Published: January 2024

Pemisahan anomali regional dan residual adalah hal yang harus dilakukan dalam pengolahan data yang berhubungan dengan geologi bawah permukaan. Tidak ada ketentuan khusus tentang metode terbaik yang harus digunakan dalam pemisahan anomali, karena pemisahan anomali bersifat subjektif. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi struktur bawah permukaan pada daerah Kepulauan Mentawai dengan menggunakan persebaran nilai anomali.Dalam penelitian ini, metode yang digunakan adalah metode moving average, upward continuation dan polynomial untuk menginterpretasikan kontur anomali regional dan residual Kepulauan Mentawai. Hasil dari ketiga metode tersebut menunjukkan bahwa upward continuation mencerminkan anomali regional dan residual Kepulauan Mentawai lebih baik dibandingkan metode moving average dan polynomial, karena pada upward continuation memiliki kontur dan nilai anomali mendekati kontur dan nilai anomali BouguerÂ  Â lengkap dan kontur struktur geologi. Sebaran nilai anomali yang rendah berada pada sekitar wilayah Padang, Pulau Siberut, Pulau Sipora dan Pulau Pagai, sehingga diidentifikasi wilayah tersebut memiliki struktur bawah permukaan dengan nilai massa jenis yang rendah. Sedangkan anomali sedang berada pada laut dangkal yang diidentifikasi memiliki massa jenis yang sedang, dan anomali tinggi berada pada laut dalam di sekitar wilayah Indian Ocean diidentifikasi memiliki massa jenis yang tinggi.

Pemanfaatan radiasi sinar-X dalam instalasi radiologi memiliki dampak posistif dan negatif. Dampak negative paparan radiasi sinar-X dapat dikurangi dengan cara menggunakan lead apron. Penelitian bertujuan untuk mengetahui luas kerusakan sebagai penentu kelayakan lead apron dan mengevaluasi efektivitas lead apron dalam memberikan perlindungan yang memadai. Evaluasi kelayakan dan efektivitas dilakukan terhadap 5 lead apron milik Rumah Sakit Universitas Andalas. Metode evaluasi kelayakan dilakukan dengan membagi lead apron menjadi 4 kuadran, lalu dilakukan penyinaran menggunakan pesawat sinar-X konvensional dengan faktor eksposi 58,5 kV dan 8 mAs. Hasil penyinaran diolah menggunakan computed radiography (CR) untuk mengukur luas kerusakan pada lead apron. Efektivitas lead apron dievaluasi menggunakan dosimeter OSL yang ditempatkan di bagian atas dan dalam lead apron, kemudian dilakukan penyinaran dengan faktor eksposi 102 kV dan 2,5 mAs. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kerusakan tidak melebihi batas toleransi yang disarankan Lambert dan McKeon, dimana lead apron dinyatakan layak apabila kerusakan <670 mm2 pada area kurang sensitif dan <15 mm2 pada area sensitif, sedangkan efektivitas lead apron berkisar antara (94,5-98,2) %. Berdasarkan hasil evaluasi diperoleh bahwa lead apron masih layak digunakan dan efektif dalam memberikan perlindungan terhadap radiasi sinar-X kepada pekerja radiasi, pasien maupun keluarga pasien.

Telah dilakukan sintesis dan karakterisasi keramik kordierit dengan menggunakan silika dari abu sekam padi. Tujuan penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui penambahan massa silika dan suhu pembakaran terhadap kerakteristik keramik kordierit dari abu sekam padi. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan pembentukan silika dilakukan dengan pembakaran sekam padi pada suhu 700 Â°C selama 3 jam dengan penambahan NaOH 4M untuk membentuk silika gel. Sintesis keramik kordierit perbandingan massa 14% Magnesium oksida, 35% Alumina, dan 51% Silika dari abu sekam padi dangan metode solid state dengan pemanasan pada suhu (700, 800 dan 900) Â°C. Karakteristik sampel dilakukan menggunakan uji XRD dan untuk mengetahui nilai kekerasan digunakan microhardness tester. Selain itu dilakukan analisis sifat fisis kordierit meliputi pengukuran susut bakar, densitas dan porositas. Nilai susut bakar dan densitas mengalami kenaikan seiring dengan penambahan massa silika dan suhu pembakaran, kecuali pada suhu 700 Â°C dengan penambahan 10% silika nilai susut bakar menurun dan pada suhu 900 Â°C dengan penambahan 10% silika nilai densitas juga menurun. Penambahan massa silika dan kenaikan suhu pembakaran membuat nilai porositas semakin meningkat kecuali pada suhu 900 Â°C dengan penambahan 15% silika mengalami penurunan sebesar 20,65 %. Penambahan silika menurunkan nilai kekerasan keramik kordierit, sehingga dengan meningkatnya suhu kalsinasi maka nilai kekerasan juga menurun, kecuali pada sampel tanpa silika pada suhu 800Â°C. Berdasarkan hasil XRD tanpa penambahan silika pada suhu 700 Â°C diperoleh ukuran kristal sebesar 108,58 nm, dan pada suhu 900 Â°C dengan penambahan 10% silika sebesar 374,74 nm.

Bayesian Reliability Analysis of the Enhanced Multimission Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator
Authors: Lee Chung H. , Caillat Thierry , Pinkowski Stanley
Published: January 2024

Radioisotope thermoelectric generators (RTGs) have been used as power sources for several space missions, including the multimission RTG (MMRTG) in NASA’s recent Mars Curiosity and Perseverance rovers. The enhanced MMRTG (eMMRTG) design is an MMRTG retrofitted with advanced skutterudite thermoelectric couples to improve efficiency and power output over time. The eMMRTG’s predicted reliability over the mission duration is influenced by the uncertainty in the physics parameters governing its performance. We use a Bayesian approach to account for two types of uncertainty: epistemic and aleatory. The reliability analysis has two steps: 1) uncertainty quantification from experimental data for key physics parameters, and 2) uncertainty propagation through a computational RTG life performance prediction. In particular, we use hierarchical models to separate specimen-to-specimen uncertainty and also to model the separate manufacturing batches of thermoelectric couples loaded into the eMMRTG. We use a secondary probability method to predict reliability with epistemic uncertainty intervals for the eMMRTG system at 10,000 h for which recent data are available. We show how reliability and uncertainty intervals depend on hypothetical power requirements at 10,000 h. The approach is generally applicable when experimental data and computer simulation are used to predict the reliability of a new technology.
Numerical Investigation of Low-Noise Landing Conditions for Multirotor Urban Air Mobility Vehicle
Authors: Cho Huisang , Ko Jeongwoo , Jeong Jaeheon , Lee Soogab
Published: January 2024

A preliminary investigation of the noise abatement landing approach for the multirotor urban air mobility (UAM) vehicle is carried out using the comprehensive multirotor noise assessment (CONA) framework. The key objectives are to identify the low-noise landing condition of multirotor UAM vehicles to reduce ground noise impact near the landing zone. The CONA framework, developed by our research team, has the capability of trajectory-based noise prediction for RPM-controlled multirotor configurations. It uses the parameterized Beddoes wake model with regression analysis to consider the aerodynamic interaction. The noise impact over a wide range of landing conditions is illustrated for the quadrotor UAM vehicle. Three landing conditions are highlighted: vertical descent, high-noise condition, and low-noise condition. The result shows that the low-noise condition avoids intense aerodynamic interaction and reduces the tip Mach number with a high flight path angle and forward speed. This condition can significantly reduce the area affected by UAM noise. In summary, the noise abatement landing approach has a significant noise reduction in the multirotor UAM vehicle, and the landing approach should be designed by considering landing conditions and UAM configurations.

Authors:   The Korea Association Of Primary English Education, Park Hui-won
Published: January 2024

For future industrial transformation and job structure reform, 2015 and 2022 revised curricula was established as competency-based curriculum. To enhance competencies effectively in the English classroom, content-language integrated learning (CLIL) was presented. CLIL is supposed to achieve both subjects(coding education) and language(English) goals that share the main information processing competency in an integrated approach. The purpose of this study is to adapt CLIL with coding theme. The CLIL model (the 4Cs Framework) that focused on EFL students in previous studies (Kim & Heo, 2020) was applied as a method of teaching coding. Specifically, the framework of content, communication language, cognition, and culture was described in detail as codes, computational thinking, English commands, higher-order and lower-order thinking, learning motivation, and interest. To elaborate the instruction, the 17th lessons of coding-English integrated class templates following the 4C components and support was suggested. As a result of the experimental class, learners who took the CLIL class had a positive change in English writing fluency, and they improved their coding problem-solving ability and interests. This study implies to show reality in CLIL classes and demonstrate the implementation of content-language integrated classes in the field by describing examples of the CLIL approach based on coding theme.

Authors:   The Korea Association Of Primary English Education, Lee Young-A
Published: January 2024

This study aimed to analyze major changes in the 2022 Revised Elementary English Curriculum, identify the challenges that in-service teachers might encounter in its implementation, and explore ways to address these challenges. To accomplish this, the curriculum document was examined for changes in its overall structure as well as for detailed changes in four major components to identify the main direction of the revision. Subsequently, to identify any implementation challenges, this study conducted a content analysis of opinion documents from in-service teachers collected during the curriculum development process, along with related research reports and journal articles. The major changes in the new curriculum can be broadly summarized as follows: 1) the notion of a competency-based curriculum was fully realized, with subject competencies explicitly presented, and a framework of learning contents and achievement standards aligned with them; 2) in order to strengthen basic literacy education, the achievement standards for grades 3-4 were adjusted upwards, and the continuity between grade groups was enhanced; 3) there was an emphasis on the use of various educational technologies and artificial intelligence in teaching and assessment, as well as individually tailored learning and assessment. In relation to these changes, three implementation issues emerged from the content analysis: difficulties with teaching and assessing competencies, particularly regarding strategies, attitudes, and values; interpreting and applying the revised achievement standards; and dealing with an increased level of written language in grades 3-4 and providing support for struggling learners.

Authors: Bagha Zaheer , Ayo-Olagunju Tochukwu , Feyisara Kehinde , Obiefuna Adaobi Genevieve , Mortimer Kevin , Semple Sean
Published: January 2024

Objectives:

Climate change is a worldwide public health emergency, and traveling by plane results in the emission of carbon dioxide (CO2), which plays a major role in global warming. This study sought to measure the flight-related carbon footprint of the Pan African Thoracic Society (PATS) Methods in Epidemiological, Clinical, and Organizational Research (MECOR) 2023 course. It looked at whether providing feedback on emission information to attendees would affect their attitudes about flight choices.

Materials and Methods:

We conducted a cross-sectional descriptive study at the PATS MECOR 2023 training program whereby the flight itineraries of all attendees were used to estimate the total carbon emission for each participant’s return journey to Mombasa, Kenya, using the Google Flight tool. An electronic survey was conducted on consecutive days to measure the knowledge, attitude, and practices of respondents before and after feedback on the aggregated emissions estimate.

Results:

The estimated total flight-related emissions of the 80 attendees were 57 tonnes of CO2. The primary determinant of choice of flight among most respondents was cost, and the least important was carbon emission. Only 22% of respondents correctly estimated that the total carbon footprint exceeded 30 tonnes. The proportion of attendees prepared to offset their carbon footprint increased from 54% to 73% before and after being informed of the delegates’ estimated CO2 emissions, but the change was not statistically significant (P = 0.07).

Conclusion:

Hosting a major international conference produces a carbon footprint, which, if measured and shared with funders, organizers, and attendees, can help inform the debate about how to reduce and mitigate this important contributor to global climate change.
Anthropology of the private world in N. V. Gogol’s Little Russian novels about modernity
Authors: Bashkeeva V. V.
Published: January 2024

The relevance of the article is connected with the application of the method of literary anthropology, the study of anthropological forms, for the first time undertaken to a set of N. V. Gogol's Little Russian novels about modernity: "Ivan Fyodorovich Shponka and His Auntie", "The Old World Landlords", "The Tale of How Ivan Ivanovich Quarreled with Ivan Nikiforovich". The problematic question is how a special narrator and a special world are related. The aims and objectives are connected to the analysis of the narrator's image and images of the characters primarily from the verbal portrait’s point of view, which makes it possible to cover important aspects of the writer's humanistic vision. The emphasis is on how the particular narrator creates a private world with all its subjects and details. The peculiarities of the narrator's image are considered as immersed in everyday life and material things, close to an ordinary common man of Mirgorod. The question is raised about the complication of this image, which, however, did not lead to the wholeness and completeness of the image. The private world created by the special narrator is dominated by special laws that determine the portrayal of the characters. The destruction of the boundaries between human and non-human, external and internal, philistine and divine, leads to the destruction of the world’s hierarchical structure. Another consequence of this is the likening of everything to everything else, the tendency to depict the mass, the similar, the echoing, including the accentuation of imaginary pairing. The singular tends to pairing, the paired tends to the mass-shaped. The destruction of the boundaries between the external and the internal leads to the dominance of corporeality, regardless of whether man is shown as flesh or as form. One can speak of Gogol's dominance of the face over the countenance (Florensky), the dismemberment of the body into parts, the autonomisation and independent life of these parts. An excessive importance is given to the character's costume, which can replace the hero. The traditional description is replaced by an expressive representation of the hero in two variants: representation-in-general and representation-in-the-moment.
Photoluminescent detection of lead dust in gunshot residue

Published: January 2024

Gunshot residue (GSR) analysis is essential for the forensic investigation of shooting incidents, but oftentimes still slow, cumbersome, and with limited spatial resolution. We here introduce a photoluminescent gunshot residue analysis (PL-Pb) for instant spatially resolved detection of GSR with high resolution. Lead dust in GSR reacts into a lead halide perovskite semiconductor that emits bright green light under ultraviolet irradiation. The sensitivity of PL-Pb enables straightforward detection of trace amounts of GSR from ricochet markings, bullet holes and combustion plumes. We show that GSR is transferable with high spatial resolution and preservation of fine details such as the polygonal patterns caused by the rifling of the pistol. Moreover, PL-Pb detection yields reproducible GSR patterns for shooting distance reconstruction series. We also show that the sensitivity and instant results make PL-Pb suitable for rapid presumptive testing of shooting suspects. Surprisingly, even after washing, we can still detect GSR on the hands of shooters, and we find GSR in a simple and straightforward manner on clothes, shoes, and other objects relevant to a shooting incident. Collectively, the instant results and sensitivity of PL-Pb opens unprecedented opportunities for (on-site) forensic investigations and highlights the potential of perovskite-based lead detection methods for lead containing, crime related micro-traces and lead dust in general.

Stroke is damage to brain tissue due to disruption of blood flow to the brain. One impact in stroke patients is weakness on one side of the body or hemiparesis. The management of stroke includes physical rehabilitation. However, many post-stroke patients still do not comply with physical rehabilitation, so education is needed about the importance of complying with physical rehabilitation to accelerate recovery and restore movement function in post-stroke patients. The purpose of this study is to develop Stroke Care Education and analyze its effectiveness on adherence to physical rehabilitation in post-stroke patients. The design of this study used Research and Development (R&D) and a quasy experiment with a pretest-posttest control group design which was carried out for 21 days. The sampling technique used purposive sampling which consisted of 60 respondents who were divided into the intervention and control groups. The intervention group was given YouTube-based Stroke Care Education twice a day (20 minutes), while the control group was given a leaflet. The measurement method used a level of adherence questionnaire, namely the Morinsky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS) with low, medium, and high measurement values. The data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test and the Mann-Whitney test. The results of this study YouTube-based Stroke Care Education is suitable for use for post-stroke patients with a validity test result value of 87.5%. The statistical test results showed an increase in adherence to physical rehabilitation in the intervention group compared to the control group, from an average score of 4.40 to 7.57. Meanwhile, in the control group, it increased from 3.77 to 4.23 with a value of p = 0.000.
