Ölkrise, Energiekrise oder Krise des Kapitalismus?
Authors: Altvater Elmar
Published: February 2019

Die PROKLA druckt nachfolgend zwei Aufsätze zu den Problemen der sog. ,Ölkrise' ab. Im Beitrag von M. Massarrat wird der Versuch unternommen, auf der Grundlage der Marxschen Werttheorie die gegenwärtige Auseinandersetzung um Ölpreis und Verteilung des Profits zwischen ölproduzierenden Ländern einerseits, multinationalen Ölkonzernen und hochentwickelten kapitalistischen Staaten andererseits politisch einzuschätzen. Im Aufsatz von A. Tahmassebi hingegen wird eher versucht, durch eine Untersuchung der politischen Entwicklung und Verhältnisse in den arabischen ölproduzierenden Staaten und durch eine Einschätzung der politischen Machtverhältnisse die Chancen für eine Umverteilung der bei der Ölproduktion gewonnenen Surplusprofite zugunsten der ölproduzierenden Staaten zu bestimmen. So sind die beiden Beiträge durchaus auf verschiedenen Ebenen der Analyse angesiedelt und könnten einander ergänzen. Dies geschieht auch in gewissem Rahmen. Während von Massarrat mit der Untersuchung der Wertbewegung in der Energiebranche die Grenzen für die Ölpreissteigerung und die Verteilungsverhältnisse des Surplusprofits mit Hilfe der Marxschen Grundrententheorie bestimmt werden, während für ihn also die Konkurrenz in der Energiebranche zwischen den verschiedenen Energieträgern (Steinkohle, Erdgas, Erdöl usw.) und die Verteilung von Surplusprofiten bestimmten Gesetzen unterworfen ist, behandelt Tahmassebi die Machtkonstellationen und das daraus resultierende Handeln der Ölförderländer, der Ölkonzerne und der Verbraucherländer. Daß gerade durch die Versuche aller Beteiligten, für sich möglichst viel herauszuholen, einen möglichst großen Anteil am Surplusprofit der Ölproduktion zu ergattern, die Gesetze, denen die Wirkungsweise der Konkurrenz unterworfen ist, durchgesetzt werden, bleibt den Beteiligten verborgen und wird von Tahmassebi nicht behandelt. In seiner Darstellung erscheinen die multinationalen Ölmonopole eher als Souveräne des Prozesses. Dennoch ist die Darstellung dieser Bewegungen sehr wichtig, ist es doch durchaus möglich, an einem derzeit politisch wichtigen Fall, Macht und Ohnmacht von Staaten gegenüber dem Kapital zu exemplifizieren.
Die Trommel ruft - die Banner wehn
Authors: Betriebsgruppe bei Osram Westberlin Klassenkampf
Published: February 2019

Dies soll kein Bericht sein über die Lage in einem bestimmten Betrieb oder über die Arbeit unserer Betriebsgruppe, sondern wir wollen an einem konkreten Beispiel, das sich bei Osram/Westberlin Mitte November ereignet hat, die verantwortungslose und falsche Politik der sogenannten „KPD" darstellen. Das scheint uns umso wichtiger, als die KPD-AO und ihre „Rote Hilfe e. V." in ihren Zeitungen und Flugblättern mit ihren Osram-Erfolgen hausieren gehen und so ahnungslosen Kollegen und ,Menschen' (die AO trennt in ihrer Propaganda sorgfältig zwischen Arbeitern und Menschen=Studenten!) vorgaukeln, welch aktive und schlagkräftige Organisationen sie seien. Wir halten es auch für lehrreich, die Auseinandersetzung mit der AO nicht nur in der Theorie, sondern auch mal anhand eines konkreten Vorfalls zu führen.

Published: February 2019

Kenyataan bahwa waktu antrean untuk berwudhu begitu lama sehingga membuat jema’ah menjadi masbuk seringkali dijumpai di beberapa Masjid, tidak terkecuali di kota Palembang, terutama pada Masjid yang berlokasi di jalan umum, dimana jema’ah yang hadir bukan penduduk setempat. Salah satu faktor penyebabnya adalah tidak sebanding antara Jemaah dan jumlah kran wudhu yang tersedia, hal ini disebabkan tidak tepatnya perhitungan jumlah kran, dikarenakan tidak diketahuinya durasi waktu berwudhu harian jema’ah. Faktor lainnya adalah kecepatan air pada kran yang terlalu kecil hingga mempengaruhi lamanya waktu berwudhu, atau kecepatan air yang terlalu besar akan menimbulkan pemborosan air. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menentukan durasi waktu berwudhu dan volume penggunaan air pada masjid-masjid di Kota Palembang, dengan metode time motion study, berlokasi di 25 Masjid di Kota Palembang dengan 734 sampel, diambil menggunakan teknik purpose sample,  pengolahan data dengan metode timeline video player dan analisis tendensius sentral mean, untuk mendapatkan rata-rata durasi waktu berwudhu dan volume rata-rata air yang digunakan, kemudian disajikan dalam bentuk tabel dan narasi. Hasil penelitian diperoleh durasi waktu berwudhu rata-rata ± 64,2 detik, dengan volume penggunaan air sebesar ± 4,42 liter pada tiap kran dengan kecepatan air ± 0,070 liter per detik
Pengaruh Material Bangunan Terhadap Kekuatan Lantai Kamar Mandi Pada Rumah Tinggal
Authors: Sary Reny Kartika
Published: February 2019

Kamar mandi merupakan sebuah ruangan yang wajib ada pada suatu bangunan, baik itu bangunan private maupun bangunan publik karena ruangan ini memiliki fungsi yang sangat penting sebagai penunjang kegiatan dalam suatu bangunan. Banyak pemilik rumah membuat kamar mandi pribadi didalam kamar tidurnya, agar tidak terganggu dengan penghuni yang lain atau orang lain yang sedang bertamu kerumah. Kamar mandi pada saat ini bukan saja sebagai tempat untuk membersihkan diri tapi juga sebagai ruang privat yang dijadikan sebagai pengejahwantahan dari pemilik bagunan tersebut. Permasalah yang terjadi pada saat ini, pembuatan kamar mandi sering  tidak memperhatikan kaidah keselamatan serta kaidah konstruksi yang benar. Adapun permasalahan yang terjadi pada kamar mandi baik pada perkantoran, mall dan khususnya perumahan adalah sering meledaknya keramik lantai, ini terjadi karena pada bagian bawah lantai keramik tersebut terlalu lembab sehingga menyebabkan air dari sisa pemakaian bekas kamar mandi maupun dari air tanah keluar melalui spesi keramik. Adapun sebab lain adalah turunnya tanah pada kamar mandi dikarenakan terlalu sering tergenang air atau dikarenakan banjir yang mengakibatkan tanah dan spesi dibawah keramik menjadi turun. Turunnya tanah dan keramik yang berada dikamar mandi tersebut menyebabkan kamar mandi menjadi tidak aman bagi penggunanya, karena; 1) keramik yang turun akan menyisakan lubang yang bisa membuat cidera pada kaki, 2) keramik yang turun akan membuat rongga pada keramik dan retakan pada spesi sehingga akan mengundang kedatangan binatang-binatang melata yang sangat berbahaya.

People show attention to cloud computing since it is efficient and scalable. But maintaining the stability of processing so many jobs in the cloud computing environment with load balancing is a very difficult problem and receives much attention by researchers. Load balancing in cloud computing platform has performance impact also. Good load balancing makes cloud computing more efficient and increases user satisfaction. This paper introduces a better load balance model for public cloud based on cloud partitioning concept with a switch mechanism to choose various strategies in different situations. The algorithm applies game theory to load balancing strategy and improves the efficiency in the public cloud environment. MCC is a concept which aims to mitigate these limitations by extending the capabilities of smart devices by employing cloud services, as required. In MCC both the data storage and processing occur external to the mobile device, while in cloud computing it is usually only the data storage which is external. In this following a some of these architectures as categorized in augmented execution, elastic partitioned/modularized applications, application mobility, ad-hoc mobile cloud and add a fifth category; cyber foraging. This system addresses whether MCC techniques can be used to extend the capabilities of resource-constrained mobile-devices to provide the illusion of infinite, elastic resources on demand. The existing system limitations of mobile-devices, and identified five key limited resources as being CPU, memory, battery, data usage and time. In this research explored existing solutions for these limitations and identified offloading computation and storage from the device as a possible solution.

Authors: Takeyama Tomohide , Tachibana Shinya , Kitanoi Tomoki , Iizuka Atsushi
Published: February 2019

The engineering needs which have to consider the multi-physics are increasing. When the multi-phase problem is treated by monolithic coupling approach, there are some difficulties such as the increase in the number of degree of freedom, the complication of the program code and so on. In order to overcome these shortcomings in considering the new additional phase, we applied the partitioned iterative coupling approach to the Hydro-Mechanical coupled problem in this research. In the partitioned iterative coupling approach, the behavior of single phases can be individually calculated and the interaction between the phases has been considered at an appropriate timing by the middleware. The middleware plays a role to regulate the single-phase analysis. In this research, we carried out the numerical simulation of one-dimensional consolidation by both the partitioned iterative coupling scheme and the monolithic coupling scheme, and then we confirmed that the numerical results are the same. Through the research, it figured out the efficient iterative scheme.

Published: February 2019

Soil movements arising from tunnel excavation may induce severe stresses on adjacent piled foundations. This paper investigates the behavior of piles due to nearby tunneling in soft clay using centrifuge modeling technique. Centrifuge modeling has an advantage that the consolidation time of the clay under forced gravity field can be expedited significantly to study the long term performance of a pile due to tunneling. The types of piles investigated in the present study include floating pile, socketed pile and end bearing piles with different pile head conditions. The test results on the induced axial and lateral pile responses due to tunneling are presented in this paper and the implications of the findings to engineering practice are highlighted.

ABSTRACT

The essence of art is creating beauty. Since ancient times beauty is something that is always sought after by humans. The beauty is getting worse due to traditional art increasingly abandoned. Traditional art is all things related to values in a particular community which are maintained purely from generation to generation. In contrast to contemporary art, one of the most prominent and prominent characteristics in contemporary art is the disappearance of boundaries between art. Both forms and styles of fine arts need to be preserved by students as the next generation. The importance of preserving art is part of the preservation of the arts and culture of the nation's heritage. Traditional and contemporary art are taught in the realm of education, especially at the university level through fine arts courses. The purpose of this study is to find out the perceptions of art students on traditional art and contemporary art, so that students as young people can identify and determine their interest in one form and style between traditional and contemporary art.

Published: February 2019

This article analyzes the regulatory documents on determination of protective action time of gas filters and FILTERS-ADSORBER, which are designed for individual and collective protection. The current absence of a current regulatory document in Ukraine is indicated according to which protective action time of filters is determined, adds relevance in the implementation of the method of determining this filter characteristic. The theoretical aspects of effect of absorbing capacity of filters are highlighted, the fundamental principles of adsorption are linked with the time of protective action time of filters against hazardous chemicals. The process of adsorption on the surface and formation of sorption layers in case of polymolecular adsorption is schematically shown, as described by the BET theory. It is indicated that protective action time on the direct depends on particular case of adsorption - chemisorption. The types of adsorption isotherms are considered, they are characterized and the Langmuir and BET equations are given. The protective action of filter as a phenomena of chemisorption on the surface of sorbent is described by the Langmuir isotherm, in particular, parts I and II. When determining protective action time the monomolecular adsorption of hazardous chemical substance occurs with formation of a chemical bond with the surface. The chemical bond is formed from the impregnated catalyst due to the redistribution of electrons. Solutions of metal salts are used as a catalyst, and the metal ion itself acts as an active center during the process of chemisorption. The role of adsorption kinetics in the implementation of sanitary cleaning of gas from the pollutant in the practical plane is considered. The possibility of calculating the amount of a chemical that a sorbent can absorb is shown by constructing an adsorption isotherm of a standard substance and a pollutant adsorption working line. Adsorption isotherm was captured for adsorbent from FG-130 FPK 95 filter on KELVIN 1042 sorptometr.

Introduction: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder. Due to long term impairment, high genetic component (heritability> 90%), lack of effective prevention and treatment, ASD has been prioritized for genetic studies. Studies on Copy Number Variations (CNV) at chromosome 16p11.2 locus have mostly been conducted in population of pure or predominant European ancestry. It is not known whether this is also prevalent among the ASD affected individuals in population of other ancestries such as Bangladeshi population. The aim of this research work is to detect CNV of SEZ6L2 gene at 16p11.2 locus and to describe the associated clinical characteristics in Bangladeshi cohort with clinically diagnosed ASD.

Methods: The known SEZ6L2 gene was interrogated for copy number variation (CNV) in twenty five autistic patients with SYBR Green I assay using the real time qPCR. Probands were interrogated using relative standard curve (efficiency correction) method. Epilepsy with speech disorder and postnatal infection might be more common among autistic patients with CNV at this SEZ6L2 gene.

Results: The two cases with characteristics CNV was detected who had clinically manifestation of convulsion at different ages, partial developmental delay in multiple domains including delay in walking, speech delay and mental age not corresponding with the chronological age. This work describes the frequency of CNV is 8.3 %. This rate is skewed due to small sample size and do not reflect the true frequency of 16p11.2 duplication impacting SEZ6L2 gene.

Conclusion: Epilepsy with speech disorder and postnatal infection might be more common among autistic patients with CNV at this SEZ6L2 gene.

For this, 20 (twenty) Long Evans rats (200±20) of both sexes were divided into control ( 10 ml/kg of 1% solution of Tween 20) and experimental groups (NSO 0.5, with 0.5 ml/kg NSO; NSO 1, with 1 ml/kg NSO; NSO 1.5, with 1.5 ml/kg NSO) with 5 rats in each group. To assess nociceptive pain, central analgesic system and inflammatory pain early phase (1st-5th minutes); inter phase (6th-15th minutes) and late phase (16th-60th minutes) of formalin test respectively were observed. All the agents were given intraperitoneally in a single dose just one hour before the formalin test. In all phases, total frequency of jerking and total duration of flexing and licking of right hind paw were counted after administration of subcutaneous formalin (50 mL, 2.5%) injection. Statistical analysis was done by ANOVA, followed by Bonferroni’s post hoc test.

Results: In early phase, NSO significantly reduced the jerking (p ≤0.001, in all doses) and flexing and licking (p ≤0.001, in higher 2 doses). In interphase, jerking was significantly (p ≤0.01) lowered after 1.5 ml/kg of NSO but flexing and licking significantly lowered by all 3 doses (p ≤0.05, p ≤ 0.001, p≤ 0.001). In addition, in late phase jerking and flexing and licking was reduced by higher 2 doses (p ≤0.001) and all 3 doses respectively (p ≤ 0.001, in all doses).

Conclusion: From this study, it may be concluded that, NSO possess analgesic effect and higher two doses were more effective than lower doses.

This study is outlined to define the chemical composition and in vitro antioxidant activity of the extracts of aerial part and root of Eryngium campestre L. (Apiaceae) from Kosovo. Analysis of the chemical composition include determination of total ash, ash insoluble in hydrochloric acid, loss on drying and the content of water extract, as well as determination of flavonoids in aerial part and hemolytic activity of the root. The mineral composition (Zn, Fe, Cu, Mn, Ni, K, Co, Pb, Cd and Cr) in aerial parts and root has been studied using atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS and ETAAS). Different part of E. campestre accumulate different amounts of investigated minerals. Antioxidant activity was determined by four various testing systems: DPPH assay, inhibition of production of hydroxyl radical, β-carotenebleaching assay, and inhibition of lipid peroxidation (TBA test). In DPPH system, ethanol extract of root of E. campestre exhibited higher radical-scavenging activity (IC50 = 0.72 mg ml-1) compared to the extract of the aerial part (IC50 = 1.14 mg ml-1). On the other hand, aerial part ethanol extract has exhibited stronger inhibition capacity on the production of hydroxyl radical in deoxyribose system than the
root extract (50% and 45%, respectively). However, both ethanol extracts of E. campestre exhibited low antioxidant activity in β-carotenebleaching assay as well as, low capacity for inhibition of spontaneous lipid peroxidation in rat liver homogenate

Published: February 2019

A laboratory experiment was set up to demonstrate the capability of microbe to remediate petroleum hydrocarbon contaminated beach sand. Oil contaminated soil was used as a source of inoculum for hydrocarbon degrading bacteria (HDB) while oil contaminated beach sand was used as remediation object. The growth of HDB in the inocula was enriched and stimulated through the addition of nutrient in the form of vitamin and mineral as well the addition of oil waste as a source of carbon. Experiment took place in the course of approximately five weeks. Microscopic observation clearly showed the interaction between microbe and oil contaminant both in enrichment and bioremediation samples. The result of the experiment also suggests that approximately 25% of the petroleum hydrocarbon mass in the contaminated beach sand was biodegraded over the course of one month. Overall, the results of this experiment suggest the potential of bioremediation method to treat petroleum hydrocarbon polluted environment.Keywords: bacteria, bioremediation, hydrocarbon

Authors: Cherencio Guillermo
Published: February 2019

Un universo de discurso puede representarse a través de un diseño conceptual traducible en un modelo de datos lógico relacional y puede implementarse utilizando un sistema de gestor de bases de datos relacionales como Firebird/Interbase (FB). FB tiene una serie de tecnologías tales como: disparadores, procedimientos almacenados, tablas derivadas a partir de procedimientos; que permiten la resolución de los siguientes casos de implementación genéricos: atributos derivados, cardinalidad máxima, tipo - subtipo mutuamente excluyentes, entidad fuerte – entidad débil con discriminante ascendente consecutivo. Estos casos típicos se enmarcan en dos modelos de implementación posibles y extremos: interacción directa (modelo A) e interacción indirecta (modelo B) sobre las tablas de la base de datos. Se desarrollan cada una de estas implementaciones posibles en ambos modelos; se automatiza todo el desarrollo utilizando un software desarrollado como producto de este trabajo, que facilita la correcta implementación de bases de datos relacionales.

La Ingeniería de Software necesita herramientas novedosas para alcanzar alta calidad en el software, enfrentando el rol cambiante del mismo. La Arquitectura de Software es clave, ya que afecta directamente a la calidad final. La Evaluación de Arquitecturas de Software valida si la arquitectura cumple con los requerimientos de calidad, implicando decisiones de diseño. La toma de decisiones es un proceso complejo conducido por factores humanos, donde la Inteligencia Artificial puede asistir. Entonces, se propone un enfoque basado en Inteligencia Artificial para ayudar a arquitectos en el proceso de toma de decisiones de diseño conducido por atributos de calidad. Esta versión combina modelos de atributos de calidad y un Agente inteligente, utilizando Aprendizaje por Refuerzo para obtener una política de aplicación de patrones arquitectónicos secuencial mediante simulación. Un estudio de caso y una serie de experimentos ilustran la propuesta con patrones comúnmente utilizados en la industria del software.
