Abstract:
An ordinary ship and its cargo can tell the story of far-flung global markets, human voyaging, and early industrialization in China that supplied exports to the world. Sometime after 825 CE an Arab dhow set sail from the port of Guangzhou in coastal south China, having unloaded its goods from the Near East, and reloaded with some estimated 70,000 ceramics and other items, on its return voyage to the Abbasid empire. Taking the route that has been called “the maritime silk road,” this hand-sewn ship made of planks fastened with coconut fiber (without any nails) seems to have decided to offload some cargo first in maritime Southeast Asia, perhaps intending to pick up a secondary cargo of spices, resins, and aromatics for which the Indonesian islands were famed. The dhow sank near the island of Belitung, at a reef called Batu Hitam (“Black Rock”). Fifty-five thousand ceramic wares, along with gold and silver ornaments, ingots, mirrors, ewers, vases, jars, cups, incense burners, boxes, flasks, bottles, graters, and the like—and two objects that may have been children’s toys, and a re-soldered gold bracelet sized for a woman’s wrist—were excavated intact in 1998, and are housed at the Asian Civilisations Museum in Singapore. This ninth-century dhow is the only ship of its kind ever recovered, though hand-sewn ships that plied the Indian Ocean are described in travel accounts from as early as the first-century CE. The dhow is a remarkable example of the global ships carrying people, goods, ideas, religion, and culture, which knit the world into relationship along transoceanic routes. Its vast trove of ceramics is the earliest physical evidence attesting the industrial production of ceramics in China for export to foreign markets as early as the Tang Dynasty (618–907). Designs painted on the great majority of the ceramic wares were favored in the export market, not in China. Part of the trove includes prototypes of blue-and-white ceramics for which China would become famous 400 years later: ceramic experiments that feature Iraqi designs attesting global interrelationships in art and the exchange of ideas. The crews of ships such as this one were multiracial, multireligious, and assembled from everywhere: The cargo, knowledges, and stories these diverse, anonymous voyagers helped to transfer across the world transform our understanding of scale, time, and globalism.

Abstract:
Many of the job processes being performed today in ship construction, repair and recycling yards do not differ significantly from those same processes as performed fifty years ago. The complexity of vessels may have increased dramatically in the past fifty years but many of the job processes have not kept pace with changes in tech-nology. Due in part to the mismatch of technology between work processes and product design, researchers at the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), in collaboration with the National Shipbuilding Research Program Advanced Shipbuilding Enterprise (NSRP ASE) and the Maritime Advisory Committee for Occupational Safety and Health (MACOSH), have conducted a series of ergonomic analyses of work processes at a number of domestic shipyards. These analyses have identified specific work processes within the shipyards that have resulted in numerous, severe, or costly musculoskeletal injuries to the shipyard work-force. The mitigation of the occupational risk factors associated with these processes was the focus of targeted ergonomic interventions.

Abstract:
Loading and unloading activities generate nearly fifty per cent of the total cost in port. The loading and unloading process of the container at the port is considered as a complex process since it involves several interrelated components, such as ships, cranes, and trucks. The uncertainty of these component activities might impact the loading and unloading time and cost. Agent-based modelling and simulation (ABMS) approach is a method for analyzing and modelling a complex system. This study aims to simulate the unloading process to determine a strategy to reduces unloading process time in the largest port in Indonesian using ABMS approach. The results show that the agent-based simulation approach is feasible to be applied in port activities. This approach can assist decision-makers in predicting the number of facilities that must be used to minimize processing time.

Abstract:
In a voyage beginning 24 July in Ulsan, South Korea, and ending i n St Petersburg, Russia, on 21 September 1992, the icebreaker Kapitan Khlebnikov successfully completed an unassisted transit of the Northwest Passage, from Bering Strait to the North Atlantic Ocean. The ship was chartered jointly by Polar Schiffahrts-Consulting, Hamburg, Germany; Blyth and Company Travel, Toronto, Ontario, Canada; and D.G. Wells Marine Ltd, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. It was marketed for tourists, some of whom traveled the entire distance of 14,120 nautical miles [26,150 km]. Khlebnikov was the fifty-third vessel to complete the Northwest Passage since Roald Amundsen first accomplished it in 1906 (Pullen and Swithinbank 1991, and confirmed by the office of Coast Guard Northern, Ottawa, Canada).

Abstract:
Hudson-70 was the last big multidisciplinary global oceanographic expedition. Organized by the Bedford Institute of Oceanography (BIO), based in Nova Scotia, this epic eleven-month voyage lasted from November 1969 to October 1970, involved 128 scientists from five countries, and traversed five oceans. Enroute, the CSS Hudson steamed 56,000 nautical miles and became the first ship to circumnavigate the Americas. A huge amount of new oceanographic information in all disciplines was collected in environments ranging from tropical to polar. Major highlights are summarized. General overviews of the expedition were published in three books and the results of individual studies were reported in over 50 scientific publications. Hudson-70 was a major Canadian oceanographic accomplishment, truly worthy of celebrating fifty years later.

Abstract:
The purpose of the study was to investigate if vibration-induced white finger may be a reversible symptom after cessation of vibration exposure. Fifty-nine welders, previously employed by a ship building company and who had shown various levels of vibration-induced vasospastic symptoms in the hand were interviewed 5 to 6 years after closure of the company. Out of the 43 patients exposed to no or insignificant vibration subsequently, 28 claimed improvement, 11 claimed unchanged problems and four complained of worse problems. Twelve of these patients had the cold provocation test repeated at follow up. One patient showed the same result as 5 years earlier, six showed improvement and five showed much improvement. Of 16 patients with continued vibration exposure none showed subjective improvement, nine claimed unchanged problems while seven patients were worse. It is concluded that vibration-induced white finger is not a progressive condition following cessation of exposure to vibration. On the contrary it may be static or even reversible to some extent.

Abstract:
Antiphon, in his fifth oration, relates that c. 422–413 B.C. Euxitheos, a young Mytilenean, and Herodes, probably an Athenian cleruch in Mytilene, embarked together on a ship bound from Mytilene for Ainos in Thrace. Shortly after they left port, a storm forced them to put into an unnamed harbour in Methymnian territory. The two men left their uncovered ship to take shelter in a covered one; whether others from their own ship went with them is not indicated. During the night, a drinking party ensued. Herodes, after heavy drinking, left the covered ship and disappeared; he could not be found in the morning, nor even after two days of searching. When the weather cleared, the search was abandoned, and all ships in the port resumed their voyages. On Euxitheos' return to Mytilene, a charge of murder was brought against him by Herodes' relatives, who tried him in Athens. Antiphon's fifth oration is his final defence; we do not know whether the speech was successful.

Abstract:
AbstractThis article deals with Malay letters and documents from the archives of the Dutch East India Company (Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie—VOC), dating to the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The collection of “golden” Malay letters, which belonged to the governor- general of the VOC in Java (1704–1709) Joan van Hoorn, made a long voyage on the ship Sandenburg from Batavia to Cape Town and Amsterdam in 1710. Its cultural and historical value was firstly estimated by the outstanding Russian scholar and antiquarian N. P. Likhachev, who purchased it for the Paleographical Museum in Petrograd (St. Petersburg) in 1910. The pages of the fifty-seven diplomatic letters cover one of the most controversial periods of VOC history on the Archipelago, 1683 to 1710, the establishment of its relationships with local nobility and states. The collection represents the original letters of the sultans of Palembang, Gowa, Buton, Bone, Tallo, Banten, and Cirebon, and of prominent historical figures of Malay states as well as the famous Indian merchant from Surat, Abdul Ghafur. They are written in Malay (in Arabic graphic: Jawi and Pegon), Arabic, Javanese (in two scripts: Pegon and Carakan), Dutch, Spanish, Persian, and Chinese. Their investigation will contribute to the academic scholarship on the famous records, reconstructing the history of the Dutch East India Company (VOC) on the Malay Archipelago, and on the peculiarities of Malay letter writing in different languages, scripts, and regions.

Abstract:
Abstract This video shows an urgent microsurgical embolectomy of the inferior division of the left middle cerebral artery in a patient treated by intravenous thrombolysis (IVT). Patient was eligible for endovascular mechanical thrombectomy1; however, the interventional radiologist was not comfortable performing the procedure given prior unsuccessful attempts to remove a calcified cerebral embolus.2 A 75-yr-old female presented with an acute ischemic stroke with isolated aphasia (NIHSS 9). Using the drip-and-ship concept, IVT (0.9 mg/kg rt-PA) was administered in a regional hospital. Fifty-five minutes after a complete recovery following IVT, multiple transient ischemic attacks of aphasia were observed. While the patient was a candidate for mechanical thrombectomy based on CT perfusion imaging, given the unsuccessful reports in the literature and the interventional radiologist's experience, the decision was made to offer microsurgical embolectomy of the calcified cerebral embolus.3 Informed consent for the procedure was obtained directly from the patient. Calcified, crumbly embolus was removed from a 5 mm longitudinal arteriotomy. The arteriotomy was sutured with interrupted 10-0 suture. Initial flow after the embolectomy was 6.5 mL/min. Upon inspection, a distal kink was found in the M2 and after repositioning, flow improved to 35 mL/min. Postoperative CT angiography documented complete recanalization. The clinical findings completely resolved (NIHSS 0) within 12 hr and remained unchanged at 3 mo and 1 yr. Informed consent was obtained from the patient for use of media for educational and publication purposes.

Objective: To determine the thicknesses of retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) and macula by fourier-domain (FD)optical coherence tomography (OCT) in diabetic patients with end-stage renal failure (ESRF) undergoinghemodialysis. Study Design: Cross-sectional study. Place and Duration of Study: Pakistan Naval Ship, Shifa Karachi, from Jan 2019 to Jul 2019 Methodology: Fifty four patients presenting to nephrology department who met the inclusion criteria wereincluded in the study. Macular and retinal nerve fibre layer thicknesses were compared pre and post 30 minutesof hemodialysis and their correlation (r=-0.89) with age, duration of hemodialysis and gender was examined. Pre hemodialysis temporal, inferior, average retinal nerve fibre layer thicknesses were observed thinner than Post hemodialysis. Results: Pre-hemodialysis macular thicknesses were thinner than post hemodialysis. Thinning of Macular andRNFL showed a negative relationship with age and duration of hemodialysis (r=-0.89 & -0.76). Temporal, superior quadrants and average retinal nerve fiber layer thickness values were found statistically different in pre and post 30 minutes hemodialysis examination (p-value = 0.002, 0.001 & 0.0021) while, nasal and inferior quadrants were found statistically insignificant. Whereas in macula, temporal and superior quadrants were found statistically significant (p-value=0.005 & 0.002) and nasal, Inferior and average thickness were found statistically insignificant (p-value = 0.0641, 0.0594 & 0.083).

The purpose of this research was to investigate the ceramic appreciation curriculum design and implementation outcomes of fifth grade students in Shi-Quan Elementary School, Penhu County. The self-designed ceramic appreciation curriculum was applied to fifth grade students for ten sections within five weeks in order to decide the appropriate course contents and teaching strategies. A ceramic appreciation test was given to each student before and after the experiment for evaluating his/her performance. Each student was also required to fill out a questionnaire to give his/her suggestions about the class. The results of this study may provide the foundation to develop the school-based curriculum for Shi-Quan Elementary School. The results of this study were as followed: 1.For the design of ceramic appreciation curriculum, ceramic creation skills, visional principles and components were needed to be combined with students’ creation experience. Both of “repetition, symmetry, contrast, layer, and rhythm” and “line, color, and shape” were the most effective lessons for learning. 2.Imitation of real ceramic objects could be the teaching materials for the introduction level. For example, imitation class for “tea pot” may fit for students to understand the creativity and variation of modern ceramics, but human body imitation might be hard for students in this level. 3.The student’s abilities of ceramic appreciation were enhanced according to the result of ceramic appreciation test, and their abilities of “content description”, “formal analysis”, “meaning interpretation” and “value evaluation” were decreasing by sequence. The curriculum design should focus on building student’s abilities of “content description” and “formal analysis” in fifth grade level. 4.Curriculum design should match with students’ abilities first. “Meaning interpretation” can be taught before “content description” and “formal analysis”. 5.The ceramic appreciation website and power point presentation by using computer-integrated instruction were appropriate instructional media and teaching strategies. 6.Using the “dialogue” teaching strategy in ceramic appreciation class was effective but teachers had to follow the teaching principles and well prepare the questions in advance. 7.Students who participated in this experimental class showed positive attitudes towards curriculum design and implementation. By attending the class, students’ interests of learning ceramics were increased.

As the learning of culture through native dialect become more and more emphasized, the Ministry of Education has added local culture teaching into the curriculum of elementary school education, hoping to cultivate the next generation with a sensation towards local culture so that they will cherish their own culture. Taiwanese opera is perhaps the only traditional drama that has been developed locally and it has accompanied Taiwanese people for the past century. In order for elementary school students to have a deeper understanding of native art and dialect, the researcher tried to incorporate this traditional drama – Taiwanese opera –into the teaching of arts and humanities. This study discusses whether the interest of students in learning native dialect will increase through traditional drama appreciation and performances. The purposes of this study are as follows: 1)To understand the attitude of elementary school students toward appreciating Taiwanese opera. 2)To discuss the factors which affect students’ willingness of appreciating Taiwanese opera. 3)To discuss the significance and value of Taiwanese opera in the teaching of traditional art. 4)To understand how well the elementary school students accept the teaching of Taiwanese opera, and the feasibility of adding it into the curriculum of arts and humanities. 5)To discuss students’ interest in and reaction to the learning of native dialect through Taiwanese opera. This study is an action research using fifth graders at Shi-Lin Elementary School where the researcher teaches as the subjects. Through the teaching of Taiwanese opera appreciation and performance, this study discusses the difficulties that teachers have when instructing students to perform, and looks for ways that help students increase their interest in native art and dialect. Interviews, observations and recordings are done in class. After the teaching, a survey is conducted. The analysis of the survey reveals the following conclusion: 1)The curriculum design of Taiwanese opera teaching can help students learn both native art and dialect. 2)Having students perform Taiwanese opera can help them better understand local culture and native art. 3)Having students perform Taiwanese opera can increase their interest and ability in learning Taiwanese. This study suggests the following: 1)Create a supporting environment emphasize teamwork and classroom order. 2)Provide art teachers with opportunities for advanced studies traditional art to cultivate teachers’ knowledge. 3)Provide films and scripts of Taiwanese opera appropriate suitable for children and increase the campus tours of Taiwanese opera troupe.

The poem, in which the boat ‘speaks’, is read as unusually brilliant homework, as autobiography, as showing-off, as prophecy, as an account of empire. The Pyrrhic continuance or persistence of the drowning boat is read as an image of literature itself.

Full text
Abstract:
The U.S. Navy has experimented with many approaches to design and build its ships. Using an existing design as the “parent” design, also referred to as “modified-repeat” design, is on its face an attractive option. Many acquisition executives, program managers and some ship design engineers believe that a design based on a parent has fewer technical risks than a new “clean sheet of paper” design and therefore the time and cost to design and build it will be reduced. They assume early in the ship acquisition program that “the design is mature”” and because of that fewer problems will be encountered in completing the design and savings will thus be accrued. Yet, a number of naval ships based on a parent design have in fact experienced unanticipated cost and schedule growth during construction as well as technical problems during their in-service life. The authors will examine some of these ship designs which were based on an existing design and/or prototypes and highlight the fallacies of such beliefs and assumptions. The authors will also briefly describe the development and use of more physics-based design tools during early stage design that can reduce the risks of a new clean sheet ship design through design space exploration and actual design maturation. The authors are convinced from our experience on over fifty major naval ship designs that much of the unbudgeted and unnecessary growth in the costs to produce naval ships can be attributed to poor design decisions during early concept design. Achieving a truly mature or stable ship design earlier in the design process is critical for ensuring successful ship design, acquisition, construction, and in-service outcomes.

Abstract:
Ship construction and modernization costs for naval vessels are escalating and becoming unaffordable relative to authorized funding levels. The Navy and its contractors must find new and innovative ways to reduce the cost of ship system design and upgrades. The current engineering processes for layout, production planning, and management of cable installations for electrical power and signals of Navy vessels are extremely complex and time consuming, taking hundreds of thousand man-hours for large naval combatants. Millions of feet of cabling are required to support the advanced and highly sophisticated systems now common to most ships of the U.S. Navy. While in the last thirty years 3D CAD packages and multi-physics analysis have become common in the design of ships, the cable route validation, production planning, and installation management for ships has remained unchanged: a labor-intensive process that cannot meet the current cost and schedule demands. In fact, the current cable management processes found in U.S. shipyards is not integrated and there are no tools currently available that address the complete process from validation to final production planning. A two-year National Shipbuilding Research Program (NSRP) project began in late 2011 focusing on the adaptation, enhancement, and customization of wiring application software applicable to all ship programs to reduce cost and time for validation of cable layout design, creation of wiring and signal schematics, generation of production work packages, progressing the installation of hangers and cables, and the generation of test procedures. The project builds upon a proven wiring and cable management solution developed by TechnoSoft and successfully deployed on military aircraft. The same basic approach applies to a complex ship design with the potential to save millions of dollars based on the Navy’s shipbuilding plan. Newport News Shipbuilding in conjunction with TechnoSoft is customizing the wiring application software and plans to validate the application on the first ship of a new aircraft carrier class (CVN 78) with the intent of deploying it on numerous ship acquisition and modernization programs. CVN 78 includes hundreds of systems for power, communication, and control. These systems are connected through wire ways with more than fourteen million feet of cables over thousands of hangers. The validation and updates of the cables’ layout and hangers, the generation of the schematic drawings, installation drawings, and work packages along with the planning and tracking of the installation schedules is estimated to take hundreds of thousands of man-hours. The application will be used on the CVN 78 in parallel with the current “as-is” process on at least five cable systems to validate the application and to provide metrics against a baseline design process. Expected benefits resulting from the application development include a fifty percent reduction in initial deployment and a ninety percent reduction in the work associated with design modifications. This paper will document savings realized to date via the deployment of the application on CVN 78 and report on the progress towards transitioning this technology on different ship programs.
