Authors: Maj Dominik , Wieteska Małgorzata , Gorecka Adrianna , Gorajek Anna , Wacławska Monika
Published: May 2022

Introduction and objective: Hypertension is the main preventable risk factor for both cardiovascular disease and premature death globally. Estimates suggest that almost one in three adults suffered from hypertension in 2010. This clinical entity can lead to different severe complications such as heart failure or stroke. Data shows that blood pressure(BP) reduction below currently recommended leads to a significant decrease of the risk of cardiovascular disease. The aim of the study is to review recent knowledge and beneficial impacts of Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension(DASH) diet, which is considered to decrease blood pressure. The information used in the presented analysis was obtained by searching academic research databases: Google Scholar and PubMed.    

An abbreviated description of the state of knowledge: The DASH diet is one of well known dietary patterns. It is rich in fruits, whole grain and low-fat diary products. Basing on the data, it can significantly decrease BP, what leads to a reduction of cardiovascular disease risk. Furthermore, high adherence to the DASH diet is associated with a lower risk of mortality from all cancer types and lower risk of colon cancer development, as well as with a lower risk of type 2 diabetes development.

Summary: The DASH diet is a commonly prescribed dietary pattern, which is known of its effectiveness in BP reduction. Additional research confirms its several different health benefits including decrease of the cardiovascular risk. Finally, the research give the recommendation, that the DASH diet should be pursued to increase the antihypertensive drug treatment effectiveness, but also to delay hypertension onset.

Authors: Triana Yunika , Maftukhin Maftukhin , Nugroho Arif
Published: May 2022

This paper aims to provide information that pragmatic strategies is needed to offer university campaign and branding. Researcher used Aristotle’s argumentation, ethos, logos and pathos to gain target audiences at Universitas Raden Mas Said Surakarta website. The advertisement in the form of word organization that was distributed with Google Ads. It is perceived that this practical application will improve attention and awareness of google users. Narrative design was conducted to find the answers associated to the research problem and the result was analyzed using rhetorical discourse analysis. It revealed that the word form, word organization, and context are able to influence the audience. All of these techniques use a pragmatic strategy approach where the advertiser does not invite the target audience directly, but the university and the target audience are brought together based on core of (word organization) supply and (audiences’ need) demand. This way is very efficient and effective to use during the covid-19 outbreak. This is also a reflection that conventional advertising has begun to be replaced by digital advertising. If compared to the previous year, there will be a 41% increase in registrants in 2021. This strategy has a significant impact and is very influential.
The English lexicogrammar of violence: lexical resources
Authors: Matthiessen Christian M.I.M. , DeCoursey Christina
Published: May 2022

This paper is an exploratory description of the lexicogrammar of violence — of the resources provided by the lexicogrammar of English for construing our experience of violence as wordings alongside other domains of experience that are difficult to come to terms with such as pain and emotion. We give particular attention to the lexical resources within the continuum of lexicogrammar, but locate them within the grammatical “schemata” they operate in. Our exploratory account is informed by Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL). It draws centrally on certain aspects of SFL, including the primary given to paradigmatic organization, the stratification of the content plane of language into semantics (meaning) and lexicogrammar (wording), the organization of the content plane into simultaneous metafunctions, the cline or continuum between the system of language, the overall meaning potential of language, and instances in the form of texts (operating in context), and the diversification of language into different registers (functional varieties) adapted to different types of context. We present an overview of the lexical resources of verbs and nouns, and show how verbs can be classified in their different senses by reference to the grammatical system of transitivity (in particular, process type).

Surface plasma wave induced second-harmonic generation on a metal–semiconductor interface: effect of self-focusing of a laser
Authors: Dua Harleen Kaur , Kant Niti , Thakur Vishal
Published: May 2022

The effect of the self-focusing of a laser on second-harmonic generation (SHG) induced by the surface plasma waves (SPW) over the metal–semiconductor interface has been investigated. The nonlinear interactions of a laser with metal generate SPW. These high-amplitude waves could penetrate through plasmonic entities of metal and can interact with electrons of a semiconductor leading to SHG. The behavior of the beam width parameter for different metals has been analyzed. One may notice that the beam width parameter shows periodic variation with the distance, but the amplitude shows maxima in the regions of the low beam width parameter. The focusing accompanied by the increase in SHG amplitude is found to be better for the Cu–InSb interface as compared to the Ag–InSb and Al–InSb ones. The present work puts forward the metal–semiconductor interface as a good choice for SHG.
Deep distributed optimization for blind diffuser-modulation ptychography
Authors: Chang Xuyang , Jiang Shaowei , Zheng Guoan , Bian Liheng
Published: May 2022

Blind diffuser-modulation ptychography has emerged as a low-cost technique for micro–nano holographic imaging, which enables breaking the resolution limit of optical systems. However, the existing reconstruction method requires thousands of measurements to recover object and diffuser profile simultaneously, which makes the data acquisition time-consuming and cumbersome. In this Letter, we report a novel, to the best of our knowledge, blind ptychography technique with deep distributed optimization, termed BPD2O. It decomposes the complicated optimization task into subproblems, then introduces extended ptychographical iterative engine and enhanced network solver to optimize each in a distributed strategy. In this way, BPD2O combines the advantages of both model-driven and data-driven strategies, realizing high-fidelity robust ptychography imaging. Extensive experiments validate that BPD2O can realize better resolution and lead to a reduction of more than one order of magnitude in the number of measurements.
Optical Kerr nonlinearity of dielectric nanohole array metasurface in proximity to anapole state
Authors: Panov Andrey V.
Published: May 2022

Metasurfaces have attracted a great deal of attention from researchers due to their prominent optical properties. In particular, metasurfaces may consist of structures possessing optical anapole resonances with strong field confinement and substantially suppressed scattering. As a result, such nanostructures display enhanced nonlinear optical properties. In this paper by means of three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain simulations, the ability of anapole modes in high-index dielectric metasurfaces with circular nanopores is shown. In the vicinity of the anapole state, the effective optical Kerr nonlinearity increases by orders of magnitude. Simultaneously, the optical transmission of the metasurface can reach high values up to unity.
Diversity of the MHC class II DRB gene in the wolverine (Carnivora: Mustelidae: Gulo gulo) in Finland
Authors: Sugiyama Yuri , Nishita Yoshinori , Lansink Gerhardus M. J. , Holmala Katja , Aspi Jouni , Masuda Ryuichi
Published: May 2022

The wolverine (Gulo gulo) in Finland has undergone significant population declines in the past. Since major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes encode proteins involved in pathogen recognition, the diversity of these genes provides insights into the immunological fitness of regional populations. We sequenced 862 amplicons (242 bp) of MHC class II DRB exon 2 from 32 Finnish wolverines and identified 11 functional alleles and three pseudogenes. A molecular phylogenetic analysis indicated trans-species polymorphism, and PAML and MEME analyses indicated positive selection, suggesting that the Finnish wolverine DRB genes have evolved under balancing and positive selection. In contrast to DRB gene analyses in other species, allele frequencies in the Finnish wolverines clearly indicated the existence of two regional subpopulations, congruent with previous studies based on neutral genetic markers. In the Finnish wolverine, rapid population declines in the past have promoted genetic drift, resulting in a lower genetic diversity of DRB loci, including fewer alleles and positively selected sites, than other mustelid species analyzed previously. Our data suggest that the MHC region in the Finnish wolverine population was likely affected by a recent bottleneck.

Published: May 2022

In this study, we report our experience in commissioning a commercial treatment planning system (TPS) for fast-raster scanning of carbon-ion beams. This TPS uses an analytical dose calculation algorithm, a pencil-beam model with a triple Gaussian form for the lateral-dose distribution, and a beam splitting algorithm to consider lateral heterogeneity in a medium. We adopted the mixed beam model as the relative biological effectiveness (RBE) model for calculating the RBE values of the scanned carbon-ion beam. To validate the modeled physical dose, we compared the calculations with measurements of various relevant quantities as functions of the field size, range and width of the spread-out Bragg peak (SOBP), and depth–dose and lateral-dose profiles for a 6-mm SOBP in water. To model the biological dose, we compared the RBE calculated with the newly developed TPS to the RBE calculated with a previously validated TPS that is in clinical use and uses the same RBE model concept. We also performed patient-specific measurements to validate the dose model in clinical situations. The physical beam model reproduces the measured absolute dose at the center of the SOBP as a function of field size, range, and SOBP width and reproduces the dose profiles for a 6-mm SOBP in water. However, the profiles calculated for a heterogeneous phantom have some limitations in predicting the carbon-ion-beam dose, although the biological doses agreed well with the values calculated by the validated TPS. Using this dose model for fast-raster scanning, we successfully treated more than 900 patients from October 2018 to October 2020, with an acceptable agreement between the TPS-calculated and measured dose distributions. We conclude that the newly developed TPS can be used clinically with the understanding that it has limited accuracies for heterogeneous media.
Application of the protection motivation theory to understand determinants of compliance with the measure of banning gathering size >4 in all public areas for controlling COVID-19 in a Hong Kong Chinese adult general population
Authors: Yu Yanqiu , Lau Mason M. C. , Lau Joseph T. F.
Published: May 2022

Background

Restriction of gathering size in all public areas is a newly and commonly exercised governmental social distancing policy during the COVID-19 pandemic. Its effectiveness depends on the general public’s compliance. This study applied the Protection Motivation Theory (PMT) to investigate determinants (i.e., perceived severity, perceived susceptibility, perceived response efficacy, and perceived self-efficacy) of compliance with the social distancing policy of banning gathering of >4 people in all public areas (BG4PA) in the Hong Kong general adult population.

Methods

300 participants were interviewed through a population-based telephone survey during April 21–28, 2020.

Results

The compliance rate of BG4PA was high (78%). Adjusted for the background factors, multiple linear regression analysis found that perceived response efficacy and perceived self-efficacy were significantly and positively associated with compliance with BG4PA (p<0.05), while the associations between perceived severity/perceived susceptibility and compliance were of marginal significance (0.05<p<0.10). A stepwise linear regression model considered four PMT constructs as candidates; its final model only selected self-efficacy but not the other three PMT constructs.

Conclusions

PMT can be applied to understand compliance with BG4PA. Perceived response efficacy and perceived self-efficacy were more influential than perceived severity and perceived susceptibility. Health promotion may focus on improving coping appraisal.
Debating ‘Chineseness’ and ‘national identity’ in the Sinophone Malaysian films The Journey (2014) and Ola Bola (2016)
Authors: Chew Hui Yan
Published: May 2022

Adopting the theoretical framework employed in Sinophone studies, this article focuses on Sinophone Malaysian filmmaker Chiu Keng Guan, whose films mark the revival of commercial Sinitic language filmmaking in Malaysia. Through textual analysis of Chiu’s two filmsThe Journey(2014) andOla Bola(2016), this article examines how the narratives and languages used in these Sinophone Malaysian films portray the place-based culture and experience of the Sinophone communities and other ethnic groups in Malaysia. It also looks at how ‘Chineseness’ is employed by Chiu as a strategy to construct a collective identity and memory for Sinophone community members in order to connect them with their cultural roots as well as generate interest in the film, as demonstrated in the filmThe Journey. The example of the movieOla Bolais used to assess how the filmmaker Chiu, who is Malaysian Chinese, questions the idea of ‘national identity’ by twisting the film plot, which was itself inspired by a real event.

Authors: Tassell Catriona , Bardey Aurore , Schat Anke
Published: May 2022

This experiment aims to measure the psychological impact of wearing (un)sustainable clothing on emotions. Baseline levels of subjective well-being in a sample (N = 39) were used to allocate participants to conditions: Group 1: wearing plain T-shirts; Group 2: wearing ‘sustainable’ T-shirts and Group 3: wearing ‘unsustainable’ T-shirts. Analysis showed statistically significant differences in positive (H(2) = 11.600, p = 0.003) and negative (H(2) = 20.046, p < 0.001) feelings. Participants wearing sustainable clothing felt more positive (Median [Mdn] = 26) than participants wearing unsustainable clothing (Mdn = 20, p = 0.002). Participants wearing unsustainable clothing felt more negative (Mdn = 15) than participants wearing sustainable clothing (Mdn = 7, p < 0.001) and participants wearing a plain T-shirt (Mdn = 8, p = 0.004). This study highlights the existence of a relationship between what we wear and how we feel, reinforcing the importance of knowing the source of our clothing.
Behind 11 million likes: Sustainable fashion on Instagram – A critical analysis of actors and discourses on fashion, sustainability and social change
Authors: Vladimirova Katia
Published: May 2022

Social media has become an indispensable part of the daily lives of billions of people globally and, among its many functions, provides online space for conversations about socially important topics. Sustainability dimensions of the fashion system is a growing area of public interest, both in terms of production and consumption practices. This study explores online conversations about sustainable fashion on Instagram and maps the ongoing discourse in terms of actors, themes and views of social change that is required to achieve more sustainability in the fashion system. Instagram is a photo-sharing app owned by Facebook and a social media network of choice of the Millennial and Gen Z women, who are also main consumers of fast fashion, which makes it the perfect source of data for discourse analysis. Using the CrowdTangle tool, the 500 most influential Instagram posts that contained references to sustainable fashion from March 2020 to February 2021 were analysed. The analysis revealed that Instagram discourse on sustainable fashion is dominated by product-promoting messages from brands that communicate directly using their accounts or via collaborations with influencers. While the discourse is polycentric and there are many actors behind the most influential posts, the most numerous communications are from two brands: H&M (@hm) and Reliance Polyester (@r.elan.official). In terms of discussions about social change, these conversations were present almost exclusively in non-sponsored posts of influencers, media, industry associations and non-profit organizations. Social change is discussed in relation to the production side of the fashion system, including nuanced reflections on the role of systemic racism and poverty in fashion supply chains, moving towards local production and using new business models to scale down. However, the main emphasis in references to social change is on consumers’ actions and choices rather than on systemic change: buying less and refusing fast fashion, switching to second hand and using garments for longer.

Language and identity of a Korean transnational youth in the U.S.
Authors: Pang Myoung Eun
Published: May 2022

The importance of multilingual use for the overall personal and educational development of transnational population is well documented, and many scholars have supported that language relates to identity. Given that adolescence is a critical period of identity construction, it is crucial to understand how transnational youth construct their transnational identity in adolescence, bordering across multiple languages and cultures in their everyday lives. Therefore, the current study examines the language and identity of one Korean transnational adolescent who lives with her family in the U.S. The purpose of this study is to explore how one Korean-American transnational adolescent youth navigates her identities utilizing her diverse linguistic and cultural repertoires in a range of contextual spaces. This qualitative case study collected semi-structured interview data to explore the following research questions: 1) How does a second generation Korean American transnational adolescent self-identify? and 2) How is her identity interconnected with her linguistic and cultural investment? This current study found that the participant has sites of specific identities as Korean or American: three distinct contexts of family, school, and community. In addition, the findings showed that the participant’s identity is related to her linguistic and cultural investment in transnational contexts.
Lack of analytical interference of dydrogesterone in progesterone immunoassays
Authors: Eggersmann Tanja K. , Wolthuis Albert , van Amsterdam Peter H. , Griesinger Georg
Published: May 2022

Objectives

Progesterone, a sex steroid, is measured in serum by immunoassay in a variety of clinical contexts. One potential limitation of steroid hormone immunoassays is interference caused by compounds with structural similarity to the target steroid of the assay. Dydrogesterone (DYD), an orally active stereoisomer of progesterone, is used for various indications in women’s health. Herein, we report a systematic in vitro investigation of potential interference of DYD and its active metabolite 20α-dihydrodydrogesterone (DHD) in seven widely used, commercially available progesterone assays.

Methods

Routine human plasma samples were anonymized and pooled to create three graded concentration levels of progesterone (P4 high, P4 medium, P4 low). Each pooled P4 plasma sample (6–7 mL) was spiked at high, medium, and “none” concentration with DYD/DHD and was divided into 0.5 mL aliquots. The blinded aliquots were analyzed by seven different laboratories with their routine progesterone assay (six different immunoassays and one liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry assay, respectively) within the Dutch working group on endocrine laboratory diagnostics of the Dutch Foundation for Quality Assessments in Medical Laboratories.

Results

The sample recovery rate (P4 result obtained for sample spiked with DYD/DHD, divided by the result obtained for the corresponding sample with no DYD/DHD × 100) was within a ±10% window for the medium and high P4 concentrations, but more variable for the low P4 samples. The latter is, however, attributable to high inter- and intra-method variability at low P4 concentrations.

Conclusions

This study does not indicate any relevant interference of DYD/DHD within routinely used progesterone assays.

Published: May 2022

In light of the recent COVID-19 pandemic, the demand for hydrogen peroxide has increased significantly due to its widespread use in disinfectant formulations. The present study aims to develop an efficient nanohybrid material as catalyst support for the successful hydrogenation of ethylanthraquinone for the production of hydrogen peroxide. Co-precipitation and wet impregnation methods were used to prepare nanohybrid Zr–Al–La supported Pd catalyst (Pd/Zr–Al–La). The high surface area (146.56 m2/g) of Zr–Al–La makes it suitable to use as support and causes to lower the mass transfer resistance and dispersion of active metal. XRF, BET, FTIR, and TGA were used to characterize the developed catalyst. The catalytic activity of the developed catalyst was studied using a high-pressure autoclave reactor to obtain a notable yield of H2O2 as 93.8% at 75 °C, 0.3 MPa, and 0.5 g of catalyst dose, a significant enhancement over the traditional Pd catalyst with Al2O3 support (63%) with the loss of active quinone compound. The mass transfer limitation of the reaction is high using only a Pd catalyst. The calculated mass transfer resistance of the reaction over Pd/Zr–Al–La catalyst was found to be moderate with a diffusion coefficient of the reactant (H2) as 0.0133 × 10−6 m2/s at 75 °C. It was also verified and confirmed with the Thiele modulus (calculated as 0.0314), no mass transfer resistance. The effectiveness factor (η

s
) was found to be 1.0, indicating the negligible mass transfer resistance in the hydrogenation reaction using Pd/Zr–Al–La catalyst.
Pragmatic impairment and COVID-19
Authors: Cummings Louise
Published: May 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic is the greatest global health threat in over 100 years. Its impact is seen in large numbers of premature deaths and the loss of economic stability for many millions of people. A significant number of people who contract the SARS-CoV-2 virus – the virus that causes COVID disease – experience symptoms many months after their acute illness. So-called Long COVID is now a recognized condition, with many affected individuals unable to return to work and engage in other daily activities. Among the complex symptoms of this condition is “brain fog”, a constellation of cognitive-linguistic problems that manifest as forgetfulness, word-finding difficulty, a lack of attention and concentration, and problems engaging in conversation. In this paper, I examine two women who had moderate COVID-19 infection during the first wave of the pandemic in Belgium and the UK. Both participants reported cognitive-linguistic difficulties several months after first becoming unwell. The UK participant is a native English speaker while the participant in Belgium speaks English as a second language. Case studies are used to examine their pre-morbid functioning and lifestyle, the onset and course of their COVID illness, and its impact on their language skills. It is argued that Long COVID has the potential to disrupt pragmatic and discourse skills even as structural language skills are intact. As such, this condition requires further systematic study by clinical linguists and speech-language pathologists.
External field alignment of nickel-coated carbon fiber/PDMS composite for biological monitoring with high sensitivity

Published: May 2022

Flexible, pressure-sensitive composites can be prepared through the inclusion of electrically conductive particles as functional fillers into an elastomeric polymer matrix, which have been used for the applications of wearable devices for health monitoring and electronic skins. A key challenge associated with these composites is developing anisotropic pressure sensitivity while retaining their flexibility (or low filler content). Herein, we demonstrate a simple and scalable method for aligning anisotropic nickel-coated carbon fibers (NiCF) along with the thickness direction of a polymer matrix by applying a magnetic field. The aligning mechanisms and kinetics of NiCF in the polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) precursor are revealed by in situ optical microscopy images while a magnetic field is applied. The aligned nickel-coated carbon fibers in the polymer effectively endow the composite films excellent pressure-sensitive performance. The pressure sensitivity of NiCF/PDMS composite films has been systematically studied and can be used for biological monitoring. We believe that this magnetic field assisted processing strategy provides a promising material solution for manufacturing fiber embedded polymer composites with enhanced pressure sensitivity, which is essential for future wearable health monitoring electronics and electronic skin.
The Case and Finiteness Restrictions of Italian Relativeche

This paper addresses the restrictions of Italian relativeche‘what’ to finite environments and direct case gaps. While the standard analysis takes these restrictions to follow from the C status ofche, this paper argues for an alternative approach, according to whichcheis a DP, on a par with other interrogative and relative elements. Specifically, it is argued that relativecheis identical to interrogativecheand relativecui‘what.obl’ in the narrow syntactic derivation, up to the point oftransfer. Realization of relativecheis then blocked atextwith oblique case gaps by the more specificcui, along the lines of the Elsewhere Principle. The status ofcuias a specialized relative element is also discussed. The restriction to finiteness for relativecheis treated as an instance of a more general phenomenon that precludes bare DPs from occurring at the edge of infinitival relatives. Here I adopt and extend (Richards, Norvin. 2010.Uttering trees. Cambridge, Massachusetts: MIT Press) Distinctness Theory to account for the facts of Italian.
Effect of Natural Agents on the Mechanical and Flame Retardant Properties of Cotton Fabric–Dyeing Technique
Authors: Mohanraj Saravanan
Published: May 2022

Home textile products manufactured and exported in huge quantities from Karur, Namakkal, Erode, and Salem are the established foremost important geographical locations centers in Southern India. The cotton fibers are less resistant to fire and that leads to unexpected accidents, thus there is an importance of the flame retardance tendency for home textiles. Eco-friendly herbal extract–dyed cotton has been investigated for tensile strength and flame retardant properties. The current research elaborately studies the antibacterial dyed cotton fabric materials in terms of improved flame retardant property through eco-friendly herbal extracts to cotton fabrics with simultaneous analysis on their tensile strength properties. The mangosteen-dyed cotton fabrics showed better results with specifications of 140 g/m2, plain weave with 40 % dye concentration, 240 g/m2, terry weave with 40 % dye concentration and untreated cotton fabrics of 140 g/m2 and 240 g/m2 had the tensile strength of 237.87 kg/cm2, 288.69 kg/cm2 and 238.38 kg/cm2, 288.47 kg/cm2. The flame response studies revealed the the burning time increases from 35 s for untreated 140 g/m2 plain cotton fabric to 50 s and 45 s for the fabrics dyed with mangosteen and borage. Correspondingly, the burning rate changes from 320 mm/min for untreated 140 g/m2 plain cotton fabrics to 290 mm/min and 300 mm/min for mangosteen- and borage-dyed fabrics, respectively. The limited oxygen index (LOI) test results showed that the borage-dyed fabrics exhibited little increased LOI values of 20 over the other treated samples on an average of LOI of 19 in comparison with the untreated cotton fabrics of LOI 18.
Use of the tetrazolium test for estimating the physiological quality of seeds
Authors: França-Neto José de Barros , Krzyzanowski Francisco Carlos
Published: May 2022

The tetrazolium test has been developed and improved since the early years of the 20 th century. Hundreds of seed specialists have dedicated their efforts for perfecting the methodology of the test for several species. Among these seeds experts, two of them deserve special recognition,
Dr. Georg Lakon and Dr. Robert P. Moore, whose achievements had fundamental importance for the further development of the test. The test relies on the activity of certain dehydrogenase enzymes and indirectly measures the respiration capability of the living tissues of the seeds. The initial
objective of the test was to quickly determine seed viability. Later on, it focussed on estimating seed vigour and more recently in diagnosing the possible causes that contribute to reduce the physiological quality of seed lots, such as mechanical damage, weathering damage and insect problems.
Nowadays, the methodology of the tetrazolium test has been perfected for seeds of several species, including agricultural, vegetable, horticultural, flower, tree and shrub species. Seed quality control is improved with the use of the tetrazolium test in all phases of seed production such as
harvesting, receiving, before and after seed processing and drying, during storage and before sowing. The test can be applied even before harvesting the crop. The methods for determining vigour will be briefly presented for seeds of the following species: cotton, common bean, maize, soybean,
wheat, sunflower, peanut, Solanaceae, and tropical forage grass seeds. The utilisation of tetrazolium results, as with any vigour test, can assist the categorisation of vigour levels for different seed lots and for estimating the performance of these lots in the field under optimum and stressful
conditions.

Legal aid is a concept in response to the community's need for the adage "law is sharp down, blunt up". The existence of Law Number 16 of 2011 concerning Legal Aid cannot be separated from the legal reform agenda that gives citizens the right to obtain justice and the right to a fair and impartial trial, including through the provision of legal aid. Legal aid is part of the advocate profession which is a noble profession or officium nobile because it requires the defense of all people regardless of background, race, skin color, religion, culture, socioeconomic, rich-poor, belief, politics, gender, and ideology.
Laboratory Testing Performance of Hot Mix Asphalt Containing Waste Materials
Authors: Susanto Hery Awan , Susanto Hery Awan , Mulyono Bagyo
Published: May 2022

Abstract. Road conditions are frequently subjected to damage that outlasts the road's design life. One of these is due to the material's mechanical capability, which is insufficient to withstand traffic loads and weather conditions. The incorporation of plastic and tire waste into Hot Mix Asphalt is one of the efforts to improve the material's mechanical quality (HMA). In addition to reducing the asphalt concentration in the mixture, the percentage of plastic and tire debris reduces the environmental impact. The use of plastic and tire waste in HMA can aid in the creation of green roads. The goal of this research is to see how plastic and tire waste affect HMA performance in Marshall testing. The research was conducted by making test samples with variations of waste materials percentage. Then, the Marshall test was carried out.

Published: May 2022

The relationship between the dynamic water penetration behavior of top coating color and double-coated paper properties, including pore structure, surface roughness, gloss, and surface latex content, was investigated. Top coating was applied onto the precoated paper prepared using different pigment types, thereby having different pore structures. To investigate the effect of dwell time on pore structure and surface latex content, coating speed and the distance between two coating heads of a laboratory coater were adjusted. As the number of pores of the precoated layer increased, the amount of water that penetrated the precoated paper increased, regardless of low shear viscosity of the top coating color. The relative pore ratio and surface properties of the top coated layer were proportional to those of the precoated layer. A UV absorbance analysis was conducted to examine latex binder migration. The latex content on the surface of the coating layer was mainly affected by the dwell time to the dryer after coating.
