    PT. Pelabuhan Indonesia III merupakan salah satu perusahaan BUMN yang bergerak di bidang jasa kepelabuhanan, dimana salah satu proses bisnis yang dijalankan adalah pelayanan jasa kapal. Untuk mencapai visi perusahaan yakni memberikan pelayanan jasa yang prima kepada konsumen, serta berkontribusi dalam program pemerintah untuk meningkatkan efektivitas dan efisiensi transportasi laut, perusahaan harus menjalankan proses bisnisnya secara efektif dan efisien. Namun, terdapat potensi kegagalan dari tiap proses bisnis yang dijalankan oleh perusahaan yang disebut sebagai risiko yang dapat mengurangi efektivitas dan efisiensi pelayanan. Oleh karenanya, perusahaan harus mengelola risiko pada proses bisnisnya terutama pada proses pelayanan kapal. Pada penelitian ini, akan dilakukan identifikasi terhadap risiko yang berpotensi timbul pada proses pelayanan kapal. Proses identifikasi dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode fault tree analysis guna mengetahui penyebab timbulnya risiko dari tiap aktivitas yang dilakukan. Evaluasi terhadap risiko akan dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode FMECA yang akan mengklasifikasikan risiko ke dalam peta risiko berdasarkan nilai severity dan occurance pada tiap risiko. Selanjutnya, berdasarkan evaluasi tersebut akan dilakukan mitigasi terhadap risiko-risiko yang memerlukan tindakan corrective. Berdasarkan hasil identifikasi risiko, terdapat 62 risiko yang terdapat pada proses pelayanan kapal. Dari hasil evaluasi risiko, dihasilkan 17 risiko yang memerlukan tindakan corrective dan 45 risiko yang tidak memerlukan tindakan corrective. Mitigasi yang dilakukan terhadap risiko yang memerlukan tindakan corrective menghasilkan 31 upaya mitigasi dengan rincian 14 upaya untuk menghindari, 3 upaya untuk memindahkan, dan 14 upaya untuk mengurangi. =================================================================PT. Pelabuhan Indonesia III is one of state owned company which enganged in the field of marine services. One of the business processes of company is ship services. In order to achieve the company’s vision to provide excellent services to costumers, and contribute to government program to improve effectiveness and efficiency of sea transportation, they should implement their business processes in a good way. However, there is a potential failure from every business process which called risk that would reduce effectiveness and efficiency of service. Therefore, the company must manage the risks in its business processes, especially in the ship services. In order to answer that problem, this research will identify the potential risks in the ship services. The identification process will conducted by using fault tree analysis method to determine the cause of the risk in each activity. The evaluation of the risk will be done by using FMECA method which will classify the risks into a risk map based on the severity and the occurance of its risk. Furthermore, mitigation of risks that require corrective actions will established from evaluation process. Based on the risk identification, there are 62 risks in the ship service process. From the risk evaluation, there are identified 17 risks that require corrective actions and 45 risks that not require corrective actions. Mitigation conducted on the risks that require corrective actions. Therefore, it result 31 actions which consist of 14 actions to avoid, 3 actions to transfer, and 14 actions to reduce

    Efforts to improve attractiveness of lower level engineering education

    There are nine study programmes awarding the degree bachelor in engineering (högskoleingenjör) at the University of Gävle. Some of these have only a few applicants, even though the graduates are appreciated by a relatively large regional primary and secondary sector industry. A major revision of the programmes is planned. One objective is to increase the attractiveness of the programmes. In the revised programmes, students are proposed to study most courses together during the first year of study, even if they belong to different engineering specializations. This is intended to improve the study environment. Students in programmes with low numbers of applicants will become part of a richer and livelier student collective. However, the attractiveness could further be problematized by asking to whom higher education is attractive. A special focus will be on increasing the admission of students from groups in society that have been underrepresented in higher education. More specifically this may be linked to individual factors such as the educational level of parents, family income, immigrational background and geography. There may also be societal explanations in traditions of gendered professions. Engineering programmes, and especially some of the specializations at the university, are dominated by male students. This study focuses on how universities can take action to further increase the attractiveness of the engineering programmes, with a special regard to groups that are known to be underrepresented among the students

    From high friction zone to frontal collapse: dynamics of an ongoing tidewater glacier surge, Negribreen, Svalbard

    Abstract Negribreen, a tidewater glacier located in central eastern Svalbard, began actively surging after it experienced an initial collapse in summer 2016. The surge resulted in horizontal surface velocities of more than 25 m d −1 , making it one of the fastest-flowing glaciers in the archipelago. The last surge of Negribreen likely occurred in the 1930s, but due to a long quiescent phase, investigations of this glacier have been limited. As Negribreen is part of the Negribreen Glacier System, one of the largest glacier systems in Svalbard, investigating its current surge event provides important information on surge behaviour among tidewater glaciers within the region. Here, we demonstrate the surge development and discuss triggering mechanisms using time series of digital elevation models (1969–2018), surface velocities (1995–2018), crevasse patterns and glacier extents from various data sources. We find that the active surge results from a four-stage process. Stage 1 (quiescent phase) involves a long-term, gradual geometry change due to high subglacial friction towards the terminus. These changes allow the onset of Stage 2, an accelerating frontal destabilization, which ultimately results in the collapse (Stage 3) and active surge (Stage 4)

    A series of [Ru(bipy)₂L]⁺ and [Ru(phen)₂L]⁺ complexes where L is 2-[5-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl]pyridine (HL1) and 4-(5-pyridin-2-yl-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)benzene-1,2-diol (HL2) are reported. The compounds obtained have been characterised using X-ray crystallography, NMR, UV/Vis and emission spectroscopies. Partial deuteriation is used to determine the nature of the emitting state and to simplify the NMR spectra. The acid-base properties of the compounds are also investigated. The electronic structures of [Ru(bipy)₂L1]⁺ and Ru(bipy)₂HL1]²⁺ are examined using ZINDO. Electro and spectroelectrochemical studies on [Ru(bipy)₂(L2)]⁺ suggest that proton transfer between the catechol and triazole moieties on L2 takes place upon oxidation of the L2 ligand

    Development of a Multimodal Apparatus to Generate Biomechanically Reproducible Spinal Cord Injuries in Large Animals

    Rodents are widespread animal models in spinal cord injury (SCI) research. They have contributed to obtaining important information. However, some treatments only tested in rodents did not prove efficient in clinical trials. This is probably a result of significant differences in the physiology, anatomy, and complexity between humans and rodents. To bridge this gap in a better way, a few research groups use pig models for SCI. Here we report the development of an apparatus to perform biomechanically reproducible SCI in large animals, including pigs. We present the iterative process of engineering, starting with a weight-drop system to ultimately produce a spring-load impactor. This device allows a graded combination of a contusion and a compression injury. We further engineered a device to entrap the spinal cord and prevent it from escaping at the moment of the impact. In addition, it provides identical resistance around the cord, thereby, optimizing the inter-animal reproducibility. We also present other tools to straighten the vertebral column and to ease the surgery. Sensors mounted on the impactor provide information to assess the inter-animal reproducibility of the impacts. Further evaluation of the injury strength using neurophysiological recordings, MRI scans, and histology shows consistency between impacts. We conclude that this apparatus provides biomechanically reproducible spinal cord injuries in pigs

    Effects of labeling a product eco-friendly and genetically modified: A cross-cultural comparison for estimates of taste, willingness to pay and health consequences

    As the demand for eco-friendly food-produced without pesticides and environmentally harmful chemicals-increases, the need to develop genetically modified (GM) organisms that are more resistant to parasites and other environmental crop threats may increase. Because of this, products labeled both "eco-friendly" and "genetically modified" could become commonly available on the market. In this paper, we explore-in a Swedish and a UK sample-the consequences of combining eco-labeling and GM-labeling to judgments of taste, health consequences and willingness to pay for raisins. Participants tasted and evaluated four categories of raisins (eco-labeled and GM-labeled; eco-labeled; GM-labeled; and neither eco-labeled nor GM-labeled). The results suggest that there is a cost associated with adding a GM-label to an eco-labeled product: The GM-label removes the psychological benefits of the eco-label. This negative effect of the GM-label was larger among Swedish participants in comparison with UK participants, because the magnitude of the positive effect of the eco-label was larger in the Swedish sample and, hence, the negative effects of the GM-label became more pronounced (especially for health estimates). The roles of individual differences in attitudes, environmental concern and socially desirable responding in relation to the label effects are discussed

    The green halo: Mechanisms and limits of the eco-label effect

    Consumers believe that “eco-labeled” products taste better, which, at least in part, may be an effect of the label. The purpose of the current series of experiments was to examine some mechanisms and limits of this eco-label effect. In Experiment 1, an eco-label effect of similar magnitude was found for taste ratings of both conventional and organic bananas. Experiment 2 showed eco-label effects for a wider range of judgmental dimensions (i.e., health, calories, vitamins/minerals, mental performance, and willingness to pay) and the effect was about the same in magnitude for judgments of grapes and raisins. Experiment 3, with water as the tasted product, found no eco-label effect on judgments of taste, calories and vitamins/minerals, but an effect on willingness to pay, judgments of health benefits and judgments of mental performance benefits. Experiments 2 and 3 also included questionnaires on social desirability traits, schizotypal traits and pro-environmental consumer traits. The last was the strongest predictor of the eco-label effect amongst the three. In all, the eco-label effect is a robust phenomenon, but depends on interactions between product type and judgmental dimension. Implications for several accounts of the effect are discussed

    Abnormal motor activity during anaesthesia in a dog: a case report

    Get PDF
    Seizures or convulsions that occur during anaesthesia in veterinary patients are infrequently reported in the literature. Consequently, the incidence of such events is unknown. Several drugs commonly used in clinical veterinary anaesthesia have been shown to induce epileptiform activity in both human clinical patients and experimental candidates. The present case report describes convulsions in a four-year old male Bernese mountain dog during maintenance of anaesthesia with isoflurane after premedication with acepromazine and methadone followed by co-induction with propofol and ketamine. The dog had no history of previous convulsions. The use of several sedative and anaesthetic drugs makes it difficult to find one single causative pharmaceutical
