Composing the noise space: Musical architecture of urban culture

In the recent climate change era of several tropical urban living and cultures, many slums are built on the railroad tracks accompanying the overheating environment. The people in that area can receive the noise radiation that was made from the railroad and the train wheels friction. The design research aims to manage noise with high intensity into the white noise, which was fit and valuable to increasing human life performance in daily life. It enhances through designing the attractive area at Malang urban area as the site and analyzing the environmental psychology approach according to adaptable barriers. This study uses audio editing and music notation software, Adobe Audition and Cubase, to capture the sound to support the design. The results highlighted that musical architecture could bridge the needs of the various people’s living space and noise that cannot be moved and deleted. The play of materials, order, and composition of time that pay attention to the intensity and frequency of noise design project compose the rhythm of formal and spatial settlement design.

ASSESSMENT OF THE SAFETY OF PASSENGER CARS IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY ROLLOVER ON THE RAILROAD TRACKS

The purpose of the work is to assess the safety of passenger cars in case of an emergency rollover on the body of railroad tracks. The paper introduces a method for predicting injury of railway transport passengers as a result of swinging over the wagon on the body of railroad tracks. The method of research is mathematical modeling of scenarios of swinging over the wagon on a flat bottom or earth tramp of the railway track. A model of a passenger compartment has been developed, which is supplemented with models of a roomette, hand luggage and an anthropometric dummy. The originality of the work is the use of mannequin models for an accident with the rollover of a compartment car on the body of the railroad tracks and obtaining data on the interaction of fit models and a compartment car. The result of the study is the reported values of possible injury to passengers during an emergency rollover of a passenger car. Namely, the values of the head injury criterion, cervical vertebrae, breast and hips of the crash test dummy have been obtained. In comparison of the two considered scenarios of swinging over the wagon, the value of the head injury criterion for overturning the car on an inclined surface is 15% higher, the neck injury criterion is 30% higher, and the hip and chest injury criterion is 23% higher for mannequins on the upper shelves of the compartment due to their interaction with hand luggage. The obtained values do not exceed critical ones. The most dangerous positions of the mannequin model in the compartment of the car are revealed. Conclusions concerning the sufficient safety of the passenger car are formed and recommendations for the development of additional technical solutions to improve the safety of passenger cars are given.

ANALYSIS OF CAUSES OF SUBSIDENCE IN THE AREA NEAR UJUNGNEGORO STATION, BATANG REGENCY

Changes in human activities from time to time increase rapidly. This activity requires the support of a reliable transportation network. Railroad land transportation is the main choice to overcome the impasse of human mobility and distribution of goods. It is known that this type of transportation does not intersect with other means of transportation so that it is free from congestion. For the sake of smoothness and safety in the use of trains, proper maintenance of the rail network is needed. Land subsidence supporting the railroad tracks is a common event that disrupts the functioning of the railroad and is part of maintenance. One of the subsidence that often occurs on the railroad tracks is a subsidence on the railroad tracks around Ujungnegoro Station. To find out the cause, an analysis of geoelectric data, groundwater basin conditions and local topography has been carried out on it. The results of the analysis that have been carried out conclude that the clay content factor and the concentration of water flow are the main factors causing subsidence.

The Spatial Structure and Local Experience of Residential Segregation

This study examines the extent to which road connectivity and physical barriers—such as highways, railroad tracks, and waterways—structure spatial patterns of racial and ethnic residential segregation and shape how segregation is locally experienced by residents. Our focus is on physical barriers that are also social boundaries—features of the built environment that reduce physical connectivity and mark a social boundary between geographic areas. We measure residential segregation with attention to the proximity and road connectivity between locations, which allows us to identify areas where physical barriers mark a social boundary between geographic areas with different racial and ethnic compositions. Our approach integrates ethnographic observation of three such areas in Houston, Texas, to investigate residents' perceptions and local experience of social and spatial division. The results reveal that physical barriers are associated with heightened levels of ethnoracial segregation, and residents experience the barriers as symbolic markers of perceived distinctions between groups and physical impediments to social connection. Although barriers like highways, railroad tracks, and bayous are not inherently harbingers of ethnoracial segregation, our study demonstrates that physical barriers can provide the infrastructure for social boundaries and facilitate durable neighborhood racial divisions.

“With All The Ghosts that Haunt the Park...”: Haunted Recreation in Brent (Ontario)

When I first visited Brent, the defunct logging village, now campgrounds in the northern reaches of Algonquin Provincial Park I went searching for ghost stories. Often described as a “ghost town,” Brent has been occupied since the earliest days of logging in the Ottawa River/Kiji Sibi Valley and holds an important place in the oral history of the Park. The village was a place where many died after violent accidents during the timber rush of the eighteen-hundreds, where Algonquin Anishinaabe Peoples had camped and likely held a village of their own prior to colonization. Brent was once a bustling community, the former site of the Kish-Kaduk Lodge and an important railway stopover during the First World War. Further, Brent was home to the last year round resident of the Park. Mr. Adam Pitts, known to many local cottagers as the “Mayor” passed away in his home in 1998 one year after the railroad tracks were removed by the Canadian National Railway Company and the electricity was shut off. Now his cottage is a ruin some claim to be haunted by the Mayor’s restless ghost. And there are other ghost stories I heard in Brent that haunt the edges of the colonial imagination, stalking unwary travellers as they meander through what they sometimes assume to be “pristine wilderness.” Common patterns of self-apprehension and identity formation associated with tourism and heritage management in Algonquin Park are imbued with nationalist value through a prismatic complex of cultural appropriation, the denial of complicity in colonial violence, and the contingent obfuscation of Indigenous presence and persistence in the area, a process I call haunted recreation. Countering this complex is critical for working past the historical and intergenerational trauma associated with Canadian settler-colonialism and the contemporary inequities of Canadian society.

Emancipation of Women in Bosnia and Herzegovina during the austro-hungarian administration (1878-1918)

After the Congress of Berlin in 1878, in Bosnia and Hercegovina we saw big changes. The Austrian government was building roads, and railroad tracks. In the Austro-Hungarian period, also they changed their architectural style; from the prevailing ottoman one to more like in Vienna or Prague. This situation was a short time, in live only one generation. These changes affected to life and behavior of Bosnia and Hercegovinas’ citizens. Was changed several people, because after the Austrian arrive, a lot of Muslims Bosniacs, and Turks, were left this part. There were elites in this place. Their positions, how “new elites” take people which they came from different part of the Habsburg Monarchy; Hungarians, Germans, Poles, Czechs, etc. They were taking new ideas, how feminism. The emancipation of women was something new in these places. The first woman, which was proclaiming the slogans, as teachers. On the article we can show two examples; Jelica Belović-Bernadzikowska, and Jagoda Truhelka. They were born in Osijek, from giving Bosnian part ideas, that girl needs to will independent and need to have good graduated. These modern ideas, supported, in a way, the government because in the country was a school program for girls. Austro-Hungarian politics was building a school for girls, and take some scholarship went girl studied in University, how Marija Bergman, born in Bosnia, daughter of some Jews officials. However teachers not only modern women, similar roles had women-doctors. Girls who graduated Faculty of Medicine, arrive in Bosnia and Hercegovina and help Muslim women. Poles Teodora Krajewska and Czechs Anna Bayerova also take ideas of feminism, but, most important that she was great respect between patience. Propagating the feministic ideas was thinking which affect all women. Most important was not only slogans but also changes in everyday life normal family in Bosnia and Hercegovina. The other day only men can work on the farmland or work. After the Congress of Berlin situations was changed. On the consequences, women must be going to work, often how a worker in fabric. Work was hard, but women first time have their cash. Automatically her position in society was better. These situations have consequences for the city, as like villages. We sow this situation in the book Vere Ehrlich, which researched this topic in the interwar period. In the article, we went to show, that this changing was things also women, which life to margin, how prostitutes. Naturally, their life was always difficult, but the new government also got assistance. Habsburg's administration knew, that better control of specific profession, because this is the way how deal with the epidemic of syphilis, and something like this. In this work, we use scientific literature and documents from archives, mainly the Archive of Federation Bosnia and Hercegovina, and Historical Archive from city Sarajevo, when was document fo Jelica Belović-Bernadzikowska. How method we use case study and analyzing to literature and historical sources.

A System for Noise Control of the Technical Condition of Railroad Bridges and Tunnels in Seismically Active Regions

The authors analyze the technical condition of objects of railroad communications with modern bridges, tunnels, stations, overpasses, crossings and power installations. It is noted that, based on the specific features of such objects, control of their technical condition in most cases is carried out at certain intervals. At the same time, existing continuous control systems do not always adequately assess the technical condition of rail infrastructure objects due to the presence of additional noises in the processed signals at the time when a malfunction occurs. In this regard, one of the possible options is proposed for "continuous" monitoring of the beginning of changes in the technical condition of railroad tracks by means of noise technologies. It is pointed out that when the technical condition of rail infrastructure changes, vibration signals caused by the impact of rolling stock contain noises in addition to the useful component. The use of correlation and spectral analysis technologies, as well as other traditional methods does not allow ensuring the adequacy of the control results, due to the influence of the noise on useful vibration signals. Therefore, technologies are proposed for split analysis of the useful signal and the noise received from vibration, as well as for forming informative attributes of identification of the technical condition of rail infrastructure. In this case, the estimates of the characteristics of the useful signal and the noise are used as the main carrier of diagnostic information. Due to the simplicity and reliability of the developed theoretical algorithms, the implementation of the technical equipment and its installation in all objects of the railroad track present no particular difficulties. At the same time, the implementation of the Noise system will ensure real-time control of the beginning of changes in the technical condition of railroad tracks during the movement of the rolling stock. This, in turn, will allow timely detection of malfunctions, significantly enhancing the safety of passenger and cargo rail transportation.

Analisis Kondisi Jalan Rel Kereta Api Pada Lintas Sragen-Solo Berdasarkan Nilai Track Quality Indeks (TQI)

One way to keep the train service flow runs safely, maintenance of railroad geometry is required. Maintenance of railroad tracks uses the Track Quality Index assessment to determine which railroad compartments or corridors are prioritized for repair. The research method used is a quantitative research method. The calculation of the TQI of railroad tracks includes force, height, spoor width and lining. The results of the calculation of the TQI value (manual) give the cumulative total number of standard deviation index is 21.6. While the TQI calculation (mechanical) total cumulative number index standard deviation is 21.2. Based on the results of the TQI calculation, the condition of the railroad tracks can be classified into the criteria for the TQI level II (standard deviation of 20 - 35), namely that the railroad can be passed by trains at speeds of 80-100 km/hour. The railroad maintenance based on the TQI is the repairs to rail compartments or corridors that experience leveling damage in segment 9, lining damage in segment 7, wide damage spoor (gauge) in segments 5,7 and 10 and elevation damage (cant) in segment 3.

Performance of Petroleum Car Engines Around The Railway

The car accident while passing on the railroad tracks is not new anymore. Several assumptions emerged about the cause of the breakdown of the car. Some say it's because of the magnetic field that arises from the friction between railroad iron and railroad wheels. Various internet sites have discussed the problem of car accidents that often occur at train crossings, but do not include the cause of the accident. Logically, it is true that the friction between two metals will cause something that according to physics is called thermal energy in the form of heat. The heat generated by the friction of the railroad tracks and wheels is certainly not the cause of these accidents. In several previous studies, it was stated that the friction between the wheels and railroad tracks causes changes in the earth's magnetic field. The change in the earth's magnetic field is not yet known whether it affects the performance of a car engine. This research will look for the effect of changes in the earth's magnetic field on the performance of car engines. The engine performance under study is to compare car engine speed between car engine speed data due to changes in the earth's magnetic field with car engine speed data without the influence of changes in the earth's field using the t test method for two paired samples. The results of the data test show that changes in the earth's magnetic field do not affect the performance of a car engine speed.
