Exploring playfulness in paediatric music therapy using an action research approach
Authors:   , Austin Rachel Alison
Published: December 2021

Playfulness is a disposition which promotes adaptability across the lifespan. Attuned co-playfulness is a therapeutic tool requiring self-awareness of the disposition by the therapist. As a music therapy student working on a paediatric ward in a therapeutic play environment, the intersection of music therapy, therapeutic play and playfulness inspired this research. Specific research on playfulness in music therapy is limited. This research investigated playfulness in music therapy practice: how and when playfulness manifested in interpersonal interaction, both within and without music, to foster the therapeutic process. Using an interpretivist, qualitative methodology and an action research approach, three cycles of action research were completed. Cycle one examined how playfulness was evidenced in my practice. Playfulness was evident when I was childlike, free from rules, the music therapy had elements of incongruence, I used humour or experienced joy. Playfulness was most evident with children up to five years of age. Cycle two explored playfulness in music therapy with children in middle childhood. Themes from this cycle included giving children time to warm up, using humour and primarily, collaboration. Cycle three explored the context for playfulness. Playfulness was most evident when music therapy occurred in the playroom or at bedside, without interruption. Playfulness was more evident with a supportive family member present and when there was some familiarity between music therapy student and patient. Confidence levels, health status and responses to the hospital environment impacted on playfulness for both patients and the music therapy student. Playfulness was shown to be a marker of health and wellbeing for the music therapy student. Experiencing a lack of playfulness was a potential indicator of secondary traumatic stress and the need for increased self-care. Exhibiting a lack of playfulness was an appropriate clinical strategy which enabled affective state attunement with participants, supporting the intersubjective therapeutic process. This research raises the relevance of playfulness as a viable therapeutic marker in music therapy for children and adolescents, and as an indicator of wellbeing for music therapists. The findings are specific to this research setting and period and are not generalizable.
The Synthesis of Carbohydrate Probes for the Diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis
Authors:   , Santoso Kristiana
Published: December 2021

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a neurologically debilitating disease which typically affects people in the age bracket of 27-40 years old. Currently, little is known about the mechanism of the disease, which is partly due to the lack of a reliable diagnostic test. There are two common ways of diagnosing MS, neither of which are specific to MS. One is the detection of IgG antibodies in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), a painful and invasive test, and the other involves obtaining MRIs of the brain to locate and monitor plaques in brain, which can be expensive and harmful. Early detection of the disease could not only lead to better symptom management, but would also allow for better monitoring of disease progress and, accordingly, lead to a better understanding of MS pathology. To this end, a reliable and non-invasive diagnostic test for the early detection of MS is required.  In 2006, it was reported that antibodies against α-Glc and α-Glc(α-1,4)Glc were found at elevated levels in the sera of MS patients when compared to healthy patients’ sera, and it has been proposed that the presence of these two carbohydrates in patient serum might serve as a way to detect the onset and prognosis of MS. Accordingly, this Masters project sought to explore this hypothesis via the synthesis of α-Glc and α-Glc(α-1,4)Glc, both glycosides and glycodendrons, which could then be used to potentially detect MS-specific antibodies in sera. To this end, both glycans were prepared and coupled to biotin, ready to be used to bind streptavidin-coated enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) plates. An ELISA protocol is to be established by the optimisation of the negative control in order to test such glycans against plasma samples. In the hope to achieve a multivalent system, a dendrimeric scaffold was also prepared that can be used to prepare larger glycan structures for the immunodiffusion assay. Ultimately, this could lead to a new diagnostic test for MS.
Antimicrobial and genetic strategies to defend kiwifruit against the bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pathovar actinidiae (Psa)
Authors:   , Storey Mathew Ambrose
Published: December 2021

A highly virulent strain of the bacterium Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae (Psa-V), the causative agent of bacterial canker of kiwifruit, is threatening the $1.5 billion New Zealand kiwifruit industry. A strain of Psa-V was first identified in Italy in 2008 and related strain with a similar level of virulence arrived in New Zealand in November 2010. Since then it has been spreading rapidly throughout the country with devastating effects. Currently there is no effective treatment for growers to control Psa-V in their orchards and the potential impact of Psa-V on the New Zealand kiwifruit industry and growers is catastrophic. As part of a collaboration between Seeka Kiwifruit Industries, EastPack NZ, and a group of scientists nationwide (Taskforce Green) this work designed and implemented laboratory tests to quantify the effect of candidate antimicrobial sprays. Novel formulations with strong antimicrobial properties, including silver nanoparticles were also tested. This work was complemented by an investigation into the antibiotic resistance potential of Psa-V. A spontaneous streptomycin resistant mutant of Psa-V was generated and the molecular mechanism of resistance was elucidated. Further, gene knockout strategies aimed at facilitating the study of Psa-V virulence genes and ultimately developing a potential biocontrol agent were tested. Overall, this work together with several recent advances in the field should help advise the kiwifruit industry on best practice around the use of anti-Psa-V agents, and may make it possible to facilitate the generation and testing of candidate biocontrol agents in the near future.
A reflection on a bone tissue engineering design and commercialisation project
Authors:   , Sobiecki Thomas
Published: December 2021

A commercialisation project centred round a material called synthetic nacre was undertaken as a team as part of the 2014 Masters of Advanced Technology Enterprise (MATE) programme. There were multiple goals of: examining the individual role within the group,from an engineering discipline (mechatronics), and what it means for building successful teams; finding and developing the material for a market application, in this case the niche of biodegradable osteoconductive load bearing biomaterials for orthopaedic implants; and reflecting on the personal contribution to the commercialisation process and how successful it was.

The role of an engineer to solve problems was proposed and found to be partially true in this case; additionally a secondary role in communicating technical information coherently was also apparent and important to the enterprise development. An adaptive biomaterial design concept and specification for the target application was formed using the literature and extrapolating where there was no resolution or gaps in the research. The influence of mechatronics has been established on the decision making process and direction of the commercialisation project. The design process was incomplete and therefore the enterprise develop was unsuccessful as it has not been validated by going through a full design, test, evaluate cycle. The goals of the course environment and the team building approach further reinforces this belief.
Using UAV imagery to perform fine-scale mapping of wetland vegetation
Authors:   , Hipgrave Patrick
Published: December 2021

Differentiating between species of plants in aerial imagery is often challenging and, in some cases, can be impossible without significant field data collection. However, remote sensing technology is developing to the point where it is increasingly possible to eliminate the need for extensive fieldwork entirely and conduct non-disruptive monitoring of fragile environments. The increasing availability of UAV platforms with integrated high-resolution cameras and low-cost image processing software is also making remote sensing operations accessible to those outside the scientific community with an interest in environmental monitoring. This project trialled an emerging set of image analysis techniques called ‘object-based image analysis’ to create fine scale maps of a recovering wetland area, based on aerial photographs collected using a consumer-grade UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle). The effects of including additional ancillary data (such as digital surface models (DSMs) and multispectral imagery) in the classification process were also assessed to compare the ability of a standard digital camera to produce high-accuracy classifications to that of a more specialised multispectral sensor. The inclusion of this extra information was found to significantly improve classification accuracy in almost all cases, making a strong argument for the inclusion of ancillary data whenever possible, especially when considering the ease with which ancillary datasets can be produced. The high-resolution (between 2 and 4cm/pixel) imagery provided sufficient detail to observe 28 distinct land cover classes in total, with around 20 classes per image. While the number of classes in the classification scheme may have imposed limits on the overall accuracy of the classified maps, several classes were classified with a high (70% or greater) level of accuracy, including two invasive species, showing that the object-based school of image classification has potential to be a powerful tool for detecting and tracking individual vegetation types.
Illumination Space: A Feature Space for Radiance Maps
Authors:   , Chalmers Andrew
Published: December 2021

From red sunsets to blue skies, the natural world contains breathtaking scenery with complex lighting which many computer graphics applications strive to emulate. Achieving such realism is a computationally challenging task and requires proficiency with rendering software. To aid in this process, radiance maps (RM) are a convenient storage structure for representing the real-world. In this form, it can be used to realistically illuminate synthetic objects or for backdrop replacement in chroma key compositing. An artist can also freely change a RM to another that better matches their desired lighting or background conditions. This motivates the need for a large collection of RMs such that an artist has a range of environmental conditions to choose from. Due to the practicality of RMs, databases of RMs have continually grown since its inception. However, a comprehensive collection of RMs is not useful without a method for searching through the collection.  This thesis defines a semantic feature space that allows an artist to interactively browse through databases of RMs, with applications for both lighting and backdrop replacement in mind. The set of features are automatically extracted from the RMs in an offline pre-processing step, and are queried in real-time for browsing. Illumination features are defined to concisely describe lighting properties of a RM, allowing an artist to find a RM to illuminate their target scene. Texture features are used to describe visual elements of a RM, allowing an artist to search the database for reflective or backdrop properties for their target scene. A combination of the two sets of features allows an artist to search for RMs with desirable illumination effects which match the background environment.
Premature Personhoods In A Neonatal Intensive Care Unit In Aotearoa New Zealand
Authors:   , Poppelwell Zoe
Published: December 2021

The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) provides medical care for some of the most unwell newborns, including those born premature. Infants born prior to 28 completed weeks gestation, classified as extremely premature, often require long admissions and close management. These infants, and those who care for them, occupy a unique position of flux. The extremely premature body is not only a locus for clinical dialogue on the reach of biomedicine, but also for wider debates over the personhood of those born at the edge of viability. This thesis is an ethnographic account of some of the ways in which neonatal personhood was strategically articulated in the NICU at various points of the infant’s stay. These articulations, neither contingent nor dependent on the infant’s clinical position, illustrate a multiplicity of relational personhoods that exist alongside, and sometimes at tension with, individualised dynamics of care and emotion between infants, parents, and staff. I conducted over one year of ethnographic fieldwork, including six months of intensive participant observation at a single urban unit, and over 50 ethnographic interviews across New Zealand with a variety of individuals, such as NICU parents and staff. A portion of this thesis is also comprised of autoethnographic vignettes that account for my own neonatal journey and position in the field.
Peri-Fusion: An integrated agriculture and densified housing model for New Zealand’s peri-urban zones.
Authors:   , Morris Sarah
Published: December 2021

Peri-Fusion housing is an integrated densified housing and agricultural model, that this thesis proposes as an alternative to the current problematic suburban model prevalent in New Zealand’s peri-urban zones. Suburban sprawl driven by the single storey housing model, New Zealander’s desire towards standalone housing, and the loss of fertile agricultural land are all driving issues behind this proposed PeriFusion housing. This research defines the periurban zones as areas of unknown development surrounding New Zealand’s towns and cities, addressing the increasing rigid, concreteclad, urban perimeter invading further into agricultural fertile land. Peri Fusion design strategies are established to test and develop a new integrated housing model, aiming to achieve attractive densified living, that is integrated with preserved agricultural land. This proposed housing development model could achieve a resilient flexible system of land use, where housing is integrated into a natural agricultural and horticultural resource cycle. This thesis includes typological research and a design-led research methodology. Literature and case studies were reviewed initially to define common traits of successful low-rise high-density housing, spatial agricultural landscaping typologies, agricultural integration and agricultural ownership. From these reviews, Peri-Fusion design tactics were derived to form a basis for testing in the design-led research methodological step. These tactics included the adaptive iterations and application of the ha-ha wall as an agricultural boundary, layered pathways between humans, vehicles and animals, and level change within landscapes. Alongside these main strategies, the integrated operational model was addressed, which included extensive grazing, intensive horticulture dedicated to housing and the inclusion of agricultural education. Also, a basic circular natural resource model was developed to address the operation of water, waste and food production management. In order to measure the success of PeriFusion tactics, Blenheim was established as a case study site for the design-led research. Conceptual and developed design was undertaken, which was reviewed against the Peri-Fusion framework, resulting in a final proposed integrated and densified housing model for the Blenheim case study site. Findings were then tested against the adjacent plot to the site with the same site coverage. This successfully revealed an increase of 131 housing units, decreased average gross floor area from 175m2 to 80.5m2, and an increase of unsealed preserved fertile land by 20%. This resulted in 38% of final model dedicated to agricultural and horticultural food production.
Applications of digital baseflow separation techniques for model validation, Wairarapa valley, New Zealand
Authors:   , Everitt Lucas
Published: December 2021

The representation of groundwater processes in hydrological models is crucial, as the connectivity between groundwater and surface water is significant. It is particularly important for regions such as the Wairarapa that experience high water stresses. Intensified agriculture has increased demand for irrigation, which can lead to depletion and degradation of reservoirs. This study compared observed streamflow records to TopNet-0 and TopNet-GW model outputs at points along the Mangatarere stream, a sub-catchment in the Wairarapa valley, New Zealand. Model performance was assessed using a suite of quantitative and qualitative comparisons. This analysis aimed to assess the similarities and differences between observed flow and the model outputs with respect to their model structures. Baseflow estimates from recursive digital filters were also compared at these sites to assess the groundwater representation of the models. The investigation can be considered representative of the wider Ruamahanga catchment, as the geology and hydrology in the region is relatively analogous. Flow infilling and baseflow separation was undertaken at 13 Wairarapa flow gauges to provide considerations to the model outputs. Options investigated for flow infilling included a straight infill or calculation of the flow difference at each point. Potential multipliers included a long-term or a monthly option. The difference infill, coupled with the long-term multiplier, was found to be the optimum method. Independent baseflow estimates included a Q90/Q50 flow duration curve index and indices generated from the Eckhardt and Bump & Rise recursive digital filters. The two digital filters produced similar statistics but were found to employ uncertain parameters that significantly affect outputs. TopNet-GW benefitted from up-to-date calibrations and as such produced generally excellent simulations in comparison to observed streamflow. With the addition of the deep groundwater conceptual reservoir in the structure of the model, simulated flow baseflow index estimates and graphical assessment of flow recession curves indicate TopNet-GW reproduces groundwater processes well despite potential over-representation of baseflow at the expense of high flow periods during peak flows. These findings highlight the importance of combining subsurface and surface flow dynamics to resolve water management issues and improve model performance at the catchment scale.
Sea Summation : How Waterfront Urbanisation can use Hydrological Strategies While Facilitating For Climate Change
Authors:   , Sahib Zarah
Published: December 2021

Urban inclination has unfavourably allowed for urban development throughout New Zealand to be found either along once naturally ecologically established and natural defensive coastal shorelines, waterfronts or along reclaimed shores to be developed on top of. Through reclamation, it has shown fundamentals of how we want to live closer to the water’s edge, however in this process the lack of social and ecological space is diminishing and being catalyst residential and high end luxury private space (Dianne Menzez). Urban inclination should propose that urban waterfronts become multifunctional and facilitate towards a great public space. However with a deep attachment for the water’s edge, we orientate living ourselves towards the water which also shows an interesting argument between the city and coast relationship that also comes with increasing climate change conditions.   Climate change has been under extensive focus for frequent years, conditions of notably large New Zealand urban sites remain under threat of infringing sea level rise and storm events which are in need for proper systematic infrastructure for this adaption purpose. With significant numbers of infrastructural systems situated in close proximity to waterfront environments, the rising numbers of communities orientated towards this face vulnerability to such global issues. In events of future sea level rise, increasing flooding will definitely impact the prone waterfronts Wellington City is one of New Zealand’s most vulnerable sites to sea level rise due to its proximity to coastal edges. Its low lying surface and unsustainable infrastructure and design promotes flooding through deficient water networks.   This thesis identifies the Wellington’s post-industrial site; Centerport with proposals for intended residential development. There is however a great level of susceptibility the site does not meet needs for protection from arising climate conditions, and its current poor social relation to the wider waterfront, which this thesis intends to investigate and resolve.   Centerport remains vulnerable to being a crucial domain for connectivity to the harbor edge and coastal hazard impact compared to other waterfronts. Through the means of researching adaptive water technological systems, this thesis hopes it will provide and conceptualise an impact within private and public communities through addressing coastal resilience, waterfront resilience and provide permeable adaptive waterfront design for the arising climate conditions.
Poems in Interreligious Dialogue: Searching for God in the Poetry of Ku Sang and Thomas Merton
Authors:   , Scaccia Michael
Published: December 2021

Twentieth-century poets Ku Sang and Thomas Merton, two Catholic poets from Korea and America, respectively, were both aware of a space between themselves and God. Their poetry reveals attempts to go and find him. Because their searches for God entailed an interreligious nexus, insofar as their poetry blended Buddhist and Christian religious imagery, I utilise a comparative method, drawn from the field of Comparative Theology, which juxtaposes religious texts from differing faith traditions; I place Zen Buddhist kōans side-by-side with the Christian poems, each poem understood as representing a way to seek God. Moreover, I provide close readings of each poem and kōan, with critical commentary on the poems and interpretation of any new meaning revealed by the juxtaposition of texts. As a result of my examination, I propose that exploration of how these poets expressed their own understanding of God’s whereabouts, achieved by contact with poetic experience at the naked level of the poem, yields insight both into the two men’s unique contributions to broader knowledge of poets searching for God and how they were transformed for the sake of searching at all.
'The Powerful Ones': Exploring Young Men’s Understandings of Sexual Violence and Rape Culture in Aotearoa New Zealand
Authors:   , Lawrence Jahla
Published: December 2021

The centralising of women within institutional responses to sexual violence (Ministry of Justice, 2019) and sexual violence scholarship (Fanslow & Robinson, 2004a, 2011; Fanslow, Robinson, Crengle, & Perese, 2010; Gavey, 1991; Jordan, 2004, 2008) consequently means that despite men being both the primary perpetrators of sexual violence, and whose privileged identities create and maintain rape culture, men often remain invisible within sexual violence discourse. To gain insight into how young men understand sexual violence, rape culture, and their own identity within these structures, this research involved (n=11) qualitative semi-structured interviews with cisgender men aged between 18-30 who identified as heterosexual. These interviews highlighted the complexities of participant’s comprehension of sexual violence, particularly regarding the typology and motivations of offenders, the relationship between gender, alcohol, power and consent, and the various perceived causes of sexual violence. Participants also signalled the importance of comprehensive consent and sex education as a method of sexual violence prevention. This research is essential to responsibilise sexual violence prevention as the obligation of men, effectively inform prevention, intervention and response measures, and work towards ultimately eradicating sexual violence and the wider rape culture in Aotearoa New Zealand.

Evaluación del sellado apical de Bioroot RCS, Tubliseal y Top Seal: estudio in vitro
Authors: Sacoto Fernanda
Published: December 2021

En endodoncia, la fase de obturación radicular tiene como objetivo el sellado hermético del sistema de conductos radiculares, para conseguir esto se utilizan diversos materiales de obturación y selladores. Los selladores biocerámicos han estado disponible para su uso en endodoncia durante los últimos 30 años, tomando relevancia actualmente con el aumento del uso de la tecnología en el campo biocerámico. Este sellador ha sido ampliamente investigado por sus propiedades biocompatibles, registrándose escasa información sobre su capacidad de sellado apical. Por esta razón nuestro estudio evaluó esta característica midiendo el grado de filtración apical utilizando azul de metileno. Para ello se seleccionaron 80 dientes humanos extraídos con conducto único, se decoronaron y los conductos fueron preparados quimiomecanicamente con el sistema rotatorio Protaper Next hasta calibre X3. Previo a la obturación las muestras se dividieron en 4 grupos aleatoriamente: 1) Tubliseal, 2) Topseal, 3) BioRoot RCSy 4) Control positivo sin sellador. Se procedió a obturar con la técnica de cono único y los selladores respectivos excepto el grupo control. Las muestras se sumergieron en una solución de azul de metileno por 24 horas, se lavaron en agua corriente y se realizó la diafanización.Las muestras diafanizadas se observaron con estereoscopio y se midió la penetración linealdel colorante en micrones.
THE QUESTION OF FEMALE BODY IN ARCHITECTURAL THEORY IN THE LATE 20TH CENTURY
Authors:   State The Research Institute of Theory and History of Fine Arts of the Russian Academy of arts, Petrushikhina Svetlana V. ,   Lomonosov Moscow State University
Published: December 2021

This article is devoted to the phenomenon of female body in the foreign theory of architecture in the 1980‑s–90‑s. The works of D. Agrest, E. Grosz, D. Bloomer and D. Fausch are examined in the present paper. There are two perspectives on the problem of female corporeality: poststructuralist and phenomenological. Jennifer Bloomer and Diane Agrest adopt a poststructuralist critical strategy in which the notion of the feminine is considered as the “Other” of the logocentric architectural discourse. Elisabeth Gross notes that women have always been displaced from the realm of architecture. This is indicated not only by the absence of female architects, but also by the fact that the inherent attributes of female corporeality have been completely disregarded. Diane Agrest suggests that these attributes were appropriated by male architects. The phenomenological perspective on the female corporeality is reflected in Deborah Fausch's concept of “feminist architecture”. “Feminist architecture” brings back the value of concrete, sensual bodily experience in the perception of architecture. The subject's perceptual experience through the body allows the semantic dimension to unfold in the building.
THE FORMULA “GOVERNMENT OF TRUST” IN THE PERCEPTIONS OF THE PUBLIC. FROM THE HISTORY OF POLITICAL CONCEPTS ON THE EVE OF 1917
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Astashov Aleksandr B.
Published: December 2021

The article, based on archival materials, deals with the transformation of the power formula in Russia during World War I from the “government of trust” to the “government responsible to the people”. The evolution of that political strategy is analyzed in relation to the objective requirements for all warring countries to a new type of war, which were the national unity, including the widest strata of the population, and the national economy regulation, limiting market mechanisms and leading to the transition of the economy to the rails of comprehensive regulation right up to planning. The article focuses on the specifics in the formation of representation for public and democratic elements in the public organizations of All-Russian unions of zemstvos ( system of local administration) and cities, which provided support for the change of the formula of power depending on the socio-political processes during the war. The author comes to the conclusion that in the Russia conditions it occurred within the framework of the change of the power formula: from the “trust government”, responsible to the “Progressive bloc” of the census State Duma (1915), to the concept of the government responsible to the bloc of census public elements within the “trust government before the country” (1915–1916) and then under the pressure of a broad bloc of democratic public elements in the city and the countryside involved in the organization of the country for defense and of the national economy to the formula of “government responsible to the people” (1916 – early 1917).

Biologically Inspired Design: A Case Study on Furniture Design Experiences of Interior Architecture Students
Authors: ELİBOL Gülçin Cankız , DÜNDAR TÜRKKAN Vildan , BEZCİ İsmail
Published: December 2021

This study represents the furniture design course outputs of a group of Interior Architecture and Environmental Design Bachelor’s Degree students, working on biologically inspired designs. The aim of the study is to put forward an alternative inspiration-transformation-design process by briefly touching the notion of biomimicry; and by this means to raise the awareness of biological inspiration sources in furniture design. Study reveals the conceptual and final product design suggestions of 38 senior class students. Two essential processes were followed in the study; solution-driven design process and problem-driven design process. Findings showed that there have been some common features and differences between these two processes, in terms of finding the starting point and approaching the final design decisions. In both processes, it was seen that the last steps -principle application- involved a particular process, compared to the other steps in each process. Research and analysis based actions, seen in initial steps, gave place to sketching, design development and the usage of professional notions in the final steps. It can also be said that in both processes, the first steps involved the preparation stages regarding the design inputs, whereas in final steps a transform of information regarding the design output can be observed. These two linear processes were thought to be connected with two essential methods; inductive method and deductive method. Within this scope, 38 design ideas were put forward and suggestions were made regarding the processes.

Published: December 2021

Meeting the DHW (domestic hot water) requirement and the energy used for DHW has an important share in the energy sector today. Air-source heat pumps, one of the systems used to meet this requirement, can also be supported by various renewable energy sources. In such hybrid systems, it is extremely important to model the system and validate this model, since the tests in laboratory conditions are quite difficult. In this study, a system was established for the experimental validation of air source heat pumps used to meet the domestic hot water demand, and the same system was modelled using TRNSYS software to validate the system. The developed model is capable of being supported by renewable energy sources and is a guide for such studies. The heat pump capacity used in the study is a 8 kW, and the experimental tests were carried out for temperatures between 0°C and 15°C. In this study, domestic hot water was continuously heated through a tank and its temperature was increased from 30°C to 45°C. For air source heat pumps, a model with the highest average percentage deviation of 3.5% was developed and validated with experimental data. The developed model is designed to be supported by renewable energy sources, and it is a source study for such hybrid models.
Regression Modeling of the Effect of Chip Slenderness Ratio and Cutting Parameters on Vibration
Authors: ADIYAMAN Oktay
Published: December 2021

Chip slenderness ratio, which is defined as the ratio of depth of cut to feed rate in turning processes, is an subject that has been studied. For this reason, the chip slenderness ratio should be examined from different aspects. In this paper, different cutting parameters (feed rate, depth of cut) were selected together with chip slenderness ratio by using tools with three different tool approach angles as 15, 30 and 45 degree in turning AISI 1050 steel. As a result, a regression model was created to determine the effect of feed rate, depth of cut, tool approach angle and chip slenderness ratio on vibration in all three directions. In all experimental studies, depth of cut and feed rate were selected as cutting parameters. 5 different chip slenderness ratio were created (1, 3, 5, 10 and 15) and the vibrations in the turning were measured in three directions (X, Y, Z). Depending on the vibration, regression models were created in all three directions for the chip slenderness ratio and cutting parameters. The SPSS V24 program was used for regression models and statistical analysis. In the regression models, it was seen that the greatest effect in all three directions (X, Y and Z) was the feed rate, depth of cut and tool approach angle, respectively, and a significant model could not be created regarding the chip slenderness ratio. In addition, it was determined that the greatest vibration values occurred in the direction of feed rate (Y direction). In cases where chip slenderness ratio is 1 and 10, minimum vibration values were measured in all directions (X, Y and Z) and tool approach angles. When the tool approach angle is 30 degree, the most stable vibration values were occurred.

Published: December 2021

In this study, a human-computer interface was created in C# so that individuals with physical mobility disabilities such as ALS can express their wishes. In this system created, pupil movements were analyzed and the patient's wishes were expressed both visually and audibly. In the system created for the tracking of the pupil, the face of the patient, which was detected by the camera, was detected autonomously by the system. An adaptive IR LED light source has been designed to illuminate the eye area of the user. Pupil motion detection was performed with the developed image processing algorithms. According to the movements of the detected pupil, commands were created on the user interface to express the wishes of the patient by using the location information of the patient. An application study was carried out by creating the prototype of the controlled patient bed with a 3D printer. At the end of this study, pupil motion detection was carried out using a camera without any contact with the user. With the algorithm created for pupil motion detection, it is ensured that the patient can express his wishes without the need for any movement other than eye movement. With this study, a uniquely developed algorithm that can be used in pupil tracking systems of individuals with physical movement disabilities such as ALS has been acquired.

Published: December 2021

In order to characterize the actual electrical behavior of photovoltaic cells and photovoltaic modules, it is required to construct the equivalent circuit models effectively, and to identify the unknown model parameters properly. This improves the design, control and performance of photovoltaic systems. In this study, African vultures optimization was applied to solve the parameter extraction problem encountered in single diode- and double diode-based photovoltaic cell modeling and single diode-based photovoltaic module modeling. African vultures optimization algorithm efficiently balances the optimization process by using two different strategies in the exploration phase and four different strategies in the exploitation phase. The root mean squared error between simulated and measured output current was computed to evaluate the parameter extraction performance. In addition, the obtained results were compared with different parameter extraction methods commonly-used in the literature. It has been shown that the African vultures optimization algorithm is a stable and reliable technique for the extraction of photovoltaic cell and module parameters.

The emerging of shuffle model has attracted considerable attention of scientists owing to his unique properties in solving the privacy problems in federated learning, specifically the trade off problem between privacy and utility in central and local model. Where, the central model relies on a trusted server which collects users’ raw data and then perturbs it. While in the local model all users perturb their data locally then they send their perturbed data to server. Both models have pron and con. The server in central model enjoys with high accuracy but the users suffer from insufficient privacy in contrast, the local model which provides sufficient privacy at users’ side but the server suffers from limited accuracy. Shuffle model has advanced property of hide position of input messages by perturbing it with perturbation π. Therefore, the scientists considered on adding shuffle model between users and servers to make the server untrusted where the users communicate with the server through the shuffle and boosting the privacy by adding perturbation π for users’ messages without increasing the noise level. Consequently, the usage of modified technique differential privacy federated learning with shuffle model will explores the gap between privacy and accuracy in both models. So this new model attracted many researchers in recent work. In this review, we initiate the analytic learning of a shuffled model for distributed differentially private mechanisms. We focused on the role of shuffle model for solving the problem between privacy and accuracy by summarizing the recent researches about shuffle model and its practical results. Furthermore, we present two types of shuffle, single shuffle and m shuffles with the statistical analysis for each one in boosting the privacy amplification of users with the same level of accuracy by reasoning the practical results of recent papers.
Deformation of casing strings as a result of technogenic deformation processes during oil and gas field development. Part 2. Features of the development of axial loads on casing strings in directional wells
Authors: Tupysev M.K.
Published: December 2021

The paper shows the development of technogenic axial loads acting on the column of casing pipes during the construction of directional wells. Axial loads depend on the angle of inclination of the wellbore trajectory and its length in the productive deposit, as well as from the timing of the input of the inclined-directed section of the trunk from the beginning of the development of the field.

Rekonstruksi Peran Perpustakaan dan Intervensi Pustakawan kepada Pemustaka
Authors: Rahman Saleh Abdul
Published: December 2021

Pendahuluan. Dalam era teknologi informasi yang kemudian melahirkan teknologi disruptive perpustakaan menghadapi tantangan yang sangat berat. Banyak unit-unit usaha yang akhirnya gulung tikar atau setidaknya mengurangi karyawannya akibat teknologi disruptive ini. Sebagian pekerjaan mereka sudah digantikan oleh mesin atau robot. Perpustakaan harus “menciptakan” layanan-layanan baru agar tidak termakan oleh teknologi ini. Sebagian kerja perpustakaan sudah diambil alih oleh mesin, seperti transaksi peminjaman bahan perpustakaan pada perpustakaan konvensional dan bahkan perpustakaan digital saat ini sudah mulai beroperasi. Dengan perpustakaan digital maka pemustaka memang tidak perlu lagi mendatangi secara fisik perpustakaan sebab semua layanannya sudah dapat dilakukan melalui gawai. Kajian ini merupakan kajian literatur yang membahas tingkatan layanan atau mediasi menurut Kuhlthau untuk pemenuhan kebutuhan informasi pemustaka

Metode dan Pengumpulan Data. Literatur dikumpulkan dari akses ke internet dan koleksi cetak perpustakaan.

Analisis Data. Dari literatur yang dikumpulkan dibuatkan catatan poin penting yang kemudian dianalisis secara deskriptif.

Hasil dan Pembahasan. Kuhlthau memperkenalkan layanan informasi yang disebutnya sebagai intervensi kepada pemustaka. Menurut Kuhlthau ada dua layanan perpustakaan dasar di mana pustakawan profesional terlibat dalam intervensi tersebut yaitu referensi dan instruksi bibliografi. Layanan referensi adalah mediasi kepada pemustaka untuk membantu lokasi dan penggunaan sumber dan informasi. Mediasi seperti ini bisa mediasi sederhana, tetapi juga bisa mediasi yang panjang yang melibatkan proses pencarian informasi yang rumit dan sangat panjang. Konsep zona intervensi ditentukan oleh sifat masalah pemustaka dan tahapan proses pemustaka mengarah pada identifikasi tingkat mediasi dan pendidikan. Menurut Kuhlthau ada lima level mediasi yaitu: organizer (pengatur), locator (pencari lokasi), identifier (pengidentifikasi), advisor (penasihat), dan counselor (konselor). Jika pemustaka bisa bekerja sendiri dalam mencari informasi maka pustakawan tidak perlu melakukan intervensi untuk memediasi pemustaka tersebut. Namun jika pemustaka tidak mampu melakukan pencarian sendiri maka kehadiran pustakawan untuk mengintervensi yaitu memediasi pemustaka sangat diperlukan

Kesimpulan. Ada lima level mediasi menurut Kuhlthau yaitu: organizer (pengatur), locator (pencari lokasi), identifier (pengidentifikasi), advisor (penasihat), dan counselor (konselor).
