Published: February 2017

Pelaksanaan penanganan jalan di Kabupaten Kudus banyak terjadi ketidakseimbangan paket-paket pekerjaan penanganan jalan seperti banyaknya jalan yang belum mendapat penanganan baik pemeliharaan maupun peningkatan. Selama ini yang digunakan dalam penentuan skala prioritas penanganan jalan didasarkan pada ketersediaan anggaran dan nilai manfaat finansial jalan saja. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah memperoleh urutan prioritas penanganan jalan di Kabupaten Kudus, secara tepat dengan melibatkan pihak-pihak yang terkait. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode AHP dengan 5 (lima) kriteria yang dipakai untuk menentukan prioritas penanganan jalan, yaitu kerusakan jalan, mobilitas, volume lalu lintas, tingkat aksesibilitas, dan pengembangan wilayah. Berdasarkan analisa AHP diperoleh tingkat kepentingan bobot masing-masing kriteria untuk menentukan prioritas penanganan jalan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kriteria kerusakan jalan memperoleh bobot tertinggi, yaitu 45,06% kemudian kriteria mobilitas 20,62%, kriteria volume lalu lintas 14,53%, kriteria tingkat aksesibilitas 12,78%, dan kriteria pengembangan wilayah 7,01%. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini bahwa perlu adanya kriteria-kriteria sebagai tolok ukur untuk menentukan dalam prioritas penanganan jalan agar pengalokasian anggaran tepat sasaran.Saran dari penelitian ini dalam menentukan prioritas penanganan jalan di Kabupaten Kudus sebaiknya mempertimbangkan beberapa kriteria sebagai dasar prioritas penanganan jalan. [Title: The Determination of The scale Priorities for Handling in Kudus Use Analytical Hierarchy Process Method]. The implementation of the road handling in Kudus, in fact is found many imbalances packets roads handling jobs like many roads yet had a good handling maintenance and enhancement. So far in setting priorities scale was based on an assessment of the availability of the budget and the value of the financial benefits. The purpose of this study is to obtain an assessment of the priority order in Kudus appropriately involving related parties. This study used AHP with 5 (five) criteria that were used to determine the priority of the road, which is damage to roads, mobility, traffic volume, accessibility, and regional development. Based on AHP analysis, we can found the level of importance weight of each criterion for determining priority road handling. The results showed that the damage criteria to obtain the highest weight, i.e. 45.06% and 20.62% mobility criteria, the criteria of traffic volume 14.53%, 12.78% level of accessibility criteria, and the criteria for regional development 7.01%. Therefore, we need criteria as a benchmark to determine the priority of the road so that the budget allocation is well targeted. The suggestion of this research in deciding the priority of roads handling in Kudus should consider some criteria as the basic priorities for the handling of the road.

Kebutuhan akan listrik baik untuk kalangan industri, perkantoran, maupun masyarakat umum dan perorangan sangat meningkat. Tetapi, peningkatan kebutuhan listrik ini tidak diiringi oleh penambahan pasokan listrik. Berdasarkan permasalahan tersebut, energi surya dipilih sebagai energi alternatif untuk menghasilkan energi listrik. Alat yang digunakan disini adalah sel surya, karena dapat mengkonversikan langsung radiasi sinar matahari menjadi energi listrik (proses photovoltaic). Agar energi surya dapat digunakan pada malam hari, maka pada siang hari energi listrik yang dihasilkan disimpan terlebih dahulu ke baterai yang dikontrol oleh regulator. Keluaran regulator langsung dihubungkan dengan inverter dari arus DC ke AC. Hasil pengujian modul surya (photovoltaic) terlihat bahwa hasil daya keluaran rata-rata mencapai 38,24 Watt,dan arus yang didapatkan sebesar 2,49 A (Ampere). Hal ini dikarenakan photovoltaic saat mengikuti arah pergerakan matahari akan selalu memposisikan photovoltaic untuk tetap menghadap matahari sehingga tetap akan dapat menangkap pancaran matahari secara maksimal. [Title: Design Analysis of System Power Solar Cells Capacity of 50 Wp] The need for electricity is good for the industry, offices, and public and individuals are greatly increased. However, the increase in demand for electricity is not accompanied by the additional power supply. Based on these problems, chosen solar energy as an alternative energy to generate electric power. A tool that is used here is the solar cell because it can directly convert solar radiation into electrical energy (photovoltaic process). So that solar energy can be used at night, then during the day, the electrical energy generated is stored before a battery which is controlled by the regulator. Regulator output is directly connected to the inverter from the DC to AC. The test results of solar modules (photovoltaic) indicated that the results of the average power output reached 38.24 Watt, and the currents were 2.49 A. This is because the photovoltaic follows the direction of movement of the sun and always located at the photovoltaic to remain facing the sun. Therefore, it will still be able to capture the radiant sun to the fullest.

Published: February 2017

AbstractModern regulations concerning railway bridges are based on the approach of structural dynamics, which is described in PN-EN standards. This paper presents the results of theoretical dynamic analysis of the HSLM-A train set loading on the structure of a pre-stressed concrete arch bridge - the first railway bridge of its type which was built in Poland (completed in 1959). The recommendations of PN-EN have been followed and modal analysis was carried out to define the sensitivity of the structure to chosen eigenforms. Additionally the paper presents a course of calculations and the conclusions obtained from the analysis of displacements, accelerations, and bending moments induced in the structure through a simulated passage of a high-speed train in the context of the requirements of PN-EN Standards. The conclusions from the current calculations can be used for dynamic analysis of bridges of similar structural solutions.

Abstract
The most common chemical’s spills in typical transportation accidents are those with petroleum products such as diesel fuel, the consequence of which is an extensive pollution of the soil. In order to plan properly fuel recovery from the soil, it is important to gain information about the soil depth which may be affected by pollutant and to predict the pollutant concentration in different soil layers. This study deals with the impact of basic atmospheric conditions, i.e. air temperature and humidity on the diesel fuel migration through the soil. The diesel fuel was spilled into columns (L = 30 cm; D = 4.6 cm) filled with sandy and clay soil samples, and its concentrations at various depths were measured after 11 days under various air temperature (20 and 40°C) and relative humidity (30–100%) conditions. The effects observed were explained by understanding physical processes, such as fuel evaporation, diffusion and adsorption on soil grains. The increase in temperature results in higher fuel evaporation loss and its faster vertical migration. The relative humidity effect is less pronounced but more complex, and it depends much on the soil type.
Parametric study of fluid flow and heat transfer over louvered fins of air heat pump evaporator
Authors: Muszyński Tomasz , Kozieł Sławomir Marcin 
Published: January 2017

Abstract
Two-dimensional numerical investigations of the fluid flow and heat transfer have been carried out for the laminar flow of the louvered fin-plate heat exchanger, designed to work as an air-source heat pump evaporator. The transferred heat and the pressure drop predicted by simulation have been compared with the corresponding experimental data taken from the literature. Two dimensional analyses of the louvered fins with varying geometry have been conducted. Simulations have been performed for different geometries with varying louver pitch, louver angle and different louver blade number. Constant inlet air temperature and varying velocity ranging from 2 to 8 m/s was assumed in the numerical experiments. The air-side performance is evaluated by calculating the temperature and the pressure drop ratio. Efficiency curves are obtained that can be used to select optimum louver geometry for the selected inlet parameters. A total of 363 different cases of various fin geometry for 7 different air velocities were investigated. The maximum heat transfer improvement interpreted in terms of the maximum efficiency has been obtained for the louver angle of 16 ° and the louver pitch of 1.35 mm. The presented results indicate that varying louver geometry might be a convenient way of enhancing performance of heat exchangers.
Memetic pool as a new approach in service quality analysis
Authors: Stepaniuk Krzysztof 
Published: January 2017

Abstract
This paper attempts to decompose, as well as perform a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the way to externalize the perception of the accommodation service. The research material consisted of the opinions of users of accommodation facilities, located in the vicinity of the twelve selected national parks in Poland. It was assumed that the reflection of the perception of the quality of the service process is the transfer of intangible content related to the service itself, which can be externalized, among other things, through entries in social networks.
The study was conducted based on the theory of memes as cultural information carriers. According to this theory, in such a transmission, it is possible to distinguish certain components, which can be defined as memes. Therefore, it is possible to analyse and track their presence, transfer, as well as incidence. A memetic pool was constructed using the assumptions of the perceptual-cognitive model of the formation of the tourism image. It was a direct expression of the mental changes of the recipient, resulting from the use of the service.
Studies of this type are intended to optimize the design of services in terms of building positive relationships on the line service provider-customer. At the same time, they allow for a slightly different, evolutionary approach to analyses, concerning the formation of the image of the service provider, as well as forming the expectations of service recipients.

Published: January 2017

AbstractThe effects of rotational electromagnetic stirring (R-EMS) on dendrite growth characteristics and segregation control of bearing steel billet were investigated in continuous casting. The results show that applying R-EMS can promote columnar-equiaxed transition, increase the region of the equiaxed grain from 5 % to 45 %, decrease the secondary dendrite arm spacing (SDAS), and reduce the segregation of both carbon and sulfur. Meanwhile, the fragments of dendrite arms induced by R-EMS are observed. The length of the dendrite fragmentation is approximately 1.5 mm, 7–10 times the SDAS. Some fragments can partially remelt to become effective nuclei, and some fragments survive the solidification process.

Abstract
This study examined the test-retest reliability, validity and feasibility of the newly developed Dutch Technical-Tactical Tennis Test (D4T). This new test is relevant for talent identification and development in tennis. Thirty-two youth male tennis players (age 13.4 ± 0.5) were classified as elite (n = 15) or sub-elite (n = 17) according to their position on the national youth ranking list under 15 years (cut-off rank 50) in the Netherlands. Games, rallies and different tactical situations (i.e. offensive, neutral and defensive) were simulated with a ball machine. Players had to return 72 balls to predetermined target areas. Stroke quality was recorded based on ball velocity and accuracy (VA-index), as well as percentage errors. Test-retest reliability was assessed by comparing differences between the first and second test-session (n = 10). An intraclass-correlation coefficient of .78 for the VA-index was found (p < .05), indicating excellent test-retest reliability. Independent t-tests revealed that elite players outscored sub-elite players for the VA-index, ball velocity, accuracy and percentage errors (p < .05), supporting good validity. Furthermore, a high correlation was found between the VA-index and individual positions on the youth ranking list (p = -.75; p < .001). The assessment of feasibility indicated that the D4T was applicable for instructors and coaches. In conclusion, the D4T was shown to be a reliable, valid and feasible test to measure technical-tactical characteristics of tennis performance in youth players.

Abstract
Acetic acid fermentation is an essential step in the production of high-quality fruit vinegar and typically involves the use of acetic acid bacteria (AAB). The present study showed that the high cell mass and acetic acid yields of ethanol-tolerant AAB under high ethanol conditions were related to the high activities and stability of both pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ)-dependent alcohol dehydrogenase and PQQ-dependent aldehyde dehydrogenase. Additionally, in acetic acid fermentation with watermelon wine (8 % ethanol), the main organic acids (acetic, tartaric and malic acids) produced by ethanol-tolerant Acetobacter pasteurianus AAB4 were higher than those by conventional A. pasteurianus AS1.41 (1.42-fold, 3.53-fold and 2.12-fold, respectively). Also, the main esters (ethyl acetate and phenylethyl acetate) produced by AAB4 were higher than those by AS1.41 (1.69-fold and 1.48-fold, respectively). In addition, the total sweet and umami free amino acids produced by AAB4 increased significantly. According to sensory analysis, the flavor, taste and overall acceptance score of watermelon vinegar produced by AAB4 were significantly higher than those by AS1.41. Therefore, high ethanol fermentation with ethanol-tolerant AAB improved the flavor and quality of watermelon vinegar, indicating that this technology can be applied to fruit vinegar production.

Published: January 2017

AbstractOne of the most important goals of science education is to develop understanding of natural systems. It is impossible to comprehensively understand the functioning of natural systems only by knowledge of one subject (physics, chemistry, biology, etc.). Therefore the application of the cross-curricular approach in teaching of science subjects is required. Besides the scientific knowledge the understanding of science research methods is important, too. This can be obtained with the use of inquiry-based activities in science lessons that provide possibilities to show students how science works. The aim of this paper is to introduce the strategy for the use of cross-curricular approaches in inquiry-based activities in science education that was implemented within the Chain Reaction project. The project targeted 14- to 16-year-old students who in groups investigated an interdisciplinary research problem and then presented their findings and experiences at national or international events. Cosmic Web Site represents an example of the activity that encourages students to learn various topics of physics as well as to use their knowledge and skills obtained at computer science lessons. The feedback from the teachers involved in Chain Reaction that was gained with the help of evaluation questionnaires indicates a positive impact of the used approach to the development of students’ skills and motivation to learn science subjects.

Abstract

Background:
Diabetes mellitus (DM) of juvenile onset affects both the peripheral and central nervous systems (CNS). However, central effects are less documented and studied than peripheral deficits. Currently, the only feasible treatment available for type 1 DM (T1DM) is insulin which has its own limitations. Hence, an alternative therapy, especially a newer herbal formulation is very much the need of the time. The present study aimed to determine the effects of the alcoholic extracts of roots of the Salacia reticulata W. (SR) and Clitoria ternatea L. (CT) on cognitive and behavioral changes in juvenile diabetic rats.

Methods:
Diabetes was induced in 25-day-old Wistar rats by streptozotocin (50 mg/kg bw, IP). Animals were divided into seven groups (n=6). Rats were treated with root extracts of SR and CT (100 mg/kg BW each) for 30 days, from day 1 and day 20 of diabetes confirmation. Then, rats were tested in elevated plus maze (EPM) and Morris water maze (MWM).

Results:
A statistically significant (p<0.05) difference was observed between the SRCT group and diabetic groups of rats. Apart from decreasing FBS, the combined therapy also proved beneficial as nootropic agent in rats with early-onset diabetes. However, significant improvement is observed only in the learning and memory among preventive group, but not in the curative group.

Conclusions:
SRCT, a herbal formula, when used in combination, has a more potent effect in preventing the deleterious effects of juvenile diabetes on cognitive and behavioral changes.
Advantages of 3D ultrasound in the assessment of fetal abnormalities
Authors: Merz Eberhard , Pashaj Sonila 
Published: February 2017

AbstractThree-/four-dimensional (3D/4D) imaging enables a more detailed survey of the embryo and the fetus compared to two-dimensional (2D) ultrasound. The availability of several display modes and standardized examinations permits the demonstration of both the normal and abnormal fetal anatomy in controlled planes and rendered images from different angles. This allows the demonstration of even subtle fetal defects in an ideal sectional plane in a precisely rendered surface or transparent image viewed from an optimal angle. When counseling the parents, the rendered images can help them understand the severity of an existing malformation or, conversely, ensure them of the absence of any fetal abnormality. This is particularly useful in cases with an increased recurrence risk of a specific fetal malformation.

Abstract
The aim of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of tripterygium glycosides in treatment of stage IV diabetic nephropathy. Methods Through searching the PubMed and CNKI databases, the open published clinically controlled trials related to efficacy and safety of tripterygium glycosides in the treatment of stage IV diabetic nephropathy were collected. The pooled total efficacy, 24h urinary protein, serum creatinine and tripterygium glycosides related toxicity were calculated using Stata 11.0 software. Results Fourteen publications including 992 subjects (512 in the experimental group and 480 in the control group) were included in this study. Eight studies reported the total clinical efficacy comparing the experiment and control groups. No significant statistical heterogeneity was found in total efficacy (I2=24.9%, p>0.05). Thus, the combined odds ratio (OR) was pooled by fixed effect model. The pooled OR=4.16 with its 95% CI 2.71~6.37 (p<0.05), which indicated the total efficacy in the experiment group, was significant higher than that of control group (p<0.05); Thirteen studies reported the post-treatment 24h urinary protein value. Statistical heterogeneity analysis indicated significant heterogeneity across studies (I2=91.1%, p<0.05); that data was pooled by a random effects model. The combined standardized mean difference (SMD) was -1.55 with its 95% I -2.06~1.03, (p<0.05). The results indicated that post-treatment 24h urinary protein in the experiment group was significant lower than that in control group (p<0.05); Ten studies reported the post-treatment serum creatinine. Significant heterogeneity existed across those studies (I2=82.3%, p<0.05). Thereafter, the data was pooled by a random effect model. The combined standardized mean difference (SMD) was −0.24 with its 95%CI −0.40~0.09, (p<0.05). The results indicated that the post-treatment serum creatinine in experiment group was significant lower than that of control group (p<0.05); Eight studies reported tripterygium glycoside-associated toxicity such as liver function damage, gastrointestinal reactions and menstrual disorders. With no statistical heterogeneity among the studies, the data was pooled by fixed effect model. The pooled OR=6.42 (95%CI 2.23~18.48, p<0.05). The pooled results showed the tripterygium glycoside- associated toxicity incidence rate was significant higher in the experiment group than that of the control group (p<0.05); There were no publication bias for effect size of total efficacy, 24h urinary protein, and serum creatinine. However, for tripterygium glycoside-related toxicity, the publication bias was significant (t=-3.55, p<0.05). Conclusion The present evidence shows that tripterygium glycosides can improve clinical efficacy, reduce the 24h urinary protein and serum creatinine, but that they increase the tripterygium glycoside-related toxicity in treatment of stage IV diabetic nephropathy.
Memories of the 1999 NATO Bombing in Belgrade, Serbia
Authors: Fridman Orli 
Published: February 2017

Abstract
This paper analyses the memories of Belgrade residents of the 1999 NATO bombing of Serbia (then part of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia). By focusing on the memories of this event, yet placing them in a broader context of the conflicts of the 1990s—the breakup of Yugoslavia and the post-Yugoslav wars—this essay explores what international intervention has meant to respondents in Belgrade by documenting memories of international intervention among older and younger generations, as well as among active members of antiwar NGOs in Serbia and citizens who were not engaged in activism during the 1990s. The paper aims to expand the scope of the discussions on dealing with the past and on transitional justice in the Western Balkans and to place them in the context of social memory studies and the study of post-conflict transformation processes. Furthermore, by presenting the case study of Serbia, this text contributes to the analysis of local mnemonic batt les as part of the creation of collective memories of the 1990s in post-Milošević Serbia, and it sheds light on the memories of the bombing as related to the war in Kosovo and the subsequent effects on shaping postwar Serbia–Kosovo relations.
