MODERN MYTH AS A MEANS OF CONSTRUCTING REALITY
Authors: Tikhonova Valentina Lvovna
Published: November 2018

The myth in the modern sociocultural space bears an important cultural and social burden, has many forms and manifestations and is used by modern man consciously and with specific goals. The influence of mythology on modern society is ambiguous. An example is the illusory picture of the world produced by Russian television series intended for a female audience. The low quality of these products and the unified standard of the plot based on the archetypical images of the characters, are capable of playing on the psyche of viewers susceptible to the offered illusions, on the one hand, comforting, on the other - leading away from real life. The fact of the existence of myth in the modern cultural space, its relevance in the world of social relations proves the reality of the existence and functioning of mythological thinking.

Authors: Nevdasheva Darya Mikhailovna , Artemieva Natalia Nickolaevna
Published: November 2018

In the course of studying the process of rectification of liquefied gases, there was considered the issue of increasing the efficiency of mass transfer between the liquid and vapor phases. The modernization of the tray rectification column is proposed, and its choice is justified. The introduction of new technical solutions will reduce the cost of resources for the production of the distillation column, which reduces economic costs and increases the efficiency of the output of rectification products of liquefied hydrocarbon gases. The main advantage of that is a very high heat transfer during combustion. In this case, heat exchange is higher than that of liquid hydrocarbons and natural gas. Therefore, when burning the same amount of fuel, the greatest amount of thermal energy will be obtained from liquefied gas.

Authors: Marysheva Marina Aleksandrovna , Shishkin Nickolai Dmitrievich
Published: November 2018

The article describes advantages of a thermal hydrocyclone designed to eliminate the drawbacks of the known industrial oil dewaxers. The thermal hydrocyclone allows not only to remove paraffin from oil, but also to receive a commodity paraffin product. The tested thermal hydrocyclone determined the coefficients of local resistance, the settling factor, and the deposition rate of solid paraffin particles. The speed is 15.1-19.8 times higher than in the case of gravity settling and reaches 24.2-31.7 mm/s. The diameter of precipitating paraffin particles is 0.705-0.807 mm. Specific productivity of TH sharply decreases over time from 0.275 kg/(c·m2) to 0.040 kg/(c·m2). The hydraulic model of paraffin particles deposition in the centrifugal field makes it possible to estimate the efficiency of the hydrocyclon operation quite accurately. The average operating efficiency of the apparatus during the process is 36%, which practically coincides with the experimental value of 38% obtained on the basis of material and thermal balances. The main parameters of industrial oil dewaxing plants based on thermal hydrocyclone have been evaluated. With the height of the apparatus equal to 1.0 m and a diameter of 0.5 m, the oil productivity will be 64.8 t/h, with paraffin 1.9 t/h. The apparatus can be used in many fields with asphalt-bitumen-paraffin content of 6-10% or more.

Authors: Alsaid Mazen  , Salamekh Ali
Published: November 2018

In the last decades there is increasing the need to apply polymer composite materials in different industries, particularly in shipbuilding. There are developing single structures made from polymer composite materials to be used on board ships. The article focuses on technology of manufacturing slabs from polymer composite materials to carry out mechanical testing in the laboratory special standard units. Mechanical properties of polymer composite materials depend on molding technologies. There has been described a technology of sample manufacturing from polymer composite materials reinforced with glass fiber mat with fiberglass plastics. The technique of testing the specified samples for tensile strength has been considered. The sizes and shapes of the samples as well as the technological parameters of the manufacturing process have been validated, depending on the standard requirements and the technological features of the testing machine. The physical and mechanical properties of the components that make up the composite materials are considered. The sequence of stacking layers for preparation of plates from composite materials is indicated. The dimensions of the plates for cutting out finished samples are determined, depending on the method of production. The way of laying plates from composite materials has been chosen on the base of economic considerations and conditions of accessibility. The obtained results of mechanical properties can be used in solving problems of application of polymer composite materials in shipbuilding, for example, in manufacturing superstructures of some dry cargo vessels.
CHARACTERISTICS OF HEAT TRANSFER IN FIRE TUBE OF MARINE GAS TURBINE ENGINE IN STARTING MODE
Authors: Volodin Yuri Gorjanovich , Matveev Yury Ivanovich , Khramov Mikhail Yurievich
Published: November 2018

The paper presents the results of experimental studies of heat transfer in a cylindrical tube, which is a simulation model of a fire tube. The experiments were performed on a gas-dynamic pipe of open type. The starting mode during operation of the gas turbine engine is one of the main modes in which failures sometimes occur. The failure may occur due to external heat transfer mode, when the thermal parameters of the gas flow exceed the calculated values and there takes place intense local heating of the streamlined surface of the structural element(s) of the engine. Experimental studies were carried out at different intensity of the increasing temperature of the working fluid, which allowed to fix the phenomenon of laminarization of the thermal turbulent boundary layer at the heat flow directed from the gas flow to the channel wall. In the event of laminarization phenomenon, the values of local heat transfer coefficients are reduced by 2.5-3 times. Since the discovery of this phenomenon, it has also been observed in various situations of accelerating the gas flow and even at high degrees of heating of the cylindrical pipe wall under stationary flow conditions. This phenomenon has been recorded for the first time in the non-stationary mode and the specified direction of the heat flow. The temperature head or temperature factor is proposed as a laminarization parameter of a turbulent boundary layer, and the boundary of the laminarization area of a turbulent boundary layer is Δ T ≥ 700 K.

Authors: Mustafa Kamil M. , Ewadh Mufeed J. , Al-Shuhaib Mohammed Baqur S. , Hasan Hamid G.
Published: November 2018

This study was conducted to describe the role of the chloroplast maturase K (matK) genetic polymorphism in the reciprocal crossing between five barley varieties using several in vitro / in silico tools. Besides, the final consequences of the matK gene polymorphism on its protein structure, function, and interactions were predicted computationally. Five parental varieties were crossed to each other by full reciprocal crossing design, DNA was extracted from seeds and two different primers’ pairs were designed to scan matK gene. Then, polymerase chain reaction - single-stranded conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) were performed. Two distinct haplotypes in both parents and artificial F1 hybrids in the matK gene were observed in both amplified fragments. This finding indicated that the studied gene had no participation in the reciprocal crossing performed. Three SNPs were identified; two of them are non-synonymous (nsSNPs), namely G387V and L459M. The effect of these missense mutations on the matK protein was analyzed by several in silico tools. It was shown that the coding SNP, L459M was predicted to have much more effective consequences on matK protein structure and function. While the I-Mutant 2.0 prediction tool showed a decrease in stability for these two nsSNPs, which may destabilize the protein interactions to some extent. In conclusion, though the observed missense mutations in the matK gene have no suggestive role in the reciprocally crossed barley varieties, they caused dramatic alterations in several matK protein moieties, which may lead to potential subsequent changes in the matK protein-mediated RNA splicing mechanisms.
The Effect of Different Tillage Methods on Erosion
Authors: Vach Milan , Hlisnikovský Lukáš , Javůrek Miloslav
Published: November 2018

During the years 2012‒2016 at the site threatened by erosion, the effect of different intensity and depth of soil tillage on the progression of erosion were evaluated on the plots with silage maize. Three different tillage methods were compared and evaluated - conventional tillage, including ploughing (CT), no-tillage using mulch and direct drilling (NT), and minimum tillage treatment with a lower depth of soil cultivation and organic matter incorporation (MT). Water and soil runoff on all of the experimental plots were measured during erosion events. Besides an analysis of naturally occurring rainfall causing erosions, we also conducted the test of soil infiltration abilities with a rain simulator after silage maize harvest. The effect of the tillage on aboveground biomass yield and the input costs was also analyzed. The results showed that NT and MT can significantly reduce water and soil runoff comparing CT. The highest yields were recorded in MT, while the lowest were in CT. Total input costs were higher in the case of NT and MT, but the share of mechanized work was lower for these technologies. Our results showed that NT and MT technologies, as a part of silage maize with a higher plant density stand establishment, should be a useable erosion control measure in areas vulnerable to erosion.

Authors: Šoltysová Božena , Hecl Ján , Kováč Ladislav , Danilovič Martin
Published: November 2018

Three plots in Dry Polder Beša in Slovakia (E) and 3 plots in no flooded area (R) were chosen to assess the Cd, Pb and Ni contamination in the soil by using geo-accumulation index (Igeo) and anthropogenic contribution rate (ACR). Heavy metals content was measured at three depths (0‒0.2 m, 0.2‒0.4 m and 0.4‒0.6 m). It was found that the average content of Pb was 1.4 times higher and content of Ni 2.3 times higher at experimental area than at reference area. The average content of Cd were on the same level (E - 0.040 mg/kg, R - 0.041 mg/kg). The variability of heavy metals content in the soil was significantly influenced by soil depth and sampling plot and concentrations significantly correlated with soil organic carbon content (r - in the range of 0.41 to 0.65, p < 0.05). Geo-accumulation index indicates that the soils in the all of studied plots were polluted with respect to Ni, while were unpolluted with respect to Cd and Pb. Cd and Pb occurrence in these soils may be associated to the geochemical weathering. The value of the ACR indicate that anthropogenic input of Ni was 1.331 times higher in flooded area than in reference no flooded area. Different soil types can be arranged in descending Igeo values for Ni as follows: Luvisols ˃ Regosols ˃ Gleysols ˃ Chernozems. It was found that the content of Ni and Pb exceeded the critical values, in relation to transfer of contaminants from the soil to the plant , only at flooded area.

Published: November 2018

We study the linear stability of the immiscible displacement of some fluids in 2D and 3D Hele-Shaw cell. We give a method for avoiding the singularities phenomenons which appears in previous papers. In the case of a non - Newtonian fluid displaced by air in a 3D Hele-Shaw cell, we give a growth constant σ of perturbations, which contains two new terms compared with the Saffman-Taylor formula. Our σ has a very high growth as a parameter appearing in the constitutive relations approaches a critical value.
Dampening of neurotransmitter action: molecular similarity within the melatonin structure
Authors: Williams Wynford R.
Published: November 2018

Objectives. Melatonin initiates physiologic and therapeutic responses in various tissues through binding to poorly defined MT receptors regulated by G-proteins and purine nucleotides. Melatonin’s interaction with other G-protein regulated receptors, including those of serotonin, is unclear. This study explores the potential for the interaction of melatonin with nucleotide and receptor ligand structures. Methods. The study uses a computational program to investigate relative molecular similarity by the comparative superimposition and quantitative fitting of molecular structures to adenine and guanine nucleotide templates. Results. A minimum energy melatonin conformer replicates the nucleotide fits of ligand structures that regulate Gαi and Gαq proteins via serotonin, dopamine, opioid, α-adrenoceptor, and muscarinic receptor classes. The same conformer also replicates the nucleotide fits of ligand structures regulating K+ and Ca2+ ion channels. The acyl-methoxy distance within the melatonin conformer matches a carbonyl-hydroxyl distance in guanine nucleotide. Conclusion. Molecular similarity within the melatonin and ligand structures relates to the established effects of melatonin on cell receptors regulated by purine nucleotides in cell signal transduction processes. Pharmacologic receptor promiscuity may contribute to the widespread effects of melatonin.

Bank akan dapat mengambil keputusan untuk pertimbangan penerbitan kartu kredit dengan mencocokkan nasabah baru kedalam cluster-cluster yang telah dibentuk dan mengetahui kelayakan nasabah untuk diberikan akses kartu kredit dalam melakukan transaksi. K-Means adalah salah satu metode populer yang digunakan untuk clustering. Tetapi, metode K-Means tidak dapat memberikan solusi optimum karena keterbatasannya dalam penentuan titik centroid yang optimal, sehingga untuk memperbaiki metode K-Means dalam penelitian ini digunakan salah satu algoritma evolusi yaitu Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) untuk generate titik centroid optimum yang digunakan dalam proses perhitungan K-Means. Hasil pengujian dilakukan dengan membandingkan nilai Silhouette Coefficient dari cluster yang dibentuk menggunakan K-Means murni dan Improved K-Means dengan PSO yang menghasilkan nilai masing–masing yaitu 0,3312 dan 0,3730.

 

Abstract

Credit card is one form of media for customers to credit in a transaction process that has been approved by the bank concerned. Banks should be selective in analyzing customers who want to apply for credit card issuance to avoid bad debts that can cause losses to banks, so it is very important to know the characteristics of customers by clustering. The Bank will be able to take decisions for credit card issuance by matching new customers into the established clusters and knowing the eligibility of customers to be granted credit card access in making transactions. K-Means is a popular method that is applied in the clustering process. However, the K-Means method can not provide the optimum solution because of its limitation in determining the optimal centroid point, so to improve the K-Means method in this research is used one of the evolution algorithm namely Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) to generate optimum centroid point used in k-means calculation process. The test results were performed by comparing the coefficient silhouette values of the clusters formed using pure K-Means and Improved K-Means with PSO which yielded respective values of  0,31614 and 0,39484, respectively.

Motivasi merupakan hal yang penting dalam memelihara dan mengembangkan sumber daya manusia melalui pendidikan”(Moh. Surya , 2004:63). Untuk menumbuhkan motivasi tidaklah mudah karena motivasi itu tumbuh dari individu itu sendiri. Apalagi motivasi untuk beprestasi, yang tentunya ini merupakan hal yang penting bagi para mahasiswa. Akan tetapi pada kenyataannya motivasi berprestasi mahasiswa Pendidikan Ekonomi masih rendah, hal ini dilihat dari masih banyak mahasiswa yang terlambat datang ke kampus, mahasiswa yang bolos tidak mengikuti kuliah, mahasiswa yang mencontek ketika ujian, mahasiswa yang tidak mengerjakan tugas, mahasiswa yang tidur dikelas, dan mahasiswa yang ramai saat mengikuti perkuliahan. Ada beberapa faktor yang mempengaruhi motivasi berprestasi, salah satunya adalah konsep diri dan efikasi diri.Beranjak dari paparan latar belakang penelitian, maka permasalahan dalam penelitian ini dapat dirumuskan sebagai berikut: 1) Adakah pengaruh konsep diri terhadap motivasi berprestasi mahasiswa PE FKIP UNIKU? 2) Adakah pengaruh efikasi diri terhadap motivasi berprestasi mahasiswa PE FKIP UNIKU?Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kuantitatif, metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode explanasi. Populasi penelitian sebesar 334 orang. Penentuan sampel mengikuti pada perhitungan rumus Slovin, maka diperoleh sampel sebanyak 182 orang. Validitas instrumen untuk variabel X1, X2 dan variabel Y diuji dengan menggunakan korelasi product moment angka kasar, sedangkan reliabilitas dengan menggunakan Spearman Brown dan Program SPSS 16 For Windows.Hasil perhitungan koefisien determinasi sebesar 24,3%, artinya motivasi berprestasi dipengaruhi oleh konsep diri dan sisanya 75,7% di jelaskan oleh faktor lain yang tidak diuji dalam penelitian ini. Sedangkan efikasi diri mempengaruhi motivasi berprestasi sebesar 26,8% , sedangkan sisanya 73,2 % ditentukan oleh faktor lain yang tidak diteliti.Pihak lembaga (kampus) khususnya para dosen harus lebih inten memberikan dorongan-dorongan kepada mahasiswa agar mereka giat dalam belajar bila perlu adanya program pemberian reward kepada mahasiswa berprestasi tentu bisa meningkatkan motivasi belajar mahasiswa. Selain itu salah satu cara untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan dan keterampilan mahasiswa pihak lembaga bisa menyelenggarakan diklat-diklat atau workshop untuk para mahasiwa sesuai dengan program studi yang mereka pilih. Hal lainnya yaitu dengan mengarahkan mereka untuk mengikuti kegiatan kemahasiswaan seperti ikutserta dalam organisasi mahasiswa (HIMA,BEM,BLM) dan Unit kerja mahasiswa (KOPMA, MENWA, PRAMUKA, dan lain-lain). Ini dimaksudkan agar waktu luang yang mereka miliki terisi dengan kegiatan-kegiatan positif dan tentu tidak lepas dari proses pembelajaran.
PENGARUH PENERAPAN METODE PEMBELAJARAN PROBLEM SOLVING TERHADAP HASIL BELAJAR MATA PELAJARAN AKUNTANSI KELAS XI IPS SMA NEGERI 1 GARAWANGI (Pada Materi Ayat Jurnal Penyesuaian)

Kegiatan belajar mengajar disekolah merupakan salah satu wujud dari pendidikan. Belajar merupakan suatu usaha yang menghasilkan perubahan tingkah laku kearah yang lebih baik  sebagai hasil belajar atau prestasi belajar.  Dimana hasil belajar yang dicapai oleh siswa merupakan suatu alat yang digunakan untuk mengukur sejauh mana siswa menguasai materi yang diajarkan oleh guru, dan dapat mencapai tujuan pembelajaran yang telah ditetapkan. Tujuan pembelajaran dikatakan berhasil apabila siswa mampu mencapai standar kompetensi yang telah ditetapkan. Oleh karena itu seorang guru harus dapat memilih metode pembelajaran yang akan digunakannya. Pemilihan metode pembelajaran harus mengacu pada keadaan dan kemampuan siswa agar metode pembelajaran yang digunakan dapat membantu siswa dalam memahami materi yang diajarkan, sehingga tujuan pembelajaran dapat tercapai.Metode pembelajaran Problem Solving (pemecahan masalah) merupakan suatu pendekatan pembelajaran dimana siswa mengerjakan suatu permasalahan dengan maksud untuk menyusun pengetahuan mereka sendiri, mengembangkan keterampilan berpikir tingkat lebih tinggi, mengembangkan kemandirian dan percaya diri. Metode ini cocok diterapkan pada mata pelajaran akuntansi,karena mata pelajaran ini menuntut siswa untuk dapat memiliki keterampilan dalam melakukan pencatatan seperti pencatatan kedalam jurnal, membuat kertas kerja dan sebagainya, yang mana keterampilan tersebut dapat dilatih setahap demi setahap.
PENGARUH PENGGUNAAN METODE PROJECT BASED LEARNING (PjBL) DAN PROBLEM BASED LEARNING (PBL) TERHADAP KEMAMPUAN BERPIKIR KRITIS MAHASISWA (Studi Eksperimen Pada Mata Kuliah Kewirausahaan Tingkat II Tahun Akademik 2014/2015 Program Studi Pendidikan Ekonomi FKIP Universitas Kuningan)

Masalah dalam penelitian ini adalah rendahnya kemampuan berpikir kritis mahasiswa pada mata kuliah kewirausahaan tingkat II di Program Studi Pendidikan Ekonomi FKIP Universitas Kuningan. Rendahnya kemampuan berpikir kritis tersebut ditunjukkan dengan masih banyaknya mahasiswa yang hanya menguasai salah satu aspek pembelajaran pada ruang lingkup kemampuan berpikir tingkat rendah yaitu berkisar pada aspek mengingat atau menghafal. Selain itu, makalah atau tugas-tugas yang dibuat mahasiswa kebanyakan hanya copy paste dari modul atau buku yang sudah ada dan jarang sekali menggambarkan hasil pemikiran mahasiswa sendiri sebagai indikator kemampuan mahasiswa dalam berpikir kritis. Kebanyakan mahasiswa juga masih merasa kesulitan mengaitkan konsep dengan kondisi yang ada di lingkungan nyata. Kondisi semacam ini terjadi akibat dari proses perkuliahan yang hanya berjalan satu arah. Dengan banyak permasalahan-permasalahan yang muncul, perlu adanya pembaharuan di lingkungan pendidikan yang mengarahkan pembelajaran agar mahasiswa memiliki kemampuan berpikir kritis.Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mendeskripsikan perbedaan kemampuan berpikir kritis mahasiswa pada pengukuran akhir (post-test), dan mendeskripsikan perbedaan peningkatan (gain) kemampuan berpikir kritis mahasiswa antara kelas eksperimen yang menggunakan metode PjBL dan kelas kontrol yang menggunakan metode PBL.Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tidak terdapat perbedaan pada� pretest antara kelas eksperimen yang menggunakan metode PjBL dengan kelas kontrol yang menggunakan metode PBL. Sedangkan setelah pembelajaran terdapat perbedaan hasil posttest kemampuan berpikir kritis mahasiswa antara kelas eksperimen dengan kelas kontrol. Adapun terdapat perbedaan peningkatan kemampuan berpikir kritis mahasiswa antara kelas eksperimen yang menggunakan metode PjBL dengan kelas kontrol yang menggunakan metode PBL dapat dilihat dari nilai gain kelas eksperimen sebesar 0,65 dan kelas kontrol sebesar 0,60. Dari bukti diatas, dapat disimpulkan bahwa kedua metode tersebut yaitu PjBL dan PBL dapat dijadikan sebagai salah satu alternatif bagi dosen untuk meningkatkan dan mengembangkan kemampuan berpikir kritis mahasiswa.

AbstrakPerubahan merupakan hal yang niscaya dalam kehidupan manusia. Demikian pula orientasi pendidikan yang semula bertumpu pada asumsi ilmu untuk ilmu mengalami perubahan menjadi ilmu untuk kemanfaatan hajat hidup orang banyak. Demikian pula secara kelembagaan, lembaga pendidikan ditagih oleh stakeholders tentang kiprah nyata mencerdaskan generasi bangsa dalam wujud melahirkan lulusan yang berkualitas secara akademis maupun yang anggun kepribadiannya. Salah satu butir evaluasi diri dan isian borang akreditasi ialah mengenai keberadaan lulusan setelah meninggalkan bangku kuliah. Fakultas keguruan dan ilmu pendidikan Universitas Kuningan telah meluluskan kurang lebih 800 orang yang terbagi dalam 3 angkatan yaitu angkatan tahun akademik 2012/2013 sampai 2014/2015. Namun keberadaan alumni setelah lulus belum dapat dipantau secara maksimal , baik mengenai masa tunggu lulusan sampai mendapatkan pekerjaan, kepuasaan stakeholders atas kinerja alumni, pengembangan wawasan kependidikan alumni, keterampilan keguruan alumni, maupun kepuasan alumni atas layanan pendidikan yang diberikan Fakultas keguruan dan ilmu pendidikan Universitas Kuningan selama mereka mengikuti pendidikan. Program Studi FKIP sebaiknya melakukan studi banding ke perguruan tinggi lain agar diperoleh masukan dan informasi dalam rangka peningkatan kualitas program studi. Selain itu juga perlu dilakukan pengamatan dan seminar dengan mengundang� para �ahli �kurikulum �sehingga �mata �kuliah �yang� diberikan �pada mahasiswa merupakan mata kuliah yang sesuai dengan keadaan dan kebutuhan di lapangan. Oleh karena itu perlu perbaikan kurikulum dengan porsi pembelajaran praktik lebih banyak ketimbang pembelajaran teori
