Adventures in Communism: Counterculture and Camp in East Berlin
Authors: Smith Jake P. 
Published: May 2017

Abstract | This essay examines the encounter between Western countercultural groups and the urban landscape of East Berlin in the years immediately following the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. Focusing on squatted houses, the underground techno scene, and experimental art projects, the essay argues that countercultural groups who were active in East Berlin in the early 1990s developed a peculiar set of practices that were characterized both by their campy aesthetics and by their temporal indeterminacy. The essay posits that these experimental temporal practices were only possible due to the layered historicity of urban space in the dilapidated, inner-city neighbourhoods of East Berlin. Résumé | Cet essai étudie la rencontre entre les groupes contre-culturels Occidentaux et le paysage urbain de Berlin-Est suite à la chute du Mur de Berlin en 1989. A travers une analyse des squats, de la scène techno « underground » et des projets d’art expérimental, l’essai soutient que les groupes contre-culturels actifs dans le Berlin-Est du début des années 1990 ont développé un ensemble de pratiques caractérisé à la fois par leur esthétique maniérée et leur indétermination temporelle. L’essai avance que seule l’historicité imbriquée de l’espace urbain dans les quartiers pauvres et dilapidés du Berlin-Est a rendu possible ces pratiques temporelles expérimentales.
Archives for the Future
Authors: Ebbrecht-Hartmann Tobias 
Published: May 2017

Abstract | Visual media played a crucial role on nearly all levels of everyday private and public life in the GDR. This essay intends to readjust the focus on GDR visual history by investigating its margins, including ephemeral and semi-official film archives beyond the “official” state-controlled production of images. It does not reexamine such ephemeral cinematic remnants as historical sources but rather as traces that have to be understood in context and appropriated, arranged, and re-read, assembling them as fragments of the past. The specific focus here is on the works of Thomas Heise, a filmmaker who—although prohibited from producing and publicly releasing films during the existence of the GDR—managed to create during that time various audio and visual artifacts as contributions to archives for the future. Résumé | En la RDA les médias visuels ont joué un rôle crucial dans presque tous les domaines de la vie quotidienne, qu’elle soit privée ou publique. Cet essai a pour but de réajuster le focus sur l’histoire visuelle de la RDA en examinant ses marges, en incluant les archives éphémères et semi-officielles au-delà de la production “officielle” d’images. Cet essai ne réexamine pas ces vestiges cinématographiques éphémères en tant que sources historiques, mais comme des traces devant être comprises dans un certain contexte, approprié, arrangé et re-lu. Cette discussion sur les traces cinématographiques éphémères ainsi que les techniques d’assemblage de fragments du passé explore l’oeuvre de Thomas Heise, un réalisateur unique dans son genre qui – bien qu’il soit interdit de produire et de mettre en circulation publiquement des films sous le régime de la RDA – a créé pendant ce temps des artefacts audios et visuels comme contributions aux archives pour l’avenir.
Whose East German Art is This? The Politics of Reception after 1989
Authors: Eisman April A. 
Published: May 2017

Abstract | Beginning with an overview of painting in East Germany, this article examines the German-German Bilderstreit (image battle) of the long 1990s and two major art exhibitions in the new millenium, Kunst in der DDR (Art in the GDR, 2003) and Abschied von Ikarus(Farewell to Icarus, 2012-13). It ultimately argues that the history of East German art has been rewritten since unification in ways that reflect Western expectations and desires more than socialist realities, and shows how art historians, scholars of the German Democratic Republic (GDR, or East Germany), and those seeking alternatives to the neoliberal present can benefit from a less biased view. Résumé | Commençant par un résumé de la peinture en Allemagne de l’Est, cet essai examine la bataille de l’image allemande-allemande dans des longues années 1990 et deux grandes expositions d’art dans le nouveau millénaire, Kunst in der DDR (L’Art en la RDA, 2003) et Abschied von Ikarus (Adieu à Icarus. 2012-13). Il fait valoir en fin de compte que l’histoire de l’art est-allemand a été réécrit depuis l’unification d’une manière qui reflète les attentes et désirs occidentales plus des réalités socialistes, et montre comment les historiens de l’art, les chercheurs de la RDA, et ceux qui cherchent des alternatives au présent néolibéraux peuvent bénéficier d’une perspective moins préjugé.
The “Gentle Lie”: Women and the GDR Medical System in Film and Literature
Authors: Klocke Sonja E. 
Published: May 2017

Abstract | Within the context of medical-historical research, this article compares the depiction of female patients in GDR and post-GDR fictional texts: Lothar Warneke’s Die Beunruhigung (1982), Christa Wolf’s Nachdenken über Christa T. (1968) and Leibhaftig (2002), and Kathrin Schmidt’s Du stirbst nicht (2009). This approach highlights the idiosyncrasies of GDR medicine, which demanded patients’ collaboration in therapeutic measures and hid from them the truth about their conditions. This custom, known as the “gentle lie,” as well as other top-down practices echo the state’s patriarchal attitude towards its citizens, particularly women, evidencing that the GDR claim of gender equality was not practiced in key areas of women’s lives. Furthermore, there is evidence that hierarchical structures denying patients’ agency persist today in eastern Germany. Résumé | Dans une perspective médico-historique, cet article compare la description de patientes dans des récits de fiction de la RDA et de l’ex-RDA: L’Inquiétude (Die Beunruhigung) de Lothar Warneke (1982), Christa T. (Nachdenken über Christa T.) (1968) et Le Corps même(Leibhaftig) de Christa Wolf (2002) ainsi que Tu ne vas pas mourir (Du stirbst nicht) de Kathrin Schmidt (2009). Cette approche met en lumière les idiosyncrasies de la médecine de la RDA, laquelle demandait la collaboration des patients dans les mesures thérapeutiques tout en leur cachant la vérité sur leur condition. Cette pratique—connue sous le nom de « doux mensonge »—ainsi que d’autres pratiques imposées d’en haut reflètent l’attitude patriarcale de l’État envers ses citoyens, et tout particulièrement envers les femmes, preuve que la revendication—faite par la RDA—de l’égalité des sexes n’était pas mise en œuvre dans des secteurs clés de la vie des femmes. En outre, tout porte à croire que les structures hiérarchiques privant les patients d’initiative continuent de se perpétuer aujourd’hui dans l’Est de l’Allemagne.
It Tastes like the East…: The Problem of Taste in the GDR
Authors: Weinreb Alice 
Published: May 2017

Abstract | This essay uses the topic of taste, specifically taste for food, as a way of unpacking the history of the GDR and East-West relations during the late Cold War. It explores the question of East German tastes from two angles: West German fantasies about the inadequacies of the GDR’s food system, and East German nutritionists’ unsuccessful struggles to regulate popular tastes. In particular, it focuses on the moment when popular taste was seen as a serious problem by the GDR state—during the rise of the obesity epidemic in the 1970s and 1980s. Résumé | Cet essai utilise le thème du goût, spécifiquement le goût pour la nourriture, comme un moyen de dévoiler l’histoire de la RDA et les relations Est-Ouest pendant la fin de la guerre froide. Il examine la question des goûts de l’Allemagne de l’Est sous deux angles: Les fantaisies des ouest-allemands sur les insuffisances du système alimentaire de la RDA, et les luttes infructueuses des spécialistes de la nutrition est-allemands pour réglementer les goûts populaires. L’essai se concentre en particulière sur le moment où le goût populaire a été considéré comme un problème grave par l’état de la RDA—pendant l’augmentation de l’épidémie d’obésité dans les années 1970 et 1980.
Troubled Faces: The Melancholy Passion of Anna Seghers’s Die Entscheidung
Authors: Robinson Benjamin 
Published: May 2017

Abstract | Among the plotlines in Anna Seghers’ 1959 novel of socialist construction, Die Entscheidung, the love story remains the most realistic allegory for understanding passionate motivations for socialism. This reading reveals how Seghers has moved the locus of insight from characters in her early novels who gain ideological consciousness in mortal struggle against repression to characters who discover ideological limits in the face of creaturely involvements. The sacrifice of the Catholic wife of a communist engineer points to the persistence of the body, labour, and birth, with their concomitant emotions of compassion and romance. By directing attention away from doctrinaire elements, my reading explores how the particulars of care encounter the generalities of collectivism. Résumé | Dans le roman d’Anna Seghers de 1959, Die Entscheidung, roman de construction socialiste, l’histoire d’amour reste l’allégorie la plus réaliste pour comprendre certaines motivations passionnées pour le socialisme. Cette intervention montre comment Seghers a déplacé le lieu de connaissance de la lutte forcenée contre la répression (dans ses premiers romans) aux personnages qui se heurtent aux limites idéologiques devant leurs engagements corporels. Le sacrifice de la femme catholique d’un ingénieur communiste pointe vers la persistance du corps, du travail et de l’accouchement, avec leurs sentiments de compassion et de rêve. En écartant l’attention des éléments doctrinaires, cette intervention interroge les façons dont les particularités des soins rencontrent les généralités du collectivisme.

Published: May 2017

More and more attentions are paid to the potential effect of graphene oxide (GO) in environment and human beings. In order to evaluate the effect of GO on plant, tobacco BY-2 suspension cells were employed as material, and the physiological effect of GO on tobacco BY-2 suspension cells and its immigration were investigated. The results showed that low concentrations of GO (25 and 50 μg/mL) promoted cells growth (increased by 11.22 % in 50 μg/mL GO), while higher concentrations of GO (100 and 200 μg/mL) induced inhibition in cell growth (decreased by 9.68 % in 200 μg/mL GO). GO caused an increment in activity levels of SOD, POD and CAT, but the activity levels decreased with the extension of culture time in higher concentration. The results showed that GO could make cell nuclei fragment and loose in a higher concentration. These results imply that there is an adverse effect of GO on plant cells, and suggest that nano pollution should be paid attention to.
Combination rules for steel buildings under seismic loading: MDOF vs SDOF systems

Published: May 2017

Some factors influencing the accuracy of the 30 % and SRSS rules commonly used to combine the effects of individual seismic components, are studied. For MDOF systems and earthquake loading the rules underestimate the axial load, but reasonably overestimate the shears. The rules are not always inaccurate in the estimation of the response for correlated components and totally uncorrelated (principal) components are not always related to an accurate estimation. The rules are not always associated to an inaccurate estimation for large values of the correlation of the individual effects (ρ), and small values of ρ are not always associated to principal components and to an accurate estimation. Only for uncorrelated harmonic excitations and elastic behavior of SDOF systems, the individual effects are not correlated, and the rules properly estimate the combined response. It seems like that the rules were developed by using SDOF systems. Thus, the accuracy of the rules varies with the response parameter, the location of the structural element, the model of the structural system and the level of deformation. All these factors should be considered while estimating the combined response according to the rules.
Low-intensity acoustic waves detection using an interferometer
Authors: Álvarez-Ramírez F. J. , Sandoval Romero G. E. 
Published: May 2017

We present a device built in fiber optic capable of detecting acoustic signals in water, using a buzzer as the vibration source, this buzzer operates at a frequency range from 3 kHz to 30 kHz. This device operates under the principle of a Sagnac interferometer, where the acoustic waves emitted by the buzzer are detected as a phase modulation in the monitored signal. The measured phase is due to strain experienced by the fiber optic which is caused by the vibrations emitted by the buzzer. The device can detect signals up to 7 cm away from the acoustic source.
Role of slanted reinforcement on bending capacity SS beams
Authors: Reza Ghasemi Mohammad , Shishegaran Aydin 
Published: May 2017

The wide application range of simply supported beams in building construction, has always caused an attraction to somehow increase their bending capacity with high ductility. In this research, for the very purpose, the reinforcement bars under compression are bent at 45° from 1/3 of the beam length from the two ends and led to the tension zone. A sealed rubber tube of diameter twice that of the reinforcement bar covers the slanted part to separate it from the beam’s concrete. This will in fact reduce the stress intensity created in the bars above and below the neutral plane and increase the beam’s bending capacity considerably through making the two tensile and compressive forces acting opposite to each other. Actually, the proposed system can be specified by applying a superposition of the sum of the effects of the compressive stresses of the reinforcement bars above the beam’s 1/3 ends plus the sum of the effects of the tensile stresses created at 1/3 of the beam midpoint. The compressive stress created in the upper part tends to pass through the slanted part and reach the tensile part, and an opposite act for the tensile stress created in the lower part. Therefore, it is obvious that a compressive force found by the solution of the first superposition equation is applied at the middle 1/3 of the lower part and causes up to 25 % increase in the beam bending capacity.
An approach to fault diagnosis for rotating machinery based on feature reconstruction with LCD and t-SNE
Authors: Chen Jiayu , Zhou Dong , Lyu Chuan , Lu Chen 
Published: May 2017

It is crucial to effectively and accurately diagnose fault of rotating machinery. However, high dimension characteristic of features, which are extracted from vibration signals of Rotating machinery, makes it difficult to recognize accurately fault mode. To resolve this problem, t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding (t-SNE) is introduced to reduce the dimensionality of the feature vector in this paper. Therefore, the article proposes a method for fault diagnosis of Rotating machinery based on local characteristic decomposition-sample entropy (LCD-SampEn), t-SNE and random forest (RF). Firstly, original vibration signals of rotating machinery are decomposed to a number of ISCs by the LCD. Then, feature vector is obtained through calculating SampEn of each ISC. Subsequently, the t-SNE is used to reduce the dimension of the feature vectors. Finally, the reconstructed feature vectors are applied to the RF for implementing the classification of fault patterns. Two cases are studied based on the experimental data of bearing and hydraulic pump fault diagnosis, in which the proposed method can achieve 98.22 % and 98.75 % of diagnosis rate respectively. Compared with the pear methods, the proposed approach exhibits the best performance. The results validate the effectiveness and superiority of the present method.

Geographic information providers are mainly mapping agencies, but also archives preserving geographic data among a wider range of digital information. A supplementary objective is that the paper may provide useful information for providers of all types of geographic information right around the world. There are many reasons why people wish to retain access to information, though the main drivers for archiving digital geographic information are meeting legislative requirements, the short and long term exploitation (re-use not only access) of archived data for analyzing social, environmental (e.g. global climate changes) and economic changes over time as well as efficiency savings in managing superseded datasets.Â This paper sets out the path and describes what needs to be done now to future-proof the investment government agencies around the world have made in creating digital Geographic Data.Â

Published: May 2017

Pembangunan di bidang pertanian dan perkebunan pada tahapan tertentu akan membuka ruang pengembangan bisnis agribisnis dan investasi pihak ketiga di suatu wilayah. Masuknya investor pada wilayah bisnis perkebunan (baca: sawit) akan menjadi stimulus berdirinya pabrik-pabrik pengolahan kalapa sawit dan membuka lapangan pekerjaan bagi masyarakat lokal maupun “pendatang”.
Berdirinya perusahaan perkebunan kelapa sawit berdampak terhadap perekonomian nasional maupun perekonomian masyarakat lokal (baca: Kabupaten Landak atau provinsi Kalimantan Barat). Pendapatan Asli Daerah (PAD) akan meningkat, diperoleh dari pajak perusahaan dan pabrik. Perubahan ekonomi juga dirasakan dengan tumbuhnya pusat-pusat ekonomi dan maraknya bisnis lainnya, seperti perumahan.
Pembangunan perkebunan kelapa sawit juga berdampak terhadap perubahan sosial masyarakat.Tingkat pendidikan dan kesehatan masyarakat lokal menjadi lebih baik, angka putus sekolah berkurang dan asupan gizi bagi anak-anak dapat dipenuhi.
TINJAUAN YURIDIS PENGAKHIRAN SEWA MENYEWA RUMAH YANG DIBUAT SECARA LISAN DI KELURAHAN SUNGAI BELIUNG KECAMATAN PONTIANAK BARAT

Published: May 2017

Seiring berjalannya waktu, perjanjian sewa menyewa yang dibuat tentunya mencapai batas waktu yang ditentukan sesuai kesepakatan kedua belah pihak. Untuk jangka waktu sewa pada perjanjian lisan diketahui pada bukti pembayaran berupa kuitansi yang didalamnya tercantum masa sewa. Perjanjian sewa menyewa diatur dalam ketentuan Buku Ketiga, Bab Ketujuh, Pasal 1548 sampai Pasal 1600 KUHPerdata. Perjanjian sewa menyewa termasuk dalam perjanjian bernama. Perjanjian ini adalah suatu perjanjian konsensuil, artinya perjanjian ini sudah sah dan mengikat pada detik tercapainya kesepakatan mengenai unsur-unsur pokoknya, yaitu barang dan harga. Peraturan tentang sewa menyewa ini berlaku untuk segala macam sewa menyewa, mengenai semua jenis barang, baik barang bergerak maupun tidak bergerak, yang memakai waktu tertentu maupun yang tidak memakai waktu tertentu, karena waktu tertentu bukan syarat mutlak untuk perjanjian sewa menyewa. Sewa menyewa tidak ada penyerahan dalam arti pengalihan hak milik, yang terjadi adalah penyerahan kekuasaan atas suatu barang untuk dinikmati penyewa. Oleh karena itu, tidak dituntut atau tidak dipersyaratkan bahwa yang menyerahkan barang harus pemilik barang, sebagaimana halnya dalam perjanjian jual beli atau tukar menukar. Jadi, meskipun seseorang hanya mempunyai “hak menikmati hasil” atas suatu barang dan “bukan pemilik”, yang bersangkutan sudah dapat secara sah menyewakan barang terkecuali hak menikmati hasil yang ditimbulkan dari sewa menyewa itu sendiri tanpa adanya ijin dari yang menyewakan atau perjanjian untuk sewa yang ditentukan oleh Undang-undang, seperti diperbolehkannya penyewa rumah untuk menyewakan ulang sebagian rumah yang disewanya.
Perjanjian sewa menyewa yakni merupakan perjanjian yang sederhana, dapat dibuat sendiri (akta bawah tangan) atau dibuat dihadapan notaris (akta notariil). Berdasarkan penelitian atas perjanjian sewa menyewa rumah dilapangan, terdapat klausula bahwa setelah jangka waktu sewa berakhir sedangkan penyewa tidak memperpanjang waktu sewa, maka penyewa wajib segera mengosongkan rumah tersebut dalam keadaan baik dan menyerahkan kunci rumah kepada pihak yang menyewakan.
Analisis Proses Bisnis Sistem Pembuatan Surat Perintah Perjalanan Dinas Kantor Regional II PT.Pos Indonesia
Authors: Silvana Meza , Fajrin Hafiz , . Danton 
Published: May 2017

Surat Perintah Perjalanan Dinas (SPPD) merupakan surat perintah kerja yang diberikan oleh atasan atau kepala kantor kepada pegawai untuk melakukan tugas kerja ke instansi atau kantor yang ada di tempat lain. Dalam proses pembuatan SPPD, sebuah instansi pemerintah maupun swasta kebanyakan masih dilakukan secara sederhana dengan pencatatan manual menggunakan bantuan microsoft office, belum menggunakan aplikasi khusus dalam proses pembuatan SPPD. Hal ini mengakibatkan sistem menjadi kurang efektif dan efisien, baik dari segi materi maupun waktu. Untuk mengatasi permasalahan tersebut, perlu dibangun sebuah sistem yang terkomputerisasi proses pengelolaan data perjalanan dinas pegawai. Sistem yang diusulkan tersebut dapat membantu dalam pembuatan surat tugas perjalanan dinas pegawai, pengelolaan biaya, penghitungan biaya, pencetakan surat tugas dan pencetakan kwitansi biaya perjalanan. Dengan adanya sistem informasi perjalanan dinas yang terkomputerisasi ini dapat memudahkan instansi untuk membuat surat perjalanan dinas dan pengelolaan data perjalanan dinas terkelola lebih baik. Kata Kunci— SPPD, pencatatan, instansi, komputerisasi.
