Published: December 2020

The construction sector plays an important role in a country's economy. This is because construction projects such as the construction of buildings, roads, bridges and other infrastructure are one of the benchmarks of economic progress and civilization of a country. Work accidents on construction projects can cause work to stop and result in financial losses and decreased work productivity. According to the Minister of Manpower in 2018 the number of work accidents has increased from the previous year even from the data of the Central Statistics Agency stating that the majority of construction workers are junior high school graduates and below. This is one of the factors causing the increase in occupational accidents in the construction sector. Losses from work accidents are also included in workers' losses, damage to equipment and materials wasted due to work accidents. Occupational health and safety (K3) risk control is very important as a preventive effort to prevent a bigger event. One such control is the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) or more commonly called personal protective equipment (PPE). The existence of PPE is important for workers to minimize the impact of accidents so that each company is obliged to use PPE. This study aims to minimize the number of work accidents in Indonesia, especially in the construction sector. The method used in making the body vest is the addition of an airbag by applying the fall detection algorithm to the K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), which is to calculate the Euclidean distance which is the distance between the sample and training data and then determine the k nearest data from the sample so that the sample can be classified on the sensor and microcontroller. The way it works is when a collision or a hard collision occurs, workers will generally be thrown or dropped then there will be a change in the acceleration of the position of the body wearing a body vest. The change in acceleration triggers the development of airbags on the body vest. This is expected to reduce injuries to vital organs in the worker's body.

Published: December 2020

The importance of hybrid cloud computing has become a reality in recent years for large and medium enterprises and even at the individual level, which increases the need for many improvements in its availability level. One of the most important things that affects availability is the task scheduling process. Task scheduling is subject to many scheduling algorithms and these algorithms differ in terms of performance and purpose, the most important aspects being improved by using an appropriate scheduling algorithm is the total execution time(makespane) and also the success rate and downtime live migration. Because working on a cloud computing environment is costly and complex, we have simulated a hybrid cloud environment using reliable and accurate simulation and used Directed acyclic graph(DAG) as a workflow application. In this paper we will compare scheduling and planning algorithms for cloud computing environment by implementing a framework using (workflowsim) based on (cloudsim) simulator in order to choose the best algorithm to verify the possibility of improving availability.

Authors: Plugatar Yu. V. , Sharmagiy* А. К. , Balykina E. B.
Published: December 2020

Studies in the Crimea have shown that both on the southern coast and in the central foothill region, an adventive pest of plants of the genus Buxus - the boxwood fireweed (Cydalima perspectalis), develops in three generations. Caterpillars of the second - third instars hibernate; their emergence from diapause occurs in early April. The timing and duration of development of each of the three generations of the boxwood firefighter in the conditions of the Crimea were determined, the lifespan of the imago was determined, averaging about two weeks, with some individuals living for more than 20 days. The sex index in adults varies in different generations, depending on the living conditions. Thus, in the central foothill region in the first generation, the ratio of females and males reaches 2: 1, and in the second generation, both the proportion of males and melanistic individuals increases in comparison with typically colored butterflies. In each of the three generations, males emerged from pupae 3-5 days earlier than females. The fertility of melanistic females is higher than that of the typically colored. A spring-summer diapause was observed in caterpillars of II-III instars in the overwintered, first and second generations.

Published: December 2020

Currently, the problem of broadening the diversity of cultivated barley varieties based on the effective genes for resistance to the leaf rust causal agent Puccinia hordei has become relevant. In 2018–2019 the resistance of 925 barley accessions from Ethiopia to the northwestern (St. Petersburg, Pushkin) pathogen population was evaluated. The accessions were sown at a later date, favoring to severe plant damage. The resistance was assessed during the heading period and over the milk ripening stage using a point scale. The results of the experiments have indicated a low diversity of Ethiopian barley according to the studied trait. Only 4 accessions have been resistant to P. hordei, and 3 breeding lines (k-30810, k-30811 and k-30812) have been protected by the previously identified Rph7 gene, which efficiency has been decreasing
in recent years. The accession k-21919 has possessed a high level of resistance to the pathogen (i.e. lack of damage symptoms) and therefore it can be recommended for utilization in barley breeding.
The seasonal dynamics of wireworm activity and damage of the different potato varieties in the northwest of Russia under condition of water deficiency
Authors: Fasulati* S. R. , Ivanova O. V.
Published: December 2020

The dominant pests of potato tubers in the Northwestern Region of Russia among the wireworms are the larvae of the click beetle Agriotes lineatus (Coleoptera, Elateridae). Under arid conditions of 2019, the high level of potato tubers damage by wireworms has been recorded in July only. Over dry seasons a short-time contacts of wireworm larvae with food and water sources in the dry soil and their migrations to the deeper and more humid levels are most possible. Under such conditions, the larvae could not be observed during the attractive baits changing or the dig-upping of potato samples, despite the damaged tubers presence. Thus, in case of dry spring the evaluation of the wireworm population density before the potato planting using the standard method of “sample plots” could give the biased results. In this case, it is necessary to undertake the entire complex of preventive measures independently from the results of pest number evaluations over the spring season. It has been shown that the larvae of A. lineatus developed the food preferences for the tubers of different potato varieties during entire vegetative period starting from the potato planting. As a result of the numerous field evaluations over 2015-2019 the resistant varieties Alyi Parus, Liga, Nayada, Sirenevyi Tuman has been distinguished. Preliminary data of the 2019 have shown that the varieties Red Fantasy, Gala, Gusar, Manifest, Rubin and others are also resistant to wireworms.

Published: December 2020

In two geographical points of the Krasnodar Territory, viz. vil. Botanika, Gulkevichi District (eastern subzone of the Central natural-economic zone of the Krasnodar Territory) and st. Kurchanskaya, Temryuk District (Anapo-Taman natural-economic zone) on industrial plantations of maize, Delta sticky traps supplied with various baits were tested for attractiveness for adults of the European corn borer (ECB), Ostrinia nubilalis Hbn. In contrast to sex pheromones, traps with ‘bisex lure’ (semiochemicals phenylacetaldehyde and 4-methoxy-2-phenethyl alcohol) or LEDs captured a considerable number of females, whose prognostic value was significantly higher than that of males. On maize fields near Botanika traps with ‘bisex lure’ caught moths almost at 20- and traps with LEDs more than 70-fold higher rate as compared to sex pheromones. On maize plantations near Kurchanskaya, where both the saturation of crop rotations with maize fields and the pest population is significantly lower, semiochemicals caught ECB moths at the same rate as sex pheromones, in contrast to LEDs, which attracted insects by an order of magnitude more frequently. The results of the tests indicate that the use of LED traps for monitoring of ECB is promising under the modern economic situation of expanding the territories intended for the production of corn grain.

Authors: Lobanov Dmitriy , Strungar Elena
Published: December 2020

The paper analyses the numerical algorithms for experimental data processing using a contactless video system Vic-3D, designed for three-dimension analysis of displacement and strain fields, and digital image correlation method. The authors considered methodological issues of conducting an experiment using a video system. They suggested recommendations on the choice of parameters of calculation of correlation, the size of subset and step during the analysis of non-homogeneous displacement and strain fields in polymer composite materials through laminated fiberglass composite. The efficient parameters of mathematical data processing are identified according to digital image correlation method on the basis of building fields for one frame on the surface of laminated fiberglass reinforced plastic at various subset values and at fixed step value. The paper shows the impact of step value on the strain fields detail degree. The authors have identified the relation of the chosen parameters of experimental data processing using digital image correlation method with the scaled levels of consideration of composite materials strain processes. To evaluate the strains at various scale levels, the paper uses supplementary video system instruments: “virtual extensometer”, “rectangular area” and “line”. The authors obtained a longitudinal strain profile that allows evaluating the location of strain peak areas on the composite object surface.
Bi-level Hybrid Uncertainty Quantification in Fatigue Analysis: S-N Curve Approach
Authors: Nonato Raphael Basilio Pires
Published: December 2020

Due to its physical complexity, fatigue phenomenon inherently presents a significant number of uncertain parameters to be predicted. In uncertainty quantification (UQ), research has demonstrated that even a small variation in uncertain input quantities (UIQs) may lead to a wide dispersion in the system response quantities (SRQs). In this paper, a bi-level hybrid UQ analysis of a fatigue problem is presented based on the S-N curve approach. The uncertain fatigue analysis presented is able to deal simultaneously with aleatory- and epistemic-type uncertainties in two levels (a SRQ in the first level is a UIQ in the second level). To this end, the proposed scheme is tested for an AISI 4130 clamped beam subjected to a concentrated load, which material information comes from experiments reported in the literature. The UIQs are geometrical parameters, material properties, loading magnitude, and stress, while the SRQs are the stress (which is also a UIQ for fatigue life) and fatigue life. The results evidenced that the uncertain fatigue analysis, instead of providing a unique value for a SRQ, now produces a possible range of values. Therefore, depending on the risk an engineer can take on a design, there will be a corresponding level of optimization achieved.

Published: December 2020

Friction stir welding (FSW) is an extremely complex process because it depends on the intrinsic and extrinsic factors of the material under consideration. The purpose of the present work is to formulate a set of recommendations concerning the choice of the different factors that are likely to influence the quality of the FSW joint and to find a mathematical model that allows predicting the mechanical behavior of the junction. An experimental design was therefore used to highlight the effect of the welding parameters on the behavior of the aluminum alloy  FS-Welded joint. The most influential parameters were shown to be in the order of rotational speed, feed rate and tool tilt angle. The study of the interactions between these different parameters made it possible to establish a number of combinations of the different factors for the purpose of achieving the quality optimization of the FSW joint by obtaining a tensile strength of the weld joint equal to  of that of the base metal.

Authors: Jinlong Pan , Guanhua Li , Cai Jingming
Published: December 2020

In this paper, the finite element (FE) method was used to investigate the axial compressive behaviors of circular and square concrete filled aluminum tubes (CFAT). Firstly, the simulational results were compared with the experimental results and the accuracy of the proposed FE model was verified. On this basis, the FE model was further applied to compare the mechanical properties of both circular and square CFATs under axial compression. It was found that the circular CFATs have a better effect on restraining the core concrete than square CFATs. The parametric analysis was also conducted based on the proposed FE model. It was noticed that the mechanical differences of the two kinds of CFATs gradually decreased with the increase of the aluminum ratio, aluminum strength and concrete strength.

Authors: Koca Hasan , Koç Mevlüt
Published: December 2020

Objective: Increased T wave peak and end distance (Tpe interval) shows abnormal spread in ventricular repolarization, it is associated with increased risk of ventricular arrhythmia and poor prognosis. However, Tpe interval, corrected Tpe (Tpe-c) upper limit value, and normal reference interval have not been reported in healthy population. In our study, it was aimed to determine the normal reference range of Tpe and Tpe-c interval in healthy population.

Materials and Methods: 414 healthcare professionals who had no complaints were included in the study. Tpe and Tpe-c measurements of all patients were performed on 12-lead electrocardiography taken at rest. Average and standard deviation, median, minimum, maximum, 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) values of these parameters were obtained.

Results: According to the data obtained in our study; Tpe mean and standard deviation, median, minimum, and maximum values were found to be 70.3 ± 12.3 ms, 70 ms, 50 ms and 100 ms, respectively. The 95% CI value of the Tpe interval was detected as 50-90 ms. Tpe-c mean and standard deviation, median, minimum, and maximum values were found to be 76.1 ± 14.6 ms, 75 ms, 48 ms and 128 ms, respectively. The 95% CI of the Tpe-c interval was detected as 53-100 ms. It was determined that Tpe and Tpe-c intervals were not affected by demographic and clinical parameters.

Conclusion: As a result of our study, it was determined that the upper limit of Tpe and Tpe-c interval values in adult, not-elderly and healthy normal population were 90 ms and 100 ms, respectively. It was thought that this information could be used for prolonged Tpe interval, which shows an increased risk of arrhythmia in daily practice. However, it was concluded that studies should be done in other communities and races on this subject as well.

Results: The results showed that 100% of the villages of the rural district were in unsustainable or semi-sustainable states. Among the internal components, social justice and quality of life, respectively, had the greatest effect on social sustainability. Examining the external factors showed that the centrality of the settlement service and proximity to urban areas had a positive effect on the social sustainability of the investigated villages. Furthermore, out-immigration had the highest negative effect on the social sustainability of the villages. Conclusion: This research re-emphasizes the importance of intra-generational justice based on social and spatial justice. Merely in the shadow of reducing social and regional inequalities and equitable distribution of development opportunities, the social sustainability of rural communities can be materialized.

Dear readers, students, fellow scholars,welcome to this ninth instalment of Mutual Images.
Say goodbye to 2020, say goodbye my baby
This issue is a peculiar one, for three reasons. The first: it is the second and last of 2020, and we know how difficult a year this has been. When you will read these lines, it will most likely be 2021 already, and even though some most relevant improvements in our lives may be still yet to come — such as being vaccinated, travelling freely, jumping into the caressing sea waters, and storing inside a drawer all the unused masks, hopefully forever — at least we will have this nasty creature, 2020, behind us. The double-twenties has been a difficult object to handle also for Mutual Images, both the association and the journal. We had to [...]
Bachelor Japanists: Japanese Aesthetics and Western Masculinities – Christopher REED
Authors: Miller Tyrus
Published: December 2020

Bachelor Japanists offers readers an engaging and richly narrated look at Western “Japanism” of the 19th and 20th century—scholarly, collectionist, and creative engagements with Japanese culture, religion, art, and aesthetics—which, Christopher Reed argues, Western individuals and coteries used to construct queer “bachelor” identities, both male and female, eschewing marriage and evading the domestic norms of their day. The term bachelor, Reed underscores, is not [...]
Japanese Princesses in Chicago
Authors: Yamagata-Montoya Aurore
Published: December 2020

In December 1871, the Iwakura Mission was sent by the Meiji government to the US and Europe. One of the aims of the mission was the observation of foreign practices and technologies. If Japan wanted to suppress the Unequal Treaties and be considered a “first rank nation”, it had to adopt the “civilized” manners and rules of North America and Europe (Nish, 1998). Five Japanese girls, aged six to sixteen accompanied the Mission to be educated in the US for a ten-year period. Their presence didn’t go unnoticed by the American Press, and the articles reporting on their stay provided an opportunity to bring up broader themes on Japanese women and Japan.
The five girls were the first women to officially represent Japan in the US. Identified by the American media as “Japanese Princesses”, their reception was confronted with the American image and understanding of Japan. This article analyses the representations of the five girls, and of Japanese women in general, in the San Francisco Chronicle and the Chicago Tribune during the two months that the Iwakura Mission travelled eastward from San Francisco to Washington, via Chicago. I identify and analyse the recurring tropes: the girls’ social position, the craze they created among the Americans, their beauty, the exoticism of their kimono, the education they will receive in America. The newspapers’ representation of the girls are full of inaccuracies and mistakes, myths and exoticism. Nonetheless, the representations are overwhelmingly positive and the girls – as well as the whole of the Mission’s members – are warmly welcomed by the American press.

Kepemimpinan universiti yang baik dapat merencanakan perjalanan program pendidikan tinggi yang berdaya saing dan penghasilan siswa-siswi yang dapat menyumbang secara positif kepada pembangunan negara. Pelbagai perbincangan ilmiah telah dizahirkan untuk menekankan peri pentingnya kaedah mengurus dan mentadbir sesebuah universiti dengan kaedah kepemimpinan yang mapan dan tepat. Ini bagi memastikan hala tuju universiti sentiasa selaras dengan aspirasi dan kehendak para pemegang taruhnya. Program kepemimpinan berasaskan qalb merupakan salah satu program latihan kepemimpinan akademik yang telah dikendalikan oleh Akademi Kepimpinan Pengajian Tinggi (AKEPT) sejak tahun 2016 sehinggalah ke hari ini. Dalam program latihan kepemimpinan akademik ini, modul yang digunakan mengetengahkan konsep empat sifat mulia yang utama (four cardinal virtues) iaitu: hikmah, adil, berani dan kawalan diri, yang merupakan antara kebijaksanaan klasik mengenai pembentukan sifat-sifat peribadi yang mulia. Makalah ini akan menjelaskan pandangan dan huraian daripada al-Ghazali (450-505H / 1058-1111M) mengenai perkara ini melalui metode analisis teks ke atas Iḥyā’ cUlūm al-Dīn (1982) menerusi Kitāb Riyāḍah al-Nafs wa Tahdhīb al-Akhlāq wa Mucālajāt Amrāḍ al-Qalb. Kaedah penyelidikan kuantitatif digunakan dalam makalah ini untuk mengenal pasti perbincangan-perbincangan utama berkenaan empat sifat yang mulia ini dan bagaimana penghayatan kepada perkara ini berupaya melahirkan pemimpin yang berkaliber dan mempunyai ciri-ciri kepemimpinan yang cemerlang. Konsep dan amalan latihan jiwa (Riyāḍah al-Nafs) yang dianjurkan oleh al-Ghazali amat sesuai diaplikasikan dalam latihan kepemimpinan akademik universiti kerana menekankan pembentukan individu yang baik sebagai asas utama kepada pembentukan masyarakat yang bestari, berintegriti dan berbudaya tinggi.

Published: December 2020

Este artigo foi elaborado para apresentar parte dos resultados de uma pesquisa para a conclusão do curso de mestrado profissional em Gestão de Áreas Protegidas na Amazônia, desenvolvido no Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazônia (INPA). O objetivo foi analisar os desafios e os progressos na gestão dos Termos de Compromisso (TC) n. 119/2011, 120/2011 e 121/2011, firmados em 20 de dezembro de 2011 entre o Instituto Chico Mendes de Conservação da Biodiversidade (ICMBio) e as associações representativas dos coletores tradicionais de castanha-do-brasil (Bertholletia excelsa H. B. K). Esses povos tradicionais residem no interior e no entorno da Reserva Biológica do Rio Trombetas (Rebio do Rio Trombetas) e praticam o trabalho de coleta e comercialização desse produto dentro dos limites da Rebio e das áreas a montante dessa Unidade de Conservação (UC). Trata-se de um estudo de caso de caráter exploratório, realizado entre os anos de 2018 e 2019. Os dados primários foram levantados por meio de técnicas de observação, pesquisa documental e entrevistas semiestruturadas realizadas junto aos coletores tradicionais de castanha-do-brasil. Os secundários, por sua vez, foram obtidos por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica e documental. A pesquisa revelou que os TC implantados na Rebio do Rio Trombetas constituem progressos na gestão dos conflitos territoriais nessa UC. Contudo, ainda há muitos conflitos pelo uso dos recursos naturais na UC em questão, uma vez que o trabalho de coleta da castanha-do-brasil é sazonal, ocorrendo apenas no período de fevereiro a maio. Assim, os quilombolas também reivindicam o uso de outros produtos florestais não madeiros.

Authors: Simon Alba Valeria Santos , Silva Isabel Caetano
Published: December 2020

O presente artigo tem como objetivo fazer uma reflexão sobre os conflitos evidenciados no processo de implantação de uma trilha de longo curso, situad na cidade do Rio de Janeiro. Dos seus 180 km de extensão, cerc de 60 km da Trilha Transcarioca cruzam o Parque Estadual da Pedra Branca, palco de conflitos evidenciados pela sobreposição do território de três comunidades quilombolas. O artigo visa contribuir com o debate sobre modelos conservcionistas cuja lógica de institucionalização territorial e usufruto público evidencia conflitos frente a outras lógicas de apropriação e concepções de uso coletivo de territórios tradicionais, indicando que estas não impedem e podem contribuir com a integridade da biodiversidade, quando essas práticas são incluídas no processo decisório através de mecanismos participativos, integradores e reconhecidos como legítimos.

People who live in Indonesia's border area have conflict potential due to its condition that lagging in development, low level of welfare and human resources, and the access that is far from the central government. Therefore, this study outlines and develops the concept of civic education that aims to create ‘smart’ and ‘good’ citizens to create peace. Communities are based on local wisdom that is distinctive in society, especially communities who live in border areas. This study presents qualitative data from field research in the Indonesia-Malaysia border in Central Sebatik District, Nunukan Regency, North Kalimantan Province, which has polarization between different ethnic groups, religions, and citizenship. The results show that people who live in villages with different ethnicities, religions, and nationalities were able to live side by side peacefully. Those ethnic groups and religions are Bugis, Muslim, Timorese, Catholic, and Malaysian Bajau,  which originated from religious values and tribal values that were believed can be developed in the Community Civic Education and has the potential to present defense resources at the border area.
