Authors: Kusuma Asni
Published: November 2024

Di Semarang terdapat ruang publik berupa Ruang Terbuka Hijau (RTH) seperti taman, dan ruang terbuka non hijau seperti plaza, dan pedestrian/ pejalan kaki. RTH publik ditargetkan seluas 20% dari luas Kota Semarang, namun berdasarkan Rencana Pembangunan Jangka Menengah Daerah (RPJMD) Kota Semarang tahun 2021-2026, capaian RTH publik tahun 2020 masih belum tercapai (baru mencapai 15%). Permasalahan lain yang muncul di ruang publik adalah fungsi dari ruang publik yang sudah tidak sesuai dengan kaidah perencanaan ruang publik. Misalnya pada fasilitas pejalan kaki yang digunakan untuk aktivitas pedagang informal, fasilitas pejalan kaki yang belum tersedia lampu penerangan jalan, atau jalur pejalan kaki yang belum aman dan nyaman untuk pejalan kaki. Penyusunan Kajian Persepsi Masyarakat terhadap Penataan Ruang Publik dan Fasilitas Pejalan Kaki di Kota Semarang bertujuan untuk mengetahui persepsi dan preferensi masyarakat terhadap ruang publik dan fasilitas pejalan kaki, sehingga dapat dirumuskan rekomendasi yang diperlukan dalam pengembangan ruang terbuka publik dan fasilitas pejalan kaki ke depannya. Pendekatan yang digunakan dalam penyusunan kajian ini adalah pendekatan deduktif kuantitatif rasionalistik. Pendekatan deduktif dengan menggunakan dasar teori yang sudah ada untuk merumuskan kriteria dan indikator kajian. Pendekatan kuantitatif digunakan untuk menganalisis persepsi dan preferensi masyarakat dengan memberikan penilaian terhadap indikator dan parameter kajian. Pendekatan rasionalistik dilakukan melalui konsepsualisasi teoritik dan studi literatur sebagai tolak ukur pendekatan uji, hasil analisis, dan pembahasan suatu masalah penelitian untuk menarik kesimpulan dan pemaknaan. Data untuk kebutuhan analisis diperoleh dengan melakukan pengumpulan data sekunder ke instansi terkait, dan pengumpulan data primer melalui pembagian kuesioner kepada responden. Responden terdiri dari pengunjung ruang publik dan pengguna fasilitas pejalan kaki, dengan jumlah responden dihitung berdasarkan Rumus Slovin. Berdasarkan persepsi responden tersebut dapat disimpulkan bahwa, kondisi ruang publik dan pejalan kaki di Kota Semarang sudah baik, meskipun ada beberapa fasilitas pendukung yang perlu ditingkatkan. Rekomendasi yang diarahkan berupa penataan ruang publik, dan penataan fasilitas pejalan kaki di Kota Semarang, dengan menambahkan fasilitas pendukung yag dinilai kurang baik. Harapannya dengan adanya rekomendasi penataan tersebut, dapat  meningkatkan kenyamanan dan keamanan pengunjung ruang publik, maupun pengguna fasilitas pejalan kaki di Kota Semarang.
Advances in bottom-up modelling of atmospheric emissions originated from seagoing vessels
Authors:   , Heikkilä Mikko
Published: November 2024

Air emissions originating from maritime traffic can be modelled to a reasonable degree of accuracy using a bottomup method, where positioning data is used to calculate the resistance experienced by the vessel moving at a certain speed, the engine load needed to supply the power demand, fuel consumption based on the engine load and emission factors based on engine load, fuel type and consumption. The model accuracy depends on the resolution of the underlying data and the observational studies on which the model is trained. Each measuring campaign of shipping air emissions can be used to validate model results and calculate more accurate emission factors, that represent the ship, fuel and engine type studied. Three measuring studies were analysed in this work to obtain advances to the Finnish Meteorological Institute's Ship Traffic Emission Assessment Model (STEAM). Based on the results, knowledge gaps for future research were identified, and new functions were created to estimate the fuel consumption of studied engines and to model the atmospheric emissions with increased accuracy. In a direct comparison between modelled and observed values, the resistance calculation method used by STEAM performs with reasonable accuracy. However, the modelled auxiliary power demand underestimates significantly observed values on a large cruise ship. Also, the additional resistance caused by meteorological parameters does not increase the accuracy of the model. Additional research is needed in these fields. The fuel consumption of a constant-speed internal combustion engine follows a different curve compared to a variable-speed engine. A more accurate model was created to predict the relative fuel consumption of a constant-speed marine engine. An engine load-based function to model the black carbon emissions originating from ships using exhaust gas cleaning systems was calculated based on observational data derived from measuring exhaust gas plumes detected at a remote marine station. The uncombusted hydrocarbons, mainly methane, of a ship using liquefied natural gas as primary fuel escape to the atmosphere causing increased greenhouse gas emissions. This methane slip can be modelled as a function of engine load and the share of pilot fuel consumed. A function is presented to model the methane slip from a lowpressure dual-fuel 4-stroke engine with a reasonable degree of accuracy. Further, the methane slip can be used to define the rate of actual combusted gas fuel and model the emission rates of other pollutants with relevant emission factors. The functions modelling different compounds in the exhaust gas perform reasonably at different engine loads. However, short-term higher rates of nitrogen oxides and particles are observed when large marine engines are started. These should be studied in detail to model emissions affecting air quality in high resolution.

Published: November 2024

O presente artigo objetiva desenvolver uma análise fílmica a partir de como percebemos ecompreendemos a poética como elemento indissociável da vida cotidiana. Para tanto,apresentamos a desconstrução imagética do filme Green Book: o guia em que perfazemos a crítica aos olhares hierarquizados e condicionados ao padrão da normalidade referente a corpos negros e que transgridem o universo de tudo que é apontado como padrão. O texto nos impele a refletir sobre as dores dos corpos negros, sobre as dores causadas pela xenofobia e sobre o fracasso escolar de um dos protagonistas do filme, que é auxiliado pelo protagonista Don Shirley a superar suas dificuldades com a escrita. Ele então rompe com estereótipos a partir da representatividade de um músico negro de renome internacional e de sua amizade construída em meio à superação das diferenças, em que os diferentes se entendem em processos de aprendizagem mútua e social.

Subject description: Infectious diseases are now recognized to have a significant impact on some populations of wildlife. Although many infectious agents are species-specific, several pathogenic organisms can cross the species barrier and cause severe clinical diseases in new hosts. It is critical to understand the role played by emerging infectious diseases and zoonoses transmitted between humans and great apes. Objective: The objective pursued by this study is to contribute to the sustainable conservation of bonobos (Pan paniscus), an endemic species of DRC that faces various threats including diseases such as parasites. Methods and Results: The lab analyses were carried out at the Central Veterinary Laboratory in Kinshasa based on two main methods including qualitative and quantitative coproscopy by flotation and counting the number of eggs per gram (OPG) by the McMaster method. In total 72 samples were analysed, 46 samples (64%), were infested by five species of nematodes, including Ankylostoma spp., Trichostrongylus spp., Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura and Oesophagostomum sp. The infestation with Trichostrongylus spp. was found to be higher compared to other nematodes. In addition, subadults were more infected compared to specimens of other age groups. Conclusion and application of results: In this study, nematodes hosted by endangered bonobos were monitored in a relatively large number of 72 bonobos samples. The study found that individuals that were more central in the social interaction such as Subadults had higher chances of contracting parasites. These results indicate that for bonobos, social behaviour and age influence the risk of contracting parasites. Two factors that can be taken into account when managing diseases outbreaks in captivity and regular monitoring and treatment of individuals must be done to protect the species.

Published: November 2024

Increasing the efficiency of equipment is very necessary to avoid wasting energy. It is known that fossil fuel energy continues to increase and runs out quickly, so alternative energy is needed that can be used continuously and does not run out quickly when used because this energy is easy to obtain and comes from nature. The aim of this research is to create a design for this equipment that can be applied in laboratories, pharmacies, hospitals, etc. The methods used in this design are structural plans and functional plans. In the process of heating the air in the evaporator with varying volumes, namely 1 liter, 2 liters, 2.5 liters, 3 liters and 3.5 liters, you can see a large amount of steam with a short heating process. The results of the research show that it can be seen that the electrical thermal efficiency shows that the smaller the value of the feed water volume, the greater the electrical thermal efficiency (inversely proportional). This shows that one indication is that the performance of the aquadest evaporator saves electrical energy in the heating and evaporation process of optimal water because the less feed, the faster the heating process, and the greater the amount of steam produced in one hour of operation and it can be seen that the energy consumption is spent on a volume of 3.5 liters because the heating time is long compared to other variations in feed water volume so the energy consumption is large

As we enter the 21st century, concerns over dwindling oil and gas reserves have become more pronounced. With energy demand on the rise, particularly in developed nations, projections indicate a 70% increase between 2000 and 2030. By the year 2017, global electricity demand is expected to reach 25.4 trillion kWh. Solar energy emerges as a promising solution, especially in regions like Indonesia, where the entire mainland covers roughly 2 million km2 and receives an average daily radiation distribution of 4.8 kWh/m2. This translates to a solar energy potential of 5.10 mW, equivalent to 112,000 GWp. Technically speaking, solar panels have shown an efficiency improvement of 17.4%. When considering components and the quality absorbed by solar power plants (PLTS) synchronized by KWH EXIM, calculations reveal a performance ratio of 81%, confirming the technical feasibility of implementing such systems

Published: November 2024

Unsafe worker behavior remains a prevalent issue leading to workplace accidents, particularly within companies specializing in services for head truck operations, maintenance, and lifting equipment. This study aims to enhance worker safety behaviors through proactive interventions utilizing behavioral observation and intervention (BO&I). Additionally, trend analysis is employed to predict the impact of interventions on worker safety behaviors. Mechanical workers involved in lifting and transport equipment operations are surveyed as respondents. The findings reveal a notable increase in the percentage of safe behaviors post-intervention compared to pre-intervention levels. Moreover, disparities in worker safety behaviors between pre- and post-intervention stages are identified, particularly in work stages associated with a high frequency of accidents. Trend analysis forecasts that the maximum percentage of safe worker behavior will be observed at the 91st intervention. Furthermore, binary logistic regression analysis indicates that variables such as age, tenure, utilization of personal protective equipment (PPE), and education significantly influence worker behaviors.

Published: November 2024

The ever-increasing global population growth has a direct impact on residential building demand, which often does not keep pace with construction growth. This condition leads to an increase in housing density and a decrease in construction quality, which contributes to excessive heat inside homes. Therefore, this research explores the use of organic waste, specifically reeds and young coconut fiber, as environmentally friendly thermal materials to reduce dependence on artificial energy and its negative impacts. The high cellulose content in reeds and the fiber in young coconut fiber is a combination that has the potential to create an effective heat absorber. Product composition material testing was carried out using a thermogun, and the results were analyzed using the one-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) method. This research aims to utilize the potential of organic waste to produce insulation that can reduce heat temperatures in buildings, with the hope of finding alternative materials that are more sustainable and environmentally friendly.

Published: November 2024

Introduction: Hemopoiesis, the formation of blood cells, varies with age, with a shift from active red bone marrow to
fatty tissue and a decreased regenerative capacity of hematopoietic stem cells. While aging itself is not a disease, it
increases susceptibility to various conditions. This study explores how age affects white blood cell (WBC) and platelet counts, and differential
leukocyte counts in males and females. The aim of this study was to analyze and compare WBC and pla Aims: telet counts across different age
groups for both genders, and to evaluate differential leukocyte counts between males and females across these age groups. A Methodology:
cross-sectional study was conducted over 18 months at Govt. Siddhartha Medical College, involving 300 healthy participants aged 31 to 60
years. Data on WBC and platelet counts were obtained from the central laboratory using a Horiba cell counter. Participants with suspected
clinical diseases were excluded. ANOVA was used to assess statistical significance in differences across age groups. The study found an Results:
increasing trend in total WBC counts with age for both males and females, with statistically significant differences (p=0.034 for males, p=0.015
for females). Platelet counts did not show a consistent age-related trend. Males had a mean platelet count ranging from 2.86 to 3.02 lakhs/µL
(p=0.04), while females ranged from 2.37 to 3.62 lakhs/µL (p=0.09). Differential leukocyte counts showed minor gender-based variations.
Conclusion: This study highlights age-related trends in WBC counts, with significant changes observed in both males and females. While
platelet counts did not exhibit a clear age-related trend, variations among age groups were significant in males. These findings suggest potential
hormonal influences and underscore the need for further research to understand the underlying mechanisms affecting haematological parameters

Influencer marketing has rapidly emerged as a cornerstone of digital advertising strategies, enabling brands to connect authentically with target audiences through trusted voices on social media platforms. However, measuring the effectiveness of these campaigns has long been a challenge due to the complexity of digital ecosystems and the sheer volume of data generated by user interactions. Big Data and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are revolutionizing the way brands evaluate influencer marketing campaigns, offering unprecedented insights into key performance metrics such as engagement, audience sentiment, and conversion rates. This paper explores how data analytics and AI tools are transforming the identification of influencers, the optimization of campaign performance, and the prediction of future trends. Furthermore, we address the ethical considerations surrounding data privacy and the transparency of AI-driven decisions in influencer marketing. Ultimately, this study highlights how Big Data and AI are not only enhancing the efficiency of influencer marketing but also reshaping the future of digital advertising as a whole.
GLOSSÁRIO AUDIODESCRITIVO: RECURSO DIDÁTICO INCLUSIVO NO ENSINO DE QUÍMICA
Authors: Louzada Rodrigues Mylena Sarah
Published: November 2024

School inclusion is based on the idea that all students must attend the regular education network, with the school being responsible for adapting to receive the student, through the use of teaching methodologies, accessible teaching resources, always taking into account consideration of students' needs. This work aims to establish reflections on the inclusive potential of a multiformat glossary accessible in audio and audio description as a didactic resource, working on concepts related to atomic models and concepts of general chemistry. With regard to the research methodology, it was divided into four stages, namely: the choice of platform; study on audio description; study and choice of terms to compose the glossary; and the validation of the didactic resource, which was carried out in two stages, the first a priori and the second stage a posteriori. Some of the results that were obtained with the a priori validation process of the resource with the basic education chemistry teachers and with the advisor show the need to expand the contents to be included in the resource, in relation to the a posteriori validation, carried out by the blind people and people with low vision, it can be said that they believe that the resource is valid in the sense of making chemistry more accessible, less abstract, making it possible to actually learn this discipline. In conclusion, the research carried out has significant relevance, given that it allows students to have a space for speech and more autonomy in learning.
Научная результативность федеральных исследовательских центров: есть ли эффект от реструктуризации?
Authors: Д.В. Косяков , П.Ю. Блинов
Published: November 2024

Основной заявленной целью реструктуризации сети научных организаций, сопровождавшейся созданием федеральных исследовательских центров (ФИЦ), было повышение эффективности, т. е. удельной результативности научной работы. Первые ФИЦ были образованы уже в 2014 г. Несмотря на неоднозначное отношение научного сообщества к процессам объединения институтов и накопленный к настоящему времени опыт функционирования ФИЦ, до сих пор нет количественных исследований эффекта укрупнения институтов, создания многопрофильных региональных исследовательских центров. Результаты попытки восполнить этот пробел с помощью специально разработанного индикатора научной результативности, позволяющего сравнивать эффективность научных организаций по разным направлениям исследований, в том числе политематических, показывают, что ожидаемый рост эффективности в общем случае не достигнут, а успех отдельных исследовательских центров вполне сопоставим с ростом результативности ведущих институтов, избежавших реорганизации.

The main stated goal of the restructuring of the network of scientific organizations, accompanied by the creation of Federal Research Centers (FRCs), was to increase the efficiency, personal research productivity. The first FRCs were established in 2014. Despite the ambiguous attitude of the scientific community to the processes of consolidation of institutes and the experience accumulated to date in the functioning of FRCs, there are still no quantitative studies of the effect of consolidation of institutes and the creation of multidisciplinary regional research centers. This work tries to fill this gap with the help of a specially developed indicator of research performance, which allows comparing the efficiency of scientific organizations in different areas of research, including polythematic research. The results show that the expected increase in efficiency has not been achieved in the general case, and the success of individual research centers is quite comparable to the increase in efficiency of leading institutes that have avoided restructuring.

From Avatars to Hybrid Bodies: Postdualist and Posthumanist Approaches to the Anthropology of Virtual Reality
Authors: Waligórski Jan
Published: November 2024

The dynamic development of virtual reality (VR) technology is reconfiguring the relationship between humans and their avatars in virtual worlds. Physical bodies and spaces become entangled with their digital counterparts and are engaged in events within virtual environments, necessitating a shift in the approach to conducting anthropological research in VR. This essay challenges digital dualism through the exploration of the hybrid nature of embodiment in VR. The aim of the text is to lay the groundwork for a postdualistic and posthumanist approach to VR anthropology, which emphasizes the entanglements between humans and technologies, and between physical and digital bodies, blurring the boundaries between these dichotomies. In this approach, I conceptualize VR users as cyborg assemblages, emerging in intra-actions between humans, technologies, and digital bodies, thereby highlighting the agency of non-humans in co-shaping their hybrid somaticity.
