Optimasi Ukuran Lot Persediaan dalam Model Integrasi Single Vendor dan Single Buyer dengan Mempertimbangkan Kekurangan Buyer
Authors: Rahma Alifia Shafira , Dahda Said Salim
Published: October 2024

The supply chain is the main factor influencing the production process in achieving goals. This research develops a model to determine the optimal production lot size in the supply chain system between vendors and buyers by considering the inventory shortage at the buyer. Minimizing the combined inventory cost is the goal of optimizing the production lot size by developing an integration model to determine the optimal lot size. The proposed model uses a periodic delivery method from the vendor to the buyer and allows for inventory shortages at the buyer. An iterative algorithm is applied to find the optimal lot size and minimum integrated inventory cost. The results showed that the initial model with n=1 resulted in a total cost of 2252 and an optimal production size (Q*) of 457. The proposed model reduces the total cost to 1605 with an optimal production size (Q*) of 737. Sensitivity analysis showed that an increase in the frequency of deliveries to vendors and vendor set-up costs contributed to a rise in total cost, while an increase in vendor storage costs led to a decrease in production lot size. This research can improve the efficiency of production planning and inventory management in the supply chain.

Lviv’s Cinemas During World War II
Authors: Dębski Andrzej , Korneluk Paulina
Published: October 2024

The article discusses the functioning of cinemas in Lviv during World War II, with a focus on the years 1941-1944. The Nazi authorities introduced a division of Lviv cinemas into those for Germans, Poles, and Ukrainians. These three cinema categories therefore attracted different audiences (in terms of nationality), towards which the occupying authorities pursued separate repertoire policies. The article will analyse the nationality-oriented film policies of the Nazi authorities towards these three groups and their film preferences. The period of Soviet occupation (1939-1941) will also be addressed, albeit not in detail. By taking it into account, it will be possible to highlight some differences in the approach of the Soviet and German occupiers to film policy in Lviv. This research would not have been effective without the use of quantitative methods to compare large sets of repertoire data.

The status of artificial wetland areas in light of climate change using Geospatial systems: Case study Ain Zada Lake (Algeria)
Authors: Bensefia Sofiane , Khoudour Djamel , Belayadi Amna , Lounis Semara
Published: October 2024

Climate patterns in North Africa, specifically the southern Mediterranean, have changed considerably due to global climate change. As a result, a major environmental problem has emerged: the deterioration of wetlands and associated ecosystems, which are protected under the Ramsar Convention. This study examines the state of an artificial wetland, notably the reservoir formed by the Ain Zada Dam in northeastern Algeria, from 2001 to 2021. RS, GIS, and GEE were used to analyse indices and satellite images. The study found that the reservoir’s water storage decreased significantly, from 10.5 million m3 in 2001 to 2.4 million m3 in 2021. This finding is entirely consistent with the NDWI index, which was generated from an analysis of 151 satellite images. The drop in water storage has had an extensive effect on the reservoir’s ecosystem. That decline is linked to changes in the region’s environment over the last 40 years, which has been characterized by lower water levels and higher temperatures, providing additional evidence of global warming.
Possibilities of reconstruction and documentation of the relict border: the example of the Bohemian-Moravian land boundary
Authors: Marek Petr , Štampach Radim , Sviták Zbyněk , Jeřábek Milan
Published: October 2024

The article opens a discussion on the possibilities of reconstructing, documenting, and protecting relict peaceful borders, i.e., former administrative boundaries without defensive function in the past. Using the example of the Bohemian-Moravian historical land boundary (which, itself or in the form of its tangible relicts, can be seen as a heritage or monument with potential positive cultural, social, and economic benefits) the paper presents the advantages and disadvantages of the sources and methods of boundary reconstruction and boundary marks documentation. If field mapping is to reveal a maximum of preserved boundary marks (boundary stones, especially), the key is to use the most precise available surveying instruments with a thoroughly reconstructed relict boundary to the date of its last legal existence; otherwise, many boundary marks/stones may remain undiscovered, as shown by previous researchers’ documentations. However, the entire boundary reconstruction and mapping processes are very time-consuming, being the main disadvantage.
ACoRA – A Platform for Automating Code Review Tasks
Authors: Ochodek Mirosław , Staron Miroslaw
Published: October 2024

Background: Modern Code Reviews (MCR) are frequently adopted when assuring code and design quality in continuous integration and deployment projects. Although tiresome, they serve a secondary purpose of learning about the software product. Aim: Our objective is to design and evaluate a support tool to help software developers focus on the most important code fragments to review and provide them with suggestions on what should be reviewed in this code. Method: We used design science research to develop and evaluate a tool for automating code reviews by providing recommendations for code reviewers. The tool is based on Transformer-based machine learning models for natural language processing, applied to both programming language code (patch content) and the review comments. We evaluate both the ability of the language model to match similar lines and the ability to correctly indicate the nature of the potential problems encoded in a set of categories. We evaluated the tool on two open-source projects and one industry project. Results: The proposed tool was able to correctly annotate (only true positives) 35%–41% and partially correctly annotate 76%–84% of code fragments to be reviewed with labels corresponding to different aspects of code the reviewer should focus on. Conclusion: By comparing our study to similar solutions, we conclude that indicating lines to be reviewed and suggesting the nature of the potential problems in the code allows us to achieve higher accuracy than suggesting entire changes in the code considered in other studies. Also, we have found that the differences depend more on the consistency of commenting rather than on the ability of the model to find similar lines.

Published: October 2024

According to projections made by the Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI), by 2040 every region along Java's northern coast—from Banten to Surabaya and Iswara—will be an urban area vulnerable to water scarcity. As a result, more careful consideration is required. Since air is an endless supply, turning it into water is one way to address the clean water shortage. A good design's structure is one of its essential components. This is because the device's structure must sustain both the renewable energy source and the complete system. By utilizing ANSYS Workbench and theoretical calculations to analyze the maximum stress results, the research aims to ascertain whether the machine frame is safe for usage. In this investigation, the ANSYS 2021 R1 software was used to apply the finite element method to ASTM A36 material under vertical loading. The air-to-water converter mechanism is still safe after simulations were run on its shaft and frame. This is demonstrated by the biggest maximum stress on the shaft (6.2194 MPa) from the ANSYS numerical simulation and the largest maximum stress (0.349 MPa) on the frame, both of which are still below the allowable stress. Furthermore, a 0.9694 difference in safety factor was found between theoretical calculations and shaft simulation, and a 0.1573 difference was found for the frame. The safety factor acquired from the shaft was 1.6043, while the safety factor gained from the frame was 1.6073
Stabilizing Voltage and Managing Power Loss in Medium Voltage Distribution Systems Through Strategic Maneuvers

Published: October 2024

Repairs and maintenance on the electrical power system often require power outages. To ensure safety and security during maintenance, limiting the extent of these outages is essential. This study aims to analyze the impact of network maneuvers on voltage drop and power loss in feeders in Medan, Indonesia. The research involves simulating the feeder circuit under various maneuver scenarios using ETAP 19.0.1 software to analyze voltage drop and power loss in the 20 kV distribution network. The end voltage on the backup feeder decreased from 20.31 kV before maneuvering to 20.10 kV after maneuvering. Despite the maneuvers causing an increase in voltage drop from 0.724 kV (3.24%) to 1.080 kV (4.23%) and in active power losses from 152.59 kW (2.29%) to 226.92 kW (3.02%), both remained within the acceptable standard of 5%. To mitigate the voltage, drop, the study proposes uprating the conductor by replacing the existing AAAC conductor with an XLPE-insulated cable. This upgrade can increase the end voltage from 20.09 kV to 20.49 kV, thus improving the overall performance of the feeder during maintenance activities.
Two new species of Austrelatus diving beetles from continental Southeast Asia, linking the distribution area of the genus (Coleoptera: Dytiscidae: Copelatinae)
Authors: Hajek Jiri , Shaverdo Helena
Published: October 2024

Two new species of predominantly Australasian genus Austrelatus Shaverdo et al., 2023 are described and illustrated: Austrelatus mirai sp. nov. from Selangor State in Peninsular Malaysia is similar in habitus to the South Indian species A. boukali (Hendrich & Balke, 1998) and A. davidi (Wewalka, 2017); however, the shape of the male genitalia suggests that it is closely related to Austrelatus species from Kalimantan. Austrelatus riberai sp. nov. from Shan State in Myanmar is most similar to Sino-Japanese A. parallelus (Zimmermann, 1920). Findings of Austrelatus species in continental Southeast Asia fill the gap in the distribution area of the genus between India, China and Japan on one side, and the Sunda Islands on the other side.

O campo da Pedagogia: aspectos teóricos, formativos e profissionais
Authors: Ferreira Liliana Soares , Lima Severo José Leonardo Rolim de , Castaman Ana Sara , Lima João Francisco Lopes de
Published: October 2024

Este texto aborda o campo da Pedagogia em sua tripla constituição, como ciência, curso e profissão, articulando elementos crítico-propositivos em face da constatação da perda de status acadêmico desse campo e sua relação difusa com outros campos de conhecimento que empreendem análises sobre dimensões do fenômeno educativo. Reconhece-se a pertinência dessas reflexões no debate sobre os rumos do curso de Pedagogia no Brasil, em meio a um histórico de sucessivas políticas curriculares que lhe descaracterizam e a restringem à denominação de um curso de licenciatura. Para tanto, com base na análise documental e no estudo bibliográfico, a primeira parte do texto contempla considerações sobre as bases epistemológicas desse campo, enquanto a segunda e a terceira, respectivamente, se dedicam a problematizar as finalidades formativas do curso de Pedagogia e a condição profissional de pedagogas(os). Acredita-se na Pedagogia, como ciência da Educação, cujo objeto, o fenômeno educacional, demanda estudos aliando esta ciência com outras. Nessa perspectiva, potencializa-se o Curso e apresenta-se um caminho: centrá-lo na ciência, a Pedagogia, e, com base nela, abordar os múltiplos aspectos do fenômeno estudado. Assim constituída, a Pedagogia torna-se precisa, localizada espaço-temporalmente, e, por que não, referência para as demais licenciaturas.
Osmanlı Kanunlarında ve Mahkeme Kayıtlarında Çeyiz
Authors: Atasoy Abdussamed
Published: October 2024

Çeyiz; gelin için hazırlanan her türlü ev eşyası, kıyafet ve benzeri eşyalardan oluşmaktadır. Çeyiz konusunda klasik fıkıh kitaplarında önemli bilgiler yer almaktadır. Bununla beraber Osmanlı kanunnamelerinde ve mahkeme kayıtlarında da yer alan “Osmanlı hukukunda çeyiz” konusunda herhangi bir çalışmaya rastlamadık. Osmanlı Klasik dönemi kanunnamelerinde çeyize ilişkin olarak genellikle aynı maddenin benzer şekilleri yer almıştır. Tanzimat dönemi Osmanlı kanunnamelerinde yer alan çeyize ilişkin maddeler genellikle çeyizin israf ve evliliklerin önünde set olmasının engellenmesi amacına binaen çeyiz üst sınırını belirleme şeklinde meydana gelmiştir. Bunlara ek olarak “Hukuk-ı Aile Kararnamesinde” de çeyiz ile alakalı bir maddenin bulunması, ilgili konunun Osmanlı kanunnamelerinde düzenlendiğini göstermektedir. Çeyiz uygulamasının örf olarak İslam hukukunun etkin olduğu coğrafyalarda ve tabi olarak Osmanlı Devleti’nde yaygın olduğu ifade edilebilir. Bu örf aslen evlenecek olan kişilerin yuvasına yapılan yardım olması bakımından önem arz ederken zaman zaman evliliğin önünde engel olan bir âdete de dönüşebilmektedir. Osmanlı uygulamasında çeyizin evlenecek kişilere zarar vermesi, evliliklerin önünde engel haline gelmesi durumunda çeyizin kapsam ve miktarına kanunnamelerle sınırlamalar getirilmiştir. Bu sayede asıl olarak evlenecek kişiler açısından faydalı bir örf olan çeyizin bu kişilere zarar vermesinin önüne geçilmiştir. Osmanlı mahkeme kayıtları olan kadı sicillerinde çeyize ilişkin çok sayıda ihtilaf ve kayıt bulunmaktadır. Çeyize dair İstanbul, Konya ve Diyarbakır kadı sicilleri dikkate alınarak incelenmiş ve bu kayıtlar değerlendirilmiştir. İlgili mahkeme kayıtlarında hangi malların çeyiz olarak verildiği, çeyizin kimin malı olduğu, çeyizde kız ile baba arasında kız ile anne arasında meydana gelen ihtilaflar ve bu ihtilaflarda ispat usulü, çeyizde ibra ve sulh gibi konular hakkında bilgiler yer almaktadır. Başlık parası ve ağırlık gibi âdetlerin çeyizden farklı olduğuna ilişkin ve bunların hukuki durumu hakkında da kadı sicillerinde önemli bilgiler yer almaktadır. Müslümanlara ait bir uygulama olan çeyiz uygulamasının zaman zaman gayrimüslimler arasında da ihtilaf dolayısıyla mahkemeye taşınması bu örfün farklı dinlerden olan kişiler tarafından da kullanıldığını göstermektedir.

Published: October 2024

En esta investigación profundizaremos de manera tangible, el papel de la directora comisionada en el nivel preescolar ya que dicho cargo es crucial para el desarrollo y funcionamiento efectivo de las instituciones educativas de esta etapa. Esta figura desempeña múltiples roles, que van desde la administración y coordinación hasta el apoyo pedagógico y el liderazgo dentro del entorno preescolar. Sin embargo, esta práctica directiva enfrenta diversos desafíos y problemáticas que requieren atención y análisis. De esta manera la recopilación de información se obtiene desde la entrevista a una maestra comisionada a la dirección de un jardín de niños sin descarga de grupo. En primer lugar, la directora comisionada debe lidiar con la complejidad de gestionar recursos limitados, tanto humanos como materiales, para garantizar un ambiente educativo óptimo. Esto implica tomar decisiones estratégicas en cuanto a la distribución de presupuestos y la asignación de personal, a fin de satisfacer las necesidades de los estudiantes y cumplir con los objetivos educativos. Además, la directora comisionada se enfrenta a la tarea de liderar equipos de trabajo heterogéneos, compuestos por docentes con diferentes estilos de enseñanza, experiencias y formaciones. La coordinación de estos profesionales para asegurar la coherencia pedagógica y el trabajo en equipo puede resultar un desafío considerable. Otro aspecto relevante es la necesidad de establecer y mantener una comunicación efectiva con los padres y la comunidad educativa en general. La directora comisionada debe ser capaz de generar confianza y fomentar la participación de los padres en la educación de sus hijos, así como también gestionar situaciones conflictivas de manera constructiva. Además, en muchos contextos, enfrenta la presión de cumplir con estándares y políticas educativas establecidas a nivel nacional o local, lo que puede limitar su autonomía y creatividad en la toma de decisiones.

Published: October 2024

Background and objectives. Relapse is acknowledged as a substantial failure subsequent to orthodontic correction. Transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-β1) modulates osteoblastogenesis and stimulates β-catenin signaling. The purpose of this investigation was to assess the impact of nanoemulsion carbonate apatite (CHA) -statin on TGF-β1 levels in rats undergoing relapse. Materials and methods. A total of forty-eight rats (n = 48) were allocated into four distinct groups: control, CHA, statin, and CHA-statin. To apply 30g of mesial traction for seven days, a closed-coil spring was extended from the first maxillary molar on the right maxilla to the incisor. Seven days passed throughout that CHA hydrogel, statin and CHA-statin nano emulsion were administered every three days. Debonding the appliances subsequently permitted relapse. TGF-β1 levels were measured utilizing an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) on days 0, 1, 7, and 14 subsequent to debonding. An analysis was conducted on the collected data utilizing ANOVA and a Tukey's test (p <0.05). Results. On day seven of the relapse phase, the control group had the lowest average; the difference was significant (p <0.05), followed by Group CHA, Group St, and Group CHA-St. Average TGF-β1 levels between the groups did not differ statistically significantly (p >0.05) on days 0 and 1 of orthodontic relapse movement. Out of all the groups, the one that got CHA-statin nanoemulsion had the highest mean values. Significant mean differences (p <0.05) from the highest average of group CHA-St, group CHA, group St, and the control group were found on day 14. Conclusions. The findings suggested nanoemulsion CHA-statin may raise TGF-β1 levels during orthodontic relapse.
Influence of dental bleaching on the microhardness and flexural strength of resin composites
Authors:   Department of Conservative Dentistry, College of Dentistry, University of Mosul, Mosul, Iraq, Hassan Shaymaa S.
Published: October 2024

Purpose. This study aimed to examine the influence of dental bleaching systems (home bleaching system and two in-office bleaching systems) on the surface microhardness, and flexural strength of the two resin composite restorative materials (Beautifil II and OliREVO). Methods. For each test, a total of 48 samples were prepared with both types of composites. The samples of each type of composite were divided at random into four groups each of six samples, control group (C) was not bleached and kept in distilled water, other three groups (G1, G2, and G3) were bleached with 10% hydrogen peroxide (HP) home beaching, 35% and 40% HP in-office bleaching systems, respectively. To measure the composite resin's microhardness, a Vickers microhardness tester was used, while a universal testing machine was used to measure its flexural strength. Results. For statistical analysis, Duncan and ANOVA tests were used. A p-value ≤0.01 indicates statistically significant results. In-office bleaching systems (35% and 40% HP) significantly reduced microhardness and flexural strength of the used resin composites. Generally, the hardness and flexural strength of Beautifil II were better than OliREVO composite. Conclusion. Regarding the physical properties of composite resins, the microhardness and flexural strength may be compromised by bleaching treatments.

Authors: Danindya Tiara Alyska , Putranti Titi Muswati
Published: October 2024

This research analyzes best practice policy road pricing in overcoming the negative externalities caused by motorized vehicles in West Java. Negative externalities, such as traffic congestion and air pollution, are major challenges for urban areas in West Java. Through implementation policy studies on road pricing in Singapore and London, this research analyzes the effectiveness of these policies in reducing congestion and improving air quality. The research methods used include literature reviews, policy analysis, and in-depth interviews. The research results show that road pricing can be an effective tool in reducing congestion and air pollution, if there is collaboration with the transportation department, police, and raharja services, adequate technology, effective outreach, and integration with improved public transportation. This policy must be designed holistically by taking into account related opportunities and issues. The role of communication, transparency and an inclusive approach is very important in increasing public acceptance of this policy.

Introducción: Metaanálisis internacionales muestran que la cirugía laparoscópica presenta mejores resultados postoperatorios que la cirugía abierta en el manejo del cáncer de colon. La tendencia en Panamá es la transición a la cirugía laparoscópica; sin embargo, no existen estudios que comparen ambas técnicas quirúrgicas. Objetivo: Comparar los resultados postoperatorios de las colectomías electivas abiertas y laparoscópicas por cáncer de colon en el Complejo Hospitalario Dr. Arnulfo Arias Madrid, de enero de 2015 a diciembre de 2019. Metodología: Se realizó un estudio observacional, transversal, correlacional causal (analítico), retrospectivo mediante la revisión de expedientes clínicos de los pacientes operados de colectomías electivas abiertas y laparoscópicas por cáncer de colon en el Complejo Hospitalario Doctor Arnulfo Arias Madrid, de enero de 2015 a diciembre de 2019. Resultados: De 87 casos estudiados, 45 correspondían a cirugía abierta y 42 a cirugía laparoscópica. Encontramos que el abordaje abierto se asocia a una mayor mortalidad intrahospitalaria (χ² 4.951, p 0.026), mortalidad a los 30 días postoperatorios (χ² 6.014, p 0.014), íleo postoperatorio (χ² 5.803, p 0.015), fuga de anastomosis (χ² 12.833, p 0.0003) y dehiscencia de herida quirúrgica (χ² 7.105, p 0.007) que el laparoscópico. El riesgo relativo de infección con abordaje abierto es 8.9 veces mayor que con abordaje laparoscópico [RR = 8.865 (95% IC = 1.058 – 74.286) p=0.044].  Conclusiones: La epidemiología del cáncer colorrectal en nuestra institución se asemeja a la de la literatura mundial. Nuestros resultados incentivan a implementar la cirugía mínimamente invasiva para brindar mejores resultados.

Introducción: El carcinoma de células escamosas de cabeza y cuello, es una malignidad rara en la población pediátrica. Su incidencia ha ido en aumento en las últimas décadas y los principales factores de riesgo descritos son inmunosupresión y transmisión vertical del virus del papiloma humano (VPH). Presentación del caso: presentamos a un paciente masculino de 14 años con historia de 2 años de disfonía intermitente que luego progreso a estridor laríngeo por lo cual se le realizo traqueostomía con micro laringoscopia directa, donde se evidenció una lesión de aspecto verrucoso y bordes irregulares comprometiendo hemilaringe derecha y paralizándola. Se le toma biopsia y se reporta carcinoma de células escamosas moderadamente invasor (p16 positivo). Luego de evaluación multidisciplinaria, tratándose de una enfermedad localmente avanzada, se decide tratamiento con quimio radioterapia definitiva con intención de preservación orgánica. Conclusión: debido a lo poco común del cáncer de laringe en la población pediátrica y la poca evidencia que hay en cuanto a opciones de tratamiento, limita nuestro conocimiento de esta patología solo a reporte de casos y revisiones de la literatura. consideramos necesario realizar este reporte de caso para agregar información sobre esta patología poco común

Doğum Sonu Erken Dönemde Baba-Preterm Yenidoğan Bağlanmasının Önemi: Geleneksel Derleme
Authors: Gül Uğur , Efe Emine
Published: October 2024

Bu derlemenin ilk amacı, literatürde yer alan bağlanma kavramının tanımını hem ebeveyn tarafından hem bebek tarafından açıklığa kavuşturmaktır. Bir diğer amacı ise zamanından erken doğan bebeğe sahip babaların baba-preterm yenidoğan bağlanmasının önemini vurgulamaktır. Zamanından erken doğan pretermlerin hayatta kalabilmeleri için en iyi seçenek Yenidoğan Yoğun Bakım Ünitesi’nde yatmak olarak görülmektedir. Bu süreçte yoğun bakım kuralları nedeniyle babalar ikinci planda kalabilmekte ve bebeklerini oldukça sınırlı bir zaman diliminde görmektedirler. Bu nedenle babalar bebekleri ile yeterli zaman geçiremedikleri için yeterli etkileşime giremez ve baba-preterm yenidoğan bağlanması olumsuz etkilenebilir. Bu derlemede, baba-preterm yenidoğan bağlanmasını olumsuz etkileyen bazı önemli durumlar ele alınmakta ve güncel literatür doğrultusunda derlenmektedir. Yenidoğan Yoğun Bakım Ünitesi’nde görev yapan hemşirelerin/sağlık profesyonellerinin baba-preterm yenidoğan bağlanmasının klinik özelliklerini bilmesi ve bağlanma temelli hemşirelik uygulamalarında bulunması baba-preterm yenidoğan bağlanmasını güçlendirebilir. Preterm doğum nedeniyle Yenidoğan Yoğun Bakım Ünitesi’nde yatışa bağlı preterm preterm-anne-baba üçlüsünün doğum sonu erken dönemde bağlanmasının geliştirilmesi için güncel literatür doğrultusunda bağlanma temelli hemşirelik yaklaşımının önemi vurgulanmaktadır.
Prison as a Mirror: The Reflection of the Prison Concept & The Re-Evaluation of the Built Environment
Authors: Shamma-Inaam Naomi , Keynoush Shahin
Published: October 2024

Throughout history, the prison as a physical entity took different shapes, forms and morphs. However, the prison system was hardly ever proven effective and questions about its efficiency and objectives have been a subject of debate. This research suggests that “Prisons” do not only exist physically but also exist as a conceptual phenomenon. The concept of imprisonment was determined through studying distinctive legendary prisons while referring to written literature by Michel Foucault, Gaston Bachelard, and Edmund Bacon. A direct connection between imprisonment and the human detachment from “Nature and Life” was determined. Criteria of the concept of imprisonment were deduced in order to be able to distinguish the existence of the conceptual prison phenomenon from other heterotopic spaces. The research suggests that the concept of prison as a mirror is able to reflect the unspoken factors in the built environment which leads to the reevaluation of the current built environment in urban context. This research suggests the use of the prison criteria as a tool to read the built environment and develop the capability to avoid the phenomenon of imprisonment in urban context as well as individual spaces within the built environment.
Perancangan Tempat Penyimpanan WIP untuk Meminimasi Cacat Size Mismatching pada Kaus dengan Menggunakan Metode NIDA (Need, Ideas, Decision, Action) Pada PT Fluxdev Global Industry

Published: October 2024

A small and medium-sized company in the t-shirt manufacturing industry, PT Fluxdev Global Industry, is having trouble achieving its production goals. The primary issue is that the components of the socks that are made don't match in size. The fact that the chopped materials are not sorted by size is one of the contributing reasons, since it makes it challenging for the operator to determine the size of the materials to be processed. According to the Lean Six Sigma methodology, the company's process capability index (Cp) only reached 1.30 as a result of the inability to satisfy production targets. Even if the production method is very competent, more advancements are still required to increase this index in order to meet the company's goals.
In order to minimize product defects, the proposed improvement in this Final Project is to design a tool that can address these issues. The focus of this improvement is to avoid the accumulation of materials after cutting by separating the materials based on size. The design of the assistive device is carried out using the NIDA method. (Needs, Ideas, Decision, Action). The designed aid is a trolley with dividers to separate the sizes of garment components such as S, M, L, and XXXL. This trolley comes in two sizes, 100 x 71 cm and 110 x 71 cm, and is designed to facilitate operators in sorting and identifying the sizes of body and sleeve components according to the cutting patterns.

The research subjects were class VII students at YP Sunan Dalem Gumeno Middle School. The research instruments used in this research were (1) Interview Guide (2) Validation Sheet (3) Student Response Questionnaire (4) Mathematical Understanding Ability Test Questions. The mathematics learning media in the form of games developed is expected to improve students' mathematical understanding abilities. The validation results from media experts and material experts respectively obtained an average of 4.4 and 4.2 with valid criteria. The validation results of the mathematical understanding ability test obtained an average score of 4.2 with valid criteria. The results of the student response questionnaire obtained an average practicality of 4.2 with practical criteria. The results of the mathematical understanding ability test were carried out using a t-test using the SPSS program and the results showed that the significant value was 0.000 < 0.05, meaning that students' mathematical understanding ability after using game learning media was better before using the game learning media, so it can be concluded that the learning media Games can improve students' mathematical understanding abilities and can be said to be effective. The results of this research show that learning media is said to be valid, practical, and effective. In other words, game-based mathematics learning media can improve students' mathematical understanding abilities.

The anisotropy of energetic particles provides essential information to help resolve the underlying fundamental physics of their spatial distributions, injection, acceleration, and transport processes. In this work, we report an energetic ion enhancement that is characterized by very large and long-lasting anisotropies observed by STEREO A and Solar Orbiter, which are nearly aligned along the same nominal Parker spiral. This ion enhancement appears at the rising phase of a widespread solar energetic particle event that was associated with the farside coronal mass ejection on 2022 February 15. According to our analysis, the long-lasting anisotropy resulted from the continuous injection of energetic ions from a well-connected particle source located beyond the STEREO A’s orbit. Solar Orbiter also observed an interval of very large anisotropy dominated exclusively by sunward streaming ions but with the additional implication that it detected the very early phase of ion injections onto magnetic field lines that newly connected to the particle source, which is likely the first reported event of this kind. These results further illustrate how energetic particle anisotropy information, in particular from multiple observer locations, can be used to disentangle the sources and transport processes of energetic ions, even when their heliospheric context is not simple.

Authors: Peng Xin , Zhou Jia-Jun , Gao Hong-Di , Yang Jin-Quan
Published: October 2024

Opsariichthys iridescenssp. nov. is described from the Qiantang and Oujiang rivers in Zhejiang Province and a tributary of the Yangtze River adjacent to the Qiantang River. It is distinguished from congeners by the following combination of morphological features: no obvious anterior notch on the tip of the upper lip; 45–52 lateral-line scales; 18–21 pre-dorsal scales; two rows of pharyngeal teeth; a maxillary extending to or slightly beyond the vertical anterior margin of the orbit in adult males; a pectoral fin extending to the pelvic fin in adult males; nuptial tubercles on the cheeks and lower jaw of males, which are usually united basally to form a plate; uniform narrow pale pink cross-bars on trunk and two widening significantly on caudal peduncle. Its validity was also supported by its distinct Cyt b gene sequence divergence from all congeners and its monophyly recovered in a Cyt b gene-based phylogenetic analysis.
Limnichthys koreanus, a new species of creediid fish (Teleostei, Acropomatiformes, Creediidae) from Korea
Authors: Lee Yu-Jin , Kim Jin-Koo
Published: October 2024

Limnichthys koreanussp. nov. is described on the basis of the holotype and 11 paratypes from subtidal waters of Seogwipo, Jeju Island, Korea. The new species had previously been regarded as the Northern Hemisphere population of the anti-equatorial L. fasciatus, but molecular analyses of mitochondrial COI and 16S genes recovers deep genetic divergences of 9.4% and 15.0% between the new species and topotypical specimens of L. fasciatus. Limnichthys koreanussp. nov. is distinguished from all other species of Limnichthys based on the following combination of colouration and morphological characteristics: 38-40 vertebrae; 0–6 dorsal saddles joining mid-lateral stripe; small infraorbital sensory pores; a single median interorbital pore; and well-developed vomerine teeth. Summary characters for comparative congeneric species are provided.
Le rapport au travail depuis la réunification de l’Allemagne dans le roman Unterleuten de Juli Zeh
Authors: Gnaegy Birte
Published: October 2024

Dans son roman Unterleuten (2016, Brandebourg , 2017), Juli Zeh met en récit les enjeux et débats dans un village du Brandebourg face à la crise climatique du XXI e siècle. En ayant recours aux événements historiques tels que la chute du Mur et la réunification de l’Allemagne ainsi qu’en présentant une société fictive qui doit affronter les défis du siècle, l’autrice inscrit son œuvre dans le genre du roman social. Ce genre se caractérise par la volonté de poser un regard sur l’époque dans laquelle le récit prend place. Un roman social ne peut se dérouler que dans la décennie dans laquelle l’intrigue se situe et les personnages romanesques sont fortement influencés par la société dans laquelle ils vivent. Cet article examine comment la narratrice met en place différents rapports au travail tout en intégrant les répercussions qui en résultent et qui affectent la population de ce village depuis la réunification. La stratégie narrative a recours à une multi-perspective présentant plusieurs points de vue afin de confronter différentes mentalités et idéologies, d’évoquer les conditions de travail et de vie et d’étudier les positions de pouvoir dans le cadre professionnel.
