The Occurrences of Code-switching and Code-mixing in the Novel Me and You Versus the World
The objective of this research is to know the most occurrence types of code used in the novel and the purposes that contribute to those occurrences. The data were derived from qualitative technique using a novel as the material. The data were analyzed using manual coding and descriptive qualitative. The result of this research showed that code-switching is the most code used rather than code-mixing. The total of the utterances that used code-switching is 53 in total. Meanwhile, the most type of code-switching that used in the novel is intra-sentential which has 27 in total. There were some purposes that contributed to those occurrences, namely, quoting somebody else, express solidarity, and express disapproval. In the novel, switching a code is used to quote a famous expression, proverb, or writing some well-known figures. Also, it is used to express solidarity, to show the bonding between characters. A status relationship between people may be relevant in choosing the appropriate code. Additionally, express disapproval also can contribute to the occurrence in the novel, to express anger or unpleasant events. Therefore, the three factors are contributed to the occurrence of code-switching in the novel
Correlation Between Machinability and Chip Morphology of Austempered Ductile Iron
In this work, macrostructure, microstructure, and work hardening of as-cast and austempered ductile iron chips produced by different cutting speeds were investigated. Cutting forces, surface roughness, and tool wear were also studied. After austenitizing at 900 degrees C for 90 min, samples were austempered in a salt bath at 360 degrees C for 90 min. Machinability tests were conducted with uncoated cemented carbide tools on a CNC lathe. The tests were carried out without using any lubricant. In these tests, the cutting speed was varied in the range 50-200 m/min, while the feed rate (0.12 mm/rev) and depth of cut (2 mm) were kept constant. The tangential, feed, and radial cutting force components acting on the tool holder were measured with a three-component dynamometer. The chips obtained during machining were polished by embedding into epoxy resin, examined with optical microscope and micrographs were taken. The microhardness values were measured on each chip sample. As the cutting speed was increased, deformation strengthening of the microstructure was increased, which decreased the tool life. It was also detected that during the machining, with the effect of cutting forces and stress, spheroidal graphites were broken off in the chip and lost their sphericity, so the chip became fragile and unstable and the graphite displayed a lubricant feature. At low cutting speed, a built-up edge was observed. However, as the cutting speed was increased because of heating, built-up edges were unstable
Institutional and family support impact on health‐related quality of life of children with autism spectrum disorders during the COVID‐19 pandemic
Problems: Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) tend to have a notably
poorer quality of life than the general population, especially during the COVID‐19
pandemic. This study aimed to analyze the association between institutional support
and family support on the health‐related quality of life (HRQoL) of children with ASD
during the COVID‐19 pandemic.
Methods: A cross‐sectional study was conducted in October 2022 in a School for
Special Needs in Malang City, East Java Province, Indonesia. The pediatric quality of
life inventory (PedsQL) and Institutional and Family Support questionnaire were
used to measure the HRQoL and support perceived by parents of children with ASD.
We analyzed each component of the PedsQL and the Institutional and Family
Support questionnaire. The independent T‐test was performed to analyze the
association between HRQoL and perceived support by parents of children with ASD.
Findings: The results showed that most participants (72.7%) were women aged 40.
As many as 69.39% of participants had more than one child, and 16.33% declared
they had other children who experienced the same problem (special needs children).
This study indicated that the average health‐related quality of life score in children
with ASD was 57.41 (9.418). The finding of this study showed a significant mean
difference in HRQoL scores in children with ASD who received high institutional and
family support compared to those who had low (p = 0.028, 95% confidence interval
[CI] = −11.071 to 0.664).
Conclusion: Institutional support positively impacts children with ASD's quality of
life. Therefore, it is essential to improve the adequacy of support felt by families
while caring for children with AS
