Mechanical and morphological properties of bamboo mesoparticle/nylon 6 composites
Authors: Salih Abeer Adel , Zulkifli Rozli , Azhari Che Husna
Published: December 2018

The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanical properties of bamboo mesoparticle/nylon 6 composites. The challenge in this paper is that there has been very limited research done on the effect of fibre loading on the mechanical properties of natural bamboo mesoparticles as reinforcement for nylon 6 in order to reduce the cost of production while maintaining the high composite mechanical properties. The average size of the bamboo mesoparticles used was 0.25 μm. The mesoparticle/nylon 6 composites were prepared by mixing bamboo mesoparticles and nylon 6 using a laboratory blender mixer machine, followed by preparation of samples using an injection moulding machine. The fibre loadings were 9 wt.%, 13 wt.%, and 18 wt.%. The mechanical properties of the composites examined were tensile, flexural, and impact properties, while tensile fracture surfaces of the mesocomposites were examined using scanning electron microscopy. The results showed that 13 wt.% fibre loading has the best tensile strength and modulus with improvements of 15% and 25%, respectively, compared to neat nylon 6. A slight increase in the flexural strength and modulus with increasing fibre loading from 9 to 13 wt.% was observed. However, a lack of performance was observed in the impact strength of the bamboo mesoparticle/nylon 6 composites. Electron microscopic examination revealed no filler clumping aggregation and less void formation when 13 wt.% fibre loading was used, which indicates that a relatively high amount of energy was consumed to break the 13 wt.% bamboo mesoparticle/nylon 6 composites. Overall, the results indicated that the tensile and mechanical properties of bamboo mesoparticle/nylon 6 composites increased with increased fibre loadings.

Authors: Rakoczy Łukasz , Cempura Grzegorz , Kruk Adam , Czyrska-Filemonowicz Aleksandra , Zielińska-Lipiec Anna
Published: December 2018

The change of γ′ phase morphology in quenched Ni-based superalloy strengthened by γ′ precipitates was investigated by means of scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. Lattice parameters of γ and γ′ phases and subsequently the δ parameter were calculated. Relatively high content of gamma prime formers resulted in a substantially high volume fraction of precipitates in the dendrite cores. The volume fraction of γ′ phase was significantly decreased due to dissolution of precipitates in the surrounding matrix, as a result of short-term subsolidus exposure. The lattice parameter of γ′ phase was higher than that of γ phase, which results in a positive δ parameter in fully heat treated (FHT) and also FHT+ Quench conditions. For (200) and (220) reflections the γ/γ′ misfit was lower in the FHT + Q sample.
Corrosion behavior of stir-cast Al–TiB2 metal matrix composites
Authors: Poria Suswagata , Sutradhar Goutam , Sahoo Prasanta
Published: December 2018

The present study evaluates the corrosion behavior of Al–TiB2 metal matrix composites in 3.5% NaCl solution. Composites are fabricated using stir-casting with varying wt.% of TiB2. Composite surfaces are characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images. Micro-hardness values of composites are obtained using a Vicker's micro-hardness tester. The hardness of the base matrix is enhanced due to the incorporation of hard TiB2 phase. Corrosion characteristics of composites are investigated using potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements. Corrosion resistance of composites is estimated from the parameters such as corrosion potential, corrosion current, linear polarization resistance etc. Corrosion resistance of the base alloy improves due to incorporation of TiB2 but only up to a certain amount of TiB2 phase in the matrix. The composite with 1 wt.% TiB2 shows the highest corrosion resistance. Corroded surfaces are studied using SEM images that reveal localized pitting corrosion on composite surfaces.
A Radiação: Má ou Boa

Published: December 2018

A radiação electromagnética é amplamente usada na medicina quer para diagóstico quer para terapêutica. A utilização em terapêutica pressupõe a existência de efeitos biológicos nocivos os quais são criteriosamente selecionados para causar dano onde é necessário (e.g. células cancerigenas) e proteger o restante organismo. Em diagnóstico o possível dano causado pela radiação é minimizado podendo ser usada em segurança quer para os doentes quer para os profissionais de saúde. Tendo em conta esta dicotomia do bem e do mal apresentam-se as principais caracteristicas da radiação e o seu uso na cliníca.

A Mulher Como Ciência de Vida em Torno da Filosofia do Parto Humanizado
Authors: Paulino Vicente , Araújo Irta Sequeira Baris de
Published: December 2018

Neste artigo pretendemos usar a abordagem da bioética para dar o sentido filosófico ao conceito “sagrado parto” e o “parto sagrado”. O “sagrado parto” está associar-se aos elementos corporais de “homem-mulher”, mas especificamente para o conjunto de células do corpo da mulher. Enquanto o “parto sagrado” está associar-se ao processo da saída do “corpo novo” no canal da vagina da mulher, e portanto, aqui a vagina assume um papel muito importante na condução da saída do “corpo novo”, combinando com outras células sanguinas para que a viagem do “corpo novo” ao mundo se realiza com sucesso, embora a dor carregada pela mulher parturiente é bastante dolorosa.

The European identity formation in Ukraine
Authors: Kovryk-Tokar Larysa
Published: December 2018

Every nation is quite diverse in terms of his historical destiny, spiritual priorities, and cultural heritage. However, voluntary European integration, which is the final aim of political integration that began in the second half of the twentieth century from Western Europe, provided for an availability of large number of characteristics in common in political cultures of their societies. Therefore, Ukraine needs to find some common determinants that can create inextricable relationship between the European Community and Ukraine. Although Ukrainian culture is an intercultural weave of two East macrocivilizations, according to the author, Ukraine tends to Western-style society with its openness, democracy, tolerance, which constitute the basic values of Europeans.

Ukrainian Scientific Society in intellectual space late nineteenth – early twentieth century
Authors: Zaytseva Zinayida
Published: December 2018

This article examines creation of «Scientific Society named after Taras Shevchenko in Lviv» and «Ukrainian Scientific Society in Kiev». Trends of their activity witch provide joining with global academic community are discoursed. Particular attention is paid to the role of M.Hrushevskyi in establishment of scientific and academic foundations of Ukrainian scientific societies functioning. It is proved that in the XIX century science has become an almost ideological monopoly that shaped not only the natural cosmological segment of people's world outlook, but also an understanding of reality that shaped the socioeconomic and political strategies for its reform or even revolutionary transformation. It is determined that this attitude impressed the Ukrainian national intelligentsia. The conclusions note that the foundations of scientific institutions were perceived by intellectuals of oppressed nations as a means of national-cultural liberation, the positioning of their nation among civilized nations. Convincing object-object orientation of scientific publications of NTU and CNT caused their recognition by the academic world. Imperative observance of academic performance parameters by Ukrainian societies formed their functional equivalents with academies of sciences, contributed to the incorporation of these societies into the world scientific space, establishing dialogue with the culture and science of Europe. The scientific reputation of Ukrainian societies is confirmed by the membership of a number of outstanding foreign scientists in them.

National minorities political rights in the context of decentralization of power in the Eastern European countries
Authors: Kuzub Halyna
Published: December 2018

The question of political minorities rights is always crucial for European countries because of mutual history and border changes. Almost each of these countries are characterized by small groups of ethnic minorities who are living in boarding areas. Some representatives of these ethnic groups have separatistic points of view during the years. In some European countries situation becomes even more complicated because of assimilation policy which was provided by the former Soviet Union.

Decentralization is transferring of authorities to the local levels what is other serious accelerator of the questions of political minorities rights. The question of our research work is if the impact of decentralization process matches political minorities rights in Eastern Europe? In the present study we analyze the results of administrative and territorial reforms in Poland, the Czech Republic , Slovakia and we also took into consideration the impact of ethnic factor within new administrative and territorial division.

In conclusions author emphasizes that in Eastern Europe new division process mostly happened without taking into account historical areas where small groups of political minorities lived. Author also draws our attention to the possible separatism, which can be the reason of articulation of national minorities will, who live near the borders to other countries as to unite in some areas.

Gender priorities in the structure of the humanitarian component of the society development
Authors: Marusyk Tamara
Published: December 2018

In this article the author investigates the main aspects of the society humanitarian development through the prism of gender priorities. On the legislative basis of the United Nations Organization, UNESCO and EU the formation of the gender culture on the international level is interpreted. The author also pays attention to the international institution’s activity in gender problems and points out the importance of taking into consideration the world society background in this field to be used on the national level.

Analyzing the Ukrainian normative and legislative basis in the mentioned problem the peculiarity of the gender steps used in education, science and culture are shown. It is proved that the ways of state gender policy functioned in Ukraine are not always supported by state structures. Structures that haven’t made their own mechanisms of gender policy realization yet, especially in the humanitarian sphere. Moreover, the gender policy model needs more thorough working-out taking into consideration both international experience and national identity in social and economical, society and political and cultural development of the state and its citizens.

Having defined the gender stereotypes as the social norms it is proved that their spreading is a “setback” on the way of social request for gender policy formation. The steps that show the gender equality and the extension of women rights and possibilities in different spheres, first of all in the humanitarian one, are challenged with their misunderstanding both by people that might realize mentioned steps and the society in particular.

The monument to Lesya Ukrayinka as a symbol of Chernivtsi-Saskatoon universities’ fruitful collaboration
Authors: Makar Yuriy
Published: December 2018

While writing his memoir, the author highlights the root causes of Collaboration University of Saskatchewan and State University of Chernivtsi Agreement. In June, 1977 on behalf of Professor Konstiantyn Chervinskyi – the-then Rector of State University of Chernivtsi, the author had the honour to meet in Kyiv Robert Begg – the President of University of Saskatchewan. What is more, during this crucial meeting the author initiated the talks concerning further fruitful collaboration between universities.

Interestingly, the actual inter-university collaboration has started taking its shape since 1976, when a bronze statue of Lesya Ukrayinka, made in Kyiv (Ukraine in former USSR) by sculptor Halyna Kalchenko and architect Anatoliy Ihnashchenko, was unveiled at the University of Saskatchewan (Sascatoon). The monument was presented to the University by the Association for Cultural Relations with Ukrainians Abroad. Significantly, it was the Association that invited the Rector of University of Saskatchewan and his wife to pay an official visit to Ukraine. The Rector himself suggested signing the agreement with one of the universities of West Ukraine. Symbolically, State University of Chernivtsi was targeted by the Ministry of Higher and Secondary Specialized Education of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic. Of particular value were the provisions of University of Saskatchewan agreement. They supported the study of the language, culture and history of Ukraine. Furthermore, the agreement aimed at academic and cultural exchanges of faculty, scholars and students at the post-secondary level. This was unprecedented formal agreement between a North American university and a university in Ukraine.

Noteworthy, Collaboration agreement was solemnly concluded by both Rectors on June 5, 1977 in compliance with the sticking points of the Canadian part. Regrettably, the former USSR’s (Mocsow) authorities amended the agreement, excluding the point of students’ exchange program. In terms of the Canadian students, they were able to come and study at State University of Chernivtsi; our students, however, were forbidden to cross the borders of the USSR. Instead, the faculty of our university enjoyed the right to go on their sabbatical to Saskatoon. Paying the tribute to University of Saskatchewan, the author extends his gratitude to its authorities. Nevertheless, after the USSR collapse, the students of State University of Chernivtsi got an excellent opportunity to study in Canada. To conclude, the Agreement prolongs its validity. To be more precise, the Chernivtsi-Saskatoon Universities’ Collaboration Agreement will celebrate its 40th anniversary in 2017. According to the author, the agreement has quite a reasonable right to be extended.

Political Mechanisms of the Integration of Russian Nationalism into Crimea’s Political Area
Authors: Rotar Nataliia
Published: December 2018

In the article the author defined the peculiar properties and structure of the political mechanisms for the integration of Russian nationalism into Crimea’s Political Area in 1991-2014. It is proved that Russian nationalism formed a political strategy of integration into the political space of the Ukrainian autonomy on the principles of creating a manageable set of actors and subjects of the regional political process and civil space, as well as the incorporation of its agents of influence into the institutions of political power of the ARC. It is substantiated that the essence of the political component of the strategy of the activities of Russian imperial nationalism in the Crimea consisted in the creation on the basis of the Russian national minority (by status) of an independent ethno-social organism with a claim to its own state-territorial formation.

In the conclusions, the author notes that structurally, the process of using the political mechanisms for the integration of Russian nationalism in the ARC is presented in three consecutive stages. At the first stage, the political goals of Russian nationalism in the Crimea were identified, which were of an imperial nature, and therefore included the definition of key directions and a system of organizational measures that were oriented toward the political, economic, ethno-national, sociocultural and information spheres of life in the Crimean peninsula. At the second stage, the political institutes of the Russian Federation developed a system of advanced initiatives aimed at weakening the influence of the institutions of Ukraine's political power on the territory of the autonomy and a set of tactical methods that enabled them to react quickly to the actual challenges of pro-Ukrainian initiatives. At the third stage, a system of effective mechanisms of lobbying, institutional interaction, forms, methods and methods of reproducing the meanings of Russian imperial nationalism in the ARC at the level of all levels of the given social space – political, ethnonational, socio-cultural and economic – was formed.

The 13th of December 1981 in the political history of Poland: view through 35 years
Authors: Strutynsky Vladislav
Published: December 2018

By analyzing one of the most eventful periods of the modern history of Poland, the early 80s of the XX century, the author examines the dynamics of social and political conflict on the eve of the introduction of martial law, which determines the location of the leading political forces in these events in Poland, that were grouped around the Polish United Labor Party and the Independent trade union «Solidarity», their governing structures and grassroots organizations, highlighting the development of socio-political situation in the country before entering the martial law on the 13th of December and analyzing the relation of the leading countries to the events, especially the Soviet Union.

Also, the author distinguishes causes that prevent to reach the compromise in the process of realization different programs, that were offered to public and designed by PUWP and «Solidarity» and were “aimed” to help Polish society to exit an unprecedented conflict.

This article provides a comparative analysis of the different analytical meaningful reasons, offered by historians, political scientists, lawyers, and led to the imposition of martial law in the Republic of Poland. The author also analyses the legality of such actions by the state and some conclusions that were reached by scientists, investigating the internal dynamics of the conflict and the process of implementation of tasks, that Polish United Workers’ Party (which ruled at that time) tried to solve with martial law and «Solidarity» was used as self-determination in Polish society.

Gender identity as a subject of communicative politics
Authors: Tsikul Iryna
Published: December 2018

The article is devoted to the analysis of "social" and "private" and the definition of constructive mechanisms that influence the structure of society and social relations. The ratio of private and public is the main structural feature of the feminist approach to the analysis of society. The problem of public and private is especially relevant in the context of political science, because it is at the intersection of public and private life that gender identity is formed, standardized patterns of courage and femininity arise. Gender studies develop and popularize stereotypes related to gender differences, introduce them into social and political relations, and create dichotomies. Considering the public and private sphere through the prism of gender studies, we disclose the main aspects of contemporary criticism of these spheres in a theoretical and political context.

Public and private are multifaceted phenomena that can be analyzed from a variety of positions. Personal attitudes are manifested in the appearance and behavior of people, in media and political discourses, in scientific and theoretical models. They change, most often imperceptibly, the perception of both individual subjects and entire institutions. In our time, if we are talking about politics and identity on public and personal, on the theory and practice, it is necessary to take into account the real relations of power, the genesis of categories and discover the origins of inequality and discrimination.

Political transformations in the CEE post-communist countries: theoretical and metodological approaches
Authors: Burdjak Vira
Published: December 2018

Theoretical and methodological approaches to the study of political transformations in the CEE post-communist countries have been analyzed. The author argues that democratic transits do not guarantee transition to democracy and its consolidation. They are just polymorphic conversion processes from one political state to another, where the final destination is not always a democracy. They are influenced by general international factors, which allows us to consider the democratic transits, which may not consolidate into democracy, as integral components of the modern global democratic wave. Their real democratic value is not a definite variable. Political realities indicate that some of the transits proceed to illiberal democracy and hybrid regimes with different (non-) democratic features or often with versions of a new authoritarianism. In electoral democracies, only the external, formal sides of the democracy and democratic procedures are imitated, especially elections, which does not give grounds to relate these regimes to the democratic ones.

The European Union in international relations of Canada at the end of XX – beginning of XXI century
Authors: Goncharenko Anatoliy
Published: December 2018

Canada and the EU had a common vision of the fundamentals of the international relations system in the late XX – early XXI century and the need to respect the principles of international law. Canada in this matter has always acted together with other international actors on a coalition basis, accumulating defense potential.

The EU has seen in Canadians close partners who share its values and have similar approaches to resolving conflict, so there are prospects for development of bilateral cooperation in the international arena.

This was possible also due to the emergence of the Common foreign and defense policy of the EU and the implementation of important steps towards the development of European security policy and defense (ESDP). Therefore, at least a hypothetical European defense identity allows Canada to establish international cooperation with the EU in the defense sphere.

Ottawa sought to demonstrate that Europe remains important to Canadian and international security interests, so he ESDP must not lead to the destruction of traditionally close relations between Canada and the European partners. Constitutive remains also link Europe with Canada in the framework of NATO.

After the Maastricht Treaty of 1992 and the terrorist attacks of 2001, the EU is particularly interested in boosting relations with Canada. Despite the unity of views and approaches to solving most of the problems of international relations in the late XX – early XXI century between Canada and the EU, a common component in bilateral relations is still far from perfect, leaving the prospects for improving the Canadian-European cooperation on the international arena.

REPRESENTAÇÃO DA CIDADE NOS FILMES DE WOODY ALLEN
Authors: Ribeiro Roberta Do Carmo
Published: December 2018

O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar a perspectiva do cineasta norte-americano Woody Allen a respeito de sua leitura sobre a representação da cidade. Focaremos na cidade que mais apareceu em sua filmografia: Nova Iorque. Serão analisados dois momentos da história da cidade. O primeiro se refere a passagem da década de 1970 para 1980, em que temos a hipótese de que Woody Allen apresenta Nova Iorque como uma utopia urbana, contrastando com outras representações da cidade realizadas no mesmo período, nas quais ela surge como violenta e perigosa. Situação que, posteriormente, resultaria na criação do sistema da Tolerância Zero como forma de estabelecer uma higienização do ambiente urbano, expurgando os elementos indesejados. Num segundo momento tratamos da reação de Woody Allen aos atentados de 11 de setembro de 2001. Esperava-se que ele, na condição de símbolo cultural de Nova Iorque, de alguma forma incorporasse tal tema em sua visão sobre a cidade. Contudo, o cineasta praticamente ignorou a tragédia, de modo a defender que mais importante do que lamentar-se pela mesma seria o de superá-la.
Colostrum and passive immunity in newborn calves: a review
Authors: Федоров Юрий , Fedorov Yuriy , Клюкина Валентина , Klyukina Valentina , Богомолова Олеся , Bogomolova Olesya , Романенко Михаил , Romanenko Mihail
Published: December 2018

Transmission of immunoglobulins (Ig) from mother to newborns, classified as passive transmission of immunity, is a critical factor in protecting newborns from infectious diseases. Syndesmochorial structure of the cows placenta prevents the transfer of Ig from the mother to the fetus, so calves are born agammaglobulinemic, that is, without their own Ig, which they receive when consuming colostrum. Obtaining colostrum with high Ig content is the main factor of growth, development and protection of calves in the early postnatal period against pathogens in the environment. Universal media passive immunity is IgG. Violation of passive transfer of Ig leads to an increase in sickness rate and mortality and is considered as an important economic problem for industrial farming. The review discusses the current understanding of the properties, function and importance of cow colostrum in the formation of the immune status of newborn calves and their resistance to disease in the early postnatal period.

Jalan raya merupakan salah satu prasarana yang sangat penting dan sangat dibutuhkan oleh masyarakat karena jalan raya berfungsi menghubungkan sumber–sumber produksi serta berperan  memperlancarkan mobilisasi dan arus transportasi  darat  pada  daerah–daerah sekitarnya yang dapat mempermudah atau mempercepat perkembangan pembangunan baik itu infrastruktur maupun ekonomi suatu daerah. Agar jalan dapat berperan secara optimal, maka jalan harus berada pada keadaan baik, harus memenuhi kriteria konstruksi perkerasan yaitu tidak mudah aus, dan tidak terjadinya perubahan bentuk (Deformasi), sehingga dapat memberikan rasa aman dan nyaman kepada pemakai jalan.

Struktur lapis perkerasan  jalan yang sekarang banyak digunakan adalah  struktur lapis perkerasan lentur dengan campuran aspal panas yang disebut Hot Mix, salah satu jenis campuran aspal panas yang digunakan adalah Lataston atau yang lebih di kenal dengan HRS (Hot Rolled Sheet), yang didesain untuk volume lalu-lintas ringan sampai berat. Perencanaan  campuran aspal antara agregat kasar, agregat halus, filler (abu batu) dan aspal, di rancang sesuai dengan spesifikasi umum sehingga mendapatkan mutu yang diinginkan, dalam hal ini kedap air (Impermeability) dan mempunyai ketahanan terhadap gaya geser maupun menerima beban lalu- lintas.Untuk mendapatkan campuran aspal dengan karakteristik yang baik maka terlebih dahulu dibuat formula campuran kerja atau yang lebih dikenal dengan Mix Formula. Permasalahan dalam penelitian ini dapat dirumuskan Bagaimana pengaruh penggunaan nilai konstanta aspal rencana  terhadap  stabilitas pada campuran Lataston (HRS-WC). Tujuannya adalah  untuk mengetahui konstanta yang ideal terhadap stabilitas pada campuran Lataston (HRS-WC). Maanfaatnya dapat dijadikan sebagai bahan referensi Mix Design Campuran Lataston (HRS- WC) dan dapat mengetahui nilai konstanta yang baik untuk kadar aspal rencana dalam campuran Lataston (HRS-WC) dengan material  dari Quarry  Sumlili Kabupaten Kupang. Dari  hasil pengujian Marshall menunjukkan semakin besar nilai konstanta pada aspal rencana maka kadar aspal yang digunakan semakin besar. Dimana semakin besar kadar aspal yang digunakan dalam campuran mengakibatkan nilai stabilitas dan flow naik. Angka pendekatan yang dapat digunakan dalam campuran Lataston baik dari nilai 2-3 yang ideal yaitu 2, dikarenakan parameter atau sifat – sifat campuran pada konstanta 2 saling terkait atau berhubungan dimana parameter (VIM, VMA, VFA dan VIM PRD) dapat menentukan nilai kadar aspal optimum (KAO).

Banjir atau genangan di suatu kawasan terjadi apabila sistem yang berfungsi untuk menampung genangan itu tidak mampu menampung debit yang mengalir, hal ini akibat dari tiga kemungkinan yang terjadi yaitu : kapasitas sistem yang menurun, debit aliran air yang meningkat, atau kombinasi dari kedua-duanya. Perkembangan kota semakin hari semakin terus berkembang dan kebutuhan masyarakat akan ruang permukiman semakin tinggi sehingga berpengaruh terhadap ruang terbuka dan resapan air di wilayah Kota Borong. Analisis kinerja saluran drainase di kawasan wilayah Kota Borong menjadi suatu langkah penting guna mencari solusi dalam penanganan masalah banjir dan genangan yang ada.

Dari hasil identifikasi kondisi sistem drainase dan kawasan yang mengalami banjir dan genangan di Kota Borong Kabupaten Manggarai Timur terdapat 8 (delapan) titik yang menjadi prioritas penanganan yaitu kawasan pasar Borong, Pasar Borong/Terminal, depan Koramil Kota Borong, Jalan Srikaya (depan Masjid Kota Ndora),  Jalan Srikaya (depan Kantor DPRD),  Jalan Sukun (masuk dari jalan negara), Jalan Sukun (kampung bugis peji depan kios warga), Perempatan di Kampung Bugis. Hasil Analisis Kinerja sistem jaringan drainase di kawasan Kota Borong dengan berbagai kriteria diperoleh kondisi bangunan cukup. Hal ini terlihat pada persentase kondisi sistem jaringan drainase di masing-masing sub sistem, yaitu kondisi di DG1 = 63,53%, kondisi di DG2 = 66,50%, konsisi di DG3 = 69% , DG4 = 60%, DG5 = 61,25%, DG6 = 68.37%, DG7 = 53,27% dan kondisi di DG8 = 60,71%.  Analisis Penentuan skala prioritas penanganan dan penentuan daerah prioritas wilayah pasar Borong mempunyai nilai yang paling tinggi yaitu 456.25, Pasar Borong/Terminal = 421.25, Jalan Srikaya 351.25, Jalan sukun 237.5, Jalan Sukun Kampung bugis Peji 237.5 dan perempatan Kampung Bugis 237.5  dengan dilakukannya penanganan meliputi peninggian badan jalan, perbaikan kapasitas saluran dan elevasi saluran serta perlunya adanya bangunan-bangunan resapan.

Pemasangan sudu pengarah di depan sudu rotor dapat meningkatkan unjuk kerja turbin angin Savonius, karena dapat mencegah torsi negatif pada sudu cembung dan mengarahkan sejumlah massa udara pada sudu cekung tanpa mengenai sudu cembung. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode eksperimental nyata (true experimental) pada skala laboratorium. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa coefficient of power meningkat secara parabolik seiring bertambahnya kecepatan angin sehingga pada kecepatan 6 dan 7 m/s mengalami penurunan. Hal ini terjadi karena meningkatnya kecepatan angin yang tidak diimbangi dengan kenaikan daya poros dan torsi. Pada rotor dengan pemasangan sudu pengarah coefficient of power maksimum terjadi pada rotor tiga sudu sebesar 0,2314, rotor dua sudu sebesar 0,1825, rotor empat sudu sebesar 0,12006. Di mana coefficient of power tertinggi ini terjadi pada kecepatan angin 5 m/s kecuali rotor empat sudu. Sedangkan pada rotor tanpa pemasangan sudu pengarah coefficient of power maksimum juga terjadi pada rotor tiga sudu sebesar 0,18667, rotor dua sudu sebesar 0,1541 dan rotor empat sudu sebesar 0,0776. Coeficient of power maksimum pada rotor tiga dan dua sudu terjadi pada kecepatan angin 6 m/s, sedangkan rotor empat sudu coefficient of power maksimum terjadi pada kecepatan angin 7 m/s.

Bentuk penelitian dan kajian ini merupakan studi kasus dengan mengambil lokasi pada DAS Dendeng Kupang Provinsi Nusa Tenggara Timur. Daerah ini memiliki angin beriklim tropis dan kering yang dipengaruhi oleh angin muson dengan suhu udara rata-rata 22,90oC – 32,17oC,dengan musim hujan yang pendek, bulan Nopember - Januari atau bulan Desember - Februari, suhu udara 22,90oC – 32,17oC. Musim kering bulan April – Oktober, suhu 29,10 C – 33,40 C, curah hujan yang terjadi hanya 3 (tiga) bulan, yaitu berkisar bulan Nopember - Januari atau bulan Desember - Februari, dengan jumlah hari hujan berkisar 40 – 110 hari pertahun dan musim kemarau cukup panjang, yaitu 8 – 9 bulan mewarnai ciri kawasan ini. Topografi wilayah studi mempunyai tingkat kemiringan lahan 0 - 30 % dan sebagian kecil kemiringan lahan antara 3 - 8%. Das Oesapa Besarendeng termasuk dalam DAS Benain Noelmina yang menjadi wilayah BPDAS Kupang memiliki luas 4535 ha termasuk prioritas pertama, karena wilayah tersebut mengalami erosi ringan yang sangat luas. Seiring dengan terjadinya perubahan tataguna lahan dari tahun ke tahun, mengakibatkan potensi kerusakan lahan semakin meningkat, untuk itu perlunya dikendalikan dan di rehabilitasi. Adanya permasalahan tersebut di atas diperlukan kajian penataan ruang berbasis konservasi tanah dan air, sehingga diperoleh petunjuk arahan penggunaan lahan, rehabilitasi dan konservasi tanah dengan kemampuan lahan dan fungsi kawasan di DAS Dendeng Kota Kupang. Mengingat sangat kompleksnya erosi dan limpasan permukaan pada DAS Dendeng kota Kupang, perlu adanya alat bantu untuk manganalisa dengan bantuan Sistem Informasi Geografis (SIG) AVSWAT 2000. Sesuai hasil arahan dan analisis laju erosi dan sedimentasi pada Das Oesapa Besar terdapat 5 penempatan bangunan pengendali sedimen ( Check dam ) yang harus di bangun pada koordinat : x = 571183,79 , y = 8867289,22, x = 571389,17 , y = 8874937,98, x = 569016,64, y = 8873316,16, x = 5713779,97, y = 8873107,74 dan x = 571313,85, y = 88669422,77. Dengan di bangunnya bangunan pengendali tersebut bisa mengurangi laju erosi dan sedimentasi pada Das Oesapa Besar sebesar 420,38 ton/ha/tahun.
