IMPROVING RELIABILITY ON BKS PRODUCTION FACILLITIES THROUGH NEW MAINTENANCE STRATEGY AND DESIGNING PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IN CENTRAL MAINTENANCE TEAM AT O&M SUB-DIVISION PT XYZ

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

BKS Productions is an operation unit in Sumatra Oil of PT XYZ, which operation area located in Riau province. The crude oil production unit is more than 25,000 barrels of oil per day (BOPD) in 2015 and produced as much as 1 - 1.3 million barrels water per day (BWPD). The produced water utilized for crude oil secondary production process which known as Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR). To maintain crude oil production and also compliance to GOI regulations on environmental, the high reliability and availability on faclities is important, The CM team challenges from external are: the fall of global oil prices which reached the lowest point at 29 USD/barrel in February 2016, the natural declining in crude oil production, GOI regulations on environment stewardship and cost recovery, the production sharing contract continuity, the autonomous regions law and others. From internal are: corporate optimization programs, reduction of operating and capital budgets, the efficiency programs in all aspect of operations including in work force of both PT XYZ and business partner. Based on the research methodology that conducted and some focused group discussion resulted the “down scoping” or “cascading” strategy as central maintenance team’s strategy. This strategy is used to establish milestone, time line for execution, key performance indicator (KPI) and performance dashboard based on the balanced scorecard and strategy execution. The design of performance management system could accommodate result of root cause analysis that affected to the reliability and availability performance of critical equipment. Those are: maintenance program, Preventive Maintenance or inspection programs, the equipment performance data accuration, spare part availability, employee skill improvement.

Weighted Anomaly Detection Algorithm Based on Local Density

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Anomaly detection for hyperspectral imagery (HSI) has drawn a lot of attention lately. In the past decades, several methods for detecting anomalies in HSI have been developed. The Reed-Xiaoli detector (RXD) is one of the most widely used methods for anomaly detection. However, RXD assumes that background follow the Gaussian distribution, not always conformed to the real case. In order to solve this problem, we improve the RX anomaly detection algorithm by weighting changes of background. First, the concentric double-window model is utilized to obtain the local densities of each background pixels. Then, the local densities are applied to weight background mean and covariance matrix to reduce the influence of abnormal pixels in the background. The experimental results show that our method outperforms other approaches in anomaly detection.
Processing and electrical characterization in intrinsic conducting polymers for electronic and MEMS applications

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Electronic polymer devices and test structures based on PEDOT/PSS were fabricated in a fully CMOS compatible process. The resistivity of PEDOT/PSS polymer films is dependent on film thickness. The resistivity increases with decreasing film thickness for polymer film thicknesses between 190 nm and 380 nm. The resistivity differs by a factor of ~3 depending on film thickness. The evaluation of the specific contact resistivity depending on the choice of the metallization leads to a difference of the specific contact resistivity by a factor of 190. The specific contact resistivity does not follow the Schottky-Mott law and thus indicates a non-ideal behavior of the metal PEDOT/PSS interface. The lowest average specific contact resistivity was obtained for silver with an average value of 0.14 Ωcm2 and the highest specific contact resistivity was obtained for platinum. Even the lowest specific contact resistivity for silver is still very high when compared with low resistivity ohmic contacts to silicon. However, the specific contact resistivity is expected to have a significant drawback for overall device performance. Possible future applications of MEMS and electronics based on polymers will be for simple devices like transistors, ID tags, thermistors, acceleration and pressure sensors as well as radiation and UV detectors.
Complexity classes defined via k-valued functions

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

A lot of complexity classes can be characterized by posing some global acceptance condition on the computation trees produced by nondeterministic polynomial time machines. If the acceptance condition can be performed by a tree automaton, we obtain the concept of locally definable acceptance types (U. Hertrampf, 1992). This concept can be varied in different ways: if the acceptance condition depends only on the leaves of the computation tree, we obtain the concept of leaf languages (D. Bovet et al., 1991); if moreover the leaf language has to be a regular set, we obtain associative acceptance types. A special case appears, if we just count the number /spl alpha/ of accepting paths up to a fixed maximal value c (i.e. /spl alpha/=max(# accepting paths, c)) and then check, whether /spl alpha/ belongs to a given subset A/spl sube/{0,...,c-1}. This concept leads to complexity classes with finite acceptance types. We survey all these concepts and compare their power.< >
Neither takers nor makers: The Big-4 auditing firms as regulatory intermediaries

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

What are regulatory intermediaries? What roles do regulatory intermediaries play? What is the basis of their regulatory capacity and authority? This article examines these questions by focusing on the Big-4 international audit firms in the context of harmonizing international financial reporting standards. I argue that regulatory intermediaries perform a variety of regulatory market failure correcting functions for both regulatory makers and takers. Intermediation is far from being secondary to the regulatory process, and intermediaries, particularly those of transnational nature, have a pivotal role. Furthermore, regulatory intermediaries, as exemplified in the case of the Big-4, continuously challenge the primacy of the state, and the division of labor and balance of power between regulatory actors. Regulatory entrepreneurship and activism, coupled with unique organizational model based on global networks of partnerships, have led to the ascension of the Big-4 to unprecedented regulatory and market powers.
Pass-Fail Grading - A Review.

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This review presents a sample of the literature on pass-fail grading that was written between 1968 and 1971. The review leads to the following conclusions: (1) Students do not take pass-fail courses in order to avoid evaluation, but once having taken them their performance in both those courses and in traditionally graded courses declines; (2) Students do not take pass-fail courses to explore areas outside of their own major, but rather do so in order to make things easier for themselves in terms of course work; (3) Freshmen suffer most academically from taking pass-fail grades and so they should not be permitted the option or they should receive special guidance when they elect to do so; (4) The elimination of failing grades on transcripts is being practiced more widely than previously; (5) Most schools do not have major problems with pass-fail grading because they offer it only as a limited option; (6) While students who were graded on the basis of pass-fail can transfer to other institutions and can get accepted to graduate schools, they are less likely to get into the school of their choice.

Negotiating fan identities on Facebook : the case of AKB48 fans

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Most studies of fan communities largely focus on homogenous communities, ignoring how fans construct their identities and display them within online sites containing heterogeneous communities that have their contexts collapsed, like Facebook. This study focuses on fans of AKB48, a Japanese idol group, and seeks to understand how they construct their fan identity within these spaces. Using a mix of participant observation, online and face-to-face interviews, and analysis of Facebook posts made by respondents, this paper shall argue that fans undertake presentation strategies and facework to present a fan identity that is acceptable to their non-fan-Friends and conveys enough information about themselves to fan-Friends on Facebook. This is informed by their perceived stereotypes against them by non-fans, and the composition of their Facebook friend network, and the tendency to avoid conflict. However, Facebook and real life are linked; presentation of fan-identities may fail because of this, which has negative consequences for fans.
Challenge of introducing advance care planning policy into Japan

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

In Japan, living wills and advance directives are not commonly used, and there is no system or law to support the decision making of patients. Furthermore, there is no available law about the withdrawal of life-sustaining treatments or appointment of a medical attorney. Thus, medical staff must deal with ethical dilemmas related to medical decision making in end-stage disease. To introduce advance care planning policy into Japan, in consideration for law and ethic related to domestic end-of-life care, we compared law and ethic of Victoria, Australia with Japan. In Victoria, patient's decision and attorney's power are privileged by Medical Treatment Act, Guardianship and Administration Board Act and ACP guideline. Whereas, in Japan, there are general guideline for end-of-life care and one of common law, but no law and guideline to mention concrete procedure. In this situation, the withdrawal of respirator and tube feeding are practically prohibited in Japan. However, in healthcare setting, the confirmation of patient family's wish for CPR has been usually performed, and the withholding of life-sustaining treatments has been relatively permitted. We now try to introduce ACP policy into Japan as a stepwise manner; for example we made some formats restricted to the withholding of life-sustaining treatments, and algorithm using ACP considering Japanese orthodox culture. Via these activities, we want to help the globalisation of law and ethic in Japanese end-of-life care.

Increasing Culinary Companies' Empowerment Through Human Capital, Social Capital, Generation Z, and Social Media as an Intervening

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

This article is related to empowerment influenced by human capital, social capital, and Generation Z through social media in start-up culinary companies in Madura. The research was conducted on new or existing business actors using internet-based technology or social media in Madura (Bangkalan, Sampang Pamekasan Sumenep), there were 241 respondents in total. Data were obtained using multiple regression correlated analysis, using AMOS. The results show that there is a significant influence that human capital, social capital, and and Generation Z have a significant effect on empowerment both directly and indirectly through social media intervening, especially in Madura, East Java. There is a change in business patterns from a manual or traditional system to a modern or contemporary business based on an online/internet system in Madura. This business pattern can be the same as what is happening in other regions nationally, where all business sectors are now changing with modern concepts so that they can increase income as part of the method to face global business competition. observation was made by involving business actors, especially Generation Z which has an impact on empowerment.

Targeting both tumour-associated CXCR2+ neutrophils and CCR2+ macrophages disrupts myeloid recruitment and improves chemotherapeutic responses in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Objective Chemokine pathways are co-opted by pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC) to facilitate myeloid cell recruitment from the bone marrow to establish an immunosuppressive tumour microenvironment (TME). Targeting tumour-associated CXCR2 + neutrophils (TAN) or tumour-associated CCR2 + macrophages (TAM) alone improves antitumour immunity in preclinical models. However, a compensatory influx of an alternative myeloid subset may result in a persistent immunosuppressive TME and promote therapeutic resistance. Here, we show CCR2 and CXCR2 combined blockade reduces total tumour-infiltrating myeloids, promoting a more robust antitumour immune response in PDAC compared with either strategy alone. Methods Blood, bone marrow and tumours were analysed from PDAC patients and controls. Treatment response and correlative studies were performed in mice with established orthotopic PDAC tumours treated with a small molecule CCR2 inhibitor (CCR2i) and CXCR2 inhibitor (CXCR2i), alone and in combination with chemotherapy. Results A systemic increase in CXCR2 + TAN correlates with poor prognosis in PDAC, and patients receiving CCR2i showed increased tumour-infiltrating CXCR2 + TAN following treatment. In an orthotopic PDAC model, CXCR2 blockade prevented neutrophil mobilisation from the circulation and augmented chemotherapeutic efficacy. However, depletion of either CXCR2 + TAN or CCR2 + TAM resulted in a compensatory response of the alternative myeloid subset, recapitulating human disease. This was overcome by combined CCR2i and CXCR2i, which augmented antitumour immunity and improved response to FOLFIRINOX chemotherapy. Conclusion Dual targeting of CCR2 + TAM and CXCR2 + TAN improves antitumour immunity and chemotherapeutic response in PDAC compared with either strategy alone.
A 71‐nucleotide deletion in the periaxin gene in an Italian patient with late‐onset slowly progressive demyelinating Charcot‐Marie‐Tooth disease

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Background Charcot‐Marie‐Tooth disease (CMT) constitutes a group of heterogeneous hereditary motor and sensor neuropathies. Mutations in the periaxin ( PRX ) gene cause CMT4F with an autosomal recessive early‐onset demyelinating neuropathy and are extremely rare in a non‐Romani white population. Methods We report on a 66‐year‐old Italian man presenting with slowly progressive and late‐onset demyelinating CMT. The molecular analysis was performed using a custom panel containing 39 genes associated with the CMT phenotype. Results The patient harbored a homozygous PRX 71‐nucleotide deletion (c.3286_3356del71, I1096fsX17). Conclusions This is the first report that describes such a genetic mutation in a population of non‐Romani origin.
[Anterior body ostectomy for mandibular prognathism].

Field: Dentistry (Health Sciences)

The mandibular body ostectomy is indicated for the correction of select cases of; Mandibular prognathism, Class III open-bite deformity, Anterior crossbite in the adult. The anterior body ostectomy is indicated primarily in selected cases of mandibular prognathism, class III malocclusion when the posterior teeth are not in crossbite or the crossbite is dental in nature and can readily be resolved with conventional orthodontics. As with the correction of other dentofacial deformities, carefully done model surgery and a cephalometric prediction tracing are imperative in planning the anterior body ostectomy. In this paper, a case of mandibular prognathism which is corrected by the technique of anterior body ostectomy is presented.
[Effect of reinfusion of UV-irradiated blood on the activity of the kallikrein-kinin system in patients with diffuse phlegmons of the face and neck].

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

The examination of 41 patients with phlegmons of the face and neck has revealed a considerable activation of kininogenesis. The application of the RUVIB method in 29 patients who had the most severe course of the disease allowed protease inhibitors to be rejected even in cases with sepsis and mediastinitis, effects of RUVIB exerted the regulation of processes of kininogenesis with the help of endogenous mechanisms.
Traces for fractional Sobolev spaces with variable exponents

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

In this note we prove a trace theorem in fractional spaces with variable exponents. To be more precise, we show that if $p\colon\overlineΩ\times \overlineΩ\to (1,\infty)$ and $q:\partial Ω\rightarrow (1,\infty)$ are continuous functions such that \[ \frac{(n-1)p(x,x)}{n-sp(x,x)}>q(x) \qquad \mbox{in} \partial Ω\cap \{x\in\overlineΩ\colon n-sp(x,x) >0\}, \] then the inequality $$ \Vert f\Vert _{\scriptstyle L^{q(\cdot)}(\partial Ω)} \leq C \left\{\Vert f\Vert _{\scriptstyle L^{\bar{p}(\cdot)}(Ω)}+ [f]_{s,p(\cdot,\cdot)} \right\} $$ holds. Here $\bar{p}(x)=p(x,x)$ and $\lbrack f\rbrack_{s,p(\cdot,\cdot)} $ denotes the fractional seminorm with variable exponent, that is given by \[ \lbrack f\rbrack_{s,p(\cdot,\cdot)} := \inf \left\{λ>0\colon \int_Ω\int_Ω\frac{|f(x)-f(y)|^{p(x,y)}}{λ^{p(x,y)} |x-y|^{n+sp(x,y)}}dxdy<1\right\} \] and $\Vert f\Vert _{\scriptstyle L^{q(\cdot)}(\partial Ω)}$ and $\Vert f\Vert _{\scriptstyle L^{\bar{p}(\cdot)}(Ω)}$ are the usual Lebesgue norms with variable exponent.
Course report: Climate change adaptation in agriculture and natural resource management - Integrating climate change in policy making and programming for sustainable development

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

At the request of the Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality (LNV) in the Netherlands, Wageningen UR1 has initiated a support programme for climate change adaptation in Eastern Africa in 2008. In partnership with ASARECA2, IUCN – EARO3 and RUFORUM4 a scoping workshop and follow-up were organised. The focus was on capacities needed to better integrated climate change adaptation responses into agricultural, rural development and natural resources policy processes. The initiative led, among others, to the development of a new training course in 2009, implemented by the partnership, in collaboration with HoA-REC5 at Addis Ababa University, Ethiopia. The regional training on Climate Change Adaptation in agriculture and NRM took place from 15 to 26 June 2009 in Addis Ababa. It was attended by 26 participants from Ethiopia (20), Uganda (3), Kenya (2) and Tanzania (1). Participants were drawn from universities, agricultural research institutes, non-governmental organisations and government departments. The course was coordinated and facilitated by a team from HoA-REC and Wageningen UR, complemented by presenters and lecturers from various universities and institutes, such as Prof. Richard Odingo (University of Nairobi), Dr. Jan Verhagen (Wageningen UR), Dr. Gebru Jember (National Meteorological Agency, Ethiopia), and Dr. Lulseged Tamene (Addis Ababa University).
Deconstructing the Neoliberal Character of the European Union: A Major Source of Leftist Dissent Over the EU in Turkish Civil Society

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This article aims to contribute to the discourse of Euroscepticism in Turkish civil society by examining the underlying dynamics of the phenomenon among leftist groups. Methodologically, semi-structured qualitative interviews with and surveys of Civil Society Organisation (CSO) leaders and Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) are applied. Compared to business organisations, a large part of the trades unions have a cautious approach towards European integration. Generally, the leftist leaders do not perceive the EU process strategically or as a political opportunity structure to gain influence, but predominately more ideologically, as the spread of neoliberal free market policies that create an anti-labour environment.
BL-ALM: A Blind Scalable Edge-Guided Reconstruction Filter for Smart Environmental Monitoring Through Green IoMT-UAV Networks

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Today, low-cost radar/optical visual sensing for monitoring of environment and remote sensing through a network of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has received more attention such that many different intelligent and pervasive computing techniques are being used to make vision-assisted UAV Networks more reliable and dependable in order to distributed surveillance. On the other hand, the issue of visual information reconstruction has been an interesting topic of machine vision and UAV-borne remote sensing in recent years. To do this, a non-linear blind edge-guided spatial filter based on linear minimum mean square error-estimation (LMMSE) theory has recently been proposed for video sequence reconstruction problems in green monitoring with radars. Although performance of this technique is acceptable compared to the conventional linear techniques in the area, the strategy behind this visual estimator is not generally flexible on which it is not applicable in scalable zooming and its corresponding reconstruction templates. The main objective of this research is to introduce a new version of this filter towards scalable zooming and flexibility in different templates with arbitrary scales. Thus, the proposed algorithm can simultaneously benefit from both edge-directed and distance-weighted adaptation. The proposed approach is theoretically proven, and with using experiments through real UAV visual data, its suitability for low-cost sensing in green Internet of multimedia things (G-IoMT) is shown.

The Analog Computer as a Teaching Tool in Physics

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

A number of experiments which utilize small desktop analog computers (e.g., the EAI Model TR-20) and which are appropriate for an upper level physics laboratory are described. The computer is used in some experiments to simulate the physical system under investigation and in other experiments as an on-line device which aids the analysis of the physical system itself. Experiments of both types have been used successfully for several years in the electricity and magnetism and modern physics laboratories at Union College. Students have received this technique enthusiastically and have gained knowledge not only of the experiments involved but of the analog computer and its components as well. Projects of this type can be implemented in any of the upper level laboratories even without the use of commercial analog computers since many of the experiments can be performed with home-made devices consisting of low-cost operational amplifiers, capacitors, rheostats, and other standard laboratory equipment.
