Authors: ARSLAN Mükerrem , EKREN Erdi
Published: July 2018

Humankind
has witnessed various natural events since ancient times. Myths have been the
best reflector of this situation. The plants that are given to humans as a gift
by the gods, have an important place in mythology. People used plants for various
purposes such as food, warming, defense, tapping their feelings, and most
importantly finding healing in the history. As the ages progressed, with the
development of medical science, the importance of medicinal and aromatic plants
used for the purpose of healing has also increased and it has become a big
market that deals with various professions. Our country has three different
floristic regions, various geographical features and climate varieties. So it
has a very important potential about medicinal and aromatic plants. In this
study; it was given that some information about usage of the medical and
aromatic plants, naturally growing in Turkey, and their myths. It was mentioned
that their importance at different cultures and opportunities of usage in landscape
architecture works. As a result, it is emphasized that the usage of natural
plant species at landscape architectural application works and the importance
of medicinal and aromatic plants at plant design works.
Thermal Efficiency of Combined Cycle Power Plant
Authors: Rajesh R. , Kishore P. S.
Published: July 2018

Now a day’s power generation is most important for
every country. This power is generated by some thermal
cycles. But single cycle cannot be attain complete power
requirements and its efficiency also very low so that to fulfill
this requirements to combine two or more cycles in a single
power plant then we can increase the efficiency of the power
plant. Its increased efficiency is more than that of if the plant
operated on single cycle. In which we are using two different
cycles and these two cycles are operated by means of different
working mediums. These type of power plants we can called
them like combined cycle power plants. In combined cycle
power plants above cycle is known as topping cycle and below
cycle is known as bottoming cycle. The above cycle generally
brayton cycle which uses air as a working medium. When the
power generation was completed the exhaust gas will passes
in to the waste heat recovery boiler. Another cycle also
involved in bottoming cycle. This cycle works on the basis on
rankine cycle. In which steam is used as working medium.
The main component in bottoming cycle is waste heat
recovery boiler. It will receive exhaust heat from the gas
turbine and converts water in to steam. The steam used for
generating power by expansion on steam turbine. Combined
cycle power plants are mostly used in commercial power
plants.In this paper we are analyzing one practical
combined cycle power plant. In practical conditions due to
some losses it can not be generates complete power. So that
we are invistigated why it is not give that much of power and
the effect of various operating parameters such as maximum
temperature and pressure of rankine cycle, gas turbine inlet
temperature and pressure ratio of Brayton cycle on the net
output work and thermal efficiency of the combine cycle
power plant.The outcome of this work can be utilized in order to
facilitate the design of a combined cycle with higher efficiency
and output work. Mathematical calculations and simple
graphs in ms excel, and auto cad has been carried out to
study the effects and influences of the above mentioned
parameters on the efficiency and work output.

Drones can monitor beach litter 40x faster than people
Authors: Open Communications for The Ocean OCTO
Published: July 2018

Marine litter is predominately plastic, which typically floats in water, causing much debris to wash up on the world’s beaches. While some studies have focused on estimating the total debris floating in the ocean, estimates of beached litter are typically only compiled at the local level. On beaches, marine litter is typically estimated visually -- often with a small group of trained volunteers who sample the debris within random transects. This process can take a few hours for each beach, thus scaling up to a considerable effort if one is intending to monitor long stretches of beach multiple times a year. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), colloquially known as drones, could offer a much faster and efficient monitoring process. The authors present a methodology for using drones to take pictures of beaches, and then using machine learning techniques to automatically count and categorize litter in these photos. Ideally, this methodology would take just one trained individual a few minutes to sample an entire beach.
A Note on the Possible Existence of Underlying Natural Meditative State
Authors: Reddy J. Shashi Kiran , Roy Sisir
Published: July 2018

Owing to its benefits on various cognitive aspects, emotions and one’s wellbeing meditation have drawn much interest from several researchers and common public alike. We have different meditation practices associated with numerous cultures and traditions across the globe. In addition, current literature also suggests distinct differences in neural oscillatory activity among different practices of meditation. Since these diverse practices influence in a different way, they contribute to distinct physiological and psychological effects. Though this is the case, we want to find out if there is an underlying commonality among all these seemingly distinct practices. Through this paper, we want to emphasize that though these techniques and practices may appear different on the periphery, they are all supposed to eventually lead in the same state of experience; a natural meditative state (which is discussed in various spiritual traditions as a goal of meditation). This is where the outer diversity in practices and techniques collapses to an inner unitary state of conscious experience. In this context, we would also like to make a few comments on the way contemporaries regard different practices of meditation
Reduced association-memory for negative information: impact of confidence and interactive imagery during study
Authors: Caplan Jeremy , Sommer Tobias , Madan Christopher R , Fujiwara Esther
Published: July 2018

Although item-memory for emotional information is enhanced, memory for associations between items is impaired for negative, emotionally arousing compared to neutral information. We tested two possible mechanisms underlying this impairment, using picture pairs: 1) higher confidence in one’s own ability to memorise negative information may cause participants to under-study negative pairs; 2) better interactive imagery for neutral pairs could facilitate association-memory for neutral more than for negative pairs. Tested with associative recognition, we replicated the impairment of association-memory for negative relative to neutral pairs. We also replicated the result that confidence in future memory (judgments of learning) was higher for negative than neutral pairs. Inflated confidence could not explain the impairment of associative recognition memory: Judgements of learning were positively correlated with association-memory success for both, negative and neutral pairs. However, neutral pairs were rated higher in their conduciveness to interactive imagery than negative pairs, and this difference in interactive imagery showed a robust relationship to the association-memory difference. Thus, association-memory reductions for negative information are not due to differences in encoding effort. Instead, interactive imagery may be less effective for encoding of negative than neutral pairs.
Attachment Styles and Parasocial Relationships: A Collectivist Society Perspective
Authors: Mitchell Charles , Dinkha Juliet , Dakhli Mourad
Published: July 2018

In this study we investigate parasocial relationships in media; more specifically we explore why audience members fashion attachments with television personalities. The study aligns with previous research in the area by Cole and Leets (1999) that looked at attachments formed with media figures and the correlation to level of attachments in real-life relationships. In their study, Cole and Leets (1999) used a three-dimensional attachment scale that included anxious-ambivalent, avoidant, and secure, and found those with higher insecurity or unstable real-life relationships have stronger parasocial relationships. We surveyed university age respondents and we used the same scales as Cole and Leets (1999) to examine whether in Kuwait, where dating violates social norms and looser bonds are found outside of the home, that stronger parasocial relationships with media personalities will be found because of the need to fulfill relationship needs outside of family. Our hypotheses in this chapter is that higher levels of anxious-ambivalents and avoidants both will be found due to the strict collectivist nature of the society forcing many to compensate for lack of real world relationships by forming mediated bonds. Moreover, we posited and discovered that that these two groups also showed the highest levels of parasocial relationships in our sample.
Task instructions modulate unit-decade binding in two-digit number representation
Authors: Faulkenberry Thomas J. , Cruise Alexander , Shaki Samuel
Published: July 2018

Previous studies have found decomposed processes, as well as holistic processes, in the representation of two-digit numbers. The present study investigated the influence of task instruction on such processes. Participants completed both magnitude and parity tasks in one of three instructional conditions, where they were asked to either consider two-digit numbers as a whole or to focus on one specific digit. In two experiments, we found that when participants were asked to consider the two digits as an integrated number, they always exhibited a unit-decade compatibility effect, indicating a failure of selective attention on the digit relevant to the given task. However, the mere presence of the neighboring digit is not a sufficient condition for the compatibility effect: when participants were explicitly asked to process a specific digit, their success/failure to selectively ignore the irrelevant digit depended on task requirements. Further, computer mouse tracking indicated that the locus of the compatibility effect was related to late response-related processing. The results signify the deep involvement of top-down processes in unit-decade binding for two-digit number representation.

Authors: Recalde Ricardo Javier , Gordon Villalba Paulina del Rocío , Marizande Lozada María Fernanda , García Orozco Lucas
Published: July 2018

La falta de datos sobre la caracterización en los pueblos de etnia indígena en la provincia de Tungurahua, las consecuencias del embarazo en adolescentes y el aumento del índice de gestantes a temprana edad, justificó el presente estudio. Objetivo: Describir la percepción de las consecuencias del embarazo en adolescentes en una parroquia rural indígena de los andes del Ecuador. Materiales y Métodos: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo de corte transversal que incluyó a 247 alumnos con rango de edad de 14 a 24 años (=16) de una Unidad Educativa Andina a quienes se les entrego una encuesta auto aplicada. Se utilizaron métodos estadìsticos descriptivos. Resultados: Del total de participantes, los del sexo masculino (53,6%) dicen conocer las consecuencias del embarazo en adolescentes. La percepción de la muerte en adolescentes, secundaria alguna complicación del embarazo, son elevados en las mujeres (58.8% p=0.01). Los hombres se auto perciben  más en depresión y las mujeres en el fracaso del proyecto de vida (p=0.03). Las mujeres piensan en escases de oportunidades y los hombres en ser excluidos (p=0.01). Las mujeres manifestaron que la mejor estrategia para la prevención del embarazo en adolescentes es la consejería (p=0.05). La preguntas que indagaron la relación entre exclusión y ser de raza indígena, es mayor en  comparación con la mestiza (p=0.04). Discusión: Las prestaciones de los servicios de salud, deben responder a los criterios interculturales de los pueblos indígenas. Los programas de intervención en la prevención de embarazos en adolescentes no deben generalizar procedimientos que no se apegan a la cultura de los pueblos ni a su correcto financiamiento. La participación activa de los adolescentes a través dela creación de líneas base de investigación contribuirán a disminuir la problemática en forma efectiva.
Enfermedad de Hirschsprung, a propósito de un caso
Authors: Culcay Delgado Joshua I. , Arias Sánchez Néstor , Cervantes García Carlos Andrés , Valdivieso Menéndez Félix J. , Fernández Fernández María I.
Published: July 2018

Introducción: La Enfermedad de Hirschsprung (EH) es dentro del contexto clínico-quirúrgico una de las patologías pediátricas que menor incidencia posee, representando a penas el 2,7% de todas ellas según datos del Colegio Americano de Pediatría (ACP). Sin embargo, su fisiopatología y su comportamiento clínico regido por la edad del paciente son las principales variables que complican el diagnóstico y dan errores de hasta un 35% (ACP). La mortalidad de los pacientes puede ascender hasta un 65% cuando la EH se complica con un cuadro de enterocolitis necrotizante, en un paciente que no se ha conseguido la eliminación de meconio dentro de las 12 primeras horas de vida  deberá sospecharse de EH, siempre tomando en cuenta la edad del paciente y recordando que en pretérminos el retraso del mismo puede considerarse normal, mientras que en  el caso de pacientes más grandes de edad la incidencia de la patología es menor, sin embargo la probabilidad diagnóstica no debe de ser menospreciada. La sepsis de origen abdominal y enterocolitis necrotizante son dos de las grandes complicaciones de las cuales el médico debe estar prevenido, más aún, cuando, como se relata en el presente caso clínico, incluso pacientes que se contraponen a los principales factores de riesgo descritos por la literatura, como la edad, pueden desarrollar un cuadro de EH y tener un riesgo latente de complicación al igual que el resto de pacientes que si comparten dichos factores de riesgos. Objetivo: Describir un caso clínico de Enfermedad de Hirschsprung. Material y métodos: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo, retrospectivo, presentación de caso clínico sobre Enfermedad de Hirschsprung. Resultados: Se describe un caso de Enfermedad de Hirschsprung en paciente pediátrico con complicaciones y resolución quirpurgica satisfactoria. Conclusiones: La adecuada aplicación del método clínico permite un diagnóstico preciso y tratamiento oportuno de la Enfermedad de Hirschsprung.

Introducción: El lenguaje es la capacidad que posee el ser humano para transmitir ideas, emociones, sentimientos, en su contexto social, pero, para esto, debe existir una maduración neurológica que permita la comprensión de sonidos para luego transformarlos en palabras con significado real. Al no existir malformaciones orgánicas a nivel bucofonoarticulatorio y el lenguaje no se desarrolle acorde a su edad cronológica, es necesaria la intervención del terapeuta del lenguaje quien dentro de sus competencias desarrolla actividades terapéuticas con calidad y calidez, mediante procesos sistemáticos que van desde la entrevista, evaluación, diagnóstico basados en instrumentos reconocidos (en este caso guía Portage, Escala de desarrollo de Denver y Test Teprosif-R) y rehabilitación acorde al déficit del lenguaje del niño. Objetivo: Diseñar un manual de fuentes primarias de emprendimiento de rehabilitación en Terapia Rehabilitación . Material y métodos: investigación cuali-cuantitativa, descriptiva. Resultados: Se diseñó un manual de fuentes primarias: emprendimiento de rehabilitación con optimización de los recursos. De una muestra de 25 niños, de el 24% presentó algún tipo de alteración en su lenguaje. Conclusión: El manual demostró ser efectivo en la rehabilitación del déficit del lenguaje.

Social work students are trained to develop and maintain a professional sense of integrity, particularly when working in environments beyond their control. Using critical reflection as an example, students are encouraged to pause and reflect during practice encounters, which entails a reassessment of the situation. The aim is to help transform taken for granted ways of thinking and doing things into best practices. In this sense, students are provided with perspectives on theoretical frameworks and encouraged to appreciate the essence of maximizing practice through a culture of learning and reflection. Through the approach of critical reflection, students are also encouraged to understand how power functions in society, especially through ways in which an individual attempts to maintain unequal social relations. Critical reflection therefore helps students to fill knowledge gaps on how to discover and address inequalities in practice situations.
Primjena vanjskog ugovaranja u resoru obrane
Authors: Markušić Bernard
Published: July 2018

Primjena vanjskog ugovaranja (outsourcinga) u resoru obrane aktualan je trend u vođenje državne obrambene politike i relativno nov fenomen u javnom upravljanju. U radu se analiziraju ekonomski i pravni aspekti vanjskog ugovaranja u resoru obrane i pokušava se odgovoriti na pitanja stvarne razine ekonomičnosti i efikasnosti takvog pristupa s jedne te pravne opravdanosti i mogućih implikacija za standarde demokracije s druge strane. Analiza počinje s općim pojmovnim određenjem vanjskog ugovaranja na skali javnoprivatnih partnerstava. Istražuje se praksa vanjskog ugovaranja primarno na primjeru SAD-a, počevši s tipologijom i kratkim povijesnim pregledom privatnog vojnog sektora. Nakon toga slijedi ispitivanje ekonomičnosti i efikasnosti
vanjskog ugovaranja vojnih usluga s privatnim akterima. Pravna analiza podjednako je važna zbog neujednačenog i češće nepostojećeg pravnog okvira koji bi regulirao privatne vojne kompanije. Za primjer se uzima primarno SAD, ali dio pregleda posvećuje se i praksi primjene outsourcinga u britanskom i njemačkom modelu.
Fifty Shades of Rokkan? Reconceiving Local Party System Nationalisation in Belgium
Authors: Heyerick An , Steyvers Kristof
Published: July 2018

U radu se istražuje nacionalizacija lokalne politike u belgijskom kontekstu. Problematici se pristupa detaljnije od tradicionalne podjele stranaka na nacionalne i nenacionalne, te se izvode tri glavna zaključka. Prvo na temelju analize vertikalne autonomije stranaka možemo zaključiti da postoje četiri podtipa liste: državne, pseudodržavne, pseudolokalne i nezavisne lokalne liste. Podjela sudionika posljednjih dvaju krugova belgijskih lokalnih izbora na navedena četiri podtipa pokazuje da prevladavaju, što se belgijskih općina tiče, liste koje su makar neizravno povezane s državnom strankom (čak i kada nemaju državni predznak). Nadalje, ova se tipologija koristi kako bi se procijenila nacionalizacija lokacijski ograničenog skupa stranaka. Razvijeni su indeksi nacionalizacije lokalne politike koji pokazuju omjer između navedenih podtipova u izbornoj i u parlamentarnoj areni. Rezultati upućuju na to da je riječ o relativnoj, a ne o potpunoj nacionalizaciji lokalnog političkog sustava. Nacionalizacija je izraženija u slučaju lokalnih vijeća nego lokalnih izbora. Konačno, u radu se nastoji objasniti varijacija u nacionalizaciji lokalnog političkog sustava razmatranjem zajedničkog učinka varijabli lokacijski ograničene društvene morfologije i političke ekologije. Binarna logistička regresija pokazuje da je politička ekologija (češće) važnija od društvene morfologije (predvidljivija je u slučaju parlamentarnog indeksa nego u slučaju izbornoga). Javljaju se i drugi učinci. Morfološki faktori ne utječu znatno na vjerojatnost da će doći do nacionalizacije izbornoga lokalnog političkog sustava, no pojedini morfološki faktori ipak utječu na nacionalizaciju parlamentarnoga lokalnog političkog sustava. Nadalje, isti ekološki faktori utječu na nacionalizaciju kako izbornog tako i parlamentarnog lokalnog političkog sustava. Tu je izražena važnost dotadašnjeg razvojnog puta i prethodnih odabira (path dependance) koji utječu na nacionalizaciju lokalne politike. Ipak, varijacija u velikoj mjeri ostaje naobjašnjena, što je povezano s ograničenjima kvantitativnog pristupa usmjerenoga na učinak vanjskih utjecaja na nacionalizaciju lokalne politike. Kako bi se postiglo cjelovito razumijevanje, valja proučiti interakciju s unutarnjim stranačkim odlukama. Buduća se istraživanja također trebaju usmjeriti na komparativnu primjenu rezultata - u kojoj je mjeri i u kojim uvjetima moguća.
Uloga dekoncentrirane državne uprave u području migracije i integracije
Authors: Lopižić Ivan , Lalić Novak Goranka
Published: July 2018

Većina se znanstvenih istraživanja u području migracije bavi politikama na državnoj, te odnedavno i europskoj razini; stoga se migracijskim i integracijskim politikama rijetko bavimo iz perspektive državne uprave na teritoriju. Cilj je ovog rada pokušati nadoknaditi taj zaostatak analizom suvremenoga razvoja, uloga i organizacije dekoncentrirane državne uprave, kao i istraživanjem uloge dekoncentrirane državne uprave u migracijskim i integracijskim politikama u nekoliko europskih zemalja. S vremenom se uloga dekoncentrirane državne uprave promijenila, te se ona više ne bavi implementacijom državnih zakona i izravnim pružanjem usluga, već očuvanjem cjelovitosti teritorijalnih
javnih politika, strateškim planiranjem i koordinacijom različitih teritorijalnih aktera u izvedbi javnih poslova. Zadaća je dekoncentrirane državne uprave osigurati učinkovitu i ujednačenu implementaciju državnih politika na cijelom državnom teritoriju. Ta je uloga iznimno važna u području migracije i integracije jer su pripadajuće politike obično osmišljene na razini središnje vlasti, no provode ih različite razine javne uprave pa tako i lokalna samouprava. Istraživanje je pokazalo sve veću važnost dekoncentrirane državne uprave u
području migracije i integracije. U šest analiziranih država dekoncentrirana je državna uprava preuzela znatnu ulogu u migracijskim politikama, a ta se uloga pokazala implementacijskom ili koordinacijski-strateškom bez obzira na različite institucionalne značajke dekoncentrirane državne uprave. U radu se donose argumenti administrativno-tehničke i interesno-političke prirode za šire uvođenje dekoncentrirane državne uprave u migracijske i integracijske politike.
The structure and formation mechanism of FeS2/Fe3S4/S8 nanocomposite synthesized using spherical shaped Fe3O4 nanoparticles as the precursor
Authors: Radoń Adrian , Łukowiec Dariusz
Published: July 2018

Synthesis of a nanocomposite containing iron sulfides and sulfur was carried out in ethylene glycol. Spherical-shaped Fe3O4 nanoparticles were used as the precursor. The structure of the FeS2/Fe3S4/S8 nanocomposite, as well as the mechanism of formation, are described with X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Strong interaction between sulfur and oxygen was confirmed. Formation of the FeS2/Fe3S4/S8 nanocomposite was associated with the reaction between Fe3O4 and H2S, and the reaction between greigite and H2S produced by the decomposition of thioacetamide. Highly crystalline pyrite was formed in these reactions, while the sulfur and greigite appearing on the edges formed a highly disordered structure.
Precipitation characteristics of a nickel-based single-crystal superalloy after long-term thermal exposure
Authors: Huang Ming , Yang Xinye , Liu Weiwei , Li Jiarong , Yang Sen , Qin Yuan
Published: July 2018

Microstructural stability is of great importance for the application of rhenium-containing nickel-based single-crystal superalloys. The microstructures of single-crystal superalloy DD6, especially the precipitation characteristics before and after thermal exposure, were characterized using scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and related techniques. Acicular M
6C carbides, rod-like M
6C carbides, and granular μ phases have been observed in the aged alloys, and the orientation relationships of these precipitates have been identified. During the early stage of M
6C precipitation, the carbide maintains a cube-on-cube orientation relationship with the matrix, whereas further growth of the M
6C carbides leads to a twin-related orientation relationship. For the granular μ phases containing a high concentration of Re, no special relationship has been observed. The results of the study will be beneficial for the understanding and improvement of nickel-based single-crystal superalloys.
A IMPLANTAÇÃO DE SISTEMAS DE CUSTOS NO SETOR PÚBLICO: BUSCANDO AÇÕES INOVADORAS A PARTIR DE UM DIAGNÓSTICO DOS MUNICÍPIOS DA REGIÃO CENTRAL DO RS
Authors: Soares Cristiano Sausen , Parcianello Eliandra
Published: July 2018

Com o objetivo de identificar iniciativas inovadoras para implantação de sistemas de custos nos municípios da região central do RS, este estudo se desenvolveu por meio da pesquisa qualitativa, descritiva e exploratória, mediante levantamento. A coleta de dados fez uso da aplicação de questionário elaborado para identificar o perfil dos respondentes, formas de atualização profissional e estratégias adotadas para implantação do sistema de custos nos municípios. Das 34 cidades da região investigada, obteve-se uma amostra de 38,24%, sendo o retorno dos respondentes uma limitação da pesquisa. Os resultados demonstram que poucas ações efetivas foram desenvolvidas para implantação de sistemas de custos na maioria dos municípios da região. Constataram-se dois aspectos relevantes: a falta de sistemas de informação de custos que permitam aos municípios a integração dos sistemas contábeis em uso com as informações de custos; e a necessidade de ações pontuais da gestão de pessoas no enfrentamento a resistência à mudança, na qualificação de pessoal e no envolvimento dos gestores no processo de implantação do sistema de custos. Espera-se que os resultados evidenciados possam contribuir com os demais entes públicos, sugerindo-se para futuras pesquisas um estudo de caso acompanhando o desenvolvimento e implantação do sistema de custos em um município.

Published: July 2018

Kelapa sebagai tanaman yang hidup di daerah tropis, tidak hanya buahnya saja yang dapat dimanfaatkan, tetapi juga sabut, tempurung, lidi, daun, dan batangnya pun dapat dimanfaatkan. Saat ini, pemanfaatan serbuk dari sabut kelapa belum maksimal dimana hanya dibuat sebagai media tanam atau bahkan dibuang begitu saja. Salah satu pemanfaataan yang dapat dilakukan yaitu serbuk kelapa dapat digunakan untuk pembuatan papan partikel. Serbuk dari sabut kelapa dapat menjadi bahan baku alternatif untuk pembuatan papan partikel dengan kerapatan sedang atau di atas 0,6 g/cm3  dengan menggunakan perekat urea formaldehida sebanyak 15% dari berat partikel dan hardener 1% dari perekat. Pada penelitian ini, kerapatan yang dibuat 0,4 g/cm3; 0,5 g/cm3; 0,6 g/cm3; 0,8 g/cm3; dan 1 g/cm3 yang sesuai dengan standart industri. Hasil pengujian menunjukkan bahwa kadar air serbuk kelapa lebih rendah dari standar industri. Selain itu, pada pengujian mekanik, kerapatan rendah 0,4 g/cm3dan 0,5 g/cm3tidak memenuhi standar industri, sedangkan kerapatan 0,6 g/cm3, 0,8 g/cm3, dan 1 g/cm3memenuhi standar industri.Kata kunci: serbuk sabut kelapa, papan partikel, kerapatan, urea formaldehida

Desain Gating System dan Parameter Proses Pengecoran untuk Mengatasi Cacat Rongga Poros Engkol
Authors: Syah Kadarisman , Karmiadji Djoko W. , Rahmalina Dwi
Published: July 2018

Teknologi pengecoran logam merupakan salah satu metode yang sering digunakan dalam sektor industri pengolahan logam. Pada proses pengecoran poros engkol menggunakan besi cor nodular (FCD 700) juga terkadang timbul cacat pengecoran, salah satunya adalah cacat penyusutan (macro shrinkage). Cacat penyusutan terjadi karena rongga atau lubang yang terbentuk akibat pengecilan volume ketika logam mengalami pembekuan. Pada saat proses pembekuan logam, tiap bagian coran yang berbeda bentuknya atau dimensinya memiliki kecepatan pembekuan yang berlainan. Pada umumnya, cacat penyusutan terjadi pada bagian yang paling tebal dengan laju pembekuan yang paling lambat dan daerah cacat biasanya dikelilingi oleh krital-kristal dendrite yang terjadi pada saat pembekuan logam. Salah satu solusi untuk mendapatkan produk poros engkol yang  bebas dari cacat penyusutan adalah dengan melakukan optimasi desain gating system. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa desain yang dibuat masih menghasilkan cacat berupa rongga penyusutan. Hal ini terjadi karena belum optimalnya desain sistem saluran yang telah digunakan.Kata kunci: macro shrinkage, desain gating system, simulasi komputer

Finnish Ships in Russian America
Authors: Grinëv Andrei Val’terovich
Published: July 2018

The annexation of the Grand Duchy of Finland by the
Russian Empire after the war with Sweden in 1808–1809 sharply
strengthened the Russian trading fleet. It is not surprising that Finnish
ships, despite their small number, visited the Russian colonies
in America over a rather long period—from 1816 to 1856—though at
times with substantial temporal intervals. Some of them belonged to
the Russian-American Company (RAC), some were chartered by it,
and some were in joint possession with the Russian-Finnish Whaling
Company. In addition, many Finnish sailors and skippers served on
ships of the RAC’s colonial flotilla and on company ships that carried
out charter trips between Baltic ports and Russian America and
eastern Siberia.
Chaos in Siberia
Authors: Hardy Jeffrey S.
Published: July 2018

This essay reviews new books by Sarah Badcock, Daniel
Beer, and Andrew Gentes on Siberian exile in the long nineteenth
century. Based on a wealth of memoirs and archival documents, all
three studies shed new light on the aims, practices, and lived experience
of exile, with Beer providing a broad overview and Gentes
and Badcock focusing on specific episodes. Meticulously researched
and well written, the books demonstrate the chaotic nature of exile,
with corruption, violence, and the nature of the exiles themselves
contributing to the system’s failures to achieve its often-conflicting
goals. More context in terms of Siberian development and the Russian
penal system and greater theoretical and comparative perspective
would have further strengthened these important new books.
