Background: The vein of Marshall ethanol infusion (VOM-EI) provides an
opportunity to achieve bidirectional conduction block of mitral
isthmus. However, this technique may induce traumatic
pericarditis. There is a lack of research on which populations are prone
to pericarditis after VOM-EI and how to treat it more effectively.
Methods: This retrospective study included 77 consecutive patients who
voluntarily underwent persistent atrial fibrillation radiofrequency
ablation combined with VOM-EI. With the occurrence of postoperative
pericarditis as the end point, the characteristics and risk factors of
postoperative pericarditis were analyzed. The curative effect was
evaluated by the symptom relief rate of pericarditis 48 hours after
treatment. Results: 15 had postoperative pericarditis among the 77
patients, accounting for 19.5%. The hospital stay of the patients with
pericarditis was longer than that without pericarditis (10.0 vs 8.0
days, P = 0.045). Of the 15 patients with postoperative
pericarditis, 8 received colchicine. Among the patients treated with
colchicine, the average treatment intensity was 1.04 mg/d, 7 patients
were relieved within 48 hours, and the symptomatic remission rate was
87.5%. Among the remaining 7 patients who did not receive colchicine,
only 2 patients had symptomatic remission. Compared with the group
without colchicine, the duration of symptoms was significantly shorter
(27.88 vs 51.93 hours, P = 0.024). In the multivariate logistic
regression analysis, colchicine was the only effective method to relieve
the 48 hours symptoms of postoperative pericarditis ( OR =17.500,
CI 1.223-250.4, P = 0.035). Conclusion: Postoperative
pericarditis is one of the complications of VOM-EI, and colchicine may
have a good short-term effect on it.

Published: January 2023

The burning of shells and fiber as boiler fuel in palm oil mills produces waste in the form of ash which is not utilized and managed optimally, resulting in environmental damage. Based on the chemical compounds contained in fly ash, its abundant availability, its cheap price and easy-to-obtain, fly ash can be used as a cheap raw material in claybaths as a substitute for clay and calcium carbonate. This study aims to determine the effective weight of boiler ash in reducing kernel and shell production losses at the kernel processing station. This study used variations in the weight of boiler fly ash, namely 3000 g, 3500 g, 4000 g, 4500 g, and 5000 g which were tested first in the laboratory. The application of boiler ash variations that were close to the norm was tested directly in the claybath. The best weight parameter for using fly ash is found in the weight variation of B5 (5000 g) with a loss of production in the sample of 3.98% or 0.159% of the oil palm fresh fruit bunches. At the time of application, boiler fly ash should be mixed with water at a ratio of 1:2 (fly ash to water) to result the best effect. Key words : Boilers, Clay bath, Fly Ash, Kernel, Shell

Published: January 2023

Cooked rice (nasi liwet) is a typical rice dish of Java Island which is cooked using spices so that it has a unique taste and aroma. Making nasi liwet takes a long time, so this dish is only served at certain times. Therefore, a fast rice processing technique is needed but still has a distinctive taste and aroma. The purpose of this study is to analyze the physicochemical analysis of instant liwet rice based on the concentration and soaking time of sodium citrate. The physicochemical analysis tested were rehydration time, volume expansion, bulk density, texture, yield, ash content, and water content. The study was conducted by soaking sodium citrate (0, 2, 5, and 8% w/v) and soaking time (2, 4, and 6 hours) on rice. The results showed that the fastest rehydration time for instant nasi liwet was 4.55 minutes. The range of observation parameters such as expansion volume is 66.26-91.24%; bulk density is 0.413-0.581 g/ml; the texture is 431-1496 g/mm; yield is 89.64-92.26%; ash content is 4.11-4.45% and water content is 5.83-7.03%wb. Variations in sodium citrate concentration and immersion time increased the swelling volume and ash content, while water content, bulk density, texture, and yield tended to decrease. The best treatment based on the multiple attribute Zeleny method was immersion of 5% sodium citrate for 4 hours of immersion.

Published: January 2023

Given the increasing demand for water, it is necessary to make an effort to anticipate water scarcity through increasing efficiency in an irrigation area. Increasing efficiency requires an increase in the contribution of farmers to finance the repair of irrigation canals. The purpose of this study is to formulate a financing scheme for maintenance of irrigation networks by the state and farmer participation (contribution). Research was conducted at the Cihea Irrigation Area (Cianjur Regency). The method used is system dynamics modeling by observing the parameters studied, including; asset damage, productivity, farmer contributions, public works budget and irrigation efficiency. The results of the analysis with dynamic simulations show that the best scenario to reduce damage to Cihea Irrigation assets is scenario 2 because it reduces the damage by 10.29% and increases the irrigation maintenance index by 0.05 within 10 years. Thus, it is necessary suggest to the government and farmers to increase the contribution and budget for the improvement of the Cihea Irrigation.

Published: January 2023

Irrigation water requirement for irrigation for land preparation is the highest water requirement in rice cultivation therefore it was essential to determine it based on recent condition in order to support the irrigation modernization. This research aimed to determine the irrigation requirement and tillage specific drafts based for various water ponding level in rice field as well as to determine parameters of irrigation requirement for land preparation to support irrigation modernization. Determination of irrigation water requirement is computed based on equation developed by Van de Goor and Zijlstra (1968) with variation of water volume supplied for saturation and ponding level. Variation of water supplied during land preparation resulted in the variation of tillage specific drafts according to empirical formula developed by Kisu (1972). Water level ponding of 0 mm, 5 mm, 30 mm, and 74 mm resulted in water requirements for land preparation (Project Water Requirement/PWR) of 112 mm, 122 mm, 139 mm, and 198 mm, respectively. The mentioned water ponding level resulted in the tillage specific draft of 1.131 kg/cm2, 1.101 kg/cm2, 0.886 kg/cm2, and 0.954 kg/cm2, respectively. The thicker water ponding in the rice field, the more water requirement for land preparation, but the less energy needed for tillage. Recommended irrigation requirement for land preparation was 139 mm with 15-day duration of land preparation.

LGBT and Religious Negotiations: A Case Study of Youth Interfaith Forum on Sexuality (Yifos)
Authors: Roni Roni 
Published: January 2023

Most religious perspectives, particularly the conservative interpretation, emphasize the incompatibility of being a Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual or Transgender (LGBT) and being religious. This contradiction creates internal conflicts for many LGBT individuals. In social and political spheres, many religious groups post hostility and rejection against the LGBT using the justification of their religious dogma. The position of the LGBT has been more vulnerable since the reformation period (1998 to present) in Indonesia, during which Islamic conservatism is rising. Therefore, LGBT individuals perceive themselves as condemned and excluded from religious communities. Nevertheless, the existing LGBT communities and organizations focus more on campaigning social acceptance and public recognition through a human rights perspective. This research employs a qualitative method and addresses the Youth Interfaith Forum of Sexuality (YIFoS) in providing a ‘safe space’ for the LGBT in negotiating their non-normative sexuality and religious values. Taking a case study of YIFoS, I argue that LGBT could also embrace their religiosity. Through the concept of ‘liberation of the body and alternative religious interpretations, YIFoS believes that LGBT sexuality could be reconciled with religion. This research is divided into two parts. First is how YIFoS provide a way of reconciling of non-normative sexuality of LGBT and religion. Second is what approach is employed by YIFoS in helping LGBT individuals negotiate their non-normative sexuality and religious values. My findings demonstrate that the YIFoS applies the concept of ‘experience of the body as the main departure of liberation and employs an interfaith approach by inviting religious figures whose interpretations are more accommodative toward LGBT. The interfaith approach is aimed at building commonality on LGBT within religious communities. In addition, these two approaches are used to help LGBT individuals to stimulate self-acceptance and personal reconciliation between one’s religious values and their non-normative sexuality.
Comparison of Vehicle Suspension Dynamic Responses for Simplified and Advanced Adjustable Damper Models with Friction, Hysteresis and Actuation Delay for Different Comfort-Oriented Control Strategies
Authors: Klockiewicz Zbyszko , Ślaski Grzegorz 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
Throughout the years, many control strategies for adjustable dampers have been proposed, designed to boost the performance characteristics of a vehicle. Comfort control strategies such as Skyhook (SH), acceleration-driven damping or power-driven damping have been tested many times using simulation models of vehicles. Those tests, however, were carried out using simplified damper models – linear or simple bilinear with symmetric characteristics. This article presents the results of examination of the influence of using more complex damper models, with friction, hysteresis and time delay of state switching implemented, on the chosen dynamic responses of a suspension system for excitations in the typical exploitation frequency range. The results of the test are compared with those found in the literature and with the results of simulations performed with a simplified version of the advanced model used. The main conclusion is that friction and hysteresis add extra force to the already existing damping force, acting like a damping increase for all analysed control strategies. The actuation delays limit the effectiveness in a sense of comfort increasing to only some frequencies. The research shows the importance of including the proposed modules in testing for both adjustable and passive dampers.

Published: January 2023

AbstractAccording to the Green Deal, the carbon neutrality of the European Union (EU) should be reached partly by the transition from fossil fuels to alternative renewable sources. However, fossil fuels still play an essential role in energy production, and are widely used in the world with no alternative to be completely replaced with, so far. In recent years, we have observed the rapidly growing prices of commodities such as oil or gas. The analysis of past fossil fuels consumption might contribute significantly to the responsible formulation of the energy policy of each country, reflected in policies of related organisations and the industrial sector. Over the years, a number of papers have been published on modelling production and consumption of fossil and renewable energy sources on the level of national economics, industrial sectors and households, exploiting and comparing a variety of approaches. In this paper, we model the consumption of fossil fuels (gas and coal) in Slovakia based on the annual data during the years 1965–2020. To our knowledge, no such model, which analyses historical data and provides forecasts for future consumption of gas and coal, respectively, in Slovakia, is currently available in the literature. For building the model, we have used the Box–Jenkins methodology. Because of the presence of trend in the data, we have considered the autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA (p,d,q)) model. By fitting models with various combinations of parameters p, d, q, the best fitting model has been chosen based on the value of Akaike’s information criterion. According to this, the model for coal consumption is ARIMA(0, 2, 1) and for gas consumption it is ARIMA(2, 2, 2).
A Flywheel-Based Regenerative Braking System for Railway Vehicles
Authors: Jackiewicz Jacek 
Published: January 2023

Abstract
Regenerative braking is a technique that employs electric motors to convert the dynamic mechanical energy from the motor’s spinning rotor and any attached loads into electricity. However, such a type of regenerative braking can only slow but not stop the vehicle because there is too little energy to excite the motor acting as a generator at low speeds. Therefore, this paper presents a unique flywheel-based regenerative braking system for railway vehicles. This system is supposed to meet high safety and comfort expectations in all operating conditions. The braking action control of this system should allow braking of empty or loaded vehicles according to load, the anti-blockage braking action of wheels and prevent wheel-slide during braking or wheel slip during acceleration. The new regenerative braking system under development, like any kinetic energy recovery system, requires the application of continuously variable transmission. The essence of the new solution is to design and build this type of variable transmission using only one planetary gear controlled through the powertrain control module for an electric motor cooperating concurrently. This paper describes complete modelling and simulation realisation on a closed-loop servomotor drive, which cooperates with the variable transmission of the regenerative braking system based on the Scilab/Xcos environment.

Published: January 2023

Abstract
Road safety problem is still topical, especially since the number of vehicles and the volume of traffic are increasing. It is possible to increase the safety of road users through systemic changes in many areas related to transport. The deformation of the vehicle body during an accident has an impact on the loads acting on the passengers. Vehicle body deformation depends on complex parameters, and knowledge of these parameters is essential for designing crumple zones and the accident reconstruction process. Knowledge of the mechanical parameters of the vehicle structure during deformation is also a reference to passenger injury indicators assessment. This paper reports results from the analytical approach for determining the protection level of personal vehicles. The proposed conception is based on the results from the static stiffness characteristic of the Ford Taurus, which gives the possibility of phenomenological and simple body crumple analytical description at a speed equal to 10 km/h, 40 km/h, 56 km/h and 60 km/h, which is an original part of the work. The approach enables us to describe the vehicle crash by focusing on variations of deformation in time, stiffness, vehicle collision time (duration), deceleration and dynamic crash force. Basing on the body stiffness data of the personal vehicle, the length of the deformation zone in the front of the car and the maximum values of force at the crash for a speed of 60 km/h are presented. Results obtained by the authors show that is possible to estimate the overloading level during the crash time of a vehicle based on the stiffness characteristic of the car body. The proposed methodology can be developed and the advantage of the presented procedure is an uncomplicated useful tool for solving complex problems of a vehicle crash.

Abstract
Taking A-share listed companies in the petroleum industry as the research object, this paper empirically studies the relationship among the characteristics of industry-university-research (IUR) cooperation network, social capital, and innovation performance in the petroleum companies. The empirical research results show that the strength and centrality of the IUR cooperation network in the petroleum industry positively affect social capital and innovation performance; Network scale has no significant positive impact on social capital and innovation performance; Social capital plays a partially mediating role in the influence of characteristics of IUR cooperation network on innovation performance. According to the research findings, some strategies to improve the innovation performance of petroleum companies are proposed, which include occupying the center of the IUR cooperation network, high-frequency interaction with the objects of the IUR cooperation network, and expansion of the IUR cooperation network should match its own growth stage.
