Devil’s Oak: Waking the Feminine Wound
Full text linkDevil’s Oak: Waking the Feminine Wound is a short story collection that features strong female characters against a backdrop of ghosts, fairy tales, and urban legends. The thirteen stories subvert the historical narrative of women in fairy tales, positioning them as bold and willing to step into the face of danger. “The Braided Veil” features a young orphan in Victorian New Orleans who seeks revenge upon her mother’s abuser. “Devil’s Oak” addresses the horrors of slavery through the eyes of a young girl who learns that her family owned human beings. “Good Little Girls” takes readers back to childhood in which a sick girl explores her neighbor’s attic on a stormy day; she discovers more than she bargained for. “The Game” features relational aggression in the 1990’s in a “mean girls” style that takes a grizzly turn. “Selkie Skin” leans into Celtic lore, following a young pregnant girl who longs for freedom. “The Ripper Society” reaches back through time to Jack the Ripper’s wife, who discovers his misdeeds and takes matters into her own hands. “She Has Seen the Wolf” is longer story that connects to my novel, The Butterfly Circle; when a graduate student learns she is pregnant, she uncovers her family’s connected history to a haunted home for unwed mothers. In “Roots in the Cove,” a woman in an unhealthy relationship shapeshifts into a bear on a trip to Gatlinburg and finally finds her freedom. Both “Marsh Girl” and “Cicadas in the Suburbs” explore the psychological challenges of suburban life, including postpartum depression and the longing for the magic of youth. In “Honey Tree,” a divorced woman seeks comfort from the bees, and in “Crow Woman,” a widow faces metaphorical death and is reborn. Finally, “Ghost Apples” is a retelling of Snow White from the perspective of the queen; she shapeshifts into a wolf to protect a young girl who has been attacked and seeks revenge upon her abuser.

Reviews
“What distinguishes Mary Carroll Leoson’s work is her ability to inhabit the liminal spaces between myth and reality, past and present, the seen and the unseen. These stories are rooted deeply in the soil of ancestral memory and the landscapes of the American South, yet they reach far beyond that geography into the universal territory of trauma, resilience, and transformation.” --Christopher Barzak, author of One for Sorrow and A Voice Calling.
“Each story reads like an old heirloom passed from hand to hand, warm with use and heavy with meaning. The prose is lyrical but never ornamental; the horror, earned. And as the final page turns, it leaves you changed. Devil’s Oak: Waking the Feminine Wound isn’t just read. The stories linger like the smell of roses at a closed casket.” --Diane Sismour, author of novels, short stories, and screenplays
“I loved Marguerite in “Devil’s Oak,” her personality shone through, and I found myself rooting for her immediately. I loved seeing her rebel against expectations of femininity. Go, Marguerite!” -- Janet Alcorn, author of award-winning short stories
“Kate, Bea, and Nana from “She Has Seen the Wolf” are my favorite characters in this standout story of this Devil’s Oak collection; and I could easily see it adapted to television in some way.” --Ada Wofford, Sundress Publications
“My favorite character and story is Claire in “Marsh Girl,” plus “Good Little Girls” is especially chilling, and I enjoyed “The Ripper Society” so much, I was bereft at the end, hoping for more!” --Jasmine De La Paz, Gothic horror author

Ali Mahmuddi, NIT: 51145366.T, 2019 “Analisis masuknya air pendingin ke
dalam ruang pembakaran pada mesin induk di kapal MT. Medelin West”
skripsi Program Studi Teknika, Program Diploma IV, Politeknik Ilmu
Pelayaran Semarang, Pembimbing I: Drs. Edy Warsopurnomo., M.M.,
M.Mar.E. dan Pembimbing II: Andri Yulianto, M.T.
Mesin induk merupakan mesin penggerak utama di kapal yang menjadi
penggerak/pendorong kapal supaya kapal dapat berjalan maju atau mundur sesuai
pengoperasian. Masuknya air pendingin ke dalam ruang bakar mempengaruhi
kinerja mesin induk. Permasalahan tersebut diketahui saat akan melakukan test
engine sebelum kapal melakukan manouver, mesin induk di blow up dan keluar
air pendingin dari indicator valve silinder no. 3 mesin induk.
Penulis merangkum permasalahan-permasalahan dan mencoba
mengidentifikasi masalah dengan menggunakan metode SHEL (Softwere,
Hardwere, Environment, Livewere) dan menggunakan metode USG (Urgency,
Seriousness, Growth) untuk mengetahui faktor apa yang menyebabkan masuknya
air pendingin ke dalam ruang pembakaran mesin induk dan menentukan Upaya
apa yang dilakukan untuk mengatasi masuknya air pendingin ke dalam ruang
pembakaran mesin induk.
Ada banyak penyebab masuknya air pendingin ke dalam ruang pembakaran
mesin induk silinder no.3 di kapal MT. Medelin West. Penyebab utama masuknya
air pendingin ke dalam ruang pembakaran silinder no 3 di MT. Medelin West
adalah keretakan dinding cylinder head, karena perawatan yang tidak sesuai
dengan PMS dan kualitas air pendingin yang mempengaruhi sistem pendinginan
yang menyebabkan kelelahan bahan cylinder head dan cylinder head mengalami
keretakan yang mempengaruhi kinerja dari mesin induk. Untuk menangani
masalah tersebut berdasarkan penelitian oleh penulis dapat dilakukan upaya
perawatan dan penggantian spare part sesuai dengan PMS serta menjaga kualitas
air pendingin untuk system pendinginan yang lebih baik
ABSTRACT
Ali Mahmuddi, NIT: 51145366.T, 2019 "Analysis of the entry of cooling water
into the combustion chamber on the main engine on the vessel MT. Medelin
West" script of Engineering Study Program, Diploma IV Program, Semarang
Shipping Science Polytechnic, Advisor I: Drs. Edy Warsopurnomo., M.M.,
M.Mar.E. and Advisor II: Andri Yulianto, M.T.
The main engine is the main propulsion engine on the ship which is the
driver / driver of the ship so that the ship can run forward or backward according
to the operation. The entry of cooling water into the combustion chamber affects
the performance of the main engine. The problem is known when going to do a
test engine before the ship maneuver, the main engine is blow up and out cooling
water from the cylinder valve indicator no. 3 main engines.
The author summarizes the problems and tries to identify the problem using
the SHEL method (Softwares, Hardwares, Environment, Livewere) and uses the
USG method (Urgency, Seriousness, Growth) to generate priority problems in the
object under study..
There are many causes of the entry of cooling water into the cylinder
combustion chamber No. 3 on the MT vessel. Medelin West, from the causes was
analyzed to find the main cause of the entry of cooling water into the No. 3
cylinder combustion chamber in the MT. Medelin West is the crack of the
cylinder head wall. Cracks occur due to maintenance that is not in accordance
with PMS and cooling water quality that affects the cooling system which causes
cylinder head material fatigue. So that the cylinder head is fractured and cooling
water enters the combustion chamber and affects the performance of the main
engine. To deal with these problems based on research by the author, efforts can
be made to maintain and replace spare parts in accordance with PMS and maintain
the quality of cooling water for a better cooling syste
Last/zakkingsgedrag van MT-palen
No full textIn delen van Nederland bestaan de bovenste grondlagen uit samendrukbare grond, zoals klei en veen. Door het gebruik van paalfunderingen kunnen belastingen, afkomstig van constructies en gebouwen, naar diepere meer draagkrachtige lagen worden afgedragen. Door hedendaagse innovatieve ontwikkelingen in de bouw worden funderingspalen met een diameter van één meter en groter toegepast om paalbelastingen boven 10.000 kN op te nemen. Voor de uitbreiding van het Ibis hotel, gelegen aan de westkant van het Amsterdam Centraal station wordt een nieuw paalsysteem, genaamd de MT-paal, gebruikt om de hoge belastingen af te dragen. De keuze voor het gebruik van de MT-paal is mede bepaald door de beperkte beschikbare ruimte en het vereiste trillingsvrije installatieproces. Tijdens de belastingsfase zal de MT-paal vervormingen vertonen, het last/zakkingsgedrag. Hoe de MT-paal zich zal gedragen tijdens het belasten is vooralsnog niet bekend. In gangbare normen zijn geen standaard paalfactoren beschikbaar voor nieuwe paalsystemen, waaronder de MT-paal. Ook is voor de MT-paal geen proefbelasting uitgevoerd, die het gedrag van deze funderingspaal tijdens het belasten kan vaststellen. Het ontwikkelen van een standaard rekenmethodiek om het last/zakkingsgedrag van de MT-paal te bepalen, is de hoofddoelstelling van dit afstudeeronderzoek. Voor een goede benadering van het last/zakkingsgedrag van de MT-paal zijn twee belangrijke aspecten, namelijk de paalpunt en de paalschacht, geanalyseerd. Eerst is het uitvoeringsproces van de MT-paal vergeleken met de boorpaal. Vervolgens zijn zowel de MT-paal als de boorpaal in PLAXIS gemodelleerd en is het last/zakkingsgedrag van beide palen met elkaar vergeleken.Geo-engineeringGeotechnologyCivil Engineering and Geoscience

OPTIMALISASI PROSES TANK CLEANING MUATAN CRUDE PALM OIL DI MT. VEGA 1
Full text linkABSTRAKSI
Ali, Ahmad Try Nur. 2024. “Optimalisasi Proses Tank Cleaning Muatan Crude
Palm Oil di MT. Vega 1”. Skripsi. Program Diploma IV, Program Studi
Nautika, Politeknik Ilmu Pelayaran Semarang, Pembimbing I: Capt.
Suherman, M.Si., M.Mar., Pembimbing II: Wahyu Prasetya Anggrahini,
S.Si., M.T.
Salah satu muatan yang sering diangkut di kapal MT. Vega 1 adalah minyak
kelapa sawit mentah atau Crude Palm Oil (CPO). Setelah muatan CPO selesai
dibongkar, dilakukan kegiatan pembersihan tangki agar kualitas muatan tetap
terjaga dan tidak terjadi kontaminasi. Namun pengangkutan CPO di kapal MT. Vega
1 seringkali menemui hambatan saat proses tank cleaning. Hal ini disebabkan
karena muatan CPO mudah membeku pada suhu ruangan. Oleh karena itu, perlu
adanya upaya pencegahan untuk meminimalisir hambatan tersebut. Dengan
demikian, diharapkan proses tank cleaning muatan CPO di MT. Vega 1 dapat
berjalan secara optimal.
Penelitian ini akan membahas apa saja penyebab terhambatnya proses tank
cleaning muatan CPO di MT. Vega 1 dan bagaimana upaya pencegahan yang
dilakukan terhadap hambatan tersebut. Metode yang digunakan pada penelitian ini
adalah metode kualitatif. Faktor penyebab proses tank cleaning tidak berjalan
optimal dianalisis menggunakan diagram fishbone berdasarkan hasil observasi,
wawancara, dan dokumentasi yang dilakukan peneliti saat melaksanakan praktik
laut. Diagram fishbone kemudian dianalisis lebih lanjut untuk menentukan upaya
pencegahan agar tidak terjadi hambatan saat proses tank cleaning.
Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa: (1) Penyebab terhambatnya proses
tank cleaning dipengaruhi oleh faktor man karena kurangnya pengawasan crew,
faktor machine karena kerusakan alat, faktor material karena keterbatasan bahan,
dan faktor method karena ketidaksesuaian prosedur tank cleaning; (2) Upaya
pencegahan yang dilakukan yaitu memberikan pelatihan dan meningkatkan
pengawasan kinerja crew, melakukan perbaikan dan perawatan alat, melakukan
permintaan supply material kepada perusahaan, serta memberikan pengetahuan
kepada crew mengenai prosedur pelaksanaan tank cleaning yang baik dan benar
