The Weakness of European Wales

Why did Wales vote to leave the EU and Scotland vote to remain? Richard Marsden and Penni Bestic argue that to answer this question we need to examine how the Welsh and Scottish people perceive their turbulent national histories, and how this informs their sense of belonging

Cross Continental Readings of Visual Narratives: An analysis of Six Books in the New Zealand PictureBook Collection

This article argues that, by analyzing the ways in which illustrators use certain visual codes, we can learn much about a country's history/culture and demonstrates this by analyzing the visual narratives of six picture books from the New Zealand Picture Book Collection (NZPBC) Emphasis is placed on how the front covers-which introduce both the stories and the new culture to young readers-are used to facilitate cultural understanding by focusing on Intercultural stimuli/cultural exchanges; respecting beliefs/values; observing cultural lifestyles, sharing visual imagery and discussing the interplay between text and imag

PENGUKURAN HASIL KERJA KARYAWAN DENGAN PENDEKATAN ERGONOMI (Studi Kasus di Batik Semarang 16)

Batik Semarang 16 merupakan salah satu perusahaan Batik di Semarang yang memproduksi batik tulis dan batik cap. Melakukan pekerjaan dengan suhu lingkungan yang tinggi akan mengganggu kenyamanan dalam melakukan pekerjaan, dan kelelahan yang dirasakan oleh pekerja meningkat sehingga berpengaruh terhadap konsentrasi daklam melakukan pekerjaan. Berdasarkan permasalahan tersebut, peneliti akan menganalisis mengenai Produktivitas UKM Batik Semarang 16 melalui pendekatan ergonomi. Berdasarkan uji lingkungan kerja terhadap hasil kerja di peroleh hasil 0,001 (<0,05) sehingga ada perbedaan output atau hasil pekerjaan antar perilaku (kondisi lingkungan pagi,siang dan sore). Berdasarkan hasil dari kecepatan reaksi pada pekerja ternyata ada pengaruh antara kecepatan reaksi terhadap perlakuan (warna, bunyi, kaki), dan konsumsi energi pekerja setiap detik naik 0,061kali. Berdasarkan keluhan Nordic Body Map yang sering dirasakan yaitu leher, punggung, tangan, bahu di implementasikan pada Rapid Upper Limb Assessment dan didapatkan hasil skor akhir yaitu 7 dan action level 4 yang artinya sangat berbahaya dan perlu dilakukan perbaikan segera. Berdasarkan hasil kata kansei yang diinginkn pekerja warna ruangan terang, kondisi yang nyaman, desain kreatif, keluhan tubuh untuk tidak terjadi cidera, respon pekerja yang cepat, dan ergonomis

ANALISIS KINERJA RUAS JALAN MATRAMAN RAYA JAKARTA (Studi Kasus Pertigaan Jatinegara Barat s/d Pertigaan Jatinegara Timur)

Ruas Jalan Matraman Raya merupakan salah satu jalan di Jakarta yang memiliki tingkat kesibukan tinggi, berbagai sarana dan fasilitas umum yang terdapat di sepanjang ruas jalan ini menyebabkan jalan ini menjadi macet dan tidak teratur. Analisis kinerja Lalu lintas untuk ruas Jalan Matraman Raya dilakukan berdasarkan pada Manual Kapasitas Jalan Indonesia 1997 sedangkan untuk menentukan kriteria tingkat pelayanan lalu lintas berdasarkan pada Peraturan Menteri Perhubungan No: KM 14 Tahun 2006. Data lalu lintas diperoleh dari pencacahan jumlah kendaraan di lapangan yang dilakukan pada jam-jam sibuk selama 3 hari (8, 12, dan 14 November 2010) dan kemudian di analisis kinerja lalu lintasnya. Berdasarkan hasil analisis terhadap kinerja ruas Jalan Matraman Raya, pada tahun 2010, derajat kejenuhan pada jalur 1 adalah 0,76, dengan kecepatan tempuh rerata 28,18 km/jam, tingkat pelayan pada jalur ini adalah D, sedangkan derajat kejenuhan pada jalur 2 adalah 0,91, dengan kecepatan tempuh rerata 24,90 km/jam, tingkat pelayan pada jalur ini adalah E, Kinerja ruas jalan ini terus menurun tiap tahunnya, tingkat pelayanan menjadi F pada tahun 2020. Setelah dilakukan manajemen lalu lintas terhadap ruas jalan ini dengan cara pelarangan sepeda motor, tingkat pelayanan menjadi lebih baik, untuk tahun 2010 kedua jalur memiliki tingkat pelayanan A dan pada tahun 2020, D untuk jalur 1 dan E untuk jalur 2

Low zinc status and absorption exist in infants with jejunostomies or ileostomies which persists after intestinal repair.

There is very little data regarding trace mineral nutrition in infants with small intestinal ostomies. Here we evaluated 14 infants with jejunal or ileal ostomies to measure their zinc absorption and retention and biochemical zinc and copper status. Zinc absorption was measured using a dual-tracer stable isotope technique at two different time points when possible. The first study was conducted when the subject was receiving maximal tolerated feeds enterally while the ostomy remained in place. A second study was performed as soon as feasible after full feeds were achieved after intestinal repair. We found biochemical evidence of deficiencies of both zinc and copper in infants with small intestinal ostomies at both time points. Fractional zinc absorption with an ostomy in place was 10.9% ± 5.3%. After reanastamosis, fractional zinc absorption was 9.4% ± 5.7%. Net zinc balance was negative prior to reanastamosis. In conclusion, our data demonstrate that infants with a jejunostomy or ileostomy are at high risk for zinc and copper deficiency before and after intestinal reanastamosis. Additional supplementation, especially of zinc, should be considered during this time period

Assessment and Control of Spacecraft Charging Risks on the International Space Station

Electrical interactions between the F2 region ionospheric plasma and the 160V photovoltaic (PV) electrical power system on the International Space Station (ISS) can produce floating potentials (FP) on the ISS conducting structure of greater magnitude than are usually observed on spacecraft in low-Earth orbit. Flight through the geomagnetic field also causes magnetic induction charging of ISS conducting structure. Charging processes resulting from interaction of ISS with auroral electrons may also contribute to charging albeit rarely. The magnitude and frequency of occurrence of possibly hazardous charging events depends on the ISS assembly stage (six more 160V PV arrays will be added to ISS), ISS flight configuration, ISS position (latitude and longitude), and the natural variability in the ionospheric flight environment. At present, ISS is equipped with two plasma contactors designed to control ISS FP to within 40 volts of the ambient F2 plasma. The negative-polarity grounding scheme utilized in the ISS 160V power system leads, naturally, to negative values of ISS FP. A negative ISS structural FP leads to application of electrostatic fields across the dielectrics that separate conducting structure from the ambient F2 plasma, thereby enabling dielectric breakdown and arcing. Degradation of some thermal control coatings and noise in electrical systems can result. Continued review and evaluation of the putative charging hazards, as required by the ISS Program Office, revealed that ISS charging could produce a risk of electric shock to the ISS crew during extra vehicular activity. ISS charging risks are being evaluated in ongoing ISS charging measurements and analysis campaigns. The results of ISS charging measurements are combined with a recently developed detailed model of the ISS charging process and an extensive analysis of historical ionospheric variability data, to assess ISS charging risks using Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) methods. The PRA analysis (estimated frequency of occurrence and severity of the charging hazards) are then used to select the hazard control strategy that provides the best overall safety and mission success environment for ISS and the ISS crew. This paper presents: 1) a summary of ISS spacecraft charging analysis, measurements, observations made to date, 2) plans for future ISS spacecraft charging measurement campaigns, and 3) a detailed discussion of the PRA strategy used to assess ISS spacecraft charging risks and select charging hazard control strategie
