STU merupakan perusahaan pembuatan produk yang berbahan dasar logam. Kondisi tata letak saat ini pada lantai produksi perusahaan belum sesuai dengan aliran bahan, sehingga mengakibatkan terjadinya arus bolak-balik dan gerakan menyilang. Dengan adanya arus bolak-balik tersebut mengakibatkan jarak yang ditempuh selama proses produksi menjadi jauh, sebesar 125.424,8 meter dengan OMH (Ongkos Material Handling) sebesar Rp 104.851.262 pada periode Februari 2017 – Maret 2018. Permasalahan tersebut dapat diselesaikan dengan perancangan ulang tata letak awal yang disesuaikan dengan aliran bahan dengan menggunakan metode Systematic Layout Planning (SLP) ditambah dengan modifikasi berdasarkan batasan yang terdapat pada lantai produksi. Dari hasil perancangan terdapat 3 alternatif usulan tata letak yang terbentuk. Ketiga alternatif tersebut kemudian dievaluasi berdasarkan total jarak tempuh dan ongkos material handling. Dari hasil evaluasi didapatkan bahwa alternatif ke-3 memiliki total jarak tempuh dan OMH lebih kecil, sehingga alternatif ke-3 dipilih sebagai tata letak usulan. Hasil tata letak usulan ini memiliki aliran bahan yang lebih baik karena jarak tempuh yang diakibatkan oleh arus bolak-balik (back tracking) menjadi lebih pendek dan gerakan menyilang berkurang sebesar 58,82%. Selain itu, total jarak tempuh yang terjadi pada tata letak usulan 43,05% lebih kecil, dan OMH 30,97% lebih kecil dibandingkan dengan tata letak awal.

Child workers arean important issue related to the human right for children. The right of a child who works is taken when she works for the parent’s interest. The issue of child workers is not only caused by the child but also by the external factors of herself. Social environment influence has a strong effect to the child’s decision to enter into labor force.To attain such goal, empowerment approach is used based on the assumption that child workersbecome problematic whenshe has no capacity to self-organize (self-organization) and defend her rights and interests. Programs related to welfare, aid support, rule-making, and direct service to society,in essence are perceived as human actions aimed at helping a group of people who are less fortune, to gain social function, particularly for child workers.Data analyses are descriptive and qualitative. Research result showed thataid support program for child workers in Bandung is done through prevention, rehabilitation and empowerment which involved stakeholders fromagency, government institution and private party as well as society in Bandung. They have participated in the effort to abolish child labor, but they need to improve the coordination comprehensively.

Published: November 2019

Considering the global tendency in water saving, this research is focused on practical measurements of even distribution of water. The performance quality is determined by values of coefficients of distribution uniformity and non-uniformity given in percentages. Objects of investigation were belt irrigators with varying input conditions (seven pieces). Testing of hose-reel irrigators took place in Southern and Western Slovakia. Tests were carried out during irrigation of selected agricultural crops (potatoes, vegetables); in these areas, rainwater vessels were distributed at a spacing of 1 or 2 m, perpendicular to the direction of movement of the bracket or tripod with a gun sprinkler. The input conditions, such as machine specifications and weather conditions, were monitored and evaluated for all variants. The data were also analysed along with the linear model through statistical analysis software – one-way analysis of variance ANOVA. Considering the results, it is possible to conclude that there were recorded statistically significant differences for uniformity coefficients, depending not only on the site but also on the specific evaluation methodology (P > 0.05). If the input conditions (site, type of irrigator, sprinkler) were changed, the effect of dependence was demonstrated to a much greater extent (P <0.05, F = 7.08> Fcrit
). The results of the non-uniformity coefficients confirmed the statistically significant differences not only in the sample sets of coefficients but also in the selection sets of conditions.
Pelvic floor muscles after birth: Do unstable shoes have an effect on pelvic floor activity and can this be measured reliably? – A feasibility study / Der Beckenboden nach der Geburt: Verändern instabile Schuhe die Aktivität und kann diese reliabel gemessen werden? – Eine Machbarkeitsstudie
Authors: Graf Eveline , Borner Barbara , Pehlke Jessica
Published: November 2019

Background

Women often suffer from urinary incontinence after childbirth. Pelvic floor muscle training is an evidenced-based intervention to prevent urinary incontinence and improve its symptoms

Aim

The primary purpose of this study was to determine if there is a change in the activation of the pelvic floor muscles with different extrinsic parameters (barefoot versus unstable shoe). Second, we wanted to define variables that can be measured reliably and correlated with pelvic floor activity.

Methods

Data of 15 women who were 8 weeks to 6 months postpartum were analyzed. Two conditions (“barefoot” and “kyBoot”) were tested, with each participant performing three different tasks: walking, standing with an active pelvic floor, and standing with a passive pelvic floor. Three-dimensional kinematics of the body were recorded. Activity of the abdominal, back, and gluteal muscles was measured using surface electromyography (EMG). The activity of the pelvic floor was recorded using a vaginal electrode. Maximum pelvic floor activity was compared for each condition, and correlations among pelvic floor activity, kinematic variables, and skeletal muscle activity were determined.

Results

The maximum activity of the pelvic floor while walking was significantly higher when participants were barefoot than when they were wearing kyBoot shoes. For the standing trials, no significant differences between the conditions were detected. No surrogate marker was found to measure the pelvic floor activity.

Conclusion

With regard to the pelvic floor musculature, no recommendation is possible in favor of or against wearing unstable shoes. Technical developments are necessary to provide solutions to reliably measure the pelvic floor activity.

Published: November 2019

Atherosclerosis is a slow, progressive disease, its most common manifestation and most severe consequence being coronary artery disease, one of the main causes of mortality and morbidity worldwide. The vast majority of cardiovascular deaths are caused by complications of atherosclerosis, most often being represented by the rupture of an unstable coronary plaque, regularly triggered by inflammation. A vulnerable plaque is characterized by a large, lipid-rich necrotic core, a thin fibrous cap with macrophage infiltration, and the presence of multiple specific biomarkers such as positive remodeling, irregular calcifications, and low attenuation visible with coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA). Identifying biomarkers that could predict the risk of plaque rupture with high accuracy would be a significant advance in predicting acute cardiac events in asymptomatic patients, furthermore guiding treatment of patients with this disease. The main indication of noninvasive imaging is to identify patients at risk based on the presence or absence of symptoms that can be related to myocardial ischemia. The diagnostic objective is to confirm or to exclude the presence of coronary plaques. Coronary imaging in asymptomatic individuals is used to estimate the risk of future cardiac events through the identification of non-obstructive high-risk plaques. The possibility to monitor the evolution of vulnerable plaques via noninvasive imaging techniques, prior to the occurrence of an acute clinical event, is the main goal in plaque imaging. This manuscript will be focusing on recent advances of noninvasive imaging of vulnerable coronary plaques.

Published: November 2019

Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is a reliable screening method of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). CCTA is capable to assess both coronary stenosis and plaque morphology, but does not provide hemodynamic characterization of the coronary lesions. However, the severity of coronary stenosis does not always reflect the hemodynamic significance of the plaque. Invasive fractional flow reserve (FFR) is considered the gold standard for the functional evaluation of a potential ischemia-causing stenosis. FFR derived from CCTA (FFR-CT) is a new noninvasive diagnostic tool, using a typically acquired CCTA, without the need for any further radiation or medication. Additional functional assessment of the coronary lesions permits a more complex characterization of CAD patients. Based on the FFR-CT examination, patients who need invasive coronary intervention can be selected more precisely, and a more personalized and optimized treatment can be provided.

Authors: Ezzaki Naima , Stoica Daniel , Rece Laurentiu , Modrea Arina
Published: November 2019

This article aims to highlight, through a comparative study, the efficiency of steel bracing systems used to reduce seismic vulnerabilities in existing buildings with reinforced concrete structures (reinforced concrete frames and reinforced concrete dual structures, general building structures including those used in transport infrastructure). In order to simplify the calculations, the analysis was reduced to the study of the behavior of resistance lines corresponding to four-, nine- and fifteen-level buildings with the same plane distribution. In order to obtain features similar to those of existing building elements, structures were initially loaded with seismic forces corresponding to code P13-63. The next step was to apply to previously dimensioned structures the seismic loads according to P100-3: 2008 in relation to P100-1: 2013, thus obtaining the deficiencies of the existing structures against the requirements of these norms. Correction of these strength and stiffness deficiencies was attempted by introducing X-shaped centric brace systems. The bracing systems used as consolidation methods are of three types: direct bracings stuck in the reinforced concrete frames and bracings of the indirect type, made of internal and external bracing steel frames. Structural calculations were made in the linear elastic field using the ETABS program.

Introduction. Lichen planus is a chronic inflammatory skin disease known to have several clinical variants with attended variable clinical outcomes. Certain complications have been observed in the hypertrophic type, which were not found in association with the classic variant.

Objective: To identify the epidemiologic and clinical differences between the classic and hypertrophic lichen planus and clinical correlates.

Material and Methods. Of 104 participants with lichen planus included in the study, 49 had classic and 55 hypertrophic lichen planus. Demographic and clinical information was obtained. Diagnosis of lichen planus was made clinically and confirmed with histology. The participants were screened for metabolic syndrome, hepatitis B, and C.

Results: Mean age of all patients was 37.20±13.39 years, with no age and gender differences between the participants with classic and hypertrophic lichen planus. Classic lichen planus was more likely to be painful, (8.2% vs 0.0, p=0.046), generalized (95.9% vs 16.4%, p<0.001), involve the oral mucosa (38.8% vs 0.0, p<0.001), the nails (38.8% vs 1.8, p<0.001), present with kobnerisation (55.1% vs 5.5%,<0.001), Wickhiam striae (69.4% vs 16.4%, p<0.001), associated with Hepatitis B vaccination (16.3% vs 3.6%, p<0.028) and anti HCV positivity (16.3% vs 0.0%, p=0.002). Hypertrophic lichen planus was significantly associated with impaired glucose tolerance/diabetes mellitus (16.4% vs 2.0%, p=0.013), dyslipidemia (74.5% vs 40.8%, p=0.001) and saw-tooth histologic appearance compared to classic type.

Conclusion: Hypertrophic lichen planus is more likely to be associated with metabolic complications compared to the classic type. Further studies are needed to loink this difference t chronic inflamation.

Phytocannabinoids, molecules isolated from cannabis, are gaining attention as promising leads in modern medicine, including pain management. Considering the urgent need for combating the opioid crisis, new directions for the design of cannabinoid-inspired analgesics are of immediate interest. In this regard, we have hypothesized that axially-chiral-cannabinols (ax-CBNs), unnatural (and unknown) isomers of cannabinol (CBN) may be valuable scaffolds for cannabinoid-inspired drug discovery. There are multiple reasons for thinking this: (a) ax-CBNs would have ground-state three-dimensionality akin to THC, a key bioactive component of cannabis, (b) ax-CBNs at their core structure are biaryl molecules, generally attractive platforms for pharmaceutical development due to their ease of functionalization and stability, and (c) atropisomerism with respect to phytocannabinoids is unexplored “chemical space.” Herein we report a scalable total synthesis of ax-CBNs, examine physical properties experimentally and computationally, and provide preliminary behavioral and analgesic analysis of the novel scaffolds.

Published: November 2019

Here we investigate the use of 3D printed graphene/PLA electrodes for quantifying trace amounts of Hg, Pb, and Cd. We prepared cylindrical electrodes by sealing a 600 µm diameter graphene/PLA filament in a pipette tip filled with epoxy. We characterized the electrodes using scanning electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and cyclic voltammetry in ferrocene methanol. The physical characterization showed a significant amount of disorder in the carbon structure and the electrochemical characterization showed quasi-reversible behavior without any electrode pretreatment. We then used unmodified graphene/PLA electrode to quantify Hg, and Pb and Cd in 0.01 M HCl and 0.1 M acetate buffer using square wave anodic stripping voltammetry. We were able to quantify Hg with a limit of detection (LOD) of 6.1 nM (1.2 ppb), but Pb and Cd did not present measurable peaks at concentrations below ~400 nM. We improved the LODs for Pb and Cd by depositing Bi microparticles on the graphene/PLA and, after optimization, achieved clear stripping peaks at the 20 nM level for both ions (4.1 and 2.2 ppb for Pb2+ and Cd2+, respectively). The results obtained for all three metals allowed quantification below the EPA action limits in drinking water.

Information about the solid-state properties of etifoxine has been lacking, even if the active pharmaceutical ingredient has been used for its anxiolytic properties for decennia. The crystal structure of the racemic compound possesses a monoclinic space group P21/n with cell parameters a = 8.489(2) Å, b = 17.674(2) Å, c = 20.883(3) Å, b = 98.860(10)° and a unit-cell volume of 3095.8(9) Å3 at 293 K. The unit cell contains 8 molecules, while 2 independent molecules with different conformations are present in the asymmetric unit. The density of the crystal is 1.291 g/cm3 and its melting point was found at 362.6 ±0.3 K with a melting enthalpy of 85.6 ±3.0 J g-1. Its thermal expansion in the liquid and the solid state and the change in volume on melting and between the vitreous state and the crystalline solid have been studied. The results confirm the tendency of small organic molecules to increase about 11% in volume on melting, while the volume difference between the glass and the crystal at the glass transition temperature is about half this value at 6%. These values can be used in the construction of phase diagrams in the case that the experimental data for a given system is incomplete.

A LITERATURE REVIEW ON CHANGE MANAGEMENT IN SECURITY ORGANIZATIONS
Authors: ERCİYES Erdem
Published: November 2019

This study aims to
investigate change management implementations in security organizations through
a literature review and to develop a holistic perspective on change management
for security organizations. In order to reach this aim, the researcher discusses
reflections of change perception, efforts to understand change management
process and leadership impact on change management. One of the findings of the
research demonstrates that while military organizations mostly focused on
transformation and innovation in the change management process, police
organizations’ focal point was mainly about reform process. Change management
models are not packet programs that can be implemented to all kinds of
organizations and situations as every institution has a different character,
dynamics, sources of manpower, and aims. Therefore, each attempt at change must
be considered according to the special attributes of each organization, such as
culture, dynamics, structure, characteristics and vision. Herein,
organizational culture plays one of the most important roles in the success of
change management in security organizations. In addition, officials and
managers of security organizations should increase their awareness towards
change management. Future
studies may establish a change management model for security organizations via
primary data sources or develop practical recommendations how to provide
awareness of the followers towards change management in the security
organizations.
SAVUNMA ALIMLARININ ÜLKE KALKINMASINA ETKİSİ VE ROLÜ
Authors: KORKMAZ Göksel , TOPÇU Mustafa Kemal
Published: November 2019

Kamu harcamalarının önemli bir unsuru olan

savunma alımları; yerli ve milli sistemlere ihtiyaç duyulması, teknolojik

altyapı gereksinimi, sektörde istihdam edilenlerin güvenlik gereksinimleri,

üretim hattının sürdürülmesinde ihracata duyulan ihtiyaç, temel tedarikçinin

devlet olması gibi özellikleriyle diğer kamu alımlarından ayrışmaktadır. Ancak

savunma harcamalarının ülke kalkınmasına etkisi diğer alanlarda olduğu gibi talep

veya arz yönlü ekonomik modeller ile tespit edilmektedir. Hâlbuki savunma

alımlarının ülke kalkınmasına etkisi; yarattığı istihdam, ihracat rakamlarına

etkisi, Ar-Ge ve teknolojik altyapıya katkısı bağlamında değerlendirilmelidir.

Savunma alımları ülkenin teknolojik gelişmişliğine bağlı olarak ekonomiyi

olumlu veya olumsuz etkilemektedir. Teknolojik sahiplik düzeyi arttıkça savunma

alımlarının ekonomiye olumlu yansımaları çoğalmaktadır. Diğer taraftan, savunma

tedarik sürelerinin uzaması ise olumlu etkilerin yansımasını geciktirmektedir.

Bu nedenle milli sanayinin gelişmesi ülkelerin sürekli gündeminde yer almaktadır.

Bu doğrultuda sivil ve askeri amaçlı kullanılabilecek dual teknolojilere

ağırlık verilmesi savunma sanayi şirketlerinin rekabet koşullarında

faaliyetlerini sürdürmeleri açısından son derece önemlidir. Bu çerçevede, bu

çalışmada savunma alımlarının ülke kalkınmasındaki rolü savunma tedarik

strateji ve yöntemleri kapsamında ele alınmakta ve bir kısım önerilerde

bulunulmaktadır.
ARAP BAHARI’NIN SURİYE SAHASINDA ARAP DİLİNE OLAN YANSIMALARI: PYD/YPG ÖRNEĞİ

Published: November 2019

Arap

Baharı, yalnızca bir ülkede zuhur eden toplumsal olaylardan ziyade çok geniş

bir coğrafyada silsile halinde meydana gelen halk hareketlenmelerini kapsayan

bir kavram olarak incelenmektedir. Bu kapsamda, Suriye’de Beşar Esad’ın halkı

baskı altına alan uygulamaları neticesinde ülkede vuku bulan protesto ve

direnişler, Suriye Rejimi’nin halk nezdinde kabul görmediğini ve meşruiyet

eksikliği ile karşı karşıya kaldığını göstermiştir. Özellikle DEAŞ’ın gerileme

sürecine girdiği dönemde, PYD/YPG mezkûr durumu fırsata çevirerek Suriye’nin

kuzeyinde bilhassa Arap nüfusun yoğun olduğu birçok bölgeyi ele geçirmiştir.

PYD/YPG, başta Rakka olmak üzere ele geçirdiği Arap bölgelerindeki Arap

köylerine Kürtçe isimler vermektedir. Örgüt, bu yolla Arapçanın bölgedeki

tarihsel geçmişini ve kültürel etkisini silerek, adeta Arap bir coğrafyayı

Kürtleştirmeye çalışmaktadır. Ayrıca PYD/YPG, Suriye Arap Cumhuriyeti’nin resmi

dilinin Arapça olmasına rağmen, başta Haseke olmak üzere Suriye’nin kuzeyinde

kontrolü altındaki bölgelerde eğitim dilini Arapçadan Kürtçeye çevirerek

bölgedeki Arap nüfusu, anadilleri olan Arapçayı öğrenmekten mahrum etmektedir.

In this study, it is aimed to investigate the joining of filter paper, which we classify as oil, fuel and

air filter by four different methods. It has been determined whether it meets the post-merger

requirements or not. The oil, air and fuel filter papers are pleated using pleats, ultrasonic, metal

clips, polyamide-based hot melt and heat after being pleated (folded) to form media. Post-merger

macro studies were performed after combination. Media was transformed into final filter product

than buble test, air permeability and pore size test were applied. In terms of bonding quality,

respectively it can be said that the metal clips, hot glue, ultrasonic welding and heat bonding

methods should be, but in considering both quality bonding and to make saving, then metal clips,

ultrasonic welding, hot glue, and heat methods should be followed.
