PERGESERAN PARADIGMA KEAGAMAAN MAHASISWA MUSLIM DI UNIVERSITAS WIDYAGAMA MAHAKAM SAMARINDA
Authors: Kawu Abd. Shadiq
Published: August 2018

Penelitian ini berupaya mengidentifikasi pergeseran paham keagamaan yang terjadi dikalangan
mahasiswa sekaligus memahami bagaimana pergeseran itu terjadi. Penelitian menggunakan metode
kualitatif dan penggalian data dilakukan dengan cara wawancara terhadap tokoh-tokoh yang dipilih
(purposive sampling). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pergeseran paham yang terjadi di kalangan
mahasiswa muslim di UWGM Samarinda adalah pergeseran paham keagamaan ke arah paham
keagamaan yang revivalis-modernis. Pergeseran pemahaman keagamaan tersebut disebabkan oleh
kuatnya penetrasi kelompok tarbiyah Ikhwanul Muslimin hingga akhirnya berhasil menguasai Lembaga
Dakwah Kampus yang memiliki saluran resmi dari kampus. Dalam konteks kehidupan dewasa ini
paham keagamaan yang diusung sangat resisten karena bersikap anti terhadap berbagai khasanah tradisi
Islam lokal termasuk juga sikap yang cenderung intoleran terhadap kelompok Islam yang tidak sehaluan
dengan mereka.
THE ROLES OF STATE RELIGIOUS CONSELORS IN PROMOTING PEACE AND HARMONY IN AMBON CITY
Authors: Rais Muhammad
Published: August 2018

Abstract
The aim of this research was to describe about the performances of religion counselor, a counselor who has a strategic role and position as State Civil Servant, who is on the front guard in giving religious services to the general public. A religion counselor is a representative of Indonesia Ministry of Religious Affairs that got the constitutional mandate to deliberate society’s needs related to development in the religious field, especially in the field of counseling that uses ‘religion language’. For the context of Ambon City, the characteristics were relatively specific as this region was in the category of high level conflict potential; so it was necessary that there be Civil Servants who had the performances and capabilities in portraying the public socio-cultural condition. Therefore, what became the priority for the context of Ambon was the reinforcement of each religion counselor’s capacity to carry out his counseling activities and to be proactive in the process of managing the living harmony among religion believers. Through the qualitative method used in this research, the social realities concerning religion counselor’s performance and contribution in managing the living harmony among religion believers in Ambon City could be described effectively.
DOMINASI ‘RITUAL’ AGAMA DALAM BUKU PELAJARAN AGAMA ISLAM (PAI) DI SD 01 LALEBBATA DAN SD MURANTE KOTA PALOPO SULSEL

This study focused on the search and identification of problematic use of Islamic Religious Education lesson books Elementary School by taking samples at SD 01 Lalebbata da SD Murante Palopo. The research problem is: how textbooks Islam is exploited? how the utilization of the subject matter in the book and its relevance to the purpose of education to improve students' devotion and shaping behavior that noble ?. Operationalize the descriptive qualitative research method. The results showed that the general distribution of the utilization of the book Islamic Religious Studies (PAI) curriculum, 2006 at State Elementary School (SDN) Palopo not be a critical problem because of the use of BOS funds. Problems then just look at the mechanism of utilization of PAI books, for example in the use of religious subject matter in the book PAI are not relevant to the purpose of national education to create didika participants are devoted to Allah SWT. Relevanan lack is evident from the number of materials over religious rituals (worship) as compared with the material that introduces God as a substance which should dieknali and loved by humans. Learning strategies with the dominant religion of the subject matter more to load the religious rituals can be bad for students, where they're treated early with many television shows that divert them from the love of God.

KUALITAS KINERJA PENGAWAS MADRASAH DALAM PERSPEKTIF GURU DAN KEPALA MADRASAH (Analisis Perbandingan Kepuasan Guru dan Kepala MI terhadap Supervisi Pengawas Madrasah di Sukoharjo dan Surakarta Jawa Tengah)
Authors: Muzayanah Umi
Published: August 2018

Pengawas madrasah memiliki tanggung jawab melaksanakan supervisi akademik dan manajerial pada madrasah. Oleh karenanya pengawas madrasah memiliki peran dan fungsi ganda, yang dalam kinerjanya bersentuhan langsung dengan seluruh komponen madrasah, dua diantaranya adalah guru dan kepala madrasah. Dengan pendekatan mixed method, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kualitas pengawas MI di Sukoharjo dan Surakarta yang secara geografis cukup berbeda, sekaligus menguji perbedaan kepuasan di dua wilayah tersebut. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kualitas kinerja pengawas MI dalam perspektif guru dan kepala madrasah masih relatif rendah. Pengawas MI belum melakukan pembinaan kepada madrasah dan guru secara optimal. GAP antara harapan guru dan kepala madrasah dengan kinerja pengawas seluruhnya bernilai negatif. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa kualitas kinerja pengawas MI belum sesuai dengan harapan guru dan kepala madrasah, baik di Sukoharjo maupun Surakarta. Hasil independent t test menunjukkan adanya perbedaan tingkat kepuasan guru dan kepala MI di Sukoharjo dan Surakarta. Bahkan tingkat kepuasan guru terhadap supervisi akademik pengawas di Surakarta lebih rendah dari Sukoharjo. Artinya luas wilayah dan jumlah madrasah binaan yang relatif kecil tidak menjamin tingginya kepuasan guru terhadap kinerja pengawas MI.

DISKURSUS ISLAM DAN KARAKTER POLITIK NEGARA DI KESULTANAN BIMA
Authors: Effendy Muslimin AR
Published: August 2018

Seiring dengan berlangsungnya proses islamisasi di sebagian besar kerajaan di Pulau Sumbawa pada awal ke-17, maka muncul gagasan politik baru dari para penguasa negara untuk mengintegrasikan tradisi Islam agar mereka dipandang sebagai “bagian dari dunia Islam” (dar-al Islam). Modus integrasi dan klaim sebagai negara yang berbasis pada ideologi Islam ini mendorong para raja bertindak lebih ambisius lewat kebijakan politik kenegaraan yang ofensif. Selama proses “pengislaman” ini berlangsung, terjadi pula aktivitas perdagangan, politik dan budaya yang sejak awal  memang menjadi bagian dari sistem kekuasaan kerajaan. Di abad ke-17 Islam di Pulau Sumbawa mengalami perkembangan sangat berarti. Kerajaan-kerajaan seperti Bima, Dompu, Sumbawa, Tambora, Sanggar, dan Pekat tumbuh dan bersaing menjadi negara baru. Bima dan Sumbawa misalnya, sering mengklaim dirinya sebagai pusat kekuasaan yang kemudian menjadi basis perkembangan intelektual dan budaya muslim di Nusa Tenggara. 
Swelling Kinetics and Rheological Behavior of Chitosan-PVA / Montmorillonite Hybrid Polymers
Authors: Amri Nedjla , Ghemati Djamila , Bouguettaya Nadia , Aliouche Djamel
Published: August 2018

This study involved preparation of hybrid polymer systems based on chitosan-poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) blends and modified Montmorillonite. These structures were characterized through microscopy and infrared spectroscopy; swelling measurements were performed to explore polymer absorbency. The behavior of polymer systems was studied through steady and oscillatory shear rheology. Results showed that more stable blend membranes were formed due to the strong interaction between chitosan and PVA. The membranes exhibited appreciable water uptake and were sensitive to saline solution with a slight shrinking.Shear viscosity was described by Cross model to characterize non-Newtonian behavior of all polymer solutions, the shear thinning increases with PVA content, while viscosity increases with chitosan extent. In oscillatory experiments, it was observed that all measured viscoelastic properties were influenced by blends composition and clay content. For all samples, results show a typical behavior of an entangled system in the case of semi-dilute macromolecular viscoelastic fluids. The dynamic moduli exhibited higher values for blends, compared with values of neat polymers, which are an indication of a good stability and a tendency of gel formation. Therefore, the prepared chitosan-PVA systems, which exhibited high swelling degrees and suitable viscoelastic properties, have promising applications in tissue engineering and membrane processes.
A New, Long-lived, Jupiter Mesoscale Wave Observed at Visible Wavelengths

Small-scale waves were observed along the boundary between Jupiter’s North Equatorial Belt (NEB) and North Tropical Zone, ∼16.°5 N planetographic latitude in Hubble Space Telescope data in 2012 and throughout 2015–2018, observable at all wavelengths from the UV to the near-IR. At peak visibility, the waves have sufficient contrast (∼10%) to be observed from ground-based telescopes. They have a typical wavelength of about 1.°2 (1400 km), variable-length wave trains, and westward phase speeds of a few m s−1 or less. New analysis of Voyager 2 data shows similar wave trains over at least 300 hr. Some waves appear curved when over cyclones and anticyclones, but most are straight, but tilted, shifting in latitude as they pass vortices. Based on their wavelengths, phase speeds, and faint appearance at high-altitude sensitive passbands, the observed NEB waves are consistent with inertia-gravity waves (IGWs) at the 500 mbar pressure level, though formation altitude is not well constrained. Preliminary General Circulation Model simulations generate IGWs from vortices interacting with the environment and can reproduce the observed wavelengths and orientations. Several mechanisms can generate these waves, and all may contribute: geostrophic adjustment of cyclones; cyclone/anticyclone interactions; wind interactions with obstructions or heat pulses from convection; or changing vertical wind shear. However, observations also show that the presence of vortices and/or regions of convection are not sufficient by themselves for wave formation, implying that a change in vertical structure may affect their stability, or that changes in haze properties may affect their visibility.
MOJAVE XVI: Multiepoch Linear Polarization Properties of Parsec-scale AGN Jet Cores
Authors: Hodge M. A. , Lister M. L. , Aller M. F. , Aller H. D. , Kovalev Y. Y. , Pushkarev A. B. , Savolainen T.
Published: August 2018

We present an analysis of the core linear polarization properties of 387 parsec-scale active galactic nuclei (AGNs) jets. Using 15 GHz VLBA data, we revisit the conclusions of the first paper in this series with multiepoch measurements and more detailed analysis of a larger AGN sample that spans a broader range of synchrotron peak frequencies. Each AGN has been observed for at least five epochs between 1996 and 2017. We find that BL Lac objects have core electric vector position angles (EVPAs) that tend toward alignment with the local jet direction; compared to flat spectrum radio quasars, their EVPAs are also less variable over time. The AGN cores that are most fractionally polarized and least variable in polarization have EVPAs that are closely aligned with the local jet direction; they also have low variability in EVPA. These results support the popular model of a standing transverse shock at the base of the jet that collimates the jet magnetic field perpendicular to the jet direction, increasing the fractional polarization and leading to greater polarization stability over time. High-synchrotron-peaked BL Lac objects form a low luminosity, low fractional polarization population. The five narrow line Seyfert 1 galaxies in our sample have low fractional polarization and large EVPA-jet misalignments. Although AGNs detected at γ-rays are thought to be more Doppler boosted than nondetected AGNs, we find no significant differences in fractional polarization based on detection by Fermi-LAT; the γ-loud AGNs are, however, more variable in core EVPAs.
Violation of Synchrotron Line of Death by the Highly Polarized GRB 160802A

GRB 160802A is one of the brightest gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) observed by the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) in the energy range of 10–1000 keV, while at the same time it is surprisingly faint at energies ≳2 MeV. An observation with the AstroSat/CZT Imager also provides the polarization that helps in constraining different prompt emission models using the novel joint spectra-polarimetric data. We analyze the Fermi/GBM data, and find two main bursting episodes that are clearly separated in time, one of which is particularly faint in higher energies and having certain differences in their spectra. The spectrum in general shows a hard-to-soft evolution in both the episodes. Only the later part of the first episode shows intensity tracking behavior corresponding to multiple pulses. The photon index of the spectrum is hard, and in over 90% cases, crosses even the slow cooling limit (α = −2/3) of an optically thin synchrotron shock model. Though such hard values are generally associated with a sub-dominant thermal emission, such a component is not statistically required in our analysis. In addition, the measured polarization in 100–300 keV is too high, π = 85 ± 29%, to be accommodated in such a scenario. Jitter radiation, which allows a much harder index up to α = +0.5, in principle can produce high polarization, but only beyond the spectral peak, which in our case lies close to 200–300 keV during the time when most of the polarization signal is obtained. The spectro-polarimetric data seems to be consistent with a subphotospheric dissipation process occurring within a narrow jet with a sharp drop in emissivity beyond the jet edge, and viewed along its boundary.
Formation of Moon-induced Gaps in Dense Planetary Rings: Application to the Rings of Saturn
Authors: Grätz Fabio , Seiß Martin , Spahn Frank
Published: August 2018

We develop an axisymmetric diffusion model to describe radial density profiles in the vicinity of tiny moons embedded in planetary rings. Our diffusion model accounts for the gravitational scattering of the ring particles by an embedded moon and for the viscous diffusion of the ring matter back into the gap. With test particle simulations, we show that the scattering of the ring particles passing the moon is larger for small impact parameters than estimated by Goldreich & Tremaine and Namouni. This is significant for modeling the Keeler gap. We apply our model to the gaps of the moons Pan and Daphnis embedded in the outer A ring of Saturn with the aim to estimate the shear viscosity of the ring in the vicinity of the Encke and Keeler gap. In addition, we analyze whether tiny icy moons whose dimensions lie below Cassini’s resolution capabilities would be able to explain the gap structure of the C ring and the Cassini division.
Constraining the Ejecta for the Nonthermal Emission from GW 170817
Authors: Huang Yan , Li Zhuo
Published: August 2018

We consider a simple model for the nonthermal emission from GW 170817, in which a quasi-spherical ejecta is released in the merger event, with the kinetic energy distributed over the momentum as E(>γβ) ∝ (γβ)−k
. The ejecta drives a shock into the medium and gives rise to synchrotron radiation. Using multiband observations, we constrain k to be ≈6.7, the total kinetic energy to be (0.3–5) × 1051 erg (assuming the density of the medium to be ∼10−2 cm−3 and the postshock magnetic field to carry a fraction 10−5–10−3 of the postshock internal energy), the slowest ejecta velocity to be ∼(0.7–0.8)c, and the fastest ejecta to have a Lorentz factor of ∼4–7. We conclude that the subrelativistic dynamical ejecta responsible for the kilonova cannot produce nonthermal emission. The coexistence of nonthermal and thermal kilonova emission implies that two simultaneous ejecta are ejected at different angles.

Samples were collected by SCUBA diving, from were two stations at depths of 7.6 and 18.2 m. Sediment was sieved and molluscs (adults and micromolluscs ≤ 10 mm) were sorted, examined, and identified to the lowest taxonomic level. A total of 1,347 specimens was found, of which 224 shells were dead and 1,123 were alive. Thirty-four families, 53 genera, and 67 species were identified. The most abundant families were Chamidae and Arcidae for the Bivalvia class, and Caecidae and Tornidae for the Gastropoda class. The vertical range ofBentharcasp. was extended.
Les inégalités professionnelles entre les femmes et les hommes selon leur niveau de diplôme
Authors: Gadrey Jean , Gadrey Nicole
Published: August 2018

Les inégalités salariales entre les femmes et les hommes ont été inter-prétées en faisant appel à des facteurs divers qui ont tous leur importance, mais ne paraissent pas suffisants pour comprendre le paradoxe suivant : le niveau de diplôme des filles dépasse de plus en plus celui des garçons, les rémunérations augmentent en moyenne avec le niveau de diplôme, et pourtant les femmes restent nettement moins payées que les hommes et l’écart salarial est quasiment stagnant depuis de nombreuses années. La relation entre formation et emploi est au cœur du système méritocratique à la française, mais elle n’apparaît souvent qu’en filigrane dans les travaux sur les inégalités entre les femmes et les hommes et ses effets ne donnent pas lieu à des évaluations chiffrées. Cet article tente de mesurer l’effet différencié du niveau de diplôme sur l’emploi, les professions occupées et les rémunérations des femmes et des hommes.
Le caché de La Poste. La genèse de temps virtuels pour organiser le travail des facteurs
Authors: Jounin Nicolas
Published: August 2018

La Poste détermine le circuit des tournées de ses facteurs en référence à la durée nécessaire au tri et à la distribution du courrier correspondant à ce circuit. Jusqu’au début des années 2000, elle le faisait au moyen du chronométrage des différentes étapes de chaque tournée. Depuis, elle a accéléré la révision des tournées en mettant en œuvre des combinaisons automatiques de l’estimation du trafic, du référencement de la géographie, et de vitesses et temps standards prédéterminés. Bien que ce dispositif ait été réfléchi depuis des décennies, il n’a été mis en œuvre qu’à la faveur de la réduction de la durée légale du travail et de la diminution du trafic de courrier. Aujourd’hui, il fait l’objet d’une controverse qui porte notamment sur les fondements des vitesses et temps standards conçus dans les années 1990. Leur validité est mise en cause par des facteurs et leurs représentants, et La Poste ne peut la défendre car elle affirme ne plus disposer des documents rendant compte de la conception de ses propres « normes et cadences ».
Parcours de sous-traitants économiquement dépendants : l’exemple de la messagerie urbaine
Authors: Rème-Harnay Pétronille
Published: August 2018

Alors que dans le transport routier de marchandises, le recours à la sous-traitance est limité à 15 % du chiffre d’affaires, il est massif dans la messagerie urbaine dédiée à la collecte et la distribution d’envois de moins de trois tonnes. Dans ce secteur, coexistent une quinzaine de groupes et de nombreuses entreprises de petite taille. Les premiers sous-traitent massivement la livraison aux secondes pour économiser sur les coûts liés aux contrats de travail salariés dans la messagerie. Plutôt que d’étudier les logiques d’externalisation des groupes donneurs d’ordre, déjà largement médiatisées, l’enquête que nous avons menée en 2015 s’intéresse à la dépendance économique des sous-traitants, aux raisons de leur existence mais aussi à leurs stratégies économiques, qu’elles soient légales ou non, et aux causes de leurs éventuelles défaillances.
Outcomes of a Critical Care Hospital-Based Fellowship for Senior Nursing Students
Authors: Moran Vicki , Hansen Rose , Schweiss Deidre
Published: August 2018

Background:

A partnership between four academic sites and one practice site was created to address a gap in baccalaureate nursing education resulting from the lack of pediatric and critical clinical experience. Four schools of nursing (SONs) were invited to recruit senior-level nursing students to participate in a critical care fellowship opportunity during their senior synthesis courses.

Method:

In a mixed-method evaluation, data were collected through three questionnaires.

Results:

The findings indicated that the students increased their knowledge and ability in caring for critical pediatric patients. The difference in clinical hours by the SONs did not reveal significant mean differences across measures of self-efficacy, clinical knowledge, or clinical confidence.

Conclusion:

The critical care hospital-based fellowship can be used as a partnership between a hospital and SONs to expose prelicensure students to clinical experiences and education related to pediatric critical care to decrease nursing shortages in these specialty areas. [

Authors: Bussard Michelle E.
Published: August 2018

Background:

Simulation is replacing clinical hours in prelicensure nursing programs, and students must be evaluated to ensure that the end-of-course outcomes are met. The purpose of this study was to identify what an average score (or cutoff score) for high-fidelity simulation is for successful and satisfactory completion of end-of-course outcomes in a medical–surgical nursing course using the Lasater Clinical Judgment Rubric.

Method:

A retrospective, descriptive, quantitative study was performed using a convenience sample of 143 RN diploma nursing students. Data were collected from 2013 to 2017.

Results:

A cutoff score of 28 was identified indicating satisfactory and successful completion of end-of-course outcomes in a medical–surgical nursing course.

Conclusion:

Ensuring that students meet end-of-course outcomes and participating in simulated patient scenarios is essential in meeting board of nursing regulations. [

Implementation of Electronic Objective Structured Clinical Examination Evaluation in a Nurse Practitioner Program
Authors: Luimes Janet D. , Labrecque Mary Ellen
Published: August 2018

Background:

The Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) is a valuable, yet resource-intensive method for evaluating clinical competence of students in health disciplines. Electronic OSCE (eOSCE) management programs have the potential to support evaluative efficiency and objectivity of OSCEs.

Method:

The processes for selecting, implementing, and evaluating use of an eOSCE management system in a Master of Nursing Primary Health Care Nurse Practitioner program are described.

Results:

Tailored selection and implementation of an eOSCE management system to fit program needs and available resources facilitated optimal use of eOSCE, promoting grading efficiency, ability to provide prompt feedback to students, and examiner objectivity. These advantages were found to outweigh the disadvantages of extra time and effort to initially learn the eOSCE program.

Conclusion:

A program-centered approach to implementation of an eOSCE management system supports high-quality, efficient assessment of student clinical competencies. [

Published: August 2018

Constatant de larges scansions dans l’évolution des discours sur la musique, l’article tente une synthèse historique des notions de théorie et d’esthétique musicales. Il revient sur l’hésitation terminologique de la première entre scientia et theoria, sur sa normativité, sur sa relation à l’œuvre et sur l’évolution de ses objets, qui suscitent une mobilité constitutive de la discipline. Quant à la seconde, sont abordés son émergence à l’âge baroque, sa transformation sous l’effet des sciences de l’homme et de la société, ainsi que certains de ses thèmes majeurs depuis 1945 : temps musical, étude du signe et de la signification, ontologie analytique de la musique.
La musique antique s’expose au Louvre-Lens

Published: August 2018

L’exposition « Musiques ! Échos de l’Antiquité » qui vient de s’achever au Louvre-Lens a réuni plus de quatre cents œuvres de grands musées internationaux et a permis, pour la première fois, d’évoquer l’importance que la musique tenait dans quatre aires culturelles majeures qui ont été en contact au cours de leur histoire : l’Orient, l’Égypte, la Grèce et Rome. Il s’agissait ainsi de faire découvrir la richesse des patrimoines sonores antiques, leur réception dans l’imaginaire occidental et de proposer un état de la recherche. L’apport de cette exposition est remis en perspective avec des expériences muséographiques antérieures et dans le cadre d’un champ disciplinaire émergeant qu’est l’anthropologie sonore appliquée à l’Antiquité.

Une renaissance de l’examen clinique : l’échostéthoscopie
Authors: Elezi Arben
Published: August 2018

Inventé en 1816 par Laennec pour introduire, dans l’auscultation, un écran pudique entre lui et sa patiente, le stéthoscope se révéla un véritable outil diagnostique constituant un tournant de l’examen clinique : des bruits renforcés et transmis à l’oreille du médecin deviennent signes de la maladie. Deux siècles plus tard, grâce aux progrès technologiques, c’est l’œil du clinicien qui se voit désormais autorisé, de façon immédiate, à pénétrer le corps, à y mener l’enquête. L’échostéthoscopie est le nom de cette échographie réalisée par le clinicien « au chevet du malade » à l’aide d’un outil ultra-portable.
Bending Fatigue Behavior of 7075-Aluminum Alloy
Authors: Arcieri Emanuele Vincenzo , Baragetti Sergio , Borzini Emanuele
Published: August 2018

Light alloys are a very interesting challenge in order to have light components with high mechanical features. One of these is the 7075 aluminum alloy, which is commonly employed in aeronautic, automotive and maritime fields.On the other hand, the application of a PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) coating can improve the hardness of the surface and the tribological properties of the component.The effectiveness of these coatings on the fatigue behavior of the sublayer material is not already clear. For this reason, bending tests on uncoated and coated specimens in air were performed in order to evaluate the S-N diagrams
A Numerical Study on Multi-Terrain Impacts of an Aeronautical Fuselage Section
Authors: Riccio Aniello , Saputo Salvatore , Cristiano Roberta , Sellitto Andrea
Published: August 2018

This paper investigates the crashworthiness of a metallic fuselage section. Crashworthiness can be generally described as the ability of a structure to protect its occupants during an impact event. In this paper, the mechanical behaviour of metallic fuselage structures during the crash is simulated by means of the FE code ABAQUS/Explicit. Two different impact terrains have been considered: impact on a rigid surface and ditching on water. The numerical results, in terms of deformation, energy absorption, equivalent stress evolution, and damage onset and propagation have been assessed and compared.
Transfer Matrix Analysis for Curved Beam Structure
Authors: Kuroda Shoichi , Arai Masayuki , Ito Kiyohiro
Published: August 2018

The curved beam structure such as pipe system has been widely used in industrial plants or power stations. In this study, the reduction technique of stiffness matrix, which is refered to “transfer matrix method (TM)“, is developed to solve effectively the problem. For achieving the purpose, the transfer matrix Fk to transfer deformation, rotation, force and moment from node i to node i+1, which are named for both edges in k-th beam element, is formulated. The global transfer matrix is then constructed by multiplying as R(θk+1,k)·Fk···R(θ2,1)·F1···R(θk+1,k) is the coordinate rotation matrix. The efficiency and simplicity of this method is demonstrated by solving the problem of a curved pipe line with elbow which is subjected to external forces and displacements. The results are compared with those obtained by FEM.

Published: August 2018

As polymer parts are made by injection molding, most defects are usually caused by the shrinkage of material during solidification. These defects are then source of cracks in these parts. Present contribution is dealing with central cracked compression loaded polymer cylinder. In order to describe crack behavior under operational load, parametrical finite element model was developed. As results of this study stress intensity factors for central crack with different crack lengths are determined to describe crack behavior.
A Computational Study on Crack Propagation in Bio-Inspired Lattices
Authors: Manno Riccardo , Gao Wei , Benedetti Ivano
Published: August 2018

A computational preliminary study on the fracture behaviour of two kinds of finite-size bio-inspired lattice configurations is presented. The study draws inspiration from recent investigations aimed at increasing the fracture energy of some materials through small modifications of their microstructure. Nature provides several examples of strategies used to delay or arrest damage initiation and crack propagation. Striking examples are provided by the micro-architecture of several kinds of wood. In this study, the effects on crack propagations induced by architectural alterations inspired by the microstructure of wood are computationally investigated. In an age in which tight control of the micro-architecture can be achieved, e.g. through high-resolution 3D printing, it is of interest to investigate whether, starting from a baseline cellular architecture, it is possible to achieve superior material performance by simple but smart topological modifications.

Published: August 2018

The purpose of this study is development of gun-bullet protect board. The collision test was executed in such a way to launch a bullet and collide to the target by the air gun. The mock bullet made of brass was used as the projectile. The collision behaviors of polycarbonate (PC) target board were clarified. Next, the analysis of gun bullet collision between the bullet and PC board has been practiced by non-liner dynamic FEM commercial software (AUTODYNTM) and an effective bullet protection board is designed based on this analytical result.
Numerical Analysis of the Failure Behavior of a C50/60 Brazilian Disc Test Specimen with a Central Notch
Authors: Miarka Petr , Seitl Stanislav , de Corte Wouter
Published: August 2018

The Brazilian disc test with central notch is widely used to evaluate the fracture resistance of rocks and concrete by analytical formulas. However, studies of the post peak behavior are limited. In this contribution the post peak behavior of a C 50/60 concrete was studied using the finite element software Abaqus. The numerical results were compared to experimental data provided by BUT.
A Boundary Element Model for Structural Health Monitoring Based on the S0 Lamb Wave Mode
Authors: Li Jun , Sharif Khodaei Zahra , Aliabadi M.H.
Published: August 2018

The aim of this paper was to carry out numerical simulations of structural health monitoring applications for plate structures using the boundary element method (BEM). The fundamental symmetric Lamb mode (S0) is chosen for the SHM applications. The propagation, reflection and diffraction of the S0 mode Lamb wave are modelled using a boundary element formulation based on the plane stress theory. Piezoelectric (PZT) actuators are mounted on plate surfaces to excite the S0 mode wave. A semi-analytical method is adopted to couple the PZT actuators and the host plate. Numerical results show that BEM is a very efficient simulation method for the structural health monitoring of plates.
Virtual Worlds, Virtual Reality, and Augmented Reality: Differences in Purchase Intentions Based on Types, Users, and Sex
Authors: Cox Angie marie , Guzman Indira , Bagui Sikha , Cromer Kenneth
Published: August 2018

This paper discusses the disparity between two Virtual World (VW) users groups: Social and Game-oriented users. It highlights the difference between the distinct players' behaviors and their purchase intentions in VWs. It then examines the differences in the sexes. The findings are applied to possible conditions in Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR). This paper sheds light on consumers’ behaviors and markets in VWs, AR and VR to increase understanding of a popular pastime and an activity that has an abundance of practical applications. The backbone of the study comes from the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) and Flow Theory to explain how the different VW user attributes, such as skill and challenge, play a role in VW purchase intentions. This paper uses a data sample and modified model from Cox (2016) to find significant sex differences between the Social-oriented users and Game-oriented users, by using bootstrapping and Partial Least Squares (PLS), Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), and multi-group analysis. Female Game-oriented users were found to have a stronger relationship between their challenge levels to their VW shopping subjective norms (SN) than male Game-oriented users, while Social-oriented users displayed no significant variances. This means VW, AR and VR game designers, businesses, and researchers should recognize differences in the groups, to design and strategize ways to maximize female Game-oriented players' challenge level in order to flourish VW SN and overall lead to increased sales.

The 2017 Assembled issue of the Journal of Virtual Worlds Research is a collection of four highly interdisciplinary research papers, representing the diversity that is 'virtual worlds'. When considering this editorial piece, I decided to begin with the name of the issue: Assembled. Every year the journal has an Assembled issue, representing a collection of peer-reviewed articles which my predecessors have rightly described as 'eclectic' and 'diverse'. Although the articles presented herein are equally diverse with regard to scope and methodology, they are all representative of virtual worlds research, a field that truly is 'assembled' - emerging from and supported by numerous passionate scholars from various intellectual backgrounds.
De-Roling from Experiences and Identities in Virtual Worlds
Authors: Gualeni Stefano , Vella Daniel , Harrington Johnathan
Published: August 2018

Within dramatherapy and psychodrama, the term ‘de-roling’ indicates a set of activities that assist the subjects of therapy in ‘disrobing’ themselves from their fictional characters. Starting from the psychological needs and the therapeutic goals that ‘de-roling’ techniques address in dramatherapy and psychodrama, this text provides a broader understanding of procedures and exercises that define and ease transitional experiences across cultural practices such as religious rituals and spatial design. After this introductory section, we propose a tentative answer as to why game studies and virtual world research largely ignored processes of ‘roling’ and ‘de-roling’ that separate the lived experience of role-play from our everyday sense of the self. The concluding sections argue that de-roling techniques are likely to become more relevant, both academically and in terms of their practical applications, with the growing diffusion of virtual technologies in social practices. The relationships we can establish with ourselves and with our surroundings in digital virtual worlds are, we argue, only partially comparable with similar occurrences in pre-digital practices of subjectification. We propose a perspective according to which the accessibility and immersive phenomenological richness of virtual reality technologies are likely to exacerbate the potentially dissociative effects of virtual reality applications. This text constitutes an initial step towards framing specific socio-technical concerns and starting a timely conversation that binds together dramatherapy, psychodrama, game studies, and the design of digital virtual worlds.
Empathy with Non-Player Characters? An Empirical approach to the Foundations of Human/Non-Human Relationships
Authors: Harth Jonathan
Published: August 2018

This study deals with the question in which extent non-player characters (NPCs), in the practice of playing video games, appear as social persons ready for relationships or if they are only treated as mere objects. Due to the fact that for human players the computer game and its virtual inhabitants appear as black boxes, the presented gameplay and its more or less emergent narratives are always in need of interpretation. As a result, different types of play-practice emerge, which in different ways produce more or less empathic relationships towards non-human players.
The Recursive Relationship between Virtual and Real in Relationships
Authors: Ferdig Richard E. , Pytash Kristine E. , Muschert Glenn W.
Published: August 2018

We live in an era of digitally-mediated relationships. From finding a spouse online to daily interactions facilitated through social media, many people build and sustain both platonic and romantic relationships with technology. Virtual worlds are also spaces for these interactions. This special issue is dedicated to an exploration of such topics in a collection of articles exploring “real virtual relationships.”
Barbarians at the Imperium Gates: Organizational Culture and Change in EVE Online
Authors: Webber Nick , Milik Oskar
Published: August 2018

This article looks at organizational culture and identity of different organisations in EVE Online, using a combination of critical historical and ethnographic approaches. We argue that it is helpful to understand major organizations in EVE as analogous to early polities, in terms of the ways in which claims to leadership and power are demonstrated (for example through the writing of history). Yet, as we show, these organizations have strong cultures which demonstrate resilience and a resistance to top-down cultural change, meaning that the successful implementation of such change is governed by rank-and-file members rather than their leadership. We propose that the cultural (rather than political or social) nature of this resilience is centrally important in understanding how organizations in EVE function. This unity of practices and understanding allows EVE’s major organizations to suffer huge losses to their position and prestige, and yet remain viable communities and potentially resurgent powers. This seems to challenge the ‘social network’-type descriptions often used to explain the persistent groups seen in many online games.
Scaling Technoliberalism for Massively Multiplayer Online Games
Authors: Chia Aleena
Published: August 2018

The sandbox genre of Massively Multiplayer Online Games (MMOGs) addresses players as subjects with agency to shape worlds, impact populations, and make history through their actions within virtual environments. Designed features afford feelings of empowerment and solidarity that undergird technoliberal forms of subjectivity, which uphold technological structures as legitimate means to emergent effects in virtual worlds. This article uses ethnographic fieldwork and player interviews at EVE Online fan conventions to examine how the ideas and affects of technoliberalism are afforded through procedurally-encoded game processes, yet are aestheticized through branding onto player communities and their platforms. This smooths over the contradiction at the heart of technoliberalism that players’ agency to shape virtual world content is contingent on rules encoded into platforms whose development and adjustment are beyond their control. These contradictions are the key to understanding the pleasures of freedom and complexities of control in designed environments beyond gaming.
To Win at Life: Tradition and Chinese Modernities in EVE Online
Authors: Page Richard
Published: August 2018

EVE Online is well-knowns for allowing bad behavior like scamming, stealing and betraying, and previous research has explored how that behavior is enabled and governed by the affordances of the game. Comparatively little attention has been paid to the “community norms” that are often contrasted with the developer’s management. Here, I consider the influence of culture in China on the play of EVE. Where the narrative of globalization suggests that the world is becoming more homogenous, anthropologists look at the micro-level to see how new forms of modernity are created. EVE’s (intended) single-server design, liberal economy, and radical freedom are particularly characteristic of an assemblage of global flows, and the game’s neoliberal fantasy is transformed in play.In EVE, tradition is used by Chinese people to make sense of their modern situation, explaining to themselves why Chinese players play more conservatively than others. Without suggesting that Chinese players are universally or essentially different from players in the rest of the world, these differences can be at least partly attributed to the culture of modern China. I consider the lifeworld of a typical EVE player in China, who are over 95% young men, focused on the need to save money and provide for their family, both their parents and their potential children. Players frequently compared the conservative attitude toward money in the actual world with their own conservative play of EVE, or their perceived conservative play of other players.
