Authors: Silitonga Binsar
Published: October 2021

Indonesia geographical location (60LU-110LS) causes most of its region experience heavy amount ofÂ rainfall. Overflowing rain water is consequently ample in amount, and potentially a great source forÂ irrigation. Both urban and subburbs part of Medan, where some primary livelihood is in agriculture,Â benefit from this natural event. However the level of availability all year is not certain. Too much inÂ rainy season means flood, and too little means drought in dry season. Farmers normally neglected theÂ importance of storing rain water in rainy season in order to supply the dry season, and thus becomesÂ problem for farmers. How much water can potentially be used for agriculture in urban area, what isÂ the relationship between water amount with soil texture, types of certain-soil-suitable crop, plantÂ growth period. This research aims to analyze and answer this particular question.

Published: October 2021

Reservoir is a building used as a place to hold clean water before being distributed. Artificial resevoirÂ can be a steel tank or reinforced concrete tub. For reservoir that is planned to accommodate largeÂ amounts of water capacity, it is usually more effective to use reinforced concrete. Evaluation andÂ analysis of reservoir construction is one of the important aspects to ensure that the reservoir designÂ meets the requirements of strength and stability, as well as functional abilities. The problem that oftenÂ occurs in reservoir buildings is the occurrence of uncontrolled uplift which results upward movementÂ in the construction of the reservoir, and also the reservoir building often decreases differently due toÂ improper foundation systems. This different decline resulted in cracks on the floor of the reservoirÂ building which in turn will cause damage and malfunction of the reservoir construction. This paperÂ contains a study of planning evaluation and analysis, and the method of implementation of severalconstructions of reservoir structures that have been carried out. The results of this study are expectedÂ to provide input and help planners and contractors to build reinforced concrete reservoirs that complyÂ with the correct planning criteria, so that the building can function properly as planned.

Published: October 2021

Mount Sinabung located in Karo regency North sumatera has continuously been erupting since 2010,Â generating vast amount of waste in the form of volcanic ash. This research aims to investigate theÂ feasibility of utilizing this volcanic ash in asphalt mixture. We used volcanic ash to replace theÂ conventional filler material from stone crush. Sinabung volcanic ash has lower specific gravity,therefore could fill more void in the asphalt mixture, which can affect the value of Marshall testÂ criteria. Asphalt mixture in this study uses the procedure of Hot Mix Asphalt with mixing temperatureÂ ranging from 135Â°C - 150Â°C. The result shows that the use of Sinabung volcanic ash is feasible toÂ replace the conventional stone crush filler material in these conditions: optimum asphalt content isÂ 6.85%; percentage of volcanic ash-stone ash 50%-50%. According to national standards issued byÂ Bina Marga of Ministry of Public works, the following values comply with the required value. BulkÂ density density 2.416 kg/cm3, air void 4.724%, Void in Mineral Aggregat 18.667 Void Fillet withAsphalt 74.706%, stability 1000,992 kg, Marshall quotient 3.132 kN/mm, and flow 3.133 mm.

Soft clay substantial settlement and requires longer time to finish consolidation. The observed projectÂ in this study is reclamation project. Reclamation is carried out with a gradual piling method so thatÂ the strength gain occurs in the soil layer under reclaimed soil. Piling is done repeatedly, with anÂ initial elevation of +2m, second piling with a total elevation of +5m, and the third piling with a totalÂ elevation +8mASL. Piling material in this project is compacted sand material, with specifiedÂ specifications. The use of sand material results in the potential for liquefaction. Therefore it isÂ necessary to conduct soil improvement, and PVD with preloading is chosen which is useful forÂ accelerating the consolidation time. The Prefabricated Vertical Drain method is installed along theÂ reclamation area. This study aims to analyze the soil settlement over time both using PVD and withoutÂ using PVD. The effect of PVD installation by preloading was analyzed using PLAXIS 2D withÂ axisymmetric for single-drain, and was further modeled in multi drain using plane strain. Single drainÂ modeling into multi drain needs to be done axisymmetic equivalence to plane strain. The soilÂ parameters used are the results of the N-SPT value correlation from various sources.

Authors: Zokaei Monire , Hesami Saeed
Published: October 2021

Fatigue cracking is one of the most important types of failures, which decrease the asphalt pavement service life. Carbon fibers are amongst of the additives that have high tensile strength. It is expected this fiber reduce pavement cracks which increases the fatigue life of pavement. This paper experimentally investigated the effect of the carbon fibers on bitumen specimens. Hence, the effects of fiber characteristics such as length and fiber percentage on the indirect tensile strength and Marshall stability of asphalt mixture were studied. Then, the effect of fibers on bitumen and mastic behavior, which is the main objective of the study, was evaluated. Beam specimens were subjected to three-point bending tests to determine the effect of carbon fibers. Carbon fibers had a positive effect on the tensile strength of bitumen beams at loading rates of 0.5, 2, and 5 mm/min up to 100%. Mastic exhibited a similar behavior to pure bitumen in combination with fibers.

Women in the Covid-19 Pandemic: the Psychosocial State of Female Students in Poland.
Authors: Kochan Izabela , Walczak Anna , Lewczuk Joanna
Published: October 2021

The global pandemic-induced crisis has caused the differences that exist between the sexes in many areas of life to become more extreme. Apart from its influence on mental health, the necessity to adjust to the obligation of social distancing has also influenced the possibilities of students’ development as regards relationships. It has also limited their ability to earn money, which directly affects one’s economic status and other related areas such as the availability of healthcare, etc.
This study, which aims to present the psychosocial state of women who have been studying in Poland during the pandemic, shows that it is women, more than men, who have experienced the changes caused by the pandemic, both in the context of how they function and their fears. Life satisfaction amongst female students depends largely on their economic and material independence, and any hardships experienced influence, more often than in the case of men, the emotions that are dominant in women.
The results of the study clearly show that in the long run establishing a network of psychological support for women will be necessary as a response to their psychosocial health, which has worsened during the pandemic. Additionally, educated people who, in these difficult times, have not had the possibility to earn money or have had to accept jobs below their competencies (which may also significantly affect their life satisfaction), will be in need of support.
Das Leere
Authors: Schmidt Ernst A.
Published: October 2021

In this book Ernst A. Schmidt, emeritus of Classical Philology at Tübingen University, presents his research on the subject of "the void" in antiquity and early modern times. Schmidt first deals with atomistics from Leucipp to Lucretius, the pore theory from Empedocles to Heron of Alexandria, and the theory of Philoponos. This is followed by an investigation of the reception of ancient concepts in early modern physics (Galileo, Gassendi, Henry More). In an appendix the author offers a critical account of ancient atomism in three texts from the 18th century by Polignac, Wieland and Le Sage. There is no comparably comprehensive and source-saturated work on the subject to date. Anyone interested in "the void" or looking for sources will be well served by Schmidt.
Das Bewußtsein der Maschinen
Authors: Günther Gotthard
Published: October 2021

When Günther's book first appeared in 1957, cybernetics was considered the universal science of the future. It had been discovered that basically vacuum cleaners and states work according to the same principles. Günther was not only a philosopher, versed in German Idealism and logic, but also a fan of science fiction literature. This enabled him to fully grasp the importance of this new way of thinking, with Norbert Wiener as its foremost proponent. The book "Das Bewußtsein der Maschinen" (The Consciousness of Machines) is probably the first philosophical work in the wake of Wiener's fundamental texts to locate and interpret cybernetics in the widest possible context of Western metaphysics. For Günther – as, incidentally, for his antipode Martin Heidegger – it was clear that cybernetics was destined to eventually change humanity. Unlike Heidegger, however, Günther enthusiastically welcomed this change, though he was cautious about the possibility of self-aware machines. Since this prognosis of a profoundly universal technological revolution, brought about especially by the computer, has been confirmed, and because, moreover, an even more far-reaching change of the world by robots is already underway, a new look at Günther's work may remind us of a discussion whose significance we can perhaps only now adequately assess.
Der frühe Derrida und die Phänomenologie
Authors: Schnell Alexander
Published: October 2021

Jacques Derrida's 1953/54 thesis "The Problem of Genesis in Husserl's Philosophy" is one of those examples of important philosophers reaching extraordinary levels of erudition even in their early work. In his lecture "Der frühe Derrida und die Phänomenologie", Alexander Schnell reads Derrida's thesis not only as prime example for Derrida´s own thinking, but also as a key text for a future phenomenology, namely in its confrontation with the questions and problems of metaphysics. In doing so, Schnell elaborately unfolds not only the factual and historical context in which Derrida's text itself is situated, but also the factual and historical context of Husserl's texts interpreted by Derrida.
Trick, Treat, Transgress
Authors: Danneil Sandra
Published: October 2021

The Simpsons are not only the world’s most famous TV family; The Simpsons is, moreover, one of the longest-lasting animation programs in US-American television history. Over the course of the past thirty years, the yellow five from Springfield have grown into a wide-ranging phenomenon of American popular culture which still turns academics into fans and inspires fans to become academics. This book approaches a part of The Simpsons which research has largely left unnoticed, its Halloween Special Treehouse of Horror. The Simpsons revolutionized how we look through television at US-American culture and society, while Treehouse of Horror has had a crucial influence on how we re-member and re-consider popular-culture history by way of horror traditions. Altogether it will be shown how Matt Groening’s cartoon shows have painted a yellow archive of the digital age.
Die Krisenresilienz des Familienunternehmens
Authors: Windthorst Kay
Published: October 2021

The study examines the crisis resilience of the family business. The starting point is the Corona pandemic, whose effects are compared with the consequences of the financial and economic crisis of 2008/09. In examining crisis resilience, a distinction is made between the factors of corporate governance and family governance. Their specific importance is determined on an empirical basis. For this purpose, more than 240 questionnaires and many interviews with family businesses were analysed. Key factors of corporate governance relate to company organisation, company management, company financing, employee loyalty, location loyalty, digitalisation and sustainability. Key factors of family governance are the values and behaviour of the owning family, the organisation and rules of this area of governance, for example in a family charter, as well as the involvement of persons outside the family, e.g. within the framework of networks or by opening up the family business to third parties as shareholders. When assessing the influence of the various factors, a distinction is made between preventive crisis resilience (crisis precautions) and reactive crisis resilience (crisis combating). On this basis, guiding principles for crisis resilience are formulated which, as best practice, provide orienta-tion for coping with future crises and thus contribute to reviewing and further developing the crisis resilience of the family business.
An Insight on Corrosion Resistance Ability of Biocompatible Dental Implants through Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy
Authors: Nkomo Duduzile , Masia Nomsombuluko
Published: October 2021

Corrosion resistance is an important requirement in the study of biomedical implants. Implant surface can be modified to provide good adherence and/or optimum biocompatibility with the human body at the bone-implant interface. Titanium alloys are typically used because of their excellent corrosion resistance and biocompatibility. However, to improve these properties, the alloy surface is roughened using alumina (Al2O3). More details on the corrosion resistance of these alloys can be obtained by using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) method. EIS is the most suitable method for monitoring corrosion rate values due to its reproducibility, it is non-destructive and has reliable determination of small corrosion rates, much lower than those measured by other techniques. It can also study high-impedance systems, such as coatings and linings, high-purity water, and organic coating/metal systems or corrosion in a low-conductive solution. This method has been used to evaluate electrochemical properties of modified surfaces. This chapter will explore the effectiveness of EIS in studying the corrosion behaviour of machined and surface-modified Pure Ti grade 4 for dental implant applications. The basic EIS concepts are discussed and their derivation thereof to provide information about the corrosion resistance of biomedical implants is explored.
The Role of Neurohormonal Systems, Inflammatory Mediators and Oxydative Stress in Cardiomyopathy
Authors: Zolty Ronald
Published: October 2021

Cardiomyopathy and more specifically the dilated cardiomyopathy, regardless of severity, is associated with activation of neuro-hormonal, cytokine and oxidative stress signaling pathways that alter the structure and function of cardiac myocytes and non-myocyte cells. These cellular alterations culminate in the morphological changes in cardiac structure termed as cardiac remodeling, a maladaptive process that contributes to further left ventricular dysfunction and heart failure development. This pathological progression is mainly driven by circulating mediators, in particular angiotensin II and norepinephrine. Natriuretic peptides, endothelin-1, vasopressin play also an important role in the progression of the cardiomyopathy. Cardiac inflammation, mediated by cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukins 1 (IL-1) and 6 (IL-6), as well as the oxidative stress were also shown to worsen the cardiac function. Although these pathways have been described separately, they are critically inter-dependent in the response to the development and progression of the dilated cardiomyopathy. This chapter reviews the cellular basis for cardiac remodeling and the mechanisms that contribute to these cellular abnormalities and, more broadly, to the pathophysiology of dilated cardiomyopathy, its progression and its potential treatments.

Published: October 2021

To ensure safety and reduce the weight of vehicles, studies are being actively conducted on different aluminum alloys that have strength higher than conventional aluminum alloys. The development of high-performance aluminum alloys through magnesium content control is underway. Research on manufacturing techniques, such as, welding for application to the car body parts of these materials is required. In this study, the resistance spot weldability of an aluminum alloy with 6 wt.% magnesium (Al-6Mg) was evaluated and compared with the commercial aluminum alloy 5052, 6061 (Al5052, Al6061). The suitable welding range of the Al-6Mg was found to have a welding current of 24 kA to 28 kA, and a similar level of Al6061. The welding heat input was almost the same for the three materials, which resulted in no difference in the diameter of the nuggets. There was no significant difference of the porosity ratio between Al-6Mg and Al5052; however, the porosity ratio of Al6061 was higher. The alloy with the highest tensile shear strength, hardness and energy absorption of a welded joint was Al-6Mg. The low porosity ratio and high hardness of the Al-6Mg alloy caused the relatively high tensile shear strength and energy absorption of the welded joint.

Published: October 2021

Background: Malignancy is a known risk factor of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) severe involvement. Information about this infection in patients with cancer is limited. Objectives: This study aimed at reporting the clinical and imaging characteristics of COVID-19 infection in patients with cancer. Methods: All the patients were known cases of a solid tumor with COVID-19 infection in one center, between February and May 2020. Clinical presentation and imaging involvement of COVID-19 infection in addition to cancer features were documented from medical records/patient interviews. Results: Thirty-one patients with solid tumors and COVID-19 involvement were included. The most prevalet presentation was fever, cough, and myalgia. Breast and gastrointestinal malignancies were the most common cancer types. The mortality rate was 22.5% and all deceased patients suffered from stage 4 of their underlying cancer disease. Lung computed tomography scan (CT scan) features in these patients were not different from the non-cancer patients with COVID-19. Conclusions: COVID-19 involvement in patients with cancer seems to be more severe with higher mortality rates especially in patients with other comorbidity and in metastatic cases. Treatment modifications during the pandemic era sound to be logical in decreasing the infection rate.

Background: Craving has an important place in the structure of the literature on consumption disorders. Objectives: The present research investigates the relationship between emotional factors (such as positive and negative effects, emotion regulation, emotion regulation strategies, emotional processing, emotional stimulation, attention to emotional stimuli, emotional separation, and emotional response) with consumption craving. Patients and Methods: The statistical population of current descriptive-correlational research consisted of all opium-dependent patients living in medium-term accommodation centers (camps) in Zahedan, Iran, from 2018 to 2019. Among 21 allowed accommodation centers, 12 were randomly selected. A purposive sampling method was used to select 243 patients. For collecting data, multiple questionnaires were used. Pearson correlation coefficient test and stepwise multivariate regression were used for analyzing the data. Data were analyzed using SPSS-16 software. Results: The results showed that among emotional factors, emotional excitement could only predict 0.020 of variations in instant craving, and other emotional factors did not have much explanatory power. However, to predict drug carvings and desires, more emotional variables (emotional arousal, emotional processing, affection, emotion regulation, and emotional separation) were entered into the equation, and the set could predict 0.156% of drug carving. Conclusions: Cultural factors play an important role in the expression of emotion, and it is important to consider them in the field of drug prevention. Concurrent attention is needed to be paid to the biological, psychological, and social dimensions. In addition, concurrent treatment can lead to interdisciplinary collaboration.

Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo, descrever o processo de inclusão de alunos com deficiência nas aulas de Educação Física no Município de Araucária (PR), na perspectiva dos professores. Sendo um estudo de caráter qualitativo, foram avaliados dez professores de Ensino Fundamental Anos Iniciais. A coleta de dados realizou-se em duas etapas: primeiramente, foi solicitado à Secretaria Municipal de Educação o fornecimento de dados referentes ao panorama geral de alunos da rede pública de ensino. Em seguida, foram realizadas entrevistas com os professores de Educação Física das escolas públicas municipais. Com isso, os resultados mostram que a maioria dos professores não possui formação específica em Educação Física, o que dificulta a atuação deles, além de que, há carência de materiais nas escolas. Observou-se que os alunos incluídos são atendidos por profissionais de apoio, cuja função é mediar o processo ensino-aprendizagem juntamente com o professor regente. Ainda, ressalta-se que os alunos com deficiência participam ativamente das aulas de Educação Física e têm boa relação social com seus pares. Sendo assim, a inclusão dos alunos com deficiência nas aulas de Educação Física vem sendo efetivada por meio da atitude positiva do professor, que realiza atividades embasadas na perspectiva inclusiva e promove a interação entre os estudantes. Conclui-se que a inclusão de alunos com deficiência nas aulas de Educação Física, depende do esforço de todos os envolvidos e, no Município de Araucária, esse processo vem se desenvolvendo e tem se tornado cada vez mais natural.

This action research was conducted in Thimyul Lower Secondary School in Lhuentse, particularly for class VIII students in History classes. It was done with the action research question, “how can the integration of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) strategy in History subject enhances the critical thinking skill of the students?” The very school has encountered the issue of low critical thinking skill resulting in the cases of low academic performance and less interest in the classroom learning of History subject. Researchers’ surveys and examinations record of the school showed the deteriorating ranks of history subject after failing to obtain good marks from the higher order thinking skill. So, the purpose of this action research is to enhance the critical thinking skill by incorporating Problem Based Learning (PBL) strategy in teaching the history lesson. This intervention educational action research was done with descriptive research with focused on the constructivism research paradigm. It engaged mix method research methodology and used quantitative method by employing the data from class test and survey questionnaire. To support the authenticity of the quantitative data, researchers employed qualitative method by using researchers’ observation on the students’ progress and participants’ feedback on the intervention programs. Case studies, debates and pictorial presentations were used as the main intervention program to integrate the PBL strategy while teaching the history lesson. Stratified and voluntary sampling method were deployed for the collection of data from the student-participants. By this action research, implementation of the PBL strategy in the history lesson has witnessed radical improvement in critical thinking skill of the students. Thus, this action research definitely proved that PBL strategy is the effective method for learning history lesson to improve the critical thinking skill of the students.

A study was carried out at S. V. Agricultural College, Tirupati to evaluate the efficacy of selected insecticide molecules against pod borer complex in field bean during rabi, 2020-21. The results revealed that among nine insecticide molecules tested for their efficacy against major pod borers, the sprays of spinosad 45 SC @ 0.3 ml/L were found to be most effective against spotted pod borer (82.26 per cent reduction over control), tobacco caterpillar (79.77%), blue butterfly (81.13%) and pea pod borer (81.14%). The next in the order of efficacy were indoxacarb 14.5 SC @ 0.5 ml/L which has recorded 80.45 per cent reduction over control for spotted pod borer, 78.82% for tobacco caterpillar, 79.93% for blue butterfly and 79.79% for pea pod borer whereas flubendiamide 20 WG @ 0.3 g/L has recorded 81.02 per cent reduction over control for spotted pod borer, 77.13% for tobacco caterpillar, 77.41% for blue butterfly and 77.11% for pea pod borer. Similarly, the least per cent pod damage was observed in spinosad @ 0.3 ml/L (37.10%), indoxacarb @ 0.5 ml/L (37.45%) and flubendiamide @ 0.3 g/L (37.98%) which were statistically on par with each other. The results on the effect of pod borer complex management on yield revealed that, among the treatments the pod yield was maximum in spinosad 45 SC @ 0.3 ml/L (1347 kg ha-1) followed by indoxacarb 14.5 SC @ 0.5 ml/L (1278 kg ha-1) and both the treatments were at par with each other.

Tuberculosis is one of the bacterial infection caused by mycobacterium tuberculosis strain and the treatment for it involves the use of anti-tubercular drugs. Rifampicin is one of the common drug that is used for tuberculosis but it potentiates liver toxicity due to metabolism. Objective: The present study was designed to Check the a hepatoprotective agent from a natural source. The natural source was chosen to minimize the side effects that occur due to conventional or synthetic drugs. The hepatoprotective activity of 70% ethanol extract of Blumea lacera leaves (EEBLL) was evaluated against Rifampicin induced hepatotoxicity in rats. Preliminary phytochemical screening, acute oral toxicity, in vivo antioxidant activity, physical and Biochemical parameters were evaluated for hepatoprotective activity. Preliminary phytochemical screening revealed that flavonoids, tannin and saponins are present in EEBLL. Acute oral toxicity was performed as per the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) guidelines and selected doses of 200 and 400 mg/kg. In rifampicin induced hepatotoxicity in rats, the effect of EEBLL on the biochemical parameters (SGOT, SGPT, ALP, direct and total Bilirubin) was assessed. The increased levels of the above-mentioned biochemical indicators of hepatotoxicity were significantly normalized after the pretreatment with EEBLL (200 mg/ kg and 400mg/kg). The histopathological studies also supported above findings. It is concluded from this study that EEBLL possesses hepatoprotective properties which may be attributed to the polyphenolic compounds that are present in the plant. Further isolation and characterization are required to identify the potent compound as hepatoprotective.
Entre o Diabo e Diadorim: psicanálise e gênero em Grande sertão: veredas
Authors: Lima Vinícius Moreira
Published: October 2021

Neste trabalho, partimos das duas questões que assolam o narrador Riobaldo, em Grande sertão: veredas, isto é, a existência do Diabo e o amor por seu amigo Diadorim, para discutir como o pulsional e a presença do inconsciente, ao dividirem o sujeito, promovem uma espécie de despossessão identitária, um descentramento em relação às formas narrativas do eu. A partir disso, fomos levados a confrontar os sofrimentos de determinação excessiva — a que Riobaldo se prende — com as experiências produtivas de indeterminação, que Diadorim personifica, ao operar como causa de desejo para o narrador, fazendo vacilar sua gramática identitária habitual em meio ao regime de heterossexualidade compulsória da jagunçagem. Assinalamos na direção de algo do pulsional que aponta para um fundo de indeterminação a corroer as tentativas de determinação normativa de identidades.
Consumo de pornografia midiática e masculinidade
Authors: Borges Melissa Toledo , De Tilio Rafael
Published: October 2021

A concepção foucaultiana de corpo afirma ser este uma superfície de inscrição de acontecimentos, interpenetrado pela história a partir da qual a produção de discursos e saberes materializa seus significados. Neste contexto, as tecnologias midiáticas devem ser compreendidas como produtoras e reprodutoras de discursos de gênero que participam da constituição da subjetividade dos sujeitos; e uma dessas mídias é a pornografia. Levando em conta os debates já existentes sobre a proibição ou não da produção/distribuição e consumo de pornografia pelos movimentos feministas, este trabalho tem como objetivo compreender de que maneira o consumo de pornografia midiática incide sobre o imaginário do homem heterossexual e, consequentemente, sobre as relações que estabelece com as mulheres.
