Separation of Partial Discharge Sources Measured in the High-Frequency Range with HFCT Sensors Using PRPD-teff Patterns
Authors: Albarracín-Sánchez Ricardo , Álvarez-Gómez Fernando , Vera-Romero Carlos A. , Rodríguez-Serna Johnatan M.
Published: January 2020

During the last two decades, on-line partial discharge (PD) measurements have been proven as a very efficient test to evaluate the insulation condition of high-voltage (HV) installations in service. Among the different PD-measuring techniques, the non-conventional electromagnetic methods are the most used due to their effectiveness and versatility. However, there are two main difficulties to overcome in on-line PD measurements when these methods are applied: the ambient electric noise and the simultaneous presence of various types of PD or pulse-shaped signals in the HV facility to be evaluated. A practical and effective method is presented to separate and identify PD sources acting simultaneously in HV systems under test. This method enables testers to carry out a first accurate diagnosis of the installation while performing the measurements in situ with non-invasive high-frequency current transformers (HFCT) used as sensors. The data acquisition in real-time reduces the time of postprocessing by an expert. This method was implemented in a Matlab application named PRPD-time tool, which consists of the analysis of the Phase-Resolved Partial Discharge (PRPD) pattern in combination with two types of interactive graphic representations. These graphical depictions are obtained including a feature parameter, effective time (teff), related to the duration of single measured pulses as a third axis incorporated in a classical PRPD representation, named the PRPD-teff pattern. The resulting interactive diagrams are complementary and allow the pulse source separation of pulses and clustering. The effectiveness of the proposed method and the developed Matlab application for separating PD sources is demonstrated with a practical laboratory experiment where various PD sources and pulse-type noise interferences were simultaneously measured.
Extensometer for Determining Strains on a Tensile and Torsion Simultaneous Load
Authors: Goanta Viorel
Published: January 2020

The paper presents an extensometer designed to measure two mechanical strains at the same time—one from tensile load and the other from torsion load. Strain transducers provide different electric signals, which, after calibration, lead to the simultaneous measurement of linear (ε) and angular (γ) strains. Each of these two signals depends on the measured process and is not influenced by the other strain process. This extensometer is designed to be easily mounted on the sample with only two mounting points and can be used to measure the combined cyclical fatigue of tensile and torsional loadings. This extensometer has two bars—one rigid, reported at the resulting stress points, and one elastic and deformable. The elastic deformable bar has two beams with different orientations. When the sample is deformed, both beams are loaded by two bending moments (perpendicular to each other and both perpendicular on the longitudinal axis of the bars).
Object Tracking in RGB-T Videos Using Modal-Aware Attention Network and Competitive Learning
Authors: Zhang Hui , Zhang Lei , Zhuo Li , Zhang Jing
Published: January 2020

Object tracking in RGB-thermal (RGB-T) videos is increasingly used in many fields due to the all-weather and all-day working capability of the dual-modality imaging system, as well as the rapid development of low-cost and miniaturized infrared camera technology. However, it is still very challenging to effectively fuse dual-modality information to build a robust RGB-T tracker. In this paper, an RGB-T object tracking algorithm based on a modal-aware attention network and competitive learning (MaCNet) is proposed, which includes a feature extraction network, modal-aware attention network, and classification network. The feature extraction network adopts the form of a two-stream network to extract features from each modality image. The modal-aware attention network integrates the original data, establishes an attention model that characterizes the importance of different feature layers, and then guides the feature fusion to enhance the information interaction between modalities. The classification network constructs a modality-egoistic loss function through three parallel binary classifiers acting on the RGB branch, the thermal infrared branch, and the fusion branch, respectively. Guided by the training strategy of competitive learning, the entire network is fine-tuned in the direction of the optimal fusion of the dual modalities. Extensive experiments on several publicly available RGB-T datasets show that our tracker has superior performance compared to other latest RGB-T and RGB tracking approaches.

This paper demonstrates how research at the intersection of physics, engineering, biology and medicine can be presented in an interactive and educational way to a non-scientific audience. Interdisciplinary research with a focus on prevalent diseases provides a relatable context that can be used to engage with the public. Respiratory diseases are significant contributors to avoidable morbidity and mortality and have a growing social and economic impact. With the aim of improving lung disease understanding, new techniques in fibre-based optical endomicroscopy have been recently developed. Here, we present a novel engagement activity that resembles a bench-to-bedside pathway. The activity comprises an inexpensive educational tool (<$70) adapted from a clinical optical endomicroscopy system and tutorials that cover state-of-the-art research. The activity was co-created by high school science teachers and researchers in a collaborative way that can be implemented into any engagement development process.
DCN-MAC: A Dynamic Channel Negotiation MAC Mechanism for Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks
Authors: Su Yishan , Dong Lijie , Yang Qiuling
Published: January 2020

In the design of media access control (MAC) mechanism in underwater acoustic sensor networks (UASNs), due to the propagation characteristic of low-speed underwater acoustic signals, it is necessary to solve the spatial–temporal uncertainty problem. In order to avoid the multi-user access conflict in underwater networks, reduce the energy cost and improve the throughput and fairness across the network, a dynamic channel negotiation MAC mechanism based on spatial–temporal mapping of receiving queue (DCN-MAC) was proposed. DCN-MAC uses a duty cycle mechanism and implements a network management based on dynamic single node wake-up. The awakening node collects the request to send (RTS) and network status information in the network to solve the problem of space-temporal uncertainty and the highly dynamic needs of network access nodes and access services. The simulation results show that in different network scenarios, especially in those featuring high density and heavy network load, compared with the traditional underwater acoustic network MAC protocols, this protocol can effectively improve the network throughput and reduce the packet loss probability caused by multi-node conflict.

An innovative hyperspectral LIDAR instrument has been developed for applications in marine environment monitoring research activities, remotely detecting the fluorescence spectra produced in the spectral interval between 400 nm and 720 nm. The detection system is composed by a custom made photomultiplier charge integrating and measuring (CIM) unit, which makes automatic background signal subtraction, and a liquid crystal tunable filter (LCTF). The new instrument therefore has hyperspectral resolution and allows automatic background subtraction; it is compact and automated by custom software that permit to adapt the instrument properties depending on the environmental conditions. Laboratory tests to characterize the instrument performance have been carried out, concluding that this sensor can be employed in remote sites for Chl-a detection.

Published: January 2020

DYNAMAP, a European Life project, aims at giving a real image of the noise generated by vehicular traffic in urban areas developing a dynamic acoustic map based on a limited number of low-cost permanent noise monitoring stations. The system has been implemented in two pilot areas located in the agglomeration of Milan (Italy) and along the Motorway A90 (Rome-Italy). The paper reports the final assessment of the system installed in the pilot area of Milan. Traffic noise data collected by the monitoring stations, each one representative of a number of roads (groups) sharing similar characteristics (e.g., daily traffic flow), are used to build-up a “real-time” noise map. In particular, we focused on the results of the testing campaign (21 sites distributed over the pilot area and 24 h duration of each recording). It allowed evaluating the accuracy and reliability of the system by comparing the predicted noise level of DYNAMAP with field measurements in randomly selected sites. To this end, a statistical analysis has been implemented to determine the error associated with such prediction, and to optimize the system by developing a correction procedure aimed at keeping the error below some acceptable threshold. The steps and the results of this procedure are given in detail. It is shown that it is possible to describe a complex road network on the basis of a statistical approach, complemented by empirical data, within a threshold of 3 dB provided that the traffic flow model achieves a comparable accuracy within each single groups of roads in the network.

Published: January 2020

Precision agriculture (PA) strongly relies on spatially differentiated sensor information. Handheld instruments based on laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) are a promising sensor technique for the in-field determination of various soil parameters. In this work, the potential of handheld LIBS for the determination of the total mass fractions of the major nutrients Ca, K, Mg, N, P and the trace nutrients Mn, Fe was evaluated. Additionally, other soil parameters, such as humus content, soil pH value and plant available P content, were determined. Since the quantification of nutrients by LIBS depends strongly on the soil matrix, various multivariate regression methods were used for calibration and prediction. These include partial least squares regression (PLSR), least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression (Lasso), and Gaussian process regression (GPR). The best prediction results were obtained for Ca, K, Mg and Fe. The coefficients of determination obtained for other nutrients were smaller. This is due to much lower concentrations in the case of Mn, while the low number of lines and very weak intensities are the reason for the deviation of N and P. Soil parameters that are not directly related to one element, such as pH, could also be predicted. Lasso and GPR yielded slightly better results than PLSR. Additionally, several methods of data pretreatment were investigated.
Motivations and Attitudes: An Empirical Study on DIY (Do-It-Yourself) Consumers in Hungary
Authors: Khademi-Vidra Anikó , Bujdosó Zoltán
Published: January 2020

The market for homemade and handcrafted items has expanded significantly in recent years. Related activities range from community-supported agricultural activities, tinkering at home, renovating our houses, design elements, and defining space in the world of gastronomy and fashion as well, and it extends to cover many other activities, where the “producers” also double up as the consumers. The number of scientific analyses in Hungarian language dealing with this subject is very low and no deep empirical results (interviews, questionnaires, ethnographic analyses, etc.) to support our scientific experience exist yet. The purpose of this study is first to review the terminology issued and difficulties that are related to this phenomenon, and, based on the results of a questionnaire survey, and secondly to explore the motivations of DIYers and the attitudes behind their actions. In our study, we mean on Do-It-Yourself (DIY)—in line with the vast majority of literature—all activities, services, and products, which is implemented by own hands not under industrial circumstences. The target group of the online questionnaire survey was the people that are involved in DIY. The questionnaire was shared by a decorator and her DIY Facebook page (“Juditu”) on 3 October 2017. The size of the relevant sample was 270. The research questionnaire was built up from a demographic part, a part that is related to general DIY activity, and a part that sought to find the motivation of DIY members. The practice of DIY activities might be linked more to the personality and creativity; so, the group can be more homogeneously described along the common personality traits than by demographic variables. Among the motivations of DIYers the economic one (saving money) is not the most dominant. Analyses by interpretative index categories confirmed the hypothesis that it is difficult to separate one motivational force from the other; in many cases, one catalysing force generates the other, thus a complex multifactorial motivational set dominates the study target group. From the three groups, which were identified by analysing the motivations, in two groups those individuals are dominant, which use DIY activities to express their own inner world, and for whom spending time creatively, making something alone and for themselves, and creating something useful and valuable, is very important. These results were novel and, naturally, they can be perfect starting points of further studies because of the intactness of the research topic.
Insect Habitat Systems Integrated into Façades-Impact on Building Physics and Awareness of Society
Authors: Meier Linda , Raps Johanna , Leistner Philip
Published: January 2020

Deforestation, intensive farming and the sealing of green spaces are considered to be the main reasons for the global decrease of biodiversity. In this context, the built environment, and in particular vertical surfaces, are still highly underestimated and need to be taken into account. Although it is acknowledged that greened surfaces have beneficial effects, for example, on the microclimate, the vast majority of buildings are still not biodiversity-friendly. Artificial nesting boxes help birds and bats adapt to the change of their habitats. However, insects, with their tremendous significance for insectivorous species and for humans, are mostly neglected or even threatened. The purpose of this holistic approach is to investigate interactions between integrated insect habitat systems in façades and building physical aspects to create test objects. Heat transfer coefficients, thermal bridges, and the risk of condensation inside the buildings were simulated in different arrangements of nesting boxes for wild bees. As a result, conclusions on heat and humidity protection in ventilated façades and external thermal insulation composite systems could be drawn. The following results showed the maintenance of indoor comfort and energy efficiency as well as a low risk of mold. Further investigations analyzed the sound reduction index and fire protection. From a building physical point of view, integrated insect habitat systems could be part of the constructed environment and even link inner-city biotopes. Further challenges and opportunities are identified rather at a socio-ecological and technical level. Without taking into account the civil society and ecological demands of the various species, habitat systems for insects will miss their objectives. Special focus will be put on the skepticism and lack of knowledge of people, as well as on the comfort of the insects.
Small Changes in Vehicle Suspension Layouts Could Reduce Interior Road Noise
Authors: von Wysocki Timo , Chahkar Jason , Gauterin Frank
Published: January 2020

Inside the passenger cabin of modern cars, lower noise levels from quieter engines make road noise more dominant. The main transfer path for road noise below 300 Hz into the car is the suspension. Suspension layouts are mainly determined by driving dynamics, but their influence on road noise is not in focus. Layout design changes for driving dynamics in the early development phase require the modification of structural dynamics Finite Element (FE) models used to predict interior acoustics. This manual modification makes acoustical effects from layout design changes difficult to predict. In the following article, we present a method to adapt suspension FE models automatically to suspension layout changes. This allows an automatic optimization of the suspension layout regarding road noise. As an example, a rear axle suspension layout is modified to decrease road noise between 60 and 90 Hz by moving the connection point between the track rod and the knuckle.
Performance of an Array of Oblate Spheroidal Heaving Wave Energy Converters in Front of a Wall
Authors: Loukogeorgaki Eva , Boufidi Ifigeneia , Chatjigeorgiou Ioannis K.
Published: January 2020

In this paper, we investigate the performance of a linear array of five semi-immersed, oblate spheroidal heaving Wave Energy Converters (WECs) in front of a bottom-mounted, finite-length, vertical wall under perpendicular to the wall regular waves. The diffraction and radiation problems are solved in the frequency domain by utilizing the conventional boundary integral equation method. Initially, to demonstrate the enhanced absorption ability of this array, we compare results with the ones corresponding to arrays of cylindrical and hemisphere-shaped WECs. Next, we investigate the effect of the array’s distance from the wall and of the length of the wall on the physical quantities describing the array’s performance. The results illustrate that the array’s placement at successively larger distances from the wall, up to three times the WECs’ radius, induces hydrodynamic interactions that improve the array’s hydrodynamic behavior, and thus its power absorption ability. An increase in the length of the wall does not lead to any significant power absorption improvement. Compared to the isolated array, the presence of the wall affects positively the array’s power absorption ability at specific frequency ranges, depending mainly on the array’s distance from the wall. Finally, characteristic diffracted wave field patterns are presented to interpret physically the occurrence of the local minima of the heave exciting forces.
La métaphore géographique. Les frontières du droit constitutionnel dans le monde global
Authors: Ponthoreau Marie-Claire
Published: January 2020

Le phénomène global est interdisciplinaire (car pluriel en raison de ses différentes facettes) et donc irréductible à la question des frontières disciplinaires. Notre compréhension de la globalisation n’est sans doute pas la même selon la discipline, d’où on parle. Cependant, les catégories de l’État national structurent encore aujourd’hui en grande partie notre compréhension sociale et spatiale du monde. Cet article vise à se déplacer pour une compréhension renouvelée par un décentrement disciplinaire. La métaphore géographique en est précisément l’expression. Le rapprochement entre le droit et la géographie est déjà largement concrétisé dans le monde anglo-américain avec la legal geography depuis les vingt dernières années. Il convient toutefois de remarquer que cette association regarde jusqu’à présent des domaines principalement liés à l’environnement ou encore à la réforme territoriale dans lesquels des objets sont partagés entre juristes et géographes. Pour faire dialoguer plus spécifiquement les constitutionalistes et les géographes, nous appuierons sur les travaux des comparatistes qui ont déjà expérimenté les rapprochements disciplinaires et sur l’objet «frontière » . Ainsi, ce dialogue peut-il s’établir à partir de la question suivante : comment se traduit disciplinairement l’effacement et la permanence des frontières ?

Published: January 2020

In this study, we analyzed the learning data of the Open Secondary High School LMS(Learning Management System) in order to search the student s learning pattern and to derive direction and task for the customized education. We selected the students of Open Secondary High School who had participated in the subject of Social Studies for the first semester of 2018. Among the approximately 100,900 log data on the system, the IDs which have all the learner basic data, learning activity data, and operation data are classified and the 961,620 log data of 3,098 users was used for the final analysis. First, regardless of age and gender, there was an even distribution at all times except for early morning(0~6). Second, the rate of access by PC was higher than that of access by mobile in most age groups. However, if the access time and the access device were examined at the same time, the access rate of mobile was high in all age groups at early morning time(0~6). Third, the average progress rate of all students was 75.2%, while that of adults was far higher than 78.0% and that of teenagers was just 56.1%. Fourth, learners with an average progress rate of 70% or more are defined as the learners who have completed the course, and compared with the rate of completion by age, it was found that the rate of completion by adults is significantly higher than that of teenagers. Finally, among the learners who have completed the course, the learners whose progress rate of all the episode has reached more than 70% are defined as the learners who have faithfully completed the course, and compared with the rate of sincere completion by age, it was found that the rate of adults is higher than that of teenagers. Based on the above results, we presented suggestions for customized education for the Open Secondary High School learners, including provision of learning support services considering learners’ age characteristics, enhancement of learning support service through mobile, and guidance of learning method considering main learning time.
Трансформация идеологических концепций в Османской империи в 1850–1900 гг. Османизм-панисламизм
Authors: Abidulin A.M. , Shirkina I.A.
Published: January 2020

Аннотация Статья посвящена анализу идеологических концепций в Османской империи во второй половине XIX - начале XX века. Изучение генезиса терминов османизм и панисламизм позволяет нам отметить их западное происхождение и трактовать их в качестве идеологии сохранения империи и исламского единства, а также как стремление к культурному объединению всех мусульман, признающих духовную власть османского султана. В рамках изучаемого периода панисламизм рассматривается в тесной связи с предшествующей ему идеологической концепцией османизма. Показаны векторы, в которых панисламизм использовался как инструмент государственной политики в период правления султанаАбдул-Хамида II.Нами также исследуется процесс трансформации идеологических концепций позднего периода Османской империи. Показано, что концепции османизма и панисламизма соответствовали требованиям своего времени, учитывая политические и демографические обстоятельства, при этом не взаимозаменяя, а сосуществуя в тесной связи друг с другом.

Abstract The article is devoted to the analysis of ideological concepts in the Ottoman Empire in the second half of the XIX early XX centuries. Studying the genesis of the terms Ottomanism and Pan-Islamism allows us to note their Western origin and treat them as an ideology of preserving the empire and Islamic unity, as well as a desire for the cultural unification of all Muslims who recognize the spiritual power of the Ottoman Sultan. Within the framework of the period under study, pan-Islamism is considered in close connection with the ideological concept of Ottomanism preceding it. The vectors in which pan-Islamism was used as an instrument of state policy during the reign of Sultan Abdul-Hamid II are shown. We also study the process of transformation of ideological concepts of the late period of the Ottoman Empire. It is shown that the concepts of Ottomanism and Pan-Islamism met the requirements of their time, given the political and demographic circumstances, while not interchangeably, but coexisting in close connection with each other.

Voluntary Disclosure and Earning Responses Coefficient and with Corporate Social Responsibility as Intervening Variable
Authors: Suryani Arna
Published: January 2020

Objective – This research aims to find out how corporate social responsibility as an intervening variable on voluntary disclosure and earning responses coefficient.
Methodology/Technique – The research sample was retrieved from LQ45 companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange which consistently disclosure annual reports and sustainability reports for the period of 2017-2018. In analyzing the data, Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) with the support of SmartPLS (Partial Least Square) are used.
Findings – Results show that voluntary disclosure has a positive and significant effect towards earning responses coefficient while voluntary disclosure has a negative effect towards corporate social responsibility. Moreover, corporate social responsibility also shows a negative effect towards Earning responses coefficient. Voluntary disclosure with corporate social responsibility as an intervening variable also shows a negative effect towards Earning responses coefficient.Voluntary disclosure can explain the variability of corporate social responsibility construct of 13,2%. Meanwhile, voluntary disclosure and corporate social responsibility can explain the variability of earning response coefficient construct of 22,7%, so that those two values are categorized as weak.
Novelty – The results indicate that investors did not pay attention to the information of ccorporate social responsibility (CSR) that are shown in the annual financial reports. However, they give a positive response to voluntary disclosure of the company so that it effects the increase of Earning response coefficient.

Aira indica paradoja de un proceso ligado al azar o al movimiento aleatorio del inconsciente, señalando que el resultado es la instancia previa, el efecto inevitable donde las palabras del registro cumplen la función (diríamos, sintomática) de la imagen.

El propósito es encontrar pistas para una agenda de investigación en el estudio de cuerpo y comunicación digital.
Mejor convencer entreteniendo: comunicación para la salud y persuasión narrativa
Authors: José Igartua Juan
Published: January 2020

La meta de las intervenciones de comunicación para la salud es cambiar comportamientos,actitudes, creencias, normas sociales en determinados públicos o segmentossociales, con objeto de aumentar la calidad de vida de las personas y mejorar la saludpública en una determinada sociedad o cultura. Gran parte de las intervenciones encomunicación para la salud se apoya en el concepto de “campaña” y se asienta en elmarketing social como modelo de gestión. Sin embargo, uno de los campos más prometedoresen comunicación para la salud es aquel que ha venido en denominarseeducación-entretenimiento. Las estrategias basadas en la educación-entretenimientoincluyen mensajes que son atractivos para sus audiencias, tienen un fuerte componenteemocional y una estructura narrativa clara, y suelen enganchar a las audienciasal igual que cualquier otro contenido de entretenimiento de carácter comercial. En elpresente artículo se hace una revisión de la aproximación educación-entretenimiento:sus aspectos definitorios, sus orígenes históricos, los campos de aplicación, así comolos modelos teóricos que explican el éxito de tales intervenciones, los cuales se apoyanen la investigación sobre persuasión narrativa, es decir, el uso de las narraciones deficción para inducir de manera incidental cambios en las actitudes de las personas.

El objetivo de la investigación fue conocer las expectativas de los pacientes crónicosdel Sistema Sanitario Público Andaluz (SSPA) alrededor de la comunicación y la tomade decisiones compartida con el personal médico que les atiende a lo largo de todosu proceso asistencial. Se realizó un estudio cualitativo de 19 entrevistas enprofundidad y 17 grupos focales con 154 pacientes crónicos y sus familiares, incluidosen siete procesos asistenciales de Andalucía, y luego se analizó el contenido enfunción del proceso asistencial (patologías) y el nivel asistencial (Atención Primaria,Atención Especializada y Servicio de Urgencias). El estudio muestra que los pacientesde todos los procesos asistenciales manifiestan querer disponer de información sobresu enfermedad. En Atención Primaria valoran la continuidad, la cercanía y laconfianza, así como la correcta derivación al especialista. En Atención Especializadaesperan información fiable, un diagnóstico y pruebas correctas, pero también un tratoamable y ser escuchados. En Urgencias, la falta de tiempo y la masificación perturbanuna comunicación adecuada. El tipo de enfermedad crónica que se padece influyeen las expectativas de los pacientes en cuanto a la comunicación y la toma dedecisiones. La comunicación entre pacientes y personal médico y la toma dedecisiones en los procesos crónicos representan una línea prioritaria para la mejorade la calidad asistencial.
Alfabetización en salud: concepto y dimensiones. Proyecto europeo de alfabetización en salud

La alfabetización en salud (AES), traducción del termino inglés health literacy, es un conceptocomplejo introducido en los 70 en el mundo anglosajón, que cada día va ganando masreconocimiento entre la comunidad científica internacional. Existen multitud de definiciones deltérmino en inglés y diversas traducciones al castellano de health literacy. Entre las másconocidas y utilizadas se encuentra la que recoge la OMS en su glosario de términos de saludpública que la define como “las habilidades sociales y cognitivas que determinan el nivel demotivación y la capacidad de una persona para acceder, entender y utilizar la información deforma que le permita promover y mantener una buena salud”. Sin embargo, a pesar de launanimidad sobre su importancia, no hay una definición unánimemente aceptada del conceptode alfabetización en salud, y sus dimensiones constitutivas siguen siendo objeto decontroversia, así como tampoco hay un consenso sobre qué instrumento es el más adecuadopara medirla (Sørensen et al., 2011; Baker, 2006).
Neurociencias y comunicación: el comienzo de una saludable amistad

Los espíritus puros pertenecen, si acaso, a universos que el ser humano aún desconoce. Lopropio de este mundo es que las cosas se ofrezcan mestizas, simultáneas, polisémicas,paradójicas, confusas, caóticas, no lineales: complejas, en definitiva. Por eso no aciertanquienes, desde la Ilustración a nuestros días, defienden la fragmentación de las artes y lasciencias. Por eso también simplifican y yerran quienes sostienen que se puede alcanzar ungran saber sobre lo humano a base de especializarse en algo muy singular y concreto. Poreso da en el punto quien dijo aquello de “nada de lo humano me es ajeno” (Terencio).

Published: January 2020

Prinsip-prinsip ergonomi belum banyak diterapkan pada sektor kerja informal, salah satunya penjahit pakaian. Ketidaksesuaian ukuran alat kerja dan antropometri penjahit, seperti penggunaan kursi kerja terlalu tinggi atau terlalu rendah berisiko menyebabkan terjadinya keluhan pada penjahit terutama pada komponen tulang belakang (back pain). Untuk mengetahui hubungan ketidaksesuaian tinggi kursi kerja terhadap keluhan back pain pada penjahit pakaian, telah dilakukan penelitian bersifat observasional analitik dengan pendekatan cross-sectional. Sampel penelitian berjumlah 30 orang yang diambil dengan teknik Quota Sampling. Penelitian dilakukan di Pasar Bauntung Martapura pada bulan Maret-November 2011. Pengambilan data dilakukan dengan pengukuran tinggi kursi kerja dan tinggi lipat lutut serta wawancara. Hasil penelitian didapatkan 23 responden (77%) menggunakan tinggi kursi kerja yang tidak sesuai dan 13 responden (43%) mengalami keluhan back pain. Analisis chi-square dengan derajat kepercayaan 95% didapatkan p=0,010 antara ketidaksesuaian tinggi kursi kerja terhadap keluhan back pain. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa terdapat hubungan antara ketidaksesuaian tinggi kursi kerja terhadap keluhan back pain pada penjahit pakaian di Pasar Bauntung Martapura.

The fuzzy sets and Intuitionistic fuzzy sets are very useful concepts to elaborate the vagueness in real world problems. The objective of our study is to apply fuzzy set theory and Intuitionistic fuzzy set theory in decision making process. In this paper, we identify in which society a person has to purchase a house in order to fulfil his requirement to maximum extent. In our study we use intuitionistic fuzzy sets to find a relation between the societies and the parameters. And then we find a relation between a person and the parameters. We calculate Normalized Euclidean distance between two Intuitionistic fuzzy sets to make a decision of purchasing house in a society.

This project was done to learn the effects of cutting parameters on cutting force and roughness (surface roughnes) of AZ31 magnesium (Mg) alloy. Machining parameters involved in this project are cutting speed, feed rate, and lubrication methods. Deckel Maho DMU 50 eVolution high speed milling machine was using and uncoated carbide button insert was used as the cutting tool. Cutting force was measured during the milling process and roughness was measured after that and cleaning process to ensure no interference that would conflicted the results. The best machining parameters identified when feed rate at 0.05 mm per tooth, cutting speed are at 600 m per min, and minimum quantity lubrication was applied during the machining process. From analysis of variance (ANOVA) table generated by Minitab software, this project can conclude that feed rate, cutting speed, and lubrication methods are significant to cutting force and roughness when machining AZ31 Mg Alloy Therefore, the relationship of surface roughness and cutting force should be taken as a major key point in machining processes. In the automotive field, magnesium was used to fabricate an engine that place at front body due to reduce the weight of vehicle. This design can increase performance and balancing of weight [1].
