The effects of water reclamation technologies on biological stability of industrial water
Authors: Ng W. J. , Ong S. L. , Hu J. Y.
Published: May 2018

A modified Assimilable Organic Carbon (AOC) procedure was adopted in conjunction with Heterotrophic Plate Count (HPC) method to assess the effect of Single Effect Distillation (SED) and Reverse Osmosis (RO) lab-scale systems on the biological stability of industrial water. Industrial water was collected from a local Industrial Water Works, pre-treated with alum coagulation and cartridge filtration, before being subjected to advanced water treatment. The results obtained in this study indicated that AOCs in the SED product water were in the range of 70-80 mg acetate-C/L, while those in the RO product water ranged from 30-40 mg acetate-C/L in the 15-min permeate to 55-65 mg acetate-C/L in the 3-hr permeate. The above findings suggested that product water of both systems were potentially biologically unstable and would likely lead to bacteria regrowth during its distribution and storage. Removal efficiencies of lab-scale RO and SED systems on AOC were as high as 90%, dependent on the concentration of AOC-NOX in the industrial water. The RO system had much higher organic removal efficiencies in terms of AOC and DOC than the SED system. Organics removed from both feed waters were found to be concentrated in the brine water and rejected water in SED and RO systems respectively.
Persistence of two model enteric viruses (B40-8 and MS-2 bacteriophages) in water distribution pipe biofilms
Authors: Storey M. V. , Ashbolt N. J.
Published: May 2018

The persistence of two model enteric virions (Bacteroides fragilis phage B40-8 and coliphage MS-2) within pipe biofilms was investigated in situ in an urban distribution system. Biofilms were allowed to develop on uPVC and stainless steel (SS) coupons in a modified Robbins' device for 70 d within a 150 mm uPVC reticulation main. Coupons were then placed in annular reactors and slug dosed with B40-8 and MS-2 phages (108 pfu/mL). Pipe water velocity, pH and free chlorine were recorded during the experimental period. Biofilms on uPVC were generally more abundant (based on total bacterial counts, HPCs, total protein and total carbohydrate). Both B40-8 and MS-2 were incorporated into biofilms formed on uPVC and SS coupons (>104 and >103 pfu/μg protein respectively) and persisted for >30 d and 6 d respectively, reflecting biofilm biomass on the two pipe surfaces. Virion loss/inactivation from biofilm followed an initial rapid phase, followed by a very slow phase representing approximately 0.01% of the original virion population. Virions, therefore, have the potential to accumulate within distribution biofilm and problems could arise when clusters of biofilm-associated enteric virions become detached from the substrata by hydrodynamic forces or sudden changes in disinfection regime.

Published: May 2018

A small-scale pilot plant consisting of a three-stage RBC has been investigated for the removal of E. coli, COD fractions and ammonia from the effluent of an UASB reactor treating domestic wastewater. The results obtained reveal that a three-stage system operated at a HRT of 3.0 h represents an effective post-treatment process. The remaining COD in the final effluent was only 51 (± 7) mgl−1. Ammonia concentration was reduced by 67 (± 7.6) %. The overall E. coli reduction was 1.39 log10 at an influent count of 6.5 log10 corresponding to an overall removal efficiency of 95.8 (± 4.7) %. However, according to prevailing standards, residual E. coli counts are still high for unrestricted reuse for irrigation purposes. When the system was operated at a HRT of 10 h, overall E. coli removal and ammonia reduction were 99.9 (± 0.05)% and 92 (± 6.5)% respectively. At a HRT of 10 h, recirculation of the 3rd stage effluent to the 1st stage reduced the residual of E. coli in the final effluent from 2 × 103 to 9.8 × 102/100ml. Moreover, the recirculation of nitrified effluent from the 3rd stage to the 1st stage increased ammonia removal in the stage 1 from 23 to 43%. This relatively high ammonia removal likely can be attributed to the supply of nitrifiers from 3rd stage to the 1st one.
Report Card - Murray-Darling Basin - 2001
Authors: Goss K.
Published: May 2018

Ongoing deterioration of the riverine environments of the Murray-Darling Basin led the Murray-Darling Basin Ministerial Council to introduce a Cap in 1995 to halt the growth in diversions of water for consumptive use. This initiative recognised the finite nature of water resources in the Basin and sought to introduce a balance between off-stream use of water and protection of the riverine environment.

But the cap is only one step, albeit a fundamental one, in restoring the Basin's rivers - it is a “stake in the ground”. Parties to the Murray-Darling Basin Initiative recognise the need to reverse decades of creeping decline if the Basin's rivers and riverine environments are to return to a more ecologically sustainable condition. In the last 12 months, Council and Commission have taken far-reaching decisions designed to restore the Basin's Rivers. Many of these decisions, even 10 years ago, would have been unimaginable. The Report Card will explain the need for a number of recent decisions that will impact on the future of the Basin's rivers. For example, Council's decision to establish an Environmental Manager function in the Office of the Commission was made in the context of the recently agreed Integrated Catchment Management (ICM) Policy, and supporting Sustainable Rivers Audit. The role of targets and accountabilities under the ICM Policy will also be discussed. The Report Card will also present a snapshot of the state of the Basin's rivers and the actions being taken at a range of scales and locations in response to identified problems. Because some of the key initiatives are still in development, this Report Card will set the scene by describing where our attention is being focused and why.
Community-based river management in Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia: a case study of the Bau-Bau River
Authors: Manan A. , Ibrahim M.
Published: May 2018

In this paper we explain the current condition of the Bau-Bau River, examine community participation for management of the river system, and consider options for improving the institutional capacity for a community-based approach. This assessment is based on a research project with the following objectives: (1) analyse the biophysical and socio-economic condition of the river as a basis for future planning; (2) identify current activities which contribute waste or pollution to the river; (3) assess the status and level of pollution in the river; (4) analyse community participation related to all stages of river management; and (5) identify future river management needs and opportunities. Due to the increasing population in Bau-Bau city, considerable new land is required for housing, roads, agriculture, social facilities, etc. Development in the city and elsewhere has increased run-off and erosion, as well as sedimentation in the river. In addition, household activities are generating more solid and domestic waste that causes organic pollution in the river. The research results show that the water quality in the upper river system is still good, whilst the quality of water in the vicinity of Bau-Bau city, from the mid-point of the watershed to the estuary, is not good, being contaminated with heavy metals (Cd and Pb) and organic pollutants. However, the levels of those pollutants are still below regulatory standards. The main reasons for pollution in the river are mainly lack of management for both liquid and solid wastes, as well as lack of community participation in river management. The government of Bau-Bau city and the community are developing a participatory approach for planning to restore and conserve the Bau-Bau River as well as the entire catchment. The activities of this project are: (1) forming institutional arrangements to support river conservation; (2) implementing extension initiatives to empower the community; (3) identifying a specific location to establish an urban forest; (4) implementing demonstration projects for liquid system management; (5) promoting coordination amongst the different organisations and agencies in the catchment; (6) improving domestic waste transportation; and (7) recycling waste to create compost material to become an income source for the community.
Aerobic phenanthrene biodegradation in a two-phase partitioning bioreactor
Authors: Muñoz R. , Rolvering C. , Guieysse B. , Mattiasson B.
Published: May 2018

The aerobic degradation of phenanthrene by a Pseudomonas migulae strain under classical mechanical aeration and under photosynthetic oxygenation (using a Chlorella sorokiniana strain) in a two-phase partitioning bioreactor (TPPB) constructed with silicone oil as organic phase was investigated. When traditional mechanical aeration was used, an increase in the aeration and/or in the agitation rate enhanced phenanthrene biodegradation. Thus, phenanthrene removal rates (based on the total liquid volume of cultivation) ranged from 22±1 to 36±2mg/lh at 100rpm and 1vvm and 400rpm and 3vvm, respectively. On the other hand, during phenanthrene biodegradation using the algal-bacterial microcosm a maximum rate of 8.1±1.2mg/lh at 200rpm and 8000 lux of illuminance was achieved.
Nitrogen retention in a river system and the effects of river morphology and lakes
Authors: Venohr M. , Donohue I. , Fogelberg S. , Arheimer B. , Irvine K. , Behrendt H.
Published: May 2018

The mean annual transfer (loss and retention) of nitrogen in a river system was estimated using a conceptual approach based on water surface area and runoff. Two different approaches for the calculation of water surface area were applied to determine riverine nitrogen retention in four European catchments, ranging between 860–14,000 km2 in area, and differing considerably in the proportion and distribution of surface waters, specific runoff and specific nutrient emissions. The transfer rate was estimated sequentially as either the mean value for the total catchment, on a sub-catchment scale, or considering the distribution of water surface area within a sub-catchment. For the latter measure, nitrogen retention in larger lakes was calculated separately. Nitrogen emissions modelled with MONERIS and HBV-N were used to calculate nitrogen river loads and compare those with observed loads. Inclusion of the proportion of water area within a sub-catchment improved modelled results in catchment with large lakes in sub-catchments, but not where there was a homogenous distribution of surface waters among sub-catchments.

Leveraging Mindfulness to Build Resilience and Professional Quality of Life in Human Service Professionals
Authors: Hanna Andrew , Pidgeon Aileen
Published: May 2018

Objective: Mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) have shown promise in cultivating resilience and are widely accepted as efficacious in the treatment of a range of psychological disorders. This paper explores the feasibility of a Mindful-Awareness and Resilience Skills Training (MARST) program to enhance mindfulness and resilience, as a means of increasing psychological well-being and alleviating burnout and compassion fatigue in human service professionals. Method: In this randomised control trial, 46 human service professionals were randomly allocated to either a MARST group or to a no intervention, control group.
Results: Multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA), with pre-test scores as the covariates, revealed that the MARST intervention resulted in significant improvements in mindfulness, resilience, compassion satisfaction, and psychological well-being, and significant reductions in burnout and compassion fatigue; at post-intervention. These results were maintained at one month follow-up, with the exception of compassion satisfaction which was non-significant. Mediation analysis using a bootstrap resampling method indicated that mindfulness fully mediated changes in resilience and psychological well-being, as a result of the MARST intervention. Self-reported reductions in burnout following the intervention were mediated by mindfulness and resilience, and decreased compassion fatigue was mediated by resilience. Conclusions: The results of this study suggest that the MARST program may assist in developing resilience and ameliorating burnout and compassion fatigue in human service professionals. The study also provides evidence for the potential of mindfulness-based approaches to enhance resilience.
Implementations of Virtual Reality for Anxiety-Related Disorders: Systematic Review (Preprint)
Authors: Oing Theodore , Prescott Julie
Published: May 2018

BACKGROUND

Although traditional forms of therapy for anxiety-related disorders (eg, cognitive behavioral therapy, CBT) have been effective, there have been long-standing issues with these therapies that largely center around the costs and risks associated with the components comprising the therapeutic process. To treat certain types of specific phobias, sessions may need to be held in public, therefore risking patient confidentiality and the occurrence of uncontrollable circumstances (eg, weather and bystander behavior) or additional expenses such as travel to reach a destination. To address these issues, past studies have implemented virtual reality (VR) technologies for virtual reality exposure therapy (VRET) to provide an immersive, interactive experience that can be conducted privately and inexpensively. The versatility of VR allows various environments and scenarios to be generated while giving therapists control over variables that would otherwise be impossible in a natural setting. Although the outcomes from these studies have been generally positive despite the limitations of legacy VR systems, it is necessary to review these studies to identify how modern VR systems can and should improve to treat disorders in which anxiety is a key symptom, including specific phobias, posttraumatic stress disorder and acute stress disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and paranoid ideations.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this review was to establish the efficacy of VR-based treatment for anxiety-related disorders as well as to outline how modern VR systems need to address the shortcomings of legacy VR systems.

METHODS

A systematic search was conducted for any VR-related, peer-reviewed articles focused on the treatment or assessment of anxiety-based disorders published before August 31, 2017, within the ProQuest Central, PsycINFO, and PsycARTICLES databases. References from these articles were also evaluated.

RESULTS

A total of 49 studies met the inclusion criteria from an initial pool of 2419 studies. These studies were a mix of case studies focused solely on VRET, experimental studies comparing the efficacy of VRET with various forms of CBT (eg, in vivo exposure, imaginal exposure, and exposure group therapy), and studies evaluating the usefulness of VR technology as a diagnostic tool for paranoid ideations. The majority of studies reported positive findings in favor of VRET despite the VR technology’s limitations.

CONCLUSIONS

Although past studies have demonstrated promising and emerging efficacy for the use of VR as a treatment and diagnostic tool for anxiety-related disorders, it is clear that VR technology as a whole needs to improve to provide a completely immersive and interactive experience that is capable of blurring the lines between the real and virtual world.

Published: May 2018

BACKGROUND

We confirmed the safety of postoperative bio-chemoradiotherapy using cetuximab and docetaxel in a small number of patients with cis-platinum–intolerant core high-risk head and neck cancer.

OBJECTIVE

To assess treatment efficacy, we planned a phase 2 study of postoperative bio-chemoradiotherapy for patients with cis-platinum–intolerant core high-risk head and neck cancer and will compare the results to those of previously collected radiotherapy data.

METHODS

Patients who underwent definitive surgery for oral cavity, laryngeal, oropharyngeal, or hypopharyngeal advanced cancer, whose postoperative pathological results indicated core high risk for recurrence (eg, positive margin in the primary site or extranodal extension) and who were cis-platinum–intolerant, will undergo postoperative bio-chemoradiotherapy. The primary end point is 2-year disease-free survival.

RESULTS

The expected 2-year disease-free survival is set at 55%, and the calculated sample size is 35 patients, according to a statistical analysis based on previous reports.

CONCLUSIONS

This treatment method is expected to improve the survival rate of patients with severe head and neck cancer.

Basic Study on Automated Extraction of Symptom Related Words from Patient Complaints (Preprint)
Authors: Usui Misa , Aramaki Eiji , Iwao Tomohide , Wakamiya Shoko , Sakamoto Tohru , Mochizuki Mayumi
Published: May 2018

BACKGROUND

Although methods of obtaining knowledge from texts written by healthcare professionals such as electronic medical records and discharge summaries have been studied, there are few reports analyzing free-text data on patients’ complaints in Japanese.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to establish a new method for extracting keywords from patients’ free descriptions accumulated in Japanese medical institutions.

METHODS

We developed a system that automatically annotates free-text data with the codes of the Tenth Revision of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD10) using electronic medication history data (target period: September 1, 2015 to August 31, 2016). The performance of the system was evaluated through comparisons with data manually annotated by healthcare workers.

RESULTS

The number of ICD10 codes extracted from 5,000 patient statements by healthcare workers was 2,348, while the system extracted 2,236 codes. Of those cases, 1,480 matched. Compared with manual extraction, the performance of the system was 0.66 in terms of precision, 0.63 in recall, and 0.65 for the F-measure.

CONCLUSIONS

Our results suggested that the system was helpful for extracting and standardizing patient’s words related to symptoms from massive amounts of free-text data instead of manual work. After improving the extraction accuracy, we expect to utilize this system to detect the signals of adverse drug reactions from patients’ statements in the future.
Pragmatic randomized controlled trial of an internet-based intervention for alcohol use among college students: perceived motivation as a moderating effect (Preprint)
Authors: Bedendo Andre , Ferri Cleusa Pinheiro , Souza Altay Alves Lino , Andrade André Luiz Monezi , Noto Ana Regina
Published: May 2018

BACKGROUND

aaa

OBJECTIVE

to evaluate the effectiveness of a web-based personalized normative feedback (PNF) intervention in reducing alcohol use and negative consequences among college students with different motivation levels for receiving the intervention.

METHODS

: Parallel-group pragmatic randomized controlled trial among college drinkers aged 18 to 30 years from all Brazilian regions. Participants were randomized to a Control (assessment only) or PNF group - 1) drinking profile; 2) normative comparisons; 3) practical costs; 4) alcohol consequences; 5) strategies to decrease risks. Outcomes were: AUDIT scores (primary outcome), the maximum number of drinks, the number of consequences, the frequency of use and number of typical drinks. Motivation for receiving the intervention was assessed with a continuous scale (range=0-10) and students were categorized either as having low motivation (score <3) or being motivated (score ≥3). Students were followed after 1, 3 and 6 months (N=4,460). Generalized mixed models assessed intervention effects via two paradigms: observed cases and attrition models (multiple imputation and pattern-mixture).

RESULTS

Regardless of motivation, the PNF reduced typical drinks after 1 and 3 months and maximum drinks after one month (observed and attrition models), compared to the control. When considering motivation, motivated students (N=3,552) receiving PNF reduced the typical drinks after one (b=-0.51, 95CI:-0.76;-0.27, p<0.001), three (b=-0.60, 95CI:-0.91;-0.29, p<0.001) and six months (b=-0.58, 95CI:-0.93;-0.23, p=0.001), compared to control. Attrition models showed that effects were more robust after 1 and 3 months. In contrast, students with low motivation in the PNF group increased their AUDIT score after 6 months. There were no other significant effects.

CONCLUSIONS

The web-based PNF for alcohol use among college students reduced only alcohol use among students, and motivation for receiving the intervention moderated the intervention effects. The intervention reduced the alcohol use only among motivated students, whereas low motivated students had an increased AUDIT score.

Authors: ÖNCEL ÇEKİM Hatice
Published: May 2018

In this paper, the time series analysis is conducted to the monthly industrial production index data calculated between 2005 and 2017 by TURKSTAT. The aim of the study is to define the industrial production index with the time series chart, to find the suitable time series model for the index and to forecast the future values of the index. For this purpose, we make the series stationary by taking both the first difference and the second seasonal difference of the series to perform the Box-Jenkins models. As a result of the analysis, SARIMA(1,1,1)(3,2,0)12 model is determined as the most suitable model for the series. Using this model, the forecast values for the months of 2018 of the index series are calculated.

O presente trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar o rendimento da extração de óleo de coco de C. nucifera L. por meio de dois métodos (artesanal e com solvente orgânico) e, comparar os óleos obtidos com o óleo comercial quanto à atividade antimicrobiana e índice de acidez. Os resultados desse estudo demonstraram que as extrações analisadas foram estatisticamente equivalentes, portanto, não é possível definir o método que proporciona maior rendimento médio na obtenção de óleo de coco. Em relação à atividade antimicrobiana, os óleos obtidos por solvente orgânico, método artesanal e prensagem a frio (óleo comercial) não foram capazes de inibir o crescimento dos microrganismos S. aureus, E. coli e C. albicans. Desta forma, os óleos analisados não apresentaram atividade antimicrobiana com relação aos microrganismos testados. O índice de acidez dos óleos de coco extraídos por solvente orgânico, por método artesanal e prensagem a frio demonstraram valores acima do permitido pela legislação vigente. Porém, esses valores podem estar relacionados não só com o método de extração, como também com a qualidade da matéria-prima utilizada e a conservação do produto.

Authors: Fernandes Débora Tavares
Published: May 2018

O presente estudo visa conhecer a forma como o profissional enfermeiro atua nas orientações acerca dos efeitos colaterais em pacientes mastectomizadas que se encontram em tratamento quimioterápico adjuvante. A pesquisa foi realizada na UNACON (Unidade Assistência de Alta Complexidade em Oncologia) do Instituto de Medicina Nuclear e Endocrinologia (IMNE/ONCOBEDA). A amostra da pesquisa foi formada por 30 mulheres mastectomizadas entre 30 e 45 anos. O processo de pesquisa foi iniciado através da leitura dos prontuários, sendo realizadas visitas ao referido Hospital para a coleta dos dados. Esta foi utilizada para formulação de um questionário, posteriormente aplicado às mulheres. Encontrou-se uma assistência de qualidade, e satisfação por parte das clientes nas orientações prestadas pelo enfermeiro, tal como os efeitos colaterais mais frequentes (alopecia, vômito, náuseas, afta, perda de apetite, diarreia, depressão, acesso venoso periférico comprometido (AVPC) e anemia) e os que mais causaram incomodo. Podemos concluir que o Enfermeiro possui um papel primordial nas orientações prestadas às clientes, esclarecendo as dúvidas, facilitando a sua aceitação e o seu enfrentamento, suprindo assim, as necessidades de cuidado apresentadas durante o tratamento.

Aspectos paradigmáticos para o estudo dos partidos políticos na Ciência Política brasileira
Authors: Epitácio Sara de Sousa Fernandes
Published: May 2018

O presente artigo tem como objetivo verificar quais as abordagens teórico-metodológicas adotadas para o estudo dos partidos políticos nas duas principais revistas especializadas em Ciências Sociais: Revista Brasileira de Ciências Sociais (RBCS), de periodicidade quadrimestral, e a Revista Dados – Revista de Ciências Sociais, publicação trimestral. A proposta justifica-se por possibilitar a exposição do “estado das artes” sobre os partidos na Ciência Política brasileira e verificar qual paradigma exerceu maior influência sobre a produção acadêmica referente à temática partidária, durante os anos de 1996 a 2012. O artigo é dividido em três seções. Inicialmente será discutida a formação do campo epistemológico da Ciência Política no século XX, com base no conceito de revolução científica e paradigma proposto por Thomas Kuhn. Em um segundo momento será analisada a influência dos paradigmas nas revistas norte-americanas e inglesa, e, por fim, tendo em vista a maneira pela qual os paradigmas atuaram sobre o processo de institucionalização da Ciência Política no Brasil, objetiva-se verificar como esses influenciaram os estudos partidários.
O conflito como estratégia política: grandes mobilizações e realinhamento partidário
Authors: Vasquez Vitor
Published: May 2018

Neste artigo foram analisadas três grandes mobilizações políticas no Brasil (o Diretas Já, o Fora Collor e as manifestações de junho de 2013) e o realinhamento partidário estabelecido após cada uma delas. Para tanto, tomei como referencial analítico a proposta de conflito político desenvolvida por Schattschneider (1975), explorando as ideias de expansão, contágio e consequências do conflito. A partir disso, procurei identificar as condições que possibilitaram o surgimento dessas mobilizações, bem como o desenrolar desses fenômenos e seus impactos no sistema político partidário. Argumento que, tanto nas Diretas Já quanto no caso Collor, o posicionamento das forças no conflito é mais claro, o que facilita a identificação dos fatores de expansão e contágio. Porém, no que diz respeito às jornadas de junho de 2013, a identificação das forças é menos elementar. Isso não impede, contudo, que se identifique, pelo menos por ora, o maior derrotado no realinhamento de força causado nesta última mobilização, qual seja, o PT.
Questões preliminares acerca da representação política no Brasil: a percepção dos eleitores a partir dos dados do ESEB de 2002 a 2014
Authors: Vieira Soraia Marcelino
Published: May 2018

A representação é um importante elemento para a democracia. Atualmente muito se tem debatido sobre as questões referentes a este tema. Neste artigo enfatiza-se a representação partidária como importante componente para a democracia. Busca-se observar como os brasileiros têm percebido a representação, se consideram que há algum partido que os representa, se há algum partido que gostam e como essas duas variáveis se relacionam entre si e com as variáveis sexo e escolaridade. Para isto utiliza-se dos dados do ESEB (2002, 2006, 2010 e 2014). Os métodos privilegiados são a revisão bibliográfica e a estatística descritiva. Os dados sinalizam a variação nas percepções dos entrevistados às quais poderão ser investigadas mais profundamente incorporando variáveis contextuais na análise.
Clientelismo e teoria democrática: do passado ao presente
Authors: Dantas Filho Adauto de Galiza
Published: May 2018

Este artigo tem como objetivo fazer uma discussão acerca do conceito de clientelismo levando em consideração sua natureza racional e sua evolução semântica ao longo do tempo. Parte desse exercício mostra que tal conceito-chave se relaciona com a teoria democrática participativa, revelando implicações de cunho normativo. Alguns trabalhos empíricos são levantados para reforçar a ideia de que relações clientelísticas não desaparecem com os processos de democratização e de participação política, refutando a dicotomia que tradicionalmente liga o clientelismo ao atraso político e econômico. As conclusões robustecem que não há uma característica singular que defina clientelismo e que sua natureza metamórfica é um dos fatores explicativos da coexistência entre assimetria clientelística e instâncias democráticas participativas.
As estratégias eleitorais dos Ferreira Gomes e os alinhamentos na política cearense contemporânea (2006-2014)
Authors: Monte Cleyton
Published: May 2018

O objetivo do artigo é demonstrar como a política cearense foi sendo construída nas eleições de 2006, 2010 e 2014, destacando as alianças eleitorais formadas no entorno do grupo dos Ferreira Gomes, orquestradas, em sua maioria, pelos irmãos Ciro e Cid Gomes. As questões norteadoras são: 1) Como essas alianças foram construídas e de que forma sofreram abalos ao longo dos últimos anos do governo Cid Gomes? 2) Em que sentido traduzem o domínio de um grupo político e refletem uma configuração nacional? Para compor este artigo, procedeu-se à leitura crítica de matérias dos jornais O Povo e Diário do Nordeste, de blogs especializados em política, de programas de governo e das peças mais significativas do HGPE, além de reportagens e entrevistas publicadas em revistas nacionais no curso das campanhas. Os resultados eleitorais e a formação das coligações foram extraídos diretamente dos portais do TRE-CE e TSE e, em alguns casos, dos sites dos próprios partidos políticos. É importante mencionar que, longe de espelhar um caso raro de arranjo eleitoral, as páginas que seguem apontam para a radicalização de uma série de elementos recorrentes na política brasileira, quais sejam: o forte personalismo, as coligações heterogêneas, o situacionismo, a midiatização das campanhas e o alinhamento com o cenário nacional.

Pengaruh Koneksitas Jaring Terhadap Ketelitian Posisi Pada Survei GPS
Authors: Utama Taufan Akbar
Published: May 2018

ABSTRAK Secara teoritis, salah satu faktor yang mempengaruhi ketelitian posisi titik-titik dari survei GPS adalah geometri jaring, yaitu banyaknya jumlah baseline yang terikat ke suatu titik (koneksitas titik). Penelitian ini menganalisis pengaruh banyaknya koneksitas titik dalam suatu jaring terhadap ketelitian posisi yang diperoleh dari hasil pengukuran GPS menggunakan receiver HI-TARGET HD8200X Single Frequency (L1) dengan format RINEX di 6 titik dengan sebaran titik-titik berada di wilayah Itenas, Gasibu, Cukangkawung, Cikutra, Siliwangi, Antapani dan Jalan Jakarta. Metode pengukuran yang digunakan adalah metode diferensial statik dan diujikan beberapa bentuk desain jaring dengan jumlah koneksitas yang berbeda-beda. Dari hasil hitungan yang diperoleh, jaring GPS dengan koneksitas 2 dan 3 menghasilkan ketelitian posisi horizontal dan vertikal rata-rata ± 20 cm dan ± 12 cm, sedangkan untuk koneksitas 4 dan 5 ketelitian posisi horizontal dan vertikal ± 9 cm. Penggunaan koneksitas di atas 4 menunjukkan peningkatan ketelitian yang tidak berarti, artinya penggunaan jaring dengan koneksitas 4 sudah optimal. Kata kunci: ketelitian posisi, geometri jaring, koneksitas titik. ABSTRACT Theoretically, one of factor that influenced the points positioning accuracy in GPS surveying is network geometric, which is the number of the baselines that bond to a point (point connectivity). This research analyzed the influence of the number of point connectivity in a single network to the position accuracy that resulted by GPS observation using HI TARGET HD8200X Single Frequency (L1) receiver device with RINEX format. The observation was held using 6 (six) ground points that distributed in different location, those are: ITENAS, Gasibu, Cukangkawung, Cikutra, Siliwangi, Antapani, and Jakarta Street. The method that used in this research was static differential and has been examined in some different network connectivity design. According to the result of this observation, the GPS network with 2 and 3 networks connectivity give the average accuracy of horizontal and vertical position are  ± 20 centimeters and ± 12 centimeters, while with 4 and 5 networks connectivity is ± 9 centimeters. The increase of accuracy for network more than 4 connectivities is not significant. So, the use of 4 networks connectivity was the most optimal. Keywords: position accuracy, network geometry, point connectivity.
Aplikasi GPS RTK untuk Pemetaan Bidang Tanah
Authors: Setiadi Joko
Published: May 2018

Abstrak Penggunaan receiver GPS RTK (Real Time Kinematic) pada metode ekstraterestrial untuk penentuan posisi titik saat ini sudah banyak diterapkan. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengkaji sampai sejauh mana ketelitian posisi titik yang diperoleh dari hasil pengukuran secara ekstraterestrial menggunakan GPS RTK untuk pemetaan bidang-bidang tanah berikut kekurangan dan kelebihannya. Dari hasil pengukuran didapat ketelitian rata-rata hasil pengukuran posisi titik menggunakan GPS RTK dibandingkan dengan menggunakan alat ETS (Electronic Total Station) adalah sebesar 0,214 m sehingga dapat diterapkan untuk pembuatan peta skala 1 : 500. Untuk daerah yang terbuka, pengukuran bidang tanah menggunakan GPS RTK memerlukan waktu dua kali lebih cepat dibandingkan dengan ETS. Walaupun GPS RTK mempunyai keunggulan dalam hal efisiensi proses pengukuran di lapangan sehingga dapat mempersingkat waktu pengukuran, akan tetapi memiliki kekurangan dalam hal ketelitian data terutama pada area pengukuran yang tertutup. Kata kunci: GPS RTK, ETS, posisi titik, ekstraterestrial.   Abstract The use of RTK GPS receiver (Real Time Kinematic) on extraterrestrial method for point positioning h widely applied. The purpose of this study is to examine the point position accuracy obtained from the measurements using GPS RTK for extraterrestrial mapping plots, including its advantages and disadvantages. Measurement accuracy of the results obtained from the average measurement point positioning using GPS RTK compared using the ETS tool is equal to 0.214 m, so that it can be applied for map making of scale 1: 500. For open areas, field measurements using GPS RTK can be performed by two times faster than using ETS. Although GPS RTK has advantages in terms of measurements process efficiency in the field so as to shorten the time of measurement, but has shortcomings in terms of accuracy of the data, especially in an enclosed area measuring. Keywords: GPS RTK , ETS, point position, extraterrestrial.
