Inorganic Collections: Atmospheric distributions of the sensible and regimes of public space
Authors: Douglas Carl
Published: April 2019

Inorganic collections, kerbside collections of inorganic waste that cannot be recycled or disposed of by the regular means, are held in most parts of Auckland twice yearly. In practice, proscribed items are abundant, piles reach gargantuan proportions, and footpaths are disrupted. Salvaging from these piles is common, and accounts for the fondness many Aucklanders feel towards these collections. As of July 1, 2015 they will cease, to be replaced by “community recycling hubs” and booked waste collections. Soon be part of the history of Auckland’s urban culture, inorganic collections are also a significant moment for discerning the configuration of its public space. I employ inorganic collections as a probe for mapping the regime of public space at work in Auckland’s suburban streets.

Baron von Haussmann’s Paris serves as a model for the administrative rationalisation of cities, according to which streets cease to be civic spaces, and become conduits for bundled technical systems. The production of atmosphere as phantasmagoria or spectacle is essential as part of the policing of a regime in which everything has its place and its proper conduits. Atmospheres are seen as technostructures for subjects. The handling of urban waste is symptomatic of this atmotechnics, seamlessly and invisibly whisking away waste away. The public space of the administratively rationalised city relies on the careful construction and laborious physical and symbolic maintenance of an interior and an exterior; a finite ‘here’ of desirable or useful things moving in orderly synchronicity, and an infinite ‘away’ which absorbs and isolates us from the undesirable or redundant which cannot be made to move in sync. Waste passes across the horizon between these two spaces, through a porous and sometimes leaky membrane that purports to selectively permit and prevent affects from passing between here and away.In the administratively rationalised city, waste is siphoned away from public space, no longer permitted to perform in the relation between me and my neighbour. Inorganic collections, however, undermine or overflow this waste regime. Momentarily, when the inorganic collection takes place, the policed order of the street is disrupted. For a short time waste is not a private matter handled invisibly between myself and the city; but something that activates relationships (disputes, perhaps, but also potentially exchanges or discoveries of things in common or intriguing differences) with my neighbours.
Pleasure in reading tradition
Authors: Lozanovska Mirjana
Published: April 2019

This paper examines architecture as performative space in two ways: firstly, as an interface between movement, temporality and physical configuration and, secondly, as a matter of signification, reading and representation. A close reading of field-work notes concerning an event in a vernacular church interior develops an intoxicating mixture of ceremony, incense, song and prayer; geometry, volume, surface and iconography; and the movements of women’s bodies. If we call this mixture an ‘atmosphere’ through which architecture is moved beyond its material enterprise, how can it be understood and read? Architectural representation alone, as plan, section and elevation, is insufficient since its focus on form and geometry fails to take account of atmosphere and other traces of activity. Therefore, field-work notes and images are used to set up a dialectical relationship between, on the one hand, the ‘textual data’ of stories, legends, and histories and, on the other, an ‘architectural frontier’ of plan and elevation. This ‘archi-textual’ approach challenges some of the divisions between a discourse of atmosphere and the theories of signs and semiotics the former critiques. It does this through a series of experiments, in which drawings and models are revised to raise questions about interpretation and the construction of meaning within representation. The paper argues that the pleasure of observing, experiencing or describing that original atmospheric mixture is mediated by reading. Pleasure shifts from the observation of vernacular architecture and culture as an otherness to the pleasure of revising the meaning of architecture.

The exhibition as an “urban thing”
Authors: Dorrian Mark , Hawker Adrian
Published: April 2019

This paper presents and discusses the design of a retrospective exhibition of the work of Metis, shown at the Arkitektskolen, Aarhus, Denmark between 10 October and 14 November 2014 and at Edinburgh College of Art between 27 March and 6 April 2015. Making reference to Bruno Latour's distinction between 'objects' and 'things', as developed in his influential article 'Why has critique run out of steam?' (2004), it speculates on what it would mean to conceptualise an exhibition as a 'thing' – that is, as a gathering of relations – and how this might affect our approach to it. In the case of the Metis exhibition, which was titled 'On the Surface', this issue is related to the agency of the large-scale textile drawing that covered the floor of the gallery, forming a kind of raft within it upon which visitors walked. Acting as a gathering space for both exhibits and visitors, the drawing was constituted through a complex of representational modalities, which put the seven exhibited projects into play with one another in such a way as to resist their stabilisation and resolution into a sequence of objects.
Disquiet [of a non-crash site]: Non-standard urban encounter
Authors: Hopewell Hannah
Published: April 2019

Disquiet [of a non-crash site] forms part of a broader experiment with urban inscription—an experiment played out across photography and philo-poetics. The project draws diversely from questions of urbanism, the non-philosophy of François Laruelle, and emerging developments in Speculative Realism. The practice is offered in three registers, each building on the same 2014 dusk encounter with an inter-tidal space at Juhu Beach, Mumbai, India: firstly, in photographic imagery; secondly, as a philo-poetic text – or what can be thought of as an intersecting of philosophy and fiction that aims to radicalise experience; and thirdly, as a discursive outline of the project’s motivations and non-standard method. Part explication, part performance, this project folds theory and practice in a non-binary mode Gilles Deleuze (1992) has termed expressionism. François Laruelle has invited a similar reworking of the theory/practice nexus: the aim, he writes, is to put “practice into theory rather than just inserting practice ‘in theory’” (Laruelle 2012c: 218). In this case, I have sought to think an encounter with the Juhu Beach intertidal zone as if the thought itself were a thing, a thing to be observed, inquired into. As a means to map out new sites of urban spatial practice, the fecundity of Laruelle’s strange but lovely, rigorous rather than authoritative non-philosophical method is bought into proximity with an actual urban encounter to better ask how the materiality of urban intertidal sites can be seen and thought. The investigation asserts the thing-ness of the encounter by way of three strategies: firstly, a refusal of “natural perception” (Merleau-Ponty 2002: 216); secondly, thinking the event as if seen through a “world-without-us” (Thacker 2011); and thirdly, by adopting an economy that “makes nothing happen” (Blanchot 1989, 1993; Keats 1958).

Supervisor: Dianne Smith

By taking a design anthropology approach in my PhD studies, I have critically examined post-acquisition behaviour of custodians and their inalienable objects to inform a new framework for the design of enduring, or ‘heirloom’, objects. Specifically, this creative project demonstrates an alternative view to mainstream design discourse and instead suggests that the intangible, that is an individual’s personal memory and experience, can be tangibly embedded into the object by the designer in a textural and visually representative way. The physically mnemonic characteristic of the creative work; therefore increases its potential to become an inalienable heirloom.

THE GREEN BUILDING ASSESSMENT TOOLS FOR WATER EFFICIENCY CRITERIA IN MALAYSIA: AN ANALYSIS
Authors: Zainol Halmi , Alauddin Kartina , Shukri Nadia
Published: April 2019

It is conventionally accepted that the use of renewable resources has been in uncontrolled stage where the depletion of natural resources is increasing. Inorder to be sustainable, the use of renewable resources must be at the rate that is less or equal to the rate of natural production. Therefore, there has been few efforts done by certain organisations to create awareness of sustainable built environment among the builders and public. Green assessment rating tools have been developed to act as a reference and guideline in order to create a sustainable development thus encourage a sustainable living. The objective of this paper is to evaluate the assessment criteria for green assessment tools. Four rating tools consists of Green Building Index (GBJ), PenarafanHijau JKR (pH JKR), Green Performance Assessment System (GreenPASS) and Green Real Estate (GreenRE) were selected. The finding shows on how assessment criteria of water efficiency can contribute to the sustainability life cycle thus reducing the depletion of natural resources. These rating tools also can contribute to the designers, builders and building owners during design and construction stage to ensure the green building can be achieved.
La negociación Mercosur-India: oportunidades comerciales para Uruguay
Authors: Bartesaghi Ignacio , Bhojwani Deepak
Published: April 2019

Recientemente comenzaron las negociaciones para profundizar el acuerdo entre el Mercado Común del Sur (Mercosur) e India, las cuales enfrentan dificultades naturales entre dos actores proteccionistas y con pocos tratados comerciales. Uruguay muestra potencialidades para ampliar su comercio en alimentos, que hoy enfrentan elevados aranceles y barreras no arancelarias. Por otra parte, India tiene ventajas en bienes industriales, muchos de los cuales no produce Uruguay pero sí sus principales socios en el Mercosur. Esta realidad adelanta que las negociaciones entre los dos actores no estarán exentas de dificultades.
Segmentariedad política y sultanato. Los sultanes marroquíes Abdelaziz, Hafid y Yussef (1894-1927) y la política colonial francesa
Authors: González Alcantud José Antonio
Published: April 2019

El análisis segmentarista —alianzas y contra alianzas de segmentos de tribu— se inicia con Ibn Jaldún y su visión de las tribus norteafricanas en el siglo XIV, pero se activa sobre todo desde los estudios de W. Robertson Smith y E.E. Evans-Prichard a finales del siglo XIX y primera mitad del XX. Estas teorías han sufrido un cierto descrédito en los años de la descolonización. En este artículo se estudia el periodo  de 1894 a 1927 en Marruecos, correspondiente a los sultanes Abdelaziz, Hafid y Yussef, para volver sobre la tesis segmentarista, pero ahora aplicada no sólo al sistema tribal, sino al majzén mismo, y sobre todo a la política europea del momento en relación al reino jerifiano. De esta manera, se recuperan las hipótesis segmentarias, sacándolas del estrecho marco anterior.
Los fosfatos del Sahara Occidental y los principales productores mundiales de roca fosfática: política versus estrategia empresarial, 1969-1975
Authors: Martínez Milán Jesús María
Published: April 2019

Entre finales de la década de 1960 y principios de la de 1970, el mercado mundial de fosfatos atravesó por un período caracterizado por la caída de la demanda y la guerra de precios entre los principales productores. En esos momentos un nuevo actor, el fosfato sahariano, hacía acto de presencia en el mercado mundial. En este artículo analizo las diferentes estrategias puestas en marcha por los principales productores para controlar el fosfato sahariano. Sostengo que España se alió con Marruecos con el fin de compartir mercado con su mayor competidor. Sin embargo, esta estrategia quedó desvirtuada desde el preciso momento en que Madrid dio prioridad a los intereses de la industria de fertilizantes española sobre los de Fosfato de Bu Craa, S.A. (Fosbucraa). Todo ello al comienzo de una nueva coyuntura marcada por la salida de España del Sahara y la caída de la cotización internacional del fosfato.

On the effect of the periodicity of diagnostic measurements on improving the reliability of high-voltage transformers
Authors: Tikhonov V. A.
Published: April 2019

The influence of the periodicity of diagnostic measurements on the operational state of high-voltage transformers is considered. Examples of defects of switching devices of converter transformers and methods for their detection are given. The rationale for the importance of recognition of defects at an early stage of their occurrence is given. The influence of the multiplicity of overvoltages on the service life of converter transformers in the aluminum industry is investigated. Based on the analysis of the service life of converter transformers of one of the powerful aluminum plants, where 83% of converter transformers have exhausted their standard service life, it is shown that in 40% of cases it would be possible to avoid their failures, with timely detection and elimination of emerging defects. Examples of defects of OLR (on-load regulators) of converter transformers and methods for their detection are given. The importance of recognition of defects at an early stage of their occurrence is substantiated. A method for chromatographic analysis of dissolved gases in transformer oil has been developed for the qualitative determination of defects and ways to eliminate them. Examples of diagnostics of converter transformers at operating voltage and working load are given, providing the best quality operational characteristics of converter transformers. The periodicity of diagnostic measurements and the reduction of defects and failures has been substantiated. The question of diagnosing the state of the converter transformer TDNP-40000/10 at an enterprise of the aluminum industry is investigated. Currently, diagnostic methods are being developed based on chromatographic analysis of dissolved gases in transformer oil. The presented method of evaluating the operating parameters of transformers allows for the safe operation of high-voltage transformers and enables to increase the reliability of the power supply scheme of aluminum industry plants.
Study of functioning of relay protection system under regular check conditions
Authors: Zelentsov B. P. , Trofimov A. S.
Published: April 2019

An analytical model of the operation of the relay protection of power systems is presented, which takes into account such types of failures as unwanted operation, failure to operate, as well as defects dangerous from the point of view of unwanted operation and failure to operate. Operability checks of relay protection of power systems are conducted with a constant period. The listed events can be divided into two groups: random and regular ones. The presence of random and regular components of events of recovery of relay protection of power systems can be correctly taken into account in the framework of the apparatus of the theory of Markov processes. The model is based on the description of the process of operation of relay protection of power transmission line by a semi-Markov process. The functioning of the system in time is presented in the form of cycles. The cycle of the functioning of the system consists of a subset, where the system is functioning and verifi ed, and a subset, in which it is restored. The model is implemented in a graph with 9 states. Probabilities of events describe the process of changing states on a discrete set of states of relay protection of the power system. The probability of a change of states is the initial characteristic of a semi-Markov process. This model has enabled to obtain the dependence of operation and reliability parameters on the frequency of regular checks. It is established that the frequency of regular checks with the exponential distribution law overstates the value of the unavailability factor, since the time of the onset of a periodic check is greater than the mathematical expectation of a given value of the periodic check under a random distribution law. With a signifi cant time between checks, or in absence of periodic checks, the unavailability factor tends to a value that does not depend on the way of setting the time between periodic checks.
Functional and operational risk as a criterion for assessing the durability of an autonomous energy system
Authors: Nedosekin A. O. , Smirnov A. V. , Makarenko D. P. , Abdoulaeva Z. I.
Published: April 2019

The article presents new models and methods for estimating the residual service life of an autonomous energy system, using the functional operational risk criterion (FOR). The purpose of the article is to demonstrate a new method of durability evaluation using the fuzzy logic and soft computing framework. Durability in the article is understood as a complex property directly adjacent to the complex property of system resilience, as understood in the Western practice of assessing and ensuring the reliability of technical systems. Due to the lack of reliable homogeneous statistics on system equipment failures and recoveries, triangular fuzzy estimates of failure and recovery intensities are used as fuzzy functions of time based on incomplete data and expert estimates. The FOR in the model is the possibility for the system availability ratio to be below the standard level. An example of the evaluation of the FOR and the residual service life of a redundant cold supply system of a special facility is considered. The transition from the paradigm of structural reliability to the paradigm of functional reliability based on the continuous degradation of the technological parameters of an autonomous energy system is considered. In this case, the FOR can no longer be evaluated by the criterion of a sudden failure, nor is it possible to build a Markov’s chain on discrete states of the technical system. Assuming this, it is appropriate to predict the defi ning functional parameters of a technical system as fuzzy functions of a general form and to estimate the residual service life of the technical system as a fuzzy random variable. Then the FOR is estimated as the possibility for the residual life of the technical system to be below its warranty period, as determined by the supplier of the equipment.

Published: April 2019

The remediation of organic and inorganic pollutants from the aqueous environment has touched a certain level with the development of research. Environmental pollution is increasing day by day due to industrial activities which cause a negative effect on human health and the ecosystem. Nowadays, heavy metals have a special concern due to its toxicity, persistence and bioaccumulation in nature. Toxic metals like chromium, nickel, arsenic, lead, mercury, cadmium are the main contaminants of water because they are non-biodegradable in nature. Nickel is also a toxic metal, mostly used in industries because of its anticorrosion behaviour. As a consequence nickel is present in the wastage of electroplating, tableware, metal finishing, plastics manufacturing, nickel-cadmium batteries, fertilizers and mining industries and these waste have dangerous impact on the human health and environment and causes the diseases i.e. diarrhea, anemia, hepatitis, kidney damage, gastrointestinal distress, skin dermatitis, and central nervous system dysfunction. In the present review article, several techniques are discussed for the treatment of nickel from the industrial environment. The elimination of nickel from wastewater is not important only for economic purposes but also for environmental safety.

Una mirada a la trayectoria histórica de la formación de maestros en España durante los siglos XIX y XX.
Authors: Lissen Encarnación Sánchez , Franco Martín Sánchez
Published: April 2019

A lo largo de este artículo realizamos un recorrido por los procesos de formación, por las instituciones y por la legislación que ha regulado el acceso y la actividad laboral de los maestros en España, durante los siglos XIX y XX. A pesar de ser un período amplio, tan solo nos hemos detenido en aquellos elementos más significativos de cada plan de estudio, en las diferentes materias del curriculum o en las evaluaciones que, en cada caso, debían superar los aspirantes a la enseñanza. Los cambios arbitrados en la sociedad y en la vida económica y política de la época han marcado indudablemente la formación recibida y los estilos educativos del profesorado. Para ir dando luz a cada etapa hemos ido navegando, principalmente, a través de la Gaceta de Madrid, del Boletín del Estado y de las Constituciones de cada momento, que nos han permitido echar una mirada a la historia y a la realidad que vivían los maestros y maestras de la época.

Authors: Ossama Muhra Maysoun M. Saleh, , Suliman Zaeda Alsayd
Published: April 2019

Nineteen  genotypes of eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) were collected from different places in Syria for evaluating the selection criteria for yield parameters. Yield traits (days to 50% flowering, days to flower setting, days to maturity, plant height/cm at flowering stage, fruit weight/g, number of harvested plants and fruit yield per genotype/kg) were recorded  in order to study the traits relations and to their direct and indirect effects via other traits on eggplant yield. Results showed that both plant height and number of harvested plants together with other morphological parameters had positive significant correlation with yield parameters, so it can be taken as selection criteria to increase final yield of eggplant.

Published: April 2019

Policy makers, journalists and other commentators often advocate transgenic cotton (Gossypium spp.) as poor-performer against sucking insects that pose a great threat to production targets. A field study was carried out for seasonal occurrence of whitefly (Bemisia tabaci Gennadius) and thrips (Thrips tabaci Lindeman) on two of cotton genotypes namely Bt MNH-992 and non-Bt Cyto-124 under climatic conditions of Multan, Pakistan from July-October, 2017. Impact of environment as a factor was hypothesized on pests on two experimental sites [Research Area (RA) & Farmer Field (FF)]. Maximum population of whitefly at RA (13.5 and 16.7 individuals per plant) for Bt and non-Bt, respectively was recorded during SMW 40, while correspondent minimum populations (0.6 & 1.2 individuals per plant) was found during SMW28 in RA. The peak population of thrips was observed at RA during 30th SMW as (4.9 & 8.9 individuals per plant), respectively at Bt and non-Bt genotypes, declined to the lowest level of (0.1 & 0.3 individuals) in 41st SMW for both genotypes. Bt-cotton harbored relatively lower population of B. tabaci and T. tabaci in both fields owning to the presence of physico-morphich plant characters. A negative correlation of B. tabaci population was found with a maximum temperature and rainfall, and a positive relation with humidity. T. tabaci had a positive correlation with temperature and rainfall, and a negative correlation with relative humidity. The current research concluded that weather factors play and important role to increase or decrease the populations of sucking insect pests of cotton.

After the economic crisis in 1997, the growth of Big and Medium Scale Industries (MBI)
have been slowing down. The perspective of business returns to SME’s. Meanwhile, the problems
of rubber SME’s products, some of them, have been known as slow technology innovation, slow
output growth (productivity) and lack of working capital. To maintain the competition in the
market, rubber SME’s products must accompany some strategies, in order to survive in the
market and having a bargaining position. This paper just made a recommendation of a model to
optimize the growth of rubber SME’s products. The spread and diffusion of MBI as a leader to
rubber SME’s products as follower can be done by making some assumptions which must be done
by both parties. By doing this, rubber SME’sproducts could enhance their function in the economy
and thus, They will have a secure market to support the economy and sustainability of economic
growth. To increase the parameters of productivity can be implemented in some ways. The growth
of investment, return of capital, working hours, and the growth of human resources quality can be
maintain as the engine of growth for rubber SME’s products. To perform this, They could do
through raised of the saving, lower inflation and real costs through government’s policy.The
development of industry should not be imposed only through MBI. The participation of rubber
SME’s products should be in the perspective of the government. As it has been mentioned above,
the sustainability growth of rubber SME’sproducts must be integrated with the growth of MBI.
The government should realize that most of Indonesia population works in this sector, therefore
the growth of this sector will be the locomotive engine of people’s economy.

Published: April 2019

PT Ebara Indonesia is a company that manufactures centrifugal pump. One of the type that
the company makes is the FS Pump. These pumps are getting requests from customers who require
these products produced faster. The problems that arise on the production floor is the imbalance of
production line which causes additional work time. The goal is to reduce overtime on the production
floor.
The study was conducted by calculating the operator utilization and TOC using the data
processing time from 10 observations as input, in which uniformity and adequacy of the data has been
tested. After calculation, it is known that the sandblast and inspection work station requires one more
operator. Production time in the simulation will be used as an indicator in validation.
Simulation approach is done by making the initial model representing the real situation. Then
the model will be verified, validated and replicated. After that, experiments will be made to achieve the
goal. Then from those experiment, the best scenario was obtained. The best scenario proposed that
sandblasting and inspection operator increase by one and one sand mold BC operator was moved.
Completion time obtained was reduced from 506.66 hours to 344.07 hours, so there is no overtime
needed.
