Authors: Oh Heung Jin , Ashuri Baabak , Shahandashti Seyed Mohsen
Published: May 2022

The primary objective of this research is to characterize job market trends and identify patterns in Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accountability (IDEA) and Race, Ethnicity, and Language (REAL) in the construction industry. Workforce IDEA and REAL are major concerns in the construction industry. The construction industry has challenges of embracing the workforce IDEA and REAL such as age, language, sexual orientation, and disability. IDEA and REAL have impacts on hiring as well. However, there is a lack of data and research related to IDEA and REAL for the construction industry. In this respect, this research collects construction job market data using web scraping. Text mining techniques are then applied to detect words related to IDEA, REAL, job types, and wage changes during the web scraping period. We devise a new data-driven text mining model including the web scraping technique to provide market trends and identify patterns related to IDEA and REAL in the construction industry. This research will contribute to the body of knowledge of capturing the data regarding IDEA and REAL by harvesting large-scale data across disciplines in a searchable and organized structure.
Use of Pulverized Recycled Glass in Concrete
Authors: Plugge Warren
Published: May 2022

The potential to use recycled products in building methods and materials is important to consider. A problem exists in the recycling process where many city municipalities have removed glass recycling from their recycled waste stream forcing consumers to waste glass into a common waste stream for all waste. At Central Washington University (CWU), use of pulverized glass in concrete was analyzed to determine the difference in strength of the concrete when reducing the amount of virgin concrete sand in concrete as a material. With an applied research methodology, the researcher studied the effects of reducing virgin sand and replacing it with locally sourced pulverized glass. A control was used for a typical 3,000 psi concrete mix commonly found in structural concrete applications on roads, bridges, buildings, and foundations. Reductions in virgin sand were made at 25% and 50% and replaced with pulverized glass at the same percentage within the concrete mixture. Concrete compression tests were performed on three concrete 6-inch by 12- inch cylinder samples at the specified virgin sand and sand reduction levels using the American Society of Testing Materials (ASTM) standards. Results showed an eleven percent (11%) and twelve percent (12%) reduction in concrete strength using pulverized glass for sand.
Influence of Pedagogical Agent Deictic Gestures on Construction Management Students Learning within a 360-Degree Virtual Field Trip
Authors: Wen Jing , Zalake Shrishail , Gheisari Masoud
Published: May 2022

Field trips are widely recognized as an essential educational component to connect classrooms with the real world. When students don’t have access to real field trips, virtual ones have been developed by educators and researchers. Pedagogical agents have been applied to serve as a tour guide and educational tool that facilitate students learning in a virtual learning environment. Such agents are computer software generated and controlled entities that replicate or emulate humans. Previous studies have found that adding anthropomorphic traits to pedagogical agents in learning environments has significantly improved students’ learning experience; however, this area has yet been explored in the context of a virtual construction field trip. In this study, a virtual field trip to a complex mechanical room was developed using 360-degree panoramas and a pedagogical agent was employed to lead the tour. This study focuses on one single anthropomorphic trait - deictic gestures, which are pointing gestures used to refer to specific objects – and explores how such trait affects students’ quantitative learning outcomes and feedbacks on four aspects of the agent, including facilitating learning, credibility, human-like, and engaging. It was found that deictic gestures can improve students’ learning performance and attitudes on multiple aspects of the agent.
Effectiveness of Computer Models on Learning Outcomes in a Dynamics Course – A Pilot Study
Authors: Bhattacharya Arup , Mousavi Ehsan
Published: May 2022

The introductory courses in applied science education are formative and shape problem-solving skills. The application of gained knowledge beyond college is crucial to the success of engineers in the industry. As hands-on, active learning is key to understanding and analyzing a problem, the traditional instructional method often lacks these components. Courses such as Engineering Dynamics are usually deemed hard because the classroom experience does not augment the visualization of parts in motion. In this pilot study, the student's learning outcome in an Engineering Dynamics course was assessed by comparing the students' performance in solving dynamic problems with and without computer simulation models. Measuring student scores in problem-solving exercises, this paper demonstrated that computer-generated simulation models could be beneficial for the students to better grasp the dynamic concepts through engaging in active learning. Statistically significant differences were shown in the score when comparing a student group that used interactive simulation models to solve a dynamic problem with another group that had access to a stationary figure describing the system's initial state.
Success Factors in the Implementation of Flow Scheduling
Authors: Saad Ihab , Harmon Guy
Published: May 2022

Planning and scheduling are two essential functions leading to the successful management of a construction project. With more complex projects, more sophisticated clients, and shorter timeframes for project development from inception to completion, new scheduling techniques emerge building on the successes and learning from the failures of previous efforts. One of the relatively new scheduling techniques benefiting from lean construction principles and the application of concepts such as Last Planner and Reverse Phase Scheduling is Flow scheduling. Flow scheduling is becoming gradually a mainstream technique in the scheduling of projects with aggressive schedules. It builds on the concept of Takt, Location Based Management System (LBMS), and Pull scheduling where each participating performer looks at the workflow allowing for the activity to start on time when all the required resources are lined up based on discussions and compromises among project team members. Several factors can enhance or impede the successful implementation of Flow. This paper addresses some of these factors and illustrates the successful use of Flow scheduling through a case study.
Analysis of U.S. Construction “Fatal Four” Fatalities investigated by OSHA in 2019
Authors: Jenkins James
Published: May 2022

Due to the dangerous nature of construction work, thousands of U.S. construction workers are injured and hundreds are killed on American worksites each year. In 2019, the U.S. construction industry accounted for one thousand and sixty-one (1,061) work-related fatalities, which amounts to a five percent (5%) increase from the previous year and the largest total number of annual worker deaths since 2007. This research study examined the Occupational Safety & Heath Administration (OSHA) construction fatality investigation findings during 2019 and organized these data points into four (4) major fatality-type categories and forty-nine (49) detailed types of events to identify potential trends for these fatal incidents.
Construction Worker-Drone Safety Training in a 360 Virtual Reality Environment: A Pilot Study
Authors: Cheng Jiun-Yao , Lunardini Silva Mendes Eduardo , Gheisari Masoud , Jeelani Idris
Published: May 2022

Integrating drones into construction sites can introduce new risks to workers who already work in hazardous environments. Consequently, several recent studies have investigated the safety challenges and solutions associated with this technology integration in construction. However, there is a knowledge gap about effectively communicating such safety challenges to construction professionals and students who may work alongside drones on job sites. In this study, a 360-degree virtual reality (VR) environment was created as a training platform to communicate the safety challenges of worker-drone interactions on construction jobsites. This pilot study assesses the learning effectiveness and user experience of the developed 360 VR worker-drone safety training, which provides an immersive device-agnostic learning experience. The result indicates that such 360 VR learning material could significantly increase the safety knowledge of users while delivering an acceptable user experience in most of its assessment criteria. The outcomes of this study will serve as a valuable resource for improving future worker-drone safety training materials.
Pragmatic Development of a Cybersecurity Module for Construction Education
Authors: Sands Kenneth , Suh Min Jae
Published: May 2022

Technology use has significantly increased in the construction industry. The industry creates large amounts of confidential, sensitive, or proprietary information which is susceptible to unauthorized access by cybercriminals and access to network infrastructure can create havoc on construction companies. Construction students must apply electronic-based technology to manage the construction process, but based on various cyber incidents, construction students should also understand their responsibility regarding cybersecurity when working with the various technology. The problem is that it is already difficult to incorporate new content in an already tight construction curriculum and there is no academic literature that provides guidance on how to teach this type of topic. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to provide the course development process undertaken to develop a module on cybersecurity for construction. Using this framework in combination with a three-phase framework, the authors have outlined the assumptions about the learner and society; the aims and objectives; content or subject matter with its selection, scope and sequence; modes of transaction; and evaluation methods for the module. The authors expect that this module will be used by educators to further cybersecurity instruction which will hopefully mitigate cybersecurity incidences in the construction industry.
A Post-Construction Evaluation of Long-term Success in LEED-certified Residential Communities
Authors: Goodarzi Mohsen , Berghorn George
Published: May 2022

In this study, a post-construction evaluation model was developed to identify the determinants of the long-term success of sustainable residential projects from users’ points of view. To do this, a primary model was developed based on the existing theories and models including measures adopted from LEED standards and UC Berkeley’s Center for the Built Environment (CBE) tool. The model included four predictor variables investigating the perceived performance of buildings, infrastructure, neighborhood, and economic aspects. The response variable was residential satisfaction as the determinant of long-term success. The data was collected through an online survey from the residents of LEED-certified residential communities in the USA (n=192). After validating the model through confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), the relationships between the independent and dependent variables were evaluated through structural equation modeling (SEM). The results showed that the perceived building performance was the most influential factor in determining satisfaction followed by the perceived neighborhood design while perceived infrastructure performance and perceived cost performance did not show any significant effect in determining satisfaction. The findings benefit researchers by providing a model for the evaluation of the long- term performance of green buildings and providing opportunities for practitioners to determine priorities for future sustainable residential development projects.
Conscious Intelligent Buildings: Envisioning the Next Generation of Smart Buildings
Authors: Pishdad-Bozorgi Pardis , Zeng Qinghao
Published: May 2022

As one of the major industries that consume vast energy annually, the built environment industry is continuously exploring new building designs that would satisfy both occupants and the sustainability requirements. Considered as a new trend of building design for achieving economic, environmental, and occupant satisfaction goals, smart buildings are gaining momentum in research and development. Occupant-based design is considered an innovative idea for smart building automation systems as it aspires to focus on satisfying occupant’s needs while saving energy and reducing waste. This positioning paper argues that next in the evolution of buildings is conscious intelligent buildings, characterized by their cognitive capabilities, creativity, and empathy akin to human self-awareness. Based on the literature review which served as the methodology, the evolving advancements in meta-data, Internet of Things (IoT), and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are potentially making this next paradigm possible. As for results, this article proposes a framework for defining conscious intelligent building. Its unique characteristics and underlying vision provide a new paradigm for leveraging big data analytics in the built environment. Enabled with cognitive and empathic interaction with the occupants, this achievement of higher intelligence can alter human-building relationship toward trust and thus increasing occupants’ satisfaction and emotional health in the built environment.

Authors: Karbasiahvazi Ali , Olbina Svetlana , Elliott Jonathan
Published: May 2022

Studies investigating the construction project stakeholders experience with implementing laser scanning and photogrammetry as Reality Capture Technologies (RCT) in the US commercial building sector are limited. Therefore, this study explored the status of construction project stakeholders experience with the use of RCT. The research aimed to answer questions regarding stakeholder’s personal experience with RCT and their companies’ use of RCT on commercial projects, RCT use on the specific commercial building project types, and use of RCT on both new construction and renovation projects in the commercial sector. A survey was distributed to owners/developers, designers, contractors, and Construction Managers (CMs)/owner representatives in the US. Survey findings indicated that the majority of the respondents had heard of RCT, used RCT personally, and worked for the companies that used RCT on their projects. Core and shell buildings, healthcare, and education projects were the major commercial project types on which participants reported using RCT. Additionally, participants reported implementing RCT on both new construction and renovation projects. The research contributes to the body of knowledge by providing the current status of RCT use on commercial building projects by US construction project stakeholders.

Authors: Nabil Fahim Ridwan , Namian Ph.D. Mostafa , Shukes Jerry , Batie Ph.D. David L. , Al-Mhdawi M. K. S.
Published: May 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected all industries, including the construction industry. In addition to being a hazard-prone environment, construction also has the highest number of occupational fatalities. Construction workers have been affected more severely by this disease than the general public. The availability of vaccines has fueled optimism, with vaccination considered the safest and most effective method of protecting against COVID-19. However, vaccinating the workforce to achieve herd immunity has been difficult as the acceptance rate appears to be a significant hurdle. The purpose of this study is to assess construction workers' acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccine after it became widely available. A two-step research methodology was used in this research that included: 1) a comprehensive literature review looked at COVID-19 vaccination rates in the U.S. and construction workers' unwillingness to get vaccinated and 2) a qualitative questionnaire survey to assess worker acceptance. Results showed 43% of construction workers have not received the COVID-19 vaccine, while 41% refused the vaccine. To increase vaccination acceptance among construction workers, construction stakeholders should supply safety training and improve the safety culture within their organizations.
COVID-19 and the 2021 ASC International Conference: Opportunities and Challenges Ahead
Authors: Farrow C. Ben , Wentz Blake
Published: May 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic caused massive disruption across the world, affecting all organizations. The Associated Schools of Construction (ASC) shifted its 2020 International Conference to a virtual, asynchronous event. In 2021, a virtual, synchronous ASC International Conference was sponsored by California State University-Chico and offered in April 2021. This study collected participant feedback on the 2021 virtual conference event to gage participation in a virtual event, determine perceptions of the online conference (as compared to an in-person event), and determine if there were aspects of the conference that could effectively be offered as a virtual or hybrid option in future ASC conferences. The results indicated that items such as the paper presentations could be effectively offered as virtual events in future conferences, and if a hybrid or virtual option was available, a significant portion of ASC members indicated that this would make them more inclined to participate in future conferences. Conversely, most respondents indicated that the conference was best held as an in-person event. Results suggests that although the in-person conference should continue, an opportunity may exist for ASC to broaden its engagement with construction education and further its mission to advance construction education.

Authors: Maali Omar , Lines Brian , Shalwani Amirali , Smithwick Jake , Sullivan Kenneth
Published: May 2022

The construction industry is an industry that relies heavily on labor and skilled personnel. While workforce shortage is currently increasing due to current market conditions and shifting demographics. Innovative human resource management practices, such as the use of human factor measurements should be developed to overcome the current and future challenges. The study developed a Human Factor (HF) instrument with three components: personality inventory, emotional intelligence, and behavioral measurement. 182 participants within four job roles Project Managers (PMs), Field Leaders (FLs), Estimators (ESTs), and Detailers (VDCs) from the sheet and metal contractors have taken the HF instrument. Comparison results showed that the four job roles have several differences in HF, including FLs had higher Modesty than PMs; FLs had lower Openness to Experience than VDCs; FLs had higher Greed-Avoidance, lower Fairness, and lower Inquisitiveness than ESTs; PMs had higher Dependence, higher Sentimentality, and lower Creativity than VDCs; PMs had lower Prudence than ESTs, and there were no statistically significant differences between VDCs and ESTs. These results can help contractors hire, develop, and maintain talent in their organizations. Given the limited number of participants, future research is recommended to expand the data pool to other specialty trades across the construction industry.

Authors: McCuen Tamera , Ghosh Somik , Fasalojo Olasoji
Published: May 2022

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19), which was declared as a global health emergency by World Health Organization (WHO) had a profound impact on the construction industry. The disruptions created due to the shutdown of construction projects, manufacturing facilities, and major international transportation hubs because of the pandemic impacted the construction industry which is still unfolding. The goal of this study was to investigate the effect of COVID-19 on construction project performance using metrics previously established by the Construction Industry Institute (CII). Data was collected through surveys from construction professionals in the US across various sectors of the industry provided valuable insights about the immediate impact of COVID-19 on project performance. Project performance was measured in terms of the CII’s five metrics: cost, schedule, rework, changes, and safety. Out of them, cost, schedule, and changes were significantly impacted due to the pandemic. The survey responses also revealed the measures adopted by companies to abate the effects of COVID-19 on project performance and the steps taken to enhance project performance during this period.
Construction Project Level-based Environmental, Social, and Governance (C-ESG): A Review
Authors: Kim Sungjin , Chang Soowon
Published: May 2022

Sustainable business has been shed light on as a new way of business success by emphasizing global and local responsibility of environment, community, society, and economy in the industry and company levels. Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors of construction companies have often been evaluated by aggregating sustainability performance of their projects. However, the ESG is still underperforming in the project level. Therefore, the objective of this research is to propose the concept of the construction project level ESG (C-ESG) for facilitating sustainability practices in the construction industry. C-ESG intends to guide the valuation of non- financial performance in ESG and to achieve a higher level of sustainable development goals (SDG) for the construction project. A comprehensive literature review was conducted to consolidate evaluation metrics and key concepts in ESG, and adapt the ESG framework to the construction project context. In the project levels, three conceptual applications of the ESG framework can be considered: identifying priority public investment projects, supporting the bid/no-bid decisions, and monitoring and evaluating project progress. This research identified the needs and opportunities of C-ESG. In the future, further studies will be conducted to define key performance indicators (KPIs), metrics, and quantification methods in the three C-ESG types.

Of Heroes and Cods’ Heads: Saga Meets Film in Gerpla
Authors: Kristjánsdóttir Bergljót Soffía
Published: May 2022

ABSTRACT: Halldór Laxness’s satirical novel Gerpla (1952) is a socially analytic work that lays bare various misconceptions about Icelandic
medieval literature celebrated by the Nazis as well as many Icelanders in the first
half of the twentieth century. When it first appeared it was considered by many to
have been written in medieval Icelandic and some argued that Halldór Laxness had become
“the most conservative” of Icelandic writers (Pétursson 40). In reality, the language of the novel is Halldór’s own creation. This article reviews
the narrative construction of Gerpla, considering changes in Halldór’s literary career as he began to address the ancient
Icelandic narrative tradition (Íslandsklukkan) as well as film (Atomstöðin) in the nineteen forties. This reveals how Gerpla uses methods of both modern film and medieval literature, such as quotation, montage,
and shock effect, to present readers with a defamiliarized saga world.
Afterword: Whatever Happened to the Sagas?
Authors: Jakobsson Ármann
Published: May 2022

ABSTRACT: The author, who has himself written novels inspired by the Middle Ages,
discusses the development of medievalism in Icelandic literature since Halldór Laxness’s
Gerpla (1952)—with a particular eye on novels composed since 2000.
Old Norse Studies and Collective Memory: An Introduction
Authors: Nygaard Simon , Tirosh Yoav
Published: May 2022

ABSTRACT: This special issue of Scandinavian-Canadian Studies / Études scandinaves au Canada is the result of a number of sessions organized by guest editors Yoav Tirosh and
Simon Nygaard for the 2018 International Medieval Congress (IMC) at Leeds and supported
by the Memory and the Pre-Modern North network. This introduction serves to contextualize
the study of collective memory within the field of Old Norse as well as introduce
some of the key theoretical concepts discussed in the issue. The formation and transmission
of collective memory in pre-literate and literate societies are explained, with an
eye towards the cognitive elements at play. Finally, the issueʼs articles are discussed,
as is the logic of the compilation. This special issue hopes to expand the already
thriving field of collective memory studies in Old Norse, building upon the work already
done and offering new directions forward.
The Fimbulvetr Myth as Medicine against Cultural Amnesia and Hybris
Authors: Maraschi Andrea
Published: May 2022

ABSTRACT: An increasing number of scholars has associated the Fimbulvetr myth with
the dust veil event of 536 CE, due to several apparent consistencies between its representations
in eddic tradition, contemporary historical accounts, and modern scientific evidence.
In this article such consistencies are first summarized, with the aim of enhancing
the debate and explaining why recording the dust veil event could have been important
to its witnesses and to the creation of their cultural memory. Dendrochronological
and archaeological evidence suggests that the 536 CE event was probably catastrophic,
and this article argues that its memory may have been preserved and recorded in myth.
The related myth may have had the purpose of handing down important teachings to future
generations: the awareness that life is cyclically threatened by natural disasters,
the value of humbleness before nature, and the hope that, no matter what happens,
humankind is going to survive.
The Forgotten King of Denmark – Haraldr II
Authors: Gülen Deniz Cem
Published: May 2022

ABSTRACT: King Haraldr II ruled the Kingdom of Denmark from 1014 to 1018; however,
his reign is challenging to study due to a lack of source material. A detailed analysis
of the written primary sources from Denmark and Iceland—such as Saxo’s Gesta Danorum, Chronicon Roskilde, and Knýtlinga saga—gives the impression that the Danes wanted to forget Haraldr II by deliberately omitting
his brief reign from these narratives. This article investigates the possible reasons
why Danish historians of the eleventh and twelfth centuries may have wanted to collectively
forget Haraldr. To demonstrate how Haraldr has been omitted from historical narratives,
this study compares a variety of different primary sources from Scandinavia and England,
in order to gather as much information as possible on the topic. The article subsequently
explores three possible explanations as to why Haraldr has been omitted: (1) the possibility
that Haraldr reverted to pre-Christian religious beliefs, contradicting medieval historians’
perspectives of a true king, (2) transmission of the sources in the medieval ages
and (3) a lack of worthwhile events during the height of medieval Danish success.
Memory, Trauma, and Cultural Semiotics - An Extensive Review
Authors: Rösli Lukas
Published: May 2022

ABSTRACT: The following review-article deals with three publications that have been
released in recent years, all of which can be read in the context of memory studies
through the mention of memory in their titles. It is evident that memory studies has
become a field of research that ranges from the humanities to the social sciences
to the natural sciences, with the only common denominator being the object of study
of memory. But what memory is, how memory is constituted, or how it can be analyzed
or even made measurable is where the publications discussed differ strikingly. The
aim of this review is therefore not to place the three publications in a singular
context but rather, by discussing their differences, to show how diverse memory studies
is as a field and to present what the breadth of different approaches that look beyond
oneʼs own disciplinary boundaries can offer regarding the future engagement with memory
in Scandinavian studies and especially in Scandinavian medieval studies.
As instituições fazendárias provinciais no contexto da Revolução do Porto e da Independência do Brasil
Authors: Chaves Cláudia Maria Graça
Published: May 2022

A Revolução do Porto, constitucionalista e liberal, produziu efeitos imediatos e simultâneos no território americano. A simples notícia de seu acontecimento e da convocação das Cortes Gerais em Lisboa foi suficiente para desencadear os primeiros movimentos de juntas governativas no Brasil, dando início ao processo sem retorno de reforço dos poderes e instituições regionais. Esse foi o caso das Juntas da Real Fazenda, que eram órgãos colegiados presididos, até então, pelos capitães-generais. Nosso objetivo aqui é discutir como as repartições fazendárias estiveram no centro de discussão sobre a reformulação dos poderes regionais e conseguiram manter a continuidade mesmo nos momentos de maior tensão entre as Cortes portuguesas e a Corte do Rio de Janeiro até a Independência do Brasil. Ainda que não tenham sobrevivido ao fim do Primeiro Reinado, as Juntas de Fazenda lançaram as bases de forte representação de interesses e de poderes regionais.
Trabalho, escravidão e liberdade em estabelecimentos fabris dos séculos XVIII e XIX
Authors: Danieli Neto Mário
Published: May 2022

O artigo trata das relações entre trabalhadores escravizados e livres em estabelecimentos fabris do século XIX. A presença de escravizados em todas as funções na sociedade escravista do período pós-independência era marcante e, mesmo nas atividades manufatureiras ainda incipientes, a participação de cativos era constante. Escravizados, libertos e livres eram empregados em fábricas que, apesar da estrutura econômica agrária e exportadora do país, mantinham uma produção de certa relevância no século XIX. Discute-se ainda a existência de fábricas em uma sociedade escravista, evitando-se, contudo, abordagens dicotômicas. Sobretudo, buscou-se pensar acerca das experiências de vidas de trabalhadores escravizados dentro desses estabelecimentos, apontando estratégias de resistência, lutas por melhores condições de existência, possibilidades de acesso à liberdade e a formação de laços de solidariedade. Distintas realidades socioeconômicas regionais marcam tais experiências, por meio das quais se percebem os conflitos entre “civilização” e a violência institucionalizada da escravidão na nação recém-constituída.
Da moeda metálica à moeda fiduciária: as transformações do meio circulante na construção do Império do Brasil (1808-1840)
Authors: Cerqueira Lima Fernando
Published: May 2022

A passagem de um sistema monetário baseado em moeda metálica para um sistema de moeda fiduciária ocorreu na Europa e nas Américas em diferentes velocidades. No Brasil, tal processo foi particularmente rápido: no breve período entre a transferência da Corte portuguesa e o fim do Primeiro Reinado, o papel-moeda inconversível substituiu a moeda metálica como meio circulante. Este artigo discute as causas dessa substituição, que parte da historiografia atribui a “vícios” do sistema monetário herdado do período colonial e a equívocos na condução da política econômica – em particular, às alterações no valor da moeda metálica e às emissões de papel-moeda pelo Banco do Brasil. Sugerimos que a saída de metais decorreu de déficits no balanço de pagamentos e que o acesso a novas formas de senhoriagem pelo poder central mostrou-se um expediente necessário para o financiamento das despesas gerais e militares nos primeiros estágios da construção do Império do Brasil.
Comércio luso-brasileiro no Rio da Prata e a Independência do Brasil: continuidades e rupturas (1777-1824)
Authors: Prado Fabrício
Published: May 2022

O comércio com as colônias espanholas do Rio da Prata, desde o século XVI, foi central para a economia luso-brasileira, e levou à fundação da Colônia do Sacramento em 1680, um entreposto comercial luso-brasileiro no Rio da Prata. A conquista espanhola da Colônia do Sacramento (1777) não significou o fim da rota entre Rio da Prata e Brasil; ao contrário, no período tardo-colonial, houve o aumento da intensidade e do volume das trocas entre o Prata e o Brasil, incluindo um aumento expressivo no tráfico de escravizados e a ampliação das trocas comerciais – ainda que tais interações fossem muitas vezes classificadas como comércio de contrabando. O presente artigo apresenta uma análise das rotas, das estratégias e do volume do comércio entre o Brasil (especialmente Rio de Janeiro) e o Rio da Prata no período tardo-colonial, enfatizando rupturas e continuidades nesse circuito mercantil vinculadas ao processo de independência do Brasil (1808-1822).

Purse seine fishing significantly contribute to fish production at Tamperan fishing port, Pacitan. However decreasing production trend is threatening as a result of overfishing and poor information about fishing seasonal patterns. Purse seine at Tamperan port mostly catch highly valued pelagic fish. Those fish are popular in the region and caught its respective seasonal patterns. The research aims at calculating the fishing productivity and identifying the seasonal pattern of the major targeted species of purse seine based at the Tamperan fishing Port, Pacitan. The research was conducted by interviewing 18 fishers, head of fish auction center and some offers of Tamperan fishing port. Data collection incorporated catch production, types of fish, fishing trips and other data. Productivity was calculated according to KEPMEN N0.61/2014 while fish season patterns were projected using time series and moving average methods. During the last 5 years the fish production landed at PPP Tamperan were skipjack, mackerel scad, and tuna. The number of productions decreased as well as the level of productivity. Factors affecting productivity included the number of crew members, fishing trips, gross tonnage, engine, and net length. Purse seine productivity based on the number of fishing trips (ton/trip) has increased while others have decreased. According to the fish seasons, the best period to conduct purse seine operations in Pacitan Regency are in March, May-September (skipjack), December-February, April-May (mackerel scad), and January-April, July, August (tuna).

The local community has caught mud crabs for years and increased fishing pressures, leading to biological structure changes. Accordingly, studying the growth pattern, condition factors, and structure of mud crab in the Sanrangang River, Takalar Regency, South Sulawesi Province is necessary. This research was conducted from June to August 2020 in the Sanrangang River, Takalar Regency, South Sulawesi Province. This study compared the efficiency and effectiveness of three types of bubu, namely folding bubu, rakkang and wheel bubu based on the experimental fishing by using tilapia as the bait. Data were analyzed by Chi-Square non-parametric test. Results showed that the catch of mud crabs for folding bubu, rakkangs, and wheel bubu was 120; 107; and 110 species. The width and weight of mud crabs’ carapace caught by each bubu were as follows: from folding bubu ranged from 34.07 to 99.02 mm (60.34 ± 15.06 mm) and 21.62 to 389.57 g (92.41 ± 75.38 g); rakkang ranged from 35.09 to 98.51 mm (66.91 ± 13.95 mm) and 21.94-297.29 g (87.86 ± 34.35 g) and wheel bubu ranged from 34.21- 98.11 mm (66.32 ± 16.83 mm) and 22.01-485.45 g (102.17 ± 79.87 g). The growth patterns of the catch from all gear were negative allometric. The condition factors of folding bubu, rakkangs, and wheel bubu ranged from 0.40631-2.3998, 0.4598-2.4553 and 0.4962-3.1098 respectively. The gear producing the highest weight and the best condition factor was wheel bubu.

The exposure factor is one of the important parameters in optimizing the radiographic examination. This study aimed to analyze the value of the Signal To Noise Ratio (SNR) against the use of the 15% kV rule method in the examination of Chest AP Supine. Descriptive quantitative research method conducted in the laboratory of the Department of diagnostic imaging and radiotherapy, Health Polytechnic of the Ministry of Health, Jakarta 2, using computer radiography, X-rays, piranha radiation detectors, and anthropomorphic phantoms, with statistical analysis of the Pearson test to determine the level of relationship between SNR and Exposure Index (EI). Against the 15% kV rule method, then the one-way ANOVA test to determine the effect of the 15% method on changes in value. The results of the Pearson test obtained a p-value of 0.820 with a strong relationship between SNR and EI against the 15% kV method. Therefore, using an exposure factor of 15% kV rule method makes it possible to control the SNR and EI values. The one way ANOVA test has a p-value of 0.943, so there is no significant difference in the SNR value to changes in the exposure factor with the 15% kV rule method so that the optimization of the exposure factor with the 15% kV rule method can reduce the radiation dose while maintaining the image quality radiographic
