PLACEMAKING SEBAGAI STRATEGI REVITALISASI KAWASAN Studi Kasus : Kawasan Pecinan Kota Makassar
Authors: Wahyuni Sri
Published: September 2019

Pecinan Makassar merupakan bagian dari perkembangan sejarah kota Makassar. Pecinan Makassar terletak di pusat kota dekat dengan pelabuhan sehingga menjadi awal kegiatan perdagangan dan jasa. Letaknya yang strategis menjadikan kawasan sebagai pusat perdagangan yang vital pada zaman kolonial. Namun sejalan dengan perkembangan zaman, Pecinan Makassar mengalami penurunan kualitas fisik, aktifitas ekonomi, dan sosial budaya yang mengakibatkan pudarnya identitas pecinan Makassar. Secara perlahan kawasan mulai ditinggalkan dan kegiatan ekonomi berpindah ke pusat perdagangan baru di luar pecinan. Oleh karenanya kawasan membutuhkan upaya penataan untuk mengembalikan vitalitas pecinan yang kontekstual dengan masa kini tanpa menghilangkan jejak sejarah kawasan.Pembahasan ini bertujuan untuk merumuskan strategi perancangan dalam mempertahankan identitas kawasan pecinan sebagai kawasan perdagangan yang unik dan meningkatkan kualitas lingkungan dengan revitalisasi kawasan. Penurunan kualitas fisik, penurunan kegiatan ekonomi dan sosial budaya pada kawasan Pecinan Makassar diselesaikan dengan strategi penciptaan kembali makna (identitas) kawasan melalui pendekatan placemaking.Langkah-langkah dalam upaya revitalisasi kawasan dilakukan dengan mengidentifikasi dan menganalisis komponen fisik, fungsi dan aktifitas, serta citra budaya kawasan pecinan. Hasil dari analisis kemudian menjadi dasar panduan yang selanjutnya diuraikan dalam strategi pengembangan kawasan untuk memberi gambaran mengenai arahan penataan Pecinan Makassar.

Absueltos y oprimidos: representación mediática de las personas con discapacidad en México
Authors: Garín Montes Martha , Rodelo Frida V.
Published: September 2019

Los periódicos representan a las personas con discapacidad apegándose a dos modelos principales: el médico, que percibe la discapacidad como una enfermedad que incapacita para actividades cotidianas, o el social, que entiende la discapacidad como una imposición de obstáculos sociales sobre una persona que tiene una limitación física, mental o sensorial. Para averiguar cómo representan los medios en México a este grupo y sus problemas, se realizó un análisis de contenido de los artículos sobre discapacidad publicados durante 2015 en cuatro periódicos. Se encontró que estos tienden a presentar una perspectiva paternalista sobre las personas con discapacidad, representándolas como sujetos desempoderados y cuya socialización no propicia inclusión social auténtica.

The study seeks to find out factors affecting health service provision in pastoral communities, it                   is focusing Wajir County. The County Government is mandated to provide services including the                     health services which have been enabled by devolution functions such as transfer of funds.              However, Counties especially within the patrol communities have been faced with myriad of                       challenges in obtaining the standard services from the County offices such as medical and                         education services. Some of the mentioned causes of poor  services to the community from the                literature has been leaders  who are not objective in practicing the best human resource practices, poor communication facilities in the County thus community are not able to access the needed services in timely manner and lot of corruptions in the County offices. In addition, there is lack of proper structures or systems put in place to account for the resources allocated. From the past studies in the related fielded also present a methodological gap where most analysis is based on County reports lacking quantitative analysis while others uses only descriptive statistics to analyze the data.  This study thus, fills the gap by looking at broad construct which give a broader picture of the health service provision. In addition, this study combines both descriptive and inferential statistics to determine the relationships between the study variables.  The study therefore hypothesizes that: There is no relationship between devolved resource allocation and quality of health services provision (H01) and there is no relationship between human resource practices and quality of health services provision (H02); Research study was anchored on institutional theory. Descriptive survey was used; The findings of the research will be used by other researcher’s  as a reference to what they will do in future not forgetting that it was used as a source of literature review to their studies. 65 respondents were chosen through random sampling that was stratified. The research questionnaires were administered by the researcher himself to the respondents. Focus group discussion was also done to the community members. Data was analyzed through f(n) and descriptive statistics and presented using tables and graphs. The research study established that resource allocation and human resource practices have a great influence in the provision of health services. The study recommends that Governor   of Wajir County should develop and formulate guidelines, governing structure and strategic plans for effective implementation of county resources and revenue that will enable provision of quality healthcare.

Casinos in Goa: The Challenge Ahead is to Implement Sustainable Strategies to Minimize Their Ill-Effects
Authors: Botelho Afonso
Published: September 2019

The government of Goa has been promoting casino tourism in Goa arguing that promoting casinos is necessary to bolster the economic growth of Goa especially in the aftermath of the mining ban that deprived Goa and its government of the substantial revenue generated through mining. The casino promotion, however, has met with strong protests in Goa from the time the government decided to encourage casinos to expand the growth of tourism in Goa. Casinos have taken strong roots in Goa and clearing the ever-growing forest of casinos is becoming more and more difficult as years roll by. The offshore casinos have almost fused with the landscape of Panjim making it almost next to impossible to visualize Panjim and the river Mandovi sans the casinos. At this juncture, accepting, despite all opposition, that the reality of Panjim ‘casinoscape’ will linger on into the future, the challenges ahead lie in implementing sustainable strategies to maximize the gains from casinos and counteract the prospective ill-effects from casino type tourism instead of imagining a return back to the Panjim of the 1990s and earlier.

Objective. Studying of impact of a human placenta hydrolysate on regeneration of intestinal anastomosis and prophylaxis of their sutures insufficiency.
Materials and methods. Experimental investigations were conducted on two groups of rabbits. In every group a simulation model of an acute strangulation ileus was created. In a one day a relaparotomy, resection of necrotized intestinal segments with anastomosing in a “side-to-side” fashion were done in rabbits of both groups. After the operation the control group rabbits have obtained a standard treatment, while in the main group the rabbits together with a standard treatment have obtained a human placenta hydrolysate preparation «Laennec». On the days 3, 5, 7 and 15th the according intestinal segments were probed for morpho-histochemical investigations.
Clinical investigations were conducted in 122 patients, consisting of resection of intestinal segments with formation of anastomoses. The control group consisted of 60 patients, and the main one – in 62. The data of the control group were studied retrospectively. In the main group the patients, together with a standard treatment, a human placenta hydrolysate in a form of preparation “Laennec” was applied for prophylaxis of insufficiency of the intestinal anastomoses sutures.
Results. Basing on experimental results it may be stressed, that application of preparation «Laennec» strengthens regeneration and angiogenesis in zone of anastomosis, because in animals of the main group, comparing with a control one, high mitotic index, good angiogenesis and the motor-evacuation function integrity were noted.
In clinical practice the anastomotic sutures insufficiency in the control group have occurred in 13.3% of observations, and in the main group – in 1.6% of observations.
Conclusion. Application of the human placenta hydrolysate for prophylaxis of the sutures insufficiency in intestinal anastomoses is affordable due to successive clinical and experimental data obtained.

Objective. To improve the results of treatment in patients, suffering decompensated forms of chronic venous insufficiency (CHVI) of the lower extremities, using introduction of biological necrectomy and vacuum-therapy in combination with complex of optimal surgical interventions, depending on state of venous hemodynamics of the lower extremities.
Materials and methods. In 2015-2018 yrs in Surgical Clinic of the Zakarpattya Regional Clinical Hospital named after Andriy Novak 147 patients, ageing 40 yrs old and older, suffering CHVI Category C6 in accordance to the CEAP Classification, were treated. All the patients were divided into two groups: the Group I consisted of 76 patients, suffering CHVI in decompensated stage on background of varicose disease, and the Group II - 71 patients, suffering trophic ulcers (TU) on background of postthrombophlebitic syndrome (PTHPHS).
Results. There was established, that the TU clearance under the action of maggot-therapy in patients, suffering decompensated course of CHVI, is significantly more effective, than under the impact of vacuum-therapy. Autodermoplasty must be performed in all the patients, having TU with 4 cm in diameter,
Good and satisfactory results were observed in 75 (98.7%) patients of Group I and in 63 (88.7%) patients of Group II, while poor results - in 8 (11.3%) patients of Group II. The working capacity of patients, suffering CHVI in decompensated stage of varicose genesis, have enhanced in 16.5 times, while in the patients, suffering TU on background of PTHPHS – in 1.25 times.
Conclusion. Combined treatment of CHVI in decompensated stage, occurring on background of varicose disease includes the TU clearance, using vacuum-therapy or biological necrectomy with subsequent elimination of vertical reflux. In the patients, suffering TU on the PTHPHS background the biologic necrectomy with elimination of horizontal reflux is advantageous.

There were 10 men and 6 women. The average age of the patients have constituted 62.4 yrs old. The patients were divided into two groups – the main and the comparative one, equally - by 8 of every group. In all the patients pancreaticoduodenal resection was done. All the patients in postoperative period have obtained gemcitabine in combination with 5-fluorouracyl. In patients of the main group a dynamical personalized intraoperative lymphadenectomy in accordance to our elaborated scheme, was performed. In patients of the comparison group lymphadenectomy was performed in accordance to the volumes adjusted, and it is called a standard one.

Results. Average duration of the operation have constituted (347 ± 48) min, lymphadenectomy – (42 ± 12) min in the main group, and (31 ± 9) in the comparison group. Average volume of the blood loss have constituted (342 ± 272) ml. Average duration of hospitalization have constituted (8.2 ± 4.3) days, general rate of postoperative complications – 24.3% in both groups. After the operation the mortality was absent.

Clinically significant lymphorrhea was observed in 3 patients in the main group, and in 5 – from the comparison group. In patients of the main group 9 ± 2 lymph nodes were excised, and in a comparative one – 13 ± 2, there were revealed 7 ± 1 (77.7%) and 9 ± 2 (60%) lymph nodes affected, accordingly. Postoperative diarrhea have occurred in 4 patients: in 3 – from comparative group, and in 1 – from the main group. Duration of the recurrence-free period in the main group have constituted (18 ± 2.3) mo, and in a comparative one – (13 ± 1.5) mo. Two years have survived 12/16 (75%) patients. In the main group one patient died, and in a comparative one - 3. The two-year survival in the main group have constituted 87.5%, and in a comparative one – 62.5%.

Conclusion. Dynamical lymphadenectomy as a component of multidisciplinary approach gives possibility to reduce the quantity of the lymph nodes excised, unaffected by the tumor, to enhance the quantity of the excised lymph nodes trustworthily affected by the tumor, to lower the morbidity rate and to prolong the duration of the recurrence free period.

Published: September 2019

Методом Монте—Карло проведено исследование больших моделей воды SPC/E в широком диапазоне давлений (1 бар—17.5 кбар) и при температуре 290 K. Рассчитаны зависимости плотности, удельной теплоемкости (cP), изотермической сжимаемости, объемного коэффициента теплового расширения и диэлектрической константы воды от давления. На основе анализа функций радиального и пространственного распределения атомов кислорода и водорода воды изучены основные элементы структуры координационных оболочек ее молекул. Предложено разделять молекулы первой координационной оболочки на геометрических и топологических соседей различных порядков, различающихся длиной цепочки водородных связей между ними. Показано, что при нормальных условиях большинство геометрических соседей — вторичные топологические соседи, а при повышении давления основная роль отводится топологическим соседям более высоких порядков.

Методом рентгеноструктурного анализа определены структуры ионного клатратного гидрата нитрата тетра-н-бутиламмония TBANO3⋅26.7H2O и смешанного гидрата TBA(NO3)1–x(OH)x⋅ ⋅(31.5 – x)Н2O, полученного из смеси нитрата тетра-н-бутиламмония и гидроокиси тетра-н-бутиламмония. Это два новых типа сверхструктур, полученные на базе «классической» тетрагональной структуры I, с элементарными ячейками четырехкратного для TBANO3⋅26.7H2O и двукратного для TBA(NO3)1–x(OH)x⋅(31.5 – x)Н2O объема. Образование сверхструктур происходит в результате упорядочения в расположении многосекционных полостей водно-анионного каркаса. Смещение катиона из центра комбинированной полости вследствие анизотропного окружения анионами приводит к дополнительному понижению симметрии. Впервые определены способы включения нитрат-анионов в водный каркас ионных клатратных гидратов.

Es deseable que los buenos resultados obtenidos en las investigaciones sobre la utilización de los métodos activos de enseñanza sean alcanzados en la práctica docente en diversos contextos. Para ello, es necesario comprender las características específicas de los métodos de enseñanza, así como las eventuales transformaciones necesarias para adecuarlos a diferentes contextos. En este artículo proponemos utilizar el constructo de “Organización Praxeológica”, proveniente de la Teoría Antropológica de lo Didáctico, como herramienta para el estudio de los métodos de enseñanza. Desde esa perspectiva, los métodos son vistos como conocimientos institucionalizados - social e históricamente legitimados - que pueden ser estudiados en términos de praxis (tipos de tareas y técnicas) y del logos (discursos tecnológicos y teóricos). Ilustramos estas ideas con la construcción de una organización praxeológica para el método conocido como Team-Based Learning.
Application of Spatial Structures in Bridges Deck

Published: September 2019

Spatial structure is a truss-like, lightweight and rigid structure with a regular geometric form. Usually from these structures is used in covering of long-span roofs. But these structures due to the lightness, ease and expedite of implementation are a suitable replacement for bridge deck. However steel and concrete is commonly used to build bridge deck, but heavy weight of steel and concrete decks and impossibility of making them as long-span bridge deck is caused engineers to thinks about new material that besides lightness and ease of implementation, provide an acceptable resistance against applied loads including both dead load and dynamic load caused by the passage of motor vehicles. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is design and analysis bridge deck that’s made of double-layer spatial frames compared with steel and concrete deck. Then allowable deflections due to dead and live loads, weight of bridge in any model and also economic and environmental aspects of this idea is checked. As a result, it can be said that the use of spatial structures in bridge deck is lead to build bridge with long spans, reducing the material and consequently reducing the structural weight and economic savings. For geometric shape of the spatial structure bridge is used of Formian 2.0 software and for analysis of bridges is used of SAP2000 with finite element method (FEM).

One person in every 2539 people gets killed and one in every 253 suffers injuries due to driving crashes each year in Iran. Such that driving incidents are second rank factor of death and the first rank reason for lost lifetimes in this country. 60% of total incidents which lead to deaths or injuries are actually driving incidents in Iran. That is while the same ratio is only 25% worldwide average. In this article, we report a probabilistic relationship between vehicle drivers’ gender and severity of the accidents. The model accuracy rate is more than 91%. Coefficient values show that if an crash happens and all other variables are under control, the probability of suffering injuries for a man is 1.597 times more than for a woman (1.40 – 1.79, 99% CI) in comparison with the case that the person does not get injured at all. Similarly, the probability of death for a man is 1.462 times higher than for a woman (1.13-1.79, 90% CI) again in comparison with case of no injury at all.
Validation of Fiber-Based Distributed Plasticity Approach for Steel Bracing Models
Authors: Kanyilmaz Alper
Published: September 2019

Nonlinear analysis approach is not anymore limited only to research purposes, but becoming more popular as a tool that can be used during design, thanks to the increased efficiency of computer software and hardware. An accurately calibrated numerical model may simulate the behaviour of buildings in a quite realistic way, which helps designers understand better the performance of their structures. However, the feasibility of the nonlinear analysis approach is limited by the complexity of the numerical model, and the aim of any researcher or engineer is to obtain the most useful information in a reasonable amount of time. This study focuses on the validation of a simplified numerical modelling approach to simulate the nonlinear behaviour of steel bracings. The paper presents a comparison between two different modelling approaches; a refined finite element model using volumetric elements, and fiber-based model using beam elements with distributed plasticity. The numerical models calibrated with the experimental result from existing literature, reproduce the behaviour of cold formed square, and hot rolled open section steel elements under inelastic cyclic loading. The hysteresis loops obtained from two models show that the accuracy obtained by simpler fiber-element formulation is quite close to the more refined volumetric model. Finally, in order to assess the accuracy of the fiber-based modelling approach to estimate the nonlinear cyclic response of full-scale braced frame configurations, two real scale frames are analysed, and the results are compared with the results of the experiments performed on the test frames. In terms of computation time and accuracy, distributed plasticity model is much more efficient, and can be a good option to perform nonlinear analysis of multi-level buildings, which would be quite cumbersome with volumetric modelling approach. This study has been realized thanks to the research fund received from European commission with the contract MEAKADO RFSR-CT-2013-00022.

The flexural strength of conventional concrete material is known to be enhanced by incorporating a moderate volume-fraction of randomly distributed fibers. However, there is limited information on describing the influence of fiber volume-fraction on the compressive and flexural strength of recycled coarse aggregate concrete (RCA-C) material. This paper reports on experimental test results of the RCA-C material replaced with 0, 30, 50 and 100% recycled aggregate and 0, 0.5, 1 and 1.5% steel fiber volume fraction. Three-point flexural tests of notched prism specimens were completed. The mechanical properties in compression were characterized using cube specimens. Significant improvement in compressive and flexural strength of RCA-C was found as fiber content increased from 0 to 1.5%. The experimental test results of RCA-C were further evaluated to investigate the influence of fiber content on flexural toughness. According to test results, the addition of steel fibers to RCA-C material appreciably increased the flexural toughness.

This study presents exact solution analysis for the cost optimization of Composite Beams (CB) based on the Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) specifications. Matlab code formulation is applied to analysis of sensitivity for various parameters such as cost of concrete, steel beam, span length, concrete slab thickness, compressive strength of concrete, steel beams space and shear connectors on CB. Almost 20 thousands design were analysed to obtain various contour which be found that it is feasible, efficient and effective and capable in optimization of composite beam designs.The obtained results represent that many of the contour are capable by achieving substantial cost savings for composite materials. Therefore, the analysis can be developed for practical designs to structural designers. A parametric study was also conducted to investigate the effects of IPE, IPB, INP profiles, UNP size and thickness of slabs and beam length on the cost optimization of CB.
