A new tropical cyclone surge index incorporating the effects of coastal geometry, bathymetry and storm information
Authors: Islam Md. , Lee Chia-Ying , Mandli Kyle T. , Takagi Hiroshi
Published: June 2021

This study presents a new storm surge hazard potential index (SSHPI) for estimating tropical cyclone (TC) induced maximum surge levels at a coast. The SSHPI incorporates parameters that are often readily available at real-time: intensity in 10-minute maximum wind speed, radius of 50-kt wind, translation speed, coastal geometry, and bathymetry information. The inclusion of translation speed and coastal geometry information lead to improvements of the SSHPI to other existing surge indices. A retrospective analysis of SSHPI using data from 1978–2019 in Japan suggests that this index captures historical events reasonably well. In particular, it explains ~66% of the observed variance and ~74% for those induced by TCs whose landfall intensity was larger than 79-kt. The performance of SSHPI is not sensitive to the type of coastal geometry (open coasts or semi-enclosed bays). Such a prediction methodology can decrease numerical computation requirements, improve public awareness of surge hazards, and may also be useful for communicating surge risk.
Remote bed-level change and overwash observation with low-cost ultrasonic distance sensors
Authors: Reeves Ian , Goldstein Evan , Anarde Katherine , Moore Laura
Published: June 2021

Few datasets exist of high-frequency, in situ measurements of storm overwash, an essential mechanism for the subaerial maintenance of barrier islands and spits. Here we describe a new sensor platform for measuring bed-level change and estimating overwash inundation depths. Our MeOw (Measuring Overwash) stations consist of two ultrasonic distance sensors, a microprocessor board, and a camera and are capable of withstanding the impacts of large storm events, can be left unattended to collect data for months to years, and are relatively inexpensive. With the exception of the camera, the MeOw stations are built with all open-source hardware and software. Herein we provide complete instructions for manufacturing the MeOw stations and present observations from a single MeOw station for a three-month (2019) deployment on a frequently overwashed section of Smith Island, VA. The MeOw stations captured three large storm events over the course of the deployment (Hurricane Dorian, Tropical Storm Melissa, and a November nor’easter), as well as several high-tide events. Based on our interpretation of the raw data, bed-level changes occurred throughout the deployment from both storm and non-storm overwash, but were particularly large during Tropical Storm Melissa where initial accretion of approximately 0.15 m was followed by 0.77 m of erosion over three days. The maximum overwash inundation depth occurred during the nor’easter and measured approximately 0.83 m. The variability in bed level over the course of our experiment highlights the importance of in situ high frequency bed-level measurements for constraining overwash inundation depths. MeOw stations are ideally suited for measuring storm overwash — or any process that necessitates tracking bed and water level elevations at high frequency during harsh conditions.
The relative importance of wind-driven and chimney effect cave ventilation: Observations in Postojna Cave (Slovenia)
Authors: Kukuljan Lovel , Gabrovšek Franci , Covington Matthew
Published: June 2021

Density-driven chimney effect airflow is the most common form of cave ventilation, allowing gas exchange between the outside and the karst subsurface. However, cave ventilation can also be driven by other mechanisms, namely winds. We discuss the mechanism and dynamics of wind-driven ventilation using observations in Postojna Cave, Slovenia. We show how seasonal airflow patterns driven by the chimney effect are substantially modified by outside winds. Wind flow over irregular topography forms near-surface air pressure variations and thus pressure differences between cave entrances at different locations. These pressure differences depend on wind speed and direction and their relationship to surface topography and the location of cave entrances. Winds can act in the same or opposite direction as the chimney effect and can either enhance, diminish or even reverse the direction of the density-driven airflows. To examine the possibility of wind-driven flow, we used a computational fluid dynamics model to calculate the wind pressure field over Postojna Cave and the pressure differences between selected points for different configurations of wind speed and direction. We compared these values with those obtained from airflow measurements in the cave and from simple theoretical considerations. Despite the simplicity of the approach and the complexity of the cave system, the comparisons showed satisfactory agreement. This allowed a more general assessment of the relative importance of wind pressure for the subsurface ventilation. We are certain that this example is not unique and that the wind-driven effect needs to be considered elsewhere to provide better insights into the dynamics of cave climate, air composition or dripwater geochemistry.
Voluntary Switching of Visual Motion Rivalry Estimate Human Heart Rate
Authors: Yousef Ahmad
Published: June 2021

We showed that deep breathing and voluntary hand movements are able to effectively and timely alter visual bistable perception, see reference 1 and 2. Deep breathing and voluntary hand movements require cognitive control, however, deep breathing causes stable respiratory sinus arrythmia (RSA). We decided to achieve this study because we have previously claimed that the RSA process is the governor of the visual motion rivalry through the deep breathing, see reference 1. We therefore suspect whether every kind of volitional switching to visual motion rivalry has correlation to the heart rate. Expectedly, we found that deep inhalation which is associated with the perception of the actual visual martial is able to increase the heart rate; and deep expiration which is correlated to the perception of motion reversals is able to decrease the heart rate. Astoundingly, for the voluntary switching through the hand movements, we found that when the human subjects move a pen in harmony with the actual physical direction which results in the perception of the original materials of the visual stimulus; the heart rate is increased. Illusory motion reversals, which appears when the pen is moved in the opposite direction of the actual motion, are correlated to heart rate deceleration!
Bodily skill
Authors: Shepherd Joshua
Published: June 2021

To a first approximation, ‘bodily skill’ refers to the capacity to successfully utilize the body in the world to achieve goals. But the body is complex, and bodily skill manifests in many different ways. Further, work on bodily skill spans the philosophy of mind, action, and cognitive science, as well as the sciences of motor control and perception. This chapter aims to provide an overview of recent themes and key ideas. First, we review work on the nature of skill as such. Second, we discuss ways theorists have discussed the implementation of skill in the human body, and a theoretical difficulty associated with explanations of implementation. Third, we discuss the importance of the idea of a hierarchical representational architecture for understanding skill’s implementation, and various ways this architecture can be made more sophisticated. Fourth, we discuss work that attempts to understand skill execution on-the-fly, and in particular, work that attempts to understand the connection between intentions and motor representations, and the connection between implicit sensorimotor adaptation and explicit planning and executive control. Fifth, we discuss work on the models that assist fine-grained skill execution, as well as the idea that even at rapid, fine-grained motoric levels, one finds intelligent systems and mechanisms supporting skill.

O ensino de mando a pessoas com Transtorno do Espectro Autista (TEA) tem sido tema frequente de investigações analítico-comportamentais. Algumas revisões desses procedimentos de ensino produziram panoramas gerais das intervenções ou analisaram detalhadamente procedimentos específicos. Agregando informações ausentes nessas revisões, no presente estudo foi realizada revisão sistemática de 176 artigos contendo procedimentos de ensino de mando a pessoas com TEA, publicados até setembro de 2020, buscando categorizar e relacionar perfis de participantes, componentes das intervenções e resultados. A maioria dos estudos contou com participantes com até 10 anos de idade e repertório verbal pré-existente. As variáveis independentes mais utilizadas foram reforçamento diferencial e ajuda para o ensino de mando por item, esquemas de reforçamento e treino de comunicação funcional para redução de comportamentos-problema. O controle da operação estabelecedora também foi muito utilizado, seguindo recomendações da literatura para redução de vieses por controle múltiplo. Houve maior variabilidade de participantes quando ensinados mandos básicos, e menor para mandos por informações, que poderia exigir repertório de mando pré-existente. Houve efetividade total da maioria das intervenções, destacando-se pesquisas com treino de aplicadores e reforçamento diferencial e ajuda. Sugere-se análise mais detalhada da relação dos resultados com perfis de participantes e variáveis independentes.
Perceptual Integration and Visual Illusions
Authors: Linton Paul
Published: June 2021

In my first post I argued that inconsistencies in visual space reflect a conflict between visual experience and perceptual judgement. In this second post I argue that the same approach can be applied to (a) the integration of depth cues, and (b) illusions of visual space, to show that they too operate at the level of cognition rather than perception.

Head motion is one of the major reasons for artefacts in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), which is especially challenging for children who are often intimidated by the dimensions of the MR scanner. In order to optimise the MRI acquisition for children in the clinical setting, insights into children's motion patterns are essential. In this work, we analyse motion data from 61 pediatric patients. We compare structural MRI data of children imaged with and without general anaesthesia (GA), all scanned using the same hybrid PET/MR scanner. We analyse several metrics of motion based on the displacement relative to a reference, decompose the transformation matrix into translation and rotation, as well as investigate how different regions in the brain are affected by motion. Head motion for children without GA was significantly higher (mean displacement of $2.19 \pm 0.93$ mm (median $\pm$ standard deviation) during $41.7 \pm 7.5$ min scans); however, even anaesthetised children showed substantial residual head motion (mean displacement of $1.12 \pm 0.35$ mm). For both patient groups translation along the z-axis (along the scanner bore) was significantly larger in absolute terms (GA / no GA: $0.87 \pm 0.29$ mm / $0.92 \pm 0.49$ mm) compared to the other directions. Considering directionality, both patient groups were moving in negative z-direction and thus, out of the scanner. The awake children additionally showed significantly more nodding rotation ($0.33 \pm 0.20~^{\circ}$). Consequently, in future studies as well as in the clinical setting, these predominant types of motion need to be taken into consideration to limit artefacts and reduce re-scans due to poor image quality.
Music for hedonia and eudaimonia during pandemic social isolation
Authors: Hansen Niels Chr.
Published: June 2021

The pandemic spread of the novel coronavirus and associated COVID-19 disease in 2020 prompted governments around the world to pursue strict containment protocols to minimize contagion risk. Although restrictions were interpreted more strictly in some countries than in others, widespread social isolation resulted on an unseen scale, leading to severe negative mental health consequences such as loss of hope, increased anxiety, stress, depressive symptoms, and sleep disturbance. During this time, while governments were battling the health crisis, musical engagement provided key, individualized coping strategies for laypeople. This was first demonstrated anecdotally in captivating balcony music videos from Italy and Spain and later substantiated in large scale, multi-country survey studies. This chapter reviews the emerging research literature on music listening and making during pandemic lockdown to establish how music became a compensatory source of hedonic pleasure and how it satisfied the need for eudaimonic meaning in life during socially and psychologically impoverished times.
Justify Your Alpha: A Primer on Two Practical Approaches
Authors: Maier Maximilian , Lakens Daniel
Published: June 2021

The default use of an alpha level of 0.05 is suboptimal for two reasons. First, decisions based on data can be made more efficiently by choosing an alpha level that minimizes the combined Type 1 and Type 2 error rate. Second, it is possible that in studies with very high statistical power p-values lower than the alpha level can be more likely when the null hypothesis is true, than when the alternative hypothesis is true (i.e., Lindley's paradox). This manuscript explains two approaches that can be used to justify a better choice of an alpha level than relying on the default threshold of 0.05. The first approach is based on the idea to either minimize or balance Type 1 and Type 2 error rates. The second approach lowers the alpha level as a function of the sample size to prevent Lindley's paradox. An R package and Shiny app are provided to perform the required calculations. Both approaches have their limitations (e.g., the challenge of specifying relative costs and priors), but can offer an improvement to current practices, especially when sample sizes are large. The use of alpha levels that have a better justification should improve statistical inferences and can increase the efficiency and informativeness of scientific research.
Visual Space and the Perception / Cognition Divide
Authors: Linton Paul
Published: June 2021

I want to thank John Schwenkler for inviting me to blog about my new book The Perception and Cognition of Visual Space (Palgrave, 2018). In this first post I outline the two major concerns of 3D vision: (1) inconstancy, and (2) inconsistency, and suggest that inconsistency can be avoided by reformulating the perception/cognition boundary.
Variability of b-value before and after the Gorkha earthquake in the Central Himalaya and Vicinity
Authors: Tiwari Ram Krishna , Paudyal Harihar
Published: June 2021

This study computes the b-value of Gutenberg-Richter relation associated with the 25 April 2015 Gorkha earthquake and its aftershock sequences. For this the homogeneous catalogue of 769 earthquakes that occurred in the Himalayan compressed belt and its vicinity was analyzed by three different approaches. The minimum b-values 0.60±0.07 and 0.63±0.06 were observed for windows containing Gorkha earthquake. For time window before Gorkha earthquake, the b-value was noted as 0.89±0.12. It was noted 0.81±0.04 for time window between Gorkha earthquake and Dolakha earthquake and 0.78±0.08 for time window after Dolakha earthquake. The results revealed the fact that b-value starts to decrease for strong earthquake. About 17% jumps of the b value were observed within 17 days between Gorkha earthquake and its largest aftershock, the Dolakha earthquake. The b-value 1.16±0.09 was obtained for the depth range of 0-10 km, 0.89±0.4 for the depth range 10-20 km and 0.65±0.08 for the depth range of 20-30 km. The results strongly support the global trends of decreasing b-value with depth in the continental crust and subduction zones. The low b-value patch observed in the west of Gorkha from contour map depicts the region as the potential zone of future strong seismic activity.

Authors: Gautam S. P. , Silwal A. , Lamichhane N. , Jha A. K. , Aryal B.
Published: June 2021

In this paper, we have presented an analysis of emission lines from two dwarf galaxies. We analyzed the strongest emission lines of wavelength ranging from 4100 Å to 6700 Å.  Among these emission lines, Hα and OIII have the highest intensities with 113.09×10-17 erg/s/cm2/Å and 142.12×10-17 erg/s/cm2/Å in the galaxies SDSSJ222726.64+120539.8 and SDSSJ162753.47+482529.3, respectively. The Gaussian fit carried out in these emission lines showed the perfect fits with regression coefficient greater than 98 %, and full width half maximum (FWHM) of less than 4 Å. The line ratios calculated between Hα and Hβ for SDSSJ222726.64+120539.8 and SDSSJ162753.47+482529.3 were 2.78 and 2.85, respectively, suggesting that the galaxies are starburst galaxies. The measurement of the Hα line from both galaxies was then used to assess the rate of star formation. The star formation rate of the galaxies SDSSJ222726.64+120539.8 and SDSSJ162753.47+482529.3 was found to be 0.010 M☉year-1 and 0.016 M☉year-1, respectively, indicating a low rate of star formation, and the emission line metallicity was derived using the Hα and NII line, which were measured to be 8.23 dex and 8.70 dex, respectively.

Morphological analysis of Cu substituted Ni\Zn in Ni-Zn ferrites
Authors: Parajuli D. , Samatha K.
Published: June 2021

Cu substituted Ni in Ni0.5-xCuxZn0.5Fe2O4 (x = 0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15 and 0.2) samples and Cu substituted Zn in Ni0.5Zn0.5−xCuxFe2O4 (x = 0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15 and 0.2) is synthesized using the sol-gel auto-combustion process. Recently, we have carried out their structural analysis using XRD and FTIR and found a cubic spinel structure. In this paper, we have studied their morphological and compositional structure with the help of a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) attached with an Energy Dispersive Spectrometer (EDS). The comparative study shows that the grain size of Cu substituted Ni is greater than Cu substituted Zn in Ni-Zn ferrite. These smaller grain-sized ferrites are preferred for many microstructural applications. Depending on the available magnetic field, sintering temperature, and atmosphere, they can have different nucleation, and hence their application mode is different. They can have a critical concentration that can tune their properties. The EDS attached with the SEM confirmed the proper composition of samples.

Study of two-photon absorption and optical limiting
Authors: Ghimire Bal Ram
Published: June 2021

Simultaneous absorption of two photons of identical or different frequencies to excite a system that is atom or molecule from the ground state to excited state has great importance. It has an important role as a spectroscopic tool for determining the positions of energy levels that are not connected to the atomic ground state by the one-photon transition. In this work, experimental study of two-photon absorption of fused silica, quartz crystal, and metal halides and optical limiters based on the semiconductors are studied. It was investigated that two photons absorption depletes the transmitted beam but carrier defocusing spreads the beam in space and hence density is reduced. It was realized that limiters with thin samples have low dynamic range and fluency is high on the damage-prone surface and irreversible damage occurs. Some Semiconductors with high nonlinearity are found to be useful materials for optical limiters to protect devices like sensors.

Intention of pursuing nursing as a career and its associated factors among male students in the schools of Banepa Municipality, Nepal
Authors: Shrestha Sulekha , Sharma Alisha
Published: June 2021

Introduction: Nepal Nursing Council issued a notice regarding the inclusion of men in nursing in June 2018. Even with this mandate, only a handful of male students claimed the reservation for nursing education. This study aimed to determine the intention of pursuing nursing as a career and its associated factors among male students in the schools of Banepa Municipality, Kavre, Nepal.

Method: A quantitative analytical cross-sectional research design was adopted and data was collected via convenience sampling technique. A semi-structured questionnaire was administered among male students of grade 10 of the selected schools.

Result: Among 190 respondents, only 11.8% had an intention to pursue the nursing profession as a career. Global opportunities, challenging careers, and reasonable pay were apparent factors that influenced students. However, lack of social support, lack of role model, disrespect, and unpleasant work environment was the major inhibiting factors. Furthermore, the intention to pursue nursing as a career was significantly common among the male students who were acquainted with a nurse and had exposure to nursing care.

Conclusion: The majority of the participants had a positive perception of nursing but did not prefer to pursue nursing as a career due to lack of social support, lack of role models, disrespect, and an unpleasant work environment.
Maternal hemodynamic effect of prophylactic glycopyrrolate after spinal anaesthesia for elective caesarean section
Authors: Piya Roshan , Shrestha Anil , Pradhan Manisha , Amatya Shirish , Hirachan Niroj , Ghimire Binam
Published: June 2021

Introduction: Hypotension and bradycardia are the most common complications during spinal anesthesia. Bradycardia decreases cardiac output, resulting in hypotension and even cardiac arrest. Glycopyrronium, an anticholinergic drug increases heart rate and prevents bradycardia during spinal anesthesia by blocking the effects of acetylcholine on the sinoatrial node. The study aims to measure the maternal hemodynamic effect of glycopyrrolate after spinal anesthesia for elective caesarean section.

Method: An intervention, comparative study was conducted in Patan Hospital after approval from Ethical Committee. Eighty-two pregnant women scheduled for elective caesarean section were randomly assigned in two groups by sealed envelope method; Group I received glycopyrrolate 0.2mg intravenous,  Group II did not receive glycopyrrolate. The patient’s heart rate, blood pressure, mean arterial pressure, a total dose of ephedrine, the occurrence of nausea, vomiting, and dry mouth were recorded. Independent-T test, chi-square test were used for statistical analysis.

Result: Among 82 elective caesarean sections, 41 in each group, Group II (non-glycopyrrolate) reported increased heart rate compared to Group I (glycopyrrolate), but was statistically not significant. The highest recorded diastolic blood pressure was more in Group I compared to Group II and was statistically significant. The highest recorded Mean Arterial Pressure was high in the glycopyrrolate group and was statistically significant. The total dose of ephedrine was lower in the statistically significant glycopyrrolate group. The incidence of dry mouth was more in the glycopyrrolate group and the difference was statistically significant.

Conclusion: Glycopyrrolate reduces the incidence of hypotension but not bradycardia and decreases the need for vasopressor.

Research on developing a methodto estimate fugitive CH4 emissionfactors of coal surface mining in Quang Ninh province
Authors:   Ozone Layer Protection and Low Carbon Economy Development Center, Ha Quang Anh , Ly Viet Hung ,   Ozone Layer Protection and Low Carbon Economy Development Center, Dao Van Chi ,   Faculty of Mining, Hanoi University of Mining and Geology
Published: June 2021

This article presents the approach and the results of estimating CH4 emission from surface mining in Quang Ninh province to develop its fugitive CH4 emission factors. The two largest active surface mines were selected named Nui Beo and Cao Son. By applying a direct measurement method with samples using a specific chamber, CH4 emission was collected and calculated for the whole mine. Results showed that CH4 emission varied from mine to mine both the total amount and its range of maximum and minimum. In detail, the total amount of CH4 emission from Cao Son is 19,032.87 m3with the range of 73.14% while these numbers of Nui Beo are 2,684.47 m3 and 76.38%, respectively. The CH4emission factors of surface mines then were estimated in the range of 0.0850 m3/ton and 0.0225 m3/ton respect to high emission level and low emission level. These values are close to the emission factors generated from Germany (0.015 - Lignite), Canada (0.088 - Lignite; 0.19 - Bituminous), South Africa (0.002÷0.064 - Bituminous). These emission factors are considered as scientific evidence to propose the national factors of CH4 emission of surface mining.

Egg whites of salted duck eggs are normally discarded in the separation of egg yolks. Most of the nutritional values of normal duck eggs are still retained in the egg whites of salted duck eggs. To make use of such egg whites, it is necessary to process the egg whites into a protein-rich powder, which can be used as a food processing material. Nevertheless, long-term storage of the egg white powder is challenging because this powder can easily absorb moisture, resulting in physical deteriorations (e.g: colour change), chemical alternation (e.g., protein and lipid degradation), and biological contamination (e.g., growth of yeasts and molds that produce toxic compounds). A study was conducted to test different types of packaging materials includingone-layered Polyethylene (PE) film, two-layered PE film, and three-layered films (PE, AL-Foil, BOPP/PE, Al/PE, BOPP/Al/PE, PET/Al/PE). The result shows that the most suitable packaging material for the protein-rich powder produced from egg whites of salted duck egg was two-layered AI/PE film. The quality of the product stored in AI/PE film package remained nearly unchanged in 12 months, which proved safe to be used as food processing material.

Dehydration responsive element binding proteins (DREB) are transcription factors linked to cis-acting elements of the promoter region, which regulate plant gene expression in response to abiotic stress. In this study, 69 DREB gene sequences of soybean from NCBI belonging to 18 GmDREB (Glycine max DREB) genes of 1 to 8 copies distributed on 17 chromosomes were identified in which GmDREB3 has 8 copies and the rest consisted of 1 to 4 ones. The motif PTPEMAARAYDVAALALKGPSARLNFPEL containing 11 points associated with the promoter of functional genes existed in 4 main types with the most popular one RGRRWKERRWT found in 13/18 DREB proteins was regarded as the popular AP2 domain of DREB protein. The phylogenetic tree based on the nucleotide sequences of GmDREB genes and the amino acid sequences of the AP2 domain expresses the evolution and relationship of the DREB subfamily in soybean. This study provides comprehensive information about the DREB subfamily, which formed the basis for experimental analyses to clarify the function of some members of this subfamily.

Abies delavayi subsp. fansipanensis (Xiang Q.P.) Rurhforth) or Abies delavayi var. nukiangensis auct.nonis a native plant, distributes at altitudes about 2,400 m above sea level. This plant belongs to the Pinaceae family and is listed in endangered, precious and rare species banned from commercial exploitation. The Abies delavayi subsp. fansipanensis population in Vietnam only concentrates in a mountainous area at the peak of Fansipan with a population diameter of about 3 km at an altitude of 2,600 to 2,950 m, and is about 500 km far from the Abies delavayi population in Cang Shan (China). In this study, the author sequenced the region of the rbcL and trnH-psbA of Abies delavayi subsp. fansipanensis in Vietnam, compared with the Abies delavayi of China to better understand the genetic characteristics of Abies delavayi subsp. fansipanensis in Vietnam. The results showed that the Abies delavayi subsp. fansipanensis in Vietnam has a different nucleotide position compared to the Chinese Abies nukiangensis at nucleotide no. 455 on the rbcL gene region and two other nucleotide positions in the trnH-psbA genome at positions 332 and 503. The sequences of the rbcL and trnH-psbA gene regions of Abies delavayi subsp. fansipanensis from Vietnam were registered into the GenBank with the accession number MK783132 and MK783131, respectively.

Juvenile delinquency is a phenomenon caused by many causes, and one of them is the lack of religion comprehension and its application in daily life. One way to instill a good religion comprehension in childhood is through an active learning approach, where students learn and play, and in this case using IDO Box: Islamic Dolanan. Active learning method is quite complex so that an effective approach and appropriate environment is needed, especially in a pandemic condition. The aim of this research are to know the appropriate media in implementing IDO Box and increasing the student's religion comprehension. This research was done in Taman Pendidikan Al Quran (TPA) Anugrah, Bojongsari, Depok City, West Java. Learning media that was used in this research are learning modules, website, learning videos, and webinars that were done online. Primary data was obtained by online interviews and questionnaires. IDO Box was implemented using The House Model that was created by Horovitz and Ohlsson-Corboz (2007). The House Model concept is divided into three parts that is vision mission purpose (roof), program indicators and milestones (middle), and IDO Box program and media (cornerstone). Overall the IDObox program consisted of 10 main indicators that has been completed 100% through the activities, i.e. Quran memorizing test, Islamic stories, online assignments, online quizzes, webinars, and also parents and teachers satisfaction survey. This accomplishment is supported by pretest, posttest, and learning improvement evaluation in terms of cognitive, affective, psychomotor, and learning outcomes.

This is also experienced by housewives RW17 Babadan, Banguntapan, Bantul Regency. Family Welfare Education women help the family economy with culinary businesses. They established micro, small and medium enterprises. The first problem is that these housewives experience difficulties in selling, due to their limited movement to offer their culinary works to consumers. Second, the understanding of media literacy in using social media as a new media is still lacking and thirdly, the understanding and ability to make messages is minimal through social media. Community service methods are discussion, focuse group discussion, socialization, and media literacy training. The solution to this problem is to hold training and mentoring on understanding media literacy in carrying out sales promotion activities. In addition, by holding skills training in documenting culinary products and in packaging messages through social media. The conclusion is that community empowerment by providing promotional media literacy makes them understand the benefits of using modern communication tools and new media. In the end, they were able to take advantage of smartphones to sell their products.

Pesanggrahan village is located under Panderman mountain, Batu city. Most of its residents are farmers and ranchers and some are entrepreneurs. The most dominant numbers are farmers and cattle breeders. To accommodate the activities of farmers and breeders, the "Urip Sejahtera" Farmer Group was formed. Along with the development of increasingly advanced agriculture, the use of chemical fertilizers is increasing. This of course has a serious impact on soil conditions. So that an action is needed to find a solution to improve the nutrients in agricultural land.Vegetable waste generated from agricultural activities is an unsolved problem. The waste produced by humans consists of organic and inorganic waste. Organic waste that is produced from vegetable waste is generally thrown away and can cause an unpleasant aroma, besides that it will also trigger the growth of disease-causing microorganisms. The goal to be achieved from the training activities for making organic fertilizer from vegetable waste is to provide information, knowledge and to raise public awareness of the importance of efficient waste management, so that the people of Pesanggrahan Village, Batu City do not carelessly dispose of vegetable waste. The method applied in this activity is to present the material then carry out direct practice to make organic fertilizer. Then do an evaluation of the resulting product..Keywords: Vegetable Waste, Fermentation, Organic Fertilizer

There are many known enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methods and every method has its criteria to use it. Some of those methods are gas injection such as CO2 injection, N2 and hydrocarbon gas injection. Where the CO2 has been the largest contributor to global EOR. Gas injection can be classified into two main types; continues gas injection (CGI) and water alternating gas injection (WAG). The objective of this research is to propose initial gases injection plan of the X field to maximize the total oil recovery. The feasibility study of different gases to maintain pressure and optimize oil recovery have been examined on a simple mechanistic reservoir model of considerably depleted saturated oil reservoir. In order to maximize the total oil recovery, the simulation study was conducted on 3-phase compositional simulation model. For more optimization, a sensitivity study was conducted on the injection cycling and component ratios. A sensitivity study was also conducted on the following parameters to study their effects on the overall field’s recovery such as flow rate and bottom-hole pressure. Results obtained in this paper shows that, the WAG CO2 injection was found to be significantly more efficient than different gas injection and continues gas injection. The oil recovery depends not only on the fluid-to-fluid displacement but also on the compositional phase behavior.

Drilling optimization objective was to reduce costs, improve wellbore conditions and integrity for increasingly challenging reservoirs while establishing maximum safety performance and environmental custodianship. Even though the final result of a drilling operation is easily observed, what almost always goes unnoticed is the complexity of the issues involved in the planning and execution of a drilling operation and the number of topics involved in such a process.In this paper, as case study of the exploration drilling in Hamada region, North Africa has been evaluated. Over the period of 2006 to 2011, continued drilling improvement was achieved. Key elements in the optimization included focus on management drilling team structure, engineering well planning, improvements on managing drilling operations such as on site safety management practices, and also post drill analysis to implement lesson learn for the next well to be drilled.As the result, while drilling 26 wells during the 2006 until 2011, drilling days were successfully reduced from 87 days (first well) to the average 40 days, and very good safety record performance.

Heavy oil has characteristics such as API gravity 10-20 and high viscosity (100-10,000 cp) at reservoir temperature. Several methods have been successfully applied to produce these reserves, such as cyclic steam stimulation (CSS). Cyclic steam stimulation is a thermal injection method that aims to heat the oil around production wells. This paper presents the investigation regarding CSS application in heavy oil using Response Surface Methodology. Several scenarios were done by varying the operating conditions to obtain the most realistic results and also evaluating the factors that most influence the success of CSS process. Optimization is performed to find the maximum recovery factor (RF) value and minimum steam oil cumulative ratio (CSOR). The operating parameters used are CSS cycle, steam injection rate, and steam quality. Then statistical modeling is carried out to test the most important parameters affecting RF and CSOR for 10 years. The simulation results show that the CSS cycle, steam injection rate, and steam quality affect the RF and CSOR. The maximum RF results with the minimum CSOR were obtained at 39 cycles, an injection rate of 300 bbl/day, and a steam quality of 0.9 with an RF and CSOR value is 24.102% and 3.5129 respectively.
Sarah Scott’s Narrative “No Place”: Gazing and Utopia in Millenium Hall
Authors: Nolan Katherine
Published: June 2021

Sarah Scott’s Millenium Hall (1762) is framed by a male narrator for an imagined male reader, and it lacks a substantial critique of slavery, empire, or class; the status of this novel as an example of utopia is therefore an ongoing question. I argue that the utopic vision in the novel happens at the level of fictionality. Millenium Hall is about reforming the sentimental gaze of the male narrator and, by extension, the reader of the novel. Scott critiques sentimentality, particularly the sentimental gaze upon the spectacle of the suffering woman as voyeuristic and inherently sexual. In its stead, she offers a didactic and morally instructive form of looking that avoids titillating scenes of suffering. The novel disrupts and tempers sentimental plots by providing women characters a refuge from sentimentality in the form of the Hall. Renewed attention to Scott’s critique of the sentimental can challenge assumptions about the role of the sentimental mode in eighteenth-century women’s writings.
