SERABUT KELAPA SEBAGAI PRODUK BODY PROTECTOR YANG ERGONOMIS DENGAN METODE BIO-SIZING
Authors: Ruwana Iftitah , Gustopo Dayal
Published: August 2019

Serat alam yang berasal dari serabut kelapa banyak tumbuh di daerah tropis (tropical plant) dan memiliki jenis dengan jumlah yang sangat banyak tetapi masih belum dimanfaatkan secara optimal, sehingga memiliki kesempatan untuk dikembangkan sebagai bahan produk. Dengan pemahaman (1) sifat fisik dan morfologinya; (2) karakteristik coir fiber (serabut kelapa) sebagai salah satu serat alam yang dapat digunakan sebagai bahan produk yang mampu memenuhi kebutuhan aplikasi produk teknik belum menunjukkan hasil yang memuaskan. Agar bahan dapat digunakan maka dibutukan perlakuan serat agar dihasilkan sifat fisik dan kekuatan yang lebih baik. Berdasarkan kondisi tersebut maka dibuat produk pelindung yaitu produk body protector yang berasal dari coir fiber, dimana serabut kelapa memiliki karakteristik fisik yaitu kekuatan tarik, elastisitas, biodegradable, dan insulasi yang baik terhadap suhu. Dengan karakteristik tersebut maka dapat dilakukan proses biotreatmen. Proses awal dilakukan treatmen bio-scoring kemudian dilakukan proses bio-sizing yang dapat meningkatkan kualitas fisik serabut kelapa. Proses treatmen bio sizing menggunakan bahan latek, arrow root dan resin dan menghasilkan serabut kelapa nonwoven sehinga dapat digunakan menjadi produk body protector. Untuk mehasilkan produk body protector yang ergonomis maka dilakukan pengukuran antropometri pada orang dewasa dengan didapat hasil pengukuran. Peningkatan kualitas fisik coir fiber dengan metode bio sizing setelah mengalami treatmen menjadi MC berkisar antara 13,38% sampai 17,2% sedangkan MR berkisar antara 16,79%, sampai 20,77%, kekuatan 3,2 kg/mm sehingga dapat dijadikan produk body protector memiliki kualitas dan tingkat kenyamanan yang baik dengan disain ergonomis pengukuran antropometri dengan dimensi produk yang dirancang sesuai anthropometri untuk lebar bahu adalah terkecil 41cm dan terbesar 46,5 cm, ukuran dimensi lebar dada terkecil 86 cm terbesar 101,5 cm dan ukuran dimensi panjang badan terkecil 61,6 cm terbesar 64,4 cm Kata Kunci : Coir Fiber, Bio-Treatment Sizing, Body Protector Ergonomis

Published: August 2019

Permasalahan yang dihadapi oleh PT Boga Dimsum Indonesia dikarenakan beberapa jenis dimsum dalam proses pembuatannya masih menggunakan sistem manual yang dapat menimbulkan resiko pada timbulnya cidera. Kondisi ini umumnya terjadi karena posisi kerja pekerja yang kurang nyaman dan durasi pekerjaan yang dilakukan berulang-ulang. Dari hasil identifikasi menggunakan Nordic Body Map questionnaire (NBM) diketahui bahwa pekerjaan pembuatan hakao secara manual merupakan proses yang memiliki resiko paling bayak dikeluhkan pekerja. Hasil kuesioner Nordic Body Map menunjukkan keluhan pekerja terjadi pada bagian bahu, lengan atas, lengan bawah, pergelangan tangan, tangan, punggung, bokong, paha, betis, lutut, dan kaki. Hasil NBM ini mengindikasikan adanya resiko ergonomi pada pekerja. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis tingkat resiko ergonomi yang diterima oleh pekerja pada pembuatan hakao secara manual menggunakan REBA dan Job Stain Index. Pekerjaan memiliki risiko beban kerja tinggi terjadi pada pekerjaan prosses penggulungan hakao. Hal ini dilihat dari skor REBA yang di dapat sebesar 8 dan skor Job Stain Index sebesar 20. Untuk mengatasi hal ini, diberikan 3 usulan perbaikan yaitu membuat alat bantu, perbaikan shift kerja dan perbaikan stasiun kerja. Pengembangan desain stasiun kerja dilakukan dengan metode Morfologi dan Analitycal Hierarchy Process (AHP). Metode AHP digunakan untuk pemilihan konsep meja untuk memproduksi Hakao, khususnya pada proses penggulungan kulit hakao dengan maksud agar dapat mengurangi keluhan pada bagian tubuh karyawan.

Lithostratigraphy of the Enon Formation (Uitenhage Group), South Africa
Authors: Muir R.A. , Bordy E.M. , Reddering J.S.V. , Viljoen J.H.A.
Published: August 2019

The Uitenhage Group represents the earliest deposits that filled Mesozoic rift basins in the southern Cape of South Africa during the fragmentation of the supercontinent Gondwana. The sedimentology of the Enon Formation records the development of alluvial systems that drained the region since the onset of Gondwanan rifting, and therefore plays an important role in our understanding of early landscape evolution along the southern African continental margin. The mostly coarse conglomeratic unit was deposited continuously in actively subsiding, but separated, rift basins. As a result, the deposits are diachronous between basins and display highly varied thicknesses of up to well over 2000 m.
Rayleigh group velocity extraction from ambient seismic noise to map the south Eastern Cape Karoo region, South Africa
Authors: Bezuidenhout L.J. , Doucouré M. , Wagener V. , de Wit M. , Mordret A. , Lecocq T. , Brenguier F.
Published: August 2019

The Karoo region of South Africa is an ideal laboratory to use ambient seismic signals to map the shallow subsurface, as it is a quiet and pristine environment with a geology that is relatively well known. Ambient seismic signals were continuously recorded for a ten week period between August and October 2015. The ambient seismic noise network consisted of two groups of 17 temporary, stand-alone seismic stations each. These were installed in the southeastern Cape Karoo region, near the town of Jansenville. Here we present data on the retrieval and coherency of Rayleigh surface waves extracted from the vertical component recordings. We reconstruct and show, for the first time in the southeastern Cape Karoo, estimates of Green's function from cross-correlating ambient noise data between stations pairs, which can be successfully used to image the subsurface. The stacked cross-correlations between all station pairs show clear arrivals of the Rayleigh surface waves. The group velocities of the Rayleigh waves in the 3 to 7 seconds period range were picked and inverted to compute the 2-D group velocity maps. The resulting 2-D group velocity maps at different periods resulted in a group velocity model from approximately 2 to 7 km depth, which shows a high velocity anomaly in the north of the study area, most likely imaging the denser, thick sedimentary basin of the Karoo (Carboniferous-Permian). To the south, the low velocity anomaly could correspond to the overlying Jurassic-Cretaceous sedimentary sequences of the younger Algoa Basin (Uitenhage Group).
Lithostratigraphy of the Kookfontein Formation (Ecca Group, Karoo Supergroup), South Africa
Authors: de V. Wickens H. , Cole D.I.
Published: August 2019

The Permian Kookfontein Formation forms part of the upper Ecca Group in the southwestern part of the main Karoo Basin of South Africa. It occupies a stratigraphic position between the underlying Skoorsteenberg Formation and the overlying Waterford Formation, with its regional extent limited to the cut-off boundaries of the Skoorsteenberg Formation. The Kookfontein Formation has an average thickness of 200 m, coarsens upwards, and predominantly comprises dark grey shale, siltstone and thin- to thick-bedded, fine- to very fine-grained, feldspathic litharenite. Characteristic upward-coarsening and thickening successions and syn-sedimentary deformation features reflect rapid deposition and progradation of a predominantly fluvially-dominated prodelta and delta front slope environment. The upward increase in the abundance of wave–ripple marks further indicates a gradual shallowing of the depositional environment through time. The upper contact with the Waterford Formation is gradational, which indicates a transition from deposition in an unstable upper slope/shelf margin environment to a more stable shelf setting.

Firefox Extension untuk Klasifikasi Komentar Spam pada Instagram Berbasis REST Services
Authors: Chrismanto Antonius Rachmat , Raharjo Willy Sudiarto , Lukito Yuan
Published: August 2019

Klasifikasi komentar spam pada Instagram (IG) hanya dapat digunakan oleh pengguna melalui sistem yang berjalan di sisi client, karena data IG tidak dapat dimanipulasi dari luar IG.  Dibutuhkan sistem yang dapat memanipulasi data dari sisi client dalam bentuk browser extension.  Penelitian ini berfokus pada pengembangan browser extension untuk Firefox yang memanfaatkan web services REST pada layanan cloud dengan platform Amazon Web Services (AWS).  Browser extension yang dikembangkan menggunakan 2 algoritma klasifikasi, yaitu KNN dan Distance-Weighted KNN (DW-KNN).  Extension ini mampu menandai komentar spam dengan mengubah Document Object Model (DOM) IG menjadi berwarna merah dengan dicoret (strikethrough). Metode pengembangan extension dilakukan dengan metode Rapid Application Development (RAD). Pengujian pada penelitian ini dilakukan pada hasil implementasi browser extension dan pengukuran akurasi web service (algoritma KNN & DW-KNN). Pengujian implementasi browser extension menggunakan metode pengujian fungsionalitas, dimana setiap fitur yang telah diimplementasikan diuji apakah sudah sesuai dengan spesifikasi yang telah ditentukan sebelumnya.  Pengujian akurasi web service dilakukan dengan bantuan tool SOAPUI. Hasil pengujian extension adalah: (1) pengujian extension pada sembarang halaman web berhasil 100%, (2) pengujian pada halaman awal (default) IG berhasil 100%, (3) pengujian pada halaman profile suatu akun IG berhasil 100%, (4) pengujian pada suatu posting IG dan komentarnya, tidak selalu berhasil karena dipengaruhi oleh kemampuan algoritma pada web services, (5) pengujian untuk bahasa bukan Indonesia tidak selalu berhasil karena bergantung pada library bahasa, (6) pengujian untuk load more comments pada IG tidak selalu berhasil karena bergantung pada algoritma pada web services, dan (7) pengujian pilihan algoritma pada options extension berhasil 100%.  Hasil akurasi rata-rata tertinggi algoritma KNN adalah 80% untuk k=1, sedangkan DW-KNN adalah 90% untuk k=2.
Characterization of a Reactive Rh2 Nitrenoid by Crystalline Matrix Isolation
Authors: Das Anuvab , Chen Yu-Sheng , Reibenspies Joseph , Powers David
Published: August 2019

Here we report the first X-ray crystal structure of a reactive Rh2 nitrenoid, enabled by N2 elimination from an organic azide ligand within a single-crystal matrix. The resulting high-resolution data set demonstrates a long Rh–N bond, consistent with a triplet electronic structure. The demonstration of facile access to reactive metal nitrenoids within a crystalline matrix provides a platform for structural characterization of the elusive transient species at the heart of C–H functionalization.

Os Extremos Da Mercantilização Da Vida Social Na Contemporaneidade Do Capitalismo:
Authors: Rodrigues Victor César Fernandes
Published: August 2019

No presente trabalho, busca-se situar a problemática marxiana do fetichismo da forma-mercadoria no contexto contemporâneo do capitalismo. Nossa proposta é a de reivindicar, por um lado, a tese segundoa qual é da natureza mesma da forma-mercadoria manifestar na superfície das relações cotidianas a personificação das coisas e a reificação das pessoas. Por outro lado, pretendemos situar que atualmente a expansão das relações de troca mercantis reproduzem o recrudescimento do fetichismo inscrito nessa inversão, tornando cada vez maior a submissão das pessoas aos imperativos da forma-mercadoria do produto do trabalho humano. Na conclusão, pretendemos abordar as possíveis tendências econômicas e políticas abertas ao Brasil, no que tange ao rebatimento das inovações tecnológicas estruturadas em nome da chamada quarta revolução industrial ou indústria 4.0.

Authors: Duda Rodrigo , Pinheiro Nilceia Aparecida Maciel , Silva Sani de Carvalho Rutz da
Published: August 2019

Nesse artigo é abordada a viabilidade da combinação de estratégias referentes ao construcionismo e pensamento computacional para promoção da educação algébrica. Com base em referencial teórico sobre essas vertentes teóricas, discute-se sobre como ambientes de aprendizagem que contemplem a resolução de problemas matemáticos na perspectiva construcionista podem favorecer a explicitação de aspectos necessários para o desenvolvimento do pensamento algébrico. Por fim, aborda-se como o uso de uma plataforma de programação visual pode auxiliar nesse processo. O cenário exposto permite perspectivar que atividades educativas que contemplam o desenvolvimento de aplicativos de execução de cálculos com a ferramenta App Inventor estimulam a manifestação do pensamento algébrico, justificado pelo fato de contemplar abstração, uso de linguagem simbólica e protagonismo discente de forma combinada.

Communication: Documents on skin: tattoos and underlying messages
Authors: Ménard Elaine , Fortier Alexandre
Published: August 2019

This project examines the tattoo as a document using 18 in-depth interviews. The preliminary analysis of the results indicates the  importance of distinguishing between tattoos that  bear meaning and those that are purely  aesthetic, and the fact that the two types may coexist. They  also emphasize the importance of  preserving the original aspect of the tattoo , even when visually ill-loved or associated with bad  memories, thus testifying to the documentary function of certain tattoos.
Interviews that attend to emplacement: the “walk-through” method
Authors: Polkinghorne Sarah , Given Lisa M. , Carlson Lauren
Published: August 2019

Within library and information studies (LIS), there is growing awareness of the role ofthe body and its surroundings in people’s information and knowledge experiences.Predominant data collection methods, such as the sit-down interview, should bereexamined in light of this awareness. This paper examines interview methodstheoretically and empirically. First, this paper introduces the concept of emplacement, theinterrelationship of body, mind, and place, as a useful lens for challenging conventionalinterviewing practices. Second, this paper delineates the “walk-through” interview, whichin a study of undergraduates’ information behaviours prompted richer detail fromparticipants than did “sit-down” interviews. **Awarded Best Overall Conference Paper **

This proposed poster reports on "pop-up" object-narrative sessions within two community-focused farmers' markets in Toronto, Canada, and the data gathered for current research on the affordance of objects in negotiating individual and group identity. How do we impart information about ourselves in reference to common everyday objects, and through stories about a favourite vegetable? Findings from the study will inform the design of programmatic guidelines for objects and storytelling within a community setting.
Classifying Music within the Basic Concepts Classification
Authors: Szostak Rick , Smiraglia Richard
Published: August 2019

This paper explores how we can better classify music – documents about music, as well as musical scores and recordings – within the Basic Concepts Classification (BCC). We hope first to take advantage of the synthetic nature of the BCC to capture dimensions that are usually ignored in music classification, and to be (more) exhaustive in our treatment of options along all dimensions. Yet we also intend to flesh out the schedules for genre and medium in order to achieve broad coverage. We thus hope to better classify music than is possible within any existing classification.
Remove me from this list: A case study of trolling in an academic mass email thread
Authors: Chen Yimin
Published: August 2019

This work examines in detail trolling behaviour that occurred during the mass email “reply allpocalypse” of 2019 at a university in southwestern Ontario. Whereas internet trolling is generally thought of as anonymous, antisocial behaviour, this event defies such characterizations in three ways: 1) all respondents participated on a real-name basis, 2) the majority of trolling messages sent were non-malicious attempts at humour, and 3) the email trolling seemed to have at least some pro-social, community-building effects. This study challenges assumptions about who engages in internet trolling and for what purpose by presenting an example of benign trolling in academia.

“It Feels Like Engaging With a Friend”: Using Interpersonal Communication Strategies to Encourage Science Conversations With Lay Audiences on Social Media
Authors: Martin Curtis , MacDonald Bertrum H.
Published: August 2019

Social media offer the potential to facilitate two-way conversations needed for effective science communication; however, research communicators often struggle to reach lay audiences on these media. In this study, the Twitter and Instagram activity of four individual scientists in North America and Europe, acting as recognized science communicators, was compared with the activity of three marine-focused non-governmental organizations (NGOs), particularly paying attention to the strategies that encourage audience engagement in two-way conversations. The results show that a combination of interpersonal communication strategies can have an important effect on the level of lay user engagement in two-way conversations over time.
Strengths and Limitations of Open Educational Resources to Advance Copyright Literacy
Authors: Guy Julia , McNally Michael , Joseph Kris , Sheppard Adrian , Wakaruk Amanda
Published: August 2019

The proposed paper explores challenges associated with the creation of open educational resources (OER) for Canadian copyright education. Tensions include modeling best practices for open content licensing in copyright-related material, balancing narrative engagement with precise information on a complex subject, creating content for multiple audiences, and the use of open tools for the creation of accessible, adaptable materials. This case study outlines tactics for addressing these tensions, such as balancing a commitment to openness with a focus on engagement, discovery of easy-to-use multimedia tools for adding interactivity, and embracing perspectives outside legal and academic experts during content creation.
Information in Pursuit of the "Good Death": Libraries’ Role in the Death Positivity Movement
Authors: Chabot Roger
Published: August 2019

The Death Positivity Movement (DPM) is a recent social and activist movement seeking to change the North American “culture of silence” surrounding death and dying. Seeking to engage with the conference theme of “conversations across boundaries,” this presentation presents arguments as to why libraries should be involved in the movement and also outlines more specifically actions that they can take to be involved. In this presentation, a short introduction to the DPM will be provided, followed by a brief discussion of the concept of the “good death”. Arguments will then be made explaining why libraries should be involved in the DPM and then the last section explores more specifically how libraries can be involved through collection development, community assistance and programming.

Creating a Metadata-Enabled Framework for Resource Discovery in Knowledge Bases
Authors: Howarth Lynne C.
Published: August 2019

With the proliferation of digitized resources accessible via Internet and Intranet knowledge bases, and a pressing need to develop more sophisticated tools for the identification and retrieval of electronic resources, both general purpose and domain-specific metadata schemes have assumed a particular prominence. While recent work emanating from the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has focused on the Resource Description Framework (RDF), and metadata maps or Acrosswalks” have been created to support the interoperability of metadata standards -- thus converting metatags from diverse domains from simply “machine-readable” to “machine-understandable”-- the next iteration, to “human-understandable,” remains a challenge. This apparent gap provides a framework for three-phase research (Howarth, 2000, 1999) to develop a tool which will provide a “human-understandable” front-end search assist to any XML-compliant metadata scheme. Findings from phase one, the analyses and mapping of seven metadata schemes, identify the particular challenges of designing a common “namespace”, populated with element tags which are appropriately descriptive, yet readily understood by a lay searcher, when there is little congruence within, and a high degree of variability across, the metadata schemes under study. Implications for the subsequent design and testing of both the proposed “metalevel ontology” (phase two), and the prototype search assist tool (phase three) are examined.

Exploring the Realities of Interaction and Search Success
Authors: Logan Elisabeth , Jacobson Kristen
Published: August 2019

Investigating skilled and novice interactive searching in a menu-based environment, little or no significant difference was found between the two groups in the number of cycles, number of entries, or in the percent of positive interactive responses during a search session. Despite high percentages of appropriate entries in response to system results, only half the searchers were able to use iterative cycles to obtain additional useful information, although skilled searchers were more successful than novice searchers and interim successes were greater than final success. Whether these findings can be generalized to all searching situations or are particular to menu-based systems merits further investigation.

Comparative Functional Analysis of Boundary Infrastructures, Library Classification, and Social Tagging
Authors: Tennis Joseph T.
Published: August 2019

This paper outlines three information organization frameworks: library classification, social tagging, and boundary infrastructures. It then outlines functionality of these frameworks. The paper takes a neo-pragmatic approach. The paper finds that these frameworks are complementary, and by understanding the differences and similarities that obtain between them, researchers and developers can begin to craft a vocabulary of evaluation.Cet article présente trois cadres d’organisation de l’information : la classification des bibliothèques, l’étiquetage social et les infrastructures frontières. Cet article souligne les différentes fonctionnalités de ces trois cadres. Une approche néo-pragmatique est utilisée. Les résultats indiquent que ces cadres sont complémentaires et que par la compréhension des différences et des similarités qui existent entre eux, les chercheurs et les développeurs peuvent commencer à créer un vocabulaire pour l’évaluation.

The Long Tail of Forgetting: Libraries, the Web 2.0, and the Phenomenology of Memory
Authors: Campbell D. Grant
Published: August 2019

This paper uses Ricoeur’s phenomenology of memory to compare traditional library information systems and the Web 2.0: social software, tagging systems, file sharing and RSS. Both domains employ strategies of information rentention, searching, evocation and reproduction. But the Web 2.0 utilizes a vague principle of “findability,” which leads to more diverse tools and a more diffuse objectives.Cette communication utilise la phénoménologie de la mémoire de Ricœur pour comparer les systèmes d’information traditionnels des bibliothèques et le web 2.0 : les logiciels sociaux, les systèmes d’étiquetage, de partage de fichiers, et les fils de syndication. Les deux domaines utilisent des stratégies de maintien en fonction, de recherche, d’évocation et de reproduction. Cependant, le web 2.0 utilise un vague principe de « repérabilité » menant à des outils plus versatiles et à des objectifs plus diversifiés.
Information Science and Information Systems: Converging or Diverging?
Authors: Monarch Ira A
Published: August 2019

Recent studies have claimed a disconnect between the disciplines of information science and information systems even though, prima facie, there seems to be considerable overlap or potential overlap in their respective subject matter. The present study will target representative journals in the areas of information science and information systems and examine in more detail the overlap or lack of overlap between the two fields as reflected in the co-word analysis of the titles and abstracts of these journal articles. That the subject matters of the two fields can be combined in a discipline will be shown by a similar analysis of a third field, medical informatics, a new discipline in it its own right and a seeming subject matter hybrid of information science and information systems.
On Theory And Application Of Hirsch-Type Indexes
Authors: Glänzel Wolfgang
Published: August 2019

In 2005, J.E. Hirsch proposed a new measure "to quantify an individual's scientific output". He called his measure, which is based on individual citation rank statistics, h-index. It was shown that the h-index correlates with other bibliometric indicators of ‘significance’ but it was also stressed that scientific performance can hardly…En 2005, J.E. Hirsch proposait une nouvelle mesure « pour quantifier la production scientifique individuelle ». Il appelait cette mesure, basée sur un classement statistique de citations personnelles, la h index.

A Pilot Study of Enhancing Subject Discovery of Textual Web Resources
Authors: Yi Kwan
Published: August 2019

The aim of this study is to explore to what degree hyperlinked external resources contribute to the automated subject-related term indexing. Empirical evidence shows no additional enhancement of performance with the additional resources. It also implies that target Web pages are closer in subject to siting pages than sited pages.L’objectif de cette étude est d’explorer à quel degré les ressources hypertextes externes contribuent à l’indexation automatique par sujet. L’observation empirique ne montre aucune amélioration additionnelle de la performance avec les ressources supplémentaires. Ceci implique également que le sujet des pages web ciblées se rapproche davantage du sujet des pages web sélectionnant que des pages web sélectionnées.
