Learning mid-IR emission spectra of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon populations from observations
Authors: Foschino S. , Berné O. , Joblin C.
Published: October 2019

Context. The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) will deliver an unprecedented quantity of high-quality spectral data over the 0.6−28 μm range. It will combine sensitivity, spectral resolution, and spatial resolution. Specific tools are required to provide efficient scientific analysis of such large data sets.

Aims. Our aim is to illustrate the potential of unsupervised learning methods to get insights into chemical variations in the populations that carry the aromatic infrared bands (AIBs), more specifically polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) species and carbonaceous very small grains (VSGs).

Methods. We present a method based on linear fitting and blind signal separation (BSS) for extracting representative spectra for a spectral data set. The method is fast and robust, which ensures its applicability to JWST spectral cubes. We tested this method on a sample of ISO-SWS data, which resemble most closely the JWST spectra in terms of spectral resolution and coverage.

Results. Four representative spectra were extracted. Their main characteristics appear consistent with previous studies with populations dominated by cationic PAHs, neutral PAHs, evaporating VSGs, and large ionized PAHs, known as the PAHx population. In addition, the 3 μm range, which is considered here for the first time in a BSS method, reveals the presence of aliphatics connected to neutral PAHs. Each representative spectrum is found to carry second-order spectral signatures (e.g., small bands), which are connected with the underlying chemical diversity of populations. However, the precise attribution of theses signatures remains limited by the combined small size and heterogeneity of the sample of astronomical spectra available in this study.

Conclusions. The upcoming JWST data will allow us to overcome this limitation. The large data sets of hyperspectral images provided by JWST analysed with the proposed method, which is fast and robust, will open promising perspectives for our understanding of the chemical evolution of the AIB carriers.
Edge-bipancyclicity in conditional edge-faulty k-ary n-cubes
Authors: Wang Shiying , Zhang Shurong
Published: October 2019

The class of k-ary n-cubes represents the most commonly used interconnection topology for parallel and distributed computing systems. In this paper, we consider the faulty k-ary n-cube with even k ≥ 4 and n ≥ 2 such that each vertex of the k-ary n-cube is incident with at least two healthy edges. Based on this requirement, we investigate the fault-tolerant capabilities of the k-ary n-cube with respect to the edge-bipancyclicity. We prove that in the k-ary n-cube Qnk, every healthy edge is contained in fault-free cycles of even lengths from 6 to |V(Qnk)|, even if the Qnk has up to 4n − 5 edge faults and our result is optimal with respect to the number of edge faults tolerated.

Published: October 2019

Objectives We aimed to compare the currently used nodal staging system (pN) with the number of metastatic lymph node (LN) stations (sN) and the number of metastatic LNs (nN) on survival in patients with NSCLC.

Methods Between 2010 and 2017, 1038 patients resected for NSCLC were analyzed. We performed three-different stratifications of LN status assessment: pN-category (pN0, pN1 and pN2); sN-category (sN0, sN1; one station metastasis, sN2; two-three stations metastases, and sN3; ≥ 4 stations metastasis); nN-category (nN0, nN1; one-three LNs metastasis, nN2; four-six Lns metastasis, and nN3; ≥ 7 LNs metastasis).

Results Five-year survival rate was 70.1% for N0 in all classifications. It was 54.3% for pN1, and 26.4% for pN2 (p < 0.0001). Five-year survival rates for N1, N2, and N3 categories were 54.1%, 42.4% and 16.1% according to sN, and 51.4%, 36.1%, and 7.9% according to nN, respectively (p < 0.0001). In multivariate analysis, sN and nN were independent risk factors such as pN (p < 0.0001). Hazard ratios versus N0 for N1, N2, and N3 were more significant for sN and nN than pN (1.597, 2.176, and, 3.883 for sN, 1.645, 2.658, and, 4.118 for nN, and 1.576, 3.222 for pN, respectively). When the subcategories of sN and nN were divided into pN1 and pN2 subgroups, the anatomic location of the LN involvement lost importance as tumor burden and tumor spreading increased.

Conclusion The number of metastatic LN stations and the number of metastatic LNs are better prognostic factors than currently used nodal classification in NSCLC.

Published: October 2019

Noncovalent Li···H interaction was utilised as a tool for the second lithiation of 4-lithio-1,8-bis(dimethylamino)naphthalene with n-BuLi in the presence of TMEDA in hexane. Metallation proceeds with 100% selectivity in the second peri-position and with up to 90% yield. A series of 4,5-disubstituted derivatives of 1,8-bis(dimethylamino)naphthalene has been prepared in good to excellent yield after quenching the reaction mass with different electrophiles.

Authors: van der Valk Paul R. , Mauser-Bunschoten Eveline P. , van der Heijden Jeroen F. , Schutgens Roger E. G.
Published: October 2019

Background Management of atrial fibrillation (AF) is complex in patients with bleeding disorders. Catheter ablation such as pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) has been suggested in cases with bleeding disorders. However, data on safety are missing. This report describes the outcome of PVI in patients with bleeding disorders.

Methods A retrospective study in our hemophilia treatment center of patients who underwent a PVI in 2014 to 2018. PVI was done according to local protocol. Clotting factor was given periprocedural. Postprocedural anticoagulation was given for at least 4 weeks, with clotting factor suppletion if needed to maintain factor VIII (FVIII) levels >0.20 IU/mL.

Results and Discussion Five patients with hemophilia and one with von Willebrand disease were included. Eight PVIs were performed. Target FVIII levels (>0.80 IU/mL) were met before the procedure. Postprocedural anticoagulation was given: vitamin K antagonist (VKA) or direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) dabigatran. All patients obtained long-term sinus rhythm, in two patients after a second PVI. However, late recurrent AF occurred in one patient after 42 months. A notable incidence of groin bleeds was observed: two of eight interventions (25%) compared with 0.9% in the general population. Bleeding seemed to be related to agitation, early mobilization, and bridging of VKA with low molecular weight heparin (LMWH). No relevant bleeding was observed when on DOAC therapy.

Conclusion PVI seems to be effective in the case of bleeding disorders. To reduce the groin bleeds agitation and early mobilization should be avoided and DOAC is preferred over bridging VKA with LMWH.
On the interaction between turbulent vortex rings of a synthetic jet and porous walls
Authors: Xu Yang , Li Zhi-Yu , Wang Jin-Jun , Yang Li-Jun
Published: October 2019

Time-resolved particle image velocimetry was applied to investigate turbulent vortex rings generated by a synthetic jet impacting porous walls. By varying the nondimensional diameter of the hole (dh* = 0.067–0.20), we chose four porous walls with a constant porosity (ϕ = 75%) to examine the effect of their geometry on this vortex rings/porous wall interaction. In upstream flow, the strength of the wall shear layer induced by the vortex rings decreased as dh* increased, and so did the radial spreading of the primary vortex ring. In downstream flow, with an increase in dh*, the coherence of the transmitted vortex rings gradually weakened owing to insufficient vorticity cancellation and enhanced Kelvin-Helmholtz (K–H) instability. For dh* = 0.20 (the largest hole diameter), the transmitted vortex rings downstream were the most disrupted and lost coherence quickly to survive the shortest axial distance. The results of velocity triple decomposition show that in the case of the impact of a turbulent synthetic jet on a porous wall, the wall can effectively reduce the ratio of fluctuation energy to total flow kinetic energy. Because of the low contribution of fluctuation energy to the total kinetic energy, the porous wall with the largest hole (dh* = 0.20) exhibited the best quality of the downstream flow field. Therefore, for flow control, we propose using a porous wall with a hole of a large diameter to effectively disrupt vortical structures and achieve a better quality of flow under the given conditions.
Solar irradiance estimations for modeling the variability of photovoltaic generation and assessing violations of grid constraints: A comparison between satellite and pyranometers measurements with load flow simulations
Authors: Sossan Fabrizio , Scolari Enrica , Gupta Rahul , Paolone Mario
Published: October 2019

Global horizontal irradiance (GHI) is typically used to model the power output of distributed photovoltaic (PV) generation. On the one hand, satellite estimations are nonpervasive and already available from commercial providers, but they have a limited spatiotemporal resolution. On the other hand, local estimations, e.g., from pyranometers, sky-cameras, and monitored PV plants, capture local irradiance patterns and dynamics, but they require in situ monitoring infrastructure and upgrading the asset of electrical operators. Considering that in most power systems, PV generation is typically the aggregated contribution of many distributed plants, are local GHI estimations necessary to characterize the variability of the power flow at the grid connection point (GCP) and detect violations of the limits of voltages and line currents accurately? To reply, we consider GHI measurements from a dense network of pyranometers (used to model the ground truth GHI potential), satellite estimations for the same area, and information about a medium and low voltage distribution system. We perform load flows at different levels of installed PV capacity and compare the nodal voltages, line currents, and the power at the GCP when the irradiance is from pyranometers and when from satellite estimations, deriving conclusions on the necessity, or not, of highly spatiotemporally resolved irradiance estimations.
Electrical manipulation of spin pumping signal through nonlocal thermal magnon transport
Authors: Fan Yabin , Hou Justin T. , Finley Joseph , Kim Se Kwon , Tserkovnyak Yaroslav , Liu Luqiao
Published: October 2019

We study the magnon transport in the nonlocal configuration composed of two Pt strips on top of a yttrium iron garnet, with and without the presence of RF microwaves generated by an on-chip antenna. We find that the spin-Hall induced thermal magnon heating/cooling, the Oersted field, and the Joule heating generated by the alternating current in the Pt injector can significantly influence the spin-pumping signal measured by the Pt detector in the presence of RF microwaves, forcing the spin-pumping voltage to show up in the first and second harmonic signals in the nonlocal magnon transport measurement. These results indicate that the nonlocal magnon transport configuration can serve as a structure to electrically detect and manipulate the spin-pumping signal. Furthermore, certain caution is needed when studying the interplay between incoherent magnon and coherent magnon spin transport in the nonlocal transport configuration, since the change in microwave-induced spin-pumping voltage can overwhelm the incoherent magnon transport signals.
Hydride assisted synthesis of the high temperature thermoelectric phase: Yb14MgSb11
Authors: Justl Andrew P. , Cerretti Giacomo , Bux Sabah K. , Kauzlarich Susan M.
Published: October 2019

Yb14MnSb11 is a p-type high temperature thermoelectric material that has been shown to have a peak zT of 1.3 at 1273 K and stable lifetime testing at that temperature for over 1500 h by NASA. Yb14MgSb11 is a structural analog, but the highest temperature thermoelectric properties have not yet been reported. Yb14MgSb11 has been prepared in an environmentally friendly route employing metal hydrides to provide phase pure samples with excellent control of stoichiometry. We present a comparative study employing either MgH2 or YbH2 as a reactive precursor that also facilitates milling of the elements. High purity compositions are synthesized, and their high temperature thermoelectric properties were measured on dense pellets. Temperature-dependent thermoelectric properties were measured from 300 to 1273 K. Yb14MgSb11 exhibited a peak zT = 1.2 at 1273 K due to an appreciable power factor and low-lattice thermal conductivity. Carrier concentration and hall mobility were also measured from 300 to 1275 K and ranged from 5.3 × 1020 to 1.3 × 1021 cm−3 and from 4.7 to 0.7 cm2 V−1 S−1, respectively.
Optimization under turbulence model uncertainty for aerospace design

Published: October 2019

The computational economy of Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes solvers encourages their widespread use in the optimization of aerospace designs. Unfortunately, the real-world performance of the resulting optimized designs may have shortcomings. A common contributor to this shortfall is a lack of adequately accounting for the uncertainty introduced by the structure of the turbulence model. We investigate whether including measures of turbulence-based uncertainty, as predicted by the eigenspace perturbation method, in an optimization under uncertainty framework can result in designs that are more robust with respect to turbulence model-form uncertainty. In an asymmetric diffuser design problem and a transonic airfoil design problem, our optimization formulation taking account of turbulence-based uncertainty obtained designs that were more robust to turbulence model uncertainty than optimal designs obtained via deterministic approaches.
Exploring the crossover between high-energy-density plasma and ultracold neutral plasma physics

Published: October 2019

In this paper, we present ideas that were part of the miniconference on the crossover between High Energy Density Plasmas (HEDP) and Ultracold Neutral Plasmas (UNPs) at the 60th Annual Meeting of the American Physical Society Division of Plasma Physics, November 2018. We give an overview of UNP experiments with an emphasis on measurements of the time-evolving ion density and velocity distributions, the electron-ion thermalization rate, and plasma self-assembly—all just inside the strongly coupled plasma regime. We also present theoretical and computational models that were developed to understand a subset of HEDP experiments. However, because HEDP experiments display similar degrees of strong coupling, many aspects of these models can be vetted using precision studies of UNPs. This comparison is important because some statistical assumptions used for ideal plasmas are of questionable validity in the strongly coupled plasma regime. We summarize two theoretical approaches that extend kinetic theories into the strong-coupling regime and show good agreement for momentum transfer and self-diffusion. As capabilities improve, both computationally and experimentally, UNP measurements may help guide the ongoing development of HEDP-appropriate plasma models. Future opportunities in viscosity, energy relaxation, and magnetized plasmas are discussed.
Transient diffusive spin dynamics in intrinsic InGaAs/InAlAs multiple quantum wells

Published: October 2019

Spatial and temporal diffusive spin dynamics in the transient regime for 10-nm-wide InGaAs/InAlAs quantum wells were investigated using time-resolved optical Kerr rotation (TRKR) microscopy. The transient regime of diffusive spin dynamics is a specific regime which appears after local excitation but before the formation of a spin mode. In this regime, the spin precession frequency induced by the spin–orbit (SO) magnetic field decreases with time since the diffusive velocity decreases as the distribution of spins expands. In this study, by decreasing the spot size of the excitation pulse, we examined the spin dynamics in the transient regime. We carefully analyzed the TRKR signals using time-dependent frequency equations established by Kohda et al. [Appl. Phys. Lett. 107, 172402 (2015)]. All the TRKR signals could be well reproduced by the time-dependent frequency equations. Our analysis reveals that the spin precession frequencies arising from the SO interaction gradually decrease with time, and they allowed the extraction of the Rashba and Dresselhaus SO parameters. We revealed that SO parameters can be extracted accurately via scanning measurements in the diffusive motion of local spin excitation even in the time periods before the appearance of the spin mode.
Jeffery orbits in shear-thinning fluids
Authors: Abtahi S. Arman , Elfring Gwynn J.
Published: October 2019

We investigate the dynamics of a prolate spheroid in a shear flow of a shear-thinning Carreau fluid. The motion of a prolate particle is developed analytically for asymptotically weak shear thinning and then integrated numerically. We find that shear-thinning rheology does not lift the degeneracy of Jeffery orbits observed in Newtonian fluids, but the instantaneous rate of rotation and trajectories of the orbits are modified. Qualitatively, shear thinning has a similar effect to elongating the particle in a Newtonian fluid. The period of rotation increases as the particle slows down more when aligned with the flow due to a reduction in shear stresses. Unlike Jeffery orbits in Newtonian fluids, in shear-thinning fluids, the period of orbits depends on the specific trajectory (or initial orientation of the particle).
High dynamic range particle image velocimetry analysis of viscous inhalant flows
Authors: True Aaron C. , Crimaldi John P.
Published: October 2019

High dynamic velocity range (DVR) flows are challenging to measure with traditional double-pulse particle image velocimetry (PIV) since no single correlation time scale optimally resolves particle displacements over the entire DVR of interest. Inhalant flows are ubiquitous in engineering and biology and feature a high DVR as they draw viscous fluid through an orifice from a surrounding reservoir since large interior tube velocities rapidly attenuate with exterior distance from the inhalant orifice. We conducted a high-DVR PIV study of viscous inhalant flow hydrodynamics by developing and applying a multi-time-lag type processing scheme to construct DVR-enhanced flowfields. The algorithm adapts existing multi-time-lag type schemes into one that is well suited for slowly evolving flows with a persistent spatiotemporal structure. Correlation analyses between image pairs across two optimized time scales produce a pair of correlation maps well suited for resolution of targeted high and low measurement velocities. An evaluation map based on the best statistical relative strength of the local correlation peak amplitude and peak ratio is then used to spatially reconstruct a single DVR-enhanced velocity field with a DVR on the order of 1000:1. Numerical simulations show close agreement with measured flows everywhere following DVR enhancement, and the high-DVR PIV results reveal marked differences in the exterior flow kinematics and dynamics due to varying viscous and boundary interaction effects. The inlet velocity profiles at the tube orifice are highly sensitive to the Reynolds number within this range (1–100) and show notable departures from classically assumed uniform pipe entry profiles, impacting flow development lengths downstream.
Neurophenomenology of surprise
Authors: Bitbol Michel
Published: October 2019

A theory of the central nervous system was formulated recently, in general thermodynamical terms. According to it, the function of a central nervous system, and more generally of living autopoietic units, is to minimize “surprise”. The nervous system fulfills its task, and the animal maintains its viability, by changing their inner organization or their ecological niche so as to maximize the predictability of what happens to them, and to minimize the correlative production of entropy. But what is the first-person correlate of this third-person description of the adaptation of living beings? What is the phenomenological counterpart of this state of minimal suprise? A plausible answer is that it amounts to a state of “déjà vu”, or to the monotony of habit. By contrast, says Henri Maldiney, surprise is lived as a sudden encounter with reality, a reality that is recognized as such because it is radically unexpected. Surprise is a concussion for the brain, it is a risk for a living being, but it can be lived in the first person as an awakening to what there is.
Surprise in native, bilingual and non-native spontaneous and stimulated recall speech
Authors: Goutéraux Pascale
Published: October 2019

This article discusses surprise markers in a spoken corpus of reactions to works-of-art and of retrospective interviews with forty English and French natives, bilinguals and learners of English. Following Reisenzein (2000), the study posits a three-phase psycholinguistic scenario: disruption of representations, reaction and rationalizing. In this model, cognitive discrepancy results from the interaction between the properties of the aesthetic source and the subject’s sociocultural representations and memories. Few neutral surprise episodes were identified and discourse was usually marked by intensity and emotion, supporting the hypothesis that surprise is both a triggering mechanism and a component of emotion. The analysis reveals the richness of the network of surprise markers. Work-in-progress indicates that the range of surprise-related linguistic markers elicited by aesthetic objects partly depends on linguistic status (native, bilingual and non-native) and idiomatic proficiency.
Complexité du continuum dialectal carélo-vepse
Authors: Djordjević Léonard Ksenija , Léonard Jean Leó
Published: October 2019

The Russian Republic of Karelia, located on the borders of Finland, is the territory of a complex dialectal continuum which goes from Finnish (Eastern) to Vepse, passing by Karelian, Livvi and Lude. These are languages or varieties that could be called collateral (Eloy 2004). These various fennic languages of the Russian territory arrived at the end of the twentieth century very fragile, condemned a priori to disappear more or less at short term. However, they have benefited from a renewed interest in society since the 1990s, which has manifested itself in initiatives of development and functionalization as well as modernization of their corpus, of great importance for the Fennic and Uralian (socio)linguistics as a whole, in terms of models for action research.

In this contribution, we will address the extreme interweaving of this continuum, both sociolinguistic and structural convergence of these languages.
La distribució funcional de variants en la Gramàtica de la llengua catalana. descriptiva, normativa, diatòpica, diastràtica (1994), d’Antoni M. Badia i Margarit

Descriptiva, normativa, diatòpica, diastràtica, Antoni M. Badia i Margarit (1994). Although the complete corpus of research contains the functional distribution of 271 variables and 550 variants, this article will present only 24 variables and about 50 variants. Altogether, this article looks to answer questions like: (1) Does Badia always give different variants of each level to a same variable?; (2) Do these variables always contain variants or “ungrammatical or incorrect forms”?; (3) Which level contains most “ungrammatical or incorrect forms”? This article puts forward a fragment of ongoing research – one with new hypothesis still to be resolved.
Fabra i la segona flexió verbal en català
Authors: Saragossà Abelard
Published: October 2019

After discussing the second verbal inflection in the theory part – how to deduce different types of verbal inflections; what regular forms depend on, § 2 –, the work shows that Valencian-Catalan, taking as reference French verbal inflection – inflection with no model –, has created a new model which covers the 75% of the verbal forms (§ 3). In the 19th century, Pau Ballot and Josep Nebot reduce the apparent chaos in a structural description, which is closer to reality (§ 4). These contributions disappear in Pompeu Fabra. Without any theory nor reflection on verbal inflection structures, he makes a false statement, which has the effect of presenting regular verbs as irregular, taking two irregular verbs as the model (§ 5.1). The lack of describing the inflected structures built by speakers leads us to misinterpret the regular form of the infinitive ({valer/valdre}, § 5.2) and the gerund ({duent/duguent}, § 5.3)

Published: October 2019

The main goal of this article is to analyse how the geolect tortosí is portrayed in news stories written by TV3 correspondents from the Terres de l’Ebre region, for the newscast TN comarques Tarragona. In particular, we want to know if the forms they use are part of the Northwestern standard model established by the Institut d’Estudis Catalans and the linguistic portal ésAdir. As a methodology, we selected news stories between 2011–2013 about the Terres de l’Ebre region, and recorded the linguistic forms used by the correspondents. Furthermore, we interviewed the journalists to know their linguistic awareness and evaluation of the model they diffuse. The results of the research showed that they removed some tortosí verbal features – the inchoative desinence -ix- –, but they maintained its demonstrative pronouns, the possessives and the invariability of the dos numeral.
“La nostra llengua” i altres circumloquis com a recurs per a evitar el nom de la llengua catalana al País Valencià (1858–1906)
Authors: Martí-Badia Adrià
Published: October 2019

From the middle of the nineteenth century the German romanists found the Romance philology. They establish that Catalan is the name of the language of the Catalan-speaking areas, which is different from Occitan and which has nothing to do with Limousin what was known since the early sixteenth century. These assumptions regarding the identity and the name of the Catalan language are quickly received and assumed everywhere. But not in Valencia, where the most of the scholars and writers showed their disagreement with it for his identity feelings. The most of them continue using Limousin and a minority began using onomastic circumlocutions to doesn’t contradict these assumptions. The resource of onomastic circumlocutions became useful because it avoided the item under discussion – the name of language –, not to mention any names in particular and using in place inclusive expressions which makes clear the reference to the whole of the Catalan language.

In the paper we will do a little history of the Acadèmia Valenciana de la Llengua, a Valencian normative institution created in 2001 by a consensus of the main Valencian parties with the Valencian universities and with the particularistic institutions.

We will explain our experience as coordinator of the DNV: elaboration criteria, difficulties in achieving consensus; structure of the work; main contributions to the normative lexicography. We will deal with the reception of the DNV as a tool for social pacification among Valencians. Finally we will refer to the usefulness of the DNV in the creation of a viable language model in all the lands where Catalan-Valencian-Balearic is spoken.

Prescriptive reading
Authors: Escandell Dari
Published: October 2019

This article empirically measures the real repercussions of
specific mediating factors on child and young adult reading habits,
particularly those associated with two decisive environments: educational
and family. It was compiled from a careful analysis of a rigorous in-house
study on reading habits and tendencies. The goal is to study whether the
children or young adults’ proclivity towards reading responds to occasional
factors that affect it directly and in isolation, or whether the regularity
of indicators that end up shifting the balance towards taking pleasure in
books ends up being complex and lasting. That is, whether or not the proper
fostering of certain strategies is what causes an individual in their
formative years to acquire a lasting appetite for reading.

The work presented below aims to show how reading accompanies the
person from the beginning of their lives in literate societies. The concept
of ‘personalism’ resulting from its diverse interpretations throughout the
20th century is assimilated to the Aristotelian idea of the stages of man,
and to that of reading as an unfinished process throughout life. Finally, as
a methodological proposal for Language and Literature teaching, a table is
provided. With it, apprentices can show and evidence the reality of the
presence of reading in their lives, together with its universal and global
nature.

Multimodal membership categorization and storytelling in a guided tour
Authors: Burdelski Matthew , Fukuda Chie
Published: October 2019

This study examines multimodal membership categorization and storytelling in Japanese at an
Okinawan culture center in Hawai‘i. Based on audiovisual recordings of a guided tour (112 minutes), it examines ways the guide and
visitors use explicit and implicit means in constructing the membership category “immigrants of Okinawan descent in Hawai‘i” and
terms of this category, such as “women of the first generation” and “children of the second generation.” The analysis focuses on
visitors’ contributions to membership categorization and storytelling through posing questions, relating personal experience, and
displaying stance in touching and handling objects. The findings show how practices of membership categorization and storytelling
are co-constructed, and how participants draw upon multimodal resources including talk, the body, and objects in practices of
membership categorization in situated interaction.
Constructing desirable brides
Authors: Sandhu Priti
Published: October 2019

This paper utilizes Membership Categorization Analysis (MCA) and Conversation Analysis (CA) to examine the entwined relationships among interaction, storytelling, and membership categorization. While demonstrating how a storytelling event in a qualitative research interview and the categories constructed within it are skillfully wielded by the teller to meet interactional exigencies, this single case analysis shows how members doculture-in-action(Hester and Eglin 1997) related to arranged marriage negotiations in the Indian context. A close examination of the emic categories produced in the interview reveals how the interactants collaboratively co-construct the social structures surrounding arranged marriages and the notion of ‘desirable’ brides. Illustrating the salience of medium-of-education (MoE) in these emic constructions of desirable brides, the analysis reveals the marginalization of Hindi-medium-educated (HME) women in the arranged marriage sphere.
Conversational Humour and (Im)politeness
Authors: Sinkeviciute Valeria
Published: October 2019

Conversational Humour and (Im)politeness is the first systematic study that offers a socio-pragmatic perspective on humorous practices such as teasing, mockery and taking the piss and their relation to (im)politeness. Analysing data from corpora, reality television and interviews in Australian and British cultural contexts, this book contributes to cross-cultural and intercultural research on humour and its role in social interaction. Although, in both contexts, jocular verbal practices are highly valued and a positive response – the ‘preferred reaction’ – can be expected, the conceptualisation of what is seen as humorous can vary, especially in terms of what ‘goes too far’. By examining how attempts at humour can occasion offence, presenting a distinction between ‘frontstage’ and ‘backstage’ perceptions of jocularity and looking at how language users evaluate jocular behaviours in interaction, this study shows how humour and (im)politeness are co-constructed and negotiated in discourse. This book will be of interest to scholars and students in pragmatics, conversational humour, (im)politeness, intercultural communication, discourse analysis, television studies and interaction in English-speaking contexts.
Synchronization of symbols as the construction of times and places
Authors: Myers John M , Madjid F Hadi
Published: October 2019

We demonstrate an unsuspected freedom in physics, by showing an essential unpredictability in the relation between the behavior of clocks on the workbench and explanations of that behavior written in symbols on the blackboard. In theory, time and space are defined by clocks synchronized as specified by relations among clock readings at the transmission and reception of light signals; however spacetime curvature implies obstacles to this synchronization. Recognizing the need to handle bits and other symbols in both theory and experiment, we offer a novel theory of symbol handling, centered on a kind of ‘logical synchronization’, distinct from the synchronization defined by Einstein in special relativity.

We present three things:

1. We show a need in physics, stemming from general relativity, for physicists to make choices about what clocks to synchronize with what other clocks.

2. To exploit the capacity to make choices of synchronization, we provide a theory in which to express timing relations between transmitted symbols and the clock readings of the agent that receives them, without relying on any global concept of ‘time’. Dispensing with a global time variable is a marked departure from current practice.

3. The recognition of unpredictability calls for more attention to behavior on the workbench of experiment relative to what can be predicted on the blackboard. As a prime example, we report on the ‘horse race’ situation of an agent measuring the order of arrival of two symbols, to show how order determinations depart from any possible assignment of values of a time variable.

Authors: Adibah A N
Published: October 2019

Semarang provides its many important activities and movements. This city already has BRT system for public transportation, expected to make a sustainable transportation system in Semarang city. However, there are several problems, especially in service performances. The existence of BRT has not been efficient to resolve the congestion problem in the city, indicated by the low BRT load factor level. Location of bus stops are not strategic and not easy to reach, dirty, cramped, have little seatings, do not have guards, do not have feeder mode from the housing area, and the bus arrival schedule is uncertain, causing people to use private vehicles in their daily life. The main purpose of this research is to assess the service performance of BRT Trans Semarang related to safety, comfort, and regularity to achieve sustainable transportation. Conditions of BRT service performance in regard to safety level, 78% of the provision is appropriate, and 22% is not appropriate. Based on comfort level, 70% of the supply is appropriate, and 30% is not suitable. As for the regularity level, 38% of the supply is appropriate, and 62% has not been matched from the total performance indicators of BRT services that require repairs and additions. Government, thus shall improve the regularity level to enhance the load factor of BRT Trans Semarang.

Published: October 2019

Demand for transportation infrastructure is growing along with the increasing urban and economic population (Min Guo, 2014). The increase in urban movement activities often exceeds the capacity of transportation infrastructure systems which creates congestion points. Malang to Surabaya movement is the dominant movement with the largest number of movements totalling 10-20 million movements in a year and can reach 94,254 vehicles every day. Based on the RTRW Malang 2010-2030, Malang City as the core city has the main satellite area namely Lawang and Singosari Subdistricts resulting in the high intensity of these activities. The purpose of this study is to identify the characteristics of road, to formulate a model of generation/attraction of land use in the road, and to formulate the effect of land use activities on the road’s level of service. This research was carried out on the Corridor of Lawang - Singosari segment 1. We descriptively described the road characteristics and for analyzed quantitatively, correlation analysis and multiple linear regression analysis and other quantitative analyzes were used to evaluate and formulate the model and its impact on the road’s level of service.

Published: October 2019

In Indonesia, the auditing of building energy follows the procedure of SNI 6196-2011, while the whole building’s performance evaluation uses the criteria of the GBCI. Both institutions’ target is based on the intensity of energy consumption (IEC), of which 65% is the intensity of energy consumption for cooling (IECC). This research studied the IECCs of hotels in Indonesia, using a computer-simulation method with the Design Builder software. A virtual hotel was constructed based on two design scenarios, using (1) ordinary design and (2) green design as suggested by the GBCI. The two variables used were the hotel’s geographical coordinates and altitude. The research found a significant potential for cooling energy savings if, in particular, the building’s altitude was considered in the standards. Green buildings in lower altitudes have their IECC higher than those in higher altitudes. The highest IECC is 191.79 kWh/m2.year for a green hotel in Medan, which is 35.71 kWh/m2.year lower than GBCI standard. The lowest IECC is 85.39 kWh/m2.year for a green hotel in Bandung, which is 142.11 kWh/m2.year lower than GBCI standard. The average deviations of the IECCs from the standards of the GBCI and the ASEAN USAID were 76.25 kW/m2.year and 43.75 kW/m2.year, respectively.

Coastal changes are influenced by several natural conditions like beach balance and estuary. The most obvious fact from this condition which can be seen by 10 meter resolution of Sentinel-2A imagery is the erosion and accretion at the coastal area. This study found that the average of Arosbaya coastline changes from 2015 until 2018 suffer from erosion up to -1.099 meters. The coastline changes in Lajing village is uniform from south to the north. Almost all coastline shave eroded, with the average of -16.365 meter erosion and -83.105 meter maximum erosion value. However, Tengket village which is located in the north of Lajing shows different result. A high number of accretions is identified in this village with accretion rate up to 15 meters and the maximum accretion rate up to 275.0432 meters. The condition of Tengket village shows that the new land is unstable. It is not only because of natural ocean parameters from south still influenced by the Madura straits exit but also the sediment build-up from Tambangan estuary in the north of Tengket village. The effect of this condition takes form of area changes both of coastal villages from 2015 until 2018 period. There was 701.565 ha of area loss in Lajing Village; however, 902.6912 ha of new area was constructed in Tengket village making Arosbaya became 167.034 ha larger in 2018 than in 2015.

Kendal River, which runs through the city of Kendal, often overflows causing flood for the immediate areas. This study uses the concept of risk management aimed at relevant stakeholders. Data analysis of this study applied the Risk Breakdown Structure (RBS) method to describe each classification of risk sources to risk sub-classification. The results depicted that there were 20 (twenty) risks of causing flooding in Kendal City, with 5 (five) risks being the main cause. According to the Central Java Provincial Government, there was a 35% risk at the extreme level, 60% at the high level, and 5% at the middle level. On the scale of risk acceptance, there were 35% classified as unacceptable, and 65% classified as unexpected. According to the Kendal District Government, there was a 60% risk at extreme levels and 40% at high levels. On the risk acceptance scale, there were 60% classified as unacceptable and 40% classified as unexpected. The results of this study expected to provide a guideline for stakeholders in risk response according to their role both at the Provincial Government and District Government levels based on priority scales.
Environmental Scanning: In Creating Strategic Planning for the Education of Persons With Different Ability
Authors: Mustika R D , Rahmayanti K P
Published: October 2019

This study aims to do environmental scanning in order to identify factors that influence the education policy for difable group. The current condition indicates that Indonesia’s Human Development Index (HDI) towards 2017 is ranked in 116th with a final score of 0.694 which is still relatively low. As an effort to improve HDI, Indonesia conducts human development through education as basic rights of every human being and as one of the public service products that must be obtained by the community including all Indonesian people, particularly people with different abilities and children with special needs (ABK). According to the Ministry of Education and Culture (2018) out of as many as 1.5 million people with different ability, only 300,000 crews who have become students in 2017. Thus, this condition is disadvantageous for 1.2 million ABK who cannot get proper education in Indonesia. The research utilizes the qualitative approach and data collection techniques through secondary data analysis. This study found out that there are several factors which impact the ability of all levels of government to build strategic planning in the education sector for difable group such as limitations and unequal commitments from local and national governments, limitations in implementing regulations, unequal opportunity to obtain sufficient livelihoods that affect the income they earned, exacerbated by unequal perspective regarding the need for quality education for people with different abilities, by which the people with different abilities has not been prioritized for education. In addition, the use of assistive technology in the field of education for persons with different abilities is very minimal in Indonesia, as well as geographical factors as the main determinant factors that influence the issue of education for persons with different abilities.
