ANALISIS KEKUATAN BEKISTING ALUKO PADA PROYEK APARTEMEN KINGLAND AVENUE SERPONG
Full text linkFormwork is a tool for molding concrete to the desired size and shape. The implementation of the formwork in the Kingland Avenue Serpong Apartment construction project uses all-in-one formwork. The structural implementation system in the formwork of columns, beams, and floor slabs is carried out together. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the strength of the formwork on beams, columns, and floor slabs on the Kingsland Avenue Apartment Project. Data collection techniques using literature study, field visits, and interviews are used to achieve the objectives of this paper. The overall strength analysis of the Aluko formwork results supports the working loads and does not exceed the allowable stresses and deflections. Based on the results of the analysis, the column strength at the wall panel bending stress is 98.32 N/mm2, and the deflection strength is 0.98 mm. The results of the analysis showed that the strength of the beam and floor slab at the deck panel bending stress was 48.16 N/mm2, and the deflection strength was 3.17 mm.
Keywords: Aluko, Formwork, Method.

Full text linkThe aim of the Distance Education and Teachers’ Training (DETA) biennial conference is to create a platform for African educationists and all those collaboratively working with them on the continent to share knowledge and deliberate on educational issues. The 2017 conference held in Rwanda was no exception as participants met to deliberate on how Africa could get practical about achieving SDG 4 in Teacher Education in Africa. Since 2011, the conference has been publishing its proceedings. Participants toeach conferenceare invited to submit their papers for blind peer review, andreviewers are drawnfrom beyond Africa. Over the years and with fourbiennial editions, participants have come to look forward to the Proceedings due to the rigorous process it goes through and the robust debates it generates. Thus, the conference committee decidedto turn the Proceedingsinto an OER journal. It was thus renamed Teacher Education through Flexible Learning in Africa(TETFLE) with a focus on the developing contexts. Thisis the maiden edition of the journal.The theme of the 2017 conference was Getting practical about Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4 in Teacher Education in Africa
Shaping open, distance and e-learning in post school education and training : a call for a revised agenda
Full text linkThe impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has brought the attention
of distance education issues to the fore in a way not seen before.
All forms of educational provision and sectors were affected by the
pandemic. The aim of this conceptual leading article is to highlight
three pertinent issues that need to be taken into account in Open,
Distance and e-Learning (ODeL) to ensure the relevance of the
Post School Education and Training (PSET) sector in the Fourth
Industrial Revolution (4IR) and beyond. Based on a review of the
literature, the article highlights three pillars of successful use of
technology to enhance quality in PSET, especially in the wake of the
worldwide transition to remote teaching and learning. The revised
agenda comprises the questioning of previously held beliefs about
learning and teaching; the responsiveness of curricula and ensuring
the quality of ODeL offerings. It argues that unless traditional beliefs
about teaching and learning are questioned and curricula are
streamlined to align with the demands of the knowledge society,
the value of PSET may be trivialised in a context that is so rapidly
changing. It also argues that sound quality assurance mechanisms
should be put in place to ensure sufficient depth in student learning
experiences, rigour in assessment processes and confidence in
graduates by employers and society at large. Using the theory
of Connectivism as a lens, the authors provide a framework with some recommendations for sound ODeL teaching and learning
practices that are relevant for the demands of the 4IR and beyond.
The framework focuses on five pillars, which are foregrounding a
student-centred approach; embracing appropriate technologies
to support teaching and learning; strengthening the capacity to
support success; ensuring appropriate assessment processes and
regular curriculum revision and renewal.http://journals.ufs.ac.za/index.php/pieam202
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Print media narratives of bullying and harassment at the Football Association:A case study of Eniola Aluko
Full text linkIn this article we draw on critical theory to discuss how power frames the ‘narratives’ of Eniola Aluko, a Black, female footballer who accused an established (White) football coach of bullying, harassment and racial comments. We discuss data analysed from 80 print media articles from three British newspapers (with circulation figures ranging from 1.4 million to 135,000 a day), from 6th August 2017 to 19th October 2017. In our findings we discuss the four dominant themes. Through our analysis we examine how race, gender and belonging frame Aluko in ways that seek to position her as an outsider and question her legitimacy in the white male space of football. We demonstrate that these frames are shaped by, as well as reinforce, existing power relations, and influence how bullying and racial harassment are represented in media accounts. We argue this type of analysis has implications for our understanding of how narratives bullying and harassment in sport can be re-framed along dominant power lines that question the legitimacy of athlete’s accounts and experiences
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
