Form and File: estimating running form in R
Authors: Royle Stephen
Published: July 2023

There are lots of ways for runners and cyclists to analyse training data. A key question most fitness enthusiasts want to know is “how am I doing?”. “How you are doing” is referred to as form. Unsurprisingly, form can be estimated in many ways. One method is using training stress scores (acute training load and chronic training load) to assess form as training stress balance. The acronyms for these terms are apparently copyrighted(!) by TrainingPeaks. So I will...

Online learning and intellectual honesty
Authors: Grieve-Smith Angus
Published: July 2023

In January I wrote that I believe online learning is possible, but I have doubts about whether online courses are an adequate substitute for in-person college classes, let alone an improvement. One of those doubts concerns trust and intellectual honesty. Any course is an exchange. The students pay money to the college, the instructor gets a cut, and the students get something of value in return. What that something is can be disputed. In theory, the teacher gives the students knowledge:...

Selection of tradition and resistance to cultural oblivion in the poetry of Ljubomir Simović and Matija Bećković
Authors: Gromović Milan
Published: July 2023

The choice of tradition, in the Eliot sense, determined two contemporary Serbian poets and brought their poetics closer to creating an alternative to cultural oblivion. It is a question of poetic turning to tradition (poetic memory) as a multi-layered alternative - a creative path of poetic memory in three directions: renewal of tradition, re-actualization of the topos of modesty and development of the song-prayer as a genre. The renewal of the dormant / neglected tradition, which implies a cultural vertical from Byzantine aesthetics, through the Serbian Middle Ages to the present day, is a poetic focus on a kind of nurturing, re-actualization of poetic heritage. The paper presents an analysis of the poems "Ten Addresses to the Mother of God Trojeručica Hilandarska" by Ljubomir Simović and "Bogorodica Trojeručica" by Matija Bećković from the aspect of poetic prayer defined by the modern Russian theory of literature, in the first place Valentina Avramova Maslova. Modesty as a general place of the medieval Serbian and Byzantine writing tradition is re-actualized in the mentioned poems in the function of framing the lyrical structure with elements of prayer and supplication. Motives that express modesty correspond to the motives of sinfulness of the individual and the collective, as well as to the motive of redemption, which is still in this form of contemporary Serbian poetry almost the same as in the Middle Ages. The rhetoric of self-humiliation results from the position of a lyrical subject who is homeless and crippled in Bećković's poem, and in Simović's conscious of the "stench of sins" of the collective to which he belongs. Repentance and desire, hope in mercy and forgiveness of sins, which is the basis of the medieval liturgical genre of prayer, are added to modesty. The work further illuminates the process of aesthetic permeation of the sacred and the secular (artistic), which is a key element of poetic prayer, which is an author's lyrical poem based on the prayers and supplications of those from the new Middle Ages.

Long-Term Follow-up of Osteoarthritis in Three Humboldt Penguins Treated with Acupuncture
Authors: Johnson V. Renea
Published: July 2023

Humboldt penguins, (Spheniscus humbolti) are medium-sized penguins from the rocky shores of Chile and Peru. Their lifespan in the wild is 20-25 years and in captivity 20-30 years. Three geriatric penguins at the Santa Barbara Zoological Park displayed various degrees of lameness and decreased swim time in their pool. Radiographs revealed osteoarthritis in numerous joints. Conventional treatments with various non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) were minimally effective at improving their mobility. The penguins were part of a zoo rookery and were not used to being handled. The traditional Chinese veterinary medicine (TCVM) examinations were kept brief and treatments done under the supervision of the zoo veterinary staff. The three penguins received a TCVM Pattern diagnosis of Kidney Qi Deficiency with local Stagnation in various joints. Dry needle acupuncture treatments utilizing minimal restraint were administered monthly for a year. Between acupuncture treatments, conventional medication was also administered. During the year of treatment, the geriatric penguins’ quality of life showed some improvement. One of the penguin’s mobility improved enough to again swim in the pool and catch fish during the feeding sessions. The other two penguins demonstrated some mild improvement with their mobility on land and swam more frequently in the pool. These improvements allowed them to remain part of their colony.

Aproximación in sílico a la adsorción de etanol, etanal y ácido etanoico en la superficie (001) Ni(OH)2 mediante dinámica molecular
Authors: De Hoyos Martín , Caballero Griselda , Miranda Mario L. , Lezcano Ritzela E.
Published: July 2023

La contaminación ambiental y el agotamiento de los combustibles fósiles han impulsado la búsqueda de fuentes alternativas de energía. Las celdas de combustible han ganado popularidad porque convierten directamente la energía química en energía eléctrica utilizable. Las celdas de combustibles alcalinas de etanol directo presentan cualidades prometedoras ya que pueden utilizar catalizadores diferentes a los metales nobles, disminuyendo su costo. Uno de los retos de esta tecnología es el diseño de nuevos catalizadores que aumenten la eficiencia de las celdas. El propósito de esta investigación fue utilizar los métodos de dinámica molecular, específicamente el programa AMS-REAXFF para determinar los coeficientes de difusión del etanol sobre una superficie β-Ni(OH)2 a diferentes temperaturas. Adicionalmente, se calcularon las energías de adsorción tanto del etanol como de sus productos de oxidación (etanal y ácido etanoico) sobre la superficie β-Ni(OH)2 a diferentes temperaturas. Los resultados obtenidos indican que el coeficiente de difusión del etanol aumenta proporcionalmente con la temperatura y el ajuste de mínimos cuadrados indica que cumple el modelo de Arrhenius. La energía de activación predicha es positiva, indicando la necesidad de suministrar energía al sistema para iniciar el proceso de difusión. De acuerdo con los resultados obtenidos para las energías de adsorción, la molécula de etanol presenta una menor afinidad hacia la superficie (001) del β-Ni(OH)2 en comparación con las moléculas de etanal y ácido etanoico respectivamente. Sin embargo, para el rango de temperaturas seleccionado (bajas temperaturas) la variación de la energía de adsorción se mantuvo dentro del mismo orden de magnitud.

Published: July 2023

MSMEs have an important role in a country's economy because of their contribution to economic growth, job creation, innovation, and community empowerment. The establishment of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) creates an obligation in the field of taxation. Businesses or business owners are obliged to pay taxes and submit notification letters. The problem that often occurs is that MSME actors do not fully understand tax obligations, including the obligation to submit SPT reports. Non-compliance with these obligations will result in sanctions for MSMEs. Administrative fines will be given when MSMEs are late or do not submit Periodic and Annual Tax Returns. The service team then carries out community service activities as a solution to the problems faced by MSME actors. The method used in this PKM is lecture, practice and discussion with a participatory approach. The lecture is carried out online with the meeting application. The practice is carried out by utilizing online SPT form technology with examples of various tax cases in the MSME environment. Discussions with MSME actors aim to develop new skills and approaches in solving problems encountered in SPT reporting. After the SPT reporting training activity in Sendangguwo Village, Tembalang District, MSME actors became more aware and were able to fill out SPT properly.
Evaluation des résultats des activités de l’Assemblée Provinciale de Bandundu de 2006-2015

Published: July 2023

L’exercice du mandat parlementaire requiert aujourd’hui plus de maitrise des règles du jeu démocratique, de connaissance en vue d’une meilleure défense des intérêts du peuple. Ces intérêts ne peuvent être rencontrés qu’à travers les missions traditionnelles confiées aux Assemblées parlementaires que les députés doivent remplir convenablement. Notre étude s’est déroulée au cours de la session parlementaire de 2006 à 2015 dans l’Assemblée Provinciale de Bandundu. Pour réaliser cette étude, nous avons recouru à la méthode historique, aux techniques d’interview, documentaire et d’observation directe et indirecte. Les moyens d’information et de contrôle de l’Assemblée provinciale sur le Gouvernement provincial, les entreprises publiques, les établissements et services publics ont été effectués par la question orale ou écrite avec débat non suivi de vote ; la question d’actualité ; l’interpellation ; la commission d’enquête et l’audition par les commissions. Nous avons également observé deux motions de défiance qui ont été traitées dans l’Assemblée Provinciale et une non débattue. Au cours de cette législature, l’Assemblée Provinciale de Bandundu a voté au total 6 Edits ordinaires et 11 Edits budgétaires. Quant à la représentation du peuple par les députés lors des vacances parlementaires, lors de cette législature la plupart des élus du peuple ne se rendaient pas en vacances parlementaires dans leurs circonscriptions électorales. Ils restaient sur place au chef-lieu de la province, certains par contre se rendaient à Kinshasa. Nous sommes arrivés à la conclusion selon laquelle l’Assemblée Provinciale a joué son rôle convenablement néanmoins les députés doivent fournir des efforts pendant les vacances parlementaires de se rendre auprès de la population en vue d’acquérir les informations qui vont leur permettre de mieux les représenter. Mots-clés : Assemblée Provinciale, Bandundu, Evaluation.

PT. PAS is a company engaged in the manufacturing industry, is a company that manages palm oil into Crude Palm Oil (CPO) and Palm Kernel (PK) with a capacity of 30 tons/hour. The method used in this study is Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM). This method can determine the actions of preventive maintenance activities on each component of the screw press machine. This study aims to provide proposals for scheduling preventive Maintenance of screw press machines using the Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) approach and determine appropriate maintenance actions in damage prevention. Based on the results of the research conducted, it can be concluded that in the Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) approach, it is known that five types of damage are a priority for repair. The types of damage included in the repair priority are worm screws, extension shafts, bearings, press cages, and oil seals. The proposed maintenance time for each critical component is a worm screw component maintenance time interval of 307.84 hours and a changeover schedule every 2035.3 hours. Component extension shaft maintenance time interval 279.5 hours, changeover schedule every 1824.5 hours. Bearing components have a maintenance time interval of 300.2 hours and a changeover schedule of every 1492.5 hours. Oil seal components maintenance time interval 286.1 hours, changeover schedule every 2769.9 hours. Press cage components maintenance time interval 250.72 hours, changeover schedule every 3277.8 hours. Actions are taken in the form of direct prevention of the source of component damage based on the time or age of the component

The development of technology today is widely misused by some people who intend to forge paper on documents and books. One way to find out the authenticity of a paper is by knowing its age. The age of paper can be known in several ways: carbon dating, uranium dating, and potassium-argon dating. But these methods still have weaknesses, requiring sophisticated equipment at a high cost, long processes to get results and limited access. To solve this problem, researchers made an application that can identify the age range of a sheet of paper with a faster process, low cost and does not have to be used by laboratory employees alone. The application is a Paper Age Prediction Application made desktop-based, using the MATLAB programming language with the Anfis Sugeno (TSK) Gaussian membership function method. Image processing by taking the average values of C, M, Y, and K from 70 images used as a database and will be trained with ANFIS. The research method uses interviews, observations, and literature studies—the prototype application development method. The test results showed an application success rate in identifying 60 data that had been trained by 100% against 40 that had not been trained by 42.5%.
