Fundamentals of the gifted education in the prophetic sunnah, and its relation to contemporary educational thought
Authors: ALZBOON Ahmad , ABU JADOU Mahmoud
Published: September 2020

The objective of the study is to identify the fundamentals of mental, psychological and social education for gifted individuals, from an Islamic perspective as narrated by Prophet Mohammad’s (PBUH) Sunnah. By using the analytical inductive methodology, based on investigating the Prophetic Hadeeths, the study aims at identifying the fundamentals of mental, psychological and social education for gifted individuals.
The study showed that the Sunnah has contained several fundamentals of mental, psychological and social education of the gifted and talented Companions (Sahabat), by preparing them for creative by many measures that include the following, but not all: problem solving, enabling them to demonstrate their talents, nurturing their scientific tendencies and attitudes and working on developing them, enriching their environment with stimulants and mental experiences, consulting them on day to day issues, treating young gifted people as adults and listening to their opinions, developing their motivation and helping them express themselves, satisfying their needs for love, removing psychological barriers, involving them in many spiritual and social events, and accompanying them in their travel from one place to another, and intimacy and attachment to the Prophet and keeping personal contact with him. The results also revealed a relationship between the fundamentals of mental and psychological education and social education for the gifted in the prophetic Sunnah and contemporary educational thought

Authors: MSEZANE Sıkhulıle
Published: September 2020

The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of Life Sciences teacher training workshops co-ordinated by the Fundisa for Change Programme whose aim was to strengthen environmental learning in science teacher education. As specified by the programme, Fundisa for Change’s core objective is to strengthen the teaching of environmental concepts in schools. Due to continually emerging environmental crises and uncertainties, many of the environmental topics in the curriculum are new to Life Sciences teachers. Consequently, this affects how the topics are taught to learners in schools. The study employed Margaret Archers Realist Social theory as a lens. There were 12 Life Sciences teachers who took part in this study. Data was collected using qualitatively approach where case study research design was employed. Furthermore, the study used purposive sampling technique of Life Sciences teachers from 10 schools. Face to face, data collection method was used and thematically data analysis technique was employed. The results showed that Life Sciences teachers need relevant professional development workshops that improves their content knowledge, pedagogical teaching methods and assessment techniques. This implies that programmes such as Fundisa for Change provided additional skills to Life Sciences teachers in teaching content based on education for sustainable development (ESD).

Linguistic, Cognitive, and Psycholinguistic Perspectives on Metaphors
Authors: Aloairdhi Nafilah M. , Kahlaoui Noureddine
Published: August 2020

Language is full of metaphors by nature. Metaphors have been heavily studied in relation to language. However, less attention has been paid to metaphors in relation to cognition and psycholinguistics. This article begins by looking at the idea of metaphors in a general sense. It then considers three perspectives on metaphors as follows: 1) the linguistics perspective, 2) the cognitive perspective, and 3) the psycholinguistic perspective. The aim is both to understand different perspectives on metaphors and to provide more insights about how cognitive and psycholinguistic developments have contributed to the linguistic study of metaphors. This article adopts a descriptive approach in which the focus will be on the theoretical descriptions and explanations. It is hoped that the insights and recommendations shown at this article may contribute to deep understanding of this topic.

Translation Strategies of The Strange Days Under Skopos Theory
Authors: Gong Yumin
Published: August 2020

Sven Birkerts (1951-) is an American essayist. His essay The Strange Days is well received by readers. In the context of globalization, literary translation is an important part of cultural exchanges. The Skopos Theory is the theory that applies the Skopos concept to translation. The core concept of Skopos Theory is that translation strategies and methods are determined by the purpose of translation. In the process of translation, the translator should follow three principles, namely, skopos rule, coherence rule and fidelity rule. The translation of literary texts coincides with the idea of Skopos Theory. This paper analyzes the advantages of Skopos Theory in the selection of translation strategies for the translation of The Strange Days from the perspective of the principle of skopos, coherence and fidelity.

Modeling and Prediction of the Impact Factor of Journals Using Open-Access Databases
Authors: Templ Matthias
Published: September 2020

This article is motivated by the work as editor-in-chief of the Austrian Journal of Statistics and contains detailed analyses about the impact of the Austrian Journal of Statistics.

The impact of a journal is typically expressed by journal metrics indicators. One of the important ones, the journal impact factor is calculated from the Web of Science (WoS) database by Clarivate Analytics.

It is known that newly established journals or journals without membership in big publishers often face difficulties to be included, e.g., in the Science Citation Index (SCI) and thus they do not receive a WoS journal impact factor, as it is the case for example, for the Austrian Journal of Statistics.

In this study, a novel approach is pursued modeling and predicting the WoS impact factor of journals using open access or partly open-access databases, like Google Scholar, ResearchGate, and Scopus. I hypothesize a functional linear dependency between citation counts in these databases and the journal impact factor. These functional relationships enable the development of a model that may allow estimating the impact factor for new, small, and independent journals not listed in SCI. However, only good results could be achieved with robust linear regression and well-chosen models.

In addition, this study demonstrates that the WoS impact factor of SCI listed journals can be successfully estimated without using the Web of Science database and therefore the dependency of researchers and institutions to this popular database can be minimized. These results suggest that the statistical model developed here can be well applied to predict the WoS impact factor using alternative open-access databases.
3D Finite-Element Modeling of Dynamic Rupture and Aseismic Slip over Earthquake Cycles on Geometrically Complex Faults
Authors: Luo Bin , Duan Benchun , Liu Dunyu
Published: September 2020

We develop a new dynamic earthquake simulator to numerically simulate both spontaneous rupture and aseismic slip over earthquake cycles on geometrically complex fault systems governed by rate- and state-dependent friction. The method is based on the dynamic finite-element method (FEM) EQdyna, which is directly used in the simulator for modeling 3D spontaneous rupture. We apply an adaptive dynamic relaxation technique and a variable time stepping scheme to EQdyna to model the quasi-static processes of an earthquake cycle, including the postseismic, interseismic, and nucleation processes. Therefore, the dynamic and quasi-static processes of an earthquake cycle are modeled in one FEM framework. Tests on a vertical strike-slip fault verify the correctness of the dynamic simulator. We apply the simulator to thrust faults with various dipping angles, which can be considered as the simplest case of geometrically complex faults by breaking symmetry, compared with vertical faults, to examine effects of dipping fault geometry on earthquake cycle behaviors. We find that shallower dipping thrust faults produce larger seismic slip and longer recurrence time over earthquake cycles with the same rupture area. In addition, we find an empirically linear scaling relation between the recurrence interval (and the seismic moment) and the sinusoidal function of the dip angle. The dip-angle dependence is likely due to the free-surface effect, because of broken symmetry. These results suggest dynamic earthquake simulators that can handle nonvertical dipping fault geometry are needed for subduction-zone earthquake studies.
Evaluating Proxy-Based Site Response in Israel
Authors: Baram Almog , Yagoda-Biran Gony , Kamai Ronnie
Published: September 2020

Three alternative site-response models are developed, using two complementing predictors, accounting for both stiffness and depth effects. The analysis is based on a large database of velocity profiles and their associated calculated amplifications with respect to the local generic rock profile. The frequency of peak amplification—fpeak—is chosen to supplement VS30, after considering the predictability of eight different site proxies. The suggested models are continuous in terms of spectral periods as well as in terms of their predictor parameters—VS30 and fpeak. Model performance is evaluated in terms of the reduction in variability. For example, for a spectral period of T=0.5  s, using either one of the suggested models reduces the amplification variability from 0.4 to 0.18, whereas using VS30 alone reduces it only to 0.24. This improvement suggests that the addition of fpeak is a significant improvement in the midperiod range.
Paisajes industriales e industrias para el turismo: simbolismo patrimonial y alcance territorial
Authors: Pardo Abad Carlos Javier
Published: September 2020

El concepto de turismo industrial explica un fenómeno emergente referido a las prácticas turísticas surgidas en torno a las industrias aún en activo, con visitas que pretenden aproximar al visitante a los procesos técnicos de producción, o a los lugares de tradición histórica con instalaciones que abandonaron hace tiempo la actividad y se han reabierto para el turismo. En ambos casos la experiencia personal de visita gira en torno a las tecnologías y el saber hacer, los edificios y los lugares industriales, las etapas económicas y sociales y la estética que crea la industrialización o la pérdida definitiva de la producción. Los territorios juegan un papel muy importante por ser el marco de las distintas fases de la Revolución Industrial, con las sucesivas transformaciones y declives, que generan vestigios e hitos patrimoniales que son testigos directos de un importante legado material.

Published: September 2020

The new website of the city of Porto (www.visitporto.travel), that started development in early 2010 and was activated in May 2011, functions as a tourism marketplace combined with an integrated information system for tourism. This is achieved by combining a series of tools and technologies that provide information and advice and support the acquisition of goods and services. Starting from the early stage of trip planning and remote access (telephone, SMS, email and web), proceeding to the arrival into the city and face to face interactions in e.g. tourist shops, combined with other means of self-information and acquisition of goods and services (e.g. PortoCard), supporting the visit all the way up to eventually leaving the city to visit other destinations, such as the vineyards of the Douro Valley, and coming back to Porto for the return journey, and finishing with the process of feedback and follow-up. This paper describes the rationale behind the creation of this website that intends to be a tourism gateway to the Metropolitan Area of Porto and Northern Portugal with special emphasis on the Douro Valley, and the experience behind the process of designing, implementing and rolling out the new portal, and adapting it to user feedback. Although the website is still under active development some parts of it are already considered to be a success. The most important result seems to be that the website is working as a rally point for the tourism ecosystem, fostering the development of synergies between the different players.
Las personas con discapacidad y el turismo cultural: una realidad inconclusa
Authors: Lázaro Fernández Yolanda , Rubio Florido Isabel
Published: September 2020

Al inicio de este siglo XXI hablar de la existencia del Derecho al Ocio no debiera ser algo sorprendente puesto que, este derecho, es una conquista social reconocida en numerosas e importantes declaraciones de organismos internacionales. En estos inicios del siglo XXI, el Ocio está siendo reconocido cada vez más como un elemento de la calidad de vida de las sociedades y de los individuos. Incluso puede decirse que se ha producido un reconocimiento institucional de este fenómeno, y los poderes públicos están implicados en cuestiones económicas y políticas, gestión de equipamientos, servicios, publicidad, etc., de los diferentes entornos de ocio (cultura, deporte, turismo y recreación). Se parte de la defensa y reivindicación del Derecho al Ocio ya que éste es un derecho reconocido dentro de la Tercera Generación de Derechos Humanos y como tales son atributos innatos al ser humano, es decir, que nacen con él y que son inseparables de su condición de persona. Partiendo de estas ideas, no sería necesario justificar el derecho al disfrute del turismo y del turismo cultural por parte de las personas con discapacidad, pero la realidad demuestra que esto no siempre es así, puesto que este derecho no siempre está garantizado para todos los ciudadanos.

Published: September 2020

La práctica pedagógica supervisada (PPS) es un momento en que los estudiantes se enfrentan directamente con la realidad que tendrán en sus futuras actividades profesionales y se convierte en un espacio formativo en el que los futuros profesores desarrollan acciones pedagógicas en situaciones de la vida real. El objetivo de este estudio fue conocer las percepciones de profesores en formación de una universidad regional del sur de Chile sobre su proceso de formación práctica. Es una investigación de tipo cuantitativa donde participaron 95 profesores en formación. Los profesores en formación valoran los espacios de formación práctica, pero visualizan distanciamiento entre lo que se enseña en clases en la universidad y la realidad escolar.
Women’s Road to Imprisonment: Reflections on Dehumanization
Authors: Cadena Sandra J. , Cadena Mantilla Guillermo
Published: September 2020

Women in prisons represent a unique and complex population throughout the world. The authors have provided psychiatric consultation, diagnoses and treatment for hundreds of these women over the past three decades in the United States. We have identified five factors that can precipitate a cascade of consequences that result in women coming to prison. Sometimes it is a one-time experience; other times, women repeat offenses, ending up in prisons for longer periods. These factors include 1) being sexually abused and/or prostituted as a child, 2) alcohol abuse, 3) legal and illegal psychoactive substances use and abuse, 4) conspiracy with an intimate partner, and 5) mental disorders. We provide quotes from some of the many women interviewed in prison who have experienced at least one of these precipitant factors. We hope that our reflections offer insights into the complexity of incarceration and the pressing need to address the mental health concerns of these disenfranchised and vulnerable women in our prison systems.
Formas para imaginar el horror y la desaparición en la escritura de Nona Fernández

Published: September 2020

En el presente artículo exploro cómo las novelas Fuenzalida (2012) y La dimensión desconocida (2016), de la escritora chilena Nona Fernández, acuden al archivo para interrogarlo y dinamizarlo a través de la ficción novelesca en una actitud que desentraña las huellas de un pasado traumático y vigente del que no se puede salir ileso. Así, encuentro en la emergencia de estos textos novelescos, que, si bien son deudores de soportes históricos, una amplificación del trabajo literario en un acercamiento al material documental desde la potencia de la imaginación política.

Published: September 2020

Purwodadi Botanic Garden (KR Purwodadi) is an ex situ conservation institution for dry climate lowland plants aiming at saving and protecting biodiversity from extinction. In supporting ex situ conservation efforts, plant exploration activities in their natural habitat need to be carried out. Alas Purwo National Park has a lowland forest area with abundant plant diversity. In addition to functioning as a conservation forest, this area is also a natural and religious tourist attraction, so it is likely to undergo ecosystem damage. Therefore, this plant diversity study with the activity of plants exploration and collection was carried out for the purpose of ex situ conservation in KR Purwodadi. This study was conducted in August to September 2019 using an explorative method. A total of 24 species were obtained, of which 8 species were not yet cultivated by KR Purwodadi. Besides, there were 5 species included in the IUCN red list, namely Aglaonema simplex, Brucea javanica, Cycas rumphii, Melanolepis multiglandulosa, and Musa acuminata. This study has increased the number of plant collections in KR Purwodadi and contribute positively to the comprehensiveness of plant species data in Alas Purwo National Park.

Published: September 2020

Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) combined with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) is an efficient technology applied in plant metabolomics research. This technique allows for visualization of spatial distribution of metabolites such as: lipids, proteins, peptides and DNA sequences, by determining the x, y coordinates of the compounds exactly in plant tissue. Simplicity of the tissue preparation without the need of prior exact knowledge about the analytes is a great advantage of this method. In this review, we provide an overview of experimental workflow including sample preparation, data acquisition and analysis, methodology, and some recent applications of MALDI MS imaging in plant metabolomics research.
Improving Health Care Service through Healthy Psychological Capital and Positive Attitudes
Authors: Saleh Ariyanti , Wirawan Hillman , Tamar Muhammad
Published: September 2020

This study aims to investigate the interaction between Psychological Capital (PsyCap) and Organizational Commitment in predicting Organizational Citizenship Behaviors (OCB) via Work-Engagement among nurses in Indonesia. Although most studies supported that PsyCap always had a positive impact on desired employee’s outcomes, the effect could be different across jobs. The Cognitive Evaluation Theory was used to explain how the co-existence of Organizational Commitment could reduce the effect of Nurse’s PsyCap. This study administered 900 survey booklets to six randomly selected hospitals in the eastern part of Indonesia. The survey included demographic data (e.g. age and tenure), Psychological Capital Questionnaire, Organizational Commitment Questionnaire, Utrecht Work-Engagement Scale, and Organizational Citizenship Behavior Scale. There were 637 (71%) out of 900 registered Nurses fully participated in the data collection and mostly female (529 or 90.6%). The data were analyzed with Moderated-mediation technique using PROCESS by Hayes in SPSS. The results suggested a partial mediation effect of Work-Engagement on the PsyCap-OCB relationship. This indicated that PsyCap directly predicted OCB or via Work-Engagement. The key findings also indicated that having a high degree of Organizational Commitment could reduce the effect of PsyCap on Work-Engagement and subsequently on OCB. It appeared that while Nurses maintained a high Organizational Commitment, their PsyCap did not contribute significantly to OCB and Work Engagement.
Small Area Estimation with Measurement Error in t Distributed Covariate Variable
Authors: Hariyanto Soni , Notodiputro Khairil Anwar , Kurnia Anang , Sadik Kusman
Published: September 2020

The large need for small area data and limited auxiliary information drive the development of small area estimation methods with auxiliary information comes from survey data. The consequence of the existence of the auxiliary variables from survey data is the development of measurement error models. Survey data is used as auxiliary variables that are taken randomly so that the data is considered to be stochastic. Thus, the measurement error model is assumed to be structural. Meanwhile, auxiliary information or covariates does not always have a normal distribution but sometimes contain outliers so the assumption of the t-distribution is considered to be more appropriate. Therefore, we use the moment-method to estimate the parameters and develop an empirical Bayes-EB predictor in a nested error regression model with measurement errors in the area-level covariates. In addition, the covariate in this model is assumed in the t-distribution which were previously always considered normal. Using simulation studies, we can report the performance of EB predictor under true covariates and measurement errors assumed to be t-distributions based on mean squared prediction errors (EMSPE). The results show that the model we developed leads to a significant increase in efficiency compared to EB predictors previously proposed. Furthermore, this approach is applied in National socio-economic survey (Susenas) data in Malang Regency with the aim of predicting mean years of schooling by districts using monthly per capita household expenditure data as the covariate variables that are considered to have the t-distribution.

Authors: Deniz Serdal , Yavuz Mehmet
Published: September 2020

The main aim of this study is to investigate reading error types, reading levels and reading speeds of students with special learning difficulties (SLD). A case study model was used in the research. The research was carried out with 34 students enrolled in Grades 3â€“8, who were diagnosed with SLD in Konya in the 2019â€“2020 academic year. In the data analysis, while â€˜error analysisâ€™ was used for reading error types, the formula Number of Words Correctly Read Ã· Total Word Number of Text Ã— 100 was utilised to determine reading levels. As for the identification of reading rates, the number of words read correctly in one minute was determined. According to the results of the research, the error types displayed by the students with SLD in the texts that are suitable for the classes that they attend and in the texts that belong to lower grade levels than their actual grade levels were found to be misreading, hesitating while reading, repeating, omitting a sound/syllable/word or skipping a line, substituting a sound/syllable or a word, pausing while reading, correction and reversing sounds.

 

Keywords: Special learning difficulties, reading difficulty, reading error types, reading levels, case study.

Authors: Ferreira Oliveira Pedro Rubens
Published: September 2020

O presente artigo indica alguns traços da pneumatologia de Paul Tilli­ch, a partir de um estudo da quarta parte de sua Teologia Sistemática, A Vida e o Espírito, na qual o autor aborda a correlação entre a questão da ambiguidade da vida e a resposta simbólica de uma teologia do Espírito. Num primeiro momento, traçam-se as bases antropológicas de uma pneumatologia. Em seguida, aborda-se a Presença do Espírito de Deus no espaço e no tempo, nas mediações históricas, dentro da dinâmica escatológica do já e do ainda não. Enfim, antes de concluir com os indicativos de um discernimento teológico necessário, reflete-se sobre a Presença Espiritual face ao paradoxo das Igrejas e ao apelo de uma abertura ao diálogo com outras religiões e outras formas de crer e de viver, onde o Espírito de Deus trabalha.

A KÉNOSIS DO ESPÍRITO SANTO E A CRIAÇÃO EM SERGEI BULGAKOV
Authors: Xavier Donizete José , Da Silva Maria Freire
Published: September 2020

Este artigo tem por objetivo analisar a kénosis do Espírito Santo como chave de leitura da fé cristã na criação à luz do pensamento de Sergei Bulgakov. Evidencia-se a relevância soteriológica do Espírito Santo que, em sua igualdade ao Filho, diviniza o homem e o mundo. A kénosis do Espírito, que vai desde o pairar sobre as águas, na criação, até a Transfiguração, a consumação escatológica do novo céu e da nova terra, repousa sobre a criatura, atuando em sua condição humana marcada pela sua história e fragilidade. Ressalta-se que somente em analogia à kénosis do Filho é possível falar da kénosis do Espírito, isso porque esta se une à natureza humana, tomando-o debaixo da sombra do seu poder, da sua potência. Por fim, conclui-se que no influxo do Espírito que cria e recria, o ser humano é chamado a buscar em si mesmo a inspiração originária do Paraíso terrestre que o interpela à ética ecológica da responsabilidade de salvaguardar a criação.
“CHRIST CONSUMES THE MARROW OUT OF OUR BONES” – CORPOREALITY IN THE MYSTICAL DOCTRINE OF JOHN OF RUUSBROEC (*1293 – †1381)
Authors: Kors Michel
Published: September 2020

In this article we pretend to explore the theme of corporeality in the mystical doctrine of the medieval author John of Ruusbroec. After explaining the radically different understanding of a body in medieval thinking we present a theoretical framework based on Patricia Dailey’s analysis of the inner and the outer body. After this, we make a first analysis of Ruusbroec’s approach to the body in het mystical experience. In Ruusbroec’s work the integration of the inner and outer body is more evident than in the previous tradition, that is, especially in the female spirituality of the 13th century. Corporeality is a theme with limited occurrence in Ruusbroec’s mystical doctrine, and it is mainly linked to Eucharistic devotion, but not exclusively.

Contexto: O crescimento da Tecnologia da Informação (TI) gera impactos ambientais. Benefícios de práticas de TI Verde. Diminuição de impactos ambientais. TI Verde no planejamento estratégico.
Objetivo: Mapear a percepção de especialistas, coordenadores e gestores de TI quanto às práticas de TI verde nas organizações e o seu posicionamento estratégico.
Desenho/Metodologia/Abordagem: Foi realizada uma revisão da literatura que fundamentou uma pesquisa de campo aplicada a 97 gestores e especialistas de TI de organizações, a maioria do estado do Rio de Janeiro e São Paulo, dos mais variados ramos de negócios, no período de dezembro/2018 a janeiro/2019. Os dados foram analisados através de estatística descritiva e de quatro cruzamentos dos resultados sobre práticas de TI Verde, planejamento estratégico e metas ambientais.
Resultados: Observou-se que menos da metade das organizações não tratam a TI Verde como um item estratégico, não a incluindo em seu planejamento estratégico, em sua política ambiental, e não criando metas ambientais.
Implicações práticas: Espera-se que esta pesquisa contribua, demonstrando a importância de reduzir os impactos ambientais, os benefícios das práticas de TI Verde, além de oferecer novas soluções às organizações.
Originalidade/valor: A TI Verde não é tratada de maneira estratégica, o que causa um contraponto: a TI é uma área imprescindível para o negócio e geradora de vantagem competitiva, porém não tem os seus impactos ambientais tratados estrategicamente.

Implicações práticas: o estudo permitiu o levantamento e registro dos desafios na implantação do ERP em uma metalúrgica com linhas de produtos diferenciadas, de onde advém a sua originalidade e relevância.  

Originalidade/valor: a originalidade consiste no fato de o estudo ter sido realizado em uma metalúrgica de médio porte, localizada na região centro-oeste, com três unidades e linhas de produtos diferenciados, quando a implantação do ERP estava sendo concluída.
Formation of the Concept of a Circular Economy
Authors: A. Gureva Maria , S. Deviatkova Yulia
Published: August 2020

The article represents a historical survey that describes the emergence and development of the circular economy as an independent concept and its interconnection to the phenomenon of new industrialization. The variety of definitions of the concept “circular economy” given by Russian and foreign scientists are provided in the article; basic approaches to the concept formation are determined. The comparative analysis of basic concepts related to the environmentalism (sustainable development, ecologization, green economy, circular economy) was carried out. The evolutionary development of ecological imperatives that take part in the concept formation is studied; the characteristics of the concept, current state and general development prospects are described. The article is concluded by the clarified definition of “circular economy”. From the author’s point of view, the circular economy concept is a general approach to promote green growth in countries’ development that allows overcoming global ecological problems and, as a result, achieving sustainable state of the planet and saving lives on Earth.
THE MAGNETIC PROPERTIES MEASUREMENT OF COIL FOR GRAVITATIONAL ACCELERATION DETERMINATION

The value of the gravitational acceleration of the earth above the earth’s surface depends on the position of the latitude and longitude of the earth’s surface, in other words, because the shape of the earth’s surface is not round like a ball. The magnitude of gravity is not the same everywhere on the surface of the earth. The purpose of this study is to analyze the value of the earth’s gravitational acceleration in a laboratory using a current balance with a graphical method. Fluctuations in the value of the magnetic field strength (B) and the value of the electric current strength (i) on the current balance cause the value of laboratory gravitational acceleration (glab) to vary in the transfer of electric charge (q) according to coil type. The magnitude of the earth’s gravitational acceleration value obtained in a laboratory with a current balance for each type of coil is as follows: SF-37 glab-nr=9.89 m/s2, SF-38 glab-nr=9.90 m/s2, SF-39 glab-nr=9.76 m/s2, SF-40 glab-nr=9.95 m/s2, SF-41 glab-nr=9.75 m/s2 dan SF-42 glab-nr=9.93 m/s2. The results obtained indicate that the value of the earth’s gravitational acceleration in a laboratory close to the literature value is the value of the glab-nr in the SF-37 coil type of 9.89 m/s2.

The indoor air quality monitoring system is needed to find out good air condition. Good air condition can be seen from two (2) factors, namely dust, and temperature. Dust in a room can affect health if it exceeds the threshold of 0.15 mg/m3, and the temperature of 35oC has been determined by SK MENKLH No.02/MENKLH/I/1998. For that, we need a system that can determine the temperature and dust conditions in a room. The main objective of this research is to create an indoor air quality monitoring system based on the Internet of Things (IoT). This research uses engineering methods, which include planning, design, testing, and system implementation. In this system, when the dust level is more than 0.15 mg/m3 the LED indicator 1 and the active sprayer tell and neutralize the dust content in the air and when the intensity of the temperature is more than 35oC the LED indicator 2 and the active sprayer tell and neutralize the temperature intensity at the room. When both values exceed the set threshold, the LED indicators 1, LED 2, buzzer, the sprayer will be active simultaneously to notify and neutralize the air and temperature in the room. The test results show this system can work well with the percentage of errors in the testing of 12% for dust sensors and 1.6% for temperature sensors.
The importance of underpaint corrosion caused by damage to paint on steel structures
Authors: Ribeiro Filho Guido Lessa , Ribas Rovadávia , Donizetti de Paula Geraldo
Published: September 2020

The impact of varying the dry paint film thickness (DFT) on the underpaint corrosion of steel plates obtained from the floor of an offshore oil platform is evaluated. The specimens were all prepared using the same material and paint scheme, and the DFT and exposure conditions in a salt spray chamber were varied and compared with the results obtained in a real situation. The results indicated that corrosion initiated at sites where the paint was damaged, may be more important than corrosion through the undamaged paint due to permeation, even in cases where the DFT is thin. In specimens whose substrates were previously damaged, there were pathological manifestations of osmotic blistering. The underpaint corrosion that occurred after the paint was damaged in the field occurred at an intensity like that observed for the tested specimens.
