Introduction to a Depth Ontology of Art]
Authors: Avramov Nikifor
Published: June 2023

I present the concept of creative art as a junction of the fundamental situations that make of art – art. I shed light on the concept through connecting creation, as an impulse corresponding to the concept of φύσις, to art, as a frame corresponding to νόμος and the human form. I demonstrate that the concept, as much as it presupposes a depth ontology (possible as a metaphysically reflected ontology) speaks of categorical dyads, such as those of inner and outer, and immaterial and material. The later I consider as already grasped by the metaphysics of antiquity, according to which I therefore clarify the historical situation of my attempt: the reflection of the continuation of the metaphysical tradition through the topic of art, considering how this tradition always pushed itself against the consideration of art in its metaphysical light.
Faktor-faktor Ketidaksambungan Sanad Talaqqī Al-Quran
Authors: Mohamad Mohamad Redha , A Adi Muhammad Fairuz , Shamsul Kamar Muhammad Zaid
Published: June 2023

Quran is the main source of reference for Muslims in living their daily lives. It is a holy book that is always read, practiced and inherited through the ages. Muslims study the Quran with the guidance of teachers to obtain a valid reading method. The general knowledge of the Quran is passed on to each generation by the method of taking recitations from teachers, namely talaqqī mushāfaḥah. Learning the Quran by the method of talaqqī mushāfaḥah from teacher to student has formed a continuous sanad chain. The continuity of the sanad is very important because it is one of the three pillars of the acceptance of a valid recitation of the Qur'an.  However, scholars have found that there are some things that would cause the Quranic sanad to be broken or disconnected. Thus, this article will discuss the factors that lead to the discontinuity of the Quranic talaqqī sanad. The study data was collected by analyzing literature documents, while the data analysis method was also carried out descriptively. The results of the study show that there are three factors that cause the disconnection of Quranic talaqqī sanads, namely falsification of sanad (tadlīs al-Isnād), discrepancies when recording sanad chains and an attitude of not being concerned and not taking knowledge of sanad. These three factors can be overcome by expanding the study and learning related to the science of Quranic sanads. The implication of the findings of the study is that it is imperative to educate people to know and understand the knowledge of Quranic sanad
A case study exploring experience of relational depth between therapist and client in a single session recorded during a skills practice
Authors: Frzina Jasmina
Published: June 2023

Aim

This research explored the experience of relational depth between therapist and client during a single session recorded during a skills practice activity.

Method and Analysis

An archived skills practice video was rated by client and therapist for perceived depth of connection. This rating was completed at each minute using a 0 to 10 scale (0=not at all connected, 10=deeply connected). Following this, the discussion about the ratings was audio recorded and transcribed verbatim. The data was analysed using grounded theory.

Findings

Two core-categories were generated: These were the client and therapist’s perception of: (1) moments of connectedness; and (2) moments of disconnectedness. Within the moments of connectedness three subcategories were found: (i) experience of therapist’s congruence; (ii) experience of being listened to; and (iii) experience of having the time to process. Within moments of disconnectedness two sub-categories were found: (i) experience of not being ‘in tune’ with the therapist; and (ii) experience of the therapist working too hard.

Discussion

The findings are consistent with the literature suggesting that there is a high level of consensus in therapist-client perception of relational connectedness, and the deepening of this, albeit at a slower rate, as the session progresses (Cooper, 2012). The findings also point to links between the two core categories and their lower order counter-parts, and as such show clients’ perceptions of therapist skills under which the relational depth was experienced and near reverse of therapist skills in which it was not. Although much of the literature has concentrated upon relational depth in person-centred therapy, this study demonstrates that moments of relational depth can be experienced by participants from other therapeutic orientations.
Emotion-focused therapy for social anxiety: A hermeneutic single case efficacy design study of a low-outcome case
Authors: MacLeod Rachel , Elliott Robert
Published: June 2023

Background

Hermeneutic single case efficacy design (HSCED) has emerged and developed as a rigorous psychotherapy research method for examining the effects of therapy in single cases (Stephen & Elliott, 2011). The effectiveness of Person-centred experiential (PCE) psychotherapies for treating Social Anxiety (SA) has been the specific focus of recent HSCED research, and initial findings have indicated that various strands of PCE therapy have potential to be effective treatments for SA (Stephen, Elliott & MacLeod, 2011; MacLeod, Elliott & Rodgers, 2012).

Methodology

HSCED was applied to a low-outcome case in which an individual presenting with SA received 20 sessions of Emotion-focused therapy (EFT). A rich case record, and set of affirmative and sceptic arguments – arguing for and against client change – were developed, based on a body of qualitative and quantitative data gathered over the course of the client’s therapy.

Findings

The client showed evidence of a slight to moderate degree of change. In addition, his therapy was judged to have had a clear but modest effect on outcome.

Discussion

Findings, and wider implications for the application of HSCED, are highlighted and discussed.
Opinions of Turkish Physicians About the Participation of Patients and/or Patient Caregivers in Multidisciplinary Tumor Boards; A Survey Study From Tertiary Center in Konya
Authors: EREN Orhan Önder , ÇAĞLAYAN Melek , KÖREZ Muslu Kazım
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Objective: Multidiscplinary management is very important component of treatment of cancer. Multidisciplinary tumor boards (MB) provide the chance for shared-decision making in this complex type of disease. The participation of patients or caregivers in MB is a contentious issue and is not common in Turkey. In this study we aimed to determine what Turkish physicians participating MTBs in Selcuk University Faculty of Medicine think about the participation of patients and caregivers in MTBs.
Method: The study was conducted in Selcuk University Faculty of Medicine in August 2022. The physicians that accepted to participate completed a 9-item questionnaire. The relationships between the participants’ sociodemographic characteristics and their questionnaire responses concerning MTBs were analyzed using Pearson’s chi-square test or the Fisher-Freeman-Halton test.
Results: No statistically significant correlation was found between the socio-demographic characteristics of the participants and the opinions of cancer patients or their relatives about their participation in multidisciplinary tumor boards. 50 % of the participants do not approve participation of patient or caregivers in MTBs. 35 % of participants approve the participation of both in the MB. 4.4 % of participants approve only the participation of caregivers whereas only the 8.9 % of medical oncologist approve only the participation of patients in tumor board.
Conclusion: Among 45 Turkish physicians in a tertiary care center, half of the participants do not approve of the participation of patients or caregivers in MTBs. The major reason for this lack of approval is fear that patients and caregivers will not understand medical terminology which may lead to misunderstanding by patients or caregivers.

APPRENDIMENTO DELLA L2 E PROCESSI DI RI-COSTRUZIONE DELL’IDENTITÀ: ANALISI DELL’AUTOBIOGRAFIA SOCIOLINGUISTICA DI EVA HOFFMAN
Authors: Celentin Paola
Published: June 2023

Questo articolo analizza il romanzo di Eva Hoffman Lost in translation, tradotto in italiano nel 1996 da Donzelli con il titolo Come si dice e ripubblicato nel 2021 da Erickson con il titolo La lingua del tempo.  Dopo aver esplorato i poli lingua e identità culturale, intese l’una come strumento e l’altra come relazione, lo scritto indaga la traiettoria di apprendimento della L2 (l’inglese americano) da parte dell’autrice, investigando il ruolo di questo apprendimento linguistico nella ri-costruzione della sua identità nella migrazione. I risultati dell’analisi possono essere utili in particolar modo per chi opera in contesti plurilingui, sia per decentrare il proprio punto di vista rispetto agli stereotipi e ai pregiudizi talvolta associati all'apprendimento di una L2 in contesto migratorio, sia per comprendere la complessità delle variabili che determinano la ri-costruzione dell’identità linguistica di tutti gli apprendenti.

 

L2 learning and identity re-construction processes: analysis of eva hoffman’s sociolinguistic autobiography

The present paper analyzes the novel by Eva Hoffman Lost in translation, translated into Italian in 1996 by Donzelli with the title Come si dice and republished in 2021 by Erickson with the title La lingua del tempo.  After exploring the poles of language and cultural identity, understood one as a tool and the other one as a relationship, the paper investigates the trajectory of second language learning (American English) by the author, examining the role of the language learning in the re-construction of her identity in migration. The results of the analysis can be useful in particular for those who work in multilingual contexts, both to decentralize their point of view with respect to the stereotypes and prejudices sometimes associated with second language learning in a migratory context, and to understand the complexity of the variables that determine the re-construction of the linguistic identity of all learners.
«È COME LEGGERE SOTTO L’EFFETTO DI SOSTANZE ALCOLICHE». LA DISLESSIA ATTRAVERSO LE AUTOBIOGRAFIE LINGUISTICHE DI UN GRUPPO DI STUDENTI CON DSA
Authors: Ghirarduzzi Andrea
Published: June 2023

Il contributo riporta i risultati di una ricerca sulle auto-rappresentazioni degli apprendenti di lingua che, tra il 2020 e il 2022, hanno frequentato i corsi di inglese rivolti a studenti universitari con DSA (Disturbi Specifici dell’Apprendimento) proposti dall’Università di Parma. I dati quantitativi e qualitativi sono stati ricavati da un corpus di autobiografie linguistiche redatte dagli studenti nel corso di un’attività didattica durante la prima parte del corso. La ricerca si concentra in particolare sulle rappresentazioni che gli studenti danno di se stessi e dei propri DSA, anche in relazione ai pari e alla famiglia. Le narrazioni, in cui spesso ricorrono espressioni originali e vengono evocate immagini insolite, sono analizzate anche alla luce della Teoria della Metafora e della Metonimia Concettuale (Lakoff, Johnson, 1980).

 

“It’s like reading under the effect of alcohol”. dyslexia through the linguistic autobiographies of a group of students with SLD

 The present paper presents the results of a research study on the self-representations of language learners who, between 2020 and 2022, attended English Courses designed for University Students with SLD (Specific Learning Needs) at the University of Parma. The quantitative and qualitative data were drawn from a set of language autobiographies written by the students during a learning activity in the first part of the course. In particular, the study focuses on the representation the students give of themselves and of their SLD, also with respect to their peers and their family. The narratives, which often resort to unique and diverse linguistic expressions, are also discussed in light of the Conceptual Metaphor and Metonymy Theory (Lakoff, Johnson, 1980).
LO SVILUPPO PROFESSIONALE DELL’EDUCATORE LINGUISTICO INCLUSIVO ATTRAVERSO L’OSSERVAZIONE E L’AUTO-OSSERVAZIONE: UNO STRUMENTO A PORTATA DI SGUARDO
Authors: Celentin Paola , De Luchi Maria
Published: June 2023

Questo contributo intende mettere l’accento sul ruolo dell’osservazione come strumento chiave per la formazione dell’educatore linguistico inclusivo inteso come professionista riflessivo. Dopo una breve disamina dell’importanza dell’osservazione nella formazione docente e della sua percezione da parte degli insegnanti, viene introdotto il termine “osservazione”, messo in relazione con il contesto scolastico italiano e agganciato alla dimensione della riflessione, attraverso una rassegna della letteratura in materia. Si passa quindi ad approfondire la dimensione osservativa, intesa come competenza dell’insegnante che si esplica non solo verso l’esterno ma anche (e forse soprattutto) in una pratica di auto-osservazione che diventa spinta circostanziata verso un’azione didattica efficace. Il contributo si conclude con una proposta di percorso (auto)formativo incentrato sulla riflessione e la decostruzione.

 

The professional development of the inclusive language educator through observation and self-observation: a tool within sight

This contribution aims to emphasize the role of observation as a key tool for the training of the inclusive language educator seen as a reflective professional. After a brief examination of the importance of observation in teacher training and its perception by teachers, the term “observation” is introduced, related to the Italian school context and linked to the dimension of reflection, through a review of the literature on the subject. We then move on to deepen the observational dimension, seen as the competence of the teacher expressed not only towards the outside but also (and perhaps above all) in a practice of self-observation that becomes a detailed push towards an effective didactic action. The contribution concludes with a proposal for a (self-)training path focused on reflection and deconstruction.
CORREGGERE E NON CORREGGERE. PRATICHE DIDATTICHE DICHIARATE DAI DOCENTI DI SCUOLA PRIMARIA
Authors: Ujcich Veronica
Published: June 2023

Dopo una contestualizzazione teorica volta a problematizzare l’approccio al tema della correzione, l’articolo presenta i risultati di una ricerca condotta tramite questionario online rivolto a docenti di scuola primaria. Alla ricerca hanno partecipato 200 docenti del territorio italiano rispondendo a 48 quesiti finalizzati a raccogliere informazioni sulle pratiche didattiche di correzione. I risultati evidenziano che si tratta di un campione di docenti esperti, propensi a considerare la correzione come una pratica che può emergere in diversi momenti del processo di scrittura in forme non solo scritte ma anche orali e partecipate. I docenti del campione, inoltre, considerano necessario adattare le modalità di correzione a seconda delle caratteristiche dei singoli alunni e ritengono che lo scopo della correzione sia piuttosto accompagnare i bambini a scrivere un testo più corretto che procedere a una valutazione.

 

To correct and not to correct. Teaching practices declared by primary school teachers

After a theoretical introduction aimed at problematising the approach to the topic of correction, the article presents the results of a research conducted by means of an online questionnaire addressed to primary school teachers in Italy. 200 teachers participated in the research by answering 48 questions aimed at gathering information on correction practices. The results show that the respondents are a group of experienced teachers, inclined to consider correction as a practice that can emerge at different moments during the writing process not only in written but also in oral and participatory forms. The teachers in the sample also consider it necessary to adapt their correction methods according to the characteristics of the individual pupils and believe that the purpose of correction is rather to support the children in writing a more correct text than to proceed to an evaluation.
AVERTIMENTI SOPRA LE REGOLE TOSCANE DI NICOLÒ TANI: TRADIZIONE E GRAMMATICOGRAFIA
Authors: De Silvis Valeria
Published: June 2023

Il presente contributo si propone di fornire un inquadramento storico e grammaticografico degli Avertimenti sopra le regole Toscane di Nicolò Tani, al fine di individuare, oltre ai tratti conformi alla tradizione delle grammatiche del primo Cinquecento, le peculiarità, le originalità e le innovazioni dell’opera. Per la prima volta questa grammatica viene analizzata in maniera organica sia nel suo insieme, sia nelle sue parti. Partendo, infatti, dalle limitate informazioni biografiche di Nicolò Tani, si passa all’analisi della tradizione testuale dell’opera, agli intenti dell’autore e alla dedica da costui redatta proponendo un prospetto completo della grammatica. Nell’analizzare nello specifico gli aspetti linguistici, ci si sofferma sulle parti del discorso, sulla morfologia verbale e sull’aderenza alla terminologia propria della grammatica latina, operando un costante confronto con le soluzioni adottate dai grammatici coevi all’autore, per meglio evidenziare gli elementi di continuità e le innovazioni proposte da Tani. Il raffronto con le altre opere è portato avanti anche inerentemente alle considerazioni sulle citazioni autoriali. Circa queste ultime, è stato effettuato uno spoglio, identificando all’interno della grammatica i passi tratti dal canone letterario, i quali sono poi schedati al fine di determinare quante siano le citazioni per ogni opera, da quali componimenti o prose è stato tratto il maggior numero di esemplificazioni e le modalità attraverso le quali Nicolò Tani cita gli autori.

 

Nicolò Tani’s “Avertimenti sopra le regole toscane”: tradition and grammarography

This contribution aims to provide a historical and grammatical overview of Nicolò Tani's Avertimenti sopra le regole Toscane, in order to identify, in addition to the features conforming to the tradition of early sixteenth-century grammars, the peculiarities, originalities and innovations of the work. For the first time this grammar is analyzed organically both as a whole and in its parts. Starting, in fact, from the limited biographical information of Nicolò Tani, we move on to the analysis of the textual tradition of the work, to the author's intentions, to the dedication he drafted by proposing a complete overview of the grammar. In specifically analyzing the linguistic aspects, we focus on the parts of speech, verbal morphology and adherence to the terminology of Latin grammar, making a constant comparison with the solutions adopted by grammarians coeval with the author, in order to highlight the elements of continuity and the innovations proposed by Tani. The comparison with the other works is also carried out with regard to considerations on authorial quotations. Concerning the latter, a perusal has been carried out, identifying within the grammar the passages taken from the literary canon, which are then filed in order to determine how many quotations there are for each work, from which compositions or proses the greatest number of exemplifications have been taken, and the ways through which Nicolò Tani quotes authors.

 This article aims to analyze the acquisition of idiomatic expressions when learning Italian as a foreign or second language and hypothesizes a possible teaching activity that allows the examination of this acquisition process by French native speaker learners. In the first section, a detailed analysis of this kind of locution and its role in the global learning of a foreign or second language is performed. Afterward, the article examines a recent case study, the work of Vicky Mazoua Megni Tchio about Cameroonian learners of Italian. The article concludes by proposing educational material that should stimulate students to a conscious use of the interlingual influence to solve the introduced exercises.
What Is Political Sociology, When Politics Is Everywhere?
Authors: Herberg Jeremias , Seeliger Martin , Möller Kolja
Published: June 2023

It has become commonplace (although never without risks!) to state that something is political. However, the conceptual and empirical solidity of this claim has become increasingly challenging due to the formulation of increasingly complex concepts and research methodologies. The notion of the political has itself become subject to political disagreement. Can political sociology keep up with the politicisation of everything, and the manifold approaches that are emerging to understand such a world? Can the field retain its capacity to bring together diverse views and issues? With the Journal of Political Sociology (JPS) we want to establish a home for the study of the political in all its forms.
Gaia and Political Sociology
Authors: Gertenbach Lars
Published: June 2023

If one had to discern a center of gravity in Bruno Latour’s voluminous and multi-layered work, one could find it in the question of the political. At first glance, this may seem unexpected. After all, it is only with his decidedly political texts since the turn of the millennium that many have become aware of the political dimension of his work. Yet, Latour’s most recent work leaves no doubt that there is no way around the topic of politics (anymore) in the discussion of his writings in general. Given the death of Bruno Latour on October 9, 2022, this genuinely political dimension of his work will be re-examined in the following. In doing so, I would like to address some strands of Latour’s political sociology while emphasizing that he is to be understood as a political sociologist through and through – and not just in passing.
Rational use of corticosteroid treatment in the early phase of severe COVID-19
Authors: Ratanarat Ranistha , Thitayanapong Anutr
Published: June 2023

Mechanisms of hypoxemia in COVID-19 pneumonia include pulmonary inflammation, alveolar collapse, atelectasis, and pulmonary intravascular coagulopathy due to a hyperinflammatory response to SARS-CoV-2 infection. Systemic corticosteroids are widely applied as a standard treatment for hospitalized COVID-19 patients after several studies have shown favorable outcomes. However, the standard dosing and tailoring of corticosteroids in COVID-19 patients have not been established. Differences in dosing and timing of corticosteroid use may affect the outcome of COVID-19 patients. Inappropriate use of corticosteroids can lead to less benefit and potentially harmful adverse events. Dexamethasone is the most widely used corticosteroid as a result of the positive outcome from the RECOVERY study and its high anti-inflammatory potency. Although several studies have shown the benefit of higher dose corticosteroids in severe COVID-19 patients, serious adverse events associated with the use of corticosteroids, such as superimposed bacterial and/or fungal infections, have also been observed. Therefore, in this article, we reviewed current evidence of corticosteroid usage in COVID-19 patients and suggested a strategy for tailoring corticosteroid usage according to the clinical severity and risk of the patients.

Published: June 2023

Objective: The study purpose was to describe secondary school nurses’, subject teachers’, special needs teachers’, study counselors’ and school social workers’ (n = 60) experiences of stressors that contribute to the development of mental health problems in secondary school pupils. Another purpose was to describe the professionals’ educational needs regarding mental health problems of secondary school pupils. The study aimed at producing information that can promote the detection of mental health problems and facilitate early interventions in secondary schools. The information collected came from the professionals only, not from the pupils or their parents.Methods: Data were collected in Finland using a Webropol online survey and analyzed by inductive content analysis.Results: According to the results, secondary school pupils’ mental health problems are associated with physical and psychosocial stressors, and with stressors pertaining to learning and studying, lifestyle, family, friend relationships and socioeconomic factors. In addition, the pupils’ mental health problems are associated with stressors pertaining to social media. Professionals working at secondary schools need education on how to identify pupils’ mental health problems, how to take up the concern with the pupil and parents, and how to support and counsel youth with a mental health problem.Conclusions: Although information packages, recommendations, materials and tools are available, encouragement and more specific and concrete mental health education for both pupils and professionals is required. New structures and practices, and possibly re-allocation of resources, may be necessary. The teachers’ role in mental health promotion and prevention of mental health problems should be supported and resourced more effectively. Psychiatric nurses should be employed at schools.
New nurses’ transition to practice experience after completion of the enhancement training program in the Sultanate of Oman
Authors: Al Hajri Azza , Battashi Moza Al
Published: June 2023

In 2021, the Directorate General of Nursing Affairs (DGNA) at the Ministry of Health (MOH) in the Sultanate of Oman has established a 12-month training program for new nursing graduates known as the Enhancement Training Program (ETP). The program aims to intensively train novice nurses in seven critical specialties and equip them with the specialty knowledge, skills, and professional competence required to deliver safe and specialized care to critically ill patients. This study aims to determine the levels of confidence, comfort, satisfaction, stress, and experiences of transition-to-practice among nurses who completed the program successfully, and to assess the differences in the levels of confidence, comfort, satisfaction, stress, and experiences of transition-to-practice among the nurses participated in different specialties. The study sample target the first cohort of nurses who participated in the ETP from June 2021 to June 2022 and passed the program successfully (n = 313). Casey-Fink Graduate Nurse Experience Survey was utilized to evaluate the experiences of the participating nurses. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 29 software used to analyze the collected data by performing descriptive analysis using means and standard deviations. Inferential analysis (analysis of variance [ANOVA]) was conducted to assess the variance between the groups so as to identify any statistical differences among the means of all the specialty groups. The findings of this study provide evidence supporting the effectiveness of the ETP in boosting the confidence, comfort, and satisfaction of novice nurses.
Access to the upper third of the face: a literary review of indications, techniques, and intercurrences
Authors: Rezende Lucas Soares , Sena Sobrinho Marcelo Alves de , Beneti Igor Mariotto
Published: June 2023

Due to its location, anatomy, and projection in the upper third of the face, the frontal bone is frequently affected by trauma of different intensities that result in fractures. Access to the upper third of the face for the correct reduction and stabilization of the trauma requires an extensive approach. The main alternatives for correct exposure are coronal and transcutaneous incisions. The coronal incision is the incision of choice, as it allows us to adequately approach important structures related to fractures of the frontal bone. The transcutaneous incisions, these incisions comprise the region of the eyebrow, upper eyelid, eyebrow, and gull-wing incision and, when present, lacerations in the soft tissue of the trauma itself can be used as access to the fractures. The present work aimed to describe, through a literature review, the accesses to the upper third of the face, as well as to report the techniques and intercurrences. Even though it is the main choice for coronal access, it can cause alopecia, loss of sensitivity, compromised aesthetics, muscle depression, possible need for postoperative blood transfusion, facial nerve deficit, and supratrochlear deficit, among others. The alternatives are transcutaneous incisions, these incisions include the region of the eyebrow, upper eyelid, eyebrow, and gull-wing incision and, when present, lacerations in the soft tissue of the trauma itself can be used as access to the fractures. It was concluded that although coronal access is the main choice, the choice of incision depends on the location of the fracture, the presence of laceration, its extension, its relationship with other fractures, and surgeon preference, in addition to aesthetic factors.

Introduction: Besides the aspects of oral physiological functions, visual appearance and aesthetics have been addressed as an important factors in this type of therapy. In restorative dentistry, a pleasant aesthetic has been described as a blending of natural dentition and prosthetic elements, in addition to the identification, adaptation, and correct conditioning of these elements with the marginal and peripheral tissues. Objective: The present study aimed to present the main factors supporting aesthetic excellence before and after the rehabilitation of former regions' use of dental implants. Methods: The systematic review rules of the PRISMA Platform were followed. The search was carried out from February to May 2023 in the Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct, Scielo, and Google Scholar databases, using articles from 1985 to 2022. The quality of the studies was based on the GRADE instrument and the risk of bias was analyzed according to the Cochrane instrument. Results and Conclusion: A total of 98 articles were found, 38 articles were evaluated in full and 31 were included and developed in this systematic review study. Considering the Cochrane tool for risk of bias, the overall assessment resulted in 10 studies with a high risk of bias and 30 studies that did not meet GRADE. It is important to know the biological structures of the soft and hard tissues around an osseointegrated dental implant (peri-implant referred to as peri-implant phenotype), in the context of peri-implant esthetic complications. Aesthetics has become a primary factor in the patient's expectations, and the duty of the surgeon's professional knowledge of the fundamental aspects in achieving this aspect of a correct treatment plan to meet the appropriate restorative and surgical protocols, thus being able to achieve satisfactory results is required. It notes that all efforts should be aimed at the final result.

Peralatan sistem tenaga seperti transformator distribusi memiliki umur desain yang ditentukan oleh perusahaan manufaktur sehingga dapat beroperasi dalam kurun waktu tertentu. Namun sejalan dengan pemakaiannya dilapangan, umur transformator distribusi tersebut dapat berkurang atau bertambah dari umur desainnya. Umur transformator dapat berkurang akibat beberapa hal. Salah satu penyebab berkurangnya umur penggunaan transformator adalah pembebanan, pembebanan mengakibatkan peningkatan temperatur pada transformator. Panas yang timbul mengakibatkan terjadinya penguraian dari bahan-bahan transformator yang dapat mempercepat proses penuaan suatu transformator. Terjadinya panas yang terlalu tinggi akan dapat merubah sifat konstruksi bagian-bagian transformator. Setiap kenaikan sekitar 6°C dari batas yang diizinkan akan mengakibatkan berkurangnya umur. Kenaikan suhu ini harus dibatasi. Isolasi dari penghantar (conductor) pada belitan transformator akan mengakibatkan kerusakan jika dikenai suhu yang tinggi. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah, (i) menghitung seberapa besar presentasi sisa umur pakai transformator distribusi setelah digunakan sekian tahun. (ii) menghitung prediksi umur pakai transformator distribusi untuk setiap transformator yang digunakan. Penelitian ini di laksanakan pada PT. PLN Area Ambon, khususnya pada transformator distribusi yang terpasang pada penyulang/feeder Laha, dengan jumlah total transformator ada 18unit yang terdiri dari transformator tiga phasa dengan kapasitas (rating) 50 kVA 6unit, 100 kVA 4unit, 160 kVA 7 unit, dan 200 kVA 1 unit, terdapat 10unit transformator yang terbeban di atas 80% dari rating daya transformator. Dari hasil perhitungan yang dilakukan pada transformator yang memiliki beban 80÷100%, diperoleh bahwa susut umur pada transformator masih normal atau tidak banyak berpengaruh pada umur pemakaian transformator. Rata-rata perkiraan sisa umur transformator masih di atas 20 tahun atau masih sesuai standard.
