. They highlighted the acceptance, empathy, and social support at camp, experienced mainly through interactions with peers and camp counselors. We may conclude that Camp of Courage provides a suitable environment for psychosocial rehabilitation of youth affected by childhood cancer or other serious illness. We recommend further research on the roles of illness acceptance and social interactions at camp.

MATHEMATICAL MODEL AND ANALYTICAL SOLUTION FOR THE VIBRATION OF INCLINED FLUID-TRANSPORTING SUBMARINE PIPELINES
Authors: An C , Li T T , Duan M L , Huang H B
Published: December 2021

Due to the complexity of submarine environments, the nature of the dynamic response of free-spanning submarine pipelines, particularly inclined pipelines, is unclear. This paper aims to theoretically analyze the vibration behaviors of inclined fluid-transporting free-spanning submarine pipelines in the deepwater area. The mathematical model for the vibration of inclined fluid-transporting pipelines is established considering the influence of gravity on vibration response, and a non-linear wake oscillator is employed to model the vortex shedding behind the pipeline free span. The partial differential equation system is solved through the generalized integral transform technique (GITT), which is an analytical or semi-analytical method. Parametric analysis are carried out to investigate the effects of the inclination on the dynamic response of fluid-transporting pipelines. It is found that the inclination of the free- spanning pipeline will radically alter the natural frequency of the structure, and consequently the VIV lock-in region. In addition, the slope of the seabed will cause a more significant internal flow effect. The thorough theoretical understanding of inclined fluid-transporting pipelines helps increase the design accuracy for pipelines installed on a seabed with a highly irregular topography.
TELFER’S GEOSIM METHOD REVISITED BY CFD
Authors: Delen C , Bal S
Published: December 2021

In this study, Telfer’s GEOSIM method for the computation of ship resistance at full scale has been applied by CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) approach. For this purpose, the KCS (KRISO Container Ship) hull has been investigated numerically with k-ε turbulence model for three different scales and full scale analyses by URANS (Unsteady Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes) method. Full scale ship resistance has been predicted using the numerical results computed at different model scales by Telfer’s GEOSIM method. The numerical results at three scales have also been extrapolated separately to that at full scale by ITTC 1978 performance prediction method. An experimental study has also been carried out at a model scale for validation. The results by Telfer’s GEOSIM method have been calculated almost in full compliance with those of CFD approach. While the difference between the results of CFD and those of ITTC extrapolation method is about 5% at full scale, the difference between the results of CFD and those of Telfer’s GEOSIM method has been found to be less than 1% at full scale. In addition, this method has been applied to estimate the nominal wake coefficient at full scale from model scales. A very good correlation has also been found for nominal wake coefficient.

INVESTIGATION OF HULL STRENGTH OF RIVER SEA CONTAINER VESSEL
Authors: Rahman S
Published: December 2021

River sea vessels are ships for inland navigation and suitable for restricted navigation at sea in regions where, - significant wave height does not exceed 2m, according to Bureau Veritas Rules for the classification of inland vessels. In a container vessel structure, almost the entire deck space is occupied by hatches, leaving a narrow strip of deck plating outboard. This calls for a topside structure of heavy plating or a double hull to provide material in tension, stiffness against lateral and torsional loads, and resistance to buckling in compression when the vessel is in sagging condition. For sea going open deck vessels, torsional loading plays a predominant part to the hull girder strength and for inland navigation open deck vessels; the effect of torsion is rather negligible. Keeping this scenario in mind, the aim of this project is to investigate the hull strength of a river sea container vessel under combined bending and torsional loading to study the effect of torsion on river sea open deck vessel. To perform the strength analysis, firstly, a finite element model is created using Femap with NX Nastran software for the investigated vessel. Therefore, still water and wave loads are calculated using direct calculation. To find out the still water loads Argos software is used and for the wave induced loads potential flow software Hydrostar is used. Next, Finite element model is verified with classical beam theory and thin wall girder theory. Then the effect of various loading conditions on structural response is investigated. After, structural response of different hull configurations are scrutinized under combined bending and torsional loading. Finally, some recommendations are proposed for structural response of river sea container vessel subjected to combined bending and torsional loading.

The weather criterion is one of stability criteria to verify ability of a ships to withstand the combined effects of severe wind and rolling criteria in dead ship condition. An overestimated roll angle is obtained when the weather criterion is applied to ships with breadth and draught ratios larger than 3.50 and ratios between vertical centre of gravity and draught larger than 1.50. This paper discusses the assessment of weather criterion for an Indonesian ro-ro ferry by model experiments. The drift test is performed in four wave steepnesses with wave frequencies near the roll natural frequency. The maximum roll amplitude is used to calculate the effective wave slope coefficient correponding to the wave steepness, with Bertin’s coefficient obtained by the roll decay test. The damping factors correspond to the breadth and draught ratio as well as the bilge keel contribution are determined using the formula of weather criterion with the roll angle obtained by the Japanese formula with a correction factor of 0.70 due to the irregularity of waves. The obtained effective wave slope coefficient and the damping factors due to breadth and draught ratio and the bilge keel are smaller than those used in the weather criterion.

The residual buoyancy of vessels after damage has a fundamental role in their survivability and it is implemented through adequate ship internal subdivision. Traditionally the number and the position of transverse watertight bulkheads are selected for most ships early in the design phase by means of the “floodable length curve” coupled with the concept of “margin line”. However, for naval vessels, it is more and more common during the acquisition process to explore a wide domain of feasible ships, identified with the assistance of automated processes and assessed also in terms of capabilities, among which is survivability. The generation and the comparison of a considerable number of different ship configurations is very time consuming. Therefore recourse to a parametric expression of the floodable length curve is considered to be a very efficient approach and would thus enable characterisation of the ship, in terms of survivability performance. In this paper such an approach is presented, using an offshore patrol vessel (OPV) as the case study.
SET POINT TRACKING CONTROL OF A REMOTELY OPERATED VEHICLE USING MODEL PREDICTIVE CONTROL
Authors: Prasad M P R
Published: December 2021

This paper considers kinematics and dynamics of Remotely Operated Underwater Vehicle (ROV) to control position, orientation and velocity of the vehicle. Cascade control technique has been applied in this paper. The pole placement technique is used in inner loop of kinematics to stabilize the vehicle motions. Model Predictive control is proposed and applied in outer loop of vehicle dynamics to maintain position and velocity trajectories of ROV. Simulation results carried out on ROV shows the good performance and stability are achieved by using MPC algorithm, whereas sliding mode control loses its stability when ocean currents are high. Implementation of proposed MPC algorithm and stabilization of vehicle motions is the main contribution in this paper.
INTEGRATED ACCIDENT MODEL FOR MARINE CONVOY TRAFFIC IN ICE- COVERED WATERS
Authors: Khan B , Khan F , Veitch B
Published: December 2021

Independent safe navigation in ice-covered water is difficult. Icebreaker assistance is required for sailing through ice- covered waters. This poses an additional risk of collision. The study proposes a modified Human Factor Analysis and Classification (HFACS) framework to identify and classify contributing risk factors during a convoy. HFACS integration with Nagel-Schrekenberg (NaSch) model considers an operator’s behaviour and links it with the occurrence of various risk factors. The study finds significant influence in risk from small changes in two new factors, viz., crew reduction and crew overload. For example, based on the sensitivity analysis, it is determined that about a 17% contribution of crew reduction and about a 24% of contribution of crew overload increase the contribution of risk taking by an amount of approximately 93% in the overall risk of accidents. The accident probabilities obtained here will be helpful in decision making concerning safe operations during a convoy.

Current study mainly focusses on the development of a conditional assessment system for reinforced concrete structures present in marine environment demonstrating with a case study of cargo berths (CB) at Deendayal Port Trust, Kandla, Gujarat, India. The maximum tidal range at the study area is nearly 8m, making the field non-destructive tests (NDT) challenging. The proposed assessment system is based on the damage level classification (DLC) of structure, evaluated by a set of widely used NDTs. The study further investigates the usage of DLC system in comparison with the Condition Rating (CR) method developed by Verma et al. NDTs were conducted at 182 locations between CB 7-10 and observed that the condition of the marine structure, indicated by CR system and DLC system is similar irrespective of their different test approaches. The proposed DLC assessment system is reliable, quick, efficient and requires relatively lesser efforts compared to the CR system.

Este trabalho é fruto de pesquisas realizadas na dissertação do Programa de Pós-graduação em Memória: Linguagem e Sociedade, da UESB. Ao entender a Capoeira como uma construção realizada a partir das matrizes civilizatórias africanas, este artigo mostra os desafios gerados pelas tensões existentes em Vitória da Conquista-Ba, como resultados obtidos durante os estudos de mestrado. Existência de tensões ocasionadas pelos conflitos ao longo do processo de disseminação da Capoeira que ilustram as lutas enfrentadas atualmente pelo Mestre Acordeon e pelo Mestre Pantera, apontados na cidade como os principais disseminadores da Capoeira nas décadas de 1980 e 1990. Para isso, utilizamos como referencial teórico-metodológico os escritos de Nora (1993), Fentress e Wickham (1992), Portelli (1997) e Meihy (2010), pois as memórias destes conflitos possibilitaram investigar o processo de disseminação da Capoeira em Vitória da Conquista até os anos 2000. Os resultados apontaram conflitos e tensões relacionadas à busca de empregabilidade e sustentabilidade; desmoralização; resistência ao preconceito racial; enfrentamentos políticos; disputas de memórias; ocupação de espaço e autonomia; iniciativas que impulsionaram a disseminação da capoeira.
A Nova Rota Econômica do Futebol: megaeventos esportivos e "o sonho chinês das três Copas"
Authors: Castro Raul de Paiva Oliveira
Published: December 2021

Pretendemos fazer uma investigação acerca da recente ascensão do futebol na China. Poucos estudos nas Ciências Sociais têm conferido a devida atenção ao crescimento econômico do "dragão asiático" e sua relação com a alteração da geopolítica desse esporte nos últimos anos. Então, o objetivo central desse estudo é elucidar o surpreendente desenvolvimento do futebol chinês, a partir das estratégias de poder encabeçadas pelo Estado, como também da participação do mercado. Para cumprirmos nossa proposta, analisaremos alguns documentos oficiais da Federação Internacional de Futebol (FIFA), da Associação Chinesa de Futebol (CFA) e da República Popular da China (RPC), conferindo ênfase ao "Plano de desenvolvimento do futebol chinês a médio e longo prazo (2016-2050)". Observaremos como se deu a elaboração desse ousado planejamento estatal e de que maneira tem ocorrido uma forte aproximação entre os chineses e a entidade máxima do futebol mundial para realiza-lo. Através do "socialismo com peculiaridades chinesas" e do "futebol com características chinesas", o Estado, juntamente com a iniciativa privada, tem fomentado a indústria esportiva no país, fundamental para um maior intercâmbio cultural e diplomático.
Os estudos literários na era da pós-verdade
Authors: Bellei Sérgio Luiz
Published: December 2021

Embora visível principalmente na esfera política, o que veio a ser conhecido como pós-verdade, ou seja, o conceito que aponta para circunstâncias em que a fronteira entre fato e ficção se torna intensamente porosa e em que crenças pessoais adquirem valor igual ou superior a fatos considerados objetivos, atinge também os estudos literários no meio acadêmico. É o que se pode verificar exemplarmente em interpretações recentes do conto “Bartleby, o escrevente”, escrito por Herman Melville  em 1853. Enquanto a hermenêutica tradicional definia a validade interpretativa em termos de uma contextualização rigorosa do texto em seu momento histórico e cultural, interpretações recentes associadas ao momento pós-moderno possibilitam a revalidação interpretativa em termos de escolhas idiossincráticas do sujeito leitor ou de sistemas arbitrários de pensamento.
