No full textThe high mobility of the people and traffic due to the existence of a railroad crossing on the Mranggen road section is the main factor for the high congestion that exists on this section. The government's efforts through the Central Java Office of Public Works and Human Settlements to build the Ganefo Mranggen KM 14 Fly Over is an alternative solution to tackling the high traffic jams on this section. Therefore, researchers will identify how the performance of the Mranggen road section after the construction of the Fly Over. After conducting research, it was found that the busiest traffic was on Wednesday at 16.00-16.15 with a total flow value of 883.3 pcu/hour. The degree of saturation is 0.962 0.75, which exceeds the requirements of the 1997 MKJI guidelines. If the value of the degree of saturation 0.75 requires improvement, then the degree of saturation is included in the category E service level with conditions of very high traffic density and low volume. The highest side resistance value on this section is 906.8 where the time interval is 06.00-09.00 WIB with the VH Resistance Class (906.8 900) which means commercial area, with roadside market activity. So that alternative solutions can be found using SWOT calculations where it is known that the segment is in a position between the Weakness and Opportunity axes, namely in quadrant 4. This means that the Ganefo Mranggen Fly Over segment is advised to change the strategy from internal Weaknesses So that the strategy is changed to Opportunity ( external Opportunity) in order to achieve good traffic performance on the Ganefo Mranggen Km 14 Fly Over section

Gödel, Leibniz and "Russell's mathematical logic"
No full textInternational audienceThis paper presents an overview of what is known about Kurt Gödel's reading Leibniz. The only published work in which Gödel explicitly mentions Leibniz's work is "Russell's mathematical logic" edited in 1944 by Schilpp for the Library of Living Philosophers. The author presents the available evidence (including the published and unpublished material of the Gödel archives and the transcriptions of Gödel's conversations with Hao Wang in 1970) which prove the deep influence of Leibniz on Gödel philosophical reflections and in his scientific work. The author shows how , on the basis of the unpublished material, the intricate structure of Gödel's paper on Russell reveals a every clear and Leibnizian conception of the nature of logic and of the problems to be solved in order to achieve, in modern terms, Leibniz's program of the Characteristica
The association between life course socioeconomic position and life satisfaction in different welfare states:European comparative study of individuals in early old age
No full textBACKGROUND: whether socioeconomic position over the life course influences the wellbeing of older people similarly in different societies is not known.OBJECTIVE: to investigate the magnitude of socioeconomic inequalities in life satisfaction among individuals in early old age and the influence of the welfare state regime on the associations. Design: comparative study using data from Wave 2 and SHARELIFE, the retrospective Wave of the Survey of Health, Ageing, and Retirement in Europe (SHARE), collected during 2006-07 and 2008-09, respectively.SETTING: thirteen European countries representing four welfare regimes (Southern, Scandinavian, Post-communist and Bismarckian).SUBJECTS: a total of 17,697 individuals aged 50-75 years.METHODS: slope indices of inequality (SIIs) were calculated for the association between life course socioeconomic position (measured by the number of books in childhood, education level and current wealth) and life satisfaction. Single level linear regression models stratified by welfare regime and multilevel regression models, containing interaction terms between socioeconomic position and welfare regime type, were calculated.RESULTS: socioeconomic inequalities in life satisfaction were present in all welfare regimes. Educational inequalities in life satisfaction were narrowest in Scandinavian and Bismarckian regimes among both genders. Post-communist and Southern countries experienced both lower life satisfaction and larger socioeconomic inequalities in life satisfaction, using most measures of socioeconomic position. Current wealth was associated with large inequalities in life satisfaction across all regimes.CONCLUSIONS: Scandinavian and Bismarckian countries exhibited narrower socioeconomic inequalities in life satisfaction. This suggests that more generous welfare states help to produce a more equitable distribution of wellbeing among older people.</p
The Twilight of Polish Art Galleries in 20th-century London
No full textThe article foreshadows a bigger publication, now in preparation, devoted to history of exhibitions organized by Polish art galleries in London after World War II. So far, the knowledge of the range of importance of Polish exhibiting institutions and their role in promoting both artists and the newest trends in European art in the second half of the 20th century is only fragmentary. The author of the article presents a history of three Polish galleries: Drian Gallery, Centaur Gallery and Grabowski Gallery and an outline of their activities. Among these three, the one that functioned longest, as it was 43 years (from 1957 to 2000), is Drian Gallery, owned by Halima Nałęcz. One year before, in 1999, the official closing of Centaur Gallery took place, the place which was managed by Dinah and Jan Wieliczko. The gallery started its activities in London in 1960, working incessantly for almost 40 years. The shortest life, 16 years, had Grabowski Gallery, created in 1959 by Mateusz Bronisław Grabowski, a pharmacist by education, and closed in 1975. Each of these galleries had its own individual profile, its own key for selecting artist for exhibition and promotion, and its own ways to assure their functioning on the difficult London art market. Apart from the activities of these institutions, an important role in the history of Polish presence on the London cultural scene was played by organizations belonging to a different category i.e. galleries-studios. These were the following: Feliks Topolski Memoir of Century, open to visitors once every three months and a gallery of works by Marian Bohusz-Szyszko, on a permanent exhibition in the buildings of St. Christopher's Hospice in London-Sydenham. Apart from that, Polish Social and Cultural Association in London (POSK) is a host to a collection of works by Polish artists, contemporary and former members of the Association of Polish Artists in Great Britain. However, this is just an exhibition, not a gallery, which partly illustrates the output of Polish painters – mostly graduates of the School of Easel Painting at the Polish University Abroad. Being brought to attention many times, e.g. at the I Congress for Polish Culture on Emigration in 1970, the appeal to attempt a through historical analysis and an evaluation of the achievements of Polish galleries in their exhibiting and promotional work in the second half of the 20th century in London is a vital task. Together with establishing its importance in the context of Polish history of art and Polish cultural heritage both in Poland and on emigration this task seems very urgent, if it is not a belated one. It may seem late in the light of `passing away' of patrons, art lovers, gallery owners and artists of the pre-war generation themselves, which happens more and more often. The end of the 20th century provides another incentive to this work establishing time borders both in the context of Polish history of art and in the history of a remarkable phenomenon of `Polish' London in the second half of the 20th century
CGILS: Results from the first phase of an international project to understand the physical mechanisms of low cloud feedbacks in single column models
No full textCGILS—the CFMIP-GASS Intercomparison of Large Eddy Models (LESs) and single column models (SCMs)—investigates the mechanisms of cloud feedback in SCMs and LESs under idealized climate change perturbation. This paper describes the CGILS results from 15 SCMs and 8 LES models. Three cloud regimes over the subtropical oceans are studied: shallow cumulus, cumulus under stratocumulus, and well-mixed coastal stratus/stratocumulus. In the stratocumulus and coastal stratus regimes, SCMs without activated shallow convection generally simulated negative cloud feedbacks, while models with active shallow convection generally simulated positive cloud feedbacks. In the shallow cumulus alone regime, this relationship is less clear, likely due to the changes in cloud depth, lateral mixing, and precipitation or a combination of them. The majority of LES models simulated negative cloud feedback in the well-mixed coastal stratus/stratocumulus regime, and positive feedback in the shallow cumulus and stratocumulus regime. A general framework is provided to interpret SCM results: in a warmer climate, the moistening rate of the cloudy layer associated with the surface-based turbulence parameterization is enhanced; together with weaker large-scale subsidence, it causes negative cloud feedback. In contrast, in the warmer climate, the drying rate associated with the shallow convection scheme is enhanced. This causes positive cloud feedback. These mechanisms are summarized as the “NESTS” negative cloud feedback and the “SCOPE” positive cloud feedback (Negative feedback from Surface Turbulence under weaker Subsidence—Shallow Convection PositivE feedback) with the net cloud feedback depending on how the two opposing effects counteract each other. The LES results are consistent with these interpretations.Geoscience & Remote SensingCivil Engineering and Geoscience
