PENGARUH BUKAAN RUANG TERHADAP SENSE OF SACRED SPACE JEMAAT (OBJEK STUDI: GEREJA ST. GABRIEL BANDUNG)
Authors: Novita Dian , L. Lukman Aldyfra 
Published: January 2023

Abstrak - Gereja St. Gabriel adalah rumah Allah dan wadah bagi umat Katolik beribadah. Gereja Katolik St. Gabriel memiliki konsep yang mengutamakan keterhubungan antara manusia dengan Tuhan, manusia dengan manusia, dan juga manusia dengan lingkungan. Kenyamanan ruang merupakan faktor penting dalam mendukung suasana beribadah, sehingga Gereja St. Gabriel memperkuat konsepnya dengan konsep desain pasif dan ekologis. Konsep tersebut diwujudkan melalui transparansi dan keterbukaan bangunan gereja yang besar terhadap lingkungannya, untuk mengoptimalkan pencahayaan dan penghawaan alami. Hal tersebut yang membuat wujud fisik Gereja St. Gabriel memiliki perbedaan dengan Gereja Katolik pada umumnya, yang relatif tertutup dengan bukaan terbatas, untuk meminimalisasi gangguan suara dari luar guna membentuk suasana ibadah yang lebih sakral. Pengalaman ruang dalam gereja akan mempengaruhi suasana ibadah dan pengalaman spiritualitas jemaat saat melaksanakan kegiatan ibadah. Suasana dan pemaknaan ruang yang tidak hanya dipersepsikan secara visual saja, namun dapat dipengaruhi juga dengan indera pendengaran bahkan hingga ke indera penciuman. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini menarik untuk dilakukan, untuk memahami bagaimana sebuah bukaan ruang di bangunan ibadah membentuk sense of sacred space bagi jemaat nya.
Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif yang disampaikan secara deskriptif. Data dikumpulkan melalui observasi lapangan, studi literatur, dan menyebarkan kuesioner kepada jemaat gereja. Data dianalisis sesuai dengan kajian teori yang digunakan dan juga dari hasil kuesioner mengenai sense of sacred space jemaat terhadap bukaan di Gereja St. Gabriel. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sense of sacred space jemaat dapat terbentuk jika suasana ruang ibadah tenang dan kondusif. Bukaan ruang memiliki peranan penting dalam membentuk suasana tersebut. Maka, dapat disimpulkan bahwa melalui kualitas visual dan audial yang dihasilkan dari bukaan, yang memiliki perbandingan peranan sebagai penyangga audio – visual lebih besar dibandingkan peranan sebagai penyaring cahaya, akan menciptakan sense of sacred space jemaat dalam Gereja St. Gabriel.
Kata Kunci: Bukaan Ruang, Gereja Katolik, Sense of Sacred Space.

Introduction. In maritime educational institutions, the existence of a system of continuous professional and legal training of cadets is relevant in connection with the implementation of a competent approach to the formation of professional and legal competencies. The purpose of this article is to study the professional, personal qualities of the cadet, affecting his professional and legal competence and readiness for professional and legal activities after graduation. They are of interest, criteria and indicators of behavior for assessing the professional, personal qualities of a cadet. The information obtained on the basis of the results of the experimental work on testing and practical implementation of the system allows us to assess the levels of formation of professional and legal competencies, which indicates its effectiveness. Materials and Methods. The experiment was attended by cadets of the 1st, 3rd, 5th courses of the specialty "Navigation" in the amount of 150 people. The Mann-Whitney U test criterion is used as a method of statistical processing. Assessment of the levels of formation of competencies was carried out by the method of questionnaires, testing, surveys, developed by the authors on the basis of the methodology of N. P. Fetiskin, G. M. Manuylov. The description of the level of each personal professional and legal competence included distinctive characteristics and a description of their manifestations in the behavior of the cadet, the so-called behavioral indicators. Results. According to the results of the questionnaire survey, it was revealed that the readiness of cadets for professional and legal activities does not always meet the established requirements. So the general level of legal competence of a graduate of a maritime university is 24 % of 50 people surveyed, that is, 12 people. The implementation of the system of continuous professional and legal training of cadets at the maritime university proposed by the authors allows not only to determine the content of legal disciplines, but also to introduce new forms, methods, means of training, to develop criteria and behavioral indicators for assessing the professional, personal qualities of the cadet that affect his professional and legal competence. Discussion and Conclusions. The results of the study at the maritime university based on the results of the experimental work carried out on the approbation and practical implementation of the system make it possible to assess the levels of formation of professional and legal competencies, which indicates its effectiveness.

The development of sustainable concrete in achieving the developmental goals of the United Nations in terms of sustainable infrastructure and innovative technology forms part of the focus of this research paper. In order to move towards sustainability, the utilization of the by-products of agro-industrial operations, which are fly ash (FA) and rice husk ash (RHA), in the production of concrete has been studied. Considering the environmental impact of concrete constituents, multiple mechanical and hydraulic properties of fly ash (FA) and rice husk ash (RHA) concrete have been proposed using intelligent techniques; artificial neural network (ANN) and evolutionary polynomial regressions (EPR). Also, an intelligent mix design tool/chart for this case under study is proposed. Multiple data points of concrete materials, which were further reduced to ratios as follows; cement to binder ratio (C/B), aggregate to binder ratio (Ag/B), and plasticizer to binder ratio (PL/B) were used in this exercise. At the end of the protocol, it is observed that the constituents’ ratios are dependent on the behavior of the whole, which can be solved by using the proposed model equations and mix design charts. The models performed optimally, as none showed any performance below 80%. However, ANN, which predicted Fc03, Fc07, Fc28, Fc60, Fc90, Ft28, Ff28 & Fb28, S, Ec28 & K28, and P with an accuracy of greater than 95% each with average error of less than 9.4% each, is considered the decisive technique in predicting all the studied concrete properties, including the life cycle assessment potential of the concrete materials.

The aim of the study is to determine the structure for energy absorption in order to countermeasure the scouring on the bridge abutment. Consider a porous structure for energy absorption, which can reduce flow velocity and depth of scouring due to its porosity. The energy absorber plate demonstrated in triangular shape with several porous as submerged barrier. The investigation was conducted in laboratory and placed the abutment in the middle of the channel with a distance of 3Lb, 5Lb, 7Lb and 9Lb. The plate area consists of 0% (MP1), 5% (MP2), and 10% (MP3). The scour depth measurement (ds) is carried out at 6 crucial points in the abutment area. Comparisons between experimental measurements and a numerical prediction model are presented. The experimental results show that the percentage of frictional velocity in the inhibition area for each pore opening before the obstacle, 31.42% (decreasing), - 9.27% (increasing), and -32.92% (increasing), respectively. Furthermore, the optimum position of the porous energy absorber at 9Lb to the abutment. The magnitude decreases of scour depth obtained from MP2. It can be concluded that the placement of energy absorbers can lead to damping forces. It also found that the porous structures could be beneficial for motion damping and absorber of the scouring.

Published: January 2023

A physiological-based driver monitoring system (DMS) has attracted research interest and has great potential for providing more accurate and reliable monitoring of the driver’s state during a driving experience. Many driving monitoring systems are driver behavior-based or vehicle-based. When these non-physiological based DMS are coupled with physiological-based data analysis from electroencephalography (EEG), electrooculography (EOG), electrocardiography (ECG), and electromyography (EMG), the physical and emotional state of the driver may also be assessed. Drivers’ wellness can also be monitored, and hence, traffic collisions can be avoided. This paper highlights work that has been published in the past five years related to physiological-based DMS. Specifically, we focused on the physiological indicators applied in DMS design and development. Work utilizing key physiological indicators related to driver identification, driver alertness, driver drowsiness, driver fatigue, and drunk driver is identified and described based on the PRISMA Extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-Sc) Framework. The relationship between selected papers is visualized using keyword co-occurrence. Findings were presented using a narrative review approach based on classifications of DMS. Finally, the challenges of physiological-based DMS are highlighted in the conclusion. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2022-08-12-020 Full Text: PDF

Background: Pre-emptive analgesia improves patients' quality of life after treatment by reducing post-operative complications and a more rapid return to their daily activities. The current study aims to evaluate knowledge, awareness, and practice on using pre-emptive analgesia during surgical procedures among private dental practitioners in Karachi, Pakistan.
Methodology: This survey-based descriptive study was conducted among private dental practitioners working in Karachi, Pakistan. The questionnaire has been designed to assess knowledge, awareness, and practice regarding the usage of pre-emptive analgesia. Part one focused on the socio-demographic characteristics of the participants, including age, gender, and level of experience. While Part two comprises ten multiple-choice questions regarding the knowledge, awareness, and practice of pre-emptive analgesia among private dental practitioners. The survey instrument was a self-administered questionnaire in the English language, and the questionnaire form was sent electronically to the study participants.
Results: About 98(74.2%) of participants are aware of pre-emptive analgesia usage during surgical procedures, but only 78(59.1%) practitioners know the mechanism of action of pre-emptive analgesia. While. Diclofenac sodium 35(26.5%) is most commonly used by private dental practitioners as pre-emptive analgesia.
Conclusion: The knowledge of oral pre-emptive analgesia was limited among dental practitioners. Most of them know that pre-emptive analgesics are used during oral surgical procedures, but many practitioners don't know their mechanism of action and method of administration.

Published: January 2023

Background: Birth asphyxia, a burdening pathology, is responsible for a great number of neonatal deaths. Besides targeting vital organs of the body, the associated systemic oxygen deprivation is responsible for the hemodynamic rearrangement and, consequently, the development of various coagulopathies. The present study is aimed to assess the alteration in the coagulation profile of babies born with birth asphyxia.
Methodology: A six-month cross-sectional research on newborns (with a gestational age of 30 to 42 weeks and birth asphyxia) was conducted in a hospital setting. A total of 96 newborns meeting the inclusion criteria were considered for the study. The blood samples were collected for the determination of prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), and international normalized ratio (INR).
Results: The studied cohort comprised 54 (54.2%) females, and the mean age of the newborns was 12.53 ± 3.58 hours. The mean PT and APTT in the asphyxic newborns were 22.58 ± 10.22 and 37.67 ±10.25 seconds, respectively, while the INR was 2.12 ± 0.96. The deranged PT and APTT were observed in 60 (62.5%) and 32 (33.3%) newborns. The deranged INR was observed in 21 (21.9%). Further, the maternal use of antiepileptics and anticoagulant drugs was not traced in any studied subjects.
Conclusion: A significant number of newborns with birth asphyxia presented with a deranged coagulation profile. However, the maximum frequency for derangement was obtained for the PT, followed by the APTT.

Published: January 2023

Benih kedelai adalah benih yang tidak mengalami dormansi sehingga selama penyimpanannya benih kedelai cepat mengalami kemunduran. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh jenis wadah dan lama penyimpanan terhadap mutu benih kedelai. Penelitian ini menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap pola faktorial 4x6 dengan tiga ulangan. Penelitian terdiri dari 2 faktor. Faktor pertama merupakan variasi wadah terdapat empat jenis yaitu Tanpa wadah (T0), wadah plastik (T1), wadah terigu (T2), wadah bagor (T3). Faktor kedua adalah waktu penyimpanan (W) yaitu 2 minggu (W1), 4 minggu (W2), 6 minggu (W3), 8 minggu (W4), 10 minggu (W5) dan 12 minggu (W6). Total 24 satuan percobaan dan 3 ulangan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa wadah yang paling baik selama penyimpanan dijumpai pada penyimpanan kantong plastik di karenakan plastik adalah wadah penyimpanan yang tahan udara dan air maka bisa menutup perpindahan udara (oksigen) dan air antara udara luar dan benih yang disimpan. Kantong plastik baik dalam melindungi viabilitas benih dibandingkan kantong bagor dan terigu disebabkan oleh kadar air kantong bagor dan terigu bertambah tinggi dibandingkan kantong plastik yang memicu masalah kemunduran benih.
