Analisis Optimalisasi Pengembangan Sarana Dan Prasarana Terminal Peti Kemas Semarang

Tujuan studi penelitian ini untuk mengetahui kinerja dan kapasitas dermaga, kinerja dan kapasitas container yard, dan kapasitas alat yang berada di Terminal Peti Kemas Semarang, yaitu Container Crane (CC), Automatic Rubber Tyred Gantry (ARTG) dan Rubber Tyred Gantry (RTG). Metode yang digunakan untuk mengetahui kinerja dermaga adalah Berth Occupancy Ratio (BOR), yaitu perbandingan antara waktu penggunaan dermaga dengan waktu yang tersedia yang dinyatakan dalam presentase. Sedangkan kinerja dari container yard dapat dianalisis menggunakan metode Yard Occupancy Ratio (YOR), yaitu nilai yang menunjukan persentase dari terminal yang dimanfaatkan untuk penumpukan peti kemas untuk periode tertentu. Kapasitas dermaga dan container yard dihitung menggunakan persamaan kapasitas dermaga terpasang (KDL) dan persamaan luasan container yard (At). Selain itu metode BTP (Berth Throughput) digunakan dalam studi penelitian ini untuk mengetahui tingkat pemakaian dermaga. Nilai BOR dengan persamaan beberapa tambatan pada tahun 2016 adalah 54,33% dan nilai BOR dengan persamaan tambatan umum 22,87%. Besarnya nilai BTP tahun 2016 adalah 3.696 TEUs/m/tahun dan nilai KDL adalah 1.995.640 TEUs. Jika nilai BTP terpasang dibandingkan dengan nilai BTP terpakai (1.139 TEUs/m/tahun) dan nilai KDL dibandingkan dengan jumlah peti kemas tahun 2016 (615.133 TEUs/tahun), maka disimpulkan pada tahun 2016 TPKS masih mampu melayani kedatangan peti kemas. Luasan kebutuhan Container Yard (CY) dihitung menggunakan persamaan At didapatkan hasil sebesar 17,68 ha. Jika dibandingkan dengan luas terpasang container yard (18,5 ha), maka disimpulkan bahwa container yard TPKS masih mampu melayani penumpukkan peti kemas. Kinerja container yard di TPKS ditunjukkan melalui nilai YOR pada tahun 2015 yaitu sebesar 62,95%, nilai tersebut dipengaruhi oleh dwelling time. Sebaiknya pada studi selanjutnya didasarkan pada kaidah ISPS Code (International Ship and Port Security) dan memperhitungkan tingkat pertumbuhan industri dan angkutan barang

Efficient Identification of HIV Serodiscordant Couples by Existing HIV Testing Programs in South Brazil.

ObjectiveTo examine the feasibility of identifying HIV negative at risk individuals in HIV serodiscordant couples, during voluntary HIV testing in South Brazil.MethodsWe surveyed HIV testers at 4 public testing sites in Rio Grande do Sul. We obtained information on risk behaviors and sexual partnerships. HIV testing and testing for recent infection were performed; HIV prevalence and risk behaviors were assessed among subjects who reported having a steady partner who was HIV positive (serodiscordant group) and compared with the general testing population.ResultsAmong 3100 patients, 490 (15.8%) reported being in a steady relationship with an HIV positive partner. New HIV infections were diagnosed in 23% of the serodiscordant group (vs. 13% in the general population, p = 0.01); among newly positive subjects, recent HIV infections were more frequent (23/86, 26.7%) among testers with positive partners than among the general testing group (52/334; 15.6%; p = 0.016). Less than half of the serodiscordant testers reported having used a condom during the last sexual intercourse with their HIV-positive partner. Participants with inconsistent condom use with steady partner were four times more likely to test positive for HIV compared to those who reported always using condoms with the steady partner (OR: 4.2; 95% CI: 2.3 to 7.5).ConclusionIt is highly feasible to identify large numbers of HIV susceptible individuals who are in HIV serodiscordant relationships in South Brazil testing sites. Condom use within HIV serodiscordant couples is low in this setting, suggesting urgent need for biomedical prevention strategies to reduce HIV transmission

Viscoelastic gels of guar and xanthan gum mixtures provide long-term stabilization of iron micro- and nanoparticles

Iron micro- and nanoparticles used for groundwater remediation and medical applications are prone to fast aggregation and sedimentation. Diluted single biopolymer water solutions of guar gum (GG) or xanthan gum (XG) can stabilize these particles for few hours providing steric repulsion and by increasing the viscosity of the suspension. The goal of the study is to demonstrate that amending GG solutions with small amounts of XG (XG/GG weight ratio 1:19; 3 g/L of total biopolymer concentration) can significantly improve the capability of the biopolymer to stabilize highly concentrated iron micro- and nanoparticle suspensions. The synergistic effect between GG and XG generates a viscoelastic gel that can maintain 20 g/L iron particles suspended for over 24 h. This is attributed to (i) an increase in the static viscosity, (ii) a combined polymer structure the yield stress of which contrasts the downward stress exerted by the iron particles, and (iii) the adsorption of the polymers to the iron surface having an anchoring effect on the particles. The XG/GG viscoelastic gel is characterized by a marked shear thinning behavior. This property, coupled with the low biopolymer concentration, determines small viscosity values at high shear rates, facilitating the injection in porous media. Furthermore, the thermosensitivity of the soft elastic polymeric network promotes higher stability and longer storage times at low temperatures and rapid decrease of viscosity at higher temperatures. This feature can be exploited in order to improve the flowability and the delivery of the suspensions to the target as well as to effectively tune and control the release of the iron particle

The MURALES survey. IV. Searching for nuclear outflows in 3C radio galaxies at z < 0.3 with MUSE observations

We analyze VLT/MUSE observations of 37 radio galaxies from the Third Cambridge catalogue (3C) with redshift $<$0.3 searching for nuclear outflows of ionized gas. These observations are part of the MURALES project (a MUse RAdio Loud Emission line Snapshot survey), whose main goal is to explore the feedback process in the most powerful radio-loud AGN. We applied a nonparametric analysis to the [O~III] $\lambda$5007 emission line, whose asymmetries and high-velocity wings reveal signatures of outflows. We find evidence of nuclear outflows in 21 sources, with velocities between $\sim$400 - 1000 km s$^{-1}$, outflowing masses of $\sim 10^5-10^7$ M$_\odot$, and a kinetic energy in the range $\sim 10^{53} - 10^{56}$ erg. In addition, evidence for extended outflows is found in the 2D gas velocity maps of 13 sources of the subclasses of high-excitation (HEG) and broad-line (BLO) radio galaxies, with sizes between 0.4 and 20 kpc. We estimate a mass outflow rate in the range 0.4 - 30 M$_\odot$ yr$^{-1}$ and an energy deposition rate of ${\dot E}_{kin} \sim 10^{42}-10^{45}$ erg s$^{-1}$. Comparing the jet power, the nuclear luminosity of the active galactic nucleus, and the outflow kinetic energy rate, we find that outflows of HEGs and BLOs are likely radiatively powered, while jets likely only play a dominant role in galaxies with low excitation. The low loading factors we measured suggest that these outflows are driven by momentum and not by energy. Based on the gas masses, velocities, and energetics involved, we conclude that the observed ionized outflows have a limited effect on the gas content or the star formation in the host. In order to obtain a complete view of the feedback process, observations exploring the complex multiphase structure of outflows are required.Comment: 40 pages; accepted for publication on A&A

Embodying the Spirit(s): Pentecostal Demonology and Deliverance Discourse in Ethiopia

The article explores Pentecostal embodiment practices and concepts with regard to Holy Spirit baptism and demon possession. The studied material is connected to a specific and highly controversial debate in Ethiopian Pentecostalism, which revolves around the possibility of demon possession in born-again and Spirit-filled Christians. This debate runs through much of Ethiopian Pentecostal history and ultimately is concerned with whether or how Christians can host conflicting spiritual forces, in light of the strong dualism between God and evil in Pentecostal cosmology. The article shows that the embodiment of spirits and/or the Holy Spirit is related to theological concepts of the self, because these concepts define what may or may not be discerned in certain bodily manifestations. Moreover, the article contends that this debate thrives on a certain ambiguity in spirit embodiment, which invites the discernment of spiritual experts and thereby becomes a resource of power
