ANALISIS EFEKTIVITAS PENGGUNAAN MICROPILE SEBAGAI ELEMEN PERKUATAN STABILITAS LERENG
Authors: Arman Farrell , Makarim Chaidir Anwar
Published: February 2020

Landslide is one of the most common problems in the geotechnical field, especially in Indonesia. Landslide can occur due to increased shear stress of a soil mass or decreased shear strength of a soil mass that can happen overtime or in an instant. In other words, the shear strength of a soil mass is not able to withstand the load of the soil mass on top of it because the soil is unstable. To solve the problem of landslides, a proper and effective reinforcement is needed. Micropile is one of the ways that can be used as slope reinforcement, it can retain the soil mass on a higher location so the slope won’t collapse on its own. Micropile can be used as a retaining wall, it is quite easy to be applied on the field, it has a small diameter, and a relatively low cost. The compressive strength of the micropile is used to withstand the soil mass on a higher location. In this analysis, the carrying capacity of the micropile will be analyzed by manual calculation. The carrying capacity of the micropile will then be reanalyzed with the help of the limit equilibrium method software. The result at the end of this process is the safety factor of the simulated slope. This analysis is done twice, one is the simulation of a slope that is reinforced by micropile, and the other is not reinforced with micropile. The final result of both calculations will be compared to one another. This analysis will then result in the effectiveness of micropile as an element to maintain slope stability.AbstrakKelongsoran tanah pada lereng merupakan salah satu permasalahan yang paling sering terjadi di dalam dunia geoteknik, terutama di Indonesia. Kelongsorsan dapat terjadi akibat meningkatnya tegangan geser suatu massa tanah atau menurunnya kekuatan geser suatu massa tanah. Dengan kata lain, kekuatan geser dari suatu massa tanah tidak mampu memikul beban yang terdapat di atasnya karena kondisi tanah tidak stabil. Untuk mengatasi masalah kelongsoran pada lereng, diperlukan perkuatan yang tepat dan efektif. Micropile merupakan salah satu jenis perkuatan yang dapat membantu menahan massa tanah di lokasi yang lebih tinggi pada suatu lereng, karena micropile dapat dimanfaatkan sebagai dinding penahan tanah, mudah diaplikasikan, memiliki ukuran yang kecil, dan biaya yang relatif murah. Kapasitas micropile yang berguna untuk menahan massa tanah di lokasi yang lebih tinggi adalah kapasitas micropile untuk menahan tekan. Pada analisis ini, perhitungan kapasitas micropile akan dianalisa dengan perhitungan manual. Nilai kapasitas micropile kemudian akan diolah kembali dengan bantuan program metode kesetimbangan batas, sehingga didapatkan nilai faktor keamanan dari lereng yang telah didesain. Hasil pengolahan data dari analisis stabilitas lereng dengan micropile ini nantinya akan dibandingkan dengan hasil pengolahan data dari analisis stabilitas lereng tanpa micropile. Analisis ini akan menghasilkan efektivitas micropile sebagai elemen perkuatan stabilitas lereng.
STUDI PENGARUH MATERIAL GEOSINTETIK DALAM DISTRIBUSI BEBAN KERJA PADA KONSTRUKSI JALAN DI ATAS TANAH LUNAK
Authors: Sastrawinata Sastrawinata , Suhendra Andryan
Published: February 2020

Soft soil is commonly become the main problem in various types of construction processes. It causes a very big load distribution in soils that will affect the construction process that will take place.  Soft soils have a low bearing capacity which can result in loss, costs that become more expensive to construction safety, that is, structures that are made unable to stand stable and are not sturdy. This can be prevented by stabilizing soft soils using geotextile reinforcement. Geotextile material works using membrane effect method which only relies on its own tensile strength which can help to reduce the load distribution that occur on sof soils. In one of the road projects in Jakarta, road will be made with very soft soil subgrade. To reduce the load distribution, embankment is carried out on existing land with geotextile reinforcement in between. This geotextile material is proven to reduce the load distribution that occurs in soft soils so the value of the load distribution will be smaller. For more effective use, the geotextile used in this project must be placed at 0,2 metres height above the subgrade. AbstrakTanah lunak seringkali menjadi sumber masalah yang paling banyak terjadi pada berbagai jenis proses kontruksi. Tanah ini menyebabkan distribusi beban yang terjadi sangatlah besar sehingga akan berpengaruh terhadap proses konstruksi yang akan berlangsung. Tanah lunak mempunyai daya dukung yang sangat kecil yang dapat mengakibatkan kerugian, mulai dari kerugian biaya yang menjadi lebih mahal hingga keselamatan konstruksi, yaitu struktur yang dibuat tidak mampu berdiri stabil dan tidak kokoh. Hal ini dapat dicegah dengan menstabilisasi tanah lunak dengan menggunakan perkuatan geotekstil. Material geotekstil bekerja menggunakan metode membrane effect yang hanya mengandalkan kuat tariknya sendiri yang dapat membantu mengurangi distribusi beban yang terjadi pada tanah lunak. Pada salah satu proyek jalan di Jakarta, akan dibuat jalan dengan tanah dasar tanah yang sangat lunak. Untuk membantu dalam mengurangi distribusi beban yang terjadi, dilakukan penimbunan tanah di atas tanah eksisting dengan perkuatan geotekstil di antaranya. Material geotekstil ini terbukti dapat mengurangi distribusi beban yang terjadi pada tanah lunak sehingga nilai distribusi beban yang terjadi menjadi lebih kecil. Untuk penggunaan yang lebih efektif, letak geotekstil yang digunakan pada proyek ini harus diletakkan pada ketinggian 0,2 meter di atas tanah dasar.

Gender Differences in Stress and Coping in First-Year College Students
Authors: Gefen Dalia R. , Fish Marian C.
Published: February 2020

This study investigates the types of stressors experienced by first-year college students and compares the stressors, stress levels, and coping strategies of males and females. Three research questions were addressed: (a) Which types of stressors do first-yearcollege males and females face? (b) Are there differences in the levels of stress experienced by males and females? (c) Do males and females use different types of coping strategies? Results suggest that first-year college students experience a number of stressors, mainly ones related to academics, finances, and personal relationships. A differential relationship was found such that females experienced higher levels of stress than males. Female students also reported experiencing significantly more stressors related to academic demands and relationships, whereas males reported experiencing more stressors related to finances. Although females used many of the same coping strategies as males, they differed in the amounts of certain strategies used, mainly emotion-focused ones. Implications are provided for personnel working with first-year college men and women.

The Parent First-Year Experience on a Community College Campus
Authors: Hale Jessica , Buzas Cristina
Published: February 2020

This study explores the effects of a Parent First-Year Experience (PFYE) program at Washtenaw Community College. Specifically, the study addresses attitudes and perceptions of parents who participated in the PFYE program over the course of two years and the relationship between parent participation and students’ academic success and retention. A total of 71 (year 1 n=37; year 2 n=34) parents responded to the online survey. Researchers learned that parents who participated in the PFYE understood the milestones of their students’ first year and felt prepared to support their student through transition. Results indicated that the combination of parent orientation, e-newsletters, workshops, webinars, and online communication comprise an acceptable PFYE format. Beyond practical implications, this study serves as a launching point for future research and theories related to parental connectivity to the community college and further studies assessing the effects of PFYE programs.

Role Stress – Experiences of Swedish Non-Lutheran Clergy
Authors: Rosendahl Dan , Rosendahl Sirpa
Published: February 2020

Background: About fifty percent of Swedish Non-Lutheran Clergy leave the vocation before retirement resulting in huge personal, financial, psychological, emotional, spiritual and social costs. The factors behind this substantial flood out has scarcely been researched. From the multifaceted problematic aspects of pastoral work, the aim of this study was to explore the clergy’s experiences of work stressors with the focus on Role-stress.

Method: A qualitative approach with 19 open ended interviews was used and the interview material underwent qualitative content analysis.

Results: Multiple external role-senders together with the individual pastor’s experienced, internal expectations and demands, generated different types of Clergy role-categories that surfaced during the analysis. These roles were accompanied by several role-stressors as apparent with the roles Servants of men and Servants of God and the presence of Vision Conflict. Further the pastor as the Church’s ultimately responsible person is plagued by Role-ambiguity and Role-confusion, and as the Proven trustworthy administrator struggling with Role-conflict. Family-work and Work-family conflicts, especially for female pastors, contributed to Work overload, this consequence also effecting the male colleagues during the generic attempts to meet as many of the Church members’ expectations as possible. The accumulated Work overload, together with a lowered level of Work Satisfaction, boosted the Turnover intentions.

Conclusions: Mutual succinct information between employer and employee, active continuous communication and refined and updated organizational structure need to be coordinated in order to lower the level of experienced role stress and thus reduce the present substantial number of Clergy leaving the vocation prematurely.

Authors: Fawziah Kassim al-Ammar , Bothaina Ahemd Attal , Ismail Khamsiah
Published: February 2020

This study assessed factorial validity and reliability of an adapted Arabic version of the self-report of the Child CPSS Symptom Scale (CPSS-5-RS) based on the DSM-5. The sample included 902 displaced school boys (52%) and girls (48%) who had a mean age of 13.95 years (SD=2.3) in Sana’a city. The participants had experienced internal conflict and airstrikes during a two-year period prior to the study (2015-2016). Principal Components Analysis, using Varimax rotation was conducted and yielded 19 items that loaded on three retained factors with an eigenvalue greater than one and explained 35.59% of the total of variance. Confirmatory Factor Analysis followed showing good fit indices (χ2 (902) = 313.85, p≤0.001, and CMINDF= 2 as desired with best-fit indices of TLI (.92), CFI (.94), IFI (.94) and RMSEA (.035).The internal consistency presents an acceptable reliability evidence that ranged from 0.73 for cognitive symptoms; 0.63 for emotional psychological symptoms, 0.60 for behavioral symptoms, and 0.78 for the total score. Further studies are needed to verify the findings in the different samples. Overall, the Arabic version of the CPSS is a sound, reliable and valid instrument that can be used by researchers and social workers to assess the symptoms of Posttraumatic disorders among the Yemeni children.
Theoretical and Experimental Investigation on the Intersystem Crossing Kinetics in Benzothioxanthene Imide Luminophores, and Their Dependence on Substituents Effects
Authors: Abad Galan Laura , Andrés Castán Jose Maria , Dalinot Clement , Simon Marques Pablo , Blanchard Philippe , MAURY Olivier , Cabanetos Clement , Bahers Tangui Le , Monnereau Cyrille
Published: February 2020

In spite of their remarkable luminescence properties, benzothioxanthene imide (BTXI an imide containing rylene chromophores) derivatives have been largely overlooked compared to their perylene bisimide and naphthalene bisimide counterparts. Thus their detailed photophysics are much less understood. In this paper, we show how relatively simple structural modifications of the backbone of BTXIs can lead to impressive variations in their Inter-System Crossing kinetics. Thus, through rational engineering of their structure, it is possible to obtain a triplet formation quantum yield that reaches unity, making BTXI a promising class of compounds for triplet-based applications (photodynamic therapy, electroluminescence, etc.).
Direct Reversible Decarboxylation from Stable Organic Acids in Solution
Authors: Kong Duanyang , Moon Patrick , Lui Erica K. J. , Bsharat Odey , Lundgren Rylan
Published: February 2020

Many classical and emerging methodologies in organic chemistry rely on carbon dioxide extrusion to generate reactive intermediates for subsequent bond-­forming events. Synthetic reactions that involve the microscopic reverse, the carboxylation of reactive intermediates such as organometallic nucleophiles, occur under vastly different reaction conditions. We found that under appropriate conditions chemically stable C(sp3) carboxylates undergo rapid, uncatalyzed reversible decarboxylation in solution. The decarboxylation/carboxylation process occurs through the generation and trapping of otherwise undetectable carbanion intermediates that are largely resistant to protodecarboxylation in the presence of Brønsted acids or to trapping by external electrophiles. Isotopically labelled carboxylic acids, including drug molecules and valuable synthetic intermediates, can be prepared in high chemical and isotopic yield by simply supplying an atmosphere of 13CO2 to carboxylate salts in polar aprotic solvents. Our results indicate that the reversibility of decarboxylation from organic acids should be taken into consideration when designing and executing decarboxylative functionalization processes.

Authors: Henna Mir  , Shivlingesh KK  , Anushka Gupta  , Divya Srivastava  , Adeeba Saleem  , Waseem Ashraf
Published: February 2020

INTRODUCTION: Social media is a mode of communication that allows a person to create and share information with others. Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter, Google+, YouTube etc are some examples of social media applications and they allow people to communicate across the world. There is very less literature available that shows the effect of social media in esthetics in India.

AIM: To conduct an online survey to see the impact of using social media on esthetic dental treatments.

MATERIALS AND METHOD: 477 questionnaires were returned with responses and the data was entered into the MS excel sheet. Descriptive statistics was used for the frequency distribution and Chi Square was applied for the statistical relationship between male and female variables (at 5% significance).

RESULTS:  Four hundred seventy seven participants responded to this study through online forms. Most of the participants belonged to the age group of 26-35 years (n=256), followed by 18-25 years (n= 137), 36-45 years and > 45 years (n= 55 & 29 respectively). The response of females was high (63.5%) when compared to males.

CONCLUSION: Females tend to follow dentists more as compare to males on social media. In dental practice, social media has become a widely used for exchanging and obtaining information.
(Re)Constructing and Resisting Irregularity: (Non)citizenship, Canada’s Interim Federal Health Program, and Access to Healthcare
Authors: Connoy Laura
Published: February 2020

This article analyzes the experiences of refugee claimants in Toronto’s everyday healthcare places, like walk-in clinics, doctor’s offices, and hospitals, in the aftermath of the 2012 Interim Federal Health Program (IFHP) revisions. By drawing upon critical migration scholarship that prioritizes (non)citizenship, as well as semi-structured interviews, I highlight how the social positioning of refugee claimants is modulated in ways that justify and extend the IFHP revisions to effectively deny access to healthcare, demonstrating the indeterminacy of access. I understand this process through the concept of irregularity, a non-juridical status that is contingently configured and enforced by state and non-state actors when one is (re)constructed as “out of place,” hence limiting access to resources and rights. In accordance with citizenship, it indicates how we can think of the (re)fashioning of people and groups particularly within the everyday. I follow this with a critical analysis of the contestations that emerged to challenge the IFHP revisions
Non-disabled Space Invaders! A Study Critically Exploring the Scholarly Reporting of Research Attributes for Persons With and Without Disability
Authors: Mellifont Damian
Published: February 2020

Social justice requires that the “nothing about us without us” disability inclusion mantra not be rejected or watered down in knowledge production activities. Appreciating the need for a greater representation of disability in these activities, this investigative study aims to (a) determine if there is a statistically significant difference in the median research attribute reporting scores between articles whose content refers to the term “researchers with lived experience” and articles whose content refers to “non-disabled researchers,” and (b) to critically discuss how the scholarly literature reports on the attributes of researchers with and without disability. Enabling this exploration, this study has applied the Mann-Whitney U test and thematic analysis to a purposive sample of 20 articles that were retrieved from a Scopus database search. Findings reveal that the median score of reported research attributes was statistically significantly higher in the group of articles whose content referred to the term researchers with lived experience than in the articles that referred to non-disabled researchers. Results also highlight attributes of empathy, ability, rigor and activism that are reportedly shared across the two groups of articles. Crucially, attention is given to a theme reported as unique to the researchers with disability group. This is the attribute of having firsthand knowledge of disability (i.e., lived experience). The study concludes by recognising that lived experience, when incorporated throughout the research process, can help to redress deficiencies that might otherwise be present.
Granny Solidarity: Understanding Age and Generational Dynamics in Climate Justice Movements
Authors: Chazan May , Baldwin Melissa
Published: February 2020

Since the 2018 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report, a global shift in consciousness has taken place around the urgency of the Earth’s climate crisis. Amidst growing panic, teenagers are emerging as key leaders and mobilizers, demanding intergenerational justice and immediate action. They are, however, often depicted as lone revolutionaries or as pawns of adult organizations. These representations obscure the complex and important ways in which climate justice movements are operating, and particularly the ways in which dynamics of age intersect with other axes of power within solidarity efforts in specific contexts. This article explores these dynamics, building on analyses of intersectional and intergenerational solidarity practices. Specifically, it delves into detailed analysis of how the Seattle group of the Raging Grannies, a network of older activists, engaged in Seattle’s ShellNo Action Coalition, mobilizing their age, whiteness, and gender to support racialized and youth activists involved in the coalition, and thus to block Shell Oil’s rigs from travelling through the Seattle harbour en route to the Arctic. Drawing from a pivotal group discussion between Grannies and other coalition members, as well as participant observation and media analysis, it examines the Grannies’ practices of solidarity during frontline protests and well beyond. The article thus offers an analysis of solidarity that is both intergenerational and intersectional in approach, while contributing to ongoing work to extend understandings of the temporal, spatial, cognitive, and relational dimensions of solidarity praxis.

Bounded Rationality Effect on Firm’s Choices on R&D Investments: A Model for Decision-Making Effectiveness Analysis
Authors: Ferasso Marcos , Bergamaschi Eloisio Andrey
Published: February 2020

How effective is the taken R&D investment decision, considering the effect of bounded rationality? Guided by this question, it is explored the decision-making process at the group level within the firm. A mathematical model for determining the effectiveness of decision-making based on the group’s experience is proposed. By considering subjective and objective factors, the Decision-making Effectiveness Index – Dei, model was created. To prove theoretical hypotheses and testing the model, a randomly generated dataset was built consisting of 4,000 individuals that were grouped representing 500 hypothetical firms. After performing the simulation, both hypotheses were confirmed, and the model was validated. The main theoretical findings evidenced that the project’s success will depend on decision-makers' cognitive capacity. As a contribution for practitioners, this research highlighted the importance of considering group experience in a self-analysis effectiveness index. Procedures are proposed for comparing the firm effectiveness index with competitors for improving firm decision-making performance.

Introduction: Breast cancer is the second most common cause of cancer-related death among females, which requires an exploration for markers to propose a more specific categorization of this cancer. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), the main subset of noncoding transcripts, are involved in tumorigenic processes. In this study, we investigated the expression of the fer-­1–­like family member 4 (FER1L4) lncRNA and its competitive endogenous RNA network target gene, RB transcriptional corepressor 1 (RB1), in ductal carcinoma (invasive and in situ) tissue and its adjacent noncancerous tissue (ANCT). Furthermore, associations of FER1L4 and RB1 with various clinical features of the patients were analyzed.
Methods: Quantitative real-time PCR was used to measure the expression of the mentioned genes in 61 samples of ductal carcinoma and their ANCTs, and the data were analyzed using ANOVA and t tests.
Results: FER1L expression was not significantly different in breast tumor samples compared with their ANCT samples, while RB1 showed significant downregulation in tumor tissues (P = 0.008). In addition, increased expression of FER1L4 and decreased RB1 expression were significantly correlated with lymph node metastasis in breast cancer patients (P < 0.05).
Conclusion: FER1L4 is not upregulated in breast cancer tissue. However, RB1 expression is significantly downregulated.

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of narrative therapy and rational emotive behavior therapy on Resilience in women with breast surgery experience.
Methods: This was a semi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest, controlled design with follow-up. The study population consisted of all women with breast cancer who were undergoing postmastectomy radiotherapy in Tabriz in 2018. In total, 30 women were selected by a purposive sampling method, and divided into three groups of narrative therapy, rational emotive behavior therapy, and control. The intervention groups received their respective treatments over 8 sessions of 1.5 hours. The groups were assessed using the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale before, after, and four months after the treatment.
Results: The mean postintervention resilience scores for the narrative therapy and rational emotive behavior therapy groups (66.4 and 79.9, respectively) were significantly greater compared with the control group (51.9) (P < 0.001). Similar results were observed at the 4-mont follow-up indicating a lasting effect. Also, the effect of rational emotive behavior therapy on resilience was greater than that of narrative therapy both after the intervention and at 4-month follow-up (P < 0.001).
Conclusion: Narrative therapy and rational emotive behavior therapy increased resiliency in women with breast surgery experience.

The article discusses the issues of adjustment, developed in 2007 and supplemented in 2009, of the methodology for evaluating the equivalent level of cabin noise of civil aviation aircraft in Russia. The relevance of the problem is due to high levels of professional hearing loss among the aircrew members of the air force, which is directly related to the lack of unified and competent approaches to assessing the acoustic load on the hearing organ of the aircrew members. The updated methodology contains full-fledged data on noise levels in modern domestic and foreign airliners, data on certification of acoustic efficiency of aircraft accessories, a direct algorithm and formulas for calculating the noise load for the selected periods of flight operation.

Ensuring the preservation of the country’s labor potential has always been a priority for Russian health care. Analysis of the nutrition of a group of people united by a number of characteristics (gender, age, place of residence, peculiarities of labor activity) is an important direction in the implementation of therapeutic and preventive measures.

In order to develop preventive recommendations for rationalization of nutrition, an analysis of the nutrition of men of different ages in Novokuznetsk, whose work activity is characterized by a low level of physical activity, was carried out.

A retrospective one-step study of 169 men aged 23–48 years with low physical activity, living for more than 10 years in Novokuznetsk, was conducted. There are two groups: 1 group — up to and including 39 years (89 people) and 2 group–40 years and older (80 people). The actual nutrition of men was evaluated by the computer program “Analysis of the state of human nutrition” (Version 1.2. State Research Institute of Nutrition of the Russian Academy of Sciences 2003–2005).

The caloric content of the diet exceeded the standards in group 1 by 1.6 times (by 1333 kcal), in group 2 — by 1.7 times (by 1367 kcal). Increased consumption of total fat in men up to 39 years and 1.4 times, 40 years and older is 1.5 times, and the proportion of saturated fatty acids (SFAS) above the norm by 1.3 times in males up to 39 years and aged 40 years and older, 1.6 times; cholesterol higher than normative values at the age of 39 years 175 mg , aged 40 years and older at 365 mg. Protein consumption in both groups was statistically significantly higher than normal (116 g at 68 g and 113 g at 65 g in group 1 and 2, respectively). There was a deficit of dietary fiber consumption by 12 and 10 g, respectively, in the study groups, with increased use of mono and disaccharides in the diet by 2 or more times. The consumption of mineral substances in men in both groups is statistically significantly exceeded in comparison with the norms of physiological needs (NFN) consumption of sodium (p1<0.001, p2<0.001); potassium (p1=0.001, p2=0.001); calcium (p1<0.02, p2=0.02); phosphorus (p1<0.001, p2<0.001), iron (p1<0.001; p2<0.001), vitamins a in retinol equivalents (p1=0.004, p2<0.001), B2 (p1=0.03, p2=0.02); C (p1=0.04, p2=0.002).

The diets of able-bodied men with low levels of physical activity, unbalanced in the direction of excess total caloric intake, amount of proteins and fats, simple carbohydrates, cholesterol, sodium, potassium, phosphorus, calcium, iron, vitamins A, C, B2, which is a serious risk factor for chronic non-infectious diseases (CNID) and should be considered when implementing prevention and treatment programmes in enterprises.

The article presents scientifically based methods and techniques for determining the level of energy consumption, which are most appropriate and convenient for practical use in mass physiological and hygienic and experimental studies, depending on their goals and objectives.

Determination of the amount of human energy consumption should be carried out by monitoring studies during the shift, followed by the calculation of the weighted average heart rate, considering the different types of work performed, technological breaks and downtime. It is necessary to take into account the full range of environmental factors and the work process that contribute to the physical and thermal stress of working men and women in accordance with their age and body weight.
