“They steals”
Authors: McDonough Tom
Published: March 2021

BAND (2009), Adam Pendleton’s first foray into filmmaking, was an ambitious collage of voices from the late 1960s and music by the contemporary indie band Deerhoof. Its sources are here unpacked in order to parse the complicated dialogue Pendleton establishes with the radical past and its ambivalent echoes in the present. The film is understood as an early exemplar of the artist’s concept of “Black Dada” – his attempt to link historical and current struggles for equality through evocations and echoes of experimental practices across America’s racial divide.

Epidemias en series médicas: enfermedades, profesionales sanitarios y dilemas bioéticos
Authors: Cambra-Badii Irene , Baños Josep-E
Published: March 2021

El año 2020 será recordado, probablemente, como “el año del coronavirus”. La pandemia SARS-CoV-2 que azota desde diciembre de 2019 a todo el mundo marcará un antes y un después en la vida cotidiana de muchas personas. Para evitar la propagación del virus, se han impuesto restricciones rigurosas de circulación, cuarentenas y confinamientos como nunca había sucedido. Frente a esta realidad inédita y disruptiva, acudimos a una fuente privilegiada para analizar y aprender sobre las epidemias: el cine y las series. En particular, las series médicas permiten que los espectadores se adentren en el mundo hospitalario y conozcan distintas representaciones de los profesionales de la salud. En este artículo presentamos la descripción y el análisis de seis episodios de series médicas donde se retrata una epidemia como tema central: Urgencias, Anatomía de Grey, Doctor House, The Good Doctor, New Amsterdam y The Resident. La representación de la enfermedad y la epidemia suele ser misteriosa y peligrosa y se representa a los profesionales como héroes dispuestos a sacrificar su propia salud en pos de sus pacientes. Los temas bioéticos se relacionan con el consentimiento informado y la influencia de temas personales de los profesionales en el tratamiento de sus pacientes.
La gripe española de 1918 a través de la obra de Laura Spinney El jinete pálido
Authors: Sampedro Puerma María , Sánchez Campelo Guillermo
Published: March 2021

De entre todas las pandemias, la gripe española de 1918 es, sin duda, la más mortífera y destructiva en términos absolutos que haya sufrido la especie humana, llegando algunas estimaciones a los 100 millones de muertes. Provocada por el virus de la gripe A subtipo H1N1, se desarrolló en el contexto de la I Guerra Mundial, un hecho totalmente novedoso en la presentación de una enfermedad. Sus repercusiones se entremezclan y difuminan con las de un conflicto que asoló buena parte del viejo continente, agravando así sus consecuencias. Sin embargo, esta pandemia hizo evidente la necesidad de un sistema de salud pública eficaz, de modo que la mayoría de los países del mundo tomó medidas en este aspecto. Cien años después, la ciencia y la medicina se han visto desbordadas en la pandemia de COVID-19, combatiéndola con armas muy similares a las ya vistas contra la gripe española. ¡Ojalá hayamos aprendido la lección!

Background Cardiac left-to-right shunts changes to the pulmonary-to-systemic blood flow ratio (Qp/Qs ratio). This ratio can be used to monitor the hemodynamics of the heart. Left-to right-shunts cause the release of amino terminal proB-ty natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) that can be utilized as a specific marker for the presence of heart failure in children with congenital heart defects (CHDs). Early intervention such as defect closure in CHD is important to prevent heart failure. 

Objective To assess for a correlation between the level of NT pro-BNP and Qp/Qs ratio in CHD patients with left-to-right shunts.

Methods This cross-sectional, analytical study was conducted in 32 children who underwent cardiac catheterization at Sanglah General Hospital, Denpasar, Bali, and were recruited by consecutive sampling. NT-proBNP levels were measured by ELISA with a two-step sandwich assay system; Qp/Qs ratio using Fick rules. Statistical analyses included Shapiro-Wilk test, descriptive analysis for subject characteristics, and Pearson’s correlation analysis. A P value of <0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. Age and defect size were analyzed as confounding factors by partial correlation test.

Results The correlation value between NT-proBNP and Qp/Qs ratio was r=0.384 (P<0.05), after controlling for age and defect size as cofounding factors.

Conclusion There is a weak positive correlation between NT-proBNP levels and pulmonary-to-systemic blood flow ratio in patients with left-to-right shunt, after controlling for age and defect size as confounding factors.

Published: March 2021

Background The ability to predict mortality in critically ill patients is important for assessing patient prognosis, evaluating therapy, and assessing intensive care unit quality. The Pediatric Index of Mortality (PIM) 3 is a scoring system to predict outcomes in order to assist clinical decision-making. Objective To assess the ability of PIM 3 to predict outcomes of critically ill PICU patients.Methods This prospective cohort study included 150 children aged 1 month to 18 years who were admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU), Sanglah Hospital, Denpasar, Bali. Subjects were grouped into two based on ROC curve PIM score ≥48 and <48. The PIM 3 score was consisted of 10 variables, with a re-diagnosis classification of the PIM 2 score. Bivariate analysis was conducted to both groups to find the distribution of mortality in both groups, followed by homogenity test on variables gender, age, nutritional status, lenght of stay and mechanical ventilation. Variables which made the cut on bivariate test were included in multivariate analysis.Results The optimal PIM 3 score limit in predicting mortality was ≥48, with area under the curve (AUC) 76% (95%CI 0.69 to 0.85). Multivariate analysis revealed a 2.48 times increased risk to mortality in patients with PIM 3 score ≥48 (95%CI 1.6 to 3.7). In addition, PICU length of stay ≤7 days was a significant risk factor for mortality. Conclusion The PIM 3 has a good ability to predict the outcome of critically ill PICU patients. Critically ill patients with PIM 3 score ≥48 have a higher risk of mortality compared to those with PIM 3 < 48.

Authors: Sutaryo Sutaryo , Kristian Scolastika Dita
Published: March 2021

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is highly uncommon in patients < 20 years of age, at less than 0.1% of population.1 Pancreatic tumors in children and adolescents can develop from endocrine or exocrine cells. The tumor types include solid pseudopapillary tumor, ductal adenocarcinoma, pancreatoblastoma, acinar cell carcinoma, and pancreatic endocrine neoplasm (malignant and benign).2 Other types of tumors may be attached to it or secondarily engage the gland or emerge from other kinds of non-pancreatic cells inside the pancreas. The prevalent type of classic PDAC in adults is highly uncommon in children.  We report here on a fifteen-year old girl with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (mPDAC), who presented with abdominal discomfort and jaundice.

Osteoarthritis and Falls: Is there a Link?
Authors: Marks Ray
Published: March 2021

Osteoarthritis, a widespread joint disease, commonly results in considerable pain and functional disability, especially among older adults. At the same time, falls and fall injuries, also common among the older population, may not only contribute to the onset of osteoarthritis, but once established, to falls that lead to fractures and disability in their own right. But what does the research show specifically?

Objective
This report aimed to examine what is known about the interrelationship between falls and osteoarthritis and the implications that can be drawn from this information.

Methods
Using the PUBMED data base, studies describing an association between osteoarthritis and falls were sought. Those fulfilling the eligibility criteria were reviewed and summarized in narrative form.

Results
Consistent support for an osteoarthritis-falls associated linkage is limited and not as robust as one would predict. Whether the observed associations between these health determinants are a cause of osteoarthritis, a consequence or both, or simply spurious findings is hard to decipher.

Conclusion
More numerous and carefully designed research to examine this issue is warranted and may be extremely helpful in preventing, as well as ameliorating a high degree of excess disability and associated fiscal costs due to both falls as well as osteoarthritis among the elderly.
Programa combinado para mejorar el estado emocional y prevenir el deterioro cognitivo de adultos mayores institucionalizados
Authors: García Gómez María Begoña , Briones Aranda Alfredo , Ballesteros Jiménez Soledad
Published: March 2021

Diversos programas de entrenamiento combinado (PEC) basados en ejercicios físicos y neuropsicológicos se utilizan cada vez más con mejores resultados, dentro de las terapias no farmacológicas. En el presente trabajo, se realizó un estudio empírico cuasi-experimental, en donde se evaluó la influencia de un PEC sobre la mejora de las capacidades afectivas, cognitivas y de independencia, tras un año de intervención con adultos mayores institucionalizados (AMI) de una residencia para ancianos en Tuxtla Gutiérrez Chiapas, México (19 mujeres y 23 hombres). Durante este proceso, tanto al inicio como al final, se evaluaron las distintas áreas de estudio, mediante la utilización de las pruebas de Hamilton, Beck, Lobo y Barthel, en donde se pudo observar una tendencia positiva ejercida por el PEC en la disminución de los niveles de ansiedad y depresión en los hombres, así como la disposición que tuvo este programa para evitar el progreso del deterioro cognitivo en ambos grupos. Por lo anterior y en consideración de la carencia de programas destinados a coadyuvar el mejoramiento de la salud mental de los AM en el estado de Chiapas, el PEC podría proponerse como una estrategia de bajo costo, encaminada a procurar la salud integral de los AMI.

This paper highlights the flow topology above blunt-edged delta wing of VFE-2 configuration when an active flow control technique called ‘blower’ is applied in the leading edge of the wing. The flow topology above blunt-edged delta wing is very complex, disorganised and unresolved compared to sharp-edged wing. For the sharp leading-edged wing, the onset of the primary vortex is fixed at the apex of the wing and develops along the entire wing towards the trailing edge. However, the onset of the primary vortex is no longer fixed at the apex of the wing for the blunt-edged case. The onset of the primary vortex develops at a certain chord-wise position and it moved upstream or downstream depending on Reynolds number, angle of attack, Mach number and the leading-edge bluntness. An active flow control namely ‘blower’ technique has been applied in the leading edge of the wing in order to investigate the upstream/downstream progression of the primary vortex. This research has been carried out in order to determine either the flow on blunt-edged delta wing would behave as the flow above sharp-edged delta wing if any active flow control is applied. The experiments were performed at Reynolds number of 0.5×106, 1.0×106 and 2.0×106 corresponding to 9 m/s, 18 m/s and 36 m/s in UTM Low Speed wind Tunnel based on the mean aerodynamic chord of the wing. The results obtained from this research have shown that the blower technique has significant effects on the flow topology above blunt-edged delta wing. The main observation from this study was that the primary vortex has been shifted 20% upstream when the blower technique is applied. Another main observation was the ability of this flow control to delay the formation of the vortex breakdown.
Evaluation of Current, Force and Temperature Signals on Welding Formation of Bobbin Friction Stir Welded AA1100
Authors: Sued M. K. , Nasir S.N.N.M. , Abidin M.Z.Z.
Published: March 2021

Understanding process response through measuring process signal provides on-site information in the area of process monitoring, which saves time and costs. The type of signals depends upon the type of process, equipment and machines used through sensors attached on the equipment used in the process. This is an important method for detecting changes in the process that reflect the condition or quality of the weld. The benefits of this method, however, has not been well performed for Bobbin friction welding. This process is different from conventional friction welding due to the different process set-up in term of tooling and parameters, hence the need to evaluate the signal response. Consequently, signal measuring for welding plate AA1100 was carried out. Tool rotation ranged from 750 rpm to 950 rpm with a fixed travel rate of 130 mm/min on a CNC milling machine and a fixed spacing tool. During the joining process, welding temperature, current consumption and welding force were measured. The resulting data were then plotted on the X-Y axis chart and mapped using the welded plate identifying the welding phase. From the welding force and current measurement, it is found that high force and current is detected at the tool entry phase and exit. As the tool moves towards the end of the plate, the temperature increased. The highest current and strength are measured when the spindle speed is at the lowest, while the highest temperature is at the fastest spindle speed. In weld phase, a current of approximately 6.5 A, a force of 1 kN and a temperature of 320º was measured. A maximum weld strength of 102.860 MPa achieved using a speed of 950 rpm. A slow spindle speed at the entrance area and a high spindle speed at the weld phase are needed to optimise the process.
Prognostics of Induction Motor Shaft Based on Feature Importance and Least Square Support Vector Machine Regression
Authors: Susilo Didik Djoko , Widodo Achmad , Prahasto Toni , Nizam Muhammad
Published: March 2021

This paper aims to present a prognostic method for induction motor shafts that experience fatigue failure in the keyway area, using motor vibration signals. Preprocessing the data to eliminate noise in raw signals is done by decomposing the signal, using discrete wavelet transforms. Prognostic indicator candidates are obtained through the selection of features based on its importance, which involve the superposition of monotonicity and trendability parameters. The prognostics model is built based on the least squares support vector machine regression approach. Remaining useful life (RUL) estimates of motor shafts were performed by fitting the sum of two exponential functions to the regression results and extrapolating over time until the specified failure threshold hits. The results of the study show that the proposed method can work satisfactorily to estimate the RUL of motor shaft. The best prognostic indicator namely the RMS, can be used to predict the motor shaft RUL since 50% of the time step before the end of the motor shaft life is error bound within 20%.

Published: March 2021

The demand for gloves is increasing currently and mostly used in health facilities such as hospitals and clinics. Furthermore, laboratory facilities such as in university and schools also use gloves to handle equipment in the laboratory. Since pandemic Covid-19, personal hygiene emerged as the main concerned. Hence, not only the person who works in health facilities and laboratory, everyone used gloves, especially in the public place. Consequently, gloves demand is increasing tremendously. However, the manufacturer who produces gloves is suffering insufficient capacity in the goods warehouse due to a large number of production output. In this regard, this paper aims to improve one of the finished goods warehouse capacity that highly affected by the sudden increase in demand. An improvement of finished goods warehouse layout was developed by using a simulation tool to solve the lack of available space. It is found that the proposed layout can be fully utilized in the warehouse, thus increase the warehouse capacity efficiently.

Published: March 2021

The purpose of this paper is to present a plan on how to improve the operational efficiency of the company during the Covid-19 period. Previous research has been reviewed in order to gain further knowledge of the problem; primarily on the operational performance, as well as on the supply chain management of the company. The results have shown that, on the basis of a social network analysis, the Procurement Engineer is the most influential individual in the management of information within the organization, where the Procurement Engineer is also the employee who has a strong link with the transfer of data to top management, the Ishikawa diagram indicates that the present environment is the primary cause of the company's problems in finding products, while the Tree diagram shows the only approach to the issue of insufficient employees is by supplying training for new or existing workers or by assigning staff from another department to serve permanently in a department where there is a lack of staff. In addition, the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) framework will strengthen the green supply chain management of the business as it will help to reduce the loss of time waiting for or processing the company's materials, thereby reducing the cost as well. This research offers proof of the pre-Covid 19 and post-Covid 19 impacts on green supply chain operational performance.

The book under review is dedicated to the work of an outstanding linguist Prof. Valerijus Čekmonas (1937–2004). The purpose of compiling this publication was to reveal an original methodo­logy for studying the interaction of the Baltic and Slavic languages developed by Čekmonas, who was the first in the history of linguistics to consistently substanti­ate explanations of concrete linguistic phenomena not only using diachronic, but also synchronic data by applying a diachronic re­search programme he developed. Alongside the methodology for interpreting diachronic facts, Čekmonas created a methodology for selection, grouping and stor­age of synchronic facts – to be called a socio-linguistic methodology – which doubled his scientific merits. The first part of the book includes twenty five the most significant articles of V. Čekmonas on the interaction of the Lithuanian, Belarusian and Polish lan­guages. Some articles were drawn up together with co-authors, this perfectly reflects Čekmonas’ ambition to focus on solving the problem in the joint work of co-workers and to force them to take responsibility for the continuation of the work. In the second part of the book V. Čekmonas’ School is presented, there are twelve articles prepared of his followers and colleagues.

Published: March 2021

Two subclasses of expansions of locally normal groups with the help of finite p-groups are selected, at which projective Sylow p-subgroups are locally conjugate. The subgroup F of a finite index contains in the first case invariant Sylow p-subgroup, in the second case Sylow p-subgroups in F are almost abelian. The example that is given shows that for both subclasses the condition of expansion of locally normal group with the help of just p-group is essential.

First record of a wild population of Laelia dawsonii f. dawsonii (Orchidaceae) for the state of Jalisco, Mexico
Authors: Cházaro-Basáñez Miguel J. , Jiménez-Vázquez Alexander , Pérez-García Eduardo A.
Published: March 2021

The existence of a wild population of Laelia dawsonii f. dawsonii is recorded for the first time in the Mexican State of Jalisco. Laelia dawsonii has a wide geographical distribution throughout the Sierra Madre del Sur (Oaxaca, Guerrero, and Jalisco); however, the populations are very isolated, and each one has very few individuals. Until now, no wild populations of this species had been registered outside of the State of Oaxaca. The population found in Jalisco is composed of about 100 plants. Due to its horticultural importance, L. dawsonii has been frequently extracted from the field, and its Oaxacan populations have been decimated since the end of the 19th century. Currently, this species is considered endangered in Mexico.

Molecular characterisation of extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli and Salmonella isolated from poultry and poultry products in Egypt
Authors: Kamel N. M. , Farghaly E. M. , Shawky H. M. , Samir A.
Published: March 2021

Extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) producing E. coli and salmonellae have spread rapidly worldwide and pose a serious threat to human and animal health. The present study was conduct-ed to determine the prevalence of ESBL-producing E.coli and salmonellae, to perform molecular characterisation of the ESBL-related bla genes, including blaTEM, blaSHV and blaCTX, and the sus-ceptibilities of these bacteria to various antimicrobial agents. From a total of 300 poultry samples, 25 and 20 samples were recognised as Salmonella and E. coli, respectively by microbiological and molecular methods. All E. coli and Salmonella isolates were positive for an ESBL phenotype. Mo-lecular detection for antibiotic resistance gene revealed blaTEM in all isolates of salmonellae and E. coli (100%), while blaSHV was detected in 5 (20%) and 2 (10%) of salmonellae and E. coli isolates, respectively. None of the isolates contained blaCTX gene. Serotyping of Salmonella spp. in chick-ens revealed that S. enteritidis was the major isolates followed by S. Infantis (21.4%), S. Kentucky (14.2%) and S. Typhimurium, S. Kapemba, S. Newport, S. Vejle and S. Magherafelt were detected at 7.1% respectively. S. Infantis was the major isolate detected in chicks (60%), while in ducks S. Typhimurium and S. Blegdam were identified. In ducklings, S. Sinchew, S. Infantis and S. Sekon-di were equally prevalent. Only S. Newmexico was identified in poultry products. E. coli in chick-en were serotyped into O1, O8, O29, O125, O128 and O157. In chicks, O29 and O126 serotypes were detected. In poultry products only O8 was detected. The results indicate that ESBL frequen-cy has reached an alarming level in poultry isolates in Egypt, with TEM enzymes being the pre-dominant β-lactamases detected.
Heritage-Making in the Metropolitan Area. The Case of the “Wedding at Ecser”
Authors: Eitler Ágnes
Published: March 2021

The paper focuses on the case study of a settlement in the immediate vicinity of the Hungarian capital, which became nationally recognized in the second half of the 20th century through the staging of the community’s wedding customs, known as Wedding at Ecser. Over the decades, the element lifted out of the local lifeworld – and ultimately constructed – has become linked with various community meanings and interpretive structures, through the examination of which the underlying historical, economic, and socio-cultural processes are being presented. Not only has the cultural relic – initially constructed by and through external actors – appreciated for local society, it soon developed into a central element of self-representation. At the same time, the cyclically growing interest in the staged custom and the repeated re-articulation of the wedding in new ways were closely linked with the social changes of the given period and the transformation of the local community and also dependent on the nature of power discourses at the local level. However, the wedding became not only an economic, ideological, political resource for the local community but also a valid meaning structure beyond the local level. This study pays special attention to discussions of the role that this phenomenon – which has nearly 60 years of history and many layers of meaning – may have played in the heritagization practices of the 21st century. There is particular emphasis on how the wedding as a heritage element and – more broadly – heritagization are linked to local experiences of a changing rurality.
The Urine Anion Gap: Common Misconceptions
Authors: Uribarri Jaime , Oh Man S.
Published: March 2021

Two papers, one in 1986 and another one in 1988, reported a strong inverse correlation between urinary anion gap (UAG) and urine ammonia excretion (UNH4) in patients with metabolic acidosis and postulated that UAG could be used as an indirect measure of UNH4. This postulation has persisted until now and is widely accepted. In this review, we discuss factors regulating UAG and examine published evidence to uncover errors in the postulate and the design of the original studies. The essential fact is that, in the steady state, UAG reflects intake of Na, K, and Cl. Discrepancy between intake and urinary output of these electrolytes (i.e., UAG) indicates selective extrarenal loss of these electrolytes or nonsteady state. UNH4 excretion, which depends, in the absence of renal dysfunction, mainly on the daily acid load, has no consistent relationship to UAG either theoretically or in reality. Any correlation between UAG and UNH4, when observed, was a fortuitous correlation and cannot be extrapolated to other situations. Furthermore, the normal value of UAG has greatly increased over the past few decades, mainly due to increases in dietary intake of potassium and widespread use of sodium salts with anions other than chloride as food additives. The higher normal values of UAG must be taken into consideration in interpreting UAG.
Why is the Default Rate So Low? How Economic Conditions and Public Policies Have Shaped Mortgage and Auto Delinquencies During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Dettling Lisa , Lambie-Hanson Lauren
Published: March 2021

Delinquencies and defaults on household debt typically closely follow the business cycle. As economic conditions deteriorate, falling employment and incomes put a strain on family finances, leading to a rise in missed debt payments and defaults. Yet, against the backdrop of a historic rise in unemployment associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, delinquencies have fallen. This FEDS Note documents trends in delinquency on mortgages and auto loans during the COVID-19 pandemic, and unpacks how changes in economic conditions and public policies have been associated with borrowers’ debt repayment behavior.

Authors: Siqueira Beatriz Silva de Sousa , Melo Fernanda Godoi
Published: March 2021

OBJETIVO: avaliar o conhecimento e conduta de profissionais de saúde em relação à diarreia em pacientes recebendo nutrição enteral. MÉTODOS: estudo transversal realizado com profissionais de saúde de duas Unidades de Terapia Intensiva de adultos. Os dados foram coletados por meio de um questionário autoaplicável. RESULTADOS: participaram do estudo 37 profissionais, sendo 17 (45,9%) auxiliares ou técnicos em enfermagem, 8 (21,6%) enfermeiros, 8 (21,6%) médicos, 3 (8,1%) nutricionistas e 1 (2,8%) profissão omissa. A definição mais comum encontrada para diarreia foi “três ou mais episódios de evacuações líquidas ou semilíquidas/dia.” As principais causas citadas para diarreia foram a “infecção” e a “dieta”. A atitude/conduta mais observada foi “comunicação à equipe”. A maioria (16; 43,2%) presencia, com muita frequência, dietas interrompidas por causa de diarreia e a “adequação da dieta” e a “capacitação da equipe multiprofissional” foram as soluções mais citadas para se prevenir essa interrupção. A maioria (20; 54%) dos profissionais não participou de nenhum treinamento sobre diarreias, e 33 profissionais (cerca de 90%) considera importante a implementação de um protocolo.  CONCLUSÃO: há divergências entre os profissionais de saúde, tanto em seus conhecimentos quanto nas condutas frente ao paciente com diarreia na UTI, o que pode influenciar diretamente no cuidado com o mesmo. A capacitação da equipe multiprofissional e a criação de um protocolo são essenciais.

Burayot merupakan salah satu kue tradisional khas yang mempunyai tingkat kesulitan tinggi dalam proses pembuatannya dan hanya dapat ditemukan dibeberapa tempat di daerah Garut. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk memperoleh gambaran tentang sejarah, tahap persiapan, tahap pengolahan dan pengemasan burayot. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian kualitatif dengan metode deskriptif. Teknik pengumpulan data menggunakan pengamatan (observasi), wawancara (interview) dan dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa burayot berasal dari dua kata yakni bura/mura dan gayot/ngagayot yang pada awalnya disajikan pada saat acara khitanan. Tahap persiapan pembuatan burayot meliputi persiapan alat dan bahan, bahan yang khas dalam pembuatan burayot yaitu tepung beras segar yang dibuat dari jenis beras khas Garut, serta gula aren sebagai perasa dan pewarna, alat yang khas dalam pembuatan burayot yaitu cocolok/panusuk. Teknik pengolahan menggunakan teknik menggoreng dengan waktu yang singkat. Tahap pengemasan burayot dapat menggunakan plastik mika pada saat akan dijual. Pembuat burayot pada umumnya merupakan turun-temurun, karena pergeseran gaya hidup, kue tradisional yang dimakan pada saat acara khusus sekarang dimakan setiap orang walaupun tidak pada acara khusus, akan tetapi generasi muda pada saat ini sudah jarang untuk membuat kue tradisional ini. Hal ini terlihat dari banyaknya pembuat burayot yaitu ibu atau bapak yang sudah lanjut usia, sehingga jika tidak dipertahakan akan hilang dan kemungkinan kondisi ini terjadi pada kue tradisional lainnya. Rekomendasi dari penelitian ini yaitu mulai mendokumentasikan kue tradisional khas Garut lainnya yaitu Puputir

Composites using bio-materials with unique properties, such as spent coffee ground were developed for composite fillers. This study was conducted to produce samples under various mixing speed conditions. This study also determined effect of mixing speeds on particle homogeneity as well as composite dispersion in the final product. The composite dispersion was determined by an index based on a standard deviation of free-path spacing of filler particles using a digital microscope. Results showed that when using high-speed mixing, particle tends to agglomerate with particle clumps. We also obtained that faster mixing speed results more homogeneous mixture compared to slower speed. In short, slower speed can reach similar result in homogeneity levels, but it would require longer time for the mixing process.

Urban agriculture plays a significant role in national development by contributing towards food security, job creation, and income generation. This study aims to assess the effect of unemployment records in graduated students in the recovery of the agricultural sector and the input to food security. A combination of both quantitative and qualitative research methods was employed in this study. In the quantitative design, 129 randomly selected urban farmers, completed the self-administered close-ended questionnaires, whereas the statistical analysis presents the socio-demographic, economic, and other aspects of the households. Based on the study result, around 2500 students graduated annually from 29 high educational institutes in Gaza Strip. The unemployment rate is around 41%, therefore the graduated students found that urban agriculture is contributing to create more jobs opportunities and improving household income. The analysis showed that 18% of the urban farmers are illiterate, 31% passed primary education, 25% passed secondary education, and 26% are holding university degrees in different fields. It is highly recommend to include urban agriculture in the future plans of the ministry of labours, ministry of agriculture, and all relevant institutions to overcome the high unemployment records and to alleviate poverty in Gaza.

The applications of unmanned aerial vehicles have been extended through the recent decades and they are utilized for both civil and military applications. The urge to utilize unmanned aerial vehicles for civil purposes has elevated researchers and industries interest towards the mini unmanned aerial vehicle (MUAV) category due to its suitable configurations and capabilities for multidisciplinary civil purposes. This study is an effort to further enhance the aerodynamic efficiency of MUAVs through a parametric study of the wing and proposing an innovative bioinspired wing design. The research is conducted utilizing numerical simulation and experimental validation. This research provides a better understanding of different wing parameter(s) effect on the aerodynamic performance of the wing and mini unmanned aerial vehicles. A new wing configuration is designed, implemented and evaluated. The wing is named as Alpine since it is inspired by biomimicry of alpine swift bird. Evaluation of the new wing geometry shows that the Alpine wing geometry performs 35.9% more efficient compared to an existing wing with similar wing area. Hence, the aerodynamic efficiency optimization is achieved for the Alpine wing which helps to enhance the performance of MUAVs.

Effect of density on consolidation and creep parameters of a clay soil was investigated using a soil classified according to Unified  Soil  Classification  System  (USCS)  as  Clay  of  High plasticity (CH) and composing majorly of secondary minerals, including montmorillonite. The air-dried soil was compacted at five different compaction energy levels (Reduced Standard Proctor compaction energy, Standard Proctor compaction energy, West African compaction energy, Reduced Modified Proctor  compaction  energy,  and  Modified  Proctor compaction energy). Specimens for consolidation tests were molded  at  the  five  different  compaction  energy  levels (densities). The consolidation parameters (initial void ratio, compression  index,  and  preconsolidation  pressure)  were observed to be empirically related to the compaction energy. The  creep  parameters  (i.e.  primary  compression  index, secondary compression index, and magnitude of creep) were observed to increase with increases in loading to 387kN/m2, after  which  the  values  decreased.  Curves  resulting  from these relationships were observed to increase with increases in compaction energy level and tent towards straight line at Modified Proctor compaction energy. Maximum magnitude of creep estimated for three years was observed to reduce from 455.5 mm at Reduced Standard Proctor compaction energy through 268 mm at West African compaction energy to 247.4 mm at Modified Proctor compaction energy levels.

Mathematics is fundamentally important for Science and Technology, as well as in engineering. Mathematics is compulsory for students since all engineering subjects were Mathematically oriented. However, the preliminary study found that students’ achievement in Mathematics courses have been associated with three main factors, namely interest, attitude and learning habit, as in the KASH Model (Knowledge, Attitude, Skills and Habits). This Model stipulated that poor performance is not just lacking in knowledge and skills but also including poor attitude and habits. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the students’ level and relationship between interest, attitude and learning habit based on KASH Model. A total of 58 students were selected as a sample of the study, who enrolled in the Thermodynamics, Fluid Mechanics and Solid Mechanics subjects. A set of questionnaires with 21 items was used to collect data; a descriptively analysis was used to find the mean and percentage, as well as correlation index using Pearson. The results; high level of factor of interest, attitude and learning habit, and high correlation between interest, attitude and habit. The implication is that teaching and learning process must equally fostering all these variables to achieve a high level of students’ achievement, especially in Mathematics subjects.
Development of modes for straightening of hot-rolled strip in order to obtain rolled products for high-tech processing

Published: March 2021

Modern requirements for the quality indicators of hot rolled sheet steel are associated with maintaining high flatness of sheet metal during further processing by high-tech methods, for example, by laser or plasma cutting. When laser cutting a sheet it may bend due to the release of residual stresses that are unevenly distributed over the volume. The final stage in the production of hot rolled steel is straightening on roller straightening machines under cyclic alternating deformation. The solution to the problem is the optimal control of residual stresses at the main final stage of hot rolled sheet production when straightening strips on roller levelers under cyclic alternating deformation. The existing numerous approaches of calculating the parameters of the straightening on roller straightening machines do not allow determining the optimal modes that eliminate the initial inhomogeneous stress state of the hot rolled strip and ensure the minimum level of residual stresses in the rolled product. The paper substantiates the relevance of developing a methodology for selecting a strip straightening mode, which provides an expansion of the possibilities of the straightening process on roller straightening machines and obtaining hot rolled sheets with a minimum level of residual stresses and potential energy, suitable for plasma and laser cutting. The article describes the implementation of the method for selecting the mode of hot rolled strip straightening process based on the results of finite element modeling, confi rmed by experimental data obtained during leveling and subsequent cutting of sheets. The modes of straightening of strips with a thickness of 4 mm, 8 mm and 10 mm of steel grade S355MC have been calculated on 13-, 15- and 17-roller straightening machines of Severstal, providing minimum residual stresses, potential energy in sheets after straightening and deviations from the flatness of sheets during high-tech cutting. Based on industrial tests, the method for calculating straightening modes was introduced into production, the developed modes were accepted for use at Severstal. The proposed improvements of technology of the production of hot rolled sheet metal in the conditions of Severstal made it possible to obtain products suitable for laser cutting.
