Published: August 2022

Superovulation is a necessary technique to produce large number of embryos for embryo` transfer. Hormonal treatment is superovulation methode can be done by implant CIDR and injection of Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH). Experiment were carried out to observe the effectiveness of subcutaneous and intramuscular FSH injections on superovulation response in simmental cattle. All animal (n=10) were treated with intravaginal CIDR implant before FSH injection. Studies were devided into two experiment ie: P1 (400 mg FSH diluted in 4 ml sterile diluent) injected in five simmental cattle by single subcutan injection and P2 (400 mg FSH diluted in 20 ml sterile diluent) injected in five simmental cattle by twice daily intramuscular injection over 4 day in decreasing doses. The number of corposa luteal (CL), total embryos collected, and total transferable embryos were observed in this experiment. Data were analyzed by T-test method. The result showed that effectiveness of single subcutan FSH injection were significanthy different (P < 0,05) than intramuscular FSH injection superovulation with single subcutan FSH injetcion is easier than twice daily intramuscular injection in decreasy dose. In conclusion the average of CL (21,4 ± 3,6) and number of tranferable embryo (71,96 %) of the single subcutan FSH injection tended to be better than intramuscular FSH injection. Single subcutan FSH injection more efficient than intramuscular FSH injection. Single subcutan injection can decreasing sterss level in the cattle and be easier in handling the cattle during the experiment.Keywords: Simmental cattle, FSH, superovulation, single subcutan injection, intramuscular injection.

Torch ginger flower which functions as antibiotic and antioxidant is potential to be used as feed additive in ration to improve local duck production.  This study was aimed at assessing the effects of the inclusion of torch ginger flower solution in rations on the percentages of carcass and meat commercial cuts of male local ducks.  The study was conducted at Poultry Laboratory of Department of Animal Husbandry, Faculty of Agriculture, Djuanda University, Bogor from June to August 2016.  Twenty-four male local ducks aged 2 weeks with mean initial body weight of 450±70.35 g were used.  Ducks were fed basal rations containing 20–22% crude protein.    Torch ginger flower solution was included in the rations.  Ducks were allocated into battery cages of 150 x 40 cm each.  A completely randomized design with 4 treatments and 3 replicates was used.  Treatments consisted of commercial ration (PK) + 0% torch ginger flower solution (LBK) (R1), PK + 2.5% LBK (R2), PK + 5% LBK (R3), and PK + 7.5% LBK (R4).  Measurements were taken on the percentage of carcass and meat commercial cuts (wing, breast, back, thigh).  Data were subjected to an analysis of variance and a Duncan test.  Results showed that treatments gave significant effects (P<0.05) on carcass percentage but not on meat commercial cuts.  It was concluded that the inclusion of torch ginger flower solution in rations of up to 7.5% increased carcass percentage and tended to increase breast and thigh percentages.  It was suggested that the inclusion of torch ginger flower solution in rations be done by 5% to result in higher and more economical duck meat commercial cuts (breast and thigh). Key words: carcass percentage, commercial cuts, male local duck, torch ginger flower solution
Fake News and Internet Shutdowns in Indonesia: Symptoms of Failure to Uphold Democracy
Authors: Rahman Rofi Aulia , Tang Shu-Mei
Published: August 2022

The Indonesian government limited or shut down internet access during separate riots in Jakarta and Papua in 2019. The justification for blocking the internet and disabling certain features of social media platforms was to quell the unrest by ceasing the spread of fake news. Nevertheless, the government did not declare a state of emergency in response to either situation, triggering debate on whether the internet restrictions had any strong constitutional basis or if they were out of proportion and unconstitutional. This study evaluates the government’s policy on internet shutdowns to reduce the spread of fake news amid riots, and explicates when the state of emergency “feature” might be activated. The research method of this article is a doctrinal legal approach, which critically examines whether the government policy was excessive, and to what extent a state of emergency can be implemented by minimum standard requirements. The result of this study shows the riots in Jakarta and Papua ought not be categorized as national threats; hence, the internet shutdown was out of proportion. Fake news is part of the price we pay for a free society; thus the article argues that an internet shutdown is not a proper way to combat fakenews. Furthermore, the government has failed to fulfill the minimum standards to justify the internet shutdowns. Access to the internet is a new face of democratic pillars, so blocking internet access without any sufficient legal instruments and correct constitutional interpretation might indicate symptoms of a failure to uphold democracy.

Common Statistical and Methodological Errors in Scientific Investigations: A Simple Guide to Avoid Invalid Conclusions and Unfounded Decisions
Authors: Rovetta Alessandro
Published: August 2022

During my experience as an author, peer reviewer, and editor in the course of COVID-19, I have encountered – and committed – various types of errors related to the interpretation and use of statistical measures and tests. Primarily concerning sciences such as epidemiology, infodemiology, and public health, the evidence used to inform a conclusion carries an extremely high weight since it translates into decisions made to preserve the population's well-being. Ergo, the above evidence must be reliable. In this regard, this short guide discusses the most common and dangerous mistakes I have experienced during my scientific journey. In particular, this framework makes it clear that a statistical test alone cannot answer any scientific questions. Indeed, interpretation of results and the verification of assumptions and test eligibility – subject to the author’s evaluation – are crucial components of the integrity of the scientific investigation. Therefore, before using a test or adopting a measure, we must ask ourselves the following fundamental questions: i) are there valid reasons to explore my research question? ii) am I sure that my approach can fully and properly answers my research question? iii) am I sure that all the assumptions of my model – basic and hidden – are sufficiently satisfied? iv) how could violating those assumptions affect the validity of the results and the stakeholders? v) is the effect size relevant regardless of statistical significance?
Towards a psychology of divine forgiveness: 2. Initial component analysis
Authors: Fincham Frank
Published: August 2022

Although divine forgiveness has given rise to a small but growing body of empirical research, no attempt has been made to describe the processes involved when a person seeks divine forgiveness. The present paper therefore sets out to identify the salient elements or “moving parts” in the human quest for divine forgiveness. Starting from the entry point of what triggers a person to seek divine forgiveness several steps are outlined culminating in the recalibration of behavior that can result from perceived forgiveness offered by a Supreme Being or Higher Power. The model integrates cognitive, emotional, and behavioral dimensions involved in the human experience of divine forgiveness. In addition, the relevance of this analysis for other fields of research in developmental, social, and clinical psychology is briefly illustrated. The paper concludes by reiterating the heuristic goal of the model to stimulate research and acknowledging its need for revision as such research proceeds.
Do Pre-Registration and Pre-analysis Plans Reduce p-Hacking and Publication Bias?
Authors: Brodeur Abel , Cook Nikolai , Hartley Jonathan , Heyes Anthony
Published: August 2022

Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are increasingly prominent in economics, with pre-registration and pre-analysis plans (PAPs) promoted as important in ensuring the credibility of findings. We investigate whether these tools reduce the extent of p-hacking and publication bias by collecting and studying the universe of test statistics, 15,992 in total, from RCTs published in 15 leading economics journals from 2018 through 2021. In our primary analysis, we find no meaningful difference in the distribution of test statistics from pre-registered studies, compared to their non-pre-registered counterparts. However, pre-registered studies that have a complete PAP are significantly less p-hacked. These results point to the importance of PAPs, rather than pre-registration in itself, in ensuring credibility.
The combination of reporting bias and underpowered study designs has substantially exaggerated the motor learning benefits of self-controlled practice and enhanced expectancies: A meta-analysis
Authors: McKay Brad , Bacelar Mariane , Parma Juliana Otoni , Miller Matthew W , Carter Michael J
Published: August 2022

Enhanced expectancies and autonomy-support through self-controlled practice conditions form the motivation pillar of OPTIMAL theory (Wulf & Lewthwaite, 2016). The influence of these practice variables on motor learning was recently evaluated in two separate meta-analyses. Both meta-analyses found that the published literature suggested a moderate and significant benefit on motor learning; however, evidence for reporting bias was found in both literatures. Although multiple bias-corrected estimates were reported in the self-controlled meta-analysis, there was no principled way to prefer one over the other. In the enhanced expectancies meta-analysis, the trim-and-fill-technique failed to correct the estimated effects. Here, we addressed these limitations by reanalyzing the data from both meta-analyses using robust Bayesian meta-analysis methods. Our reanalysis revealed that reporting bias substantially exaggerated the benefits of these practice variables in the original meta-analyses. The true effects are instead small, uncertain, and potentially null. We also found the estimated average statistical power among all studies from the original meta-analyses was 6% (95% confidence interval [5%, 13%]). These results provide compelling and converging evidence that strongly suggests the available literature is insufficient to support the motivation pillar of OPTIMAL theory. Our results highlight the need for adequately powered experimental designs if motor learning scientists want to make evidence-based recommendations.

Background: Cognitive symptoms are common during and following episodes of depression. Little is known about the persistence of self-reported and performance-based cognition with depression and functional outcomes. Methods: This is a secondary analysis of a prospective naturalistic observational clinical cohort study of individuals with recurrent Major Depressive Disorder (MDD; N=623). Participants completed app-based self-reported and performance-based cognitive function assessments alongside validated measures of depression, functional disability, and self-esteem every three months. Participants were followed-up for a maximum of 2-years. Multilevel hierarchically nested modelling was employed to explore between- and within-participant variation over time to identify whether persistent cognitive difficulties are related to levels of depression and functional impairment during follow-up.Results: 508 individuals (81.5%) provided data (mean age: 46.6, SD: 15.6; 76.2% female). Increasing persistence of self-reported cognitive difficulty was associated with higher levels of depression and functional impairment throughout the follow-up. In comparison to low persistence of objective cognitive difficulty (<25% of timepoints), those with high persistence (>75% of timepoints) reported significantly higher levels of depression (B=5.17, SE=2.21, p=0.019) and functional impairment (B=4.82, SE=1.79, p=0.002) over time. Examination of the individual cognitive modules shows that persistently impaired executive function is associated with worse functioning, and poor processing speed is particularly important for worsened depressive symptoms.Conclusions: We replicated previous findings of greater persistence of cognitive difficulty with increasing severity of depression and further demonstrate that these cognitive difficulties are associated with pervasive functional disability. Difficulties with cognition may be an indicator and target for further treatment input.
Writing girls through girls’ magazines: (En)gendering childhood, 1895–1912
Authors: Suzuki Wakako
Published: August 2022

Throughout Japanese literary history, though the shōjo genre (a genre for girls) was often marginalized, it evolved and was renewed at every stage in the development of print media, blending with another or several different genres. This article examines how the circulation of girls’ magazines such as Shōjokai (Girls’ Sphere) shaped girls’ reading communities to accompany the sense of national belonging that arose in tandem with the reinforcement of gender ideologies. An analysis of Shōjokai will show how, why and by whom images of desirable female ‘little citizens’ were constructed, fractured and expressed through print media. As the first girls’ magazine, Shōjokai delineated how the reading and writing of girls opened up a new arena in which subscribers expressed their ideas and opinions without constrains while understanding the value of being good ‘little citizens’. Thus, the development of girls’ communities created tensions between universal principles of love and national consciousness, illuminating the ways in which the discourse of modern girlhood alternately negated and affirmed their association with fluid communities for ‘little citizens’.
The Effect of Community Organizing on Landlords’ Use of Eviction Filing: Evidence from U.S. Cities
Authors: Messamore Andrew
Published: August 2022

Eviction filing rates have declined in many large cities in the United States. Existing scholarship on eviction, which focuses on discrete tenant-landlord relationships, has few explanations for why. In this article I consider whether community organizing by nonprofit organizations shapes the social organizations of communities and causes landlords to file fewer eviction filings. In cities where tenant and anti-poverty organizing has become common, community-oriented nonprofit organizations advocate for disadvantaged communities and help residents avoid poverty. Community organizing has rarely been studied as a predictor of housing security among low-income tenants, though, despite studies of how community organizing shapes the use of property in wealthy neighborhoods. I estimate the causal effect of community organizations on eviction filing rates between 2000 and 2016 using longitudinal data and a strategy to account for the endogeneity of nonprofits and eviction. Evidence from year-to-year models in 75 large cities spanning 16 years estimate that an addition of 10 community nonprofits in a city of 100,000 residents is associated with a 10 percent reduction in eviction filing. This effect is comparable to the effect of community organizations on murder and is roughly a third of the association between eviction and concentrated disadvantage.

Published: August 2022

African print fabrics is commonly referred to as Ankara fabrics. It is a major textile product produced in Nigeria, which has the high economic value. This study focused on the customary practices in the African print fabric design process in the Nigerian textile industry. The study adopted survey research design. The population of the study comprised of African print fabric designers in the functioning textile companies in Nigeria. Ten African print fabric designers were sampled. Questionnaires and interviews were used for data collection. The data collected was analyzed using descriptive statistical tools. The study revealed that textile companies in Nigeria do not have value for quality designers, intellectual property right and originality of designs. It was recommended that the design institutes and professional design bodies should intervene in the design process in the Nigerian textile industry so as to generate designs that are original and capable of promoting the Nigerian textile industry.
Indigenous Characters and Their Nation: A Socio-Political Analysis of Selected Nepali Plays
Authors: Rijal Shiva
Published: August 2022

The rise of modern Nepali intellectuals especially in Kathmandu during the 1930s inspired many writers and political leaders to articulate new narratives of the nation. For instance, Balkrishna Sama’s Mukunda Indira, Bhimnidhi Tiwari’s Sahanshila Sushila (Permissive Sushila) present characters from various strata of Nepali society. In the plays, indigenous communities speak about the psycho-social realities of the time. The indigenous characters of the plays are humble and hardworking. But in the play Simma written by Rayan right before the 1980 referendum, the time the Panchayat regime became stronger and kept denying the people’s democratic rights the indigenous characters in plays become politically vocal. They question the polity based on modern social and political theories. However, the indigenous characters of Mayadevika Sapana (Dreams of Mayadevi) written by Abhi Subedi and staged in 2004 and later years speak for the universal peace and brotherhood. By drawing upon Ludwig Stiller and Mahesh Chandra Regmi’s social, economic and political interpretation of Nepal’s history, particularly of the nineteenth century, the article concludes that while presenting the indigenous characters, the playwrights directly and indirectly address the social and political ills of the Nepal society. These indigenous characters' attitude towards their masters and the representatives of the state around reflects the political and historical courses that Nepal has gone through over the centuries and the rise of a force that might free them from such lines of control.
The Mystery of Akudaaya in Yoruba Films: Interrogating Death and Destiny in Aye Loja, Directed by Seun Olaiva
Authors: Adegbamigbe Abayomi Agboade
Published: August 2022

The study of afterlife has remained within the mythic mode because of its non-empirical but impelling nature. Many scholars insist that death cannot be annihilative and the debate is intensified as Wole Soyinka proposes robust African perspectives on existential issues of life and death. Akudaaya (‘transmigrated soul’) describes people returning to life after death, a phenomenon, which is regularly explored in Yoruba films. This paper expounds the mysteries surrounding this Akudaaya and the dramatic/filmic techniques deployed to present the phenomenon. It also addresses how Yoruba films have presented the phenomenon to define the relationship between death and destiny. With the film directed by Seun Olaiya and titled Aye Loja as the primary text, more information is accessed through interaction with notable traditionalists, and relevant works in literature, religion and philosophy were consulted. While Akudaaya remains a mystery, the phenomenon is discovered to be driven by unfulfilled destiny. Akudaaya is therefore seen as a metaphor for the continuity of life in death and a measure through which the conflict between death and destiny is mediated.
The Interface between Environmental Hostility and Human Perversity in Bapsi Sidhwa’s The Pakistani Bride
Authors: Mishra Samita
Published: August 2022

Ecocriticism is popularly thought of as a unidirectional exercise for preserving nature in its pristine and uncontaminated form. This view is grossly reductive because ecosystems are many, not one, local and not global. The natural green world is not always necessarily friendly to human aspirations. In fact, ‘green’ is the colour of falsehood, unreliability and deception in medieval English literature. The colonial medical discourses also endorse this diversity of the natural world. In these discourses, the tropical world of the European colonies is described as a ‘diseased world’ in contrast to the sanitized temperate world of the west. Since the boundary between humans and the environment is porous, human nature is perverted in environments hostile to human habitation. Bapsi Sidhwa’s The Pakistani Bride documents the interrelationship between the arid, bleak and closed world of mountains in Kohistan and the perversity of the isolated pockets of feuding tribes that inhabited it. It foregrounds that it is impossible to improve human nature if we simply surrender to uncontrollable natural forces and abandon all efforts to ameliorate our living conditions. It is, therefore, essential to realize that ecocriticism is not merely concerned with the protection of pristine external nature. It is an effort to reframe our interactions with nature not as mastery but as negotiation. If human-made changes have endangered the life-supporting systems of the world, we should instead, as Rachel Carson urges, explore what alternatives are available to us.
Legal and social aspects of migrant employment in Turkey
Authors: Yildiz Gaye Burcu
Published: August 2022

For over a decade, Turkey has been facing mass influx of Syrian citizens – besides Afghans, Iraqis, and Iranians – who are seeking international protection. This humanitarian problem has many different aspects, e.g., providing housing, employment, health services, and education. The general rule regarding the accommodation of refugees and asylum seekers is temporary accommodation centres. But this cannot be realised in the Syrian migrants’ case due to their massive numbers. Turkey is hosting 3,6 million Syrians under the temporary protection status. This international protection type does not give them the right to work per se. Like other foreigners who want to work in Turkey, Syrians have to apply for a work permit. In practice, many of the Syrians work informally, which causes major infringements of fundamental rights. Besides the legal aspect, this problem has to be handled by the cooperation of different fields of social sciences, especially by sociology and public policy. The implementation of legal instruments will not solve the social problems unless the integration of the migrants to the host community is realised with appropriate public incentives. This paper examines the national legislation concerning migrant workers. Following this examination, the author analyses the actual situation deriving from practice, based on prior research and reports of national and international organizations.

ЕКЗИСТЕНЦІЙНА ПСИХОЛОГІЯ КРИЗОВИХ СТАНІВ ОСОБИСТОСТІ: ТРИВОГА ТА ВИНА В ПЕРЕЖИВАННІ ВИБОРУ МАЙБУТНЬОГО
Authors: Живоглядов Ю.О. , Носаль Л.Г.
Published: August 2022

В статті пропонується спроба теоретико-прикладного аналізу екзистенційної тривоги та провини особистості, яка знаходиться в кризовій ситуації, спричиненій війною. У даній статті вважаємо за необхідне цілеспрямовано розглянути стосунки з майбутнім в переживанні тривоги та вини в кризовій ситуації, що характеризується суттєвою невизначеністю. Це є не тільки важливою науковою проблемою, але й найсерйознішою задачею української реальності. Теоретичний аналіз переживання особистістю екзистенційної тривоги та провини в ситуації невизначеності показав важливість часової спрямованості тривоги, емоційний рівень якої безпосередньо корелює із ступенем невизначеності майбутнього. Психологічний аналіз цього феномену дозволив визначити чинники його виникнення та особливості прояву в ситуації екзистенційної кризи. Обґрунтовано взаємозв’язок провини та тривоги в ситуації вибору особистістю своєї життєвої перспективи. Описані психологічні особливості формування емоційно-тривожних станів, а також їх вплив на повсякденне життя особистості. Психологічно обґрунтовується взаємозв’язок переживання тривоги та провини в залежності від свідомого вибору часової орієнтації особистості. Особистість здатна зробити свій усвідомлений екзистенційний вибір щодо спрямованості на майбутнє або на минуле, причому, вибір минулого робиться як вибір «незмінності», коли в переживанні особистості набирає чинності емоція вини за втрачені можливості. У результаті людина виявляється перед вибором: прийняти провину чи, вибираючи майбутнє, витримати тривогу. Почуття провини пов’язане з неприйняттям відповідальності за власне життя та реалізацію свого потенціалу і можливостей. Тривале переживання екзистенційної провини здатне спричинити гальмування особистісного розвитку, адже це змушує особистість розмірковувати над втраченими можливостями, примушуючи себе замислюватися над своєю слабкістю і безвідповідальністю. Тобто, вибираючи незмінність, сталість, людина опиняється в ситуації, коли вона переживає не тільки провину за нереалізовані можливості, та й, водночас, зменшує вірогідність знайти сенс свого життя. Психологічний аналіз цієї ситуації показує ціннісні наслідки особистісного вибору: «планування» майбутнього в ситуації суттєвої невизначеності та екстраполяція вже пережитого досвіду, що веде до нівелювання власних творчих потенцій, виявляються неефективними. Єдиною потенційно результативною стратегією може бути життєва стратегія «діалогу» з майбутнім, яка передбачає здатність готовності до істотної невизначеності та непередбачуваності, яка пов’язана із здатністю коректувати свої плани.
Cruise tourism directed to natural and cultural landscape areas in the Black Sea Basin
Authors: BEKCİ Banu
Published: August 2022

Cruise tourism and tourism routes directed to the natural and cultural landscape areas of the region constitute the paradigm of this study, which is considered as an alternative tourism type in the Black Sea basin. With this paradigm developed for international port cities that have coasts on the Black Sea basin, each dynamic of the cultural, social, and economic values of the cities at national and international levels are approached as a phenomenon in this study. In this study, the results obtained by correlating the cognitive states of individuals resulting from the "natural sociability-social experience-social environment" approach in touristic travel with the cruise tourism type in the Black Sea basin are examined with empirical methods. In addition to correlation and regression analysis, landscape planning and design criteria are also used in route planning to reveal the causal relationships between cruise tourism experiences and people's destination loyalty. Both the sustainability of the attraction of natural and cultural landscape areas in destination loyalty and the positive conscience gained from the tourism experiences the people are examined with proactive solution suggestions in this study. In this context, with cruise tourism, which is suggested as an alternative tourism type for cities on the coast of the Black Sea basin, a management model for touristic routes is developed by providing opportunities both for the people to experience different tourism activities and the development of regional tourism.
Building a digital republic to reduce health disparities and improve population health in the United States
Authors: Muennig Peter , Pabayo Roman , Courtin Emilie
Published: August 2022

Income, schooling, and healthcare are key ingredients for optimizing human’s ecological niche for survival. But most government programs that are designed to provide a hand up in these domains are difficult to access. While many Americans struggle to pay taxes, few understand the difficulties associated with enrolling in Medicaid, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families. A remarkably small percentage of needy families receive the social benefits to which they are entitled, and that percentage is smaller for those most in need (those with physical disabilities, caregiving responsibilities). To address this problem, the Child Tax Credit in the American Rescue Plan provided automatic enrollment and worked hard to locate more low-income families. But until everyone has a digital footprint that allows automated enrollment, the sickest and most vulnerable citizens will remain in the informal sector. By expanding data systems so that all Americans have a digital identity across multiple datasets, it not only becomes possible for all Americans to simplify their lives but for welfare services to work for the most vulnerable, as they are intended. This commentary explores how creating a digital republic might improve population health and reduce health disparities in the US.

Authors: Zainal Sylvi Meidika , Tarumun Suardi , Tety Ermi
Published: August 2022

Pineapple is one of the leading commodities of the Indonesian horticultural sub-sector which has been known around the world and has the potential to be used as a mainstay export commodity in international trade. This research aims to analyze the competitiveness and factors that affect Indonesian pineapple exports in the international market. The analytical methods used are quantitative methods, namely estimation of competitiveness and factors that affect Indonesia's pineapple exports in several destination countries using Export Product Dynamic (EPD), multiple linear regression analysis, and classic assumption deviation tests. Indonesia's pineapple export destinations are Bahrain, Japan, Kuwait, Qatar, Singapore, and United Arab Emirates. Based on the estimated export product dynamic index (EPD) shows that the Indonesian pineapple export destination market position has strong competitiveness and occupies a Rising Star position so that it can continue to maintain its marketing, then occupy the position of Retreat then not potentially export due to the decrease in export share and declining export demand compared to competitive countries, namely Thailand and the Philippines. Then, based on the estimated multiple linear regression it is shown that Indonesian pineapple price to US dolar has a significant effect on Indonesian pineapple export volume, while Indonesian pineapple productivity and Indonesian pineapple export value have no significant effect on Indonesian pineapple export volume.

Getting Better: A Systematic Functional Interpretation of Grief Through a Song
Authors: Cruz-Reyna Rafael
Published: August 2022

This article presents an analysis of the song Get Better by British band Alt-J. The song was written amid the pandemic caused by the COVID-19 virus. It mainly represents grief after the loss of a beloved person from the perspective of the bereaved. The analysis was conducted using the Systemic Functional Linguistics framework by Halliday with an emphasis on the three metafunctions: ideational, interpersonal and textual. The findings of the analysis determined that the song depicted a few of the occurrences that some people unfortunately had to experience after unforeseeable death of a loved one and how they managed to overcome grief.
Синтез планетарних механізмів типу AI з врахуванням кутів зачеплення для зв'язаних та незв'язаних коліс
Authors: Heresh Tatiana , Kavetsky Sergey
Published: August 2022

The subject matter of this article is the processes of synthesis of planetary gear mechanisms of AI type with uncoupled and coupled wheels to solve the problems of gear wheel design. The goal is to develop the synthesis of planetary mechanisms of AI type, considering the possible values of engagement angles and with predetermined quality indicators of gear pairs at the stage of design. The tasks are to develop a methodology of planetary mechanism synthesis of type AI, to find general equations, considering the dependence of the number of teeth on the engagement angles for mechanisms of this type with uncoupled and coupled wheels with additional synthesis parameters, which would give the possibility of performing the synthesis of the planetary mechanism to guarantee the necessary engagement angles of the cogwheels. The methods used are ones for solving the system of linear parametric equations, which is obtained from the general equations of the synthesis of planetary mechanisms. The following results were obtained: the general equations for the mechanism of type AI, which consider the parameters of the geometrical calculation of the gear pairs that make up the mechanism have been obtained. The research on received general equations has been carried out and the area of existence of planetary mechanisms of AI type for different engagement angles of pairs of coupled and uncoupled wheels has been constructed. From the results of synthesis, it can be seen that the range of existence of planetary mechanisms is significantly expanded, which makes it possible to realize a wider range of transmission ratio for each number of satellites and get additional numbers of teeth of the planetary mechanism, which cannot be found using the classical methods. Conclusions. The scientific novelty of the results obtained in the study consists of the following: the considered approach of synthesis with an account of engagement angles makes it possible not only to obtain additional combinations of numbers of teeth of planetary gear but also in further calculations to jointly use the existing locking contours for each pair of wheels, as well as to assess in advance the possibility of cutting the gears whose engagement angles will satisfy the selected parameter at the stage of synthesis of the planetary mechanism.
Use of mathematical modeling for solving tasks of optimal control of an electric drive
Authors: Miroshnychenko Halyna
Published: August 2022

The object of study in this article is the control processes of electromechanical systems with an electric drive. The subject matter is a mathematical model in the problem of optimal control of the following electric drive. This article is devoted to the mathematical modeling of the control processes of electromechanical systems with an electric drive. In this paper, we use the approximation of vector-valued functions of one variable by splines of the first degree to solve the problem of rotation of the motor shaft in electromechanical system. As you know, it is not always possible to find exact solutions in optimal control problems. In this regard, there is a need to obtain approximate solutions for optimal control problems. Therefore, an urgent task is the development of new methods for the approximate solution to the problems of optimal control of the electric drive, which provide higher approximation accuracy. The following results are presented: Graphs of phase coordinates and optimal control of approximation by splines of the first order are obtained. The results obtained were compared with the exact solution. The given examples illustrate the high accuracy of approximate solutions to the control problem obtained using the proposed method. Conclusions. The scientific novelty of the results obtained lies in the fact that a method is proposed for an approximate solution to the problem of optimal control of a servo drive using spline functions, in which unknown control parameters are found simultaneously with unknown parameters of phase coordinates, which gives the best approximation to the exact solution.

Factors of magnificence, comfort and safety of marine tourism destinations cannot be used as a measure to obtain satisfaction. The quality of the environment and ecosystem of marine tourism areas that are free from harmful pollutants is an important factor to ensure the achievement of health and safety from exposure to harmful and toxic pollutants for every visitor. The purpose of this research is to trace and distribute mercury and cadmium pollutants in Makassar City KWB. Determination of pollutant concentrations Hg2+ and Cd2+ using SSA. Samples were obtained by incidental sampling method at 5 points each on Samalona Island and Kodingareng Keke. The results of the analysis showed that the average pollutant concentration in seawater samples from Samalona Island was ±1.0910 mg/L for Hg2+, and ±0.8893 mg/L for Cd2+, while on Kodingareng Keke Island it was ±0.9347 mg/L and ±0.3870 mg/L. Concentrations of heavy metal pollutants Hg2+ and Cd2+ in sediment samples from Samalona Island were ±1.3646 mg/L and ±1.9056 mg/L, respectively, while the same samples in Kodingareng Keke Island were ±0.8981 mg/L and ±0.6562 mg/L. The concentrations of these two types of pollutants in seawater and sediment samples exceeded the standard MTV of seawater quality. Sources of heavy metal contaminants Hg2+ and Cd2+ in the waters of the two islands of Makassar City KWB are thought to originate from the geological activities of the seabed, industrial operations, hotels and hospitals as well as household activities around the two islands.

The effluent of tofu’s anaerobic digester contains organic matter and require further treatment. Constructed wetland (CW) using forage grass plant is one of the alternatives. The study is aimed to observe the effect of CW’s stage variation and planting duration on TSS and COD effluent. Plant growth also observed duringoperation. Two CWs horizontal subsurface tank of dimension 100 cm x 50 cm x 50 cm were arranged in series as stage 1 and 2. Tank was planted with Pennisetum purpureum c.v Mott at spacing of 25 cm, tank without plants as control, and operated at hydraulic loading rate of 0.1 m3/m2.day. Temperature, pH and plant height was measured every 2 days, TSS and COD every 1-2 week. The study showed, there was relatively no temperature difference between control and planted CW. The pH effluent increased with the pH of stage II being higher than stage IThe TSS and COD removal efficiency in planted CW was 61-90 % and 27-85 %, while for control was 8-85 % and 13-79 %, respectively. Plant can grow, indicated by the addition of plant height and plant weight during harvesting. In conclusion, CW stage and planting duration had effect on TSS and COD effluent.

UD. Teungku Aceh Coffee is a business engaged in coffee production. In the November 2020-October 2021 period, this business has not been able to achieve the predetermined production target, which is 300 kg per day and 7,000 kg per month. The purpose of this study was to measure partial productivity in the production process using the Objective Matrix (OMAX) method. The second objective is to provide recommendations for improvement of the ratio that causes a decrease in productivity based on fault tree analysis (FTA). The criteria measured are the use of raw materials, labor hours, production line workers, machine working hours and electrical energy consumption. Based on the results of the OMAX calculation, the lowest ratio score is the ratio 1, which means that it causes a decrease in productivity in the UD production process. Kopi Teungku Aceh is ratio 1. Recommendations for improvement are given to increase productivity in ratio 1, namely, forming an inspection section as a raw material inspection division by making an analysis report (LA) as evidence that raw material inspection has been carried out, making a firewood storage area in the factory yard that is empty, performs a mixed drying process between natural and automatic drying and ensures the availability of suppliers in the timely delivery of raw materials.
