Analisis perbandingan perencanaan pondasi tiang pancang menggunakan metode konvensional dan metode P-Y curve pada lapisan tanah lunak yang tebal : studi kasus kota Banjarmasin dengan kedalaman tanah keras -40 meter
Get PDFDalam perencanaan pondasi gedung di atas tanah lunak,
penggunaan pondasi tiang pancang menjadi salah satu
pertimbangan yang dipilih. Namun, biaya pondasi tiang pancang
tersebut lebih mahal jika dibandingkan dengan biaya pembangunan
struktur atas gedung itu sendiri khususnya apabila kedalaman
lapisan tanah keras sangat dalam seperti tanah yang ada di kota
Banjarmasin. Apabila gedung tersebut merupakan sebuah gedung
tinggi, maka pondasi yang digunakan adalah pondasi tiang pancang
mencapai tanah keras, maka biayanya akan lebih mahal lagi.
Pada studi ini, dilakukan analisa terhadap struktur gedung
secara simetris 3 dimensi setinggi 4 dan 6 lantai yang dibangun di
atas tanah lunak Banjarmasin dengan kedalaman tanah keras
sedalam 40 meter menggunakan pondasi dalam tiang pancang.
Beberapa masalah yang harus dipecahkan adalah :a) Bagaimana
hasil perbandingan pondasi tiang pancang yang dibutuhkan dari
perhitungan dengan metode konvensional dan p-y curve pada
tumpuan end bearing dan friction. b) Bagaimana pengaruh pondasi
tiang pancang metode konvensional dan p-y curve pada tumpuan
end bearing dan friction terhadap struktur atas gedung. c)Bagaimana hasil perbedaan nilai biaya bahan yang dikeluarkan
dari masing-masing metode dan tumpuan.
Hasil dari studi ini didapatkan suatu kesimpulan bahwa
perencanaan struktur bangunan gedung yang paling hemat yaitu
menggunakan metode p-y curve dengan Pijin sebesar 0,9 ultimate
tumpuan end bearing.

In planning the foundation of the building on soft soil , the
use of pile foundation became one of the considerations is selected.
However, the costs pile foundation is more expensive when
compared to the cost of construction on the building structure itself,
especially if the depth of the bedrock is very deep as the soil in
Banjarmasin city. If the building is a high building, the foundation
used is a pile foundation reach the hard ground, then the cost will be
more expensive.
In this study, an analysis of the structure of the building is
symmetrical 3-dimensional high as 4 and 6 floors are built on soft
soil Banjarmasin hard soil to a depth of 40 meters depth using deep
foundation piles. Some of the problems to be solved are: a) How do
the results of pile foundation is needed in the calculation by the
conventional method and p-y curve at the end bearing and friction.
b) How do the influence of pile foundation conventional method and
p-y curve at the end bearing and friction of the upper structure of the
building. c) How do the results of differences in material costs
incurred value of each method and the pedestal.
Results from this study obtained a conclusion that the
structural design of the building is the most economical method with
Pijin p-y curve of 0.9 ultimate end bearing

Economic Cooperation and Regional Integration in the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS)
Get PDFFollowing a brief survey of the various economic cooperation programs and initiatives in which countries of the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) - particularly Cambodia, Lao People's Democratic Republic, Myanmar and Vietnam (CLMV) - are engaged, this paper examines the extent to which GMS economies have coveraged and become integrated, among themselves but also with other ASEAN countries. Preliminary evidence of stakeholders' involvement in selected subregional cooperation initiatives in also presented. Although all GMS countries have experienced rapid growth over the past 15 years, no evidence is found that participation of CLMV in subregional cooperation and integration initiatives has led to a narrowing of the gap between the least and most developed GMS and ASEAN countries. While significant progress has been made in reducing poverty, within-country inequality also increased during that period. In addition, while intra-GMS and intra-ASEAN trade both increased, trade of Cambodia and Lao PDR with other GMS or ASEAN countries remain small. If the various subregional cooperation frameworks are to significantly reduce the development gap among members, activities more directly aimed at this objective may need to be emphasized. Re-thinking institutional arrangements for regional cooperation at both the national and subregional/regional levels may be considered in order to facilitate participation of a more representative set of stakeholders in the prioritization of activities and to ensure synergies between the various initiatives can be captured.GMS, subregional trade and investment, regional integration, ASEAN, bilateral agreements, economic cooperation, stakeholder participation.

Madness and Gender in Late-Medieval English Literature
Get PDFThis thesis discusses presentations of madness in medieval literature, and the ways in which these presentations are affected by (and effect) ideas of gender. It includes a discussion of madness as it is commonly presented in classical literature and medical texts, as well as an examination of demonic possession (which shares many of the same characteristics of madness) in medieval exempla. These chapters are followed by a detailed look at the uses of madness in Malory’s Morte Darthur, Gower’s Confessio Amantis, and in two autobiographical accounts of madness, the Book of Margery Kempe and Hoccleve’s Series.
The experience of madness can both subvert and reinforce gender roles. Madness is commonly seen as an invasion of the self, which, in a culture which commonly identifies masculinity with bodily intactness, can prove problematic for male sufferers. Equally, madness, in prompting violent, ungoverned behaviour, can undermine traditional definitions of femininity. These rules can, however, be reversed. Malory’s Morte Darthur presents a version of masculinity which is actually enhanced by madness; equally divergent is Margery Kempe’s largely positive account of madness as a catalyst for personal transformation. While there is a certain consistency in the literary treatment of madness – motifs and images are repeated across genres – the way in which these images are used can alter radically. There is no single model of madness in medieval literature: rather, it is always fluid. Madness, like gender, remains open to interpretation
Mapping geographical inequalities in oral rehydration therapy coverage in low-income and middle-income countries, 2000-17
No full textAbstract: Background Oral rehydration solution (ORS) is a form of oral rehydration therapy (ORT) for diarrhoea that has the potential to drastically reduce child mortality; yet, according to UNICEF estimates, less than half of children younger than 5 years with diarrhoea in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) received ORS in 2016. A variety of recommended home fluids (RHF) exist as alternative forms of ORT; however, it is unclear whether RHF prevent child mortality. Previous studies have shown considerable variation between countries in ORS and RHF use, but subnational variation is unknown. This study aims to produce high-resolution geospatial estimates of relative and absolute coverage of ORS, RHF, and ORT (use of either ORS or RHF) in LMICs. Methods We used a Bayesian geostatistical model including 15 spatial covariates and data from 385 household surveys across 94 LMICs to estimate annual proportions of children younger than 5 years of age with diarrhoea who received ORS or RHF (or both) on continuous continent-wide surfaces in 2000-17, and aggregated results to policy-relevant administrative units. Additionally, we analysed geographical inequality in coverage across administrative units and estimated the number of diarrhoeal deaths averted by increased coverage over the study period. Uncertainty in the mean coverage estimates was calculated by taking 250 draws from the posterior joint distribution of the model and creating uncertainty intervals (UIs) with the 2 center dot 5th and 97 center dot 5th percentiles of those 250 draws. Findings While ORS use among children with diarrhoea increased in some countries from 2000 to 2017, coverage remained below 50% in the majority (62 center dot 6%; 12 417 of 19 823) of second administrative-level units and an estimated 6 519 000 children (95% UI 5 254 000-7 733 000) with diarrhoea were not treated with any form of ORT in 2017. Increases in ORS use corresponded with declines in RHF in many locations, resulting in relatively constant overall ORT coverage from 2000 to 2017. Although ORS was uniformly distributed subnationally in some countries, within-country geographical inequalities persisted in others; 11 countries had at least a 50% difference in one of their units compared with the country mean. Increases in ORS use over time were correlated with declines in RHF use and in diarrhoeal mortality in many locations, and an estimated 52 230 diarrhoeal deaths (36 910-68 860) were averted by scaling up of ORS coverage between 2000 and 2017. Finally, we identified key subnational areas in Colombia, Nigeria, and Sudan as examples of where diarrhoeal mortality remains higher than average, while ORS coverage remains lower than average. Interpretation To our knowledge, this study is the first to produce and map subnational estimates of ORS, RHF, and ORT coverage and attributable child diarrhoeal deaths across LMICs from 2000 to 2017, allowing for tracking progress over time. Our novel results, combined with detailed subnational estimates of diarrhoeal morbidity and mortality, can support subnational needs assessments aimed at furthering policy makers' understanding of within-country disparities. Over 50 years after the discovery that led to this simple, cheap, and life-saving therapy, large gains in reducing mortality could still be made by reducing geographical inequalities in ORS coverage.
