Authors: Sampe Selvi
Published: December 2021

Occupational Safety and Health (K3) is the main means for the prevention of workplace accidents, disabilities, and deaths for employees. One way to identify hazards is to use a work safety analysis or better known as the Job Safety Analysis (JSA), which can examine work methods and find hazards from the design of machines, tools, materials, environment, and work processes needed for workers to prevent interference with work safety. This study aims to analyze and determine the implementation of Job Safety Analysis (JSA) to reduce the number of work accidents at PT. Geoservices Sangatta. Job Safety Analysis (JSA) (X) is used as an independent variable while Work Accident (Y) is the dependent variable. Primary data obtained through interviews directly with 5 employees of PT. Geoservices Sangatta. Secondary data obtained through data that is already available at PT. Geoservices Sangatta. The results showed that in the process of carrying out the work of PT. Geoservices Sangatta had made a policy that was committed to implementing occupational safety and health, as well as identifying hazards and prevention at each stage of the job namely by Job Safety Analysis (JSA). The implementation of Job Safety Analysis (JSA) at PT. Geoservices Sangatta can reduce the number of work accidents as seen from the decreasing number of work accidents that occurred at PT. Geoservices Sangatta in early 2020, although in the implementation there are still some lacking especially in the implementation of safety talk which only runs documents or administration, in practice, they are not routinely carried out. PT. Geoservices Sangatta should follow up with the socialization of Job Safety Analysis (JSA) procedures to all employees, one of which is by conducting training on occupational safety and health so that all employees truly understand and realize how important K3 is to employee safety and health.

A climatological study of soil moisture under corn crop at Campina Grande (NE Brazil)
Authors: KUMAR K.KARUNA , SILVA JOSE ANTONIO TOMAS DA , BEZERRA VIRGINIA DE FATIMA
Published: December 2021

ABSTRACT. Results of a climatological study of soil moisture under corn crop at Campina Grande (NE Brazil) are presented in this paper. Daily values of available moisture content during the crop growing period are evaluated for a period of 25 years. A six zone versatile soil moisture budget model is used for this purpose and approximately 5. 7.5, 12.5, 25, 25 and 25% of the available water capacity (AWC) are attributed to zones one to six respectively. Different root activity coefficients are assumed for the six zones in different growth stages and the dependence of these coefficients on moisture content is taken into consideration. The same moisture releasing characteristics are assumed for all soil zones. On rainy days moisture loss due to evapotranspiration is assumed to take place before precipitation. Four AWC values and three corn growing periods between March and September are considered in this study. A first order Markov chain model is applied to the daily soil moisture data. Soil moisture averages and probabilities are used to identify the optimum growing period for corn at this station. The irrigation requirements of the crop are briefly discussed.
Role of tropical mid-latitude interaction in the genesis of a monsoon depression - A detailed case study
Authors: SARA KSHUDIRAM , SARA SURANJANA
Published: December 2021

During northern summer, a monsoon stationary wave which maintains as part of its baroclinic structure three well-defined troughs, one each in the region of the Arabian sea, the Bay of Bengal and South China sea, frequently interacts with the mid-latitude baroclinic waves which amplify during their eastward passage with profound influence on the development of the monsoon troughs. The paper discusses the mechanism of this wave-wave interaction as suggested by the temporal evolution of the themla1 and wind fields associated with the waves and reports the findings of a detailed study of a case of tropical-mid latitude interaction in which the development of a monsoon trough led to the birth of a westward-propagating monsoon depression over South China.
Vertically-integrated tropospheric moisture, energy and their fluxes over Bangladesh during landfall of tropical cyclones
Authors: KARMAKAR SAMARENDRA
Published: December 2021

The changes in the vertically-integrated tropospheric moisture. energy and their fluxes over Bangladesh have been studied during the landfall of three major cyclones at Bangladesh coast in the recent past. It has been found that the vertically- integrated tropospheric moisture, dry static energy, latent energy and total energy over the country have a tendency to decrease at the formation stages of the cyclones in the Bay of Bengal and then the same shows significant increase as the cyclones move northwards for ultimate landfall.

 

The integrated zonal and meridional fluxes of moisture, dry static energy, latent energy and total energy exhibit significant changes both in magnitudes and signs during the northward movement of the cyclones.

Authors: KANDALGAONKAR S. S. , TINMAKER M. I. R. , MANOHAR G. K.
Published: December 2021

Using one-minute interval data of electric field and the records of rainfall measured at the ground surface, time sequence in the initial registration of precipitation and the onset of cloud electrification was examined for a series of 14 thunderstorms of the year 1973 at Pune to study the relationship between the initial development of precipitation and intensification of cloud electrification. The combined result of the 14 storms studied, each of which yielded precipitation, indicated in-cloud development of precipitation at least 3-7 minutes in advance of onset of cloud electrification. It is inferred from the other supplementing studies published by other workers and from the above result that in most cases the precipitation development in thunderstorms is initiated well before the electric field begins to intensify. This result is in close agreement with the result of previous studies.
Spectral (direct) solar irradiance at Pune
Authors: VASHISTHA R. D. , MADAN R. , SRIVASTAV S. K.
Published: December 2021

Direct Solar Irradiation (DSI) measurements are made with pyrheliometers. When used with selected filters, the spectral distribution can be worked out. Measurements at Pune indicate that large scale attenuation takes place in blue-green region of solar spectrum likely due to aerosol particles injected by industrial advancement over the region. consequent rapid urbanisation and resultant changed land-use patterns. Values show evidences on the role played by moisture field on the transmission characteristics of the Pune skies. The afternoon irradiances are seen to be generally higher than the forenoon values. However, IR and yellow-orange wavelengths have higher irradiances in the forenoons during the pre-monsoon months and occasionally even in March. Over a year 774 Wm-2 of irradiance can be expected on any cloudless occasion around noon time, the individual spectral values vary depending on the actual sky and atmospheric conditions. From the comparative study of the irradiances in the different spectral regions, inferences could be drawn on the changes that take place in the size distribution of aerosol particles during a day.

Published: December 2021

Predicting the level of public health in an area is very important to know the development of public health in order to give consideration to local governments in making policies that can increase the level of health and health services for the community. So we need a system that is able to make predictions and describe the development of public health in the years to come. The data used in the study were the percentage of the population who had health complaints and outpatient treatment for a month, the percentage of households that had access to proper sanitation, the percentage of households that had access to decent drinking water sources, the percentage of poor people, the average length of schooling, infant mortality rate, number of health centers and life expectancy. Backpropagation neural network method is a method that is often used in forecasting or prediction. Where this method can identify activities based on past data. Past data will be studied by neural networks so that they have the ability to make decisions on data that has never been studied. This method is expected to provide a prediction of the level of health by studying data from previous years. The results of this study produced a predictive map of the level of public health in the East Java region in 2019, 2020 and 2021 based on the model obtained from the training results with an epoch of 100 and an MSE value of 0.0173254.

Authors: Rivarola Puntigliano Andrés
Published: December 2021

El objetivo de este artículo es resaltar y analizar los aportes del pensamiento geopolítico latinoamericano. En primer lugar, se mostrará que hay algo que puede ser llamado pensamiento geopolítico latinoamericano, con raíces muy profundas que llegan al período colonial. Este se enlaza, muy temprano, con la nueva dimensión llamada geopolítica, con respecto al análisis de la relación entre Estado, nación, territorio y sistema internacional. Como se mostrará en el artículo, surgen variedades de pensamiento geopolítico en distintos países de la región, así como en diferentes dimensiones de análisis. En segundo lugar, nos enfocaremos en demostrar que, más allá de las diferencias, hay dos elementos comunes por resaltar en el pensamiento geopolítico de la región. Por un lado la dimensión del “desarrollo”, y, por otro, la “integración regional”. Dos elementos que pueden ser vistos tanto por separado, como en conjunto, siendo la “geopolítica de la integración” la contribución más importante desde América Latina.

Ontogenia como método para avaliação de sistemas de classificação
Authors: Pegoraro Novaes Fernanda Carolina , Moreira Walter
Published: December 2021

A ontogenia é compreendida como o estudo do tempo de vida de um determinado assunto e também como um “método histórico” por investigar o conhecimento e suas mudanças com o passar do tempo. Alguns estudos utilizam a ontogenia para investigar em sistemas de classificação como um assunto é representado; se é deslocado entre classes diferentes, ou se sofre modificações semânticas e entre outras. Nesse presente trabalho, a ontogenia é utilizada como principal metodologia, pois é aplicada para investigar as mudanças apresentadas na divisão música na Classificação Decimal de Dewey (CDD), destacando-se a abordagem diferencial referente a ontogênese, pois é aplicada apenas nas subdivisões padrão de música para melhor compreensão conceitual da divisão. As mudanças estrutural, no uso da palavra e textual encontradas por meio da ontogenia apresentaram diferentes casos (características) em cada tipo de mudança, que foram: mudança de sinônimo no título e expansão conceitual através de categorias de assunto, expansão conceitual do assunto sem alteração de sinônimo no título, adição de uma nova subdivisão padrão e exclusão de uma subdivisão padrão para mudanças estruturais; adição de novas palavras no título, exclusão de palavras no título e alteração do sinônimo do título para mudanças no uso da palavra; e alteração no sinônimo do título e do conjunto de descrição conceitual para mudança textual. Esse estudo enfatiza a importância da ontogenia como método para a compreensão de sistemas de classificação, assim como demonstra, através dos casos identificados, os diferentes olhares que a ontogênese permite proporcionar.

Anger, sadness, or disgust? A systematic review on the role of emotion regarding the effect of gruesome evidence on guilt decisions

Previous research has shown that gruesome evidence influences guilt decisions. Several scholars have put forward that the emotional response to gruesome evidence drives this effect. The current systematic review aims to critically scrutinize the current literature on this underlying emotion mechanism, by reviewing studies on the potential mediating role of emotion. A synthesis of the literature suggests that specific emotions have different effects: disgust shows a mediating effect, fear and sadness do not, whereas the effect of anger is inconsistent. The question remains whether an emotional effect is desirable in the courtroom. Recommendations for future research and the legal practice are made.

Economics, finance and related disciplines, in recent years, have made extensive use of theoretical and empirical findings of other social sciences. The aim of this article is to present the issue of behavioural finance, the assumptions of which make it easier to understand what and why makes financial managers choose a particular course of action. Focusing on the tendencies of a psychological nature characteristic of managers that determine their specific behaviour, it is explained how the behaviour of finance professionals can be analysed through the prism of psychology. The article is based on the analysis of the literature on the subject, where the method of source analysis was mainly used.
Comprehensive and special physical fitness of judo athletes of provincial national teams in the age groups: youngster (U16) and junior (U21)
Authors: Prokopczyk Adam
Published: December 2021

The research aimed to determine the relationship between the universal and special physical fitness of judoists. The study involved players from the youngster (U16) and junior (U21) age group from provincial teams. The International Physical Fitness Test was used to measure comprehensive fitness, and the Special Judo Fitness Test was applied to assess special fitness. The research has shown that juniors exhibit a higher level of all-round (excluding flexibility) and special fitness than youngsters. More relationships between comprehensive physical fitness and special fitness were demonstrated in the youngster group. Leg muscle strength, endurance, agility, and abdominal strength were found to have the most significant impact on the overall level of all-round fitness in the youngster age group, while in the age group under 21, endurance, hand strength, and arm strength had the most significant impact. It has been shown that the combination of individual components of versatile fitness in a given training cycle may bring positive effects in shaping those features in both age groups. Besides, it has been shown that when taking account of the athlete’s ontogenetic development and his/her sensitive period, the relationships between the components of comprehensive fitness and comprehensive and special fitness can significantly affect the effectiveness of the training process in both age groups.

The Polish philosopher’s book is one and only publication which dares to present and contrast concepts and theories on the word which appears in the history of Western Civilisation from the times of ancient Greek philosophers, through Christian thinkers and German romantics and representants of Enlightenment, ending with English and American pragmatists and positivists, not to omit prominent linguists like Ferdynand de Saussure, Noam Chomsky, Ernst Cassirer or Wilhelm von Humboldt. Original view of the author on philosophy of language makes the reviewed book unique, since Andrzejewski tries to break through the analytic, so common nowadays, paradigm and proposes to run the consideration concerning language in the spirit of lingua ac communitas, so to speak, he treats language basically as a tool for interpersonal communication and a way of gaining understanding within community.
Development inequalities of Romanian physical public healthcare infrastructure: the case of hospital beds
Authors:   Lucian Blaga University of Sibiu, Romania, Guțoiu Giorgian
Published: December 2021

The main aim of this paper is to analyse the spatial dynamic of public hospital beds in Romania (1992-2018) in order to grasp the potentially uneven development of the health care infrastructure following state policies of austerity and cost reduction. The paper uses quantitative data and descriptive statistics to show the reduction of public hospital beds after 1990 in line with the state’s health care reform aiming to decrease the use of hospital services and strengthen the role of alternative types of care. The results show that public hospital beds significantly decreased (approx. by 40%), mostly in smaller towns and rural areas. The main conclusion of the paper is that the neoliberal healthcare policies generated patterns of uneven spatial development. Public hospital beds were used in the paper as an indicator of public healthcare physical infrastructure, and across time they follow a pattern of clustering in more prosperous and more competitive areas

This article contributes to the debate of small centre urbanization and positions it amidst three emerging challenges: urban-rural transformation, economic experimentation, and disaster risk mitigation. To examine the entanglement of the three forces, we analysed the expansion of the Pangandaran urban area – a small urbanizing area in West Java. This expansion occurred as part of the Special Economic Zone (SEZ) project, in the form of a regional infrastructure plan including railway, airport, and harbour development to accommodate tourism flux. This study uses discursive and qualitative approaches to rural-urban transformation with data gathered through document analysis, mapping, and FGDs with local stakeholders. The results show that although urbanization was a complex process with promises of extensive infrastructure developments and national projects, little attention has been paid to the internal urban structure, utilities, and increasing vulnerability to natural disasters in Pangandaran. The study also addresses how urban theories and policies should deal with the complexities of small urban areas in Indonesia.
Changes in the functional structure of small towns in the least developed regions of Poland

Published: December 2021

The main objective of this work was to describe the functional structure of small towns located in the least-developed Polish voivodships (the so-called eastern Polish wall) and its changes between 2008 and 2018. An additional goal was to measure the diversification level of the functions performed by these towns. The results show that the structure of functions performed by small towns in eastern Poland was relatively uncompetitive and characterized by high stability over time. The structure was dominated by functions related to non-market services and industry, which in their case do not generate high added value. The studied structures were also relatively homogenous. The combination of such features in the long term may slow down the economic growth of the surveyed towns and regions in which they are located.
Crime rates and contextual characteristics: a case study in Connecticut, USA
Authors:   Central Connecticut State University, USA, Meng Yunliang
Published: December 2021

There is a long-standing interest in the spatial relationship between contextual characteristics and crime rates in the U.S. since such a relationship allows police and stakeholders to design crime prevention programs to better target areas at risk for crime. The objective of this research is to examine the relationships between violent/property crime rates and contextual characteristics at the county-subdivision level in the State of Connecticut. The analysis shows that predictors such as population density, type of housing, education, poverty, and racial/ethnic diversity are significantly associated with violent and property crime rates. The results are discussed in the context of different crime hypotheses, which can explain spatial variations in crime rates. Most importantly, the association between crime rates and the explanatory variables in this study significantly varied over space, highlighting that different crime prevention policies/programs should be implemented in different county subdivisions in Connecticut.

From the thrusters on smaller, but numerous, harbour support vessels through to the pod-drives on cruise ships and ocean going liners, azimuth control has rapidly established itself in the maritime industry. From the design of the ship, to the training of personnel and the development of operational procedures, the industry has risen to meet the demand. However, this rapid evolution has not allowed sufficient time for the propagation of knowledge throughout the different disciplines. On a day-to-day basis, maritime pilots must deal with such ships, coping as they do, with an as yet unstandardized environment. This paper presents the findings of an EU project (AZIPILOT) considering accidents and incidents and concerning the training and operational practice of ships equipped with Azimuth Control Devices (ACD’s).
OPERATIONAL ANALYSIS IN SYSTEM DESIGN OF SUBMARINES DURING THE EARLY PHASES
Authors: Nordin M
Published: December 2021

This paper presents a new method for operational analysis (OA) as a tool in simulation based design (SBD) for Naval Integrated Complex Systems (NICS), here applied to the submarine domain. An operational analysis model is developed and described. The first step of the design process is to identify and collect the needs from the customer and stakeholders, from which requirements can be deduced and designed in an organized way, i.e. requirement elucidation. It is important to evaluate the benefits or penalties of each requirement on the design as early as possible during initial design. Thus the OA-model must be able to evaluate requirements aggregated in synthesised ships such as initial concepts, i.e. Play-Cards, as representations of a submarine concept in the functions domain where the first set of requirements are designed, and establish their Measure of Capability (MoC) and Measure of Effectiveness (MoE). The work has resulted in an OA-model for submarine design that can be used during the development and for evaluation during the life cycle of a submarine system. The purpose of integrating OA in the design process is to explore the design space and evaluate not only technical solutions and cost but also the system effect in the early phases and thereby find and describe a suitable design room. This will generate a more rapid knowledge growth compared to the classic basic ship design procedures which focus on technical performance and cost. It is expected that we not only reach a higher level of knowledge about the design object but also achieve higher precision in the compliance to needs and deduced and designed requirements by the use of an OA-model as an integrated tool during initial design. This approach also invites customer participation within the framework of integrated project teams.

Development of diesel engines is focused on reduction of exhaust gas emissions, increase of efficiency of the fuel mixture combustion and decrease of fuel consumption. Such engines are referred to as low-emission engines. Low- engines trends bring higher engine power outputs, torques and also increase of vibrations and noisiness level. In order to reduce these vibrations of diesel engines, it is necessary to apply different dynamical elements, which are able to increase an adverse impact of exciting amplitudes. One of the results is application of a pneumatic dual-mass flywheel. The pneumatic dual-mass flywheel is a dynamical element that consists of two masses (the primary and the secondary mass), which are jointed together by means of a flexible interconnection. This kind of the flywheel solution enables to change resonance areas of the mechanical system which consequently leads to reduction of vibrations.
