    "To my brothers in the west . . .": A thematic analysis of videos produced by the Islamic State’s al-Hayat Media Center

    No full text
    This study examines videos produced by the al-Hayat Media Center, a branch of the Islamic State’s (IS) larger media campaign aimed more specifically at Western audiences. Using a thematic analysis approach, recurring themes of 10 al-Hayat videos were identified with conclusions made regarding the specificities of the message and the target audience. It was found that al-Hayat videos cater to potential Western recruits and sympathizers by portraying life in the IS as spiritually and existentially fulfilling, while simultaneously decrying the West as secular, immoral, and criminal. By utilizing well-produced propaganda videos that tap into the dissatisfactions of Western Muslims, al-Hayat was shown to deliver a sophisticated and legitimate message that may play a role in the larger radicalization process.Peer reviewedFinal article publishedIslamic Stateal-Hayat Media Centerpropagandaradicalizatio

    The phenomenon of lumpang as one of the points of view in the idea of culture as the basis for people's actions shows that lumpang is not just a symbol that is only literally accentuated. Instead, what appears is a symbol of the practice of community social values. Symbols in sociology are not merely things that have no life in their relationships. The approach used is qualitative through the depth of interview (interpretative understanding). The analysis used is the analysis model from Miles and Hubermen, which rotates like a cycle, namely data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusion. The result showed that lumpang is the basis for community economic knowledge and lumpang is a culture that remains as the subject. The conclusion of this research is that lumpang as a subject in a homogeneous society is the subject is good manners, the subject is awareness to respect others, the subject is awareness to protect, and the subject is submission. The four things symbolized by lumpang are important links in the way people understand nature. There is space to use without having to eliminate traces of nature. This is a subject that realizes not the given subject

    The aim of this work is to relate the cutting edge quality parameters (responses) namely: upper kerf, lower kerf, ratio of the upper kerf to lower kerf and cut edge roughness to the process parameters considered in this research and to find out the optimal cutting conditions. The process factors implemented in this research are: laser power, cutting speed and focal point position. Design of experiment (DoE) was used by implementing Box-Behnken design to achieve better cut qualities within existing resources. Mathematical models were developed to establish the relationship between the process parameters and the edge quality parameters. Also, the effects of process parameters on each response were determine. Then, a numerical optimization was performed to find out the optimal process setting at which the quality features are at their desired values. The effect of each factor on the responses was established and the optimal cutting conditions were found

    Wind tunnel study of wind farms with alternating 2- and 3-bladed wind turbines

    Full text link
    With offshore wind farms gaining substantial momentum in recent years, 2-bladed turbines (2BT) are increasingly becoming a viable alternative to 3-bladed counterparts (3BT). In this wind tunnel study, model wind farms with alternating rows of 3BT and 2BT were explored for potential benefits associated with enhanced momentum available within the arrays and reduced costs due to the reduction of blades. Two arrays of aligned turbines with streamwise separation of five and ten rotor diameter d (Sx = Δx/d =5 and 10) were operated in a turbulent boundary layer flow. They shared the same transverse turbine spacing of Sy = Δy/d =2.5. High-resolution velocity measurements were made with hotwire anemometry at various locations in the wake and the power output of turbines was measured simultaneously. Comparison of the flow between an array with only 3BT and that with alternating 2BT and 3BT shows enhanced mean velocity and reduced turbulence levels for the latter in Sx = 5 case. The pre-multiplied spectra of the flow at selected locations within the wind farm suggest that large energetic structures at top-tip and hub height are dampened by 2BT, with the potential to reduce turbulent loading on downwind turbines. Although the reduced mixing at top tip height behind 2BT causes the momentum recovery rate to diminish, the available momentum at downstream turbine is still higher than corresponding 3BT in the Sx = 5 case. Overall performance gain from marginally enhanced power statistics of 3BT operating in the wake of 2BT is offset by the diminished performance of 2BT inside the farm, resulting in comparable performance between the two configurations.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2019-12-01The student, Imran Hayat, accepted the attached license on 2017-12-08 at 16:26.The student, Imran Hayat, submitted this Thesis for approval on 2017-12-08 at 16:59.This Thesis was approved for publication on 2017-12-11 at 16:23.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #11930 on 2018-03-13 at 10:38:04Made available in DSpace on 2018-03-13T17:35:53Z (GMT).
