Great potentiality of coconut cannot be separated from the method of coconut harvest which still draw a lot of problems in. Until now, coconut farmers still use climber service in coconut harvesting. The process of coconut tree climbing is usually done without tools. This is very risky for the harvesters. Since the utilization of animal service (monkeys) have already prohibited from commercial activities, human service in coconut tree climbing becomes the alternative for the farmers. For this reason, the aim of this study is to design a tool for coconut tree climbing that will help coconut harvesters in Lombok Sangatta Bay, East Kutai, by considering climber's characteristics. Furthermore, the tool is made in form of design, which then being simulated to determine the tools’ safety level, stress level and the ability which is designed by using SolidWorks 2018 software.The result for the proposed design of coconut tree climbing tool for coconut harvester in Lombok Sangatta Bay, East Kutai, is to use 20 mm x 20 mm x 2 mm of hollow profile with AISI 1020 material built, which is declared safe for 80 kg capacity. The highest score of stress is 223.04 Mpa on body holder, 4.68 mm deflection, 1.6 in factor of safety, and 17.08 kg for tool's overall weight

Ancient Goa was reclaimed from the marshy deltas by remnants of the Saraswat Civilization who settled there and brought with them their ancient technology. We need to learn from these ancient structures that have survived nearly 8000 years and therefore are truly sustainable. Their construction method needs to be replicated to help India’s growing infrastructure demand and lowland reclamation. They use renewable, locally available materials like Soil, Lime, Ash, Cowdung and Straw. They are multi functional: habitation, irrigation, pisiculture, agriculture, rainwater harvesting, infrastructure etc. they possess a stable shape. They save at an average 80% more space than standard embankments. A 6-8% mix of Lime and Coconut Leaf Ash gave best results for soil stabilization. They have good slope stability with a factor of safety of more than 1.5. They have no seepage problems. The self-repairing sustainable coconut tree root system provided 20% more shear strength and seismic stability. As they have already existed for many years they are already undergone settlement and consolidation. This is green engineering that has scope for ancient technology aiding modern technology and spurring India’s growth in it race for international primacy as a technological superpower.

In the past, tests conducted on sand to evaluate the field performance of machine foundations have utilized only a limited number of load cycles. Results of these tests were extrapolated to determine the permanent deformation experienced by the foundation materials over the life of the machines. An attempt has been made in this presentation to develop a complete spectrum of the variation of strain with stress level and number of loading cycles for anisotropically consolidated Ottawa sand. Up to 10 million stress cycles were applied. The axial strains show three distinct stages of strain with number of cycles.

This article explores the relationship between civility and diplomacy in the transnational commercial activities of traders from Afghanistan. The commodity traders on which the article focuses – most of whom are involved in the export and wholesale of commodities made in China – form long-distance networks that criss-cross multiple parts of Asia and are rooted in multiple trading nodes across the region, including the Chinese commercial city of Yiwu, Moscow and Odessa. Much scholarship associates both diplomacy and civility with impression management and dissimulation and therefore identifies such modes of behaviour as being inimical to the fashioning of enduring ties of trust. However, analysis of ethnographic material concerning the traders’ understandings of being diplomatic, as well as the ways in which they seek to conform to contested local notions of civility, furnishes unique insights into the ways in which they build the social relationships and ties of trust on which their commercial activities depend. By exploring the interrelationship between civility and diplomacy, the article seeks to move anthropological debate beyond the question of whether civility is either a form of artifice premised on performance or a deeper ethical virtue in and of itself. It suggests, rather, ambiguity, ambivalence, contradiction and imperfection are inbuilt aspects of the ways in which respect is communicated and evaluated, and ties of trust fashioned and maintained.

The aim of study was to evaluate the change quality of life of ostomy patients after reconstructive rehabilitation treatment. The study was performed in two Lithuanian‘s sanatoriums. The study was made in two stages. We questioner 40 patients, who arrived to sanatoriums for rehabilitation after ostomy operation. Patient‘s were asked to answer the questionnaires in the first day of stay and 3 month after operation. Questionnaires: Ostomate Quality of Life (QOL) Survey and 15 supplementary question were used. The results of the study show that after three months following ostomy operation patient‘s quality of life improves significantly. The results of the study show that stress level was significantly lower (77,5 percent) in three months after having an intestine stoma operation, physical condition got better (80 percent), psychological state (75 percent), self-evaluation (72,5 percent), sexuality (52,5 percent), activeness has risen as well (85 percent) (p<0,05). Patients education began in a hospital and is continued at the sanatorium. Ostomy patients were introduced about changing the colostomy pouches and parastomal skin care. It is important to note that at the sanatorium the majority of ostomy patients receive information about nutrition peculiarities. Conclusions. The quality of life of ostomy patients improved significantly in many areas after reconstructive rehabilitation treatment.

Purpose: After a thorough study of literature it is concluded that the studies related to unskirted/skirted octagonal footings on sand have not yet been investigated. Thus, this paper presents a numerical analysis to assess the ultimate bearing capacity of the unskirted, unskirted-embedded, singly and doubly skirted octagonal footings resting on different sands (S1, S2, and S3). The length of skirt and depth of the embedded footing were varied from 0.0B to 1.5B. Design/methodology/approach: The numerical square and octagonal footing with singly and doubly skirted footing models were developed using Plaxis 3D software. Findings: The results of the doubly skirted octagonal footings ultimate bearing capacity were marginally higher in comparison to the singly skirted footing at all normalised skirt depths as well as for all sands up to a Ds/B ratio 0.25 beyond which the increase in the ultimate bearing capacity in case of doubly skirted footing was appreciable. Research limitations/implications: The results presented in this paper were based on numerical analysis. However, for the actual footings the soil placement and compaction, details of skirt construction and the stress level will be different from the numerical analysis. Further investigations using full-scale numerical models simulating field size footings were recommended to generalize the results. Originality/value: No such study on singly and doubly skirted octagonal shaped footings were conducted so far. Hence, an attempt was made in this article to predict the bearing capacity of those footings using Plaxis 3D.

Human service responses to sexual abuse perpetrated by young people are often extensive and expensive, and yet many aspects of these responses remain contentious. In 2007, as members of Aotearoa New Zealand Association of Social Workers (ANZASW), we prepared a submission to the Social Services Committee for the Inquiry into the Care and Rehabilitation of Youth Sex Offenders. This paper expands on points made in the ANZASW submission, with a particular focus on availability of suitable residential placements for young men who have sexually abused. The paper then considers issues relevant to reintegration of these youth into the community following a period in residential placement.

Long straight-in and close-in, curved, descending instrument approaches were made in NASA's fixed-base Terminal Configured Vehicle simulator. The pilot either manually controlled the simulator or monitored the automatic system control of the simulated aircraft during the approach. Tests were performed with or without the display of traffic. The results indicate that the pilots' use of the Electronic Horizontal Situation Indicator (EHSI) increased appreciably for the close-in, curved, descending approach compared to the conventional straight-in approach. When operating as a monitor of the autopilot system, the pilot scanned around more with less attention devoted to the Electronic Attitude Direction Indicator (EADI). The pilots preferred the manual mode because it kept them in the control loop. The addition of displayed traffic to the EHSI increased the pilots' use of the EHSI with a corresponding reduction in his use of the EADI. Also, the pilot's pupil diameter increased during the landing flare indicating a higher stress level even though the tests were conducted in a fixed-base simulator.

An investigation was conducted to determine if drivers of vehicles with studded tires are making use of the increased coefficient of friction on icy roads to maintain a higher speed or to drive at a higher level of safety than do drivers with unstudded tires. Speeds, following-distances, and presence of studded tires were checked on several thousand vehicles in real traffic during early morning hours. The sample studied consisted of drivers in traffic between a suburb and the town of Uppsala. The measurements were carried out with traffic analyzers and studded-tires indicators on two consecutive curves. Studies were made in both dry and icy road conditions. The safety level was calculated in the following ways: (1) the quotient between coefficient of friction used and the maximum friction available in the curve, and (2) the quotient between actual speed and the highest possible speed in the curve. The results showed that, although drivers with vehicles equipped with studded tires are driving somewhat faster than drivers with unstudded tires in icy (low friction) road conditions, this increase in speed does not lead to lower safety. On the contrary, drivers with studded tires are, on the average, driving with larger safety margins than drivers with unstudded tires. In dry (high friction) road conditions, no clear differences in safety or speed were found.
