Experiments on natural convection in water-cooled ribbed channels with different aspect ratios
No full textNatural convection heat transfer in vertical ribbed channels, using water as working fluid, has been experimentally studied. The investigation encompassed a large range of the channel aspect ratio, defined as the ratio between channel spacing and channel height, while the wall-to-fluid temperature difference was kept fixed. The measurement of local heat transfer coefficient was facilitated by a non-intrusive diagnostic tool, the schlieren technique, whose use for the quantitative study of liquid flows is rarely documented in the literature. Results provided an insight into the nature of free convection heat transfer from ribbed channels, whose geometry is significant in such several engineering devices as electronic equipment. It was found that a general reduction of heat transfer performance, relative to that of a flat vertical surface or a smooth vertical channel, was induced by the presence of ribs, within the range of the parameters investigated. Local and heat transfer characteristics were sensitive to changes in interplate spacing for small channel aspect ratios. Experimental data, recast in dimensionless form, were in excellent agreement with those obtained by this author in a previous research performed for aircooled channels, using the same experimental technique, the same geometric parameters of the ribbed surface, and a similar Rayleigh number
Effect of Three Diets (Low-FODMAP, Gluten-free and Balanced) on Irritable Bowel Syndrome Symptoms and Health-Related Quality of Life
No full textSeveral studies have reported some efficacy of diets low in fermentable carbohydrates (Fermentable Oligo-, Di-, Monosaccharides and Polyols (FODMAPs)) in Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). There is no evidence of its superiority compared to gluten-free and balanced diets in improving IBS patients' quality of life (QoL). The aim of this study is to assess whether different diets can improve QoL in IBS. Forty-two patients with IBS, according to Rome IV criteria, were enrolled. Low-FODMAP, gluten-free and balanced diets were proposed to each patient in the same succession. Each diet was followed for 4 weeks. The Bristol Stool Scale, the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for bloating and abdominal pain, and the SF12 questionnaire for health-related quality of life were applied at the beginning and at the end of each diet. Twenty-eight of the forty-two patients completed all the three diets. All the three diets reduced symptom severity (p < 0.01), bloating (p < 0.01) and abdominal pain (p < 0.01), and improved quality of life (p < 0.05); 3% of patients expressed a preference for the low-FODMAP diet, 11% for the gluten-free and 86% for the balanced diet (p < 0.01). The balanced diet improves QoL and VAS pain, provides an adequate quantity of FODMAPs and is more appreciated by patients. For these reasons, the balanced diet could be recommended to patients with irritable bowel syndrome
PENGGUNAAN NAMA DAERAH SEBAGAI TANDA PEMBEDA DALAM SUATU PRODUK
No full textSuatu tanda yang menjadi milik umum tidak dapat didaftarkan/digunakan sebagai merek suatu produk. Seperti yang digunakan oleh sebuah perusahaan yang menggunakan nama daerah sebagai merek produk kopi yang diberi nama “Kopi Sumba”. Dalam Pasal 20 Undang-Undang Nomor 20 Tahun 2016 tentang Merek dan Indikasi Geografis memuat unsur-unsur yang tidak dapat didaftarkan sebagai merek. Tanda milik umum tidak dapat didaftarkan sebagai merek oleh karena tanda milik umum merupakan suatu tanda yang merepresentasikan khalayak banyak dan secara otomatis tanda tersebut tidak dapat dikuasai secara individual. Tetapi tanda milik umum dapat diterima pendaftarannya melalui rezim indikasi geografis. Menurut penulis seharusnya tanda-tanda yang sudah diketahui menjadi milik umum untuk tidak dijadikan sebagai merek suatu produk oleh karena bertentangan dengan prinsip dalam hukum merek dan indikasi geografis.
A sign that has become a public property cannot be registered as a trademark. This article discusses a case in which the name of “Kopi Sumba” is used as a coffee brand product deriving the name of a region ‘Sumba’ by a company. Accordance with Article 20 of Law Number 20 of 2016 concerning Trademarks and Geographical Indications, certain categories cannot be registered as trademarks. One of them is signs of public property, which cannot be registered as trademarks because the sign of public property is a sign representing the public, so it cannot be owned by an individual. In this article, the author argues that public signs should not be used as a trademark of a product because it is against the principles in trademark law and geographical indications

KOMPARASI TANDA KEAGAMAAN DALAM FILM AJARI AKU ISLAM BERDASARKAN PANDANGAN SEMIOTIKA PEIRCE
No full textABSTRACT
Indonesia as a compound country has a lot of differences of culture especially in the matter of beliefs. This phenomenon may occur some conflicts including interfaith love prohibition. Ajari Aku Islam has been represented a conflict of interfaith love prohibition in the case between Islam and Confucius. In order to compare the differences of Islam and Confucius, the author employs Charles Sanders Peirce communication semiotic theory. The comparison of these two religion will be begun by marking the culture and religion signs that has been shown in the movie Ajari Aku Islam. The form of the data is verbal signs and visual signs. Then, the signs will be divided into three categories consist of icon, symbol, and index. Lastly, the divided signs will be analyzed with Peirce’s semiotic triadic process. The analyses have found some differences between Islam and Confucius especially in term of the place of praying, the tools used in praying, and the way of praying. Besides, the author also found some culture differences consists of the way of dressing and the way of speaking.
Keywords: Islam, Confucius, Semiotic, Signs
ABSTRAK
Indonesia sebagai negara majemuk memiliki begitu banyak perbedaan budaya khususnya pada masalah kepercayaan. Fenomena ini mampu memunculkan konflik-konflik termasuk larangan cinta beda agama. Film Ajari Aku Islam telah menggambarkan sebuah konflik cinta beda agama yakni antara agama Konghucu dan Islam. Dalam membandingkan perbedaan antara agama Islam dan Konghucu, penulis menggunakan teori semiotika komunikasi Charles Sanders Peirce. Analisis perbandingan antara agama Islam dan Konghucu akan dimulai dengan menandai tanda-tanda keagamaan dan kebudayaan yang diperlihatkan dalam film Ajari Aku Islam. Data yang digunakan merupakan tanda verbal dan tanda visual. Kemudian, tanda-tanda tersebut akan dibagi menjadi tiga kategori yakni ikon, simbol, dan indeks. Terakhir, tanda-tanda tersebut akan dianalisis menggunakan proses semiotika pada segitiga triadik Peirce. Hasil analisis menemukan beberapa perbedaan antara agama Islam dan Konghucu, khususnya pada beberapa elemen diantaranya seperti tempat ibadah, media peribadatan, dan cara beribadah. Selain itu, penulis juga menemukan beberapa kebudayaan yang berbeda seperti cara berpakaian dan cara berbicara.

Penggunaan Tanda Untuk Berdakwah Pada Akun Instagram Punk Muslim
No full textInstagram is a part of social media that is used to share photos and videos, both individually and in groups. With the existence of Instagram, this is utilized by the Muslim Punk community for preaching. Punk is one of the subcultures that exist in the world. As subcultural movements always voice their group's journey to society. As seen in the Muslim Punk community that synergizes and operates through the Instagram account @punkmuslim, with a goal that is no longer purely punk but punk that acknowledges their religious identity. (Islam). Instagram has become a platform for preaching for this community. The use of signs within this community has turned Instagram into a field for preaching, a space for discussion, and a place for creation for this Muslim punk community. We can see that punks, who are based on the principles of anti-establishment and rejection of submission, are actually active on social media and submit and adhere to the teachings of Islam. The purpose of this research is to interpret the signs used and played on the Instagram accounts of Muslim Punks. These signs are used by this community to preach to their followers who are not yet familiar with Islam. The method used by the author in this research is the visual analysis method. The elaboration of every existing visual form, which the author then relates to signs. This research uses observational studies on Instagram accounts. The results of this research are descriptions and interpretations of the signs used and played by the Muslim punk community for preaching.Instagram merupakan bagian dari media sosial yang difungsikan untuk berbagi foto dan video perorangan maupun kelompok.

Gli anelloni litici italiani. Nuovi dati a 40 anni dalla prima sintesi
No full textIl presente lavoro propone l’analisi aggiornata delle informazioni su di una tipologia di manufatti litici caratteristica dell’epoca neolitica: gli anelli-bracciale, anche conosciuti come “anelloni” in pietra levigata nella letteratura archeologica. I limiti che ci siamo imposti sono quelli del territorio italiano. Un recente lavoro di sintesi ha fornito un aggiornamento di tutti i rinvenimenti su suolo nazionale, fino ai più recenti (Ribero 2018). Una prima sistematizzazione di questi oggetti era già stata pubblicata da G. Tanda nel 1977. Tuttavia, nei quaranta anni trascorsi dalla pubblicazione di questo lavoro sono stati rinvenuti nuovi esemplari e sono stati raccolti numerosi dati relativi ai contesti; si è resa quindi inevitabile la necessità di aggiornare sia il catalogo dei rinvenimenti, sia di rivederne la cronologia ed il significato. L’obiettivo è quello di offrire al tema una prospettiva più approfondita, estesa e sistematica sulla base delle nuove conoscenze riguardo a questa peculiare classe di reperti litici. Possiamo ora dimostrare che questo particolare manufatto era inteso come gioiello ed aveva il compito di veicolare messaggi diversi all’interno della comunità. Per la loro esecuzione accurata e la preziosità dei materiali costituenti, è presumibile infatti che fossero un segno di distinzione sociale.ITALIAN STONE BRACELETS. NEW DATA 40 YEARS AFTER THE FIRST SUMMARY.This paper summarizes the results of a comprehensive analysis of a peculiar class of Neolithic artefacts: the polished stone bracelets, or disc-rings, as they are better known in the archaeological literature. Italian territorial boundaries are the limits we have recognised for our analysis. A complete list of the specimens discovered in Italy including the latest finds has been recently published (Ribero 2018), and this paper will offer an updated synthesis of the results. The first comprehensive work on this subject was carried out almost 40 years ago by G. Tanda, and published in 1977; however, in forty years, new specimens have been discovered and several new items with well dated contexts have been collected. Therefore, we felt necessary to offer an update synthesis of the finds of the Italian territory. Our aim is to give the topic a wider, comprehensive and systematic perspective. We can now prove that this particular stone artefact was intended as a jewel and it was used to communicate, to spread different messages within the Neolithic society. Given the accuracy of the manufacturing process and the rarity of the raw materials used, we can assume these artefacts were a sign of social distinction
Tanda WAQF dalam Al-Quran Al-Karim : analisis surah Al-Kahfi berdasarkan Rasm Uthmani / Ahmad Farid Fadhli Mustafa
No full textThis research is conducted in order to study and analyze the relationship between stops in reading in the Qur‟ān and signs in semantic knowledge. In this study, the author reveals the chronology of the publishing of the Qur‟ān by looking at the origin of it‟s writing through history. In this study, the author reviews places to stop reading the Qur‟ān by looking at it‟s use based in the views of the scholars, particularly in the field of Arabic, tajwid, history and others. Therefore the author uses the method of library research in this study, by extracting sentences containing stop signs of reading, in the Qur‟ān to be studied and analyzed. From the result of this study, the author found that there were 43 sentences that contained stop-signs from the Qur‟ān, out of 110 sentences in surah al-Kahf. The author also found that there were four stop-signs being used in reading the Qur‟ān. The overall result of the study, found that stop-signs used in reading the Qur‟ān had little to do with punctuation in common writing. It is seen that more attention was given to the continuation of the story without damaging the meaning in the sentence. Research like this is very important to be brought forward to the community so that they can understand the meaning of the Qur‟ān, exactly based on correct reading
Banks' capital decisions: the influence of the regulatory framework and corporate governance mechanisms in Europe (2006-2010)
No full textLa tesi esamina il tema del capital management nelle banche, con particolare riferimento all’impatto della regolamentazione e della corporate governance sulle decisioni in tema di patrimonializzazione ed esposizione al rischio. La letteratura evidenzia come l’attuale framework regolamentare possa produrre effetti indesiderati, inducendo le banche ad assumere un livello di rischio non coerente con il patrimonio disponibile; anche con riferimento alla corporate governance i contributi empirici evidenziano risultati contrastanti.
Partendo dai risultati di tale review, nella tesi si analizza il comportamento di un vasto campione di banche europee tra il 2006 e il 2010, tenendo conto delle variabili principali che determinano le scelte sul livello di patrimonializzazione e di rischio.
In particolare, nel primo capitolo si valuta l’impatto della pressione regolamentare sulle variazioni di capital ratio ed esposizione al rischio in un vasto campione di banche europee. I risultati suggeriscono che il comportamento delle banche sembra dipendere dalla definizione di patrimonio utilizzata, ossia dalla qualità degli strumenti ricompresi nei coefficienti di solvibilità. Il secondo capitolo si concentra su un campione di grandi banche europee: tale analisi consente di rilevare come la regolamentazione e i meccanismi di corporate governance costituiscano fattori rilevanti e complementari nel determinare alla relazione tra patrimonializzazione e rischio.This thesis examines capital management in banks, with special reference to the impact of regulation and corporate governance on the decisions on capital and risk exposure. Past literature highlights how the present regulatory framework might produce unwanted effects, inducing banks to take a level of risks not consistent with their capital base; also with reference to corporate governance, past empirical contributions present controversial results. On the basis of the review of the literature, this study analyses the behaviour of a wide sample of European banks between 2006 and 2010, taking into consideration the main variables that influence the decisions on capital and risk. In particular, the first chapter evaluates the impact of regulatory pressure on changes in capital ratio and risk for a wide sample of European banks. Results suggest that banks behaviour depends on the capital ratio considered, i.e. on the quality of the instruments included in the capital base. The second chapter focuses on a sample of large European banks: such analysis suggests that regulation and corporate governance mechanisms are crucial and act complementarily in determining the relationship between capital and risk
