Assessing the Effectiveness and Quality of Libraries
Authors:   , Calvert Philip James
Published: November 2021

A variety of library evaluation methods have been developed, yet few have attempted to evaluate the evaluation methods. This thesis is a meta-evaluation: an evaluation of other evaluations. The merits of different evaluation are analysed. Then the relationships between the different types of evaluation are identified, and a meta-model of library evaluation created. The Research Question posed in this thesis is "What are the most useful types of library evaluation, and how are they related to each other?" A four cell model has been developed. The two axes were chosen based upon systems theory. The y axis (vertical) uses two perspectives: an internal view (from the library) and an external view (the customers). The x axis (horizontal) is about the topic: the library itself; its collection, processes, costs, and the customer' use of its products and services. Four types of library evaluation are each placed in one cell of the matrix. Early chapters examine library effectiveness based upon four models of organisational effectiveness. A two stage project that investigated New Zealand public library effectiveness is described. First, stakeholders said what the best statements for evaluating public library effectiveness were. Second, library staff said how well their library was performing on each of the key statements. This data was subjected to a factor analysis to create clusters of statements that are the 'imensions'of library effectiveness. Then two chapters describe a similar project conducted in university libraries. Later chapters describe research into library service quality based upon the SERVQUAL model. It used the Hernon-Altman method rather than the LibQUAL+ approach. The intention of the research was to understand the concept of service quality for academic libraries and then create an instrument to measure library service quality. Subsequent research adapted the instrument for use with electronic services provided by libraries.
Sugar and Democracy in Fiji: the Material Foundations of Post-Colonial Authoritarianism 1970-2005
Authors:   , Barbalich Keiran
Published: November 2021

Fiji became independent in 1970, and functioned for 17 years under a constitution with democratic elements, including elections. Three times since 1987, however, armed force has overthrown constitutionally elected governments. Some observers see this as a failure of the consolidation of Fijian democracy, while others acknowledge the facade of Fijian democracy. Among those who acknowledge Fiji's authoritarian institutions, conflict persists as to whether authoritarianism is the inevitable product of ethnic conflict in Fijian society, or a consequence of post-colonial institutional legacies. No movement toward democracy in Fiji is likely to succeed until we understand the material foundations underlying Fiji's authoritarian politics. This thesis argues that Fiji' authoritarian political institutions, established under colonial rule, have been sustained since independence by forces in the international economy. These forces have helped to maintain the economic, social and political dominance of a Pacific-Fijian chiefly elite over Fijian society. Specially, chiefly control of the sugar industry, Fiji's principal export, has provided chiefs with sufficient patronage resources to retain their control over Fijian society through electoral politics or, at the event of undesirable electoral outcomes, through armed opposition. Through post-colonial structures, the chiefs control the land-tenure system, and through their setting and receipt of land rents, they have been the principal beneficiaries of Fiji's sugar exports. This comparatively inefficient industry, and the social and political institutions that it rests on, have survived because Fiji, as party to the European Union's Sugar Protocol, has received two-and-a-half to three times the world market price for its sugar exports between 1975 and 2009. This thesis makes its case through close textual analysis of Fiji's three constitutions, detailed inspection of Fiji's land-tenure system, and, specifically, the accounts of the Native Land Trust Board, as well as examination of the secondary literature on Fiji's sugar industry.
Tracing the Origins of Refractory Inclusions - the Solar System's Oldest Solids: a Petrographic, Geochemical and 26Al-26Mg Dating Study of CV and CK Refractory Inclusions
Authors:   , Town Christopher Campbell
Published: November 2021

Refractory inclusions in carbonaceous chondrite meteorites are of particular interest because both long- and short-lived chronometers have shown that they are the oldest sampled material to have formed in the Solar System. The objective of this study was to establish high-precision petrographic, chemical and isotopic analyses of refractory inclusions and thus offer insights into the chemical and astrophysical environments present during the formation of the Solar System. The former presence of the short-lived isotope 26Al (T1/2 = ca.730 KYr) has been established in a majority of refractory inclusions. Recent studies using both solution-based and in situ methodologies have suggested that the initial 26Al/27Al0 value of refractory inclusions is ca.6 x 10-5, higher than the established "canonical" value of [5.00 +/- 0.05] x 10-5. Knowing the initial concentration of 26Al within the Solar System provides a useful anchor from which ancient materials can be dated. Petrographic and trace element analyses were performed on nine newly-extracted refractory inclusions from CV3 and CK3 chondrites. These analyses revealed all but three refractory inclusions to have experienced multiple episodes of melting and evaporation prior to crystal closure. Mg isotope analyses were performed on eight of the newly extracted refractory inclusions in addition to five inter-laboratory samples. All refractory inclusions shown to have remained unaltered following crystal-closure, regardless of thermal history prior to closure, yielded a model 26Al/27Al0 of [4.89 x 0.265] x 10-5; within error of the canonical value. This result confirms that 26Al was homogenous and at canonical concentrations in the solar nebula. The results also suggest that chemical fractionation and crystal closure for the analysed refractory inclusions was completed within no more than 160 Kyr.
Oxygen Consumption Rates of Sponges and the Effect of UV-B Radiation and Sediment
Authors:   , Murray Heather Joanne Rose
Published: November 2021

Sponges are an important part of many benthic ecosystems, but little is known of their physiology and ecology, which is alarming given the predicted rise in global environmental stress and observed increases in mortality and disease of these organisms. The overall aim of this study was to further understand the physiological processes of sponges and the influence of environmental stress on these organisms. Oxygen consumption rates were investigated, as this is an important measure of the energy required for all physiological activities. The impact of ultraviolet-B(UV-B) radiation and sedimentation on sponges were selected because their input into the marine environment has been predicted to increase in the future, yet little is known about their affect on these organisms. Oxygen consumption rates were measured from a number of temperate and tropical sponges in New Zealand and Indonesia. Variability in oxygen consumption rates was found within and between species from their respective habitats. Interestingly, oxygen consumption rates in the temperate sponges appeared to increase with the proportion of inorganic material (spicule load). Ultraviolet-B radiation, at 60microWcm-2, was found to have no affect on the oxygen consumption of model temperate and tropical sponges. Sponge oxygen consumption, however, increased with repetitive exposure to 2.5 g L-1of sediment, while rates decreased in specimens under higher levels at 8.5 and 16.5 g L-1. Explanations for differences in oxygen consumption rates were constrained by the low level of information on sponges at a species-specific level, and highlighted the needed for future bioenergetic research. The results from the UV-B and sedimentation work suggest that some sponge species may be able to tolerate increasing environmental stress with the onset of global climate change, although interactions between factors could have the potential to negatively affect these organisms.
Torn Between Boundaries: Bodies-in-Pain, Christianity and Feature Film
Authors:   , Hill Shona F
Published: November 2021

The central argument of this dissertation, contrary to the secularisation thesis which predicts the decline of Christianity, is that Christian-inspired values tacitly influence embodied experience. Crossing disciplinary boundaries, various theoretical perspectives and empirical studies, the case of bodies-in-pain is used as the focus for empirical analysis. This study draws heavily on Mellor and Shilling's (1997) ideal-type analysis of Medieval Catholic and early Modern Protestant forms of embodied sociality and knowledge to produce an original model of bodies-in-pain. This model is then used as a comparative heuristic tool to assess to what extent bodies-in-pain can be identified as communicating meaning in the 'reel world' of fiction films. Three films that on the surface do not appear to have explicit Christian motivation are chosen for detailed examination. These are: Se7en (1995), Minority Report (2002) and Cape Fear (1991). The final chapter relates the bodies-in-pain models to a pre-existing audience response study focused on Cronenberg's film Crash (1996) to indicate what it is about the body that allows it to be depicted and constructed in certain ways. Overall this dissertation departs from the idea that Christianity must be at odds with secular society, instead, secularisation is reframed as a catalyst for social change that does not mean the end of Christian influence in society. In light of this, I claim Christianity remains socially and institutionally significant for contemporary Western people and the way in which they make sense of the body.
Measuring E-Learning Readiness in the Forestry Research and Development Agency of Indonesia
Authors:   , Mutiaradevi Retisa
Published: November 2021

This research investigates organisational readiness for implementing organisational elearning systems (OES) in the Forestry Research and Development Agency (FORDA) of Indonesia. The study measures the level of organisational readiness for OES implementation at FORDA; and determines factors that need to be addressed in order to implement successful OES at FORDA, in a context with no prior OES knowledge. A mixed-methods approach was employed in this study. A cross-sectional survey was delivered in two forms: online and paper-based. The survey sample consisted of 288 employees of FORDA (policy makers, researchers, research assistants, and general employees). Statistical measures - reliability analysis, factor analysis, and multiple regression - were conducted using SPSS version 16.0. As a complementary method, 12 semi-structured interviews were conducted with 12 policy makers at FORDA. A comprehensive organisational e-learning readiness instrument (COERI) was developed to assess the level of organisational readiness for OES from the perspective of all target respondents (policy makers, e-learning providers, facilitators, and learners). The study proposes twelve readiness dimensions: technological skills; positive online learning style; negative online learning style; equipment/infrastructure; attitude; human resources; environmental; positive cultural; negative cultural; financial affordability; financial availability; and financial possibility.  Overall, to implement successful OES at FORDA the results show that only five areas are ready but need a few improvements (equipment/infrastructure, attitude, environment, positive online culture, and financial availability); five areas are not ready of which three areas need some improvements (technological skills, positive online learning style, and human resources), and two areas need major improvements (financial affordability and financial possibility). Factors that affect organisational readiness and need to be developed further in order to implement successful OES are: personal characteristics (age, education, gender, and computer experience), Internet access, central support, finance, environment, face-to-face contact, human resources capacity, English proficiency, and prior e-learning knowledge. Further exploration is required to achieve a more reliable instrument and to improve the applicability of COERI to similar research contexts.
Preparing Chinese Students for the New Zealand Academic Environment: The Foundation Studies Programme
Authors:   , Hall Melinda
Published: November 2021

This research project examines the Foundation Studies Programme at Victoria University of Wellington to see if it succeeds in its aim to prepare students for undergraduate study in New Zealand, and to identify what factors contribute to a Chinese international student's success. The research is conducted in two phases -the first phase considers the achievement of 40 Chinese international students - half of whom have been through the Foundation Studies programme and half of whom have not - and finds that there is a significant correlation between completing the Foundation Studies programme and academic achievement in undergraduate courses. Reasons for this are explored in the second phase of study through interviews with twenty Chinese international students, ten who have taken the Foundation Studies programme and ten who have not. Some of the explanations found for the difference in achievement are that the Foundation Studies graduates are more confident in using English, are more adjusted to life in New Zealand, and are more prepared for the New Zealand academic environment, having gained essential essaywriting and study skills during the Foundation Studies programme. The main issue raised is the need for institutions to better prepare Chinese international students who gain admission directly into undergraduate programmes before they commence their studies, so that they are more able to succeed in the New Zealand academic environment.
Sublime Pixels: Exploring the Audience Experience in Digital Special Effects Cinema
Authors:   , Antonsen Torben
Published: November 2021

When exploring the audience perception of digital special effects cinema and the staggering success it has enjoyed, the explorer will often be left with a sense of confusion. They may ask: What is it that the audience is looking for or at when confronted with these pixilated illusions? This thesis attempts to answer that question. It starts with the basic assumption that what the audience is hoping to achieve when 'touched' by the phenomenal spectacle of the digital image is the very best feeling achievable, or the truly sublime. To do this, the thesis unravels the philosophical and theoretical quandaries that surround audience perception theory. It then examines digital special effects and digital cinema to understand, not only its attraction, but also its power over the viewer lost in its awesome potential. By exploring the governing theories behind the sublime and audience perception, the thesis is able to contend that the digital special effects image becomes carnally real or 'alive'. Through the examination of a number of seminal digital special effects movies the thesis tries not only to de-mystify the digital image, but to also create an aesthetic, situational 'map' to the feeling of the sublime.
Her Work, His Work and Theirs: the Household Economy and the Family in New Zealand, 1900-1925
Authors:   , Toynbee Claire
Published: November 2021

This thesis is primarily concerned with integrating some of the theoretical and empirical themes beginning to emerge around the academic and feminist literature on work, household and family. It examines some of the complex interacting variables influencing the form and content of different forms of work, both paid and unpaid, directed at achieving the means of subsistence in family households in New Zealand in the first couple of decades of this century. Oral histories provide the primary source of evidence. The thesis is also concerned with the gross and subtle variations in household divisions of labour based on hierarchies of age and sex, and with the ways in which new forms of domestic ideology became adopted or rejected by families in different social groups around this time. It will be argued that these ideologies were associated with the privatisation of the family in New Zealand, and with the formation of local status groups. New Zealand during the early decades of the twentieth century is a particularly fruitful location for such research because of the wide variety of family types to be found in a society with a low level of structural complexity, minimal class structuration, a rather poorly developed economic infrastructure, but nevertheless modernising rapidly. Local economic and social conditions favoured the retention of patriarchal domination and subsumption of wives and children in farming families whose household economy was preindustrial in character. At the same time, local urban conditions favoured the emergence of smaller families, isolated domesticity, protected childhood and a new form of male domination, masculinism. The trend towards a new family form was probably stimulated by the dearth of paid work for married women in New Zealand and the relatively high wages earned by their husbands. Furthermore, a general shortage of domestic servants favoured a narrower gap between the conditions of work of urban bourgeois and proletarian women than that found in other Western societies. A socialist-feminist framework was found useful in respect of explaining differences in the gender-based division of labour, and in identifying the forms of male domination and control observed in different kinds of households. However, it was rather limited when trying to analyse the demands and social controls experienced as a result of competition and reciprocal obligations with other women in closeknit neighbourhoods, or as a result of kinship relationships. It was also necessary to extend or modify the framework to account for variations in the power/desire of women to control their children's time and energy, explaining which children should be involved in household or farm or earning extra money, or accounting for strategies used by husbands and parents to handle and control potential conflict of interests. These limitations may eventually be overcome as new research leads to clearer conceptualization and theory building.
Challenges in Communication: a Critical Analysis of a Student Music Therapist's Techniques in Working with Special Needs Children
Authors:   , Savaiinaea Chelsea Makere
Published: November 2021

This paper describes the processes under taken by a student music therapist to improve her clinical practice and enhance the quality of service provided to children with profound and multiple disabilities. Using an Action Research model it aims to show how rigorous investigation of one's own practice can improve understanding of the clients and enhance students' abilities and confidence when carrying out placement work. An interview process with three registered music therapists preceded a 12 week action research process. Three cycles were undertaken with each lasting 4 weeks and the interview material informed the initial cycle. Clinical notes, a research journal and video recordings of sessions were three data gathering tools used to evaluate the success of techniques employed. This intensive critical analysis led to a greater awareness of in session communications and an improvement in techniques such as active waiting and repetition of activities. This in turn created increased opportunities for response to musical offerings by this client group.
Promoting Sociability: Staff Perceptions of Music Therapy as a Way to Enhance Social Skills.
Authors:   , Boniface Emma Jane
Published: November 2021

This thesis is the result of working with nine students and one teacher aide in group music therapy in special education. Through opportunities to learn about music and sound, the students were invited to use descriptive language to express emotions and thoughts about their music therapy experience. This research used a qualitative research design, where the purpose was to learn about the perceptions that staff may have of music therapy and to highlight how music therapy can promote sociability in an educative setting. The data collected mainly through research journal entries and two interviews (as well as material from a discussion group) offer evidence about how improvisational group music therapy can help create a positive social environment in the classroom and complement socialisation goals in education.
Stanley Milgram's Obedience to Authority Experiments: Towards an Understanding of Their Relevance in Explaining Aspects of the Nazi Holocaust
Authors:   , Russell Nestar John Charles
Published: November 2021

Two leading Holocaust historians, Yehuda Bauer and Christopher Browning, have in recent years independently asked how so many ordinary Germans (most of whom in the 1930s had been moderately anti-Semitic) could become by the early 1940s willing murderers of Jews. Social psychologist, Stanley Milgram, had years before been interested in finding answers to similar questions, and to that end in the early 1960s carried out his widely debated "Obedience to Authority" (OTA) experiments at Yale University. Drawing on previously unpublished material from Milgram's personal archive at Yale, this thesis investigates how Milgram developed his research idea to the point where, by the time he ran his first official experiment, he was able to convert the majority of his ordinary subjects into torturers of other people. It is argued that Milgram's experiments were in themselves structured as a bureaucratic microcosm, and say less about obedience to authority, per se, than about the ways in which people in an organisational context resolve a pressing moral dilemma. The thesis uses insights gained from Milgram's experimental innovations to assist in answering the question posed by Bauer and by Browning, focusing on the Nazis' progressive development of mass killing methods, from 1941 to 1944, during Operation Barbarossa and Operation Reinhard. It is shown how these methods were designed to diminish perpetrators' perceptual stimulation, in order to make the "undoable" increasingly "doable", in ways that were later reflected in Milgram's development of his own experimental methodology.

Uma revisão de literatura sobre o uso das analogias no ensino de Ciência e Matemática
Authors: Melo Magali Santos , Paraguaçu Fábio
Published: November 2021

No ensino de ciências e matemática é comum o uso de analogias. Elas são normalmente utilizadas na sala de aula na criação de vínculos entre o conhecimento, experiências vividas e novos contextos e problemas, tornando-se importante no processo de interpretação e, por consequência, na melhoria da experiência de aprendizagem na prática pedagógica. Embora relevante para o ensino de ciências e matemática, verifica-se a necessidade da elaboração de uma visão global de como ela tem sido usada. Diante disso, o objetivo deste trabalho é a realização de uma revisão sistemática para avaliar as publicações de ensino de ciências e matemática com o uso de analogias, que permita avaliar a configuração e o contexto dos desenhos atuais do seu uso. A busca foi realizada no banco de dados da CAPES e no Google Scholar, usando como descritores: “analogia e ensino”, “analogia e ciência e matemática” e “analogia e educação”, o que permitiu o acesso às publicações de maneira adequada. O escopo dos trabalhos analisados foi delimitado iniciando de janeiro de 2014 a dezembro de 2019. Para análise dos dados, foram selecionados doze artigos representativos, onde descrevemos as analogias encontradas e suas formas de aplicações. A análise dos artigos apontou para a importância da analogia como uma boa metodologia de ensino para Ciências e Matemática.

Community empowerment through alternative activities in narcotic-prone areas is needed to minimize narcotics circulation. This activity aims to analyze the effectiveness of the Alternative Empowerment Program that has been carried out by the Indonesian National Narcotics Agency for North Jakarta City. The method used is qualitative with descriptive analysis. The activity was carried out in RW 12, Muara Bahari Village, Tanjung Priok, North Jakarta. Collecting data through observation and interviews with field implementing officers, community leaders, and residents who take part in alternative empowerment programs. Analysis of the effectiveness of the program was carried out after the alternative empowerment activities were carried out for 2 years. The results of the Alternative Empowerment Program are in accordance with the needs and implementation in the field. The program can increase economic independence and welfare but has not been maximized in reducing the number of narcotics crimes, crimes, and professions for people in vulnerable areas. Through the Alternative Empowerment Program, there will be a strengthening of the household economy which can increase family resilience for people in narcotic-prone areas.

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is the global agreement agreed by United Nation member countries. The agreement aims to assure fair and equitable development throughout the world. SDGs consist of 17 goals, which one of the goals is about information, communication, and technology (ICT). The principle of SDGs target is to make all countries benefit from the use of ICT including Indonesia. The massive use of ICT in Indonesia, especially within the young generation somehow triggers the possibility of cybercrime. It is necessary to increase awareness of the dangers of cyberspace, specifically regarding the use of personal data. Referring to that, this event conducts a program to increase the understanding and awareness of Junior and Senior High School students to be more careful when using their gadgets such as mobile phones, laptops, and computers, and etc. The method of analysis used in this research is qualitative which is a desk study and quantitative through the questionnaire. The results achieved in this service is the increased awareness of adolescents in Junior and Senior High School about the importance of personal data’s security on the internet so that students can be more aware and selective when accessing various websites.
Experience of Implementation of the Protocol TLS 1.3 Verification
Authors: Никешин Алексей Вячеславович , Шнитман Виктор Зиновьевич
Published: November 2021

This paper presents the experience of verifying server implementations of the TLS cryptographic protocol version 1.3. TLS is a widely used cryptographic protocol designed to create secure data transmission channels and provides the necessary functionality for this: confidentiality of the transmitted data, data integrity, and authentication of the parties. The new version 1.3 of the TLS protocol was introduced in August 2018 and has a number of significant differences compared to the previous version 1.2. A number of TLS developers have already included support for the latest version in their implementations. These circumstances make it relevant to do research in the field of verification and security of the new TLS protocol implementations. We used a new test suite for verifying implementations of the TLS 1.3 for compliance with Internet specifications, developed on the basis of the RFC8446, using UniTESK technology and mutation testing methods. The current work is part of the TLS 1.3 protocol verification project and covers some of the additional functionality and optional protocol extensions. To test implementations for compliance with formal specifications, UniTESK technology is used, which provides testing automation tools based on the use of finite state machines. The states of the system under test define the states of the state machine, and the test effects are the transitions of this machine. When performing a transition, the specified impact is passed to the implementation under test, after which the implementation's reactions are recorded and a verdict is automatically made on the compliance of the observed behavior with the specification. Mutational testing methods are used to detect non-standard behavior of the system under test by transmitting incorrect data. Some changes are made to the protocol exchange flow created in accordance with the specification: either the values of the message fields formed on the basis of the developed protocol model are changed, or the order of messages in the exchange flow is changed. The protocol model allows one to make changes to the data flow at any stage of the network exchange, which allows the test scenario to pass through all the significant states of the protocol and in each such state to test the implementation in accordance with the specified program. So far, several implementations have been found to deviate from the specification. The presented approach has proven effective in several of our projects when testing network protocols, providing detection of various deviations from the specification and other errors.

Published: November 2021

Introduction:
Air embolism is a rare and potentially fatal acute complication. Its causes are mainly iatrogenic. It requires rapid diagnostics and treatment, including hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT).

Aim:
The main aim was to present the potential causes of air embolism during hemodialysis (HD) and show the importance of quick clinical diagnosis and therapy – on the base of clinical case.

Case study:
65-years old male patient with diabetic nephropathy was treated with HD. The permanent dialysis catheters were used as vascular access due to the difficulties with formation of arteriovenous fistula. The massive air embolism occurred during one of the dialysis sessions. The clinical suspicion was confirmed by CT scan which showed the presence of gas bubbles in abdominal arteries. The cause of air embolism was sensor failure. The presence of patent foramen ovale (PFO) with reversed leakage caused the air ingress into arterial system. Patient was qualified for the immediate hyperbaric therapy. The quick improvement in the condition of the patient took place.

Results and discussion:
The massive air embolism may occur in HD patients, particularly in those who are dialyzed with use of catheters as vascular access. This rare complication should be considered in the case of sudden worsening of patient condition during HD procedure. The use of CT scan to confirm the air embolism suspicion and availability of HBOT are necessary for successful management of this complication.

Conclusions:
HBOT is a safe and effective method of air embolism treatment in HD patients.

Published: November 2021

In the education quality survey issued by the PISA (Program for International Student Assessment), Indonesia is ranked 72nd out of 77 countries. The Teacher Competency Test (UKG) results in Indonesia are still low and still far from being targeted by the government, especially in Aceh province Aceh at the national level is still heartbreaking by being the second lowest in Indonesia. Seeing the problems faced by education in Indonesia, to improve the quality of education, the quality of teachers must be improved first, one of which is by increasing the pedagogical competence of teachers. This study aims to know the pedagogical knowledge of physics teachers in SMA Negeri Lhokseumawe which includes aspects of learning planning, aspects of learning methods and aspects of learning evaluation. The research was conducted in the form of a survey with the population of this study was to take the entire physics subject teachers at SMA Negeri Lhokseumawe, totaling 7 (seven) schools with 28 physics teachers. The samples in this study were 3 schools that were taken by simple random sampling, namely 8 physics teachers at SMA Negeri 2 Lhokseumawe, 3 physics teachers at SMA Negeri 5 Lhokseumawe, and SMA Negeri 7 Lhokseumawe with 2 physics teachers. The results showed that the physics teacher's knowledge on the learning planning aspect was in the category of having good knowledge, meanwhile the physics teacher's knowledge on the learning method aspect already had a fairly good knowledge, while the physics teacher's knowledge on the learning evaluation aspect also had fairly good knowledge. So it can be concluded that physics teachers in the pedagogical aspect are in a fairly good category, meaning that most physics teachers already have a pretty good knowledge of pedagogical aspects

Published: November 2021

Experimental study albion mice as a host was conducted in on attempt to inactivate the larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus by formalin treatment. Animals were divided into three groups. The first group was inoculated subcutaneously with alive ovine hydatid protoscolices , whereas the second group was inoculated similarly with 0.75% formalin- treated protoscolices. The rhird group was remained as negative control. a comparison was held between the three groups from haematological , immunological and histopathological points of view. The haematological picture revealed lymphopenia, eosinophilia and neutrophilia in both treated groups of mice. Infected mice in groups 1 and 2 responded subcutaneous injection of the antigen by production of antibodies detected by indirect haemagglutination test. Similar responses did not occur in noninfected control mice. Pathologically, results showed that the cellular were concentrated at the site of inoculation and at the draining lymph nodes without spreading to other organs. The formalinized protoscolices failed to induce development or formation of any cysts at the site of inoculation , in comparison with live protoscolices . The challenge of both treated groups at 4 weeks post primary infection showed that 80% of the infected and vaccinated animals resisted infection .

Waltheria indica has been claimed to be used in managing several diseases in traditional medicine, although substantial scientific data are not available as regards its safety despite its pronounced efficacy in management of some ailments. Therefore, methanol leaf extract of W. indica was evaluated for its effects on some toxicological parameters using experimental animals. However, acute and sub-acute toxicity were carried out using experimental animals as described by standard methods. Absence of death reported after 24 hours of single oral administration of W. indica indicated that the crude drug is safe orally and the sample also had no effect on both hematological and biochemical parameters, with mild toxicity observed with some vital enzymes and organs upon continuous oral administration of W. indica for 21 days. However, it can be concluded that prolong usage of the plant for disease management should be discouraged, which implies that usage of the pant for short time usage in disease management.

Russian film director Pavel Lungin explores the topic of independent cinema during perestroika, using the example of his debut film Taxi Blues, which received one of the first international awards in post-Soviet Russia—the Best Director Prize and the Special Mention of the Ecumenical Jury at the 1990 Cannes Film Festival. In the interview, the interlocutors discuss the directorial and dramaturgical tools: how symbolism is interpreted in a historical context, how the audiovisual image is constructed, what are the signs of a chronotope — and explore the image of a man at the crash of an era. For instance, in Taxi Blues, Pavel Lungin intentionally contraposes the two male characters—that of Pyort Mamonov (the image of the 90s), and of Pyotr Zaichenko (the image of a Soviet man)—clashing them against each other not only plotwise (through a dramatic conflict), but also aesthetically (through fundamentally different physiognomy and acting plastics). The director analyzes the specifics of auteur and genre filmmaking, dividing his artistic biography into a “script-writing” period, when his films were highly successful in Soviet distribution, and a “directing” period, when he, being in the new historical conditions, began to make independent auteur films. Another question raised is why a full-fledged “New Wave” has not emerged in Russia, similar to those that had formed in French and English cinema. Lungin recalls and evaluates the forgotten figure of Marin Karmitz, who not only produced the New Wave directors, but also had an auteur cinema distribution network—an interesting experience of distribution in Europe, which can be actualized in scientific research to answer a very timely question: can auteur films be successful at the box office? Thus, the interview covers not only the early period of Pavel Lungin’s work (given that at the time of Taxi Blues there was no Internet yet, and many reviews and analytical articles about the film are still not digitized). Most importantly, the film Taxi Blues fits into the historical context; and this fact creates a cultural field both for modern interpretations and for understanding the art of perestroika—information about which is still insufficient, resulting in the absence of full-fledged analytical comprehension. In the interview, we also trace parallels with the processes that were taking place in world cinema—the New Wave in French cinema, the British “angry young men”, and the “Youth Rebellion” in Hollywood.

PENERAPAN ALGORITMA FAST FOURIER TRANSFORM (FFT) PADA PROTOTYPE DOOR LOCK SYSTEM BERBASIS VOICE RECOGNITION
Authors: Tobing Fery , Agung Halim
Published: November 2021

Identifikasi biometrik merupakan salah satu media pada pengoperasian sistem home automation yang banyak diminati. Hal ini karena identifikasi konvensional seperti penggunaan PIN, password, kartu dan kunci sudah tidak cukup handal, dari segi keamanan dan cara pengoperasiannya.

Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini ada metode Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) yang terdiri dari analisis sistem, perancangan, implementasi dan pengujian.

Penelitian ini menggunakan 3 (tiga) kata yang digunakan untuk perintah suara yaitu “Buka” dan “Kunci” atau “Tutup”. Kata “Buka” digunakan untuk membuka solenoid door lock, kata “Kunci” digunakan untuk mengunci solenoid door lock, sedangkan kata “Tutup” hanya sebagai alternatif ketika kata “Kunci” tidak terdeteksi oleh sensor suara yang dikarenakan berbagai faktor seperti kebisingan yang ada disekitar alat, pelafalan yang kurang baik.

Dimana untuk kedepannya dapat menggunakan sensor suara versi lain untuk diaplikasikan ke prototype door lock system berbasis voice recognition.
