Magic as a Form of Oppression Towards Women: Gender Ideology in Maleficent (2014)
Authors:   Universitas Indonesia, Wendranirsa Thalia Shelyndra
Published: January 2018

Previous studies propose that female protagonists in Disney movies are represented based on gender construction that causes oppression towards women, but in 2014, Disney produces Maleficent which offers different characterization and theme opposing the aforementioned gender construction. By focusing on its different female main character and theme, this paper aims to see what kind of oppression occurs and how Disney presents their gender ideology in the movie. The findings reveal that even though Maleficent is portrayed as a powerful woman, she is also oppressed. Her magical power becomes a trigger of her oppression since men consider Maleficent’s power as a threat for their domination. This research gives an insight to see gender ideology in Disney movies which is still considered as an arguable issue among the society.
Globalization, Women Factory Workers of Bangladesh and their Autonomy
Authors: Anwary Afroza
Published: January 2018

Feminist literature on globalization has examined the forces that motivate women to stay in factory jobs despite the horrendous pay. Bangladesh is currently the second largest readymade garment manufacturer after China. How does factory work empower women? This question became a central issue in current feminist theorizing, although this question is often absent from the discussion of global factory workers of Bangladesh. This paper expands the body of feminist knowledge by using in-depth interview data of women workers of a Bangladeshi factory. I highlight how women’s income provides them relative autonomy from their family and community and empowers them.

Authors: Villalonga Pons Joana , Deulofeu Piquet Jordi
Published: January 2018

Ante los indicios de que el uso de una adecuada base orientación contribuye en la adquisición de la competencia de resolución de problemas, con el presente artículo se pretende examinar parte de aquellos indicios que contribuyen a dicha afirmación al tiempo que profundizar en su interpretación. Para ello se consideran las resoluciones de un problema matemático utilizando una base de orientación por alumnos de entre 11 y 13 años de edad. El estudio se centra en explorar cómo la dimensión dedicada al atasco, que comprende el común error y el temido bloqueo, se ve reflejada en las resoluciones de los alumnos. El análisis llevado a cabo confirma la importancia de la dimensión dedicada al atasco en la base de orientación y su implicación tanto en el proceso de aprendizaje de los alumnos como en la práctica de los docentes. Entretanto, se obtiene una clasificación de las distintas situaciones de atasco y su vinculación con las nueve dimensiones de la base de orientación utilizada.

Authors: Lukiyanto Kukuh , Wijayaningtyas Maranatha
Published: January 2018

The paper aims to identify foreman’s strategies in marketing his/her group’s service as well as analyzes how the foreman finds a job in construction project. Qualitative method with phenomenological approach was used to address the research’s problem through a survey involving two project managers and four construction foremen. The paper provides the empirical insights about the marketing strategy applied by foreman as group leader in Indonesian construction industry. Foreman is regarded as an informal leader who has strong emotional and social ties with fellow workers. As the main liaison between management and labor, the foreman should be able to organize the work and labor to achieve project objectives. Management expects the foreman to be able to supply the needs of the labors of the construction projects, while the workers hope the foreman to be able to provide jobs for them regularly. Because of the chosen research approach, the research result may lack generalisability. In order to increase the generalisability, the researcher is encouraged to test the proposed hypothesis in the future research. The paper includes implications for the development of foremen’s role in marketing strategy and for fulfiling the balance between project manager’s and construction labours’ rights. This paper fulfils how marketing strategy applied by foremen can fulfil the project manager’s and the construction labours’ rights.

Il patrimonio dell’elettricità: una risorsa culturale da valorizzare
Authors: Mattone Manuela
Published: January 2018

I paesaggi e le architetture elettriche rappresentano una significativa testimonianza della storia che ha visto protagonisti numerosi paesi tra il XIX e il XX secolo. Si tratta di un patrimonio tuttora solo parzialmente indagato, rispetto al quale occorre farsi promotori di azioni volte a favorirne la conoscenza, la conservazione e non ultime la valorizzazione e fruizione da parte di un pubblico sempre più ampio e non necessariamente specializzato. I manufatti connessi alla produzione dell’energia idroelettrica e le tracce delle opere infrastrutturali resesi necessarie al momento della loro costruzione rappresentano una vera e propria risorsa culturale che, qualora integrata alle altre risorse presenti nei territori montani, potrebbe acquisire maggiore visibilità e leggibilità contribuendo a rendere questi ambiti appetibili e ricercati non solo per gli aspetti di carattere naturalistico e paesaggistico, ma anche storico-culturale, contribuendo alla loro riattivazione.

Authors: Alves Mariana de Souza , Correia Anna Elizabeth Galvão Coutinho , Salcedo Diego Andres
Published: January 2018

Analisa as práticas leitoras e informacionais existentes em quatro bibliotecas comunitárias da Releitura-PE, a partir de dois pilares: das ações que ela realiza e das condutas/vivências/sentimentos dos sujeitos envolvidos com essas bibliotecas. Utiliza como embasamento teórico uma reflexão que busca discutir o conceito de leitura de maneira ampla, bem como sua relação com os conceitos de mediação e apropriação da informação e esboça considerações sobre o conceito de informação e suas implicações com as práticas informacionais. Realiza ainda explanação conceitual sobre bibliotecas comunitárias, buscando compreender as singularidades dessa tipologia de bibliotecas, bem como apresenta a Releitura. Do ponto de vista metodológico, realiza um estudo de caráter bibliográfico aliado a uma investigação empírica de coleta de informações acerca das bibliotecas comunitárias e coleta de depoimentos dos sujeitos que fazem parte dessas bibliotecas, tais como gestores, mediadores de leitura e interagentes, por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas, as quais foram analisadas e categorizadas por meio da técnica de Análise de Conteúdo. Conclui que as práticas leitoras e informacionais dos sujeitos são múltiplas e se revelam tanto individualmente, nas maneiras de ler e de se informar, como coletivamente, nas seguintes práticas: gestão, organização e incidência política; formação e capacitação da equipe; comunicação e divulgação das ações; mediação de leitura e ações culturais; articulação com entidades locais e interação com a biblioteca. A biblioteca, por sua vez, foi considerada um espaço vivo, local de convivência, leitura, aprendizado e lazer, além de um instrumento de politização e desenvolvimento da cidadania e da autonomia dos sujeitos.

Published: January 2018

The power domination that reflected in the form of dominant discourse and normality management done by the medical regime through the hegemony process and the panoptic mechanism upon the individual and society in concrete is marked by the presence of regulation and surveillance (monitoring) in the medical fields. This study focuses the attention on the attempt in understanding and analyze the process and the resistance of urban poor upon the modern medication system that is internalized by medical regime as well as to explain the base or the potential problem that could become the trigger for the occurrence of resistance. This study also discuss the power relation that is made with the health personnel as well as to identify the base or the background that causing the resistance. This study used the qualitative-inductive method and the reflexive methodology. With the critical perspective and using the reflexive methodology from this study, conclusion can be drawn the power domination that is demonstrated by the medical regime has create the critical awareness of the urban poor that is followed by the process of resistance that is realized in the technique of low profile by avoiding,  retracting, fatalist and passive. All of that is according to the characteristics of the low class structure as well as the resistance that is personal, spontaneous, and expressive; that tend to be manifested as well as exit and developed an alternative discourse/ otherness according to the autonomy of willingness and power owned by the urban poor. In the context of resistance act of urban poor is realized in three shapes: (a) urban poor developed skepticism and criticism upon the modern medication although they still accessing the modern medication, (b) developed the pluralistic-patterned medical orientation or the combinative one. Lastly, (c) the exit of urban poor and developed the alternative discourse/otherness about the medication system to gain the recovery according to the autonomy of willingness and power held by it.

Authors: Andayani Ulfa , Jumina Jumina , Siswanta Dwi , Mardiana Diah
Published: January 2018

This research is about using blended membrane poly(vinyl alcohol)-pectin that are crosslinked by glutareldehide for ethanol permeation. Poly(vinyl alcohol) or PVA is used as the base membrane, pectin as biopolymers and gluteraldehida (GA) as a crosslinker agent. The objective of this study is improving the efficiency of ethanol permeation using blended PVA membrane with pectin and glutaraldehyde to determine the optimum composition of blended membrane PVA-pectin-GA. Membrane with optimum composition is selected based on the highest flux value. Membrane optimization was obtained by studying the effect of the PVA concentration, the addition of GA and pectin. Moreover, optimization was studied based on membrane permeation rate (flux) of ethanol that passes through the membrane. Membranes with high flux value were selected as the optimum membrane. The results conclude: (1) Addition of gluteraldehide decreased flux values but increased membrane stability. The highest flux value generated from the blended membrane that has cross-linker number (n) 120; (2) Addition of pectin increased flux value but decreased membrane stability. The highest flux value was obtained from blended membrane of PVA-pectin-GA with the optimum composition on mole ratio of PVA: pectin = (1: 2).

Published: January 2018

We have engaged in researching and developing a large number of sensor devices using piezo-resistive cantilevers. The important technical features of our sensor devices lie in their very high detection sensitivity that has been achieved by the use of cantilevers of a very thin structure: as a typical example, force-detection sensitivity of about 10 pN has been achieved by using cantilevers of 300-nm thickness. This paper presents our developed sensor devices and applications and their respective features: more specifically, devices to directly measure object-contacting forces, devices embedded in an elastic body to measure its deformations, devices to measure air flows and vibrations, devices to measure differential air pressure, devices to measure differential pressure between cavities and external environment, and devices with cantilevers arranged on the liquid interface.
Development and Evaluation of New Material Measure with Chirp Form for Surface Texture Instruments

This study designs and develops a new material measure with a chirp form. Material measures are measurement standards for calibration, verification, and inspection. Since material measures are essential for ensuring the traceability of surface texture instruments, we have been developing a manufacturing system to provide them. ISO 5436-1:2000 contains material measures with sinusoidal wave forms, random wave forms, triangular wave forms, trapezoidal wave forms, cusp forms, rectangular forms, etc. However, ISO 5436-1:2000 does not contain a material measure with a chirp (sweep) form. Therefore, we propose a material measure with a chirp form. Chirp signals are frequently used for various analyses in the fields of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, physics, and others. The primary purpose of the proposed material measure with a chirp form is to rapidly and simply examine the characteristics and capabilities of implemented Gaussian filters. We designed the surface form of the material measure as a logarithmic chirp form to maximize the utility of the primary purpose in this study. The wavelength of the manufactured chirp form varies logarithmically in the lateral (x) direction. This paper presents the following five points: 1) the design and development of the material measure with a chirp form, 2) the application of the proposed material measure to the examination of the attenuation characteristics of implemented Gaussian filters, 3) the application of the proposed material measure to obtain the deformation of the roughness form due to the implemented Gaussian filters, 4) the application of the proposed material measure to specify the algorithm of the implemented Gaussian filters, and 5) the possibility of another application of the material measure with a chirp form.

Authors: Liu Bo ,   Shizuoka University 3-5-1 Johoku, Naka-ku, Hamamatsu, Shizuoka 432-8561, Japan, Miura Kenjiro T. , Usuki Shin
Published: January 2018

For structure analysis with the finite element method (FEM), the hexahedral element is preferable to the tetrahedral one from the viewpoint of accuracy. Previously, we had introduced a label-driven subdivision method for a two-dimensional mesh and showed that the meshes generated by our method were useful for structural analyses. In this study, we extend our two-dimensional algorithm to three-dimensions and verify that the meshes generated by the proposed mesh-subdivision algorithm are useful for structural analyses.
Lymphoma of Bone

Published: January 2018

* Lymphoma can demonstrate primary or secondary involvement of bone.

* The most common subtype of primary lymphoma of bone is diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

* 18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography with computed tomography (FDG PET/CT) scanning is important for diagnosis, staging, and assessing the response to therapy.

* In general, immunochemotherapy should be administered before radiation therapy.

* The use of radiation for the treatment of lymphoma of bone is controversial. Recent studies have suggested a benefit in terms of local disease control.

* Orthopaedic surgeons see patients who have skeletal lymphoma at the time of initial workup or in consultation for biopsy and/or the assessment of impending and pathological fractures. Correlating the type and stage of bone lymphoma with prognosis can provide a guide to treatment. The goals for patients with a favorable prognosis include minimizing the need for surgery, limiting surgical morbidity when surgery is needed, and using implants that reduce tumor contamination and thus the field size of radiation if needed.

The commercially important red alga Kappaphycus alvarezii is widely cultivated along Tamil Nadu coast. Apart from farming, wild collection of seaweed is also being practiced by fishers for their livelihoods. The present study on economicsand constraints of farming and wild collection of seaweeds was undertaken in the Ramanathapuram District of Tamil Nadu, employing an expost-facto research design. The study found that the total cost of production for fabricating one bamboo raft(12 x 12 feet) was `1,050/-. The crop duration was 45 days and four to six crops were harvested in a year. The average yield was 200-260 kg per raft per crop. The price of harvested kappaphycus on wet and dry weight basis were `4 and `37.50 per kg respectively. Majority of seaweed farmers earned around `50,000/- to 1,00,000/- annually and the profit margin was 60%. The average gross revenue per trip per group of five members for wild collection of seaweed worked out to `6,700/- and the capital productivity was 0.30. It is interesting to note that about 20% of the respondents were those who left fishing and switched to farming and wild collection of seaweeds.

Effect of artificial substrates on growth and survival of giant freshwater prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii (de Man, 1879)in the nursery and grow-out rearing was evaluated. Nursery rearing was conducted for a period of 35 days in nine 1 m3cement tubs with 15 cm soil base. Three tubs without substrates served as control (C) while three tubs each with 200 g ofsugarcane bagasse (SB) or 200 g of paddy straw (PS) formed the treatments. Each tub was stocked with 15 post-larvae(mean weight, 0.01 g). Grow-out rearing was conducted for 90 days in six 25 m2 cement cisterns, of which three cisternswithout substrate served as control (C) and three with 5 kg sugarcane bagasse (SB) served as treatment. Each cistern wasstocked with 25 juveniles (mean weight, 0.55 g). The average phytoplankton and zooplankton abundance in water as wellas algae and food organisms attached on the substrate in the nursery phase was greater in bagasse than in paddy strawtreatments. Addition of substrate resulted in higher growth and survival both in nursery and grow-out phase. Prawns grownin cisterns provided with substrates were of more uniform size than those in control cisterns. The study recommends the useof substrate based aquaculture for nursery and grow-out rearing of M. rosenbergii.

In this study, sex composition, spawning period, fecundity and sexual maturity of the gibel carp, Carassius gibelio (Bloch, 1782), an invasive species in the Atatürk Dam Lake, on Euphrates River,Turkey were studied. C. gibelio specimens were analysed from Ataturk Dam Lake and the percentage of the males and females was 45.55% and 55.45% respectively out of the 110 specimens studied, ranging between age groups I -VI. The age at first maturity was three years for both females and males. The diameter of the egg was smallest in September, with a mean of 0.62 mm, while the mean egg diameter in June was greatest, at 1.54 mm. The absolute fecundity ranged from 1054 to 22548. Reproduction of gibel carp in Atatürk Dam Lake in Turkey was characterised by a young age at first maturity and high spawning capacity that would facilitate population expansion in aquatic environments.

Two stage rearing (nursery and grow-out) of two mullet species, Mugil cephalus and Liza parsia was demonstrated in afarmer’s pond. In the nursery phase, wild collected grey mullet (1.65±0.2 g) and gold spot mullet (1.03±0.1 g) fry numbering450 and 4000, respectively were stocked in pen enclosures. After 30 days of nursery rearing, they were released intothe same pond and reared for 7 months using dry pelleted feed produced in the feed mill of ICAR-Central Institute ofBrackishwater Aquaculture (ICAR-CIBA), Chennai. Feed was formulated using locally available ingredients to contain33.4% crude protein and 5.7% ether extract. The fishes were fed with crumbles (0.8 mm) and pellets (2 and 3 mm) in thenursery and grow-out phases, respectively. The production of both the mullet species together at harvest was 1262 kg ha-1(L. parsia 851 and M. cephalus, 411 kg ha-1). The nutrient composition of the two farmed sympatric mullet species whencompared with their respective wild samples showed a significant variation. Higher lipid content in the farmed fishes wasobserved compared to their respective wild originates. The effect of size was highly significant in lipid content, its valueincreasing proportionately with size (p<0.05) in both wild and cultured fishes. Cultured M. cephalus contained significantly(p<0.05) higher levels of Ca, K, Mn, Cu and Zn, while wild M. cephalus had significantly (p<0.05) higher concentrations ofNa and Fe. The wild collected L. parsia had significantly (p<0.05) higher mineral content compared to the cultured fishes.The dietary value (DV%) of mullets indicates that consumption of 100 g fish could meet the daily requirements of Ca and Pfor adult human being. Mullet could provide 60-75% of dietary value for Se, which is an important micronutrient that playsa major role in scavenging the free radicals due to its anti-oxidative properties. The results of this study demonstrated thetechno-economic viability of mullet culture in farmer’s pond. Mullets are an ideal choice for diversification of brackishwateraquaculture and could serve as an alternative livelihood source and nutritional security for the coastal population.
