Authors: Mariem Brahem , Wissal Messaoudi , Faouzi Khedher , Boubaker Jaouachi , Adolphe Dominique
Published: July 2019

The article evaluates the amount of the consumed sewing thread for women's underwear (underwear bras and panties). Based on the obtained findings, it was concluded that sewing thread amount depends enormously on the studied influential parameters. The present paper reports a contribution that allows industries and researchers to decrease the consumed amounts of sewing thread in case of women's underwear and panties The study takes into account the different stitch structures and fabric characteristics that are usually used. The effects of influential input parameters, such as fabric thickness, number of assembled layers, stitch density, and tension of the thread, are investigated. Useful models have been found and can be used by industries to accuracy predict the thread consumption for women's underwear and panties to launch the needed thread commands. The developed models use multiregressive method. In this study, the fabrics that have been considered are knitted fabrics because they are those used in women's underwear. We found that women's underwear bras consume more sewing threads than panties. Using linear regression method, good relationships (coefficients of correlation close to 1) between consumption behaviors and the investigated parameters such as fabric thickness, number of assembled layers, stitch number per centimeter, sizes and tension of threads, were found. Although, the increase of threads tension to sew female underwear decreases the consumed amount of threads, the increase of other studied parameters widely encourages the consumption values, especially for seams based on chain-stitch types.
Forest policy goals in Poland in light of the current forestry aims in Europe Part 3. European priorities for the forest policy in Polish programmes and strategies
Authors: Kaliszewski Adam
Published: July 2019

The aim of the paper is to review and evaluate Polish programmes and strategies centred on and related to forest, as well as national and transregional development strategies and priorities formulated at the european level. this work covers the ‘National Forest Policy’ and 28 other strategies, policies and programmes representing various forest-related policy areas, including environmental protection, agriculture and rural development, climate and energy as well as development strategies from 1997 to 2017.

The study shows that many of the priorities of the European forest policy have not been reflected in the ‘National Forest Policy’. These include, among others, adapting forests to climate change and enhancing their mitigation potential, enhancing the economic contribution of forestry to rural development, enhancing the role of the SFM in a green economy, securing the participation of all stakeholders in forest-related decision-making processes, improving communication in forestry and developing cross-sectoral cooperation. However, many of these forest-related issues have already been included in numerous strategic documents of other policy areas. As a result, many European forest policy priorities are scattered across Polish policy documents of different forest-related sectors and it raises justified concerns that inconsistencies and contradictions exist between them. Another matter of significant concern is that the issue of forests and forestry is barely mentioned in any of the examined development strategies. This may also indicate that the forest sector is getting more and more marginalized in the socioeconomic and political sector, as forest policy goals are defined and achieved within other policy areas and are practically absent in national and transregional development strategies.

Published: July 2019

Habitat fragmentation affects bat assemblages living in forests by changing species composition, species richness and population densities. The aim of this paper was to determine the structure of bat assemblages in fragmented forests of central Poland (Experimental Forest Station SGGW in Rogów) based on data concerning bat fauna of this area.

Our work is based on published as well as unpublished data collected between 2011–2017 and the two main methods employed during field work were: (1) evening and night bat netting, (2) detection of flying bats on transects or in points by using ultrasound detectors. 16 bat species were observed with the most common ones being serotine batEptesicus serotinus(Schreb.), common noctuleNyctalus noctula(Schreb.) and brown long-eared batPlecotus auritus(l.). less numerous in overall but frequently observed in some sites were the western barbastelleBarbastella barbastellus(Schreb.) and the Daubenton's batMyotis daubentonii(Kuhl). The following species occurred rarely: greater mouse-eared batMyotis myotis(Bork.), Natterer's batM. nattereri(Kuhl), whiskered batM. mystacinus(Kuhl), Brandt's batM. brandtii(evers.), northern batEptesicus nilssonii(Keys. & Blas.) parti-coloured batVespertilio murinusl., lesser noctuleNyctalus leisleri(Kuhl), common pipistrellePipistrellus pipistrellus(Schreb.), nathusius' pipistrelleP. nathusii(Keys. & Blas.), soprano pipistrelleP. pygmaeus(leach) and grey long-eared batPlecotus austriacus(Fish.).

Fragmented forests of the study area did not differ significantly in terms of bat species composition from other fragmented forests of central Poland (Płońsk Plain) nor the large forest complexes of the Bolimowska and Kampinoska Forests. In this study area, however, bat assemblages were characterized by a lower relative abundance of the common noctule and a higher relative abundance of the serotine bat as compared to assemblages in other forests of central Poland.

In conclusion, the forest fragmentation near Rogów does not significantly affect bat richness and fertilized habitats are suitable for relatively large populations of species such as the western barbastelle and lesser noctule.
Fumigate efficacy of Juniperus foetidissima essential oil and two terpenes against Phthorimaea operculella
Authors: Tayoub Ghaleb , Alorfi Malik , Ismail Hala
Published: July 2019

Introduction: Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is an important vegetable crop in Syria. Potato tuber moth Phthorimaea operculella is the main damaging pest of this crop. Many approaches were tried to control it.

Objectives: This study evaluates the insecticidal activity of Juniperus foetidissima essential oil and two monoterpenes against potato tuber moth using fumigation bioassays.

Methods: Essential oil was extracted from new plant branches of Juniperus foetidissima using Clevenger-type apparatus. Potato tuber moth Phthorimaea operculella, (adults, eggs, larvae, and pupae) were exposed to different concentrations of the essential oil of Juniperus foetidissima for various periods. The significance of differences between treatments at p<0.05 were evaluated by one-way analysis of variance using the mortality percentages data. The LC50 and LC90 were calculated by Probit analysis.

Results: Essential oil vapor with LC50: 0.3 μl/l air was very effective against potato tuber moth at the adult stage. However; adults sensitivity to monoterpenes varied: Nerol caused a 100% mortality at 0.025 μl/l air after 6 h, while the same concentration of citronellol caused 98% mortality. The 0.125 µl/l air concentration of the two compounds caused 100% mortality after 6 h.

Conclusion: Results suggest the possibility of using Juniperus foetidissima essential oil as a fumigant to control potato tuber moth infestation in stores.

Published: July 2019

Introduction: Recently, efforts regarding the discovery of the effectual components of plants possessing antimicrobial properties are advanced. Herbal essential oils are widely used for treatment of various diseases, and they play an important role in healthcare considerations.

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Cinnamomum verum, Eucalyptus globulus, Lavandula angustifolia and Mentha pulegium essential oils against Candida albicans and some pathogenic bacteria.

Methods: The antibacterial activity of four essential oils (EOs) against different microbial strains was evaluated using the disk diffusion method as well as determination of the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC), and bactericidal concentration (MBC). For Candida albicans, the MFC of the plant oils was determined using a macro broth dilution assay. A range of concentrations (50 to 0.2 mg/ml) were prepared in Mueller Hinton Broth medium in flasks. Tween 80 (0.01% v/v) was included to enhance oil solubility. Each flask was inoculated with 108 CFU/ml of C. albicans. The flasks were incubated at 35°C for 48 hours. From each flask 13 μl of culture was inoculated onto Mueller-Hinton Agar plates and incubated at 35°C for 48 h. The plates were observed and the MFC was determined as the lowest concentration of plant oil completely inhibiting the growth of C. albicans.

Results: The obtained results showed that all bacteria and yeasts tested were sensitive to cinnamon essential oil with an inhibition zone ranging from 22 to 39.33 mm and a MIC ranging from 0.20 mg/ml to 1.56 mg/ml. At low concentrations ranging from 0.2 to 3.13 mg/ml, this essential oil has shown the most important bactericidal effect. Eucalyptus essential oil showed the highest inhibitory effect on Staphylococcus aureus with a diameter of 21.33±1.15 mm. The antibacterial effect of mint indicates that the most sensitive bacterium is A. boumannii. However, S. enteritidis, C. albicans, K. pneumoni and P. aeruginosa are resistant germs whose inhibition diameter varies from 7.33±1.15 mm to 11.33±1.15 mm. Lavender EO has an inhibitory effect against S. aureus (20.67±1.15 mm) and an intermediate effect against Streptococcus pyogenes, Serratia marcescens and Enterococcus faecalis.

Conclusions: The antibacterial activity of essential oils, especially those of cinnamon against the strains studied, supports their potential use as a remedy against infectious microbial diseases.
The Incidence and Occurrence of Injuries to Junior Rugby League Players in a Tropical Environment
Authors: Inglis Paul Richard , Doma Kenji , Deakin Glen Bede
Published: July 2019

This study investigated the effect of the environment, jersey color and ground conditions on injury rates in junior rugby-league players in a tropical environment. Injury, environment and ground condition data were collected during each game, over one season (n = 12 rounds). The study investigated three teams (n = 64): one under-16 team in striped jerseys and two under-14 teams in black and orange jerseys. The injury rates for the under-16 team (83.3/1000 hrs) were higher than for the under-14 teams in black (69.9/1000 hrs) and orange (59.9/1000 hrs) jerseys. In the under-16 team, a negative correlation (r = -0.66, p < 0.05) was found between players’ injuries and heat index, while in the under-14 team in black jerseys, a positive correlation was observed (r = 0.90, p < 0.01), although in the under-14 team in orange, no significant correlation was found (r = 0.140, p > 0.05). In the under-14 team in black, a significant correlation (r = 0.80, p < 0.01) between players’ injuries and the temperature was observed. However, no correlations were found with any other variables per group (p > 0.05) and injury rates were not different between the teams (p > 0.05). While ground conditions had no effect on injury rates, it appears that the heat acted as a protection against injury for teams with striped and orange jerseys. However, black jerseys may put players at an increased risk of injury during hot and humid day games.

Published: July 2019

The aim of this study was to examine the effects of the performance level and race distance on pacing in ultra-triathlons (Double, Triple, Quintuple and Deca), wherein pacing is defined as the relative time (%) spent in each discipline (swimming, cycling and running). All finishers (n = 3,622) of Double, Triple, Quintuple and Deca Iron ultra-triathlons between 1985 and 2016 were analysed and classified into quartile groups (Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4) with Q1 being the fastest and Q4 the slowest. Performance of all non-finishers (n = 1,000) during the same period was also examined. Triple and Quintuple triathlons (24.4%) produced the highest rate of non-finishers, and Deca Iron ultra-triathlons produced the lowest rate (18.0%) (χ2 = 12.1, p = 0.007, φC = 0.05). For the relative swimming and cycling times (%), Deca triathletes (6.7 ± 1.5% and 48.8 ± 4.9%, respectively) proved the fastest and Double (9.2 ± 1.6% and 49.6 ± 3.6%) Iron ultra-triathletes were the slowest (p < 0.008) with Q4 being the fastest group (8.3 ± 1.6% and 48.8 ± 4.3%) and Q1 the slowest one (9.5 ± 1.5% and 50.9 ± 3.0%) (p < 0.001). In running, Double triathletes were relatively the fastest (41.2 ± 4.0%) and Deca (44.5 ± 5.4%) Iron ultra-triathletes the slowest (p < 0.001) with Q1 being the fastest (39.6 ± 3.3%) and Q4 the slowest group (42.9 ± 4.7%) (p < 0.001). Based on these findings, it was concluded that the fastest ultra-triathletes spent relatively more time swimming and cycling and less time running, highlighting the importance of the role of the latter discipline for the overall ultra-triathlon performance. Furthermore, coaches and ultra-triathletes should be aware of differences in pacing between Double, Triple, Quintuple and Deca Iron triathlons.

Published: July 2019

This study compared grappling motor actions of male mixed martial arts (MMA) athletes considering outcome types from Ultimate Fighting Championship ( UFC) bouts. A validated protocol of technical-tactical analysis was utilized as in previous studies addressing MMA performance analysis, and Kruskall Wallis and U Mann-Whitney tests were applied to compare effects of types of outcome decisions (Split vs. Unanimous Decision vs. Knockout-KO/Technical-knockout-TKO vs. Submission). Unanimous Decision showed higher frequencies of takedowns attempted/round than KO/TKO and Submission outcomes (p ≤ 0.05; 1.9 ± 1.9 vs. 1.3 ± 1.4 vs. 1.0 ± 1.1 attempts). Bouts with Split Decision demonstrated higher takedowns/round than bouts ended by Submission (p = 0.048; 0.4 ± 0.7 vs. 0.2 ± 0.6 attempts). TKO/KO showed lower values of sweeps/round (p = 0.008, 0.0 ± 0.0 vs. 0.1 ± 0.3 attempts) and takedowns attempted/round (p = 0.014, 1.3 ± 1.4 vs. 2.0 ± 1.6 attempts) than bouts ending by Split Decision. The Submission outcome showed a higher frequency of submissions attempted/round than KO/TKO and Unanimous Decision (p ≤ 0.041, 0.3 ± 0.7 vs 0.2 ± 0.5 vs 0.2 ± 0.5). These results show a large specificity in the type of grappling attack/situation according to the strategy to end the combat. These results also show that the grappling strategy and tactics are variable depending on the strengths and weaknesses of the athletes, and can be used by coaches and athletes to develop specific training programs.

Published: July 2019

Our purpose was to assess the 10 Hz Viper GPS devices’ validity and reliability (STATSport) in both instantaneous and mean speed measuring in accelerations and decelerations in straight-line running conditions. Eight amateur team sport players participated in the study, performing firstly 21 x 40 m sprints at submaximal incremental speed, and secondly 21 x 40 m sprints, with the first stage consisting of submaximal incremental speed, and the second stage of subsequent submaximal decreasing speed. Criteria systems used to evaluate the GPS validity were a radar gun for instantaneous speed, and timing-gates for mean speed. Reliability was measured with two GPS devices carried by the same athlete, running 10 x (20 m + 20 m) sprints with a 180º change of direction and a 10 s inter-set rest interval. Results showed an agreement between GPS devices and the criteria systems measuring instantaneous speed (r = 0.98; standardized mean bias (SMB) = -0.07; standard typical error (STE) = 0.22) and mean speed (r = 0.99; SMB = 0.38; STE = 0.17). The reliability study presented a nearly perfect correlation between devices, a trivial SMB and a small STE (r = 0.97; SMB = 0.04; STE = 0.23). 10 Hz GPS devices are an adequate solution to monitor straight-line running speed in acceleration and deceleration conditions, but we would like to draw attention to the small errors and bias detected, such as the speed overestimation compared with timing gates.

Published: July 2019

Investigations of trunk strength with high-level athletes are limited. The purpose of this study was to compare maximal concentric isokinetic trunk extension and flexion torque, power, and strength ratios between high-level weightlifters (n = 20), wrestlers (n = 20) and a control (n = 25) population. Isokinetic dynamometry was used to evaluate peak torque, power and strength ratios during seated trunk extension/flexion actions at 60°/s and 180°/s. There were no significant anthropometric differences between groups. Overall, trunk isokinetic force variables as a function of the increase in angular velocity, showed a decrease in peak torque, but an increase in power (athletes and controls). Compared to the control group, athletes demonstrated significantly higher trunk extension torque (+67.05 N·m, ES = 0.81) and power (+49.28 N·m, ES = 0.82) at 60°/s and 180°/s, respectively. Athletes produced significantly greater trunk flexion-extension ratios at 60°/s and 180°/s (ES = 0.80-0.47) than controls. Weightlifters and wrestlers exhibited significantly higher extensor than flexor torque at all angular velocities. Weightlifters demonstrated greater torque (ES = 0.79) than wrestlers at 60°/s. The wrestlers’ average power was significantly higher (ES = 0.43) than weightlifters at 180°/s. There were no significant ratio differences between wrestlers (66.23%) and weightlifters (72.06%). Weightlifters had stronger extensor muscles at 60°/s, whereas wrestlers had higher power at 180°/s for extensor muscles. It was postulated that the extensor muscles were stronger than the flexors to ensure trunk stabilisation, and for prevention of injuries. These differences seem to be associated to the movements that occur in each sport in terms of both muscle actions and contractile forces.
On the spatial differentiation of energy transitions: Exploring determinants of uneven wind energy developments in the Czech Republic
Authors: Frantál Bohumil , Nováková Eva
Published: July 2019

Wind energy research is dominated by studies of local acceptance (or not) of wind farms and comparative studies at a national level. Research on the spatial differentiation of wind energy developments at the regional level is still insufficient, however. This study provides new empirical evidence for the extent to which regional differences in the deployment of wind energy are related to specific environmental and socioeconomic factors, by a statistical analysis of data for districts in the Czech Republic. Unlike previous studies, we found that the installed capacity of wind energy cannot be well predicted by wind potential, land area and population density in an area. In the Czech Republic, wind farms more likely have been implemented in more urbanised, environmentally deprived coal-mining areas that are affected by economic depression. It seems that in environmentally deprived areas, wind energy is more positively accepted as an alternative source to coal, and the economic motivation (financial benefits for municipalities) can have a greater effect on local acceptance, while public opposition is less efficient due to lower social capital and involvement in political matters. Based on these results, some implications for the planning and spatial targeting of new wind farms are discussed.
“Speaking Pictures”: Ways of Seeing and Reading in English Renaissance Culture
Authors: Szőnyi György E.
Published: July 2019

Neither in Antiquity nor in the Middle Ages could literary theory settle the debate about the primacy of inspiration or imitation, Plato or Aristotle. It was in the Renaissance that serious efforts were made to reconcile the two theories, and one of the best syntheses came from England. Philosophical and aesthetical syncretism between Plato and Aristotle makes Sidney’s Defense of Poesie a non-dogmatic and particularly inspiring foundation for English literary theory. Also, Philip Sidney’s notion of “speaking pictures” needs to be revisited, in view of the ontology and epistemology of art, as a ground-breaking model for understanding the multimediality of cultural representations. The first part of the following essay is devoted to this. Furthermore, it will be examined how Sidney’s visual poetics influenced and at the same time represented emblematic ways of seeing and thinking in Elizabethan culture. These are particularly conspicuous in the influence of emblem theory in England and in Renaissance literary practice related to that. In the final section I intend to show that Shakespeare’s intriguing, although implicit, poetics is a telling example of how Renaissance visual culture enabled a model that put equal stress on inspiration and imitation, and also on the part of the audience, whose imagination had (and still has) to work in cooperation with the author’s intention.
Relics of the Unseen Presence? Evocations of Native American Indian Heritage and Western-Hero Road Poems in Bruce Baillie’s Mass for the Dakota Sioux and Quixote
Authors: Boczkowska Kornelia
Published: July 2019

In this paper I discuss the ways in which Bruce Baillie’s Mass for the Dakota Sioux (1964) and Quixote (1965) evoke Native American Indian heritage and western-hero road poems by challenging the concept of the American landscape and incorporating conventions traditionally associated with cinéma pur, cinéma vérité, and the city symphony. Both pictures, seen as largely ambiguous and ironic travelogue forms, expose their audiences to “the sheer beauty of the phenomenal world” (Sitney 2002: 182) and nurture nostalgic feelings for the lost indigenous civilizations, while simultaneously reinforcing the image of an American conquistador, hence creating a strong sense of dialectical tension. Moreover, albeit differing in a specific use of imagery and editing, the films rely on dense, collage-like and often superimposed images, which clearly contribute to the complexity of mood conveyed on screen and emphasize the striking conceptual contrast between white American and Indian culture. Taking such an assumption, I argue that although frequently referred to as epic road poems obliquely critical of the U.S. westward expansion and manifest destiny, the analyzed works’ use of plot reduction, observational and documentary style as well as kinaesthetic visual modes and rhythmic editing derive primarily from the cinéma pur’s camerawork, the cinéma vérité’s superstructure, and the city symphony’s spatial arrangement of urban environments. Such multifaceted inspirations do not only diversify Mass’ and Quixote’s non-narrative aesthetics, but also help document an intriguing psychogeography of the 1960s American landscapes, thus making a valuable contribution to the history of experimental filmmaking dealing with Native American Indian heritage.
The Red and the Black: Images of American Indians in the Italian Political Landscape
Authors: Mariani Giorgio
Published: July 2019

In Italy, over the last decades, both the Left and the Right have repeatedly employed American Indians as political icons. The Left and the Right, that is, both adopted and adapted certain real or often outright invented features of American Indian culture and history to promote their own ideas, values, and political campaigns. The essay explores how well-established stereotypes such as those of the ecological Indian, the Indian as victim, and the Indian as fearless warrior, have often surfaced in Italian political discourse. The “Indiani Metropolitani” student movement resorted to “Indian” imagery and concepts to rejuvenate the languages of the old socialist and communist left, whereas the Right has for the most part preferred to brandish the Indian as an image of a bygone past, threatened by modernization and, especially, by immigration. Indians are thus compared to contemporary Europeans, struggling to resist being invaded by “foreign” peoples. While both the Left and the Right reinvent American Indians for their own purposes, and could be said to practice a form of cultural imperialism, the essay argues that the Leftist appropriations of the image of the Indian were always marked by irony. Moreover, while the Right’s Indians can be seen as instances of what Walter Benjamin (1969) described as Fascism’s aestheticization of politics, groups like the Indiani Metropolitani tried to politicize the aesthetics.

Enhanced Luminous Flux of White Led using Flat Dual-layer Remote Phosphor Configuration
Authors: Nguyen Doan Quoc Anh , Phan Xuan Le , Lee Hsiao-Yi
Published: July 2019

The luminous flux of two different dual-remote phosphor structures concluding flat dual-remote phosphor (FDRP) and concave dual-remote phosphor (CDRP) is compared in this paper. The outcomes demonstrate that the FDRP structure is more lucrative than the CDRP structure. The article additionally clears up that in CDRP structure, the distance between two phosphor layers (d1) and the distance between the phosphor layer with the LED surface (d2) enormously affect the optical properties. Moreover, the difference in d1 and d2 causes a dramatic variance in the scattering and absorption properties of the remote phosphor layer and hence hugely affects WLEDs' illumination ability and chromatic uniformity. In order to limit these problems, the correlated color temperature of WLEDs, which is essentially a gauge of how the chromaticity observed when a "black body" radiator is warmed to a foreordained temperature, should be balanced out at 8500K when d1 and d2 vary, requiring a suitable modification of the YAG:Ce3+ phosphor's concentration. When d1 = d2 = 0, the scattering and assimilation in the remote phosphor layer become lowermost, prompting the most reduced viability in both shading quality and iridescent transition, which is confirmed dependent on the unearthly impacts created when these two separations are not same. Then again, when d1 and d2 get bigger, so does the dispersing surface, and the mixing of the blue beams with yellow beams swings to be increasingly homogeneous. This gives the insignificant different white light yet can't achieve any enhancement for luminous flux. According to the researched results, the luminous flux reaches a peak at 1020 lm when d1 = 0.08 mm or d2 = 0.63 mm whereas the chromatic inhomogeneity hits the lowest point when d1 = 0.64 mm or d2 = 1.35 mm.This is an Open Access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/), which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium provided the original work is properly cited.

Swarm Inteligence in Virtual Environment
Authors: Revay Lukas , Zelinka Ivan
Published: July 2019

To simulate some behavior of swarms, the malware was selected as a carrier of intelligence. This article describes the current solution which is fully virtual. This gives us a possibility to interfere environment and see how the improved malware will react. This common intention provides improvements related to docker images and also architectural that is related to code changes. Communication over network together with cooperation on particle level is a key part of this solution. Malware movements are the same as movements of swarm particles, which fully fit this requirement. Significance is also put on the swarming part, where the decision which swarms algorithm to utilize is crucial. The outcome from this work should be partly practical and theoretical related to environment setup, particles communication, movements and coordination which finally finishes in distributed denial of service (DDoS) coordinated attack via hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) to some server. After this theoretical work, the practical simulation will be done to see if the swarm attack brings expected results.

Analisis Kekuatan Struktur Dermaga Apung untuk Pelabuhan Perintis
Authors: Kadir Abdul , Hardjono Soegeng
Published: July 2019

Analysis of the Strength of Floating Dock Structures for Pioneer Ports: Geographically, Indonesia's position is very strategic towards trade traffic because it is located between two continents and two oceans. This condition needs to be supported by inter-island transportation facilities and infrastructure including adequate ports. Port planning needs to be adapted to Indonesia's natural conditions which are in the area of the most active tectonic plate fire ring and contribute greatly to the occurrence of earthquakes on earth. One alternative port designs that can be developed is floating docks that are designed and planned to be able to withstand internal loads from the cargo and external loads from the environment in the form of water fills, waves and ship collision forces when anchored. The structure of the floating dock has a dynamic nature where the structure of the pier will be part of the load buoyancy. Thus, the greater the weight of the structure, the smaller the capacity of the dock will be. This paper provides an example of the strength analysis of the structure of the pioneer floating dock using Finite Element Method for stress and strain analysis due to the lateral and vertical loads that occur. The results obtained from the analysis carried out identify that the stress and strain values were still below the allowable critical value which mean that they were still safe.Keywords: Floating dock, loading, strength structure. Secara geografis, posisi Indonesia sangat strategis terhadap lalu lintas perdagangan karena terletak antara dua benua dan dua samudra. Kondisi tersebut perlu didukung oleh sarana dan prasarana transportasi antar pulau termasuk pelabuhan yang memadai. Perencanaan pelabuhan perlu disesuaikan dengan kondisi alam Indonesia yang berada pada daerah rangkaian cincin api lempeng tektonik paling aktif dan berkontribusi besar terhadap terjadinya gempa bumi. Salah satu alternatif desain pelabuhan yang bisa dikembangkan adalah dermaga apung yang didesain dan direncanakan untuk menahan beban baik beban internal akibat muatan maupun beban eksternal dari lingkungan yang berupa tumpuan air, hempasan gelombang, maupun gaya tumbukan kapal saat sandar. Struktur dermaga apung memilki sifat yang dinamis dimana struktur dermaga akan menjadi bagian dari beban daya apung dermaga, sehingga semakin besar berat struktur maka akan semakin kecil kapasitas dermaga. Tulisan ini memberikan contoh analisis kekuatan struktur dermaga apung perintis yang menggunakan Finite Element Method untuk analisa tegangan dan regangan akibat beban lateral dan vertikal yang terjadi. Hasil yang diperoleh dari analisa yang dilakukan  yakni bahwa nilai tegangan dan regangan yang didapatkan masih dibawah nilai kritis yang diizinkan sehingga masih dalam kondisi aman.Kata kunci : dermaga terapung, pembebanan, kekuatan struktur.
INSERÇÃO DA JUSTIÇA NEGOCIADA NO DIREITO PENAL BRASILEIRO: PLEA BARGAINING

Este trabalho tem por objetivo demonstrar que a situação do direito penal brasileiro deve ser modificada, porque o sistema não acompanha a evolução da sociedade, sendo necessária a implementação do direito penal voltado para a eficiência e para a funcionalidade dos aparelhos estatais incumbidos do tratamento penal, confrontando, assim, a visão garantista que tem o direito penal como instrumento de defesa social, de interesses do acusado e da vítima, bem como de limite das interferências do Estado, na questão criminal, que asseguram os direitos, garantias e liberdades individuais. Assim, defende-se a aplicação da plea bargaining, em sentido estrito, que é um sistema extraído do direito alienígena, que consiste em uma negociação entre o ofensor e a acusação, objetivando recíprocas concessões e contemplando a declaração de culpa do acusado (guilty plea) ou a declaração dele de que não pretende contestar a acusação (plea of nolo contendere). A última forma é aplicável no Brasil quando praticados crimes de menor potencial ofensivo, prevendo a proposta de aplicação imediata de pena (transação penal), disciplinada pela Lei no 9.099/95, artigo 76; e a guilty plea, por sua vez, distingue-se por trazer a assunção da culpa por parte do ofensor, causando responsabilidade penal e consequências extrapenais.

A escola enquanto instituição e espaço de socialização humana é um direito de todos os cidadãos e um dever do Estado. Nesse cenário, o direito à educação básica de qualidade perpassa a ideia de um currículo formal taxativo mínimo em seu conteúdo, uma vez que há uma preocupação em não se desenvolver um conceito ou objeto metodológico propriamente dito, mas há uma inclinação no sentido de integrar todo conteúdo curricular, dando um novo fundamento, com saberes atualizados e transversais ao ensino. O objetivo deste estudo é demonstrar a importância da educação ambiental no cenário de colapso ecológico que vive o século XXI, com vistas a necessidade de inovação curricular sob o aspecto formal. Posteriormente, a busca pela sustentabilidade, eixo da questão ambiental, será discutida sob o prisma do desafio educacional do consumo consciente como mecanismo ou proposta de incorporação aos currículos escolares.

In estimating the potential of the region, information and benchmarks are needed that are real in the field and are desired by the community concretely. One of the financial benchmarks that can be used to see regional readiness in implementing autonomy is to measure how far the financial capacity of a region is. While the regional financial capacity is usually measured by the amount of contribution of Regional Original Income (PAD). Data collection techniques used were interviews and documentation and data analysis techniques using qualitative descriptive. The results of the study using SWOT analysis showed that the strength of Bandar Lampung City Revenue Service in an effort to increase local revenue is to have qualified human resources (quite competent), the potential of the Bandar Lampung City Revenue Office is quite high quality in carrying out its main tasks and functions, there are job descriptions clear in carrying out their main tasks and functions and supporting adequate operational budget. The weaknesses are the weak function of coordination between and inter agencies, the weak monitoring function, inadequate office facilities and infrastructure and the weak application of sanctions for violators of taxes and levies. Potential objects as well as high taxpayers and retributions and strong political support for the elected Mayor and Deputy Mayor are opportunities for the Bandar Lampung City Revenue Service in an effort to increase local revenues and challenges or threats of Bandar Lampung City Revenue Service in an effort to increase local revenue is the scope of the area of potential that is quite broad and the low public awareness of taxpayers and levies.Keywords: Increased PAD, SWOT Analysis
The Self-Efficacy for Home Exercise Programs Scale: Development and Psychometric Properties
Authors: Picha Kelsey J. , Lester Morgan , Heebner Nicholas R. , Abt John P. , Usher Ellen L. , Capilouto Gilson , Uhl Tim L.
Published: July 2019

Background

The Self-Efficacy for Home Exercise Programs Scale (SEHEPS) was developed to help clinicians evaluate patients' self-efficacy for performing prescribed home exercise programs. Prior to clinical adoption, the scale's psychometric properties need to be examined.

Objective

To determine the psychometric properties of the SEHEPS.

Methods

Eighty-one patients (32 men, 49 women; mean ± SD age, 42 ± 17 years) with varying musculoskeletal conditions participated in this cohort study. Patients were given a home exercise program at the initial physical therapy visit and completed the SEHEPS and a modified Self-Efficacy for Exercise (SEE) scale. The SEHEPS is a 12-item patient-reported questionnaire designed to assess self-efficacy for prescribed home exercise. Patients rated their confidence on a 7-point scale that ranged from 0 (not confident) to 6 (very confident). Total scores ranged from 0 (low self-efficacy) to 72 (high self-efficacy). We assessed the internal consistency of the SEHEPS using Cronbach's alpha and its test-retest reliability using an intraclass correlation coefficient. Convergent validity between the SEHEPS and SEE scale was evaluated with a Spearman correlation.

Results

High internal consistency (α = .96) and good test-retest reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.88; SEM, 4; minimal detectable change at the 95% confidence level, 12) were demonstrated. The SEHEPS was strongly correlated with the SEE scale (ρ = 0.83, P<.01), indicating strong convergent validity.

Conclusion

The SEHEPS demonstrates excellent internal consistency and convergent validity with the SEE scale. Overall, the SEHEPS is a clinically useful tool to evaluate a patient's self-efficacy in home-based musculoskeletal exercise programs. This scale can be used prior to prescribing a home exercise program for patients with musculoskeletal conditions.

Published: July 2019

Background

Clinical interpretation of patient-reported outcome measures is an essential step in patient-centered care. Interpretation of scores derived from the Neck Functional Status Computerized Adaptive Test (NFS-CAT) has not been studied.

Objectives

To (1) assess the reliability of point estimates and improvement scores, (2) determine thresholds of minimal clinically important improvement (MCII), and (3) develop a functional staging model to facilitate clinical interpretation of NFS-CAT scores.

Methods

A secondary retrospective cohort analysis was performed using data from patients aged 14 to 89 years who started an episode of care for neck impairments during 2016–2017 and completed the NFS-CAT at admission. The reliability of point estimates and of improvement scores was derived from the NFS-CAT standard error of measurement. The MCII was estimated by combining distribution- and anchor-based approaches. A functional staging model was developed to describe clinical meaningfulness of the quantitative scores provided by the NFS-CAT.

Results

Of 250 741 patients who completed the NFS-CAT at admission (mean ± SD age, 54 ± 16 years; 65% female), 169±039 (67%) also completed the NFS-CAT at discharge. The standard error of measurement was stable across the measurement continuum, ranging from 3.7 to 3.9 NFS-CAT points. Minimal detectable improvement was 6.8 points at the 90% confidence level. The estimate of the MCII was 8.1 points, with more change points needed to achieve the MCII for patients with lower baseline scores. Large rates of functional staging change during treatment were observed, demonstrating responsiveness of the functional staging model.

Conclusion

This study demonstrated how the NFS-CAT can be interpreted to better assist clinicians and patients with neck impairments during outpatient rehabilitation.

On-field Rehabilitation Part 1: 4 Pillars of High-Quality On-field Rehabilitation Are Restoring Movement Quality, Physical Conditioning, Restoring Sport-Specific Skills, and Progressively Developing Chronic Training Load
Authors: Buckthorpe Matthew , Della Villa Francesco , Della Villa Stefano , Roi Giulio Sergio
Published: July 2019

Synopsis

Outcomes following long-term injuries such as anterior cruciate ligament rupture are unsatisfactory. To improve outcomes, we must improve rehabilitation practices. One aspect of the return-to-sport process that has received limited attention is on-field rehabilitation. This article is part 1 of a 2-part series aimed at discussing the important elements of on-field rehabilitation and illustrating how they can be applied across a 5-stage on-field rehabilitation program following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. The intention of on-field rehabilitation is to support athletes in their transition back to sport after injury, from standard rehabilitation to return to the team or practice. In part 1, we describe 4 pillars of high-quality on-field rehabilitation: (1) restoring movement quality, (2) physical conditioning, (3) restoring sport-specific skills, and (4) progressively developing chronic training load. In part 2, we describe how these pillars may be combined into a 5-stage on-field rehabilitation program to help athletes transition to team practice and match play following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.

Установки сильных магнитных полей широко применяются в различных областях научных исследований и промышленности. Важнейшим компонентом всех магнитных систем является индуктор (соленоид). Для создания сильного магнитного поля уже недостаточно одного только усовершенствования конструкции соленоидов. Традиционные электротехнические материалы и проводники неспособны выдерживать колоссальные механические и температурные нагрузки, поэтому на смену им приходят совершенно новые перспективные материалы, к которым отно- сятся и микрокомпозитные Cu-Nb проводники. Эти микрокомпозитные материалы отличаются уникальной структурой, высокими механическими характеристиками и хорошей электропроводностью. Одной из важнейших нерешенных проблем остается создание надежных неразьемных соединений и поиск новых технологий их изготовления, поскольку большинство таких магнитных установок после начала их эксплуатации должны оставаться неразьемными. В настоящее время для соединения проводников обычно применяют только разьемные резьбовые или паяные соединения, не отличающиеся на практике высокой надежностью. В данной работе представлен обзор: особенностей структуры и характеристик Cu-Nb проводников, применяемых в установках для сильных магнитных полей; специфики производства данных композитных проводников; технологических проблем при их соединении сваркой; результов экспериментальных исследований свойств сварных соединенений, которые были выполнены, методом термитной сварки.
