Study on the Ability of PCMSR to Produce Valuable Isotopes as a By Product of Energy Generation
Authors: Widiharto Andang 
Published: May 2018

PCMSR (Passive Compact Molten Salt Reactor) is a variant of MSR (Molten Salt Reactor) type reactors. The MSR is one type of the Advanced Nuclear Reactor types. PCMSR uses mixtures of fluoride salt if the liquid form is in a high temperature operation. The use of liquid salt fuel allows the application of on line fuel processing system. The on line fuel processing system allows extraction of several valuable fission product isotopes such as Mo-99, Cs-137, Sr-89 etc. The capability of MSR to produce several valuable isotopes has been studied. This study is based on a denaturized breeder MSR design with 920 MWth of thermal power and 500 MWe of electrical output power with the thermal efficiency of 55 %. The initial composition of fuel salt is 70 % of a mole of LiF, 24 % of a mole of 232ThF4, 6 % of a mole of UF4. The enrichment level of U is 20 % of a mole of U-235. The study is performed by a numerical calculation to solve a set of differential equations of fission product balance. This calculation calculates fission product generation due to fission reaction, precursor decay, and fission product annihilation due to decay, neutron absorption, and extraction. The calculation result shows that in quasi equilibrium conditions, the reactor can produce several valuable isotopes in substantially sufficient quantities, those are Sr-89 (0.3 kCi/MWth/day, Sr-90 (1,91 Ci/MWth/day), Mo-99 (1.7 kCi/MWth/day), I-131 (0.42 kCi/MWth/day), I-132 (0.782 kCi/MWth/day), I-133 (1.12 kCi/MWth/day), Xe-133 (11.8 Ci/MWth/day), Cs-134 (39.3 mCi/MWth/day), Cs-137 (2.32 Ci/MWth/day) and La-140 (1.05 kCi/MWth/day).

Published: May 2018

Abstract
Introduction. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation is applied in muscle atrophy and in muscle strength and endurance training in athletes. Muscle soreness and temporary reduction in muscle strength may occur as adverse effects. Laser therapy has been used as a method of counteracting delayed onset muscle soreness following volitional exercise, but not following electrical stimulation. The aim of the study was to determine whether low-level laser therapy applied prior to electrical stimulation accelerates the recovery of muscle strength and decreases the duration and intensity of muscle soreness at rest after intensive isometric neuromuscular electrical stimulation of the quadriceps femoris muscle. Material and methods. A randomised crossover trial was carried out on 24 healthy, recreationally active men aged 22-24 years. Low-level laser therapy or sham laser therapy was applied prior to a single session of neuromuscular electrical stimulation of the quadriceps femoris muscle with typical technical and training-related parameters. Irradiations were performed immediately prior to and shortly after electrical stimulation as well as 24, 48, 72, and 96 hours after this procedure. Muscle soreness was examined using the VAS scale in the same time periods. Quadriceps moments of force were recorded with the use of a Biodex 4 Pro device during maximum voluntary static contraction and during electrical stimulation that triggered a tetanic contraction of the quadriceps femoris muscle reaching the level of maximum tolerance. Results. No significant differences were noted in the severity of quadriceps soreness and in the magnitude of the decrease in the moments of force of maximum voluntary contractions after stimulation preceded by laser therapy and that preceded by sham irradiations. Conclusions. In the group studied, laser therapy applied before single electrical stimulation with typical parameters did not bring about a faster recovery of muscle strength or a more rapid decrease in soreness than sham laser therapy used prior to electrical stimulation. Further research on larger groups of subjects with the application of various procedures as well as research on training programmes is needed.

Abstract
Introduction. Studies have demonstrated an important role of muscle strength and endurance in climbing. However, little research has explored the speed parameters of the muscles of climbers. This study aimed to evaluate biomechanical indices of the functional status of the upper limbs in climbers. Material and methods. Group G1 (n = 3) were athletes who were able to climb 8c+/9a climbing routes using the red-point style and 7c+/8b routes with the on-sight style. Group G2 (n = 5) comprised climbers who were able to climb 8a/8b+ and 7b+/8a routes, respectively. Maximum muscle torques were measured in the elbow and arm flexors and extensors. Hand grip tests, dynamometric arm strength tests, and laboratory endurance tests were conducted. Results. Strength parameters in both joints were similar in the two groups of climbers. Maximum absolute values of hand grip, crimp grip, and global arm force in hanging did not differ between the groups. Furthermore, significant differences were found for relative indices (from circa 3% to circa 12%). No significant differences were recorded for the parameters of muscle speed. Furthermore, no significant effect of the subjects’ skill level on the results of endurance tests was found. The results obtained in the groups of athletes (G1, G2, and G1+2) were compared with the values recorded in a control group of students (GC, n = 48). Conclusions. Elite climbers were found to have an advantage over the controls only in strength and muscular endurance. No significant differences were observed in the results of speed tests in the muscles of the athletes and students examined in the study. The climbers (G1 and G2) differed in the strength potential of their muscles, but only when relative force indices were analysed. No differences were found in the biomechanical variables of speed and muscular endurance. Conventional tests are typically not a valuable diagnostic tool for the evaluation of climbers.

Abstract
Introduction. The aim of the study was to determine the changes in selected motor parameters of highly skilled field hockey players during the training macrocycle. It was assumed that the changes in the parameters examined in the study would correspond with the hypothesised variation related to the adaptive changes that were expected to take place. Material and methods. The study involved eleven field hockey players from the KS AZS-AWF Poznań club (age = 22.3 ± 1.1 years; height = 176.5 ± 4.0 cm; weight = 75.2 ± 6.3 kg; %FM = 12.2 ± 3.9%; VO2max = 55.4 ± 4.85 ml/kg/min). The dates of the measurements were agreed on with the trainers, who played an active role in the study, and were consistent with the cycle of planned measurements that were aimed at assessing the implementation of training/competition loads (two measurements during the preparatory period and one during the competition period). We examined the fundamental elements of motor preparation that are considered important in field hockey, that is speed endurance, running speed, and aerobic endurance. These assessments were supplemented by the measurements of lactate concentration in capillary blood as well as those of jumping ability and agility. Results. In most cases, the changes in the actual results corresponded with the hypothesised values adopted for the training. The relationships between the levels of particular parameters of the players’ motor skills were adequate to a great extent. Conclusion. The effects of the training observed both for the entire team and for individual players were generally in line with the goals of the training/ competition loads implemented. Any discrepancies that were found were identified and corrected by regulating individual exercise loads and were monitored in subsequent measurements.

<p><em>Bintara – Bekasi is one area where garbage becomes a source of living for people staying in that area. There are approximately 200 families living in Bintara traditional material recovery site. This facility is managed by 10 bosses, who rent land to collect trash. Each boss manages 17 -20 families. Their main jobs are scavengers and trash collectors in the neighbourhood area. The type of this research is experimental research, because there are no available data yet so that data have to be created first. The result of this research can be used to develop innovation in order to increase the quality of life of the trash collectors community.</em><em>Total participants are 14 families who have been working as scavengers for more than 5 years in Bintara</em><em>. The first questionnaires were developed to measure attitude, intention and behavior to have a changing quality of life, based on the theory of reasoned action. The second questionnaires were developed to predict the level of knowledge, orientation and motivation of participants. The first part of education theme consisted of four modules: </em><em>biopore absorption hole, making compost and local microorganism , handicraft from recycled materials and planting vegetable seed in used plastic container. The second education materials are delivered into several scenarios, including: together nurturing the material recovery site as the economic source of families, together nurturing the surrounding environment for the health of community</em><em>, together maintaining good attitude (greet and respect each other, willingness to listen, eagerness to learn, willingness to cooperate, and openess), occupational safety and health as well as the concept of separating organic and inorganic waste at the source. The implementation of these modules was quite successful because the participants were willing to follow the education process and participate actively. Overall, the </em><em>attitude, intention and behavior</em><em> of the participants on education process were strongly positive, although there were decreasing score on the final measurement. The decreasing score was influenced by the education process that has been conducted before, because some participants were facing difficulties in implementing the education materials in their daily lives, they were reluctant due to extra energy needed to implement it, and the hot environment that makes them feel tired rapidly. The family background of the participants were farm workers in Karawang and Indramayu, where they thought farm workers were more difiicult to make a living. They considered that being scavengers and trash collectors gave them more economic benefit , so that they do not want to do any more work related to cultivate soils and planting crops.</em></p>

<p><em>An inventory management system in supply chains called Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) is very promising due to the cost efficiency resulted from implementing such system. This research aims to develop a vendor managed inventory for multiple retailers. The model also takes into account lead time uncertainties from vendor to its retailers. A mathematical formulation for VMI with multiple retailers is first developed using deterministic lead times. Subsequently, lead times uncertainties are then taken into account where modes lead times are broken into two components: modes and delays, each with their respective probabilities. In turn, an approximation model is used to solve the problem because the complexity aroused from the model is difficult to solve using analytical methods. It is shown that the proposed approximation method is able to solve VMI problem with multiple retailers and uncertain lead times. Furthermore, the total inventory cost is significantly reduced when compared to the usual economic order quantity method because stockouts are less frequent. </em></p>
Reconfiguration transculturelle du «Roi grenouille» : processus scripturaires et réception
Authors: Charnay Bochra 
Published: May 2018

«Le Roi Grenouille» est un conte rare dans ses adaptations françaises en album pour enfants, il l'est donc bien plus encore dans ses traductions pour un jeune public de l'autre côté de la Méditerranée. Nous avons cependant réussi à rassembler un corpus que nous explorerons sous l'angle de la polyphonie et des réinvestissements culturels. Nous verrons comment ces albums, oscillant entre découverte d'une culture autre et appropriation par la culture d'accueil, reconfigurent le texte de Grimm et comment les illustrations manifestent ces deux pôles. Notre attention se portera évidemment sur le sens du texte et ses valeurs culturelles ainsi que sur les processus scripturaires qui le réactualisent, mais il s'agit surtout de savoir si nous avons affaire à un véritable processus d'acculturation ou un simple processus de transmission.

Mots clés : réécriture, transculturalité, polyphonie, acculturation, surenchère iconique.
Comment changer une grenouille en prince ? Les metamorphoses traductives de « Der Froschkönig oder der eiserme Heinrich» en anglais, d' Edgar Taylor a Philip Pullman
Authors: Hennard Dutheil de la Rochère Martine 
Published: May 2018

La fortune des Kinder- und Hausmärchen (1812-1857) doit beaucoup aux traducteurs et illustrateurs qui ont façonné un imaginaire des contes de Grimm parfois très éloigné des récits réunis par les érudits allemands. Tel est le cas de la première traduction anglaise de « Der Froschkönig oder der eiserne Heinrich ». L’histoire de la réception de ce conte emblématique débute avec « The Frog-Prince », une libre traduction-adaptation d’Edgard Taylor et de son collaborateur David Jardine parue dans German Popular Stories (1823-1826). Destinée à de jeunes lecteurs, cette première traduction (ou transcréation) rencontrera un succès considérable en Angleterre et au-delà. Suivront de nombreuses retraductions qui se distinguent par leur « fidélité » à la source allemande, ou poursuivent le travail d’infantilisation dans des livres illustrés ou des albums pour la jeunesse. Cet article s’attache en particulier à une version récente de Philip Pullman dans Grimm Tales for Young and Old (2012) réalisée à partir des traductions classiques de Margaret Hunt, Ralph Manheim et Jack Zipes. « The Frog-King, or Iron Heinrich » récapitule en quelque sorte l’histoire de la réception anglaise du conte des Grimm, tout en proposant une lecture inédite de cette histoire plus singulière qu’elle n’en a l’air, en mettant en évidence la dimension « queer » du récit. Chaque traduction s’apparente ainsi à une relecture (retelling) créative et critique d’un conte lui-même palimpseste, dont elle souligne les infinies capacités de métamorphose – à l’image de la grenouille enchantée.

This study aim to compare the ability of women’s entrepreneurship and men’s entrepreneurship in the unit for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) in Bandung City. Women’s entrepreneurship has a significant role in SME. Their great contributions support the economy of Indonesia. According Buchari (2013) women entrepreneur has the ability to predict the future (future oriented). They tend to view into the future when making a decision. In terms of predicting the state, women tend to be on the safe area (self player). While in terms of independence, male entrepreneurs tend to be more independent than women entrepreneurs. Several previous studies have said that there is a difference between entrepreneurial skills of women and men, but not significant. In this research, we want to see the difference entrepreneurial skills of women and men in SMEs in Bandung City. The sampling was done by cluster sampling method based on the administrative area of Bandung city and random sampling method. Respondents participated in demographic factors and factors of entrepreneurship abilities. Data analyzed by using SEM (Structural Equation Modeling) and processing with AMOS program.

High employee engagement can have a positive effect on the progress of a company's business, including one of them is an insurance company. One of the factors that can shape employee attachment, whether it increases employee engagement, even lowers it, is the existing recruitment system in the company concerned. When an employee is recruited, starting from the first call-up session, until the employee enters the first day of work, the employee must pass through a series of recruitment systems. This research is conducted with the intention to test and know the factors that can increase employee's attachment one of which consists of recruitment system, and also by using work environment as moderation variable. The results show that employee selection and job design have a direct influence in establishing employee engagement, while the new employee orientation will increase employee engagement if moderated or reinforced by the environmental factors in which they work, and has no direct effect on increasing employee engagement.
