Evaluating Mine Design Alternatives for Social Risks Using Discrete Choice Analysis

As with other engineering design tasks, mine design involves setting design objectives and constraints (the feasible solution space) and finding the optimal design alternative. Mine engineers often struggle to incorporate the preferences of local community members into their evaluation of mine design alternatives because the mining literature lacks tools to quantify such risks during mine planning. This paper presents an approach to evaluate community acceptance (i.e., community preferences for the alternatives) using discrete choice models and decision-based design during mine planning. Using discrete choice models and a rigorous framework, engineers can estimate the cost of social risks as a function of the probability that individuals in the host community will prefer a particular design alternative. They can then estimate the overall utility of a particular design alternative to the project proponents. This paper illustrates the proposed approach with a strategic mine planning exercise for a gold mine. The framework can be a useful tool for designing mines for sustainability, if combined with effective community engagement and management’s commitment to creating shared value.

Implementation of Additive Manufacturing in Designing A Wrist Hand Orthosis to Increase Grasping Time on The Left Hand of Cerebral Palsy Children

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a physical disability in childhood with impaired development of movement and posture due to disorders of the fetal or infant's brain. The measurement results of the spastic HCP children at YPAC Surakarta show that 8 attributes have difficulty grasping the precision type and 9 attributes of the power type. To solve this problem, hand tools called wrist hand orthoses are needed to restore hand function. This study aims to design alternative designs and make prototypes of wrist hand orthoses using the 3D printing process. The research stages began by collecting activity daily living (ADL) data and anthropometric data, taking a participatory approach to produce design alternatives, selecting design alternatives with the PUGH's concept selection method. The chosen design alternative will be printed through the additive manufacturing process. Testing with the 2015 human grasping database showed an increase in grasping time in 13 types of ADL activities from 17 ADLs.

DESAIN SARANA BERMAIN KUCING BERNUANSA ALAM

Kucing merupakan hewan yang memiliki kebutuhan naluriah untuk mengekspresikan perilaku tertentu salah satunya dengan bermain. Kucing yang terlalu lama atau selalu berada di dalam kandang tentu saja akan mengalami sifat yang lebih pendiam. Kucing sebagai hewan yang lincah tentu merindukan bermain di alam liar. Namun, bagi pecinta kucing melepaskan kucing bermain di luar rumah tentu sangat berat karena memiliki beragam resiko. Salah satu tindakan yang sering dilakukan adalah mengajak bermain di dalam rumah. Tetapi kucing tetaplah hewan yang membutuhkan suasana alam. Sarana bermain yang berada di dalam rumah tetapi memiliki fasilitas seperti di luar rumah membantu para pecinta kucing untuk mengajak kucingnya untuk bermain, sehingga diperlukan perancangan desain sarana bermain kucing. Dengan adanya metode perencanaan dan perancangan yang sudah dilakukan diantaranya adalah pengumpulan data, analisis data, konsep desain, alternatif desain, pengembangan desain dari alternatif desain terpilih, serta desain akhir, didapatlah hasil akhir perancangan sarana bermain yaitu berupa produk yang memiliki fasilitas dan kebutuhan kucing serta memiliki suasana seperti di luar rumah dan dengan desain berbentuk jejak kaki kucing sehingga dapat menjadi komunikasi pada konsumen untuk mengetahui bahwa sarana bermain ini dikhususkan untuk kucing. Cat is an animal that has the instinctive need to express certain behaviours either by playing.Cats are too long or they are always in the cage of course will experience more reticent silent. Cats as an animal thats agile, certainly miss playing in nature But, for cat lovers release the cat to play ouside the house of course very heavy because it has a variety of risks.One of the actions is common practice to invite to play in the house. But the cat still need of nature.Playgrounds inside the house but have facillities such as outside the home to help the cat lovers to take his cat to play. So, its necessary to design the playground cat. With their methods of design and planning that has been done among the data collection, data analysis, concept design, alternative design, design development of alternative design and the final design was selected at the end of the design playground it can be the result of playing in the form of products which have the facilities and the needs of cats and has a feel like in nature and design shaped footprints of a cat. So it can be a communication on the consumer to know this playground especially to cats.

DESAIN SARANA BAWA PERALATAN UNTUK BIDAN MANDIRI

Abstrak Sarana bawa adalah salah satu produk yang sangat perlukan pada kebutuhan sehari-hari. Terdapat banyak ragam macam sarana bawa, salah satunya tas untuk membawa peralatan kesehatan. Salah satu yang membutuhkan sarana bawa peralatan kesehatan adalah bidan mandiri. Saat ini, bidan mandiri belum memiliki sarana bawa yang dapat memudahkan mereka dalam membawa peralatan kesehatannya. Bidan mandiri memerlukan sarana bawa yang memiliki mobilitas dikarenakan pekerjaannya yang tidak hanya di klinik, juga di rumah pasien.Berdasarkan data tersebut, dipilih tas untuk membawa peralatan kesehatan bidan mandiri. Peneliti melakukan penelitian yang ada hubungannya dengan tas peralatan kesehatan bidan mandiri. Dilakukan pengumpulan data dari literatur, studi kasus dengan wawancara dan observasi dengan bidan mandiri, dan kompetitor dari tas untuk bidan mandiri. Setelah semua data terkumpul, dilakukan analisis data. Untuk mendapatkan sintesa desain, analisa harus terpenuhi. Jika sintesa dan konsep dari tas untuk bidan mandiri sudah dilakukan, maka dimulai pembuatan alternatif desain tas peralatan untuk bidan mandiri. Dari alternatif desain tas peralatan untuk bidan mandiri ini dilakukan kuesioner untuk mendapatkan rekomendasi untuk final desain. Lalu penelitian ini ditutup dengan kesimpulan dan saran AbstractTool carrier is one of a product that needed in daily life. There is many variety of tool carrier, one of the tool carrier is for carry medical instruments. One of who needs a tool carrier for medical instruments is independent midwife. At the moment, independent midwife doesn’t have tool carrier that could ease them in carrying their medical instruments. Independent midwife needs tool carrier that have mobility because their work doesn’t only in clinic, also in patient’s house.Based on that data, bag has chosen for carrying medical instruments’ independent midwife. Researcher did a research that have connection with the bag for independent midwife medical instruments. Data were collected from literature, case of study along with interview and observation on independent midwife, and competitor from bag for independent midwife. After every data collected, analysis data needed to do. To get design synthesis, analysis should be completed. If design synthesis and concept of bag for independent midwife were done, then begins to make design alternative bag of medical instruments for independent midwife. From the alternative bag of medical instruments questionnaire needed to do to get recommendation for final design. Then this research closed with conclusions and suggestions.

Peripheralization Risk Mitigation: A Decision Support Model to Evaluate Urban Regeneration Programs Effectiveness

The term peripheralization indicates a process that can generate social, physical, and environmental degradation in urban areas. In the light of the new urban geography and the socio-economic trends taking place globally, there is a risk that the typical decay of a peripheral condition may affect city in their entirety, regardless of spatial proximity to its centre. Then, regeneration interventions should be targeted primarily at areas with a significant peripheralization risk, understood as a combination of potential degradation factors. Consequently, the decision-makers’ choice of the best design alternative should be informed by the knowledge of pre-existing vulnerability levels, and oriented towards the solution that maximizes their reduction. This is possible when the planning of interventions in the most vulnerable areas, through Urban Regeneration Programs, is able to take into account the results of the project alternatives economic evaluation. Such an approach constitutes the main novelty of the study. So, the aim of the work is to provide a decision support model for the evaluation of urban regeneration interventions effectiveness in areas of high peripheralization risk. To this end, the contribution defines a set of mitigation indicators and the assessment of the most effective design alternative through analytic hierarchy process (AHP). The proposed model was applied to an area of Marcianise Municipality, in Campania Region (Italy).
