Abstract:
Research on religion can advance understanding of social cognition by building connections to sociology, a field in which much cognitively oriented work has been done. Among the schools of sociological thought that address religious cognition are: structural functionalism, symbolic interactionism, conflict theory, phenomenology, and, most recently, exchange theory. The gulf between sociology and cognitive science is an unfortunate historical accident.

Abstract:
In this article, I discuss the sociality of information flow by investigating a momentous yet often-neglected side of it—the reinforcing info-causal loops between habitus and structures. I treat habitus as a principled agent and explain how structure sustains itself (under the framework of Fiske and Pinker et al.) by upholding principles as goals or reducing them into subroutines (goal subjugation). At the structural level, four dominant categorical schemes—game theory, network analysis, systems functionalism, and field theory—are investigated for the characteristic information flow that they can capture. The result is an info-sociological approach that acknowledges causal symmetry between structure and agents.

Abstract:
The prerequisites for the formation of the theory of post-structuralism within the framework of sociological theory are set out in the article. The problems of the development of neo-functionalism as the first direction of post-structural sociological theory as an alternative theory to structural functionalism have been identified. The prospects for further research in the formulation and implementation of career strategies and scenarios within post-structuralism have been explored. The influence of postmodern sociological and socio-philosophical ideas on the structure of societies by post-structural type is evaluated. The patterns of post-structural transformations in the countries of Western and Eastern Europe are characterized. The mechanisms of post-structural transformation of social structures of the countries of Western Europe and the state support of these processes on the example of economic reforms by M. Thatcher are considered in the text. The problems of transformation of the structures of the societies of the countries of Eastern Europe have been clarified and compared with the social and socio-economic features of the parade of sovereignty of the Soviet republics and the countries party to the Warsaw Pact. The peculiarities of the transformation of the structures of society by post-structural type in different parts of Europe are compared. The impact of the liberal transformation of public institutions in the second half of the twentieth century and the beginning of the twenty-first century on the formation and implementation of career strategies of Europeans was evaluated. The peculiarities of the formation of career strategies within societies with transformed public institutions by post-structural type are determined. An outline of the development of further career strategies and scenarios in the short and medium term perspectives for the formation and implementation of career strategies in Europe is provided. The article deals with the peculiarities of planning career strategies in the framework of post-structuralism and the peculiarities of the influence of neo-functionalism on. The concept of career strategy in the context of the achievements of the sociology of post-structuralism is considered. Examples of career strategies developed within a post-structural society are examined and ways of their evolution are explored. The peculiarities of the formation of career strategies at different stages of the evolution of a post-structural society are analyzed and forecasts of their further development are given.The author emphasized that poststructuralism was the answer to the crisis of structural functionalism, whose methodology could no longer satisfy most sociologists and the scientific community in providing valid research and interpretations of social relations in the societies of Western Europe and North America. It has been suggested that in the future, post-structuralist society will be modernized into a society that will have a more stable structure through differentiation of society by individual value orientations, which will allow to function within individual social structures, which will be massive and will not intersect at one another, but will not intersect at one another. only massive public structures. This will allow the implementation of offline career strategies within a separate public structure.

Kajian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan penegakan hukum terhadap pembajakan karya cipta melalui pendekatan indikator penegakan hukum dalam perspektif teori fungsionalisme struktural. Metode yang digunakan dalam kajian ini adalah yuridis empiris, yaitu mendeskripsikan fenomena (penegakan hukum terhadap pembajakan karya cipta) dalam perspektif fungsional struktural. Sedangkan analisis data yang digunakan adalah kualitatif. Data yang telah diperoleh dianalisis melalui penalaran berdasarkan logika untuk dapat menarik kesimpulan yang logis. Hasil kajian menunjuk-kan bahwa penegakan hukum terhadap pembajakan karya cipta melalui rezim hukum hak cipta tidak efektif, karena itu perlu pendekatan sistematis berdasarkan teori fungsionalisme struktural, yaitu adaptation (harus menyesuaikan dengan lingkungan hukum hak cipta itu berlaku), goal attainment (memenuhi tujuannya yaitu kepastian hukum, keadilan, dan kemanfaatan), integration (satu kesatuan yang mencakup hukum-nya [Undang-Undang Hak Cipta], penegak hukum, fasilitas pendukung, masyarakat dan budaya [hukum]), latency (melengkapi, memelihara, dan memperbaiki, motivasi individu maupun pola-pola kultural yang menopang motivasi untuk mentaati Undang-Undang Hak cipta). Law Enforcement on The Study of Copyright Works In Perspective Theory of Structural Functionalism This study aims to describe law enforcement against copyright piracy through an Indicator of Law Enforcement approach in the Perspective of Structural Functionalism Theory.The approach method used in this study is empirical juridical, which is to describe the phenomenon (law enforcement against copyright piracy) in a functional structural perspective. While the data analysis used is qualitative, ie the data that has been obtained is analyzed through logic based reasoning to be able to draw logical conclusions.The results of the study show that law enforcement against copyright piracy through an ineffective copyright law regime therefore requires a systematic approach based on structural functionalism theory, namely: Adaptation, must adapt to the applicable copyright law environment. Goal attainment, fulfilling its objectives, namely legal certainty, justice and expediency. Integration, is a unit that includes: the law (copyright law), law enforcement, supporting facilities, society and culture (law). Latency, equipping, maintaining, and improving, individual motivation and cultural patterns that support motivation to comply with the copyright law.

Abstract:
Abstract This paper positions itself as a study that portrays the Keroncong Wayang Gendut (Congwayndut) performance, as performance art that reflects structural functionalism. Because Congwayndut explicitly contained aspects of structural functionalism. In this paper, Congwayndut is positioned as an organism that has a structure and functions socially and culturally. Congwayndut is one of the many performing arts groups capable of interpreting traditional art in contemporary, meaning that it responds to the millennial generation with the construction of traditional performances, namely shadow puppet art. . Congwayndut has an important role in the development process or as a performance art model that accommodates other art disciplines, including music, wayang, theater, script, visuals, dramaturgy, which are combined as a typical Indonesian performance art prototype. Therefore, the structural-functional point of view emerged, as a step to explain to the public about the cultural phenomena experienced by Congwayndut. Structural functionalism was born as a reaction against the theory of evolution. If evolutionary studies aim to establish the stages of human cultural development, then structural-functionalism studies aim to build a social system, or social structure, through the study of the functioning patterns of relations between individuals, between groups. -groups, or between social institutions in a society, at a certain period of time. Keywords: Congwayndut, Cross-Border Performing Arts, Structural Functionalism Abstrak Tulisan ini, memposisikan diri sebagai kajian yang memotret pertunjukan Keroncong Wayang Gendut (Congwayndut), sebagai seni pertunjukan yang merefelksikan fungsionalisme struktural. Karena di dalam Congwayndut secara eksplisit terkandung aspek fungsionalisme struktural. Congwayndut di dalam tulisan ini diposisikan sebagai organisme yang memiliki struktur, dan memiliki fungsi secara sosial budaya.Congwayndut adalah satu satu dari sekian banyak kelompok seni pertunjukan, yang mampu menafsir seni tradisi secara kekinian, artinya merespon generasi milenial dengan konstruksi pertunjukan tradisi yakni kesenian wayang kulit. Congwayndut memiliki peran penting dalam proses pengembangan atau sebagi model seni pertunjukan yang mengakomodir disiplin seni yang lain, ada musik, wayang, teater, naskah, rupa, dramaturgi, yang dijadikan satu sebagai purwarupa seni pertunjukan yang khas Indonesia. Oleh sebab itu lah sudut pandang struktural fungsional muncul, sebagai langkah untuk menjelaskan kepada publik, tentang gejala fenomena budaya yang dialami oleh Congwayndut. Fungsionalisme struktural lahir sebagai reaksi terhadap teori evolusi. Jika tujuan dari kajian-kajian evolusi adalah untuk membangun tingkat-tingkat perkembangan budaya manusia, maka tujuan dari kajian-kajian fungsionalisme struktural adalah untuk membangun suatu sistem sosial, atau struktur sosial, melalui pengajian terhadap pola hubungan yang berfungsi antara individu-individu, antara kelompok-kelompok, atau antara institusi-institusi sosial di dalam suatu masyarakat, pada suatu kurun masa tertentu. Kata Kunci : Congwayndut, Seni Pertunjukan Lintas Batas, Fungsionalisme Struktural

Abstract:
Applying systems analysis in political science research is still one of the important dimensions of political science methodology. Reconstruction of the functional model of the social system seems to be an attractive proposition for policy researchers. Signed by the name of Jeffrey Charles Alexander, the American version of neofunctionalism is one of the responses to the crisis of traditional forms of structural functionalism. The main purpose of the reconstruction of T. Parsons’s theory was its revitalization consisting in restoring the possibility of its application in contemporary social research. The reinterpretation of the classical approach was to a large extent “forced” by harsh criticism of the current approach and focused especially on attempts to overcome the limitations contained therein, which manifested in the impossibility of correlation of functional theorems with newly developing research currents Jeffrey Alexander restored relevance and emphasizes suitability for interpreting and explaining political processes and phenomena. Understanding the concept of functions and functional relations in the political environment allows for effective application in the analysis of contemporary political systems. Therefore, changing the method of functional analysis is a useful methodological tool in developing a political theory.

Abstract:
Shared values and norms are at the core for unifying different cultures socializing or working to fulfill the goals and mission of organizations. Researchers have not examined how employees representing different cultures socialize via shared norms and values in human service companies. The purpose of this ethnography study was to explore the process of 8 culturally different employees working together at a human service organization. Using purposeful sampling, multicultural employees were selected from 4 departments within the human service company. Face-to-face interviews, field notes, questionnaire, and participant observation were the tools for collecting the data. Descriptive coding, value coding, and the Ethnograph software was used to identify themes from the data. The analysis of the data evolved from using the approach of the hermeneutic circle, which consisted of examining the parts, such as activities and the connection to the whole, such as core values. According to the study, most employees engaged in sharing the norms and values of the human service company, ultimately fulfilling the goals or core values. However, 2 out of 8 participants engaged in conflict and had a lack of knowledge about 1 out of 4 core values. Knowledge and compliance to the core values were fundamental ingredients for providing quality services. This study leads to positive social change by providing human service organizations information on compliance to the entire core values of the human service company and knowledge of the complete core values of the human service company.

This chapter examines five main approaches in comparative politics that represent important contributions: old and new institutional analysis, interest approach, ideas approach, individual approach, and the influence of the international environment. The role of ‘interaction’ is also explored. After explaining the use of theory in comparative political analysis, the chapter considers structural functionalism, systems theory, Marxism, corporatism, institutionalism, governance, and comparative political economy. It also discusses behavioural and rational choice approaches, how political culture helps to understand political behaviour in different countries, self-interest in politics, and the implications of globalization for comparative politics. The chapter concludes by assessing the importance of looking at political processes and of defining what the ‘dependent variables’ are.

AbstractThis chapter covers the overview of requirements arising in the aerospace industry for operating a structural health monitoring (SHM) system. The requirements are based on existing standards and guidelines and include both requirements on the physical components of the system (such as sensors, data acquisition systems and connectors) and their functional requirements (such as reliability, confidence measure and probability of detection). Emphasis has been given to on-board and ground-based components because they have different functionality requirements. An important factor in the reliability of the system is the effect of the environment and operational loads on the reliability of the diagnosis and, consequently, prognosis. The recommended guidelines for testing the reliability of the system under varying operational conditions are presented. This chapter is then finalized by reporting on methodologies for optimal sensor number and placement, based on different sensor technologies and different optimization algorithms.

Abstract:
Collisions between ships contribute to ship losses even in modern time. In numerous research projects, new innovative side-shell structures have been proposed and assessed in contrast to conventional side-shell structure designs with respect to their crashworthiness properties. The current paper presents an in-depth comparison and assessment (by means of experiments and nonlinear finite element simulations) of three innovative side-shell structures referred to as the X-core, the Y-core and the intrusion-tolerant corrugated panel structures; all of them have been presented separately in the literature before. The objective is to compare the three concepts against a typical reference double-hull side-shell structure and challenge their structural designs with respect to energy absorption, penetration depth at fracture of the inner barrier during a bulb-impact loading condition, weight and manufacturing cost. It is concluded from the investigation that there is not one candidate who is superior to the others. Hence, the structures have to be further developed or trade-offs have to be made depending on the indented functionality of the structure and risk for collision related to e.g. distribution of likely collision angels.

Abstract:
Dielectric electroactive actuators (DEAs) are polymer materials capable of reallocating their shapes mechanically due to an electric stimulus [1]. They can also be used as sensors by producing an electrical change from an induced mechanical deformation [2]. However, production of these materials using traditional manufacturing methods is a challenging process. The use of additive manufacturing promises to be an improved method to overcome those challenges. In addition, selection of dielectric materials that can function as DEAs and are capable of being produced through additive manufacturing is challenging. The actuation capabilities of the DEA depend heavily on the electrical and mechanical material properties of the dielectric material used to build it, and not all dielectric materials have the capacity to function as DEAs. The likelihood of a material functioning as a DEA is difficult to predict due to the large number of variables. Therefore, this paper introduces a simple method for comparing materials, particularly 3-D printed materials for their viability to be used as DEAs. The study proposes a method to compare 3-D printable materials by using coefficients calculated from the materials’ electromechanical properties. This value is then compared to an ideal DEA material. The higher the value, the better the 3-D printable material will be in comparison to a selected optimal DEA material. The coefficient is based on a linear elastic model that describes the strain of the material in relation to the electromechanical pressure applied as a result of supplied voltage. This study tested three materials using a quantitative method along with experimental verification. The study demonstrates the relationship between the predictive coefficients and the physical actuation responses with disc-type actuators providing a simple method for predicting actuation potential of 3-D printable DEA material candidates.

Abstract:
High-temperature polymer-matrix composites (PMCs) are necessary and critical for the development of supersonic aircraft and orbital re-entry vehicles because of the need for light-weight design, high strength-to-weight ratios and high thermal stability in structures. Damage detection is a primary concern in composite structures because they are prone to multiple damage forms that can be hidden within the structure. Damage can include matrix cracking, fiber breakage, and delamination which can be caused by impacts, fatigue, or overloading. To overcome these shortfalls highly damage tolerant structures are employed to improve the safety of structures. Unfortunately this requires additional, potentially unnecessary, structural weight which is detrimental to aerospace structures. Acoustic ultrasound based structural health monitoring (SHM) has demonstrated the ability to overcome these problems by using arrays of Lead Zirconate Titanate piezoelectric transducers typically mounted on a flex circuit all of which is permanently affixed to, or embedded within, a structure [1] [2] [3] [4]. These transducers can excite and detect ultrasonic wave propagation in the structure and diagnostic algorithms, interpreting the signals, have been developed enabling real time inspection for damage. However, modern SHM systems are not capable of surviving the high temperatures experienced in the fabrication and service of High-temperature polymer matrix composites. In particular the Lead Zirconate Titanate piezoelectric elements typically depolarize and lose their functionality at around 200°C [5] [6]. Additionally, current SHM diagnostic algorithms are dependent on baseline data to compare signals to. These signals change with temperature and even just a few degree change can be detrimental to the system’s abilities. The current method for enabling functionality over a range of temperatures is to take numerous sets of baseline data at very high resolution across a range of temperatures. In order to adapt SHM for high temperature composites new piezoelectric materials must be developed capable of surviving elevated fabrication and operational temperatures. Small scale network components must be integrated to reduce detrimental effects of embedding SHM systems within the composite layup [7] [8] [9]. Additionally, methods for reducing the number of baseline data sets in the diagnostic algorithms must be developed. This paper presents development and testing of Bismuth Scandium Lead Titanate piezo ceramic transducers for high temperature SHM. These transducers are incorporated into a stretchable network system and mounted on a glass backing. Functionality is tested using a commercially available data acquisition system designed for SHM and intended for use with PZT transducers. Ongoing development of temperature compensation algorithms is also presented herein.

Abstract:
Design requirements for a Semi-submersible Type Mega-float are safety and functionality, and it has been shown that solutions which satisfy the requirements exist. In this paper, in order to find the optimal configuration of a semi-submersible type mega-float, an efficient optimization procedure and an objective function based on concept of risk were proposed. This function unifies the structural weight and the requirements of safety and functionality such as motion and elastic response. To reduce heavy computational load, a simplified analysis model with sufficient precision and short computational time was developed and used for the optimization. The simplified analysis model was developed based on the theory of plate. Using this modeling and the objective function, the structure was optimized and more efficient configuration of a semi-submersible type mega-float was obtained.

Abstract:
The concept of self-healing materials has gained widespread acceptance in the research community. Over recent years a diverse array of bio-inspired self-healing concepts, from solid-state diffusion to liquid-phase healing in a broad range of engineering materials, embracing ceramics, polymers and fibre reinforced polymer composite materials have been proposed in the open literature. In this research study the liquid-phase healing of operational damage, namely impact damage, is being addressed. The challenge of self-healing advanced fibre reinforced polymer composites is ensuring healing success without degrading the host composite’s performance, a problem not encountered in the self-healing of generic polymeric systems. In the genre of self-healing fibre reinforced composite materials, autonomous healing has been undertaken by a healing medium already located within the damage zone and released through the damage site either passively or actively through human invention. This approach requires the ‘engineering’ control of the storage medium’s toughness for release and the development of bespoke resin chemistries to be compatible with the manufacturing route, to remain active whilst latent and then to recover full mechanical performance once a damage event occurs. This study has generated a proof of concept whereby the healing medium is only deployed to the damage site once a sensor has been triggered. In essence this study aims to develop stimuli triggered deployment of a healing medium held remotely in a storage reservoir to repair impact damage to a composite material. The principle of the concept is revolves around the ability of a reservoir to deliver a healing medium to a damage site via a network of vessels contained in the centerline of the composite laminate. A Labview controlled peristaltic pressure rig containing the reservoirs for the resin and hardener, their independent pumps, pressure gauges, control switches and indicators was developed. Through the application of an impact event successfully deliver and subsequent healing of the damage event was achieved showing the potential of this concept for minimising parasitic mass and maximising healing potential in fibre reinforced composite materials.

Abstract:
Zipper tear strips (ZTS) are the most common user friendly, tamper-proof, opening system for paperboard and corrugated cardboard packaging. The base of ZTS design structure has parallel partial cuts repeated in the direction of the desired tearing line. The height (strip-width) of the tab can vary same as the shape in the cut design structure. In order to collect the most common zipper tear structure data, parameters were measured from samples of paperboard packaging found in a frequent Croatian supermarket. The obtained data was used to define 8 types of samples which were together with 4 new samples tested on two mainly used paperboards (250 g/m2 GC1 and 270 g/m2 GC2). Three type of tests were conducted: pull test for maximal tearing force, compression test to measure the structural degradation of a packaging and manual tearing to test the ZTS opening functionality success rate in real-life handling conditions. The results show that the 45° angle is most functional option and should be combined with the wider 13mm ZTS instead of the usual 10mm. Also, there is an indication that a 0,5mm increase between cuts can slightly improve structural stability and when combined with the wider tab can attain an increased tear resistance while having the adequate opening functionality success rate.

Abstract:
We look to expand the reach of continuum topology optimization to include the design of ‘structures’ that gain functionality or are specifically manufactured from discrete, non-overlapping objects. While significant advancements have been made in restricting the geometric properties of topology-optimized structures, including restricting the minimum and maximum length scale of features, continuum topology optimization is still largely limited to monolithic structures. A wide variety of structures and materials, however, gain their stiffness or functionality from discrete objects, such as fiber-reinforced composites. This work examines a recently developed method for optimizing the distribution of discrete objects (2d inclusions) across a design domain and extends the approach to variable shape and variable sized objects that must be selected from a designer-defined set. This essentially enables simultaneous optimization of object sizes, shapes, and/or locations within the projection framework, without need for additional constraints. As in traditional topology optimization, gradient-based optimizers are used with sensitivity information estimated via the adjoint method, solved using finite element analysis. The algorithm is demonstrated on benchmark problems in structural design for the case where the objects are stiff inclusions embedded in a compliant matrix material.

Abstract:
Throughout the 20th century, the evolution of control systems has proceeded from extremely simplistic systems to those with large complicated architectures and strong centralized control. Recently, the advantages of more distributed control architectures have been increasingly recognized, including even closing the loops at the actuation locations. This trend toward more distributed control systems has been mirrored in the new field of so-called “smart” structures in which the enhanced performance, multi-functionality and efficiency of biological constructs (arising from their ability to adapt and the distributed hierarchical nature of their organization) is emulated in new advanced structural designs. Considerable work has been carried out to develop fiber optic technology for smart structures applications. Recent developments in fiber optic communications and in fiber optic sensing indicate that fiber optic technology will be very important to the successful development of many of the smart structures of the future. It has long been recognized that one of the key functionalities required for a structure to be termed smart is an ability to sense, i.e. if the results of an action cannot be observed, closed loop control is impossible. For advanced control purposes, the use of long gauge length fiber optic sensors configured as matched filters for the preprocessing of large amounts of data appears to offer considerable potential benefit. In this paper, a formal definition of a smart structure is provided and an overview of the technologies involved in the smart structures area is given. Potential beneficial use of these technologies in advanced control systems is then discussed with specific emphasis placed on the appropriate application of fiber optic technology.

Abstract:
The successful use of mega-frame theory for big buildings on the ground to control the vibration reminds us to investigate a new kind of platform using the theory. The concept platform is made up of major columns and major beams. The major columns stand vertical and horizontal load. The major beams endure the horizontal load and averagely transfer the weight of the platform to the columns. The static analysis, mode analysis and simulation of vibration control are performed for the concept platform and other three types of platforms for comparisons. It is concluded that the concept platform is feasible in functionality since the platform has high holistic intensity and can avoid the partial breakage because of the columns of the MFPs being more equal burden under static loadings as compared with other kinds of platforms. It can also avoid the big distortion under the severe external loadings because of the MFPs having the equal mass and stiffness distribution. And the displacement of MFPs is very small under the randomexternal loadings. Furthermore, the MFPs will have similar structures and suitable for blocking manufacturing.

Abstract:
Report considers the field of governance first at the level of constitutional institutions and tradition, addressing the development of Turkey’s constitutional politics and contemporary debates as its subject matter. Secondly, the report includes the primary institutional structures relevant to establishing constitutional institutions into its subject matter. In this context, the political party regimes, electoral system, and public administration must be handled with their current structures and problems. Whether at the level of the constitution or the primary institutional structures, analyses are debated in terms of the socio-administrative dynamics that are determinant in shaping these structures, the effects these dynamics have on the formation of institutional structures and administrative traditions, and finally their impact on the functioning of Turkish politics. When creating the vision document, the report will identify Turkey’s stance within global debates through both its similarities, as well as its peculiarities to other nations. In this context, concrete and practicable recommendations are made to improve the functionality of the Presidential System, which was introduced with the 2017 Constitutional Referendum.

Abstract:
Surveys often require monitoring during data collection to ensure progress in meeting goals or to evaluate the interim results of an embedded experiment. Under complex designs, the amount of data available to monitor may be overwhelming and the production of reports and charts can be costly and time consuming. This is especially true in the case of longitudinal surveys, where data may originate from multiple waves. Other such complex scenarios include adaptive and responsive designs, which were developed to act on the results of such monitoring to implement prespecified options or alternatives in protocols. This paper discusses the development of an interactive web-based data visualization tool, the Adaptive Total Design (ATD) Dashboard, which we designed to provide a wide array of survey staff with the information needed to monitor data collection daily. The dashboard was built using the R programming language and Shiny framework and provides users with a wide range of functionality to quickly assess trends. We present the structure of the data used to populate the dashboard, its design, and the process for hosting it on the web. Furthermore, we provide guidance on graphic design, data taxonomy, and software decisions that can help guide others in the process of developing their own data collection monitoring systems. To illustrate the benefits of the dashboard, we present examples from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health). We also discuss features of the dashboard to be developed for future waves of Add Health.
