Gender Equity and Social Inclusion
Authors: Tabassum Suraiya
Published: April 2019

All over the globe, the majority of women are in health, education, caring sector, but they are underrepresented in fields such as engineering, manufacturing, construction, and science. This in turn affects women's professional choices, income levels, and future growth. Consequently, efforts are needed not only to achieve parity in education but also to help overcome the political, economic, and social barriers that hinder girls from pursuing employment in traditionally male fields and making use of their education and skills. Young women also lack equitable access to public vocational training and other job-training programs. These are crucial for developing skills useful in emerging markets and value-added activities. Efforts are needed to get women into job-training initiatives that will prepare them for the new jobs available in the global economy.

Authors: Faulkner Paula E. , Begum Shahana , English Chastity Warren
Published: April 2019

The authors of this chapter provide the background for Bangladeshi women's plight to achieve gender equality in the labor force. To be educated and trained as their male counterparts, many factors must be taken into consideration. While poverty and vulnerability continue to be faced by many Bangladeshi citizens, the government has initiated policies and programs to address the need for more trained skilled workers, including females. In recent years, the population growth has reduced, and health and education has improved. In the past, women were employed in typical trades such as sewing, typing, and hazardous and exploitative jobs. Today, government policies and procedures, such as the National Education Policy, have implemented training programs to address gender inequality to employ more women in various trades, with some owning their own businesses, such as the three success stories presented in this study of women whose economic status has benefited greatly from training programs.
The Experience of Learning in an Alternative Certification Program
Authors: Wagle Tina
Published: April 2019

This chapter describes an alternative teacher certification program to achieve two objectives. The first is to highlight the connection to experiential learning. This connection to experiential learning that underscores the strength of a program in which “work” is essential to gaining true knowledge. The second objective is to refute the negative perception that alternative teacher certification programs may carry due to the negative connotations associated with such programs. These objectives will be accomplished by describing the State University of New York (SUNY) Empire State College's Master of Arts in Teaching Program and demonstrating that it meets the high standards expected from any teacher preparation program. It is the author's hope that stakeholders with an investment in education and in teacher preparation, in particular, will not make unfounded assumptions about alternative preparations and instead understand that there are high quality alternative teacher certification programs that support the profession of teaching.
STREAM JIP – Insights into Steel Catenary Riser Response Using Measured Data

Published: April 2019

The objective of the STREAM (Steel Riser Enhanced Analytics using Measurements) JIP is to provide a measurement based foundation for SCR and lazy wave riser modelling to ensure that the fatigue response is assessed with adequate but not overly conservative parameters. To achieve this objective, the JIP utilizes field measurements from 4 in-service SCRs and 1 SLWR in water depths from 3,000 ft to 5,000 ft. The field measurements correspond to a range of environments including hurricanes and loop currents, riser functions, sizes, VIV suppression coverages and host vessels.

The processing commences with data QA, error assessment and data filtration. Riser response is categorized into wave dominated events, VIV events and others such as MIV events. As-built finite element riser models are developed and simulations are conducted using measured motions. The resulting analytical responses are compared with the measured motion and strain data to determine the level of conservatism or otherwise in typical riser wave fatigue analysis. SHEAR7 models driven by measured current profiles are used to compare predicted VIV response to observed VIV amplitudes and frequencies.

Analysis results indicate that industry standard fatigue assessment is indeed conservative. Sensitivities are conducted and presented on key design parameters that are known to be conservatively used in design such as hydrodynamic coefficients and SHEAR7 inputs. A set of parameters is derived that not only reduces fatigue damage bias but also improves the reliability in predictions. Recommendations are made with regards to further refinement of analysis parameters and understanding of atypical riser responses. Measured riser response that does not conform to typical wave and VIV spectra are presented and discussed.

The combined assessment of full scale field data from multiple catenary risers is an industry first. The results from this JIP offer valuable insight into riser response characterization with potential applications for SCR/SLWR life extension and more efficient new designs.

Note that in this paper, the term SCR is often used a generic term to describe both the regular SCR as well as the lazy wave implementation of it, the SLWR.
Fracture Mechanics Based Fatigue Assessment of an HPHT Valve Body
Authors: Sahoo Joshua , Campbell Mike , Cerkovnik Mark
Published: April 2019

The development of HPHT oilfield equipment has typically resulted in the construction of heavy-walled designs, where the increase in rated working pressure is accommodated by an increase in sectional thickness. This manner of design, however, is limited by practical difficulties which arise in the areas of manufacturing, handling/lifting, and uniformity of through-thickness material properties. Designs of more efficient size and weight may be developed by relaxing assumed design factors and hydrotest pressures, but this requires more rigorous analysis, validation, and QA measures.

In particular, designers must address the fatigue susceptibility of HPHT equipment which, even in purely static conditions, may fail under cycles of shut-in pressure alone. These failures typically originate from stress risers such as cross-bores, seat pockets, or transitions in bore diameter, which exhibit complex stress states under the action of internal pressure. A fracture mechanics (FM) based analysis of such features has presented a longstanding challenge to designers and analysts as general solutions for their KI and σref are not presently available.

It is therefore the objective of this paper to provide a useful methodology for conducting FM-based analysis of arbitrary geometry using the KI and σref solutions provided in API 579-1/ASME FFS-1. The method is presented in the form of a case study which describes the FM-based fatigue analysis of a seat pocket radius within a valve body. Here, the mode I behavior of a hypothetical surface-breaking, semi-elliptical flaw located at the seat pocket radius is evaluated by means of 3D finite element analysis.

This method generally comprises two parts. The first involves the development of a 3D finite element model similar to what would be used in a conventional durability analysis. From this model, stresses are extracted along an anticipated fracture plane and used in conjunction with a weight function method to derive KI and σref from solutions provided in API 579-1/ASME FFS-1. These solutions are then used to compute the number of cycles to unstable fracture.

The second part involves the direct incorporation of cracks into the finite element model. The approach benefits from a submodeling technique which reduces computational expense and allows the method to be used on complex structures. The numerical model is used in conjunction with conventional linear-elastic fracture mechanics assumptions to derive KI solutions for the geometry of interest. These KI results are used to confirm the conservatism of the code-based solutions and, thereby, the conservatism of the previous FM analysis.

The method described in this paper allows designers to rapidly develop and execute FM-based fatigue analyses of arbitrary geometric features in timeframes similar to those associated with traditional S-N analysis.
Ultra-Long Subsea Gas Condensate Tie Back – Pseudo Dry Gas – Liquid Handling System
Authors: Thomas Lee , Wood Terry , Pak Afshin , Liebana Laura , McLaurin David , Stokes Stephen
Published: April 2019

The Pseudo Dry Gas (PDG) technology / concept has been demonstrated for transporting wet gas in a long subsea tieback pipeline (200 km) in deep water depths (1.8 km) under wet gas conditions (water saturated gas) [Ref.1] along with a state of the art technology review of existing solutions. When a multiple of these in-line / piggable liquid removal units are used, they help to reduce the well back pressure by reducing the liquid content to an extent where ‘dry gas’ pressure losses are seen. Therefore, this mitigation of the gravitational pressure drop allows the use of larger pipelines to minimise the frictional pressure drop. This in turn increases recovery of reserves and allows tie back distances to be enhanced.

The objective of this paper is to investigate a Pseudo Dry Gas System (PDGS) for an ultra-long deep-water gas condensate development, building upon the research and development already conducted with Strathclyde University. This work was undertaken using non-standard flow assurance methodologies and simulations recycling data and results with the advanced Computational Fluid Dynamics simulations of the liquid removal units behaviour, over various operational boundary conditions. Engagement with subsea equipment suppliers based on the flow assurance results has been undertaken. This paper describes how gas condensates within a subsea tieback system behave very differently to condensed water from a wet gas system and therefore a pseudo dry gas system needs to be configured differently for gas condensate developments. These differences include how and where the liquid drops out of the gas phase, where and if the free liquid is reabsorbed back into the gas stream and how the bubble point of condensate is equal to or very close to liquid removal units operating pressure; this greatly impacts the liquid handling system compared to a wet gas (water) design. Therefore, to ensure controlled liquid only transportation, careful examination of the liquid removal units performance, the liquid pump selection criteria and optimisation of the system needs to be undertaken. This results in a trade-off between maximum reserve recovery and system complexity.

The paper demonstrates that the liquid condensate system will remain as a single liquid phase pipeline, where the number of pumps can be reduced and the pump power requirements are very low and within the existing technically qualified subsea pumps.
Heavy Wall Linepipe and Welding Solutions for HP/HT Pipelines
Authors: Jones Richard , Yamada Kenta
Published: April 2019

With the increasing drive towards high temperature/high pressure wells, particularly in deep water, riser designs are utilising increasingly heavier wall thickness pipe in conventional strength material, up to 50mm wall thickness in 8" and 10" OD X65 linepipe. In deep water, there is a cost preference to utilise steel catenary risers over other riser designs. Such riser designs are challenging existing seamless linepipe manufacturing and girth welding capabilities. Consequently, in order to establish confidence in the practical realisation of such riser designs there is a need to demonstrate: Adequate linepipe material weldability including the achievement of satisfactory HAZ, elevated temperature and sour service properties.Availability of cost effective girth welding solutions for pipeline fabrication.

Subsea 7 and Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal Corporation (NSSMC) collaborated on a development programme to qualify both linepipe material and welding solutions for the fabrication of pipelines of dimensions 273mm OD in both 35 and 45mm WT SMLS X65 linepipe.

The paper will demonstrate the technical feasibility of using heavy wall pipe for demanding riser applications installed subsea by the reel-lay method. The manufacture of seamless pipe in heavy wall thicknesses will be described together with the alloying and thermal treatment concepts involved. Details of the welding solution for pipeline fabrication will be reported together with the details of the scope and results of the qualification programme performed in support of reel-lay pipeline installation.

Evaluation of corroded chain link for continued use or life extension is a challenging task for the industry. ABS, together with fifteen (15) participating organizations, initiated the Fatigue of Corroded Chains (FoCCs) Joint Industry Project (JIP) in 2016. The objective of the FoCCs JIP is to investigate methodologies for assessing remaining fatigue life of the corroded mooring chain used for floating production systems. The JIP scope includes fatigue testing in labs and finite element analysis (FEA) of corroded chain samples retrieved from six floating production facilities in West Africa and the North Sea. The participating organizations include oil majors, chain manufactures, consulting firms, and classification societies, which represent a pool of broad range of mooring knowledge and experience. Knowledge gained from the JIP will be summarized and used toward the development of guidance notes for assessing fatigue life of corroded mooring chain for the industry.

Six sets of mooring chain samples with different corrosion conditions have been collected, cleaned and digitally scanned for fatigue testing and FEA. Procedures for testing and analysis have been developed with the objective of establishing commonly accepted methods. Different FEA procedures have been studied for making a better prediction of stress ranges of the corroded chain links. The findings from the fatigue testing and FEA will be utilized as basis for further development of the methods for fatigue assessment of corroded mooring chain. This paper summarizes the tests and FE analysis work for the selected chain samples. The JIP research work has found that corrosion, either general corrosion or local/pitting corrosion, can significantly reduce the chain fatigue capacity. The location and the geometry of corrosion pits have more impact on fatigue lives than the pit size. The JIP study has shown that FE analysis is an effective tool to capture the hot spot of corroded chain links and can provide insight in their fatigue performance. Different methods on the assessment of the stress range of a hot spot are compared and discussed.
Integrated Field Development: Process and Productivity
Authors: Sauve Robert , Lindvig Thomas , Stenhaug Morten , Holyfield Simon
Published: April 2019

Field development complexity in today's subsea industry is ever increasing; prospects tend to be smaller while located in deeper waters with deeper well targets, located farther from shore, and in colder regions. As a result, sanctioning projects in the current oil price environment is challenging and adopting efficient field development planning (FDP) processes is critical for project viability. This paper describes a fast-track, collaborative field development process to address these needs.

This fast-track field development process has been used with great success on numerous projects worldwide. The paper describes how the process integrates layout development and equipment selection with a fully integrated, holistic fluid flow simulation and establishes an excellent collaboration platform for the development team, fully enabling close interaction between teams that traditionally would not work closely together.

The paper demonstrates how experience gathered to date has clearly shown how the fully integrated approach to field development is crucial for the optimal development of the concept and how the result provides the highest return on investment.

Subsea production system and subsea umbilical, riser, and flowline specialists now work closely together with reservoir, production, and drilling engineers, ensuring the development of optimal solutions earlier in the FDP process and simultaneously enabling the teams to overcome the challenges that have previously been imposed by the segregation of different technical disciplines. The paper shows how key features of this process enable ultra-rapid scenario generation—a much shorter time from initial layout development to life-of-field production profiles—and how the process can be used to maximize overall economic performance for the project.

Published: April 2019

The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the characteristics and superiority of new SMR process by comparison with competitive proven technologies such as single mixed refrigerant (SMR) and dual mixed refrigerant (DMR) and showing stable operation without changing the MR composition under various feed stream conditions.

The new process has been developed based on SMR process that is used on current LNG production market to get higher performance showing the following attractive features in addition to the advantage of typical SMR process. ✓Achievement of Efficiency Enhancement by application of Advanced Vessel Economizer, Optimization of operating condition and Semi-DMR technologies✓Stable operation without changing the MR composition under various feed stream composition✓Compact configuration, easy operation and maintenance and low OPEX and CAPEX due to minimal equipment

Two case studies were conducted to demonstrate the above features.

The first case study is to compare the new SMR process with commercialized SMR and DMR process targeting at 3.5MTPA LNG production. As a result, the new SMR process showed 20.6% higher production efficiency than SMR-II Process [1] and 5.7% better than DRM process [2]. This means that less OPEX is required for the new liquefaction process. Also, the new liquefaction process required fewer equipment than the LNG SMR-II Process [1] and about half the number of equipment required than the LNG DMR Process [2], which means less CAPEX.

The second case study was conducted in the variation of actual feed composition such as typical case, high inert, low inert, rich gas and it is verified that new SMR process operated stably without significant change of the MR composition under various feed stream composition. Through two case studies, the features of new liquefaction process and superior performance were demonstrated.

Published: April 2019

Orientation: The study took place at the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (ZIMRA), an organisation noted to be undergoing varying challenges because of the macro-environmental issues in Zimbabwe.Research purpose: The study examined the moderating effect of employee motivation on workplace surveillance and employee engagement amongst employees at ZIMRA.Motivation for the study: Calls exist for studies that explore how organisations can assist their employees, especially within contexts deemed to be difficult to operate in.Research approach/design and method: This study adopted the positivist research philosophy and used the quantitative research approach. A self-administered questionnaire was sent to 364 respondents using an online survey. The study utilised the principles of structural equation modelling in analysing the data.Main findings: The results are twofold. Firstly, the results of the study show the existence of a relationship between workplace surveillance and employee engagement. Secondly, this relationship is partially moderated by employee motivation.Practical/managerial implications: There is need for ZIMRA management to involve employees when making decisions on issues about workplace surveillance. Such involvement may have an effect on outcomes such as engagement and motivation within the workplace.Contribution/value-add: The study contributes to the body of knowledge by noting that employee motivation moderates the relationship between workplace surveillance and employee engagement. Thus, the presence of workplace surveillance calls for more investment in employee motivation if employees are to remain engaged with their work.

La utopía liberada a partir del diálogo en Martin Buber y Zygmunt Bauman
Authors: Arredondo Miguel
Published: April 2019

Este artículo tiene como objetivo aproximarse a que la utopía como concepto es liberado a través de un diálogo contextualizado tanto en Martín Buber como en Zygmunt Bauman. Martín Buber, es del siglo pasado, claramente religioso, para él la utopía no es un concepto más, sino una forma de divinizar o idealizar la sociedad que se viene. En cambio, Bauman no tiene una preocupación por lo religioso, aunque encontramos en varios capítulos de sus obras miradas desde lo religioso. A parte del origen judío de ambos autores, hay algo fundamental en lo que se conectan como una solución a su mirada social, es el diálogo donde uno se hace más humano. Por eso, es importante analizar su concepción de utopía ya que ambos pensadores la asumen como un motor o un punto de partida para sus propuestas sociales. Incluso más, hay una búsqueda de los dos por la liberación del concepto de utopía de tendencias que buscan monopolizar dicho concepto.

Legados, peregrinos del tiempo, memorias ocultas: una mirada transgeneracional a través del cine
Authors: Kupferminc Margarita
Published: April 2019

El sujeto nace inmerso en un grupo familiar, portador de creencias, ritos, normas; y también secretos y memorias ocultas. Son legados que viajan a través de las generaciones y encuentran diferentes y múltiples modos de manifestarse.

A partir de Freud y la teoría psicoanalítica, el sujeto es convocado a pensarse como sujeto de una herencia que hace un aporte a lo recibido transgeneracionalmente.

Se realiza una investigación bibliográfica sobre el tema. Se propone el uso del dispositivo cinematográfico para contribuir a la ampliación de la escucha y comprensión del analista en el trabajo con el analizante para ayudarlo a reparar traumas.

El método empleado en el presente trabajo consiste en la realización de un recorte de la película “Un secreto” que evidencia lo que se quiere demostrar.

Se demuestra cómo la violencia social y situaciones silenciadas u ocultas, se transmiten aún sin palabras y pueden ser generadoras de traumas; pues hay un vínculo dialéctico entre la singularidad del sujeto y el legado cultural en el que adviene.

La Shoah, conocida como Holocausto, constituye el paradigma de horror supremo cometido por seres humanos a otros seres humanos. Sus consecuencias permiten pensar todas las formas que toma la violencia social.

Socio-political Violence in Cambodia Between 1990 and 2008: An Explanatory Mixed Methods Study of Social Coherence
Authors: Fergusson Lee C. , Cavanaugh Kenneth L.
Published: April 2019

The relationship between individual and group practice of the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi program andreductions in social stress, tension, and violence has been the topic of systematic exploration since the 1970s in Canada,India, Israel, Lebanon, New Zealand, Norway, the Philippines, Puerto Rico, United Kingdom, and United States.Findings from these quantitative studies have been published in leading international conflict resolution and peacestudies journals. However, research in Cambodia has to date only been of a descriptive and qualitative nature with afocus on economic and social variables not violence or crime.The purpose of the present study is therefore to examine socio-political violence in Cambodia between January 1990and December 1992 (the baseline period) and the possible influence of group practice of the Transcendental Meditationand TM-Sidhi program at Maharishi Vedic University (MVU) by 550 undergraduate students beginning in January1993 through December 2008 (the impact-assessment period). This study uses an explanatory mixed methods designto examine socio-political violence using time series analysis of machine-coded news reports (quantitative data) anddocument analysis of national and international media reports, personal statements, and public documents (qualitativedata).Results indicate that beginning in January 1993, when meditating students at MVU began their group practice, amarked downward shift occurred in the trends of socio-political violence and other forms of violent crime in Cambodia,contrary to predicted baseline trends and contrary to widespread community and media expectations. Such aconclusion can be drawn from both the quantitative and qualitative evidence when comparing baseline andimpact-assessment periods, suggesting that the observed decline in socio-political violence during this time wasassociated with an increase in peace, order, and harmony—that is, a rise of social coherence—in the collectiveconsciousness of Cambodia generated by the group of meditating students at MVU.
Transformational Leadership Style on Nursing Job Satisfaction Amongst Nurses in Hospital Settings: Findings From Systematic Review
Authors: Alzahrani Saleh , Hasan Abd Alhadi
Published: April 2019

BACKGROUND: The nursing shortage is a common problem in Saudi Arabia with multi-factorial causes. In addition to the low supply of Saudi graduate nurses from training facilities, job satisfaction remains a significant determinant of nurse turnover and intention to leave that contribute to the shortage of nursing workforce. The higher number of expatriate nurses who have a short stay compared to Saudi nurses compounds this problem. Therefore, effective strategies for making the nursing profession attractive and increasing nurse retention in Saudi Arabia are required.

OBJECTIVE: The general objective was to examine the impact of transformational leadership style on job satisfaction amongst nurses in hospital settings. Specifically, the appraisal examined how transformational leadership style improves nursing job satisfaction in hospital settings, determined the mediating factors of the relationship between transformational leadership style and nurses’ job satisfaction, and investigated nurses’ perceptions of transformational leadership style compared with other leadership styles.

METHODOLOGY: This study was used systematic review design with eight selected quantitative nursing research published between 2012 and 2017. A systematic search of the recent literature was conducted on PubMed, Scopus, Wiley Online, and Web of Science databases using search terms developed a priori to identify the articles that met the inclusion criteria. The quality of the included studies was evaluated by McMaster Critical Review Form for Quantitative Studies. Extracted data were summarised, explored and correlated using narrative synthesis.

FINDINGS: Eight studies of cross-sectional design were appraised. Transformational leadership style was positively related to nurses’ job satisfaction. Transactional leadership also had a positive correlation while passive-avoidant or laissez-faire style had a negative relationship. Transformational leadership improved nursing job satisfaction through its dimensions (idealised influence, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation and individualised consideration). Nurse empowerment and workplace support mediated the relationship between transformational leadership and nurse job satisfaction. Nurses had a higher perception of transformational style compared to other leadership styles, and job satisfaction was found to improve nurse and patient outcomes.

CONCLUSION: Transformational leadership appears to improve job satisfaction of nurses working in a hospital setting that leads to higher nursing retention. Hospital administrators and managers should practice transformational leadership to improve job satisfaction of staff nurses for better nursing outcomes, and leadership skills should be incorporated in the nursing education curriculum. However, further evaluation of transformational leadership in relation to its influencing factors is required.

Published: April 2019

Textile materials are used in protective footwear due to their good mechanical and hygienic properties and to provide thermal insulation. This work presents a technological process of designing ultrasonically welded composite structures characterised by various densities of welding spots. The study involved three variants of composite structures made of three layers. The composite structures developed were tested in terms of mechanical properties and were statistically analysed in terms of the effects of welding spot density and reinforcing nonwoven thickness on the protective parameters. Inserts made of ultrasonically spot-welded textile composite structures may offer protective footwear users greater comfort in terms of mechanical resistance. The evaluation method proposed may be a useful tool in assessing textile composite structure inserts for protective footwear.

Meinungsfreiheit und Rechtsextremismus
Authors: Klausmann Vincent
Published: April 2019

The charged relationship between the need for state repression against right-wing extremism and the guarantee of fundamental rights, especially freedom of speech, coined the controversial debate about § 130 IV StGB [German Criminal Code]. The volume works out how legislative encroachments on fundamental rights can be justified with the anti-Nazi basic principle of the German Basic Law. This basic principle is derived from the genesis of the Basic Law and the principles of the liberal democratic basic order. From the point of view of legal policy, this is an advocacy of far-reaching legislative powers with respect to the repression of National Socialist expressions of opinion. The volume outlines the scope of protection of freedom of speech in political statements, the current state of the discussion on the term of general law in article 5 II GG [Basic Law] and a political-scientific approach to the possibilities of dealing with right-wing extremism.

Kutukebul (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) merupakan serangga yang berperan sebagai hama pada tanaman hortikultura (buah-buahan, sayuran, dan tanaman hias). Kutukebul telah dikenal di Indonesia, tetapi belum banyak informasi mengenai keanekaragaman spesiesnya pada tanaman hortikultura. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui keanekaragaman spesies kutukebul di tanaman hortikultura yang menjadi tanaman inang kutukebul pada ketinggian tempat yang berbeda. Sampel kutukebul dikoleksi dari tanaman sayuran, buah-buahan, dan tanaman hias di lima wilayah di Jawa Barat, yaitu Bogor, Sukabumi, Cianjur, Bandung, dan Garut. Tempat pengambilan sampel dikelompokkan menjadi tiga kisaran ketinggian, yaitu dataran rendah, sedang, dan tinggi. Jumlah individu dan spesies kutukebul yang diperoleh dari masing-masing tanaman inang dan ketinggian dianalisis dengan menggunakan analisis keragaman (ANOVA) dengan uji lanjut Tukey (α = 0,05). Hubungan antara ketinggian tempat dan kelimpahan serta jumlah spesies kutukebul dianalisis dengan analisis regresi linier. Keanekaragaman spesies kutukebul diukur dengan indeks keanekaragaman Shannon dan Simpson. Rata-rata jumlah individu kutukebul yang terbanyak ditemukan pada tanaman sayuran (121,8 individu per tanaman), tetapi jumlah spesies terbanyak diperoleh dari tanaman buah-buahan (2,4 spesies per tanaman). Berdasarkan ketinggian tempat, rata-rata jumlah spesies kutukebul yang terbanyak ditemukan di dataran rendah (4,7 spesies), sedangkan yang paling sedikit ditemukan di dataran tinggi (1,6 spesies). Kelimpahan individu kutukebul meningkat seiring dengan peningkatan ketinggian tempat, sebaliknya jumlah spesiesnya menurun seiring dengan peningkatan ketinggian tempat. Keanekaragaman spesies kutukebul yang tertinggi terdapat di dataran rendah (H’ = 2,08), sedangkan keanekaragaman spesies yang terendah ada di dataran tinggi (H’ = 0,38). Namun berdasarkan indeks Simpson, di dataran tinggi ternyata terdapat dominasi spesies kutukebul (D = 0,54), yaitu dari spesies Aleurodicus dugesii Cockerell.
The Effects of Oil Price Shocks and Economic Fluctuations of Trading Partners on Iran's Ports Throughput
Authors: Parsa Hojat , Mirzaei Mehdi
Published: April 2019

This study aims to estimate the effects of oil price shocks on seaborne trade in Iran; in particular, port throughput of three leading ports through economic fluctuations of three major trading partners of Iran, based on quarterly data for the period of 1999Q2 to 2018Q1. We apply a standard vector autoregressive (VAR) approach using Cholesky decomposition. The results indicate that with increasing oil revenues in short-run, seaborne trade be further directed towards Shahid Rajaei port while rising oil revenues changes the combination of goods handled in Emam Khomeini and Bushehr ports. In the long run, the share of oil price fluctuations in explaining the variations of Shahid Rajaei port throughput is higher than the other two. In fact, increases in oil revenues cause an increase in the volume of industrial and containerized seaborne cargo trade.

Authors: Zak Andrzej
Published: April 2019

The article presents the control system of a single underwater vehicle which is a member of the underwater vehicles team. The application of the multi-agent system concept for modelling and controlling a team of homogeneous underwater vehicles is discussed. Issues relating to cooperation actions in the team of underwater vehicles are described and solved using the theory of games and vector quality index. The process of negotiations between the vehicles is modelled as a multiplayer cooperative game. Finally, the water region search tasks performed by a team of cooperating underwater vehicles are presented and discussed taking into account possible vehicle failures happening during task realization.
Diffusion of Innovation Assessment of Adoption of the Dry Port Concept
Authors: Roso Violeta , Russell Dawn , Rhoades Dawna
Published: April 2019

Dry ports, when implemented effectively, reduce seaport congestion, improve seaport throughput and, due to the movement of containers from road to rail, reduce harmful emissions. This study investigates the implementation of dry ports at five U.S. seaports, which is then analysed considering the diffusion of innovation attributes. Data for the study was collected through face-to-face interviews at US East Coast seaports of Miami, Everglades, Jacksonville, Savannah and Charleston. To ensure validity, the triangulation of data sources was performed; i.e. a number of secondary sources were used, such as reports, internal and external documents, as well as site visits to the facilities. Three components have been recognized as key to the successful dry port concept: on/near-dock rail, reliable inland rail connection and a functional inland intermodal facility. These three components have a diverse group of stakeholders, many of whom are unknown to one another; however, when coordinated, they create the innovation of the dry port concept. If the attributes of successful innovations are understood, with respect to their influence specifically on dry ports, then they can be managed to contribute to the successful implementation of dry ports. The novelty of the research lies in its approach of using the diffusion of innovation attributes that have been historically proven to impact the adoption rates of innovations to provide insight into the adoption of the dry port concept.
