THE CONCEPT OF YAJNA IN VARAHA PURANA

<p class="p2">Yajna is a sacrifice made by every human being with a sincere sense. Yajna has an important influence in living everyday life. In practice, yajna is not only measured by material things, but yajna can also be offered in a non-material or spiritual form. The concept of yajna can not only be seen and learned from the implementation of the ceremony, but the concept of yajna also contained in many Hindu sacred literature such as Varaha Purana. Varaha Purana is a sacred text that tells about the greatness of Lord Vishnu. In this text Lord Vishnu is incarnated in the form of a wild boar. Varaha purana has a connection with Varaha Yajna's conception, which yajna here has dynamic power in the creation of the cosmos. While varaha is the power that lifts the earth from destruction and destruction. The concept of yajna is widely discussed in this Purana. Various types of yajna are explained in this purana such as worshiping Lord Vishnu, giving love to parents, sharing alms with poor people, carrying out ceremonies to ancestors, and doing Dana Punia (good and holy gift). Yajna itself has a very big impact and influence on social life in society, religius life on each individual or group and also the impact of harmony. The method used in this research is descriptive method that will systematically describe the concept of yajna in Varaha Purana.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>

COLOR NOMENCLATURES IN BALINESE LANGUAGE WITHIN LINGUISTIC ANTHROPOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE

<p class="p2">Balinese language has some unique color nomenclatures. How those colors are categorized into different nomenclatures becomes the first concern of this study. Then, why those nomenclatures are linguistically unique and exist culturally in different ways is the second question. NSM (Natural Semantic Metalanguage) is used both in theory and method. Since some Balinese terms are inexplicable through semantic primes of the NSM, linguistic relativity theory is used to dig descriptive meanings and concepts of those color nomenclatures in Balinese cultural linguistic realm. The study finds that there are four color nomenclatures in Balinese language, and those nomenclatures are different mainly because of religious and historical backgrounds.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>

UTILIZATION OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AS A LEGAL EDUCATION MEDIA CONSUMER PROTECTION

<span class="fontstyle0">Globalization is currently running in cyberspace, connecting all digital communities. All aspects of human life are influenced by internet information technology, in this case the economic conditions provide very significant changes. Online stores or what we often call e-commerce is a form of change brought about by the internet in terms of shopping innovation by providing various conveniences in the transaction process. Seeing the phenomenon of the rapid development of electronic<br />transactions in Indonesian society, the problem in this research is how to use information technology as a media for consumer protection law education. The research method applied in this study is a normative legal research method. The research is said to be juridical normative because it intends to study and analyze the substance of the legislation on the subject matter or legal issue in its consistency with existing legal principles. The type of research used in this writing is doctrinal research.Aims to obtain a systematic explanation of the rule of law. Thus, all benefits to the community will depend on the provisions of the law itself. The element of education then becomes the spearhead to instill attitudes and habits of obedience to existing rules. If all human interests can be fulfilled without disputes or conflicts, then everything that happens regularly will not be questioned about the concept of justice<br />which focuses on what is entitled or who is at fault if someone is harmed by another person. The first indicator is an understanding of the law, a person knows about certain behaviors that have been regulated by law.</span>

FOREIGN INVESTMENT IN MONOPOLY PRACTICES IN THE MINING SECTOR

<span class="fontstyle0">In Indonesia, Joint Venture is regulated in Law No. 25 of 2007 on<br />Investment. Joint Venture itself is a form of alliance that emphasizes more on cooperation and its temporary nature. Before the occurrence of Joint Venture in the establishment of the company conducted a Joint Venture agreement, it contains the agreement of both parties. Law No. 5 of 1999 concerning Prohibition of Monopoly Practices and Unfair Business Competition regulates the prohibition of a company in carrying out its business activities, must not do 3 things, namely: make a prohibited<br />agreement, become the dominant position, and conduct prohibited activities. On the contrary, Law No. 40 of 2007 on Limited Liability Companies and also Law No. 25 of 2007 on Investment does not regulate the matter. Therefore the company does it by joint venture. The company's growth in the mining sector is growing very rapidly. To attract investors, the government is expanding in the mining sector. Certainly in this case the practice of monopoly in a company is very likely to occur as mining sector companies increase. The research method used by the author is normative juridical, i.e. research whose reference material uses the norms contained in the laws and regulations. The results showed that companies have implications for monopoly practices, of course a company, especially the mining sector, should also consider the principle of fairness.</span>

Lining Property Characterizations for an Improved Integration Cascade

<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">New technologies, such as electrified powertrain and autonomous driving solutions, are transforming the automotive industry in such a way that achieving vehicle level performance requirements demands an increasingly intensive and detailed system integration exercise. Validation of the braking system, critical to any vehicle level project, must evolve so that the ever-increasing requirements cascade is answered in a way that ensures the highest level of safety and performance as the industry moves toward a new frontier of features. To support this evolution of integration methodology, critical-to-performance components, such as brake pads, must undergo a transformation in how performance metrics are characterized, communicated, and documented. It is essential that the physical properties of brake pads are measured accurately with standardized procedures and represent a set of characteristics that directly relate to system (brake caliper) interaction, which results in a robust cascade of requirements. Recommendations are listed below for some key brake pad topics which will be discussed in detail within this paper.<ol class="list nostyle"><li class="list-item"><span class="li-label">1</span><div class="htmlview paragraph">Standardization for Pad Assembly Compressibility Gage Repeatability and Reproducibility (RandR)</div></li><li class="list-item"><span class="li-label">2</span><div class="htmlview paragraph">Industry-wide discrepancies of process capability requirements for short term & long-term for Pad Assembly Compressibility</div></li><li class="list-item"><span class="li-label">3</span><div class="htmlview paragraph">Is it correct to combine geometric effects & material modulus into a singular deflection test?</div></li><li class="list-item"><span class="li-label">4</span><div class="htmlview paragraph">Utilizing additional measurements and analysis opportunities for improved understanding to product performance</div></li></ol></div></div>

A Telematics Enabled Analytics Approach for Determining Tractor Usage

<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">Tractor lease is an attractive proposition for farmers with small land holdings in India as initial investment required for purchasing a tractor is high [<span class="xref">1</span>]. The tractor is wet leased on a daily basis with the driver paid by the hour. Thus, there is a natural tendency by the driver to prolong the operation by taking frequent breaks adding to the overall input cost for the marginal farmer. Therefore, there is need to monitor these operations in real-time to ensure maximum utilization of tractors. The advent of connected and data driven technologies have positively disrupted several sectors including agriculture [<span class="xref">2</span>]. Vehicular and GPS (Global Positioning System) data from connected tractors powered by telematic devices can be effectively used for monitoring tractor’s health and position in real time using a mobile application. Moving beyond real-time monitoring, data obtained from connected tractors allow the computation of total field area and on-road distance covered during the day. These metrics enable usage-based pricing to pay for both driver’s labour and tractor rental thereby providing significant cost savings to farmers. The computation of field area and on-road distance covered is a challenging problem as it requires classification of geolocation data into field work and on-road travel points without the use of sophisticated sensors or user inputs. This work presents a telematics enabled analytics approach for monitoring tractor usage. The analytics module comprises of an algorithm that uses a clustering technique taking key vehicle parameters along with GPS data for determining the usage pattern. A polygon-based approach for area calculation is adopted that works for fields with irregular shapes. A novel feature to auto detect & deduce area of large untilled area patches enclosed within the field is also developed. The paper also highlights methods developed to reduce misclassification of GPS points and estimate usage during network connectivity issues.</div></div>

Particle Matter Index and Fuel Wall-wetting Relations on Stochastic Pre-ignition

<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">This work explores the effect of the particle matter index (PMI) and aromatic content on fuel wall impingement associated with stochastic pre-ignition (SPI). Statically significant measurements of SPI rates are directly coupled with laser induced florescence (LIF) measurements of fuel dilution from spray-linear impingement. Literature suggests that PMI is could be correlated with the number of SPI events, but the root cause(s) of PMI and SPI are directly causational or are a predicator of SPI. Three fuels have been used in this study with 3 different PMI and two different aromatic contents. The fuels are direct injected at two different injection timings, an earlier injection timing which initially targets the piston crown, 310°CA bTDC, and a later injection timing that the liner, 220°CA bTDC start of injection timings (SOI) respectively. The earlier 310 SOI injection increases soot, whereas the later 220°CA SOI targets the liner and increases wall-wetting. The findings of this work highlight that the SPI activity has a weak correlation with the soot promoted by the combustion process and increased PMI. However, SPI activity shows a strong dependency with high levels of oil dilution and aromatic content, suggesting that PMI might be an indicator of fuel chemistry conducive to SPI and the soot from increased PMI fuels is not a strong source of SPI relative to fuel wall wetting.<span class="xref"><sup>1</sup></span></div></div>

Fuel Stratification Effects on Gasoline Compression Ignition with a Regular-Grade Gasoline on a Single-Cylinder Medium-Duty Diesel Engine at Low Load

<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">Prior research studies have investigated a wide variety of gasoline compression ignition (GCI) injection strategies and the resulting fuel stratification levels to maintain control over the combustion phasing, duration, and heat release rate. Previous GCI research at the US Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory has shown that for a combustion mode with a low degree of fuel stratification, called “partial fuel stratification” (PFS), gasoline range fuels with anti-knock index values in the range of regular-grade gasoline (~87 anti-knock index or higher) provides very little controllability over the timing of combustion without significant boost pressures. On the contrary, heavy fuel stratification (HFS) provides control over combustion phasing but has challenges achieving low temperature combustion operation, which has the benefits of low NO<sub>X</sub> and soot emissions, because of the air handling burdens associated with the required high exhaust gas recirculation rates. This work investigates HFS and PFS combustion, efficiency, and emissions performance on a single-cylinder, medium-duty engine with a regular-grade gasoline (91 research octane number) at 1,200 rpm, 4.3 bar, and 3.0 nominal gross indicated mean effective pressure operating points with boost levels similar to those in a medium-duty diesel application. Authority of combustion phasing with main injection timing sweeps for HFS and second injection timing sweeps and fuel split sweeps for PFS are shown. In addition, this work is discussed in the context of previous findings with a light-duty diesel platform, and next steps and future direction for this work are presented<span class="xref"><sup>1</sup></span>. </div></div>

EXTRACTION, CHARACTERIZATION AND APPLICATION OF CHITOSAN DERIVED FROM MAGGOT (BLACK SOLDIER FLY) WASTE AS EDIBLE COATING FOR RED GRAPES (Vitis vinifera)

<p class="Abstrak"><span class="tlid-translation"><span lang="EN-GB">Black Soldier Fly (BSF) farming showed an increasing trend in the past 5 years. The production process generates a leftover, that is the exuviae which are still untapped. BSF exuviae contain chitin and chitosan which can be utilized in various fields, one of which is fruit preservatives. Grapes (<em>Vitis vinifera</em>) is known to have many benefits and has a content of vitamins A, B, C, and E but it has a short shelf life. The purpose of this study was to characterize chitosan from BSF exuviae and choose the best edible coating method to be applied to grapes to prolong the grape’s storage time. Characterization includes physical condition, percent solubility, degree of deacetylation, and yield of the chitosan. Then, edible coating tests were carried out with 2% acetic acid solvent followed by two different methods, namely dyeing method with 5, 10 and, 15 minutes immersion time and spray method with a chitosan solution concentration of 0,5%, 1%, 1,5%, 2 %, and 2,5%. The results showed that chitosan extracted from BSF exuviae produced a physical appearance in the form of white brown powder with 55% solubility and a degree of deacetylation of 91,88%. The chitin yield is 16,2%, followed by the chitosan yield of 4,8%. The best edible coating method which can maintain the physical appearance of grapes and inhibiting fruit decayed was obtained by dipping method at a concentration of 2,5% for 10 minutes. Based on the overall observations, however, the results obtained from the dip and spray method were not significantly different.</span></span></p>

"So you're saying": the interrogation of Jordan Peterson

<p class="p1">In this article, I analyse the infamous Cathy Newman interview with Jordan Peterson on the 16th of January 2018 and subsequent viewer comments on Channel 4's YouTube channel. My first hypothesis is that Newman's frequent attribution of statements to Peterson using the now notorious "so you are saying" gambit (YSG) is what triggered outrage among Peterson's followers, which, in turn, generated media interest. My second hypothesis is that the interview is best understood as a series of Face threats by Newman on Peterson using the YSG. To ascertain if my hypotheses are true, I performed corpus linguistic analyses on the interview and comments to provide objective descriptions of both.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Episodes in which the YSG were used were identified and analysed using Goffman's (1967) Facework approach.
