The Comparative Study

This comparative study probabilistically assesses the relative safety margins of code-compliant and pre-seismic code RC buildings with different heights in a region of medium seismicity. Detailed structural design and fiber-based modeling of six benchmark structures, namely two code-compliant buildings and two pre-code structures before and after retrofit, are undertaken to develop fragility functions using several earthquake records representing the most critical seismic scenario in the study area. Several inelastic dynamic analyses are performed to assess the seismic response and derive a range of fragility functions for the six benchmark buildings. Compared with contemporary structures, the study highlights the vulnerability of pre-code buildings due to the insufficient stiffness, strength, and ductility provided by their lateral force resisting systems. A practical retrofit solution for pre-code structures is subsequently assessed using the methodology adopted for other modern and old buildings. The probabilistic assessment results confirmed the comparable seismic performance of the retrofitted and code-conforming buildings. The comparative study, which provided insights into the differences between code-compliant versus pre-seismic code buildings before and after retrofit, contributes to reducing earthquake losses and improving community seismic resilience in earthquake-prone regions.

The Comparative Study of the Lancau Wolio Giving to Lowering Blood Pressure of Elderly Hypertension in Katobengke Public Health Center working area in 2020. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of Lancau Wolio potion in lowering blood pressure of elderly hypertension compared to other medication. The research was a quantitative approach and  a quasi-experimental  that compares the results of the intervention group and the control group. The intervention group comsume the Lancau Wolio and the control group taking medical drugs (Captopril) in lowering blood pressure. The results of this study showed a decrease of systolic blood pressure on the intervention group after consuming Lancau Wolio for two weeks (p = 0.003) and there was no difference in diastolic blood pressure on the intervention group before and after treatment (p = 0.255).In this study,  Lancau Wolio was proven to be an alternative medication for hypertension which is effective in reducing systolic blood pressure by 9.32% on  intervention group of elderly in  Katobengke Public Center working area..

The Comparative Study

The current study presents vulnerability and a reliability-mechanical approach which focuses on evaluating the seismic performance of reinforced concrete structures to determine the probability of failure. In this case, the performance function reflecting the non-linear behavior of the structure is modeled by a response surface to establish an analytical relationship between the random variables (strength of concrete and yield strength of steel) and mechanical responses of the structure (inter-floor displacement) obtained by the pushover results of finite element simulations. The push over analysis is executed by software SAP2000. The results acquired prove that properly designed frames will perform well under seismic loads. It is a comparative study of the behavior of the existing structure before and after reinforcement using the pushover method. The coupling indirect mechanical reliability by response surface avoids prohibitive calculation times. Finally, results of the proposed approach are compared with Monte Carlo Simulation. The comparative study shows that the structure is more reliable after the introduction of new shear walls.

The Comparative Study

Abstract: This research is a comparative literary study that uses Malay and Javanese versions of Mahabarata text sources. The research objects used were the text edition of Pandhawa Gubah (PG) by Sudibjo Z. Hadisutjipto and the text of Cheritera Pandawa Lima (CPL) by Khalid Hussain. The research method used is descriptive-analysis method. In the comparative study used a comparative literary theory proposed by Endraswara (2011). The results of the text comparison reveal the similarities and differences in the image of Bima figures in the Javanese and Malay versions. The equation as a whole is that both texts contain the same heroic storyline and heroic character, Bima. In addition, Indian influence is still evident in the two texts seen from the nuances of Hinduism that exist in both texts. While the difference is seen in the events that accompany Bima's struggle in achieving his victory. Based on these similarities and differences, it can be seen that the authors attempt to represent the concept of metaphysical interactions vertically and horizontally expressed through PG text. --- Abstrak: Penelitian ini adalah satu kajian sastra bandingan yang menggunakan sumber teks Mahabarata versi Melayu dan Jawa. Objek penelitian yang digunakan adalah edisi teks Pandhawa Gubah (PG) karya Sudibjo Z. Hadisutjipto dan teks Cheritera Pandawa Lima (CPL) karya Khalid Hussain. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode deskriptif-analisis. Dalam telaah perbandingan digunakan teori sastra bandingan yang dikemukakan Endraswara (2011). Hasil perbandingan teks mengungkapkan adanya persamaan dan perbedaan citra tokoh Bima dalam versi Jawa maupun versi Melayu. Persamaan secara keseluruhan adalah kedua teks tersebut mengandung alur cerita kepahlawanan dan tokoh pahlawan yang sama yaitu Bima. Selain itu, pengaruh India masih tampak dalam kedua teks tersebut dilihat dari nuansa Hinduisme yang ada dalam kedua teks. Sementara perbedaannya tampak pada peristiwa-peristiwa yang menyertai perjuangan Bima dalam mencapai kemenangannya. Berdasarkan persamaan dan perbedaan tersebut tampak adanya upaya penulis untuk merepresentasikan konsep interaksi metafisik secara vertikal dan horizontal yang diungkapkan melalui teks PG.
