Adhesive bonding plays a fundamental role in various industries, including aerospace, aeronautics, and automotive sectors. Unlike traditional mechanical joints, adhesive joints offer an efficient approach with fewer components, leading to weight reduction in the final structure. Additionally, these joints facilitate the joining of dissimilar materials while distributing applied loads more uniformly, resulting in better stress distributions compared to conventional joining techniques. Within this context, the integration of adhesive bonds in joggle tubular structures presents a viable alternative to join tubes with identical diameter. The bi-adhesive technique involves using a brittle adhesive in the inner overlap region, and a ductile adhesive at the overlap edges, aiming to improve load transfer. The objective of this study is to conduct a numerical analysis using cohesive zone modelling (CZM) to investigate the tensile behavior of joggle tubular adhesive joints between composite adherends and bonded by the bi-adhesive technique. Initially, the proposed CZM approach is validated against experimental data. Subsequently, the focus is on numerically assessing the tensile strength of the joints and testing different bi-adhesive joint options, aiming to improve the maximum load (Pm), displacement at Pm (dPm), and energy absorbed at failure (Ef). Validation of the cohesive models has been successfully achieved. In conclusion, it was found that, depending on the bi-adhesive conditions, improvements are possible to obtain over single adhesive joints.

This research reveals the original medieval forms of the Convent of Poor Clares while contextualising the spatial interventions after the scandalous year 1433 that led to the urban transformation of the broader neighbourhood. The research methodology addressed historical visual sources analysed in the context of the information provided by archival documents, starting with the Ordo from 1433 and including all the City Councils’ deliberations until 1450. Linking these two sets of information resulted in the schematic and hypothetical visualisation of the disposition of the convent’s medieval buildings and the identification of all the changes in neighbouring public and private buildings and spaces implemented to achieve the perfect clausura inside the densely built urban fabric. Along with the prison sentence to be served inside this very convent, the nobility of the Republic of Dubrovnik ensured that the social values were preserved for the future.

Historical and cultural memory is put into practice through narratives. As a narrative medium, literature plays an important role in the process of transformation of the past events in cultural memory. This transformation includes critical reflection or affirmation of various aspects of memory and its social context. Literary texts in this paper include short stories of Jan Drda, Josef Škvorecký and Zdeněk Rotrekl which deal with the final days of the World War Two. We never get closer to the truth than in a novel. Louis Begley. Between Fact and Fiction (Zwischen Fakten und Fiktionen, Frankfurt am Main 2008) Memory in Cultural Studies The words ‘memory’ and ‘trauma’ appear in semantic nuances and various contexts of everyday speech fairly often1. Serving their own purposes and agenda, politics and official power discourse tend to remember some historical events and forget others. But what do the notions of memory and trauma mean from 1) Terms like memory (and remembrance) are now us...

E-commerce merupakan salah satu konsep yang cukup berkembang dalam bidang teknologi informasi. Konsep ini memberikan banyak kemudahan dan kelebihan jika dibandingkan dengan konsep belanja yang konvensional, diantaranya semua informasi yang diinginkan konsumen dapat diakses lebih detail, cepat tanpa dibatasi tempat dan waktu, dan proses transaksi pun bisa dilakukan menjadi jauh lebih mudah. Sehingga dengan penerapan sistem ini akan sangat mempermudah dan lebih menguntungkan banyak pihak, baik pihak konsumen, maupun penjual. Perkembangan internet menyebabkan terbentuknya dunia baru yang disebut dunia maya. Di dunia maya, setiap individu memiliki hak dan kemampuan untuk berinteraksi dengan individu lain tanpa batasan apapun yang dapat menghalanginya. Globalisasi yang sempurna sebenarnya telah berjalan di dunia maya yang menghubungkan seluruh komunitas digital. Dari seluruh aspek kehidupan manusia yang terkena dampak kehadiran internet, sektor bisnis merupakan sektor yang paling terkena dampak dari perkembangan Teknologi informasi dan telekomunikasi serta paling cepat tumbuh. Mobilitas manusia yang tinggi menuntut dunia perdagangan mampu menyediakan layanan jasa dan barang dengan cepat sesuai permintaan konsumen. Untuk mengatasi masalah tersebut, kini muncul transaksi yang menggunakan media internet untuk menghubungkan produsen dan konsumen. Internet dalam bisnis digunakan untuk pertukaran informasi, katalog produk, media promosi, surat elektronik, bulletin boards, kuesioner elektronik, dan mailing list. Internet juga bisa digunakan untuk berdialog, berdiskusi, dan konsultasi dengan konsumen secara online, sehingga konsumen dapat dilibatkan secara proaktif dan interaktif dalam perancangan, pengembangan, pemasaran, dan penjualan produk. Keunggulan strategi bisnis yang dapat diperoleh dari internet adalah komunikasi global dan interaktif, menyediakan informasi dan pelayanan sesuai dengan kebutuhan konsumen, meningkatkan kerja sama, memungkinkan untuk membuka pasar, produk, atau pelayanan baru, serta mengintegrasikan aktivitas secara online.
