Geopolitical Factors in Regional Development
Authors: Baklanov P.Ya.
Published: December 2020

Выделяются геополитические факторы, оказывающие влияние на региональное развитие: геополитическое положение страны (региона), геополитический потенциал, геополитические интересы и проблемы. Приводится обобщенная оценка, в том числе картографическая, геополитического положения России и ее трех макрорегионов: Европейского, Сибирского и Дальневосточного. Отмечается важнейшая особенность сложившегося геополитического положения России – ее асимметрия. Она проявляется в том, что на западе РФ своими наиболее развитыми районами выходит к небольшим и средним по величине странам с их также небольшими геополитическими потенциалами, а на востоке своим менее освоенным и развитым Дальневосточным регионом РФ выходит к крупнейшим странам мира: США, КНР и Японии. Выделяется такой геополитический фактор, как трансграничность практически всех российских районов, прилегающих к морям Тихого океана – трансграничность морских бассейнов: Чукотского, Берингова, Охотского и Японского, а также бассейна Амура. Такие бассейны являются зоной пересечения геополитических интересов стран, выходящих к соответствующим морям. В то же время в трансграничности заложены объективные предпосылки международного сотрудничества. Приводятся основные формы учета геополитических факторов в региональном развитии. Ключевые слова: геополитические факторы, геополитическое положение, геополитический потенциал, интересы, проблемы, трансграничность, трансграничные бассейны.

Published: December 2020

In the article, the bryophytes of the upper reaches of the Western Bug River, which is physically and geographically located within Male Polissya, partly Roztochia, and to a minor extent in the Gologoro-Voronyatsky denudo-structural hills, have been studied. Based on our survey, a list of the bryophytes has been compiled for the first time. Ecological features, substrate preferences and life forms of the bryophytes have been analysed. According to the ecological features, subheliophytes (30.9%) and hemisciophytes (30.9%) predominate in the spectrum of heliomorphs; mesophytes (29.7%), hygromesophytes (21.2%) and xeromesophytes – in the spectrum of hydromorphs (19.4%); cold-tolerant species (59.4%) – in the spectrum of thermomorphs. Based on the analysis of the substrate preferences of the bryophytes, the following groups were identified: epigeans (116 species), epixils (56 species), epiphytes (46 species), epiliths (43 species), aquatic (22 species). The prevailing life forms are turf (30.3%), rough mat (18.2%), weft (15.2%), tuft (10.3%) and smooth mat (9.7%). 3 species that are officially recognised as rare and 16 species that are recognized as regionally rare have been found. In the group of bryophytes associated with wetland ecosystems, 2 officially rare and 6 regionally rare species were found in the study area. Given the large areas of drained land in Lviv Region, these species are of particular value, especially in the context of conservation of the biodiversity and protection of the valuable natural areas in accordance with the Development Strategy of Lviv Region by 2027.

Authors: Strzeżoń Ksenia
Published: December 2020

The quality of the botanical composition of meadows and pastures is decisive in the profitability of livestock farming. The aim of this study was to examine the floristic composition of meadows and pastures of the Wadowice commune and to assess their feed value. Field explorations were carried out in June 2016 throughout the commune. Floristic lists were made on 51 designated plots using the estimated Klapp method. Four groups of similar plots with the following dominant species were distinguished in the analysed area: I – plots with Phleum pratense and Vicia cracca, II – plots with Dactylis glomerata and Trifolium repens, III – plots with Holcus lanatus, and IV – plots with Arrhenatherum elatius. The results of the research showed that, in the area of this commune, meadows and pastures were characterised by average and good pasture values, which favours their use for agricultural purposes. Improving the quality of the botanical composition of plots of medium fodder value could be achieved through proper care and sustainable use.

Published: December 2020

Indian mustard (Brassica juncea L. Czern) cultivation is suggested for regions with short seasons and low rainfall. Although there have been many studies conducted on agronomic production of mustard in Iran, the information regarding the interactive impact of cropping seasons and nitrogen fertiliser on growth characteristics and yield quality of mustard plant is still insufficient and requires further investigation. This study focused on the possible implications of different cropping seasons and different nitrogen levels on selected agronomic traits in mustard. In this experiment, five different doses of nitrogen and two sowing periods were used to assess for their combined effects on the growth parameters, seed yield and agronomic characteristics of mustard in the semi-arid climatic conditions of Takestan. The results revealed that cultivation seasons and nitrogen rates had a significant effect on plant height, biomass yield, number of siliques per plant, seed oil content and seed yield.
Effect of Morus alba L. leaf extracts on seeds germination and the seedlings growth of Sinapis alba L. and Cucumis sativus L.
Authors: Biel-Parzymięso Joanna
Published: December 2020

Plant growth and development can be modified, including modification by chemical processes that result from neighbouring plants. If interactions in the natural environment between one plant and another are of a chemical nature, then this phenomenon is called allelopathy. The aim of the study was to determine the effect of aqueous extracts of Morus alba L., at concentrations of 3%, 5% and 10%, on the germination and growth of Sinapis alba L. (mustard) and Cucumis sativus L. (cucumber). It was found that allelopathins contained in the extracts slowed the germination of both species. The highest, 10%, extracts significantly inhibited germination. It was found that with an increase in allelopathin concentration, there was a significant inhibition of the growth of underground and above-ground plant organs. A complete lack of growth was observed for mustard plants grown from seeds watered with extracts during germination for 48 hours. Compared to the control plants, a differences in the growth of fresh and dry mass in plants watered with extracts during the germination and growth phases were found. Depending on the timing of treatment and the type of organ tested, aqueous mulberry leaf extracts at lower concentrations had a positive effect on the growth and development of the analysed species. Extracts with a higher concentration of chemical compounds had a negative impact on both mustard and cucumber.
Categories of Vendian catchments – sources of fine-grained aluminosiliciclastic materials for the Serebryanka and Sylvitsa group deposits (Middle Urals)
Authors: Maslov A. V.
Published: December 2020

Research subject. The article discusses a number of geochemical features (distribution of lanthanides and Th, values of (La/Yb)N and Eu/Eu*) of fine-grained clastic/clay rocks of various Vendian regional stages of the western slope of the Middle Urals. The results were interpreted in the context of data on the composition of the catchment areas of a number of modern rivers and information on the distribution of the same characteristics in suspended matter and modern bottom sediments of the “downstream North Dvina River–White Sea”.

Methods and materials. The content of La, Sm, Eu, Gd, Yb, and Th in as many as 200 samples of shales and mudstones of the Serebryanka and Sylvitsa groups served as a research material. The research method was an analysis of the localization of individual and average data points of clayey rocks of the Laplandian, Redkinian, Belomorian and Kotlinian regional stages on paired diagrams (La/Yb)N–Eu/Eu* and (La/Yb)N–Th developed on the basis of analytical data on the composition of bottom sediments of estuarine parts of different categories/classes of modern rivers.

Results. It was shown that the sedimentary sequences of the western slope of the Middle Urals are mainly composed of fine-grained clastic material belonging to categories 1 (sediments of world major rivers) and 2 (sediments of rivers draining sedimentary/mixed sedimentary formations). This material is likely to have entered the sedimentation area from the east, from the growing Kadomian Varanger-Kanin-Timan folded-thrust belt/Timan orogen, or/and from the west (Riphean sedimentary sequences of Kama-Belsk aulacogen). In addition, the igneous and metamorphic rocks of the East European Platform basement composing the structures, which could be classified as “igneous/metamorphic terranes” under modern classification, were likely to have made a certain contribution.

Conclusions. The obtained results agree well with the conclusions obtained earlier as a result of mineralogical and petrographic studies of the conglomerates and sandstones of the Serebryanka and Sylvitsa groups, as well as with the data from a previous geochemical analysis of clay rocks.

Authors: Przhiyalgovskii E. S. , Lavrushina E. V.
Published: December 2020

Research subject. A series of research studies was conducted in the Alai Range area, at the junction of the folded Tien Shan and Pamir provinces with the purpose of investigating the morphological structure of alpine deformations in the Paleozoic basement and Mesozoic–Cenozoic sediment cover.

Materials and Methods. Structural and geological observations were carried out in the Alai and Kichi-Karakol inter-mountain depressions and their mountainous surroundings. These investigations included an analysis of the morphology and orientation of the deformation structures of the sedimentary cover and structural inconsistencies based on detailed geological mapping; measurements of the orientations of tectonic slickenlines and slickensides in the zones of active faults; processing the entire complex of data in terms of kinematic strain indicators using proven methods and calculation programs in order to determine the main parameters of the stress-strain state of the upper crustal rock complexes.

Results. The age intervals and kinematic conditions of the main phases of structural transformation of the Southern Tien Shan at the Alpine stage of tectogenesis were determined based new structural and geological data, as well as materials published in previous works. It was demonstrated that, in the territory of Alai, the most significant deformations and activation of the Paleozoic basement faults occurred at the Neogene-Quarter boundary.

Conclusions. At the present stage, the area under study constitutes a relatively stable block, which does not experience significant deformations associated with the encroachment of the upper crustal rock complexes of the Northern Pamir from the south.
Latitudes of the Eastern Ural microcontinent and Magnitogorsk island arc in the Paleozoic Ural Ocean
Authors: Burtman V. S. , Dvorova A. V. , Samygin S. G.
Published: December 2020

Research subject. Rocks of the Paleozoic Eastern Ural microcontinent and Magnitogorsk island arc occupy a significant part of the Southern Urals and some part of the Middle Urals. The Western Urals are composed of rocks of the ancient Baltic continent and overthrust oceanic rocks. In the Eastern Urals and Trans-Urals rocks of the accretion complexes, oceanic crust, island arcs, the Eastern Ural microcontinent and the Kazakhstan Paleozoic continent are widespread. Rocks are exposed in the Denisov tectonic zone. The Magnitogorsk simatic Island Arc originated in the Ural Ocean, near the Baltic continent, in the early Devonian, developing from the Emsian to the Famennian. A collision between the Magnitogorsk arc and the Baltic continent occurred in the Famennian century. In the pre-Carboniferous age, the Eastern Ural microcontinent was located in the Ural Ocean. In the Tournaisian period, the Eastern Ural microcontinent accreted with the Baltic continent. The Kazakhstan continental massif was located on the other side of the Ural Ocean. The volcanic belt above the subduction zone was active on the edge of the Kazakhstan continent in the Early–Middle Devonian and in the Early Carboniferous. A subduction under the Baltic and Kazakhstan continents consumed most of the crust of the Ural Ocean by the middle of the Bashkir century. As a result, the Baltic continent (together with the Eastern Ural microcontinent) came into contact with the Kazakhstan continent. The formation of folded orogen began in the Moscow century following the collision of sialic terrains.

Materials and methods. The research was based on the relevant data obtained by several researchers in 2000–2018 on rock paleomagnetism.

Results. The paleolatitudinal positions of the Eastern Ural microcontinent were determined, comprising 5.3 ± 7.4°) in the Middle Ordovician and 8.2 ± 7.2° in the Early–Middle Silurian. The respective paleolatitudinal positions for the Early–Middle Devonian comprised: the Ural margin of the Baltic paleocontinent (7.7 ± 3.7°), the Magnitogorsk island arc (3.2 ± 3.1°) and the Ural margin of the Kazakhstan paleocontinent (20.6 ± 3.8°).

Conclusion. According to the analysed paleomagnetic data, in the Early–Middle Devonian, the distance between the latitudes of the margins of the Baltic and Kazakhstan continents was not less than 600 km provided they were in the same hemisphere, and more than 2,300 km provided they were in different hemispheres. The convergence of the terrains was associated with the subduction of the Ural Ocean crust before its closure, which occurred in the Tournaisian century.
Deformation of the Earth’s crust: measurement methods, regularities, nature
Authors: Zubkov A. V. , Sentyabov S. V.
Published: December 2020

Research subject. This paper investigates rock deformations and stress states in mineral excavation sites.

Materials and research methods. On the basis of a 20-year geodeformational monitoring of natural stresses and deformations in the rock mass at mining sites in the Urals, carried out by the Laboratory of Geodynamics and Rock Pressure at the Institute of Geology and Geology of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, we propose a novel structure of natural stress fields with reference to their change over time. Measuring instruments should be calibrated using standards of length and weight, including surveying tape measures, tapes, wires of various chemical composition, light and radio-range finders.

Results. For the mining sites under study, the parameters of the variable component of stress fields with a chronological reference were determined, along with a forecast of loads both during preparatory and mining stages up to 2022. The experiments showed that, along with lithostatic (gravitational) and tectonic stresses, it is necessary to distinguish variable “astrophysical” rock stresses due to the cyclic expansion and contraction of the Earth.

Conclusions. Using available measurements obtained during the most recent 11-year nanocycle of solar activity, regularities in the formation of rock deformations and stresses were revealed. A forecast of natural stresses with an increase in variable “astrophysical” stresses in the upcoming solar activity cycle was made. Measurements of rock deformations are currently performed using methods based on various physical principles. The results obtained thus far are relative, not permitting to judge about absolute values. The numerical values of dozens of fundamental physical constants are also variable. The international community of scientists should develop a mechanism to track changes in their magnitude over time.

Published: December 2020

Pulmonary embolism is rarely diagnosed in pediatric burn patients and is often only discovered at autopsy. Herein we would like to present the case of a pediatric patient with pulmonary thromboembolism who was burnt by hot water at home. A 4-year-old girl who was treated at an external center for 9 days due to second degree burn injuries in both legs. After the discharge she had suddenly become restless and than gone unconscious. Since pulmonary thromboembolism was suspected as the cause of cardiopulmonary arrest, a pulmonary computed tomography angiogram was taken, which showed a thrombus in the lobar and segmental branches of the right pulmonary artery supplying the right lower lobe. Enoxaparin sodium treatment (2×1mg/kg) was initiated. At day 16, a control computed tomography angiogram showed that the thrombus in the lobar and segmental branches of the pulmonary artery had disappeared. This case report illustrates the importance of chemoprophylaxis against pulmonary embolism in both pediatric and adult burn patients. In such cases, especially the severe ones, a sudden deterioration of patient’s clinical status in the form of respiratory distress or failure should raise suspicion about the possibility of pulmonary embolism.

Published: December 2020

Motivation is a fundamental factor for all kinds of activities, highlighting in it the role of emotions. Motivation is present, both in artistic practice and in the educational context, classifying as extrinsic or intrinsic. Reviewing fundamental authors on motivation directed to arts education students, variables such as time, resources, passion and the environment were found. Other strategies consist of evaluating: the importance of emotions, spaces, experimentation, recognition of the work done, reinforcement of the feeling of value and creative abilities, ideas, the introduction of new tools, unexpected objects and unexpected people. The importance of teamwork, getting out of the comfort zone, visiting artist studios or inviting artists to participate in classes is also defended. Attention is paid to the rhythms of each student, some faster, others calmer, giving them the necessary time according to the rhythm of each student. Today the increase in digitization also affects motivation in Art Education
Auto Colorization of Gray-Scale Image Using YCbCr Color Space
Authors: Saleem Eman , El Abbadi Nidhal K.
Published: December 2020

The process of converting gray images or videos to color ones by adding colors to them and transforming them from one-dimension to three-dimension is called colorization. This process is often used to make the image appear more visually appealing. The main problem with the colorization process is the lack of knowledge of the true colors of the objects in the picture when it is captured. For that, there is no a unique solution. In the current work, the colorization of gray images is proposed based on the utilization of the YCbCr color space. Reference image (color image) is selected for transferring the color to a gray image. Both color and gray images are transferred to YCbCr color space. Then, the Y value of the gray image is combined with the Cb and Cr values of the reference image, based on the Euclidian distance between them. The quality of the resulted image was measured based on several quality measures, which indicated very good results. The proposed algorithm is simple, efficient, and fast.
Comparing Ionospheric MUF using IRI16 Model with Mid-Latitude Ionosonde Observations and Associated with Strong Geomagnetic Storms
Authors: Al-Shallal Ala'a A. , Al-Ubaidi Najat M. R.
Published: December 2020

High frequency (HF) radio wave propagation depends on the ionosphere status which is changed with the time of day, season, and solar activity conditions. In this research, ionosonde observations were used to calculate the values of maximum usable frequency (MUF) the ionospheric F2- layer during strong geomagnetic storms (Dst â‰¤ -100 nT) which were compared with the predicted MUF for the same layer by using IRI-16 model. Data from years 2015 and 2017, during which five strong geomagnetic storms occurred, were selected from two Japanese ionosonde stations (Kokubunji and Wakkanai) located at the mid-latitude region. The results of the present work do not show a good correlation between the observed and predicted MUF values for F2- layer during the selected events of strong geomagnetic storms at these stations. Thus, there is a further need to improve the IRI-16 model for better matching with the observations during strong geomagnetic storms.

A partir de la reflexión sobre las estrategias a las que recurren profesores y estudiantes universitarios de danza para enseñar y aprender técnica académica en cuerpos latinoamericanos, se indaga en la comprensión consciente e inconsciente de ciertos abordajes pedagógicos de la técnica académica que buscan superar la distancia que relaciona dos realidades históricas y culturales diferentes: la técnica académica y el cuerpo latinoamericano. Mediante un recorrido histórico y el análisis de los factores influyentes recopilados en entrevistas a profesores y estudiantes, se logra identificar temas fundamentales a abordar en la simbiosis de dichos elementos que parecen, en ocasiones, tan distantes entre sí y que intervienen en el desarrollo de la técnica académica universitaria. La consideración en la sala de clases de los factores recopilados en las entrevistas da luces sobre una nueva concepción de la técnica académica que se está llevando a cabo en las aulas. Se construye una nueva mirada que pone en cuestión la unificación y homogenización y que da cabida a la diversidad como principal característica identitaria latinoamericana. Finalmente, esta apertura a la modificación de los parámetros rígidos determinantes de la técnica académica en pro de la diversidad constituye una manifestación de resistencia sociopolítica, en tanto responde al cuestionamiento de imposiciones externas a sus identidades latinoamericanas.
Analysis of 0W-20 Totachi Brand Oil to Determine the Rate of Oil Deterioration

Published: December 2020

Engine oil or lubricating oil has a major effect on the engine life and the proper operation of any engine. Changing the engine oil before it is due increases a customer’s cost. The lubricating oil in every engine performs many functions such as reducing friction, preventing corrosion, protecting the engine against wear, removing all impurities, lubricating the moving parts, and cooling the engine parts. There are several causes for the deterioration of lubricating oil, including the properties of the oil, oil quality, and high engine temperatures. Consequently, the deteriorated oil must be replaced at a specified mileage or at specific time intervals to get the best engine performance. It is very important to know when to change the oil, because changing the oil too late can affect the engine parts and vehicle performance. However, replacing the oil too early influences the economy and environment and is an inefficient use of depleting resources. This study describes the kinematic viscosity, flash point, and fire point of multigrade Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) 0W-20 Totachi (Totachi Industrial Co. Ltd., Japan) international brand oil, which has a 10,000 km guarantee and is approved by and used in 10 different vehicle brands, to determine the rate of deterioration of the parameters. These parameters are the most important physical behaviors of lubricating engine oils. Having information about these parameters is very important for maintaining an engine’s lifespan. The results of this study showed that after 10,000 km, the Totachi oil parameters such as the kinematic viscosity at cold start, at 40°C and at 100°C, the flash point, and the fire point decreased by 22.03%, 25.98%, 26.75%, 16.94% and 17.34%, respectively, from the base values, and that the oil is suitable to use for 10,000 km.
The Downside of Software-Defined Networking in Wireless Network

Mobile traffic volumes have grown exponentially because of the increase in services and applications. Traditional networks are complex to manage because the forwarding, control, and management planes are all bundled together and, thus, administrators are supposed to deploy high-level policies, as each vendor has its own configuration methods. Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is considered the future paradigm of communication networks. It decouples control logic from its underlying hardware, thereby promoting logically centralized network control and making the network more programmable and easy to configure. Low-power wireless technologies are moving toward a multitenant and multiapplication Internet of Things (IoT), which requires an architecture with scalable, reliable, and configured solutions. However, employing an SDN-based centralized architecture in the environment of a low-power wireless IoT network introduces significant challenges, such as difficult-to-control traffic, unreliable links, network contention, and high associated overheads that can significantly affect the performance of the network. This paper is a contribution toward a performance evaluation for the use of SDN in wireless networking by evaluating the latency, packet drop ratio (PDR), data extraction rate (DER), and overheads. The results show that SDN adds a high percentage of overheads to the network, which is about 43% of the 57% user packets, and the DER drops when the number of mesh nodes are increased, in addition to the high loss that was observed for packets that traveled over more hops.

The Middle–Late Jurassic Sargelu, Naokelekan, and Barsarin formations of northwestern Iraq have been investigated in the Shaikhan oilfield (well Shaikhan-8) to assess their potential for hydrocarbon generation.The results of total organic carbon analysis and rock-eval pyrolysis revealed a good-to-excellent hydrocarbon content and suggest that the depositional conditions were suitable for the production and preservation of organic matter. The thermal maturity proxy indicates that the studied formations were at the start of the hydrocarbon generation period. Most of the samples from the Sargelu and Barsarin formations belong to kerogen type II, whereas those of the Naokelekan Formation belong to kerogen type II/III. The Pr/Ph, Pr/n-C17, and Ph/n-C18 ratios of the extracted bitumen indicated that the organic matter originated from marine sources under reducing conditions. The stable carbon isotope composition of the saturated and aromatic hydrocarbon fractions ranged from –28.3 to –27.7 ‰ and –28.0 to –27.7 ‰, respectively. The biomarker results show a high contribution of marine organic matter that was preserved under relatively anoxic conditions. The profiles of the burial and thermal maturity history show that the simulated generation zones, based on the calculated vitrinite reflectance, indicate immature (0.44%–0.6%)-to-early oil generating (0.6%–0.75%) source rock. The low thermal maturity of the studied formations relative to the depth may be attributed to the low geothermal gradient and heat flow.

In this exploratory study, the antifeedant activity of ethanolic extracts of nine plants native from central region of Argentina on Alphitobius diaperinus (Panzer) (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) was evaluated, looking for low environmental impact management alternatives. Adults of A. diaperinus were exposed to food treated with the extracts to assess whether feeding behaviour and survival were altered. None of the extracts affected adult survival. However, the extracts of Gaillardia megapotamica, Vernonanthura nudiflora, Baccharis artemisioides, Lithraea molleoides, and Ambrosia artemisiifolia had a strong antifeedant effect (92-96%). The other extracts evaluated slightly affected (50-55%) the food consumption. The extracts of G. megapotamica and B. artemisioides were administered with the food to the fifth larval stage to assess whether they affect survival, feeding behaviour, and weight of immature forms. The B. artemisioides extract generated a marked deterrent effect of feeding on the larvae (76%) during the first week of experimentation, although the effect weakened over time. On the other hand, G. megapotamica produced a moderate deterrent effect (41-74%) throughout the experiment. The extracts also affected weight, survival, and number of larval exuviae in relation to the control

In the present work, a new macrocycle materials (SB77) was selected and Langmuir-Blodgett thin films of this macrocycle compounds were examined for its vapor sensing capabilities against vapor of aromatic BTX hydrocarbons (benzene, toluene, xylene) through Quartz Crystal Microbalance (QCM) technique. In accordance with this aim, the calix[4]arene LB thin films were prepared onto quartz crystal substrates. The characterization of SB77 LB thin film was performed for nine LB layers fabricated onto the quartz crystal. The frequency shifts and the mass changes for monolayer of these LB thin films were obtained as 32.35 Hz / per layer and 2206.65 ng (8.32 ng mm-2), respectively. All QCM results indicated that SB77 LB thin film chemical sensors exhibits high response, a good sensitivity and selectivity for benzene vapor at saturated or different concentrations than other aromatic hydrocarbon vapors. These LB thin film sensors with SB77 calix [4]arene macrocycle materials have been potential candidates for organic vapor sensing applications with simple and low cost preparation at room temperature.

Serpong - Cinere Toll Road which is being built has a 10.14 km long road that connects South Tengerang City Banten Province with Depok City West Java Province is part of the Jakarta Outer Ring Toll Road 2, which is expected to make it easier for motorists from Jabodetabek which will go to the Airport Soekarno-Hatta International and Jakarta or vice versa. Serpong - Cinere toll road development in its implementation is also possible to carry risks that must be taken seriously. This is related to the impact of risks that arise that can hinder and harm the project implementers in terms of cost, time, quality and scope of work. To minimize this risk, it is necessary to apply risk management in its implementation. Related to this, the study was conducted to find out the picture of risk management in the implementation of Serpong - Cinere toll road construction. This research used a descriptive qualitative research design with a case study method through a survey strategy using a questionnaire as a research instrument. After the results of the questionnaire are obtained, the next step is to arrange the importance level of risk to find out which risks have the most potential to hamper the process of carrying out the work. Furthermore, the Risk Breakdown Structure is analyzed based on the opinion of the respondents to find out what actions are taken to overcome the dominant risks which of course have a large influence on the completion of a job. The next step is the allocation of risk ownership, especially risks in the dominant category so that each party responsible can exercise the best control. The results showed that 40 risks (88.89%) of the 45 risks identified in the implementation of the Serpong - Cinere toll road construction project were included in the category of dominant risk that could potentially hamper work in terms of time, quality and cost. The largest risk ownership with the Serpong - Cinere toll road development project is owned by the Implementing Contractor at 59.38% risk, Owner at 31.25% and Supervisory Consultant at 9.38%.

Covid-19 pandemic affected all of the country. Not only affected public’s health, pandemic also massively affected the social state and country’s economy. Some of the country already entering the recession, not limited to Indonesia. One of contributed sector in Indonesia’s economy is construction industry sector which this sector now in declining growth. The implementation of Work-from-Home (WFH) in construction company is one of many ways so the economy and construction sector in Indonesia keep on the track. On contrary, contractor’s engineering process in project need intensed communication with stakeholder and direct monitoring so it’s against the WFH concept. This research aim to know the effectivity of every contractor’s engineering process in project during pandemic. The result of research found that quantity survey process, making of method statement, and job safety analysis are effective enough to do with WFH concept. While the process of site construction progress calculation, design fixation, and shopdrawing process and approval are not effective to do wih WFH concept.
